Q AND RAY

W’burg community responds to proposed Bolton merger

This Week QUEENSBURY

Petition calls for Westmount vote

By Ryan Edwards ryan@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ A community forum was held in the WCS Cafetorium on Tuesday, March 31, to allow citizens to voice their concerns regarding the possible merger with Bolton for all fall sports except golf, for which both schools maintain healthy teams.

In response to the successful Bolton/Warrensburg soccer merger last year, the Bolton school board voted unanimously in favor of adding football, field hockey, volleyball and cross-country running to the list of merged programs on March 9.

The Warrensburg board plans to hold a vote on the merger at their April 13 meeting.

For Bolton, the merger will provide students the opportunity to participate in athletic activities currently unavailable to them, while for Warrensburg the influx of Bolton athletes allows for more competitive programs.

Q and Ray

in two volumes because they couldn’t make the spine work for a book that large. They will sell them at the same time, but they have to be broken into book one and book two because there are so many recipes.

From page 1 like this. They are buying computer stuff that I don’t know how to use and extra stuff for the kids that just makes it a better experience for them. I love coming here. I loved going to school here because it’s so tiny; there’s only fifty-something kids in the whole class. They need every little bit of help they can get, so itÕ s no big deal. I’m here anyway. I come home any weekend I can. I just stop here on my way there, thatÕ s all.

AJ: That was my next question—if this is the only time you get to come home during the year.

RR: Oh, no no no. The rule is, if I have 36 hours or more I come home.

AJ: So I want to ask you a little about your charity work. I know a lot of the emphasis is generally on your nonprofit Yum-O, so I thought I’d ask you what’s new with Nutrish since last year.

RR: Nutrish was built on the model of our childrenÕ s initiative, in that we create product that you can just sell in a store that people want to buy anyway, and thatÕ s what funds it. We donÕ t work like most charitable initiatives; we don’t have big balls and fund-raisers. WeÕ ve thrown a couple events over the years, but weÕ ve found that they donÕ t net a lot of cash, so President Clinton actually taught me once we started working with him on the childrenÕ s initiative that building a business model is the most successful way to fund any sort of charitable initiative, and it was great advice. So we just created products and things, like all of the bakeware. Now we’re going to switch the entire brand actually, to give a percentage of the whole thing to Yum-O instead of dedicating products, because it’s been really difficult to track it, because there are so many products now. When we first started it was a cookbook, children’s tools for the kitchen and all of our bakeware because kids love to cook in the kitchen with mom. We have so many products now that itÕ s just getting complicated. But, I think Andrew’s given away more than $4 million over the years. [Andrew Kaplan, director of Yum-0] The dog and cat food is based on that model but itÕ s actually more successful because 100 percent of all of the proceeds from the brandÕ s entirety go to animal rescue since day one. In five-and-a-half or

six years the dog food raised over $6.5 million. We started the cat food this year, and I just gave away my first $500,000 from just the cat food, so itÕ s amazing. So collectively thatÕ s a lot of money.

AJ: What is different about this cat and dog food? What makes it stand apart from the regular stuff?

RR: The dog food is made entirely in America and you can read it like a menu. I’ve eaten it myself. As for the cat food, the dry food is made solely here in America, and for the wet food we buy our seafood from Thailand. There are no additives in any of it, and itÕ s incredibly great food. IÕ ve had the cat food as well, on MSNBC. I had sardines and my friend had Chicken Piccata.

ItÕ s all completely edible for people too. ThatÕ s how I have good teeth and a shiny coat.

AJ: What about your new book? Will that be hitting the shelves anytime soon?

RR: Well, I’m up to 23 books this year, but in the late fall the largest book I’ve ever written is going to come out—“Everyone’s Italian on Sundays.Ó When I delivered the manuscript it was over 700 pages, single-spaced. TheyÕ re actually going to sell it

AJ: Tonight, though, you’ll be signing “My Year in Meals/My Year in Cocktails,” correct?

RR: Yes. “My Year in Meals” is literally what my husband and I made at home for an entire year, and my co-author is my husband, who wrote “My Year in Cocktails,” because when I’m cooking, John is making cocktails. Which is good, except that my husband took all the photos in the book, and he was decidedly more sober when he took his cocktail pictures. My food is blurry with sort-of good light. John’s cocktail photos look like they’re from Saveur Magazine. Then he gets a couple in him, so my food kind of green and out of focus. But the book is very personal. I mean, itÕ s a year in our lives. I write down, obsessively, everything I cook. I write probably seven or eight notebooks, handwritten, every year, of all the food that I write for everythingÑ the magazine, the television show, everything I cook in my home. I’m a little bit of a nutbag; I’m a pen-and-paper kind of gal.

AJ: One last question: I know you love to cook in your kitchen at home. Is there any specific dish your family has come to expect when Rachael’s in town?

RR: No—it’s whatever they want. Nothing makes a cook happier than well-fed people with smiles. They are the boss of me.

RayÕ s characteristic bubbly disposition is not reserved for sets and stages; she charmed a high school library full of reporters as if they were her studio audience before she made her way to the packed auditorium for her sold-out performance. There she live-cooked her original recipes and filled the downtime between ingredients with anecdotes from her childhood in Lake George and questions from the crowd about cooking, home design, her personal life and more. In keeping with tradition, she stuck around for hours after the show to sign copies of her book and take photos with her fans.

It’s been over a decade since her first performance, and the show is as popular as ever, still garnering a substantial sum for Ray’s alma mater in a little lakeside town that the global superstar still considers “home” after all these years.

Upcounty bridge replacement caught up in state dispute

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com BOLTON Ñ A long-standing project to replace a deteriorated bridge over the Schroon River is mired in state bureaucracy, and Warren County officials are now seeking to improve existing roadways as an alternative way to temporarily accommodate local traffic.

The Middleton Bridge, which carries county Rte. 4 over Schroon River in the towns of Bolton and Warrensburg, has been closed to traffic since 2009 because of its condition. The one-lane span, owned by the county, is about 120 years old.

Since 2011, county Public Works officials have sought to replace the bridge with a new one to be constructed about 2.5 miles north, connecting Chester and Horicon, creating a new river crossing further away from a main crossing of the river bearing county Rte. 11 over the Schroon River.

The proposed new location would provide a greater benefit for upcounty residents, cutting more than five miles off trips to and from the Ridin’ Hy Ranch and Sherman Lake area. Many motorists as well as school buses and emergency vehicles accessing this region east of I-87 Northway would have their trips short-

ened substantially.

Federal and state grant funding had been reserved for the project Ñ as much as $3 million was to be set aside.

But the state owns strips of shoreline land along the river near adjacent to where the new crossing would be built, and two state agencies disagree how it is classified.

State Department of Environmental officials have repeatedly said the shoreline strips, about 20 feet wide, are classified as Forest Preserve and canÕ t host a bridge without an amendment to the state Constitution, but the state is not paying taxes on the land to local jurisdictions as it would be required to do if it were indeed Forest Preserve.

State office of Real Property Services officials have said the land is not Forest Preserve according to their records, county Public Works Superintendent Jeff Tennyson told county Supervisors recently.

“We’re caught between two agencies with differing opinions,” Tennyson said, explaining to the county leaders that the state has been petitioned to render a decision. He said that due to the delays funds to replace the bridge have been shelved for five years.

Local officials said they were dismayed the state set restrictions on the land, but werenÕ t paying taxes as they should to local municipal and school authorities.

Ron Vanselow reviewed some of the history of the proposed project with other supervisors at the Public Works Committee meeting, noting that county officials had contacted DEC and suggested that a fishing pier with handicapped access be located adjacent to the bridge as part of the project, but DEC officials didnÕ t change their stance. Vanselow said that former Horicon Supervisor was the source of the proposal.

“We thought they’d see the fishing pier idea as a positive,” he said.

Tennyson said the state Attorney General’s office was contacted repeatedly during recent years, but to date the issue has not been settled between the state agencies.

“Either we push DEC and the Office of Real Property Services to resolve this issue, or we line up funding to remove the existing bridge,Ó Tennyson said.

Tennyson didn’t get the definitive answer he was looking for.

