Marriott receives APA okay

CHANGE OF VIEW

This Week LAKE LUZERNE

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ Plans to develop a six-story upscale Marriott hotel and conference center in downtown Lake George Ñ an initiative anticipated to change the face of the village Ñ were approved last week by the Adirondack Park Agency.

This permit approval granted July 10 by the APA commissioners is considered to be the last substantial hurdle for the project before the 120-room hotel on Canada St. becomes a reality. The development is to include retail shops and a restaurant.

The project, which has sparked controversy over the past year, was approved unanimously by the APA commissioners Thursday after they discussed the project with developer Dave Kenny and his lawyer Jon Lapper for about an hour, APA spokesman Keith McKeever said.

Most of the questions posed by the commissioners were about stormwater management, the visibility of the structure Ñ which was allowed to exceed the APAÕ s 40-foot height limit by about 30 feet Ñ and whether Lake George VillageÕ s sewer plant CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Village accepts DEC consent order; agrees to upgrade sewer plant thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ The village sewer treatment plantÕ s ongoing discharge of effluent containing levels of nitrates that exceed state limits has finally prompted formal legal enforcement action by the state.

The Village of Lake George recently received an Order of Consent from the state Department of Environmental Conservation over the non-compliant effluent, and the village board voted Monday July 14 to agree to the order and its negotiated remedies.

The stateÕ s order noted that monitoring wells surrounding the plant, located on Birch Avenue, detected nitrate levels exceeding maximum permitted levels for 29 of 30 months in the series of biweekly tests over the past few years.

The consent order requires the Village to correct the excess nitrate discharge and fines the Village $3,900. It also requires the Village to submit an engineering report that defines the facility’s shortfalls and evaluates potential solutions for bringing the facility into compliance.

The village leaders have been aware of the effluent violations occurring for about five years, and they have already been working towards boosting the plant’s treatment efficiency to clean up its discharge. These ongoing improvements include not only new nitrate treatment devices, but also a new septic waste receiving system, rehabilitation of the sand beds that filter the effluent, and replacement of valves, piping and pumping stations. The village has also upgraded the sewer lines in the village in an effort to prevent infiltration and leakage.

Mayor Robert Blais told the public attending the monthly village board meeting Monday that he and the village trustees were expecting the consent order, and the village had been working with DEC for months to rectify the effluent violations. Ò WeÕ ve already begun to correct the problems and meet the DEC’s requirements,” Blais said, noting that the fine of $37,500 had been reduced, through negotiations with DEC, to a sum of $3,900.

A citizens advisory board has been appointed to oversee the projectÕ s progress. Serving on the panel are Dave Decker, Executive Director of the Lake George Watershed Coalition; Chris Navitsky of the Lake George Waterkeeper; and Jim Sutherland, a retired DEC environmental scientist. Blais said the committee has specified a timetable for the village to meet the Consent OrderÕ s requirements and has already initiated a series of nitrate test samplings to be conducted for 18 months around the plant and in West Brook. Blais said that the nitrate levels in West Brook are primarily due to sources of contamination other than the sewer plant.

“We’re only responsible for the effluent from our wastewater treatment plant, not the levels of nitrates in West Brook,Ó he said.

The advisory board also sent out Request for Qualifications to

engineering firms to devise plant upgrades to remedy the noncompliant effluent and six responses have been received. Three of these engineering firms were asked to submit proposals by Aug. 5, with interviews to follow two days later. By Aug. 14, a firm is to be chosen to conduct the engineering study and recommend plant upgrades to reduce nitrates.

The testing program is expected to cost $30,000 and the Fund for Lake George has volunteered to donate towards the cost. Ò The Village has a remarkable history of being good stewards to our beautiful lake,Ó Blais said citing various ongoing effort to protect the water quality and combat aquatic invasive species. Ò We have always been a leader in efforts to protect the lake and the environment,Ó the Mayor said.

Blais continued that the village will commit whatever resources are necessary to upgrade the sewer plant and meet the requirements of the consent order.

