GLOCESTER – Newly appointed Town Council President Julian “Jay” Forgue says he’s “sat with English lords, sat with presidents. I’ve met very influential people. It’s a worldly experience that I have.”
On Jan. 4, the Glocester Town Council voted 4-1 to elect Forgue, 69, as president, with Republican Walter M. O. Steere against the appointment.
Steere was the top earner in the general election with 3,266 votes. Forgue, a Republican, earned second in the race, with 3,211 votes, and was the top-earning endorsed Republican. Newly elected council members William Worthy and Stephen Arnold are also endorsed by the Republican party, and Steere is not.

Foster and Glocester see fewer cases, but life still changed
This year’s smaller Glocester Ancients & Horribles Independence Day Parade made its way down Putnam Pike on Saturday, July 4. With the usual parade canceled due to the pandemic, the committee wanted to keep the tradition alive, as well as the 94-year streak, by presenting a parade of mostly municipal vehicles and cars.
