Kooky ‘Downhill Derby’ set for Saturday

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — For 36 years, local residents have fashioned weird craft — anything from simple cardboard creations to complex or bizarre feats of engineering — to slide down the snowy slope of Dynamite Hill Ski area.

The fun-filled Krazy Downhill Derby & Broomball Tournament has been a way for local residents to fend off cabin fever by socializing, mixed with some friendly competition.

This year, participation in the event is expected to be greater than ever.

LAKE GEORGE — For two years, downcounty politicians heave threatened to scrap the Warren County Fish Hatchery in Warrensburg.

But fierce lobbying efforts by upcounty sportsmen have saved the rare facility, which not only raises fish to stock area waterways, but features a popular picnic and recreation area for gatherings as well as a destination for environmental science students.

Now, a Queensbury woman — contrary to the position of many politicians from southern Warren county — is single-handedly seeking to boost the fortunes and protect the future of the hatchery.

She’s now lobbying to make the historic hatchery an eco-tourist attraction, as well as raise awareness among natural science teachers and boost the facility’s status as an educational resource.

“The fish hatchery is really impressive to me, and it’s something we shouldn’t just let go,” she said, noting it is just one of three county-run hatcheries in the state. “We should all appreciate the assets we have locally.”

She is also seeking to better

LAKE GEORGE — The concluding weekend of the 50th anniversary Lake George Winter Carnival is expected to feature favorable weather and a wide range of activities, event organizers said early this week.

With sub-freezing temperatures predicted, solid ice on the lake and plenty of snow on the ground, the conditions appear to be quite good, they said.

“We welcome everyone to come out and enjoy a whole bunch of family-oriented activities,” Carnival official Kathi Kokalas said.

“We’ve got all kinds of things going on.”

Headlining the weekend is the second-annual Lake George Sled Dog Races, in which competitors from all over the Northeast and midwestern U.S. earn points towards national and international championships.

The races will be conducted both Saturday and Sunday by the New England Sled Dog Club, group member Rainer Wischinski of southern New Hampshire said Tuesday.

Wischinski said that the Club members will be bringing about 40 teams to compete, or about double the number last year. This number may be increased even more, he said, as the club has been hearing that a good number of racers from the Midwest are planning to come to Lake George. Racers from Ohio, West Virginia and elsewhere are

At its Feb. 14 meeting, the Bolton Central School Board of Education discussed the topic of combining fall sports programs with Warrensburg Central, and the outcome was that existing BCS sports will likely stay in place for at least another year.

Board president Dennis Murphy said that Warrensburg Central Athletic Director Steve Nolan and BCS Superintendent of Schools Ray Ciccarelli shared conversations regarding Warrensburg's soccer program joining Bolton Central’s, as well as an offer for Bolton students to join the Warrensburg Girls Volleyball team.

Murphy told his board members that the Warrensburg School Board was facing “budget difficulties" and did not want to cut programs. Murphy said that if the teams were to join forces, no team names or uniform colors would change.

Concerns were raised that if the two soccer teams were to merge, the Sectional classification would change from class D to C and the players would face stiffer competition.

Bolton School board members remarked that Bolton doesn't have budget problems like Warrensburg is encountering.

BCS School Board member Carl Schoder said he was sympathetic to Warrensburg’s financial crunch, and he suggested that Warrensburg contact North Warren, Hadley Luzerne or Lake George to explore the possibility of merging teams.

After much discussion, the board reached a consensus that there would be no changes for the upcoming 2011-2012 school year. It was decided that if Warrensburg Central still faces such a dilemma in the 2012-2013 season, the BCS school board would again consider discussing potential sports team mergers.

After argument on Facebook, man arrested on charge of choking girlfriend Feb. 9 — Judge Mindy Fisk presiding • The case of Colson N. Powell, 21, of River St., Warrensburg, was adjourned to March 2. He is charged with the Misdemeanor of choking another person. Police said he choked his girlfriend at about 2 a.m. Feb. 1, rendering her unable to breath and talk.

He’s also charged with a Misdemeanor of Criminal Mischief for throwing her cell phone against the wall. The woman told police that two days earlier, she had been riding in the car with Colson, and she asked for one cigarette then another, after which he punched her in her face. She told police days later she didn’t report it to authorities because she didn’t think he would do it again.

Following the incident in the car, she described the situation on Facebook, arguing with him on the social website whether he had punched and injured her, or merely pushed her in the face over bothering him for cigarettes, which is what he later told police. She told police the Facebook argument prompted her boyfriend to come home angry on Feb. 1. She said in a statement Powell jumped on her in bed, choked her, and later pushed her into a baby swing and television, and that she was worried because her baby was present in the room. They both admitted throwing each others’ cell phones against the wall. He told police that he didn’t choke her.

• Anthony R. Lambert, 25, of Rocky Ridge, Warrensburg, pled Guilty to Possession of Marijuana, based on an incident at 10:50 p.m. Jan. 28 following a traffic stop on state Rte. 9 for an inadequate muffler. At that time, Lambert possessed a smoking pipe

“If we promoted it properly and develop its programs, we could put many more ‘heads in beds,’” she said.

Farrington said that decades ago she grew up with an orientation toward environmental stewardship, but it was a trip to a wellpublicized and busy fish hatchery in tourism destination Branson, Mo. that really fueled her interest in reviving Warren County’s similar facility.

At a recent county Board of Supervisors meeting, she lobbied county Tourism director Cate Johnson and county Public Works Superintendent Jeff Tennyson to print brochures about the hatchery, pinpoint it on tourism maps, advertise it on county web-

and Baggie, both containing marijuana.

Lambert was sentenced to a fine and surcharge totaling $225.

• Vincent J. Rathbun, 41, of Lake George, admitted to Violation of Probation, based on convictions last year of Aggravated DWI, Criminal Mischief and Harassment when he kicked a police officer and attempted to kick out a police car window while he was being transported to a station. Rathbun was resentenced to 6 months in jail.

• A judgement of $1,220 was granted to landlord Roger Shaw for 2+ months of unpaid rent at 3664 Main St. on behalf of Merle Ann Humiston, Frank Salvaggio and Mark Shasteen. Shaw was granted an order to evict the three from their one-bedroom apartment.

• Lance C. Johnson, 21, of High St., Athol, pled Guilty to the Misdemeanor of Criminal Trespass. He was sentenced to a conditional discharge, and was ordered to pay only a mandatory surcharge of $125. On Nov. 27, he entered a residence at 116 Hudson St. in Warrensburg at about 3 a.m. and stayed there unlawfully until the female tenant called police. Johnson had told police he went into the home because it was cold outside, and he couldn’t get into his sister ’s locked house next door, and needed to use a phone to call her. An order of protection issued barring him from contacting the woman.

• Carrie L. Rabideau, 38, of Sewell St., Lake George, was granted an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal. She had been charged in a police sting aimed at convenience store clerks selling alcoholic beverages to minors. She had been charged with the Misdemeanor of Unlawfully Dealing with a Child for selling beer to a 19-year-old without asking for identification.

