MOUNTAIN DAYS

County leaders warned to provide more court space

This Week LAKE GEORGE

Rock and country festival coming

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com

QUEENSBURY Ñ Warren County is now under pressure to provide additional office and conference space for its various courts Ñ and delays to take action could cost local taxpayers dearly, county executives warned county supervisors July 29.

Although court functions and proceedings at the county Municipal Center have been conducted under cramped conditions Ñ and supervisors have been talking about providing adequate space for a decade Ñ nothing has yet been done to relieve the overcrowded conditions.

In January, the county judges met with county supervisors and warned of potentially disastrous consequences if more space wasnÕ t provided soon. They talked of abusers an armslength away from victims at court proceedings, prisoners in close proximity with children, a lack of private conference space, even court staff at risk of attack.

Major rock and country music festival to debut in Lake George

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ A twoday music festival with nationally known groups Ñ is to be held in the Charles R. Wood Park in September, Lake George Village Mayor Robert Blais and concert promoters announced with fanfare July 29.

Called Ò The American Music Festival for the Lake,Ó the event is to be held Saturday Sept. 20 and Sunday Sept. 21 and is expected to draw four or five thousand people to Lake George on the weekend when the 42nd annual Adirondack Balloon Festival is to be held nearby in Queensbury.

Proceeds from the event are to be donated toward protecting the environmental health of the lake, Mayor Robert Blais said. The event is an expansion of the already popular Festival for the Lake, which in its debut last year raised more than $22,000 for the SAVE Lake George Partnership, a organization spearheading an effort to curb aquatic invasive species.

Eric Siy of the Fund for Lake George, one of the leading local environmental organizations, praised the festival for raising awareness and money for initiatives to preserve and enhance lake health. Ò Were very excited about this festival,Ó Siy said. Ò This kind of connection between the local economy and the protection of the lake is exactly the prescription we need to assure the lasting health of Lake George,Ó he said.

In a press conference Tuesday July 29, Lake George Mayor Robert Blais announces a major new music festival coming to Lake George this September. Backing up Blais are festival production manager Dave Ehmann (left rear) of Improv Records and music festival manager Sam Bottini (right rear) of the Putnam Den club in Saratoga Springs.

Journal Editorial

Overtime costs, shift changes A and a missing person

L

eading up to 4th of July weekend the Warren County SheriffÕ s Department led an investigation of a missing boater off the shores of the town of Hague.

Most of the readers in our southern circulation are familiar with the story of William Scott. For those that may not be, here is the history in brief; Scott, of Westerlo, New York, went missing July 1 when the boat he was riding in with two other men capsized. The initial call for emergency response came in to Warren County Emergency services at approximately 10 a.m. The Warren County SheriffÕ s Department arrived on scene within 30 minutes of the initial call and spearheaded the search for the missing man. Rescue efforts included a state police helicopter, Lake George Park Commission boats and staff including scuba units from Warren and Saratoga counties. The search went on for four days, and on Friday, July 4 divers recovered ScottÕ s body.

Denton Publications enlisted a staff reporter to cover the search efforts, and, as a result, many questions stemmed from the handling of the initial critical hours of the rescue. By 6 p.m. July 1, the Warren County SheriffÕ s boat patrol left the scene and the search did not resume until 9 a.m. the following morning. Why, with three hours left of daylight within the first 12 hours of a search, would efforts be called off so early? Sunrise the following day was at 5:17 a.m. so why did search efforts not resume until 9 a.m.?

Is it staffing issues? Overtime costs? Were efforts made to ask other departments to assist?

These are the questions we have been asking ourselves since.

In late June, Warren County SheriffÕ s Department announced changes to their boat patrol program. Sheriff Bud York hired seven retired police officers to work part-time for the department, manning boat patrols on the lake and other smaller tributaries in the area. In an interview with the Glens Falls Post Star, York stated that, “this will allow the full-time officers, who served on the boat patrol, to stay on the road cutting overtime costs for the department.Ó In the same interview, York also said, Òt his should allow for more complete coverage of the busy lake because the boat patrol officers won’t be juggling road shifts as well. We will have coverage on the lake for all of the firework shows.”

During the same time period, the Ticonderoga Police Department was stripped of nearly half its

force when three officers accepted lateral transfers into the Warren County SheriffÕ s Department.

Staffing for the department doesn’t appear to be an issue.

That leaves overtime costs. In 2012, the department was taken to task by the Warren County Board of Supervisors over overtime costs incurred by officers working events in the region.

In the report, provided by then SheriffÕ s Maj. C. Shawn Lamouree, $101,000 in overtime costs were a result of officer presence at local events that did not provide reimbursement to the department.

It is our understanding that a majority of the department work 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. shifts. This would explain the sheriffÕ s prompt departure from the Hague scene at 6 p.m, allowing adequate time to return their boat to its proper location, secure the equipment and clock out for the day right around 7 p.m.

