Farewell to office Fred Monroe honored

Dusek reﬂects on his career with Warren County Municipal CEO to retire in March By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

QUEENSBURY — Approaching retirement at the end of March, Warren County Administrator Paul Dusek — the top executive officer of local government — shared his thoughts this week about his eventful career. Dusek was raised in Warrensburg after his family moved to the area in the mid-1960s. He graduated Warrensburg Central School in 1973, having attended since fourth grade. Dusek continued his education at Adirondack Community College, where he studied for two years. He met his wife at ACC — and in 1975 they were chosen as ACC Winter Weekend King and Queen by the student body. Months later, they were married, and decided to live in Queensbury, their pres-

ent hometown. After graduating from ACC, Paul Dusek worked as a salesman at Montgomery Ward department store, continuing to take a few courses at the local community college. In 1986, the two moved to Colonie — and Paul attended Siena College for two years, graduating in 1978. Later that year, he studied at Albany Law School, graduating in 1981. Dusek was admitted to the bar in 1982. He then worked for a law firms in Albany, Schenectady and Poughkeepsie before he took the full-time position of town attorney for Queensbury in 1988. Dusek was chosen as Warren County Attorney in 1996, and he was promoted to the county Administrator post in March 2010. His peers say it was due to his work in dramatically reducing expenditures and improving efficiency of county government. Between March 2010 and August 2011, he served >> Story Continued | pg. 4

Large turnout honors former supervisor Fred Monroe

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

BRANT LAKE— Guests at Jimbo’s Friday night, Jan. 29, were encouraged “Do-Nut Forget Fred,” as they celebrated the retirement of Chester Supervisor Fred Monroe after 24 years in his role, while poking fun at Monroe’s “love affair with doughnuts.” Stickers that bore the phrase, along with a comical photo rendering Monroe’s face popping though a glazed doughnut, were distributed to every the more than 160 guests. “It was like a reunion for me,” said Bernie McCann, master of ceremonies, following the event. It was like that for many guests, as decades of Monroe’s public service and dedication to Adirondack causes touched many people. While accolades were given for the progress and improvements Monroe brought to Chester and Warren County, the night was filled with humorous stories and recollections from a slew of guest speakers. As a retirement cake with candles was presented, the crowd launched in to a round of, “Happy Birthday.” The scene was mobbed with photo-takers, and the glow of camera flashes was reminiscent of a red carpet paparazzi scene. A slideshow of photos set to music, courtesy of Carol, and Taylor Kimbrell, earned raucous laughter and applause. Guests were treated to a glimpse of Monroe’s life outside public service, as his son Shawn Monroe shared funny family memories. Monroe received a continuous line of thank you gifts, plaques, a clock, an Adirondack chair and of course, a gift certificate for more doughnuts. Some part-time jobs were suggested to Monroe to fill his time, though he jokingly offered to serve as a plow wingman for the town. State Assemblyman Dan Stec, R-Queensbury, who previously served on the county board alongside Monroe as Queensbury Supervisor, had a funnier idea.

Hinging off the recent heckler at the Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s State of the State Address, Stec suggested he and Monroe could meet on the, “second Friday of the month to heckle the Warren County Board.” It was Monroe who had the last laugh, however, when he announced to the crowd, “The board meets on the third Friday.” Newly seated Chester Supervisor Craig Leggett suggested some side jobs for Monroe, as well, such as working at the boat wash station or Dynamite Hill, or logging time as a lifeguard. He acknowledged Monroe’s work in office, highlighting just a few accomplishments as, “at least 5,000 resolutions were

passed in the town alone.” He noted Monroe’s “Herculean effort” in managing to save some $10 million in the burn plant project and the recent addition of a medical marijuana facility in the town, a business that was likely unheard of when Monroe took his first role as town attorney in 1980. Leggett thanked Monroe for his assistance in preparing him for his new position, but made sure to mention what Monroe left in the desk: A box of Freihofer’s doughnuts.

New dinner excursions, upgrades planned for SNCR By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

NORTH CREEK — The Saratoga North-Creek Railway will be boosting its schedule of dinner trains this summer and fall after such service has been popular in recent years, according to a company official. Railway General Manager Justin Gonyo announced the dramatically expanded dinner service — which will feature new upscale cars — to Warren County Supervisors at the county’s monthly Public Works Committee meeting Jan. 25.

The railway will be offering 94 dining excursions this year from June 4 thru Oct. 28. The upgraded accommodations are to feature a 48-passenger dining car with a larger, full kitchen capable of serving up to 300 meals per run as well as a “luxurious” lounge car with a fullservice bar, couches and oversized chairs, Gonyo said. The new accommodations will give dinner-train passengers the opportunity socialize in comfort, he added. For the past several years, the dinner trips have featured the dome cars equipped

merely with a small galley. This dining service began in 2013 with four trips, and was increased annually to 14 last year, and all but one of these trips were sold out. The dining excursions include 31 dinner trains, 26 brunch trains, 32 lunch trains, and five holiday trains serving both lunch and brunch. The expanded array of dining trips — to run between Saratoga Springs and Thurman station — is apt to help the railway’s finances. The railway is calling their diner excursions with their

upgraded accommodations “The Pullman Table,” referring to the iconic Pullman rail passenger service popular during the early 20th century. The railway’s parent company, Iowa Pacific, acquired the Pullman name in 2012 and has used it in connection with their commuter train service in Oklahoma and trips they run in collaboration with Amtrak from Chicago to New Orleans. “We are very pleased this premier luxury service will be coming to the SaratogaNorth Creek Railway,” Gonyo said. For years, SNCRR has suf-

fered disappointing ridership except for its annual holidaythemed Polar Express trains — short excursions out of Saratoga Springs marketed for children. In 2015, these Polar Express trips attracted nearly 25,000 passengers between Nov. 17 to Dec. 28, Gonyo said. The railway’s “snow trains,” intended to take skiers from Saratoga Springs to North Creek for skiing at Gore Mountain, were scuttled this year due to lack of passengers in recent years. Last year, SNCRR operated 32 snow trains. SNCRR announced in late November they were discontinuing the snow trains — before the lack of snowfall and warm temperatures of winter 2015 were evident. “We’re looking forward to the spring, summer and fall seasons,” Gonyo said. By contract, Warren County and the town of Corinth — which own the tracks and rail bed — required SNCRR to operate a minimum of 30 snow trains, but the two municipalities have allowed the railway to drop the snow trains without legal consequences. The five-year contract between SNCRR and Warren County and Corinth expires in June, and negotiations are underway on a new contract, county Administrator Paul Dusek said Feb. 1. Food and beverages to be served on the new Pullman

Table trips are to be sourced locally whenever possible, featuring many premier local businesses and providers, Gonyo said. “This is an exciting new biz franchise that will be running alongside our regularly scheduled trains,” he said. At the Jan. 25 meeting, Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Wood asked Gonyo about the caboose the railway brought to Thurman station last year as a new attraction. Gonyo had said in early 2015 that the caboose was to host a snack concession during summer and fall for rail travelers, but the concession never opened, Wood noted. “It will open up this spring,” Gonyo replied. “We still have an interested operator for the caboose.”

as both county Attorney and county Administrator, working long hours and on weekends, for one single salary.

