Warren County mulls solar power

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ With an intent to save on soaring utility expenses while reducing environmental stress, Warren County leaders are now eyeing several facilities in Warrensburg for a pilot solarpower program.

July 18, Warren County supervisors endorsed the plans of county public works

superintendent Jeff Tennyson to solicit proposals for providing solar or alternative power for Countryside Adult Home, the nearby Warren County Cooperative Extension headquarters, and the town of WarrensburgÕ s municipal water well adjacent to the Extension offices.

Tennyson said that the county would soon be issuing a request for proposals to provide power to the facilities, which could result in offers to place dozens of

photo-voltaic solar panels on the Cooperative Extension and Countryside Home sites, or the county agreeing to purchase electricity at a reduced price from a solarpower farm constructed by a private enterprise.

In the latter arrangement, The solar power could be provided in a power exchange arrangement as both Lake George municipalities and Washington County CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Soon to celebrate her 100th birthday, Warrensburg woman reminisces

Abbie Hastings (right) and her good friend May Haight cool off their feet, likely after a summer’s hike up Hackensack Mountain in Warrensburg at some time during the 1930s, according to Abbie’s son John Hastings, a local historian. He added that May’s mother was the pastor of the First Baptist Church in Warrensburg at the time. Abbie Hastings is celebrating her 100th birthday this weekend.

Open house honoring Abbie Hastings set for Saturday

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ A woman whoÕ s lived in the Warrensburg region since the outbreak of World War I is celebrating her 100th birthday this weekend, and people from the community are invited to join the festivities.

Born premature at home and weighing only several pounds, her doctor predicted she wouldnÕ t survive Ñ but she has indeed thrived, living well into the next century.

All are invited to stop in at an open house for Abbie Davis Hastings, to be held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday July 26 at AbbieÕ s home, 208 Potter Brook Road, off Rte. 28 north of Warrensburg.

Abbie, an expressive woman with a quick smile who looks decades younger than her calendar age, talked this week about her life Ñ growing up in Warrensburg since she was a child and raising a family on her family homestead on Potter Brook Road.

Abbie Davis was born on July 30, 1914 to Robert and Satie (Whittemore) Davis in a little house on Coffin St. in Glens Falls, a road once intersecting South St. in the city. The doctor attending the birth negotiated with her father Robert, to trade a live pig for his services, according to Abbie and her son John.

After her family lived in several different homes in the city, they moved to East Corinth when Abbie was about four years old. Not long after, the family moved to Warrensburg, she said.

“When we first came to Warrensburg and I started in the lo-

cal schools, we lived in the last house on Library Avenue,Ó she said.

After a year, Abbie and her family moved to Harrington Hill, and she attended the North Caldwell School. Housed in a small building on Truesdale Hill Road, the school combined all grades, and one teacher instructed a dozen or so students.

Satie Davis stayed home to raise Abbie and her other four children while her father ironed shirts, at first in a Glens Falls shirt factory, and during later years in the Empire Shirt Factory in Warrensburg.

When Abbie was 11 or 12, the family moved to Burdick Avenue in Warrensburg. Then when she was 14, they moved to a home on Truesdale Hill Road, and she continued to attend the North Caldwell School.

At age 16, Abbie and her family moved back to the hamlet of Warrensburg, this time into a two-family home on Smith St., she said. At this time, she quit school after the eighth grade and went to work in the Warrensburg Shirt Factory. She started out stitching pockets, getting promoted thereafter to shirt assembly. She recalled that she was paid 3 cents to assemble a dozen shirts.

Abbie Hastings, celebrating her 100th birthday this weekend, spends some time July 18 in her yard with two of her sons — David (left) and John (right). Born July 30, 1914, her centennial birthday will be celebrated Saturday July 26, and residents of the Warrensburg area are invited to attend an open house from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at her home at 208 Potter Brook Road — where she’s lived for nearly 70 years.

Abbie & Buster start a life together

Abbie Davis married Willis “Buster” Hastings in 1938, a few years after her father brought him to their home for dinner Ñ the two men both worked at the local Empire Shirt factory.

Not long after the marriage, Abbie then left her garment work, staying home to raise children, and she and Buster lived in a bungalow-style home off Truesdale Hill Road until they moved in 1946 to a home on Potter Brook Road, where she still lives. The home dates back to the late 1800s.

Abbie recollected that when her family moved in, the house had no electricity, so over the ensuing years, Buster gutted one room after another, installing electric wiring and insulation one room at a time until their home was modernized.

Besides attending to her children, Abbie cooked, performed housework, planted gardens, and canned food. Meanwhile, Buster Hastings worked at the Warrensburg Fish Hatchery, a state-run operation in its early years.

Abbie recalled how canning food in the 1940s and 1950s meant boiling vegetables for three to four hours on her stove, requiring her to stay up until midnight to accomplish the work. Ò I used to can bushels at a time,Ó she recalled.

Abbie and Buster had five children: Roscoe, who’s now in Rochester; Jennie Taylor of The Glen; Donald, a Town of Hadley resident; John, now in Queensbury; and David, who remains a Warrensburg resident.

During her adult years, Abbie Hastings was well-known in town for her baking, particularly for her cakes. She baked and decorated wedding and birthday cakes from scratch in her kitchen, at first in her vintage porcelain woodstove, and later in her electric range. For a modest sum, she sold the cakes to neighbors, friends and others.

She was also known for her white bread, rolls, apple pies and cookies, David Hastings recalled with a smile.

Abbie remarked that one of her earliest memories Ñ a very fond recollection Ñ was making mud pancakes as a four-yearold and Ò cookingÓ them in a woodstove, abandoned in a nearby

Photo by Thom Randall

yard in Corinth Ñ which foreshadowed her later baking career.

Listening to her recollections, David Hastings gazed at his mother.

“Her memory is far better than ours,” he said, prompting laughter from his brother John.

