Honor Flight takes vets to D.C.

This Week COUNTY

By Maggie Morgan maggie@denpubs.com

WARRENSBURG Ñ The Leatherstocking Honor Flight, a program that offers WWII veterans a free trip to Washington D.C., departed on their final flight of the season on Oct. 4. The program takes four trips a year, two in the spring and two in the fall, giving veterans a chance to see breathtaking memorials that many of them would never have the chance to experience firsthand. Denise Di Resta, Director of Warren CountyÕ s VeteransÕ Services, was busy preparing for the final flight of the season which left on Saturday, Oct. 4, at 4 a.m. For this trip, Warren CountyÕ s VeteransÕ Services brought eight vets and eight guardians to Albany Airport where they would begin the all-day voyage. The trip is completely free to all WWII and Korean war veterans who must fill out an application and are chosen on a first come, first serve basis. The entire journey costs around $350 which is covered by donations and fundraisers. Ò It is the time of their life,Ó said Di Resta. Ò They are overwhelmed, itÕ s a wonderful day, they didnÕ t think people cared and we do.Ó CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

WARRENSBURG Ñ Garlic, a cultural phenomenon for about 7,000 years, will be celebrated at the Friday Oct. 10 edition of the Warrensburg FarmersÕ Market. Set for 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., the annual Garlic Festival of the Warrensburg FarmersÕ Market features a variety of offerings related to the pungent bulb.

Several vendors will be selling an array of garlic varieties, far more distinctive than the ones available in supermarkets. Some of the vendors will be offering samplings of dishes using garlic as a key ingredient. Recipes using garlic scapes, whole bulbs and cloves will be available.

Contests are to be held for the best dishes Ñ entrees, appetizers, soups, pasta, vegetable dishes and desserts Ñ featuring garlic.

Warrensburg horse farm adds tack shop to their services By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ What was once the Howard Hall Dairy Farm (and the first house in Warrensburg) and then the Kit N Kin Ranch is now also the Ò Farm House Tack ShopÓ as of Sept. 1. The shop is the newest addition to a horse farm ran by Lou and Amy Zahra since they acquired the property from AmyÕ s dad in 1990. The two horse whisperers are excited to share the plethora of merchandise and their new endeavor with both new and returning customers. Upon entering the shop, one feels an automatic sense of comfort. The walls are decorated with pictures of Amy and Lou from their glory days (Amy was a pinto reserve world champion and Lou went for team roping) and a remarkable amount of tack. What looks like it might be a small space holds what Lou said is the, Ò biggest selection of team rope in the area.Ó The Farm House Tack Shop has an array of saddles, tack, pads, horse grooming products, helmets including a full line of the Troxel brand, original Billy Cook products, 5-Star Equine pads and cinches, Equibrand, Classic Equine, Weaver Leather and Tory Leather. The two experts say it is the best of the best, and with the way business is booming it seems they are right. Ò We are always busy, but this business has drawn new people,Ó said Lou as Amy nodded in agreement. Ò We needed this in the area, to serve the North Country.Ó The Zahras explain that this is their passion, and the two have been operating the Kit N Kin

Ranch for several purposes since they started in 1990. The horses usually live there their entire life. The Zahras board, train, breed, rope, show, as well as hold equestrian events like barrell races and gymkanas. Lou, who is also a fulltime sales manager for Bass Pro Shops, said Amy remains busy while heÕ s gone and that, Ò sheÕ s the one in charge.Ó Ò What is more important is what we do for the kids in town,Ó said Lou. Ò First they start with lessons, next they get their own horse, then they are here helping out with responsibilities and chores-the parents love it.Ó Lou said that they have seen up to four generations of kids grow up at Kit N Kin, some of them now in their 30Õ s. The Zahras consider their community involvement as perhaps their biggest contribution to the area. Ò We donÕ t have kids of our own, but we feel like some of them are our children,Ó said Lou. Ò They grew up with us.Ó The Zahras offer both Western and Englishdiscipline equipment to an area that was in high demand for the products. Lou said that it was a natural extension of their business and it is clear that this was the right step to go in. The Zahras plan on adding more as they go along, mentioning a possible consignment area as well as their plans to be a dealer/installation service of Ritchie Equine Water Systems. The Farm House Tack Shop houses top of the line equipment while the Kit N Kin Ranch provides professional training, hands-on lessons, and a strong bond with the community. The shop is open six days a week and customers are encouraged to make appointments in advance.

