BOLTON LANDING Ñ As Gov. Andrew Cuomo entered the Sagamore Convention Center, many of those attending the Business CouncilÕ s 2014 annual meeting Sept. 19 stood to cheer, accept for the first person to extend their hand to the man running for re-election.

Challenger Rob Astorino.

The Republican Westchester County executive, who had addressed the members of the council the night before, made an unannounced appearance at the Cuomo speech, looking to start - or continue - a debate debacle. Ò Are you ready to debate me?Ó Astorino asked bluntly after the two candidates exchanged pleasantries.

Cuomo shook his head. Ò Get with my campaign,Ó he uttered. Ò Just tell me when and where,Ó Astorino replied.

Later in the day, the Astorino campaign issued a release stating it had exhausted all efforts to bring Cuomo to the debate dais.

During the 2013 edition of the World’s Largest Garage Sale, bargain-hunters walk up Main St. in Warrensburg. Local officials are expecting a record crowd for the sale, which offers virtually everything from dollar-store items, tools and household goods to valuable antiques and rare collectibles.

This year’s great sale, officially to be held Saturday Oct. 4 through Sunday Oct. 5, is to offer train rides for visitors seeking to avoid the traffic and parking woes — as well as a new ‘Family Fun Zone’ which features free entertainment and activities for those weary of shopping.

WARRENSBURG Ñ With the WorldÕ s Largest Garage Sale less than a dozen days away, organizers of the nationally renowned event were busy this week arranging final details so the 70,000-or-so visitors typically descending upon Warrensburg would have a pleasant experience — and the town would survive

the onslaught.

As long-range forecasts call for ideal weather from Friday Oct. 3 through Sunday October 5, Warrensburg Chamber officials expect record-breaking crowds cramming the town for a bargain hunting spree.

Early this week, officials of the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce met with law enforcement officials, who pledged to do what they could to divert Northway traffic away from the Warrensburg exit, where at

times during Garage Sale weekend, vehicles headed for the event are backed up for several miles.

This week, Chamber administrative assistant Nancy Craig was obtaining giant trash bags to line the 55-gallon drums Ñ 150 of them Ñ which will be placed around town. Visitors to the sale annually generate 25 tons of trash or more during the event.

Adirondack Shakespeare Company Begins Fall Tour

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ The Adirondack Shakespeare company may be small, they may be young, but as Shakespeare writes in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, “Though she be but little, she is fierce!”

This fully-professional acting company celebrates their fifth season this year and is bringing back a fall tour for the second year in a row.

Understanding why this company has been so successful is simple: they are fresh, they are motivated and they are real. Founders Tara Bradway and Patrick Siler remain true to their creative vision which started as just a desire for change back in 2008.

Bradway and Siler were both working as actors in Wilmington, Del. when they began to become dissatisfied with the way things were going. As an actor, one must always follow the vision the director has in mind, and often times actors donÕ t see eye to eye with the direction a production is going.

Bradway sipped on her pumpkin-spiced latte and said, Ò We were unsatisfied with the development. It felt like things were getting in the way of the story.Ó It was then and there that Tara and Patrick decided to start their own company, one that could be stripped of all the unnecessary additions and just be exactly what it was meant to be.

“We got rid of everything except the text,” said Bradway. Ò Well, no not everything,Ó Siler interjected, Ò that would just be like reading it on the radio.Ó Ò Well yes, we still wanted it to be a live theatrical production,Ó Bradway clarified.

Sitting in the sun outside a small cafe in Lake George, Bradway and Siler began to explain their vision. The next two hours flew by as the two young creative minds detailed what the Adirondack Shakespeare Company is all about. Ò Shakespeare is meant to be heard, not developed internally,Ó said Siler, as he and Bradway explained how intimidating the literature can be. Ò Shakespeare is not easy to deliver well and sometimes hard to understand. Some people just had a bad experience with it, probably in high school.Ó The two founders then began to describe that this is exactly why they do what they do. When everything is stripped away, the underlying message is then easier to understand and thus more likely to be felt. Ò We got rid of the fancy costumes,Ó said Bradway, Ò we are resourceful.Ó The Adirondack Shakespeare Company went to Home Depot for props, allowed actors to use items from their own wardrobe, and let the play speak for itself.

The traveling theater company doesnÕ t even have rehearsal times.

There is one 15 hour rehearsal period where the play is ran through by the cast but that is it. Ò It felt tired,Ó said Bradway on how regularly rehearsed plays were going, “Organic is definitely the word to describe the process.”

Bradway and Siler are all about the Ò energyÓ of their productions.

They want the interaction between cast members and the audience to feel like a naturally flowing conversation. Ò We want people to discover the play moment to moment like people discover life moment to moment,Ó Siler remarked like a true artist. Ò Our productions are Ô rawÕ , if we were using it in the cooking sense.Ó Siler continued on to break down the process in terms that were easy for a non-theater goer to understand. Ò Most things are...over-cooked. The Ô meatÕ of the story is overdone, covered with cheese and sauces.Ó The Adirondack Theater Company takes a seemingly unorthodox yet beautiful approach to something so classic as Shakespeare. These professionally trained actors, all hired out of New York City, must

know the plays through and through- so well that they are able to almost improvise as the production could take a turn at any moment. Ò Actors need to be like a verse-speaking classical theater ninja,Ó Siler said as he laughed, Ò they need to be able to move the way the play decides to move.Ó This lively take on Shakespearian drama that calls for an immense level of talent and a very specific type of actor. In order to meet these needs, Bradway and Siler have an extremely intensive audition process. The auditions last for up to an hour, whereas average theater auditions run anywhere from one to five minutes.

Actors may read a monologue if they have one prepared, but Bradway said she requires all actors to audition within a group as well. By having the characters interact with one another, Bradway is able to see how they will feed off of each other’s energy and fit the balance the company is looking for. Ò It is still weird to think that it works,Ó said Bradway.

Weird, maybe, but it definitely is working. Siler noted one of his favorite memories of a production that proved their message was getting through. During their first summer, the Adirondack Theater Company was performing Romeo and Juliet. Siler remembered a small, four year old girl who attended the play with her parents and sisters. If she didnÕ t like it, the parents said they would have to leave, but to SilerÕ s surprise, the little girl didnÕ t blink. Ò She sat riveted to every word as it happened in front of her,Ó said Siler. Ò She was completely identifying with this actor playing Juliet, who was 32 years old!” Bradway remembered and said excitedly.

