This Week LAKE GEORGE

By Thom Randall

Girlfriends’ Getaway honored

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE „ Not only Warren County Tourism Office officials, but Lake George Regional Chamber of Commerce personnel said this week they are ramping up their efforts to draw Canadian visitors to Lake George and Warren County.

Michael Consuelo, Executive Director of the Chamber, returned last week from the three-day International Travel & Tourism Show in Montreal where he spent eight hours per day talking up the Lake George area to thousands of people passing by the ChamberÍ s booth, located in the U.S. Pavilion at the show. He was accompanied by Jephson Hilary, president of the ChamberÍ s board of directors. ñ It was really gratifying to hear from so many of the people that they already knew about Lake George,î Consuelo said. ñ The show was an effective venue to promote Lake George and tell people there are so many things for visitors to do here year-round.î Consuelo said that about CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

Wood outpolls Haskell in Thurman

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com THURMAN „ In a dramatic turnaround from the crushing defeat she endured in the Republican Primary, incumbent Thurman town supervisor Evelyn Wood topped former town supervisor

John Haskell by a vote of 251 to 228 in election night vote totals.

Absentee ballots will be deciding the outcome. Fifty were sent out, and as of Nov. 4, 40 were returned.

Wood said after the polls closed she was happy with the outcome, particularly with the very high percentage of the

eligible voters casting votes, compared to other towns or regions across the state. ñ This is a really high turnout and a real compliment to the people of Thurman,î she said. ñ IÍ m awed and thankful for all the support.î Last year, while Wood had earned CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

GirlfriendsÍ Getaway is held annually in May over MotherÍ s Day weekend at The Sagamore Resort.

The event focuses on wellness, beauty and fashion, friendship, fitness, inspiration and adventure. The Getaway was an immediate success in its debut year, 2010.

Lake George Chamber of Commerce Vice President Janice Fox presented the award to Waller at the Lake George ChamberÍ s year-end banquet held Oct. 22 at the DunhamÍ s Bay Resort.

Fox, proprietor of the Adirondack Cotton Co. boutique in Bolton Landing, has helped nurture the event, co-sponsored by Warren County Tourism Department.

Waller said this week that idea for the GirlfriendsÍ Getaway stemmed from her attending and enjoying a womenÍ s wellness weekend held years ago at The Sagamore Resort. She and others affiliated with the Chamber decided to revive the concept and expand it. Waller and friends then worked to develop a lineup of activities that have included everything from kayaking, hiking and scavenger hunts to tai chi, zumba yoga, nutrition and consciousness-raising sessions.

Annually, between 100 and 200 women travel from the Capital Region, Manhattan and all over the northeast U.S. to participate in GirlfriendsÍ Getaway.

Among those giving inspirational talks during the Getaway weekends have been WNYT television news personality Benita Zahn and YNNTV health and fitness reporter Marcie Fraser, a noted motivational speaker.

Waller praised The Sagamore for their collaboration and hospitality in hosting GirlMember of BBB & NYSSA friendsÍ Getaway, and she and Fox credited the local businesses for their similar outreach in providing discounts, receptions, door prizes and special offerings. ñ So many people have gotten involved, embraced the event in an effort to stimulate off-season business in town,î Fox said. ñ The goal is to highlight the area and the wonderful, unique Main Street we have in Bolton.î Fox added that at least 30

businesses involved in the Lake George Chamber participate in the event as vendors or exhibitors, and that many restaurants extend special deals and various motels and inns extend discounted room rates for Getaway attendees.

This next year, featured presenters at GirlfriendsÍ Getaway are Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Brent Ridge, known internationally as The Fabulous Beekman Boys. The couple stars in a reality television show that chronicles their challenges as novice farmers in upstate New York. Waller said she is also negotiating with a star of a popular television series to give a presentation for the 2014 edition of Girlfriends Getaway.

In accepting the award, Waller deferred credit to the workshop presenters that have participated. ñ We have such a great number of talented people in our area,î she said. ñ We donÍ t have to go very far to get great talent to keep the weekendÍ s presentations exciting and fresh.î Waller, an Adirondack Journal columnist, added that her greatest satisfaction has come from Getaway attendees being introduced to the beauty of Lake George and the many amenities of the region.

“I hear first-hand that so many women who have attended fall in love with the area, and bring their families back here „ thatÍ s what we want to hear,î she said.

Lake George Chamber of Commerce Executive Director praised Waller, Fox and others whoÍ ve worked to make Girlfriends Getaway such a success. ñ I applaud them for their efforts,î h e said.

Waller said she was pleased with the STAR award „ on behalf of all those who work on coordinating the event. ñ ItÍ s really an honor for our event to be recognized as having an impact on local tourism,î she said.

LaPoint’s variety show set for Nov. 15 and 16

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG „ For decades, Florence LaPoint and her volunteers have bought, wrapped and delivered toys during the holiday season to children from low-income families. SheÍ s also bought food and clothing at Christmas time for children whose families are facing financial crisis. Meanwhile, there’s been a vibrant custom of presenting minstrel and variety shows in town.