But Horicon Supervisor Matt Simpson suggested that while the issue is being resolved, the gravel roads on either side of the Schroon River be upgraded, as they routinely flood during high water conditions.

The issue is likely to receive further review at upcoming county Board of Supervisors meetings.

Petitions seeking referendum on Westmount sale submitted

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com

QUEENSBURY Ñ Opponents of a pending sale of countyowned Westmount nursing home have submitted petitions intended to force a public vote on the proposed transfer Ñ but itÕ s not clear whether they have obtained enough signatures to achieve their objective.

Government watchdog Travis Whitehead Ñ an engineer from Queensbury Ñ and Glens Falls Ward 2 Supervisor Peter McDevitt submitted petitions Monday bearing 1,533 signatures to the Warren County Board of Supervisors.

The petitions call for a public vote on whether the county should be allowed to bypass a bidding process for the sale of the nursing home rather than the Ó request for proposalsÓ process that has already occurred. A negative public vote would at least temporarily block the pending sale of Westmount Health Facility to Centers Health Care of New York City for $2.3 million.

The sale, already approved by the county Board of Supervisors, has been the subject of controversy Ñ public meetings on the issue have drawn capacity crowds.

Opponents of the sale have questioned the quality of care that Centers Health care would provide, as well as the potential staff

cutbacks that would occur, or reductions of pay and benefits to the nursing home staff, if retained.

All but four of the 20 county supervisors have voted in favor of the proposed sale, citing that Centers Health Care has been properly vetted, and that the firm would be able to provide an expanded array of specialized services to patients. County leaders have said that due to the facilityÕ s ongoing operating losses, delays in the sale will cost taxpayers $165,000 per month Ñ a figure questioned by opponents of the sale.

Necessity of public vote yet undecided

Whether 1,533 signatures is sufficient to force a public vote wasn’t clear as of Tuesday. County officials said weeks ago that state law indicates that the number of signatures required is 10 percent of local votes cast in the last gubernatorial election Ñ or 1910 signatures.

Until this last weekend, the sale opponents said they aimed to obtain 2,000 signatures. But Monday, Whitehead said recent research into the state law had yielded the conclusion that 5 percent of the votes, or 955 signatures would be sufficient due to an exception to the permissive referendum law that can be invoked when the petitions address an issue that “changes a provision of law relating to public bidding, purchases or contracts.Ó Whitehead said that in 1992, Tioga County residents forced a

public vote on a proposed sale by obtaining signatures equal to 5 percent of the gubernatorial vote.

Whitehead said Tuesday he had inquired of county officials about the 5 percent exception, but hadnÕ t yet received an answer.

“It’s very difficult to interpret state law, and I’m not a lawyer,” he said. “But from what I’ve read, it’s my assumption that it’s 5 percent that we need.Ó However, county Board of Supervisors Chairman Kevin Geraghty said he had been advised that 10 percent of the votes was the minimum number of signatures legally required to force a public vote.

Tuesday afternoon, county Administrator Paul Dusek said that county Attorney Martin Auffredou was conducting research into the law and its exceptions, to determine the number of signatures needed.

“He’s looking carefully into this — before we make any comments,” Dusek said.

Whitehead said he was going to continue his own investigation into the issue: “If further research shows that 5 percent is adequate, I could file an Article 78 — but if I am convinced 10 percent is needed, then Ô ThatÕ s that.Õ Ó

Merger

From page 1 If passed by the Warrensburg board, the proposal will go to the Adirondack League and section II officials, who have yet to deny a merger.

At the forum, Superintendent John Goralski, High School Principal Doug Duell and Athletic Director Scott Smith provided a general overview of what the merger will look like, if passed, before taking questions from he audience.

Dying programs

Sports mergers have become increasingly common in recent years, according to Duell, which can be attributed in part to a pattern of declining enrollment across area districts, Warrensburg included.

“I’ve seen more mergers in the last five years than I did in the previous 20,Ó he said.

Naturally, fewer students means increased difficulty in fielding teams for all of the schoolÕ s programs.

Class size wasnÕ t the only issue raised in regard to declining participation, however.

Board vice-president Doug West said that the lack of interest in traditional athletics is a cultural shift beyond the control of school administration.

“We’re not going to change that,” he said.

He added that the merger is one of the ways the administration is maintaining their focus on an aspect of the issue that they can conceivably combat.

Warrensburg football coach Michael Leonbruno suggested this lack of enthusiasm stems from a lack of competitive programs.

When the merged teams start winning games, he continued, school-wide enthusiasm will follow.

“The desire to win is everything,” he said. “Nobody wants to show up to cheer on a losing team, and nobody wants to play on a losing team.Ó He added, “The kids who show up on the first day of practice don’t want this merger. The kids who are working their butts off right nowÑ they want this merger.Ó

The Warrensburg community voices their concerns about a proposed fall sports merger with Bolton to High School Principal Doug Duell (left), Athletic Director Scott Smith (center) and Superintendent John Goralski (right).

Citizen concerns

While the majority of discourse at the meeting was favorable in regard to the merger, some issues were raised by those in attendance.

Among them were the likelihood of an increase of players cut from teams.

“Certainly there could come a time when cuts are a possibility,” Goralski said.

He suggested that these prospective cuts will both serve as an incentive for athletes and inspire a sense of healthy competition among teammates.

“Any time we can enhance our athletic program, I think we should move forward and participate,” he said. “We should play as many sports as possible, and be as competitive as possible.Ó The merger also affords an opportunity to increase the number of programs offered, which will allow for more options for students interested in school athletics.

Another concern raised at the forum was the possibility of

changes to coaching staff.

Coaches are signed to three-year contracts, which are always awarded to a faculty member over a non-faculty community applicant.

This raises the issue of a non-faculty coach in Warrensburg having to surrender his or her position to a faculty coach from Bolton.

As it stands right now, Goralski said, the Warrensburg coaches are the head coaches of all proposed sports to be merged, as Bolton currently does not offer these programs.

“We do not anticipate any changes for the upcoming school year,Ó he said.

Soccer coach Rob Thomas emphasized the value of having Bolton co-coaches on board, as they are closer to the Bolton students and can provide insight into the studentsÕ scholastic and domestic lives that cannot be gleaned from interactions at practices and games alone.

Also raised at the forum was the issue of permanence, as citizens expressed concern for the necessity of the merger should the pattern of declined enrollment reverse and the athletic programs become healthy again.

Goralski responded to the concern by assuring that the trend is constant all the way down through the elementary school.

“For the foreseeable future,” he said, “we would be best served by a merger.Ó As for the issue of who will pay for what, Goralski said, “We will address the costs when need arises.Ó When the soccer teams were merged, referee costs were split down the middle, each school purchased uniforms for one of the two teams, and a transportation plan was worked out between the schools, he said.

As for the team names and mascots, Goralski said that they will be decided on a sport to sport basis, depending on which school fields the most players.

He added that Warrensburg is open to the idea of establishing a unified identity for the merged teams if it is something the students want.

“If that is a priority for the kids, it shouldn’t be the adults who make the decision,” he said.

Lake George Land Conservancy completes 18 acre transaction BOLTON LANDING — The Lake George Land Conservancy (LGLC) recently completed the purchase of more than 18 acres in the Town of Putnam (Washington County) that provides a point of public access to LGLCÕ s 189-acre AnthonyÕ s Nose property.

LGLC purchased AnthonyÕ s Nose, which includes Record Hill, in December of 2000. Home to nesting peregrine falcons, the property’s rocky cliffs are an iconic feature in northern Lake George. The land also includes 3,350 feet of lake shoreline, and abuts the 244-acre Flat Rock property to the north, part of the Adirondack Forest Preserve.

The newly acquired property consists of 15.5-acres adjoining the southeast edge of Anthony’s Nose, a 2.6-acre block on Schw-

erdtfeger Road, and a 50-foot easement of right-of-way connecting the two.

The property’s half-mile hiking trail to the summit of Record Hill will be made official with LGLC blazes this spring, and a parking area on Schwerdtfeger Road will be constructed by the end of the summer. The preserve also will now be part of LGLCÕ s annual Hike-A-Thon, which is held each July 5.

