RachaelÊ RayÊ showÊ returnsÊ forÊ 14thÊ yearÊ atÊ LGHS

By Christina Scanlon

LAKE GEORGE — Doors open two hours before tickets go on sale Saturday for the Rachael Ray Cooking Show, though people will be lined up in the hallway at Lake George School long before.

They’ll bring lawn chairs and books, and perhaps take a little snooze, while they wait to get the best seat in the house for the event, set for April 29 to benefit the Lake George High School Alumni.

You just never know what you might see and it might be hard to top something that happened last year, when Kevin Kelly proposed to Alyssa Sylvia.

“They’ve gotten married since and are planning on attending again this year,” said Pam Morin, a volunteer who helps with ticket sales.

Though likely not as exciting as an engagement, the event, which continues for the 14th year, does have some new offerings.

For the first time, credit cards can be used as a form of payment. Organizers have also removed the limit on ticket purchases, so one person can now buy for as many people as they’ll like.

Ticket sales start at 9 a.m. and are sold on first-come, first-serve basis, making the front of a line a coveted spot to earn assigned front row seating on the night of the event.

At noon, Morin said they will begin opening mailed requests for tickets, also in the order they were received, for those seats that remain open.

“Those people will get their tickets mailed to them, unless I get the money close to the show, then they will be at will call,” said Morin. In total, 530 tickets are available for theater seating.

Celebrity chef Rachael Ray cooks during her annual benefit show at Lake George High School in 2014. This year’s event will take place Friday, April 29.

Heroin fight needs more than arrests, says law enforcement

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG —There’s no such thing as the doctor’s prescription pad, anymore, at least in New York State. The mandatory electronic transmission of all prescriptions from doctor to pharmacy began Sunday.

“It’s to prevent doctor shopping,” said Warren County District Attorney Kate Hogan of attempts of individuals to obtain multiple prescriptions from several different doctors.

The measure will also prevent the alteration or forgery of hand-written prescriptions.

It’s a small piece of a much larger on-going battle with opioid addiction across the nation, one that has rooted itself in Warren County, as well.

“No one wakes up one day and says I want to be an IV her-

oin user,” said Josh Burns earlier this month at a public forum on addiction in Lake George. He detailed the jump from legally prescribed pain pills to purchasing them on the street, until he ended up with a needle in his arm.

It’s not an unusual tale.

“A substantial number of needle users started taking pills first,” said Warren County Sheriff ’s Lt. Steve Stockdale.

Arrests of individuals with amounts of heroin or illegal pain pills for personal use have risen over the last five years.

“We are also seeing an increase people of getting pain pills from someone else’s medicine cabinet,” said Stockdale.

Arrests for those dealing heroin in the area, however, have remained steady for the last five years.

“We aren’t seeing any declines, averaging, in terms of distribution, about 20 arrests a year,” he said.

The damage done by one drug dealer is hard to calculate, said Stockdale, using a 2014 U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration arrest that was guided by a Warren County sheriff ’s officer as an example.

In that case, Dr. Jeffrey Gundel of Gansevoort, wrote roughly 250 prescriptions for cash to illegally sell nearly 60,000 oxycodone pills.

“Unless we walk into Pfizer and walk out with the CEO in handcuffs, we can’t find another person selling more drugs than Gundel,” said Stockdale.

It would be impossible to determine the number of individuals that ended up swallowing those 60,000 pills.

Or what the cost to the public was, in terms of medicaid, unemployment, jail, rehabilitation or other services for those addicted to the drugs. >> See DRUGS | pg. 2

Or what ones eventually ended up like Burns, buying heroin when they could no longer afford to buy pills on the street.

Or what ones ended up dead.

What Stockade knows for sure, though, is “we aren’t going to arrest ourselves out of addiction.”

Warren County Sheriff Bud York said the work must be a joint effort with law enforcement and the medical community.

“We are seeing prescriptions that need to be audited more closely by the physicians,” he said.

Stockdale agreed. “We do see a common denominator of those doctors that are ‘quick with the script.’ We are seeing some criminality involved and those are being actively investigated.”

While they exist, those cases do not dominate in the county, said Hogan. “For the most part the medical community is very diligent.”

Hudson Headwaters Health Network recently received an annual $325,000 grant from the federal Health and Human Services Administration to expand treatment options for substance abuse and medication addiction.

“Addiction and abuse of opioids, including both heroin and prescription pain medications, is a serious and increasing public health problem,” said John Rugge, MD and CEO, in a press release. “Community health centers such as Hudson Headwaters have a role to play in addressing this issue.”

www.suncommunitynews.com

The plan for Hudson Headwaters to use the funds is still being hammered out.

For certain, said Rugge, “This is intended to deal with overuse of opiates, sometimes legal and sometimes not.”

Two doctors will lead the charge, taking in new training, while also looking at other successful programs around the country.

Rugge was aware of one potentially successful program in Colorado, in which York had taken some interest.

“It was at least a decade ago, “ said York, “The doctor, physical therapist and psychologist all work together.”

That program wasn’t in treating addiction, however. That was a preventative protocol in place for individuals who were prescribed pain pills.

At least a portion of the addiction treatment offered at Hudson Headwaters will include the use of suboxone, a prescription medication used for the treatment of opioid addiction.

It’s use has stirred controversy nationally, some arguing it’s use is simply replacing one drug for another.

Suboxone arrests are also on the rise, as addicts in treatment were found to be selling suboxone on the street to purchase heroin.

Hogan said for some of those reasons, those arrested that go through Warren County Drug Treatment Court, do not receive suboxone as part of ongoing treatment.

Though available in the very beginning phases of the program, Hogan said they see a high success rate without it’s use.

Records show only 11 percent of those who complete the

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

program have had future drug-related arrests.

Hogan, this week, is embarking on yet another arm of tackling the issue.

“It’s all about supply to demand,” she said. “We want to eliminate that supply.”

In the area, heroin sells for about $15 to $25 a bag. In New York City, it can be purchased for $3 to $7.

She is meeting with other law enforcement from New York City.

