On June 11 I will be voting for Valentine Sheldon for Falmouth Town Council. Valentine, and more like him, is who we need on the town council. Valentine has strong moral character, ethics, common sense and believes in political transparency. He believes in the town of Falmouth. I have not been impressed or pleased with […]

It’s been 43 years since I moved to Falmouth as a young adult. Staying here, in the home we love, is increasingly important to my elderly husband and me as we age. Only one candidate has recognized the plight of seniors like us. Only one candidate for Town Council has clearly told us where he […]

I have been a resident of Falmouth for over 22 years and have interacted with the Town Council and staff on many occasions. In that time I have observed how volunteers work hard to make a difference in our town and how our leaders directly influence the myriad of issues which make Falmouth a desirable […]

Draper flicks his Zippo lighter to life with a little flair of his thumb, enabling him to open and spin the wheel with barely a pause between, passing the flame like a gentle kiss to the end of the Lucky Strike held from his lips like the yardarm on a rich client’s yacht. When he […]

From protecting same-day voter registration to implementing common-sense reforms like ranked-choice voting, we continue to demonstrate to the rest of the country “the way democracy should be.” As evidence, we have one of the highest rates of voter turnout in […]

In addition, with her experience […]

I don’t eat yogurt. I’m not a soccer fan. I’ve never seen an episode of “Game of Thrones.” I don’t feel excluded from the cabals that revel in these fads, because I’m comfortable with my decisions not to eat disgusting slop, waste hours on a sport where no one scores, or engage with weirdos obsessed […]

Another Memorial Day is upon us, and between the burgers and backyard games, it’s fitting to take a moment to remember what the day marks. While Veterans Day in November honors all members of the Armed Forces, Memorial Day specifically remembers those who died in service of our country. More specifically, it honors those killed […]

On a Friday hike in the Berkshires, 7-year-old Lawson and I hop logs and dodge mud. She names the trail we walk “the eyeball path. It’s round and big. See how my eyeballs go down on the bottom and then up around, like this path?” We take her picture so I can show her parents […]

Please support Janice de Lima for Falmouth Town Council. Janice attends my church at Holy Martyrs and I have come to know her as an intelligent and respectful individual who is welcoming to all. She has engaged with many seniors in Falmouth to understand how best to help them age in place and live with […]
