‘Railroads’ in peril Model museum may move from Pottersville

This Week

‘Sticky Wicket’ tourney returns

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com

POTTERSVILLE Ñ Railroads on Parade, the worldclass museum of model trains complete with lavish milliondollar layouts, may be moving away from Pottersville if a new venue with more tourist traffic is secured.

ThatÕ s not all thatÕ s in the works.

The displays, created by the internationally acclaimed set designer Clarke Dunham and his wife Barbara, may be liquidated unless a new financial backer steps forward.

The museum, lauded at its debut in 2010 as a major new tourist attraction in northern Warren County, is “in dire financial straights,Ó Barbara Dunham stated in an email to the Adirondack Journal this week.

Clarke Dunham confirmed the warning on Aug. 5, noting that patronage of his museum has not met his and BarbaraÕ s expectations. Ò Our current investor wants out, and we need to pay back a $450,000 note,” he said. “If we can’t line up that sum, I lose everything and Pottersville loses a major attraction.”

WARRENSBURG Ñ The 2014 Warren County 4-H Youth Fair, featuring a talent show, contests, games and exhibits, is set for 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday Aug. 9 on the Warren County Fairgrounds.

While Warren County youth fairs have in years past featured an extensive lineup of attractions over a full weekend, the 2014 fair has no vendors nor amusement rides, and is to last only four hours.

The downsizing is due to budget cuts as well as changes in society,

according to officials of Cornell Cooperative Extension, the agency that conducts the fair. Warren County Board of Supervisors cut the agencyÕ s funding drastically in recent years, and volunteers to direct youth activities are increasingly hard to find.

While in the 1990s, Cooperative

Extension’s 4-H program had 15 to 20 active 4-H clubs run by volunteers, only one 4-H Club now exists, and most all of the 4H youths operate independently without clubs, John Bowe of Cooperative Extension said.

Railroads

Continued from page 1 The Railroads on Parade museum has been lauded as having potential as a national attraction Ñ and providing a welcome boost to tourism in northern Warren County. The museum features cityscapes crafted in intricate, realistic detail.

Expected to bolster the local economy, the museum has not yet met its potential, Dunham said. He said the reason for its shortfall has been that not enough money has been spent on publicizing the venue.

Dunham is the creator of the famed Citicorp train display in New York City as well as extensive model train layouts in Cincinnati, Chicago, Omaha and Williamsburg, Va. that have been viewed by more than 5 million people, and have been hailed as national attractions.

In addition to seeking out financial backers, Dunham has sought to relocate his model train displays to new locales with greater existing tourist traffic.

Dunham said Tuesday that heÕ s been considering relocating the displays, or the entire museum, to Lake George, Plattsburgh, Glens Falls, Albany and elsewhere.

He said Bill Dow of the Lake George Steamboat Co. has visited the Railroads on Parade museum, seen the train layouts, and suggested they be relocated in a proposed addition to the old Lake George train station, now used as a gift shop for the lake-cruise enterprise. The concept never progressed, Dunham said.

Another potential site in Lake George, Dunham said, was Towers

www.adirondackjournal.com Hall on the Fort William Henry Resort property, a hall that is used only occasionally. Negotiations to site the Railroads on Parade displays there resulted in an offer from the Fort officials that wasn’t financially feasible, he said.

Another proposal was to relocated to Glens Falls, either in the former military armory on Warren St. or another building near both The Hyde and the World Awareness Children’s Museum. Such a location would create a Ò museum row,Ó with each venue bolstering the othersÕ success, he said.

The Champlain Valley Transportation Museum in Plattsburgh, Dunham said, has expressed interest in hosting the displays. Richard Soper, the transportation museum’s Director of Exhibits said Aug. 5 the museumÕ s executives thought the model train displays would provide an outstanding new attraction to the museum, but the transportation museum didn’t have the $450,000 to pay Dunham to purchase them.

The museum now hosts 37 rare vehicles, including two antique Lozier automobiles, a train locomotive, an antique fire truck and the entire Gates Diner, a converted train car once situated in downtown Bolton Landing.

Dunham said that Pottersville didn’t have the tourism traffic he originally thought could be developed. When the museum was under development Ñ the Wells House, a historic hotel Ñ was being run as an upscale bed and breakfast enterprise. But within a few years, it was shuttered and in foreclosure. Stage Coach Antiques, an outlet housed in a historic building and hosting a dozen or so dealers, also closed down.