Local activist asks county to lift Bikeway path dog ban

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY Ñ A community activist who has planted thousands of flowers along the Warren County Bikeway is now lobbying county officials to allow dogs on the popular venue. Fredd Senser-Lee, known regionally for his efforts to promote floral plantings along bike trails around Northeastern U.S., pleaded Sept. 29 with county Supervisors on the Public Works Committee to lift a long-standing prohibition of dogs on the bikeway. He said that it would be more welcoming to both residents and visitors for the county to allow dogs. However, County Public Works Superintendent Jeff Tennyson said that allowing dogs on the Bikeway posed safety

concerns as well as the nuisance of dog owners not cleaning up excrement left by their canine companions. But Senser-lee responded said that the countyÕ s Bikeway is the only such bicycle path between Westchester County and Maine that bans dogs. He said he interviewed all the animal control officers of Warren County BikewayÕ s host towns, and they said they hadnÕ t experienced a problem with dogs Ñ although the creatures are being walked along the path routinely regardless of the ban. Ò There are dogs on the bikeway every day from dawn to dusk, and their owners pick up after them,Ó he said. But County Attorney Martin Auffredou said that liability remained a concern, and the countyÕ s insurance carrier should be consulted before any decision is made to change the ordinance banning dogs.

Senser-Lee countered that such liability issues havenÕ t deterred dozens of other municipalities in the Northeast with bike paths from allowing dogs. Glens Falls Ward 2 Supervisor Peter McDevitt agreed with Senser-Lee that dogs were routinely on the county Bikeway and heÕ s not yet heard of problems. Ò Dogs have been leashed and under control and well-mannered,Ó he said. Senser-Lee also said that some bicyclists tend to speed along the pathway, presenting a hazard to pedestrians. Ò ItÕ s a family bikeway, and if a biker hits someone, it would be terrible,Ó he said, suggesting that the county consult with the county Safe & Quality Bicycling Organization and consider potential remedies. Lake George Supervisor Dennis Dickinson agreed with Senser-Lee, noting that bicyclists ride fast and seem to appear out of nowhere around turns. Ò You canÕ t always hear them coming on the bike trail,Ó he said, adding that the county should discuss erecting caution signs. The committee tabled the issue of lifting the dog prohibition, pending further research.

Burghers silence Toms in sudden death field hockey match By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ The Warrensburg Burghers and Corinth Tomahawks squared off Wednesday, Oct. 1, in an Adirondack League field hockey showdown. Corinth won the first meeting between the teams earlier this year in a hard fought contest, and right from the start Warrensburg matched the TomahawkÕ s intensity. The first 10 minutes of the game was a back and forth affair until Heather Wood struck first for the Burghers on an assist from Mikayla Nissen. With Warrensburg up 1-0, the two teams exchanged shots for the rest of the first half. Burgher goalie Liz Turner recorded many of her eight total saves early in the game and Beverly Morrison played stout defense in keeping the Toms at bay. Corinth goalie, Kyleigh Mosher, also played a strong first half and the teams went into the break with the Burghers clinging to a one goal advantage. As the second half began, Warrensburg kept up the pressure before Bailey Smith scored on an assist from Aineen Callahan to

give the Burghers a 2-0 lead. Moments later, Smith returned the favor passing to Callahan for a hard shot to the top corner of the net. Now behind 3-0, Corinth showed the resilliance that has driven them to a winning record this year, answering back quickly with a goal by Ellie Lockhard. In the ensuing action, both teams had multiple scoring opportunities, but it was CorinthÕ s Lindsey Holcomb that scored next, banging in a shot to pull the Toms within one, 3-2. With time starting to become a factor, Corinth continued to battle and Tori Trerise knotted the score at 3-3 on a long feed from Lockhart. The teams traded jabs until the final horn sounded, sending the game into overtime. The extra period began with the two squads paired down to a 7-on-7 tilt, a setup that creates more scoring space but less room for error. Shortly into overtime, Warrensburg senior Callahan received the ball from Erin Langworthy in her own end and raced down the length of the field. Pulling away from CorinthÕ s defenders, Callahan launched a shot on goal. Mosher, made an impressive save, but Callahan pounced on the rebound, sending in the winning goal in a tight and thrilling contest.

