Primary Officials envision fire tower vote in replica in Charles Warren Wood Park County offered some surprises By Thom Randall CORRESPONDENT
By Thom Randall CORRESPONDENT
QUEENSBURY | Warren County’s primary election June 25 offered up some surprises, chiefly because of some of the unexpected wide margins between several of the candidates. In the race to secure the Republican endorsement for Warren County sheriff, sheriff ’s department major Jim LaFarr secured 63.6 percent of the vote, defeating county Undersheriff Shawn Lamouree, 2,278 to 1,286.
LAKE GEORGE | In several years, the Lake George Village may have a major new attraction that will introduce area visitors to a revered century-old tradition in upstate
New York — an Adirondack fire tower. Th is week, Warren County leaders endorsed an effort toward seeking state funding to construct a replica of a traditional Adirondack fire tower in the Charles R. Wood Park as a tourist attraction. But the tower won’t be used as its coun-
terparts were in the early 1900s to spot forest fires — it will instead offer tourists and area residents a view of Lake George they’ve never seen before — as well as provide a history lesson about how for decades fire rangers were able to preserve millions of acres of wild forest. » Fire tower Cont. on pg. 7
Original plans for the Charles R. Wood Park development drafted by Elan Planning in 2011 depicted a replica of an Adirondack fire tower and a pedestrian bridge over West Brook Road as two primary attractions of the venue. In recent weeks, interest has resurfaced about constructing such a tower, while the idea of the bridge was abandoned due to its expense. Illustration courtesy of Elan Planning
