Massena Town Beach not accessible
Wednesday, June 8, 2011 - 12:53 pm
Do village or town taxes help keep Massena's Town Beach open? It's 90 degrees out. It's gates are locked all the time...people are parking everywhere and I don't blame them, they want to picnic, they want to swim, they are there with their families. What gives? If it's paid for in taxes it should be open. Memorial Day weekend I rode by on my bike, at suppertime, closed. In Malone, if you were a resident of the area, you got in free at Meacham. Here, not only are you supposed to pay but good luck finding it open. Who’s responsible for the poor decision making in regards to this?

More consideration for elderly shoppers needed
Wednesday, June 8, 2011 - 12:50 pm
To the Editor:
I am a residence of Mayfield Apartments. My 84-year-old mother also lives there along with many other seniors.
At some point, we all find ourselves having trouble getting around. When I take my mom to Walmart, she has to sit in the benches provided by Walmart at the front of the store. It is great that they do provide the benches, but when she wants to go to the back of the store to look at something, she can’t do so because she can’t walk the whole store without resting.

Thank you BOCES

In response to “BOCES Study Slanted,” (Sound Off, May 25-31) you should be ashamed of yourself! You obviously do not have complete knowledge of the variety of programs BOCES offers and how valuable they are to our youth. Speaking as a mother of a child with a disability, please, tell me where “in the community” are individualized educational services offered to children with autism?

Not just jobs, but people
Wednesday, June 8, 2011 - 12:48 pm
I’m getting really tired of people suggesting that area businesses and schools cut positions to save money, such as the person who suggested cutting a principal from Norwood-Norfolk Central School. I could see lowering the salaries a bit for all three principals, or maybe putting a salary cap on them, but I personally have a hard time stomaching getting rid of a position completely. Did you ever stop to think that this is a person who probably has a family and mouths to feed rather than just a position?