After the play, Bradway and Siler said the young girl asked her father to go talk to Juliet to make sure she was okay. If a romantic classic, so rich and elaborate in language, could move a little girl, imagine how many more people will connect with this production style.

Their love for these moments and their desire for more like them have prompted Bradway and Siler to offer main stage programming for Fall 2014.

The Adirondack Shakespeare Company will present The Taming of the Shrew for the first time as well as Macbeth, paying tribute to their first season. The company will take an original approach to The Taming of the Shrew that will have audiences in stitches.

“The show is really funny but difficult to do,” said Bradway. “The way we are presenting it will attack the tough issues more easily.Ó Both Siler and Bradway seem elated to continue their busy summer into the fall. Last year’s production had an excellent turnout so the company was excited to try their hand at another fall season. Ò I donÕ t like the word Ô off-seasonÕ , I donÕ t want there to be an offseason,Ó said Bradway.

Bradway explained how the fall season lends itself to such a different experience than the company’s summertime productions. “The plays are more close-knit and we hit a different audience,Ó she said.

Ò People who are busy and working all summer can now enjoy the same great art they have been waiting for.Ó Ò There is a more locally concentrated audience in the fall,Ó added Siler, Ò the dynamic is more appreciative like Ô Oh thank goodness there is something to doÕ type of thing.Ó The company is overjoyed to welcome the crisp, fall air and the gracefully changing Adirondack landscape. Ò We can celebrate the season with harvest events,Ó said Bradway as she mentioned the upcoming Farm to Table Event. Ò The event has a really electric atmosphere,Ó continued Bradway, Ò it feels more like a festival, there is an added energy almost like a party.Ó The Farm to Table Event will kick off the fall tour and be hosted at the Whallonsburgh Grange on Friday, Oct. 3 at 6 p.m. The celebration will have a food and drink tasting of local favorites followed by a presentation of The Taming of the Shrew. Bradway says the event pays tribute to the local culture in combination with the opening show.

The Adirondack Theater Company will be performing at the Whallonsburg Grange, The Strand Theater, The Tannery Pond Community Center, The Indian Lake Theater, The Upper Jay Art Center, The Bullhouse, and The National Museum of Dance. Check their website for dates and times to view the productions.

This professional theater company gives an untraditional look at two very traditional pieces, promising audiences something nothing short of electric. The Adirondack Theater Company brings our community something progressive, original, and ground-breaking. Ò You donÕ t have to go all the way to New York City,Ó says Siler, Ò it is right here.Ó

L.G. Village leaders toughen restrictions on short-term rentals

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — In an unexpected change of course, the Lake George Village Board voted 3-2 Sept. 22 to specifically prohibit home rentals of less than six months in the village’s Residential or Residential-Mixed Use zones.

The action came as a surprise to the audience at the boardÕ s Ò workshopÓ meeting, as the board had been immersed in a lengthy discussion about liberalizing the village’s existing zoning regulations on renting homes or rooms in residential zones.

Expressing differing opinions on the issue, board members were discussing whether to set the allowable Ò short-termÓ threshold at 30 days or as little as eight days, when councilman Joe Mastrodomenico said heÕ d heard enough threats from citizens over the issue, and he would vote in favor of the prohibition, as originally written, with the six-month length. Ò IÕ m tired of being threatened,Ó he said of those citizens contacting him recently, vowing to oppose his re-election if he didnÕ t vote to curb home rentals. Ò ItÕ s not worth it anymore,Ó he contin-

ued, referring to his intent to try to balance the rights of property owners with those of citizens concerned over the behavior of some renters.

Mayor Robert Blais, Deputy Mayor John Earl and Mastrodomenico voted for the sixmonth threshold. Board members John Root and Ray Perry, seeking a less restrictive ordinance, voted against the legislation.

Before MastrodomenicoÕ s about-face, board members were discussing bringing it up again to a public meeting to let citizens decide how the law should be drafted. They were also talking about passing a law that allowed short-term rentals as long as the property owner was occupying the residence.

Root had contended that short term rentals added to the vitality of the village, as well as allowing citizens to earn some income to help offset property taxes. He suggested that the village set the same eight-day threshold as the town had in force.

But Blais sought the more stringent code. Ò IÕ ve got 100 reasons how rentals of even one month would not work,Ó he said.

In the split vote, the board voted in alignment with BlaisÕ objectives.

The zoning code hasnÕ t listed short-term rentals as an allowable use in residential and residential-mixed use zones — so although

they arenÕ t identified as specifically prohibited, they arenÕ t allowed.

Also, the existing code doesn’t explicitly define Ò short-term,Ó but the new ordinance does. The new law will be in effect in several weeks when itÕ s filed with the state.

In the past several weeks, village Code Enforcement Officer Doug Frost has sent out letters to about a dozen property owners in residential and residential-mixed use zones who had been renting out their homes, or rooms, on a short-term basis, ordering them to stop doing so immediately. These property owners did not have active business licenses to operate as a bed-and-breakfast or a tourist accommodation.

Although the letters ordered the property owners to immediately stop renting out their premises on a short-term basis, Frost and other town officials had agreed to delay enforcement, allowing property owners to honor their pre-existing rental agreements through this year.

With the law now clarified and strengthened, Frost said that he wouldnÕ t likely enforce the prohibition beginning in mid-October.

Frost added that residential property owners who have historically operated licensed bed-and-breakfast or Ò tourist accommoda-

tionÓ enterprises were Ò grandfatheredÓ and could continue to conduct their businesses as long as they maintained an active business license to do so. But when they stop such a licensed enterprise, their property will be subject to the short-term residential rental prohibition, which carries a fine of $50 per day for non-compliance, he said.

Short-term rentals are an allowed use, however, in the village’s Commercial-Mixed Use Zones and Commercial-Resort zones.

In recent decades, many thousands of people around the U.S. people have rented out rooms or their entire homes Ñ particularly in tourist areas Ñ with the intent of earning income to help pay property taxes and upkeep.

In Saratoga Springs, the practice has a long history.

In recent years, websites like airbnb.com have made such short-term rentals proliferate. People using such home-rental websites have reported that such arrangements are convenient, predictable and safe, while substantially cutting the cost of travel. Renting a room in a private home also often offers a social experience that a motel or hotel can’t match, they report.

