My Turn: Celebrating real civic work and spirit
02-12-2025 9:06 PM

By STEPHEN HUSSEY

I have waited in vain for over a week to see what response there would be, in the letters and from our town offices, to the truly extraordinary front-page article from Jan. 22, that told of the upgrades completed on the Police Department’s dispatch center, the heart of our community’s emergency response system [“Police dispatch upgrades complete,” Recorder].

David Roulston: Let the police bias verdict stand
02-11-2025 7:55 PM

The Court of Appeals has upheld the bias verdict against the city of Greenfield and its former police chief. Leonard Kesten, who nominally represented the city but who was hired and paid by an insurance company, wants to consult with his “client” before deciding to seek a further appeal.


Leo Ojala: ‘Trump did this’ stickers at the gas station
02-11-2025 7:55 PM

I’ve been away traveling. I’ll be back on the weekend. I’m glad I filled up with cheap Biden-era gas before heading to the airport. The next time I fill up, I’ll be looking for the stickers at the price of fuel that say “Felonious Trump did this.”

Lyle Hughes: Not sick of winning
02-11-2025 9:31 AM

Donald Trump promised in 2015 that if he got elected, America “would win so much we’d be sick and tired of winning.”


Patricia Crosby: DEI not what some think it is
02-11-2025 9:31 AM

I guess it needs to be said yet again that DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) practices in the employment world do not mean hiring unqualified people over others because the former are part of some special population. DEI means making sure people who are also qualified get a fair, unbiased chance at being selected for a position.


Jeannette Dowd Hurlburt: Thank you city employees
02-11-2025 9:31 AM

I wanted to write this to give thanks to city officials for resolving a computer software glitch that created my recent incorrect property tax bill. I recently received a more than doubled property tax with fees and interest owed which, unbeknownst to me, was caused by a computer glitch. The staff was trying to resolve the problem but the software license company wasn’t making it easy for them as the software couldn’t be changed.


Rosemary A. Seifert-Graf: Our president’s first and most important actions
02-11-2025 9:31 AM

President Trump’s first important action is pardoning all Jan. 6 Capitol rioters (1,500-plus) regardless of what they did. One hundred and seventy-four U.S. Capitol Police officers were attacked and nearly a dozen people died in connection with the riot. Some of these rioters are members of Oath Keepers and Proud Boys.

As I See It: Trump’s amoralism worse than selfishness
02-07-2025 7:01 PM

By JON HUER

Most liberals know Donald Trump is a selfish person, close to being a narcissist. But, in their anti-Trump zeal, they forget that he is also an amoralist, the twin brother of selfishness. It’s easier to see his selfishness, such as his extreme craving for popular adulation. But his amorality is much more dangerous in a president, though less well known. We know how to deal with selfishness, but not as easily with amorality.

Paki Wieland: No place for hate
02-07-2025 1:36 PM

A friend recently reminded me of a banner displayed above one of the prominent banks in our town center. It was up there for over a year, during the brief period when racism and murder were finally being exposed in the mainstream news media. The banner read something to the effect of “Racism has no place in Greenfield.”


Barbra Carson: Manifest Destiny
02-07-2025 1:36 PM

Trump’s Manifest Destiny: Greenland, Panama, Canada and now, Gaza, where he’ll turn the territory into “the Riviera of the Middle East” and “Make Gaza Beautiful Again.” Meanwhile — how are those egg prices going? You know, the groceries.


Genevieve Harris-Fraser: Gaza plans look like crimes
02-07-2025 1:36 PM

Instead of planning for the ethnic cleansing of and proposed land grab of war-torn Gaza, President Donald Trump should be proposing a Marshall Plan for the wartime destruction in Gaza. Yes, Gaza needs to be rebuilt. America bears responsibility for supplying the weapons Israel used to destroy Gaza’s apartment buildings and homes and places of worship, along with its infrastructure, schools, and 11 colleges and universities.
