Saturday’s ‘Adirondack Shindig’ to feature tours of restored historic church Live music, yard sales, socializing prominent in annual event By Thom Randall CORRESPONDENT
HORICON | A much-anticipated community event held annually in a hamlet near the border of Warren and Essex counties — and which features live music, dancing, food and raffles as well as dozens of yard sales — has a new focus this year. Adirondack Shindig, to occur Saturday Aug. 10 in the hamlet of Adirondack adjacent to Schroon Lake, is to feature tours of the former Union Church, which has been restored for use by the Town of Horicon Historical Society. The restoration project for the 1881 church, ongoing for years, included constructing a new foundation, installing a new roof, repairing the steeple, restoring substantial damage to the interior walls, ceilings and floors, and installing new electrical wiring and lighting. The yard sales — with tables of new and used goods set up primarily around the memorial park downtown, are to be held between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., although some browsers arrive earlier. » Shindig Cont. on pg. 3

Local officials hail $500k grant toward new sewer plant, but call for more help By Thom Randall CORRESPONDENT
Standing on MacDonald Pier off Lake George’s Shepard Park Beach, U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik talks about how her work toward expanding the jurisdiction of the federal Northern Border Regional Commission enabled a new $500,000 grant toward building Lake George’s planned $24 million sewer treatment plant, while deferring credit to other federal legislators including Sen. Charles Schumer. Listening to Stefanik talk about the grant funding are (left to right): state Sen. Betty Little, Lake George Association Executive Director Walt Lender, and Lake George Mayor Robert Blais. Photo by Thom Randall
Youth Fair set for Saturday
LAKE GEORGE | Local municipal officials and leaders of environmental organizations expressed appreciation to U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik last week for her help in lining up a $500,000 grant to pay toward construction of the village’s new sewer plant, estimated to cost $24 million. The grant would reduce the $17 million debt town and village taxpayers are now facing to build a new high-technology sewer plant that the state has mandated for the village to have in operation by Aug. 2020. Stefanik visited Lake George July 30 and met with local officials on MacDonald Pier off
Shepard Park Beach to talk about the $500,000 grant — announced five days earlier — from the federal Northern Border Regional Commission. Stefanik said she successfully lobbied the government to expand the commission’s jurisdiction to include Warren and Essex counties, which enabled the grant being pledged toward the plant’s debt. “When you think about the amount of dollars invested in this community, a functioning wastewater treatment facility is critically important,” she said, adding that obtaining the grant was a team effort between the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate, naming Sen. Schumer as a key legislator in the lobbying work.

KEENE VALLEY | Forty-five years ago, seven women who had just met at a women’s retreat in Paradox decided to buy a fading old lodge in a rural community north of Lake George, and convert it into a sanctuary for women who felt they lacked standing in a male dominated society.
