Christmas in Wbgh charms crowd

IN WARRENSBURG

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com

WARRENSBURG Ñ Timothy Wright looked at his father Dave Wright dressed up as Santa Claus, sitting in a wagon Dec. 7 in front of the Warrensburg Town Hall, listening intently to one child after another share their Christmas wishes. The elder Wright prompted one child after another to voice their thoughts and holiday expectations.

WrightÕ s expertise as Santa was not lost on his son, who had toured the various attractions of Christmas in Warrensburgh Ñ including the childrenÕ s craft workshops inside the town hall Ñ and said he was impressed. Ò This event is the most amazing holiday celebration, he said, looking over the town hall filled with dozens of children working on an array of craft projects.

Various people throughout town offered similar sentiments, as the events and activities were increased for 2013, the 25th anniversary of the hometown holiday fest.

Goralski started in his position as of Dec. 1, following the retirement of Tim Lawson, who had served as Warrensburg CentralÕ s superintendent for a decade.

Goralski said that he recently attended a WCS Junior Honor Society induction ceremony, and was impressed not only with the students and parents he encountered, but with the quality of the high school jazz ensembleÕ s performance.

Ò They were just phenomenal,Ó he said, noting that they were equal in ability to any similar group in the region, despite the school having a limited enrollment.

This group, he said illustrated the level of competence and high standards upheld by the WCS school district. Ò There are a lot of great things happening in this school system, whether itÕ s CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

Citizens living near the planned boat launch at the southeast corner of the lake said the town should demand that the state submit its extensive redevelopment plans for Million Dollar Beach Ñ and its reconstructed parking lot, planned boat washing station and boat launch concept Ñ to local site plan review.

The multi-million-dollar redevelopment plans include building a new parking lot several feet higher

THURMAN — Cory Gazaille, who’s been studying fimmaking after graduating from Johnsburg High School in 2010, is seeking to produce a ski film shot in the lower Adirondacks.

On Dec. 6, Gazaille, who was raised in Thurman, discussed his ideas and shared his plans for the undertaking.

Rather than make the routine ski action film that shows one stunt after another, Gazaille is seeking to give people a taste of life in the lower Adirondacks, offer a glimpse into the local culture, while portraying the beauty of the landscape here.

Also, he plans to accomplish it with flourishes of cinematic style normally reserved for narrative filmmaking rather than documentaries, he said, noting that he intends to market the finished work to various film festivals Ò I not only want to give insights into life here, but I want to explore how rural life the Adirondacks is so different than metropolitan areas,Ó he said. Ò ItÕ s remarkable that everything is so different, yet we are within driving distance from AlbanyÓ Martin Fahy and Ben Richards of North Creek, as well as Liam Harrison of North River are to be skier-actors in the film, Gazaille said. Vinny Varsalona of New Jersey has been lined up as a cinematographer. Gazaille is to serve as writer, director of photography and producer.

After graduation from Johnsburg High, GazailleÕ s been attending the Savannah School of Art & Design in Georgia. HeÕ s in his senior year at the college.

Already, he’s shot and produced a two short films with a similar approach, one on skateboarding and the other on kayaking.

Gazaille, who attended Warrensburg High School for a short time years ago, said he’s intending to shoot the ski film on Gore Mountain and other area slopes. Ò I know the area and its resources and the local people,Ó he said.

If equipment and sponsors are lined up in several weeks, he may start shooting initial sequences of the film as early as late January, he said. Ò People up in our area are more connected with the natural environment, and I want to communicate that,Ó he said. Ò Through this film, I want to bring others back to nature.”

Crowd turns out for fundraiser held by local boy stricken with rare extreme-pain disorder

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ A 13-year-old boy from northern Warren County has been stricken with a rare chronic disease that causes episodes of horrible, nearly unbearable pain Ñ and dozens of people from the region jammed HeidiÕ s Clip Joint Dec. 7 to get their hair cut and support a fundraiser that the boy and his mother organized.

Although the family of Timothy Lucid of Adirondack is facing considerable medical bills due to the condition, Timothy and his mother Kerry Lucid are donating the money to research toward a cure. All proceeds are going to research Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, both neuropathic autoimmune disorders.

The response of people reading about his condition in the Adirondack Journal was so great that the salon had standing-roomonly for hours on Saturday.

Present at the event was Timothy Lucid, a top-performing 8thgrade student at North Warren Central, greeting people as they came in the salon, thanking for their participation in the fundraiser. He was backed up by schoolmate John Riley, who helps Timothy get around at North Warren, and Dylan Nicholson of Lake George, another friend who played on TimothyÕ s Little League baseball team several years ago. Ò There are a ton of people, and this is a really good turnout,Ó Timothy said as he checked in people at the door. Ò ItÕ s so nice to see the community rally around this cause and help out so generously.Ó Haircuts were $10 each, but many people donated far beyond that amount. Drawings were held for gift baskets containing various items, services, and gift certificates donated by various area businesses. All proceeds go to RSDS.org and RSDHOPE.org, a non-profit organization that assists families in getting the support they need to cope with this life-altering disorder.

