I have been a subscriber to the Daily News Transcript and its antecedents for many years. It has always been a great source of information and opinion from many segments of local communities.
As the town officials try to come to a decision regarding the building leased by the Olde Colonial Café, I think it is important for all of the citizens to voice their concerns.
Many people are saying how unfortunate the situation with our former temporary superintendent is. I think there’s probably plenty of blame to go around with regard to it but rather than focus on who’s to blame, I think we should take this opportunity to refocus on what’s important.
In today’s current economic world, many landlords are offering incentives (reduction of rent) in order to keep loyal responsible tenants.
Old habits die hard, they say. However, with the approval of their owners, dog habits never die.
I sit patiently, expectantly at my living room window. Suddenly, the blue van appears at the end of the street.

With rakes in hand a team of Lowe’s volunteers, from stores in Dedham, Saugus, Weymouth and Woburn, was at Anna Marshall's Claybourne Street home Friday, Oct. 30 to remedy that situation. Using a $10,000 grant from Lowe’s, the nonprofit Rebuilding Together Boston arranged for various improvements to be made inside the home, including in the bathroom, where mold will be removed, the ceiling replastered and a new fan installed.

Shopping with her mom at Spirit Halloween at the Dedham Mall, 8-year-old Emma Weiss had a certain costume in mind: a “candy corn witch” outfit that includes a layered dress, long black coat, black boots and “an up-do wig.”
Dedham was given a 2009 Leading by Example Award today at the State House, a recognition of its environmental efforts on many fronts, from energy efficiency to green schools to the coming rollout of single-stream recycling.
After taking a few “breath holds,” a middle-age mom of three gets help putting steel shackles around her ankles and wrists and wrapping multiple chains around her body. Counting a 15-pound lead belt and nine padlocks, she straps on 55 pounds of weight in all.
