Warrensburg’s past comes to life once again

By Paul Gilchrist

Special to the Journal WARRENSBURG — The Warrensburgh Historical Society’s 12th annual Graveyard Walks recently concluded with the traditional Dinner with the Dead, held at Lizzie Keays Restaurant.

This year, five illustrious characters from Warrensburgh’s past were portrayed in two evening walks, an afternoon

walk for Warrensburg Central School fifth grade students, and the Dinner with the Dead.

Col. Benjamin Burhans, A.C. Emerson, Delbert Pasco, Mrs. Samuel Moses, and “Jack” Brown surfaced to acquaint visitors with their lives and times. Actors this year were James Corriveau, Dennis Martinez, Pete Wood, Susan Jennings, Tom O’Dea and John Gable.

The two evening walks ended with desserts at the Cornerstone Victorian B&B and the home of Bill & Rosemary Maher. Visitors were guided by Lizzie (Donna Wood).

November 3, 2012 cent of his nine volumes of poetry. Pines is one of the area’s most widely-acclaimed writers, Pines other writings include Redemption, and a memoir, My Brother ’s Madness. A Brooklyn native, Paul and his wife Carol, reside in Glens Falls where he practices psychotherapy.

As writer-in-residence at the Adirondack Mountain Writer ’s Retreat since 2008, Irene Sherlock has taught and mentored many North Country writers. She will read from her new chapbook Equinox. “What I admire most about Irene’s writing,” says author Cortney Davis, “is how, in each line, she finds the powerful key image, the haunting underbelly, the image that transforms mere words into unforgettable poetry.” Irene holds a Masters degree in English, an MFA in Creative Writing, and an MS in Marriage and Family Therapy. She writes a blog, poetry and essays, and has a lengthy list of published works. She is also a book editor, writing coach and substance abuse counselor in Danbury, Conn.

Writer’s group in Bolton The writer ’s group in Bolton is open to everyone. Penelope Jewell, who leads this group, says “you don’t need to be published, or even be aiming at publication – just have an interest in writing, even if it is letters or a journal.” It is helpful that the participants arrive on time and stays until the end. Each writer is given 5 to 10 minutes to read a selection of their own.

Any genre is welcome. Penelope believes “every person has a story and that stories are best told and handed down by the people who lived them.” “Do you want your grandchildren to hear what their parents are going to tell them about you and who you are and what you did?”

The group helps people get started with writing their story by offering support, ideas and gentle feedback. For the more serious writer, the group has suggestions for places to submit for publication.

The group meets on Mon. 1 – 3:30 p.m. starting Nov. 5 at the Lake George Land Conservancy. Penelope is interested in doing a separate evening group if there is an interest in that. “As you can see, helping people to tell their own stories is very dear to my heart,” states Penelope. Any questions can be directed to Penelope at penelope@penelope.org, or leave a message at 518-480-9118.

North Creek baker competes on Jeopardy

LANDOWNERS Paying Top $$ for All Species of Standing Timber

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com

Sarah’s journey

Sarah’s “Jeopardy” journey began in January with an online test of 50 questions on the game show’s website. At the end of April, she received an email inviting her to an in-person audition.

She and husband Jeremy took the train from Albany to New York City, where she auditioned for “Jeopardy” at a hotel on June 5.

Sarah began jumping through more hoops, including a 50-question written test, a screen test with a fake game using a real buzzer, and a public speaking test where she had to improvise stories about herself in front of strangers.

The Jeopardy crew also shared larger-than-life statistics about their odds, giving would-be contestants a slap in the face of reality: out of the 100,000 people who take the online test, 3,000 are invited to in-person auditions, and 400 are invited to be on the show.

Sarah’s show was taped Aug. 8 at the Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, Calif.

Double Jeopardy

The Double Jeopardy round featured these six categories: Name That Century, MTV Video Music Awards, Books & Authors, Euro Coins, One Man One Vote, and A “Ha”!.

“Each correct response will begin with H-a,” Alex said. “Sarah, you begin now.”

“I’ll take A ‘Ha’! for 400, please.”

“Hyphenated term for an article of clothing passed on from one person, who’s outgrown it, to the next.”

Keith buzzed in.

“What is a hand-me-down?”

“That’s right,” Alex said.

With a wrong $1,600 response in Name That Century, Sarah dropped to -$1,200. Then she began to climb out of the hole with a correct $800 response in Euro Coins. Now at -$400, Sarah shot back into positive territory with a correct $2,000 response in the A “Ha”! category.

“From the 13th to the 15th centuries, commercial activity in northern Eu-

rope was dominated by this league.

Sarah.”

“What is the Hanseatic League?”

“Yes,” Alex said. “You’re on the board with 1,600 now.”

“Hanseatic League, I was pretty proud of that,” Sarah said. “I was talking to the other two afterward, and they said, ‘Hanseatic League? I‘ve never heard of that.’”

Things got even better with a correct $1,200 response in Books & Authors.

This was far from her favorite category. Even before leaving for California, Sarah was dreading questions about literature.

“For as much as I read, I haven’t read the classics,” she said. “That’s my weakest subject.”

Still, at $2,800, she hit a Daily Double when choosing Books & Authors for $1,600, and she wagered $2,000.

“The title of this E.M. Forster novel refers to a country house, not to someone’s death.”

“What is ...?”

She couldn’t think of the correct response before time ran out. “‘Howard’s End,’” Alex said.

Sarah said later that she’s heard of “Howard’s End,” but she’s never read the book, and even though she’s heard of E.M. Forster, she never put the book and the author together in her mind.

“So you drop down to 800,” Alex said. “Go again.”

With a correct $1,200 response in MTV Video Music Awards and a wrong $1,200 response in One Man One Vote, Sarah ended Double Jeopardy with $800. Erik was at $4,400 and Keith at $18,200.

of myself,” she said later.

Sarah was finding it hard to relax and buzz in properly. Contestants can only buzz in when a light comes on, and they get locked out for a quarter of a second if they buzz in too early. That was happening a lot to Sarah.

“There’s plenty of time to process that answer, but the game show part of it is beating those other two people to the buzzer when the lights come on,” she said.

During the commercial break, producers told Sarah to relax and take her time.

After coming back to meet the contestants on the air, Alex quizzed Sarah about a story she shared from 2002.

“Sarah Hayden Williams is a bakery owner and caterer who catered her own wedding,” Alex said. “For how many people?”

“Three hundred. Actually more than that,” she said.

“Good idea or bad idea in retrospect?”

“Bad idea in retrospect,” she said, “but it turned out great.”

“Why was it a bad idea?”

“Well, most brides enjoy their wedding morning of getting ready and primping and nails and makeup, and I was baking rolls and glazing cupcakes,” she said.

After hearing stories about Erik and Keith, the second half of the Jeopardy round continued.

A wrong $800 question in the Taste category sunk Sarah to -$400. She started to get anxious. Her worst nightmare was to end Double Jeopardy below $0 and not make it to Final Jeopardy.

“As a fan of the show, whenever I see that I always feel bad for those people,” she said.

But Sarah didn’t stay in the hole for long; she rebounded to $600 with a correct $1,000 question in Taste. Then a missed question in the Site category dropped her to $400.

Sarah ended the Jeopardy round at $400, behind Erik with $2,400 and Keith with $9,400.

“Sarah off to a slow start, but she picks first in Double Jeopardy when we come back,” Alex said.

Final Jeopardy

The Final Jeopardy category was World Languages, the answer: “Of the romance languages, it has the greatest number of native speakers in a single country.”

Then after 30 seconds of the famous “Thinking Music,” we found out the correct question.

“That country is one of the world’s largest,” Alex said. “Let’s see if you were paying attention. Sarah, we come to you first. You had 800 to risk, and you wrote down, ‘What is Brazil?’ No, sorry. You picked the country, but we’re going for the language.”

Sarah bet $799, and she dropped to $1. Erik got the right response: “What is Portuguese?” He doubled his score to $8,800, but that wasn’t nearly enough to catch Keith, who also picked Portuguese and walked away with $26,200 for the show and a two-day total of $51,200.

For her part, Sarah took home $1,000 for finishing third.

“Alex, when he came over to shake my hand, he said, ‘I totally thought it was Brazil,’” Sarah said. “I’m like, ‘Oh good, I’m not crazy then.’”

The producers admitted that if the other contestants said something other than Portuguese, they probably would have reset Final Jeopardy with another clue.

“Everybody agreed that the way that was worded was a little ambiguous,” Sarah said. “That made me feel a little better knowing that I didn’t just blow it.”

“A removal hearing is a step toward this, sending an illegal alien back to his or her homeland.”

Sarah buzzed in first.

“What is deportation?”

“That’s it,” Alex said.

Then Sarah, the baker, chose a familiar category.

“I’ll take Taste for 200,” she said.

Sarah thought the category was about food. She was wrong, but she didn’t flinch.

“I show my exquisite taste by collecting this genre of oil paintings seen here.”

A painting was shown.

“What is a still life?” Sarah said.

“You got it,” Alex said.

“Taste for 400.”

“Keep your hot jazz. I prefer this opposite type, a word found in a 1957 Miles Davis album title.”

Keith buzzed in.

“What is cool jazz?”

“Cool jazz,” Alex said. “Correct.”

