Creative creatures parade downtown

This Week ELIZABETHTOWN

IN WARRENSBURG

By Thom Randall

Enjoying Dinner with the Dead

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — They walked, stalked, staggered and lurched through downtown.

Goblins, ghouls ghosts, princesses, prowling beasts — Hundreds of them.

The creatures were marching down Main St. on Monday in the annual Halloween parade.

Fueled with fun and imagination, the procession continued down Elm St. and ended in the Warrensburg Elementary School with a concluding party.

The events, sponsored by the Warrensburg Volunteer Fire Co., have been a beloved tradition in the community for more than three decades.

No need to tell Kate Yarmowich Belden, 27 years old. She was marching while carrying her baby son James, who was dressed in a ladybug costume she wore 27 years ago.

“This tradition is one of the wonderful things about Warrensburg, she said, as her mother Reen remarked

Ghouls, creatures and characters in the hundreds marched up Main St. in Warrensburg Thursday, Oct. 27 as the Warrensburg Fire Co. held its annual Halloween Parade. Many of the parade participants displayed considerable creativity in their costumes.

Candidates vie for key upcounty seats

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — It’s been an eventful campaign season, and now it’s come to a conclusion with Tuesday’s general election set for Tuesday.

With various candidates aligning with citizens groups, some switching party affiliations, and others having

their finances or qualifications questioned, there’s been a lot of action this year. Some key supervisorships are up for grabs this year, as is the Warren County Treasurer ’s post. Several Supervisors and town board members who lost in the September Republican primaries have returned for another try under independent labels.

The polls will be open Tuesday Nov. 8 from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

In northern Warren County, the top local executive position of supervisor is contested in Lake George, Horicon, and Johnsburg.

Various candidates are seeking town board seats in Warrensburg, Lake George, Bolton, Horicon, Stony Creek, Johnsburg and Lake Luzerne. In Chester, three candidates are seeking the position of Town Clerk.

Currently, a little-known town board resolution provides that town board members who’ve been on the board for ten years will have health insurance benefits for life after they leave office. The two incumbent town board candidates are already eligible, whether re-elected or not. The two challengers are committed to repealing this rip-off, which would cost Warrensburg taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars over the next several years, unless it’s stopped before it starts. If the challengers are elected, the new board will have the votes to rescind it; if they aren’t, the next board obviously won’t have the votes.

nesses in preparing applications for the ReCharge New York program, which provides power contracts for up to seven years.

Pratt-Gerbino added that area manufacturers were active in seeking out new markets for their goods, particularly overseas.

The recession has offered some good news to industries in the region, she continued. The economic downturn has forced many of the competitors elsewhere in the U.S. to shut down — and when the economy rebounds, this will mean more sales and a healthier profit margin for the area firms that have weathered the downturn.

VOTERS, HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH? YOU DECIDE Town board members are paid $4,000 a year for serving on the board. Let’s err on the high side and presume a board member puts in 100 hours a year on board business. That’s $40 an hour. It’s likely closer to 60 hours a year or $67 an hour.

That’s plenty enough. Why should taxpayers be further burdened having to pay tens of thousands of dollars a year for board health insurance, or, worse yet, tens of thousands more a year for their health insurance after they leave the board?

Please note that the two challengers have expressed opposition to health insurance for board members, either during or after they serve on the board.

The Warrensburgh Museum of Local History is hosting a reception 3 to 8 p.m.

Thursday, Nov. 3 for the opening of its new “Hunting, Fishing and the Bear Waller Club” exhibit.

Those who have previewed the exhibit to date have praised its range of photographs and artifacts of local sportsmen and women since the late 19th century to present times. Visitors may be surprised at who is pictured, museum director Steve Parisi said.

Over the past century, local sportsmen gathered in groups to share the rites of the woods and streams, but none so formal as the Bear Waller Club, with its own published constitution and bylaws. Their annual forays into “camp” were well reported by the Warrensburg News from 1910 into the 1930s.

Contemporary hunters and fishermen are urged to attend the exhibit reception and share their own stories.

Light refreshments will be served. The museum is located in the VFW Building at 3754 Main St., and admission is free. Winter hours are Wednesdays and Sundays, 1 to 4 p.m., plus 6 to 8 p.m. on the first Thursday of each month.

Library gathers food Richards Library has devised an innovative way to gather food for local residents in need of food this holiday season.

In conducting a food drive, the library will be forgiving any accumulated late fees on overdue books for those who bring in a nonperishable food item during November. For every food item brought to the Library, the staff will deduct $1 from any patron’s late fees.

Others in the community, of course, are also welcome to contribute food items. All donations will be sent to the local community food banks either at First Presbyterian Church or the food banks located in the town halls in Warrensburg and Thurman.

Your vote counts!

We at the Adirondack Journal urge all our readers to vote, a cherished privilege that all U.S. citizens age 18 and older possess.

If you think your vote doesn’t count alongside the hundreds of others, remember the various races in the region that were decided by only a few votes, as well as the Gore-Bush race in 2000, in which the race was decided by less than 600 votes out of 110 million or so cast.

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 8, and the polls are open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., offering plenty of opportunity for working folks to vote. We have faith that you’ll make time in your day to exercise your civic duty.

Adirondack Journal Editorial

Viewpoint

Opportunity is knocking Exercise your right to vote our future depends on it I

W

e’ve all heard the mantra about how we should exercise our duty to vote.

It’s repeated often, particularly as fall descends and election signs start cropping up alongside area roadways.

Although this year ’s election focuses on candidates for county or community posts rather than high-profile state or national races, local government is where the citizenry can exert the greatest influence — and change in government most often occurs from the ground up.

But such clout exists only in the hands of those that turn out and cast their ballots.

County and town supervisors craft budgets, devise laws, and craft policy that sets the course of our government as well as the day-to-day delivery of public services — and determines the very nature of our communities in the future.

And this year, participation in this ultimate privilege of democracy is more important than ever.

Considering the pressing issues that face our area towns and counties, it is indeed vitally important for all eligible citizens to cast their vote and help set the course of our local governments.

Each municipality in the Adirondacks is struggling with budgetary problems — deciding how to balance soaring operational expenses despite slashed state aid. They are grappling with new expensive mandates and soaring employee health care and retirement costs in a time that the public is struggling financially.

