Liz Brown: Support for Palestinians is not antisemitism
05-06-2025 4:12 PM

I trust I was not the only Greenfield Recorder reader who was taken aback by the headline on the May 1 front page (“Antisemitic incidents remain up”) accompanied by a photograph of a pro-Palestinian encampment at Emerson College. Conflating these students’ actions with antisemitism is precisely what the Trump administration wants, but it is not the truth. People like RumaysaOsturk, Mahmoud Khalil, and Mohsen Mahdawi who express concern over Israel’s ongoing violence against Palestinian civilians are not antisemites. This regrettable placement of the photo and that headline warrants a correction by the paper or at least a commitment to do better in the future.

Holly Lankowski: Wolfram has a plan
05-01-2025 1:24 PM

I have lived in Deerfield since 1977. Over the years we have had some hurdles with funding projects and lining up priorities. We seem to jump around with what order we have for town projects. We need a plan for all town projects, not just the campus center. We have some terrific new staff at the Town Hall. We need to focus on our needs to develop long-range goals of what we expect to accomplish in 5, 10, and 15 years. We need to use their expertise to guide us forward.

Joseph Podlesny: Tim Hilchey for Select Board
04-30-2025 11:55 AM

Regarding the upcoming election for Select Board in Deerfield, and in response to a public statement seeking to make one particular claim tying tax increases to Select Board members. The Select Board doesn’t raise taxes. The citizens vote at Town Meeting to approve projects, like the sewer plant and the library- that raise taxes. Housing values have skyrocketed in the past 5 years which has increased taxes, while the Select Board has actually reduced the tax rate. To imply that one Select Board member is responsible for tax increases is perhaps not a completely informed suggestion. I’ve also learned that Tim Hilchey has assisted in bringing in millions of dollars in grants to pay for much needed improvements to the sidewalks which everyone was complaining about, a beautiful parking lot with high speed EV chargers which bring people to town who spend their money while waiting to charge their EV, and worked tirelessly to get money to rehab the old senior center to make new town offices without spending any local tax dollars. Tim has shown himself to be resourceful and hard working for our town. To blame him for tax increases is a false argument, and does not do justice to a man who has done so much for our town. To quote Tim Hilchey: “I’m a guy who likes to get things done, and I enjoy it.” OK, sounds good to me. And just to be clear — I am grateful that we have two good candidates to choose from, both of whom have served the community. We live in a great place here, and it’s great to see more and more citizens interested and involved.


Joanne Carney: David Wolfram for Select Board
04-30-2025 11:55 AM

A vote for David Wolfram for Deerfield selectman is a vote for confidence. Confidence in accountability, commitment, courage and strong leadership. Town leaders have significant responsibilities and make decisions that are in the best interests of residents. Dave Wolfram has the history, and proven leadership, as a lifelong Deerfield resident, Frontier Regional School alum and class president, former police officer, EMT, volunteer firefighter and 9-year member of the Deerfield Selectboard. Experienced in preserving the town’s quality of life, he will focus on schools, community projects and senior support while conserving town resources with fiscal stability. Respect for diversity in both his personal and community experience allows for public inclusion on decision making. Life is about making good decisions. A vote for Dave Wolfram on May 5 is a vote for confidence and strong leadership.


Cathy Bertinuson: Tim Hilchey — Moving Deerfield forward, saving money
04-29-2025 11:25 AM

I am writing in support of Tim Hilchey’s re-election to the Deerfield Select Board. In addition to his selectboard seat, Tim has a history of service to our town, including participating in the Community Preservation Committee, South County EMS Oversight Board, Medical Reserve Corps, and Friends of Deerfield 350th fundraiser. As a selectman, he has worked tirelessly for the people of Deerfield, even donating his own physical labor! In tough financial times he has fought for state and federal funds, including almost $3 million to fund the Leary Lot and EV Charger Project— at no cost to the town.


Robert J. Decker: David Wolfram a leader Deerfield needs
04-29-2025 11:25 AM

For many years, I have been an active member on various boards and committees that helped “run” the town of Deerfield. My professional job and my volunteer Deerfield committee work has helped me realize the importance for voting David Wolfram as a Selectboard member. He is a no nonsense person, does not believe in smoke and mirrors, and has plain common sense with full transparency.

Grace Evangelista: Wolfram values doing what’s right for community
04-27-2025 8:21 AM

Hi everyone! I’ve been hearing some talk about my stepdad, David Wolfram, who’s running for the Selectboard, and I wanted to take a moment to clear a few things up. First and foremost, he is very supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. It’s honestly hurtful to hear otherwise, especially since we have close family members who are part of that community. This is something he deeply respects and stands by.
