John Gonsalves, founder of Homes for Our Troops said the theft of a generator, compressor and hammer drill was reported to the Middleboro police Friday morning. The equipment was being stored in a container at the building site. He is asking that the equipment be returned.
"It's the wrong thing to do anyway, but hopefully if someone hears what that project was all about, maybe they'll find it in their heart to return the equipment, "Gonsalves said.Because someone felt that taking a few thousand dollars worth of equipment was more important to them than what an injured soldier and his family might need put the building of this specially adapted home for Sgt. Damon and his family in jeopardy.????The entire project could have been brought to a standstill.
Homes For Our Troops, Inc. is building its first house for Sgt. Damon.
The three-bedroom ranch home, which will be specially equipped to meet Damon's needs, is the first the group is building, mostly with donations from all over the United states and around the globe.Work crews from the New England Regional Council of Carpenters have been using the equipment to provide power to the site until the electric system can be installed.
"We rented what we needed for today and tomorrow because the job would have been shut down otherwise, "Mr.
Gonsalves said Friday night.
"If somebody wants to return the items taken, there will be no questions asked."
Sgt. Damon, who was at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. has returned home for good, Gonsalves said, "and it has been nice having Damon down at the site to see the progress of his future home".Gonsalves plans to post a sign at the property notifying whoever stole the equipment they have stolen it from a project that is being built for a wounded veteran.Anyone with information regarding the theft is asked to call 508-823-3300.

Dog Doors
Dog doors, often referred to as doggie doors or pet doors, are miniature swinging doors that are installed in a door or wall. They allow your dog or cat to access the backyard without someone to let them in and out. A dog door helps your dog reach the outside world quicker. A dog door also solves the problem of scratched wooden doors or torn plastic screens.
There are many different sizes of dog doors.
They are available in all sizes and are designed for traditional wooden doors as well as sliding glass doors. There are some dog doors that have magnetic and electric doors which are triggered open by a key which hangs from your dog's collar.

A dog door can be installed by cutting a square hole through the...

at ease performing in a variety of genres. To
underline this versatility, Swingthing recently had the pleasure of performing for Camilla Dallerup and Ian Waite in a ballroom dancing weekend held at the Lodore Falls hotel on the shore of Lake Derwentwater near Keswick.
A prominent feature of "Swingthing" is the fabulous voice of Ronnie Walker who styles himself on Frank Sinatra. Ronnie has been on the circuit for many years and has performed in venues all over the country. He is not limited to one particular style , however, and is perfectly at home with rock n roll and other dance music.
He is ably accompanied by Brian Melville -keys.
Brian has been a musician for many years and has performed in a...
