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 Fairhaven’s relatively new flag policy was rescinded.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]

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]

Project is Too Large  Presently before the Planning Board is a proposal for a special permit to build a 12-unit apartment complex at 347-355 Huttleston Ave, consisting of four, two-story buildings with three units per building called Lewis Landing. This vacant lot was previously wetland, which was filled in during the late sixties/early seventies. The… [Read More]

Powers has History of Commitment I strongly endorse my friend Stasia Powers for the position of Fairhaven Select Board. I have known Stasia for over ten years and during that time she displayed dedication and stead­fast devotion to the many community projects she undertook. She had served as PTO President of the Rogers School, had… [Read More]
