Bolton water main repaired

This Week GLENS FALLS

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com BOLTON Ñ Residents of Bolton are back to using their municipal water without restrictions, as a boil-water order, issued during recent water line reconstruction, was lifted April 12.

Repairs to the water main line along Finkle Road were more extensive than anticipated, town supervisor Ron Conover said this week.

Rather than replacing a relatively short length of pipe, town employees and workmen of Kingsley Contracting replaced 400 feet of the 12inch water main, as well as dozens of laterals connecting homes with the main along that stretch. The project also included installing a new hydrant midway between two other hydrants along the replaced section.

The cost of the materials alone could be as much as $40,000, Conover said.

During the repairs and the subsequent test processes, residents were advised to boil municipal water before consuming it. Water was kept flowing to households through series of fire hoses attached to fire hydrants on either side of CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

Stefanik visits Finch Paper, calls for more job opportunities

By Ryan Edwards

ryan@denpubs.com GLENS FALLS — Rep. Elise Stefanik donned a reflective vest and a pair of protective glasses on Tuesday, April 7, as she navigated the millÕ s network of humming machinery and the bustle of busy employees.

In a closed meeting with representatives of the company, the congresswoman learned about FinchÕ s modernization and investment efforts before she took off on a guided tour of the mill, stopping along the way to ask questions of her guide, Finch vicepresident Eric Wood.

In a subsequent press conference, the congresswoman explained the purpose of her visit. Ò I decided to visit Finch Paper because it is a big employer in the region,Ó she said.

Finch employs over 600 people, with an economic impact of over $370 million per year.

Stefanik said she had heard concerns from the company about the growing struggle to keep the logging industry intact and its negative effect on the mill.

“It is important for me to hear their concerns first-hand,” she said.

According to Stefanik, the logging industry is in decline because of a lack of qualified employees. Ò If you look at the history of the logging industry,Ó she said, Ò itÕ s been an important part of upstate N.Y.Õ s economic development, and, similarly to whatÕ s happening in the agricultural sector, where farmers are aging out, loggers are aging out too.Ó In response to these concerns, Stefanik aims to partner government and local businesses with community colleges and universities to create programs through which her constituents can begin careers in the industry. Ò We want to make sure young graduates understand that itÕ s an opportunity to build a career,Ó she said.

Stefanik sits on both the committee on workforce and the com-

the broken pipe. This bypass was about 2,000 feet long.

Conover said town employees at first thought they were dealing with one or a few leaks, temporary repairs didnÕ t hold, and they decided to dig up the line. Ò We determined the water main was in jeopardy and serious, major repairs were needed,Ó Conover said. Ò When the leaking pipe was uncovered, the water was flowing out of it with a lot of force. Left alone, large sections of the road could have been washed out.Ó

mittee on education, which affords her what she calls Ò a unique platformÓ from which to address and combat these issues.

The congresswoman also called for an increase of job fairs in the area where interested parties can learn about the benefits of careers in the industry.

Upstate New York has seen a slow but steady decrease in its

population over the last two decades, particularly in young, educated people, which has been detrimental to the regionÕ s economy. Ò We need to keep our graduates here in upstate New York,Ó she said.

The pipe is probably developed leaks because it wasnÕ t buried deep enough, and the frequent freeze-thaw cycles in recent winters caused the ground to heave, rupturing it, Conover said.

Town engineers speculated that vibrations from heavy trucks passing by also prompted the damage, he added.

The leaking water main lay about three and a half feet below ground, but the new one was buried deeper, with a thicker bed of gravel, Conover continued.

April 10, the water main was super-chlorinated and pressure tested. It received another chlorination the next day, followed by purity tests, which met state standards.

Conover praised town employees as well as workers of Kingsley Contracting for anticipat-

ing the severity of the problem, then responding quickly Ñ and working long hours Ñ to conduct the repairs. He also praised Bolton Fire Chief Jeremy Coon and other firefighters for their help in setting up the bypass. Ò It was quite an undertaking, and the project went very, very well,Ó he continued, also praising the work of consulting engineer Tom Suozzo of Delaware Operations.

BoltonÕ s municipal water system serves several hundred homes and businesses, primarily in the Bolton Landing hamlet.

The water district extends north on state Rte. 9 about a mile in the vicinity of Darrin Freshwater Institute, south on the roadway to the Bolton Cemetery and west to the Edgecomb Pond area.

Plans cite slashed benefits, staffing cuts at Westmount

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY Ñ The controversy over the pending sale of Warren CountyÕ s Westmount nursing home erupted again this week, despite petitions opposing the sale to a private firm being deemed insufficient to force a public vote on the issue.

Government watchdog Travis Whitehead, an engineer from Queensbury, released documents that indicated the sale to Centers Health Care would result in slashed employee benefits and deep staffing cuts — which Whitehead and others said might result in less attentive patient care as well as less experienced personnel willing to remain as employees.

County officials questioned the relevance and accuracy of the contents of the document, repeating earlier assertions that the sale of the nursing home was in the best interests of the taxpayers and the home residents.

April 10, Warren County Clerk Joan Sady determined that petitions submitted by citizens calling for a public vote on the saleÕ s procedure were insufficient.

The county residents submitted petitions bearing 1,533 signatures rather than the 1,910 that county officials had said was the number necessary to force a referendum on the sale. Sady said that she relied on county Attorney Martin AffroudouÕ s advice that a number equal to 10 percent of Warren County voters in the last gubernatorial election, or 1,910 votes, were needed for the petition to be sufficient. Opponents of the nursing home sale had cited a petition drive in Tioga County, in which 5 percent was deemed sufficient to force a referendum on a similar procedural issue.

But on Monday, the Westmount sale controversy again erupted, when government watchdog Travis Whitehead released excerpts of an application that Centers Health Care, had filed with the state Health Department in seeking approval of the pending sale and subsequent operation of the nursing home. Whitehead had obtained a copy of the application, more than 700 pages long, through a Freedom of Information Law request filed with the state.

