New Warren Co. chair sets 2013 goals

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — For the first time in a half-century, Warren County’s chief executive is from the upcounty town that’s the county’s namesake.

Warrensburg Supervisor Kevin Geraghty was installed Friday, Jan. 4 as chairman of the county Board of Su-

pervisors, following the reign of former Queensbury Supervisor Dan Stec, who was sworn in Jan. 1 as the new state Assembly representative for the region.

The last Warrensburg supervisor before Geraghty to serve as county chairman was Lee Orton, who served in the post from 1958 to 1961.

At the county’s reorganizational meeting Friday, Geraghty reviewed the county leaders’ accomplishments of

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Five influential environmental groups are urging New York state to support a mandatory boat inspection and decontamination program for vessels

launched on Lake George.

The leaders of these groups sent a letter advocating the program to Gov. Andrew Cuomo and state Environmental Conservation Commissioner Joe Martens. The letter calls for mandatory boat inspection and decontamination to be in place before the 2013 boating season begins,

and urges financial support as well.

The letter notes the proliferation of invasive species, the damage they can cause, and the ecological and economic losses that result. The letter also mentions that early preventative action is far more effective than attempting to control such species once they are introduced

into the lake.

To date, the state has balked at supporting an inspection and decontamination program. Some have criticized the initiative because of it would shut down lake access to anglers who seek to launch their boats before dawn or other times the inspection stations were unmanned.

QUEENSBURY — As new 114th District Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury) visited several counties this week to witness their annual reorganizational ceremonies, he identified his initial legislative priorities.

While the state leaders will be grappling with whether to allow casinos, raising the minimum wage and gun control as top issues, Stec said he will be advocating other objectives that reflect the needs of his constituents in the southern Adirondacks.

“We really need to make the economy and the job market the number one priority,” he said. “So many other things stem from the business climate and the state of the economy.”

Stec said that in this vein he will be lobbying to curb laws that entangle businesses and raise their costs and unnecessarily burden their operations.

“We’ll be looking to reduce regulations that hinder

WCS grad to march with band parading for President Obama’s inauguration

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — A 2008 graduate of Warrensburg High School will be performing in front of a national audience in a few weeks as she plays flute or piccolo in a marching band participating in President Obama’s inaugural ceremonies.

Audrey Seaman will be marching with the Norwich University Regimental Band in the inaugural parade down Pennsylvania Avenue. Seaman is a senior at Norwich University, the oldest

private military college in the U.S.. The Norwich Regimental Band is the oldest college band in the nation, Seaman said.

The Regimental Band was founded in 1823 and has performed at the inaugural ceremonies of several presidents, including John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush, according to a report in the Burlington Free Press.

The parade is to take place after Barack Obama is sworn in Monday Jan. 21. Seaman said she was looking for-

ward to marching with the 54 other Norwich band members in such a historic event. Several dozen bands have been invited to march.

“I’m really excited to be part of this national event,” she said Jan. 8.

At Norwich, Seaman is a Cadet Lieutenant Colonel, in charge of the military training of over 300 students. She leads one of the freshman battalions.

Also, she serves as Managing Editor of Norwich’s college newspaper, The Guidon. In addition, she works for the Norwich University Magazine, which is distributed to all the college’s alumni.

While at Warrensburg High, she played four years in the school’s high school band, sang in choir, played on the field hockey team, and performed in the pit orchestra for several of the school’s musicals.

Seaman started playing flute in the fourth grade learning the basics from Music Teacher Betsy Moynehan.

Soon after graduating from Warrensburg High, Seaman spent two months in Europe as a member of American Music Abroad’s New York State touring band, giving concerts in Wales, Germany and France.

After high school, she spent one year at St. Lawrence University before she transferred to Norwich.

As for the future, Seaman is aiming to be a member of one of the U.S. military bands. If not, she may be pursuing a journalism career, she said.

Seaman’s mother, Catherine Dzierba, said she was also excited about her daughter being part of the inauguration.

This is a great opportunity, and I’m very proud of her,” she said. “It’s just fantastic.”

To many people Pottersville is just an exit on the Northway.

To the residents it’s got that small town charm with a vibrant history.

Pottersville will forever hold in its fabric title to the Pottersville Fair Grounds. In the late 1870‘s on a parcel of land on route 9 north, the Faxon family established the Pottersville Fair under the Glendale Union Agricultural Society banner.

At one time people came in the thousands daily not to check out the cows or farm equipment but to watch horse races and such.

Betting was the true lure for all the visitors. Access to this part of the Adirondacks was made possible by way of railroad and coaches. Places to stay emerged.

The bettors paradise ended in 1908 when a bill was passed that made it illegal to quote odds, record bets and basically prohibited gambling. The Society failed but in 1910 reopened as the Pottersville Fair Association.

Gambling did continue awhile longer but under a threat of arrest and or imprisonment.

The new association provided amusements of all types.

Carnival and performers were introduced. In the 1920’s The building known as Glendale Park was built. Many today remember the building. It housed dancing with live orchestras. A person could roller skate and have drinks at the large bar. Later, as people became car owners a drive-in movie was added. The screen was taken down recently.

This summer, once again the Pottersville Fair Grounds will be the site for exciting entertainment - not horses and betting but music, performers, exhibits, food, rides for the whole family during North Warren’s Bicentannial Celebration on Saturday August 24th.

Our community of North Warren is proud to be “Growing Together” right along with Pottersville. 41980

Outhouse races proposed for Brant Lake Winter Carnival

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com BRANT LAKE — For decades, substantial crowds have been drawn to Lake George for their annual zany — but keenly competitive outhouse races.

