WARRENSBURG — Heather Jones smiled as she glanced at a group of teenagers at St. Cecilia’s Catholic Church making plans for their thir d annual mission trip to distant cities to help upgrade homes of families in need.

“Our parents say that after their kids came back from their mission trips, there were no more complaints about their chor es,” she said.

Krista Gee, par ent of one of the teen volunteers, agreed.

“When they came back, the kids wer e humble,” she said, noting her daughter asked her not to buy her Christmas pre sents, but to instead donate the money to those in need. “On the missions, they saw how bad others have it.”

For two years, a dozen or so teens from St. Cecilia’s have traveled on annual missions to help elderly and underprivileged homeowners spruce up their homes.

In summer 2009 and 2010, they cleaned up, painted, and winterized homes, as well as performing light r epairs and upgrading landscaping. In some cases, cleaning up meant extensive work in hauling refuse out of homes and or ganizing stuf f to make a home livable, Gee said.

“Several homes they worked on wer e nearly to the point of being condemned,” she said.

This coming summer , 16 teenagers and four adult chaperones will be traveling to an urban destination in New Jersey . The prior two years, the missions took youth to North Carolina and Pennsylvania.

Crown Point residents: I It’s time to mend fences I

n a Nov. 5 editorial we urged people to get out and vote, saying change in government only occurs when people mobilize over a cause and vote with the majority.

Holding an elected position is not an inalienable right, and anyone who decides to run for office must keep in mind they are at the mercy of the will of the people. Go against that, and you’re subject to be removed from the job.

Nowhere was that more evident this election year than in Crown Point, where voters sent a clear message that they didn’t like the way the board went about eliminating its board of assessors in favor of a sole, appointed assessor.

The town board voted in favor of the move in July, in front of a room packed with emotionally charged residents, many of whom pleaded for a town-wide vote on the subject. Instead, Supervisor Bethany Kosmider joined with trustees Yvonne DuShane and Bob Patnode and adopted the move by a 3-2 vote. Trustees Charles Mazurowski and Tom Walters opposed it.

Under state law, the vote is irreversible.

After the vote, Crown Point assessor Stephen Mackay, shouted “They are going down,” referring to Kosmider, Patnode and DuShane. Soon after, Carl Ross, chairman of the board of assessors, said, “These people are not going to be re-elected.”

And, on Election Day, that’s precisely what happened to incumbents Kosmider and Dushane, who were each soundly defeated. Patnode’s term wasn’t up this election cycle, thus his fate rests in the next go-round.

Obviously feeling empowered and wanting change, Crown Point voters turned out in droves, casting 824 ballots from a total 1,305 registered voters — one of the highest turn outs in the county.

When the dust settled, the people had spoken — supporters of the assessors hit the polls and swayed the vote. Republican Charles Harrington will be sworn in as the

next Crown Point supervisor Jan. 1 and Tara Peters will take her seat on the board alongside Mazurowski, Walters and Patnode.

And, while it is too late to reverse the assessor vote, it appears the group will hold a voting majority on the board.

Now it is time to move on — because the town needs it.

From verbal to physical assaults to spreading rumors to reports of running one another off the road and even gunfire, this issue has divided the otherwise tranquil lakeside community in a near Hatfield vs. Mccoy feud.

But this isn’t West Virginia, and the year isn’t 1878.

This squabble has disrupted town business, it has pitted friends and neighbors against one another. It has wasted town and personal resources that could have been better spent on making the community stronger.

Further, it has put the town — with all it has to offer — in a negative light to tourists, passersby and those who also might someday call Crown Point home.

That furthers the agenda of no one.

In a letter to this newspaper, Crown Point resident Kathy Caswell probably said it best when she said the taunts and signs degrade all Crown Point residents and “make us look ignorant to those who are passing through.”

Caswell urged her fellow Crown Pointers to follow the lead set by the sign at The Frenchman’s Restaurant which reads “Treat our neighbors with respect.”

The people have spoken, the electoral process has worked. Now it is time to again treat one another with respect.

Two youths, Arthur Benway and Claude Copeland, ar e char ged with grand lar ceny for allegedly stealing two bicycles in Glens Falls and riding them to Schenectady where they tried to sell them.