“We need to work in a coordinated fashion to cut off that supply.”

On the home front, “we need to reduce that demand and eliminate the reason they come here,” she said.

York admitted there’s no one solution or agency that will the magic cure.

“It’s a multi-pronged approach and its ongoing,” he said. It’s a battle where the ground will constantly change.

“They are creative and resourceful,” he said of drug dealers and addicts. “There’s always going to be drugs around, no matter what we do. We are sticking our heads in the sand if we think otherwise.”

Thurman to grind brush, create mulch for residents Eddy again exits board meeting

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

ATHOL — The town of Thurman will begin accepting limbs and brush at the town transfer station to be ground into chips for use at no charge by residents as mulch.

The town board — minus one of its five members — made this decision and others at their meeting March 29, because one member, Mike Eddy walked out in protest as he has at most other town meetings this year.

Eddy left the meeting after objecting to what he described as an “illegal meeting” of three other town board members in midMarch.

Several minutes into the March 29 meeting, Eddy questioned other council members Jay Youngblood, Susan Shepler and supervisor Evelyn Wood about their being present in the town hall on March 22, and they replied they may have all been in the town hall that day, but they weren’t together conducting

town business, and Wood was upstairs while Youngblood and Shepler were downstairs sharing a conversation.

Protesting that since all three were in the town hall at the same time they were holding a meeting that broke state open meetings laws, Eddy exited the meeting in protest.

In addition to limbs and brush, the town will also be collecting evergreen needles and leaves at the transfer station to be composted.

Wood noted that this service of accepting and processing yard waste, new to the town, may be expanded to include stumps if Warren County follows through with a proposal to obtain a tub grinder to be shared by its municipalities.

In other business, the Thurman board considered a state Department of Transportation request to dispose of about 2,000 yards of concrete rubble in the town’s construction and demolition landfill. The concrete debris is to come from the project to reconstruct the state Rte. 28 Bridge over the Hudson River.

Citing concerns that accepting such waste might use up too much capacity at the town C&D landfill, board members discussed the issue but took no action pending further re-

search. Wood said that the state would presumably be paying for the debris’ disposal.

Also, the board discussed a recent study conducted by Cedarwood Engineering concluding that the town Highway Garage and Harris House — the latter eyed to host the town court — are in serious need of repair.

Board members noted that the court indeed needs a new, larger space than it now occupies in the town hall, because a room is needed for defendants to talk privately with their attorneys. Agreeing that the town garage’s deteriorated condition is worsening and the town records room needs upgrades, board members said they didn’t want to postpone repairs any longer.

Board members Youngblood and Shepler were appointed to contact town department heads and listen to their ideas for facility upgrades, after which they’d gather ideas and concerns from community groups. Wood said that the general public would also be involved in deciding priorities for potential facility renovation, construction or acquisition.

Additionally, the board talked about repairing the deteriorating fence surrounding the Reynolds Cemetery on South Johnsburg

Road. The board discussed the possibility of removing a tree there that appears to be ready to fall and perhaps smash headstones.

Board members also took an initial look at a multi-year financial plan that Wood had finished just that afternoon. The document is to be reviewed at upcoming board meetings.

In addition, a brief executive session was held regarding the employment of a person involved with the white space broadband access development project.

Citizens speculated that the closed-door discussion concerned a billing dispute with Fred Engelmann, proprietor of Rainmaker Network Services, which designed and installed the award-winning wireless broadband system. No action was taken after the session ended.

Also, the board decided to have the town’s telephone system repaired by KB-24 Communications of Glens Falls for $4,093, a sum that was the lowest of three quotes obtained.

The phone service and DSL data connections at town hall are now poor — with dropped calls, line noise and interrupted data transmission.

Change is the future

ar too many in the newspaper industry have allowed others to determine their fate.

In an industry that has been in decline for many decades, the one single thing the industry was never willing to do was to take a hard look in the mirror and admit the decline was simply a result of internal failures.

It’s far easier to blame the decline on radio, TV, internet or even fickle readers that always seem willing to gravitate to the next “new thing”.

It’s easy to give up and throw in the towel. It’s far more risky to gamble on breaking from the past to reinvent yourself, but reinvention and the willingness to try something new and bold is exactly the cure for what ails an industry that is sadly in need.

We are honored to have just announced last week in many communities we serve that Price Chopper has now chosen to use the Sun as its distribution vehicle for their weekly flyer. They’ve been reluctant to break from the long running relationship with the daily newspaper distribution model, but with circulation in decline, results waning and a more viable alternative available, with a fresh approach, they knew it was the right time to make this change.

Like every organization, if you fail to recognize that change must be factored into the business plan sooner or later you become stuck in the past. More importantly, no aspect of a business can be considered sacred. In today’s competitive world, we are all forced to re-evaluate everything in order to remain ahead of the curve.

Just look at Price Chopper, an immensely popular and successful organization, yet they recently announced a completely new facelift and so much more with the re-branding of their stores to Market 32 and Market Bistro by Price Chopper in order to stay one step ahead of customer expectations.

Innovation and improvements come in all shapes and sizes. We know there is plenty of room for improvement here at our community newspaper and it’s something we enthusiastically are committed to improving everyday.

We strongly believe that free community newspapers like ours, with committed local ownership, have a path to the future that our friends at the corporate daily newspapers just don’t seem to understand.

Our promise to you remains; We’ll work hard to exceed your local information needs both in the short term and long term. We’ve got some really big plans in the pipeline and while we may misfire occasionally, we know learning from our mistakes is the only way to keep on, keeping on.

State budget a mixed bag for Adirondack Park

I

f the past five years are any indication, state leaders will have submitted a sixth on-time budget by late Thursday.

A number of thorny issues still needed to be hammered out as the “three men in a room” entered the home stretch at the beginning of the week, including a $15 minimum wage, paid family leave and education funding for public schools.

Other spending items appeared to be finalized — including funding for some of the biggest issues facing the Adirondack Park.

All signs seem to indicate legislators will approve Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s request to fully fund the Environmental Protection Fund to the tune of $300 million, nearly doubling the $177 million allocated this fiscal year.