Sarah stayed at $400 through the first half of the Jeopardy round. She knew early on that she wasn’t going to catch Keith.

“But I just didn’t want to make a fool

NORTH CREEK — Packed around a gigantic television screen at Basil & Wick’s restaurant, Sarah Williams, her family and friends heard the words they’ve been waiting to hear for nine months.

It was 7:30 in the evening, Thursday, Oct. 25, and that familiar theme music from the TV trivia game show “Jeopardy” swirled into everyone’s ears as announcer Johnny Gilbert began his introduction.

“This ... is ... Jeopardy! Today’s contestants are ... a bakery owner and caterer from North Creek, N.Y., Sarah Hayden Williams; a medical magazine editor, from Somerset, N.J., Erik Greb; and our returning champion, a research chemist originally from Charlotte, N.C., Keith Whitener, whose oneday cash winnings total 25,000 dollars.”

The television audience clapped enthusiastically. The restaurant was dead silent; people wanted to hear the show.

“And now, here is the host of ‘Jeopardy,’ Alex Trebek!”

Sarah — the owner of Cafe Sarah on Main Street — watched herself on the TV screen. She knew what was about to happen, but she wasn’t allowed to tell anyone the results until the show aired.

Everyone else in the Adirondacks had to watch — and play along — in order to find out whether she’d come home with a mountain of money.

To most, the show was a big surprise as it unfolded. Even to Sarah.

“It was a big blur in my mind,” she said. “It happened so fast when I was there, and I didn’t remember the ones I got right. That was surprising to me.

I remembered the ones I got wrong.”

Viewpoint

Think beyond partisan politics Nov. 6

P

artisan politics are not only confusing and frustrating and apparently infinite, but they seem to defeat the purpose of meaningful change.

And it appears, talking to many people around the North Country, policies and plans and specifics and ideas linked to outcomes matter little when it comes to that never-ending battle of Republican versus Democrat.

Can President Obama turn the economy around, heal the nation and repair the many things the people point out are broken?

Or would Romney be better suited for the job?

It doesn’t appear it really matters and, if that is the case, do outcomes or change really mean anything?

Individual campaign volunteers – Republican and Democrat – reported that while making calls for their respectable candidates, they were met with either, “Thanks for calling and I will definitely vote for -----,” or “I would rather die than vote ----.”

But wait, isn’t it the individuals and his or her ideas that matter?

If Romney were a Democrat would Republicans suddenly despise him and all he stands for?

Would Obama be tossed to the curb with the trash by Democrats if he suddenly transformed into a Republican?

Some might say no, and for some that is most definitely the truth. But for many, or so it seems from conversations, interviews and testimonials of operatives on both sides, the party decides the vote.

If that is the case, then it would seem if Romney were elected and indeed turned the country around for everyone, Democrats would remain miserable.

Likewise, if Obama is granted a second term and succeeds where many say he has failed, Republicans would be angry and unful-

filled.

Then that would mean if Romney wins and fails and the state of affairs in the country deteriorates, Republicans would be thrilled still, because their Republican won.

And Democrats, in the same situation, would be overjoyed too.

Would both sides find ways to blame the other? History definitely indicates this.

But shouldn’t it be more about who is going to get the job done and bring about results that empower the largest amount of Americans possible?

Yes, each party, respectively, has ideals that voters belonging to those parties subscribe to and believe in, and there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, ideals are quite admirable.

But blindly accepting or dismissing an individual according to party affiliation seems like it carries, at least a slight possibility of sabotaging what one in fact desires.

Wouldn’t it behoove every voter to remain loyal to ideals but at the same time do some investigation, some real investigation that doesn’t include listening to propaganda, before making a final decision?

Who knows which party can truly cure America’s ailments?

But what seems evident is that while people might assume their party is faithfully representing them, knowledge is power and an uninformed choice at the polls could potentially create obstacles along the path to what we desire.

It’s time to get out and vote

D

uring the last week I had the privilege of sitting in with our Editorial Board as they interviewed candidates for contested seats for the New York State Assembly and U.S. Congress. During their campaigns candidates each travel thousands of miles, attend countless functions, shake far too many hands, kiss who knows how many babies and graciously perform many tasks to prove their sincerity to the folks who will decide their fate. Some have been rebuffed by constituents before but continue their quest to win the seat they seek.

Every one of the candidates we sat down with was articulate, passionate and optimistic about the opportunity ahead of them to serve the people of their district. Each made a compelling argument for their candidacy. Each question presented was quickly answered, leaving me with just one lingering thought.

What happens to these good people who want so badly to achieve the office and then all too often come up short in the eyes of the electorate once they reach their goal? No doubt most folks vote along party lines so each candidate will always have opposition who find fault with their every action. But frequently once in office the opportunity to distinguish themselves from their fellow representatives seems to fall short of the promises made.

It’s a question I may never fully understand and perhaps it is just a part of the function of our democracy that each representative at the end of the day gets carved up by the two party system and all too often finds the deck stacked against them as they meld into government bureaucracy.

At any rate this will be my last column before you go to the polls if you haven’t already voted for the candidates of your choice. As we explained to each of the candidates with whom we recently met, our role is not to endorse nor try to sway voters. Instead our focus is to provide information that allows them to make the choice they believe to be in the best interest of their country, state, county and town. Respecting the power of their individual vote, we believe it’s an abuse of the medium we control to attempt to tip the scales solely based on our beliefs, something I do believe has affected many major news out-

lets.

Here are several things to consider before you stand before the ballot and make your choices.

Dan Alexander 1. Can you trust the Thoughts from candidate to use their Behind the Pressline skills, talents and experiences to make wise choices, follow their convictions and be true to the promises they made on the campaign trail?

2. The campaign process is a competition marathon. Has your choice demonstrated the type of character and personal values that you feel will allow her/him to deal with the stress of the office, stand up against the pressure to cave in to the demands of a strong willed senior representative, political party members or overly influential lobbyists or contributors?

3. Is your decision based on your own research and knowledge of the candidate’s positions, actions and experience or have you been unduly swayed by slick, politically bias advertising that solely painted the other candidate in an unfavorable light, perhaps even misrepresenting their position altogether?

4. Will your candidate be capable of working across the political aisle to seek solutions to the problems that face our government or will she/he be an obstructionists who digs in their heels to anything proposed by the other side?

5. Will your candidate place country, state, county or town first before their own political ambition or their personal gain?

Given the many issues facing our society it is extremely important that the choices we make during this election cycle be ones that cause positive improvement for the benefit of the population as a whole. We must put aside our own personal interest and look at the good of all as we cast the ballot that will set the course of government and the many lives affected by their actions for the next several years. May God bless and assist the men and women we place into these important offices.

Please remember to vote Nov. 6.

100 Years Ago - November 1912 Cherished relic destroyed An old cannon, probably a relic of the Revolutionary War, which has occupied a place on the grounds of the Fort William Henry Hotel at Lake George for upwards of 75 years, was destroyed Thursday night, Oct. 31, 1912 by a crowd of Halloween frolickers.

The canon was for many years stored in a small house built for that purpose on the knoll east of the hotel, but this was torn down some years ago and the cannon has since stood exposed to the elements.

After indulging in various pranks about the village, the crowd of roisterers, whose identity is unknown, loaded the old canon to the muzzle and at 1:30 A.M. it was discharged with a roar that shook the town. The explosion shattered the gun and strewed fragments for a quarter of a mile in all directions. The piece was mounted on a carriage of oak and hickory and this was also completely destroyed.

The cannon was highly prized by the villagers as a relic and there was much indignation over the destruction. Should the miscreants be discovered, they will be severely punished. The piece was once used to fire a national salute for General Ulysses S. Grant when he arrived at the hotel on a trip through the lake on the old steamer, Minnehaha.

Young man commits suicide

Edward Seelye, formerly of Dunham’s Bay, Lake George, committed suicide Saturday morning, Nov. 9, 1912, by shooting himself in the temple at the home of his aunt in New Jersey.

The young man fell from a window about a year ago, striking his head. Since than he has been in a nervous state and often was unable to sleep for days. It is believed that his mind was affected by the injury.

Young Seelye was a grandson of the late

Edward Eggleston, the famous author and he was a graduate of Princeton University and the school of mines of Columbia University. He was 26 years old and employed by the Oxford Copper Company of Bayonne, New Jersey. Edward was the son of Elwin Seelye of Dunham’s Bay and the body was brought there for burial in the private cemetery on the Seelye place beside the remains of his grandfather and sister, Allegra Seelye, who was killed by lightening several years ago while a student at Columbia University.

Decision rendered

In the case of the Town of Queensbury against the City of Glens Falls, the Court of Appeals has made a decision which affirms a judgment for $4,567 on March 11, 1911. The city will be compelled to pay a portion of the cost of construction of the Glens Falls - Lake George and the Glens Falls - Hudson Falls state highways because the roads were built while Glens Falls was a village and a part of the Town of Queensbury.

Bazaar accident

While Miss Grace Culver of Friend’s Lake was driving home from Loon Lake Friday night, Nov. 1, 1912 and was coming through Jacob Vetter ’s woods, one side of the thills came out of its clip allowing them drop down on the horse’s heels. The horse was frightened and broke into a run.

