By Beth David, Editor So, who’s popcorn worthy this week? Board of Health! Big time. You’d better make a double batch. Honestly, I don’t know where to begin, but I do believe that you should take the time to watch it, if not on TV, then online (at FairhavenTV.com). It’s a long meeting, but it goes… [Read More]
