Exercise your right to vote!  I voted today.  Did you?

 It's November 1, 2009 and time to set your clocks back one hour.  Daylight Saving Time has ended.

 The weather has held and the children enjoyed the walk.  Trick or Treat.  Happy Halloween!!

 It's about time.

 DOT inspection on Friday revealed the bridge is in worse shape than previously believed.  The bridge between NY and Vermont is closed for safety reasons.  No one knows when it will or if it may reopen.

 Town clerks across the region are pointing out that folks 65 and older can purchase a lifetime fishing/hunting license for $50 which is great compared to an annual license price of $47.  The deadline is Sept. 30, 2009.  Why not pay $50 this year for the lifetime license and enjoy paying yourself $47/year in savings?

 Earlier this year, the National Association of Realtors® announced the 
launching of a weekly two-hour talk radio show, Real Estate Today.

On June 27, 2009 the show will begin airing in our region on 107.1 FM 
WNMR-FM, Saturdays from noon-2 p.m.

To The Editor:

Worst Road

Residents of Willsboro, Essex, and Everyone who has ever drove or rode on the 8 miles of New York State Route 22 between Willsboro and the intersection where Route 22 meets Route 9 and Northway Exit 33.  This road is known locally as the Willsboro Mountain Road and is the absolute worst State Road in New York that I know of.  This road has been overlooked for major improvements for over thirty years.  It is time we, as residents of Willsboro and Essex, do something about it.  Call your representatives listed below and let them know this stretch of NYS Route 22 (the Absolute worst in the State) needs immediate attention.  What about Governor Paterson's stimulus money?  Why was this road not included as the first project?

Contact your representatives now!

Today is the first day of Spring!  Spring is in the air.  Sure, snow is known to fall here off and on until early May, but chances get less and less as the days go by.  It's now time to start thinking about spring cleaning and garage sales.  Don't forget to announce your garage/yard sale in the Garage/Yard Sale section.

 Did you turn your clocks ahead one hour?  Daylight Savings Time began today at 2am, the second Sunday in March, and will end November 1, 2009, the first Sunday in November.

Remember to check the batteries in your smoke detectors and flashlights!