Dusek worked to contain tax increases During this era, he conducted extensive research into the operations of county government — and made recommendations for staffing cuts and ways to boost efficiency. His work was credited for the recent balanced budgets and boosted cash reserves that have turned the county’s finances around. Earlier, Dusek was a principal member of the team of county officials and lawyers who negotiated restructuring of contracts involving the trash burn plant operations — as well as the sale of the plant that had cost Warren and Washington County taxpayers $60 million in ongoing operational losses plus much more in its construction. Dusek was also was a key player in settling lawsuits between the two counties over the plant and a joint landfill that never became a reality. Dusek said this week he was “fortunate” to be involved in the renegotiation of the disposal contracts and sale of the trash plant that saved taxpayers tens of millions of dollars. “When I came onboard, the county was in terrible financial straits,” he said, crediting former county Board of Supervisors Chairman Fred Monroe and special bond counsel Bob Morris for their work regarding the trash burn plant. Another highlight of Dusek’s career, he said, was working on bringing the $20 million Warren County sewer project to reality — including resolving accompanying legal challenges. The sewer lines installed around Lake George since have helped reduce pollution of the lake. Dusek also conducted the legal work in the acquisition of the county railroad, as well as negotiating contracts with its two private operators.

Boosting efficiency was a team effort His most outstanding achievement is likely to be his work, with others, to turn around the county’s finances, which were in poor shape in the late 2000s. In 2010, the county had a fund balance of only $3.5 million — considered dangerously low — and was borrowing money just to make payroll. After the consolidations, cutbacks and efficiency-boosting efforts, the county now has a $15 million fund balance — even after years of historically low tax increases. Also, in Dusek’s first year as

www.suncommunitynews.com

county Administrator, the municipality had its lowest tax increase in 15 years. Dusek, however, defers credit to others for the turnaround. “We were fortunate to be able to change the culture at county government — starting with educating the county department heads on the county’s financial condition — and we gained ideas, innovation and efficiencies that made the difference,” he said. Dusek said that supervisors, employees and unions all worked together to solve the financial problems. Also, current Board of Supervisors Chairman Kevin Geraghty was key player in the initiatives of recent years to downsize government and cut costs. Among the cash-saving projects was downsizing the fleet of copiers and computer printers through centralization. The 334 copiers and printers scattered throughout the government offices were reduced to 138, yielding a first-year savings of $40,000, and a lifetime benefit of more than $100,000. Again, Dusek praised others — the county’s Purchasing and Information Technology employees for their role in the transformation. Dusek was also behind eliminating the county print shop that had for years been printing materials for county departments — and for outside organizations — at a financial loss. He was also key in closing down the county’s supply storehouse operation, which had been purchasing supplies, many of which weren’t actually put into use. Supply acquisition has now been streamlined.

Planning for Warren County’s future Also, before Dusek’s tenure, health insurance for county employees had regularly been increasing 8 to 10 percent per year. After he and others collaborated on consolidating a myriad of carriers into one and negotiating terms with unions, annual increases for the annual $10 million health insurance premiums were dramatically lowered. This year, the county’s cost for health insurance has actually decreased two percent. Dusek also worked with others to develop a multi-year program to replace aging vehicles and computers through establishing a reserve fund — and the county no longer has difficulty raising money for these purchases. He’s also responsible for advance planning for salary adjustments. Before Dusek was the county’s CEO, there were big increases in salaries for some employees in prosperous years, and pay freezes in lean years.

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

Of more significance, Dusek spearheaded a comprehensive salary study — comparing pay at the county with other municipalities as well as the private sector, to make sure compensation was fair — but not exorbitant. Automatic increases were also eliminated. The process helped the county retain valued employees, while curbing personnel expenses. Many of these initiatives led by Dusek were the result of his development of a long-range financial plan for the county — the first in the county’s history. Updated many times since it was first introduced, county officials say it has been a vital tool in assuring the county’s continuing financial health. Dusek praised Joanne McKinstry for suggesting it. It was this multi-year plan that predicted $10 million in cumulative losses at Westmount Health Facility, prompting its sale and privatization, a process which also involved Dusek. He said he was happy the nursing home’s sale was negotiated to assure that the area’s elderly — particularly Medicaid recipients — would be properly cared for, and that existing Westmount employees were protected. He also cited the re-establishment of a Human Resources Department as a key achievement, an action that established uniform standards in personnel and payroll functions across all county departments and boosted efficiency. In the past, those functions were handled by a half-dozen departments. Another achievement in centralization was Dusek’s project to codify all the county policies and laws in one volume so there would be one source available to county employees as well as the public. Three other notable accomplishments which Dusek promoted were the county’s employee safety program, wellness program and money-saving self-insurance. Dusek credited Amy Clute for the latter, which has driven down workers compensation rates. “I was pleased to be a part of making these programs happen,” Dusek said. While Dusek has been decisive in advance planning for the county’s future, he’s not yet determined what he’s going to do after he retires on March 29. “I’m still exploring my options,” he said, adding that he’s considering returning to private legal practice. “I enjoyed practicing as an attorney and I’ve missed it over the years. — I have made no definite arrangements yet.”

BLOTTER

Starved pets prompt charges in Chester CHESTER — Two women have been charged by State Police with several counts each of torturing and injuring animals and failure to provide proper sustenance, after emaciated and dead animals were found on a property they share. Jessica Morehouse, 20, of Bakers Mills, was charged with five misdemeanor counts, after police discovered three dead chickens and a live chicken and ferret in poor condition under her care. Jazmin A. Powell, 24, of Chestertown, was charged with three misdemeanor counts, after police found two adult dogs and a puppy emaciated in her care. All live animals were examined by medical professionals and retrieved from the home. A necropsy was performed on the deceased animals, though the results of that exam were inconclusive as to the cause of death. Police say the chickens were loose outside during the daytime hours and confined to a dog crate outside overnight without a heat source. The dogs were found to be in conditions where fecal matter

was not removed. Police said the women are related, and though list different legal addresses, “essentially live together.” The investigation was prompted by a report from an individual Jan. 25, concerned with the the welfare for the animals, the limited space for the number of humans and animals, as well as two children in the home. Police said the investigation is closed and no further charges are expected. Both Morehouse and Powell are to appear in Town of Chest Court Feb. 9.

Police: Horicon man held woman with firearm HORICON — A Horicon man remains in jail after holding a woman against her will and repeatedly threatening her with a firearm for 13 hours at 932 Hayesburg Road, according to police. Terrance L. Seymour, 40, was charged by Warren County Sher-

iff’s Office after the woman, whose identity was not released, escaped the home and fled to neighbor’s residence. Seymour was charged with second-degree assault, a class D felony, criminal possession of a weapon, menacing and unlawful imprisonment. According to a police report, the victim is at the live-in girlfriend of Seymour and was held against her will since 3 a.m. Friday. She was repeatedly struck and kicked, as well as threatened with a weapon throughout the duration. She was able to flee the house at approximately 4 p.m. after stating she needed to step outside for fresh air. She then ran to a neighbor on Streeter Pond Road and requested that she call 911. The victim was treated for multiple bruises and lacerations and later released from the Glens Falls Hospital. Seymour was arraigned in Horicon Town Court and remanded to the Warren County Correctional Facility in lieu of $30,000 cash, $60,000.00 bond for bail. A no-contact order of protection was issued on behalf of the victim.