In a search with these parameters, the first day is normally considered to be a rescue attempt and information provided to the SheriffÕ s Department was that Scott left the vessel with a life preserver. It would be a fair assumption to believe that after eight hours he still may have been alive, especially considering the last visual sighting of the man was of him above water.

It may have been the collective decision of the SheriffÕ s Department to leave the scene vacant in order to save on overtime costs, but other options were certainly at play. In rescue attempts throughout the region, other local emergency personnel have been called in to assist when time limitations of divers or above waters efforts were exhausted. Groups such as the state police dive team or water rescue teams from fire departments throughout the region are utilized. Other options could have included aerial rescue efforts and local fire and rescue units that have active boats on the water including Hague, Bolton and Horicon, among others.

Weeks later, there is certainly no way of knowing if the search had continued past 6 p.m. July 1 if the outcome would have been different.

Nevertheless, if the possibility exists of finding a living person rather than a body, shouldnÕ t every last effort be exhausted in doing so, regardless of cost? ÑD

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden

One Hundred Years Ago – August, 1914 War raises its ugly head

The assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand, 50, nephew of the Emperor Francis Joseph 1st and heir apparent to the Austro-Hungarian throne and the Duchess Sophie of Hohenberg, 45, his wife, on June 28, 1914, by a young nationalist, Serbian student Gavrilo Princip, who emptied a revolver at them while they were driving in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia, has had repercussions heard around the world.

The assassin was guarded by the police from an angry crowd.

A bomb was also hurled by a workingman at their carriage previous to the shooting, injuring six persons, which included Count Boos Waldeck and Colonel Merizzi. Sarajevo is under martial law. The aged emperor is reported practically prostrated by the shock of the assassination. (Note Ð This black day in world history sparked the beginning of untold misery and bloodshed. One month later after the incident, July 23, 1914, Austria-HungaryÕ s list of demands was ignored and SerbiaÕ s refusal to agree to the ultimatum led to World War I. A total of 65 million men would eventually serve in the armies, an estimated 10 million would be killed, many died from lethal mustard gas, and double that number was wounded. The super hero, T.E. Lawrence of Arabia played a starring role in this war.

The conflict involved every major power in the world and totally changed the face of Europe. The war ended in 1918.)

Disastrous daring feat

Glorying in his foolhardy daring, George Sexton, 21, dove from the roof of the Mohican Hotel, at Uncas, into Lake George, a distance of about eight feet. The water where he made his plunge was only about five feet deep and he struck the bottom with great force.

Though he was not rendered unconscious by the shock, young SextonÕ s body was completely paralyzed from the shoulders down and he was unable to rise to the surface. His brother, Howard Sexton, who was with several other youths, was a member of the bathing party and went to the rescue and carried him ashore.

He was taken to his room at the hotel where he was attended to

by Dr. C.K. Burt of Lake George and Dr. Cummings of Ticonderoga. Though free from pain his condition has remained unchanged since the accident and there is little hope of his recovery.

Man sinks to a watery grave

While bathing in the Hudson River about three Ð fourths of a mile above the fifth platform, the afternoon of Aug. 12, 1914, Garfield Brice, 30, who resided with his mother, Mrs. Miller, 95 Saratoga Avenue, South Glens Falls, was drowned. The body was recovered that night in five feet of water about thirty feet from the shore, by Herbert Cossey. It is believed that Brice either waded beyond his depth, as it is said that he could not swim, or was seized with cramps. The young man was alone at the time.

Brice left his home shortly after two oÕ clock and an hour later he was seen in the water by Mrs. Wesley Lewis who has a camp in that vicinity. About three oÕ clock a passerby found the young manÕ s clothing and a towel and soap, but saw no evidence of the owner. He went to the Miller home and asked if Brice had returned and he was informed that he had not yet returned. A searching party was formed and at 10:30 p.m. the body was recovered and taken to the Miller home.

Brice was a collector of antiques and a young man of good habits.

Caldwell supervisor’s wife dead

Harriet White Worden, 43, wife of Edwin J. Worden, supervisor of Caldwell, died at noon on July 31, 1914 in the Hotel Worden, Lake George, where she had been ailing for the past several years. Mrs. Worden was beloved by an unusually large circle of friends and her death came as a sudden blow.

Mr. and Mrs. Worden were married in Lake George, June 6, 1894, a few days after he had assumed the management of what was known as the Worden and Arlington hotels. During her husbandÕ s successful career as a hotel proprietor, she was his principal assistant, his inspiration and aid in the launching of each new and successful idea. Unusual business ability for a woman, a kindly heart and great generosity were the more prominent traits of her nature.

Harriet Worden was a granddaughter of the late Captain Edward White, pilot of the Lily M. Price, one of the big Lake George boats formerly in use until twenty years ago. Her father, Alonzo White and her sister, Miss Mae White, survive her. Internment was in the Lake George Cemetery. (Note Ð The Hotel Worden, on Canada Street, Lake George, went by that name until the late 1940Õ s. It was later called Hotel Lake George when it burned in 1978.)