• The cases of Darrin Baker, Delila Fish, David Goodell, Clifford Johnson IV, John Peluso II and Kenneth Wilkins, were adjourned to Feb. 23. The case of James Miller was adjourned to March 9. The case of James Cutler was adjourned to an undetermined date. A bench warrant was issued for Carrie McComsey of 34, of Lake George, on a charge of Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle. sites, and erect signs around the county directing visitors to the facility.

Tennyson said Farrington’s efforts were welcome.

“Our fish hatchery serves an important role in outdoor sports in Warren County,” he said. “We do have the opportunity to create a tourist destination, and it’s nice when a member of the public gets excited over it.”

Tennyson said raising the fish hatchery profile would have its rewards, but people should realize it’s already a vital resource.

“A recent state study indicated the hatchery has a huge impact on our local economy,” he said.

Farrington wants to take it further.

After studying the marketing and utilization of the Branson hatchery, she’s ready to lobby for similar initiatives here.

Naturalists, perhaps borrowed from the county’s Up Yonda Educational Farm in Bolton, could teach children to fish — or the

Teens charged with underage drinking WARRENSBURG — Ten names were released this week, revealing the teens involved in an underage drinking parking in Warrensburg two weeks ago. They were charged with underage possession of alcohol, a non-criminal violation.

They include: * Alexander J. Mcalonen, 17, of Bakers Mills. * Kayce E. Duell, 17, of Warrensburg. * Audette R. Ambrosino, 17, of South Glens Falls.

art of fly-tying — at the hatchery, she said.

The hatchery’s environmental displays, both indoor and outdoors, should be expanded, she added.

Visits to the hatchery by area students could be multiplied by hatchery employees giving introductory presentations at schools. Signs at the 29 waterways where the county stocks fish could host signs advertising that the fish were raised locally, she said.

The county could develop a mobile display set-up that could be trucked out to fishing derbys and other community events, she said.

Colorful, informative brochures depicting the hatchery could be distributed to area motels and accommodations. Signs should be scattered around the county leading tourists to the site, where regular tours could be conducted. Her ideas were detailed in a 1,200-word email she sent out this week to county leaders.

Tennyson noted that such initiatives would be difficult with the hatchery’s present staffing, after the deep cutbacks the county Parks & Recreation Department has endured for four years. The department has shed five positions over that time due to financial constraints and the hatchery now only has two employees, who are primarily busy raising fish.

“We’re down to a skeleton crew now,” Tennyson said.

Farrington said she was prepared to seek assistance and support in her campaign from area fish and game clubs.

Warrensburg Supervisor Kevin Geraghty said Farrington’s efforts were beneficial both for the county and the town of Warrensburg.

“Anything we can do to better utilize the county facility and make it more financially viable — including bringing in private donations — I’m all for it,” he said.

Boltonians beat the cold with a tropical fest in the town garage

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com BOLTON LANDING — Although many residents flee to Florida or sunny climates during the frigid months, a large group of local folks visited tropical territory Saturday — in the town garage.

About 160 people of all ages attended annual Cabin Fever Cure-All Party on Feb. 19, with many sporting Polynesian attire and donning leis handed out at the door.

This fundraiser for the Bolton Free Library was held in two bays of the concrete-block garage, decked out with tropical decorations.

Complete with restaurant-donated delicacies and hours of music, the event was such a smash hit that people stayed around and danced for about an hour after the party was supposed to end, event organizer Emma Calautti said.

“We couldn’t stop it when the time was up — it had a life of its own,” she said. “Slam, bang, pop, wow! — it was a tremendous success.”

While parents socialized, children played on a minibeach created with sand hauled in by the town highway workers.

The party-goers didn’t

mind sharing the garage with its snowplows and bulldozers in nearby bays, because the floor was heated and there was plenty of room for eating the buffet dinner and dancing afterwards, Calautti said.

“We knew it would be the best place to hold the party,” she said. “The road and parking lot are the bestplowed sites in town.”

The attendees ate food with a tropical flair while basking in light from illuminated faux palm trees plus listening and dancing to Jimmy Buffett music, Calautti said.

“Whether it was the dancing, bouncing beachballs, or kids playing in the sand, it was incredible fun,” she said.

Tropical decorations included luau lamps, parrots, hula skirts hanging on the walls, and table decorations of exotic silk flowers and sea shells. To take home a photo memento of the occasion, Partyers poked their heads through a scenic prop that depicted a couple in surfer swimwear.

Sue Ferdinand, of Faces

by Ferdinand, donated her time painting faces with exotic tropical flowers.

Tom Brady played guitar for the dinner hour, followed by a local classicrock group featuring Bill Campbell, Calautti said.

“The Blue Moon Band really got people shakin’ their sandals,” she said.

Local businesses donating food for the event in-

cluded Frederick’s Restaurant, Cate’s Italian Garden, Lakeside Restaurant, and The Ryefield Restaurant, and Palazzo’s Pizzeria.

Many people prepared and donated food for the event, including Jodi Connelly who concocted savory Caribbean beef stew, Calautti said.

All the partying aside, one highlight of the evening was honoring Bolton Library Director Megan Baker for 30 years of service. She was presented with a celebratory cake as well as proclamations from U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, state Sen. Betty Little, state Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward and others.

Ina Monroe, along with Juli Baker — Megan’s sister — baked the anniversary cake.

Calautti said she and others throwing the party were thankful for all the volunteer held, which included cooking, set up, and cleanup.

“It was wonderful for the community to get together and have this kind of night,” she said. “Everybody was really rockin’.”

Megan Baker said she was happy that so many people demonstrated their support for the library.

“The turnout was incredible, and it was an amazing success,” she said. “Thanks go to everyone involved.”

Opinion Adirondack Journal Editorial

Will the ethics board be the answer?

Statements posted to our Web site after our 2010 nepotism coverage (Specific names have been ommitted) • “A new job description was drawn up for a family member who did not place in the top three on the Civil Service Examination.”

• “A family member got hired ‘provisionally,’ before an exam for the position was posted, which sent a message to other applicants that the position had been filled, making it easier for (this person) to place in the top three on the exam.”

• “An employee that would have been fired from any other job is just being moved from one department to another to another because of who they know.”

• “Positions that do not require a civil service examination are almost always given to those with political pull.”

• “People here are afraid they’ll lose their job if they step forward about our abusive department head.”

• “A department head bent the county’s hiring policy to hire someone without a high school diploma.”

O

ne year ago at this time Denton Publications took on the sensitive issue of Essex County’s hiring practices — more specifically, if nepotism plays a part in the process.

Through news articles and editorials, we shined light on the fact that some families seem to be better represented in the county’s hallowed halls, and that hiring practices may have played a role in that.

Or, at least, that some taxpayers seem to think so.

Specific allegations of abuse — some of which are printed above — began pouring in from readers, perhaps more than we’ve ever received about a given topic.

Apparently fearing retribution, many of these comments were posted online by anonymous authors like “disgruntled,” “seen it all” and “tired of it.”

True or untrue, county leaders seemed to take notice, and they pledged to create an ethics board to remove public perception that political or family bias exists in the county’s hiring procedures.

It now appears the county is finally poised to follow through on its promise and appoint a five-member ethics board at its March meeting.

As we did one year ago, we’d like to applaud supervisors for this initiative. At the same time, we’d like to go on record as saying the devil will most definitely be in the details if the ethics board is going to have the desired effect.

