N. Warren parents pepper officials over Common Core Meeting also brings out support for teachers up for tenure

By Christopher Pratt christopher@denpubs.com CHESTER Ñ About 100 residents attended a sometimes tense meeting of the North Warren school board meeting last week to raise concerns about issues including the Common Core and teacher tenure.

Nearly 200,000 students -including some in the North Warren district -- did not take the Common Core standardized tests last month. Many parents across the state opted their children out of the exam to send a message to government officials. The New York State United Teachers union and other groups have criticized the high stakes associated with the tests.

At the April 21 board meeting, parent Cindy Donald asked Superintendent Margaret Brady why students who did not take the exams were allowed to stay in the classrooms while their peers took CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

bends low and digs his mitt into the clay to snag a ground ball at his first ever little league practice.

Last year, HudsonÕ s mitt wouldnÕ t reach the groundÑ he was playing from a wheelchair.

It all began the day before Easter, 2014, when Dunkley noticed Hudson was walking strangely. At first she thought nothing of it, as Hudson has been loose-jointed from birth, she said.

Then, when it was time to get up off the floor where

Frantic and fearing for the worst, Dunkley brought Hudson to the emergency room at Glens Falls Hospital.

Dunkley

From page 1 Hospital for Children in Boston, where he was misdiagnosed with epiphyseal dysplasia Ñ a genetic disorder which affects the growing ends of bones Ñ which a specialist later refuted.

Because of the enigmatic nature of his symptoms, it was determined to be in HudsonÕ s best interest that he be taken off his feet and placed in a wheelchair.

Hudson spent almost three months in that chair, no one knowing if he would ever come out of it again.

The doctorsÕ advice: wait six months and see what happens. Ò That wasnÕ t acceptable to me,Ó Dunkley said.

Instead, she took to the Internet and found Hudson a new doctor in New York City, the only one in his field for Hudson’s age — Dr. David Godfried of the Hospital for Joint Diseases.

DunkleyÕ s friends and family were wary Ñ North Creek to NYC is a big jump, and Hudson had already seen his share of doctors.

But Dunkley wouldnÕ t be deterred. Ò We have to at least try,Ó she said.

This time the diagnosis was correct Ñ avascular necrosis.

The condition, which most commonly affects adults between the ages of 30 and 60, is characterized by interrupted or reduced blood-flow to

a bone, resulting in the death of bone tissue due to lack of blood supply.

By the time he was diagnosed, HudsonÕ s blood had eroded close to two inches of bone in his left femur.

A solution in sight

To both DunkleyÕ s relief and her dismay, Dr. Godfried recommended that Hudson undergo major surgery on his leg.

The procedure, called an osteotomy, would require Dr. Godfried to cut and tilt HudsonÕ s bone to allow the blood to flow correctly.

Fearing the consequences of inaction, Dunkley gave her blessing for the procedure, and Hudson and his family returned to N.Y.C. for his surgery on July 3, 2014.

The surgery was a success; unfortunately in this case success meant that Hudson had lost an inch of bone from his leg and gained two plates and six screws in its place.

Dunkley was stunned to find that, had the condition not been corrected at this age, it would have become non-correctable later in life, and Hudson would never have been free of his pain.

Hudson spent another eight weeks in his wheelchair, six of them in a spica castÑ essentially a body cast with one leg and both arms freeÑ back home in Bakers Mills.

Because he was in traction and the equipment wouldn’t fit in his bedroom, the layout of

the DunkleyÕ s ranch home underwent a major transformation to accommodate Hudson while he healed.

Both HudsonÕ s and his parentsÕ beds were moved into the living room, where they all slept until the cast was removed, four weeks before Hudson started kindergarten.

With only 25 percent mobility in his left hip, Hudson will likely walk with a limp all his life, and will possibly need to wear a lift in his shoe to maintain equal length in his legs.

A small, good thing

Hudson returns to the Big Apple every three months to see Dr. Godfried, and before his most recent visit last month, Dunkley had begun to notice a slight regression in HudsonÕ s movements, and a familiar wave of fear and uncertainty crashed over her.

However, unlike so many others, this visit brought the Dunkley family some overdue good news.

HudsonÕ s symptoms were an expected and necessary part of the healing process, and Dr. Godfried was satisfied with his progress.

But that wasnÕ t all Ñ at this visit, Dr. Godfried gave the greenlight for Hudson to hit the baseball diamond on his two feet.

Dunkley recalled the visit pleasantly: Ò What do you want to do?Ó Dr. Godfried asked Hudson, referring to physical activities, which needed to be cleared by him. Ò I want to play baseball!Ó Hudson replied, brimming with enthusiasm.

Dr. Godfried paused to think it over.

“OK,” he said. “You can play baseball, but no sliding!Ó Last year, t-ball season began and ended during HudsonÕ s stint in a wheelchair, before his surgery.

While the coaches allowed Hudson to play, he did so from his chair, elated just to be out on the field with his friends.

In those days, HudsonÕ s teammates chased after the ball and passed it onto him so he could throw it in.

This year, however, playing for the Johnsburg Black Diamonds, Hudson can field the ball entirely on his own.

And like his riverine namesake, Hudson continues to march forward, no matter what obstacles lay in his path.

“You’ll see him run stiff, but you’ll never see

him stop running,Ó his mother said.

According to Dunkley, Hudson maintained this unshakable resiliency from the very beginning. Ò He did not complain once,Ó she said. Ò He was better than me. I was crying all the time Ñ he was fine.”

Dunkley recalled a particular memory she shared with her son when Hudson was still in his chair and she was beginning to feel hopeless: Ò We are a religious family,Ó she said. Ò But I had stopped going to church because I was too angry. On motherÕ s day, I asked Hudson what he wanted to do, and he said, Ô Mom, letÕ s go to church.Õ Ò I was crying in the pew,Ó she continued, Ò and Hudson was up in the front row dancing in his chair.Ó

A community rallies

Dunkley said that she has the Johnsburg community to thank for helping pull her family through these trying times. Ò Our community has supported us 110 percent,Ó Dunkley said. Ò ItÕ s like everyone was Ô Team Hudson.Õ Ó Small benefits were held in the area, as well as a GoFundMe account, to raise money for the Dunkley familyÕ s substantial medical expenses, which included a donation from the North Country Hardship Fund.

