3 county roads endorsed for repairs

This Week IN WARRENSBURG

Jamboree was loads of fun

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com Q U E E N S B U RY Ñ F a c e d with reports of dozens of deteriorating roadways, Warren County leaders have endorsed a plan to repair short stretches of the three roads that present the most urgent threat to public safety. Warren County supervisors on the county Public Works Committee voted July 29 to re-pave portions of Olmstedville Road in Chester, Hadley Road in Stony Creek, and Harrington Hill in Warrensburg. The road repair approval was prompted by the county having $136,000 left over after completing about $1.38 million in road repair projects so far this year. For years, county supervisors have cut millions of dollars from the funds allocated for highway resurfacing in order to balance their annual budget, although county Public Works Superintendent Jeff Tennyson has warned them that postponing paving projects leads to far greater future expenses to tackle comprehensive road reconstruction.

Lumberjack events in Stony Creek By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com STONY CREEK Ñ A small town tucked away in the Southern Adirondacks is hosting a festival this weekend that annually celebrates its rural traditions Ñ and this year goes several steps further. Stony Creek, population of 767, is holding its annual Mountain Festival from Friday Aug. 2 through Sunday Aug. 4.

Headlining the fest is the lumberjack competition beginning at 11 a.m. on Sunday with both men and women chopping timber and sawing wood with crosscut, chain and bow saws, as well as throwing axes at targets. These competitions, a sanctioned showdown sponsored by the New York State Lumberjacks Association, are an annual crowd favorite, featuring both local competitors and seasoned competitors from around the state.

Auction, rock music, fireworks ignite Jamboree By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ Rousing rock music, lively auction bidding, cold beer, an extravagant fireworks display and lots to do for family members was the recipe for success at the 51st edition of Smoke EatersÕ Jamboree last weekend. A robust crowd enjoyed the action at the Jamboree, a carnival-like event thatÕ s been considered a highlight of summer for generations of Adirondackers. The event, the primary annual fundraiser for the Warrensburg Volunteer Fire Co., was held July 26 and July 27 Ñ and a larger crowd turned out for both nights, compared to 2012. Besides the JamboreeÕ s hot band the AudioStars, headlining the event this year was the auction of new and used goods and services on

Friday evening Ñ with Jim Galusha of Thurman serving as auctioneer, as he has for more than three decades. Whether it was a stay at a local Bed & Breakfast, a dinner for two at a local restaurant or a vintage 45 record player, bidding action was substantial, Fire Co. President Kevin Geraghty said. Ò People were generous Ñ A lot of the businesses’ certificates for services went for face value,Ó he said, noting that 125 businesses and dozens of people donated toward the auction. Ò The support each year is unbelievable!Ó

Hiram’s bicycle sparks interest

One of the notable items up for auction was the bright yellow vintage Atlas one-speed bicycle used daily by Hiram Kennedy for over a generation to deliver the daily newspaper in Warrensburg. Complete with a foot-deep wire basket at-

tached to the handlebars, bulbous tires, flared fenders and lots of rust, this artifact of recent Warrensburg history commanded attention. Ò This should have gone to the Warrensburg Museum,” firefighter Rob Nelson said as he brushed dust off its wide saddle. Tony Trapasso took a look at the bicycle that may have carried well over half a million newspapers during its life. Ò HiramÕ s the only person that could have ever pumped that bike up Horicon Hill full of newspapers Ñ through snow Ñ without standing up,Ó Trapasso said. Barron Dingman, manager for Warrensburg Car Care body shop, bought the venerable bicycle. He remarked to firefighters he sought to restore it and hang it up on the shopÕ s wall. Other notable items up for bid were a windsurfing board and trailer, an exhaust pipe for a Ford F350 pickup, a television that had a hole punched into its case, a lightweight walker, a bait bucket, and a small chipper-shedder that might choke on twigs. One true treasure up for bid was undoubtedly a box of recipes Ñ perhaps half a centuryÕ s worth Ñ from Hilda Perry of Summit St. As Galusha started the bidding, he gazed over the crowd. Ò DonÕ t believe a word of what we tell you about this stuff,Ó he warned the bidders. Ò You know the drill, if youÕ re the high bid, you take it home and love it Ñ as is!Ó Bidders were generous as they vied for cat litter, bidding six bags up to $25, or for a wellused 25cc weed whacker, going for $125. The public wasnÕ t so generous with an decades-old electric organ console. Firefighter

Matthew Oliver played a quick melody on the organ to try to entice bidders, but was unsuccessful, as it went for the opening bid of $5. One of the highest bids was for a half-dozen pallets of architectural stone donated by Champlain Stone, bid up to nearly $800. SaturdayÕ s edition of the Jamboree featured buoyant music by The AudioStars. The popular party band inspired dozens to crowd in front of the bandstand and dance for hours. A fireworks show provided visual entertainment for no less than 25 minutes. The townÕ s bicentennial this year was recognized in a ground display of fireworks — spelling “Happy 200th” set ablaze right before the grand finale of the aerial show. The crowdÕ s enthusiasm for the band prompted them to extend the festivities well past traditional closing time. The AudioStars played an extra set and two encores after the fireworks, Geraghty said. Ò People really enjoyed themselves,Ó he said, noting that the midway and rides had more participants than in 2012. Contributing toward the fireworks display were a dozen enterprises: Alexander Funeral Home, Braley & Noxon Hardware, Camp Echo Lake, Glens Falls National Bank, Jacobs & Toney Meat Store, McDonaldÕ s of Warrensburg, OscarÕ s Smoke House, Tops supermarket, Warrensburg Car Care, the local chamber of commerce, and Warren Ford & Mercury, in addition to the town of Warrensburg. “The fire company thanks the area businesses, who are loyal in their support,Ó Geraghty said.

