from Paul Lord At Fly Creek ‘Phil,’ Youth, Beauty, Strength Evident To the Editor: As a deaf guy, I don’t attend many musical performances. They are largely exercises in frustration for me.

from Danny Lapin RSS Housing Project Not Right For Oneonta To the Editor: The proposed housing project by Rehabilitation Support Services (RSS) of Altamont in Oneonta’s Sixth Ward is a flawed development. RSS wants taxpayers to pay for it; they trying to circumvent public input and they’re using strong-arm tactics to get approval to start construction. Therefore, I oppose it.
