‘Wing Off’ benefit planned Proceeds to help youth mission

25th Bands ‘n Beans set for next weekend

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE — Organizers call Bands ‘n Beans “the biggest party of the year in the North Country,” noting it’s “a sign of winter’s end and the beginning of spring.”

This year, as luck would have it, the event falls on the first day of spring: Sunday, March 20.

For Giovanna’s on the Lake, the bash marks the true beginning of the season, as the restaurant is still closed for winter.

Last year, staff earned the Hootin’ n Tootin’ Awesome Chili Award. They aim to repeat the feat this year. Staff wouldn’t reveal any secrets, or whether they’d even be eyeing that particular award or a new one.

More than 30 restaurants have registered to compete in this year’s contest. Registered participants include Barking Spider, Barnsider, Bean’s Country Store, Caffe Vero, Caldwell House, Center Plate at Gore Mountain, Dizzy Chicken, Docksider, Dunhams Bay Lodge, East Cove, Frederick’s, Full Moon Bar and Grill, The Garrison, The Georgian, Grateful Den, King Neptune’s, Lizzie Keays, Longhorn Restaurant and Pub, Northway Diner, O’Toole’s Restaurant, The Tavern, UpRiver Cafe and Vic’s Tavern. Each attendee is able to vote for their favorite chili in both the restaurant and individual categories.

Along with chili from the restaurants, Rock Hill Bakehouse will serve their award-winning breads, and Ben & Jerry’s will sell ice cream with all their proceeds donated to the Lake George Arts Project. The food, however, is just a part of the fun.

There’s nearly a dozen musical acts as part of the entertainment line up, including Rich Ortiz, George Fletcher’s Foldin’ Money, Stony Creek Band, Big Fez and the Surfmatics, Dirt Cheap, Chris Ballini, Tim Wechgelaer and Chris Carey, PJ Ferguson and Cowboy Ernie Sites.

The fun gets started Sunday, March 20, at 2 p.m. and goes until 7 p.m. at Roaring Brook Ranch, 2206 State Route 9N. Tickets are $20 at the door. For more information, contact the Lake George Arts Project at 668-2616.

Survey: Thurman’s buildings need upgrades

ATHOL —Thurman town officials will be seeking public opinion about how to house their various governmental operations — after hearing March 8 that several of their town buildings are in serious disrepair.

A visual inspection conducted recently under the auspices of Cedarwood Engineering prompted the firm’s conclusion that the town highway garage is in poor condition and that the adjacent Harris House, eyed for a potential home for the

The town hall, however — which was recently equipped with new exterior doors —is deemed to be in good shape.

Cedarwood’s report, distributed to town board members Tuesday, cited that the Harris House, built in 1890 and used by the town in prior decades for various functions, “has reached the end of its useful life.”

Lake George’s Sham-Rock the Block fest and parade set for March 19-20 thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE — The popular annual festival in the village that celebrates Irish heritage has been modified this year to accommodate Mother Nature’s volatility.

Sham-Rock the Block, to be held Saturday March 19 and Sunday March 20, features Irish food, beverages and music.

The event is primarily situated on Lower Amherst St. in Lake George.

The festival’s live music and beverage service will be occurring indoors this year at Duffy’s Tavern rather than under a large tent in their adjacent parking lot, festival organizer Lin-

da Duffy said this week.

“With the uncertainty of the weather, we decided to move much of the festival inside this year,” she said, noting that although this winter has been unseasonably warm, temperatures could plunge as the weather has been highly unpredictable.

In past years, cold, stiff winds have prompted partyers and band members to wear parkas and gloves — but despite the frigid temperatures, hundreds of people have attended regardless.

The traditional family-oriented activities accompanying Sham-Rock the Block, like the pony rides, bounce houses, wagon rides will remain outside, Duffy added. As in years past, children will be searching for gold coins hidden by local leprechauns in the yard of the old County Courthouse and Shepard’s Park. Stewart’s Shops has donated coupons that will be handed out to children and can be redeemed for free ice cream.

Sham-Rock the Block features the ever-popular keg-tossing contest, to be held Saturday at about 4 p.m.

A new game to be held is “human foosball” — popular during the recent local winter carnival — in which team members — who can only move a prescribed distance — kick a soccer ball toward a small goal.

Duffy’s Tavern will be hosting Irish themed music and dancing beginning at noon Saturday March 20 and continuing into the night. Saturday’s entertainment features the band Triskele, Singer/guitarist John Eisenhardt, the Wild Irish Acres Step dancers, and the rock group Master Cylinders rock group. Duffy said that Saturday would feature a “memorial mass shot” for Bill Padowitz, the renowned singer-songwriter and storyteller from Glens Falls who died in November at the age of 62. Sunday, the entertainment at Duffy’s features John Eisenhardt.. Karaoke is featured Friday night at the tavern.

Although the annual “pub crawl” has been scuttled for this year’s Sham-Rock the Block, it’s replaced by an “adult scavenger hunt” that will retain the spirit of past years, but with a new fun twist added, Duffy said. Participants will be searching for items available at area taverns and other businesses in the village, she said.

Sunday March 20 features a St. Patrick’s Day parade, beginning at 1 p.m. With dozens of units, the procession includes bands, floats and other attractions. The parade is to proceed southwest on Beach Road then northwest on Canada St. to Amherst Street. Gary Powers is to serve as the parade’s grand marshal.

Corned beef and cabbage, Reuben sandwiches, Irish stew

and Irish sausage, as well as drink specials, will all be available at Duffy’s tavern from March 17 through March 20.

The festival is sponsored by both the town and village governments of Lake George, as well as beverage distributors in the region.

The Thurman 2016 town events brochure is being put together now.

Local event organizers and club officers are asked to supply information about their special public activities and possibly meeting dates, for the year. If anyone is hosting an event that is open to the public, for free or for fee, contact Perky Granger with a brief description, the date, times, cost, and contact information for the public to use for questions. Additionally, it is hoped that all Thurman clubs will submit a small description of what they do, when they regularly meet and whom to contact (and phone, email) for more information. Pictures and information may be emailed to PersisGranger@aol.com or call 352-463-3089. The designer would like the whole community represented in this publication. The deadline for to submit information and photographs is Tuesday, March 22.

