Festival for the Lake this weekend

WARRENSBURG

By Thom Randall

Car hop good for community

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ An ambitious three-day event to be held this weekend in Lake George Village features a street festival, a craft fair, casino games, a childrenÕ s carnival, plenty of family activities and a lineup of talented musical entertainment.

Called Ò Festival for the Lake,Ó the event will be held from Friday Sept. 27 through Sunday Sept. 29, and several downtown blocks will be cordoned off for the crowd that is expected to attend.

Billed as Lake George’s largest festival, the event goes much further than merely providing a memorable weekend.

It will be raising thousands of dollars to help bankroll an effort to curb invasive species that are threatening Lake George. All festival vendors will be donating a portion of their proceeds toward the effort, Mayor Robert Blais said Friday. Ò Attending this festival is a way for families to have a lot of fun while having a good feeling about protecting the CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

WARRENSBURG — Vintage fast food served outdoors, classic cars, and plenty of socializing were featured Thursday Sept. 12 as about 100 area citizens and local business representatives participated in the Warrensburg Car Hop event.

Many visited the gathering on upper Main St. to inspect the vintage cars, while others browsed the lineup of displays hosted by local business representatives.

Centered in the parking lot of Luck-E-Star, the event included food served at picnic tables by volunteer waitresses.

WCKM radio personality Lee Pecue interviewed many of the people attending, boosting spirits with his cheery demeanor.

The event was hosted as a fundraiser by the Greater Warrensburg Business Alliance. Ò It was a blast,Ó Alliance co-chair said afterwards. “We had a fantastic time — it was a huge success.”

Four waitresses served food at the dinersÕ tables, delivering upbeat conversation as well as

“The Alliance is working to build up a sense of community, and thatÕ s what was happening,Ó she said.

The event hosted a surprise visit by a cast of mock bootleggers and Ò federal agentsÓ in antique cars and 1920s garb, staging an apprehension of Prohibition-era crooks, as a prelude to the Rum-Runners’ Weekend held Sept. 13 through 15 in nearby Chestertown. The agents searched the crowd, nabbed Wes Butler Sr. of Brant Lake, dragging him away to the crowd’s delight. The Rum-Runners’ Weekend was an event sponsored by the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance of northern Warren County.

Hill said her Warrensburg-based organization was planning to adopt the Car Hop as an annual event. Also, there is a spinoff in now being pursued by local residents Mike Lawler and Frank Bennett — a weekly Car Hop moving from one Warrensburg business to another, likely to be held on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, she said. Ò Everyone looked like they were having a good time,” she said.

Cemetery.

To be portrayed are people from before Warrensburg became a town to a time when a Warrensburg aviator became world famous. All to be brought to life by local amateur actors are: a member of family who came here before William Bond who was supposedly the first settler, a woman who hosted the first town meeting, a woman who left a great gift to Warrensburg, a man who left town at an early age but left a legacy that stands today, and a man who helped found the Presbyterian Church.

Authors to sign books at great sale

Two authors from Saranac Lake who have published books on meeting challenges in their lives will be meeting readers and signing their books during the WorldÕ s Largest Garage Sale weekend. Michael Northrup and Yvona Fast will have a table set up for this purpose at 118 Jenni Jill Drive Saturday Oct. 5 and Sunday Oct. 6.

Northrop acquired a Traumatic Brain Injury at age 10 which compromised his short-term memory. Then at age 30, a cerebral aneurysm almost took his life. He has published two books, one on how the health care system needs to better support people with disabilities, and the other focusing on how he endured and overcame his medical challenges. Northrup is the partner of Cheryl Nissen, formerly of Warrensburg.

Author Yvona Fast, who also has dealt with physiological challenges, will be offering two books, one is a career guide for individuals with Asperger Syndrome or non-verbal learning disabilities, and the second is a guide of how to create nutritious meals using seasonal, local produce. For details, contact the authors at: yvonawrite@yahoo.com or: advocate317@gmail.com

Sacred Heart craft fair approaching

On Saturday Oct. 12 during Columbus Day weekend, Sacred Heart Church in Lake George will hold its annual Craft Fair from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dozens of vendors are expected to participate in the sale in the yard of the church, located at 50 Mohican St. In addition to a wide array of crafts, the sale is to feature freshpicked apples, home-baked pies, potted chrysanthemums, and a raffle.

LAKE GEORGE Ñ After architectural drawings of the proposed six-story Marriott hotel were criticized Wednesday, Sept. 18 by the village planning board, the developers of the enterprise vowed to initiate changes to make the hotel more visually appealing.

Developer Dave Kenny announced this summer his intention to build a hotel in downtown Lake George with 120 guest rooms and extensive banquet and conference facilities. Wednesday was a workshop meeting of the board to take a first look at a tentative initial proposal. The hotel plans also must go before the Adirondack Park Agency.

After other planning board members spent about 30 minutes Wednesday asking developer Dave Kenny about traffic patterns, parking and where a dumpster might be located, Patricia Dow raised the issue of aesthetics. She criticized the long, flat, blank walls and virtually uninterrupted roofline — and how they would not conform to the villageÕ s new architectural standards adopted this spring.

These regulations prohibit the dull, boxy look and call for the use of dormers, parapets, stepped roofs, cornices, plus wall offsets and recesses, which were absent or minimal in the drawings presented Wednesday.

“This is really just a large flat surface — I don’t see it has visual interest, and itÕ s important to the community to make it look attractive,” Dow said. “Make more of an Adirondack statement and make it a credit to the community, Marriott and you.”

When Kenny debated her points, she produced depictions of the Lake Placid Marriott, which includes multiple planes, recesses, colors, materials, staggered rooflines and other architectural elements.

