Powers is Logical Choice As a lifelong resident of Fairhaven I have seen many elected members of the Fairhaven School Committee, including myself, come and go over the past 50 years, but in my estimation Stasia Powers stands out as a natural leader and a dedicated community activist.  Her service on the Fairhaven School Committee… [Read More]

Powers is Logical, Open Minded I first got to know Stasia Powers as a fellow member of the “Yes Group.”  This group was formed out of a grassroots effort to inform the public about the need for a new Elementary School in Fairhaven.   During our tenure on the “Yes Group” I found Stasia to be… [Read More]

Powers is Inspiration I’m writing today in support of Stasia Powers for Selectboard. Stasia has been a friend and inspiration for 11 years. She is a person of the utmost integrity. She puts in the time, does her homework and is unafraid of taking a leadership role because she cares so deeply about Fairhaven. Stasia… [Read More]

ZOOM OVER!! Well, unless you want it not to be. The remote participation idea is fabulous, makes it easier for people to join in, weigh in, and tune in. But the Zoom-only require­ment got old fast. I don’t know about other towns, but here in Fairhaven the Zoom option was abused by both the Select… [Read More]

Pride Month is Official I am dismayed to discover that Fairhaven Town Hall does not automatically hang the rainbow banner over the entryway for Pride Month. Not only is Pride Month officially designated by the Common­wealth, hanging the banner sends a clear message of inclusivity to all who enter. Silly me to assume that because… [Read More]

This vacant lot was previously wetland, which was filled in during the late sixties/early seventies. The… [Read More]

Powers has History of Commitment I strongly endorse my friend Stasia Powers for the position of Fairhaven Select Board. I have known Stasia for over ten years and during that time she displayed dedication and stead­fast devotion to the many community projects she undertook. She had served as PTO President of the Rogers School, had… [Read More]

Wow. It’s a been a whole year. A whole COVID-crazy year since the last graduation. This is our special gradua­tion issue. Thanks to the school, we are able to publish all the senior pictures and their class picture (see page 18 to get started). We have lots of pictures this year. We didn’t publish all… [Read More]

Hopefully, this will be the last video-in-lieu-of-a-parade that we will have in our lifetimes (see page 12). The Fairhaven TV people did a good job, though, putting together a presentation. They pulled some video from 2006. That was the first parade we covered. No one knew who I was or what the Neighb News was…. [Read More]
