Pie baking charity has long tradition

More support seen for sales tax hike

Susan Duell, a resident of Countryside Adult Home in Warrensburg, pets a dog named Sadie that lived with the residents for a while until it was booted out for being somewhat too frisky. Warren County’s budget cuts have reduced staffing at Countryside substantially, and until recently, supervisors have talked about closing the facility to save money.

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Local high school senior Christian Bruce filled a pie shell Saturday with fresh apple and spice filling, then placed a thin sheet of dough on top and crimped the edges of the crust.

This is his sixth year of preparing homemade pies alongside other Warrensburg High School students, he said.

“I’m glad to help this effort every year,” he said. “It’s a good way to benefit local families through Operation Santa Claus.”

Warrensburg sophomore Maggie Danna, who peeled and sliced apples for two hours, agreed.

“It’s a nice thing to do,” she said. “And it puts us in the spirit of Thanksgiving while it raises money for charity.”

Student Megan Pierce also said the experience of

STONY CREEK — Elections normally spawn heated campaigns dubious promises and tense vote counts.

But in the rural town of Stony Creek, life plays out differently.

Saturday, a full 18 days after the general election, former Stony Creek Highway Superintendent Zackary Thomas was apparently surprised to learn he had won an open seat for town assessor, although he hadn’t campaigned for the post.

“I wasn’t aware there was an opening for assessor on the ballot, and I don’t think very many people were aware of it either,” LaGrasse said.

At the far right hand side of the Nov. 3 ballot for Stony Creek, a headline said “Assessor — Vote for One,” but no candidates were listed underneath. No one had filed with the county to run for the post, which pays about $2,000 per year.

LAKE GEORGE — After securing a series of grants and satisfying financial and contract concerns, the village of Lake George has now officially accepted — and been awarded — a $2.5 million grant by the state for West Brook Park.

The grant, from the state Department of Transportation under the Federal Transportation Enhancement Program, will be used to complete the public park elements of the West Brook Conservation Initiative. This project primarily entails constructing a wetlands that treats stormwater before it reaches Lake George, and an accompanying environmental park.

Acceptance of the grant had been held up due to concerns that money, from various sources, for the project’s entire cost — estimated at $10 million — needed to be assured, Mayor Robert Blais said Monday. If some of the money doesn’t materialize, the outstanding balance would be shouldered by local taxpayers, he said.

“We are now satisfied the money is now all in place,” Blais said Monday, referring to grants, pledges and cash.

The Lake George Village and Town governments, Warren County, the Lake George Association, the Fund for Lake George and the Lake George Land Conservancy jointly purchased the former Gaslight Village property in 2007 from

the Charles Wood Foundation for $4.1 million. The 12.5 acre site, located on both sides of West Brook, will be converted into a public park containing a series of wetlands and infiltrators to capture stormwater runoff from a large watershed in the southern basin of the lake.

The park will consist of walking paths, an extension of the Warren County bike trail, restrooms, a children’s play area, fitness trails and interpretive educational areas. The conservation initiatives will dramatically reduce the nutrients and solids reaching the lake that has contributed to a large delta at the foot of West Brook.

The grant funding should complete the financing needed to complete the park, estimated to be about $10.5 million. The local share of the grant will be matched with the acquisition costs and funds raised by private donations to the environmental groups.

A grant from the state Department of Transportation is expected to complete the initiatives on the south side during the reconstruction of state Rte. 9. The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers will undertake the stormwater work on the north end.

Mayor Blais indicated that the $2.5 million will cover all construction costs to make the property “look like a park.”

ways, landscaping, trees, benches, lighting, playgrounds, signage and public restrooms. Kiosks, bridges, ramps and overlooks have also been designed into the park area.

The renovation and rehabilitation of the former Cavalcade of Cars building and the Opera House, located inside the festival space, are not eligible for funding under the grant. Federal guidelines prohibit park funding being used unless the facilities are open to the public free of charge and not utilized by private concerns charging for their use.

The festival space is intended to be used to house groups such as Americade, Adirondack National Car Show that charge admission.

The West Brook Conservation Initiative is the largest environmental project ever undertaken to protect the water quality of Lake George, Blais said The project thus far has garnered over $7 million in federal and state funding.

