This Week WARRENSBURG

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

LAKE GEORGE Ñ Those wanting to learn more about the new boat washing program on Lake George can visit a new website created through the Lake George Park Commission.

The website (lgboatinspections.com) is one of a variety of topics discussed during the commissionÕ s April 18 meeting at the Lake George Town Hall. Ò It is a site that is solely dedicated as an outreach piece to give people the information that they need,Ó Commission Executive Director David Wick said. Ò Emily DeBolt from the Lake George Association and the GovernorÕ s Office helped create the site. It will be constantly updated as things come up and people will be able to get their boat stickers from the site.Ó As far as the physical implementation of the six inspection sites, Wick said all sites were being prepared for May. Ò All of the sites will be up and running for the start of the season,Ó he said.

Along with preparing the sites is staffing. Wick told members of the Commission they had interviewed between 80 and 100 people for the position in their first week of finding.

WARRENSBURG Ñ The 21st annual Warren County Enviorthon took place April 23 at the Warrensburg Fish Hatchery.

High school students from Johnsburg, North Warren, Warrensburg, Glens Falls, Lake George and Hadley-Lake Luzerene participated in five environmental science-based

stations. They included aquatics, soil classification, forestry, local agriculture and wildlife.

Representing each school were three teams composing of five members each. Teams spent a designated amount of time at each activity with environmental and conservation experts from the Department of Environmental Conservation, Lake George Association, Cornell Cooperative Extension and Warresburg Fish Hatchery. Ò ItÕ s a great opportunity for these kids to network with

these professionals,Ó said Dean Moore, event coordinator. Ò They can ask questions and get contacts to help out in the future.Ó Ethan Frasier, a senior from North Warren, cited the Envirothon as a contributor to his love for science. Ò I was accepted to Paul SmithsÕ and I want to be a DEC officer locally or travel, I haven’t decided yet,” Frasier said.

Writing workshop scheduled

Derek and Dale Graven, 6 and 10, of North Caldwell stand ready to water a young American elm tree newly planted in front of Richards Library in celebration of Earth Day and Arbor Day. Their mother Maggie shovels fertilizer while Larry Collier holds the tree steady. The 12-foot disease-resistant elm came from the Elm Research Institute in Keene, N.H., and was donated by Warrensburgh Beautification, Inc. and the Warrensburgh Historical Society. It is part of Beautification’s goal of enhancing the appearance of the town and part of the Society’s historic preservation effort. Elm trees were once a major presence in the town’s landscape.

Bill Owens talks foreign trade

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com GLENS FALLS Ñ After talking recently with a local businessman who is successfully marketing American-made products overseas, U.S. Rep. Bill Owens has pledged to sponsor a workshop where area entrepreneurs can learn how to develop foreign trade.

Scott Schwartz, president of Hill Electric Supply Co. took time out of his workday April 23 to describe to Owens how his company has developed a business marketing not only electrical components and fixtures but a wide range of other products to clients in foreign countries.

Hill Electric is known in Glens Falls as an electrical fixture and component supply source for electricians and contractors, but through its overseas trade via the internet, Hill Electric sells a wide variety of goods Ñ from specialized industrial electrical components to toilets, turnstile parts, weed-whackers and tires.

Schwartz told Owens during a tour of his business on Broad St. that his enterprise, founded in 1948, launched a mail-order trade in the 1970s. Then in 1997, the firm started marketing its thousands of products over the Internet.

About two years later, overseas contractors began seeking the products in their inventory.

Hill ElectricÕ s business expanded further, when they were recognized as a trusted source providing timely service, Schwartz said. Increasingly, foreign firms asked for a wide variety of goods other than electric supplies, and Hill Electric employees began marketing goods manufactured or sold by other enterprises, said Lori Milford, Director of International Sales at Hill Electric. She and Schwartz noted that many businesses shy away from exporting because processing overseas orders can involve substantial paperwork and understanding of customs laws and procedures.

Schwartz said that attentive customer service including fast, efficient response, quick shipping is what has built his overseas trade to about $2 million annually, with shipments to 50 countries in the last three years.

A lot of the goods ordered get shipped to

Canada, Asia, Africa and Europe, Schwartz said. Recently, Hill Electric has shipped a large amount of supplies to a construction company building a sewage treatment plant for a hospital in Bermuda, he added. Ò Companies my size may not realize where their exporting opportunities are,Ó he said.

