BOLTON LANDING — The musicians of Bolton High School Marching Band thoroughly enjoyed their appearance as featured performers at a New York Mets baseball game last week, band director Stan Walkanowski reported Monday.

The 36-member band performed the “Star Spangled Banner” just before the first pitch of the Mets showdown May 5 with San Francisco Giants at Citi Field in Queens.

“It was an incredible thrill,” he said. “The band played so well — I was really proud of

them.”

And although the Bolton band’s performance wasn’t broadcast over national television like the rest of the game, it was beamed back to Bolton via the clever work of a school administrator.

Kathleen Dennin, Business Manager for Bolton Central Schools, broadcast the band’s performance live through her iPhone video camera, Walkanowski said.

The band’s performance was shown live at the Mets stadium on the giant video boards. Marching out of the stadium presented a problem as they were required to

LAKE GEORGE — The village government has has been awarded a $650,000 grant from the state Environmental Facilities Corporation through the agency’s Green Innovation grant program.

The highly competitive program is funded through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Faced with elevated nitrate concentration in the village sewer system’s effluent, the Village applied for money to complete their multi-year effort to upgrade and boost efficiency of its wastewater treatment plant.

The funds will allow the Village to undertake a project to install the latest technology to remove nitrogen from the plant’s effluent.

“This is a major step in achieving the plant’s efficiency and making it one of the nation’s most effective on-site wastewater facilities, Village Mayor Robert Blais said.

WARRENSBURG — Voters across the region will be casting ballots Tuesday on whether to approve their local school districts’ 2011-12 budgets, and their vote culminates a lengthy struggle for most area school boards in crafting financial plans.

The various boards of education had to devise ways to keep taxes low — because of voter sentiment and prevailing economic conditions — while dealing with ballooning costs for fuel, employee health care and retirement plans in the face of reduced State Aid. In the Warrensburg Central School District, initial forecasts called for cuts to many programs and positions in order to keep any tax increase at a minimum — but most of the posts and programs were restored in the final budget draft.

The 2011-2012 proposed budget calls for total spending of

Local architecture exhibit set

(518)494-4298

A new exhibit portraying the architectural heritage of Warrensburg will be opening soon at the Warrensburg Museum of Local History, and its debut will be observed with a wine and cheese reception from 1 to 4 p.m. May 15.

The exhibit takes the viewer through the dozen or so styles of architecture in Warrensburg from its early settlement in the late 18th century to the present. Developed by Delbert Chambers, the exhibit is to be part of the museum’s permanent display.

The museum, located in the VFW Building at 3754 Main St., has barrier-free access. The entrance and parking are at the rear of the building.

Warrensburg began as a water-powered mill town and quickly earned its place among the industrial powers of the area, with lumber, tanning and garment manufacture being the main sources of wealth. From the early 19th century, the town's residential architecture reflected that wealth, mirroring the current architectural styles found throughout the country. From palatial mansions built by the industrial magnates to the more modest residences of successful workers and businesspeople, a wide variety of styles and materials can still be found throughout the town. This variety is reflected in the new exhibit, which includes reference to early kit-built homes offered by such national companies as Sears Roebuck.

The museum is operated by the Warrensburgh Historical Society. Regular hours are 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays and Sundays. Admission is free.

For details contact the museum director, Steve Parisi, at 623-2928 or 623-2207 or see: www.whs12885.org.

Warrensburg - Adirondack Journal - 3

Two compete for one Warrensburg school board seat

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — For many decades, Warrensburg residents have focused a lot of attention on school board politics, and this year ’s race is no exception.

Incumbent Board of Education member Linda Baker Marcella, a real estate broker and owner of Spruce Mountain Farm, is being challenged by Terri Leguire, a stay-athome mother who has been active in a variety of community efforts.

Marcella, who’s served on the board for five years, said she’s seeking re-election because she and other board members are now in the midst of various efforts to enhance local secondary education, and she wants to

finish the tasks at hand.

“I’ve worked very hard to bring about positive changes in the past five years, and I feel the job isn’t done yet,” she said.

Leguire said she wants to bring a new voice to the board and put her attributes of teamwork building, leadership, dedication and community involvement to work.

“I am committed to making decisions that are in the best interests for our students, our community, and the school district,” she said.

Marcella said her extensive management and business background equip her to analyze issues and help make the best decisions on behalf of the community. She has gained a reputation of thoroughness in her analysis of school district expenditures and getting

the most out of every dollar spent — plus suggesting cost-efficient measures.

Marcella’s been a real estate broker for 29 years, and now owns and operates Adirondack Real Estate LLC. She’s also worked as a stockbroker for an investment firm. Also, Marcella has run divisions for large companies, preparing budgets and overseeing staff, she said. Marcella is a 1965 Warrensburg High School graduate , and she received a BA degree from SUNY Albany.

“I bring experience to the table,” she said.

“The bottom line is, I really care about all the parties involved, including the taxpayers who are going to be asked to pay for the school district’s educational programs.”

Leguire’s resume includes work as a supervisor for 10 years in the realm of banking, plus as a supervisor in retail for five years.

New NC Ministry director introduced critical needs.

At the event, Ministry officials announced the appointment of Jill Harrington as executive director, effective July 1. She is currently executive assistant for the group.

Harrington will succeed Brother James Posluszny, who has served as executive director of the agency for 12 years. Ministry board members, who said Posluszny has worked tirelessly in his position, paid tribute to him and his work.

Harrington, who joined the agency staff in 2002, has worked extensively with all aspects of NCM as it has grew significantly. She has earned an a Master ’s Degree from Wagner College where she also taught. In her early career, she was a research chemist with Exxon Corp. and the Mennen Company.

She is a resident of North Creek with her husband, Robert Osowiecki and daughters, Heather and Holly. Involved in many community activities, Jill has served as Executive Director of Upper Musical Hudson Arts, Meader said.

North Country Ministry is an ecumenical, not-for-profit outreach organization that provides services to individuals and families in need in northern Warren County.

The agency serves over 1,000 people monthly and covers an area over 600 square miles.

Their services include supportive counseling, advocacy and referral, a mealsite, a family clothing shop, furniture donations, an emergency assistance fund, parenting support, housing rehabilitation and adult living units.

LAKE GEORGE — About 150 people with philanthropic inclinations attended the Spring Gala Fundraiser for North Country Ministry May 6, enjoying festive socializing at the annual dinner-dance while they helped others in need.

The event, held at Fort William Henry Hotel, featured silent and live auctions and magic by David MacDonald.

Attendees bid on goods and services donated by area businesses and individuals.

Although the attendance was down about 20 percent from last year, event publicist Phyllis Meader said donations were still robust, and all those attending deserved heartfelt appreciation for helping their North Country neighbors, a record number who are now facing

Tree-planting to memorialize teen

Early Advertising, Classified & Legal Deadlines for Memorial Day 2011

WARRENSBURG — A tree planting ceremony will be held May 19 in memory of Courtney Mae Swinton, an 18year-old from the area who apparently took her life about a year ago.

Irv West, the organizer of the event, said he and others not only want to remember Swinton, but to convey to all young people that there are ways other than suicide to ease the pain that comes with life.

