QUEENSBURY — Town Supervisor Dan Stec’s bid for a seat in Congress was dealt a blow Monday when Stec’s own Warren County Republicans chose a candidate from elsewhere — affiliated with the Tea Party movement — over their hometown supervisor.

Stec lost the Warren County G.O.P. party endorsement to Patrick Ziegler of Burnt Dan Stec Hills by six votes. Chris Gibson of Kinderhook and David Harper of Saratoga Springs finished a distant third and fourth respectively.

This four-way showdown in Warren County was the first of 10 county party endorsements in selecting a candidate to challenge Democratic Congressman Scott Murphy in New York’s 20th District.

Ziegler said Tuesday because of the current national political climate, health care is likely to drive much of the coming election.

“What we really need is more competition instead of less — We need a clear set of laws and guidelines so insurance companies have strict set of guidelines,” Ziegler said. “But we also need to take out some of the more inane regulations that are preventing co-ops, that are preventing coming together as groups to drive down costs.”

Last year, Murphy voted against the federal health care bill, but has remained relatively silent about his upcoming vote on the legislation, which is expected to see the House floor late this week.

Warren County Republican Committee Chairman Mike Grasso wouldn’t say how close the vote tally was between Stec and Ziegler. But sources said Monday night Ziegler beat Stec by a six votes.

Warren County Republicans are the first of the 10 county committees in the 20th district to throw its support behind a candidate.

G.O.P officials from Essex and Washington counties attended Monday’s meeting in Queensbury, but they aren’t expected to make their formal endorsement for another two weeks.

WARRENSBURG — As a group of young mothers on limited income browsed Friday afternoon through racks of gently-used toddler clothing in a room at North Country Ministry’s Warrensburg Outreach Center, a halfdozen volunteers sorted and hung up clothing, answered phones and conducted chores.

Just about one year ago today, North Country Ministries, based in Johnsburg, opened this satellite center to serve growing needs in northern Warren County.

During that debut year, the Ministry’s Warrensburg Outreach Center has logged over 900 contacts per month.

It’s a place where families can find clothing in all sizes for every family member, as well as find assistance in paying the rent or for medicines or a fuel bill. The Outreach staff also offers ideas in effective parenting and help in finding housing or a good job.

The center has about doubled the number of clients that North Country Ministry serves.

North Country Ministry Chairman Brother James Posluszny said the services that his agency provides are needed more than ever.

Clients have come from over 20 different communities to seek help.

“It’s the condition of the times in general, plus we opened the Warrensburg Outreach Center right when

WCS School Board meeting notes:

Students lobby to retain volleyball

M

embers of the Warrensburg Central School Varsity Girls Volleyball team showed up March 8 at the school board meeting, protesting potential elimination of the high school’s volleyball program.

Board members advised the players that no firm decisions on cutting any programs have yet been made. Hopefully every program and sport can stay as is, however with state aid dwindling, it may not be feasible to retain all programs while maintaining a zero tax increase.

High School Principal Doug Duell announced the summer basketball camp will be offered from June 28 to July 1 at the high school. The cost of the program is $45 if registered before May 1 and $50 afterwards. Contact the school for registration forms.

The High School musical this year is Evita, and will be presented March 25 through 27. Tickets can be purchased at the high school.

Elementary Principal Amy Langworthy announced that $1,400 was raised from the Scrapathon event to purchase equipment for the playground. She expressed thanks to all who attended this workshop and appreciation to Kim Ross for organizing the event.

Also announced was a $750 contribution by Stewart’s Shops toward the Warrensburg Pride program. The next school board meeting is set for 7 p.m. April 19 in the high school library.

Maple Days continue this weekend Thurman’s Maple sugaring operations will be open this weekend and next, March 20 through 21, and March 27 and 28. Thurman Maple farms including Adirondack Gold on Bear Pond Rd., Valley Road Maple Farm on Valley Rd. and Toad Hill farm on Old Charles Rd. will all be open. Both visitors and residents are encouraged to come tour the sugar houses and purchase some great homemade maple products including syrup, candy and more. For details, call 623-9718.

Warrensburg baseball and softball sign-ups set Registration for the Warrensburg Youth Baseball and Softball teams will take place Friday March 19 in the elementary school lobby from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and on March 31 — WCS Elementary open house night — from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the school cafeteria. The cost for each program is as follows: Slow pitch/Tee-ball, 5-7 year olds, $25; Baseball/Minors, 7-9 year olds, $35; Baseball/Majors, 10-12 year olds, $35; Softball, 7-12 year olds, $35.

Players who are 5 years old must be in Kindergarten in order to participate. Players who turn 13 years old on or before April 30 are not eligible. Payment is due at the time of registration. Family discounts are available: the first child is full registration cost, each additional child is $10; with a maximum of $75 per family. For details, contact Regina Monthony at 623-5520.

Tennebrae service at Presbyterian Church

Bus Leasing vote passes easily In a special election March 9, Warrensburg Central School District residents voted 241-53 to approve leasing three school buses over the next five years for an estimated cost of $48,000. There are about 4,000 eligible voters in the school district.

Leasing buses is expected to lower repair costs while putting newer, safer buses on the road, school officials have said. Also, leasing will eliminate the need to raise $300,000 annually from taxpayers to pay for the up-front expense of purchasing three buses, while waiting for 85 percent state reimbursement that is strung out over a five-year projected lifespan of the vehicles.

