Shared assessor likely for two towns

This Week IN NEWCOMB

Great Camp has new guidebook

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ One person may soon be serving as sole assessor for two northern Warren county towns, if plans endorsed by both municipalities’ leaders materialize.

The town boards of Warrensburg and Chester have endorsed the idea of sharing the services of Greg Klingler, now serving as Warrensburg Town Assessor.

At a town board meeting last week, the Warrensburg town board approved sharing Klingler’s services with the town of Chester, if suitable agreements can be worked out with Klingler and the town of Chester.

Warrensburg Supervisor Kevin Geraghty said the board is seeking to work out such agreements before Jan. 1, when the new work arrangement would begin.

Geraghty continued that the Warrensburg council members were expecting Chester would be paying more than half of Klingler’s salary, because Chester has substantially CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Derailment disrupts train service

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ A minor derailment on the Saratoga & North Creek Railway suspended passenger train service for several days last week, but repairs to the track had the railway operating again

by Friday Aug. 9, according to a railroad representative.

A locomotive being pulled behind

a tourist train jumped the track on the morning of Aug. 2, which didn’t affect passenger cars, according to Luisa Sherman, spokeswoman for the railway. The derailment happened in Thurman between Thousand Acres Ranch and Thurman Station. Sherman said that although the passengers onboard weren’t affected, they were shuttled back to the North Creek station via buses.

Repairs have been made, and inspections have been conducted by Federal rail

of sewer treatment — and assess fines if they don’t pay up.

This announcement by town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson touched on one of several water and sewer problems that the Lake George Town Board focused on during their Aug. 12 meeting.

Town Board member Dan Hurley said that a broken sewer pipe underneath state land Ñ either Bat-

tleground Park or the adjacent state campgrounds — was allowing groundwater to infiltrate and flow into the town’s sewer main. He said that engineers operating a remote camera in the main observed that when it was raining, the camera would become submerged with water.

Town takes a step toward sewer system for downtown Chester

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com

55025

CHESTERTOWN Ñ With a goal of boosting commerce in town and protecting the environment, the town board has voted to apply for money to fund a feasibility study for a community septic system to service the downtown area.

At a special town board meeting Friday Aug. 9, the town board voted to approve an application for a $22,000 grant Ð which calls for local expenditure of $4,400 Ð to bankroll the study. The vote was 4-1 in favor. Town Board member Michael Packer voted against the measure.

The vote follows a request by the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance to pursue construction of a sewer system that would service existing and potential downtown businesses, which due to state health code are now limited to operations that don’t require much water use or septic discharge, because the hamlet is depending on individual.

Town Supervisor Fred Monroe said the sewer system would likely be a small-scale centralized septic tank system rather than a costly sewage treatment plant.

The grant application was prepared already by Cedarwood Engineering Services, and it was submitted by Monday Aug. 12, the deadline for applications for such state Environmental Facilities Corporation grants.

Tom Suozzo, an engineer with the firm, recently gave a presentation to the Business Alliance at their request.

He indicated that a feasibility study needed to be prepared and ready for submission in order to be competitive in obtaining grant funding to help pay for a sewer system, group officials said.

The group has voted in favor of the feasibility study.

Cedarwood is the North Creek firm that has been assisting Warrensburg for several years with their sewer and water system upgrades.

New guide for Great Camp Santanoni NEWCOMB Ñ Adirondack Architectural Heritage (AARCH), the private nonprofit, historic preservation organization for the Adirondack region, has unveiled its latest publication - a 52-page full-color guide to Camp Santanoni. The Visitor’s Guide to Camp Santanoni was written

by Charlotte Barrett, who was a summer staff person at Santanoni in 2012. In writing the guide she drew upon the book Santanoni: From Japanese Temple to Life at an Adirondack Great Camp by Rob Engel, Howie Kirschenbaum, and Paul Malo as well as from new research she did over the past year.

Camp Santanoni, a National Historic Landmark and owned by New York State, was built for the Robert and Anna Pruyn in the late 19th century and consisted of four dozen buildings, including a working farm, on 12,900 acres of land.

This interpretive guide walks visitors through Santanoni’s rich history and includes several detailed maps and more than seventy historic images. The guide also helps to describe the magic of Santanoni.

What almost everyone recalls [of Camp Santanoni] is something less tangible, born of Santanoni’s wild and magical

setting on Newcomb Lake, surrounded by deep woods and mountains. It is a reminder that, yes, there is a way for humans and nature to be in balance Ð Steven Engelhart, Executive Director Adirondack Architectural Heritage The production of the guide was made possible with support from the Town of Newcomb, the Department of Environmental Conservation, and the Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership.

Camp Santanoni is open to the public year-round, 365 days/year, and is accessible (depending on the season) on foot, by bicycle, on cross-country skis, and via a horse-drawn wagon.

The guide costs $3.95 and is available at Camp Santanoni, through AARCH, and at many regional bookstores.

For more information on the guide or visiting Santanoni, contact AARCH at 834-9328.

Bakery, pub earn Lake George village awards LAKE GEORGE Ñ Annual Lake George Village beautification awards will be presented by Lake George Village Friday Aug. 16 during the opening ceremonies of the Lake George Music Festival.

Mayor Robert Blais will present the awards at 5:30 p.m. in Blais Park off Beach Road prior to a brass ensemble’s fanfare, which is to herald the beginning of the third season of the week-long series of performances of classical music.

This year’s beautification awards feature the village’s Business of the Year honors going to the Lake George Baking Co. on Amherst St. Owned by Carl and Debbie Alberino, the popular year-round business also includes a

small, attractive patio for patrons to enjoy coffee and pastries on site.

