thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Emerging from a lengthy closed-door session during its first few minutes in power, the new Lake George Town Board decided in split votes to replace two town Planning Board members and fire the town’s entire financial staff.

The town board voted 3-2 Tuesday, Jan. 3 to replace Planning Board members John Carr and Joe Mastrodomenico, with new appointees Kevin Mulcahy and Patricia Marek.

The board also voted 3-1 to terminate the town Comptroller Kathy Gleason, and replace her with Wendy Baird — as well as eliminate the positions of full-time senior account clerk and part-time account clerk.

The three new board members representing the Lake George Citizens Group Party in the 2011 election voted in favor of the shakeup of the financial staff.

The two Republican board members left over from the prior board didn’t vote for CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Thurman - Adirondack Journal - 3

Thurman highway workers recall raging floodwaters

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com ATHOL — Finishing off a home-cooked meal in the Thurman Town Hall, local highway workers reminisced about the mayhem they had to deal with seven months ago, when pounding rains and resulting floods washed out virtually every road in Thurman and swept away entire bridges.

As they talked, the town highway employees enjoyed forks full of ham, pot roast, mashed potatoes, velvet cake and other fixings cooked up and donated by people whose safety and access they work all year long to protect — as a gesture of thanks.

The occasion was the annual highway workers’ luncheon held Thursday, Dec. 29.

Thurman Superintendent of Highways Pat Wood recalled the progression of the events on Saturday, May 28.

Wood got a phone call early that Saturday, alerting him that roadway shoulders on Mud Street had washed away.

Wood and several other workers — Ed Brown, and Tim and Bill Arnold — responded and worked in the rain to rebuild the shoulder there, constructing “riprap,” or a wall of boulders, secured to withstand flooding.

As the group was finishing up their work, Mother Nature gave them an ominous warning, Wood said.

“It started raining like hell again,” he recalled.

Concluding the work, the four went home. As Wood was making dinner that evening he got a lot of phone calls, describing roadways that were washed out.

“I went out to Mud Street and saw that all the work we’d just done was gone — it was all washed away, plus a whole lot more.”

Pat said he called every

member of the road crew, and they went out to survey damage throughout town, based on the flurry of phone calls.

The crew members found bridges washed downstream, replaced by gaping canyons. They found culverts swept away, leaving perilous drop-offs. Elsewhere, asphalt roads were turned into raging gravel riverbeds.

Most all their initial work was setting up barricades to divert traffic.

In what has since been called a miracle, not one motorist careened into the gorges or gullies left by the floodwaters.

After a few hours of sleep, the round-the-clock road repair work began, first to restore access to those totally cut off by the floodwaters and later to rebuild the less critical roadways. Nearly every one of the dozens of town roads were washed out at one place or another.

Granted a tribute luncheon Dec. 29 at Thurman Town Hall were highway workers (clockwise, from left rear): Bruce Dingman, Bill Arnold, Ed Brown, Pat Wood, Jeff Ackley, and Tim Arnold.

Women’s retreat planned WARRENSBURG — The Glen Lodge in Warrensburg will host the new Adirondack Women’s Empowerment Retreat Jan. 20 through 22. The event is intended to be a weekend getaway focusing on rejuvenating one’s mind, body and soul, organizers said this week.

Integrating a variety of yoga sessions, enlightening projects, and journaling exercises, the weekend is designed to help women uncover strategies to make 2012 a year to discover, or rediscover, the path from possibility to reality, Life Coach Annie Gregson said.

Gregson will lead participants in “envisioning and clarifying” workshops and freelance writer Beti Spangel will lead reflective and empowering journaling exercises.

Yoga classes suitable for all levels will be led by Debbie Philp of True North Yoga.

Kim Repscha will providing health-conscious meals and a masseuse will be available for appointments throughout the weekend.

Early enrollment is recommended. For the weekend agenda and registration information, see: www.truenorthyogaonline.com or call the True North Yoga Studio at 810-7871.

Stewart’s breaks charity record

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Stewart’s Shops’ 25th annual Holiday Match program concluded this week with a record dollar amount contributed to local children’s charities, company officials said.

Wood and others recalled that a dozen or more college students were stranded at Camp Dippikill for three days, while they worked hard to get at least one lane passable with a temporary gravel surface. Many others elsewhere were stranded, and hundreds faced treacherous travel, or inconvenient, lengthy detours to get to civilization.

For days, the Thurman town highway workers were joined by about 90 others from Queensbury, Warrensburg, Chester, and Lake George, worker Bruce Dingman said.

Before they sat down to the tribute luncheon Dec. 29, the workers were finishing up rebuilding a bridge on Sky-Hi Road, a 10-week project. Wood said the crew hopes to have it open by Jan. 10, Wood said.

“Now, we’re hoping for an easy winter — so the money normally spent on salt can go towards more roadwork,” he said.

Resident Jessica Christoffersen, whose mother baked a ham dish, looked at the highway workers talking about the great flood of Memorial Day weekend, which caused an estimated $7 million in damage.