The lease costs would be reimbursed by the state in the year the expense is incurred by the District.

The plan, subject to approval, is to lease three additional buses each year until the school’s entire fleet of 15 is replaced.

On Thursday April 1 at 6:30 p.m in Warrensburg First Presbyterian Church’s the fellowship hall, a soup and bread meal will be held followed by a celebration of the Lord's Supper. The service represents an "open table" for Christians of all denominations, according to parishioners. Afterwards, the service will move upstairs to the sanctuary where participants will remember, through scripture and song, the seven last words of Christ. All are welcome to join. Those with questions, contact Rev. Lucy Harris at 623-2723.

The First United Methodist Church of Warrensburg will be holding their annual Roast Beef Dinner Saturday March 20, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the church hall. The church is located at 3890 Main St. The cost for a fun social time and good homemade food is $9 per person, with children under 5 free. On the menu are roast beef and gravy, baked potatoes

Those residents who do not have television cable available at their property and want the service, are asked to contact the town supervisor and he will turn over the information to Time Warner Cable.

The Warrensburg Comprehensive Plan Committee will meet from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. March 23 at the elementary school. Those who have ideas for municipal growth and enhancement are urged to attend and voice opinions.

WARRENSBURG — Recent storms have downed tree limbs throughout town, leaving yards littered with broken branches, and the town government is willing to help out.

Despite a brush ban at the town dump, town highway crews are busy circulating through town and picking up roadside brush and disposing of it.

Property owners are welcome to pile a reasonable amount of brush by the side of the road, and it will be picked up by town crews, Supervisor Kevin Geraghty said this week.

“Residents can call the Town Hall and let us know they’ve got a pile of brush, and a crew will go out there to pick it up,” he said.

This service, offered in addition to the upcoming annual Spring Clean-Up Days, was launched because of the damage caused by the recent snow storms, Geraghty said in response to an inquiry March 10 by Hudson Ave. resident Gary Cooper, who questioned the town’s brush ban at the dump.

Answering Cooper ’s concerns at the monthly Town Board meeting, Geraghty noted that as of October 2009, the town stopped taking in brush, as was customary for decades, in response to the state Department of Environmental Conservation’s move to prohibit municipal burning of brush.

The policy change has angered rural town officials, but DEC has defended the action on the basis of protecting the state’s air quality.

With the only remaining practical method of disposing of brush being chipping it in a tub grinder, which the town doesn’t own, the town board decided to quit accepting brush.

A tub grinder costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, and there’s a long list of towns that are now seeking state grants to help out with the cost, Town Board member Austin Markey said.

Geraghty said that the DEC ban on municipalities burning didn’t make sense, because towns burn under controlled, safe situations, unlike backyard

Lake George Village to cut Village holds off on sex offender spending in coming year law, citing legal concerns

By Thom Randall

But tax levy to go up 1.2 percent

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Despite a looming 26.6 percent increase in health care premiums paid for its employees, Lake George village has cut enough of its expenses in other areas to contain its upcoming tax increase to 1.2 percent.

Monday night, the village released details of its 2010-11 budget, which calls for $1.28 million to be raised by taxes, a $15,114 increase over 2009-10.

The spending plan calls for $3.85 million in appropriations, a $75,209 increase over the budget as presented last year, but $137,655 less than the present budget after it was amended to provide for unexpected revenue shortfalls.

The $3,851,454 in appropriations for 201011 is to be reduced by $2,385,179 in revenues and $185,000 in fund balance, leaving $$1,281,275 to be raised in taxes.

Workers’ health premiums to be hiked A public hearing has been set for 7 p.m.

Wednesday March 24 for citizens to air their views on the budget.

The health premium increase prompted the Village Board to vote Monday to increase the Village employees’ existing contribu-

thom@denpubs.com

tions toward health premiums by two percentage points. The increases are effective June 1 for active employees and next Jan. 1 for retirees.

Now, employees and retirees pay anywhere from zero percent to fifty percent of the premiums, depending on when they were hired and years of service.

Board votes for revaluation According to the 2010-11 budget, the assessed valuation of property in the village is expected to decline from $156.9 million to $154.7 million.

Village Mayor Robert Blais said these figures don’t reflect actual value, noting that the state has set the village’s equalization rate at 58 percent this year.

Blais said the artificially low property valuation, offset by the equalization rate which essentially boosts the assessment back to estimated full value, is a disservice to taxpayers, as it curtails state and federal aid and reduces the village’s appropriation of sales tax revenues, Blais said.

“We should have a reappraisal done in fairness to our village citizens,” Mayor Robert Blais said.

Hearing the mayor ’s concerns, the village board voted to lobby the town assessor to conduct a revaluation of village properties this year.

LAKE GEORGE — Although the village of Lake George has the most motel and hotel rooms in the region — a fact which may draw sex offenders chased out of other communities, the village board decided Monday to hold off on legislation to regulate and license hotels hosting them.

Village Mayor Robert Blais warned, however, that with other nearby communities passing laws limiting the number of sex offenders staying at hotels and motels, Lake George might experience an influx of them.