The bakery was the first enterprise in 2008 to lease one of the stores in the new Cholakis Block, and the enterprise has now expanded to all three stores of the block on Amherst St. The Alberinos specialize in wedding cakes, restaurant service Ñ and they enjoy a brisk business to individual customers.

Tuesday Aug. 13, Carl Alberino said he was surprised and pleased by the award. Ò Considering the large number of successful businesses in the village, this is a great honor,Ó he said. Ò I nearly fell out of my chair when we were notified of the award — We’re so proud

of it.Ó Crediting his talented chief baker and the 30 years of experience he and his wife Debbie have invested in their work, Alberino added that his business has been able to open year-round because of their loyal clientele. Ò People from this region and from The City really appreciate what we do, and we’re happy we’re so well received,” he continued.

The commercial 2013 Beautification Award is to be presented to Sean Quirk, owner of King Neptune’s Pub on the village’s popular lakefront walkway. Quirk purchased the building recently and completely renovated the interior and exterior of the property in Adirondack ar-

chitectural accents and colors.

Residential beautification honors was awarded to a home at 131 Montcalm St., owned by Jeff Varmette. This old house, located at the entrance to the Prospect Mountain trail, has been completely refurbished after being vacant for several years. Varmette has also completed extensive plantings around the exterior of the wood-shingled two-story residence, Blais said. Ò More than ever, we see landowners upgrading the appearance of their properties, and it’s paying off as recent reports indicate customers and tourists are looking for a higher quality experience,Ó he said.

Get serious about road repair Money is the major problem

W

hen driving over roads in the Adirondacks, drivers and passengers routinely cringe when driving over potholes or veering around ruts in the road.

While such road conditions may provide an entertaining obstacle course for some Ò road warriors,Ó the deteriorated roads not only are a threat to public safety in triggering crashes, but they cause considerable damage to vehicles which boost repair and maintenance costs substantially for us all.

Younger drivers may take the prevailing road conditions for granted. But those of us who’ve been around for a while remember how decades ago, roadways were substantially smoother across the state. We remember how crossing state lines meant an abrupt change from cruising on smooth black asphalt surfaces, to driving on rutted bumpy roadways of Pennsylvania, New Jersey or Massachusetts.

This scenario has changed dramatically.

Faced with repeated financial shortfalls since the onset of the recession, New York State and its counties and towns slashed spending on roadway repair, and the results are evident in the road conditions here.

The problems with lack of road maintenance, however, go back further than 2008.

Years ago, a top state Department of Transportation official gave a presentation to Warren County supervisors, warning about how lack of funding for repair of the state’s roads was at near-crisis status, requiring billions of dollars more each year to restore roads to their historical condition.

Putting off needed minor repairs and resurfacing, he said, caused serious deterioration to occur that required far more expensive road reconstruction. He cited studies concluding that it costs seven times as much money to repair a road in bad condition than it does to maintain a road in adequate status.

His warning was on target.

An independent study showed that although New York had once had roadway conditions that far outshined the neighboring states of New Jersey and Connecticut, all three states had sunk to the bottom ranking nationally in recent years. The New York Times reported that New York ranked 43rd among the 50 states, Connecticut ranked 44th and New Jersey was the absolute last at number 50. The study was based on measuring excessive vibration.

At the time, it was reported that transportation officials calculated that poor road conditions cost U.S. motorists about $68 billion per

year in extra repair and maintenance costs, or as much as $800 to $1,000 extra annually per driver in regions with the most neglected roadways.

In 2009, the American Society of Civil Engineers assigned a near-failing grade of Ò DÓ to the nations roadways.

Studies conducted since then have showed that despite billions of dollars in federal stimulus funding being spent on roadway repair, prevailing conditions have actually declined.

For several years now, Warren County Public Works Superintendent Jeff Tennyson has voiced this same warning, about how procrastination on roadway repair costs taxpayers far more than paying a modest sum extra each year for responsible road upkeep.

Several weeks ago, he repeated his warning, noting the continued deterioration of county roadways. He said he could easily prepare a list of roads requiring repair that was four pages long. County supervisors responded by endorsing repair of three roadways, which we applaud, but their commitment to road repair should be far greater.

There’s some relief on the horizon, we hear, to the lack of state funding for road repair.

Earlier this year, the New York State Association of Counties called for a substantial increase in funding for roads and bridge repair and reconstruction statewide, noting that existing funding levels were only at about threequarters the level needed to maintain current conditions. The state legislature responded by boosting the state’s Consolidated Highway Improvement Program (CHIPS) by $75 million for each of the next two years.

While this increase should be applauded, it will take far more than this sum to stem ongoing roadway deterioration, particularly in light of decreases in federal funding and the end of the stimulus infrastructure grants.

Counties and towns also need to step up and authorize road repair and maintenance projects that are needed to keep our roads in good condition.

Poor roads not only cost drivers a lot in vehicle repair Ñ which is in itself far more costly year by year but they also crucial to the area’s economic vitality. They directly impact businesses’ financial health, job creation and retention and quality of life in general. But most important, poor road conditions can cause accidents which involve injury and deaths, particularly to motorcyclists. Ñ

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden •100 years ago - August 1913• Arrest for young girl’s abduction

James Kingsley, 40, and Dorothy Bates, 14, disappeared simultaneously Thursday, Aug. 21, 1913 from Starbuckville, a hamlet about two miles from Chestertown, where both resided. The girl had been living at the home of her grandparents. A warrant was issued for Kingsley’s arrest on a charge of abduction and kidnapping and Undersheriff Mac R. Smith of Lake George was put hot on his trail. Smith sent a request out to police throughout the state to be on the watch for the man and the child and a few days later he was notified of Kingsley’s arrest at Oakfield, near Rochester where he had been staying at the home of his sister. Smith went after the man accompanied by the girl’s father, Scott Bates, of Schroon Lake.

