The most recent race for Milford selectman was the closest since 2005, when William Buckley was elected over Cynthia Kearns.
Dino DeBartolomeis was returned to public office last week in an election that many voters suspected was the closest in recent years. It was the tightest margin in seven years, according to election results provided by the Milford Town Clerk's office. DeBartolomeis was elected to an 11th term on the Board of Selectmen with 58 percent of the vote, or 1,682 of the votes cast. Michael Denice collected 1,211. In 2005, Selectman Bill Buckley was elected with 56 percent of the vote, defeating Cynthia Kearns. And in 2004, Brian Murray was elected with an even tighter margin: 53 percent of the votes cast, in a contest over William Kingkade Jr. That year saw the highest turnout of the past decade: 4,319 people cast ballots.

And on Dilla Street, a supporter of Ron Paul has been spreading the word for months that he's the right choice for Republican nominee for president.

Today is Groundhog Day, when Punxsutawney Phil and a host of imitators will decide whether we face another six weeks of winter, or an early spring.
Our weekday morning column, 5 Things You Need to Know, provides you with information that can help you plan your day and give you some fodder for water cooler conversations. 1. UPDATED: It's six more weeks of winter, according to the prognosticating groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil. On Thursday morning, in central Pennsylvania, a groundhog will come out of his "burrow" on Gobbler's Knob. If Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, we have six more weeks of winter. If he doesn't, an early spring will happen. Phil almost always sees his shadow, if only because the lights from all the television cameras are focused on him. This item will be updated once we know his prediction, but if you are up at 6 a.m., you can watch the breaking news as it happens. …

Dino won because he has served Milford well for the last 30 years and the community showed their appreciation. I have never congratulated anyone for losing because they lost, I encourage Michael to be part of the process. Become a committee member, learn how the town works. The town can always use new blood but you can't start out as a selectman. Congratulations Dino and I am glad to see that … more ›
