County to divvy up bed tax surplus

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — About half of Warren County’s surplus bed tax money of a little more than $1 million will be set aside as a reserve fund for unanticipated county tourism needs — and $43,000 of the excess will be spent to promote events planned this year, Warren County leaders decided Monday Feb. 28.

Supervisors on the county’s Occupancy Tax Coordination Committee will be reconvening in a special meeting March 10 to decide which events in the county will get more money, and how much.

Forty-two events planned for 2011 received a total of $306,500 in grants during an allocation process by the supervisors in January, and in most cases, the amounts granted were substantially less than requested, and a variety of events were not funded at all.

Supervisors decided Monday that they will be considering requests see BED TAX, page 8

Officials hail new commercial interest

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — With the recent flurry of developers planning shopping plazas in and near Warrensburg — and businesses taking steps to locate in town, area officials are now predicting a local economic resurgence here.

“I am very, very happy businesses are now seeking to locate in town,” Warrensburg Town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty said Monday. “We weathered the economic downturn fairly well, and now we’re seeing the beginning of a rebound.”

In January, news surfaced that two developers had bought options to buy large plots of land — one on North Main St. and the other, near

Convict crackdown Fear of ‘The Loaf’ prevails

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — Some former convicts and street people used to call the Warren County jail “Camp Cupcake” But no longer, since a convict crackdown has been in place.

Jail life is a lot bleaker now that about 70 channels of cable television have been blocked, coffee’s off the menu, and the inmates’ microwave ovens have been removed. And for those who break disciplinary rules, there’s a more threatening punishment — normal food privileges are taken away, and they get only “The Loaf” instead.

Technically known as Nutraloaf, it’s a mixture of whole wheat, cheese, carrots, spinach, raisins, tomato paste, powdered milk and beans, baked up in heavy brown loaf. One 1-pound loaf per meal is served.

In a gesture to raise awareness on breast cancer — while having a lot of fun — local Girl Scouts of Troop 3192 drove a pink toboggan titled ‘Fight Like a Girl” downhill at an impressive speed Feb. 26 at the Krazy Downhill Derby in Chestertown. See page 8 for the story.

Direct Deposit of Warrensburg, this month’s featured local business, not only offers a convenient place to drop off recyclable containers, but it assists community groups in their fundraising efforts.

Owned and operated by local residents Lou and Dean Ackley, Direct Deposit is located at 3918B Main St. in Warrensburg, directly behind Cooper-LeCount Real Estate office.

In been in business for six years, Direct Deposit accepts not just particular brands of containers like many stores, but they take any containers with a New York state deposit stamp on the can or bottle. This means that all brand of not only beer and soda containers are accepted, but even many water and juice containers are recycled now, according to amendments to state law.

Many area churches, charitable groups have accounts at Direct Deposit, so citizens can bring in their cans, and the deposit rebates are credited to their chosen organization. Direct Deposit has for years been assisting in various groups’ fundraisers in this manner. One container drive for a local group yielded 22,000 cans, Dean Ackley said this week.

Direct Deposit will also hold deposit receipts for individuals who seek to save up extra money. Some citizens bring in cans and build up a bankroll, paid out months later, for Christmas spending, vacations, or unanticipated expenses.

With the average household income in Warrensburg only $36,000, many people rely on such deposit money to pay for extras in their lives, Dean Ackley said.

Accepting containers isn’t Direct Deposit’s only helpful enterprise. They also offer a wide range of high quality dayold baked goods at vastly reduced prices, and their inventory is re-stocked twice a week.

Direct Deposit can be reached by phone at 623-9594. The business is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Students unleash creativity in drama club

NW Chamber sets open house CHESTERTOWN — The North Warren Chamber of Commerce will hold an open house from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, March 5 at their headquarters on state Rte. 8. Refreshments will be served.

The day includes a general meeting open to all members from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. The North Warren Chamber is also raffling an Apple iPad 2.0, 32 gigabyte capacity — the newest version with a built-in camera. Tickets are $2 each or 6 for $10. The drawing will be held Oct. 16 at the North Warren Pug Parade & Halloween Party. Call 494-2722 for details.

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — With wide eyes and excited voices, about 14 Warrensburg Elementary students gathered around desks in a classroom, and talked about possible themes, plots, props, and characters for short dramas they were planning to write.

The group has been meeting several times per week this winter for an elective afterschool drama program under the direction of Adirondack Theatre Festival teaching artist Lisa Janssen of Diamond Point.

Fifth graders Danielle Baker, Kelly Angell and Kathryn McEnaney talked about how their play would depict several young girls stranded alone together in a dark shopping mall hours after it closed down.

Stuck on writing dialogue for the drama, Janssen leaned over the group.

“Put yourself in the characters’ positions — what would you fear most, what would you be feeling if you were locked in a mall — what could be the worst thing to happen in every little detail?” Janssen asked, challenging the girls to draft the specifics of their proposed play.

“I think I’d be too freaked out to call my parents,” one of the girls answered.

“Remember, your cell phone is dead,” Kelly chimed in.

“My character thinks she’s gonna die,” Danielle added.

Since January, the students met twice a week with Janssen, developing their plays, and bringing them to life, step by step, in working groups of two or three.

Anna Sorensen, Hannah West and Mariana Callahan, all nine years old, concocted a drama about three girls hiking into a campsite beside a remote lake, then dealing with their fears of ghosts and being isolated in the dark.

Alyssa Birkholz and Jennie Zwart dreamed up a character Issabelle who suddenly adopted a totally new appearance and

personality, which caused rifts with her friends. That story morphed into a story of a sleepover.

Another group, including Addison Smith, 10, and Mattie Castro, 9, crafted a story about a girl who worked as a cashier at Aeropostale, and was dealing with an ethical crisis after her friend stole money from their employer.

Alex Werner, Aiden Moulton, and Tommy Birkholz brewed up a story about a scientist and a journalist traveling to an island to uncover treasure before a pirate finds it. The journalist seeking to be first in reporting the discovery.

“We’ve got a few words down now past ‘Once Upon a Time,” explained Alex with a smirk. A returning member of the drama club, she was trying to pare down the plot, when the two boys in the group wanted to add a time machine and several scorpions.

their mini-productions to their parents, acting out the parts they wrote In this drama program, Janssen coached them to free-associate plus rely on their own personal experience to develop the stories, characters and dialogue. Janssen and other ATF actors and instructors have also been working with students at Glens Falls Middle School, a program in which professional actors bring the students’ scripts to life.

The various exercises Janssen used in the Warrensburg program, including pantomime, collaborative talk and movement, were utilized to boost the students’ expressive tendencies while giving them confidence and ability to work as a team, Janssen said.

After the recent performances, Kelly Angell said she enjoyed the experience as she learned play-writing and acting techniques.

“It was cool,” she said. “We really had fun.”

Thurman gears up for Maple Weekends Maple Days venues

Maple Days boost economy

By Andy Flynn andy@denpubs.com ATHOL — It’s time to fire up the evaporator and break out the jack wax recipe. Town of Thurman residents are ready for a monthlong celebration of maple syrup: making it, eating it and sharing it with visitors.

The town of Thurman kicks off the maple sugaring season with Thurman Maple Days — March 12-13 — and will host public tours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at three of the town’s commercial sugaring operations during the statewide Maple Weekend events — March 19-20 and March 26-27 — sponsored by the New York State Maple Producers Association.

It is rare to find such a high concentration of maple producers in one town in the Adirondack Park. All three commercial operations in Warren County are located in the town of Thurman: Valley Road Maple, Adirondack Gold Maple Farm and the Toad Hill Maple Farm. They rely heavily on Maple Weekends each year to draw attention to their products and stay in business. And for the past several years, they’ve banded together to offer a one-of-a-kind, month-long maple festival.

“It’s really helped us a lot,” said Randy Galusha, of Toad Hill Maple Farm, the largest maple producer in Warren County.

“It’s what’s allowed us to expand our business. It has created quite a lot of demand.”

