Residents evading 2020 census count could cost county $20 million WARREN COUNT Y | Not getting every Warren County resident to participate in the federal 2020 Census this year could mean the loss of many millions of federal dollars, crimping local government services, county leaders said recently. County officials have estimated that if merely 650 county resident aren’t documented in the census, a reduction of nearly $20 million

in funding for vital local governmental services is likely to occur over the next decade. The reduced funding would curtail the 55 or so federal programs for which allocations are calculated on the census’ population data, they said. In New York, programs tied to census information represent about $73 billion in federal funding. See CENSUS » pg. 3
Glens Falls man wins $2.5 million NYS Lottery prize lucky, Stimpson smiled — and paused to select the right word. “Do I consider myself ‘lucky’? No, I consider myself fortunate,” Stimpson responded, gazing at his girlfriend Tanya Scoville who was standing beside him. “This is a special place for us,” he said, noting that four years ago, he met Scoville when his daughter worked at the Cumberland Farms store — where he bought his winning Jackpot ticket about a month ago. Stimpson, until recently a Walmart product assembler, walked into the Bay Street Cumberland Farms Jan. 2 and redeemed a $20 win on a scratchoff Lottery ticket, then bought two more and returned to his car.

Brant Lake Winter Carnival set for Feb. 15
Lake George Winter Carnival’s week 2 offers family fun
All-afternoon event By Thom Randall CORRESPONDENT
BRANT LAKE | One of northern Warren County’s most anticipated winter events — Brant Lake Winter Carnival — is to occur next weekend, offering a variety of activities for all ages. Held primarily on top of the lake, from noon to 6:45 p.m., on Saturday, Feb. 15, the carnival will feature human foosball competitions, a frying pan toss contest, ice bowling, hockey shoot-offs, curling contests, a broomball tournament, plus a vintage snowmobile display and parade. The activities will conclude with fireworks over the lake, beginning at approximately 6:15 p.m. The carnival is to be held at Jimbo’s on the Point off Route 8 in Horicon, a few miles northeast of the Brant Lake hamlet. Featuring fierce-but-friendly competition plus $1,000 in prize money, the crowd-pleasing annual outhouse races are to be held on the lake ice beginning at 4 p.m. Also a crowd favorite is the frying pan toss contests, which are divided into age groups and gender. Youngsters are welcome to participate in the competition, in which people attempt to throw frying pans the farthest. For the youngest competitors, miniature frying pans are used.
A group of all-terrain vehicle riders drive along the lakeside walkway during a prior year’s Lake George Winter Carnival. This year’s edition of the popular four-weekend event resumes this Saturday and Sunday featuring an ATV Poker Run, a barbecue cookoff, bonfires by the beach, a dog talent show, and a karaoke contest — as well as an array of children’s activities.
