LAKE GEORGE — When Warren County’s Emergency Service Director talks about cancer, he’s not speaking in the hypothetical. He’s able to speak from his own experiences after a battle with stage-4 cancer of the tongue and throat in 2011.

Today, Brian LaFlure says he’s been in remission for four years. He never smoked a day in his life, he said, though he does have a history of cancer in his family. But he can’t say with certainty whether or not his disease originated from decades as a volunteer fireman.

A National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) study in 2013 of nearly 30,000 firefighters found they had higher rates of several types of cancers, and of all cancers combined, than the U.S. population as a whole.

Specifically, the study found cancers of the respiratory, digestive and urinary systems accounted for a majority of the higher rates of cancer seen in the study population. The higher rates suggest that firefighters are more likely to develop those cancers, according to NIOSH. This and other recent and ongoing studies suggest the higher rates of cancer may come from exposures to carcinogens after the fire.

Across the country, fire departments are taking steps in reducing that contamination.

“When you fight a fire, you have an air pack on,” said LaFlure.

“You go home. You ride in your car with that equipment. If it’s winter, you’ll probably bring it into your house. Now you are exposing everyone,” he said.

The residue on the equipment, called “turn out gear,” is far more dangerous than in years past.

“In the old days — remember I’ve been doing this 40plus years — the houses were made of wood,” LaFlure said. >> See FIREFIGHTING| pg. 15

Children from northern Warren County manned a float promoting reading during the Chestertown St. Patrick’s Day parade held March 12 which drew hundreds of spectators. The popular event is one of many sponsored annually by the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance.

No joke, most Adirondack waters fishable by April 1 Mild winter has anglers excited for season

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — One of the mildest winters on record will give fishermen a rare opportunity to the start of the 2016 trout season.

“Anglers interested in Adirondack trout streams may actually be able to access and fish many of our streams in early April this year, several weeks earlier than usual,” said David Winchell, a spokesman with the state Department of Environmental Conservation. “Anglers possibly could be fishing on opening day, a rarity in the Adirondacks.”

Anticipation for April 1 is high around the region.

“People are definitely excited,” said Luke Haines, manager of Fish 307 in Lake George.

Full Thurman town board gets down to business

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

ATHOL — Functioning with a full roster of council members for the first time this year, the Thurman town board tackled a full slate of town business March 8.

The monthly meeting — which included councilman Mike Eddy who had boycotted prior 2016 board meetings — began with a moment of silence for Arthur “Skip” Bessaw, a long-time member of the Thurman Fire Co. Bessaw died suddenly March 3 at the age of 51. He was employed as Director of Buildings and Grounds at Westmount Health Facility, as well as operating several local service businesses.

A letter to the town board authored by Eddy was read — it objected to the bill he received from the town for $1,282 to reimburse taxpayers for the cost of his inquiry to the town’s Attorney months ago requesting advice on the tie vote in the November election and the legality of the subsequent “holdover” of incumbent board member Gail Seaman — to which Eddy had opposed.

In the letter, Eddy said his inquiries were “clearly town business.”

Wood has contended that town board members should only contact the town attorney when prior approval has been granted by the full board, due to its expense to local taxpayers.

At the February meeting, the board passed a resolution affirming such a restriction.

Wood noted that the 2015 town budget allocation for legal services had been exceeded. Eddy said in his letter to the board that if he were expected to pay back the $1,282, then town Highway Superintendent Pat Wood should be held personally liable for budget deficits in recent years totalling about $345,000. This was an era, however, during which the town was rebuilding its infrastructure after the historic 2011 Memorial Day weekend floods that destroyed many of the town’s roads and bridges. Evelyn Wood thanked Eddy for his opinion, and the board resumed its business.

Amy Hirsch of the Warren County Office of Emergency Services described in detail the purpose and needs for a local governmental Continuation of Operations Plan — primarily to be implemented in a disaster.

New board member Susan Shepler noted the potential replacement of a stretch of sidewalk in Athol, as well as how the retaining wall beside the town hall parking lot is collapsing and needs repair.

Town Easter Party set for March 26 Seaman announced that the town’s annual Easter Party, sponsored by the Thurman Youth Commission, is to be held from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday March 26. Among the activities will be an Easter Egg hunt with over 750 eggs to be hidden. Children are encouraged to wear Easter attire, including Easter bonnets, she said.