Thanks to the increase in business generated by the Maple Weekends, the Galusha family was able to invest in their operations and build a new state-of-the-art sugarhouse in time for this season. At four times the size of their old sugarhouse, the 4,000-squarefoot facility was made of timber harvested on their land. Inside, a reverse-osmosis system takes 75 percent of the water out of the maple sap before it is boiled in the new

New sugarhouse at the Toad Hill Maple Farm Photo provided

wood-fired Vortex evaporator, which re-uses the steam to help boil more sap. The Galushas were able to invest in this energyefficient equipment with the help of a U.S. Department of Agriculture loan from the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP).

For now, Randy Galusha is making final preparations to his equipment before the spring weather arrives.

“Then it’s time to wait for Mother Nature to cooperate,” he said.

The highlight of the season is the Annual Maple Sugar Party — better known as the Jack Wax Party — which starts at 4 p.m. Saturday, March 12 at the Thurman Town Hall, 311 Athol Road in Athol. For more than 50 years, this event has helped raise money for the American Cancer Society, and this is the social event of the season for the town of Thurman, with an all-you-can eat buffet and entertainment by local musicians. And don’t forget the jack wax.

“Jack wax is maple syrup boiled to a certain temperature, and it is poured on snow,”

said Rebecca Hitchcock, a town of Thurman councilwoman who has been helping organize the Annual Maple Sugar Party.

Jack wax is also known as sugar on snow or maple on snow.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for kids 6-11 and free for kids 5 and under.

Four venues offer plenty of activities during Thurman Maple Days on March 12 and 13. People can see high-tech and traditional wood-fired evaporators in action, plus tapping and boiling demonstrations, at three sugarhouses, which will open their doors to the public with free tours and maple tasting.

Plus, Martin’s Lumber (280 Valley Road) will give demonstrations of its sawmill operations from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.

But the proof is in the eating. Visitors can partake in a traditional pancake breakfast at 9 a.m. March 12 at Valley Road Maple.

Learn more about the Thurman Maple Days online at www.thurman-ny.com and the New York Maple Weekends at www.mapleweekend.com.

Maple Days next weekend!

The Town of Thurman will be celebrating its annual Maple Weekend Saturday and Sunday, March 12 and 13. Many who have operating sugar houses that make their own maple syrup will have open houses and will show visitors all the steps in making tasty, pure maple syrup (see story above).

Maps are available to guide folks through Thurman to these destinations that evoke life from years past. For more information, call 623-9718.

Old fashioned ‘sugar party’ Hosting the Jack Wax party for decades has been a natural for the townfolk of Thurman, as they enjoy the socializing and good food consisting of many covered dishes donated by local residents, topped off with this delicious dessert.

Stop by this event Saturday, March 12, at the town hall. The dinner is available from 4 p.m. until all are served. This is an all-you-can-eat buffet and those attending will have con tinuous mountain-style music to listen while they eat.

Tickets at the door are $10 for adults, $5 for ages 5 to 11, and under 5 are free. All proceeds go to the American Cancer Society, which pledges to spend it locally. For details or to volunteer, call 623-4024.

Crackdown from page 1 Warren County Sheriff Bud York said this week that after taking away the traditional privileges in November — and the threat of a Nutraloaf diet — conditions in the jail are more orderly.

“The guys are in jail because they can’t follow rules,” he said. “They are always looking to break rules, and they have to pay for breaking the rules.”

In the crackdown, York promoted jail guard Marlo Barboza to a “Corrections Inspector,” who is in charge of seeing discipline measures are followed. He called her “street smart,” far more so than the inmates.

Barboza said the Nutraloaf diet is imposed on inmates after they throw feces or urine at guards, spit on them, assault them, expose them to blood, or flood their cells by blocking up their toilets, or pick fights.

“They don’t like ‘The Loaf,’” she said, noting it was concocted in the jail kitchen. “Some eat it, some pick at it, some have said ‘I surrender, I give up, you got me’ after a few days.”

Serving Nutraloaf has been challenged in lawsuits across the nation, but the practice was upheld in court decisions in New York, Virginia and Arizona, Barboza said.

State law cites that meals must be nutritional, but not appetizing, she said.

“Once you taste it, you won’t forget it,” she said. “Some used to call our jail Camp Cupcake, but now, inmates are requesting prison time instead of coming to our jail.”

Several inmates have been subjected to The Loaf, which is only administered for a week. York said the news has been spread around the state among jail populations, and

Over the fence Sgt. Luke Duell has left for his third tour in Iraq. He left Feb. 14 for Camp Victory and expects to be there for 12 months. He is the son of Kent and Glenda Duell of Thurman. Anyone wishing to speak to him in a video chat on computer can call 623-2796 for details on how to do it.

It’s my fault! In the Feb. 19 Adirondack Journal I said how lucky we had been recently with no power outages — then the morning after the newspaper was delivered at about 5:20 a.m., power was out for about eight hours and even all phone service was out for two and a half hours at the north end of town. It was probably due to tree limbs loaded with snow breaking and falling on utility lines. he confirmed that now convicts are trying to avoid being sent to Warren County.

The county jail, which accommodates 188 inmates, now is hosting several dozen from Dutchess County.

The lack of television channels — earning the nickname of “Bud’s Basic Cable,” also has irked Warren County inmates.

Now, they’ve only got a choice between the Religion Channel, the Food Network, the Weather Channel, or three 24-hour news channels.

Barboza said the reduction in channels has also been positive for discipline.

“The inmates used to trade gang signs, and now they trade recipes like trading cards,” she said.

Not everyone is happy about the changes.

The 25 or so female inmates each recently sent a letter to corrections administrators asking for the Lifetime Channel or another women’s network to be turned back on.

The microwave ovens were removed from all the jail day rooms, because inmates were placing metal utensils inside to cause sparks that would light up cigarettes, Barboza said.

Since the microwaves have removed, there’s been no evidence of contraband, she said.

Barboza added that all the disciplinary measures were to assure safety and order.

She added that learning how to cook food with tips from the Food Channel, also might come in handy.

“When the inmates get out of here, maybe they’ll start whipping up meals for their families,” she said. “We want them to appreciate good wholesome family life on the outside and not come back here.”

Summer Fun in Our Backyard Discover the Corridor Communities of the Upper Hudson River & Explore our Town Websites for your 2011 Adventure Activities and Events

– The Adirondacks were the first place where Americans realized that wilderness was going to be a distinguishing and permanent feature of their civilization. The Corridor first served as a hunting ground for Native Americans, who established trails connecting the Champlain and Mohawk Valleys. From the early 1600’s through the 1800’ s, Jesuit missionaries, American and European soldiers, explorers, photographers and surveyors followed these trails. The vast tracts of timber spurred the logging and tanning industries and construction of a railroad just after the Civil War gave new vacationers easy access to hotels and resorts as Americans travelers discovered the lure of wilderness.

Communities bordering the Upper Hudson River have joined together to celebrate their shared history of the earliest route into the Adirondack wilds. The rivers diversity includes fast rapids, numerous falls, dramatic palisade cliffs and the environmentally sensitive ice meadows. Community citizens came together to create the in an effort to preserve and pass along traditional skills and trades that defined the Adirondack way of life. Many early settlements were formed as the mighty Hudson tumbled down the mountains creating falls that were harnessed for waterpower. Mineral sources were bountiful and the logging industry flourished. Tahawus mined titanium as did Johnsburg for Garnet. The Towns of Chester, Warrensburg, Thurman, Stony Creek, Hadley, Lake Luzerne and Corinth began as thriving communities for logging and tanning. Communities grew strong and adapted to the call of year round wilderness recreation and adventure sports as we know it. Today, the Corridor in Warren and Saratoga Counties offers 47 miles of skiing, hiking, biking, fishing, hunting, rafting, horseback riding, snowmobiling and maple sugaring that can add to your stay and play vacation time along the Hudson.

Pottersville’s newest miniature railroad museum will tell the story of the past as we plan for our future including the Bicentennial of Warren County in 2013.

Opinion Adirondack Journal Editorial

Where have all the selfless servants gone?

I

t seems few people remember President John F. Kennedy’s call to “ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” To prove his commitment, Kennedy declined his presidential salary. He worked for free.

For more than two centuries, America has been blessed with public servants who strive to make communities better places.

From presidents to local assessors, men and women have dedicated hours — sometimes their lives — to improving our nation. They deserve our thanks and respect.

During the past decade or so, a malaise has fallen upon our country, even our hometowns. Americans have diminishing confidence in politicians, a problem that often boils down to one key factor — lack of leadership.

