L. George board sets new zoning regulations

IN LAKE GEORGE

By Thom Randall

Firefighters honored

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ Changes to local zoning laws that allow buildings along particular stretches of Canada St. to be as tall as 70 feet high Ñ and set strict design standards for new commercial buildings Ñ was unanimously approved Monday, July 22 by the village board. The changes were approved by the board following a public hearing during which only a few of the dozen or so speakers expressed reservations on the proposal, and the rest voiced solid support. The prevailing positivism over the zoning changes was in sharp contrast to earlier public meetings on the issue. The approval of the zoning changes sets the stage for a six-story Marriott hotel & conference center to be built on the northern end of Canada St. by local developer Dave Kenny, pending approval by the village Planning Board and the Adirondack Park Agency. Ò This will generate a tremendous value to the village,Ó Mayor Blais said of the CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

Summerfest heats up, temps cool By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN Ñ Due to the oppressive heat, ChestertownÕ s annual Summerfest had a slow start Saturday, but the large crowd that turned out as the sun slumped in the sky had plenty of fun well into the night, event organizers reported this week. The largest lineup of vendors in Sum-

merfestÕ s history were on site on the town recreation field — but through the afternoon, few people were turning out to browse among their wares. But the expansive evening crowd that gathered enjoyed live music by singersongwriter Steven L. Smith, dancing, fireworks, plus a children’s tug of war competition, a mini petting zoo and other family-friendly activities. The vendors that stayed late were rewarded for their patience, event organizer

Wild Character My Favorite Marten The American Marten, a happy-go-lucky round-eared, bushy-tailed, slender weasel, is often confused with its cousin, the Pine Marten, because it likes to party among the pines. Its rich, silky fur varies in color from pale yellow to nearly black. By 1892, when the Adirondack Park was created, trapping had www.exploringnature.org nearly erased the marten from the Northeast. New York’s now-healthy population rebounded from a feisty isolated group that survived in the northern Adirondack Park.

Two leading LG firefighters honored for decades of service thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ Dozens of local citizens gathered Monday July 15 to honor two local firefighters who together devoted well more than 100 years to the Lake George Fire Department and other community organizations. Robert McKinney and the late Wayde Earl were both hailed for their longstanding dedication to the community, as a plaque commemorating their service was unveiled at the entrance of the Lake George firehall on Ottawa St.. This plaque, set in a stone monument beside the firehall walkway, is the debut memorial in the villageÕ s new Walk of Honor. Lake George Mayor Robert Blais said both Earl and McKinney had devoted most all of their adult years volunteering to protect the lives and property of their fellow citizens, as well as serving on various other community organizations. Ò Volunteers like Wayde and Bob spend many of their days in service, in training, plus contributing in other ways,Ó he said, noting that their sons and daughters have followed their example, serving the community in an exemplary fashion as well. Ò A lot of communities across the nation would love to have citizens like the McKinneys and Earls,Ó he said. Blais noted that Wayde Earl devoted years of his life to various community organizations, including the Lake George Rotary Club, the local American Legion post and Masonic Lodge, and the Lake George Historical Association, entities for which he held leadership roles. Earl was also Lake George Town Supervisor from 1968 through 1969 and served as a village trustee in the early 1960s — as well as a stint as village justice. During his lengthy tenure with the Lake George Fire Department, Earl served in various executive roles, including President and Chaplain. Earl, who died in 2009, served as president, trustee and convention chairman of the Hudson Valley Volunteer Firemen’s Association, as well as an officer of the Firemen’s Association of the State of New York (FASNY). Robert McKinney, now 78, has served the Lake George Fire Co. for 47 years, much of that time in various offices including Assistant Chief, Secretary, Vice President and Director. McKinney and Earl served for consecutive decades on the of both FASNY board of directors and as a trustee overseeing the FASNY firefighters’ home in Hudson NY, which serves up to 90 elderly firefighters hailing from across New York State. FASNYÕ s CEO David Quinn said that Earl and McKinney had served the stateÕ s citizenry with remarkable dedication. Ò They broke the mold after these two men were made,Ó he said. Jamie Quinn, a FASNY official who heads up the agency’s Museum of Firefighting, said McKinney had been like a “father figure” who guided the museum board through some troubled times years ago, and the facility rebounded due to his advice. Wayde Earl’s widow, Margaret “Peg” Earl, 90, witnessed the Walk of Honor ceremony and offered her thoughts. She has been a member of the local fire company Auxiliary for 50 or 60 years. Ò ItÕ s really nice when your own people recognize you,Ó she said on behalf of her late husband. At a reception that followed, she recalled how their family life revolved around fire service. “When the fire whistle blew, Wayde and our sons John and Earl would always race to get to the firehouse — they’d make it into a contest,” she said, noting that Wayde was the first president of the fire company when it became incorporated. She also said, rolling her eyes, that Wayde had accumulated so many plaques, citations and trophies for his fire service that they enclosed their porch to hold them all Ñ along with his beloved circus memorabilia. Their son Todd, who has served in the Lake George Fire Department for 25 years Ñ including several years as Fire Chief Ñ recalled his fatherÕ s dedication. Just a matter of hours before Wayde Earl died in his sleep at the age of 89, he was out in Shepard Park selling raffle tickets to benefit the fire company, Todd

