thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE ã While the Lake George Arts Project is well-known for introducing innovative, highbrow jazz musicians to the public over 30 years through its Lake George Jazz Weekend, the non-profit group is now looking at sponsoring another annual festival featuring a more widely embraced idiom of music ã contemporary country. The proposed festival, a joint project between mayor Robert Blais and the Lake George Arts Project, is tentatively scheduled to be held Aug. 1 through Aug. 3, according to John Strong, executive director of the non-profit group. The proposed festival would be the first major event to be held at the Charles Wood Park festival space which has been under development for years. Strong said that a lineup of a half-dozen popular, wellknown Nashville-style acts would likely be booked for the festival ã either mainstream or alt-country musicians. He CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Railway to launch Thurman run By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK ã The Saratoga-North Creek Railway is all but reinventing its service, as it plans to establish day trips between Thurman and North Creek aimed primarily at Lake George visitors, slash prices for short trips between local stations, and offer discounts for seniors,
youth, students and families. The railwayê s new General Manager Justin Gonyo announced these changes to Warren County supervisors Monday Nov. 25. He also talked of pending contracts the railway is negotiating to haul highgrade stone products out of Tahawus, to be delivered to Long Island. The trips out of the Thurman station, two per weekend day, would begin July
4 and extend through Labor Day, Gonyo said. One run would feature an immediate return trip, and the other would provide a two-and-a-half hour layover so passengers could enjoy lunch and some shopping. Gonyo said that the railway executives were hopeful they could entice 10,000 visitors to Lake George to take the trip in 2014, considering that Lake George CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

WARRENSBURG ã People interested in promoting sustainable living and supporting the local economy will be gathering Thursday Dec. 5 for the Adirondack Cooperative Economyê s second annual Christmas Market. The event, which includes a creatively prepared meal, live music and socializing plus a variety of local vendors, is to be held from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Warrensburg Free Methodist Church, 250 River St. Last yearê s Christmas Market featured home-cooked meals of ethnic and creative wholesome foods. This yearê s event will likely have some of these concoctions, but also an array of foods prepared by local restaurants including Willows Bistro, Marco Poloê s, George Henryê s tavern and Billê s Restaurant. Rock Hill Bakery is providing their award-winning bread for the event. A fee of $5 for the meal has tentatively been set. The market features displays of goods and services ã most all of it appropriate for gift giving ã offered by local enterprises or created by area artisans. To be featured are wreathes and holiday decorations, woodworking, floral arrangements, jewelry and other handmade items, organizer Anna Busser said.
Adirondack Bucks, a local currency, will be accepted at the event as well as familiar U.S. greenbacks. A trio of entertainers will be providing music: Bill Campbell on guitar backed up by Everett Ramos on percussion and Linda Moores on back-up vocals.
Upgrades to Richards Library donated
WARRENSBURG ã A summer patron of Richards Library recently presented the facility with a generous donation. He provided the library with an office computer for the new small meeting room, and four new conference tables for the community room. Six computers are now available to patrons, with more on the way. Additional shelving is being installed to house the libraryê s expanding collection. Also, a new clock was donated by a couple that patronizes the library and is close to the staff. –Come in and listen to the beautiful chimes,” librar board of trustees president Susan Jennings said of the donation. Also, an anonymous donor has generously offered to purchase shirts and sweaters emblazoned with the Richards Library logo and staff membersê names embroidered on the front, Jennings said.

Thoughts about library director Sarah Farrar’s retirement By Paul Gilchrist
denpubs@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG ã Sarah Farrar, Director of Richards Library, will retire at the end of December, ending a 39-year career at the library. She has been only the third director in the 112year history of Richards Library, being preceded by Jennie Cameron and Mary Crandall. All are welcome to attend the retirement party for Sarah Farrar, to be held Sunday Dec. 1 at the library. See elsewhere in this issue for details. Sarah was the valedictorian of Warrensburg Central School Class of 1961. She was in the first graduating class of Adirondack Community College, earned her bachelors degree at Geneseo, and a masters degree in library science at Syracuse University in 1967. During college, she worked summers at the Caldwell Library in Lake George and at Rich-
ards Library. She worked at the ACC library in 1967 while the college was moving from Hudson Falls to its current location in Queensbury. Then she worked for several years at the Lake George Elementary School Library. Sarah is regarded as an expert on local history and genealogy. If you want to know who is related to whom in the Warrensburg region, you ask Sarah. Members of the Warrensburgh Historical Society, if asked a question they canê t answer about history (or any number of other subjects), generally advise people to first ask Sarah. In the unlikely event she canê t answer the question, then Google it. Sarah is renowned for being able to deal with children, especially when school is out in the afternoon and many children come into the library for an hour or two to use the computers, do homework, or socialize with one another. Her Story Hour each week for many years has introduced hundreds of pre-schoolers to the en-
joyment of books. Those who know Sarah are waiting to see
how she will spend her time and apply her talents during retirement.

