    But, with one very important proviso: Don’t drink and drive.

  • OUR VIEW: Cleanup is up the creek

    New York state had an Eighteenmile Creek cleanup within its grasp — and now it’s trying to change horses in mid-stream. And that could leave the cleanup effort up the creek without a paddle.