‘Wing Off’ this Sunday funds youth mission trip

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — Focused on helping others in need, nine teenagers belonging to a local church’s youth group are looking forward to embarking on a mission trip to New Jersey this summer to help people upgrade their homes.

This youth group is holding a “Wing-Off ” event Sunday March 13 at George Henry’s Restaurant on Lower Main St. in Warrensburg.

To be held from noon to 7 p.m., the event features all-youcan-eat chicken wings for $13 per person. The event includes a raffle for various goods and services.

The members of the group at St. Cecilia’s Catholic Church gathered this week to talk about their plans as well as their experiences on prior trips.

The teenagers will be put to work in North Arlington NJ, a suburb of Newark. There, they will be either fixing up or painting homes, cleaning up yards, helping out at a food pantry, or accomplishing work at several human-service agencies. This latter work is likely to include caregiving and maintenance work at community homes, a halfway house for youth, or a day-care facility.

The mission is a one-week session sponsored by the Catholic Heart Workcamp organization.

Participating in the trip are Warrensburg High School sophomores Matt Gerrain, James Cunniff, Jacob Johnson, Kelly Angell; WCS juniors Jarod West, and Jayden Cain, senior Melenie Warner, and WCS alumnus Julie Angell, now a freshman at SUNY Canton.

Jacob Johnson said he enjoyed his work on last year’s mission, painting two porches and fixing up a sidewalk in front of a person’s home.

“It was different, but it was really fun to help others out,” he said, noting this was his second mission trip.

Matt Gerrain, who’s been on two prior trips, agreed.

“I enjoy seeing how happy people are after you’ve done the work for them.” he said.

Kelly Angell, who’s been on three other missions, said she has found the experiences rewarding.

“I really enjoy how happy people are when we show up and ‘hang out’ with them,” she said, noting that on the 2015 trip, she provided day care for youth at a special needs agency’s summer program.

Jayden Cain, a veteran of four missions, said she enjoys

sharing the experience with the teenagers from other churches around the state and nation.

“We share a special bond because we’re all there for the same reason — reaching out to others,” she said.

Melanie Warner offered a similar thought.

“It’s really fun to exchange experiences with the kids meet we meet on the missions — all of us there to practice our faith as well as helping others,” she said.

Jarod West also noted the camaraderie.

“The experiences are great- you make so many emotional connections with others that you wouldn’t have made anywhere else but on a mission like this,” he said.

In a prior year, West helped in a community home, and said he was impressed about how grateful residents were about the teenagers’ involvement.

“They were so happy they met people that cared a lot about them,” he said.

James Cunniff, who’s been on three prior missions, said the shared sense of purpose was inspiring.

“Its a great atmosphere to be in, because everyone wants to be there,” he said.

St. Cecilia Youth Minister Gail DeMarsh, a chaperone on recent years’ missions, said she has enjoyed witnessing the personal growth the rookie mission workers go through.

“Some kids are apprehensive beforehand, but by the end of their first night, they’re making new friends,” she said. “...And they come back from their mission excited about their work and what they have experienced.”

Chaperone Brian Angell said the teens’ mission experience has lasting positive influence on their future.

“I enjoy being a part of this mission,” he said. “Seeing how it can motivate kids and change their lives is inspiring to me.”

Sheriffs warn about scanners Annual ‘Jack

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — While people now have more ways than ever to communicate, it also leads to more ways than ever to be conned.

Telephone and internet scams are nothing new, but their popularity as a way to swindle unsuspecting folks into giving away important information or sending money to a bogus cause has increased, according to Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting, who said residents are being “bombarded” with these types of scams.

“Each and every day, Essex County residents are being targeted with a wide variety of scams intended to swindle money from honest, hard working people,” said Sheriff Richard Cutting. “Never give personal information out over the phone or internet, and by all means don’t fall victim to these scams.”

“We are constantly getting people calling us about scams and we tell them to ignore the calls and internet. It is a world wide problem not just here,” Warren County Sheriff Bu York said.

“My advise is as soon as the phone call comes in, hang up! When the invite comes in on the internet, if they absolutely don’t know the sender, to delete immediately. Never open emails they don’t know!”

“Folks continue to fall victim to several of the same scam jobs that have been reported ad naseum over the past few years,” added Steven Stockdale of the Warren County Sheriff ’s Department, saying the department averages several scam call per month.

“Specifically the IRS scam where someone tells a victim that they are delinquent on tax payments, the lottery scam where our victim is told they’ve won a sweepstakes, and the Police scam where our victims are told Community a loved one has been incarEducation Forum that cerated in a foreign country and LAKE GEORGE — requires bail be posted to secure The Lake George Central their release,” he said. “Most unSchool District will host fortunately, our victims tend to a Community Educa- be older folks with a lot less intion Forum on Addiction come and they seem to be very Wednesday, March 16 in unlikely to call the police and the Lake George Jr.-Sr. ask for guidance or information High School library, from - they’re being targeted for that 7 to 8:15 p.m. fact, and because they tend to be Parents, students, and very trusting.” community members are Cutting mentioned several encouraged to attend the forms of scams in an email to forum, sponsored by Lake George High School’s Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) in conjunction with the Council for Prevention. The forum will be presented again for students Thursday, March 17, as a morning assembly at school. The forum, featuring a panel of experts and individuals with reallife experience, includes Warren County District Attorney Kate Hogan, Director of the Center for Recovery Susan Roberts, two individuals in recovery, and Karine ScroggyMontanye, a parent who lost her son to addiction.

Topics to be covered include: alcohol, marijuana, and prescription drug abuse and dependence, pathways to addiction, and prevention and treatment options. The panel will discuss how addiction impacts everyone, and provide ways to create awareness and keep the community safe.

For more information contact Elizabeth Wright, Public Information Specialist, 744-1940 or email ewright@wswheboces. org.

Event canceled NEWCOMB — This year’s Chili Chow Down and Snowshoe, planned for Friday, March 18, is yet another local event canceled due to lack of snow. The event will not be rescheduled. Staff at the ADK Interpretive Center announce a full calendar of upcoming events which can be found at esf.edu/ aic.

media outlets recently: • IRS scam: The recipient of the call is told they will be arrested if they don’t pay overdue taxes; • Family in need/danger: Scams where a family member has been arrested, injured or robbed and needs money right away; • Bills: Overdue utility bills that must be paid or your service will be disconnected; • Phony camps: People purporting to be collecting for underprivileged kids to go to a camp – usually the spoken name is something like: “New York State (pause) Police” — the pause between State and Police is hardly noticeable, but they are usually not who they portray; • Inheritance or lottery: Schemes where you need to pay a fee to collect or you will be mailed a check for a large amount of money, you simply deposit the check and then send a fee for processing. By the time you get notice from the bank that the check you deposited is no good, your money is gone.

