Column: Rod, Gun and Game: Birds Make the World a Sweeter Place
The soundtrack of backyard birds can offer astonishing enjoyment over a quiet cup of coffee wherever you might be, on any day of the year…be it a main street coffee shop or your snow-shoveled backyard deck. Many birds offer a soundtrack melody with variations so profound that the same bird might sound like a different species from time to time. […]

Letter to the Editor: Wellness Center is Positive Element to Moog Management
Dear Editor, I joined Moog Inc. in 1962 and from 1970 to 1985 served as its Controller. I was impressed to read of its “In Health Wellness Center” program which was reported on in the paper’s Jan. 20 issue. Moog’s current management deserves to be praised for its leadership. It should inspire the management of other large firms in the […]

Dear Editor, Sedition [səˈdiSH(ə)n] NOUN conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch.

Letter to the Editor: Liberals Ignore the Real News Happening in Canada
Dear Editor, Oh Judy Judy Judy, I have been sadly amused at many of the weekly editorials from you and your fellow radical left editorialists and have refused to address them and give them any undue credit.

Letter to the Editor: School Board is Closing Out the People
Dear Editor, The East Aurora School Board has shown their hand repeatedly this school year, trying to silence the voices of community members at their meetings. Since July 1, 2021, only 50 percent of regular board meetings have been held in-person, as scheduled. Meetings have been postponed or canceled with no real reasoning and even relocated due to an unexplained […]
Column: Mightier than the Sword: Is this Title Included in the Word Count?
Let’s talk numbers. Why numbers? Shouldn’t we leave that to the bankers, accountants, stockbrokers, analysts, statisticians, pollsters, mathematicians, card counters and pyramid schemesters? It would certainly seem appropriate to leave the topic of numbers to the number crunchers and money grubbers, but believe it or not, numbers do have a place in writing—a sometimes boring, seldom-discussed place, but a place […]