“Next year, after months of planning, pursuing grants and permits the public will begin to see progress in our effort to create this beautiful park,” the Mayor said. “It has been a lengthy and sometimes arduous process but in the end will show our resolve in protecting our most valuable asset.”

Junior high students honored for academics and leadership

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Basking in both the glow of candlelight and their parents’ and friends’ admiration, 29 Warrensburg High School students were inducted Nov. 19 into the local chapter of the National Junior Honor Society.

The inductees were chosen for their personal achievements in scholarship, service, leadership, character and citizenship — and five members of the local chapter spoke about these characteristics during the candlelight induction ceremony held at the school.

On leadership, 9th grader Adam Langworthy said that leaders put forth extra effort into all their pursuits, not only their own work but helping those in need. Leadership means not taking the easy way out and being aware that others count on them to set an example.

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader,” Langworthy said, quoting John Quincy Adams, Langworthy said.

WCS High School freshman Allie Squires said the concept of character extended beyond being polite and respectful, she said it’s about meeting life’s challenges and making choices based on integrity, not on peer approval.

“Character is doing the right thing even if it means going against what’s cool or its what everyone else is doing,” she said. “It’s also believing that when times are hard, you can get up and face another day.”

Sophomore Jack Eaton said scholarship went beyond merely acquiring knowledge, and was an important trait in attaining success in life. Exemplary scholarship, he said, not only required studying hard, and paying attention in classes, but a matter of determination and dedication.

“Scholarship is not only the possession of knowledge, but having the work ethic to succeed in attaining knowledge,” he said.

Freshman Amanda Russo said citizenship required awareness and involvement — not only in a variety of school activities but in the greater community, which could include actions for environmental benefit.

“In conserving resources by reducing, reusing and recycling, youth can spend their time helping the community to become a better and safer place,” she said, urging her fellow students to become involved.

On the subject of service to others, 9th grader Beecher Baker said it helped people obtain pride, satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment, but had far greater significance and impact.

Noting that President Obama had challenged Americans to delve into community service as it was essential for solving the nation’s problems, Baker made some suggestions where students could apply their tal-

ents for others.

“Whether it’s helping out at a church or homeless shelter, cleaning up a local highway or being a peer tutor in school, all these things can help change the world, little by little,” he said. “Albert Einstein once said, ‘Only a life lived for others is a life lived

worthwhile.’”

Guest speaker for the induction ceremony was Warrensburg Central School Elementary School teacher and WCS graduate Amber Seeley. A successful student while studying at WCS, she had been a member of both the junior and senior honor societies.

Junior Honor Society President Tyler Wilcox, a 9th grader, served as the induction event’s emcee. The Warrensburg Central School Linda Marcella, Proprietor Mastersingers performed at Rt. 9, Chestertown (518) 623-5030 the event, and a reception for the students, their parents and friends, was held afterward.

Pies From page 1 making 171 pies was fun.

“It’s a great social time and a good way to raise money to help others.”

About two dozen Warrensburg High School students and 10 or so adults created pies from scratch, using fresh topquality ingredients.

The tradition started 15 years ago in the local kitchen of Mary Sweet, who along with her children Jackie McNeill and Stephanie LaFond, baked pies for charity, Janis Merrithew recalled. The effort, centering on raising money for Florence LaPoint’s Operation Santa Claus, grew and

moved to the school, where large-capacity commercial equipment and dozens of students annually turned out to create up to 329 pies in a morning’s work. The students have been members of the local Junior States, Honor Society and Student Council organizations, among others.

Saturday mid-morning, Warrensburg Central Math Teacher Chris Blakely was offering a dozen of the students tips on efficient apple slicing, advising them that thin slices maximize the apple essence in the finished confection.

Working in the kitchen, creating the filling, rolling dough, and assembling, baking, and wrapping pies, were Merrithew, Tennant, Social Studies Teacher Io Bruce, Debbie Papenhausen, Renee Arm-

strong, Katie Seeley, Lisa Gundel, Doug Duell and others.

As the pies were being wrapped for delivery, Florence LaPoint, who has helped out hundreds of local families for decades through her charitable activities, broke into a smile as she saw all the students and adults working on the apple pies.

“These kids are putting all this effort into this,” she said. “It’s wonderful they are so motivated to help out others in the community.”

Minutes later, Sarah Barber of Lake George walked out of the high school with a warm apple pie that she planned to serve her family, including three children — two of them home from college.