“The large majority of legitimate charities or agencies will not try to solicit you by phone,” Cutting said. “They will send you correspondence to validate their claims. If you are in doubt, ask them to mail you the information so you have time to think. Their purpose is to prey on you immediately and get you to make a hasty decision.”

We encourage people to pay attention to what they are being told by the caller,” said Stockdale. “Never give your credit card or social security information to anyone. No legitimate organization will demand that a person purchase gift card or Green Dot cards and call them back to retrieve the information, and no sweepstakes company will require a contest winner to pay any money up front to receive their winnings. Also, police agencies do not seek bail on an arrestees behalf - if the person calling states they are a police officer and they have a loved one in custody, ask for a return phone number and call another family member to determine if the loved one really did get arrested.

No police agency will accept a persons credit over the phone to release someone from custody.”

Cutting said those worried about telephone scams are encouraged to sign up to the Do Not Call registry by going to the website donotcall.gov. He added, however, it will not end all calls from solicitors.

“Companies who you do business with are still eligible to call you as a customer as well as people who are not selling services or products,” Cutting said. “If you still get calls, go to that website and register a complaint. They can also file a complaint with the FTC at ftccomplaintassistant.gov or by calling (877) 382-4357.”

Wax’ party set

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

ATHOL — The beloved Thurman Jack Wax party, which for generations has heralded the arrival of spring while raising money for charity, is coming soon.

Local folks and people from afar will be gathering for this ever-popular hometown get-together — set for Saturday March 19 — that features a delicious all-you-can eat buffet.

Plans call for a wide variety of dishes, including entrees of ham, Oscar’s Smokehouse roast beef and turkey. One outstanding offering slated for the event is macaroni and cheese by the renowned Nettle Meadow Farm. Of course, topping off the meal will be the dessert of genuine Jack Wax — maple syrup ladled out over snow or ice shavings.

Hoddy Ovitt & The Warren County Ramblers will be providing traditional mountain music from 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.

This will be 57th year the event has taken place and all the proceeds go to the American Cancer Society. A representative of the American Cancer Society is likely to be attending the party to recognize the Jack Wax party’s longevity.

For details or to volunteer for cleanup chores, contact event organizer Kathy Templeton at 623-2967 or via email at: feidenk33@yahoo.com.

OPINION

Strength in unity

o you think we’ll ever get our house in order?

The anger that so many of our fellow countryman feel today has grown out of the dissatisfaction and frustration of seeing the nation’s political parties so vehemently disjointed.

We are now witnessing the same behavior within the Republican party as those in the established inner circle attempt to derail candidates they find unsuitable.

And while the Republicans are in full destruct mode, the Democrats are becoming equally divided in what was expected to be an easy path to the nomination for Hillary Clinton.

Senator Sanders’ surprisingly successful socialist campaign, is “bernin’” the party while the DOJ continues their ever expanding investigation into Clinton’s past discretions with classified documents.

We’ve seen how this two party polarization can stifle political and economic growth in the country.

Just imagine the effect it will have when the same culture tears at the fabric inside the two established parties.

Infighting of this magnitude only serves to leave the country in an impotent state with nothing getting accomplished except further debt, dysfunction, anger and despair.

Our nation has always been able to rise above the petty disagreements and come together to accomplish great things, but in this environment there is no clear overwhelming choice that any majority can agree upon or support.

What no one seems willing to accept is we all lose when any of us lose. Respect and compromise is the only path to healing.

President Lincoln saw this clearly after the civil war despite it being an unpopular position at the time. He understood the nation needed to heal after the bitter fighting and the only solution was to forgive and unite under a common cause. Sadly his life was taken before he could enact his plans. Yet he stands today as one of our nation’s greatest presidents.

We must recognize and respect this great melting pot of ideas and people we call home and find solutions that respect the will of all her people, not just those lucky enough to be in power at the moment.

Our strength is only evident when it is focused on the common good and right now it’s anything but.

Taking in refugees will be good for the Adirondack Park

T

he world can be a dark place. Unless you’ve been living under a rock — which is actually a legitimate lifestyle here in the Adirondack Park — you’ve likely caught a whiff of the uncertainty that continues to grip the nation.

An autocratic renegade real estate developer is poisoning the well of reasonable discourse with his brand of pugnacious faux-populism.

The situation across the political aisle is equally odorous, with voters forced to choose between a socialist who wants to remake our political system and a craven opportunist who is allergic to the truth.

Flint, Michigan is embroiled in a deadly water crisis stemming from profound government malfeasance. Zika, a new mosquito-borne virus, is threatening to become the new ebola, while storm clouds continue to gather over the global economy.

It’s times like this when we could all use some good news.

That’s why we’re so heartened by the efforts of a local group of civic leaders to turn on the light.

This winter, a collective of religious institutions, nonprofits and other citizens assembled to discuss a burning question: How can we open ourselves up to refugees in a hostile political environment?

The group, now known as the North Country Refugee Collaboration Project, met at the Keene Valley Congregational Church on a late-January evening — Martin Luther King, Jr. Day — and emerged three hours later brimming with ideas: “It is clear that we see a need and want to respond right now,” said a memo issued after the meeting. “We want to capture that energy and commitment, and continue to see it grow and expand to other groups (secular, governmental and faith-based) in our area.”

The report mapped out a blueprint for moving forward, designating goals, timelines and point people for each task.

This is wonderful news for many reasons, namely because this group is acting as our collective moral compass.

We live under a growing shadow of ugliness.

One of the key goals of the Islamic State is for the United States to alienate, marginalize and denigrate Muslim populations. This, they hope, will aid in their recruitment efforts.

We saw this in the aftermath of the Paris and San Bernardino attacks, where our politicians — including several of our state and federal representatives — tripped over themselves to put the brakes on federal immigration programs.

Spiked with inflammatory and fearful language, this was partisan hackery at its worst.