Charity cut-a-thon to honor local boy WARRENSBURG ã A charity hair-cutting event to raise awareness about a chronic condition ã and raise money for research toward a cure ã is coming up soon in Warrensburg. This –Cut-A-Thon for RSD,” is to be held from noon to 4 p.m. at Heidiê s Clip Joint, 3685 Main St. in Warrensburg. All proceeds go to research Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, both neuropathic autoimmune disorders. Haircuts are $10 each, and all proceeds go to RSDS.org and RSDHOPE.org, a non-profit organization that assists families in getting the support they need to cope with this life-altering disorder. The event also features a raffle, featuring various goods, services and gift certificates donated by local businesses. The event is to be held in honor of Timothy Lucid, an 8th grade student at North Warren Central School, who has recently been diagnosed with RSD after surgery for a fractured elbow. Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy causes burning, electric-shock-type pain to the arm or leg, swelling and possible loss of use if not caught in time. There is no cure, only the possibility of remission.

‘Lite Up the Village’ set Bolton’s merchants to hold open houses, offer discounts
LAKE GEORGE ã The Village of Lake George will show off their extensive array of colorful holiday lights again on Saturday, Nov. 30 during their annual Lite Up the Village celebration. This yearê s illumination event will feature a new, multi-themed display centered around the new Visitor Center pocket park on Beach Road and Blais Park. Festivities will begin at 4 p.m. with bounce houses for children in Shepard Park and caroling led by popular vocalist and charitable organizer Andrea Jacobs. Bobby Dick will present a special holiday show at 5 p.m. prior to Santa’s arrival and a fireworks display at 6 p.m. All are then invited to the local firehouse where members of the Lake George Volunteer Fire Department and Ladies Auxiliary will host Santa hearing childrenê s Christmas wishes. A special musical program is to be performed by members of the Lake George Community Band. Each year, hundreds attend this event, in which more than 5,000 lights are energized at 6 p.m. at the command of the famous big red elf. Additionally, refreshments and childrenê s gifts are provided by the Lake George Chamber of Commerce. All events are free. The evening also features special sales and refreshments by nearby merchants on Montcalm Street. Last yearê s events featured a variety of new displays donated by Mr. & Mrs. Charles Weaver. This yearê s new display has been designed by Judy Gearwar and her staff. Gearwarê s flower beds and plantings throughout the village have received numerous accolades over the past several years, according to Village Mayor Robert Blais.

thom@denpubs.com BOLTON LANDING ã Main Street in Bolton Landing is renowned for its upscale shops, boutiques and galleries ã and during the holiday season, shopping here is an extra-special experience. Not only have the business owners collaborated in setting out extensive, festive Christmas decorations, but more than a dozen Bolton stores and restaurants will kick off the holiday season with two open house weekends: Saturday Nov. 30 through Dec. 1, as well as Saturday Dec. 7 through Sunday Dec. 8. During both weekends, merchants will host receptions complete with special discounts, delectable refreshments as well as heartfelt hospitality. Businesses participating in the open house weekend include: Serendipity Boutique, Trees Adirondack Gifts & Books, Indian Teepee Gift shop, Happy Jackê s Toys & Gifts, Next Summer housewares, Adirondack Trails Giftware, Adirondack Cotton Co. clothing store, Lake View Trading & Antiques, Black Bass Antiques, Sumptuous Settings Antiques, and Marion Art Gallery. Shopping in Bolton has another favorable aspect: it involves a hefty rebate. On Saturday Nov. 30, a good number of the stores are participating with American Express in the firm’s “Small Business Saturday” promotion. Cardholders who register in advance with American Express will receive a $25 credit when they spend $25 or more at participating local businesses. Other attractions include a giant gingerbread house in the
lobby of the Sagamore Hotel. For a list of restaurants participating in the open house weekends, contact the Bolton Landing Chamber of Commerce at 6443831 or Serendipity Boutique at 644-2120.
Hometown holiday planned
The charming ambiance of Bolton doesnê t end with the streetscape and shopping. The town annually holds a Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony that offers a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. The town of Boltonê s Annual Christmas Tree Lighting will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 1 at Rogers Memorial Park. A standout feature of the celebration are the horse-drawn wagon rides, in which Santa participates as a passenger. The fest includes a deejay with live music, community caroling in the park at 3:45 p.m., followed by the tree lighting at 4 p.m. Santa, of course, distributes gifts for the children as he hears Christmas wishes. Refreshments including hot apple cider and cocoa, as well as hot dogs, are provided. Christmas caroling begins at about 3:45 p.m., followed by tree lighting ceremonies at 4 p.m. Santa arrives, bearing Christmas gifts for the children attending. The event also involves plenty of hometown socializing as well, according to Willie Bea McDonald, who had a hand in planning the event. –The ceremonies get everyone in the mood for Christmas,” she said with a smile.