“Courtney was a very sensitive and caring soul and was always there for her friends when they were distraught,” he said, noting that all in area communities are invited to attend the ceremony. “Sadly, the burdens of her life — and the pain — were too much for her to bear, and we lost her.”

The tree, a Japanese Lilac, will be planted on the grounds of Warren County Cooperative Extension office off Schroon River Road in Warrensburg.

The horticultural experts on staff will nurture the tree over time, much as the organizers hope the ceremony will nurture our area communities’ youth who are facing challenges, West said.

Every year when the memorial tree blooms, a ceremony will be held, West said. “It’s symbolic of life’s renewal, and how Courtney continues to live in those who were fortunate to have known her.”

West said the plaque to be set under-

Our office will be closed on Monday, May 30, 2011 68002

neath the memorial tree includes a peace symbol, representing Courtney’s peace-loving nature. It will also be depicted on a memorial banner that was created recently by the 4-H Trailblazers. He said Courtney regularly wore clothing representing the peace symbol, and it was displayed in her room at home.

West said people should all focus on reaching out to others of all ages; listen, recognize and respect their issues and be available to offer support and friendship.

“We adults need to really hear our young people; we need to feel a connection to our neighbors who are in need; we need to shed tears for the baby who dies of starvation in the world every 12 seconds,” he said. “Teenagers struggling with the pain in their lives are no different than elderly people struggling with their pain.”

He said that Swinton had demonstrated empathy for others in need.

“Courtney Mae was a girl of great soul, of deep caring,” he said. “She felt the universal suffering of others.”

The tree-planting ceremony will begin at 1 p.m. on the grounds of the Warren County Cooperative Extension, 77 Schroon River Road in Warrensburg.

An informal reception is to follow.

There will be brief presentations by Swinton’s mother, plus a close friend of

the family, and Amy Molloy, of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The tree will be planted with the help of Swinton’s friends and family, event co-organizer Jamie ThackrahHarris said.

“We really hope that young people who knew Courtney, or are struggling themselves, will want to attend,” she said. “We need to be there for each other.”

Bolton Band from page 1 walk single file — so the students they had to spontaneously change their practiced formation, Walkanowski said.

“But they grabbed onto it, it was all good,” he added.

Although they didn’t get to meet some of their favorite players, they did have some contact with them — the band’s drummers reported that Jose Reyes and another Mets standout brushed the back of their shirts as they were conducting warm-up exercises right behind them near the dugout, Walkanowski said.

Walkanowski arranged the performance as a special final trip for the band before his retirement in June.

Village Public Works Superintendent David Harrington and Chief Plant Operator Reginald Burlingame worked with the office of Senator Kirsten Gillibrand to obtain the grant. The nitrogen-removal upgrades are expected to total $1.2 million, and the difference between that sum and the $650,000 grant will be paid by village taxpayers, Blais said Tuesday.

He added that the village had applied for a nitrogen-removal grant several times before, but this latest application, through the Green Innovation program, apparently met the criteria and beat out the intense competition for the money.

This spring, the Village will be slip-lining hundreds of feet of sewer mains along the lake and also reducing several areas of ground water infiltra-

This grant brings to a total of over $3.5 million in grants received by the Village over the past two years. Included in that total are grants for the Village streetscape and wastewater improvements as well as for the West Brook Park and for developing the Blueway Trail.

Blais said the ongoing sewer and wastewater treatment upgrades represented major steps forward in protecting the lake — area citizens’ most valuable resource.

“The success we have had in obtaining this substantial amount of funds indicates the importance that the state, our elected officials and our friends in Albany place in the value of Lake George and our community,” he said.

Adirondack Journal Editorial

Politicians showing leadership skills during the flood of ’11

A

ll over the North Country, we’ve seen more water than we can handle. The constant rain helped flood aptly named byways like the River Road, Old River Road and Water Street; shoreline homes; parks; ferry stations; boat launches; and more … much more.

We’ve seen people boating where they normally would be walking, bicycling or driving. We’ve seen bridges collapse, roads washed out, cars submerged, businesses close and ferries discontinue service. We’ve seen people hurt and almost die. And we’ve seen strangers care for one another like family members.

On the whole, we’re pleased with the response from our local and state governments.

At least, on the whole.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo even came by for a photo opportunity on April 29, visiting the collapsed Broad Street Bridge in the Essex County town of Moriah, where resident Anna Mayhood jumped from her SUV to save her own life two days before.

We asked Cuomo if he had made plans to meet “the woman who almost died here the other day” — Ms. Mayhood — and he said no. Asked what he would say to her to ensure her that New York state’s roads are safe, he quipped, “You are lucky; light a candle.”

Like a true politician, he didn’t answer the entire question. In fact, we’re disappointed he made a joke out of a question that included the words, “the woman who almost died here.” He was trying to be funny in front of his friends and the TV cameras, but his brief lapse of judgement showed a lack of respect and compassion with regard to a life-threatening situation.

Moreover, the governor blamed Mother Nature, not a lack of road and bridge inspections, for what happened at that historic bridge, which was said to have been built more than 100 years ago to cross over the Lake Champlain and Moriah Railroad tracks.

But give him credit; Cuomo did visit.

He came north to inspect the flood damage and declare a state of emergency for

Essex County when he could have easily stayed in Albany to issue the order.

As he stood on the brink of the collapsed Broad Street Bridge — staring into the wreckage of asphalt, stone, timber and iron — we heard him utter these words under his breath: “Man, that’s a frightening drop.”

The flooding situation was just as frightening for local politicians, such as Moriah Town Supervisor Tom Scozzafava, who praised Cuomo for his support. The supervisor pointed to the DOT employees working side-by-side with town highway crews. They were fixing the erosion — 4 feet of washed-away topsoil — that exposed a sewer main during the April 27 flash flood. He said this kind of state-local cooperation wouldn’t have happened a year ago under Gov. David Paterson.

And he’s right. Gov. Cuomo is showing leadership skills not seen in Albany since George Pataki left office more than four years ago.

Locally, the response from town, village, city and county officials during the flooding crisis has been tremendous.

We’re proud to have leaders like Keene Supervisor Bill Ferebee, who risked his Jeep in rising water to help transport neighbors to safe ground. Let’s not forget the firefighters, emergency technicians, highway crews, and the countless volunteers who filled sandbags and manned Red Cross shelters.

Times like these, we’re proud to say we live in a small town, where neighbors look out for one another. It’s good to see our elected officials are doing the same.

Yet the flooding is still not over, and there’s plenty more work to be done. The rebuilding will take many months and millions of dollars. Let’s just hope the political leadership skills exhibited these past two weeks are practiced consistently and are not simply flashes of brilliance.

Defeat the Lake George school budget

Citizens’ generosity a big help to cancer patient

To the Adirondack Journal: Lake George school district voters, please vote “No” on Tuesday to the proposed big Lake George School tax increase. It’s excessive and unjustifiable, given the steady, continuous decline in enrollment numbers since 2005.

Some nearby local school districts are holding the line on budget increases to zero percent, and some are actually reducing the school tax levy. Lake Luzerne is proposing a 4.5 percent budget decrease — which will result in a tax levy decrease of 1 percent.

Yet, Lake George is asking for a nearly 4 percent tax increase, ignoring the economic realities that we are currently faced with in a weak economy.

