Backtalk
GREAT STORY: Congratulations to The Sun. I'm happy to see on Page 1 the article about the heroes from the Battle of the Bulge. It is so good to see you honoring these veterans.
Lowell
GOOD COVERAGE: I appreciated the article on the veterans of The Battle of the Bulge. That one battle in WWII had far more casualties than this entire Iraq war. I want those guys to know there are people out here of a much younger generation who are aware of your bravery and sacrifice, and are grateful for it.
Tewksbury
BETTER IDEA: I saw where Red Sox were giving food to the fans who were waiting in line to buy tickets. While it was a nice thing to do, wouldn't it be nice if they instead fed the homeless?
Billerica
SURE BET: Whoever wrote the article on the horse race comparison to the city elections should be drug tested. Mike Lenzi, Bob McMahon and Alan Kazanjian are definitely in.
Lowell
WISH LIST: Incumbent councilors Kevin Broderick, Jim Milinazzo, Rodney Elliott, Joe Mendonca and Mayor Bill Martin are working hard for the city. I hope they get re-elected, along with challengers Jo-Ann Keegan, Kristin Ross-Sitcawich, Lou Stylos and David Koch.
Lowell
TOO P.C.: If you can't bring yourself to call your Halloween costume a "hobo" or a "bum," you shouldn't be dressing as a homeless person. That's way too politically correct for me.
Chelmsford
SAFE AND SOUND: We would like to thank the Lowell Police Department, 911 operator Lopez, the K-9 unit of Lowell and the residents of South Lowell for bringing our son home safely. Thank you so very much.
Smith Family, Lowell
STORE WANTED: I second the idea of Michael's, A.C. Moore or Jo-Ann Fabrics opening on Bridge Street at the site of the old Ames store. It would be a great fit.
North Chelmsford
SAFETY FIRST: The reason children are not buckled up on school buses is because if there were an accident it would be impossible to unbuckle all of the children, and get them out of the bus.
Woburn
LATE DELIVERY: What is going on with the mail box in front of Fios on Mammoth Road in Lowell? I mailed a mortgage payment on Oct. 4, and got a letter dated Oct. 18 saying they did not receive my payment. The Post Office is no help at all in this.

My family had to move because my child was the victim of severe bullying. These bullies in the Tewksbury school system kept sending my child home with ripped clothes ,bruises and cuts. The school's solution was to seperate my child from her peers claiming she had issues. These bullies told my child they would keep hitting and setting her up until she got kicked out of school. The bullies all told the principal she hit them. The principal told my daughter ,that she had to beleive the other children because there were 5 against one with the same story. My child cried in disbelief that no one believed her. What has happened to our world ? How did ten year olds get so mean and untruthful