Dunham said that he still has faith in the resurgence of Pottersville,

August 9, 2014 considering the new investments in businesses that have been taking place this year.

“We may be at the beginning of a new business cycle,” he said.

Despite of the precarious finances, the museum is open. On Aug. 5, it had 101 visitors, and it has hosted as many as 200 per day this summer, Barbara Dunham said. Railroads on Parade is open until Labor Day from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Past Labor Day, it is open for another month on weekends only.

Assisting the Dunhams in their effort to explore relocation opportunities has been Ed Bartholomew, President of Warren County Economic Development Corp.

Bartholomew said that a community with existing robust tourism would provide the traffic necessary for the museum to flourish. He said he wanted to see the museum stay within Warren County if possible.

“It’s a terrific collection of model train displays and a wonderful tourist attraction,” he said. “But it may take a collective effort for this project to be successful.”

Town of Chester Supervisor Fred Monroe said that he hoped Railroads on Parade would remain in Pottersville, as the museum was an important asset in his town. Ò I hate to lose the museum Ñ itÕ s a great attraction and the Dunhams have outstanding talent,” Monroe said. “The lack of tourist traffic is very unfortunate Ñ I would like to see the museum not only survive, but thrive.”

Clarke Dunham said the museum’s financial survival was personally important to him and his wife. Ò Understand that I donÕ t want to see half of my lifeÕ s work turn into splinters,” he said.

Ebola makes its way to the U.S.

W

hen does the possibility of saving one life justify putting hundreds, if not thousands, of others at risk?

In this weekÕ s most disturbing news story, the death toll from the recent outbreak of Ebola in West Africa is climbing steadily toward the 1,000 mark. Doctors and nurses from around the world, including the United States, are flocking to Africa with a myriad of resources to combat the disease.

They are willingly putting themselves in harmÕ s way in order to help their fellow man. Their actions are certainly commendable, and they should be supported in any way possible…except one.

Recently, two Americans who trekked to Africa in this wave of humanitarian relief, one doctor and one missionary nurse, were reported to have contracted the nearly incurable disease. Almost immediately, the United States government and the American medical community undertook a rescue mission in which the two were brought back to the United States to undergo state-of-the-art treatment at a U.S. hospital in Texas.

Why? Ebola is 90 percent fatal and is spread by touching an infected person. It has an almost a 100 percent transmission rate if there is even the slightest accidental skin-to-skin contact.

One thing that is known to keep Ebola from spreading: having an ocean between an infected person and an uninfected continent.

Why would American medical and government officials knowingly put the lives of Americans at risk by bringing two infected people back to America? Is it to show the world how great our medical establishment is? Is it to show that no matter the cost, we never leave an American behind?

Neither of these “reasons” justifies the risk of even one American who did not choose to go into an infected region of the world and risk the consequences.

In Africa, the first thing done when there is an Ebola outbreak is to quarantine the entire hospital where the outbreak occurs. How arrogant are the Americans behind this little adventure to feel that we are above the law, so to speak, and not subject to African quarantine.

Let Africans die, we are saying in essence: Americans are much more valuable and canÕ t be left to the same fate as the rest of the regular people.

And speaking of value, who is paying for the extraordinary and extraordinarily-expensive rescue mission for these two people?

Is the cost being born by the American government, in other words, us?

August 9, 2014

Is the cost being born by the insurance industry, which in the long run, will filter down to us?

Either way, we were never asked if we wanted our money to go on such a foolÕ s errand, which is ultimately bringing one of the deadliest diseases known to mankind to our shores.

How many supplies and treatment facilities could those millions of dollars spent on speciallyequipped jets and the like bought? How many Africans, or other missionaries or health care professionals, could that money have saved? If saving lives was the true goal and not just flexing American muscle on the world stage, then those two Americans would be receiving their treatment, like hundreds of Africans, in Africa where they willingly chose to go.

Speaking of saving lives, how much food would that money have been able to purchase? Yes, in the past couple weeks, nearly 1,000 people in Africa have died from Ebola. How many have starved to death in that region in those same two weeks? For that matter, how many American children have gone to bed hungry in those two weeks?

