This past weekend was quite interesting with the thundershower that rolled through Sunday afternoon. The wind was quite strong and the power went out a little after 4:30 p.m. and did not come back on until around 10:30 a.m. on Monday.

Before we can move forward on our new town office beside the Legion Hall, we have to draw up a contract with the Jackson-Silver Legion. The Selectmen met with the Legion officers Tuesday (too late for this column) to begin going over an agreement. More to come. Nick Bartlett, co-owner of T... xx -

I was happy to see the sun come out in time for the Memorial Day Parades. Hopefully we get to enjoy the sunshine for a while now. The rain sure had gotten to be too much. I heard that some folks will have to replant what they had already planted in their gardens. I want to apologize to the... xx
