State audit ESSEX COUNTY SEEKING finds fault JUDGMENT AGAINST with Schroon SLAUGHTERHOUSE record keeping Now-shuttered Adirondack Meat Company Town hall expansion ran over by nearly $100,000 state says

under investigation

» Slaughterhouse Cont. on pg. 7

By Tim Rowland STA FF W RITER

SCHROON LAKE | A state audit has concluded that the Town of Schroon failed to use proper accounting practices for a $1.45 million expansion that added new municipal court and library space to its town hall, and must repay money the town advanced to the project to cover cost overruns. To pay for bills that were coming due, the town advanced the project $117,155, auditors said. The project fund ran out of money still owing the town nearly $98,000. Further, auditors said, at any given time, it would have been difficult to gauge the true financial condition of the project, which was recently completed after two and a half years of work, because nothing was put in writing until the project’s bank account was reconciled at year’s end. » Audit Cont. on pg. 2

FORT ANNE ANTIQUES

PORT HENRY | For the past 14 years, campers at Bulwagga Bay have had more than the breathtaking view across Lake Champlain to Vermont’s Green Mountains to look forward to each summer. They’ve had potluck suppers, bingo, Halloween parties, Christmas in July celebrations and most of all the soft southern style of Wayne and Ruth Plunkett, who’ve managed the campground for the Town of Moriah and welcomed back old friends year after year as the weather warmed. Next year, however, will be different. Wayne and Ruth are retiring to their home in Aiken, South Carolina, replacing the camp-

ground business with antiquing and watching their great grandchildren grow up. “We’re going to miss them bad, bad, bad,” said camper Connie Stoddard, who assists the Plunketts in the office that is shared with their pet bird Sadie, who repeats back parts of a visitor’s conversation, adding a bit of an acquired southern drawl. “They brought a lot of great southern hospitality to the North Country,” said Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava during a lunch at the town offices thrown in the Plunketts’ honor. Wayne said he and Ruth lived by something along the lines of a campground Golden Rule. “I tried to treat the campers like I would myself,” he said. “I want to make sure everything is clean and everyone is happy. Because it’s the people who make the campground.” Bulwagga has over 150 campsites, mostly rented by the season by people who live within 150 to 200 miles of Port Henry and return year after year, Plunkett said. » Campground Cont. on pg. 2
