Coming soon to your door Dear Fairhaven Citizens, A recall petition of Board of Selectmen, Chairman Dan Freitas, is underway. It will be a massive undertaking to get over 2,400 signatures (20% of registered voters in Fairhaven) in 14 consecutive days once the town clerk starts the clock. Should this effort succeed in getting enough… [Read More]

I hope this letter finds its way to the correct person. This week while walking with my mother-in-law at Fort Phoenix, she fell down. As I was trying to sit her up and see what happened, I heard a voice call, “Do you need any help?” and then right there, a lovely retired nurse appeared…. [Read More]

Oh, no, it was all a mixup. Well, no, that’s a good thing. It was just such a good laugh… Anyway, last week I told you about a rumor that we are shutting down..we are NOT. Turns out it’s one of the other weeklies, one of the real estate books that is no longer publishing… [Read More]

Enough is enough Enough is Enough with this Selectboard Chairman. Yet another week has gone by and Mr. Freitas’s corrupt and incompetent behavior has been lowered to the level of outright negligence of his duty as a Selectboard chair. He failed to even bother to show up to the last Selectboard meeting and is refusing… [Read More]

Collasius has tree knowledge I feel it is important to support Don Collasius for Tree Warden. He is very knowledgeable about trees, but he also understands the importance of respond­ing to problems as they arise and before they become critical. Having spoken with him on various occasions, I am convinced that, if elected, he will… [Read More]