Dow said that after the Fort William Henry Hotel was built several years ago, sheÕ d heard complaints about its boxy, unimaginative architecture Ñ although it was supposed to have many of the design features of the historic hotel that once stood there.

“This is a large mass of a building — it’s sort of like a dormitory,” she said of the hotel proposal.

After Dow broke the ice on the subject, other planning board members echoed her point. Ò I agree with everything she said,Ó fellow Planning Board member Dean Howland said, suggesting “bumping out” rooms to provide visual interest. He said that it was important for this hotel, the villageÕ s first large one, to set a precedent with appealing architecture.

Planning Board Chairman Robert Mastrantoni added his thoughts. “We’re looking for a design with a more Adirondack feel,Ó he told Kenny, noting that

The first rendition of the proposed six-story Lake George Marriott hotel was panned Wednesday, Sept. 18.

more exposed beams, stonework, varied building materials, contrasting colors and staggered multiple rooflines would create appeal. “It could be more visually intriguing and break up what would otherwise be a huge mass.”

Howland added another comment.

“The design could be more articulated,” he said.

Chuck Luke said the north and south ends of the building were blank and dull.

“This reminds me of someone building a four-bedroom colonial and they ran out of money,Ó he said, examining a depiction of the hotel’s southern end.

Dow said she objected to the primarily white exterior, saying it was too stark. She noted that it would be visually prominent not only from downtown, but from the lake — a point that Kenny contested.

Traffic congestion also an issue

Questions were also raised about potentially troublesome traffic prompted by the development. Planning Board member Chuck Luke expressed concern about traffic snarls on Canada St. as well as on Ottawa St. where the school busses converge at the nearby high school both mornings and mid-afternoon.

Board members suggested prohibiting right-hand turns onto Ottawa St. from the hotel’s rear driveway either during particular weekday hours, or banning them altogether, depending on the findings of a traffic study. Concerns were also raised about a driveway, proposed as a one-way hotel parking lot exit onto Canada St.

Kenny said that the hotel would not be generating that much traffic, and that most of it would access the property via Amherst St. Questions were also raised about where trucks delivering supplies and banquet staging equipment would park and unload. Kenny said such traffic would be minimal Ñ and he would be willing to ask suppliers to service the hotel using 20-foot city vans rather than 18-wheelers.

Several planning board members also questioned whether there was enough parking Ñ for hotel guests, banquet attendees and hotel employees. Kenny responded that most of the banquets would be held on shoulder seasons rather than mid-summer.

He assured the board that the 132 spaces behind the hotel would be ample. Additional parking would also be available at his motel across the street, noted a board member.

Others observed that the plan didnÕ t include a 10-foot setback after the fourth story as the village code requires. Kenny’s attorney Jonathan Lapper responded that the 21-foot total setback at the second and third stories would likely fulfill that requirement. Village code enforcement officer Doug Frost said the municipality would be seeking a legal opinion on this issue.

No objections were heard about the plans for four boutique-type stores fronting on Canada St., the elegant lobby with a bistro and a grand staircase leading up to the second-floor banquet facilities, or the proposed first-story posh steakhouse.

Blanked in 2013’s Game 2, Burghers eye rebound victory at home

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com CAMBRIDGE — Cambridge High School quarterback Ethan English completed 10 of 12 passes for 166 yards and his teammates racked up 210 yards on the turf Ñ scoring all of their touchdowns in the first half — to accomplish a 36-0 shutout victory over Warrensburg on Sept. 14.

Burgher coach Mike Leonbruno said his players were lacking focus in the game.

“We weren’t ready to play off the bus,” he said. “Our guys were like deer in the headlights for the first half — It wasn’t good.”

The Burghers are having trouble maintaining a minimum roster — but so are about five other class D competitors in the Section, Leonbruno continued.

The coach said he expects his team to rebound from the loss and play a competitive game Saturday Sept. 21.

Salem, the Burghers’ opponent this Saturday, forfeited its first game this year due to insufficient players. But last Saturday, their experienced, powerful offense defeated Hoosic Valley 27-12.

The Burghers will have to devise ways to contain running back Isaac Isom who ran for 217 yards and scored all four touch-

CD TRANSFERS

downs in that game. Salem held Hoosic Valley to a mere 6 yards rushing for the contest.

Leonbruno said that in front of a home crowd Saturday Sept.

21 against Salem, the Burghers might step up and give the Generals a tough fight.

After cutting several players for disciplinary reasons just days before the season opened and losing others to attrition, Leonbruno said itÕ s been a struggle shifting the players around to make the team competitive.

“We’re now trying to find the right guys for the right spots,” he said.

Warrensburg gridiron fans are hoping their team pulls out the upset stunner they did last year against Salem, when the Burghers engineered a 78-yard ram-it-up-the-middle drive over 14 plays, scoring a touchdown with only 25 seconds left on the game clock. A Burgher running back then ran a two-point conversion to secure the win by one point in front of a screaming crowd.

From that 2012 team, quarterback Marcus Perrone is back, and so is standout ground-gainer Malachi Prosser. So if the rest of the team rallies around these two, they could pull off another exciting victory.

Leonbruno said he was looking forward to the game against Salem.

Vote ‘yes’ on Prop 5

T

here are few major employers in the Adirondack Park, and we must do everything we can to support them.

One of those is NYCO Minerals, which employs 105 North Country residents at their operation in the towns of Willsboro and Lewis.

Over the past two years, both houses of the New York State Legislature passed bills supporting a constitutional amendment approving a land swap between the state and the mining company that would grant access to more veins of Wollastonite, a mineral used in paint, plastics used in the automobile industry, brake pads and linings, ceramics, construction materials and more. This swap would allow NYCO to remain viable in Essex County for 10 more years.

Currently, the only two Wollastonite mines in the country are located in the North Country, with one site in Lewis and one in Gouverneur.