Since it will be governed by the state’s

Open Meetings Law, the board, in our opinion, should be open to the press and public scrutiny whenever possible. If for nothing else, than to dispel the rumors that propagate when government exists behind closed doors.

It also must be allowed to operate without regard to political influence. A tall order in a county the size of Essex with its history of small-town power politicians and back-room caucuses.

At the same time, county employees must be comfortable with approaching the ethics board without concern for retribution or loss of livelihood.

Those concerns are evident in the statements printed above that we received online following our coverage of potential nepotism.

In these instances, Robert Freeman of the state Committee on Open Government, said the law allows the board to enter into executive session, in the interest of an employee’s anonymity.

Then, board members must be comfortable recommending policy changes that stem from these conversations in open session — even if those recommendations directly impact friends and family of the officials they report to.

Lastly, we encourage the board to divulge to the public what others have successfully kept quiet — when a new employee is a direct relative of a county supervisor or other county official in an influential position.

We say err on the side of transparency, every time.

The fact is there is a lot of skepticism among taxpayers that the creation of this board was nothing more than a knee-jerk reaction to the press coverage that occurred a year ago.

Many feel the ethics board is simply more smoke screen and mirrors, created to appease inquiring minds — perhaps even make it easier to perpetuate questionable practices, under a system ruled by a few.

It is therefore incumbent on supervisors to prove the naysayers wrong. To make the tough changes recommended by the board in an unbiased manner, and to do it in the public eye.

Otherwise, the statements made one year ago by those who actually had a legitimate gripe will again fall on deaf ears.

And it will be back to business as usual.

Council: Don’t blame us for delays in resort review *Editor’s Note: The following is in response to our editorial about the proposed Adirondack Club & Resort published in the Feb. 19 edition of our publications. our editorial of Feb. 15 unfairly attacked the Adirondack Council for its participation in the Adirondack Park Agency’s review of the proposed Adirondack Club & Resort in Tupper Lake. The Adirondack Council has done nothing to delay the review process for the proposed 700-unit resort. In fact, we have been waiting for, and urging, the applicant to bring his final plans to the Park Agency for years now.

In the meantime, we hired a consultant to find sustainable-development grants for the community – an effort that returned nearly $1 million in community development funds directly to Tupper Lake to date.

In 2009, the Adirondack Council spent weeks of its time and thousands of dollars sending a team to every major media outlet in the state. We urged the public to support a Constitutional Amendment that brought a new, reliable electric power supply to Tupper Lake, where blackouts had been common. We were the only private organization to do so. The amendment was approved by more than a 2to-1 margin statewide.

In 2007, it was the Adirondack Council that proposed a series of mediation sessions to settle the remaining issues identified by the Adirondack Park Agency as obstacles to obtaining a development permit for the Adirondack Club and Resort. It was the applicants who called a halt to those sessions, despite the progress being made.

If the Council were dead set against the project, we would have no interest in mediation. We would have sought to begin the formal, court-style hearing right away.

That would have ensured a long and costly review. Instead, the Council suggested informal meetings and offthe-record discussions to speed up the review and reduce costs.

Y

We also encouraged the applicants to seek the permits they need from the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation and Department of Health. This, we hoped, would save time and money for both sides by eliminating some of those 10 unresolved issues before the APA’s formal public hearings began. The applicants refused. They still don’t have those permits, so even if the APA were to approve the project today, it could take a very long time before the first shovel of dirt is turned over.

Shortly after the mediation sessions started, however, the international economy slowed to a crawl. The bottom fell out of the real estate market. In the Adirondacks, the Front Street development planned for North Creek, which connected the Ski Bowl to Gore Mountain state-run ski center, has yet to get off the ground. Front Street received all of its permits from the APA, DEC and DOH more than two years ago. Hundreds of homes and several hotels were approved near Route 28, but all remain unbuilt. So, don’t blame the Adirondack Council, or the Adirondack Park Agency, for delays in the permit review. Resort properties just aren’t selling right now.

The Adirondack Council has many members in Tupper Lake, all of whom are concerned for the future of the community. Two of our staff members are natives of the region and graduated from Tupper Lake schools. You know most of our staff lives full time in the Park, yet you persist in labeling us as outsiders.

Of all local publications, Denton Pubs ought to know better. You are just a few blocks away from our headquarters in Elizabethtown. You have always been welcome to stop in for a chat. Despite throwing this verbal brick through our window, you still are.

SATURDAY February 26, 2011

Alexander T. Pasko, a grand old man, was born in Chestertown, the son of Levy Pasko. He settled in Warrensburgh in 1849 and became a dealer in harness and “horse furniture” in a house on the now vacant area two lots north of today’s Glens Falls National Bank. (Note: The Sturdevan Bakery is now Riverside Gallery and perhaps the Patterson house is the house behind the old bakery on Elm St. Mrs. Thomas Cunningham, the former Miss Mary E. Burdick, lived on the corner of Main St. and today’s Stewart Farrar Avenue, in those days called School Street. Her beautiful 150 year old house was razed Nov. 9, 2000. H. Prior King was a successful lawyer, one of the grandsons of famous early Warrensburgh settler Pelatiah Richards whose opulent home once stood in the north end of today’s Grand Union parking lot.

It was also at one time the home of Paul Gilchrist, who is currently president of the Warrensburgh Historical Society.)

•100 Years Ago – Feb.-March 1911• Fleeing from the law Charles Andrus, 23, the youth who is accused by the authorities of murdering Johnsburgh farmer William Hopkins, then setting fire to the house in which both men were staying, was captured at a farmhouse near Northville at 9 a.m.

March 21, 1911 by Constable Charles Baker of Bakers Mills.

After driving a day and a half in a blinding snowstorm over country roads filled with drifted snow and frequently losing his way, the officer finally located Andrus at the home of William Baker to whom Andrus had hired out as a woodcutter. The constable took the prisoner into custody and arrived with him at 4:50 p.m. in Glens Falls where he was lodged in a cell at police headquarters and later taken to North Creek.

Andrus had come to the Baker farmhouse at daybreak after walking more than 30 miles through fields and forests the day before and was practically exhausted. He sought work as a woodcutter and William Baker had hired him. He showed the effects of exposure and cold he had endured.

When he recognized by the constable he began to cry and remarked that whiskey had got the best of him. He admitted to the officer that he had struck Hopkins and than left him in the burning room which had become ignited by the overturning and explosion of an oil lamp. He said that both he and Hopkins were intoxicated and he had only struck him when Hopkins had come at him with a pitchfork.

The crime was committed at an old house owned by Fred Jenks, formerly owned by the late Albert Jenks as Hopkins had rented the place for two years. Andrus is generally regarded as a half-witted giant as he is much over six feet tall.

Those who know him cite his eccentric ways. He lived with his parents on the Dalaba place near Mill Creek.

Sorrow and sad times at Darrowsville

The Peletiah Richards house, built in 1832, was later known as the King House when it was the residence of Pelatiah’s grandson Fred King. It stood on Main St. on what is now the north end of the Grand Union Parking lot. In 1941, it was acquired by Paul Gilchrist Sr. and was run for about 35 years as a motel. playmate in his boyhood days of A.T. Pasko of Warrensburgh. He came to this village when he was a young man and conducted a harness business and sold out to Mr. Pasko.