Lewis Vandenburg is accused of having sold liquor at Glen Lake without a license.

Charles Bull of Lake George is charged with burglary in the second degr ee with having broken into the Selleck store at Lake George.

William Landers of North River is charg ed with forgery, third degree for allegedly passing a check for $9 to which the name of James Shannahan of W arrensburgh had been signed. Joseph Frasier of Graphite is char ged with robbery, third degree for having robbed Lewis Deno, an aged Hague resident of $2.

Floyd Johnson of Johnsbur gh is char ged with second-degree robbery for having taken $90 and a gold watch fro m Lewis Robbins of North River . W illiam Leonar d of Glens Falls was indicted by the Grand Jury last spring on a charge of selling liquor on Sunday and the case was held over.

Arthur Gilman and Edwar d Sherman ar e charged with second-degree assault on Harry Heiler who was badly cut up in a fight in front of Ed Lashaway’s saloon on Upper West St., Glens Falls. Sherman is char ged with striking Heiler with a bottle while Gilman was fighting with him.

Timothy Hill charged with murder

The Grand Jury of Essex County Supreme Court in Elizabethtown indicted T imothy Hill of Minerva for murd er in the first degre e on a charge of having poisoned Mrs. Morris

Date

Loveland of that town lastAugust, 1910. Hill was arraigned and enter ed a plea of not guilty. Edwar d J. Spain of Newcomb was foreman of the jury.

Hill was arr ested at Horicon a few years ago for the mur der of Amasa Mead at Chestertown, years before, but there was not sufficient evidence to hold him.

Pain drives man to suicide

Alexander Van Pomer, 55, committed suicide Nov. 17, 1911 by hanging himself with a steel wire wrapped around a beam in a barn at his home in Fort Edward.

A few weeks ago, V an Pomer had a tooth extracted in Albany and since than his jaw has bother ed him, driving him crazy with pain. Portions of the jaw had been cut away.

He was discover ed shortly befor e breakfast by his wife who went to call him.

Alexander Van Pomer was the father of John Van Pomer, the Fort Edward aeroplane inventor.

Tree came crashing down

Charles Mor ehouse of North Thurman was str uck on the shoulder and arm by a falling tree Nov. 17, 1911 and was painfully injured. Morehouse and Bert Bills were cutting down a tree on the Meadowbrook Stock Farm and in falling it lodged in a pine tr ee adjoining. When Mor ehouse tried to dislodge it a heavy limb on the pine br oke off and str uck his shoulder . Had it str uck him six inches higher ther e is no doubt that it would have killed him, but as it was he was laid up for only a few days.

Six days of agony

Edwin Upton of W arrensburgh, who r ecently lost a valuable beagle hound while hunting in the northern part of town, found the animal Nov. 18, 1911 with one of its front legs caught in a steel trap. The poor beast’s limb was terribly lacerated and it must have endured excruciating agony during the six-

day period of its imprisonment.

Upton brought the dog home and has since given it the tender est of car e. Dr . Pitcher dressed the wound and is confident that with Upton’s faithful co-operation he will be able to save the injur ed leg and r estore its usefulness.

Fortunately the trap was not str ong enough to break the bone. The high prices of pelts have caused many hunters to set traps this fall to catch rabbits. skunks and muskrats. These fur bearing animals are said to be plentiful this season. The person who set the trap and than failed to visit it for a week to relieve the sufferings of any animal that might be caught in it, was guilty of inexcusable negligence and cruelty.

Happy couples wed

The home of Mr. and Mrs. David E. Palmer in Lewisville, W arrensburgh was the scene of a happy wedding at 7 a.m. Nov . 23, 1911 when their only daughter , Miss Crystal Palmer was married to Elmer W. Labrum of Albany. The cer emony was performed by Rev. Thomas J. Hunter, pastor of the Baptist Church. The couple left immediately after the cer emony for 38 Gr ove Str eet, Albany where Mr. Labr um, a former W arrensburgh resident, had pr epared a cozy home for his bride.

In other news, Henry Johnson and Mrs. Cora Ross, both of Wevertown, were married

by Rev. D.E. W illiams Nov. 20, 191 1 at the Methodist Episcopal parsonage in Johnsburgh.