Timothy was recently diagnosed with RSD after surgery for a fractured elbow. Timothy was an All-Star pitcher with an impressive fastball before being stricken with this devastating condition, for which there is apparently no cure known at this point.

Last week, Timothy said he was motivated to launch this fundraiser to help others with the condition, as well as raise awareness about its devastation. Ò IÕ m not alone in this disease Ñ there are 50,000 new cases diagnosed each year, and these other people need as much help as I do.Ó

He said many of those stricken with RSD are children. Ò Kids as well as adults need to get help so they can get on with their lives.Ó Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy causes burning, electric-shocktype pain to the arm or leg, extreme swelling and possible loss of use of a limb or more if not caught in time.

The intermittent pain can be so intense that it often causes blackouts or temporary paralysis. There is no cure, only the possibility of remission.

Kerry Lucid, a beautician at HeidiÕ s, was busy with haircuts until about 5:30 p.m., 90 minutes past the time the fundraiser was to be concluded. Also cutting hair were salon staff members Jade Leonbruno, Courtney Beadnell, and Sarah Tyrell. Proprietor Heidi Baker was out of town for the weekend.

Kerry Lucid said she was thrilled with the participation from people across the region, and there was a lot of excitement in the salon for nearly 8 hours. Ò It was amazing that in the short time we spent planning the fundraiser that we got the support we did,Ó she said. Ò Times are hard, and for so many people to support a cause for a syndrome that they probably never heard of is really unbelievable.Ó

Fred Griffen III and his wife Sara Griffen of Pottersville brought their children Fred IV, 10 and Abigail, 11 to the Cut-AThon. Ò TimÕ s a great kid, very well liked in the community, and weÕ re happy to help as much as we can,Ó Sara Griffen said.

Cutting the hair of Kylee Granger of Pottersville, Courtney Beadnell snipped a lock of hair as Kylee looked in the mirror. Ò ItÕ s satisfying to put my skills to good use,Ó she said with a smile. Ò This is all so positive, very exciting.Ó Kylee, a North Warren student known for participating in various charities, added her thoughts. Ò This is a great opportunity to help someone out in the community,Ñ and TimothyÕ s really nice and thoughtful,Ó she said.

Tim Lucid Sr. helped out by conducting the basket raffle.

The morning of the fundraiser, several people showed up unannounced at the Lucid home, and as their contribution to the cause, split wood for the family, to provide heat this winter. Ò This is great,Ó Lucid said, noting both the Cut-a-Thon and the wood splitting work. Ò ItÕ s wonderful how in a small community

Peg Edwards, Lake George historian, named ‘Citizen of Year’

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Busy in her compact office in the Lake George Village hall Dec. 9, Margaret Ò PegÓ Edwards opened a letter inquiring about an early-1800s artist that may have resided in Lake George.

“People contact me, trying to find out about a relative, and I conduct research, trying to connect the dots Ñ but you donÕ t always get the dots to work with,Ó she said.

Edwards, 80 years young, is retiring effective Dec. 31 as Lake George Town and Village Historian Ñ a position sheÕ s held for the past quarter century.

Edwards said the time has flown past since she started in 1979 as the municipalities’ official historian. She took on the post after former historian Lee Montena, a friend at church, asked her if she would like to take over for her. Ò I didnÕ t believe I had worked for 25 years until they told me,Ó she said. Ò I really enjoy reviewing old photographs and manuscripts.Ó In honor of her many years of service, the Village of Lake George has named Edwards the 2013 Lake George Citizen of the Year.

This week, Village Mayor Robert Blais praised Edwards for her many years of tracking down historical and genealogical information for others.

Ò Peg is certainly deserving of the award,Ó he said. Ò SheÕ s been a very diligent, reliable and dependable source of information about our community, and she will be sorely missed,Ó he said.

Edwards said she was drawn to the position because she always had an interest in history. She noted that throughout her life, she enjoyed reading historical non-fiction. Ò I was born in a historical place, so it was natural for me to enjoy history,Ó she said.

Edwards has been working in both the town and village offices maintaining historical data — housed in separate buildings Ñ relating to each municipality.

Her collection of photos, newspaper articles and memorabilia has brought bygone days to life for so many people with local ties, Blais said. SheÕ s also answered thousands of inquiries from residents and visitors over the years.

Also, Edwards would often attend special occasions armed with her camera to record history in the making.

Recently, the town and village received a grant to consolidate the offices under one roof and have agreed to move all records to a newly renovated space in the town offices. A state archive grant is funding 80 percent of the project. The local share of the grant is the dollar value of the labor provided by village and town employees in constructing modern storage facilities.

Margi Mannix, a long-time village resident and granddaughter of former historian Margaret Mannix, has accepted a provisional appointment to assist in the transition while offices are being consolidated, Blais said.

Lake George Town & Village Historian Margaret “Peg” Edwards talks Dec. 9 about how she enjoys her work tracking down historical information for area residents and visitors. Edwards was named the Lake George Citizen of the Year for 2013 by the village board.

Among the changes to take place is the computerization of historical records in the office.

