Letters to the Editor

To the Editor,
The holiday season grows with hope and anticipation into a Christmas crescendo of bright tidings of comfort and joy.  For all of us there have been holidays where the year that preceded was perhaps trying, perhaps difficult and sometimes marred by the illness or loss of a...
To the Editor,
Let’s be clear that Sen. Bernie Sanders has been a huge help to all Vermonters. As a Vietnam era vet he helped me get the medical care through the VA.  If he wants to run for president then fine. That’s his decision and I respect it. Bernie knows what he’s doing and we trust...
To the Editor,
Clean Heat has been switched on this winter since Vermont is now using only ultra-low-sulfur heating oil.  Why the switch?  Clean heating oil is the law. According to 10 V.S.A. § 585, all heating oil sold in Vermont must have a sulfur content of less than 15 parts-per-...

To the Editor,
The town should thank Bobby Holland and David Smith for taking the time to put up the remaining snowmen around town. In past years Jim and I would add to the collection and refurbish the old ones at our cost. This past spring my husband approached the economic development...
To the Editor,
A big thank you to Boyd’s Family Farm for the trees hosted by  Shaw’s, Our Lady of Fatima, and Betsey’s Dots of Dover. Grateful little faces on Christmas morning give thanks to all of you who sponsored entire families or took tags off these trees. We brought your generosity...
To the Editor,
With the glow of Christmas barely behind us, we look forward to the New Year and the customary New Year’s resolutions: reduce social media, reduce weight, and, this year, reduce animal food consumption.
One third of consumers already report reducing their consumption...