During the last 10 years, these two traditions have intersected, delighting local audiences.

Since 2002, LaPoint has produced the Warrensburg Variety Show, raising money for Operation Santa Claus, which provides the food and clothing to families during the holidays.

Next weekend, the show returns for its 10th edition. The Warrensburg Variety Show, which mixes songs, dance, show tunes and comic routines, will be held at 7 p.m. Fri. Nov. 15 and Saturday Nov. 16 at Warrensburg Elementary School.

Commemorating the townÍ s Bicentennial, the production is titled ñ Our Hometown USA.î Performers are primarily from Warrensburg and Thurman, joined by entertainers from nearby communities.

Providing music for the show are Janet Cousineau on piano, Lane Schermerhorn on drums and Kevin Ramsey on bass.

The show has three segments. The first features songs of yesteryear such as ñ Carolina Moon,î and ñ AlexanderÍ s Ragtime Band,î sure to spark memories.

The second section focuses on WarrensburgÍ s community spirit and showcases country music, featuring Hoddy Ovitt on guitar and Jim Davis on banjo and fiddle.

The final act, “One Nation Under God” pays tribute to veterans with such songs such as ñ This is My Country,î ñ The Statue of Libertyî and ñ Salute to the Armed Forces.î Admission is $8 and tickets are available at Willows Bistro in Warrensburg, from cast members, and at the door. For more information, call LaPoint at 623-3531.

Warren Co. leaders approve 2014 budget with slim levy hike

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY „ Warren County Supervisors voted unanimously Friday Nov. 1 to endorse a $154.3 million budget that raises the tax levy across the county by 1.57 percent but dedicates about $600,000 more to upgrading county roads and $300,000 to combat invasive species in the countyÍ s waterways.

The budget represents a $2.6 million increase in appropriations over 2013, when the ñ pass-throughî payments of sales tax revenue to municipalities are excluded.

The increase in the tax levy is well below the amount allowed under the state tax cap, which in Warren CountyÍ s case would have allowed an increase of 2.26 percent.

The 2014 tax levy increase countywide means that a property owner with a 200,000 house will have to pay an average of $28.80 more per year.

The county tax rates for the individual municipalities within the county, however, will be varying dramatically, due to equalization rates and apportionments „ factors out of the countyÍ s control.

The 2014 county tax rate is expected to rise 3.84 percent in Warrensburg and Stony Creek, but decrease by 2.89 percent in Chester and Horicon and decline by 1.37 percent in Johnsburg.

The county tax rate will likely be going up only .81 percent in Thurman, and 1.29 percent in Queensbury.

The budget also allows for 2 percent raises for almost all officials and non-union employees.

The tax rates were kept stable, despite an increase in health insurance premiums and boosted fuel costs, as well as a shrinking tax base. The total full value of the countyÍ s properties is $10.38 billion, compared to $11.2 billion in 2011. Health insurance costs for the county are expected to increase by more than $900,000 next year. Other factors driving increases are $850,388 in higher wages, and $264,000 more in federal projects.

Sales tax revenue is budgeted to be $4.1 million higher next year „ a 1.25 percent increase over the current year „ in line with increases in collections already encountered.

The budget calls for the use of $2.3 million of surplus funds, including $1.5 million in general fund surplus. Total county reserve funds, however, are expected to remain at about $11 million.

Warren County Budget Officer Frank Thomas, who serves as Stony Creek Supervisor, predicted that if present trends continue, the county could have a zero tax increase within the next few years. ñ This budget contains a very good news story if we can stay on course,” he said. “The county’s finances will allow us to steer money into worthwhile programs, while maintaining a zero percent increase —And we can always look for additional efficiencies.î

Warren County Budget Officer Frank Thomas, who’s also Stony Creek town supervisor, announces details of the 2014 budget Nov. 1 to the assembled county supervisors, who voted unanimously to approve the spending plan.

Part of the reason for improved finances, he said was due to the lowered benefit contributions because the state downsized its generous pension program for newly-hired public employees. With the 6 to 7 percent turnover in county employees, the new ones will be receiving less generous pensions, and Warren County will be contributing less money toward them.

Thomas warned, however, that the rosy financial outlook depends on the sale of the Westmount Health Facility, which is expected to generate escalating deficits over the next several years. ñ If the sale of Westmount doesnÍ t go through, we could be looking at huge deficits next year,” Thomas said.

The 2014 budget was hailed by a number of county supervisors. Ward 5 Supervisor Bill Kenny said he would have preferred to see the sales tax revenue budgeted higher to be more realistic, but he added the spending was in line in the budget as presented. ñ This is a tremendous accomplishment,î he said.

Queensbury Supervisor-at-large Mark Westcott, a frequent

critic of county spending, particularly at the airport, also expressed positivism. ñ I am very impressed,î he said, noting that the increase of $600,000 on road work was in line with the opinions of members of a political action group he co-founded, the Upstate NY Taxpayers Advocates. UNYTA members responding to a survey recently named road repair as a top priority for the county.

