Letter To The Editor – Dirty Politics In New Lebanon?

By

Dear Editor,
I am writing first, to thank your paper and Thaddeus Flint for the well written article concerning the dismissal of our Deputy Town Supervisor in New Lebanon.
Secondly, I am writing because I hope for the residents of New Lebanon to see via your article the seriousness of what the former Deputy Supervisor, Candidate Mike Benson and LVBA [Lebanon Valley Business Association] Chair, Fiona Lally, actually DID!
This attempted “coup” against our incumbent Supervisor was the ultimate example of dirty politics. The weak excuses of those involved were just that, weak excuses. The goal was to undermine our present Supervisor, win Hannaford back to Town and give the glory to candidate Benson, which in turn would have won him more votes.

Venison For Vultures

Turkey Vultures Are Gentle
by David Flint
According to the Turkey Vulture Society (vulturesociety.homestead.com) the Turkey Vulture is a gentle and non-aggressive bird that has often gotten a bad rap. They generally do not kill anything, do not spread disease and will not hurt your pets or children. They roost in large community groups but forage independently during the day. They easily and gracefully soar on thermal updrafts and have both a keen eyesight and a highly developed sense of smell.