However, trade organizations representing hotel and motel owners have lobbied municipalities to prohibit the practice.

Last-minute settlement resolves libel claims between two former Wbg. town officials

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ The longstanding legal battle between two former Warrensburg town government officials was settled this week, just as jurors were being chosen for a trial and community leaders had been called to testify.

Former Warrensburg Supervisor Maynard Baker and prior town public works superintendent Richard Galusha agreed to settle libel lawsuits they waged against one another. The two libel suits were based on allegations they each made in advertising placed days before the November 2009 general election, when Baker was a candidate for town supervisor. The settlement

was reached Monday morning Sept. 22.

In an advertisement placed in the Adirondack Journal in late October 2009 by Baker and his running mates, Galusha had been accused of neglecting his job duties and doing it intentionally so he could benefit — which was untrue, GalushaÕ s lawyer John Wright said. Galusha was an employee of the administration of Kevin Geraghty, BakerÕ s opponent in the 2009 election. Ò Maynard admitted it was false during his deposition testimony,Ó Wright said.

Just a day later, Galusha took out a full-page ad in the Post-Star to refute the claims criticizing him, but he added accusations against Baker, alluding to unscrupulous conduct. Baker

provided evidence GalushaÕ s claims were baseless, according to documents submitted to the state Supreme court.

Upset by the allegations, Baker filed a libel lawsuit against Galusha, who responded by filing a counterclaim against Baker.

Galusha filed a motion to have Baker’s libel claim dismissed, as Baker at that time was a public figure — a status which allows people more leeway about what they can allege about another person. But state Supreme Court Justice David Krogmann allowed the case to be heard in court, and Galusha appealed the decision Ñ but the Supreme CourtÕ s Appellate Division affirmed Krogmann’s decision to let the suit proceed.

The settlement calls for Galusha to pay an

undisclosed sum to Baker, and for both men to purchase advertisements in the two newspapers, retracting some of the statements made years ago against each other.

The wording of the two ads has been negotiated. The retraction advertisements are to be published within the next several weeks, Wright said. A call to BakerÕ s attorney, Robert Winn, was not returned as of Tuesday.

Wright said the agreement settles all the litigation between the two men. Ò Rick felt the trial was unnecessary. This was economic decision Ñ to avoid the cost and aggravation of dragging witnesses and jurors and the court and the two parties through a trial,Ó Wright said. Ò ItÕ s nice that both of them can now move forward.Ó

Continued from page 1 Craig was also taking late reservations from the ChamberÕ s hundreds of vendors, answering their questions, and explaining their regulations Ñ as well as telling curious callers about the new aspects of the sale Ñ how they can leave their car behind and ride the train from Saratoga or North Creek, or how their youngsters would be enjoying the new Family Fun Zone.

Warrensburg Fire Co. president Kevin Geraghty was meeting with other local firefighters to plan their role in the great sale. As in years past, the local fire company will be offering convenient parking on Elm Street in the midst of the hundreds of private garage sales, for only $5 per car, or $25 for recreational vehicles in their prime location.

TheyÕ ll also be offering breakfast from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and lunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. both days, featuring sit-down meals at tables in their firehall bays — popular for shoppers. Their real rest rooms are also appreciated by visitors who might be turned off by the porta-jons Ñ 60 or so of them scattered along Main St. This year, a Money Wheel will be set up at the fire station for those seeking to try their luck at doubling their money, a few dollars at a time, Geraghty said.

“We’re going to have a lot of fun at the fire house — we always have a good time here,Ó he said.

Warrensburg Chamber President Candice Healy noted that the saleÕ s new Family Fun Zone, to be located at the town recreation field off Library Avenue, would feature various children’s activities, a caricature artist, food vendors, and NASCAR interactive pit-crew simulator, which provides a tire-changing experience. This activity is sponsored by the Army National Guard, which also will have a punching bag and a spider tent on site, which will doubtlessly prompt some amusement or trepidation among shoppers. The Chamber is now seeking additional enterprises to present additional games, entertainment and activities at no charge to the public. Call the Chamber at 623-2161 to sign up, Healy said. Ò WeÕ re getting a lot of support so far from the public,Ó she said. Ò But weÕ re down to Ô crunch timeÕ now.Ó Another new attraction may be a feature of the Great Sale,

www.adirondackjournal.com Craig said. Local citizen Tom Apple is seeking to host medieval re-enactors in his yard at 68 Hudson Street, featuring archery, jousting, and displays of the customs of ancient European life.

Apple confirmed Tuesday he was seeking to arrange such a scenario.

Craig said that about four-fifths of all the Chamber-sponsored vendor spaces were already reserved, an earlier response from more vendors than in recent years.

Wide variety of bargain-priced goods

The Sale has always offered an astounding array of new and used goods at bargain prices, including tools, household goods, antiques, collectibles, specialty or distressed goods, vehicle parts, old toys, estate jewelry, small appliances, sporting goods, and clothing ranging from hand-knitted sweaters to tiedied garb.

You name it, and the Great Sale is likely to have it New vendors, Craig said, include an abundance of jewelry vendors, a booth selling handcrafted chairs suspended from ropes, and another vendor selling stuffed grilled-cheese sandwiches Ñ among the many dozens of specialty food items to be sold through town. Ò We have a new vendor selling Origami Owl jewelry, which is a hot trend,Ó Craig said.

Chamber official Linda Marcella noted that those seeking to avoid traffic snarls and parking problems can follow signs off Exit 23 up East Schroon River Road to the Warren County Fairgrounds, park their car for free, and take a shuttle bus to town.

The free shuttles, with a bus scheduled every 15 minutes beginning at 8:30 a.m. both days, circulates through town, navigating the crowds, dropping off its passengers at about a dozen stops including the new Fun Zone, complete with rest rooms.

“We expect the good weather forecast for the weekend to make a huge difference,Ó she said, noting that in many prior years, rainy or cold weather has held back some shoppers. Last year, a sunny day on Saturday drew the largest so far in the eventÕ s 35-year history.

Marcella said Chamber officials expected this year’s sale to host even more bargain shoppers from all over the Northeast. Ò WeÕ re looking for this year to be a record-breaker,Ó she said.