“This is a family favorite,” she said.

Concert with European flair scheduled

Collectible tree ornament offered again

WARRENSBURG — A holiday concert of seasonal and holiday songs, Medieval style, will be performed 7 p.m. Saturday Dec. 6 by the Adirondack Recorder Band at St. Cecilia Catholic Church on Main St. Talented musicians from the region are featured in the performance, directed by Richie & Elaine Henzler of locally based Courtly Music Unlimited.

“The concert offers a beautiful blending of voice, recorders and viols,” Elaine Henzler said in a press release.

The offerings include a medley of pentatonic winter & advent tunes and five children’s songs, she said.

This concert, held in conjunction with Christmas in Warrensburgh, features free admission. For details, call Courtly Music at 623-2867.

WARRENSBURG — The 21st annual edition of the Christmas in Warrensburgh tree ornament series is now available for purchase. All ornaments are handcrafted, numbered, signed and dated, according to Teresa Whalen of Warrensburg Beautification, Inc. which sponsors the series.

The 2009 ornament was crafted by North Country artisan Sudjai Bentley, a native of Thailand and a resident of Mt. Arab in Tupper Lake. The design, a woven birch-bark fish, commemorates the quadricentennial of the discovery of the Hudson River and Lake Champlain. Also available is a companion ornament, a miniature watercolor landscape featuring water, mountains and trees to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Warrensburgh Beautification, which has recently focused on the appreciation and preservation of the abundant flora along the banks of the Hudson.

Tree ornament orders may be placed by calling 466-5497 or e-mailing taawhalen@yahoo.com , and picked up on Friday, November 27 at the Senior Citizens Center from 10 a.m. to noon. A limited number of ornaments will also be available at Miller Art & Frame, 3729 Main St., Warrensburg.

The prices have remained the same since 1989 to encourage businesses and private residences to dress up for the festivities, she said.

6 - ADIRONDACK JOURNAL • OPINION / BOLTON LANDING

•100 Years Ago – November, 1909• Hunting deaths widespread in Adirondacks Aside from the deer killed in the Adirondacks this season, five men have been slain and eleven others have been wounded by bullets. Four of the five deaths of persons were by the hunter ’s own guns.

Hunter ’s Moon is the name given to the full moon immediately following the Harvest Moon. It is so called, not because it enables the hunter to pursue his game at night as is generally supposed, but because the crops having been harvested, there is nothing to interfere with the sportsman’s pleasure.

Warrensburgh and vicinity received six inches of snow on Thanksgiving eve. This is the earliest sleighing in many years.

Thief’s jailbreak from Lake George lockup Lake George was thrown into a state of great excitement when Thomas Lanfear, 22, the young man who was committed to the County Jail for obtaining an overcoat from Erlanger ’s Dept. Store, Glens Falls, under false pretenses, made his escape from the jail.

Jailer Brown went into the jail shortly after 6 o’clock to feed the prisoners and in doing so left the door to Lanfear ’s cell enclosure open and Lanfear, seeing his opportunity, made a wild dash for liberty. An alarm was immediately sounded and soon the posse was in wild pursuit.

Ralph Brown, son of the jailer and Oliver Moore, a Hudson Valley Trolley conductor, eventually captured him on a trolley car which, coming back from Warrensburgh, passed the Plank Road crossing where the fugitive attempted to embark and ride out of town in comfort. Lanfear was taken back to his jail cell.

Walls came tumbling down John Donahue and Henry Dunlap of North Creek narrowly escaped fatal injuries recently while they were at work connecting a water pipe in a deep ditch. Without any warning the sides of the ditch caved in and they were entombed.

Several workmen rushed to their aid and with much difficulty dug them out, bruised, lame and sore. Dunlap’s ankle was sprained.

Gates of Minerva suffers fiery death The funeral of Mary Gates, widow of James Gates of Minerva, took place on Saturday, Nov. 20, 1909 and internment was in the Irishtown Cemetery.

Mary Gates had been taken with a shock (a stroke) and was in a helpless condition. Her attendant left her alone for a few minutes and upon returning found her bed to be on fire. The patient was so badly burned that she lived but for a few minutes. It is supposed that the bed was set afire from a smoking pipe as there was one found in the room.

James Gates, her husband, was also killed at the time their house burned a few years back.