Schwartz said that he is interested in becoming more familiar with all the products manufactured in the Glens Falls region so he can have them readily available to ship to his foreign customers.

Owens responded that he would explore establishing a database or directory of goods made in upstate New York for the use of Schwartz and other area exporters.

Also, Owens said heÕ d be setting up a Ò roundtableÓ seminar within several months for businesses seeking to pursue or expand their foreign trade. Schwartz offered to instruct at the event, presenting tips on successful overseas trade for small businesses. Owens said he might be inviting representatives of freight companies and customs brokers to offer their tips as well. Ò I see this roundtable as an informal gettogether of people interested Ñ or should be interested Ñ in exporting,Ó he said.

ABOVE: Hill Electric Supply Co. President Scott Schwartz (left) pauses during a tour of his firm’s Glens Falls warehouse to discuss his success in exporting overseas with U.S. Rep. Bill Owens (right).

Owens said he intends to hold a roundtable workshop on exporting to boost revenue for small businesses in the region. Participating in the tour and discussion was Lori Milford (rear), Hill Electric’s Director of International Sales.

Pirate Blue Team with the Honorable Mention Certificates. Pictured from left to right are Jacqueline O’Donnell, Jessica Fahey, Maria Holder, Jennifer Crowe and Ashley Duvalle.

O’Donnell earns merit

BOLTON Ñ Bolton resident and Seton Hall University student Jacqueline OÕ Donnell achieved honorable mention in the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) 2014 Bateman Competition, which was announced Tuesday, April 15.

The PRSSA Bateman Competition is a national contest for public relations students requiring participants to research, plan, execute and evaluate a fully integrated marketing communications plan for an assigned client. The competition began in November when the client was announced and students are given the month of February to complete all programming. The final campaign was due at the end of March. Only students who show a deep understanding of strategic public relations are chosen to be on the Bateman teams.

O’Donnell was one of five members of the Pirate Blue team, one of two teams representing Seton Hall University, where she studies public relations. The 2014 competition client was Popmoney, a service provided by Fiserv, which is a digital person-to-person payment service.

The Pirate Blue team executed a campaign establishing a campus representative program for Popmoney and utilized social media to reach the target demographic of college-aged students. Becoming the first campus representatives for Popmoney, the Pirate Blue team partnered with Dunkin’ Donuts, six on-campus clubs and organizations, and engaged 120 students who took the Ò Pledge to Pop.Ó OÕ DonnellÕ s team further branded Popmoney, created a hashtag (#PledgeToPop), and introduced it as an alternative solution to a generation who decreasingly carries cash.

Y

For Sale: Act III

ou may have seen yellow signs dotting the landscape. Those are auction notices for the abandoned houses and empty lots seized by Essex County for failure to pay taxes.

By the time you read this, the county will have had a tax auction on April 30, the first since 2008, in an attempt to put these properties back into private hands.

Officials are optimistic that the 130-some-odd properties and parcels will be placed back on the tax rolls, thus generating much-needed income for cash-strapped municipalities and relieving towns of the liabilities and stigmas that are associated with these painful reminders of rural blight.

We hope the properties sell, preferably to young people, business owners and other forward-looking folks who will be net assets to these communities, from Moriah to Wilmington.

The county is ailing on just about every metric Ñ its problems are well-documented and we neednÕ t revisit them here Ñ and most of these towns desperately need the income to sustain even the most basic services.

But while weÕ d love to join in on the optimism, weÕ re alarmed at what we perceive to be a lack of contingency planning for what happens if these parcels, which range from the downright dreadful to the merely rustic on the march towards rehabilitation, fail to find buyers.

Local officials just don’t have a Plan B. Moreover, they assume that in the event these properties are sold and placed back on the tax rolls, which are already stagnant as a result of the state-mandated cap, then weÕ ll all live happily ever after and we can turn our attention to other things.

We donÕ t feel that way.

In the event that the bottom drops out of this auction, and we have good reason to be feeling pessimistic after the steady drumbeat of rotten news all winter, itÕ s worth exploring additional options to ensure public discussion continues after the auctioneerÕ s gavel rises and falls.

Look outward. Know what an EB-5 is? We do.

ItÕ s a federal immigration program that fast tracks the visa process for foreign investors in regional centers that are designated by the feds as areas to promote rural economic growth. Among other criteria, applicants must pledge to invest at least $1 million in something called Òt argeted employment areas.” Those are defined as rural areas experiencing unemployment of at least 150 percent of the national average rate, among other factors. Guess what the North Country has?