For years, green groups have lobbied to restore this funding, which addresses a host of issues in one fell swoop, from habitat restoration, farmland protection to aiding municipalities with sorely-needed wastewater treatment infrastructure.

Total appropriations to address invasive species have been bumped to $10 million. Not only will this funding aid in continued efforts to combat what is an economic threat as well as a natural one, but also put the state on the global map as an international leader in the field.

That’s something to be proud of.

Considering the funds come from bank settlement funds, the decision is a no-brainer.

Kudos to the governor for this bold proposal.

There’s also a lot to love about the continued allocation of funds to boost tourism initiatives, broadband investment and the Upstate Revitalization Initiative that has brought $423 million of state investment to the region in the past half-decade.

But we’re less enthralled by the continued freezing hire at state agencies.

The state loves to buy land, but they don’t seem to want to invest enough money into ensuring its upkeep.

Both the Department of Conservation and the Adirondack Park Agency are understaffed.

In fact, the APA has lost 25 percent of its workforce in the past seven years.

Can you imagine a private business losing 25 percent of their staff and still LETTERS

SettingÊ theÊ recordÊ straight

To the Editor: I’m writing to set the record straight due to recent assumptions that have been made and facts that have been misconstrued: On Friday, Feb. 26, 2016 a meeting was held at the Village Hall with citizens who found an alternative plan to dissolution that would be fair to both village and town taxpayers.

The following people were in attendance at this meeting; a village trustee, six citizens and I, which does not constitute an open public meeting. As we were discussing the alternative information another trustee, who was at the hall for other village business, entered the room. At this time yes, it did become a meeting that should have been advertised and open to the public, as three or more village officials does constitute an open meeting however, I assure you this was not intentional; the entrance of the third trustee was not planned or anticipated.

On Saturday March 5, 2016 another meeting took place at the village hall with one village trustee, an attorney, two citizens and I. Again, this did not constitute an open public meeting and was held to obtain advice with regard to what the next step would be should the proposed dissolution plan be voted down. This meeting was not held in an executive session either. The state could not give us the answers we seek because a dissolution plan has never been voted down before. It is my duty as an elected official to listen to the concerns of all village constituent’s as well as to obtain any and all information to ensure that the dissolution process is followed to the end, in accordance with state law. No taxpayer funds were expended at either meeting and no action was taken.

Ernest Guerin Village of Port Henry mayor

being able to operate?

The DEC, too, faces a crunch, as revealed by a 2014 state audit that noted a decline of 300 full-time staff between 2003-14, but a 27.8 percent increase in spending during that same period.

DEC officials face a dizzying array of tasks, from overseeing permitting processes, enforcing what seems to be an ever-expanding list of new regulations to keeping visitors safe, including dangerous rescue operations over challenging terrain.

While we understand keeping government spending flat is the keystone in the governor’s property tax freeze program, it’s also important to give state agencies the tools they need to carry out their mandates.

Gov. Cuomo has acknowledged the upstate-downstate divide remains an important dynamic of governing the state.

Problem is, the governor only pulls out this argument when it furthers his narrative — like earlier this year, for instance, when he told newspaper editorial boards that his upstate budget initiatives may be railroaded by downstate legislative leaders.

Cuomo said upstate residents needed to join lawmakers as a counterweight against policies that would jeopardize a half-decade of state investment designed to lift upstate out of its funk.

So by this logic, certain allowances should also be made for upstate municipalities that wouldn’t otherwise be applicable elsewhere — like the aforementioned staffing issues, for instance. Or the slow burning minimum wage debate. Or any other policy, really, that puts the region at a disadvantage compared to the New York metro area.

The Adirondack Park is economically hamstrung by its unique status, we get it. As such, all state residents as well as elected officials need to view the park as a long-term investment with unique perks — not a bargaining chip in an upstate-versus-downstate tug of war.

MinimumÊ wageÊ increaseÊ willÊ curbÊ jobÊ growth,Ê killÊ smallÊ businesses

To the Editor: I am writing with great concern about the $15 minimum wage increase.

Being a family operation in the North Country for many years, I cannot see how the economy can support this large increase without losing jobs and losing full time workers to part-time.

To quote the February issue of the Glens Falls Business Journal and U. S. Representative Stefanik, it will increase the cost to employers an additional $13,413 per worker in this state. This will cost someone their job.

The deductions for the employee and employer will also increase.

Our lawmakers should be looking at our waste of taxpayers money and should be curbing this first and bring the budget in balance. Our social service programs are a disgrace: 60 percent of the people on these programs don’t work.

If they receive these programs, then they should go through drug test and background checks that a normal person having a job has to go through. It’s time we put the people who can work, to work while they are on assistance.

The governor’s new plan will only curb the job growth in the state and put a lot on the mom and pop businesses, who will go out of business. New York has one of the highest tax rates and cost of living in the nation.

I, for one, am not against a minimum wage increase, but this is ridiculous.

Mr. Director of Development (Brighton), you are nuts.

SageÊ doesnÕ tÊ speakÊ forÊ everyone

To the Editor: I read with astonishment the letter to the editor submitted by Mr. Don Sage in the March 19 issue of the Sun as well as the calm and thoughtful response from Major Charles Guess in the March 26 issue.

As a private citizen and resident of Schroon Lake, I would like to make three points: Mr. Sage seems to feel, that under certain circumstances, driving while intoxicated is acceptable and law enforcement should ignore it.

In his letter, Mr. Sage conjured up a conspiracy theory involving Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the State Police to ruin life in Schroon Lake.

I doubt that the Governor even knows Schroon Lake has an annual ice fishing contest, but even if he does, what could possibly be his motivation for wanting to ruin life in the North Country?

Mr. Sage signed his letter adding the title of “Schroon Lake Councilman.”

Adding that title gives the impression that he was speaking in an official capacity for the town board. I know that he was not speaking for the entire board, therefore he was expressing a personal opinion. The use of that title in an effort to add legitimacy to his personal views is totally inappropriate.

