The Week – Nov. 25

The Year – 2002

The Arrival of the Holiday Season

          From Washington to Lincoln to the current day, the celebration of Thanksgiving has been a continuous and longstanding tradition in our country.

Today, Thanksgiving is a holiday assigned to the fourth Thursday in November.

And, the next day begins the hectic holiday shopping interval that runs through the month of December.

Holiday lights and decorations and lights are appearing in homes and public buildings.

          Parking and More

The long awaited municipal parking lot off Glenwood Avenue is nearing completion.

A part of the project has been to improve the sidewalks and walking areas near the Fleet bank and the section of that road from Main Street to East Street.

In time for the holidays, shoppers should find more space to park and walk to their destination.

          Special Election

The board of selectmen voted last week to hold a special election to fill the vacancy caused by the untimely death of John Hill.

What now remains is to fix a date and to publicize the process so that candidates may circulate nomination papers to be on the ballot. The election will most likely be held in February.