Refugees, especially those from war-torn regions like Syria, are already the most severely scrutinized group to enter the country.

Terrorist attacks on American soil, for the most part, have been carried out not by refugees, by naturalized citizens or those carrying student visas.

(And that’s to say nothing of the toxicity being spewed by Donald Trump — “Who’s going to pay for the wall? They are!” — when it comes to our amigos to the south.)

While last fall’s attacks by Islamic militants have largely faded into the

rearview, America continues to be at a crossroads.

An estimated 4 million Syrians are trying to leave the country.

Of those, only an infinitesimal number will eventually make it to American soil. This year, President Obama has recommended accepting 85,000 (and 100,000 in 2017). While the number has already proven to be fodder for critics, it’s a drop in the bucket when compared to the 4.2 million immigrants who are already in the country.

We hope some of these Syrians will find their way here.

Taking in refugees is good for America — and in particular, the Adirondack Park — for a few simple common sense reasons.

The first is jobs. One of the most chief complaints we hear from the North Country business community is the lack of a dependable workforce. From small businesses to large employers to the region’s leading nonprofits, the refrain is simple: It’s tough to fill low-paying slots with good, reliable help.

For many, the choice is simple: Why work when you can collect benefits?

Immigrants don’t share that mindset.

Schools. Combatting the demographic decline remains one of the region’s most vexing problems. When it comes to the public school landscape, we’re in a new era of permanent austerity where discussion is punctuated by buzzwords like mergers, shared services and consolidation — not growth, prosperity and expansion. Old timers fondly talk of a working family in each house. We can have that again.

Diversity. At 96 percent white, we’re a homogenous bunch that does not resemble the shifting demographics of the country (the remaining four percent are prison inmates). This really puts us at a disadvantage, especially our kids, who aren’t exposed to the benefits of a multicultural tapestry, from learning new traditions, enjoying culinary experiences or simply expanding their intellectual universe.

We’re not naive.

The international press is rife with reports of refugees who have refused to assimilate in communities that are also ill-equipped to handle the influx, be it through nativist attitudes, a lack of housing and educational infrastructure or whatever else.

But unlike the European Union, we’re a single country that has the immigrant experience etched into our national consciousness. We did, and continue to, rely on newcomers to maintain a vibrant economy and colorful cultural landscape.

The North Country Refugee Collaboration Project is clearly in its embryonic stages. They face a long road ahead. But it pales in comparison to the horrors from which Syrians are fleeing: Rape. Torture. Murder.

This group is doing a good thing, offering a flicker of hope in this era of domestic and international uncertainty.

We support their mission.

COMMENTARY

BeautifulÊ work,Ê EssexÊ CountyÊ DPW! TimberÊ crimeÊ isÊ realÊ &Ê needsÊ toÊ stop!

To the Editor: I would like to express my gratitude to the Essex County DPW and any coordinating agencies who worked to improve the sitelines and shoulder visibility on Lake Shore Road in Essex and Westport.

There are many people who bike, walk and jog (not to mention drive) on the stretch of road just south of the hamlet and the work these crews did helps to make this beautiful stretch of roadway along the shoreline much safer.

I always hate to see trees cut down, but these crews did so in a very responsible and aesthetically pleasing way. Thanks for maintaining this stretch of roadway and for keeping those who use it safe.

ThankÊ youÊ AmericanÊ LegionÊ forÊ yourÊ work

To the Editor: My deepest thanks to Danny Kaifetz and the American Legion 1619, who organized and sponsored the Hepatitis C testing for veterans of the North Country this past weekend in Morrisonville. There was an amazing turn out of veterans for this free testing. This testing is very new, with a recent awareness of exposure of Hepatitis C for those who served from 1964-1991, possibly exposed through the use of air-driven inoculation guns. American Legion Post 1619 just raised the bar for the entire country. The total for 36 hours was 401 veterans tested and 97 percent were Vietnam era, 1964-1975.

American service men and women who served in Vietnam experienced, many for the first time in 45 years, the knowledge that someone cared about them, someone had their backs, and someone was there to make sure they would never be neglected again. The 11 nurses and medical team from CVPH who volunteered were amazed at the gratitude the veterans showed.

As Army veterans ourselves, my husband and I were honored to be a part of this testing.

Kathy Derrick US Army 1985-2005 Peru

MiraclesÊ doÊ happen To the Editor: A miracle happened in Morrisonville, New York on Feb. 26 and 27 in this tiny hamlet of 1,575 residents. Fountain Brothers American Legion Post #1619: Rand Hill Road, led by Danny Kaifetz, began a process which may well be the first of its kind in the state — remembering the forgotten veterans of the Vietnam era.

Post 1619 funded and began testing these veterans for Hep-C, a disease which they received without their knowledge because the military used a device that transferred blood from one person to another during innoculations, a disease that can lay dormant for 30 to 40 years before it rears its ugly head.

Many veterans did not know about this until Post 1619 began this drive to notify as many veterans as possible, receiving help and cooperation from many community organizations and media outlets which proved to be invaluable.

This journey started back in December 2015 as Post 1619 held their first meeting to organize the process of getting these veterans tested. It was not an easy task, there were many hurdles to overcome, but the committee was diligent and overcame them. You will read more about this in other letters, praising the many, many unselfish, unsung heroes who participated in the process. God bless them.

It is my fervent hope that the work started by Post 1619 to save our veterans will be carried on by other organizations. Our veterans deserve nothing but the best.

MinimumÊ wageÊ editorialÊ off Ê theÊ mark Dear Editor: Hello people and the reason why I am replying to this editorial called “$15 minimum wage not the answer to remedying new yorks income inequality “ because people this editorial and the groups that have come out with bad info is 100 percent wrong. Readers also this paper never interviewed any people that have worked or is still working in this industry so this article is 100 percent biased and wrong as well.

Readers the reason why this industry is hurting right now that is for many years small business restaurant owners have underpaid their staffs for years , while they made their money off the backs of their workers people and now they are screaming poverty because this governor wants people to get paid on equal footing. Readers as someone who is a 20 year veteran in the hospitality field I have seen a 100 percent degrade in the quality of worker because of what restaurant owners have done today and so it is time that boss’s start investing in the staffs that they have and they will get there investment back in the long haul. People in closing what we go through on a daily basis while working in a kitchen is a living hell and we deserve to be paid $17 dollars per hour people and it is a disgrace that hard working people get the shaft by New York State for not having a pay rate that can get people out of poverty so they can get better paying jobs.

