Monroe asks Townspeople pay tribute to fallen soldier Paterson to reject APA recommendation

By Mary Jane Dower denpubs@denpubs.com

LONG LAKE — If you thought the Lows Lake saga was over, think again.

Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board Executive Director Fred Monroe is lobbying Governor David Paterson to reject the Adirondack Park Agency’s Sept. 11 decision to classify 2,000 acres of lakebed as wilderness.

Earlier this month, the APA Board of Commissioners voted six-to-four to approve the reclassification of recently acquired state land at Lows Lake. The vote effectively designated most of the terrestrial property surrounding the lake as wilderness and reclassified numerous non-conforming structures – such as bridges and access roads – as primitive.

Supporters of the decision say it’s an appropriate expansion of zoning regulation. Those who opposed the move are concerned that the agency could make similar changes to the classifications of private land on lakeshores throughout the park.

On Tuesday, Sept. 22, Monroe sent Paterson a letter strongly urging the governor to reject the APA’s recommendations regarding Lows Lake.

“I urge you to reject the procedurally flawed and unwise recommendation of the Adirondack Park Agency to classify a portion of the waters of Lows Lake as wilderness,” Monroe wrote.

In his letter, Monroe claimed that if approved, the APA’s recommendation would establish several bad precedents.

For one, Monroe said the action would “mark the first time that all or any portion of a water body with privately owned shoreline is classified as wilderness.”

He also contends that for the first

Massive sale may be dampened by rain, but not downsized

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Don Bagwell rolled his eyes Monday as he looked at a weather forecast that calls for rain though Saturday and Sunday, during the annual World’s Largest Garage Sale weekend in Warrensburg.

Probability of showers means that he’s going to be setting up five commercial tents for vendors selling goods at QVN Motors on upper Main St. “I’m not too enthusiastic about setting up those tents, but I gotta do what I gotta do,” he said. “Whoever sells umbrellas is going to move a lot of them this weekend.”

But even with a decrease, the World’s Largest sale will still be a blockbuster event, Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce President Lynn Smith said Monday.

“This doesn’t change anything,” she said.

HORICON — Under sunny, clear autumn skies Sept. 26, the people of northern Warren County paid tribute — in a manner not witnessed here for generations — to one of their own who while serving his nation, gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Jeremiah Monroe, 31, the first soldier from North Warren Central School to be a casualty of war — and the first locally to die on duty since World War II — was killed Sept. 17 while on patrol in Kandahar, Afghanistan.

Monroe’s funeral at the St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Chestertown was attended by an overflow crowd. But later, the collective grief of area residents was even more apparent. After the funeral, hundreds of people stood alongside the highway from Chestertown to Horicon paying Monroe tribute as his hearse drove past. This funeral procession was more than 300 vehicles long.

Monroe’s mid-morning funeral was attended by New York

Celebrated author Paul Pines set for Willows reading event

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Acclaimed author and poet Paul Pines of Glens Falls is amongst a strong lineup of writers scheduled to read their works Thursday Oct. 8 at Willows Bistro in downtown Warrensburg.

Pines joins writers Bibi Wein, Glenn Pearsall, Carol Gregson, Susan Dean and Lee Merrett in an ongoing free series of “Third Thursday” evening readings at Willows, a coffee house on Main St. Pines’ books have been hailed in reviews by the New York Times, the Washington Post, National Public Radio, and American Book Review, among others.

Pines said Friday he expects to read poems from his latest work, “Last Call at the Tin Palace.”

The book is named for a jazz club he owned and operated in the mid-1970s, where he hosted an ongoing reading series featuring writers from all over the U.S. “The themes run through

four decades,” he said of the selections in “Last Call” volume. “The book has allowed me to reconfigure my works.... Publishing this way allows me to arch the poems through time.”

Perhaps Pines’ most prominent work to date is “My Brother ’s Madness,” a memoir in which Pines narrates his and his brother ’s family life through the matrix of his brother ’s mental illness. Publishers Weekly p[raises Pines for “deftly handling the complex structure” and for the “rich characters, black humor and clear evocations.”

James Hollis, author of Why Good People Do Bad Things, says of the book, "Paul Pines has achieved a story both profoundly personal and universal." Noted author E.M. Broner said of the work was “one of the most moving, familial, shocking, and ultimately, healing tales."

Pines said he is appearing at the Willows at the request of his friend and fellow author Bibi Wein, with whom he went to college. Wein,

whose works include The Way Home: A Wilderness Odyssey, splits her time between Olmstedville and New York City.

Also featured is author and local history enthusiast Glenn Pearsall of Johnsburg, who has read at various regional venues including the Adirondack Museum.

Joining Pearsall is Carol Gregson, author of Leaky Boots, and Susan Dean with Unplugged in the Adirondacks. Dean has raised a family in a cabin in Johnsburg she and her family members built, and has chosen to bypass modern conveniences including electricity and fuel oil.

She is joined by Lee Merrett, a print media contributor.

The writers will be available to sign their books. Food and beverages will be available, and the paintings of artist Tanya White will be on display.

Granger said she was pleased to offer a lineup of writers that included Pines and other acclaimed authors.

Garage Sale

Potter’s Diner now on solid footing after ownership is settled and financing is secured

From page 1 — or virtually anything imaginable —it’s for sale at Warrensburg’s huge sale.

The event begins this year at 9 a.m. Sat. Oct. 3 and runs until 6 p.m., with the same hours for Sun. Oct. 4 — and these are just the sanctioned hours. The advance sales start up to two days earlier.

Residents extend a warm welcome to all visitors regardless of the traffic and inconvenience. They urge all to return and enjoy a visit when the true character of the town is evident, when there are 3,800 year-round residents here, rather than the tens of thousands routinely hosted during the Garage Sale Weekend.

