Mountains & Valleys
We heartily congratulate the winners and losers of Tuesday’s election for a job well done in their efforts to serve the people of this area. For their successful runs for top leadership jobs in the face of opposition, we especially raise our glasses to Bill Owens, Henry Hommes, Mickey Desmarais, Roger Amell, Art Willman and Joyce Morency. Mr. Owens, in particular, although we did not endorse him, ran his campaign with personal grace and decency, even if the attack ads for and against him weren’t so nice. We appreciate that and wish him well in Washington. We will keep on him, though, and hold him to his main promise to help increase job opportunities in the North Country. --- Even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of swine flu, we will fear no evil, since we will wash our hands often, sneeze into our sleeves, stay home if we feel sick and get vaccinated if we can.

Spread the word; vote yes to ballot questions
