He cited a situation in Bloomfield when open space designated in a development 30 years ago was now being sold off and built on. Its the most permanent way to make sure land stays as open space, Smith told the council. . But city officials didnt see the necessity of the designation.

Rehm, professor of psychology at the University of Houston. However, because they come at a stereotypically joyful time of year, many people mistake these moods for serious depression. The first step in coping with these emotions is understanding what causes them. "Loneliness is a major factor, particularly if someone has recently experienced the death of a friend or relative," said Dr, Richard Hedrosian, a Massachusetts psychologist.

Cuy officials credit the large crowds to it being an attraction both unique and religiously neutral, that can take anywhere from 30 minutes to walk through or a few minutes to dnve through.

"W e look at where we are," said n' City Manager Alex Jensen strongly advised the council to reject the proposal. He said the open space is already required under the PRUD designation and therefor protected from future development already. T think its a terrible idea, Jensen said. "To take open spaces already designated in the condition of the development, and then grant an easement, makes it appear as a donation, when its not. The council voted not to accept the conservation easement but agreed to study the issue of using such a designation in future developments.