In the meantime, Edwards will be learning to operate a computer, she said. Ò My family wanted me to retire,Ó she said. Ò But IÕ m planning to learn about how to run a computer anyway.Ó

Crowd drawn to Brant Lake for holiday fest

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com BRANT LAKE Ñ Santa may have been a no-show this weekend in this rural lakeside town, but the Christmas spirit was thriving regardless.

No less than 220 children showed up Dec. 8 for the Christmas in Brant Lake event to create holiday crafts Ñ considerably more than the routine annual number.

Sunday afternoon, the Horicon town hall was packed to capacity with area youth Ñ plus their parents Ñ as children fashioned decorations or gifts and decorated holiday cookies at more than a dozen different craft stations manned by 30 or so volunteer instructors.

Mid-afternoon, Chestertown preteen Olivia Slater had her hands stuck into a bowl filled with a concoction of green shredded wheat, glue and sparkles. She winced as she kneaded the colorful mess.

“At first, I was like ‘Uuuugh,” but it’s not so bad now,” she said of her task. The spiky green mixture was being formed into thick circles by children, adorned with decorations Ñ and the outcome was an ornament looking remarkably like a holiday wreath. Ò ItÕ s really amazing,Ó Olivia continued. Ò IÕ ve never done this

before.Ó At a table nearby, her friend Katelyn Turano created decorated candle holders, fashioning them out of glass jars. Her mother Cindy Turano noted that the staff at the town of Chester landfill provided the many dozens of jars, retrieving them out of recycleables bins over the past several weeks.

Not far away, children made snowmen ornaments out of baby socks stuffed with polyester batting. Event organizer Kira Studler explained that the adults and teens staffing the craft tables and providing instruction brought their own ideas and supplied the materials needed.

Tom Johansen presided at a table where reindeer ornaments were made with wooden spoons, to which children attached googly eyes, and brown pipe cleaners for antlers.

Barbara Blum helped children make a different style reindeer ornament, constructed from wine corks that people in the community saved for months.

The event was sponsored by the Friends of the Horicon Library. Community groups including the Horicon Volunteer Fire Co. Auxiliary and the Krafty Kritters helped staff the event.

Auxiliary members brewed up the Ò snowman soupÓ that was handed out Ñ the concoction of hot chocolate, marshmallows and HersheyÕ s kisses, stirred up with a candy cane. The liquid confection gave the children the Ò sugar buzzÓ that fueled their creativity.

Two area children stuff baby socks with polyester batting to make snowmen ornaments during the annual Christmas in Brant Lake craft session held Dec. 8. Teaching the youth how to make these particular holiday decorations were Tammie LeGuerre and Kim Olden, both of Chestertown.

This craft was one of dozens dreamed up by volunteers from Horicon and Chester.

In an email this week, Sally Joiner of the Friends of the Horicon Library explained that Santa had to skip Brant Lake this year because of his workload. Ò There are so many children that are asking for special gifts this year that Santa is working overtime to see that they are all ordered and delivered on time,Ó she said.

But regardless of SantaÕ s absence, event organizers said they had a record turnout for this beloved traditional event in northern Warren County.

Studler looked at the standing-room-only crowd in the the town hall with dozens of children working on various crafts. Ò WeÕ ve got a well-oiled machine going here,Ó she said. Ò And the turnout is really amazing considering Santa wasnÕ t here this year Ñ It didnÕ t really make a difference!Ó Next up for upcounty holiday fun is a program, also sponsored by the Friends of Horicon Library, in which children and their parents gather at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 13 at the Horicon Town Hall to make decorations for a live miniature Christmas tree, Joiner said. Ò Children can take this potted Christmas tree home for their families, deliver it to a shut-in, or give it to a special friend or neighbor,Ó she said. Ò All are welcome to join us for what will be a fun and festive evening.Ó Families participating in this upcoming session are asked to call event organizer Barbara Blum at 494-3357 or send an email to blblooms@aol.com so appropriate advance preparations can be made.

Guest Viewpoint

Support the ‘preferred alternative’ EditorÕ s Note: At the time of this printing, the Adirondack Park Agency was poised to make an historic classification of thousands of acres of former Finch Pruyn land, known as the Essex Chain of Lakes. The following is a joint statement from Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Chairman William Farber and Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randall Douglas regarding a new proposed classification known as the ‘preferred alternative.’

T

he proposed APA Classification map released last week for the Essex Chain of Lakes sustains some key recreational priorities for Essex and Hamilton counties, particularly within the five towns that represent the Upper Hudson River Hub while providing protections for the most sensitive environmental areas.

The establishment of a Wild Forest designation for key portions of the property will enhance recreational connections between our towns, and therefore economic opportunity for all of them. Plus, as we sustain the opportunity to connect these communities to the Forest Preserve, we cater to a broad group of recreational users and tie in our businesses back to the opportunity of the natural resource.

Of particular importance to our communities has been: * Connecting the communities directly together, for recreational opportunities from mountain biking to snowmobiling * Assuring the general public access which is close and proximate to the Essex Chain, the Cedar River, and the Hudson River The packet released appears to assure the opportunities for those priorities and much more!