As a teenager and long into her 20s, Abbie enjoyed singing in the choir at the Warrensburg First Baptist Church, as well as participating in their youth group. Ò Church was my mainstay, and the youth group was wonderful,Ó she said. During the mid-19th century, she was also active in the Rebekahs organization, an offshoot of the Oddfellows lodge in town.

Abbie’s later years: active and eventful

Active throughout her adult years, Abbie took up golfing at age 70. She continued to garden until she was 90 or so, she said.

Abbie and Buster had 11 grandchildren Ð nine of which survived Ð and she has eight great-grandchildren.

Despite her modest eighth-grade education, Abbie wrote three short books focusing on her experiences, with the help of John Hastings. Her book “Grandmother’s Memories of Yesteryear” was published in 1999, followed by More GrandmotherÕ s Memories” in 2004. Just a few years ago, she wrote “A Stitch in Time — Memories of the Empire Shirt Factory,Ó published in 2011, when she was 97 years young. The books are in the collections of the Warrensburgh Museum of History, Richards Library and Crandall Library. ThereÕ s talk circulating of the books being re-issued in honor of her attaining her 100th year.

Friday, Abbie credited her longevity to genes as well as her upbringing, lifestyle, strong faith, and hard work. Her mother lived to age 92, her father until he was 98, and her siblings all lasted past their 90th birthdays. Ò ItÕ s a matter of good parents and living a good wholesome life,Ó she said.

Strolling outside to pose for a photograph, Abbie Davis Hastings offered advice for those half her age. Ò Work as long as you can, enjoy yourself doing it,Ó she said with a wide smile. Ò It helps you stay young.Ó

Wranglers reunion set for this weekend

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE LUZERNE Ñ Following its popular debut a year ago, a reunion of cowhands and former workers at the areaÕ s many dude ranches is returning this weekend to Lake Luzerne.

The Ranches, Rodeos & Wranglers event, which was embraced by hundreds of people last year, 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 2013 debut, with cowboys and cowgirls from decades past reminiscing about their experiences at the areaÕ s dozens of dude ranches from the late 1940s through the early 1970s.

The 2014 wrangler reunion’s main program is set for Sunday July 27, with former cowhands and rodeo talking about the bygone days at Thousand Acres Ranch, Painted Pony, and many other venues.

Various exhibitors will be sharing vintage photos, news articles and brochures that depict the dude ranch experience of bygone times.

People attending are urged to bring along photos so they can be scanned on-site and be shared with others. Also, authors of books on dude ranches in the Adirondacks will have their books on hand.

The day ends with a chicken & biscuit dinner, included in SundayÕ s $25 admission price.

It begins 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. A barbecue meal will be available beginning at 6 p.m. both days, and the evenings conclude with sanctioned championship rodeo competitions at a modest charge.

Saturday features Ò Cowboy CoffeeÓ from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. at The Marketplace store in 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. Presenters include 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 at about 6:30

p.m. Sunday.

This yearÕ s wrangler reunion is to include 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 the late Windy Bill McKay, who was honored recently at The Great Escape amusement park.

The public is encouraged to send names of cowhands and staff members who once worked at the areaÕ s dude ranches. The existing list now has about 500 names on the reunionÕ s roster.

To add a name to the list of dude ranch hands, or for more information, contact Pam Morin at 696-7184 or pammorin@frontiernet.net

Second farmers’ market to open in Warrensburg

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ While many citizens in southern Adirondack communities wish their town hosted a weekly farmersÕ market, Warrensburg citizens will soon have two local markets to patronize.

With about a dozen vendors of produce and specialty goods signed up, the new Gateway Market is to be launched Tuesday July 29 on Main St. in Warrensburg.

The market is to held in the parking lot of Oscar’s Smoke House, north of the center of town.

Gateway Market, to be held weekly from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesdays Through summer months, is to feature an array of naturally grown and conventional produce as well as regional wine, maple syrup, cut flowers, and handcrafted items.

The Gateway Market joins the Warrensburgh Riverfront FarmersÕ Market, which is now enjoying its 17th year of popularity in providing an array of produce and gourmet goods on Friday afternoons.

Gateway Market is a new venture for Mark Bertsche of Warrensburg, who sharpens knives, scissors and tools.

Bertsche said this week he had been a vendor at the Riverfront Market, but he was frustrated that he couldnÕ t make money because the market only had several hundred patrons per week due to its location on Rte. 418 — so he started the Gateway Market this year at a far busier location: Main St., or state Rte. 9. ÒI am organizing the Gateway Market because I am committed to increasing the prosperity of local and regional farmers and vendors,” he said, noting that traffic studies have recorded from 10,000 to 15,000 vehicles per day traveling on Rte. 9, a major route into the Adirondacks.

Bertsche said the Gateway Market will be convenient for all those who either live in Warrensburg or pass through town Ñ residents of the southern Adirondacks as well as tourists and vacationers.

Bertsche added that it was his aim to add to the shopping choices, rather than compete with the Warrensburgh Riverfront Market Ñ and thatÕ s why he chose to hold it on Tuesdays rather than Fridays, a day of the week he really preferred.

Bertsche said he plans on surveying vendors and market customers for their preferences as to hours and selection of offerings.

ÓC ustomers and vendors are going to drive the direction of this market,Ó h e said.

Another unusual aspect of this market is that he is turning to Òc rowd fundingÓ of the market to make it prosper. Crowd funding is routinely accomplished by asking people over the Internet and on social media to bankroll the operation. Bertsche has a request on GoFundMe.com for donations, which are to be used towards customer amenities, like picnic tables and entertainment at the market. Bertsche has set a crowd-funding goal of $1,200, and heÕ s raised more than $100 so far.

Among the vendors to offer produce at the Gateway Market are the Reardon Family Farm of Diamond Point with their naturally grown vegetables and an array of melons; Saratoga Apple with their local fruit and produce; Adirondack Mountain Mushrooms, Sweet Pea Farm of Bolton with their produce, maple syrup and cut flowers; and a vintner from Corinth with his craft wines. Another

vendor will be offering smoothies and coffee, he said.

