Thurman mulls EMS contract with Wbg

This Week ELIZABETHTOWN

IN LAKE GEORGE

By Thom Randall

Community to honor Warriors

thom@denpubs.com ATHOL — Faced with questions of the viability of their local ambulance squad, the Thurman Town Board is now considering signing a two-year, $80,000 contract with the Warrensburg ambulance squad to provide emergency medical services to Thurman residents. A public hearing on the proposal is to be held at 6:30 p.m. Monday April 8 in the Thurman Town Hall.

The contract consideration follows recent outcry from members of Thurman Emergency Medical Services — and some town citizens — who believe the locally based squad can provide quicker and more neighborly response.

Four of the five Thurman Town Board members, however, have contended over several months that the Warrensburg Squad has the financial and personnel resources — and the advanced training — to presently provide the best service.

They’ve also expressed concerns over whether the CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Lake George’s John Herzog, former president of the local seniors' club, talks at a Lake George Village zoning forum March 25 about how changes in the existing ordinances are likely to boost local prosperity. In addition to stringent architectural guidelines for new buildings and renovations, the proposed zoning changes would allow buildings on some parcels downtown to be up to 72 feet high, exceeding the existing 3-story limit.

Zoning debate continues in Lake George

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — A proposal to increase the height of buildings in Lake George Village as tall as six stories may have sparked controversy for months, but only several dozen attended a pub-

lic zoning forum Monday March 25.

Regardless of the limited attendance, the dissension may not fade away, however.

Several people attending did object to the height extension initiative, which is included as part of an array of pending zoning changes now under consideration by the Lake George Village Board.

With an eye on boosting local prosperity, the Village Board of Trustees has proposed to allow buildings in particular commercial zones on and near Canada St. to be as tall as 72 feet high.

The board has also endorsed strict design guidelines with a goal of improving the commercial zone aesthetically.

owners attending a second organizational meeting — and village officials pledging to appoint a BID steering committee.

A large percentage of attendees at both meetings expressed interest in establishing such a municipal entity, according to Anthony Capese, Executive Director of the Central Avenue

BID in Albany who conducted a discussion on the formation and benefits of a Business Improvement District. Capese has also led the BID in Canandaigua, a lakeside community in western New York similar to Lake George Village.

As an outcome of the event, several business proprietors agreed to

serve on a steering committee to form the BID. A variety of questions were raised about the costs of funding the organization, as well as its interaction with local government, Capese said Tuesday April 2.

On the third Sunday of each month, the Warrensburg Free Methodist Church is hosting a series of concerts featuring Christian artists.

The sessions, held at 3 p.m., are sponsored by radio station WGNA and have been well-received by the public so far, Pastor Nancy Barrow said this week.

“We’ve had regional Christian artists from as far away as Albany performing,” she said, noting the groups represent all styles of Christian music, including rural gospel, country, inspirational ballads and contemporary gospel.

“They’ve all been incredible.”

The next concert, set for 3 p.m. April 21, features Cheri Taylor.

The concerts are free of charge, but a “love offering” is taken to help offset the artists’ travel expenses, Barrow said, adding that children are welcome at the concerts.

For details, contact Barrow at 793-3020. Note that on April 27, the church is conducting a bake sale at Curtis Lumber on River St. To occur between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., the proceeds will help fund activities of the church’s youth group.

Warrensburg Alumni Assoc. news

The Warrensburg Bicentennial Committee is continuing to plan Warrensburg Day, a community celebration to observe the town’s 200th year.

The event, to be held July 4 at the town recreation field, will be preceded by a gala parade.

Officers of the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce, helping organize the festivities, are expecting a fun-filled old fashioned gathering.

The parade will feature various community groups, musical ensembles, sports teams and service organization.

The Warrensburg Alumni Association is now preparing for its annual reunion, scheduled for Aug. 3 at Roaring Brook Ranch.

This year, the reunion will spotlight on the Warrensburg High School Class of 1963, to be honored for its 50th year since commencement.

All those graduating from Warrensburg Central over the years are welcome to attend the local Alumni Association meetings. For details, call Alice Damp at 623-3618.

Dance film, performance set SARATOGA SPRINGS — A documentary film that depicts a modern dance troupe consisting of imprisoned men in upstate New York is to be screened at 2 p.m. April 7 in the National Museum of Dance’s Swyer Studio in Saratoga Springs.

The film, “A Reflection of Our Lives Through Dance” documents the lives and art of the members of “Figures in Flight 5” troupe at Woodbourne Correctional Facility.

After the film, five men from Figures in Flight Released will perform live, followed by a discussion led by Director Andre Noel regarding this program and the dancers’ contribution to society.

Figures in Flight founder and choreographer Susan Slotnick and assistant Bethany Wooten developed the program at Woodbourne, the only one of its kind in a men’s prison nationwide. There have been five Figures in Flight companies since 1999, all of which have carried the mission to celebrate diversity and tolerance.

The film screening is a free educational program of the National Museum of Dance. Donations — and reservations — are appreciated. The National Museum of Dance is located at 99 South Broadway in Saratoga Springs. For details, see: www.dancemuseum.org or call 584-2225.

After the procession, activities including game for children commence at the recreation field.

A box lunch auction, a traditional rural activity, is among the featured events. The auction entails women preparing a lunch and men bidding to share the meal.

Also, a mustache contest is planned, so men are urged to start growing facial hair now so they can compete.

For details, contact Lynn Smith by leaving a message at 623-2161 or Town Clerk Donna Combs at 623-4561.

The Warrensburg Free Methodist Church is now offering Zumba Gold classes on Tuesdays and Fridays from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the church’s Fellowship Hall.

Zumba Gold features more leisurely routines than standard zumba. Although aimed for those 50 and older, all ages are welcome to attend, even on a drop-in basis, according to pastor Nancy Barrow.

Leading the sessions — open to the public — is Anna Hay of Schroon Lake, a certified zumba instructor.

A charge of $5 per session fee helps offset instructional costs. The church is located at 250 River St. For details, call Pastor Nancy Barrow at 793-3020.

LAKE GEORGE — The Lake George High School Warriors are the newly crowned New York State high school boys basketball champions — and area citizens are as proud as can be.

They’re proud that this talented team not only won the school’s first boys sport championship ever, but the first state boys basketball championship for Section II, north of Schuylerville, since the late 1970s.

On Tuesday, April 9, Warrior fans will be expressing this pride by participating in a mini-ticker-tape parade.

The procession honoring the team’s achievement is to start at 5 p.m. at the Lake George firehouse and proceed north up Canada St. The basketball team, school coaches, cheerleaders and school drum corps as well as the Lake George Community Band will be accompanied by the Lake George Fire Department and their vehicles in the procession down Canada St. Along the parade route, the team is to be showered with confetti tossed from several ladder fire trucks representing three area fire companies.