Kingsley was brought back and arraigned before Justice Charles H. Burge of Chestertown.

Bail was fixed at $5,000 which Kingsley could not furnish and he was committed to the county jail in Lake George to await the Grand Jury in October.

The girl has thus far refused to discuss her relations with Kingsley or to tell anything concerning the trip to Oakfield. Kingsley, however, talked freely to a Glens Falls reporter who interviewed him at the County Jail. He maintained his innocence and appeared to think he had done nothing wrong. He claimed he was intoxicated when he left Starbuckville and said the girl just wanted to go with him and said that he would have given her car fare to return back home which she would have done if they had not been apprehended.

Teen age boy drowns

John Amaar, 16, an Italian boy employed in the kitchen of Deerland Lodge, drowned in Long Lake, Saturday afternoon, Aug. 30, 1913, by the overturn of a canoe in he which he was riding.

The body was recovered Sunday.

He is survived by a twin brother who resides in New York City. Because it was impossible to locate the surviving brother and family, the authorities of Long Lake decided to bury the lad in the cemetery at that place.

Father, son in mortal duel over girl

A Warrensburgh lady has received news from her former hometown that a duel between father and son had taken place there at Bussiere, France.

A farmer’s son named Blanchard was in love with a girl employed on the farm. He discovered to his dismay that his father was also in love with her. A fierce quarrel resulted and the pair decided to fight a duel with revolvers. In the presence of the girl six shots were exchanged without any result, whereupon the father and son decided to finish the affair with knives.

At the first encounter, the son plunged his weapon into the father’s breast inflicting a mortal wound. The murderer has been arrested and is now in jail awaiting trial.

Hughes extolled at Centennial

Moving pictures of the Warren County Centennial, with scenes in Glens Falls and Warrensburgh, are being shown the week of Aug. 28, 2013 at the Fairyland Theatre in Warrensburgh.

At the recent Centennial celebration, with speeches by prominent people at the local Methodist Episcopal church, Senator Emerson said, Ò Justice Hughes is the most respected citizen of the United States today and we are glad to claim him as one of our own. Just to prove how big a man he is I have only to remind you that he refused last year (1912) the nomination for the presidency, even when it was conceded that he was sure of the election.Ó (Note - In 1916 Senator James A. Emerson was to eat his words.

Charles Evens Hughes, of Glens Falls, ran for the presidency against Woodrow Wilson and Wilson, in a close race, won the election. Teddy Roosevelt used to call Hughes, Ò the bearded lady.Ó The Republicans boasted that he had Ò a record as clean as a hound’s tooth,” and was “as

Re-enactments in Lk. Geo. this weekend

This weekend, Aug. 17 & 18, Fort William Henry will present a French and Indian war reenactment, depicting what the troops stationed in an entrenched local camp, today is known as Battlefield Park, may have been doing during the siege of Fort William Henry during the period of August 3 through 9, 1757.

There will be French, British, provincial and Native American re-enactors there. This is a free event at the Fort for locals with proof of residency.

Visitors are invited to walk through camps, and there will be a reenactment of warfare at 2 p.m. both days.

The nine-year long French and Indian War, lasting from 1754 to 1763, began with territorial disputes between the French and British, both of whom wanted to claim settlements and benefit from the economic growth that access to the 26-mile Lake George was sure to bring.

The siege of Fort William Henry took place in the summer of 1757. The British surrendered to the French, negotiated terms that included safe passage to Fort Edward. As they retreated, they were attacked by the Indians who had fought as allies of the French.

Get ready for heating season!

The cool fall weather will be here shortly, and now is the time to think about servicing your furnace or wood-stove. Replacing your air filter on your furnace is recommended yearly. And it’s always a good idea to check and replace weak stove pipes and gaskets on your woodstove. Additionally, if you don’t already have one, a carbon monoxide detector is a valuable device to install in your home. A routine check of a smoke detector only takes a few minutes – you won’t know it’s not working until it’s too late.

WCS playground built by volunteers

Elementary students at Warrensburg Central School will have a new playground when they return to school on September, 4. The rebuild went quite well last weekend. There were many volunteers, people and businesses that were instrumental in the success of this project.

As the old playground was dismantled Friday Aug. 9, temperatures rose and volunteers worked hard through the heat.

They welcomed the rain that followed and continued to work in the inclement weather. It rained so hard and fast that soon it was impossible to avoid puddles of water, but they continued working despite the mud.

Saturday brought much nicer weather and this writer learned a valuable lesson Ð even though the temperatures were moderate, I burned to a crisp! Please remember to wear sunscreen while working outdoors.

Fort — British chop-house?

Announcement is made that Fort William Henry Hotel in Lake George will remain open year around and that after Oct. 1, 1913 it will be under the personal provision of Albert Thieriot of Chestertown who will make the hotel his winter quarters. The hotel will be run after the style of the English chop house and it is hoped that the weather gods will smile on the venture and give us the good weather that they have withheld from us for the past three winters, real old-fashioned winter weather.

Old store to re-open near Schroon

C.E. Lavery’s store, at the foot of Elm Street near the Osborne Bridge which has been closed since it was vacated by J.P. Regner about three years ago, will be re-opened soon with a stock of general merchandise. The interior is being remodeled and new floor cases will be installed.

Mr. Lavery states that he has not yet decided whether he will lease the store or engage in business there himself, but in either case the store will be opened in the near future. (Note:Charles E. Lavery opened his first popular grocery store in 1899 in Warrensburgh. In 1942 he died while singing in the choir at the Methodist Church. His life story appeared in this column in the April 6, 2013 issue of the Adirondack Journal.)

Valuable timber land burns

The heavy rain on the night of Aug. 26, 1913 brought relief for many weary workers who for some time had been fighting forest fires in this area.

