I would like to see whoever is responsible for Section 8 housing in North Adams take it away from the deadbeat landlords -- the ones who owe back taxes and let their houses fall into disrepair.

Quality science and math teachers are in great demand in our schools today. Ours is an age of technology, and greater emphasis is needed in both disciplines at an early age.
Cheshire Elementary School retired one of its best -- Judy Moreau. Judy and her husband, Richard Moreau (retired Adams-Cheshire principal) have impressed many parents and me as

As George Bush nears the end of his reign as our president, he is once again, in a last-ditch effort, trying to convince the American people how important it is to open up our lands and waters to oil exploration.
I find it somewhat distasteful to blame the Democratic Congress for being at fault for the high fuel prices.

There are many jobs where you don't want to hear the words "he had a lapse of judgment." Police, fire and the military are just a few of them. Another is definitely a parole officer. Unfortunately, in one case in Vermont, a serious lapse of judgment occurred.
Michael Jacques, according to police, in 1992 abducted a high school senior.

I think things are in a pretty sorry state of affairs when we have people stealing planted flowers from a landscaped business property.
Two weeks ago, our business, located on State Road, was the victim of a theft. Obviously done during the night, someone felt the need to actually dig up and steal our planted irises from the front and side of our building.

The recent story about the condition of the state's transportation system (Highlights from report on Mass. roads, bridges, June 23) is not surprising to me at all. If anyone has driven around this area, they will see the same thing I do: a mess.
What is more surprising is that our elected leaders have let it go on for this long.

Most of the residents at The Spruces are very happy to be living here despite contrary opinions, and not many of us who live here are complaining about the current (or past) water situation.
Yes the situation has been annoying at times -- what isn't?! A small handful of people have rumored the problem out of proportion.

I have noticed lately that the total number of tag sales listed in the Transcript has dwindled down to hardly any.
We just had a tag sale and paid the ridiculous price of $36.49 for the minimum-size ad. Yes, we had a fairly large amount of items, so we did recoup the cost for the ad and made a profit.

The other day while in one of the post offices in the county, I happened to notice a woman standing at the mailboxes, her face displaying some deep inner woe and a look of anticipated outrage. I waited patiently for her to gather her mail, as the box I needed to get to was near the one she occupied.

While some children may dream of running away to join the circus, most animals forced to perform in the circus probably dream of escaping it. If we could only see behind the scenes how the animals live and die for our "entertainment," these circuses would quickly fade away.

This letter is in regard to an article on Page 1, column five of the Sunday Boston Globe, June 15, 2008, titled "Towns push sex offender's limits."
I would like to suggest that our city fathers start to limit where sex offenders can live in North Adams. I'm sure we all remember what happened on East Main Street a few weeks ago.

In your July 1 issue, you had a interesting article on Carol and Daniel Borer. What I found interesting was that you had the picture of one of their tenants and her children on the front page and the name and address of another tenant on Page A5, but nowhere did I see a picture of Carol or Daniel Borer or their address.
