Snow

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com ATHOL — With the Thurman Emer gency Squad now balking at fulfilling r equirements of a 2011 service contract they signed with the town just a few months ago, local officials have urged the squad members to meet with their counterpart agency in W arrensburg and talk about consolidation or a partnership.

On Monday, April 4, the squad’s new leadership told the board they couldn’t live up to the agr eement that stipulated no patient billing, an 80 percent response rate, and no paid employees. The squad leaders asked the board for paid staf fing, the ability to institute “soft” billing for services, and for all of their year ’s $50,000 stipend in advance.

“I implor e you, please give this new leadership a chance,” newly elected squad pr esident Jean Coulard said.

decrease in State Aid. This represents a hike of $150,772 or 1.92 percent over the current local tax levy.

Among the faculty and staf f posts r estored after str ong public expressions of support, wer e a middle-school Technology instructor, a school Psychologist, the gr eeter at the high school, and a study hall monitor , as well as a special remedial reading teacher.

The budget now expected to go befor e the public for a vote calls for expenditur es of $18,521,841, W arrensburg School District Business Manager Cynthia Turcotte said Monday.

This latest budget revision boosts the amount to be spent in 2011-12 from unreserved fund balances to about $808,524, she said. The amount r emaining now in the school’s unr eserved fund balances is above the 4 per cent maximum allowable under state guidelines, and this was part of the ear son the school board decided to rely heavier on District savings to fund 2011-12 operations, she said.

“The board proposed drawing mor e from fund balances in an effort to keep the tax levy down while saving the positions that wer e earlier pr oposed for cuts,” she said. “But we may have to look at these positions again next year, depending on State Aid.” In addition to the proposed budget, the school board seat of Linda Baker Marcella will also be up for election May 17.

The post is a four-year term beginning July 1.

As of Tuesday, no petitions had yet been filed for the position, but Marcella said Tuesday she was intending to file a petition for re-election to her seat.

She has gained a r eputation for balancing the community’s educational needs with the fiscal concerns of the taxpayers.

Marcella said Tuesday she was open to input fr om all in the community.

“Decision-making on the school board is not only about the childr en, but the taxpayers, school district employees and residents also need to be taken into account,” she said.

The issues the school boar d now faces, in the light of financial constraints and spiraling state and federal mandates, are extremely challenging, she said.

“Everybody needs to try to be a part of the solution,” she said.

The deadline for filing positions for the boar d seat isApril 18 at 5 p.m.

Pastor Steve at home at United Methodist Church

By Andy Flynn andy@denpubs.com

WARRENSBURG — Pastor Steve’s calling to do God’s work came about 30 years ago when he had small children, but it wasn’t quite time to make the leap and become a full-time pastor at the Methodist Church.

“God said, ‘I gave you these kids to raise. W e’ll talk later ,’” said Pastor Steve, whose full name is Stephen Andrews.

Those two children are all raised now, 36-year-old daughter Julie living in New Hampshir e and 34year-old Todd living in his parents’ former home in Hudson Falls.

Pastor Steve and his wife, Susan, moved to the parsonage behind the First United Methodist Church in Warrensburg in August 2010. That was a month before Pastor Steve r etired from his day job at age 62, a laboratory information systems (LIS) coor dinator for Saratoga Hospital.

In recent years, Pastor Steve’s calling had become stronger.

“I missed it,” he said. “I felt I was not happy unless I was preaching.”

The First United Methodist Chur ch in W arrensburg had been without a pastor for about 13 months when Pastor Steve moved her e. The pr evious pastor, Dawn Robbins, left

for another pastorship, and the W arrensburg chur ch had some lay leaders take over the administrative duties. Pastor Steve became the church’s lay supply pastor in November 2009.

“Which basically means I brought the message her e on Sunday,” he said.

Pastor Steve graduated from the Local Pastor ’s Licensing School at the Upper New York Annual Conference of the United Methodist Chur ch in May 2010. A few months later, he and his wife moved fr om Hudson Falls to W arrensburg.

“God has a sense of humor,” Pastor Steve said.

“He took Dawn Robbins and put her in Hudson Falls.”

Pastor S teve n ow w orks ¾ time for the chur ch, yet when you carry God’s message everywher e, it’s har d to limit compassion and preaching to 32 hours. It’s more like a full-time job, he said. In addition to duties at the chur ch, Pastor Steve spends a lot of his time now visiting people in hospitals and nursing homes and has about a dozen peopleon his “shut-in” list.

Warrensburg’s Methodist Church has embraced 21st Century technology and the ways of the digital world.

Not only can Pastor Steve’s parishioners hear his sermon at the chur ch every Sunday, they can log on to the church’s Facebook page to read the sermon and get important updates on community events and chur ch activities.

“We’ve already got some projects for them at the church,” Pastor Steve quipped.

For Pastor Steve, his religious education is not yet complete, and he’s still settling into his new home in Warrensburg. He plans on earning a master ’s degr ee from the Asbury Theological Seminary , based in Wilmore, Ky. And he’s addressing the many challenges that face a smalltown chur ch, meeting the needs of his parishioners, and living the dr eam as a preacher, all the while spreading God’s word.

