Santa visits both young and old

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — Six years before Elvis expired and only two years after man landed on the moon, a worker at International Paper Co.’s Ticonderoga mill decided to run for Hague Town Highway Superintendent.

In a town that is a Republican stronghold, the young man ran as an Independent, and he beat both a G.O.P and Democratic candidate.

This November 1971 election started the long tenure of public service for Dan Belden, who 20 years later became the Supervisor of the Town of Hague. His service in this post extends through Dec. 31.

Belden and four other outgoing Warren County supervisors were praised Dec. 16 for their service to area citizens. Besides Belden, recognized were Queensbury supervisors Fred Champagne and William VanNess, Johnsburg Supervisor Sterling Goodspeed and Lake George Supervisor Frank McCoy. CONTINUED ON PAGE 20

should be informed of how such a development could effect the quality of life here, Mayor Blais told village trustees Monday Dec. 19.

Hearing Blais’ advice, the Lake George Village Board voted to earmark $5,000 for a study of how a casino in Lake George Village would impact the

region.

Such considerations as employment opportunities, impact on tourism, local family life, sales tax revenue, plus environmental and infrastructure concerns, are likely to be weighed in such a study, village officials said.

Warrensburg.

Volunteers are now being sought by the Bicentennial Committee to help plan events in conjunction with local organizations.

Those who would like to help out, call Sandi Parisi at 6232207.

WCS school budget talks resume On Dec. 12, the Warrensburg Central School District Board of Education held its first of many budget workshops for the 2012-13 school year.

Linda Baker Marcella is serving as the chairperson of the board’s budget committee.

This year ’s goal, she said at the meeting, was to provide the best education that taxpayers can afford.

Reviewing preliminary budget figures, School District Business Administrator Cynthia Turcotte said local property owners would likely need to pay a total of $855,000 more in 2012-13 than the present year to keep the status quo. This figure represents a 10.9% tax levy increase.

She added that the school district might be able to apply $650,000 from fund balance to reduce the tax levy, however.

She said it is too early to accurately predict how much money is actually needed, as there are many variables that need to be taken into consideration, as well as unpredictable future costs including fuel oil and utilities.

The board will continue to meet and rely heavily on the school administration for figures as they obtain them for 2012-2013.

The next budget workshop, at which buildings and grounds expenditures are to be discussed, is tentatively set for 6 p.m. January 23 at the high school library.

Events proposed for Bicentennial The next meeting of the Warrensburg Bicentennial Committee has been set for 4:30 p.m. Feb. 7 at the Emerson Town Hall.

A tentative schedule of events for the 2013 Bicentennial of Warrensburgh includes a mock town board meeting on May 27, 2013 with historical proceedings; a ceremony at the Warrensburg Cemetery July 4 for unspecified Oddfellows, a Warrensburgh Day parade July 13 and 14, and a special Veterans Day ceremony Nov. 11, emphasizing historic hometown soldiers.

Feb. 9, 2013 has been selected as the date for the opening of Bicentennial exhibit at Warrensburgh Museum of Local History. No events yet have been set for Feb. 12, 2013 — the very date of the bicentennial anniversary.

Various special bicentennial observances have been scheduled in concert with the routine annual area events, including the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce’s Summer Festival, the town’s Memorial Day Parade, the Smoke Eaters’ Jamboree, the Sticky Wicket croquet competition, the local graveyard walks, Dinner with the Dead and Christmas in

APA ends Round 2 of Tupper Lake resort meetings

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — The Adirondack Park Agency Board of Commissioners continued to hear about the various details regarding the Adirondack Club and Resort at APA Headquarters Dec. 15 and 16.

The Agency continued its three consecutive monthly meeting cycle to deliberate project 2005-100, the Adirondack Club and Resort, a residential/resort project proposed for lands in the town of Tupper Lake.

The Board began its review at the November meeting, and a decision is expected at the conclusion of the Jan. 1920, 2012 meeting.

Economic affairs staff

On Dec. 15, the Full Agency convened with remarks from Chairwoman Leilani Ulrich and Executive Director Terry Martino, who introduced Dan Kelleher as the APA's new special assistant for economic affairs, replacing Stephen Erman, who retired in September 2010.

Kelleher was most recently the business development manager at the Downtown Albany Business Improvement District. He joined other APA staffers on the Executive Team during the Adirondack Club and Resort review in December and January.

“It’s about time,” remarked Commissioner Art Lussi, of Lake Placid, who is the chairman of the APA’s Economic Affairs Committee and has been asking the APA for months to hire Erman’s replacement.

Meeting topics

APA commissioners and staff discussed several issues facing the Adirondack Club and Resort during the December meeting, including: the proposed PILOT program (tax breaks for development residents); alternative designs for the project, as proposed during the adjudicatory hearings; wildlife survey and habitat; Cranberry Pond/Tupper Lake Reservoir (used to draw water for snowmaking at the ski area); and use of the ski area.

APA Counsel John Banta reminded commissioners of the key point in regard to the use of the ski area: The renovation and operation of the ski area will only occur if the

project sponsor believes the residential sales within the project justify the investment.

The local group ARISE (Adirondack Residents Intent on Saving Their Economy) will be operating the Big Tupper Ski Area for the third season this winter as part of an agreement with the project sponsor. Banta made it clear that ARISE's ski area management is not related to the project.

Commissioners did not get into specifics about alternative designs for the project that were filed during the adjudicatory hearings. They did ask about how to approach the alternative designs in regard to their deliberations. The short answer is that the alternatives are conceptual, not detailed; therefore, they had not gone through the review process like the project that is currently on the table from the sponsors.

“You don’t redesign the

project at the table. The suggestions are on the record nonetheless,” Banta said.

“The Agency does look at alternatives. It just has a different process of getting there.”