Earl said. “My dad carried through his commitment to fire service as long as he could move,Ó he said. ToddÕ s brother John Earl has served for 45 years in the local fire company, fulfilling the duties of Fire Chief from 1979 to 1983. He’s also now Deputy Mayor of the village. Their sister Nancy has been active in the Auxiliary for 25 years or more. Prior to move to Lake George in 1966, McKinney served in the West Glens Falls Fire Co. for nearly a dozen years. In the mid-1990s, McKinney served as a town board member, and he has been bestowed with a number of firefighting honors, including Hudson Valley FiremenÕ s Association Lifetime Achievement Award, the agency’s first ever granted. He was also named 1992 Lake George Citizen of the Year by the village board. Like his cohort Wayde, Robert McKinneyÕ s family life was immersed in fire service, recalled his daughter Barbara McKinney McGuirk, who was named the local fire department’s first female president in its lengthy history. She also is a recruiting official for FASNY. “Growing up, our social life revolved around the fire company,Ó she said, noting that as children, she and her siblings started off by selling raffle tickets. “Those were the very best years — we had a ton of fun.Ó BarbaraÕ s mother (and BobÕ s wife) Marie served 50 years in the fire company Auxiliary, and sister Joan Sady, now clerk for the Warren County Board of Supervisors, has also been active in the fire service. Brother Thomas McKinney is past chief of the fire department, and is now Secretary Ñ and heÕ s followed in his fatherÕ s footsteps as a Trustee of the FASNY firefighters’ home. Sister Patty McKinney Schuster is Secretary of the Auxiliary, and sister Donna McKinney Engle is also an active member. Various McKinney grandchildren are active in Junior Auxiliary organizations.

Besides recalling helping fight the major fires that occurred during the 1960s and 1970s in the village, Robert McKinney noted he was the only firefighter to serve in Lake George’s three consecutive fire halls. Ò ItÕ s been a good ride,Ó he said. Lake George Town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson said the dedication of both Wayde Earl and Robert McKinney was unsurpassed, and their families carried on the admirable tradition. Ò Both of these men have been really committed to their fellow citizens,Ó he said. Ò And theyÕ ve passed on their strong community-minded values to all their family members.Ó

Area newswriter headed for editor post in Idaho By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ A leading journalist of the southern Adirondacks will soon be loading his motorcycle into the back of his pickup truck, tossing in a couple of suitcases Ñ and leaving his hometown of Warrensburg behind, heading for Idaho. And it wonÕ t be to write a travelogue. Jon Alexander of Warrensburg Ñ who launched his news-reporting career with Denton Publications Ñ is moving to Twin Falls, Idaho to become the Editorial Page Editor of the Twin Falls Times-News. Alexander started off as a reporter for the Adirondack Journal in 2008, and in 2009 served as Editor of the North Creek News Enterprise. later that year, he was named Assistant News Director of radio station WNBZ of Saranac

Lake. Since 2011, he’s been a high-profile reporter for the Post-Star in Glens Falls, primarily covering governmental affairs and breaking news. For most of his journalism career, heÕ s also reported for North Country Public Radio, based in Canton. AlexanderÕ s last day at the Post-Star is Aug. 3, and on Aug. 19 he starts in his new position, writing editorials and creating the opinion pages for the Times-News. Both newspapers are owned by Lee Enterprises. Alexander is well-known for his articles, many of which have explored the quirky elements of human behavior underlying political activities and processes. Alexander credits his studies in anthropology, which he said has offered him insights into the parallels between primate behavior and political dynamics. Ò While our closest primate relatives form al-

