Shelter Island Reporter Letters to the Editor
To the Editor:
The Recycling Center is a public space, and as such should not be dominated by any partisan message.
To have a truck centrally parked all day long flying a large partisan flag violates this principle. The same principle applies to Town Hall, Justice Court, the Post Offices and the Police Department.
The neutrality of public spaces is extremely important in a democracy. This issue needs to be addressed by the community.

An article in the Reporter (“Siller: Yard sales on ‘back burner,’” Dec. 3), refers to my wife, Kathleen Minder and me, Stephen Gessner.

As soon as Codger’s stationary bicycle arrives and is assembled by Crone and Cur II, the light at the end of the tunnel will click on.
Some people think a new president or a new vaccine will illuminate the way back to normalcy or better, but Codger thinks the path of progress will be led by his furious pedaling to nowhere on his immobile bike, then dismounting and doing something positive.
It’s all about individual agency, he thinks, one person doing something positive and picking up sidekicks along the way until change begins to happen. Or you can just wait for the next celebrity authoritarian to come along and tell you what to do.