Teresa Whalen, founder and manager of the Warrensburgh Riverfront FarmersÕ Market, noted that her market was one of the very first in the southern Adirondacks — and that with all the new venues starting up, competition for both customers and vendors was increasing. ÒT here are too many farmersÕ markets already,Ó s he said.

Town officials noted that they have for years encouraged Whalen to move the Riverfront Market to either the town recreation field or to Main St., but she preferred to keep it in the Riverfront Park that she and Kaena Loo helped develop for the town decades ago.

Bertsche said he planned to ask Whalen to serve on his marketÕ s board of directors. ÒT eresa has many years of knowledge about operating a farmersÕ market, and that could help us out,Ó h e said.

Over twenty vendors and hundreds of patrons visited the Arts Festival at the market on July 18th including the Adirondack Folk School, authors Pat Leonard and Yvona Fast, artists Mary Landenberger and Donna Wormwood, and many more artisans and farmers celebrating our homegrown talent and culture.

Northway tour bus crash kills Canadian teen

per hour while preparing to pass. Ò ThatÕ s the speed limit,Ó he said. Ò I opened the top and people started getting out,Ó Matthieu said. Ò Some people were hurt, some cuts. A lot of blood, not big injuries. People were in shock.Ó Matthieu and Stephen assisted authorities in translation efforts from French to English.

The family was on their way to Clearwater, Fla. They said they will continue with their travels.

Smith commended the family later at a press conference without releasing their names. Ò Each family risked their own safety and did everything they could,Ó he said. Ò They need to be commended for the human value of their efforts.Ó

pete@denpubs.com NORTH HUDSON — A teenager is dead, and 55 passengers were taken to area hospitals with injuries after a tour bus veered off the shoulder on Interstate 87 and onto the median on Friday morning, July 18.

The deceased has been identified by state police as 14-year-old Chelssy Mercier of Quebec.

New York State Police Major Richard Smith III said Mercier was partially ejected from the vehicle, which then came to rest on her. After responders used jacks to lift the bus, resuscitation efforts by passerby, and state police were unsuccessful. Ô QUICK SUCCESSIONÕ The 2008 Prevost passenger coach carrying Canadian tourists was traveling south on I-87 from Charney, Quebec to New York City when it veered off the shoulder of the highway.

Essex CountyÕ s Department of Emergency Services received multiple reports starting at 7:46 a.m. of an accident near mile marker 95 and Exit 29.

Essex County Emergency Services Director Don Jaquish said at least six calls came in at quick succession. Ò It was one right after another,Ó he said.

Ten emergency service squads and three fire departments responded. Ò There were multiple individuals outside of the bus,Ó Smith said.

All passengers, reportedly between the ages of 6 and 54, were removed from the windshield and top hatch.

Smith said he believed all occupants were Canadian nationals containing multiple generations of family members.

It was later determined the bus did not contain seatbelts. Ô MASS CASUALITY INCIDENTÕ At the scene on Friday, the bus lay on its side with the front windows punched out. Ahead, the triple lines of iron guide wire were splintered; plastic strewn was across the southbound lane and the ground opened in a deep gash.

All 55 passengers, as well as the driver, were taken to local hospitals.

Essex County Emergency Services Coordinator Patty Bashaw referred to it as a mass casualty incident.

All were transported, some with a bus from Westport Central School, for safety reasons. Ò Once the adrenaline wears off, there may be cuts and bruises,Ó she said. Ò Crushing-type injuries.Ó None were believed to be life-threatening, she said.

Thirty-six patients were transported to Elizabethtown Community Hospital (ECH), two to Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital, eight to Moses-Ludington in Ticonderoga, nine to Glens Falls and one had been transported to Burlington via

North Country Life Flight, according to Bashaw.

Three to five of those individuals were transported with serious injuries, Smith said.

The injured included 41 code green patients, what Bashaw called Ò the walking wounded.Ó Ten were code yellow, or moderately injured, with three code reds that required immediate transport.

CAUSE UNKNOWN No cause has been given in the crash. Eyewitnesses reported no obstacles on Interstate 87 prior to the accident.

The bus did not ignite, nor were any skid marks visible at the scene. Ò It rode the contour of the median and tipped onto its side,Ó Smith said.

The driver, a 61-year-old Canadian male who has not been identified, will be given an evaluation to determine his fitness to operate the bus, Smith said last week.

‘PEOPLE WERE IN SHOCK’ Quebec resident Stephane Donnelly told the Valley News he was driving behind the bus, preparing to pass it on the right, when it veered off the road into the median. Ò I saw it swerving to the left,Ó Donnelly said.

DonnellyÕ s wife, Chantele, who was traveling in another vehicle with other members of their party, placed the initial 911 call.

He and his son, Matthieu, 17, approached the bus and started pulling the injured out of the overturned bus.

Stephane estimated he was driving between 65 and 68 miles

INVESTIGATION A collision reconstruction unit will study where and why the bus left the road and where it traveled. New York State Department of Transportation officials will also open an investigation, Smith said.

The bus will be transferred to the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit in Ray Brook. Ò We still have whatÕ s commonly referred to as a Ô black boxÕ containing braking, speed and additional data,Ó Smith said.

Authorities will download that data to help piece together the causes, he said. Ò It will give us some indication what was going on.Ó State and federal agencies were on the scene alongside members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Ò We will coordinate with what the passengers believed happened and put that together with the evidence,Ó Smith said.

COMING HOME On Friday evening, a tour bus emblazoned with the name “Menard” waited in ECH’s parking lot to ferry the survivors back to Canada. Inside, investigators from the state policeÕ s Bureau of Criminal Investigation attempted to piece together what had happened.