Runners get ready to Race the Train Aug. 3 Benefits Johnsburg Dollars for Scholars program, students By McKenna Kelly

newsenterprise@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK Ñ The 11th annual Race the Train event will take place on Saturday, Aug. 3 at 8 a.m. As the Johnsburg Dollars for ScholarsÕ biggest fundraiser, race draws participants from all over the United Sates to North Creek for a competition that is truly one of a kind. Race the Train starts in Riparius and follows River Road to the Saratoga and North Creek Railway Station, an 8.4-mile trip. Participants try to best the train as it travels the same course. The first 75 people to cross the finish line receive medals to commemorate their achievement. Last year, the race celebrated its 10th anniversary, and participation was at a record high; 349 people competed, many with families that rode the train and cheered for their loved ones along run. There were also some other special changes to commemorate the event, such as the addition of water stations along the route with costumed attendants Ñ many of them Johnsburg students Ñ to cheer on the runners. This kind of support is part of what sets Race the Train apart from other racing events. The beauty of the track itself is also a huge draw. Ò ItÕ s a unique experience,Ó said participants Peter and Nicki

Wbg. citizens learn about local architecture By Paul Gilchrist

denpubs@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ More than 30 people participated in an architectural workshop and walking tour of Warrensburg on July 20. The event was presented by Adirondack Architectural Heritage (AARCH) and sponsored by the Warrensburgh Historical Society and Warrensburgh Beautification. Susan Arena of AARCH taught the morning session in the Senior Center, during which the group learned how to identify architectural styles and time periods. The afternoon session featured a walk through downtown, led by Arena. The tour took the group down Main Street past The Pillars, across to Elm St., and back up to the Warrensburg Senior Center. Participants viewed many architectural styles, such as Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Bungalow/Craftsman, Carpenter Gothic, Foursquare, Second Empire,

Italianate, Richardsonian, and various hybrids. Warrensburg has the largest area of designated historical district of any town in the Adirondacks, and it is listed on both the state and federal historic registers. The group also saw three properties exhibiting the revival of elm trees, which were historically important as an adjunct to architectural planning, as they provided much shade and framed the view of buildings Ñ while also forming beautiful archways over the streets. The modern elms are now disease-resistant. Warrensburg also has what is believed to be one of the 10 oldest and largest surviving elm trees in the nation. It is located in front of OscarÕ s Smoke House. After the conclusion of the scheduled tour, some members of the group continued up Hudson St. guided by Arena and local architectural expert Delbert Chambers. Many visited the Warrensburgh Museum of Local History afterward to see ChambersÕ architectural exhibit on display there.

Thurman to share its bookkeeper, split costs By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com ATHOL Ñ The town of Thurman will be sharing its bookkeeper through the rest of the year with the Village of Cambridge Ñ and Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Wood said this week this arrangement is expected to save local taxpayers about $9,000. Wood said that Cambridge officials, hearing of the expertise of Thurman bookkeeper Lester Losaw, had contacted her and asked if they could share his services with the town. She said they wanted Losaw to work part-time for them straightening out their municipal books in the wake of a 2009 state audit that cited problems. Wood discussed the proposal with Losaw and other town board members, then proposed it formally at a board meeting July 23, she said.

The arrangement calls for Losaw to work 20 hours per week for Thurman, and an equal number of hours for Cambridge Ñ from August through December. The municipalities will equally split the expense of the $13,686 salary he is to earn over that five months as well as his health insurance costs for that period. Tuesday July 23, the town board voted 3 to 2 in favor of the proposal. Voting for the temporary shared services were Wood, Al Vasak and Gail Seaman. Voting against the arrangement were Leon Galusha and Charlie Bills. Some citizens in town have been complaining since last year that too much was being spent on LosawÕ s salary, which is $32,848 per year. Town board members, however, have defended his pay, noting his experience and his accomplishments in straightening out Thurman’s finances since he was hired — and that a qualified municipal bookkeeper is not available for low pay.

Thurman citizens observe their town board (left) at work as they conduct a meeting earlier this year. Tuesday, July 23, the town board voted to share their bookkeeper with the Village of Cambridge — each municipality will have 20 hours per week of his services through December. Photo by Thom Randall

Wood said that if Cambridge officials seek to extend this sharing of services, or if another municipality asks for a similar arrangement with Losaw after this arrangement is concluded, the

board will be entertaining offers, depending on LosawÕ s work load. Ó This money-saving arrangement will be beneficial for everyone,” she said.

Legacy of John Apperson celebrated at Bolton gathering BOLTON LANDING Ñ This year marks 50 years since the passing of John S. Apperson, Jr., a celebrated Lake George conservationist. To honor his accomplishments, the Lake George Land Conservancy held a gathering July 21 hosted by Conservancy director Debbie Hoffman and her husband Bill at their Bolton Landing home where Apperson lived and conducted his work. Over 60 people joined together for the casual event. Guests walked around the property, which neighbored Bill and Kathleen HorneÕ s home Ñ known as The Annex Ñ and enjoyed the lakefront vistas. Ò To live on and cherish the land where such an important fa-

ther of Lake George strolled around contemplating and working out his next battle to passionately save the place he loved Ñ has a feeling like none other,Ó Debbie Hoffman said. Apperson was a notable force in land conservation efforts and public environmental awareness, particularly of Lake George and the greater Adirondacks. In 1939 Apperson bought the iconic Dome Island to prevent potential development. The island is yet today off-limits to the public and serves as an important site for ecological studies. The gathering was a dual celebration of Apperson and the ConservancyÕ s 25th anniversary. Founded in 1988, the agencyÕ s efforts to protect the Lake George watershed carry on the work

initiated by early conservationists like Apperson. The Conservancy now honors those who have made substantial contributions toward land conservation by naming them to their Ò Apperson Society.Ó The gathering featured an overview of Conservancy history and current challenges, presented by LGLC Executive Director Nancy Williams. Ò We have never seen so many large parcels of land that have such a huge impact on conservation on the market at the same time,Ó Williams said, noting that her agency was in the process of creating neighborhood committees to discuss the future of these parcels. AppersonÕ s great-niece and historian Ellen Apperson Brown also spoke to the group about John AppersonÕ s life. Guests viewed pictures of the conservationist as well as a collection of Apperson memorabilia provided by the Hornes. BrownÕ s historical materials are available at the Lake George Historical SocietyÕ s Museum. For details about the Conservancy, its activities and the life of John Apperson, see: www.lglc.org, call 644-9673, or visit the agency at 4905 Lake Shore Drive, Bolton Landing.