Battle-hardened Burghers now looking forward to 2015 By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Despite having lost their first four games of the season and being eliminated from Sectional competition, the Warrensburg High School Football Team is focused on finishing off the season by working hard and winning games, their coach said this week. Ò Our players are staying positive, thinking about how they can improve, getting some more experience and looking forward to next year,Ó Coach Mike Leonbruno said. Knowing that they are losing only three Seniors to graduation in June, the players understand they have a very promising prospects for 2015, he said. Ò Although we are losing Rogers McLaughlin, Aiden Szabo and Alec Olden Ñ three key players Ñ we have strong hopes for next year,Ó he said. The Burghers have a powerful offensive attack, primarily on

the ground. But their lengthy drives, punctuated with explosive runs, have often been thwarted by turnovers Ñ a problem for the Burghers during the past half-dozen seasons. “We had 17 fumbles in the first three games, and you can’t beat anyone with those numbers,Ó Leonbruno said. Ò Our 0-4 record doesnÕ t show how good a team we really are.Ó Ahead for the Burghers is an away game versus Cambridge Saturday Oct. 11, followed by the 2014 homecoming game against Fort Edward on Oct. 18. Cambridge lost to Whitehall Oct. 4 in a battle of the unbeatens, and Fort Edward currently has a 0-4 record after a 34-8 loss to Canajoharie Oct. 4. Leonbruno said heÕ s been attempting to set up a season-ending game with perennial rival Lake George, which merged this year with Hadley-Luzerne. This joint team has also had a challenging season, having lost all of its five games, most of them by a wide margin. The WarEagles lost Oct. 3 to Mechanicville by a score of 61-0.

For these next several games, Warrensburg will have to make some roster shifts, as one of their two leading running backs, Junior Donnie Stone, has been sidelined by a concussion. Stone has been regularly racking up 100 yards or more per game alongside classmate Joey Schuster, also a standout athlete. Leonbruno said that his players are practicing hard and will be putting up some tough competition, particularly against Fort Edward. Ò If we stop making mistakes, we will come out on top,Ó he said. Ò WeÕ ll let them know weÕ re a good team, regardless of our record.Ó The Burgher athletes are not dwelling on the seasonÕ s losses, but theyÕ re looking forward, Leonbruno said. Ò Our players are disappointed because they know we should be in the playoffs, but the past is the past,Ó he said. Ò WeÕ re building our skills and confidence, and we plan on keeping the momentum going off-season. Ò We want to give the season a positive ending so we can roll into 2015 with a good attitude.Ó

Bolton-Warrensburg girls soccer team grabs league leadership By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com BOLTON LANDING Ñ With an upset 3-2 victory Oct. 2 over the perennial league-leading Lake George Warriors, the Bolton-Warrensburg Girls Soccer team are now headed towards the 2014 Adirondack League championship. If their winning ways continue, it will be the first such championship for the Bolton Eagles in their half-dozen years in the Adirondack League. It will also be a formidable accomplishment for the debut year of the newly merged squad Ñ Bolton joined forces with Warrensburg High this year in soccer due to the schoolsÕ declining enrollment. Ò WeÕ ve always been in shadow of Lake George, and now weÕ re stepping out of that shadow,Ó Bolton-Warrensbnurg Coach Patrick Morency said this week. “Hopefully we’ll finish off the season in the right way.Ó In the come-from-behind victory over Lake George, Sophomore Abbie Seamans played a key role. With 12 minutes left on the clock, Seamans tied the game Ñ then in the last 52 seconds of play, she scored the game-sealing goal. Lake GeorgeÕ s Carly Vreugde scored two goals in the first half, and Ryley Scott of Warrensburg scored one for the Eagles. Abbie Seamans tied the game by scoring on a ball passed to her near the goal by her older sister, Olivia Seamans. With about 53 second left, Erin Courchaine passed her the ball about 20 feet away from the goal, and Abbie Seamons blasted a shot past the Lake George goalie. With the win, Bolton-Warrensburg was 6-1 in the league and 9-2 overall Ñ poised to capture their first league trophy. The team’s earlier matchup this season against Lake George this season was responsible for their sole 2014 league loss. Tuesday Oct. 7, Bolton-Warrensburg continued their winning ways, defeating Whitehall in a 3-1