The recommendation represents a tremendous amount of hard work, collaboration and compromises on the parts of the local communities, stakeholders, the APA and the state Department of Environmental Conservation. The result is a classification map which appears to weave together a rich maze of public comments, while achieving natural resource protection and fostering future economic opportunity.

Breaking down traditional parochial boundaries and thinking is not easy, particularly in the Adirondacks. The efforts that these five towns have made to come together, plan together and, frankly, stand together, should be applauded and emulated going forward. The local governments deserve particular credit for their efforts to invite public input through community meetings, to foster productive dialogue through group planning exercises and, yes, to take the time to listen and understand the positions of those with differing views.

When it comes to the Adirondacks being heard, this stands as a great success.

It would appear that the State Agencies have been listening to all of us, as have Elected Officials right up to Governor Cuomo. It must be noted, that Governor CuomoÕ s willingness to come to the Park yet again, and listen to the concerns of the people involved, deserves our deep gratitude. Beyond that, Governor Cuomo demonstrated a deep understanding of Adirondack Park dynamic, when he suggested that Adirondack leaders should be talking more directly to each other. Governor CuomoÕ s view, that there existed an opportunity here, to respect the highest priority needs of the towns and the highest priorities of the environmental constituencies, may be about to play out, for the betterment of the Adirondack Park.

Did our communities and constituents get everything we wanted in the proposed Essex Chain designation? Of course not! Nor should anyone have expected that one parcel of land could ultimately be classified in a way that would allow it to be everything for everyone. But the opportunities that could soon be before Essex and Hamilton Counties to provide unparalleled recreational opportunities and spur important new economic activity are exciting and historic, and set the stage for a much brighter future for our communities.

Essex and Hamilton counties are the only two counties located entirely within the Adirondack Park, and represent more than 2.4 million of the ParkÕ s total 6 million acres. Adirondack Park. Even more significant, roughly 45 percent of Essex County and roughly 65 percent of Hamilton County are made up of state Forest Preserve land.

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden

•100 years ago - Dec., 1913• Brilliant lawyer commits murder

With fiendish brutality, Edward F. Hitchcock, 62, a Kingsbury farmer, on the night of Dec. 4, 1913, murdered his brother-in-law Henry Norton, 52, who lived with him in the little hamlet five miles north of Hudson Falls. Hitchcock attacked his victim while he was asleep in his room and crushed his head with a seven-pound sledge-hammer.

The crime was discovered by the murdererÕ s son, Adolphus Hitchcock upon his return from church at 11 a.m. He notified authorities and his parent was arrested and lodged in the Washington County Jail in Hudson Falls.

No motive for the manÕ s horrible crime is known and he is believed to be insane by the fact that he was confined in the Matteawan asylum several years ago after he had threatened to kill several persons.

When Adolphus Hitchcock, 21, returned home from church, he found his father at the barn harnessing a horse with the apparent intention of going away. His actions were peculiar and the young man sought the reason. Near the wagon he discovered a sledge hammer which was covered with blood near a satchel packed with his fatherÕ s belongings. With considerable difficulty he induced his parent to enter the house and go to bed.

Calling to his uncle and receiving no reply, he went to NortonÕ s bedroom and found the dead body in the bed, the clothing of which was saturated with blood, while the head was crushed and hammered almost to a pulp. The son notified the Justice of the Peace and police went to the farm and took the murderer to jail.

Hitchcock was formerly a brilliant lawyer in New York but succumbed to drink and was committed. For many years he had eked out a living at farming in Kingsbury. His wife ran a boarding house about three miles from his home. Henry Norton, whose sister had married Hitchcock, was a widower and had been living with his brother-in-law for some time. He leaves a son and a daughter.

At the hearing it was revealed that Hitchcock had been drinking all day Saturday and had quarreled with Norton that day. He had ordered him from his residence a year ago, but the latter came back a few months later and they had been unfriendly for some time.

Hunter loses leg, but rabbits dodge injury

With a gunshot wound in his right leg, received accidentally while hunting rabbits, Charles Armstrong of Riverside on Sunday afternoon, was hurried to an automobile on route to the Glens Falls Hospital and immediately after arriving there had the member amputated at the knee. He stood the shock well and is making good progress toward recovery.

Mr. Armstrong started out Sunday morning, with Cecil Waddell and Frank Hewitt of Johnsburgh, to hunt rabbits in that town. After walking quite a distance they became tired and sat down on a log to rest. In some accountable manner HewittÕ s gun was discharged and the contents entered ArmstrongÕ s leg.

Dr. W.W. Aldrich of Wevertown and Dr. Lee Somerville, of North Creek were hurriedly summoned to the scene of the accident and dressed the wound. They agreed that amputation was necessary and advised the manÕ s immediate removal to the hospital and an automobile was quickly secured for that purpose.

The injured man is 27 years old, as young as his friend, Frank Hewitt, who is grief-stricken over the accident.

Unfortunate day for local boy

Guy Wilkinson, the young son of Dr. and Mrs. W.F. Wilkinson, fell from his bicycle while riding down WarrensburghÕ s Main Street on Saturday Dec. 6, 1913 and struck with considerable force on the brick pavement. Two of his front teeth were broken off after cutting through both lips. Earlier in the day he was injured slightly while playing basketball.