Seaman also noted that The Gleanings supplemental food program is now operating solely on donated items due to agency cutbacks — and that local donations are encouraged.

“We’re looking to build up our town food pantry supplies,” she said.

Evelyn Wood announced that a county-wide Hazardous Waste Collection session would be held May 21 — so florescent bulbs, paint, solvents and other toxic substances can be safely disposed of, free-of-charge according to present plans. People are urged to pre-register for the event.

Wood also advised that the telephone service and DSL data connections at town hall are poor — with dropped calls, line noise and interrupted data transmission. The town board decided to obtain quotes to upgrade or replace the town’s voice and data lines.

Also, Wood suggested that the town apply for two state grants — one to bankroll constructing an asphalt cap to quell pollution at the town salt shed, and the second to pay for developing a master plan of town buildings, several of which are in deteriorated

condition. Four town board members voted to approve such grant applications, but Eddy abstained. Eddy also abstained from a vote for the town to pay its current bills.

Also, Wood observed that the town’s recent Cabin Fever Party was very well attended.

“Everyone had a really good time,” she said. “We have phenomenal cooks here in town — Hopefully we’ll hold it again next year.”

Acknowledging that the town has a lot of projects underway, the board decided to schedule additional meetings, one each in March, April and May. The extra meeting dates of March 29, April 26 and May 24 were scheduled. All are to begin at 6:30 p.m.

Evelyn Wood noted she cast the sole vote in a recent county Public Works Committee meeting against signing a new five-year contract with Iowa Pacific, operator of the Saratoga-North Creek Railway on the county tracks. She said the proposed contract had no restrictions on the railway parking oil tank cars on the tracks as had been proposed, stirring up controversy. Also, she added that the railway had canceled their Snow Trains which were specified in the previous contract, and they had not operated their caboose food concession in Thurman last summer as they had promised. Also, she noted that since the railway was in operation, the town had lost the ability to use the rail bed during winter for snowmobiles — and the rail line has for decades served as a vital link between networks of snowmobile trails in the northern and southern Adirondacks.

Also, it was announced at the town meeting that the town hall now has new energy-efficient entrance doors — and that the former duct-tape seals were retired.

Progress on salt-contaminated wells Wood announced that she had met with various state officials this week regarding remedial solutions to the sodium contamination of several wells near the town salt shed.

Words turn to violence

t a time when we would all hope the nation would take the up coming elections with a greater degree of importance, it now seems apparent that fighting in the streets, and back rooms, may forever taint the elections of 2016.

Last week thousands of protestors successfully shutdown a Trump rally in Chicago and at other events in Ohio and Missouri protestors disrupted campaign plans.

Politics has always been a deeply combative environment. Candidates can be arch rivals one minute and the best of allies the next. While we call it a “cut throat’ business, to my knowledge no candidate has ever actually cut another candidate’s throat.

In everyday life we all say things like “I could just kill him” or “throw the baby out with the bath water.” Even the term “throwing someone under the bus” are mere expressions of our language to reflect a high degree of frustration and overly emphasize making a point.

But in this day and age our culture has gone so overboard on political correctness that it seeks to demonize anyone using terms and phrases that at one time, even to stiff collared TV censors of the 50’s and 60’s, would have been considered more a comical expression.

Can you just imagine what would happen today if anyone dared to say things like Ralph Kramden did on the Honeymooners when Jackie Gleason played Ralph in the late 50’s popular TV comedy?

As a nation and a world have we become so sensitive to words that we can no longer differentiate between an actual threat and a figure of speech?

Trump is bombastic, no doubt, but his competitors both inside the Republican Party and the Democratic Party have gone just as far off the reservation twisting his words to make him out to be far worse than the words he uses to reflect the anger he believes his supporters are feeling.

Let’s face, we’ve been heading down this path for some time and those who know how to spin the truth could make Captain Kangaroo look like Jack the Ripper if they so choose.

Political passion is one thing but it just seems folks are getting a little too wound up over this stuff, which if we aren’t careful, will continue to boil over until some one really gets seriously injured or even killed.

Let’s hope everyone can calm down a notch or two and give these campaigns time to play themselves out before the violence and/or worse gets completely out of control.

Paid family leave is the decent thing to do

I

t was a stunning display of pathos from a man known more for his chest-thumping bravado.

At his executive budget address in January, Gov. Andrew Cuomo poignantly recalled deep regret over not spending more time with his late father, Gov. Mario Cuomo, prior to his passing on New Year’s Day 2015.