Looking south to their counterparts in Lake George for inspiration, organizers of the first-ever Brant Lake Winter Carnival are now planing to launch their own edition of the race featuring faux outdoor potties.

This new upcounty winter festival is scheduled for Saturday Feb. 9. To be held on the ice of Brant Lake in front of Jimbo’s Club

at Point O’ Pines Camp, the event is now being planned by the Tri-lakes Business Alliance.

Entrants are now being sought for the proposed race. In the Lake George outhouse race, various taverns, businesses and nonprofit groups have traditionally sponsored outhouses, with the race winners cherishing their bragging rights for a year.

Cindy Mead of the Alliance said in a memo sent out this week that she hopes a similar spirit will catch on for the Brant Lake outhouse race.

“This could be a lot of fun — and a good draw for the Carnival,” she said in the mes-

sage sent out to upcounty businesses.

Alliance members have suggested the festival include ice skating — perhaps with a “dance-off,” an ice fishing tournament, a snowshoe race, cross-country skiing, ice hockey games and a vintage snowmobile expo and rides.

Activities suggested for children include, snow castle construction, kite flying, plus bonfires with s’mores for children.

Games proposed for the day include broomball, snowshoe softball, snowmanmaking, ice bowling, a sled-pulling contest, and various other outdoor friendly-butfriendly competitions. Indoor crafts sessions

for children might be among the activities.

A lunch, perhaps a barbecue, is to be offered by Jimbo’s. Plans also call for a jazz group to perform in the late afternoon for several hours.

Enterprises and individuals who would like to enter an outhouse in the proposed race are urged to call Mead at 494-3016 as soon as possible to express interest.

The next meeting of the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance is to be held at 9 a.m. Friday, Jan. 11 at the Panther Mountain Inn, and area citizens are welcome to attend. Meeting are generally held every second Friday.

Guest Commentary How safe are our schools?

Our children are not as safe during the school as we’d like to think they are.

The safety and education of our children should be the top priority of school officials. I feel that because our schools haven’t yet had any high-profile violent incidents, they may be taking a relaxed approach to safety.

The attitude that violent incidents will “never happen in our school” may be a pipe dream of those hoping it won’t. With the knowledge of what has occurred elsewhere, we know that anything can happen.

In addition to violence, school officials are faced with the problem of bullying. Now, with electronic media and social networking, bullies are able to command a larger audience. Our children used to feel safe in our homes, but this is no longer the case.

Bullying can stem from a child seeking to gain popularity through victimizing others, or it can be the result of a dysfunctional family life. Am I an expert on bullying? No, but I’ve been a bully, been a victim of bullying and have witnessed it all my life. Bullying will always be around — but we need to find a way to deal with it.

Being a former school bus

driver, I’ve unfortunately witnessed how school disciplinary procedures have failed with addressing bullying, as well as other problems.

All schools need to have zero tolerance for bullying, threats and assaults, and they must take action to prevent them. Administrators need to follow through on the anti-bullying policies.

This was, and may still be, a problem in the school that I worked for. It appeared that there was a different set of rules for different students.

Here’s an example: I had written up a student, with previous disciplinary problems, for using profanity on the bus. This student was suspended from bus privileges for a week. Another child, with a similar disciplinary record, was written up for verbally threatening another child with a gun. It took the administration 108 days to suspend that child from my bus. Sadly, it took a phone call to a school board

member to make that happen. Some people would consider that as an “idle threat” from a fifth grader, but I did not.

In the past 26 years, at least 75 students have been shot and killed in the U.S., and another 127 have been wounded, this includes the most recent tragedy at the Newtown School. The shootings also took the lives of 19 staff and injured another 13.

Did the shooters of these kids ever make idle threats before they took human lives? Were there any prior red flags that could have prompted others to prevent the shootings? The death of one child, let alone 75, is unacceptable.

The highest number of those killing and injuring others, incidentally, were boys 14 and 15.

Heightened security and awareness about potential violence are ways we can prevent these tragic incidents. Do I think that we need metal detectors in all our schools? I think we need

something. In any case, most school districts do what they can to keep our children safe, but there are flaws in some schools’ security. Perhaps all those entering a school building should state their business and identify themselves before the entrance door is unlocked — a procedure now in place at Warrensburg High School.

Unfortunately, familiar people could become violent.

Another concern: Are our school staffers, who are the first line of defense, welltrained in what to look for, or what to do in the event of a breach into the school? I think that the security and safety of our children should hold no boundaries.

Another preventative measure is to counsel troubled students. Paying particular attention to students who show signs of depression, anger or being a “loner” is a good place to start.

The school psychologists, teachers, and staff members should be alert to any

change in behavior of a student.

The students that have been arrested, or have spent a considerable amount of time in family court, should be monitored — not singled out, but evaluated.

There could be issues at home that could prompt a child to take out his frustrations at school. Children whose parents are experiencing discord or who are separating, tend to become withdrawn and rebellious — because many times the parents’ bitterness prompts them to divert their attention from their children.

This observation comes from my first-hand knowledge: I was from a broken home.

Perhaps school staffers could re-commit themselves to being on full alert to monitor the behavior of our children. In one situation, that I recently experienced, a school principal, having been notified of a court order, failed to inform teachers and security staff forbidding

a child to leave the school with a parent.

Safety in our schools should be addressed in a professional, uniform manner. Most teachers take their jobs seriously, and perform their duties to the best of their ability. But there are administrators, teachers and staff members who have lost touch with their priorities.