Opinion Adirondack Journal Editorial

The best $72,000 we’ll ever spend

very public school in every state should employ at least one school resource officer — and that position should be funded by the federal government. It is time we put as much effort into protecting our kids as we do our politicians and airports. And it is time that politicians stop using school shootings to further political agendas like gun control instead of formulating a meaningful plan that might actually stop some of these instances from happening altogether. The answer should begin with a police presence in our schools. Following the Dec. 14, 2012 elementary school shootings in Sandy Hook, Conn. that killed 20 children and six adults, parents of the Ticonderoga school district asked for just that — a full-time police officer assigned to the district. Unfortunately, the Ticonderoga Police Department simply does not have the manpower to fulfill that request. At times, there is only one officer on duty, and having that officer patrolling only the school would not serve the needs of the community as a whole. To the departmentÕ s credit, they have agreed to increase patrols at the districtÕ s three schools and will be there during morning arrival and afternoon dismissal. ThatÕ s a start, as are security upgrades made by area schools such as locating cameras throughout buildings, locking doors and requiring identification to enter during school hours. But is it enough? The answer, is no. We pour billions of dollars every year into homeland security. We place full-body scanners at our airports. We surround our elected officials with nearly impenetrable systems and security details costing taxpayers millions. And yet we canÕ t afford to protect our kids at school? Why should it be so difficult to protect our nationÕ s most precious and vulnerable people Ñ our children? Ti PD Chief Mark Johns has the right idea. He suggested a full-time school resource officer be hired and assigned to the school. The officer, Johns said, could serve several purposes, including security for the school as well as keeping a trained professional available in the event of an emergency. “And school resource officers often build a rapport with young people,Ó he said. Ò That makes it easier for them to approach police when they have a problem or concern. That can

also help police with investigations.Ó The hurdle? It would cost $72,000 a year to add a school resource officer. Johns searched for grant money but came up empty-handed. WeÕ re going to go out on a limb here and say the state spent more than $72,000 taxying Gov. Cuomo around in a state police helicopter two weeks ago so he could win his own rafting festival in Indian Lake. Add to that what taxpayers shelled out to protect him while he was here Ñ he had a security detail and entourage Ñ and you could probably pay the salary of a public resource officer for years to come with that kind of money. ItÕ s about priorities, plain and simple. Or should we say lack thereof, and our school kids are getting the short end of the security stick. It is time to put an end to that. If the Obama Administration and our federal lawmakers really want to make a meaningful impact on decreasing the number or severity of school shootings, they should put their money where their mouths are and fund full-time resource officers for every public school in the nation. Do we want shootouts in our schools? Of course not. But these would be professional officers patrolling our hallways, trained to use lethal force only as a last resort when the lives of children are at stake. It could operate much like the Federal Air Marshal Service. The consequence of improperly discharging a firearm on a plane would undoubtedly be a major tragedy Ñ and yet the air marshals, because of their training and equipment, have an impeccable record. We feel properly trained and equipped school marshals could serve in a similar capacity. At the same time, they would be a deterrent to crime, just as air marshals are in our skies. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that bad guys with a gun are more apt to commit a crime where they arenÕ t going to encounter a good guy with a gun. And, letÕ s be honest. WeÕ re never going to have total control of all firearms in this nation, and weÕ re not going to cure every mentally ill individual with a penchant for killing. There is always going to be evil in this world. We spend an incredible amount of money attempting to keep that evil from our airports, train stations, government centers and other places of public assembly. It is time we do the same for our schools. Ñ

Warren County Public Works Superintendent Jeff Tennyson (right) warns Warren County supervisors Monday, July 29 about how dozens of roadways throughout Warren County need repair due to potholes and rutted pavement. He and others have voiced warnings for years about deteriorating roads, while municipal leaders have slashed highway repair appropriations in order to balance their budgets. For the first time in many years, the state legislature has budgeted a substantial increase in aid to local municipalities for road and infrastructure repair. Municipal engineers have said that the state’s roadways, due to recent years’ budget cuts, have been deteriorating at an ever-faster rate and may require massive amounts of taxpayer money to restore them to historic standards. County supervisors voted Monday to have three short stretches of roadway resurfaced, leaving dozens of more recommended highway resurfacing projects left to tackle in the future.

Turning Back the Pages By Jean Hadden

•100 years ago - August, 1913• Riverside Hotel incinerated

Herbert F. StanleyÕ s hotel at Riverside was destroyed by fire July 27, 1913, together with most of its contents, entailing a loss of $10,000 which only $1,000 was covered by insurance. It was owned and conducted by Mr. Stanley who is also proprietor of a general store and a bottling house at Riverside. The fire was discovered about 3 o’clock in the ice house at the rear of the hotel. It spread with amazing rapidity and the rear walls of the hotel were soon ablaze. About 50 men, many of whom were guests, attempted to check the progress of the flames but their efforts were to no avail. All hope of saving the building was soon abandoned and it was left to its fate while the firefighters directed their efforts to saving the Delaware & Hudson companyÕ s station, a wooden building near by. This was covered with wet blankets and constantly deluged with water until the blaze in the hotel had died down and the danger had passed. When the fire was at its height, George Parsons of Glens Falls had his hand cut by falling glass and J. Brady’s coat caught fire from the intense heat but the prompt action of his companions saved him from serious burns. The Riverside Hotel, as it has been known for several years, was a long wooden three-story structure. It was conducted for a long time by Luke Martin and had long been a popular resort among summer visitors. At the time of the fire it was filled to capacity.

Man conduct lands him in jail

William DingmanÕ s wife had him arrested Aug. 13, 1913 and hauled before Justice Hodgson on a charge of disorderly conduct. He was given 30 days in the county jail. In the meantime, Mrs. Dingman will care for her seven children without the very little help that Bill gives her.

County centennial celebration

The Warren County Centennial celebration opened in Warrensburgh on Sunday, Aug. 3, 1013 with a union service at the Methodist Episcopal Church with pastors and people of the Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian churches participating. The church was tastefully decorated with the national colors and with its brilliant lights and handsome fittings presented a beautiful sight. Lewisville is not behind other parts of the village in decoration for the Centennial. Many of the residences and business places are very tastefully trimmed with flags and bunting. (Note: Ò LewisvilleÓ was the name for the area of town on River St. extending from the Osborne Bridge to the Woolen Mill Bridge at Milton Avenue.) In other news, a large crowd was present at the Historical Day exercises in Johnsburgh on Aug. 5, 1913 when a marker was erected in the center of the village.

Immigrant achieves success

In the mid 1800Õ s, Dennis McCarthy, an Irish immigrant, came to this area as a child and settled in Warrensburgh where he learned the tanning business. He was a tanner who eventually turned to the shirt business and shipped his merchandise to New York city and made good. He left Warrensburgh in 1888 to go to Glens Falls and built two shirt factories there and one in Ballston Spa as well as several lumber mills under the title of McCarthy and Barnett Lumber. McCarthy has four children, a son, Joseph and three daughters and he built a big house for himself and also one for each of his children on Goodwin Avenue, Glens Falls. Now, in 1913, McCarthy is known as an immigrant, once in the tanning trade, who is currently a successful man with three shirt factories, a family, a large house, a stable for his horses and a car. By hard work and perseverance he truly achieved the American dream. (Note: On July 5, 1907, McCarthy was crossing the state road near Bloody Pond when he

Suzie Baker’s memory to be honored

Thurman Emergency Medical Services will be holding a chicken & biscuit dinner with a basket raffle on Saturday Aug. 24 at the squad building, located at 572 High St. This event is in memory of Suzie Baker, who was committed to community service. She was a very active, loyal member and treasurer of the ambulance squad. In addition, she conducted the local Christmas memory tree effort from 2005 through 2009. Suzie launched the Mommy and Me Club which for years provided fun activities for local youngsters and their mothers. Also, she was a board member of the Thurman Youth Commission and in her role with the panel, she initiated the trips to the YMCA and ski program for the youth. Suzie also served as Deputy Town Secretary some years back. The ambulance squadÕ s memorial dinner not only features chicken and biscuits, but also tossed salad, corn and ice cream sundaes for dessert. The cost is only $7 for adults, $3 for children 5 to 10 years old and free for those under 5. Take-outs will be available; and to accommodate those with mobility issues, free delivery is offered for the elderly. For details or to arrange delivery, call Becky at 623-4254 or Sally at 623-4730.

