Pottersville church to install new pastor POTTERSVILLE — A relatively new chur ch with deep r oots in the community will soon have new leadership.

The Rev . Benjamin G. Bahr is to be installed as pastor at 2 p.m. Satur day, May 28 at the Holy Trinity Lutheran Chur ch, located on the grounds of the former SonRise Lutheran Ministries, 8260 Route 9, Pottersville.

The chur ch welcomed Bahr and his family to Pottersville during their r ecent Easter service.

The installation service will include a r ecognition of the camp, which existed on the pr operty since 1963. In the beginning it was called Camp of the Pines and was a summer operation serving children campers and families. Later the name was changed to SonRise Lutheran Camp when it became a year -round r etreat center and camp.

Pastor Bahr ’s last congregation was in Baton Rouge, La. He is a former staff member at Camp SonRise. He met his wife, Lacey, when the two worked at the camp in the late 1990s.

HORICON — While citizens of various countries celebrated the May 1 death of Osama bin Laden, Patricia Frasco of Horicon was more reflective about the killing of the mastermind of the Sept. 1 1, 2001 terr orist attacks that killed thousands of Americans.

It was 3,520 days ago that Frasco’s brother — Michael Iken, a handsome, happy-go-lucky bond br oker — was killed when the second terrorist-piloted airplane plowed See 9/11 REMEMBERED, page 7

State asks town to recover $234,000 NY Comptroller’s audit uncovers extra stipends to certain town of Lake George employees

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — The state Comptr oller ’s Of fice has asked the town of Lake George to recover a total of $234,000 in special stipends that wer e paid out over the past five years to 16 town employees — stipends not appr oved by a formal board vote — but town off icials insist the employees earned the pay and they should keep it.

Between January and Mar ch, two auditors fr om the Comptroller ’s Of fice examined the finances and books of the town, and they made 17 suggested changes to the way payroll and finances have been handled. Those findings were sent r ecently to the town government. A formal state audit report is due to be published this week or next, Comptroller ’s Office spokesman Bill Reynolds said Tuesday.

Town Supervisor Frank McCoy said Friday that 16 of the 17 suggestions had been implemented already.

Storms cause widespread, heavy flooding

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Persistent rain late last week fed raging rivers throughout Warren County, pr ompting widespr ead flooding.

States of emergency were declared Thursday in the towns of Johnsbur g and Chester Thursday April 8 after the Hudson River reportedly reached a record level. Flows in the Hudson wer e r eported at 10 times normal volume, or 30,000 cubic feet per second, according to Warren County Public Works Superintendent Jeff Tennyson. He said the river flows on Thursday were twice the normal annual high volume.

The flooding, some of the worst in r ecent decades, closed a half-dozen low-lying roads in the region that were underwater, he said.

“This is a massive amount of water, much more than normal, especially with no ice jams,” Tennyson said.

One woman in Pottersville was evacuated by boat, and a dozen or mor e homes in the towns of Luzerne and Hadley were flooded, as wer e pr operties in Stony Cr eek, North Creek and elsewhere along the Hudson and Schroon Rivers.

In North Creek on Thursday April 28, the rail station serving the county railway was flooded, including a locomotive turntable.

Nearby, the Kellogg pr operty with a r ow of historic buildings were also flooded. The access road to the rail station was closed, as it was underwater.

Old River Road in Chester near North Creek was under four feet of water , cutting off a number of homes fr om transportation.

Nearby, the water was flowing 15 feet deep at the Rte. 28N bridge.

In Johnsbur g, Thirteenth Lake Road was closed after heavy rains washed debris into culverts, clogging them up and causing roads to wash out in several places, T ennyson said.

State T rooper Jarr od Bowman of the Chester substation pr esided over an evacuation by boat of an elderly woman from her home on Valley Farm Road in Pottersville.

A neighbor of the woman provided a flatbottomed boat, and he and a r elative of the woman and Bowman r escued the woman from her home — wher e she lived alone — which was surr ounded by rising waters of the nearby Schroon River. Bowman had been called by the woman’s daughter , a Clifton Park resident. Area rescue squads assisted at the scene, Bowman said.

an Lake due to water covering both lanes of traffic. Johnsburg Supervisor Sterling Goodspeed said he had never seen this happen in his lifetime.