100-mile radius

During the Energy Use and Conservation discussion, commissioners and designees were overwhelmingly in support of getting rid of a condition that required labor and building materials for the Adirondack Club and Resort to come within a 100mile radius. The goal is to reduce the carbon footprint of the project. While all were in favor of hiring local people, most Board members said the provision should be a discussion point rather than a condition. Making it a requirement placed the Agency in a position of enforcing the 100-mile radius, said Judy Drabicki, Department of Environmental Conservation designee and DEC Region 6 director.

“I think it's dangerous (to approve conditions) that you know from the get-go are unenforceable,” Drabicki said, adding that this condition is merely a “feel-good provision.”

“I think we ought to get rid of it altogether,” said Commissioner Cecil Wray.

About the project

The applicant — Preserve Associates, LLC — propos-

es a planned resort development on more than 6,200 acres with a ski center, a marina, an equestrian facility, a gym/spa recreation center, recreation trails, a 60-unit West Face Inn, and 706 single-family and multiplefamily residential dwelling units: 206 single-family dwellings; 39 Great Camps; eight Artist Cabins; and 453 townhouse units (duplexes, triplexes and quadplexes).

Experience the joy ... all year long

D

oubtlessly, most of our readers will be attending church this weekend, enjoying the melodic, memoryfilled strains of the classic Christmas carols, hearing comforting words from clergy, and perhaps enjoying the warm glow of candlelight in the faces of parishioners at Christmas Eve services.

These soul-stirring sights and sounds, which fill us with the spirit of love and hope, won’t be experienced again until next year.

Or will they?

With the pressures of employment, homemaking and other commitments, as many as half of those attending church this weekend won’t be attending services until Easter or next Christmas — motivated by a sense of spiritual duty or adherence to tradition.

But we at Denton Publications propose a challenge to those of us who belong to the above group of occasional church attendees.

It’s a challenge that reaps many benefits — spiritually, emotionally and socially.

Why not return to church the following week — and attend regularly throughout the year?

Those who return to church on New Year ’s Day and continue the practice through 2012 are likely to experience infusions of holiday joy, love, and hope over and over again, uplifting their pressured lives.

It’s not only for raising one’s spiritual awareness and to build a foundation of faith, but to become more involved in such a vital element of the community.

Church activities have for centuries been a mainstay of community life.

Not only do local churches’ social events, and their youth programs provide vital lifelong grounding, but their various activities and missions are vital in connecting all of us in such crucial ways.

Also important are the various community outreach programs, whether it’s food pantries, clothing drives, or collections for families who’ve faced calamities or merely unfortunate circumstances.

It’s important to be aware that the churches in the Adirondacks and other rural areas

December 24, 2011

need our involvement more than ever.

Studies by various denominations have confirmed that rural churches in America and Europe have been losing members at a substantial rate.

The Adirondack Park Regional Assessment Project report, released in 2009 by the Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages, showed that the Adirondacks, particularly the central regions, have lost up to one-third of their population since 1970.

The number of children living year-round in the Adirondacks have decreased even more drastically, according to the report’s recent update.

It’s likely due to the young adults moving out of the region for better job opportunities and launching their families elsewhere.

This is particularly hard on the churches here, as it’s the young children that have traditionally drawn their parents into church life. The result of this population hemorrhaging has been a lot of empty pews, scarce attendance at Sunday schools, and elimination of many church social events and outreach programs.

Add to these trends the new attitude espoused by Baby Boomers and their offspring that stresses individualism and more and more people are interested in church only on their own terms.

With this shift in demographics and attitude — and social media and electronic media increasingly competing for our time and attention — the families who remain here have an ever-greater responsibility to keep the churches not only alive and solvent, but vibrant and influential.

Let’s head back to church Jan. 1 and thereafter.

We need our churches and their activities, and they need us.

Adirondack Journal - 7 known as “Aunt Sate” and was loved by all.

The funeral was held Dec. 23, 1911. Her body was taken to Northville for internment.

•100 Years Ago – Dec. 1911•

Poisonous sense of humor

Myron Blanchard, the French Mountain Marathon runner, who won a hotly contested race at the fair grounds in Warrensburgh several years ago, made a bluff of suicide Dec. 23, 1911, giving his family a severe fright.

Blanchard had been drinking most of the week and on Saturday visited Glens Falls with his wife to do some Christmas shopping. Upon their return home they had a little tiff and Myron went to the cupboard, seized a package of Paris Green, bade his children goodbye and lying down on a couch and pretended — as he confessed later — to take a dose of the deadly stuff.

His wife summoned a doctor but his services were not needed. Blanchard says that he didn’t take any of the poison and was only making a bluff.

Horicon posse protects town

There has been another burglar scare in Horicon. Every night between 9 o’clock and midnight the streets of Horicon are paraded by a corps of merchants headed by Philetus Smith with an old flintlock lined up, M.C. Lackey with a Fourth of July pistol, Bill Johnson with an old broom handle and little Edson Smith with a lantern, each bent upon protecting his own property. Any lone pedestrian who has any business on the streets after 9 o’clock had better wait until the next morning before they transact it.

Motorcar collision injures citizen

In other Horicon news, Fred Parker is suffering from a lame back caused by an automobile accident of which he was a victim.

While on his way to Chestertown in his Maxwell automobile with his son, Fred was driving the car. The machine collided with Mason Lackey’s automobile just the other side of the Starbuckville woods. Both of the chauffeurs were running their cars at a

twelve-mile an hour clip until they came in sight of each other, then both slowed down.

As they were about to pass, the wheels of Parker ’s machine struck a piece of ice and skidded, throwing the left part of the machine in front of the other machine.

Both chauffeurs threw on their emergency brake just in time to prevent a catastrophe.

The machines came together with a crash throwing Mr. Parker through the wind shield and into a watering trough. The rest escaped unhurt. Lackey’s machine, being larger and heavier than Parker ’s, was unscratched. The front of Parker ’s car was bent and one of the lamps broken and had to be sent to Glens Falls to be overhauled.

carried away. An entrance was effected by breaking the glass in a kitchen window and the door was opened from the inside for removal of the plunder. Fresh wagon tracks near the house showed that the thieves came prepared to carry away anything they could find which would be of use.

