Letters to the Editor

To the Editor,
Once upon a time, human behavior obeyed an equivalent of Newton’s third law - for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, when someone stepped on your foot and you said “ouch,” they reacted by saying “I’m so sorry. I didn’t see your foot there...
To the Editor,
It is difficult to comprehend that there is yet another mass murder of children in our country. Nonetheless, a young 18-year-old boy who appears to have been bullied, dropped out of school, was unemployed, fighting with his parents, and without a plan for his future, has...
To the Editor,
I am extremely grateful for the outpouring of community support over the past week in regards to my health as this was cited incorrectly as the reason for my resignation from the Whitingham Selectboard. I would like to clarify that I have no health concerns and the reason...
