To the Editor: The Cluster Soup Kitchen, located at Our Lady of the Assumption Church, has had the very special privilege of having “angels” from the Midtown Community School Student Council helping the kitchen in a very special way.

To the Editor: Leonard R. Kantor’s recent letter contains several inaccuracies. Mr. Kantor claims that Mayor Smith is “ignoring” the City Council. Actually, Mayor Smith knows that the City Council has the authority to dispose of municipal budgets. That is why Mayor Smith made his budget speech at a council meeting. The municipal budget that …
