AN ADIRONDACK AFFAIR

Ski trains, dome cars, dinner trips and freight traffic proposed for county railway By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — Warren County’s existing scenic railway could soon have gracious dome cars, offer upscale dinner excursions, bring well-heeled skiers from downstate to Gore Mountain and offer affordable commuting for local workers — if a rail enterprise seeking a contract with the county has their way. Such a multi-faceted railway service took a step closer to reality Tuesday when Warren County Supervisors decided to interview and negotiate with the railway company, Iowa Pacific Holding, LLC which offers 10 railways in the rural U.S. and two in England. Iowa Pacific was one of three firms submitting proposals to operate the

North Country Outreach Center seeks local input on name change By Lindsay Yandon lindsay@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — The North Country Outreach Center hopes to soon learn the answer to the age-old question, “what’s in a name?” The organization has decided to change its name and recently released a request to local citizens to assist them in the process in the form of a “name that center” campaign. “We are a growing organization and we felt it was time for a change,” said administrative director, Andrea Hogan. The North Country Outreach Center has been experiencing recent confusion between itself and North Country Ministry, an organization operating out of the village of North Creek. The ministry owns the outreach center building and also owns and operates the apartment buildings neighboring the outreach center, but the two are separately operating organizations.

“We hope to soon purchase our building from the ministry,” said Hogan. “And we feel that this name change will alleviate some of the confusion between the two.” The outreach center has requested that the local community get involved with the name change and suggest new names for the organization. “We felt that it would be a fun way to get people involved and help us in the process,” said Hogan. The current logo will remain and the organization hopes a new name will be in place by Thanksgiving. The North Country Outreach Center, a completely volunteer entity, houses the local food pantry, a family clothing center, hosts GED classes and provides an affordable space for local events. “We are always looking for volunteers and we hope the new things happening will stir up some support in the form of volunteers and donations,” said Hogan.

The sign that marks the entrance to the North Country outreach Center on Route 28 in North Creek will soon sport a new name. Local residents will have input in the name change through the organizations “Name That Center” campaign. Photo by Lindsay Yandon
