This Week IN NORTH CREEK
By Andy Flynn andy@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Minerva Supervisor Sue Montgomery Corey won the Democratic nod during the Tuesday, Sept. 10 primary in a re-election bid. Corey earned 56 votes while challenger Stephen McNally tallied 35. There was one write-in vote. Town Councilman McNally is the deputy supervisor for the town of Minerva. Both candidates had filed Independent nominating petitions for the general election. Corey was first elected in 2009 after incumbent Supervisor Michael McSweeney decided not to seek re-election. In the town of Newcomb, voters chose John Helms to represent them on the Democratic ticket this fall for the highway superintendentÕ s position. His 56 votes bested incumbent Highway Superintendent Mark Yandon’s 34 votes. There was one writein vote. Both candidates had filed Independent nominating petitions for the general election. Yandon won the election against Helms in a close race in 2011. About 9:15 p.m. on Sept. 10, Supervisor Corey posted the following on Facebook: Ò Many thanks to everyone who came out today to vote (regardless of who you voted for). Thanks too to all those who supported me. It is greatly appreciated.Ó The votes are unofficial at this time, as absentee ballots have to be counted. The general election will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 5.

Garnet Hill Lodge film premiered By Andy Flynn andy@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK Ñ More than 100 people packed the Tannery Pond Community Center the evening of Friday, Sept. 6 to see the local premiere of Ò Approaching Normal,” an independent film shot in and around North River. Yet the main character could not make it, for obvious reasons. The Garnet Hill Lodge stayed home in North River for the show. The lodge, owned and operated by Don Preuninger and Mindy Piper, was not

Shooting began on May 21 and ended June 6. They used the lodge itself, the property and adjoining Thirteenth Lake for scenes. The lodge and landscape became as much a part of the film as did the story. About 60 percent of the film was shot outdoors.

only the setting for this film, it was indeed a main character. While the actors could have been interchanged to fit their characters, this story was designed to take place at Garnet Hill. “I filmed at Garnet Hill because my family stayed there probably 20 years ago,Ó said writer/director Zack Bernstein, a junior at Emerson College in Boston who is studying film production. “I saw some pictures and did some research. We looked around because we didnÕ t expect to actually get the original location that the story is based off of. Even though the story is fictionalized and the characters

QUEENSBURY Ñ Primary election results on Tuesday offered some surprises throughout Warren County as voters decided who would be on the November ballot to represent various parties. In Thurman, former Town Supervisor John Haskell scored an apparent victory over incumbent Supervisor Evelyn Wood by a wide margin to secure the Republican line, and in neighboring Warrensburg, incumbent town supervisor Kevin Geraghty topped
former town supervisor Maynard Baker by a machine vote of 180 to 150 to be the official G.O.P. candidate. The results are not final, as there are up to 48 absentee ballots to be counted in Warrensburg, and a fair number not yet tallied in Thurman as well. The two contests will be repeated in November, as Wood has secured the endorsement of the Democrat, Conservative and Independence parties, and Baker has secured an independent line. Wood said that although the vote Tuesday night showed a large majority for her opponent, November could have a far different outcome. Ò Only half of the Republican voters turned out,Ó
she said. She added that her support was strong throughout the entire electorate, and in November the independents and Democrats would be casting their votes primarily for her. Ò When everyone can vote, a different story will unfold,Ó she said. Wood said she was undeterred in her effort to be re-elected. Ò WeÕ re carrying on, moving into the next phase of the election cycle,Ó she continued. CONTINUED ON PAGE 12
