Local father and son honored in ‘Hometown Heroes’ banner display

New generation learns about the horror of Sept. 11 attacks Memorial ceremony in Warrensburg focused on how life has changed since Sept. 11, 2001

By Thom Randall CORRESPONDENT

WARRENSBURG | Town of Chester Supervisor Craig Leggett gazed up at two banners — hanging side-by-side on a utility pole in Pottersville — depicting local veterans Harry Smith Jr. and his father Harry Smith. “Recognizing people who gave a significant contribution to who we are as a community is important,” Leggett said, noting that hundreds of people, maybe thousands, will see them daily as they drive past — and those images will spark memories, or a feeling of gratitude for their military service. “To see them honored like this — I feel closer to home.” Minutes earlier on Sept. 11, a group of community leaders and veterans gathered to witness the installation of the banners — the first two to be installed in a Hometown Heroes campaign sponsored by the local VFW Post 5513. The initiative calls for the banners honoring past and present U.S. military personnel to be displayed along main roadways in the towns of Chester and Horicon.

New York City and northern New Jersey when a friend told him about a business opportunity, a Sunoco station, in a place called Schroon Lake. After the hubbub of the city, the Adirondacks was a refreshing break, and when another Sunoco station — this one even deeper in the woods — came on the market in 2014, Ahmad bought that too. At the exit for Newcomb and North Hudson, it might just have been about the loneliest Sunoco in the east, and after dark the yellow glow of its elevated sign provided a shining beacon of hope for Northway travelers whose gas gauges did pointeth to “E”.

Muhammad “Mo” Ahmad stands out front of the familiar A-frame building that was, and may be in the future, a welcome center for Frontier Town.

LAKE GEORGE | A recent four-day survey of Lake George for Asian Clams indicates that these mollusks have spread to three new sites in Lake George, joining 24 other sites where the invasive

species has been found. Asian Clams were discovered at the Fort Ann Beach on the east side of Lake George, at Still Bay Resort and at Sun Castle Resort. These latter two sites are 2.8 and 1.6 miles north of Lake George Village on the west side of the lake.
