On a section of rural highway, a tanker truck carrying toxic chemicals slides through a wet curve, overturns, and begins leaking its contents.
The nearest town in this remote, mountainous area has a population of under a thousand and a police department of just a few officers. The chief of police knows he and his community lack the resources to deal with such a serious incident.
Thanks to a software project funded through the Office of Justice Programs' National Institute of Justice (NIJ), however, he knows where he can turn to locate the critical help that he needs-CIRDRA.
CIRDRA, short for Critical Incident Response & Disaster Recovery Assistance, is an asset inventory and resource management system designed to function as a universal "Rolodex" for categorizing, indexing, locating, tracking, and sharing critical resources during emergency preparedness, readiness, response, and recovery activities.
Available at no charge to qualified first responder agencies, CIRDRA uses a simple open source design with a tiered hierarchy to help State and local law enforcement and emergency management departments organize their resources. Once an agency begins using CIRDRA to inventory its own assets, it can also enter into cooperative agreements with other neighboring jurisdictions to pool and share information and expedite the resource sharing needed to respond to many critical incidents.
CIRDRA had its origins in an effort to help members of NIJ's National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC) System identify and document the assets available to first responder agencies in the wake of a natural disaster such as Hurricane Katrina or in the event of a terrorist attack. NIJ called on Fred Davis from the Border Research and Technology Center, part of the NLECTC System, to coordinate the effort. Davis is a retired captain from the North Carolina Highway Patrol.
"We wanted to find a software solution that would meet the needs of the NLECTC System but would also provide a quick and easy way for the law enforcement community to identify, categorize, and share critical resource information," Davis says. "It dawned on us, if we make it generic enough, it could be used by State and local police departments, and maybe eventually as a national database." In early 2007, research lead Davis to find Marc Bracken, Senior Systems Architect for C4DB, Inc., who had developed previous systems with the desired features. Four months later, C4DB delivered a workable prototype and a Web-based version of CIRDRA that launched in September 2007.
NLECTC-Northwest in Anchorage, Alaska, now manages the CIRDRA database for the NLECTC System on a Web server, with each center having a point-of-contact person and entering its assets into the system. Davis also has distributed a number of the no-cost CD-ROMs at conferences, generating plenty of positive feedback from law enforcement and other first responders.
Davis says that CIRDRA allows agencies to comply with National Incident Management System (NIMS) requirements by cataloging all of their resources, including equipment, communications capabilities, personnel, volunteers, special teams, supplies, and services. The open source software runs on a basic PC or laptop using either the Windows Server or the Windows XP operating systems, and utilizes a Web-served structured query language (SQL) database with a simple, user-friendly appearance. Installing and/or customizing CIRDRA requires information technology support; however, C4DB (for a fee) offers assistance to agencies too small to have their own IT departments.
"CIRDRA can be used to help build relationships between agencies as they share information and resources," Davis says. "A lot of times, rural police don't have the needed resources in their own inventory when they respond to critical incidents, but the neighboring jurisdiction might have it. In law enforcement, we're always willing to share.
"In the next phase, if we can obtain funding, we want to integrate interactive GIS mapping of resources, the ability to patch communications systems together via integrated Web services, and event logging."