Missed the century mark Julia A. Varney died Oct. 28, 1909 at her home in Glens Falls in her 100th year. She was born Dec. 2, 1809 in Vergennes, Vt. and fell short by only 35 days of reaching her landmark birthday. Her father was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. (Note…Records show that William Parr, 152 years old, on record as England’s oldest man, was married the third time at the age of 120, worked in the fields until age 132. Locally, Mary Sage was 106 when she died in 1916 and Katherine Kettenbach was 107 when she died in 1981.)

Peg factory owner visits old hometown J.R. Foster, 75, of Shelburne Falls visited Warrensburgh recently as a guest of Fred W. King (a grandson of early pioneer Palatiah Richards) and John L. Tubbs (editor of the Warrensburgh News) to visit old friends. Foster was a former resident and owner of the local shoe peg and bobbin factory, which was once an important Warrensburgh industry, and now located at Plymouth, N.H. Foster ’s sons, Edward and George, are in charge of the factory in its new location.

Foster moved from Warrensburgh about 15 years ago. He now occupies his time by making violins. He’s completed 25 of them and is now working on his 26th. Foster has presented two of his violins to Tubbs, who values them highly.

(Note…The peg factory was a red two-story building about 300 feet long located across River St. from today’s Curtis Lumber Co. The fine stone wall at the back of the property is still in existence. The Blue Star” shoe pegs made at the factory through July 1893, were considered to be the best in the world. The shoe pegs, fashioned from white birch, were sold to Germany for soldier ’s shoes. The business was moved to Shelburne Falls in 1893 where it was again in operation in August that same year.

After the peg factory had left, clothespins were made in the building on River Street until it burned down in 1898.

The first violin Foster presented to Tubbs, of the Alard Strad pattern which he sent along in 1904, was named “The Old Squire” by Tubbs and was highly valued by him. He

played it for the next quarter century. I wonder where it is today.)

A glimpse of better days Otis H. Tefft, 83, of Sandy Hill (Hudson Falls), despondent over his physical condition, committed suicide Nov. 21, 1909 by shooting himself through the right temple, at Ripley’s Point, Lake George. He had been boarding there for a couple of weeks at the home of Elmer J. Fuller. Mr. Tefft was found unconscious on the floor of the boathouse of F.M. Jenkins, a neighbor. Beneath the body and piled about it were pillows and cushions arranged in preparation for death.

Otis Tefft was a highly respected resident of Sandy Hill.

He was born in the town of Caldwell (Lake George) in 1826.

For many years he was prominent in the lumber business in Plattsburgh. Forty years ago (1869) he was identified with the Sandy Hill Iron and Brass Works and he has been retired for 25 years.

(Note…Apparently the same man was the subject of an article in an 1880 edition of the Lake George Mirror): “On May 11, 1880, Mr. O.H. Tefft of Sandy Hill brought up and launched a very nice new Catamaran, 16 feet long and 7 feet wide. It was built by Daily and Hyde of Moss St., one mile north of Sandy Hill and cost $175. Mr. Tefft intends to spend about a week on the lake with his craft.”

News roundabout There was a turkey shoot at South Horicon and 13 turkeys were disposed of. Elden Jenks, formerly of North Warrensburgh, is now working with his team at Sandy Hill (Hudson Falls.)

A Lake George hunter, while returning from a northern trip, lost a double-barrel Remington shotgun from his wagon between Wevertown and The Glen. A liberal reward is offered for its return.

Ruthven Cahill and Miss Mary Anne Whipple, both of Warrensburgh, were married by the Rev. E.J. Guernsey on Oct. 9, 1909 at the Methodist Episcopal Church.

Wife flees, husband warns public Ad: To whom it may concern – My wife, Alice Cleveland, left my bed and board without just provocation — I hereby forbid all persons harboring her or trusting her on my account as I shall not pay any debts that she contracts. North River – Oct. 15, 1909. — Emery Cleveland.

THURMAN • ADIRONDACK JOURNAL - 7

Glenda Duell’s election tally swells in recount thom@denpubs.com THURMAN — The surprise write-in win of only three votes for Stony Creek assessor wasn’t the only election abnormality in rural northern Warren County.

In neighboring Thurman, a faulty election machine made results look dismal for a candidate, who a week after the election was awarded 41 times the votes she was credited with on Election Day in the unofficial tally.

