With apple picking time nearing its peak, the Stow orchards and farmstands have been very busy places, and the Stow roads have had their share of ‘busy’ as well. This is an important time for Stow’s agricultural community and I hope you will get out there and support these businesses that help keep the rural…

It seems Stow has lost more than its share of longtime residents and town volunteers recently. This week, we sadly announce the passing of former Police Chief Gene Dwinnells, along with the loss of Christine Way, who volunteered her time on multiple town committees, in the community and in the schools.

My condolences to the family and friends of Ken Desmond, who passed away last week. Ken was a longtime resident of Stow, as well as a volunteer and town employee, including many years as a firefighter/EMT. His obituary is on page 3. We are, obviously, back from vacation and it certainly felt much too short….

SUMMER VACATION TIME FOR THE STOW INDEPENDENT There will be NO PAPER JULY 8 as we take our annual summer break. We will be back in print on July 15. With school out and Fourth of July around the corner, I am looking forward to closing “the office” after next week’s papers are done and running away for a bit….

This has been a long day. My son’s class headed to Washington D.C. this morning bright and early. Very early. (A similar trip to the one that the Hale eighth grade students went on last week.) I’ve since heard my son’s group made it down there safely, but in the meantime, the news flashed a…