Should we assume that these staff members can still be trusted with the lives of our children?

Our local public school is staffed with many very qualified professionals. However, based on past practice of some administrators, I feel that more can be done to ensure the safety of our kids. I do, and always will, have concerns about my kids during the course of a school day. I just would like more assurance that our children are getting the best educations possible, and that they are safe while getting it.

Time to follow the Open Meetings Law Violence not the answer

I

t’s been almost a year since Gov. Andrew Cuomo approved an amendment to the Open Meetings Law (section 103e) requiring public bodies — school, town, village, city, county and state boards — to provide meeting material to the public prior to their meetings.

While some boards have made progress toward meeting this requirement, we sadly report that many public bodies are not following the law.

Moreover, many are not fulfilling the spirit of the law because they are hiding behind language in the amendment.

We urge all public boards to rectify this shortcoming immediately instead of hoping the public will be ignorant about their Open Meetings Law responsibilities.

Starting Feb. 2, 2012, New York state began requiring boards to give the public access to their records scheduled for discussion at open meetings. The reason?

“Members of the public have on many occasions complained that they cannot fully understand discussions among members of public bodies, even though the discussions occur in public,” states the New York Committee on Open Government.

This change to the Open Meetings Law was made so “those interested in the work of public bodies should have the ability, within reasonable limitations, to see the records scheduled to be discussed during open meetings prior to the meetings.”

The change to the law centers around two types of records: 1) those that are required to be made available pursuant to the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL); 2) and proposed resolutions, law, rules, regulations, policies or amendments thereto.

When these records are scheduled to be discussed, they must be “made available, upon request therefor, to the extent practicable as determined by the agency or the department, prior to or at the meeting during which the records will be discussed.”

Public bodies can charge a reasonable fee for copies of the meeting material.

However, by posting them online, they will save money.

Unfortunately, there are many boards that are not following the amendment’s website requirement:

“If the agency in which a public body functions maintains a regularly and routinely updated website and utilizes a high speed Internet connection, such records shall be posted on the website to the extent practicable as determined by the agency or the department, prior to the meeting.”

This is where many boards are failing.

And they’re hiding behind the words “to the extent practicable.”

When asked about this language during the New York Press Association conference in the spring of 2012, Committee on Open Government Executive Director Robert Freeman answered a Denton Publications editor with a question: “Can you place it on your website?” The answer was “yes.”

Therefore, it is practicable for all boards to do so, he asserted.

Public boards are also hiding behind the language that prevents this from being an unfunded mandate: “An agency may, but shall not be required to, expend additional moneys to implement the provisions of this subdivision.”

Therefore, some say they will not post meeting material online because it will require them to redesign their websites, and that costs money.

Wrong. If the public body updates its own website, it doesn’t cost extra money, just extra time. Some towns, however, have outside firms manage their websites, and updates do cost money. But that should be considered regular maintenance.

You don’t have to redesign your website to post meeting material.

Hallmarks of website posting for their meetings include the City of Glens Falls, Village of Saranac Lake and Johnsburg Central School.

As for the other public entities, we’re keeping an eye on you. When we follow up on this topic, we hope all boards will be complying with the law.

“Spiritual presences were present within our educational systems for most of our nation's history.”

“We have refused to honor God, and in so doing, we open the doors to hatred and violence. And when something as terrible as Columbine's tragedy occurs — politicians immediately look for a scapegoat such as the NRA. They immediately seek to pass more restrictive laws that contribute to erode away our personal and private liberties.

We do not need more restrictive laws.”

“Eric and Dylan would not have been stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun laws can stop someone who spends months planning this type of massacre.”

“The real villain lies within our own hearts. We do need a change of heart and a humble acknowledgement that this nation was founded on the principle of simple trust in God.” We’ll hear more on this subject in the days ahead, and while some may advocate more violence in order to curb violence we all must make certain we have a thoughtful and realistic debate on the issues truly at the root of these events.

There are an untold number of things that cause untimely deaths in this world.

To address these issues we must look beyond the superficial cause and not allow political agendas to cloud a very important debate.

T

he recent increase in highly visible shootings around the country has many talking about guns and legislation. Two recent items caught my eye as the nation tries to come to grips with the best approach to address these senseless nightmare events.

The first item was an editorial by Donald Kaul, a retired editor from the Des Moines Register. The column appeared just after the shooting: “I would tie Mitch McConnell and John Boehner, our esteemed Republican leaders, to the back of a Chevy pickup truck and drag them around a parking lot until they saw the light on gun control. And if that didn’t work, I’d adopt radical measures.”

He also said we should declare the NRA a terrorist organization, make membership illegal and raze the NRA headquarters while making ownership of unlicensed assault rifles a felony.

That’s not a very rational approach.

Here’s another side of the multi-dimensional argument from Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings. His comments were provided in an address before the House Judiciary Subcommittee shortly after the Columbine shooting in May 1999. This is part of the address: “Since the dawn of creation there has been both good and evil in the hearts of men and women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of violence. The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of that heroic teacher, and the other 11 children who died must not be in vain. Their blood cries out for answers ... In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA. I am not a member of the NRA. I am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am not here to represent or defend the NRA — because I don't believe that they are responsible for my daughter's death.”

“Men and women are three-part beings. We all consist of body, mind

To the Adirondack Journal: It appears the saying that the White House Administration likes most, “Never let a good disaster go to waste … “ or something like that, is in the forefront of this new gun controversy.

