The newspaper, which was produced twice-weekly, was last published in June 2019.
The new edition, which will be delivered by mail, will be edited by veteran newsman and longtime city resident Matt Curatolo with the help of The Journalâs perpetual sports editor Dave âDocâ Shea.
Itâs not entirely correct to say that Mr. Shea is returning. Heâs never left.
Mr. Shea has been a figure on the sidelines of sporting competitions in St. Lawrence County ever since legendary Journal Publisher and Editor Charles âChuckâ Kelly hired him in 1973.
Mr. Shea retired in 2018, but it didnât stick. Nine months later, he was back on the sidelines putting truth to the saying, âIf you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life.â