Outside, a scrum of reporters from Canadian news agencies remained as 17 patients were brought in from Glens Falls and Moses-Ludington for transport back to Canada.

ECH vans later blocked the press from the survivors as they boarded the bus for the long drive back.

Online, a Facebook page for Mercier, a brunette with a mischevious smile, had been set up. Ò I was in the bus,Ó wrote Alain Blais in French. Ò My condolence to the family, parents and friends.Ó Ò I was also on the bus,Ó wrote Veronique Blais. Ò All my thoughts and prayers go out to you.Ó Ò As a Dad who loves my two girls of 15 and 11, and his boy of 13, I can only humbly offer to the parents and friends my sincere condolences,Ó wrote Richard Desgagne. Ò Keep in your memories and treasure the moments that allowed you to live this small

Warrensburg updates its purchasing policy

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ In response to criticisms contained in a recent state audit of town government finances, the town board changed its procurement policy at its recent July town board meeting.

The board repealed the townÕ s 1992 procurement policy and unanimously passed a new policy that calls for awarding contracts on the basis of Ò best value,Ó rather than requiring the board to award them to the lowest bidder.

The new policy allows the town board more choice in awarding contracts for services or products, town supervisor Kevin Geraghty said.

For instance, an engineering firm bidding on a project may have more knowledge about a particular project or town infrastructure than competing firms, so its services would be more appropriate and save time and money for taxpayers — reaping better results than those firms submitting higher bids, Geraghty said.

But when accepting a bid or quote other than the lowest submitted, the town must fully document its justification for doing so, he said.

Also, the townÕ s new purchasing policy conforms with updated state standards, Geraghty added.

In other business, the town board: • heard from Supervisor Geraghty that the state has approved the quote submitted by Atlantic Contracting & Specialties to conduct asbestos and lead abatement work on the Floyd Bennett Bandstand, a preliminary step in the project to rehabilitate the bandstand. The abatement work, to begin soon, is to be accomplished for $23,500.

• voted to pay Colvin Computer Consulting to install a security camera system at the town recreation field and pavilion for the sum of

$2,377. The array of cameras are to monitor activities there to discourage vandalism Ñ which has occurred recently Ñ and to aid in identifying perpetrators.

• awarded $50 in Occupancy Tax funds to help sponsor the Warrensburgh Historical SocietyÕ s annual Sticky Wicket croquet competition.

• decided to spend $2,235 in Occupancy Tax receipts to pay Ed Zibro towards advertising his annual Warrensburg Bike Rally.

• voted to lobby Time Warner Cable to include Mountain Lakes PBS in its standard channel lineup, due to its ongoing news and features on issues in the Adirondacks.

• authorized Supervisor Geraghty to sign a contract with Equity Lifestyle Properties for the town to accept wastewater from the Lake George Escape Campground at a price of 4.5 cents per gallon.

• voted to hire an asbestos abatement contractor to survey & remove any asbestos from a building at 13 King St. property before demolishing it. The property, recently acquired by the town through foreclosure, is to be used for expansion of the adjacent town highway garage.

• received a certificate of appreciation from the local American Legion Post 446, thanking the Warrensburg town highway and recreation department employees for their Ò outstanding service and dedicationÓ to the American Legion programs.

• heard that the town summer recreation program is in full operation, and runs until Aug. 15. In addition, the townÕ s swimming lessons at Echo Lake Beach are offered every Wednesday and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. for beginners and 11:30 a.m. until noon for intermediate swimmers.

• expressed congratulations to members of the Warrensburg High School Class of 2014 for achieving the highest average Scholastic Aptitude Test scores of the 83 school districts in the Capital Region for the 2013 college entrance

All hail the King

overnor Andrew Cuomo traveled to Indian Lake and North Creek last weekend for the Adirondack Challenge, the daylong extravaganza designed to promote recreation and tourism in the Adirondacks to downstate lawmakers and their urban constituents.

And of course, to the press, who were given access to some of the most powerful people in the state padding around in their flip-flops with the tacit understanding that they would beam these telegenic photo-ops directly into the living rooms of the American public, a display of Mad Men-level public relations ingenuity.

While it may be tempting for skeptical residents to write the effort off as a highly-choreographed dog and pony show Ñ and it is easy to scoff at the pageantry that bordered on high art, the political triangulation and the prime cuts of red meat thrown to an attention-starved population Ñ the governor should be recognized for his outreach to a region that has been left in the doghouse for far too long. ÒY eah, yeah, yeah,Ó youÕ re probably thinking. ÒO f course the woodchucks at my local newspaper are dazzled by the high-powered wattage.

How typical.”

But his record speaks for itself.

Finch Pruyn. Cuomo hammered out the compromise deal that will allow access to the 69,000 acres previously controlled by the timber company to all user groups, those arriving on both mechanized sleds and foot-powered Keds. The North CountryÕ s future has been beholden for too long to downstate environmental do-gooders who treat the region as their personal playground, caring little for the people who live here and even less about their economic futures.

WeÕ re happy to have a leader who isnÕ t afraid to buck their aggressive lobbying efforts and craft a plan that ensured both sides walked away with partial victories.

Funding. Cruising from the media attention generated by his trip down the Hudson, Team Cuomo used the spotlight to announce funding for another round of projects that will expand recreational opportunities in the Central Adirondacks, including $750,000 to upgrade the Abanakee Dam on the Indian River. ThatÕ s huge. Another quarter-million will be allotted for the development of facilities and trails that advocates hope will transform the region into a premier equestrian destination. Some might call it political pandering, others may scoff that the money was destined for the community anyway, just under a different name from a different agency at another time. We call it smart politics.

Promotion. Cuomo has spoken repeatedly on his love for the Adirondacks, a seed planted dur-

ing childhood getaways. This soft spot has blossomed into his tenure as the stateÕ s top elected official and has now bloomed into huge marketing pushes, including a $40 million advertising campaign that his office says has boosted visitations to the state by 4.2 percent last year, double the national average. North Country tourism is a $1.1 billion industry, generating $144 million in state and local taxes. We call any official who broadcasts our attractions to the wider world by simply inviting his colleagues in government for a weekend trip a visionary.

