Emotions overflow on a regular basis when it comes to water in Fredonia. In recent years, an immediacy caused by 10 boil orders over the last 38 months has led current Village Board members to look to a connection with the North County Water District as a solution. That does not sit well with ...
Formed in 1949, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s original purpose was to provide collective security against Soviet aggression, deter Soviet expansionism in Europe, and prevent the revival of German militarism.

Is it finally Spring? I think Mother Nature might have made up her mind. She has been sort of a brat about it: “Oh let’s give them a nice day that soars above 78 degrees but plunges them down to 19 overnight. And tomorrow, bright sunshine but keep it at a high of 36.

I still have both boots and flip-flops by the front door. I don’t understand how the daffodils and jonquils have put up with it. ...
Democrats spend so much time blustering about fair elections, we had assumed they actually believed in the concept. They proved last month they do not. That is when the state’s Public Campaign Finance Board chose to deny the application filed by Bruce Blakeman, Republican candidate for governor, to receive six-to-one public matching funds for individual campaign donations up to $250. Were the application fundamentally flawed, we could see denying the application. But that’s not what happened here.

Editor, OBSERVER: We just lost our beloved “Pepsi.” She was a Golden Retriever/Yellow Lab mix. Her owner, a friend, moved to an apartment that didn’t allow large dogs.

It tells how we felt about ...