Glenda Duell, a local citizen activist and real estate investor, was credited with only 2 votes for her bid to be on the town board.

Local residents had questioned the results, considering the sizeable number of relatives, friends and supporters she has in town.

A post-election machine inspection, however showed that the machine tally should have been 82 votes, rather than 2, and combined with her 8 absentee votes counted about a week after the Nov. 3 election, she received 90.

In that race, three candidates were on the ballot for two positions: incumbents Al Vasak, Charles Bills and challenger Glenda Duell.

The recent recount, however, didn’t change the outcome, as Vasak and Bills still came out on top. The final vote count was Al Vasak: 289; Glenda Duell: 90; Charles Bills: 107 and Rebecca Desourdy: 1.

Republican Election Commissioner Mary Beth Casey said Friday that the incorrect election-day tally was caused by an aged roller in the back of the election machine, which didn’t press heavy enough on the inked paper.

“The roller didn’t press heavy enough for a proper impression,” she said.

Casey said that a post-election inspection of the paper proof by personnel in the county Board of Elections prompted an investigation into the tally. The employees noted that if Duell’s tally were truly 2 votes, it should have read “002” instead of just “2” on the paper proof.

Two days after the election, County Democratic Elections Commissioner William Montfort, Casey said, opened up the back of the Thurman machine and read a mechanical digital counter, which indicated the actual tally of 82 machine votes.

Glenda Duell, reached Monday on vacation in Texas, said she was frustrated that this same glitch had occurred two years ago when she ran for town board.

That year, on election night, it was unofficially declared that she received one vote although she received 90 or so.

This one-vote tally, published in newspapers and websites, was an embarrassment, she said, that wasn’t corrected publicly.

“I’d like to know why this type of mechanical problem should be allowed to happen twice,” Duell said, noting that the machine may have had other problems in 2007 as well, including not allowing people to vote for two board members in particular combinations of their choice. “This is a disservice to the people who voted for me.”

Montfort said the election machine’s roller assembly hadn’t been fixed because parts for it were no longer available.

The problem of the multiple votes in 2007, he added, was likely a matter in which several voters lifted a write-in window, then changed their minds, triggering lockout bars to engage — a design limitation of the machine, he said, rather than a malfunction.

Over the fence It has been an odd month of November so far with some pretty cool days and frosty nights and then we jump to 60 degree days and lows of 40. What’s going on here? All this was by Nov. 18 — But our woolly-bear caterpillars are telling us we may see snow before turkey day.

Flux Silver Gallery Press Release Girls, goggles, and lots of glass. . .A recipe for disaster or the hottest new art jewelry gallery in Upstate New York?

“FLUX Silver Gallery is a jewelry gallery run by metalsmiths for metalsmiths, “says artist/owner Winnie Chai.

“And yes, we do use safety goggles. ” Located in Glens Falls, New York on the second floor of the Shirt Factory, a building full of shops and artist studios, the FLUX space is elegant and intimate, allowing shoppers a chance to get up close and personal with high-quality work in silver and gold. “When you walk in you are immediately surrounded by beautiful things,” says Mylissa Corlew.

The gallery represents a range of original work handcrafted by emerging local artists as well as up-and-coming designers and makers throughout the United States. There are oneof-a-kind sculptural art pieces as well as reasonably-priced and very wearable everyday jewelry.

Three gutsy young women, all designers and metalsmiths, jointly own and operate FLUX Silver Gallery. Cindy Gorman, Mylissa Corlew and Winnie Chai share almost everything: ideas, expenses, gallery time, and a passion for fine craft and distinctive design.

They each bring something different to the table.

Cindy Gorman has been making things as long as she can remember. “I knew I wanted to be an artist in First Grade. “With an architect father and a love for tools she went on to get her undergraduate and graduate degrees in Metals, then worked for several established jewelry designers before creatingher own line of enamel and silver jewelry and starting FLUX. Mylissa Corlew, who grew up in Hudson Falls, has a nose for business. “I have always had a desire to open my own business. I have a strong business background and a degree in the field, and having a place to display my own work is an added bonus.”

Winnie Chai grew up in Queensbury but fell in love with jewelry as cultural and human expression backpacking through western China, Tibet, Nepal and India. “I spent a few months in Kathmandu learning metalwork from a family of goldsmiths, set up my own workshop when I returned to the U.S., and have never looked back.”