Hyuck! Like we said, we’re not starry-eyed simpletons who get gooey whenever the governor bats his eyelashes at us. Please.

We still disagree on many issues, including the Gap Elimination Adjustment that has left rural school districts in dire straits; the SAFE Act that has whipped gun owners into a fury and the property tax freeze that will force North Country officials to demonstrate shared services to give taxpayers a miniscule rebate check, pioneering governance our elected officials have been doing for years out of necessity with zero recognition from the state.

But those are all indicative of the upstatedownstate dynamic that cleaves New York, a divide that sees officials representing constituents from worldÕ s leading city serving in the same legislative body as officials presiding over the most empty and remote land tracts in the country, the cosmopolitan hum versus the blackfly buzz.

The state’s highest elected official has to rule from the center to be effective. Cuomo has done that, which means that our victories must be tempered with bitterness. He’s walked the line well and should be commended for being a masterful political operator and a sincere advocate for the North Country.

While itÕ s only a matter of time until Cuomo will aggravate us with another foolish proposal or budget deal, whether offering to bankroll college degrees for criminals or continuing to dance around delicate issues like fracking, we hope that we can settle our future differences here in the Adirondacks with another athletic challenge, one inspired by another strong New York Governor who had a friend in the North Country: WeÕ ll call it the Teddy Roosevelt Challenge, an event designed to engage lawmakers in bareknuckle boxing, endurance horseback races and singlestick, a full-combat sport using cudgels, at Tahawus, the abandoned mining village in Newcomb.

Like you said yourself, governor, the best is yet to come Ñ y ou ainÕ t seen nothing yet. ÑD

Do you think there is a trend toward police agencies becoming more, or even overly, militarized?

I havenÕ t noticed because I really donÕ t have any involvement with the police. I have noticed increased security with things like the Lake Placid marathon. ItÕ s different. ItÕ s not like when we grew up.

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden One Hundred Years Ago - July, 1914 Killed by gun play

A Remington automatic rifle, the most cherished possession of Levi Mosher, a young man of Thurman, was the instrument of his death early Sunday morning, July 5, 1914, when the weapon was accidentally discharged in his hands and the .32 caliber bullet entered the upper part of his abdomen, on the right side and taking a diagonal course downward, tore through the intestines and lodged in his left hip. The accident occurred about 30 rods from the young manÕ s home where he resided with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Mosher. He lived for about 15 minutes after the bullet struck him.

Young Mosher, accompanied by Miss Margaret Wright of Corinth, who was visiting his parents, started about 7 a.m. to walk to Warrensburg to call on his sister, Mrs. James Walker. They had gone but a short distance when Mosher asked Miss Wright to go back to the house and get his gun, stating that he wished to take it with him. She tried to dissuade him but he insisted and she went for the gun. On returning, she handed it to him with a box containing the cartridges. One of these he placed in the gun and started on, idly swinging the weapon in one hand, as said to have been his habit when carrying it. The gun, one of the latest models, is equipped with a safety device, and it is probable that Mosher thought this was fastened though a subsequent examination showed that it was not. While the muzzle was pointed at his body, the cartridge exploded, and the fatal wound was inflicted.

As they were walking along, the young man was pointing out to his companion some fields by the roadside where the day before he had finished a large amount of farm work which he spoke of with pride. Miss Wright was looking away from him when the gun was discharged and, when she heard the report, turned to see him sinking to the ground with the pallor of death upon his face. Ò My God, IÕ m shot. Tell the folks to be good!Ó he exclaimed and lapsed into unconsciousness.

The girl raised the dying manÕ s head to her lap and screamed for help. The father, who was in the house a short distance away, heard the report of the gun and was quickly on the scene. The injured man was carried to the house, and every effort was made to staunch the flow of blood from his terrible wound. He partially recovered consciousness though he was unable to speak.

When asked if he was dying, he made a slight inclination of the head showing that he understood the question. Dr. J.M. Griffin of Warrensburg, was summoned, but young Mosher was dead before he arrived. James E. Goodman issued a certificate giving the cause of death as an accidental shooting.

Besides his parents, the young man is survived by three sisters and one brother, Mrs. Charles Kenyon, Mrs. James Walker, Mrs. John D. Cameron and Henry Mosher. The funeral was held July 8, 1914 at the Methodist Episcopal Church in Athol, with the Rev. Arthur S. Tracy officiating. There was a very large attendance.

Eerie reoccurrence

George Mosher, a brother of deceased Levi Mosher, who recently died July 5, 1914 of an accidental gun shot wound, was almost the same age as Levi when he also died of a gunshot wound on Oct. 15, 1905 and by a strange coincidence the wound which caused his death was located in almost in the same part of the body.

George Mosher was killed while hunting at West Stony Creek with Attorney William M. Cameron and some other hunters from Glens Falls. Mosher was making Ò the driveÓ and was found

still alive between two logs with his gun by his side with one barrel empty. He was not strong enough to give any details, but his friends were convinced that he tripped over the logs and discharged the rifle. The bullet then entered his right breast, passing through the lower part of his lung.

Memorial fountain erected

With an oration by Governor Martin H. Glynn, a memorial fountain erected by the citizens of Saratoga, in memory of the late Spencer Trask, the first chairman of the New York State Reservation Commission, was dedicated there July 14, 1914 in Congress Park. The governor, who spent the night at Yaddo, Mrs. TraskÕ s home, was escorted by Company L, Second Infantry, to Convention Hall, where the services were held. The ceremony of unveiling the memorial took place in the new quarter of a million dollar village park system which had been completed.