The event is not just about bargains. There’s also a street-fair atmosphere, with plenty of carnival food: from “blooming” onions and fried bread, to home-cooked food prepared by local churches and community organizations.

New this year are vendors of international food, including Greek fare, Smith said. Also a novel addition to the Sale is a gift basket of goods and services donated by local businesses. Raffle tickets can be bought at various locations through town.

Here’s the scoop on how to avoid frustration of crushing traffic and maximizing time bargain-hunting.

•Arrive on Thursday or Friday, check into an area inn or motel, or get into town before 7:15 a.m. on the weekend. A lot of vendors are setting up before the weekend, and many savvy shoppers who know this are getting “first pick” of a wide range of wares.

•If you do arrive on the weekend, get into Warrensburg as early as possible, and take the Northway to exits 22, 24 or 25.

•Avoid Northway Exit 23, the primary road into Warrensburg, since it becomes very congested. By 8:30 or 9 a.m. Saturday, traffic can be backed up for nearly two miles onto I-87 Northway. If you can make it off Exit 213, take a right turn to go via East Schroon River Rd. and follow signs to a free parking lot north of town and take a free trolley downtown.

•From Northway Exit 22, turn left onto Route 9 and drive just a few miles north to Warrensburg.

•From Northway Exit 24, go south on Schroon River Rd. and park at the county fairgrounds where shuttle buses will take visitors in and out of town.

•Or, from Northway Exit 25, head south out of Chestertown on Route 9 into Warrensburg.

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Potter ’s Diner, a landmark in town for 84 years that was operating recently under a cloud of contended ownership, literally has a new lease on life.

Potter ’s Diner proprietor Rena Morehouse, who’s operated the Main St. business since 1999, recently won a legal battle establishing her ownership, she said, and she has lined up new financial backers who bought the land and building from her and extended her a 10-year lease.

The transfer of the sale of the land and building was recorded in the Warren County Clerk’s office Sept. 16, and it details the sale of the Potters Diner building from Morehouse to Toney Properties LLC for $157,990, and pays off former owner Virginia DiFranco for her interest in the associated property for $187,000.

Last spring, DiFranco had planned to sell both Potters Diner and some apartment dwellings behind it to Stewart’s Shoppes so they could demolish the buildings and double the size of the footprint of their neighboring convenience store on Main St. DiFranco’s lawyer had claimed that Morehouse hadn’t fulfilled a contract for sale for the property, so DiFranco remained the sole owner; but Morehouse’s lawyer successfully contended that Morehouse had indeed lived up to the contract, which the seller had never properly recorded. Stewart’s had in early 2008 penned a purchase option with DiFranco and filed plans with the town to demolish all the buildings if DiFranco established ownership. That contract is now moot.

With the legal skirmishes settled,

A Warrensburg landmark for 84 years, Potter’s Diner has new financial backers that have committed to help the business thrive. Last year, the eatery was mired in controversy as its proprietors fought to prove their ownership. Stewart’s Shoppes, which owns the adjacent convenience store, had plans on acquiring the property, razing the buildings and doubling the size of their premises — but those plans are now shelved indefinitely.

those demolition and expansion plans are now shelved indefinitely.

Morehouse said Monday that she was happy the dispute was over and that her enterprise now had solid finances with which to go forward.

“We’re here ready to continue servicing the needs of the community for many years to come,” she said. “We are confident the community will respond well.”

The eatery was once a busy stop for truckers, open 24 hours per day, before the Northway was built in the late 1960s. Potter ’s Diner was launched in 1925 in a converted trolley car, the frame of which is still behind the walls

of the diner ’s front section.

Potter ’s is renowned not only for its long-standing history, but its downhome atmosphere, and homemade and soups and breads and servings of corned-beef hash and sausage gravy.

The food selections are created by chef/partner “Umpy” Pryme and well appreciated in the region, Morehouse said.

Jack Toney, principal in the Toney partnership, said he was fully behind Morehouse’s enterprise.

“They needed help so we stepped in,” he said Monday. “Potter ’s Diner is a landmark in Warrensburg and very important to Warrensburg.”

Advisory to residents and visitors: From Fri. Oct. 3 through Sun. Oct. 5, there is no parking on Main St. from the Bandstand to Stewart Farrar St., and on Horicon Avenue in the hamlet.

This parking ban has been approved, and will be enforced, by the Warren County Sheriff’s Dept., and has been passed as a local ordinance by the Warrensburg Town Board. Those who disobey this ban will likely have their vehicle towed.

Also, motorists are urged not to block driveways, fire hydrants or public access, nor park on private property without permission.

‘Junk in Trunk’ sale scheduled at school

From page 1

CHESTERTOWN — Parents, friends and relatives of North Warren Middle School students will be holding a communal garage sale Friday — without the traditional garage.

CHESTER • ADIRONDACK JOURNAL - 5

Police, Warren County Sheriff ’s officers, American Legion members, and the Veterans Mobile Honor Guard. They all stood at attention with flags waving in the cool breeze as the casket was carried from the hearse by Army soldiers from Fort Drum, directed by Major James L. Terry, Commanding General at Fort Drum.

Chaplain Major David Esselle of Fort Drum conducted the service. He invited friends and relatives to talk about Jeremiah. Nikki Monroe, a cousin, shared her memories of youthful fun, including playing the Dukes of Hazzard with Jeremiah and Robert, pretending to be going 100 miles per hour while the car was parked in the driveway. She finished talking with the Irish blessing that she had used at his father ’s funeral only a few months ago. John Kenyon and Jeremy Moon also talked.

Deacon Bob Wubbenhorst read Psalm 23, talking of overcoming the fear of death. Rev. John O’Kane led the 400-plus at the Church and overflowing crowd on the front lawn, in reciting the Lord’s Prayer.

He said that Jeremiah had followed his sense of duty.