Upgrades to the sewer plant to reduce nitrates in its effluent is expected to cost $2.5 million to $4 million. Blais said he and village officials will be seeking federal and state grants as well as low-interest loans. Ò Whatever the cost, bringing our plant into compliance will be our first priority,” he said.

Fourth grade students visit Lake George dig site

By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

LAKE GEORGE Ñ New York State Environmental Conservation, a state archaeologist and Regent James Dawson collaborated with Lake George Elementary school to give fourth grade students the opportunity to view the dig at Millon Dollar Beach. Ò As part of our ethical statement and because we are publicly funded we make our best effort to make our work and findings available to the public,Ó New York State archaeologist Christina Rieth said. Ò We want to increase the educational value for these kids.Ó The dig sight at Million Dollar Beach was found by no accident in July 2013 as the Department of Transportation was undertaking the task of renovating and remodeling the parking lot and campsite. Ò We knew about the road construction,Ó said Steve Morange, historic preservation officer. “We knew that it was likely there were artifacts in this area given the fact that it was a one-stopshop for hunters and gatherers with the lake, the forest and the stream. We just didn’t know that we were going to find artifacts dating to the early Neolithic age (possibly 6,000-10,000 years old).

A table of artifacts found at the dig site were displayed for the students to observe. Most notably, a spearhead type instrument, which would have been in use during the period of time in which much of New York State was still sheeted with ice.

In the dig site archaeologists also located a hearth used for cooking by native occupational groups.

“This isn’t the first prehistoric era sight we have dug, but they are fairly rare,Ó said Rieth.

Board of Regents member and State University of Plattsburgh geology professor James Dawson also joined the class of 9 and 10 year-olds for their exploration of the dig. Ò This is one of the oldest dateable sites in the area,Ó said Dawson. Ò During the time period that the oldest artifact were dated, the lake was at a higher elevation probably 10-12 feet, there was a longer freezing time here. It is likely that the people in these occupations used the lake as a point to move north. This region

was heavily forested, walking on the ice would have made for easier traveling.Ó When Dawson was asked why he wanted to be present this day, he stated that he had a natural love for anything archaeologic.

Many artifacts that have been excavated during the dig will be on display at the Lake George Visitors Center where the state museum has fabricated display cases for this purpose.

The New York State curriculum for fourth and fifth grade students includes a broad look at state history including Native American studies. The Lake George fourth graders will continue on their journey in discovery with a trip to the state museum in June.

Ranches, Rodeos, Wranglers returns to Painted Pony

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE LUZERNE Ñ A gathering last year of cowboys, cowgirls Ñ and other enthusiasts of the regionÕ s dude ranch history Ñ is returning next weekend to Lake Luzerne.

The second-annual Ranches, Rodeos and Wranglers event is set for Friday July 25 through Sunday July 27, primarily at Painted Pony Rodeo & Saloon off Rte. 9N. The event received considerable attention in its debut last year, with cowhands and rodeo competitors from decades past convening and reminiscing about their experiences, sharing tales of the colorful characters who worked at the regionÕ s many dude ranches from the late 1940s through the early 1970s.

The 2014 wrangler reunionÕ s main program is set for Sunday July 27, with cowboys and cowgirls from prior decades talking about the bygone days at Thousand Acres Ranch, Hidden Valley Ranch, Roaring Brook, Painted Pony, and about 40 other dude ranches once active in Lake Luzerne, Stony Creek and elsewhere in the lower Adirondacks. Last year, the story-telling included western roping demonstrations and singing old-time ranch songs.

Various exhibitors will be sharing vintage photos, news articles and brochures that depict the dude ranch experience of bygone times, as well as saddles, chaps and other artifacts, event co-organizer Cindy Cameron said. People attending are urged to bring along photos so they can be scanned on-site and be shared with others, she said.

Also, authors of books on dude ranches in the Adirondacks will have their books on hand.

The day is topped off with a chicken & biscuit dinner, included in Sunday’s $25 admission price, beginning at 5:30 p.m..

