The pandemic has been a struggle for a lot of different reasons. For me, it's the lack of motivation and the ease of snacking and eating. I can't say that I am proud of my weight gain during the lockdown, but it's nice to know I am not alone.

We're coming up on one year since the universe threw us the biggest curveball anyone could have ever imagined.  We locked down, social distanced, tried to "not be stupid," wore our masks, watched daily press conferences, explored the Adirondacks, worked from home, taught our children, did drive-by celebrations, celebrated our frontline heroes, held meetings on Zoom, ordered massive amoun

This pandemic has been tough on a lot of people especially local small businesses. One coach is trying to help with a program he created to give them an extra boost. Here's how you can help too.

First Halloween, and now it looks like you may want to rethink your Thanksgiving plans due to the pandemic.

As phase 4 of the reopening process continues, we want to know what to best serve you in the months ahead.

As we await the plans of individual school districts to reopen, the start of fall high school sports has been delayed.