Areas of Thousand Acres Golf Course in Stony Cr eek and Cr onin’s Golf Course in Warrensburg wer e underwater mid-day on April 28. Low-lying pr operties near Thousand Acres Resort were flooded extensively, and the Stony Creek-Warrensburg Road was blocked of f mid-morning. Crazy Cr eek Campground near Camer on Road near Thousand Acres was under a foot of water , Tennyson said.

Some pr operties along Schr oon River Road and East Schroon River Road were also flooded, including some homes. An area of particular concern was at the northern end of Schr oon River Road near the Glendale Bridge near the hamlet of Pottersville, T ennyson said.

Although the floodwaters dismayed or worried many, some local rafters wer e apparently quite happy. A raft and two kayaks made the trip from North Creek to The Glen this afternoon, and witnesses said they cheered as they passed by.

High winds accompanying the rains

brought down tr ees throughout the county, some landing on roadways.

Tennyson said the raging flows wer e threatening to scour the abutments of several smaller bridges — with shallow foundations — and county employees wer e watching them to monitor their safety.

Bridges most vulnerable to flood damage, he said, wer e the Crane Mountain Road Bridge and the Back to Sodom Road Bridge and the Claude Straight Bridge, all in Johnsburg, and the Adirondack Road Bridge over Mill Brook in Chester.

Tennyson said county workers wer e also

surveying the county railr oad, making sur e no culverts were blocking up, so costly track washouts could be avoided.

He said highway workers wer e busy throughout the county for the past 24 hours inspecting roadways and infrastructure.

“At this point we’r e chasing it,” he said.

“We’re hoping the rain subsides so we can start reconstruction,” he said.

By late Thursday afternoon, however, the threat of further flooding subsided after the rain ceased.

Coleman lamp collectors choose Lake George for convention

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — For years, the r esort village of Lake Geor ge has hosted some unusual conventions — like one celebrating Polynesian-pop artifacts — and now a new special-inter est group with national pr ominence is seeking to call Lake George home.

A world-wide or ganization of collectors of pressurized-gas appliances has chosen Lake Geor ge V illage as the site for its 2012 convention.

The International Cole-

man Collectors Club is now making arrangements to hold its 2012 convention at Fort W illiam Henry Resort in Lake George from June 28 through 30, 2012, and hundreds of gas-lamp fans from across the globe ar e anticipated to attend. Club members attending past international conventions have come fr om as far away as Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, and England. The group has a large contingent in Canada, as well as many Amish members from Pennsylvania and Ohio.

In prior years, the group’s convention has been traditionally held in the midwest

U.S. and Pacific northwest — and this would be the first time ever for the northeastern U.S., club of ficials said Monday.

Stephen and Robin Miller of Queensbury, members of the gr oup, ar e or ganizing the thr ee-day event, which includes a gas-appliance expo, dozens of vendors, demonstrations, an auction of vintage appliances, and seminars on Coleman lamp history, collecting, and r epair.

“We thought that W arren County would be ideal to host this convention, because a lot of Coleman collectors ar e history buf fs,”

Members of the International Coleman Collectors Club participate in a lamp light-up event during a recent convention in Kansas which drew gas lantern enthusiasts from around the globe. The group, with hundreds of members, has chosen Lake George for its 2012 convention.

Stephen Miller said, noting the ar ea’s historical attractions including Fort William Henry, the Saratoga battlegrounds and Fort Ticonderoga.

Last week, Lake Geor ge village of ficials expr essed enthusiasm about the group coming to Lake Geor ge, as well as curiosity about their specialized interest.

The town board tabled the group’s request, however, to use Shepar d Park beach for their traditional “lamp lightup” event set for the evening of June 29, in or der to seek more information about it, and whether it would r equire standby fire protection measures.

At Coleman lamp gatherings, members light up dozens or hundr eds of their vintage and collectable lamps simultaneously , sometimes spelling out words or setting them in a pattern that depicts a lantern.

Steve Cullins, a collector from Hannibal, NY , said these displays at past conventions have been as lar ge as a football field. This last weekend, Cullins hosted a dozen or more collectors for a regional meeting, and they hung dozens of lanterns in trees near his hand-built cabin in a mini light-up event.

Stephen Miller said that Lake Geor ge was an appr opriate site for the national Coleman convention, considering its historical prominence in camping, including the first camp-out ever of the

Boy Scouts of America, held on the shores of Silver Bay. “Gas lanterns and stoves have a long history her e — they for ged the way in the Adirondacks, long befor e electric lighting, particularly by wilderness guides,” he said.”We hope to get a lot of people to come to our ar ea, enjoy a family vacation in the Northeast, and hopeful-

ly they’ll come back year after year.”