The trioʼs mission in opening FLUX also involves building a stronger, more vibrant arts community in the local area and supporting working artists in the community. Especially as families, friends and neighbors pull together in these difficult times, they firmly believe in buying local and handmade.

“Buying locally will ensure that money spent will remain in the area. Buying handmade will ensure a high-quality product that you can be proud of,” says Mylissa Corlew.

“I buy handmade because I appreciate the art of making,” says Cindy Gorman. “I enjoy that someone like myself had a part in producing the goods I buy. It makes me feel good to support individual people, not just big corporations. I also love unique things!”

FLUX Silver Gallery opened for business in early November 2009. Their hours of operation are Thursday-Friday 12 – 7 and Saturday 10-5. Flux welcomes you to their Grand Opening the weekend after Thanksgiving November 27 -29, Friday 12-8, Saturday and Sunday 10-5.

Located on the second floor of The Shirt Factory, 71 Lawrence Street #220, Glens Falls, NY 12801, they can be reached at 518.832.9881 or at their website, www.fluxsilver.com.

Park in Horicon to memorialize soldier Jeremiah Monroe

By Poul Carstensen denpubs@denpubs.com HORICON — Brant Lake soldier Jeremiah Monroe sacrificed his life in the Afghanistan war this August, and townspeople and area veterans are establishing a veterans memorial park in his memory.

While the formal dedication ceremony is to be held in May, area veterans held a memorial ceremony on Veterans Day, Nov. 11 at the park, located in the hamlet of Adirondack across from the general store.

People primarily from Chester and Horicon, including the communities of Adirondack and Brant Lake, gathered for the ceremony — citizens of all ages, and veterans from a number of wars and conflicts. Together, they paid a tribute to Jeremiah Monroe’s ultimate sacrifice.

Ron Roberts, Chaplain of Chester Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5513, presented Monroe’s mother, Delores “Peanut” Monroe, with a citation of honor signed by the VFW’s national Commander in Chief.

Roberts offered a prayer for Delores Monroe and other

Gold Star Parents who lost their children in combat.

“Bless and comfort them; give them the courage to accomplish their daily tasks and to meet the problems of life, and grant that their example may be our inspiration,” Roberts said.

The park resurrection project was initially launched last year when Erwin Robbins, aided by his family members, decided to replace a memorial, an honor roll of U.S. soldiers that served in World War II, Town Clerk Arlene Mayer said Monday.

Town highway employees and volunteers cut down a considerable amount of brush, cut trees and sculpted the site, set up some picnic tables, erected a flag pole, and moved a phone booth.

Then after Monroe was killed while on duty in Afghanistan, local veterans and town officials jointly decided to officially name it the Jeremiah Monroe Veterans Memorial Park — and work on the park continued with new significance, Mayer said.

“When the town lost Jeremiah, it only seemed fitting to honor him however all us could,” she said. “Everybody has

been so excited about this project, because it represents a whole revival of the area. It’s such a beautiful setting, and this work is bringing it back to life.”

Plans call for a bronze plaque to be installed, and a flower garden to be planted, both scheduled for spring.

Mayer said many people from several communities and all walks of life have worked together to make the memorial park a reality.

“It’s a real town-wide project between town board, town employees, volunteers, veterans and Adirondack residents,” Mayer said. “It’s a wonderful tribute.”

ATHOL — For those who want to avoid the materialistic frenzy and expense of mall shopping, a local hometown event offers a delightful alternative, local publicist Perky Granger said this week, citing Saturday’s Country Christmas Bazaar in Thurman.

“Forget about Black Friday, fighting mall crowds and decimating the holiday budget,” she said. “Enjoy the friendly banter, unique items and great prices at the annual Bazaar.”

To be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 28 in the Thurman Town Hall in Athol, the bazaar features jewelry, gifts and collectibles, as well as knitted, sewn, crocheted items and baked goods.

Also, shoppers will see one of a kind Adirondack Rustic Miniatures by Donna Wormwood, stained glass stepping stones, all natural Thurman maple products, homemade soaps, lotions and candles and more. Light refreshments and lunch are available at the event. For details, see: www.Thurman-ny.com or call 623-2580.