WCS roof approved by vote

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ On Tuesday, Sept. 16, voters in the Warrensburg Central School District weighed in on the proposed $1.24 million project to replace WCS ElementaryÕ s roof.

They responded overwhelmingly the school go ahead and get the work done, as 140 voted in favor of the captial project with only 20 against.

School officials felt the vote would break down highly in their favor.

During the day, two voting booths, a project summary, and a table of women sat quietly waiting for the public to approach.

There was very little traffic while walking in and no one inside upon entering the gymnasiumÕ s lobby. Ò This is a normal turnout for this type of thing,Ó said WarrensburgÕ s Business Administrator, Cynthia Turcotte.

As of 3 p.m. on Tuesday, about 60 people had visited the school to cast their vote. Turcotte, who has been the Business Adminstrator for five years, estimated they would have around 40 more voters before the polls closed at 8 p.m.

Turcotte said of the roof, Ò it isnÕ t dangerous, but it does need to be fixed.”

She spoke with an Elementary School teacher who sat at the table, joking that she had put a bucket in her classroom to collect the dripping water from her ceiling.

WarrensburgÕ s newsletter, Ò In Touch with Warrensburg,Ó stated that the roof has had various leaks throughout the years that maitenance staff has tried to repair to no avail. The newsletter for Sept. 2014 also said the use of Capital Reserve Fund and NYS Building Aid will cover costs, leaving nothing go onto the tax rolls.

If construction documents are approved by NYSED, Warrensburg Central School expects the project to be put out to bid in January 2015, with work started in June and completed by September.

It’s deja vu all over again

W

ith a bill passed that will arm rebels in Syria and bombs beginning to drop in Iraq, it feels like the early 2000Õ s in the Middle East all over again, except this time, it’s a group called ISIS in the crosshairs. If the US doesnÕ t rethink its approach to this part of the world, this Ò warÓ is all weÕ ll ever know.

The late Hunter S. Thompson was better known for his illegal-substance-fueled Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas than views on foreign affairs, but shortly after four commercial airliners flights’ ended in terror in New York City, Pennsylvania and Washington DC, Thompson took to his ESPN column Ò Hey RubeÓ on Sept. 11, 2001, and said this: Ò The towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for Peace in Our Time, in the United States or any other country. Make no mistake about it: We are At War nowÑ with somebodyÑ and we will stay At War with that mysterious Enemy for the rest of our lives.Ó Thirteen years later, the words are perhaps more chilling. There is a generation now who, in their teens, havenÕ t lived in an America not at war. President Barack Obama has made attempts, with little success, to distance the nation from the turmoil in the Middle East, but to what end? This isn’t the kind of conflict from history books, with a beginning, middle and end, but one that continually evolves.

Unlike the Sept. 11 attacks, the catalyst of the most recent turmoil in the Middle East has been, at least on the surface, ISISÕ widely disseminated beheading of American journalist James Foley.

This isnÕ t to say our nation is at war over the murder of one American man and a family tortured by the public nature of his death, but it certainly provided a spark.

The bigger picture, though, is the message sent from the startlingly well-funded extremist group. ISIS had been making news priorÑ in late June, it claimed to be a Ò stateÓ of all Muslims in the world as it spread with force into IraqÑ and the Foley killing and those to follow were used to illustrate its stance. (ItÕ s worth noting that many Muslim groups and religious leaders have denounced ISIS, claiming its radical actions to be Ò unIslamic.Ó ) On Sept. 9, Steven Sotloff, another American journalist to fall victim to ISIS, was killed. In the video posted by the state-slash-terrorist group, a masked individual addressed Obama with this message: Ò Just as your missiles continue to strike our people, our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people.Ó A week later, the president spoke up, giving some idea of how the US would Ò destroyÓ ISIS. His vow to fight ISIS has come in the form of Congress giving bipartisan approval to arm and train Syrian rebels in their fight against Islamic terrorists, a $500 million measure.

Congressman Bill Owens was one of 273 to vote yes

September 27, 2014

for the measure to arm the fighters, citing “imminent threat of violence.Ó Those very words echo the drafting of the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF), which has given our last two presidents carte blanche to use force, across borders, against not only those suspected of playing roles in the Sept. 11 attacks, but Ò to prevent an act of international terrorism against the United States...Ó The AUMF was directed toward al-Qaeda (and any suspected associates), a group that disassociated itself from ISIS earlier this year, technically distancing ISIS from the billsÕ scope. However, a second drafting in 2002 pertained to Iraq, resulting in a gray area of whether it can be used in this conflict.

Though Obama took the bill through Congress, he said in a Sept. 10 speech that he has Ò the authority to address the threat from ISIS,Ó implying that heÕ d use the AUMF to justify continued air strikes or other military action beyond the funding of Syrian rebels.

Obama, prior ISISÕ emergence, has been a vocal opponent of the AUMF and has said he wanted it repealed.

On top of that, thereÕ s been the added issue of whether arming the Syrian rebels is itself an unconstitutional act.

While ISIS may be growing dangerous enough to warrant concern, the governmentÕ s ways about policing the Middle East should be raising a number of red flags.

The War on Terror has become an expensive and deadly cycle. For every attack or perceived threat, America has played judge and jury, and every time it does, it gives religious extremists—the Taliban, al-Qaeda, ISIS or whoever is next in line—reason to threaten and attack.

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul said after the bill was passed that Ò America should only go to war to win.

We shouldnÕ t go to war sort-of-meandering our way through a spending bill.Ó If only this war was a winnable one. Even if America was able to scrub ISIS from the map, the collateral damage would give rise to another group seeking retribution. The political and military strategies at play now will keep the US firmly entrenched in the region for years to come.

Thompson, foreseeing a Ò religious war,Ó had this to add in his column over a decade ago: Ò We are going to punish somebody for this attack, but just who or what will be blown to smithereens for it is hard to say. Maybe Afghanistan, maybe Pakistan or Iraq, or possible all three at once. Who knows? É This is going to be a very expensive war, and Victory is not guaranteedÑ for anyone...Ó Add ISIS to that list and it could have been written today. No wonder the sense of deja vu.

Perhaps, one day, a generation of Americans will know peace, but it doesnÕ t appear the path to that end is one the government is treading today. Ñ

Do you believe the United States States should be arming Syrian rebels to fight ISIS?