Three options for control, safety
By Paul Gruhn
This is part one of a two-part series.
In the evolving world of process industry safety system standards, vendors continue to release new systems. Everyone is promoting something different, and everyone claims their solution is the best. It is difficult just to keep track of all the developments.
Control systems, also known as basic process control systems (BPCS), control variables such as temperature, level, pressure, and flow. They also optimize fuel usage or product quality. Safety systems, also known as safety instrumented systems (SIS), monitor the process and bring the process or the equipment to a safe state in the event of a potentially hazardous condition.
Control and safety systems often need to communicate with each other and share information. Three types of methods accomplish this: interfaced, integrated, and combined. Each design philosophy offers advantages and disadvantages. Which option may be most suitable for a particular application will vary based on factors such as size, level of risk, location, expertise of staff, availability of support, and cost.
Traditional guidelines
Certain guidelines, recommended practices, and standards suggest and sometimes mandate separating control and safety systems.
The English Health and Safety Executive "strongly" recommended separate control and protection systems in its 1987 guideline, Programmable Electronics in Safety Related Applications. The American Institute of Chemical Engineers Center for Chemical Process Safety said the logic solvers are "normally" separated from similar components in the BPCS in its stated 1993 textbook, Guidelines for Safe Automation of Chemical Processes. The 1996 version of the ISA-84 standard, Application of Safety Instrumented Systems for the Process Industries, said the logic solver "shall be separated from the basic process control system except where some applications have combined control and safety functions in one logic system," such as turbines.
Some more recent standards softened their approach on the separation issue, primarily at the request of committee member end users. Mandating separate control systems for small packaged pieces of equipment used throughout a facility may be unpractical and unnecessary because of low risk, higher cost, and increased complexity.
The ISA-84 standard came out again in 2004. The ISA committee worked closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61511 committee in developing the IEC standard. ANSI/ISA-84.00.01-2004, Functional Safety: Safety Instrumented Systems for the Process Industry Sector, is the IEC 61511 standard with the added grandfather clause for existing systems. This standard said:
The design of the protection layers shall be assessed to ensure that the likelihood of common cause, common mode, and dependent failures between protection layers and between protection layers and the BPCS are sufficiently low in comparison to the overall safety integrity requirements of the protection layers. The assessment may be qualitative or quantitative.
We can interpret terms such as sufficiently low, as well as the type and degree of rigor of the assessment in different ways. And take this statement:
If it is intended not to qualify the basic process control system to this standard, then the basic process control system shall be designed to be separate and independent to the extent that the functional integrity of the safety instrumented system is not compromised.
Qualifying a control system to the safety system standard, which requires quite a few tasks of the end user, represents an onerous proposition for anything other than a small system. And perhaps most importantly:
A device used to perform part of a safety instrumented function shall not be used for basic process control purposes where a failure of that device results in a failure of the basic process control function, which causes a demand on the safety instrumented function, unless an analysis has been carried out to confirm that the overall risk is acceptable.
Again, the second part of that statement is open to interpretation. What is the extent and degree of rigor of the analysis?
The IEC 61508 standard, Functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems, which is a standard for manufacturers to follow in the design of their systems, when implementing an E/E/PE safety-related system to safety and non-safety functions, states all hardware and software "shall be treated as safety-related unless" you can show failure of any non-safety-related functions does not cause a dangerous failure of the safety-related functions. Another key statement is, where practicable, you should separate safety-related functions from the non-safety-related functions. It states you should exercise caution if implementing non-safety functions and safety functions in the same E/E/PE safety-related system. While the standard allows this, it could get complicated and make it more difficult to carry out E/E/PES safety lifecycle activities such as design, validation, functional safety assessment, and maintenance.
Interfaced control and safety
The traditional approach for control and safety systems has been to provide two separate platforms from two separate vendors. The systems communicate with each other either using an industry standard protocol (MODBUS or OPC) or on the same proprietary highway as the control system (often using some form of gateway). While major control system companies usually offer safety systems, simple investigations reveal most systems were either acquired from different companies or supplied through some form of partnership with a different company.
The primary benefit of this approach is you can select the best in class of both systems for any particular application. It doesn't force a user to use the control system vendor's preferred safety system, but it strongly influences the decision. A secondary and maybe more important benefit is reducing potential common-cause problems. Using diverse hardware and software simply means any potential single problem (other than a high level design error) would be less likely to negatively impact both systems.
One drawback of such an approach is contractors, integrators, and end users have to learn two separate systems: hardware and software. Costs for training and spare parts for two systems are higher. Getting diverse systems to communicate is not always as easy as sales professionals or manuals say it will be. The initial costs of such an approach will be the highest.
Stay tuned for Part 2 in the October InTech for more information on integrated control and combined control and safety.