Smith Lumber Company sued

At a recent meeting of the Lake George Association, the navigation committee was empowered to engage counsel and commence action against the Smith Lumber Company of Ticonderoga for an alleged violation of the law prohibiting the rafting of logs through Lake George after April 1st.

Motorboats have on several occasions crashed into the rafts in the dark and stray logs floating about the lake are also a continual source of danger to motor craft. Officers of the association for the ensuing year were elected as follows, Harry W. Hayden, William K. Bixby, Dr. Charles O. Kimball, Albert L. Judson and Edward A. Knight.

Local train derailed

An unusually heavy locomotive and one car of a heavily loaded freight train were derailed at 10 oÕ clock Monday morning, July 20, 1914, while running into the Warrensburgh station. The weight of the locomotive caused the spikes to loosen and spreading rails was the cause of the accident. The wrecking crew was summoned from Saratoga Springs.

Igerna post office closed

Acting upon orders from the post office department in Washington, Post Master Andrew Loveland of Igerna closed his office permanently and retired from the government service. The little hamlet in the northern part of the town of Chester is now without a post office and the residents must arrange to get their mail at the office most convenient to them. Olmstedville will probably accommodate the greater number while others will probably go to North Creek. Some time ago a petition was sent to Washington, D.C. by the residents to secure a rural free delivery route but the application was denied.

There is much indignation among the farmers and other residents who are greatly inconvenienced by the drastic order and a strong effort will be made to have the matter righted.

Looking back at history

It was just ten years ago, Aug. 1, 1904, that a very severe storm hit this area and the eye of the storm fell directly on Stony Creek

and it was the worst storm to hit there in recorded history. Fourteen inches of rain fell in four hours and the thunder and lightening made many people believe that Armageddon, the great Day of Judgment, had at last arrived. Starting at 4 oÕ clock with a steady downpour, the rain continued into the night causing streams and brooks to overflow with water gushing down mountainsides and transforming meadows into lakes.

The Stony Creek dam gave way and piles of lumber were swept from HallÕ s Mill which carried heavy chunks of debris downstream and knocked out the supports of the Collins House Hotel at Creek Centre, whacking into bridges along the way. The rear end of the hotel, the foundation gone, slid into the creek and crashed. Oil lamps were burning in the windows and local marksmen shot out the lights with their firearms to prevent fire.

One hotel guest jumped from the hotel piazza’s second floor to save his life. Two large holes were washed out of the bank alongside the railroad track not far from CameronÕ s boarding house.

Ten miles away from Creek Centre, at George ThomsonÕ s farm, lightening struck the barn and all of his nineteen cows were shocked and four of them died. A cow fell on one of GeorgeÕ s sons and two of the boyÕ s ribs were broken. One workman in the barn was knocked unconscious by the lightening.

No lives were lost because of the storm but it was an event never to be forgotten by those who lived through it.

News near and far

It was just 131 years ago, July 21, 1783, that George Washington visited Crown Point, New York.

It was just one hundred years ago, Aug. 24, 1814, in the War of 1812 that British troops burned Washington, D.C., but were forced back to Baltimore. They burned the White House before they left.

One half of the new Glens Falls Ð South Glens Falls bridge, over the Hudson River, was opened to traffic at 4 o’clock, the afternoon of July 31, 1914, the first vehicle to cross being the automobile owned by L. Gyle Willson, superintendent of the South Glens Falls International Paper CompanyÕ s plant, carrying four employees of the Callanan & Prescott Company.

Mrs. George Baden, 26, formerly Miss Bessie Harrington, of Warrensburgh, died of peritonitis on Saturday morning, June 27, 1914, after a long and painful illness, at her home in Kingsbury.

She was the daughter of Andrew Harrington.

James W. Cameron had a stroke of paralysis at 2:30, the afternoon of July 22, 1914, while sitting on his front piazza on River Street, Warrensburgh. He lives with his son, D.E. Cameron and was attended by Dr. J.M. Griffin.

Campbell Conway, foreman of the cutting room in the Warrensburgh Woolen CompanyÕ s trousers factory on Milton Avenue, Warrensburgh, was taken ill suddenly while at work Tuesday morning, July 21, 1914. He was taken to his home nearby and Dr. J.M. Griffin was summoned and diagnosed the trouble as gall stones.

Mrs. Frank B. Archibald arrived from New York to spend several weeks with her mother, Mrs. John L. Russell at Bonnie Brae Villa. (Note Ð The grand old mansion once stood behind todayÕ s Warrensburg post office. The house, later called Chalet Swiss, burned in 1980 but the barn is still there.)

There will be an ice cream social at the Baptist parsonage in Kenyontown, Thurman.

Letters to the Editor

WiFi in the Adirondacks?

To the Adirondack Journal: I donÕ t want to appear that IÕ m deliberately trying to hog your Letters to the Editor feature, but I can speak both as a 50-year Adirondack trout fisherman, and as a website creator with 14 years of experience with WiFi in the Adirondacks.

