Honk for lower prices
Thursday, June 16, 2011 - 12:06 pm
I visited Heuvelton June 8 and the gas price there is lower than any major community in St. Lawrence County. I believe that the gas stations intentionally raise prices when they know a holiday weekend is coming or/and if there are going to be “out-of- towners” coming in. Like this past weekend (Dairy Princess and St. Lawrence University gatherings). I saw one station below $4 on Thursday or Friday and then it was gone. That is just wrong. I drive to Ogdensburg, and now maybe to Heuvelton, at least once every two weeks to get filled up just because I hate being taken advantage of.

Massena Central teachers, staff contributed to daughter's success
Thursday, June 16, 2011 - 10:45 am
To the Editor:
This time of year we all think about our graduates and all the struggles and challenges they have survived to get to this amazing point in their lives.
I want to also take this time to thank and honor the teachers at Massena Central School for making this possible for my daughter Morgan.
Without the kindness and guidance from these amazing people, my daughter would not be the wonderful person she is. Mrs. Acton has been there for her since 9th grade.
