To the Editor: On behalf of the Rotary Club of Bethel, I would like to thank all the many people in our region who supported our fall and pre-holiday events and programs: our Fall Country Breakfast, our Annual Senior Luncheon, our holiday food boxes and our Christmas for Children program. The generosity of our businesses, […]

To the Editor: Trump’s self proclamation that he is an unparalleled genius is somewhat ambiguous but at the same time deserves some degree of merit, for Trump is indeed an unparalleled genius at the art of immaculate deception. Trump once claimed that he sent his investigators to Hawaii to find proof that Barak Obama was […]

To the Editor: I write this letter as a conservative father, grandfather, Vietnam era veteran, and tax payer that’s sick and tired of those saying President Trump is crazy, racially prejudiced, etc. in this and other local papers. Granted, the man is no saint, yet his many accomplishments despite constant Democratic party and their media’s […]

To the Editor: In his September 24th address to the UN President Trump made the point that the future will belong to national self-interest and not to globalism. It’s doubtful if Trump believes his own argument. He owns a multinational complex of golf courses and hotels, not to even speculate on the variety of his […]

To the Editor: I’m writing to hopefully find a souffle/casserole dish I mistakenly left at Turkey Tuesday. It was a mix up at the end of the night in the kitchen. There were two souffle dishes in the kitchen that had been rinsed out and I took the wrong one. I had a 50/50 chance […]

To the Editor: I submit the following in response to Don Chase’s letter of December 12, 2019.

I was taught […]

To the Editor: I know I’m not alone in feeling an ache in my heart left by the passing of one of Bethel’s most unique and understated good samaritans, Kathy Westleigh. Just a couple of weeks ago I was rereading the article written about her that I’d saved from the Bethel Citizen, thinking I should […]

To the Editor: The third annual Wobble and Gobble Thanksgiving Day 5K was a wonderful race! The fundraising event was successful in raising over $4000 for the Bryant Pond 4H Learning Center’s Harvest for Health Program. More than 90 walkers, runners and volunteers joined in the event and participants came from as far as Washington […]

To the Editor: I would suggest to my friend Richard Grover that grave concern over what Donald Trump is doing to the image and stature of this nation does not necessarily equate into being hatred for Trump himself. It does however incite deplore of his efforts at striving to render himself as being regarded as […]

To the Editor: Everyone is invited to enjoy the “Light Up Main Street Jingle Bell Walk” on Saturday, December 7. Come join holiday enthusiasts young and young at heart for a Bethel area holiday tradition! Meet in the parking lot of the Philbrook Place on Main St., Bethel (across from the Sudbury Inn) at 4pm […]