A local land-use law recently passed in the town of Lake Luzerne — and now under consideration in the towns of Lake George and Queensbury — limits the number of sex offenders that could live at once in a motel or hotel and require the host business to post a public notification that such individuals were staying on the

premises.

This law requires that motels and hotels hosting sex offenders to apply for and obtain a license, costing $3,000 per year, from the town government.

For the law proposed for the town of Lake George — in the vicinity surrounding the Village — a public hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Wednesday March 31.

Both these laws are based on the one passed months ago in the town of Colonie.

Civil rights advocates have already announced intentions to overturn the Colonie law.

But Lake George Mayor Blais said Monday that these sex offender laws weren’t likely to withstand court challenges, based on what he’d heard.

“You can’t take a certain class of individuals and restrict them like this through zoning,” he said. “Besides, the $3,000 licensing fee won’t hold up in court.”

He said the village would be wise to wait out the immanent legal challenges and

save legal costs in defending such a law, then pass a law that a state court determines would be legal.

Village Trustee Joe Mastrodomenico suggested that the village go ahead with the law, but without charging a fee. It was important, he said, to protect tourists by requiring motels and hotels to post a sign warning others that they were hosting sex offenders.

Blais said that it was a good idea to post such information, but the local laws as recently passed by other communities were likely on shaky Constitutional grounds.

Besides, he said, very few village motels or hotels could now legally accommodate sex offenders, since existing state laws prevented them from living within set distances from churches, schools, parks and playgrounds which are scattered throughout the village.

“There’s very few places in Lake George village that sex offenders legally can be housed,” he said.

•100 Years Ago – March-April, 1910• Sweltering weather in March?

N

o robin looks for spring more anxiously than the family man who keeps the furnace going all winter.

With the mercury 90 degrees in the shade April 5, 1910, Warrensburgh citizens were treated to weather that prompts spring fever. Hardly a breath of air stirred to break the quiet of the day and people on the street perspired from their exertion. There were few automobiles out and about which protected pedestrians from the annoyance of flying dust. Some predict that this present pleasant weather will not last and snow may again make an appearance by next week.

All kinds of summer birds are with us and the frogs are peeping every evening as they normally do in May. Roads are getting dry and dusty. Some of the farmers already have their gardens plowed. River log driving has begun in earnest. No gentleman has yet dared to take his straw hat out of storage.

County Home passes scrutiny An inspection of the Warrensburgh County Home was made Jan. 26, 1910 and a report was made to be read at the Board of Supervisor ’s April session. It said in part, “The Almshouse is old, but is taking on an appearance of great comfort. The second floor of the men’s rear wing is the only portion without metal sheeted walls. Most of the floors are very old and should be renewed.

Laundry work is done by hand in a detached building.

The dormitories for men are frame buildings, hence combustible. The only means of exit from the second floor is by piazza roofs or by a single, steep, narrow flight of stairs in each building.

The sick men receive good care in a pleasant, sunny hospital ward from which opens on a wide veranda. Nine men are in the hospital at this time. Useless inmates are regulated so that kitchen work is done by special men who understand that kind of work. It is felt that better fire inspection is needed.

There is strict attention to duty at the home and absolutely no intoxication is allowed. The cleanliness of the Almshouse is because of the strict inspections of Supervisor E.W. Griggs who receives a salary of $800 a year. Matron Mrs. G.N. Swan receives $500 a year.

(Note…Because the state mandated that every county provide a poorhouse, in 1826 the county purchased 200 acres along both sides of the Schroon River in Warrensburg for $1,400 for that purpose and a building was erected on the west bank of the river. Land on the Warrensburg side was purchased from James Durham and land on the Bolton side was acquired from Halsey Rogers.

By 1860 the building became too small to meet the needs of the poor which were rapidly growing in number and a “plain, substantial and convenient county-house at or near the old house on said farm” was built. The native stone

portion, quarried near by was built by Peter Bewel who also built the old stone building that today stands at the apex of Main and Hudson streets in Warrensburg.

Support for each of the 54 residents that resided there at that time was estimated at 90 cents a week, supplemented by food raised on the large farm. Each inmate was expected to work if able.

The county home was further enlarged and saw many changes over the years. Eventually another “residential hall” was built across the street and today the time honored old “almshouse” has been converted into an apartment house complex.)

Flurry of activity in Lake George Robert Ludlow, of the firm of Ludlow & Peabody, architects, is in charge of the plans for the new Fort William Henry Hotel and can be seen walking the grounds daily.

He expects that the foundation will be commenced not later than May 1, 1910. Walls, floating decks, summer houses, etc., will be built and a new train depot will replace the current structure. The Delaware and Hudson railroad is expected to spend over $500,000 on the project and many local men will be employed.

Hardworking girl praised A Bakers Mills gentleman wrote to the Warrensburgh News, “We have a good sensible girl here in town who will take the medal for doing barn chores. Miss Cecil Sawyer, 13, took care of two colts, one yearling, the other a twoyear-old horse, nineteen sheep, a cow and calf and 20 hens for 17 weeks, while her father, Lewis Sawyer and brother, Clarence were at Long Lake West in the lumber woods working for William Montgomery.”

(Note…These were the days before video games and “texting” came along to forever change America’s youth.)

