FALL RIVER Bill Desmarais says he’ll settle for backwards.
“Instead of step one, two, three it’s three, two, one. But that’s OK as long as it gets done,” the senior vice commander of the Fall River and Greater Fall River War Veterans Council said.
Desmarais was referring to the recent volunteer-driven creation of a shady and cool picnic ground on the banks of the South Watuppa Pond adjacent to the former Dave’s Beach, which closed in the early 1970s.
The ribbon cutting for the single-acre, city site at the bottom of Jefferson Street to be known as Fall River Family Picnic Grove is scheduled for noon on Saturday, July 31.

Correia, a former two-term mayor, was convicted of using his power as mayor to extort bribes and commit fraud for personal financial gain, in part by shaking down marijuana companies hoping to do business in Fall River.
âUnder the former mayor, our city was for sale,â City Council President Cliff Ponte said Friday evening. âThis isnât and hasnât been the case since he stepped down, and I hope it never happens again.â
