On Tuesday, The Southern Adirondack Tobacco-Free Coalition (SATFC) announced the results of a review of all tobacco-free policies set in Saratoga, Washington and Warren Counties over the last six years.

According to a statement by the Southern Adirondack Tobacco-Free Coalition, the review showed that working with municipalities, organizations and businesses in the community to establish tobacco-free grounds policies can result in long-term, sustained tobacco-free environments. This is evidenced by the absences of tobacco litter and the posting of tobacco-free signs.

CORINTH - For more than three months Lori Brownell has been living with vocal outbursts, strange tics and involuntary movements.  They symptoms have forced the one-time scholar athlete to take a leave of absence from school and they have sidelined the 17-year-old from the sports she loves playing -- softball and field hockey.

"I lost out on my junior year.  I'm missing out on my life because of this," explained Lori.

But next Tuesday Lori will begin treatment for Lyme disease.  It's a tick-borne bacterial illness, which left untreated can lead to neurological problems.

"I was very relieved to hear I have Lyme disease.  Not happy to have it, but relief because I can get treatment and start to get better over the next few months," said Lori.