She said all the townspeople deeply appreciated their work — not only for the response to the May flood, but for clearing the roads of snow so efficiently each winter “All this food is cooked up with love,” Christoffersen said, gazing at the entrees set up on a counter in the town hall.

Town Board member Rebecca Hitchcock, who helped with the tribute luncheon, noted that in a

The convenience store company and ice cream manufacturer has announced that Stewart’s customers contributed $700,000 in the fundraiser. Stewart’s is matching that amount, with a total of $1.4 million to be distributed to local children’s charitable organizations in Spring 2012.

“It is impressive that people, in these difficult economic times, have been so generous,” Stewart’s Foundation President Susan Dake said.

The Holiday Match program is based on customers making contributions in the 328 Stewart’s Shops, located in upstate New York and western Vermont, from Thanksgiving through Christmas Day. The money raised benefits children’s organizations directly in communities where Stewart’s Shops are located.

There are no administrative costs and 100 percent of the funds collected and matched go to benefit worthy charities.

After this year ’s funds are distributed, over $16 million will have been allocated since the program’s inception.

The $700,000 that Stewart’s is matching is 31% of the $2,250,000 donations budget for Stewart’s Shops in 2012.

“With the need growing each year and fewer companies able to supply funding for organizations, our $2.25 million will assist thousands of local organizations in 2012 — It’s the right thing to do,” Dake added.

Children’s charities can still apply for funds from the Holiday Match Program. Applications are available in all Stewart’s Shops or online at www.stewartsshops.com. Applications must be submitted by Jan. 31 to be considered.

McCoy reflects on his election loss, politics, future

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Frank McCoy tossed a digital clock, a necktie, some photographs and a promotional leaflet from his recent unsuccessful campaign to be re-elected Lake George town supervisor into one of three cardboard boxes lined up on his desk.

He glanced over at a set of architectural renderings of a trade show and welcome center that he had envisioned to be constructed from the concrete-and-steel skeleton of the former Cavalcade of Cars building in the West Brook Park.

McCoy had lobbied hard for the Cavalcade bones to be saved, and rebuilt into a West Brook Park welcome building and trade show center with Adirondack-themed architecture.

His efforts were defeated, as was his quest to continue his tenure in office, by the Lake George Citizens Group, whose primary objective after being formed was to abandon the Cavalcade building redevelopment. The group members criticized his administration at virtually every town board meeting, then worked tirelessly to oust him from office. In November, he and two longtime board members were defeated, and the citizens group’s slate was elected, forming a new majority on the board.

As he packed up his mementos and personal items on Dec. 28, McCoy looked at the architectural drawings and grimaced.

“They wanted to tear down that sturdy structure, then after it’s gone, they’re supporting the construction of a new $1.21 million Adirondack-style welcome center at the park after they argued so hard for ‘open space,’” he said with a tone of bitterness in his voice of the Citizens Group. “It was a matter of politics, after all — now I understand that they were out to get me from day one.”

Rather than focusing on frustrations, McCoy talked about his accomplishments as he packed up to vacate the office.

“I cut taxes two years in a row in an era that all expenses were increasing,” he said, noting that taxes had increased steadily before he served as Lake George Town Supervisor.

McCoy credited much of the cost-cutting to town Superintendent of Highways Dan Davis for cutting down overtime.

McCoy also said he and the board worked hard to restore financial stability to the town, stockpiling a $700,000 surplus at the end of his tenure, after facing a $300,000 deficit upon taking office two years earlier.

“People didn’t vote on the issues in November, they responded to scare tactics,” he said. Citizens Group representatives have disputed such claims, saying they weren’t out to “get” anyone, they were only advocating transparent and

responsive government — which McCoy has said he provided all along.

Losing the fight to save and restore Cavalcade or demolish ended up with McCoy and his board divorcing the West Brook project, selling out their financial stake to Lake George Village.

The action, criticized by his political opponent, may have ended up saving taxpayers as much as $250,000 initially and $70,000 per year, McCoy said. ”Down the road, the project will cost money to maintain,” he said. “The park will still be there and it will be very nice, but the town taxpayers won’t be on the hook for it.”

Other highlights of his tenure, McCoy said, included making the town budget more understandable to the public, properly identifying line items and publishing the financial plan on the Internet.

Other top achievements, he said, were bringing the Exit 21 Corridor plans and lining up grant funding, and taking action to protect the lake by being the first municipality in the area to enact a phosphorus ban.

The other accomplishment, he said, was successfully lobbying to use occupancy tax revenue in fighting infestations of Asian clams, so the spiraling costs of the effort wouldn’t be shouldered by local taxpayers.

McCoy also cited his battle to protect the Americade motorcycle rally from the state’s ever-increasing rental charges, that local officials considered exorbitant. His and others efforts ended up with the commitment from Americade — the area’s biggest event — to remain in Lake George for at least five more years, and not relocate elsewhere.

McCoy said he was unfairly associated with the previous administration of Lou Tessier, who served in the office for

decades and had an autocratic style. Tessier, the town G.O.P. chairman, anointed McCoy as his replacement in 2009.

“A lot of people said my political career was doomed from the beginning,” he said. “Because many people thought Lou was still running the town.”

