From Town Tribune, October 12, 2017. To the Editor:

On November 7th Sherman residents have an opportunity to select their leadership team for the next two years. For the voters in Sherman the choice is a clear one.

The team of Lowe/Keenan offers the town two candidates that understand Sherman and have a clear vision of its future. Since Don Lowe has been a selectman for six years and is well known to most residents, I would like to give you some background information regarding Kevin Keenan.

Kevin Keenan, candidate for Selectman, is a homeowner, pays taxes, has raised three children that have attended the Sherman School, has been involved in town recreational programs, and has volunteered his services to town committees and boards.

He has operated Southview Builders for over twenty years. He knows and understands the needs of commercial businesses. He has served on the Sherman Board of Education for 10 years. He is well aware of the needs of the Sherman School and thoroughly understands the maintenance of the school building.

In addition, Kevin has been active with the Troop 48 serving as a committee member for the last four years. He thoroughly understands what makes the town function and how to best serve its residents.

Why will the election of Don Lowe and Kevin Keenan make a difference for the residents of Sherman? Because they care about – making town government more efficient, seeing that town agencies work together, responding to the peoples’ needs in Sherman, and seeing that our commercial businesses succeed and prosper.

In short, they will work for you!

Bob Gamper, Sherman