Warren County French tapped for N. Warren super will receive Medicaid funds By Christina Scanlon

QUEENSBURY — While their neighbors to the north prepare for a possible battle over promised funds from a state-wide Medicaid underpayment settlement, Warren County Supervisors can rest assured they’ve crossed every “T” and dotted every “I” necessary to ensure their payments will arrive. “The County anticipates receiving approximately $339,000 from the universal settlement,” said Warren County Administrator Paul Dusek. That money comes from a pool of $850 million allotted to nursing homes across the state in exchange for surrendering their rights to pursue Medicaid rate appeals and potential lawsuits. In Essex County, a settlement of $320,000 should be returned to the county coffers, according to county officials, as the payments are for previous overpayments made prior to January 2012. Essex County sold their 100-bed nursing home to Centers Health Care, the Bronx-based company in 2014. Centers Health Care took ownership of the Westmount Health Facility Jan. 1 of this year, after purchasing the 80bed home for $2.3 million. The sale contract, however, outlined that the payments from the settlement are the property of Warren County. Queensbury at-Large Supervisor Matt Sokol, who is the committee chair overseeing previous nursing home affairs, said he believed the county filed for the settlement payments long before the sale was completed. The state did require nursing home owners to commit to the settlement by January 2015. Settlements were expected to come in four or five increments. In Warren County, one payment was received in March 2015. Information about additional or future payments was not immediately available.

CHESTERTOWN — It’s a homecoming, of sorts, for Bolton Principal Michele French, announced by the North Warren School Board Monday to be appointed as Superintendent of Schools at the next Board Meeting set for Feb. 8. “It’s bittersweet,” French said in a phone interview Monday. “I like Bolton and I’m glad I had this experience.” Since September, 2014, she’s held the position of K-12 Principal in Bolton. Prior to that, however, her career and

personal life had centered around North Warren. From 1998 to 2005, French was a teacher in the North Warren District. She followed with a variety of administrative roles until taking her position in Bolton. “I’m very excited to come back,” she said. “I live in the district and I’m a parent in the district.” French has a daughter in 10th grade. “The Board is looking forward to welcoming Michele back to North Warren,” said John Madam, Board of Education President, in a press release. “She has

great knowledge of special education, works well with staff members and has deep roots in the community.” Retired social studies teacher Bernard McCann served as interim superintendent since July, replacing Margaret “Peg” Brady, who was the school’s superintendent for 17 months. “He’s done fabulous job,” said French. “I’m happy to have time help with the transition.” McCann did not apply for the position of superintendent. Pending successful completion of a contract, French will assume the superintendent position July 1.

County E-waste program resumes By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

HORICON — The ewaste piles around Warren County look much different that they did just two months ago, when town transfer sites put a halt on collection of the waste, then piled high with no place to go. County officials in December awarded a bid to Fulton County-based Evolution Recycling Inc., in which towns across the county can now benefit and empty their stockpiles of obsolete technological debris. Services went into effect Jan. 1. The request for countywide bids to then cover townships’ e-waste removal needs came last year after

all e-waste haulers servicing Warren County towns went out of business or ended ewaste service. Small towns found it difficult to obtain service in more remote locations with little materials to be collected. “We’re starting fresh,” said Horicon Supervisor Matt Simpson, as the materials that filled the town’s transfer site in November are now gone. E-waste is once again being accepted. There will be a nominal handling fee of $4 or $5, said Simpson.

“The material has to be moved around a lot, moved and restacked,” he said of the televisions and other electronic trash while it awaits pick-up. In Johnsburg, Supervisor Ron Vanselow said they will also be charging a handling fee, but are still deciding on an amount. “We’ve utilized their services and it’s been a good experience. hey’ve been very helpful,” he said of Evolution. Michael Bowman, procurement specialist at Evolution, said they will likely be

picked up from the northern towns about once a month. “It’s been working out really well,” he said of taking a route through those smaller towns and still having room to pick up more waste as they pass through Albany County. Evolution handles a number of municipal accounts, but also participates with private e-waste drives. Those interested in organizing an e-waste collection drive can call Bowman at 736-1045.

Remembering our role

ast week while struggling to find a topic for this column my wife shared a passage she found recently in a book authored by Paul Ryan, titled “How We Got Here.” The 1992 passage is from former Secretary of Education William Bennett, titled “Culture Matters:” Individuals and families need support, their values need nourishment, in common culture, in the public arena. Our common culture is not something manufactured by the upper stratum of society in the elegant salons of Washington, New York or Cambridge. Rather, it embodies truths that most Americans can recognize and examine for themselves. These truths are passed down from generation to generation, transmitted in the family, in the classroom and in our churches and synagogues. We must always remember that our country, while flawed, was born by brave souls of common folks who sought to create a country where everyday citizens governed themselves and anyone with a dream, willing to work hard and risk all, could make that dream a reality. Today we hear how ISIS is building a nation of death, destruction and terror if you fail to accept their culture. As horrific as that sounds, we’ve also learned that they are successfully recruiting around the world and even here in America, through social media, with nothing more than an idea. It’s obvious, many seem willing to die and commit unspeakable atrocities in the name of ISIS. Are we prepared to defend and risk all for the American ideals our forefathers handed down to us? What Bennett describes in the passage above is what I believe is at the root of our failed efforts to win this current battle. America is hope and freedom where anything is possible. Sadly we no longer project that pride in our country. America and the opportunity she once stood for are fading. As the strong family structure in our nation has eroded, as the divide between middle class and the elite has widened and the poverty level has grown so dramatically, we’ve lost touch with the hard working, can-do culture we once so passionately embraced. We must rekindle the culture that gave birth to this nation. A culture that can overcome the evil that exists within our world and it starts with us, and is transmitted in our relationships and through our institutions. America, home of the free, land of the brave where opportunity, equality and justice are available for all who embrace the values we share. Dan Alexander is CEO of Sun Community News.

New York: Welcome to the state of authoritarianism

ust weeks into the new year, 2016 is already looking more like 1984. New government regulations to monitor discussions between reporters and publicists are now in place. Last week, the state’s Joint Commission on Public Ethics (JCOPE) voted 10-3 to expand the definition of lobbying to include discussions between editorial boards and public relations firms. PR teams now have to register as lobbyists. Each month, they will be required to submit reports to Albany bureaucrats. Yes, you heard that correctly: Here in New York, an entire industry now requires government permission to speak with the press. So much for the Fourth Estate. According to the policy, “a public relations consultant who contacts a reporter or editorial board in an attempt to get the media outlet to advance the client’s message would also be delivering a [lobbying] message.” The panel’s decision is a reprehensible and ignorant edict that smacks of Big Brother. It does absolutely nothing to move the needle on ethics reform in Albany, its intended purpose. Advocates say the rules will keep readers informed if newspapers have underlying motives for their opinion pieces. JCOPE says consultants use the media to influence lawmakers through editorials. That reasoning is beyond stupid. The integrity of the press withstanding, it’s not as if PR professionals need us to gain access to lawmakers. And as Dean Skelos and Sheldon Silver have taught us, politicians do not need the press to help facilitate their malfeasance. Just like the rest of Albany’s so-called ethics reforms, the decision is smoke and mirrors. Talking to editorial boards is not an ethics violation that needs to be regulated. As reporters and editors, it’s our job to meet with all elements of the populace — including, yes, groups who want to push their agenda. We do it all the time. In the past year, for instance, we’ve engaged in substantive discussions with a number of environmental, nonprofit and healthcare groups. Politicians, too, meet with us on a regular basis. All sources try to steer the narrative in one direction or another. Sometimes they have valid points, sometimes they don’t. But to insinuate we carry anyone’s water is insulting. Op-eds serve as public education. Our job is to be watchdogs for the people. We reserve the right to discuss anything with anyone whenever we damn well please without government interference. New York Press Association chief Michelle Rea called the policy “a dangerous proposition.” We agree. We’re also alarmed at the commission’s makeup.