Good price, good bargains, easy terms There is a large farm, situate in the town of Thurman, five miles from Warrensburgh, 131 acres, eight room house in fair condition, three large barns, a large fertile garden, plenty of wood, well fenced. The owner will sell for $900 with easy terms and no down payment.

Every day is bargain day at Regner ’s store, the old Lavery’s emporium on Elm St., Warrensburgh. Spring house cleaning has come again and the tack hammer is heard once more.

Three pounds of fresh salmon is 25 cents and three large cakes of toilet soap are 25 cents. Fine new men’s footwear sells for 89 cents a pair. Regner ’s new store is on the banks of the Schroon River. (The store was on the lot across the street from present day Riverside Gallery.)

Distinction is the keynote of the sumptuous Easter exhibition of 1910’s daintiest wash goods at B.B. Fowler & Co.’s store in Glens Falls. Domestic gingham is 7 cents to 15 cents a yard. Imported French zibeline is 29 cents a yard. venience store on Stewart Farrar Ave., it’s hard to imagine anything that would change and ruin the character of this historic and beautiful part of town more than a gas station, with its bright lights, and the constant flow of traffic entering and exiting the store until 11 p.m. or midnight all year round. Some gas stations are less ugly than others, but there’s no gas station that’s not ugly in a neighborhood of stately old houses, churches, and a beautiful old library – a state-recognized Historic District. The damage, once done, is irrevocable.

Mistakes made decades ago by demolishing historic houses or by building incompatible structures nearby cannot justify permitting the same kind of mistake again. Zoning to forbid this kind of use in this location demonstrates recognition of those past mistakes, and represents an attempt to preserve what’s left of the neighborhood’s unique and historic character. It shows we can learn from our mistakes but can we retain what we learned and not change the zoning to allow a use the zoning was specifically intended to prevent?

Some predict that we’ll end up with two Stewart’s Shops.

Is this concern warranted? Well, besides the two in Corinth, consider Hudson Falls and Ft. Edward, the combined population of which is 9,700 — barely double the 4,700 of Warrensburg. Southward from the village park in Hudson Falls are two Stewart’s and two Cumberland Farms in just 1.2 miles! Each company has its two stores on opposite sides of the street to catch traffic in both directions (as Stewart’s does in Corinth). Each has another store one mile farther south in downtown Ft. Edward, and each has another within 1.4 miles north of the village park - a total of eight stores and gas stations in 3.7 miles! Warrensburg, look out!

The above is also an example of how Stewart’s and Cumberland Farms tend to pair up against one another. In Cambridge, they’re right next door to each other.

It’s curious the property assessment of Stewart’s thriving business is only 67 percent of the slightly larger but unsuccessful and unkempt Potter ’s property, only 60 percent of the defunct White House Lodge, and only 6 percent higher than the next private residential property to the north, which is smaller and narrower than Stewart’s lot. Might this seem like something akin to a tax break for Stewart’s, even while the town is concerned about tax revenues?

Perhaps town officials could use their good offices to accomplish a swap between the Potter ’s and Hudson Headwaters Health Network properties, so Stewart’s could end up with a lot the same size as the one they’re trying to acquire, have plenty of room to enlarge, and remain in the location where they belong.

News from Johnsburgh Corners Frank Monthany of North Creek and Miss Vera A. Holland of North River were married April 2, 1910 at the Methodist Episcopal parsonage.

A barn and contents owned by Henry Johnson burned.

The fire was caused by overheating of damp corn stalks and there was only a small insurance.

James Ronan is having a new barn built on his home farm. Fred Scriber has painted the building for the graphite company.

Fred Burdick is selling the Oliver sulky plow and has been around showing farmers how to use it. It works well on any level ground.

New bank opens in North Creek The North Creek National Bank recently organized with Howard H. Pruyn of Glens Falls as president and R.J. Martin as cashier, was opened for business April 4, 1910. The new bank will occupy quarters temporarily in the building opposite the Adirondack Hotel in North Creek and during the coming summer the bank will build a new modern home.

News roundabout Orlando Bryant, who was arrested March 31, 1910 for public intoxication, was given a hearing the next day before Justice Hodgson who sentenced the prisoner to 30 days in the county jail or pay a fine of $30. Bryant paid the fine.

Maurice O’Connor, proprietor of the Warren House (currently Stewart’s store lot) has been suffering from an abscess in his ear. Arthur Cleveland cut the forefinger of his left hand with a jack knife nearly severing it at the first joint.

Lem Hayes is building a shoe shop on South St., Warrensburgh. While see-sawing at the Igerna School, Leone Daney fell onto a rock and broke her leg below the knee.

The Kenyontown Baptist Church has received a fine new organ as a gift from the Lanchester Sunday School at Buffalo. Soper and Somerville’s new fertilizer spreader has arrived and it is a dandy.

Frank W. Orton and Walter Pasco will be census enumerators for the work that will begin April 15, 1910. Frank Cameron will have the job in Thurman and Grant Glassbrook will serve in Stony Creek.

Dr. C.B. Cunningham is preparing to build this season a handsome residence on his lot adjoining Henry Griffin’s place on Elm St., Warrensburgh and work will start immediately. (Note…This is the big house just south of the library where Dr. Lawrence had his practice for so many years).

Readers are welcome to contact Adirondack Journal correspondent Jean Hadden at jhadden1@nycap.rr.com or 623-2210.

