Okay, where do I begin? This is one of those editorials I should’ve written months ago. I started it, and then deleted it. Note to self: DO NOT DELETE, DO NOT DELETE. Alas, I’ll start over. The whole thing started with the Carter trial, and because we won an award for the pool photo Glenn… [Read More]

Reader disagrees with marijuana depiction Occam’s Razor — the theory that the simplest explanation or fewest assumptions should be selected among competing explanations and assumptions when making a decision. Occam’s came to mind after I read an essay for the many and varied reasons on page 10 of the February 15 issue of the Fairhaven Neighborhood… [Read More]

More sad news this week in our little town. A six-year-old Fairhaven girl died this weekend, and the Wood School community, the whole town, really, is reeling as we try to comprehend the unimagin­able sorrow her parents, sister, and other family members are feeling.

Hands Across the River Coali­tion, Inc. initiated and organized the GPR project at Cooke Memorial Park. There were a number of Fairhaven residents that contributed to this… [Read More]

By Beth David, Editor Oh, where do I begin? You remember last week’s article on the Board of Public Works needing to rescind the vote for the Water Superin­tendent, right? Well, they did it (see page 3), and no one changed his vote, so the same guy got the job. Simple, right? Nah! You also… [Read More]

Our cover story is the New Bedford march this weekend. I know, I kind of overdid it with the detail, but…hey, it’s winter. We’ve got pages to fill, and Glenn took such great pictures. Plus, it was fun. If I could’ve transcribed the whole thing, with every word every speaker said, I would have. But,… [Read More]

It’s great to see the beautiful Navigator docked in Fairhaven where it belongs. It looks great where it is, with three new poles to hold it secure, and I hope the setup is permanent. We should be proud to have a maritime institute in town and do all we can to support it. I only… [Read More]
