denpubs@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE Ñ The latest wrinkle in the allegations of non-payment of property taxes, water and sewer fees by Mark T. and Robin L. Brand comes from Jefferson County Attorney David J. Paulsen. The Brands were the shareholders of Romark Constructions Co. The Evan Mills property upon which the taxes and fees are alleged to be unpaid since 1992 was an asset of this company. The company purchased the vacant gas station and made improvements that resulted in a laundromat and a total of four apartments in two buildings. The company was dissolved in 2001 by bankruptcy. It is PaulsenÕ s suggestion that the Brands became owners of the property when they decided to dissolve the bankrupt corporation Ò by proclamationÓ under New York State Corporate Business Law. According to Paulsen, Ò My suggestion is that, from an objective standpoint, they had acted in all respects as owners subsequent to the dissolution of the corporation. Therefore, my presumption is the shareholders of the dissolved corporation elected to assume control of the corporate asset.Ó Brand, a former Indian River School board member and the current Superintendent of the Indian Lake Central School contends that he is not the legal owner of the two buildings in the village of Evans Mills despite the fact that three of the four apartments in the buildings are occupied by tenants who pay him rent.
Lutheran church holds Germanfest
Members of the Seagle Music Colony came to Minerva Central School on Tuesday, Sept. 23, to perform an abridged version of Engelbert Humperdinck‘s Hansel and Gretel. Students in grades K-6 from both Minerva and Newcomb thoroughly enjoyed the show and had some great questions for the performers, who are accomplished opera students and professionals from around the country. This program was made possible, in part, through a grant funded by the Community Fund for the Gore Mountain Region. Photo provided

NORTH CREEK Ñ The Tannery Pond Community Center has been around for 13 years to serve the community of Johnsburg as well as its visitors. TPCC provides a facility to experience the arts, a space for recreational activities, and a spot to benefit residents and their endeavors. Executive Director Bernadette Speach wants the center to become even more than it already is. Speach has began looking into the future for all of
the potential TPCC has between its walls and behind its doors. A composer, professional pianist, and as of 2012 the Executive Director of TPCC, Speach is truly a jack of all trades. Her sincere connection to the community complements her ambitious attitude, leaving the Tannery Pond Community Center in good hands. Ò The usage of the space has grown immensely from July 2012 to July 2014,Ó Speach says, handing over an extensive list of the history of building use. The list details the types of uses the center serves for its users, ranging from health, to education, town meetings, to art exhibits- this place can do it all.
Speach explains that the center, in the past, was mainly used by priority members for scheduling meetings and events. Main uses of the space also fell in the hands of retired community members who used the center for a variety of purposes. Ò Groups of people here have a very rich history that is long and deep,Ó Speech said as an elderly man walked in to speak with her. A place truly made for and by the community, Speech commented that, Ò some people have been here for awhile and have made a great impact.Ó CONTINUED ON PAGE 3