Once again, our foreign policy is being pushed by the media and by the catchiest headline. Starving children in Africa…that’s not sexy enough.

American doctor contracts EbolaÉ now youÕ ve got something!

And what about the Christian missionary nurse who also contracted Ebola? Would it be too jaded to think that is she were the only American to have contracted the disease, and not a doctor as well, that she would still be in Africa, dying?

Thousands of American missionaries still crisscross the globe, living with and treating poor people in numerous countries around the world.

Some, probably many, get sick in these far flung outposts. Some probably even die.

Can anyone remember a million-dollar rescue mission to save one of these missionaries? Yes, itÕ s good to be an American, but itÕ s even better to be an American doctor.

Even while this is being written, a hospital in New York City is treating a patient with Ò Ebolalike symptoms.” As with the SARS outbreak in Mainland China and Hong Kong a few years ago, it is probably impossible to keep a disease like Ebola isolated to one continent in the travel-friendly world in which we live now. That’s no reason though to tempt fate and intentionally bring that disease to American shores.

If this leads to an outbreak here, hopefully those responsible will be called to task. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden

One Hundred Years Ago – August, 1914 Indian relics unearthed

It has been 157 years since Fort William Henry, the military fort that once dominated the southern end of Lake George, was burned by the French and it now lies in ruins. The only sound to be heard since than has been the wind blowing through the trees and far away, the sound of agony and death that took place on Sept 8, 1757, when French General Montcalm’s Indian followers, the Ottawa, Abenaki and Potawatomi, brutally massacred around 200 Colonial American soldiers, men, women and children near Bloody Pond, who were trying to flee the fort on the 15 mile trek to the safety of Fort Edward, can be heard no more.

This summer, in 1914, an out of state professor from Knox College in Galesburgh, Illinois, has undertaken an archaeological study on the adjacent hill next to the Fort George, near Fort William Henry, where a military site once stood, searching for Indian artifacts.

Professor Edward Clark, an expert in Indian lore, has discovered and collected Native American artifacts there that are thousands of years old. His finds have come from the lands of Benjamin C. Greene whose shorefront property is just northeast of Fort George. Tens of thousands of American, British, French and Indians camped on the land in early days during various military campaigns. Professor Clark believes that due to the sharp edged lithic (stone) flakes discovered at Snug Harbor and also the finished chert (flint) artifacts that were collected, that there was an arrow manufactory near the waterways’s southeast corner.

Update, 2014

One hundred years after Professor ClarkÕ s quest for Indian artifacts, today, in the summer of 2014, local archaeologist David Starbuck is conducting yet another one of his excavations in the Fort William Henry area as he has previously done four times, this year with a team of two dozen SUNY students in the area of the Battlefield Park. Fort George was constructed in 1759 and was the largest smallpox hospital in North America. While a bayonet, musket barrel and military compass has been discovered in past excavations, this year mostly pieces of 18th century wine bottles have been found.

The areaÕ s multilayered history is complex and has seen a remarkable amount of action in the last thousand or more years starting with prehistoric Native American visitation. Many humans have lived, owned, worked, fought and died in this history layered area of land. It is believed that more than 1,000 stricken soldiers alone died at the smallpox hospital.

Snug Harbor

In the year 1911 there was a Ò boat worksÓ at the head of the lake and Benjamin Charles Greene bought the land from them just east of today’s Million Dollar Beach. Greene later married Anna Moffitt and they ran a tourist camp on the property which they called Snug Harbor. This should not be confused with Snug Harbor Marina at the lake’s north end.

GreenÕ s shorefront property was just a little northeast of Fort George. He supplied motor boats, row boats, canoes, boat and auto storage and supplies. His parcel had a market, picnic area, tents and cottages. The Snug Harbor Tea Room provided excellent meals, coffee and light lunches at reasonable prices. On March 9, 1921 he bought a victrola and Edison records from a

music store in Glens Falls for the entertainment of his guests.

The bungalows all contained ice boxes and the electricity had to be turned on when the guest arrived. The store burned in 1923.

I have a framed advertising poster, tattered with age, hanging over my desk saying, “Tourist Camp. Snug Harbor, Lake George.

