Snowsled cancer ride return Feb. 13

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

GLENS FALLS— It’s a snowmobiling event that goes on whether there’s snow or not and the public can join in on the fun and fundraising even without a machine. The eighth annual Purple Ribbon Cancer Ride, which raised nearly $20,000 last year, is set for Feb. 13, benefitting local patients seeking treatment at the C.R. Wood Cancer.

It was Donna Brockway, who after her own diagnosis in Sept. 2004, wanted to give back

to the community. Her friend, Karen Larose, owner of Progressive Motorsports, Hudson Falls, had sold her a snowmobile just prior to her diagnosis.

“When you hear the word cancer, it’s devastating,” said Brockway, who started successful treatment immediately. “I didn’t ride at all that winter,” she said, but recalled the moment she was able to get back on the snowmobile. “It was exhilarating. That’s when I began to live again.”

Brockway and Larose teamed up to bring the ride together, the first year raising around $1,500. “It’s been growing ever since,” said Brockway. >> Story Continued | pg. 11

Cable merger to bring broadband to rural areas, boost speeds Emergency services may benefit

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

GLENS FALLS — A pending merger between cable companies coupled with a $500 million state grant program now underway is likely to substantially boost Internet access in Warren County and elsewhere in the Adirondacks, a leading economic development official said this week.

Friday, the state Public Service Commission approved Charter Communications’ acquisition of Time-Warner Cable, and the agency imposed some requirements in the $55 billion deal — that Charter extend high-speed broadband Internet access to 145,000 presently unserved upstate New York households, while boosting digital data speeds to homes and businesses that already have Internet access.

Charter would also be required to boost its data delivery speed to 100 megabits per second for more than two million Charter and Time Warner customers by the end of 2018 and to >> Story Continued | pg. 13

Sheriff York sworn in, says it’s his last QUEENSBURY — The swearing in ceremony for Warren County Sheriff Bud York last week marks the official start to his third term, and will be, according to the Sheriff, his last.

District Attorney Kate Hogan led the service, explaining it was a quickly put together affair, as York, in typical humble fashion, had not requested fanfare. Still, the courtroom was packed.

York’s wife, Cheryl, two daughters, and a grand-

daughter were accompanied

by A SUNY Adirondack professor on piano opening the ceremony with the National Anthem.

He took his oath on his father’s Bible. The inscription, read by District Attorney Kate Hogan, revealed his father received it as a gift from his own father while serving in the military during World War II.

Proposed Lake George law bans deteriorated structures, debris on properties

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE — Owners and renters of properties in the town of Lake George will be required to keep their premises clean of litter as well as keep their buildings in good repair — if a proposed local law is adopted.

The town board is now in the process of drafting a property maintenance law, to be reviewed in a workshop meeting set for 3:30 p.m. Jan. 25 in the town hall. The law is envisioned to apply to both residential and commercial properties.

The first draft of the proposed ordinance requires that both vacant and occupied properties be kept clean of litter, trash and plant overgrowth, and that buildings are kept in good repair, structurally sound, sanitary, and free of broken glass.

Fences, retaining walls, steps, walkways and driveways also need to be kept in good shape.

All exterior surfaces of structures are to be kept painted or have another similar protective treatment applied.

This proposed law also prohibits dilapidated shingles or siding, crumbling masonry or structural conditions that reflect deterioration or inadequate maintenance. Surface and subsurface water is to be drained in and around buildings.

Fences must be kept painted or treated to prevent deterioration. The law’s initial draft suggests that fences to be white or earth-tones, if painted.

Properties are to be kept clear of “heavy undergrowth” or plant growth that is “unsightly or noxious.”

This first draft of the law also calls for one’s commercial or residential property to be kept free of “litter, debris, paper, dirt, garbage and junk.”

Property owners and renters are prohibited from allowing their properties — and their structures — from deteriorating to the point that “rats, rodents, pigeons, wild animals or other pests” be attracted to the premises.

In addition, the proposed law prohibits depositing snow onto public roadways — and bans dumping of brush, weeds, grass or other yard waste on the public right-of-way, without containing it in biodegradeable bags.

All rubbish and garbage must be placed in approved containers, which need to be provided by the property owners, who also must supply a covered container for recyclables.

Tenants of multi-family dwelling and commercial properties will also be responsible for exterminating insects, rodents or other pests on their premises.

This property maintenance law is to be enforced by the town code enforcement officer. Violations are punishable with a minimum fine of $100 per day while the condition exists for first offense, $250 per day for a second, and $500 per day for a third and subsequent instances within five years.

If a property owner doesn’t comply with the ordinance, the town board is to be empowered to have the property cleaned

up or repaired, and the cost of such work to be charged to the property owner on the next tax bill as a lien.

The Village of Lake George and the town of Warrensburg have had similar ordinances in effect for years.

Corey Mitchum named to Dean’s List TROY — Corey Mitchum of Lake George, studying in the Individual Studies academic program, was named to the Fall 2015 Dean’s List at Hudson Valley Community College.

Tax Committee to review applications THURMAN — The Thurman Occupancy Tax Committee will meet to review eight funding applications for tourism-related projects and events in, or relevant to, town of Thurman tourism Wednesday, Jan. 27, at the Thurman Town Hall, at 4 p.m. Applicants may attend and participate in the discussion of their respective applications, but are not required to do so. The public is invited to attend, but is asked to refrain from talking during the meeting. The session is hosted by Thurman Station Association, which contracts with the town to manage a portion of its annual share of Warren County occupancy taxes.

“It’s pretty obvious we have not always been in complete agreement as a board this year,” he said. “But I can also say that I believe each member of board takes their responsibility seriously. I will continue to encourage healthy debates and assure that everyone is heard and has the appropriate information in a timelier fashion to make informed decisions.”

His statement prompted compliments from several of the board members who had months ago questioned whether transparency was lacking.

Geraghty concluded his state-of-the-county speech on a note of optimism.

“I believe this board and the employees of our county, who are second to none, are up for the challenges that 2016 might bring,” he said.

NOTICES•

QUEENSBURY — Warren County is financially sound and has made substantial progress in recent years — but formidable challenges remain ahead, county Board of Supervisors chairman Kevin Geraghty told area leaders recently.

Rather than reciting a long list of governmental accomplishments, Geraghty focused on the issues to be tackled in the annual State of the County speech he delivered at the Board of Supervisor’s annual reorganizational meeting Jan. 6.