May 3, 2014

Clean air, open land and a targeted employment area. Guess what Mainland China doesnÕ t have?

None of the above. Eighty percent of these EB-5 visas are awarded to Chinese nationals seeking investment opportunities in more favorable climes. This might be worth exploring for something as large as, say, the former Frontier Town lot in North Hudson thatÕ s been moldering into the ground for the better part of two decades, the neglect of which is a slap in the face to American ingenuity.

Build on trends. The farm-to-fork movement that emphasizes regionally-grown products to promote health and sustainability is a growing trend that reflects America’s desire for food products that arenÕ t manufactured in industrial complexes off the New Jersey Turnpike. Essex County is in a prime position to take advantage of this new phase in public consciousness with pockets of rich farmland and access to shipping routes that can zip fresh products, from veggies to syrup to microbrews, to eager regional buyers. A dependence on tourism shouldnÕ t be the regionÕ s permanent Hail Mary pass when it comes to economic development and it might not be a bad idea to look past the short term gain of putting some of these mid-sized houses back on the tax rolls Ñ or selling off empty parcels for residential development Ñ in favor of a longer agricultural game with these trends in mind.

Repurpose. We havenÕ t studied the dynamics of each structure in the auction and are unfamiliar with the status of each building. For those that are sturdy and sound and not teeming with nefarious Mad Max-type characters that would necessitate hitting the auto-destruct button, the county would do well to immediately put some of them to use, if not only temporarily and in trial programs. Zoning is a crapshoot in the North Country and it doesnÕ t seem entirely unfeasible that with the right amount of tax breaks, grant searching and community incentives, some of these properties Ñ or even empty parcels Ñ can be repurposed for short-term uses that can benefit the community, from teen recreational centers to wi-fi hotspots for seasonal residents, as officials map out a long-term roadmap for the future.

If Act I for these structures was their birth, and Act II was their prolonged period of decline and neglect, we hope that Act III will be by characterized by lawmakers working together, political differences aside, to ensure each vacant lot and empty structure wonÕ t equate to missed possibilities, but rather untapped opportunities.

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden

One Hundred Years Ago – May, 1914 Lamp explosion causes fire

Amos AustinÕ s tenant house on Oak Street, Warrensburgh, occupied by Miss K. Lillian Ross and her mother, Mrs. Mary Ross was destroyed by fire around midnight, Tuesday night, May 12, 1914 together with all of its contents. The building was valued at about $1,700 and was insured for $1,000. Miss Ross had $1,000 insurance for her household goods.

Miss Ross had been preparing to move the next day before the fire into Mrs. Minnie Jarvis’ house downtown and most of her furniture was ready to be loaded. Her mother had gone away to remain until moving was completed and she was to spend the night alone in the house.

About 10 oÕ clock she went downtown to make some arrangements in the other house and left a kerosene lamp burning, expecting to return in a short time. It is believed that the lamp exploded while she was away and set fire to the house.

Two young men returning from a party discovered the fire. The flames had then gained such headway that the building was doomed to destruction, also its contents, as it was unsafe to enter the structure. The young men awoke the neighborhood with their lusty shouts and an alarm was also sounded by the bell of the Methodist Church. The nearest fire hydrant was near the post office and a garden hose was all that was available for use in protecting adjoining buildings, the nearest to which are the barns of K.V. and Bertrum E. Whittemore. That those were saved was due entirely to the valiant efforts of a number of men to whom the WhittemoreÕ s are very grateful.

River teaches man a lesson

A spirit of daring and a pair of hip rubber boots nearly caused the death by drowning of Peter Dacy on Monday, May 11, 1914 at Starbuckville.

Mr. Dacy, who is a machinist in the plant of the Schroon River Pulp and Paper Company, at Burnhamville, went up the river to place brackets on the dam at that point. In performing the task the usual procedure is to go out in a boat held by a rope from the shore. Pete thought he could wade out on the dam and do it. When he got there the swift water carried him over the apron and his boots filled with water and so impeded his movements that it was with the greatest difficulty that he kicked himself out from under the waterfall to a point where Frank Smith, of Riverbank and Patrick McCarthy, of Horicon, could reach him in a boat, which they ran through one of the sluiceways.

