A $1,366 grant from the Lower Adirondack Arts' Council {LARAC), made possible with funding from the New York State Council on the Arts, is the reason this year's concert series will feature more - bands.

The village was notified they were awarded the grant last Decem- ber. , This year, there will also be kids: events and activities, suchas a clown making balloon animals, at some concerts ac- cordmg to Scott. Also, new to the concert series will be. concession stands manned by area mer- chants, Scott said. He said last year the wllage raised money 'to help pay for the. *~ concerts by sellnngconcessuons but wanted to get area mercharits in on the concerts this year. He said businesses will be able to rent an area from the village and sell their wares, and the money raised by renting spaces will go to help fund the concerts.

EVEIV.MNIGALe I a: osa oils crt ~ fatalities and 430 motor vehicle accidents which resulted in persona! injury in 2000: The same year, there were 1,358 vehicle re- lafid fatalities and 188,771 personal i injuries as a result of aitomobile accidents statewide. Unrestramed vehicle occupants - make up 30 percent of all ofthe deaths which occur on state highways each year, according to the ° New York State Ponce These statistics also _ indicate there are more passenger and dnver Heaths that can be attributed to being un- 'buekled than alcohol or speeding. State Po- lice statistics also show that most people ~ killed in automobile accidents because they did not use a seatbelt are 25 to 44 years-old. Coming in closely in second plac, are people sixteen to twenty four years-old. The State Police estimates seatbelts save 200 lives and prevent qver | 500 serious injuries each year. \It's been proven seatbelts _savelives,\ said Bassett. In addition to lives, police say seatbelts .. save money. New York State Police figures show that approximately $404 million each.. ___ year is saved by seatbelts,» and impatient dent victims who were not buckled up than the people who werewsing belfs.
