Benjamin Miner: No concentration camps in America
07-11-2025 1:57 PM

The news cycles these days are overwhelming with distressing stories, but two developments this week — a random show of force by ICE in MacArthur Park in LA, and the opening of a concentration camp in the Florida Everglades — bring any person of good conscience to a new level of outrage and alarm. Random displays of state-sponsored intimidation are designed to intimidate not just those directly targeted, but also to sow anxiety and fear among those of us who have not been targeted and are most likely to protest.


As I See It: On ‘facts’ and ‘truths’
07-11-2025 1:54 PM

Garth Shaneyfelt: Paying the piper
07-09-2025 1:59 PM

Another big jump in water and sewer rates will continue to be a challenge for residents. Averaging 9% per year, the rates will double approximately every eight years! The Department of Public Works works hard and deserves appropriate raises and indeed cost of materials continues to climb. As evidenced by the constant construction and emergency water main repairs needed, much of our 100-year-old infrastructure had been neglected for quite a while; we can place blame squarely on the “rates never went up that much back in my day” folks!

Ann Richardson: A very kind gesture
07-08-2025 1:07 PM

While shopping for plants recently at a local flower store, I saw a woman with ivy vines and a peony in her cart. She had been shopping in the discount area and had spent a long time looking for “the best of the rest,” some plants looking half dead. But she had found some lovely choices. After admiring her choices and a brief chat, she went to the checkout but came back quickly as she had lost her wallet. A short time later she returned with a smile and her wallet, and I told her she was lucky to get the last peony worth buying. I gave her a hug, wished her happy planting and she went on her way. After I found the best of the rest, I checked out, but when I got to my car … she had left me the last peony by our car! My heart melted! But she was gone, without a note. This is my “thank uou” note to her.

Reenie Grybko Clancy: More ideas on reusables
07-07-2025 9:18 PM

During the 1940s and 50s, single-use items were just coming into vogue. Remember the advice given to Ben in “The Graduate?” Plastics? It was certainly taken seriously and now has become an almost insurmountable problem. The June 28 My Turn on reusable take-out containers is great [“It’s time for reusable take-out containers”]. But why wait for businesses to implement the practice on their own or worse, wait for government to pass yet another law. Do it yourself.


Peter Flynn: What have you really gotten?
07-07-2025 9:18 PM

Hello MAGA people. I have a challenge for you. I want you to identify one good thing about the past six months that personally has touched you as a New Englander. For instance, anytime I drive down a newly paved road I think, “Thanks Infrastructure Act. Thanks Joe.” So what is it you can thank Donald for? Please don’t tell me about closed southern borders unless you have been to them. Whatever is happening 3,000 miles away has not touched you personally. Perhaps you know someone who has been deported locally. Has that improved your life? Did you get a job that the immigrant couldn’t? Maybe your boss gave you a raise now that those immigrants aren’t bringing wages down. Tell me about it please. Can you thank Donald Trump for cheaper or better health care? How about better policing so we can feel safer? Maybe it’s your gun collection, does that make you safer? But did Biden do anything to restrict your guns these past four years? I can’t think of anything. Has Trump provided you with less expensive food or housing? How about lower taxes? Exactly how much do you expect to get back from the Treasury? Is it more than those tariffs are costing you? I know I haven’t covered everything. So please help me understand what is something real and concrete that MAGA folks can point to, touch, and hold up that they are getting that they were not getting before. Thank you for your help.
