SCITUATE Some associate American history with the first president of the United States, George Washington, or July 4, 1776, the date on which America was founded. But on July 4, 1776, a fairy godmother didn’t just wave her magic wand and make America appear. It took many brilliant people to lay the foundation of this magnificent country.
These words are an excerpt from an essay written by student Erin Gibbons, who won first place in the “Voice of Democracy” essay competition sponsored by the Scituate Ladies Auxiliary VFW late last year.
“Although I’m honored to win the first two levels of competition, it feels better to spread awareness for veterans people who put their lives on the line for our country than it does to win,” Erin said. “I hope that people reading this will support our local chapter, and all veterans.”

SCITUATE – The first move the town made to lessen the impact of the pandemic this year was to protect seniors, its most vulnerable population, by closing the senior center, ramping up meal delivery services and making frequent check-ins with the elderly community.
Scituate is in the lower tier for its COVID-19 test-positive rate, at 9 percent, with 443 residents testing positive of 5,171 residents tested. Those tested this year represent 49 percent of the population of 10,603.

Goodbye
Betty Foster stepped down as the longtime Town Archivist after 22 years.
“There are so many fascinating things to discover in the archives,” she said. “Scituate has one of the most complete sets of records from Plymouth Colony. I have vital records that go back to the 1600s. I truly enjoyed finding obscure things about the town that I didn’t know, and I truly loved the people I met. I met wonderful people.”
