Report Inappropriate Comments

Hey Steve, think your comment is somewhat rude, if the rule changed, were the veterans advised of this, or was this a last minute decision? Selling poppies is associated with Memorial day, so I don't think the response would have been the same on another day. Understanding there are liability issues these days were years ago, this was not an issue. I also believe there is no Stop & Shop in Barrington. Basically I see this as a lack of communication between Shaws and the Post. I hope this is corrected so the Veterans can continue next year.

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