I think if something isn’t done to stop them they will keep advancing until they are on our doorstep. I would like to see the people most effected (the Middle East) be the most proactive.

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden One Hundred Years Ago – September, 1914 Bad guys fess up

John Burkman, alias Baltamore, alias Malmone, one of the bandits who, on Friday, Sept. 4, 1914, robbed the Delaware and Hudson ticket office at the station in Glens Falls and shot Charles Harris, the telegraph operator and William Roach, driver of the automobile in which the two men planned to escape, was arraigned before City Judge Safford on Thursday afternoon, Sept.

10, 1914 on a charge of robbery, first degree.

The prisoner was without counsel and waived examination.

He was held to await the action of the Grand Jury, which sits at Lake George next month and was committed to the County Jail, where he is now a prisoner.

Burkman was identified by Roach as the man who shot him.

In addition to the charge on which he is held, he will probably be indicted by the Grand Jury for assault with intent to kill.

The other bandit, whose name Burkman says is George Johnson, alias George Smith, is still at large. He shot Harris. Neither of the men were seriously injured and both are now able to be up and around.

Horse and car meet on dark road

About 5 oÕ clock Sunday evening, Sept. 13, 1914, Donovan and Joseph Wright were driving leisurely in a one-horse rig along the Friends Lake Road, near the West Church, when they were struck and bumped off the highway by an automobile owned by Mr. Harrigan of Schroon Lake. The buggy was overturned and the men were thrown out, both receiving sundry bruises.

Mr. Harrigan generously paid the damages although he was under no obligation to do so as the rig carried no light as required by law. (Note Ð No mention was made, in this story, of what happened to the poor horse. I have read stories about horses at the turn of the century that nearly had a nervous breakdown at the mere sight of fearsome automobile and I will bet that this horse became one of them.)

A thief in the night

Two men attempted to force an entrance to the residence of Prof. John B. Chilson, on upper Main Street, Warrensburgh, Thursday night, Sept.10, 1914. Mr. Chilson heard them at the window at three oÕ clock in the morning and turned on the electric lights in the house, thus frightening them away. He saw one man as he dodged behind a tree and the other as he fled through the garden. These burglars are still at large. (Note Ð Prof. Chilson was the principal of the Warrensburgh School, which at that time was on School Street, now called Stewart Farrar Avenue. He and his family rented the Harry Reoux house on the south corner of Main and Hackensack Avenue.)

World War heats up

“We are fighting for a worthy purpose and we will not lay down our arms until this purpose is achieved.Ó These were the words of King George of England to the House of Lords regarding the ongoing war and EnglandÕ s struggle against Germany and Austria. Entry of Romania into the European war is believed to be imminent.

Jules Vedrines, the noted French aviator, engaged in a courageous fight in mid-air with a German aviator whom he brought

to earth. The German machine was riddled with bullets and the aviator killed, both coming to the ground within fifteen minutes from the time Vedrines took to the air.

New house making progress

Andrew Jones, whose ability as a mason and bricklayer is well understood around Horicon, with the co-operation of his father-in-law, Lyman Bruce, is contemplating the construction of a cottage composed of concrete blocks at his farm at the foot of Brant Lake. The building will be somewhat of a novelty in this community and when finished will be occupied by his mother, Mrs. Milo Jones.

Shoe man builds fine house

Ernest G. Rist, the progressive Park Square shoe man, is taking measures to provide for himself and his family by building a seven-room bungalow on Oak Street, Warrensburgh. The structure will stand on the foundation of the house owned by Amos Austin, Mr. RistÕ s father-in-law, which was burned last spring.

George E. Farrar has the contract and has started the job. Mr. and Mrs. Rist expect to settle in their new house about Dec. 1, 1914. (Note Ð Ernest G. Rist operated the Ò Rist Boot ShopÓ in the building just south of todays Floyd Bennett Bandstand, which in 1948 became Art BrownÕ s Shoe Store. Formerly called, Ò The Pasko Block,Ó in 1922 it was re-named, Ò The Rist Block.Ó Ernest Rist and Maude Austin were married in 1910. Today their Ò bungalow” at 38 Oak Street is the fine home of Attorney Robert T. Farrell and family.)

Old house, new location

The Emerald D. Pasko house, which was bought by Abe Katz this summer and moved from its location on Main Street, adjoining the Adirondack Hotel, to Third Street (Ò The Big TurnÓ ) has been rebuilt by Mr. Katz and greatly improved. It is now a two-story building with a wide piazza on front and side and will make a comfortable home for the popular owner and his family.

George E. Farrar had the construction contract and his work is nearly over. (Note Ð Abe Katz, a tailor by trade, was married to Anna Carey and they had a daughter, Geneva Katz, born in 1910 and possibly more children. The story of the house being moved up Main Street on rollers was told in this column in the June 14, 2014 Adirondack Journal.)

A little “Lad” departs

Laddie, a handsome Scotch Collie of purest ancestry, for thirteen years the pet and devoted friend of John G. Hunt, the local hardware dealer, died Saturday night and it is believed that he succumbed to heart failure resulting from rheumatism from which he had suffered for several years. His lifeless body was found in his kennel by Mr. Hunt and his position indicated that he died without a struggle.

Mr. Hunt raised him from a puppy and in his death mourns the loss of one of his truest friends. (Note – John Griffiths Hunt lived in the big white house directly across from todayÕ s Post Office. He built it before 1876 and raised fine Morgan horses.

Home for the winter

Dr. Cyrus S. Merrill and daughter, Miss Grace C. Merrill, who have occupied their beautiful summer home, the Griffing homestead, for the season, since June, 1914, will return to their Albany home on Saturday, Sept. 12, 1914, for the winter. (Note Ð Grace Merrill Magee was always so proud of her 1833 Warrensburgh

home at 3 Hudson Street, which would eventually be in the family for nearly 150 years. I am sure that she is looking down from Heaven and admiring all the wonderful renovations going on there today.

Gala wedding

Miss Kathleen Goodman, of The Glen, was married in Glens Falls, Wednesday evening, Sept. 16, 1914, to Thomas Minnihan of that city, by the Rev. Daniel F. Curtin at St. MaryÕ s Rectory.

The bride has been a member of the nurseÕ s training class at the Glens Falls Hospital for three years and graduated with her class on Sept. 23, 1914, the exercises being held in the auditorium of the high school building.

