Sorry, no fun little rants this week. I’m simply too tired to engage with these people who have no idea what democracy is. It’s messy, it’s cumbersome, but that’s because it’s sup­posed to include people, regular people. And that means you can’t just go off and do what you want, even if you did find… [Read More]

By Beth David, Editor What is it with these people? Everyone needs a babysitter. The new Tree Warden took down 63 trees without any public hearings, no posting on the trees….nuthin’. He says it’s legal because he had Eversource do it.  I think not. Really, guy, this isn’t why you were elected.  Now, if you… [Read More]

Hats off to tree warden I would like to say “hats off to our new Tree Warden,” Don Collasius! He has been very good taking down old rotten trees. You can see the center after they are cut, how rotten they are! And he is diligent, planting new trees. Our town is certainly lucky to… [Read More]

By Beth David, Editor Well, the events are starting to pick up again. This weekend we had the annual OLOA feast. People clearly were anxious to get back to some good old-fashioned partying. See pages 12 & 13 for story and pics. Hurricane Ida sure beat the pants of Henri, huh? (See page 4). We… [Read More]

Okay, a fun weekend coming up. The stormin’ from the latest hurricane should be gone by the time the Biggest Little Feast gets underway. OLOA is holding a Festa! (See page 3).  Get ready for the best malassadas of your life. No, really, they’re that good. You’ll have to wait in line for a long… [Read More]

I just wanted to express my gratitude that after all the hype about hurricane Henri, it looks like our town suffered no serious tree damage from the storm.  I don’t know if my thanks go to the new tree warden, Eversource power company, the BPW, or all of the above. I did notice that a… [Read More]

President Biden together with his cabinet and military leaders are rapidly destroying America’s respect and preeminence in the world. I can guarantee you our standing is at its lowest point in history. This debacle in Afghanistan would never have happened if Donald Trump was still in power. He had plans worked out together with Mike… [Read More]

By Beth David, Editor Oh no, say it ain’t so! The school bus ad is in this week (see page 16). That means, gulp, the kids are going back to school. That means summer is, essentially, over? NOOOOO! Ah well. At least Henri fizzled (see page 12). Wow, it was looking dire there for awhile,… [Read More]

By Beth David, Editor Oh no, is summer really almost gone? School starts in just a couple of weeks.  At least we have some fun events to report on, and to give you the heads up on, too. Our cover story is one of my very favorite events to cover, the annual Teddy Bear parade…. [Read More]

By Beth David, Editor I think the problem is that some people don’t really want a real newspaper. They prattle on and on about objectivity and gossip and fake news. But what they are really complaining about is that we are reporting on stuff they don’t want us to reveal.  Blaming the messenger, again.  Most… [Read More]
