To the Editor: An African proverb “It takes a village to raise a child,” states best of how our community comes together to assist our area children returning to school. Trying to equip each student with the necessary tools to start the new school year can be challenging. But once again, our community, “our […] 
To the Editor: I sit down to write this letter having just tucked my children into bed. It was already late, so I made my youngest close her book and turn off her light. I reminded her of the fun things she would get to do in the morning. I sang her a lullaby, […] 
To the Editor: Madison County Clerk Mike Keville announced that the Madison County DMV will be closed on June 25, 2019, due to the primary election taking place that day. He cites election reforms recently passed by the NYS Legislature that give workers up to three hours of paid time off as the reason for […]
Supports abortion bans To the Editor: Life begins at the point of conception. No one can deny that after a human being is conceived, it will develop into the very same being as those debating this issue. What astounds me is that those who favor abortion went through an identical development stage as the […]
To the Editor: “I work for the residents” is how Randy Weaver described his job with the village of Hamilton. On April 30, Randy retired from his position as crew chief for the village of Hamilton Department of Public Works and as a part-time Hamilton police officer. How often have residents and visitors stood […]
A letter to my Irish mother Dear Mom: Today we would have celebrated your 85th birthday and perhaps as many as 10 more if you had not been misled by your surgeon. As much as I am sorry for the unnecessary suffering you had to endure for the remaining nine months of your life, […]
To the Editor: Interstate 81 serves as a vital backbone for the economy of Onondaga County and, for decades, it has been an economic driver for the many towns and businesses that have grown around it. Recently, representatives of 11 hotels located along Interstate 81 sent a letter to Governor Andrew Cuomo expressing our concerns about what a grid-only solution […]
To the Editor: Conservatives are supposed to be rational and level headed but that is not always the case. Let me tell you my story and decide for yourself. New York state has changed its election law and now requires all political parties to collect nominating petitions in March. So, with this change, […]
To the Editor: Unless the State Legislature acts, Governor Cuomo’s proposed state budget, coupled with the loss of federal matching funds, will mean New York’s hospitals and nursing homes will lose over $1 billion in Medicaid funding. This is the worst the health care industry has seen in nearly 10 years. These proposed cuts […] 
To the Editor: Recently my family and I stopped for gas and snacks at a Circle K. On the window, I noticed two big tobacco signs. They were colorful and attention-grabbing. My sister saw them and asked what they were. I had to explain to my 7-year-old sister that JUUL is a vape and […] To the Editor: Whither Tom Boylan? In November 2017, Tom Boylan ran for Madison County Supervisor to represent Wards 4, 5 and 6 in the city of Oneida. I voted for Tom, and I’m a constituent. At least I think I am. Tom took office in January of 2018. His record of attendance and […] 
To the Editor: Why would a Senate majority leader block a possible veto-proof Congress from opening the government? The 800,000 people who are struggling without paychecks must be asking the same question. In my opinion, the unrealistic border wall myth is a distraction from what many of us suspect: that some Republican members of […] |
