These concerns are important, especially now, because smoking and vaping may put people at higher risk of complications from COVID-19. One in three Massachusetts teens vape and talking with young people about the dangers of vaping… [Read More]

Well, this is fun.  Power went out in the middle of the night. Of course, I wasn’t done with this baby yet.  Did a few things on the laptop, but not enough to make a difference. So, paper is getting to the printer pretty late this week. We should still have them to you on… [Read More]

By Editor Beth David Well, the boil water order is still in effect (see page 5). A trace amount of bacteria, not even e. Coli, showed up in a couple of samples, so the state won’t life the order. Alas… continue to boil or buy. Hopefully it will be lifted in a day or two…. [Read More]

We’ve got another boil water order. Yup, this is a new one. Hopefully, it’ll be over on Friday. Meanwhile, boil the water or get bottled water. See page 3 for details. Okay, LISTEN UP!  We need Halloween yards. NO ONE contacted us… okay, one person did but I haven’t called him back yet. I know… [Read More]

So, I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. The Rogers School Re Use Commit­tee is in love with that building. I’m trying, really I am, and maybe it’s the time of year, but all I see is a spooky old building that would be great for a horror film.  Now…that basement…oh… [Read More]

By Beth David, Editor Lots of good stuff in here this week (as always, right?). Select Board had some entertaining moments (see page 4), but I kind of glossed over a bit of it because we just didn’t have the space this week.  The police department gave awards to two members and we gave that… [Read More]

Sorry, no fun little rants this week. I’m simply too tired to engage with these people who have no idea what democracy is. It’s messy, it’s cumbersome, but that’s because it’s sup­posed to include people, regular people. And that means you can’t just go off and do what you want, even if you did find… [Read More]

By Beth David, Editor What is it with these people? Everyone needs a babysitter. The new Tree Warden took down 63 trees without any public hearings, no posting on the trees….nuthin’. He says it’s legal because he had Eversource do it.  I think not. Really, guy, this isn’t why you were elected.  Now, if you… [Read More]
