The Independent Clause
Stow Independent Annual Holiday Break! With both Christmas and New Year’s Day falling on Wednesdays this year, we will not publish a print paper either Dec. 25 or Jan 1. We will, however, run a limited online edition on Jan. 3, 2014. If there is any major breaking news during the holiday print break, we…
The Independent Clause
I heard on the news today that if you have leftover turkey, it’s about had its time and needs to be consumed quickly or tossed. I thought, we have a whole lot of eating to do tonight. Why is it that there is never any problem with the pies or breads or cookies going bad?…
The Independent Clause
Ok, who’s the joker that changed the calendar? Very funny, but now can you put January back where it belongs and bring November back? Or maybe you just changed the years and we’ve gone back to the 70s when this was more typical November weather? I really don’t want to go back to the 70s. I’ve…

Alrighty, I think I’m all set with this whole winter time dark and freezing cold weather now. That was fun, and now I would like it to be spring please.

Tucked inside this week’s edition, you’ll find the Town Meeting Warrant, distributed to the entire town through this week’s paper. Town Meeting is this coming Monday, October 28 at 7pm at Hale Middle School. There are some very interesting articles on the warrant requiring town input to make decisions regarding things like the look, feel…
The Independent Clause
Now that Columbus Day weekend has passed, the holidays are next on the agenda. We’re already seeing bits and pieces here in the paper and certain Big Box stores have had their Christmas merchandise out for several weeks now. Good grief do I hate that. The “season” isn’t now, weeks before Halloween candy has been…