He did, however note that for the last two years and the upcoming year, the board had kept tax increases well within the state limit, ranging from 1.35 percent this next year to 1.57 percent in 2014.

“We continue to have a stable financial outlook for the future of Warren County,” he said.

Geraghty noted that the board had accomplished the sale of Westmount nursing home for $2.43 million, and that the transaction would save taxpayers a substantial sum in 2016 and upcoming years.

The sale had prompted considerable controversy in 2015, with some board members and citizens questioning the quality of care the new owner-operators would provide.

Other accomplishments Geraghty cited were the virtual completion of the Festival Commons in Lake George which

in its debut year hosted several nationally renowned acts; continued progress in the effort to curb aquatic invasive species, and renovation of county facilities to accommodate a new family court judge.

Geraghty also mentioned that meetings of the county Board of Supervisors are now being videotaped and broadcast via television and YouTube in an effort to boost public awareness of the governmental decision-making process.

Turning his attention to the future, Geraghty said lining up funds for two projects was high priority — constructing the proposed Science/Technology/Engeneering/Mathematics/ Nursing building at SUNY Adirondacks, and upgrading the emergency services communication system, which is hampered by dead spots through the county.

“We cannot continue to put our police officers and first responders at risk with a substandard radio system,” he said.

Also a top priority is to pursue new ways of sharing services between governmental entities, he said.

Transparency and efficiency in government operations was also a vital objective, he said, noting that the number of committees has been reduced from 25 to 14, and that he would schedule a night meeting at least once per quarter so working citizens could attend and participate.

Geraghty acknowledged the controversy erupting in 2015 over various projects and the claims of a few supervisors that governmental transparency needed improvement.

The Wishing Well

s kids we would ask mom, dad or a grand parent for a coin to throw in the wishing well.

They knew no matter how much money went into the well and no matter how hard we wished, the wish was never going to come true unless you shared your secret wish with them. But as a young child you had hope the toy or special wish just might magically appear someday.

Fanciful wishes back then might be to wish for a million dollars, which in the early 1960’s was a kings ransom.

You don’t see many wishing wells today and when you do run across one frequently it no longer has water in it and appears obsolete.

But alas today we have the Powerball Lottery which in many ways is really nothing more than today’’s version of the old wishing well.

I broke down and purchased my very first lottery ticket last week for the ultrahyper-slim chance upon chance that we might be lucky enough to win the $1.6 billion jackpot.

Ok, my wife and I went a little nuts we actually bought three tickets. For Christmas, our son and daughter-in-law put some scratch off tickets in our stockings and we apparently won $6. So why not push the whole enchilada back into the system and see if we could parlay our winnings into the big jackpot.

I’m sure we weren’t alone as the evening rolled along sharing thoughts on how we would use the funds.

All those positive dreams that millions were conjuring up in the days and hours before the drawing couldn’t help but spur everyone with a dream to think beyond themselves about the good things this money could do for so many more than just themselves.

If only wishes and dreams could come true think of all the joyful thoughts that were on the minds of the millions who took a chance and then just think how lucky we are to be alive. No matter how difficult our lives may be something as simple as a $2 dollar ticket can provide such fanciful thoughts for a few hours.

Now think about how better our world would be if we could all spend more time thinking about all the positive things we can do for our love ones, friends, charities and family with the blessings we’ve already been given to share. Perhaps we’ve missed the true mean of “Well Wishes” and what a “Wishing Well” is really all about?

Let’s face it wishes do come true and hope is all we need to brighten a cynical world.

Keeping local businesses afloat during winter is a team effort

T

here’s a lot to love about North Country winters — Ice fishing, skiing and snowmobiling are some of our favorite things.

These activities are also what makes our region so attractive to visitors and newcomers.

But there’s a lot to dislike, too — Road conditions, frozen pipes and seasonal unemployment tops the list.

So do businesses that close for the winter.

Take your pick of towns across the region: What’s the North Country equivalent of a tumbleweed?

We understand the dynamics. Who can blame some of these business owners?

It’s tough to make the numbers work when a large percentage of the population picks up stakes and skips town at the first sign of frost.

But what about the year-round folks who still need goods and services?

Unlike seasonal residents, we’re still here.

We plow roads, take care of seasonal homes, tow vehicles, teach kids, drive ambulances and fight fires.

Not only do we support these small businesses year-round, but also organize and facilitate the events that draw visitors into the community, where guests inject much-needed funds into the local economy.

So when a local shop closes for the winter, we can’t help but feel left out in the cold.

While local merchants have no real obligation to stay open for year-round residents, it sure would be nice.

Tranquility is a perk of living here, but it doesn’t mean we should have to embark on an epic quest to grab a midnight snack.

To be clear, there are broader forces at work here.

Businesses are continuing to struggle in the economic downtown. Taxes and regulatory burdens are throttling growth, while cozy entitlement programs continue to dissuade people from taking on low-paying work.

For owners, the job is just plain exhausting. Paired with the weather, it’s no surprise that Florida sounds good right about now.

We get it.

But the North Country needn’t take after the North Pole, once the razzledazzle of the holidays are in the rearview.

In these tiny communities, small businesses play a critical role in year-round sustainability.

Tourism is great. But it becomes irrelevant if there’s nowhere for people to spend money.

Success is possible. All the ingredients are here.

Deep pools of entrepreneurial talent bubble under the surface. Empty storefronts abound; economic development grants are gushing from the state tap, while inbound tourism continues to increase.

We all have roles to play.

Local officials need to continue lobbying for policies that will make the Adiron-

MissionÊ of Ê HopeÊ StoryÊ bringsÊ aÊ smile

To the Editor: On behalf of the Dragoon Family we would like to thank you for your recent coverage of The Mission of Hope Story and our mother Lucille Dragoon’s involvement. Your article was very nice and brought forth the concerns of many local residents for those less fortunate. Sister Debbie Blow does a fantastic job of organizing and executing the relief efforts on behalf of the North Country. Our family has been very fortunate to be a part of those efforts in a small way.

It was so good seeing the smile on Mom’s face when she saw the article and read it. It is always a good thing when folks are trying to do a very positive things for

dack Park more liveable on a year-round basis, including pushing for the state broadband funds that, despite being the subject of much pomp and circumstance, have been slow getting out the door.