The document submitted to the state by Centers Health Care

Westmount cited their proposed staffing reductions of 20 percent overall, including a decrease of attendants, aides and orderlies from 42.3 Ò full-time equivalentÓ positions to 25.2 FTE positions workers who provided direct care to Westmount residents.

The document also cited the firm’s apparent plans to decrease employees’ benefits from $2.7 million to $1.05 million, a reduction of $1.6 million, or nearly 60 percent. Opponents of the sale cited concerns that the reduced benefits would mean that only less qualified workers — or those with less experience — would be willing to either take on or retain jobs at Westmount after a sale to Centers Health Care.

County officials discounted the concerns, however, noting that the staff cuts wouldn’t be as deep as the figures might appear, because Centers Health Care apparently wasnÕ t using current data.

County Administrator Paul Dusek said that while CentersÕ application stated that there were currently 105.9 full-time employees at Westmount, actually the number was about 10 less, due

partially to vacant positions. Ò We donÕ t know where these numbers actually came from,Ó Dusek said, noting that he had a conversation Monday with a man at Centers Health Care who said he was not prepared to say how and where the figures had been obtained.

Westmount Administrator Lloyd Cote said that his facility was now operating with 95.5 full-time equivalent posts.

Dusek added that the proposed staff cuts shouldnÕ t be raising concern because the “full-time equivalent” classification for the current operation included overtime work as well as part-time, per diem and contract workers. Ò People have to be careful when they read these numbers,Ó he said, adding that Centers had pledged to retain existing employees as much as it could. Ò ItÕ s not as if a certain number of people will be losing their jobs — It’s a fluid situation at the facility.”

He said county leaders believed that the level of care would if anything, be boosted under Centers Health Care ownership.

Addressing the proposed 60 percent cut in benefits, Dusek said that Westmount would be following a trend in nursing home operations, and stay competitive despite the planned reductions.

“County benefits are quite good in relation to the private sector,Ó he said. Ò ThereÕ s nowhere you can go now where this level of benefits are paid.”

Cote said that he had worked as an administrator at Eden Park nursing home during its transition to private ownership, and that the changeover was smooth and the level of care didnÕ t decline.

Dusek said he and other county leaders were anticipating that Centers Health Care would be training Westmount employees to work smarter and boost efficiencies on how work was conducted. Cote predicted that Centers would shift more emphasis to short-term rehabilitation to capitalize on more favorable Medicare reimbursement.

Although thereÕ s been talk about initiating legal action as an attempt to block the sale of the nursing home, Whitehead said he would instead likely attend state Health Department hearings on the proposed transition to Centers Health Care, and raise his concerns there. Whitehead predicted that their application would be reviewed at a public meeting June 11 in New York City.

Upcounty baseball teams launch 2015 season with victories

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ Baseball teams of northern Warren County schools demonstrated their depth of talent this week in early season play against rival Adirondack League squads.

On April 13, Warrensburg upset Hadley-Luzerne Ñ which had been enjoying a 2-0 record — with a flurry of hits, strong base-running and stingy defense. The showdown, resulting in a 15-4 victory for Warrensburg, was a three-hour-plus non-League game against a league opponent.

Burgher Pitcher Jake Nemec, a junior, hurled his intimidating fastball, shutting down the EaglesÕ talented lineup in the top of the first inning. Then in the bottom of the first, Nemec and his teammates scored 5 runs as 11 batters went to the plate. About 110 spectators watched the game, which lasted until 7:30 p.m..

Nemec pitched out of jams in several of the innings en route to a complete game. Hadley-Luzerne managed 9 hits, but the BurghersÕ defense limited their runs in this marathon game. WarrensburgÕ s offense was also hot, as the Burgher players combined for 12 hits.

For the Burghers, Alek Olden, a Senior, went 3 for 4 with two doubles Ñ three runs scored and two RBIs; Sophomore Joe Turner was 3 for 3 with three singles blasted up the middle. Shea Irish was 2 for 4 with two runs scored and an RBI. Jake Nemec tallied two hits and 2 RBIs. Colby Rounds scored three times and his brother Brady Rounds hit a double.

The two teams meet again in a league game April 24 at Hadley-Luzerne High School.

On Tuesday April 14, the Burghers beat Keene of the Mountain & Valley Athletic League 17-4 in yet another lengthy battle.

Starting pitcher Alek Olden, hurling well despite a recent injury, was relieved after four strong innings by Shea Irish, who pitched for two, striking out the side in both the 5th and 6th stanzas with only 23 pitches. Joe Turner finished the 7th inning by shutting down three batters.

Keene started strong, scoring three runs in the first with two off a home run by 3rd baseman Brandon Dumas, who scored two homers for the night. On that first home run, Burgher left fielder Mike Kareglis charged through the fence in an attempt to catch the ball.

But in the bottom of the first, no less than 16 Burger batters answered KeeneÕ s offense, with 11 runs and 5 hits. Shea Irish led the offense, going 3 for 3 and scoring five runs. Both Irish and Olden each hit a double. Four other Burghers had extra-base hits negated by leaping catches by Keene players.

Next up for the Burghers is a contest versus North Warren at East Field in Glens Falls Friday April 17 at 5 p.m.

The Burghers lost their two non-league games this season in a double-header held April 7. The first was a loss to larger Class B Granville 5-4 Ñ although Jake Nemec gave up only four hits; and the second was a three-hitter pitched by Shea Irish against Ticonderoga, which ended up in a 3-2 loss.

Incidentally, the BurghersÕ annual Cooperstown game is scheduled for April 28 at 1:30 p.m. at Doubleday Field.

Bolton prevails in first outing

The Bolton baseball team demonstrated its potential April 14 as they won their season opening game against Hartford, 13-7.

The come-from-behind victory was a non-league contest, although both teams are members of the Adirondack League.

The game featured a strong performance by Josh Curri-Brimhall who tallied 12 strikeouts.

