Correy not quite ready to announce I would start by thanking the recall team for their efforts in mounting what was seemingly an insur­mount­able task. They did something that few thought they could do and for that the town owes them gratitude as that is a result of their passion for the town. I am… [Read More]

Tourism Office explains Facebook history posts I’m writing because it has come to my attention, indirectly, that there has been a complaint by a member of the community about my history posts in Facebook groups and on my personal page “Mr. History Person” and personal blog “http://Fairhaven History.blogspot.com.” This person’s claim is that those things… [Read More]

By Beth David, Editor Well, they called his bluff. A very determined, hard-working, smart group of people have most likely gathered the signatures necessary to force a recall of Fairhaven Selectboard chairper­son Daniel Freitas (see page 22).  Mr. Freitas wrote on Facebook that it was just a small group of people, and said he would… [Read More]

Fairhaven: you’ve been heard. Your decency, your civility and your respect for true leadership spoke loud and clear in successfully recalling a Selectboard member in Dan Freitas who had denigrated the office he held. Whether he resigns as he promised or not, you will soon be thankfully rid of his standing in the way of… [Read More]

How much simpler these conten­tious events might be if [Selectboard chair Daniel] Freitas, seeing that he is not suited nor able to function as an effective select person, would simply volunteer to step down from his current office. There is precedence amongst our political leaders. Granted circum­stances where a bit different, but take Richard Nixon… [Read More]

I write this before the signature count has been turned into the town clerk. Whatever the outcome of this effort the result is clear. Fairhaven has been tremendously damaged by [Selectboard chair] Dan Freitas’s tenure. He has embarrassed our town, shamed the Freitas family name, and created a personal legacy of bad judgements that will… [Read More]

By Editor Beth David We don’t lie in our paper. And I don’t lie in my editorial. That would be libel, Mr. Freitas. Please, feel free to sue us. Oh, did I mention there’s a recall effort afoot? Visit www.RecallDanFreitas.com One can only hope. Fairhaven is the only town in these parts that requires signatures… [Read More]

Volunteer for a committee This year has been an interesting one. People have been paying closer attention to Town Government than in years past and many of you have participated in public meetings, written letters to the editor of this newspaper, posted concerns on Facebook, etc. I would like to take this opportu­nity to remind… [Read More]

Think Again, Fairhaven For months now our beautiful town has been held captive by an abusive, lying and corrupt Selectboard chair Mr. Freitas and his silent conspirator Mr. Silvia. Now it’s clear that this whole town knows it, and now it’s time to fix it. If you think we can afford to wait, think again…. [Read More]

Residents have expressed thanks for recall effort Since the recall effort has started we have had so many people express gratitude for our efforts. One person thanked us for “taking back our town” and that really hit home to me. All of us who live here really do love the town and want a local… [Read More]
