Adirondack Council report

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ General Election Day is approaching, bringing with it the conclusion to a variety of intriguing and dramatic 2013 campaigns for local public offices. The highest-profile race in the county this year, full of passion and controversy, is for the chief executive post of one of the towns with the least population: Thurman. Last year, Thurman Town Supervisor Evelyn Wood had received a considerable amount of praise for her

WARRENSBURG Ñ Cathy LaFond-Evans, whose family members are struggling to cope with mitochondrial disease, stood at the side of her driveway Saturday Oct. 16.

As she watched various members of St. CeciliaÕ s Catholic Church and other neighbors install a new roof on her home, LaFond-Evans said she was moved by their generosity, caring attitude and helpful spirit in responding to her familyÕ s urgent needs. ÒI Õ m very thankful theyÕ ve been so generous in helping both my family and our organization,Ó LaFondEvans said, referring to how the church has also do-

nated to her Mito Hope + Help educational initiative, which she launched after her daughter Randi died of the mitochondrial encephalomyopathy in 2010. Cathy and her other two children are also battling mitochondrial disease. Dealing with the disorder has meant heavy financial stresses on the family. CONTINUED ON PAGE 22

Adirondack Council chief discusses State of the Park

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Adirondack Council Executive Director Willie Janeway met with members of the Denton Publications Editorial Board Oct. 17 to talk about current issues a day after the environmental group released its annual State of the Park report. Members of the Denton staff were Managing Editor John Gereau, Assistant Managing Editor Andy Flynn, Times of Ti Editor Fred Herbst and Valley News Editor Keith Lobdell. They asked Janeway questions about the plan, and the following are his answers. Editorial Board: You said you support Prop 4 and Prop 5 on the ballot because they follow the Adirondack CouncilÕ s criteria for land swaps. What is that criteria? Willie Janeway: There are really six points to our criteria for a land swap. The lands that came out cannot be critical or unique ecologically. The lands coming in should be ecologically superior to the land that is going out. It should not establish a precedent. There should

be a specific use. It should be for an important community benefit, and you do not have a community if you do not have jobs. Also, it has to be a win-win for the Forest Preserve and for the community. He added, Ò NYCO has been challenging and we have not always seen eye-to-eye, but we laid out our principles and said if you meet these, then we will support it. It is going to be a big lift because people see it as a land sale for $1 million. I wish it were called the Jay Mountain Wilderness Expansion Proposition instead because that is a more representative title.Ó

EB: One of your consistent Ò thumbs downÓ themes concerned the changing of the DEC permit allowing Essex County to begin work on Little Whiteface before a study on the BicknellÕ s thrush mating patterns was completed. Why was that a concern? WJ: The concern was more about the process, and the issue was the last-minute modification of the permit. Everyone had come together, and we thought there was a deal. What happened then undermines the ability of everyone to come together. EB: What are ways to secure infrastructure within the Park without tampering with the natural habitat? WJ: We have gone into Jay and looked at the buyouts and talked about specific things that we as a Council will say, these are things that you will not have to worry about us commenting on. When community groups and environmentalists go to Albany and they go together, it turns heads. EB: You give a Ò thumbs upÓ to a merger between two school districts. Is that something you support throughout the park? WJ: We believe communities should talk with each other and look for opportunities to share services. We also realize there is a narrow set of communities, and the distances are long in the park and the schools are a focal part of the communities. We want to facilitate and offer support for these kinds of conversations. EB: Is there a responsible way to create a series of connected snowmobile trails to maintain and promote the in-

dustriesÕ importance to the economy? WJ: I hope so. I can stay optimistic about this. We have been very public that even though we sued the state over the Unit Management Plan, we do support the idea of connected trails. You manage wilderness, but you do not just lock it up and set it aside. I think that we can find places for communities where we can connect. EB: The whole locals versus downstate thing, what do you tell local residents when they ask, Ò Whose park is this, anyway?Ó WJ: ItÕ s everybodyÕ s. It belongs to all of the people of the state, and the residents of the park have a special position. As residents, they get the benefits of living in a place with clean water and clean air, but there are responsibilities and obligations that come with that as well. EB: How do you balance the needs of public use and conservation in the Essex Chain Lakes? WJ: For me, the stronger economic future for the park and the communities is in protecting those natural resources that people want to come and see. When you open it to the public, the challenge is that the state has not been very good at saying OK, thereÕ s only this many people allowed to go in there. We wanted to try and come down with a very balanced approach. EB: What do you see as the vision for the Park, short term and long term? WJ: My hope would be if we can focus on what the Park should look like in 2050, and then work backwards from that, it is going to be a

lot easier to resolve the next round of questions. What is the real vision here and how do we make some bigger changes? The politics always drives you to smaller, incremental changes, but if you just do that, the Adirondack Park continues to struggle economically and environmentally. EB: What is the biggest challenge facing the Adirondack Park? WJ: Missing the opportunity that we now have and if politics or ideology will get in the way of caring about the park. If we canÕ t, we will have missed a chance to finish the park in a way that works for everyone. I think that Gov. Andrew Cuomo is really concerned about moving the park forward. He likes it up here and he does not ignore the Adirondacks. With this governor, there is an opportunity that has not existed for years. EB: What are the main themes to the report? WJ: The theme of this report is people are now talking and working together. There are a lot of successes, but they are moderate. If we can have these discussions and disagreements yet still talk and work together, it shows how much the Adirondack community has changed. At one of the first meetings I attended, a person started talking about being upset over the APA boathouse restrictions and I thought, Ò Here we go with a get rid of the APA rant.Ó But at the end of his statement, he asked if we could help him work with them to change these. That was refreshing.