When they learned he would need a wheelchair, HudsonÕ s family were timid about sending him back to pre-k because of the added burden on the faculty, but when Hudson returned to school he was set up with his own table in the classroom and his classmates fought regularly over who would have the honor to push his wheelchair down the hall.

HudsonÕ s parents are unsure whether or not he will be able to play for the whole season, but they are taking it one day at a time.

If his first practice was any indication, Hudson wonÕ t be slowing down anytime soon. Ò I like baseball,Ó he roared at practice. Ò I like to run!Ó Hudson has one more surgery in 2016 to have the plates and screws removed.

His mother asked him, Ò What do you want to do after your surgery?Ó Ò I want to go to Disney World!Ó Hudson beamed.

the tests. Brady said the building principal, nor any teachers, brought forth concerns about keeping the students in the same rooms. Ò It hasnÕ t been an issue,Ó Brady told parents.

Frustrations have been raised during other opt out demonstrations that students have been asked to Ò sit and stare,Ó rather than being given alternative activities, but Brady said students who were not taking the exams were able to read while others took the tests.

Other issues were raised during the meeting that brought tensions. Several parents questioned why the superintendent did not state in a letter that students had the option to skip the exams. Ò I am bound by law. ... I can not tell them they can refuse,Ó Brady told the group.

Although the superintendent said she couldnÕ t comment on how other districts addressed opt outs, she acknowledged standardized testing is a hot-button issue. Ò I am not going to come between parents and their very passionate disagreement with the government,Ó Brady said.

But Brady said standardized test data has helped improve students performance. Test data has led to North Warren developing better strategies for aiding students in identifying the main theme in their English coursework. Specifically, district teachers -- in conjunction with the Capital Area School Development Association -- developed lesson plans using standardized exam data, Brady said.

North Warren PTO organizer Kelly Walker said Common Core is being widely debated throughout the community. She urged the crowd to voice their concerns to Gov. Andrew CuomoÕ s office. “This ball of fire, of energy, needs to go to the Governor’s office -- and say ‘get rid of the testing, get rid of the Common Core.Õ Ó Several others in the crowd continued with questions for district officials, at times shaking their heads out of frustration.

Board president John Maday brought the public comments pe-

riod to an end, saying he appreciated all of the feedback, Ò but I donÕ t want it to get nasty,Ó Maday said.

In other action at the nearly two-hour long meeting, students, teachers and parents spoke in support of a popular health teacher, Debra Varsames, being awarded tenure.

Parent Mary Miller said Varsames is Ò extremely well-liked.Ó Ò She is dedicated to the kids; the kids go to here all the time; and she communicates with us as parents,Ó Miller said. Ò I just hope when her tenure application comes up that you guys take into consideration that we as a community really should keep somebody like her.Ó In New York, tenured educators have the right to retain their positions and only be terminated if there is Ò just causeÓ pursuant to applicable laws, according to the teachers union website.

The process governing tenure has been significantly modified in

recent years, with teacher performance linked to how students perform on standardized tests. A budget deal reached by state lawmakers earlier this year also has implications for those vying for tenure Teachers would be eligible for tenure protections after four years in the classroom instead of three and they would have to receive high ratings during three of those years.

Student Jack Bartlett addressed the board on behalf of a group of students who signed a petition in support of Varsames. He also read a message that a fellow student wrote. Ò Ms. Varsames is the Ô light of the school,Ó he said.

No specifics about when the board plans to take action on whether to extend Varsames a tenure offer were discussed during the meeting. Brady said after the meeting that she the discussion about Varsames was Ò premature.Ó

Railway to move caboose snack bar to Thurman, add jobs

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK Ñ Thurman will soon become a little more accommodating to tourists, after pending plans of the Saratoga-North Creek Railway are realized.

The railway plans to move its concession caboose from the Riverside Station in Riparius Ñ where itÕ s been sitting idle for several years Ñ to a new site in Thurman station, where it will serve fast food like it did many years ago.

Saratoga Justin Gonyo said the move is part of a plan to enhance the experience for tourists on the railwayÕ s North End Local tourist train service, which is geared for visitors to Lake George.

The caboose is to serve up fast food including hot dogs, hamburgers, drinks, french fries and snacks. Gonyo said the concession caboose would be open to the public seasonally through weekends as well as some regular hours during the week. Ò This is one more amenity we will be offering

for visitors to Thurman Station and our North End Local passengers,Ó he said.

Years ago when the Upper Hudson Railroad operated rail service on the county-owned tracks, passenger service was limited to an 8.6mile stretch between North Creek and Riparius, and the concession caboose was popular with tourists.

But under the present operation of the Saratoga-North Creek Railway, passenger service extends south to Saratoga Springs and beyond Ñ and Riparius isnÕ t a scheduled stop-off Ñ but Thurman Station is.

Relocating the caboose to Thurman station will provide a new attraction for the North End Local service, launched last year to promote train trips from Thurman to North Creek with Lake George visitors, which can number 50,000 or more in a busy weekend. This tourist service, featuring a discounted price, has been hailed by local business managers and tourism officials.

The concession caboose is to be moved to Thurman Station and open for business by July 3.

In other business, Gonyo said that the rail-

way was now undergoing a comprehensive process to clear the railway corridor of brush, and this effort and related work would be providing five additional seasonal jobs on the railroad from late May to early November.

“Spring is finally here, and we’re going ‘full boreÕ on a lot of major projects,Ó he said.

Gonyo said the railwayÕ s dome cars were being rehabilitated and upgraded, and one of their coach cars would host a new cafe with short-order offerings, as well as have new upholstery on seats, new stainless steel on the interior walls, and new carpeting.