From 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on both Friday July 25 and Saturday July 26, Painted Pony will be hosting free Ò meet and greetÓ public sessions with the ranch hands from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the venueÕ s pavilion, and a barbecue meal will be available beginning at 6 p.m.. Both evenings conclude with sanctioned championship rodeo competition for a modest admission charge.

Saturday features two free events off the Painted Pony premises: “Cowboy Coffee” from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. at The Marketplace store in the hamlet of Stony Creek, and a presentation from 11 a.m. to noon on area riding stables at the Gailey Hill School House Museum, near the senior high school in Lake Luzerne off Rte. 9N. Among those to give presentations are by Larry Bennett, Joe Hanlon and Don Baxter.

Highlights of the weekend include induction of a number of people into the Adirondack Cowboy/Cowgirl Hall of Fame. The names of the honorees are not to be disclosed until the ceremony, set for about 6:30 p.m. Sunday evening. Named for the honor in 2013 were the late Jim Cavanaugh and his wife Jeanie, owners of Rafter J Western World of Warrensburg; rodeo competitors Dave and Jeanne Reynolds; Ron and Kathey Martin of Double M Western Wear of Ballston Spa; Eunice Hubbell and Hub Hubbell Ñ an announcer, performer and contestant at Thousand Acres Ranch and RidinÕ Hy Ranch; and Don Baxter and his late wife Janie, who started up the Painted Pony Rodeo.

Last yearÕ s celebration not only focused on rodeo competitors but on Earl Woodward, who from the 1930s through the 1960s started up an array of dude ranches in the region.

This yearÕ s edition of the wrangler reunion will celebrate the recent designation of WoodwardÕ s home on the shore of Forest Lake as a National Historic Place. The National Day of the Cowboy, observed on June 26 this year, will be feted through the weekend.

Also to be featured Sunday is a cowboy poet and singer, as well as caricature artist Phil Singer. Among the cowhands to be reminiscing in SundayÕ s extensive program is Joe Hanlon, who worked as a cowboy entertainer with Windy Bill McKay during the 1960s at Storytown, now The Great Escape.

Pam Morin, who also organized the event, said three ranches have been added to the list of those featured at the annual wranglersÕ reunion: Longhorn Ranch in Corinth, and two other dude ranches in Garnet Lake.

Morin added that the public is encouraged to send names of cowhands and staff members who once worked at the 40-or-so dude ranches.

The existing list now has about 500 names on

Morin said she was enthusiastic about the reunion, which has been embraced by so many from near and far. Ò ItÕ s very moving to see this many people come together with so much in common Ñ many of them havenÕ t seen each other for many years,Ó she said. Ò So many people grew up in this dude ranch industry Ñ and it continues to this day.Ó

Opinion Adirondack Journal Editorial

The best defense when seconds count

A

recent column placed in USA Today draws needed attention to what the national media loves to sweep under the rug: statistics prove that guns can and do save lives.

The column was a paid advertorial called Ò The First-Responders ReportÓ which features real-life situations in which first responders — the intended victim Ñ were able to shoot down the people who attacked them or chase them off by show of arms.

The column is the first in a planned series by GunLaws.com, the website of Bloomfield Press, the countryÕ s largest publisher and distributor of gun-law books, based in Scottsdale, Ariz.

The firm’s publisher, Alan Korwin, believes the liberal national media turns a blind eye to covering situations in which an intended victim defends himself or his family with a firearm.

News reports, Korwin contends, make the mistake of using the term “first responders” for law enforcement personnel when they are often the ones who show up second.

The stories in KorwinÕ s column clearly make this case: A mom with a rifle stops a home invasion in Detroit; a bystander thwarts a kidnapping attempt and pins the assailants on the ground at gun point; a robber picks the wrong store, brings a knife to a gun fight; a woman fends off a man wielding a gardening tool with her sidearm.

These stories are rarely in the public eye, but are known to be common and the statistics affirm that.

