County sales tax receipts up for 2010

Gibson lists priorities Job creation #1 on list

By Alyssa Jung

Economy on rebound?

junga@spotlightnews.com GLENS FALLS — Congressman Chris Gibson has had more than one “night to remember” over the past year. Ousting Scott Murphy from his 20th Congressional seat on Election night was without a doubt, a special victory.

But perhaps the most memorable moment of his political journey, he said in a recent interview, was his Congressional swearing-in ceremony Jan. 5.

Gibson said he treasures the experience, particularly with his children present.

“Maggie and Connor were directly on the floor with me holding our family Bible when I was sworn in. That’s something I’ll remember all my days on Earth,” said Gibson, who’s oldest daughter Katie, 13, and wife were watching from afar.

“Looking into their eyes, I thought they understood and it was very special connecting to them in that moment.”

Gibson said the moment was so

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Warren County’s final sales tax receipts for 2010 were tabulated and publicized Jan. 14, prompting local officials to say they were cautiously optimistic about an economic rebound.

Warren County collected $42,872,812 in sales tax for 2010, a 1.94 percent increase over 2009.

The news is particularly good, considering county officials had recently predicted a $1 million shortfall from the $43 million in receipts they had budgeted. With this final payment from the state for 2010, that gap had narrowed to $127,188.

County officials said the figures demonstrated both a solid holiday retail season and other not-socheery news: gas prices 60 cents or so higher than the prior year.

“We’re pleased with this uptick for the fourth quarter,” Budget Officer Kevin Geraghty said.

STAYING INSIDE THE LINES: Bolton Elementary student Cayla Stone hones her coloring technique during an art session last week at her school. Students in the region got an unexpected four-day vacation this week as they were off for Martin Luther King Day, followed by an unexpected day off after several inches of snow blanketed the region.

WARRENSBURG — Spectators will likely be gazing at plumes of ice shards clouding the air behind speeding vintage snowmobiles as they race Saturday on Echo Lake.

As many as 500 or more snowmobile enthusiasts from northeastern U.S. states are expected to attend the annual event that not only draws racing fans, but those nostalgic about

snowsleds that hark back to the sport’s formative years.

This series of racing events, sanctioned by the Northern New York Vintage Snowsled Racing Association (NNYVSR), is the second in the group’s 2011 race circuit of 11 days of competition. The events will feature an estimated 150 vintage snowmobiles.

The races are headquartered at Echo Lake Lodge, located off Hudson St., which will have a variety of food and drinks available.

Writing as Meditation workshop set WARRENSBURG — Writing will combine with meditation at Willows Bistro Saturday, Jan. 22 in a workshop conducted by Brant Lake writer/artist Jessica Kane.

The goal of the workshop, set for 10 a.m. to noon, is to practice allowing the inner workings of experience to enter consciousness and then onto the pages without judgement, according to Kane. The goal is to be-

come fascinated with what emerges from within, she said. The workshop costs $10.

Kane is known for her offbeat, evocative writings. She recently released a CD collection of stories based on her life, “Straining to Parallel Park in an Empty Field.”

Kane’s off-kilter humor is threaded through her work: singing, narratives, poetry, and sculptures. Contact Kane via email at: jessica.laurel.kane@gmail.com.

Warrensburg welcomes new Stewart’s Site lawsuit still pending

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Hundreds of people celebrated the Grand Opening of Stewart’s new convenience store Saturday by either attending the ribbon cutting ceremony, by delving into an ice-cream contest, or by taking advantage of specially lowered prices during the day.

Located at the midtown intersection of Stewart Farrar Avenue and Main St., the new store offers easier access, 12 gas pumps, and a more spacious parking lot than the prior store downtown, which is now closed. The former store had a mere four pumps, and cars attempting to park often interfered with those getting gassed up in the cramped lot.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony Saturday attracted town officials, top Stewart’s executives including Bill and Susan Dake, and leaders of several community groups that received sizeable donations from Stewart’s Shops.

Susan Dake, president of the Stewart’s Foundation, presented checks of $1,000 to the Warrensburg Volunteer Fire Co., the

Warrensburg Scholarship Association and Richards Library.

The latter has been seeking money to resume its stalled project to finish its new wing. Officials of all the groups expressed appreciation for the donations.

The new Stewart’s opened Dec. 15, and immediately hosted a steady stream of customers, many of whom said they appreciated the new convenient access, which presented a problem at the former store several blocks south of Main St. Stewart's spokesman Tom Mailey said Saturday the store’s revenue reflected how well the store had been received by customers.

“We are very pleased with the sales,” he said. “It’s so much easier for people to park and shop now — it’s a win-win situation for everybody.”

Not everyone is thrilled,

however. Several dozen people had objected to the store being situated in a historic district, and across Stewart Farrar from the historic Presbyterian Church. Dozens of residents had argued that resulting traffic disruptions would threaten pedestrian traffic, particularly children walking to the elementary school nearby.

Members of the local Historical Society waged a lawsuit against both Stewart’s and the town of Warrensburg for the site selection and approval process, with they claimed was short-circuited.

The Article 78 suit was filed in state Supreme Court. Justice David Krogmann denied the citizens’ injunction request, who also rejected Stewart’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit. In the decision, Krogmann warned that any excavation or construction at the project site would be at Stewart’s peril if the company proceeded with the lawsuit’s outcome pending.

Saturday, Mailey declined to discuss in detail the pending lawsuit, which is still awaiting Krogmann’s decision.

“We believe the town did their job in the review process, and we felt secure enough to go forward,” he said.

WARRENSBURG • ADIRONDACK JOURNAL - 3

Warrensburg Central School students dance the night away thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — After the crowd gyrated to the last song early Sunday morning of the firstever Warrensburg Marathon Dance, local high school student Bryana Engle talked about the allnight event during which she lost her voice — singing, shouting and celebrating.

“Everyone was so enthusiastic, and the music was awesome,” she said in a croaky whisper.

Junior Camille DeLongis agreed.

“I had a blast,” she said, noting she had danced nearly all night, except for a couple of breaks when she laid down on the dance floor to combat exhaustion. “Everyone had a great time.”

Lilly Hough of Lake George High School also had danced frenetically for nearly the entire 12hour experience, and said enjoyed meeting her peers from a neighboring school.

“This was so much fun,” she said. “Particularly the dance-off and there were a lot of games.”

The Dance Marathon was held as a charity fundraiser, and it included dancing from 7 p.m.

Saturday through Sunday at 7 a.m. in the Warrensburg High School Gymnasium.

Open to parents and the public from 7 to 11 p.m., during which bids were placed in silent auctions for goods and services donated by area businesses.

While most of the students time was spent on the dance floor, resting areas and food were provided in the school through the night to restore the dancers’ energy.

WCS Junior Brandon Combs said the 12-hour event was more than just a joyful all-night social experience. Of all the students, he raised the most money of all for the five charities to benefit from the dance: the Ben Osborn Memorial Fund, Mitochondrial Hope & Help Fund, Cindy’s Comfort Camp, High Peaks Hospice, and the North Country Hardship Fund. Brandon Combs alone raised more than $900.

For weeks, Brandon had canvassed friends, relatives, businesses and members of the Warrensburg Fire Co. — he is a junior member — for support of the dance’s charities. Since November, he carried a sign-up sheet with him nearly everywhere.

“I get teary-eyed when I hear the problems other people have to deal with,” Brandon said. “Raising money for people in need is something I love to do.”

At the end of the dance, WCS principal Doug Duell announced the top fundraisers, prompting cheers.

Bryana Engle, Zack Belden, and Camille DeLongis joined Brandon in being honored for fundraising. Student Kyle Gregson was named as the event’s most enthusiastic dancer.

Duell said the Warrensburg and Thurman communities rallied, as they always do, to support the charitable effort.

“This was an awesome event for our community,” he said, noting the dance raised $7,420, plus more sure to be collected. “The outpouring of support was phenomenal.”

He noted that Johnsburg’s Chip Aldrich of AfterFX Deejay Service played all night long at no charge — after a Vermont Radio station backed out unexpectedly just days before the event.