The governor he said continued to blame himself for not being there .

“I could have. I’m lucky. I could have taken off work. I could have cut days in half,” Cuomo said. “I could have spent more time with him. It was my mistake, and a mistake I blame myself for everyday.”

But many New Yorkers don’t have that luxury when a parent is dying or child is sick, he said.

At present, the state does not offer paid family leave, which means folks roll the dice when they need to take time off. They get could fired or replaced.

Out of 185 countries, the US is just one of just three that doesn’t have paid maternity leave, the governor noted.

“This is not where New York should be,” he said. “At the end of the day, family matters. Intimate relationships matter.”

It was the governor at his best, rallying New Yorkers for a common cause.

What a speech.

As Albany enters the endgame for hammering out a budget before the March 31 deadline — each house passed their individual budget resolutions on Monday — Cuomo is continuing to push for a 12-week program of jobprotected paid leave.

If approved, the legislation would provide the longest such benefits period in the nation.

Only three other states — California, New Jersey and Rhode Island — offer similar programs. (The federal Family Medical Leave Act offers 12 weeks of unpaid leave.)

This week, the Family Planning Advocates of New York State got behind the proposal, which already boasted wide bipartisan support, and Cuomo urged lawmakers to “come together and move New York forward on this issue.”

Advocates say the legislation would address a long-neglected problem that unfairly penalizes women, the working class and minorities.

Here in the North Country, the lack of this safety net takes on even more serious dimensions due to the absence of child care services and our remote surroundings.

We’re all heard the stories of women being forced to stay home with their kids, or even enrolling leaving them at illegal daycare operations.

What other choice is there for low-income families?

Often, there is none. As a result, many end up on public assistance.

How will it work?

The governor promises no cost to employers.

The plan would require all employees to contribute a nominal amount each week to a fund that would pay out up to two-thirds of the state’s average weekly wage. The number will gradually increase until 2021.

Senate Republicans, who did not include the $15 minimum wage boost in their proposal, indicated they would support the plan.

But the devil, as always, is in the details.

The GOP proposal is said to contain measures to protect businesses from fraud by examining the length of time required for workers to qualify, as well study the impact on small businesses and if the employee charge is enough to cover costs.

While we’re also cautious — the last thing our small rural communities need is another unfunded mandate — it just seems like common sense.

Unlike the minimum wage proposal, which would disproportionately affect small upstate businesses and municipalities that are ill-equipped to handle a 67 percent increase in labor costs, this stands to benefit all of us: Employers will experience less turnover, the disadvantaged will see less hurdles in their career paths, and all of us will eventually face death and loss, like the governor.

Perhaps the legislation needn’t cover 12 weeks — six would be more appropriate — and small businesses should be exempt. We also think more light needs to be shed what illnesses fall within the parameters, and what safeguards are available to prevent abuse.

But the bottom line is people need time off to care for their loved ones, it’s a matter of common decency.

Gov’s lackeys destroy fishing derby, AdirondackÊ economy To the Editor: The annual ice fishing derby on March 5 and 6 drew 400 participants to our town.

In spite of Cuomo’s state police harassment, intimidation and entrapment tactics, the derby was a huge success with some excellent fish being caught and weighed in. Noteworthy were the northern pike.

Photos are available on the Schroon Lake Fish and Game Club Facebook page, Ice Fishing Derby. Prizes were awarded for first, second, and third in Northern Pike, Salmon, and Lake Trout, plus biggest Pickerel and Perch.

Hourly drawn door prizes were also awarded both days. The main distraction was Cuomo’s state police who were imported just for the weekend.

Normal years, they just harass the volunteers on their snowmobiles and ATVs who transport the fish from the ice to the clubhouse for weighing. This

we have learned to live with. This year with no snow and poor shore ice, the fishermen were required to bring the fish to the club themselves. This enabled Cuomo’s police to sit at the town dock and other locations, entrapping these out of town fishermen as soon as they came off the ice. It did not matter if they were going up to a town store or business, or bringing fish to be weighed.

Because of this harassment, intimidation, entrapment, the local businesses lost out. With a very poor snowmobile season the stores needed to have a good weekend. Lots of these visitors, fishermen, will not be back.

Cuomo claims to support Adirondack village economies and outdoor recreation. The actions of his police show this is a lie. Cuomo’s goal is to destroy the economy and jobs of every town and to drive all fishermen and other sportsmen from the Adirondacks.