“Jeremiah gave the ultimate sacrifice so we could be free,” he said. “We take comfort in the hope we will see him again one day.”

Organist Patti Cory sang “America The Beautiful” and “Amazing Grace.”

As Monroe was carried from the church, Bagpiper Matthew Miller Jr. from Lake Luzerne played. The white-gloved Army personnel from Fort Drum, with precision, slowly carried the casket down the stairs to the awaiting hearse.

As the procession of more than 300 vehicles left the church, they encountered hundreds of people along the route to the cemetery. At the North Warren Central School, the athletic team members, wearing their formal uniforms, stood holding American flags.

At several locations, fire departments had erected flags from their hook and ladder trucks.

On the procession’s route past Dynamite Hill, the aerial unit of the Pottersville Fire Dept. had displayed a giant American flag high in the air as a tribute to Monroe.

At the entrance to the hamlet of Brant Lake, a banner had been erected that said “Thank You Jeremiah — Horicon will never forget you,” and the Lake George aerial truck had stretched a huge American flag far above state Rte. 9.

Farther on the route at the Horicon Town Hall, the West Glens Falls and Queensbury Central Firefighters had stretched another huge flag across the roadway. On Palisades Road, a backhoe at Palmer Brothers Marina draped a flag from an upraised backhoe bucket.

People came from Burlington, Vermont, and Albany north to give tribute to this fallen soldier.

At the Underwood Cemetery, Chaplain Esselle said a few prayers. The Bagpiper played and the Fort Drum honor guard fired their rifles into the clear blue sky. Taps echoed off the mountains in the distance.

The Honor guard gently took the flag from the casket, folded it with precision, and Major General James Terry presented it to Delores Monroe.

Slowly the crowd dispersed. The North Country had indeed given their fallen hero a spectacular sendoff.

Jim Hayes, Captain of the Horicon Fire Department had organized the fire companies in the area and had designated where they were to display flags. The Horicon Volunteer Ladies Auxiliary were at attention at the Firehouse with flags.

They provided food that was served at the Chestertown Firehouse for a reception held for funeral attendees. District Attorney Kate Hogan, Senator Betty Little, and John Kimmerly, who lost his son in Iraq, were in attendance.

Many who passed by in the procession may not have been aware that a permanent tribute had just the prior day been placed in town.

The soldiers’ monument in front of the Horicon Town Hall showcases memorial stones representing all the wars — from the Civil War to Iraq and Afghanistan. The local monument committee was able to have a stone paver, inscribed with Jeremiah’s name. crafted on Friday in Vermont and Robert Smith set it and cleaned the monument so it would be in place when Jeremiah and family went by.

Doubtlessly, for many generations to come, when people see this granite block, they’ll be reminded of Jeremiah Monroe’s sacrifice that has touched the hearts of so many in the North Country.

•100 Years Ago – Sept, 1909• Construction at the Griffing Cemetery

O

n the Griffing farm in Thurman is a cemetery in which a number of burials were made prior to 1800.

Stephen Griffing the elder and his wife, Elizabeth Uhl, who settled on the farm March 1, 1800, are buried there, also their sons, John Griffing and Col. William Griffing, and their wives, together with other descendants. Major Richardson Thurman, who was an extensive landowner in that area, died April 6, 1806 and is also buried in the cemetery.

A substantial concrete wall under the supervision of Ernest Moon of Hill View (Diamond Point), is being built

by Henry Griffing, Miss Grace Merrill, William Irving Griffing, William Griffing Leland, of Glens Falls and Charles H. Griffing of New York City.

They have also ordered a granite monument to be placed there at the grave of Stephen Griffing the elder, who served in the Revolutionary War as a soldier and officer, with an inscription commenting on some of the events of that period.

(Note…This historic cemetery is not seen by many people as it is tucked back in the woods on top of a steep bank on the south side of the big turn to Athol near Thurman Station.

Stephen Griffing the elder was the father of John Griffing and 10 other children. He was also the grandfather of John’s son, Stephen Griffing II, who was born Oct. 18, 1812, near present-day Cronin’s Golf Course. At one time he ran the Adirondack Hotel (later Colonial Arms, where Rite Aid now stands) and built the house now housing Grace’s Restaurant. Grace Merrill Lown Magee, who died in 1979, was Stephen II’s granddaughter.)

Bucket brigade saves Bolton Landing from fire

Henry Ashe threatened, police alerted

Hysterical horse, bruised owner

George Gibson, who has been a resident of Warrensburgh for several months, was sentenced by Justice George Hodgson to six months in the Albany Penitentiary for flourishing a revolver in the face of Henry Ashe, proprietor of the Agricultural Hotel.

Gibson and his wife occupied a small tenant house owned by Mr. Ashe adjoining the hotel, paying a nominal rent for the privilege. Mr. Ashe had a large quantity of cut fire wood on his property and he told Gibson that his small rent payment did not include free wood. Gibson flew into a rage and went into his house to procure a .38 caliber revolver. He burnished the weapon and pointed it at Mr. Ashe’s head.

Deputy Sheriff Stone was summoned by telephone and Gibson was arrested on a charge of assault in the second degree. He was later taken by an officer south to prison on the trolley car.

(Note…Henry Ashe and his father James H. Ashe of Thurman purchased the hotel in 1888 from, it is believed, Walter Baker, a professional trainer of horses. They named it Agricultural Hotel in 1906. Today it is called Ashe’s Hotel and was later run until 1972 by Henry’s son, Maurice Ashe. It was owned by the Ashe family for 84 years. It is today owned by John Abbale and family members.)

Nathaniel Dunkley and wife, while driving from Sodom to Bakers Mills, met an automobile near Dennis Waddell’s farm. Their horse became frightened and ran up on the bank at the roadside, throwing Mr. Dunkley out. He clung to the lines and the wagon ran over him. He finally stopped the horse, got in and rode home, considerably shaken up and hurt through his stomach and chest and with quite a few bruises on his limbs. He was attended by Dr. Lee Somerville of North Creek.

