To The Editor: Within the past several weeks, we have had two letters and articles in the Hollis Brookline Journal that represent emotional responses to the issues of our days while omitting important realities. Emotions are important because they can tell us when something does not feel ...
To the Editor: I share Normand Bleau’s disappointment to read the misrepresentations and accusations Representative Levesque makes in her letter to the editor in the April 4 issue of The Journal. I am also disappointed that at the recent three-night, record-turnout Hollis Brookline ...
To the Editor: In last week’s Hollis Brookline Journal, Lynne Dougherty requested alternatives to Common Core state standards and expressed indifference for “local (parental) control of education.” I’d like to respond by recognizing that this issue ...
To the Editor: My name is Khushali Patel, and I am a seventh-grader at Hollis Brookline Middle School. I lost my grandmother in September 2013 to lymphoma, and it was heartbreaking. She slowly slipped away and the worst part was that it was a long process, so she was in pain until the end. I ...
To the Editor: I write today as a concerned citizen and taxpayer after experiencing the recent deplorable cooperative board annual meetings. I have never before seen such an orchestrated display to quell free speech and open discussion. On each of the “big” topics a line of ...
Troop 401 thanks all To the Editor: On behalf of the members of Boy Scout Troop 401 and their families, we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the following outstanding businesses, whose generosity made the 8th Annual Silent Auction and Dessert Buffet, on April 5 a great success. ...
To the Editor: HPM Insurance would like to congratulate the Milford Fire Department for its hard work in making the residents and businesses of Milford a safer place to live and work. It may seem obvious that any town’s fire department makes a community safer; however, ...
To the Editor: On Saturday, May 3, please join the Milford Improvement Team and the Milford Masons in giving Milford a good outdoor spring cleaning. As the snow banks have receded, trash has reared its ugly head in our beautiful town. We will start the day at Keyes Field at 9 a.m. with ...
To the Editor: Another maple season has ended and while Mother Nature made it a bit difficult with all her snow and freezing temperatures, we made it through. We would like to thank Thom Davies and Pete Smith from Beaver Brook for giving us the unique opportunity to expand our hobby and ...
To the Editor: As we approach the 118th Boston Marathon, I would like to extend a hearty job well done to Stan Vancellette, of Amherst. Stan has not missed a Boston Marathon in 37 years. This is an astonishing feat, as he has run through issues that would have stopped many other runners. ...
To the Editor: Never stop rediscovering! Today, small businesses are struggling and surrounded by economic doom and gloom, and business growth and business survival is critical to our entire nation’s economy. Today as consumers, we import more than we export and job loss from this ...
To the Editor: I am sending along this letter to the editor as Wilton’s oldest living former selectman for several reasons. My deep pride for my community. My wife and I still own property in Wilton, which is not large enough to raise beef cattle but is big enough for the both of ...
To the Editor: Last week, some residents of Wilton, Lyndeborough, Temple, Amherst and Milford took the first steps in the creation of Harwood’s Farm Market, a food cooperative, which will be in Wilton but serve the entire Souhegan community. Energized by the Transition Town Network, ...
To The Editor: The Souhegan Valley Chamber of Commerce wishes to thank all who attended the Veteran’s Benefit Auction on Friday, April 11. The auction was a huge success and we are pleased to make a sizeable donation to the Chaplain’s Emergency Relief Fund. A very ...
To the Editor: This week, seventh grade students at Lurgio were given a survey titled “Search Institute, Profiles of Student Life: Attitudes & Behavior”. This survey was optional and names were not to be included. There were about 158 questions that even my own son ...
To the Editor: How would you react if someone approached your seventh-grader and asked her how many times she’s had “sexual intercourse,” “gone all the way” or “made love”? Any good parent would have them arrested as a ...
To the Editor: I watched with the usual disgust as the Bedford School Board refused to provide answers to parents and taxpayers about why an intrusive, completely inappropriate survey was administered to children as young as 11. Every single person on that school board, as well as the ...
To the Editor: After seeing the “BurmaShave” style signs on the way to the transfer station and knowing one of the 2013 Town Council’s goals was to increase recycling in Bedford, I decided to analyze my home’s waste stream in hopes of encouraging a ...
To the Editor: I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Rapsis’ “Basically Bedford” column about the good and bad of sidewalks. I was particularly entertained by his musing on litter – the debris that seems to multiply as the snow banks recede and the trash talk ...
To the Editor: Saturday, April 26, will be the annual spring work day at the Pulpit Rock Conservation Area, with a rain date of Saturday, May 3. Please join us beginning at 9 a.m. in the parking lot on New Boston Road. Please bring gloves, trash bags, loppers and hand saws. Tasks include ...