Time to remove Cuomo, the third criminal in the room, and all his lackeys from Albany and government.

OnÊ minimumÊ wage:Ê StopÊ thinkingÊ of Ê yourself Ê asÊ aÊ victim

To the Editor: Mr. Bennett has apparently been in an entry level position for 20+ years and expects to be paid wages that doesn’t support his skills.

Mr. Bennett doesn’t understand that the law of supply and demand dictates wages in a free enterprise system and if you want higher wages, get a better education and learn skills that move you out of entry level jobs that were never meant to be careers.

If Mr. Bennett thinks the restaurant business is so lucrative, then maybe he should start his own. Over 90 percent of restaurants fail in the first two years and the ones that survive have a pretty thin profit margin in almost all cases.

So Mr. Bennett, if you want to get out of what you call a ‘living hell’, invest in yourself and learn skills that are in demand that command higher pay and stop thinking of yourself as a victim.

That may be hard to do and impossible for some, but in this country we don’t guarantee happiness, we guarantee the PURSUIT of happiness and that begins with you.

TrumpÊ andÊ Hitler:Ê OneÊ andÊ theÊ same

To the Editor: • A campaign characterized by bigotry and deception.

Adolf Hitler in 1933, Donald Trump in 2016. One and the same.

DareÊ weÊ doÊ nothingÊ aboutÊ genocide?

To the Editor: Your editorial of March 12 in regard to taking in Syrian refugees in the Adirondack Park, asks “How we can open ourselves up to refugees in a hostile political environment?”

You point to inflammatory and fearful language on the part of “several of our state and federal representatives” which you call “partisan hackery,” by which I assume you mean to point to bigotry against admitting Syrian Muslims.

I would like to point out, however, that for those of us trying to help the cause of the endangered Christian community in the Middle East, the shoe is on the other foot, the political atmosphere is much more unsympathetic and it comes for the political establishment.

Unlike Muslims, Christians and other religious minorities in Syria and elsewhere in the region are facing genocide. Solely for their religion they are beheaded, enslaved, abducted and sold, forcibly converted to Islam, and stropped of all their property.

The Obama Administration has not yet decided if these conditions warrant the label “genocide.” Our president has so far rejected calls to speed up admitting Christians and other religious minorities as a special group because “That’s not American, that’s not who we are.” Does that mean that we must close the door to suffering Christians because they are Christians?

As a Jew who grew up in the shadow of the Holocaust, I know were indifference to suffering leads. Dare we, on our watch, do nothing about the genocide happening before us right now?

Here’s what we can do: 1. Educate ourselves about the issue-there’s tons of information out there on the internet.

2. Press Elise Stefanik, our Congresswoman, to act: ny21lesima@mail. house.gov.

3. Give to the Cradle Fund (cradlefund.org), a group established to provide immediate humanitarian relief on the ground — food, shelter, clothing — where it is most needed.

Do not abandon these people.

ShouldnÕ tÊ theÊ boardÊ followÊ theÊ law,Ê too?

To The Editor: Supervisor Wood declared at the town board meeting on Dec. 8, 2015, Gail Seaman as incumbent was to be brought forward because of tie vote and failure to elect a candidate to fill the vacant board seat.

There were two incumbent board members: Gail Seaman and Leon Galusha.

An incumbent is a previous elected officer who has fulfilled their term.

There was a letter and memo sent to the town board from Town Counsel prior to the Jan. 4, 2016 organizational meeting that was paraphrased by the supervisor and ignored.

On Jan. 4, there were three sitting Thurman board members out of a five member board, Supervisor Wood, J. Youngblood and myself, Michael Eddy.

Dan Smith had resigned as of Dec. 31, 2015.

Supervisor Wood nominated Mrs. Seaman and a roll call vote was taken.

Seaman voted for herself along with Supervisor Wood and Councilman Youngblood.

I voted no.

Town Law 64 (5) An officer can holdover, but after the expiration of such term the office shall be deemed vacant for the purpose of choosing his successor.

Are only parts of the law to be read or all of the law?

Remember Paul Harvey, “and here is the rest of the story?”

In addition, “Our courts have held that where two candidates for the same office receive the same number of votes for an elective town office, the tie vote creates a vacancy upon the commencement of the term of office for which the election was held. The vacancy is filled by the town board sitting at the time of the vacancy.” “It provides that whenever a vacancy shall occur or exist, the town board or a majority of all the members thereof may appoint a qualified person to fill the vacancy.”