All too often it seems our elected officials are no longer public servants.

They’ve become self servants, getting fat on the public dime while taxpayers struggle to make ends meet.

Things need to change, beginning at home. That’s why local town boards should forgo their pay and benefits and serve as volunteers. Such action would send a clear message to residents facing cuts in services and rising taxes — sacrifice, a key to America’s past greatness, is a key to our future.

Naysayers will claim town board compensation is modest and is necessary to attract candidates for office.

Neither is true.

Let’s look at the town of Ticonderoga, a typical North Country community of about 5,000 residents.

This year, its town board will receive $87,434 in salaries and benefits.

That includes $6,556 pay for each of four trustees and $27,319 pay for the supervisor (not including a separate Essex County salary).

Is that money needed to attract candidates for office? A look at another Ticonderoga board suggests not.

Ticonderoga Central School, which has been ranked among the top 2 percent of all schools in the nation, is run by a volunteer board. Its nine members receive no pay, no benefits.

Ticonderoga school board elections attract quality candidates with the promise of nothing more than public service. Once elected, they oversee a budget and staff more than twice as large as the town.

To be fair, the school district has a

full-time professional manager — a superintendent. He oversees the dayto-day operation of the district and carries out the policies of the board.

The same could be true for the town. It could hire a town manager to run day-to-day operations and carry out board policy.

The idea of a professional manager is not new to Ticonderoga. Last fall, the Ticonderoga town board asked voters to eliminate the elected highway superintendent’s position in favor of an appointed, professional manager.

What does a town manager cost?

There are presently no town managers in the North Country, although the village of Saranac Lake employs a village manager. He is paid $27,997.

With travel, training, supplies, contractual obligations, telephone and car maintenance, the village manager ’s office spent about $39,000 in 2010.

In Vermont, towns routinely employ town managers. The average Vermont town manager is paid $47,000, which is 4 percent higher than the average nationwide.

In the case of Ticonderoga and most North Country towns, hiring a professional town manager would be less expensive than paying an entire town board.

It’s important to point out Ticonderoga is being used as an example because of its forward-thinking town board and highly successful school board. It’s an example of a North Country town that works — but, like all others, could work better.

It’s time for North Country officials to think long and hard about their motivation to hold office and act accordingly.

Thomas Jefferson warned against professional politicians. Leaving the presidency in 1809 he wrote: “I have the consolation of having added nothing to my private fortune during my public service, and of retiring with hands clean as they are empty.”

Can today’s leaders say the same?

I have long since given up reading newspapers and magazines and any other printed material that is owned by mega-corporations. The reason for this is they don’t present the truth.

Corporations’ printed products consist of omissions, inclusions and untruths to, in the long run, promote their holdings. I have also given up watching any news (except local) on television as it, too, is propaganda. You only see what they want you to see, and it’s never the whole story.

Long gone from current media are true journalists. Apparently, there are only a few corporations or individuals that own all the media in this country.

I was very disappointed when the Weather Channel was taken over by NBC — just more propaganda.

I do, on the other hand, look forward to reading the Adirondack Journal.

It comes just in time for the weekend and is very refreshing. One of my favorites is the Adirondack Outdoors page. But the most refreshing I read recently was the last opinion article written by the owner of Denton Publications, Dan Alexander — his editorial on not selling out to overseas pressure. If

you haven’t read it, it was about sending jobs currently performed at the paper over to India, a cost-saving measure which he is trying to avoid.

Here, here, Mr. Alexander, now that’s true patriotism!

Donna Flanagan Warrensburg

Keep it local To the Adirondack Journal: Thank you for the beautifully written and informative article, “E-town to India ...” You expressed my thoughts and beliefs about outsourcing. I’m afraid that the problem created by the greed of business and the obsession of buyers to have “Walmart” prices for the goods purchased may, indeed, create a society that has few well-paid workers. I am so pleased that you realize profit isn’t always made on the backs of desperate workers in third-world countries and laid-off workers in the Unites States.

I hope that what you have written will reach many more readers than those who receive the Times of Ti. We may not be able to buy goods made in our own country or talk to support tech workers within our own borders, but there are still people like you who realize that outsourcing is not always the answer. I do hope that you never have to change your mind.

Linda Blair Lake Placid

Congrats Schroon Lake!

To the Adirondack Journal: I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Ticonderoga Middle School music students for all their hard work presenting their musical “Aladdin.”

The students were so wonderful! Each and every one of them played their parts to the fullest! The singing and dancing were the best! The scenery was amazing, to say the least. I understand many of the parents were involved in the scenery and costuming. It was uplifting to hear so many took part in making this a successful venture for their children.

To the teachers, students, parents and all behind the scenes, a hearty thank you for a wonderful evening’s entertainment.

Keep up the great work.

In closing, I hope more people take the opportunity to see these performances even if you don’t have a child taking part.

We have so many musically talented children in our community. They deserve much more credit for their achievements.

Warrensburg Town Court Report

Feb. 16: Judge Richard Nissen presiding • The case of Lynn M. Bennett, 51, of Knapp Hill Rd. in Chestertown of was adjourned to March 2. She is charged with the Misdemeanor of fifth-degree Insurance Fraud. Police said that in making a claim to New York Central Mutual insurance company, reporting storm damage to a roof at 18 Library Ave. in Warrensburg, she impersonated a member of the homeowner ’s family.

Bennett was a representative for Ken Wilkins and his partner Cheri Kenny of Assurance Building & Contracting of Chestertown. In this case, which authorities have described as a wide-ranging insurance scam, Wilkins is charged with felony Insurance Fraud.

In another unrelated case, Bennett has recently been indicted on 23 felonies by a Warren County Grand Jury — police say she stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from a homeowners association at the Green Mansions resort in Chester and Warrensburg.

In this roofing case, a resident at a house at 18 Library Ave. said in a statement to police that Lynn Bennett and Ken Wilkins of Assurance Building & Contracting had offered to restore their roof, claiming roof damage. Wilkins had been up on the roof Nov. 10 to inspect the roof, and a resident of the home told police that shingles were torn off the roof that day, and there had been virtually no prior storm damage to the roof.

The resident also said Wilkins admitted, then later retracted the statement, that he tore shingles off the roof. Another witness said Lynn Bennett put a bag with unidentified contents into her car. That day, a resident of the home responsible for the claim called the insurance agency and found out that someone believed to be Lynn Bennett had called in the claim acting as the resident, and gave her own cell phone number as the homeowner ’s.

The claim, first instituted as wind damage, was closed by New York Central Mutual, and the firm pledged to pay $12,381 to the homeowner due to what they determined to be “vandalism.” The insurance adjuster found that the alleged removal of shingles — which a witness said was due to Wilkins — to be $17,100 worth of damage.

In a confession, Bennett said she worked for Wilkins and Kenney in Assurance Building on roofing and siding jobs throughout the region based on claims of storm damage.

In her statement, Bennett said she and others would prompt homeowners to sign agreements that all proceeds from insurance settlements would be paid to Assurance, and that she, Wilkins or Kenney would pick up the money. In the statement, Bennett said they had done 75 roofing and siding jobs in towns including Warrensburg, Ticonderoga, and Queensbury, most of them based on hail damage. She claimed she was paid $20 per hour plus 40 percent of the difference between the insurance payment and the cost of the job. She added that she regularly received $300 to $500 for each job.

The investigation into the alleged roofing scam were conducted by both the state Police and the state Insurance Department investigators.

• The cases of Lynn T. Bonilla, 44, and Brian L. Cole, 48, of King St. Warrensburg, were adjourned to March 2. They are both facing a charge of first-degree Unlawfully Dealing with a Child.

• In a plea bargain, Kristina A. Rafferty, 28, of Cloverleaf Drive, Warrensburg pled Guilty to second-degree Harassment, and she was sentenced to a conditional dis-

The incident occurred Jan. 12 at about noon, and was investigated by the county Child Protective Services as well as the county Sheriff ’s office.

• Richard G. Gasparro, 20, of Highland New York pled Guilty to Facilitating Aggravated Unlicensed Operation and Unregistered Operation. He had faced a Misdemeanor charge of third-degree Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a motor vehicle based on an incident 7:46 a.m. Jan. 1. He was sentenced to fines and surcharges totaling $420.

