Horicon citizens grieve Turcotte death said the day after Turcotte’s death. Simpson said he’d heard that Turcotte had once plunged into frigid lakewater to help a man retrieve his snowmobile after it had fallen through the ice. “I’ve heard stories about how Joe did a lot of things to help people out — if you needed a hand, he was there — that’s the kind of guy he was.” Simpson said that Turcotte’s outreach to others was reflected in his service as a member of the Horicon town planning board. “Joe took his responsibilities seriously on the planning board,” Simpson said. “He was very thoughtful and sincere — he was just such a great guy, and he did a great job representing the community’s citizens.” Horicon Planning Board Chairman Bill McGhie expressed similar thoughts about Turcotte’s service to the town. “Joe didn’t talk much, but when he spoke,

HORICON | Joseph D. Turcotte — who died Sept. 26 when his pickup truck was slammed from behind by a vehicle whose driver authorities said was fleeing from police — was recalled by grieving Horicon officials as a communityminded, earnest and compassionate man who would reach out to others in need. Turcotte, 38, was a member of the Town of Horicon Planning Board as well as a partner and craftsman at Gar Wood Custom Boats — a Turcotte family enterprise of national renown. “Joe cared deeply for our community, and its citizens,” Horicon Supervisor Matt Simpson

you had to listen — he had such good ideas,” McGhie said. “It will be hard now to look at his empty chair at board meetings — he was such an asset to our town.” Simpson said he had greeted Turcotte at The Crossroads general store shortly before the crash occurred. “This is just so tragic — I’m blown away about this,” Simpson said, adding how Turcotte was “an exceptional craft sman” at building custom wooden boats. Police said that Turcotte, 38, died due to the collision on the northbound I-87 Exit 25 off-ramp. The driver of the vehicle that police said hit Turcotte’s pickup from behind — Skyler B. Crouse, 30, of Akwesasne Mohawk territory — was charged with second-degree manslaughter, first-degree reckless endangerment, unlawful fleeing of a police officer and resisting arrest.

By Thom Randall I think the community should take a hard look at this idea — It would provide great benefits.”

LAKE GEORGE | Momentum is now surging to establish a performing arts center in Lake George, but the nature of such a venue, its fi nancial viability and its cost has sparked public controversy. At the Sept. 16 Lake George Village Board meeting, the village board voted 4-1 to obtain an appraisal, at a cost of $2,750, of the Lake George Forum property and two other lots to the south, which host a former real estate office and the now-closed Village Motor Court motel. The cost of appraisal is to be split evenly with the town of Lake George. All three properties are owned by Ralph Macchio, and he is seeking to sell them together for $6 million, Lake George Mayor Blais said. The appraisal would be an initial step toward establishing a performing arts center/events center in the 50,000 squarefeet Forum building and using the other two lots for parking.

Chester to apply for grant to repair dam By Thom Randall CORRESPONDENT

CHESTER | Responding to complaints about boat and personal watercraft operators on Loon Lake flaunting town regulations, the Chester town board is moving toward reinstituting the position of lake constable to patrol the waterway and enforce municipal laws. In 2018, the board abandoned the position of Loon Lake constable — empowered to issue citations for violations — replacing it with the post of lake safety officer, whose duties were merely to educate the public on safe and legal watercraft operation.

Lake George municipal leaders have taken an initial step in establishing a concert hall/ events center in the village, and the preferred venue is considered to be the Lake George Forum, which has only hosted several events in the past year. Although enthusiasm has blossomed recently for such a civic center, some people have questioned its financial viability as well as whether it is appropriate or possible for The Forum or any other building to adequately serve as both a performing arts center and a convention hall.

“Adirondack Exposure 2020,” a calendar of near-naked residents of North Creek and nearby communities made its debut at a party held Sept. 29 at Basil & Wicks tavern in North Creek — and it is now available for purchase at various stores throughout the area. The full-color calendar — a wry parody of the racy mid-century pinup calendars — features people ranging from their mid-30s to their 80s in an array of scenes in the area, engaging in their work, hobbies or various pastimes, all minus clothing.

Complaints have increased this summer about watercraft exceeding speed limits on Loon Lake, prompting town of Chester officials to consider re-establishing the post of lake constable, a peace officer empowered to issue citations for violations, to patrol the lake.