The JCOPE panel has been stacked by the very same people whom they are supposed to be monitoring. Six of the 14 are appointed by the governor, who told the state legislature last month he supported the measure. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has a penchant for the private. Since he took office, it’s never been more difficult to get answers from state officials. Even the most pedestrian questions have be to sent through a complex maze, where each response is analyzed and sanitized before being authorized for release. State police, too, have been muzzled, while other officials have been reduced to automatons in public for fear of saying the wrong thing. Need proof? Just ask the former department of transportation official who Cuomo forced into retirement after he discussed Tropical Storm Irene recovery efforts with a local newspaper without prior authorization. The governor himself hasn’t held a press conference in Albany since June, instead choosing to skirt the reporters who cover him on a daily basis by appearing on radio programs and cable news shows. As such, we see no reason to believe any daylight exists between the governor and his six appointees. A further six JCOPE members are appointed by the speaker and senate majority leader. You might recall the two now-former occupants of those offices are convicted felons awaiting sentencing on federal corruption changes. The remaining two are appointed by each minority leader. It gets better: JCOPE Chairman Daniel Horwitz has even indicated that he doesn’t believe in free speech. In an interview with Ragan’s PR Daily last week, Horowitz called the new policies a “reasonable regulation of speech.” Say what? It’s simply Orwellian doublespeak. Numerous questions remain: Who will have access to the conversations? What role did Cuomo have in this report? Were any members of the press consulted? What happens to PR professionals who don’t comply? What’s the difference between a PR team and a nonprofit? Wouldn’t the reporters who cover these politicians on a day-to-day basis be just as influenced by lobbyists as editorial boards? Why wasn’t this done through our elected legislature instead of a handpicked Politburo? Albany is out of control. Regulations that create layers of bureaucracy to document every social media post, text message and phone call from reporters to publicists is un-American. All of this — the monitoring, red tape and deep streaks of authoritarianism — are reminiscent of Moscow, Pyongyang and Beijing. Trust us, we’ve been there.

WhyÊ doÊ weÊ hate?

To the Editor: Hate? Politics sometimes brings out the worst in us, and we are seeing that this year. As a kid growing up in Ti, I mostly had no idea what political party the men and women in my world were. I liked them or not based on how they acted. In those days, it was generally Republican capitalists with dreams that created businesses and managed the area. The local stores and public buildings were mostly built by them. The area towns were filled with (legal) immigrant families from all over the world who came to work in their mills and mines and factories and stores. Businesses brought them here. What changed? I’m not really sure, but it was not the Republicans. What we cherished in 1950 is pretty much what we hold dear today. Who do we hate? We hated Hitler, we were not real fond of Stalin and Mussolini, and we really did not like the Empire of Japan: went to war with them, sometimes you do have to go to war. We also hate slavery, then and now. That’s why the Republican party was founded. What do we love? We love our families, our neighbors and our country - you know, that Republic, under God, indivisible that doesn’t get talked about that much anymore. Since I’ve been back home in Ti, I’ve done everything I could to share my love for the Town, and the surrounding towns and area and people. I’ve worked with and for a lot of folks, and will continue to do so. That’s what Republicans, and other good folks everywhere do. We don’t just talk it, we walk it... Fred Provoncha, Ticonderoga

DonÕ tÊ judgeÊ aÊ personÊ byÊ looks,Ê butÊ byÊ workÊ ethic

To the Editor: As a concerned citizen of Essex County, finding jobs for anyone 16-25 years of is difficult because some of these people in this age range have no high school diploma or GED. You would figure most jobs around the area don’t require either of those, but they still won’t hire these people because they style themselves to define themselves. For example, they may have tattoos or piercings that the job may discriminate them for or even their sexuality. If businesses give everyone an equal opportunity at working the way they are, majority says businesses would have better working employees. So to any business: The next time you get an application from someone, test their working skills with the work you would require them to do. If they pass, give them the job. If they fail, then politely tell them sorry you didn’t get job. That’s a more respectful idea than getting application after application looking over them and not calling half of those people only because you didn’t like what you read. Ryan J Peryer Crown Point

WeÊ wantÊ ourÊ moneyÊ back!

To the Editor: The Putnam Central School District budget examination 2015M243 reported by the Office of the New York State Comptroller states on page 6, “As a result of the excessive estimates for expenditures, the District has been realizing annual operating surpluses that have caused the unrestricted fund balance to be excessive at year end and for taxes to be higher than necessary.” Underline excessive...taxes...higher than necessary. WE WANT OUR MONEY BACK! The PCSD unrestricted fund balance at year end (2015) is $1,443,571. That’s one million, four hundred and forty three thousand bucks. WE WANT OUR MONEY BACK! Apply it against the next school tax in September, based on realistic and not an artificially inflated school budget. PCSD board members should not that Section 1613 of the real property tax law says that you are only authorized to include in your tax warrant that year’s budget, less all available funds, plus four percent. Any more and you are breaking the law. You are the responsible party, not anyone else. It will be your proposed budget this coming May. To those of you who don’t agree with a thoughtfully considered, not inflated budget, reduced by the ballooning unrestricted fund balance, plus the legal four percent, write a really big check to the District, in any amount of your choice, earmarked for the unrestricted fund balance. As for the rest of us folks, WE WANT OUR MONEY BACK! For the full PCSD Report of Examination, visit ocs.state.ny.us/localgov/ audits/schools/2016/putnam.pdf. Robert E. Geh Putnam

COMMENTARY

RegardingÊ Trumpism

To the Editor: At a recent Trump rally, a young woman stood up in silent protest of Trump’s remarks. She was forcefully removed from said rally by Trump’s enforcers. I found this action appalling and also found fault with their dress code. They were not wearing their swastika armbands. Apparently criticism of the great man is not permitted. Nick O’Connor Ticonderoga