“Aldrich kept things rolling,” Duell said, noting the deejay staged games — and played popular songs that the students knew well and thoroughly enjoyed.

Aldrich had held an “air-band” competition with inflated mock instruments he brought. He also presided over a contest, in which students, hands joined in an unbroken circle, kept a hula hoop twirling while passing it around for students to duck through. Another popular game, dreamed up by the organizing committee, featured students in a timed race wrapping up classmates mummy-style in toilet paper.

Former WCS employee Karen Bailey, a cancer survivor and one of the recipients of the South Glens Falls marathon dance fundraisers, gave a kick-off speech Saturday. She said she was proud of every one of the students, and that the fundraising really benefits people. She urged that the students not only work on the event during their school career, but return as alumni to help mentor the growth of the event, sponsored by the school’s PRIDE group and the junior class.

Tammy Bukovinsky, wife of motorcycle crash victim Wayne Bukovinsky of the North Country Hardship Fund, also spoke to the dancers how their efforts will help others.

Local students gyrate to the music played by Deejay Chip Aldrich at the Warrensburg Marathon Dance held all night long Saturday Jan. 15. The event raised more than $7,400 for several charities.

WCS Junior Class advisor Debbie Hensler noted that thanks were due to Health Teacher Darlene Gordon, parents Marlene DeLongis, Lori Combs, Donna Engle, and many teachers and staff members who volunteered to conduct the event, including John Friauf, Io Bruce, Elaine

Cowin, Isobell Munoff, Suzanne Glebus Mike Curtis, Christine Blakely. Other staffers just turned up Sunday to help out, she said.

“The snowy weather kept our numbers down, but this first event was exciting, and it makes us all want to raise the bar for next year,” she said.

OnCampus Students honored for collegiate achievement The following students were honored at their respective schools for academic accomplishments: Named to the Dean’s List at SUNY Plattsburgh for the fall semester were: Daniel Sheridan and Ryan Volkmann of Bolton Landing; Alica Dooris of Brant Lake; Andre Wade of Chestertown; Domenick Pfau and Kristen Rafferty of Diamond Point; Juli Burnett, Noah Davis, Brandon Haller, Deidre Johnson, Christina Koenig, and Margaret Miele — all of Lake George; Carrie Vanderwarker of Pottersville; and Todd Lawson of Warrensburg.

Named to the Dean’s List at SUNY Oswego was Stephanie A. Sweeney of Chestertown; Davida M. Paniccia of Diamond Point; and Chelsea Williams of Stony Creek.

Earning similar honors at Clarkson University was Brett D. Walker of Chestertown; and at SUNY Canton, Kelsey B. Hamblin of Chestertown.

At Keene State College, Taylor Ruth Cronquist of Bolton Landing and Taylor Jean Galusha of Warrensburg were named to the Dean’s List for the fall semester.

Alana Kilcullen of Brant Lake has been awarded the Valedictorian Scholarship at Elmira College.

It’s budget time at Warrensburg Central

www.adirondack-journal.com

SATURDAY January 22, 2011

the Citizens’ Budget Advisory Committee are now working together to formulate a spending plan for the 2011-12 school year. Board members on the budget committee are Dean Moore, Richlene Morey, Laura Danna and James Carrion.

The Advisory Committee members for 2011 are: Elaine Cowin, Sheila Mender, Alan Smith and Michael Curry. Anyone else seeking to serve on the committee is urged to contact Cindy Turcotte at 623-2861, extension 206. The next school district budget meeting is set for 6 p.m. Jan 31.

On Jan. 10, the school board is considering whether to put up another bus lease proposition before the voters this year.

Last year, school district residents voted to approve leasing three buses rather than purchasing new ones.

Citizens WCS budget group meets at town hall The Warrensburg Central School Citizens Advisory Committee will holding its first-ever meeting outside the school to prompt public involvement in planning the school’s finances for the 2011-12 school year. The meeting is set for 7 p.m. Jan. 26 at the Warrensburg Town Hall. All are invited.

Committee members said they welcome input and direction on the budget before it goes to public vote this Spring.

The focus of this Jan. 26 meeting will be the expenses related to school buildings and grounds.

Also noted at the Jan. 10 board meeting were the pending retirements, effective this June 30, of WCS faculty members Barbara Grant, Glenda Howland and Elaine Cowin.

Town Board sets penalties, okays contract On Jan. 12, the Warrensburg Town Board adopted a resolution to impose a penalty of 10 percent on sewer bills paid after the 15th of the month when they are due. Sewer bills are due in February May and August. A water bill penalty was adopted as well — one that will impose a 10 percent late fee on water bill payments that are tardy. The water bills are sent out in each fall and are due by Oct. 1.

The board approved contracting with the Warrensburg Emergency Medical Services for $30,000 to provide services for town residents. It was noted that this sum covers the cost of one on-call Advanced Life Support technician.

Warrensburg EMS is also now providing Advanced Life Support services in the Town of Thurman, which generates about 64 calls a year. Warrensburg has several ambulances and a staff that is on call 24 hours a day.

DVDs sought for troops overseas

Councilman John Alexander has asked that snowmobilers stay out of the town’s cemeteries, due not only the damage that can occur to the memorials, but the additional risks that sledders are likely to incur.

Lake George resident Hildy Monroe is now seeking DVDs of movies to send to troops stationed in the Middle East, particularly in combat areas of Afghanistan.

Her son, Jeremy Monroe, 23, is stationed there with a Marine Corps contingent. Monroe said Jeremy will distribute the movies to his fellow soldiers for their off-duty entertainment. Hildy said she’s willing to pick up DVDs from donors, and she welcomes anyone to call her at 668-5518.

Warrensburg Elementary School Principal Amy Langworthy will be taking maternity leave from Feb. 29 to May 31, and in her absence, a teacher will be fulfilling her duties temporarily. The WCS school board voted Jan. 10 to place WCS fourth grade teacher Keith LaLone in the interim position. LaLone is studying to be certified as a school administrator and the temporary post will serve as an internship toward that goal.

•50 Years Ago – January 1961• Racing returns to area Harness racing on ice, which flourished in this area some 50 years ago at the turn of the century, will be revived on Jan. 15, 1961 on a track that has been laid out on the Hudson River at the Thousand Acres Ranch. The track is 1/4mile long and follows the Warrensburg-Stony Creek Road.

No admission fee will be charged.

Fire races through lumber mill Fire caused considerable damage to a filing building and also to a chipping plant and saw mill at the R.J. Sweet Lumber mill in North Warrensburg. The blaze was discovered by night watchman Dallas Vaughn.

When firemen, under the direction of Chief C. Walton Stone arrived, the chipping plant was a mass of flames. Firemen were hampered by sub-zero weather which froze their hoses. Water to fight the blaze was brought in by a pump truck and was also obtained from the Millington Brook, about one-half mile from the fire scene.

Supervisors re-elect Lee Orton The Warren County Board of Supervisors re-elected Warrensburg Supervisor Lee R. Orton as chairman. This will be his fourth term.

Warrensburg Justice of the Peace Loran Hoffman was elected president of the Warren County Magistrates Association. Justice of the Peace Fred J. DeVries was named vicepresident. Earl Steves of Chestertown was re-elected secretary-treasurer.

Maurice Ashe was elected president of the Richards Library. Delbert H. Pasco was elected church warden at the Church of the Holy Cross. Lee R. Orton, Nelson Meader and Edward M.P. Magee are vestrymen. (Note … Mr. Magee, who played the organ brilliantly at the Church of the Holy Cross was the husband of Grace (Merrill Lown) Magee, for whom Grace’s Restaurant is today named.)

Town Board proposes new landfill There has been a proposal of the Warrensburg Town Board to relocate the town dump on a tract of land northeast of the village on the old Abeel place consisting of 58 acres on the west side of US 9 on what is known as Langworthy Hill.

Mark Bruce, the present owner of the property, has given the town a 60-day option at $4,500 and the Town Board has the intention to and purchase the property. Supervisor Orton said that he anticipates no opposition to the proposed site. There has been a big problem with rats at the dump and it is hoped that this problem can be solved in the near future.