When the team and their retinue reach the high school several blocks away, Lake George High School Athletic Director Mark Bleibtey is to award plaques and certificates to the players inside the gym. The team’s coach, Dave Jones, is to talk about the team’s attributes and accomplishments, followed by the team engaging in a ceremony of

North Warren’s Tri-Lakes Alliance to celebrate success at wine-tasting social

Price Chopper tax break OK’d

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — A wine-tasting social — a fundraiser for a leading upcounty community group — is to be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 16 at The Bullhouse restaurant and tavern in Chestertown.

All are welcome to attend the event, which is in part to celebrate the recent success of the community events organized by the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance.

The social features wines donated by local vendors and hors d’oeuvres including cheeses by the famed Oscar ’s Smoke House. Entertainment features singer-songwriter Rich Ortiz. A $20 donation will be collected at the door.

Since its inception a little over a year ago, The Tri-Lakes Business Alliance has launched various successful, wellattended events, including the Brant Lake Winter Carnival, the Townwide Garage Sale, Taste of the Tri-Lakes food festival, the Chestertown St. Patrick’s Day Parade, as well as the weekly Chestertown Farmer ’s Market and sev-

LAKE GEORGE — The proposed Price Chopper plaza development near I-87 Northway Exit 23 will be getting a tax break, but for only two-thirds of the time the project sponsors had asked for.

Price Chopper and its developers will be saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in the deal, approved last week by the Warren-Washington Counties Industrial Development Agency.

The development was granted a 10-year payment in lieu of taxes rather than the 15-year deal the developers had requested.

The agreement grants the project a 75 percent tax exemption on assessed valuation of any improvements made to the property for the first four years, a 50 percent tax exemption on improvements for the next three years and a 25 percent tax exemption for improvements for the final three years of the deal.

The Price Chopper application was seeking a 100 percent tax break on improvements for the first five years, a 50 percent exemption on the following five years and 25 percent off on the last five years.

Lake George Town Board members had objected to the longer exemption, saying it was too long and too deep, shifting a burden onto other taxpayers. Local officials also said such PILOT agreements were meant for industrial projects that created good-paying jobs, not retail developments.

IDA Chairman Bud Taylor of Glens Falls said he was pleased with his board’s decision.

“While 15 years is really too much for that type of project, 10 years is a reasonable compromise,” he said. “It’s a really good project.”

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor: In reference to William Dow’s recent letter advocating casinos in Lake George, I do not believe the rosy picture presented by Mr. Dow. I have read a variety of studies and attended meetings regarding the effects gambling has on communities. I have learned that the hoped-for financial benefits of hosting casinos seldom accrue to the host towns and villages. One reason cited is that most casinos operate with a captive audience, who stay on the premises to eat, sleep, shop and gamble, without encouraging them to circulate in the

host municipality to spend money.

Other negatives cited are that casinos attract certain the undesirable types, spur crime and cater to compulsive gamblers — a heart-rending problem.

Two years ago I was in Las Vegas to visit relatives, and the glitz and the crowds of the casinos did not seem to help the neighborhoods on the periphery of that famous strip.

There were hundreds of For Sale and Bankruptcy signs, and I’ve since read that there are a number of casinos in financial trouble and are restructuring or closing.

A reference in the letter to the editor about the “Adirondack style” casino that would be built is somewhat a joke. Will we see some more pastel-colored faux stone facade like on the local Rite Aid building — their sad at-

tempt to blend in with our Adirondack heritage?

I also wonder about the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino, which has exclusive rights to a casino in the Adirondacks. It’s been said that they might have breached their contract and so could lose their exclusive right to conduct gambling. The casino advocates are ready to pounce even before this is determined. — Not as if there is anything in our history about being fair to the Indians!

ago the village had the chance to do something really important: tap into the fascinating history and the lore of the area — like Colonial Williamsburg has done — and offer a tourist attraction that had meaning and relevance to this area. Think French Indian War, Revolution, Early Adirondack Settlers, Victorian Age of the Lake, etc.

Instead, they went the Coney Island route and now want the gambling image. Not for this taxpayer!

Rough road video a winner

T

own of Newcomb officials are cautiously optimistic that their attempt to shame New York state into fixing Route 28N earlier than planned has succeeded in getting the Department of Transportation’s attention.

And we are, too.

A day after Newcomb Planning Board member Paul Hai released a YouTube video highlighting the poor condition of Route 28N on Thursday, March 28, DOT Director of Communications Beau Duffy released an official statement: “Route 28N is a critical part of the North Country’s infrastructure that is in need of repair. Ensuring that the road is well maintained is critically important to our efforts to increase tourism to the area and showcase the jewel that is the Adirondack Park. More importantly, however, local residents simply should not have to put up with substandard and potentially dangerous road conditions.

At the direction of Governor Cuomo and Commissioner McDonald, repairs to 28N will take place on an expedited basis, commencing in the coming weeks.”

Wow. The little town of Newcomb — population 436 in the most remote section of the state — stood up to the goliaths in Albany and won.

Newcomb Town Supervisor George Canon was supposed to meet with DOT officials in May about repairing State Route 28N. But after the video was released in the media — on the Facebook page of the News Enterprise, the Times Union’s Capital Confidential blog, and other websites — Canon received a phone call from the DOT to expedite the meeting, which took place Tuesday afternoon, April 2, at Canon’s office.

DOT Region 1 (Capital District) Acting Regional Director Sam Zhou had to drive on Route 28N to get to the Newcomb Town Hall. We hope he also drove to Long Lake, where the worst section is located.

Newcomb officials initiated a letterwriting campaign but received a reply that was less than helpful: “Only 1.5 miles of Route 28N meet the criteria for a major rehab project.”

That prompted a response from Paul Hai in the video: “Which 1.5 miles do you suppose it is?”

After all, the DOT has signs on Route

April 6, 2013

28N stating “Rough Road” for 13 miles.

So is it 1.5 miles or 13 miles?

The letter-writing campaign wasn’t enough to move the DOT into fixing Route 28N, which hasn’t been reconstructed since 1979 (gas prices at 90 cents/gallon).

But one quirky, clever and direct video — with 6:42 minutes of interviews, information and slapstick — won the day, thanks to attention from traditional and social media.

We think Newcomb framed the argument correctly. Hai interviewed motorists in Long Lake, highway officials, and the town supervisors in Newcomb and Long Lake. Aside from the obvious safety issues and damage to vehicles, Hai reminded viewers that the state of New York is spending millions of dollars buying 69,000 acres of former Finch, Pruyn land to add it to the Forest Preserve. And much of that land — particularly around the Boreas Ponds — is located in Newcomb.

In the video, Long Lake Supervisor Clark Seaman said people may not return to Newcomb once seeing the newly acquired lands. Canon said people may just stay away completely.

“There’s other places to go,” Canon said. “And if you’ve got a choice, you’re not going to bang your car all to pieces, so I’m hoping that the governor understands that this is a big deal for us.”

We do, too.

