Bay Circus holic tries to run for town and village boards; gets half the votes of other candidates.
LOOOOOSSSSEEEEERRRRR
The murder of EMT Mark Davis
Sorry but that is not Helen Macaluso helping her daughter Teresa with the flowers. Helen and Carman Macaluso did however hold the bible for their daugter during the swearing in. The Macaluso's arrived after this picture was taken.
One should definitely be Boy Scout leader and former Lewis County Legislator Joyce Hoch being arrested for providing and serving alcohol to minors at her scouting event!
Okay 9:21 how about the story about the gentleman in Denmark, NY, that embezzeled public monies.
The first murder in Lewis County since the early 90's, and first conviction of a murder in Lewis County since 1992. Along with the debate on who was in the wrong, the killer or the deceased.
Funny how George Bush was demonized in his 8 years as president. President Obama is finding out it's not as easy being in charge of National security as it looks. Blaming the Bush administration doesn't wash anymore.The President has to now destroy these threats from Yemen. Also he could move the prisoners from Gitmo and place them in the multi million dollar maxium security prison that houses Terry Nichols. Oh and congrats Scott
