Okay, Everyone, calm down. If you’ve been paying attention at all, you knew it would happen here soon. Fairhaven is a shelter community. The state has booked rooms at the Seaport Inn for migrants who have been transported here from southern states. In Mass., we take care of them. We don’t throw them into the streets…well, at least not right away, I guess. I’ll be doing some follow-up reporting on this to be sure.
Meanwhile, see page 4 for details.
I’m happy to say that most of the chatter I saw revolved around how to help these poor families. A few brought out the proverbial pitchforks and torches, of course, but they were shut down pretty quickly.
There’s a rally to show support for the families on Saturday. Let’s hope the hateful ones stay home or, at least, are very, very, very outnumbered.
There’s other stuff in here, of course: Grange Fair (yes, we still have those, see page 12); a Ghost Bike dedication (see page 13); and details on the Manjiro Festival on Saturday (see page 3).
The Manjiro Festival alternates each year between us and Japan, so make sure you get to this fun event. It won’t be back for a bit.