Newcomb is on the front lines of the Forest Preserve experiment in the Adirondack Park. Residents have been promised publicly — by Gov. Andrew Cuomo — that the Finch, Pruyn land deal will help the local economy.

Supervisors from five towns — Long Lake, Newcomb, North Hudson, Minerva and Indian Lake — have been meeting with state officials to figure out how the towns can benefit from those purchases.

State leaders need to realize that they can’t just buy chunks of land and expect tourists to easily flock to these remote corners of the Park; the purchase comes with an obligation to assure access.

And access means a complete reconstruction of State Route 28N. Talk is cheap. What Newcomb needs is action.

And they need it now.

Sadly, it didn’t happen overnight, but over a period of time through strife and turmoil America grew to be known as the land of opportunity where freedom reined and personal beliefs were to be respected.

Anyone had a shot to make it if they had fearless perseverance, conviction of beliefs and a willingness to work hard. Throughout our history, we’ve many examples of individuals that changed the course of the nation as a result of their willingness to stand up and be counted, many times going against popular opinion.

One would think that we would have learned from mistakes of the past. One would hope that only through constructive and open discussion of the issues, we could as a nation address the issues of the day in a manner that intelligently seeks to resolve any differences and reach a common ground.

Today’s hot button topics are many: immigration, gun control, same sex marriage, health care, war, religion, energy, the economy, women’s rights, education, environment, unions and big business. But there are many more.

It would be nice to think in this great communication age that tolerance and respect for the right to express one’s personal views would be paramount. But instead of encouraging open debate and discussion, we’ve continued down a prejudicial path.

When all else fails, we resort to demonizing the messenger. I can understand a certain amount of trash talk among friends discussing sports, truck brands or burger choices, but on important issues in our nation’s most prestigious schools I would hope those institutions would be open minded and inquisitive.

Dr. Benjamin Carson, a pediatric neurosurgeon who came into the national spotlight in February after criticizing health care and other policies of President Barack Obama at the National Prayer Breakfast, has been asked to step down as the com-

mencement speaker at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine only after making recent comments on Dan Alexander same sex marThoughts from riage.

Behind the Pressline His comments were based on his personal beliefs. Carson stated, “My thoughts are that marriage is between a man and a woman. It’s a well-established, fundamental pillar of society and no group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality — it doesn’t matter what they are — they don’t get to change the definition.”

One of the petitions stated: “We retain the highest respect for Dr. Carson’s achievements and value his right to publicly voice political views. Nevertheless, we feel that these expressed values are incongruous with the values of Johns Hopkins and deeply offensive to a large proportion of our student body.”

In his public apology in the Baltimore Sun, Carson stated, “First of all, I certainly believe gay people should have all the rights that anybody else has. What I was basically saying is that as far as marriage is concerned, that has traditionally been between a man and a woman and nobody should be able to change that.”

With respect to the commencement, he said, “I would say this is their day, and the last thing I would want to do is rain on their parade.”

As a nation we must be open to tolerance and trying to understand both sides of the issues to reach a compromise. Each side of every issue has valid arguments, but if neither side is willing to acknowledge and address those arguments, we will only prolong the anguish, anger and divisiveness these issues create in our democratic society. The world will always be full of people with different views. As a human race, we apparently still have a long way to go in learning how to constructively deal with our differences and provide true freedom of speech.

April 6, 2013

A grand house steeped in history John G. Smith was born in 1849 in Canada and came to town after the Civil War. An enterprising and ambitious man, he later brought electricity to Warrensburgh, an unbelievable invention in the days at the turn of the twentieth century. When his friend Lewis Thomson had his own new house finished by 1906 — today the Cornerstone Victorian Bed & Breakfast on upper Main St. — Smith completely wired the house personally for electricity and installed the fixtures.

On the night the job was complete, every light in the 27-room house was turned on and a crowd of citizens gathered outside to view the brilliant spectacle. Electricity was a breathtaking new marvel then in the “modern” world.

Smith was so in awe of Thomson’s mansion that it became his life ambition to have a house of his dreams for his own.

With love and care, he built his fine home on the corner of Hudson St. and Woodward Avenue and he and his wife Kate Smith moved in near the end of February, 1913 and she died the next year.

John G. Smith died Jan. 27, 1928. His complete story was told in this column in the March 30, 2013 Adirondack Journal. Over the years, the house at 63 Hudson Street has acquired more history than one volume could ever hold.

Smith’s house lives on Charles E. Lavery, a subsequent owner of the house, was born in Igerna on May 10, 1862. He was brought up on a farm and did not leave home until he was 22. In 1882 and 1883 he attended the Glens Falls Academy and later taught in public schools. Afterwards, he became a lumber speculator in the long-gone hamlet of Griffin — near Wells, NY —with his father John Lavery, a job which lasted 5 years. In 1890 he worked during winters as a bookkeeper for the tannery of Rice, Emery & Co. also in Griffin. For the next few years he was in the grocery store business.

On April 17, 1884 he married Miss Carrie

Beebe of Glens Falls. They had one daughter, Bertha Lavery who, in 1915 was known to drive around Warrensburgh in her new Saxon Runabout automobile.

On March 1, 1899 at the age of 37, Charles Lavery moved to Warrensburgh and bought a grocery store from Halsey Herrick at the foot of Elm Street Hill, opposite the Osborne bridge. In the old days that hill was called Paddy Hill, then Osborne Hill, and later called Lavery Hill. The store stood on the lot, now vacant, across from James Sturdevan’s Bakery — in recent decades known as Riverside Gallery.

He successfully ran the store for many years, but after his wife died he sold the store to L.A. Mosher and moved to Granville to live with his daughter and granddaughter. A few years later, he moved back to Warrensburgh and married Jessie Smith, a member of John G. Smith’s family. They lived in the house that Smith built at 63 Hudson St.

Lavery went home to God Charles Lavery was a long-time member and trustee of the Warrensburgh Methodist Church and as he had a fine singing voice, he sang in the choir. On Sunday morning, Aug. 23, 1942, he was said to have been in “good spirits” as he went to the choir loft to sing for the upcoming service. He and Mrs. Murray G. Crannell planned to sing the hymn, “In the Bright Land,” a difficult duet.

The lady later said that she had never heard him sing as well as he did that morning.

Halfway through he began to perspire and than his body started shaking. When he finished the high last notes of the hymn “Glory Be to the Father,” Mrs. Crannell put her arm around him, fanned him with her choir book and lowered him into a chair. It is believed that he was dead before he sat down.

Heaven surely must have heard him coming, singing the Lord’s praises. A shaken Rev. Frank R. Cubit pronounced the Benediction, halted the service and dismissed the congregation.

Warrensburgh undertaker Berry W. Woodward came to remove Lavery’s body to his funeral parlor and later in the day he was

by Kathy Templeton 623-2967 feidenk33@yahoo.com In an effort to continue their vital service to the community, Thurman Emergency Medical Services has been busy recently raising funds — and they have two events planned for the near future.