McCoy said that his avoidance of granting favors for powerful special interests also likely led to his political downfall.

“We weren’t backed by anyone with an agenda, I owe anybody anything, but in the end, I had all the powerful interests and politicians against me,” he said. “It was too much for me to overcome — the deck was stacked.”

McCoy added that his biggest regret was that he’s leaving office without bringing a medical center to town, and building a new headquarters for the local ambulance squad.

He had worked to boost plans to site the two agencies together, perhaps in a common facility with a senior assisted living home. At one time, the former Ramada Inn was eyed for conversion into house all three.

The collapse of the economy, prompting grant funds to dry up, he said, deep-sixed the initiatives.

McCoy reminisced about his former work for 15 years as a chef for Shoreline Restaurant, Mario’s and Fort William Henry Resort. This work in area kitchens was followed up as a representative for a wholesale food supplier.

Dec. 28, McCoy said he wasn’t sure what direction he would now take in his career, or whether he’d retire early at 57 — perhaps moving to Florida near his brother Peter.

What is clear, he said, is that he won’t run for office again, he said.

“I walk out of here with my head held high,” he said, citing his administration’s accomplishments. “I was doing what I believed was best for the citizens of Lake George.”

Chamber’s ‘Winter Social’ set for Jan. 19 SCHROON LAKE — The Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce is hosting a Winter Social Gathering on Thursday, Jan. 19 at Witherbee's Carriage House Restaurant beginning with a social hour and cash bar from 6 to 7 p.m.

CSEA should take note of sacrifices made by unionized city library

W

ould you give up purchasing a doughnut and cup of coffee each morning to save the job of a co-worker?

How about 10 co-workers?

Apparently the union representing Essex County would not. And it is wrong on many levels.

Faced with a looming budget shortfall, Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas approached union leaders back in July and asked them to consider concessions to avoid layoffs.

Supervisors asked the local chapter of the Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) to reopen negotiations in the final year of a four-year contract, and consider foregoing an agreed-upon 4 percent raise in 2012.

The concession would have saved the county $750,000, avoided layoffs and helped control taxes.

But the union dug in its heels, and now 10 Essex County employees will help further pad the county’s 10.4 percent unemployment rate.

Let’s put this in context. A 4 percent pay increase to a county employee making $30,000 is $1,200. After taxes, that is a little more than $2 a day.

But the local CSEA chapter, no doubt fearing it would create a statewide precedent, opted not to re-open talks until midJanuary when it negotiates its next contract.

Ten jobs in a county of less than 400 workers was apparently worth the sacrifice.

Let’s hope supervisors do not forget those 10 workers, or the local union’s unwillingness to give during the next round of negotiations.

At the same time, most of the unionized county workers stood behind the decision.

Do Essex County workers deserve raises? Absolutely. They work very hard and definitely deserve cost-of-living increases.

But so do a lot of people. And the reality is a lot of public and private sector workers are having to make concessions in this economy.

Very few workers will be getting a 4 percent increase next year. Meanwhile, the taxing burden to pay public sector salaries and benefits continually grows.

Something’s got to give.

We are seeing sacrifices taking place all

January 7, 2012

around us — from school teachers agreeing to pay freezes, to town employees picking up more of their health insurance to private sector workers taking unpaid furloughs and pay reductions. People are doing more with less to avoid more people in the unemployment line, including themselves.

It is time the local CSEA and its members stepped to the plate and did the same, just as the unionized workers at Plattsburgh City Library did last week.

To save four positions on the chopping block, the 15 union library employees voted unanimously to a host of concessions that included a four-year pay freeze; a reduction in hours from 37 to 35; a 15 percent contribution toward health insurance and a 50 percent cut in sick days.

Similarly, CSEA-represented state workers have agreed to no salary increases during the next three years, and modest 2 percent increases in the final two years of a five-year contract.

Can you see the local chapter laying anything close to that on the table this January? They have lobbied in favor of giving paid days off to employees on their birthdays. What is that all about?

It is that type of thinking and the reluctance of our elected officials to put an end to it that has created such a divide and has driven taxes to historic levels.

As a country, we simply cannot afford the benefits and luxuries we once did in either the public or private sector, and it is time unions face that very real fact.

In a reader ’s poll posted on our website, www.denpubs.com, 75 percent of those who responded — no doubt some of the very people they represent — said the CSEA should have conceded on the 2012 pay raise to save the county layoffs.

Another 20 percent said the union should be disbanded altogether.

With that in mind, we have just one thing to say to county lawmakers as they engage in contract negotiations later this month: The ball is in your court.

January 7, 2012

•100 Years Ago – Jan. 2012• Bad day at the South Pole British naval Capt. Robert Falcon Scott finally arrived at the South Pole on Jan. 18, 1912 after a horrendous trip filled with peril only to find to his despair explorer Roald Amundsen’s Norwegian flag stuck in the snow where he placed it five weeks earlier.

To add insult to injury, Amundsen had left a letter behind addressed to the King Haakon V11 of Norway, bragging of his achievement and a note asking Scott to deliver it for him. That day Scott wrote in his journal, “Great God, this is an awful place!”