liances by killing and sharing the meat, humans are good at forming committees,Ó he said. Ò I like to look at the actions of legislative bodies through an evolutionary perspective.Ó One of AlexanderÕ s top achievements was his report on how Gov. Andrew Cuomo was clamping down on public access to information in his adminstration, and the fears, resentments it sparked. The article prompted a response from the Cuomo administration, and some observers say the Governor has since backed off on the approach. AlexanderÕ s questioning of public works officials years ago about beefing up engineering and construction of roadways and bridges in the wake of increasingly frequent violent weather incidents has prompted new conversations on re-thinking infrastructure design. His articles on the issue of climate change, violent weather and infrastructure are now referenced by various authoritative sources. His article on the unexpected early deterioration of intentionally-rusting steel used in the Adirondacks for guiderails and elsewhere for bridges and buildings Ñ written while a Denton employee Ñ also achieved national atten-

tion. Alexander noted that the subsequent replacement of the boutique steel cost taxpayers more than $120 million. Alexander is a 2000 graduate of Warrensburg Central. He continued his studies at SUNY Oneonta, followed by graduate work in New Mexico, focusing on Anthropology. Monday, Alexander reflected on his formative years working for Denton Publications and his newswriting in the Adirondacks. Ò DentonÕ s got my foot in the door, gave me my initial training Ñ and it meant a lot to me,Ó he said. Ò IÕ ve enjoyed covering news in the area, and IÕ ll miss it Ñ but this is a good career move.Ó Alexander continued that he was looking forward to not only his new post at the TimesNews but also experiencing the wild country of Idaho, which offers outstanding hunting and fishing in its high plains and in the two mountain ranges between which Twin Falls is located. Ò The position at the Times-News is really exciting,Ó he said, noting heÕ ll doubtlessly be intrigued with the different culture of the west, with its streak of individualism. “Also, the flyfishing in the Snake River is world-class.”

At a recent public appearance in Keene, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (left answers a question from area journalist Jon Alexander of Warrensburg (right) concerning how the government needs to beef up the strength and capacity of its roads and bridges to accommodate more frequent violent weather incidents. The interview was conducted following a ribbon cutting for the new Keene Firehouse, a replacement for the building washed away in 2011 by Tropical Storm Irene.

Opinion Adirondack Journal Editorial

Thoughts on Cuomo’s dog-and-pony show L

etÕ s be clear Ñ we are grateful to Gov. Andrew Cuomo for establishing the Adirondack Challenge Festival. Local towns and counties couldnÕ t afford to buy that much publicity for our tourism-dependent region. For a weekend, the Adirondack Park was in New YorkÕ s limelight, and it felt great. It felt even better for the governor, who was able to award himself the Adirondack ChallengeÕ s top prize for winning the whitewater rafting races on Sunday, July 21 on the Indian River. The Senate came in second. The Assembly third. Come on! Did they let him win? Did he have a head start? Were State Police scuba divers holding back the other rafts? We know he had a strong team and a top-notch rafting guide in Bone Bayse of Beaver Brook Outfitters. But still ... the governor wins his own challenge? Sounds fishy. We’ll never know the whole truth (the governor’s office isn’t always forthcoming with such information). On face value, it looked like the Adirondack Challenge was one big dog-and-pony show for CuomoÕ s ego. But weÕ re OK with that. Maybe Cuomo deserved the win, maybe he didnÕ t. It doesnÕ t matter. For the amount of positive national exposure Cuomo gave the Adirondack Park, he can have a dozen first-place paddles. And if he ever makes it to the White House, heÕ ll remember the good times he had in the Adirondack Park. Maybe heÕ ll set up a summer White House here like Calvin Coolidge did in 1926 at White Pine Camp in Paul Smiths. That would be great exposure, too. New York governors have come and gone, and most have just ignored the Adirondack Park. Gov. George Pataki was a strong advocate; heck, he even bought property here in Essex. And, like Pataki, Cuomo genuinely likes spending time in the Adirondacks. He vacations here with his family, sneaking away from Albany many times without the expectation of a headline or a photo opportunity. That, in itself, is the best testimonial. Yet Cuomo, with deep roots in New York City politics, brings something else to the table that other Adirondack-loving governors have not Ñ the understanding of how to draw attention to this region Ñ get people involved, especially from the downstate movers and shakers