Hotelier’s website highlights Lake George area By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ Bob Risman was looking for a better way to promote his business when he came to a realization. Ò I realized I had lost control of my marketing,Ó the owner of Golden Sands Resort in Diamond Point said. Ò I was relying on websites for my marketing and had no control over the content, ad position or cost. Ò As everything went more and more to digital, I was confused,Ó he said. Ò I didnÕ t know where to best use my money for advertising.Ó Risman decided to learn more. He had no background in computers, website design or advertising, but the businessman with an art background purchased a beginner web program and started to investigate the mysteries of the internet. That was three years ago. Today he owns www.LakeGeorgeHotels.com. ItÕ s, perhaps, the most comprehensive internet site serving the region with information, links and ads for lodging, dining, attractions, activities, shopping, events and more. The site attracts Ò hundredsÓ of visits a day, Risman said, more in the summer tourism months. Ò There were very limited travel and tourism websites in Lake George,Ó Risman said. Ò I thought there was room for a website like this.Ó www.LakeGeorgeHotels.com now has 103 pages of information and thousands of elements. It is constantly being updated and expanded. Risman recently added sections on Ticonderoga and Hague. It also includes sections on Warrensburg, Bolton and Saratoga. Ò IÕ m constantly looking for things that are interesting and relevant,Ó he said. Ò When I take a drive to Ticonderoga and see something, I make a note that I want to add it to the site. IÕ m always adding things.Ó He also welcomes input from others. People who would like to see a business, attraction or anything else added to the site can contact Risman at Info@LakeGeorgeHotels.com or 6682203. The key is a successful website is its domain name, Risman said. Ò A domain name should be simple, relevant and credible,Ó he said. Ò The internet is like a highway. To get from Point A to Point B you need an automobile. On the internet the automobile is your domain name. Ò I researched the internet and found most of the web searches related to Lake George hotels, so I purchased the domain name www.LakeGeorgeHotels.com,Ó he said. Ò The site is much more than just a listing of hotels, but that domain name attracts people who then can learn all about the region.Ó Risman is always thinking about internet opportunities and has purchased 125 domain names, including www.WorldsLargestGarageSale.com and www.LakeGeorgeFishing.com Ò In the past 30 days IÕ ve built several websites,Ó he said. Ò I build them and see if there is interest. If not, I take them down.Ó The website business is not expensive, Risman said. Ò It costs $8-12 to purchase a domain name,Ó he said. Ò For $100-$150 you can build a site. For well under $200 you can have your own website.Ó Work doesnÕ t end with the creation of a website, though. Risman said sites must have material that is constantly updated and relevant. Webmasters need to also study traffic to their Brant Lake sites and make them attractive to search engines such as Google.

Bob Risman, owner of Golden Sands Resort in Diamond Point, has created www.LakeGeorgeHotels.com. It’s, perhaps, the most comprehensive internet site serving the region with information, links and ads for lodging, dining, attractions, activities, shopping, events and more.

Ò IÕ m constantly working on the website,Ó he said. “If I have five minutes here or there, I update the site. I work on it while I watch the news.Ó Risman stressed his website efforts are a sideline. His primary business of operating Golden Sands Resort, a 26-unit lodge he has owned the past 26 years. Many businesses rely on chamber of commerce and county tourism websites to promote their efforts. Risman is critical of those sites, which he believes are often unfriendly for users and often have out-dated material. There are also professional tourism websites, he said, but those can be costly. Ò An effective ad in our region can cost $1020,000,Ó Risman said. Ò An entry level ad can be $3-4,000. I donÕ t have that kind of money. I knew there had to be a better way.Ó While the internet is a valuable tool for area businesses, Risman admits it doesnÕ t solve every problem. Ò Is it the be-all, end-all?Ó he asked. Ò No. ItÕ s a piece of the puzzle. It can be a very effective tool, though.Ó Some businesses worry about competing websites, Risman said, but they shouldnÕ t. He would like to see more local sites sharing links and other information, sending traffic to other Lake George region sites. Ò ItÕ s something anyone can do,Ó Risman said of website construction. Ò Grassroots websites can be very successful. They

put marketing back in the hands of business owners and can be a boost for the entire region. Ò I believe all ships rise in a rising sea,Ó he

said. Ò Why shouldnÕ t we (business owners) support each other?Ó

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Balloon launches aren’t ecological

Dear Editor, I read with dismay about the balloon launch held to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Warren County Municipal Center. It seems inconceivable to me that anyone would not realize that a balloon launch is not a benign, colorful method of celebration, but simply littering with a built-in delay. Everything that goes up, eventually comes down, including latex balloons and the strings attached to them. They land in our beautiful lakes, forests, and backyards. They wind up entangled in power lines, trees, and, much too often, in the digestive tracts of both water and land creatures Ð invariably leading to slow, painful deaths. The balloon industry would have us believe that latex balloons are totally biodegradable. Maybe they are Ð given enough time Ð but the creatures who ingest them donÕ t have the luxury of being able to wait for months or more for them to decompose in their stomachs before they strangle or starve to death. Please see: www.balloonrelease.com/faqs.htm. The next time anyone suggests a balloon launch, please tell them in no uncertain terms that balloons that fly up to the heavens all too soon turn into earthbound trash.

Letters to the Editor

To the Editor: As we have reached the end of football season, I am retiring as coach of the senior squad of the Warrensburg Football League. I am very proud of this team as well as all the others that I have coached before them. Seven years is a long time, and it has gone by so fast. The teams have had so many great kids and great stories Ñ and there have been so many emotions I have seen and heard. It is only fitting that I thank assistant coaches Joe Sutphin and Pat Powers. Thanks and best wishes for the future to the 2013 fifth- and sixth-grade Little Burghers: Hunter McKenna, Thomas Moore, Bill Cameron, Maclane Baker, Zach Shambo, Colby Shepler, Jackson Corriveau, Zach Carpenter, Charlie Davis-Horstman, Sean Powers, Bradley Roach, Mikey Tyrell, Jordan Mallory, Robby Benson, Jesse Griffin, Jaron Griffin, Hope Boland, Reece Rundell, Darren Prosser, Damien Bills, Daniel Westcott, Garek Carter, Thomas OÕ Sullivan, Wyatt Baker, Carter Carpenter, Zach Barber, Antonio Devalle, Jackson Czuba and David Luck. Special appreciation goes out to Youth League secretary Susan Shepler who does so much for this organization, as well as the volunteers who work the concession stand all season: Darcy Baker, Jodie Curtis, Heather Turner, Laura Moore and our griller Randy Mallory. Without these individuals, our league would not exist. I wish all the children in the league the best in their future endeavors, and I hope that we have helped them become more than athletes Ñ productive and responsible members of society. May they never forget all the great experiences theyÕ ve enjoyed in the Warrensburg Youth League, and may their years in the sport provide treasured lifelong memories. Sincerely, Gary L. Baker, Warrensburg