• Michael Santisteban, 36, of River St. in Warrensburg pled Guilty to parking on the pavement in a plea bargain, and he was sentenced to a fine of $125. He was originally charged with Texting While Driving while operating a vehicle on Main St. in Warrensburg.

• Brian C. Gebo of Ft. Edward and Michael Masonius of Main St. in Warrensburg squared off Feb. 16 in a small claims case and a counterclaim. Gebo sought $3,000 for a paycheck for work he said he’d performed, claiming that on payday, Masonius said he didn’t have money to pay him. In an opposing claim, Masonius sought $980 in costs to re-do alleged poor workmanship by Gebo.

He claimed he had to hire two workmen over two days to repair Gebo’s defective work.

Warrensburg Town Justice Richard Nissen reserved judgment on the cases, which were adjourned awaiting a decision from Nissen in writing.

• The case of Jessica K. Hayle, 29, of Burdick Avenue, Warrensburg, was adjourned to March 2. She is charged with Driving While Intoxicated, a Misdemeanor, based on a breath test after a state Trooper found her stopped on the Northway at 4:22 a.m. Feb. 10 after she ran out of gas. She is also charged with Driving with a blood alcohol level exceeding 0.08 percent. Police said Hayle’s blood-alcohol level measured 0.11 percent in a breath test.

• Judge Nissen issued a warrant for the arrest of Jacob L. Steves of Alpine Ave., Queensbury, based on a ticket issued July 19 in a traffic stop on State Rte. 9 at the north end of the Warrensburg hamlet, after he swerved into an oncoming lane and struck another vehicle, police said.

‘Krazy Derby’ was wacky as ever

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — A large crowd gathered Saturday, Feb. 26 for that premier annual winter contest and social event in northern Warren County, an event that draws on the varied, profound talents and hearty stamina of local residents.

Yes, it’s the Krazy Downhill Derby, and it offers a test of one’s ingenuity and creativity in creating bizarre, fanciful quasi-vehicles that can pass as a sled and glide downhill on the snow.

Saturday’s slew of sleds lived up to the local tradition, held at the town’s Dynamite Ski Hill.

Topping the list of about a dozen creative vehicles was Paul Matson’s locomotive, the engine for the imaginary Horicon & Chester Railroad.

As the rig’s engineer, Matson piloted his train downhill, while Ed Orr, who works with Matson at Garnet Signs, followed in the attached caboose, operating the brake: a couple of two-by-fours. Both were credible at their tasks, as the locomotive made it down the slope.

After it’s formal run, Matson allowed fascinated spectators, both children and adults, get into the locomotive’s cab and steer it downhill for about 10 additional trips.

Tuesday, Matson refused to reveal the engineering of its steering system.

“It’s proprietary top-secret information, like an East German bobsled,” he said with a grin.

Last year, she fashioned a penguin which flew downhill and wowed spectators.

Also impressing the audience was a toboggan festooned with pink balloons and signboards bearing the slogan “Fight Like a Girl” designed to raise awareness about breast cancer. The craft, driven downhill be three Girl Scouts, was made by North Warren Troop Troop 3192.

Also competing were four race cars built by students under the guidance of local shop teacher Christopher Stiles. Their snazzy vehicles were also spectator favorites. The were joined in the competition by a skiff on skis titled “Gone Fishing,” in which young members of the Baker family fished as they rode their way downhill.

Last but not least was a creation by the Isachsen family, who have demonstrated their creativity for years. This years sled was a looming Lego block. In prior years, Eric, Kit and Sten Isachsen have entered an ornate Viking ship, a Star Wars fighter rocketship, a Beverly Hillbillies car, and a giant duck.

Saturday, three teams competed in that low-budget North Country sport that can be quite competitive — broomball.

Twenty spectators entered the new hockey shoot-out event, and prizes were awarded in four categories: Pee Wees, Youth, Teens and Adults.

While many patrons enjoyed the homebaked snacks like brownies, others enjoyed meeting up with the big furry Adirondack Phantoms mascot “Dax.” Whether a spectator or a downhill competitor vying for bragging rights or local fame, the participants at this year ’s Krazy Derby enjoyed themselves, said Lynn Engelmann of the North Warren Chamber of Commerce.

“I was impressed there was a lot of creativity, she said. “I must say, a good time was had by all.

Local church offering outreach WARRENSBURG — St. Cecilia's Catholic Church has launched a new program to welcome back parishioners who have dropped out of active membership. Called "Landings," the program begins Wednesday, March 9 and continues for eight weeks.

Landings is a Paulist Ministry program that has been offered in parishes throughout central New York and elsewhere.

The program’s two-hour weekly meetings are held in private homes from 7 to 9 p.m. A small group of active Catholics, some who were themselves returnees, join with returning Catholics to share and explore faith to-

gether. The meetings offer a supportive community where questions can be asked and issues discussed giving a chance to grow and learn from the spiritual journeys of one another, a program sponsor said.

“We offer a safe place, a "Landings" place to be listened to, a place for understanding and healing,” the sponsor said.

Those interested or know of someone in the neighborhood or in one’s own family who would be interested in participating, call 623-9313, or send an email to: landings_st.cecilia@yahoo.com and details will be provided. Pre-registration is required prior to the start of the program.

Bed tax from page 1 only in advance of the March 10 meeting for new allocations.

Promoters of such events as Americade, the Adirondack Nationals Car Show, the Lake George Triathlon, the Adirondack Balloon Festival and the Lake George Community Band Festival have already submitted initial requests for increased funding.

Adirondack Balloon Festival officials have previously aired their dismay that their net funding has been decreased by nearly half, as they were asked this year to shoulder about $10,500 in expenses for county employees’ overtime pay.

This is a small sum, they they said, in comparison to the county’s two other large events — Americade, which received $48,000 from the county for 2011, and the state high school basketball championship tournaments, which received $28,000 this year.

Area tourism experts have also questioned why the county declined for 2011 to allocate money to the Lake George Community Band Festival, which has annually showcased dozens of bands with as many as 500 musicians from all over the continent and attracted thousands to Lake George.

Several county officials said funding for these two events would likely be up for reconsideration March 10.

Monday, supervisors decided to move up the deadline for event promoters to annually submit their applications — from Dec. 1 to Nov. 1 for events to be held the following year. They decided on to give more leeway in their evaluation process, to shift more weight to applications for events that have the most potential for growth and prompt the greatest number of overnight stays.

Supervisors expressed dismay that some promoters predict an unrealistically high potential bed-night totals, and they said some follow-up verification needs to be conducted of their predictions.

“We’re putting a lot of emphasis on some-

March 5, 2011 thing so subjective, and we really can’t verify it,” said Warrensburg Supervisor Kevin Geraghty, who is the county Budget Officer.

Lake George Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Luisa Craige-Sherman said the Smith Travel Report, which is a national resource for such bed-night figures, only surveys a small fraction of the 9,000 available rooms in the Lake George area.

She said her organization for years has been urging accommodations to voluntarily submit bed-night statistics for tourism planning purposes, and that she’d continue to seek their cooperation.

Monday, county supervisors also talked about setting aside excess Occupancy Tax money into a capital reserve fund to bankroll a tourism-related construction project such as a visitors center. Several years ago, county leaders considered buying the former Basketville store on state Rte. 9 just north of Northway Exit 20 as a visitors center and headquarters for the county tourism operations. The supervisors also mentioned setting aside money for constructing an events venue at the former Gaslight Village.

Talk also surfaced Monday of using some of the excess Occupancy Tax money to pay off the county’s outstanding balance of $268,000 of a loan taken out years ago to purchase Gaslight Village. The county’s share of the purchase price was $1.2 million. County officials said a payment of $133,000 toward the outstanding balance was due to be paid Monday. Geraghty said that whether Occupancy Tax receipts could legally be used to pay off such a loan would have to be researched by county Attorney Paul Dusek.

Decisions on earmarking money for a capital reserve fund will be undertaken in months to come, the supervisors agreed.

The Occupancy Tax is a 4 percent surcharge on rooms rented short-term. The surplus of $1 million, overlooked by county leaders until a few weeks ago, accrued during the past four years due to the county tourism department spending less than allocated and tax receipts exceeding amounts previously allocated for events.

