Dear Editor, A very sincere thanks to the supporters of St. Francis and the Charles F. Heeran Foundation.  Unfortunately, we have lost a lot of good people to age and sickness that were with us in the beginning, but we continue to honor our fallen heroes. This year we...

Dear Editor, I don’t have to tell you that we are being crushed by taxes and by the rising cost of housing, utilities, groceries, insurance, and virtually everything else. Families should not have to choose between paying their bills and leaving the state they call...

Dear Editor, I am happy to say because of your support, St. Camillus Church is literally getting brighter and more alive. Thank you to those who continue to join us in creating a faithful community by attending the Sunday 11:30 a.m. Mass and all the special First...

Dear Editor: I admire retired Colonel Tom Sullivan’s humility, especially after his four tours of duty serving our country. He rarely uses his time serving our country as a reason why he should be our next NYS Assemblyman. I personally believe that anyone who would...