Icy road causes man’s death William Masterson, 47, of Bolton Landing, was killed instantly just before midnight, Dec. 30, 1960, when the car with which he was towing his son’s vehicle whirled out of control on slippery Route 9 near the Spinning Wheel Laundromat and hit a utility pole. He was pronounced dead at Glens Falls Hospital. Undersheriff Lilly investigated the accident.

Donations flood in to homeless family Contributions of clothing and furniture are being made to the Gilbert Wood family of Thurman who were made homeless by an early morning fire on Dec. 28, 1960.

There are five children in the family, which has taken up occupancy at the former South Johnsburg School house. Sixyear-old Gilbert Wood Jr. is unable to attend school because of frostbite of the feet suffered at the time of the fire.

Magazine editor achieves fame

Area deaths in the news

Otto O. Binder, well known as the brother of Warrensburg artist Jack Binder, is the subject of a full-page ad in the recent issue of the New York Journal American magazine. He is known as a space and rocket authority and edits the Space World Magazine. In 1941, he and his brother Jack produced illustrated science fiction, a brilliant forecasting of what eventually came to pass.

Mae Branch Borah, 86, died Dec. 22, 1960 in Rutland, Vt. after a brief illness. She was born in Warrensburg Feb. 9, 1874, the daughter of Edward and Rozina Branch. She leaves one son, four daughters, 16 grandchildren and 29 greatgrandchildren to mourn her loss.

Jennie Martindale, 87, widow of Samuel Martindale, died Jan. 5, 1961 at her home on Hackensack Avenue, Warrensburg. Burial was in the local cemetery. (Note … It was Sam Martindale’s dead body in a casket that was hurriedly carried out of the Orton and McCloskey funeral parlor in 1950 when the Music Hall was burning.)

Rolland T. Woodward, 87, died Monday, Jan. 9, 1961 in Schenectady. A native and long-time resident of Warrensburg, he was the uncle of Kathryn Maltbie.

Austin A. Smith, 82, a veteran of the Spanish American War, died Jan. 19, 1961 in Albany Hospital. He was a lifelong resident of Brant Lake. Surviving are two sons, Austin and Donald Smith, two daughters and nine grandchildren.

Burial was in the Brant Lake Cemetery.

Sudden death of shirt factory worker Miss Murilla H. Taylor, 69, a former resident of Warrensburg, died Jan. 4, 1961 after being stricken with a heart attack in Glens Falls. She had made her home with a cousin, Mrs. Leonard (Marjorie) Howe on Lower Dix Avenue, Hudson Falls. She was the niece of Harling Harrington of Warrensburg. Burial was in the Warrensburg Cemetery. (Note …

Murilla Taylor and my mother-in-law, Ida Robinson Hadden, worked together for many years in the heydays of the Warrensburg Shirt Factory.)

Reading the newspaper ads John Magee of Chestertown has a clean 1961 Land Rover for sale. Merv Hadden has a 1958 Edsel Corsair hardtop at his car lot in North Warrensburg, clean and good, for $950.

Carl Para of Athol wants to sell a small cabin which can be moved to the buyer ’s location. Mark Bruce has for sale a 5-room camp just north of Warrensburg with 30 acres of excellent land for $3,000.

Ed Kreinheder of Stony Creek wants to buy old books and antiques. Art Brown’s Shoe Store, 148 Main St., has a big sale on woman’s and children’s boots.

An All-you-can-eat complete fried fish dinner with all the fixings is available at Howard Johnson’s restaurant, Lake George: Adults, $1; Children, 65 cents.

Half hogs are on sale at the Grand Union market in Warrensburg for 39 cents a pound. They average 80 pounds and custom wrapping is done free.

News roundabout A foot or more of snow fell on Warrensburg on New Year ’s Day, 1961. Lawrence Kenyon was driving his car in Thurman on the road between High Street, Athol and Stony Creek, and a fire of undetermined origin destroyed the interior of his 1952 Buick when a blaze broke out in the back seat.

FN Donald Putney of the U.S. Navy stationed at Norfolk, Virginia, enjoyed a Christmas weekend in Warrensburg with his grandmother, Mrs. Alice Heath, 235 Main St. Kenneth and Florence Carrington of Warrensburg are the parents of a son, Jamie Albert Carrington, born Dec. 28, 1960 in Glens Falls. Mr. and Mrs. Owen Sherman of Warrensburg are the parents of a son, David Owen Sherman, born Jan. 5, 1961 in Glens Falls. Mrs. Sherman is the former Miss Fay Davis, daughter of Arnold and Myrtle Davis.

Papers backing community priorities

I

just have to say thank you for the overwhelming and encouraging responses I and the staff have received from last week’s column, regarding our plans to bolster the news content of the papers. Many people seemed surprised that we employed the number of full-time news reporters we do and that they possessed such vast experience in their field.

Perhaps it’s just human nature but all too often we underestimate what the employees of local companies are capable of producing. And while the grass tends to look greener elsewhere, I was reminded many times over this past week by many individuals that modern technology has seduced us into looking past the local connections in our back yards. Buying local means supporting your friends, family and fellow local taxpayers. The burden we all share supporting our local schools and governments will only come from those paying taxes locally ... but that’s a subject for a future article.

The other big revelation that seemed to come from last week’s column was the extended reach of our community papers. With a total audited distribution of 72,051 in the six North Country publications, we direct mail 54,732 papers into the immediate service area of the papers. Another 14,405 are picked up at stores and newsstands across Clinton, Essex, Warren and Franklin counties and we have 2,914 individuals who subscribe to the paper either in print or online.

Since our papers “zero in” on the local communities they serve, it came as a surprise to folks that our total coverage was as widespread. In the past we hadn’t shared much news between our own papers, which perpetuated the impression that we had a modest reach. But the feedback we are receiving tells us that you need the news from the entire region as much as you need the hyper-local news and that our planned intentions are to

provide exactly what you want to see from us.

Another concern expressed in several emails and conversations related to worry for the other media outlets in the area.

First, we would never suggest that we be your only source of community news. It’s important that you maintain several sources to keep you abreast of current events and ensure each outlet fairly represents the coverage they provide. We want our publications to be on your “must-read” list and we will strive to cover far more than in the past, but by ourselves, we can't cover everything. We also believe that competition between the media outlets is good for everyone, especially you, the end user.

And finally, we want to use the papers not only to provide you with the important facts and information you need about your area and people who live in it, but we want the papers to have a stronger voice in community affairs.

One such issue came into greater focus last week with a guest viewpoint submitted to several of our newspapers by Mark Moeller (See below), regarding the Adirondack Club & Resort project proposed for Tupper Lake.

Here is a community fighting for its very survival, their fragile economy in need of an economic upturn — and the proposed resort project would not only be a big boost for Tupper Lake, but the entire region. We will be taking strong positions on issues like this that affect our lives here in the region with the hope of heightening your awareness and encouraging your participation when touched by the details. Taking sides can be controversial, but our goal will be to stimulate thought, provoke action, and in the end serve as a vehicle for growth that benefits those who make this area home.

GUESTVIEWPOINT We can do the math

W

e consider ourselves as pragmatic conservationists. We believe that a community can harvest some forest or animal products from our natural environment on a regular basis without compromising the long-term health of the ecosystem. We believe that nature and man can coexist and that both can even thrive. We believe that this is the model for the Adirondack Park, and we are not alone. Search, for example, wikipedia.org and adirondackalmanac.com We want to conserve the Adirondacks for everyone to enjoy now and into the distant future. But make no mistake — we are different from socalled environmentalists and their

groups that operate within (many without actually “living” within) the Blue Line.

Simply put, environmentalists are conservationists who can’t do, or probably more likely choose to hide or distort, the math.

Allow us to provide the following examples.

Environmentalists contend that development in the Park will “fracture the back country.” Apparently they can't count into the hundreds — which is the number of logging roads already cut into our forests. These roads have been there for decades and have historically been used to responsibly harvest while at the same time serving as the backbone of the local economy.