Avoid ‘charity fatigue’ this season
A
fter several false starts winter is finally upon us, and as Thanksgiving gives way to the Christmas season, itê s also time for the annual –Season of Giving,” with all of the pitfalls and pleasures that go with it. The Christmas season is an obvious time of year to think of those in need. Itê s a time of year when we give to those we love, so itê s natural to think of those who either have no one to care for them, or donê t have enough to give to the people they love. But there is a down-side to this time of giving. The biggest is what weê ve heard called –charity burnout.” There are literally thousands of charities, and most are very worthy and do excellent work. Itê s not uncommon to go to a mall or shopping center and find a bell ringer at every door, tables set up inside the mall with other worthy charities requesting donations or selling wrist bands, paper angles or the like, cashiers at many stores inquiring if you would like to donate to another worthy cause. All this comes before ever turning on the television or logging onto the internet, or stopping by your place of worship, to be barraged with even more charity requests. Itê s hard to believe that anyone can make it through the holiday season without suffering charity burnout. One suggestion is to decide now, before the charity season hits full swing, how much you want to and can afford to give to charity, and decide which charities you wish to fund. Pick the one, three, or even five, charities that mean the most to you, and whose mission you most appreciate, and those will be the ones you donate to. Set that amount aside in your purse or wallet, and when you come by a worthy charity on your list, if you have money left in your budget, donate. You will be able to keep tabs on how much you are donating, and will feel at least some semblance of control over the process. If you feel like you are giving as much as you can afford to, you will likely not feel compelled to give to everyone. Another thing to keep in mind in this season is that not all giving needs to be monetary. If you have time on a weekend or in the evening, volunteer to ring the bell, cover a shift at the local food shelf or find some other way to volunteer. Look around your neighborhood; do you have elderly neighbors who need their walkway shoveled? This will cost you nothing, but will leave you and your neighbor both with the warm glow of the season in your hearts. This is an especially good thing to teach your children. Then your spirit of charity might end up expanding to the next generation. If you donê t have the time, but do plan to give monetarily, look for those charities that will help your North Country neighbors. Try to keep your money local. While there is nothing wrong with helping someone on the other side of the world, you will likely have a more immediate feeling of giving if you knit a pair of mittens or give a new coat or toy to a North Country child. That charity might someday get paid forward, and this region of the world will keep on being the special place to live that it has always been. There is also nothing wrong with asking a charity how much of your contribution will stay local, or even what percentage of your contribution will go to administration as opposed to going to the needy. With something like a coat or a toy, you know that 100 percent goes to those in need. The final thing to keep in mind, is that many, if not most, charities have needs year-round. It’s amazingly generous to serve meals to the needy on Christmas, but people are just as hungry in June. Give some thought to pacing your giving, or volunteering, to charity all year round. Then you might feel a little bit better about tempering things between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and you might be able to avoid charity burnout. ã Denton Publications Editorial Board

