Sprague Operating Resources Awarded Renewable Diesel Supply Contract for New York City Ferry System
PORTSMOUTH, N.H., June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sprague Operating Resources LLC ("Sprague"), a leading provider of energy and materials handling services across the Northeast, today announced it has been selected by the New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) to supply renewable diesel (RD) for its marine fleet, including the iconic Staten Island Ferry. This significant contract marks a major step in New York City's plan, announced in October 2024, to transition its marine vessels to lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emission fuels. "We are incredibly proud to partner with New York City and DCAS on this critical initiative," said David Glendon, Chairman at Sprague. "Supplying renewable diesel for the city's ferry fleet aligns perfectly with Sprague's long-standing commitment to providing sustainable and renewable energy solutions. This contract is a testament to our team's capabilities and our shared vision with the city of New York." RD is produced from renewable sources such as used cooking oil and waste fats that are refined to be chemically identical to traditional fossil-fuel diesel, so it can be used in existing diesel engines and infrastructure, like those on the Staten Island Ferry system. By changing their fuels to RD, the busiest municipal ferry system in the Nation will immediately lower lifecycle GHG emissions (up to 60 percent) as it carries over 24 million passengers each year. "We congratulate Sprague and are excited to partner with them on this exciting initiative for New York City," said Neal Sahni, General Manager of St. Bernard Renewables (a joint venture between PBF Energy and Enilive). "Delivering renewable fuels from our biorefinery on the Gulf Coast represents a key milestone for distributing our low carbon intensity fuels into the emerging Northeast renewable fuels market, which we are proud to supply."

Four charged after 38 dogs, 7 ferrets found inside Bethel home filled with feces, urine
Four people have been charged in Clermont County after dozens of dogs and several ferrets were found living in "squalid" conditions in a house earlier in May. The Clermont County Dog Warden announced that four Bethel residents – Terri Sprague, Christopher Davis, Vicki Miller and Anthony Miller – are facing animal cruelty charges after 38 dogs and seven ferrets were seized and impounded from Sprague's Campbell Lane home on May 5. The warden launched an investigation on May 2 after Deputy Dog Warden Sarah Steele came into possession of a dog whose fur was stained with urine and heavily matted, according to a criminal complaint. The dog had been picked up as a stray by a local resident, who then posted about it on social media in an attempt to locate its owner. Davis, who is Sprague's son, responded to the post, identifying himself as the owner. Steele contacted Davis over the phone and coordinated a time for her to take the dog to his mother's house, where he also lived. Steele went to the house and met with Sprague, who court documents say had "feces on her clothing and reeked ofurine." She also told Steele that she had 11 other dogs inside the house. More: 'Beyond disturbing': 11 more people indicted in 'animal crush videos' case Chief Dog Warden Tim Pappas wrote in the complaint that officials were able to obtain a search warrant, which they served on May 5, based on Steele's observations and interaction with Sprague. While executing the search warrant, 34 dogs − mostly Chinese Crested but including a mix of breeds and ages − were found confined to a single room. Seven ferrets were found in a cage. Steele described the conditions as "the worst I've ever seen." More: Thousands of Ohioans are attacked by dogs each year. How to avoid bites, protect yourself 'The smell of feces and urine was overpowering," Steele said in the release. "The floor was covered inches deep in feces and the dogs were matted in feces and urine. None of the animals had fresh food or water. Their bowls were even filled with feces.' Additionally, according to the complaint, the ammonia level due to the urine was eye-watering and made it difficult to breathe. Garbage, rotting food with bugs and clothing stacked close to the ceiling were also seen in most areas of the house. Sprague, Vicki Miller and Anthony Miller were all present while the search warrant was being served. Four additional dogs were found in another room that was occupied by both Millers, who are married, according to the release. The Clermont County Animal Shelter took possession of the animals after they were recovered by the wardens. The defendants lost possession of the animals when they failed to post bond to cover the cost of their care at the shelter. The court set that bond at $29,250 per month. All but one dog has since been adopted or placed in foster care, the release said. Sprague and Vicki Miller were arraigned on May 28, the release said. Sprague is facing 41 counts of cruelty to a companion animal, a first-degree misdemeanor, with her trial date set for June 26. Vicki Miller is facing four counts of cruelty to a companion animal and 34 counts of complicity, and her trial date is set for June 12 Davis and Anthony Miller are slated to be arraigned in Clermont County Municipal Court on June 4, with Davis facing one count of cruelty to a companion animal and 34 counts of complicity.

Moriah volunteers create Community Garden
PORT HENRY — The town of Moriah has its first vegetable-filled Community Garden on the edge of Witherbee Park. 'It's exciting for the community,' garden volunteer Cathy Sprague said. 'So many people have contributed to make this happen.' People can take what they need from the garden, especially senior citizens, and they're planting vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers, Sprague said. Community gardens are popular in other towns like Keene and North Elba, but so far Moriah has been left out of the fray. Not anymore, Sprague said. She said James Curren of Jimmy's Lawn Care brought in topsoil for the garden, Michelle Budwick of Sprout's Greenhouse donated plants, and volunteers Patty Gallagher, Carol Chiarella and co-organizer Jackie Viestenz have been tending it. 'Jackie and the others have been down there planting and watering,' Sprague said. 'Now we're waiting while everything starts growing.' Sprague said co-organizers Nicole Van Buren and Jackie Viestenz developed the concept of a Moriah Community Garden. 'Nicole brainstormed this,' Sprague said. 'We all loved the idea and everyone got to work.' Van Buren said the garden is fully planted. 'There will be two different kinds of tomatoes, peas, cucumbers, zucchini and summer squash, lettuce and Swiss chard,' she said. 'This is open to all community members and we are looking for anyone who would like to volunteer for weeding and watering.' The garden is sponsored by the Moriah Chamber of Commerce, and chamber President The Rev. Ric Lewis said the project could help a lot of people who don't have access to fresh produce. 'It came to be in one of our chamber meetings,' he said. 'We decided to put it into play. Jimmy (Curren) did all the digging and he brought in all the soil.' The soil was donated by a Dan White of Westport and Spaulding's Farm, he said. The garden is located in front of the Town Hall, in Witherbee Park, off Park Place behind the Amtrak Train Station. Volunteers who are interested should call the chamber at 518 250-1050.
