Backtalk

GREAT JOB: What a pleasure it is to see somebody finally saying it like it is about the Red Sox. Good going, Dennis Whitton. I wish the other sportscasters were like him.

Tewksbury

THAT'S ONE VOTE: I read the letter to the editor Friday in The Sun, and what Matt Vieira wrote about Lowell voters is true. I congratulate him on his future goals, and I hope to have him serving myself, and the city of Lowell in two years. He's got my vote!

Lowell

LITTERBUGS: If Tyngsboro really wants to make money, maybe it should enforce the no-littering laws, especially between Westford Road and Middlesex Road. All you see are bottles, cups, cardboard boxes. That's a main road into town, and it's disgusting.

Tyngsboro

GREAT POLICE WORK: I would like to thank Sgt. Gilmore and Officer Sargent of the Dunstable Police Department. Both were very helpful to me when I recently had a theft at my place of business. They both were very thorough in catching the thieves. Once again, thanks, guys. It's nice to know you're here.

Dunstable

SPEAK UP: Billerica has more than 30,000 residents, yet we're going to let the fate of the Home Depot project be decided by a couple of hundred people. Let's speak up those of us who are in favor of it or forever hold your wallets.

Billerica

RATIONAL REACTION: In response to the caller from Westford: Those of us who did not vote for Niki Tsongas do not want to see our military men and women die in Iraq. We are all for a rational withdrawal, finishing what we started, and not publishing our timetable to give a heads-up to the enemy.

Chelmsford

PROMPT ACTION: To the kind police officer who contacted the animal control officer for me Sunday: The animal control officer came to my home even though he was going off duty, moved a trash barrel and allowed a very large skunk trapped in it to get free. Both gentlemen were fantastic, and I thank them for their kindness and quick response.

Lowell

CHAIR CONTROVERSY: The Windham School Committee has cost the taxpayers millions of dollars because of its ongoing errors with the construction of the high school project, yet it has the time to criticize an executive over the cost of a chair that cost a couple of hundred dollars more than members think it should. It's absolutely ridiculous and a waste of time.

Windham, N.H.
