Letters to the Editor

To the Editor,
I’d like to take a moment to acknowledge the passing of a wonderful community member,  Leo Weinburg.
From the moment Leo and his family came to the Deerfield Valley, they established a well-appreciated pizza business in West Dover.  Leo took a great interest in...
To the Editor, 
Trappers use a lot of excuses to justify their recreational hobby, but the reality is that trapping not only presents serious animal welfare concerns, it is also a threat to ecosystem health and biodiversity. 
The science is clear: predator species like bobcats,...
To the Editor,

To the Editor,
Thank you very much for the most recent two editorials “Tone Deaf Response,” published in the August 10 edition, and “Get on Board” on August 17.