Lynwood Carpenter, who was riding with Miss Culver, tried to help stop the animal, but the wagon was tipped over and both were thrown out. Miss Culver pluckily clung to the reins and was dragged some distance, but seeing her danger finally let go. The horse got loose from the wagon and was stopped near Addison Kingsley’s place.

Miss Culver was considerably bruised, but suffered no serious injury. Young Carpenter was only slightly bruised and the horse was not hurt.

A woman, who admits to have been looking back at her toddler while driving, crashed into the bike. Chad was thrown, and suffered a crushed pelvis and a badly injured knee. Those who know Chad will not be surprised to learn that, as he begins the long journey toward restored health, he is cracking jokes and telling stories. He is so well liked at work (he is a crew member on a boat) that his co-workers have donated their sick and vacation time to him for the long recovery ahead.

Opinion - Adirondack Journal - 7

wheelwright shop at North Creek, situated on upper Main Street near the D.& H. railroad station, was burned to the ground on Wednesday night, Oct. 30, 1912, together will all of its contents, including about $1,000 worth of seasoned lumber.

The fire broke out about 11 o’clock and an alarm was given by the ringing of church bells and the blowing of steam whistles. A large crowd gathered and a bucket brigade was quickly formed but was unable to accomplish much because of the strong wind.

The house adjoining, occupied by Michael Owens, was saved with much effort. The loss is estimated at $4,000 only partially covered by insurance. There is no plan to rebuild the shop at present.

Failed to dodge the bullet

Mrs. Elwin Austin, of Newcomb, is laid up with a bullet wound in her limb caused by the accidental discharge of a gun, on Oct. 27, 1912, in the hands of James Moynehan.

Mr. Moynehan picked up the gun to clean it when the trigger caught in his mitten and discharged it, inflicting a flesh wound in Mrs. Austin’s leg.

Expensive blaze

Scrimping and saving every available penny for years, Mrs. E.D. Bentley finally accumulated $789.95, her bank being a discarded parlor stove in which she hid her funds from her husband. She wished to surprise him one day in the future by placing in his hand the money when the total reached $1,000 to purchase a house and small farm in the Catskills.

While she was absent on a visit the weather became chilly and Bentley dragged out the stove, set it up and started a roaring fire in it to take the chill off the parlor room. Now Mrs. Bentley’s fortune is in the shape of a few silver and copper coins fused into a solid mass.

News near and far

purchased the David Millington farm. Schermerhorn Brothers of Lake George are rebuilding their camp in the Curtis clearing which was recently destroyed by fire and hope to occupy it during the remainder of the hunting season.

William R. LaFlure, who recently removed from Pottersville to Chestertown, has bought the Mundy automobile garage on Main Street in that village and will open it on April 1, 1913. Until that time he will be employed at the Empire Garage in Glens Falls and his family will remain in Chestertown until his return.

The Ordway Hotel and premises at West Stony Creek, a well known resort for sportsmen and summer guests, has been purchased by the Riverside Distributing Company of Riparius who, on May 1, 1913, will take possession.

Three run for Thurman Town Board seat

By Shaun Kittle

shaun@denpubs.com THURMAN — Three candidates are hoping to take a vacant seat on the Thurman Town Board.

The seat is currently held by Bob Hitchcock, who took over the position for his wife, Rebecca, who died last May. The election is for a one-year term on the board and will be subject to another election in 2013.

Lisa-Marie Binder, Gail Seaman and Filomena Riviello, who is serving as Thurman Town Justice through Dec. 31, are competing for the seat.

Sheila Flanagan is the write-in candidate for town justice to succeed Riviello.

Binder and Riviello both said they would bring something new to the town board if elected.

Seaman and Flanagan could not be reached for this story.

Lisa-Marie Binder

Binder said her inspiration to run came from a recent conversation with her fatherin-law.

“I was talking to my father-in-law one day and I made a comment about the town, and he said, ‘Why don’t you just do it? Put your

money where your mouth is,’” binder said.

“I’m hoping I can put myself out there and make a change for the community.”

After running several million-dollar restaurants, Binder thinks she has the skills to serve as a town board member.

“I think the most staff members I’ve had at one time was 150-200,” Binder said. “I always tried to think outside the box and try to figure out what’s best for everyone involved. Honesty, courtesy and respect are three core ideologies I use in making decisions.”

According to Binder, change needs to start within the community, something she hopes to enact.

“I want to get out there and be part of the new generation, and be involved to get people more people involved in the community,” Binder said. “You have to get involved in order to make an impact.”

Filomena Riviello

Riviello, a write-in candidate for this election, said that being an independent candidate is one of the greatest assets to her campaign.

“I think it’s important to have an independent voice and someone who’s not from here,” Riviello said. “The politics here usually involve families that have been here for generations, and I don’t have any of those

Lisa-Marie Binder Party: Independent Age: 43 Education: Some college for business management and hotel/restaurant management Professions: 25 years of restaurant management Experience: Business experience in running multi-million-dollar restaurants Family: Husband, David; four sons, Jack, Madison, James, Jayden

Filomena Riviello Party: Independent Age: 54 Education: Masters in theater from City University of New York Professions: Thurman Town Justice; current assistant librarian at Johnsburg Library; teaches workshops, directs and acts for local theater companies; former theater professor at SUNY Adirondack; office manager for several large companies in NYC; licensed tour guide for NYC Experience: Current Thurman Town Justice Family: Single connections. I think that’s one of the reasons I was elected as town justice—people like having somebody completely independent.”

Riviello said “a fair budget that allows for the needed services of the town” is the biggest issue facing Thurman right now.

“Right now, the way the budget looks, there are things that are absolutely unnecessary, and those are being held up as more important than the services to the town,” Riviello said.

She credits her current position as town justice with being instrumental in helping her see what needs to be done in Thurman.

“I think my four years as town justice has made me very aware of some of the problems and possibilities of this town. Plus, I live here and I love the community and I love my neighbors, and I think that as long as I’m here I’m going to try to contribute something.”

Local health care facilities connect with telemedicine services

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com

“This also establishes a significant broadband presence in the respective rural communities where there has been little or no high-speed Internet access in the past,” Raynsford said.

The $8,998,004 program was been funded by the Rural Healthcare Pilot Program (RHCCP) grant.

The network encompasses Warren, Essex, Clinton, Franklin, Rensselaer, Saratoga, St. Lawrence and Washington counties in New York and extends to Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, Vt. “We are confident that this new fiber optic telecommunications system will improve health care quality, patient safe-

ty and maximize cost efficiencies — and the timing couldn’t be better,” said Joan McFaul, vice president and chief information officer at Glens Falls Hospital.

U.S. Congressman Bill Owens (D-Plattsburgh), state Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) and Assemblywoman Janet Duprey (R-Peru) all played a role in gaining funding for the project.

To provide the most cost effective access to all 49 participants, the Development Authority of the North Country (DANC) will use multiple local service provider networks to connect ACTION member locations throughout the region.

DANC’s working relationships for the ACTION network include these service providers: ION, Westelcom, PrimeLink, Tech Valley Communications, and SLIC Network Solutions.

GLENS FALLS — Telemedicine services offer connectivity to hospitals across the state to provide easier communication and easier access to patients files.

Hospitals, clinics, and physicians’ offices throughout the northern New York will be able to connect with greater precision to better treat patients through the ACTION network.

The telemedicine and telehealth service should begin in late November.

The Adirondack–Champlain Telemedicine Information Network, ACTION, is a regional initiative formed to create a fiber optic telecommunications and telemedicine network that connects eight participating hospitals, 40 primary care facilities affiliated with these hospitals and the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe Health Services facility.

The initiative is collaboration between the hospitals as well as multiple telecom carriers.

“We are attached via a fiber network that allows for the secure transfer and sharing of data in a cost effective manner, as well as the ability to leverage telemedicine,” said Darlene Raynsford, director of communications, marketing and public relations at Glens Falls Hospital.

Through the telemedicine program, hospitals and healthcare facilities would have the ability to consult via video conference through facilities that are connected.

Two run for Stony Creek Town Board seat

By Shaun Kittle

shaun@denpubs.com STONY CREEK — Two candidates are vying to fill an empty seat on the Stony Creek Town Board.

John Thomas and John F. O’Neill are running for a seat last held by William Liebl, who retired in June due to health issues after serving on the Stony Creek Town Board for almost two decades.

The election is for a one-year term on the board and will be subject to another election in 2013.

The candidates both said they have been involved in their communities, and have strong relationships with the people who live there. Both candidates also agreed that keeping taxes down is important.

Voting will take place Nov. 6 from 6 a.m.-9 p.m. at the Stony Creek Town Hall.

John F. O’Neill

O’Neill said that, if elected, he will bring his straightforward approach to the Town Board.

“I think the most pressing need for the town is someone who is not going to say one thing and do another,” O’Neill said. “I want to promote technology growth. I’ve been looking into technology grants and communications grants to help expand cellular service and internet service.”

Encouraging small business growth and increasing tourism in the area are also important to O’Neill.

“Having worked in Lake George, Warrensburgh, Thurman

sdfarrell@frontiernet.net

and Stony Creek, I know how small towns work and I know what works best to promote tourism as well as what doesn’t work with the public,” O’Neill said. “If we have more businesses we promote tourism at the same time and improve upon the community that we have.”

