Professor’s column was ‘nonsense’ Editor, OBSERVER: I’ve seen Stephen Kershnar’s photo appear on the Editorial page of the OBSERVER in the past. However, until Nov. 18, I’ve never read one of his “commentaries.” I’m being told that this promotion of conspiracy theories ...

Editor, OBSERVER: I’d like to respond to a recent letter that noted, “vote your conscience and faith” (Oct. 31). Professing to be pro-life is more then being against abortion; it is believing in the right to life “from womb to tomb.” Is it pro-life to allow a baby to be born, then ...
Editor, OBSERVER: We are in trouble as a nation regardless of who wins this election. For too long we’ve been saddled with red and blue politicians who resemble hogs with two snouts, enriching themselves at the public trough. We must start the process of installing term limits for every ...
Motorists unsure at traffic circle Editor, OBSERVER: I think the roundabout in Fredonia may be a good idea in the long run, but people still don’t know how to properly use it. If going straight when your turn please leave room for those turning right at first entry so that person ...
Are we really discontent with Congress? Editor, OBSERVER: If you are satisfied with the job Congress is doing, you should probably stop reading this. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. Do you realize that, despite ...

Proposals needed in COVID fight Editor, OBSERVER: More than 200,000 people in our country have died from COVID-19, and the financial consequences of the pandemic reach far beyond that. The emergency relief package “HEROES 2.0” was released by the House of Representatives on Sept. 29. ...

Nursing homes are doing their best Editor, OBSERVER My mom is a resident at the Chautauqua Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Like many other residents’ families, I have not seen her since February. A recent protest at this facility doesn’t seem to be very constructive, as the ...
Service after attacks took toll on many Editor, OBSERVER: As the 19th anniversary of the 9-11 terrorist attacks on America passes, it is with a somber heart I remember that day and the days and months following. As a member of the New York State Police, like so many of my brothers and ...
Editor, OBSERVER: Is anyone asking this question: what happened to our water supply? Fredonia in the past enjoyed the best tasting water, year after year. With the absence of the Carriage House, the demand on the water has drastically decreased, so you can’t blame the warm summer. ...