victory in which Abbie and Olivia Seamans each scored one goal and Ryley Scott scored another. The solid effort boosted the teamÕ s league record to 7-1. Two more league games and two non-league matchups remain for the regular season, Morency said. Ò ThereÕ s still a lot of work to be done,Ó he said. Ò WeÕ re not used to being in this position, and we have to continue to work hard and hope chances keep falling our way.Ó While Morency gave some credit to luck, sports observers note the playersÕ exceptional skills and determination. Without question, the team has an outstanding depth of talent. For several years, the Bolton Girls Soccer Team has featured more area All-Stars in their lineup than any other team in the region. The Seamans sisters and Erin Courchaine have been demonstrating their talents annually since they were drafted into Varsity in junior high school. Since the beginning of their careers, theyÕ ve

annually captured area All-Star titles. Along with Ryley Scott, this trio has been leading the offense this year. Olivia Seamans has proven her talent on the national level as a key player on the Albany-area club soccer team that in 2013 won a national title. On Oct. 4, when Olivia scored two goals in the EaglesÕ 7-1 victory over Heatly, she set the schoolÕ s all-time girls soccer scoring record with 92 career goals. Morency noted that Abbie is following in her big sisterÕ s footsteps. Ò Abbie is Ò Very fast, very strong, also sheÕ s quick in her first several steps,” he said. “She’s got a nice touch on the ball and she’s really nice finisher. With the ball at her feet and going into defenders oneon-one, she creates space for herself.Ó Morency continued, noting that Abbie also creates opportunities for other players with her many assists. Noting that seven of his players play travel soccer year-round, Morency offered his thoughts on

the teamÕ s abilities. Ò When we have the ball, weÕ re pretty dangerous,” he said. “We have dynamic players who find a way to score goals. When we have ball in our attacking half of the field, our players do a good job of creating chances.Ó Morency also credits his strong defensive squad. Ò Sarah Calzada, Madelyn Pratt, Lindsay Markham and Caroline Clesceri have been amazing as a defensive unit,Ó he said, noting theyÕ ve taken the pressure off goalie Andi Pfau Ñ who has tallied four shutouts this year. PfauÕ s work in the net has made her a league-leader in her role. Morency noted that at this point, a Ô Most ImprovedÕ title belongs to Freshman Caitlyn Speranza of Bolton, who’s been a midfield starter all year. “Caitlyn has good field vision, and she’s done a really good job moving the ball forward,Ó Morency said. Ò SheÕ s a very hard worker defensively.Ó Warrensburg has added a solid amount of talent to the squad, Morency said, mentioning Melenie Warner and center-forward Ryley Scott in particular. Ò Ryley has been a huge lift offensively,Ó he said. Ò The Warrensburg girls have been really, really hard workers, and they complement the Bolton players,Ó he said. Ò TheyÕ ve made the merger transition really easy.Ó Morency added that his team has great chemistry and exceptional competitive drive. Ò The girls play for each other, which is a huge credit to them,Ó he said. Ò They are excited about their accomplishments, but they understand that we have a long way to go. The players are not taking anything for granted Ñ they are all working very hard in practice.Ó ABOVE: With 52 second left on the clock in a game against Lake George Oct. 2, Bolton-Warrensburg AllStar soccer player Abbie Seamans kicks the gamewinning goal, blasting it past defenders.

