Letters for the week of 4/4
F-M school board should follow J-D’s lead
To the editor: The Jamesville-DeWitt District recently announced that it would not be replacing an assistant superintendent who is retiring. The J-D Board of Education and administration are to be commended for this decision, given these challenging economic times, during which school districts struggle to formulate budgets that are fiscally sound and that maintain as much of the instructional program as possible. In contrast, the Fayetteville-Manlius School District recently announced the retirement of an elementary principal and advertised the vacancy in the Post-Standard classified section.

LETTERS: Manlius Mayor reflects on Whitney Houston's ‘generous spirit’
To the editor: I have been blessed to be able to build a career on a God-given talent that gives me great satisfaction every day as an artist, graphic designer and now as the Mayor of Manlius. Since 1982, I have been drawing and presenting portraits to celebrities across New York State commemorating their performances or appearances.
LETTERS: Firefighter explains use of photos
To the editor: I dislike your article, I like the photo... a lot. I am not a journalist nor should you expect a grammatically correct and perfect response. I am a firefighter, and after reading this article I must ask if you ever considered your personal argument to be considered “burning bridges.”
LETTERS: Accidents highlight dangers of poor driving on Pompey Center Road
To the editor: Pompey Center Road runs between Route 92 in Manlius and Route 80 in Fabius. It is a two-lane country road. It is gravel, pavement and paint; an inanimate non-living thing. By itself it poses no danger.

LETTERS: Door-to-door campaigning has been enjoyable
I read with interest last week’s article by Walt Shepperd, “Newbie candidate to County Legislature: Chill!” I wanted to focus on one comment made by my opponent: “Most people don’t want you to knock on their door.”
LETTERS: Manlius town board should listen to its constituents
As a life-long town of Manlius resident, who is descended from proud paternal and maternal dairy farmer grandparents and dairy farmer parents in the town, I am responding to the loss of public comment at town of Manlius board meetings.
LETTERS: In response to Paul Susco
My participation at town board meetings in Manlius over the last nine years has been to document and to expose conditions that are being ignored by town officials.
LETTERS: Surprised by F-M’s proposal to start only Spanish early
As a resident of the Fayetteville-Manlius School District and a foreign language teacher for more than 30 years, I was at first heartened to receive notification from the district that it was going to address the issue of increasing language instruction for our students with the goal of increasing their language proficiency.
