For our last issue of November, we continue our coverage of holiday activities. The annual Christmas fair at the Island Community Center draws a crowd of nearly 300 people looking to purchase homemade craft items and more. Thanksgiving meals are delivered to those in need. A special perspective piece reports on the importance of the Seaside Pharmacy to the Island community while telling of the health struggles of its pharmacist. Stonington’s select board has been active. At a regular board meeting, members chastise the attending CSD 13 superintendent and school board members for poor communication about the need for and costs of keeping up the school buildings and systems. And, at a special town meeting called to approve transfer funds to address line items that ran over budget, the board hears complaints and frustrations from voters.
