Letters to the Editor

READER LETTER: A thank you to Thiel benefit contributors

The spaghetti dinner benefit for Alicia Thiel Tuesday evening was a huge success. At the end of the evening, we cleared over $6,000 from 625 spaghetti dinner tickets, the basket raffle, the Team Alicia T-shirts, chip sales and donations.

  • READER LETTER: Maziarz proposed gas tax cut irresponsible
    The gas holiday proposed by state Sen. George Maziarz and the Republican Senate is nothing more than meaningless, irresponsible lip service. By cutting the gas tax now, even for a short time, many highway reconstruction projects that are needed would not be funded.

  • READER LETTER: Remembering FAST during May
    Every 45 seconds, someone in the United States has a stroke. Stroke kills twice as many women as breast cancer every year. Despite being the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of adult disability in this country, fewer than one in five Americans can recognize a symptom of a stroke.

  • READER LETTER: Republicans — OIL — Democrats
    I came across an interesting article concerning the gas prices from which barrels of oil are the resources. The Investor’s Business Daily, May 19, article started: “With the price of oil spiking above $127 a barrel, the search for scapegoats has begun. Some point to the Saudis, OPEC’s No. 1 producer. Others blame the oil companies. We have a better candidate: Congress.”

  • READER LETTER: Wind energy not all bad
    This is written in response to Thom Jennings’ article, “Generating winds of change,” in Thursday’s, May 22, paper.

  • READER LETTER: In support of Powers
    As I was pumping gas today at the KK Service Station in Clarendon ($4.01 per gallon!), I was reminded — once again — of how the war in Iraq is really hitting me hard in the wallet. The war has been a huge factor in the weakening of what used to be a strong US dollar. The war diverts much-needed funding from development of alternative energy and conservation technologies.

  • READER LETTER: A brother’s perspective
    Having read the recent articles about my sister Rosalind Lind’s candidacy for the school board I was inspired to say a few words on her behalf. While I must admit this is a bit personal for me, I think it is important for the public to know something of her quality and character.

  • READER LETTER: Fuel and taxes
    Currently, the federal, state and local governments are floating the idea of eliminating tax on gas for the summer months. We don’t need a temporary band-aid to fix the price of fuel, we need a long-term solution.

  • READER LETTER: Lind has done homework, is committed
    The voters of the Medina Central School District have an opportunity to elect a new member to the Board of Education on Tuesday. Someone who has done her homework!

  • READER LETTER: Gas tax holiday should be permanent
    Many people use the term “obscene profits” in regard to oil companies. I’m wondering ... in a capitalist system, just what is an obscene profit? There are roughly 6.5 billion people on the earth. Most of them use crude oil products in one way or another.
