15 Famous People You Didn’t Know Were From Lake Placid, New York

A visitor walking along Main Street in Lake Placid sees reminders of the Olympics almost everywhere. There are displays recalling the 1932 and 1980 Winter Games, buildings associated with the athletes who competed here, and the speed skating oval beside the high school. With Mirror Lake just below the shops and the Adirondack High Peaks rising beyond the village, it is easy to understand why generations of competitors have been drawn to this part of Essex County.

Burlington police chief pick draws scrutiny over discrimination claims

Accusations of gender discrimination in past jobs, complaints about a murky selection process and concerns about timing so close to elections shadowed City Council's appointment of Anthony Geraci as Burlington's next police chief . Councilors approved Geraci, who led departments in New York, in a 10-2 vote Nov. 9, but not before a range of objections from Democrats. Ward 6 Councilor Becca Brown McKnight raised concerns of “institutional sexism,” saying workplace allegations of gender discrimination against Geraci had not been thoroughly investigated by the mayor or hiring committee. "About a year and a half ago, I confirmed somebody onto a city committee who turned out to have a troubling background in terms of how he treated women," said McKnight, a Democrat. "Instead, I chose to go along with the flow, to move things along and to be polite. And at that time, I didn't do enough to dig deeper and ask the right questions. And that was the wrong choice, and I own that, and now I'm trying to do better."
