To the Editor:
I am taking the opportunity to endorse Josh Degan for selectman. He and I came on to town government at the same time driven by the same circumstance. He has done an outstanding job as planning board member and selectman. Therefore, I believe the town loses if he is not reelected....
Dear Editor,
Fire House contracts are awarded so it must be time to move on to planning for the next project to be presented to Town Meeting. It was stated that the plan was always to fund the Fire House under the levy limit, although I did not see any public commitment to this, and thus prevent...
Dear Editor:
I worked myself through Brooks Lyman's Letter to the Editor of Feb. 15 in an effort to find a smidgen of sympathy for the victims of our gun culture. You know, the families of the 26 victims in Newtown, CT; the families in Aurora, CO who lost members to a shooting in a movie theater...

We...
Dear Editor,
When the Founders (mostly Thomas Jefferson) wrote the Declaration of Independence, they made two statements: The basic principles of existence for a free people, and a list of grievances against the British Government for attempting to abrogate those principles, which they...
Dear Editor,
Saturday, Jan. 26, sunrise and the day began at a crisp, but sunny eight degrees. A dusting of snow accented the temperature. Arriving at the Performing Arts Center, I was surprised to see a full complement of shuttle buses dropping off the elderly with their walkers and wheelchairs....
Dear Editor:
I and another customer of Donelan's witnessed a very usual event last Saturday evening as we left Donelan's Market at about 7:45 p.m. I was just about to get into my car (as I faced the liquor store across Main St.) when there was the sound of an explosion, breaking of glass/collision...
Dear Editor,
As I watched opening ceremonies of the Super Poweroutage Bowl, I was reminded of the resilience of people and our country during times of tragedy. The young voices of the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT choir singing so sweetly, bravely and powerfully to all of us...about...