Cuomo needs to step to the plate and debate

ov. Andrew Cuomo has done a lot for the North Country to boost our sagging economic fortunes, like promoting tourism, hammering out a moderate agreement on the Essex Chain Lakes, pouring cash into infrastructure development and rolling back restrictions on craft breweries, a measure that further uncorks the bottled-up entrepreneurial spirit of our fellow New Yorkers. But heÕ s done a lot of unpalatable stuff, too, mostly when it comes to the SAFE Act and the property tax freeze, a shell game that has left rural governments in the lurch. HeÕ s up for re-election on Nov. 4. But you were probably only vaguely aware of that because heÕ s coasted through election season without debating his opponents, the most visible platform to discuss the issues. First he pacified the Working Families Party by whispering sweet nothings at them, promising to bring the state Senate back under Democratic control. After they rolled over, Zephyr Teachout emerged from the ashes. She was ignored until the last days of the Democratic primary campaign, when Cuomo begrudgingly rallied his troops and made a few campaign stumps, including at the Labor Day Parade in New York, where he ignored Teachout when she tried to shake his hand. Despite skipping the North County on her barnstorm tour across the state, Teachout won every county in the North Country except for Franklin, taking 30 percent of the Democratic vote while spending one-fortieth as much for the votes as Cuomo did. And then thereÕ s Rob Astorino, his Republican challenger, the Westchester County Executive who formed an unlikely alliance with Teachout during the primary by debating the issues. He, too, is being snubbed by Cuomo. When asked last month about debates, Cuomo said they can be a Òd isservice to democracy.Ó We think that line of thinking is a disservice to democracy. Astorino is a likeable guy with some bright ideas, like loosening the stateÕ s crippling regulatory efforts, reforming New YorkÕ s bloated Medicaid and pension system and increasing funding for vocational programs in high schools to shore up rural economies. Too bad the public wonÕ t get a chance to hear him out. After ignoring AstorinoÕ s call for eight debates across the state Ñ the issues facing each region are myriad, he argued, and each needs

an in-depth discussion to address their needs Ñ Cuomo finally capitulated. Last week, the Cuomo campaign agreed to one televised debate in Buffalo with Astorino, Howie Hawkins, the Green Party candidate, and Libertarian candidate Michael McDermott. But Cuomo will not debate Astorino one-onone in a televised debate, only radio. Cuomo has refused all offers to engage Astorino using the most accessible medium for voters. This is problematic for a number of reasons, namely because the compressed formats will lend themselves to little aside from cheap shots, platitudes and talking points. In other words, nothing that will significantly jeopardize the air of invincibility surrounding King CuomoÕ s second coronation. We understand that from a strategic level, Cuomo is just being shrewd. With a commanding 25 point lead, a gap that shrinks to nine percent in the North Country, Cuomo has little to gain from putting himself out there, especially considering heÕ s under federal investigation for his role in disbanding the anti-corruption Moreland Commission. But voters Ñ and we canÕ t believe this actually needs to be said Ñ have the right to expect to hear from the candidates and learn more about the issues so that they can make the most welleducated decision when they go to the polls. In fact, according to a recent Marist poll, while half of registered voters have already decided on their pick, 45 percent think a debate would help them make up their minds, while 78 percent think all of the candidates on the ballot should be included in the debates, not just Cuomo and Astorino. Having just one televised debate in a state where the stakes are so high isnÕ t enough. If Cuomo can find time to go to Israel and Afghanistan on the taxpayerÕ s dime to promote democratic ideals, then he can certainly do the same right here in his backyard. Since heÕ s running on his accomplishments Ñ balancing the stateÕ s unruly budget that has kept spending increases down and a series of economic proposals that have revitalized small industries Ñ he should have no trouble making the case for another four years. Eight debates is too many, but voters in the North Country, those who perhaps are crippled the most by some of his most controversial policies, deserve better. ÑD

Do you believe Essex County acted properly in awarding Frontier Town to North Hudson?

I think George Moore got screwed on a fair bid. It seems to me they went through this big expensive process and then changed their mind when it didnÕ t suit them.

Adirondack Journal - 7

I think Frontier Town is a lost asset if it just sits there empty not generating any revenue.

Barrie Finnegan

PLATTSBURGH

I donÕ t think itÕ s right to withhold from the winning bidder. ThereÕ s a system in place and that should be followed.

Doug Downs

KEENE VALLEY

No, I donÕ t agree. I think that the county municipalities seem to always have the upper hand even more so than hard working taxpayers.

Yes. I think it should be handed over to someone who will actually do something with the place.