The contest kept Bolton sports fans on edge, as the Eagles trailed 6-3 at the end of five innings. But the Bolton batters turned the tide, garnering eight runs in the sixth stanza.

In the defeat of Hartford, Joe Connery tallied three hits and four runs; Curri-Brimhall had two hits and two RBIs; Corey VanAuken contributed three hits and three RBIs; and Garrison Villeneuve added a double, a single, hit two RBIs and scored three runs.

North Warren tops Fort Edward-Argyle

The North Warren Baseball team proved their depth of talent as they defeated the newly merged Fort Edward-Argyle team 12-8 in a contest held April 14.

The CougarsÕ lead pitcher Chris DeFranco contained the FortsTanagersÕ offense, while he went three-for-four with his batting, which included a home run, three RBIs and a double Ñ which would have been another home run if it was inches higher.

Teammate Stoan Bush tallied three for four with a double and four runs. Ryan Fish hit two doubles in this non-league contest against a fellow Adirondack-League team.

Combs

From page 1 Or so he thought.

When a community member contacted him privately to request tutoring services for her daughter, Combs saw yet another opportunity to use his abilities for the good of the community, and GDCÕ s Tutoring was born. Ò One person, by word of mouth, eventually morphed into two people, and two people to four people,Ó he said. Ò And by the time I started my tutoring business last July, I had probably ten people. As of now, I have 33 students that I have tutored since January 2014.Ó Combs has tutored students from Warrensburg, Lake George, Queensbury, Saint MaryÕ s/Saint AlphonsusÕ and Hudson Falls, averaging 17 sessions a week.

While his primary focus is on mathematics, Combs occasionally tutors students in Spanish, Earth Science and Physics, and is open to tutoring other subjects. Ò In total I have been tutoring about eight years,Ó he said, Ò and loving every minute of it.Ó Since graduating from Lyndon, Combs has acquired an additional liberal arts degree from SUNY Adirondack in math and science, and is currently a graduate student at SUNY Empire, pursuing a masterÕ s degree in teaching for middle and high school math.

He is in the process of applying for teaching positions at area schools for the fall of this year.

“One of the benefits of tutoring, going into teaching, is the ability to teach different styles,Ó he said. Ò In a classroom, you have 20 different students who may learn 20 different ways. To be able to work with those students and adapt to those different styles will be of great benefit to me when I get into a classroom.”

Building confidence

Combs endeavors to help students recognize their value as individuals through his tutoring. This confidence, he said, is key to success.

www.adirondackjournal.com Ò If they get that problem, their sense of self-worth skyrockets,” he said, “because now they have established a confidence in themselves that they can say Ô If I can get that problem after that kind of struggle, I can get any problem.Õ Ò And if they struggle in later content, they can think back to this circumstance and say Ô If I can do it then, I can do it now,Õ Ó he added. Ò And sometimes all a student needs is one of those momentsÑ they just need that little spark.Ó For Combs, however, arriving the correct answer is not necessarily the most important part of a successful session. Ò In some cases, students may not get the content,Ó he said, Ò but they establish something about themselves that in the grand scheme of things may mean more to them than the actual math itself. They may not get the math, but from that issue, they get a sense of self-worth. They say Ô I am better than this problem, and I will eventually get it, come what may.Õ Ó

Trust issues

According to Combs, half the battle of being an effective educator is establishing a level of trust and comfort between himself and his students.

In order for a student to transition from the relative anonymity of the classroom to the intimacy of a one-on-one session, he or she must first develop a trust for Combs as an individual, as well as for his knowledge and ability as an educator.

The other half of the battle, he said, is getting students to trust themselves. Ò Young students are very proud people,Ó Combs said. Ò A lot of students are hesitant about getting a tutor because they feel it is a punishment, or that it means they are stupidÑ which, to make an analogy, is like saying going to the doctor is a bad thing because it makes you less of a human to admit youÕ ve got a fever.

That logic baffles me.”

CombsÕ sessions sometimes overlap, allowing him to tutor groups of two or more students at a time. These small groups can be comforting for students who are still struggling to open up about their academic difficulties. Ò They feel better because they know theyÕ re not alone, he said. Ò Everybody thinks their own problem is just that: their own. But in reality there could be ten kids in a class who donÕ t get the same material.Ó Breaking through these barriers and helping students realize that they their struggles are not unique to them, and that no one is beyond help, is an integral component of the triedand-true Combs method.

Word of mouth

The majority of CombsÕ business comes to his business

Published by Denton Publications, Inc. as referrals from satisfied clients—“a positive feedback loop,” as he calls it.

Accordingly, reviews of his services from students, parents and teachers have been positive.

John Kelly, a freshman at Warrensburg, started seeing Combs this year for extra help with his math, and he has already seen a dramatic shift in his understanding of the content.

“I feel more confident about handing in my school work now,” Kelly said.

Diana Kelly, JohnÕ s mother, said that the one-on-one interaction has played an essential role in the raise she has seen in JohnÕ s math average since he began the tutoring. Ò John is doing well academically, but has always struggled with test taking,Ó she said. Ò Garrett has given him a little extra confidence that he needs to prepare for tests.” Ò We both think heÕ s great,Ó she added. Ò ItÕ s been a totally positive experience all around.Ó Patricia Miller, also of Warrensburg, enlisted CombsÕ services for her son Mikey, who was failing his math class at the end of the first quarter.

Now, at the end of the third quarter, Mikey has an A. Ò IÕ m always recommending Garrett,Ó Miller said. Ò He is very patient, reliable and accommodating. He makes sure Mikey understands what the problem is and how to solve it before he goes any further.Ó Miller is considering sending her daughter, who will be a junior, to Combs next year.

A reviewer on CombsÕ business website said Ò Garrett has been tutoring my son for some time now and we have seen a huge difference in his grades and his understanding of math. Garrett is very thorough and knowledgeable with his work. His patient, no nonsense approach has been great for [my son], and we look forward to having [my son] work with him throughout the school year.Ó

Getting in touch

The fourth quarter has begun, which means finals and Regents exams for area students.