The public is urged to attend one or both of the following events: • A car wash from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday April 6 at the Thurman EMS station on High St.. Hot dogs and other food and refreshments will be available for purchase while waiting for your car to be prepared for spring.

•“Keep the Heart Beat Going,” a meal in loving memory of Jamie Haskell and Rachel Daley. The event entails a spaghetti dinner on April 19 at the Thurman EMS headquarters on High St., and the fun starts at 6 p.m. Tickets are $7 for adults, $3 for children 5 through 12, and free for those under 5 years.

Colorful eggs have long history My son asked a curious question while we were dying our eggs for Easter: “ Why do we color eggs for Easter?” Hearing this inquiry, I delved into the Internet to research this topic. I learned that many cultures throughout the world have historically traded dyed eggs because they believed

Free prom dresses available CHESTERTOWN — A day of free special occasion shopping for ladies young and older will take place on April 13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Chester Town Hall, Route 9.

Free shoes, clutches, dresses and gowns for prom, dances, graduation, plays or any occasion in sizes 0 through 26 will be available. The dresses were donated by “Loaves and Fishes” based out of Union Beach, N.J. There will also be door prizes and refreshments.

Museum works on cookbook NORTH CREEK — The North Creek Depot Museum is putting the finishing touches on its first 2013 fundraiser, a new North Country Cookbook.

The cookbook not only features Teddy Roosevelt's favorite recipes, but hardy meals from yesteryear in the great

Burton was the next owner I lived in Lake George during winter 1957 and it was a total ghost town there at night.

One light always shining in the darkness was at the Sky Harbor Restaurant, on the north corner of Canada St. and Beach Road, which was run by “Mac” McGowan. On occasional evenings I’d sit there and talk with Douglas Burton, a quiet man who was knowledgeable and a fine conversationalist.

Doug was born in Lake George Nov. 3, 1906 and graduated from Glens Falls High School in 1926. He was a wealthy, well known and a respected businessman. He and his brother Harmel T. Burton owned The Antlers hotel on the Rte. 9N, the Marine Village motel in Lake George, Hotel Madden in Glens Falls and the Burton Equipment south on Rte. 9. At one time Doug was a director of the First National Bank of Lake George, vicepresident of Lake George Marine Industries and an active member of the Lake George Chamber of Commerce.

Florida enterprise In 1956 the brothers had purchased the Marlin Beach Hotel at Fort Lauderdale Beach, Fla. I heard it was a real money pit.

Doug felt that he needed to liquidate his holdings here and possibly move to Florida to make a success of the big Marlin Beach project. He said it saddened him greatly that he would have to sell his Warrensburg home, the Smith house at 63 Hudson St. in order to move on as his wife loved the house dearly and was happy there.

I moved to Warrensburgh in spring 1957 and I never saw Doug again. I later read that he and his brother had liquidated their Florida property, but he had not sold his wife’s house after all. In March, 1965 he and Mrs. Burton had been vacationing for a month at Deerfield Beach, Fla. and the day before they were to return home Douglas C. Burton, 58,

they symbolized rebirth. Then, the dyed eggs became connected with Christianity, representing the "rebirth of man.”

So in the middle ages, these eggs were featured at Easter, celebrating Jesus’ resurrection, offering mankind a "rebirth" — eggs were dyed and decorated to enhance the significance of the holiday.

Such interesting facts may come to us in our early years or later in life — but knowledge is key to our ever-growing minds and appreciation of life and culture!

Corner Gallery show NORTH CREEK — The Corner

Gallery in the Town of Johnsburg Public Library is proud to announce a new exhibit, the Johnsburg Central School Art Show.

This is the work of students from grades 1 through 12 who are taught by Maria Glode. The media used by the students is immensely varied, everything from paints to clay to popsicle sticks. It's amazing to see what these kids, even in the first and second grades, are able to produce.

The show will be on display only for the month of April. The library is located at 219 Main Street, North Creek.

Hours are Wednesday, 11-5; Thursday, 11-7; Friday, 11-5; and Saturday, 10-2.

The library is always getting in new books and DVDs, so come in and see this colorful and fun exhibit and browse the collection. Call 251-4343 for information on upcoming programs.

died of a heart attack.

Doug’s body was brought north to Warrensburg, accompanied by his wife and brother Harmel Burton, who had been vacationing at Pompano Beach at the time. He had a son, Steven Burton. I know no more of his family’s history. He was most likely buried in Lake George.

Time marches on Donald Brooks Stone was born in 1922 in Warrensburgh. His father and mother, Rexford and Mary Stone, owned the property where Sitting Bull Dude Ranch operated near the Thurman bridge. He went to school in Warrensburg at the same time as my late husband Merv Hadden, and Don used to visit us often. A cheerful, down-to-earth man, I was always glad to see him. His daughter Sandra LaFond today lives on Milton Avenue and his son, Donald B. Stone Jr. lives in town.

Don had a big family and his brother, C. Walton “Buck” Stone was chief of the Warrensburg Volunteer Fire Co.. Don owned Stone’s Gulf Station on the corner of Main St. and Mountain Avenue, where TD Bank stands now, and he owned a truck stop north of Warrensburg which he leased to Martha "Tyke'" Duell, a building that was later enlarged substantially to become the North Gateway Restaurant.

A labor of love Donald Stone bought the Smith house at 46 Hudson St. and one day he took me on a tour. I remember looking down at the grand winding staircase with its vaulted ceiling overhead and Don saying, “I do all the work here. I start painting in one area and by the time I work my way around the house back to where I started, it is time to do it all over again.”

Donald Brooks Stone died Feb. 3, 1977 and his funeral service, like those of the various owners who had died before him, was held in the house he loved. He is buried in the Warrensburg Cemetery.

In next week’s Journal I will tell readers of the recent stewardship of the house at 46 Hudson St., a destiny which surely would have pleased original owner John G. Smith.

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

Upswing in revenue stabilizes taxes in Lake George LAKE GEORGE — Despite increases in several key expenses, property taxes in the Village of Lake George are to remain stable, according to the municipality’s preliminary 2013-14 budget proposed this week by Mayor Robert Blais.

The spending plan, which extends from June 1 to May 31, calls for $1,311,900 to be raised by taxes compared to $1,311,883 the previous year, an increase of $17. The proposed budget will be voted on following a public hearing at 6 p.m. Monday April 8.

While costs of employee benefits continued to rise in village government, increases in municipal revenues are expected to offset the hike.

The total General Fund appropriations rose from $4,072,732 to $4,250,660, but are accommodated by a substantial increase in revenues of $2,693,760. While increases in employee benefits continued to rise, the Village reduced their health insurance premiums by changing providers and receiving a slight increase in employee contributions. Employee benefits, the largest single line item, declined this year from $670,300 to $639,857.

The tax rate per thousand has decreased from $8.48 to $6.04 due to a reevaluation of local property assessments. As a result, some residents may experience a decrease in their tax bills as the Village’s total assessment rose to $216,961,675.