Environmentalists claim that the Adirondack Club and Resort is just “too big.” The Adirondack Park is 6,000,000 acres in size. The Adirondack Club and Resort will encompass 6,300 acres. So the ACR will be .00105 the size of the Adirondack Park. Furthermore, the ACR will disturb only 4 percent of the available land it will own. Four percent. For the math challenged, that means that 96 percent of the ACR’s land will be left undisturbed. Four percent of .00105 equals .000042. That’s how much of the Adirondack Park will be disturbed by the ACR. That’s what the Adirondack Council called “overblown.” To further put it into perspective, if the entire Adirondack Park consisted of one acre, which has 43,560 sq. feet, then this “overblown” project consists of 1.8 sq. feet. The entire skiable area of

Administrator heads up anti-bullying effort

By Patrick Freebern denpubs@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — In July, the Lake George School District welcomed Cody Conley into the position of Vice Principal for the Junior/Senior High School, a position that primarily oversees student conduct.

Originally from Los Angeles, Conley has lived in the Saratoga area for 16 years.

He worked with the Glens Falls school district, teaching a variety of

middle-school grades. While there, he worked as director of a grant program geared toward “at-risk” students — students who might be in academic danger or social dysfunction. He later worked as a conduct coordinator for grades 9 through 12 before assuming his current position at Lake George.

His position also involves helping strategize professional development for teachers and developing educational plans for students with diverse ways of assimilating knowledge.

“I think Lake George is a great place,” Conley said. “Currently we're

Featured work by Kirsten Ullrich

Ullrich’s works slated for Courthouse Gallery LAKE GEORGE — A solo exhibition by Kirsten Ullrich will open Saturday, Jan. 29 at The Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery. The exhibit will run through March 4.

An artist’s reception for Ullrich is set for 4 to 6 p.m. Jan. 29.

Ullrich’s work as painter, sculptor and animator stems from free associations that transform images into peculiar personal meaning, reviewers have said.

She plays with illusion and abstraction to create distortions that are at once comic and exuberant, and brutal and unsettling, according to an LGAP source. The result is an ambiguous mix of cartoon fun ride and psychic tension.

My process often begins with drawing because of its immediacy — this allows me to act on mischievous impulses that emerge — and the result is an idiosyncratic stew of lighthearted and sinister elements,” she said.

Ullrich lives in Brattleboro, Vt. but is completing a residency fellowship at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Mass. For details on the exhibit, visit www.kirstenullrich.com or www.lakegeorgearts.org or call 668-2616.

working on an anti-bullying policy, which also includes curbing cyber-bullying.”

Conley said that a committee of about 20 students and staff members have joined together and are currently studying an anti-bullying policy, which is expected to be in place late this year or early 2012.

He said he hopes that this will help the school retain a socially tolerable atmosphere for all students.

“Making sure students feel safe when they come to school is our main priority,” he said.

Cabin Fever Sundays are offered at no charge to museum members or children of elementary school age and younger.

The fee for non-members is $5. Refreshments will be served.

LAKE GEORGE — Innovative, experimental video shorts by amateurs and artists alike will be celebrated as the Lake George Arts Project holds its second annual People’s Pixel Project gala Saturday, Jan. 22.

Entries include videos captured on cell phones, digital cameras, and video equipment. Amateurs including teens and even young children were invited to enter.

This video festival, complete with Grammy-style awards, is set for the Charles R. Wood Theater in Glens Falls. The screenings of the top video art entered will likely feature dozens of video shorts, 3 to 5 minutes in length.

Purchase tickets, $10, by calling Lake George Arts Project at 668-2616, or Rock Hill Bake House at 615-0777.

Throughout February, entries will be on view at Aimee’s Dinner Theater in Glens Falls, and during gallery hours at Lake George Arts Project.

LAKE GEORGE — The Warren County Sheriff ’s Office will be conducting an “Operation Safe Child” fingerprinting event at the Warren County Sheriff ’s Office Training Center Sunday, Jan. 23, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Possessing up-to-date photographs and detailed information about a child are important proactive measures that greatly assist law enforcement to quickly respond to a child’s disappearance, a sheriff ’s office representative said.

The program will provide cards that contain a child’s name, biographical information and a fingerprint image of both index fingers. The card is made in less than two minutes and can be easily carried in a wallet or pocketbook.

Adirondack food fest set for Copperfield Inn NORTH CREEK — Adirondack food as it’s traditionally prepared will be the subject of a program at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 23 at the Copperfield Inn. Titled “Let's Eat! Adirondack Food Traditions and Inspirations,” the presentation is part of the Cabin Fever Sunday series offered by the Adirondack Museum. The event will feature museum curator Hallie Bond and Copperfield Chef Stephen Topper.

Bond will explore the history of food and eating in the Adirondacks from farms to hunting camps to lumber camps to Great Camps. Chef Topper will take culinary inspiration from place and past to create local Adirondack dishes.

Snowshoe tours of Stone Bridge & Caves set POTTERSVILLE — Miles of snowshoe trails are now open for expeditions at Natural Stone Bridge and Caves in Pottersville. Rentals of snowshoes are also available. Self-guided tours are held Thursday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and guided tours available weekend days at 6 p.m. Call 4942283 or visit www.stonebridgeandcaves.com for details.

Learn to dance in North Creek NORTH CREEK — All area residents are invited to learn to dance at Johnsburg Central School with Paul Lo Guercio.

He will offer a six-week class for adults to learn social dancing including the fox trot, waltz, swing, rhumba, tango, salsa, cha-cha, and merengue. Classes will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesdays starting Jan. 25 in the school Cafetorium. Students in grades 9 through 12 are invited to attend for free. The cost for adults is $30 per couple. All proceeds will support Johnsburg Youth Committee.

Chestertown Rotarians recognize Will Jay CHESTERTOWN — Will Jay, a Senior at North Warren Central School, has been named Student of the Month by the Chestertown Rotary Club.

The son of Christine and Edward Jay of Brant Lake, Will is considered by teachers and peers to excel in the areas of academics, athletics, musical pursuits, character and community involvement — according to school counselor Michael Therio and local Rotarian David Schlansker.

Will is member of both the National Honor Society and the school’s Varsity Club, having played an integral role in the school’s soccer, baseball and bowling teams throughout his high school years.

Will’s talents have been showcased in performances involving school plays, the orchestral and jazz bands, and Senior Chorus, Therio said. During his high school years, Will participated in the prestigious Crane Honor Choir as well as in regional music competitions.

Will Jay’s trustworthy nature, Therio said, earned him a summer internship with the Warren County District Attorney, and being elected vice

Will was also chosen as an 11th grader for the Rotary Youth Leadership program, representing North Warren.

Also, Will was chosen for American Legion’s Boy’s State leadership program held in summer 2010.

As a senior, Will has been participating in the highly selective, rigorous New Visions health/medicine career program. Will is one of 10 students in the region chosen to participate in New Visions, and the first from North Warren. Last year, Will also participated in Career Experience Day where he spent time at the

Glens Falls Hospital.

Will plans to pursue a Navy ROTC scholarship with the Navy nursing corps. In addition, Will is taking the college-level Model Organization of American States course at North Warren, and was selected as chief delegate from North Warren to the upcoming MOAS convention, Therio said.

“Will’s involvement and participation in virtually every opportunity available has been reflected with a dedication to excellence and achievement that are noteworthy among his peers,” he said.

Receipts for the last three months of fiscal 2010 were up 5.4 percent over the same period in 2009, he said.

County Board of Supervisors Chairman Dan Stec also welcomed the news of the increase in revenue, although he too cautioned that much of it was due to soaring gasoline prices.

Geraghty said that the 2010 receipts bode well for the 2011 budget, as he and other county officials had counted on $42 million for this year.

Any surplus, he said, would likely go into rebuilding the county’s depleted financial reserves.

“We’re cautiously optimistic we’ll reach or surpass our $42 million goal,” he said.

During his second day as U.S. Congressman, Gibson revealed a few of his priorities.

“My number-one priority is job creation and there’s a number of things that have to be done immediately to help on that score to grow the economy. Congress can’t pass a law that creates jobs, but it can create laws that change the business environment — right now it’s hostile and uncertain to growth,” said Gibson.

Echo Lake From page 1 drew a substantial number of racers, NNYVSR Track Director Mike Ross of Old Forge said.