Mrs. Saville has a strong suspicion as to the identity of the marauders and she and her husband propose to follow the matter up until some one is compelled to pay the penalty for the crime. Several young men are being closely questioned as to just what they know about the affair. Sensational developments are expected and the people of Darrowsville are very much excited.

Hanging too good for him

Supervisors scrutinize budget

A jury in an out-of-state murder case at the trial of a man over the murder of a woman in an unusually horrible manner, unanimously voted the prisoner guilty of murder in the first degree.

They also decided that hanging was too good for him and set about devising some punishment that would be worse. As a result of their deliberations they brought in a verdict recommending life imprisonment and further stipulating that on each anniversary of the crime the prisoner would be placed in a dungeon and put on a bread-and-water diet and that no board of pardons should ever be permitted to set him free or mitigate his punishment in any way.

The judge agreed that the punishment was justified but the verdict could not be carried out according to the law and he sent them back to the jury room to bring in a verdict differently worded.

At one of the sessions of the Warren County Board of Supervisors at the state armory in Glens Falls, an amendment to the county law was requested fixing the salary of supervisors at $300 per annum instead of $4 a day as at present. The supervisors completed their labors after a session of 28 straight days. One of the last acts of the board was to audit their own bills for services rendered to their various towns. Warrensburgh Supervisor Dr. Alfred J. Pitcher received $260.68 for the year.

Thievery at Darrowsville

Charles Saville’s house at Darrowsville was broken into the night of Dec. 2, 1911 in the absence of the family and all the potatoes stored for the winter, together with various other vegetables, Mr. Saville’s best winter overcoat, razor and other belongings, were

Lady found dead in bed

Mrs. Sarah Fuller, 85, a native of Stony Creek, was found dead in bed the morning of Dec. 21, 1911 by her stepson Elmer Fuller who lived with her at home in West Day. Dr. S. Kathan and Coroner Small decided that her death was caused by heart disease from which Mrs. Fuller had suffered since she had a stroke of paralysis several years ago.

The deceased was the oldest daughter of Stephen and Eliza Corey Green. She was born in Stony Creek in 1826 near Lens Lake.

When she was young woman, she moved with her parents to West Day where she has since resided. Her husband was Chauncey Fuller. By old and young alike she was

Letters to the Editor Bond with others this holiday season To the Adirondack Journal: I always liked the graveled voice of Louis Armstrong. He also played a pretty good horn. I also liked the sentiments expressed through some of the songs he played.

At one time I worked for an international corporation and was asked, on several occasions, to organize the chairman’s annual corporate management conference. It was held in early December.

At one conference, prior to the wrap-up dinner, I presented a slide show, and it invoked Louis’ lyrics. I had quietly collected photographs of my worldwide colleagues ‘children. They were displayed in the slide show, presented at the small theater beneath the United Nations Secretariat Building in Manhattan, just prior to our concluding banquet.

Louis sang on screen, “I see

trees of green, red roses too….. and I think to myself, what a wonderful world.”

In a subsequent year, I put together a similar meeting in New York. I remembered another part of Louis’ song. It said, ”I see skies of blue and clouds of white…and I think to myself, what a wonderful world.”

I thought….why not have a cocktail reception looking toward a western sunset.

High risk, but I lucked out.

The sunset was gorgeous!

After cocktails we moved upstairs for dinner -- to “Windows on the World,” on the 102nd floor of the World Trade Center. It’s not there anymore. You know why.

Celebrate your holiday and heritage. Relate to Louis when he says, “I see friends shakin’ hands, sayin’ ‘How do you do?’....They’re really saying ‘I love you.’“ This sentiment can outlast even a thousand-story building.

Give someone you encounter today a great big hug. Together we can work on this Wonderful World

An epidemic is no joke

The city papers are publishing some great yarns from Lake George which furnish considerable amusement for the residents of that locality. The latest is that an epidemic of “horse measles” has broken out there which has already carried off 70 or 80 horses. There is nothing to it!

In real news, Letha Decker of Hague has just recovered from the quinsy. In Adirondack Mrs. Harvey Bolster has the same ailment and Miss Beatrice Tripp there is ill with chicken pox. Elmore Tucker of North Thurman is ill with stomach and liver trouble.

Wedding bells

Lee L. Hall and Mrs. Susie McDonald, both of Stony Creek, were married at Luzerne Saturday, Dec. 23, 1911 by the Rev. G.W. May. The couple will reside in Stony Creek where Mr. Hall is a prominent business man.

Ernest Pratt and Miss Beatrice Hill, both of Warrensburgh, were married Christmas morning by the Rev. H.F. Titus at the Methodist Episcopal parsonage in their home town. Miss Olive E. Pratt and Lafayette Pratt were the attendants.

News roundabout

Torrents of rain came down Dec. 22, 1911 making the streets of Warrensburgh an American Venice.

A son, Glendale Edward Rounds, was born to Mrs. Herbert Rounds of North Thurman. A son was born on Dec. 16, 1911 to Mrs. John Jordan of North River. A daughter was born in Darrowsville to Mrs. Merton Bartlett.

Joshua Reynolds of East Thurman who will be 81 years old in April, walked to Warrensburgh one day last week and back carrying a big sack of groceries on his back, a trip of eighteen miles. He said it was to keep his muscles limbered up.

What a day to remember!

This is not an easy time for us, but with the love, support and prayers of friends and family we will beat this.

Again, a special Thank You to all who contributed to make this benefit such a success — and a day that we will never forget!

Highway workers luncheon set I'm sure local citizens have all seen our highway crews working hard for long hours, especially after being hit with so many storms and road washouts this summer.

Now it's our turn to show our appreciation by sponsoring a hot luncheon for the workers on Thursday, Dec. 29. We are asking those attending to bring in a covered dish by 11 a.m., so workers and local residents can all enjoy a sit-down meal together. Also, anyone who can help serve and clean up would be appreciated. For details, call Cindy at 623-4588.

