VETERANS DAY NEXT WEEK
The Acushnet Veterans Parade is Saturday, 11/7 (see page 7); and Fairhaven’s parade is on Veterans Day, Wednesday, 11/11 (see page 5)
Please line the route, go to the end, show support for veterans. We are in a war, service members have died. We need to show support for our military.
And, besides, parades are fun.
And…it’s probably going to rain a little for the Acushnet parade. That’s so expected lately, right? You get to show support for the military and show how tough you are, too.
Now, we had an election this week (see page 3 for local/state results). Dare I say…
HOLY F’G MOLY! Texas flipped. Only the Big Buffoon could do that, truly. What a monumental f’up you have to be to flip Texas and South Carolina in one night. Even Mississippi is a tossup at press time. Florida, however, is hopeless.
A little closer to home…
Maine: Susan Collins and her phony “concern,” GONE.
NH: May we never have to hear the name “Sununu” again.
Meanwhile, here at home…
We had three Fairhaven people on the ballot and one Acushnet person.
Fairhaven’s Bob McConnell did not succeed in unseating long time Senator, Mark Montigny.
For state representative, in the 10th Bristol district, Mark Sylvia fended off a challenge from Brendallee Smith, both of Fairhaven.
For state representative in the 8th Bristol, Acushnet resident Jesse St. Gelais is giving incumbent Steve Ouellette a run for his money. I’m writing this in anticipation of being able to upload as soon as I get the result. But…I may have to upload before we actually know. That’s how close it is. Yup. Time is up and that race has not been called because only 19% of the results were in.
See page 3 for all the races and results of the ballot questions.
Okay, okay…I admit. A little light on other news this week. I admit, I got caught up in election stuff and something had to give. Alas….enjoy the fluff stuff this week, okay?
There’s still lots of good stuff in here, though. Thumb through to find it all, and while you do that, be sure to notice who our advertisers are so you can tell them you saw their ads in the Neighb News.
Until next week… see ya,
Glory to Ukraine!
Glory to the Heroes!