(Note: On their return from the Antarctic, Scott and his party of five, pulling sledges by hand, beset by illness, hunger and blizzards, all died. Their bodies and diaries were found by a search party eight months later.

Scott was posthumously knighted. Glory comes at a high price!)

Coldest night yet of the winter

Warrensburgh and surrounding settlements were hardest hit during the cold snap the night of Jan. 15, 1912 when thermometer at the Warren County Home registered as low as 33 degrees below zero. The mercury fell to minus 34 at the Wayside Hotel. People who were forced to be out of doors due to necessity were glad to get within doors again to be near the warmth of a good coal fire. Last winter the temperature only dipped as low as minus 26 degrees, Horse owners have been warned how hard this weather can be upon their animals ,who should be given special care. The stable should be kept warm, the animal should be protected from the wind with a blanket and a frosty bit should never be put in its mouth.

(Note…I fondly remember the old Millington house, long ago torn down, on Langworthy Hill in North Warrensburgh which had a

comfortable horse stall placed on the opposite side of the kitchen wall from where the big cast iron cooking stove stood.)

Man and dog out in the cold

Dewey Wells and his faithful dog Tim were burned out of house and home the night of Jan. 15, 1912 and must seek a place to lay their weary heads at night and share their frugal meals by day. For some time Dewey and Tim occupied a rambling onestory structure situated on River St., Warrensburgh, just north of the Hudson Valley power station. The building was owned by D.E. Pasco and part of it was used by him as a storehouse and the remainder was occupied by Wells as a paint and repair shop with a residence combined.

The old man was at a nearby store when the fire broke out and Tim was of course with him. Had the intelligent canine been at the scene, he undoubtedly would have given the alarm before the flames had gained such headway. It is believed that the fire was caused by the explosion of one of the numerous lamps or a kerosene oil heater which Wells kept burning to heat his rooms. An alarm was given by blowing the shirt factory whistle and the residents of Lewisville quickly responded, almost to a man.

Efforts were devoted to saving the adjoining building, G.E. Farrar ’s garage. The night was the coldest of the winter and a number of upstreet people who went to the fire froze their ears. To add to the excitement, a live wire over the building parted because of the excessive heat and fell to the ground. Alex Smith removed the danger by cutting the wire near the pole.

The building, valued at about $300, was a total loss and several sleighs and cutters owned by Mr. Pasco were lost as well as all of Dewey’s tools and possessions. There is no insurance.

Opinion - Adirondack Journal - 7

Dewey is now again left without a home, but any place he hangs his hat will be “Home, Sweet Home” to him and Tim. They are again weary wanders.

Rising from the ashes

Charles J. Peabody of New York City, whose magnificent summer home at Lake George was recently destroyed by fire, will rebuild this coming season.

He will occupy the old Hubble homestead, as the property was originally known, opposite the Peabody place on the Bolton Road, while the new residence is being built.

(Note: The story of the terrible fire that destroyed this opulent mansion was told in this column Nov. 26, 1911.)

Senator taken on a wild ride

Ben Hammond, the genial proprietor of the Crystal Drug Store, one of Warrensburgh’s most enthusiastic and skilled horseman, solemnly asserts that with Senator Jim Emerson as a passenger, Jan. 12, 1912, he drove Supervisor M.N. Eldridge’s team of roadsters from the Crystal Drug Store to the Ondawa Hotel at Schroon Lake, a distance of 27 miles, in just one hour and 50 minutes measured by a stop watch. This is almost automobile time, but Ben says they could have no doubt made better time had not the weather been so dag-blamed cold.

The team is believed to have traveled every mile in four minutes. We doubt that there is a better team in this whole area and Mr. Eldridge is proud of them. They are cared for by Byron Harrington at Sen.Emerson’s barn. (Note: Milton N. Eldridge, formerly in charge of the Warrensburgh Woolen Mill on “Milton” Avenue, was supervisor of Warrensburgh from 1912 to 1921. Senator Emerson’s house is next door south of the today’s Grand Union plaza and his house and horse barn are still proudly standing. The

Crystal Drug Store once stood directly across Main Street from today’s Marco Polo Pizza shop. For many years it was operated

by Ben’s father, Oscar F. Hammond, who started the business in 1863. Oscar and his wife, Eliza “Molly” Noxon Hammond lived in the big house, still standing, next door north of the former drug store location. Ben Hammond, a great lover of race horses, owned the famous bay gelding, “William M.,“ named for his drug-store employee, William M. Condon.)

Someone cooked his goose

Isaac Ginsburg, a former Warrensburgher who now resides in Glens Falls at West and New Pruyn streets is anxious, says the Glens Falls Times, to learn the identity of the person who had a dinner at his expense. A large goose and two chickens, which Mr. Ginsburg expected would furnish a meal or two for himself and his family, were missing one morning recently after being locked up in the shed the night before. (Note: Isaac Ginsburg once owned a mercantile store in Warrensburgh. Many years later his family owned the Joy Store in South Glens Falls.)

News roundabout

In 1906, lightning killed 169 people in America. Last year in 1911, Abigail West was killed by a bolt of lightning on West Mountain, Queensbury.