As with all good liberals on hearing of the shooting in Newtown, Conn., knees were jerked and jerks spewed nonsense from brains too twisted for rational solutions to real problems. “Ban the Guns” was again the shriek from the far left and still with knowing that banning anything never worked! “Ban guns” in the 1960s, “ban guns” in the 1980s, “ban guns” in the new century and “ban guns” now; irrational and repetitive same thoughts or actions expecting different outcomes can lead a person to the asylum. The noise has become louder and louder so I thought you all should be kept up to date.

Mark Baker, the same Director of the Saratoga Springs City Center, the one who has been my contact since I stopped at his hole-in–the-ground building project nearly three decades ago, is still there and is still on the side of the righteous. Amen! Early in 1984, our little company, NEACA, Inc., New Eastcoast Arms Collectors Associates, entered into an agreement to produce the first trade show at the City Center; an Antique Show in August. And right after that a Gun Show in September.

Bang, bang in succession, Mark had two shows booked before the cement pad was dry. This coming Arms Fair on Jan. 12-13 will be the fruition of many years efforts, great camaraderie with the City Center staff and result of a problem free show and excellent venue. This will also be our 90th show there. Let me say it again; 30 years, 90 shows, no problems! We just may be Mark’s best customer but, as most all of you know, most irritant because I like fairness and I like rules.

I digress to the past because that should prove a track record for the future, and it appears that the future of our Arms Fairs wants to be called into question. There is a petition circulating in Saratoga Springs, created by some person who may see herself as a slayer of dragons, we being the

fire-breather. I have heard of 650 signatories to this instrument to ban our gun show from the city. To me, it doesn’t matter whether she ends up with 650 or 1,000 because our event is in the right. We have a track record, we also have a contract, including three more, we are a legitimate company doing legal things and we are responsible, sensible and sensitive adults who can stand a challenge but would rather challenge a problem and correct it. What problem these other people see is not all that clear to me. We are not cancelling our Arms Fair.

These past several weeks I have been asked for many interviews by the media and press because I, along with my wife, Cathy, run a gun shop in Mechanicville, have for about 35 years. They wanted my “expert” opinion on why things happen, what I intend to do and how I feel, all asked among other insidious questions posed after the Newtown, Conn. massacre.

Yes, it was an insane person who massacred children. I wept when I heard of it. I have grandkids of the same age and can feel the horror too. As I am sure all of you can. And now, seeing that Cathy and I also run the Saratoga Springs City Center Arms Fair, we again are fair game.

As far as Cathy and I are concerned, we are going ahead with business as usual; our Saratoga Springs Arms Fair will go on. We are going to ask our dealers to either not bring AR-15s or look-a-likes to this January show. But, considering that these are legal and practical long-range target firearms, some of them highly collectable and valuable, and if they feel they must then at least display them as undertable stock or in a box on the table.

The one final thing I would ask of you all is that you fight fire with fire. The Internet and social media sites are ablaze with articles wanting to ban this, that and even us. Use your skills on the web as well, post your Facebook facts, write your blog or respond to chats and chirps, tweet your Twitter and if you old folks really have to, plunk your magic twanger! But, get it done. Let the left know the right still rules and make contact with your friends and colleagues that our show should go on, for now and in the future.

100 Years Ago - January 1913 Supervisors celebrate at gala The Halfway House was the scene of gay festivities the evening of Dec. 13, 2012, the occasion being a banquet tendered by Supervisor Milton N. Eldridge of Warrensburgh, the youngest member of the Warren County Board, to observe the anniversary of his birth. Present were almost all of the members of the Board of Supervisors, Attorneys, county officials and representatives of the press.

Proprietor Arthur Lyle spread his usual excellent feast before the banqueters at 7 p.m. and waiting for their appetites to recover, did it again an hour later and when their stomachs had been appeased, an extemporaneous post-prandial program was observed.

Hon. Addison B. Colvin was the first speaker. After complimenting the Board of Supervisors as a whole, he paid tribute to the late Taylor J. Eldridge, father of the evening’s host. He recalled a banquet in the Rockwell House in 1893 which he and Taylor Eldridge attended. He closed his speech by offering a silent toast to the memory of Jonathan M. Coolidge, once a member of the Board of Supervisors, who had died a few days previously at his home on Glen St. One of the amusing features of the program was the presentation of a silk hat to Supervisor Beecher Glassbrook of Stony Creek by county Attorney Loyal L. Davis. Glassbrook had gained much fame among his fellow supervisors as a collector of caps and hats and it was thought that the silk hat would prove a most desirable present.

Glassbrook graciously accepted the hat and agreed to wear it for the remainder of the evening, but refused to appear within the limits of Stony Creek in such regalia.

Supervisor Herbert J. Russell ended the program with a talk on “The Centennial.” A

rising vote of thanks was tendered to Milton N. Eldridge. (Note: The historical Halfway House was located near today’s outlet shops on the west side of state Rte. 9, directly facing the entrance of the Fort Ann Road. Established by C.L. Rockwell, The Rockwell House — on the west side of Glen St. in downtown Glens Falls — perished in a spectacular fire. Milton Avenue, in Warrensburgh, was named for Supervisor Eldridge.

I wonder if Supervisor Glassbrook’s silk hat today rests in the Stony Creek museum.)

Weather amazes residents Walter E. Harris made a trip through Lake George to Baldwin in a motorboat Jan. 24, 1913. This is a remarkable experience at this winter season as Lake George is generally icebound much before the latter part of January. On Jan. 5, 1904 it was 24 degrees below zero.