LGLC Executive Director Jamie Brown said, “This conservation project is a major accomplishment and IÕ m pleased that we are finally be able to offer Anthony’s Nose as a true public resource.Ó A fundraising campaign is in progress to pay for the purchase,

which was made possible thanks to a private loan and donations from individuals, families and foundations. LGLC recently received a $35,000 grant for this project from The Conservation Alliance, whose mission is to engage businesses to fund and partner with organizations to protect wild places for their habitat and recreation values. More information about the project and how to donate can be found at lglc.org/projects/anthonys-nose-access.

With its public access secured, the entire AnthonyÕ s Nose property is eligible for purchase by New York State, which has expressed interest in adding the land to the Adirondack Forest Preserve, further ensuring its protection in perpetuity, and providing public access to Flat Rock.

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ A charitable organization that helps thousands of families in need across northern Warren County will soon be holding its annual benefit gala, and the public is invited to join the fun.

Tickets are still available for the event — the premier annual fundraiser for North Country Ministry Ñ set for Friday April 17 at the Hiland Park Country Club in Queensbury.

The event, titled “Celebrating the Adirondacks,” features live and silent auctions of various upscale wares and services, hors dÕ oeuvres and a sit-down dinner, Adirondack music by singer-songwriter John Kribs, and convivial socializing.

Featured in the live auction, conducted by Martin Seelye, will be fine jewelry by Frank Adams Jewelers, Adirondack artwork and handcrafted furniture, Saratoga Race Track box seats, tickets to various regional events, and dining gift certificates.

Proceeds of the event support North Country MinistryÕ s array of programs for families in need.

North Country Ministry is an ecumenical, not-for-profit outreach organization that provides services to individuals and families facing various challenges, including job loss, financial hardship, and emergency needs.

The agency serves over 1,000 people monthly across a 600-square-mile area. Their services include supportive counseling, advocacy and referral, a meal site, a family clothing shop, furniture donations, an emergency assistance fund, parenting support, housing rehabilitation and adult living units. The group also provides baby clothing and equipment, car seat assistance, and a play group for babies and toddlers.

Families receive help and counseling through a full-time caseworker who provides assistance to families experiencing a crisis Ñ which could include meeting basic food, clothing or housing needs; car repairs to get to work; or assistance with heating costs.

residents to endure.

“This winter, we saw many seniors facing crises with heating system repairs, large fuel expenses and freezing pipes due to the extremely cold weather,Ó she said.

She noted that the economic downturn several years ago was severe for thousands in the area, and a full recovery hasnÕ t occurred yet Ñ as evidenced by the growing number of children eligible for the free and reduced-price school lunch program.

“Families in our area continue to struggle financially,Ó Harrington said.

North County MinistryÕ s latest endeavor was to create a full-service food pantry, now providing vital nutrition to hundreds of families.

Harrington expressed thanks to her group’s long-time benefactor Ñ and board president — Dr. James Morrissey and then-vice president Charleen Bivona, for making the food pantry a reality. Dozens of people donated a total of $100,000, and The Michaels Group provided construction services to establish the food pantry at the agencyÕ s outreach site in Warrensburg.

Sponsors and donors to the Spring Gala include: Hudson Headwaters Health Network,

Teachers at Warrensburg Elementary School volunteered to create an outdoor activity club this past winter. The students participated in activities such as sledding, skating, snow shoeing, snow sculpting, and other fun activities. Over 90 students in grades K-6 participated. They celebrated their final day by making S’mores over a campfire.

Adirondack Journal Editorial

Let’s get behind the Peckham proposal

W

e all know the tide of opinion regarding marijuana is changing, particularly where its medicinal properties are concerned.

In addition to the four states, not including the nationÕ s capital, in which recreational use of the plant is legal, as of June 2014, 32 states have legalized cannabis for medicinal use, and in December 2014 Congress and the Obama administration ended the federal prohibition on the plant when used medicinally.

New York is one of those 32, and Gov. Cuomo will award five two-year licenses for marijuana growing and dispensing operations. Each company will be allowed one facility in which to grow their product and four dispensaries from which to sell it.

As you may already know, one of these licenses may very well be granted to an Adirondack family.

Amy, Hillary and Keeley Peckham, wife and daughters respectively of Peckham Industries CEO John Peckham have applied for a licenses through an affiliate of their company called Etan, LLC. While there will be a myriad of applicants considered for the licenses Ñ which require a $10,000 application fee and a $2 million bond to prove that applicants can afford to establish the operation Ñ only a fraction of these will be given serious consideration.

The Peckham family is certainly among those few. With an 85-year reputation of honest, professional service to the region, Peckham Industries has become one of the largest road construction and maintenance material suppliers in the Northeast U.S. The proposal has since been endorsed by the town of Chester, where the growing facility will be located, and the Warren County Board of Supervisors.

It is impossible to deny the value of such an operation in the North Country.

The law is already passed. Five licenses will be awarded. Why should the Adirondacks miss out on all the benefits this lucrative business can provide?

All across the U.S., profits for the medical marijuana industry are through the roof and continually growing.

It is estimated by marijuana entrepreneurs that the profit margins can range from 30 to 45 percent, and that the facilities can bring in $3,500 to $5,000 in rev-

enue per square foot.

Sure, this is a great opportunity for the Peckham family, but how will it benefit the community?

Jobs.

Dozens of well-paid, long term jobsÑ and even more for the short-term to get the facilities up and running.

The business will call for professionals in the fields of horticulture, pharmaceuticals, chemical engineering and construction, as well as offering security, property management and general labor positions.

Workers will be allowed to unionize, and the operation would provide competitive wages to its employees, starting at $12-$17 an hour for general labor and increasing substantially for specialists and management.

This will be a necessary shot in the arm for the region, and, bearing in mind that nourishing the upstate economy is an integral part of Gov. CuomoÕ s platform, it seems a no-brainer that one of these five facilities should land in the Adirondacks.

Even the county stands to benefit from the operation.

Marijuana sales are subject to seven percent excise tax, of which the counties where the growing facilities are located will receive 22.5 percent, and an additional 22.5 percent goes to the counties where it is dispensed.

Even if only one of these dispensaries ends up within the Warren County line, where the growing facility is proposed, that is a healthy stream of much-needed tax revenue.

LetÕ s not forget the most important benefit of the operation—this is a necessary medicine that has helped millions of people alleviate the symptoms of a host of maladies, some of which the plant has even been proven to serve as a cure.

It would be an incredible disservice to the region should none of these facilities find a home in the Adirondacks. The country has seen dramatic financial gain from cannabis legalization, and it would be a disgrace for all five of these licenses to be awarded to applicants from downstate and western New York. The North Country cannot afford to allow this opportunity to go up in smoke. It’s a no-lose situation for everyone involved.

Scrutinizing town zoning regs To the News Enterprise: Rumor has it that some folks on the Lake George Town Council are wringing gnarly hands over the prospects of lost revenues and increased expenses as a consequence of changes to the TownÕ s zoning regulations under a new Comprehensive Plan proposed by The Chazen Companies. Under the bewitchment of Tree Hugging Environmental Aestheticists (THEA), ChazenÕ s proposals would impose environmental constraints on private property use and development.

The problem for the Town Council is that these constraints would be a form of inverse condemnation that deprives the owner of the propertyÕ s value, utility or marketability, thereby denying the owner the benefits of private property ownership and thus accomplishing by regulation a constitutionally forbidden de facto taking without compensation. For the Town Council, the problem is a double-edged, THEA sword.

The sword’s smooth, keen upper edge will slice at the assessments of the affected properties, resulting in lower taxable values, and a consequential loss of revenue. For example, within the same tax map, a one and a one-half acre downhill, residential lot has an assessed value of only $1,200, while a similar size uphill, residential property, which is attributed with the benefit a lake view, has an assessed value of $133,000.

Under the pretension of “visual resource” management, including slope and tree cutting constraints or regimens, the Chazen proposed zoning regulations would cause the uphill property to lose the benefit of its lake view, thus diminishing the propertyÕ s taxable value with an attendant loss of revenue to the town. Nor does the problem end there.