Rugge mourns loss of Dr. Daines

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — In the wake of the death of former state Health Commissioner Dr. Richard Daines, Dr. John Rugge — founder of the region’s leading health chain — recalled Daines’ vital impact on rural health care.

Daines made more than a half-dozen visits to Warren County during his four-year tenure which ended Dec. 31.

Rugge, CEO of Hudson Headwaters Health Network (HHHN), said Daines was a champion of the Adirondack Medical Home Pilot program, designed to enhance rural health care — initiatives which Rugge and other upstate New York physicians and health administrators engineered.

“This is really so sad — it’s a great loss to all of us,” Rugge said, recalling how Daines had brought Gov. David Paterson to Hudson Headwaters’ clinic in Glens Falls several years ago to make major announcements on health care reform. “He was very much a leader and thinker about what needed to be done to protect and improve rural health care.”

Rugge added that Daines understood HHHN’s mission and the problems it faced, like recruiting and retaining doctors, centralizing patient information, and dealing with slashed reimbursements from both governments and health insurers.

“Dr. Daines was so determined to do his best to serve everyone well,” Rugge continued, recalling how Daines had driven his pickup truck in January 2009 through a blizzard to Chestertown to visit the HHHN health center.

“He came to realize the nature and complexity of problems we face to bring health care to the mountains,” Rugge said. “And he was supportive every step of the way, making our operations the model for rural health care nationally.”

Daines, 60, died Feb. 26 at a barn on his Dutchess County property, where he had been taking down Christmas decorations, according to a report in the New York Times.

His former press secretary, Claudia Hutton, reported to the Times that Daines had been in good health, but was apparently stricken by a heart attack.

Former state health Commissioner Dr. Richard Daines talks to Hudson Headwaters Health Network founder Dr. John Rugge at the Chestertown-Horicon Health Center in 2009 after driving through a blizzard.

Daines, who died Feb. 26 at the age of 60, was recalled by Rugge this week as a champion of rural health care initiatives.

Daines was instrumental in engineering public health policy to deal with the swine flu outbreak in 2009, when it was considered a major threat.

But he probably achieved more notoriety for his aggressive lobbying for a state tax on sugared sodas in an effort to boost public health. A video he made on YouTube a few years ago on how drinking soda can cause obesity became a national phenomenon.

Rugge said Daines’ lobbying effort on behalf of healthy lifestyles would not be futile.

“Ten years from now, Dr. Daines will be seen as a pioneer,” Rugge said, adding that he and Daines shared plans this summer to traverse the Hudson River Gorge together — plans that will now never be realized.

Lake George to host Bands ‘N Beans this weekend

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — The mother of all parties in the North Country — now passing a landmark in its history — may be more of a blockbuster than ever, its organizers said this week.

The Lake George Arts Project’s 20th annual Bands ‘N Beans party is set for 2 to 7 p.m. Sunday March 6 at Roaring Brook Ranch.

With area folks buried in snow all winter, people are eagerly awaiting the renewal of spirit that the Bands-NBeans event traditionally provides, Arts Project chief John Strong said.

“Everybody’s anticipating Spring, and they’re really ready to get their ‘yaya’s’ out this year,” he said.

This year, the music is diverse as ever, with country-rock, rhythm and blues, folk-rock and bluegrass adding variety to the signature party-rock music offered.

Bands will be playing in two separate venues in Roaring Brook simultaneously. Annually the party features wall-towall people at the expansive facilities, most of them downing chili, voting for

Tim Wechgelaer their favorite dish moving to the music, and greeting each other after a winter that always seems to have been far too long.

Amateur and professional cooks annually dream up creative chili recipes to tantalize the partygoers — and unusual ingredients often take the spotlight, whether its elk, venison, partridge or ostrich meat — or merely gourmet rare imported chilies.

Restaurants take the chili competition seriously, vying for bragging

Revival from page 1 Northway Exit 23 — to develop shopping plazas. The latter, just south of town, was to accommodate a large Price Chopper supermarket, a bank branch and several other retail stores, area government officials said.

The former plot of land, just behind the Warrensburg post office, was also to be developed for a supermarket or another chain enterprise as well several retail stores.

Meanwhile, town planners have been busy reviewing plans for businesses to move into several vacant Main Street stores — including a bicycle retail and repair outlet combined with a coffee shop at the former Brown Shoes/Tamarack Shop location near the memorial bandstand downtown.

The other is a physical therapy enterprise to move into the former QVN Motors building on Upper Main St. There’s more.

New Way Lunch of Glens Falls is opening up a satellite branch as soon as mid-May in the former Potters’ Diner, a Warrensburg landmark for 86 years.

Next door, the now-vacant former Stewart’s Shop has been prompting inquiries from several businesses that seek to move into its prime location on lower Main St. Town officials said one is a computer store,

rights that will gain them renown.

More than 40 restaurants and eateries have signed up for the event.

Bentley’s Restaurant of Malta will be defending its 2010 title of Best Chili against some formidable new entries, including the Black Watch Steakhouse, Wholy Crepe, Bar Vino, West Side Grill, and more.

Musicians this year include Chris Ballini, Rich Ortiz, Tequila Mockingbirds, Folding Sky, Jim Gaudet & the Railroad Boys, the Stony Creek Band, Rat Tail Jimmy, Electric City Horns, and probably more.

The event includes a raffle and a silent auction featuring a variety of items from local businesses, including dinners, clothes and accommodations.

Annually raising almost $18,000 for the Arts Project, the event is the non-profit group’s largest fundraiser, Strong said.

“People just love getting out and seeing each other again after a long winter.”

Admission is $20, and tickets are available at the door. For details, call 668-2616 or visit: www.lakegeorgearts.org

the other is Direct Deposit container recycling center, now operated in an outbuilding behind LeCount-Cooper Real Estate. Direct Deposit is an enterprise owned by Town Board member Dean Ackley and his brother Lou Ackley.

Monday, the Ackleys confirmed they were seeking to relocate to a high-profile Main St. location, either in the vacant former Maltbie Chrysler-Dodge building or the former Stewart’s Shop convenience store.

Dean Ackley also noted that a chain pharmacy has been eyeing a site or two in Warrensburg. One location prompting some interest was the former Econo-Quick Car Wash, which was excavated years ago under a brownfield cleanup program. That property is awaiting a final sign-off from the state Department of Environmental Conservation, he added.

“Business owners’ eyes are now on Warrensburg,” Dean Ackley said, noting that large chain operations routinely conduct considerable research on potential retail activity, and their due diligence must have yielded very positive news about Warrensburg’s potential. “And remember, any development we get here benefits the taxpayers — I hope this new activity continues.”

Local officials noted that all these plans for new or relocated businesses locally has followed several large-scale projects in town: Stewart’s relocation into a new pricey

Briefs Duell and Bellstedt married THURMAN — Karen Ann Bellstedt of Mohawk, N.Y. and Karl J. Duell IV of Thurman were united in marriage on Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2011 at the South Glens Falls Baptist Church. The Rev. Bob Hermann performed the doublering ceremony.

Serving as maid of honor was the bride’s sister, Jessica Bellstedt. The best man was Luke Duell, brother of the groom.

Immediately following the ceremony, a reception was held in Thurman at the “Taste of Poland” Restaurant on Bear Pond Road. About 180 guests attended. The newlyweds left for an evening at the Queensbury Hotel and departed the next morning for a four-day honeymoon trip to Puerto Rico. Upon their return, they will be making their home in Warrensburg.

The bride is the daughter of Larry Bellstedt and stepmother Barbara of Mohawk and Pamela Bellstedt of Dolgeville. The groom is the son of Kent and Glenda Duell of Thurman. The newlyweds are graduates of the Center for Natural Wellness in Albany and are employed at the Riverstone Plaza.

Community Band concert planned LAKE GEORGE — The Lake George Community Band will be presenting a concert of classical music adapted for a modern band ensemble at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, March 13 in the Lake George High School auditorium.

This concert is to support of the band programs of both Lake George High and Warrensburg. The band directors of the two schools, Amy Baker and Denise Foster, both play in the Lake George Community Band.

Portions of the proceeds from ticket sales will go to each band program. Several students from each high school band will be performing in the concert.