A survey of national self defense statistics conducted by Florida State University criminologists found the rate of defensive gun uses annually nationwide is about 2.5 million per year Ñ one defensive gun use every 13 seconds.

Nearly 16 percent of the gun defenders interviewed in the survey said that someone Ò almost certainlyÓ would have died had the gun not been used for protection. Another 83 percent of those involved in successful gun defenses said the attacker either threatened or used force first, disproving the argument that having a gun available for defense wouldnÕ t make a difference.

In 92 percent of these incidents, the criminal attacker was not wounded or killed Ñ thus the incident would not be considered Ò newsworthy” by newspaper or television editors. In 73 percent of these gun-defense cases, the attacker was a stranger to the intended victim Ñ defens-

es against a family member or domestic partner were rare, well under 10 percent. This disproves the thinking that a gun kept for self defense will most likely be used against the owner or a family member.

Finally, in nearly 80 percent of these gun defenses, the defender used a concealable handgun. A quarter of the gun defenses occurred in places away from the defenderÕ s home.

A recent study conducted as part of the 23 Executive Actions signed by President Obama last year in an effort to reduce gun violence seems to make the same point. Interestingly, the study was commissioned to help tighten gun laws in the wake of the Newtown, Conn. tragedy, but many of the findings seemed to strengthen the argument in favor of an armed citizenry. Ò Defensive uses of guns by crime victims is a common occurrence although the exact number remains disputed,Ó the study concluded. Ò Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million per year, in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008.”

More important, it was discovered that when guns are used in self-defense, the victims consistently have lower injury rates than those who are unarmed, even compared with those who used other forms of self-defense.

So what does all this mean? We think the numbers speak for themselves Ñ the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun and when seconds count, the police are often minutes away, especially in the rural area in which we live.

Laws like Gov. CuomoÕ s Safe Act have proven to do little to prevent gun-related acts from criminals. Instead, these laws hinder the right of law abiding citizens to protect themselves from those breaking the law.

While politicians like Obama and Cuomo stump for more feel good legislation to appease their constituency, the statistics are clear that armed citizens stop more crime than laws regulating firearms or even law enforcement personnel.

We applaud Alan KorwinÕ s effort to draw attention to that fact. ÑD

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden One Hundred Years Ago – July, 1914 Severe electrical storm

The first really bad electrical storm of the summer broke over Warrensburg on Sunday afternoon, Aug. 1, 1914, at 2 p.m, and lightening played many strange pranks for about two hours.

There were considerable sharp lightening flashes and heavy crashes of thunder. Rain fell in torrents and for a time big hail stones made a rattle like musketry as they fell upon roofs and pavements. The trolley cars and telephones were put out of commission for several hours, but the damage to them was trivial and quickly repaired.

James Culver, chauffeur of C.H. GlassbrookÕ s Stanley Steamer, run on the Warrensburg Ð Chestertown route, was under his machine in the Grand Army House barn, making some repairs, when lightening struck the front of the machine and passing under it, came in contract with one of CulverÕ s wrists, passing up his arm, over his shoulders and down the other arm. He was slightly burned and numbed for a short time, but soon recovered. The car was not damaged.

Fred Brainard, a Lewisville, Warrensburg youth, was bathing in the Schroon River and with two other boys sought refuge from the storm under a boat overturned on the shore. Just before a flash of lightening, young Brainard’s hand came in contact with a wire attached to the boat and when the crash came he received a slight shock which made him for a short time unconscious.

John G. HuntÕ s barn in the rear of his residence on upper Main Street, was struck and several clapboards were torn off. A fire was started by lightening during this heavy shower on Mead Mountain on land owned by Horton Cooper. The heavy rain falling extinguished the flames before any extended space was burned over.