Remarkable old lady

One of the most interesting old women resid-

ing in northern New York is Mrs. Laura Gilmore, widow of James R. Gilmore, author and one of the peace envoys sent by President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War to urge Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederates states, to terminate the war in a peaceful way. Mr. Gilmore was employed as a writer on the New York Tribune. He was one of the founders of the Continental Monthly and was much admired

by Horace Greeley, owner of the Tribune. Mr. Gilmore was the author of many books. It was his book, “Among the Pines” that first brought Mr. Gilmore into the lime light.

Mrs. Gilmore, 82, bright and active for her advanced age, resides at 7 Pine St., Glens Falls.

She is the daughter of the late Judge J.W. Edmonds, once one of the most prominent supreme court justices in the state. Mrs. Gilmore is most always in a reminiscent mood and loves to show off her husbandÕ s books and to recant many interesting stories of the notable careers and great work done by her husband and father.

The death of George W. Bates

George W. Bates, 70, of Lake George, died at his home there and his funeral will be held at St. James Episcopal Church, the Rev. E.M. Parrott officiating. Mr. Bates was a lifelong resident of Lake George. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he joined the 22nd Infantry Regiment, New York Volunteers and served in Co. B throughout the war. In his active years, he was a carpenter of more than ordinary skill and a contractor and builder. Some of the finest cottages on the lake shore were erected under his careful supervision.

The deceased was twice married, his first wife dying some 25 years ago. Some years later he married Miss Eliva Fox, of Lake George, who, with one daughter, Louise, survived him. He was the brother of Samuel M. Bates of Lake George. (Note: Captain George W. Bates was also a well-known boat-builder. In 1912 he plied the waters of Lake George in his homemade gasoline gondola. In this column in the June 8, 2013 Adirondack Journal was the story how Bates disappeared in 1913 after he lost his memory and was missing for several days at

Gettysburg during a Civil War reunion.)

News roundabout

Pete Monroe, farmer and weather prophet of Hayesburgh, Horicon, says Ò Expect little snow this winter, as wasps built nests last fall in the ground.Ó During a period of 10 months, ending Nov. 1, 1913, County Treasurer Beecher W. Sprague took in $587.75 for hedgehog and rattlesnake bounties. Of this amount, only $100 was for snakes.

The Fort William Henry toboggan site in Lake George is now under construction and will be completed by the time the lake freezes.

Carter Pasco recently killed a hog that weighed 617 pounds dressed. This is undoubtedly the biggest porker produced in this section in some years. The pig was fed on grain.

D.B. Jenks of Valley Farm, Chestertown said potatoes were the most abundant of any crop raised by him this year.

With the burning of Dr. MageeÕ s summer home at Loon Lake, old furniture and other heirlooms of sentimental rather than commercial value were destroyed to the great disappointment of the family.(Note: This mystery was told in the Nov. 16, 2013 Adirondack Journal.)

There will be a donation party at the parsonage in Darrowsville the evening of Dec. 18, 1913 for the benefit of Mrs. Anna Young, whose husband recently died of pneumonia leaving her in destitute circumstances. It is hoped that a large attendance will be present to leave a large donation.

William Tobin of Bolton Landing is having a piazza built on his house. W.W. Janser of Chestertown is having a slate roof placed on his residence.

Thomas Collard of Newcomb is laid up with blood poisoning in his thumb. A son was born in Athol on Dec. 18, 1913 at the home of Clarence Brown. The stork left a lovely baby girl with Mrs. Joseph Mahoney at Friends Lake.

Letters to the Editor

Thanks and farewell, Sarah!

To the Adirondack Journal: When I moved to Warrensburg ten years ago it wasnÕ t long before I went to the library for a card and a book. The first thing I noticed as I walked to the front door, was a great flower bed compliments of Sarah Farrar.

Passing by it again and again over the years, I was able to see all the beautiful flowers and was astonished to see my first red trillium. I brought my husband down to see it as well.

The library has a homey feel to it. Not messy, more a work in progress. I met many front-desk people, not by name (including Sarah) and always wondered who the library director was. I heard it was Sarah Farrar, but which one was Sarah?

Sarah is like that, very down to earth, not at all presumptuous.

Always ready with a quick reply to my light-hearted sarcasm.

She made it fun to visit the library Ñ - IÕ m going to miss her presence.

Farewell, Sarah!

Donna Flanagan Warrensburg

A community with heart To the Adirondack Journal: I am the volunteer director of the Johnsburg Food Pantry in North Creek and I wanted to share some recent experiences I have had. As with all other food pantries in the area, ours has had a decrease in funding and an increase in the number of families needing our services. As a result, our shelves are often depleted after a Tuesday distribution, leaving us wondering how we will be able to get enough food to feed all of those in our community who need it. Several amazing things have happened to make our continuing possible.