in business and politics. Throw them in a whitewater raft knowing theyÕ ll enjoy the natural beauty, camaraderie of a paddling team, the spirit of competitiveness and fun, and give them a cold Adirondack beer at the end of the day. Show them a good time, and make some memories. ThatÕ s what people will remember the most when it comes time to make decisions about this special place in northern New York. And itÕ s those memories that will generate positive word-of-mouth advertising and lead to an increase in tourism. We only hoped the governor would let New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg win the second Adirondack Challenge whitewater rafting race down the Indian River on Monday, July 22. This way, Bloomberg would have bragged about it for years, adding even more word-ofmouth value to the experience. Instead, the governorÕ s competitiveness overpowered his political savvy. Everyone has their weakness. Cuomo just had to win the second race, too. The rumblings of criticism about the thousands of people who didnÕ t show up to the Adirondack Challenge Festival in Indian Lake this past weekend are unfair, especially since there was a good crowd of locals and tourists in town. Expectations may have been too high. We think some people lost sight of the real purpose of the Adirondack Challenge. It wasnÕ t to attract tourists for one weekend; it was to attract tourists for many weekends in the future. Thanks to the free publicity and the I Love NY advertising campaign for the Adirondack Region, we hope to see thousands more tourists from New York City, Long Island and Westchester County visit these mountains in the months and years ahead, instead of heading to Vermont, New Hampshire or Maine for their vacations. All in all, the governorÕ s publicity stunt was well worth the time and money, and we thank him for all the attention. We must also thank the dozens of volunteers and organizers who hosted the townwide festival in Indian Lake for their time, hard work and hospitality. They were somewhat overshadowed by the governor, but they played one of the most important roles over the weekend. They showed the visitors a good time, as they always do, with a smile and a Ò Come back again soon.Ó Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board

Turning Back the Pages By Jean Hadden 100 Years Ago - July, 1913 A thrifty but shifty hermit

Orlando Bryant, a thrifty and by reputation, somewhat shifty citizen of Warrensburgh, who currently lives alone in a hut on his ancestral acres on Harrington Hill, is profiting considerably by the state and county bounty on hedgehogs and hen hawks. For the extermination of these alleged destroyers of farm crops, the state pays a bounty of 25 cents and at the spring meeting of the Warren County Board of Supervisors, a resolution was passed authorizing the payment of the same amount by the county, thus making the carcass of a deceased quill thrower worth 50 cents to the person possessing it as proof that the animal had been deprived of life and consequent possibilities of future mischief. It is required that the forepaws of a hedgehog shall be presented to the supervisor of the town, who will pay the bounty. During the past two or three months, Bryant has brought to Warrensburgh Supervisor Milton Eldridge a surprising number of paws and has collected the bounty on them. There is apparently no chance for fraud, but it certainly is curious how so many of the pesky animals could be captured on the hill since the double bounty went into effect. The woods must be full of them and Orlando must have a great knack of catching them. Some weeks ago he collected as much as $8, having the paws to show that he killed 16 or more. Orlando claims to have a mysterious power over animals. He boasts that he can charm them and relates some wonderful tales of his exploits, especially with foxes, one of the most cunning and wary of the beasts of the forest. He surely has the hedgehogs coming his way, however he does it Ñ and if the supply holds out, he has a good thing going for him. (Note:- Orlando Bryant was a Warrensburgh celebrity in his own time Ñ and he thoroughly enjoyed enhancing his legend. He was shrewd, calculating and often intoxicated. He professed to being a student of the occult and boasted about his dealings with the devil. He used to kill rats and put them in a sack which he brought

into the bar at the Grand Army House to show off to the patrons. He lived in Ò unspeakable filth” in a “squalid abode” on Harrington Hill on the family farm where he faithfully kept a dozen or more cheap clocks loudly ticking which he said relieved his loneliness. I believe that he was the son of Roswell Bryant who served honorably in the Civil War and died in 1891. Roswell is buried in the Harrington Hill Cemetery. Orlando was married but his wife left and moved far away from him to a western state. He also had a daughter, Emma, and a son and they both deserted him. His son died honorably in the Spanish - American War. In later years Orlando lived on his farm with his three elderly sisters. In 1916 Orlando was convicted of stealing chickens and was sent to Albany Penitentiary for five months. At the time, the local people placed bets on whether the shock would kill him if they gave him a bath there. In the Ò Dinner with the DeadÓ reenactment put on by the Warrensburgh Historical Society in 2010, John Gable played Orlando Bryant and he did an excellent job. Thank you to Rita Ferraro and Sandi Parisi of the Warrensburgh Historical Society who assisted me with information.)

Taking a wild tumble

Leonard Ross, 11, was seriously if not fatally injured and his brother, Barey, 2 years his junior, suffered a bad shaking up in a runaway accident the morning of July 30, 1913 at Wevertown. The boys were riding on a hay rake drawn by a team of horses when the animals became frightened and ran off. The boys went to the hayfield with their stepfather, Henry Johnson, who was working the horses on the rake. The man left for a short time to go to a nearby field and the boys climbed on the machine and started the team for the barn. They had gone but a short distance when the animals became frightened and broke into a run. Both boys were thrown from the seat and Leonard was caught in the teeth of the rake and whirled along the ground at a rapid rate sustaining a broken leg and many painful injuries. Barey was thrown clear of the machine and escaped with only a few scratches and a severe

Heritage Showcase this weekend!