Events and activities in the hills

The Gleaning food distribution, held at 1 p.m. on the first Monday of every month, next falls on Aug. 5 this month. Be sure to bring reusable cloth bags or your old shopping bags to bring your goods home. The Thurman Quilting Group holds their meetings every Monday from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the town hall. Bring your knitting, sewing, or quilting projects and make some new friends. For details, contact Myra at 623-2633. The Thurman Fire Company holds their meetings on the Friday of the first full week of the month at the Thurman firehouse in Athol. Their next meeting is Aug. 9 at 7 p.m. Those interested in becoming a volunteer, stop in and ask how you can help. The county-sponsored bus service to Glens Falls runs on the second and fourth Friday of every month. It will run Friday, Aug. 9 and is free to seniors age 60 and over. ItÕ s said to offer a delightful time and a great way to catch up with neighbors. To go should call Laura by Wednesday, Aug. 7 at 623-9281.

was struck and ran over by a touring car and nearly killed. Although badly injured, he survived.)

Hotel man dead

Edgar Wetmore, 83, proprietor of the Grove House at East Lake George, died Aug. 12, 1913 at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W.R. Root, 42 Grant Avenue, Glens Falls. He was well known throughout New York state as one of the best of the hotel men. Death followed a stroke of apoplexy. He had attended the Centennial celebration in the city and it is believed that the excitement was too great for him. (Note: I was startled when I read about Mr. WetmoreÕ s former home at 42 Grant Avenue, Glens Falls as in 1958 I lived in that house.)

Forest fires raging

The dry weather of the last few weeks has allowed numerous forest fires to gain headway at various points throughout the Adirondacks and extensive areas are being burned over, A big fire on Orlando Bryant’s property on Harrington Hill and another near the Viele Pond have kept Fire Patrolman Robert Cunningham and a large force of men busy for two days. Both are now under control. A fire on CraneÕ s Mountain, believed to be of incendiary origin, has burned over 300 acres and is still raging.

News roundabout

Work on the Panama Canal is progressing nicely and plans are being made for its opening next year. The Schroon River in Warrensburgh is little more than a big brook, the water having fallen lower than any dry period of previous years. The reservoir is nearly exhausted and unless the protracted drought is broken soon there will surely be a water famine. It has been very cold and dry and crops need rain badly. We are very fearful of an August frost and if we do get one the seasonÕ s crops will be pretty close to a failure. An earthquake shock was felt in Johnsburgh at 11:30 oÕ clock Saturday night, Aug. 9. 1913,

Clothing helps families of modest means

The 2013-2014 School year is fast approaching and as families clean out our childrenÕ s dressers and closets, they are encouraged to remember those who are less fortunate. Donating gently used clothing to an agency such as North Country Ministry, with its outreach center on Main Street in Warrensburg, is a wonderful way to help a youngster who would otherwise have nothing new to wear, start their year off right. The Salvation Army Community Center, located at 13 Chester St. in Glens Falls is now accepting applications by phone for their Shoes for Kids program. This program gives out vouchers for a pair of shoes for income-eligible families. To determine if your family qualifies, call the Salvation Army at 792-1960 to schedule an appointment. Another enterprise helping families prepare their children for the new school year is Warren-Hamilton Community Action Agency. This entity helps students with basic needs such as, notebooks, pencils and pens, crayons, glue sticks and a backpack. To request an application, call them at 793-0636.

NBA star ‘Jimmer Fredette’ coming to L.G.

LAKE GEORGE Ð NBA star Jimmer Fredette is scheduled to make an appearance 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Village Blacksmith Steakhouse at Fort William Henry on Wednesday, August 7.

rattling stoves and dishes at a great rate. The report sounded like thunder. It is estimated that there are more than 1,000 power boats on Lake George this summer. The town has finished a reinforced concrete bridge in Knowelhurst that is the best bridge ever built across Stony Creek. A large crowd enjoyed the stage presentation of Ò The Texas Cattle King,Ó on the night of July 26, 1913, at Remington Hall in Chestertown. George Putnam of Johnsburgh Corners has purchased a fine carriage of the auto style with electric lights. J. Noble Armstrong recently took a load of 3,000 pounds of wool to the Warrensburgh Woolen Mill in Warrensburgh. A son was born Monday, July 28, 1913 to Mrs. Edson Pelletier of North Thurman. A big 9-pound boy arrived at the home of John Patrick at Trout Lake, Bolton. The Pines boarding house in Warrensburgh is full to capacity with jolly summer guests. (Note: This house is today on the north corner of Hudson St. and 4th Avenue.) Quite a number of children in Sodom are experiencing the whooping cough. Harry Wadsworth and Kenneth Morehouse are having a hard time of it. They have been coughing for about for weeks now and are getting as poor as little crows.

Origin of Schroon River’s name

The name Schroon, as we call the East River, is a corruption of another name. Some French officers of the garrison at Crown Point in exploring came to Schroon Lake and named it in honor of a French poet, Paul Scarron, who died in 1660 in Paris. Now this Scarron was the first husband of Madame de Maintenon, (Francoise dÕ Aubigne) who was the wife of French King Louis XIV. This woman was the governess of the kingÕ s children and afterwards he married her. Legend has it that the young French officer who named Schroon Lake was in love with Francoise.