Boy suffers violent death Richard Holleran, 18, of South Glens Falls, died in Glens Falls Hospital Sept. 27, 1909 as the result of a shooting accident while the victim, together with his cousins, Harry and Robert Austin, were hunting locally in the woods.

The only gun in the party, a 22 caliber affair, was carried

by Harry Austin, who was walking in the rear of Holleran.

In some unexplained manner the gun was discharged, the bullet lodging in Holleran’s leg and passing up through his intestines. The boy suffered greatly and no attempt was made to probe for the bullet before he died.

A fire of unknown origin started in the Ginsburg building at Bolton Landing soon after midnight, Sept. 28, 1909.

For a time the whole central section of the village was threatened with destruction. The fire started on the ground floor of a two-story frame structure used by the Ginsburg family as a general merchandise store. Abie Ginsburg, son of Isaac Ginsburg, lived on the second floor as a dwelling place. People who lived nearby promptly rushed to the rescue and formed a bucket brigade. The mayor of Glens Falls traveled to Bolton as soon as he heard the bad news to offer his help.

The residence of Moses Finkle next door was totally destroyed and it looked for a time as if the Baptist Church, directly across the street, might burn also.

The Ginsburg building was purchased July 1908 from Sylvenus Smith of Riverbank, when $2,500 was put down and $2,000 insurance was carried.

SATURDAY October 3, 2009

Harry Miller of Hague suffered a terrible injury Sept. 23, 1909 while running a corn cutter, for silo purposes, on his farm. Owing to carelessness, his hand was drawn into the machine and chopped to pieces from the finger tips to a point above the wrist. Immediately after the accident Miller held out his stump and said to the men around him, “Look at my hand!” He than fainted and did not regain consciousness until doctors arrived half-an-hour later to attend him. The wrist was properly amputated and the bleeding stopped, but not until the victim had lost a great quantity of blood.

Miller is a young man who was just starting out in life, having recently purchased a farm. He and his wife have three small children.

News roundabout The weather hereabouts is quite cold with heavy frosts at night.

Autos are quite numerous these days on the roads up at The Glen and some of them don’t take the trouble of lighting up when they should.

Harry Ivon Wadsworth, of Sodom, has been quite ill with worm fever. Zilpha Belden, 12, of Igerna died Sept. 22, 1909 of typhoid fever.

Miss Pearl Whittemore, 13-year-old daughter of Byron Whittemore, is ill with infantile paralysis, her lower limbs being affected. Dr. Goodman is attending her.

A daughter, Margery Grace Loveland, was born Sept. 28, 1909 to Mr. and Mrs. Hollis Loveland at The Glen.

In Johnsburgh, Dr. and Mrs. Lemon Thomson and daughter, Kathleen, of Glens Falls motored to Johnsburgh in their auto and had to lay over for a few days when some part in the machine gave out. Orange Stackhouse has gone to Troy where he will work at the Malleadle Iron Company.

Mrs. Lee L. Hall, daughter of L.W. Brooks of Stony Creek, died at her home. She is survived by her husband and their son, Cleon Hall, all of Stony Creek.

James H. Sanders, of Fort Ann and Miss Janet H. Hudson, of Warrensburgh were married Sept. 25, 1909 by Justice George R. Hodgson at his home on King Street, Warrensburgh.

Clarence Swan of Warrensburgh and Miss Ada Whiting of Sodom were married at the bride’s home, Sept. 25, 1909 by the Rev. D.E. Williams of Johnsburgh Fred W. King severed the tendon of his second finger on his right hand while operating a corn cutter. Dr. Goodman fixed up the finger. (Note…Fred King lived in the elegant home of his grandfather, early Warrensburgh settler Pelatiah Richards, which stood, before it burned, on the north end of the current Grand Union store parking lot.)

The Epworth League of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Warrensburgh, has arranged for a series of four musical and literary attractions to be given this fall and winter. Each entertainment will be 30 cents per person.

Dr. Cyrus S. Merrill and daughter, Miss Grace C. Merrill, of Albany and Warrensburgh, will start Oct. 21, 1909 on a trip around the world and they expect to be gone for a year.

When I first contacted Pastor Richards many months ago, he set up people to assist constructing an apartment unit in my home so we could stay there and not become homeless.

I thank you, Pastor Richards, family and church members for all you have done for my family — I could not have done it without you!

xperiencing Obama's visit was like biting into a Twinkie — high expectations for something that looks good, followed by disappointment because the confection didn't have much substance or nutrition.

Certainly, it was newsworthy and impressive that a sitting President visited the area.

But how it was carried off left a lot to be desired.

I found it interesting that newscasters and daily newspaper personnel fawned over Obama when he visited — and it's clear they don't hold him to the same rigid standard that they did with former President George W. Bush.

Obama blew into Troy and delivered a quick, scripted speech to a small select audience, and exited as quickly as he arrived.

He had virtually no contact with the general public. His presentation was in a secured garage/classroom and the audience was about 200 people hand-selected and prescreened by White House staffers.

He read nearly word-for-word from a prepared speech.

Even most of his quips had been drafted in advance.

Although Obama delivered his speech with passion, confidence and his undeniable style and swagger — much of it was "announcing" re-packaged pending legislation as if the measures were brand-new initiatives.

Obama didn't meet the press and answer questions.

When George W. Bush visited Wilmington on Earth Day in 2002, he also followed a script.

However, Bush held a full press conference, fielding a dozen or so questions from the local press. Plus, he chatted with quite a few area residents.

But unlike Obama’s appearance, Bush’s visit received

plenty of disdain in editorials, if not outright ridicule from the media.