Cullins said he was looking forwar d to r eturning to Lake Geor ge, wher e he and his friends have held a lightup on one of the islands.

“There will be a lot of bighitters in the collecting world at the convention,” he said.

Adirondack Journal Editorial

Next stop TL or tear up the tracks

N

ow that Warren County has attracted a railroad company to operate train service — freight hauling and tourist excursions — along its tracks through the Upper Hudson Valley, it’s time to find a solution for the rail line between Lake Placid and Tupper Lake.

The choices?

1) Invest in the railr oad by fixing and maintaining 34 miles of tracks, extending the tourist train from Lake Placid to Tupper Lake.

2) Tear up the tracks and build a multiuse r ecreational trail fr om Lake Placid to Tupper Lake.

3) Do nothing.

Right now, nothing is being done. That would be okay if a compr ehensive study, detailing the pr ojected costs and economic impacts of — 1) investing in the tracks versus 2) investing in a re creation trail — needed to be compiled. But we’re past that stage.

A study, commissioned by AdkAction.org, was completed over the winter by Camoin Associates and Barton & Loguidice.

Now it’s time for the state of NewYork to make a decision, as it is the state Department of T ransportation that owns the rail line.

Our opinion: If New York state doesn’t sign a railroad contract with a private company — offering freight hauling and tourist excursions — by next spring, the tracks should be torn up, and a multi-use r ecreational trail should be built fr om Lake Placid to T upper Lake. That would of fer more recreational options for residents and the traveling public at a better price for the user.

The Adirondack Scenic Railr oad (ASR) currently operates tourist excursions out of Utica, Thendara, and between the Saranac Lake and Lake Placid train stations on a seasonal basis. T rains use the tracks to transport r olling stock between Thendara and Lake Placid in the spring and fall, yet most of the line is unused during the warm months. In the winter , when the snow is deep enough, snowmobiles use the corridor , yet the season for good snow coverage is relatively short. For most of the year , it is wasted space, and taxpayers foot the bill for maintenance.

A gr oup of T upper Lakers — Next Stop!

Tupper Lake — wants the ASR to extend its tourist train service fr om Saranac Lake to Tupper Lake. In the Tupper Lake Junction a

few years ago, local volunteers r e-built a replica of the old train station. Tupper Lake is ready for the train, and it seems the train is ready for Tupper Lake. But the tracks are not ready; they need an expensive overh aul.

Let’s weigh the costs and benefits.

Rail line Construction cost: $10.6 million Annual maintenance: $45,000 Net new regional spending: $758,000 Permanent jobs created: 13 User cost to the public: A round-trip ticket from Lake Placid to Saranac Lake curr ently costs $19 per adult, and tickets to Tupper Lake may be more expensive.

Recreation trail (permanent) Construction cost: $14.6 million Annual maintenance: $51,000 Net new regional spending: $1.2 million Permanent jobs created: 20 User cost to the public: It would be fr ee for the public to use.

It’s simply not worth the taxpayer dollars to renovate and maintain a tourist excursion train from Lake Placid to T upper Lake unless a private rail company — not a not-forprofit group of railfans such as the Adirondack Scenic Railr oad — invests in the rail line, like Iowa Pacific Holdings, Inc. is doing in Warren County.

The newly named Saratoga and North Creek Railway will soon re-open to freight, and Iowa Pacific has agr eed to operate tourist excursions fr om North Cr eek, including ski trains in the winter. The company will pay for track r epairs up to $50,000, insurance and taxes. And the county will re ceive at least $82,000 during the first year.

Adirondack Scenic Railroad officials and local politicians have been lobbying for freight service to the T ri-Lakes for several years, unsuccessfully, and no contract has been signed. It’s time to move forward. Get a contract now, or tear up the tracks.

Letter to the Editor LaFoy fundraiser showed that area citizens have heart To the Adirondack Journal: A tr emendous show of support fr om the Bolton community and surr ounding ar eas made this last weekend’s benefit event for Brittany LaFoy a tr emendous success. Over 200 people came out on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and enjoyed a plentiful buf fet of delicious food that was donated by the Wooden Barrel, Duffy's Tavern, Bella's Deli, the Lakeside Lodge, Cate's, as well as a friend Kayla, and the friends and family of Brittany More than 100 gifts wer e raf fled of f to lucky attendants, all having been donated from the hearts of local citizens. Ther e was a large array of prizes including gift certificates fr om local r estaurants and services, gift baskets jammed the tables, along with beautifully handcrafted items made locally.