Best beer on tap the day we visited new hope. (Better than IPA and much better than the supposed Belgian Dubbel.) Skunks quickly in sunlight, so shade while drinking on the deck! Good fresh hop aroma and flavor, nice pilsner malt flavor, dry finish, hazy straw color. Nice hoppy flavor and aroma for a "blonde." I can't believe I ordered a "honey blonde": sounds like some crap on the shelf next to Zima. But it was fresh and tasty. I guess the honey was there, we'll see if it gives the mead post-drink headache...

Triumph "Honey Blonde".
Triumph's notes:
"A clean malt flavor is subtly accented by local wildflower honey"
Pale olive oil yellow with some minor bubbles from carbonation. Head is snow white and puffy, but quickly deflates. Minor lacing
A light honey is actually the predominant aroma, followed by some sweet malts.
Sweet maltiness is moderated by some bitter hops. The touch of honey adds a nice rounded feeling. Overall it's pretty one-sided, but the "honey" part is really a lot more pronounced than I would have expected -- this is a good thing as it give it a little character.
Really thin mouthfeel but not watery. Carbonation is of medium strength which is alright.
Pretty drinkable. Gets boring quickly though.

Practice continues unabated ~ A big 2015 commitment ~ Two Hoops Commits ~ Random Thoughts From Around the Country ~ and more NCAA shenanigans
Chael Sonnen was a guest on The Jim Rome Show on Showtime, and managed to take shots at NBA superstar Lebron James and retired NFL player Ray Lewis while talking about why he uses TRT.
Super Bowl XLVIII is set with the San Francisco 49ers meeting the Baltimore Ravens. The Niners are early 4.5-point favorites. It's the first Super Bowl matching head coaching brothers, Jim (49ers)...
Why does A-Rod get blasted for alleged PED use and Ray Lewis can shrug it off? Because football is defined by images, but baseball is defined by symbols.
Louie doing the famous Ray Lewis "Squirrel Dance" around Charm City! Had the week off before the Super Bowl. What better a way to spend the day then to do the famous Ray Lewis Squirrel Dance around Baltimore's famous locations! Share if you like it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bKmYJr9BaI

Call me the VoIP Commando. Or just call me Ted. Maybe I don't have a cool name like Kim Komando or a syndicated radio talk show about an exciting topic like computers, but at least I can help her iron out her "warnings" about VoIP.
FUD Number 1: It's hard to wire up all the phones in your house to use the VoIP service provider.
FACT Number 1: Once your old Bell service is turned off, just plug the ATA into any wall-jack in your home, and suddenly every other wall jack in your home is alive with VoIP dial-tone!
FUD Number 2: Lack of 911 dialing service through VoIP providers is a huge risk.
FACT Numer 2: 911 isn't the only way to reach the fire department. Put a sticker with the emergency dispatcher's seven digit local number on each phone in your house, or, if your ATA is so equipped, create a local dial-out aliased to the dispatcher so you can dial 911 in the event of emergency.
FUD Number 3: If the power goes out, so does your phone service.
FACT Number 3: Drive down to your local independent electronics dealer and buy a UPS. If you're anything like me, you get more aggravated when your Internet access is down than when your phone isn't working.
FUD Number 4: VoIP is really no cheaper than traditional phone service because you have to pay for a broadband connection.
FACT Number 4: Only if you buy it from the phone company. Buy it from Packet8, Broadvox Direct, or Vonage and you'll save $20 a month per line. Plus, you already have broadband. If you didn't want to pay for it, you wouldn't be thinking about VoIP, and you wouldn't be able to reap the savings it offers.
Now that I've gotten that off my chest, go visit Ms. Komando's web page, and when you call in to her show, you'll out-wit the expert!
Have you ever listened to Kim Komando? Does it ever make you cringe like the Screen Savers?

Worker and Immigrant Rights Advocacy Clinic
Mike Wishnie, Muneer Ahmad, Nicole Hallett
Students in the Worker & Immigrant Rights Advocacy Clinic (WIRAC) represent immigrants, low-wage workers, and their organizations in labor, immigration, criminal justice, civil rights, and other matters. The clinic docket includes cases at all stages of legal proceedings in Immigration Court, the Board of Immigration Appeals, U.S. District Court, the Second Circuit, and before Connecticut state agencies and courts. Its non-litigation work includes the representation of grassroots organizations, labor unions, and other groups in regulatory and legislative reform efforts, media advocacy, strategic planning, and other matters. All students handle at least one litigation and one non-litigation matter, and have the opportunity to explore multiple practice areas.