Local outreach effort successful

Christmas Baskets were packed and delivered on a cold Dec. 8, bringing smiles to the faces of those receiving them.

A total of 45 baskets filled with some home-baked goodies, bread, cookies, brownies, plus peanuts in a shell, fruit, a candy or two, and a delightful small gift or two, were given out this year.

The organizing committee thanks the many good neighbors who took time to bake and make and who brought the items to the Thurman Town Hall. Every little bit helps very much.

Thanks also go out to the folks who donated money from the Thurman Christmas Bazaar, and special thanks to the Grand Union, Hannaford, Stewart's, Price Chopper and WalMart for their contributions.

Thanks to the many local residents who helped pack and those who helped deliver the baskets: Shirley Wendling, Ursula Morasse, Myrna Keeler, Michele Probylski, Grace Flynn, Gail Needham, Karma Smith, Barb Farrell, Bob Hitchcock, and the two overseers who put it all together this year and did a great job: Paula Hubert and Becky Hitchcock.

This is 31st year that the Christmas baskets were delivered in Thurman. In 1980, 12 baskets, all handmade, were distributed.

Over the Fence

Please remember at Christmastime the folks who do so much for each of us and are often forgotten: our mail carriers, the post office help, the newspaper carrier, heating fuel truck drivers, clerks at stores open on holidays, the person who types this column for me every week, our EMS and fire company, the sheriff's department personnel — I'm sure you can add more to the list.

Good luck to the parents of the excited little ones and the

bigger ones too for the Christmas Day celebration this weekend!

Wouldn’t it be nice if the clock rolled back about 50 years, when children were just as excited and happy to get an apple, an orange, and maybe a coloring book in their stockings, and under the tree would be two wrapped gifts for each child?

The new 2012 John Thurman Historical Society calendar is available at the Town Hall and can be purchased during regular business hours. Call 623-0649 for more information.

The old-fashioned tradition of spreading cheer through the community was once again shown by about 25 Christmas carolers from the Thurman Baptist Church, ranging in age from 5 to 89. Their voices in song were loud and clear, singing some of the old Christmas carols in perfect harmony on Saturday evening, Dec. 10. They went to many homes, and planned to go out to the area nursing homes on Dec. 18.

Heartfelt thanks to the carolers for coming out in the cold to spread the good will to all.

What do our teenagers now have to keep them busy? We remember when Thurman had many activities, a bus to the YMCA, a trip to Skateland, the Nature Explorers Club, competitive basketball games, the Mommy & Me activities club, a tutoring program, and an occasional Valentine's Day dance. So much more was offered. What has happened to stop all of these things? Is it any wonder that teens get into trouble?

Seniors enjoy holiday events

The Sugar Loaf Mountain Seniors Club of Thurman enjoyed a delicious Christmas dinner at the Old Log Inn on Dec. 4.

The celebration included Christmas music and holiday decorations. All 44 members and guests who attended were delighted with their choice of a place to have their party, we’re told The next meeting of the club will be at 11:30 a.m.

Saturday, Jan. 21.

A POEM FOR THURMAN Upon Visiting Athol-Thurman Blue cloudless sky and trees of minty green, the little town of Athol is the loveliest I’ve seen.

Nestled in the mountains with its streams and rolling hills, painted rich in color with its violets and daffodils.

I’ve come to know God’s joy and peace as if I were in his Holy Chapel, this my heart so oft reflects while picking harvest apples.

Much in life is bittersweet, and many things are leaven, but Athol-Thurman, God Blessed it all, is a succulent slice of heaven.

Railway CEO: Passenger service ‘wildly successful’

Snow trains to start up

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com SARATOGA SPRINGS — As the Saratoga-North Creek Railway officials announced their Dec. 30 startup of their much-anticipated Snow Train service, they said their rail ridership this summer and fall -- their first five months of operation -- has far exceeded their expectations.

At a recent media event, the CEO of the railway also said his firm would soon be re-opening a 30-mile stretch of rail line from North Creek to Tahawus, with intentions to transport mine tailings.

Ed Ellis, president of Iowa Pacific Holdings — owner of the Saratoga-North Creek Railway — said that ridership has been far higher than their projections of about 40,000 passenger trips, and may total 60,000 by the end of the month.

“It’s been a great startup,” he said.

Beginning Dec. 30, the railroad will be operating “snow trains” on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through March from Saratoga to North Creek, he said. The railway may also add additional runs during weekdays as needed to coincide with special events, he added.

While the popularity of passenger service from Saratoga to North Creek this summer was a welcome to surprise to local officials, the railway’s ridership is likely to be well-received this winter, as winter sports enthusiasts take advantage of the railway’s $70 ski package.

This discounted deal includes lift ticket at Gore Mountain, round-trip transportation, shuttle service to Gore, and two drinks on the train, as well as free relaxation and stunning scenery during the excursion — all for less than an $80 Gore lift ticket alone, Ellis said.

The snow trains— named as such because there’s also tubing, skating, shopping and entertainment available in North Creek — will leave the Saratoga station at 7 a.m. and return at 6:20 p.m.

“This is not just a ski train — people can get on the train in Saratoga, have a breakfast made to order on the train, enjoy the scenery as they travel to north Creek, then take advantage of the many fun activities all winter long — instead of sitting at home,” Ellis said.

Looking ahead, Ellis said the railway was expecting to open the line to Tahawus in 2012, with the intention of hauling mine tailings to be used as aggregate for highway construction. He said that five tons of tailings, or rock material leftover from mining, was available. Much of the tailings are crushed granite from Barton Mines.

He also said that the mines in Tahawus and elsewhere on the rail line contain magnetite, titanium and rare earth elements, that are likely to experience increasing demand in upcoming years.

