At the threshold of the Town Hall in Colton on September 14, I knew there was no going back. Since 1974, beginning with my involvement in land-use planning to give local citizens and non-resident taxpayers a voice, I have addressed problems in Colton. The Colton Citizens Committee helped establish other local groups like the neighborhood center, senior citizens, and a historical association.

CANTON – On the first day of fall the Canton Pavilion has kicked into winter mode.

Canton Recreation Director Meghan Richardson told village board members Wednesday night work has begun to prepare the ice for the upcoming skating season.

Richardson said she and recreation employees recently logged a 19-hour day to ensure the ice surface was properly laid.

The first day of public ice time is scheduled for Oct. 1.

Another day of below normal temperatures is expected today with breezy northwest winds in St. Lawrence County, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

Expect a high today around 53 with winds 9-11 mph, the service says. The overnight low will be around 38.

Temperatures tonight will be quite chilly, and forecast lows in the low to mid 30s in portions of the northern Adirondacks will support some patchy frost overnight in sheltered valleys and hollows, NWS says.