Now it’s up to voters to seal the deal. The final step in the process to transfer the 200 acres known as Lot 8 to NYCO in exchange for 1,500 acres of company-owned property and a promise to return the 200 acres back to the state as reclaimed property is a statewide referendum which will be on the Nov. 5 general election ballot.

We urge voters to approve this exchange and vote “yes” on Proposition 5.

This appears to be a win-win situation for NYCO and New York state, plus a win for environmentalists. The state will add 1,500 acres to its Forest Preserve, property that NYCO owns but only touched to take core drilling samples which came back with no traces of the mineral they sought. In addition, the 200 acres that are being loaned to NYCO will be returned as reclaimed property, making 1,700 acres of Forever Wild land returned to the Adirondack Park.

It will be good for local municipalities as the 200 acres, currently assessed at $120,000, will now be assessed at near $1 million based on the

value of the mineral deposits NYCO is seeking to extract.

It will also be good for the North Country because it will keep good jobs here. Some say NYCO can just mine up north and be content, but that would still mean the loss of 100-plus jobs from the North Country economy, jobs that are desperately needed.

The proposal has plenty of backing from nearly all sides of the issue. The measure is being supported by United Steelworkers, AFLCIO, Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages, local and state politicians and Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

It has also received the blessing of the Elizabethtown-based Adirondack Council, a leader when it comes to watching out for the environmental interests of the Adirondack Park. Council officials said the additional 1,500 acres of Forest Preserve comprises better habitat for fish and wildlife, 3 miles of streams and has considerably more ecological value than the 200 acres which would be temporarily given up. Executive Director William Janeway further added that Ò the proposed land swap now exceeds our standard for supporting constitutional amendments involving the Forever Wild clause.”

In addition to the economic benefit, this land swap will be a win for the Adirondack Park, which will receive 1,500 acres of Forever Wild lands contributing to the beauty and serenity of the region we all call home. And we get our 200 acres back from NYCO once they are done mining. The land will be filled back in and reclaimed through seeding. There truly appears to be no losers in this proposed deal.

On Nov. 5, as you are deciding who your local elected leaders will be, please take a moment to look at the state propositions and vote in favor of the constitutional land swap between the state and NYCO. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board

There is also a daily walk for patients who are gaining their strength. The nursing home has a day care service for patients and elderly folks who are bused in and return home after a fun day of activity, crafts and meeting new friends.

At least twice a month there are musical groups and entertainers who come in and perform; and each month there is a birthday party for residents born in that month.

Church services are held each Sunday afternoon by local ministers from nearby churches, and masses are held on Mondays.

There is a big kitchen with many workers who prepare three meals a day for the 80 or so residents and the workers who care for them.

There is also dental care and foot care services, with physicians and dentists who visit occasionally. Also, there’s a beauty shop and a gift shop.

Many events are planned to keep the patients happy and entertained Ñ or they can visit friends in other rooms. Days are long and some cannot move around as they would like, so itÕ s always good to see them smile when family members visit.

Hal Payne, the man who keeps everything going and is the overseer, seems to be well liked by residents and the helpers.

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden •100 years ago - Sept. 1913• Water gushes during drought

When Joe Gabel, the baker, was going to his work in Warrensburgh at 5 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 18, 1913 and was passing Music Hall block (corner of Main and Adirondack Avenue), he heard the sound of running water. This was so unusual at that present time that he moved to investigate. Peering into the window of Manzer & Hill’s barber shop he saw the precious fluid streaming from the ceiling in considerable volume. As quickly as possible, he legged it to the residence of H.H. Hill on King St. and brought him to the scene.

The source of the flood was traced to Dr. W.F. Wilkinson’s dental office on the second floor of the building over the barber shop and WheelerÕ s News Room and procuring a ladder, Hod Hill gained access to the room through a window and found the water running in a stream from a faucet. A considerable quantity of goods, mostly candy, cigars and sweaters were damaged by the water to the extent of about $75.

The damage sustained by Hill and Manzer is probably about $20.

During the present shortage of water to the village system there are several hours during the day, most of the time, where there is not sufficient pressure to force the water to second floor rooms. Tuesday was one of these days and there being no water, Dr. Wilkinson did not notice that the faucet was open and left it that way when he departed the office for the day.

For some reason he left the stopper in the waste pipe of the lavatory. The water came on during the night after 10 oÕ clock and ran steadily until it was discovered by Gabel.

Newcomb hotel consumed in fire

The Wayside Inn, a large three-story hotel at Newcomb, owned and conducted by John Anderson Jr., the Adirondack Lumber King, was destroyed by fire at an early hour the morn-

ing of Sept. 11, 1913, with practically all of its contents. The ice house and cooler, laundry and wood house adjoining were also burned. The property was valued at $40,000 and was insured for $18,000.

The fire broke out about 4 o’clock starting from a defective chimney in the kitchen. It was discovered by one of the help who smelled smoke and following the scent found the flames eating into the wall around the chimney. The people in the house were hurriedly awakened and were forced to flee from the burning structure in their night clothes.

The village has no fire protection and it was impossible to combat the flames which spread with such rapidity that the building was soon reduced to ashes. The hotel would accommodate 100 guests and was kept open year-round.

It was purchased about 25 years ago and has since been greatly enlarged and improved. The building was a wooden structure heated by wood stoves. Mr. Anderson says that he will rebuild.

Con artists at work

John Thompson and Paul Resiner, members of the Ò Mysterious MamieÓ gang, who exhibited their wonderful freak of nature show at the recent Warren County Fair in Warrensburgh and skipped out of town after two days leaving unpaid their board bill with Mrs. Grant Turner, were brought back from Fort Plain, Sept. 12, 1913 by Deputy Sheriffs Philip Connell and Lewis Mosher of Glens Falls, and lodged in the county jail. The next day they were arraigned before Justice Hodgson, convicted of the charge and fined $25 each. They had no money but promised to pay the amount as soon as they could scrape it together. Upon this condition the justice suspended sentence and turned them loose to prey upon the gullible public and accumulate the coin.