Westcott added, however, that he was disappointed that the appropriations for the county airport hadnÍ t been lowered further than the 10 percent decrease in appropriations called for in the 2014 budget.

Responding to many compliments, Thomas deferred credit for the balanced budget to others. ñ The credit for this budget goes to the county employees who made the sacrifices and to the department heads that made the cuts,î Thomas concluded as the vote to approve the budget was made.

Include the next generation in Veterans Day

T

his Monday, Nov. 11, is Veterans Day „ a day set aside to recognize and honor those who served this great nation, past and present, in times of both war and peace.

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary suspension of fighting, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War. Observed as Armistice Day beginning the following year, and Nov. 11 became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938.

Following the unprecedented mobilization of troops during World War II and then the Korean War, Armistice Day was changed to Veterans Day, dedicated to all American veterans „ living or dead „ who served this country.

With more than 21 million American veterans „ nearly 15 percent of the population „ most of us have a close relationship with someone who has served. Some have family members, spouses, children or parents who are or once were in the military. Still others holding this newspaper have served themselves.

We want to take this opportunity to wholeheartedly thank these individuals for their selflessness, courage and dedication to our homeland.

You are all heroes.

But those words really donÍ t go far enough.

To truly show our gratitude, we should all take the time to attend a Veterans Day observation. More importantly, we should include our children in the ceremony.

They need to know that Veterans Day is much more than simply a federal holiday off from work and school. They need to know that the sacrifices made by previous generations are what allow us to enjoy the freedoms we so often take for granted today.

We are a proud country with a long history of defending our rights and way of life. We should instill that national pride in the next generation.

Attending a local observance, experiencing a 21-gun salute, hearing the somber playing of ñ Taps,î will all go a long way toward accomplishing that goal.

Observations around the region will not be hard to find. Here is a quick rundown of observances planned in our readership area: •In Warrensburg, American Legion Post 446 will be conducting ceremonies at 10:45 a.m.

Nov. 11 at the Warrensburg Cemetery off Hudson Street. The Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4821 of Warrensburg is holding its veterans day

ceremonies at 11 a.m. in Frederick Flynn Memorial Park on River Street.

•In Chestertown, the Chestertown-based American Legion and VFW are combining forces for a Veterans Day ceremony at 11 a.m. Nov. 11 at the new Veterans Memorial Plaza in front of the Chester Municipal Center.

•In North Creek, the Adirondack Tri-County Nursing and Rehabilitation Center on State Route 28 in North Creek will host a Veterans Day memorial service at 2 p.m. Nov. 11. The service is open to the public.

•In Crown Point, the First Congregational Church is holding its third annual Veterans Recognition and Appreciation as part of its 9:30 a.m. worship service on Nov. 10.

•In Ticonderoga, veterans will be honored during TiconderogaÍ s seventh annual ñ memory walkî Nov. 10 at 1 p.m. in the west Pine Section of Valley View Cemetery. Also in Ticonderoga The Ti Elks will hold a Veterans Day dinner 4:30-7 p.m. It will be free for all veterans and donations will be appreciated by non-veterans.

Fort Ti will also recognize veterans with a living history event, Saturday, Nov. 9, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

• In Wadhams, the Veterans Organizations of Essex County, through the Veterans Cemetery Committee, are conducting an observance of Veterans Day at the Essex County Veterans Cemetery on Nov. 11, beginning at 11 a.m.

•In Keene, American Legion Marcy Post 1312 will conduct a traditional Veterans Day Ceremony at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11 at the Veterans Monument Park on Norton Cemetery Road.

The ceremony will be followed by the formal dedication of the granite WWII Monument and a memorial granite bench.

•In Willsboro, the ninth annual Veterans Day Appreciation Program will be held Nov. 11 at 4:30 p.m. at the Willsboro Central School Cafeteria with dinner to follow.

•In Keeseville, VFW Post 1505 will host a dinner for veterans Nov. 11. The event is free for all vets and a donation will be asked for all guests. A ham dinner will be served at 5 p.m.

•In Plattsburgh, the Clinton Community College Veterans Club will hold a Veterans Day Observation Nov. 11 at the college beginning at noon and SUNY Plattsburgh Army ROTC is holding an open house from 11:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. in Sibley Hall, Room 309 C. If you have the opportunity, be sure to pay it forward by including children in Veterans Day ceremonies. And, donÍ t forget to thank a vet this Monday for his or her service. „ Denton Publications Editorial Board

WARRENSBURG „ The headquarters of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Warren County now has a new sign, thanks to local volunteers and $2,000 donation of materials

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden •100 years ago - Nov. 1913• Boy let off easy

John Hanson, 15, the lad who killed the aged Patrick Cushing at Willsboro last summer, ñ because the old man wasnÍ t any good,î was sentenced by Judge Pryke, at Elizabethtown, to the New York Catholic Protectory until he became of age.