Combs can be contacted for inquiries via his GDCÕ s Tutoring business page on Facebook.

Sessions, generally held at Richards Library in Warrensburg, are $20 an hour, with discounts for new students and referrals.

Combs accepts high school students, college students and adult leaners of all ages and abilities.

He plans to work right through the summer, offering Regents review for students attending summer school, SAT and ACT preparation and general refreshers in preparation for the coming school year. Ò IÕ m there as a service to help students who struggle in a certain content area discover what their abilities are and to help them further their education,Ó Combs said. Ò ThatÕ s the fun part about this: trying to overcome a challenge as a tutor in the same way a student is trying to overcome a challenge as a learner.Ó

Bernice Ende, lady long rider, sojourns in North Creek

By Ryan Edwards

ryan@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK Ñ Bernice Ende has been sleeping in a tent since 2008, and sheÕ s got another year and 4,000 miles to go before she sees her home state of Montana again.

Ende is about to become the first “long rider”—an equestrian explorer with over 1,000 miles under her or his beltÑ to ever complete a round-trip ride from coast to coast and back again.

The 8,000 mile journey will put Ende up to 24,000 miles in the saddle.

She started long riding in 2005, when, divorced and childless in her fifties, the retired classical ballet instructor embarked on a 2,000 mile expeditionÑ a trot in the park compared to her current endeavor. Ò I had been profoundly changed,Ó she said. Ò I knew IÕ d never go back.Ó She has been in the saddle ever since, roaming the continent with her team of horses and her dog Claire, pitching her tent anywhere she can, from parks to campsites to backyards. Ò I used to stay inside, but I stopped in 2008, for the horses,Ó she said. Ò They have to trust me. In the night, if they need something, they nicker and IÕ m there.Ó Ende currently rides with a team of twoÑ 12-year-old Fjord mare Essie Pearl and 5-year-old Fjord/Percheron mare Montana Spirit. Claire, whom Ende rescued as a puppy, abandoned and nearly frozen to death in a ditch, has retired from long riding due to old age. She is spending her golden years with a friend back home in Montana.

Current expedition

Ende began this trek in 2014, striving to celebrate 100 years of womenÕ s voting rights in Montana. She rode from Montana to the Rachel Carson Wildlife Refuge in Wells, ME, to pay tribute to the late pioneer of the conservationist movementÑ one of many influential women Ende has honored along the way, including

Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Matilda Joslyn Gage.

Now, sheÕ s back on the road after her four month winter layover in Fort Edward.

Due to the unpredictable North Country weather, her brief stay with North CreekÕ s own Richard Stewart has been extended a few days, and when the News Enterprise caught up with her on Thursday she was developing a severe case of cabin fever from her tent in StewartÕ s backyard.

The two have developed a lasting friendship in their few short days together. Stewart, who lives in the same house he has inhabited all of his 73 years of life, is grateful to have another free spirit like himself around to swap stories with. Ò It breaks up the monotony around here,Ó he said.

When the weather clears, Ende plans to make her way through Minerva to Tupper Lake on her way up to Ontario, Canada.

From there, she will travel west through Canada all the way to the Pacific coast, crossing the border from British Columbia back into the States.

SheÕ s not sure where she will end up on the west coast before she makes her way back to Montana to finish her record-breaking odyssey.

EndeÕ s international excursion is funded by donations and sales of her DVD Ò The First 10,000 MilesÓ Ñ a 30 minute narration of her first three years as a long rider, in Ende’s own voice.

Ende also gives speeches and presentations about her life along the way, from churches to libraries to school auditoriums.

She gave a total of 26 presentations at venues in both New York and Vermont during her winter break.

Life on the road

Ende wears a leather band on her ring finger to show that she is married to her life, and like any marriage, hers is not without difficulty.

“I cried all the first night,” she said. “Then I cried for the next two weeks.Ó A long riderÕ s life is no leisurely stroll. Ende and her team travel 30 miles each day on the road, and she spends a total of four hours a day setting up and breaking down her camp. This does not include watering and feeding the horses or herself.

Raised on a dairy farm in Minnesota, Ende grew up around horses; Ò I was riding in my momÕ s belly,Ó she quipped.

Yet, while her deep understanding of all things equestrian has been a valuable asset on her many adventures, it is certainly not the only skillset necessary to survive her way of life.

Surprisingly, her ballet training has been crucial to her success as a long rider. Travelling with no support vehicle and often miles from the nearest hospital, Ende has applied her knowledge of massage, stretching and other physical therapies to her various injuries, from sprained wrists to broken ribs.

Over time she learned how to survive on the fringes of society, often foraging for food and water and fighting off predators from wild stallions to grizzly bearsÑ transforming her into a truly self-reliant survivalist.

She has acquired sponsors over the years as well, who continue to supply her with top-of-the-line gear. ThatÕ s been a big help, too, she said.

Journal Editorial

Fair should serve up a little liquid gold

E

ssex County lawmakers have signed off on the sale of alcohol at this yearÕ s county fair.

Cheers.

But last yearÕ s debut rollout, despite heated debate between the supervisors, fell flat.

Fairgoers had to follow a trail of breadcrumbs to the vendors, who were consigned to the groundsÕ netherworld somewhere between the exhaust fumes from demolition racers and an animal paddock.

When they got there, patrons appeared to be unaware that many local brews were on tap, not just a trip on the Silver Bullet.

For such a fiery debate, the execution was decidedly anti-climatic.

While discussion this year was watereddown Ñ Controversy Liteª Ñ weÕ re afraid of an equally-diluted repeat.

This year, organizers need to get wise to the regionÕ s bubbling craft beer biz and bill our local producers as a marquee act, putting them on even footing with whatever whizbang ride or entertainer theyÕ ve got lined up.

These mom and pop brewers are some of our regionÕ s brightest assets, creating jobs and generating local spending in a state that has recently been ranked dead last in economic competitiveness.