To the Editor: I am writing this letter to inform the public that there are people and corporations out there trespassing on your land and stealing the timber and trees for their own profit. Timber theft is one of the largest types of theft on this planet.

This information is a first-hand account that happened to me.

I am a forest land owner in the Champlain Valley area of the Adirondacks that has worked an honest job and saved my money to buy a large piece of timber land so that I have a place to enjoy my constitutional rights and liberties peacefully.

I have a small sawmill and woodworking tools that afford me to build so many things whenever I want for whatever I or others might need. The use of my trees and timber are very dear and priceless to me and I protect the forest that I pay taxes on for the future of my family, friends and wildlife in a time when these great mountains are being stripped of their timber resources.

Almost nine years ago, Lyme Timber Company, which is a bordering land owner, and Upland Forestry, which works with and for them, trespassed on my property and clear cut almost four acres of my trees.

They painted a new border line into my forest and then cut the existing line that was there to hide any evidence. The line they painted went into the forest and just stopped without connecting to any other border anywhere. I was there on site just after the logging began. They started by telling me that it wasn’t my land even thought I had a surveyed deed in hand. It took me almost two years to have my land resurveyed, have a timber cruise performed and find an attorney to help me.

In that time, I found three other victims that the same companies did this to at that recent time. This not being enough, they then tried to say that this area of land wasn’t mine to the point of fighting me in court for almost three years on whether it really was my land or not and all this time their evidence was a handdrawn map from 1963 done on a scratch paper with a pencil.

So many years have gone by since I started this fight and I have been surprised endlessly on how many road blocks can be throne into take up time in hopes that the victim of this crime will give up and go away. I have been winning these battles I have been faced with because I will not give into these criminals.

Please, if someone has trespassed on your property and taken your trees, it is worth it to report these people and stop this crime. You have a lot of rights, call a Forest Ranger and an attorney within three years of it happening. I wish the best of luck to any victim of this crime.

AddressingÊ theÊ addictionÊ epidemic To the Editor: While the addition of drug and alcohol detoxification facilities in the University of Vermont Health Care Network is a big step in addressing severe addiction disorders medically, another step and perhaps of equal importance in addressing the addiction epidemic would be to explore an answer to the following question: Who in state licensed agencies, that provide face to face [individual and group] counseling for people with an addiction disorder are performing tasks, covered by professional licenses?

A brief and partial answer to this question: In 2012, the New York State Education Department Office of Professions began to explore the answer to this question by asking several New York State, NYS, Departments that is, NYS Office of Mental Health, NYS Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services, NYS Department of Corrections and Community Services and the NYS Department of Family and Children Services, to conduct a survey of their nonprofit providers and the tasks their employees perform. The survey results began the process of identifying by title those individuals performing tasks covered by licenses such as diagnosis, psychotherapy (talk therapy) and treatment planning.

While state licensed facilities may meet the regulatory requirements of “treatment”, a closer look by the consumer may shed some light on who actually provides face to face “treatment” for those with an addiction disorder to include those with co-occurring disorders, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, PTSD etc. While the old Minnesota Model [1950] of addiction treatment stresses personal recovery and AA attendance, newer models of “treatment” have been identified and are readily available from professionals who obtain licensure in their respective fields of study, by completing an academic program, practicum and internship.

I

’m on a roll. Up or down?

Inside or outside? Those are the questions for today.

Trivia, you say? Not so trivial for many. I’m referring to the toilet paper. I was somewhat amazed to learn that people are often adamant about those kinds of choices. It came up on my social media pages and, before that day was finished, there were hundreds of responses.

Like everything else in my life, I was in the minority. Kaye taught me long ago to place the toilet tissue in such a way that it unrolls from the inside. That’s the way you’ll find it next to all our commodes. Except for last week. She went in to use the facility and found it installed the opposite way. Of course I was accused. I would usually accept full responsibility, but not this time. I refused to be the culprit.

Obviously, a guest had done it.

Should we call the gendarmes?

Should we place them up for public ridicule? Nope. We just changed the roll around. It was of no real consequence to me.

It’s one of those things I notice in public restrooms and private homes. However, I would never deign to argue that one way is right and the other, wrong. And, I would likewise not change the roll around anyplace except for here at our home.

Kaye and I chuckled at the myriad responses on the social site. Of course, I contributed my nickel’s worth and people scoffed.

One close friend said (tongue in cheek, I hope) that she could never visit us here unless we agreed to flip the roll for the duration of her stay.

How long has this controversy raged? Is there a legitimate reason for doing it one way or the other? I’ve conducted my informal Gordie Little surveys for far less vital quests. Yes, I actually did some research on this one. I’ve spoken with psychologists and sociologists and read their august treatises. I have learned that the over and under thing is discussed as an integral part of class work for undergraduates in more than one institution. Tens of thousands of words have been written on the subject ever since Thomas Crapper first did his business (so to speak).

Remember Ann Landers? She broached the subject during her heyday and reportedly got over 15,000 responses--most ever for anything in her columns. From everything I’ve read and seen, the majority of you prefer “over” by up to 70-percent. Some couples have argued so long and hard that they have installed “his” and “hers” dispensers side by side.

One guy even invented a special roll holder you can swivel to satisfy your personal preference.

If you think this column is a bit over the top, chalk it up to my version of levity and please don’t let your marriage suffer because of it.

EYE ON THE ARTS

“Don’t you ever get the feeling that all your life is going by and you’re not taking advantage of it?”

Ernest Hemingway posed this question in 1926 and it is still relevant today. We only live once. We know this. Despite this pervasive knowledge, it’s still easy to get distracted from this simple fact of life. We get distracted by work and personal finances. We obsess over obligation and responsibility. These are all valid concerns, but there is something that is often lost in this chaotic mix: time spent simply enjoying life... time spent taking advantage of our time on this earth.

This week I have a few suggestions – as I always do – on ways to stop and smell the flowers.

Here are a few exciting events happening around the North Country this week.

