To the Editor: I am pleased to have incited some controversial dialogue in regard to the  detrimental effect that the questionably legitimate Donald Trump presidency is now having on the realm of true democracy. In one case I have to believe that respect is only bestowed on those deserving of it, and as President of […]

To the Editor: Forty years ago after graduating from Telstar and then college I thought it would be nice to start a business and raise a family in Bethel. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that one day I would wake up and it would be illegal to use a plastic bag but […]

To the Editor: In the last issue of your paper, dated June 6, 2019, Don Chase has now come up with a new one. Not that Mr. Chase hasn’t fostered false news in his past many letters, but this one could be the king of them all. He writes, “Nancy Pelosi, endowed with a profound […]