Patriotic contest ceremony set for North Warren CHESTERTOWN — The annual Patriots’ Pen/Voice of Democracy Award Ceremony, a local tradition, has been scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Dec. 7 at North North Warren Central School Auditorium. Held in conjunction with V.F.W. #5513, the event includes the presentation of democracy essay awards.

The annual Patriot’s Pen essay and Voice of Democracy Audio Essay awards will be presented in the ceremony.

The Patriot’s Pen essay contest is open to all sixth, seventh and eighth grade students. This years’ theme is: “When is the Right Time to Honor Our Military Heroes?”

Senior High school students were eligible to compete in the Voice of Democracy audio essay with the theme being: “Does America Still Have Heroes?”

The Patriot’s Pen and Voice of Democracy contests have become a tradition at North Warren Central School with student involvement increasing each year. “We are proud of our student’s involvement with our local VFW Post 5513 and look forward to this wonderful ceremony,” Jean Kubaryk of NWCS said.

slim margin. Since then, he had been an employee of the Hadley Town Highway Department until he retired about six months ago. His uncle is Frank Thomas, who serves as town supervisor.

Frank Thomas said Monday morning he hadn’t yet heard whether Zackary Thomas was accepting the position as assessor.

LaGrasse said that Thomas hadn’t yet officially accepted the post, and that would occur at the town’s 2010 organizational meeting.

“Zackary is very knowledgeable about the town and he’s popular,” LaGrasse said.

The organizational meeting will be held either the morning of Monday Jan. 4 or Tuesday Jan. 5, Frank Thomas said.

LaGrasse said the open assessor seat was due to the

expired term of Tara Tremaine Fisher, who ran for supervisor against Frank Thomas.

Carol LaGrasse, who serve on the board for nine years, credited Zackary Thomas for bringing the town Highway Department into the modern age, keeping comprehensive records and keeping the department working efficiently.

Peter LaGrasse said that serving as assessor requires a commitment to considerable training provided by the state.

A town assessor, however, unlike a town justice, can begin serving in the post and perform assessor ’s duties while taking the required schedule of courses, he said.

Decisions on a town Board of Assessors are made by consensus, LaGrasse said.

Efforts to contact Zackary Thomas, Harrington and Fisher were unsuccessful.

Man battles for his life with monster buck G

The mountains, forests, lakes and streams of the Adirondacks provide an unlimited spectrum of outdoor recreation opportunities. Key to unlocking these treasures is the involvement of one responsible, adult mentor to introduce a kid to the outdoors. For the sake of your community, step up, step out and be that special person. Children will remember you!

Get the kids outside!

H

istorically, rural communities have provided their local youth with few opportunities for structured recreation beyond the scope of school sports or summer youth program offerings.

Most small towns don't have the malls, gyms, movie theaters or civic centers typically found in larger communities. Recreation is often left to a child’s imagination, which can be a positive or negative outlet, depending on the direction we provide.

Today’s kids are presented with a wealth of electronic attractions ranging from computers, to video games to cell phones and beyond. They will make due with the resources that are available to them.

In the Adirondacks, the most readily available local recreational resources are our woods and waters. The region is blessed with a wealth of natural attractions that attract travelers from all over the world to play in our big backyard.

In recent years, I’ve researched a number of opportunities and programs designed to introduce local children to the outdoors. I’ve been encouraged with what I’ve found and I’m thrilled with the range and diversity of the offerings.

Throughout the Adirondacks, there are numerous opportunities for children, and their parents to develop the appropriate skills, outdoor education and appreciation to effectively enjoy the local environment. Best of all, most of the programs are offered at little or no cost.

If our children don't possess the necessary tools, skills and knowledge to utilize their surroundings, they are severely disadvantaged and underprivileged. It is a fact of life in the North Country, we must provide our own recreation!

We go outside because it is in our nature to go outside.

We go out to climb the mountains and to paddle the rivers, to fish the streams, to photograph the scenes and to plunge into the ponds or ski the hills.

We do such things to stay in touch with something inside our being, to expand our horizons and to test ourselves. When we cease to do such things we are no longer alive, we are simply existing.

There are few activities that foster the bond between parents and their children than participating in outdoor adventures, simply enjoying the woods together. The outdoors offers inclusive activities that allow both adults and kids to share equally in the experience.

