Wednesday, February 19, 2014 — Issue 242

BELLOWS FALLS — Please allow me to introduce myself to your readers.

I am running for trustee of the Rockingham Free Public Library. I was born and raised in Bellows Falls and Gageville and attended parochial and high school here. I have worked for the Town of Rockingham since 1988, currently as town clerk and treasurer.

I am running for this office on a slate that includes physician Carol Blackwood, retired pastor David Gould, and lawyer Raymond Massucco. Together, our goal is to earn back the trust and confidence of area residents and employees of the library.

If elected, we promise to work hard and restore the good name of our library trustees.

We would appreciate your vote on March 4.

Drug laws shouldn’t stop at treatment

Wednesday, January 15, 2020 — Issue 544

I've been thinking a lot lately about how to make our state a better place. This has led me to pinpointing the things I consider very troubling. The first is the tendency of the Legislature to seemingly think that the northern half of the state should call the shots. Yes, there are more people and there is more money in that end of the state, but real lives of real, good people down in our neck of the woods are...
