Letter from Susan M. Straub Vets Urged To Hold More Activities Why doesn’t the Cooperstown American Legion/Vets Club do more events? We would love to participate. It seems, sadly, that those men and women are over the age of 70 and cannot do as much as veterans who may have served in Afghanistan. Susan M. StraubFly Creek…

HOMETOWN HISTORY November 10, 2022 110 Years AgoA plurality of 200,000 votes for Woodrow Wilson over Taft, and Taft’s lead of 60,000 over Roosevelt, is the result of yesterday’s election in New York State so far as confirmed by nearly complete returns.

Letter from Jeanne Dewey Stefanik Does Not Put Upstate First I’m glad you’re highlighting political candidates and their positions on important issues. Having real information to base one’s vote on is key to making an informed decision at the ballot box. The problem is, candidates can say anything they want, whether it is true or false.

Letter from Mary Anne Whelan ‘I Want My Republican Party Back’ To the Editor: I am writing as a Registered Republican and in protest of Stefanik’s representation of our party.