“Now we’re looking forward to a lot of racers Saturday on Echo Lake,” he said. “We’ve got a good-size track that’s wide for safe, fast racing, and with the lodge right there with good views — it’s very accommodating.”

The Warrensburg Wrestling Club sponsors the races. The young members of the club work at the event, and proceeds from the modest $5 entry fee go primarily towards supporting the group’s activities and charities.

Ross said his group appreciated the young wrestlers’ work setting up the track, helping direct traffic and attending to other vital details.

“Whoever organizes the Warrensburg race does a great job with a lot of volunteers,” Ross said.

Lenny Baker, local wrestling coach, is one of them.

He said Sunday that the club’s money is spent not only on sending young wrestlers to tournaments — whether wrestlers are 4 years old or 18 — but also in purchasing wrestling shoes and uniforms for youngsters whose families are on a limited budget.

The Club has bought $15,300 in wrestling mats and other related equipment in 2009 for Warrensburg School District, he said, which has reduced expenses that would otherwise be borne by taxpayers. Also, the group donates a portion of their treasury to various local charities.

The Vintage Snowsled races are the wrestling club’s premier fundraiser, coach Scott McKenna said.

“For this event, the Lodge porch is always full of spectators, and they have a really good time,” he said. “There’s a lot of excitement.”

Taxes, excessive regulations and health care costs are the main obstacles Gibson said, adding that his constituents can expect him to seek solutions to those issues.

He said he’s already co-sponsored several bills to boost the nation’s business environment.

One of those bills would repeal the 1099 requirement included in last year ’s health care bill that requires small businesses to submit a 1099 form for vendors that are paid $600 or more.

Another measure Gibson is supporting, the ‘Rein In Act’ bill, requires that any proposed federal regulation or policy that has an impact of $100 million or greater annual impact on the economy, would have to be endorsed beforehand by the U.S. Con-

gress for a vote.

Also high on his agenda is his plan to repeal and replace the health care bill, consistent with pledges he made throughout his campaign.

Instead, legislators should pursue a bill on insurance and tort reform, he said.

Gibson added he’d also support a bill that would allow gun owners to move their weapon across state lines, something he said he thinks is important for personal freedom.

He will be serving on agriculture and armed forces committees. One of his primary goals, he said, would be to bring a conclusion to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, an effort he said the country is on track to complete.

12 - ADIRONDACK JOURNAL • OPINION

Continued from page 6 Whiteface Mountain is 336 acres (www.whiteface.com). The entire ACR project will only disturb approx. 252 acres.

You be the judge, but facts are facts. Perhaps regulating the private business sector is more important than self-regulation.

The Adirondack Club and Resort will create hundreds of full- and part-time jobs when it is up and running and hundreds more jobs in the construction trades through years of construction. That could mean approximately 500 more private jobs than we have here in Tupper Lake today.

Those jobs will be created on a piece of property which to date only generates $76,000 in gross property taxes. At build out, the project will generate $6.4 million to our school and $2.25 to the Town of Tupper Lake.

So let’s review. Four percent of .00105 will produce 500 jobs and an increase of 109.5 times ($8.65M/$76,000) the amount of tax revenue. Now that’s what we call higher math!

Environmentalists do like math when it comes to dollars. This is where they think big and outside the box. Environmentalists think that $30,000,000 is an appropriate price for the over burdened taxpayers of New York State to spend on an EASEMENT, not a sale, but for just a promise to use the forest when we are already surrounded by wild forests! $30M for an easement! Do you know how many North

Country salaries that would support? Given all the problems that we face, why would a cash strapped state spend $30 million on an easement? Apparently politicians are math challenged, too.

And just how many non-Nature Conservancy jobs were created by that last minute, year-end shady deal? Zero. Any unemployed Adirondack resident understands that math. Let’s do some high finance now. If the State of NY was expecting a modest 4 percent return of investment, $30 million should generate $1,200,000 in additional input into the economies of Long Lake, Newcomb and Indian Lake. Let's wait and see — or perhaps we should think about better ways to stimulate the economy and save North Country jobs.

Stated simply — entrepreneurs and private employment create the most valuable jobs in our society. While government jobs are important, as far as payback to society is concerned, and to retain a sustainable, self-sufficient community, they just don’t compare to the private sector. When a private sector job is created, society makes money. When a public sector job is created, it costs society money.

We have a suggestion. At the end of the Pataki Administration, $5M that was promised to the Tupper Lake area to repair our rail lines simply vanished. Given that precedence, we suggest that the State of New York rescind the $30M designated for “renting” more land in the Adirondacks and then restore the $5M owed Tupper

DEC seeks outdoor stories RAY BROOK — The state Department of Environmental Conservation wants people to share inspirational stories of their experiences in the great outdoors.

It’s a way for the department to encourage people to get out and take advantages of New York’s trails, parks and forests. Each month, several stories will be posted on the department’s Web site.

A prize will be awarded for the top story each month, and some writers might find their stories included in the Conservationist, a bimonthly magazine.

While the story subject must be about an experience had in New York, writers can be from anywhere.

Entries are limited to 650 words and must be received by Feb. 28. Stories can be submitted online or by mail to Carole Fraser, NYS DEC Universal Access Program, 625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12233.

Think about those facts the next time you open up your checkbook to do some math of your own. Keep these facts in mind the next time you hear an environmentalist lament that the ACR project is just too big.

Think about the true intentions of the environmental groups here to “help us” and in turn, help them do some math that truly helps the North Country.

Lake and then use the remaining $25M to rehabilitate our infrastructure and keep Sunmount, local schools and prisons properly staffed. Those take priority over the self serving desires of environmental groups.

To account for the increased tourism that the Nature Conservancy promised by the $30M easement, we also suggest that they open up the 14,600 acres of the Follensby pond and forest to the public and create an access point directly to the Tupper Lake community. That piece of wilderness partially resides within the Town of Tupper Lake, is adjacent to the High Peaks Wilderness Area, Saranac Lakes, the Raquette River and is within a stones’ throw of the Natural History Museum of the Adirondack, aka the Wild Center. If we add in a totally renovated Big Tupper ski slope as part of the ACR and the proposed Adirondack Public Observatory — talk about a boost to tourism! Tupper Lake would become a Mecca to outdoor enthusiasts.

We know that the Nature Conservancy bought this piece of property in order to “flip it” to New York State. Ca-ching! Why not open it to the public now? Here is a quote from the Nature Conservancy’s Web site (www.nature.org/wherewework/ northamerica/states/newyork/preserves/art25874.html). “We look forward to the day when college professors can hold sessions in an outdoor classroom so rich in meaning and history, and families can enjoy these hallowed grounds.

Ambulance response concerns ignite controversy in Thurman

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com THURMAN — As of Jan. 1, the local ambulance squad has stopped responding to emergency calls after their contract wasn’t renewed by the town board, and the agency’s Warrensburg counterparts have taken over their emergency calls. This situation has ignited controversy over whether a local squad should be providing the service.

Some Thurman residents have been expressing concern that the local Thurman Emergency Medical Services agency could offer faster vital services than ambulances stationed in Warrensburg, about six miles away from Athol, Thurman’s largest hamlet.

They also have said that the town should be supporting its own squad, rather than contracting with an agency based out-oftown. But Thurman’s leaders have said they haven’t contracted with the Thurman squad

because it lost its Advanced Life Support Certification last year, and that taxpayers were unwilling to bankroll paid staffing, which is a necessity for ALS certification in the face of declining availability of qualified, trained volunteers.

The Thurman squad has not responded to alerts since Jan. 1, after they were notified by the state their Workmen’s Compensation Insurance had expired.

Thurman squad President Jim Desourdy said Sunday that squad officials decided their members shouldn’t be responding if they didn’t have such coverage, which was traditionally paid for by the town.

Town Supervisor Evelyn Wood said that the town board had decided not to pay for the Workmen’s Compensation for the squad, on the advice of the town attorney, because the town didn’t have a service contract with the group.