Like the local food movement, interest in craft beers, ciders and wines is crackling.

On a national level, beer production rose 42 percent last year.

To accommodate the trend and encourage local economic development, the state passed a series of laws to lessen regulations on farm breweries, cideries and wineries.

Since 2012, 57 new farm breweries opened across New York.

To land the licenses, these operations must pledge to use specific levels of locally grown ingredients, a measure that drives demand for crops like hops, which can be grown by the brewer or purchased from a local grower.

Additional economic ripples come from the off-site retail outlets, restaurants and tastings that are permitted as part of these operations.

Across the board, the increase in alcohol-related start-ups in New York reflects a state hungry for keeping their drinking local.

Microbreweries, or operations who are capped at producing a maximum of 75,000 barrels annually, have skyrocketed by 160 percent in the past four years.

Wineries are up 50 percent from 2011; farm wineries, up 90 percent, while farm cideries and distilleries and brewpubs have also multiplied.

This is all good stuff.

So whatÕ s it got to do with us?

These entrepreneurial spirits are fermenting throughout the North Country, too.

Groups like the Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce, for instance, are working to connect producers to the public with initiatives like the Adirondack Craft Beverage Trail, a do-it-yourself tour showcasing 14 breweries in Warren, Washington and Saratoga counties, with more to be added later this year.

Within Essex County, a vibrant scene has sprung up, with breweries like the Blue Line in Saranac Lake, Paradox in Schroon Lake and AuSable Brewing Company in Keeseville, just to name three, adding color and vitality to the gastronomic landscape.

Fair organizers need to hop on board and embrace what we already have and harness these drivers of economic development Ñ not run away from them.

A big part of this is using the annual fair as a magnet.

We understand that for local officials, it’s a big step to simply authorize the sale of alcohol, much less aggressively promote its usage.

We also understand the concerns of the skeptical Ñ substance abuse remains a pervasive problem in the North Country.

Since the fair is designed to serve as a family-friendly event and model for the youth, we should safeguard those elements and ensure that its character remains consistent with those values.

We get the law enforcement concerns, too.

But the argument that the Agricultural Society needs to rely on alcoholic beverage sales or wine-tasting events to maintain revenues is a straw man: ItÕ s not about luring in locals with suds, but taking pride in our local products and sharing them with folks across the region.

Doing so would be a win-win across the board and would also drum up advance interest for the regionÕ s additional beer-related events later that fall.

ThereÕ s no reason why a showcase of local producers shouldn’t attract scores of aficionados from across the region, who will take their tipples and lift all boats while doing so.

Maybe the fair will even be eligible for the recent $3 million in craft beverage grant programs the state rolled out last year for promotion and marketing.

Beer, wine and cider producers produce liquid gold. ItÕ d be a shame for their contributions to go unrecognized. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board, Dan Alexander, Keith Lobdell and John Gereau

Letters to the Editor

Anti-smoking ads do make a difference To the Adirondack Journal: Is anyone else disturbed by the Tips From a Former Smoker ads on TV? The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) just announced a new campaign that started March 30. IÕ ve seen one new ad so far: JuliaÕ s story.

Julia smoked for more than 20 years before developing colon cancer at age 49. Her Ò tipÓ is to have a strong stomach. She explains that if you get colon cancer and have to have your colon removed, you will need to have an ostomy bag taped to your stomach to collect your waste. She talks about always being worried that the bag will smell or leak when she is in public. Julia is incredibly brave to speak so honestly, but as I watched I wondered É will her story and this campaign really make a difference?

The good news is evidence suggests that these ads do make a difference. According to the CDC, smokers report that the ads inspire them to try to quit. And we know that more smokers are really trying after seeing these ads because there is an increase in the number of calls to the Quitline.

Take, for instance, the last campaign that launched in July 2014. During the three months prior to that campaign, the highest number of calls in one month from Clinton, Essex, Franklin and Hamilton counties combined was 206.

In July, there were 242 calls (NYS Quitline). ThatÕ s a 15 percent increase!

So as much as I donÕ t want to see the painful ways that tobacco has effected peoplesÕ lives, IÕ m thankful people like Julia are willing to share their stories.

They really are making a difference and saving lives.

ILH has disdain for dental office To the Adirondack Journal: Most of you are familiar with the story of Ticonderoga Dental. You know about InterLakes Health firing members without cause or warning.

You know how they abandoned thousands of dental patients with now reasonable plan. You know how they selected which employees to keep without considering guidelines of seniority or those much likely to operate a successful clinic. You can formulate your own explanation for their actions, they never adequately shared any plan with us.

Now, the hospital has expressed its ongoing disdain of the dental patients of Essex County.

While I recognize the right Dr. Moss has to move on to a new position, he and the hospital gave the patients one dayÕ s notice when the article appeared in the Times of Ti Thursday, March 26.

It is typical of how the hospital informs the public after there is any chance that positive action can be taken or even discussed. Unfortunately, dental health care in the North Country is driven by administrators who have no hands-on experience of patient care, nor any experience of dental clinical administration. The actions are described as Ò not being personal,Ó but for those suffering the results it is pitiful and very personal.

When we are displaced on Friday, Feb. 13, we spent one week in shock.

Then we went to work.

With the help of community friends, we found location in Ticonderoga.

Renovations began. Then we negotiated to obtain the wasted equipment of ILH. Obviously, we are not above using shame as a tactic! We knew there was a full schedule of patients that ILH could not responsibly treat with one doctor, so we asked for the charts of those patients, or even the names of the patients who had seen Dr. Cepelak and Debbie so we could contact them, but ILH refused.

Despite the fact that within weeks the hospital knew exactly were our new practice would be located, it was not unusual for members of the ILH Dental staff to knowingly give disinformation.

While describing such actions as unprofessional is accurate, I must again use the term pitiful.