Hunting season will open

The hunting season for geese and brant and a number of other birds will open in September, 1914 and will continue until Jan. 10, 1915. The season for partridges and duck does not begin until Oct. 1, 1914. The deer season will also open on that date and continue until Nov. 5, 1914. Does and bucks with horns less than three inches must not be shot. The hunter is limited to two bucks per season and he may only transport one at a time.

News roundabout

In Igerna some one shot a valuable cow in Silas Higgins pasture. Three bullet holes were found in the animalÕ s body. Horton Mead is building a new house in Igerna on the site where one was burned about two years ago. Frank Weller and Bert Rickert are doing the carpenter work.

George R. Russell, of Lake George, with his string of trotting horses, got a piece of the money in some of the races at the Rutland Fair, in Vermont. The gray horse, E.D. Douglass won a purse of $300 and Hazelwood, the Chestnut mare, took second.

Sweet and sour notes

Occasionally a man has a soft spot in his heart, but more often it is in his head.

On Saturday, Sept. 12, 1914, the steamer Evelyn made her last trip on Schroon Lake. Porter Burch, of Bolton Landing, is spending a few days at his farm at Riverbank repairing his house and barn.

A carload of sheep was shipped from Wevertown on Monday, Sept. 14, 1914, by George Cassell, of Ballston.

Mack and Basil Gallup are threshing with a gasoline motor propelled machine for the farmers in the North Thurman area.

Nathan Ingraham is lumbering in North Thurman and is occupying the Glen Lake CompanyÕ s cottage at the foot of the mountain.

A daughter was born to Mrs. Todd Bolton, in Adirondack. At Garnet Lake, Charles Kenyon has bought a fine new five-passenger Buick automobile. It is a 1915 model.

Mrs. Dora Gray moved her family from the old Dr. Cady house into part of the large yellow house owned by Alonzo Drake, in Pottersville.

In Horicon, Judson Smith is a victim of hay fever. Gretchen Bover is seriously ill with typhoid fever. Dewitt Barton Jr., has recovered from a case of pleurisy.

Letters to the Editor

More thoughts on Dollar Gen. To the Adirondack Journal: Many pros and cons are heard on the streets about the possibility of a Dollar General store in town.

From a personal point of view, I am all for it. I have lived here most of my life and watched as this area has flourished, fallen, rebuilt, flourished again, fallen again. A pattern that isn’t too pretty. So much is here, yet more is needed.

I can truely understand the cons from businesses and individuals who want to make and keep this a resort area. It is a beautiful thought, but, if there isnÕ t something more to draw people out to North Creek- What is the answer? Many have started businesses here, and had to eventually close because the traffic passes us by.

If we were to accept the idea of this store, locals would be able to shop for the items that now they need to drive south for. Examples: clothing for the children, baking pans that might cost much less than any of the stores in town, candles for times when the power has gone out, other items that parents, and elderly are not able to travel to Warrensburg or Glens Falls for. The rising cost of gas, electric, and heating fuel makes it tough for many in our area.

Maybe some of the skiers who now make a right hand turn when the ski area closes would actually come into town. They might need one or two small items from this store, but, in turn would also be visiting North Creek for the fist time and possibly go to one of the stores on Main Street and think about staying next time.

As for the tourists coming in the train, they might go home saying, “This town has everything you need, and more!”

Build it with a little Adirondack style, and it wonÕ t be an eyesore, as some people think. It just might be a nice looking store that will draw out people from outlying towns as well.

As I have learned over the years, we all need to Ò look outside the box” to build up this community again.

C. Raymond Davis opens up shop in Bolton

By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

BOLTON Ñ C. Raymond Davis and Sons, a nationally award winning, full service contracting business opened doors to a satellite office in July. With their current operations in Schroon Lake the company made the decision to open a satellite office located at 4597 Lake Shore Drive in Bolton Landing. Ò The company was originally founded in 1928 and has remained a family business,Ó said Guy Williams lead contractor. Ò Mark the owner loves the Sagamore and has ties to the area.Ó Williams who hales originally from Pittsburgh and later Florida, attended Word Of Live Bible College in Schroon Lake and made the permanent move with his family to the area in 2002.

The operation is a unique business explains Williams. A customer typically comes to C. Raymond with property or properties in mind. Guy explains they assist customers full service from the design, permitting approval and after purchase decorating and landscaping. Ò When a customer comes to us with a project in mind or even before a project starts we take them through several stages of contract,Ó said Williams. Ò We take them through schematic, de-

sign development, contract documents and eventually building.

By the end of this process we become like family with our customers. We truly are a one stop shop.Ó This soup to nuts building approach has paid off for the company. The currently employ three full time employees in their Bolton location with the prospect of hiring more as continued growth is seen.

Another important facet for the their growing operation is the effort to source suppliers and subcontractors locally, William explained. Ò We hire specialized craftsman in each area of construction and design,” said Williams. “The floor guy lays the floor, the cabinet maker works only on cabinet construction and design, the tile guy spends his days doing just tile. This way we have subcontractors who have specialized training and therefore, better quality.Ó C. Raymond Davis is willing to travel most of Adirondack region, to price out property and projects. Recently the company has completed projects in Saratoga, Blue Mountain, Bolton Landing and Schroon Lake.

Poor response to fires concerns Lake George officials during joint meeting

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ The Lake George Fire Department is not adequately responding to fire calls and a solution needs to be implemented soon, local officials said Sept. 22 during a joint meeting of the town and village boards.

Town supervisor Dennis Dickinson said he and others were very concerned that the village fire department was not responding in a timely manner Ñ or not at all Ñ to fire calls, leaving nearby fire companies from Warrensburg, Bolton, and Queensbury to respond to fire emergencies. He said several of the incidences involved serious blazes. Ò ThereÕ s boiling frustration in our town over this,Ó Dickinson said.

Mayor Blais said he was aware of a manpower shortage in the department Ñ that an adequate crew of firefighters would normally respond to the station, but often they would have to wait for a trained driver to show up.

Blais suggested that the village train their public works employees, who are skilled at operating construction vehicles, to drive fire trucks for the department.

Blais said the workers, after appropriate training in driving the trucks and

operating their fire pumps, could transport the fire department personnel to the scene, leaving the firefighting up to them. Deputy Mayor John Earl said the training to certify personnel for these duties involved 20 hours of training.