New lease to lead to more skiing at Gore

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK Ñ Gore Mountain ski center will be able to expand its trail system at the Ski Bowl thanks to a new lease agreement between FrontStreet Mountain Development and the town of Johnsburg.

FrontStreet officials announced last week that they have leased the remaining Historic Ski Trails on their Ski Bowl property to the town for winter skiing. The Olympic Regional Development Authority operates the Ski Bowl Park facilities on town land, including a tubing park, historic Village Slopes and an interconnect between the Ski Bowl and the ORDA-run Gore Mountain ski center. Ò This action will greatly expand the Ski Bowl portion of Gore Mountain and will help bring skiers into the village of North Creek,Ó Ski Bowl Village Project Manager Mac Crikelair said in a press release. Ò We are proud to be part of the public/private effort to expand Gore Mountain and the economy of North Creek.Ó This lease adds to the Sept. 15, 2011 agreement in which FrontStreet signed over usage of more than 40 acres of its property to the town so Gore Mountain could construct the Hudson Triple chair lift up to Little Gore and build accompanying trails, including two black diamond glades, the Ski Bowl and Hudson. This new expansion would mean at least one more trail, according to Gore Mountain General Manager Mike Pratt, and it’s consistent with the ski center’s unit management plan and environmental permits. Ò Eventually they could be regular trails, but certainly we’ll start with a glade and grow from there,” Pratt said.

“The days are getting shorter, and we’ve got a lot on our plate, but hopefully we’ll be skiing over there this winter.”

FrontStreet has now made available more than 80 acres of skiable terrain for Gore Mountain ski center. Ò The Ski Bowl Park and related skiing activity is very important to the town,Ó said Johnsburg Town Supervisor Ron Vanselow. Ò We are also taking steps with Gore and FrontStreet to expand the parking at the Ski Bowl. There will be hundreds of parking spaces just a short walk to the lifts. Between the additional parking, the additional trails, and changes in the driving patterns, the Interconnect will better serve its purpose to connect the Gore Mountain skiing complex with downtown North Creek, with all the anticipated economic benefits.”

Adirondack Challenge organizers critique Cuomo’s event

By Bill Quinlivan

denpubs@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE Ñ A coalition of Adirondack Challenge organizers from the state, region, county and town levels critiqued the first-ever event Aug. 6 at the Indian Lake Ski Hut. They had put the word out to the community that a debrief of sorts was to be held to investigate how the community at large felt about the Challenge and to hear what worked and what needed to be improved. Also on the agenda was the objective of hearing from community members as to whether they wanted to host future events. The 2013 event was held July 21-22 in Indian Lake.

The coalition of organizers included: •Bill Farber, Chairman, Hamilton County Board of Supervisor •Ross Levi, Vice President of Marketing Initiatives for Empire State Development •Ron Ofner, Director of the Adirondack Regional Tourism Council (ARTC) •Jim McKenna President and CEO of the Lake Placid Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB)/Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism (ROOST) •Jeff Byrne, Senior Vice President, Olympic Regional Development Authority •Brian Wells, Indian Lake Town Supervisor •Neil McGovern, Supervisor, Town of Lake Pleasant •Christine Pouch, President of Indian Lake Chamber of Commerce •Vonnie Liddle, Town of Indian Lake Events/Activities Coordinator •Bob Rafferty, owner of Adirondack Rafting Co., Indian Lake, and president of the Hudson River Professional Outfitters Association •Brian McDonnell of the Adirondack Watershed Alliance Farber served as moderator for the organizer group and resident attendees. He opened the meeting with a personal Ò thank youÓ to the town of Indian Lake and offered the same from the whitewater rafting community, the Adirondack region and Hamilton County.

From his personal perspective, the level of advertising and promotion that came out of the event exceeded any expectations, Farber said. The event was immediately followed by media coverage at the local and national level and provided fodder for the current I Love NY campaign focusing on whitewater rafting. He explained that the Adirondack Challenge generated a high level of excitement for hosting events throughout the region.

The goal of the Aug. 6 meeting was to: •assess how the organizers and residents felt about the event; •see what worked and what didn’t work; and •find out whether or Indian Lake town officials and residents would be willing to host another such Challenge-type event.

Given the issues discussed, the majority of those in attendance were positive toward hosting such an event again.

The Positives

Ron Ofner of the ARTC said he felt the event was a success for the region. Ò Our website visitation for six days post the event doubled what it was for the same time during the previous year,Ó Ofner said.

Jeff Byrne of ORDA commented on what he thought was a great logistical effort in having a host system to greet guests.

Indian Lake Councilman John Valentine responded that the hosts numbered around 30 in-

dividuals who were all volunteers and they were made up of Indian Lake residents and others from all over the Adirondack Park. Ó Everyone had a great time, and a lot of that stemmed from the greeting they got and from the ongoing efforts of the volunteers throughout the event,Ó Farber said.

Terri De Armas, an Indian Lake resident, was a hostess during the event. Ò My husband was also a host,Ó De Armas said. Ò Everyone had a wonderful time and they loved Indian Lake.Ó Lenny Baglieri, proprietor of the Blue Mountain Rest commended the organizers. Ò What you pulled off in seven weeks was commendable,Ó Baglieri said.

Jim McKenna of ROOST said everyone came together, learned about Indian Lake and made contacts, which would improve communication and cooperation in the future through the region. Ò The rafters are seeing a very positive increase in interest since the event,Ó Bob Rafferty said. Ò In fact, people who were involved in the event are already returning with friends and family to raft again.Ó Concerning the flatwater portion of the event, co-organizer Brian McDonnell reported that the venue of Indian Lake Ò was terrific and perfect for the focus of the event, the four-person canoe.Ó There were just under 100 participants.