I live in California and go trout fishing in the Adirondacks every year. I want and expect quiet and solitude in a rustic Adirondack setting where I can Ò get away from it allÓ and enjoy the pleasures of trout and steelhead fishing in a pristine setting.

I also run ads on multiple websites and spend several hours maintaining these websites every day that I am in the Adirondacks. ItÕ s safe to say that I am crippled in this work if I donÕ t have Internet access. A general lack of WiFi availability together with, at best, sporadic cell phone access has always been a problem for me.

Recently, however, WiFi access and telephone access has greatly improved with almost all motels and many restaurants offering free WiFi, and some, free long distance telephone service. Essentially, there is no serious lack of Internet access any more for persons who need it.

However, primarily for convenience reasons, I cannot see myself working several hours every day on the banks of the Hudson, Indian River, Mill Creek or the Boreas RiverÐ even if WiFi was available.

If it comes to an either/or choice, I have to align myself with those persons who would limit WiFi to campgrounds only or none at all.

Personally, I feel that staying Ó always connectedÓ does a great disservice to the Adirondack experience. Adirondack campgrounds are where outdoor enthusiasts should be able to find unmolested solitude.

Many years ago, in Yosemite Park before the Internet, motor home people Ò stayed connectedÓ by crowding the CB radio spectrum so badly that there were essentially no open channels available for new conversations!!!! If ubiquitous WiFi becomes a reality in the Adirondacks, you can expect similar massive enter-

tainment usage, not the occasional business usage.

I would hate to see this happen in the Ó Forever WildÓ Adirondacks. The Adirondacks are not a Mall where people can go to text and connect.

David Safrany Half Moon Bay, Calif.

Climate debate continues To the Adirondack Journal: ThereÕ s been controversy in recent months brought on by believers in Al GoreÕ s extremist views of climate who advocate that opposing views should be censored by newspapers. TheyÕ ve recommended that people should consult websites such as Realclimate and Skeptical Science for climate information.

Critics caution that the Realclimate website is the creation of Environmental Media Services (EMS), whose co-founder/ president, Arlie Schardt, served GoreÕ s presidential campaigns as national press secretary in 1988 and communications director in 2000. EMS was co-founded by, and is the communications arm of, Fenton Communications of Washington D.C., sharing the same suite of offices. Fenton Communications is a leading PR firm for left-wing advocacy groups, and expressly declines Ò clients and projects that we donÕ t believe in ourselves.Ó ItÕ s been criticized for serving Marxist-Leninist regimes in Central America and Africa, pro-Democrat PACs and campaigns against gun-ownership rights.

Richard Lindzen, professor of Atmospheric Science at MIT, has criticized EMS for specifically recruiting scientists who were already known activists for human-caused global warming to organize the Realclimate website to Ò discredit any science or scientists that questioned catastrophic global warming. The website serves primarily as a support group for believers in catastrophe, constantly reassuring them that there is no reason to reduce their worrying.Ó Critics point out that Skeptical Science is a climate alarmist website created by Australian John Cook, who likes to wear Nazi uniforms. HeÕ s described himself by saying Ò IÕ m not a clima-

tologist or a scientist, but a self-employed cartoonist.Ó He works from his home in Brisbane. He has no prior employment in academia or climate science but was inspired by GoreÕ s Ò An Inconvenient Truth.Ó HeÕ s been contacted by Gore about a potential partnership using his website.

Cook was instrumental in fabricating the phony Ò 97 percent consensusÓ by falsely reviewing and misclassifying hundreds of scientific climate-related papers, a task which, by his own admission, he’s not qualified to perform. Yet alarmists like to challenge the credentials of anyone who disputes Gore, ignoring GoreÕ s own lack of credentials in climate science, and ignoring the admission by IPCC scientist William Schlesinger that fewer than 20% of IPCC scientists have any academic involvement with climate.

So with the Realclimate and Skeptical Science websites, you can choose climate information from those with Marxist-Leninist or Nazi proclivities. Censorship, of course, is standard with either one, and both of these websites refuse to publish anything that does not promote climate alarmism.

Notice:CandidateEndorsements

As we approach the upcoming election season we want to make an important distinction regarding candidate endorsements. With a free distribution in excess of 60,000 homes, our papers are inundated every election cycle with candidate endorsements. The only source of revenue our community publications receive to offset the cost of print, delivery and overhead is paid notices and advertisements. All candidate endorsements must now run either in the form of an advertisement or a paid endorsement notice and include the name of the individual making the endorsement. The paid endorsement notice can be purchased for $15 for up to 50 words, or .25 cents per word thereafter. A paid advertisement will be based on standard advertising rates taking into consideration size and frequency according to the current rate card at the open advertising rate. For rates call Shannon at 873-6368 ext 201 or email shannonc@denpubs.com.

