Lake George officials eye site for foreign worker housing Vacant former resort hotel part of proposed plans By Thom Randall CORRESPONDENT

LAKE GEORGE | The sprawling abandoned hillside building off Northway Exit 21 that was once the Lake View Hotel & Conference Center — and decades earlier the Lake George Ramada Inn — may be full of life in a year or two, if tentative plans become reality. Lake George town officials revealed this week they have proposed to the present property owner Joseph Gross that the vacant building be rehabilitated and developed into housing for foreign workers — for at least several years while the property is awaiting sale or redevelopment. For decades, Lake George Village has annually hosted up to 1,000 or more foreign students who take on seasonal hospitality jobs, and these workers are vital in keeping Lake George’s hospitality businesses thriving. But providing adequate housing for the workers has been a problem, as they have incurred such issues as room overcrowding, unsafe or unhealthy conditions, exorbitant rents and rental deposits being retained without cause.

Memorial Day in Warrensburg Praise for parenting, vintage vehicles and hand-holding By Thom Randall CORRESPONDENT

citizens gathered May 27 for Warrensburg’s annual Memorial Day ceremony. After he and others praised the soldiers and sailors who sacrificed their lives for the nation, he turned attention to those gathered to pay their respects. “Everywhere I go in this town, young people come up to me and say ‘Thank you for your service,’” said Pierce, who grew up in New York City. “Your children are the most respectful youngsters I’ve met anywhere, and that’s a reflec-

tion on the local parents.” But Pierce also had some advice for the young folks in the crowd — he urged them to listen to the stories of their elders. “Youngsters, if an older veteran wants to talk, don’t roll your eyes and say ‘Oh Grandpa, I’ve heard this story before’ — instead, listen to what they have to say, because once they pass on, their stories are gone.” » Memorial Day Cont. on pg. 5

‘Free store’ coming to Lake George landfill For exchange of wares By Thom Randall CORRESPONDENT

LAKE GEORGE | Residents of the Town of Lake George will have a new aspect to their mundane visits to the town transfer station — treasure hunting. Lake George Town Board member Marisa Muratori — known for embracing environmental awareness and social responsibility — is establishing a self-serve “free store” at the town transfer station. The concept was endorsed by the Lake George town board at their May 13 meeting. Muatori has located a quaint shingle-roof shed —

Among the law enforcement officers participating in the May 24 media event on the southwest shore of Lake George promoting sober boating are (left to right): Warren County Undersheriff Shawn Lamouree; county Patrol Officer Gregory Dunn; Joe Johns, Law Enforcement Director of the Lake George Park Commission; and Angelo Paccione, sergeant at the latter agency.

complete with flower boxes and decorative doors — that she’s soon having moved to the transfer station where people can drop off quality items of value that they no longer need, for others to adopt and take home. Muratori said this “Free Store” will be similar to the Chester Reuse Center, for decades a popular destination in northern Warren County. This indoor facility, operated by the Town of Chester next to its transfer station and recycling center, has for many years hosted all sorts of gently used or new household goods, furniture, toys, small and large home appliances, sporting goods and some tools. Most all the items are sorted and arranged on shelves, and clothing — both for children and adults — is neatly hung on racks.

Campaign for sober boating launched LAKE GEORGE | With the summer tourism season now underway, area law enforcement officials are urging boaters to not pilot their watercraft after they have consumed alcoholic beverages. Four area sheriff ’s departments, the Lake George Park Commission police, a beverage distributer and a law practice are working together in an effort called “Operation Sober Boater” to promote safety on area waterways.

On May 24, representatives of the Warren, Fulton, Albany and Saratoga counties’ sheriff ’s departments hosted a media event on the shore of Lake George to kick off the initiative for 2019. Warren County Undersheriff Shawn Lamouree said personnel of the four agencies will be circulating to area taverns and restaurants soon distributing posters, flyers and various giveaways — keychains, posters, sunglasses and beverage insulators known as “koozies” — all emblazened with the message of sober boating. “We’re getting the word out that law enforcement in the