ProposedÊ LifeNetÊ serviceÊ inÊ TiconderogaÊ raisesÊ concerns

To the Editor: Healthcare is important to everyone. Money is sometimes just as or even more important. There are changes coming to the healthcare system in Ticonderoga that will affect every citizen’s finances.

There are a lot of changes happening at Moses Ludington Hospital in the future, which has been known for some time as expressed in local newspapers.

The most important change in my opinion is the fact that LifeNet of New York, which is owned by AirMethods, is planning on putting a base at Moses Ludington Hospital this summer.

AirMethods operates in 48 states, posting a profit last year of more than $100 million dollars. While the idea of having a helicopter in Ticonderoga is great and “cool,” the reality is that it actually is not.

This event will financially cripple our local EMS transport company which has been providing nonstop, effective care for nearly 20 years, of which I am a proud employee.

It will also put you and your family in a financial burden. If you have a serious medical event or traumatic injury and are taken to MLH, you will be stabilized and shipped to another hospital that can appropriately further treat your condition.

According to an investigative report by ABC News, AirMethods has left many people they have saved facing financial turmoil, lawsuits and debt collectors. Under federal law, AirMethods is considered an airline and can legally set any price they want for transport and cannot be regulated by government agency under the De-Regulation Bill.

At this present time, Lamoille Ambulance Service is the local ground transport agency and is stationed in Ticonderoga.

Lamoille provides constant 24/7 coverage providing a basic EMT and advanced EMT; 97 percent of the staff reside in Ticonderoga. All members are active in the community, ranging from service in the fire department or Ticonderoga Emergency Squad. Lamoille is the mutual-aid backup organization for other local EMS agencies. Staff are fully capable of providing ALS-level emergent care to facilitate the transport from MLH to another facility, such as the University of Vermont Medical Center.

If you were transported by ground ambulance such as Lamoille, it would take roughly one hour to transport you and your insurance would receive a bill around $1,500.

With LifeNet, they will also provide ALS-level care, but it will take a sig-

nificant more time to call in the crew, warm up the helicopter, package the patient and get in the air which can range anywhere from 20-30 minutes.

Your flight would be 15 minutes, and you would receive a bill for $30,000 which insurances will only cover a portion of it. By the time the helicopter lifted off, the ground crew would already be in Vermont and closer to the other facility. From the time the helicopter lands in Vermont, they have to load you into another ambulance which transports you eventually to the hospital, another additional cost.

According to The Journal of Trauma, Injury, Infection and Critical Care’s “Helicopter-EMS vs. Ground EMS Transport Study” (Charles Brault), it was found that “There were no differences at 30 days for survivors in disability, health status, or health care utilization. 19 percent of helicopter-transported patients died compared with 15 percent of those transported by ground.”

A study conducted by The Center for Health Behavior Research, Division of General Medical Sciences at Washington University titled “Effectiveness of Helicopter vs. Ground Ambulance Services for Interfacility Transport” states “patients transported by helicopter did not have improved outcomes compared with patients transported by ground.”

In conclusion, the effectiveness of the currently available and more affordable to the already economically undeveloped community that we live in.

Individuals that are seriously sick or injured are easy targets and will be taken advantage of in this community too, as others have been across the rest of the state and country.

The only difference in ground transportation versus helicopter transport is the cost that you will have to absorb for the same level of service provided.

To reaffirm the previous points: Ground transportation to the closest level 1 trauma center will cost approximately $1,500; the same level of service provided by a helicopter will cost between $30,000 and $40,000.

Also, ground transportation is typically covered by many health insurances where helicopter claims are being denied by them.

The choice is yours, let your voice be heard when making a decision about transportation to a higher level of care, the decision is yours!

We, the providers of ground transportation, are proud of what we do on a daily basis, and look to further improve on the already high level of service that we provide to the residents and visitors of our community.

ThanksÊ toÊ StewartÕ s,Ê localÊ businessesÊ forÊ holidayÊ matchÊ programÊ

To the Editor: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Each November/December, the local Stewarts’ Shop asks the community for contributions to their Holiday Match. Money is raised in all the stores and the amount collected from patrons is then matched by Stewart’s.

This allows organizations to request funding for programs that benefit children. This year, the Johnsburg Youth Committee has received $1,500 in funding which will be used to help create various programs throughout the school year. The funding will pay for class instructors, materials, and help subsidize activities generated by Kate Hartley, the JYC’s school year programming consultant.

The Holiday Match has also awarded Adirondack Treks, Inc., the outdoor adventure sports partner of the JYC, $500. This money will be used to subsidize summer rock-climbing.

We thank Stewarts’ Holiday Match program and all the community support which allows these two programs to offer opportunities for fun learning to our local youth.

Just keep in mind next Christmas season that your pennies, quarters and dollars do come back to us twice-fold and toss that change into the jar!

StillÊ bearsÊ HitlerÕ sÊ scarsÊ

To the Editor: This is response to Jim Haig’s letter in the March 19 edition, “Trump and Hitler: One and the same.”

A very fine observation. We as a nation have a situation. I am 89-yearsold and an immigrant from Europe who lived with the horrors of the 1930’s and 40’s.

I still have the scars that Hitler forced upon us and Stalin liberated with a vengeance. Joke’s on the U.S.S.R. Being Roman Catholic and a daughter of a loving Jewish father, we halfbreeds were next be to shipped to Aushwitz.

Thank God the war ended and I’m a proud American citizen. God bless the war effort, the U.S. Army and the United States of America.

To the Editor: We would like to personally thank Mr. Dayton Dednick and students from his Technology Class at Ticonderoga High School for coming to our need. Thinking of our safety, a group of students led by Mr. Dednick, came to our need by designing, building and installing a ramp to our front porch making it easier for us to use.

They can be very proud of their work, we are. We would also like to thank Ms. Jennifer Bonho for all her help.

COMMENTARY

Little Bits Weather sayings Gordie Little

Columnist

“A motley sky won’t leave you dry.” Have you heard that saying? I spotted it recently in a social media post from an Au Sable Forks friend. Among all the weather-related phrases I’ve learned, that was a new one. It got my head juices bubbling and led to this column.