The youth had been brought from that institution to do the work about the Cushing farm as Mr. Cushing was in his dotage and had suffered from some strokes. The boy mixed Paris Green in water and gave it to the old man to drink, causing his death. (Paris green is a very poisonous copper and arsenic compound used long ago as an insecticide and dye.)

After being accused of the crime the boy took to the woods, but his capture was easy. The Grand Jury indicted him for the murder, but in view of his youth and the extreme age of the old man, District Attorney LaDuke accepted a plea of guilty of manslaughter in the second degree.

Halloween, come and gone

Highways hereabouts, HalloweÍ en harbored horrible hobgoblins, hideously humorous, hiking hurriedly hither - hollering hilariously happy hordes. This tumultuous triumph took the town tipsy, topsy-turvy on HalloweÍ en night.

Samhainophobia is an intense fear of Halloween. Many elderly widows suffered from this particular ailment a century ago as it was the custom of the time for rowdy adolescents to tip over outhouses.)

Fire scare uptown

Live coals in an ash barrel at the rear of John G. HuntÍ s residence in upper Main St., Warrensburgh, started a lively blaze Nov. 17, 1913 which reached an ice house and caused considerable excitement before it was extinguished with several pails of water. The ice house was slightly damaged but fortunately the flames were checked before they attacked the nearby house.

Home at last

Daniel Bowen Hoag, a brother of David Hoag of Warrensburgh, who went west 36 years ago and has of late years made his home at Broadgate, Iowa, has sold his farm and all other property at that place and returned to

Warrensburgh to spend his declining years in his native town. He arrived Nov. 5, 1913 and his son, Francis Hoag accompanied him. He will also remain here.

Former Stony Creek girl dies

Mrs. Catherine Murray Evans, 77, died Oct. 20, 1913 in Gloversville after a lingering illness.

She was born in Stony Creek and lived there continuously until 16 years ago when she went to Gloversville to live with her daughter, Mrs. Alvah Fosmire, where she died. She leaves two sons, Guy and Fred Evans. Her brother George Murray lives in Stony Creek.

Lively entertainment

Joe Miller, manager of the Empire Theatre, Glens Falls, is negotiating for the appearance there in the near future of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw and her all-star vaudeville company. The Empire Theatre is currently presenting Hi HenryÍ s MinstrelÍ s with 25 famous minstrel stars culled from the cream of the profession. Matinee seats are 25 and 35 cents. There will be a free street parade.

(Note (Evelyn Nesbit, considered AmericaÍ s first “pin-up girl,” posed for some of the leading artists of the era and she was the nationÍ s leading magazine model before she turned to a career on the stage. Nesbit achieved additional notoriety when her multi-millionaire husband Harry Kendall Thaw shot and murdered New York socialite Stanford White out of jealousy.

Thaw owned Villa Marie Antoinette in Bolton.

The murder was the scandal of the era. By 1913, she was appearing in vaudeville. Fifty years later the movie ñ The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing,” told a fictionalized account of her story.

The Empire Theatre on South St. opened in 1899 and presented for public entertainment some of the greatest names of the day. It was a big occasion for Warrensburgh people to travel down to the city on the trolley for a grand eveningÍ s entertainment.)

The origins of Veterans Day

Veterans Day honors the service of all U.S. military veterans and marks the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. U.S. President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed Armistice Day for Nov. 11, 1919. Congress passed a concurrent resolution seven years later on June 4, 1926 requesting that President Calvin Coolidge issue another proclamation to observe Nov. 11 with appropriate ceremonies. A Congressional Act approved May 13, 1938, designated Nov. 11 as a legal holiday: ñ a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated as ï Armistice DayÍ .î In 1945, WWII veteran Raymond Weeks had the idea to expand Armistice Day to celebrate all veterans, not just those who died in World War I. Weeks led a delegation to meet with Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, who supported the idea of National Veterans Day. Weeks led the first national celebration in 1947 in Alabama and annually until his death in 1985.

Veterans Day is being celebrated on Nov. 11, so what will be your contribution to the effort of world peace? Will you go out of your way to be nice to someone who has not been nice to you?

How about saying ñ Helloî to every person you meet, just to let them know you care? Will you be teaching any of this to your children?

A heartfelt thank you to all veterans and have a great Veterans Day!

Thurman Town Offices will be closed Nov. 11 for Veterans Day. Thurman residents should be aware that the Town Hall has new hours for the food pantry: 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. on the first Monday of the month, and on all other weeks, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Tuesdays.

Is Halloween for kids only?

By Evie Russell

Special to the Adirondack Journal NORTH CREEK „ Halloween at North Creek Nursing Home was a nice surprise for residents when many of the nurses and aids, secretary and kitchen help, laundry girls and nearly all of the dedicated morning staff came to work in some very cute and original Halloween attire.