Washout idles trains over holiday; new rail events set By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK Ñ Passenger service on the Saratoga-North Creek railroad was suspended for five days over the Fourth of July holiday weekend due to a rail-bed washout, a railway official told county leaders Monday July 29. The service interruption from July 3 through July 8 was caused by flash flooding which washed out gravel underneath rail ties over an 850-feet stretch of the rail bed in the town of Greenfield, railway superintendent Justin Gonyo said. Substantial lengths of railway shoulders were also eroded, he said. Over 100 feet of the damaged stretch of rail bed, the track sunk 3 inches, which prohibited Saratoga-North Creek Railway from running trains at speeds greater than 10 miles per hour, he said. Due to the repairs necessary to restore full service, the railway suspended its daily runs, he added. Reconstructing the rail bed required laying down 600 tons of stone under the ties. Gonyo said the cost of repairs was $34,079, plus an additional $7,929 in operational losses from the shutdown. The contract between Warren County which owns the track and the railroad operators call for the railway to pay for repairs costing less than $50,000. Repairs exceeding that sum to be negotiated between the county and the railway. Gonyo said the washout was caused by a heavy rain sweeping brush, debris and limbs into a storm culvert Ñ blocking it up Ñ which caused water to back up and erode the rail bed. During the passenger service suspension, the railway continued to carry freight. Gonyo noted that the railway is now negotiating to transport as much as 500,000 tons of stone next summer from Tahawus to Troy. Plans also call for the enterprise to move 1,000 tons of Ò rip-rapÓ stones off the Barton Mines property. He also said that a meeting was scheduled this week between Saratoga-North Creek Railway management and Canadian-Pacific executives to negotiate fright transportation. Ò WeÕ re going into this very hopeful,Ó he said.

RR special events approaching

featuring the historic Leviathan steam-engine locomotive were now being planned for one weekend Ñ Saturday Sept. 14 and Sunday Sept. 15 Ñ rather than two. The similar Leviathan trips once scheduled for the prior weekend were cancelled due to problems in getting the locomotive to upstate New York, he said. The Leviathan excursions feature an 82-mile round trip from Corinth to North Creek, complimentary beverages and snacks on train, a barbecue lunch in North Creek, and admission to the North Creek Depot Museum. The weekend of Sept. 14-15 is being celebrated in North Creek as the Teddy Roosevelt Weekend, including Joe Wiegand impersonating the 26th U.S. president, arts and trades demonstrations, tours, period musical entertainment, and Ò Rough RiderÓ pony rides. The two-day event also includes re-enactments of RooseveltÕ s famous boarding of the train at North Creek hours before he assumed the presidency. For details, see: www.SNCRR.com.

Anniversary of fort’s fall slated

LAKE GEORGE Ð The Fort William Henry Museum will commemorate the 256th anniversary of the surrender of Fort William Henry at the fort with a ceremony/re-enactment at noon Aug. 9 outside the fort. Fort William Henry was built by the British during the French and Indian War (1754-1763) as an outpost to secure its coloniesÕ northern border against the French. In 1757, French forces sieged the fort. After six days of fighting, the surrender occurred. After the garrison abandoned the fort and began their march to Fort Edward, the columns were attacked by the Native American allies of the French. Many were taken prisoner or lost their lives during the ensuing chaos. This event was the basis for James Fenimore CooperÕ s book, Ò The Last of the Mohicans.Ó During the commemoration, there will be a reading of the surrender terms, wreath laying ceremony at the grave of the unknowns and a musket volley salute. The staff of the FortÕ s museum and reenactors will participate. The event will take place on the lawn between the fort and the hotel which is near the location of the surrender in 1757. Fort William Henry Museum and Restoration is located at 48 Canada Street. For details, call 964-6626.

Reading club to feature frog jumping

BRANT LAKE Ñ The childrenÕ s summer reading clubs being held in the Horicon Library are continuing with their lineup of activities,

The sessions, featuring clubs for various ages, are held Thursday nights at 6:30 p.m. at the Horicon Library and its pavilion, Friends of Horicon Library president Sally Joiner said this week as she announced the contest.

Ò Many years it has been the tiniest frog that makes the three biggest leaps.Ó Prizes are awarded for the child with the best jumping frog Ñ in each of the three reading groups. In the final week, children participating in Bedtime Stories & Treats will hear books about turtles, those in We Dig it reading club will read several books on archeology, and Dave Iasovoli will conclude reading the book My Side of the Mountain.

Bluegrass festival to celebrate 10 years By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK Ñ Organizers of the Upper Hudson Bluegrass Festival will celebrate their 10th anniversary this year with 10 bands on Aug. 16-18 at the Ski Bowl Park. As with most bluegrass festivals, the bulk of the attendees will be camping at the event, and the Ski Bowl can accommodate up to about 220 sites. Last year, with the festival being scaled back to three days instead of four, fewer campers showed up, but coorganizer Lloyd Burch is optimistic more will find their way to North Creek and theyÕ ll have upwards of 180 campers this year. Festival board members will be looking for ways to add another day to next yearsÕ s schedule, which could entice more festivalgoers. For now, plans for the 10th anniversary celebration is well under way, and many bands are new to the Upper Hudson Bluegrass Festival. Past favorite Vern Young, who had originally signed up, wonÕ t be able to make it this year due to health issues. In his place will be the Seth Sawyer Band, of the Green Mountain State. Sawyer and his wife, Candi, organize the Jenny Brook Bluegrass Festival in Tunbridge, Vt. every June. The other bands will be: Audie Blaylock & Redline, Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road, the Spinney Brothers, Smokey Greene,

the Katahdin Valley Boys, HoneyGrass, Washington County Line, Beartracks, and Amy Gallatin & Stillwaters. Smokey Green, by the way, is the only performer to appear on the Upper Hudson Bluegrass Festival stage for all 10 years. Friday will feature an Ò open stageÓ set from 5:15 to 6 p.m. Performances will be held from noon to 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 16, 9 a.m. to 10:45 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 17, and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 18. In 2004, Joel Beaudin and Rusty Leigh founded the Upper Hudson Bluegrass Festival, according to Burch. Ò Joel was looking to sponsor an annual event for the community that would showcase the North Creek area while making enough income to support local individuals and organizations, through donations,Ó Burch said Ò Rusty Leigh had long traveled the bluegrass circuit, developing many connections and contacts with the entertainers and fans, dreaming that one day a bluegrass festival might find a home in his community.” Thus the Upper Hudson Bluegrass Festival was born. First they needed a location: the Ski Bowl Park. Then they needed a stage, so they hurried up and built one. “Some might remember that the stage for the fledgling first festival wasnÕ t quite complete,Ó Burch said. Ò A newly formed band, named Acoustic Blue, was performing that first evening when it started to rain. While the band performed, Joel and Rusty created a plastic shelter over the stage, saving the day.Ó Burch says much has changed in the past 10 years. The group

