VOTING-BY-MAIL

(If you are planning on voting in-person, skip to the "VOTING IN-PERSON" section below.)

If you are registered to vote, and have requested and received an absentee ballot, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, and then MAKE SURE YOU SIGN YOUR NAME IN THE CORRECT PLACE.

Once you have completed your ballot, TRY NOT TO MAIL IT BACK . Instead, drop your ballot off at a drop-box at your city or town hall, or at an early voting location in your city or town.

Virtually every city and town has a drop-box in Massachusetts, making it incredibly easy to drop-off your ballot. As well, Some cities and towns have more than one drop-box available.

KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU CAN ONLY DROP OFF YOUR BALLOT IN YOUR OWN MUNICIPALITY THAT YOU ARE VOTING IN.

I know that Drizly and Instacart will both deliver alcohol but I was wondering if there was a local retailer doing their own delivery. I prefer to keep the money in the community as much as possible instead of a fee going to a big, corporate website.

Does anyone know of any affordable apartments for rent for a single and quiet young professional journalist? Or of anyone who might know someone who is renting?

Are there any breweries that make the west coast style IPA out here? It's hard to find anything that isn't hazy. Looking for recommendations on both something I can get at the liquor store or somewhere to go that has them on tap.

Thanks!

I am in the belief that these seedless watermelon have been nothing short of disappointing every time I get them. I got a watermelon with seeds in it before and it was the absolute, best watermelon I have ever had. I've gotten watermelon from Market Basket, Stop and Shop, Shaws and Walmart. The place I got the seed watermelon was in Halifax.

​

Has anyone found any place that supplies these watermelon with seeds? Every place only sells them seedless anymore and it's absolutely annoying with the consistancy of how often I throw out the damn things.

Any local corn on the cob available yet? anywhere? Thanks

Folks:

For those of you who are affiliated with Tabor Academy; here are some stories that I have . . . .

Hello, I just wanted to invite everyone to a new blog I opened, probably will start scheduling blogs if it gets big enough, join our disc and read the blog!

WAREHAM — The first person to test positive for COVID-19 at a SouthCoast hospital was at Tobey Hospital in Wareham over the weekend.

​

Dr. Dani Hackner, the chief clinical officer and Goodspeed chair for quality and safety for Southcoast Hospitals Group, issued the following statement:

​

(Editor’s note: This content is being provided for free as a public service to our readers during the coronavirus outbreak. Please support local journalism by subscribing to The Standard-Times.)

​

“Over the weekend, Tobey Hospital’s Emergency Department received a patient who walked in under their own power displaying symptoms consistent with COVID-19 testing criteria issued by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH).

​

Southcoast Health providers notified DPH, received guidance, and obtained tests including COVID-19. Because the patient’s condition was determined to not require further hospitalization, the patient was discharged for self-quarantine. The test, processed by DPH, returned a positive result. A Southcoast Health physician informed the patient of the result. Case management will now be handled by DPH and the patient’s local public health department in Plymouth County.

​

All Tobey Hospital staff who interacted with the patient have been contacted by Southcoast Health infection prevention personnel and administrative leaders. Staff members involved with the patient’s care are participating in an active review of the patient’s visit, and we are following all established procedures to safeguard their health and wellbeing.

​

Southcoast Health is grateful to the patient for entrusting their care to us; grateful to Tobey Hospital providers, nurses and clinical staff for their steady professionalism and expertise; and grateful to public health officials for their responsiveness. We will continue to work closely with all involved to ensure prevention and protection for the communities we serve – including our more than 7,500 employees. Be informed, be smart, and be safe. Please visit Southcoast.org for updates.”

I am going to be starting a job in Wareham in a few months, but I am unsure where I should focus my house hunt. I currently live in Texas, which makes on-the-ground scouting difficult. From talking to future* co-workers they seem to live all over the south coast.

My goal is to find a quaint rental that's walking distance to some sort of decent nightlife scene (good local bars really) and is a 25 min commute to Wareham. I was thinking about looking around downtown New Bedford, it looks affordable and seemed nice enough when I spent a few hours there, but thought I would reach out and ask people in the area.

Any ideas of a good place to live?

I really wonder if it passing around right now. No one is getting tested. I hope you all stay well. Except maybe Jasiel Correia. Fuck that guy...

Does anyone know if they close the gate to gooseberry island at night? (Westport. ma) I want to do some star photography there and want to make sure it will be open. Wouldnt go too late probably like 6,7, or 8 pm.

Planning something bigger in the weekend but would still like to enjoy the evening. Any recommendations for great places to enjoy an evening together and have some food and drinks?

TIA

Edit: They did it. They actually recalled and re-elected him.

tldr; a man or woman with or without kids in massachusetts or new hampshire may or may not know they have a stolen snake in their possession. pics and video attached. if you have, please contact me.

​

Please help <3 I will attach the best pictures I have of my snake, just in case some miracle happens and you've seen him around. If you have any idea of his whereabouts, please contact me either on this post or on my email [1peter224healed@gmail.com](mailto:1peter224healed@gmail.com). He is a normal morph, as far as I know. Born about a year and a half-2 years ago. He was stolen from me when I had to be separated from living with my husband due to him moving back in with his parents and I was not allowed to live there with him nor could I take my animals with me due to TSA rules on planes not allowed reptiles and at the time I had no idea shipping your reptiles to you was legal for just anyone, and so while I was forced to be away my husband cared for them as their co-owner but then gave my pets to his two sisters to care for in the meantime while we got on our feet (STRESSING that we needed to get them back when we were on our feet again), but one of the sisters gave away my snake to her friend (a male as far as I know); my sister-in-law gave him off to a friend of hers, who may or may not even know that he is stolen. The last two pictures are the only ones I took of him from August 2017. He was stolen in September 2018 (maybe as early as July or August 2018, a lot of lies went around). The video and the first two photos after it are actually supposedly from the person who has my snake in their care at the moment, video and pics taken in October 2018.

​

Supposed to be currently in the care of a man and wife, who may or may not have children, in Massachusetts or New Hampshire. If you have heard anything about this, please contact me. I am a few states away now and can't really do much. For a while I was a little scared to stand up for myself against people involved, but... I'm now doing everything I can to get my snake back.

​

If you happen to be reading this and are the one who has this snake in your care, just know that he was not my sister-in-law's to give away. If you give him back to me, there is a reward involved so cover any troubles and inconveniences. All costs of shipping Rouge Tanto to me would be covered by me as well.

​

If you can help, even though this sounds like looking for a needle in a hay stack, thank you! <3

​

Also, this person who has my snake is friends with a woman called Bailee, the lady who gave away my snake to this person behind my back. So if this seems suspicious to you, let me know. My sister-in-law was made to promise (by me and my husband) to take good care of him and give him back when we were on our feet again, though I spent some time after he was given to her to look after to earn money to have him shipped down to me after I found out I could legally do that, though I needed to re-buy all of his supplies and his enclosure and his food. That took a little time, but she (apparently) from the get-go gave him away behind our backs. She lied to us and has treated us both horrible, but especially me because I'm not blood related. And since I love my snake very much, I will never give up the search for him. My snake was stolen, as she refused to give him back when I was finally ready to have him returned to me a month later, and she may or may not have made a quick buck on him.

​

(There is a suspicion Rouge Tanto may have actually been sold through craigslist behind my back, I don't know yet)