Little Bits Getting away from it all Gordie Little

Columnist

After much soul searching, I informed the Snowmobile club that permission to use the trails of my property was rescinded. I did not take this decision lightly because my interaction with the snowmobile club over the past 10 years was also cordial and respectful. Several years ago, I informed the Club that I would like help with keeping off-road vehicles off the trails. A few years passed and the Club’s response was we do not know who trespasses on the property. I let it go, but not really believing that in a community this small, the snowmobilers did not know the riders of the off-road vehicles. A month ago, I walked the property and saw the damage caused by the off-road vehicles with one major access through the Shepard property on Essex Road and another coming off of the Woodlawn Drive area. I informed the snowmobile club permission for the snowmobilers was now longer allowed. A couple members, who I have high regard for, called me asking me to reconsider and bemoaned the fact the snowmobile club is punished for the acts of others. Their disappointment should be towards their friends and neighbors who have no respect for the property of others or their friends who like to snowmobile. Do not expect me to believe the members of the club are not aware of the individuals who ride the vehicles and cause great damage to the trails on the property. The club chose not to monitor or protect the trails they wished to use and if there are any recriminations it must fall back on the club. When the members complain to others about property owners withdrawing permission, they might want to tell the whole story why the permission was withdrawn. This is an official announcement that any motorized vehicles on the above referenced property is strictly prohibited. Criminal and civil actions will be instigated against the violators. Reginald H. Bedell, Willsboro

emember when you took a vacation “to get away from it all?” It’s not easy to do nowadays. Wherever we go, we tend to remain connected in ways we could only have dreamed about fifty years ago. We’re in Kissimmee, Florida, but our cell phones are always with us. When people call our number in Morrisonville, it is automatically forwarded to our condo in the south. Imagine the shock when we’re asked if friends can come calling and we urge them to buy plane tickets. We can watch North Country TV news and listen to back-home radio stations on our phones and lap tops. We can turn on the television in our condo and overload our vacationing brains with politics Ad nauseam, and any other information. Our smart phone can do all that and more, including instant texting and audio/visual communication. We can read our hometown newspapers on the Internet. The same stores and restaurants we frequent back home, are within walking distance here as well. We can go to a theater and watch the same movies you’re watching in Plattsburgh or Au Sable Forks. So, my question is, “did we really get away from it all?” We spent a few days with relatives and friends in our spacious condo. Our granddaughter and her husband reminded us that there are still places where you can disconnect. They traveled to visit friends in the Swiss Alps last year and stayed in what was called a “hut.” They had to hike there with their three small children and to us, their description seemed like Nirvana. No cell phones, no television, no indoor plumbing, no modern conveniences, no nothing—except glorious vistas and personal experiences not to be matched anywhere. Could Kaye and I “endure” such aloneness? Absolutely. I asked and she nodded in the affirmative. We love remaining connected with our myriad friends and relatives while vacationing in Florida, but we could temporarily sever that umbilical cord in a heartbeat, if the occasion presented itself. I remember, as a small child living in Westchester County near New York City, we would take a yearly sojourn to the Mooers Camp Meeting. It took serious planning to pack our gear into the ancient car and head northward on some less than ideal roadways in the early ‘40s. There were many flat tires, empty gas tanks, children whining, “Are we there yet? I gotta pee” and all the rest. My father had the most even temper of any man I ever knew, but it must have been tested to the max in those days. If we broke down along the way, there was no cell phone to call for help. We stopped and cobbled together some kind of repair and headed up the highway. Believe me, it’s far different today and our vacation now gives us a whole new meaning to “getting away.” I admit, though, that we got away from winter as we know it in Morrisonville.

FalwellÊ notÊ aÊ trueÊ ChristianÊ leader

To the Editor: One has to wonder if Evangelical leader Jerry Falwell Jr. is really a Christian after he endorsed Trump for President. Since when did Christians start spreading hate about men, women and children of a different religion? My dictionary defines an Evangelical as someone who believes in the Bible! As a Christian, I believe in the Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ who never preached hate and who loved everyone no matter his or her religion or social status. I must say it doesn’t surprise me that Falwell would champion Trump. In point of fact, it makes perfect sense: Evangelicals have always sided with those who act as Trump does. Falwell Sr. was always a supporter of those who would do his bidding and preach hate whether it be our laws he didn’t believe in or rights given to others who were not his followers. Trump has thrown stones at everyone and closed his eyes to his own sins. Making statements such as, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue, shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters, it is incredible.” Is this the statement of a Christian, or the ravings of a madman? Those supporting Trump evidently share his values and they are not those of Christians. Christianity tells us to love our neighbor not shoot them! It tells us to take care of widows and orphans not leave them to die at the hands of oppressors. America has come a long way since our forefathers gave their lives for liberty. Trump the bully and Falwell Jr. are doing their best to put us back to the days of oppression. God save us! Gary Philip Guido Ticonderoga

EYE ON THE ARTS

Weekend Menagerie

t’s time again to look toward the weekend! There is a true menagerie of events scheduled for the next few days – one of everything, and something for everyone. Music, movies, art, and comedy: the North Country has it all coming up. Now the hard part begins: deciding which one to attend! From Feb. 6 – 27, The Strand Center for the Arts in Plattsburgh will host an exhibit of works by local acrylic painter Ian Burcroff. “My recent paintings involve a process of pictorial dissection. Each composition contains multiple visual fields that contain pictorial impressions of places and objects; metaphorically relating these to broader symbolic themes,” said Burcroff of his work. The opening reception for the Burcroff exhibit will take place on Feb. 6 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Free! Regular gallery hours are Tuesday-Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more info, call 518563-1604 or visit strandcenter.org. On Feb. 6, the Lake Placid Center for the Arts will host an evening of professional stand-up comedy with The Not Too Far From Home Comedy Tour. The program stars comedian Aaron David Ward and a handful of other comedians who work throughout the northeast and midwest. The tour is truly “not too far from home” for the performers: all the comedians either live in or have ties to the Northeast. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Tickets can be purchased by calling the LPCA Box Office at 518-523-2512 or by going to lakeplacidarts.org. Boston-based reggae-rock group Spiritual Rez will begin their two-night run at Lake Placid’s Smoke Signals on Feb. 5. With more than nine years under their belt, the outfit effortlessly “shakes the stage like a psychedelic dance earthquake” at every performance. With years of touring, the band’s sound has been fully fleshed out, creating something unique – rock music that takes a sharp left turn towards reggae. Spiritual Rez will take the stage on Feb. 5-6 at 9 p.m. Tickets are $15 per night, or $25 for both nights. Tickets can be bought in person at the bar or by calling 518-523-2271. Piano by Nature will present two shows by Metamusic at the Historic Hand House in Elizabethtown on Feb. 6 at 7 p.m. and Feb. 7 at 3 p.m. Metamusic is a Plattsburgh-based music consortium with a core area trio featuring violinist Marilyn Reynolds, saxophonist Dan Gordon and pianist Rose Chancler.

WCS wrestlers win Adirondack League crown Sectional tourney up next By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — Expected pre-season to have a runof-the-mill year due to their youth and a 0-4 record in 201415, the Warrensburg High School wrestling team blasted past expectations and won the 2015-16 Adirondack League championship for the first time in 13 years. But that’s not all. In winning this coveted distinction, they were undefeated in league meets and tallied an outstanding 24-4 regular season record. The team captured the league championship by defeating Whitehall/Fort Ann Jan. 28 by a score of 42 to 31. The last time Warrensburg won the Adirondack League was in 200203, coach Mark Trapasso said. The meet with Whitehall/Fort Ann was close, and required all the wrestlers on the team to put forth their best effort, the coach said. The Warrensburg wrestlers who won their matches pinned their opponents, and the Burgher athletes who lost their matches, fought hard and resisted getting pinned, Trapasso continued. “We gave up threes and won sixes,” he said. “It was a close match and the key is, we went the distance. It’s a very tough league.” Winning by pins were Cole Shambo in the 160-pound weight class, Chris Wilson at 170 pounds, Ben Ewald at 220