Mr. Dacy was nearly exhausted when rescued

from his perilous plight and probably educated to such an extent that it will deter him from future stunts with the resistless force of swift raging spring freshets of Schroon River water.

Steamboat man nearly drowns

Captain Harvey Crandall, of Lake George, a veteran steamboat man, who is said to be near the age of 91, while fishing from a roundbottom boat near the Fort William Henry Hotel dock Thursday afternoon, leaned too far to one side to bait his hook and in an instant was in the water clinging to an overturned boat which was sinking rapidly under his weight, and crying lustily for help.

Arthur Finkle, a Lake George youth, standing with a companion on the D.& H. steamboat wharf and watching the Mohican round the bend at Assembly Point, heard the old manÕ s cries and without an instantÕ s hesitation, besides to remove his coat and shoes, plunged into the lake and swam to the rescue. Being an expert swimmer he covered the distance quickly and after five minutes hard work, succeeded in completing his brave act by getting the old man to shore, undoubtedly saving him from a cold watery grave.

Captain Crandall was the owner and captain of the first steam yacht placed on Lake George, the Julia, which was brought to the lake from New York about 40 years ago, one of the three steamers on the lake, the others being the Minnehaha (Laughing Water), a side wheeler and the Ganouskie, a propeller. There are now more than 700 boats on the lake. (Note Ð Old newspaper articles contradict themselves on the history of the first steamboats on Lake George. I believe that the first steam “boat” on Lake George was built in 1813 and was named the Ò James Caldwell,Ó which plied the waters of Lake George, commanded by Captain Winans, from 1816 to 1820. After that was Ò MountaineerÓ , built in 1824, the Ò William CaldwellÓ came along in 1833. The steam Ò yachtÓ Julia, according to photographer Seneca Ray Stoddard, commanded by Captain Moses Finkle, was not put into the water until 1874 and was held at the Lake House subject for charter. Next week I will tell you about how poor Captain Crandall endeavored to save face after his embarrassing dunking in Lake George.)

Sagamore insurance paid

Through the agency of Charles W. Cool, of Glens Falls, the insurance on the fire loss sustained by the burning of the Sagamore Hotel, at Bolton Landing, was adjusted and paid May 13, 1914 to the owners of the property, who were represented by John Boulton Simpson and T. Edward Krumbholz, both of New York.

The loss was paid in the full amount of the insurance carried, which was $159,000. (Note Ð The story of this horrific fire, on April 14, 1914, that destroyed the palatial 350 room Sagamore Hotel on Lake George, was told in this column on April 5, 2014 in the Adirondack Journal.)

Little dog mourned

H.C. Ingraham, of Landon Hill, Pottersville, with the help of three men, drove four head of young cattle to his Igerna pasture, Saturday, May 9, 1914. He greatly missed the help of his faithful old dog Fido who was killed last fall as he and Fido had always driven them alone for many years.

A good Thurman man dies

William Hack, 74, a highly respected citizen of Thurman, died there at his home on Sunday morning, April 26, 1914 after an illness of eleven weeks. He had lived in Thurman for some 40 years. Mr. Hack was a good man, a man of unquestioned integrity and uprightness in his business relation and unassuming and devout in his religious life after he was united many years ago with the Thurman Baptist Church where he was an honored deacon.

He was twice married, his first wife being Miss Elizabeth Hall and they had two daughters. About fifteen years ago his wife died and he later married Mrs. Marie Germain of Thurman who survives him. His sister is Mrs. James Bennett.

Letters to the Editor

Just a cycle To the Adirondack Journal: ÒT he farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to seeÓ Ð Winston Churchill, Nobel Laureate in Literature (history).

The story of climate change is one of continual cyclical change.

Multi-decade cycles occur within millennial-scale cycles, which are super-imposed on 100,000-year cycles. For example, temperatures warmed from the mid-1800s to 1880, cooled for 30 years, warmed from1910 to 1940, ran cooler for 35 years, warmer for 20 years, then cooler for the last 17 years. These multi-decade oscillations are part of the Modern Warming Period and correlate with solar activity, not CO2; the cooler periods confound climate alarmistsÕ computer models, occurring despite rising CO2.

Looking back in time from the Modern Warming Period, millennial-scale warm/cool cycles were: Little Ice Age, Medieval Optimum, Dark Ages cooling, Roman Warm Period, Grecian Cool Period, Minoan Optimum, etc. Google them. The warm periods were warmer than today; weÕ re still a few degrees Fahrenheit below the 4,000-year average.