Voting “No” for the Lake George School District budget on Tuesday will send a message to the school board that they need to be more mindful of excessive spending that could be curtailed without negatively impacting the quality of a child’s education. For these reasons and others, I encourage Lake George School district voters to vote “No” on Tuesday.

To the Adirondack Journal: The James Palazzo Cancer Benefit event was an amazing event for an amazing person, and it drew a crowd.

The event was held April 30 at the Lakeside Lodge and Grille on Main Street in Bolton Landing in order to raise money to pay for Palazzo’s rising medical costs. Jim Palazzo was recently diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer that has metastasized to his liver.

A live auction, a Chinese auction, were held. In such a short amount of advance time, an incredible amount of items, certificates and food were donated by businesses and individuals from near and afar. Due to all the volunteers, donations, food, and a group of supportive people, this event was a great success.

Many thanks go to the Lakeside Lodge & Grille, Cate’s, Neuffers Deli, Samantha’s Cafe and the Lake George Baking Company for providing such quality food. A special thanks to Martin Seeley for making the live auction such an exciting event. Most of all, thanks to all of you who showed their support for such an amazing person.

The amount raised will certainly help the family with continued medical, household and travel bills during

the ongoing treatments and upcoming surgeries. All donations were greatly appreciated.

On behalf of James Palazzo and his family we thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts!

Linda Baker Marcella is conscientious and logical To the Adirondack Journal: Five years ago, I listened as a local woman ran a very strong campaign in which she promised to “do the right thing.”

Through her term, I watched Linda Baker Marcella with interest and appreciation as he worked hard to deliver on her promise, and she succeeded.

I find her to be thorough and conscientious, logical and systematic in her thinking, committed to what she believes in — doing the right thing — and genuinely concerned about the children of Warrensburg as well as the community of Warrensburg.

Please vote on May 17 and re-elect Linda Baker Marcella, and let her continue to “do the right thing.”

•100 Years Ago – May 1911•

ing brightly and the drought is with us still.

Automobiles cause havoc

Arson scars area forests Burned in a forest fire were 20,000 acres of valuable timber lands in the town of Johnsburgh starting on May 13, 1911. The timber was still burning a week later. Light rains have finally helped fire fighters in getting the flames under control.

The fire started near Mud Pond and spread rapidly to the banks of the Sacandaga River, three miles away. It followed the river bank to two islands about two miles below the narrows and than jumped the stream near Fox Lair Camp, owned by Richard Hudnut of New York City. The camp was soon surrounded by a wall of flames and the superintendent, Thomas Thornioe sent a telephone appeal for help while starting a steam pump which conveys water from the river to a reservoir atop the mountain nearby which supplies the camp with water by gravity.

A crew of men at work on the road responded to the call for help and made their way to the camp where after a hard fight they managed to save all of the buildings.

The fire traveled at a rate of five miles an hour and it was feared that the little hamlet of Bakers Mills would be wiped off the map.

Every man there came out to fight the fire.

In the town of Luzerne a big fire raged all day on April 15 and 16, 1911. Fire Warden Nathan Pulver says that he is positive that all the fires on state lands this spring were deliberately set.

Draught continues Clouded skies and a light rain for a while on May 18, 1911, led many to believe that the long and destructive drought was at last to be broken, but not so. The sun is again shin-

A pony owned and driven by Mrs. John W. Wood of Warrensburgh was frightened by an automobile May 17, 1911 near the residence of Edwin Osborne. The machine, occupied

by Charles B. Dix, brother of Governor Dix and a party of friends, was at once stopped and assistance was offered.

Mrs. Wood, believing that she was able to manage the frightened animal alone, left the wagon and took the pony by the head while the automobile continued on its way. The little beast, however, reared and plunged so vigorously that the woman was thrown to the ground and horse and wagon passed over her, bruising her severely.

Mrs. Wood was unconscious for some time after she was taken to her home in Dickinson and Bertrand’s automobile. She was better the next morning and no serious results are anticipated. The pony was finally stopped near the Adirondack Hotel.

Girls thrown from wagon On the evening of May 17, 1911, Miss Emma Young and Miss Jessie Soper were driving on the Lake George Road when their horse was frightened by a passing automobile and backed the wagon over a steep bank near the residence of B.C. Dickinson.

The girls escaped with a severe shaking up and numerous painful bruises. The wagon was broken up somewhat, but the horse came out of the mix-up in good condition.

In another incident the same day, a big automobile driven by two young men from Glens Falls turned out to pass Dr. C.K. Burt’s car near Bolton when one of the rear axles snapped off short. The machine turned tur-

tle, caught fire and was entirely destroyed.

The young fellows were thrown out and miraculously escaped serious injury.

Jury shows no sympathy A case proceeding before Justice Van Kirk in Lake George was that of Byron Finkle against the Bolton Landing Lumber Company. The action was one to recover damages for injuries received in an accident at the company’s sawmills in Bolton in 1910.

Young Finkle, who is about 18 or 19 years old, was at work at the sawmill when his hand became caught in a buzz saw and was so badly mangled that amputation of the member was necessary in order to save the youth’s life. The jury, on May 17, 1911, returned a verdict of no cause of action.

News roundabout

Late breaking news No arrests have yet been made in the case of the headless female babies found on May 5, 1911 in a deserted mine in Mineville. Suspicion, however, points strongly to a certain woman as the guilty person and it is believed that the mystery will soon be solved. Because the heads were missing when the bodies were found, the children, believed to be twins, could not be identified. (Note: These murders were detailed in the May 7, 2011 installment of this column.)

News around Warrensburgh Seaford Reynolds is building a concrete wash-rack for wagons at Straight’s Livery barn. (Note: This barn would be next door north of today’s Griffin House Restaurant.)

Mrs. Sarah Aldrich of Stony Creek is having a fine monument erected on her lot in the Warrensburgh village cemetery in memory of her late husband, Dr. Gilbert H. Aldrich.

To the Adirondack Journal: I am urging parents and all registered voters to go out and vote “Yes” for this year's Warrensburg Central School District budget. The vote is to be held on May 17 at the High School in Warrensburg.

Also, if you are concerned about your children's education, our wonderful teachers and this entire community, please vote for Terri Leguire as a new school board member.

She will work for and support our children, our teachers and our community.

She is honest, dedicated, caring, and fair.

She will work at keeping education and our student's well-being a top priority and at keeping budget increases at a minimum.

Thank you.

from page 6 assure the health of the baby; labor and delivery for newborns and well child care, including immunizations.

It also includes annual flu shots and other actions to reduce communicable disease.

In a broader sense, it may also include screening for treatable disease by doing things like mammograms, rectal exams and diabetes and blood pressure checks.

The performance of this public health sector is good for all of us and protects our collective health. It is something that everyone living in this country should have.

This kind of care should be a basic right and provided for all and since we all share in the benefit it should come out of the central treasury.

At the opposite extreme, there is the need for catastrophic care. This includes the head injured patient, the spinal cord injury, those needing liver and heart transplants and other rare

but exceedingly expensive problems. The number of people needing such care is small, but the costs are enormous. The only way to afford such care is to spread the risk across the largest possible pool of people. This kind of care should be covered by one very large nationwide “reinsurance” program that everyone would pay into. To qualify for care under this plan, one would have to meet a “means test.”