The flatwater event started and finished at the launch of the Indian Lake Islands Campground. McDonnell said the staff was terrific at both the Indian Lake Islands and the Lewey Lake campground, where more than one-half of the paddlers stayed. Ò The pro races did exactly what we wanted,Ó McDonnell said. Ò Paddlers came from as far away as Florida, Michigan and Canada, with many of them going on to races in the country of Poland, and the state of Michigan and to compete in the Ausable River Marathon, and they will spread the word of the success of this event.Ó From the positive side, it seemed organizers, town officials and residents alike agreed the event was a success with regard to the publicity that was garnered. That being said, plenty of feedback was given about what could and should have been.

The Disappointments

The Chamber’s Christine Pouch said the event was met with mixed reaction. Her assessment was supported by a number of issues voiced from Indian Lake residents and officials during the Aug. 6 meeting. There was a general sense of disappointment, which seemed to stem from uncontrolled and unfulfilled expectations. There was apparently room for improved communications about what would be happening, what the bottom-line nature and objectives of the event truly were and what interaction among the residents, local officials and Gov. Andrew Cuomo would occur, as well as, when and where.

Residents voiced expectations that Cuomo would be seen more in the town of Indian Lake. The governor was also expected to say something specific and positive about the town to the media. There was a feeling that the governor should have shown more acknowledgement of Indian Lake officials and generally should have provided a more personal touch with the residents and volunteers in the town. The biggest disappointment and economic impact seemed to come from the expectation that the governor would appear at Byron Park and conduct the award ceremony there. It was instead moved to the Gore Mountain ski center in North Creek.

Farber seemed to understand that expectations lacked some

control from levels above the town. Ò (For the future) we are trying to make sure we know what the expectations are,Ó Farber said.

However, in answer to the objections raised, Farber pointed out that the governor visited the school and met with Superintendent Mark Brand and Principal David Snide and communicated thanks for the school facilities being provided as the welcoming point for participants and the headquarters for the media.

Farber also pointed out that he was with Cuomo at the Indian Lake firehouse, where they joined those enjoying burgers there. Ò I had a chance to talk with him about the downtown area (of the hamlet of Indian Lake) and its needs while we were there,Ó Farber said.

Cuomo also visited some Indian Lake businesses and toured the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake with Director David Kahn.

As to the expectation and disappointment over Cuomo not visiting Byron Park, this objection did not seem to be satisfactorily addressed during the meeting.

Councilman Valentine expressed a special concern over the disappointment that existed in the community, that is, its effect on future volunteerism. He also communicated the feeling that I Love NY did a great job of promoting the Sunday event, but the attendance at the events in and around the town on Saturday was poor.

One of the event hosts attending the meeting said that she heard a lot of disappointment over the fact that the events lacked availability for spectatorship. Though this was the case with the whitewater Challenge, most understood the safety and security constraints on this particular event. However, this was especially true of the flatwater event. Ó There is a need to design a course that is more spectator friendly for the next event (on Indian Lake),Ó McDonnell said.Ó McDonnell offered ideas of using pontoon boats and arranging for access to campsites that line the lakeside of Route 30.

Beyond issues raised for better signage, mapping and flow, there was the issue of the event’s timing. Early June or late September may have been a better time for such an event since Ò midJuly usually finds all our rooms already booked,” Baglieri said. Ò This event was put together as a marketing tool,Ó Farber responded. Ò Therefore that is what drove the date.Ó Farber later said the weather expectation had some influence on the dates chosen and that future events would need to take into account when tourism needs a boost.

LAKE GEORGE — Officials of Lake George Alumni Association needs some input from graduates of Lake George High as they plan their group’s annual banquet.

Alumni are encouraged to submit nominations for awards, as well as recollections of their experiences in the Lake George schools. Graduates are asked to send in what entree represented the best school lunch, as well as their best and worst moments in their school years. Classmates are also asked to send in a brief description of their careers since high school. Nominations for Best Educator, Alumni Wall of Honor and Community Service Achievement are also being sought.

Reservations for the banquet are also welcome.

The theme for this year’s banquet is “Blue Hawaii 1963.” Hawaiian attire is optional, however event organizers say they are looking forward to their Best Dressed Couples contest to boost the theatrics of the evening.

Lake George graduate Pam Parrott is chairing the annual banquet, which represents the 50th reunion of her class of 1963. Parrott served as class president a half-century ago. She has recently retired from her career as a teacher at Glens Falls High School.

Assessor

from page 1 more land parcels to assess. The town of Warrensburg currently pays Klingler $35,000 per year plus benefits, which Geraghty said amounted to 45 percent of his pay, or $15,750 annually. Ò If we can negotiate agreements, this arrangement will save taxpayers money,Ó Geraghty said.

The Chester town board has been seeking to hire a new assessor since their town’s long-time assessor Paul Maniacek announced in 2011 he planned to retire. Soon after, he and the board reached an agreement that he would work parttime on a temporary basis until a permanent replacement was hired. Several months ago, the town advertised for a full-time assessor and Klingler applied for the post, Chester Supervisor Fred Monroe said.

Geraghty said Klingler has been seeking to earn more, and that a shared assessor arrangement might provide that opportunity, while reaping savings for Warrensburg.

Geraghty and Monroe said that sharing the assessor position between the two towns would save both municipalities on not only the cost of salary, but benefits including retirement and

www.adirondackjournal.com health care Ð two rising expenses Ð but also training and travel costs.

Monroe said that until recently, the towns of Chester and Horicon had together paid Maniacek $55,000 per year, splitting the cost. Chester had paid more than half, or between $30,000 and $35,000 he said.

Klingler said Tuesday Aug. 13 that while the town boards of Warrensburg and Chester had both approved the idea of him working for both towns, details of salary, hours and start time had yet to be negotiated. Ò The town boards want to go forward, and I think this will move ahead,Ó he said, noting the towns have similar equalization rates and property values. “It’s a nice arrangement, as the towns are so similar — it’s a natural blend.”