Turning Back the Pages By Jean Hadden One Hundred Years Ago – October, 1914 Tragedy on Panther Mountain

John Thompson, of New York City, was accidentally shot in both feet by Walter Young, of Chestertown, Thursday afternoon, Oct. 1, 1914, while the two were hunting on Panther Mountain near that village. The left foot was the most seriously injured and it is feared that amputation may be necessary, though every effort to save it is being made by the surgeons of Glens Falls Hospital, where the young man was taken after the accident. Thompson had been in Chestertown several weeks recuperating from a long siege of ill health. With Young, a resident of the village, he started out partridge hunting shortly after noon. After roaming through the woods for three hours, the young men started home and on reaching a clearing near the base of the mountain, sat down to rest and clean their guns. Thompson sat with his feet crossed and directly opposite his companion. Young was carrying a Winchester repeating shot gun and in some manner as he opened the barrel to throw out the unused cartridge, his finger pressed the trigger and the gun was discharged, the contents of the shell passing through the center of ThompsonÕ s left foot and the side of his right foot. Terrified at the wound he had inflicted upon his chum, Young rushed at top speed to the nearest house and summoned aid. The youth was carried to the Chester House (hotel) and two Chestertown physicians attended him there. They agreed that the wound was so serious that it might be necessary to amputate the left foot and ordered the young manÕ s removal to the Glens Falls Hospital. He was taken there in an automobile and a consultation of doctors was held almost immediately after his arrival, but no decision has yet been arrived at.

One bullet, two wounded

J. Frank Waldron, a well known contractor of North Creek, Friday morning, Oct. 9, 1914, shot both himself and his wife, with one bullet from a revolver which was accidentally discharged, he says, while he was cleaning it. The bullet first passed through Mr. Waldron’s right hand and then struck his wife in the head. Neither wound was serious and both victims are recovering in the Glens Falls Hospital, where they were taken by Dr. Lee Somerville immediately after the shooting.

H.G. Wells dazzles readers

Famous British author H.G. Wells has written an original story entitled, Ò The World Set Free, a Story of Mankind,Ó which will appear in segments in the Warrensburgh News. The story will detail what he believes will be EuropeÕ s Armageddon, the last of all wars, which will wipe out all dynasties and to be the end of all crowns and thrones to become a world of one nation forever. This is a story of the ongoing Ò Great WarÓ that is taking place in Europe today. Readers will be thrilled and marvel at the accuracy of this illustrious authorÕ s vision. (Note Ð Herbert George Wells is best remembered for his science fiction stories such as the popular 1895 fantasy, Ò The Time Machine.Ó and in 1898, Ò The War of the Worlds.Ó He was a great advocate for world peace and detested World War I, which was raging in Europe.)

Noble lady passes away

Mrs. Fred Filkins, 26, passed away Friday, Sept. 18, 1914, at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chauncey Millington, at Riverside. The funeral was held at the Methodist Episcopal Church

in Johnsburgh the following Monday, the Rev. Frank D. Lawyer, of Fort Plain, officiating. Internment was in the cemetery at Johnsburgh. Death was due to tuberculosis. Mrs. Filkins is survived by her parents, several brothers and sisters, her husband and two little children, Ernest Filkins, aged 4 and Margaret Filkins, 3 years old. She was a woman of rare nobility of character. Early on she gave her life to Christ and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church when she was about sixteen years of age. The refining and ennobling influences of the spirit of her Master were evident in all the relations of her life. She was a true helpmate of her husband and an affectionate and devoted mother to her children. The influence of her noble life abides. She looks for that city that hath foundations.

Area maple trees in England

Dr. Lee Somerville, of North Creek, has bought the first growth maple on about 1,000 acres of timber land in the southern part of Warrensburgh owned by John H. Lockwood of this place and Patrick Moynehan, of Glens Falls. He is now lumbering it and will ship the logs to North Creek where they will be worked up into mangle rollers in his mill at that place. The entire product of the mill will this year be shipped to England. Last season part of it went to Germany, but this market is now cut off because of the great war that it now going on in Europe.