Be sure to check out Thurman Station Wilderness Heritage Showcase this weekend, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 27 on Rte. 418 in Thurman. There is sure to be something for everybody at this premier event. There will be exhibitors, vendors, musicians, and crafters Ñ all reflecting the culture and traditions of the Adirondacks. The idea for the Showcase event was born from the desire to bring Thurman to the people, in an attempt to show to not only tourists but area residents what Thurman and surrounding communities have to offer Ñ and once people experience a taste of mountain life, they will want to come back again and again.

Fall Farm Tour not far away

Believe it or not, the Thurman Fall Farm Tour, planned for Oct. 12, is just around the corner. Last year was the first time I attended the Thurman Fall Farm Tour and I must say that it was a delight. It was a great way to get to socialize with neighbors that I ordinarily wouldnÕ t have the opportunity to see Ñ as well as get a glimpse of their lives and their livelihoods. My whole family enjoyed themselves, from my husband who enjoyed listening to and watching demonstrations by Gary Martin of MartinÕ s Lumber, to my teenagers who liked sampling Nettle MeadowÕ s various cheeses and side dishes that can be made with their gourmet goat cheeses. Even though we got some light rain last year, my littlest made the best of the experience by stomping through puddles in his rain boots and imitating the turkeys at Whitefield’s Farm. We all had such a great time that I brought my mother and stepfather the following day Ñ on Sunday. This year it is a oneday-only event, so make sure to get out on Saturday to see all Thurman has to offer! We hear that this year there will be a chicken barbecue once again at Toad Hill Maple Farm. The chicken barbecue provided by Thurman Volunteer Fire Co. is from 1 to 5 p.m. and there are a limited number of tickets available.

Paranormal detective work?

Adirondack Spectral Investigations is a local group which investigates strange phenomenon in historic houses and private residences throughout the region. Founded by Sally Feihel in 2011, she and Cheryl Kenyon have worked together to find out why the afterlife decides sometimes to linger, the two have said. Feihel and Kenyon were recently interviewed about their work by David Storey of TV8, based in Glens Falls. While they were

shaking up. Doctors agreed that LeonardÕ s condition was serious and he was taken to the Albany Hospital.

Boy escapes river’s rushing flow

Floyd Herrick, 8, son of James G. Herrick, had a narrow escape from drowning July 7, 1913 in the Schroon River behind his father’s store on River St. in Warrensburgh. Thinking that the fishing was better in the middle of the stream, the lad ventured out on a small log. A few minutes later he succeeded in falling from his log into the rather rapid current just as another log came along which he grabbed and by vigorous kicking, managed to get to the opposite shore where he scrambled out none the worse for his soaking. (Note: HerrickÕ s Variety Store was a busy grocery store through the 1980s — when it was operated by Dick Maxam, a son-in-law of the second generation of Herricks.)

Finishing touches on beauty

Lewis Thomson has had the finishing touches accomplished on the lawn of his beautiful home on Upper Main Street, Warrensburgh graded by Thomas Mannix of Glens Falls and it is now being tastefully decorated with suitable shrubbery while a wide cement walk is being laid both in front of the property and also on the Second St. side. (Note: This 27-room house, built in 1906, is today called Ò Cornerstone VictorianÓ and is owned by Doug and Louise Goettsche.)

Mrs. Moon avoids serious illness

Mrs. James Moon has been ill for several days as she was threatened by pneumonia, but Dr. Allen Parker was able to avert the attack. (Note - On March 27, 1873, Miss H.E. Salisbury of Hadley became the bride of James Moon of Warrensburgh. They had three children, Charles, John and Jennie Moon. John died in 1888. James Moon, born on his fatherÕ s farm in Warrensburgh in 1830, was Warren County Sheriff in 1865, County Treasurer in 1873 and in 1876 he was appointed keeper of Clinton Prison at Dannemora. He resigned there as Deputy Warden in 1892 and retired. The Moon family lived on Hudson St. in Warrensburgh.)

Motorcycle mishap

Wasili Mishuroff, a wealthy man of Russian rank, who is a summer guest at Hotel Marion, Lake George, sustained fractures of both arms, a fracture of his nose and other injuries on July 13, 1913 in a motorcycle accident. He had attached an extra seat to the cycle to allow Thurston Hill, a boy, to ride with him. The seat worked loose and both boy and man were thrown off.

