LETTER from P. JAY FLEISHER Trust Science On Climate Change To the Editor: Science reveals the truth about many things and can be trusted. It explains things we take for granted, such as why the seasons change, why flowers blossom in the spring and leaves fall at the end of summer, and even why water runs downhill.

LETTER from ROGER MacMILLAN MacMILLAN: Limit Flagpole To Stars, Stripes To the Editor: The citizens of this village owe you a huge debt of gratitude for last week’s editorial!

Another future issue will be flying the Rainbow Flag on the village flagpole. That proposal is outrageous. That flagpole should…

LETTER from RICK HULSE Sr. HULSE: Village Trustees Urged – Listen To the Editor: “Because they can” Cooperstown is someplace, not anyplace. As residents read in last week’s editorial about running for a seat on the Village Board, the reasons to do so are clear.