Some have suggested senior housing as appropriate for Stewart Farrar Street. This would certainly be consistent with history. Fifty-plus years ago, seniors predominated throughout the neighborhood: names such as Cunningham (3), McCann (2), Russell, Frasier, Burbridge, Martin, Dickenson, Stone, Newland, Richford, Osborne, Savage, Bedell, Potter, Hastings, Bertrand, and Smith all lived within a seven-iron shot of the Stewart Farrar property; non-seniors were scarce.

Raze the Gaslight structures!

To the editor: In September 2008 the Warren County Board of Supervisors passed a very wise and telling resolution with respect to the Gaslight Village property in Lake George. The resolution said in part that Warren County would have no obligation for any cost whatsoever in connection with the repairs, improvements and renovations associated with this property. The Village of Lake George passed a similar resolution.

It seems clear that these two municipalities had no faith that the rehabilitation of two abandoned amusement park structures made any economic sense. There was, and continues to be, no business or financial plan for the use of these structures. Unfortunately for taxpayers of the Town of Lake George, their officials decided to go it alone. This opened the floodgates of spending and town taxpayers incurred in excess of $ 150,000 in cash expenditures and allocated costs in an attempt to prop up these tired ghost-town relics. Their attempt failed. The end product was one useless skeletal frame, the former Opera House which has been declared unsafe by the county. The County Attorney recommended that it be fenced off and signs posted to declare the site off limits. The County ad hoc committee on Gaslight Village voted in favor of this recommendation March 4.

We now understand that the County Board of Supervisors is being asked, by some people, to renovate the Cavalcade of Cars. Why would they even consider doing that ? The integrity of the wood in the Opera House was so poor it was not repairable. The wood in the Cavalcade of Cars is of the same vintage as in the Opera House. Will we end up with a second money-devouring sink hole and another useless skeletal frame? Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it!

Vopleus benefit dinner coming up

F

riends and neighbors of Don Vopleus are getting together to hold a spaghetti dinner Saturday March 20 at the Thurman Town Hall in Athol from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. to benefit Don’s family, which has been through substantial hardship.

Besides good food and fellowship, a silent auction will also take place at this event.

Donations of spaghetti, sauce or any dessert are being accepted. To help out, call Jesse at 791-6118. Don was hurt Nov. 15 when a tree fell, crushing him to the ground. After many months in the hospital and rehabilitation center, he is now recuperating at home. The proceeds will all go to the Vopleus family.

Those who would like to send a donation and cannot attend the dinner, stop by the Town Hall offices or send a check to P.O. Box 29, Athol, NY 12810 Attn: Vopleus fund. A silent auction will also take place at this event.

Spring arrives in the North Country Welcome Spring! Today is the first day of the Spring season, so with all this snow up here to melt, it will soon be mud season.

Clocks were moved ahead last Sunday, so now you will be reading the Adirondack Journal one hour earlier than you have been! What did you used to or formerly get done in that hour that you lost last Sunday?

Perhaps readers may not know that many of the older generation refused to change their clocks after this newfangled daylight savings time was introduced during the World War II era.

The farmers who had their cows on a milking schedule couldn’t change the animals being at the gate and ready and the tiny babies also didn’t change wake-up time or their feeding schedules.

Over the fence Many calls came in after the article was published March 5 in the daily newspaper describing controversy linked to area ambulance squads. Callers questioned the town’s action in withholding financial support to the Thurman Emergency Medical Services. Callers also questioned whether it was proper for the town to hold onto cemetery funding. Others were upset that squad officer Suzie Baker was questioned — she’s been Treasur-

er for the ambulance squad for five years. I believe she has been a very honest person during her years as youth community leader, Mommie & Me play group leader, as well as an advocate of the Child Alert program —and so much more in the line of volunteer work. The callers hope to see an open apology to this lady. Why has Thurman changed so much?

Also, a compliment was received on the repairs to the cemetery near the town hall. It really looks nice.

More gripes came in on the cruelty being dealt our governor — even Bill Clinton wasn’t pounded this much with all that he did.

An older Journal reader called to say one subject that is not taught our local schools is respect. Can we put this on the new calendar for 2010-2011?

Get Well wishes from the community go out to Richard Wormwood, Wanda Vopleus, Jackie Dingman, Don Vopleus, Ed Brown, Elmer Buyce, and Hial Hall III. The town Youth Commission expresses thanks to Pat Baker for her generous contributions of gifts which will be used for children’s parties.

Volunteers -- perhaps a couple of friends -- are needed to take over organizing the annual project of arranging the Christmas baskets for December delivery. No, it’s not too early, as now would be the time to start watching the stores for marked-down items that would make appropriate small gifts; also to watch for containers to use, and to check the list of those who will get baskets. Those who’d like to help, call 623-2909 or 623-2580.

Special days in the hills Happy Anniversary wishes go out March 23 to Charles and Barb Metzger, married 53 years, and to Bonnie and Bernie Monroe on March 24.

Adding a year with another birthday is Lance Chadwell and Chance McCraw on March 20; Patrick Galusha and Billy Arnold, March 21; Mark Kelly and Dan Cameron Jr., March 22; Bertha Bellanger, March 23; Kaitlyn Kuklinski, March 24; Rex Reynolds III and Josh Kenyon, March 25; and Don Vopleus, Brandon Beadnell, and Chloe Castro, March 26.

