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.

Wednesday, October 14, 2015 — Issue 327

With presidential and gubernatorial electioneering pushing the election calendar up this year, some might forget that legislative candidates put themselves before voters only last summer.