A granite monument weighing 5,900 pounds was placed at the late Judge Rowland C. Kellogg’s grave in Riverside Cemetery near Elizabethtown. (Note: Judge Kellogg was the husband of Mary Richards Kellogg, a native of Warrensburgh who, with her sister Clara Richards, donated the Richards Library to the citizens of Warrensburgh. The library opened Aug. 13, 1901 in the new building, built of native North Caldwell granite.)

Letters to the Editor Cooperation between town, village normal To the Adirondack Journal: Recent articles in the Post-Star have given false impressions to readers about cooperation between the town and village of Lake George.

While two attempts at total consolidation and our differences on saving buildings at Gaslight have gotten the big headlines, our town and village, particularly under supervisors McCoy, Tessier and Flacke, consolidated several services resulting in enormous savings for moth municipalities.

The village abolished our police, justice court, our court clerk, dog warden and assessor posts, and the town now handles all these services.

When the fire department and village offices needed new space, the town leased land to the village and agreed to contribute 50 percent of the cost of contracts with the village for fire protection — and we meet annually on the firefighting budget.

The town contributes $29,000 toward maintenance of the village’s recreation area, and the village leases the town’s land for their recycling center. The town has a sewer district that pumps to the village’s treatment plant, and we share the costs.

The village furnishes the town residents with water. Annually, the town and village agree on funds to support the lake George Community Band, the Lake George Arts Project and the schedule of free fireworks displays. Plus, the village uses the town fuel depot. Imagine if all of the above were duplicated in each municipality!

Encountering only three disagreements in 40 years is a re-

markable achievement. Let’s remember all the positive developments that occurred, and not the negative!

2012 is here — resolve to quit smoking To the Adirondack Journal: The new year is the universal sign of renewal, and is a traditional time to prepare for new beginnings — which can include quitting smoking.

With 2012 here, it’s a good time to set goals and make your family and friends aware that so that you can get the support and encouragement you need to be successful in quitting.

Many smokers use the New Year holiday as motivation to quit. For some, this may be the first time they’ve tried to quit; others may have tried many times before. Regardless, choose to make 2012 the year you quit smoking.

The most important thing tobacco users can do to improve their health is to quit smoking. Although no single approach works best for everyone, many effective quitting methods are available.

Talk to your doctor or health care provider about quitting, call the New York State Smokers’ Quitline at (866) 697-8487 or visit nysmokefree.com for free information and support.

Snowmobile safety is vital To the Adirondack Journal: Snowmobiling season is here once again. After a stellar 2010-11 season, the Washington County Association of Snowmobile Clubs would like to remind all snowmobilers that we make every effort to assure a safe and enjoyable recreational snowmobile season for the riders, the landowners who host the trail system, and motorists who encounter snowmobiles at road crossings and trail heads.

However, it is up to each rider to: • Take a snowmobile safety course; • Avoid all alcohol and drugs before and during a ride; • Operate their sled at a speed that’s safe for conditions; • Stay on the marked trails and between the stakes; • check with local snowmobile club members before riding; and • Pick up all trash and debris brought in or found on the trail.

Riding is a privilege — not a right. If riders abuse the privilege, they will lose it.

When riders do not follow the rules set forth by the clubs and the association, there is a high risk of losing trails for all snowmobilers’ use.

Thanks to all area landowners and businesses for making our hundreds of miles of trails such a success;.

Enjoy your winter, join a local snowmobile club, and think snow!

Thousands celebrate new year in Lake George’s icy waters

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — About 2,000 swimmers charged into the frigid waters Sunday on New Year's Day, following a decades-long community tradition of welcoming in the new year with a polar swim.

The event drew people from all over the region, and many of them donned a variety of unusual clothing or costumes, heightening the revelry associated with the event.

Swimmers were seen not only in swim trunks or bikinis, but wearing Viking helmets, or disguised as a duo of ketchup ad mustard bottles. Another couple was costumed as Dorothy and Toto of “The Wizard of Oz.” Tim Christensen of Schuylerville was garbed as Fred Flintstone. He watched others, near-naked, stand shivering on Shepard Park beach waiting for the signal to take a plunge.

“This event is ridiculous, senseless and silly, but thank God it's not yet illegal,” he said.

One man, Tush Nikollaj, founder and CEO of LogicalNet of Schenectady, chalked up a first for the polar swim — he was dressed in his office clothes.

Nikollaj wore a pin-striped worsted wool Armani suit, Italian leather shoes and dark sunglasses when he ran into the frigid lakewaters and took a dive, then dashed out again, soaked from head to high-priced heels.

This top executive of the computer web hosting firm talked as if his plunging getup was merely routine.

“It's invigorating and a fantastic way to start the new year — If you're dressed well,” he said. “I do everything in a fine suit: fish, paint and swim — and my dry cleaner loves me.”

While many said they'd waited all year for this event, others were coerced to attend.

Mike and Stephanie, a couple from Malta, said that polar swimming in Lake George was on their “bucket list.” But their teen offspring, Matthew and Meredith, were dragged to the event, Matthew claimed as he stood shivering, waiting for the second wave of swimmers to take a mass plunge.