Elected officials who are unable or unwilling to be strong cheerleaders for their communities should get out of the way.

Merchants, including those who take pages from Punxsutawney Phil’s playbook, might want to consider tweaking their business models to ensure that they’re offering a product or service that people actually want.

For instance: A wide selection of craft beer is something people will spend money on. So are specialities from local food producers, like choice cuts of meat and cheese.

What people don’t want: Marked-up stock that’s been on the shelves since the Reagan Administration.

Above all, regular people need to be supportive.

We have a responsibility to frequent the businesses that do stay open for the winter, even if it means paying a bit extra.

Shopkeepers do have a point when they gripe that despite all the positive talk by civic do-gooders, they seldom see these folks keeping their spending in the local community.

The next time you’re on your way home, reconsider buying local instead of picking up items at that larger chain store.

Perhaps the next time we’re fuming over that long car ride to buy a gallon of milk — or kicking ourselves as we go without — we can use the time to ponder how we can all help to ensure no one gets left out in the cold… or at least not without the proper provisions.

So many good citizens help out daily for those in need, it would be a great thing if all of them could be recognized.

They do not do it for the pat on the back, they do it because it is the right thing to do.

Again, thank you so much. We will continue to enjoy “The Sun” and your efforts to cover North Country news in a positive way. It is very much appreciated.

AdkÊ teamÊ andÊ AdkÊ brand

To the Editor: I commend and salute Lake Placid, its elected officials, ORDA, The Olympic Regional Development authority and ROOST, the Regional Organization of Sustainable Tourism. They reached out to us, the nearby towns and villages here in the Adirondacks, with the Empire State Winter Games (ESWG) some years ago and it’s worked. The games are now wholly “regional” and Adirondack towns and villages are working together on its brand, its identity and its entire strategic game plan in the process...and I, for one, am excited, because it is producing greater things for us all.

Five years ago, the state pulled its funding for the very popular ESWG, which drew thousands to Lake Placid each February. Instead of continuing it themselves … something they could have done and more-than-likely have succeeded in doing … Jim McKenna, from Roost, ORDA’s Ted Blazer, Lake Placid Mayor Craig Randall and Town of North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi did something unprecedented; they asked neighboring municipalities to share the promise, responsibility and the gains of this premier winter event and as a result, ESWG is on the verge of becoming so much bigger than ever before. ORDA, especially, continues to devote enormous resources to develop and keep the games going.

ESWG events are now held in Wilmington, Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, Tupper Lake. Paul Smith’s and, this year, Malone will be added. The games and its tourism dollars are not just confined to Lake Placid. It is now an “Adirondack” event with its success and marketing spread to an entire region.

In fact, the ESWG logo was changed and is now emblazoned with “Adirondacks,” and not the name of any individual village.

Last month, just outside of Malone, at the Titus Mountain Ski Area, County Legislator Barb Rice and I walked into a news conference at which new ESWG events were to be announced and the first people we saw were Essex County leaders, Randy Preston, from Wilmington, Keene’s Bill Ferebee and Jay’s former Supervisor Randy Douglas. We were surprised as Malone is a long drive from their home towns, but they wanted to be there in support of Malone, the games and the region. It was true team spirit present….as we heard the news that Titus Mountain will host an exciting “Big Air” skiing competition and Saranac Lake will host a first-ever “Fat Bike” event at its Mt. Pisgah. ESWG officials also announced that they want the games to expand even more and become “international” in the years ahead, a prospect we heartily applauded.

As ESWG has broadened, another very promising regional endeavor occurred: Local villages, towns and counties have affiliated with ROOST to promote the Adirondack Region. Essex, Franklin and Hamilton Counties have signed on as well as the villages of Tupper Lake and Saranac Lake. We see ROOST as the natural and superior marketing arm for the entire Adirondacks and the more municipalities that join and support its efforts, the more “The Adirondacks” will be known throughout the world. We know it is working. We see it in the numbers. The Adirondack brand is becoming more and more valuable and pays dividends to the smaller towns that cannot afford a national advertising budget. And we also see ROOST helping villages like Saranac Lake vie for even bigger things, like the 2017 World Snowshoe Championships. ROOST put together the SL bid package for the event and is helping us lobby for those championships….and we could not have done it without their expertise and resources.

All these good things happened because a few people and organizations “reached out” to surrounding towns to form a team and now, I firmly believe, our Adirondack Region will be stronger and more prosperous because of it. Excelsior� Mayor Clyde Rabideau Saranac Lake

CommunityÊ ralliesÊ forÊ Gabby

To the Editor: On Sunday, Feb. 7, family and friends will host a fundraiser at the Upper Jay Fire Department in honor of 18 year old community member Gabrielle (Gabby) Lincoln of Jay. Gabby received a Bilateral Lung Transplant Sunday, Jan. 10, at Boston’s Children Hospital. This was another huge milestone in her journey to better health. At the age of three, Gabby was diagnosed with Myeloid Leukemia, resulting in treatments of Radiation and Chemotherapy. In 2001, Gabby was the recipient of a Bone Marrow Transplant. Unfortunately, her lungs began to fail due to damage from a graft-versus host disease she contracted after the transplant.

As Gabby continues to recover at Boston’s Children Hospital for at least the next couple of months, her mother Anna and father Willie will remain by her side. To absorb some of the expenses incurred while staying in Boston with occasional travels back to their home in Jay, our small, close-knit community is rallying to relieve some of the financial burdens by hosting the upcoming fundraiser.

From 1 to 5 p.m., the fun-filled event will consist of a traditional Michigan Meal, Silent Auction, 50/50 Raffle and live entertainment. A donation of $8 for adults, $4 for children ages 4-12 is greatly appreciated. Children under the age of 4 are free and takeout will be available.

Donations for the silent auction are much needed. If you wish to make a donation, please contact Auction Coordinator, John (Sleepy) Pulsifer at 524-9562.

For further general fundraising inquiries or if you wish to send a monetary contribution, please contact Event Coordinators Patty VonDell at 4207777, Brooke Sorrell 593-5541 and Keri Ford at 572-4733.

Let’s continue to show Gabby and her family North Country friendship and support.

