Tom Burton: Censured for ‘outstanding public service’
03-19-2025 5:09 PM

As a resident of Ward 3 for a dozen years, I have had a number of City Council representatives and frequently watch the Thursday evening proceedings. In all of that time I have rarely met a public servant as dedicated to her constituents as Councilor Quaverly Rothenberg.


Jamie Guerin: Councilor Rothenberg a champion for safety and accessibility in Ward 3
03-19-2025 5:09 PM

I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Ward 3 City Councilor Quaverly Rothenberg for her unwavering accessibility and dedication to vulnerable residents like myself.


Ted Lindsey: Occupy Washington
03-19-2025 5:09 PM

Talk is cheap. It is clear to many that there are only two ways to stop Trump. One is the courts, the other is massive civil disobedience.


Bruno Calouro: City Hall exhibit showcases community artists
03-19-2025 5:09 PM

I want to thank Mayor Gina-Louise Sciarra for hosting an exhibit of artwork by ServiceNet community artists at Northampton City Hall throughout February and March. Her support helps shine a light on the creativity and talent of these artists and underscores the importance of inclusion and visibility for all people, including those with disabilities.


Jean Preer: Upgrade the Academy's sound system
03-19-2025 5:09 PM

A wonderfully entertaining production of “Finding Nemo Jr.” at the Northampton Academy of Music last week would have been even better if the audience could have heard all the performers and not just the leads. Without consistent sound, those who hadn’t seen the film “Finding Nemo” might have found it difficult to follow the story.


Dan Gardner: Smith Coach Hersey on my list of favorites
03-19-2025 5:09 PM

In her March 11 sports column “Leadership lessons from women’s basketball,” Jess Lapachinski listed some of her favorite coaches active in women’s basketball today. All of them are deserving of accolades. But right here at Smith College we have a coach equally deserving.

Bill McKee: Same rotten egg
03-18-2025 3:48 PM

Can somebody tell me what the difference is between Russian President Vladimir Putin taking over a bordering country and President Donald Trump wanting to take over Canada (except for using the military — so far)? These two are hatched from the same rotten egg!


Monica Strauss: Response to federal funding cuts ‘dispiriting’
03-18-2025 3:48 PM

The Gazette’s report on Gov. Maura Healey’s March 10 press conference quoted this response to the question of how the commonwealth could make up for the drastic cuts in federal funds: “The numbers are so huge that there is no way the state can begin to fill the void or pick up the tab.” For this citizen, her answer gave off an air of helplessness and negativity that was dispiriting.


Gwen Agna: Grateful for support and to serve
03-18-2025 3:48 PM

I have decided not to run for reelection for Northampton School Committee in November. I just turned 73 years old. Birthdays for me are a time for reflection and this one led me to reprioritization, given how time is marching on. I have granddaughters who are growing quickly — too quickly. And I look for joy in this broken world.

Columnist Sara Weinberger: In defense of immigrants
03-17-2025 8:01 AM

By SARA WEINBERGER

Trump won the November election with a promise to deport millions of immigrants who crossed our southern border. He spewed propaganda, calling them drug dealers, invaders, violent criminals, rapists, murderers, illegals, terrorists; people who come to take our jobs, claim citizenship for the babies they birth within our borders; who deliver the fentanyl that kills American children.


Guest columnist John Bidwell: Peace Corps — Shoulder to the wheel with the world
03-16-2025 9:12 PM

By JOHN BIDWELL

Eight years after the end of our Peace Corps service, my wife Kris Holloway and I returned to Mali, West Africa. While there, we reunited with Madou Mariko, who trained with me to repair wells.


Jay Kilbourn: Censorship and denial threaten nation
03-16-2025 9:11 PM

I write especially for friends who support President Donald Trump. Americans across the political spectrum despise censorship and threats to free speech. Now censorship threatens national security and our military personnel. Denial of obvious truths, suppression of data, and banning words and language are an affront and a threat to us all.

Jeanne Barron: Free press is not guaranteed, anymore
03-14-2025 4:41 PM

I object to the Trump administration’s recent actions to punish The Associated Press for its decision to not change the name of the “Gulf of Mexico” to the “Gulf of America” in its heralded style guide that is used around the world. This action signals a much broader and troubling trend, used by autocratic rulers around the world, to block access when the “state” does not like the reporting.