The Little Ice Age was defined by four especially cold multi-decade periods during which sun spots were infrequent Ð there were almost no sun spots during the 70-year Maunder Minimum (16451715) and very few during the Dalton Minimum (1790-1820). Sun spots have been counted ever since 1610-1612 when Fabricius, Galileo, and Harriot began observing them. Isotopes also reveal that solar activity correlated with millennial-scale cycles.

During the Medieval Optimum 1,000 years ago, mountain glaciers in Europe retreated up-valley; Vikings settled and farmed in Greenland - the ice had receded far more than today Ð but they abandoned the colony after several centuries due to the onset of the Little Ice Age in the 14th century; and mountain glaciers advanced again down their valleys, burying settlements, farms, and mines that had to be abandoned. Ice fairs were held regularly on the Thames in winter during the Dalton Minimum. WeÕ ve been emerging naturally from the Little Ice Age for 200 years.

ClimateReality programs omit discussion of multi-decade and millennial-scale cycles, which would defeat GoreÕ s purpose of persuading people that CO2 affects the climate and is causing catastrophic warming. ClimateReality programs especially donÕ t mention the 1940-1977 cooling period or the current 17year cooling period. Both have occurred despite increasing at-

mospheric CO2.

Evidence is lacking that our contemporary climate change is other than a continuation of normal multi-decade and millennial-scale cycles. GoreÕ s programs assert CO2Õ s effect not by evidence, but by innuendo, implication, and scare-mongering - psychologically effective, but scientifically meritless.

Disappointed with cartoon To the Adirondack Journal: I was very disappointed with your cartoon (April 12 issue) suggesting that while Big Corporation execs disregard their employees in the interest of profits and huge salaries and benefits for themselves, the Ò bad guysÓ are public employees. There is a serious disconnect here & media such as this contributes greatly to unfair & inappropriate animosities toward public employees. With the exception of politicians, public employees earn a fraction of what someone with the same education would earn in private business. It is their pension that helps balance this out.

Regarding our federal elected officials, serving one term in Congress gets them a lifetime pension.

Corporate execs, who continue to take in their multimillion dollar salaries plus untold benefits, seem to have little if any, concern for employees who have often dedicated their lives to the company. Have we already forgotten the recent recession when home owners lost their homes, employees lost their jobs & pensions, while bank and corporate execs kept their outrageous salaries, bonuses, multiple homes and more?

How about a cartoon, or article showing where the true blame lies?

Judy Beers Lake George

Fracking can help To the Adirondack Journal: The paperÕ s opposition to fracking, like its support of Greenism generally, is ignorant and destructive of the wellbeing of citizens of the North Country. Fracking, like every other form of resource development today, is managed in such a way as to minimize environmental damage and maximize benefits.

Greens, overwhelmingly upper middle class, are opposed to development, but most of the North CountryÕ s residents want to see prosperity return to the area, and fracking is a great way to do it, as Texas and North Dakota show.

Remember climate scientist Richard LindzenÕ s declaration: It would appear that the privileged members of the global society regard as dogma that the rest of humanity is a blight on the planet, and all efforts should be devoted to preventing their economic improvement and development.

The donations total $10,238.

The funds for these donations are raised through various events throughout the year. The next event to be held is the Tricky Tray on Friday, May 2, at the Nursing & Rehab Center, 112 Ski Bowl Road, North Creek. Tricky Tray is a table auction with many baskets and items available. There are also drawings held. It is a fun filled evening. Ticket sales start at 6 p.m. and the drawings start at 7 p.m.

Area leaders ask Sen. Gillibrand for help in boosting economic growth initiatives

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY Ñ Infrastructure development and small-business marketing in the southern Adirondack region were the primary topics as area business and community leaders shared their ideas on how to boost local prosperity with U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand in a roundtable discussion held Wednesday April 16 at SUNY Adirondack.

Warrensburg Supervisor Kevin Geraghty Ñ who serves as chairman of the Warren County Board of Supervisors Ñ said that expansion and upgrades of municipal infrastructure, including road repair and reconstruction, were a primary concern to municipalities regionally.

Queensbury Supervisor John Strough made a similar point, noting that expansion of water and sewer systems were vital to attracting industries and creating jobs. Ò Our greatest need is to expand infrastructure to allow greater business, commercial and industrial growth,Ó Strough said.