The money raised will go far in offsetting some of the ongoing medical and rehabilitation expenses that Brittany and her family are now facing as a r esult of her serious injuries in a 2009 car crash.

The weather was perfect and childr en played in the bounce house donated by Bounce Around while their parents mingled happily on the deck. Hans W inter and the staff at the Wooden Barrel did an exceptional job insuring the comfort of attendees.

All of us on team "Benefit for Brittany" would like to give a special Thank You to Chrissy's Fund, to Art and Nicole Baker of The Lakeside Lodge, along with all of the generous people who donated items, and the wonderful people who came out last Sunday to show their support for Brittany.

The feeling of community was heartwarming. Over 200 people that day felt like one big happy family! It is impossible to thank everyone individually as many donations were anonymous, but we need you all to know that we ar e incredibly thankful for your support!

And to the Adirondack Journal, thanks for all of your help getting this into the public eye, you sure helped raise our attendance!

Sincerely, “Team Brittany:” Jodi Connally and Cindy Jennings on behalf of: Brittany LaFoy and son Anthony Tammy & Louis Gray

The flames were creeping through the pine needles and dry grass covering the ground and —fanned by a stiff breeze —were advancing toward the W arren County Fair Association’s property about 30 feet away.

Community Briefs Paper collection to benefit needy LAKE GEORGE — The next time r esidents head to the Lake George Town Hall, they might want to bring their unwanted newspapers, junk mail and car dboard with them.

In a corner of the T own Hall parking lot at 20 Old Post Road, ther e is a new Greenfiber collection bin.

Residents are encouraged to bring recyclable paper items to deposit in the bin during office hours as part of a community paper recycling program. Twice a month the bin will be emptied, and the contents r ecycled into nontoxic cellulose fiber insulation.

Town Supervisor Frank McCoy said the small stipend the town r eceives from the Greenfiber firm for the paper will go towar ds improving the town food pantry. He said the first priority is a bigger, more energy-efficient freezer.

McCoy said he hopes that residents will find the Greenfiber bin a convenient

way to r ecycle paper pr oducts, while helping support the food pantry . Acceptable items include phone books, office paper , car dboard, cereal boxes, magazines, brown paper bags and construction paper . Only paper-based pr oducts can be accepted. Items must be clean and dry , and not contained in plastic bags or any other non-paper material.

Farmers sought WARRENSBURG — W arren County Agricultural producers now have the opportunity to be included in a new W arren County Farm Guide. Warren County Cornell University Cooperative Extension is developing a county Farm Guide, and the agency is now ur ging farmers and food pr oducers to participate.

The guide is expected to help people locate locally grown pr oducts and educational farm tours. This publication is likely to include a listing of farms, farmers’ markets, agricultural events and festivals, a harvest calendar, and information on

why buying local makes sense.

Producers and farmers will be asked to contribute $20 for inclusion in the guide. T o be listed in the guide, contact Paula Schafer at :pjb1 1@ cornell.edu or: 885-8995.

Rotary honors North Warren CS student Chelsea Law CHESTERTOWN — Chelsea Law , a senior at North W arren High School, has been named Student of the Month by the Chestertown Rotary Club.

The daughter of Bridget Law of Brant Lake and Lance Law of Ballston Spa, Chelsea has excelled in the areas of academics, athletics, and science-r elated pursuits, accor ding to school counselor Michael Therio and Chestertown Rotary Club of ficial David Schlansker.

Therio said Bridget Law’s accomplishments show not only her dedication to aca-

demic achievement, but how varied her talents are.

Chelsea is a hardworking student who has been r ecognized thr ough various local academic awar ds — including Principal’s List and Most Improved in Physics, and for garnering the Rochester Institute of T echnology Innovation and Cr eativity awar d. Her tendency to challenge herself has re sulted in her looking forwar d to graduating with an Advanced Regents with Honors designation, Therio said.

Chelsea has played club soccer for a r e-

gional club team in Ballston Spa, and she enjoys playing the sport with friends in her ee fr time. She can also be found working towar ds the regional Rube Goldber g science competitions. Also, she has served as a re vision editor for the North Warren newspaper.

In her fr ee time, Chelsea enjoys working with young children and babysits on a regular basis.

