Tolkan, Richards help out Hollywood By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

Au SABLE FORKS Ñ Community members showed up in droves to help raise funds for a local theater threatened with Ò Go Digital or Go Dark.Ó A full house attended a night of music at the Hollywood Theater Aug. 18, which included an appearance by actor and Lake Placid resident James Tolkan. Ò The continued success of the movies depends on theaters like this one,Ó said Tolkan, who is most famous for his roles in the Ò Back to the FutureÓ trilogy and Ò Top Gun.Ó Tolkan said he was approached by Jay Town Supervisor Randy Douglas about appearing to help the fundraiser.

Ò I think that it is my civic responsibility to help out the local communities that I am a part of, and when they called I wanted to help out,Ó he said. Ò We called James about two weeks ago and he said he had to see if his wife would let him do it,Ó Douglas said. Ò We were very grateful that he was able to come and help us out.Ó Along with Tolkan, theater-goers to the fundraiser were treated to a musical review of several classic movies by Susan Richards and Eric Klotzko. Ò Susan approached me about this and said that she was going to do this and do everything in her power to make sure that we were able to stay here,Ó Hollywood co-owner

Sierra Hanf said. Ò She is quite the draw and she has a beautiful voice.Ó Richards, who works in the supervisorÕ s office, said she had the full support of her boss once she decided to hold the event. Ò This is something that is really special to him, and he is such a dedicated person to this community,Ó Richards said. Ò My brother, sister and I would always run over to watch the movies here,Ó said Douglas, who grew up across the street from the Hollywood. Ò We are so very thankful to Sierra and (husband) Corey because they have been so dedicated to everything that goes on in the community, and we are happy to help and assist them in any way that we can.Ó

KEENE VALLEY Ñ Ten students from Keene Central School were able to see the culmination of a two-year fundraising effort when they spent 12 days in Spain. The students, led by Peg Wilson, traveled from JFK Airport June 27 and arrived in Madrid the following day. The students then visited sites in Madrid before traveling to Salamanca to stay with host families for seven days. The group also visited Avila before returning to Madrid and flying home July 8. Ò This was the schoolÕ s third trip to Spain but the first one completely organized and conducted by the two Spanish teachers,Ó Wilson said. Ò Sarah Tremblay (Spanish teacher grades 7-12) and I (elementary Spanish teacher) agreed that this trip was highly successful and would do it again in a heart beat.Ó Wilson said the students raised funds for the trip in various ways. Ò Besides bake sales and flower bulb sales, each student contributed a portion of the cost,Ó she said. Ò In addition, the group received support from the High Peaks Education Foundation, the Cadahemark Foundation, the Medtronics Foundation, the Adirondack Community Trust and the Keene Central Parent Teacher Committee and moral support from the Board of Education.Ó Through the trip, Wilson said the students were expected to use what they had learned in the classroom.