Horicon resident dies

Orrin Pease. 73, a lifelong r esident of Horicon, died of cancer Nov. 14, 1911 after a long and painful illness. Besides his widow he is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Fr ed Bump and Mrs. Julius Sprague, both of Adirondack as well as two adopted sons, Vollie Nichols of Pottersville and Henry

“Home Fries,” a comedy-drama in thr ee acts by Arthur Lewis Tubbs, author of “The Country Minister,” which was so successful in Warrensburgh last winter, will be presented at Music Hall about Thanksgiving time under the dir ection of Nelson DuFr esne, to benefit the Washington trip fund of the Warrensburgh High School Class of 1912. Rehearsals are now in progress.

News roundabout

Rabbits and partridge ar e quite plentiful in West Stony Creek this fall and quite a lar ge number have been captured. R.D. Adams of Warrensburgh will pay cash for hides. Sanford J. Dow of North Thurman killed an April pig that weighed 300 pounds.

Congratulations are in order over the election of a Republican town boar d in Athol, something we have not ever been favor ed with until recently. Charles Baker was elected supervisor.

Edward Tripp of Warrensburgh, who was operated upon for appendicitis last month at Glens Falls Hospital, is making excellent progress. Recently it was rumored here that he was dead and general sorr ow was expressed — and later ther e was much r elief that the report was false.

The Rev. David Millington of Bakers Mills had an appointment to pr each in the Kenyontown Methodist Chur ch on Sunday evening recently and he failed to show up.

Civil War photographer honored Wevertown marks place of Mathew Brady’s birth

By John Grybos

jgrybos@denpubs.com WEVERTOWN — Every time you look at a five dollar bill there’s a little bit of Johnsburg in its history.

The iconic portrait of Pre sident Abraham Lincoln was taken by famed Civil W ar photographer Mathew Brady, who it turns out came from Wevertown near The Glen.

Brady is honored with a new sign at the Wevertown Community Center, dedicated Nov. 10 in a ceremony hosted by the Johnsburg Historical Society.

“If you look and at image of Lincoln fr om history class, 99 per cent of the time it’s a Brady,” said Jessica Rubin, an educator for the Adirondack Museum who spoke at the event.

Brady was an entr epreneur who built a brand ar ound photographing the celebrities of his day , like Lincoln, Edgar Allen Poe and famous midget T om Thumb and his wife.

With that brand, he launched a series of studios staffed by camera operators where customers could get their portraits taken like those famous subjects.

Brady’s most famous for his Civil W ar

photography, though much of that was also taken by camera operators who worked with him. Brady thought the war should be carefully documented, but after it ended most Americans wanted it to fade into the past. He couldn’t find a market for his images.

Eventually, he was paid $25,000 by the U.S. Congress for his body of work on the Civil War, but the sum wasn’t enough to cover his extensive debts. Despite his important cultural and historical work, Brady died a poor man.

The pr oject was set in motion by Milda Burns, who’d read that Brady was born in Lake Geor ge. Knowing that wasn’t accurate, she worked diligently to collect information on the man, pinning down his birthplace in Wevertown.

She’s compiled a portfolio featuring all of Brady’s work, including his gory Civil War images. It’s often noted that Brady and his assistants moved corpses for photographs.

“I read that, so I assume it’s tr ue,” said Burns. “But I don’t know.”

The sign’s placement is less than perfect, said Burns. “I’m heartbr oken that it can’t go down by the Glen.”

The sign is easy to find for the curious.

It’s just to the left of the front doors at the Wevertown Community Center.

Dale and her musical partner , Ben Deschamps, will perform at Crandall Library, 251 Glen St., in an event that will offer an alternative to Black Friday shopping.

The duo performs re gularly and internationally in the Medieval r e-enactment community, at science fiction conventions and for students and teachers of history and folklor e, especially the periods of King Arthur and Medieval Europe.

Their concerts ar e high-energy affairs that include audience participation, and her knowledge of Celtic legends and world folklore leads to storytelling between songs.

Their concerts focus primarily on Dale’s original songs, which range from ballads and traditional songs, to folk-r ock.