Pets and produce

Having a pet instills a feeling of joy and companionship and for most, it is vital to do everything possible to keep animals safe and healthy in their home environment. As a dog owner, I often wonder if what Andy is allowed to eat in regards to human food is beneficial or detrimental to his health. After reading Eating Well magazine, the top eleven fruits and vegetables for pets have been instrumental in diet. Listed by quantity, here is a rough list of the recommendationsÑ 1/8 cup carrot slices, • cup chopped broccoli and green peppers, • cup cucumber slices, half of a medium peach, 1 cup of chopped zucchini, one large strawberry and celery stalk, three asparagus spears, six watermelon balls, and twelve blueberries.

Avocado, chocolate, garlic, grapes, onion, and raisins are not recommended as they can be potentially toxic. Please remember that animals do not digest food in the same way humans do, so be careful and aware of what is fed to the pet(s) you own to ensure a happy and healthy life!

Ever wonder what to do with a finished newspaper? Here are some suggestions that have proved to be beneficial for many people.

Number one - Cut out strips or pages leaving a hole for seeds to grow through and place in gardening area. Cover the paper with a thin layer of dirt, plant your seeds and this will make the process of weeding much easier when the plant begins to grow. Number two- Place a scrap in a covered dish or container for a day to remove any odor left after washing. Number three- In winter months, cover a vehicleÕ s windshield overnight to avoid ice build-up in the morning.

Back on track A

fter a few months of skipping out on providing my regular weekly columns, I am finally back on track.

I wasnÕ t goofing off, as most would expect of me, I was attending to family matters.

I appreciate all of the cards, letters and emails from old friends, new friends and other friends of my brother Õ s who took the time to write, call and email to share their stories of his adventures with me.

Following his recent passing, IÕ ve been spending a majority of my time in the woods and on the waters, where fish have been biting as regularly as the deer flies and the punkies that seem to constantly orbit my noggin.

The local woods and waters are certainly a therapeutic environment. I guess it is because itÕ s easy to forget your troubles when there is so much activity constantly going on all around you.

ThereÕ s nothing more reassuring than watching a stunning sunset, as it dresses up the mountainside with a warm alpenglow, to confirm there is something much grander when we finally go off to the great beyond. IÕ ve heard it described as GodÕ s Country IÕ ve often noticed it, but I guess I appreciate it more now than ever, Ò Up in the mountains, so still it make you scared; where God lies waiting in his great white beard.Ó Orson Ò Old MountainÓ Phelps, a legendary Adirondack guide who hailed from Keene Valley explained the unique spiritual presence of the mountains when he explained the local scenery to Charles Dudley Warner, Ò It seems as if, .. as if the Creator had kept something just to look at himself.Ó Although I know IÕ ll never see my brother tromping through the local woods again; they will always look the same as they were when he was with us, and thatÕ s familiar enough for me.

The new Old Invasives Although I have not be able to obtain any firm scientific evidence to confirm the fact, it appears there are two old invasives on the rise in the North Woods.

In addition to such new pests as ticks, knotweed, and the potential for Spiny Water Fleas; two old menaces are currently on the rise. I know, I have found them in my own home regularly this summer and obviously so have many others.

What is a summer without ants? I donÕ t mind when they come to my picnic, but I draw the line when they so up at my dinner table. They seem to be everywhere except in the woods.

And how about all those mice? I canÕ t speak for homeowners in the Champlain Valley region, but it appears the Ò metal munching, mountain miceÓ are back in our area again.

TheyÕ ve been out in force, inside. Maybe itÕ s just all the rain that has florced they to seek a drier environment.

Many homeowners tell me theyÕ ve never experienced such an unprecedented outbreak. IÕ ve never such a break-in!

I expect to have to deal with mice in camp, especially in an old hunting camp and occasionally, a mouse in the house

when the weather turns cold.

However in recent weekÕ s, IÕ ve had to establish an extensive trap line, and I make my rounds daily.

I really donÕ t have time to deal with any potential new invasive species, since IÕ m currently busy struggling with the old ones.

Summer Season segues to Hunting Season Every year, as Autumn rolls around, I listen to a host of complaints from hunters new and old, regarding the availability of Hunter Safety Courses.

Of course, the lack of courses is not really the problem.

More often, it is a lack of attention, and Ô putting it offÕ until later.

So the potential hunters donÕ t get around to taking a class until the season arrives, and then they complain about the high cost of a new license.

Same old, same old, but this year IÕ m not going to listen.

If you want to hunt this year, and need to take a Hunter Safety Class, make plans to attend the upcoming Warren County 4th Annual Sportsman/Hunter Education Super Weekend Hosted by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Warren County, in partnership with DEC Sportsman Education volunteer instructors, the Hunter Education Classes will be offered on Saturday, Sept. 13 and Sunday, Sept. 14.

The following classes will be offered each day; Sportsman Education, Bow Hunter Education, or Trapper Education (you may choose ONE class per day, bow hunter students must have completed hunter education previous to registering for bow hunter education). Those who have

North Warren events announced by Tri-Lakes Alliance

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN Ñ A variety of summer entertainment events are planned in August and September for the towns of Chestertown and Horicon Ñ the most in recent history.