Another quick peek at the Adirondack Journal solved the problem! We grabbed our coats on the way out the door, and after a very short drive, arrived at our destination. Although the parking lot was filling up, we found a spot. The young man who greeted us at the door, answered our questions, and bid us a fine dinner. No sooner had we crossed the threshold, when we were escorted to our table and asked if we cared for a beverage. The aroma in the dining room was heavenly ã dressing and gravy, with a hint of mashed potatoes. As we relaxed, we noticed most of the tables in both dining rooms were filled, and everyone appeared to be happily engaged in eating or talking, or both! Our drinks arrived soon after, giving us a moment to enjoy some fabulous pumpkin roll sitting on the table. Our waiter returned to ask if we had any dietary restrictions, and we happily told him that we were –good to go,” and we placed our order. I was seated directly across from the dessert table, and was thinking of cancelling my order in lieu of a triple order of dessert, when our steaming platters arrived. Did I say, –heaping” steaming platters? One could barely see across the top of the plate! And, it was as delicious as it was large! Grandma would have been proud to serve that meal! Everything was hot and fresh, and the dressing was to die for!

Turning Back the Pages By Jean Hadden
•100 years ago - Nov., 1913• Many come to boy’s defense
Alfred Dodge, 18, the boy who shot and killed his step-father, Samuel Wiggins at Smithê s Basin, Oct. 26, 1913, is being held in the County Jail to await the action of the Grand Jury on a charge of second-degree murder. The murder is a subject of much speculation among local citizens and many believe that the boy was justified when he fired the fatal shot. From the testimony of the case, taken by Coroner W.H. Mellick, the murdered man had, during the early morning hours, roughly kicked his wife and stepson out of their beds. The dead manê s brother, George Wiggins, swore that a short time before the murder, the heavily intoxicated man, who had been drinking whiskey, had knocked him to the ground and had made an attempt to hit him in the head with a pickaxe in a melee in the dooryard and the manê s wife, also intoxicated, standing close to her husband, had tried to intervene and he beat her. It was then when Alfred Dodge, standing in the doorway of the house several feet away, fearing for his mother’s life, fired the shot that blew off the top of Wigginsê head. Many hours elapsed between the time the shot was fired and the time that the coroner was notified. (Note: Details of this once hotly-debated case may be found in this column in the Oct. 19, 2013 Adirondack Journal.)
Music Hall performer
Not particularly large, but exceedingly well pleased was the audience that enjoyed the delightful concert given by the Florence Lillian Frost Company at the Music Hall, Warrensburgh, on the night of Nov. 3, 1913. Miss Frost, a fascinating young girl, is a violinist of exceptional ability. Her tone is sweet and powerful, tender and pleading or ringing and triumphant as she wills ã and her interpretations clearly show the soul of a great artist. For one encore she played with exquisite ten-
derness that old time favorite, –Annie Laurie.” The dance that followed the concert was well patronized and also the refreshment tables. (Note: This building, before it burned, stood on the north corner of Main St. and Adirondack Avenue. in Warrensburgh)
Empire Theatre presentations
A large party of Warrensburgh music lovers attended the concert by John Philip Sousaê s band at the Empire Theatre in Glens Falls, Monday night, Nov. 3, 1913 ã and they enjoyed the inspiring music. The Empire Theatre is regaining its old time prosperity under the vigorous and astute management of Joe Miller. The presentation –Naughty Rebecca” will appear at the theatre Tuesday, Nov. 11, 1913 in a matinee. The Hudson Valley Railway trolley car leaves Warrensburgh at 7 p.m. and is known as the –Theatre Car,” and also runs direct through to Saratoga except on Sundays.
New taxi in town
Henry D. Cameron, who has conducted an auto cab service in Warrensburgh during the summer season with a Ford touring car, has purchased through the local agency of T.J. Lynch, after selling his Ford to William McElroy, a 1914 model Ford, also from Mr. Lynch, which was delivered Dec. 3, 1914. With his old car, Mr. Cameron this season covered more than 10,000 miles and only paid out $1.50 in repair charges.
The death of Asa Bruce
When Asa Bruce died, Nov. 22, 1913, the town of Horicon lost one of its best citizens. Born Sept. 7, 1880 on his fatherê s farm in Horicon, he remained there until his marriage to Miss Evelena Morehouse and he went with his bride to establish a home in the town of Caldwell, about 4 & 1/2 miles from Warrensburgh on the Bolton Road. After the death of his father, Harvey Bruce, Asa conserved the large landed inheritance he received and the effort to attend to his mani-