In re Crosby, 265 AD, 93 3rd Dept 1942, “It would be contrary to public policy to permit the hold-over respondent to vote upon the question of filling the vacancy of his own office.”

“Gail Seaman is on the Warren County Board of Ethics. Following Seaman voting for herself, the Thurman town board approved an Ethics Policy.

Had Seaman read and understood the Code of Ethics Policies?

Since then Supervisor Wood, Youngblood, and Seaman have voted to fill another vacant board seat. Now Thurman has two non-board members sitting. Is that hypocritical and a mockery of New York Sate Law, Oath of Office, New York State Code of Ethics or The Thurman Code of Ethics Policy?

ThankÊ youÊ Sun,Ê forÊ yourÊ editorial

To the Editor: On behalf of the Champlain Valley Friends of Refugees — one of three cluster groups that grew out of the January Refugee Summit in Keene Valley — I would like to thank you for the editorial in the March 12 edition of the Sun entitled “Taking in Refugees Will Be Good for the Adirondack Park.”

We are a loosely organized group of people in Elizabethtown, Essex, Keene Valley, Lewis, Westport and Willsboro who are committed to doing something positive to impact the current refugee crisis in Syria, the Middle East, Europe and the United States. We believe we can be of help with education and advocacy, international issues, and potentially local sponsorship. Because we are newly formed, we have only just begun to uncover the many ways we might help. Since we believe the plight of refugees is an ongoing issue, we see our role as long-term.

I especially appreciate the Sun’s emphasis on the value refugees would bring to the North Country should we discover that sponsorship and resettlement in our region is possible.

Rather than succumbing to an outsized national fear, the Sun encourages us to look historically and currently at the benefits refugees and immigrants of all sorts have brought into our nation.

We are a country built on the hard work of people who needed and wanted to start over. Our ancestors — yours and mine — had their own stories to tell about building new lives in a new land. Their spirit, dedication and commitment informs the new refugees who seek to do the very same thing.

The Adirondack Park region has the opportunity to provide a welcome to refugees who in turn would offer economic, educational and cultural boosts to our area.

Although I’ll be away for the coming month (joys of retirement!), I would be happy to hear from anyone interested in joining us in the Friends of Refugees movement and will forward your email on to an appropriate person.

Refugees,Ê militants:Ê HowÊ doÊ youÊ know?

To the Editor: Taking in Syrian refugees might be different from taking in legal immigrants. America became exceptional owing to the latter, while illegals now numbering in the millions are not helping to build our country, but rather are robbing those legitimate citizens who are in need of jobs the most.

Your editorial is biased against a so-called ‘white bunch’ failing to resemble shifting demographics.

That is where your tacit racism resides, hidden within your plea to bring Syrian refugees into the Adirondack Park, as opposed to honoring those waiting decades on legal lines. Jobs are not created by illegal immigration, but by a flourishing free-market economy.

Last I checked, we were approaching 20 trillion dollars in debt. Is that going to “be good” for the Adirondack Park?

Especially since many experts have openly acknowledged that government’s ability to vet refugees is weak at best. How can we possibly gain intelligence from a homeland in such disarray?

Since 1979, there has been a constant series of deadly attacks on America under a terrorist movement known as jihad and couched in any number of various gang-tags, the latest of which is called ISIS or ISIL or whatever.

The list is long and you have failed to illustrate such balance. America must be kept safe from worldwide terror and it’s completely prudent and reasonable to screen any and every new applicant for US citizenship – and more especially those who profess Radical Islamic beliefs.

You call that partisan hackery? Then what would you call the Fort Hood massacre? Because I call it failure to name it for what it was, which is Islamic Terror committed by an individual clothed in the uniform of an heroic warrior of our nation.

Rather than define attacks by Islamic militants, which you did, as having largely faded into rearview, you ought to apply some of the principles our valued history of legal immigrants who lived and died for American Exceptionalism, instead of misrepresenting so-called “nativist attitudes.”

Your editorial is utterly wrongheaded and replete with anti-American notions.

By the way, I had the honor to serve at Ground Zero in search of my lost responder colleagues – I can assure you they will NEVER be so dishonored by your word “rearview”, I think about them and all the lost souls of September 11th, 2001, each and every day.