Events and activities in Thurman Plan ahead for the Easter party to be held from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday April 3 at the Thurman Town Hall. There will be an Easter egg hunt and an Easter bonnet contest. Parents are being asked to accompany the children and to have some fun too.

Donations of eggs or snack foods would be appreciated. For details, call Maria at 623-9961.

To all parents that bring their children to the youth commission parties and summer programs, please be advised that each person that has contact with the kids through the program has had their background thoroughly checked, commission officials have said.

The Thurman quilting group meets at 6:30 p.m. on Monday March 22 at the town hall. Everyone who likes to create things,

can stop by and see if you would like to join. Call Myra at 6232633 for details.

The Thurman Connections Snowmobile Club will meet at 7 p.m. Friday March 26 in the Thurman Town Hall in Athol.

Meetings are open to everyone and new members are welcome.

The club members are busy making new trails all year long and they are always looking for snowmobilers to help.

Maple Weekends continue in Thurman All are urged to follow road signs to locate and attend open sugar houses this weekend in Thurman for tours and various activities. For information, call 623-9718. Maps are available to the sites hosting activities during this statewide celebration of maple products, which continues this weekend and next.

Sugar Loaf Seniors activities set The Sugar Loaf Senior Club members and anyone wishing to join this happy group will be meeting Wednesday March 24 at the China Town Restaurant on Route 9 in Queensbury at 11 a.m.

The group will also discuss some upcoming trips, so folks are asked to bring their ideas and suggestions on where they would like to go. New members are always welcome. For details, call 623-9425.

Mommie & Me group to resume activities soon The Mommie & Me preschool play group invites parents and caretakers of youngsters from all area towns to join their weekly sessions, which are now suspended for March, but resuming in April. The group organizers would like to have more mothers, fathers and caretakers attending the regular session, and everybody is invited to become acquainted with the group in April, when the group sessions resume. What better time will there be for such an opportunity than when warmer weather arrives?

Meetings of Mommie & Me are to be held in April at 9:30 a.m. on the 16th, 23rd, and 30th in the town youth building in Athol.

This group welcomes all who would like to get to know some other parents or caretakers with young children. While the kids are busy playing, making crafts, or looking at books, the moms can talk over any child-related issues. Many activities and outings are planned, and also a trip once in a while. Call Jennifer at 623-5024 — she said this week she would like to hear from all parents and caretakers.

In the upcoming sessions, the group will likely be planting seeds for Spring, or maybe drawing pictures or playing outside.

The group members hope to see you at a get-acquainted meeting April 16. Snacks are provided for all.

Return the photo of Elmer Buyce!

The photograph of Elmer Buyce that was hanging on the wall at the Thurman Town Hall vanished several weeks ago. Anyone with information about the whereabouts of the photo, please help get it returned, or call 623-9961.

Townsfolk come out and show Battling those appreciation to Buyces at party little furry

By Joan Harris

denpubs@denpubs.com

THURMAN — Sunny, fair weather on March 6 brought together more than 160 friends, neighbors and family members for the purpose of wishing Elmer Buyce a grand Get Well party.

The Thurman Baptist Church hosted this hometown open house, hometown style, in honor of Thurman residents Elmer and Myrtle Buyce for all that they have contributed to the many town organizations and their church.

Thom I know you requested this, but I didn’t how much you wanted to know.

Elmer has been involved in the Southern Adirondack Four-Wheeling Club, Sugarloaf Mountain Senior Citizens, Thurman Connection Snowmobiling Club. Myrtle has taught a Sunday School class, and the two have been loyal members and helped the church in many ways.

The Buyces' relatives had the opportunity to meet many of Elmer and Myrtle’s church family and neighbors and had the opportunity to hear how much they are appreciated and honored.

Elmer, who has been diagnosed with cancer, will begin his treatments and many wanted to wish him well and thank both of them for their

many years of service.

The men Elmer worked with for the Town and several town Supervisors attended and showed their appreciation.

A PowerPoint slide show of Elmer and Myrtle was enjoyed by everyone including

their family members.

This get-together also gave an opportunity for the Buyces to thank all those who have helped them in many ways and to those who continue to offer their services.

This hometown apprecia-

tion party once again shows the true heart of Thurman and the old fashioned smalltown attitude that makes this town so great — Neighbors and friends appreciating each other in time of need!

THURMAN — As if it’s not rough enough to get older, aging brings with it some hardships, including accomplishing the normal household chores.

As anyone in the North Country knows first-hand, such chores in rural homes include battling uncalled-for wars with cute little mice, who in the wintertime are both hungry and are looking for a warmer place to make a nest.

Long ago, we set out traps baited with cheese. Well, now the mice have more exotic tastes.

A few of the critters go to a trap baited with peanut butter, and they can slurp it off without springing the trap.

Other mice only go for the more expensive, black-oil sunflower seeds used to feed birds.

The old kind of traps seem to work best — but only if you can outsmart the mice! Ha! Some of the new gray live traps that have a flap that closes when the mouse enters may work sometimes, but more often you will find the shells of the sunflower seeds outside on the floor and the flap closed, but no mice. Sometimes you wonder if they are smarter than the trapper is!

