DON LEHMAN WARRENSBURG Po- lice ed the man who died in crash on Route 9 as a central New York man who was work- ing for a company that is cleaning up the railroad line in Warren County, and police believe he had lost his way when he drove the road into a rock wall. The driver of the truck, Joshua J. Cates-Bishop, 25, of Mallory, Oswego County, was pronounced dead after he drove a Ford F-550 pickup Route 9 near Tripp Lake Road around 5:20 a.m.

Friday. Cates-Bishop was an employee of Martisco En- terprises LLC, a central New York company that was working for Saratoga North Creek Railway to remove the equipment from the rail line. The truck was owned by Iowa Holdings LLC, which is the parent company. A passenger in the truck, Justin J. Ulven, 29, of Stony Creek, was seriously hurt and remained in Albany Medical Center on Mon- day in serious condition.

Warren County sheri Lt. Steve Stockdale said he had regained conscious- ness and was able to talk to investigators since the crash. He told police he was ly- ing down in the back seat of the truck because he did not feel well because of a medical condition, and he did not know what caused Cates-Bishop to lose control of the vehi- cle and careen into a rock outcropping the road. It was foggy, and he was not familiar with the road. Stockdale said the two had been out in the Lake George area earlier in the evening and were lost.

know where they were. They were trying to get back to Stony he said. Cates-Bishop had been drinking beer earlier in the evening, but Ulven told po- lice that his friend had anything to drink for hours and did not seem intoxicated, Stockdale said. Cates-Bishop died from a ruptured aorta. Toxicol- ogy tests will be performed as part of the autopsy.

Police said the two men were part of a crew that has been working to remove Iowa equipment from Warren rail line and the North Creek rail depot. The large, super-duty truck was loaded with equipment that included a hoist, air compressor and numerous tool boxes, Stockdale said. Stockdale said the data recorder was recovered and will be analyzed. The men had both been staying at Stony Creek Ranch Resort, where Ul- ven has worked as a cook and some railway employ- ees have stayed in recent months as well, said Scott McLean, whose family owns the ranch. Fatal Route 9 crash victim Driver, 25, was on crew cleaning up rail line in county MICHAEL GOOT LAKE GEORGE After more than a year of discus- sions about how to regulate Diamond Point Beach, the Town Board has adopted revised regulations that change very little.

The board last week voted to adopt the nal rules with one change to state that the hours of operation for the beach would be 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. An earlier draft listed 6 a.m. as the opening time. Dan Barusch, director of planning and zoning for the town, said the board had taken out from the nal ver- sion of the law a prohibition from using the beach from Dec.

1 to April 1. Essentially, the beach will be open year- round. is essentially a update that should not have any impact on the way the users of the facility can use it with the exception of the one hour in the morn- he said in an email. The town was prompted to take a look at the beach after Supervisor Dennis Dickinson received a com- plaint about people party- ing and playing loud music on the beach at night. He decided to lock the gate at 8 p.m.

Residents protested because they wanted to swim and walk on the beach during late-night and ear- ly-morning hours. The Town Board debated beach issues repeatedly, in- cluding how to assure that only town residents were using the beach. Now, the town uses a permit card sys- tem, but it has been di cult to enforce. Town cers had talked about putting in an electronic card-reader, but Dickinson dropped that idea because of the cost. Swimming will be al- lowed only when the life- guard is on duty between 9:30 a.m.

and 6:30 p.m. Domestic animals will not be allowed on the beach, with the exception of ser- vice animals. Launching boats and other vehicles from the beach remains prohibited. The town also added a provision to make it un- lawful for anyone other than town personnel to turn move or break the dock bubbler or tamper with any other equipment. In other business, the Town Board continued its discussion of a complaint it received at the August meeting about boaters con- gregating in Orcutt Bay and creating noise with loud partying.

The town is considering adopting rules to regulate the bay. However, Barusch said, residents of the town showed up at the meeting to say they have the right to use the lake and have been boating legally there.
