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]

By Beth David, Editor The pettiness continues. Not only did Mr. Freitas tell me I had to pick my spot in the room and stay put, making it impossible to get the good pictures of candidates address­ing the board, he also would not let them in the room to hear the results. That’s not fair…. [Read More]

Textbooks cost too much The costs of textbooks are out­rageously high. No matter if classes are in-person or online, students like myself are struggling to afford the resource materials we need to get our degrees. It’s nonsense to me that an institution like college, which many of us need in order to pursue our professional… [Read More]

Chair has abandoned Selectboard I’m looking on the town’s website for the agenda for the next Select­board meeting, and I don’t find one. At all. We have no legitimate Town Administrator, and no plan to fix that. At all. Most of you should know who is responsible for setting Selectboard agendas: Chairman [Daniel] Freitas. By… [Read More]

He failed to even bother to show up to the last Selectboard meeting and is refusing… [Read More]

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]

Keep incumbents on School Committee This past year has been unlike any other that we have experienced in our lives. Not many people can say they have lived through events like these. Navigating education policy, law, budgets, and other issues is difficult during regular times. COVID-19 has made the job 1000x’s harder. As a school… [Read More]

Ahhh spring, town election AHHHH, there’s nothing like Spring in Fairhaven. Chirping birds making their nests and crocuses forcing themselves through the lingering snow and the time change that allows us to have daylight beyond 5:30 p.m. For me, my absolute favorite Spring tradition is TOWN ELECTION. This year it is the Monday after Easter,… [Read More]