He and his wife then moved to Glens Falls.

Emma Landon was a sister of Elizabeth Patterson, who with her mother, Julia Patterson lived and died in a large house near the Sturdevan Bakery on which property they owned for scores of years. She was a cousin of Mrs. Thomas Cunningham and the late Caroline Patterson.

Mrs. Landon was a lifelong member of the Presbyterian Church in Warrensburgh and was a lady of true Christian charity. One of the business blocks on Warren St. in Glens Falls is known as the Landon block. Since the death of her husband in 1898 she has boarded with the H. Prior King family in Glens Falls. She died Feb. 3, 1911 in Albany and is buried in the Warrensburgh Cemetery.

Charles Harpp, 19, the youngest son of Sarah Ann Harpp, died March 18, 1911 at the home of his brother, Fred Harpp in Darrowsville, Chester, after four weeks illness with pneumonia. Early in the winter he contracted whooping cough, followed by the grippe. This left his lungs in such a weakened condition that he was unable to withstand the ravages of pneumonia which followed. He is survived by his widowed mother, five brothers, George, Uriah, Arthur, William and Fred Harpp and one sister, Mrs. Fred Vanderwerker.

The boy had tried to sing with his weak voice, “Rock of Ages,” only a few hours before his death and the hymn was sung at his funeral. The bearers were Howard Seage, Grant Hill, Floyd Saville and Fayette McKee, all schoolmates of the deceased.

This is the fourth death in the family within a month. First was the father, Isaac Harpp, than the eldest son, Ernest Harpp and finally George Harpp, a nephew. William Harpp has been ill for three weeks with pneumonia, but is slowly recovering.

In other news, Charlotte Moulton, 69, widow of Josiah Moulton, died at the home of her son, Clarence Carpenter on River St., Warrensburgh after a week’s illness of blood poisoning. She leaves one other son, Lafayette Carpenter of Indian Lake. Burial was in the Darrowsville Cemetery.

Man dies waiting for the doctor Jeremiah Donovan, 64, a lifelong resident of Warrensburgh and North Caldwell, died Monday night, Feb. 27, 1911 at the Warren House in Warrensburgh.

He lived alone on the Donovan farm in North Caldwell and had been in poor health for several years. On Monday he came to Warrensburgh to consult Dr. Griffin. The physician was out of town and Donovan decided to remain at the Warren House hotel until his return. He was in a serious condition from heart and kidney trouble. On Tuesday morning Mrs. O’Connor went to his room and when he did not answer her repeated knocks, she entered his room and found him dead in bed. His two sisters, Anna Doyle and Ellen Donovan came to claim his body. He was buried March 1, 1911 in St. Cecilia’s Cemetery, Warrensburgh.

Alexander From page 6 very careful in crafting letters urging common sense, restrain and greater understanding. So many of the dollars spent by our governments have transitioned from support to entitlements and it’s that feeling of entitlement that now has us trapped in this “win at all cost” environment. At what point does tolerance and understanding enter the equation? Is the elimination of 100 percent of a program’s funding retribution or a wise choice of spending, and if the program was that much of a waste of funds, how has funding lasted this long?

When any of us spends a dollar out of our pocket, we ask ourselves two key questions: “Can I afford this?” and “Do I think I will get value in return for the dollar spent?”

When it’s not your money, it becomes much easier to not treat it like it’s your last dollar.

We simply will not solve these difficult financial issues unless we all agree that we are at a critical a crossroads, that we must all make scarifies and that every dollar must be treated like it’s our last.

For too many years, we’ve transferred the personal responsibility for the dollars spent by government to elected officials who have been as much the problem as those of us

who’ve gone to them with our hands held out asking for more. I’ll never forget a school superintendent saying to me years ago at a school budget meeting, with hundreds in attendance, that this was “free money” he was looking to spend. Money has never been free, but with that type of thinking, is it any wonder why we are all demanding the fair share we are entitled to receive?

The solution to solve these difficult financial decisions should not rest with those who scream the loudest, threaten retribution or create work stoppages. Our democracy through our elected officials must rise to the occasion and give serious and honest debate to the merits of these programs and show the world how we can govern with openness and fairness to all. We have always known that the freedoms we enjoy come with a heavy price. Shared sacrifice, compassion for those less fortunate, and a return to the values that made this a nation of strength, understanding and opportunity must prevail in the days ahead. If we fail to reach shared compromise, I fear the days ahead are filled with disruptive discourse when we should be focused on constructive growth.

Tough choices can’t always be at the other side’s expense.

After a year of intense suffering, Mary Elizabeth Irish, wife of Hiram Hammond of Lake George, died Feb. 21, 1911 in the Glens Falls Hospital. Mrs. Hammond was born in Lake George, April 20, 1878 and had spent her life in that village.

On Oct. 12, 1908 she married Hiram Hammond of that same place. She is survived by her husband, two brothers, William and Arthur Irish, both of Lake George and four sisters.

Early last spring the lady went to Glens Falls Hospital to undergo an operation for appendicitis which was not successful. For months she hovered between life and death before she was finally allowed to return home. She was taken back to the hospital where she was again subjected to the knife which was more than her poor body could bear but in time she was again released.

She was taken back to the hospital for the last time to spend three more hours under the knife but there was little hope left for her recovery and she sank into her last sleep.

Mr. Hammond, worn out after a year of hope and despair, was taken to the hospital in serious condition and physicians have fear of a complete breakdown.

Letters to the Editor a cap on the state’s local tax payments ‘Common Ground’ just would have a “devastating effect on future land acquisition.” a gesture with the The Council says that logging is the only benefit from the private ownership of the Adirondack Council Finch Pruyn lands. But what about the ecoTo the Adirondack Journal: The Adirondack Council just displayed its real character for all to see. Its mean-spirited public reaction to the APA Local Government Review Board’s resolution opposing the state’s purchase of 60,000 acres of former Finch Pruyn lands and 14,600 acres of land surrounding Follensby Pond is the opposite to the council’s repetitious pronouncements of “common ground” with local residents.

The Council has almost no common ground with the local communities. It exhibited a posture of common ground when it made the public gesture in early 2009 of joining hands with local governments when Gov. Paterson proposed a cap on state real estate tax payments on the three million acres of Adirondack Park land the state owns.

However, this could have been a calculated position. Neil Woodworth, executive director of the preservationist Adirondack Mountain Club, said during that debate that

What about the closing of the logging roads, leaving almost no access to the 100-square-mile tract for the hunters and others? And why not preserve logging? It not only serves the local economy, but promotes biodiversity (which is generally pitiful where the “forever wild” designation applies) and makes local, sustainably harvested timber available.

The local governments do not need “common ground” with the Adirondack Council — That’s a trap.

Carnival From page 1

Members of the New England Sled Dog Club compete during the 2010 Lake George Winter Carnival. This weekend, 40 teams of sled dogs — double the number of last year — are expected in internationally-sanctioned competition slated as the premier event of the Carnival’s 2011 closing weekend.

