CRANBERRY â Cranberry High School provided education for countless local area students from its opening year in 1923 through 1968, when it, Newland and Crossnore high schools were consolidated into Avery County High School.
On Saturday, July 17, the CHS doors again welcomed familiar former students, as the Wildcats gathered for its annual reunion celebration.
Between 50 and 60 former students and family members converged on the Cranberry site to reminisce about the days in Mr. Stoker Hughesâ science class, reading in the library with Mrs. Ethel Smith at her desk to lend aid, or listening in Mrs. Julia Ramseyâs English class or Mr. James Heatonâs math class.
LAKE PLACID â Lake Placid appears to be in for another busy summer season this year as tourism officials expect a continuation of last yearâs rubber-tire travel trend.
Lake Placid is almost always busy in the summer. The village and town of North Elba host a variety of large-scale sporting events; itâs in close proximity to the High Peaks Wilderness, popular with hikers; and its Main Street is walkable with a variety of businesses and restaurants. Itâs also been a popular vacation destination for generations. Last year, it was unclear if the usual influx of tourists in the summer would still come because of the coronavirus pandemic, and also because the Canadian border was closed to nonessential travel. But in part because Lake Placid is easy for many New Yorkers to drive to, the season was as busy as ever.
Federal judge rules Cheyenne River Sioux is allowed to join Mount Rushmore lawsuit
A federal judge will allow the Cheyenne River Sioux to join legal arguments opposing South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s efforts to put on a July Fourth firework display at Mount Rushmore.
The Republican governor has sued the Department of the Interior after the National Park Service denied the state a permit to hold a fireworks display at the monument. The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe had asked the judge to allow it to join the legal arguments, arguing it had a stake in the decision because the Black Hills, which include Mount Rushmore, are sacred for the tribe. It argued the fireworks event would violate the religious and first amendment rights of Native American people.

Judge Roberto A. Lange has granted permissive intervention to the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe and its tribal historic preservation officer, Steve Vance, over a suit filed by South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem regarding a possible firework show at Mount Rushmore on July 3. The Department of Interior (DOI) denied the governor’s request to obtain a permit to conduct the show, to which Noem responded by citing that the DOI “acted arbitrarily and capriciously contrary to the Administrative Procedure Act in denying the State a permit for its planned fireworks display,” and Congress had “unconstitutionally delegated legislative power to the National Park Service.”