“I want to reach as many people as I can with the gospel,” he said. “W e have the answers to most of the world’s pr oblems within these walls.”

Sports season from page 1 The decision af fects W arrensburg High School and North W arren High, as well as their counterparts in Bolton and Lake Geor ge.

Other schools in the League af fected by the decision ar e HadleyLuzerne, Corinth, Fort Edwar d, Hartford, W hitehall, Argyle, F ort Ann and Salem.

The three-week delay in league play and cancellation of about half the season schedule is a r elatively rare one in r ecent history, Adirondack League Pr esident Andrew Cook said Monday. Cook serves as principal of Hartford High School.

“We’re having dif ficult weather and 95 percent of our league’s athletic dir ectors said their fields weren’t yet playable,” he said. “We had to reconfigure the schedule so league games would start on April 25 after spring break.”

The decision means schools will be playing other teams in the league once rather than twice as initially scheduled. The lineup of 16 or so softball and baseball games traditionally held during the spring season has now been re duced to seven or eight. League officials had consider ed r e-scheduling early games at the end of the season, but doing so presented insurmountable conflicts in school calendars, Cook said.

Individual schools in the league are free to hold scrimmages or nonleague games in place of the league games, he said.

Warrensburg Athletic Director Steve Nolan said forecasts of unfavorable weather appeared to crimp such opportunities for play time before spring break.

“At this time, we have no games scheduled for next week,” he said Monday.

While North W arren High School and Lake George High have competed in tennis matches held on campuses of schools in warmer neighboring counties, the W arrensburg High School tennis team has not been competing because their schedule called for matches on their home court at Echo Lake Camp, which is still unplayable due to accumulated snow and wet, cold weather, Nolan said.

Monday, April 4, W arrensburg Varsity Baseball Team members were chopping through snow piles several feet deep on a playing field behind the local elementary school in an effort to maximize game opportunities.

Digging down to the ground and spreading out the snow allows the sun to melt the built-up snow and ice faster , making the fields playable s ooner, Varsity B aseball coach Rex Reynolds said. As of Friday, April 1, ther e wer e 19 inches of snow atop an inch of ice on the Varsity Baseball field behind the high school, he said.

While the snow persists on the play fields in W arrensburg, the high school baseball and softball teams have been practicing in the school district’s two gymnasiums, tossing balls back and forth and swinging bats in batting cages.

Consolidations, mergers, dissolutions: Give the power back to the people

I

n a day and age where the tax burden grows at a faster rate than most incomes, municipal leaders — and residents — are looking at consolidating services or entir e government entities to save money. And, rightly so.

Most r ecently, a r esident called for the village board in Champlain to formally study the dissolution pr ocess.

Disgruntled that the board opted not to move forward, he now is spearheading a petition drive, attempting to get signatures of 10 percent of village voters to force a public vote, which is allowed under state law.

The mayor, on the other hand, sees no substantial savings to taxpayers in merging with the town, saying fixed costs like the village’s water and sewer department would not go away after being absorbed by the town.

Just to the south, in the city and town of Plattsbur gh, the topic has come up about the two municipalities mer ging.

Again, there are conflicting opinions.

Supervisor Bernie Bassett and Mayor Don Kasprzak have chimed in, with Kasprzak in favor and Bassett against.

Bassett said he doesn’t want the town to bear the financial burden of the city, but Kasprzak contends the city’s finances have improved since he took office. Yet, the cost of running a consolidated government could pr ove to cost more in the long run, according to Bassett.

There ar e instances wher e one government has pr oven to be mor e ef ficient, however.

In T iconderoga, the former village dissolved into the town in 1992. Former Supervisor Michael Connery said the decision was one he and then Mayor Michael Diskin worked on together .

Connery said when the International Paper mill moved outside the village and into the town, it left villagers facing a tremendous tax burden. Merging the village into the town made for a more equal distribution of the tax base, he said.

At the same time, r edundancy was eliminated as was the cost of paying the village board. Services did not suffer and no jobs were lost — which is always a contentious issue in these matters.

“It was seamless,” Diskin said, noting that having no police or fir e department in the village helped sell the case for dissolution.

Consolidation has also been discussed for several years in the town and village of Lake George and the two municipalities r ecently decided to study the consolidation of their public works departments. Kudos to the town and village for deciding to spend $3,500 on this study . Now they just have to agree on a firm to conduct the study. It seems the town distr usts the village to pick a company that would treat both parties equally.

In places like Lake Geor ge and Tupper Lake, where town and village officials continuously bicker and distrust each other, perhaps they would be better off putting personal gr udges aside and str eamlining operations by mer ging departments where possible to save taxpayers money.

Is consolidation the answer? How about village dissolution?

Probably not in every circumstance, but it certainly warrants study — even if it costs time and money to do so.

