Benefit slated for Fire Chief Roger Smith

Some folks in the Lake Clear/Paul Smiths/Gabriels area have graciously organized a benefit for Roger Smith.

Roger is fire chief for the Paul Smiths-Gabriels Volunteer Fire Department. He's currently preparing to undergo treatment for brain cancer.

The benefit is scheduled to run from 3 to 7 p.m. Saturday, March 6 at Charlie's Inn in Lake Clear. There's no set cost, but organizers are suggesting a donation of $10. The menu includes BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, coleslaw and baked beans. The event also features live music and a Chinese auction.

Maybe I'm biased because I was born and raised here in the Adirondacks, but our communities are so supportive when these situations arise. This weekend, folks in Tupper Lake are hosting an all-day fundraiser for Bergan Flannigan, who was severely injured in an IED attack in Afghanistan. In February, four different benefits were held throughout the Tri-Lakes -- all on the same night. It seems everywhere you turn, people are helping people.

  1. The duty is placed on the ‘responsible person’, i.e. the landlord or in certain cases, the managing agent, who is required to carry out a fire risk assessment and take specific action to minimize the risk of fire in the common parts.

  2. Though the album is not a new one, it is very nice and also has lots of moral in it. Kids must really like it and enjoy it.
