Hopedale elects Hazard, Reynolds in Tuesday election
The Milford Daily News
HOPEDALE – Voters put Glenda Hazard back on the town’s Board of Selectmen in Tuesday’s local election, restoring the top board’s three-member roster.
“I really appreciate the residents’ support in a multitude of ways over the past few months,” Hazard said Wednesday morning.
Hazard won a special election in early December to be on the board, but stepped down in late February, after her father was diagnosed with sudden and aggressive pancreatic cancer. Kenneth Hazard died March 11.
Hazard won Tuesday’s election with 475 votes to opponent Kaplan Hasanoglu’s 314 votes, according to the town clerk’s unofficial results.
Community rallies around Swansea man’s desire to help others

SWANSEA As New Englanders, we can all admit that by February, we have had our fill of the drudgery of the winter months, especially when it comes to clearing out our lives of the snow-covered driveways and walkways. Most of us would consider it an inconvenience. I suppose, then, it may be hard for us to imagine how the act of clearing snow could save someone’s life.
This is the story of Christopher Leduc, a Swansea resident, who for the past few weeks, has been waking up on these snowy days ready to clear the driveways of his fellow neighbors.