— Upper Hudson Festivals, Inc. — is now a 501-c-3 not-for-profit organization and gives back to the community and school. Organizers have continued to improve the stage, which normally lives at Riverfront Park and is used during other events throughout the year. The festival now has its own branding, with a logo, hats and T-shirts. And the board works with town leaders and state health officials to improve the Ski Bowl facilities. The festival include a selection of vendors for souvenirs and food. Sound will be provided by Green Mountain Music, Pete and Cora Bolster. Don Sprague will be returning as the emcee. The media sponsor is NCPR. And, best of all, people donÕ t have to camp in order to enjoy the festival. Day tickets are available: $25pp Friday, $30 Saturday and $15 Sunday. Also, itÕ s only $15pp each evening after 5 p.m. Kids 15 and under are free with a parent. Three-day tickets, purchased in advance, are $50pp before Aug. 9 or $60pp at the gate. Three-day tickets include camper parking, fresh water fill-up, and a “for extra fee” pump out Sunday from noon to 3 p.m. Please call for specific camper parking information. To purchase advance tickets, send a check and an SASE to Upper Hudson Festivals, Inc., P. O. Box 276, North Creek, NY, 12853.

stormwater in its expansive wetlands, but it will be hosting fitness trails, nature walkways and scenic overlooks. A 2.5-acre festival area is to include a large portable stage, a childrenÕ s adventure area, an interactive water fountain and a skateboard park as well as ecological parking. Perales smiled as he gazed over the wetlands, through which sewer runoff from state Rte. 9 will now flow — being filtered and purified by natural biological processes. Ò To protect Lake George Ñ one of the stateÕ s largest lakes and cleanest Ñ is very important not only to the local economy and environment, but to Gov. Cuomo, and to the state of New York,Ó he said. Perales praised the joint effort between the local municipalities, environmental groups and state government, noting that the engineered wetlands was a solution devised Ò through the creativity and determination of local citizens,Ó he said. Ò This is a fabulous project, and it represents what government should be doing,Ó he continued. Lake George Town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson offered his thoughts after listening to PeralesÕ words. Dickinson had grown up near the park land in the 1950s, when it had been a natural wetlands before being filled in with thousands of tons of dirt and developed into Gaslight Village, a site for a tavern, and a parking lot. Dickinson said it was a milestone to see the plot restored to a

natural state, so wetlands can again work as they did before the intrusion of man. Ò This may be a ceremonial event, but the implications are tremendous,Ó he said. Fund for Lake George Director Eric Siy also watched the ceremony. Ó This is another big step towards lasting protection of the lake we love,Ó he said. Ò ItÕ s also a clear example of collaboration at work.Ó State Assemblyman Dan Stec added similar thoughts. “This project was about bringing people together, finding common ground and working toward solutions,Ó he said. State Sen. Betty Little, who Perales said was Gov. CuomoÕ s Ò favorite senator,Ó praised the effort of curbing the stormwater pollution of southern Lake George, compounded by the construction of the I-87 Northway in the 1960s. Ò The whole area economy is fueled by Lake George, and keep-

ing the lake clean forever and ever is our goal,Ó she said. Ò This is something future generations are going to benefit from.” Mayor Blais welcomed Perales and praised the role of the state Department of State for their $1.2 million investment in the park development project. Ò The lake is our economic engine and it puts passion in our hearts,Ó he said. Ò This is another important, great day for Lake George Ñ and the entire region.Ó After a quick tour of the upper wetlands in the park, Perales was transported via trolley to Bolton Landing, where he reviewed BoltonÕ s relatively new $1.1 million town pier, with nearby rain gardens and restrooms. The Department of State contributed $495,000 toward developing these facilities, Bolton Supervisor Ron Conover said. Ò The pier put the Ô LandingÕ back in Ô Bolton Landing,Õ Ó he said, thanking Perales for his agencyÕ s investment.

the town park, where most all the weekendÕ s events are to occur. On Saturday, the Mountain Fest hits its stride, with its lineup of vendors, crafters, mountain music, educational expos and entertainment. Most events and activities continue on Sunday. The festival starts at 11 a.m. both days. Activities for youth include tie-dyeing, various games, a bounce house, nature sessions and face painting, offered Saturday and Sunday. Free snow cones and cotton candy will be available for children. Those that want to tie-dye a T-shirt are urged to bring one with them. On Saturday, Nancy Kimball will offer her Birds of Prey presentation at noon and 12:30 p.m. On Sunday, naturalist Dean Davis will be replacing Kimball in the lineup, as he presents his reptile show. SaturdayÕ s lineup includes Luisa Sherman presenting Colonial cooking demonstrations, and town resident Joe McChensey, an artist, displaying his original paintings depicting local scenes. Lisa Bartow will be bringing various animals from her farm, and both days, naturalist Dean Moore will be helping children find creatures in the creek nearby. One prominent feature on Saturday, held in observance of Warren CountyÕ s bicentennial, is the Stony Creek Timeline. This consists of a lineup of local people re-enacting prominent Stony Creek residents who were pivotal in the townÕ s history Ñ including homesteader and tanner John P. Bowman and Brooklyn Dodger pitcher George Bell, who operated BellÕ s Hunting Lodge on Harrisburg Road following his outstanding baseball career. Event official Ronda Thomas said that specific characters will be making presentations at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Ò Walk the living-history timeline and hear the characters tell their story,Ó she said. Both Saturday and Sunday, the festival hosts an encampment of Viking re-enactors, demonstrating their ancient cultureÕ s customs, including cooking, crafts, weaponry, music, and blacksmithing. Entertainment on Saturday features the Stillhouse Rounders, playing their old-time rural string music through daytime hours. Following at 7:30 p.m. is Big Medicine, a band that plays rhythm & blues, folk and rock. If the festivities werenÕ t enough to draw a crowd, the accompanying Townwide Garage Sale is also attracting hundreds more. Dozens of households are opening up their barns and garages allowing people to browse for bargains. Saturday, a scavenger hunt will be conducted, and shoppers can pick up letters at garage sale sites listed on the Chamber of CommerceÕ s sale map. If they visit all those designated, they can spell a secret phrase, turn it in at the Chamber booth and be entered in a prize drawing. Thomas said that the array of attractions and activities was being offered in part because the 2013 festival was celebrating its 10th anniversary as well as two other milestones: the countyÕ s bicentennial and the 50th anniversary of the Stony Creek Chamber of Commerce. Ò Through the weekend, weÕ ve got something for everybody,Ó she said.