Lightening started a forest fire on Lon Fosmer’s wood lot near the South Horicon Bridge. Frank Owens, fire warden, helped to extinguish the flames. (Note – The Grand Army House was on the corner of Main and Water Streets and HuntÕ s barn stands today at 3927 Main St., directly across the street from the Warrensburg post office. Recently, one hundred years later, a powerful storm ripped through Warrensburg on July 8, 2014, which included a low grade tornado in North Creek that brought down trees and wire damage in this whole general area. The Bible tells us that there is nothing new under the sun. History repeats its self, over and over again, but a hundred years ago no one thought to blame the weather on Ò global warming.Ó )

History recorded, blow by blow

Henry Griffing, since his boyhood, considerably more than half a century back, has had the hobby of collecting local statistics. Methodical in his habits and painstaking to a degree, he has kept a record of happenings bearing upon the history of Warrensburg and also Thurman, his native town and these facts have been carefully tabulated and filed away in the capacious vaults of the office building of the B.P. Burhans & Son. He has, for many years, presided as confidential agent of the estate and with rare fidelity and skill, managed the vast interests confided to his care.

Few people are aware of the wealth of information thus made available for the future historian of this town. Complete data will there by ready to his hand, and filed away in an orderly manner are written records of town and county affairs which are invaluable, an ingenious system of indexing enables the compiler to find in an instant any desired data.

Of the fifth generation of the Griffing family, the subject of this

Memories: Days of yesteryear

emember when a few pennies in your hand made you feel rich? After all, the country store had candy and gum that only cost one penny. And when you walked to and from the one-room school, you might be lucky to find a penny or two on the dirt road. By the age of 6, you learned if you saved your pennies, you could spend them all on pieces of penny candy or wait until you had five, and that was a nickel. The store had many things for a young child to spend their nickel on. Bottles of pop set in a water-cooled Coke cabinet with many choices....Root Beer, Birch Beer, Lemon Lime, Orange, Coke, Grape and Ginger Ale, which all cost 5 cents each

sketch was born in Thurman, July 28, 1839, the son and fifth child of Nathaniel and Susan Boyd Griffing. At the age of 15, he came to Warrensburg and entered the employ of Burhans & Gray in their general store, which was then located in the building now occupied by the Grand Army House, which has been entirely rebuilt since those days.

Continuously since that time Mr. Griffing has been employed by the Burhans estate and has for many years been in charge of their business affairs. In 1864 he built a telegraph line from Lake George to Warrensburg which was afterward acquired by the Western Union Telegraph Company. In 1911, he published a book for private circulation entitled, “Stephen Griffing; Ancestry and Descendants,Ó a history of his family from 1648 to the date of publication.

Although Henry Griffing’s accomplishments are too many to count, his most prominent characteristic is his modesty. (Note Ð The Warrensburg Historical Society and the Warrensburg Museum of Local History would not stand on the solid ground that it does today if it were not for men like Henry Griffing who had the foresight to see how very important record keeping was for future generations.

Today, Town Historian Sandi Woolley Parisi and her husband, Museum Director Steve Parisi, who have recently published their fabulous new book, Ò Warrensburg New York, 200 years of people, places and events,Ó have carried on this noble tradition and kept our Queen Village alive in the minds of our present and future citizens and has well preserved the memory of these original men and woman who made the town the great place that it is today.

In 1975, former Vermont Governor Thomas P. Salmon wrote, Ò Our rebellious forebears had stamina and ingenuity. They had to be resourceful and tough-minded to survive. They spoke only when they could improve upon silence. They had true grit and a deep respect for the rights of others.Ó

Saratoga Lake teenagers lost

A search directed by the Saratoga, N.Y. officials is in progress at Saratoga Lake for the bodies of Arthur Winney, 16, of Schenectady and Ethel, 18, and Charlotte, 19, Hermburg of Troy, who went out in a rowboat and had not been seen since. The overturned boat was found on the shore.

Area deaths mourned

Mrs. Etta Lamoy, 31, wife of the Bakers MillsÕ pastor, the Rev. William Lamoy, died. She had been in poor health for about two years, but the immediate cause of death was paralysis, with which she was stricken two weeks ago.