The men are also suspected of appropriating $35 which Mrs. Turner missed about the time

Gore to host Harvest Fest

There is so much to do during the fall season here in the Adirondacks, and why let the tourists be the only ones to enjoy the beauty that surrounds us? People travel hundreds of miles to come here and enjoy our own paradise.

Gore Mountain Ski Center at 793 Peaceful Valley Road in North Creek, will be hosting their Harvest Fest from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12 and Sunday, Oct. 13.

There is so much to see and do at this event — you can take a gondola or helicopter ride and enjoy the scenic view of the fall foliage or rent a bike and go for a downhill ride. Children will enjoy going for a pony ride, petting the animals, playing on inflatables or trying their skills out at rock climbing. This event is free, so check it out.

Fall Farm Tour approaching

Another great event is the Thurman Fall Farm Tour, and we have just learned that Andy Leblanc will be at Nettle Meadow Farms with a cider press. So grab some apples and watch them be turned into cider. Please gas up your vehicle before you head out, as there are no gas stations in Thurman.

There will be a pancake breakfast from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Valley Road Maple Farm. At Toad Hill Maple Farm, located off High Street, Randy and Jill Galusha will be hosting the Thurman Fire Dept. serving up their chicken barbecue dinner from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

The Thurman Quilt Show, routinely a part of the Thurman Fall Farm Tour, is now seeking quilts from the past to be shown at the event from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. If you have an old quilt you would like displayed, contact Avis at 623-9921.

Events & activities in the region

High Peaks Hospice & Palliative Care, which serves the needs of patients and families faced with end-of-life care throughout the Adirondack region, will be holding a Harvest Cruise and Silent Auction Saturday, Oct. 5 to ‘Celebrate Life!’ aboard the Lac du Saint Sacrement.

they left her house. This charge they strenuously denied and there was no proof to sustain it.

Mrs. Turner has gained some experience which may be useful to her in future dealings with strangers.

Man fined for children’s truancy

Justice George Hodgson, on Sept. 25, 1913, fined Truman Reynolds $15 for violation of the compulsory education law in failing to send his children to school. This was the second offense, Reynolds having been fined $5 on the same charge last year. The fine was than remitted but this time Reynolds will have to pay. His punishment will extend over a period of 15 weeks as in deference to his limited means. Justice Hodgson agreed to let him settle in installments of $1 each week.

Hudson River dam progresses

A mammoth dam is being built across the Hudson River at the point known as the Feeder Dam near Glens Falls. The work was begun last fall, but the contractors, the Flood & Van Wirt Co. of Hudson Falls, were greatly hindered by high water during the winter and spring. They are now making rapid progress. The dam is being built entirely of concrete.

Real estate to boost commerce

One of the most important real estate transactions of the year was completed in Sept. 29, 1913 when officials of the McMullen & Leavens Shirt Co. and Edward McSweeney, proprietor of the McSweeney House reached an agreement to exchange properties on diagonally opposite corners of Lawrence and Cooper streets, Glens Falls. The McSweeney house will be moved from its present site to the opposite corner within a short time not far from the D.& H. station, which will give McMullen & Leavens a frontage of 250 feet on both Lawrence and Cooper streets, the large factory of this company forming an L shape.

Gala wedding

Miss Maude R. Pereau, daughter of Louis D. Pereau of North Creek, was married to Paul Akey of Newcomb, Sept. 17, 1913 by the Rev. George Lize, in Glens Falls.

The bride wore a tailored gown of navy blue serge with a white beaver hat trimmed with

The town transfer station hours will remain the same throughout the fall season: Wednesday from noon to 3 p.m. Plus Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. You can purchase the re-

Chester to hold companion Garage Sale

CHESTERTOWN — People searching for bargains on collectibles and household goods Ñ or just seeking the experience of strolling about a charming country town, will find satisfaction in the second annual town of Chester community garage sale, set for Saturday Oct. 5 and Sunday Oct. 6.

The event is being held on the same weekend as the WorldÕ s Largest Garage Sale in neighboring Warrensburg, which is expected to draw 40,000 or more people to the hamlet just 12 miles south.

News roundabout

Hunting season opens Oct. 1, 1913. Chestnut trees in the town of Caldwell and at French Mountain are reported to be heavily loaded with nuts and a big crop will be ready for the harvest as soon as Jack Frost further cracks open the burrs. Sunday night was the coldest night of the season here. The mercury registered 32 degrees the morning of Sept. 15, 1913 and we had a general freeze-up, the earth completely covered with frost. Everything in gardens was killed what the drought left. There seems little use of saying anything about the weather. As Mark Twain once said, “Nothing is ever done about it.”

A very small vote was polled at the Warrensburgh primaries on Tuesday, Sept. 16, 1913 - a total of only 46 votes in both districts, a third of which were cast by the ballot clerks.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Morse of Minerva are the parents of a baby boy.

William H. Tennyson of Chestertown has purchased from J.E. Johnson of Warrensburgh a fine Guernsey heifer by Florodora King and Ballett Glenda Gretta. (Note: Jacob E. Johnson owned Meadow Brook Stock Farm in Thurman, a farm that had been in his family since 1792, where he raised the finest of Guernsey and Jersey cattle. When his father, Sanford W. Johnson died in 1890, he left his son one-fourth interest in the lumber manufacturing firm of A.C. Emerson & Co..)

Frank G. Stone has sold his drug store and ice cream parlor in Lewisville (River St.) to Truman Barber who took possession Sept. 17, 1913. (Note: This building is still standing in the parking lot of the Gristmill Restaurant.)