The Chazen plans would also establish so-called “Conservation” or cluster subdivision regulations that would likewise impair the value, utility or marketability of private property. The goal here, in the words of a THEA puppeteer, is to take private property to create open space “that can be cohesively managed for agricultural, forestry, recreation, watershed, wildlife habit [sic] or other natural resource-based uses.” (Adirondack, Vol. LXXIX, No. 2, p. 11, March-April 2015). In short, the cluster subdivision regulations would take a not insubstantial portion of developable, private property and condemn it for public benefit.

It is then, in both of these inverse condemnation situations, that the razor sharp, serrated edge of the THEA sword saws into the townÕ s coffers, as the property owners demand compensation for the taking of the value, utility and marketability of their properties. Nor will the town be able to simply toss out fair, just and reasonable compensation, and expect the property owners to go on their merry way. This kind of unconstitutional activity entitles the property owners to their day in court, and the town will not be able to sheath its sword until its treasure has been well-nigh exhausted in legal fees in addition to the judicially awarded compensation.

And so, the wringing of the gnarly hands. Chazen has proposed an attractive plan for the environmentally conscious members of the town council. Its allure is hypnotic, leaving some town council members Gollum like in their cravings. But, GollumÕ s ring was not good for Middle Earth, and the zoning regulations proposed in the Chazen Comprehensive Plan are not good for the Town of Lake George. Where’s Frodo when you need him?

Schools provide services To the News Enterprise: In your editorial of March 3, you chose to question if our local school districts are doing enough for their communities. I would have enjoyed your editorial more if you had researched and highlighted the many opportunities our local school districts and their employees provide for our communities.

Perhaps I misunderstood your intent when you said, “… it is time that school officials recognize that these buildings can be more than just places we educate our children.” “Just” seems a little dismissive when referring to the facilities where our children spend twelve years of their lives and receive the foundation of information and training that will take them to adulthood.

My real concern is that with a single phone call, or visit to the ElizabethtownÐ Lewis Central School website or those of any of the neighboring school districts, you could have obtain information regarding a number of activities that were open to the public: musicals, athletic competitions, academic presentations, and club and community events, including, but not limited to, scout meetings, walking clubs, 5K and 10K run registrations, and more. More importantly, you could have obtained a building use form, and applied to sponsor an event that would provide the community enrichment that was suggested in your editorial. Building use information and applications are readily available from all area school districts.

Another suggestion that you made was that school districts should consider budgeting for services and employees to support community based events. Community events and activities are supported by their local school districts with in-kind services whenever possible; bus transportation for

Thurman events

Now is the time to prepare items to sell at the annual Thurman Garage Sale! Signups will be held at Thurman Town Hall, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, April 30 to May 2 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. A donation of three dollars is appreciated as funds go to the publicity and advertising of this fun event.

Thurman gatherings

summer youth programs, custodial support for meetings and events, etc.

But, each school district has a budget and carefully balances their fuel costs, turning the heat down at night and during vacation periods, and carefully monitoring their custodial and maintenance costs, as well as covering the costs of their mandated responsibility Ð public education. NYS law regulates how tax payer financed public institutions may use their funds and facilities, and I am sure that you didnÕ t mean to encourage our local districts to violate our trust.

I hope that your editorial was intended as a journalistic “seed” to encourage all of us to make the most of our investments as tax payers in utilizing our school facilities to the best advantage, and I look forward to the next Valley News press release highlighting a Denton Publications sponsored concert, fundraiser, spelling bee, scrabble tournament, memoir writing club, etc.

Journalism and tiny town To the Adirondack Journal: What a fantastic front page. IÕ m sorry you left off the photo credit as it, to me, embodied the rewards of sport, not just the pride of winning, but all those boys glowing with health and joy. Jill Lobdell’s action shots inside, coupled with Keith LobdellÕ s superbly-written story, made me feel as though I could imagine the whole scene and thrill to that final shot.

Bravo to both of them and to the players and coaches who made their tiny town triumphant.

As to the “Dirty Laundry” editorial, am I the only one around who recalls that when the Bed Tax was originally proposed, the plan was to use the funds raised to have tourists contribute to servicing INFRASTRUCTURE costs such as sewer and water and roads and police? I was astonished at the wisdom of such a plan. Then not surprised that, to overcome opposition and get the thing passed, the tax was “repurposed” and devoted 100 percent to merely adding to the number of tourists.

So, residents continue to pick up the infrastructure tab for the tourists.

Perhaps if there are enough residents doing rentals to make forcing them to collect a bed tax worthwhile, it would be fair and prudent if those monies were given to municipalities to handle the expenses associated with tourists?

But the main point of this letter is a huge thanks to Keith Lobdell and Jill Lobdell. What journalism!

‘Dirty Laundry’ in neighboring county To the Adirondack Journal: Re your opinion regarding Essex County’s “Dirty Laundry”, be aware that the same type of “Laundry” is being washed in your neighboring County of Warren.

This does not have to continue!

The State Office of Real Property Tax Services (“ORPS”) has equipped every Town Assessor with an assessment tool known as the Property Classification Code No 283-Residential with incidental commercial use.

Local Assessors have the duty to fit each taxable unit into one of several categories which best defines the property’s actual use regardless of its permitted use.

Proper assessment classification of short-term vacation rentals will go a long way toward leveling the playing field for not only Occupancy Tax but all forms of tax-Income Tax, insurance, regulation and code compliance.

My fat thumbs and wardrobe malfunctions

M

y friends and family know me well. My faults are hard to hide.

Those who read my posts are aware of my fat fingers. I could never do texting. My thumbs cover half the letters. Couple that with my mind going faster than my digits and you have funny stuff prior to spell check.

IÕ m writing this while sitting in a Florida condo. We came here to attend the college graduation of our granddaughter Kayla Cove who earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Muby Gordie Little sic Business from Full Sail University. We were impressed with the school and her work ethic. Now, it’s into the big, wide world with her effort to land a job.

I made it through the ceremony without a wardrobe malfunction. That is not always a foregone conclusion. For the past 41 years, I have had to stand at attention before Kaye each day while she scans my attempts at dressing. DonÕ t laugh. IÕ m somewhat pathetic in that respect. Shirt collars folded improperly; ties askew; labels on the outside; socks with holes and the list goes on. She is my first sergeant and makes sure the shirt is tucked in.

She did that with mostly good humor every work day when I on the radio. Yes, I wore a white shirt and tie without fail in an effort to make a good appearance for those who might wander into the station. It also helped my onthe-air attitude. In addition, I made numerous personal appearances in those days, unlike most radio personalities in this day and age. I never made an effort to take credit for my appearance. Kaye always set my daily wardrobe from socks to underwear to matched trousers and sports jacket and tie. Bless her little peapicking heart. Even if I head outside to feed the birds, she looks me all over and chuckles at the way zippers are unzipped and socks are mismatched.

Little faux pas. ThatÕ s what I call them.

Thank God I have a few redeeming traits. All this talk brings me to a recent function I attended. It was a special meeting of regional Kiwanis clubs, celebrating their 100th anniversary this year. I was asked to make a speech about parts of that wonderful history.

I was loaded for bear. Kaye had me dressed like a dude. I reached into the closet and retrieved my best black shoes, shining them like a mirror. She set out my special, reversible belt and I slid it through all the right loops.

My tie matched and had the perfect doubleWindsor knot. Kaye said she was proud and I believed her.

I noticed that my shoes felt funny when I left. They felt even funnier when I got out of the car. As I greeted my friends and sat down, it seemed as though I had stepped in a huge mud hole and it was caked on my soles and heels. The more I rubbed my feet together under the table, the bigger the black chunks falling to the floor. I was further embarrassed when the man seated next to me, left and soon returned with a giant dust pan and broom. Heads turned at the ungodly mess. He asked a simple question: “How old are those shoes?Ó As it turned out, they had been in the closet for many years and had deteriorated completely. When all was said and done, I had no heels or soles left to walk on.

As I stood up in preparation to speak, the lovely reversible belt came apart and my slick pants drooped. I tried not to be obvious as I rolled it up and stuffed the broken parts into my brief case.