Tickets for the concert are $10 for adults and $5 for students under age 18. Attendees are urged to obtain tickets early, as seating is limited. Tickets are available at the schools’ main office or from from any community band member and at Triad’s Music Center, Park St., Glens Falls. A shuttle to and from a nearby parking lot will be available. See www.lakegeorgecommunnityband.com

Ski pass drawing aids outreach WARRENSBURG — North Country Ministry, with outreach centers in North Creek and Warrensburg, is raffling off a Gore Mountain season pass to Gore Mountain Ski Resort as first prize in a fundraiser drawing.

The pass, good for the 2011-2012 season, is worth $999.

The other six prizes in the drawing include a round of golf at Cronin's Golf Resort in Warrensburg, an Astral life jacket from Hornbeck Boats, a 30-day gym membership at the Copperfield Inn of North Creek, a canoe trip for two on the lower Hudson River courtesy of Beaverbrook Outfitters and a $25 gift certificate from Bar Vino restaurant and tavern in North Creek.

All proceeds from this raffle will go to the NCM Emergency Assistance Program which helps out people with food, rent and other basic needs.

Tickets are $5 each or five for $20, and are available by calling 251-4425. The drawing is to be held March 15.

Lake George to hold St. Patrick’s Day party LAKE GEORGE — Lake George village’s first annual St. Patrick’s Day celebration is scheduled for Saturday, March 19 on Lower Amherst Street.

Dubbed Sham “Rock” the Block, the street leading to the lake will be closed to vehicle traffic. The all-day event will include live music, vendors, children’s games, bounce houses and traditional Irish food specialties. Admission to the event will be free.

The day’s activities will be topped off by an appearance of the Searson band from Canada at Duffy’s Tavern.

The event is being sponsored by Duffy’s Tavern (6685323) and Bella’s Deli (668-3354) with the cooperation of Lake George village.

“It sounds like a great event,” Mayor Blais said, “and we hope it will grow in the future.”

building, the expansion last year of the famed Oscar ’s Meats, and the redevelopment of Hickory Ski Center, three of the most ambitious investments in recent history on the Warrensburg commercial scene.

“This is a phenomenon that’s great to see,” said John Wheatley, vice president of Warren County Economic Development Corp. His agency has launched a marketing effort for Warrensburg, by evaluating appropriate uses for a dozen or so vacant Main Street buildings, a good number of which will soon be hosting active businesses.

“People are starting to see the value of places like Warrensburg — it really has a lot of potential,” Wheatley said.

Wheatley added that commercial development and revitalization in Warrensburg will have a positive effect on all of northern Warren County, considering that state Rte. 9, which is Warrensburg’s Main Street, is the primary route to vast areas of the Adirondacks spanning three counties.

“Warrensburg provides a vital connection to other towns and villages further into the Adirondacks,” Wheatley said.

Geraghty said he and town board members may soon be seeking streetscape improvement grants for downtown Warrensburg.

Wheatley has been advising Warrensburg officials to seek such grants. Not only from the state government, but from National

Grid, which rewards entrepreneurs launching businesses that create jobs. He said Monday that $25,000 to $50,000 is available to businesses that plan to locate at a site that’s been underutilized or vacant in rural towns or small cities. His agency has helped arrange 19 such grants — for building rehabilitation or new construction — in Glens Falls that have given the city quite a commercial boost.

Such grants not only help launch a business, but they stimulate other businesses to locate and invest nearby, he said.

“If you get some synergy going, commercial activity really moves forward,” he said.

Warrensburg Deputy Supervisor John Alexander said the recent eruption of business plans locally offered a glimpse of a prosperous future here, as Warrensburg is located between the new Global Foundries computer chip fabrication plant in Malta that is expected to create 1,600 high-wage jobs, and the newly expanded Gore Mountain ski resort.

“This is exciting — I knew things would eventually break loose,” said Alexander, who works with a local citizens’ group in planning Warrensburg’s future. “People are realizing that Warrensburg is a viable place to live, raise a family and conduct their businesses — I’m enthused about what we see happening.”

Dr. Aldrich was born in Thurman, son of Squire Daniel and Catherine Aldrich who had a family of six children. They moved to Warrensburgh so their sons might have the best educational advantages by attending the celebrated Warrensburgh Academy, the best school in the locality.

After completing his time there he took up the study of medicine, reciting to his brother, the late Dr. William D. Aldrich. He graduated with honors from Dartmouth College in the class of 1877 and settled into the former medical practice of his brother, in Stony Creek. A month later he married Miss Sarah L. Lewis, daughter of the late Gardner T. Lewis of Warrensburgh and they lived happily there for 33 years.

Dr. Aldrich was in politics an uncompromising Democrat and in 1879 he was elected Town Clerk. For five successive years he was supervisor of Stony Creek and Chairman of the Board for two years. He was president of the Warren County Medical Society.

Dr. Aldrich is survived by his widow and an adopted son, Edmund E. Aldrich. Burial is in the Warrensburgh Cemetery.

Banker blames wife’s extravagance Clayton J. Barber, bookkeeper of the First National Bank of Glens Falls, was sentenced to 7 and 1/2 years in federal prison for making false entries in the books to cover up defalcations extending over 15 years. He told the court that the extravagance of his wife caused his downfall and caused him to spend money far beyond his salary.

James Russell of Thurman has taken his brother David’s farm near Bakers Mills and will move his family there in the spring.

News roundabout There was quite a snowstorm March 9, 1911 but the next two days were warm and sunny. There is plenty of snow at Riverbank now and lumbermen are busy. Young people spend enjoyable time on Saturdays coasting down a long hill near the Riverbank home of Effie Pratt.

Cambridge 57, Lake George 49 ARGYLE — A furious eleventh-hour effort by the Cambridge girls basketball team toppled the talented Lake George Warriors Feb. 26 in a Section II Class C quarterfinal game that ended up 57-49.

The come-from-behind onslaught in the fourth quarter featured a full-court man-toman defense, holding the Warriors to six points while Cambridge put up no less than 20 points on the scoreboard.

The game ended the Warriors’ eventful 2010-11 girls basketball campaign.

The Warriors handled the Cambridge players most of the game, but suffered 11 turnovers in the fourth quarter after the Indians stepped up their play and revved up their defense.

Lake George's Brittany Baker finished with 20 points and 16 rebounds and teammate Kelly Flaherty finished with 18, including four 3-pointers. Caroline Murphy had eight points and Chelsea Sipowicz finished with one three-pointer in the loss.

Lake George ended its season at 13-6.

Found artifacts pre-date pilgrims?

“Uncle” Ben Chesney, who lives below Shaver ’s Mills near Luzerne, has in his possession a relic of days in this section that pre-dates all known history.

It is a small stone, perhaps 10 by 14 inches, oval on one side and faced on the other. On the face side appears the letters, “O.S.” and the figures “1612.” The stone was dug up from the Buttles Cemetery, which is on a part of Uncle Ben’s farm, some 40 years ago. The stone lay on the subsoil and was covered by five feet of sand. It must have been there many, many years and just how it got there is a mystery.

A few years ago after the Adirondack railroad was built, the water coursing through a culvert under the roadbed in the town of Hadley, near the old Beattie place, gullied a strip along the highway and unearthed a quantity of ancient copper coins, which were quickly appropriated by people in that vicinity. Last year there was an old sword dug up on the state road. It is evident from these relics that Luzerne was visited by white men long before its first known settlement by the Yankees.

(Note: The pilgrims did not land in Plymouth, Mass. until 1620, although I find a record of the settlement of the Popham Colony on the Maine coast established there in June, 1607. White men in Luzerne in 1612? Does anyone know if that possible gravestone, the sword or the copper coins have survived in some museum? It is interesting to speculate what other exciting treasures might still be buried possibly in a Luzerne corn field. I would be happy to hear from anyone who has any thoughts on this subject.)

Otis is a private ski area that offers a great venue for testing out the latest skis and boots as well as clinics on skinning, telemark skiing and more. Mini-clinics and demos will be free of charge! For further information, please contact The Mountaineer at 576-2281.

