Two pigs, skinny and without food, water or hay, trying to eat the corpses of two dead pigs in a trash pile at a farm on County Route 18, Town of Pittsfield. “They were shivering and cold,” she said. “We got called out there at night in a rainstorm, and we seized them.” Now playfully dubbed…
COLUMN Blame Businesspeople For Downtown Woes In response to last week’s editorial regarding Cooperstown purchasing the old CVS building … What rot! I can only believe that this is either sarcasm or your newspaper trying to roil the waters for the sake of selling more newspapers.

Send back the straw and ask…
from GERRY WELCH Caped Crusaders Can Fight Ticks To The Editor, Here are suggestions for removing ticks from walking paths, yards, deer trails, etc. Attach to shoulder or waist a white bed sheet, and then walk or jog.