As an example, if the cost of care exceeded twice your annual income, you would become eligible.

For all of the care in between — the broken leg, the episode of pneumonia or a gall bladder attack — it would be appropriate to consider regular health insurance. For each of us, the decision of how much financial risk we can afford would determine what level of coverage we may want to have.

If we wished, we could purchase coverage for any and all such care but would pay a higher premium. Or we could opt for a lower level of

coverage and assume greater risk ourselves. Insurance of this type also makes sense for an employer to purchase to be sure the workers are cared for and returned to work promptly after illness or injury. This makes it a true insurance product. It also would allow for premium adjustment for those who choose to live a healthy lifestyle versus those who decide to take greater personal risk.

We have a health care system that is not working well.

To improve upon this, we need to develop a system that will recognize that it is to our collective advantage to assure access for everyone. That will assure that the care is appropriate to the needs of the person and avoids unnecessary and expensive care that does not add to length or quality of life. We need care and coverage provided by private industry but controls placed by collective national decision making.

Help us work toward relieving hunger crisis To the Adirondack Journal: Are you hungry? What do we do when hungry? We walk to the refrigerator or the pantry and take a snack and drink milk, soda or water.

When a family is hungry in the Third World, mostly women and children walk miles for water and grain. The United Nations reports that hunger is increasing dramatically in many parts of the world, due in part to a pervasive world food crisis and rocketing food prices that have pushed another 100 million into dire poverty. Some of the causes are war, natural disasters, corrupt governance, ignorance, disease, inequitable trade patterns and the effects of climate changes on water resources. Hunger and malnutrition are the number one risk to global health, killing more than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined, according to the U.N. There are wonderful and dedicated agencies from Europe and North America leading the way. They include medical workers, U.N. staff agencies, Catholic World Relief, Quakers, Lutheran World Relief, Church World Service and more. All agencies are working together encouraging an increase in small family farms that will produce more nutritious food. They drill wells for fresh water. They give guidance in helping local people form co-ops to distribute their crops and goods. They are encouraging breastfeeding. Some programs try to increase literacy so people can do more to help themselves.

The greatest ongoing need is food. We in

the North Country can help. A CROP Hunger Walk is scheduled for Oct. 15 at 1 p.m. in Ticonderoga. Bob and Sue Johnson are the co-chairs and are looking for volunteers and representatives from local organizations to make this a reality. Call 543-6127 to volunteer. Your participation by walking, pledging or both will support those in need locally, in other parts of the U.S. and around the world.

LGCS budget increasing To the Adirondack Journal: This letter is being written to encourage voters in the Lake George School District to reject the proposed 2011-12 school budget on May 17. The school budget has been increasing exponentially each year. This year they are asking for another 4 percent increase in property taxes which is double last year ’s increase and substantially larger than other neighboring districts that are losing greater amounts of state aid.

With drastic cuts in state aid, how can districts like Hadley-Luzerne, Hudson Falls, Whitehall, Hartford, Glens Falls and Queensbury lower their tax levy or keep the increase less than half of Lake George’s increase? It’s because they have a school board, administration and faculty that are in touch with the economic conditions in their communities.

Since 2007-08, Lake George has seen a 9 percent drop in enrollment and a 7.6 percent increase in faculty which resulted in a 12.3 percent budget increase. This year the student to faculty ratio is 6.3 to 1 which is lower than the ratio in many private schools.

Unfortunately, the results don’t compare.

This year, the cost of administration equated to $2,454 per student. Assuming a constant enrollment, next year the total expenditures will cost taxpayers $21,106 per student, considerably higher than the statewide average that includes expensive districts downstate.

The teacher ’s contract is currently under negotiations. Passing the budget will give the green light to the school board to roll over yet again. Why shouldn’t teachers accept a pay freeze and contribute more than 8 percent for their elaborate health care benefits? Who in the private sector is enjoying this type of compensation package, plus an income-tax-free pension?

Vote “No” on the budget on May 17. A “No” vote will not affect student programs, but it will send a much-needed message to the Lake George Board of Education.

Regional student art show set for Chester gallery

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — The popular Art in Chestertown Gallery is set to reopen for 2010 this next week with a new juried exhibit featuring the best in student art from the region.

This “Youth Visions” exhibit is being curated along the lines of the acclaimed High School Juried Show, a 20-year standout event at The Hyde Museum.

In the Art in Chestertown Gallery’s “Youth Visions” exhibit, young artists from schools including Lake George, North Warren, Corinth, Fort Edward, Newcomb, Schroon Lake, Queensbury, and Mountainside Christian Academy are to be featured — as well as works from home-school youth.

Paintings, drawings, sculpture, photog-

raphy will be included, gallery official Fred Holman said Tuesday.

“We’re very excited about this show,” he said. “Student art is open, original and unrestricted — primarily because they haven’t yet learned what they ‘can’t do’,” he said.

The show, which showcases art from Juniors and Seniors in high school, runs until June 17. An awards ceremony will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. June 3 at the gallery.

The Art in Chestertown Gallery opened with rave reviews last summer, amid praise over its mixture of iconoclastic and traditional idioms of art expression.

Area leaders also said it represented a cornerstone venture for the revitalization of downtown Chestertown.

The gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Thursday through Saturday. For details, see: www.northcountryartscenter.org or call Holman at 803-4034.

Mark it on your calendar! Don’t forget! One vote can make the difference! It really can!

Dear Friends, Our school is in trouble. We are on an unsustainable path. Current projections are for a 1.9% tax increase this year and an 8.8% tax increase for next year. I have worked tirelessly for the past five years to try to balance the needs of our children with the ability of the taxpayers to pay. We need to negotiate a new teacher’s contract. We need to think outside the box in order to deliver the education our children need and deserve. Unfortunately that may include uncomfortable changes like sharing services with other districts, larger class sizes, the elimination of one campus, and bottom line... Do more with less!Hard decisions need to be made. You can count on me. Can I count on you?

School budgets from page 1 $19,017,270, a sum of $7,987,307 to be raised by taxes, which is an increase of $150,896 over last year — despite a decrease in total expenditures of nearly $500,000. The tax levy is estimated to reflect a 1.9 percent increase over 2010-11.

The budget gap of $808,500 is to be drawn from fund balances and reserves. The budget calls for eliminating three instructional positions, reducing undergraduate sports contests, elimination of two cleaner positions, and bringing back some students in Special Education and Career education programs to the Warrensburg campus, from BOCES. The vote is set for 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

An additional proposition calls for putting away $600,000 from unappropriated funds to a Capital Reserve Fund for the replacement of the high school roof and other vital facility improvements.

My Family and I say a HUGE thank you to everyone who participated in and attended the event at the VFW Hall in Warrensburg on April 30th 2011.

Our sincere thanks to the VFW Post #4821 Men’s Auxiliary for their donation, in part of which included not only the hall for the event to be held, but also the delicious food and hours of the members’ time in preparation for and during the event. You all did a wonderful job and made the benefit a huge success.

To all those who could not make it but sent cards, donations and well wishes, we thank you for your thoughtfulness. It is MUCH appreciated.