The Empire Shirt Co. (now the Lizzie Keays restaurant building) wants 25 operators on men’s shirts. Good wages and steady employment. Also 15 young girls to learn to make ladies’ silk gloves. Satisfactory arrangements will be made while learning.

quired trash bags either at the Town Hall or the transfer station.

Those having a difficult time getting their trash to the transfer station can contact Jim Desourdy at 623-4254 and he will transport trash for $5 per week, or pickup as needed — Desourdy only charges for the week he picks up. He routinely picks up every Saturday starting at 9 a.m.

Gail Needham has informed us that there are currently six boxes for Operation Christmas Child to be filled at the town hall, along with pamphlets and labels to designate the age group and gender of the child to receive it. Gail has asked that if you can purchase a shoebox-size rectangular plastic container at the local dollar store, this would be helpful due to the fact that there is a limited supply of the regularly used boxes. These containers serve a double purpose as after the goodies are removed, families overseas use these containers to store rice and other dry goods. Additionally, she reminds readers that other thoughtful items to add to these boxes may be a washcloth, towel, and bar of soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, hairbrush and deodorant. Filled boxes may be dropped off at the Thurman Town Hall during regular business hours.

Thurman’s local store reopens

Athol Hardware and Variety has re-opened their doors after a brief hiatus, and their hours are Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Cathy and Joe are selling variety, hardware, collectible and thrift items at this time. They have also added a small grocery line which they intend to expand as vendors become available.

To reach them by phone, call 623-3080.

On a personal note

Celebrating anniversaries this week are Loren and Joyce Eddy on Sept. 28, plus David and Kaye Newkirk on Oct. 2.

Celebrating birthdays this week are Marion Gill on Sept.

28; Jim Simkins on Sept. 29; Randy Baker on Sept. 30; Chad Rounds on Oct. 1; Riley Fisk on Oct. 2; also Stacy Beldon, Doreen Chadwell, Fred Witz and Adam Robinson on Oct. 3.

LAKE GEORGE Ñ Plans are now being finalized for the annual Lake George High School Alumni Reunion Banquet, and reservations are now being accepted.

The reunion, set for Sunday, Oct. 13 at The Georgian Resort, features a theme of The theme of “Blue Hawaii 63” — referring to the title of the prom of the Class of 1963 which will be celebrating their 50th reunion at the banquet.

Five smart growth projects eyed in Adirondacks

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Five Adirondack hamlets were chosen to adopt smart growth concepts as part of the state-funded Hamlets 3 project, and residents are invited to explore these community development ideas and offer their suggestions during a set of workshops Sept. 26-28.

Three hamlets are in Hamilton County — Indian Lake, Blue Mountain Lake and Long Lake. One is from Fulton County — Caroga Lake. And one — Au Sable Forks — straddles two counties, Clinton and Essex.

The workshops will be led by Roger Trancik, of Urban Design Consultants in Ithaca. He is a professor emeritus of landscape architecture and city and regional planning at Cornell University and the developer of the Hamlets 3 project.

“The whole idea is to plant these ideas,” Trancik said. “We’ve had workshops previous to identify the sites, and now weÕ re coming back with design proposals that we want the community to evaluate.”

During the workshops Ñ designed for interested citizens, planning boards, and public officials — Trancik will have a worksheet and breakout groups where people can sketch out their own ideas based on some of the concepts, and evaluate alternatives.

The workshop dates are listed below.

•Caroga, 10 a.m. - 1 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 26, Caroga Town Hall •Au Sable Forks, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 26, Jay Town Offices •Indian Lake, 10 a.m. - 1 p.m., Friday, Sept. 27, Indian Lake Town Hall •Blue Mountain Lake, 3-6 p.m., Friday, Sept. 27, Adirondack Museum •Long Lake, 9 a.m. - noon, Saturday, Sept. 28, Long Lake Central School This is the second phase of the Hamlets 3 project: selecting five hamlets in the Adirondack Park to conduct a series of workshops to try to generate some projects based on the model of smart growth principles outlined in the Hamlets 3 book published in December 2010. The book, “Hamlets 3: Planning for Smart Growth and Expansion of Hamlets in the Adirondack Park,Ó written by Trancik, was the first phase of the project. It built upon two studies from the 1980s: Hamlets of the Adirondacks 1 and 2. Ò In other words, weÕ re trying to put the book into action,Ó Trancik said. “The upcoming workshops are the final series of workshops in those hamlets.”

With the help of community leaders, Trancik has identified specific sites in each of the five hamlets to develop a project based on the principles and the planning model they developed in the first phase. Ò Each hamlet has a very different set of problems and conditions, and we’re trying to illustrate that,” Trancik said. “You know these principles can apply in a lot of different contexts given the regulatory environment in the Adirondack Park. There are a lot of possibilities for sound, sustainable economic investment and good planning and design that can help these communities in the future.”

The overall goal of the second phase is to “revitalize and empower Adirondack hamlets through direct training and example.”

Caroga Lake

In Caroga Lake, an illustration of the Hamlets 3 proposal show a view of central green space toward the historic carousel, lakefront and reused dance hall. A proposed hotel is to the right of the carousel.

Indian Lake

In Indian Lake, the Hamlets 3 proposal includes extending the ‘T’ intersection of State Routes 28 and 30 into a crossroads and channeling growth northward toward Adirondack Lake.

“This design creates an attractive greenway or boulevard leading to new housing development and a new Adirondack Lake public beach,” states the proposal. “This design opens future opportunities for more growth along the new corridor while still concentrating the highest density at the hamlet core.”