FirstÊ handÊ lookÊ atÊ Trump

To the Editor: Recently I had the privilege of hearing Donald Trump speak in Burlington, Vt. I found it to be quite an experience on a couple of fronts. I saw firsthand the Left’s attitude toward free speech. They had no intentions of being tolerant. Nonetheless, “The Donald” played them like a Stratovarius. With all the fuss generated by the protesters the event drew even more interested observers. His visit inside Bernie Sanders’ territory was also vintage Trump.

He went straight into the belly of the beast and came out with greater admiration and respect.

Secondly, Mr. Trump exudes tremendous confidence and leadership ability. Those traits were on full display that evening. His charisma (let alone his debate performances) has sucked the oxygen out of every rival’s campaign.

Some disagree with his remarks, but he undoubtedly has struck a chord.

People have embraced his “non-PC” campaign with welcome relief.

Mr. Trump believes in America; which is in stark contrast to the belittling and scolding of Obama.

In ten months we have a tremendous opportunity to “Make America great again�” Your vote will make it happen.

PeopleÊ helpingÊ people

To the Editor: 2015 was a great year for our food pantry. We were able to reach out and feed many people. This was possible through the generous giving of many organizations and individual people. Just to name a few were: The Regional Food Bank, Tops, VFW, Men’s Club, Richards Library, Warrensburg Elementary School, Warrensburg High School, Cornell Extension, Catholic Church, Methodist Church, Episcopal Church and Presbyterian Church.

We would also like to thank all those people who gave produce from their gardens all summer and fall so others might have fresh fruit and vegetables.

We were given milk cards and toiletry items. We were even given some new stuffed animals and back packs to hand out to the children. The children were so pleased.

We received donations in memory of loved ones which allowed us to purchase meats, canned goods, cereals, soups and many other needed items.

We are able to carry on this mission project because of all of you. Without your support we would not be able to feed and care for all those who come to us each week. Your generosity is very much appreciated. You are all so special to me. Thank you so much. God Bless.

COMMENTARY

Little Bits Ups and Downs Gordie Little

Columnist

W

hen asked how we feel, we might answer, “I have my ups and downs.” I guess my goal and yours would be to have far more ups than downs.

Kaye and I are enjoying a vacation in Florida. Because of its geographical location, we might refer to this state as “down” south.

Conversely, Morrisonville, would be “up” north. Pretty straightforward. But my friend Les Bradford sent me a note that caused me to ponder. I do a lot of that.

I had told him about someone who had gone “down” to the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino. He said he would have said “over” or “out” if he were heading for the Massena area. Les spent much of his adult life as a pilot and I wondered if being “up” in the air so much made a difference in his vocabulary.

I recalled that, when I was a youngster in Moira, we said we were going “up south.” There’s one for you to think about. In conducting an informal survey, I asked Kaye about growing up in Saranac Lake. Without a pause, she said “We always said we were going downtown.” She added, “We would sometimes go out in the country.” She also remembered going “up” to Gramma’s or “over” to a friend’s house.

I did some more research and learned it is really sometimes an elevation or geographical thing.

But, in some cases, it was started long ago and never changed.

“Uptown”, for some folks, meant where the rich or “uppity” people lived. “Downtown” was the opposite. Way back when, city fathers wanted the business district to sound special, so they called it “uptown.” Not in Plattsburgh, however. That has always been “downtown” as far as I know.

“Upstate” and “downstate” have different meanings and that is a controversy I’ve written about often. I was born near New York City and always heard Harlem referred to as “uptown.” Downtown was Greenwich Village.” Then, there was “midtown” Manhattan.

My friends from the United Kingdom almost always go “uptown” while we are heading “downtown” here in America.

If you study American history through literature, you find that “uptown” and “downtown” changed over time. By the early 20th century, the central business district had been pretty much established as “downtown.” Confused yet?

Les set my brains to scrambling by telling me how things were in Middleboro, Massachusetts: “Down in Carver, Plymouth and the Cape Region, while Grandma Bradford lived over in Whitman.

We went up to Boston.” Whew.

Then, he started with things like “out so sea” to further confuse me. My head filled with Billy Joel’s 1983 hit, “Uptown Girl.”

Les and Helga owned a camp on Cumberland Head called “Upta,” as in “Up to camp.” By the way, is Australia really “down under?”

I’m counting on you to unravel this whole thing while I take a nap up in my room.

Young Burgher wrestlers step up in local duals

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — With four of Warrensburg High School’s leading wrestlers sidelined during the annual Warrensburg Duals Meet held recently, several younger wrestlers who have served in a backup role this season proved their athleticism, helping their team win a second-place finish in the competitive tournament. The Duals Meet featured wrestlers competing in five matches in one long day.

The Warrensburg wrestlers demonstrated their grit and endurance Jan. 9, tieing for second place with two other teams among the six participating. In the Burghers’ two losses, the winner wasn’t determined until the final match, coach Mark Trapasso said.

“The competition was super,” he said. “Even in our two losses, it came right down to the wire.”

Beekmantown won the tournament. Runners-up beside Warrensburg were Morrisville Eaton and Holland Patent.

Warrensburg’s Chris Simpson, McKenzie Blydenburgh, Chris Wilson and Gary Hill all had to sit out of the entire duals meet — to avoid being disqualified from sectionals because they had already competed in the maximum number of tournament matches allowed this season.

Stepping into their weight classes respectively were Sophomore Trevor Prosser, Freshman Cole Shambo, Sophomore Jacob Johnson and Sophomore Donald Carpenter.

“Every one of our wrestlers contributed,” Trapasso said.

Burghers winning four of their five matches were Greg Shambo at 132 pounds, Hunter McKenna at 99 pounds, and Cody Ewald in the 182-pound weight class.

Winning three of five matches were Trevor Winchell at 106 pounds, Trevor Prosser at 145 pounds, Jack Binder at 195, and Ben Ewald at 220.

Warrensburg started off their five matches by beating Hudson Falls 48 to 27. The Burghers then lost to Morrisville-Eaton 46 to 36, but bounced back to defeat Holland Patent 48 to 39.

Warrensburg then edged out Hoosick Falls 42 to 38, and finished off the long day with a 46-40 loss to tournament winner Beekmantown.

Burghers pinning their opponents in the first round were Zach Davis, Nolan McNeill, Greg Shambo, Trevor Prosser (twice in three pins), Ryan McNeill (also twice in three pins), Cole Shambo (twice), Den Ewald (twice in three pins), and Donald Carpenter.

