| Wednesday, June 19, 2013 - 12:43 pm Not long ago I saw an article in our local newspaper about some of our St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators who donated their own money to have trees planted. I think it’s great they did this and... More >> |
| Wednesday, June 19, 2013 - 12:30 pm Problem: St. Lawrence County wants to raise the sales tax 1 percent. Solution: I frequently travel to New Hampshire. If the politicians are unwilling to make the needed cuts and continue to insist tha... More >> |
| Tuesday, June 18, 2013 - 4:41 pm Someone has sprawled disgusting graffiti all over Potsdam village, but the worst offense is some vulgar language on the plywood covering the gas pump at the former Market Street Sugarcreek store. Seem... More >> |
| Tuesday, June 18, 2013 - 4:39 pm I noticed quite a few negative comments to the change in format of 99 Hits. Look at the positive side as I did. Now I have another free preset on my car radio since 99 Hits has been deleted. I was nev... More >> |
| Tuesday, June 18, 2013 - 4:38 pm Thank you 99.3-fm for changing music formats. We are over-populated with interminable country music these days. While I was very thankful for the format change, we definitely do need some local news.... More >> |
| Tuesday, June 18, 2013 - 4:37 pm I have listened to 99 Hits-fm because of the music and the news, well no more. I do not like the music and the news format is terrible. I guess I will have to listen to 102.9 at least they have a dece... More >> |
| Tuesday, June 18, 2013 - 4:36 pm It’s not about the music. I am also very sad to see 99-Hits disappear. I see people complain about the music format, but for me that is not it. I never was much of a country music fan. Yet I was a 99-... More >> |
| Tuesday, June 18, 2013 - 4:35 pm I was one of the faithful listeners for the past 20 years, ever since I moved here. I wore a headphone radio starting at 6 every morning. I can’t tell you how many radios and batteries I wore out! It... More >> |
| Friday, June 14, 2013 - 12:22 pm What have you done to the local station at 99.3-fm? What a change and I don’t like it. I’ve gone back to Massena station, better than what we are left with. And the ’80s? Yuck! More >> |
| Friday, June 14, 2013 - 12:21 pm Thank you to the Potsdam Police Department for helping me rescue a poor robin that was tangled in some fishing line in Ives Park. The robin was stuck high in a willow tree, and it would have been impo... More >> |
| Friday, June 14, 2013 - 12:21 pm While riding my bicycle in the town of Potsdam, I have encountered several episodes of motorists yelling at me to get off the road. Bicycles are vehicles too, and are required by law to ride with traf... More >> |
| Friday, June 14, 2013 - 12:21 pm I have a very interesting question. When you ask a service station why the price of gas has gone up here they answer with “Well it costs more to bring it up here, after all we’re not near a major high... More >> |
| Thursday, June 13, 2013 - 12:22 pm I am not a fan of all country, but I am not a fan of canned ’80s music either. I turned on the radio for that hometown attitude. The attitude that said we’re part of the community sharing in the activ... More >> |
| Thursday, June 13, 2013 - 12:18 pm SUNY Potsdam President Schwaller says college, community could benefit from Gov. Cuomo’s “Tax Free NY” plan. When all those current taxes stop being allocated, guess who will make up the difference? Y... More >> |
| Thursday, June 13, 2013 - 12:18 pm I can’t believe how much property assessments have gone up in Potsdam, Norwood and surrounding areas. People are trying to sell their homes because they can’t afford the taxes. People are raising the... More >> |
| Thursday, June 13, 2013 - 12:17 pm Just wondering if there is a leash law in the village of Norwood. A certain dog continues to visit my yard and marks his spot on all my plants and has even done so on my deck. This is unnerving as I k... More >> |
| Monday, June 10, 2013 - 3:57 pm Unbeknownst to many of the prior listeners of 99 Hits FM, not everyone in the North Country likes country music. Just because we are labeled a rural district does not automatically mean that everyone... More >> |
| Friday, June 7, 2013 - 10:09 am As I was reading the comments about the recent "question" about a casino in the area I could not help notice all the responses directed about the people of the Mohawk nation. There was so many "bigote... More >> |
| Friday, June 7, 2013 - 10:06 am After reading some of the comments on the casino compact the Mohawk Tribe has worked out with the State, one would think most people thought a casino would be the savior of St. Lawrence County. In rea... More >> |
| Friday, June 7, 2013 - 10:01 am I can't believe the state of New York re-negotiated the casino gaming compact with the Mohawks. Under the new deal, the Mohawks will do nothing more than what they should have done all along under th... More >> |
| Thursday, June 6, 2013 - 1:12 pm Being an old listener of 99 Hits, I am going to miss the news, weather and sports and some of the advertisers who were on the station. 80’s style isn’t my style so I need to find a station to my likin... More >> |
| Tuesday, June 4, 2013 - 4:00 pm I guess we should never get too comfortable with things we love, since they can be snatched away in a moment. That was my experience as I was driving to work this Friday morning. My old friend 99 Hits... More >> |
| Monday, June 3, 2013 - 3:41 pm I am so disappointed in the sale of our local radio station. Are there any local FM stations with local news and events in the Potsdam area? I do not care for all automated music and programming! I... More >> |
| Monday, June 3, 2013 - 8:31 am I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Farnsworth's letter and especially appreciated how carefully thought out his words were. Thank you, Mr. Farnsworth, for your words of sanity and grace. It's good to know tha... More >> |
| Monday, June 3, 2013 - 8:21 am Tuesday night on Sissonville Drive I went to pick my kids up at their aunts only to back out and have a white car come barreling around the corner without breaking and almost hitting my truck. Not onl... More >> |
