To the editor: Until last Wednesday afternoon, I thought Stefanik was bulletproof. I wouldn’t have put it all on the line to try and challenge her again. Even as she bet against her political roots and track record of level-headed decisions for a ride on the Trump 2024 train, it all ...

To the editor: Elise Stefanik must face the consequences for taking part in inciting an attempted coup to prevent the peaceful transition of the presidency. She voted to overturn the democratic process of Congressional approval of other states’ certified election results by not accepting ...
To the editor: To Rep. Elise Stefanik: We are writing to express our profound concern regarding your activities to overturn the will of the people in the recent November election. There seems to be no moral line that you won’t cross in your support of President Trump. Instead of ...
To the editor: Even with navigating the pandemic, the Lake Placid community was able to host a safe and successful Holiday Village “Mini” Stroll in December. 2020’s Holiday Village Stroll included a virtual run, a Main Street scavenger hunt, to-go craft kits, and two virtual ...
To the editor: Tom Vilsack, incoming head of the United States Department of Agriculture, should do everything in his power to help the nascent cultured-meat industry. For those who aren’t aware, cultured meat is grown from cells, without slaughtering animals. The USDA will share ...
To the editor: Our times are different, of course. But it is striking that we Americans revere the first president of the United States for his willingness to give up power. Now our most recent president is doing the exact opposite, and apparently has millions of Americans supporting ...
To the editor: On behalf of the board and staff of the Lake Placid Center for the Arts, we would like to thank the more than 250 business and individuals who donated to this year’s virtual Joy to the Children event. For the last 33 years, Joy to the Children, graciously hosted by Ed ...
(This letter refers to Naj Wikoff’s On the Scene column in the Dec. 11 issue titled “Keene residents celebrate opening of new Stewart’s.”) To the editor: I was disturbed reading where our retiring state senator, Betty Little, extols the virtues of the expanded Stewart’s Shop in ...

To the editor: I would like to thank all the people on Averyville Road that helped rescue two of our horses that ventured out of our pasture. A few weeks ago, there were some moose sightings on Averyville. It turns out that the moose encountered our electric fence. Luckily the moose ...
To the editor: I drive River Road every day. Recently I saw Stefanik and Trump signs go up next to each other. The next day a Tedra Cobb sign went up next to Stefanik. Within 24 hours the Tedra Cobb sign was stolen, I assume by a Stefanik supporter. There it was, the only thing left was ...
To the editor: I am an individual who uses a seeing eye cane. On several occasions in Lake Placid, where I live, cars have not been stopping for me at designated crosswalks, despite having ample spatial notice. I have called the police a couple of times and have been told that the only thing ...
To the editor: The young generation in the Tri-Lakes is the future of our area and community. With many issues facing our region and few willing to publicly address the issues that could hinder the future potential of the young generation, most look to elders of the area to help the problems ...

To the editor: As a United States Army veteran, I’m embarrassed being represented by Elise Stefanik in Congress. She shows a lack of concern about the military. She was with President Trump at Fort Drum when he was signing the John McCain National Defense Authorization Act. Neither she ...