Grant money is available for this, and unless studies are conducted, taxpayers will never have a clear answer whether consolidation of services would be in their best inter est financially.

Elected officials owe it to their constituency to operate as lean and ef ficiently as possible, even if that equires r the difficult decision of giving up their own jobs in the process — as was done with the Ticonderoga village board.

If officials will not take it upon themselves to rule out consolidation to save money, then the law allows voters to rise up and force a public vote based on the will of the people.

That is pr ecisely what is happening in Champlain. And we commend them for it.

100 Years Ago - April 1911 Death came unexpected George Printiss Butler , senior member of the stock exchange firm of Geor ge P. Butler & Brother, of New York City, whose summer residence was on the west side of Friends Lake, dropped dead April 7, 1911 in front of the Hotel Grosvenor in London, England. He had been traveling in Algiers and Egypt since January with his wife and daughter and was in the pr ocess of r ushing home to America after he had r eceived the news of his mother’s serious illness. He was stricken with heart disease and died almost instantly as he was about to enter the hotel.

The family spent the summer at Friends Lake and was often seen riding about W arrensburgh and the surrounding countryside behind a four-mule team.

He blamed it on the whiskey Danny Jackson, who was re cently released from the Elmira r eformatory on par ole for stealing a horse, is now incar cerated in jail at Lake George awaiting trial for stealing yet another horse. Danny has been living with his mother , Mrs. Eliza Jackson on Spr uce Mountain, in north Warrenburgh.

Sheriff Thomas J. Smith was notified that a horse belonging to Paul Smith, who lives a short distance above the Toll Gate (now corner of Route 28) on the Chester Road, had been stolen some time Saturday night, April 15, 1911. The sheriff and the owner of the animal started out in hot pursuit and tracked the horse to the Pucker Street road and over the Middleton Bridge into Bolton. Young

people returning from a sugar party told the sheriff that they had seen a man ride past earlier, that he appeared to be in a big hurry and the horse had been foaming at the mouth. They found the poor beast about a mile from Edgecomb Pond at the home of a man named Ase Smith. The horse’s tail had been cut off for the purpose of concealing its identity. Smith told the men that when Jackson had been unable to sell the horse to him he had deserted it.

Later, when the sheriff forced his way into the Jackson home back in W arrensburgh, against the mother ’s pr otests, he found his horse thief. Jackson admitted having stolen the animal and said he was intoxicated and did not realize what he was doing.

State acquires Indian artifacts James A. Holden of Glens Falls, tr easurer of the New York State Historical Society, has placed in the hands ofArthur C. Parker, State Archaeologist, a collection of Indian r elics acknowledged by experts to be the most valuable collection in existence.

Mr. Holden donated the collection to the State of New York to r eplace the collection recently destroyed by fir e in the state capitol. It comprises hundr eds of rar e ar chaeological, ethnological, geological and paleontological specimens acquired by the late Dr. Austin Wells Holden during his lifetime and bequeathed to his son, the present donor.

(Note … James A. Holden went on to become New York State Historian at a then huge salary of $4,500 a year . The story of these two r emarkable men, father and son, was told in this history column in the Dec.

Editor enters state asylum Charles A. Perrin, night editor of the Glens Falls Morning Post Star, has been committed to the state asylum at Utica. Mr . Perrin has been r eceiving tr eatment at the Marshall Sanitarium in Troy. The cause of the mental breakdown is attributed to overwork in the newspaper business. Mr . Perrin, 22 years old, graduated fr om the Glens Falls Academy in 1908 after which he entered the newspaper business. (Note … I have seen firsthand for many years that being a newspaper editor is only for the very brave of heart!)

Resurrected boat on Lake George The boat W inninish, owned and ran on Lake George by LeGrand C. Cramer of Troy, which was r ecently sunk in New York Harbor, will be duplicated at once. Mr . Cramer has been assured by the builders, Seabury & Co., that work will be commenced soon on the new craft so that it will be ready for use on the lake not later than July 1, 1911.

(Note … In 1908 LeGrand Cramer raced his W inninish against the Simplex XV in a 62-mile endurance run through the length of Lake George and back and Cramer lost that lake championship r egatta. The average speed of the winner was 26 and a half miles per hour . Cramer ’s “summer cottage” was located near Diamond Point.A wealthy men, he was on the boar d of dir ectors of several banks. He was a member of the Lake Georg e Printing Company , which published the Lake George Mirror.

Adirondack Journal - 7 There was a big scandal in the family in 1912 when his son, Geor ge Cramer eloped with a girl that the family was said to have not approved. The boy had inherited several valuable properties on Lake George from his grandfather.)

A toe made of gold A woman’s toe is worth $300, accord ing to the ver dict r eturned in Supr eme Court at Hudson Falls, in favor of Clara E. Holmen in her suit against Dr . Alfred Heinstr eet, a Glens Falls chiropodist. The plaintiff alleged that by r eason of malpractice, blood poison set in, which necessitated the amputation of the toe.