Also to receive cosmetic upgrades are the Thurman and Hadley-Luzerne train stations, as well as their surrounding grounds, Gonyo said. Ò WeÕ ll be giving the stations enhanced Ô curb appeal,Õ Ó he said, adding that a ground-breaking ceremony for the new Corinth rail station would be held this summer.

Also, hauling of freight along the rail line is expected to increase, Gonyo said, with 4,000 tons of high-grade gravel to be moved from Tahawus to Massachusetts later this year. The material is to be used by that stateÕ s department

of transportation.

Gonyo also noted that in August, he and other railway officials are meeting with Canadian Pacific officials to negotiate contracts for freight to be transported over the track they control.

Saratoga-North Creek Railway has been seeking to deliver thousands of tons of gravel from Tahawus to the Long Island area. Ò We are gaining traction with Canadian Pacific,” Gonyo said, adding that the railway was soon bringing an additional locomotive to North Creek.

Tuesday, Thurman Station Association President Perky Granger said the railwayÕ s relocation of the concession caboose was a welcome move forward in boosting its passenger service.

Her volunteer Association has recruited various artisans and business representatives to show their wares at the station this summer, on Saturdays from July 6 through Labor Day. Ó Relocating the caboose to Thurman is an exciting development,Ó she said. Ò ItÕ s likely to boost activity at Thurman Station, enticing passengers to stop and enjoy the facility.Ó

Police Beat Warren Co. Sheriff K9 Eric dies

L A K E GEORGE Ñ The Warren County SheriffÕ s Department have said goodbye to six-year veteran K9 Eric on Sunday, April 26.

Winter Recovery grants to bankroll more paving projects thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — A pending bonus grant to Warren County from the state will soon make driving a lot smoother on a number of upcounty roadways.

The county is scheduled to receive $177,499 through the stateÕ s Winter Recovery Grants program, and county Public Works Superintendent Jeff Tennyson has detailed how it is to be spent.

Stretches of four more roadways are now to be reconstructed or resurfaced, in addition to paving and rehabilitation of 13 other roads in northern Warren County.

Added to the resurfacing or reconstruction list are: • a quarter-mile stretch of Sagamore Road in Bolton Landing; • A 0.2-mile length of Country Club Road in Queensbury near the bike path parking lot; • Extension of previously funded repaving on East River Drive in Lake Luzerne; and • Extension of previously endorsed repaving of a .6-mile stretch of Garnet Lake Road.

In addition to the above, a dozen roads had already been scheduled for repaving or reconstruction this spring or summer funded by $1.65 million in state Consolidated Highway Improvement (CHIPS) funding and about $350,000 in county taxpayer money. These roadways are: • Mountain Road, a .75 mile length near Dartmouth Road in Thurman;

• Valentine Pond Road in Horicon, .75 miles; • Mountain Road in Thurman, 1.4 miles between Woodline and Valley roads; • Schroon River Road, one mile stretch in town of Chester; • Dartmouth and Murray roads, .72 miles in town of Stony Creek; • Main St. in North Creek, 1 mile between state Rte. 28 and Rte. 28N; • Peaceful Valley Road, .23 miles between Durkin Road and Gore Access Road; • West Hague Road, 1.2 miles off Rte. 8 in Town of Hague; • Pilot Knob Road in Queensbury, .6 miles between the county line and state Rte. 9L; • West Mountain Road in Queensbury, 1.75 miles between Gurney Lane and Aviation Road; • Corinth Road in Queensbury, between city line and West Mountain Road; and • Oxbow Hill and Moon Hill roads, .85 miles between the Bay Road and Martindale road.

Tennyson urged supervisors to invest as much money as possible to keep roads in good condition, in order to avoid having to spend far more cash on road reconstruction in upcoming years. Ò All municipalities are struggling to keep roads in good shape within existing budgetary constraints,Ó Tennyson said, nothing that the county is spending $3.14 million in total this year on materials and contracts for road improvement projects; $4 million total including equipment and labor.

Floyd Bennett Memorial Bandstand reconstruction underway

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ For decades, a local landmark that has represented Warrensburg to people both in the U.S. and overseas was deteriorating, and most recently it fell into a state of disrepair.

But as of April 20, work began to reconstruct the historic Floyd Bennett Memorial Bandstand, built in 1929 to commemorate the townÕ s most famous resident.

This community centerpiece was built in 1929 to honor aviator Floyd Bennett, a Warrensburg native who flew Richard Byrd on the duoÕ s historic attempt in 1926 to reach the North Pole.

This last week, workers of Mid-State Industries of Schenectady, the general contractor on the project, erected timbers to support the bandstandÕ s ceiling and roof assembly, as the columns are to be replaced soon. They also built scaffolding for replacing the roof, including the decorative railing and spindles along the perimeter.

Can’t find what you’re looking for?

Be sure to check out our classifieds!

A new wrought-iron railing, crafted by Anderson & Sons of Warrensburg, is to encircle the bandstand stage.

The project also calls for constructing one new handicappedaccess rest room, replacing the two outdated ones. Town officials said the rest rooms are likely to be open seasonally.

The construction work is to be completed by at least November, according to a bid of $249,104 awarded to Mid-State.

But Warrensburg Town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty said that the work will likely be finished by mid-summer.

The total cost of the rehabilitation project was once estimated at $317,000, but town officials decided to have some of the work accomplished by local firms and by town employees. Half of the total cost is to be paid by the state, with the balance shouldered by local taxpayers, Geraghty said. Ò ItÕ s fortunate that through the stateÕ s Consolidated Funding process we are able to properly restore this important historic structure,Ó Geraghty said. Ò ItÕ s an important link to the townÕ s past Ñ that will now be preserved for future generations.Ó

T

Build it, and they will come

his past March, town officials in Lake George awarded a construction bid for a skateboard park first proposed seven years ago.

About a month later, in Saranac Lake, an 11year push for a skate park in the village reached the $300,000-plus fundraising mark necessary to start pouring the concrete.

We have this to say – finally.

And other municipalities should follow suit in a timely manner.

