Welcome Americaders

June in the Adirondacks is filled with sunlit skies, clear air and clean water, budding flowers....and the wonderful din of Rock n' Roll (The annual Elvis Festival last weekend) and now this week we roll out the red carpet to over 35,000 touring motorcyclists from all over the country...and the world! ( I met someone from Israel and the UK two years ago!)

In heading back from a family gather in NJ last weekend it was wonderful to see bikes from North Carolina, Michigan, New Jersey, Connecticut, Virginia and more rolling up the ribbon of highways ultimately landing in our beautiful Lake George.

For their part, the organizers and staff at Americade "Central" have been at work for the past year to ensure that once again this event happens and happens with the gusto and panache that has been its annual trademark. They should be applauded for their outstanding work.

This event is a wonderful one that allows our area to showcase itself to Americade registrants and onlookers. Many visitors during this week come back to spend their family vacation here with us at other times of the year. Its economic impact has been logged in at $46Million per year to the local economy. Certainly, without this infusion of commerce, our local taxpaying residents would feel the bite into their pocketbooks in the form of increased taxes. As it stands, thanks to Americade and its visitors....we can tolerate a little motorcycle hum and traffic...and say...hey thanks Americaders!! We love seeing you!!

Whose Life is it Anyway? This drama about a young teacher/sculptor who becomes paralyzed from the neck down as the result of an automobile accident, features Nicholas Baroudi whom many of you saw in A Few Good Men, A Walk in the Woods and Our Town. The dramatic conflict revolves around his desire to be discharged from the hospital so he can die on his own terms and the hospital’s refusal to allow that to happen. The “right to die” issue is explored with great thoroughness and yes, even humor.
