EDITORIAL: New Greyhound, Adirondack Transit routes from Montreal most encouraging
How could you read anything but signals of prosperity in the move of two bus giants to establish routes between Montreal and Plattsburgh International Airport? If any doubters of the potential of the local airport persist, they should take note of this encouraging development.
  • EDITORIAL: Local museums must be seen
    If you live in the North Country, especially in the Plattsburgh area, and haven't been to PARC to see the trio of museums growing and bustling there, you simply need to go. You'll be delighted and possibly surprised with what they have to show you.

    Paved the way for a whole new generation of female athletes
  • EDITORIAL: Comparison with Burlington unfair to Plattsburgh
    Say Plattsburgh is misallocating its attentions if that is your view, but do not say it is failing because it is not neck-and-neck with Burlington. Burlington, a wonderful city without question, had a giant head start.
  • EDITORIAL: Openness always a board's best course
    In deciding crucial public issues, closed rooms are a poor substitute for fresh air.
  • EDITORIAL: 4-day week a great idea for a community college
    North Country should be saluted for looking for creative ways to make attending college less burdensome for its students. This area needs college graduates as it looks toward prospects for future prosperity, and here's one that is finding ways around the mounting obstacles.
  • EDITORIAL: Put tax cap on the ballot
    Legislative leaders in Albany are calling their recently concluded session a success, as usual. It's hard to call it a success, however, when a measure favored by 74 percent of New Yorkers doesn't even make it to the floor for discussion.
  • EDITORIAL: A store that's good for all
    We're pulling in a big way for the success of the Saranac Lake Community Store. This is a project that can make the village a beneficiary of its own hard work and sacrifice.
  • EDITORIAL: Abandon the acrimony in contract talks
    County taxpayers can't afford raises of 8 percent a year, and the employees can't catch up with their counterparts in other counties with 3 percent. We urge both sides to retain their aplomb and dignity and negotiate seriously on an intellectual -- not a visceral -- level.
  • EDITORIAL: Advantages to airport despite temporary trend
    Fuel costs may be putting expansions to new airports on hold for a time, but, when conditions take their inevitable turn for the better, Plattsburgh -- as well as Stewart -- will still have their advantages.