The Wand’ring Minstrels will perform “The Pirates of Penzance” and more Gilbert & Sullivan Players Favorites at the Strand Center for the Arts in Plattsburgh on March 12. “The Pirates of Penzance,” or “The Slave of Duty,” was first performed at the Fifth Avenue Theatre in New York City on Dec. 31, 1879. It was the only Gilbert & Sullivan operetta to have its world premiere in the United States and it has remained popular ever since. This exuberant musical theater masterpiece, directed and conducted by Albert Bergeret with choreography by Bill Fabris, will be performed in its original format; featuring rich sounds of full orchestra, chorus, and vocal soloists. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets start at $20. For more info, call the Strand box office at 518-563-1604.

The Courthouse Gallery in Lake George will display work by Susan Meyer beginning on March 12. Meyer, who is a renowned artist and sculptor, creates fascinating mash-ups of architecture and landscape. The exhibit, titled “Formation Proposal,” collects pieces that “combine sculptural elements to create fantastical, sci-fi environments … and explore landscape and architecture as embodiments of, and catalysts for, our desires and aspirations” says Meyer. The opening reception will go from 4 to 6 p.m. and is free and open to the public. After the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display until April 15.

This month, the Hyde Collection in Glens Falls will host a two-part series on figure drawing, the art form that focuses on the human form. Attendees will be working with a live model in the Art Studio at The Hyde. The first class, “Figure Drawing,” is scheduled for March 12 from 1 to 4 p.m. The second, “Figure Painting,” for March 19. Registration is $40 for one class, or $70 for both. To register, contact Colette Broestler at 518-792-1761, ext. 310. Or email adminassist@hydecollection.org.

Partnering with 98.9 WOKO and the Big Change Roundup, the Mineville VFW will present a concert by country singers Joe McGinness and Jamie Lee Thurston on March 12. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Doors open at 7 p.m.

On March 19, the Slam Allen Band will perform at the Champlain Wine Company in Plattsburgh. The concert is part of the new “Plattsburgh Blues & Jazz” series produced by photographer Laura Carbone. The show starts at 9 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance, $15 at the door.

The Crandall Public Library in Glens Falls will host historian and singer Tisha Dolton on March 15. As part of Women’s History Month, Dolton will lead a discussion on music that helped to first shape the feminist movement. A sing-a-long will follow featuring topics that range from suffrage to birth control. The event will begin at 7 p.m. For more information, contact the library at 518-792-6508.

Now is the time for girls and volunteers to join the fun (NAPSI)—Good news for girls across America and around the world: Research shows hands-on opportunities offered by the largest girl-led organization in the world can provide many benefits in practically all aspects of a girl’s life.

“When girls lead, the world succeeds.

Girl Scouts is the largest organization in the world where girls call the shots and take charge of their own future,” explained Anna Maria Chávez, CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA). “By doing what they’re interested in and choosing fun ways to learn more, girls are developing leadership skills that aren’t offered by any other extracurricular activity.”

JoinÊ theÊ Fun To that end, GSUSA invites all girls to join the fun and register for Girl Scouts at www.girlscouts.org/join. It provides countless opportunities to make new friends, try new things, and exercise new skills through activities from building robots, to participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, to playing sports and much more.

How Girls Benefit As national studies from the Girl Scout Research Institute (GSRI) show, it’s not just what girls do but how they do it that makes scouting so beneficial. At Girl Scouts, girls get to learn by doing, and they do so in a girl-led environment. This means they’re encouraged to choose their activities, decide which topics they want to explore, and determine how they want to go about exploring them. According to GSRI, at least 75 percent of girls who experience this type of program become better at conflict resolution, problem solving, team building and cooperation, and developing self-confidence. In addition, nearly three in four Girl Scouts become leaders in more activities with their friends and classmates, as well as in their community.

These learning opportunities and experiences also help the girls in school. They learn not to avoid things that are hard for them, but rather to take these challenges head-on, practice creative problem solving, learn from mistakes, and grow—all skills that will help girls succeed throughout school and life.

Such empowering experiences have been shown to boost girls’ social and emotional skills, as well. Additionally, because learning by doing is best facilitated in small environments, Girl Scouts’ 3:1 adult-volunteer-to-girl ratio gives girls the optimal way to tap into their interests and talents, and the opportunity to explore fun new things including STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), entre-

preneurship and the outdoors. GSRI reports girls who experience learning by doing and are part of a girl-led program are more likely to develop confidence, healthy relationships, critical thinking, problem-solving abilities and other positive life skills.

ExpertÊ Opinion “Girl Scouts helps girls gain valuable life skills and amazing new experiences they can’t get anywhere else, all while having fun and making lifelong friends,” said GSUSA’s Chief Girl Expert Andrea Bastiani Archibald, Ph.D. “The hands-on and girl-led experiences offered by Girl Scouts help girls develop confidence that they can tap into to do incredible things at home, in their classrooms, across the country and around the world. At Girl Scouts, girls learn and thrive in an environment where they are encouraged to speak up, offer ideas and opinions, and try new things. And whether they succeed or fail, they are cheered on by others to try again!”

VolunteersÊ Wanted Girl Scouts is open to all girls from kindergarten through grade 12, and anyone over the age of 18 can be a Girl Scout volunteer. Girls can’t experience the benefits of the organization without adult volunteers, and each adult who volunteers can make a real difference in girls’ lives. Volunteers come from all walks of life; they are men, women, young professionals, retirees, college students and more. Both girls and adult volunteers can join at any time of year.

Monologues to be read

Tree, shrub seedling sale set

Students rise to the challenge

SCHROON — “In Remembrance of Me,” a monologue program by Carol Feickert will be presented Maundy Thursday, March 24, in the Community Room of the Schroon Lake Community Church, at 7 p.m. A series of five monologues by the Centurion (Peter Johnson), Mary, Mother of Jesus (Sandy Crooks), Joseph of Arimathea (Chuck Glinsman), Mary, of Bethany (Terry Johnson) and beloved disciple John (Mike Ryan), depict the hollow emptiness of time following the crucifixion. There will be special music and a parting communion. This Thursday evening service is open to the public, sponsored by the pastor and worship team of the church.

WARRENSBURG — The annual tree and shrub seedling sale will be held Friday, April 22, from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. With over two dozen native trees and shrubs to pick from, bird nesting boxes, fertilizer tablets, wildflower and game seeds, conservation seed packs, and fruit trees and shrubs there are plenty of options to enhance your property and attract wildlife.