Besides her husband, she is survived by a daughter, four years old. She had made many friends during her brief residence in Bakers Mills. The body was taken to Chazy, Mr. LamoyÕ s home town, where the funeral was held.

In other news, Helen Elizabeth Wells, infant daughter of Albert Wells of Lake George, died July 22, 1914, at the home of Clinton Weaver in that place. The child was only nineteen days old and her mother died eight days before.

Chestertown happenings

Bradley Stafford, appreciating the relative value in poultry, is building a house in which to protect his flock of chickens. The Rising House has its quota of permanent summer and transient guests. The local dancing set, in part, tangoed continuously for forty minutes at the Chester House dance, Saturday evening, July along with big candy bars such as HersheyÕ s Clark Bar, Bolster, Planters Peanut, Peppermint Pattys, Chucks or gum, chicklets by the pack.

Another choice, if you wrote letters, you could buy five penny postcards or a 3 cent stamp and get two pennies back in change.

This little country store also had a post office, two Esso Gasoline pumps and sold cans of motor oil. Plus, they sold food grain for cows, horses, chickens and food for you pets. They even had kerosene and wicks for the kerosene lamps and lanterns of your small stoves.

Other items were canned fruit, cereals, matches, bread, aspirin tablets for headaches, salt, pepper, sugar, flour and yeast.

But supplies were kept low. So many times a trip had to be made to Warrensburg to purchase more supplies.

This little country store gave people the chance to get their needs and put them on a small charge pad. They usually were paid within the next week, which kept an open chance to charge again if it was needed.

The penny items were kept in a glass and wooden cabinet.

You had a big choice to buy one or 10 and choose what kind

25, 1914. The Chester House was well patronized by autoists this past week. (Note Ð The grand old Chester House hotel was on the north corner of Thieriot Avenue and Main Street in Chestertown. In 1914, it was more than 100 years old and the successful proprietor was Harry S. Downs, who inherited it from his father.)

News roundabout

The grasshoppers have done considerable damage in Bakers Mills. Some farms have been almost entirely free from them while others are swarming with the pests. They completely destroyed some gardens and fields of hay, so that there is none left for the farmers to cut. The tent meetings conducted there by the Pentecostal Holiness people are still in progress and will continue.

North and east of Chestertown the hay crop is poor and good in some spots only, but to the south it is excellent.

The old custom of farmerÕ s driving to town at the close of their dayÕ s work is largely abandoned owing to the autoistsÕ demand for most of the roads and the blinding light of head lamps.

Four hundred and forty pieces of property on which the county tax has not been paid will be sold in October by County Treasurer Beecher W. Sprague. The back taxes on these properties amount to $7,070.26. There are 155 pieces of property in Queensbury to be sold.

Hadden family news -2014-

In one way or another, history touches us all in some small way.

Many of us have been waiting with baited breath observing the progress of the new owners of the former 1833 Merrill Ð Magee House, at 3 Hudson St., working to bring the former 181 year old farmhouse back to life after being empty for probably the first time in its long history. It was formerly the family home of Stephen Griffing, 2nd., one time owner of the 1825 Adirondack House (now Rite Aid location) across the street.

With a great deal of pleasure I learned that my son, Maclane Hadden, was given the task of producing and erecting the big new sign, currently located on the house lawn, denoting the first phase of the project was in progress. Mac had an opportunity to tour the property and reported to me all the good progress that has been made. We all owe a deep vote of respect and gratitude to these great new owners who are contributing so much to our town and to its history.

In other news, in the summer issue of Pasttimes, the Warren County Historical SocietyÕ s newsletter, my friend, Marilyn Van Dyke collected a fine 85 year history of aviation in Warren County. Detailed was the history of Floyd Bennett airfield, located on what is now Aviation Road in Queensbury where the Queensbury School is located today and under people associated with the airport was listed my late husband, Merv Hadden.