On May 15, 2014, we were already seeing patients in our new location, just two blocks from the hospital on Lake George Avenue. We used the same fee schedule as ILH and we did accept Medicaid and Fidelis, the only new provider in Essex County in years. In 10 months, we have seen over 1,000 different patients, including 500 Medicaid and Fidelis patients.

We are busy, happy and here to stay!

But, there is a dark truth now in Ticonderoga.

No one can treat all of the patients abandoned by ILH. Within a week of the meeting I had with Rod Boula (acting CEO of ILH) about the possible closing of the ILH Dental, they were informing the patients that they were no longer scheduling patients (they had stopped accepting new Medicaid and Fidelis patients when they eliminated Dr. Cepelak) and referring them to Ticonderoga Dental and describing them as Ò Dr. CepelakÕ s patients.Ó Sorry, they may have been Dr. DepelakÕ s patients on Feb. 13, 2014, could have been Dr. CepelakÕ s patients on May 15, 2014. They stopped being such when ILH refused to give them us that time.

Now patients are calling Ticonderoga Dental, some cursing at us because Ò where are they supposed to go?Ó I ask the same question, but any

problem is not caused by us. We will try to serve every emergency patient we can, regardless of your insurance status, the best that we can. Medicaid and Fidelis patients must realize that for every irresponsible patient who fails to appear for two appointments, there are five who would like to be accepted into the practice.

For every patient who complains about our fees, your insurance uses as basis may not be the Ò usual and customaryÓ (higher) current fees. The fees accepted by providers from Medicaid and Fidelis are about 1/3 of our usual fees. They may be 1/5 of fees of other providers in the area. If I am asked to redo a procedure performed at ILH in the last two years, I am not paid at all. I would still have overhead for the procedure, with no income.

No business can operate under those terms.

My advice is to go to Inter Lakes Health Dental Clinic and ask for your records. Bring them with you when you go to Ticonderoga Dental or somewhere else. If they suggest that some other dentist may be coming, still demand your records. You may want to go somewhere else, or need to go somewhere else because no one knows what ILH may do.

In addition, here is a list of places to express your dissatisfaction with the status of dental care in the North Country: Congressman Elise Stefanik 743-0964, Senator Kristin Gillibrand gillibrand.senate.com.gov, Senator Charles Schumer schumer.senate.com. gov, Essex County Dept. of Health lbeers@co.essex.ny.us, Rod Boula CEO ECH 873-6377 ext. 3002, New York State Dept. of Health health.state. ny.us, Howard Zucker, MD New York State Dental Assoc 465-0044, NYS Medicaid 1-800-541-2831, NYS Fidelis 1-888-343-3547, State Senator Dist.

Misinforming the public To the Adirondack Journal: In his April 11 PublisherÕ s Column, Dan Alexander stated that he Ò was always taught the truth was the easiest information to provide as it requires nothing but the simple facts.Ó ItÕ s unfortunate, but thatÕ s just not the way things work in the real world.

Distinguishing the truth from the remainder requires knowledge won by considering various sources, all of them with at least some skepticism, and most importantly weighing not just their rhetoric but instead the actual evidence (or lack thereof) behind them. Simply accepting the word of some trusted source, be she/he the President of the United States, a member of Congress, a favorite television or radio program anchor or an editor for a local newspaper, is a sure way to become misinformed. (Especially when no few of those trusted sources mean to misinform when it suits their purpose.) Applying filters such as our core values, our faith and our common sense to whatever we hear, as Mr. Alexander suggests, wonÕ t help matters and might well make them worse; becoming genuinely knowledgeable is the only real solution.

Take as an example the topic of climate-changing pollution (aka global warming). A great many scientists put in a lot of work to produce evidence on the subject, and in some cases individually but more often in union they speak out to warn everyone where that evidence leads. But a great many politicians, talk show hosts, newspaper columnists, etc. work just as hard to discourage people from heeding that warning. Purportedly in the interest of being Ò fair and balancedÓ or supporting Ò free speech,Ó news media seriously exacerbate the situation by presenting these opposing points of view as if they were equivalent. People then accept them as such and choose whichever appeals to them most, never realizing that they could and should look past the words to the evidence (and a few scientists have put in a lot of work to make that evidence easy for the public to review, too). The result is unending debate instead of much-needed progress.

When journalists abandon their responsibility to ferret out the truth in favor of simply presenting all viewpoints, and the public is too trusting or lazy to ferret it out for themselves, unwelcome truth will always lose to misinformation or the conflict that arises between them.

I

donÕ t know about you, but a lot of things remind me of song titles or lyrics. Music is special for me and for many. I played it for decades on the radio and listen to it daily in my old age. I wonÕ t expound on the psychological benefits. I’m sure youÕ re aware of how music makes you feel.

YouÕ re no doubt familiar with the phrase: Ò Music has charms to sooth a savage breast.Ó Most folks credit Shakespeare, but the words were written

by William Congreve for the 1697 play Ò The Mourning Bride.Ó

by Gordie Little It’s the first line of the play and has been misquoted thousands of times. Perhaps you know someone who substituted Ò beastÓ for Ò breast.Ó Hey, nobodyÕ s perfect.

Once I get a song in my head, it repeats over and over almost ad nauseam, sometimes for days. Does that happen to you? This month, April songs have been on my mind.

Can you name a few in your memory banks?

One such that I can never hear enough was the title tune in a 1957 movie entitled Ò April LoveÓ , starring Pat Boone with Shirley Jones.

Boone, wearing his famous Ò white bucks,Ó made a number one hit of it.

Another one that comes to mind is Ò April Showers.Ó It dates to 1921 and I can hear Al Jolson crooning it in my head. I played it often for my Sunday Morning of Solid Gold audience back in the day. It was written for the Broadway musical Ò Bombo.Ó Jolson recorded it several times and I also found at least three dozen other recordings of that great song.

We must mention Ò April in ParisÓ with its wonderful line, Ò I never knew the charm of spring. I never met it face to face. I never knew my heart could sing.Ó Did you know it was written for the 1932 Broadway musical Ò Walk a Little FasterÓ ?

