Mailbag

To The Editor:
   I write this letter to express my disgust with the tactics of candidate Julian Schreibman and the group of henchmen who take financial responsibility for the mailers that have been sent to the residents of the 19th Congressional District regarding Congressman Chris Gibson.

To the Editor:
Elections have consequences.  That is why I am urging everyone reading the CMN to elect Julian Schreibman to Congress.  Julian will support policies that will help our community.  He believes women have the right to make health care decisions without government interference.  He believes Medicare should not be turned into a voucher program.  He believes everyone should pay their ‘fair share’ of taxes.

To The Editor:
Running for Delaware County Judge has been a humbling experience.  From the moment I declared my intentions to run I have been blessed with support from family, friends, neighbors and clients all freely giving of their time, money and talents.  Never in my wildest dreams did I envision walking down Main Street Margaretville to the kind of cheers we received during the Margaretville Fire Department’s 125th Anniversary parade in July.

To The Editor:
October is Spina Bifida Awareness Month. Spina bifida is the most common permanently disabling birth defect, affecting about one out of every 1,000 newborns in the United States.

What is spina bifida? It’s a birth defect that results in the spinal cord protruding from a baby’s back. The back can be surgically closed before or after birth, but damage to the spinal cord can cause paralysis, hydrocephalus (fluid on the brain), bowel and bladder issues, and other challenges.

To The Editor:
Pushing ethical limits, 15 Delaware County supervisors, without public input, have published a resolution inviting Williams Pipeline Company of Oklahoma to run a high-pressure gas pipeline through Delaware County. Oddly, this decision was made without knowing what route the pipeline will take!

To The Editor:
This letter is for county residents not living in the Town of Middletown.
Here in the Town of Middletown, we have been blessed with Gary Rosa as one of our town justices for the last 20 years. Ask yourself what would make a good county judge?  

My guess some of the qualities you would want are fairness, open minded, knowledge of the laws, the ability to listen to both sides of a case and a respect of all parties involved.  Well, if these are some of the same qualities you would look for in a county judge, and then I just described Gary Rosa.  

To The Editor:
Thank you, thank you, thank you to the Good Samaritan who took the time to take my purse back into Freshtown last Thursday.

I had carelessly left it in the cart when I left the store. Your caring and thoughtfulness are certainly very much appreciated by me.
Please know how grateful and thankful I am to this Good Samaritan.

Barbara Finch,
Margaretville

The Adirondacks have one; the Green Mountains have one; the Appalachians have one, and now we in the Catskills have one: our own hiking and outdoor club – The Catskill Mountain Club!
Formed in 2004, after our first annual Lark in the Park celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Catskill Park, we’re seeing interest build in outdoor activities not only in the park but also throughout our entire Catskill Region of six and-a-half (half of Albany) counties.

To The Editor,
On November 6, the position of Delaware County Judge will be up for election. This is to call attention to facts which voters should be aware of when making their decision.
