Congratulations to everyone’s friend, Neal Maciel, who has just been promoted to head our state troopers. Neal is hardworking, efficient, caring and a great person. He’s one of our Island’s own. We couldn’t be happier.
The wet-dry vote was certainly a thing of interest and much media attention focused on our little town. Thanks to our town clerk, Marion, and all our counters and participants who worked so diligently last Friday. Our restaurant owners and the small town shops need to lure business here — as you know, they were the reason I supported a change. I wish them all the best and hope for a great season for them.
I was so disappointed when Amy Levine closed her fabulous store on Main street, It’s In the Bag. But how delighted I was to pass by today and see a young woman hard at work inside and a sign on the window: “Coming Soon! Island Music.” This will definitely be a welcome addition to our town.
The library parties, for kids and grownups, were simply fantastic last Wednesday night. Wednesday was also a very special day for the Rotarians who hold their lunch meeting weekly. The speaker was Warren Pettit, who presented a most interesting talk on his photography done by remote control helicopter. This is not an inexpensive hobby, but a very rewarding one. Now there’s a unique gift for one of your loved ones for Christmas!
Doesn’t the new hospital look great? I am still confused when I go in there, but it looks like the end is near. Wish I could say the same for the bridge.
Beautiful weather, and beautiful friends are visiting. Bill and Jan Stokes are here. Mareda Gaither-Graves is expecting to come up after she gives her concert in Russian in New York. My new baby, Teddy Paul Bruschi Kennedy Gardella, is adapting well to the dogs and enjoying the first autumn of his little feline life.
