WARRENSBURG — The fruit that is embraced as a love charm or a means to immortality in traditional folklore will be the center of attention at this week’s Warrensburgh Farmers’ Market. The market will be holding its second annual Apple Festival from 3 to 6 p.m. Friday Sept. 18, featuring apple-related recipes and samplings, horticultural information, canning demonstrations and more. A wide variety of organic apples will be on sale, as well as the market’s weekly array of

local produce, the bulk of it naturally grown or organic. The festival will also feature local artisans demonstrating and selling their wares. An apple dessert contest is to be held, with the winners earning “Adirondack Bucks” that can be spent with local businesses. Free apple cider and doughnuts will be available. Information on how to select, plant and nurture apple trees will be provided by Cornell Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners. The event’s ambiance will feature acoustic music by Dylan Jacobs, performing live in the >> Story Continued | pg. 20

LG preps forJazz Weekend Political newcomers show returns for 2015 with strength in Primary races ‘over the top’ lineup By Thom Randall

LAKE GEORGE — For more than 30 years, the Lake George Jazz Weekend has offered the public a diverse array of innovative, accomplished musicians who have explored new territory for jazz, expanding the genre through their careers. For this year’s Jazz Weekend, as in past editions, the lineup of musicians is stellar — and one of the main reasons for this has been that Paul Pines, who was proprietor of the nowlegendary Manhattan jazz club The Tin Palace, has served as curator of this annual festival since it was launched in 1984. Pines, a poet and author, has recruited a remarkable array of jazz artists over the years for the festival — from world-renowned mu-

sicians to those poised for greatness — and they collectively embody the diversity, innovation and exploration of the musical art form. And for the 2015 edition of this free lakeside jazz festival, set for Saturday Sept. 19 and Sunday Sept. 20 in the Shepard Park amphitheater, this tradition continues. Pines said Tuesday that the roster of musicians embraces this theme of exploring a wide array of musical genres. “This year, we have a really out-of-the-box, over the top lineup,” Pines said. The performances start at 1 p.m. Saturday with the Julian Lage Trio. A guitarist and composer, Julian Lage gained international recognition beginning in 1997 as a child prodigy through the documentary film “Jules at Eight” which was nominated for an Academy Award. Since then, Lage has recorded with such stars as Gary Burton, David Grisman, Eric Harland, and Yoko Ono. Julian’s >> Story Continued | pg. 20

QUEENSBURY — In a low voter turnout across Warren County despite some intensely fought candidacies, several incumbent Republicans lost their party’s ballot line in the Sept. 10 Primary elections. But in a county-wide race, attorney Paulette Kershko beat Daniel Mannix 1,757 to 1,201 in a contest for the official G.O.P. nomination for the new Warren County Family Court Judge post. The new judgeship, established by the state due to an

ever-increasing workload for Judge Timothy Breen, has a term of 10 years. This election-night tally is subject to change as absentee ballots are counted this week. Having served as Warren County Family Court Attorney for 10 years, Kershko had already garnered the endorsement of the county’s Republican, Conservative, and Independence parties committees. Over 15 years in her Family Court posts in both Warren and Schenectady counties, she has written thousands of decisions for the Family Court judges, as well as conducting research

and refereeing cases. Mannix, who has represented many hundreds of clients in Family Court, is now out of the race as he had only sought the G.O.P. nomination — unless the absentee