“We were forced into this,” he said as his father was fogging up his mother's glasses with his breath as a distraction.

“I was comfy on the couch, all set to watch the Rangers hock-

ey game.”

The 15-year-old ice hockey fan wasn't the only polar swimmer who was cold and reticent.

Sidney LaPann, a junior at Bolton Central School, said she has participated in the event for three years, at the urging of her classmate Madlyn Wilson, whose family made the polar plunge an annual tradition.

“It's something I look forward to every year,” she said.

“But I dread it,” she added with a grin.

Others were clearly enthusiastic about the plunge and its party atmosphere. For hours, the waiting line for registration was about two blocks long.

Near the back of the registration line early afternoon, Herman Slater of Copake walked forward, leaning on his cane.

He was wearing a helmet that looked like a furry turkey ready for the oven, plus swim shorts that sagged under his stomach. Slater said he'd been attending the New Year's Day polar swim for nine years, and the weather in 2012 was far balmier than prior years.

“Three years ago, my shorts froze immediately to my

skin,” he said. “I took 'em off, and they stood up by themselves.”

His son, Justin Slater, said he likes the annual polar swim tradition his family has been following for many years.

“This gets the family together,” he said.

Nearby, Hans Janke stood in line, dressed in trunks, a Hawaiian shirt, a leather jacket and a hat that resembled the head of a polar bear.

“This is like being baptized,” he said, looking at his friend Chris Gilluley who was wearing an orange shag fedora. “It's a process of cleansing of the past year and starting the new year right.”

Another cohort, Mark Darrigo, offered his thoughts.

“It's a natural euphoric experience — an incredible 'high' — without drugs,” he said.

While many were standing in line, others were waiting on the beach, greeting strangers, sharing their thoughts and fears.

Bikini-clad Erin Madden of Saratoga stood shivering, as her partner Dave Wronowski rubbed her arms to boost her temperature.

“This is my first time doing it, and I'm really scared,” Madden said.

Soon after, one of the three waves of 700 or more swimmers charged into the 34-degree waters. Among them were a half-dozen members of the Fraternal Order of Leatherheads – firefighters from the Capital Region. Kicking their legs high, wearing only shorts and fire helmets, they laughed and yelled while splashing. They've participated in the polar swim for four years, their leader said.

“It's a tradition of our brotherhood, and we have a ball doing it,” he said. “Also, we like supporting the Lake George community groups that benefit.”

Among those benefiting this year were local food pantries, organizer Linda Duffy said. The registration donation pays for the long-sleeved commemorative plunge shirts, and a portion goes toward expenses of Lake George Winter Carnival. The remainder is donated to various charities.

Last in line as a registered swimmer for the 2012 New Year polar plunge was Janna Mackley of Schenectady. She said the long wait in line was worth it.

“You only live once,” she said with a grin.

‘Gingerbread House’ off Northway captivates folks passing by

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE —For 11 months of the year, an aging yellow farmhouse blends into a hillside just a stone’s throw off the Northway a quarter-mile south of the Warrensburg exit.

But from several weeks before Christmas to New Year ’s Day, the home is lit up with meticulously arranged multicolored lights, decorated to look like a storybook gingerbread house.

In its holiday garb and standing isolated on a field above state Rte. 9, the house captivates both children and adults passing by on the superhighway.

Billy Norton stepped out of the farmhouse on Dec. 27, and spoke of why for nearly 20 years he’s annually spent a month’s worth of spare time carefully arranging many thousands of lights — and endured a bloated electric bill — for the engaging display, which includes illuminated faux candy canes, stars and angels.

“I just do it for everyone to enjoy, kids especially,” he shrugged. “That’s all it’s about.”

Norton added that because since he’s past 60 years old, each year it gets more difficult

to climb the ladder and string the lights up around all the windows and eaves of the two-and-a-half story home.

This past year, Norton’s nephew Ray Monroe has been helping out, holding the ladder, or handing the lights on the areas hard to reach. Monroe noted that Norton spends a month decorating the house, and several weeks putting the decorations away, storing them for the following year.

Monroe and Norton said people have various ways of express their appreciation for Norton’s creativity in lighting.

Norton said Canadian truckers passing by blast their air horns in salute.

Monroe said some people stop by and leave gifts of appreciation.

“People really like it — one lady dropped by on Christmas Eve this year, thanked us for the display and left us a platter of cookies,” Monroe said. “Folks from the county home stop by every year. People pull over at the side of the road so they can just look at the house.”

Norton, a night maintenance worker at the Warren County Municipal Center, added that when he takes down the lights this year on Jan. 2, this might be the last time ever that the his house appears so festive and magical.

“This may be my last year, I don’t know,” he said.

Adirondack Journal - 11

Snow Trains begin North Creek trips SARATOGA — For the first time since the mid-20th century, winter passenger excursion service to North Creek is back in operation.

With the wheels of the historic locomotive grinding against the steel rails, Saratoga-North Creek Railway’s “Snow Train” pulled out of the Saratoga Springs rail station at 7 a.m. and headed for North Creek.