Blais said he proposed this concept to the fire department officials, but they rejected it.

Town Board member Nancy Stannard responded to BlaisÕ s statement. Ò If they canÕ t cover the fire calls, why are they turning down more help?Ó she asked.

Blais suggested that the village employees trained to operate the fire trucks be paid an additional $1 per hour as an incentive for them to take on this additional responsibility of responding to fire emergencies. Ò This is a great idea,Ó Dickinson said. Ò We need to move forward on this Ñ itÕ s a serious issue,Ó Blais continued.

Excessive false alarms prompt concern

At the joint meeting, Blais also proposed that fines be levied on owners of commercial and residential property owners for excessive false fire alarms on their premises. Ò Our false alarms are increasing weekly,Ó he said, noting that they not only cause needless waste of volun-

teersÕ time and disruption of their lives, but that they might be setting the stage for a tragic outcome. He said that after four or five false alarms from the same premises, the fire department personnel might not take a subsequent alarm seriously Ñ so if a real fire did break out, lives and property would be at grave risk.

During this August, he said, seven fire calls received by the station turned out to be false alarms, probably caused by faulty or improperly installed equipment. That number of false alarms was more than half the total calls received at the fire station, he added. One property was responsible for five recent false alarms.

He suggested that the two municipalities jointly establish local laws to prompt property owners to make sure their fire detection equipment was working properly. He said that ordinances should be drafted that assess fines on property owners for more than two false alarms in a 12-month period Ñ a $100 fine on the third false alarm in a year Õ s time, $200 for the fourth, and $350 for the fifth.

Such a proposed ordinance would be subject to public hearings in both municipalities and a vote by each board.

Blais urged the two boards to adopt such an ordinance so it would be in ef-

Rob Astorino fields questions from reporters at the Business Council’s 2104 annual meeting. Astorino, who spoke to the council Sept. 18, made an unscheduled appearance the next day to personally ask Gov. Andrew Cuomo to debate.

Continued from page 1 “It has mailed, emailed, called, and texted the Cuomo campaign to no avail,Ó the statement read. Ò Mr. Astorino personally asked Gov. Cuomo (Sept. 19) when the debates would be and Gov. Cuomo brushed aside the question.Ó After the exchange, Cuomo went on with his remarks to the Business Council on his vision for the state and how he felt progress had been made over the past four years. At one point, the incumbent took a not-so-subtle shot at his rival when talking about property tax rates and the need to curtail local spending practices.

Q and A exchange

Following his remarks, which mentioned Upstate New York numerous times but never uttered the word Adirondacks despite the Bolton Landing setting, Cuomo addressed media questions. Ò Will you serve the full four years if you are re-elected,Ó a reporter asked.

Cuomo paused. Ò What if I die?Ó he responded. Ò Do you plan on serving out the full four-year term,Ó the reporter asked. Ò Do I plan on it, yes,Ó Cuomo said, then jokingly adding, Ò That was a nice way to word it.Ó

Cuomo added his belief that throughout the state, local politicians had not properly addressed the waste in local tax rates, referring to it as, Ò little political thiefdoms and patronage mills.Ó “No county executive has brought everyone to the table for the hard discussions,Ó Cuomo said. Ò Everyone thinks business as usual works, but it does not.Ó Cuomo also credited Albany lawmakers with being able to work together during his term. Ò It has been working great for the last four years, but it could go back to gridlock any day,Ó he said. Ò We had gridlock way before Washington had gridlock, but ours was the New York kind of gridlock - a really nasty, vicious style of gridlock.

Adirondack Distance Festival readies for big weekend with national honor

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN Ñ The accolades for the Adirondack Distance Festival keep coming. Soon, runners from all over the planet will be doing the same.

The 18th edition of the festival will take place Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 27-28, in the towns of Schroon Lake and Chestertown.

So far, event organizer Joel Friedman said there are competitors coming into the region from 36 states, including Hawaii, as well as international competitors from Sweden, Germany, Mexico, Brazil and throughout Canada.

“Our field is overall sort of comparable to last yearÕ s group, but slightly different geographically,Ó said Friedman. Ò At this point, we will see anywhere between 10 and 15 people registering for the races daily.Ó Those registrations may get a bump thanks to flipkey.com, a website under the umbrella of Trip Advisor, who recently rated the Adirondack Marathon as the most desirable to travel for in New York.

They based their findings on industry research and traveler feedback from the 50 most popular reviewed and positively reviewed races in each state. Ò The runners say it seems like the whole town turns out for the race,Ó Friedman said. Ò That is what makes this race so unique for runners is the community support. We already have over 700 volunteers this year.Ó Friedman said the race has always been complimented for what it offers participants following the 26.2 mile run through the Adirondacks, which includes a finish area with a large medical tent, massage tent with 12-15 therapists on hand and a food tent. Ò The food tent is incredibly popular,Ó Friedman said. Ò We always have been complimented on what we offer.Ó The event also features a post-race party for runners and volunteers, this year to be held at WitherbeeÕ s.

The marathon is just one of several races that make up the Adirondack Marathon Distance Festival. There is a two- and four-person relay, halfmarathon, 5K, 10K and fun run for the children.

In all, a total of 500 spots are available for the

marathon, with 650 spots for the half and unlimited registration for the other races. Ò We get a lot of registration at the last minute for the 5 and 10-K,Ó Friedman said. The races are held Saturday, Sept. 27, with a 9:30 a.m. start at the town hall in Chestertown for the 5 and 10K and a 2 p.m. for the kids 1K fun run at the marathon finish line in Schroon Lake.

Saturday and Sunday also features a runners expo where competitors can pick up their packets from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 27 and from 6:45 until 8:15 a.m. Sept. 28 at Schroon Lake Central School.

Along with running retailers, clubs, events, and health and fitness specialists, there will be a presentation by Jeff Dengate, former Shoes & Gear Editor at RunnerÕ s World magazine at 3 p.m.

Dengate is a veteran of more than 20 marathons and has run the last six Adirondack Mara-

thons and often trains along the course. He will fill runners in on where the biggest hills are, when youÕ ll get to cruise, and general course strategy, along with tips on what to wear, the latest trends in running, what kind of shoes are right for each kind of runner, benefits of tech tees, GPS technology and more.