The Village’s bond debt increased from $624,750 to $681,681, due largely to over $1.8 million in improvements planned for the Shepard Park Pump Station.

However, the Village’s credit rating has been increased to A+, affording a lower interest rate for debt. Blais said the boosted rating reflects village Clerk-Treasurer Darlene Gunther ’s “intelligent use of Village funds and accounting practices.”

The proposed budget grants village employees a 50 cents

per hour raise or approximately 2.5 percent increase overall.

Department heads are scheduled to receive a flat $2,000 per year increase. No raises are appropriated for the elected officials.

Support for Village special events has also increased with over $147,000 earmarked to benefit local groups and events such as the Lake George Arts Project and their annual jazz festival, Lake George Community Band, Lake George Winter Carnival and weekly fireworks. Funds have been included to support a new major event, Save Our Lake Festival, scheduled for fall.

The Village has also allocated over $30,000 in its preliminary budget to fight invasive species — and Blais expects that revenue from the lake fest may double that sum. A business marketing study and a sheriff ’s office foot patrol are also included in the budget as well.

Mayor Blais credited strong revenues as the major factor in holding the line on property taxes. These major revenues include: sales tax, $525,000; parking meters, $590,000; property rentals, $64,500; and fines, $138,000.

Blais said it was remarkable that well over 50 percent of the budget was supported by outside revenue, paid primarily by visitors.

On the other hand, visitors are offered a variety of free attractions and events, including weekly fireworks during summer, nightly concerts and shows in Shepard Park, Blais said.

“The services necessary to operate a successful resort community are paid for substantially by our visitors,” he said in a prepared statement.

The Village’s water fund, raised separately in quarterly billings to users also shows no increase for 2013-2014 with the proposed expenditures of $864,300, reduced $2,000 from the previous year.

Sen. Little lobbying for tax relief ALBANY — State Sen. Betty Little has joined her colleagues in proposing the 2013 Family Tax Relief Act. The plan would increase existing child tax credits and the state’s dependent exemption for income taxes, as well as restore funding for the STAR rebate check.

A family earning $55,000 with two children would see their state income taxes reduced about $1,000. A single parent with one child and an income of $45,000 annually would see tax savings of over $800 under the Senate plan.

Little said the plan is being forwarded to the state Assembly and the governor, while negotiations continue on the state budget The Senate Republican plan would increase the dependent exemption from $1,000 to $2,020. The exemption was last increased in 1987. Their plan also would increase the dependent care credit, last increased in 1999, and raise the maximum child tax credit from $330 to $375 to adjust for inflation.

Additional relief would be provided by restoring $1.3 billion for the supplemental STAR Rebate Check Program, which was eliminated in 2009.

No major capital expenditures are planned for 2013-2014 except the improvements to the water treatment plant. Three new public docks will be installed with grants covering 50 percent of the total cost, estimated to be $170,000.

“Our Village employees continue to cooperate with us on flexible summer hours, saving thousands in overtime costs,” Blais said. “Our departments work together to accomplish major construction projects and our excellent sharing of services with the Town of Lake George all contributed to another great year financially.”

The Look

The Details

The bride wore a gown from Jacqueline’s Bridal in Glens Falls. The bridesmaids’ gowns were from Danielle’s Bridal in Saratoga Springs. Hair was done by a friend, Humal Noon. The groom and groomsmen wore tuxedos from Jonathon Reid in Queensbury. The rings came from Glennpeter Jewelers in Saratoga Springs. The flowers/bouquet were designed by family friend Tammy Grimaldi. They were beautiful fall bouquets of circus roses, sunflowers, and other flowers with a colorful mix of oranges, yellows, and reds.

The day was captured on film by Jen and Adam Spinelli from “Jennifer Spinelli Photography.” All guests got a recipe for “Spike hot apple cider” with a small bottle of cinnamon flavored liquor and a hot apple cider packet with fall colored Hershey kisses. They had a country, outdoorsy theme to the wedding. The “guest book” was a piece of tree that had the “M+K” heart carved in the center. Everyone signed around it.

Zoning debate

ing steering committee, and Neubauer asked how the Lake George Steamboat property on Beach Road and the Fort William Henry property were added since the last public meeting.

“What would preclude anyone else from being added at this point?” she asked Blais responded that the owners of the two enterprises, Bill Dow and Bob Flacke respectively, had called him recently and asked for the liberalized six-story height.

He continued that the Adirondack Park Agency will still be reviewing every project over three stories maximum anyway.

Susan Millington, owner of a small office next to Giuseppe’s said the public should be shown architectural renderings of the building. Blais responded that it would be a waste of a developer ’s money to draft such plans before the zoning changes were in place.

“I want to make sure the plans for the hotel go before the appropriate boards so everyone remains in the process,” she said.

Blais assured her that there would be no short-cuts.

“The planning board has a lot of expertise and I have a lot of confidence in them,” he said.

Millington and Robert Rastelli, owner of the Pancake House, also asked why only five particular parcels were selected for the six-story maximum — and his plot was bypassed. Blais responded that the chosen lots were the only ones where six-story buildings wouldn’t substantially obstruct views — and had adequate parking as well.

Buildings of up to six floors or a maximum of 72 feet high to be permitted from Mountain Drive south to McGillis Avenue on the west side of Canada St. as well as the two aforementioned properties. All other areas on the west side of Canada Street are to have height restrictions raised to 45 feet or four stories from the present three — throughout the commercial resort and commercial mixed-use zones.

The design restrictions call for more green space, additional setbacks and improved architectural elements on both new buildings and extensive renovations.

Aesthetic requirements include include allowing only earth-tone and historic colors, mandating that doorways be recessed, and that windows be appropriately spaced and sized and that architecture be authentic and in harmony with other existing buildings.

Design standards would include prohibiting long, flat, blank walls and rooflines, and calling for the use of dormers, parapets, stepped roofs, balconies, cornices, plus wall offsets and recesses to create visual appeal.

Resident John Herzog said he approved of changes that would boost the local economy.

“We have to do something to get industry motivated,” he said.

Although Mayor Blais said the board members had not made any decisions, each council member said they were in favor of the changes.

Village Board member John Root said he supported the height increase, although the proposed six-story hotel would block the view from his home.

“If I want a view of the lake, I can always walk down the street and see what I want,” he said, adding that the height extension was needed to boost prosperity and prevent insolvency of the school district.

Councilman John Earl also endorsed the plan, and said that growing upward was what the APA was encouraging,

The initiative of building height extension was primarily prompted last year by area developer Dave Kenny’s proposal to build a multi-story chain hotel on the property where Giuseppe’s Pizza and Restaurant exist. Blais has since said that several other prospective developers have also inquired about similar large-scale developments.

At the forum, several local citizens questioned the impact of six-story buildings on the character of the town, and whether they’d obstruct the views of the lake. Questions were also raised on why particular properties were chosen for such relaxation of height restrictions, and neighboring ones weren’t.

