Newsbreak for Walpole

The Week – Mar. 15

The Year – 2004

Snow and Sports

       The calendar may suggest that spring is a few days away. But, as the snow begins to fall, we know that our snow shovels and gloves and scrapers need to be ready for use.

Indeed, as we look ahead to opening day and the start of the baseball season, our winter refuses to slide gracefully away.

Snow is on the agenda for this week and who knows how long.

Walpole Sports and More…

Capturing the division 2 state title for the sixth time, the Walpole girls basketball team combined with the boys basketball team to bring a little hysteria to the town on Sunday night, returning from the Fleet center with the two state titles.

It looks as if the signs on the common across from the Post office will have to be enlarged to accommodate two more title wins from this years spring sports.

Congratulations to the two teams and their coaches and supporters.

Certainly, the success of the two teams should continue the long tradition of high achievement in youth sports in this town.

Town Politics

With all the weather concerns and the sports issues, town politics has yet to warm up. Our annual town election will be held on the first Saturday in June.

Folks are gathering signatures to have their name on the ballot for town wide offices or RTM’s.

Be a participant in the process of town government. The spring town meeting in May will analyze and consider and vote on the budget for the year.

Let your RTM know your position for a full and active debate.