Klingler has served as Warrensburg Sole Assessor since September 2008.

Chester citizens may be getting a bonus out of the arrangement. Klingler is an accomplished photographer, and for years he’s been photographing scenic sites in Warrensburg. He may likewise focus on Chester Ñ if he indeed serves as their assessor.

His scenes of Warrensburg have been published on post cards, which are now available at Rebecca’s Florist, Miller Art & Frame and Rafter J. Western World.

Train service from page 1

He expressed dismay over why it took Saratoga & North Creek Railway officials four days to notify the media or public officials about the derailment, considering the disruption of train service.

Sherman said last week that the railway operators would from now on be notifying local officials of schedule disruptions on a more timely basis. She noted that for several weeks, the trains would be slowing down over the area of repaired track, and that trip times would be increased by about 15 minutes each direction. This requirement would cause the mid-day departures from Saratoga and from North Creek to be suspended until further notice.

Departures from Saratoga will continue at 10 a.m. daily and Friday through Monday evenings also at 7 p.m. to accommodate weekend stays, she said. Departures southbound from North Creek will continue to be offered at 7 a.m. and 3:45 p.m. daily, she added.

“We regret any inconvenience to our passengers and loss of ‘foot traffic,’ especially in North Creek where merchants and event promoters count on rail passengers to bolster commerce,Ó she said, noting that the train will be operating in time to transport passengers to and from the Upper Hudson Bluegrass Festival, scheduled for Aug. 16 through 18 in North Creek.

Greg Klingler, Warrensburg Sole Assessor since 2008, studies property valuation details in 2012 on his office computer monitor. Klingler may soon also be serving as assessor for the town of Chester, as the municipality has agreed to share his services, although negotiations remain with officials of both towns concerning salary and hours.

Ò This is my classic nightmare,Ó he said, noting that one of the boats had come from a waterway that hosts 150 different invasive species.

‘Adirondack Kids’ authors to sign new book in Bolton Landing

By Katherine Clark

The VanRipers published their first book in 2001, when Justin was only 11 years old.

Now at age 23 and a college graduate, Justin and his dad still write one book every year.

The main characters have gone on adventures around the 6-million-acre Adirondack Park to include adventures on the North Creek railroad for book four, Ò The Great Train Robbery,Ó to Lake Champlain for book nine, Ò The Legend of the Lake Monster,Ó and to Ticonderoga in book 11 with Ò The Fall of Fort Ticonderoga.Ó The series has also included the illustrations of Gary’s wife, Carol VanRiper, since book four.

“It’s really a family project now,” Gary said.

katherine@denpubs.com

Connecting with words

From left, Gary, Carol and Justin VanRiper of Lakes area (Old Forge, Inlet, etc.). The black fly also gave them a connection to Saranac Lake and to the Black Fly Challenge, an annual 40mile mountain bike race between Indian Lake and Inlet.

Father-son project

Gary said the book series began more than 13 years ago as a way to engage Justin in reading and writing. Ò We started off not even considering it would be a book let alone a series. We just started writing about our adventures our camp on the Fulton Lakes,Ó Gary said.

Later Gary was asked to read at a Parents as Reading Partners event at Justin’s school, and they both decided to read their stories instead

of someone elseÔ s book. Ò After I finished reading, we got a lot of compliments. People seemed to like the story and then someone came up and asked when would the book be coming out and it gave us the idea to write more,Ó Gary said.

At their first signing, Gary said he and Justin were excited to sell more than 100 books and then within a few months their book sold over 2,000 copies. Ò I knew when we sold 2,000 books with no real publicity, and a regional book at that, how unusual this story was and that people were really interested,Ó Gary said. Ò We said we’ll write the books as long as people want them, and every year it seems the enthusiasm grows.Ó

Gary said he hopes that the books he and his son write are for students at the fourthgrade reading level and up.

“The characters are essentially frozen in time. We try to keep their adventures believable for children at that age group while sometimes inserting words that will challenge their vocabulary,Ó Gary said.

Through the books he said he has received feedback saying the local fictitious adventures have been Ò gateways for reluctant readers.Ó “I’ve read that there are two ages where children are vulnerable to giving up on reading,” Gary said. “That’s fourth grade and ninth grade. We played catch with words in ways that most fathers and sons played baseball. It’s really important for parents to make reading with their kids part of their routine.Ó Gary said he and Justin are already starting research on their next book based at an old theme park, the Land of Makebelieve, in Upper Jay.

BOLTON LANDING — The black fly on the Adirondack Carousel in Saranac Lake has gone missing in the newest book in the Ò Adirondack KidsÓ series.

The who-done-it book, Ò The Carousel Case, the Bicycle Race & The Blackfly Bad Guy,” was released at a joint one-year anniversary party of the Carousel’s opening in May, but Warren County residents will get a chance to meet the authors at a special book-signing event from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 30 at TREES Adirondack Gifts and Books in Bolton Landing.

The father-son authors of the series, Justin and Gary VanRiper, will be signing copies of their 13th book in this popular series. Topics have spanned throughout the Adirondack Park.

The VanRipers Ñ of Camden, just west of Boonville Ñ said they knew about 10 years ago they wanted to write about the Carousel. Ò We kept up with the progress of the project, and when we heard it would finally be opening we were ready to start writing,Ó Gary said.

“Our mission and the Carousel’s mission are similar. We aim to fuse art, entertainment and education with our stories like they encourage education of the animals in the Adirondacks.Ó Gary said one of the first Carousel creatures that was shown to the public was Bug-Eye the black fly that was carved by Walt Reuss and Rich Kraft and painted by Meg Bernstein. Ò After 13 books about the Adirondacks, how could you not write a book about a black fly?”

