The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is now involved in this investigation, and a reward of $25,000 has been offered for information leading to his whereabouts.

On August 18, 2023, Troopers responded to the Villa Motel located on State Route 9 in the town of Ausable regarding a missing person report. Family members informed the State Police that Stephen J. Houghton, from Keeseville, NY, has not been heard from or seen since February 2022. The last known sighting of Houghton was at Stewart’s gas station in Port Henry, NY, on February 20, 2022. At the time he went missing, he was 35 years old. He is a white male, approximately 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing about 225 pounds, with black hair and blue eyes.

Multiple law enforcement agencies have been contacted regarding Houghton’s disappearance. Family and friends are cooperating with law enforcement to provide any information that may help locate him. The State Police continue their investigation, and with the involvement of the ATF, they hope to gather more information about Houghton’s whereabouts.

Downtown Ballston Spa will once again roar to life on Sunday, October 12, from 9 AM to 4 PM as the Ballston Spa Business & Professional Association (BSBPA) presents the 23rd Annual “The Way We Were” Car Show. This community favorite will transform the village into a showcase of classic cars, live entertainment, family fun, and local flavor.

Each year, the show draws well over 400 classic and custom vehicles from across the region, lining Front Street with gleaming chrome and timeless style. In addition to the stunning cars and trucks, the day will feature food and craft vendors, live music, kids’ activities, and a trophy ceremony celebrating standout vehicles.

The show’s name pays tribute to the film The Way We Were, starring Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford. Several scenes were filmed in downtown Ballston Spa in 1972, making the title a fitting nod to the village’s place in Hollywood history.

“We’re so proud to bring back this fall tradition for its 23rd year,” said Christine Kernochan, Chairperson of the Car Show Committee. “It’s more than just a car show—it’s a celebration of community spirit that draws visitors to Ballston Spa, supports our local businesses, and raises funds for the BSBPA’s year-round programs.”

Car owners may pre-register on the BSBPA’s website through October 3 for $20. Cars can also register the morning of the event for $25 cash. Spectator admission is free. The rain date is scheduled for Sunday, October 19.

The BSBPA thanks its Checkered Flag Sponsors for their generous support: Mangino Chevrolet Buick GMC, Michael’s Automotive, Ballston Spa National Bank, MJP Heating and Cooling, Morris Ford, Pompa Bros and Friend of the BSBPA.