We have been fortunate in many years of not having a mouse in the house. But so far this year, we’ve had three playing hide-to-get with us. One was caught swimming frantically in a gallon-jar of water that we baited with peanut butter — it was strategically smeared inside the jar rim, far enough to make the critter stretch too far for his own good. Personally, I was surprised at how fast those mice can swim. Do mice enter the Olympics?

Now, the traps are still set, but nothing has taken the bait since , so we’ve got our fingers crossed at this point, hoping that the remaining mice have gone looking for greener pastures, or for warmer dens.

t was a record breaking turnout for the 18th annual Schroon Lake Fish and Game Club ice fishing derby March 6 - 7, with 567 people coming out to participate under warm sunny skies.

Unfortunately fishermen weren’t the only ones being warmed by the sun as the mercury tipped 50 degrees. Unseasonable ice conditions followed and the event was marked by a truck, Jeep and 4-wheeler plunging through the ice just south of the narrows.

Thankfully, no one was hurt and the competition continued.

When it was all said and done, Jeremiah Millington of Warrensburg had bragging rights with a nearly 20-pound northern he said he caught “somewhere on the lake.” The fish measured 43 inches.

Other first place fish included a 8.65 pound, 30-inch laker caught by Mike Winters of Gansevoort; a 2.63 pound, 20-inch landlock caught by Jerry Smith III of Schroon Lake; a 1.5 pound perch caught by David Disonell, Sr. of Hannacroix and a 4.2 pound, 26-inch pickerel caught by Richard Wagner of Avon, CT. The remaining contest winners included: • Northern Pike — Brian Hall of Bolton Landing, second place with 9.04 pounds and 33 inches. Third place went to Kevin Duntley of North Hudson with 8.11 pounds and 32 inches.

• Lake Trout — Second place went to Darrell Clark of Schroon Lake with 7.23 pounds and 28 3/4 inches and third place went to Nichole Plumstead of Schroon Lake with 7.13 pounds and 28 inches.

• Salmon — Second place went to Mike Flaherty of Round Top with 2.32 pounds and 19 inches and third place went to Cody Dunlavy of Queensbury with 2.10 pounds and 18 inches.

The Ice Auger raffle was won by Marline Powers and Jim Robbins of Schroon Lake. The Pack Basket and Sled raffle was won by Brad Bordeau of Moriah.

The Schroon Lake Class of 2012 50-50 raffle was won by Chris Meduri of Schroon Lake and the Fish and Game Club 50-50 raffle was won by Brandon Stuart of Townsend, MA. Club president Don Sage said the club would like to thank all the volunteers, donators, and contestants who contributed to making this a very successful and enjoyable weekend.

“We invite everyone back to next year's, the 19th derby, held on the first weekend of March, and bring your friends. Hope to see you all next year. Visit us online at www.schroonlakefishandgameclub.com,” he said.

Fur prices on the mend As a kid growing up in the Adirondacks, my mornings before school and my evenings after were consumed with the outdoors. I ran a rather extensive trapline for beaver, otter, mink and muskrat as well as land animals like fox and coyote. It served as a great deterrent to some of the mischief other kids were getting involved in and, at times, proved quite lucrative.

“The best thing about trapping is you’ll always have a buck in your pocket,” my uncle Ed used to say.

Unfortunately, those days became a thing of the past. Fur prices dropped so low, that I couldn’t justify taking the animal for what trappers were being paid. I was never in it for the money, but the fur prices were downright insulting.

It now appears that is changing. Fur prices are slowly climbing closer to what they were 20 years ago. Here is a glimpse at how much fur was selling for on average in February, according to the Fur Harvesters Association.

Jeremiah Millington of Warrensburg caught this Muskrat was the real high19.64 pound, 43-inch Northern Pike during the light, selling at an $8.50 average.

Schroon Lake Fishing Derby March 6-7. The big Beaver pelts landed at $21 each fish netted Millington first place in the pike catewith a high of $72 and a low of $14, while raccoon held ranges of gory.

Photo by John Gereau $13-$22 based on grading.

Coyote prices came in at the $30-$35 range — a 36 percent increase over last year — and eastern red fox rose noticeably above last season's levels to $31. Grey fox performed well, gaining buyer attention at $20 each.

Otter, one of the most poorly performing pelts over the past few seasons, returned to acceptable pricing at an average of $42. Fisher remained a popular item for buyers, with a typical fur selling at $62.

The leading characters in the cast of Warrensburg High School’s 2010 musical, Evita, take a break from a rehearsal to pose for a publicity photo.

WARRENSBURG — No less than 80 local high school students ranging from grades 7 through 12 are involved in the upcoming school drama production of the famed musical Evita.

The production is to be presented Thursday March 25 through Saturday 27 in the school auditorium. All shows are at 7 p.m.

The musical, which began as a rock opera and evolved into a musical in the late 1970s, was recast as a film in 1996 starring Madonna and Antonio Banderas.

The musical focuses on the life of Argentine political leader Eva Perón, the controversial second wife of Argentinian president Juan Perón and considered by many to be the

spiritual leader of the country. The story follows Evita's early life, acting career, rise to power, charity work, feminist involvement and eventual death. The music was penned

by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Warrensburg’s drama productions over the past decade or so, under the auspices of Warrensburg High School choral instructor Jim Corriveau, have been acclaimed regionally for their dramatic substance, athletic dancing, powerful singing and compelling scores.