In addition, the core areas of the Adirondacks have been losing population at an alarming rate — primari-

ly due to lack of private-sector job opportunities at salaries that can even approach metropolitan areas.

Our area families have become more and more dependent on income from public-sector jobs — which in turn hike local taxes, shackling economic growth.

And while the world has moved fast into an era when high-speed broadband interconnectivity is vital for prosperity, areas of the Adirondack region now have no such access.

Our communities and counties throughout the region need the most savvy, informed leaders at the helm — to collaborate on crafting sound public policy, influence state and federal officials to make needed changes, and make hard decisions on the quality and level of services government will be providing.

Hopefully you’ve studied the issues and evaluated the candidates — examining campaign flyers, attending the various Meet the Candidates events, and scrutinizing the politicians’ qualifications and abilities.

The more research, the better.

Because throughout the Adirondacks, we need leaders who cannot only devise clever sound bites or utter political jargon, but can help seek out new, innovative solutions to our pressing issues.

Cast a vote this Tuesday — an informed vote.

Our future depends on it.

This editorial is the collaborative opinion of a board comprised of Thom Randall, Fred Herbst, Lou Varricchio, Keith Lobdell, Jeremiah Papineau, Andy Flynn and John Gereau. Comments may be directed to denpubs@denpubs.com.

•100 Years Ago – Nov. 1911• Richards Library reopens Richards Library, with the new annex completed, was reopened to the public Oct. 21, 1911. A large number of adults and children visited the building during the afternoon and evening and the interest shown was very gratifying.

The reading room was not ready for use and this was regretted, but it was thought best not to defer the opening on that account.

(Note: The “new annex” was the room located behind the fireplace on the west side of today’s library. The “reading room” is today the children’s area on the south side of the building. Library aide Linda Lamy and I had a good time, while I was doing my research on this subject, visualizing the ladies — in their long dresses, whale bone corsets, and high buttoned shoes — that came in to visit

the library that day so long ago.)

Home from the hunt Charles F. Burhans and George E. Farrar of Warrensburgh and George Martin of Glens Falls spent three days at Bolton’s camp in Indian Lake and killed three fine deer. They are plump and very plentiful this fall and came out in the clearings and feed around the cattle. Hod Hill went to Griffin on his first hunting trip and came home with a 268-pound buck. Germain Mattison shot a fine one a little way from his home that weighed 285 pounds and was as fat as a beef critter. (Note: When I recently attended the opening of the new hunting, trapping and fishing exhibit at the Warrensburgh Museum of Local History, I viewed an early collection of photographs taken during the 1890’s which depicted a group of satisfied deer hunters that included Charles F. Burhans, heir to the Burhans Tannery fortune. He died Jan. 26, 1946.

Adirondack Journal - 7

Charles was the grandson of Benjamin Peck Burhans who came to Warrensburgh in March 1836 from Ulster County with his tanning business to start Warrensburgh down it’s path of becoming an industrial town.

The marvelous photographs are on loan from the Stewart Farrar family. The exhibit continues at the museum through Nov. 30.)

Italian laborers invade village Contractor Joseph H. Walker, in charge of his efficient Italian foreman “Big Tony” — an expert American bricklayer — and his gang of 40 men are making progress on work paving the main street of Warrensburgh with vitrified brick. They are using several of the latest improved machines for road-making.

If the weather remains good the job should be finished in ten days. Bricklaying was begun Oct. 21, 1911, just above B.F. Hammond’s drug store (now where Jack Tony’s Sunoco station is situated just north of the

town bandstand). All day Sunday, the work went merrily on, watched by a large group of interested citizens. On Oct. 26, 1911, the brick will be laid on School St. (now called Stewart Farrar Ave). Grading and paving will be done later this fall.

(Note: I grew up near Proctor, Vt., one of the largest marble producing areas in the world. Many of the citizens there were Italian immigrants and among them were master stone cutters with immense talent. The statues and gravestones in the Proctor cemetery are a testament to their fine work. These people were proud of their homes which they kept in pristine condition. The older immigrants, especially the women, seldom learned to speak English which kept them isolated from community life, but the younger generation grew to be solid Americans. Growing up, I had great respect for them. Dennis Martinez at the Glens Falls National Bank in Warrensburgh, grew up there also and has told me how proud he is of his hometown.)

Letters to the Editor McCoy has made smart decisions To the Adirondack Journal: If you care about Lake George, vote for Frank McCoy. He has lowered the taxes each year of his administration by reducing the work force and making smart decisions. He passed a ban on phosphorous fertilizer to control the algae in the lake.

He has increased the number of public meetings and the amount of information on the website to keep us more informed. The list goes on.

Dennis Dickinson is in it for the benefits only. He’s never even been to a board meeting. He has no idea what is going on with the Town and cares even less. Vote for Frank.

Rodney Cornelius Lake George

McCoy is loyal to G.O.P., doesn’t flip-flop To the Adirondack Journal: I urge Lake George citizens to please support Frank McCoy, Supervisor for the Town of Lake George.

Frank is a loyal Republican – has always been a Republican and will always remain a Republican.

Dennis Dickinson obviously is not a decisive person as he has switched his political party four times, flip-flopping back and forth between the Republican and Democratic parties.

We need a decisive, forward-thinking person running our town and that person is Frank McCoy. Please vote to re-elect Frank McCoy, Town Supervisor on Nov. 8.

Donald Fangboner Lake George

that and mean it, do you?

He may be a bit louder sometimes when asked a question, but it’s because he cares and is passionate about his job.

Please keep that in mind on Election Day! Michael Jones Lake George

Olson is a true public servant To the Adirondack Journal: On Nov. 8, the residents of Horicon will vote their choice for town supervisor. I urge all residents to vote for Bob Olson.

Our town needs a leader who will actively address the needs and concerns of the people in our community. Bob does this as a councilman and will continue that leadership quality as a supervisor.

Bob is a public servant in the truest sense. When meeting with constituents, Bob always listens to other ’s ideas with an open mind. He always treats others with respect.

