Schroon creation welcomes campers Adirondack Logworks built stockade-style entry. By Tim Rowland STA FF W RITER
SCHROON LAKE | For Bob Rice, the train ride had just turned ugly. Armed bandits jumped aboard and demanded the passengers’ valuables. The crew resisted, and a gunfight to the death broke out. Rice survived. In fact, these gun battles on train or stagecoach were his favorite part of trips his family took to the western-styled Frontier Town theme park just off the Interstate in North Hudson. Today Frontier Town is a sad reflection of its former self, its saloons, general stores and somewhat incongruous Aframed headquarters in various stages of decay. But just down the road from these ramshackle buildings, Frontier Town environs are coming back to life, and Rice, a woodworker for Adirondack Logworks in Schroon Lake has played an early role in reviving the recreational area he loved. Rice works for Adirondack Logworks’ owner Scott Phillips, and last month the small company completed work on the first thing campers will see when they arrive for a spot of outdoor relaxation — a stockaded log entryway with “Welcome to Frontier Town” emblazoned overhead in the familiar chocolate and gold signage represented throughout the Adirondack Park. » Frontier entry Cont. on pg. 3
The new entry to the Frontier Town campground was built by Schroon Lake artisans.

ELIZABETHTOWN | Essex County Clerk Joseph Provoncha won statewide honors in Albany for his work in preserving important documents, organizing archives and making them accessible to the public. Provoncha was presented with the William H. Kelly Annual Archives Award for Excellence in Local Government Archival Program
Development, an honor given to one person from New York each year. The county clerk was notified by mail. When the envelope arrived, at first he thought it was a bill for the archivists’ magazine. “I was working on the counter that morning and I opened up the letter,” Provoncha told The Sun. “Then I read the letter and thought ‘well, this is unbelievable.’” Provoncha attended formal ceremonies last Wednesday with Essex Principal Records Management Clerk Chelsea Merrihew. State Archivist Thomas Ruller introduced Provoncha and Merrihew, heralding the clerk’s office for its “extraordinary commitment to promoting the identification, preservation and the use of local government records. » Award Cont. on pg. 4