COMMENTARY

Little Bits Pronunciation Gordie Little

Columnist

W

hat’s the good word?

How many times have you greeted someone that way? More often than not, the answer is, “No good words.” I love the English language. It is made of words—some good; some not so good. Meanings for many have evolved or changed entirely over the years.

Today, I want to talk about pronunciations that have changed.

Sometimes, it bugs me and I wonder if it bugs you, too.

Let me just throw one out for your consideration. URANUS. I probably learned it in third grade.

Mrs. McGee pronounced it very clearly: “Yer-ay’-nus.” We all repeated it with some of us giggling in the back row. No matter. That’s the way astronomers were pronouncing it at that time.

But, somewhere along the line, after television came along, a change was made and I was astounded: “Yer’-ah-nus” was what I now heard. And, it seemed that nobody ever said it the old way again, except me. I’m old fashioned that way.

For the purposes of this column, Kaye and I wracked our old brains to come up with other words whose pronunciation changed since we learned them.

The Enola Gay B-29 Superfortress carried an atomic bomb code named “Little Boy” and it was the first such weapon dropped from an aircraft. The target was Hiroshima, Japan. I was just 8 years of age, but I will never forget that date: August 6 1945. I remember Walter Winchell reporting it on our ancient Philco radio. He pronounced it “Here-oh-she’muh.” Now, most say, “Hur-oh’sha -muh.” When did it change?

Darned if I know.

By now, you have already come up with a few of your own. Caribbean is another. Kaye and I learned it as “Care-uh-bee’-un.”

Not anymore. Now, it’s “Kah-rib’ee-un.” What’s up with that?

During WWII, we all had ration books with stamps to buy certain things at the store. We pronounced it “ray’-shun.” In case you haven’t noticed, the “a” in the first syllable now sounds more like the one in “admiral.”

I’m so confused.

I always pronounce the continent, “Ant-ark’-tih-kuh.” Most others, it seems, leave out the “k” sound in the second syllable.

I believe it was Honest Abe Lincoln who said, “It’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.” Sorry, that’s very difficult for me because my lips were made for flapping. You might say “ath’-ah-leet” and I say “ath’-leet”.

You might say “nook’-you-lur” while I say “nook’-lee-ur.” You might say “ex-kape’” while I say “es-kape’.”

Here’s a tough one. How would you pronounce “prerogative?”

If you said “pree-rogg’-uh-tiv,” you’d be on my wave length. If you said “purr” for the first syllable, I would have to disagree.

Smart people say “kan’-dihditt.” My old fashioned brain says “kan’-dih-date.” Politics is a wild subject these days.

I’d better quit while I’m ahead.

One Hundred Years Ago – March, 1914 Logs scatter the landscape A.C. Emerson & Company on Tuesday, March 28, 1916, finished sawing all their logs in their yard in Warrensburgh.

The mill will be shut down now until the ice finally goes out of the river and they can reach about 350 markets (logs) which are scattered along the banks of the SchroonRiver between Warrensburgh and Richards Mills. Sawing these will occupy not more than two weeks. The company has bought no logs in the north this season therefore they will have no material to work on during the summer.

The winter supply of logs is obtained from farmers and lumbermen who draw them to the mills on sleighs. They have a large quantity of pine lumber piled in their yards which have been rather a slow sale, the demand at present being mostly for hardwood.

Songwriter’s new hits Two songs have recently been published by John Francis Beckwith of Riverbank, one entitled “My Soldier Boy,” and the other “I Didn’t Raise My Girl to be a Mother,” with words by Mr. Beckwith and the music by A.E. Berry. The songs are of the semi-sentimental order with war motif and the music is catchy and whistleable. The songs are rightly constructed to catch the popular fancy and should be good sellers.

Feet saved, toes lost Philip Mead, of Warrensburgh, whose feet were frozen and who was taken to the Glens Falls Hospital for treatment, underwent an operation for the amputation of the toes remaining on both feet after the first operation when his feet were frozen two years ago, It was feared that he would lose at least one foot, if not both, and he is indeed fortunate to escape with the loss of his toes. (Note – This entire unusual story was told in this column in the March 5, 2016 Adirondack Journal – Sun.)

