Letters to the Editor

To the Editor,
If you’d like to get a first-person glimpse into the future of rural innovation, consider this your cue to get to Hanover, NH, on November 13. That’s because, for the first time, CORI’s annual Small Towns, Big Ideas pitch event is happening in-person thanks to an exciting...
To The Editor,
I want to publicly thank selectboard chairman Tom Fitzgerald for responding so quickly to a request I made last Friday.  
There has been a pile of very unsightly trash in the parking lot behind Jezebel’s under a pine tree.  I texted Tom last Friday evening with a...

To the Editor,
I’m very impressed with how the Wilmington Post Office looks these days (I’m not including the too small parking lot in this letter of appreciation.)
Postmaster Ashley Harwood is very helpful and professional and the public space is clean and orderly, which is real...
To the Editor,