Children’s Christmas Party set for Dec. 14
Santa Claus will be coming to town on Saturday, Dec. 14, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Thurman Town Hall for the annual Childrenê s Christmas Party. There will be delicious refreshments and arts and crafts to appeal to the little ones while they wait for Santa and Mrs. Claus to arrive. Area children look forward to this event every year and young and old have wonderful time. Once Santa arrives he visits with the children for a while then each child gets to sit on his lap to tell him what they most want for Christmas. Every child will receive a gift from Santa at this free event. So dress your little ones in their holiday best and donê t forget your camera! Formed in 1980 by Thurmanê s own Evie Russell, the local Christmas Basket Committee provides a warm seasonal remembrance to those 50 or so folks in the community who will spend the holidays alone. For this outreach, townspeople donate home-cooked foods such as breads, muffins, cookies, candy or fudge. To each basket they add a little fruit and a small gift. Help is needed and appreciated when it comes time to bake, pack and deliver the baskets in early December. The Christmas Baskets will be put together on Dec. 7 beginning at 9 a.m. ã and the committee still needs donations of baked goods or anything that would go with the theme of Christmas. Drop off donations of food from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 7 at the Thurman Town Hall. Those who know of anyone in Thurman that will be alone, or has been ill or hospitalized and would be an appropriate recipient of a gift basket, call Cheryl at 623-9718 as soon as possible. This is will be the 33rd year that the Christmas baskets are to be delivered in Thurman. In 1980, 12 baskets, all handmade, were distributed.
Reception slated for Sarah Farrar
The Friends of Richards Library are holding a retirement reception for long-time library director Sarah Farrar at 1 p.m. Dec. 1. The public is welcome to come to the library for the reception and wish Farrar well for her nearly 40 years of work at the helm of Richards Library, a cultural center for Warrensburg and Thurman. New library director Michael Sullivan, who assumes the Farrarê s post on Jan. 1, said this week he plans to attend the event ã so the reception will be a good time to get acquainted with him.
Local residents help those less fortunate
Gail Needham would like to thank Thurman residents for stepping up to the plate this year to help fill shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. Twenty-two boxes were filled this year and she wishes to ex-
fold duties of raising cattle and sheep, made his health break down. His death was caused by typhoid fever. Besides his widow, he is survived by his mother, three sisters and three brothers, Clarence, Percy and Orrin Bruce. The funeral was held Nov. 25, 1913 and his mortal remains are buried on his farm land. (Note: the Bruce farm was located between Adirondack and Starbuckville.)
Suffering ends in man’s death
William D. Mead, 83, of Pottersville, after suffering severely for three weeks with gangrene, passed away Nov. 16, 1913. He leaves two brothers and four sisters. Two of his sisters, Mrs. Minnie Barber and Mrs. Pauline Stevens nursed him tenderly until the end finally brought his peace.
Lake George wedding held
One of the prettiest weddings of many a day, in the village of Lake George, was that of Miss Clarissa Jane Worden, daughter of Frank H. Worden to Walter Sidney Williams, of Brooklyn, on the evening of Oct. 22, 1913, with the Rev. Richard Abbott of Warrensburgh officiating. The bride was attired in a gown of white chiffon over charmeuse silk and she carried white roses. Miss Mora Belter of Glens Falls, the bridesmaid, wore pink chiffon and carried pink roses. Leonard Pharmer was best man. The groomê s gift to the bride was a handsome chest of silver. The bride has been a teacher in Warren County schools for the past three years in charge of the 7th and 8th grades in the Lake George School. The bride and groom will reside in Brooklyn.