Time to prepare for summer Adirondack snow and zero weather are about gone and preparedness is the talk of the day. It’s up to you to get ready for the excessive heat which will surely follow these cold weather months and buy a famous Baldwin refrigerator, the pin-

nacle of perfection in the refrigerating world. Refrigerators are priced from $7.00 each. Berry W. Woodward, manager, is selling these brand new appliances at his funeral directing and embalming establishment in Warrensburgh.

Farmer’s new home Delbert Burdick has traded his residence property on King’s Addition in down town Warrensburgh for Butternut Grove Farm on the Schroon River Road, above the Warren County Home, owned by Melvin B. Langworthy and Silas Morehouse.

Mr. Burdick has had extensive experience as a farmer and will need no instruction on how to till the soil.

Under the knife Taylor Fuller, of North Creek, chauffeur of the Warrensburgh – North Creek automobile stage, was operated upon Thursday, March 16, 1916 in the Albany Hospital, for the removal of an abscess under his arm. A dead bone was also removed from his breast. The operation is deemed a complete success.

Henry Kenyon dies News has been received in Garnet, Sunday, March 26, 1916, of the death of Henry F. Kenyon, in Saratoga where he lived with his son, Delbert Kenyon. His body was brought back home to Garnet. He is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Bert Bates and four sons, Melvin, Zeno, Delbert and Charles Kenyon.

Rest in peace Early on a Saturday morning in March, 1916, occurred the death of Mrs. Woodard Wells at her home in the North Chestertown section. She had been a sufferer a long time and her troubles seemed not to be valid to medical treatment for her tumor at the base of the brain.

She is the daughter of Thomas F. Welch and the mother of Lela and Nina Wells. Despite the bad roads and bad weather, there was a large turnout at her funeral.

Cow worth her keep G.W. Monroe has a cow that has broken the record. It is keeping two families with milk, one of six persons and another of three besides furnishing D.D. Lilley’s route with cream and also raising two flourishing calves. (Note – A.A. Christian owned a hen, whom he named “Lady Eglantine,” that laid 314 eggs in 1916. You read it here folks!)

Little pups in the window On exhibition on Saturday, Feb. 26, 1916, in one of the display windows of the Dickinson & Bertrand Drug Store, were six Eskimo puppies, the property of Philip E. Rice. The puppies, born six weeks ago to the pair of Eskimo dogs acquired some time ago by Mr. Rice, drew the attention of people from all parts of the community.

Snow white balls of fluff, with large dark eyes, they elicited exclamations from all who saw them. (Note – Philip E. Rice owned the Brown Swan Club in Schroon Lake and lived at “Ye Guest House,” the public lodging that is today known as the “Cornerstone Victorian Bed and Breakfast.”)

Sweet and sour notes The first recorded use of the phrase “Queen Village of the Adirondacks” was used in 1916 in the Warrensburgh News to describe our village.

Miss Daisy M. Waters, daughter of George C. Waters, were married Friday evening, March 3, 1916 to Harold Turpin of Schenectady.

Looking back today at history It was just 215 years ago, March 4, 1801, that Thomas Jefferson arrived at the capitol on foot for his inauguration as president of the United States. (Note – Can anyone picture Donald Trump “walking” to Washington, D.C.? I bet that he would “walk” from New York City before he would pass it up!)

It was just 108 years ago, March 12, 1908, that Glens Falls became an incorporated city. It became the forty-sixth city of the state of New York.

L.G. Village draft budget: lower spending, yet taxes up 1.5%

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE — According to a tentative 2016-17 budget distributed to village trustees this week, taxes are predicted to increase 1.5 percent over the next fiscal year despite a 2.9 percent decrease in spending from the current year.

The projected increase in taxes despite lower spending is apparently due to a reduction of the amount of debt reserves applied to balance next year’s budget — from $477,000 in 2015-16 to $46,750 in 2016-17.

General government debt service is to decline in 2016-17 by 32 percent from $1,226,182 to 836,136 due to the retirement of a bond anticipation note of $400,000 funding a portion of the Charles Wood Park development project.

A public hearing on the budget is to be held at 6 p.m. Monday March 21 at the village’s regular monthly meeting.

The 2016-17 budget calls for $5,075,246 in total appropriations for governmental operations, versus $5,229,374 this fiscal year.

This $5.075 million in expenses for 2016-17 is to be reduced by almost $3 million in revenues, a slight increase from 2015-16, and further reduced by $46,750 in reserves and $700,000 in fund balance — the latter a 20.7 percent increase from 2016-17.