“This articulate, accomplished and friendly young woman is known for focusing on achieving her goals while tr eating all those in her midst with the gr eatest of r espect,”

Therio said, noting Chelsea's aptitude to set and achieve goals and her outstanding work ethic.

Therio said her ability to balance the demands of challenging academics with many activities will undoubtedly serve her well in her upcoming studies in biology and perhaps pre-med at SUNY Albany this Fall.

“Chelsea provides an outstanding model of leadership, car e and r egard,” Therio said. “We’re proud of her re presenting North Warren.”

Participating in a recent academic awards presentation honoring North Warren student Chelsea Law are (left to right): Rotarian David Schlansker; Chelsea Law’s mother, Bridget Law; North Warren Senior Chelsea Law; Chelsea’s sister Ashley Law ; and Rotary Vice President John Hagmann.

What are your thoughts about the U.S. military killing Osama bin Laden?

(Interviews conducted May 2 by Adirondack Journal Editor Thom Randall) •“I’m happy and excited about it because my four br others, my sister, and dad all served in the military and my nephew Frank has been deployed in Afghanistan — and they’ve been through hell and back.”

•“I’m sorry it took 10 years, but I’m happy it’s over — But we have to keep our guard up because he’s probably trained people to take his place.”

•“If bin Laden had been captured instead of killed, he would have gone to trial, and it would have been a waste of our tax money — He would have gotten the death penalty anyway after killing thousands of people.”

•“I can’t believe they actually tracked him down. I thought they’d never locate him — and to find him in a mansion was shocking.”

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — For years, W arren County Supervisors have complained — or suffered public embarrassment — about the expensive train platforms they had constr ucted primarily with grant funding for the county railway.

Two platforms, one at Hadley and the other in Thurman had cost $2.5 million to build — an expense that anger ed and puzzled the public, considering these were not complete train stations as people had envisioned nearly a decade ago for the tourist railway.

But last week, with a county railway to be r unning trains as soon as this summer under an ambitious new operator, the county supervisors endorsed a plan to erect str uctures, however modest, at these two stops.

Passengers traveling the rail line may soon have at least a r est r oom and a r oof to keep rain of f their heads when they visit the two stopovers in Hadley and Thurman.

At the suggestion of Lake Luzerne Supervisor Gene Merlino, the county endorsed a plan to spend up to $47,626 in leftover federal grant funds to put up walls and r oofs, and at least one rest room at each of the two platforms.

Merlino suggested that volunteer labor to build the structures could be recruited

from the communities served by the railway , and the grant money could be stretched to bankr oll mor e upgrades besides building materials, like lighting and signage.

County Department of Public W orks Committee Chairman Dan Belden, Supervisor of Hague, said spending the money to upgrade the passenger experience would be a good use of money that would otherwise have to be handed back to the government.

“We fought to get the funds, and I hate to turn it back in,” he said.

The pr oposed str uctures, however, fall far short of plans drafted five years or so ago, which called for ar chitect-designed train stations with historic detailing, complete with lobbies, luggage rooms, and concession booths.

The str uctures endorsed April 25 may merely be four walls made out of cheap pressboard siding — and they could be upgraded in the years to come, with full stations as once envisioned, supervisors said.

But Merlino said last week that the interim str uctures could be as extensive as the volunteers wanted, as long as they build it.

Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Russell said the construction of the Thurman Station would be up to a local citizens committee.

Thurman Station Committee president Perky Granger said Tuesday, May 3 she was

Dr. Welch from page 6 Fast forward one year.

Alice has completed the chemotherapy for her breast lesion, and she has continued treatment for her diabetes and had a second colonoscopy. At that colonoscopy, another suspicious polyp was removed and she is now back in the office of Dr. Butte to discuss her third colonoscopy. He feels that the third polyp is abnormal enough that he wants to do a partial colon re-section and schedules her for that surgery.

Before that surgery, which is to be done at Mega Medical Center Hospital, she needs several more tests to look for possible metastases.

What we have is a woman who thought she was in good health and wound up with visit to half a dozen

pleased with the county vote, and the idea of drafting plans and r ecruiting volunteers would be addr essed soon by her group.

She said her committee not only consider ed Thurman Station to serve as a site for community events, but their early dr eams of a historically-detailed enclosed station had been put on hold in r ecent years, during an era that county supervisors pursued budget cuts.

“We always thought that something historic would be appropriate,” she said.

