Dear Editor: I attended the March 23 Conservation Commission hearing and learned that all the trees on the former Plymouth Rubber site along Neponset and Revere streets along the Canton River/East Branch of the Neponset River are slated to be cut down, stumps removed, and all vegetation removed, in a poorly planned attempt by the […]
Did you know … Massachusetts license plates are made in prison. If you ever wondered about Massachusetts auto license plates, you may be interested to know that they are all made by prisoners at the MCI-Cedar Junction prison in Walpole, where they have been making them since 1920.

Did you know … A recent interesting article in the Boston Globe mentioned that the state plans to breed and raise 150 venomous timber rattlesnakes and then turn them loose on protected land on a small island in the middle of the Quabbin Reservoir, which, by the way, provides drinking water to Boston and many […]

Dear Editor: I just finished reading “Less than a Minute,” Joan Florek Schottenfeld’s column in the February 18 issue about the glorious life and heartbreaking passing of her beloved beagle, Snoopy.
