To the editor:

I am writing this letter to give people a heads-up.

I have seen a coyote in the area of the high school and Anna Jaques Hospital.

Two weeks ago, while having breakfast, my wife and I saw a coyote walking up Zabriskie Drive around 8:30 a.m. Saturday evening, Sept. 12, around 6 p.m., we saw a coyote again. This time, it crossed in front of our car. We were on Toppan's Lane, just below Summit Place.

I want people to be aware of small children and pets, and their surroundings, as these coyotes are in the vicinity!

Money may indeed talk, but who is listening?

"What's up?" I asked Big Freddy, as I joined him for coffee and whatnot.
"Besides everything?" Freddy asked.
"I wasn't referring to the economy," I said. "I meant what's up as in what's going on with whatever."

Barbara Anderson: Memorial Day 2012 — Freedom is product of our veterans' sacrifice

In chaos theory, the "butterfly effect" is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions, where a small change at one place in a nonlinear system can result in large differences to a later state.
The name of the effect, coined by Edward Lorenz, is derived from the theoretical example of a hurricane's formation being contingent on whether or not a distant butterfly had flapped its wings several weeks before.

David M. Shribman: Respect for vets, confidence in military something we all agree on

In his now-forgotten statement proclaiming Memorial Day, the now-forgotten John A. Logan, the commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, urged Americans not to forget those who had died in the Civil War. It was only three years since the guns were silenced. The country was stitched together but still torn asunder. Much grief and hurt remained.

Town Meeting reaches out to DC

I was fortunate to have arrived on the early side of Tuesday evening's Town Meeting in Newbury because it gave me 20 minutes or so to venture through 71 pages of the Town Warrant.
There may have been fatter ones at some time over the 60 years of my residence, but I don't recall one more comprehensively engaged with regulatory complexities. There were about a hundred of us in attendance — enough to hold a Town Meeting, but not enough to appreciate just how much we have to deal with from state and federal authority.

Take a realistic look at Law of Sea Treaty

Senate Republicans, including the Bay State's Scott Brown, can demonstrate their independence from the party's loony-right fringe by joining Democrats in supporting the Law of the Sea Treaty.
In fact, while the U.S. has long been observing the main tenets of the pact that has been in force since 1994, it has little say in how it is administered, having failed to join the almost 200 countries that have endorsed it.
