North Creek Depot Museum to host square dance Folk Music Festival scheduled in Schroon By Gretchen Porier gretchen@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — The Schroon Lake Arts Council will hold its 20th annual Adirondack Folk Music Festival in the town park Sunday, Aug. 9. The concert will be noon to 5 p.m. Admission for the festival is free. The event is sponsored by Glens Falls National Bank. Concessions will be provided by the Schroon Lake Lions club. Along with the music, local artisans will be selling their wares and there will be demonstrations of Adirondack crafts. The festival will feature the talents of Roy Hurd, an Adirondack folk singer; Joan Crane, known for her finger style acoustic blues playing; and Frank Orsini, who is a prominent acoustic musician and plays the violin, viola, mandolin and celtic harp. Ed Lowman will once again grace the stage with his fiddle tunes, folk songs and fancy footwork. Sara Milonovich, also known as Sara Miles, will play her violin. John Kirk and Trish Miller will perform together, bringing their multi-instrumental talents to the stage. Kirk is known for his lyric voice and versatile instrumental skills. On fiddle, mandolin, guitar, banjo and tin whistle, Kirk demonstrates a vast knowledge of musical traditions. Miller has been teaching and performing Appalachian clogging since 1980. She plays guitar, banjo and a little ukulele. The Jamcrackers will also perform. The band features the voice and soulful ballads of Peggy Lynn, the baritone and original songs of Dan Berggren and national champion hammered dulcimer player Dan Duggan. The Jamcrackers have old-fashioned sounding folk songs that celebrate the people and culture of the Adirondacks. The mission of the Schroon Lake Arts Council is to cultivate, promote, foster, sponsor and develop the understanding, taste and love of the musical and visual arts in our community.

NORTH CREEK — The North Creek Depot Museum is hosting its annual fundraiser on Aug. 14 and invites residents to dust off those boots and join in a country dinner and hoedown. The festivities begin at 5:30 p.m. with a country dinner buffet, followed by music and square dancing by local band “Don’t Quit your Day Job” at 7 p.m. The band is generously underwritten by Creative Stage Lighting Co, Inc. “This is a family friendly event,” said Helen Miner, board president. “We hope that folks of all ages will join us for this fun night.” Proceeds will go to support the museum’s development
of an education center at its Owen’s House building. “The development of an education center is integral to providing year-round activities for the region’s schools,” said Michelle San Antonio, museum director. This fun-raiser will be held at the Hudson River Pavilion by the train station. Tickets are $20 adult, $10 for children 12 and under. Tickets purchased before Aug. 7 are discounted. Please call the museum at 251-5842 to reserve tickets, or purchase them at several businesses along Main Street in North Creek.

plane access citing the high percentage of revenue the floatplane operators generate from trips to Lows Lake. Local government officials are now troubled by the assertion that a lake bottom could potentially be classified as “wilderness,” a move they say is precedent-setting. Franklin County Legislator Paul Maroun sent a letter to APA Chairman Curt Stiles earlier this week expressing as much. “It’s not a common practice; it is a precedent-setting issue actually. What I am concerned about is two things: One, this has very serious implications for Lake Placid, Cranberry Lake and even the Raquette River. We may have to extract docks that are in there already,” he said. “If they (the APA) claim riparian rights, that means what’s under the water would belong to the State of New York now.” Maroun said the state has enough problems paying the taxes on the land it already owns. Adding lakebeds would only increase the tax-burden on the state, he said. But for environmentalists, these measures are an appropriate and necessary step in assuring the wild character of the Bog River Flow.
From page 1 with terrific refreshments, there will be a “Chinese auction,” composed of items donated by area businesses (with tickets sold for bidding on the items.) The preview party fun continues until 10 p.m. The books will be available again at Tannery Pond on Saturday Aug. 1 starting at 9 a.m. along with a fine bake sale. No admission will be charged on Saturday for either the book or bake sale; the auction will continue from the evening before. The book sale closes at 3 p.m. Saturday, so come early to get the books you’re looking for. The last hour of the sale will feature the ever-popular “buck a bag” sale. Don’t forget this most excellent annual event!
APA From page 1 p.m., Banta said. The APA has proposed a plan that would reclassify most of the land as wilderness. The access road and the two 100year old dams that are responsible for the lake’s existence would be classified as primitive, according to the APA plan. A consistently contentious issue, if adopted Lows Lake and the surrounding land would be added to the Five Ponds Wilderness Area. The matter turned especially divisive when, after an Adirondack Mountain Club lawsuit, the agency adopted a measure that will forever ban floatplane access to Lows Lake as of December 31, 2011. The lake is a favorite site of canoeists and bass fisherman alike, but some canoeists had complained that the planes were disrupting their wilderness experience. The mountain club then successfully argued that continued floatplane access was contrary to the State Land Master Plan. Before the total ban, the Department of Environmental Conservation had proposed a 10-year extension to float-
Supper, book discussion slated INDIAN LAKE — A potluck supper and discussion of the book, “Revolutionary Road” by Richard Yates will be held Thursday, Aug. 6 at 5 p.m. at Byron Park in Indian Lake. The movie will be playing at the Lake Theater at 7:30 p.m. Stick around after the movie for a reception and discussion comparing the book and the movie. Call the Indian Lake Library to sign up for the supper. This event is made possible with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Regrant Program.