Jack Binder recorded the fastest pin — he accomplished it in 11 seconds in his third match of the day. His record was followed by McNeill’s pin in 13 seconds and Trevor Winchell, who pinned one of his opponents in 19 seconds. Cody Ewald also tallied a pin, although it wasn’t in the first round.

The tournament was evenly matched, as each team beat at least one other team during the day, Burgher Coach Mark Trapasso said. “Each team’s coach praised the level of competition, and they all want to come back next year.”

“The tournament was fantastic,” Trapasso added. “Every coach praised to level of competition. They all want to come back next year.”

Trapasso said that he was proud of each of his wrestlers for contributing not only in the tournament, but in their string of victories this season. As of Jan. 11, Warrensburg’s win-loss record was 17-4 overall and 2-0 in the league.

“Our team lineup is filled with athletic kids who are working hard,” Trapasso said, predicting his athletes will be reaching their peak performance in the sectionals next month.

“We’re winning meets, and it’s filling the stands with fans.”

One Hundred Years Ago – January, 1916 Young girl suffers tragedy Miss Elizabeth Dow, 18, of Athol, while visiting Mr. and Mrs. Don H. Cameron, in New York, died Monday morning, Jan. 17, 1916 of asphyxiation caused by gas flowing from an half open jet which lit the room she occupied. When found she was still alive and a physician was quickly summoned, but in spite of his efforts to retrieve her, she died without regaining consciousness.

When Miss Dow left her home Friday, Jan. 14, 1916 she was in comparatively good health and the news of her death therefore came as a great shock to her relatives and friends. It is believed that she possessed no knowledge of modern gas jets and had inadvertently allowed the gas to keep flowing into the room after the flame had been extinguished.

Miss Dow was a daughter of Henry Dow, of Thurman.

Her brother James Dow went to New York on Monday and brought her body home, arriving with it at Thurman Station.

The funeral was held that day at noon in the Methodist Episcopal Church, in Athol. (Note – As I write this real life story of the demise of poor Lizzie Dow, my television is on in the background to an old movie station. Playing is the well known 1947 drama, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. The tale relates how the “ghost,” a retired sea captain, met his end when the flame in his bedroom gas jet went out and he was asphyxiated as he laid sleeping in his bed. How is that for a coincidence?)

Miserable January weather The recent earthquake was both heard and felt in Johnsburgh, but not, it seems, as much as it was in some other places.

The weather is very cold and the wind blows most of the time. Roads are good but there is not much travel and there is not even as many drummers (traveling salesmen) as usual on the roads.

Friday and Saturday, Jan. 7 and 8, 1916, were the coldest days of the season thus far, thermometers registering from fifteen to eighteen below zero, according to the location of the instrument or the veracity of the reader. The thermometer registered twenty degrees below zero Saturday morning, in North Thurman and Bakers Mills. Skating and coasting are popular sports here now.

Ice cutting has begun at Mosten’s Pond, Wevertown.

Epidemic sweeps country

www.suncommunitynews.com

Turning Back The Pages Jean Hadden > Columnist jhadden1@nycap.rr.com

The most serious epidemic of influenza, or grippe, ever known to exist in this country is spreading from coast to coast, taking a large toll in lives and causing economic loss by incapacitating workers in all walks of life. The disease is spreading at an alarming rate and is causing many deaths, many cases developing into pneumonia.

The mortality is especially heavy among persons over sixtyfive. Cleveland and Detroit have probably 100,000 cases. The Federal authorities say that they are practically helpless to aid in stemming the tide of the epidemic.

In Warrensburgh only a few cases are reported but we can not expect to escape as the disease continues to spread. The grippe epidemic has broken out at Hoopers Mine inNorth River. About fifteen cases are reported at present. People are warned to not “catch the breath” of another person who is sneezing or coughing and to not use a pencil that someone else has been using and to go to bed early and sleep with the window open. Sweaters or heavy coats should not be worn in the house.

(Note – “The Spanish influenza,” as it was known, came at a very bad time in American history while World War I was raging. The worst year was 1918. It killed more people than the Black Plague and the awful war did. “La Grippe” originated in China and infected an estimated 500 million people and killed an estimated 50 to 100 million people worldwide.

One unfortunate person that comes to my mind was Barbara Stewart, who married famous town historian Stewart Farrar in 1916 and died in the influenza epidemic of 1919 after she has given birth to their son, James S. Farrar. James was the father of former Richards Library Librarian Sarah Farrar.)

Mutilated but still surviving With one eye shot out, one side paralyzed and his face filled with shot, Horace S. Ballou, 22, whose home is in Binghamton, was taken to the Moses Hospital in Ticonderoga on Christmas day, 1915, in which was believed to be in a dying condition.

The young man received his wound while hunting and Dr. George Bibby had him removed to the hospital for an operation, the long journey made by sleigh by way of Graphite and Hague, reaching the hospital around midnight.

Dr. Cummins removed the shattered left eye and took out a piece of the skull to relieve the pressure upon the brain that caused the paralysis of the right side. Between twenty and thirty shot was taken from the man’s face and chest but those that had penetrated the eye and passed into the brain could not be removed.

The accident occurred while Ballou was hunting with a companion, Walter Dunkle, with whom he had been camping. Dunkle states that Ballou was using his gun as a cane and the weapon went off as he was climbing over a fence, striking him in the face. Dunkle has been in constant attendance upon his wounded friend since the accident.

Unbelievable bad luck Henry Ashe, proprietor of the Agricultural Hotel, (now Ashe’s) in Warrensburgh, who was in St. Peter’s Hospital, in New York, under treatment for blood poison, has been pronounced out of danger by his physicians unless some new complication arises.

Mr. Ashe has undergone two operations. The great toe of his right foot was amputated last Thursday, Jan. 6, 1916 and this failing to check the infection, the leg was cut off above the knee Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 11, 1916 and this leaves Mr. Ashe with no legs as he lost his left one about two years ago from the same cause.

Mr. Ashe and son, Maurice, whom has been with him through the ordeal, will return home Saturday. (Note – Henry S. Ashe was born in Thurman in 1858. In 1888 he and his father, James H. Ashe purchased what would later become the Agricultural Hotel from Walter Baker, a professional horse trainer, on Hudson Street. Even with his legs gone, Henry Ashe served as assessor of Warrensburgh from 1916 to 1920.