Is that the end of it? Nope. As I turned to move between tables to begin my talk, a woman said, “What was that? Did you lose this?Ó She handed me the shiny button off my jacked that had popped off and nearly took her eye out. I put it into my pocket while the audience undoubtedly took bets on when my pants would hit the floor.

The rest of the event went as planned, complete with polite applause and I was thrilled to leave the place without my dentures flying into somebody’s pork chops.

Little faux pas indeed. I guess you have to take me as I am.

Rachael Ray captivates crowd at Lake George appearance

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ Clutching a classic copy of Rachael Ray’s 30-Minute Meals cookbook, Crystal Eckert of Clifton Park stood at the entrance of Lake George High School auditorium April 2 amongst several dozen other fans of the celebrity chef and television talk show host.

About 45 minutes before the show was to begin, Eckert said she was aiming to get a seat near the front, as well as get RachaelÕ s to scrawl her signature beside the Eckert family’s favorite recipe from the book, Honey-Lime Chicken Salad.

“I might invite her to dinner,” Eckert said with a smile.Eckert’s mother-in-law Carol offered her thoughts.

“I love to watch Rachael’s show,” she said.

“It’s like she’s your friend from next door.”

Nearby, Nadine OÕ Donnell of Ravena NY held two shrink-wrapped Rachael Ray frying pans. O’Donnell said she was going to ask Ray after the show to sign both of them so she could hang them on her kitchen wall in a permanent display.

“Rachael is so happy and bubbly — It’s refreshing,” she said. “There aren’t enough happy people in the world.Ó RayÕ s hour-plus presentation, her 13th annual show for her alma mater — Lake George High School Ñ lived up to expectations.

Charming her audience, Rachael combined cooking tips with insights into celebrity life, memories of her youthful years spent locally, philosophical musings, and talk about her charitable endeavors. The show is held yearly to raise money on behalf of the school alumni association for scholarships as well as computers, equipment and other school enhancements.

Starting off the presentation, she praised the Lake George High Boys Basketball team for winning a state championship, and pointed out that her long-time assistant chef Andrew Kaplan, was wearing a Lake George Warriors T-shirt.

“It’s like the movie Hoosier,” she gushed, noting how small the school was, yet how big its achievements were.

Ray answered questions from the audience, several of which were inquiries about the fa-

Celebrity cook and talk-show host Rachael Ray reacts with glee when presented with a wooden wagon full of flowers at her annual show held April 2 at Lake George High School, her alma mater. Tom Roach, Class of 1959, (center) presented her with the gift, which Rachael said would decorate the yard of her Lake Luzerne home. Roach is president of the Lake George Alumni Association, which receives revenue from the annual show for school equipment and scholarships. Rachael Ray donates her talents, her staff’s time and supplies for the annual event.

mous people she had interviewed on her shows.

Ray, however, downplayed such facets of her fame.

“I’m a very lucky girl,” she said. “But my quality of life comes from understanding you donÕ t have to be rich to live a rich life.Ó She often talked of her initiatives to boost family nutrition, fight childhood obesity, and encourage healthy habits.

During the show, the audience learned her longstanding dislike for mayonnaise, and how her favorite show guest was Michelle Obama Ñ Ray said she appreciated that the First Lady treated children with the same respect as grownups, an empowering approach Rachael said her parents espoused when she was a child.

“I learned I could be anything in my life I could imagine,Ó Ray said.

She talked of how sales of her new premium cat food, along with her established dog food brand, have helped fund pet rescue shelters, to the tune of $6.5 million so far.

Show Emcee Gloria Gilman noted that Rachael had raised $170,940 for the school, includ-

ing $94,200 in scholarships.

Ray said that she enjoyed holding the annual shows in Lake George because they provided vital support for the school system.

“It’s fun for me to come here and see the extra computers,Ó she said, lamenting that schools across the nation were cutting vital programs including the arts, music and home economics, to meet budget restrictions. “I like to give back to the place that made me who I am.Ó As Ray cooked up her versions of Beef Stroganoff and Turkey-Chili Tacos onstage, Deric Buck of Bogey’s Pub & Grill was in the school kitchen, preparing the entrees for the audience to savor after the show.

Buck stepped out of the kitchen and watched Ray joke as she stirred a concoction in a frying pan.

“I feel honored to be asked to cook for this show year after year,” he said. “She’s a huge success, yet she comes back here to present this show Ñ it says a lot about her.Ó Buck’s menu items were augmented by about 500 lemon cupcakes provided by Carl “Buster”

and Debbie Alberino of Lake George Baking Co. Joq Quintal of Oscar’s Smoke House was invited to the stage, as Rachael talked about how she loved OscarÕ s meats and cheeses. Quintal talked about how a segment of a Rachel Ray television show had been filmed at his Warrensburg store in 2013. He said the day it aired, he had over one million hits on his website within the next 24 hours. This unprecedented number of Rachael Ray fans attempting to learn about and order OscarÕ s products crashed his website, but it was upgraded soon after, resulting in $80,000 in sales from the episode, Quintal said.

Former Lake George High School Principal Dave Eagle, a guidance counselor when Rachael Ray was a student at Lake George High, presented Ray with a specialized cutting board he handcrafted.

Kevin Kelly and his partner Alyssa of Glens Falls, seated in the front row, were introduced to the audience. They had been among five couples who volunteered to become engaged on the show in September.

George Kelly, KevinÕ s father, said Rachael Ray had changed his wife’s cooking.

“Before my wife started watching Rachael’s show, she used to boil white rice and slap some chicken on it,” he said. “Now she’s using spices — the changes in her cooking were like night and day.Ó Among those invited to the stage was Molli Perkins, 7, of Queensbury, who had earlier this year written a report about Rachael Ray as a second-grade assignment.

The report, illustrated with MolliÕ s drawings, detailed RachaelÕ s endeavors her show and how the childÕ s family enjoyed RayÕ s recipes.

When the youngster presented her a copy of the six-page report, Rachael Ray hugged the child and responded with apparent heartfelt emotion to the childÕ s enthusiasm.

Standing in a line of about 100 people Ñ waiting after the show to get RachaelÕ s signature on a cookbook — Molli’s mother Traci Perkins said her husband Jeremy bought tickets for her and Molli so they could meet Rachael in person.

“Rachael is so sweet, you’d never believe sheÕ s a celebrity,Ó she said moments before Ray signed “Molli Rules, Love, Rachel” in the child’s new cookbook.

United teachers union: State’s education reforms ‘a sham’ For Cuomo, the state’s education re-

“I’m pretty much disgusted by the whole thing,” said Denise Sypek, a Keeseville Elementary teacher who serves as the treasurer for the Ausable Valley Teachers Association.

She learned of the billÕ s passage while vacationing in Florida.

Her colleagues, half-jokingly, asked her to keep her eyes peeled for teaching opportunities in the Sunshine State.

“They’re fearful of their jobs,” she said. “They’re saying they wish they hadnÕ t become teachers. We feel terrible, victimized and sick to our stomachs — people are losing faith in the career they chose.Ó The tenure reforms will take away due process, she said, while the testing may torpedo teachersÕ hope for earning an effective rating.

She also expressed concerns that independent evaluators were another unfunded mandate: How much would it cost for a district to bring them in? And canÕ t local administrators be trusted to evaluate their staff?

Administrators worked really hard to be where they are, said Sypek, and their judgement should be trusted.

“It’s not perfect,” she said. “But if boards trusted to hire them, canÕ t they be trusted to rate fairly?Ó

forms are transformative. But for one powerful union, they’re a disgrace

pete@denpubs.com ALBANY Ñ The stateÕ s public education system saw the most significant changes in years last week when the legislature passed reforms that will reshape the field across the board, from tenure to testing.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo made a $1.3 billion boost in school aid contingent on legislative approval of reforming the teacher evaluation and tenure process.

His reasoning was simple: Despite the state spending more than any other state on a per pupil basis, 25 percent of its schools containing some 250,000 students are failing.

But since 99 percent of the stateÕ s teachers have been rated effective, change was needed.