Following several recent near-sellout events at the revitalized Carol Theater, the next performance features Laura Roth, a world-class, seasoned singer, actress and comedienne featured onstage Saturday Aug. 2, according to Cindy Mead of the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance.

The Business Alliance has been responsible for establishing a wide variety of events in town as well as revitalizing commerce. Their spinoff group, the Adirondack Performing Arts Council, is now booking events for the Carol Theater, which until a few years ago was vacant and shuttered.

Tickets for RothÕ s performance are $15.

The theatrical group Shakespeare in the Raw will be performing Ò The TempestÓ Saturday Aug. 9 at 7:30 p.m.. This troupe will be presenting Ò Henry VÓ on Saturday, Aug. 23 at 7:30 p.m.

Ticket prices for either performance are $20 to $25 with witare $20 - $25 with children under 12 free.

The same venue will be hosting rock groups Last Daze and Flackjacket in concert Wednesday August 13 at 7:30 p.m. Admission is $10.

For more information on Carol Theater events, call the Performing Arts Council hotline at 494-4495.

The Tri-lakes Business Alliance has also started a biweekly series of Thursday concerts on the lawn of the Chester Municipal Center in Chestertown.

About 140 people turned out for a performance of Stony Creek Band July 24 in an installment of the Ò Music on Main StreetÓ series.

Upcoming performances in this series include the Steven L. Smith Band on Aug. 7 with

their hard-driving country rock, and the Master Cylinders with their straight-ahead rock music.

Both concerts are free and occur from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m..

In other news from the Business Alliance, their benefit golf tournament July 26 had nine foursomes participating and the proceeds from the event were about $2,500.

Alliance officials expressed appreciation to Doug OÕ Brien, Penni Cargioli, Ron Walker and all the businesses who donated raffle items.

Rum RunnerÕ s Weekend, a smash hit in its debut last year, is scheduled for Sept. 12 through Sept. 14. This celebration of the areaÕ s prohibition-era exploits is sponsored by the Trilakes Business Alliance.

The next meeting of the committee planning the Rum Runners Weekend is to be held 5 p.m.

Aug. 6 at the Panther Mountain Inn. Plans to date call for car shows, speakeasy nights, restaurant specials, a Babe Ruth Baseball competition, a vaudeville show at the Carol

Theater, a bootleggerÕ s car chase over Landon Hill and a Charleston dance contest Ñ all popular aspects of the events last year.

New for 2014 is a scavenger hunt that features participantsÕ progress displayed on the Internet as they visit Ò Mystery 1920 locationsÓ around town. The website is to be developed by Adam Parish of Amps Computer Service.

Business Alliance members noted at their recent meeting that an impromptu Bike Hop was held at the Panther Mountain Inn on July 18 with 22 motorcycles participating. The Alliance members voted to sponsor such motorcycle shows in the future.

A brand new event announced this week by the Alliance officials is Adirondack Shindig, set for Saturday Aug. 9 in the hamlet of Adirondack, to be held on the same day as the 15th annual Adirondack Yard Sale. The Shindig, a community music and dance event, starts at 5 p.m.

Adirondack General Store and Mike & Kathy Hill are organizing this community event.

Warren County, 4-H Bicycle safety rodeos wrap up GLENS FALLS Ñ Warren County 4-H bicycle safety program, which is in its 35th year, held the last rodeo on June 13 at Big Cross Elementary.

This year the program reached over 1,100 youth from pre-school through fifth grade just in Warren County. The program goes to schools starting in May and runs through mid-June.

Martina Noone, the 4-H Educator for Warren County, coordinates with schools, local DPWs, the Glens Falls Police Department and Warren County SheriffÕ s Department in order to bring the program to students and local youth. This year, members of the Warren County Safe and Quality Bicycling Organization stepped forward to assist with the entire program.

The members include Bud Maddocks, Joanne Swanson, Joan Jenkin, Lloyd Mott, Cathy Biss, Trish and Harrison Freer, and Sandy Stoffolano Baker.

The Warren County SheriffÕ s Department also sends officers to the rodeos to assist and teach students the importance of bicycle safety, including K.C. Glenn, Scott Rawson, and George Carpenter.

The Glens Falls Police Department sends officers as well which include Officers Christopher Eggleston, John Norton, Zach Flewelling, Jared Smith, and Casey Gordon.

Without the help of all of the law enforcement officers and WCSQBO, the 2014 Bicycle Safety Rodeos would not have been such a success.

The FUND seeks community help on clean up day

By Mauranda Stahl

mauranda@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ Lake George residents and visitors are invited to take lake protection into their own hands by participating in the annual lake-wide cleanup day Aug. 2.

This community-supported event, titled Keep the Queen Clean, is the largest organized cleanup day on Lake George. Volunteers are encouraged to create teams of friends, family or co-workers and collect trash and other foreign debris throughout the Lake George basin. Ò Clean up day started out as a grass roots effort,Ó said Lake George Water Keeper staff member Corrina Parnapy. Ò The staff, here came up with the idea to help clean up the lake.Ó Participants are invited to pick up litter along the shoreline and streams or scuba dive and snorkel to collect debris in deeper water.

