"Say A Few Prayers For Al Kryger"

     Rev. Farley Smoot of Virgil, a close neighbor of county legislator Sandy Price and rumored to be her spiritual advisor, claims the reason Cortland County didn't get much snow in December and January is because Greek Peak President and CEO Al Kryger offended God.
     "He extended his business model and went against the laws of God and nature. Building Hope Lake Lodge and the Indoor Water Park were sinful acts," said Rev. Smoot. "Al Kryger got on the wrong side of the Lord, and now the Lord has withheld snow from Greek Peak Mountain Resort."
     Rev. Smoot went on to explain that he had a dream about the weather and business climate.
     "Rev. Martin Luther King had a dream too, but not about lack of snow and the cause of it. It's sinful ambition that did it. Say a few prayers for Al Kryger."
     For local residents who believe that lack of snowfall is related to climate change, Rev. Smoot has a much different explanation:
     "Climate change is a political and scientific snow job with no basis in Revelation."
     Rev. Smoot is a retired prison chaplain. He is an avid skier. He has an opinion for everything.
     "You should hear what he has to say about the county legislature," said Clementine Phelps, who lives near Hollenbeck's Cider Mill. "Nothing positive or praiseworthy. He blames the county legislature for ignoring legislator Sandy Price's ridiculous suggestion to relocate the county landfill to state land near Greek Peek on Valentine Hill. She may lose the next election for that crazy notion."
     At the moment Al Kryger was informed of Rev. Smoot's opinion on the weather, a skier standing by his office door heard him exclaim:
     "Snow job? That guy is a nut job. Who let him out of prison? I don't give a hoot for Smoot. We have man-made snow at Greek Peak. We could use a lot more natural snow. Let's all THINK SNOW."