First, the local churches throughout the Johnsburg community have created a non-ending stream of donations on a regular basis all year. Recently, the local Cub Scout troop did a collection and when I walked into the pantry building after theyÕ d dropped off their collection, I burst into tears. They had gathered enough food to fill all of our tables. I was absolutely awed by the overwhelming generosity of the members of our own community who give through their churches and gave to the Cub Scouts and filled our shelves.

Knowing our problem from the ‘inside’, several of our volunteers made crafts using their own time and creativity to sell and raise additional monies. In addition, the Lights On Committee gave us a table at the Copperfield last weekend and we collected even more food and financial donations.

Finally, each year, Gore Mountain discounts skiers tickets in return for a food donation and so far this year, we have had several vans full of non-perishable foods donated through Gore.

This weekend, the small North River Church will assemble 150 plates of homemade Christmas cookies to be included in the Christmas dinner baskets the pantry will be distributing. The people of our community and organizations like our churches and Gore Mountain have assured that we will be able to feed our deserving community members through 2013. Where else would one find such caring and generosity but in this wonderful North Country community of Johnsburg?

The Pantry isnÕ t out of the woods yet, and will continue to need such caring donations in order to manage in 2014, but IÕ m feeling so full of love and caring for all that these various individuals and organizations have done to help others. I hope everyone who has given will celebrate the holidays this year with warmth in their hearts knowing that theyÕ ve made a difference for so many of their neighbors. I feel so proud to live in a community with such a big heart.

Anita L. Abrams, North River

Reaction to viewpoint To the Adirondack Journal: The Viewpoint by Dalton of CFES was a diatribe about the cost of a college education. DaltonÕ s presentation gave short shrift to the factors affecting the pricing of college tuition and used statistics in a questionable fashion.

For example, he states that Ò over the past five years, tuition at public four-year colleges increased 27 percent beyond inflation while at private colleges that increase is 13 percent.Ó There are three problems here. First, private tuition has been market priced. Public colleges have tuition subsidized by the stateÕ s tax payers.

Second, tuition is paid in dollars. The 27 percent increase in public college tuition since 2008 is about $1900, while that for a private college would be $3600 for the 13 percent increase.

Third, the states have cut their support for public higher education from around 75 percent to 20 percent or less of the collegesÕ instruction budgets. Reported cuts for this year include: CA: 20, PA: 19, NH: 20-plus. Additionally, the Federal government has cut funding to colleges. As state and federal subsidizing of colleges declines, you can expect tuition at public colleges to approach market prices.

Dalton: Ò . . . have failed to curb spending on bricks and mortar . . . Ó At state colleges it takes 4-6 years for buildings to go from proposal to completion. New construction has to be approved at the state level. Building needs recognized in 2008 would be coming on line this year, just in time to provide space for the additional students arising from the CFES programs.

Other Dalton issues include tenured professors and too much spending on technology. The tenure matter is a discussion for a separate letter. Suffice to say that tenure is not the same as seniority in a union shop. Ò Too much technologyÓ ? What should these colleges provide, clay tablets and a pointed sticks?

Many state universities are municipalities. Many have populations larger than any municipality in Essex or Clinton County: 20,000 or more students. Because they were established by state legislatures in rural areas, many provide water, sewer, fire, police, EMT, garbage removal, road repair, building and grounds maintenance, adjudication and other services one might find in a municipality. Those costs increase as state support decreases. As the university Ò ownsÓ the land, property tax revenue is not possible. Universities have to meet state and federal codes, mandates and so on, many of which do not apply to private colleges.

Dalton applauds the proposed federal college rating system. But, one need not wait for the government to rank colleges. The U.S. News and World Report and SmartMoney periodicals are doing this. Also, there are ratings out for the best programs in many fields, compiled by the respective professional organizations, for example: engineering, architecture, etc.

At the annual Christmas party meeting of the Bolton Book Club on Dec. 5, the members collected $185 to donate to the Bolton Health Committee for the purchase of books for distribution at Christmas to the children.

The book club has supported the Health CommitteeÕ s work for many years and their donation is greatly appreciated Ñ as is the work of the committee, which boosts the lives of dozens of area families annually.

The Bolton Health Committee received a major donation this year from ChrissyÕ s Fund - a not-forprofit organization created by Mark and Linda Perry in remembrance of MarkÕ s daughter who died in an vehicle accident many years ago. The annual ChrissyÕ s Chairs fundraiser, sponsored by the same organization, is well-known in the area. Mark and Linda donate to many local groups and individuals during time of need.

This donation to the Health Committee is to be used to fund a new project of the group. Household boxes of useful items will be distributed to each family this year, along with gift certificates for food, and clothing and toys for the children. Recipients will be getting laundry detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, soap, napkins, dish detergent, and various other cleaning products. This major contribution was warmly welcomed by the Health Committee.

Help with heating bills available

Again this year, the Bolton Landing Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the Ò Heat Our NeighborÓ

program. Thanks to the generosity of the community and the Chamber members this program has been a success annually since 2005.

This year the program was kicked off at FrederickÕ s Restaurant during the ChamberÕ s Christmas dinner on Dec. 10. Those interested in donating or are a Bolton resident in need of assistance, call Elaine at 644-3831.

