CAIRO — Four months after a whopping 11 candidates competed for four seats on the Cairo-Durham Board of Education, there is a high turnout for the race for Cairo town supervisor. Four candidates are seeking the position: Ted Banta on the Democratic line, John Coyne on the Republican and Your Voice Heard lines, Sherry True on True Choice line, and incumbent Daniel Benoit on the Conservative Party line. Benoit is not actively campaigning for office, he said

Cairo Town Supervisor Daniel Benoit said Tuesday he decided in July not to seek re-election and he is not actively campaigning although his name will appear on the Conservative Party line in November.
Deyo recognized one of the best
Tuesday. “In July I changed my mind and decided I did not want to seek re-election,” Benoit said. “I cannot dedicate enough time to the position.” Benoit said, in essence, he is stuck on the ballot. “The Conservative Party would like to endorse Sherry True as their candidate,” Benoit said. “I also endorse Sherry.” True decided to run on her own party line after losing to Coyne by two votes at the Republican caucus, she said.

ALBANY — State Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker has recommended a ban on menthol-flavored electronic cigarettes and Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he has accepted the recommendation. Two leading vaping companies and the Vaping Technology Association, a pro-e-cigarette group, attempted to sue the state to block the ban, but the state Supreme Court has upheld the move to prohibit menthol flavor. Judge Gerald Connolly of Albany County Supreme Court denied a request by the vaping industry for a temporary restraining order on the recent emergency regulations banning the sale of flavored e-cigarettes. “I applaud this
initial ruling as we work to enhance our regulations by also banning the sale of menthol flavored e-cigarettes at an upcoming health planning council meeting,” Cuomo said in a statement. “Make no mistake: this is a fight for the very future of this state and for the health of all New Yorkers, and we will continue using every tool at our disposal to protect young people from forming dangerous lifelong habits.” Cuomo directed a meeting of the Public Health and Health Planning Council be convened to discuss the possibility of expanding emergency regulations that were put in place two weeks ago to include menthol in the ban. A meeting date has not been announced. See BAN A4 Caroline Tompkins/The New York Times
Menthol-flavored e-cigarette products could be added to the list of banned vaping items in New York state.

Teator, along with Janelle Conine Maurer of Prattsville, Kevin Berner of Cobleskill and Ginny Scheer of Roxbury were honored at the museum’s sixth annual benefit, celebrating 60 years of service to the community. The event was held at Villa Vosilla. “It has been an enjoyable
and worthy 30 years, with most of the stress of my own making,” Teator said. “I thank all of you for playing your part in my fulfillment of duty but more importantly the sharing of the enjoyment and worthiness of this venture. I admitted that I have gained entry into many people’s business with the simple request: “Hi, I am the town historian and I would like to….” I am in awe many times at the simplicity of the request and the degree of trust I feel from so many people.” Some of Teator’s accomplishments include creating 25 local history calendars, 300 issues of the history newsletContributed photo ter, holding 300 Greenville Pictured from left: Don Rogers, honored for his work with the O’Connor Foundation; Kevin Berner; See HONORED A4 Janelle Maurer; Ginny Scheer; Don Teator; and Joe Loverro of radio station WRIP.