Freddie Martin recorded a hit version in 1933.

I have known a number of people with the name April. One of them I dubbed Ò My little angel.Ó Some of you might recall that we worked day and night in a chilly outside tent with April Lavalley who desperately needed a double-lung transplant some years ago.

Sadly, she left us before the surgery could take place. I think of her often and drove past her school in the northern tier of Clinton County the other day to see how tall the tree had grown, which we planted in her honor.

Another beautiful young woman named April Lavalley grew up in our community, moved to the west coast and became a prominent attorney. Some time back, I turned on the TV and almost fell off my recliner as I watched April and her fiancé appearing on a game show.

IÕ ll list a few more famous Aprils and you can add your own: April Hunter, April Lee Hernandez, April Peterson, and April Ross.

There are many more. April was a very popular girlÕ s name in the 1980s. I scoured the Internet and learned the original word meant Ò second,Ó but any Aprils I ever knew were Number 1.

Although the sun is brilliant as I write this on April 13, this month also puts me in mind of some favorite rain songs. Go ahead. You blurt out some titles while I list a few: Ò Baby the Rain Must FallÓ , Ò Blue Eyes CryinÕ in the RainÓ , Ó Come Rain or Come ShineÓ , Ò DonÕ t Let the Rain Come DownÓ , Ò It Never Rains in Southern CaliforniaÓ , Ò Rain on the RoofÓ , Ò Rain Rain Go AwayÓ , Ò Raindrops Keep Falling On My HeadÓ , Ò Rhythm of the RainÓ and that wonderful old folk song, Ò It AinÕ t Gonna Rain No More.Ó Then, of course, there is that ditty starting, Ò Playmate, come out and play with meÓ we intoned as little kids. How did you sing it? We used, Ò Shout down my rain barrel,Ó while others substituted Ò cryÓ or Ò lookÓ for the word Ò shout.Ó Kaye and I love to sing and dance to the old songs. It keeps our marriage young. Happy April to every one of you. Ò And weÕ ll be jolly friends for ever more.Ó

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden One Hundred Years Ago – April, 1915 Bolton cottager found dead

The mystery surrounding the disappearance, on Dec. 29, 1014, of Edward R. Reinicke, a New York broker, who had a summer home in Bolton Landing, has been solved by the discovery of his dead body, on Monday afternoon, March 29, 1915, in the woods on the Weber property in Yonkers. The gruesome find was made by two inmates of the county almshouse. The body was badly decomposed and was identified only through a tailor’s label on the clothing bearing the wearerÕ s name. Coroner Mills decided that it was a clear case of suicide and a razor was found near the body.

Mr. Reinicke was a member of Gravenhorst & Co., a Wall Street firm, and had no known money problems. A few months ago he cleared $25,000 on a sugar deal.

Bloodshed and mayhem

A Spaniard, employed by ex-Assemblyman Orlando Beede and living in the old Phineas Norton farm house, in the town of Keene, stabbed another Spaniard over the heart. The assailant is now confined in the Essex County Jail in Elizabethtown, having been captured by Under Sheriff Pool. The assaulted man was taken to the hospital and is in critical condition. He has an ugly wound over his heart.

In another story in that general area, two cows belonging to Fred Lang of Coot Hill, near Port Henry, were killed by Paris green poison a few days ago. Every effort is now being made by Port Henry authorities to locate the guilty parties who are still at large.

William Denton – successful businessman

A Saranac Lake man has put that town on the map as a wild animal center. Mr. Denton has started a thriving wild animal farm and has met with such success that circus men have already called on him, purchasing from his stock for menageries.

On his farm are found nearly all the wild animals native to the Adirondacks. He plans to raise fur bearing animals for the sale of their pelts as well as keep the shows and circuses stocked.

The “Movies” in Lewisville

In the section of River Street, known as Ò Lewisville,Ó Warrensburgh, Martin Griffin has moved to his new house on Hoag Avenue. Joshua Baker is moving from the Will Hayes property to the old Griffin property. Horace Lillibridge is moving from his farm on Harrington Hill to the house formerly occupied by Lemuel Hayes. Mr. Hayes is on his way to the Harrington Hill property which was formerly the Lilliebridge farm.

Charles Smith has moved to Frank StoneÕ s property. George Hill is coming from the Seth Harrington farm to HayesÕ property on Benton Street.

Edward Harrington, fireman at the Empire Shirt Company’s factory, while moving his household goods from his residence in Warrensburgh to his farm on Harrington Hill, Tuesday evening, April 6, 1915, was thrown from his wagon and painfully injured about his body and shoulders.

Left his mark

Frank Chenier, 49, of Glens Falls, father of twenty-one chil-

dren, twelve of whom survive, died Thursday, March 25, 1915 in the Glens Falls Hospital from an abscess. The twenty-first child was born a month ago.

the Wesleyan Church and she was interred in the Dean Cemetery.

Two brides Ð two grooms A double wedding ceremony was solemnized at Bakers Mills Sunday evening, April 4, 1915 by the Rev. W.H. Lamoy. Burt Allen and Miss Cora Hitchcock and Lewis Morehouse and Miss Lillie Rist, all of Bakers Mills, made up the happy quartet whose number was reduced by half when the nuptial knot was tied which made them two.

The wedding took place at the home of Mrs. Caroline Hitchcock, mother of one of the brides. The brides were tastefully gowned and many relatives and friends were present.

Ò The cat ate the canary, he didnÕ t leave a thing. Now he goes out at night and thinks that he can sing.Ó The weather, though clear, was too cold for a comfortable display of feminine finery, but nevertheless many handsome costumes were noted in the after church Easter parade in Warrensburgh.

Frank Warren, of Bakers Mills, moved to camp at Siamese Pond Wednesday night, March 34, 1915, to be near his traps and look after them during the remainder of the fur season, also to get ready for the opening of the season for trout fishing.