Wayne is slowly recovering thanks to all the people who donated to

his cause. As a way of giving back to the community, Wayne started the North Country Hardship Fund to raise money for others who have suffered tragedies, such as a fire or a major illness. The small grants are designed to help people until bigger help arrives. The North Country Hardship Fund raises money through donations and benefits, such as Wayne Stock, and serves five counties: Warren, Essex, Hamilton, Washington and Saratoga. The North Country Hardship Fund has given out $64,000 to families in need since 2010. Wayne Stock alone brought in about $32,000 just last year, and this will be the eventÕ s sixth year. For more information, contact the Bukovinskys at 251-4122. Also visit the North Country Hardship fund online via their website, www.northcountryhardshipfund.org, or on their Facebook group.

Staycations a family tradition in the Adirondacks By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com

inances are tight, and we canÕ t afford to go away for vacation this summer. Now what? IÕ m sure there are many who are saying the same thing this year. ItÕ s frustrating, especially when youÕ re ready to take off and explore some unfamiliar territory. But instead of crying about it Ñ or worse, working through the vacation Ñ my wife and I will probably just argue about it. Wife: What do you want to do? Husband: I donÕ t know. What do you want to do? Wife: I asked you first. Husband: Let me think about it. (Two hours later) Wife: So, what do you want to do? Husband: I donÕ t know. What do you want to do? Wife: You said you would think about it. Husband: I did. Wife: So, what do you want to do? Husband: I donÕ t know. What is there to do? (Two days later, weÕ re still arguing.) Then I say, Ò LetÕ s go to Lake Placid.Ó ThereÕ s no brilliance in this idea; I drive through Lake Placid every day on my way to

work. But I had to say something. After a heaving sigh and a roll of my wifeÕ s eyes, weÕ re talking about Ò going south,Ó which for us is North Creek, Lake George or Ticonderoga. A day trip. Sometimes we talk about going north, which for us is Plattsburgh, but IÕ m not a big Plattsburgh fan. All she wants to do is shop, which I hate doing. And itÕ s not like we have any money, so Plattsburgh days are filled with walking around stores looking at stuff we canÕ t afford. ThatÕ s why I like to get away. But the main challenge for us Ñ aside from the funding — is to find a day trip no more than eight hours from our home in Saranac Lake (we can’t always find a dog sitter). It’s a three-hour round-trip to North Creek or Ticonderoga, a little more than that for Lake George. ItÕ s an hour to Blue Mountain Lake, a little more than that for Indian Lake. So that gives us a maximum of five hours to explore a territory in the central or southeastern Adirondacks. Another challenge is to find activities that fit our capabilities and tastes equally. And then we have to find places we’ve never seen before, which can be difficult in the Adirondacks but certainly not impossible. In this issue, weÕ ve listed a number of places to see and things to do for families in a similar situation. WeÕ ll be looking at it closely. Happy staycation!

Road repairs from page 1

The need to cut the county budget, however, prevailed in recent years due to the financial stresses prompted by the recession and the stateÕ s municipal tax cap. Tennyson reminded the supervisors July 29 of the ever-present need for county highway resurfacing. “I could fill four pages with road projects,” he said, after presenting a list one-third page long of 13 roadways that needed repaving. They included Valentine Pond Road in Horicon, River St. in Warrensburg, Harrisburg Road in Stony Creek, New Hague Road in Hague, Horicon Ave. in Bolton, Pilot Knob Road in Lake George, East River Drive in Lake Luzerne, South Johnsburg Road in Thurman and Garnet Lake Road in Johnsburg. He said the 13 roads listed were Ò just a samplingÓ of what needed to be done. County Deputy Public Works Superintendent Kevin Hajos noted that ruts and potholes on some stretches of roadway in the county could cause motorcyclists to veer off the pavement. Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Wood responded by urging that the three roadways that were in the worst shape to be repaired as soon as possible. Her motion was approved unanimously by the

www.adirondackjournal.com committee. Their vote is subject to approval Aug. 17 by the full board of supervisors. The stretch of the Olmstedville Road to be paved is about a half-mile long on the S-turns; the portion of Hadley Road to be

August 3, 2013 resurfaced is a one-third mile segment just outside the Stony Creek hamlet, and the stretch of Harrington Hill Road slated for repair is a mile long at the top of the hill.

Potholes and rutted pavement on county highways throughout Warren County have concerned highway officials for years, while municipal leaders have slashed highway repair appropriations in order to balance their budgets. For the first time in many years, the state legislature has budgeted a substantial increase in aid to local municipalities for road and infrastructure repair. Photo by Thom Randall

Adirondack Made logs ready for the mill! Photo by Rich Redman

American made organic heat

o matter where you live, the saying seems to be, Ò wait a minute and the weather will change.Ó From the west coast to the eastern Adirondacks, they all say it! The 90 degree steamy days seem to be over, and fall is slowing working its way to our region. It wonÕ t be very long before the winds of winter blow, the temperature will be below zero and we will have something new to complain about. Too hot, too cold; it doesnÕ t matter. Someone will complain. ItÕ s human nature to complain about natureÕ s way. I look forward to winter. ItÕ s a time to slow down and enjoy a stack of good books and enjoy By Rich Redman the warmth of a wood stove burning and churning out BTUÕ s to heat the house. Reading during the summer when thereÕ s work to do, is something I just canÕ t do. ThereÕ s always something to do, like cutting, hauling and stacking firewood during the long summer days. It may be warm today, but you really need to be thinking about getting a load or two of fire wood delivered to your door for tomorrow. Yes, wood is locally produced, organic, renewable and sustainable heat that is in tune with nature. There is nothing like walking into the house after a cold day out in the woods. The hot dry air warms like no other heat. Fire wood from local trees is a renewable resource fuel that when burned, releases carbon monoxide. However, when a tree is cut, new growth starts from the area where the old tree stood and shaded the ground. Through the process of photosynthesis, carbon is then taken back out of the atmosphere, and utilized by the growing trees. There is a natural balance between what is released and what is stored if a woodlot stays a woodlot. Flipping a switch and letting the oil burner make my heat is not what I like for many reasons. One of which is, that stored carbon burned as oil, that was made eons ago is released and the balance of stored carbon versus released, is broken. When we burn fuel oil and gas along with a list of other things that release carbon we are releasing more carbon than we store, and that is where the problem is. Secondly, when we have acres and acres of unmanaged woodlands around us and we heat with oil produced in some foreign nation, well that really doesnÕ t make much sense to me. We transport oil from a country 1,000 miles away to heat our homes when all we have to do is look out the window and see thousands of acres of potential fuel if managed properly. Not only would we get fuel, we can create wildlife habitat, have managed sugar bushes, and other fruit and nut tree crops. I support the oil companies enough when I fill my car and truck with gas. I really donÕ t want to spend all my money on foreign fuel when I can spend it on Adirondack, organic, locally grown heat. With the proper woodstove and chimney setup, you can enjoy wood heat in your house and know that you are supporting locally grown fuels and businesses. Whether you get cord wood delivered or have a wood pellet stove, you are spending your hard earned money locally. That is important in keeping an Adirondack community alive. Far too many small businesses have left or gone out of business because of the lack of community support. Many Adirondack communities are based on agriculture and forestland ownership. Keeping them profitable helps keep communities thriving. We have far too many empty store fronts and vacant buildings in our area. ItÕ s easy to blame Walmart or some other box store, but it all boils down to the consumer. You make the final decision where to buy. I am not opposed to Ò wally worldÓ or McDonaldÕ s, or any other business trying to make a living. I shop at some of these places but I also try to buy from farmers markets, local fire wood suppliers and local lumber yards. Our society is leaning toward locally produced vegetables and grass-fed meats, as well as other products. That is good. We need to do more though! We must support our local industry by purchasing local agriculture and forest products. We need to look at more locally produced organic heat for our homes, schools, and businessÕ s. Economics plays a serious part in purchasing fuel and it seems every time we lean toward an alternative fuel, the price of oil drops just enough to make the alternative, a non-alternative. In the long run though, we really need to think about what will be stable for our area. Forest products and agriculture are our key industries so letÕ s support them as much as possible. Buy your food from a local farmer, buy your fire wood or wood pellets from local suppliers and build as much as possible from local woods. Have a local carpenter or cabinet maker build your next piece of furniture. Let’s keep the money close to home where the profits will improve our neighborhoods and our childrenÕ s lives. LetÕ s not send our hard earned dollars elsewhere! Make sure you have a proper woodstove and chimney that meets local codes and is inspected before you start to heat with your local organic woods. Modern stoves have fewer emissions than old styles and are very efficient for heat production. Work with a chimney sweep to maintain your chimney and stove so you and your family stay safe.