Dr. Welch from page 6 Adirondack Park often pay $1 million or more per year for coverage. Some larger hospitals in bigger cities pay over $100 million per year . Individual physicians pay anywhere from $10-15,000 for lowrisk specialties to over $300,000 for some higher-risk specialties each year.

A fourth area of hidden expense is in meeting the “documentation or cr edentialing” needs to practice.

Several years ago when I was affiliated with Glens Falls Hospital they did a survey of the number of dif ferent entities that performed some kind of inspection or survey of that facility in a given year. The number was over 100 and ranged from the local fire department to the elevator inspectors on one end to the Joint Commission on Health Car e Organizations and State Health Department on the other end. In the private office it is not quite that bad but the number of organizations or agencies we have to report to each year ru ns in the dozens.

The time spent filing reports, documenting information and processing requests adds up very quickly and again that cost is passed on to the patient.

In summary, ther e ar e many hidden costs in the health car e system that r esult in spending a lot of money on things other than direct care to the patient. In a perfect system, nearly every dollar would be spent on preventive, diagnostic studies or tr eatment. We should be able to build a more efficient system.

Chambre des dépenses d'accueil aux voyageurs Canadiens Lake George Chamber extends hospitality to Canadian travelers

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Bienvenue. That’s what the contingent at the Lake Geor ge Regional Chamber of Commer ce and Convention & Visitor ’s Bureau (CVB) was saying April 1-3 at its vendor table during the National Women’s Show in Montreal.

Dubbed “The ultimate girl’s day out,” Lake Geor ge was well r epresented at the show b y J anice F ox, C hristine M olella a nd Michael Consuelo, accor ding to Chamber Executive Dir ector Luisa Craige-Sherman.

This Adirondack r esort village was one of about 300 exhibitors showcasing their wares among the food and wine, cooking demos, celebrities, h ealth a nd w ellness p roducts, fashion shows and home r enovation ideas.

Only Lake Geor ge wasn't of fering fr ee makeovers, it was selling itself as a travel destination for Canadian women.

“The Montr eal show was a huge hit,” Craige-Sherman s aid i n a n April 4 e -mail.

“Our guides and information flew of f the table.”

When it comes to attracting Canadian tourists, Lake Geor ge Chamber of ficials

Canadian Bienvenue Discount Card have taken a pr oactive approach to marketing the southern W arren County r egion, from travel shows and discount car ds to Canadian-friendly mascots and a bilingual (English and French) staff and Web site.

The Montreal show was a typical marketing event for the Chamber and only one of several shows the staf f attends each year , Craige-Sherman said in a sit-down interview April 1.

“They will be touting the Lake Geor ge area and all the things ther e is to do her e,” she said.

Such was the case when the Chamber sent representatives to Ontario last October for the annual Toronto Ski, Snowboard & Travel Show and when Craige-Sherman attended the Canadian Snowbird Association’s annual Snowbir d Extravaganza in January in Florida.

Canadians traveling south fr om Quebec have a straight shot at the Lake Geor ge r egion by way of Interstate-87, theAdirondack Northway.

On its Web site — lakegeorgechamber.com — the Chamber advertises Lake Georg e with this invitation, “Our ‘Queen of theAmerican Lakes’ can be your jewel of a vacation playground with an overabundance of things to do for all ages … or a quiet r espite on your own personal island!”

Lake George can stop by the Chamber office on Route 9 to pick up br ochures and speak to CVB Membership Sales Coordinator Sue Scott Parker, who is fluent in Fr ench and routinely welcomes Francophones (as well as Anglophones) to Lake George.

On the str eets of Lake Geor ge, especially at the downtown V isitors’ Center , tourists may see the two Chamber mascots welcoming Canadians during the summer . Georgie — the big gr een guy— is t he La ke Geor ge Lake Monster and wears a white shirt that says, “Welcome Canadian Visitors!” And there is Jacque — a red Canadian maple leaf head with bright white eyes and a huge smile — who wears a black tuxedo. The two mascots can sometimes be seen together at special events or just r oaming the str eets during the busy season.

With a strong Canadian economy, the push to market Lake Geor ge to our neighbors in the north was a no-brainer for the Chamber.

“It’s at least 20 to 25 per cent of our market,” Craige-Sherman said.

There ar e mor e than 4,000 Canadians in the C hamber ’s d atabase, a nd t hey r eceive regular e-mail newsletters about travel deals and events in the Lake George region. Those names came from people who signed up for the Chamber’s popular Canadian Bienvenue Discount Card program. Travelers who sign up must pr ove their Canadian citizenship.

Then they get a discount car d, which gives them discounts at participating businesses, including 14 accommodations, eight attractions, five restaurants and two gift shops.

Craige-Sherman encourages mor e local businesses sign up for the program as a way to entice Canadian customers, and she said they should train their front desk staff about the program. Canadians can sign up online at the Chamber ’s Web site.

“People are always looking for deals,” she said.

Lake George road race to attract runners, dollars

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — The inaugural Lake George Half Marathon is expected to be an athletic and economic success.