Snowmobile clubs here have long history
The Thurman Connection Snowmobile Club, founded in summer 1996, has since accomplished a lot on behalf of sled enthusiasts in the area. By Sept. 4, 1996 the club became incorporated with 50 members. The founders realized that Thurman represented the missing link between the Prospect Mountain trails and Speculator. Knowing that trails providing that vital link once existed on private, state and county lands, the club members worked to reestablish trails by obtaining permission from landowners and government authorities. Early on, the clubê s work was assisted by former members of the first snowmobile club in Thurman, the Schroon-Hudson Ridge Runners ã they helped the Thurman Connections members locate some of the old trails. The snowmobile enthusiasts spent endless hours locating trails, which included examining tax maps and obtaining names and addresses of property owners. The club members then went door-to-door to get permission from these landowners to clear trails and cross private land. Without the generosity and support of these property owners, there would be no snowmobile trail system today in Thurman. The club members then spent considerable time contacting those people who owned snowmobiles, recruiting them as members and for support. With no grant money to pay for trail insurance, the group drew primarily on the support of club members. The trail system became reality ã and the vital, active Thurman Connections club was formed with help of Palmer Brothers and the Northern Warren Trail Blazers group. The group meets on the last Friday of every month, and the next meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Nov. 29 at the clubhouse on Bear Pond Road.
Over the fence...
At the most recent thurman Town Board meeting, the board voted to contribute $500 to the Warren County Youth Court after a request for a donation was sought by Youth Court organizers. Additionally, the board approved appropriating $1,000 to the local seniors group to help support their extensive schedule of programs. Some citizens have expressed an interest in reviving the Thurman Town Planning Board that was once an active group here in Thurman. In past years, this panel had been a critical part of keeping Thurman a nice and welcoming town. Those interested in joining this group to help make decisions on the townê s future development, are urged to send a letter of interest with name and phone number to P.O. Box 29, Athol, NY 12810. Applications for 2014 events to be funded from Thurman Occupancy Tax receipts are now being received by the town board. The deadline for such applications is set for Dec. 20.

100 snow gun salute for Gore riders
thom@denpubs.com JOHNSBURG ã Gore Mountain Ski Center is poised to take a major investment that is expected to not only enhance family skiing opportunities, but increase the use of the North Creek Ski Bowl and boost the economy of merchants and lodging accommodations downtown. Gore executives are planning to install no less than 100 new high-efficiency snow guns, primarily on the ski trails on the “Interconnect” route between Gore Mountainê s primary slopes and the North Creek Ski Bowl, Gore manager Mike Pratt said Nov. 24. Permanently installed, the guns are expected to extend skiing over the Interconnect trails for weeks at both the beginning and the end of each skiing season, as well as enhance the skiing all season long, Pratt said. –Gore has experienced fantastic growth since the 1990s, and the key to this was tapping the Hudson Riverê s water for snowmaking,” he said. –This next project will help maximize that resource.” Pratt and marketing manager Emily Stanton said that with the Interconnect trails bringing skiers from the slopes to the familyoriented Ski Bowl and directly to downtown North Creek, the snow gun installations should add a significant amount of business for the taverns, boutiques, restaurants and lodging venues in the historic ski town. –Our impact on North Creek businesses is very dramatic and very real,” Pratt said, noting that 160+ businesses now advertise with them, seeking the patronage of Goreê s many thousands of skiers annually. –Maximizing this impact is our goal.”
Last year, the Interconnect trails opened Jan. 1 following heavy snows right after Christmas. Two years earlier, they opened at the end of January. Pratt said that he envisions that with the new equipment, the Interconnect trails can be open for Christmas most every year. Pratt said the new snow guns that Gore has been purchasing are tubes that are 10 to 20 feet tall, and use far less electricity than the traditional models with huge mobile fan-driven guns, which were moved from one spot to another on the trails. Gore presently has 400-plus snow guns total for all their slopes. The cost of purchasing and installing the 100 new snow guns is set at $380,000, with $25,000 of that sum paid with Warren County bed tax receipts. Core members of the county Occupancy Tax Committee met about two weeks ago and endorsed Prattê s request of $25,000 in full. The projectê s cost is to be offset by a $190,000 rebate from National Grid for using energy-efficient equipment Pratt said. The net cost to the stateê s Olympic Regional Development Authority is $165,000, according to Goreê s bed tax application, which notes that Gore has about 500 employees, and the new equipment provides the ski center with a crucial competitive advantage. It also states that four new internationally-sanctioned ski events are planned, and they are expected to attract skiing enthusiasts from all over the eastern U.S. The full Occupancy Tax committee is to meet at 10 a.m. Dec. 3 to give final review to all pending requests for bed tax receipts. Johnsburg Supervisor Ron Vanselow praised the project and said the countyê s anticipated contribution of $25,000 was a good investment. –This project should substanitally increase the use of the Interconnect and bring more skiers downtown,” Vanselow said.