Located 2nd stop on Beach Road, east of D.& H. Depot. Bungalows and tents to rent. Bathing and boating. B.C. Greene, Mgr.” I also acquired a box filled with old papers containing documents, receipts, personal letters and correspondence pertaining to GreeneÕ s operation that he had acquired over the many years he conducted his business at Snug Harbor. In the box is nearly a hundred letters from previous satisfied customers seeking new reservations. He made it a point to send out a Christmas card each year to each of his previous guests. Ben Greene was a remarkable, well liked, hardworking man.

After World War I finally ended in 1918, there were only three shabby buildings on GreeneÕ s Snug Harbor land, but later that year, after successfully seeking a bank loan, in a press release typed by him, dated Aug. 11, 1919, he stated “The Kattskill House bungalows formerly located at Kattskill Bay on Lake George have been acquired by us and moved in their entirety to Snug Harbor. The bungalows are of a special high class construction and easily and comfortably furnished, making a valuable addition to the Snug Harbor accommodations and will enable us to more readily care for our increasing patronage.” Ò We have become a popular resort due to our ideal location directly on the east of the D.& H. railroad depot and a half a mile from Lake George village. We have 15 acres of beautiful grounds, excellent bathing beach and a wonderful view of the lake and Prospect Mountain. Our beach, the finest on the lake, is a part of our resort and equipped with a diving raft, springboard and water toboggan.” Ò The bungalows are comfortably furnished to accommodate from two to five persons, either housekeeping or not as desired and rent by the day, week, month or season, rates averaging from $15 to $25 per week. Camp sites are to rent and the auto tourist is accommodated.”

Over the years, due to much effort and attention to details, he eventually acquired 24 cottages. Some of them were equipped with wood stoves which had to be constantly replenished when the need arose. He rented sheets for $1.50 a week and blankets for 75 cents each when he absolutely had to but his guests were always asked to bring their own because of his laundry problems.

In one letter dated May 24, 1932 from a prospective guest, the lady wrote that two couples would require one cottage but as only one couple was married, Greene could be assured that this couple would chaperone the other two and no impropriety would take place.

Edward G. Steadman of New York wrote in 1933 that he had been desperately seeking his favorite topcoat and remembered that he had left it in one of Green’s bungalows. He requested that it would be “kindly” returned to him by parcel post.

Mr. Gardiner H. Hall, owner of a factory in South Willington, Conn., which manufactured cotton sewing threads, wrote, “I appreciate the treatment you gave me these last four years and I have no fault to find. I will never hesitate to recommend your camp if the occasion arises. Thanking you for all past favors.”

Greene charged just a little bit more for cabins that had inside flush toilets as compared to those which had an outhouse. He stocked large amounts of ice cream in five gallon cans from the famous old Hall Ice Cream Company at 4 Maple Street, Glens

Falls. On June 30, 1926 he ordered 200 fancy cigars from George F. Reintjes of New York for $13.15 to sell to his guests. On Sept.

16, 1922 he paid the Lake George Printing Company $5.75 for his advertising in their Adirondack Guide. This company also published the Lake George Mirror, a newspaper which is still being published to this day. Snug Harbor did well during the great depression of the 1930’s and as business flourished in the 1940’s, the prices began to creep a little upward.

Fort William Henry was excavated by Stanley Gifford and later rebuilt in the mid-1950s as a tourist attraction. Around that time more than a dozen mostly complete skeletons of British soldiers were unearthed and put on display for public viewing. As these skeletons were loaned out and seemingly have lost their way over the years, the fort is still striving to have them returned.

A new generation

In 1933, Benjamin and Anna Greene had a son, Robert Charles Greene, who grew up on the historic Snug Harbor property which so very many Indians had visited in years gone by. “Bob” told me that one day in his youth, he found a carved stone implement on the property, obviously created by the Indians and not being able to figure out what it could have been used for, he took it to the Fort William Henry Hotel to be analyzed and he left it in their care. He says that he has often wondered if it is still there, possibly in a storeroom.

Although Benjamin and Anna Greene worked hard in the summer months, they retired to their winter home in Florida after each summer season was over. They eventually, over 1949 to 1951, sold their Lake George property to the state and around 1962 the state built the Million Dollar Beach for $935,000 and named it as such.