The next phrase popping into my mind was: “Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.” Most people believe it is a quote from Mark Twain. My research points to one of Twain’s contemporaries by the name of Charles Dudley Warner, if that makes any difference to anyone but me.

These days, technology helps in predicting the weather. We are given forecasts days and weeks in advance. Millions are spent creating computer models that often conflict with each other and confuse us more than simply licking our fingers and sticking them out in the wind. My father used to say, “Ya pays yer money and ya takes yer choice.”

That’s one phrase that was used

by Mark Twain, but it pre-dates him by many years.

Mother Nature is fickle and often confounds the weather prognosticators. Admit it—you have uttered a few expletives of your own when media meteorology moguls have missed the mark and you ended up with puddles rather than sun spots on your lawn.

A friend from Michigan offered another great saying: “If you don’t like the weather here, just wait five minutes.” We’ve used that one in northern New York many times, haven’t we?

Old time fishermen might have said, “Mackerel skies and mare’s tails make ships carry lowered sails.” I’ve also seen it this way: “Mackerel sky, mackerel sky—never long wet, never long dry.”

I know you remember the saying about “Red sky at night, sailors (or shepherds) delight; red sky in morning, sailors (or shepherds) take warning.” I love to search for the older weather superstitions and sayings that might not be quite as familiar.

Here’s one: “When smoke from the chimney falls, it’s going to storm.”

One of my all-time favorites is, “Clocks and watches tick louder before mild weather.” Kaye offered one from her youth: “The coffee pot perks louder before a storm.” Another I recall: “If it rains on Easter day, it will rain for seven days after.” It was quite nice last Sunday, wasn’t it?

I’ll bet you never heard this one: “If the cat scratches over her ear, It’s a sure sign of fine weather.” Or, “When it rains with the wind from the east, it will rain 24 hours, at least.” “Rain falling when the sun is shining means the devil is beating his wife.”

I’ll leave you to ponder a saying from my early childhood: “Whether the weather be cold or whether the weather be hot; whether the weather be cloudy or whether the weather be not.

We’ll weather the weather, whatever the weather, whether we like it or not.”

One Hundred Years Ago – April, 1916 Beloved citizen dies The funeral of James Freeman Cameron, 45, held at the Methodist Episcopal Church, Feb. 25, 1916, was attended by scores of relatives and townspeople and the local school was closed the afternoon of the funeral in honor of the occasion.

The Death Angel’s call came at 5 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 22, 1916 and summoned the soul of this good man to his eternal home.

Secure in the faith of a higher life beyond the grave, fortified by the Saviour’s promise of reward for a well spent life and weary with suffering from which there was no possible hope of relief in this life, the summons came as a welcome release from the bands of pain. The deceased had been ill about a year of pulmonary trouble. Mr. Cameron was one of nature’s noblemen.

(Note – James Freeman Cameron was one of Warrensburgh’s most popular and successful citizens and the news that he had died at such a young age was a shock to the many people who knew and loved him. He was born Feb. 6, 1871 on a farm in the southwestern part of the town near the Stony Creek line to Lydia Ann Murray and her husband, James O. Cameron, from a family of brawny Scots who were the earliest settlers of the town.

James grew up on the farm and his first job was as section boss on the Adirondack railroad at Thurman where he remained for six years. In the latter years of the nineteenth century, he came to Warrensburgh and went into partnership with Charles A. Bowen and they established a general store in D.E. Pasco’s building in Lewisville in the area where Curtis Lumber is located today. They sold groceries, shoes and men’s clothing. He later entered into business with Halsey Herrick and after that came F.F. Stone, whose store James subsequently purchased. In 1897 he entered into business with his brother, Dudley Cameron and Dudley retired three years later.

James was married on Sept. 26, 1900 to Miss Sarah Bowen, a daughter of Miles Bowen, of Thurman. In 1907 a daughter, Laura was born.

James Freeman Cameron, a dedicated Mason and Republican, held many prestigious town offices over the years and he became very successful in the mercantile business. In 1915, due to failing health, he retired after nearly twenty years in business. His was a life well spent and he is remembered for his honesty and fair dealing and today we recall this man, whose life was a piece of town history, a hundred long years after his passing.

Racing on the ice

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

In a series of matched races on the ice track on Lake George between Wardmore, owned by Supervisor E.J. Worden of Lake George and Blackbird, the property of J.B. White, of Ballston, was won by Wardmore when she took the third race, Monday, Feb. 28, 1916 in three straight heats.

Lake George sportsmen believe that Wardmore is the fastest horse racing in Northern New York but Dr. Lee Somerville, who owns Jay Pointer does not agree and sportsmen look forward to a race between the two horses to settle the matter.

Pay up or move out Joe Miller, sole owner of the property, corner of Warren and Glen Street, Glens Falls, familiarly known as the Holden block, which includes the wooden business building and brick block on Glen Street abutting the property, has notified all tenants they will have the first claim upon such quarters as they now occupy. Rents which have been much lower than the new owner feels certain he will be able to secure, are raised and terms made uniform.

In the event of any tenant feeling not disposed to pay the new scale thirty days will be given such tenant to find new quarters. Out of town concerns including tobacco, drugs, restaurant and other lines of business are new applicants.

Attractive electric light advertising will cover the entire top of the wooden building illuminating the sidewalk and street in front of the property, bright as day.

Democrat speaks up Robert A. Cunningham has put up an ad in the Warrensburgh News saying, “One hundred dollars forfeit put up at Emerson National Bank if anyone in the town of Warrensburgh who can show I’m not a Democrat. I understand that T.J. Smith says I’m not.”

Thurman area news in brief In Athol, Will Wood is breaking a fine colt. Trumon Baker has moved on to Sanford Baker’s farm. One of Rolland Comb’s cows has a pair of twin calves. Miss Edna Smith has gone to Warrensburgh to work for Sophronia Kenyon. Basil Gallup is sawing wood for Allen Kenyon with his gasoline power machine.