Alright, thanks a ton! Unfortunately I'm traveling and on my phone atm, but I'll hopefully get this written upasap. Just to clarify, the 2nd log was your on-site trick room team? Once again, thanks for being so cooperative with all this!
Hello, phetto, and congratulations on your win in the smogon tour! I'm GatoDelFuego, and im trying to write an article in The Competitor, smogon's tournament magazine, about each round undergone in the smogon tour. If you don't mind, can you tell me some information about yourself, like how long you've been doing tournaments for, the style of your team you used, and any particular matches you want me to highlight this round. it would be particularly helpful if you could pm me a log of the final match, if you don't mind. Thanks!
i reopened your team because i feel like you have enough differences (and apparently you feel the same way), so hopefully i didn't offend you with my locking message. sorry, good luck with the team :heart:
Nah I actually meant half 3... i.e. 20 mins ago :P. If you wanna play now, meet on Groudon's Grotto? Lemme know.
Cool, no worries :) Though could it be a bit earlier tomorrow, like 7-7.30 or something? I think I might be going out (Friday night etc..)

Soundmagic E30
"I have 5 sets of the e30 with varying amount of time on them ranging from brand new to 500 hours and there is so much variation that I don't know which one to review here. But generally, I'd say the e30 is neutral/warm yet detailed with a pleasing full bodied sound. It's 'hi-fidelity' in the sense that it imparts virtually no sound signature/sound stamp of its own onto your music..." --thelostMIDrange
Soundmagic E10
"First of all, I'd like to thank 'H20Fidelity' who recommended this IEM to me. I was not sure whether to go for this brand as i did not hear of it before. but thought of givin' them a try. Got it under 40USD. I had Sennheiser Precision 300-II before these and I liked them. The intention to purchase an IEM that was like Senn Precision 300-II was to have a pair of headphones that are just fun to..." --akshayshah12

"Build Quality: Not much to say than a solid IEM. The outside is "gunmetal" it looks like metal and feels like metal, but then again. I have been fooled before. The clip ...is just a clip, no deficiencies or poor moving around from it. The L shaped 3.5mm jack is also good. No weird wiggling parts, feels and looks solid. As it's an earphone, this section is generally good. The tip of the earphone..." --bowei006
PL50 In-ear Headphones
" Note: the star ratings are not absolute, but instead relative to its street price at this time (~$55) The pl50 represent a good value in budget IEMs, provided you like its particular sound signature and quirks. The pl50s have a tiny form factor. They are easy to insert and remove, and are more than flat enough to lie down in. Needless to say, they are among the most comfortable..." --JxK
Soundmagic Pl30 In-ear Headphones
" These and the PL50 are terrible quality buds, I went through both of them in less than 8 months. Both times they failed they left me in an awkward position where I really needed earbuds for working. Thus I would rate these as highly undesirable as I prize reliability and quality most. I would not waste your time with these.. " --jcotteri

Many social conservatives today fear our democracy is sliding rapidly toward full-blown state socialism under liberal democratic control.
Conservatives may object to how some governmental functions are administered, but do not object in principle to them since they are designed to benefit everyone.
What conservatives vigorously object to is the government taking part of their earnings and spending them on programs that benefit a small portion of the population, especially if they have a moral objection to the program.
For example, the government funds Planned Parenthood, an organization purportedly fostering low-income women's reproductive health with free pap smears and mammograms.
Yet by its own admission, at least 25 percent of its services is providing abortions to its clients. It is the largest abortion provider in the United States.
If, as a religious person, you believe abortion is morally reprehensible, then you are going to object to the government forcing you to help fund it through taxation.
Traditionally, social services to the poor were the domain of faith-based religious organizations. The charity provided was in line with the moral and ethical base of the organization, its members and contributors.
The First Amendment to the Constitution states, "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. . .."

