Show The Mayor Your Displeasure
      Dear Editor, I have never seen the Rockaway community in such agreement as I have regarding the proposed YMCA. The community, the Community Board and virtually every elected official from the City Council to the United States Senate has raised his or her voice to the Mayor that the YMCA as planne...

In Defense Of George And Abe
      Dear Editor, Last week, the nation celebrated President's Day Weekend to honor George as Father and Defender and Abraham as Savior and Emancipator of the Nation.

Sad Commentary On Political Pork
      Dear Editor, Once again, our Rockaway Democratic representatives have let us down. We should all move to Staten Island, for they get more than their fair share of services. Free ferry service, even though there is now a bridge; numerous express buses; a new fishing pier, just to name a few.

Best Wishes In Bad Times
      Dear Editor, Can you please sponsor a discussion about how the recession is hitting the Rockaways? Surely, we have many victims of the subprime swindle. But we also pay higher gas prices, our kids don't have the recreational facilities promised to us, our delinquency soars.

Key Point For Barack To Make
      Dear Editor, Key points to be made by Barack in a must answer to Hillary before Texas and Ohio. 1) Hillary was not just a Republican in her Illinois days, but worked for Richard Nixon; 2) In the 1993 NAFTA hit against American workers, which Reagan/Bush I failed to get through Congress, and to wh...