When Merv returned to Warrensburg from World War II in 1947, he flew home in his own airplane. He told me many stories about later flying into the Floyd Bennett Airfield in those days and tales of his friends, Ò GusÓ Ham and Ralph Ò PopÓ Pease. Occasionally, when we were out riding, we would stop and visit his friend, Francis Poutre who always made us feel welcome. In later years the airfield was abandoned and this coming November, 2014, Merv Hadden will have been dead for 20 years. This great article brought back a lot of happy memories.

Readers are welcome to contact Adirondack Journal correspondent Jean Hadden at jhadden1@nycap.rr.com or 623-2210 that you liked. There were little red Swedish Fish, which were very chewy, along with Tootsie Rolls, a pack of three caramel type candies, bubble gum, lollipops, Mary Janes and Root Beer Barrels.

Many neighbors would meet and visit if they came at the same time. But their visit and greeting were short as they had to get home to do chores. And there was no telephones or electric in the early 1940s in our small town. They all went to church on Sunday mornings and would catch up on family news after the services. In those days, people walked to neighbors homes for visits. But that was not often. And many didnÕ t have cars and traveled by horse and buggy.

All of the young kids soon learned to save their pennies, which bought sweets for themselves and their brothers or sisters and also a special surprise for Mom and Dad. Would the kids today be happy with this small treat?

Tick awareness

Among many this season, there have been sightings and altercations with ticks. Some are unaware of what to do when coming in contact with these insects and have legitimate concerns regarding Lyme disease. Here is some information I would deem useful for you. The first thing to mention is that if you come in contact with a tick, do not panic! Not all ticks are infectious with Lyme disease and if one does happen to bite you, chances are proven to be less likely that you will be exposed to such disease if the tick is removed within twenty-four to thirty-six hours. Secondly, there are three ticks to be informed of: 1) Deer which is roughly the size of a poppy or sesame seed, orange and brown in color with a black spot near the head, 2) Lone Star which has a star-shaped white spot on its back and does not cause Lyme Disease but Southern Tick Associated Rash Illness; aka STARI, and 3) Dog which is larger than a deer tick and is red and brown in color. The most common tick people come in contact with is the Deer. Ticks do not fly or jump but are transferred to their victim when one brushes against most types of vegetation or wildlife.

Similar to the previous mention of black flies, it is important to wear long sleeved shirts, pants tucked in, and bug spray with at least twenty percent DEET when spending time outdoors in woodsy areas. Also, one should stay close to the center of trails when hiking so encountering ticks is less likely as well. To conclude, it is important to check, double check, and even triple check yourself when returning indoors. The best places to examine for ticks are the back of knees, behind the ear and scalp, back, and armpits. If you do find a tick and you have not been bitten, use tweezers to grab the tick and place it in a small bowl of hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol to kill it. If the tick has bitten you, again, do not panic! Simply use tweezers to remove the tick by grabbing its head or mouth and pulling firmly and steadily, being careful not to jerk or twist. If you begin to develop any form of rash in the shape of a bull’s eye or flu-like symptoms, please do not hesitate to get yourself checked by a doctor as symptoms can be easily disguised and if left untreated, can spread into the joints, nervous system, or heart. However, if there are no symptoms within three days, chances are the tick carried no disease and you have not been infected.

Marriott

From page 1 could handle the additional sewage from the hotel, which is expected to accommodate an estimated 109,500 guests annually.

McKeever said the APA commissioners followed the APA staffÕ s recommendation for approval with conditions that address primarily stormwater and visibility concerns, many of which were addressed months ago in the process of complying with requirements set by the village planning board. Ò Our staff conditioned the project so itÕ s consistent with the hamlet,Ó he said. Ò We believe the project will bring people and development into the hamlet Ñ with the least impact to the environment,Ó McKeever said Tuesday.

Lake George Mayor Robert Blais, a long-time proponent of the project, hailed the APAÕ s permit approval. Ò The hotel and convention center will result in increased yearround activity here, which is enormous for the village,Ó he said, citing that the new jobs to be created. He said that considering Marriott’s reputation and its worldwide influence and advertising, thousands more people would be introduced to the beauty of Lake George and the amenities of the village.

