Essex County adds to radio lawyer contract By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The Essex County Board of Supervisors will continue to use its legal counsel for the radio project through the end of the year. Board members approved a resolu-
tion to amend their contract with Jackie Murray and the Murray Law Firm to authorize an additional $50,000, upping the contract from $375,000 to $425,000. The resolution also extended the contract through Dec. 31. During the Feb. 7 regular board meeting, County Attorney Daniel Manning said the extension was needed to

The Exchange at North Creek closes its doors By Andy Flynn and Katherine Clark
ESSEX CHAIN OF LAKES
P.O. BOX 338 ELIZABETHTOWN, NY 12932 POSTAL CUSTOMER
newsenterprise@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — Less than nine months after Iowa Pacific Holdings opened The Exchange at North Creek retail outlet here on Main Street, the store has closed. Opening on Memorial Day weekend and celebrating a grand opening on June 30, 2012, The Exchange locked its doors for the last time on
Wednesday, Feb. 6, according to full-time manager Lisa Cameron, who lost her job along with two others (one part time and one full time). The Exchange was a local artisan store, filling the space left vacant at Village Square plaza by the former Mountain and Boardertown ski shop. More than two dozen local artists and crafters were consigning their work, including original paintings, prints, woodwork, fiber arts, books, maps and a variety of crafts. Contacted by phone on Feb. 13, Cameron thanked the railroad for the opportunity, the

store’s artists who sold items and her customers. “When the railroad came into town and saw all the empty spaces, they wanted to do something for the good of the community,” Cameron said. “And it started out as a community project. The focus for the future was for somebody in the community or a group of community members to take over The Exchange. And nobody was really stepping up to the plate to do that.”