Bob is an active participant with many of the committees working for our town. From the Zoning Board to Horicon Days, Bob works countless hours with others to make our town a better place to live. The success of Horicon Days is a testament to Bob’s positive vision for our town.

I moved to the town of Horicon n 1985. At that time, Horicon was vibrant, alive, and prosperous. Over the years, during some very hard times, these positive energies began disappearing. We need Bob’s leadership to bring them back to our community.

Please help me in electing Bob Olson supervisor for the Town of Horicon.

Let’s get off the merry-go-round!

Frank’s done a lot for our town To the Adirondack Journal: This is my first time writing to the newspaper, but I feel as though I must do so.

I am writing in regards to my friend, Frank McCoy, who has been beaten up so badly by certain people in the town of Lake George — at times in the newspaper — that I have to say something.

I can’t believe how some people can’t see the good things that this man has done in the last two years, not to mention savings on taxes, building up our surplus fund and the ban on phosphorous fertilizer, just to mention a few. His response to the Hurricane Irene nightmare was commendable —he was everywhere, helping everyone he could.

With the constant negativity that has been thrown at him, I asked if he should maybe just step aside and he told me that he can’t, he loves what he does!

I don’t know if you know too many people who can say

To the Adirondack Journal: In 1945, as the nation was about to emerge from the darkness of World War II, the musical “Carousel” opened on Broadway. The lyrics of one song from that musical related well to our national mood in those days. It read: “When you walk through a storm, keep your chin up high, and don’t be afraid of the dark, at the end of the storm is a golden sky…”

On Nov. 8, voters in the Town of Lake George will have an opportunity to move Lake George Town governance out of darkness and into a brighter tomorrow — by voting for the candidates supported by the Lake George Citizens Group: Dennis Dickinson for Town Supervisor and Marisa Muratori and Dan Hurley for Town Board. These three well-qualified candidates appear on the Lake George Citizens Group’s line “F”.

By this time, virtually every registered voter in the Town of Lake George has received a letter from the Citizens Group with an enclosure entitled “A Plan To Govern.”It outlines

very specifically what we expect from our Town government — expectations largely ignored by the three incumbents seeking re-election.

Beware! The three incumbent candidates represented a majority on the town board during the period the State Comptroller examined the Town’s financial condition and payroll. The Comptroller reported serious deficiencies in governance during this time. The bottom line is that we need a new team in place.

All three Citizens Group candidates support the overall concept of “A Plan To Govern” and deserve our vote. Vote for the candidates on line “F” – the bottom line.

Someday we might be able to jump on a real carousel at the wonderfully re-developed West Brook property, see a golden sky over our community and jump off the political merry-go-round we’ve been on.

Silvestri is hard working, fair and smart To the Adirondack Journal: It is very difficult to assess the qualifications of a candidate for the New York Supreme Court, particularly if the voter has had no professional contact with the candidates.I have known and worked with John Silvestri for over 25 years, and I have found him to be a hard working, honest, courteous, fair, and intelligent individual. In my opinion, he has all the qualities a voter would require of a New York State Supreme Court Judge.

H. Wayne Judge Glens Falls

Councilmen’s statements spark questions To the editor: Did I read your article about the Warrensburg Town Board candidates correctly?

Did Dean Ackley just realize he had health insurance coverage paid by the town? Did Austin Markey just realize that he could get his health insurance through his employer — a profit making company — instead of from the not-for-profit town?

And did Mr. Markey really just assist a smoking store to open in town? Isn't smoking outlawed almost all over and does it not cause a lot of illness like cancer and emphysema?

Just how does the Smoke N Save cigarette retailer help the town?

What about the grocery stores that are trying to get in town? Sounds like a better commercial project to me than a cigarette store.

Please let me know if I am wrong about these things. I hope I am.

‘Dinner with the Dead’ includes depiction of soldier’s demise

By Jean Hadden

denpubs@denpubs.com

WARRENSBURG — In the Oct. 22 installment of Turning Back the Pages column in the Adirondack Journal, references were made of the Russell family, including their servant, Carrie Doring, who labored at the Russell’s summer home, Bonnie Brae Villa, built after the Civil War. The day after the story was published, Warrensburg Historical Society’s “Dinner with the Dead” event was held at Grace’s Restaurant in Warrensburg, and a Russell family member was depicted.

James Corriveau of Warrensburg portrayed Marcus Russell, one of the four sons of Capt. John L. Russell and his wife, Mary L. Denison. Corriveau, an accomplished actor, captured the character of the dashing Marcus Russell in his splendid performance.

Russell, a sergeant in the U.S. Cavalry, died a hero’s death June 24, 1893 at the age of 32 at Las Guasimas, Cuba when he became the second soldier killed in the SpanishAmerican War with Teddy Roosevelt’s Rough Riders.

Fifty horses died on the boat going over and six drowned getting off in Cuba and

charging up San Juan Hill, Teddy was the only one that was mounted. The first soldier to fall in battle was Sgt. Hamilton Fish, grandson of President U.S. Grant’s secretary of war and one of several young aristocrats who had joined the Rough Riders.

Corriveau appeared at the dinner with blue chalk smeared on his face to resemble death and wearing little else but a quilt, as after the Spanish killed Marcus Russell they took away his clothes.

Barry Woodward, Warrensburgh’s celebrated mortician, traveled to Cuba to bring Marcus’ badly decayed body back to his grieving parents and to be buried in the family plot in the Warrensburgh Cemetery. The train arrived in Thurman and a long line of mourners followed the coffin back to town.

The children were let out of school for the occasion. It was probably one of the biggest funerals the Queen Village has ever seen.

Take out the line, “Marcus Russell also has one of the largest and most impressive marble obelisk memorials.”

Marcus Russell is buried in the family plot beneath his family’s towering black granite monument located in the back of the old east side of the cemetery. His epitaph reads, “Loving generous and brave with out fear

Participating in the recent Dinner with the Dead event held at Grace’s Restaurant were (left to right) Maggie Bammert as Ella Haskell; Tom O’Dea as Capt. Myron Dickinson; Debbie Toolan as Margaret Emerson; Dennis Martinez as Michael O'Connor; and Jim Corriveau as Marcus Russell. Attendees said the cast studied their roles well and presented their characters with flair and historical accuracy.

and without reproach.” The family’s faithful servant, Carrie Doring, lies near the boy she probably helped raise to manhood.