The main goal in Indian Lake is to create an improvement dis-

Computer-generated animation of the Jennings Pond Park in Long Lake trict in the hamlet center. Ò Indian Lake has this problem of vacancies at the intersection,” Trancik said. “So we’re trying to show, by redoing the infrastructure and extending the infrastructure in a way that could generate new development sites for residential, how that, along with commercial revitalization, in these vacant buildings.”

Blue Mountain Lake

In Blue Mountain Lake, Hamlets 3 proposes building a new hotel on Adirondack Museum property, across the highway from the museum. Ò WeÕ ve got a couple alternatives for this new sort of cultural/ recreational hotel development,” Trancik said, adding that the museum includes a lot of property beyond the museum campus. Ò So weÕ re showing how trail systems can be connected to wilderness lakes, and they want to put a boat livery on Middle Pond.

There are a lot of different ideas that fall under this.”

The hotel concept is not a museum project, according to Adirondack Museum spokesman Todd Happer. However, the museum could provide assistance in making land available and designing uniquely Adirondack features, such as exhibits and programs for hotel guests that interpret the region’s history.

Long Lake

In Long Lake, the Hamlets 3 proposal shows a rendering depicting the proposed Jennings Pond Park. The plan proposes a nodal system of traditional Adirondack-style gazebo-decks at the water’s edge linked by a nature trail. The nodes provide resting areas, fishing spots, educational plaques and small boat docking. Ò WeÕ ve developed a scheme for increasing the variety and level of activities in the open spaces,” Trancik said. “It’s a circular trail system, what we’re proposing, and small boat access.”

Au Sable Forks

“Au Sable Forks has got a very special problem,” Trancik said. Ò Hurricane Irene wiped out a huge part of that hamlet, so weÕ re showing how they can expand very close to the hamlet, still within walking distance or a short drive, on to higher ground.”

The project in Au Sable Forks will show a new residential cluster or what they call a Ò pocket neighborhoodÓ development above the flood plain.

The Rolling Hill Mill Road site offers a variety of housing types enabling diverse income levels and multi-generational living arrangements, according to the plan. Ò With ample common space, a site for a community garden, and some housing units in clusters or ‘pocket neighborhoods,’ the site arrangement engenders an open sense of community

while preserving privacy,” the plan states. “The site also features walking trails connecting with nature as well as other areas of the hamlet.”

Needs, benefits

Ò WhatÕ s happened in these hamlets is theyÕ ve all gone through this transformation from an extraction resource-based industry that has provided economic life for these places Ñ paper industry, timber, metals, tanneries and so on Ñ to a seasonal economy, from a year-round to a seasonal economy,” Trancik said. “Many of these (hamlets) are trying to extend the season so thereÕ s more economic activity for a longer period of time.”

Developing smart growth around existing hamlet centers has two major benefits: 1. It enables the community to integrate land suitable for development into the fabric of the existing hamlet.

2. It complements the protection of open space by discouraging visually unappealing and inefficient sprawl and strip development. Ò Hamlet communities should both meet basic resident needs and provide a focal point for culture, recreation, public amenities and businesses providing goods, services and employment,Ó states the project literature. “Hamlets 3 provides a process to revitalize hamlets through inward growth into under-utilized sites and responsible outward expansion.”

Smart growth principles include: form and place; boundaries; walkability and human-scale; access to nature; compact centers; energy and sustainability; jobs and housing; travel choices; visual quality; resource preservation; and collective decision-making.

Trancik and Urban Design Consultants studied more than 125 Adirondack hamlets in the 1980s, which produced two widely circulated, award-winning publications. Hamlets 1 described the Adirondack ParkÕ s centers of population, services, and commerce, as well as their needs for revitalization and investment.

Hamlets 2 outlined strategies for hamlet revitalization using examples of successful projects within the Adirondacks.

Hamlets 3 received funds from the Smart Growth Initiative of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

Results from these workshops are expected to be available online. Later in November, representatives from the hamlets will be invited to an implementation symposium at the Adirondack Park Agency offices in Ray Brook to exchange ideas and support for moving forward.

Balloon Festival from page 1

“This is phenomenal — this is the biggest crowd I’ve ever seen for the festival on a Thursday night,Ó he said, estimating a gathering of 7,500 for the opening night of the balloon festival that continued through Sunday Sept. 22.

Donahue gestured toward the gridlock on Glen St. “This is just insane — I heard that it’s a 45-minute drive from downtown to here,Ó he said. “But there are smiles everywhere.”

Ohioan says festival is the best

Joyce Willis, 73, of New Franklin, Ohio walked up to Donahue and grinned, proving his point.

“I wanted to come to upstate New York and see THE balloon festival and here I am,” she said gripping his hand. She had traveled to Glens Falls on a tour bus with other Ohioans, tourists up to the age of 93. Ò People are so kind here,Ó she told Donahue, noting that not long before, she had walked past a local man who spontaneously stood up and offered her his chair for balloon-watching.

Donahue smiled as Willis told her story.

Nearby, Mike Adolfi watched a balloon pilot give his craft a shot of propane flame, and it drifted upward. From Queensbury, he’s one of the few local residents who hasnÕ t regularly attended the area’s premier festival. This year is the first he’s experienced in 25 years. Adolphi explained his job has kept him busy, but now he’s retired.

“This is unbelievable,” he said. “This is great for the community — especially the kids.”

His wife Linda watched the balloon rise.

“They do it right, letting people get up close — and planning a lot of activities.”

Spectators appreciate the fest

looking up at giant balloons rising as massive flames were shot into other balloon envelopes to get them to inflate. Ò I look forward to fall for apple picking, pumpkin-flavored coffee, and most of all the balloon festival,” she said.

Not far away, Jill Guillet of Glens Falls — along with her husband Paul and her 9-year-old daughter Sylvia Ñ was watching balloon crews prepare for flight. Ò I grew up going to this balloon festival, she said. “For me, this is the annual kickoff for fall.”