The GreeneÕ s bought a house and a hundred acre mountain in Warrensburg in 1962 which today is located just north of the town industrial park. Benjamin Greene was in his 80’s when he died around 1964 and he and his wife are buried in Florida. Their son, Bob Greene, built a beautiful new house in Warrensburg next to his parentÕ s home and after it burned many years ago and his first and second wife died, he lives today on the property in the house that his parents once occupied.

The bullfrog farm

This story would not be complete without mentioning Benjamin GreeneÕ s ambition to get into a lucrative new business after he had sold his popular Lake George summer camp.

Frog legs, a once popular delicacy, was a common item on the menu of well to do people in years gone by and they sold for a high price in luxury food stores and expensive restaurants. The frogs garnered a good price as they had to be hunted down with difficulty in swamps.

Several entrepreneurs experimented with bullfrog farming and had little luck in their venture. Greene thought that it could be done successfully but suffered nothing but bad luck in his venture. Water temperatures, disease, food, predators and slow growth were all problems. It took three long years for a bullfrog to mature. The main problem was that these huge bullfrogs, the American species being as large as 8 inches across, were cannibalistic and would eat each other if they were put in an enclosure together.

After many hardships and failures, Ben Greene realized that he was not destined to be a Florida bullfrog farmer.

Letters to the Editor

Liking the water

Upset with coverage, editorial

To the Adirondack Journal: The Town of Warrensburg has done a great job improving the the water quality for those of us getting town water. Anyone who hasnÕ t tried the water lately might want to give it a try (youÕ ll probably be pleasantly surprised).

My wife and I used to have to spend a lot of money on our own water filters to make the water drinkable taste-wise. Heating elements in our water heaters and dishwashers corroded quickly, and the color of the water in a full bathtub was sometimes quite interesting.

When the Town began installing the new water meters in the last few years, I was worried IÕ d be paying more for the same “hard” water. I’m happy to see that the Town has instead dramatically improved the water quality. Thank you to the Town Board, Supervisor Geraghty, and the Water Department--It makes a big difference in daily life.

W . Paul Weick Warrensburg

To the Adirondack Journal: I suggest that before you publish the editorial, you do the research for the correct facts. The editorial “Overtime costs, shift changes and a missing personÓ have so many erroneous statements and missing facts that I do not know where to begin.

It was stated that the Warren County Sheriff Department arrived on the scene within 30 minutes of the initial call, which is true. However, considering the distance they had to travel they arrived in excellent time. You also neglected to acknowledge that Hague Vol. Fire Dept. was on scene within minutes and rescued one of the two men who were with Mr. Scott that day. The other survivor was on the boat of a civilian who aided in the rescue.

When there is an accident on Lake George, the Countywide Marine Rescue Team is immediately called to assist. You mention the Lake George Park Commission boat yet omitted boats from the DEC, Lake George and Bolton. The search included departments from Hague, Horicon, Bolton Landing, Lake George, Ticonderoga, Ticonderoga EMS, Putnam, State Police divers and Saratoga Divers. There were agencies from four different counties aiding in the search.

The staff reporter that you enlisted used very unethical methods to get the story. She had to be asked many times to stay behind the caution tape. On the first day while we were trying to protect the family in their obvious state of shock and sadness, she resorted to returning to The Hague Beach in the late afternoon with her husband, two children and a camera pretending to be on a family outing, but in reality she was attempting to garner information and photos. She also showed up on the day Mr. ScottÕ s body was recovered and tried to hide in an upper parking lot to take pictures of his grieving family.

The Warren County Sheriff Dept. did indeed cease searching approximately 6 p.m. on the first day for no other reason than the weather had changed. It became very windy with extremely low visibility below the surface which was dangerous for the divers, who were in unsafe deep water. These divers face unknown challenges in their search efforts and must observe strict safety procedures. In the morning before they resumed the search, they would meet to discuss the previous day’s findings and plan the

Name carefully To the Adirondack Journal: As residents and taxpayers, we have been watching the large new building being built to house the Warrensburg Health Center. It is our hope that when this building is dedicated it will be named to honor all the people who have made it possible. To name a few all the past and present: Town Supervisors, Town Board Members, Health Center Board of Directors, taxpayers, patients and staff. The town and its people have financially supported the health center for years and helped to make it viable and valuable, not any single person. Perhaps the people of the area could submit names that would be a way to dedicate the building to all who have helped to make it grow and further serve the people of thus area.