pounds, Hunter McKenna at 106 pounds and Zack Davis at 120 pounds. Dan Monthony was awarded a forfeit at 145. The Burghers’ losses were by decisions only. On their route to the Adirondack League crown, Warrensburg defeated four other schools Jan. 23 to win the championship of the Granville Dual Meet Tournament. Warrensburg beat Northern Adirondack 57 to 27, edged out Mechanicville-Stillwater 42 to 39, romped over Middlebury Vt. 57 to 19, topped Granville 45 to 28 and defeated Ausable Valley 57 to 28. The key match of the close battle between the Burghers and Mechanicville-Stillwater was Gary Hill at 285 pounds not getting pinned by a very good heavyweight opponent, Trapasso said. “Gary fought off his back once, and lost by a 9-2 decision — which secured the win by not giving up a pin,” he said. On Jan. 26, the Burghers demonstrated their athletic talent, steamrolling far-larger Glens Falls at home by a score of 63 to 20. Jan. 16, the Burghers put in a solid performance, placing 8th of 23 teams in the annual Central New York Tournament, held at Vernon-Verona-Sherrill High School. Two Burgher wrestlers were in the finals and placed second — seventh grader Hunter McKenna at 99 pounds and sophomore Jack Binder at 195 pounds, Trapasso said. “We wrestled well and it was a good finish,” Trapasso said. On Jan. 21, Warrensburg fought Lake George-Hadley Luzerne down to the wire, winning 42-36, Trapasso said. “We were lucky to get by a very good team,” he said. In the Junior Varsity Adirondack League Tournament

held Feb. 1 at Hadley-Luzerne High, Warrensburg fared well among the nine schools participating. Trevor Prosser and Mackenzie Blydenburgh won their weight classes and Donnie Carpenter and Cole Shambo both secured second place. With the regular season concluded, the Section II/Class D tournament is to be held Saturday Feb. 6 at Whitehall High School. The action starts at 9:30 a.m. Warrensburg will have all their weight classes covered with 15 athletes wrestling. Trapasso said he was inspired by his wrestlers’ skill development, determination and athleticism this year, which culminated in capturing the Adirondack League Championship. “I’m thrilled, and now we’re even hungrier as the Sectionals approach,” he said, predicting that Warrensburg, Salem, Galway, Whitehall-Fort Ann and Hadley-Lake George will be top contenders for the Class D team championship, and that he expects a number of Burghers to place or win individually. How did they win the Adirondack League Championship after it was predicted the team would endure a so-so season? Trapasso said it was due to several factors. “Our wrestlers have worked very hard, they’ve wrestled tough, and they’ve kept their grades up and protected their eligibiility so we can maintain a full lineup,” Trapasso said. Trapasso, who’s been coaching Varsity since 1995 and JV for years beforehand, said his 2015-16 team deserves a lot of credit for their accomplishments. “I’m thrilled about their achievements, and it’s been a fun, exciting year,” he said. “Now we’re going to put a team out there determined to win the Class D title.”

Burghers victorious as they cruise towards sectionals By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — The Warrensburg girls basketball team prevailed through the last two weeks of their season, showing strong teamwork as they headed into Sectionals. The string of three wins represented a strong rebound from a 51-64 loss Jan. 19 to rival Lake George. Warrensburg’s recent games also pushed All-Star Burgher player Erin Langworthy’s record-shattering career scoring tally further into the stratosphere, to 1,870 points as of Feb. 3. While many of Warrensburg’s games have been Burgher blowouts, North Warren provided a formidable challenge Feb. 2 with their strong lineup of talented athletes playing on their home court. North Warren executed a first-quarter 14-12 advantage with some hot three-point shooting, but Warrensburg tightened their defense and responded with 20 points in the second stanza — which included 3 threepointers from Langworthy — twice North Warren’s offensive production for the period. With a balanced, relentless attack, North Warren reduced a 10-point deficit to 3 in the last six minutes, but Langworthy sealed the win by going 6 for 7 at the foul line in the fourth quarter to secure the 56-50 win. Langworthy led the Burghers with 31 points and 10 rebounds. Britanny Frasier tallied 16 points, 9 rebounds and 6 steals. Megan Hughes had 5 points and 7 rebounds. North Warren had balanced offense. Ma-

daysn Bush scored 12 points, Hannah Kennney and Sarah Stewart each had 10, and Sydney Gagnon scored 8 points. Burgher coach Scott Smith said that the game was “very competitive.” With the win, Warrensburg boosted their season record to 12-3 in the Adirondack League and 13-5 overall. “Both teams played extremely hard right from the opening tip,” Smith said. “This game provided a great ‘tune up’ for the upcoming sectional tournament.” Four days earlier, Hadley-Luzerne also provided a stiff challenge to the Burghers. Determined to pull off an upset, the Eagles led 13-7 by the end of the first quarter, and was two points ahead as the halftime buzzer sounded. Warrensburg recovered their rhythm in the third quarter — they headed into the fourth period tied with the Eagles at 31 points. Warrensburg demonstrated their determination and endurance in the fourth quarter by outscoring Luzerne 25-10, however, to secure the 56-41 win on the Burghers home-court Senior Night. Langworthy, a Senior, led Warrensburg with 36 points — 26 in the second half — and 7 steals. Brittany Frasier finished with 14 points — 10 in the second half — and 7 rebounds. Senior Ryley Scott had 7 assists. Other seniors finishing with a win at home were Kerri Fino and Jessica Benoit. The total team effort included Megan Hughes and Madison Sheridan grabbing 7 rebounds each. Leading Hadley Luzerne was freshman sensation Kassidy Plummer with 17 points which included three long-distance shots. Jaynie Ellis contributed 12 points.

Burgher Coach Scott Smith said he was impressed with the Eagles’ improvement since the two teams first meetup in December. A week earlier, Warrensburg cruised past Corinth by a score of 53-24 after shaking off a slow start that left them two points behind by the end of the first quarter. Corinth utilized an effective half-court zone defense to slow down the Burghers in the first half, but Warrensburg adjusted and poured in 36 points in the second half to take the win. Ball control was also key to Warrens-

burg’s win, with the Burghers dominating the boards and forcing turnovers. Erin Langworthy scored 37 points and tallied 10 steals and seven rebounds, and Megan Hughes contributed 8 points and 13 rebounds. Madison Sheridan tallied 12 rebounds and Britanny Frasier recorded 3 assists & 6 rebounds. For Corinth, Jensen Kingsley and Francesca Francese each scored 7 points.

One Hundred Years Ago – February, 1916 Reader impute In the Jan. 23, 2016 issue of the Adirondack Journal - Sun, in this column, I told the story of Miss Elizabeth Dow, 18, of Thurman, who had died Jan. 14, 1916 of an unusual death, that of asphyxiation due to the flame going in a gas jet which lit the bedroom where she was staying in New York City. I was pleased to receive a message from Sally Kenyon Drexel who is a distant relative of Lizzie Dow and is familiar with her story. The Dow family suffered much drama, tragedy and hardship in their lives, which was so typical of living in the Adirondacks in those by-gone days at the turn of the century. The old 1916 copy of the Warrensburgh News, where I read the story, said that Lizzie was the daughter of Henry Dow, but Sally says that Lizzie’s father was actually Duncan Dow who was married to Sally’s great aunt, Lenora “Nora” Kenyon. In 1909 their 18 year old son, William Dow, was killed as a result of a sledding accident which was reported in this column. Duncan died in 1911 from typhoid fever at the age of 44 years and Nora herself died at 45 years. Her death was just 12 days after the death of her father, Harvey Kenyon. Lizzie died in 1916, two years after her mother’s demise. The Dow family history had more tragedy than even Shakespeare could conjure up. I very much enjoy hearing details of any story that appears in this column and love hearing the opinion of readers. If you have a story or a suggestion, please call and tell me about it. Thank you Sally Drexel!

