EATON column by Nancy E. Williams 1/29/25 447-5635

 

Please forgive my absence - there just aren’t words to express the heartache and pain my sister Judy and I are experiencing, due to the tragedy of the loss of her son/my nephew, David Condoulis, and his beloved Kim Bowker on December 11. You see, they were already starting to take care of Judy and me, which was such a comforting thought for us as we got older and faced our weaknesses. David and Kim loved us, each other, the Eaton community, nature in all its seasons, their special dogs - Tilly and Mako, their many friends who gave them so much joy and love. The proverbial “they” always say it takes a village to raise and nurture us along the path to happiness. Judy and I cannot in words describe the love, outpouring of tenderness, the many monumental tasks the people in our lives performed for us or gave to us to try to make this loss bearable. All of us loved these two young people so very much.

Yes, David Shedd and friends did indeed dig the burial site, Thomas Costello and friends made the two simple coffins for the “green” burial, which is what David and Kim wanted - to return to the earth completely. Maggie and her crew put on a wonderful spread of food with sandwiches, hot soup, cookies and more (and cleaned it all up later). The cold dark sky lifted to sunshine for the afternoon, and the participants all laughed, cried, shared stories, and the feeling of love and peace surrounded us. Rev. Mary Edes in her melodious voice sang songs and shared beautiful words with us all to lift our spirits. We cannot thank you all enough for your kindness, wisdom, warmth, and precious words. On June 21, we will hold a big celebration of the special lives of David and Kim at Tin Mountain Conservation Center for everyone and anyone who wishes to swap stories, laugh, hug, reminisce, share food and drink and just put so much love in the air that it surrounds all of us with happiness. Come one, come all and be with both David and Kim’s familIes and friends.

Our Town elections will be held on March 11. We will be voting to elect people to three Town offices: one selectman, one trustee of trust funds, and one supervisor of the checklist. There will also be a ballot for these school positions: board member, moderator, clerk, treasurer. If you are interested in running for one of these positions, you need to file the necessary paperwork at Town Hall by no later than January 31. For more information, contact the Town Clerk’s office which is open on Wednesday from 8 a.m to 5 p.m. and January 31 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Time is running out - please do this today.

The last day to submit petitions for inclusion on the 2025 Town Warrant is February 4th. A Public Hearing on the Town Budget will be on February 6th at 6 p.m. at the Town Hall. For additional details see the Town Website. Information for regularly scheduled meetings can be found under the “General Info” tab, and detailed information regarding the Town Meeting can be found under the “Town Meeting” tab.

Judy and I want to send a huge basket full of love and a big blanket of warmth to the Pliskins: Bridget, Phil, Kyle and Julianna on their tragic loss.