Miss Frederica Mitchell, a niece of Mr. Trask, pulled the string which released the veil and George Foster Peabody, Chairman of the Reservation Commission spoke briefly. Several thousand spectators attended the dedication ceremonies. (Note - Spencer Trask was born Sept. 18, 1844 in Brooklyn. In 1874, he married author Katrina Nichols, and they resided in their summer home at Three Brothers Island, Triuna, on Lake George before they built Ò Yaddo,Ó a fairy tale mansion in Saratoga. A multi-millionaire, financier and philanthropist, he invested in and supported Thomas EdisonÕ s invention of the electric light bulb and, in 1896, was the majority shareholder and chairman of the New York Times. Spencer Trask, 65, died Dec. 31, 1909 in a train accident on New Year’s Eve. His Saratoga Springs memorial was entitled Ò The Spirit of Life.Ó Twelve years after his death on Feb. 5, 1921, his wife, Katrina Trask, 68, married her husbandÕ s best friend, George Foster Peabody, at West House, a place called, Mansell Alsaada, on the grounds of Yaddo. She died the next year, Jan. 8, 1922 and is buried in the rose garden at Yaddo.)

Doing things the old way

The making of hand-knitted mittens and stockings still occupies the attention of a few of the all-year around residents of the Lake George section. On a recent visit, a Glens Falls news reporter met Mr. and Mrs. Caleb Baker of Bolton Landing and Mrs. Baker proudly exhibited the ancient spinning wheel that has been in the family for 100 years.

Wool from sheep is raised near by the Bakers, washed and then taken sent to Warrensburg, where it is carded and returned after which Mrs. Baker, with the aid of the spinning wheel, turns it into yarn used in the manufacture of the sox and mitts so much desired in winter by residents of the colder regions. The yarns are doubled and twisted into fine strains of thread, a process that adds to the wearing quality of the stockings and mittens.

Thomas Derby, Corinth inventor

The auto fender safety lamp, an invention of Thomas Derby, formerly of Round lake, now a resident of Corinth, is about to be placed on the market. The lamp is lighted by gas or electricity and is attached to the fender of the automobile where at night it marks the clearance space between cars going in either direction.

A company has been formed by C.A. Tyre and John H. and W.J. Pitkin to exploit the lamp and Mr. Derby will go on the road for the new concern.

Wandering toddler leads to arrest in Horicon

HORICON — James A. Cullen and wife Bianca Cullen were arrested by New York State police and charged with endangering the welfare of a child July 15, when their daughter Eleanor, 2, was found walking the streets of the town unaccompanied well after dark.

State Police were notified of the incident around 9:15 p.m. when a passing vehicle spotted the toddler on the roadway. The driver whoÕ s name was not revealed by police, was said to have waited by the road several minutes waiting for a parent to appear.

When no parent was seen the driver brought the child to the Horicon Fire Department, according to police.

The child was then taken to a home on Market Street close in proximity to the fire department, where a department member thought she may live.

The child was said to have exited her residence and walked south on Market Street near Mill Pond where she crossed over a bridge and a section of well traveled state Route 8.

The child was unattended for 30 to 45 minutes, said police. Child Protective Services was notified of the incident and both James and Bianca Cullen were issued appearance tickets for the Horicon Town Court.

torboat races on Lake George which are to take place at the end of July, 1914 on the Sagamore course. Interest is high among the summer visitors who are interested in the historical facts of the boats on the lake. The syndicate’s boat, the 26-foot Hawk Eye, a one-step hydroplane owned by several Lake George men, with A.L. Judson as chairman, was designed to be the fastest racing hydroplane in the world. It was built by The John L. Hacker Boat Company of Watervliet, with a guaranteed speed of 50 miles an hour, and the companyÕ s sales manager states that it has exceeded that speed on a straightaway course by ten per cent.

The boat is powered with a 300 horse-power, 12-cylinder Van Blerck motor and a speed approaching the mile a minute seems assured. It was built for the Gold Cup Races on Lake George last summer, 1913, but failed to win because of breakdowns.

The chain drive, where the break occurred, has been replaced with a gear drive and the Hawk Eye is expected to give an account of itself racing this summer. (Note - Hacker Craft boats, the company first being created in 1908, was named for founder, John Ludwig Hacker, who died in 1961. These boats are still very much alive and well today on the lake and are truly a thing of beauty. Between 1911 and 1915 the Kitty Hawk was declared the fastest boat in the world. Automobile giant, Henry Ford owned a Hacker Craft. These magnificent hand made mahogany motor boats, a whisper of the past, may be seen on the lake today and in their showroom at Silver Bay, Lake George.)

Looking back at history

It was just 137 years ago, July 27, 1777, that Indians murdered and scalped 17-year-old Jane McCrae in Fort Edward as she was on her way to the British camp to visit her fiancée. Sarah McNeil, who accompanied Jane that awful day, survived and died later in 1799 at the age of 77. (Note Ð Jane McCrea was born in New Jersey, the daughter of Rev. James McCrae and is buried in Union Cemetery, Fort Edward, south of where she was murdered by the Wyandot Indian Le Loup and his followers, who were allies to the British. This pretty red headed girl had been on her way to visit her boyfriend, British officer David Jones. Next to her grave is buried her friend, Sarah Gordon Frasier Campbell McNeil and Duncan Campbell. JaneÕ s poor mutilated body was moved three times and dug up four times since her demise. The last time recorded was 2003.)

Mailman makes his rounds

It is more than 10 miles from the Lake George Post office by wagon road along the shore of the lake to Bolton Landing, and over this road two stages carry the mails Ð one in the morning and another in the afternoon. One team is driven by Charles Davis, who purchased the stage line last spring, and he employs Marlon Merrill to drive the second stage. Winter and summer for many years the mails go through, sometimes with the snow up to the horseÕ s backs and again with the thermometer many degrees below zero.