Heather Engwer, who grew up in Lake George, said six stories was far too tall, out of character with the village, and would block views. She added that such upward development wasn’t needed in the village.

Town Board member Marisa Muratori, a village resident, asked if viewsheds were thoroughly evaluated.

Village Mayor Robert Blais replied that board members had walked the streets behind Canada Street and weighed the impact of six story structures, and drafted the proposal to choose particular zones based on their findings.

Local resident Barbara Neubauer and Jan Loonan asked why the particular properties were chosen by the board for six stories and others weren’t. Loonan asked why the property selection didn’t match earlier plans drafted by the zon-

The T he Tannery Tannery - Chestertown Chester town

Tanneries T Ta nnererriei s an nn andd mi mmills llls we werere a ccommon ommmoon sisigh sight ghtt in vvillages gh illlalage illa g s an ge and nd ha haml hamlets mletetss off tthe he N North orththt or Country in the early nineteenth century. In 1849 Alexander Robertson built a large tannery near the Millpond Dam and soon the tanning of hides became one of the first productive industries in the Town of Chester. In 1856 it became known as Robertson, Faxon & Co. The large complex on the western fringe of town soon gained prominence and became a major factor in the economy and growth of the area.

By 1885, 24,000 to 30,000 sides of leather were tanned and 300,000 pounds of sole leather were made annually until finally the supply of hemlock bark, essential to the tanning of hides was exhausted and the operation of the tannery closed.

Though the tannery’s most productive industry was closed, the buildings were occupied by other smaller industries including an overall factory. Later a shirt factory occupied the large building.

In 1935, Dr. Howard Swain purchased the site, and for a few years used one of the buildings for the Faxon Lighting System for the hamlet of Chestertown.

Various business ventures followed. For several years, Clarkson Leggett managed the Chestertown Steam Laundry. Others to follow were: a veneer mill, started by Alfred Najer in 1942; Veneer Products, Inc., 1943; Atlas Plywood, 1945 and Northern Softwood Shaving Co. headed by Albert Paull, Sr. Richard Considine bought the buildings and land in 1976, and started Lincoln Logs, Ltd. The old tannery building was demolished in 1986.

In March of 2009, Lincoln Logs, LTD was purchased by Larry & Deborah Stephenson and their daughter Erin Brothers. Today “The Original Lincoln Logs” retains the rich tradition of economy and growth on the original site of Faxon’s Tannery.

instead of allowing horizontal sprawl.

“This is a turning point for the Village — and hopefully we’re right,” he said.

Councilman Ray Perry said growing upward would make a more walkable community, and that additional development would help the the town and village with their financial distress.

“We’re struggling not to have a tax increase, and there’s an uphill battle ahead of us with the economy as it is,” he said.

Councilman Joe Mastrodomenico also said he was in favor of the changes.

“The village has to grow somewhere,” he said. “this is what we’ve got to do.”

Rastelli questioned whether the board was actually welcoming public input, as the Mayor had pledged at the meeting’s start.

“Is this a done deal?” he asked.

Town of Lake George resident Joan Gavin who previously voiced strong opposition to the height extension on behalf of her 100-member Lake George Citizens Group, said she didn’t attend because the board had already decided to adopt the change.

“The citizens of Lake George may have been heard in earlier meetings, but they weren’t listened to,” she said, criticizing the the public review procedure as “a sham.”

Diamond Point residents Mike and Dana Segulic also didn’t attend the meeting, but circulated an email afterwards citing they were “vehemently” opposed to the height changes. Among their concerns, was the impact of the increased wastewater from the development on Lake George water quality.

At the end of the meeting, developer Dave Kenny said the low turnout at the hearing was due to fading opposition.

“I’d like to think we’ve presented a good enough project that it’s calmed a lot of fears,” pledging that his building would have pleasing architectural features that would enhance the village’s character.

“Lake George needs meeting accommodations, and we think we can draw groups out of Albany,” he said.

Thurman EMS from page 1 Thurman squad can continue to be certified, considering their recent record of intermittent shutdowns due to financial distress, and the state’s ever-increasing mandates for training and equipment. They’ve also cited the Thurman squad’s repeated promises to get members certified in Advanced Life Support, but their failure so far to follow through.

With various regional emergency officials citing that the Thurman squad can’t pay for qualified round-the-clock personnel with merely 90 or so calls per year, these Thurman Board members have urged that the Thurman squad merge with the Warrensburg squad. The regional emergency officials have also expressed concerns that the Thurman squad can maintain its mandated medical certification.

Despite a pending contract with the Warrensburg squad, a combined squad or partnership is the preferred option, Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Wood said April 2. She said such a partnership offered financial stability, Advanced Life Support expertise, deeper personnel resources, and efficiency of scale.

“Whether you call it a merger or consoli-

dation, if the two squads worked together, it would be the best choice,” she said. “We would really like to see it happen.”

Thurman Emergency Medical Services President Jean Coulard and Warrensburg EMS squad captain Steve Emerson both said the two agencies had been negotiating a merger agreement earlier this year.

Emerson and Coulard said the Thurman Squad officials had proposed that the Warrensburg squad take over all of Thurman EMS’s assets, including their squad building, their ambulance and equipment, for $150,000 — far less than market value.

Coulard said that her squad officials had agreed to use the cash to pay off any debt, and then hand over the balance, estimated at about $30,000, to the Warrensburg squad.

Emerson said Thurman squad officials ditched the proposed deal when his squad’s officers asked for a list of debts and assets.

Coulard disputed Emerson’s assertion.

“There was no reason for us to provide the list — and they never showed up to look at the assets,” she said.

Coulard continued that there were more fundamental reasons for not agreeing to a merger — Warrensburg EMS officials wouldn’t guarantee they’d accept all the existing Thurman EMS members into the merged agency, and they also wouldn’t pledge to maintain 24/7 presence of an am-

bulance and personnel within Thurman boundaries, she said.

The pending contract between the town and the Warrensburg squad, however, implies that such presence is to be maintained.

The draft agreement also calls for the town to pay Warrensburg EMS immediately for the squad’s coverage through 2013, and $50,000 to be paid for service in 2014.

Coulard expressed dismay that the town was wiling to pay Warrensburg that amount, yet cited lack of funds to pay that amount to her squad. Wood countered that it was a matter of the neighboring squad’s proven ability to provide consistent, expert service.

The contract also states the town may provide a squad building and garage — and if so, equip it with furniture, maintain it and pay its utility costs.

Wood said these latter provisions were included in the draft contract because the disposition of the Thurman squad’s headquarters — ideal for providing local service — were uncertain at this time.

Wood said that in the absence of a merger

membership, laws, and how businesses and individuals can work together planning and promoting to bring events into town,” he said. “They were interested in what can be accomplished, working as a strong alliance.”

A Business Improvement District is generally comprised of commercial property owners and tenants within a designated area, with an aim to promote commerce. Property owners within the district pay a special tax, which funds special events, promotions, security, cleaning and some capital projects in their zone.

