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.

Oh geez. Here we go again. At the Select Board meeting Mr. Silvia did not leave the room for the Town Administrator discus­sion. Instead, he mumbled some­thing about a different conflict of interest.

While I do realize there is an upcoming recall vote, I do understand Town Meeting voted to expand our existing Select Board members to five. I will say we do have a group of good people interested in serving in this capacity. I would like to recom­mend Cam Durant for a position on the board…. [Read More]

As the Chair of the Fairhaven School Committee (SC), I have stayed out of the recall. I felt it was inappropriate given my role. Unfortunately, due to the climate in town, I feel I have no choice but to say something.  Fairhaven taxpayers may agree or disagree with how the SC expends funds. MGL Chapter… [Read More]

In my 87 years, I never thought I would get the opportunity to write a letter of support for my grandson, “the candidate.” I have enjoyed being involved in many aspects of the Town, as a past President of the West Island Improvement Association, Recording Secretary of the Fairhaven Improvement Association, and a proud Red… [Read More]

Not a Done Deal – Yet  Voting Mr. Freitas out of office on July 26 will clear a path for one of the three worthy candidates and return civility and reason to Fairhaven government.