News roundabout

New health laws to go into effect Jan. 1, 1914 cuts out the fee of 25 cents previously allowed to doctors for reporting births, a service required as part of the professional duties of a physician. James Richardson, one of the oldest residents of Wevertown, enjoyed his first auto ride Sunday July 27, 1913 with Burt Stevens in Burt’s new car. Nathan Drake of North Creek, who fractured his hip by falling down stairs at his home several months ago and was in critical condition in little hope of recovery, is now able to be about in a wheel chair. John Miller, who has been in poor health for some time, died at his home on the outskirts of Wevertown, July 11, 1913. Burial was in the Bates Cemetery. The Agricultural Hotel, conducted by Henry Ashe, on upper Hudson St. (now known as Ashe’s Hotel) is filled to capacity with a merry crowd of summer guests. KinneÕ s Circus pitched its tents July 22, 1913 near the hotel. Caroline Hitchcock of Bakers Mills went to Newcomb where she will be employed as a cook in Jesse StanleyÕ s lumber camp during the summer. W.E. Pereau has opened a new tin shop at North Creek in the John Little block. Lee L. Hall has a number of men building a mill near Stony Creek depot and will move his excelsior machines to that place. Andrew Hazelton has in his possession a tiny fish which came through the village water pipes alive to his home on Horicon Avenue, Warrensburgh.

Events & activities in the hills

Smokey Greene to appear here

Come on out to Thurman to hear the legendary Smokey Greene in concert July 29 at Veterans’ Memorial Field behind the town hall on July 29. Smokey will play from 7 p.m. 9 p.m. Smokey Greene has been playing country music for over half a century. When he was a young teenager, Smokey played at dude ranches, rodeos, honky tonks and kitchen hops after he first learned to play the tenor banjo. By age 16, he added the guitar, mandolin and fiddle to his repertoire. About that time, he teamed up with his mentor, Slim Clark, a yodeler. After nine years in the Air Force he performed on radio, and in clubs, rural town halls and grange halls, according to a biography published on airplaydirect.com. In 1966 he opened his own club where he booked many of the nation’s top country and bluegrass acts. In the 1970s, he started his own bluegrass festival which had a 16-year run. This free concert is one of a Monday-night series through the summer, bankrolled through Warren County Occupancy Tax funds, allocated by the Town of Thurman. Accompanying the concerts are a group of vendors Ñ gardeners and artisans. Set-up time for this market is 6:30 p.m.To reserve an 8’x8’ space, contact the Thurman Town Hall at 623-9649.

Volunteers needed for PTSA tasks

Get your pet a rabies shot

Warren County Public Health will be holding a rabies clinic Saturday July 27 from 10 a.m. until noon at the firehouse in Brant Lake. Pets must be three months of age to receive their first immunization, which will afford them protection for one year. The next shot, a booster, will afford protection for three years and is required one year after the first shot was given. From then on every three years a booster should be given to protect pets. Both initial and booster shots will be given at all clinics scheduled by Warren County Public Health. A $10 donation is requested for each pet. No one is turned away due to financial hardship, however. Bring dogs on leashes and small pets in carriers. Fore details, call Warren County Public Health at 761-6580.

Zoning regulations from page 1

revisions to the zoning laws, which presently allow buildings of three stories. Ò The changes this will bring to Lake George are enormous, high quality, and something we can live with for years to come.Ó Lake George Waterkeeper Chris Navitsky had asked the board to postpone such changes until Ò low-impactÓ development standards were in place and planned upgrades at the village sewer treatment plant were completed. These upgrades are intended to reduce the pollutants in the plant’s effluent and boost the plantÕ s capacity. Responding to the plea to hold off the changes from both Navitsky and local resident Michey Onofrietto, Blais responded that a $3.2 million sewer plant improvement project was underway, and ongoing efforts to curb inflows of groundwater into sewer mains meant that more and more sewer plant capacity was being freed up for new development. Both Blais and Lake George Forum owner Ralph Macchio Sr. said that the commercial development spurred by the zoning changes would help fund the upgrades to the sewer plant, as well as other public infrastructure. “These zoning changes are one of the most significant in Lake George in the last 100 years,Ó Macchio said. Patricia Kirkpatrick, owner of buildings on Canada Street, had urged the board to vote in favor of the zoning changes. Ò If Lake George doesnÕ t take action to lengthen their season, the village will become old and stagnant,Ó she said. Lynn-Aire Motel owner John Kim, an in-law of Dave KennyÕ s, offered a similar thought. He noted that vacationers were increasingly drawn to upscale, modern hotels rather than indepen-

dent cottages and motels. Ò If we donÕ t have change, everything is going to go under Ñ like a mudslide,Ó he said, noting that climate change was also a factor threatening year-round commerce by curbing winter recreation. Lake George Town Board member Vinny Crocitto, owner of a local motel also expressed support. Ò This is exactly the project envisioned in the comprehensive plan adopted by the town in 2002,Ó he said of the Marriott project, adding that Kenny had a track record of following through on his plans in a responsible manner. Ò This zoning change will stimulate a lot of tax dollars, and the time is now to make the change.Ó Sue Millington, who owns a building just north of the Marriott site, said the recent sale of three Canada St. parcels to Kenny for $2.8 million provided proof that new development in the village would spur prosperity by boosting property values. She said she was Ò totally in favorÓ of allowing taller buildings, but she asked the board to hold off on the architectural standards, which promote design standards with a historic ambiance. She held up a rendering of a boxy reflective glass-panel building showing her design preference.

