The Week – Dec. 2 The Year – 2002
Winter Has arrived …
Indeed the blast of cold air and the swirling snow of the past week have awakened us to the reality of winter. As hot as it was in July, it is now at the other end of the temperature scale.
Keep the shovels handy; make sure your gloves are at the ready. We are facing two or more months of this frigid weather.
The Board of Selectmen
As reported, there will be a special election in February to elect an individual to fill the unexpired term of the late John Hill.
The board voted recently to hold the election. Now, we wait to hear the actual date and the timing for candidates to take out nomination papers and begin the campaign.
Some have argued that the election is not necessary. That is, we should just wait for a few months and fill the vacancy at the annual election in June.
Others argue that there needs to be a full board membership for complete discussion of the issues and to ensure quorums and legal votes on certain topics.
Candidates will be stepping forward shortly.
Participate in this process by thinking carefully about the profile of a selectman you feel best fits the needs of our town.
Holiday shopping..
With Thanksgiving coming so late in November, the shopping season for customers and retail store is shortened by a week.
The nasty weather might play a role in the shopping rhythms for many.
Please avoid the last minute rush and stress.
Enjoy the end of the year and be safe.