Your contributions, one and all, will go a long way toward helping relieve some of the financial stress during the long road to recovery. Not to mention The MORAL support that means so darn much, and goes a long way toward lifting one’s spirits. We are overwhelmed by all the support you have all shown.

A very special Thank You to Kelly Bentley and Gina Corlew for brainstorming the idea of the benefit. Without you it never would have taken place. You are amazing friends and we love you.

In the Lake George Central School District, the proposal is to spend $20.8 million, an increase of 4 percent, with the tax levy rising by 5.5 percent — figures that have prompted some citizens to call for spending cuts at budget hearings.

The spending plan eliminates one elementary teaching position left vacant after a retirement. Two teacher assistants will also be cut.

The vote in Lake George will be held from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. May 17 in the high school gymnasium.

In the Bolton Central School District, up for a vote is a 2011-12 budget that calls for $8,367,260 in appropriations, an increase of $33,138, or 0.4 percent. The proposed spending plan increases the tax levy by 0.32 percent, or $21,604.

In formulating the plan, the school board laid off one high school teacher, reduced expenses related to materials, supplies and equipment, and postponed the purchase of a school bus. Expenditures were kept nearly level despite a State Aid cut of $39,000. Ciccarelli has credited the school board and other school administrators for ongoing financial planning that has minimized budget impact on local taxpayers, despite ever-rising expenses.

The voting in Bolton takes place from noon to 8 p.m. Tuesday, May 17 in the Bolton Central School gym lobby.

Briefs Lake George to hold village sale Community Garden planned Bolton Landing will soon have a community garden, thanks to many dedicated residents who have worked on developing one.

The garden will be at the Conservation Park and consist of 24 raised beds.

Ted and Jane Caldwell are donating the lumber and labor.

Tom Roepe is assisting in the construction of them. Sam Caldwell is providing a shed to store tools. Jane and Ted are planning to install a deer-proof fence that they designed along with other volunteers.

Bill Campbell is working on a solar pump for water. Barry Kincaid has already invested an enormous amount of time and labor on the property at the Conservation Park and he has cleared the site for the garden. Ida Barlow and Barbara Drake are master gardeners and have all sorts of resources through Cornell Cooperative Extension.

The committee overseeing this project include Janet Escott, Ida Barlow, Barbara Drake, Bill Campbell, Laura Saffer, Trudy Rope and Jane Caldwell.

Bert Weber hired by Cooperative Extension as a resource to all area community gardens conducted a presentation for the first Bolton garden meeting in April. His talk highlighted the need and the growing number of community gardens across the country. Bolton’s garden program will include a roadside vegetable stand to offer, free of charge, excess produce to local residents.

This idea was inspired by a tradition that Tom Curry started many years ago at his residence. Sally Defty is coordinating the effort to encourage area churches to participate and Deb Gaddy has hopes of involving Bolton Central students.

Community work day slated

A community work day has been scheduled for Sunday, May 22, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Bolton Conservation Park The tasks at the event — complete with a pig roast, live music, a bonfire and great socializing —will include work on clearing a nature trail and developing a community garden.

The Bolton Conservation Park is located on Edgecomb Pond Rd. Barry Kincaid, who has donated hundreds of hours of work on developing a local nature trail at Edgecomb Pond needs help completing it.

The trail is an exquisite walk along the shore of the pond which, when completed, will feature signs all along the way identifying flora. The beautiful, peaceful setting is a great place to escape the noise and activities along Main Street in

the summer.

Blue herons fly overhead, beavers can be observed, and a pair of geese returns each year to nest. The view of the pond is framed by the Pinnacle and Bradley’s Lookout.

The Edgecomb Pond property is home to a brand new community center. A weekly Zumba class takes place there on Tuesday nights and the location offers the class a picturesque natural setting. The focus will be on completing the trail as well as working on the garden site. Help is needed with garden plot preparation, brush trimming, and planting terrace planters.

Volunteers are asked to bring work gloves, brush cutters, wheelbarrows, shovels, pitchforks, hard rakes, and enthusiasm. Trailers, ATVs and UTVs are also needed.

Food for the event is being donated by area restaurants.

Workers are encouraged to bring a side dish to share for the pot luck meal. For details on trail work, contact Barry at 6443132 or: klctrees@aol.com. For information on the garden site, contact Ted or Jane at janecald@aol.com The rain date is Sunday, June 5.

New master plan for town’s future to be revealed

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — A blueprint for the future of the town of Warrensburg has been under development for years, and now a draft of the plan is ready to present to the public.

An informational meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. Monday, May 16 in the Warrensburg Elementary School to introduce the new draft Comprehensive Plan.

The town has been pursuing an update to its existing Comprehensive Plan for several years, with the help of an appointed committee of volunteers chaired by Laura Moore.

The meeting will include a presentation of major themes in the plan, as well as a question and answer period. Refreshments and children’s activities will be available.

The goals stated by the plan include revitalizing Main Street, expanding economic development, as well as preserving and enhancing cultural, historic, natural and recreational resources.

Specifically, plan objectives call for ac-

commodating affordable housing needs of all ages from young families to retirees, boosting broadband access, attracting light manufacturing and additional medical services enterprises. The draft proposes establishing programs to assist homeowners in major repairs and improvements to their homes.

The committee suggested developing public transportation opportunities including bus services, as well as changing zoning to foster small businesses while discouraging strip-mall development.

The plan calls for establishing boat launches, scenic view parking areas, and expanding the library and its resources.

In a move to encourage hamlet sustainability, the plan calls for retail development along Main Street with zoning changes to encourage upstairs apartments.

The planners envision residents shopping in the local stores, supporting local entrepreneurs while minimizing the need to commute to purchase necessities.

The plan also suggests exploring environmentally-friendly hydropower develop-

Brittany Lafoy, (center, rear) who survived a serious car crash in 2009, heard some advice and encouragement at a fundraiser held May 1 for her at Pumpernickel’s Restaur ant from M ason Hamilton, who rebounded from a snowmobile crash in 2010 on Echo Lake . The benefit ev ent attracted about 200, and the pr oceeds are earmarked t o help with the expenses of LaFoy’s ongoing rehabilitation and medical needs. In the October 2009 crash, LaFoy was trapped in her crushed v ehicle for nearly t wo days before being disc overed by her parents, who c ombed the r egion until they found h er w recked c ar d own a n e mbankment, hidden from view.

ment, and boosting access to existing recreational resources, including sites for boating, hiking, fishing, kayaking, snowmobile and multi-use trails, scenic byways, and golfing.

In that vein, the plan proposes to connect biking and hiking trails to other neighboring networks, and to establish a formal trailhead to Hackensack Mountain.

The plan also calls for local citizens to devise strategies for getting the many thousands of tourists who drive through town

daily to stop and spend time and money here.

For details on the Comprehensive Plan project, or to download a draft, see: townofwarrensburg.org. A copy of the Plan will be available at the town Hall and Richards Library.

Development of the plan was partially funded by a state Local Waterfront Revitalization grant. The town hired Saratoga Springs-based Elan Planning to draft the Comprehensive Plan.

Community Briefs Farmers' Market seeking vendors

‘Recycle a Bicycle’ event planned

THURMAN — Area gardeners growing vegetables this year are urged to sign up as a vendor at the Thurman Station Farmers' Market for the summer.

