Letters to the Editor Policy
 

  • The word-count limit for letters is 350, including signatures (with exceptions at the discretion of the editor).
  • Letters may be edited for length, style, and clarity.
  • Email letters to editor@harvardpress.net with “Letter to the Editor” in the subject line, or send by regular mail to Editor, The Harvard Press, P.O. Box 284, Harvard, MA 01451. Deadline is 5 p.m. Tuesday to be included in that Friday's edition.
  • Letters should include your name, address, and phone number. Phone numbers and house numbers will not be printed; they are used only for verification.
  • We will not print anonymous letters, form letters, blanket-mail letters, or letters that we consider libelous.
  • We will not print more than one letter from the same person in any given week.
  • Letters must be signed by individuals; we do not accept group names as signatures. Up to four people may sign a letter on behalf of a group; all must provide addresses and phone numbers.
  • During contests for public office, we will not publish endorsement letters the Friday before an election. Based on space availability, we may limit the number of endorsement letters in a given week, but will strive to print a balanced representation of letters received. We will not publish negative letters about any candidate.
  • All letters may be read online by Harvard Press subscribers who are logged-on registered users of the website.

A thank-you to DPW for clearing the roads

by Libby Levison  ·   Friday, February 6, 2026

I was very pleasantly surprised when, at 11 p.m. on Jan. 29, a DPW backhoe went down Old Shirley Road, scraped the snow from the sides, and widened the road by a good 4 feet on each side. I was even more pleasantly surprised when 20 minutes later a truck with a plow came down the road and cleared the ridge of snow from each of my and my neighbors’ driveways.

Thanks to DPW staff who worked through the storm and nights last week for the attention to detail and clearing the roads.

Libby Levison, Old Shirley Road