Many challenges confront EMS squads

To the editor: A recent news article on the Lake George Emergency Squad cited Town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson asking squad captain Chris Hawley at a recent budget workshop what would happen if the town flat-out rejected the squad’s request for $251,000 for 2014 Ñ an increase of $111,000 over 2013. Hawley is quoted as saying the squad would discontinue operation and the town could hire Empire Ambulance. Maybe a paid, professional EMS enterprise would be the way to go. Empire already was awarded a “Certificate of Need” for all of Warren County. When North Warren EMS once closed its doors temporarily, Empire sent crews to cover, at a cost, until adequate volunteer staff could be found, and to give the squad

time to reorganize. North Warren EMS uses E5 Staffing, a private venture, to fill the gaps in coverage not provided by volunteers. As the state upgrades the EMS system to the national standards, area EMTs are witnessing changes Ñ some for the better, some for the worse. The bottom line is, what has happened to the volunteer? First, letÕ s look at what it takes to be a volunteer EMT. The EMT Course has three components: Didactic (120 hours) which includes practical, hands-on skills training; the Clinical/field ride-along (minimum 24 hours total of observation with a minimum of 10 patient contacts), and final testing (4-8 hours). Through lectures, interactive presentations, skills labs and simulations, individuals acquire knowledge and skills so they can properly care for patients. The cost of this training is $700 for the original course and $335 for a refresher sessions Ñ plus the cost of books. After courses are completed, squads can get reimbursed for the cost of the class only Ñ and squads, of course must pay for students who don’t finish the course, or those who donÕ t end up serving the agency. ThatÕ s not all. For further training, there is an Advanced EMT course also taught at a nearby squad at the cost of $950. The highest level of EMT is a Paramedic, a two-year college course currently not offered in Warren County. Tuition costs vary from $3,000 to $13,000 or more. Often after completion of the paramedic course, the students are hired by EMS companies for better wages than many EMS agencies in Warren County can offer. ItÕ s a job that you must love to do, being called out all hours of the night or day, with shifts being 12 to 24 hours, with most starting with poor hourly wages, primarily part-time work with no health insurance provided. So what has happened to the volunteer? As more and more volunteer EMS agencies start to pay staff less and less, volunteers ask themselves why they would give up 12 hours to volunteer for a shift, when the person on duty beside them is getting paid. ThereÕ s also the question of Ò soft billingÓ and how much patients end up getting charged for services. Both Empire and Lake George EMS pay staff, both are paramedic-certified ambulances, both bill, but with Empire responding, patients must pay for services. Lake George EMS and many other volunteer squads in the region aggressively bill insurance companies, but donÕ t pursue payments from uninsured patients after sending out a few bills. Cost verses benefit: Some agencies in Warren County staff 24/7 during the summer months when the average call volume requires the coverage, then rely on mutual aid off-season. As a taxpayer and full-time resident, I wonder why I am not as important as the part-time residents and tourists. Ideally, when an emergency responder shows up at your home to provide service, he or she is local and knows your name, your

medical issues and other vital information, because they have provided service beforehand. Unfortunately, federal labor law is a major obstacle: individuals are prohibited from providing both paid and volunteer services in the same capacity to the same public agency or other employer, so most squads donÕ t hire their own volunteers. Some use staffing agencies such as E5 or Keena Staffing as a way to outsource their employment. Warren County has talked of a county-wide Advanced Life Support (ALS) system — with paid paramedics in first response vehicles responding, which would relieve some of the cost burden of the local EMS squads. In this arrangement, the local EMS agency would be providing the ambulance for transport. This has been met with lots of opposition from some of the area squads, but something needs to change. More people are calling for ambulances, insurance is paying less and less for services, and EMTs are being required to provide more care in the field than ever. The days of “get there give oxygen and get them to the nearest hospitalÓ are out. Now we can start IVs, give medication, conduct electrocardiograms and provide many lifesaving services, many required by our medical directors. This all adds up to an increase in the bottom line. The system is a very broken; one that needs to be scrutinized. The EMS system should be examined to see if the volunteer is a plausible option or just another antiquated idea.