Observing that a recent federal study concluded that Warren County needed $100 million in wastewater system upgrades, Gillibrand noted sheÕ s co-sponsoring a bill that would expedite the movement of federal money to states to bankroll low-interest loans on municipal infrastructure construction.

Warren County EDC President Ed Bartholomew also noted the infrastructure needs of the region, noting not only aging water and wastewater systems, but the need for broadband access in Northern and central Warren County as well as Washington County.

Bartholomew also asked Gillibrand for her support in transferring the General Electric manufacturing plant property in Fort Edward, totalling 38 acres, to a third party soon after the company vacates it, so it can be redeveloped quicker. General Electric officials have announced their intent to shut down their Fort Edward manufacturing plant early next year, causing the loss of 200 local jobs.

Both Bartholomew and Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce president Peter Aust asked Gillibrand for her help in bringing a new hockey team to Glens Falls. This is the Adirondack PhantomsÕ last season as the pri-

During an area economic development roundtable discussion held April 16 at SUNY Adirondack, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (center) tells area political and business leaders how small businesses in the region can seek financing help from the federal Export-Import Bank to aid them expand their sales to foreign countries.

Participating in the roundtable event were SUNY Adirondack President Kristine Duffy (left) and EDC Warren County President Ed Bartholomew (right) mary tenant in the Glens Falls Civic Center. The Phantoms, an AHL team, are relocating to Allentown, Pa. Ò The Glens Falls Civic Center plays an important role in the cultural, entertainment and sports activities of our citizens,Ó Aust said.

Gillibrand responded that she was well aware of the civic centerÕ s local prominence, as she had as a teenager attended her first rock concert there, witnessing The Clash perform.

She responded that she would support efforts to attract a new ice hockey team.

Gillibrand noted that local businesses could be helped out by taking advantage of programs of the federal Export-Import Bank, which offers small businesses pre-payment of the cost of producing goods scheduled for international sale, provides loan guarantees for business expansion, and can grant loans to international customers of U.S. small businesses so they can pay for shipments of goods produced here in the U.S. She said she had explained such opportunities at a roundtable event in Plattsburgh, and was willing to present one in the Glens Falls area.

Howard Nelson of Hudson Headwaters Health Network to Gillibrand he appreciated her support in obtaining a $5 million federal grant for the construction of the new Warrensburg Health Center, the hub of the network of health clinics. He noted that when Gillibrand was a congresswoman before she was elected to the U.S. Senate, Hudson Headwaters had 12 health centers and a staff of 475 Ñ and that now HHHN has 16 health centers employing 650 people.

Geraghty said that Warrensburg had been Ò very fortunateÓ not only in hosting HHHNÕ s new federally-funded health center, but also in receiving federal money through the Safe Routes to School program that was paying for new sidewalks in Warrensburg.

Gillibrand responded that local municipalities that research grant opportunities and pursue them are more likely to obtain money they need for infrastructure. Ò The more shots on goal, the more you score,Ó she said.

Laura Oswald, Director of Economic Development for Washington County, noted that several communities in the county had been

battered in recent years by storms that created so much damage they were crippling local economies. Oswald noted that six businesses in Salem had closed down recently, primarily due to the damage caused to local infrastructure.

She asked Gillibrand to expand the eligibility guidelines to obtain federal tax credits for preserving or rehabilitating historic structures Ñ allowing for clusters of historic properties to make a single application. Gillibrand responded that she would work on the issue.

Mitch Amado, Chief Financial Officer of Glens Falls Hospital, told Gillibrand that his institution, the regionÕ s largest private employer, was enduring economic stresses. He said the hospital has lost 2,500 admissions over the past two years. The hospital’s financial troubles started in 2012, when it spent $12 million more than its revenue. Ò Changes in health care are coming fast and furious, and weÕ re struggling with the situation,Ó he said, noting that the prevailing new emphasis on disease prevention and primary care were reducing the hospitalÕ s patient population dramatically. Ò WeÕ re looking for transition funding to help close the gap.Ó He also asked for Gillibrand to look into helping line up educational grants to help train people in the area to become Physician Assistants and Nurse Practicioners, whoÕ d be focused on community-based preventive care.

SUNY Adirondack President Kristine Duffy outlined the new initiatives being pursued by the community college, including increasing the collegeÕ s programs in technology, health care, advanced manufacturing and science, as well as seeking grant funding to expand academic facilities. The college has recently applied for a $20 million state grant to pay for about twothirds of the cost of a new 70,000-square-foot building to host the new programs.