Many of the older residents of this area have wracked their brains in an effort to recall similar conditions in years gone by. One old settler says that January, 1889 was the same as this year and dust was blowing in the streets in the middle of the month. There was than a great shortage of ice in the cities and quantities were shipped from the scant but adequate supply in Lake George to Albany and New York. Two or three Warrensburgh men made a lot of money that winter.

Self made man perishes Leonard Bibbey, 60, died from pneumonia Jan. 31, 2013 at his home in Fort Edward. He was a native of England and came to Glens Falls as a boy. He later started a small bottling works out of which has grown the firm of Bibbey and Ferguson brewers.

Bibbey lived in Glens Falls until 1890 when, with several others, he went to Fort Edward and purchased the John R. Durkee Brewing Co. which he has since conducted under his personal direction.

Thurman to hold ‘Old Home Days’ The Town of Thurman has named their hometown observance of the Warren County Bicentennial as Thurman Old Home Days. The celebration is to be held the evenings of Friday June 14 and Saturday June 15. The two-day fest will be filled with activities including a parade, a military encampment, children’s games, live music, and fireworks.

Town of Thurman news Three local residents are now being sought to serve on the Thurman Board of Assessment Review. The board has two members, and is supposed to have five, appointed to the panel by the Thurman Town Board. Anyone interested should write a letter of interest to the Thurman Town Clerk.

The board’s function is to hear the objections citizens may raise about their assessments.

If the Board of Assessment Review doesn't resolve an issue to a person’s satisfaction, citizens have the right to go before an arbitrator and achieve their objective. If this is not successful, citizens can file a lawsuit.

It is recommended that grieving property owners meet with a town assessor to try to reach an agreement before such other actions are necessary.

Activities, events in the hills The Thurman Fire Company will be holding their monthly meeting at 7 p.m. Jan. 11 at in the Thurman firehouse.

The Thurman Quilting Group holds their meetings every Monday from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Thurman Town Hall. These skilled crafters accomplish more than just quilting, however. Stop in for some light refreshments and a good time with your neighbors. For more information, contact Myra at 623-2633.

The Sugar Loaf Seniors’ next meeting is to be held at 11:30 a.m. Saturday Jan. 19 in the Thurman Town Hall. The club’s meetings are most always held on the third Saturday of each month.

Those who have experienced difficulty getting their trash to the Thurman transfer station are welcome to call Jim Desourdy who will take them there for $5 per delivery, weekly or as needed. Desourdy routinely picks up trash through town every Saturday starting at 9 a.m. To reach him, call 6234254.

Over the fence The Glens Falls YMCA, located at 600 Glen St. in Glens Falls, offers financial assistance for those unable to afford the full cost of a program or membership. The YMCA advises you to pick up a confidential financial assistance application at the Member Services Desk. Financial assistance is possible thanks to the support of generous donors from the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign.

Bibbey was a self-made man and charitably inclined. He was widely known as one of the leading horsemen of this area, having owned some of the best horses in the state.

The Bibbey Hose Company was named in his honor. He is survived by his wife, one son, Walter Bibbey and a daughter, Mrs. W.L.R. Durkee.

Citizens seek rate increase The residents of Bolton Landing and of the lighting district in the town are being asked to sign a petition to authorize the town board to increase the rate paid to the local lighting company to five miles on the assessable property of the district, the present rate being three miles on each dollar. The reason for this action is that the company has been doing business at a loss since its organization and as its finances are burdened. It is necessary for the company to increase its income by some means or give up the business which would mean quite a loss to the residents. The increased rate would put the company in a more favorable position —not necessarily give them profits — but at least enable them to maintain their plant and distributing system in much better condition.

Consumers request that the candle-power of the street lights be increased from 25 to 32 and that the company’s lines extend another mile and a half in the village.

A majority of citizens, however, are not in favor of a new increase. The way things are, it is doubtful if the company, which is expected to suspend operations this month, can be replaced if it is allowed to go out of business because of lack of funds.

Gala wedding held Miss Minerva Morehouse, daughter of Lewis Morehouse of Johnsburgh, was united in marriage with Leroy G. Phelps of Bridgeport, Connecticut, formerly of Glens Falls, by the Rev. W.S. Mulholland. The cer-

emony was performed at the Morehouse home before immediate relatives. Edna Morehouse was maid of honor and Walter White was best man.

Leroy Phelps, son of Dr. A.H. Phelps, holds a lucrative position with the American Salesbook Company.

It was just 65 years ago, Jan. 24, 1848, that the big news of the day was that gold had been discovered in California and the male population of Warrensburgh and elsewhere, rapidly diminished.

When President Woodrow Wilson took office this month, he made it abundantly clear that he had decided to follow a policy of cooperating with only such governments as rested upon the undoubted consent of the governed.

Special lace- and embroidery-trimmed corset covers are on sale at a price of two for 25 cents at the Boston Store, Glens Falls. All fancy feathers ladies’ hats in felts, velvets, plush and silk beavers are 50 cents and 98 cents. A week’s supply of Isabel Cassidy’s daintily perfumed face powder will be given free to each lady customer.