He died in 1922. His hotel survives today, alive and well, under good management.)

Sweet and sour notes Charles Wood, while working on a telephone pole on Elm Street, Warrensburgh, lost his footing and fell to the sidewalk below, a distance of about thirty feet.

The Rev. Bert S. Van Vleet became the father of a fine baby boy which was presented to him by his wife as a New Year’s gift at their home in North Chestertown.

SPCA contract approved

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

Snowsled << Continued from | p. 1

The money stays locally, offering things like gas cards, help with co-pays, lodging for those patients that travel to larger facilities for a second opinion and prepaid cell phone minutes.

“Those are little things that can really add up,” said Brockway.

One particular patient, however, brought Brockway to tears when she learned how the money raised helped him.

“He had esophageal cancer. Our funding helped get a new (voice) box, so he could communicate with the world,” she said.

Each year, the group gets a letter from C.R. Wood detailing how every dollar of their donations were spent.

“Those things are as important as getting the word out. We want everyone to know about early detection, but we want them to know where their donations are going,” she said.

While Brockway defeated breast cancer, she said their cause touches all kinds of cancer. Odds are, most people know someone who’s had their life affected by cancer. For

Brockway, her family is likely affected more than most.

“We’re a cancer family,” she said, noting brain, kidney and skin cancers have struck her closest relatives. In addition, “three of my life-long friends have died,” she said. Another friend was diagnosed just weeks ago.

The event starts and ends at the Boar’s Nest, 1263 Patten Mills Road, Fort Ann, with time to be determined. Trails are groomed for the event by Kingsbury Barnstormers Snowmobile Club and Hartford Ridge Riders. In the event there is not enough snow to ride, participants will trailer snowmobiles to trails in Indian Lake or Long Lake. Non-riders can join at Boar’s Nest for a gathering after the ride. Preregistration is preferred so organizers can order food, however, registration will be taken on the event day. The cost to participate is $10 per adult, children ages 6-10 are $5 and under 5 years old are free. Auction, baskets and dinner will be available.

QUEENSBURY — Payments of up to $80,000 annually, an increase from $20,000, to Warren County SPCA were approved in a renewed contract last week, but not without a lengthy discussion and motion to table the decision. The board, however, approved the contract as submitted.

Most vocal in his apprehension to accept the contract was Horicon Supervisor Matt Simpson.

“This isn’t about Jim (Fitzgerald, SPCA president) or the SPCA. This contract just happened to be the one in front of me,” said Simpson about his line of questioning.

“If there’s anything that stands out on my first two years, it’s that we need to do a better job at seeing where our money is going,” he said.

He said he was first alerted by a Warren County resident that the contract needed a closer look.

A simple arithmetic error was found in the submission detailing expenditures by the SPCA. That error, said Simpson, raised concerns about how the county is upholding its obligations.

“How can we move forward,” asked Simpson, if the basics of the previous contract were not met.

“Our contract says we need to verify,” he said. “We should have a certain level of scrutiny. I don’t think we have that,” he said.

In response, Fitzgerald addressed the board, stating the SPCA has been operating at a loss. He explained the many improvements that have taken place at the agency in the past year, as well as a new software program helping in the creation of financial reports. He suggested any issues with the SPCA should have been taken up prior to the meeting.

“I’m afraid you are getting caught up in something bigger than this contract,” said Glens Falls Third Ward Supervisor Claudia Braymer.

Fitzgerald agreed.

Braymner suggested

the creation of a temporary contract to give time amend the language of the full contract. No action was taken in that direction.

Glens Falls Fifth Ward Supervisor Matt MacDonald made a motion to table the vote, which was defeated. The contract was passed as submitted with Simpson and Glens Falls Fourth Ward Supervisor Jim Brock opposed.

Following the meeting, Simpson again clarified his concern was not with the SPCA and its services.

“It happened to be the SPCA today, but it could be any contract. These are tax dollars. This is our problem. It’s a failure in our jobs as supervisors if we aren’t supervising these funds.”

300 Mbps a year later. Meanwhile, Charter will be required to provide a minimum of 60 Mbps to all of the customers of the combined company.

The deal also calls for 700,000 low-income households to be provided with Internet access of at least 30 Mbps at an unprecedented price of $14.99 per month.

EDC Warren County President Ed Bartholomew attended Lt. Governor Hochul’s announcement of the merger approval Friday. The presentation to politicians, economic development officials and press representatives was held in New Paltz.

“This is a very important step forward, a project valued at $355 million that Charter will have to undertake to boost broadband access,” Bartholomew said. “This is likely to substantially reduce the unserved and underserved areas in Warren, Washington and Saratoga counties — and elsewhere in the Adirondacks.”

Bartholomew also said that the dictate to boost digital delivery speeds was also vitally important.

Time Warner’s speeds are now typically up to 15 Mbps, and Verizon’s FIOS residential service now generally ranges from 50 Mbps to 100 Mbps.

Time Warner has a large customer base in Warren County, and Charter now serves households and businesses in Clinton County.

Also announced Friday in New Paltz were details of the state’s $500 million New NY Broadband Program, which has a goal of providing high-speed Internet access to every New Yorker by the end of 2018.

The program focuses on public-private partnerships that provide financial assistance with “last-mile” broadband connections in remote areas. The state has recently issued Requests for Proposals for vendors who will offer broadband speeds of at least 100 Mbps in cities and 25 Mbps in rural areas.

The state is to provide a 50 percent match for installation costs.

Bartholomew said that he and other area officials will be preparing an application on behalf of Warren County to obtain funding through the New NY Broadband Program. The application is due March 1, and announcement of grants is to occur April 15.

Bartholomew said the application, to be made through the Capital Region Economic Development Council, would be seeking not only broadband enhancement and extension, but boosted cellular service and improvements in public emergency radio communications.

Bartholomew said he would be monitoring plans for any new cellular towers, and help facilitate location of additional antennas and dishes that transmit emergency services radio transmissions on those new towers.

Warren County Emergency Services Director Brian LaFlure has for years warned county officials that firefighters, EMTs and patrol officers have been unable to communicate with dispatchers in are various spots throughout the county.

Bartholomew added that he and others would be seeking to make sure that the communication needs of emergency services personnel would be addressed.

“There’s a lot of work ahead of us,” he said, noting that needs assessment and scrutiny of cell, radio and broadband coverage maps were among many initial steps.