Ò Why canÕ t we slow this down a couple of months,Ó she said of the pending decision. The design standards approved Monday include prohibiting certain lower-grade building materials, specifying building orientation on properties, The architectural requirements include allowing only earth-tone and historic colors, mandating that doorways be recessed, and that windows be appropriately spaced and sized, and that story heights are compatible with neighboring buildings. Long, flat, blank walls and rooflines are prohibited. The ordinance also calls for the use of dormers, parapets, stepped roofs, balconies, cornices, plus wall offsets and recesses to create visual appeal. These mandates would apply only to new construction or substantial renovations. Developer John Carr, owner of Adirondack Pub & Brewery, said that allowing taller buildings and calling for them to be situated right on the sidewalks created a streetscape that encouraged walking, showing, viewing of window displays Ñ an experience that visitors desire. “Keeping pedestrian traffic along Canada Street and keeping them comfortable is a key, key thing,Ó he said.

Cuomo also spent some time July 20 fishing on Follensby Pond with Nature Conservancy officials and touring the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake with Director David Kahn. During his closing remarks at the July 21 awards ceremony, Cuomo also touched on a theme of cooperation and pulling together when discussing the well-known economic needs of the counties and small towns of the Adirondack region. Ó For good times or bad times, nobody comes together like the people in this state,Ó Cuomo said. (Andy Flynn contributed to this story.)

denpubs@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE Ñ Gov. Andrew CuomoÕ s extended weekend in northern Hamilton County for the first-ever Adirondack Challenge Festival was fruitful for him and for the region. The governorÕ s team took away the two top whitewater rafting prizes Sunday and Monday, July 21 and 22, and the stateÕ s media was focused on the Adirondack Park the entire time, something Cuomo intended as a boost to local tourism. The governor was accompanied by a large contingent of politicians (state, county and local), executive aides, rafting professionals and press, all supported by a cadre of volunteers from Indian Lake. This all started with a mention by Cuomo in JanuaryÕ s State of the State address. As many had hoped, Indian Lake became the selected venue, being billed as the stateÕ s Ò Whitewater Capital.Ó For several weeks, the town of Indian Lake pulled together all its government and community resources in preparation for the event. This effort was driven by a number of motives, not the least of which was community pride and a desire to showcase the town to the visiting dignitaries, press and public in the best possible light, while enjoying the fruits of the eventÕ s ability to increase recognition and tourism within the town. A few saw the event as the Ò magic bulletÓ that would go a long way to solving many of the townÕ s perceived shortcomings, but most were more realistic and longer-term in their thinking. During his address at the July 21 award ceremony held at the Gore Mountain ski center in North Creek after the river run, Cuomo defined his objective. Ò I want to get the word out about the Adirondacks,Ó Cuomo said. Ò People just donÕ t know what we haveÉ all we have to do is show them … you can’t find this any where else on the globe.Ó And, the governor put his back into accomplishing this objective. The Ò raceÓ ran a mere 3-mile section of the Indian River and was not

Andrew Cuomo and his team begin their journey down the Indian River Monday, July 22 in their Adirondack Challenge race against New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s team. Team Cuomo won the races on July 21 and 22. The governor’s team included Gov. Cuomo, his daughters Cara and Michaela, Secretary to the Governor Larry Schwartz, and Deputy Secretary for Civil Rights Alphonso David. Photo by Nancy Frasier

expected to take much more than 25 minutes. All along the route, cameras were flashing and videos were recording the beauty of the scenery and the fun being had by all participants along the way. Footage of the area surrounding Indian Lake was taken from the air. It was a well-oiled publicity machine being focused on the whitewater and paddling opportunities that exist in this beautiful and pristine part of the Adirondack Region of New York state. On Monday morning, CBS Morning News was giving the event, the Adirondacks and the governor national broadcast coverage that included a mention of the town of Indian Lake. State Sen. Betty Little was very pleased with CuomoÕ s efforts. “I will be the first to admit that when I first heard of the idea, I thought that the governor was joking, but it was no joke,Ó Little said. Ò The governor follows through on what he says he will do.Ó Little went on to describe the governor as the