The Dinner with the Dead was truly a terrific evening, sadly marking the very last evening that Grace’s Pub would be open to the public before closing to the public.

The four other actors that evening also put on a marvelous acting performance, taking up the lives of the former Warrensburgh cit-

izens that they portrayed. Tom O’Dea played Captain Myron Dickinson, Debbie Toolan played Margaret Emerson, Maggie Bammert played Ella Haskell, and Dennis Martinez played Michael O’Connor. Rita Ferraro and Rosemary Maher wrote up the research, and Paul Gilchrist was master of ceremonies.

Looking back at yesteryear, we cannot help but wonder who, 100 years or so from now, might some day be looking back at us.

Voters, it’s unlikely you’re aware that If the resolution is not changed that governs health coverage for town board members, the two incumbent candidates will get health insurance benefits for life when they retire.

This little-known rip-off would cost taxpayers more than $200,000 over 6 years and $1 million in less than 20 years.

Want to avoid that disaster? Your best bet is to vote for the two challengers, both of whom oppose health benefits for board members (and will not accept health coverage while on the board, saving taxpayers another $24,000 a year). If they’re elected, the board will have the votes to repeal the resolution and stop the retirement boondoggle before it gets started.

If they’re not elected, the board will not have the votes to rescind the resolution and it will remain in effect indefinitely. <Paid for by Friends of the Challengers>

Swan and O’Keefe vie for treasurer post

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com

QUEENSBURY — With the retirement of Warren County Treasurer Frank O’Keefe as of Dec. 31, the position of top financial officer of the county is up for grabs.

When O’Keefe announced his retirement several months ago, he threw his support behind his son, Michael O’Keefe, for the post. Both O’Keefes are Democrats.

Not long afterwards, Republican Michael Swan, now county Director of Real Property Tax Services, announced that he, too, was seeking the post.

O’Keefe said this week that his work experience, including his current position as a Business teacher at Fort Edward High School qualifies him to take over the Treasurer ’s post.

Swan has said that his work overseeing the Real Property tax functions of the county, representing over $8 billion in valuation, is a more appropriate background for the work as Treasurer.

Swan pledged that if elected, he’d update the Treasurer's office website, and provide more comprehensive information directly to the public, as he has done in his current department. He also promised to provide the most thorough, in-depth reports to county leaders that they’ve ever had.

He also said he’d support establish a property tax payment plan for county taxpayers, allowing those who are financially stressed to pay up.

In a recent debate, O’Keefe questioned such a move, saying it might allow more taxes to slip into uncollectible status — an opinion that Swan disputes.

Swan also said he’d make tax payments easy for citizens, accepting credit, debit and electronic payments.

Both candidates say they’d streamline the Treasurer ’s office operations. Swan said he’s the candidate who can actually accomplish such a feat — he cites cutting $33,000 of expenses from the Real Property office.

“Government needs to be leaner, more productive and more responsive to the needs of the people,” Swan said.

O’Keefe said the top issue in the campaign was keeping the Treasurer ’s office independent, offering a balance to the predominantly Republican county Board of Supervisors.

“The next county Treasurer must be an individual who un-

Michael O’Keefe

derstands the need to maintain the current strong county Treasurer system,” he said.

Swan said the top issues of the campaign was for voters to realize they were voting for Frank O’Keefe’s son, and not O’Keefe himself, who has served 12 years in the post. Swan noted that his opponent’s campaign signs didn’t mention his first name nor his party affiliation.

Both Swan and O’Keefe said they’d operate the Treasurer ’s office in the most efficient and professional manner, adhere to all applicable accounting standards and laws, as well as keep county well informed of financial concerns.

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — The local group that’s been demanding openness from town government — and recently promoting a slate of its own candidates — is now wrangling with the county Board of Elections about whether the group has to reveal its finances.

Warren County Elections commissioners Mary Beth Casey and Bill Montfort said that according to evidence they’ve seen, the Lake George Citizens group has been actively promoting a slate of candidates for town of Lake George offices, and it needs to file full financial disclosure forms detailing all of its expenses.

The Citizens Group has been backing Dennis Dickinson for town Supervisor and Marisa Muratori and Dan Hurley for town board seats. Letters to taxpayers, plus campaign signs and other materials have cited the group’s name in promoting the three.

They’ve also openly promoted a Meet the Candidates event for their slate.

Casey said such activities qualify them as an “authorized” political committee that must file full financial disclosure forms.

Citizens’ Group co-founder Joanne Gavin said she had reviewed her group’s status with state Board of Elections officials last week, and her impression was the group didn’t need to file full reports of funding.

But Casey said she talked to the state

she had a trunk full of costumes in the basement that were ready for “recycling” with a new generation.

“It’s great to see the townspeople come together like this, all with smiles on their faces,” Belden added.

The march included all kinds of creatures whether they were insects, aliens, or spooks. Youngsters were also posing as such items as a McDonald’s Happy Meal, a pouch of Capri Sun, and a bar of Dial soap. John Kelly, 11, as a can of “Monster” energy drink, marched down Main, accompanied by his friend Jacob Johnson, who sported dangling green arms and insect eyes.

Other creatures were more earth-bound. Josh Hall, dressed as an Adirondacker, carried his one-year old Jake, decked out in leaves as a tree. They bore a

Board’s top attorneys Monday, and they said the group did need to fully disclose its finances, considering the apparent expenditures for mass mailings, printing and signs.

Gavin said Monday the group was informal, had no bank account, had accepted inkind donations, and candidates were paying out-of-pocket for the various expenses.

But Casey said such joint participation in funding between the group and the candidates needs to be fully revealed. She said that authorized political committees should have filed financial disclosure forms in August, September and October.

While some area residents have speculated that a powerful political figure with a hidden agenda is behind the Citizens Group, Gavin has maintained the organization is a grassroots group committed to reform and openness.

G.O.P. town board candidate Caryl Clark criticized the group, which has fought for transparency, for avoiding making their finances public.

“With their political expertise, they should have known better than try to operate under the radar of the state election law,” she said. “In their situation, hypocrisy reigns.”