Meanwhile, her gr oup has been seeking to locate the caboose now sitting in Riparius and outfitted as a r efreshment stand, to be r elocated to Thurman Station.

Any development of Thurman Station would benefit Warrensburg and Stony Creek as well as thurman, she said.

“We want the station benefit the local economies,” she said.

Meanwhile, county leaders are moving forward with the new train operators’ ambitious plans. Last week, the county endorsed an intermunicipal agr eement with the Town of Corinth regarding the railway. The contract covers how r evenue, expenses and r esponsibility will be shared. Yet to be ratified by Corinth, the agr eement calls for the county to handle most administrative duties, plus coor dinate and oversee r epairs and infrastructure inspection as necessary.

providers, three hospitals two imaging centers and three labs. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Fragmentation issues here and problems are many but very real in our system.

The first issue is that there was no one place where her data was kept.

Every time she saw a new provider, hospital or facility, she went through the whole registration process again and again.

Second, only Dr. Blood took a thorough history and realized the family history of diabetes and cancer.

Third, there was poor or limited communication between the providers.

The lack of a common database for medical information on patients like Alice is one of the biggest failings in U.S. health care. It is made worse because providers collectively do not do

The supervisors also voted to raise an emergency repair r eserve fund — to be bankrolled over time fr om receipts from railway operations — fr om $500,000 to $1 million. The move was in response to warnings fr om public Works Superintendent Jef f T ennyson that the railway bridges along the line have an aggregate value of $31 million, and costly repairs would be likely over time.

In r ecent years criticized as a money-losing, doomed operation, a new pending agreement for the railway through rural Warren County promises an array of new passenger services and excursions, as well as fr eight traffic — together envisioned to jumpstart the economy in the lower Adirondacks.

Several weeks ago, county leaders approved a contract with Iowa Pacific Holdings that guarantees local taxpayers an income of $81,958 to $190,000 — six per cent of the rail line’s gross revenues — depending on the success of the rail service.

That revenue is to be split between the town of Corinth and Warren County after the reserve fund is bankr olled and specific expenses ar e paid.

The operator also pledges to operate at least 100 oundr trip passenger trains fr om May to October, and a minimum of 30 ski trains and at least 50 dining excursions.

a good job of sharing patient information.

Over the years, there have been many attempts to place the burden of coordination of care on the primary care physician. What happens is they become a recipient of information but do not do a good job of sharing that information with all of the other consultants. Too often, as in this scenario, Dr. Jones did not have nor share information with all the other providers in her care.

For the patient, the frustration is that every new provider becomes a need to repeat the whole story all over again and often results in repeated and unnecessary testing. It can also result in missing important clues as in her case of family disease.

Bolton’s marching band Essex Co. seeks federal help with flood damage to open Mets game

$25 million in damages needed

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Supervisors in Essex County have their fingers cr ossed, hoping that President Barack Obama will declar e the r egion a disaster area.

“I have had thr ee conversations with Congr essman Bill Owens, and he is r eally pushing for us,” County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas said at the May 2 boar d meeting.

“This does have a gr eat shot to get a federal declaration.

The pr eliminary numbers show that there could be $10 to $12 million in damages in Essex County.”

Douglas said that he has stayed in contact with Gov .

Andrew Cuomo since he visited the town of MoriahApril 29.

“We gave the governor a preliminary package at that time,” Douglas said. “Our situation is on their radar , and their communication with me was, ‘For get about

the r ed tape and we will do whatever we can to help these communities out.’”

Douglas said that the governor and federal representatives would continue to monitor the situation. If the county r eaches the $25 million plateau in terms of damages, then the ar ea could be declared a federal emer gency zone.

Several supervisors talked about the damages they have

seen in their communities.

“We ar e losing a r oad at Port Douglas,” Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morr ow said. “There are things in our community that are now just showing up, so I am sure that the number needed for funding is going to rise.”

“We ar e still looking at numbers, but we ar e approaching $500,000 in damages,” Westport Supervisor Daniel Connell said. “We are

Town of Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava points out the damage to the Broad Street Bridge April 29 to Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other officials, including Sen. Betty Little and Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas (far right). Afterward, Cuomo held a press conference declaring a state of emergency in Essex County due to the extensive road damage caused by flooding. The bridge, located on County Route 4 between the hamlet of Moriah and the village of Port Henry on Lake Champlain — the busiest r oad in the county — collapsed April 27 after a flash flood.