“This is a very important issue for all of Warren County and the region,” he said.

Three sex crime charges for L.G. man

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

QUEENSBURY — An 18-year-old Lake George man is in jail, accused of rape, sexual abuse and sexual misconduct for three separate incidents.

Lloyd A. Watkins (pictured), 84 Birch Ave., was charged Jan. 12 with first-degree rape, a class B felony. The arrest came following the report of a male subject who forcibly had sex with a 17-year-old female in a town of Johnsburg residence Dec. 2.

Police say the victim and Watkins were known to one another. The incident was reported to police Jan. 7.

Watkins was arraigned and remanded to the Warren County Correctional Facility in lieu of $10,000 cash, $20,000 bond for bail. Bond was subsequently posted.

A no-contact order of protection was issued on behalf of the victim.

During the course of the investigation, in which police described Watkins as “libidinous,” it was determined at least one other female victim may exist.

Watkins was charged Jan. 19 with one count of sexual misconduct, a class A misdemeanor. That arrest stems from an incident involving sexual activity with a 15-year-old female in Lake George.

An additional charge of sexual abuse in the first degree, a class D felony, was also filed against Watkins. In that incident, Watkins is alleged to have forcibly subjected another 15-year-old female to sexual contact in the town of Warrensburg.

Police said additional victims contacted investigators following the news of Watkins’ first arrest.

The cases were investigated by Investigators Russ Lail and Terri Jeffords.

Warren County to look at board of legislators

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

QUEENSBURY — The ball is already rolling to look at the structure of the Warren County Board of Supervisors, after the urging by outgoing Queensbury Supervisor at-Large Mark Westcott as he exited office, calling the make-up of the board’s voting power “unconstitutional.”

“I’m going to be open-minded to both sides,” said Queensbury Supervisor John Strough, newly named chair to the committee that will take a look at the structure and a possible move to a Board of Legislators.

“There are pros and cons to both,” he said.

The Board will host a presentation from the state’s Association of Counties in February, offering information on options available to the board.

A Board of Legislators is created by the formation of districts within the county. Each district would contain a likeamount of residents, eliminating the need for the current structure of weighted votes for Supervisors at the county level.

Supervisors of the smaller, northern towns have been vocal about their opposition to such a structure.

“Our current structure brings the people closer to the government,” said Horicon Supervisor Matt Simpson.

With about 1,450 residents in his town, it would be likely Horicon would be formed into a district with several towns.

“I don’t want to challenge the constitutionality,” he said if the current structure, “I don’t have enough knowledge, yet,” What he could speak to, however, was how districts could affect small towns.

“I’m held accountable by a smaller amount of people,” he said. “It doesn’t take a lot of people to make that change,” he said if a representative was not doing a good job and needed to be voted out. In contrast, it would be easier for a small town and their issues to fall through the cracks when represented at a district level.

Johnsburg Supervisor Ron Vanselow agreed with the obstacles created when a district is comprised of several towns.

“I think if I was representing four different towns, when you are trying absorb everything, it’s a lot of stuff to keep track of.”

No map or suggested districts have been presented to the current Board.

Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Wood does not sit on the Legislative Committee, but said she planned to attend the meetings.

“It would add a layer of government,” she said of the Board of Legislators.

“We just started consolidated purchasing. The towns are heavily vested, and a majority made it into that plan,” she said.

Without the interaction that currently takes place between department heads and Supervisors, such developments could be lost. Bigger for Wood, though, was the communication facilitated through the current system and what that means for public safety.

Hurricane Irene was a perfect example of when that communication was necessary.

“Amy Hirsch (County Emergency Services Coordinator) and Brian LaFlure (Director/Fire Coordinator) had come to a county meeting and trained each town,” she said.

As Supervisor, she said, she was responsible for declaring the disaster.

“We were able to coordinate much better,” she said.

A Board of Legislators would eliminate that type of continuous town and county interaction.

“It creates double the work load for the departments,” she said.

Lake George Supervisor Dennis Dickinson said he is “totally opposed” to a new structure. His town has approximately 3,500 residents. With a total county population nearing 70,000 and 20 representatives on the current board, Dickinson said he represents an average number of residents. “I was Supervisor 30-some years ago. It worked great then and it works now,” he said. “We have a weighted vote, that’s the equalizing factor.”

Still the weighted vote has allowed the more populated Queensbury and Glens Falls to swing a vote unfavorably for his town, at times. He worried a Legislative Board would multiply those issues.

Dickinson recalled a time when Glens Falls was having a problem with late night barroom incidents.

“We have resort business. Four months a year, we are busy at night,” he said. A county wide law was passed eliminating the late night barroom hours, he said, based on the needs of Glens Falls and, in turn, negatively affecting Lake George businesses. Dickinson’s suggestion for improvement, he said, “If anything, we should subdivide Queensbury in half,” said.

Chester Supervisor Craig Leggett called the suggestion that the current board is unconstitutional “a political theory. No one has come up and said ‘I’m not represented,’” he said.

Like other small townships, he worried about their needs getting lost in the shuffle.

“If it’s not broke don’t fix it. If we had a legislator, the people at the north end of our town would become invisible.”

His town has different needs, he said, as do those with seasonal residences, estimated to be about half of the homes in Chester.

Queensbury at-Large Supervisor Matt Sokol, like Strough, was waiting for more information to form an opinion.

“There are some things wrong with the system, but there are some great things,” he said. “Hopefully, we’ll hear some good and bad points,” he said of the upcoming discussions.

Strough said he understand the arguments from both sides.

“If you look now, we have equity in representatives,” he said.

Supervisors from Queensbury do represent 42 percent of the voting power on the board, but they represent 42 percent of the county’s population.

Glens Falls shows the same distribution, with 22 percent of the population and 22 percent of the vote.

“Anything that gets voted on, at least its fairly representative,” said Strough.

Without benefit of any suggested districts, he tossed some numbers out for conversation.

With a county population of 70,000, if broken into 10 districts with 7,000 each, “Queensbury would get four representatives,” he said. They currently have five. Glens Falls with a population of 14,000 would get two representatives. They currently have five.

“I think we have to draw it out on white paper and look at all angles, plus and minuses of both sides,” said Strough. “But I understand the current arguments are very strong.”