Age old Lake George Mystery Deep and unsolved Whether the Rev. Eleazar Williams was the lost dauphin of France has never been decided, although reams have been written to prove and disprove this theory. Was the missionary the lost dauphin, born in Versailles, France and left in New York, when a boy, with a Lake George Indian? That the man who first addressed the Onondagas on March 31, 1816, was really Louis XVII, the lost prince, probably was

believed by the man himself and from the evidence produced he had good reason to believe it, but there are other just as good authorities to contend that William was only a very intelligent half-breed Indian. Whether the Indian missionary was the second son of the ill-fated Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette probably never will be definitely known. Louis Charles, the lost dauphin, was born in 1785. His father and mother were beheaded in 1793 and from Aug. 13, 1792 until June 8, 1795, the little prince was kept a prisoner in the tower. Many claim that the child who died in 1795 in Temple prison in Paris was not the prince, that the dauphin was carried away by royalist sympathizers and hidden in America. Stories of the treatment given him in the tower show that he had become a mental wreck because of abuse and when he was last seen at the prison he recognized no one.

Clues to the story

is chaotic confusion,” the account states. Then there is the story of the Frenchman, with the ruffled shirt and the powered hair who visited the Indian family in the woods, kissed and wept over the boy and how, soon afterward young Eleazar was sent to Massachusetts to be educated by Nathaniel Ely. Williams said that he had dream like and vague images in his mind such as seeing splendid architecture and of troops exercising in a garden and of being in a room where there were persons magnificently dressed and of lying on the carpet with his head against the silk dress of a lady.

The mystery presses on In 1841 the Prince de Joinville, representing the king of France, tried to induce Williams to sign a renouncement of his right and title to the throne, but he refused. The prince denied this story according to a Frenchman named Bellenger, a portrait painter who was known to have been one of the few who saw the prince in the tower. Bellenger died in New Orleans in 1848 and confessed on his death bed that it was actually he who brought the dauphin from France and placed him with the Indians in Lake George. Williams’ Indian mother, Mary Ann Williams (Konwatewenteta) made an affidavit stating that she adopted him.

Grateful credit is due

The tale is told of a family called De Jardin, who arrived in Albany from France in 1795, having with them a very beautiful boy and girl, the boy being known as Monsieur Louis. The couple was well supplied with money and had many articles, including gold plate, belonging to the dead king and queen. They later disappeared. The same year a French boy was left with a half-breed Iroquois chief, Thomas Williams, near Lake George. The boy seemed to be of unsound mind until one day when he fell from a rock and cut his head. Afterward he appeared normal, but had no recollections of his former existence. Williams, in later years, said he could remember nothing before seeing the Adirondack hills and forests surrounding Lake George, although there were visions of a hideous face supposed to have been Simon, the prince’s torturer, of the tower. “All else

I would like to thank my good friend, writer and historian William Preston Gates, of Bolton Landing and Queensbury, for the research for this story that came from Bill’s fine book, “Turn-of-the-century Scrapbook,” a collection of newspaper articles that were saved by Bill’s great-grandfather, Jonathan Streeter Gates. Jonathan was a past Bolton Landing postmaster and he and his wife, Zilpha Gates once ran a general store there. He died in 1921. Thanks to Bill, all of this great history has been kept alive for our present generation and hopefully for the years to come.

Notes from the North Woods Joe Hackett

Healthy Woods and Happy Hikers

n recent years, the health benefits of spending time in the outdoors have been well documented. Doctors continue to prescribe time in nature, especially for children that have been diagnosed with ADHD, or similar stress and mood disorders. However, there has been very little information regarding the type and duration of outdoor play that’s considered necessary to be effective. Numerous studies have indicated that even ‘low doses’ of outdoor time can be effective., and levels of participation and types of natural experiences can range from simply viewing natural scenes out the window; taking a walk in the park or participating in active outdoor adventures that provide participants with an opportunity for complete physical, mental and emotional immersion. Despite the studies and the research, we still don’t know how much time in the woods and natural surrounding is enough to improve our health and well being. Fortunately, a recent research study conducted by Associate Professor MaryCarol Hunter at the University of Michigan’s School of Natural Resources, may provide an answer. Professor Hunter’s study reveals the effective dose of a natural ‘outdoor pill’ for stressed out participants, would require only about ten minutes of exposure to nature, two or three times per week. I expect it would be very difficult for anyone to suffer an overdose at that pace. Study participants reported that even with such a limited

can be found in most towns and villages in the region. In fact, the village of Saranac Lake is gearing up to celebrate their fabled Winter Carnival, which was initially developed to get TB patients up and out in the fresh, cold and balsam scented Adirondack air. Over the weekend, I skied along some of the old trails that lead into the Saranac Lake Wild Forest in Ray Brook. Although the old State Hospital, which once housed TB’ers is now a correctional facility, there is still evidence of a network of trails and walking paths that once surrounded the facility. One of the main trails wanders through a nearby pine forest, and it’s in surprisingly good shape. Unlike many of the other old paths, the particular trail is wide and relatively level for a wooded path. The reason it remains in such great shape is because it’s actually an old concrete sidewalk that’s been carpeted under a deep duff of pine needles. TB’ers who traveled to the Adirondacks for the cure, eventually realized that the time spent outdoors offered not only physical benefits, but also the frame of mind that made them stronger, happier and more determined to live a long and fulfilling life. Fortunately, the current generation continues to utilize and enjoy the same wild lands, deep forests, rivers, lakes and streams that were once so crucial to ‘The Cure”. It really hasn’t changed too much, and it’s still accessible to all.

dosage of outdoor time, they experienced significantly less stress, an improved ability to focus, and increased satisfaction with their mood and energy levels. The study which was conducted throughout the seasons, seems to indicate it’s possible to chill out, regardless of the weather. Researchers didn’t actually uncover any earth shattering news as we intuitively know that outdoor time is good for both physical and mental health. Although recent research seems to back that up;, it is interesting to note that the required dosage necessary to achieve positive effects is just 10 minutes of exposure for a couple days each week. There’s not much chance of suffering an overdose at that rate. In fact, it barely provides enough time to catch a single trout! While researchers recommend that such short term, timeouts can be found in small, urban green spaces or even one’s backyard; I would prefer to spend a longer spell of time, in wilder, more remote lands. In fact, I would would be far more Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. stressed out, if my outdoor time was purposely limited to Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net. only 2½ times a week for a minimum 10 minutes, as it was for the study subjects. Researchers measured the effects of nature on mental well-being by measuring cortisol levels in the participant’s saliva. Cortisol is an indicator of stress, and Professor Hunter found that just 10 minutes in natural surroundings is enough to significantly reduce the perceived stress, as well as improve their ability to focus, stay on task and provide an increased sense of satisfaction in mood and energy levels. It’s often been said “There’s nothing new under the sun”, and I suppose the current generations’ rediscovery of the benefits of outdoor life is evidence of the fact. a long walk in the forest has always been considered the answer to “what ails ya!” The Ghost Woods provide all creatures with safe, silent sanctuary far removes from the din of I expect an example of this notion civilization.