In an interview with the Capitol Pressroom last week following passage of the bill, Cuomo acknowledged the reforms would be divisive.

“Change is constant in the private sector,” he said. “The government is opposite, they like the status quo.”

Total overhaul

Under the new reforms, teachers will be graded on a four-point system that will lean more heavily on student test scores Ñ chiefly the Common Core and the Regents Ñ and observations from independent evaluators, or outsiders brought in to rate their performance.

The road to tenure will be extended another year and it will become easier to terminate underperforming teachers.

Failing schools can be placed under different management called receiverships.

And to step up recruitment and retention, teachers receiving the top ranking of “highly effective” will be eligible for a $20,000 annual bonus.

All teachers will be required to complete 100 hours of continuing education and recertify every five years or risk losing their licenses.

More details will emerge after June 1, the deadline for the State Education Department to submit a report to the governor’s office, while local districts must put evaluations in place by Nov. 15 in order to be eligible for increased aid.

‘A sham’

The New York State United Teachers union spent the winter criss-crossing the state protesting the reforms, often using fiery rhetoric at rallies that likened the changes to an apocalyptic battle between light and darkness.

The news that the Education, Labor & Family Assistance passed the state assembly 92-54 hit the teaching community like a plutonium-tipped warhead.

“We had hoped the linkage of a state aid increase to [Annual Professional Performance Review] was simply a bad April FoolÕ s joke,” said Timothy G. Kremer, Executive Director of the New York State School Boards Association, in a statement.

Assemblywoman Janet Duprey (R,I - Peru), who voted against the legislation, said it was “unacceptable” to link teacher evaluations to test scores.

“One particular standardized test isn’t a reflection of what a student is capable of,” she said. “I just don’t think you should link the two.Ó

Common problems The legislature passed sweeping reforms to the state’s public education system last week that will alter everything from tenure to teacher evaluations. NYSUT is displeased and are now encouraging parents to pull their kids from next week’s Common Core testing.

Dan Stec (R,C,I-Queensbury) also blasted the bill.

“It is wrong to appoint the bureaucrats responsible for the botched implementation of Common Core as the leaders for implementing teacher evaluations,Ó he said in a statement.

The education component of the budget also alienates teachers, doubles down on Common Core and fails to fully restore the Gap Elimination Adjustment, he said.

And NYSUT flatly rejected the reforms, calling them a “disgrace” and “a sham.”

The legislation, said the group, sprung from “a vengeful governorÓ refusing to engage in honest dialogue about the quality of the public school system or how to improve teaching and learning.

“People in battle talk about the fog of war,” said Don Carlisto, co-president of the Saranac Lake Teachers Association and NYSUT board member. “In the last hours, it was similar to that.”

While Cuomo called the reforms “transformational,” Carlisto said theyÕ re convoluted, undermine local control and will do nothing to mitigate the increasing numbers of student testing.

The numbers underpinning CuomoÕ s claims of failure, said Carlisto, were cherry-picked to drive a narrative based on manipulated data; the testing, snapshots that were never intended to judge performance.

And most states are moving in the opposite direction of using student test scores for the purpose of teacher evaluation, he said.

“This governor has doubled down.”

Carlisto added that NYSUT was not invited to participate in the negotiation process, but the reforms were rather influenced by hedge fund money.

He said Cuomo has refused to consider the educational research, listen to educational professionals or acknowledge the concerns of parents who are upset over what they perceive as overtesting.

“The governor has been dishonest from the very onset,” he said.

Demoralized

The reforms will also make it harder for school districts to attract and retain teachers, say educators.

They say theyÕ re tired of being unfairly targeted as a punching bag for the governor.

The fury surrounding linking teacher evaluations to test scores, in part, is based on the premise that the Common Core Standards, the device used to gauge student performance for third- through eighth-graders, have been hastily rolled out.

Calisto said the tests have rushed through despite schools saying theyÕ re is not enough time to implement them.

They are written above grade level and do not take into account students with special needs.

“There are countless concerns from not just teachers, but superintendents, principals and parents,Ó he said.

If educators were given space to implement the standards, and had time to do it the right way, Carlisto said small pockets of success stories would be revealed.

“When rushed and under resourced, we find that it’s much less successful,Ó he said.

Carlisto said NYSUT has been working on a series of “common senseÓ charges to the APPR system for the past half-decade based on practitioner input.

A better solution would be to support an evaluation system that de-emphasizes testing in favor of teacher development and growth.

The percentage of the student performance components of the evaluation process should be decreased to 20 percent Ñ with districts determining the make-up of that 20 percent in accordance with federal requirements Ñ while the percentage of the teaching practice component should be bumped to 80 percent, he said.

NYSUT has also blasted the reforms for stripping away local control.

The evaluation plans should instead be developed through collective bargaining, a measure they say would reflect the needs of the community, while districts and locals should be given the power to negotiate teacher evaluations to customize professional learning and replace the one-size-fits-all approach.

Parents and students should also be given more input, Carlisto said.

Opting out

Students statewide are scheduled to begin Common Core testing on April 14.

Last year, 50,000 students sat out the tests statewide.

Last week, NYSUT president Karen McGee urged parents to yank their kids.

How to protect your car’s resale value

F

ew drivers start thinking about resale value when driving a new car off of the dealership lot for the first time. Still enamored with that new car smell, drivers can be excused for not thinking of resale value as they put the pedal to the metal and speed off in their brand new ride.

But itÕ s never too early to start protecting a vehicleÕ s resale value, especially if you hope to recoup as much of your vehicle investment as possible when the time comes to sell your car or trade it in for a newer model. The following are some ways motorists can protect the resale value of their vehicles from the moment the dealer tosses them the keys.

• Keep all maintenance records. New cars typically do not require much maintenance.

But drivers should keep records of all work and maintenance done on their vehicles, even if that work does not extend beyond routine tuneups or oil changes. Keeping maintenance records shows prospective buyers you prioritized taking care of the vehicle over the years, and that makes the car or truck more attractive to preowned vehicle buyers who want to avoid buying a lemon or a car that has not been taken care of.

• Don’t overlook looks. Looks can be deceiving, but new car buyers who eventually plan to sell their vehicles should do all they can to keep the car looking as new as it did the day it was first driven off the dealership lot. Much like homeowners benefit when selling a home with curb appeal, a car that looks good gives buyers the impression that it was well taken care of. But a dirty car or one with lots of dings and dents is a red flag to preowned car buyers.

• Keep a clean interior. New car owners typically maintain some strict rules with regard to food and beverages in their vehicles. After all, no one wants their brand new car to succumb to stains or spills. But the longer drivers have a car the more lax they tend to become with regard to allowing food and drinks into their cars, and that can ultimately hurt the resale value of the vehicle. Maintain a clean interior whether you just bought the car or have driven it for a few years.

Much like an impressive exterior leaves a lasting impression, a clean interior that has not succumb to coffee stains or muddy boots is more likely to impress buyers than a car with an interior that has seen better, cleaner days.

• Drive defensively. It’s not just what you do

to a car but how you drive the car that can affect its resale value. Driving defensively reduces your risk of accident, and an accident-free preowned vehicle is a top priority for potential buyers. But driving defensively also reduces wear and tear on your vehicle, as over time constant stop-and-go, aggressive driving takes its toll on vehicle engines and other components.

• Periodically examine the vehicle history report. Today’s preowned car buyers know to ask for a vehicle history report before buying a car.

If your vehicle history report contains any suspicious or inaccurate information, you may be forced to sell the car for less than itÕ s worth or delay selling until you can have any issues corrected. That wonÕ t necessarily happen overnight, but you can avoid dealing with a host of issues all at once by periodically examining the vehicle history report. Any discrepancies on the report can be brought to the attention of your insurance company, who can then work with you to correct the issues and restore your vehicleÕ s reputation.

Resale value may not be foremost on the minds of new car owners, but the earlier buyers begin to factor resale value into their car-care routines, the more they will benefit down the road.

Warning signs your tire is about to flatten out F

ew drivers will be fortunate enough to go their entire driving lives without encountering at least one flat tire. Flat tires range from the inconvenient flats, which may interrupt a road trip or make drivers late for work or an appointment, to more dangerous blowouts, which can compromise the safety of drivers, their passengers and anyone else on the road when the tire gives out.