Dorothea Potter Ruthellen Bruce Polly Arehart Warrensburg

current day’s strategy. In fact, at one point a distress call went out because they lost sight of one of the divers, which could have resulted in yet another tragedy.

As stated Ò Weeks later, there is certainly no way of knowing if the search had continued past 6 p.m. July 1 if the outcome would have been any different.” Be assured that the outcome would have NOT been any different. We wish that you could see the letters that Hague Vol. Fire Dept. has received from the immediate family, extended family and friends of the Scott Family, thanking all agencies for their dedication, care concern and thoughtfulness in the rescue of their loved one. This family knows the true story which apparently your staff reporter, Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen does not.

The countyÕ s youth, however, are aiming to keep the county fair Ñ a tradition thatÕ s over 140 years old Ñ alive for future generations, Bowe said. Ò WeÕ ll mainly be focusing on recognizing children for projects they have accomplished,Ó he said, noting the exhibits of vegetables, baked goods, sewing and photography.

Citizens attempt to revive county fair

In 2010, several dozen people convened to try to revive a full-fledged county fair with rides, vendors, attractions, contests, amusements, shows and animal exhibits. However, the constraints of scarce manpower, limited finances and the expense of liability insurance discouraged the group, which disbanded after a few meetings.

In 1992 and 1993, the Warren County Historical Society revived the county fair, incorporating the 4-H youth activities while offering vendors, historical demonstrations and exhibits. The collaborative effort was named the Warren County Rural Heritage Festival & Youth

4-H chief offers to dye his hair pink in fundraising effort

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ A coordinator for a popular youth program in Warren County is poised to sacrifice his dignity to boost a fundraising effort.

John Bowe, coordinator of 4-H youth programs for Cornell Cooperative Extension, has pledged to dye his hair pink and otherwise compromise his appearance if his 4-H members raise certain sums of money for the organization.

Incidentally, Bowe has a distaste for the color pink, he publicly revealed this week.

All 4-H members, staff and colleagues are to be involved in the fundraising challenge, named Ò Think Pink/Live Green.”

If the 4-Hers raise $500, Bowe will wear a bright pink shirt for the month of October. If they raise $1,000, Bowe will go a step further, dying both his hair and goatee pink for October.

And if the coalition raises $2,500, Bowe has pledged to shave his head, leaving a strip of his remaining hair in a stand-up Mohawk hairstyle, and dye it pink Ñ for the public to enjoy for the entire month of October.

Proceeds of the fundraiser are to be split between the Warren County 4-H program and the C.R. Wood Cancer Center in Glens Falls.

Bowe said Tuesday he had mixed feelings about the 4-Hers and staff members reaching the goal. Ò I really donÕ t like the color pink, but I

want to see the 4-Hers raise the money,” he said. “If the kids are that dedicated to the effort, itÕ s worth it Ñ IÕ m counting on my hair growing back in its natural color.”

Donations toward the fundraiser can be sent to: Cornell Cooperative Extension Warren County/4-H Fundraiser, 377 Schroon River Road, Warrensburg, NY 12885.

Those who have ideas on fundraising strategies in this effort are welcome to contact Cooperative Extension at 668-4881 or: mlb222@cornell.edu.

John Bowe (right) instructs Warren County 4-H members in archery techniques in a recent 4-H session. In a fundraising challenge, Bowe has pledged to shave most of his hair off, sport a mohawk hairstyle and dye his hair pink if they raise enough money for families stricken with cancer.

Fair.

The Society officials organizing and promoting the fair bowed out this year because they couldnÕ t devote the many hundreds of hours necessary to organize the event, society members said.

Bowe said that all are invited to attend the 2014 4-H Youth fair, and families are welcome to bring picnic lunches.

The youth talent show, featuring seven acts, begins at 11 a.m. Youth exhibits will be on display from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

A pie-eating contest and several games are to be offered. One sciencerelated activity is the egg-drop contest, which involves participants strategize how to construct a container to prevent an egg from breaking when itÕ s dropped from 8 feet high.

An Eddie Eagle GunSafe firearm instructor is to man a display that teaches children to leave guns alone when found, seek out an adult and alert them.

