This Week MINERVA

andy@denpubs.com LONG LAKE Ñ Town officials here are inviting residents and visitors to join them this holiday weekend for a backcountry hike, a Harvest Craft Fair and a night of jazz music. The Harvest Craft Fair will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12 at the Long Lake Town Hall, 1204 Main St. It will feature top-notch vendors, live chain saw carving demonstrations by Mike Earle and barbecue by the SmokinÕ Horseshoes of Tupper Lake. Those interested in a backcountry adventure can join Spencer Morrisey for a town-sponsored guided hike through the Indian Pass on Saturday, Oct. 12. This 10.4mile, one way through hike has been one of the more popular outings. The group will be hiking all the way through the pass from Tahawus to Lake Placid, where the little bus will pick them up. This historic hike offers easy to very difficult terrain, but along the way the views and vistas are well worth the added effort. Call 624-3077 for more information or to sign up. To end a beautiful fall day on Saturday, Oct. 12, the Tony Jenkins Jazz Trip will perform a free concert at 7 p.m. in the Long Lake Town Hall. It will be sponsored by the town of Long Lake. The band consists of Anthony Jenkins, Frank Conti, Greg Brown and Ted MacKenzie. Anthony Jenkins held his first guitar at the age of 13. CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

A small but energetic and fast group of nordic athletes, from as far away as New Jersey, raced in the village of North Creek in the Capital Region Nordic Alliance’s second annual Nordic Tune Up on Sept. 29. A two-loop 6km or four-loop 12km race distance was used to get the skiers ready for the upcoming season. U.S. Paralympian Augusto “Goose” Perez roller skied the 12km distance on a downhill snowboard with four wheels and a custom seat imitating what he will use when he represents the U.S. in the upcoming Paralympics in Sochi, Russia. CRNA President Russ Myer sends a big thank-you to the people who cheered the skiers as they traveled the course from the train station to Circle Drive, to 28N, to 28, and back to the train station from the far village entrance. “Then there was that family on Circle Drive that kept getting larger and cheering louder for all the skiers, so it is appreciated,” Myer said.