O’Neill also mentioned his idea to have a weekly flier for the town to keep people informed of local happenings, and working to establish snowmobile trails throughout the region to promote tourism.

“As the railroad came through, they eliminated all use of snowmobiles on railroad tracks for safety reasons, which is completely understandable; however, that cut us off from a lot of our tourism in the winter department. I am hoping we can get a (snowmobile) trail system to connect Saratoga County, Warren, Washington, like a unified trail system that would also allow us to have passage to North Creek and Essex County. Something people could greatly enjoy while also having an opportunity to explore the Adirondacks.”

John Thomas Party: Independent Age: 51 Education: Hadley-Luzerne High School Professions: Self-employed contractor, owns a campground and runs a sawmill Experience: Been in business for himself for more than 30 years; current trustee and former first chief of the Stony Creek Fire Department; library board member; Boy Scout leader; Methodist Church board member Family: Wife, Wendy; two sons, Justin and Brandon

Thomas said his strongest qualification for the town board position is that he knows the people in Stony Creek. Creating jobs and helping the elderly will be his top priorities if elected.

“I’ve been involved with the community, the Boy Scouts and Fire Department,” Thomas said. “I know most of the people and the age group that might need some extra assistance.”

To help the community, Thomas said he would explore as many options as possible.

“I’d like to expand on some programs we have, like Meals on Wheels, and see if there are other programs other towns have that we might have missed because we are a small town,” Thomas said.

Still, Thomas said that keeping taxes low is important.

“I believe I can stay within the budget. I know there’s a lot of elderly people in town on a fixed income, so anything I can do to help keep taxes down is mainly what I’m running for.”

L. George woman arrested for welfare fraud LAKE GEORGE — Kelly A. Mann, 40 years of age, of 7 Thompson Ave., Lake George, was recently arrested by Warren County Sheriff ’s deputies.

Mann was charged with Welfare Fraud in the 3rd degree, Grand Larceny in the 3rd degree, Health Care Fraud 4th degree and two counts of Offering a False Instrument in the 1st degree after an investigation into a report from the Warren County Department of Social Services that she failed to accurately report her total accurate household composition when making applications to receive food stamp, Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) and medical assistance benefits.

The report alleged that Mann filed applications and recertifications to receive public assistance benefits, as required to establish eligibility, and failed to accurately report her total accurate household composition. Specifically that she failed to report an individual who was employed and living in her residence. Eligibility to receive public assistance benefits is determined by a number of factors including total household income.

As a result she received more than $23,800 in food stamp benefits, HEAP and Medicaid benefits that she was otherwise ineligible to receive. Mann was charged and arraigned in Lake George Town Court. She was released on her own recognizance and was to re-appear in Queensbury Town Court on Oct. 15.

The investigation was conducted by Warren County Sheriff ’s Investigator Kevin W. Conine and Warren County Department of Social Services Investigator Lisa Zulauf.

Nashville in North Creek from page 1 given the number of country music fans,” Gadway said. “I plan to change that, at least once a year.”

Since announcing the event in September, Gadway said the response has been so great that she sees no problem with Nashville in North Creek becoming an annual event expanding each year.

“My dream is to have an artist in every venue in town at different times throughout the weekend so that we all can share in the Nashville experience,” she said. “The sky is the limit. For now, we will take one year at a time and see where it takes us.”

For now, Nashville in North Creek is limited to the Copperfield Inn, where performances will be held at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3 and 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 4. The artists are Decadence, of North Creek; Steven L. Smith Band, of Brant Lake; and Renee Wahl and DW Dasher, of Nashville.

As of press time, about 90 tickets had been presold, and Gadway is predicting a large number will be sold at the door for each performance.

“The area is buzzing with excitement and anticipation,” she said. “We have people coming from as far as Connecticut.”

Although North Creek annually hosts a bluegrass festival in August, there’s never been a country music festival in town.

“I think the idea of meeting people that are on the verge of being big country music stars that have shared the stage with some big name artists is a great feeling for many people,” Gadway said. “It introduces them to a world that they may not necessarily ever be subject to.”

Gadway said she’s happy to bring a little Nashville to North Creek, to give back to the community. And the Nashville performers are excited as well.

“They feel honored that they have been asked to play in our area and meet the people that have cared for my band so much, to experience the feeling of a community pulling together to help two girls live their dream,” Gadway said. “We are a special community, and I am proud to say that I am from this area.”

Tickets purchased in advance are $10 and $15 at the door. Call 251-2200 for more infor-

mation.

“We could potentially sell out, so I would encourage people to buy tickets early,” Gadway said.

Decadence

Decadence is an Americana band fronted

by Jennifer Gadway and Katy Cole since 1999.

A true powerhouse duo, they often classify themselves as “Real women, singing real music.” Combining Gadway's powerful country voice with Cole's folk and blues influences, these two unique voices come together to create a sound that is fresh and original. They have been promoting their debut album “Love Loud” in Nashville and New York City over the summer and have enjoyed local, national and international airplay.

They have shared the stage with some Nashville hard hitters including CMT Top 20 artist Don Pedigo. Being invited to play for a week of shows at Tootsie's World Famous Orchid Lounge” on broadway in Nashville has been the highlight of their summer.

They are working with HMG Nashville to officially launch their first single to the nation.

Patty Griffin, Buddy And Julie Miller); guitarist Kenny Vaughan (Marty Stuart); Pat Bergerson (Shelby Lynne, Wynonna Judd, Lyle Lovett, Suzy Boggus) on guitar and harmonica; Fats Kaplin (Mark Knopfler, Garth Brooks, Waylon Jennings); Charles Treadway on organ (The Dynamites); GRAMMY winner Charlie Chadwick and Roger Prescott.

Steven L. Smith Band

Steven L. Smith, of Brant Lake, is an Adirondack native with ties to Nashville.

His last two CDs recorded in Nashville charted on the Americana and Roots 66 international music charts. Steven is a voting member of the Country Music Academy (CMA). He and his band have toured the east coast, played in and around the Nashville area and Steven has also toured Ireland doing radio interviews and playing his Adirondack Country Blues. His most recent CD “Ramble On” features Charlie McCoy, from “Hee Haw,” playing harmonica.

He has also had the good fortune to record with Crystal Gayle and Jimmy VanZant along with members of the Oak Ridge Boys Band and Greg Jennings from Restless Heart.

Renee Wahl

D.W. Dasher

Renée Wahl writes intelligent, literate songs from the heart. Working both on her own and with Roger Prescott (Trainwreck Ghost, the Texacala Jones Band), Wahl displays a talent for creating and inhabiting characters and moments in the fashion of Lyle Lovett and Townes Van Zandt. Combine this with a voice that finds the soft parts of your soul and insinuates itself there and it’s easy to understand why Wahl has been compared to Maria McKee (Lone Justice).

Listening to her debut album Cumberland Moonshine, listeners will find themselves drawn into finely detailed story songs with a universal air. Songs of heartbreak, redemption and love lost and found dot the landscape of Cumberland Moonshine, and Renée Wahl voices each as if nothing else matters in the world.

Cumberland Moonshine establishes Wahl as a serious player in Nashville. It doesn’t hurt that Wahl is backed by one of the best supporting casts in Nashville. Cumberland Moonshine features performances from Bryan Owings on drums (Emmylou Harris,

D.W. Dasher is a lifelong musician and songwriter. His music is unique yet classic in style. His baritone voice delivers power and emotion heavily influenced by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson.

He is a founding member of the Nashville Rock trio Mellow Down Easy, while maintaining a solo career in the Americana/Country/Folk genre. In the spring of 2005, he was given the opportunity to work on a county album with close friends Kent Goodson (George Jones) and Patrick Boone, co-writing and recording with one of Dasher's favorite rock vocalists Jeff Keith from the platinum selling band Tesla. He has toured extensively since 2005 in the United States and abroad.

In 2009 Dasher celebrated the release of both Mellow Down Easy’s critically acclaimed “Cosmisutra” album and his debut solo album “Long Road Now” featuring members of the late Waylon Jennings' band.

D.W.'s new album, set to be released Winter of 2012 includes 10 new songs written, performed, and produced by D.W. himself.

Business Journal ranks Lake George School District in Top 10 of 84 schools in Upstate New York LAKE GEORGE — Buffalo First, a Buffalo-based business journal, has listed the Lake George Central School District as number 10 in a ranking of 84 Capital Region School Districts and 55 out of 430 school districts throughout upstate New York.

In addition, the district was rated as the top school district in Warren and Washington Counties.

“I can’t tell you how proud I am of our ranking,” said District Superintendent Patrick Dee. “Along with our Jr.-Sr. High School being named an Award School by the state, this ranking once again demonstrates that the Lake George Central School District is doing amazing things for its students.”

Mr. Dee credits his faculty, staff, administrators and students who work diligently to consistently achieve high marks as well as the wonderful partnership that exists between home and school.

“Absent a strong home/school partnership, achievements such as these would be all the more difficult,” said Mr. Dee. In ranking schools, the weekly publication took into consideration two things: graduation rates and four years of state test scores supplied by the New York State Department of Education.