Gillibrand said she supported the collegeÕ s new initiatives. Ò WeÕ ll work hard to accomplish all your goals,Ó she said to Duffy.

After the meeting, Bartholomew said the meeting was a productive extension of existing political dialogue. Ò Kirsten Gillibrand and her staff members are in constant communication with various municipal officials in the region,” he said.

Ball Gowns for breast cancer Innaugrual ‘Mom Prom’ planned for May 3

By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

LAKE GEORGE — The first annual Mom Prom will be held Saturday, May 3, 7 to 11 p.m., at the Towers Hall of the Fort William Henry Hotel And Conference Center.

Mom Prom was first established in Canton, Mich., by Besty Crapps as a fundraising measure for a local homeless shelter. Mom PromsÕ aim is for ladies 21 and older to dust off the prom or wedding dresses that are languishing in the back of closets and under beds, and zip them back on for charitable causes.

Gretchen Lovering attended the Saratoga Mom Prom in 2013, and now with the support of friends and family is coordinating the Lake George event to support CindyÕ s Comfort Care Camp and the Uniquely You Salon And Boutique.

CindyÕ s Comfort Care Camp is a free weekend overnight camp for kids 6-17 years of age, whose lives have been directly effected by a parent with terminal illness. It hosts both a suffering and loss camp, where campers are matched with a ÒB ig BuddyÓ to provide them an array of

Paul Matson: North Warren Chamber VIP

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN Ñ For the past 12 years, Paul Matson has been running Garnet Signs in Chestertown, helping make local businesses more visible.

Matson has also been helping local non-profits and municipalities, as well, creating signs and banners for events and public buildings at minimal charge.

For that, Matson has been named as the North Warren Chamber of Commerce VIP for 2014. Ò I try to give people good deals when it comes to community groups,Ó Matson said. Ò Stuff like that is important. We have to support the people who do so much for our community and put in a lot of volunteer time, which is basically another job for them. I want to make sure that I help out these local groups and organizations.Ó Matson said he sees the work people in the community do to help Ò spruce up,Ó the town and region, and he wanted to use his talents to help in that process. Ò A lot of people do a lot more than I do,Ó he said. Ò Humbled does not seem to be the right word, but I am very appreciative of this award. I canÕ t take full responsibility because I have others who work here with me and I think highly of everyone in this town.Ó Matson has spent 24 years in the sign business, starting Garnet Signs 12 years ago after tiring of traveling downstate. Ò I like living in rural areas,Ó he said. Ò My brother and I had a sign shop in Waterford and for 12 years I would commute there and one day I just said I was tired of that.Ó Since, he as been applying his trade throughout the North Warren region. Ò If it has letters on it, we do it,Ó he said about his business.

Matson will be honored during the May 7 celebration dinner at JimboÕ s Club at the Point in Brant Lake beginning 6 p.m.

The gallery has been awarded with the 2014 North Warren Chamber of CommerceÕ s Small Business of the Year and will be honored during the May 7 celebration dinner at JimboÕ s Club at the Point in Brant Lake beginning 6 p.m. Ò I was very surprised and delighted by the award,Ó said Fred Holman, President of the North Country Arts Center and gallery manager. “I think that it shows what the role of a non-profit can be in the North Country.

Holman said the Art in Chestertown Gallery was started as a way to promote local artists and bring them back into the community. Ò The arts association began in Warrensburg in the 1970Õ s and eventually we moved to Glens Falls,Ó Holman said. Ò We were looking for a way to get back into the North Country and the

idea was to have a show in one of the storefronts.Ó The first show started with 25 artists and ran for six weeks. Ò By the end, we had 42 artists in and they didnÕ t want us to stop,Ó Holman said. Ò The community didnÕ t want us to stop. We ended with three shows that year and we are now to the point where we have seven shows a year.Ó The season starts with a student art show, which will host an opening reception May 2 from 6 to 8 p.m.

Hours for the gallery are from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekends until June 14, when hours will be from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays.

For more information on the Arts in Chestertown Gallery, visit northcountryartscenter.org, or email northcountryartscenter@ gmail.com.

North Warren Chamber event set CHESTERTOWN Ñ The North Warren Chamber has announced the winners of its two coveted awards.