Along the stage route are hotels and many dwellings and camps and the stage driver stops to pick up mail which is placed in hand-made clothes-bags and hung out on a nail where the stage man can get it without leaving his seat. On the return trip, the bags containing in coming mail are placed where the driver found them.

On several places on route watering troughs are found. They are fed from springs up in the mountainside and led in pipes to barrels by the side of the road.

Solar Power

Jamboree

From page 1

From page 1

Solar arrays behind the town of Chester Municipal Center are one of several photo-voltaic installations that are producing an estimated 250,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity annually and saving the municipality many thousands of dollars per year on its utility bills. Faced with soaring electricity costs Warren County is now seeking to launch a pilot alternative-energy program.

“We’ll consider all reasonable verified proposals,” he said.

Tennyson recommended that Clark Patterson Lee engineering firm evaluate any proposals submitted — due to their experience in power production, power purchase agreements and knowledge of county facilities. Ò To proceed, we need real numbers instead of mere estimates,Ó Tennyson said.

He continued that in order to reap the benefit of the state and federal grants and incentives, it was wise to seek the proposals within weeks.

He said that if the chosen option called for erecting solar arrays, such construction work should be accomplished this fall.

Months ago, James Seeley, Executive Director of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Warren County, researched alternative power options for the site as the agency uses a substantial amount of electricity annually to heat and cool their county-owned building, and utility bills have risen as much as 30 percent in recent months.

At the time the research was conducted, county leaders talked of pursuing a joint venture with the Town of Warrensburg, which operates a drinking-water well on property beside the Extension offices.

party band from the Capital Region whose members have impressive resumes.

This renowned rock Ô n roll cover band is booked for Saturday beginning at 6:30 p.m., a half-hour earlier than in previous years. As in past yearÕ s appearances, the band is expected to draw a substantial crowd.

Gates open for the weekendÕ s fest at 6 p.m. on Friday.

While youth enjoy the attractions of the midway and rides, adults can review the array of goods to be up for bid in the annual auction, which begins at 6:30 p.m.

Presiding over the bidding action is auctioneer Jim Galusha of Thurman, who’s been a fixture at the Jamboree for decades.

Both days, adults enjoy placing bets on the roulette-style money wheels, attempting to multiply handfuls of greenbacks, while clowns and a magician circulate in the crowd and amuse children with their stunts. This year, the Joey D Magic Show is booked to entertain children.

ThereÕ s an entrance donation of $5 per person on Saturday and $3 on Friday.

On Saturday, the gates open at 5 p.m. as the Warrensburg firefighters grill up their famous chicken barbecue while After FX Deejay service provides music, fire company president Kevin Geraghty said. Ò Each year, we make small changes to spice up the Jamboree,Ó he said.

The AudioStars stir up the crowd beginning at 6:30 p.m.

The evening is capped off with a fireworks show at dusk.

Geraghty said the Smoke EatersÕ Jamboree has remained popular for 53 years because it is a fun social event that offers activities for all ages.

Noting that in recent years weather forecasts have an increasing influence over attendance at public events, Geraghty noted that through the years, the Jamboree has generally been blessed with storm-free weekends. Ò It never rains on the Smoke EatersÕ Jamboree,Ó he quipped, expressing thanks to individuals and businesses whose donations make the event possible each year.

have been separately pursuing.

In those proposed arrangements, the municipalities sign contracts spanning up to 20 years that call for an array of solar panels to be constructed by a solar engineering firm and bankrolled by private investors on behalf of the municipality. These panels are to supply the amount of electricity to the stateÕ s power grid that offsets the aggregate amount the municipalities normally use.

The municipalities donÕ t bear the up-front construction costs of the solar arrays, but they instead would likely be benefiting financially from the installation, by paying less for electricity month-by-month to the private entity that owns the installation than they would to local utility provider National Grid Ñ as long as prevailing utility rates donÕ t fall.

The municipalitiesÕ savings on utility costs is accomplished through the private investors reaping generous tax credits of up to 30 percent and other incentives offered by the state and federal governments.

In the case of a proposal entertained this year by the town and village of Lake George, the amount saved would depend on the future price of electricity Ñ with savings of millions of dollars if the electricity rates rose sharply over the years, or even a loss of thousands annually if the price of electricity fell. Their proposed arrangement, with Apex Solar of Queensbury, called for a solar farm to be built in Washington County to feed the grid.

The town of Chester has a different arrangement Ñ one that reflects less risk and is now producing nearly 250,000 kilowatthours of electricity annually. Chester has dozens of photo-voltaic solar arrays operating at several municipal sites in town, feeding the power grid.

Solar power enterprise Edge Design of Plattsburgh bankrolled the equipment and installation, while Chester pays Edge an amount for the power that reflects a guaranteed savings of 10 to 25 percent over what they would have paid National Grid. The contract extends for 10 years, after which Chester owns the panels. Revenue from excess energy produced and distributed over the power grid is divided between Edge Design and Chester.

Tennyson said Friday that Warren County could pursue any of these options, as well as those employing technologies other that solar arrays Ñ they could simply be power purchase agreements that guarantee the county savings.

Adirondack Challenge From page 1

and their two children had sent the media off earlier from the launch point with a gauntlet of good-natured splashing, including helmets full of water from a gleeful administration official.

They were gaining, creeping uncomfortably forward down the rapids.

Team Essex County Ñ a raft containing Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas, County Attorney Dan Manning and Wilmington and Elizabethtown Supervisors Randy Preston and Noel Merrihew Ñ remained comfortably at a distance. Ò I think weÕ ll have the winning advantage,Ó observed Preston before the launch. Ò The light will bounce off DouglasÕ head into the GovernorÕ s eyes.Ó Reporters powered ahead under Grade 3 conditions, part of a flotilla of rafts, one released every minute.

