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!

 BURN AFTER READING

Saturday, January 10 - Willsboro Central School - 8:00 PM

Nominated for Best Comedy by the Golden Globes. Directed by the Coen brothers and starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, John Malkovich, and Frances McDormand.

This all-star comedy is set in the Washington world of sex, lies and surveillance. "The characters are zany, the plot coils upon itself with dizzy zeal, and the roles are a perfect fit for the actors," said Roger Ebert. Rated R for language and some sexual content.

• "The Coen's best work since Fargo" - Chicago Reader
• "Hilarious. The witty dialogue stays in your head for days" - USA Today
• "Perfection!" - Seattle Post-Intelligencer
• "An all-star farce" - Rolling Stone
• "Delightful nonsense. I enjoyed every minute of it." - Newsweek

Have a Happy and Healthy New Year,

 Snow flakes fell Thursday night and didn’t stop until late Friday morning.  After the clouds departed the Adirondacks, blankets of snow were left all around.  As you can see in the photos below, it wasn’t a dusting. The snow in the Adirondacks is here to stay.