Looking back in time It was just four years ago, Sept. 17, 1908, that Lieutenant Thomas Etholen Selfridge, 26, became the first person to be killed in a powered aircraft. He was flying in a plane at Fort Myer, Va. piloted by Orville Wright which crashed after engine failure. A propeller blade was snapped off. Wright was seriously injured in the accident and it is said that he never again felt the same way about flying. Thomas Selfridge is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

Due to an error editing my column, the process of allocating Occupancy Tax funds for 2013 was represented inaccurately in last week’s issue. According to Occupancy Tax Committee members, the town board decided how to dole out $20,000 of the $30,000 total available — without input from the committee. Committee member Perky Granger said this week that she was concerned that the town’s major events might receive less than they need to assure success.

The town board’s decision to allocate $20,000 to the Summer Concert Series, the town’s celebration of the Warren County Bicentennial and for general publicity, leaves only $10,00 to fund the town’s traditional events such as Maple Days, the Jack Wax Party, the Fall Farm Tour, Town Wide Sale, Christmas Bazaar, and a new event named the Wilderness Corridor Showcase.

Adk. Theater Festival’s benefit features pro cast GLENS FALLS — Adirondack Theatre Festival celebrates the start of its 19th year Friday, Jan. 13 with its winter benefit event at 7 p.m. in the Charles Wood Theater, downtown Glens Falls.

This annual event raises money for the area’s premier professional, nonprofit summer theatre.

Each year ATF’s winter benefit hosts sold out crowds, establishing it as a pivotal social event of the winter season. Tickets range from $65 to $150 and can be purchased online at www.ATFestival.org, over the phone at 874-0800 or in person at the Wood Theater box office, Wednesday through Friday from noon to 5 p.m..

An evening built around a theme inspired from a summer show, the benefit features cast members from ATF’s hit dramatic musical Next to Normal, returning to Glens Falls to perform only happy songs in a cabaret presentation.

ATF Board member Kristine Flower explained that the benefit’s theme, Insanely Happy, was inspired by the success of the 2012 season.

“Next To Normal, the award-winning dramatic musical, was the top-selling production of the summer and we knew our supporters would want to see those performers sing again,” she said.

Four cast members are returning for the benefit: Brett Stoelker, Noah Zachary, Billy Clark Taylor, Bret Shuford and Mandy Thompson.

From 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. before the cabaret starts, attendees participate in one of the event’s highlights: silent and live auctions of gift certificates, merchandise and performance tickets – more than 150 items in total.

Once the silent auction closes, auctioneer Martin Seelye will take to the stage offering up for bid a collection of items sure to entice. The live auction includes tickets to a Red Sox game, tickets to any Broadway show of one’s choice and more.

Benefit attendees will be treated to food from Gourmet Cafe, beer from Davidson Brothers and wines from Adirondack Wine Merchants.

In 2012, ATF’s Winter Benefit raised over $35,000 for the company providing salary support for the professional actors and designers ATF hires to create its one-of-a-kind productions.

Our goal is and has always been to meet the needs of the community, and by re-opening the only pre-school operating in the bounds of the Lake George School District, we are certainly hoping to meet that need.”

Pastor at Caldwell Presbyterian Church ~ Reverend Chad Jones LAKE GEORGE, NY — Caldwell Presbyterian Pre-School, located at 71 Montcalm Street, an educational fixture within the Lake George School District since 1973, is set for a “Grand Re-Opening” in September 2013.

cessful re-opening that can be sustainable for the long-term. Registration for children officially began January 1st 2013.

“Many in the community were very disappointed to see the school close its doors, It has been a pillar of this community for as long as most of us can remember.

The importance of a strong PreSchool cannot be understated, children attending a Pre-School program in advance of kindergarten show better preparedness, not only for the academic rigor; but with the necessary social conventions as well.”

“It’s wonderful that the Preschool is opening their doors again. Kudos to everyone involved in making this happen.

I’m looking forward to collaborating with the school in any way that I can to help ensure the best experience for children.”

Frigid weather doesn’t deter Lake George polar plungers

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Braving bitter cold and gusty wind, about 1,200 people in swimming suits and many in bizarre costumes charged into the waters of Lake George Tuesday Jan. 1 in a time-honored New Year ’s Day ritual.

One of the revelers, Navy veteran Buck McTee of Florida, said plunging into Lake George in 23-degree temperatures with a frigid wind blowing was a matter of bravado, fun, and boosting one’s longevity.

McTee stood on the beach wearing shorts and a small Spiderman cape, unaware that the 23-degree wind froze droplets of water on his getup.

“Those who go in the water under these conditions either die or add 10 years to their life,” he quipped. “Besides, my relatives bought me enough whiskey to convince me to do this.”

Nearby were McTee’s nieces, shaking pink pom poms and voicing cheers. From Schaghticoke, they were clad only in summer shorts and U-neck T-shirts, with purple boas draped over their necks.

Anne VanVorst, one of the two teens, said the polar swim was a way to temporarily forget about friends who were injured in car crashes — and the other tragic incidents they’ve witnessed recently on television.

“With everything going on in the world, we want to take a break and have fun,” VanVorst said.

Later, Tush Nikollaj, founder and CEO of LogicalNet of Schenectady, said he sought to surpass a scene from the 2012 New Year ’s Day plunge. Last year, he dove into the waters wearing an Armani wool business suit and Italian leather shoes. This year — with the temperature far colder — he wore not only the suit and shoes, but a top hat to surpass last year ’s feat.

That’s not all, mind you.

Nikollaj was accompanied by a friend, Lisa Krizmani who wore a Versace cocktail dress, plenty of gold jewelry, and strap high heels. She also held a festive bouquet when the two of them dove into the frigid lake.

“I thought I’d do this better-dressed this year,” Nikollaj said, pouring water out of his top hat onto the snow on Million-Dollar Beach.

