Letter: Kudos to the Hawthorne Hotel

Anonymous The Salem News The Salem News Tue Nov 27, 2012, 03:00 AM EST

To the editor:

I just want to say bravo to Juli Lederhaus and the Hawthorne Hotel staff in general for helping the Boys & Girls Club replace the stolen TVs and for being good to the people of Salem. How anyone could steal anything from such a wonderful organization helping Salem youths with their excellent programming is baffling to me.

I have my own reasons to be grateful to the Hawthorne Hotel, as well. As a former resident of 98 Washington Square displaced due to the fire of March 2011, the hotel put many of us up that night at a drastically reduced rate and did anything they could to make us feel comfortable.

Thank you again, Hawthorne Hotel, for your community support and caring.

Happy holidays and thank you for all of your wonderful Christmas activities and decorations!

Anderson: Draining the swamp

I've never been audited by the IRS. Maybe the secret is to not have enough money to justify its effort. Citizens for Limited Taxation, being purely and proudly political, isn't a tax-exempt organization. In April 1983, we did create a research-educat

Letter: Sometimes a poet is needed

To the editor: Sometimes newspapers have to call on the impossible. Reporting is not enough, however true. The fabulous coming together of the Boston Marathon, terrorism, celebration, joy and death call for a great poet. We wait for the miracle that

Our view: Feds must hold Commerce to law on fishery aid

Disappointing, embarrassing, offensive -- all of those words can be applied to the fact that White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett largely ignored Gov. Deval Patrick's call for executive action to overturn the dire NOAA limit cuts now threatenin
