FOOD FOR THOUGHT ‘Crisis Of Credibility’ Calls For New Ideas, New Leaders ‘I don’t think globalization is coming to an end. I think the global system is in crisis.

I think the White House is a discredited institution. “I’m sorry to say this because I know it’s your former employer: I think the New York Times does not…
LETTER from RICHARD STERNBERG COVID Transforming Calls For Better Understanding There is a large amount of concern about this new strain of COVID that just Monday was confirmed to have reached New York State. At this time, I keep hearing that it is more contagious than the strain we are familiar with but not more lethal. What we don’t know, and what we will have to find out, is whether it is as sensitive to the approved vaccines as the…
LETTER from ERNA MORGAN McREYNOLDS …But I Wasn’t Afraid Of ‘The Troubles’ You already know that I have been afraid to do almost everything I ever did, but that never stopped me. But then there were the times when I should have been afraid but wasn’t. Why did I think I could head off around the world at 21? Emigrate to New Zealand from a small Upstate dairy farm?

But I can and do promise you that I…
LETTER from ANITA LEMONIS Treat All Writers With Respect To the Editor: As a former long-time resident of Otsego County, I still appreciate our community’s hospital workers, responsible gun owners and polite neighbors – even when we don’t always agree. Unfortunately, these are things Rick Brockway doesn’t seem to understand or appreciate. I was struck by the angry and personal tone in one of Brockway’s latest rants when he attacked long-serving public health providers, including Mary Ann Whelan, for recognizing…
LETTER from R. SCOTT DUNCAN Quality Of Food Goes Back To Soil’s Quality To the Editor: Vitamins, minerals, and other supplements – there are numbers of people who say you should take vitamins. Vitamin C for tissue repair, A for healthy skin, B for stress, E for women over 40, and a very popular one today – Vitamin D for overall health. But the cost of the vitamins keeps getting higher and higher. A men’s multivitamin today will cost well…

LETTER from DAN BUTTERMANN Bill Magee Set Example That Others Can Follow To the Editor: Thank you Bill Magee. I join community members across Upstate New York – friends and colleagues alike – to say: We will all miss Bill Magee. His service to our communities was a lifelong passion and commitment. He worked across the political spectrum to deliver for his district and he did it without the fanfare many politicians expect to receive. He did it by acting…