At a recent event in Saratoga announcing the Dec. 30 startup of ‘Snow Train’ service to North Creek, Mike Bowers of barVino in North Creek (left) talks about how the Saratoga-North Creek Railway has revitalized tourism and commerce in his town. Ed Ellis of the railway (right) said the rail line to Tahawus was likely to open in 2012 as he talked about how rail service to North Creek has far exceeded expectations to date.

Ellis predicted that fuel costs would be increasing to $6 per gallon or higher, and rail transportation of such materials would be ever more competitive, as well as cut down on truck traffic on Warren County roads.

Area economic development officials have said they have had confidential discussions with Iowa Pacific officials over their freight plans — and they have been publicly enthusiastic about prospects for job development due to Iowa Pacific’s aggressive approach to revive rail service.

Also, amateur geologists have estimated that hundreds of millions of dollars worth of minerals could be mined in the area served by the Tahawus rail line.

Ellis said at the Saratoga press conference that the Saratoga-North Creek Railway passenger traffic has been boosted in recent weeks by its smash-hit Polar Express runs out of Saratoga Springs.

“It’s been wildly successful,” he said.

The holiday-themed excursions, named after the Polar Express book and movie, includes waiters dancing down the train’s aisles, a trip to the “North Pole,” — a trackside village created in a rural area by a set design firm — as well as

plenty of holiday music, and a visit by Santa aboard the train.

The Polar Express trips have often filled all the 800 available seats, swamped the Saratoga station beyond its capacity, and required shuttling passengers in from a remote parking lot. The Polar Express trips are offered nearly daily through Dec. 8, with 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. departures. Reservations are available at: www.sncrr.com.

Ellis also said the railway was ready to establish additional connections to the Rensselaer rail station — and launch commuter service to Albany if it could be arranged with appropriate subsidies.

“The demand is there,” Ellis said. “We want to take people off area roads.”

Mike Bowers of barVino in North Creek said the rail has revitalized commerce in North Creek, noting that the Copperfield inn had served up to 500 meals per week this summer, rather than several dozen.

“It’s been like an adrenaline rush,” Bowers said. “There’s real synergy between the railway and downtown businesses.”

Sales tax bump requested in Hamilton County

By John Grybos

jgrybos@denpubs.com LAKE PLEASANT — One of only 11 counties of New York's 62 still under 8 percent sales tax, the Hamilton County Board of Supervisors would like to move out of that minority and increase revenues to bolster underfunded budget lines.

“The reality is that in order to fund state mandates, we've cut back year after year on budget lines like highway,” said Board of Supervisors Chair Bill Farber.

Only $85,000 is set aside for highway equipment for county roads. The approved highway equipment funding in the town of Johnsburg is $80,000, a number that even

for the town was considered low for replacement demands.

With 58 bridges to maintain, the county only has $75,000 for repairs.

Hoping for a revenue infusion, the board of supervisors put in a request to the state legislature to get their sales tax rate over 7 percent during the 2011 session, but

ATTENTION ALL ADVERTISERS!

it didn't go anywhere.

“Counties have in general buffered taxpayers from state mandates almost to a fault,” said Farber.

He said there hasn't been enough pressure to reduce those mandates. With the new, state-wide 2 percent tax cap being implemented, those mandates are even more demanding on the

county's resources.

Farber said the board members were hoping that public defense expenses or medicaid costs would be picked up by other government branches, but that hasn't happened.

This year's submission to the legislature is much more detailed than the last, said Farber. After they weren't

approved, the board of supervisors assumed that not enough information was provided, so they packed as much as they could into the new request. Hopefully, he said, the legislature will understand the gravity of the situation.

The resolution cites costcutting measures that the county's already undertaken, including requiring a 20 percent contribution from employees for health insurance, a wage structure that's below the state average, eliminating and combining departments, eliminating staff positions, and developing shared service projects with towns, schools and villages.

Counties are dealing with rising costs, not all of them under their own control, said Sen. Betty Little's Communications Director Daniel MacEntee.

However, there was not a lot of support for raising sales taxes during the last legislative session because of an already high burden on New York taxpayers, he said.

The tax question affects business attraction and retention in New York, and can be a delicate issue.

While there's a need for more revenue, taxpayers generally want a lower tax burden, said MacEntee.

Little will be working with colleagues in the Senate and Assembly in the upcoming session, starting in January, to see if they can move the request forward.

Willsboro native in awe of ‘Survivor’ win

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — Since the inception of the CBS hit television show “Survivor,” 22-year-old Sophie Clarke of Willsboro has always wanted to be the sole competitor left standing on the final stage.

Dec. 18, it was revealed to the millions of the reality show’s viewers that Clarke not only realized that dream by outlasting and outwitting her competitors, but she also won $1 milSophie Clarke lion as the 23rd champion of Survivor.

Clarke, a native of Willsboro who starred for her local high school on athletic fields and courts as well as in the classroom, was crowned champion during a three-hour season finale.

On Dec. 19, Clarke talked about her win with Denton Publications editor Keith Lobdell.

“My parents were here,” said Clarke, who spoke over phone from Los Angeles, where the finale was aired. “Both my sisters were here along with a friend from college and a family friend.”

Clarke said she did her best to withhold the news about her win, especially from her older twin sisters.

“I was really cruel because about an hour before the finale started, I texted my sisters and told them that I didn’t really win the $1 million,” Clarke said. “So they watched the whole episode thinking that I didn’t win. I think they swore at me when I finally made it down to hug them after the show.

“They knew my dad came out for the family visit, but they knew nothing after that,” Clarke added. Her father, Thurston, had been a guest on the show when one family member was allowed to visit.

Clarke said that her phone started “blowing up” shortly after the winning moment.

“Someone turned my phone off as I was doing interviews after the show,” Clarke said. “I had 100 texts and 200 Facebook messages. I still have my computer in front of me. I don’t think anyone in my cast had so much support. It’s so nice to have it coming from your hometown and have it coming from people that you have known since you were 5 years old.”

Clarke also got a chance to mention her hometown during the finale. Willsboro is located in rural Essex County in the eastern Adirondacks.