Guillet’s employer, Northern G.I. Endoscopy, sponsors a balloon. Last year, Sylvia took a short flight.

“My ride was really cool,” she said. “It was fun.”

Laurel Johnson carried her five-year-old granddaughter Riley on her shoulders. The youngster smiled and clapped as one balloon after another took off. Ò I brought all three of my kids to the festival — and now it’s another generation,” she said.

Lisa Coutu of Queensbury danced in place to the music of the Stony Creek Band performing on the park stage.

“This is the best,” Coutu said. “Everybody’s

happy, and it’s a great family event,” she said.

“There’s nothing to not like about it.”

Communities embrace balloons

Balloonist Joe Schwerman of Queensbury watched other pilots get their craft ready for flight. Ò Look at this crowd Ñ look at all these people having a helluva good time,” he said.

Schwerman added that people in the Glens Falls region really embrace the festival. Weeks before it occurs, they hang up hot-air balloon flags and “spinners” and wear their balloon festival T-shirts. Ò ItÕ s really fabulous how people really get into this festival; how they look forward to it,Ó he said. He listened to the crowd cheer as a crew in a basket soared upward. Ò For balloon pilots, itÕ s all about pleasing the crowd,” he said.

Challenge of bad weather

That’s exactly what the balloonists did for the remainder of the weekend, after the festival moved Friday to the Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport in Queensbury. For those remaining three days, windy and rainy conditions conspired to keep most of the

Media coverage like never before

One highlight of the 2013 festival was the participation of a QVC cable channel personality Nancy Hornback, who flew out of Crandall Park Friday morning, and later live spots were broadcast from the festival and interspersed in the popular shopping channelÕ s regular programming.

Lake Luzerne Supervisor Gene Merlino, head of Warren County’s Tourism Committee told other county leaders Friday that the county was getting outstanding publicity, with QVC reached 93 million viewers in the U.S. and 250 million worldwide Ñ as well as the hundreds of thousands of viewers of central New York television channels.

“The media coverage has been outstanding,” he said, noting that the entire festival budget is $160,000, primarily donations. “We get ten times that back into our economy.”

Sunday evening, Joan Grishkot, wife of the balloon festivalÕ s founder, the late Walter Grishkot, said Walt would have been walking a foot off the ground had he seen Thursday’s record festival crowd in Crandall Park. Ò We needed a corkscrew to get through here, there were so many people,” she said. “And through the whole weekend, itÕ s been like one big happy family reunion.”

26849

John Blair of Bridgeton N.J. straightened out his balloon’s rigging prior to inflating it.

HeÕ s been a featured balloon pilot at the Adirondack Balloon Festival for more than 20 years.”This festival is the only big one I attend — it’s my favorite,” he said. “It’s the spirit, the crowd, the way pilots are treated, and itÕ s always been safe.”

Jennifer Hartung of Hudson Falls held her 10-month old son Oliver, who was wide-eyed as he was

A crowd of about 7,500 people, believed to be the Adirondack Balloon Festival’s largest ever for their Thursday evening kickoff event, gathered in Glens Falls’ Crandall Park Sept. 19 to watch about two dozen balloons soar into the sky. Balloonists and out-of-towners praised not only the acclaimed festival, but the local citizenry’s spirit and character.

balloons grounded over many of the scheduled mass launches. But many pilots inflated balloons but kept them tethered for safety, and several others allowed children inside several deflated balloons. Several also enlisted the help of dozens of children to load and unload their huge balloon fabric in and out of trailers.

Saturday mid-evening, when balloons were grounded. They set up a “candlestick glow showÓ in which 22 pilots lined up their baskets and fired their propane torches in succession.

Mark said that the poor weather was a disappointment, but the spirit of the pilots kept attendees happy. Ò Pilots went out of their way to put on a show, and it saved the weekend,” he said. “It’s been one of those years that you get lemons, so you make lemonade.”

The festival attendees put the high winds to good use — by flying kites. They also scampered up a climbing wall and youngsters played in bounce houses while the adults browsed through the wares of craft vendors.

Plans approved by the Lake George Planning Board depict a 30,000-square-foot Price Chopper Supermarket to be built just south of Warrensburg off Rte. 9 near the intersection of Prosser Road — across from McDonald’s Restaurant. The supermarket will likely be complete by early next summer, a Price Chopper executive predicted this week.

•MY

George town offices. The plans also call for another 10,600 store Ñ adjacent to the supermarket Ñ which could be built later on, according to Keith Oborne, town of Lake George Director of Planning.

“This will move rapidly,” he said, noting that town and state Dept. of Transportation approvals have been granted, and only a few formal permits are pending.

The supermarket, at 30,500 square feet, is to be about half the size of the major supermarkets in Glens Falls.

The eagerly-awaited project was stalled for months while project officials negotiated relocation of the McDonald’s parking lot exit about 30 feet north to create a symmetrical four-way intersection at Prosser Road. This redesigned Rte. 9 intersection recently was reconstructed to include sidewalks and new curbs.

It is scheduled to have a traffic signal installed within several months. The new intersection features a central left turn lane routing northbound Rte. 9 traffic onto Prosser Road.

Also, delays included negotiating relocation of high-voltage electric transmission lines running across Prosser Road. They are to be moved 250 feet or so to the southeast so they’ll span Baker’s Crossing instead of directly over the shopping center.

Warrensburg Town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty said the town has negotiated a contract for sewer and water service for the plaza, and that it was obtained at a rate favorable to the existing property owners in the Warrensburg Water District.

Designs for the plazaÕ s signage have also been approved by the Lake George Park Commission after some revisions, Oborne said.

A traffic study submitted last year estimates that as many as 420 vehicles per hour would visit the plaza.