Adirondack Journal Editorial

Revitalize the Adirondacks with telecommuting

ccess to high-speed Internet is just as crucial to economic development today as electricity was 100 years ago. It is even more important in rural areas like the Adirondack Region, where a commute is often complicated by distance and weather. The largest economic engines of the region used to be mining, lumbering and agriculture Ñ and associated industries. But as those employers slowly evaporated, so too did jobs, and many families moved away. As a result, school enrollments have dwindled, giving way to mostly second homeowners instead of full-time residents. After obtaining high school degrees, children are often forced to trade the great quality of life here in the Adirondack Park for better-paying urban jobs. Many move away for college or military service and never return. One answer to our economic deficit is telecommuting — working from home for a company out of town, the park, the state or even the country. Telecommuting is a great way to give people a chance to live and make a living in the Adirondack Region, and companies worldwide are starting to take notice. Telecommuting is personally satisfying Ñ often allowing the worker more family face time Ñ and environmentally responsible — making it a near perfect fit for this region of New York state. To allow it, however, companies and employees need access to a reliable and comprehensive network of high-speed broadband. The problem for Internet providers such as Time Warner Cable and Charter Communications, however, is the high cost of reaching all household in remote Adirondack communities. While there are several forms of broadband available in the park Ñ such as cable, satellite and DSL Ñ fiber optic is preferred because it offers much faster data transmission speeds. But local communities can band together and help in the process, thanks to a federal program. The USDA was a forerunner in advocating for rural communities to be supplied with electricity in 1935 through the Rural Electrification Administration. Today it offers grants for bringing broadband services to rural communities. In the town of Keene, local officials brought broadband to town with the “High Peaks Education FoundationÓ project, allowing residents to connect to high-speed Internet. The goal for bringing broadband to the town of Keene was to give access to more jobs, enabling more families to live in the community and enroll more children in the local public school. The initiative is a win-win, giving children a great quality of life and new opportunities for learning and parents the ability to make a living here while spending more time with their kids. The initiative with the locally owned Internet service provider, Keene Valley Video and Internet, rebuilt the old CATV plant and expanded the network using fiber-to-the-home technology. Currently 97 percent of year-round homes in the town have access to broadband if they want it, and 80 percent of second homeowners can get broadband. Forty percent are now connected. Keene Valley Central School has also benefitted, and residents now have availability to technology like Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP), a group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over the Internet. Replacing land lines, VOIP saves money. The project cost the town $11,500 per mile, only one-third of normal industry estimates. Keene now has the most widespread network in the Adirondack Park. Others should do the same, if they can. To expedite the process, town officials should gather data on how many people are interested in the service, and how many currently have access. That information is crucial when applying for grants. There are some stigmas employers must consider before looking into telecommuting. For one, their industry must be able to manage the productivity of the employees while they are working outside of the office. Trust in employees is a major facet. One not-for-profit organization — Adirondack Teleworks — can aid with the process, connecting companies offering telecommuting jobs with employees of the region. Bill Murphy with Adirondack Teleworks said the organization hopes to educate people living in the most remote areas of the Adirondack Park, like Hamilton County, about working via the Internet. Telecommuting is certainly not the sole piece of the economic puzzle in the tourism-dependant Adirondacks, but if more broadband access is available, it could encourage visitors to stay longer while providing jobs for people who never want to leave.

Turning Back the Pages By Jean Hadden

•100 years ago - Nov. 1913• Life of ‘Lumberman Lew’

Ò Lumberman Lew,Ó by Harvester Hiram, a book recently issued from the press of the Glens Falls Publishing Company contains a story of Warren County politics and the principal character is a legendary Warrensburgh man whose identity the reader will have no difficulty in guessing. Though he is mentioned by no other name from that which the book takes its title and the name of the town in which most of the scenes are laid is given as Ò Warrensville,Ó there can be no mistake in assuming that the happenings recorded in the title, real or imaginary, took place in Warrensburgh and the hero is none other than Lewis W. Emerson. We all know him, as do thousands of people in the big world outside our little town and know that too much that is good cannot be said about his ability as a political leader, financier, manufacturer and a man of high distinction in the various walks of life he has entered. (Note: Louis W. Emerson (not Ò LewisÓ ) was the eldest son of Albert Cilley Emerson and was born in 1857. He, along with his father and younger brother, Senator James A. Emerson, were instrumental in establishing Warrensburgh as a great industrial community in the early 20th century. Elected in 1900, he was a U.S. Congressman Ñ a staunch Republican. His two terms ended in 1903. Louis Emerson is buried in the Emerson lot, front row center on the old east side of the Warrensburgh Cemetery. His small pathetic gravestone, covered with mold, is obscured by

an overgrown bush and is hard to find. Walking in the woods in the rain in the mid-1920s to survey a logging job, he caught pneumonia. He died June 10, 1924.)

Elderly lady escapes death

Mrs. Margaret Morgan, a lady of advanced years, of Diamond Point, was found by one of her neighbors unconscious on the floor of her home early on Sunday morning nearly dead from asphyxiation by coal gas. A physician was summoned and she was revived with much difficulty. She had been visiting relatives in Glens Falls and the night before when she had returned home she built coal fires in her kitchen range and when she retired, she closed the drafts. Alone in the house, she awoke in the night suffering extreme distress from nausea. She arose from her bed and made an effort to reach a window but fell to the floor before she could do so. She became unconscious and just how long it was before she was found is not known. Fortunately a window was raised about two inches and the small amount of fresh air that entered and diluted the deadly gas sufficiently to prolong her life until assistance reached her. Mrs. W.H. Straight of Warrensburgh, a niece of Mrs. Morgan, received a telephone message about the accident and immediately started for Diamond Point to care for her relative, who is indeed happy to be alive.

Glen-Athol Road renewed

The road construction project on Glen-Athol Road in Thurman should be completed by the end of this week. The Warren County Highway Department crew has worked through snow flurries this past week tearing up the old road and repaving the section between Valley Road and Bowen Hill Road Ñ which everyone here knows is likely the worst section of that road. We hear that construction on the northern end of Valley Road will be starting in late spring. Work on reconstructing the River Road is near completion and should be open to traffic in the coming week.

Operation Christmas Child underway

The deadline to fill and drop off shoeboxes full of donated items for Operation Christmas Child is Nov. 8. Gail Needham has placed pamphlets and labels related to the program at the town hall. These labels are to be used to designate the age and gender of the child to receive the items. Gail has asked that if people can purchase a shoebox-sized rectangular plastic container at the local dollar store Ñ this would be helpful because there is a limited supply of the existing boxes. These containers serve a double purpose Ñ after the goodies are removed, families overseas use these containers to store rice and other dry goods. Also, she reminds readers that other thoughtful items to add to these boxes may be a washcloth, towel, bar of soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, hairbrush and deodorant. Filled boxes may be dropped off at the Thurman Town Hall during regular business hours.