Members from the Adirondack Motor Enthusiasts Club race over the frozen surface of Lake George during Saturday’s installment of the Lake George Winter Carnival. Leading this lap is Dave Burnham from Delanson, NY driving a ‘super modified’ vehicle that reached speeds up to 120 miles per hour on the mile-long track.

ice — available for a fee.

There’s also the carnival’s longstanding Polar Plunge event, featuring dozens of brave swimmers charging into the frigid lake — a favorite spectator event set for 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The plunge is preceded at 2:30 p.m. by the Snowmobile Water Skip, in which a sled pilot careens over open waters for 100 yards or more, defying gravity.

In addition, wood- and ice-carving demonstrations are to occur intermittently Saturday and Sunday, along with Frisbee Golf demonstrations conducted by personnel of Natural Stone Bridge & Caves of Pottersville.

Carnival activities include a bonfire Saturday on the Shepard Park Beach from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., featuring marshmallow roasting and participants creating their own s’mores with the savory ingredients provided. This heartwarming family activity, with Ritchie Ortiz leading campfire songs, is followed by fireworks, Kokalas said.

This past week, the bonfire with s’mores was a crowd favorite, including a mini-bonfire in an outdoor fireplace where children can roast marshmallows without singeing their eyebrows, Kokalas said.

Also entertaining the crowd were dozens of giant colorful kites flying above the ice of Lake George, assisted by some strong breezes. They were piloted by members of the New York Kite Flying Enthusiasts who intermittently gave bystanders some tips on the sport, kokalas said.

“It was beautiful to see the huge kites sail out over the lake Saturday and Sunday,” she said. “We had a good wind.”

The breezes, however, altered the hot air balloon fly-off and Moonglow, so the balloonists blasted their gas jets without the balloon envelopes aloft.

Thrilling the motor-sports enthusiasts, the car races held Saturday and Sunday by Adirondack Motor Enthusiast Club attracted considerably more spectators than recent years, Kokalas said.

“The car racers and the spectators showed up in force,” she said.

Ice diving demonstrations conducted by Rich Morin Diving of Glens Falls were also very popular, as some of his student divers gained experience for certification.

Winning Saturday’s chowder cookoff was Fort William Henry Resort, followed by Lake George Holiday Inn and Mario’s Restaurant. Hungry Carnival-goers also enjoyed entries from Duffy's Tavern, Shepard's Cove, The East Cove, Olde Log Inn, Prospect Mt. Diner, Bella's Deli, US Foods and the Meat House of Saratoga.

Reflecting on the last installment of the 50th anniversary of the carnival coming to a close this weekend, Kokalas spoke of the success the event has enjoyed this year.

“Everyone has really been enjoying the activities, old and new,” she said. “We’re receiving a lot of positive feedback through our Facebook page and Web site.”

headed to Lake George due to race cancellations in the heartland caused by warm weather, he said.

With temperatures in Lake George expected to stay below freezing this weekend, the sled dog racers are expecting to enjoy some keen competition, Wischinski said.

“We’re looking forward to two full days of racing,” he said. “We enjoy Lake George — the people are very friendly there.”

Last year, in the local race’s debut during Winter Carnival, slushy ice cancelled races on Saturday, but volunteers shoveled snow onto a course so the competition could be held Sunday.

This year, the sled dog races are likely to be held on the Warren County snowmobile trails near the Lake George transfer station off state Rte. 9N near Northway Exit 21. The races had been tentatively set to occur on the ice of Lake George, but the location was changed due to recent snowfall on the lake not being heavy enough.

Also planned for the Carnival this weekend is a chicken wing cookoff, the last in four cooking competitions that have prompted a record participation this year.

Both Saturday and Sunday, activities include tethered hot air balloon rides starting at 8:30 a.m. — weather permitting — and a variety of children’s activities and fun games for both youth and adults on the ice from noon to 2 p.m. inside King Neptune's tavern. New helicopter excursions join the ever-popular dog-sled rides and skydiving sessions over the

Refreshments will be served in the ski hut, and prizes will be awarded.

There is a minimal $3 per-person fee for entering. For details, call 494-2722, or visit: www.northwarren.com.

Lindsey Meade noted for achievements in and out of school CHESTERTOWN — Lindsey Meade, a Senior at North Warren Central School has been named Student of the Month by the Chestertown Rotary Club.

The daughter of Kent and Sharon Meade of Pottersville, Lindsey has achieved regional notoriety for her vocal performances, plus local acclaim for her work in various school and community-based drama productions.

She has sung the National Anthem in front of thousands of American Hockey League spectators at games of the Adirondack Phantoms at the Glens Falls Civic Center.

Also, she has auditioned for American Idol, as well as winning a variety of awards in regional vocal competitions. In 2009, she took top honors the Lake George Has Talent Contest, a summerlong competition.

Meade was recruited to sing God Bless America and the National Anthem recently at a naturalization ceremony at the federal courthouse in Albany, a perform-

ance that prompted tears in the eyes of many of the new citizens.

Lindsey has taken vocal lessons at SUNY Adirondack, and she sings lead vocals with a popular area band. Lindsey’s talents extend to other fields as well, including athletics, community service, and leadership pursuits.

Throughout high school, Lindsey has been an important element of the Girls Varsity Field Hockey and Girls

Basketball teams.

The Cougars’ 2010 Field Hockey team, of which Meade was a member, climbed up from a last-place ranking to capture the Adirondack League cochampionship.

Lindsey has also served as a student council representative, and was active in SUNY Model Organization of American States group as part of a delegation to Washington, D.C. Her volunteer work includes service for the Community Thanksgiving

Dinner, and a spinal cord research benefit event. She is active in Interact, a youth outreach of the local Rotary chapter.

Meade is considering a career in the areas of music therapy or counseling, according to school counselor Michael Therio, who described her as friendly, caring, insightful and dedicated to serving others.

“Lindsey is a true asset to the North Warren Class of 2011,” he said.

CONSTRUCTION

LAKE GEORGE — A series of fundraisers has been planned to raise money to construct the proposed Lake George Skateboard Park.

A spaghetti dinner is scheduled for Saturday, March 5 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Sacred Heart Church. Take-out meals are available. Also, a continuing series of video game tournaments have been scheduled for upcoming Sundays at Pizza Jerks, a restaurant just south of the intersection of Iroquois and Amherst streets in Lake George.

A group of teenagers at Lake George Central School have been working for years to develop a skateboard park, and last year, Village Mayor Robert Blais advocated constructing it on the northwest plot of the West Brook Environmental Park now being developed on the former Gaslight Village site. Sop far, the skateboard park development effort has raised a sum less than $20,000 towards the projected $70,000 project cost.

PLATTSBURGH — A 54-year-old Canadian man was sentenced to nearly two decades in federal prison last week for trying to smugly 50,000 Ecstasy pills into the United States.

According to news release issued by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Plattsburgh, Mitchell Mark David of Cornwall will spend 19 years in prison and serve 10 years of post-release supervision.

Prosecutors say David admitted to four charges following his arrest at the Massena Point of Entry in July 2009. At the time of his arrest, agents found 50,000 Ecstasy pills hidden inside the spare tire of his minivan.

A U.S. District Court Judge said David was involved in an intricate drug-trafficking scheme that saw him bring Ecstasy into the U.S. in exchange for cocaine and money.