Basketball star unhurt in rollover crash By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE ã A sport utility vehicle driven by a local teenager veered off state Rte. 9N at about 7:40 a.m. Thursday Nov. 21, shearing off a utility pole, authorities said. The crash flipped the sport utility vehicle, which overturned and landed on its roof in the middle of the roadway about a half-mile south of Diamond Point. Joel H. Wincowski, 16, of Lake Shore Drive ã the high-scoring key player of Lake George High Schoolê s 2013 state championship basketball team ã was behind the wheel. Warren County Sheriff’s officer J.A. Fidd, who responded to the crash, reported that Wincowski drove off the road while adjusting the radio of his 2006 Hyundai southbound on Lake Shore Drive. Wincowski was outside the vehicle when emergency responders arrived at the scene, Fidd reported. He said Wincowski was shaken up but was uninjured ã the teen was wearing his seat belt at the time of the crash. Wincowski was examined by Lake George Emergency Medical Services personnel at the scene but was not transported to the hospital. Firefighters of the Lake George Fire Depart-
•MY
ment also responded and assisted with traffic. National Grid crews worked on clearing downed utility lines from the road and replacing the pole, which hung over the roadway, suspended only by utility wires. Electrical and phone service was interrupted for several hours, and the road was closed down between Lake George Village and Diamond Point for more than five hours. The pole was replaced and the roadway was reopened by 1 p.m. No tickets were issued in the incident.

Bolton Fitness center features new equipment, long hours, easy access By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com BOLTON LANDING ã Residents of Bolton and neighboring communities now have a convenient, well-equipped, accommodating place to stay fit. Bolton Fitness, an exercise and fitness center located just north of downtown Bolton Landing, is now open to the public. Itê s located in the former Subway sandwich shop building, which has been totally renovated. The facility is equipped with brand new topquality treadmills, ellipticals, plus upright and recumbent bikes in a front room plus a multistation gym in a back room that includes free weights, kettle bells, floor mats and exercise balls for calisthenic and strength training. Flexible hours and a keyless entry system make the facility accessible from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., 7 days per week, said Sheila Michaels of Bolton. She and her husband, noted area developer John Michaels, own the enterprise. –With people having such pressured schedules today, we felt Bolton residents needed a fitness center for their convenience,” she said. Instead of driving 30 to 45 minutes each way for a workout, Bolton Fitness is just a few minutes away. Convenience also extends to membership services, as people can sign up online at their convenience and drop by during staffed hours to pick up their access cards. Bolton Fitness offers a month-to-month membership with no commitment for $39 per month, which is practical for members to use seasonally or during their vacations here. Another membership option is paying $29 month for a 12-month commitment, with the monthly fee automatically debited from a credit card or checking account. Those seeking a deeper discount have the option of a $329 lump-sum annual membership charge. A one-time $29 initiation fee pays for setting up the account and issuing the access card ã but Bolton Fitness is waiving that fee for all members joining in 2013. A certified physical trainer is to be available one night per week to demonstrate equipment use and technique. In addition, Bolton Fitnessê staff is knowledgeable on how to use each piece of equipment with recommended workout routines.
All of the treadmills and elliptical exercisers are equipped with personal large-screen television monitors carrying local cable channels. The facility includes menê s and ladiesê locker rooms, with cubbies to store personal belongings. Onboard to launch Bolton Fitness is facility manager Kate Yarmowich Belden, who has several years’ experience in managing fitness centers. Yarmowich was an All-Star athlete at Warrensburg High School ã she graduated in 2002 after being a key player on the field hockey team that was the 2001 New York State runnerup champions ã and she continued her skilled play in college at Oneonta State. The facility will be staffed two afternoons and two mornings per week — the specifics are detailed at: www.boltonfitness.com. Pictured at right: Jerry and Mary DiGiovanni conduct cardio routines on treadmills Nov. 21 at Bolton Fitness, located at the north end of Bolton Landing. The facility offers a convenient local place to exercise and stay fit, as it is only minutes away from Bolton residents, and it’s open to members from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. Photo by Thom Randall

Dr. Kathie Sousa has served as Parish Life Director at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church for seven years.