It's curious, considering the many questions that do exist about the Democrats proposals, and the turmoil in New York state politics — that Obama didn't hold a

By Thom Randall press conference.

Imagine a different scene — Obama delivering the speech in a large venue, allowing thousands to attend, just as he did after winning the presidency.

It was disappointing that the man who rode into the nation's top leadership role with unprecedented grassroots support, was whisked past crowds in the Capital Region isolated in a limousine, emerging only behind police barricades and yellow tape.

Yes, Obama is one of the great politicians and public speakers of our time. He has the innate ability to inspire people and effect change.

We appreciate the Obama's public recognition of the economic challenges that upstate New York has been facing for decades, and the vital role that the nation's community colleges play in public education and career training.

However, the visit could have been more inclusive and interactive.

APA chiefs weary of criticism, ask for residents’ input

By Jonathan Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — Tension between the Adirondack Park Agency and local government officials is nothing new.

But now APA Chairman Curt Stiles is taking a proactive approach to dealing with the gripes of local government officials before any one issue ignites yet another rhetorical firestorm.

In a letter to the Adirondack Local Government Review Board and the Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages, Stiles asked what local officials would like changed if the APA Act is opened for amendment.

“What we really need to do at some point is think about how to do things differently,” Stiles said Tuesday. “I get a little frustrated sometimes by getting criticism after the fact or during the process as opposed to having people state very clearly what they think their recommendations should be.”

Stiles said that re-engineering the APA Act is not on the horizon. Instead

he sees the query as a means of opening a much-needed dialogue between the involved parties. He requested that all suggestions from local officials be submitted to the agency by Oct. 6.

Local Government Review Board Executive Director Fred Monroe saidhe is still soliciting recommendations from the board’s membership, but he has a few changes already in mind.

“We should be able to choose our own representatives, or at least nominate them for the Park Agency,” Monroe said. Although the APA act defines a five-to-three imbalance of residents to non-residents, the presence of the three state officials tends to favor the interests of Albany and lobbying groups over those of the local residents, he argued.

Monroe said he would also like to see a statute of limitations placed on violation proceedings.

At present, the agency enforcement division can cite property owners for violations that occurred in the 1970s, often long before the individual cited

owned the property.

The APA Act calls for the State Land Master Plan to be reopened for revision every five years, but it hasn’t been substantively altered since 1987. For Monroe, this is a problem.

The laundry list of potential changes, for local officials, is much longer.

State Sen. Betty Little and Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward have been championing a land-bank system as an alternative to a constitutional amendment every time a municipality needs to encroach on in-park wild forests.

Constitutional amendments often take years to pass the state legislative bodies, and more often than not are defeated by public referendum.

In November, New York voters will vote on a land swap allowing for the construction of a power line system that has already been constructed. If defeated, state officials are unsure what would come of the newly installed lines, which supply reliable energy to Tupper Lake.

Lows Lake time, a line drawn on a map of a water body would establish different classifications on either side of the line.

Additionally, Monroe said Christopher Walsh, the APA’s former Empire State Development designee, should not have been allowed to cast the deciding vote on the matter.

The recommendation needed six votes to pass, and without Walsh’s “yes” vote, it would not have carried.

Walsh left his position at Empire State Development – and thus abandoned his post at the APA – in August of this year. That’s about one month before the Sept. 11 vote.

“Mr. Walsh was an employee of the governor ’s office on Sept. 11 when he cast a vote on behalf of Empire State Development,” Monroe wrote. “He was not a deputy or other officer of Empire State Development.”

SATURDAY October 3, 2009 The APA saidthe Review Board’s concerns about the Lows Lake classification were deliberated fully at the September agency meeting.

“Throughout the classification process, it has been stressed that Lows Lake includes a unique set of circumstances, including state purchase of the lake bed of Lows Lake,” the response reads.

And, the APA contends that the water was not divided in a precedent setting fashion.

The primitive classification applied to the eastern portion of the lake is a “near-wilderness classification that recognized riparian lake access rights and deeded rights for exclusive use of three state-owned islands during summer months by the Sabattis Camp, Hiawatha Council and Boy Scouts of America.”

In regard to Walsh’s vote, the APA simply said he continued to be the formal Empire State Development Corporation designee during the September meeting.

Smokers, tobacco retailers face soaring charges ALBANY — The fees and taxes paid in by cigarette smokers and retailers — for decades a “cash cow” for the state — are now being milked for more revenue to help balance a state budget in distress.

With a changing cultural perception of smoking and a $2.1 billion dollar budget deficit, New York is looking to make the tax load on smokers and tobacco retailers even heavier.

As part of the 2009–2010 state budget, the yearly retail-licensing fee was set to be increased from $100 to a tiered system with a minimum fee of $1,000 for the smallest chains.

The licensing fee payments were due Sept.

21, but after a recent state Supreme Court decision, the fee structure change is at least temporarily on hold.

According to state Department of Taxation and Finance spokeswoman Susan Burns, the new fees would increase the state revenue stream from $2.6 million in 2008-2009 to $18 million.

A coalition of five retail trade associations filed a lawsuit against the state and on Sept.

18 Justice Thomas Feinman decided to put the fees on hold until a decision on a permanent injunction is made.

State Sen. Betty Little said this week many cigarette retailers have already made the increased payment, and she believes the excess

money should be returned to them until a final decision is made.

“I am pleased by the judge’s decision,” Little said, noting that in light of the restraining order, she is urging the state tax department to return any overpayments.

Last spring, Little opposed Gov. David Paterson’s budget due to across-the-board fee increases.

The state’s use of the increasingly unpopular tobacco industry as a revenue generator is not new.

Over the last several years, state revenue generated by vice taxes placed on cigarette smokers have nearly doubled.

In fiscal year 2007-2008, smokers paid $220 million in cigarette sales taxes to New York — a 37 percent increase over the previous year.