Lake levels, affordable housing, facility upgrades mulled by Chester board

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

CHESTERTOWN — Silt and debris in the Schroon Lake watershed — and its vast size itself — makes effective and consistent control of lake levels difficult, town of Chester leaders learned last week.

Tom Luciano, one of three commissioners of the Schroon Lake Park District, conducted a presentation to the Chester Board Jan. 12 about the challenges involved in maintaining water levels.

The town meeting was the first in more than two decades held under a new Town Supervisor — Craig Leggett, who was elected in November and took office two weeks ago after the retirement of long-tenured supervisor Fred Monroe.

Luciano said that the Schroon Lake watershed is 586 square miles — and includes Elk Lake, Eagle Lake and Paradox Lake; and the amount of water that falls into this expansive area means the severe storms of recent years often funnel a substantial amount of water into Schoon Lake.

Some shoreline property owners have at times expressed concerns about their docks being submerged.

Luciano said that silt and debris has for years been accumulating in the southern end of Schroon Lake and the first half-mile of the Schroon River, which is the lake’s outlet — and this sedimentation buildup has contributed to the problem of maintaining appropriate lake levels.

Luciano suggested that the sediment be vacuumed from the river’s channel so Starbuck Dam — about 5.5 miles south of Schroon Lake — would be more effective at controlling the lake level. He also noted that the Adirondack Park Agency has recommended that shoreline property owners replace their existing docks with floating docks to avoid damage incurred from the storms which have occasionally dumped 10 or more inches of water on the lake’s watershed.

At the Jan. 12 meeting, bids were opened for the construction of a silo to hold wood pellets to feed the biomass boiler that will be heating the Chester Municipal Center.

Chester is one of the first municipalities in the state to convert to alternative energy sources — they already have several large

solar arrays powering their town highway garage, municipal center transfer center and other town facilities.

Two bids were received for constructing the wood-pellet silo — one from Adirondack Development & Builders for $31,745 and the other from VMJR Companies LLC of Queensbury for $27,000. The board decided to have their consulting engineers review the bids before awarding a contract.

“We expect to move forward in the next several weeks on the project,” Leggett said following the Jan. 12 meeting.

In other matters before the board, Leggett announced that the town has boosted its recycling efforts. He said that all recyclable plastics, cardboard, boxboard and paper were now being accepted at the town transfer station for recycling, in addition to metals, steel cans, glass, aluminum and the other traditional materials. Also, a new sign has been erected at the transfer station — citing the hours it is open.

Also, Leggett described the upgrades pending for the Dynamite Hill Recreation Area.

He noted that the rope tow on the ski Hill would be replaced with a Mighty Mite tow.

The new tow device is to be paid partially with a grant, the remainder being funded by Occupancy Tax receipts.

“The new ski tow is expected to be favorable for children and snowboarders,” Leggett said, noting that May is the target date for installing the device. The Chestertown Rotary Club is assisting in the project.

Also, Leggett announced the formation of a committee to review the town zoning laws and suggest updates to the town board. The committee is to be composed of two people each from the planning board and the zoning board of appeals, two members of the town board, and two citizens from the community at-large.

The board appointed board members Karen DuRose and Edna Wells to the committee and decided to advertise to solicit the citizens-at-large to participate. The zoning board of appeals and the planning board will be designating their respective members.

Finch Forestry Management is to begin harvesting timber from the Dynamite Hill Recreation Area and other town-owned lands, Leggett said, noting the selective cutting is to be conducted by Finch Forestry

Management. The work is expected to begin in February, he added.

In other business, the town board established a capital reserve fund to purchase a new trash compactor, designating $40,000 to the fund — money that’s already either been saved or budgeted towards the total cost of $60,000 or so. The existing trash compactor is more than 25 years old. Leggett said the compactor is to be replaced in 2017.

Also, the board discussed applying for an Adirondack Smart Growth state grant in an effort to bring more affordable housing to the Town of Chester, moving the project ahead in accordance with some of the recommendations stemming from a study conducted in 2011 by the LA Group municipal planning firm. Adirondack Smart Growth Grants are awarded under the auspices of the state Department of Environmental Conservation.

Leggett advised the board members that a new plow truck has been delivered to the town highway department. Leggett said the cab and chassis was purchased for about $120,000 through a state contract.

Additionally, the board discussed launching a municipal Facebook page. Leggett told the board the social media platform could disseminate information more quickly and to a wider audience than the town’s existing website. The board endorsed a suggestion to draw up a plan and policy regarding the Facebook page.

At the conclusion of the meeting, the town board went into an executive session to consider a potential agreement with the Civil Service Employees Association’s bargaining unit that represents many of the town employees. No action was taken on the work contract that expired Dec. 31.

Empire State Winter Games set ADIRONDACKS — The countdown has begun to the start of the Empire State Winter Games (ESWG) in the Adirondack region.

The 36th edition of the ESWG will begin with a torch run in the North Country Feb. 1 that continues through Feb. 4. A completely revamped Opening Ceremony, with a number of new elements takes place in the 1980 Herb Brooks Arena, at 6 p.m.

Keynote speaker will be Edie Thys Morgan, a two-time Olympian in alpine skiing (1988, 1992) and one of the top 10 downhill and super G skiers in the world at that time.

ESWG competitions are set to take place in Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, Tupper Lake, Paul Smiths and Malone.

Games officials reported that entries were “pouring in” with more than 1,100 athletes registered. Figure skating experienced a 14 percent growth in numbers compared to last year. The 2015 ESWG hosted 1,620 athletes. Organizers are hoping to attract 1,800 next month.

“This year’s addition of a number of contemporary action sports, cash prizes and international scope are resonating,” said James McKenna, president of the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism. “The excitement is building for the expanded version of what was already the largest annual multiple sports event in North America.”

Newly-created and hybrid events will take place at Titus Mountain where slopestyle courses and big air features for skiers and boarders are being sculpted. These athletes will battle for their share of the $8,000 purse. One million cubic yards of snow has already been created for the Games.

Mount Pisgah will be the site of uphill and downhill cross country races on bikes. Competitors there will eye the $4,000 that is at stake in bike cross, cross country and bike enduro.

Also, winter bike event winners in each race will receive free round-trip airline tickets from Cape Air valid wherever Cape Air flies.

Spectators are encouraged to attend the ESWG free of charge. For more information, a complete schedule of events and results during the Games, visit eswgames.com or follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
