The Observer has learned that Selectmen Joe Kelleher, elected last April for a second term, will resign from the seat effective one week prior to the April Annual Elections. By so doing, no Special Election will be needed. This means that there will be three Selectmen seats up for grabs this year. Selectmen Paul Gallagher and Sandy MacFarlane also expire this year.
We learned that Kelleher submitted his intent to resign on Friday at 3:00.

Mauro Mazzilli Passes Away[May 14, 2008] It is with a heavy heart that The Observer announces the death of Mauro Mazzilli, 65, of 13 Cedar Lane in Rocky Nook. EMT's were called to his home earlier this morning and he was pronounced dead at the Jordan Hospital. Mauro was a colorful man who loved the political process and being a part of it.

Our heart goes out to his wife Dotty, his children and his beloved grandchildren.
We will pass on more specific information after we speak with Dotty.
God Bless Mauro.

Ballfield Bait and Switch?[Apr. 17, 2008] No mention of athletic fields in engineering contract
Tell ‘em you’re building ball fields and then give ’em a road instead. The details of the ‘Baseball Landfill Reuse Contract’ have no mention of ball fields, sports, or recreational use. Such amenities are missing from the Weston & Sampson proposal. What is mentioned, in considerable detail is the intent to build a grand entrance to Thorndike’s dream village.