The duo has produced 13 CDs. Dale’s stop in Glens Falls comes near the end of a U.S. tour that started Nov. 9 and includes concerts at two major science fiction conventions, folk music venues and various other sites. For details, contact Bill Toscano at (978) 979-0933.

increase. The board was ready to change employees’ health care coverage from Blue Shield to Capital District Physicians Health Plan when the former entity announced a 21 percent increase, but instead decided to stay with Blue Shield after the firm made a last-minute competitive counter -offer. At the Nov . 9 meeting, the boar d approved the new program.

Resident Al Smith complimented the board on its work to trim government expenses for 2012.

“It’s appropriate to present a budget with a flat tax levy in these economic times,” he said.

With an eye on r educing future government expenses drastically, town boar d member John Alexander r ecommended that the town consider abolishing the policy of granting lifetime health insurance coverage to boar d members after 10 years of service.

“In the private sector, employees don’t get lifetime coverage after 10 years,” he said. “I enjoy the benefit, but for a part-time councilman, this is very unreasonable.”

Kevin said the boar d would r esearch and r eview the policy.

“I’d like to get this buttoned up befor e the new year,” he said.

Local Resident Mike Currie said he supported such a policy change. He said that a 30-year -old serving on the town board might cost town taxpayers $400,000 or mor e in upcoming years under the present policy.

“We’ve got to tighten our belts and be mor e realistic,” he said. “The days of ‘good ole boy’ politics are gone.”

In other business, a report from a town zoning update committee is expected soon. Boar d member Brian Rounds, who serves on the panel, said that the gr oup is seeking ways of boosting light commer cial a ctivity in town — in accordance with the town’s master plan.

It was reported that the state Health Department conducted tests on the town water and sewer systems, and the results were excellent.

Geraghty said the town's sewage lagoon was pr oviding appropriate capacity.

He also said that a well driller had visited town and identified several potential sites for a new water well, including on the W arrensburg Fish Hatchery pr operty, owned by Warren County.

“Water is our numberone priority,” he said, noting that recent water tests have resulted in passing marks, with low levels of copper and lead, both pr oblematic in past years here.

“We’re trying to be as aggr essive as possible in trying to give all the people in town as good drinking water as we can,” Geraghty said.

The volunteers she was watching were primarily Gr eat Escape employees versed in constr uction skills who had volunteered to work with a dozen or so Habitat for Humanity members to renovate a home at 88 Bir ch Ave. to be sold at a substantial discount to the Beaty couple.

Built in 1994, it is now being rehabilitated by the area Habitat for Humanity chapter for the Beatys after a former client of the agency moved out.

Friday, the workers wer e installing new plumbing and electrical updates, hanging drywall, replacing floors, and totally r enovating bathr ooms and kitchens — as well as painting the interior, cleaning up, and er placing the roof and reconstructing a porch.

Habitat for Humanity chapter president Priscilla Petta of Queensbury said the Beatys wer e selected fr om a gr oup of applicants based on criteria including housing needs and how much impact the house would have on their lives. The Beaty home is the 22nd project for this chapter of Habitat for Humanity but only the thir d r enovation effort undertaken by the group.

The house is to be sold to the Beatys at cost — much of the materials are donated — and will be financed with anointerest loan. She said the pr oject was started about five weeks ago, and should be finished by the end of 2011.

For the 50 or so Gr eat Escape employees at work on the project Friday, their effort was their third annual “Project 6 Day of Service,” conducted this year in partnership with Habitat for Humanity and the United Way. Prior pr ojects included working at Double-H Home in the Woods Ranch in Lake Luzerne and a project for the Sal-

vation Army, R ebecca C lose o f G reat Escape said.

“We have a lot of employees with advanced skills, and this puts them to work to benefit a family that r eally needs it,” she said.

Erik Voelker of Lake Geor ge paused from hanging drywall, as dozens of people worked around him.

“It’s an honor to help out, and really make a lasting impact on someone’s life,” he said.

Fred Griffen of Pottersville added his thoughts.

“What can I say — they need help, so we’re her e helping out,” he said. “I know what it’s like — my wife and I had to live in a shack for a year and a half.”

Ethel Beaty said she was impr essed when the gr oup showed up to tackle the work.

“I was br eathless when I saw this huge crew arrive,” she said with tears in her eyes. “I thank them all from the deepest part of my heart and soul.”