The $2.75 tax the state tacks onto the sale of each pack of cigarettes amounts to a 45 percent tax, significantly higher than vice taxes associated with alcohol or pornography.

Cigarette retailers argue that the high state sales tax makes it nearly impossible for them to compete with the tax-free tobacco sold on Indian reservations.

But state health officials claim that the increased fees are not only a good place to find much-needed cash, but also a way of improving public health by discouraging smoking — making the addicting habit no longer financially feasible for many New Yorkers.

Authors delve into area culture, characters in their historical works

By Lindsay Yandon lindsay@denpubs.com EAST GREENBUSH — Between cranks on an old-fashioned butter churn and tastings of oldtime homemade “switchel,” Gloria Waldron Hukle and Persis “Perky” Granger talked about their writings and area history — on which their books are based — to a gathering Sept. 23 at Good Buy Books.

These two women, both hailing from northern Warren County, have dedicated the majority of their writing endeavors to depictions of local characters and the history of Adirondack communities.

Hukle is an 11th-generation member of the Waldron family that was among the first to settle in North Creek in the early 1800s on what used to be called Elm Hill.

She began her writing career in 2006 by publishing an account of the Waldrons in 17th century New York City entitled Manhattan - Seeds of the Big Apple. The following year, she published The Diary of a Northern Moon, a 20th-century mystery involving North Creek. Hukle’s third work, the subject of her talk last week, is Threads - An American Tapestry, an account of several families who resided in the New York Hudson Valley area many years ago.

She said she seeks to spotlight the early Dutch, African-Americans and American Indians in area history and present their contributions to American culture.

“I want to educate people about our heritage,”

she said. “There is beauty in diversity, and I think we all need to know we are Americans.”

Persis “Perky” Granger, a resident of Thurman since 1976, launched her writing career in 2002 by publishing the non-fiction work Shared Stories from Daughters of Alzheimer's: Writing a Path to Peace.

Her second book was Adirondack Gold and the Adirondack Gold Teacher's Guide. In 2008, Adirondack Gold II: A Summer of Strangers was published and continued the story of Hollis Ingraham’s adventures in the Thurman and North Creek area in the mid-1800s.

Granger regularly conducts presentations in area schools and organizations throughout the Adirondacks featuring her Adirondack Gold series to instill in the younger generation an appreciation of 19th century and early 20th century life, she said.

“People of that era impressed me,” Granger said. “ I can’t imagine how people could get their basic chores and work done, considering they’d have to walk miles to school, church or event to the neighbor ’s house and back again.”

Granger added that time had a different pace and meaning in those bygone years.

“It’s amazing how much they got done before modern conveniences and motor-vehicle travel,” she said.

Granger ’s youngest daughter Laurel has illustrated her works.

Warriors blast Junior Burghers tangle with past Warrensburg Lake George, Fort Edward

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Monday afternoon, Lake George High School Varsity football players watched a game video of their Friday-night matchup with rival Warrensburg.

Watching Warrior running back Caleb Meroski rip through defenders and keep charging after multiple tackles, the players offered their comment on his performance.

“That‘s just sick,” one player said, and others repeated the phrase as they watched Meroski run like a locomotive through a battlefield, taking one hit after another but not stopping.

However, Lake George Coach Jeff Bennett credited not only Meroski, but Robert Adsit and other defenders for their role in the 32-14 victory over Warrensburg.

Adsit charged into Burgher opponents with ferocity, again and again in the Adirondack League showdown.

“Adsit was all over the field,” Bennett said of Adsit’s brutal attacks. “He played the game of his life.”

Meroski, the game’s headliner, ran 29 carries for 213 yards and hauled in a pass for 28 more yards and scored four touchdowns for the Warriors.

But the unsung heroes, including the offensive line which opened up pathways for Meroski — also offered major contributions, Bennett said.

“The offensive line played fantastic, and Meroski ran really well,” he said.

The play setting the tone for the game was a Warrior tackle on an initial veer option play run by the Burghers.

“We blasted the fullback and everyone within a mile heard the hit,” Bennett said.

Looking to the next game, Bennett said he needs the same stellar performance out of his crew this Friday night at home against Bishop Gibbons, who’s enjoying a 3-1 record like Lake George.

An unexpected hero of Friday’s game against Warrensburg was Freshman substitute quarterback Willy Blunt, who racked up 70 yards rushing on 7 carries and a touchdown.

He also completed two of five passes including a touchdown on a 28-yarder to Meroski — and no interceptions. Blunt was stepping in for the injured starting quarterback Vinnie Crocitto. Blunt also picked up a fumble on a kickoff return and ran 29 yards for a touchdown.

The ball seemed slippery on Friday, with the Burghers giving away the ball four times due to fumbles, Warrensburg Coach Mike Leonbruno said.

“We had four turnovers that killed us,” he said. “We began the game flat, but the Lake George players came out ready to win — they played really hard — they gave it 110 percent the whole game.”

The highlight for the Burghers was quarterback Brendan Frye’s goal line recovery of a fumble by Meroski, and Frye’s ensuing 100-yard touchdown run, Leonbruno said.

“Frye had a great game — he played his heart out,” the coach said, noting Frye had eight passing completions for 105 yards, and gained 91 yards on the ground. “But we just didn’t execute our plays the way we should have.”

WARRENSBURG — The youth football teams of Warrensburg and Lake George met up Sept. 23, and all the young gridiron players were pumped up for games that lived up to the hype about rivalry between the two neighboring towns.

For those who enjoy defensive battles, the matchup between the Senior youth teams was game to watch, right down to the very last play. Both teams matched up evenly in this grind-it-out showdown.

The mini-Warriors had possession of the ball first, and went three and out. The little Burghers did likewise.

