State’s inaction on mortgage tax renewal may crimp county budgets By Thom Randall STA FF W RITER
LAKE GEORGE | Warren County government may lose between $250,000 and $900,000 of revenue in 2019 due to the state legislature not taking action to endorse the renewal of its mortgage tax law. Every three years, the state legislature must re-approve the renewal of county-imposed mortgage taxes. The Albany Times-Union cited in a recent article that Essex County’s mortgage tax revenue is also at risk despite the county’s board of supervisors voting early this summer to renew the tax. Warren County supervisors registered concern Sept. 28 at a committee meeting as county Clerk Pam Vogel said the mortgage tax is to expire Dec. 1 — and the state legislature has not taken action to renew the tax as expected early this summer before their recess. » Budgets Cont. on pg. 2
Movies shot locally featured in upcoming Adk. Film Festival By Thom Randall STA FF W RITER
GLENS FALLS | The historical film “Radium Girls” — shot in Lake George and elsewhere in Warren County — is to be one of six headliners in the Adirondack Film Festival, set for Oct. 18 through Oct. 21 in Glens Falls. “Radium Girls” examines the fate and legacy of the female factory workers who painted watch dials with luminous
radioactive paint at the United States Radium factory in New Jersey. The film received considerable attention at its world premiere this spring at the Tribeca Film Festival. The drama depicts the how two working sisters — among dozens of the young female workers who were told radium was harmless and were instructed to lick their paintbrushes as they painted those dials — waged a legal fight for compensation, and prompted historic legal precedents relating to workers rights. » Film fest Cont. on pg. 2

LAKE GEORGE | Although Lake George alumni, present-day and former teachers, administrators and students gathered Sept. 21 to observe the 50th anniversary of the Lake George Elementary school building, they focused instead on the school community’s commitment to academic innovation and excellence — and for developing leadership and civic responsibility in its students “The design of this building allowed each of us, along with our amazing teaching staff,
to provide creative and dynamic approaches to educating our students,” Lake George Elementary School Principal Jim Conway said. The open classrooms with moveable walls allowed teachers to configure customized spaces to teach collaboratively, and mentor students arranged in “clusters” rather than in grade levels, he said. “Th is building has allowed us to provide opportunities for our students that other school districts only dream of,” Conway said, adding with a smile that the school’s carpeting and air conditioning also enhanced the students’ experience.
