What’s The Status Of Airport Feasibility Study?

To The Reader’s Forum: On January 25, 2023, The Post-Journal published an article regarding funding another study to try to resurrect a commercial air service for Jamestown.(IDA Providing Partial Funding for Airport Study). Has anyone seen any follow-up to this article? Was the additional $50,000 ever obtained? Was the study funded? If so, where are the results? If not, I suspect we have appropriately given up trying to “fly in the face of unsustainable headwinds” (I.e., economic infeasibility) Fred L Cohen Jamestown

Greenhurst Residents Express Wetland Regulation Concerns

To The Reader’s Forum: Dear Governor Hochul, As full-time lakefront property owners, we are writing in response to the proposed “wetlands” designation of the Chautauqua Lake Southern Basin. We firmly oppose this proposal. Who will be affected should this proposal pass? - Over 1,300 lakefront property owners (and thousands more “lake rights” residents) who assumed their lake was recreational - Property values will plummet and lake use will be limited - Multiple lakefront businesses and organizations will suffer, including, but not limited to: - A new 135 room, ...

May We Understand That All Life Is Valuable

To The Reader’s Forum: Those who advocate abortion act as though it is a lifestyle - a mindset - and they will use any tactic to deceive others into thinking it’s simply a “glob of tissue,” not a human being, not a child with an eternal soul. This is what happens when society denies God and His will for life. Sin knows no end, and Satan will fight relentlessly to stop losing any ground that he’s gained. (Sin deceives and hardens the heart). (It keeps people from seeing just how great an atrocity abortion truly is). May we seek to have hearts that are tender and guided by ...

Things Have Changed In A Few Short Weeks

To The Reader’s Forum: The state of the 2024 presidential election has changed since President Biden decided to drop his candidacy for president. There has been a tremendous surge for the Democrats in naming Kamala Harris (current VP) and Tim Walz (Governor of Minnesota) as their candidates for President and Vice President, respectively. Even though I planned to vote for Biden, the changes are welcome because of their youth and energy! On the Republican side, Trump is now the oldest candidate and JD Vance are, well, not suited for the jobs. Trump has 34 convictions for fraud, is ...

Who Are We To Judge?

To The Reader’s Forum: In recent weeks, there have been guest essays in the P-J delineating the sins of Donald Trump. Who are we to judge another person? Do we know the heart of any one else? Only God knows our true heart. Only God knows who has or hasn’t been reconciled to Him! If you read and understand the Bible I think you will find more than a few grievous sinners who repented and became great Saints! Donald Trump may or may not have read the Bible; how are we to know? He might not know chapter and verse but he does know compassion. He does have respect for life from ...

Pity The Poor White American Male

To The Reader’s Forum: In his latest nonsensical diatribe on the Trump assassination attempt, Mel McGinnis included the quote “Why so many female agents?” His response was the predictable diversity, equity, and inclusion. How dare women challenge undeserved male dominance! The question that should be asked is why there are so many male agents? All Mel has to do is look around and notice that more than half of the people around him are female. One might ask why so many male assassins? Why are there so many male mass murderers? Why so many male sexual predators, ...