The residents sure enjoyed their first view of the care giver who gave everyone a big laugh. In their rooms for early a.m. breakfast, carrying a tray, in walked a witch all dressed in black with a big tall hat, in other rooms trays were delivered by a pink bunny; or a hillbilly; or Ellie Mae Clampett, or one in a monster mask ... and many more original cover ups ... which gave the residents a few laughs and set the pace for a Happy Day. The girls in the office got in on the fun, too. One had a truck driver uniform, and there was a happy witch with a big orange hat, an Indian Chief, a ballerina, a SNAP ON Tool Man, Rosie the Riveter, a devil costume, a Nun, a hippie and so many more.

They did not neglect their jobs and still found time to bring delight to all residents of the Home.

A nice surprise at lunch time for the folks who ate in the dining rooms were dozens of small school children parading through in costumes from Johnsburg School.

To top the day off some visitors and day time workers brought their small children, in their cute little outfits, to visit many patients.

Letters to the Editor Lyme disease is serious, easily misdiagnosed

To the editor: Lyme Disease is a growing threat to public health in the Northeast U.S. New York, Columbia and Greene counties have the highest rate of infection with the illness per capita in the nation.

I am a transplant from Long Island where a lot of people I know have contracted Lyme disease and have been completely misdiagnosed by their doctors „ told they have illnesses from psychiatric disorders to rheumatoid arthritis or dozens of others „ There are over 300 illnesses that mimic Lyme disease.

I am fortunate to have a doctor who actually listens to me and is willing to think ñ outside the box.î I hope your readers are as fortunate. A simple blood test can help diagnose Lyme disease „ if you are experiencing unexplained symptoms that resemble the flu or joint pain, have the test administered.

Even after being treated with antibiotics upwards of 25 percent of Lyme disease suffers still experience symptoms of the affliction, months or years after they contracted it.

We just donÍ t know enough about this most debilitating disease. I can assure you that there are many people suffering from “Lyme flare-ups” that don’t even know they have the disease.

Also, people have the impression that you must see a bullÍ seye rash on your body to show you have contracted Lyme disease, and this is just not true. All I can say is talk to your doctor if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms.

We are lucky to have at least two people representing us regarding this issue, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and Congressman

Chris Gibson. Their offices have been working closely with the federal Center for Disease Control to figure out how to control this disease. Last year over 300,000 cases were reported in the US, 10 times the number reported in prior years „ This sounds like an epidemic to me. Get yourself checked out along with your children. Why go on suffering? And above all „ always check your body for ticks.

I have been coping with Lyme disease, and I can assure you itÍ s no walk in the park.

Bob Olson honored by building trade group HORICON „ Local resident and contractor Robert Olson was recently named to the New York State Builders Association Hall of Fame for his achievements and service to the organization.

The Association’s officials note that Olson was the first rural small builder that ascended through the groupÍ s ranks to become President of the state Builders Association, which he did in 1998.

Also, Olson was one of the founding members of the NYSBA Research and Education Foundation, and held the position of CEO of the Foundation from 2007 to 2011. He collaborated with NYSBA leadership in gaining support for the foundation and further its mission and boost its scholarship program.

His rural small-town background brought an appreciation

of the value of association membership to smaller firms in the building industry, Association officials noted in a statement they released this week. His induction to the Hall of Fame formally occurred Sept. 20 at the AssociationÍ s gala in Niagara Falls.

OlsonÍ s commitment to the building industry is demonstrated through his influential involvement on the local level as well, the officials said. A member of the Builders and Remodelers Association of Northern New York since 1987, Olson served as President of the group from 1991 to 1993 and again from 2001 to 2003.

Olson was appointed to the state Fire Prevention & Building Codes Council by Gov. George Pataki in 2004, and he held the position until 2010. Officials of both the state Builders Association and its foundation express their gratitude for the hard work and dedication that Bob has displayed throughout the years.

Bob is currently serving on the Horicon Town Board, a position he has held for 12 years. Formerly, he was a member of the town planning board, for which he served as chairman for part of the tenure. He and his wife Jean „ a former Supervisor of Horicon „ have been married 52 years and have two children, six grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Lake George project

North Country Telephone Exchange Directory (518)

from page 1

As the boats cannot cruise in the shallower areas of the lake due to risk of damaging the precision devices suspended from their hulls, those portions will be surveyed by aircraft equipped with custom-designed bathymetric light detection and ranging equipment.

This initial aerial survey will last for about three days, depending on weather conditions. The planes will fly slowly at an altitude of about 1,600 feet above the lake in a repetitive pattern to map the lakeÍ s underwater contours.

The three-year, ambitious Jefferson Project was announced June 27 by representatives of the three entities collaborating on the effort: RPI, IBM and the Fund for Lake George.

The project involves placing sensors — both fixed and robotic — around the lake that will measure water currents, pollutant levels, sediment deposition, presence of micro-organisms, weather changes and water chemistry. The data will then be transmitted around the clock to supercomputers that will analyze the data in real time to track and analyze the lakeÍ s health „ and predict its future.

The massive amount of data collected in a single day in this new research effort will equal 10 times the amount of data collected over 30 years by the scientists of RPIÍ s Freshwater Institute, who have been studying Lake George continuously during those three decades.

