In September he was diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer, two months before he ran for reelection to the village board and won. He underwent a series of chemotherapy treatments six before December and six more after. A scan on April 12 detected no signs of cancer in his esophagus, lymph nodes or liver, and he has been deemed to be in remission, he said.

All New York communities with police departments are going through a review and revision process of their police force policies and practices, required by an executive order Gov. Andrew Cuomo made last year amid several well-documented killings of Black people by police. The deadline for these plans is April 1, and the state would cut off aid to police and local governments if it is missed.

(Enterprise photo â Aaron Cerbone) TUPPER LAKE The Tupper Lake village board on Wednesday laid out a process to potentially allow residents to keep egg-laying hens on their properties. The 3-2 vote followed a two-month public comment period that brought in dozens of responses. Trustee Ron LaScala, who brought the chicken issue to the board back in November 2020, will draft an amendment to the local law on egg-laying hens, along with the village attorney. He hopes to present the final language to the board at its March meeting.

Tupper Lake village Water and Sewer Department Superintendent Mark Robillard places a stake in the ground at the site of a potential third well on the shore of the Raquette River.
(Enterprise photo â Aaron Cerbone) TUPPER LAKE This village has been in an year’s long struggle for clean drinking water and there are two possible paths forward the water department and village board are considering drilling a third well to source more ground water or installing microfiltration plants to source cleaner lake water. After years of poor water color and quality, and following many attempts to amend this issue that have failed or resulted in further problems, Water and Sewer Department Superintendent Mark Robillard said he hopes a third potential well drilling site on the shore of Raquette River at the end of Glenwood Avenue will be enough to supplement the two existing wells drilled in 2018.