For the last 21 years, Buffalo First has ranked its city schools. Last year, it began its evaluation of schools statewide.

APA OKs weather tower permit for proposed J’burg wind farm

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — The Adirondack Park Agency (APA) Friday, Oct. 12 unanimously approved a two-year permit extension for a weather tower on Pete Gay Mountain, which is needed for a commercial wind farm proposal in the town of Johnsburg.

This is the third permit renewal for the 164-foot-tall tower that gathers meteorological data (wind) to build a case for a possible wind farm on the Barton Mines property near the hamlet of North River. The idea for the Adirondack Wind Energy Park was first announced in 2005.

On Oct. 11, APA Regulatory Programs Director Richard Weber presented details about the permit application to the Regulatory Programs Committee, saying that staff recommended board members approve the renewal. “(The permit) reissuance presented a justification that weather data collection will allow more accurate and reliable wind projections which will serve to optimize the future location of wind turbines to achieve efficient energy production,” Weber said.

Although a previous “met” or meteorological tower was gathering data from 2003 to 2005, this particular tower has been operational since the permit was first issued in 2006. The APA renewed the permit in 2008 and 2010.

The extra information is needed to acquire financial support for the project and find adequate locations for or number, height or model of turbines to be proposed, according to the permit application.

In 2005, the wind farm proposal called for 10 wind turbines on Baton Mines land, five in what the APA classifies Industrial Use land in the APA-managed Adirondack Park

Adirondack Park Agency Regulatory Programs Director Richard Weber gives a presentation Oct. 11 on the tower permit renewal application during the APA board meeting in Ray Brook.

Land Use and Development Plan and five on land classified as Resource Management.

The tower is located in the Industrial Use zone.

The applicants are Adirondack Wind Partner, LLC and Barton Mines Company, LLC. There are no changes to the proposed wind farm project, according to Adirondack Wind Partner attorney Bernard Melewski, who requested the permit renewal in an Aug. 8 letter to APA Regulatory Programs Director Richard Weber.

But the economy has not yet picked up.

“Unfortunately, the business climate has remained quite uncertain for small wind farms since the initial renewal of this permit,” Melewski wrote. “Both the national economy and the market price for electricity plummeted soon thereafter, and energy prices have remained low, affecting the economics of both large and smaller projects.”

Melewski also the regulatory environment is New York is also uncertain, especially after Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the Power NY Act of 2011 in August 2011, creating a new process for the siting of electric gener-

ating facilities and repowering projects.

With a stroke of the pen, Cuomo re-established Article X of the Public Service Law and formed the New York State Board on Electric Generation Siting and the Environment.

“The new board just finalized its regulations a week or so ago,” Melewski wrote.

“The impact of that process on energy development in the state is still unclear.”

Melewski also said the political climate in Washington, D.C. has been unpredictable with the election.

If the APA did not renew the permit, the met tower would have had to be taken down

by the end of the month. This extension gives Adirondack Wind Partners until the end of October 2014 to either dismantle the structure or file for another permit renewal.

But one more renewal application will cause the APA to further explore the applicants’ permit and seek justification for the extension. The APA’s Weber said the term “temporary” tower is getting stretched here, and a review process would be more indepth in 2014.

Nothing in the project permit authorizes, endorses or encourages the construction of a commercial wind farm on the Barton Mines property. Any new application will require an Agency permit meeting and be required to have “no undue adverse impact.”

Adirondack Wind Partners had expected that a wind farm would be imminent by 2012.

The wind farm proposal has been controversial because Adirondack environmental groups have opposed the idea, saying the wind turbines would be eyesores and clutter the viewshed for residents and tourists. Proponents say a wind farm is a responsible way of providing green energy in the Adirondack Park.

The Barton Mines land is bordered on three sides by state land: the Gore Mountain Ski Center to the east, the Vanderwhacker Mountain Wild Forest to the north and the Siamese Ponds Wilderness to the west.

Adirondack Treks to hold Paintball Biathlon fundraiser Nov. 3 Event at Garnet Hill Lodge also helps Capital Region Nordic Alliance

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com NORTH RIVER — Adirondack Treks and the Capital Region Nordic Alliance will hold a paintball biathlon fundraiser on Saturday, Nov. 3.

“We’ll be running and then stopping to shoot,” said Russ Myer, president of the Capital Region Nordic Alliance. “It’s a sporting event that combines endurance and accuracy. It’s not combat paintball.”

The biathlon is a fundraiser for the Capital Region Nordic Alliance and Adirondack Treks, a regional outing club whose mission is to get kids involved in outdoor adventure sports.

Adirondack Treks works with kids on sports such as rock climbing, caving, paddling, back country skiing, hiking and camping.

“We are doing this jointly with the Capital Region Nordic Alliance, whose mission is to help disabled folks and war vets get involved in cross-country skiing,” said Kelly Nessle, of Adirondack Treks.

The games are modeled after the Olympic sport of

Mandatory safety classes are held prior to the paintball biathalon.

biathlon, which is usually performed on skis with rifles. Athletes ski for a certain distance, then must shoot and continue to ski until the finish line. Myer said this will be a seasonal alternative to the sport without skis.

“You can run really fast, and you may have shot before and hit the target, but can you do both in a race equally well?” Myers said.

The event will include four shooting bouts that take place between five 1 kilometer loops for older students, and there will be a short, flat course for youth. Adults may choose ei-

ther distance.

All athletes are required to take a part in the mandatory safety clinic before they can complete.

Myer said there will also be an award of recognition given to all athletes to take part in the program.

“This event is open to anyone and everyone who wants to come out,” Myer said. “It will be an integrated event where everyone can come and participate at their own pace. All athletes will be rewarded.”

The Paintball Biathlon will be held at 10 a.m. Nov. 3 at the Garnet Hill Lodge in North River.

All proceeds benefit Adirondack Treks and Capital Region Nordic Alliance, which supports programming for youth and those with disabilities (wounded warriors, children with special needs) in the Nordic sports, year round.

Children and youth through high school $12, adults $15 and the lodge will provide lunch after the festivities.

After the event, Myer said there will be many donated Nordic items in a raffle.

“We’ll have treeline gear, stride adaptive sporting equipment, TOKO and Wax supplies,” Myer said. “There are going to be a lot of great things and it will be great to help out the organization.”

ing ramen noodles. These instant noodles (which he has loved to eat since childhood) are a symbol of his cultural background and Korean popular culture. San Wook says: “Conceptually, the idea of using ramen noodles as a material was appealing due to their cultural unambiguity. For many Koreans they trigger memories of family, gatherings, ceremonies, and place. Reflections on their formal, transformative, and innate ability to conjure up visions of my homeland inspired me to implement them as a narrative device in a new series of works. Formally, the noodles are contained chaos.

Within each square block lies a seemingly controlled universe composed of a matrix of edible, soft, organic lines. Once cooked however, they are unbound and transform into a whirling composition of soft, lyrical lines.”

Sang Wook Lee grew up and was educated in South Korea where he received both a BFA and an MFA from Dong-A University in Busan. Subsequently, he came to the US and earned an MFA from University of Georgia in textiles.

Annie, get your gun!

A

lthough the overall number of licensed hunters in the United States has been on a steady decline, from over 14.1 million participants in 1996 to less than 12.5 million today, there has been one promising trend with the potential to save the shooting sports industry.

Currently, the fastest growing demographic in the industry are women, who currently account for about 15 percent of the shooting, hunting, and firearms marketplace.

According to a survey conducted by the National Sporting Goods Association (NSGA), women’s participation in hunting has increased by over 75 percent is just the last five years. It is estimated 3 million women currently hunt, and as many as 5 million regularly shoot. Hunting and shooting are not gender specific sports, and it appears Barbie may soon replace Bubba in the both field, and at the range.

As the overall number of licensed hunters in the United States has dropped steadily, from 14.1 million in 1996 to 12.5 million today, women have become the fastest growing demographic in the industry. Overall women’s hunting has jumped by 75 percent.

According to researchers, there are 72 percent more women hunting with firearms today than just five years ago. Additionally, there are 50 percent more women regularly participating in target shooting, up from 1.8 million to 3.6 million during the same time span.

Data also indicates women outpace men among net newcomers to target shooting with a rifle, where female participation has grown by 4.1 percent. However hunting with a rifle remains primarily a male pursuit, where men still outnumber women 9 to 1.

In 2011, a Gallup Poll revealed that nearly one quarter of all current gun owners are female. Women now account for nearly 15 percent of the shooting, hunting, and firearms marketplace. Female participation in target shooting increased about 50 percent or from 3.3 million to 5 million nationally from 2001 to 2011, and female participation in hunting increased from 1.8 million to 2.6 million during the same time span.

Growth areas for women included muzzleloading (up 134.6 percent), bowhunting (up 30.7 percent) and hunting with firearms (up 3.5 percent).

According to Corey Cogdell, a 2008 Olympic bronze medalist in trap shooting, and a lifelong hunter, "Shooting is one of the most fun and empowering things you can teach a young girl or a grown woman.”

The dramatic increase in female participation can be attributed to numerous programs intended to introduce women to hunting, such Becoming An Outdoors Woman program, Doe Camp and as well as more manufacturers producing clothing and gear designed for women.

www.adirondackjournal.com

From 2001 to 2010, the number of women participating in target shooting competitions went up 46.5 percent. The success of the USA Womens Shooting Team, which captured at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, is likely to generate even greater interest in shooting sports.