David smuggled the drugs through the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation.

Prosecutors say he pleaded guilty to one count each of conspiracy to possess a controlled substance with intent to distribute, possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, conspiracy to import a controlled substance, and importing a controlled substance.

Mandate relief main topic at inter-county meeting

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Why do county officials have to be the bad guys?

That was the question that county representatives asked during the monthly meeting of the Intercounty Legislative Committee of the Adirondacks, held at the Essex County government center Feb. 17.

The comments were made during a presentation on the proposed state budget and state issues by New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC) legislative coordinator Kathryn Vescio.

“There’s been discussion that there is a way to opt out of the two-percent tax levy increase, but if anyone were to do that, they would be pinned as the bad guy,” George Canon, Newcomb town supervisor, said to the assembled town supervisors and county administrators.

“The state has made it so easy for them to come out looking like the hero,” Dan Stec, chairman of the Warren County Board of Supervisors and Queensbury supervisor, said. “A county needs only a twothirds vote to opt out of the cap in order to save an office of the aging or other vital, non-mandated program, which would be easy to get in order to save something like

“This is an opportunity that certainly will help mitigate that or offset it a little bit,” said Ettling.

Jablonski agreed, adding Schumer ’s message will most likely benefit parents and students who prepare their own tax returns versus those who have them filed by qualified professionals.

“Most families, I hope, that have their taxes professionally prepared probably are catching this ... It’s ones that prepare their own taxes that might have missed this,” said Jablonski, who applauded Schumer ’s announcement. “It’s a great opportunity and a great time of year to get this message out.”

Mayor Donald M. Kasprzak — whose oldest son is a recent SUNY Potsdam graduate and

youngest is a senior at SUNY Plattsburgh — said the announcement was of particular interest to him.

“Quite frankly, I just got educated on something that I did not know,” said Kasprzak, who added he’d be looking into the tax credit for his family as well. “This is good news for not only SUNY students but also for the North Country.”

Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, who supported and voted for the law to establish the credit, agreed, adding he felt the funding has the potential to help many students.

“This kind of information, this kind of legislation, is very important because, as we all know, the building blocks of a strong economy are very focused on education,” said Owens.

Gillibrand bill offers property tax relief

SUNY-ESF keeps Newcomb VIC open Name, mission changed at former APA center (Editor's note: This is Part Three of a five-part series on the current status of the Visitor Interpretive Centers, which were operated by the Adirondack Park Agency from 1989 to 2010.)

NEWCOMB — A couple dozen people crowded the R.W. Sage Jr. Memorial Trail sign on Sept. 24, 2006. Rays of sunshine penetrated the rustling fall foliage, and the wind howled through the forest while Adirondack Ecological Center (AEC) Director William Porter and Adirondack Park Agency (APA) Chairman Ross Whaley welcomed the public to the newest trail at the APA Visitor Interpretive Center (VIC).

This was a shining example of the close bond between the APA and the State University of New York (SUNY) College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF).

The VIC was built on 236 acres in the Huntington Wildlife Forest, managed by the college, which also owns and operates the AEC less than 2 miles away. Whaley is a past president of SUNY-ESF, based in Syracuse. And the man they were honoring on Sept. 24, 2006 — Richard “Dick” Sage — was the AEC’s associate director until his death in August 2002. He was the person who picked the location for the APA’s Newcomb VIC in 1985.

But has Dick Sage really left the building?

As Porter was finishing his comments at the 2006 ribbon-cutting ceremony, a small tree crashed to the ground in front of him. As they removed the tree, many nervously commented that Dick Sage was watching over them that day — the heart and soul of the Adirondack Ecological Center making his presence known at the interpretive center he helped build. The VIC opened in October 1990.

Vision for the AIC The APA transferred the building to SUNY-ESF on July 1, 2010 and handed over programming on Jan. 1, 2011. With the transition now complete, it’s the job of AEC Program Coordinator Paul Hai to lead the interpretive center through its new life as an ESF facility. That means a new mission and a new name.

What was once the APA Visitor Interpretive Center at Newcomb — with a focus on environmental education and visitorinformation services — is now the SUNY-ESF Adirondack Interpretive Center (AIC), featuring a 6,000-square-foot main building and a 2,500-square-foot classroom/garage.

“This center is not just for visitors, it’s for everybody, including residents of the Adirondack Park,” Hai said, defending the name change. Hai wanted the name communicate new ownership of the facility, and he wanted people to know that ESF is still at the interpretive center and committed to serving the public with educational programs.

Under the auspices of the Northern Forest Institute — managed by SUNY-ESF and based at the Huntington Wildlife Forest — the AIC will focus less on visitor-information services and more on interpretation. Moreover, Hai and his crew will expand the interpretive mission beyond the natural resources of the Adirondack Park to include programs that will explore science, recreation, natural history and culture.

“We are able to consider a new suite of programs that the APA couldn't do,” Hai said. “We have an opportunity to reach beyond nature … There are many complex issues in the Adirondack Park, and we want to offer programs to address that complexity.”

Through school field trips, workshops, conferences, programs and special events, the AIC will continue to offer public programming and serve upwards of 30,000 people a year. Yet the flavor of the programs will be more diversified. Regular programs such as bird walks, packbasket workshops and the summer Huntington Lecture Series will also be teamed with new programs such as a professional development series, gardening series, fly fishing workshops, a “Working Forests Working for You” series, a fall series on animal species that are harvested during hunting season, and a trapping program.

The Adirondack Park Institute — the friends group of the two VICs since 1989 — will continue to offer programs there as well.

In addition, the 3.6-mile trail system has remained open throughout the transition from the APA to SUNY-ESF. The hiking trails are open for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the winter. People can borrow the AIC’s snowshoes for free.

And there is a connector trail from the Sage Trail to the Great Camp Santanoni trail.

The ownership transition was fairly seamless. Unlike the transfer of the APA’s Paul Smiths VIC to Paul Smith’s College, a private not-for-profit institution, the Newcomb VIC was transferred from state agency to a state college. There was no need to de-accession state-owned property and move out like the APA was required to do in Paul Smiths. In Newcomb, it was literally a turn-key exchange of the building on July 1, 2010, with all its assets intact, including exhibits and educational tools.

“We were really fortunate with our partnership with the APA,” Hai said.

A welcome addition Hai is also the program coordinator for the Northern Forest Institute for Conservation Education and Leadership Training (NFI) and now splits his time between the Adirondack Interpretive Center and the Adirondack Ecological Center. The AEC is the college’s research component at the Huntington Wildlife Forest, and the NFI is the education and outreach component.

The NFI — formed in 2008 — uses several buildings to serve its constituents: the Masten House, the Carriage House, the Arbu-

tus Great Camp and the AIC. Having the AIC to serve as the Institute’s public venue is just what the NFI needed, according to Hai. “It is a great piece of the puzzle,” Hai said.

The NFI is a working partnership between SUNY-ESF, Open Space Institute, state Department of Environmental Conservation, Adirondack Park Agency, Northern Forest Center, Adirondack Wild, Purdue University’s Department of Organizational Leadership and others. The program has three main components: 1. professional development; 2. public outreach; and 3. academic outreach (primary, secondary and collegiate).

