*******************
                                                      COMMENTARY

*******************
It's hard to believe that we've already put out five issues of the 
Digest already. The work involved in putting it together has
been more than we ever anticipated but we're happy that in such
a short time we've gained so many readers. 
We have unfortunately ran into a couple of real nasty people out
there and even a few people who just said bluntly that they don't
care about their communities,they don't read any newspapers and
they don't watch the news on tv and they don't want to read us either.
Our heart goes out to people like that.

We'd also like to address a few issues that keep coming up from 
our readers. First is the appearance of the Digest. Everybody uses
a different mail program and therefore the "look" of this Digest will 
vary with all the programs that are used. Before we send the Digest
out to our readers we mail the Digest to ourselves several times
to be sure it is all lined up properly when it makes its final
arrival.
We try using various fonts while preparing the Digest but it looks
like the font that each person reads it in is what you have your mail
program set up to display. We apologize if your copy of the Digest
looks unalligned when printed or viewed on the screen. This problem
seems to happening to users who are using Eudora for mail.
One suggestion is to try using Pegasus Mail. It's a great email
program with tons of neat features. If you would like to try it,
just send us email and we'd be happy to help you get the program.
It's Free too!!

Second,we'd like to know if anyone is recieving more than one copy
of the Digest when we send it. We've only had a couple of people
say that they get two copies but we've been unable to locate the
reason for it. 
On another issue,we used to send out a reminder just before
publication of the digest to remind people to place their ads and
submit any articles for publication but are no longer doing so.
You need to remember that to place an ad or article you need to
get it to us by Thursday of each week.

One last item that we wanted to mention is that we who publish
this Digest are in no way associated with this Internet Service
Provider. We are merely their customers and they have no
control over what stories that we publish or our distribution list
or any other facet of this publication. If for some reason you do
not wish to recieve this Digest or have any other concerns you
must email us directly as we are the only ones who can assist you.

                            
                                      

********************************
                                         LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

********************************

We are adding this new feature for letters to the Mohawk Valley
Digest Editor. We welcome your letters and comments as readers
of the Digest. Feel free to submit a letter for publication.
Letters can be signed or anonymous but we do prefer you sign
your letter with either your email address or name and city.

                                       LOCAL NEWS OF INTEREST

************************************


COME TO THE CARNIVAL
----------------------------------------
The Montgomery County Infirmary will be holding a Carnival on June 8,
1996
from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on the Infirmary grounds, on Sandy Drive
in
Amsterdam.  There will be carnival games, games of chance, food,
entertainment, clowns, even Cotton Candy and Sno Cones.  All proceeds
from
the Carnival will benefit the residents of the Infirmary.  We are
planning on
building outdoor areas for the residents, if we raise enough funds.
There is
no admission fee. Come out & support the Infirmary and have a fun 
time.


LET THERE BE LIGHT
-----------------------------------
The City of Amsterdam is preparing to fix and illuminate the infamous
old four sided clock that towers over the city on the "clock building"
on market
hill. The clock has been dead and dark for about 10 years.
This project is just one of many that are underway to rejuvenate the 
city. Other projects in the works are building a pedestrian bridge
from the rear of the Amsterdam Riverfront Center (formerly known as
the mall) over the railroad tracks and into a new riverfront park.
Also plans are being made to take back the streets of the citys east
end,clean it up and entice more businesses to move into that part of
the city. GOOD LUCK AMSTERDAM!


STATE POLICE NOW PATROLLING WATERWAYS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This summer the State Police have begun a new law enforcement program
that puts police patrols on the Erie Canal and Mohawk River.
In addition to their patrol boats they will be using personal water
crafts. The patrols are mainly to control and ticket reckless or
drunken boat
drivers and others who violate navigational laws.


SOME REALLY GREAT NEWS
-----------------------------------------------
We here at the Digest will be teaming up with the Mr.Advertiser
publication from Gloversville. 
Mr.Advertiser is a print publication that carries consumer and
business ads and is distributed throughout Fulton & Montgomery
Counties every other week. It is placed in restaurants,gas stations
and other public places in these two counties.
When you place an ad with the Mohawk Valley Digest an abbreviated
ad will automatically run in Mr.Advertiser for no additional charge.
By placing an ad you will now get your ad out to thousands more
people than you currently are with 1178 subscribers currently
reading the Digest.
Because of such a great offer we have decided to place a $1.00 charge
per ad per issue for individuals. For $1.00 your ad goes a long way
and is seen by many people throughout the region.
Business ad rates,more info on individual ads,or information on 
Mr.Advertiser are available by emailing us.


WANT A LOT OF FREE STUFF?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Beginning on June 10th,1996 Orion Publications will begin
a new publication called "Fabulous Freebies". It will be a
small newsletter published twice a month and distributed
by U.S.Mail and possibly by email. It will contain a wealth of
FREEBIES
that can be obtained on the Internet and by calling 800 numbers
as well as writing letters to the companies offering the freebies.
Details have yet to be determined but will hopefully be available
in time for the next issue of the Digest.

                                              MEDICAL TIDBITS
                                           ************************
When troubled by itching,cool the skin with compresses or 
non-prescription lotions. Oral antihistimines relieve itching from
allergic reactions and can be used for sedation if itrching keeps
you awake. Also ultraviolet light helps eczema and itching
that have no apparent causes.
