Area officials, citizens celebrate debut of new Chester Stewart’s Shop By Thom Randall CORRESPONDENT

WARREN COUNTY | While many hundreds of people were drawn to the new, far-larger Stewart’s Shop convenience store on Route 8 in Chester at its grand-opening event Nov. 8 for free ice cream and other promotions, area officials attending a ribbon-cutting ceremony focused on the generosity of the family-owned corporation, and how their stores enhance local communities. U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik and State Assemblyman Dan Stec both mentioned these themes as they spoke at the celebration. “In my Congressional district, I have 194 towns and villages, and Stewart’s Shops are the heartbeat of so many of these communities — they are so much more than a grocery store,” Stefanik said. “When I drive around my district, they’re like an oasis for me.”

While people were packing the new enlarged Chester Stewart’s Shop for its grand-opening celebration, area officials and community members gathered in front of the convenience store for a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Holding up the ends of the ribbon are (left side, left to right): Glens Falls YMCA’s Brian Bearor, state Assemblyman Dan Stec and U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik, and (left side) Chester town board member Karen DuRose — while store manager Vicky Tucker (center) prepares to cut the ribbon. Representatives of the North Warren Chamber of Commerce and the Tri-Lakes Community Alliance were also on hand.

LAKE GEORGE | Working at her office desk Nov. 7, Lake George Town Assessor Lori Barber heard her computer bleep, signaling that an email had arrived in her inbox. Her face lighting up with a broad smile, Barber turned to Sandy Cocozza-Spellburg. “Albany Med’s transplant immunology department just received the final test results, which show total compatibility — the final cross-match is complete, it’s perfect — so it’s a ‘go.’” Sandy grinned. “This is so good — it’s scary but it’s exciting because it’s such a heroic thing for you to do,” she said. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Barber. “I believe you were meant to be