Underserved If a kid wants to play basketball, itÕ s easy.

Schools, parks, even the hoop in the driveway.

Soccer goals, baseball diamonds, football fields – traditional team sports are about as accessible as can be. All it takes is a pair of shoes and a ball.

Teens on wooden decks with four wheels, meanwhile, have been left rallying behind the Ò skateboarding is not a crime,Ó cry for years, dodging authorities as they participate in what was, if not still is, looked upon as a counterculture sport.

TheyÕ re right. Skateboarding isnÕ t a crime. But property destruction, trespassing, or in some places, riding on streets, is. A town without a skatepark becomes a skatepark. ItÕ s what has put the sport in contention with police and municipalities for decades.

Some places adapted and built parks, providing skateboarders with the same opportunities as any other sport-seeking youth. Studies have pointed toward correlations between public skateparks and a reduction of crime and complaints. Skateboarders seek rails, ledges, stairs, banks, a variety of rideable features, and one would be hard pressed to find a skater who wouldnÕ t choose a professionally designed park over potholed streets traveled by cars and pedestrians.

With the rise of skateparks has also come a decline in risk. Virtually all skateboard fatalities have happened away from parks, most involving automobiles. Just this April, a 13-year-old skateboarder was airlifted to Syracuse in critical condition after a collision with a truck in Watertown.

It’s not the first incident of its kind in the area, nor will it be the last if skateboardersÕ only option is to take to the streets.

And then thereÕ s this: perhaps the most basic but important part of the equation Ð most skateboarders are kids who chose the sport as a way to get outside and be active, a way to spend time with friends or challenge themselves. Maybe they dream of being great at it. Maybe some will be. But theyÕ ll all enjoy it.

But only if given the chance.

Locals stepping up

Through the microscope of the park projects in Lake George and Saranac Lake, the work undertaken by youth and adults, from the lobbying to fundraising, is commendable. Nearly a third of the price tag for Saranac LakeÕ s concrete park came from village in-kind funds, supporting the replacement of a skatepark that was the basketball equivalent of a dirt court with a bottomless milk crate for a hoop. Even the skaters in that town raised $60,000 themselves.

For the skateboarders who helped make the projects come to fruition, itÕ s been a lesson in patience and perseverance. For the non-skateboarders, the support was a selfless act in recognition that the sport need not be a crime.

But what took so long? Skateboarding Ð as well as action sport cousins like rollerblading and BMX biking Ð made a meteoric rise in the late 1990s. From the X Games to Tony HawkÕ s video game franchise, it went from fringe to mainstream.

Skateboarding may have cooled some in the last decade Ð the amount of time its taken to get some local parks funded and OKÕ d Ð but it still boasts nearly 10 million participants nation-wide as an established sport.

Build it and they will come These parks will draw local skaters and tourists alike. They may not generate millions in revenue, but a vacation-planning family may take note of a place where a son or daughter can skate.

Meanwhile, our area youth will be drawn to a place where they can skate in relative safety. It may be dangerous, but no more so than virtually any other school-sanctioned team sport.

Skateboarders in Saranac Lake and Lake George, as well as our communities that already have parks, wonÕ t have to slink around town while dodging cars and potentially damaging property. This will help erode a long-standing misconception that has likely contributed toward communities’ hesitance to fund parks in the first place Ð that skateboarders are delinquents.

What if baseball players were forced to find a parking lot in which to swing a bat? Surely the broken windows and dented cars that would result would taint the viewing of them.

No, skateboarders aren’t misfits, nor should they be treated as such. In an era of hours of screen time and youth obesity, we need to embrace recreational opportunities whether they involve a ball or a board. The cost of a low-maintenance park is a small price to pay when the outcome local kids that are happily active and engaged.

Letters to the Editor

Common Core a bad idea To the Adirondack Journal: You began your editorial concerning Common Core with “Everyone’s frustrated.Ó So itÕ s logical to surmise that if everyone is frustrated then all of us canÕ t be wrong. When something comes along in the education that irritates teachers, parents and students, then you have the perfect hornetÕ s nest of activity. When these same groups are left out of the discussion, you best expect some push-back.

Your editorial board claims, too, that education has “turned into a political game.Ó Well, who turned it into political issue? The politicians, of course, and they have partnered with liberal corporate leaders such as Bill and Melinda Gates and Pearson Publishing. So it goes beyond politics with partisan think tanks and liberal non-educators spreading their tentacles far and wide. Local and state authority are minimized when this happens.

The U.S. put a man on the moon and back to earth with math from the 40Õ s, 50Õ s and 60Õ s. What was wrong with that kind of math curriculum?

Nothing as far as I can tell. TodayÕ s students can hardly add or subtract things in their heads without a calculator. IÕ m guessing the use of calculators is when all of our troubles started. And now they have to decipher squares, cubes, lines, and dots to figure out simple mathematical problems. This is academic stupidity!

Listen, a bad idea is a bad idea. Common Core needs to be replaced with common sense; and what worked 70 years ago still works today. We need to go back to a time where schools taught the basics, taught discipline, and taught real critical thinking. Why try to re-invent the wheel to make 1+1 equal 2.4? It wonÕ t work and itÕ s clearly evident that everyone is frustrated because itÕ s not of their own doing.

F

irst off, I must publically thank my friends (they know who they are) for dropping by with goodies while Kaye and I sniffled and coughed through our personal encounter with the horrible stomach flu that has assailed this region.

They know Kaye’s affinity for dragon flies and gifted her with a beauty. They brought me a little stuffed horse named Ò Little Bits,” that I will always cherish as the official mascot for these weekly dribs and drabs in the paper.

All the o t h e r cards and good wishes were appreciated more than we can say. One of my dearest friends from a ghost town called Goshen in Peru,

by Gordie Little tapped lightly on the door last week and tiptoed into our kitchen carrying a bucket. I wasn’t sure at first if he had brought us throw-up pail to use for our tummy tumult, or had caught some fish for our frying pan.

