Evelyn Wood seeks to take a different path

Evelyn Wood takes time off from her daily chores Friday to take her Arabian horse ‘Burner’ for a walk on her extended family’s 117-acre hillside farm off Elmer Wood Rd. in Thurman. Wood is running for Thurman Town Supervisor — the youngest candidate for the post in recent history. If elected, she’ll be the first woman to ever hold the office.

Young tourist Christopher Peterson, 6, gets buried Monday by his siblings (clockwise from left): Ann, 13, Tommy, 5, and John, 11 at Shepard Park Beach. The Peterson family, from Bethlehem Pa. are among the many thousands of visitors who have contributed to a robust tourist year in Lake George.

profit agency runs a soup kitchen on South Street in Glens Falls. The county is now paying an average of $64.50 per night to house the homeless, which ranges from five or so during summer months to 30 or more during the peak
