Senator Dan Stec paid a visit to Tupper Lake on October 24. Above he is shown at the town office with its staff and local officials. After a stop there he headed over to the civic center to connect with the school officials wrestling with the issue of the leaking chilling vessel which has prevented ice-making to start this season. From left at the town hall in front of the tall state lawmaker were Councilman Tim Larkin, County Legislator Nedd Sparks, Youth Activities Coordinator Christielee Geiger, Town Clerk Mary Kay Strack, Supervisor Ricky Dattola, Town Accountant Samantha Davies and Assessor and Planner Jessica Eggsware.