Because the maiden run was complete with snow falling from the skies, it represented a good omen for the service, Railway publicist Luisa Sherman-Craige said.

“It was like Mother Nature wanted the Snow Train to look good,” she said.

“This first run was just fabulous.”

The Snow Train service will be in operation Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through March, railway officials said this week. The full-service transportation includes free shuttles to and from Gore Mountain Ski Center and downtown North Creek.

The railway and Gore Mountain have partnered to offer an excursion from Saratoga to North Creek that offers a ski lift ticket, a full-service round trip via rail and vouchers for two drinks — all for $10 less than a lift ticket alone, Railway representative Debra Good-

man said.

Train riders can relax with friends, enjoy the frosty, pristine scenery and socialize without worrying about slippery roads, the discomfort of getting into a subzero vehicle, or exorbitant gasoline prices, Goodman said.

“Now, there’s no excuse not to ride the train — we offer not just transportation to Gore Mountain, but a whole experience in itself,” she said. “People can kick their shoes off, savor a fabulous breakfast cooked to order on the train, while viewing the unspoiled scenery, then enjoy a glass of wine or two on the way home.”

The Snow Train departs Saratoga Springs each morning at 7 a.m. and arrives in North Creek at 9:15 a.m. The return run departs North Creek at 4:30 p.m. and arrives in Saratoga Springs at 6:45 p.m.

The service includes complete ski and snowboard equipment handling and storage to and from the base of Gore Mountain; tableside breakfast and dinner menu with wine offerings and bar service.

Goodman, a resident of Colorado, will be moving to North Creek soon to help launch a new artisans’ marketplace in the former Boardertown in the center of North Creek.

Price Chopper from page 1 bearing a Price Chopper logo. A representative of Golub Corp., Price Chopper ’s parent company, was before the town of Lake George Planning Board in early December with the extensive plans. Attempts to reach Price Chopper were unsuccessful by press time.

The plaza would be wedged between Bakers Crossing Road, Prosser Road and Harrington Hill Road, about 150 feet off Rte. 9, across from McDonald’s Restaurant.

The development plans are contingent on the town of Warrensburg contracting with the town of Lake George to provide sewer and water services.

Warrensburg Town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty noted that the town was ready to negotiate such a contract as soon as the town of Lake George forms both a water district and a sewer district that would not only provide services for the proposed shopping plaza but the Exit 23 Mobil station and McDonald’s Restaurant as well.

He said the water and sewer services would be sold at a rate that would provide income for the operation of the Warrensburg sewer and water districts, and that the charge to the new Lake George district might include a significant portion of the capital costs of developing a new well.

A traffic study submitted with the plans estimates that as many as 419 vehicles per hour would visit the plaza, and that quantity would mean erecting a traffic signal at Prosser Road and Rte. 9.

Also, in conjunction with local community groups, she’ll be coordinating a series of special events to be offered at the Tannery Pond Community Center.

Steve Torrico, Railway general manager said the historic resumption of passenger rail service to North Creek allows a new generation of winter sports fans to experience the luxury and comfort of train travel that was celebrated in decades past.

The all-inclusive price for the excursion, drinks and lift ticket is $70 for coach and $87 for the distinctive dome cars which offer a panoramic view of the scenery.

For younger skiers, the Snow Train is offering five round-trip rides on the snow train in coach seating for $99 — a 66 percent discount. With this deal, lift tickets are separate.

Craige-Sherman said that reports from Gore Mountain indicate the skiers who opted for the ski package on the very first run were quite pleased with the seamless transportation service and handling of their skis.

have included urgings that the storefront feature Adirondack-style architectural accents, including stonework.

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

Measuring 30,000 square feet, the supermarket would be about half the size of the major supermarkets in Glens Falls.

The progress on this Price Chopper development puts the status of another similar grocery/shopping plaza development into question.

In September, Devon Dalpos of the Laker Development group presented plans for another shopping plaza with a major supermarket to be situated on 25 acres behind the Warrensburg Post Office on Main St. in the Warrensburg hamlet.

Both Barry Feinman and Vanguard-Fine and Dalpos have said the immediate region could probably only support one such major development.

Warrensburg town officials have been exerting most of their effort into landing a plaza within their town — to generate more tax dollars, as well as boost the business activity in the hamlet.

Whether situated in downtown Warrensburg or over the town line in Lake George, local officials say the consumer will be benefitted by the competition provided by the major chain, driving down local grocery prices.

Efforts to contact officials of VanguardFine and Laker Development were unsuccessful this week.

Lake George board from page 1 "We'll do everything we can to earn your trust and faith," Dickinson said immediately after taking the oath, which concluded with lengthy applause from the audience.

Later, Blais offered his thoughts about the significance of the local transition of power.

"We're looking forward to a good relationship between the town and village governments," he said. "Asking me to participate in this ceremony is symbolic of what we think the future will bring -- great cooperation."

Dickinson said top priorities for the town included upgrades to the sewer system outside the village.

With the village relining its sewer mains last year, which reduced groundwater infiltration substantially, the town's portion of the sewer flow -- and thus its share of operational costs -- has increased.