Whether by land or water, everyone can help keep the lake clean and healthy, said event coordinators.

Blue trash bags are available at The FUND’s Lake George office and local town halls. As in previous years, towns around the lake have designated locations where participants can drop-off litter at no charge. Ò In past years we have had over 100 participants during the day,Ó said Parnapy. Ò The more the better. We see mostly locals and those Saratoga-north who have a vested interest in keeping these waters clean.Ó New to the event this year will be a social media challenge offering participants the opportunity to share their photos of clean-up efforts on Facebook or Twitter using #KTQC. Prizes will be awarded for the most creative photos in the family, friends and organization/business categories.

Participants must be registered to win. One prize will be awarded per winning photograph.

Those wishing to attend are asked to make their own schedule for the day and to pre-register by visiting fundforlakegeorge.org/2014KTQC.

BOLTON LANDING. Dawn Kathleen (Gates) Macey, 90, passed away at Westmount Health Facility in Queensbury, NY at 10 p.m. on Wednesday July 23rd, 2014.

Dawn was born in Rutland, VT on June 24, 1924, to Elmer F. "Bob" Preston of Rutland, VT and Kathleen Towers Preston of Castleton, VT. Her family moved to Glens Falls, and at the age of thirteen she moved to Bolton to live with her aunt Pauline Towers Gates and Walter Ferris "Smokey" Gates in Bolton's Huddle district. She attended Bolton Central School, graduated in 1942 and continued her studies by attending the Rutland Vermont Nurses Training School.

During World War II, Dawn married William Beckers Gates of Bolton. Their wedding ceremony was held in 1944 in Castleton, VT. In 1949 Dawn and Bill opened the popular "Bill Gates Diner" on Bolton Landing's Main Street and ran it until they retired in 1981. She loved her local friends and summer customers who came to the diner and remained friends with them all her life. Their 1895 trolley car diner was later donated by family friends to the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake, NY. After thirteen years on display, it is now on loan to the Champlain Valley Transportation Museum in Plattsburgh, NY. Following retirement, Dawn, who enjoyed painting all her life, worked on her art work, as well as volunteered at the Bolton Historical Museum, was a member of the Glens Falls Hospital Guild and participated in Bolton's Book Club. She loved her four grandchildren and proudly

In January, State Supreme Court Judge David Krogmann describes to Warren County Supervisors of the spiraling caseload in the county that is causing a severe overcrowding of court facilities. Listening to Krogmann’s observations are county Family Court Judge J. Timothy Breen (left rear) and Warren County Judge John Hall (right rear). The judges warned of dire consequences likely to occur if additional court, office and conference space was not provided soon. To date, no progress has been made by county leaders to provide more office and court space, and grant monies are no longer available for court expansion, county officials said this week.

County

Continued from page 1 Making the urgent plea were Family Court Judge J. Timothy Breen, County Judge John Hall and state Supreme Court Justice David Krogmann.

July 29 Ñ seven months later Ñ no plans have materialized.

But County leaders met July 28 with Krogmann and Supreme Court Justice Robert Muller to review their space needs.

County Superintendent of Public Works Jeff Tennyson warned supervisors Tuesday of costly consequences if the county does not take action immediately toward providing more space Ñ through new construction or rearrangement and renovation of existing office space. He said that new space will be necessary by January 2016 when the state-mandated additional Family Court judge takes office. Tennyson continued that temporary space at a location other than the Municipal Center could cost the county $30,000 or more per year in rental fees.

He called for a space needs assessment, followed by an engineering study that presents options, then a decision by supervisors which would prompt final design plans, bids and construction.

Tennyson called for a court space task force to be formed within weeks to make immediate progress on the project.

Noting that normally an office space addition project would require a three-year planning and engineering process, he said that the remaining time to accomplish the various tasks was quite limited.

Tennyson also noted that although grants might have once been available through the state Office of Court Administration for construction or renovation of court space, none was apparently available now.

At TuesdayÕ s meeting, Queeensbury Supervisor-at-large Mark Westcott said he wanted all options explored before committing what could likely be several million dollars to constructing more court space. Ò IÕ m very nervous about rushing into this decision,Ó he said. Ò Although the space needs are urgent, we should proceed carefully and not rush.Ó County Facilities Committee chairman Dan Girard responded that immediate action was called for. Ò WeÕ re behind the eight-ball,Ó he said. Ò If we donÕ t proceed quickly, the cost of a temporary solution will be exorbitant.

County Administrator Paul Dusek responded that all decisions, even if made under pressure, would be based on a thorough review of options.

Adding to the space pressure might be the potential addition of another Supreme Court Judge. In January, all the judges talked about the spiraling number of cases and an increase in the complexity and duration of court proceedings as prompting the everexpanding space needs.

Tennyson said he was meeting this week with Clark Patterson Engineering firm to discuss preliminary steps on providing more space.