Conservation

Conversations

Ribbon of fog often cap the summit of Whiteface Mountain during the early morning hours. The sight offers a reminder of what’s to come as the summer season segways towards autumn. The Adirondack summer has always been a dwarf on the annual calendar.

Ahhh…summertime, and the livin’ is easy

s I grow older, it seems the summer season has become much more fleeting than it was in my younger days, when the prospect of returning to a classroom was a constant lingering threat. While I understand the rationale behind the concept that a personÕ s perception of time is altered as they age Ñ It is an odd fact that while some summer days appear to last forever; the weeks and months seem to move faster than a dollar sign at the gas pump. The inescapable truth is the duration of our days is extended as a result of the quantity of activities we manage to pack into them. A long day may include a morning hike, some swimming, some diving, a lazy canoe float and a bit of casting even if the fish don’t want to cooperate. But when the fish do decide to provide a bit of entertainment, time stops for a while; or it can even allow one to regress. IÕ ve known many men, and ladies for that matter, who are reduced to the state of giddy, little kids at the mere shadow of a trout approaching their fly. This pattern of activity based regression is in fact the definition of recreation, which when broken down is simply to recreate, our spirit, our enthusiasm, and our reasons for living. Some folks have a need to achieve in order to get their dose of recreation, of which the recent Ironman USA is a classic example. Run, bike, and swim is fine for some, while many others prefer to drink, grill and snooze. To each his own, sport. IÕ ve also noticed the lack of time IÕ ve spent in camp this summer has had a drastic effect on my understanding of the season. There have been far fewer nights spent around the fire, watching the sparks intermingle with a million stars overhead, as fireflies continue to blink and flicker off and on in the pitch blackness. The rivers have remained quite high this season, and their waters have been rather cool. However, lake temperatures are now comparable to bathwater and the rope swings have been busy. The night skies have remained as brilliant as I can ever recall, and the morningÕ s fog equally as thick. The recent cool nights have offered up numerous examples of natureÕ s extraordinary ribbony masterpieces, which have been as fascinating to view from the valleys as from the mountaintops. Such scenes are always compounded by the appearance of a full moon, a brilliant sunset or other natural attractions. Although autumn will always remain my favored season for a number of good reasons, summer chases right along in a hard second. It is a youthful season, and one of the most fleeting available in our little neck of the woods. Although it brings with it a myriad of inconveniences which include muggy heat, rain, bugs, clogged roads and busy streets; the summer always serves to brings back our youth. And I wouldnÕ t trade that for all the Bluebird days of autumn, winter or spring combined. Where have the butterflies gone? For me, one of the surest signs of the summer season has always been the preponderance of butterflies in our backyard, which is overgrown with a thick swath of milkweed plants. To date, I have not witnessed a single monarch in the air or on the plants. Nor have I seen a single yellow swallowtail butterfly, sipping water along the edge of any stream, brook, creek, river or seep. Often, while wading the Boquet over the years, it has

become quite common to encounter a rabble of swallowtails gathered along a wet riverbank. It is always a joy to witness a rabble take to the air, and float along gently on the air currents of a river corridor. I never realized how much I enjoyed the sight, until itÕ s been gone. I do hope it is just a cycle with the swallowtails. However, the dire situation of the monarchs may be a far different matter. Entomologists have discovered a dramatic drop in monarch populations all across North America. It is believed to be the result of last yearÕ s combination of severe weather events, which included droughts, high winds, heavy rains and a prolonged cold snap during the spring migration. As a result of last summerÕ s droughts and the spring seasonÕ s rains, the massive monarch migration, which extends from Mexico to Canada, was decimated. According to various reports, there is a very real possibility that no monarchs will be found in the northern air this summer, which would be very sad. However, if you do need to see some monarchs, I highly recommend The Wild CenterÕ s newest movie, Ò Flight of the Monarchs,Ó which documents the popular butterfly’s incredible annual journey from the mountains of Mexico to the fields of North America. It is available daily at 11 a.m., noon and 4 p.m. The Wild Center in Tupper Lake, aka The Natural History Museum of the Adirondacks, showcases the natural world of the region with a quality comparable to the Adirondack MuseumÕ s display of the human history. They are two facilities that make me wish for more rainy days. Ò Normally we have hundreds of millions of Monarchs in Quebec and Eastern Canada, and now we have 90 percent of that at least,Ó noted Montreal InsectariumÕ s entomologist, Maxim LarrivŽ e in a recent interview that was published online. In fact, monarch populations have continued to suffer a severe drop in population during the past seven years, with as few as one-fifteenth the numbers that were in the air just two decades ago. The familiar black and orange species has been in serious decline for a while, and if populations continue the downward spiral; monarchs may no longer be a familiar fixture of the North Country summer.
