Fairhaven Can Choose a Woman for Select Board The Fairhaven Historical Society has put together a display this summer entitled “Fairhaven Women who Made History.” I think it is wonderful to recognize and honor these women, some of whom were Suffragists and played a very important role in allowing all women to vote.  In Fairhaven… [Read More]

Reset Refresh As we push the reset button on town government, we have the oppor­tu­nity to elect someone to the Fairhaven Select Board who will bring fresh thinking to the issues we face as a town. Leon Correy is someone you might want to get to know more about.  As the “NKOTB” Leon Correy is… [Read More]

Well, that didn’t last long. Fairhaven’s relatively new flag policy was rescinded. Mr. Freitas got his little feelings hurted on Facebook. Mr. Bueno was mean to him. Sniff sniff.  See page 4 for the Select Board story from this week. In response to the board’s refusal to fly the Pride flag, residents are holding an… [Read More]

Lewis Landing development is too big The proposal before the Fairhaven Planning Board to put four three-unit condominiums with their required 28 parking places is a bad project for the site, the neighborhood, Route 6, and the town.  For over two years, since town meeting in May of 2018 voted to change the zoning to… [Read More]

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 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]

Bueno Supports Powers My friends, I am blessed beyond belief to consider myself a Fairhaven townie. We live in a beautiful community filled with rich history, beautiful scenery, and amazing, compassionate, neighbors. In this past election, I wrote a letter supporting my friend Bob Espindola for another term on the Select Board and I am… [Read More]