None of the above. It was a pussy willow, complete with roots and water and ready for the planting. I was thrilled. He and I have exchanged one or more e-mails each day for years and there are few, if any, secrets that remain unshared.

Our conversations on the computer, on the telephone and at our respective kitchen tables, run the gamut of things that occupy our twisted minds. Topics range from flying C-119 cargo planes and B-52 bombers (heÕ s a retired US Air Force pilot) to drawing cartoons, swatting mosquitoes, antique cars, history and so much more.

He lives near a river bank and so do we.

ItÕ s only natural that our blather would get Ô round to pussy willows. Right? The words elicit so many fond childhood memories for him and for me and, hopefully, for you as well. My mother always had a pussy willow bush or tree near the house. They were the most wonderful harbingers of spring.

We loved bringing in the branches full of socalled catkins (flowers) and the lovely soft puffs that trigger our warm nostalgia.

The official name of the kind that grows in our neck of the woods is Salix discolor, in case you felt an uncontrollable need to know.

My friend says he has planted several on his property and I was hard put to tell him why I didnÕ t have at least one around here.

Now I do. The moment he drove out of the yard, I grabbed a beautiful antique woodenhandled shovel some anonymous person had left here, and strolled out back. I dug a nice hole by the bird bath on the river bank and unceremoniously plopped in the pussy willow, replete with roots, attached grasses and water. IÕ ll watch it and talk to it and nurture it. I truly believe that we can commune with nature in so many ways.

I have learned that, unless you prune them vigorously every year, pussy willows can reach 30-feet in height. I donÕ t suppose we want this one to block our view of the beloved Saranac River, so weÕ ll keep the pruning shears handy. Some gardeners even Ò stumpÓ by cutting them close to the ground each year before the leaves start to appear.

Just being able to bring the branches inside will further enhance our feeling that the seasons have indeed changed, in spite of their apparent reluctance to do so this year.

How many ways have you seen pussy willows arranged and displayed? To me, they are gorgeous stuck in a cracked vase or even an old soda bottle. Some might want to weave them into a wreath or other clever design.

I have learned that pussy willow roots are amazingly prolific and tough. Experts warn against planting them anyplace near your water pipes or septic system in order to stave off possible encroachment. Ò A word to the wise,Ó as my mother used to say.

I asked my friend what kind of pussy willow he brought me. His answer: “You have a Chesterfield.” I’m fairly sure that is not a genus or species, but the actual place where he found it by the side of the road and dug it up for Kaye and me.

ThatÕ s what friends do, you know.

A look inside of the SUNY Adirondack nursing program

By Ryan Edwards

ryan@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — May 6 marks the beginning of National Nurses Week—a time to reflect on the care and commitment of nurses across the country and all over the world.

In order to better understand what it takes to become a nurse, the Adirondack Journal was given a lesson and a tour of SUNY AdirondackÕ s nursing lab by associate professor of nursing and Health Sciences division chair Donna Healy.

The dedicated staff and state-of-the-art facilities offered at SUNY Adirondack provide its students with the necessary knowledge and skills to build a career in the field.

The college offers a rigorous two-year curriculum to earn an associate of science in nursing, which renders students eligible to sit for the licensing exam to become a registered nurse.

SUNY Adirondack recently teamed up with SUNY Plattsburgh to combat the areaÕ s low number of baccalaureate-level nurses, allowing for students to earn a four-year degree at their SUNY Plattsburgh branch campus.

Also, as of last fall, SUNY Plattsburgh now offers two of their classes to SUNY Adirondack students to help acclimate them to the challenges of pursuing their bachelorÕ s of science in nursingÑ a career move that Healy strongly promotes. Ò We encourage all of our students to go on and get a B.S.N.,Ó she said. Ò From the minute they come in here, we are giving them the message that nursing is life-long learning.Ó There is a clinical element to all nursing courses offered on the SUNY Adirondack campus, which starts as a lab, and moves on to a local hospital or other community setting after students’ first semester in the program.

CUTLINE SUNY Adirondack associate professor of nursing and Health Sciences division chair Donna Healy poses with Addy Rondacker, one of the nursing lab’s patient simulators.

But nursing students donÕ t need to leave campus for the clinical experienceÑ the collegeÕ s nursing lab is home to multiple simulation rooms, in which small groups of students respond to real-life scenarios that challenge their critical thinking as well as their clinical judgement.

Professors watch from behind a one-way mirror as students respond to these impromptu scenarios on a number of high-tech dummies called patient simulatorsÑ ranging from a small child, to a grown man, to a mother and her newborn baby.

The professors speak as the patient from a microphone behind the glass, and can control their eye movements, skin coloration

and even make them sweat.

Students are monitored by faculty from a number of strategically located cameras, which also record the scenario, and the tape is reviewed by students during the routine debriefing after each simulation.

There are generally four students present for each simulation, some of which performing nursing duties and some playing the role of their patientÕ s family members so studentsÕ interpersonal skillsÑ which Healy says are a critical component of the professionÑ can be monitored as well.

According to Healy, one of her students recently visited her office to tell her that two days after he was faced with a simulated post-operation shock patient, he encountered the real thing in his clinical and was sufficiently prepared for the emergency situation. Ô I nailed it,Õ she recalled him saying.

The program is made up of around 220 students at any given time, and graduated students have gone on to considerable success in their licensing examsÑ the board score of the most recent batch of SUNY Adirondack students to take the test for the first time reflected a 94.4 percent success rate.

The program has articulation agreements with multiple area colleges, and graduated students have gone on to work in a number of area hospitals, including Glens Falls Hospital, Saratoga Hospital, Albany Medical Center, Ellis Hospital and hospitals within the St. Peters Network.

Healy said the rewards of nursing are largely intrinsic, and that her students come into the program with the desire to do good and to help people, but that she is glad to have a week that honors nurses for their crucial contribution to society. Ò ItÕ s nice that there is a week that celebrates all that nurses do,Ó she said.

