To the editor: In 1980 I watched the USA hockey team beat the Russians in the “Miracle on Ice” game on our living room TV in Central New York. I can remember the pure jubilation and pride that win invoked. Today I am living in Lake Placid and on the 40th anniversary of that miracle ...

To the editor: I want to thank your paper for the informative article on Feb. 22 regarding Mr. Trump and his interactions with the 1980 Miracle on Ice team. Far from resembling anything but a paid appearance by this team (I know it’s the 40th anniversary, but still), your article painted ...

To the editor: As a close friend of Wendy Hall and the Adirondack Wildlife Refuge, here is what I know to be true. The job is 24/7. On call all the time. I know whenever I made plans to get together with Wendy, they could be canceled last minute due to a wildlife call. This has ...

To the editor: After this year’s Carnival parade, I said what I do after all of them, namely, “This was the best parade, ever!” And I believe that’s true. But I believe it’s also true that had it not been for the stellar efforts of our village and town workers, and the county ...

To the editor: Does anyone else feel duped by Elise Stefanik? I know I do. She’s my U.S. representative, but she doesn’t seem to care about us here in the North Country. We have so many issues that we could use her help with, such as the environment, jobs and health care, to name just ...

To the editor: From 1970 to 1980, I sat often at Waterhole #3 and wrote songs. Now at the end of my life, others have come forward to perform my music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOhxejj03do In that regard, I put pen to paper for this in hopes a local music performer would take it ...