The team was lead by Kimberly Rhode, the first American to achieve individual medals in five straight Olympics, with a record-setting, near perfect performance.

Rhode began her Olympic career as a teenager in 1996 while taking the gold in double trap at Atlanta, and she took bronze in the same event four years later at Sydney. She earned the gold in trap at Athens in 2004 and won the silver in skeet at Beijing in 2008. She won the women's skeet shooting with a world record performance in London, while setting an Olympic mark by missing only once in 100 shots.

My first experience with a female shooter came over twenty years ago. It occurred while I was hosting an afternoon of skeet shooting for a private group at a local resort.

I had set up two clay pigeon throwers, one of which sent targets on a crossing pattern from left to right, and another which sent targets straight away from the shooters. The straightaway station provided a much easier shot.

The gentlemen, all in their late fifty’s and early sixties, took a few practice rounds and soon the wagering began. As the competitions continued, the commodities wagered changed from cash, to hand rolled cigars, to bottles of fine scotch whiskey.

As the event was winding down, a young lady arrived at the compound. She had come over from Burlington, where she was attending college. Her father, who had arranged the event, asked her, “Would you like to shoot a round or two?”

“Oh no, I simply can’t”, she explained, “I’d be embarrassed, I haven’t shot in years!”

Immediately, the old gents began to chide her, “Awww! come on little lady, let’s see what you’ve got! We’ll go easy on you, Honey. Hell! you can’t be any worse than your Dad!” She attempted to beg off from the event, explaining, “I’m just over for the afternoon, I have to get back to college today.”

Following some good hearted, needling from the assembly, she finally relented and parked her car in the lot. As she walked up to the range, she apologized for not wanting to wager. However, as she began to stuff shot shells into a beautiful, old Purdey shotgun, the wagering began anew.

Her father spotted her some cash, and on the first round she knocked down five out of the six clays. It turned out to be her only miss of the afternoon.

One at a time, she continued to unabashedly shoot the pants off all of the old gents, despite their various attempts to rattle her. Best of all, she did it while sporting a wide smile.

After the competitions ended, she asked me to help her carry the winnings back to her car. I expect she was the most popular girl on campus, returning with boxes of hand rolled cigars, bottles of Chivas Regal and Crown Royal and a wad of cash that would choke a horse.

It was a valuable lesson learned. I’ve never bet against a female shooter since.

Cheyenne Williams of Olmstedville, age 14, shows off her first deer, a 4pointer she shot during the youth hunting weekend with her brother, John Williams.

According to Cheyenne’s aunt Jennifer Smith, she passed on a doe earlier in the day hoping for a buck, which she got.

“Thank you to the NYSDEC for the youth weekend, it was truly a success.

Now Cheyenne is hooked on hunting,” Jennifer said.

Congratulations Cheyenne - great buck!

Andrew Parent smiles proudly as his daughter, Danika, holds one of the fern fronds she found while walking through High Falls Gorge.

Photo by Shaun Kittle

Coming of age W

hen 2-year-old Danika Parent was faced with a 50-foot-high waterfall, she turned to the stone wall behind her and began inspecting a tiny rock fern, common polypody, that was growing from a crack in the gorge. The plunging torrent, which commonly causes a spectator traffic jam along the High Falls Gorge’s trails, did little to impress her, but the

By Shaun Kittle possibility that a tiny plant could have caused the rock to split intrigued her.

The fern wasn’t responsible for the crack, of course—that honor probably goes to frost wedging, a process in which the expansion of freezing water causes rocks, pavement and sidewalks to crack over time. Danika’s interest in all things natural wasn’t deterred by this reality, though. She spent the rest of her journey through the gorge admiring wildflowers growing along the trail’s edge, stomping after toads as they hopped for cover and investigating the sources of various chirps and tweets, all the while casually dismissing the whitecapped water so many others had paid to see.

When Danika’s father, Andrew, invited me to join them on this little adventure, I was admittedly hesitant to accept. I used to wonder why anyone would go to a place like High Falls Gorge in Wilmington or Ausable Chasm in Keeseville when all one has to do is hike 6 miles to Indian Pass to see a gorge, or do the 8-mile loop from the Ausable Club to take in half a dozen waterfalls.

The answer is simple: Not everyone can get to such places, but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to.

While exploring High Falls Gorge with Danika and Andrew, I saw people who had issues walking, elderly folks who needed the security of the handrail and parents who had several children to keep track of. While I could argue that most kids can handle the rigors of a trail through the deep woods, not every parent is equipped to bring them there, and there are some whose physical condition simply does not allow for such an endeavor.

And then there was little Danika, petting every patch of moss, examining every delicate flower, chasing every swallowtail butterfly. The draw of this place is the West Branch of the Ausable River and the crack in the earth it occupies, but, as Danika had discovered, that is only a lure to something more grand.

As we explored the gorge, I began to realize that these businesses, the ones I had previously snubbed, are providing a service whose benefits cannot be weighed. As someone who understands that human health, a clean environment and education are imperative to a functioning society, I can easily make a direct connection between those needs and the importance of everyone having access to the outdoors.

Drawing parents and their children into nature encourages people like Danika and Andrew to take a closer look at the living world around them, and the interpretive signs along the trails are the perfect complement to that. This kind of interaction inspires more trips and other healthy activities, and promotes learning that is sparked by a curiosity about the world, something that leads to an understanding of nature that can only develop into respect and compassion for all living things.

The walkways and handrails found in places like Ausable Chasm and High Falls Gorge also help those who aren’t as able-bodied navigate the wilderness. People like myself can talk about the obvious benefits of protecting our forests, water and air, but talk pales in comparison to the sight of water raging through a gorge, a pitcher plant in full bloom or a snapping turtle laying eggs. These places are alive.

Danika is a little older now, and her ability to pronounce the word “butterfly” has improved dramatically. Andrew calls me for advice regarding other hikes to bring her on, ones without wooden viewing decks and stairways, and I am happy to oblige. I think I will always remember that first adventure, though. It taught me that these places, with their interpretive trail signs and fences, are providing a service to everyone who appreciates the outdoors.

It’s funny to me, how learning works. I never would have thought that watching a little girl show her daddy a fern frond could help complete the picture of the world as I see it.

Election 2012: 21st Congressional: Bill Owens (D) v. Matt Doheny (R) Denton Publications recently sat down with incumbent Congressman Bill Owens and challenger Matt Doheny to discuss several key issues that relate to the North Country, nation, and the 2012 election. We asked each candidate the same six questions and allowed them to respond. Here is some of what they had to say:

Bill Owens After hearing from and speaking to people in the 21st District, list the top three issues people in the North Country are facing, in your opinion, and how you would address them: Clearly the first thing that we hear about is jobs and the economy. We look at a couple of different elements. The first is the unfilled jobs in the North Country. The other piece of it is that we need to have some programs that would supplement wages. If they had a $12 an hour job and were offered an $8, they should be offered some transitional money to get it back up to the $12 range. I think that we need to continue to focus on Canada as a continued source of employment. One of the other pieces is to make sure that we are providing public funding to put broadband into the communities and improving broadband coverage in the communities.

The second thing is about our inability in Congress to get anything done. People are just very concerned that we are unable to have a conversation and reach a conclusion. From my perspective, I vote about 35-percent of the time with the Republicans. I am considered by the rating agencies to be a moderate.

The third topic that we hear a lot about is the farm bill. Those are the three things that I hear most consistently in the conversation. We need to pass the farm bill in the house so we can get it into the Senate, because in January we are reverting back to a 1930's statute — there is some concern for a truly unanticipated outcome.

Both sides say they have the best interest of the middle class at heart, but the argument can be made that the middle class has been in a downward spiral under both political parties for years. Give specific examples of what can be done to offer immediate relief to the middle class and how you would help make that happen?

Most of what I talk about is focused on the middle class and trying to create those middle class jobs. The other piece of this is we're in a scenario where we have been, in essence, pushing the middle class down. There is a point where you get to the cliff. If you continue this downward push you will then push the economy over the edge of the table.

We need to get people back to work focusing on education and not just higher education.

We need to make sure we have people who have skills and can work in the trades. Point kids toward the jobs that will be available. I think that for most of us, when I decided to become a lawyer, I did not know what it was going to take to be a lawyer. I grew to love the job, and I don't think that there is anything wrong with that.

Everyone talks about bipartisanship, yet candidates — like yourselves — continue to campaign with hostility toward the other side. After such a mean-spirited campaign is bipartisanship really possible?

I would say to you that the answer is yes because generally speaking, the people you have had a tough campaign with are not the people that you are working with generally. Chris Gibson and I work together fine.

It is an interesting question as to are we a reflection of society or is society a reflection of us. If in fact you are going to solve some of these problems, part of what has to happen is we have to take responsibility, but the public has to take responsibility as well. People have to argue from the facts and as you do these things, there will be pain of various types that people will experience, and it has to be a shared pain in order for it to be fair.

Candidates are anxious to meet with local residents every two years when running for office. Are you willing to make a commitment that you’ll visit each town — other than a campaign stop — in your district during your term?