Several environmental organizations have objected to the development based on the additional load on the village sewer plant, and its existing lack of compliance to maximum nitrate levels in its discharge.

The wastewater from the hotel is expected to reach up to 23,600 gallons per day, according to the APA permit. Monday, the village of Lake George approved signing a consent order with the state Department of Environmental Conservation, agreeing to upgrade their municipal sewer treatment plant to remove excess nitrates in the plant’s effluent — an ongoing problem for years.

The APA permit, however, states that the sewer plant has the excess capacity — 250,000 gallons of effluent per day — to properly treat the additional sewage flowing from the hotel and restaurant as determined by a 2012 engineering study of the plant.

According to the APA permit, the additional potential sewage from the hotel and restaurant are estimated to be 23,680 gallons per day. The permit also notes that the village has recently been upgrading the efficiency and effective capacity of the plant.

The hotel is to feature stepped roofs, dormers, stone and timber accents and other architectural amenities as required by the village planning board. Such features were added after outcry was voiced by local citizens months ago over how the initial plans had long, blank walls.

The permit requires the hotel to be built with materials bearing colors of earth tones, including green and brown.

The roof of the hotel, permitted to built up to 72 feet high, is to feature a landscaped rooftop garden for guests to enjoy a view of the lake.

All structures that exceed 40 feet in height within hamlets in the Adirondack Park are required to acquire an APA permit. Anticipating this hotel development last year, the village board voted last year to increase the maximum allowed height for buildings in various areas downtown from three stories to six.

All outdoor lights on the hotel are to be shielded so their light is directed downward, not into the sky, nor toward the lake or neighboring properties. Also, all of the buildings and its equipment are required to be as energy-efficient as feasible.

According to the APA permit, 65 letters were received expressing opinions on the development Ñ 19 in support and 46 in opposition.

Opponents cited concerns such as the hotel being too large and out of character with the village, that it would overburden the sewer plant, views of the lake would be adversely impacted, as well as storm water runoff into Lake George, possible traffic congestion, lack of parking and proximity to the high school.

Letters of support cited how the project would increase tour-

ism and boost local commerce, create a substantial number of quality jobs, lessen the tax burden on residential property owners, prompt new upscale development. Also cited was how the developmentÕ s year-round operation would make life in the village more sustainable and pleasant.

The development is to be located across Canada St. from Lake George and about 600 feet from shoreline. The APA permit cites that considering the substantial existing commercial development on the shoreline, the six-story hotel would have minimal visual impact.

The 18-page document notes that the developers have responded to the concerns cited by citizens.

The permit cites that the development will create 20 full-time and 10 part-time jobs for the hotel, and five full-time and five part-time jobs in the restaurant. Kenny said Tuesday that he expected twice that number of full-time employees to be working in the restaurant.

He said he was pleased that the APA staff and commissioners gave the project thorough, objective consideration. Ò We put a lot of time and effort into the plans, and we hope everyone will really enjoy the development,Ó he said. Kenny continued that the Northway carries a lot of traffic, and many travelers that once drove past Lake George will now be drawn to Lake George due to the availability of a Marriott hotel. Ò The APA treated the project very fairly Ñ and they asked a lot of questions to make sure everything was in order,Ó he said.

Kenny added that Marriott officials were enthusiastic about situating a hotel in Lake George. Ò One of the things that impressed us from day one was MarriottÕ s interest in the site in downtown Lake George Ñ they loved the location.Ó Jon Lapper, attorney for the project, said the APAÕ s review was thorough, and it formalized a variety of requirements sought by the village planning board. Ò This hotel and conference center will help diversify the villageÕ s customer base, he said, noting MarriottÕ s reputation. Ò It should help all the other restaurants and stores in the village as well as providing many new jobs.Ó He said that work on the project would likely begin this fall beginning with demolition of existing buildings on the 2.1-acre site. Lapper added that the target completion date for the hotel and conference center was spring 2016.