For members of the non-skiing public, the region still has plenty to offer for the coming weekend. There will be action on the ice in many local communities with Ice Fishing Derbies scheduled in Schroon Lake, Cranberry Lake, Long Lake and Saranac Lake, where the 27th annual Colby Classic will be hosted on both Saturday and Sunday.

recent reversal in the region’s winter weather pattern, earlier in the week, ushered in a mix of steady rain and high winds. The brief thaw served to further compact an already dense snowpack.

Last weekend, I spent most of my time skiing the backcountry, where I discovered conditions were beyond ideal.

The deep snowpack, which had been secured with a thick upper crust that permitted quick and easy travel for skiers and ‘shoers alike.

In the upper elevations, the accumulated snowpack of about five to six feet made it easy to travel through areas of thick foliage and over heavy blowdown.

Such conditions allow travelers to cover alot of territory off trail that includes swamps, wetland bogs, and thick balsam summits that are usually inaccessable at other times of the year.

Backcounty skiers return to the valley Hopefully, snow condictions will hold up for the coming weekend, as outdoor enthusiasts will again flock to Keene Valley for The Mountaineer ’s Ninth Annual Adirondack Backcountry Ski Festival.

The annual gathering, a benefit event that supports both the New York State Ski Education Foundation’s Nordic racing programs and the Adirondack Ski Touring Council, stewards of famous Jackrabbit Trail, features a wide range of backcountry ski tours that are hosted by local backcountry guides and a series of demos and mini clinics that will be held at Otis Mountain in Elizabethtown.

On Saturday evening, Heather Paul, a Marmot athlete, ski racer and winter mountaineer who has tackled snow covered terrain ranging from in Alaska to China, and many points between, will deliver a presentation and slide show. The event will hosted at the Keene Valley Firehall and the public is welcome to attend. Admission is $10/per person.

It’s never too soon to plan for camp Although budget concerns had threatened operations at numerous state campgrounds across New York last year; the DEC and local communities rallied both the will and the funding to keep the public campgrounds open for the season.

Due to the slump in the national economy, interest is camping has grown and sleeping out in a tent, which is far cheaper than a hotel room, has blossomed in recent years.

According reports from the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association Outdoor, camping's popularity jumped 7.4 percent between 2007 and 2008. And overnight backpacking was up by over 18 percent, during the same timeframe.

According to recent reports, there are an estimated 33.7 million campers in the United States, where surveys indicate that one out of every seven citizens, take to the woods on an annual basis. North of the border, researchers indicate that one out of every three Canadians take an annual camping trip.

Although most campgrounds don’t open until late May or early June advance reservations for the coming summer season are already pouring in. The long winter may have prompted this early surge, or it could be an indication of the dismal economy.

Confidence that the local economy is once again open for business and vibrant. Confidence that together we can make the local buying experience worth the time and money spent.

Little opposes wine sales in grocery stores ALBANY — State Sen. Betty Little says she will oppose the latest effort to legalize the sale of wine in grocery stores across New York.

In recent years, legislation has been introduced in Albany to allow the sale of wine in the state’s grocery stores, convenience stores, and bodegas. Under current state law, those businesses are only permitted to sell beer and malt beverages. Past bills have failed, and Little says she’ll continue to vote against similar legislation.

Earlier this month, a lobbying organization known as New Yorkers for Economic Growth and Open Markets released a study showing the economic benefits of allowing grocers to sell wine.

The report claims that the state could raise hundreds of millions of dollars through franchise fees for grocery stores, as well as $71.1 million annually through sales tax on additional consumption.

Proponents also claim the sale of wine in grocery stores would create 6,000 net new jobs at wineries and related industries.

Garnet Hill Lodge to go to auction

No reserve set

By Lindsay Yandon lindsay@denpubs.com NORTH RIVER — North River ’s resort gem, The Garnet Hill Lodge, will go to auction this month without reserve.

The 268-acre business property, including 25 guest rooms within the main lodge and two cabins, was originally listed at $2.5 million, but the March 15 auction will allow bidders to name their price and it will sell to the highest bidder.

The property is owned by Joe and Mary Fahy of North River Holdings LLC and includes roughly 16,000 square feet of functional space. The sale is being handled by Vermont’s Sotheby’s real-estate company.

The couple bought the property in 2007 and, according to a press release issued by Sotheby’s last week, the Garnet Hill Lodge has been on the market for some time but failed to find a buyer.

Hence, the property will be sold, “regardless of price.”

George Graham, head of the firm Concierge Auctions, which is handling the auction, spoke about the property’s unique feel.

“The sellers understand this dynamic,” Graham said, “and in order to achieve their goals they are willing to allow the prospective buyers to name the

price.”

The Garnet Hill Lodge was erected circa 1936 just after the Hooper Mine closed and weaves the mining history of the Town of Johnsburg into its theme as well as outdoor offering, which includes expansive cross-country skiing and biking opportunities.

The Fahy family, originally from Boston, purchased the property after a cross-country ski trip led them to the hills of North River.

“I grew up in a guest house in Ireland, and it’s something that I always wanted to do myself,” Joe said. “That’s what brought us here.”

Not only is the property pitched as a resort, but also as a private family estate.

If the property is sold as such, it could

have an effect on the economy of the Johnsburg region, one that relys heavily on tourism dollars generated by visitors who travel to visit Gore Mountain, the Hudson River and other local attractions.

“Garnet Hill Lodge is historical and important to the community of Johnsburg,” said Johnsburg Supervisor Sterling Goodspeed. “We hope to see it continue a successful resort identity with new owners.”

Concierge Auctions will handle the live auction on March 15.

Paul Maroun criticizes Adk Council’s ‘elitism’

VIC friends group building a new future

By Chris Morris

API, volunteers work with colleges

denpubs@denpubs.com

By Andy Flynn

ADIRONDACKS — The fallout of a resolution opposing the fee acquisition of nearly 75,000 acres of land near Tupper Lake and in the southern Adirondacks continues, with one area lawmaker blasting an environmental group’s supposed “elitism.”

Earlier this year, the Adirondack Local Government Review Board unanimously adopted a resolution opposing the state's impending purchase of former Finch Pruyn lands and acreage near Follensby Pond.

The resolution prompted outcry from one of the region’s largest environmental groups, the Adirondack Council. The group’s executive director, Brian Houseal, said the review board resolution was out of line, alleging the taxpayer-funded organization stepped outside its mandate under the state Adirondack Park Agency Act. But last week, APA Chairman Curt Stiles said the review board was free to comment on issues pertaining to state land acquisitions. At the Feb. 23 regular monthly meeting in Johnsburg, Stiles said he supports the review board’s right to voice its opinion regarding state land acquisition.

“Chairman Stiles was not defending their resolution or supporting their resolution,” said Keith McKeever, spokesman for the park agency.

“But he was clearly indicating that he feels as though the review board does have the right — based upon the APA Act and the State Land Master Plan — to do what they did in issuing a resolution,” McKeever added. “So again, he wasn’t supporting the measure, but he was providing his position, which he’s been clear on now for many months. That is, the review board has the right to express its opinion on state land acquisitions.”

The Adirondack Council also said review board Exectuive Director Fred Monroe should recuse himself from voting on such resolutions, noting that he belongs to an exclusive hunting club that would be removed from the Finch lands should the state follow through with the land purchase.

Monroe has since noted that as executive director, he doesn’t actively vote on review board resolutions. In fact, he’s had numerous discussions with Stiles on whether or not it’s appropriate for the review board to weigh-in on land purchases. He says he has the chairman’s support.

“State land purchases are such a large part of the agenda at the agency and they have such a big impact on the park’s residents and we’re sitting at the same table discussing things,” Monroe said. “He has defended, in the past, the right of the review board to comment on these things. He thinks it’s legitimate.”

andy@denpubs.com (Editor's note: This is Part Four 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.)

PAUL SMITHS — History has shown that the Adirondack Park Institute’s tag line — “Teaching a Generation to Care” — was almost taken literally. Now, 22 years after it was founded, the group is poised to teach many more generations.

When Adirondack Park Agency (APA) officials announced in January 2010 that they would be dissolving the Interpretive Programs Division and leaving the Visitor Interpretive Centers (VICs) in Paul Smiths and Newcomb by the end of the year, the VIC friends group — the API — was faced with un uncertain future.

