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 […]

The League of Women Voters of the Plymouth Area would like to call your attention to an opportunity soon to be provided by Secretary of State William F. Galvin’s office to easily obtain mail-in ballots for all four elections this year. The elections will be in March, May, September, and November. Later this month, postcards […]

The battle of the nip is over and the United Liquor Sellers (ULS) has won over the “Plastic Pickers of Plymouth.” Alcohol addicts can continue drinking while driving and throwing those tiny vessels of joy out of car windows. And we, the people of the United States’ hometown, can continue picking up that garbage from […]

Bill Fornaciari’s column (History & Architecture, Jan. 12) was great story with wonderful memories. We moved to Plymouth – Atlantic Avenue – in 1971 where we had built a lovely colonial house across from the ocean. We had good neighbors, many of whom are still close friends. We shopped at Benny’s plaza for groceries and […]
