What’s in a Name? My wife and I belong to our town-sponsored fitness center. Several years ago, there was a friendly older gentleman named Ray who also attended. If he was there when we went, he’d always be smiling from ear to ear; and when he wasn’t exercising on one of the pieces of equipment,… [Read More]

Local GOP Meeting Was Respectful After reading Mr. Grossman’s letter and your published reaction to it, I accepted the Fairhaven GOP invitation to their Sept. 16 meeting. It was nothing if not respectful! It did start with a prayer and Pledge of Allegiance, and if anyone were to find it objectionable, they needn’t have accepted… [Read More]

By Beth David, Editor Ugh…ICE in Fairhaven (page 11). How f’g gross to see those masked thugs roaming our town to take  away hard work­ing people.

It was wrong when it was liberal lawmakers who were killed in  Minne­sota in June. It is wrong now, when it is a conservative.  I do not care about what anyone’s politics are…. [Read More]

Our Ultimate Handicap My intention in this short note is for us to learn and growcin asking the following sensitive question: What do you think about when someone says the word “handicap”? Many may react with thoughts of blindness, deaf­ness, or some crippling condition. That was my reaction until I met a job-coach specialist for disabled… [Read More]

By Beth David, Editor WHO you gonna call?  This special know-your-town issue is something I used to do about once a year. I stopped a long time ago, but thought now was a good time to run another one.  It’s good to see who is on the boards of the two towns. Both Acushnet and… [Read More]