Nurses week celebrates work of caregivers

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ As National Nurses Week begins to unfold, North Country Community CollegeÕ s nursing program leaders say they plan to pay tribute to their colleagues, take stock of accomplishments made in recent years and push forward with educating talented nurses to meet regional health needs.

Charles Van Anden, director of nursing at the college, said he sees the week as a way to celebrate the important role nurses have in many institutions, Ò not just in the hospital.Ó National Nurses Week kicks off Monday and

runs through May 12 -- the birthday of modern nursing founder Florence Nightingale. The annual celebration has been promoted by the American Nurses Association and its affiliates for decades. Besides offering patients a chance to say thank you to their caregivers, itÕ s also used to promote educational initiatives and programs that help foster the nurses of the future. In recent years, some have raised concerns that the country is struggling to meet a projected nursing shortage. Federal employment data shows that thereÕ s a shortage of approximately 500,000 nurses across the country, with many rural communities facing daunting challenges of not enough health care practitioners.

Ò (National Nurses Week) gives you a sense that people are watching and people do care what you do,Ó Van Anden said.

Officials with the North Country program point out that a nursing degree offers many interesting and diverse career paths. Graduates may work in a traditional hospital setting, but nurses could also find themselves developing health initiatives for companies or conducting consultations with patients over the phone. Ò ItÕ s a wonderful career with many opportunities,Ó Selina LeMay-Klippel, a professor of nursing at the Ticonderoga campus, said.

The North Country program has students on its campuses in Saranac, Malone and Ticonderoga. It graduates about 60 registered nurses and 70 licensed practical nurses each year.In recent years, the growth of the Ticonderoga campus, has placed nurses in a diverse range of clinical locations. Through these placements the nursing students are able to provide important aid to rural residents. Placements include the Moses-Ludington Hospital and CDPH sites in Glens Falls and Plattsburgh.

With the high demand for nurses, LeMayKlippel said most nursing program graduates are able to find immediate employment in a variety of settings.

Meredith Chapman, an associate director of admissions at the college, said nursing is one of the more popular programs at the Ticonderoga campus. The nursing student population Ò runs the gamut,Ó Chapman said. A lot of students are right out school while several others are nontraditional students looking for a new career path.

LeMay-Klippel said students who go through the nursing program are held to high standards, and they consistently exceed the average pass rates on licensing exams. Ò WeÕ ve had wonderful results,Ó she said.

The collegeÕ s program offers a students a chance to complete studies needed to earn their licensed practical nursing certificate in one year. After the first year, it transitions into a two-year registered nurse program. For more information on the collegeÕ s nursing program, visit www.nccc.edu/academics_main.aspx.

How to show a nurse you care Nurses are often the first people patients see when visiting hospitals. According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources Services Administration, there were 2.8 million registered nurses, including advanced practice RNs, and 690,000 licensed practical nurses, or LPNs, in the United States between the years of 2008 and 2010.

Nurses fill many roles in the medical community, assisting doctors and helping to make inpatient stays more comfortable

for men and women who are ill or injured. Specialized nurses, such as nurse practitioners, may even serve as the primary healthcare provider, offering diagnoses and writing prescriptions.

While there is a specific week set aside to show appreciation to nurses, many people agree that they deserve recognition throughout the year. Any instance is a good time to give back to nurses, and the following are a few ways to honor the nurses in your life.

Play caretaker to him or her.

Nurses tend to the needs of others all the time, but some nurses do not get the respite they deserve. Those who want to show appreciation to a nurse who has helped them in their lives can present the nurse with a gift card for a massage and soothing spa treatment.

Cater a meal. Offer to cater a meal at the hospital or medical office so that all nurses on staff can benefit. If there is one nurse in particular you want to treat, give that nurse a gift card to a nearby restaurant.

Provide foot relief. Nurses spend hours on their feet, and that can cause pain or stiffness throughout the body. Present a gift card to a store that specializes in comfort shoes or custom orthotics. A certificate for a pedicure or foot massage would no doubt be appreciated as well.

Create a charmed existence.

Charm bracelets are the rage right now, and nurses may appreciate a bracelet that highlights their career path with specific charms. For something they can wear on the job, treat nurses to a Steth-o-Charm¨ , which is a charm that slides securely onto stethoscopes. These charms come in many designs and can make for a memorable gift.

Give verbal or handwritten thanks. One of the easiest and most heartfelt ways to show your appreciation to nurses is to simply tell them how you feel. Offer a handwritten note or speak with a nurse in person.

Such a simple gesture does not take much effort, but it is bound to make an impact.

Balanced talent yields a winning season for the Burghers Softball holds a 4-1 record as of late April; 9-8 loss in opener the team’s only setback

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ The Varsity softball team of Warrensburg High School has compiled an admirable record several weeks into a season cut short by lingering winter weather.

As of April 27, the Burghers were 4-1 overall and 2-1 in the Adirondack League.

While other teams depend heavily on their pitcher to stifle their opponentsÕ offense, the Burghers rely not only on solid and savvy pitching from Bethaney Galusha, but also on strong defense across the entire team roster, coach Teresa Colvin said Monday. Ò Bethany really works the corners of the strike zone. She may not have really fast pitches, but she definitely gets the job done,” Colvin said of the Burgher Junior.

“And our fielding is strong enough that we can back her up — thatÕ s how we play,Ó she continued.

On April 27, the Burghers demonstrated these attributes, defeating Fort Edward by a convincing score of 7-2.

Galusha threw a no-hitter until the top of the fifth inning, recording five strikeouts overall. On offense, Galusha hit a double, scoring two RBIs. Sophomore Brittany Frasier and Junior Erin Langworthy, a state-ranked athlete in basketball, both went three-for-four at the plate.

Against Hadley-Luzerne on April 24, the offense was just as productive, with other players stepping up for the team. The Burghers won 14-4, with Riley Fisk 4-for-5 at the plate, Erin Langworthy 3-for-5, and Jess Benoit hitting a double that scored

three runners.