Organizers hope to attract 500 r unners and thousands of dollars to the community during the event Saturday, April 23.

“Our goal is to put on a gr eat race while showcasing the community ,” explained Dean Reinke, president of the Florida-based Reinke Sports Group. “Lake George fits into out program nicely.”

The Lake George Half Marathon is one of about 40 races in the United States Running Association half marathon series. The races are conducted by Reinke Sports Gro up, a forprofit gr oup that pr omotes races nationwide.

Reinke S ports G roup d ecided t o h old a race in Lake Geor ge after its pr esident met Tanya Brand of the Warren County Tourism Department at a convention.

Brand said Warren County is becoming increasingly popular with sporting event promoters, citing the Quebec Velo bike tour last summer, the Warrior Run at West Mountain this year and others.

“We’ve found many sports-oriented travelers love our ar ea,” Brand said. “W e’re a great destination for outdoor recreation.”

A race with 500 runners will have a signif-

icant impact on the local economy , Brand said. She noted a motorcoach tour of about 50 people brings $10,000 a day to a community.

“Our goal is to promote our area as a destination to travelers,” Brand said. “The larger the gr oup the mor e money they bring to the community. We hope many of the r unners will spend the weekend in the area, enjoy themselves and come back again.”

The Lake George Half marathon is actually three races. There will be a half marathon run of 13.1 miles beginning at 8 a.m., a 3.1mile run/walk at 8:15 a.m. and a fun r un at 9:45 a.m. All events begin and end at the Fort William Henry Hotel on Canada Street.

The half marathon course will be out-andback north on Route 9N. “It’s a dynamite course,” Reinke said. “It’s right along the lake; it’s beautiful. I’ve been assured its going to be a beautiful day.”

Registration is available online at www.usrahm.com/Events/Lake_George_H alf_Marathon. Entry fees are $60 for the half

marathon, $25 for the 5K and $10 for the fun run. There will be no race day r egistration.

Half marathoners wil l r eceive a tech shirt and 5K r unners a T-shirt. Runners will also receive goodie bags.

Following the races ther e will be a postrace party and awards ceremonies.

“We want this to be a fun, positive experience for everyone,” Reinke said. “We’ll have a post-race party with a live band and food.”

There were 260 runners from 18 states registered April 4. Reinke expects the race to have a field of about 500 when the gun is fired April 23.

“I think 500 runners would be a very good first year,” he said. “We have the intention to make this an annual event. W e feel it’s a race we can keep growing. I can see the race having 700-800 runners next year. We could reach as many as 2,000 in the future.”

Reinke said bringing an event to Lake George has personal significance. Reinke, himself a national-class runner, was friends with the late Barry Brown of Bolton, a world

class r unner in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. He died in 1992.

“Barry was always asking me to come to the area to run with him,” Reinke said. “Sadly, I never did. I can see why he loved it ther e so much.”

Maintenance Applies To Your Vehicle’s Interior, Too Recent studies have estimated that many Americans spend as much as three hours a day in their cars. Over the course of a typical week, that’s almost one entire day behind the wheel. That not only translates to lots of face time with your vehicle’s interior, but it also provides ample opportunities for the buildup of dirt, grime, coffee, and food stains that can leave a car’s interior appearing haggard and worn.

In addition to robbing a car’s interior of its aesthetic appeal, the buildup of dirt and grease can also cause the vehicle

vage Ray’sUsedSAutoal & Truck Parts

to degrade over time. Though it’s common to associate vehicle maintenance with what’s under the hood, drivers should also make maintenance a priority for the vehicle’s interior. When cleaning a car’s interior, address each and every nook and cranny.

Consoles & Cup Holders Perhaps no part of a vehicle’s interior is more susceptible to dirt and grease buildup than the center console, which is typically home to a vehicle’s cup holders. Spilled coffee or soda is something every driver can relate to, and cleaning such spills is harder than it sounds. No Touch(R) Interior Detailing Mousse from Permatex, a leading innovator of auto maintenance, repair, and appearance products, is specially formulated to remove not only stubborn stains, but also older ones, making it

ideal for taking care of that longignored yet unsightly residue at the bottom of your cupholder.

Clean Under the Carpets Particularly after a long winter, a vehicle’s carpets can be a major eyesore. Remove the floor mats and thoroughly vacuum any dirt buildup that might have multiplied with each winter snowstorm or spring shower.

Your carpets will look better and last longer.

Dashboards & Door Panels In order to drive a vehicle, motorists must look out over the dashboard.

Despite that, dashboards are often overlooked when it comes to cleaning a car’s interior. No Touch(R) Interior Detailing Mousse is formulated to remove unsightly dirt or grease buildup from all interior surfaces, including plastic, rubber, vinyl, and leather, while drying to a satin sheen to minimize dashboard reflection on the windshield.

What’s unique about No Touch(R) Interior Detailing Mousse is that it

applies as a mousse, meaning there won’t be any of the messy overspray and seepage into components and vents that drivers typically worry about when cleaning the dashboard and door panels.