WWII veteran recalls Germany missions

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Ninety-three year old Earl Morrow sat in a folding chair in the shade cast by the wing of a B-17 bomber, the same type bomber he jumped out of high over Germany in 1944, only seconds before it exploded.

The World War II bomber, Sentimental Journey, is one of only seven B-17s still flight worthy out of the 12,731 produced during the war. It tours the country as part of the Commemorative Air Force Aviation Museum based in Mesa, Arizona. It and several other World War II planes tour the country keeping the memory of the war and those who fought it alive. Morrow was one of those people.

Morrow held court on the runway of the Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport in Queensbury the entire week that Sentimental Journey graced the airstrip. Though tours of the plane took place all day, it was Morrow who captivated the crowd.

Originally from the Glens Falls area, Morrow took a bus to Schnectady the day he turned 21 to enlist in the Schnectedy Aviation Cadet Program. Of the 50 or so men who enlisted in the program, only five were selected to fly. Morrow was one of the five.

After his training with the Army Air Corps, Morrow ended up in the cockpit of a B-17 Flying Fortress based out of southern England with the 457th Bomber Group. Waves of the massive bombers flying out of England were one of the factors that helped to turn the tide of the war in the European Theater.

“I flew 17 missions, I count that last one because we had already dropped our bombsÓ Morrow said. Ò Only four of those missions were flown with my own plane. The rest of the time the mechanics were fixing it because it would get all shot up.”

It was that fateful 17th mission where Morrow nearly met his end. High over eastern Germany his wave of bombers encountered German fighter planes. Morrow’s plane received numerous hits, starting a fire and seriously injuring his co-pilot. Morrow gave the order to abandon the plane.

Free falling through the German sky, he saw that the German pilots were shooting at the Americans whose parachutes had already deployed. He waited a long as he could, plumeting through the clouds until the last possible moment. Ò I pulled the cord and the parachute came out and it worked.

I hit the ground and three women came up to me, and they had pitchforks,Ó Morrow said. Ò I pulled my jacket open, and I had a .45, so they backed off.Ó He took off through the field, until other Germans came after

him with rifles. Seeing the rifles, Morrow sat down and became a prisoner of war. Ò I lost three of my boys that day when we were shot down.

The rest of us were POWs, and now IÕ m the only one left.Ó Ò You could say IÕ ve been there and done that.Ó He spent time at three different POW camps, moving steadily westward as the Soviet army advanced through Germany. At his third camp, he was liberated by General PattonÕ s army. Ò Patton came in to liberate us, and he was riding in the back of a truck. I got a salute out of the old boy. I ran up to his truck and threw up a salute, and he returned it.Ó Morrow had more stories to tell, and a constantly changing crowd of people pressed in around him to hear them. At times local World War II veterans stopped by as well to talk to Morrow and swap their own stories from the war. The hardest part about meeting Morrow many found out, is when it is time to leave.

Following the war Morrow enjoyed a 30 year career as a commercial pilot, saying he never Ò workedÓ a day his life. He was a member of a North Country Honor Flight out of Plattsburgh in September, 2013. He recalled the trip to Washington fondly, then went back to holding court about his days flying over Germany.

Sentimental Journey is on its way to its next stop, but for the hundreds of people Morrow spoke to last week, the memories of the big bombers and the boys who flew them will live on.

are attending the New York State SheriffsÕ Association InstituteÕ s 2014 Summer Camp.

The SheriffsÕ Summer Camp is designed to provide a solid recreational program combined with the development of a sense of good citizenship.

This will mark the 37th year of the campÕ s operation.

The SheriffsÕ Summer Camp, which is located near Penn Yan in Yates County, is supported by the SheriffsÕ Association InstituteÕ s Honorary Members through their contributions and annual dues.

This year the camp will accommodate over 900 deserving boys and girls from across New York State. Sheriff Nathan Ò BudÓ York stated Ò This is a great opportunity for our county youth and I personally

thank Warren County residents for donating and making this possible.Ó Sheriff Nathan Ò BudÓ York of Warren County, in discussing the objectives and goals of the camp said, the SheriffsÕ Summer Camp Program is designed to provide a child who ordinarily would not have the chance, an opportunity to go away during the summer.Ó Sheriff York pointed out that, Ò The primary objective is to create positive interaction between the kids attending camp and the Sheriffs and Deputy Sheriffs who participate in the camp programs.

We have found from experiences during the first 36 summer camps that the kids develop a renewed respect and understanding for the men

and women who enforce the laws. Ò The deputies become their friends and in some cases substitute parents for a week,Ó Sheriff York states.

Throughout the week-long stay, the children observe special exhibits and demonstrations presented by SheriffsÕ Offices from across the State.

Included in these presentations are D.A.R.E. presentations, boat and bike safety programs, law enforcement equipment and technical demonstrations, pistol and archery competitions for accuracy and even a talent show just for fun.

Upon completion of their stay, all children will be awarded a diploma for their participation in a program of Ò Good Citizenship and Law Enforcement Studies.Ó