When you have 17,000 square miles to cover it is tough. Certainly we will reach out to every constituent. As far as getting out to every town, certainly that is a tough commitment to make. I think that people enjoy the telephone town halls. They get to hear what people are saying in the broader district. We will continue to use mobile office hours and literature and all of the tools in the cabinet. We will make as many stops as we physically can. I want the experience to be a quality experience, not just checking something off a sheet.

We know your position on Obama Care. What do you see as the two best and the worst elements of the legislation and how can we move health care forward without wasting the past four year ’s efforts?

The two most important elements are the ones that push us toward more preventative care and getting those 30 million people insured. It is a shifting in sources of revenue rather than the elimination of one.

I did vote to repeal a couple of sections, the 1099 piece and the medical device tax.

I think as we go forward, we are going to need to remain somewhat flexible as we go through this process to see what works and what doesn't and to make changes as we go along. State insurance exchanges are a good example.

Is getting this job about you or about the country? And if about the country then why do you need health care, a pension and more than a million dollars a year for offices in order to serve?

I am on my wife's plan and not the Congressional plan.

Like all federal employees, everyone needs health care so you need a source. The pension only kicks in if you are there for five years and it is 1.3 percent which is contributed for vesting for you. It's not as people think, day one you get a pension and it is your full salary.

I am not sure how one covers 17,000 square miles without a few dollars. It costs money to run town halls, it costs money to set up offices and it costs money to travel around the district. I have returned between 10-12 percent of my budget because I managed to achieve my goal. We have been pretty successful at that. If you are going to talk about cutting, then you have to show that you can cut yourself. If you took 10 percent out of the federal budget, you would save about $300 billion, which would be a significant amount of money.

Matt Doheny After hearing from and speaking to people in the 21st District, list the top three issues people in the North Country are facing, in your opinion, and how you would address them: The first is the lack of growth in economy.

Second is the lack of jobs because of lack of growth. The third would be the lack of government effectiveness in the sense of the debt blowing out to record levels and the sense of uncertainty in the economy. This is why I am running for congress.

I want everybody to have the same opportunities that our parents and grandparents had. I have taken on tremendous challenges and am a self-made man as a businessman.

Bringing that know-how is what we need to bring the economy forward.

Jobs is a corollary of that. Private sector job growth is how we are going to have a vital economy here whether you live in the blue line or in a city area. I think I have an opportunity to be the salesman-in-chief.

Both sides say they have the best interest of the middle class at heart, but the argument can be made that the middle class has been in a downward spiral under both political parties for years. Give specific examples of what can be done to offer immediate relief to the middle class and how you would help make that happen?

I do agree that the stats speak for themselves and I do not think that is just a President Obama challenge. We had the same challenge through George W. Bush, but not as acute. As someone growing up barely in the middle class in Alex Bay, I understand.

I am going to put myself in the shoes of a small business person. How would that person vote in Washington? That is not only a good proxy for the small business owner, but also it is a good proxy for the middle class person. When you get to the nuts and bolts, voting that way will help remove the barriers that prevent people from getting through the day.

I believe in the social safety net, but when the social safety net becomes a hammock, that is when people get upset.

When we talk about gas prices, in terms of an issue, everybody talks about it. When it takes you 45-50 minutes to get to work everyday, gas prices matter. Can I tell you that I can move the price of gas three cents, that's hogwash. But to work on policies where we can have independence or to have more control over the demand, that is definitely something worth pursuing.

Everyone talks about bipartisanship, yet candidates — like yourselves — continue to campaign with hostility toward the other side. After such a mean-spirited campaign is bipartisanship really possible?

It is possible. Are there policy differences, sure. The moment you get elected, we are all Americans. The lack of leadership is a bi-partisan failure.

I have not become successful because I have said that I want to get everything that I want out of every deal and you get nothing. You want the other person to get their six or seven things because the deal has to be something that both sides can be happy on. That seems to be something that has become lost in Washington.

We have not had a budget in four years. Everything we talk about in business is all about being on budget. You can't run a business, a family or a not-for-profit that way. I will work very closely with our Democratic senators and the governor. I do not care if the local town supervisor is a D, R, I or Martian. There is no Democratic or Republican sewer line or cell phone tower.

Candidates are anxious to meet with local residents every two years when running for office. Are you willing to make a commitment that you’ll visit each town — other than a campaign stop — in your district during your term?

I have pledged that I am going to visit each of the 194 towns within my district once every term. I am going to have an office in all 12 counties. Essex County will have an office. I want to invest in people and in physical space rather than mailers. There will be someone in each county that will be responsible and the point person for the campaign.

We know your position on Obama Care. What do you see as the two best and the worst elements of the legislation and how can we move health care forward without wasting the past four year ’s efforts?

The two best elements are moving the age from 18 to 26 for coverage. I think that is something I would include in any health care package. I think that there are discrete elements that could be channeled into a form where we are trying to make sure that we have incentives to make sure that people do not get as sick as quickly. Some of the preventative issues we could work with to create a better free market healthcare system.

The two biggest problems are just so fundamental. It is going to be a climb to a single payer system. It's going to have a huge negative impact. The way Obama Care is structured will lead to fewer hospitals and fewer doctors in rural America and in the North Country.

All of the savings are determined through a 15 person panel. How do I know it, because I actually read it. How do you stop it, there is a super-majority provision of the house and senate to stop one of these recommendations from becoming the law of the land. It will reduce our healthcare benefits. This is why we have to go in a different direction in terms of health care. A lot of it is directed to having government say who is getting paid and how they are going to get it.

Is getting this job about you or about the country? And if about the country then why do you need health care, a pension and more than a million dollars a year for offices in order to serve?

It is 100-percent about the country. When you are your own largest donor, it’s not about me. If they want to change the reimbursement then I will have no problem with it. If there were a bill to change the congressional pension program not only would I vote for the bill, I would co-sponsor it.

Election 2012: 114th Assembly: Dennis Tarantino (D) v. Dan Stec (R) Denton Publications recently sat down with Dennis Tarantino and Dan Stec, candidates for the vacant 114th Assembly District, to discuss several key issues that relate to the district, state and 2012 election. We asked each candidate six questions on the same topics and allowed them to respond. Here is some of what they had to say:

Dennis Tarantino

Dan Stec

When the state adopted the 2 percent property tax cap, local municipalities and school districts were promised mandate relief. To date there has been no meaningful mandate relief. What action will you take to help local governments meet the tax cap?

I am a big supporter of Gov. Cuomo in a lot of respects, but he'd said that there is no more mandate relief coming. I believe that there has to be mandate relief. There has to be. We have the economic councils set up and now is the time to start to work on it and that would be one of my top priorities.

One thing that concerns me is Medicaid. If we are going to make some changes, I want to make sure that we do no harm to the recipients.

There are things that we are trying to do well for society, but we have to deal with how to fund them.

When the state adopted the 2 percent property tax cap, local municipalities and school districts were promised mandate relief. To date there has been no meaningful mandate relief. What action will you take to help local governments meet the tax cap?

We are not asking the state for more money, we are asking for them to stop putting more money on the backs of taxpayers. The state is putting pressure on us to meet a standard and they are taking stuff out of their backpack and putting it in our backpack.

Everyone in the district is saying that same thing about the mandates. The vast majority of local budgets are things that are mandated by the state. They are not asking for state handouts, they are just saying don't keep running up our tab. I'm opposed to just shifting the burden back to the state, but the list of mandates cannot keep outpacing the tax cap.

The Lake George Park Commission will likely approve a plan requiring decontamination and inspection of boats before entering Lake George. Implementation of the program will require DEC approval and state funding. Do you support it?

There is no question that protecting and preserving the assets that we have is critical to our lifestyle. It would have a detrimental impact on our tourism economy. The use of our occupancy tax is a legitimate use in this area. If it inconveniences a few people to protect the asset, then I feel we should inconvenience a few people.

I am concerned that those that live here are not overcharged for the use of the lake.

The Lake George Park Commission will likely approve a plan requiring decontamination and inspection of boats before entering Lake George. Implementation of the program will require DEC approval and state funding. Do you support it?

The Warren County board has been frustrated with the issue of Asian clams for a number of years. We are very frustrated that the state has not been doing their job as a landowner of the lake and the clock is ticking, which is why we’ve made the decision to use occupancy tax money toward the problem. A lot of the supervisors in the park believe that some of these land purchase monies should go toward Asian clam and invasive species protection.

When it comes time for the APA to classify the 20,000 acres surrounding the Boreas Ponds tract, what type of classification would you support? How do you stand on removing the log cabin that overlooks the ponds and maintaining the roads and manmade dam there?

I know the position of the environmentalists that they want to open it up. I am concerned about the needs of the hunting camps and protecting them. It's an APA issue to me in general and I would want to talk to specialized people on these specialized issues, like Fred Monroe, whose opinion I respect. I want to take a look at both sides before I react.

You favor raising the minimum wage. Please explain your rationale for that position when business owners argue that doing so will most likely force them to raise prices to adjust for increased labor costs?

In my small survey of business owners, I received just one significant opposition to my position. I said that it had been raised once before and I asked him if it affected his business, and he said no. The other people have said to me that it is time to raise it. They agree with the 80 percent of the people in the state that agree that it is time to increase the minimum wage. I don't think that it is going to hurt business, I really don't. Some people have even said it is a moral thing that we need to do. I think that it is needed, especially in this district.