Gavin responded that if her group does file the full financial forms, they are likely to merely show minor expenditures, with no surprises.

“We’ve always told the truth, and there’s no reason not to now,” she said.

sign that read “Tree Hugger.”

The parade through town was backed up by a fire truck blaring “Monster Mash,” “Ghostbusters,” and other Halloween-themed music through its public address system.

People of all ages were involved in the parade.

Grownups posed as witches and ghouls. Maggie Bammert was dressed in Victorian garb, as she had appeared days earlier in the local historical society’s Dinner with the Dead event.

Generations enjoyed the march together.

One trio parading included Helen Lawler, 78 — garbed in purple hair and a Mardi Gras Mask, her daughter Jeanine Lawler as a witch with rotten teeth and crooked nose, and granddaughter Taylor, 6, posing as Olivia the Pig. Humans weren’t alone in enjoying the fun. Teenagers Sarah Leguire and friend

Stuart Ketchum marched Leguire’s two dogs in the parade: “Happy” the Husky, garbed as a peace-loving hippie, was accompanied by an Italian Greyhound decked out in orange and black.

Fire Co. President Kevin Geraghty said that the costumes were as creative as ever. “We’re pleased as always that so many people came out for the parade,” he said as he handed out one of 60 trophies at the concluding party held at Warrensburg Elementary School.

Award-winners included youngsters Brent, Bailey and Benjamin Ackley dressed up as buccaneers in a wagon disguised as a pirate ship.

Miles and Maris Martin posed as lion trainer and lion, respectively, towed in a wagon transformed into a circus cage, towed by parents Caleb and Brianne Martin of Thurman.

Dear Friends, My husband Cliff Gates and I make Warrensburg our home because of the quality of life we find here, and the core values of the really genuine people who live here.

I am running for Town Council in Warrensburg because I am concerned for our future. We need leaders that we can trust to make the hard decisions such as the elimination of free health care benefits to part-time officials. (I will not be taking that benefit leaving more money for other needed programs and our employees.) We need to expand our tax base in order to hold the line on taxes. We need the same rules for everyone.

We need less government, not more. We need better communication to let our residents know what is going on and why, and to encourage them to be part of the process.

If you want a creative problem solver with strong character and whose word is her bond, I would appreciate your vote. A town is defined by the people who call it home and the public servants who represent them. Thanks for your vote of confidence.

Young students welcome famed children’s author LAKE GEORGE — Margie Palatini, the acclaimed author of whimsical children’s books, charmed Lake George Elementary students during her visit to the school on Oct. 24, school officials said.

In preparation for her arrival, students from all grades came together and worked collaboratively to design projects around Palatini’s popular books.

Lake George Elementary Art teacher Allison Darbee worked with students of various grades to create artwork relating to Palatini's books. Students made clay sculptures of her wellknown character “Oliver,” while other grades created depictions of “Moosestache.”

In Physical Education, instructor Heather Usher read the author ’s unique version of the “Farmer in the Dell” and taught children in the lower grades how to play the timeless group singing game of that title.

Also in anticipation of the author ’s visit, school librar-

Area Baseball fans set banquet GLENS FALLS — The Glens Falls Area Baseball Society & Hall of Fame will be holding its annual banquet on Saturday, Nov. 12, 2011, at the Queensbury Hotel. The banquet

Sarah Barton said. ”Margie Palatini was very impressed and loved the idea of putting music to her stories,” Barton said.

When Palatini visited, she met with every grade level, giving customized presentations for each set of students.

The author discussed everything from how she

comes up with her ideas to how a book is written, edited and produced.

“The students learned a great deal about creating good characters and the process of writing, but the thing that most students took away from her presentations was the experience of being read to by the author,” Barton said, noting that students were enthusiastic about her visit.

As an example, Barton said that Intermediate II student Jon Marchello remarked to Palatini, “You do voices so well, you should make cartoon movies.”

One of the highlights of the author ’s visit was a lunchtime session with Margie Palatini. The author ate lunch with 10 students, during which she shared some of the books she is working on, discussed details about her writing, and took part in question and answer conversation with the students.

The students had created a special menu for Palatini based on different themes

will begin at 5 p.m. with a cash bar and silent auction, followed by dinner at 6 p.m. Tickets for the event are $35 each or $250 for a table of eight.

This year ’s event will feature a tribute to former Minor League professional baseball players native to the region.

Former minor leaguers, local dignitaries and previous Hall of Fame inductees have been invited to attend. Former Glens Falls Mayor Ed Bartholomew will serve as the emcee for the evening.

In preparation for the banquet, Society officials are seeking to borrow documents, photographs or memorabilia related to local professional baseball players to display at the event. Those who have items to loan, contact Phil Tucker at 932-9676.

Public to L.G. school: Boost communication

LAKE GEORGE — Local school officials asked for public input during their “Community Conversation” forum, and the community provided some valuable suggestions, a school-based committee reported this week after reviewing the thousands of comments aired at the Oct. 18 event.

The majority of comments, made by the 168 who attended the event and the 21 who completed an online survey, spoke most frequently about the need for more open communication.

In response, the Lake George Central School Board of Education’s Community Relations Committee and the schools’ administrators have planned follow-up “Meet and Greet” events. These informal events are intended to give the public opportunities to ask questions and for the board and administration to explain their positions, procedures, and policies.

The first of these meetings is planned for Tuesday, Nov. 29. Details will be published as soon as they have been determined. The meetings will center on a variety of topics, including the board’s role, the new tax cap, and changes in the curriculum.

Besides boosting communication, those attending the Community Conversation said they were most concerned about the budget, taxes, and the approachability of the Board of Education and the administration. The district expects to address these issues at the upcoming meetings.

The committee has also recommended that participants receive updates on events, changes, and policies at the school via e-mail, newsletters and postings on the website.

“The Community Conversation gave us a clear picture as to what the community needs and expects from its school,” Superintendent Patrick Dee said.

The full results of the community conversation have been sent to all the participants. They have also been posted on the website.

In addition, the district would like to encourage the public to contact the Board of Education or administration with questions or concerns.