The expo is produced by Adirondack Sports & Fitness.

On Sunday, early-bird starters for the marathon will take their marks at 7 a.m., followed by the start of the marathon (along with relay team racers) at 9 a.m. in Schroon and the half marathon at 10 a.m., starting at the midway point of the full marathon course on the east shore of Schroon Lake.

WCS volleyball staging a comeback after many frustrating years

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ For over a dozen years, the Warrensburg High School Varsity volleyball teams have been enduring disappointing seasons.

Although teams have hosted some talented athletes along the way, thereÕ s been an everchanging roster of coaches, and the program has suffered a dwindling school population Ñ both of which have factored in their woes.

In recent years, the local school board has considered eliminating the sport, primarily due to budget constraints.

In many of the years of this prolonged slump, the team managed only a win or two during an entire season.

The 2014 WCS Varsity Volleyball team, however, has started out the season with a three victories in six games — one of the best earlyseason starts in at least a decade.

On Wednesday Sept. 3, they launched the

2014 season with a 3-0 victory over Corinth.

Sophomore Jayden Cain, who plays club volleyball year-round, tallied 16 points, six aces and a kill in the competitive battle. Senior Kaylene Norton Ñ a team leader who has received an accolade for her work by area news media — contributed six points, an ace, a kill and four blocks during the matchup. Warrensburg won the three sets 25-23, 25-22, and 25-17.

On Sept. 17, the Burghers took on unbeaten Fort Edward, and put up a considerable fight, showing they arenÕ t intimidated by a leagueleading squad. Although they lost the meet, they showed they could effectively compete against a top team.

On Sept. 19, the Burghers beat Hadley-Luzerne 3 to 0, with Norton tallying eight points, three blocks, and six kills. Sophomore Angie Miller contributed 13 points, three aces, and four assists. Miller has also been playing club volleyball off-season.

On Sept. 22, Warrensburg held off larger Granville in a matchup that was extended into five sets — the Burgers won the first two, Gran-

ville won the next two, and Warrensburg prevailed in the final set. The scores were 25-18, 25-19, 17-25, 14-25, 25-21.

Norton spearheaded this Burgher effort with 11 points, four aces, six blocks and 17 kills.

Sophomore Leah Terrell added 15 points, two aces, a block and 17 kills.

Warrensburg Central Schools Athletic Director Scott Smith said the players, parents and the coaching staff was enthusiastic about the teamÕ s progress.

“This is exciting for the team to be competitive,Ó he said. Ò The girlsÕ hard work is beginning to pay off Ñ theyÕ re becoming good contenders.Ó Area sports fans have credited the players for their dedication to the sport, and coach Robin Winslow Mahler for her ever-positive approach to mentoring the team.

Norton said Mahler was focused on the players and their success. Ò I strongly thank our coach Robin for being so dedicated to us,Ó she said. Ò WeÕ re not just a volleyball team, but a family and thatÕ s what

really pulls us together.Ó Jayden expressed similar praise about the family spirit that Coach Mahler has engendered, and how sheÕ s helped the players improve so much already during the beginning of the season.

“We are finally understanding the technical details of the sport, putting every little thing into place and working together to get a win,Ó she said. Ò IÕ m so happy about our wins this season, and proud to be a part of this team!”

Smith said he now had heightened expectations for the team, and the 2014 early-season wins would help the entire volleyball program in years to come. Ò This teamÕ s success will really help the program down the road,Ó he said.

Norton said that she and fellow senior Cierra Tyrell were happy to serve as leaders for the squad, working hard in developing skills and teamwork. Ò We want to be the role models for the other girls so they can succeed in the future when we are gone,Ó she said.

Gore Mountain moves full speed ahead with new Adirondack Express

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK Ñ Gore Mountain is becoming even more impressive and user friendly this season with the installation of the new ski lift, “The Adirondack Express II.” Upon entering the construction site, one can see that completion is nearing. Concrete was being poured at the base terminal on Sept. 18, getting the lift one step closer to its estimated open date in late November.

Marketing Manager Emily Stanton said, Ò the high-speed quad is not only more efficient but it also provides a more luxurious experience.”

The new lift, located at the base of Gore next to the North-

woods Gondola, will feature eight fewer towers for the mileand-a-half ride. The installation of the lift will give its riders a smooth, quick trip to the top of the mountain where they can begin to ski the day away. Ò ItÕ s a much needed improvement,Ó said Stanton. Ò We are making great strides in modernizing the lifts.Ó Stanton noted that the Adirondack Express II will be replacing what was once the oldest lift of its kind in New York State.

When asked if all lifts would eventually be modeled after this improvement, Stanton laughed and looked at General Manager, Mike Pratt. Ò That would be ideal,Ó she said.

Pratt remarked that skiiers like to be on the trails early in the morning and the Adirondack Express II will only help

their cause. Ò We will be getting them on the trails as fast as possible,Ó said Pratt. Ò This is a great starting point to access all of our terrain.Ó Customers can expect the quad to be similar to that of the Burnt Ridge Quad which has always gotten positive feedback in the past.

“The experience is pretty much identical,” said Stanton.

“You can see at least five or six of our 107 trails from this point,Ó remarked GM Mike Pratt. Ò ItÕ s a good spot to start to ski the slopes over and over again.

Visitors have a new lift and a beautiful view to look forward to after Thanksgiving.

After saying the view was gorgeous, Stanton laughed and said, Ò No pun intended,

Country sheriff’s to hold drug take back day

QUEENSBURY Ñ The Drug Enforcement Administration and government, community, public health and law enforcement partners have announced a nationwide prescription drug Ò Take-BackÓ initiative that seeks to prevent increased pill abuse and theft.

DEA will be collecting potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs and over the counter medications for destruction at sites nationwide on Saturday, Sept. 27, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. local time. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Many Americans are not aware that medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are increasing at alarming rates, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs.

A local site will be set up at the lobby of the Warren County Sheriff’s Office at 1400 State Rt. 9 which is next to the Warren County Municipal Center in Queensbury. Collection sites in every local community can be found by going to dea.gov. This site will be continuously updated with new take-back locations. Other participants in this initiative include the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy; the Partnership for a Drug-Free America; the International Association of Chiefs of Police; the National Association of Attorneys General; the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy; the Federation of State Medical Boards; and the National District Attorneys Association.