Gary said. Ò There is a sort of romance to a carousel in general with fun flashes of color, kids and family and especially a carousel with animals indigenous to the Adirondacks. It just sort of screamed ‘write a book about this to us.’”

In their previous books, the VanRipers have based many of their stories in the Fulton Chain

Adirondack Journal - 17

Have we lost our senses?

A clover patch that was mowed to allow sun in.

Summer food plots

T

he other day I saw some young turkeys out in a field feeding on grasshoppers and other bugs. The young birds were foraging for the protein and energy they need to grow. Like Bear says, bugs are good!

Deer are starting to feed on the slowly changing color of green to red apples. Apples are loaded with sugars, which are excellent energy sources for putting on the pounds.

Food is the primary concern of all animals. InBy Rich Redman stinctively they know that they need to gain as much weight as possible to make it through another winter. Putting on weight for animals may be hard, for me, keeping it off is the problem. I need to work out like Arnold Schwarzenegger to keep the weight off, but that is another tale to tell.

Protein, carbohydrates, fats and minerals are all needed to increase weight and to have energy to make it through a long cold night, especially up here in the North Country. If you live near a farm, corn, soybeans, alfalfa, clovers and tree crops like apples and acorns and tree browse will supply much of what an animal needs. Grasses, clovers and weeds that are mature with a seed head supply food to the seed eating birds.

In the woods it’s another story. Quality food is scarce, especially in an unmanaged forest, like Blue Line State Land. In unmanaged lands, shade covers the ground in many places and prevents plants like raspberries, and other food plants from growing. Nature takes it course on unmanaged land.

Many private forest owners nowadays want to do more than just let nature take its course. They want to supplement the food supply on their property by cutting openings where the sun reaches the ground to stimulate the growth of berries, and other plants that ground feeding animals prefer.

Another option is to plant a food plot of clover, brassicas, rye, chicory, and alfalfa if you have the right pH. With the heat of the summer over, and the fall rains coming, it’s time to get that food plot in the ground.

Old headers and log roads work great for food plots. First, you plow or rake all the logging trash to the downhill side so the trash won’t stop you from mowing the site.

Keep it clean. Try to keep some of the smaller organic material so the soil mix holds more water. A York rake works well for this. Add compost to hold moisture and add slow release nutrients.

Make sure you have a soil test so you put on what the plant needs, not what you think it needs. Once you have the soil test completed, find a nice mix of the type of forage you want to plant. There are numerous internet sites with all kinds of different food plot information you may want to try. Once again check the label on the bag so you follow what the company recommends for that particular planting. A hand spreader or small spinner applies the seed evenly. You can also use it for fertilizer and lime if it’s a small plot. Fertilize and lime for quality, our soils are not especially rich up here.

Get the planting in as soon as possible, so it has enough time to establish a sound rooting system and build up energy to make it through the winter, just like the animals. Plant the clovers in the wetter spots and chicory is OK in the dryer sites.

Try a variety of plantings; don’t put all your eggs in one basket as the saying goes.

Variety is the spice of life, and insures that you have a crop in case one fails. Don’t mix all the seed together and try a shotgun mix, not good! Brassicas stay separate, clover and chicory can go together. Clover alone is a great food plot. Follow the recommendations on the seed bag.

If you planted a food plot in spring, take a look at it and see if the grasses are getting ahead of the clovers. Clover needs sun and you need to clip, mow or weed whack the grasses to allow the sun to penetrate the clover patch. I was working with a guy and we mowed his grass clover mix a few weeks ago. The clovers are doing well. I repeat, fertilize and lime for quality, our soils are not especially rich up here.

If you want a long term food plot, try planting some apple trees and other fruit trees along with berry bushes that will supply energy to your wildlife. Crab apples, wild apples, wild raisin, blueberries, dogwoods, oaks and beech will supply fruit and nuts to your critters.

If you plant trees, make sure you have a large root ball with plenty of compost so the plant handles the transplanting shock. I like to plant just before a good soaking rain and cool temperatures. Spring transplants are best, but fall ones work if you do it carefully.

For grouse, aspen buds are the prime food source. If you have large popple or aspen in your wood lot, cut them down in the winter when the roots have all the energy stored. Create a large clear area so the new growth of root suckers gets plenty of sun.

Young thick stands of aspen intermixed with apple and other fruit trees provides some great habitat. It will take 10 years to get a young stand thick for birds, but wildlife management is not quick and easy. Like a fine wild apple hard cider, it takes time and planning to do it right.

Planting a food plot is something everyone should try in their field or woodlot. It will provide additional food for the animals and provide you an enjoyable time in the field or woods.

Catlins feed supply in Ticonderoga and Bob Duprey’s in Chazy can get you just about anything you may need. Many other stores like Tractor Supply, Gander Mountain, Seedway in Vermont and the Whitetail Institute can supply you with a quality food plot mix.

I prefer to buy from my local guys and so should you. Keep the money close to home!

Whether you hunt, shoot with a camera, or just like to observe the fruits of your labor and the animals enjoying those fruits, it doesn’t matter to me.

Plant a food plot, sit back and dig on life.

Conservation

Conversations

Banner Pines provide evidence of prevailing winds, which typically come from the west. As a result, elongated limbs can typically be found pointing to the east.

L

ong before such technological advancements as electronic Global Positioning Systems, or even the magnetic compass, travelers knew how to rely upon simple observations of natural patterns to assist them in orienting their travels and to help predict the weather.

Travelers understood the natural weather signs and were accustomed to learning the lay of the land in order to avoid being caught off-guard by the elements.

Regular observation allowed them to become attuned to the waters, sky, air, as well as the behavior of animals, birds, insects and even the trees.

