Snowmobile connector blocked Supervisors say ruling defining saplings as timber is nonsensical By Tim Rowland STA FF W RITER
RAY BROOK | Environmentalists were pleased and supervisors in Five Towns were exasperated after a court ruling that, at least for now, appears to block construction of snowmobile trails connecting communities in the central Adirondacks. » Trails Cont. on pg. 9
At the July 10 dedication of the new Warren County arraignment court, county supervisors, government employees, and area judicial and public safety officials listen to Glens Falls Judge Gary Hobbs talk about the positive impact that the new court and its centralized sessions will provide for victims, suspects, judges, police officers — and county taxpayers.

QUEENSBURY | Warren County government made a substantial change in their judicial system last week that is intended to protect the Constitutional rights of suspects, uphold the public’s right to witness court proceedings and protect the safety of crime victims. On July 12, the county launched a new system for centralized arraignments of suspects that are being held in custody by police and might be jailed. The courtroom recently constructed for these arraignments, situated on the Warren County Municipal Center campus, was dedicated July 10
with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, and is now being utilized. This new facility, along with the county’s accompanying new arraignment system, means that police officers, prosecutors and defense attorneys will no longer have to drive all over the county at any hour of the day or night to a town court for an arraignment. Also, judges won’t have to be called out unexpectedly in the middle of the night, or on weekends or holidays, to conduct these hearings. The arraignment court sessions are to be held each morning and early evening as needed, and town judges will be scheduled on a rotating basis to preside over these sessions. » Court Cont. on pg. 12

the existing store. The enterprise will have six gasoline pumps and a high-flow diesel pump, providing 13 fueling stations in all. The existing store has four gasoline pumps. The parking lot and fueling area is to be larger and reconfigured to provide a far better flow of traffic and easier parking, according to Chad Kiesow, vice president of facilities for Stewart’s Shops, which operates 337 shops in northeastern New York and several in Vermont. The new store will offer patrons more

CHESTERTOWN | Stewart’s Shops is replacing its store at 6151 State Route 8 in the Town of Chester with a new, larger shop to be built beside its current store, and site work on the project began this week. The new store is being built southeast of the existing one, which will be demolished afterward, so no interruption of the business is to occur.

The banners and signs are routinely hung on a tall fence at the T-intersection of state routes 9N and 9 — so motorists exiting the Northway and coming into Lake George via 9N directly face the banners when they are stopped at the traffic signal.
