Tomorrow is Election Day.
While there are hundreds of county residents who have taken part in either early voting or cast an absentee ballot, Tuesday is the day when the majority of local residents will go to the polls to cast their ballot for town, city and county offices.

                        Cruelty Is A Feature Of Current Administration
To The Reader’s Forum:
Proverbs 11:17 tells us that, “A man who is kind benefits himself but a cruel man hurts himself”
Additionally, a cruel administration hurts the millions of people they are tasked with protecting.  Do we have ...
                        
                    
                    	                                    
                    
                                                                        
                        
                        Preparing for this weekend’s garage sale, I came across a canvas bag I hadn’t seen in years. It was filled with pinecones. Giant Sequoia pinecones. Some of these babies are almost a foot long, and my memory of first seeing them goes back to 1949.  
1949? Yes, I was alive then – and out ...
                        
                    
                    	                                        
                                        
                    
                                                                        
                        
                        Given the tremendous change and angst we are seeing in the world today, you might wonder why I’ve chosen to write about such an insignificant topic as salt. But that’s precisely why I’m writing about it. Now is not the time to lose our wonder about the world, or to lose our curiosity.  In ...
                        
                    
                    	                                    
                    
                                                                        
                        
                         “These days I’m up about the time I used to go to bed
 Living large was once the deal, now I watch the stars instead
 They’re timeless and predictable, unlike most things that I do
 But I’d tell the wind and my old friend, I’m headed home to you.”
These are the lyrics of ...
                        
                    
                    	                                    
                    
                                                                        
                        
                        There aren’t enough contested races countywide to change control of the Chautauqua County Legislature. But Jamestown voters can vote on Tuesday to change the way the legislature relates to its two biggest cities. It’s a change that, in our opinion, is much needed. 
We noted a couple of ...
