Some said they do not use cannabis but support legalization for legal and taxation reasons. Others said they partake daily and were glad their use of the drug is legal now.

– Locals spoken to Wednesday all said they believe legalization has been a long time coming. That said, some had questions about how the state will keep use of cannabis safe. “I don’t have a lot of strong thoughts either way, actually,” Sue West of Bloomingdale said. “I’m not really opposed or really in favor.”

A fully vaccinated resident of the Skilled Nursing Facility at the Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital in Plattsburgh has tested positive for COVID-19.
The hospital says the unidentified resident is asymptomatic. The person had been vaccinated before the positive test result, which was returned Friday after a routine test prior to a scheduled procedure.
Infectious Disease specialist and CVPH Vice President for Population Health and Information Services Dr. Wouter Rietsema said the vaccine appears to be “doing its job to keep this individual from getting seriously ill.”
Employees and residents of the Skilled Nursing Facility implemented immediate safety protocols including quarantine and testing.

A burned house at 47 Rockledge Lane in Saranac Lake is seen mid-afternoon Tuesday.
(Enterprise photo â Lou Reuter) SARANAC LAKE Ashes from a wood stove had been put in a metal bucket, which was sitting in a metal wagon parked outside on the ground, up against the front porch. The bucket wasn’t covered. It was a windy day. Somehow, perhaps egged on by the wind, flames sprang up from the ash bucket in the middle of the night. The flames spread to the porch, and from there to the house. That is what Essex County fire investigators believe caused a fire early Monday morning that killed Carol Omar, the 77-year-old woman who lived by herself in the cottage at 47 Rockledge Lane, overlooking Moody Pond.
