Opinion (» m c ^ t: .•..., In 0 « r Viewpoint G*town receives commemoratioii At the same tiiim that die Nattonal Baseball Hall o f Fame and Museum dedicates an enhibit honoring the playeis who served - bofe home and abroad - in World War II, the village will receive a national honor. Ilie viUage wiB be honored as a World War II Commemorative Community on Memorial Day to coincide with die 50th annivereaiy o f the end of the war. Ilie Hall o f Fame revised that dime is a need to recognize baseball’s role in the American war efCort. To that end, the Hall of Fame has set up a show in the tempoiary e x h ibit room of the F e^r-Yawkey Building on the Bist floor. Many b a seb^ playem went to war abroad, but just as itnpor- mnt were those who stayed at home and played the game. While it is true that many odim- villages ainoss the coiuiny have been named as World War II Commemomtive VlUages, the honor is not (hrainished, pardculary when jouied with the H ^ l’s exhibit, and die normal acdvides in Coopo^town on Memoridi Day... It is a day to lemmnter, and wl^e no one will have mmble doing that, the add»i incaidves may make us look a M e mme deeply at the war and what some specie people did to aid our efforts. Letters to the Editor Winterfest '95 derfut donations: from Milford - Crowley's Comer Store and Main New York needs workfare, not welfare was a success ' Ben Franklin Craft Store; from By GEORGE E. PATAKI Governor Last Febniary. I proixised a com prehensive welfare reform plan never before semi m New York. It requires work from able-bodied welfare recipients, provides incen- uves so recipients will complete tbeir educaaon and it plac^ a tune limit on home relief, a welfare pro gram for able-todied adults with out children. Welfare was conceived ^ a pro gram of temporary assistance for those who uiuld not provide for themselves and iheu families. Today we are faced with an \ask no questions, demand no person^ he welfare system has failed those it was intended to help. to welfare since the modem sys tem was created more than SO years ago. Unfortunately, the Democrats who control the Assembly do not support niy plan for change. They oppose my workfare requirement l%ey oppose placing a time limit res^msibility” welfare system. My prqiosals will reverse the decades-old uend of virtually unchecked espansion of welfare progranm. The state Senate, acting responsibly, has already passed sform plan. If approved by the on benefits for able-bodied adults. They oppose providing our district attorneys with evidence o f welfare Since New Yorkos will spmd hundreds of millions this y ^ on billion without reform. If my refonn plan is implemented, it will save tax payers $575 million per year. The welfare system has faded those it was intended to help. When government takes responsibility for people, petqile stop t s ^ g responsi- bili^ for thmselv^. T o lh e E d ittr On Saturda]lay. A|ml Central School held its annual Cooperstown • Straws and Svreets, Danny's M a rk^ Eliswcxlh & Sill. My plan is a departure from welfare, the Assembly' Democrat position is regreU^Ie. For the he the most fundamraitol changes u(xx}ming fiscal year, welfare will cost state taxpayers more than $2.1 uninoductive, status quo well policies that only perpetuate dependency. Because it empha sizes work and education, my plan will give people hope for a tetter future.
