Letters: Revere Bell should stay in North Fairhaven

February 10, 2021 by Staff Writer

Dear North Fairhavenites I feel like a victim of theft after reading an article in the 1/21/21 issue of the Standard-Times regarding our Paul Revere bell. Is it just me or do you feel the same? From the time that the bell was removed from the Oxford School, I had the feeling that we in North… [Read More]

Well, that snowstorm fizzled for us, but it was a doozy for anyone not on the coast. We had some pretty respectable wind and wind gusts, too. Trash day got pushed out one day, so everyone had their bins out. They got knocked over, covers got blown open, stuff was flying everywhere. But, we didn’t… [Read More]

Letter: Bird seed and dog poop

January 27, 2021 by Staff Writer

Bird seed and dog poop can attract rats For all the bird and animal (dog) lovers, a word of caution. Feeding the birds and not picking up (in a timely manner) after your dogs can bringt RATS. Lots of them! Years ago, as painful as it was, I stopped feeding the birds, and just lately… [Read More]

The inauguration of Joe Biden as president and Kamala Harris as VP is less than a day away as I write this. I just wrote a whole lot of stuff about the election and lies and the power of one man to con thousands in one fell swoop.  But then I deleted it all. All… [Read More]

Letter: New Year, New Idea 2

January 20, 2021 by Staff Writer

New Year, New Idea: Part 2 I am a firm believer in keeping the public as informed as possible. Except for sensitive material (security, per­son­nel based), I think the public has a right and a need to know what its local government knows.  Sharing information takes many forms. In the community in which I work,… [Read More]

Letters: Rogers School Proposal Massive

January 20, 2021 by Staff Writer

Rogers School Proposal Too Massive This letter was sent to the Fairhaven Selectboard The proposal for the Rogers School property is far too massive for that residential area. This is not an urban area and should not be treated as such.  This is a historical area and needs to be on the National Register of Historic… [Read More]

January 13, 2021 by Staff Writer

By Beth David, Editor It’s been a very sad few days for our country. Our own presi­dent sent an angry mob to the Capitol building in Washing­ton DC to try to stop legislators from certifying the Electoral College votes, generally a routine event, pumped up with a little flourish here and there. Trump supporters are… [Read More]

Letter: Town should pick seasoned interim TA

January 13, 2021 by Staff Writer

Town should pick seasoned person for interim TA With Mark Rees retiring, his salary became available and, with COVID-19 presenting unique challenges (large draw on free cash) I do feel we need to proceed with caution. Critical capital planning recommendations are ahead of us (which the TA has ultimate responsibility for making) and I felt… [Read More]

Letter: Leave things better

January 13, 2021 by Staff Writer

Leave things better than they were This week felt like I was caught watching one of those Gerard Butler Olympus/London/Etc is Burning movies. Americans decided that because they didn’t get the election result they wanted, that they would attack the government in the most epic temper tantrum ever. In the fashion we have seen time… [Read More]