After the meeting, Lake George Mayor Robert Blais said he was encouraged by the turnout and he would soon be appointing a steering committee of about a dozen individuals representing both local commercial landlords and tenants, he said.

Capese said the BID concept offered promise for Lake George, particularly if the group concentrated on marketing and event promotion.

“Lake George already has a strong brand identity,” he said. “Also, I am very impressed by the amount of support and assistant Lake George businesses receive from local government.”

It is expected the committee will meet monthly over the next year and bring a recommendation to the Village Board by late winter 2014, Blais said.

agreement, the town board was carefully evaluating the prospect of signing the contract with the Warrensburg squad.

Know what child abuse is. Physical and sexual abuse clearly constitute maltreatment, but so does neglect, or the failure of parents or other caregivers to provide a child with needed food, clothing, and care.

Children can also be emotionally abused when they are rejected, berated, or continuously isolated.

Know the signs. Unexplained injuries aren’t the only signs of abuse. Depression, fear of a certain adult, difficulty trusting others or making friends, sudden changes in eating or sleeping patterns, inappropriate sexual behavior, poor hygiene, secrecy, and hostility are often signs of family problems and may indicate a child is being neglected or physically, sexually, or emotionally abused.

Report abuse. If you witness a child being harmed or see evidence of abuse, make a report to your state’s child protective services department or local police. When talking to a child about abuse, listen carefully, assure the child that he or she did the right thing by telling an adult, and affirm that he or she is not responsible for what happened.

The impact of child maltreatment can be profound.

Research shows that child maltreatment is associated with adverse health and mental health outcomes in chidren and families, and those negative affects can last a lifetime. In addition to the impact on the child, child abuse and neglect affect various systems - including physical and mental health, law enforcement, judicial and public social services, and nonprofit agencies as they respond to the incident and support the victim. One analysis of the immediate and longterm economic impact of child abuse and neglect suggests that child maltreatment costs the nation as much as $258 million each day, or approximately $94 billion each year.

n recent weeks, I’ve been seeing a lot of sign of animals on the move. A vixen red fox has established a den in our back yard, much to the consternation of our German Shorthaired Pointer who can’t seem to mark his territory fast enough.

I swear he has lost 20 pounds in water weight in just the past week, and every morning he repeats the ritual. The fox leaves a slightly skunk smelling scent, and her straight-in-a-line paw prints have provided ample evidence of her evening hunts. So too do the scattered turkey feathers, from her most recent kill in the side yard.

Obviously, the poor lonely mother didn’t have a chance to return to her kill for scraps before an “unpleasant of ravens” descended upon the carcass to scavenge the turkey down to nothing more than feet, bones and a beak.

The slow transition from winter to spring is finally beginning to accelerate. Last weekend, the Harley riders were out with the throaty roar of their bikes echoeing off the hills.

Surprisingly, there were also a few packs of bicyclists daring to travel the sandy edges of the busy local highways.

It appears spring puts everyone and everything on the move. Canada geese can be already be found on the Lake Flower in Saranac Lake, and bald eagles are regularly observed up and down the shores of Lake Champlain.

Birders are busy, counting off the growing flux of daily arrivals, whether it is a red winged blackbird in the marsh or a loon sighting on the ponds.

While on a quick jaunt into camp over the weekend, there were plenty of deer trails in the meager snow cover, as well as evidence of a fair share of fisher wanderings. Down by the stream, an otter slide appeared well used, and ducks had been on the open waters for well over a week.

The sweet scent of maple steam has been on the air for weeks, and it recently led me to stumble upon the latest maple concoction, a sweet nip of maple whiskey. I can’t say it is something I could drink a lot of, but it did serve a purpose as winter weather returned to produce another chilly spring day. The whiskey may not have warmed me up, but after a few nips, I kind of forgot about the foul weather.

An April fool I knew it was too good to be true, but like a little kid listening for sleigh bells on Christmas Eve; I wanted to believe.

I was sure it would happen again.

Two years ago, most Adirondack ponds had shed their icy hardtop by April 8. Then, in 2012, I enjoyed a leisurely troll around my favorite backwoods trout pond on April 1.

But like Lucy pulling the football away before poor old Charlie Brown could kick it, spring had failed to be sprung, and on April 1, there remained a 14-inch thick barrier of solid ice on the same ponds. I was again an April fool, albeit one with great hopes and high expectations. In the past few weeks, my dreams of being on the ponds for opening day had quietly dried up, even though the attendant snowpack had not diminished much.

I had gone through all of the usual motions. I strung up

Tiger trout, a unique hybrid of a brook trout and a brown trout, are a very rare find in the wild. However, the strange mix is commonly stocked in ponds and resoivors in the Catskills., where they can grow to 5-6 pounds or more. Distinguished by their odd looking, worm-like vermiculations, tigers are known as voracious preditors. In recent years, there have been several naturally spawned specimens of the tiger trout taken on the Chubb River near Lake Placid. The fish in photo is on display at The Wild Center in Tupper Lake, where many native fish Adirondack species reside inside a huge aquatium. new line on all my spinning reels, cleaned the bearings and the gears, and oiled them to perfection.

The rods, which I had so carelessly stacked in the back of the garage last fall in a mad dash to transition from fishing season to hunting season, were delicately untangled.

I checked them for hairline cracks, and I carefully ran my fingers over each guide to assure a smooth surface, with no nicks or burrs to fray my lines.

I replaced the hooks on most of my lures, and changed all of the stock treble hooks with new, red colored, offset trebles. I even took the time to burnish the spoons with fine grit emery cloth and steel wool. It’s amazing how good they look with no rust, crud or dried weeds.

After sorting through a big pile of spoons and wabblers, I used some steel wool to polish the old wabblers, Hinkleys and Suttons into a big pile of shiny bright tackle. I even tried spraying a few of the brass and copper finished spoons with a clear acrylic finish.

Of course, I also left a good bit of the pile in the original condition. Fourteen inches of ice is not going to disappear overnight. What’s the rush?

My old pile of maps and charts of the ponds and lakes has gradually diminished to a select few favorites that I still take along, despite the addition of a portable depth finder that now provides me with a more accurate indication of the depths and lake contours.

But old habits die hard. I’ll always keep a few the old, hand-drawn maps that were scribbled on a napkin, or a piece of a brown paper bag.

They are relics from the old days, when I was the youngster on the annual fishing trip, and I keep ‘em in the tackle box just to keep me fresh, to help restore the my enthusiasm for the process of preparing to get out.

It’s a process I’ll repeat several times, well before I even get to wet a line. I’ll sort through the fly boxes, respool some reels with sinking flylines, and generally waste a lot of time that could be put to better use. But, there’s nothing more enjoyable than just puttering about while waiting to get out, and it is a ritual I’ll continue to pursue until the moment there are actually some fish to fill my time.

