LETTER from JEANNE DEWEY Reelect Democratic Slate In Village To the Editor, Our world has changed significantly since March 18, 2020, when the Cooperstown village elections were originally scheduled. Until last month the Village Board was unable to meet in person, due to the pandemic, so monthly meetings took place via Zoom and were streamed live on the village website.

GUEST COLUMN from TERRY BERKSON Whistling Woodchucks! Back Again Not that they ever left. They just take a long winter nap while their heartbeat slows from 80 to an incredible five beats per minute and their body temperature drops from 99 to 37 degrees. Punxsutawney Phil projects a good productive image with his weather predictions but Digger Dan, the name I give to the critter whose been tunneling into my barn every year, is another story.

LETTER from P. JAY FLEISHER Vote In Election ’20 To the Editor: America is on the brink of an election that will have serious implications for the future of our Country, and indeed our democracy.
