To the editor: Canceled blood drives, due to COVID-19, are causing a decrease in donations that has affected the local blood supply. Of course, the need for blood has not decreased, so I was happy to see an event hosted by the Bloomingdale Volunteer Fire Department scheduled for May 26. ...

To the editor: So I recently got word that I won the award for best arts reporting from the New York News Publishers Association. I would love to gloat, but ya’ll don’t want to hear that. Instead I’ll skip right to showing my appreciation for arts. This pandemic sucks, and it has ...

To the editor:   1. To symbolically apologize to every woman who he has demeaned, intimidated, forcibly touched and silenced.  2. To block some of the sound vibrations coming from his mouth, so the world can hear a little less rambling and vitriol. 3. Because migrants — many of ...

To the editor: I am writing this as a man who was sexually harassed for six months by a female college professor when I was a 25-year-old graduate student. She had the power to determine whether or not I would receive my degree. It finally ended when another female professor, for whom I ...

To the editor: It sure feels like summer is already here on Moody Pond. With Adirondackers seeking refuge from the COVID-19 pandemic outdoors, it has been the busiest spring in memory and will likely be the busiest summer ever. As a year-round resident, several times-a-day walker and ...

To the editor: We are community of passion. One that rallies around building community gardens, supplying and staffing bake sales and doing our part for volunteer-run organizations. All of them. We help pay our neighbors’ hospital bills when they need it. Fuel the meal train when a ...

To the editor: If you look around the world far and near, it is obvious that we are in trouble and need to change course. Leadership has never been more important than during the global health crisis of COVID-19. Dysfunction and incompetence in the Trump administration’s preparedness and ...

To the editor: Voting by mail should replace voting at the polls in its entirety. The two institutions that can definitely be trusted are the county board of elections and the United States Postal Service. The money saved by eliminating the need for poll workers could be used to offer free ...

To the editor: I thought about Mr. Doolittle’s column and whether it will turn out that “if the pandemic can’t unite us, probably nothing can.” I do remember my grandparents referring to the “us vs. them” divide between upstate and downstate, and grumbling about those big-city ...

To the editor: I fought off a spasm of nausea a couple of mornings ago, listening to a National Public Radio news reporter talk about the lack of federal funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. In this latest example, the Trump administration has thus far refused funding ...

To the editor: Reading Bob Seidenstein’s column on his childhood sugar addiction reminded me of my own visits to the candy store when I was in grade school. A dime could buy a lot in those days, but I still couldn’t afford to spend hastily. Much thought went into whether to get a Mars ...
