2. New Heron Mural Unveiled at Plattsburgh Industrial Park (wnbz.com) — A new great blue heron mural now brightens Plattsburgh's Air Industrial Park, painted by local artist Brendon Palmer-Angell on a TDC building at Military Turnpike and Industrial Boulevard.

3. Peru, Seton Catholic boys prevail in overtime (cnhi.com) — Peru's boys soccer team edged Plattsburgh High 3-2 in double overtime after erasing a 2-0 deficit, while Seton Catholic pulled out its own OT win in a game played in Plattsburgh.

4. Massive lakes formed as glaciers retreated from NY. A geologist thinks they need new names. (timesunion.com) — Work by longtime SUNY Plattsburgh geologist David Franzi is reshaping how scientists describe the massive lakes that once covered the North Country as glaciers retreated. Using high-resolution lidar data, Franzi and colleagues mapped thousands of ancient beaches and proposed new Indigenous-inspired names that could unify research across New York, Vermont, Quebec, and Ontario.
