PARADE TIME
Grand Union is now Tops again
WILLIAMSVILLE Ñ Tops Friendly Markets officials July 2 officially unveiled 12 former Grand Union stores in eastern and northern New York under the Tops banner at grand reopening ceremonies, including the one in North Creek. The new Tops branded stores include stores in Saratoga, Warrensburg, Warren, Franklin, Essex, Clinton and Fulton counties. Participating in same-day celebration ceremonies at these stores were senior Tops company officials, district and store managers, and local community officials and charities. Ceremonies featured the announcement of capital improvements made at each store, as well as donations made on behalf of Tops to various local charities through the companyÕ s Ò Living Here. Giving HereÓ community partnership program. Ò The entire Tops team has worked very hard to that ensure our new store customers will have a more enjoyable shopping experience as they see the many changes in the setting, amenities and an increased variety of products that our neighborhood stores will offer,Ó said Frank Curci, TopsÕ president and CEO. Ò And we want to continue the tradition of giving back and being active members of the local community.Ó Store improvements vary by individual store, Curci said, but all provide a wider variety and selection of favorite brand products, interior and exterior renovations as well as refinished store fronts.

Della Mae to perform in Indian Lake INDIAN LAKE Ñ Before they head downstate to play at the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, the acclaimed Bostonbased bluegrass band Della Mae will be making a pit-stop at Indian Lake Theater July 17 for a live concert to be broadcast by North Country Public Radio. Ò WeÕ re really excited to be able to draw such talent this far up north,Ó said theater director Danielle Shaw. Ò Being able to partner with NCPR to broadcast Della Mae and Indian Lake Theater to a Parkwide audience is even better.Ó Della Mae will be coming off of recent tour stops in Nashville, Connecticut, Mas-
sachusetts, and Pennsylvania in the weeks before their show in Indian Lake. Immediately after their concert at the theater, the band will head to Oak Hill to play two full days at the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival. Ò This World Oft Can Be,Ó Della MaeÕ s Rounder debut, shows that like The Avett Brothers, The Lumineers, and Punch Brothers, the five multitalented young women of Della Mae are respectful of American musical tradition, but not restricted by it, combining centuries worth of musical influences with an emotionally tough, undeniably modern songwriting sensibility.

The public hearing the evening of July 2 at the Warren County Board of Supervisors Room in Queensbury was the last of eight the APA held around the state. Earlier in the day, there was one hearing at the Department of Environmental Conservation headquarters in Albany. Other sites included the APA headquarters in Ray Brook, Newcomb, Minerva, Indian Lake, Rochester and New York City. APA Counsel Jim Townsend served as the public hearing officer June 19 at the Downtown Conference Center at Pace University in Manhattan. The hearing included public comments from some Adirondack green groups and Big Apple residents who own sec-
ond homes in the Adirondack Park. Many who testified favored a Wilderness classification for the new state land, leaning toward non-motorized access to places such as the Essex Chain Lakes. Ò My principle interest here is ensuring that the motorless characteristics are maintained on the lakes,Ó said Robert Gillis, a property owner in the town of Johnsburg. Gillis said his introduction to the Adirondacks began as a Boy Scout at the Massaweepie Boy Scout Camp near Tupper Lake. He has lived in New Haven, CONTINUED ON PAGE 4