A total of seven teams will be participating, with three to five adult players on each squad. The participants are likely to be dressed in various humor-

ous themes, reflecting the spirit of what is expected to be a fun-filled afternoon.

The costumes undoubtedly will be shown off during the event’s opening grand parade at 1 p.m.

Admission is free, but donations will be gratefully accepted. All proceeds benefit the Bolton Free Library, which serves as the heart of our community, organizers said.

Spelling Bee Master of Ceremonies Jeffrey Strief, owner of Happy Jacks, is back for the 2011 edition, lending his wit to enhance the occasion. Also participating will be "Dame Edna," portrayed with flair

by Bolton resident Sally Defty. For a $5 donation, Dame Edna will spell any word that the teams are unable to handle.

This $5 can be paid by the teams or audience members. There will be official Time Keepers and "Judges."

Thoughts on 11/11/11 With its numerical coincidence, this Friday’s date is likely to draw a lot of attention. While Nov. 11 has been for many years the day to honor our veterans, the terrorist attacks occurred on the same date in September.

Most notably, Friday brings us the eleventh year, the eleventh month and the eleventh day.

Burghers conclude 2011 with convincing victory

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com GRANVILLE — Warrensburg’s powerhouse running attack, newborn confidence and will to win racked up a season-concluding victory Saturday, Oct. 29 against Granville, a larger Class C school.

“We were confident we could win, and we played well,” coach Mike Leonbruno said after the solid 52-36 win over the Golden Horde.

The Burghers’ strategic double wing offense, which jams a wedge of players surrounding a running back through the opponents’ line, was again productive — as it has been in recent weeks.

With no less than seven touchdowns Saturday, the Burghers moved even higher in the regional rankings for offense.

In an unofficial survey, the Burghers are third in Section II for yardage gained in rushing in the 2011 season.

Leading the charge against Granville was Lucas Nelson with 163 yards and four touchdowns, followed by Kalvin Duell with 139 yards on 11 runs, and quarterback Malachai Prosser with 75 ground yards on seven carries. Major contributions to the win included a reception by Hunter Werner for a 46yard touchdown, a 46-yard touchdown run

by Prosser, and a 19-yard touchdown by Andrew Fish.

With this final game in the win column,

Nelson tallied more than 1,200 yards for the season, and earned a spot in local gridiron history.

The Burghers’ achievements for 2011 don’t stop there. They’ve made the most remarkable football season comeback in recent history.

Instead of collapsing after starting out 2011 with four losses, the Burghers fought back with an impressive 4-1 conclusion.

The affable Burgher coach said he was impressed with the team’s character to rebound as it had during 2011.

“If we were in the playoffs right now, we’d be going pretty far,” he said. “We knew we were a good team from the beginning, but we had to gain confidence, and get our game going.”

Saturday, Oct. 29, there was no question the Burghers had it together. They had eight different running backs, racking up more than 400 rushing yards.

They scored on all drives but two, which ended with fumbles.

The beefy offensive line did their work opening up holes for the runners to have solid gains almost every play.

Leonbruno praised the Burgher seniors, who concluded a memorable season that shows considerable promise for next year.

Leonbruno said that in 2012, he’ll miss seniors Lucas Nelson, Kalvin Duell, Jeremy Barber, Hunter Werner, Charlie Giknis, Gabe MicGlire, Andrew Fish, Jon Vaisey and

Connor Scott takes the ball downfield to start a Burgher drive during Warrensburg’s 48-35 victory Oct. 22 over Bishop Gibbons. This win, followed by their Oct. 29 defeat of Granville, testifies to why the Burghers are now ranked third in Section II, spanning all classes, in rushing yardage for 2011. Their aggressive ground offense relies on a double wing offense, in which players merge into a wedge formation and crash through the defensive line.

“They’re a great bunch of guys,” he said.

“But next year we’ll also have a very good team — we have players that should be ready to step up and take the seniors’ places.”

Leonbruno said he’s happy the team now has confidence they can persevere and win — a new attitude he’s seen during his fouryear coaching tenure.

“I know we can build on this new attitude, and turn things around,” he said.

Youth team headed to Superbowl showdown “These young men and women knew what they wanted to do Saturday and with dedication and hard work they did it,” coach Gary Baker said, noting it was a whole-team effort, all season long, that propelled them to unprecedented achievement.

“We have almost 30 kids on this team and they are all responsible for our success,” he said. “For 13 weeks, we have worked in sun, rain, snow, wind and freezing temperatures.

To come to this last game, we have had no one quit from our opening day which reflects true commitment, not only the kids but the parents and the coaching staff.”

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Capturing a convincing 38-12 victory Saturday, Oct. 29 over the talented Corinth Squad, the 5th and 6th grade Warrensburg Youth Football team earned a trip to the league’s Superbowl.

Four battle for Warrensburg town board seats WARRENSBURG — There’s a four-way race for town council, featuring incumbents Austin Markey and Dean Ackley facing newcomers Linda Baker Marcella and Joyce Reed. The latter two out-tallied Markey and Ackley in the September G.O.P. primaries, winning the party’s endorsement.

Markey and Ackley cite their commitment to lowering taxes, while the challengers also cite that as a top priority. Marcella has served on the Warrensburg Central school board, and successfully influenced the board to lower its tax levy.

As for qualifications to conduct town business, Markey cites his knowledge gained on formulating town budgets over

the past 15 years on the town board, while Ackley and Marcella cite theirs as business owners, and Reed notes hers as a banking teller supervisor for 16 years and a worker in financial services for 25. For years, Markey has served as sales manager for Warren Ford. Marcella has owned and operated her own real estate agency and worked as a licensed stockbroker. Ackley notes his 16 years of service as a town board member and several years as Deputy Supervisor.

Markey and Marcella pledge to continue working to boost local economic development and expanding the tax base to help keep taxes down.

Reed and Marcella have challenged

Markey and Ackley on the issue of health insurance granted to the current board members. At this point, such health insurance is granted to board members for life, if they serve in office 10 years. A recent vote was taken on a budget that called for board members to contribute 20 percent towards their insurance, and Markey and Ackley voted “No” on the financial plan. Reed and Marcella say they’d like to reduce such health care expenses drastically to decrease the burden on the taxpayer.