The Adirondack Journal Sun • April 2, 2016 | 9

Hial Hall moved his family to High Street occupying Mead Ellsworth’s store. James Dow and family have moved back to The Glen where Mr. Dow is doing a wood job. Lee Baker, of White Lilly Lake, has moved his family on to the Alvin Harris’ farm owned by Watson Everts. Maple sugar making is the order of the day here now.

Sweet and sour notes There are many cases of grip in Warrensburgh, many of them verging on pneumonia.

Fort William Henry Hotel is set to open for the season on May 27, 1916 at Lake George.

Nathaniel Roberts, of New Vermont Road, Riverbank, has purchased a flock of sheep from J.J. Latham.

At Landon Hill, Chester, Mrs. Melvin Jones gave birth to a nine pound boy who has been named Forester. James Jones has purchased a new Grimm evaporator and also a number of new sap buckets.

Wilbur Perkins is drawing logs to his saw mill in West Stony Creek and has quite a stock on hand. Charles Brooks is drawing his pulpwood to Stony Creek for shipment to the Schroon River Pulp and Paper Company at Burnhamville, Warrensburgh.

A son was born to Mrs. Fred Morehouse of Bakers Mills.

Peru Llama Farm’s “Critter” and “Lima” will welcome visitors young and old, and impart information about llamas. As visitors wander up the driveway, kids enjoy reading to their parents a series of signs with messages like “When you touch a llama use a firm touch; that’s what they like very much. To them a tickle is fickle.” Kids there will receive a small gift and may experience the farm fun of the “hay crawl” with flashlights. Bagged llama fertilizer is available for sale, along with the author’s books.

Each of the other sites has a shop of wares available. For complete details and a printable 8.5” x 14” map and guide, visit ThurmanMapleDays.com. For questions email PersisGranger@aol.com or phone Toad Hill Maple Farm at 6234744.

Students recount experience at ATLAS graduation Saturday

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG —A dozen area teens will complete this year’s Adirondack Teen Leadership and Service (ATLAS) program, with graduation set for Saturday.

The leadership program, brought through the Johnsburg Youth Committee, under the direction of Deb Morris, owner of Barkeater Chocolates, focuses on preparing high school students to be leaders in their communities throughout high school and beyond.

Some of the upcoming graduates shared their experiences in the program: Hannah West, Freshman at Warrensburg Junior-Senior High School Why did you join ATLAS? I thought it looked like fun, my best friend was doing it, and I figured it would look great on a college application.

The answer for that one really depends on when you ask me. Usually, I’ll say the last session was my favorite and I loved doing _____. Like if you asked right now, I’d tell you that I loved doing the judgements and the murder mystery. If you asked a month ago, I would say I loved the speaker, it was really eye opening.

How do you think the program will affect you in the future?

I think ATLAS helped me make some new friends and have a little break from stressful school. I think doing ATLAS will help me in doing programs like it. I was able to take what I did in ATLAS and use it in my clubs. ATLAS helped me branch out and become less shy. At our sessions, I talk! I’m not normally like that and I loved voicing my opinion. I started doing that more and more because of my experience in ATLAS. What’s your favorite part of ATLAS? Easy - Deb! From day one, she made me feel welcome. Every session, she’s always happy and upbeat, which is super surprising because most of us are so tired we can barely keep our eyes open. Deb is great and she makes every session special. I’m gonna miss her after ATLAS...

Who was your favorite speaker?

My favorite speaker was John Robinson. He really opened my eyes, and didn’t make talking about his life depressing or anything. He was ac-

tually a ton of fun.

What do think about your ATLAS fundraiser?

I think we could have done better, but it was a ton of fun. I loved going to the mall with my new friends. We raised a lot of money, which was great. And I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Would you tell you friends to do ATLAS next year?

Definitely, but I’d be so jealous. It’s a great experience and a ton of fun. I learned a lot and made new friends.

William Davis,Junior at North Warren CSD Why did you join ATLAS? I joined ATLAS because it was offered to me and I thought it would be a good opportunity to further my leadership skills.

What experience stands out to you most from the program?

The experience that stands out for me the most was the presentation by John Robinson. He helped me see that you can’t make excuses in life and to overcome challenges.

How do you think the program will affect you in the future?

This program will improve my life in the future because I learned communication skills and to be more of a leader.

Evan Frasier, Sophomore North Warren CSD Why did you join ATLAS? A friend had been in the program and described his experience to me. The skills he learned made the program sound interesting. I had to join.

What experience stands out to you most from the program?

We met a man, Mr. Robinson, who was born with a disability. He taught us about treating everyone equally, to not be afraid to ask questions and to overcome challenges in life. My younger sister has cerebral palsy, it gave me a new perspective on what she goes through, how she’s treated.

How do you think the program will affect you in life?

The skills we are being taught in this program carry over to all areas of life. Personal, professional, social. I believe they will help me be a better

leader and person.

Stephen Monroe,Sophomore at North Warren CSD Why did you join ATLAS? A parent whose kid I go to church school recommended it to me.

What experience stands out to you most from the program?

One experience that stood out the most for me was when John Robinson came in and talked to us. He made me realize that, although I may feel like life is a struggle and everything is against me, there are people who have it 10 times harder than me but they keep working against challenges without complaints because they are used to struggling.

How do you think the program will affect you in the future?

I don’t know what my future is. I might seek a field in the military when I’m older, so the team leadership qualities I have learned and honed on will defiantly help me is I choose to go down that path.

Meagan O’Sullivan, Freshman at Warrensburg Jr.-Sr. High School Why did you join ATLAS? My guidance counselor said that ATLAS would be a great experience.

What experience stands out to you most from the program?

Something that stood out to me the most was the team building activities.

How do you think the program will affect you in the future?

In the future, I want to join the criminal justice system and this program will help me work well with others and stay open to other peoples ideas and opinions.

Caleb Morehouse, Freshman at North Warren CSD Why did you join ATLAS?

I joined ATLAS because my guidance counselor recommend that I do it, and it seemed like fun.

What experience stands out to you most from the program?

Raising money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, it helped my peers and myself to work together to raise money for a good cause.