This world-class technology, which will be producing real-time visual modeling, is to help scientists and environmentalists understand the natural processes of aquatic organisms and their interaction with pollutants „ including road salt and stormwater runoff „ as well as invasive species, the experts have said.

Scientists have said they expect the project to serve as a model for environmental research around the world.

Describing the groundbreaking multi-million-dollar, three-year scientific study of Lake George in a June press conference is Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute President Shirley Ann Jackson, flanked by (foreground): IBM Research Senior Vice President John Kelly III and (right): Fund for Lake George Executive Director Eric Siy. RPI, IBM and The Fund are partners in the project that involves collecting massive amounts of data on lake currents, organisms and pollutants — and relaying it to supercomputers for real-time analysis to forecast the lake’s future health. The study officially gets underway this week with lake contour mapping efforts.

Election results from page 1

praise by many for straightening out town finances and working long hours to direct the effort to recover from the 2012 floods that devastated the townÍ s infrastructure.

But she sparked strong opposition in late 2012 when she and the town board voted against funding the local ambulance squad which had uncertain finances. Wood and the town board also voted to discontinue municipal trash collection to keep taxes from soaring.

The groundswell of public opposition to these actions filled the town hall with angry citizens, prompting Haskell to run again. The two Republicans faced off in the September G.O.P. primary, and Haskell won with a dramatic 159-78 vote margin.

Regardless of the grim tally, Wood didn’t flinch — she predicted that the independents and Democrats in the General Election would overcome that huge vote gap.

Democrats undoubtedly made the difference in WoodÍ s election-night victory, as 154 people cast votes on the Democratic line „ and there are only 158 Democrats registered in Thurman, which has a total population of only 1200.

Andy Templeton, leader of the newly revived Democratic Party, said late Tuesday night that he had phoned nearly every Democrat in town. ñ I didnÍ t tell them how to vote, I just urged them to get out and vote „ and show New York State that Thurman takes voting seriously,î he said. ñ IÍ m ecstatic about the results.î TempletonÍ s wife, however, lost her last-minute write-in campaign for town board that apparently garnered 115 votes „ but her opponents, Michael Eddy and Daniel Smith „ who ran aligned with Haskell„ received 237 and 275 votes respectively, and they will be taking their seats on the board in January. Incumbent Thurman Highway Superintendent Patrick S. Wood (Rep.), easily defeated challenger Howard Cook, 347 to 77.

In neighboring Warrensburg, Town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty fought back a challenge from former town supervisor Maynard Baker, by a vote of 594 to 309. Baker gave Geraghty a formidable opposition for the post in 2009. Geraghty ran his record of effective leadership in both the town and county. He

25,000 people passed by the Lake George ChamberÍ s booth, which features brochures, leaflets, and a continuously-playing video of the regionÍ s amenities. ñ ItÍ s natural that Canadians come to our area and partake of the scenic beauty and the shopping,î Consuelo said, noting that many of the Canadian tourists headed for New York City stop off in Lake George. ñ We need to be more visible, and we need to be promoting more in Montreal.î In the 1950s through the 1980s, Canadian tourism was considered a key element to the success of Lake George businesses, and many

has been either county Budget Officer or Chairman of the Board of Supervisors in recent years, an era when he and others slashed county government expenses and trimmed payroll.

Baker had campaigned on preserving property rights and minimizing government interference. He had also pledged to establish a hydropower station on the Schroon River, which he said would reduce the tax burden „ an idea that Geraghty said was not feasible due to its high expense „ and lack of grant money.

Baker had characterized Geraghty as a spendthrift, which angered Geraghty, as he had reduced the tax rate to a level lower than it was many years ago. ñ IÍ m pleased that citizens understood my hard work over the last four years for both the town and county,î he said. ñ They saw through rhetoric and voted for results.î For Warren County Judge & Surrogate, incumbent John S. Hall Jr. (Dem.), a native of Thurman and former Warrensburg attorney, defeated Ted Wilson, a court attorney for Washington County Court. In this tight, high-profile contest, Hall polled 7,830 to WilsonÍ s 7,230. Wilson supporters had questioned whether Hall was too selective in issuing pistol permits; HallÍ s supporters cited the sitting judgeÍ s experience and record on the bench.

In Bolton, two-term incumbent Town Supervisor Ron Conover withstood a challenge from Kam Hoopes, a former local Zoning Board of Appeals member in a vote of 606 to 260. Conover said it was ñ humblingî to go through a campaign challenge. ñ ItÍ s a pleasure and privilege to serve as supervisor of Bolton,î he said.

For the post of Bolton Highway Superintendent, Democrat William Sherman achieved a slim 446-419 election-night margin over Republican Matthew Coon, brother of present superintendent Tim Coon whoÍ s retiring. Independent candidate Anton Cooper finished a distant third with 17 votes.