Check out this pretty cool apartment in Norway - it's for sale by the way ;-) Everything here is about contrast : black vs. white, leather vs. sheepskin textures, white walls vs. glossy black floors. The genius here is in the use of a few colorful accessories that prevent the ensemble from appearing too cold and impersonal. Major bonus : Audrey is in the house! ;-)

text: Arriving on the heels of the Get Up Kids' success, Saves the Day burst out of the box with 1999's Through Being Cool, a terrific punk-pop album keyed to singer Chris Conley's lovelorn croon. STD's follow-up, 2001's Stay What You Are, vindicated the buzz and set the stage for a jump from Vagrant to DreamWorks for 2003's In Reverie. The major-label debut dispensed with any pretense of punk, though, as STD full-heartedly embraced pop, and produced an at times embarrassingly smarmy, sickly sweet album that undoubtedly felt like a betrayal to many longtime fans. Not surprisingly, it failed to meet sales expectations, and the band was subsequently dropped. Trying to recapture its momentum and looking for a label, STD's recorded a new album that marks a return to form ("The songs are short and fast and angry," says the band Web site). The band is joined on tour by fellow Jerseyites Senses Fail, whose chugging emocore has been compared to Saves the Day (except with occasional hardcore breakdowns and screaming).

About Me
iWrite, iRead, iListen, iScreed, Social Justice Ain't Just Us. Hey, boy Hey~~
Everything Rhymes With Alcohol
Listen up, Tumblr. There are some cold hard facts about being poor that you need to know before you try to talk to me or my family or any other poor person about anything involving money, food, jobs, housing or healthcare.
- Being poor is expensive as fuck. Living paycheck-to-paycheck means you can't shell out lots of money at once for a reliable car, so you have to buy a used car that might break down more often. Or maybe you can't pay monthly insurance costs so you end up with a $2000 emergency room bill. Renting costs more in the long run than owning. And so on.
- Asking for money doesn't fucking hurt anybody. As long as you ask in a way that is not abusive or coercive, you should not feel ashamed if you sometimes have to ask for money. ESPECIALLY if you do it via crowdsourcing or some other method that doesn't put pressure on any one person. Don't you dare shame a poor person for asking for help taking care of themselves or their family.
- Sometimes poor people have nice things. Yeah, I fucking said it. I have a nice TV and some game consoles that I bought when money was less tight. In fact, anytime a poor person gets an unexpected sum of money, like a birthday gift or a tax return, it often goes to something like that. Know why? Because we know we might never get another chance to buy the thing. And being resourceful people, we also know that if we have a chance to buy a nice thing now it will cost less in the long run than buying a neverending series of things that break after a month. We also get really fucking tired of always looking like poor people to everyone else. It sucks always being the house nobody wants to visit because somebody else can afford an XBOX 360 and you can't. Finally, you don't fucking know where that nice thing a poor person has came from. Maybe it was a gift, or somebody gave them a Best Buy gift card and they bought a laptop. Maybe a rich person was giving it away on Craigslist. Maybe the person wasn't always poor but shit got hard recently. Maybe they actually saved up pennies for a year to buy it. You don't know, and it's not actually your business anyway.
- Healthy food is more expensive than unhealthy food. I'm not going to even argue this point, I'm just going to fucking shout it. HEALTHY FOOD IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN UNHEALTHY FOOD.
- It's none of your business why someone is poor. Maybe they have a disability, maybe unemployment is high in their field, maybe they are part of a group that has been socioeconomically oppressed for generations and you don't just fucking pull your bootstraps up out of that. I've never met anybody who was poor just for the hell of it. But you know what? Some people are poor because they made irresponsible decisions or they're addicted to drugs or gambling. Those people are still people and they still deserve food and shelter.
- You can't always get what you need at a thrift store or garage sale, and if you can, it still costs money. Some people have never actually set foot in a thrift store, so let me tell you what they're like. There are rows and rows of clothes that are ugly or have holes in them or don't fit you. And by ugly, I mean ugly-sweater-party ugly, like if I wore that to work I'd get fired ugly. If you're REALLY lucky you might find ONE OR TWO things that fit and won't fall apart after one washing. If you're fat, trans or having other specific clothing needs it's even worse. These are clothes that people rejected, and most of the time it was for a reason. Then there's a lot of sketchy appliances from 1973 that somebody cleaned out of their mom's garage after she died, toys for children 3 and under but fuck you if you have a ten-year-old, etc. They can be surprisingly good places to find books and Disney VHS tapes, but that's about it.
- For similar reasons, things like Freecycle are spotty as hell. I live in a major metropolitan area. Currently, the things that are available on my local Freecycle list include an automatic pet water dish, various non-essential baby supplies, a "microwave splatter cover", and a couple of office chairs. This is pretty representative of what is generally offered. It's not a great place to get things you specifically need.
- There is no such thing as the welfare queen. This could be an entire post by itself, but let me give you a quick run-down of what 'welfare' usually consists of. This varies by state, but the aid available in Massachusetts includes food stamps ($200 a month max, doesn't buy things like toilet paper, diapers or pet food), Emergency Aid for Elders, Disabled and Children ($300/month max if you qualify, you obviously have to be elderly, disabled or have children, and have to have almost nothing in your bank account), MassHealth insurance (actually pretty good but the application process can be long, and the state penalizes you by withholding some of your tax return if you go too long without insurance), and Section 8 housing vouchers, for which there is a waiting list of a year or more. If you manage to qualify for EVERYTHING, and you don't have any kids, you might manage to scrape together enough to live off of. But barely. And MA is one of the better states for stuff like this.
There is probably a lot more shit I could tell you about what it's like to be poor, but I'm tired and achy and so done with this shit, so I'm gonna stop here.
Being poor is knowing exactly how much everything costs.