But as inconvenient or dangerous as flats or blowouts can be, they also can be prevented more often than not. Tires often produce warning signs that a flat or blowout is about to emerge, so drivers who want to avoid such unfortunate developments can inspect their tires for the following signs.

Varying wear

Tires should exhibit the same type of wear. The wear on front tires and back tires may differ, but one front tire should have the same amount of wear as the other and the same goes for the back tires. Uneven tread on tires indicates that the tire with more wear could be about to go out.

Worn tread

Even drivers who know little about cars can typically recognize when tire tread has worn down to the point where the tire is a safety risk. But drivers who are unsure can employ the quarter test.

Insert a quarter into the tread of the tire, with George WashingtonÕ s head upright.

If you can see the hairline of the United States’ first president, then you need to

replace the tire. Perform this test on each of your vehicleÕ s four tires.

Low pressure

Drivers who do not routinely check their tire pressure are more likely to endure a flat or blowout than those who regularly make sure their tires are at the manufacturer-recommended pressure, which can be found in a vehicle ownerÕ s manual or by calling the tire manufacturer or visiting their website. An underinflated tire is under stress that can cause the tire to blowout. In addition, poorly inflated tires force engines to work harder, which negatively affects a carÕ s fuel efficiency.

Vibration

A car that vibrates excessively may

do so because tires are damaged. Poor suspension is another cause of excessive vibration. Whatever is behind a car that is vibrating, drivers should immediately take the car to their mechanic for an inspection.

Physical damage to the tire

Sometimes tires exhibit physical damage like bulges or cuts, and such signs could mean a flat tire or blowout is just around the corner. Tires that exhibit such physical damage need to be replaced immediately.

Flat tires and blowouts can prove both scary and inconvenient. Drivers who want to avoid such problems should routinely inspect their tires for indicators that a flat or blowout is likely to occur.

The right car seat makes for a safer ride for children N

o matter what is stored in the trunk, a driver's most precious cargo is his or her passengers. Never is that more apparent than when children are on board.

Finding the right car seat can be challenging. When used correctly, such seats can reduce the risk of death by as much as 71 percent, according the Safe Kids Worldwide organization.

Whether you are buying a car seat for the first time or upgrading an existing seat as your child grows, being informed can help with the decision-making process.

Access professional reviews

A number of organizations rate available car seats on the market. Consumer Reports and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety are just two of the groups that provide ratings that can take the guesswork out of selecting the best car seats. Regulations change frequently, and car seat engineers continually modify designs to keep kids as safe as possible. Frequently revisit car seat reviews to check whether your seat is still receiving high marks or if it's time to invest in a new car seat.

Rear-facing, longer

Many experts now advise keeping children in rear-facing car seats as long as possible - even up to age two. These seats are being manufacturered to meet higher weight limits in the rear-facing position. However, always verify the exact height and weight limit for the seat by reading the information booklet or the safety data that is printed directly on the seat.

In addition, know how to safely use the seat, including which tethers should be used in which seating positions. Children should sit in the back of the vehicle away from airbags.

Learn proper installation

Consumer Reports notes that about 80 percent of parents and caregivers misuse car seats in one way or another. Follow the directions for safe seat placement and positioning of tethers and safety belts. You can watch videos online on how to install safety seats properly, and many seat brands may direct you to an informational

video. Some First Aid and police squads offer complimentary seat checks to reassure parents that seats are installed correctly.

Older children in booster seats, which are designed to position passengers correctly to make use of the vehicle's seat belts, should have a proper fit. The lap belt should lie flat and on top of the thighs. The shoulder belt should rest directly in the middle of the shoulder and not too close to the neck.

Know the types of seats

Children may go through three or more safety

seats before they're allowed to safely ride using the vehicle's own passenger restraint system. In addition to infant car seats, manufacturers offer convertible seats, harnessed seats, belt-positioning booster seats, and built-in safety seats.

Many children are ready to bid farewell to car seats when they reach about 4-feet-9-inches tall.

Avoid used seats

Unless you can verify the full crash history of a car seat, it is best to buy it new rather than from a thrift store or on the Internet from a third party. Although car seats do not "expire"

in the traditional sense, they are stamped with a use-by date. Materials in car seats can degrade over time, and harnesses may stretch. It's wise to replace car seats after several years and treat a new baby in the family to his or her own car seat instead of using a hand-me-down.

Car seats can prevent injuries and death.

They're one of the best safety investments parents can make, as long as they're researched and used properly.

ABOVE: Do the research and learn which car seats are the best options for transporting children.

Simple ways to save at the pump this summer T

he cost of fuel dipped in 2014, but drivers are still looking for ways to spend less at the pump. For many drivers, that means driving less. Driving less will save money, and doing so also reduces fuel consumption and contributes to fewer emissions entering the air, both of which can benefit the environment.

But many drivers are unable to drive less, as commitments to work and family require them to get behind the wheel more often than they might prefer. Such drivers may be looking for ways to reduce their fuel costs, and fortunately there are several ways to do just that.

Reconsider your choice of fuel

Many of todayÕ s auto manufacturers now design their vehicles so they can run smoothly on regular unleaded gas, which is typically listed as “87 octane” at filling stations. That’s important to know, as regular gas is often considerably less expensive than alternatives that are higher octanes. Many drivers may even choose regular unleaded, but opt for premium gas every third or fourth trip, feeling that the higher octane fuel every so often will increase performance of older engines. But many engines are designed to run smoothly and efficient on low-octane fuel, meaning it’s unnecessary to choose premium gas, even if you only do so once in a blue moon. Read your vehicleÕ s ownerÕ s manual to determine the best fuel for your car.

Buy when the time is right

Prices at filling stations fluctuate on a daily basis, so unless your car is running on empty, avoid filling up when the prices seem especially high.

Some patience may pay off with several dollars in savings, and those savings can add up to a significant amount of money over time.

Become a less aggressive driver

Drivers with hectic schedules tend to be more aggressive when behind the wheel. But driving aggressively is unsafe and potentially costly. When driven at speeds that exceed 55 miles per hour, vehicles lose fuel economy.

According to the California Energy CommissionÕ s Consumer Energy Center, driving 55 miles per hour instead of 75 miles per hour can reduce fuel costs by as much as 75 percent.

Remove unnecessary weight

A car trunk might seem like a great place to keep your golf clubs, and it may be tempting to leave that roof rack on top of your car after a recent camping trip, but such unnecessary cargo in or on your car makes it harder for the car to get from point A to point B. That forces the car to consume more fuel. Unless your immediate plans include hitting the links or hunkering down at a nearby campsite, remove unnecessary weight from the car so your next trip to the gas station is less expensive.

The cost of fuel can make trips to the filling station into costly excursions.

But drivers willing to reconsider conventional wisdom and change their driving habits can save substantial amounts of money over time.

Don’t forget headlights when performing routine maintenance

V

eteran and even novice drivers understand the importance of visibility when they get behind the wheel of their vehicles. When visibility is not an issue, drivers can more easily see their fellow motorists and better anticipate potentially dangerous situations. But when visibility is compromised, drivers and their passengers are vulnerable to a host of dangers, including inclement weather and aggressive motorists.

Many things can affect driversÕ visibility on the road, but those who take a proactive approach to improving their visibility can put themselves in a better position to handle any negative situations that may arise. One of the ways to do just that is to pay more attention to your headlights. Often overlooked when performing routine vehicle maintenance, headlights must be maintained to ensure optimal visibility for drivers.

The following are a few ways drivers can improve the performance of their headlights to make their vehicles safer for themselves and their passengers.

Pay attention to the headlights’ output

Perhaps the most noticeable indicator of an aging headlight is its light output. As bulbs start to dim, drivers may find themselves struggling to see during twilight and at night. That difficulty is not necessarily because drivers’ own vision is failing, but may be a result of aging bulbs whose light output is gradually reduced by the effects of humidity, electrical resistance and filament fatigue. Drivers who notice their headlights are not producing as much light as they once did should know that reduced output is a telltale sign of aging bulbs that need to be replaced.