Over the fence

Parents, Grandparents and caretakers please be check your childÕ s backpack for information on early release dates coming up this week at Warrensburg Elementary School. These occasions are to make time for parent-teacher conferences during the month of November. Warrensburg Cub Scout Pack 31 holds their meetings on Tuesdays from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Methodist Church on Main St. in Warrensburg and the scout officials are currently seeking adult leaders and boys ages 6-14 years old. Boy Scout Troop 100 holds their meetings on Tuesdays from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Holy Cross Church on Main St. in Warrensburg. To register your sons in either Cub Scouts or Boy Scouts simply drop in at one of their weekly meetings, or contact John Blydenberg at 428-5231. The fee to register your child is $25 per year. Donations are now being sought for the annual local program that provides Christmas baskets for shut-ins. Items that were donated last year included canned soup, fruit and vegetables, baked goods, gift cards and handmade items. The Salvation Army is currently taking calls for appointments for their Warm the Children effort. This program provides new coats, hats, mittens and boots for children up to age of 18 Ñ Thanks to the generosity of donations received, many children will not be cold this winter. To reach the Salvation Army, call 792-1960.

Walter Gates attends funeral

Walter Gates of Bolton Landing came to North Chester to attend the funeral of his uncle, John Ferris who died recently and was buried in Federal Flats Cemetery. (Note: Walter E. Gates was the only child of Jonathan Streeter Gates and Zilpha E. Ferriss Gates. His grandfather, John Gates, was an early settler of Bolton. Walter died Jan. 17, 1919 of the dreaded influenza, a disease that broke out in 1918, the year World War I ended and decimated large populations as the epidemic eventually killed over 20 million people before it had ran its course. WalterÕ s death was said to have been a severe blow to his stricken father who never recovered from his grief and died Dec. 11, 1921, two years later. Jonathan Streeter Gates was the great-grandfather of present day William Preston Gates, Ñ Bill Gates, our famous local history author.)

History of Daylight Savings detailed

On Nov. 4, itÕ s time to turn your clocks back. This means that we gain, not lose, an hour when we turn our clocks back an hour to 1 a.m. when our clocks reach 1:59 a.m. on Sunday. The only U.S. states that do not practice Daylight Savings time are Hawaii and Arizona. The idea of Daylight Savings time was first proposed in 1895 by George Vernon Hudson and then it was implemented by German and Austria-Hungary starting on April 30, 1916. Many countries have used it at various times since then. Much of the U.S. used Daylight Savings time in the 1950s and 1960s, and its use expanded following the 1970 energy crisis. It has been widely used in North America and Europe since then. A helpful way to remember whether to set our clocks ahead or behind one hour in the changeover is to say to oneself: Ò Fall BackÓ and Ò Spring Ahead.Ó

Halloween party a success

The ChildrenÕ s Halloween Party was held Saturday Oct. 26 from 1 to 3 p.m. The crowd attending the annual event was slightly smaller than the than 75 in recent years, however this smaller-sized crowd was simply delightful. Folks had a chance to really catch up with one another, and veterans of these parties got to introduce themselves to newcomers and make even more friends. A special thank you goes out to Myrna Keeler, Nancy and Don Decker, Bob Shepler and his grandchildren for putting on yet another wonderful event for the youth in our community. Hats off to you all!

Burghers end gridiron season with valiant effort By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com RENSSELAER Ñ Warrensburg High SchoolÕ s football season concluded Friday night after the team put up a good fight against state-ranked Rensselaer High in a Section II Class D quarterfinal game, but lost 45-28. WarrensburgÕ s remarkable determination, which propelled them through the last four weeks of the 2013 season, was evident in the gameÕ s second half when they rebounded from a 30-14 deficit Ñ scoring two fourth-quarter touchdowns to come within 2 points of Rensselaer, ranked 17th in the state. One of those touchdowns was by star running back Connor Scott, and the other was from standout quarterback Malachi Prosser Ñ both have had a remarkable year, Coach Mike Leonbruno said. Ò We had all the momentum going,Ó Leonbruno said. Ò Connor gave it everything, but his leg was not doing so well,Ó the coach added, referring ScottÕ s injury that had sidelined him a week before, but had not yet fully healed. Leonbruno also noted that both Scott and Prosser got hurt near the end of the game, and were sidelined, allowing the Rams to add on two final touchdowns to seal their victory. Ò We played without both guys, but it took us out of the game,Ó he said. The coach noted that several fumbles and penalties early in the game had given the Rams an early advantage.

Leonbruno said he was proud of his teamÕ s performance in 2013, rebounding from two lopsided shutouts Ñ after losing key players Ñ to become one of the most powerful teams in the area. Ò IÕ m proud the way the team has been overcoming obstacles all season,Ó Leonbruno said. “We had five starters from 2012 not playing, we had guys quitting, a number of injuries, but a lot of guys stepped up and filled positions really well, and played tough.Ó Following the early season loss of some solid athletes, some of the other players were determined to succeed regardless of the deficit, and formed the formidable Burgher blocking crew that cleared the field for the teamÕ s runners. They went into high gear beginning on Sept. 28 with the 56-14 steamrolling of Fort Edward, which was a blockbuster turnaround from two lopsided defeats. Another main highlight of the season was the stunning last-second comeback victory Oct. 4 over Lake George, accomplished with a trick double-reverse 29-yard touchdown pass play. No less remarkable was the last game of the regular season, when the Burgher blocking crew teamed up with a long list of rookie running backs to achieve a convincing 42-20 victory over Whitehall, a gift to Scott who was sidelined with the leg injury. Leonbruno praised his seniors, and added that heÕ s now looking forward to next season, with a roster of veter-

Crafters sought for Wbg. church bazaar

WARRENSBURG Ñ A craft bazaar is being held in early December by a Warrensburg church, and artisans are now being sought to sell their handicrafts at the event.