On April 23, Warrensburg defeated the competitive Spa Catholic squad 7-4 behind GalushaÕ s solid pitching. As in other games this season, opposing batters intending to get to first on a walk stood and watched while the softball crossed the plate barely in the strike zone.

In the contest, Galusha nabbed five strikeouts — and hit a double. Erin Langworthy also hit a double.

Galusha is aided in her 2015 campaign Ñ her second year on the mound Ñ by new catcher Starr Hughes, who stepped into the position this year after the graduation of the talented Makayla Baker. Ò Starr is doing a really good job Ñ not much gets by her,Ó Colvin said.

In non-league game April 15 against rival Lake George, the Burghers also applied their winning combination of savvy defense, productive batting and shrewd base-running. Warrensburg won this away game 6-1.

Warrensburg held Lake George Ñ which boasts a legendary softball program Ñ to no hits and no runs until the 6th inning.

Connecting for a flurry of singles, Warrensburg scored three runs in the first stanza and three in the seventh. Frasier tallied two RBIs. Senior Michaela Nissen twice bunted for a base hit, keeping the Lake George defense on their toes.

In their opening game April 14 against North Warren, the Burghers lost 9-8 after committing 15 errors. Coach Colvin attributed the weak start to playing on grass for the first time in a year due to the lingering winter.

Colvin noted that a major factor in the teamÕ s success this year

is the playersÕ versatility Ñ a number of them have been moved around and are performing well in new positions. Langworthy moved from first base to third, to take advantage of her strong, accurate throws. At third, Langworthy replaced Kerrigan Roth, a multi-sport athlete who graduated last June.

The players’ versatility has also been helpful in filling the void left by the sidelining of veteran shortstop Liz Turner, an All-Star athlete who injured her knee this year in basketball. Heather Wood moved into the position, and sheÕ s working hard to learn the strategies of her new post, Colvin said. Joining Wood with a strong presence in the infield is Catie Baker at second base.

Veteran ballplayer Senior Aineen Callahan, now playing center field, provides strong leadership in the outfield, the coach added.

Colvin said one of the strengths of the team is the playersÕ chemistry, anticipating each otherÕ s moves and working in sychronicity to get the job done.

This teamwork is due to a core group of players who have logged years of playing field hockey, basketball and softball together.

The 2015 Burgher softball team is following in the footsteps of the 2014 squad that compiled quite a favorable season record Ñ 9-2 in the highly competitive Adirondack League and 12-3 overall. The 2014 BurgherÕ s achievement was a remarkable feat considering that the top team in the league, Fort Ann, went on to win its second state championship.

Colvin predicted her 2015 team will continue its strong campaign in the league as well as participate in post-season play.

“We’ll definitely be in Sectionals again, and we’ll make a strong showing,Ó she said.

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden One Hundred Years Ago – May, 1915 Disastrous conflagrations at Bolton

At the village of Bolton Landing, an April Saturday night and Monday morning proved to be disastrous as fire on these two occasions destroyed two dwellings, one being a bungalow built during the past winter on the Knauth estate and the other owned

by Mrs. Sheridan Finkle and occupied by Dr. C.S. Wilson.

The first fire broke out about midnight Saturday and before anything could be done to combat the flames the structure was a mass of ruins. The bungalow, which was to be occupied by John Tabor on May 1, 1915, was erected during the past winter. The loss, partly covered by insurance, will amount to about $2,000.

Mr. Tabor had moved a small amount of his furniture into the building, all of which was lost. It is thought by some that the fire was caused by an overheated furnace.

Second Bolton structure burns

The rapid ringing of the Baptist and Methodist church bells awakened the Bolton villagers for the second time about 3 oÕ clock Monday morning when they found, to their horror, that yet another fire was raging in their midst.

The house, owned by Mrs. Sheridan Finkle and occupied by Dr. F. L. Wilson, was discovered to be on fire by Nelson Ormsby, who promptly aroused the neighbors.

Dr. Wilson was alone in his room upstairs, his wife being away on a visit with her parents in Baltimore, when he discovered the presence of smoke and in attempting to go downstairs, found it to be so dense as to render his passage out impossible. Returning to his room, the doctor pulled the bedspread up to the window, knotted the sheets into a rope, threw one of his two cats out of the window and carrying the other in his arm, slid down to the ground in safety.

The doctor was but partly dressed, but had managed to throw a suit of clothes out of the window. His desk, piano and three or four chairs were taken from the lower rooms, the other furnishings being lapped up by the hungry flames. The house, practically a new one, was totally destroyed entailing a loss of about $7,500, partially covered by a $3,000 insurance policy. Dr. WilsonÕ s loss amounts to about $1,500.

No cause for the fire can be found as there was no electric lights turned on when the fire broke out and no wind was blowing. The fire is said to have been started in the bay window of the dining room away from the stove and away from the small coal fire in the furnace. This is the fourth fire within two weeks in Bolton and villagers have become nervous.

Fire at Riverside

A spark from the smokestack of the Riverside Distributing CompanyÕ s bottling house, lodging in the shingle roof of the adjoining building belonging to the plant, Monday afternoon, started a fire which destroyed five buildings and practically all of their contents, including the main building of the works, the large barn and ice house and the homes of William J. and Jerry T. McCarthy who, with Joseph Martin, comprise the membership of the corporation. The loss will aggregate about $25,000, partially covered by insurance. The plant was entirely wiped out.

There was no suspicion of incendiarism.

Carried by a high, sharp wind, sparks from the burning buildings were carried across the Hudson River which set fire to the forest on the camp-meeting grounds of the Riverside Grove Association and the flames swept through the dry leaves with such rapidity that Carpenter Mountain, in the rear of the campmeeting grounds, was soon a mass of flames. About fifty cottages in the Riverside grove were greatly endangered, but were saved through the exertions of a large body of firefighters who had come from all directions in response to the alarm and telephone calls for aid. The Hudson River at that point is about 300 feet

wide and the grounds are on its bank.

Forest Ranger R.T. Armstrong, of Johnsburgh, took charge of the fight on the forest lands and had a force of about thirty-five men to assist him. About 350 acres of valuable timber lands were swept by the fire, owned mostly by H.F. Stanley of Riverside.