Christmas in Warrensburg from page 1

many local residents and visitors Ñ a Living Nativity, with parishioners of three local churches posing as shepherds, wise men, Mary and Joseph attending the birth of Jesus.

Several dozen members of the local Free Methodist, United Methodist and Presbyterian churches took half-hour shifts as actors in the holy scenario. Church members also crafted the authenticlooking costumes, and Pete Redfield of the Warrensburg First Presbyterian Church built the creche out of timber from his back yard, according to Nancy Barrows of the local Free Methodist Church.

She and Ricci Redfield, Pete’s wife, organized the Living Nativity along with Stephen Andrews of the Warrensburg First United Methodist Church of Warrensburg. The scene was complete with baby goats and a donkey provided by Nettle Meadow Farm in Thurman, Christmas in Warrensburg founder Teresa Whalen said. Ò It was a wonderful, uplifting addition to the community celebration,Ó Barrows said. Ò It helped people reflect on the deeper meaning of Christmas and what love is all about.”

Farther up Main St., various artisans had their crafts set up on tables at the annual festivalÕ s new Indoor Holiday Market in the town senior center.

Out on the porch, Mary Landenberger spun wool to be used in her handcrafted goods, including her free-form felted scarves. Earlier in the day, wreath-making workshops had been conducted on the porch. Inside, her mother Pat Leonard signed and sold copies of her book “Tranfiguration.”

Nearby, Donna Wormwood had a display of her intriguing, intricate miniature Adirondack camp furniture, made of tiny twigs, acorn caps, dried moss, bark and other natural items she painstakingly collects in the woods. Penny Down of West Mountain offered an array of her crocheted rugs, and Maureen Tuttle of Warrensburg demonstrated her Ò tattingÓ skills as she wove lace doilies and other similar goods while people watched.

Michelle Whitefield of Whitefield’s Farm manned a display of their naturally-raised meats. Julie Gallup Harrington, of J. Gallup Farm in Warrensburg, sold her baked goods and pickles. Kay Allen of Thurman displayed and sold her Raggedy Ann dolls, ranging from miniatures to three feet tall.

Sunday, Mike Irish of Warrensburg and Joshua Kerr of Broadalbin carved tree trunks into fanciful natural creatures in front of the local home furnishings store, The Bear Cupboard.

Both children and adults enjoyed mule-drawn wagon rides uptown, courtesy of Our Simple Life Farm.

The church bazaars, tree lighting ceremony, Breakfasts with Santa and other activities were also well appreciated.

Whalen said she was particularly impressed by the concert of carols and religious anthems sung at a concert presented by Jim Corriveau and Friends. Corriveau is the drama coach and vocal instructor at Warrensburg High School.

Whalen said she was touched when the audience spontaneously joined CorriveauÕ s group in singing carols. Ò It was so magical,Ó Whalen said.

The day was complete for Whalen, she said, when she went home and saw a local resident post photos and comments on Facebook. Ò She said she loved how Christmas was celebrated in our little town, and that sums it up for me,Ó Whalen said. Ò ....With togetherness, in the true spirit of the holiday.Ó

Among those posing as characters in a living nativity on Dec. 7 in Warrensburg, were (left to right): (left to right): Arlinda Birdsall, Rich Bailey, Kately Allen, Mikelean Allen, Adam Allen, and (not shown): Heather Turner, Cindy Bailey, Sue McKinney and Caroline Fuller. The nativity scene, staged in front of Alexander Funeral Home, drew considerable attention during Saturday’s installment of Christmas in Warrensburg — prompting motorists to pull over and dozens of people to stop, reflect, and take photos.

Boat Launch from page 1

promised swimming safety, bothersome noise at all hours, and environmental degradation near their shoreline properties.

Local residents had noted that the area of the lake where the Department of Environmental Conservation is seeking to relocate its boat launch is habitat for various unusual wildlife species, is too shallow to safely launch a boat, and is so close to private beaches that swimmers would be at risk of death or dismemberment.

Lake George Town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson said that the state had determined its plans werenÕ t subject to either its own State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) process, nor would it be submitting its plans to the townÕ s site plan review, which is required of all individuals, commercial enterprises and governmental entities, according to town law.

Dickinson said the state was acting on the advice of its own lawyers, but the townÕ s lawyers disagreed.

When some in the audience asked about the feasibility of a lawsuit, Dickinson said he sought to collaborate with the state, as they were investing heavily into the Million Dollar Beach project, which includes installing innovative porous pavement, curbing stormwater runoff, and boosting pedestrian safety through re-design of access roadways.

The project includes traffic pattern changes Ñ including the construction of a roundabout and the conversion of a roadway beside the beach from one-way traffic to two-way. The changes are intended to abate traffic snarls, backups and boost safety. A new drop-off point for people headed to the beachÕ s bathhouse will replace a crosswalk that now poses a danger to the public, officials have said.

The citizens living near the proposed site of the boat launch, however, asked the town to pass a resolution telling the state they must submit their plans to the town board for their review.

Peter Keating of Rose Point Lane, spokesman for the group opposing the launch, erupted in anger when the board balked at making such a demand.