“It was so nice to mention Willsboro on national television when Jeff (Probst, the show’s host) brought it up,” Clarke said.

Clarke said that she was able to use the skills that she learned growing up in the small town of Willsboro to her advantage during the show, including learning how to be a part of a group with different ideals.

“If you look at the alliance I created there, I had a pact with a rancher, a ‘dragon slayer,’ a dating coach and a 19year-old with two kids, 50 tattoos and a wife. At times, it was hard group of people to be around.”

Clarke said that her Willsboro upbringing helped her to mix with that variety of people.

“There’s not enough people to pick your friends,” Clarke said. “That was probably one of the weirdest alliances in Survivor history. I grew to really appreciate everybody out there. Willsboro helped with that.”

Clarke said that because of her alliance, the strategy was able to remain the same throughout the season.

“I realized I was in this alliance of people that were not going to go back on their word with me,” Clarke said. “I saw this very clear path to the final six. When I got there, it was like an onion; there were alliances within alliances, and I was fortunate to be a part of each one of them.”

While Clarke received a lot of support and well-wishes from Willsboro, she said that her friends at medical school in New York City were a lot more aloof to her exploits.

“People in my medical school were not that into the show,” she said. “A lot of them really didn’t know that I was on it. They know now. It was nice to do my thing and go to class and study, on Wednesday night be on national television and then go back to being with my friends the next day.”

Clarke felt her road to the prize was made complete in the final immunity challenge, when she beat her toughest competition and fan favorite, Ozzy Lusth, in a puzzle.

“I knew that if I lost that challenge, I was going home that night,” Clarke said. “It was like penalty kicks in a soccer game. This was the last shot I had to win it or go home. Ozzy was going to walk away with it. That was a million dollar challenge for Ozzy, and it turned out to be a million-dollar challenge for me, too.”

Clarke, who graduated from Middlebury College before enrolling in medical school, said that the bulk of her money will go toward college expenses, but that she will keep some to splurge.

“I like the idea of just getting a ticket and going somewhere,” she said. “I would like to splurge and do something that I would have never done.”

As for a return to her hometown, Clarke — who made an appearance at Johnny’s Restaurant in Willsboro during Thanksgiving break — said that she will be home for the last part of the holidays.

Lake George waters the clearest LAKE GEORGE — Lake George received the best rating for clarity in 2011 among 98 New York lakes, according to test results announced this week by the Lake George Association.

Walt Lender of the LGA hailed the results, but added a cautionary note.

“While this is great news for Lake George, it by no means allows us to relax our efforts to protect the Lake and keep it clean,” he said, noting that the clarity of the water in the southern end — in Lake George Village — is subject to various pollution threats.

The New York State Federation of Lake Association s sponsored the statewide lakewater quality monitoring project.

Nancy Mueller of the agency said she was pleased about the results on behalf of area residents.

“If you want clear water in New York State, Gull Bay on Lake George is the place to be,” she said.

The measurements were taken in various spots on Lake George with Secchi disks, which are lowered into the lake, and a person records how low it it can be dropped while keeping it visible.

Local volunteers including Peter Leyh and Jack and Cathy LaBombard were able to see the disk as low as 37 feet, Lender said.

Every summer since 2004, the Lake George Association has coordinated volunteers to assess water quality and clarity through the testing program. The data gathered is used to help manage and assess trends in New York’s many lakes.

At 120 pounds, it was a head-to-head battle of two athletic and smart wrestlers who both have already had long, successful careers.

Veteran War-Eagle Dan Jardine decisioned Burgher Beecher Baker 13-6. The loss didn’t dampen Baker ’s drive, however, as just days later he took home the championship of the

16-team Granville tournament.

At 126 pounds, Nick Nedelcu came from behind in his own battle to pin Jason Hoffman with 48 seconds remaining on the clock.

Hoffman had been dominating in the match, but Nedelcu caught him in a cradle to overturn the match, Trapasso said “Nick is a future superstar,” he said.

WARRENSBURG — The talent of new Varsity wrestlers of both Warrensburg and Hadley-Luzerne/Lake George demonstrated their potential as the Burghers continued their unexpected winning streak Dec. 14 by defeating the War Eagles.

Although the score was a tilted 46 to 21, the matches were generally close, and the competition was well matched, observers said.

Opening the meet, Warrensburg Sophomore Trevor Baker pinned Lake George Freshman Patrick Barber, who took on competition well above his weight class. Baker was behind in the match, but he caught Barber in a hold and pinned him in 2:25.

Next up was Zane Bemis of the War Eagles at 220 pounds, throwing Freshman Blake Vaisey on his back and pinning him in 1 minute 8 seconds.

At 285, Lake George Sophomore Adam Agresta pinned Burgher Sophomore Dakota Kimball in 46 seconds. Both teams took a forfeit at 99 pounds and 106 pounds.

At 113, the muscular, athletic Freshman Austin West stepped up one weight class and decisioned Joey Gilbert of Hadley-Luzerne 8-2, Burgher coach Mark Trapasso said.

“Austin is a physical, strong kid with a

also was facing defeat, but fought back in an action-packed match to defeat War Eagle Wolfgang Cellantano in a 16-10 decision, Trapasso said.

“Oehler is yet another Freshman who stepped up and wrestled tough when we really needed him,” Trapasso said.

At 138, the experienced veteran War Eagle Forrest Kubricky pinned the athletic and promising Burgher Will Yarmowich in 3:55.

At 145, Jerico Converse, who has emerged this year with athleticism for the Burghers, pinned War Eagle Alex Olson in 3:43. The 152-pound weight class was a forfeit for Charlie Giknis of Warrensburg.

At 160 pounds, veteran Burgher Andrew Fish pinned Zack Corlew in 2:30 after taking him down twice in the first period.

“Andrew looked really good in the match,” Trapasso said.

At 170 pounds, Burgher Junior Desmon Allen decisioned Sophomore Tom Clark 123 by repeatedly taking Clark down then letting him go.

