John Carr, owner of two restaurants in Lake George, poses with a container of waste canola oil, which he uses to power his vehicle, a 1983 Mercedes sedan. Carr rejects suggestions he get a new, costly gas-guzzler, choosing environmental benefits over status-seeking. Photo by Thom Randall

Patrick Shannon, an 11-year-old equestrian rider from Queensbury competes in a horse show held Aug. 7 in conjunction with the Warren County Youth Fair. Sponsored by Warren County Cornell Cooperative Extension, the 2010 youth fair featured exhibits, games competitions and demonstrations, and was deemed a success by sponsors and attendees. The 2010 fair event hosted more exhibit entries than recent years, authorities said. Judging Shannon’s horse “Warpaint” is Kristie Beals, while Jeni Lustyik of Oregon, 10, watches the action.

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — The first several days of the Last of the Mohicans Outdoor Drama, staged in the interior courtyard at the historic Fort William Henry through the weekend, hosted sellout crowds. This strong, positive response demonstrated not only considerable enthusiasm for the drama, but that the long-awaited production, envisioned to be a permanent local attraction, may indeed have a bright future, its sponsors said. The audience was treated this weekend to an action-packed presentation complete with cannon and musket fire, characters bearing fiery torches, Native American drumming and dancing, live horses, and special effects including pyrotechnics providing an illusion that the Fort itself was ablaze around the audience..
