Tax cannabis sellers
I don’t understand why St. Lawrence County is spending precious tax dollars arresting cannabis growers. Recently a Stockholm man was arrested with $20,000 worth of pot and $6,700 in cash (presumably...
Pot holes are dangerous

Animal conservation
The photo of the gorgeous bobcat in DeKalb was just beautiful (Jan. 25 - 31). How ignorant, how sad is it that the caption told the story that a relative of the person who got the photo had killed...