His latest creation is a rendition of Dynamite HillÕ s mascot, Ò Sparky the Snowman,Ó which will soon be installed at the bottom of the road leading to the TownÕ s recreation ski and bike area.

Growing young again

I

nstead of wasting time waiting for the ponds to open up; I decided to travel home to Elizabethtown for the weekend to visit a few of the old fishing holes from my younger

days.

Although I tend to spend a majority of my time fishing the ponds; I’ve always been a river walker. I enjoy the flows more than flat waters, as the scent of a stream is ever changing and it is addictive.

On the ponds, you can pretty much see it all from one location. The waters are flat or choppy, or somewhere in between; but there is no much variation.

Sure, there are fluctuations in foliage, down trees, steep banks and other natural factors that give different ponds their character; but for the most part, a pond is a pond, what you see is what you get.

But on the river, and especially on the small streams, the scene is always in motion, ever flowing, and wandering along. There is life everywhere, in the trees on the riverbanks, in the air, and under the river rocks where the crayfish hide. And it seems you

can never capture it all, just a glimpse and itÕ s gone.

In the dark, hemlock forested reaches of the rivers, the waters take on an ominous odor that scents the air, and the land. It is a primordial scent that always transports me back to my younger days.

The waters, darkened by the shade, provide safe safe sanitary for the trout, even in mid stream. Their quick darting movements are difficult to decipher, unless a shaft of sun captures their shadow.

Often they would hide, invisible among the long logs, the tangled roots and the rubble of the riverbank. I tried to entice them to venture forth and sip a dry fly from the surface, but the brookies were skittish, and the waters were cold.

These waters were the playgrounds of my youth, they were the only waters within walking or biking distance of town.

So too, were the surrounding hills, Little Buck, Wood Hill, Raven, and Cobble Hill. IÕ ve climbed them all numerous times, and I still canÕ t get enough.

And as I stared at them from the valley floor, I couldn’t resist the urge to visit them again. Since the trout werenÕ t cooperating; I decided to take some time away from the grind in order to tackle a few of the smaller hills, and to let the trout settle a bit.

I had come home to chase some trout, and in the process, to recover some of the excitement of of my youth. I climbed the

hills again, and I looked down on my old small town.

I hiked the ridges, and visited our old campsites. I climbed the cliffs and discovered a few more mountaintop antennas.

(ItÕ s always surprising to see just how far some folks will go to get television reception, not to mention the cost of stringing half a mile of antenna wire up the side of a cliff.)

Elizabethtown has remained pretty much the same as it was in my youth, just like many of the small, non-touristy Adirondack towns. It really hasnÕ t changed much over the years.

There are a few more buildings, fewer families, and a surprising number of new homes situated on the hillsides surrounding the Pleasant Valley.

The mountains havenÕ t moved much. Giant of the Valley still looms to the south west, and Hurricane still sports itÕ s Fire tower, as proud as ever.

I walk the sidewalks and still know most of the folks I meet; even though IÕ ve been gone and many years removed.

One evening, I ran into a former classmate at the local Grand Union. We hadnÕ t seen each other for many years, and he reminded me this year would be our 40th class reunion. Ò Forty years?Ó , I asked incredulously. Ò Are you sure?Ó I started running the numbers through my mind, and sure enough, he was right! Ò Damn,Ó I mumbled under my breath, Ò So many trout, and so little time left.Ó I thought about his remark as I waked back to the house. It was a very difficult pill to swallow. Ò Another place, another town,Ó I muttered to no one in particular. Ò NowÕ s not the time to dwell on such matters. There are still trout to be found, and plenty of ground I need to pound. I need not worry about it at all right now.Ó The following morning I caught my first brook trout of the new season. It fell for a dry fly that I had skittered under an overhanging stream bank, in my old back yard. I was not surprised in the least.

The little brook has always produced trout, even though it winds itÕ s way right through the middle of town. It is rarely fished, and often overlooked by anglers seeking bigger waters and larger fish I was just as excited at the age of 58, as I was at the age of 8 and an hour later I still had a silly smirk on my face.

Any fish taken on the fly is a trophy, and if you want more, sometimes it pays to wish for a little less. And while I may never be able to truly go home again, it sure is nice to shed the restrictions of age, and walk in the footprints of my youth every once in a while.

Next year, IÕ ll be back. Though IÕ ll be another year older, IÕ ll fish as if I’m still nine years old and I’ll drift a fly right by that overhung bank again! I can wait.