Markey said that if he’s re-elected, he’d work on a new water well to provide higher quality water in town and advocate another re-assessment of properties that would more

closely reflect current market conditions and continue to speak out for hard-pressed taxpayers.

Marcella said that more public participation in the governing process is needed, and public apathy is a concern. Marcella said she would work to foster better communication and greater public participation as well as work for lower taxes. Ackley said he’d continue to work with the town board and community.

Reed said she’d work for equitable water and sewer taxes, provide diversity to a board by her gender, and give a voice to workingclass taxpayers.

In Lake George, the town races have been heated LAKE GEORGE — Town politics in Lake George have been eventful this year, and it’s reached a fever pitch.

Town Supervisor Frank McCoy is challenged by Dennis Dickinson, a surveyor, engineer and business owner, as well as Democratic candidate Jan Strachan. Before McCoy’s twoyears as supervisor, he served as town councilman for eight years, plus on the town planning and zoning boards.

Dickinson, who served as town supervisor from 1979 through 1983, says his experience in running his surveying/engineering firm provided knowledge and skills to run the town. Dickinson switched his party affiliation this year from Democrat to Republican, but he’s primarily a candidate of the Lake George Citizens’ Group, whose financial disclosure with state and county authorities has come into question this week.

McCoy said his 21 years of active, committed involvement in town government will serve him well leading the Lake George community — all the citizens, and not just a special interest group — into the future.

McCoy, Dickinson and Strachan all say they will work hard and smart to enhance government efficiency and lower taxes. McCoy has lowered town taxes more than 5 percent total in the last two budgets he’s formulated.

Dickinson, McCoy and Strachan said preservation of lake quality and the local environment are top priorities. McCoy cites his accomplishment of enacting a phosphorus ban in the lake’s watershed. Dickinson said that if elected, he’s seek to boost the economy while reducing fees and surcharges.

He’s also criticized McCoy for exiting the West Brook Park project, and has said he wants to rejoin the village and county in sponsoring it. McCoy said that withdrawing from the project has saved the town taxpayers more than $200,000 — and rejoining it would be a costly mistake.

McCoy said he’s worked to promote tourism — like helping bring the Centurian bicycle race to town and assisted in keeping Americade in town. Also, McCoy notes he’s boosted efforts to eradicate the Asian clam infestation by commit-

ting occupancy tax funds towards a cleanup. Dickinson has said that such a use of occupancy tax is wrong — but McCoy has responded that the area visitors should pay for the cleanup through the bed tax, not the local taxpayers.

Jan Strachan, owner of the Adirondack Sunrise Motel, said her business experience would be valuable in helping make decisions on the town board.

She said Lake George leaders have to be active in recruiting new events and boosting the town as a four-season destination. The local leaders also should be bringing new industry to town.

Strachan has been active in county and town meetings, keeping involved with various issues on behalf of both town residents and business owners.

Five-way race for town board For the Lake George town board, there’s a four-way race.

Board members Caryl Clark and Scott Wood are challenged

by Marisa Muratori, Dan Hurley and Janie Green. Clark and Wood are Republicans. Green is a Democrat. Hurley and Muratori are candidates of the local Citizen’s Group.

Caryl Clark has served as the local town clerk and the Warren County Clerk for a total of 36 years, followed up by four years on the town board. She’s served as president of several leading state organizations.

Scott Wood has served for years on the town board as well as 21 years on the town Planning Board — plus for 26 years, as a board member on the Lake George Chamber of Commerce. For the latter two, he has served as president. He is owner of the Lobster Pot Restaurant. Wood cites his advocacy to boost town stormwater management facilities, as well as efforts to boost tourism.

Marisa Muratori served as Lake George Village Trustee from 2002 to 2009, and on the village Planning Board from 1997 to 2002. She notes her efforts on developing the Lake Avenue Park and the Lake George Visitors’ Center and work on the local Go-Green Committee. In a previous election,

Winslow ready to be Warrensburg town judge

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Beginning in January, people breaking the law in town will be facing a new judge.

Warrensburg Town Justice Richard Nissen is retiring after a quarter-century of service, and local resident Bryan Winslow is likely to take his place.

Winslow is unopposed for the judgeship in the November election.

Although serving as a local judge will be a new role for Winslow, the

realm of law enforcement is familiar.

For 36 years, Winslow served as a uniformed Court Officer for Warren County. In that role, Winslow said this week, he learned a lot about the court system. In his employment, he not only attended to court security, but he handled prisoners and processed paperwork.

Through the decades as court officer, Winslow observed the disposition of thousands of individual cases, which he said gives him experience in how to approach his work as a justice.

He said his familiarity with the

county District Attorney and the county court personnel would be helpful as he assumes his new duties.

“I’m familiar with the processes of the judicial system,” he said. “But I’ll still be undergoing a learning curve.”

Winslow and his wife Donne-Lynn live on Ashe Drive, in their residence of 30 years. Winslow said that in his upcoming role, he’d be dedicated to maintaining public safety.

“I’m going to be fair and consistent,” he said. “People in my court are going to be held responsible for their actions.”

Three face off for Chester’s town clerk post CHESTERTOWN — The retirement of Town Clerk Bernice Roberts has prompted a three-way race for her post in the 2011 general election.

Barbara LaFlure, Pat Smith and Samantha Hitchcock are competing for the position. Smith is the Republican and Conservative candidate, LaFlure is independent, and Hitchcock is running under both the Independence and Democrat party labels. All three cite ability to manage detailed records, a keen eye for detail, and commitment to public service.

Barbara LaFlure has roots in Brant Lake and Pottersville, and now lives in Chestertown. She has served in various posts, including a seat on the North Warren School board for 12 years serving some of those years as board president and vice president. She has been employed by Bay Street Abstract for 21 years as an abstractor. LaFlure said she’d like to extend the town clerk’s office hours to include mornings one Saturday a month.

Town of Chester 20-year resident Patricia “Pat” Smith has been employed by the town of Chester since 1998. Her duties with the town include years of work as clerk of the Planning & Zoning office, deputy zoning administrator, secretary to both the town Planning Board and the Zoning Board of Appeals, and as deputy court clerk. Also, she has served as deputy town clerk for almost 10 years. Additionally, she serves on the Board of Assessment Review and has been the panel’s chair for two years.