Desourdy said that the Warrensburg

Emergency Medical Services ambulances weren’t able to reach the far reaches of Thurman as fast as his hometown squad could, and delays of 15 or 20 minutes could mean the potential loss of life in heart attacks and other ailments. Proponents of utilizing the Warrensburg squad, however, have argued that the agency has for decades responded without consequential delay, and they already maintain paid staffing fully trained and certified for ALS. Wood said Sunday that Thurman townspeople have spoken out against bankrolling local paid staffing, and she and he board have been wary of the Thurman squad’s shifting proposals and funding requests.

Desourdy countered the offers were merely modified to meet the public’s and board’s changing expectations.

However, on Sunday a potential solution gained traction.

Both Wood and Desourdy said they’d be

All ages are needed to help make hearts for our vets. This craft project, which communicates support for those who served our nation, is sponsored by the Thurman Youth Commission.

I’m still fielding phone calls from folks worrying about the town government not signing contract with our local emergency squad. As you know, people are very upset, so I will not repeat all of their opinions again. However, I do believe that the squad could be sanctioned and paid by the town to provide basic emergency medical services. For patients with urgent critical needs, our squad members could give them immediate assistance and meet up with Advanced Life Support technicians from Warrensburg en route to the hospital. Thurman squad officials, by the way, thank all their supporters for their recent help.

interested in an arrangement proposed by some town residents — that the Thurman squad members could handle initial emergency response, pick up and stabilize patients with basic life support treatment, carry them into Warrensburg, where they’d pick up a certified ALS technician, if needed, on the way to Glens Falls Hospital.

Such a response arrangement, Desourdy said, would keep costs low while providing the fastest response times, which are critical in many urgent medical situations.

Both Desourdy and Wood said Sunday they’d like to resolve the outstanding funding and certification issues, and resume the local emergency response service.

The two said they’d like to meet to solve the obstacles to signing a contract. Wood said she and the board would likely be agreeable to a deal if the Thurman squad could provide service at a reasonable rate with reliability.

WARRENSBURG — The Burghers were experiencing the sweet taste of dominance at halftime on their home court Jan. 14 in a boys basketball game as they led League standout Fort Ann by a score of 38 to 23, but the savory taste turned sour as Cardinals put up a furious rally to regain control and carve out a victory.

Robert Sprague scored 18 of his game-high 27 points in the second half, as the Cardinals rallied from the halftime deficit.

All was not lost, however, in the defeat. The Burgher fans witnessed quite an offensive show from their blue-and-gold squad. Mike Curtis had 20 points to lead Warrensburg, including six three-pointers, which bore witness to Fort Ann’s steely defense as well as Curtis’ dead-eye aim under frenetic pressure.

Teammate Ryan Belden added 12 points to the Burgher effort. John Joseph chipped in eight points, Corey Chadwell had seven points — including one three-pointer — Tyler Williams had four points and Nick Monroe finished with three points.

Willsboro 56 Bolton 41 BOLTON LANDING — A solid run in the second half by the Bolton Eagles couldn’t overcome the 23-8 first quarter deficit they’d tallied against Willsboro’s initial output, resulting in a 56-41 loss Jan. 10.

Billy Smith scored 14 points for Bolton, including one three-pointer and Matt Smith and Mitchell Jordon each finished with 10 in the loss. Tyler Calzada finished with three and both Dustin French and Caleb Kneeshaw tallied two apiece. Alex Hamel of Willsboro led all players with 30 points.

Hadley-Luzerne 69 Warrensburg 56 LAKE LUZERNE — Two leading Hadley-Luzerne boys basketball players both had hot hands to overcome an aggressive effort by their Warrensburg counterparts.

The Eagles pulled ahead in the third quarter, outscoring Warrensburg 25-17 and rebounding hard. Waite finished with 25 points and 16 rebounds after scoring 13 points in the crucial third quarter. Densmore scored 27 points overall.

Ryan Belden led Warrensburg with 16 points and John Joseph contributed 13 points. Tyler Williams finished with seven points, Nick Monroe had six and Gabe MicGlire had two in the loss. Mike Curtis finished with nine points, including one three-pointer and teammate Corey Caldwell had the other three-point shot.

Lake George 72 North Warren 19 CHESTERTOWN — Lake George’s height, offensive rhythm, savvy passing and unselfish play were elements in the Warriors’ 72-19 landslide defeat of North Warren Jan. 11.

Matt Stover finished with eight points, J.D. Jenkins had one three-pointer, Jeff Maldonado finished with two points and Aaron Chambers had one point for the win.

With the victory, the Scots remained undefeated in the Adirondack League.

The Scots’ campaign featured outscoring North Warren 26-3 third quarter — and when added to a 22-point halftime lead, they overwhelmed the Cougars 78-26.

The Scots’ aggressive play was evident in the fact that North Warren’s top scorer in the game, Margo Broderick scored all eight of her points from the foul line.

Aiding in the Cougar offense were Jenna Monroe with six points, Chantal Millington and Morgan Tennyson with three each, while Kiera Warner, Lindsey Meade and Alana Kilcullen all had two points apiece in the loss.

Eighth grader Nick Sapienza led North Warren with 16 points and drilled four three-pointers — not only demonstrating how Argyle’s defense shut down the Cougars’ top players, but showcasing Sapienza’s stellar potential in upcoming years.

Bolton, Warrensburg revive talks of combining sports BCS-WCS Burgles?

BCS-WCS Beagles?

By Lynn Smith denpubs@denpubs.com

Soccer players from Warrensburg and North Warren tangle as the Burgher goalie defends her goal in a prior year’s matchup. Warrensburg officials are considering merging Warrensburg’s soccer and volleyball teams with Bolton’s.

Observers predict such a move would not only boost the joint teams competitiveness, but it would offer more opportunity for students of both schools, as the joint program would likely include a girls’ soccer team, which Warrensburg doesn’t offer. To date, female Burgher soccer players have competed on the boys team.

This is packbasket country!

Last week’s column about the Northville-Placid Trail, detailed the history of the oldest and longest end to end hiking trail in the Adirondacks. However, I must correct one fact. Work on the trail began in 1921 and it was officially completed in 1923. In 2013, the trail will celebrate its centennial Although the NPT likely remains the most popular and heavily traveled of the region’s long-distance trails, there is a new end to end, long distance hiking trail that is quickly gaining in popularity.

The Adirondack’s newest, long distance trail is the Cranberry Lake 50, a 50-mile loop that circumnavigates Cranberry Lake as it passes through some of the most remote, scenic and lightly traveled backcountry in the entire park.

I am quite familiar with the lay of the land in that region, since I have been traveling throughout the local woods and waters for many years, primarily while fishing for brook trout.

Several years ago, a writer from Men’s Journal magazine called while researching the most remote locations in the eastern U.S. He wanted to know about the kind of places where a man could escape modern day society and be truly lost for a while.

It didn’t take long for me to come up with an answer. Of the many areas I’ve traveled in over 30 years in the woods, it is difficult to find a place that is much wilder than the south end of Cranberry Lake and the adjacent Five Ponds Wilderness Area of the Oswegatchie River.

It is an area steeped in history, with loggers, guides and artists including Frederic Remington and famous anglers, including Ray Bergman author of Trout.

At the mouth of Sucker Brook, on the east shore of Cranberry Lake rests a monument carved into a huge glacial erratic.

Honoring one of the forefathers of Ameri-

can flyfishing, it reads, “In memory of Reuben Wood, a genial gentleman and great fisherman, who was fond of these solitudes.”

The new trail was completed in 2008 and it has a Web site located at www.cranberry50.org. The trail, which combines old logging roads, hunter ’s trails and canoe carries, saw the first hikers officially complete the Cranberry 50 in the spring of 2008.

The development of the trail is a testament to the vision, collaboration and hard work of townspeople, businesses, advocacy groups and the NYSDEC. To date, fewer than 100 people have completed the entire route. Only five travelers have done it in the winter, which is rather surprising since the trails and terrain are ideal for cross-country skiing.

Those who complete the entire route are entitled to a Cranberry Lake 50 patch.

The route, with a maximum elevation of only about 400 feet above sea level, encompasses a long section of the Oswegatchie River, before setting off through the remote ponds and big woods surrounding Cranberry Lake.