The site is on a steep grade, and the parking lot cuts fairly deep into a slope. The bank office is to sit at the north end of the development by Prosser Road, and the grocery store and the attached larger retail space is to be at the southern end of the plot

Chester awarded funding for biofuel heating plans

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — The town of Chester has received recognition and been rewarded as theyÕ ve taken yet another step towards sustainability.

The town government was awarded $207,000 this week in federal funding toward their effort to convert to biofuel heating of their expansive municipal center. The funding announcement occurred a matter of days after a videographer and crew visited town to document the townÕ s solar power installation for public television.

Thursday Sept. 19, U.S. senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand as well as Congressman Bill Owens (D-Plattsburgh) announced that the town of Chester was awarded a $187,000 grant and a $20,000 loan through the U.S. Department of AgricultureÕ s Rural Development program to install a new pellet boiler to heat the town municipal center.

While the federal legislators touted how the project would boost efficiency and help keep senior citizens warm at the local community mealsite, Supervisor Fred Monroe said Friday that

relying on wood pellets for heat would cut heating costs while enabling the town to convert to a renewable, plentiful resource that boosts the rural economy.

“The beauty of this pellet-fuel boiler installation is that we over time create jobs locally and donÕ t send money over to the Middle East,” he said.

A new pellet-fuel boiler could be installed and be ready for the 2014-15 heating season, he said. This new equipment would replace an aging fuel-oil boiler, and would be backed up with another existing oil-fired boiler that’s relatively new.

A consulting engineer for the town has estimated that the town can save $18,000 to $19,000 per year of about $40,000 the town annually spends for heating fuel, Monroe said.

The installation is expected to save local taxpayers as much as $190,000 over the boiler’s expected life. Payments on the $187,000 loan are about $16,000 per year over 15 years, Monroe said. He noted that savings during the life of the loan — which carries 3.5 percent interest — would be about $3,000 per year, and once the equipment is paid off, savings would jump to the full $19,000 or so. He added that the savings might increase over time as oil prices rise.

Thurman man new county code administrator

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — Thurman resident Charles Wallace has been promoted to the post of Warren County Administrator of Fire Prevention and Building Code Enforcement, following the retirement of Karen Putney, who held the position for many years. She recently retired after a total of 30 years as a county employee.

Wallace, 41, was appointed to the post by the county board of supervisors at their monthly meeting held Sept. 20.

He has served as a county code enforcement officer for more than seven years.

A 1987 Warrensburg Central School graduate, Wallace grew up in Thurman, and he learned the construction trade through BOCES courses. Wallace then worked in both commercial and residential construction. Wallace continues

to live in Thurman with his wife Michele and son Rex. Putney has been credited with reorganizing the department, boosting fire inspections, obtaining better compliance and virtually eliminating the delays in building inspections and permit approvals that had occurred after personnel cutbacks were inflicted in her department after the deep recession.

Putney said Wallace was well-prepared for the post, which pays $59,500 per year. Ò ItÕ s one of the toughest jobs in the county,” she said. “But since he’s worked for years in the department, he knows what he’s getting into.”

Wallace said he wanted to keep up the Putney’s momentum.

“The position presents some challenges, but I know the policies and procedures, so IÕ m looking forward to the work ahead,” he said. Customer service is the most important issue.”

Board of Supervisors Chairman Kevin Geraghty of Warrensburg said Wallace was the right individual for the post. Ò Charlie is a long-time county employee as well as a past fire chief for Thurman,” he said. “He has a good knowledge of building and fire codes, and heÕ s been a solid employee in a tough job.”

Payback on the equipment investment could happen sooner, if the town receives an additional state grant that it has applied for, he said.

The sprawling, two-story Chester Municipal Center houses various town departments, the local library, a public auditorium, the town youth program and several business enterprises as well as the town-sponsored senior mealsite.

Because the wood-pellet boiler works most efficiently when it’s working at full capacity, the backup oil burner would be fired up during the warmer months.

Monroe said the new biomass boiler Ñ which could burn wood chips as well as wood pellets Ñ was a natural choice for the Adirondacks, which has millions of tons of wood, not valuable as lumber, that now rots Ñ and emits carbon dioxide in doing so — rather than being harvested to provide heat.

“Biofuel heating utilizes a renewable resource that’s a plentiful, inexpensive resource,” he said. “Now, there’s a tremendous amount of low-grade wood that’s left on the forest floor.”

While thereÕ s no pellet manufacturing operation now located in the area, Monroe said that if enough area municipalities and industries converted to biomass, a substantial number of goodpaying local jobs would be created.

Malone Middle school converted in 2011 to wood-pellet heating, and the school district taxpayers are saving between $8,000 and $11,000 per year. Due to a generous state grant, payback on their equipment occurred in just 18 months.

The wood-fired boiler that Chester is installing, unlike many woodstoves, burns with remarkably low emissions because the intense heat in the firebox results in total combustion. Steam, not smoke, constitutes the primary emission. The boiler installation also needs no stoking — it feeds itself with an automated auger.

Maintenance is minimal, Monroe said, noting that an ash receptacle needs to be emptied about once per week.

Monroe said he first heard about how practical biomass heating was through a presentation about two years ago for the Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board, of which he is Executive Director.

Subsequently, Monroe and Chester town board members visited the Wild Center in Tupper Lake and the North Country School near Keene to see their wood-fired boiler installations.

U.S. Rep. Bill Owens said in his press release that biofuel installations made sense in the Adirondacks and surrounding rural areas. Ò We have an abundant and renewable supply of locally-produced fuel for pellet boilers in upstate New York, so in addition to lower energy bills, this upgrade and others like it make sense environmentally,” he said.

Monroe said the town leaders appreciated the funding. Ò I think itÕ s wonderful that the federal government recognizes that wood heat saves fuel costs and helps create local jobs.”