Market organizer Sally Feihel said Monday she is seeking to offer the public more produce this summer in the group’s weekly sale sessions, 3 to 6 p.m. Wednesdays, from July through September.

Those interested in being a vendor are asked to contact Feihel at 623-4889 or via email at: TSFM@verizon.net.

A season-long vendor space is $70, or $90 if two people decided to share one, either at the same time or on alternate weeks. Those selling on an occasional basis pay $10 each week, but must submit an application in advance and let the market manager know ahead of time whether they will be coming.

CHESTERTOWN — Old bicycles can take on new life during North Warren’s “Recycle a Bicycle” event, a community-spirited display planned for the month of June to coincide with the Centurion Bicycle Race preview debuting in the region this summer.

The North Warren Chamber of Commerce is asking that individuals donate unusable bicycles beginning the last two weeks in May. Each one will be cataloged and numbered, and “adopted out” June 3 through 5 to new owners who will decorate them with their own inspired designs.

The decorated bicycles will then be put on display along the Chamber headquarters’ fence line on Rte. 8 beginning June 10 to provide encouragement to Centurion bike riders as they come through the area June 26.

Only donate bicycles that of marginal val-

ue and are appropriate to leave out in the weather for a month. Certificates and awards will be given out to those who decorate.

Bolton voters to be polled, fed BOLTON — Those who come to Bolton Central School soon to vote on the school district’s 2011-12 budget are likely to be offered cookies, a slide show and an exit poll.

The voting takes place from noon to 8 p.m.

Tuesday May 17 in the Bolton Central School gym lobby. Bolton’s Senior Seminar students will serve iced tea and cookies, provided by the BCS Student Council as a “Thank you” to the community for their support.

Students stationed outside the polling area will ask voters to complete an exit poll while they are waiting for their refreshments. The survey will be voluntary, anony-

mous, and offered to every voter, Superintendent Ray Ciccarelli said.

“This is one of many tools that our Board of Education will use to gain public feedback that will assist in making informed decisions in the future,” he said.

The poll will gather information on how voters voted and why, where they obtain information on school finances and policy, and basic demographic data. The results will be analyzed and shared in an upcoming newsletter and on the district’s website.

Meanwhile in the BCS cafeteria, the BCS Outing Club will hold a slide show and potluck dinner beginning at 6 p.m. The presentation will feature photos from the Outing Club’s most recent trip to California during spring recess, which included trips to Death Valley and Yosemite National Parks, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Exploratorium in San Francisco.

A wild child

A

national movement seeking to foster the reattachment between children and nature continues to make great strides, despite the evergrowing enticements of the digital age.

Throughout the nation, numerous organizations have been developed under the “No Child Left Inside” banner. Many of these efforts were prompted by Richard Louv’s book, Last Child in the Woods-Saving your children from Nature Deficit Disorder.

Concerns about the long-term consequences of this detachment on children’s emotional well-being, physical health and learning abilities, has been the focus of Capitol Hill hearings, state legislative action, grass-roots projects, and numerous state and federal initiatives to get more children into the woods.

However, over the years, I’ve noted a disturbing trend that has developed regarding the effort to bring children, ‘back to nature’. I am not concerned with program content, for I recognize the importance of introducing children to the outdoors.

My concern centers primarily on the focus of such efforts, which by and large, appear to have concentrated on urban and suburban kids.

Certainly, I understand that these are populations in need of greater exposure to nature, simply due to the fact they are physically further removed from it.

Green space is available in very limited quantities in the concrete confines of most urban areas, and city parks are far removed from what we consider ‘our park’.

Similar to other rural communities across America, most Adirondack towns are blessed with a multitude of wild lands, wild rivers and wild animals. These tremendous natural resources are often easily accessible for recreation, on the fringes of our villages.

Overlooked outdoors Although a majority of the No Child Left Inside efforts have focused on suburban and urban youth, we cannot afford to overlook the need to offer comparable opportunities for our own children, in our own communities. Traditionally, rural youth remain overlooked and underserved.

Our children may grow up surrounded by a fantastic, forested abode; but without the skills to enjoy their surroundings; they will remain as detached from nature as the kids on K-Street in Washington, DC or in Compton, California.

There is a false perception that rural kids somehow know everything about the woods and waters, as if such skills are bestowed by birthright. The stereotype holds that by living in close proximity to wild lands, local youth are mysteriously imbibed through some odd sort of backwoods osmosis with incredible wildwood wisdom.

Sadly, it doesn’t work that way. Kids still have to learn about the woods and waters from someone, somehow, someway; the same way adults do.

For rural communities to remain sustainable, leaders must recognize the importance of providing local youth with opportunities to connect with their surroundings. We have always placed greater value and protection on the places we utilize and enjoy.

We must also instill within the youth an appreciation for the region’s natural resources.

Local kids deserve such an opportunity; it should not be an advantage afforded only to the advantaged.

We must realize that the current youth of our communities will be the future leaders of these communities. They should be valued as twolegged, mobile repositories of our combined culture and history, a virtual bank of shared customs and values, traditions and desires.

Consider this, as you stare down the Main Street of your own town. What would you like to pass along? What component of community

I just returned from a week-long fishing trip in the St. Regis Canoe Area where the fish hit quite well despite the torrential rain. Not surprisingly, we found water temperatures and hatches to be running a few weeks behind this year.

Take a k id fishing: Ned K anze of Bloomingdale, hoists a nice smallmouth bass taken last summer along the R aquette River. life is the most important aspect to save for future generations? Hopefully, your community bank will not be filled with deposits that earn ‘No Interest’.

The next generation Without a mentor, or the mentorship opportunities provided through such traditional channels as scouting or 4-H, many rural youth will continue to lack the ability and know how necessary to effectively enjoy their surroundings.

If they are disconnected from nature, they will become strangers in their own land, and they will remain so. They will suffer, and the community will be all the poorer as a result. If they don’t use it, the place will never carry any value.

I fear this may be the first generation of rural "indoor children", detached and largely disconnected from the abundance of natural pleasures readily available in their own backyard.

It should be obvious, but local youth must come to recognize the Adirondack Park is a very special place. There is a reason the region continues to attract over ten million travelers every year, and they must understand.

We must learn to put aside the negative rhetoric, and all the sorry, old, anti- enviro-maniac nonsense that has plagued the region since the 1880’s. I know, I’ll take a lot of flack for saying so; but isn’t it about time to move on and to recognize what a truly incredible place we’ve got. Need a reminder? Take a trip of 100 miles in any direction, you’ll be happy to return home.

An old saying sums the mentality up pretty well, “A man is not without honor, lest it be in his own hometown”. I believe similar sentiments holds true in the commonly voiced, local view of the Adirondacks, “A Park is not without honor, lest it be in your own backyard.”

If this type of mindset is ever to be overcome, there must be a more concerted effort, on a local community level, to instill our local youth with a greater appreciation for their surroundings. We learn to love what we enjoy, but only if and when we have the means to enjoy it.

I believe the most effective method to ensure the long-term vitality of our communities is to provide our youth with the means and methodology to fully enjoy their surroundings.

I’ll use another analogy to illustrate my point. I never knew how good a cherry pie could taste, until I tried one. Then, I knew I had to learn how to bake one.

