To the Editor: I second Paul Osenkowski’s letter of last week appealing to all Mattapoisett residents (full-time and summer) to fill out the open space and recreation survey on the Mattapoisett Town website. We are a town of several thousand. Everyone needs to express their priorities for open space and recreation planning, not just a […] Read more »

To the Editor: This morning in South Africa I opened my email to hear that Stu Richardson passed yesterday. He will be missed. Stu Richardson was one of the first people that I got to know in Marion. He had been approached years before by Ernie, the much-loved Pastor of Saint Gabriel’s, where Stu served […] Read more »

To the Editor: About two weeks ago, you ran a letter from a reader complaining about dog feces on Ned’s Point Road. I walk on that road every day with my dog and rarely ever see any dog droppings. However, I do see miscellaneous paper cups, napkins, wrappers, etc., from local fast-food restaurants. Perhaps town […] Read more »

To the Editor: It’s time to wake up. The survey that is available on the Mattapoisett town website needs to be addressed by the people who live here. As of the last Conservation Committee meeting, only 49 responses had been received. Don’t start complaining when things are happening to your town that you don’t like. […] Read more »

To the Editor: Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz said, “There’s no place like home.” But I would say, “There’s no place like Sippican School’s Community Garden, where many people made it every bit as beautiful as Oz itself.” The space alongside the school’s bus loop, where there had been an overgrowth of weeds and […] Read more »

To the Editor: Wow. I am still so amazed and excited by the incredible support shown by the community for Sippican’s Band Blast. Over 100 volunteers worked before, during and after the Blast to pull it off. I can’t thank Chris and Kelly Horton and their crew from Harbor Blue Seafoods enough for the delicious […] Read more »

To the Editor:             In your recent Wanderer issue (Vol. 22, Issue 25, Nr. 1056), Letters to the Editor, Mr. Robert Brown expressed his support for the Mattapoisett Community Tennis Association (for those enjoying tennis) and mentioned the Mattapoisett Lions Club, among others, as being public service organizations. He goes on to say “the Lions […] Read more »

To the Editor:   The Mattapoisett Community Tennis Association (MCTA) is a public service organization like the Lions Club, Boy Scouts and the Red Cross. We are a nonprofit corporation chartered in Massachusetts in 1999, and registered with the United States Tennis Association (USTA). We have no paid employees – we are all volunteers – […] Read more »

To the Editor: “My heart leaps up when I behold/A rainbow in the sky.” So wrote beloved British poet William Wordsworth. I didn’t see a rainbow; in fact, today is a cloudy day, but this morning, as I was running in Mattapoisett, I came upon a rather large group of Center School students and their […] Read more »