The event features a pancake breakfast, a cookie walk and a silent auction. Ò We would love to have you join us and enjoy great fellowship and share your creativity with others,Ó said Jamiee Ross, an organizer of the event. For details, call Ross at 623-2899 or leave a message at the church: 623-9334.

ans who know what it takes to win Ñ determination and commitment. Ò Considering our small numbers and the effort our guys gave us, I canÕ t be happier about how the season went,Ó he said.

handling various issues facing the town, including straightening out town finances and investing many hours in the effort to recover from the devastating, historic 2012 floods that washed out many roads and bridges in town, and to obtain grant funding to rebuild. But she sparked considerable opposition in late 2012 when she and the town board voted against funding the local ambulance squad after the independent agency’s financial needs increased substantially, and regional emergency officials questioned the local agency’s financial viability. Wood and the town board also voted to discontinue municipal trash collection, based on the concept that local landowners who generated no trash were paying toward other residentsÕ trash collection and disposal Ñ and that funding it would cause local tax rates to soar. Retaining both the trash collection and funding for the ambulance corps would have prompted a tax increase of as much as 50 percent. Many citizens, however, lobbied for taxpayer support of the squad. The groundswell of public opposition to these actions prompted Haskell to run again, based on his pledge to renew support for the squad and reinstate trash collection. The two Republicans faced off in the September G.O.P. primary, and Haskell won handily in a 159-78 vote tally. Wood is listed on the ballot on the Democratic, Conservative and Independence lines. John Haskell is listed as the Republican candidate as well as an independent. Haskell’s ability to assume office, if elected, has not yet been settled, as legal experts are divided on the issue. Haskell was removed from his supervisor post after his 2008 conviction for Defrauding the Government, a felony. Wood has contended that Haskell is unable to hold office because of that conviction, and she and others say they are ready to challenge his ability to do so, if necessary. Legal experts are divided on the issue. In neighboring Warrensburg, Town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty (Rep., Con., Indpc.) Ñ who serves as the countyÕ s Chairman of the Board of Supervisors Ñ is being challenged by former town supervisor Maynard Baker (Ind.), who gave Geraghty a formidable opposition for the post in 2009. Geraghty is running on his record of effective leadership in both the town and county. He has been either county Budget Officer or Chairman of the Board of Supervisors in recent years, an era when he and others slashed expenses and trimmed payroll. Baker is campaigning on issues of property rights and minimal government interference. Baker has pledged to establish a hydropower station on the Schroon River, which he said would provide revenue for the town. Geraghty has said that the concept has been explored in the past, and is at this point impractical and could indebt the

www.adirondackjournal.com taxpayers. Baker has also pledged to keep the landfill open seven days a week, which Geraghty said would add to the townÕ s payroll expenses. Baker has campaigned for lower taxes, but Geraghty has said in response that despite the spiraling costs of retirement and health care for town employees, he and the town board have crafted annual town budgets since 2006 that increased merely $10,000 per year average. He said this week that the town tax rate is now less than it was when Baker was in office in 1995. In Bolton, two-term incumbent Town Supervisor Ron Conover (Rep., Indpc.), retired from the post of Director of Planning and Community Development for Rome, NY, faces a challenge by Kam Hoopes (Ind.), a former local Zoning Board of Appeals member and retired Finch-Pruyne executive. For the post of Bolton Highway Superintendent, three candidates are seeking to follow Tim Coon, whoÕ s held the post for years but is now slated to retire. William A. Sherman (Dem.), will be facing off against Matthew R. Coon (Rep.) Ñ TimÕ s brother Ñ and Anton F. Cooper (Cons.). In Lake George, Town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson (Rep., Indpc.) is running unopposed. In the contest for two town board seats, four candidates are competing. Incumbent councilman Vinnie Crocitto (Rep., Indpc.), is challenged by former county Public Works chief Fred Austin (Indpc.) retired teacher Nancy Stannard (Rep.) and Kevin J. Mulcahy (Ind.). In Horicon, relatively new town board member Matthew J. Simpson (Rep., Indpc.) is running unchallenged for the position of town supervisor, with long-time supervisor Ralph Bentley slated for retirement. But thereÕ s a three-way contest occurring for two Horicon town board seats. Long-term board members Frank Hill (Rep., Indpc.) and Robert Olson (Rep.) are facing a challenge by Georgia A. McMeekin (Ind.). In Stony Creek, long-time Supervisor Frank E. Thomas (Rep.) is also unchallenged. Incumbent Johnsburg Town Supervisor Ron Vanselow (Dem., Cons.) is facing off against with Curtis C. Richards (Ind.). For the post of Johnsburg Town Clerk, present Deputy Town Clerk Jo Ann Smith (Rep., Ind.) is challenged by Sharalee Falzerano (Dem., Ind.). For two seats on the Johnsburg Town Board, Republicans Katharine Nightingale and Arnold Stevens are being challenged by Robert Nessle (Ind.). For Johnsburg Town Justice, thereÕ s a three-way race this year between incumbent Vincent Schiavone (Rep.), Howard E. Tucker Sr. (Rep.) and James W. Haker (Ind.). In Queensbury, itÕ s a political free-for-all, where thereÕ s a nine-way race this year for four at-large seats on the Warren County Board of Supervisors. Competing are incumbents David J. Strainer (Dem., Cons.), Matthew Sokol (Rep.), Mark Westcott (Rep., Cons., Ind.), and Bill Mason (Dem., Cons.) Ñ challenged by present Queensbury Town Supervisor Ron Montesi (Ind.), W. Dean Boecher (Dem.), William Brown (Dem., Cons.), Rachel Seeber (Rep., Ind.), and Douglas N. Beaty (Rep., Ind.). For the position of Queensbury Town Supervisor, John Strough

Adirondack Journal - 13 (Dem., Cons.) is unopposed. For Queensbury Town boardÕ s Ward 4 seat, competing are incumbent Tim Brewer (Indpc.) challenged by former at-large county supervisor William Van Ness (Rep.) who won the G.O.P. primary vote and endorsement in September, plus Jennifer Switzer (Dem.), who serves as the chief financial officer of EDC Warren County. Running unopposed for two seats on the Thurman Town Board are contractor Mike Eddy (Rep., Ind. ) who has voiced support for Haskell, and newcomer Daniel E. Smith (Rep., Ind.). These two defeated incumbent Charles Bills (Rep.), in the September primary election. For Thurman Highway Superintendent, incumbent Patrick S. Wood (Rep.) is challenged by Howard Cook (Ind.). For Warren County Judge & Surrogate, incumbent John S. Hall Jr. (Dem., Ind.), a native of Thurman and former Warrensburg attorney, is challenged this year by Ted Wilson, a court attorney for Washington County Court. (Rep., Con., Indpc.).

