By Beth David, Edit0r Oh no….the dog days of summer are seriously interfering with my brilliant journalism. And, to add insult to injury, the water flushing has been in the neighborhood.

From the Editor
By Beth David, Editor We’re BAACCKKK!!! And, oh, what fun we have for you this week (see page 3). Unfortunately, the hearing about Mr. Lavalette’s behavior while on the Conservation Commission is not quite over, so I’ll hold off commenting in this space until they’re done with the proceedings. Meanwhile, trust me when I say… [Read More]
Letter_Ellison wants to inflict pain
Ellison Wants to Inflict Pain I read Ms Ellison’s comments on the lifeguards at the Town beach (6/29/23 issue). First, they did not all quit, three are still working. Secondly, the failure of the Prop 2 1/2 override has nothing to do with paying the lifeguards. They are paid through the user fees paid by… [Read More]

By Beth David, Editor Okay, this is it! Our last issue for two weeks. We will return on 7/20. Oh, man, here we go again (page 4). Hear this: The town is not a business. A business is structured to make money, to take in more than it needs from their customers. The difference is… [Read More]

By Beth David, Editor Oh…I love it when graduation is outside and not in the squeezatorium. They took a chance, but it paid off. The wind was kind of fun, but the rain held off, just sprinkling a tad for good measure. See page 12 for our story on Fairhaven High School’s graduation and how… [Read More]

By Beth David, Editor Memorial Day is a somber reflection of the sacrfices made by those who serve in the military, and especially those who are no longer with us. It is also a holiday, though, so people can’t help having fun. Fairhaven held a serious ceremony at Riverside, but also had a fun parade… [Read More]