Such activities require cooperation and trust between adults and kids while helping to instill traditional values, connectivity with nature and a healthy lifestyle.

A parent will discover more about their child in an hour of playing together than can be accomplished in a lifetime of conversation.

Shared play is the most genuine act that children and adults can know.

It is a fact known throughout history. Herodotus, the Greek historian claimed that: “Man is most nearly himself when he achieves the seriousness of a child at play.”

I’d like to see New York institute a statewide, school based initiative to promote youth participation in the outdoors. Although numerous public and private groups are currently working to get youth interested and involved in the outdoors; the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation should be charged with the responsibility for developing a comprehensive educational/recreational program for the schools. Such a program could be be offered as a component of physical education or wellness.

Increasing youth participation in outdoors is one of the major issues facing the recreation industry today. If young people are not introduced to these opportunities at an early age, they will engage in other hobbies and interests. Remember, it’s human nature to follow the path of least resistance.

The necessity of fostering the next generation of hunters, anglers, hikers, bikers, climbers, skiers and paddlers is one of the most pressing needs of the current conservation community. Today’s children will be tomorrow's policy makers. They will be making the decisions about the utilization and protection of our shared natural resources.

In order to insure the viability of these lands and waters in the future, we must make efforts in the current day.

erald Dabiew Jr. said he feels lucky to be alive after a near 20-minute battle with a 10-point buck last Friday during which he was repeatedly slammed to the ground by the powerful animal.

“I have never been so scared in all my life,” the 56-year-old said about the harrowing ordeal that transpired near his remote home in Moira — a small community at the northern tip of the Adirondack Park outside Malone.

“I’ve never seen anything like this in my life,” Dabiew said in a low voice, then added “... and I never want to see it again.”

Dabiew said the story unfolded as he was collecting firewood along a log road behind his home. It was early afternoon and clear skies made the job more bearable as he tossed small chunks of wood into the bucket of a skid steer he owns.

A lifelong native of Moira, Dabiew said he paid little attention when a large buck crossed the road in front of him.

After all, he’d seen plenty of deer in the woods near his home, but the sequence of events that was about to play out was something Dabiew had never seen, or heard of before.

“They don’t usually walk right up to you, but this deer was coming right at me,” he recalled.

At 30 feet, the buck lowered his antlers and charged.

Knocked to the ground and fighting for his life, all Dabiew could think was he had to defend himself or the deer was going to kill him.

“So I fought with it. I wrapped my legs around its neck and locked my arms and hands in its horns and squeezed for all I was worth as it pounded me into the ground,” he said.

Minutes seemed like hours as the huge buck continuously picked Dabiew’s 230-pound frame up atop its head and slammed him to the ground, driving him into rocks and stumps.

Exhausted, Dabiew said it was all he could do to hold on, but he was sure the deer would gore him if he let go and adrenaline kept him battling on.

Luckily, Dabiew said he wasn’t the only one getting tired.

“He was tired himself, slowing down and breathing heavy,” Dabiew said. “He couldn’t move his head without moving me with it.”

Eventually, however, Dabiew could hold on no longer, and his grip on the antlers slipped. As he fell backward, he kicked at the deer, causing it to rear up and rake the side of his face with its hooves.

Then, Dabiew saw his opening.

“After that, he walked a few feet away, stopped and just stood there looking back at me. That gave me time to pull myself into the skid steer. I wasn’t about to stick around for anymore,” he said.

Bruised, bloodied and covered in mud, Dabiew used his cell phone to call for help. X-Rays showed no broken bones, but Dabiew was left with cuts and bruises all over his body as well as a gored right hand.

“I’m black and blue from head to toe,” he said.

A longtime corrections officer at Upstate Correctional, Dabiew said he doesn’t scare easy.

“But I knew this thing was trying to kill me,” he said.

“That is a feeling you never forget.”

Dabiew said he cannot speculate what might of provoked the buck. He said a friend suggested the sound of the wood hitting the inside of the skid steer ’s bucket might have sounded like antlers rattling together.

The sound of two bucks fighting often makes a dominant buck aggressive — especially during breeding season, which happens in November in the Adirondacks.

While Dabiew said he has never hunted, he said he’ll think twice before going back in the woods unarmed — especially during breeding season.

“Who would think that the thing would do something like that,” he said. “That deer was pissed.”