Mrs. James A. Emerson left Monday, March 8, 1915 for the Panama Canal zone where she will sojourn several weeks for the benefit of her health. She was accompanied by Miss Ryan, a trained nurse from Albany. They left March 11, 1915 from New York by steamer.

Fire, late Sunday night, March 7, 1915, caused damage to Mrs. Lawrence PrattÕ s house on Horicon Avenue, Warrensburgh. The origin of the fire is a mystery, but was probably caused by an exploding oil lamp.

George GoodspeedÕ s house in North Creek, on Saturday, March 27, 1915, burned to the ground.

A son was born recently to Mrs. Chandler Holman, of Hague.

Mrs. Sophie Lewis has purchased the Joseph Dunn house in Hague and expects to move there soon.

Claude H. Lanfear, of East Thurman, is driving a fine threeyear-old colt. Myron Sewell has bought George MiddletonÕ s buckskin horse at Trout Lake, Bolton, for fifty dollars.

Water is rising

The Hudson and Schroon rivers are fast being distributed from their winterÕ s sleep and have been rising rapidly. The rush and dash of log driving on these streams will soon be impetuously in order. Lumbermen report one million logs ready for the spring drive and are optimistic in regard to the Hudson, Schroon and Sacandaga rivers.

Sleighs went out of commission recently and wagons are being brought out for the season.

Sugar days are here

Sugar making is in progress and Beecher Whipple has tapped 800 trees in W.F. TennysonÕ s sugar camp at Friends Lake. Harry ThurstonÕ s sugar camp in Chestertown is in full operation. Mel Brooks, of Darrowsville, is busy making his maple syrup. John H. Arehart, of West Stony Creek, is getting ready for the maple sugar and syrup season at his sugar bush in that place.

Although sugar season is in full swing, there is only a slight run of sap and it is thought that very little sugar will be made this year because of last yearÕ s severe drought.

Abram F. Van Dusen lost a valuable horse recently in a peculiar manner. He was hauling sap to his sugar house and the young team ran away, colliding with a tree and killing one of the horses almost instantly.

Thurman man in fine shape

James Warren, 84, of East Thurman, is remarkably vigorous for a man of his years. He frequently takes one end of a cross saw and chops wood with an axe.

The Rev. Louis H. Jones has a small cake of maple sugar given him by his uncle, James Warren, in the spring of 1874, forty-one years ago.

Citizens dead and gone

Mrs. Almira (Monroe) Stratton, 71, died March 25, 1915 at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Jabez Kenyon, in Stony Creek. Burial was in the Athol Cemetery.

Daniel Donohue, an aged resident of North Creek, died Sunday night, March 28, 1915 after a short illness of pneumonia. He leaves a widow, three sons and five daughters and also a sister, Mrs. Michael Carey, all of North Creek.

Mrs. Conrad Frye, of Brooklyn, formerly Miss Edith Dean, of Stony Creek, died of pneumonia at her home and her body was brought back to Stony Creek for burial. The funeral was held at

Sweet and sour notes

Looking back at history

It was just four years ago, in 1911, that a one story frame vernacular federal period farmhouse, built in 1815, was moved from the Thurman Station area to Warrensburgh and attached to the west end of the 1833 Griffing house to be used as a summer kitchen. Although the Warrensburgh Greek Revival house was built in 1833 it was not owned by Stephen Griffing II until 1838.

(Note Ð It was just thirty-six years ago, April 16, 1979 that Grace Merrill Lown Magee, 93, the granddaughter of Stephen Griffing II, died on this property, at 3 Hudson Street that she so loved and was so very proud of. It would have undoubtedly been her dearest wish to have the house live on and I have no doubt that the restoration now going on to save this wonderful piece of Warrensburg history from extinction would have brought her a great deal of happiness.

We all have much to thank Mike and Donna Flanagan, as well as Richard and Leslie Flanagan, for rescuing this beloved historical landmark that is so important to the history of our Queen Village.

Donna Flanagan told me that she had heard a story from townspeople that the ghost of Grace Magee had been seen at times sadly looking out of an upstairs bedroom window but she was unable to find anyone who had seen her. If this is true, I am sure that if she is again seen, Grace will be smiling.

Osborn of Queensbury. Ben was killed during combat operations in Kunar Province, Afghanistan June 15, 2010 while serving in the United States Army during Operation Enduring Freedom.

The Fund supports children with need in con-

junction with 32 schools in Warren, Washington and Saratoga Counties by providing purchased goods and services including electronics, clothing, bedding, food, tutoring, school supplies, eyeglasses, transportation costs, field trip admission expenses, etc. In addition to the school-year gifts, the Fund awards 20 scholarships to qualifying graduating seniors from ten local school districts. The Fund provides food and personal care items to 11 local food pantries.

BenÕ s Fund has so far helped well over 1,500 children.

Additionally, at Christmas, the Ben Osborn Memorial Fund adopts families in need from 32 different schools as well as 24 local charitable organizations. This past holiday season, they donated almost $13,000 in food and gifts to local children and families with need.

They are excited to announce the unveiling of the first “BEN’S BOOK STATION,” constructed by Fort Ann High School students, at this yearÕ s event. BenÕ s

Book Stations will carry donated books for children and teens ages 5 to 18 to read, keep or trade. The stations are small, permanent all-weather units designed and built by school technology classes and maintained by students. Their literacy initiative encourages pride, responsibility, and ownership of the books. Community credit hours may be achieved through the program. Books can be donated at the neighborhood stations throughout the region.

It is their mission and hope that the values of discipline and pride will be encouraged and passed on through BenÕ s legacy. To honor the memory of Ben Osborn, whose selfless sacrifice and service to our country has so inspired us, they wish to help by Ò Giving Kids a Little LiftÓ .

Tickets cost $20 in advance or $25 at the door which includes buffet, door prizes and cash bar. For additional information, contact William D. Osborn, President, BEN OSBORN MEMORIAL FUND at 7924514 or go to benosbornfund.org