Team Cuomo never caught up. Ò You guys were strong,Ó Cuomo said afterward. Ò You did it.Ó CHALLENGE Cuomo was in Indian Lake for the 2014 Adirondack Challenge, the second installment of the event series Ñ part tourism promotion, part legislative field trip — designed to draw attention to the Adirondacks by shuttling delegations from the state legislature up to the North Country and pitting them against each other in a bout of good-natured athletic events.

Paired with a public invite to area amenities, the goal was to boost the region’s profile across the state.

The three-mile rafting trip, coordinated by local river guides, took elected officials, including heavyweights like Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and State Senate Coalition Co-Leader Jeff Klein, through a slice of the 69,000 acres of recently acquired tracts from Finch Pruyn that will soon be available for public use.

Department of Conversation Region 5 Director Bob Stegeman said his agency is looking forward to crafting a Unit Management Plan that will balance ecology with the economy. Ò ItÕ s paramount in protecting our natural resources,Ó he said.

Link, who runs Square Eddy Expeditions, said the newly unlocked land might translate into increased opportunities for his business, the smallest rafting guide service in the area. Ò ItÕ s great to be part of this celebration,Ó he said.

PLAYFUL COMPETITION The state-organized competitions, which also included flyfishing, golfing and hiking, were friendly but streaked with undercurrents of intra-county North Country rivalries. Ò Make sure your headline reads, Ô Franklin County Wins,Õ said Franklin County Legislature Chairman Billy Jones. Ò We had super-soakers.Ó Jones echoed other lawmakers in the importance of the GovernorÕ s appearance.

“Any time the top official in the state comes to our region, it’s really a good thing,Ó he said.

New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo participated in the Adirondack Challenge on Sunday, July 20 in Indian Lake in Hamilton County, an event designed to promote tourism and economic investment in the Adirondack Park. He’s pictured here engaged in healthy competition before joining 20 other rafts in a trip down the confluence of the Indian Lake and Hudson rivers.

“It’s fantastic,” added Hamilton County Chairman Bill Farber.

He said many seasonal visitors are unaware that rafting is a summertime activity, not limited only to the spring melting season. Ò JulyÕ s a great time to do it, and I couldnÕ t be happier.Ó Like the promotional boosts that came before, including a Winter Challenge this past March in Lake Placid, Cuomo invited lawmakers from across the state to participate.

Assemblyman J. Gary Pretlow (89th, Mt. Vernon) said he was happy to be back in the Adirondacks after four months downstate. Ò ItÕ s still the most beautiful part of New York,Ó he said.

Pretlow said he didnÕ t realize how much work rafting entailed. Ò I think we had the best time,Ó he said, referring to his teamÕ s speed.

His crew was organized by legislative committees, said Assemblywoman Addie Russell (116th, Watertown), not by region. Ò Four of the six of us were together last year,Ó she said. Ò ItÕ s a great resource,Ó said Assemblywoman Michaelle Solages (22nd, Nassau County), who was also on their team. Ò People can go on a staycation right here in the Adirondacks.Ó Jim McKenna, CEO of the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism, the state agency tasked with promoting tourism across a growing swath of the Adirondacks, said the mingling of officials cannot be overstated, especially when it comes to exploring the possible emerging tourist opportunities, including the OK Slip Falls, the highest waterfall in the Adirondacks that will soon be open to visitation as a result of the aforementioned land deal. Ò Sheldon Silver getting on a raft is big for us,Ó he said, something that would have been unimaginable 18 months ago. Ò Growing up in Manhat-

July 26, 2014 tan in the 1950s, Ô up the creek without a paddleÕ had a different meaning,Ó said Silver at a luncheon following the rafting excursion at Gore Mountain in North Creek.

He called the Adirondacks one of the few places in the country that is both beautiful and inspiring. Ò Everyone should experience the Adirondacks in their lifetime,Ó he said while exhorting North Country lawmakers to reciprocate by traveling to New York City, his stomping ground.

Assemblyman Dan Stec, the North Country leader who represents much of the North Country alongside Janet Duprey, the 115th District Assemblywoman from Peru, said the trip also served a practical purpose. Ò ThereÕ s a great value in our fellow lawmakers knowing what we have while debating local issues,Ó he said. Ò ItÕ s tremendous.Ó In comments introducing the Governor, State Senator Betty Little, Chairwoman of the Tourism Committee, upgraded CuomoÕ s designation from what she had previously deemed the areaÕ s Ò Number One TouristÓ to the Ò number one tourism promoter, a hero and an honorary North Country member, a person who is truly for us in Albany.Ó Little said the Governor has been tireless in urging millions of tourists from New York City to visit the Adirondacks. Ò ItÕ s not far of a drive, a wonderful challenge,Ó she said. Ò Tourism is our business. The more people come, the more business will prosper and continue to grow.Ó The senator, who represents much of the Adirondack Park, encouraged state residents to relocate their small businesses to the North Country and cited the importance of high speed internet access and broadband. Ò We need more year-long residents to come to our community to make a sustainable economy,Ó she said. Ò Governor Cuomo knows what our needs are.Ó Little also cited the importance of local agriculture and food production.

New York, she said, ranks second in maple syrup production. Ò LetÕ s get to number one,Ó she said.

GOVERNOR’S SPEECH The Governor, echoing his speech at the Winter Challenge to lawmakers and dignitaries in March, stoked similar fires, recalling the emergent spirit, energy and vitality of the region and circled back to jobs and exposure as a lynchpin to the North CountryÕ s success. Ò If we create jobs, everything else will take care of itself,Ó he said.

He ticked off a series of statistics: A $40 million advertising campaign led to $4 billion in revenue for the state, a new record, he said. Eight million new tourists. Four-hundred and sixty thousand new jobs since the end of the recession; $2 billion tax surplus in state coffers, four years of balanced and on-time budgetsÉ a recent boost in the stateÕ s credit rating that has led to its highest ranking yet. Ò WeÕ ve broken every record established,Ó he said. Ò And this is just the beginning Ñ you ainÕ t seen nothing yet. The North Country is coming back big time.Ó
