STATE ST. Q GLOVERSVILLE, NY 12078 Q 518.725.8621 By RICHARD NILSEN The Leader-Herald Although Sherman’s Amusement Park is for sale and closed for the season, another historic destination for summer vacationers is still going strong at Pine Lake. Jeff Houck said his parents, Bill and Chardel Houck, first bought the campground part of the park property in 1971, then completed the purchase in 1990 by adding the pavilion area. The completed project includes the private beach, boating access, campgrounds, seasonal mobile home sites and the Adirondack Paradise pavilion. His dad is still a “silent partner” in the endeavor, and isn’t always silent about the park. “He still tells me when I’m doing something wrong,” Jeff Houck said with a laugh. Although no longer an amusement park with rides and concessions of 40 years ago, Houck said they have changed with the times and keep adding what works. With the closing of Sherman’s, Houck put on fireworks July 3 at Pine Lake. He also is hosting most of the lake association picnics in the area and plans two events in coordination with the town museum. They have already planned fireworks for next July and are looking at possible craft and company picnic venues in the future. “The big growth areas seem to be in catering wedding receptions, graduation and anniversary parties,” he said. “There’s also been a big surge in camping and mobile home seasonal sites.” Jeff Houck said the area offers a nearby “quiet getaway” destination for the capital district and Utica/Syracuse areas. On July 21, Houck had a group of students visiting him from Sauquoit Valley High School, about Lake Country 2009 • The Leader-Herald Pine Lake Park still going strong 3 The Leader-Herald/Bill Trojan Jeff Houck, left, owner of Pine Lake Park, gets a lei placed around his neck by greeter Nikole Hulten of Little Falls during a beach party in the Adirondack Paradise pavilion in July. 10 miles south of Utica, where he teaches math. They were visiting with students Sam, Ryan and Jim Drake, who have a camp on Piseco Lake. Sam Drake said they came to see what Houck was up to “on vacation.” Houck was having a busy vacation, with an “indoor beach party” on July 21 featuring the local bands Saving Atlantis, Dream Team Nation and Permagrin. Each Tuesday starting at 7 p.m., there is live music by area bands in the Adirondack Paradise pavilion at the park. These events are open to the public.

Scoliosis... Can it be prevented? Its consequences can be tragic. Even with conventional, medical intervention it can cause both physical pain and emotional suffering. If allowed to advance, it can interfere with the lungs, heart and many other vital organs. Severe cases can involve surgery that attaches steel rods to the spine to force the spine to straighten. There is hope. Chiropractic care has helped many people avoid the unfortunate effects of scoliosis. Early detection is critical. The chiropractic solution is simple. Treatment is aimed at correcting the root cause of each unique case. Leg length imbalances are measured and corrected. Chiropractic adjustments help improve the function, mobility and symmetry of the spine. Call 773-2000 today for a complimentary scoliosis screening and find out first hand the distinct advantage of chiropractic care.
