August 1968! It was exciting, exhausting and marvelous. Just like a moving day should be! We were moving from the city to the “country”… or should I say the “suburbs.” The moving van was out front and we were (all eight of us) working to get the furniture and all our belongings stashed into the […]

By Melissa Mayer I can’t believe the race is two weeks away. What was I thinking, signing up for a 5k? Four months ago, I couldn’t even walk a mile, and now I think I can run more than three! I feel too old to be doing this. I am over 40 — who am […]
Dear Editor: Harriet Burak’s article about her son Michael was featured on the front page of your paper (“My Weekend with Michael,” September 26).

Dear Editor: I am writing to voice my opinion on the town’s proposal to change the trash service. I am totally opposed to changing systems. I know people who have the system the selectmen are considering, and they hate it. Let’s keep what we have. It is not worth the savings. Cheaper is not always […]

Your extended hospitality, generosity, and thoughtfulness to us local seniors is outstanding. It […]
By Harriet Burak On September 9, 2004, my son, Michael, died from a heroin overdose.
