Your February 3 article on garbage pick-up [“Weighing Garbage Carting Options,” Residence] mentioned Go Green Sanitation. I’ve used them for 10 years and have been pleased with their service.
However, when I saw that your article mentioned that they charge $29.99 monthly, I felt your readers might want to know that is only for new customers, and only for the first year. After that, your rate goes up. I started at $19.99 10 years ago and was most recently charged $59.99 monthly, plus tax.

Even SimplerI have to admit I was flattered that Ken Dorph, the Mideast expert, responded to my Letter to the Editor [“Build Bridges,” Letters, November 30]. He literally spent three paragraphs qualifying that he is an expert, despite the fact that...
NewtownThere comes a time within some lives, When sparrows fall and voices fail, And all that is, or ever was, Holds not one single claim to what will be. For twenty-six, and those who cherished them, that day has come....
Permanent Damage?Today’s headlines covering the anti-Israel, pro-Hamas demonstrations across the country in cities and on many a campus are eerily reminiscent of my youth in the late 1960s. Anti-Vietnam sentiment divided us who were being conscripted to prosecute a war we...
