This subject (climate change) has become a political quagmire, I know.  Yes, the climate is changing and has been for thousands of years.  Many scientists still feel the sky is not falling.  Beach erosion is a natural occurrence and has been happening forever.  Please stop your lemming journalism.  You piss off 50 percent of your […]

School security is in the news again with the release of the Dept. of Justice report on the Uvalde school shooting. The two most significant findings dealt with failed police response and poor exterior/interior building security. Protecting our most precious gift, our children, should cause us to reflect upon the lessons learned from the DOJ’s […]

Thank you for your article about Norm Stillman. We had heard bits here and there about where he went. We miss him terribly but during Covid, all the protocols and pressure for pet care had owners and vets struggling for normalcy as they (we) sought quality pet care. When we first met Norm in 2018, […]

Very interesting — and revealing — interview with Norm Stillman, who was the vet for two of my dogs when I first moved to Plymouth.  It’s helpful to know why he sold the practice.  He was a wonderful, caring vet and we miss him, but hope he finds what makes him happy going forward. His […]

Well done!  Norm was our vet for nearly 20 years.  It was a privilege to have him care for our dogs.  Your article was so enlightening. We never really know what goes on behind the scenes of our caregivers. He is truly one of the best and we miss him dearly.   Thank you for bringing him […]

The Norm Stillman story was both inspirational and heart breaking. It could relate to many other professions today. It is one of humanism vs. the dog-eat dog we live in today. When we moved to Plymouth seven years ago, Court Street Animal Hospital came highly rated. In prior years we had experienced the transition from […]

“Oh, I’d rather see Dr Stillman.” That was the response when they asked if I had a preference. A preference? Are you serious?! Sure. I knew there were other vets. I knew they existed. There were even other (very qualified) vets at Court Street. Umm. But no. We always, always had a preference. Because none […]

On Jan. 18, the Massachusetts Legislature heard testimony on the $4.1 billion bond bill on affordable housing (H4138). This is an enormously important bill for Plymouth. The hearing lasted more than nine hours and testimony was given by hundreds of people including legislators, housing authorities and other stakeholders. The bill is more than double any […]

Dear Yes on 1 Plymouth supporters, as we’re sure you have heard by now, our collective efforts to uphold the ban on the sale of miniature alcohol bottles (nips), approved by Plymouth’s elected Town Meeting representatives in October, did not yield the results we all hoped for. The vote was very close: 3,682 “no” votes […]

In response to Mark Pothier’s column, the amount of excavation and chopped up concrete that was processed at the Shaw’s building construction site, combined with the extremely long construction time, led me to believe it is a government  project. I was sure that they excavated down 5 stories for a bunker and CIA black site.  Are […]
