Boys varsity basketball

The boys’ varsity basketball team continued to show improvement in their play as they had a very interesting week of play this past week.
The week started off with an away contest at Remsen last Tuesday, Jan. 24. Off to a fine start and a 20-7 first quarter lead, the team played some poor defense in the second quarter and had a 35-24 lead at the half. They played much better in the second half and won the contest, 67-45.
Sam Waterbury led the team wit ...

The home fires
by Mart Allen

Wood is perhaps mankind’s oldest source for fuel used to provide heat for warmth and cooking. For millions of people throughout the world it still is the only fuel available to meet their needs. The developed countries have eliminated nearly all of their need for wood for cooking but still have large segments of the population depending on it for heat. At present with the energy crisis the percentage of those who will rely once again on wood is likely to increase dramatically.
This is good ...

A novel idea
by Stan Ernst

I see no reason why every non-comatose Expresslandian can’t write a novel. It’s so easy that I’m going for number two. I’m inspired by the unsubstantiated cult status of my quintessential Adirondack thriller, “Belle of Blue Mountain (BoBM)” and the inaudible clambering for another tour de force from my capricious readership. Those who have yet to enjoy the sardonically irreverent BoBM may do so free of charge by perusing archived Express issues dating back to ...

In your Facebook
by Megan Ulrich

For the past few years the information superhighway has offered an inside look into the lives of pretty much everyone you have ever met in your life. Just check on Facebook. You can find out where they are, with whom, and what they are doing at pretty much any hour of the day. You can see the x-ray of their four year old’s broken arm and know what they had for dinner. It doesn’t take much investigation at all.
I enjoy a little investigating, myself. It makes me feel a bit secret-agen ...

Our trivialities
by Mart Allen

One of the signs of real old age is recalling trivial things that happened in the far distant past and remarking on them. I first became aware of the tendency for people to do so by interacting with my father in his late years. Suddenly he began to mention happenstances and inconsequential events I had never heard him mention before. I have heard it said if you look in a mirror you will see either your mother or father and I believe it’s true. I see more and more of my father in me the old ...
