Notre Dame picked up a big, 13-2 win over Avon in five innings.
⚾️: The Irish used an all-around effort, riding a two-run inside the park HR from Gavin Schrader, and five strong innings from Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Happy Birthday @ncpr. My grandfather would be proud to see your progress and continued commitment to reporting local news and telling the stories of the north country.
Did you know we got our start in #publicradio thanks in part to a gift from @wdtnews publisher and @StLawrenceU Trustee John B. Johnson, Sr.?

Thank you @SenSchumer for making sure newspapers across the country are able to benefit from the lifeline of the Paycheck Protection Program. Reporters and most importantly, the readers, will benefit from continued strong local reporting. It’s never been more important. – at Watertown, NY

Today @SenSchumer told 200+ NY journalists on Zoom:
“I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for your heroic efforts during these very difficult times, to cover what you have covered... You’re the ones who shine a light on what is wrong in our society."
Thanks to our reporters and editors across the state for rallying to cover such an unprecedented, and scary day for our nation. Congress is back at work. We won't stop working for our readers.

.@EliseStefanik refused an interview w/@wdtnews, the North Country's official newspaper for Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties — all in 21st District.
Staff "encouraged" reporters watch below exclusive TV interviews, declining further comment. This is unacceptable. (1/2)
Congresswoman Stefanik has given interviews and answered questions from every TV media market in the district to run this evening
Please tune in at @CBS6Albany, @7NewsWatertown, and @MyNBC5!

We were also denied an interview.
For the record, the Enterprise also asked for an interview with @RepStefanik, starting at 12:30 p.m. today, and was not granted one. We also asked her multiple questions, and the only one that was answered was whether she is safe.
It's too bad she did not have time for the half-million readers of the North Country's newspapers. The most informed constituents. The @wdtnews @AdkEnterprise @poststar @MaloneTelegram @pressrepublican

Labor Day isn’t a holiday for the people who bring you the news: the reporters and editors, advertising and circulation staff, and the people who run the presses. Show them some love - subscribe to a newspaper.