Address the Upholstery When buying a new car, many auto buyers are concerned about the car’s potential resale value. That’s a genuine concern, as resale value is often influenced by more than just the number of miles on the odometer. Dirty upholstery is an instant turnoff for most used car buyers, so drivers should be diligent and clean their upholstery regularly, including immediately after any spills. Be careful when using water to clean the upholstery, as you don’t want any water getting into places that can damamge electrical components or create a moldy smell.

Practice Preventive Care Much like humans, a car is susceptible to UV rays. Whereas a human would apply sunscreen to his or her skin to protect against sunburn, drivers can apply a UV-protectant product to their vehicle’s interior to guard against problems that often result from overexposure to the sun. No Touch(R) Interior Detailing Mousse is specially formulated to protect a vehicle against UV rays that typically lead to fading, cracking, and aging. What’s more, its non-greasy formula leaves surfaces with a film-free finish, ensuring the car’s interior will look and feel like new without suffering any harmful side effects of sun exposure. No Touch(R) Interior Detailing Mousse also has an anti-static repellant, which helps keep the instrument panel free and clear of dust for safer and easier navigation.

Overcome the Odor Masking odors is another concern for many vehicle owners.

Adirondack Journal - 13

While some spring days are ideal for rolling down the windows, spring showers are often a force to be reckoned with during the spring season. For drivers trapped inside a car with its own distinct odor, No Touch(R) Interior Detailing Mousse has a new car scent that ensures both driver and passenger won’t be stuck holding their noses on those long commutes to work.

Trees being replaced in Lake George streetscape project

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — A project is now under way to enhance the streetscape of downtown Lake George village while protecting the lakewater quality, and the effort involves the replacement of various diseased trees.

The r emoval of 26 older tr ees along the W est side of Canada Str eet has pr ompted calls to the village of fice, and local of ficials have been r eassuring r esidents and business owners that new, healthy and har dy trees will replace those that were diseased and deteriorating.

This week, an area construction firm began removing sidewalks and tr ees fr om McGillis Avenue to Amherst Street on the north.

New sidewalks, pavers, pedestrian ramps, tr ees and extensive stormwater improvements are planned within the four-block area.

Mayor Robert Blais said that deciding to emove r all the trees within the work zone was difficult, but it was warranted considering the condition of the tr ees, which were examined by experts and determined to have only three to five years left to live.

A tr ee inventory was conducted thr ee years ago by Cornell Cooperative Extension, and a r esulting r eport recommended removal of most tr ees on Canada Str eet.

Since then, several other experts have confirmed the findings.

Village of ficials have selected 30 tr ees, older than merely saplings, to r eplace those being r emoved. They include Winter King Hawthorn, Adirondack crabapple, Canada red chokeberry, Autumn Brilliance serviceberry and Amur Maackia. All are resistant to invasive species and suitable for planting curbside in city environments, Blais said. Specifications call for the tr ees to have branches at least 6 feet fr om the base and be highly r esistant to salt and drought.

The village will be installing ornamental tree grates in place of the curr ent planters, and r etain their hanging baskets from utility poles, allowing for increased pedestrian sidewalk ar eas. Stormwater tr eatment devices ar e to be installed underneath the sidewalks.

The project, funded by a $563,930 state r evitalization grant, is expected to be primarily completed by May 26 but r esume in the fall for the block north of Amherst Street.

While removal of 26 trees along the west side of Canada Street has prompted many inquiries to village offices, local officials are reassuring residents that the diseased trees will soon be replaced by healthy, hardy trees that are suited for an urban environment. The tree replacement is part of a project to upgrade the streetscape of the central village and enhance stormwater management.

In Essex County

Collard receives max sentence for 1980 murder of wife June Vanderwerker: ‘He won’t make it eight, forget 24’

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — As she thought about her mother , a lone tear came down the face of Tammy Vanderwerker.

She said that she would love to be able to hold her, to have her get to know her grandchildr en, to have a mother daughter r elationship with a woman she barely knew.

June Marion Hopkins Collar d was taken away fr om her two daughters and son in 1980 when her husband, Thomas A. Collar d, said she left the family.

On Mar ch 31, Mr . Collar d was sentenced under a plea agr eement to an indeterminate amount of prison time between eight and 24 years for the selfconfessed murder of his wife.

Collard previously had pled guilty to a count of first-degree manslaughter.

In a packed Essex County courtro om, Collard enter ed, in chains, at ar ound 3:15 p.m., looking down as District Attorney Kristy L. Sprague announced that Vanderwerker wished to addr ess the court.

During her r emarks, Collard mostly looked down, often making facial expressions with his mouth.

“He buried her body right outside our bathroom window,” Vanderwerker said. “That is quite sickening if you ask me.”

Vanderwerker, who admitted at the beginning of her remarks that speaking to the court, “was not easy” for her, referred to her father only as, “the monster.”