In Lake George, Incumbent Vinnie Crocitto and political newcomer Nancy Stannard „ a retired teacher „ beat out former county Public Works Chief Fred Austin and Kevin Mulcahy for two open town board seats. Crocitto and Stannard received 683 and 530 votes respectively, against 468 for Austin and 304 for Mulcahy.

Stannard said she had campaigned hard, door-to-door, and that when in office, she’ll pursue her goals, while listening to the concerns of citizens.

accommodations went out of their way to attract them, including giving their properties Canadian names. By the 1980s, Canadian tourism constituted up to one-quarter of tourism in Lake George, and the Warren County Tourism Department had a representative stationed year-round in Montreal promoting the village.

Besides Consuelo, Tanya Brand of Warren County Tourism Office also was in Canada last week to promote the region, meeting with tour operators in the tour convention Bienvenue Quebec held in Saguenay, Quebec. ñ I met tour operators from all over Canada, one-on-one to promote our area,î Brand said, adding that she spent about 10 minutes with each tour operator in a rotating session conducted by the convention officials. “It was like speed dating.î

ñ I want to make sure we upgrade our water and sewer infrastructure before we buy any more property,î she said. ñ IÍ ll try to keep everything fiscally sound and work with who’s now there on the board.î In Horicon, long-term board members Frank Hill and Robert Olson were re-elected, turning back a challenge from Georgia McMeekin. The votes were 397, 302 and 199, respectively.

Incumbent Johnsburg Town Supervisor Ron Vanselow (Dem., Cons.) defeated Curtis C. Richards (Ind.) 418 to 150. For the post of Johnsburg Town Clerk, present Deputy Town Clerk Jo Ann Smith (Rep., Ind.) beat Sharalee Falzerano (Dem., Ind.) by a vote of 342 to 221.

Town Justice Vincent Schiavone received 374 votes to defeat his challengers, James Haker (110 votes) and Howard Tucker (64 votes).

For Town Board, Republican Katharine Nightingale (428 votes) and Arnold Stevens (404 votes) outpolled Democrat Robert Nessle (186 votes).

In Queensbury, no less than nine candidates were vying for four at-large seats on the Warren County Board of Supervisors.

Rachel Seeber (Rep.) a newcomer to politics, apparently worked hard at campaigning. She topped all candidates, including incumbents, with her 3,486 votes. Mark Westcott (Rep., Cons.), who’s made a name for himself by fighting government mandates and spending, came in second with 3,327 votes. Incumbent Republican Matthew Sokol polled 2,860, followed by former local school board member Douglas Beaty (Rep.) with 2825 votes.

Two hard-working incumbents, David Strainer and Bill Mason, both Democrats, have apparently lost their seats in the Republican sweep. Strainer had worked with the Republican board majority for years, earning their respect for his keen attention on the issues. Trailing were Dean Boecher (Dem.) with 1,846 votes, present Queensbury Town Supervisor Ron Montesi with 1,449, and former board member William Brown (Dem.) with 1,367.

For the Queensbury Town board Ward 4 seat, seven-term incumbent Tim Brewer lost his seat. In the Election Day tally, Jennifer Switzer (Dem.), who serves as the chief financial officer of EDC Warren County was the apparent winner with 961 votes, edging out former at-large county supervisor William Van Ness (Rep.) who polled 948 votes.

She said that she also pitches Warren County at the Ontario Motorcoach Association conferences. ñ WeÍ ve had a great response „ a number of the operators are currently doing a lot of business with us,î she said. ñ Canada is an important market for Warren County.î Brand added that one of the approaches the county tourism department takes is to persuade bus tour operators to not just stop by on their way to and from New York City, but to stop for two nights and enjoy the area attractions, rather than just have a meal and leave. ñ We are focusing internationally on the Canadian and Chinese markets,î she said. ñ We continue to pound away at Canada, because we know many tourists are traveling past us toward other destinations,î she continued, noting that many tour operators arenÍ t aware that Warren County has more than 300 motels.

Kate Johnson, Director of Warren County Tourism, said her departmentÍ s personnel at-

tend various Canadian consumer and trade shows. The county also sponsors a television advertising campaign throughout the year, primarily in Montreal, highlighting each seasonÍ s activities in the Lake George region.

In addition, the department runs a series of Facebook ads, targeted to women, primarily promoting shopping in Warren County to Canadians, she said. JohnsonÍ s department just last week finished producing a YouTube video touting local shopping, and itÍ s likely to be aired soon. The department also recently hosted travel writers from across the border. All year long, she added, plenty of brochures promoting Warren County are picked up in duty-free shops near the Canadian border.

Responses from lodging properties to a county occupancy tax survey indicated that about 6 to 7 percent of visitors staying overnight in the county are from Quebec and Ontario, Johnson said.

The outdoor gym class

U

nless parents learn how to ñ pull the plugî on electronic entertainment, the ï wired generationÍ may never learn how to enjoy a host of healthy entertainment options that are typically available outside their own back door.

The list of activities is extensive and they can provide participants with the essential skills for a life long physical fitness regime.