At 182 pounds, Warrensburg veteran Lucas Nelson, a 2010 Class D Sectional Champion, pinned David Tenree in 1:56, Coach Trapasso said.

“The War Eagles gave us a really good battle,” he said. “We’re having a fun year, learning stuff and winning some big meets.”

Outgoing supervisors from page 1

Belden, due to his length of service and deep knowledge of public works issues, was in the spotlight at the county meeting, the final session of the year.

After the meeting, Belden reflected on his career. He said he was proud of his 20 years as Hague Superintendent of Highways, upgrading roads and keeping town equipment in top shape.

Following Richard Bolton as Town Supervisor, Belden pursued an approach of accomplishing as much as he could while keeping the budget lean.

To that end, he routinely pursued all the grant money he could, Belden said Dec. 16.

“I brought in $20 million for the town of Hague citizens,” he said.

In that vein, Belden identified his top accomplishment during his tenure as developing a sewer system in Hague with federal and state money.

Also a leading accomplishment, he said, was not only building a new town hall in 1988, but paying it off not long afterwards.

Projects like these were accomplished while keeping taxes low, he said, noting that Hague has not levied a town general tax in five years, a tradition that’s to be continued for 2012.

But his premier accomplishment, he said, was reaching out to townspeople.

He said that during all his 40 years of public service, he’d take time to listen to local citizens’ needs and respond to their concerns.

“I always answered questions and returned phone calls from day one, and that was 24-7 including weekends.”

During his years in office, he ran D.D. Belden Construction, which concentrated on dock construction and home building.

Belden retired from this enterprise about six years ago.

In recent years, he’s continued a property care and monitoring business, opening and closing camps, and he’s taken on light repair work.

Belden said he chose to retire at the close of 2011 because it coincides with landmark year for him. Two months ago, he celebrated his 50th wedding anniversary.

Following Belden in the Supervisor post will be Edna Frasier, who has served as Hague Deputy Supervisor for four years.

Belden said he looks forward to taking on a more relaxing schedule and spending some time with his six children and four grandchildren, as well as vacationing in north Carolina.

This spring, he may work time in the consulting business, perhaps pursuing grants for individuals and organizations, he said.

“I think I’ve done my work for the town,” he said. “But I’ll be keeping active.”

Horicon Supervisor Ralph Bentley said he and other area citizens wish him well in his retirement.

“We’re all going to miss his expertise — he’s so knowledgeable about highways and public works,” he said.

Warren County Board of Supervisors Chairman Dan Stec said Belden had for decades worked hard to bring county leaders together to achieve progress.

“Dan’s a statesman and consensus builder,” he said.

“He’s always had the best interests of all of Warren County at heart.”

Glens Falls Ward 5 Supervisor William Kenny praised retiring Johnsburg Supervisor Sterling Goodspeed for his years of service to his town and Warren County.

“Johnsburg is going to lose a great leader,” Kenny said.

Queensbury at-large Supervisor Matthew Sokol praised fellow legislator William VanNess, noting his heroic deeds over the years in law enforcement, as well as his dedicated eight years of service. Kenny also paid tribute to VanNess.

“Never in the history of this county board has anyone had such thorough knowledge of law enforcement and public

Health insurance

Other actions, the town board:

from page 1

• Scheduled a public hearing for 7 p.m.

Wednesday Jan. 11 to consider a local law prohibiting deposition of snow on sidewalks. Several residents and businesses, in clearing their driveways, have been known to push snow onto the sidewalks, Geraghty said. While a state law now exists prohibiting the practice, a local ordinance provides for efficient enforcement, he said. A public hearing was also scheduled for the same time and date to change the town water billing from annual to quarterly.

• Approved two Occupancy Tax allocations to the Warrensburgh Beautification Committee — one for $1,481 for their Christmas in Warrensburg event, and one for $312 to advertise the local Farmer ’s Market Garlic Festival.

In the fall elections, Ackley and Markey were defeated by challengers Joyce Reed and Linda Baker Marcella, whose campaigns included protests that such a proposal was unfair and that health insurance for life could end up costing taxpayers $1 million or more.

In response, Town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty introduced a 2012 budget in late October that reflected reductions in the town’s payments toward health insurance coverage for board members.

The employee policy revisions were supported in a unanimous vote at the Dec. 14 meeting

safety than Bill VanNess,” he said.

Kenny also praised Lake George Supervisor Frank McCoy, saying he’d miss his influence on the county Occupancy Tax Committee.

“No one has a greater love of his community than Frank, and I admire him.”

McCoy responded by thanking the supervisors and praising county Administrator Paul Dusek, a Warrensburg native, for his work.

“Paul has been doing an outstanding job leading the county and he’s been very helpful in keeping me informed.”

Dusek, in turn, praised the retiring group, saying he had been fortunate to work for them while they were on the board.

“I feel the citizens of the county have been well served by the work you put in,” he said.

• Heard from Supervisor Geraghty that the town’s drinking water tests conducted this month were very favorable, with all but one of the 41 households tested passing state standards, which set limits for copper, lead, and other substances. He said the town was continuing to improve the prevailing water quality.

• Discussed the possibility of developing a new well on the Countryside Adult Home property, a suggestion proposed earlier this year by incoming board member Joyce Reed.

• Scheduled the town’s annual organizational meeting — which this year will include swearing-in ceremonies of incoming board members Reed and Marcella as well as Judge Bryan Winslow — to be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 3.

• Approved contracting with Waste Management to take over trash hauling and dis-

posal for the town during 2012. The town now hauls refuse deposited at the town transfer station to the Hudson Falls trash plant. The change is expected to save taxpayers $50 per trip. The town truck now routinely takes one or two trips to the plant per week.

• Authorized applying for a $175,000 grant from the Adirondack-Glens Falls Transportation Council to replace 3,277 feet of sidewalks in town. This sum would pay 75 percent of the construction costs.