The deadline is Wednesday, March 11. Information packets and order forms may be picked up at the office or online at warrenswcd.org or the Facebook page. Pick up of plants Friday, April 22. For information call 623-3119.

NORTH WARREN — As a result of the coordination of efforts by Megan Miller (North Warren Class of 2016), the Wait House of Glens Falls was provided with a total of 14 boxes of collected supplies from the North Warren Central School students.

Knowing that the Wait House provides emergency housing and assistance for homeless youth, ages 16 and up, through the immediate provision of coordinated services, Megan obtained a list of needs identified by the Wait House and presented her idea to the North Warren Natural Helpers chapter.

As a result, the “Wait House Challenge” was initiated. From Monday, Feb. 8, through Friday, Feb. 12, different food and non-food items were collected and gathered in each of the Class Advisor classrooms. Although this was a class competition, individual homebase groups of students in grades 7-12 all participated in collecting items. From a North Warren class perspective, the Class of 2021 earned Third Place,

The Adirondack Journal Sun • March 12, 2016 | 11

the Class of 2018 earned Second Place, and First Place, went to the Class of 2020 with the most items collected. On Tuesday, March 1, certificates were awarded by the Wait House.

Binghamton names Dean’s List BINGHAMTON — Binghamton University has named Jamie Jarett of Lake George, Noah Markwica and Austin West of Warrensburg to the Dean’s List for the Fall 2015 semester. This honor recognizes students who have achieved a grade-point average of 3.5 or higher.

ASL on Dean’s List KEUKA PARK — Alexandra Ballard, daughter of Kim and Duane Bullard and resident of Glens Falls, has been named to the Dean’s List at Keuka Collge. Ballard, a junior studying American Sign Language earned at least a 3.50 grade point average for a minimum of 12 semester credit hours to be eligible for the dean’s list.

Maple producers tell the tale of sugaring Sugarhouses prepare for Maple Weekend THURMAN — Thurman maple producers would tell you that the old couplet written decades ago, “Shake and shake the ketchup bottle, none will come, then a lottle” could apply equally well to describe the annual flow of maple sap. Each year these men and women spend days in the woods, preparing for sugaring season and waiting for the whims of winter weather to allow the sap to flow. And when, as it did this year, that sap picks a week in early February to flow, they must decide if that warming spell is just a flash in the pan, doomed to be cut off quickly by more freezing days, or whether the flow will actually continue and provide them with enough sap to boil. “February 2 is the earliest we have ever made syrup. It’s pretty weird for this time of year, with lots of spring birds out, and I even saw a chipmunk the other day—but at least the maples aren’t budding yet,” said Charles Wallace of Hidden

Hollow Maple Farm.

Old Man Winter has made a return appearance, and sap has stopped flowing until the next warm-up. Using the syrup already boiled, sugar houses are preparing and packaging products for sale. While they wait for more of this year’s sap, they are cutting brush and to expand their tubing and add another 1200 taps for next year.

At Adirondack Gold and Toad Hill similar task engage the families. Toad Hill also is dusting off the wagon for farm rides and test-firing the trebuchet, using chunks of firewood in place of the giant snowballs originally planned as projectiles. These four maple producers are joined by three other Thurman farm owners to put on Thurman Maple Days, which begin Saturday, March 19 and run for three consecutive weekends, ending on Sunday, April 3. At Nettle Meadow, producer of farmstead sheep and goat cheeses, dealing with spring lambing and kidding are added to the normal farm and cheese-making tasks, as well as Maple Days preparations. At Martin’s Certified Tree Farm, Gary Martin is sawing lumber for a new traditionally-built Dutch barn to be built on site by heritage artisan Andy LeBlanc.

stone, while son Caleb Martin beefs up his inventory of handmade silver chain maille jewelry. They are preparing indoor areas to display their wares and wooden boxes, bowls, spoons, chairs and rolling pins of woodworker John Los, who will be on hand some days to demonstrate his art. Irv West is getting his barn at Peru Llama mini-farm ready for youngsters to climb in the hay and visit Critter the kissing llama and his sidekick, Lima llama.

Thurman Maple Days is highlighted on March 19, by the Thurman Maple Sugar Party, held annually at the town hall for 57 years to raise money for the American Cancer Society.

Party organizer Kathy Templeton, who picked up the fundraiser “torch” that has been passed from woman to woman since the 1950s, is busily planning the menu and soliciting donations toward the purchase of some of the entrees and other supplies. She welcomes offers of help, covered dishes and other groceries. Those able to offer help should call her at 623-2967. Local maple producers donate a goodly amount of syrup for the dessert of old fashioned jack wax, which is made by simmering down syrup to the precise thickness that allows it to be drizzled over shaved ice, where it takes on the consistency of fresh-from-the-tree taffy.

One Hundred Years Ago – March, 1916 Firebugs strike fear in city Firebugs are believed to be at work in Glens Falls. Two suspicious fires started the night of March 22, 1916, both in second story hallways in the heart of the business district, within half an hour of each other. The first loss is estimated at more than $40,000.

The first alarm summoned the fire department to the Lavine-Braverman building at 150 Glen Street near the foot of the stairs in the second story. When the firemen arrived the stairs had been burned away and the hallway was a roaring furnace. The firemen were busy at work when they heard a spectator shout, “There’s another fire down the street.”

A portion of the firemen rushed to the Potter-Cowles building at 134 Glen Street where the hallway on the second floor was a mass of flames and the fire was breaking through the ceiling of Englander’s store on the first floor clothing store and spread into Haley’s Business College, causing a loss which will probably reach $40,000.

George E. Goodson said some damage was caused by smoke in his store adjoining the building damaged on the west. The fire was under control within half an hour but the firemen did not return to quarters until after midnight.

The Potter-Cowles building is owned by E, B. Potter and Frank L. Cowles. It is occupied on the second floor by Kenyon & Scott, real estate and insurance agents. The entire third floor is occupied by Haley’s Business College.

The total loss on the building is estimated at $2,000. An investigation is underway.

(Note – The day after the fire, on March 23, 1916, George LaJoy, a “pugilist” (boxer) Known as “Young Debtins” and Ernest Benway were taken into custody by the police and held in the city jail while evidence was sought to fasten the crime upon them. Suspicion rested upon the young men because they were seen loitering in the hallways of the buildings the evening the fire broke out. The

Parting of the way Dr. Eben L, Harrington, a native of Warrensburgh and also a former resident of Chestertown and later of Glens Falls, has been divorced by his wife, Mrs. Addie L. Harrington, of Schenectady, who has been granted an interlocutory degree by Justice Henry T. Kellogg of the Supreme Court.