No. 1 fan of the Adirondacks. Ò He understands the need for help to turn the Adirondacks around,Ó Little said. Ò What do you think this level of publicity would cost? It just does not get any better than this.Ó Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Farber showed the governor around Indian Lake over the weekend, accompanying him to the Indian Lake Volunteer Fire Department barbecue on Saturday, July 20. During the award ceremony at Gore on July 21, Farber called for more Adirondack Challenges in the future with activities such as mountain biking and fishing. “We need to find more opportunities to link our counties together,Ó Farber said. Regarding a spirit of cooperation that leads to the success of the region and all its parts, Farber noted that the Adirondack Challenge was held in three counties: rafts launched in Indian Lake in Hamilton County, the rafts pulled out of the Indian River in Minerva in Essex County,

INDIAN LAKE Ñ At 11:56 a.m. Sunday, July 21 Ñ about one hour before the start of the whitewater races on the Indian River Ñ Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced the teams that would be participating in the 2013 Adirondack Challenge. Ò The Adirondack Challenge is designed to highlight all of what the Adirondacks region has to offer to New Yorkers and visitors Ñ and it is also a friendly competition on the beautiful Indian River,Ó Governor Cuomo said. Ò TodayÕ s events illustrate firsthand the natural wonders of the Adirondacks. Now, let the competition begin!Ó The governorÕ s own team included Gov. Cuomo, his daughters Cara and Michaela, Secretary to the Governor Larry Schwartz, and Deputy Secretary for Civil Rights Alphonso David. The Governor’s Team finished first, followed by the Senate in second place and the Assembly in third. In all, there were 25 teams competing on July 21. Each team of six was guided by a New York state licensed guide from companies in the Hudson River Professional Outfitters Association. The GovernorÕ s Team was guided by Bone Bayse, of Beaver Brook Outfitters, on July 21 and on July 22 when they raced against New York City Mayor Michael BloombergÕ s Team. Team Cuomo beat Team Bloomberg by 18 seconds.

Boat inspection from page 1

the commission for taking this valiant step.Ó For two years, environmentalists and area government leaders have warned that if a mandatory inspection program and boat washing program werenÕ t established, Lake George would become increasingly infested with fast-multiplying invasive mollusks and lakeweeds that would foul the waters and detract from recreation Ñ as has occurred in other waterways around the nation. Specifics of the draft legislation are to be posted on the commissionÕ s website on Wednesday July 23. The commissionÕ s decision for mandatory inspection next goes to a series of two public hearings this fall, then to Gov. Cuomo for the ultimate decision. CuomoÕ s approval of the regulations is anticipated later this fall, local leaders said. Wick said that members of his agency was already discussing details of implementation and funding with the governor’s office. Ò WeÕ re going to go forward with all our resources to put the regulations into place,Ó Wick said. After-hours access to the lake and funding the annual program cost Ñ estimated at $700,000 Ñ are still to be determined, he said. State Department of Environmental Conservation officials — balking last year on a mandated inspection program because they were wary of hindering sport-fishing and boat traffic — will be weighing in on how the program is to be implemented. Wick predicted cooperation from DEC this time around, however. Ò WeÕ ll be working with DEC hand-in-hand,Ó Wick said. Local leaders said such collaboration was likely, considering

Adirondack Journal - 11

that DEC Region 5 Director Robert Stegemann serves on the Commission and he voted for the program. The S.A.V.E. Lake George Partnership, consisting of local governments and environmental groups, has offered to contribute half the cost of the program, Wick said. At TuesdayÕ s commission meeting, Dickinson spoke on behalf of the partnership Ñ he presented a document to the commissioners, calling for the program to include effective ways of making sure boats were clean before they were launched after hours, if such a practice was to be permitted. The after-hours proposals include either extended hours at selected launch sites, gating off the launch sites, and/or installing video monitoring equipment to assure that regulations were being followed.

These are among the many specifics that need to be worked out, Wick said, adding that a program could be in place next year. A coalition of municipalities surrounding the lake has purchased three wash stations, and the town of Lake George is expecting to have one delivered soon, Bolton Town Supervisor Ron Conover said, noting that local government has already accomplished a lot to control invasives. He added that TuesdayÕ s decision culminated a lengthy process to get everyone, including sport-fishing groups, on board. “It’s been a fine regional effort that brought together diverse groups with opposing opinions, getting everyone focused on the lake. ItÕ s been a great team effort,Ó he said. Ò Today is a great day for Lake George.Ó