“From the time he killed our mother, we stopped being kids,” she said. “I was the one that took the place of my mother in the family . He said to me over and over again, you’r e just like your mother and I will do the same thing to you. Because of him, I live my life in fear.”

Vanderwerker said that she r emembered few things about her mother , as she was 8 years old when June Collard was killed.

“Mom made our clothes, and her favorite song was ‘Islands in the Stream,’” she said. “Those ar e all the memories I have of her . I should have known mor e about her . She should have been my best friend.”

After sentencing, Vanderwerker reiterated her hatred for her father.

“I don’t love,” she said. “I’ll never forgive. I’ll never, never forget.”

Daughter Candy Horan, who did not attend the sentencing because she felt her time and money would be, “better served pr oviding our mother with a proper burial,” stated her feelings in a

letter to the court.

“I love you because you are our dad and I hate you because you killed our mother,” Horan stated, as r ead by Sprague. “Did you ever stop and think of us kids and what this would do to us? No, I think not.”

Thomas Collar d shook his head a couple of times during the r eading of Horan’s statement, in which she talked about the hope of seeing her mother again based on Collard’s story that she had just run away.

“What fools we were,” Horan stated.

“I believe that I will never get the answers, or that I will believe those answers ... (I) hope you don’t have another day or another second of joy in your life.”

Sprague then spoke on behalf of the state.

“He was a bully , he was good at it, and he liked it,” Sprague said about Collard, who momentarily looked toward the section wher e Vanderwerker was seated. “Ther e is not one r edeeming quality about the defendant.”

Sprague also gave the court a glimpse of the evidence the state had collected, saying that the confession Collard gave to the court about the murder was inaccurate.

“The cause of death was determined to be anywher e between thr ee and six blunt-force traumas to the head,” Sprague said, afterwar ds stating, “W e had for ensic pathologists look at the skull and that is one of many things that would have come out with a trial.”

Sprague then offered her recommendation based on the family’s input.

“They ask, and we ask, that you sentence him to a place that he deserves to stay for the r est of his life,” Sprague

said.

Along with the sentence, Sprague also asked for $5,523.82 in r estitution costs and that or ders of pr otection be issued for all three children. The order for Thomas Collar d Jr., was r escinded at the request of the defense.

Judge Richar d Meyer agr eed to the agreement.

“There is nothing that I can do her e today to make up for what you have done, this court is powerless to do that” Meyer said. “Y ou have deprived your children of their mother, and that is unforgivable — and just as horr endous, you gave them a false hope that they would see her again. W orse, you also placed in their minds the thought that their mother had abandoned them.”

Meyer cr edited the police of ficers who had continued to work the case, including Troop B Bur eau of Criminal Investigations Capt. Robert LaFountain and then of fered his opinion, on the r ecord, for the par ole boar d that may hear Collard’s request eight years from now.

“Under no circumstance in my view should they ever let you out before you serve all of that 24 years,” Meyer said as Collar d looked dir ectly at him throughout the sentencing.

Sprague later said that while she was uncomfortable of fering a plea agr eement in the case, she did so at the r equest of the family.

“This will give the power back to Tammy and her family,” Sprague said.

As for Thomas Collard, he offered no statement as he was sentenced, but did say one thing as he was escorted fr om the courthouse.

“Just, I didn’t do it.”

Fundraiser set for local mother fighting cancer WARRENSBURG — A spaghetti dinner has been planned for April 16 to raise funds for Shannon W arne Fureno, a 1988 Warrensburg High School graduate who is facing financial stresses while she is undergoing treatment for stage IV brain cancer.

She is a single mother with two young childr en, and the money raised will be used for her medical and family expenses while she is under going radiation tr eatment and chemotherapy.

Her children are two boys, ages 12 and 8. The younger one was recently diagnosed with Type I diabetes.

The dinner is to be held fro m 4 to 6:30 p.m. Saturd ay, April 16 at the Masonic Temple, 3893 Main St. in Warrensburg.

The fundraiser is being or ganized by Deanne Peters and Michelle Morton, Fureno’s best friends and WCS Classmates in 1988.

“Our hope is that we can all work together to help alleviate some of the financial bur den for her and her family ,” Morton said in a press release.

An online donation site has been set up at: www.giveforward.com/shannonwarnefureno to also raise money . The Web site offers a venue for Morton and Peters to share news

on Fureno’s treatment Donations may also be made at any area branch of Glens Falls National Bank, in Fureno’s name.

As of Tuesday morning, the secure, accredited site had already collected $1,050 fr om nearly 20 donors for Fur eno’s cause.

“There ar e so many people jumping onto this and contributing alr eady,” Peters said. “And despite all her challenges, Shannon is so optimistic and concentrating on the care of her kids.”

A Facebook page, called Smiling for Shannon, has also been established, to share news and show support.

The cost of the dinner is $12 per person, and includes spaghetti, salad, br ead, drinks and dessert. T ake-out servings are available.

A raffle for various items donated by local businesses is to be held at 6:45 p.m. following the dinner . Those contributing to the raffle need not be present to win.

