Mayor’s corner by Greg “Porp” Rogers:
Things have never been busier at 3 W. Main St. We have experienced the biggest number of employees leaving us in my tenure and nothing is even close. The DPW will be shorthanded throughout the Summer, with Charlie Snell retiring in April, and John Pasquale has decided to retire at the end of this month. In addition, the Rogers family welcomed their newest addition, Sadie Danielle, was welcomed by my son Mike and his wife Olivia. We wish John the best in his retirement. He has been a main cog in the wheel of the DPW for over 30 years and will be greatly missed. Clerk Treasure Eileen Carmel has also tendered her resignation, but will help us with the transition, her last day is to be determined.
Long time SRO, Sean Anchor, had his last day on Tuesday. I believe whom ever created this position must have had Sean in mind. The perfect combination of physically imposing with the heart of an angel, our children felt safe with him as a protector. But he had enough little kid in him so they had fun. I have ALWAYS been a huge Sean Anchor fan, we wish him nothing but the best but thank him for his years of service.
Jacob Crissy answered my last column with the first home run of the little league season, that gets him a milkshake from the Mayor.
On to our graduates; congratulations!!! Hopefully your journey will be remembered fondly. This is a special year as I have 2 grandsons in the class of 2026, Jayden Cain and Cam Wilson, I couldn’t be prouder of both. On April 1, 2012, my wife put these two 4 year olds in shirts that said, “Don’t mess with me, my Papa is the Mayor.” Want a fond memory.
To the Class of 2026, remember, “Once a KNIGHT always a KNIGHT,” you are someone special. Good Luck.
