It is not coincidental that the last entry on this blog was posted Thursday, December 11th. The ice storm hit Central Massachusetts that day and the day after Princeton shut down, as did many of the surrounding towns. The people of Princeton pulled together with a remarkable spirit of giving and a tremendous sense of community. Whenever there was something that needed to be done, somebody did it, without being asked. Many individuals contributed to re-building this town and caring for our citizens, and so with a heart overflowing with joy and gratitude, I write to you on this Christmas Eve Day.

Representative Evangelidis has worked tirelessly throughout the aftermath of the ice storm and has helped in every way he could to speed the process of recovery. He put his campaign for House GOP leader aside throughout the restoration and vowed not to rest "until every light was on in [his] district." He kept public officials in each town informed about the latest goings-on and visited shelters in his district. Not having internet access, Mr. Evangelidis drove to the Gale Free Library in Holden to check his e-mail, should anyone need help and from there sent e-mails explaining the progress being made by each municipal light department. Above is a link to an article in yesterday's "Telegram & Gazette" written by John J. Monahan (Dec. 23. p.B1). Read about the race for minority leader by clicking on the link.