How do you think the program will affect you in the future?

I think that the ATLAS program will help me best, by the teamwork skills I learned throughout the program.

Natalie Davey, Sophomore, Warrensburg CSD Why did you join ATLAS? I joined ATLAS because my parents, teachers and peers view me as a leader.

What experience stands out to you most from the program?

The experience that stood out most for me in ATLAS was working together with my fellow ATLAS members to solve a mock crime.

How do you think the program with affect you in the future?

The program will affect me in the future as a reminder to always be a leader.

Jack Buckman, Freshman at North Warren CSD Why did you join ATLAS? My guidance counselor suggested it and nominated me for it.

What experience stands out to you most from the program?

When we did our fundraiser and raised all the money for the Make-a-Wish foundation, it was a great experience and it felt amazing to help the children that are a part of Make-a-Wish.

How do you think the program with affect you in the future?

I’m not sure what I want to do in the future, but I think that most of the skills I have learned during ATLAS will carry on towards the career that I choose in life.

Lion King sets records, inspires new ideas at NWCS

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

CHESTERTOWN — Last October, when Heidi Maxwell first put pen to paper to sketch out some ideas for Disney’s “The Lion King, Jr.,” she had no idea what would eventually follow.

An astoundingly large group of participants —72 students, in fact — took to the stage for the three-night performance earlier this month.

Those performances, too, set records, as the first time any play at North Warren School filled every seat, and it happened for all three shows.

“When people fall in love with art, fall in love with drama and fall in love with the community… that’s when you know you’ve done something good,” said Maxwell, who served as the art director.

Each show earned a standing ovation, another mark Maxwell didn’t think had been done before. With the continued positive feedback from the public and renewed interest from students, Maxwell is hopeful for yet another development due

Also for the first time, the school’s Community Events Committee will be selling refreshments, with proceed to benefit a scholarship fund.

Morin said the show has expanded each year in terms of where the guests come from.

At first, it was primarily people from the immediate area. Recent years have drawn attendants from all over the state and Montreal.

This year, Morin said she is a aware of a group coming from Maine.

Book sales begin outside at 6 p.m. This year, Ray’s Everyone is Italian on Sunday will be available for $35.

Donations of both pet and human food will be accepted to benefit area pantries and animal shelters.

Along with the $25 admission ticket, each guest will receive a raffle ticket for a door prize.

Traditionally the gift has been a basket filled with a collection of Ray’s kitchen items.

Following the cooking portion, which begins at 7 p.m., Ray is scheduled to meet with guests, sign books and take time for photos, too, said Morin.

While Ray delves into two or three recipes and performs all the steps on stage, Deric Buck, of Bogey’s Pub & Grill, will be in the adjacent cafeteria preparing the same meals to the 500some guests. Desserts will be available from the Lake George Baking Co. Tickets go on sale Saturday, April 2, from 9 a.m. until noon.

we’d seen,” she said. “We went with a more caveman-like, rugged and earthy style, yet practical and simple.”

That theme carried into every character, with tribal prints, slashes of color and realistic animal features.

With directors Kim Sabo and Maria Swartz, and Laurie Yarosh serving as choreographer, the collaboration developed a truly creative team, said Maxwell.

Sheba, the elephant, was hulking proof of that teamwork among all participants.

The giant masterpiece, “paraded down the aisles in the first song and stayed to dance a few more numbers and take her bow,” said Sabo.

Originally made of PVC pipe and hose, the elephant, evolved alongside the actors, meticulously crafted with chicken wire, growing a saddle, ears and a braided tail, sprouted from the ideas of the many volunteers.

“I can do this. I can be a part of this,” said Maxwell of the spirit of the volunteers. “Everybody, no matter what their skills level was, they had ownership in making this play great.”

to its success.

Each year, the play alternates between older and younger students. This season was put on by the fourth through ninth graders. Maxwell has her eyes on a joint venture next year, opening up the production for both levels.

Parents also dove in headfirst and were an integral part of seeing the entire production come together.

“If I said I needed it, they would have it for me,” Maxwell said of the 20-some parents that gathered alongside at Saturday rehearsals throughout January.

Students pitched in by creating sculptures and other pieces.

“Every piece was brought to their level. Everyone who wanted to be a part, could be a part,” she said.

Those props, costumes and set pieces, were a version that may have been a surprise as the current rose.

“They weren’t cartoony. They matched well with the African culture and artwork,” she said.

Maxwell had not seen the Broadway version of the play, so those sketches came strictly from her imagination.

“I looked at pictures of hyenas and we didn’t really like what

Warren Co. railroad may host rail-bike excursions

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

THURMAN — Bikes may soon be traveling along stretches of the Saratoga-North Creek Railway —without first ripping up the rails to create a bike trail as some Warren County citizens have suggested.

A plan to provide rail-bike excursions along the railroad from Stony Creek to Thurman and from North Creek to Moose Pond in Newcomb was presented March 28 to county supervisors.

The guided excursions would involve 15 pedal-powered recumbent four-wheeled vehicles riding atop the rails, according to Kevin Harte of Renegade Rail Riders, the new enterprise sponsoring the trips.

The trips from Stony Creek to Thurman would be conducted between Stony Creek Ranch (formerly 1,000 Acres Ranch Resort) and Thurman Station — as soon as this spring.

The low-slung rail-bikes are powered by either two riders on the tandem model or four riders on the quad version, Harte said, and the cost to ride would be about $25 per person.

Harte and another principal of Renegade were briefly employees of Rail Explorers USA of Saranac Lake, where in 2015 this latter firm introduced the rail-bike trips along the Adirondack Rail Line.

Harte predicted that the rail-bike excursions would bring 11,000 people into the area, boosting tourism — as well as creating 14 jobs.

He said that his estimates are based on the remarkable success of the Rail Explorers’ operation, which ran at 90 percent capacity — although Harte’s 11,000 rider count for the proposed Warren County enterprise is based on only 50 percent capacity.

Contacted March 29, Alex Catchpoole with Rail Explorers said Saranac Lake operation, which ran four trips per day accommodating 160 bikers total, was working at capacity nearly every day last summer. He added that his enterprise planned to double the number of rail-bikes available this year.

