Editorial: Town not willing to get hands dirty on blight
Andover homeowners living next to severely blighted properties, you are on your own. If a neighbor turns their property into what looks like a trash dump, don't expect the town to do much to protect your greatest investment, the value of your home.

Letter: Teachers owe students their best
Teachers owe students their best

Editor, Townsman:
We are health professionals who are duty-bound to provide the best service of which we are capable to our patients regardless of our own financial, political and workplace concerns. People whom we serve do not deserve substandard service; they are in need of care and they trust in us to provide that no matter what our situation, dissatisfactions or worries. In fact, like many professionals, in health care in particular and in this economy in general, we work longer hours and see more patients to make the same amount of money that we did in the past, and some years we make even less money for more work. We pay much more for health insurance for our family each year without any compensatory increase in pay. -
Letter: National Grid must allow LED streetlights in Andover

Editor, Townsman:
I liked the well researched letter from Frank Licata and your equally thoughtful editorial note on why LEDs are not being adopted for Andover's street lights. The note said that National Grid (NGRID) contends "LED lighting is fairly new in the industry and at some point we may offer LED lighting ...." How many cities does it take for NGRID to change a light bulb? My database lists 1,032 in every state except West Virginia, all Canadian territories and provinces and 70 countries. LA has installed more than 58,000 LED street lights, Seattle saved more than $250,000 last year by installing more than 5,000. - Letter from teacher: We work 100 percent of day
