CHAMPION, NY — The giant snowman just off of Route 126 in the Town of Champion is back, and this year, he's bigger than ever. Vern Scoville's 35-foot snowman is slowing traffic once again this year. This time around Frosty got a bit of a makeover. Instead of paper, the snowman is sporting a hat made from an old pool.

Selfish Parking Makes Driving in CH Impossible

Absolutely no reason at all! A sedan which has another two feet to back-up and a 4×4 SUV both hang out into Albany Avenue traffic.

A typical trip from the parking lot of Beis Rivkah on Crown Street to Carroll and Troy should take no longer then 5 minutes, but thanks to inconsiderate motorists along with construction projects around our neighborhood that trip took over 20 minutes.

NYT Op-Ed: When Speed Compromises Credibility

By Arthur S. Brisbane – New York Times

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was the victim of a shooting on January 8, 2011, was declared dead prematurely by a number of media outlets.

NPR was reporting definitively that Representative Gabrielle Giffords had been shot dead, but The Associated Press was holding off. The lines into the A.P. offices, recalled A.P.’s executive editor, Kathleen Carroll, were buzzing with complaints: where was The A.P. on this story? How could it let NPR beat it?

Meanwhile, the lines into the New York Times offices were hot as well, said Greg Brock, senior editor/standards: where was The Times on this story?
