The Town of Webb Board held its monthly meeting on Tuesday, November 10.
Supervisor Ted Riehle reported that a letter had been received from two South Shore Road property owners, who requested that the Town of Webb assist with a road hazard caused by parked vehicles across from the Red Dog Tavern.
They said the parked vehicles create an obstructed view for them when pulling onto the South Shore Road. Continue reading
Wow, history repeats itself….four years ago I found myself in a similar situation—the election was too close to call. Absentee votes would decide. Four years ago there were 186 absentee ballots and I took 118 of them, but not enough to beat Ted Riehle’s lead. Registered voters in 2011 were 2,058.

Letter to the Editor:

Other than a “little” rain, this fall has been pretty good as well. Continue reading

It’s been 20 years since Letty Haynes of Inlet wrote her children’s book, “A Rock in My Pocket,” but one thing was keeping her in the way of having it published: finding the perfect illustrator.
After a multi-year search she finally found Maggie Henry, an artist who illustrated “A Coming of Winter in the Adirondacks” and “Forest Green: A Walk Through the Adirondack Seasons.” She captured the images exactly the way Letty envisioned. Continue reading
The Young at Heart seniors would like to thank the town officials and all the people involved in obtaining and installing the beautiful, very much needed new carpet in the Senior Room at the Inlet Town Hall.
Nick Rose of CAP-21 got the necessary grant, implemented with donations from many organizations and individuals.
The workers who removed everything from the room were quiet, efficient, and considerate of making as little disruption as possible, allowing us to continue our activities as long as possible.
The new flooring was laid in record time and everything replaced in excellent order.
We all appreciate the combined effort that made such a wonderful and necessary improvement to our room.