The North Country has been dealing with lack of good job opportunities for our youth, sometimes referred to as Brain Drain. What ideas do you have to help us retain our youth so they can help stimulate the North Country economy and see strong value in remaining here and raising their families here?

The first step is education and funding the schools better. Downstate schools are getting more money then we are up here. We have to realize that these kids need different training then we needed when we came out of school. We have to look at the employers and where we can expand jobs in the North Country.

The family structure is also important in giving kids the work ethic and tools that they need.

Governor Cuomo has created a strong bi-partisan leader style since taking office and has been a regular visitor to the 114th district. What opportunities do you see to assist the district in working with the governor and are there areas in which you disagree with his positions that have an adverse affect on the district?

The whole atmosphere with him and what happens here up north, it seems that he connects with people and that is a real positive sign. In the past there has not always been that bipartisanship with the governor. Because of Gov. Cuomo and the image that he has been making, I want to be a part of his team and what he is doing.

I feel that I would have a real close link to the governor ’s office. I think the ”D” next to my name will help us up here more. I am not saying that it would be a magic bullet, but it could help.

Unfounded mandates would be on the top of the list for things that hurt the region. I am looking for two years to do something, and just two. I want to make an immediate impact and work to get things done right away. I think that he will talk to me and I think that we can get some things done that way.

When it comes time for the APA to classify the 20,000 acres surrounding the Boreas Ponds tract, what type of classification would you support? How do you stand on removing the log cabin that overlooks the ponds and maintaining the roads and manmade dam there?

Maintain what you have in the cabin and the infrastructure that you have. Just to tear down a structure that you have does not make sense to me and does not seem right to me.

If the state is going to own land, let people access the land for recreation. If you can’t take care of the land you already own, you shouldn’t be buying more land. I'm still hoping there is a compromise that will be more acceptable to people, such as a combination of classifications or conservation easements.

You oppose raising the minimum wage. Please explain your rationale and what affect you think it will have on the economy should it not be increased?

I have seen independent studies that show an increase in the minimum wage could have a detrimental impact. The economy is very fragile and my belief is that you would have more people unemployed because family businesses would make the decision that junior will do more work rather than from hiring someone from outside. I have yet to meet a single employer that says if the state would raise the minimum wage then I will hire more employees. There are two ways that you can raise wages. One way is through the economy and the other way is through another state mandate, and our state does not have a good track record with those. The economy is too fragile to do it now.

The North Country has been dealing with lack of good job opportunities for our youth, sometimes referred to as Brain Drain. What ideas do you have to help us retain our youth so they can help stimulate the North Country economy and see strong value in remaining here and raising their families here?

Our youth are more comfortable in the digital age, but if you can't get connected to the internet in Minerva or Keene, then you are not going to live there. We need to make sure that we can remain connected to the rest of the world or people are going to leave.

There are flashes of positive potential on the fringes of the park. The Blue Line is really an impediment, that is what really is stopping economic growth. There is a lot of clean green businesses. They will not even look here because the site selectors have the big table and they just put an “x,” through it because of the regulatory climate in the park.

Governor Cuomo has created a strong bi-partisan leader style since taking office and has been a regular visitor to the 114th district. What opportunities do you see to assist the district in working with the Governor and are there areas in which you disagree with his positions that have an adverse affect on the district?

By and large, I give him a high score, but not a perfect score. I agree that the governor has spent a lot of time here and has a definite interest in the park and I am encouraged by that. I congratulate him on the regional economic development councils, and I know Sen. Little and Assemblywoman Sayward have spoken highly of him.

The one area I disagree with him is the area about the tax cap and mandate relief. He has not done enough with mandate relief and that is going to become obvious as the numbers start to come out. The curves are going to intersect soon.

The continuing purchases of lands in the Adirondacks is a little concerning, as well.

Little runs unopposed in 45th District District drops Hamilton County, adds parts of others

By Shaun Kittle

shaun@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Betty Little (R-Queensbury) is running unopposed for the state’s new 45th Senate District this fall and is seeking a sixth term.

Prior to being elected senator in 2002 for Ronald Stafford’s old seat, Little served in the New York State Assembly for seven years.

Unlike many members of the Senate and Assembly, Little won’t have to change the number of her district this coming year. It remains the 45th; however, it was redrawn for the 2012 election cycle and now omits Hamilton County while keeping Warren, Clinton, Franklin and Essex counties. The new district boundary also includes the towns of

Lawrence, Parishville, Hopkinton, Piercefield, Colton and Clare in St. Lawrence county and all of Washington County except the towns of Easton and Cambridge.

Little serves as chair of the Senate Cultural Affairs, Tourism, Parks and Recreation Committee. In addition, she is a member of the following Senate committees: Civil Service and Pensions; Consumer Protection; Crime Victims, Crime and Correction; Environmental Conservation; Judiciary; and Local Government. In January 2011, she was selected by Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos to serve in a leadership position as Deputy Majority Leader for Intergovernmental Affairs and was appointed to the powerful Senate Finance Committee.

She is also Secretary of the New York State Legislative Sportsperson's Caucus, a member of the Hudson-FultonChamplain Quadricentennial Commission and serves on the New York State Commission on the Restoration of the Capitol.

Election Day is Nov. 6.

Railroad trips from page 1 Express train during the holiday season, and a Snow Train for skiers in the winter. It also connects to Amtrak service in Saratoga, making it possible for tourists to travel from New York City to North Creek in one day for several days of the week during the summer.

“We are grateful to ARPS for the opportunity to work together on a project that can bring a dramatic rail service improvement to the Adirondacks,” Iowa Pacific Holdings President Ed Ellis said in the press release. “Iowa Pacific has been working to revive rail corridors across the U.S. and in other countries for freight and passenger service for over a decade, and our recent success with the Saratoga and North Creek is an indication of what can be done in the Adirondack market.”

Ellis said he believes the higher-end travel audience in New York City is ready to respond to a first-class overnight experience on historic Pullman cars through the Adirondacks to Lake Placid.

“While we are quite aware of the structural challenges involved in developing this kind of service, we believe we are uniquely qualified to assist ARPS and this agreement is a first milestone in working toward the vision,” Ellis said in the release.

ARPS and Iowa Pacific have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that establishes their new working partnership.

Under the agreement, the parties will work together on the full development of a joint plan that can be submitted to the New York State Department of Transportation and form

of work before we can run trains up there.”

ARPS officials thought of the Pullman car idea and called Iowa Pacific in 2011, according to Branson. They’ve been working on a draft of the plan all summer. They’ve seen what Iowa Pacific did in North Creek.

“What they’re doing over there is great, but Ed Ellis, the president of Iowa Pacific has railroads all over the country, in the U.K. and South America,” Branson said. “They’re proven successful operators, and I believe they have the interest of the region at heart. There are just so many ways that so many people can benefit from this, and he gets it.”

Iowa Pacific owns the Pullman Sleeping Car Company, which restores Pullman passenger, dining and sleeping cars from the glory days of high-end train travel and offers excursions. There are 70 cars in various stages of restoration.

This year, the company is launching Pullman Rail Journeys, operating high-end overnight excursions similar to those operated in many areas of Europe, such as the famous Orient Express. The first tour venture will begin in early November from Chicago to New Orleans, with sleeping accommodations ranging from $1,950 for a Class B bedroom and $2,850 for a Class A master bedroom. Class D accommodations run $600 for upper berths and $900 for lower berths.

That’s a one-way price, according to the website.

Passengers would leave in New York City, head to Albany, then to Utica and north on the Adirondack Railroad to Lake Placid.

But the Pullman trips won’t start anytime soon.

“I think this is going to take a couple years to get things done, but that’s OK,” Branson said. “This is a long-term deal, and we intend to have it in the ground and operating to benefit the people of New York for years.”

When launched, the initial run for the first season would be 20 trains over the good-weather months, increasing to 30 and multiple runs a week so people can come up on a Friday and stay the weekend or the week.

“A lot of it’s going to depend on the scheduling,” Branson said. “If we’re partnering with another railroad to get us partway — for example Amtrak or Metro North — a lot of it will depend on their schedule.”

Branson doesn’t anticipate running any Snow Trains like they do from Saratoga Springs to North Creek because the railbed is used by snowmobilers in the winter.

“We’re interested in continuing to operate the Adirondack Scenic Railroad as it does now with the same sort of programs and excursions and adding this,” Branson said.

Despite calls from the Adirondack Recreational Trail Advocates (ARTA) to tear up the tracks and build a 90-mile recreation trail, ARPS is standing behind its plans to build a recreation trail beside the tracks between Saranac Lake and Tupper Lake. The town of North Elba is already planning to build a recreation trail next to the tracks between Saranac Lake and Lake Placid.

“That is absolutely our wish, and it’s not that hard to do and there’s an awful lot of trail alongside the track already,” Branson said. “These are not conflicting perspectives. Folks at ARTA seem to think the rails shouldn’t be there, but they’re wrong and they’re short sighted in their view. And frankly, anybody who would deny these communities the opportunity to have access to this, especially with future freight, is foolish.”
