Backtalk 09/26/2007

USE THE ARENA: As a veteran, I object to the Lowell Memorial Auditorium being used for political purposes when Bill Clinton visits. If it were a Republican who was coming in, I'm quite sure all our Democratic leaders would be up in arms. Let them use the Tsongas Arena, like anyone else would have to.

Lowell

USE AUDITORIUM: What's the big deal about letting President Clinton speak at Lowell Memorial Auditorium? I think the city should rent it out whenever possible. It's a public building.

Lowell

TOUGH SENTENCE: Those individuals who stole the bird and then got into a fatal accident with the motorcyclist should be put away for the rest of their lives. There is no excuse, and there should be no leniency. I feel badly for the family of the man who was killed.

PRUDENT DECISION: Thank you to the Shirley selectmen for their concise and logical vote to table the vote regarding the train station. They are more logical than the selectmen in Ayer and will at least look at the regional picture, and not

just for their town. Having it in the downtown area will only create traffic and chaos. Why not go regional? That makes more sense.

About the teacher raises in Tyngsboro: They are actually higher than the article made it appear. They did away with many steps in their contract that automatically gave them additional increases over the percentage reported in The Sun article. There was no way the teachers' union would absorb the town's health-care contribution changes without these hidden increases.

Tyngsboro

REMEMBER HOLIDAYS: As a Chelmsford Pop Warner parent, it's disgusting that they had cheerleading practices on the Jewish High Holidays. They've done it many times in the past, and someone should do something about it.

Chelmsford

DISAPPOINTING: As an enthusiastic soccer fan, I was saddened at the varsity game between Westford Academy and Tyngsboro, and to hear a comment from a Westford player, "Let's not get down to their level." We are the new kids on the block in Tyngsboro, and you do outnumber us in Westford, but I believe we gave you a respectable and challenging game.

Tyngsboro

BOYCOTT: About the article on the couple with twins who work for Holden Health Care: I would not have any further dealings if I were an individual, resident or business in Lowell, because of what they did to that family.

No town given
