Cheers and jeers
CHEERS — To a bittersweet opportunity. Today in New York City, the USS New York — a 684-foot, 24,900-ton ship built with steel from the World Trade Center towers — is being commissioned. Among the relatives of the victims of the horrific Sept. 11, 2001, tragedy who will be attending the event is local resident Vince DeSantis. All of us join Vince in honoring his adopted son, Jemal Legesse DeSantis, and the 2,993 others whose lives were taken that day. CHEERS and JEERS — To the morning after. All Gloversville mayoral candidates were invited by the Fulton County Regional Chamber of Commerce & Industry to attend an “Eggs and Issues” event the day after the election. One issue discussed was a renewed effort by several Gloversville groups, along with the chamber, to jump-start a united effort to improve the city. All four candidates had the betterment of the city as the main goal in their campaigns. One would hope that after the election, the candidates would continue to pursue that goal.