The two enterprises are competitors.

Renegade’s initial plans call for bikers to board a rail-riding passenger bus at Stony Creek Ranch which would take them to Thurman, where their 90-minute rail-bike trip would begin. From there, the riders would pedal their rail-bikes 4.3 miles back to Stony Creek. He said the trips would be scheduled between the SaratogaNorth Creek Railway’s daily runs — one before the northbound train moves over the tracks at 10 a.m. and one or more excursions in the afternoon before the southbound train chugs past.

Jim Prybylski, manager of Stony Creek Ranch, said that with the prevailing global competition in tourism, his ranch and other area

Two rail-bike riders travel past Turtle Pond on an excursion last summer provided by Rail Explorers along the Adirondack Rail Line near Saranac Lake. Rail Explorers’ bike-rail enterprise had a banner year, sparking a proposed similar operation sponsored by another enterprise, Renegade Rail Photo provided by Rail Explorers, Saranac Lake Riders, over stretches of the Warren County railroad to begin this June.

resorts had to offer new activities, or tourists would go elsewhere.

“People from the metropolitan areas now want to be active, and this will allow them to explore the Adirondacks at its best,” he said.

Justin Gonyo said the North Creek-based excursion would likely take longer to develop, as various issues need to be resolved.

He added that he has met with federal railway administrators, and compliance details are being “fleshed out.” He added that the railbike excursions would boost the economies of Stony Creek, Thurman and North Creek.

“The rail-bikes will provide a unique attraction for the area — this would be only the second operation of its type in the U.S.,” he said. “It could be a key economic driver for the areas it would operate in, providing foot traffic, stimulating business and creating new jobs.”

Glens Falls Ward 3 Supervisor Claudia Brayer said she supported the concept, but questioned whether Renegade Rail Riders should be contracting with the county rather than the SaratogaNorth Creek Railway, as Warren County owns the railroad and leases the operation to SNCR.

“This idea is really cool,” Braymer said.

Queensbury Supervisor-at-large Doug Beaty questioned whether the county ought to charge Renegade Rail Riders a franchise fee or take a share of their profits for use of the tracks.

Another county supervisor questioned whether the rail-bike trips would be safe, suggesting the county might incur a liability problem if an accident occurred. Harte and Gonyo said that liability insurance was now in force. Harte noted that Rail Explorers had operated all last year without any safety issues or injuries. Harte also said that riders would be strapped in place, and excursions would have one guide leading in front of the 15 vehicles, and one guide trailing the riders. Hart said the trips would be “leisurely rides,” with the rail-bikes traveling between 5 and 15 miles per hour.

Harte said the excursions were family-friendly, and provided an activity for all ages, ability levels, and accommodated people with physical challenges.

The county supervisors serving on the Public Works Committee conceptually endorsed the rail-bike trips subject to resolving potential legal issues and negotiating the appropriate contracts. The proposal is subject to a vote by the full board of supervisors.

Lake George Association awarded $47,908 in grants by LCBP LAKE GEORGE — The Lake George Association has been awarded a total of $47,908 in grants by the Lake Champlain Basin Program for programs, projects and equipment for 2016. The grants will allow the Lake George Association to continue to protect Lake George water quality and to provide education for the future.

The Largest of the grants totals $19,608 and will be used for major stream repairs-the LGA’s 2016 Project Focus. The two streams targeted with this grant money are Hague Brook and Jenkins Brook-both in the town of Hague. The work that the LGA is planning with their partners is expected to stabilize streambanks in order to prevent sediment and other material from entering Lake George and degrading the lake’s water quality. The stream repairs are also expected to improve fish habitats in both areas and allow fish to move farther upstream than is currently possible.

“Stream health is very important to Lake George,” said Randy G. Rath. “Maintaining or

repairing the paths of streams and brooks-and stopping stormwater from eroding streambankskeeps Lake George clear of runoff sediment, and debris that can contaminate the Lake.”

The second grant, $14,300, will help pay for two Invasive Species Spread Prevention Education Interns. With a long history of educational outreach on invasive species, the Lake George Association plans to hire two interns for the season who will help educate visitors and the community about the threats of invasive species-and about ways the public can help prevent the spread of invasive species both on land and in the water.

“The Lake George Association understands the importance of spread prevention education,” said Kristen Rohne. “It’s something we have been doing for a long time as part of our mission. We realize that the more visitors and residents know about the threats, the better they will understand how their everyday actions can protect the Lake as well as protect all of the surrounding water

bodies.”

The third grant, $10,000, will be used to allow the Lake George Association to continue to offer our award-winning Floating Classroom program free of charge to schools with the Lake George watershed: Towns of Lake George, Bolton Lake Luzerne, Hague, Warrensburg, Ticonderoga, Putnam, Fort Ann, Whitehall, Queensbury and the Village of Lake George. As part of the Floating Classroom trips, the students learn about the formation of Lake George, measure the clarity of the water, and search for plankton, all on the LGA’s custom built vessel.

The Floating Classroom program is central to the LGA’s mission (Protect Our Water Educate for the Future.”). For more than 20 years, the program has taught students, visitors, residents and municipal leaders about Lake George in a way that can only happen while experiencing it out on the Lake-and had provided a wider understanding of how through someone’s actions, everyone

will protect the water.

The final grant, $4,000, will allow the Lake George Association to replace its 15-year-old large-format printer that is no longer operational. The printer is used by the LGA to print GISbased maps, project plans, signs, outreach materials, educational materials and informational materials, as well as for use in membership drives and other in-house programs.

“While the Lake George Association focuses its efforts, time and money on the Lake George watershed, we understand that we do not operate in a vacuum,” said C. Walter Lender. “The Lake George watershed is a major piece of the Lake Champlain watershed, and we realize that everything we can do to keep Lake George clean will also protect Lake Champlain downstream.

We are happy to have the Lake Champlain Basin Program as a partner for all the important work we have planned for Lake George in 2016 and we thank them for their support of our work.”