Say “so long” to the status quo

Recognizing dimming bulbs is just the first step toward improving the performance of your headlights. The next step is for drivers to recognize that all headlight bulbs are not created equal. Instead of replacing existing bulbs with the same type of bulbs provided by their vehicleÕ s manufacturer, drivers can vastly improve

their visibility by upgrading to a bulb designed to provide more light than the standard halogen bulbs found in many of todayÕ s vehicles. Leading automotive lighting manufacturer Philips produces a range of Upgrade Headlight Bulbs that offer up to 100 percent more light on the road than standard halogen bulbs. ThatÕ s a significant benefit to drivers, as motorists’ visual acuity is reduced by 70 percent at night, when statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicate 49 percent of all fatal accidents occur. The NHTSA also notes that the fatality rate per mile driven at night is roughly three timesas high as it is during daylight hours.

Find the right fit

The right headlight bulb can dramatically improve visibility when driving at night, but whatÕ s good for the goose is not always good

for the gander. ThatÕ s because motorists drive for various reasons and on various roads, so the right bulb for seniors who don’t often take to the highways will not necessarily be the best fit for commuters who routinely drive long distances.

Philips makes a headlight bulb for every type of driver, and each Upgrade Headlight Bulb creates a better beam pattern that is dramatically longer than that provided by standard halogen lights, ensuring drivers can safely see no matter how accustomed they are to driving at night.

Let there be light

Regardless of how effective a bulb has the potential to be, drivers who donÕ t routinely clean their headlights will continue to have their visibility compromised. Certain preventative measures can help drivers address headlight issues before they appear, ensuring their visibility is not compromised. When checking your oil in

the driveway or even when you’re filling up at the gas station, take a few moments to inspect your headlights and address any issues that arise as soon as possible. The Philips Headlight Restoration Kit includes a post-treatment that provides long-lasting UV protection for headlight lenses. The kit also includes a cleaner/ polish and restorer/protector so drivers can restore their headlight lenses to “like new” quality while increasing visibility and reducing glare in as little as 30 minutes. Such quick and simple maintenance can ensure your headlights are performing optimally.

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden Fifty Years Ago – April, 1965 Heroic young airman dies

Air Force Captain Gordon Douglas Smith, 31, husband of the former Elizabeth S. Menshausen and son of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon L. Smith of 196 Main Street, all of Warrensburg, was killed at a North Carolina air force base, April 7, 1965, when his jet fighter crashed on a practice bombing mission.

The bodies of Capt. Smith at Seymour Air Base in Goldsboro, North Carolina and his co-pilot, Mayor John W. Hyson, were recovered northeast of the base in a coastal area. Their F105 Thunderchief, a two-seat jet fighter, went down in the area used as a bombing range.

Captain Smith entered the air force in 1952. His widow and their two small children, Mark D. Smith, 7, and Scott M. Smith, 4, live in Goldsboro near the base.

Funeral services for Captain Gordon L. Smith were conducted at the Orton and McCloskey Funeral Home, in Warrensburg, with the Rev. Richard Chatterton, pastor of the First Methodist Church, officiating. Burial was in the Warrensburg Cemetery.

Chamber’s plan on hold

The plan of the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce to build a town ski tow on Hackensack Mountain, overlooking Warrensburg, has proved unpractical and has been put on hold. The suitable trails, if developed, are on private rather than town land.

Harry Demarest, president of the Warrensburg Ski Club, says that plans for a town ski tow have not been entirely abandoned but will continue to be explored. Supervisor Charles Hastings and the town board are to be commended for their determination to develop the 65 acre town property on Hackensack.

Riley seeks election in primary

James J. Riley, Republican, local attorney and a former member of the Warrenbsburg Town Board, has announced that he will enter the coming primary election as a candidate for the office of town councilman.

Following the war, Mr. Riley attended Albany Law School under the GI Bill of Rights and graduated in 1949. After being associated with other attorneys in Warrensburg, he opened his own office for the practice of law in 1953.

He was appointed Justice of the Peace in August, 1951 to fill the unexpired term of the late Franklin E. Pasco and served continuously until January, 1960.

Firemen elect officers

At a meeting held Friday evening, April 2, 1965 at the Warrensburg Fire House, C. Walton Stone was re-elected chief of the Warrensburg Volunteer Fire department. Assistant Chief is Gerald Combs. Also elected was First Captain George W. Sprague Jr., Second Captain James Gallup, Chief Pumper man Murray Pratt, Secretary Treasurer Ronald Dorrance, Captain of the Fire Police, Calvin C. Engle.

Perennial plant sale slated

LAKE GEORGE — The Lake George Community Garden ClubÕ s annual Perennial Plant Sale will be held Saturday, May 16, in Shepard Park, from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. The sale offers hundreds of high-quality perennial plants grown and dug from memberÕ s zone 4 and 5 gardens. Garden club members will be available to share planting instructions, tips for successful gardening, and other information. Special features of the sale include a tag sale

unconcerned about the tempest raging about him as a result of his one-man campaign to organize public sentiment for humane treatment of laboratory animals. He already has $125 of donations in his fund to help this humane cause.

If you want details, stop by FarrarÕ s Pharmacy for literature.

(Note Ð FarrarÕ s Pharmacy was in the front north corner ground floor of the building that once stood at 43 Main Street, located in the present day New Way Lunch parking lot. Hannah Rosenberg “Young’s five & ten” store was on the front south corner. Dick Potter tore the building down many years ago.)

He says it was tea

Edna Duell, mother of Karl Duell Sr., says that her husband, Byron “Bum” Duell, as a hunter liked nothing better than a day in the woods alone, with extra shells, and four fat molasses cookies in his pocket, also he carried his bottle of tea. (Note – Edna Duell was a writer for the Warrensburg – Lake George News and her son, Karl Duell Sr., was the local Oldsmobile dealer.)

Long and happy life

Mrs. Lucinda Jenks, of Riparius, died Friday, April 25, 1965at Westmount Infirmary, following a long illness. On March 26, 1965 “Aunt Lucy” observed her 102nd birthday at the infirmary.

She was born at Chestertown in 1863 and spent her early years in Horicon. She was the sister of Mrs. John Kipp, of Riparius.

She married Civil War veteran Edmund Jenks, who was an early guide and fisherman in the county. They had two sons, Edmund and Austin Jenks, both now deceased. The family once lived near Loon Lake, then Friends Lake and later Warrensburg.

Burial was in St. CeciliaÕ s Catholic Cemetery, Warrensburg.

Merkel and Gelman store celebrates

Merkel and Gelman, Glens Falls’s “The Store of Cheerful Service,Ó the oldest womenÕ s and childrenÕ s specialty store, is celebrating its 48th anniversary with a storewide sale.

The year 1917, when Merkle and Gelman, then known as Kempner and Merkle opened, was a year of crisis. The United States was on the brink of war and it was the first phase of the Russian Revolution. Since that time the store has had its face lifted four times and deliveries are today made with a gold and white station wagon.

Gamble family store flourishes

Norman Gamble became the proprietor of GambleÕ s Hardware in Pottersville in the fall of 1964, taking over a business established by his father, Harry Gamble, more than thirty years ago.

Norman, who is thirty-five years old graduated from Pottersville High School in 1949 and studied business administration at Albany Business College. After four years in the Navy. He settled down in Pottersville, in 1954, assisting his father in the operation of the hardware store. He is married and the father of four children.

A new feature he has added to Gambles is a plumbing and heating service headed by Richard Enge, formerly employed by Burt Duell of Chestertown and Frank Kellogg of Minerva.

Local news roundabout of good quality, gently-used items and the sale of garden art objects created by talented garden club members. Proceeds from the sale are used to further civic beautification and community service projects.

Each year the Garden Club awards scholarships for high school students pursuing a career in horticulture or ecology, and camperships for youth to attend New York Department of Environmental Conservation’s Camp Colby near Saranac Lake.

The opening night at the new Montcalm Restaurant, in Lake George, was Thursday, April 1, 1965. Gus and Josephine Beckos are the proprietors.