Charlie Cole dies at Lake George

Charlie Cole, 53, many years a prominent resident of Glens Falls, died at 4:30, the morning of April 25, 1915 in his home at Lake George. He was engaged in the feed and grain business as a member of the firm of Selleck & Cole.

About a week ago, while on an automobile ride on the River Road he contracted a cold and he later became seriously ill when pneumonia set in. Mr. Cole was born in Hudson Falls, the only descendant of Charles and Anna Cole Thompson. Internment was made in the Union Cemetery, Hudson Falls.

Isaac Worden deceased

Isaac Worden, 82, who spent the greater part of his life a resident of Lake George, died there, Monday morning, May 6, 1915, at 11:30 oÕ clock at the home of his son, Frank H. Worden. He was married to Helen F. Holley who died in 1900 and at his demise he left a widow, his second wife, and one daughter, Mrs. Stewart D. Brown.

He was the son of Thomas J. and Hannah Cummings Worden and the brother of Mrs. Jennie Patten. For many years Mr. Worden was a prominent contractor and builder and was also caretaker of the old Fort William Henry Hotel when it was owned by T. Roessle & Son in the nineteenth century. The Rev. E.L. Miller officiated at his burial in the Lake George Union Cemetery.

Excitement at Kenyontown

While returning from Warrensburgh with a 120 gallon tank full of kerosene oil for Sanford Kenyon, in North Thurman, Easue Baker discovered a leak and he made a record breaking run to the store where the oil was hastily transferred to another tank and most of it was saved. (Note Ð It was Mr. BakerÕ s good fortune that no one dropped a lighted match on that trail of kerosene oil on the ground or he might not have arrived at the Kenyontown store in one whole piece.)

Free at last

Fred W. Savage, of Granville, is a free man at last, the court having ordered his release from the Ogdensburgh state hospital for the insane after a long fight.

He is now employed as a salesman for the Hood Rubber Company of Boston. He was confined to the asylum following a heated dispute with the company over a patent.

Lake George notes

Mrs. Luther Hammond, on March 30, 1915, gave birth to an eight pound baby boy. Mrs. Ernest Irish, on April 8, 1915, delivered a nice nine pound boy.

E.R. Ziebach, of Lake George, has sold his farm on the Luzerne Road. Ralph Shaw has purchased the Truman Hammond property in Batesville and after he improves it he will rent it.

Chestertown area briefs

The Rising House, in Chestertown, has been under process of rather extensive repairing of late by Olney Potter. (Note Ð Mr. Potter must have done a good job because now, after a hundred years, that historic old house is still there standing, tried and true.)

Jesse ThurstonÕ s mill has been running full time. Logs are being cleared from the rocks in Tannery Creek, Starbuckville.

A barn, not of recent construction, but substantial, on what is known as the Moses Hedges farm, has been dismantled and removed to Ambrose WaddellÕ s home grounds. Mrs. Minnie

Reirden has assumed the position of night operator in the Chestertown telephone office.

Edwin Jones, of Riverbank, while chopping in his woods, was struck by a falling tree and quite badly injured.

Over in Adirondack, W.P. PorterÕ s men have been helping Forest Duell in erecting his new house.

A dance was held in Adirondack at Addison BlairÕ s place for the Episcopal Mission, which was largely attended. Just before supper little Miss Zelda Daure, of Chestertown, rendered the songs, “Tipperary” and “Remember Your Mother, Tom,” in a most pleasing manner. Proceeds of $11.75 were taken in.

News near and far

In sports, the New York Highlanders have been renamed Yankees. Chicago’s Weeghman Park has been renamed Wrigley Field.

Millionaire Vincent Astor has purchased a two passenger flying boat for his personal use and he and Mrs. Astor will make trial flights with it from the Hudson River near Ferncliff, their home at Rhinebeck, New York.

Philip E. Rice and Frank Hastings are circulating a petition among the Warrensburgh taxpayers of the proposed fire district in this town to further the project of providing adequate protection of village property against fire.

The Warrensburgh Garage sold a Saxon runabout to C.H. Chambers of Troy. Another carload of Saxons is expected daily at the garage.

William Lillibridge has sold his Indian motorcycle, 1914 model, to a Glens Falls party. Mr. Lillibridge has no more time for buzz wagons as he began operating his popcorn and peanut wagon recently.

A daughter was born to Mrs. Rex Stone at their home, the Hoag farm, on the Thurman Road. (Note Ð This farm was later called SitÕ nÕ Bull Dude Ranch when Jack Arehart owned it years later.)

Mrs. Cora Merrill and daughter, Corallie, of Bakers Mills, went to Blue Ridge where they will cook during the log driving season.

Miss Laura Raymond has purchased the H.H. Hill property on King Street. The house is a two-family structure. N.J. Kenyon, who resides there, is moving to Stony Creek.

Ministry protects heads with helmets

WARRENSBURG Ñ North Country Ministry, in their continuing effort to help and protect children, will start a new program this spring. The program will promote bicycle safety though education and the issuance of free bicycle helmets. The program, funded by the National Traffic Safety Administration with a grant from the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee, hopes to limit the seriousness of bicycle crashes by encouraging the wearing of bicycle helmets and safe riding techniques.

The program is run by Joe Klewicki who also oversees North Country MinistryÕ s ChildrenÕ s Car Seat Program.

Joe credits wearing a bicycle helmet to saving his life in a serious bicycle crash and points out that there are over 500,000 bicycle crashes annually. Helmets are required to be worn by all children, Joe also points out that New York law can impose a $50 fine to the parent of any child under the age of 14 not wearing a bicycle helmet.

To qualify for a free helmet, parents must be residents of North Country MinistryÕ s service area in Warren County and meet financial requirements. The bicycle helmet must be fitted to the individual child. Evening and afternoon hours are available at our Warrensburg Center, 3933 Main Street. Any parent who is interested should call 623-2829 for more information and to make an appointment.