Lake George Audit From page 1 The “r ecovery” of special stipends to various town employees, however, is the one suggestion the town is not likely to follow through on.

The town board voted to retroactively af firm those “T itle Pay” stipends and legitimize all such payments to employees — fr om a few hundred dollars up to $15,0000 annually — in a vote taken last week by the board at their monthly meeting.

All the boar d members voted in favor, except for Fran Heinrich, who abstained. She said Monday she had done so because she had been an employee of the town for many years. She said, however, she wasn’t sure whether she had actually r eceived such extra stipends during her 17 years working in the town planning office. She retired from the town in 2003, and started serving on the town board in January 2010.

“I didn’t know how it all worked with Title Pay,” she said. “I only saw what I was getting in my check.”

She said she was not aware of reviewing any Title Pay allocations to other employees, either, during her tenure on the board.

“I don't know , I haven’t thought about it,” she said. “If I did, it’s, skipping my mind.“ McCoy said that about 20 years ago, former town supervisor Lou Tessier created a line in the budget

called “T itle Pay” which over the years included specific extra amounts above base pay and longevity stipends for certain employees, based on merit, educational certification, or extra work details.

In past years, some of these stipends wer e not formally approved by the town boar d, and at times, certain boar d members may not have been awar e of them, McCoy said.

The public might not have been fully aware of the stipends, either.

The title pay amounts wer e not listed in pay ledgers published for the public and appr oved in annual organizational meetings, McCoy said. They were only listed in an aggregate sum under a special budget code, town officials said.

McCoy said these extra stipends, over the most recent five years that the auditors wer e focusing on, accounted for $234,000 — and perh aps far more if the auditors had taken all 20 or mor e years and examined all the town’s employees payr oll records, rather than just 20 employees records.

“These wer e not indiscriminate raises,” McCoy said. “T itle Pay” was awarded to those who deserved it based on performance, extra training, or working above and beyond expectations.”

Former Lake George Town Supervisor Lou Tessier defended his practice of awarding the extra stipends.

He said that Title Pay was award-

looking at $200,000 to $400,000 for just one road.”

“We have farms that have lost their bridges and this is a prime season for them,” Keene Supervisor W illiam Ferebee said. “They can’t move.”

“We have been going all over with the roads that have been washed out and closed,” Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava said.

“There is going to be mor e coming to the surface as far as damages as time goes by.”

“We ar e keeping track of everything and hopefully , we can get some help,” Schroon Supervisor Cathy Moses said.

“We do have some damage in the ar ea that is r elated to what is going on in the village of Saranac Lake,” St.Armand Supervisor Joyce Morency said. “Ther e has been a br each at our sewer plant that brought a declaration fr om the state Department of Health.”

Currently, the county has authorized the use of up to $2.5 million fr om unappr opriated fund balance to deal with repairs and reconstruction work, which it is hopeful to r epay through federal funding.

While several supervisors brought up ar eas where private property has been damaged, county Emer gency Services Dir ector Don Jaquish said that the infrastructure needed to be addressed first in or der to obtain federal funding.

“It’s har d to tell private homeowners that we can’t do anything right now , but that is the way that it is at the moment,” Jaquish said.

“What each homeowner needs to do is take pictur es and keep track of all the expenses and losses that they have.”

Jaquish also gave county leaders places to look for further damages.

“Be sur e to look at your parks and your beaches,” Jaquish said.

ed based on extra work performed or additional r esponsibilities. he said it was a way to assure that new employees would not start out at the higher pay levels earned by those employees who retired.

“Our employees wer e paid well, and they provided good services to the town’s r esidents,” Tessier said.

“They got paid what they deserved.”

He said that the state should have voiced their objections to T itle Pay years ago in three audits performed over 26 years. He said an auditor hired by the town over many years had no objection to the practice either.

Tessier said that town boar d members over the years were aware of the practice of awar ding special stipends, although they wer en’t voted on by the board , or detailed in published pay documents.

“The board was involved in these decisions,” he said.

Former T own Boar d member George McGowan disagr eed. He served on the board for 12 years, up through 2008.

“I never never hear d of Title Pay — absolutely not,” he said this week. “Board members didn’t know what they wer e voting on during the budget process.”

He said that Tessier only presented the board with “endless pages” of budget listings, identified only with codes.

Since his tenure on the board, McGowan has, as a citizen, repeatedly

thom@denpubs.com BOLTON LANDING — One day last week a raucous cheer erupted from the band practice ro om in Bolton Central School.