Unfortunately, in recent times humans have increasingly lost touch with the natural world. The vast majority of humans can no longer be considered natural travelers. Increasingly, modern man has grown out of touch with his natural surroundings. It should come as no surprise, as we have lost the need to use our senses.

We cover up from head to toe with a hat on our head and socks and shoes muffling our feet. We plug an iPod into our ears, and set a pair of dark sunglasses on our nose.

As travelers, we have effectively shuttered our natural senses, and as a result we often fail to recognize all that is happening in our surroundings.

Our hearing is dampened, as is our touch, feel, vision and balance. Of course, we are masked and overpowered by the acceptable amount of deodorant, after shave, perfume, shampoo, mouthwash and scented soap we use to disguise our own. After clearing, cleaning, masking and eliminating any of the natural scents and senses that may have been accumulated, we continue to cover-up any exposed skin that might offer us a natural hint of what is to come. Is it any surprise that modern day society has become so totally disconnected from the natural world?

At one time, it was a unique combination of natural observation and orientation that made it possible for humans to reliably predict the weather, and to accurately determine their correct direction of travel.

It was a perspective that was typically based on an intuitive knowledge of the local landscape, as well as regular observations of weather, animals and other natural signs.

In the Adirondack region, natural clues of orientation are abundant for those who know how to read them. Most of the lakes are oriented south to north, as a result of scouring that occurred as the glaciers retreated.

The local mountain-tops also sport the same long, gouge lines that were etched by the scraping of rocks under the retreating glaciers. They were carved in a similar north/south orientation as a result of the glacial retreat.

If the lands and the waters fail to provide proper opportunities, there are still many other natural features available on the natural compass.

The sun still rises in the east, and continues to set in the west, due to the natural counterclockwise rotation of the earth. The moon also rises in the east.

This rotation is responsible for delivering the majority of our wind and weather patterns from the west. The prevailing wind tends to tip the tops of our tall white pines toward an easterly direction. These trees are known as banner pines. Another well established natural directional sign is moss, which typically grows thickest on the shaded, north side of a tree.

However, moss can be found on any side of a tree depending on the shade provided by other surrounding

trees. Wind or storm damage can also twist the trunk of a tree after moss has been established.

Despite such anomalies, moss typically grows thickest on the north side of a tree because it is shaded and gets the least direct sunshine. It is the same reason snow stays longer and is often deeper on the north facing slopes.

North facing slopes are usually colder and shadier during the fall, winter and spring when the sun is predominantly shining on the southern slopes.

However, it is important to recognize that natural methods of direction aren’t infallible. Always look for more than one indicator when ascertaining a direction. If the sun, plants and wind all indicate the same thing, then chances are they can’t all be wrong!

Weather or Not

Similar to determining the proper orientation by observing natural indicators, many travelers have also forgotten how to predict the weather by observing the natural signs. Well before such modern tools as AccuWeather radar and satellite monitoring systems first evolved, travelers depended primarily on natural observations to predict the expected weather patterns. Fortunately, many still do.

I’m very fortunate in this regard, as I happen to be very sensitive to air pressure. My ears begin to pop whenever a low pressure system approaches. However, I’ve also learned how to recognize many other natural signs that foretell foul weather, for which a campfire always provides a welcome aid.

While sitting around a fire in the evening, it is easy to spot a ‘ring around the moon,’ which is usually a sure sign of rain, or snow depending on the season.

Known as a corona, the ring is the result of a refraction of the moon’s light in ice crystals at a very high altitude. It typically indicates low pressure and foul weather are on the way. A sure sign that a low pressure system has arrived is often found closer to a fire ring, and it is more evident than looking for a ring around the moon. Typically, low pressure systems are accompanied by damp and musty scents, which cause smoke from a fire to hang close to the ground.

This occurs because the heavy, moisture-laden smoke particles fail to disperse into the woods as easily as lighter, dry ones do.

Humid air also carries scents far better than dry air. It is interesting to note that bog plants also release more oils as humidity climbs, which explains the old saying: “When a ditch or pond offends the nose, it’s time to look out for rain or stormy blows.Ó Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

Local country-rock duo to debut CD this weekend NORTH CREEK Ñ The local country-rock duo of Jennifer Gadway and Katy Cole Ñ a.k.a. Decadence Ñ will hold a CD release party for Ò Tales From the MountainsÓ at 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 17 at the Copperfield Inn ballroom on Main Street in North Creek. Ò Tales From the MountainsÓ is an EP they recorded at Oceanway Studios on Music Row in Nashville. It was engineered by Patrick McMakin, who has worked with many great country musicians, including Willie Nelson, Brooks and Dunn, Dolly Parton and N Sync. Ò Tales from the MountainsÓ is a cycle of songs that tell a wild and vivid tale of life, lust, love, and death. It has already been praised by some of the biggest names in country music as Ò new, fresh, and unlike anything you’ve heard.” New tracks — “Too Much Fun” and “Dogtown Cadillac” — have already received airplay from numerous radio stations and have had a huge response from listeners and fans.

This CD is a followup to the duo’s first album, “Love Loud,” released in 2012.

Gadway and Cole formed Decadence in 1996. They started out as a cover band playing in North Creek and their local area of the Adirondacks. After a brief hiatus, they reunited with a new idea as to what Decadence would become. Gadway’s strong voice and country influence mix with Cole’s blues and rock influences. The band also includes Chris Schempp, Tommy Ryzuk and Matt Dower.

Since June, they’ve regularly played in New York City at notable venues such as Tammany Hall, and the Shanghai Rock Hotel. They’ve also done strings of shows in Nashville, Orlando and Tampa, Fla. While band members are excited about their upcoming release of Ò Tales from the Mountains,Ó they are still hard at work in the studio completing their full length album.