Planning Board opts against support of accessory apartment bylaw
Planning Board opts against support of accessory apartment bylaw
Oct. 10, 2013
By Chris Maza
LONGMEADOW – The Planning Board voted on Oct. 2 not to support a zoning bylaw amendment proposal that will be voted on at the Special Town Meeting that would allow accessory apartments in town.
Members of the board, as well as the Zoning Board of Appeals, School Committee and the public voiced concerns with the proposal, which was made by the Housing Authority with the primary purpose of helping families provide adequate, affordable space to an aging population.
The proposed bylaw would limit apartments to 900 square feet, including cooking, living and sanitary facilities. No more than two adults and two children would be allowed to live in that space and no dormitory-style rentals would be permitted.
The homeowner would be required to live in either the main house or the apartment.
"Currently a homeowner can add rooms to their house within the restrictions of the town bylaws. They can also rent out rooms in their house," Ed Kline, chair of the Housing Authority, said. "What distinguishes an accessory apartment, not currently permitted, is a walled-off unit from the main house. It offers privacy."
Kline suggested that primarily families who wished to allow elderly family members to have a living arrangement close by or to allow elderly homeowners to have on-site accommodations for caretakers would utilize the apartments.
At multiple public hearings, the public was asked to voice their opinions on housing in town and the need for more affordable housing options for seniors was one of the primary concerns, Kline said.
Research on the subject, he added, showed that accessory apartments increase home values and would therefore further benefit the community with increased tax revenues.
Planning Board Chair Walter Gunn, the only member who voted in favor of recommending the bylaw, suggested the Housing Authority pull the article from the warrant
"I voted for it, but for the record, I did go to the Housing Authority meeting [on Oct. 1] and myself and the town manager recommended not going forward with this at Town Meeting all because the same night is the vote on the casino referendum in Palmer and there well be a lot of paranoid, upset people at our Town Meeting,"?he said, adding that Longmeadow would be voting on its own non-binging casino referendum that if passed would compel town leaders to write a letter to the Massachusetts Gaming Commission recommending a casino not be placed in Springfield.
He said he didn't want the accessory apartment bylaw discussion to become a muddied part of the casino debate and if voted down, the Housing Authority would not be able to bring it back before the town for two years.
While he voted against recommending the bylaw, Planning Board member Roy Johansen said the town does have an aging population and a course of action to make staying in Longmeadow easier would need to be developed.
Building Commissioner Paul Healy's said in a letter to the Planning Board his only concern was making sure accessory apartments fall within the proper setbacks. Fire Chief Eric Madison had no issues, other than a request that a provision be added requiring the fire department be notified of any accessory dwellings for their records.
Police Chief Robert Siano, however, voiced concern in a letter to the board. He said the bylaw change proposal was "coming at a difficult time," specifically with the potential of a casino coming to Springfield.
"This would definitely change who might be coming into town (casino workers)," he wrote. "I have spoken with police chiefs near Connecticut casinos and they have stated several of their multi-family homes are being used by casino workers to 'hot bed,' that is to say someone is always coming and going at all times during the day and night as their shifts begin and end."
He added that if another bylaw change is made at the Special Town Meeting allowing on-street parking, it could create an issue as several homes only have single driveways.