The items of fered in the raf fle include a baseball autographed by the Atlanta Braves’ Chipper Jones. Bracelets to show support for Fureno will be sold for $5 each.

Tickets may be purchased by calling Deanne Peters at 6234060 or Mickey Monroe at 623-2715.

Shannon Warne Fureno poses with her sons Drew, 12, and Brady, 8, recently. Fureno, a 1988 WCS graduate, is undergoing treatment for stage IV brain cancer, and a fundraiser has been set for April 16 at the Warrensburg Masonic Temple to help her with expenses not covered by medical insurance.

LAKE GEORGE — The str eetscape in downtown Lake George village will likely be less cluttered beginning this summer, following a decision reached Monday, April 4 by the village trustees.

The V illage Boar d authorized the pur chase of seven coin-fed digital pay-and-display parking meters for installation by mid-May along the west side of Canada Street.

The board also or dered an additional similar meter — which accepts cr edit car ds as well as coins — to be installed at the village’s boat docks.

Apparently the enfor cement of parking or dinances, criticized by some as over-aggressive, is likely to ease up.

Mayor Robert Blais said Monday that the number of parking enfor cement of ficers the village will have patr olling will be reduced from eight to five.

The board also talked of relaxing the enforcement, following comments by Village Board member and business owner Ray Perry, who said that he’s heard the meter-minders write tickets while drivers ar e ducking into a local shop to try to get change to feed the meters.

“The of ficers have to cut people some slack,” he said.

“They can’t be writing tickets while they see people moving toward them.”

Also, he suggested that the meter- minders “go easy” on parking during the off-season on back streets, when parking spaces ar e plentiful, in or der not to discourage tourism.

The new pay-and-display meters will r equire a person to go to a nearby parking kiosk, which digitally prints out a ticket, to be displayed in one’s windshield. These new kiosks may be upgraded at a later time to accept cr edit cards, so motorists don’t need to be armed for a handful of quarters.

The board decided to wait on the cr edit-card upgrade, citing they were concerned about the service fees on cre dit car ds, and r equired Internet connection. The cost of parking is $1 per hour for parking on the str eets and $2 per hour for boats at village docks.

Last summer, the village reaped $458,500 from parking meters, including about $337,000 from Canada Street. The village also collected $26,000 in parking fines, which are due to increase from $10 to $15 this summer.

NEWCOMB — Firefighters and rescue squad members in Newcomb r esponded to a call beyond the re aches of their traditional ambulance last weekend. A snowmobiler was injur ed during an accident and was r etrieved by Newcomb’s new snowbulance and later transported to Glens Falls Hospital with minor injuries.

Responders towed the specialized rescue unit — called a snowbulance — behind a snowmobile, down four miles of snow-covered trails, loaded the male victim onto the bed located inside and transported him to the ambulance waiting at the trailhead. The victim road in style with battery operated lights and heat.

The snowbulance was pur chased in early February with monies generated by a Fireman’s Fund Insurance Grant in the amount of $8200, accor ding to fir e department treasurer Wes Miga.

With the funds, the fir e department purchased the snowbulance for $5300 from Progressive Motorsports in Hudson Falls and used the r emainder towards a trailer to haul it. The snowmobile was pur chased pr eviously and is owned by the town of Newcomb for trail maintenance.

held the contract to operate the Gateway W elcome Center in Beekmantown and has provided visitor information and staffed the building since 1990.

When contacted April 1, ARTC Executive Dir ector Ron Ofner declined to comment on the funding until a new contract is signed.

The ARTC is the pr omotional or ganization for the counties of Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Hamilton, Lewis, Warren and part of St. Lawrence. Collectively, they promote the Adirondack Region as a vacation destination.

Each year , the W elcome Center served mor e than 100,000 visitors, r eceived more than 7,500 phone calls, mailed mor e than 50,000 guides upon r equest, and distributed 195,000 brochures.

The number of people served at the center support Douglas’ comments on the increased traf fic fr om the north. According to an ARTC press release in March 2010, December 2009 was the busiest December since the center opened, and the last two years wer e the busiest on r ecord since 1997. Mor e than 85 percent of those visitors were from Canada.

As the center ’s shutdown

was imminent, ARTC ended their comments with this question, “What type of message will be sent upon arrival at a boar ded up and closed ‘welcome’ center?

Sorry, New York state is closed.”

Now, with funding in place, the message will once again be, “New York state is open.”

“That is extr emely good news,” said Saranac Lake Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Dir ector Sylvie Nelson, a native of the province of Quebec. “That’s one place wher e we distribute our publication, the Saranac Lake V isitor Guide.”

When the Beekmantown center closed, it shut of f a major distribution channel for the Saranac Lake chamber, especially to travelers coming fr om the Montr eal area. Quebec r epresents the second largest population in Canada.

“They love to come down here,” Nelson said. “I’m glad that the state of New York r ecognizes tourism as an industry and that it is important to rural areas such as the Adirondacks.”

The 201 1-12 New York state budget went into effect April 1.