Much interest has been taken locally in the divorce proceedings since Mrs. Harrington’s mother and father and several others were burned to death and she herself was badly burned in a fire which destroyed the rooming house which she conducted in Schenectady.

The fire followed an explosion of gasoline which occurred, Mrs. Harrington said, when she was using it to clean a waist (blouse).

Mrs. Harrington was in the hospital several weeks but was able to appear at the trial of the divorce case.

The divorce case was tried March 15, 1916 before Justice Kellogg in Schenectady. An action for divorce was brought against Mrs. Harrington by her husband. In her answer she set up a counter claim through her attorney, Beecher S, Clother, of Glens Falls and asked that a divorce be granted her, which it was.

Dr. Harrington was born and brought up in Warrensburgh and in due course of time became an expert barber. He conducted a shop for several years in Chestertown. Later he became an optometrist and placed himself in Glens Falls a number of years after which he removed to Schenectady. He has a son who is also engaged in that same business in Schenectady.

Boy leaves this world behind Walter Wells, who died Feb. 17, 1916, was

seventeen years, eight months and seventeen days old. He lived with his grandmother, Mrs. Frank Wescott, in Sodom.

Weep not for him! It seems hard to die so young and leave this pleasant world, but there is a better one beyond where sickness and death never enter and there is no parting there. We trust he has gone where all are well and happy for now he is at rest.

Hotel man passes away Antoine Lucia, 59, of Athol, died on a Saturday morning in March, 1916, in Utica, where he had been receiving medical treatment for two years. Mr. Lucia formerly conducted the Everts Hotel, in Athol.

He is survived by four sons, George, Harry, Albert and Oliver Lucia and a daughter, A.N. Lucia. The funeral was held at St. Cecelia’s Church, Warrensburgh and burial was in the Warrensburgh Cemetery.

Little trouble makers The proprietor of the Warrensburgh – Thurman stage coach is greatly annoyed by the dangerous practice of children catching rides on the rear end of his conveyance. There is great risk of serious accidents in this for which the driver could not be held responsible as he makes every effort to keep the children off, but with slight success. Parents are earnestly requested to instruct their children to abstain from this dangerous practice.

several hundred thousand dollars.

The engineering inspection revealed that the building’s foundation has shifted and needs reconstruction, the front porch foundation is sinking, the slate roof is failing, and the siding and the remainder of the exterior needs restoration and painting.

The report also noted that the front porch roof would likely collapse under a typical winter’s snow load, and the entire roof ’s support system is “poor” and its decking is rotting.

While the heating and water systems were judged to be sufficient, the building’s electrical system needs upgrades to meet current building code, and the staircase is too steep for a public building and needs replacement, according to the report.

For decades, the Harris House has been used as a community center. Until late 2011, the justice court and town judge’s quarters were situated in the Harris House, along with the town assessors. The building was closed down in fall of that year, in an effort to save utility and heating costs.

In May 2011, the Harris House’s basement was flooded in the historic Memorial Day weekend deluge that caused an estimated $7 million in damage to town infrastructure.

Three years later, the town was awarded an $11,500 state grant to replace the building’s furnace and restore the damage caused by Tropical Storm Irene, and make the structure suitable for hosting town court. But due to the town’s financial stress prompted by minimal state and federal compensation for the washouts of bridges and roads through town, the restoration of Harris House was put on hold.

Cedarwood’s report also cited that Harris House’s flooring cannot safely support more than a few people, and would need replacement for use as a community center again.

A taste of warm weather The spring sun has softened the snow and the roads are in bad condition because of the heavy drifts. But there is surely good times coming when the dust will again be flying.

Snow and zero weather have about gone from our area and the ice has gone out of the Schroon River, on March 30, 1916, in Warrensburgh, to a point above the Plank Road Bridge (now 1 Main Street) and the stream will be entirely clear in a few days if the warm weather continues as it has. The water is raising slowly and the river men believes the expected big freshet will not materialize.

The warm weather of the past few days has spoiled the sleighing and the stage drivers at Stony Creek have been running their wagons to the depot.

Sweet and sour notes In Athol, one of Rolland Combs’ cows has had a pair of twin calves. A son was born on March 6, 1916 to Mrs. Clayton V. Kenyon. James L. Kenyon has purchased Delbert Burdick’s farm and has sold his place, in Athol, to A.J. Pasco. L.W. Brooks, of Stony Creek, lost a horse recently.

In Warrensburgh, the Empire Shirt Company is looking for 50 operators to work on shirts in the stitching room. The John G. Hunt store is selling wall paper for 5 cents a double roll.

Readers are welcome to contact Adirondack Journal – Sun correspondent Jean Hadden at jhadden1@nycap.rr.com or 623-2210 Thurman own Supervisor Evelyn Wood said that the deterioration of the building had occurred over decades, and that the board would be considering its options with the structure, located near the town hall.

“Town officials have known for many yeas that the Harris House hasn’t received sufficient maintenance,” she said.

Highway garage is costing taxpayers The engineering report also concluded that the town highway garage, adjacent to the town hall, had a deteriorated roof, some structural deficiencies and an ineffective ventilation system.

The town highway garage needs major repairs to not only stem excessive energy loss which is costing the town plenty in excessive utility expenses, but also to bring it up to current state code.

Wood noted Tuesday that the proposal to relocate the court in Harris House is still under consideration, as the state has for years been advising town officials that the existing site for the court — in the town hall — isn’t secure enough and more space is needed.

“This report is helpful for the town’s long-range planning to know what problems exist and what repairs are necessary as we move forward,” Wood said, noting that town officials will be asking local residents for their input on how to proceed with town buildings. “We’re trying as a board to look down the road and be proactive.”

BELOW: The Harris House in Athol, used for decades as a community center for the town of Thurman, is in need of substantial repair according to conclusions reached after a recent engineering inspection. For years, the town board has been considering moving the town court from its temporary quarters in the adjacent town hall, but the report concluded that several hundred thousand dollars would need to be spent on major repairs to do so.