Band director Stan Walkanowski prompted the uproar, as he announced to his marc hing band they’d have an opportunity few young musicians would ever experience in their lifetime.

The Bolton High School Marching Band has been invited to perform the “Star Spangled Banner” at the beginning of a New York Mets baseball game Thursday May 5 against the San Francisco Giants at Citi Field in Queens.

The 36-member band is scheduled to play the patriotic anthem just prior to the first pitch at some point between 12:50 p.m. and 1:07 p.m., Walkanowski said.

“When I broke the news to the band members, they literally jumped out of their chairs and went crazy ,” he said.

“And when the news settled in, several kids still didn’t believe it.”

Walkanowski said he is r etiring in June after 20 years as a music teacher and band dir ector at Bolton Central, and he had been telling the band members he was going to arrange a special trip for them during his final year.

Walkanowski’s r epeated calls to the Mets of fice prompted the gig that will be giving the students their five minutes of fame as they play the Star Spangled Banner, in formal garb, right in fr ont of the Mets team dugout.

He was prompted by a friend who made the suggestion after hearing that Bolton Superintendent of Schools Ray Ciccarelli, guidance counselor Steve Showers, and Walkanowski were all ardent Mets fans.

Walkanowski then googled “high school band,” “Mets,” and “national anthem.” The sear ch revealed the name of a band in Michigan that had made a similar performance for the Mets. He then phoned the band dire ctor and got some tips on how to lobby for such a tr easured privilege.

Despite an initial cool response from the Mets, Walkanowski persisted. W alkanowski sent the Mets management a CD of the band playing the national anthem in practice, and a photo of the gr oup performing in the South Glens Falls Holiday Parade. Mets of ficials responded that they liked the CD and the looks of the band, and they offered the gig.

While they’ll be in the national spotlight May 5, the band has performed the national anthem on a more local public setting — at the Glens Falls Civic Center before an Adirondack Phantoms hockey game.

Walkanowski said anticipating the Phantoms’ game performance put him on edge.

“I was nervous, but their performance for that game was the best I ever heard,” he said.

The Mets appearance includes images of the band being displayed on video scoreboards at the field.

Walkanowski said it is unusual for the national anthem performance to be part of the televised segment, but he is now lobbying SportsChannel NY to extend their coverage to beam Bolton’s appearance statewide.

He said performing in such a famed venue in a national spotlight will not only prompt lifetime memories, but be character-building, particularly boosting confidence.

urged the board to fully identify the budget line items, rather than using code numbers.

He said he assumed that the employees were only receiving the pay that was published in the annual compensation statements distributed annually to the public, which didn’t include extra stipends.

“I asked the bookkeeper for copies of employees’ W -2 statements, but I couldn’t get them.” he said.

Tessier defended his practices, and said ther e was no attempt to hide the extra pay.

“There wer e public hearings on the budgets, but few people ever showed any interest in the budget,” he said. “They could have come in to the town hall at any time and asked the bookkeeper for the figures.”

Board member Scott W ood, who assumed his seat in January 2008, said he was awar e only of some of the stipends, primarily raises, and until the audit, he wasn’t aware the town’s compensation practices were against state policies.

Wood agr eed with McGowan about how the budgetary code numbers and various code numbers could obscure employees’ total pay.

“The budget was very confusing in the past,” W ood said. “I wondered why it wasn’t made real simple.”

Wood credited McCoy for leading an ef fort to get payr oll practices straightened out, and praised his

work towar ds getting budgets understandable.

“Frank’s done a very good job,” he said. “W e’ve enacted a lot of changes since Louie (T essier) r etired.”

Bill Reynolds of the state Comptroller ’s Of fice said he couldn’t comment on the extra stipends — or how they’d potentially be r ecovered, until after the audit becomes public.

“This is not something I can comment on,” he said. “However, I will say ther e wer e some issues with payroll control.”

Other issues cited by the audit include: • Resolving deficits in operating fund balances for suf ficient cash flow.

• Adopting r ealistic budget estimates for expenses and re venue and fund balances.

• Properly recording and paying back inter-fund loans.

• Publicly and off icially authorizing salary incr eases, separation payments, and making sure they are in accor d with town policies and distributed equitably among employees.

Town Supervisor McCoy said all these concerns have been addressed, with the town implementing new payr oll controls —and the town board has assured the auditors of these specific changes in pr ocedure.