For tickets show details, and reserved seats contact the high school at 623-2861 ext.

211. Admission for adults is $8 and for students and Seniors, $5.

Outreach From page 1 the economy was taking a big dive,” he said this week.

Posluszny said his agency depends on a network of volunteers, as well as donors, to augment his talented core staff.

“Our caregivers are very experienced, whether they’re giving tips on nurturing, sharing information or locating resources,” he said. “Our leaders have years of experience as parents and professionals.

Friday, visitors to the center could get a glimpse of the myriad services the agency provides.

While a group of volunteers were cleaning and sorting clothes, Barbara Massey was answering a steady stream of phone calls to arrange for services. Busy on a computer, Danielle Sprague was composing a checklist for mothers with newborns, relating to health and safety tips.

Then caseworker Caroline Sgorrano returned from a jaunt to a local bank, announcing with a smile that she and others had successfully helped a client qualify for Social Security Disability to which he was entitled.

Minutes later, a worker from a homeless shelter coalition arrived with instructional packets for household budgeting, to be distributed to the Outreach Center ’s clients — all while Sgorrano was conducting some quick research on a grant program.

“Some days you feel you are putting on a Band Aid when major surgery is needed,” Sgorrano said, looking at the pending work and listening to the ringing phones. “However, this is really rewarding work.”

Posluszny said the Outreach Center has served a tremendous number of people, but donations are needed to provide for the Outreach Center ’s mortgage and utilities so it can continue to serve families at risk.

About 100 volunteers are making agency resources go as far as possible, he said.

“This is great, but it presents a huge financial challenge,” he said. “We have a far larger workload with the economy as it’s been, but we have the same staff to address the needs.”

Posluszny said the rebound in the economy has been sluggish and hasn’t yet lifted the fortunes of the working class in the North Country.

“We’re seeing people who have never before asked for help on food and utilities, and they’re horribly embarrassed,“ he said. “I’ve seen quite a number of hardworking middle-class and upper middle-class people who are now out of work.

Also, I’ve seen people living on not enough money to survive, and they’ve been turned down for food stamps. We know of a woman in her 70s working at minimum wage.”

WCS Girls basketball teams show improvement

Most Improved for Junior Varsity went to 10th grader Montana Sheridan, and the “Bench Buster” award for playing strong during substitutions,went to Brittany Tschirhart.

The “Iron Woman” Sportsmanship Award went to ninth grader Chiarra Russo — she didn’t miss a single practice — and the Rookies of the Year awards were presented to Kerrigan Ross and Mika Morehouse.

Bump said all the players showed considerable character this season.

“I’m so proud of the girls in their drive and dedication to improve,” she said.

WARRENSBURG — The local high school’s Girls Varsity Basketball Team displayed a lot of determination this year in boosting their performance dramatically during a season with few wins, their coach said during a school sports awards ceremony held March 4.

He said the Warrensburg Central girls demonstrated their grit and guts when they ramped up their level of playing despite ongoing losses.

Through the first eight games, their losses were by an average of 33 points, but by the final five games, that margin shrank to six points or less. The team’s record was 3-15 overall during the 2009-10 season.

“The players dramatically improved their individual Modified squad shooting, post moves and ball handling,” Smith said. “They boosts level of play are now playing more as a Warrensburg’s 2009-10 Modteam.” ified Basketball Team also Smith said the younger playshowed their character, Coach ers are now enthusiastic about Christene Baker said, as they practicing during the off-sea- Warrensburg High School’s Junior Varsity Girls Basketball players line up to receive certificates and trophies during an battled the constrictions of low son. awards presentation held March 11. numbers and worked hard to “I’m excited about the enPhoto by Thom Randall build skills. thusiasm of the young kids She said they showed rewe’re bringing back,” Smith markable improvement from 80 points in only five games. said. “We hope they follow through with their off-season plans.” mid-season on, beginning abruptly with the game against Argyle.

WCS basketball players praised as good role models

“This win was quite a punctuation mark to end the season,” he said.

Reynolds said that with some intensive practice on boxing out more effectively and more movement on the court, the players will reach their full potential, he said.

Reynolds presented the Most Improved Offense award to Sophomore Tyler Williams.

“When Tyler sets his mind to it, he’s a human dynamo,” he said.

Most Improved on Defense award went to sophomore Cory Chadwell.

Reynolds said he routinely assigned Cory to the toughest guy to guard in the low post.

“In the future, Cory will be a force down low,” he said.

The Sportsmanship Award went to Sophomore Brandon Combs, who Rex said had a positive attitude and strong team spirit.

WARRENSBURG — The local high school’s male basketball players have a lot of heart despite enduring seasons that may not have reached their expectations, team coaches said March 11 at an awards dinner held at the school.

“You are the best role models,” coach Rich Schloss said to his varsity boys basketball team, lined up on stage to receive trophies or certificates.

“From an athletic standpoint, this was the best group I’ve ever coached.”

The Warrensburg High School Boys Basketball team finished off the 2009-10 season with a 10-9 record that didn’t necessarily reflect the talent on the team, he said.