Both defenses were keying in on ball carriers and making swift tackles, leaving an empty scoreboard for the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Lake George’s Coach Greg Layton noticed a Warrensburg’s defensive end pinching in, and utilized that knowledge for a 45-yard reverse run to Ricky Jowly, putting the Warriors up 6-0.

The extra point attempt was squashed.

Lake George’s defense played tough, often swarming to the ball as a pack, with outstanding performances

by Evan Knox and Dylan Bachem. Warrensburg’s defensive tackle John Kindred also turned in an impressive game.

In the fourth quarter, the Burghers offense did not give up, pushing and pushing until their resiliency paid off. Brandon Schwarz, in character, bullied his way across the line to tie the game. Coach Al Perrone was proud of how the little Burghers never gave up.

After a failed extra point attempt by the Burghers, the Warriors got the ball back with four minutes left to go in the game. But a slip of the ball found Burgher defensive back Joey Schuster recovering the fumble on the Warriors’ 22.

The Warriors went to the air and with 10 seconds to go, Burghers safety Donnie Stone intercepted the ball and scrambled all over the field trying to get to the end zone. After several jukes and fakes, the Warriors stopped him and the game ended in a 6-6 tie.

That day in Lake George, the junior teams met up with Warrensburg outscoring Lake George 18-14.

Jacob Johnson, on the backs of his lineman, ran for 120 yards and racked up three touchdowns. Coach Gary Baker said Chris Wilson, Cole Lanfear, Evan Frasier, Corbin Miller, and Gary Hill maintained excellent blocking. Key recep-

tions were also crucial with quarterback Dan Monthony finding Evan MacDuff and Greg Shambo several times.

If that wasn’t enough action, both Little Burgher teams hosted Fort Edward Saturday for more exciting football.

The Junior Warrensburg squad came out with some smash-mouth football scoring immediately against Fort Edward. Burghers Jacob Johnson and John Kelly combined efforts to rush for more than 200 yards in their team’s 18-7 win.

Everything the Burghers did seemed to work. Defenses beware, the little Burghers are one tough team to go against, as they had two successful reverses and Dan Monthony was able to

throw accurate passes to Evan MacDuff.

Their defense was just as good with outstanding performances from Will Schwarz and John Kelly, as they held the Forts to one touchdown.

The Burgher Senior team wasn’t as lucky as they played a tough one against the Senior Forts. This was a defensive struggle as the halftime score was tied at 0.

Eventually the Burghers ran out of steam as the Forts ended scoring on two drives to finish the game 14-0.

This Saturday the Burghers play under the lights in Corinth. Junior team’s game starts at 5:30 p.m. with the seniors playing right afterwards.

A return to the sporting season

F

or sports fans, autumn is a time of overlapping seasons. As baseball season rushes toward the playoffs and the football season kicks off, it quickly becomes apparent that hockey season isn’t too far behind. With basketball just around the corner and NASCAR still motoring along, it is a difficult time to decide what to watch and who to cheer for. Sometimes it’s best to simply drop the remote control, skip them all and settle for the excitement a local high school football or soccer game.

Outdoorsmen and women suffer through a similar dilemma at this time of year, when geese fill the fields and ducks frequent the marshlands. Gun dogs begin pacing to get out in forest or field on the scent of pheasant, ruffed grouse or woodcock, while turkey strut about during a fall season that holds promise of a taste of the wild for Thanksgiving.

Landlocked salmon will soon begin their annual move up the rivers as brook trout begin to sport the magnificent splendors of spawn colors. For the same purposes, lake trout will move into the shoals as brown trout seek deeper pools on the streams.

In the deep woods or the farm fields, the river bottoms or mountaintops, big bucks and black bear will continue to stalk the woodlands. The seasonal transition is apparent on the hillsides, as a multitude of contrasting colors continues to creep across the usual green clad landscape.

Heavy frosts will accelerate the process but most enthusiasts are willing wait and see it unfold incrementally.

As apples fall from the trees and mushrooms continue to sprout on the forest floor, the seasonal bounty of forest, field and stream becomes increasingly apparent. At the same time, the decision of which activity to pursue grows increasingly difficult by the day.

It is a time of grand opportunity and great indecision.

Each day, the breeze grows cooler and the days get shorter, as wood smoke begins to scent the mountain air and a old, familiar mustiness greets those individuals returning to the woods for an annual, autumn jaunt.

There is a draw that brings us back into the fold of the forest, it is a sportsman’s drive. Even dogs can sense it.

They yip and pace at the back door with the first appearance of a shotgun. They know it is their time too.

This indescribable draw of the season does not solely affect just sportsmen and women. It beckons to all members of the outdoor community, from hikers to paddlers, bikers to birders and beyond.

Whether a photographer or a leaf peeper, a rock climber or a trail runner, the autumn woods beckon. And we simply must answer the call. For we recognize that autumn will exit before before too long.

Soon, the ski season will overtake the landscape, encapsulating it in cold, drab monotones as winter begins to settle in. Autumn offers a sampling of the best of all seasons, with bluebird days backlighting a snow capped mountain peak backdropped by a colorful landscape that yields a bounty of natural harvests.

Forget about sports, put down the remote and pull yourself out of the chair. Now is the time to get out and enjoy the finest season of the year, the High Holy Days of the Woods and Waters.

Don’t gulp the season down all at once. Sip autumn’s days slowly and savor them for a time when winter ’s bitterness is in command of the land. Quench yourself in fall’s fullness and experience the season as it ripens, it is truly the sweetest time of the year.

initiated into hunting before the age of 20, usually by a father or a father figure.

Hunters who are initiated by a father or father figure hunt more frequently and are more likely to hunt avidly throughout their lifetime than are hunters who were not initiated in this way.

Motivation for hunting varies with the largest percentage (43 percent) hunting primarily for the sport and/or recreation. Twenty-five percent of hunters hunt primarily for the meat, 21 percent of hunters hunt primarily to be close to nature, and 12 percent of hunters hunt primarily to be with family and friends.