The AIC is also expected to help the college’s efforts to establish a work study program, which they plan to implement this year.

Challenges The biggest challenge for Hai during the ownership transition was the quick turnaround and the unfunded accession of new property.

“We were getting this jewel (in less than six months) but with no funding,” Hai said, adding that the college is looking for ways to pay staff and keep the doors open “to make sure we can keep the ball moving forward.”

Due to a “substantial grant” from a private foundation, SUNY-ESF will be able to hire a full-time position for two years to help Hai create and deliver programs at the AIC. In addition, Hai is trying to get funding for a one-year full-time naturalist at the AIC. He hopes to have both positions in place by summer.

The AIC is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and the trails are open from dawn to dusk daily. Admission is free. For more information, call (518) 582-2000 or visit online at www.esf.edu/aic.

Wilton couple claims $48.8 million lottery jackpot WILTON — The mystery of who won one of the largest lottery jackpots ever in the region has been dispelled.

Friday Feb. 11, New York Lottery officials introduced Jeff Pintuff and his wife Christine of Wilton as the winners of the Dec. 25 Powerball drawing for a jackpot of $48.8 million. The Powerball Lottery winners ChrisPintuffs, both 58, spent more tine and Jeff Pintuff of Wilton than a month interviewing pose with a mock $48.8 million financial planners before check in a presentation at Alstepping forward Feb. 1 to bany’s Empire State Plaza. claim their prize, according to a Lottery press release.

The Pintuffs, married 30 years, realized their good fortune after a hectic Christmas weekend. Jeff, now retired from his quality-control job at Atlas Copco in Voorheesville, said he bought the ticket a couple of days in advance of the drawing as the couple prepared to receive guests for the holiday weekend.

"I left work early Dec. 23 so I could help with the cooking and cleaning before our guests came," he said.

On the way home, Pintuff stopped at the Stewart's Shop on Route 50 in Wilton and purchased the winning $1 Quick Pick ticket that yielded $48.8 million.

Four days later, Jeff checked the ticket online and told his wife, "We won the Powerball!"

"How many numbers did we get?" she responded.

Pintuff said he repeated himself numerous times before either could believe their good fortune. The couple then signed the ticket and took it to their safe deposit box until they were ready to claim it.

The Pintuffs opted to receive their prize as a lump sum with each receiving a 50 percent share of the prize. Each will receive a onetime payment totaling more than $12.4 million or $8.2 million after taxes.

"I worry about what to do with 500 bucks," Jeff Pintuff said. "I'm so glad we had a plan for the money."

The Pintuffs said their plans are modest.

"My children keep telling me I need a new car," he said. "I only have 163,000 miles on the one I have now — I think I can get it to 200,000."

LAKE GEORGE — U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand introduced legislation this week intended to provide property tax relief for some 30 million taxpayers nationwide, including 1.1 million New York homeowners.

The Democrat from New York says her bill could Kirsten Gillibrand save middle-class New U.S. Senator Yorkers approximately $1 billion.

Gillibrand’s legislation – the first bill she’s proposed in this session of Congress – would allow homeowners federal taxpayers who own property to deduct the full amount of money they pay from their federal income taxes.

Federal tax laws now only allow homeowners who itemize their federal taxes to deduct the cost of property taxes — capped at a sum of $500— on federal returns. Her legislation would make property taxes fully deductable for those individuals who itemize and those who don’t.

Typically, taxpayers who earn less than $100,000 or more annually don’t itemize on federal taxes, unless they have unusual circumstances.

Gillibrand says her bill – the Homeowner Tax Fairness Act – would provide additional tax relief for some 30 million Americans and approximately 1.1 million New Yorkers who now don’t itemize their federal taxes.

She says families and senior citizens are struggling with the rising cost of property taxes.

“Property taxes in nearly every part of New York are putting a financial strain on many families,” Gillibrand said. “We need to provide these families with some relief.”

Gillibrand expects her proposal to receive broad bipartisan support, noting that tax relief isn’t about being Republican or Democrat.“It’s a good idea and we have to get it done this year,” she added.

In the North Country alone, more than 55,000 homeowners could save at least $25 million if Gillibrand’s proposal becomes law.

Several years ago, Congress temporarily allowed nonitemizing taxpayers to deduct their property taxes in an effort to alleviate the national housing crisis. This measure capped the deduction at just $500 and it expired in 2009. The legislation introduced this week would allow all filers the deduction and make the measure permanent.

Man chokes girlfriend, police say CHESTERTOWN — Brandon B. Johnson, 37 was jailed last week and charged with felony counts of second degree assault and second-degree strangulation after an investigation by State Police which revealed he allegedly choked his girlfriend to the point of unconsciousness.

The victim was hospitalized with injuries that were not lifethreatening, police said.

Johnsburg man arrested JOHNSBURG — Warren County Sheriffs reported to the scene of an alleged domestic dispute last Sunday at 2382 State Route 28. The suspect was intoxicated and trying to leave the scene, but was stuck in the snow as he tried to turn around in a private driveway, police said. Thomas G. Baker, age 28 was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated, criminal mischief, aggravated unlicensed operation and operating a vehicle while registration suspended. He is being held in the Warren County Correctional Facility pending arraignment.

Man enters ex-girlfriend’s home with bat GLENS FALLS — Jason M. Lapointe, 30 of Wilmot Street in Glens Falls allegedly entered the home of his ex-girlfriend to attack her boyfriend with a baseball bat.

He was charged with first-degree burglary and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, both felonies.

Funds restored for state boys basketball tourney

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — The State Boys Basketball Tournament received a substantial boost Feb. 18 when Warren County supervisors voted to restore most of the occupancy tax funding they had cut this year from the $50,000 sum they have traditionally pledged from occupancy tax receipts to promote the event.

The restoration of $12,000 or 24 percent of the tournament’s former promotional budget — just weeks before the state tournament — means television commercials, newspaper ads, Internet advertising and media releases that had been scuttled for this year will now be resumed.

Doug Kenyon, chairman of the event for 21 years, talked later Friday of how pleased he was over the decision.

“I am very, very happy,” he said. “It really increases the exposure we’ll get for the tournament — which we really need at this point,” he said.

The basketball tournament, for decades one of the region’s signature events, is credited with bringing thousands of visitors annually to Glens Falls and introducing the region to them in a favorable light.

Hours after the Friday meeting, Kenyon had already contacted marketing representatives and placed orders to boost

the tournament’s advertising dramatically, he said.

“I am very grateful for the restored funding,” Kenyon said with a broad smile on his face.

The action came days after the supervisors learned that more than $900,000 existed in occupancy tax reserves, most of which county officials weren’t aware of.

The supervisors were expecting other event promoters to show up at the meeting to make pleas for increased funding, as this year ’s occupancy tax awards reflected deep cuts — and many events that qualified for grants were not funded.

This year the county supervisors hosted requests for a total of $830,000 or so for 54 events, but doled out only $294,000 in their annual January distribution — a sum they thought at that time was their maximum available.

The Adirondack Balloon Festival, for instance, was cut from $50,000 in 2010 to $26,000 in 2011.