Students clean up river trash By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ A halfdozen Warrensburg High School students cleaned trash and litter floating in a highprofile area of the Schroon River recently, and the act was apparently an expression of community pride. Students of John BurnsÕ Environmental Science class and Rex ReynoldsÕ Social Studies class Ñ both 12th grade level Ñ jointly accomplished the cleanup Wednesday Oct. 16, and they hope to make a return trip soon for further work. Their efforts were purely volunteer, and have no im-

pact on their grades, the teachers said. The teenagers rode canoes and kayaks to a bend in the river Ñ visible from Rte. 9 bridge on the Warrensburg town line Ñ to a backwater where a mass of trash has caught in a backwater for many months. There and elsewhere along the riverbank, they collected 250 pounds of refuse and hauled it away for proper disposal. Although dozens initially volunteered for the project, only a half dozen were able to participate due to after-school commitments including jobs and school sports, Burns and Reynolds said. Ò When the cleanup idea was proposed, a lot of hands shot up to volunteer,Ó Burns said. Ò We had quite a bit of response,Ó Reynolds added. Among those participating were Mike Baker Jr., Colt Ovitt, Rich Ovitt, Kayla Catone, Cash Mosher, and Lance Bedell. Ò These students wanted to accomplish something good for the environment,Ó Burns said. Ò Through such projects, they get a better understanding of what it means to be active citizens of their community.Ó But the students of BurnsÕ science classes already have demonstrated environmental awareness and community activism. TheyÕ ve held holiday wrapping-paper drives that were so successful, they prompted the school to re-institute a comprehensive paper recycling program. Plus, the students have been encouraging students and teachers to recycle other items, including containers. Also, BurnsÕ classes have been active in linking and marking trails up Hackensack Mountain in an effort co-sponsored by Glens Falls HospitalÕ s Healthy Places program and the Warrensburg Town Board. Recently, the students been

constructing a bridge that carries a path linking nature trails behind the school with a trail up Hackensack. Warrensburg Central Social worker John Friauff has been a co-leader of the project. This latest project of cleaning up the Schroon had some surprising results, Reynolds said. Retrieved from the river was an odd assortment of items, most of which probably had fallen out of watercraft or floated away from beaches, he said. The booty including 30 flipflops, 15 Bic lighters, 10 tennis balls, five unopened cans of beer Ñ plus the 100-pound carcass of a 32Ó television set. During the cleanup Oct. 16, Lance Bedell said he wanted to clean up the river Ñ not only to improve the scenery for local residents, but so tourists could appreciate the riverÕ s natural beauty as they passed over the bridge. Ò I driven past here many times and seen all the trash Ñ ItÕ s nasty,Ó he said. Ò I also paddle down the river and like to see it natural.Ó Richard Ovitt said the cleanup effort would offer an enjoyable experience to share with friends. Ò I had spare time, and it sounded like a fun project,Ó he said. Ò Also, its a challenge to figure out how to dislodge the trash without tipping over the kayak.Ó Burns said he was impressed that the students, without prompting, had demonstrated they cared about the environment Ñ and their community. Ò They really Ô got intoÕ the idea of the cleanup,Ó he said. Ò TheyÕ ve shown they want to Ô buy intoÕ their community Ñ they really want it to look good.Ó Burns added that he and Reynolds want to encourage this spirit amongst the students last a lifetime. Ò WeÕ d like them to be community activists in the years to come,Ó Burns said.

Pug party Ñ

up for babies when you take them anywhere,Ó she said, describing the food, water, costumes, and treats that accompany her troupe. One family of pugs enjoyed a reunion at the Pug Party & Parade, costumed as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves Ñ well, at least six of them. Jill Metcalf had her pug Ò GwenÓ dressed up as Snow White in a princess gown, and six of GwenÕ s seven pups Ñ who now belong to other Queensbury residents Ñ were garbed as the dwarves. MetcalfÕ s husband George had his pug Ò DiegoÓ impersonating Prince Charming. Stephanie Carota, one of the owners of a toddler pug, said that the pug parade was idea for the canine reunion. Ò The dogs are having a great time,Ó she said watching them cavort, causing their costumes to go awry. Kathleen and Ted Wilson of Queensbury accompanied another of GwenÕ s offspring, Ò Bentley,Ó to the pug parade. Bentley was a gift to WilsonÕ s son Luke, 13, because of his scholastic accomplishments. Ò This is awesome because BentleyÕ s getting together with his parents again,Ó Luke Wilson said. The pug-fest was also a family get-together for Kelli McDermott and her daughter Courtney McDermott and CourtneyÕ s boyfriend, Eric Markson of Utica. They collaborated on constructing an Old McDonaldÕ s Farm float complete with a barn built out of Duplo blocks. Starring in the storybook scene were CourtneyÕ s Boston-Terrier cross Ò ObieÓ dressed as a goat, MarksonÕ s Plott hound Ò LeftyÓ representing a scarecrow, and KelliÕ s pug Ò MelvinÓ impersonating a cow. This was KelliÕ s second year at the event, she said. Ò We enjoyed it so much, we had to come back.Ó Courtney McDermott added her thoughts. Ò Pugs are such clowns Ñ they like to show off,Ó she said. Ò Getting so many together like this, you canÕ t help but smile.Ó Other families getting into the canine costume caper were members of the Pasco family of Livingston, NY. Vicki Pasco and her daughter Alyssa, 15, jointly created a Batmobile Ñ with a lot of cardboard, black paint and duct tape Ñ for their little black pug Ò Fenway,Ó who they dressed up as superhero Robin. Their brown pug Ò MollyÓ masqueraded as Batgirl. Ò I love Batman, so it was really fun,Ó explained Alyssa. Ò With all the creativity thatÕ s displayed here, itÕ s awesome,Ó