As always, the rivers and streams will take a while to warm up, and a lucky few anglers will hit the jackpot with a couple of battered old battle veteran holdover trout. The picking will be slim until water temperatures on the streams gets up into the 50-degree range.

The best bets will be found in deeper holding pools, where turbulent conditions pump warm air into the current, at the base of waterfalls, dams or serious rapids.

Anglers must fish slow and delicate, as trout will not be aggressively chasing food. It will have to bump them in the nose.

I’ll be interested to hear of any further reports of tiger trout caught in local waters. The odd hybrid is the result of a mixed breeding between brown trout and brook trout, and it usually occurs in waters that hold healthy, naturally spawned populations of each species.

It appears the Chubb River, which tumbles out of the High Peaks to flow through the middle of Lake Placid village. It is one of the most productive tiger trout waters in the region.

However, I’ve also received reports of tigers taken on the Little Salmon River and the St. Regis River. They are an odd looking specimen, and the only fish I ever saw was taken on the upper Chubb by a young angler who claimed he had caught “a striped fish, like a perch but it's much prettier.”

At the time, I was aghast to think that a perch had somehow managed to depart Mirror Lake, which connects to the Chubb River below the old Mill Dam. Fortunately, the perch turned out to be a wild spawned, native tiger trout.

I've had a few unpleasant surprises over the years while fishing for trout, and fortunately that episode was one that turned out to be quite the opposite of what it first appeared.

armers have been blamed for much of the nutrient loading going into Lake Champlain. They have taken it on the chin numerous times for being polluters. Sometimes they deserved it; most times not.

The reality is that all of us contribute in one way or another. Fishermen trample banks, loggers cross streams, and sedBy Rich Redman iment washes off roads and parking lots from the grit spread to control ice. And, of course, people toss waste over the banks because they don’t want to go to the dump.

Nutrient runoff comes from many sources, not just farmland. Farmers, however, are doing something special to help curb the problems.

Cows in streams are a natural thing, like deer drinking out of a brook. The problem is when you get 100 of them there for an extended period of time. That’s a different story. Stream banks get pounded by hooves, erosion takes place, and the manure is spread in the brook, not on the pasture where it should be. Sediment and nutrients then enter the waterway. There is a simple fix: fencing and planting vegetative buffers.

Planting riparian buffers along stream banks is one of my passions, and I truly believe they are one of the easiest, cost effective and ecologically sensible things a farm can do to alleviate the problem.

Riparian buffers are strips of trees and bushes planted parallel to the stream with a width of 35 feet or more. The vegetation traps sediment, absorbs nutrients and provides stability to the stream banks due to the root systems of the plants. The goal is to trap the runoff and nutrients before they enter the stream.

As a guy who likes to walk streams and fly fish, one thing I love to see are lots of willows growing along streams. Willow shrubs are low growing, provide shelter for fish by overhanging the banks, have tremendous root systems to stabilize the banks and it’s a great place for terrestrial bugs, worms and other critters to live. If the buffer is managed, so the vegetation is kept in a brushy state and not overgrown with shade trees, it will also make great woodcock habitat. Buffers are also home to a variety of birds, amphibians and reptiles.

Plan ahead before you plant. Think about the habitat you want to create, such as brush and grass, early successional or mature woods. What you plant and your willingness to manage will make a difference.

Conservation is not just about stopping nutrients from getting to Lake Champlain; it’s putting all the ecological and economic pieces in place to make it work for the landowner, wildlife and the stream inhabitants. Not only is it good for the stream and lake, it must be easy on the landowner ’s wallet. Conservation needs to be low cost and high in benefits.

Many farmers in the Champlain Valley have installed buffers along their stream banks. The Leerkes Farm in Ticonderoga planted trees and shrubbery a few years ago to protect the banks of their previously pastured stream.

Shaun Gilliland in Willsboro will be planting a variety of fruit trees, berry bushes and other plants. This will provide an alternative income in the future by selling the products like jam to supplement his beef operation. The rooted vegetation will provide stream protection, and the waste fruit will provide excellent food for bugs and worms, and yes, they both feed fish.

The Leerkes and Gillilands are Essex County Farm Bureau members, and they lead by example. These guys realize the economics of this area depends on farms, forestry and recreation like fishing and hunting. Managed habitat supports greater populations of stream life, farm and forest wildlife. What these farmers are doing is a great value to all of us, not just Lake Champlain.

Although there have been incidents where farm runoff has hurt fisheries, they are few and far between. Most streams may actually benefit from some nutrients, but that’s another story.

One simple trick all of us “streamwalkers” can do is to take 2-foot cuttings from the growing willows and push them half way into the soft moist mud in the sunny bare spots along the banks. This bio-engineering technique doesn’t hurt the host plant, will allow more willows to spread, provides overhanging fish habitat and keep the banks from eroding. The other great benefit: it doesn’t cost the taxpayer a penny, and that in itself is a miracle of biblical proportions now days.

On Friday, April 26 at 6 p.m. at Hiland

Park Country Club, 195 Haviland Road in Queensbury, NCM will hold its annual Spring Gala. The gala will take on the element of mystery for a night of good food, a twisted who-done-it tale that guests must figure out and an assortment of raffle items that range from handmade furniture to a Sanibel Island vacation in Florida.

Felt-Making session set locally STONY CREEK — A fiber arts workshop focusing on felt making is set for Saturday, April 13 and Sunday, April 14 at the Stony Creek Town Hall.

To be instructed by Robin Blakney-Carlson, the sessions are from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day. Participants are to be introduced to the basics of felt collage. Saturday’s session focuses on working with an array of wool, textiles, silks and exotic fibers to create textured feltwork inspired by the natural world. Sunday is to include addition of hand-embroidery or machine stitching, beading, and embellishing techniques.

Blakney-Carlson studied at Munson Williams Proctor School of Art, as well as from many master felt makers. Her work is represented in exhibitions and galleries in New York and New England. She also teaches at Luckystone Feltworks Studio in Glens Falls.

This class is sponsored by The Stony Creek Library. The class fee is $15 and is due at registration. All materials are included. To register, call 696-5911 or stop in the library at 37 Harrisburg Road. Library hours are 5 to 9 p.m. Monday and Wednesday; 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday; and 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday.

I think people will get a kick out of it and it will be really exciting, fun and different.”

The gala is North Country Ministry’s biggest annual fundraiser. Last year, the Roaring ’20s themed gala raised $35,000.

NCM Executive Director Jill Harrington said she hopes the festivities can match lastyear ’s turnout.

The proceeds of the Gala provide the means to serve more than 1,000 people per month in a 650-square-mile area of the Adirondack region. Emergency assistance, clothing, free lunches, furniture, and advocacy are some of the services provided. The Baby’s Place helps parents and caregivers with training, clothing and furniture.

“We do as much as we can with the money we raise to make it go far,” said Harrington. “We provide services without discrimination, though we are faith-based we do not ask anyone about their beliefs, we simply