The supervisors decided to convene their Occupancy Tax Committee within a week to start deciding how to dole out $90,000 of that stash, the maximum they are allowed by local law to spend from the occupancy tax reserve funds Hours after the meeting, Balloon festival President Mark Donahue said he’d be seeking more money for the 2011 event, which was now facing crimped finances due to the county’s cut.

“We will most definitely be asking for restoration of tra-

Sharp-shooting Argyle upsets Lake George for league title

Argyle 48, Lake George 46 QUEENSBURY — In a thrilling, hard-fought game that was decided in the last few seconds of overtime, Argyle won the Adirondack League Girls Basketball Championship title.

The loss hands Argyle their first league championship in four years — the prior three years were won by Lake George.

Argyle’s Jacquelyn Miller finished with 21 points, five rebounds and five assists to lead Argyle to the title. The game was played in the SUNY Adirondack gymnasium.

Argyle fought off a furious come-from-behind effort by the Warriors — who were trailing by as many as 13 points — to clinch the 48-46 overtime victory.

Warrior Caroline Murphy made two baskets with less than two minutes remaining to push the game into overtime.

Murphy finished with 24 points and 13 rebounds.

Her teammate Brittany Baker finished with 13 points and 15 rebounds. Kelly Flaherty chipped in four, Amanda Chambers and Gretchen Bechard had two, while Hahnah Saroff finished with one point in the loss.

Argyle Central 69, Lake George 53 QUEENSBURY — Relentless defense and inspired, collaborative offense earned Argyle the Adirondack League Boys Basketball Championship in a game played Feb. 15 at SUNY Adirondack in front of a capacity crowd.

With the win, Argyle avenged an early-season defeat by Lake George — their squad’s only loss.

The defeat concludes the Warriors’ undefeated 2010-11 campaign and knocked them from a number-one ranking in the upcoming Section II tournament to No. 3, while elevating Argyle to the top spot. Coming into the game, Lake George and Argyle were ranked second and third, respectively, in the Class C state poll.

The loss was a disappointment for Warrior fans as well as the athletic, tall and talented Lake George team that had fought off formidable challenges all season long.

But the pumped-up Argyle squad combined their dead-on shooting — including a good number of shots from far outside — with savvy ball stealing, unceasing defensive pressure and orchestrated teamwork to win the game. It was the second consecutive league championship for Argyle.

Argyle’s Josh Horton led with 28 points, which included 10 for 10 from the foul line, and six assists.

Matt McGowan led the way for Lake George with 20 points. Alex Hladik contributed 13 points with one threepointer and nine rebounds in the loss.

Matt Stover contributed eight and both Jeff Maldonado and J.D. Jenkins had six points with one three-pointer for Maldonado.

Argyle held the Warriors to a 36-20 first half to secure the win.

With the loss, Lake George slipped to 16-1 and Argyle boosted their tally to 17-1.

Regardless of the stunning loss, the Lake George players immediately set their sights on the Section II tournament.

First up for the Warriors in the Sectionals was a matchup Wednesday Feb. 23 against No. 14-ranked Duanesburg in Lake George.

Lake George 72, Ticonderoga 37 LAKE GEORGE — Regrouping after the stunning loss to Argyle, Lake George soundly defeated Ticonderoga three days later.

Matt McGowan led the charge by the Warriors with 24 points, 19 rebounds and five assists to non-league victory Feb. 18 over Ticonderoga.

The Warriors started strong with a 40-16 first half.

Alex Hladik put up 19 points, Jeff Maldonado scored 10 with two three-pointers and Matt Stover ripped down 10 rebounds to go with his nine points in the win. Matt Stover chipped in nine, both Aaron Chambers and J.D. Jenkins put up a basket apiece and Erik Jones sunk one three-pointer.

Ticonderoga's Dan Morrison had 11 points in the loss.

Salem 55, North Warren 34 CHESTERTOWN — Dan Jameson hit four three-pointers and finished with 18 points to lead Salem to victory over North Warren Feb. 15.

ditional funding,” he said, adding that the money the county spends to promote the festival is an investment in boosted sales tax revenue. “In the long run, this funding helps the county as well.”

Several supervisors voted against the decision to restore $12,000 to the basketball tournament, saying it was not fair to the other entities seeking promotional grants, that it set a bad precedent for making special awards, and that it circumvented full review by the county Occupancy Tax panel which had spent many hours scrutinizing the grant applications.

Voting against the $12,000 special award and citing these reasons were: Occupancy Tax Committee Chairman Bill Kenny, Lake George Town Supervisor Frank McCoy, Lake Luzerne Supervisor Gene Merlino, Bolton Supervisor Ron Conover, and Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Wood. The rest of the 20 county supervisors voted in favor of the decision, including Johnsburg Supervisor Sterling Goodspeed and Glens Falls Ward 1 Supervisor Dan Girard, who both offered impassioned pleas for the vote Friday, citing that the event was fast approaching and needed the money to be successful.

County Administrator Paul Dusek said he recommended keeping $300,000 to $500,000 in the occupancy tax reserve account.

era lens, I captured several images with an inexpensive point and shoot camera.

Although he owned all sorts of telescopic lens, they were too powerful to capture a moose at a distance of less than 10 yards.

Sadly, he never got a shot.

When moose first began returning to New York in the early 1980s, they were considered an oddity. They typically remained rather elusive creatures until their breeding season rolled around in the fall. Back then, the wide-ranging creatures would usually be found in local farm pastures, chasing after cattle, with amorous intent.

At the time, moose were so unusual we gave them pet names, such as “Big Richard.” But, according to the state Department of Environmental Conservation, the New York State moose population is currently estimated at more than 500 animals and growing.

In towns such as Newcomb, Indian Lake, Speculator or Inlet, the sight of moose is no longer considered an unusual occurrence, especially during the early fall when bull moose will cover upwards of 75 miles of territory in the search for a mate.

In fact, moose have become so common in New York State the department no longer tracks moose with radio collars, and they don’t even bother to collect reports of moose

sightings. Since first reports began to trickle in back in 1980, the department has collected more than 3,000 sightings. However, the department does still conduct aerial surveys during the winter, when the budget allows.

Sadly, over the 30-plus years it has taken moose to reestablish a viable breeding population in the state, numerous animals have been involved in car accidents. Nearly 60 moose have died due to road kill, while more than 30 have been killed legally. The DEC estimates our moose population is increasing at about the same rate as Vermont’s, with an increase of about 10-15 percent per year.

Several advantageous factors can assist in the search for moose during the winter. The snow covering serves to reveal their tracks and to expose their trails. The white background also highlights their dark silhouette, which when combined with a more open forest, serves to expose the big animals more than any other time of the year.

Frozen marshes and bogs, and a suitable crust can also provide skiers or snowshoers will easy travel opportunities to cover such terrain during the winter season.

With adequate snow cover, a competent cross-country skier can cover many miles of terrain in a day’s travel, which makes it is entirely possible to cut a moose track or find the heavily trafficked trails near a ‘yard.’ If you discover moose tracks during the winter, it is very likely you can follow them back to their owner.

However, it is important to remember these big animals yard up for both safety and ease of travel. Do not approach close enough to present a threat or otherwise disturb them, for your sake and for theirs.

If you are fortunate enough to locate a moose, it is recommended you observe it from a safe distance and depart before causing any alarm.