Less formally garbed was Tim Jones of Saratoga, dressed only in a small red-andgreen Christmas-themed jockstrap that his friend Sue gave him.

“I feel under-dressed,” he said, emerging from the waters with his skin turning pink in the gusty frigid wind as he walked up the beach to put on some clothes. “I just thought I’d try a new challenge — and it wasn’t that bad.”

Bikinis, jock-straps, swimming briefs and formal suits weren’t the only swimwear.

Many plungers donned costumes — there was an array of partyers dressed as superheroes. One group of revelers were outfitted as Avengers comic-book characters. Chris

Ski lessons at Garnet Lake Lodge in North Creek JOHNSBURG — Youth Nordic Ski Program is being offered by Garnet Lake Lodge from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Sundays Jan. 6, 13th, 27, and Feb. 3.

The cost is $50 per person for all six weeks.

Tush Nikollaj — founder and CEO of LogicalNet of Schenectady — and his friend Lisa Krizmani emerge from the frigid waters of Lake George during the recent New Years’ Day Polar Swim. Their formal wear included Nikollaj’s Armani suit and Krizmani’s Versace designer dress, along with strap high heels. About 1,200 people took the plunge in the event, which featured plenty of revelry and good spirit despite temperatures in the low 20s and gusty frigid winds.

Folmsbee of Latham, costumed as Iron Man, lead his half-dozen friends into the waters without hesitation: they’ve launched each new year like this for four years straight. In past years they were dressed as ghost busters, pirates and Braveheart characters.

Emerging from underwater, Folmsbee said the swim was an invigorating tonic to start off 2013.

“If we punish ourselves today with this polar plunge, we’ll feel excellent tomorrow,” he said.

Behind Folmsbee was a large group of several dozen adults were on the beach, performing mass cheer routines. Dressed in red T-shirts emblazoned with the slogan “End Polio Now,” they were representing Rotary Clubs from the Capital Region, raising awareness of Rotary International’s world-

wide campaign to finally eradicate a persistent crippling disease, particularly among children. The group provides polio vaccine to many thousands of youngsters in thirdworld countries.

Poised to take a plunge in T-shirts and shorts, the group represented people ranging in age from their teens to their 80s.

Ann Cargile of Ballston Lake, 67, Past Rotary District Governor, said the group was committed to their cause.

“We want people to know about how devastating polio is, how people can lose the use of their arms and legs,” she said.

Fellow Rotary member Richard Hodge of Glen Lake, said he was ready to dive underwater for the cause.

“This is my 12th year,” he said. “It’s become a tradition — I love it.”

Dan Stec from page 1 businesses,” he said.

Also a top priority, he said, will be reducing the tax burden in New York state, which is nothing less than legendary.

“We have to work on reducing the cost of state government, and that includes entitlements and other things that drive the cost of living in our state through the roof,” he said.

This past week, Stec visited the reorganizational meetings of Essex County, Washington County, and his home turf of Warren County.

“I’m trying to continue to be as visible as possible in the 114th District and listen to my constituents’ concerns,” he said.

Stec’s influence in Albany will likely be bolstered by his appointment to several high-profile committees. Area political observers have been pleased that he received the appointments to influential posts despite being a freshman state Assembly representative.

Stec has been named to the Environmental, Tourism, Social Services, Banking, and Local Government committees.

He said that serving on the Environmental Conservation Committee would be particularly important, as that panel makes some vital decisions which effect residents of the southern Adirondacks.

www.adirondackjournal.com The state’s purchase of 69,000 acres of former Finch Pruyn land for $48 million over five years has been criticized by Adirondackers for the likelihood it will hamper the economy and curtail job growth.

“I’m not a fan of how the state acquired the land,” Stec said, noting that the first phase of the land sale closed about two weeks ago. “Rather than an outright sale, I’d like to see more land in conservation easements and classified as ‘working forests.’

There’s still room for work on how this sale is accomplished — I want to make sure local residents’ and community leaders’ concerns are addressed as much as possible.”

Another top priority is to curb costly and restrictive state government dictates passed down to local municipalities, he said.

Such mandate relief is vital for local jurisdictions — particularly school districts that pay heavy expenses related to meeting state regulations, Stec said.

“Talking with school superintendents through the district, they’ve identified mandated programs and expenses which need to be cut,” he said. “We need to be asking the question, ‘Is this a need or is it a want?’”

Stec said he was committed to reducing the size and cost of government, and he was ready to get to work on these causes.

“We must have a fiscally responsible state budget,” he said. “We have to be honest and realistic in the state of New York about what we can and cannot afford.”

Yoga classes at Arts Project LAKE GEORGE — Kundalini Yoga classes will be held Thursdays at 9 a.m. starting Jan. 17 in the Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery. Classes will be taught by Dana Nichinson, a certified Kundalini yoga teacher who has taught for years at studios in NYC including the famous Golden Bridge.

All levels are welcome. Each class includes an exercise set, a meditation, and a deep relaxation. The fee is $10 per class and each class runs for an hour and a half. Please call the Lake George Arts Project to register: 668-2616. For details, email Dana at:yogini@yoginikundalini.com.

Boat inspections from page 1 But late last year, Warren County leaders voted to draft a law requiring such an inspection program for all the county’s lakes, and newly elected state Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury) has cited that protection of Lake George and the area’s other waterways as one of his top legislative priorities.

Once skeptical of the program, local municipalities now primarily approve of the initiative. Warren County towns bordering the lake have enacted resolutions in support of mandatory inspection and decontamination. Major businesses, too, have voiced support, based on protecting tourism and economic vitality — which historically has been due to Lake George’s reputation as one of the purest lakes in the nation.

