Ringside Observer: March 2007
[Mar. 4, 2008] MO’ MAURO: People have lost count and so has he as to how many times he has run for elected office in Kingston. Whatever the number, and it is of epic proportions, Mauro Mazzilli is back, having pulled papers for a two year seat on the Board of Selectmen. Our guess is that the number is about 14. That would include runs for Selectmen, Sewer Commission and Board of Health. The likeable fellow seems to enjoy the campaigning and certainly manages to add comic relief to a process that often already has enough.

Ringside Observer: January 2008
[Jan. 29, 2008] KINGSTON’S FUTURE is very much in the hands of Plymouth. Those rocks you see are the dividing line of the two towns at the end of William C. Gould Way. If you want to gander at it firsthand, just go past Lowe’s until you can’t go any further, that would put you at those rocks looking ahead to what life will be like when all the sand becomes a giant commercial enterprise with all the traffic that Plymouth’s plans will create…for Kingston. If you missed it, plans call for three car dealerships and a 100+ room hotel. It’s nice of Kingston to help out our neighbor to the South. At one time we were a part of Plymouth; we may very well be seeing history repeating itself.

Ringside Observer: October 2007
[Oct. 30, 2007] HOUSING COUNT: Once again TKO gives you the bad news relative to the current count on what’s on the market in Kingston. The magic number is 196, the same as last month. Not much is moving folks. There are 130 single family houses for sale within our fair town but the surprise is that 13 are within Indian Pond Estates and 8 of that 13 are on Country Club Way. We’re going to be watching that area closely where the average asking price is $1.35 million. Our guess is that you will be seeing lots of movement within the IPE area since it could be the hardest to move. With a mammoth housing development planned next to it, the thought of leaving will become more logical.

Ringside Observer - September 2007
[Sep. 28, 2007] I’M HIDING: Can someone explain to us how 40-R developer Geisinger hands us a "Home Rule" petition for Town Meeting concerning his sub-division and nowhere is he or his sub-division mentioned? It is an insult to have and outside developer, with a $330 million project on the line, writing a warrant article for the Town to be the sponsor.

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. He most recently ran for Selectman. Mauro had many friends and had a kind heart. We will miss him terribly and find it difficult to believe he is gone. 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.

Randall Prevails on Recount
[May 14, 2008] After a 30 minute instructional period and less then two hours of counting, Selectman Dennis Randall can finally feel better about continuing in the position. The re-count showed no change in his three vote victory over ZBA Chairman John Haas, 386-383. Not a single ballot was ever challenged during the process. Randall was gracious in after the process as was Haas.

Shangri-La Restaurant, Tastes of India & Nepal
[Apr. 16, 2008] We have always enjoyed Indian Cuisine and was delighted to see Shangri-La Restaurant open right in the downtown of Plymouth. The fare is primarily Indian with a pleasant mix of Nepalese dishes.
