SARANAC LAKE It’s not every day that a former head of a New York agency sues his one-time department.
But late last year, Thomas Jorling filed a court case against the state Department of Environmental Conservation, which he led during much of Gov. Mario Cuomo’s administration.

Alana Fensom painting Octavious A YOUNG artist from Harwich has been handpicked to paint an Octopus sculpture that will form part of a public art trail. Alana Fensom, 17, was one of hundreds of artists who submitted designs to be part of the Octopus Ahoy! trail. Her submission, called ‘Octavious’, stood out from the crowd. She was picked by sponsor Galloper Wind Farm to complete the sculpture. The design highlights the theme of love and reflects the importance of art, colour and Alana’s involvement as an army cadet. The Colchester Institute student will now be tasked with completing the 4ft-by-4ft sculpture before it hits the streets of Tendring from June 25 to September 5.