Peter Bauer, executive director of Protect the Adirondacks, noted the widespread support of the inspection program in a prepared statement issued this week.

“It’s critical for the economy and environment of Lake George that this new control program is created,” Bauer said. “It’s time

for DEC and the governor to heed the calls for help from around the lake and stop blocking this important new program.”

A pilot program this past summer demonstrated that a substantial number of boats entering the lake were carrying invasive plants and creatures.

Some members of the Lake George Park Commission, along with its new director Dave Wick, have called for enactment of the control measure. An initial proposal called for boat wash and inspection stations at Norowal Marina in Bolton and one on Lake George Village property near Northway Exit 21 and at the state’s boat launches at Rogers Rock and Mossy Point.

One of the issues concerning state officials has been the cost. It has been estimated that dock and boat registration fees would have to be boosted by about 75 percent to pay for the boat inspection and decontamination mandate, estimated to cost $700,000 annually. Those fee increases would be bolstered by a proposed $40 inspection fee for boats to be launched in Lake George.

Environmentalists note, however, that it is far more expensive to attempt to control invasives once they’re introduced rather than

Warren Co. supervisors talk about new invasive concern: carp

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — While the proliferation of invasive species in Lake George has to date meant the nuisance of stepping on sharp-edged Asian Clams or getting tangled in milfoil, Warren County Supervisors talked Tuesday of a new worry: an invasive species of fish weighing up to 100 pounds, known to jump in groups out of the water — and able to knock boaters overboard.

Silver carp, a member of the invasive Asian carp species, are easily scared into jumping up to 10 feet in the air, have been known to slam boaters in the face and knock them unconscious, as well as causing serious injuries including concussions and broken bones, according to the federal Environmental Protection Agency.

While the Silver carp have achieved fame in the televised Redneck Fishing Tournament in Illinois, they are also are a popular subject on YouTube, where there powerful and potentially injurious jumping abilities can be seen.

Asian carp, including the Silver carp variety, are spreading to various lakes across the U.S., and they disrupt the food chain and can crowd out native species.Because Asian carp are considered a threat to the environment, various government agencies including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are developing a national plan for controlling the creatures.

Recently, there’s been talk of enacting a $30 million program to keep the species out of the Great Lakes, where they’ve already been detected, with one lake preservation group leader calling the situation “an absolute emergency.”

Stressing they are committed to keeping Warren County waterways free of destructive invasive species, several Warren County supervisors said that Asian carp, although not now at Lake George’s doorstep, exemplify how disruptive and threatening invasive species can be.

“We wouldn’t want any of the Asian carp jumping out of Lake George and smacking a recreational boater in the head,” Chester Supervisor Fred Monroe said.

Bolton Supervisor Ron Conover said he’s seen the YouTube videos with dozens of carp jumping out of the water, posing a risk to boaters.

Those attending are welcome to bring hors d'oeuvres if they so wish, she said.

Stony Creek and area artists are invited to submit one piece of work. Due to limited space, the selection of artwork will be on a firstcome basis. The deadline to

prevent their introduction in the first place.

Over the past two years, area municipalities have spent more than $2 million in attempts to control the fast-reproducing Asian clams which foul the waters.

Lake George Town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson has suggested that a special tax district — consisting of lakeside properties — be created to help bankroll the program.

The letter to Cuomo and Martens cites that the Park Commission is seeking to move forward on with the mandatory program in several weeks.

“Aquatic invasive species are one of the major threats facing the ecological health and economy of Lake George and the Adirondack Park,” the letter reads. “These species can rapidly change the ecology of a lake, wetland, stream or river as well as significantly impair and diminish recreational enjoyment.”

The letter also warns of the probability, in the absence of a boat inspection and decontamination program, of how Lake George is likely to be infected with quagga mussels

and hydrilla, two major threats to waterborne recreation and lake health.

Diane Fish of the Adirondack Council voiced such a warning this week, noting that hydrilla now infects the Finger Lakes and quagga mussels have spread throughout the Great Lakes and many other waterbodies in the state.

“Introduction of either of these species to Lake George would be devastating to the lake,” she said. “We need a comprehensive boat management program to protect Lake George, which is one of the busiest lakes in the Adirondacks.”

David Gibson of Adirondack Wild said such a program is essential to lake health because the invasive species are primarily spread by boats launched on one waterway after another. He cited that more than 15,000 boats use Lake George each year and over 5,000 transitory boats annually purchase temporary permits.

“A comprehensive control program would dramatically reduce the risk of further detrimental infestations on Lake George.”

Warren County chair from page 1 “Sometimes things got testy, but we as a group held together, made it through the hard times, and created a better future for the county as a whole,” he said. “It was the county as a group — employees, department heads, the county administrator and his staff, and the supervisors — that made it happen.”

Accomplishments he cited for 2012 included: •Avoiding short-term borrowing to meet cash flow needs; •Efficiency improvements in the Office of the Aging mealsite program; •Standardization of copiers and printers prompting significant savings; •Effective, forward-thinking multi-year financial planning; •Meeting the state tax cap limits without draining the county’s fund balance; •Developing the bi-county fire training center; •Accomplishing major progress on the Charles Wood Park; •Rebuilding Beach Road with environmentally friendly, state-of-the-art porous pavement; •Cleaning up brownfield properties and returning them to the tax rolls; •Launching a prohibition of synthetic marijuana before