These are big woods, and in places, they have become nearly impassable due to the Big Blow of 1995, a windstorm that toppled over 100,000 acres of Adirondack forests.

Much of the country is impenetrable due to the severe blowdown.

The region is interspersed with numerous ponds, backwoods streams, waterfalls and innumerable beaver dams. It features a gentle mix of hardwood forests and old growth softwoods, with soaring virgin pine and huge old growth, hemlocks.

According to Sherman Craig, one of the trail’s founders, the effort was the brainchild of the 5 Ponds Partners, a group of local businesses and advocacy groups that wanted “to focus on maintaining the natu-

BOLTON — The concept of combining Warrensburg High School’s sports programs with Bolton’s is now receiving new attention as talks are under way involving the two schools’ administrators over the proposal.

Warrensburg High School Assistant Principal and Athletic Director Steve Nolan reiterated the advantages of combining interscholastic fall sports with Bolton Central at the Jan. 10 Warrensburg Central school board meeting.

Nolan told the board that a number of smaller rural school districts have successfully combined their sports programs in light of shrinking enrollment and declining participation.

He suggested that the board give the concept serious consideration for merging fall sports — particularly volleyball and soccer — instead of eliminating the programs entirely, due to inability to field a competitive team.

While Nolan has explored the idea of merging soccer, volleyball and football programs, he mentioned concerns to the board that such a joint football program would bump the combined team from Class D into the more-competitive Class C. The others would remain unaffected.

Girls volleyball, which at Warrensburg has been suffering from declining enrollment, has been defeated in all but a few games over the last several years.

Soccer also has struggled to remain competitive.

After much discussion last spring on potential volleyball merger — following a call to eliminate the team — a decision was made to continue with a stand-alone program.

Nolan repeated his observations to the

ral beauty and diverse recreational resources inherent to the area.”

They worked together to take advantage of the greatest economic development opportunities available in the area, the nearby woods and waters. As Mr. Craig explained, “It was economic development in its purest form. We recycled an old network of existing trails and turned it into an adventure, a quest.”

The grassroots effort was extraordinary, “I’ve never lived in a community that was so cooperative and supportive!” revealed Mr. Craig.

Wanakena has a year round population of about 40 residents, with over 200 residents living in town during the summer months.

It doesn’t hurt to have a nearby NYS Ranger School, with its incredible forestry resources, in Wanakena. Jamie Savage, also one of the “Partners,” is a forestry instructor at the campus.

A local chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club offered their help and trail building expertise. Other partners included the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, the Wildlife Conservation Society, the NYS Department of State and the North East State Foresters Association.

It also helped to have folks such as Rick Kovaks and his wife, Angie, owners of Packbasket Adventures, a bed and breakfast and Adirondack guide service in Wanakena.

In addition, Kovaks is the proprietor of the Wanakena General Store, the village meeting place. He has fashioned the business around the outdoors, with GPS and bear canister rentals, and a growing flyfishing shop, in addition to providing groceries and the daily newspaper.

I was interested to learn that Kovaks’ log cabin B&B sits on the banks of the Oswegatchie River, on the exact location of a cabin that was once owned by my old friend, the late Edwin Reid.

Reid was a Forest Ranger, guide, hunter,

board that it was difficult to recruit enough students from Warrensburg to field a team, but merging with Bolton would provide more athletic opportunities for students while making a joint team competitive.

Also, by combining sports programs with Bolton, the two schools could have an allgirls soccer team and an all-boys soccer team — while other teams could be gender inclusive, he said.

Nolan and others noted the accompanying drawbacks — the combined team would have a new name, uniforms, and overall identity, which might seem as a setback to community pride. Bolton has a lot of pride invested in their mascot, the Eagles, as does Warrensburg, with the long-standing term, the Burghers, sports fans have noted.

But others in the community have pointed out the success of the combined teams, like the War-Eagles Wrestling Team, which includes grapplers from both Hadley-Luzerne High and Lake George High schools.

Students and fans of both Hadley-Luzerne and Lake George High now identify with the War-Eagles’ success — the team has gained in both popularity and its competitive level since it was launched several years ago.

Other schools successfully merging programs and boosting participation and competitiveness include Indian Lake and Long Lake, plus Minerva and Newcomb.

Some have noted that fielding a joint Bolton-Warrensburg football program might boost the present Burgher team even if it was bumped into Class C, as the team would compete with Lake George, Corinth and other local C-school rivals that haven’t lost enrollment as fast as Warrensburg has.

As of Jan. 10, however, the school board members talked of exploring for the nearterm merely the merger of volleyball and soccer.

Further discussion is expected at the Jan. 31 meeting.

Rick Kovacs is the proprietor of the Wanakena General Store, the little store in the big woods. trapper and author. He was also a reporter for the Plattsburgh Press-Republican and a resident of Adirondac, located on the edge of the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness. Most of all, he was a sportsman.

Reid lived the backwoods life, summer and winter, and I expect he would be happy to know that his old haunts are still being enjoyed by a new generation of outdoor travelers. Reid’s old newspaper column heading was, “This is Packbasket Country.”

And so it remains, in a sleepy, little village, tucked away deep in the heart of the Adirondacks, there is an atmosphere of a time warp, where the town appears to be stuck in a kinder, gentler period, in a place where neighbors know their neighbors and everyone is willing to work together for the common good. It sure is nice to know that such a place still exists!

New county historian looks forward to outreach, bicentennial

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — A new Warren County Historian is now on the job, assisting people with genealogical research and similar duties of the countywide position.

Ann McCann of Queensbury, formerly an academic librarian, was chosen among a roster of candidates for the post.

She started work Dec. 9, replacing John Austin, a former county Family Court judge and noted history buff.

Upon his retirement in August, Austin was accorded considerable acclaim and was named Historian Emeritus for the county.

McCann has been employed for years as a reference librarian. Most recently,

she was a librarian for Hamilton-FultonMontgomery BOCES, before which she was a librarian at Glens Falls Middle School, a post she assumed in 1990.

Beforehand, she served for a while as head of circulation at Crandall Library.

Prior to that stint, she was a reference librarian for the state Legislature for several years. She also served in the 1990s as an editorial typist for the Post-Star.

McCann said her experience in research and her interest in history led her to apply for the county Historian post.

She said she’s looking forward to helping plan events for Warren County’s 200th anniversary, which is occurring in 2013. She said she also anticipates expanding the history-related outreach in the county as well as establishing or enhancing county history programming in the local schools.

Conservationist of the Year announced ADIRONDACK — A property-owners’ group was awarded recently for its members’ stewardship of natural resources.

Warren County Soil and Water Conservation District Chairman Frank Thomas, of Stony Creek, presented the East Shore Schroon Lake Association (ESSLA) with the District’s 2010 Conservationist of the Year Award at the regional agency’s recent annual meeting.

The Conservationist of the Year award is presented annually to an individual or organization that has demonstrated excellence in working to protect and improve the natural resources of Warren County.

ESSLA worked with the District agents and others in developing the new Schroon Lake Watershed Management Plan, which is now being viewed as a model by state government agencies and lake groups statewide.

ESSLA President Bill McGhie is now heading up a new committee focused on undertaking the many recommendations in the plan. McGhie said he and his group envision the management plan as a long-term mission, and want to assure that this important document doesn’t just sit on a shelf.

“The plan is the framework, but it doesn’t benefit the lake if we don’t act

McGhie accepted the award along with members Jane Smith and Vince Blando, who District agents said are very dynamic and involved in Schroon Lake projects such as a milfoil scouting program and Adopt-a-Highway litter cleanup.

“The East Shore Schroon Lake Association has such a positive impact on Schroon Lake,” Conservation District Manager Dave Wick said. “Bill and his organization’s members are tremendously active, and these local volunteer lake groups are really the core of conservation activities on our beautiful lakes.”

Officials mull SUNY tuition hikes, economic development Carol Brown: Community colleges will most likely not see rate increases

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo is taking a careful look at the State University of New York (SUNY) system as he prepares his first executive budget, and he may propose a tuition increase for the state’s public universities as he looks to address a budget deficit now projected at close to $11 billion.