Dickinson said he also plans on appointing a group of citizens to evaluate existing zoning and regulations, and make suggestions for changes. Dickinson, who is a professional engineer and surveyor, has represented local developers in the past, and has advocated changes that he said will upgrade the stock of multi-unit housing in town.

Also, Dickinson said he was looking forward to implementing the Exit 21 Corridor reconstruction plan, which calls for a new streetscape, sidewalks and landscaping on Rte. 9 from Northway Exit 21 north to the village line.

He said he and the board may seek to

have a series of informational plaques installed along the route.

"We've got a lot on our plate," he said.

"But what we can accomplish depends on the money we line up. We can do anything we find the money for."

Outside the courthouse, Hurley said he was still experiencing joy over being elected, as he was a Democrat running in a town that has a 2-to-1 Republican voter enrollment.

Marisa Muratori, a former village board member known for her environmental activism and smart-growth ideas, said she was looking forward to serving her community. She's been named liaison to town planning and zoning, town courts, and the local transfer station.

Muratori said she might seek to give the transfer station new roles -- as a collection point for clothing and food drives, and perhaps a place to swap perennials.

"But the biggest thing is I want to help make the town government inclusive, and get the citizens involved," she said. "It makes for a better community -- and it's more fun that way."

Among those witnessing the swearing-in was Warren County Board of Supervisors Chairman Dan Stec. He noted that he was two years old when Dickinson was elected Lake George Town Supervisor the first time -- about 1980 or so.

Stec said he chose to attend the Lake George swearing-in because the local election had been high profile, and the county's fortunes were so dependent on the town's vitality -- particularly its tourism.

"Of all the town election races, the one here was the most attention-grabbing in the county," he said.

In a swearing-in ceremony held Jan. 1, Lake George Supervisor Dennis Dickinson takes the oath of office, administered by his brother-in-law, state Supreme Court Justice David Krogmann. Lake George Mayor Robert Blais holds the Bible.

Town Board shakeup from page 1 the action — Vinnie Crocitto abstained in the vote due to knowing the people being fired, and Heinrich voted No, criticizing the move.

“The board is acting in a hasty manner, and more information is necessary before changes are made,” she said.

During the past year, Lake George Citizens Group members had criticized town budgeting, and had called for greater transparency on expenditures and employee compensation, issues that the former board was busy tackling after a relatively recent prior turnover in the town supervisor post.

Tuesday, being booted off the planning board caught Mastrodomenico and Carr by surprise. Mastrodomenico was the town hall, intending to attend the planning board meeting directly after the town board met, but found out he had been replaced.

John Carr was reached by phone in Tampa, Fla. soon after the organizational meeting. Both Carr and Mastrodomenico said they had expected to continue serving on the Planning Board and weren’t consulted or interviewed for serving the new term.

The changes on the planning board were announced by Marisa Muratori, who was appointed by the supervisor to be the point person on the board for planning and zoning. She asked the board to rename her panel from “board committee” to “commission.”

In early 2009, Muratori had been beaten by Mastrodomenico in a campaign for a seat on the Lake George Village Board. Also, Muratori and Carr had been competitors in November 2009 for a seat on the town board, representing opposing parties.

Both Carr and Mastrodomenico said after the town board meeting they hoped the actions replacing them weren’t prompted by political motives.

“I hoping Marisa’s appointments have nothing to do with me beating her for village trustee,” Mastrodomenico said. “Our boards have to be working together cooperatively in the future.”

Mastrodomenico challenged the method

in which the decision was made.

“The new majority on the town board campaigned on a platform of transparency and open government, but there was no transparency here,” he said.

Muratori defended her decision, which was opposed by Town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson as well as Crocitto.

“Change is what the community wanted,” Muratori said. “There were a lot of concerns about planning and zoning.”

Dickinson said he was particularly unhappy to see Carr replaced.

“John Carr was a really good board member, very knowledgeable and thorough in his research of issues, and he provided good input,” Dickinson said.

Crocitto offered similar comments.

“The new appointments shouldn’t have

been made at the expense of two very competent long-term planning board members,” Crocitto said. “John Carr was outstanding on the board, which had not one lawsuit filed against it since he was on the board. He was knowledgeable about buildings and construction, and concerned with the environment, and we will truly miss him.”

Carr was known for assuring that proposed developments followed ordinances, met standards, and he often had developers commit to planting more trees and establishing landscaping buffers larger than the minimum, town officials said. His extensive knowledge of the ordinances allowed projects to move to completion faster and with less conflict between developers and the town, they said.

Carr said he hoped the decision to shake

up the planning board wouldn’t have negative repercussions for the town.

“I hope this doesn’t discourage or intimidate knowledgeable and qualified people from serving on boards,” he said. “I hope for the sake of the community that the new town board members will not be exercising cronyism.”

Carr added that he seeks to stay involved.

“I’ll be available to do anything I can to help out the new town board members in getting them up to speed on projects now underway,” he said.

New town board member Dan Hurley defended his vote, saying that he believed that people should serve only one term in public office — and he was going to lobby to have such a term limit established in Lake George town government.
