As former Falmouth town councilors, we are writing to endorse Teresa Pierce for re-election to the Falmouth Town Council. Over her last three years of service on the council, Teresa has been engaged, informed, attentive, respectful and balanced in her approach to competing interests. She has brought good decision-making to the council’s work in fostering […]

I’m writing to encourage Falmouth voters to elect Eydie Pryzant to our School Board. I say “our” board, because it’s thanks largely to Eydie’s leadership, hard work and staying power that the Falmouth School Department remains an independent district. When school consolidation became law, Eydie asked logical and skeptical questions that led her and many […]

We are writing to ask voters to support Teresa Pierce for re-election to the Town Council in the coming election.

For me, the referendum gets clearer by looking at the past. I was on the library’s capital campaign committee in 1993. We were charged with raising money for a significant […]

The beep-beep-beeping of construction vehicles, the noise from the equipment being used and from dumping of material is loud and unhealthy. The activity of removing or processing gravel materials is a dusty industrial operation, not one conducive to a residential neighborhood. The heavy dump-truck traffic related to this type of activity is a safety hazard […]

My wife and I moved to Falmouth a little over 45 years ago. We feel moving the library from its present location would be a mistake and a waste of money because the 1995 expansion was planned with future on-site expansion in mind. How do I know? I served two terms on the Board of […]