Samantha Hitchcock has deep family roots in the region, and is a pharmacy technician at Rite Aid. Her supporters note that she has excellent people skills and keeps her computer abilities updated with training sessions. Also, she is trained in bookkeeping and records management. She said that if elected, she will make the Town Clerk office hours more convenient to the public, including staying open Thursday evenings and one Saturday a month.

Bolton to see new faces on town board BOLTON LANDING — After Bolton Supervisor Ron Conover defeated former Supervisor Alexander Gabriels in a Primary election challenge, Conover is alone on the ballot to lead the town for another two-year term. Running for two seats on the Town Board are incumbent Robert MacEwan and newcomer Susan C. Wilson. Vying for the separate seat of Greg Smith, who has resigned, are two candidates: Cheryl M. Bolton (Republican) and Anton F. Cooper (Conservative).

Three seek Stony Creek post STONY CREEK — In the town of Stony creek, three candidates in 2011 are seeking the two open positions as town board member: Running are Doreen C. Ryan, Nathan J. Thomas both Republicans, and Stanley E. Ross, incumbent, representing the Conservative party. John K. Fieldstadt was defeated in the September G.O.P. primary.

Muratori carried a Democratic endorsement.

Janie Green is the present chair of the Lake George Zoning Board of Appeals. Also, she’s served as a member of the town Planning Board and in various posts in the community — experience she said will be useful if she’s elected. She identified her top priority as installing new sewer lines, and assuring pure drinking water. Boosting business activity and tourism in town is vital, she said, because job opportunities need to be expanded for locals, and more commerce means lower taxes for residents.

Dan Hurley, a 50-year Democrat and Army veteran, said his deep experience as an electrical contractor will be useful as the town board tackles infrastructure development, and his business experience will help him effectively run the town. Hurley said that among his top priorities was maintaining keen oversight of town finances.

Hurley said he is committed to open government and listening to residents’ input.

All the candidates cite protection of lake water quality and the area environment as a top priorities, along with keeping taxes low.

Muratori said she is running for office to rectify instability in town finances, correct out-of-date planning policy and inefficient code enforcement, while speeding up governmental work on chronic issues including infrastructure improvements.

Wood and Green said key issues were continuing to improve public infrastructure including sewer, water and sidewalks; Wood added that ramping up efforts on stormwater management was vital, as well as boosting tourism to bolster the area economy and offset the tax burden with sales tax revenue. Clark said controlling the town’s expenses in light of the 2 percent tax cap was crucial.

Clark and Wood said that if re-elected, they’d work to keep taxes low and preserve the environment. Clark said she’d take steps to provide an adequate headquarters for the local emergency squad.

Muratori said that if elected, she’d work to sharpen the town’s vision, work to provide greater lake access for residents, promote citizen involvement in community projects, and boost transparency in government. On this last issue, Clark said she and others on the board have already taken substantial strides in that regard.

Horicon: Olson vs. Bentley

BRANT LAKE — The contest for the top position in Horicon is a return engagement between incumbent Supervisor Ralph Bentley and area contractor Robert Olson.

Bentley has served 14 years as town Supervisor, 12 years as Town Board member and two on the Zoning Board of Appeals. Olson has served on the Town Board for 10 years, plus service as member and chairman of the town Planning Board, plus work on the Zoning & Planning Review Committee and Comprehensive Master Plan Committee, and service on local and state Builders’ associations.

Bentley is running on his administration’s accomplishments, record of municipal fiscal strength and the town’s low taxes.

Citing a lack of local economic vitality in town, Olson is seeking to provide new, effective leadership to boost the town in its renewal and economic progress, he said.

Olson identified as top priorities establishing a "user friendly" approach in administering land-use regulations, reversing losses of viable local businesses by encouraging small enterprises to establish in town. He said that if elected, he’d bring the necessary leadership skills, enthusiasm, and ability to motivate community spirit to make it happen.

Bentley countered, however, that during his tenure, the town built and paid for a new community center and library.

Other infrastructure built recently with only a modest debt remaining are the new highway garage and the Starbuckville Dam. As for economic development, Bentley said he obtained a $475,000 grant to replace the local general store which had burned down — and the offer was turned down by the property owner — and he’s now working on a similar deal to build a store at the former Albert’s Swap Shop site.

Bentley cites honesty, integrity and ethics as top priorities, as well as continuing to keeping taxes lower than in most all municipalities in the area — while providing essential services and intelligent growth.

He said he’s committed to combatting milfoil in Schroon Lake and Brant Lake, working with volunteers on grants for the Adirondack Church restoration, expanding broadband access and improving the town’s highway system.

For Town Board, three candidates — incumbents Kenneth Higgins and Joseph B. Dooris plus challenger Matthew Simpson, a drywall contractor and member of the town Planning Board, are seeking two open seats.

WCS seeks public opinion at forum

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com

WARRENSBURG — As the Warrensburg Board of Education heads into months of budget formulation, they have planned a community forum to hear the public’s views on the school’s future direction.

The public forum, set for 6 p.m. Nov. 28 in the high school cafetorium, will be moderated by the regional BOCES staff.

With the purpose of prompting frank, open discussion on prioritizing programs and spending, the event will be conducted in a roundtable format, school Superintendent Tim Lawson said. For all but the conclusion of the session, school officials will not be present, he said.

“We’ll be welcoming new thoughts and ideas,” he said. “The school board and administration have a great desire for the forum to provide open communication and transparency with regard to future decisions they will be making.”

Lawson said the initial “talking points” of the forum’s discussions will focus on the opinions expressed in the recent survey of school district residents, conducted by school administration.

More than 500 questionnaires were returned in recent weeks — of the 2,500 survey forms sent to area households, he said.

“We had a really good response rate,” he said.

Those planning to attend the community forum are urged to contact the school, so the school administration can gauge the approximate size of the forum and make appropriate accommodations, Lawson said.

“We’re hoping that it’s a productive evening,” he said. socializing,Thursdays at Pizza Jerks, 59 Iroquois St. STONY CREEK — Monthly meeting, Stony Creek Library Board of Trustees, 7 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month, at the library.