“You elected officials ought to back us,” he said.

Town Code Enforcement Officer Rob Hickey

www.adirondackjournal.com said the state had already set a legal precedent by initially refusing in 2006 to submit non-conforming local stormwater abatement plans to public review, then complying and subjecting them to review. The stateÕ s new plans represent a radical change that needs such review, he said. Ò Their plans trigger every criteria for town review,Ó Hickey said.

Town Baord member Marisa Muratori also said the DECÕ s plans ought to be reviewed by local citizens. Ò TheyÕ re not acting in good faith if they donÕ t come before the planning board and go through the review process,Ó she said.

Keating accused the state of moving forward on its plans at a time of year when most residents were gone, to minimize public opposition. Ò The area property owners think the boat launch is getting shoved down their throats,Ó he said, noting that DEC regulations require a commercial boat launch to be further than 500 feet away from a designated swimming area, yet DEC officials are planning to locate the new one within 200 and 300 feet of local residentsÕ swimming areas. Ò We are nervous about trusting DEC,Ó he said.

Resident Vinnie Spitzer distributed a map showing that he had an approved boat-mooring point about 100 feet from where the launch is proposed. Ò DEC is just pushing us around,Ó he said.

Dickinson said the town had contacted state Sen. Betty Little and state Assemblyman Dan Stec, expressing their opposition to the boat launch relocation.

The possibility the launch and an accompanying boat-washing station might be open 24 hours per day also sparked concern.

Dickinson said he opposed any launch at Million Dollar Beach, because of not only the problem of conflict with swimmers and congestion of boats and trailers, but because it would allow for the introduction of more invasive species, which the area municipalities are battling Ñ an expensive fight that taxpayers are shouldering. Ò There are enough public and private launches to launch everybodyÕ s boat Ñ we donÕ t need another,Ó he said. Ò The DEC ought to concentrate on the beach.Ó Town Board member Vincent Crocitto said that collaboration and persuasion would accomplish more than legal confrontation. Ò WeÕ re going to move forward on this,Ó he pledged.

academics, the music program, or the drama club,Ó he said. Ò WarrensburgÕ s schools have so much potential and so much to offer Ñ and people are very proud of the community here.Ó Goralski said he spent months observing the school system and conducting research into Warrensburg before taking on the job.

He said he learned that Warrensburg CentralÕ s academic standards are high, the staff is dedicated and the teachers inspire students to perform well and either continue their studies at well-respected colleges, or delve into rewarding careers. Ò For a school with a small student body, a lot of students end up going to very prestigious colleges, and thatÕ s very impressive,Ó he said.

Also, the school and its community are adept at dealing with adversity, he continued.

Goralski said heÕ s heard the school leaders, staff, the community and the school district taxpayers remained dedicated to education during the recent recession, and they continued providing and supporting a top-quality program. Ò The success the school system has experienced in tough economic times is a testament not only to the staff, but the support the school received from people in the community,Ó he said.

Goralski has pursued various careers over the last 30 years. He graduated from SUNY Plattsburgh in 1983 with a degree in Environmental Science and Planning, and took a job as a site developer with a construction company in Boston. He then moved on to development work in Lowell Mass., which included rehabilitating an old mill building. Later, he owned his own construction company, then moved to Queensbury in 1988, where he initially worked for the municipal government as a planner.

Goralski moved on to work locally for Richard Jones Associates Architects, then took a job as code enforcement officer for the town of Queensbury.

Goralski then decided to change careers, so he went back to school and received a Masters Degree in teaching in 1998 and took a job as a 4th grade teacher at Abraham Wing elementary, he said.

“I was looking for something more fulfilling,Ó he said.

From there, he took a job teaching third grade at Queensbury Elementary school, and then he

John Goralski was named Assistant Principal and Committee on Special Education chairman at Queensbury — and he served in that role for five years.

Following that tenure, he moved on to the position of principal at Stillwater Elementary, serving there for six and a half years before taking the superintendent post in Warrensburg.

Goralski said he became interested in the WCS post through being acquainted with WCS High School Principal Doug Duell and Elementary Principal Amy Langworthy through their mutual association with BOCES. Ò I then researched the school and community, and I was very impressed,Ó he said.

The big challenge ahead for the school district, he said, is to maintain quality programs while curbing tax growth Ñ all in the face of shrinking state aid. He said that the Warrensburg School District has lost $4 million in state aid over the last four years.

Among the initiatives Goralski is considering is to aggressively seek out federal, state and private grants, and work with local government for opportunities for shared services. He also envisions collaborating with educational institutions like SUNY Adirondack and SUNY Plattsburgh Ñ to expand opportunities for local students to pursue specialized and advanced programs, as well as to provide teachers with professional development options.

Also, he and other school officials have talked of expanding the use of the WCS Distance Learning classroom for more subjects than are now offered.

Also, he wants to enhance career training opportunities for local students that are not headed off for college Ñ while enhancing programs for academically advanced students. Ò My vision is to continue on that path and make the Warrensburg Schools the best that they can be Ñ and serve as a model for other schools in the Adirondacks,Ó he said.
