Lake Placid residents voted at the North Elba Town Hall between noon and 9 p.m. to choose a new mayor, two trustees and a justice. Face coverings were required to vote, due to the COVID-19 pandemic; that also drove many people to vote absentee this year.

acerbone@adirondackdailyenterprise.com SARANAC LAKE The Saranac Lake village board has declared today as a COVID-19 Memorial Day, a day to commemorate those who died during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. This follows a grassroots nationwide movement to make March 1 a national day of remembrance. It has been around a year since the pandemic first took hold in the U.S. as it spread around the globe, and in that time the virus has claimed the lives of more than 500,000 in this country alone. This huge loss of human life has led several activist groups to seek a specific day to collectively mourn the dead and reflect on the loss.
Mar 01, 2021 Saranac Lake is among the many cities and towns across the US marking Monday, Mar. 1 as COVID-19 Memorial Day to honor the victims of the pandemic. There are no events scheduled today in the village because of the pandemic. Mayor Clyde Rabideau says it s hard to grasp the impact COVID has had on the village, but he is feeling hopeful for the future.