The fair is also to feature a laser shooting booth, intended to teach safety.

During the fair, the 4-Hers will be conducting a car wash to raise money for Think Pink/Live Green, a local 4-H charity with half the proceeds going to families enduring the scourge of cancer, and the other half going to 4-H trip expenses and scholarships.

Lumberjacks, re-enactors impress crowd at Mountain Days

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com STONY CREEK- During a break in a timber-sports competition at the Mountain Days Festival Aug. 3, lumberjack Jerry Gingras of Errol, N. H. leaned against the tailgate of his pickup truck. He wiped the blade of his bowsaw with WD40, removing pine-pitch residue so the blade would glide through timber with a minimum of friction during a lumberjack competition.

This is phenomenal wood today,Ó he remarked to his fellow lumberjack Mike Eash of Coatesville, Pa. “It has just the right amount of moisture, and it’s uniform.”

Earlier, Gingras had scored the shortest time in the first round of a Ò hot sawÓ competition, in which souped-up chainsaws rip through 10”x10” pulp wood several times.

Sunday’s five-hour timber-sports showdown at Mountain Days was a sanctioned competition of the New York State Lumberjack Association Ñ a popular annual feature of Mountain Days. This year, lumberjacks from as far away as Switzerland competed.

It’s not as if Gingras had to prove anything at Mountain Days.

He holds a few world records with his chainsaw, as well as setting a record this year at the Boonville NY WoodsmenÕ s Field Days. At 43 years old, he’s been competing for 31 years.

Unlike some of the other competitors, his chainsaw wasnÕ t powered by a motorcycle engine Ñ itÕ s a Husqvarna with its stock 9.2 horsepower engine with its cylinder bored out and otherwise modified to yield 36 horsepower. Like dragsters, the modified saw is powered by nitromethane.

Gingras has competed in a dozen northeastern U.S. states as well as in Canada, sometimes competing in several lumberjack competitions in a weekend Ñ occasionally sleeping in his truck cab between shows. Saturday, he had driven six hours from Cherry Springs, Pa. to compete in Stony Creek.

Nearby, Chris Henning of Walworth, N.Y. watched other timber-sports athletes on the field rip through timber with crosscut saws, the kind lumberjacks used 140 years ago to fell giant trees in the Adirondacks. He’s a competitor across the northeast U.S. In the 2014 Lumberjack World Championships held recently in Hayward Wisc., he placed fourth in underhand chop and sixth in the crosscut saw event.

Gazing at the horizon, Henning offered his thoughts. Ò I love the Adirondacks,Ó he said, commenting that in his younger days he spent summers climbing the high peaks and backpacking in the Thirteen Ponds Wilderness. “It’s awesome here.”

During a timber-sports competition at Mountain Days Aug. 3 in Stony Creek, a lumberjack competes in the springboard event, which requires contestants to chop successive notches up a standing timber then chop its top off.

About 30 feet away, Peg Engasser of Cortland NY was preparing her crosscut saw for a round of competition. She came in fifth in the womenÕ s bucksaw in the 2014 Lumberjack World Championships. In the mid-2000s, she was the reigning world champion in women’s underhand wood chopping. Also, a decade ago she was a member of the U.S. National Lumberjack team, competing in New Zealand and Australia as well as in the U.S. and Canada.

Engasser now competes all over the northeast U.S. with her husband Dave Engasser, who she met many years ago in timbersports competition.

Participants are encouraged to bring a dish, but itÕ s not a pre-requisite for attending or par-

ticipating.

Steve Parisi, director of the townÕ s historical museum, explained this week why the annual event has thrived for nearly two decades.

The croquet tournament appeals to those who both take the game and its strategies very seriously, as well as those who merely seek some outdoor fun and socializing. Ò The croquet is competitive, but it is also laid-back,” he said. “Also, the picnic is fun and it’s free to all.”

In prior years, some of the participants have attended in historical garb, but this practice has petered out in recent years as people are less willing to endure August weather in layers of vintage clothing, he said.

She said that traveling many miles jointly to one competition to another, their love blossomed, leading to their marriage. Ò We travelled all over together Ñ it was close quarters in his truck cab,” she recalled with a grin. “It was truly ‘lumberjack love.’”

