Ouch! That storm was a doozy (see page 12). Last week we lost power and it messed up our schedule getting the paper out, but we managed it.  This week, we have some great pictures of the damage that little no-namer did. A few boats at the marina got loose from the docks and ended… [Read More]

Vaping is Dangerous to Teens The start of the school year and new routines brings new worries about teen vaping. These concerns are important, especially now, because smoking and vaping may put people at higher risk of complications from COVID-19. One in three Massachusetts teens vape and talking with young people about the dangers of vaping… [Read More]

Well, this is fun.  Power went out in the middle of the night. Of course, I wasn’t done with this baby yet.  Did a few things on the laptop, but not enough to make a difference. So, paper is getting to the printer pretty late this week. We should still have them to you on… [Read More]

By Editor Beth David Well, the boil water order is still in effect (see page 5). A trace amount of bacteria, not even e. Coli, showed up in a couple of samples, so the state won’t life the order. Alas… continue to boil or buy. Hopefully it will be lifted in a day or two…. [Read More]

So, I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. The Rogers School Re Use Commit­tee is in love with that building. I’m trying, really I am, and maybe it’s the time of year, but all I see is a spooky old building that would be great for a horror film.  Now…that basement…oh… [Read More]

By Beth David, Editor Lots of good stuff in here this week (as always, right?). Select Board had some entertaining moments (see page 4), but I kind of glossed over a bit of it because we just didn’t have the space this week.  The police department gave awards to two members and we gave that… [Read More]