Although only about 7 percent of Americans hunt each year, a large majority of Americans, nearly 73 percent, approve of hunting. We are a nation that retains a pioneer ethic. Despite a steadily decreasing number of outdoor enthusiasts, a majority of US citizens still support our traditional sporting pursuits.

Of the current 12.5 million hunters, 1.3 million are women. Research has revealed that between 1985 and 1990, the percentage of women who went hunting more than doubled, while the percentage of males who went hunting during this same time period declined by 16 percent.

Although rural, white males remain in the majority of all hunters, the increase in the female hunting population have been attributed to the basic changes in attitudes and changing roles of females in general within American society. Women constitute the fastest growing segment of the hunting fraternity.

DEER SEARCH, INC.

Who is the average American hunter?

According to the most recent National Survey on Hunting and Fishing, conducted in 2006, 87 million US residents aged 16 years and older participated in wildlife related recreational activities. This number represents nearly 38 percent of the entire US population.

A total of 12.5 million people described themselves as hunters, with 86 percent primarily pursuing big game, 38 percent seeking small game and 18 percent hunting migratory birds such as ducks and geese. This figure is down from 13 million hunters in 2001.

The average big game hunter was about 45 years of age and devoted at least 15.5 days to the pursuit of big game and about half of that time to small game.

Hunters come from all economic backgrounds, with annual incomes ranging from below $20,000 to over $100,000.

Combined they spend nearly $23 billion dollars annually on their pursuits according to the most recent survey.

The number of non-hunting, wildlife watchers in the country is estimated to be over 71 million people. The annual expenditures from this group is roughly equal to the combined expenditures of both hunters and anglers. The total for all groups combined is $122 billion dollars and sportsmen account for roughly $64 billion of this total.

The vast majority of hunters indicated that they were

I called in this 8-pointer during the rut a few years ago using the estrus bleat that sits between the buck’s horns. A bleat call can be a deadly technique for luring in a love-sick Adirondack buck.

Techniques to try during the rut

I

n my last column I discussed a prediction by renowned whitetail expert Charles Alsheimer that the rut will reach peak activity much earlier this year — between Nov. 4-13.

According to Alsheimer, the rutting moon that traditionally triggers the rut will be Nov. 2 this year. That means the three phases of the rut — seeking, chasing and breeding — should take place beginning in late October and stretching through to around Nov. 22.

So, what techniques, scents and calls work best during these phases? The answer is fairly obvious, according to Alsheimer — all you need to do is react to deer behavior.

The seeking phase, which this year is expected to take place Oct. 31 - Nov. 6, can be one of the most productive times to use scents and call deer into range.

That’s because bucks are on the move seeking a doe in estrus, but most likely won’t be sticking with and chasing every doe they encounter.

Bucks begin getting territorial during this time — and scrape and rub lines start appearing in a dominant buck’s home territory.

Alsheimer recommends setting up in these areas, creating mock scrapes of your own combined with a good active scrape scent and using a grunt tube.

This is also one of the best times to rattle bucks in, as they compete for a does attention. Keep in mind this technique works best where the buck to doe ratio is higher.

As deer enter the chasing phase, which this year is predicted to be around Nov. 6 - 12, Alsheimer recommends locating a good funnel area and staying put — all day if need be.

“Setting up in prime travel corridors and pinch points should offer the greatest opportunity to ambush a rutcrazed buck,” He wrote in the September edition of Deer & Deer Hunting magazine. “These locations should also have the most scraping and rubbing sign.”

Mastering fawn and doe bleats — especially estrus bleats — and hanging scent wicks soaked in doe in heat urine can be deadly at drawing a love-sick buck in range during this phase. Scrapes can also be freshened with an estrus lure to encourage a buck’s return.

This is also the time that bucks are most aggressive, so being aggressive with your grunting and rattling is often productive — but keep in mind these techniques can scare off smaller bucks.

When the breeding phase settles in — which this year is expected to be between Nov. 8 - 22 — Alsheimer recommends hunting around known doe groups as deer movement declines during this phase.

Calls can still be effective, but hunters have to put themselves in a position where bucks can hear them, and even then it can be difficult to lure a love-crazed buck from a group of does.

Still hunting bedding areas and driving deer can be effective during this phase as a buck will often stay on the heels of a doe in estrus, letting its guard down much more so than any other time of year.

Good night, Knight My pup, Cedar, is now a little over a year old and beginning to show the signs of a great tracking dog. While still learning, she’s looking forward to her first “find” of a mortally wounded deer. I joined the organization Deer Search, Inc. last year and am now one of a few outdoorsmen in the Adirondacks licensed by the state to use a dog to locate a wounded deer.

Now that deer season is upon us, I’d love to get some experience under Cedar’s collar. Should you be in need of our services, you can contact the Deer Search hotline at 845-2275099 or feel free to call my cell phone at (518) 420-2795.

Please keep in mind that Cedar is still learning, but is showing great promise and if we can help locate a wounded deer trophy or not - that would otherwise be left to the coyotes, it would be a very satisfying experience. There is no charge for the services of Deer Search, though donations are appreciated. Feel free to give me a call anytime.

Did you hear that Knight Rifles — which revolutionized modern muzzleloading when they introduced in-line ignition technology in the mid-1980s — quietly went out of business this summer?

Both my brother and I hunt with Knight rifles, and we have always sworn by their craftsmanship and accuracy.

It’s a shame to hear the company went under — an apparent victim of the economic downturn.

While the recent presidential election has been a boon for many firearm manufacturers, it has not helped the market for black powder hunting firearms.

Since its beginnings in 1985, founder Tony Knight sold more than one million Knight Rifles. A Web site operated by the company says they will at least offer parts and accessories for the foreseeable future.