Engasser, Henning and Gingras were three of several dozen professional and semi-pro timber-sports athletes who put their world-class skills to the test in the timber-sports events at Mountain Days. The lead judge and local organizer for the competition Ñ which provided suspenseful moments and plenty of action, was Jake Bederian of Warrensburg.

Also featured at Mountain Days was an encampment of reenactors portraying the 35th Regiment of Foot, demonstrating the customs of cooking, crafts and weaponry of soldiers centuries ago.

Luisa Sherman and her husband Kevin were among a dozen or so of the history enthusiasts in 1750s garb camping out for three days, using weapons and implements similar to those colonial soldiers and their family members used 250 years ago in encampments at Fort William Henry during the French and Indian War. Ò Over the weekend, people have been very interested in what weÕ re doing because itÕ s local history,Ó Luisa Sherman said as she brushed hot coals off her iron-pot oven in a smoldering fire, uncovering savory molasses cake she had baked.

Not far away on the town field, Sue Hunter helped hundreds of people find various volumes in a book sale conducted by the Stony Creek Library. Ò Our sale is as hot as those lumberjacksÕ chain saws,Ó she quipped. “There’s no question, books are still in style!”

Nearby, dozens of crafters and vendors displayed and sold their goods. Featured was Ken Raisner of Stony Creek, who hand carves and paints songbirds of the northeastern New York in intricate authentic detail.

Also under the tent was Laura Moore with an interactive river simulator, demonstrating the causes and effects of erosion. Ò Kids here are learning why road culverts need to be adequately sized,Ó she said as rushing water in the simulator swept away sand supporting a miniature roadway. Her husband Dean Moore was nearby in the creek bordering the town park, showing children the wildlife in the waterway.

Not far away, Mountain Days organizer Rhonda Thomsurveyed the crowd as two woodsmen threw axes repeatedly at a target’s bulls-eye in a suspenseful, lengthy showdown.

“This weekend has been phenomenal,” she said. “The lumberjacks’ competition particularly has attracted quite a crowd.” the tourney for many years is the new Ò croquet master,Ó replacing Delbert Chambers, who served in that role since the tournamentÕ s origin. Parisi said that the appointment of Hanley to a role as judge and referee opens up opportunities for other contestants to win.

Games are played simultaneously on three courts Ñ and players are initially matched with another contestant of similar skill level. The event is held rain or shine.

All donations go toward the efforts of the Warrensburgh Historical Society, to preserve and increase awareness of the townÕ s rich history. The society operates the Museum of Local History for the Town of Warrensburg. For details, see: www.whs12885.org or call: 623-2207.

BankÕ s Home Town Heroes Hall of Fame. Trustco Bank created the Hall of Fame to honor individuals who demonstrate strong community involvement and work hard to make a positive change in

the community. President and CEO, Robert J. McCormick stated, Ò Ordinary people do extraordinary acts to help their community. These individuals work hard every day to make a difference and ask nothing for themselves. We want to honor these Home Town Heroes who might otherwise go unnoticed.” The public will be able to make nominations by going to Trustco BankÕ s web site at TrustcoBank.com or visiting any Trustco Branch.

A Committee will review all nominations and announce the winners. The program will end Friday, Aug. 30. Up to five individuals and/or groups will be selected each year.

Winners will be invited to a special luncheon and receive a plaque to be displayed next to previous award recipients, at Trustco BankÕ s Corporate Headquarters.

Good morning loon now in publication

NORTH RIVER Ñ Vista Court Books announces publication of Good Morning Loon, a new childrenÕ s picture book about the wildlife a boy discovers while he paddles in the morning mist, hoping to see a loon.

Subtitled ItÕ s Early MorningÑ WhatÕ s Happening on the Lake?, this story was inspired by author Elizabeth VarnaiÕ s own experiences while canoeing in the Adirondacks; illustrated by watercolor artist Kate Hartley, also the lead artist on the North Creek mosaic mural project; and prepared for press by Sheri Amsel—an all-Adirondack team.

Elizabeth Varnai consulted with naturalists at The Wild Center (Natural History Museum of the Adirondacks) and the New York State DEC to accurately depict the wildlife in the story, which is followed by a Tell Me More section with details about each creature the boy, paddling with his mother, discovers.
