Letter: Cahan, Kuhn have excellent record on the environment
Hope Cahan and Amy Kuhn should be reelected to the Falmouth Town Council so they can continue their commitment to protecting our town’s environment. During their first term, they backed installation of a solar array to provide 70% of electricity needs in municipal buildings. They supported an ordinance to reduce air and noise pollution at […]

John cares about the […]

Life Unwound: You are companioned
Years ago, in the raw days after shoulder repair surgery, carefully dosing the opioid Dilaudid for pain, I slept, tried to sleep. I tossed this way, miserable in this position, pillows just so in the leather recliner suggested by the surgeon. I turned that way, wincing in that position, propped with cushions as the physical […]
Letter: Cahan deserves reelection to Falmouth council
I am supporting Hope Cahan for reelection to the Falmouth Town Council because of her commitment to civility and transparency in bridging divisions in our community.