Comparably, I never realized how many Adirondack adventures were available, until I learned to paddle a canoe, and cast a flyrod. If we provide local youth with the skills necessary to fully utilize the local woods and waters, there would be far less chance of the ‘brain drain and bright flight” threatening our communities.

Brook trout boot camp A las, I have returned from yet another successful week-long fishing trip deep within the Adirondack wilds. I timed this one perfectly with ice out and my crew was rewarded with plenty of spunky spring brookies for our effort.

This was my annual trip into the St. Regis Canoe Area, an outing that has become a tradition for half a dozen of my fishing chums and I. Last year we celebrated my Dad’s 75th birthday there.

This year we dubbed the trip “Spirit of 76” in recognition of his B-day, even though he was unable to tag along because of work commitments.

Rest assured, you were there in spirit, pop.

Probably a good thing he missed this one anyway. While we caught a ton of fish, the atmosphere was dampened by five straight days of rain. Seriously, it started pouring last Sunday and did not stop until it turned to snow Thursday. Ponds ran high and brooks and rivers were roaring.

We’d head out in our canoes just long enough to get soaked, return for dry clothes and head out again. At one point, my buddy joked that he could have stood in an ice cold shower with his pack on for a day and come out dryer.

We’re actually contemplating using that as a training exercise prior to next year ’s jaunt.

There’s a thought — brook trout boot camp. Force cadets to march 5 miles through the forest carrying a Radisson and a 60-pound rucksack full of food and fishing equipment, while swatting black flies from their foreheads without dropping the 30-packs from under each arm.

Only a select few will make it, but they’ll be rewarded with washing meals of cold Spaghetti O’s down with frozen beer after sleeping on the ground in a paper-thin bag in near sub zero temperatures during driving rain and gale-force winds.

For those who are interested, I’ll have a sign up sheet tacked to my door.

Youth bowhunting bill on governor’s desk In other outdoor news, the state is poised to ink a bill allowing junior bowhunters to hunt big game at 12 years of age with adult supervision. The current age restriction is 14 years.

This is an important piece of legislation as it has been proven that introducing our youth to the sport of big game hunting at an early age increases the likelihood of them participating for life.

I also personally believe that bowhunting is an excellent way to introduce the young to hunting as it teaches patience and safety.

The bill has been passed by the state Senate and Assembly and now awaits only the governor ’s signature to become law this big game season. Outdoor groups, such as New York Bowhunters, are urging sportsmen to write or e-mail Governor Cuomo in favor of the law. To e-mail the governor, go to http://www.governor.ny.gov/contact/GovernorContactForm.php

Youth fishing derby slated The Willsboro Fish & Game Club will host its Mary Ryan annual youth fishing derby May 15 from 9 a.m. to noon with pre-registration is at 8:30.

The event is aimed at those ages 3 to 15 and there will be prizes and refreshments. There is no cost.

For more information call Jim Hotaling at 963-7430.

Spring Break Out Ride set The Hague Fish & Game Club has scheduled its Spring Break Out Ride for Saturday, May 14. This event, which includes an ATV and horse ride, will start at the clubhouse at 9:30 a.m. The fee this year is $15 as the club members will head onto the T&T lease and back onto club property.

All ATV riders must wear helmets and provide proof of insurance. Refreshments will be available, a horseshoe tournament will start after lunch and music will be played into the night. Club officials would also like to remind members that dues are due by July 1.

News of the Week

Gibson: U.S. fiscal crisis is looming Wants U.S. to leave Libya

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY – In delivering a speech this week to area business leaders, U.S. Rep. Chris Gibson (R-Kinderhook) warned that the nation will be swamped in debt if legislators don’t cut government spending and work tirelessly toward a balanced budget.

He said that to assure a healthy economy, the U.S. must slash spending, cut taxes and regulations, and increase production of domestic oil.

He identified job growth and government debt reduction as top priorities, as he expressed support for the Republican budget proposal passed in the House of Representatives several weeks ago.

That measure, opposed by every Democrat voting, calls for overhauling Medicare for future beneficiaries, imposing spending cuts on food stamps and Medicaid. $3.5 trillion next year, cuts $6.2 trillion in estimated expenditures over the next 10 years, when contrasted with the budget submitted earlier this year by President Barack Obama.

“The status quo is unacceptable — we need to get back to work and address our nation's fiscal health,” Gibson said, as he addressed area leaders Friday May 6 at the annual luncheon of the Economic Development Corp. of Warren County. The event was held at the Great Escape Lodge in Queensbury.

The level of government spending, now at 26 percent of the gross national product, needs to be reduced to below 20 percent, he said.

“We have to move back toward a balanced budget, because we're facing a tidal wave of debt.” he said, adding that ongoing costs of pending government programs are likely to push government spending to 28 times its present level.

He suggested a five-year spending cap as a partial solution.

“By 2050, We’ll be 125 trillion in debt under Obama's proposed budget,” he said.

The first place to cut spending he suggested, might have surprised a few in the audience. Gibson, a former Army colonel who served in four combat tours in Iraq, said Pentagon cuts were in order.

He said that deploying soldiers to 100 nations as the U.S. is now doing, was excessive. He suggested that the U.S. is overextending itself in policing the world like an empire, noting that the U.S. should back off from its involvement in the Libyan civil war.

“The track record of empires is not good,” he said, prompting hearty laughter and applause from the assembled business leaders.

He said that rather than flexing military might to influence others to adopt freedom, the U.S. should put more emphasis on diplomacy, commerce and trade.

should be reduced by 10 percent, and various functions could be performed as needed by local governments, he said.

Responding to questions from the audience, Gibson said that U.S. government standards for education should be replaced with guidelines, giving more power to local schools to devise curriculum and programs.

Lake Luzerne Supervisor Gene Merlino asked Gibson about his opinion on the 99-week federal unemployment payments. he said such lengthy payouts provided a disincentive for citizens to work, if they were guaranteed such a substantial income. These benefits reduce the number of local people available to work in Warren County businesses, he said, forcing many enterprises to hire foreign labor. Merlino operates a bed and breakfast in Lake Luzerne.

“These unemployment benefits may be making a generation of people lazy,” Merlino said.

Gibson responded that his father, who was a worker for Otis Elevator, was a hard worker but he was laid off repeatedly and spent a good portion of his working years off work.

“It's important to leave a safety net for our workers,” Gibson replied, noting he supported establishing incentives for businesses to hire workers.

Attorneys honor Dr. Rugge for affordable health care for all

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — Dozens of lawyers and others in the legal profession regionally gathered Monday to honor Dr. John Rugge, founder and CEO of Hudson Headwaters Health Network, for his work in making health care more accessible, affordable, and efficient – particularly in the rural areas of the North Country.

At the Warren County Bar Association's annual Law Day breakfast held Friday May 6, Rugge was presented with the group's Liberty Bell award.

Association President Malcolm O'Hara praised Rugge's accomplishments in the region, in the face of upheaval in rural health care, which includes doctors abandoning their rural practices and relocating to metropolitan areas where they can earn far higher income.

“He's developed a system of health care that's really exceptional,” O'Hara said, praising how Rugge was able to recruit doctors and meet the varied medical needs of local citizens. “It's amazing how Hudson Headwaters has grown — it’s a tremendous asset for this region.