NY coffee biz lands Super Bowl commercial Saratoga County’s Death Wish Coffee beat out 15,000 challengers to win the 30-second commercial

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ROUND LAKE — A local small business is set to gain some major national exposure during this year’s Super Bowl. Saratoga County-based Death Wish Coffee won a competition sponsored by software company Intuit, who offered small businesses around the country free advertising space during the big game. Death Wish beat out more than 15,000 small businesses. The 30-second spot is slated to run in the third quarter. The decision was made by Intuit employees and voting from the general public. Anticipation grew as the brand learned they made the Top 10, then the top 3, and eventually, after a flurry of voting by their fans — as well as celebrities like heavy metal guitarist Zakk Wylde — the top slot. “We were ecstatic and borderline in tears,” said Marketing Director Teah Teriele. While the team found out in August, they kept it under wraps until the announcement was made on Thursday. Intuit linked up with CA-based marketing agency RPA, a common Super Bowl ad creator, who came up with three concepts. RPA ran them by founder Mike Brown, who selected the Viking-themed spot — designed to illustrate the brand’s strong, highly-caffeinated brew — as his favorite. Team Death Wish predicts the slot, which is set to air on Feb. 7, will put them 10 years ahead of their projected growth trajectory. “Are we ready?” said Teriele. “We did everything we could to prepare.”

A toy company called GoldieBlox won the debut installment of the contest. Following the ad, growth mushroomed by five times that year. Death Wish Coffee, packaged in sleek black bags with skull and crossbones imagery, is available nationwide and ships globally. The brand was founded by Brown, a Saratoga Springs-based coffee house owner, in 2012 after customers began asking for

a stronger product. The brand now boasts three warehouses and are the top-selling coffee on Amazon. The team will watch the big game from Intuit’s San Francisco headquarters. “The opportunity is amazing, insane and we’re all very thankful,” Teriele said. Super Bowl 49 was watched by 114.5 million viewers, according to CBS Sports,

making it the most watched television show in U.S. history. The 30-second slots, according to Adweek, are predicted to clock in at north of $5 million.

Frontier Town buildings to be razed Some of the decaying buildings on the countyowned parcel have become a safety hazard and need to be demolished, say lawmakers By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

NORTH HUDSON — Call it the Wild North. The elements have retaken Frontier Town. Since its closure in 1998, the former wild west theme park has moldered into the natural landscape. Many of the decaying wooden buildings have become a safety hazard and need to be demolished, Ron Moore (RNorth Hudson) told the Essex County Board of Supervisors last month. The lawmaker asked for an estimate on demolition costs for the former restaurant. County Manager Dan Palmer, citing FEMA tear downs, said the county should presume the building requires hazardous waste removal, a factor that will need to be considered in removal costs. Palmer said he’d bring an estimate back to the board. Other buildings should also be examined, Moore said. Tom Scozzafava (R-Moriah) said the buildings have become a “huge” liability for the county. “The county owns them and we’re responsible,” Scozzafava said. “They need to come down before something bad happens.” The board’s ways and means subcommittee unanimously approved the measure. Essex County Vice Chair Randy Preston (I-Wilmington) said the county needs to come up with an action plan for the sprawling parcel. “That should be sooner not later, in my opinion,” Preston said. Essex County owns much of the former park, which is located right off the Northway. Last August, the state supreme court determined the county did not act improperly when it denied a bid at a tax auction in 2014 for the acreage by a late businessman, George Moore. Ron Moore, no relation to George, said he hoped any fu-

Several buildings on the Frontier Town property have become a liability and need to be removed, said North Hudson Supervisor Ron Moore.

ture usage of the property would benefit the proposed 40-mile multi-use trail system between Minerva, Newcomb, Indian Lake, Long Lake and North Hudson. “I’d like to see it developed in a way that creates jobs for the town,” Moore said. The George Moore estate owns the A-Frame building that anchors the property. That land, said the North Hudson supervisor, is critical to connecting the existing town trail to the proposed network, including an access point on Blue Ridge Road. It will ideally provide a parking area for snowmobilers, said Moore, who will be permitted to utilize the trail alongside other partici-

pants. The trail, which is expected to be completed by 2022, will see portions open to the public as early as next year, said the DEC, with new segments becoming available for public recreation every year until the completion date. Scozzafava said the county should put it back on the market after negotiating easements with the Moore estate. The location may be attractive for a retail outlet, said the lawmaker. “I think there would be interest if we marketed it properly,” Scozzafava said.

Whitehall comes alive for annual Winter Fest event WHITEHALL — The Arts and Recreation Commission of Whitehall will hold The Whitehall Winter Fest Saturday, Feb. 13, in both the village and town. The opening ceremony will start at 10 a.m. with words from Mayor Ken Bartholomew and Supervisor George Armstrong. Rev. James Peterson from the First Baptist Church, Whitehall will do the opening prayer. The Penguin Dip will then be held with participants going into the icy waters of Lake Champlain dressed in outlandish costumes. Spectators are always encouraged and welcomed to attend the event. Anyone can take the dip. As part of the dip, the Whitehall High School teachers are holding a competition while raising funds. Prior to the dip, each will have their own donation bottle that students and faculty will contribute to. The funds collected will be donated to the Back Pack Program. The teachers raising the most funds will have to go into the water during the Penguin Dip. After the Penguin Dip the event moves uptown to the Skenesborough Harbor Park, the Skenesborough Museum, The Whitehall Municipal Center and the American Legion Post 83. The Skenesborough Museum will be open from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. At the Whitehall Municipal Center, Whitehall’s Ecumenical Council will have a Bible study and crafts for children from11 a.m. to 3 p.m. At the Skenesborough Harbor Park Pavilion, The Friends of the IBA (Important Bird Area) will have a new exhibit. In

addition, the Whitehall High School’s Horizon Club will have members dressed up like characters from the movie Frozen on hand to do face painting. Children can also put their head in an Olaf photo stand and then have their photo taken to look like the character. Baked goods will be available for sale. Another popular part of the fest is the Whitehall High School Art Exhibition that will be held at the pavilion in Skenesborough Park from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Whitehall High School’s Peer Helpers will be at the fire pit in the park serving hot dogs as they run the Best Snowman Contest. Participants will register at the fire pit and will have from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. to make a snowman. There will be cash prizes. In addition, people can get a ride on Jeremy Younger’s horse drawn wagon going up Main Street to Clinton Street. At the American Legion Post 83 Paul Bartholomew will give a presentation on Sasquatch at 11 a.m. There have been many sightings in Whitehall of this legendary creature. His books will be available. At the Whitehall United Methodist Church on Greenmount Cemetery Lane there will be sledding and refreshments in the church from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. The New Whitehall Marina, Tavern at Lock 12 will hold a buffet dinner for $17.75 in honor of the historic significance of that year in Whitehall. Everyone is invited to attend. For more information call Marge Mohn at 499-2435.