However the time frame for creating the next generation of skiers and boarders, anglers and hunters, runners and swimmers, paddlers and bikers is not strictly limited to a key period.

Although studies have identified the fourth grade/ age 10 years as the critical time frame for introducing children to lifelong recreational habits, kids can develop the skills at an earlier age, or at a later age.

The need for life skills education is especially amplified in rural areas, where structured recreational outlets have always been rather limited.

This situation is obvious in many North Country communities where youth centers are few, organized sports are limited and the availability of a central ï hangoutÍ is often nonexistent.

Some of the smaller communities no longer support a local diner, movie theatre, arcade, bowling alley or even a recreation center.

Even without an obvious lack of quick, easy and responsible recreation, bored kids are eventually going to find some sort of recreation outlet, for better or worse.

Fortunately, most North Country residents have a positive recreational outlet as close as their own back yard. However, these outlets are limited to those who have both the skills and the tools to pursue them.

There isnÍ t a lack of interest. A recent Outdoor Recreation Participation Study conducted by the Outdoor Industry Foundation indicates that: ñ AmericansÍ participation in active outdoor recreation remains strong; in fact 72 percent of Americans, age 16 and above, participated in some form of active outdoor recreation last year.î

www.adirondackjournal.com

Fortunately, there are a lot of other studies to back it up. Check out the highlights from some recent studies: • Unstructured free play brings cognitive, social and health benefits to children.

• Unstructured free play in the outdoors brings a host of benefits to children ranging from being smarter, to more cooperative to becoming healthier overall.

• The study builds a strong case for the importance of unstructured free play in the out-of-doors for all age groups, and especially young children. The authors cite cognitive benefits from play in nature, including creativity, problem-solving, focus and self-discipline.

• Social benefits include cooperation, flexibility, and selfawareness. Emotional benefits include stress reduction, reduced aggression and increased happiness. Children will be smarter, better able to get along with others, healthier and happier when they have regular opportunities for free and unstructured play in the out-of-doors.

• Being outdoors is important to our overall health and the evidence reveals that contact with natural surroundings promotes healthier social behavior and lessens social dysfunction, improves resilience, helps to alleviate stress, promotes optimal psychological functioning, improves recovery from physical trauma, and reduces mortality.

However, a study that really caught my eye details the benefits of outdoor skills education and wildlife-related outdoor education. It indicates outdoor skills education supports our health, learning, and lifestyle. In addition, the authors note a significant relationship exists between outdoor skills education and lifelong participation in fishing, hunting and other outdoor pursuits.

In a review, the authors discussed evidence regarding the benefits of outdoor skills education, including improved interpersonal and interpersonal skills, environmental awareness, physical, mental, and social health; the ability to learn and concentrate and stewardship ethics in regard to hunting and fishing.

The study authors also noted indicators of recruitment and retention in these outdoor activities, which include early life experiences, mentorship, and structured programs that are culturally appropriate and more holistic and ecologically oriented.

The studies didnÍ t really shed any new light on the subject, they simply verified what most outdoor travelers already know.

The time we spend outdoors is healthy, relaxing, reinvigorating, calming, stress reducing and provides good clean fun.

At least two New York state politicians have seen the light, and the legislation theyÍ ve proposed appears to be supported by the recent research.

Assembly bill, A4345, sponsored by Assemblyman Will Barclay, R-Pulaski, and Senate version S4933, sponsored by Sen. John Bonacic, R-Mt. Hope propose ñ An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to hunting, fishing and

November 9, 2013 outdoor education in high school physical education coursesî The proposed legislation, which is supported by the New York State Conservation Council, would allow school districts the option of providing a curriculum of hunting, fishing and trapping education as a component of high school physical education courses.

Although it does not require school districts to implement the outdoor curriculum, it does allow them to offer outdoor skills as a component of the physical education program.

It is interesting to note that studies indicate the percentage A future, Varsity Bass Fishing athlete shows of high school athletes off his prowess with the long rod during a who continue to regu- session of off season training! larly participate in team sports following graduation remains extremely low.

The likelihood of regular participation in team sports diminishes exponentially after a former high school athlete takes on the responsibilities of full time employment, marriage, children and family duties, etc.

Within five years of graduation, the vast majority of high school athletes will never again participate in a regular routine of team athletics.

The sole exception to this trend are high school athletes who participated as members of a Varsity Bass Fishing team.

However, the percentage of athletes who regularly participate in outdoor pursuits such as skiing, hunting, fishing, running, biking, paddling, hiking, climbing and similar outdoor pursuits continues to grow. Such pursuits are often referred to as life skills, since they can be pursued on an individual basis for life.

These are athletic events that do not require additional team members or referees. There is no need for scorekeepers or groomed fields, nor time clocks or bleachers full of cheering spectators or the usual cheerleaders.

Typically, the playing field for such non-traditional athletes is an actual field, or a forest, stream, lake or even a rock ledge.

These are the fields for athletes who have learned to stay away from the courts. They prefer to play in special arenas where the only spectators are fish, fowl or game.