There will be a retirement get-together from noon to 3 p.m. Sunday Dec. 15 at the Lakeside Lodge & Grill. Everyone is welcome to stop by to wish her well. There will be a brunch buffet, so RSVP by Dec. 8 to the church office at 644-3861.

hosts up to 80,000 visitors in a weekend. The Thurman-North Creek run would also be held during selected fall weekends. The fare would be $18 per adult with discounts for families. Gonyo added that the Thurman station, now an enclosed platform, will be outfitted like a traditional train station, featuring various passenger amenities as well as a ticket counter. Such changes would go hand-in-hand with the station being federally certified as a Crew Reporting Point, he said. He added that railway officials were considering ways of drawing more people to the Thurman and Hadley stations, perhaps hosting artisans at work. –Both these stations will be open for business,” he said. Thurman Station Association President Perky Granger, whoê s been promoting local train travel and Thurman tourism for years, applauded the railwayê s plans. –Weê ve thought about these possibilities for decades, and with these changes, we will now have motivation to make things work,” she said. Also, the railroad will also be offering far lower rates for its short local trips, to encourage area residents to ride the trains to move within Warren County, The railway will be split into three zones, and travel within those zones will cost one-third of the price of traveling the full length of the rail-
Sunday, Dec. 1:
BOLTON LANDING — Christmas in Bolton, 2 p.m.- 4 p.m. in Rogers Park, 4928 Lake Shore Drive. Hometown celebration starts at 2 p.m. with hayrides — Santa rides along; deejay with
way, Gonyo said. Since the railway was launched passengers had to pay full price regardless of where they got on or off the trains –This is to increase use of the stations and give a discount to area residents,” he said. The railwayê s Snow Train will be running again this year, offering various new discounts, including a –Hall Pass” ticket for five runs from Saratoga to North Creek at a cost of $99 for adults and $59 for youth. The firm plans to market the deal to students at Skidmore and other colleges in the region. He said the railway is now negotiating freight contracts with nine different companies with the idea of moving stone and gravel products downstate. he estimated the railway would be moving 500,000 tons of aggregate the first year — that’s 5,000 carloads ã and 1.5 million tons in the following two years. He noted that the Tahawus stone products might be used to rebuild the runways of JFK International Airport. He noted that Tahawus aggregate was harder and a higher grade than the other materials now available downstate. Gonyo also noted that the railwayê s Polar Express run through December had already sold 19,000 tickets, ahead of sales last year. Lake George Supervisor Dennis Dickinson hailed Gonyoê s news. –These changes are great for the county and itê s communities ã and for everybody.”

said that up-and-coming artists with top-notch musicianship and proven name recognition would likely be chosen. An outdoor music festival of contemporary country music is rare in the region, yet a tremendous number of fans of the idiom live in Northeastern New York. Strong and Blais expect that the event festival will draw 3,000 to 5,000 people in either July or August. These estimates could be conservative, local officials said this week. Although Blais couldnê t be reached as he was on vacation in the Carolinas this last week, Deputy Mayor John Earl offered his thoughts about the festival plans. –Nothing has a broader audience in our region than country music,” he said. “I’ve seen country acts fill the Glens Falls Civic Center.” Lake George Trustee Ray Perry said he supported the concept. Plans call for the Village of Lake George and the Town of Lake George to contribute $5,000 each as seed money to get the festival off the ground in the first year. –Iê m all for the festival,” Perry said. –Even though Iê m not personally a big fan of the music.” Plans call for the event to perhaps feature a mini-rodeo, a barbecue and a horse show during the weekend ã likely at another venue in the region. The Arts Project and mayor have submitted a request to the Warren County Occupancy Tax committee for $25,000 in funding. Their request cites a budget for the festival of $62,900. Strong said an admission fee would be charged, unlike the free-admission policy of the Jazz Weekend. The event is to serve as a fundraiser for the Arts Project. Village Board member Joe Mastrodomenico predicted the festival would bring thousands of people into Lake George for a summer weekend. –If it takes off like it should, it will have to be moved to a bigger venue,” he said.

The Chestertown Rotaryê s Memory Tree has been a remarkable success in past years, with people buying a light for those who have had a positive impact on their lives. Contributions for each name will not only illuminate a light for all to see this Christmas, but will help support local families in need through the food pantry, heating fuel assistance, clothing, and other charitable efforts. Those wishing to purchase a light can mail the names of those they wish to honor with their $5 donation per light to Chestertown Rotary Club, PO Box 260, Chestertown, NY 12817. Business Alliance official Cindy Mead said the joint holiday venture was a festive way to share the holiday spirit. –This promises to be a great way for the community to get together and bring in the Holiday season,” she said.
