To the Editor: There are people whose job it is to sit around a table and think: How can we do something truly stupid, and make it harmful to the planet and to some real human beings while we are in the groove? A bunch of these people from Tennessee apparently were doing this job when they ...
Once, Lyme disease was just something that happened to other people, something we’d hear about now and then, something discussed on public radio, but not something about which we needed to worry. That’s what we thought. The truth is, we should have been worrying about ...
We love a parade and, obviously, so do you because Milford’s annual Labor Day parade last week was a huge hit. That was evidenced by the number of people watching but also, we’re happy to report, by the number of participants. It has been several years since ...

To the Editor: What a shame. At the 2014 Milford Labor Day parade, men and women sat as the flag was paraded by veterans and patriotic groups. Men kept their hats and caps on. No respect for the flag. What a huge contrast with the behavior of citizens of Cheyenne, WY, at their Frontier ...

To the Editor: Northern Iraq; ISIS; Syria, Gaza. The world is a dangerous place and there is enough geo-political instability to give one nightmares. I want our elected officials to make wise, well-reasoned judgments on the use of military force. As a former active duty military officer (Judge ...
At last: Market Basket is back and those among us who value the company for its prices can breath a sigh of relief. We’re saved after weeks of having to shop at the grocery chain that shall remain unnamed but which offers prices in excess of those at Market Basket. And the opening of ...
You know how we love to rail against the idiots who dump trash on the side of the road? Well, here’s a different story: One Saturday morning, at around 6:30, a friend of ours was approaching the stop sign on Middle Street in Milford, ready to stop and then proceed into the ...