her mother said. Ò And everyone here truly has a love of pugs.Ó While others were rookies at gussying up their dogs, Carol Ornoski of Queensbury was a veteran at it. She dressed up her pug Ò McKennaÓ as Minnie Mouse, complete with big ears, fanciful dress and dainty shoes. Ò McKenna loves to get dressed up Ñ she craves the attention,Ó she said. Ò I really enjoy this Ñ itÕ s not a get-together of show dogs, itÕ s regular pets. One of the most patient pugs at the party was Ò Matsui,Ó whose owner dressed him up as a foil-wrapped baked potato, ready for serving. The pug listened to her owner Margaret Assman of Saratoga Springs crack a joke at his expense, but he didnÕ t wince. Ò Matsui looks like a potato anyway,Ó Margaret said, noting that her dogÕ s costume could be used again next year

he could be an opened bag of Jiffy-Pop popcorn. Ò I really enjoy this party Ñ some of the costumes can get so ridiculous Ñ I love the silliness of it all.Ó Matsui wasnÕ t the only patient pug. Ò Lexi,Ó a black pug owned by Tina Dell of Albany and her daughter Carly Dell, 10, was dressed up in a grass skirt and bikini top and wheeled around in a small wagon bearing a beach scene complete with a faux palm tree, sand, surfboard, and beach ball. Ò This is incredible,Ó Carly Dell said, gazing at the costumes the dozens of canine contestants were wearing. Ò There is so much creativity Ñ nearly all the dogs are the same breed, but they look so different.Ó Kristie Style, a member of the Lumber Jills roller derby team of Plattsburgh, needed no costume Ñ she wore her competitive gear. But her pug Ò ZeroÓ wore a black-and-white striped shirt — as did her husband Adam Style —with the identification Ò RuffereeÓ on the dogÕ s back. The event hosted more than a dozen vendors and displays of community groups. Joyce Houck and Judy McConnell manned a booth for the North Warren Chamber of Commerce, conducting a raffle, while Dan Freebern and Russell Houck passed out dog treats. Not far away, Lisa Giknis of the Dog Cabin store in Lake George tended a booth while her husband and son entered their dog in the competition. Her offerings included Harley hats for lap dogs and peanut butter dog treats along with more practical canine supplies. Julie Moffitt of Bakers Mills and her daughter Ariel, 15 entered with their dog as masquerade ball partygoers. Ariel wore a prom gown, and their pug Ò AngelÓ wore a velvet and lace party dress. Julie Moffitt wore a men’s suit-and-tie getup. They won second place in the Ò PrettiestÓ division. Ò This event is a great way for pugs to meet each other, while we pug owners get together, swap tales and make new friends,Ó Moffitt said with a smile. At the conclusion of the competition, event organizer Pam Morin was all smiles as she recorded the winners. Ò This was a perfect day for pugs and outdoor fun.Ó she said.

Bolton’s Best Chili

The public has tasted and theyÕ ve cast their votes. Market Place Steakhouse & More was the winner of the recent chili cook-off sponsored by the Bolton Landing Chamber of Commerce. They will be awarded the wooden spoon trophy in the near future. The Market Place offered three different offerings of chili for the tasters to choose from. A close second and third place winner was the Boathouse Restaurant whose chili was served at Adirondack Cotton Co. and Serendipity Boutique. Aside from traditional chilis, chicken chili was served up by Adirondack Trails, and two vegetarian versions were provided by McDonald Real Estate Professionals. The Chamber would like to thank all the tasters, all the businesses that provided chili and Kelly OÕ NeilTeer, owner of Serendipity Boutique, for organizing this event, the first of its kind for Bolton.

Several dozen residents of the Warrensburg-Thurman area — many of them members of St. Cecilia’s Catholic Church — worked together Oct. 18 -19 to install a new roof on the Warrensburg home of Cathy LaFondEvans, whose family members are battling a rare genetic disorder that has crimped their finances. Photo by Thom Randall

Roof replacement from page 1

The group of more than a dozen workers not only installed a new roof, but replaced flashing and re-routed a furnace flue that was causing the roof to leak. The work was accomplished over two days. Another 12 or so people prepared and provided food for the workers, and others donated materials and the use of construction equipment. Richard Ouellette spearheaded the effort. Sister Linda Hogan of St. CeciliaÕ s initially decided the work should be undertaken Ñ LaFond-Evans declined her offer, but Hogan won out. Pausing from working on the roof on Saturday, Joe Davies, a new full-time resident of Thurman, said he was pleased to be part of the effort. ÒI tÕ s always community oriented up here,Ó he said of northern Warren County. ÒPeo ple are just great.Ó Putting aside his tools for a moment, Bud York of Warrensburg said it was a matter of appropriate payback.

ÒC athy is a really sweet woman and sheÕ s always helping people Ñ so itÕ s good to give back,Ó he said. ÒWh en people heard about this project, they jumped right on it.Ó Among those assisting on the project mid-day Saturday were Tom Grace; Pat Gormley; Scott Thomas; Ron Boccieri; Joe Norton; Joe Davies; Bud, Cheryl and Jared York; Mike, Norm, Steve and Joan Ouellette; Jeff Lehman; Roland LaFond; Brenton Southwick; David and Violet Spatz; Violet Schryer; Jimmy Canniff; Joe Norton; Glenn Lunt; Danielle Robichaud; David and Danny McNeil; Fred Witz; and Richlene Morey. Baking food were Ellen Barlow, Sandra LaFond, Lorry OÕ Connor, Ellen Hickson, Betty Kusky, Violet Spatz, and Dorianne Cunniffe. Others assisting in various ways were: Jack Toney, Mark Morey and John Alexander. Years ago LaFond-Evans built most of her house on Milton Avenue Ñ but the leaking roof, considering all she is facing, was too much to handle, she said. ÒT his is what used to happen in the old days, neighbors coming together to help others,Ó she said with a smile.