Eileen Haynes, a lawyer with Barlett, Pontiff, Stewart & Rhodes of Glens Falls nominated Rugge for the award. She said that while she served on Hudson Headwaters' board of directors, she saw Rugge develop solutions to a variety of challenges.

“I nominated Rugge because of his vision and innovative approach to health care,” she said. “He has a strong commitment to provide primary care to all, regardless of a patient's ability to pay. There is no one more deserving of this award, considering what he's done for our area communities.”

She also noted that besides his work in developing and overseeing the operations of Hudson Headwaters’ 11 health centers in the region, he has conferred and advised with state legislators and executives in boosting health care statewide — all while managing to personally see a roster of patients. “i'm amazed what John Rugge crams into a single day — he fills his hours with purpose and passion,” she said.

Rugge has served on a national commission on Medicaid reform, the state Hospital Review and Planning Council and as a health care advisor to state Governor Mario Cuomo and former President Bill Clinton.

In accepting the Warren County Bar A ssociation’s 2011 liber ty Bell award Friday, Dr. John Rugge said more strides need to be taken to assure that health care in the U.S. is affordable and accessible for all citizens, regardless of their income or where they live.

Recently, he helped devise the Adirondack Medical Home Pilot program, which better coordinates care for people of all incomes by boosting the primary physician's role and expedites information between specialists and patients' primary doctors.

In November, the national Family Medical Education Coalition granted Rugge their “Power to Change the World” award for his role in re-engineering health care.

In accepting the Liberty Bell award last week, Rugge stressed the importance of making sure all receive adequate health care, regardless of income.

“I'm proud to achieve something that should come naturally, to keep the doors of our clinics wide open for everybody, regardless of social status, medical needs or insurance categories,” he said.

“If you treat anybody, you need to treat everybody,” he said. “You can't live in a small town and say ‘you have the wrong kind of insurance’ or no insurance and you can't be accepted as a patient.”

NORTH CREEK — The high water of the Hudson River kept some paddlers away from the 54th Annual White Water Derby last weekend, but gave others quite the ride.

Numbers were down, according to event organizer Kate Nightingale. Thirty-five boats entered the slalom race in North River, while 32 boats competed in the down-river race between North Creek and Riparius.

Nightingale attributes the numbers to people steering clear of the unusually high water this year.

“People who chose not to race for safety reasons probably made a sound choice,” she said.

During past derby weekends, the Hudson has flowed around 5 feet. This past weekend, however, the water was up around 8 feet, making for some treacherous rapids, but also covering up a lot of rocks and debris.

Nightingale took appropriate precautions to add more safety rafts and personnel as well as altered Sunday’s course. She moved the course to river right to avoid some of the more challenging parts of the river, while still keeping the course technical.

Overall, Nightingale was pleased with how the weekend turned out.

“My volunteers were great,” she said. “And everything went well. I look forward to next year.”

In her second year at the helm of the derby, she plans to continuing organizing the event for years to come.

Sharing in the success of the historic White Water Derby, the 2nd Annual Adirondack Adventure Festival grew from last year.

The adventure festival was planned through a cooperative effort of the derby committee and the Gore Mountain Region Chamber of Commerce to encourage derby participants and spectators to enjoy the offerings of North Creek while in town for the event.

“Running the two events together was a great idea and we are seeing more spectators for the races because of it,” said Nightingale.

The adventure festival offered a range of activities from scenic mountain bike rides to activities for children and saw and increase in their numbers from last year, according to event organizer Dave Bulmer.

“It’s going to be a slow process, but we are seeing improvement,” he said. “What we aimed to do with the two events is happening and more people are finding their way into town during race weekend.”

Briefs Sembrich to hold Open House

Keep our cemeteries pleasant It’s getting near Memorial Day, when many folks will be visiting cemeteries in the town of Thurman to remember those who have passed on. Local regulations for decorating include: • Do not plant any trees.

• Do not place any glass jars or use any breakable glass objects on graves.

• Dispose of any old decorations and place them in the nearest trash bin or bring a bag to carry refuse out.

• Don't bring ATVs on the lot and tear up the grounds.

• Both natural flowers or artificial ones are okay.

The town Cemetery Committee is not active at this time, so cemetery volunteers are depending on all citizens to help us keep the grounds nice.

On a personal note

How lucky can one get? With the weather so cold and snow remaining in the woods, I was shocked to be brought a bouquet of real May flowers on May Day! A gentleman in the neighborhood does never seem to forget a few of us when the May flowers are in bloom. Thanks!

May baskets were arranged and delivered Sunday, May 1 in the neighborhood. This old tradition is still being carried out in Thurman. At my household, we heard a knock at the door, so we opened it, no one was there, but a pretty little homemade basket was sitting on the porch. Those who received these nice surprises express their thanks to the May basket elves!

Anniversary wishes go out to Candi and Jerry Cameron on May 15, to Cindy and Bruce Belden on May 16, to Shelly and Roger Durkin on May 17, and to Robin and Mike Croissant on May 18.

Celebrating birthdays this week are: Lucas Smock on May 14; Tyler Cameron and Rex Reynolds IV on May 15; Cindy Crandall, Jackie Holbert, and Floyd Planty on May 16; Steve Baker Sr. and Lori Pennock on May 17; Hope Crandall and Muriel LaPoint on May 19; and Kathy Leigh on May 20.

Easter Dinner at the Bakers

Eileen Baker of Mud St. in Thurman held a big Easter dinner for family and friends and served around 40 people.

Everyone enjoyed the get-together — folks came from as far away as Albany.

Valerie Smarro of Indiana recently visited Thurman to spend time with her mom, Bert Wilde on River Road. They enjoyed dinners and lunches out and visiting other family members in the area.

Marc and Cheryl Kenyon of Bear Pond Road left on April 19 for a trip to California to visit their son Marc Kenyon Jr. and his family. Marc Jr. and his wife Jeanna and their two children Gibson and Lauren enjoyed celebrating his Dad’s birthday on April 23 while they were in California. The

Returning home, they were shocked to see Rte. 418 bridge closed, so had to backtrack and go home by The Glen, adding a few more miles to their long trip.

Over the fence

If Ripley was still around, we'd have a topic for his “Believe It or Not” books.

The day before Easter, Thurman residents awoke to a fresh coat of new snow covering the lawns which had finally started turning green. Then, three days later, we saw our thermometers hit a high of nearly 80. Beat that, Mr. Ripley.

During the week of April 27 to April 30 the Thurman Bridge on Rte. 418 was closed because of flooding — the Hudson and Schroon rivers both had rushing waters at record flows. The bridge was closed only a matter of hours, but during that time, many residents had to re-route through Warrensburg to go up through The Glen to get to their homes — with some worrying if they had enough gas to get there.

Free llama fertilizer is available locally — call 623-3987.

Bring your own containers.

For those Thurman residents who have been tending their front yard with the hopes of some official recognition, please note: the town of Thurman is not planning to hold a lawn contest this year.

If you see or hear of the misuse of alcohol or drugs by any of our teens, call the sheriff ’s anonymous tipline at 7619800. If a party is ongoing with trouble brewing, your call could save a life. No one will ever know you have called, unless you want it known.