Thurman scraps municipal trash collection, avoids tax increase

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com THURMAN — After 90 minutes of heated discussion Monday, Nov. 14, the Thurman Town Boar d adopted a 2012 budget that eliminated its tr easured tradition of townwide, curbside trash collection.

The decision hung in the balance for the evening with thr ee of five boar d members expressing support to r etain the service — rare in the r egion for a r ural town — until councilwoman Rebecca Hitchcock changed her position as the reality of a pending 15 to 20 percent tax hike sunk in.

“I just can’t do that to the taxpayers of Thurman,” she said as she cast her vote for a budget that abandons the municipal trash collection and calls for a zer o percent tax rate increase.

Earlier in the evening, Hitchcock and fellow board members Leon Galusha and Charlie Bills had expr essed solid opposition to eliminating the trash pickup, based on the many calls they r eceived fr om concerned residents.

But board member Al Vasak and town Supervisor Evelyn W ood noted that the town would soon need a replacement trash truck, and the town would have to start saving tens of thousands of dollars per year if trash collection were to continue for long.

Vasak characterized trash collection as a luxury, and observed it was unfair for owners of vacant land to pay for trash collection when they didn’t have any. Several people in the audience echoed his point.

Vasak and Wood said that amount of trash

Town board members discussed municipal tr ash collection at their special budget meeting M onday, Nov. 14, and after more than a few exchanges of angry words, decided to eliminate it for 2012 and keep local property taxes flat, avoiding a predicted 15 to 18 percent increase.

collected in town — about eight tons per week — was “ridiculous” or “excessive” for the 338 families living in town. They and others at the meeting speculated that trash was being br ought in by outsiders seeking free disposal.

Leon Galusha argued that the town ought to pr osecute the of fenders, but keep trash collection. He and Bills maintained that municipal trash collection would cost far less to the average homeowner than alternative disposal methods.

After the boar d unanimously appr oved a fiscal safety measur e of a tax-cap override,

Hitchcock changed her mind on the budget and cast her vote for the spending plan that call for no incr ease in tax rate — 3.33 per thousand in 2011.

The amount to be raised by taxes for 2012 is set at $599,560 versus a 2010 tax levy of $591,118 in 201 1. The dif ference in the two figures is expected to be absorbed by an aggregate assessment shift.

Total 2012 appr opriations wer e set at $1,495,506, to be reduced by $729,603 in revenues, and of fset by $166,343 of fund balance. Appropriations for 201 1 totalled $1,690,066 in 201 1, minus 759,948 in r ev-

enues, with $339,000 of fund balance.

The budget called for elimination of the summer r ecreation pr ogram, a move that Wood characterized as temporary. Also, the budget reflects a voluntary pay cut of 3 percent in the town bookkeeper ’s salary.

Municipal trash collection is likely to continue into mid-January until details ar e worked out for a smooth transition, W ood said. Residents can buy color-coded bags to pay for their disposal, with a 15-gallon bag going for $1, and a 33-gallon bag costing $2.

The new system is expected to raise $70,000 or so in revenue, and might result in a surplus that will lower taxes, town of ficials said. The cessation of fr ee collection is expected to slash the tonnage of trash collected as people will be influenced to separate the recyclable materials out of their trash — and these materials will also likely yield extra revenue for town taxpayers.

In 2011, disposing of the tonnage cost taxpayers $80,620 plus costs of fuel, vehicle depreciation, and employee retirement premiums. Personnel money once spent on collection is to be shifted to manning the town transfer station, which is located of f Mountain and Irving Baker roads. Board members said they expect that the facility to be open four to five days per week, including Sunday.

Wood said thursday that if that r esidents find that taking their trash to a central facility is too bur densome or expensive, the board could always revert in 2013 to municipal pickup.

“We’ll see how it goes,” she said.

The town of Thurman is still in need of a planning board member. Those inter ested in becoming a member , send an application letter to P.O. Box 29, Athol, NY. Now that the election is over, is everyone happy? TheSkyHy Road Bridge is still out and r esidents have to use Putnam Cross Roads. Word is in that the that the bridge on South Johnsburg Rd. near the cemetery is fixed and can be traversed. Ther e ar e still other bridges in town that haven’t been repaired.