• Voted to commit $1,000 of Occupancy Tax funds to the Warren County Bicentennial Committee in 2012 toward promotion of events in 2013 celebrating the 200th anniversary of the county’s founding.

• Enacted a Resolution of Appreciation to Town Justice Richard Nissen for his 24 years of service as a local judge.

Casino study from page 1 Blais said that he would expect the town of Lake George to contribute $5,000 and Warren County also to chip in $10,000 for such a study — assuming the casino impact research would cost $20,000.

“Whether to have a casino here is one of the biggest decisions ever for Warren County, and it’s our responsibility to get all the information we can,” Blais said, predicting that the topic was bound to be controversial. “It’s going to be a very emotional issue.”

Nearly three weeks ago, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and legislative leaders agreed to support a state constitutional amendment that will bring the idea of allowing casino gambling in New York State on land outside Native American reservations.

State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver has said he supports legalizing at least one casino operation off Native American lands, while Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos has only publicly said he supports allowing the state’s voters to decide the issue.

It is expected that a vote — the first of two required — on the state constitutional amendment will likely be held in 2012.

Predicted that legislation enabling a public referendum would succeed, Blais said Lake George or Saratoga would likely be considered prime candidates for a casino development.

Lake George Mayor Robert Blais (left rear) advises the village Boar d Monday, Dec. 19 to bankroll a study of the pot ential impact of a gambling casino located either in Lake George or in Saratoga Springs. He said such a study was vital in providing information to the public on the pros and cons of local casinos, since legislation is now under serious consideration that would bring a proposal to legalize casinos outside Native American reservations up for a public vote.

Photo by Thom Randall

Blais said a study conducted in 1996 prepared during the Pataki administration was comprehensive in its examination of impacts of a large-scale casino development, but while such information was useful, it needed to be updated and localized for Lake George.

Area residents need to know the potential impacts of a casino here, or one in Saratoga — particularly relating to local tourism and employment, Blais said.

“One way or another, we’re going to be in the mix,” he said. “We need to make people aware of the pros and cons.”

Burghers win championship in Granville wrestling tourney

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — The Warrensburg Wrestling team continued its improbable and confounding campaign of 2011-12 by winning the 16-team Granville wrestling tournament Saturday, Dec. 17.

The Burghers won first place in the Ken Harrison Memorial Granville Lions Wrestling Tournament by edging out perennial powerhouse South Glens Falls by 2 & 1/2 points.

The victory featured three first-place wins — by Lucas Nelson, Beecher Baker and Nick Nedelcu — as well as three second place wins and three others in the top four.

The win was accomplished despite a 201112 lineup that is thin this year, primarily due to several talented wrestlers not signing back up. This situation baffled the coaches, but apparently fired up the remaining veterans — and some talented newcomers — to light up the scoreboard this year.

Coach Mark Trapasso said he was perplexed but very pleased, after experiencing disappointment in the pre-season.

“It’s almost like an experiment,” he said.

“I cannot explain how were having any success as a team, but it’s been wonderful so far — However, the wheels could fall off at any time.”

Not if the wrestlers keep up their energy and dedication, though.

So far this year, a number of the wrestlers in the new Burgher lineup have been outlasting their competitors — losing points early on, but rebounding when the opponents get winded and worn out.

Nick Nedelcu, a Sophomore, overcame an early-on point deficit — as he has in prior victories — to win the final match in the 126pound weight class. He pinned Adam Mimms of Cambridge in the final 20 seconds of the match with a cradle.

“As Mimms got tired, Nick got stronger,”

Warrensburg wrestlers celebrate with their trophies following their victory Saturday, Dec. 17 in winning the 16-team Granville tournament.

Trapasso said.

Also earning a first-place trophy was veteran Burgher Lucas Nelson, who decisioned Pat Pfenning of Rutland, who is ranked as one of the top five wrestlers in Vermont for his weight class.

When Nelson walked onto the mat, South Glens Falls was ahead, and to secure the first-place honors in the tournament, the Burghers needed Nelson to win.

Nelson, a WCS Senior, accomplished the task for his team with a 7-5 decision.

“The first-place victory was on Nelson’s shoulders, and he got it for us,” Trapasso said.

Also capturing a first-place win for the Burghers was Beecher Baker, who pinned Zack Morris of South Glens Falls in the finals with only 50 seconds remaining in the match.

“Beecher looked very sharp,” Trapasso said of the WCS Junior. “It was fantastic.”

Winning second place in the tourney was Senior Jon Vaisey, who is a dominant force in the Adirondack League for his 106-pound weight class. Vaisey was pinned in 1:39 by Dominic Riccio of Galway after winning all his other matches.

Following in Vaisey’s footsteps is Freshman Austin West, who’s proven to be a promising talent with some critical wins already this season. Austin won second place after being pinned in 5 minutes 14 seconds

by Brandon Diaz of LaSalle.

Sophomore Trevor Baker also demonstrated his talent by winning all matches in the tourney but his last. He placed second after being pinned in 3:52 by Gabe Laberge of Middlebury at 195 pounds.

Placing third was WCS Freshman Lane Oehler, who won a 9-5 decision at 132 pounds against Pat Mumford of Mill River.

This was Oehler ’s second win in his two Varsity meets.

Jerico Converse continued his winning ways for the 2011-12 season, placing fourth at 145 pounds, along with Freshman Blake Vaisey at 220 pounds who also has been demonstrating his considerable ability.

Behind Warrensburg and South Glens Falls in the tournament was Granville in third place, followed by Galway, Middlebury, Mechanicville, Vergennes, Bellows Falls, LaSalle, Rutland, AuSable Valley, Mill River, Cambridge, Fort Ann, Otter Valley and Milton.

Trapasso said his team’s victory was due not only to the wrestlers who won individual championships or placed in the tourney, but those who contributed points in the qualifying matches.

“We had the right wrestlers in the right weight classes,” he said. “Our kids have been working hard — they want to get better, so they listen and learn, and they’re willing to do what we ask them to do.”
