As I See It- Constituents Lose in Senate Power Struggle
Wednesday, June 17 2009
In all the many years I’ve covered government, I have naively, apparently, clung to the idea that the first obligation public officials have is to their constituents. I suppose the past week of antics in the state Senate further re-inforces my naiveté. The resolution of important issues has taken a backseat to petty politics and the seemingly never-ending power grab in Albany.

Publicity Earns Society $850

To the Editor:
Several weeks ago, your paper ran an article relative to the Roe
Cobblestone School that we are in the process of restoring. We had
three early historic maps donated to the Butler Historical Society for
us to sell. Your article gained us sales of the Wayne County 1828 map
and the Cayuga-Seneca 1829 map for a total of $350 and we are very
grateful for that help.

Prevent Elder Abuse
Wednesday, June 17 2009
To the Editor:
Together, we have the power to prevent elder abuse.
This is the 2009 theme for the National Center on Elder Abuse. World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is observed annually on June 15.
The older population in America is continuing to grow and will burgeon
between the years 2010 and 2030 when the “baby boom” generation reaches
age 65. Seniors are living longer, but not necessarily better.
Potential declines in cognitive and physical functions could make them
more vulnerable to victimization. Elder abuse can happen to anyone – a
loved one, a neighbor, and when we are old enough, it can even happen
to us. (National Center on Elder Abuse-NCEA).

Obama Not Responsible for Mess
Wednesday, June 17 2009
To the Editor:
Jeff Hayes, in a letter last week to the Post Herald, regurgitated the
talking points of Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh and the fact-free
faction of the conservative movement. First, the fact that President
Bush was the one that started the TARP program seems to have escaped
Mr. Hayes’ notice, which begins to illuminate lack of accurate
information gleaned from Fox “News” and right wing talk radio.
President Obama has, I think foolishly, continued the outrageous Henry
Paulson plan of forking over billions to the “too big to fail”
institutions like Morgan Stanley and of course Goldman Sacks.