Deborah Glick chairs the Assembly’s Higher Education Committee. She told reporters last week that she is concerned Cuomo’s budget could reduce financial aid for students while not adequately funding the SUNY system. Her colleague in the state Senate, Kenneth LaValle, said the state must invest in SUNY schools — which he called “economic engines.”

Enrollment has steadily increased at four-year schools and community colleges, despite flat or reduced state spending.

Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward said rumors that Cuomo may hike tuition are circulating in Albany, but he hasn’t released anything concrete yet. She said that if Cuomo does present a proposal to increase tuition, it will be looked at seriously.

“Do I like to think that tuition is going to go up? No. I have grandchildren in college and it’s tough enough for these kids to get a good education,” Sayward said. “But there’s no money. We’re going to have some tough decisions to make. This is just one proposal of his that we’re going to see. We’re also going to see a smorgasbord of cuts that we’ll have to consider.”

LaValle said increasing tuition to balance the state’s budget is inappropriate, noting that money from past hikes was used outside of the SUNY system.

Sayward said additional revenue gained through a potential tuition hike must go back to the state’s public universities.

“I think that in every instance that money is generated for a certain purpose should be committed to that purpose,” she said. “Whether it’s for colleges, snowmobile trails, or even

transportation and infrastructure.”

Our tuition is set Dr. Carol Brown, president of North Country Community by the board of College, which is located in trustees.

Saranac Lake and has campuses in Malone and Ticonderoga, — Carol Brown said community colleges President of NCCC won’t be subjected to tuition hikes, as rates are set by independent boards of trustees.

“In terms of tuition, he was focused on the four-year schools, as their tuition is set by the state Legislature,” Brown said. “Our tuition is set by the board of trustees. Having said that, we have to be mindful — and very responsible in anything we do — to remember what it costs for our students to go to school and the needs they have up here.”

And while SUNY administrators are concerned about a potential tuition hike, they’re also encouraged that Cuomo is aiming to utilize SUNY schools in order to enhance the state’s economy.

SUNY will play a large role in the creation of 10 regional economic development councils, which Cuomo hopes will spur job creation throughout the state.

Brown says two- and four-year schools can play a huge role in turning around a stagnant economy.

“That’s what we’re known for,” Brown said. “The focus for community colleges has always been to support an infrastructure of economic and workforce development. I think we all recognize these are difficult times. We’re all going to be called upon to be creative, reorganize, and reinvent in order to support the state.”

Assemblywoman Sayward said it makes sense to give SUNY more responsibility when it comes to economic development, noting that colleges employ people and train students for the workforce.

So far, Cuomo has been quiet about his intentions to raise tuition. His executive budget is due Feb. 1.

Landowner wants DEC official charged for leaking charges

By Jon Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com NORTH ELBA — Leroy Douglas has filed a complaint seeking criminal charges against state Department of Environmental Conservation spokesman David Winchell.

North Elba Town Court officials confirmed Tuesday that the complaint has been filed, and forwarded to the office of the Essex County District Attorney for review.

The complaint alleges that Winchell intentionally disclosed Grand Jury information — a felony.

Douglas’s complaint follows a motion for special prosecution filed by his attorney, Matt Norfolk, who’s representing him in his ongoing battle with the state Adirondack Park Agency.

Though declining to comment this week, Norfolk used the alleged leak as a basis for the need for a special prosecutor in the Clinton County felony case against Douglas.

“The state Department of Environmental Conservation, apparently in conjunction with the District Attorney’s Office disseminated a press release entitled ‘Clinton County

man indicted and arraigned for environmental crimes,’” Norfolk wrote.

Douglas — who is in a fierce legal battle with the APA and facing trial for a host of environmental charges — was indicted Jan. 4 in Clinton County Court. Certain media received the press release from Winchell at 2:05 p.m., moments after Douglas’s arraignment ended.

“In their zeal to publicly smear and embarrass Mr. Douglas, DEC and particular DEC employees — who are not investigating enforcement officers — have violated Penal Law 215.70 and Criminal Procedure Law 190.25,” Norfolk wrote.

“It appears that the District Attorney’s Office has assisted or enabled them to do so.”

The press release in question detailed the numerous charges Douglas faces.

North Elba Town Court officials confirmed that only Winchell’s name appears on the complaint, which makes no mention of Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie – or Douglas’s prosecuting attorney, Assistant D.A. Tim Blatchley.

Winchell declined comment this week.

State, Flatiron seek to build Crown Point Bridge arches on site Project on schedule; Bridge expected to open in October

By Jon Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com

PORT HENRY — State engineers and private contractors are seeking to assemble the arches for the new Crown Point Bridge in the village of Port Henry.

Richard Weber is assistant director of Regulatory Affairs at the state Adirondack Park Agency. He told the APA’s Board of Commissioners last week that a variance request to allow the arch assembly at Velez Marina is expected to be up for agency approval in February.

“We are expecting, but have not yet received, application material for a state agency project coming from the general contractor that is working on the Champlain Bridge under direct supervision of the DOT,” he said. “Specifically, the contractor proposes to develop a temporary staging area for the development of the arches for the Champlain Bridge.”

Flatiron Construction is building the new bridge under the direct supervision of the state Department of Transportation.

DOT reports the bridge construction is on schedule and on budget. It’s expected to open to traffic next October.

Businesses near the Crown Point Bridge are reporting reduced tourist traffic from Vermont. The state is offering grants and loans for any busi-

JCS employee charged with felony

By Lindsay Yandon lyandon@gmail.com JOHNSBURG — Brian Davis, 61, head mechanic at Johnsburg Central School (JCS) was arrested and arraigned last week on one felony count of falsifying business records in the first degree and one misdemeanor count of petit larceny.

Warren County Sheriff Investigators Russ Lail and John Maday questioned Davis last Tuesday afternoon at JCS reBrian Davis garding a personal car alternator that he had rebuilt and then billed the costs to a school account. Davis then attempted to conceal his crime by making a false entry on an inventory sheet that the generator was installed on a school bus.

An antique car enthusiast, Davis billed the cost of a $228 rebuild to a Model T Ford car alternator to a JCS account.

The alleged theft was detected in an audit, where the bill was called into question because it purchased a part for a vehicle that is not owned by the school district.

Davis was arraigned in Johnsburg Town Court and released on his own recognizance after signing a Parker admonishment. He is due to return to Johnsburg Town Court Wednesday, Feb. 2 at 7 p.m. His alleged crime is punishable by up to four years in state prison.

County hatchery OKed to sell its fish

By Jon Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — The state Department of Environmental Conservation has put its stamp of approval on a proposal that would allow Essex County to sell surplus fish from its fish hatchery.

While hashing out the 2011 county budget late last year, county officials openly discussed shuttering the facility, which annually costs $280,000 to operate and is in need of another $100,000 in renovations.

But seeking to save the facility after local fisherman cried foul, County Chairman Randy Douglas began lobbying DEC to overturn longstanding deed restrictions that barred the coun-

ty from turning a profit on the fish it raises.

“It looks like it’s going to happen,” Douglas said.

DEC spokeswoman Lori Severino said the DEC has approved the change, provided that the bulk of county fish continue to go to publicly accessible waters.

The move would allow Essex County to sell surplus fish to private groups for a profit. County officials hope the move lessens the burden of the hatchery’s operation on the local tax base.

DEC has forwarded its recommendation to the state Office of General Services, which must give final approval.

Officials said OGS is currently reviewing the proposal.

LOST & FOUND PLEASE HELP! My children’s hearts are broken. Our Sunshine has been missing since November 23, 2010, the same day that our dog Shady staggered into our home bleeding from the head and mouth, dying from wounds inflicted by a hollow shell bullet. Its is bad enough to loose a member of our family but to never find the body of the other is cruel. Please help us put Sunshine to rest humanely with closure for my children and I, and so we know, at least in death she has the dignity she rightfully deserves. Sunshine is a german shepard/golden retreiver mix. Her color is brindle and she has a bobbed tail.

We hope and pray still a friendly dog.

Please help us have a New Year miracle.

If you know of her whereabouts, please call us at 802-349-3489. Last seen at Silver Hill Road, Witherbee on the morning of November 23rd.