A sum of $1,338,211 is to be raised by taxes, a 1.6 percent increase of $21,332 over the current year. But with the assessed valuation budgeted to rise from $217.8 million to almost $218 million in 2016-17, the increase in the tax rate is predicted to go up less than the increase in tax levy, or 1.5 percent.

Major increases in spending include a boost in engineering expenses from $30,000 to $50,000; construction of a new storage building for $$62,000; purchasing a new half-ton

truck for $58,000; painting the Lake George Visitors Center for $16,600 and leasing a sewer line camera to detect leaks for $18,000.

Additional personnel expenses this coming fiscal year include an increase in health insurance of $39,000; and an increase in Workmen’s Compensation premiums of $8,000.

Hourly employees are to receive a 5o cents-per-hour increase in pay, and department heads are to receive raises of $2,000 per year. Village Trustees are to receive a 2 percent increase in pay, but the mayor’s salary is to remain unchanged.

Appropriations for the village water fund are budgeted at $945,172, a decrease of $180,340, or 16 percent less. The water fund appropriation for 2015-16 was $1,125,512. This decrease is partially due to a projection of a 3 percent increase in water revenue, from $864,150 in 2015-16 to $881,150. Debt service for the water fund is expected to plunge 41.6 percent, from $179,973 in 2015-16 to $105,025 in 2016-17. One additional new expense is purchasing a new vehicle for the Water Superintendent for $26,000.

The village board was presented with the tentative budget at their special meeting March 7.

Village equipment up for bid Other business conducted at the meeting included a decision to declare a long list of village equipment and vehicles as surplus, and put them up for public bids.

The list of items available, totaling five pages, includes trucks, snowblowers, office equipment, lawnmowers, weedwhackers and saws. Vehicles offered for sale include a 2001 Ford F550 dump truck with plow, a 2004 Ford F350 4x4 utility truck, and a 2005 Ford F250 4x4 pickup. The list of items is available at the village hall, and the deadline for bids to be submitted is 4 p.m. March 17.

In other business, the village board decided to cancel a pro-

posed public hearing rental housing law — to allow further review by the board, village officials and legal counsel. The ordinance is intended to help set minimum standards for apartments and boarding houses.

The law requires landlords to provide contact information of renters so they or their family members can be reached in an emergency.

Village officials have said that control over boarding houses and apartments would help prevent abuse of foreign workers, including housing four students or more per room, as was occurring decades ago.

Also, the village board decided to postpone the decision of whether to approve a proposed Junior Firefighter program.

The board is to address the issue at their March 21 meeting.

Resumes arriving for county admin spot, Geraghty at helm in interim

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

QUEENSBURY — Applications are arriving to find the replacement for Warren County Administrator Paul Dusek, who is set to retire at the end of the month.

So far, said Personnel Committee Chair and Bolton Town Supervisor Ron Conover, a decent amount of resumes had been accepted. They have not, however, been considered or vetted for qualifications.

Applicants have until April 7 to submit their intent.

In the interim, county law states the chairman of the board of supervisors will serve as the acting administrator until the position is filled.

Board Chairman and Warrensburg Town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty will take on that role. He will not receive a stipend for those added duties.

Officials had previously speculated the hiring process could take months.

Conover said some discussion took place among supervisors as to whether an interim administrator should be named instead of Geraghty.

No action was taken on the measure.

Firefighting << Continued from | p. 1

“Today, everything, furniture, wall covering, everything is petroleum-based. Now when a house burns, it burns hotter and faster. When those products burn, those fumes are substantially worse than they used to be.”

PVC pipes, when they are heated, said LaFlure, release chlorine gas.

“It’s all these same carcinogens you have brought home on your gear,” he said. The solution is special solutions, and they are not cheap. A quick search on the internet reveals five-gallon buckets of cleaners that state they remove the carcinogens cost well over $100.

For volunteer fighters, it seems hardly fair for them to foot the bill, but more than the soaps are needed.

“Using your own washing machine, you can contaminate your own laundry,” said LaFlure.

Machines to properly wash the equipment are called washer-extractors. They can cost upwards of $5,000 said LaFlure, though as more agencies are learning of the hazards, some are being installed in fire stations.

“We are a great country, but we are also poisoning ourselves,” said LaFlure of the products used in homes that come from technological advances.

“You know it’s a dangerous job,” he said of fire fighting, “You don’t need to make it any more dangerous. The part you can prevent, is the part you breathe in.”