Planning Board member Bruce Colton listed several issues he had with the proposal, prefacing his comments by saying he previously had supported an accessory apartment proposal in the past that allowed an exterior door, but no other outside construction on a house. That was withdrawn because of uproar from the town.
Colton said his first concern was there were no restrictions regarding who could utilize the apartments.
"All of the examples that are given, with the exception of health care workers, involve family, however, nothing in the bylaw limits this to family members," he said.
He added because the bylaw proposal includes the allowance of children, it raises issues regarding school impacts.
School Committee Chair Michael Clark said that the accessory apartment bylaw would raise "a whole host of issues for the district for which we are not prepared to address."
"We have a significant overpopulation of students as it is," he said. "To add two more students to a house, or to add even 10 more students to the district would require us to hire additional staff. We are not equipped financially to add staff, especially at the elementary level."
He added that with affordable housing comes a higher possibility of students with special education needs and an increase in students "who are not prepared to excel at the level students in Longmeadow do excel."
Clark explained that Longmeadow has done well educating students with special needs in-district, but the programs are based on specific populations and if the town were to have to start sending students out of district, it could cost $60,000 to $240,000 per student.
Kline argued the town already allows homeowners to rent out rooms and since that practice is already legal, he didn't see how a bylaw allowing for a privacy barrier would create a huge influx of new students in the schools.
Colton also said that because of changes in neighborhood density, values of surrounding houses could be lowered and there are no restrictions regarding the size of the lot upon which an addition could be built.
Addressing the requirement that the homeowner live on the premises, he pointed out that many residents go away for long periods of time, leaving no supervision over the property.
Resident Dan Lyanaugh said he "couldn't think of a sillier waste of time than this bylaw," pointing to enforcement as a primary concern and stating that even if a permit application to build an apartment is denied by the building commissioner, it could still be allowed by the Zoning Board of Appeals with a variance.
"They way you're making it is so I have to police my neighbors," he said.
He added having apartments available in town would allow those from other towns and cities to "cherry-pick" educational opportunities in Longmeadow.
Resident Jane Newman also spoke against the bylaw, arguing that it would "urbanize" the town.
"This is a very serious situation. You are urbanizing a community that is not an urban community. It is not Northampton; it is not Amherst. It's more like a Weston. They don't break up their homes in Weston," she said. "Our taxes are just as high and it's a privilege to live here. When you live in Longmeadow, there comes the responsibility to maintain your property and keeping your home a single family dwelling."
Newman voiced distrust in residents' willingness to be honest about their utilization of accessory dwellings.
"You're not going to be able to control the environment. You're going to have people say that they are related when they're not," she said. "I think that you have an idealized idea of a Longmeadow resident as upstanding and never going to take advantage of a situation like this and they will."
Supporting her argument, Newman pointed to a situation with her neighbor, who she accused of having two illegal apartments in her home, stating police presence was constantly necessary and the homeowner was not there to maintain the property for long portions of the year.
"The whole impact was so unpleasant that if you wanted to sell your house, you couldn't because the police were there all the time," she said.
Select Board Chair Marie Angelides said, in addition to stipulations within the bylaw, new regulations would have to be established and enforced.