After all, the not-for-profit group was created specifically to fund educational programming — for school kids, families, and the general public — at the two VICs in 1989, the same year the Paul Smiths VIC opened (the Newcomb VIC opened in 1990). With its office located at the Paul Smiths VIC, the API and the state-run VICs were joined at the hip, so to speak. It was a unique public-private partnership, a model for visitor/education centers around the nation.

The API board was left with the question, “What would happen to the API if the VICs closed for good?”

The year 2010 proved to be a pivotal and emotional one for API officials. While the mission remains the same, the partners have changed. API board members will now be teaching generations to care with Paul Smith’s College at the Paul Smiths VIC and the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry at the Adirondack Interpretive Center in Newcomb.

“Both colleges said to the API, ‘Work with us,’” said API Executive Director Dan Fitts, who was hired in 2010. “People love the VICs, and nobody wants them to close, especially us.”

Rebuilding membership The API is a membership-based organization. While it raises program money through grants and fundraisers, it relies heavily on membership dues. Among its list of accomplishments, the API has funded school programs, the Native Species Butterfly House at Paul Smiths, special events, and publications such as the interpretive trail brochures at the Paul Smiths VIC. But in 2010, despite a letter-writing campaign, the API’s membership took a hit.

“Now that our future is more clear, we are able to build membership and attract corporate and foundation funding,” Fitts said in an interview at the Adirondack Research Consortium office at Paul Smith’s College.

Institutional memory Fitts now splits his time between executive director positions at the API and the Adirondack Research Consortium.

Yet his love affair with the VICs began more than 20 years ago.

When the APA was making plans to build the VICs in the 1980s (actually it was only supposed to open one VIC, but Gov. Mario Cuomo decided to open two instead), Fitts was a legislative coordinator for New York Sen. Ronald Stafford.

He helped Stafford find money to build the VICs. “I remember going out there (in Paul Smiths) when the site was filled with trees,” he said.

Fitts’ administrative experience includes a 10-year stint as the executive director of the Adirondack Park Agency, from 1995 to 2005, a time that he cherishes mostly for his work with the two VICs. “The one thing being away from the APA that I missed the most was the VICs,” he said.

Volunteer corps Since the VICs opened, volunteers from the community — seasonal and year-round residents — have helped the staff and the API with educational programs, special events, the front desk, the Butterfly House, trail walks, and special projects. With an ever-dwindling staff count at both buildings, the volunteer corps had been an essential component of public programming. The larger group of volunteers — reaching about 60 — was located at the Paul Smiths VIC. “I think the transition was very hard on them,” Fitts said of the volunteers. “They didn’t know what was going on, other than the VICs were closing.”

While the API and both colleges helped bridge the institutional memory gap between the old and new owners of the VICs — by holding meetings with the volunteers in late 2010 — many, such as longtime Paul Smiths VIC volunteers Dick and Joy Harvey, found the lack of information and communication frustrating. The Harveys mainly volunteer with school field trip programs.

“Our biggest concern is that we would like to know what is being done to re-establish the environmental education programs here,” Dick Harvey said while volunteering for the Jan. 29 Chili Ski Tasting event. “The school groups. Will we have them? And, if so, who's going to run them?”

Volunteers, for the most part, are retired and don’t have time to administer programs, Dick Harvey said, suggesting that the API hire a full-time paid naturalist to coordinate the school group programs. He also recommended that Paul

Smith’s College and the API keep the volunteers updated on a regular basis with the plans for the VIC. “So we have a degree of confidence and know that they are working toward these programs,” Dick Harvey said.

“Right now we are in the dark.”

Vision for the API Fitts plans on holding informational meetings with the volunteers at Paul Smiths and Newcomb in the near future to answer many of their questions. In the meantime, he outlined some of the API’s plans.

In Newcomb, the API will continue to sponsor programs and events at the AIC with its new partner, SUNY-ESF. It will also continue to fund two paid summer internships there.

In Paul Smiths, the API will fund the Butterfly House (including a paid naturalist), the Nature for the Very Young program, school field trip programs (starting in the spring), and three traditional special events: the ski festival in January, the Great Adirondack Birding Celebration in June, and the Adirondack Wildlife Festival in August. All this in partnership with Paul Smith’s College.

While working with the two colleges on their plans for the VICs, Fitts sees a similarity between the excitement in the 1980s and today.

“This is the excitement I felt when we first planned the VICs … I see a Renaissance coming here,” Fitts said. “Both colleges have visionary ideas which are fresh and new.”

The API is still working on a Memorandum of Understanding with Paul Smith’s College, and, therefore, many of the details regarding programs are not yet available.

TL woman wins $1.2 million at North Country casino

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com TUPPER LAKE — A Tupper Lake woman walked out of a North Country casino with some extra cash last weekend.

Accortding to news reports, Patti Breault went to the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino with the hopes of winning a $2,000 cash giveaway.

She ended up with a little more than $2,000 after winning big – $1.2 million to be exact – on the Mega Millions slot machine. Breault, who was facing foreclosure on her home while helping her ailing elderly mother, told the newspaper she thought there was "something wrong with the machine."

Breault has worked as a residential supervisor for Sunmount Developmental Disabilities Services for more than three decades and says she doesn't plan on retiring despite winning the big bucks.

Pennsylvania man survives two nights in the woods

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com RAQUETTE FALLS — A Pennsylvania man is lucky to be alive after spending two nights in the Adirondack wilderness over the weekend.

Officials with the state Department of Environmental Conservation say 26-year-old Scott Molnar was snowshoeing in the Seward Mountain Range on Saturday when he got lost near the summit of Mount Emmons.

Molnar didn't emerge from the woods until Monday morning.

Media reports indicate he tried to continue snowshoeing in order to stay warm, but was eventually forced to light a fire and dry his clothing.

He continued working his way back toward Coreys Road, and was eventually found by a forest ranger near Raquette Falls. Molnar suffered severe frostbite on his extremities – temperatures dipped below freezing on both Saturday and Sunday night. He was treated at the Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake.

Forest rangers also rescued hikers from the Trap Dyke area over the weekend, as well as a woman lost near Mt. Marcy.

Then, late last week, Franklin County Legislator Paul Maroun got into the mix. The Republican lawmaker called the Adirondack Council “elitist.”

“Someone has to start opposing the Adirondack Council’s representatives for the way they treat local governments and local government officials,” Maroun said in a statement sent to area news outlets.

The council had called the review board resolution “shameful” and “baseless.”

Maroun disagreed, noting that he challenges Brian Houseal to put him "out of office" in his next election. Maroun adamantly opposes the state purchase of more land for the forest preserve.

“I am elected to represent my district and the only thing I have heard from most of the constituents from my district is that the state already owns too much land,” he said.

Maroun claimed the state already fails in its duty to properly manage the lands it currently owns. He says there should be no discussion of purchasing additional lands due to the state’s ongoing fiscal crisis.

Additionally, Maroun blasted the region’s environmental organizations for doing “nothing to foster economic growth or prosperity” in the Tupper Lake area.

Maroun said he isn’t against the procurement of “small, unique” parcels — but not “80,000 some acres.”

Meanwhile, Adirondack Council spokesman John Sheehan says the organization respectfully disagrees with APA Chairman Curt Stiles, who last week said the Adirondack Local Government Review Board can, legally, comment on state land issues. Sheehan said the council is on “solid ground” in its belief that the review board stepped out of line in issuing its resolution of opposition.

“However, if the chairman believes that the review board is doing something that they’re entitled to do, I don't think that we need to do anything but disagree on that particular front,” he said.

“It’s something that I think, ultimately, will have to be decided by an independent third party,” Sheehan added. “I don't think it’s any reflection on Mr. Stiles that the review board has done what it's done — even though we don't think they consulted with him in the first place. We respect his opinion, even though we disagree with it.”

Maroun said taxpayers in Franklin County have contributed money to the review board to aid in efforts to lobby Gov. Andrew Cuomo and lawmakers, the goal being to halt the impending fee acquisitions.

The land is currently held by the Adirondack Chapter of the Nature Conservancy. Officials with the organization note that some 90 percent of the lands in question are located in towns that previously approved the state’s purchase.

Maroun, in the interest of being “totally transparent,” revealed that he belongs to the River Ridge Hunting Club, located on the Follensby tract of land.
