Letters to the Editor

To the Editor,
Kudos to Diane Whitney for her article “Romancing the Crone” (The Cracker Barrel, Summer/Fall 2023). Both extraordinarily well written and acutely on point, rarely have I read a more accurate, descriptive, and positive depiction of the changes that lie ahead for every young...
To the Editor,

To the editor,
This upcoming Sunday, September 24, from 11 am to 2 pm at Hayford Field, local scouts from BSA Troop 461 will be hosting a Community Scout Day to allow kids to come and see what scouting is all about.

But, have you ever...
To the Editor,
We must not become complacent about climate change.  There is now ample evidence that the earth is warming and this is caused by our continued use of fossil fuels.  We can see the effects of climate change when we read about floods and droughts and wildfires and destruction...
To the Editor,
On expansion permits for the Adams Farm, I feel they should be congratulated in keeping up with the times in order to save a farm that has survived every change in its 100 years or more. 
It is in pristine condition and they need to keep up with the times in order to...