The golden days of autumn

The gorgeous colors of the autumn foliage now adorn the landscape and awaken the admiration of all lovers of the beautiful. The leaves of the village maples are, however, failing rapidly and the trees are beginning to show their bare limbs. This serves to remind us of the near approach of old King Winter. Chestnuts are ripe and there is a bumper crop which has appeared in the local market. Drought continues for some time and a heavy rainfall is badly needed. Seth A. Reed, on his place on Ridge Street, Warrensburgh, raised an apple that weighed half an ounce less than a pound. It is known as the Alexander and is certainly a beauty, a big, red, rosy cheeked beautifully shaped specimen. (Note Ð We all need to be grateful to John Chapman (aka Ò Johnny AppleseedÓ ) for spreading those European apple seeds on American soil. In 1899 Seth Reed built a fine greenhouse near his home on Ridge Street and legend has it that he had a great affection for carnations. He died in 1953.) Six local hunters, B.B. Bibby, Don H. Heath, Fred W. Hall, Edison Granger, E.C. Ò KidÓ Manzer and Herbert Smith, spent the first two days of the hunting season at J.D. McSweeney’s Mountain View House at Minerva, returning with two bucks. The largest weighed 189 and a half pounds and was killed by Mr. Hall. Don Heath got the other one.

Love and marriage

Newspaper ad Ð Ò Marry Ð send for free description and photos of marriageable ladies, many beautiful and wealthy. The Pilot, Hampton, New Jersey.Ó The Rev. Archibald McGlashan, a former pastor of the Baptist Church, in Horicon and Mrs. Florence Hammet, of Rochester, were married Sept. 10, 1914 at the brideÕ s home. Miles C. Culver, of Chestertown and Miss Charlotte Hayes, of Adirondack, were married at that place on Sept. 19, 1914 by

the Rev. W.S. Johnson, of Horicon. They went to Glens Falls for their honeymoon, remaining there for two weeks before returning to Adirondack where they will reside for the present with the brideÕ s parents, Mr. and Mrs. H.B. Hayes. George Hughes Lockart, of Lake George and Miss Jane Marie Owens, of Fort Ann, were married the afternoon of Oct. 7, 1914 at the home of the brideÕ s sister, Mrs. G.R. Lander, 98 Ridge Street, Glens Falls. The bride was dressed in a tailored suit of blue French broadcloth and wore a hat to match. After their honeymoon, they will reside at DunhamÕ s Bay, Lake George. George Bennett and Miss Fannie May Olden were united in marriage, Oct. 14, 1914, at the residence of Eugene Morrison on Schroon Avenue, Warrensburgh. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Thomas J. Hunter, pastor of the Baptist Church. Arthur Hayes, of Athol, town of Thurman, was granted an interlocutory degree of divorce by Justice C.C. Van Kirt in Supreme Court at Saratoga Springs.

Sweet and sour notes

The things you did yesterday do not relieve you of your duties of today and more than the things you plan to do tomorrow. The old John Moon farm house on Hudson Street, Warrensburgh, purchased by D.E. Pasco at auction sale last spring, is undergoing extensive repairs and improvements both inside and out. (Note Ð This house is today standing at the north corner of Hudson Street and First Avenue.) Alonzo and Lodema (lyng) White have a lovely little three year old daughter, Mabel S. White who was born March 27, 1911 in Stony Creek. (Note Ð Mabel S. Thomas, 103, the widow of Francis S. Thomas, died Sept. 26, 2014 at her home in Stony Creek. Mrs. Mary Sage, of Darrowsville, Chestertown, who is 105 years old and still spry and chipper, is enjoying a few days visit with her daughter, Mrs. Rufus D. Hastings. The Woolen Mill, on Milton Avenue, Warrensburgh, was shut down on the night of Oct. 7, 1914 for repairs to the dam. The Pants Factory was run by steam during that period. The roadway on Elm Street, from the brow of the hill near the residence of Dr. A.J. Pitcher to the Osborne Bridge, is being improved by a covering of hardpan. (Note Ð Dr. Alfred J. Pitcher, a veterinary, was supervisor of Warrensburgh from 1908 to 1911 and he, his wife, Lydia and two daughters, Bertha and Ada, lived in a house on Elm Street, behind the bandstand. He died in 1943.) William G. Hayes of Lewisville, Warrensburgh, has traded his residence property here with Joshua Baker for a farm in Thurman. Unconfirmed reports say that Mrs. Lewis Everts, of Warrensburgh, while in Horicon recently, sold her farm to Joseph Persons. D.C. Remington and Stillman F. Town are painting R.T. WoodwardÕ s house on Hudson Street. After 25 years of quiet life, Mrs. Edgar Gregory, of Horicon, is happy over the arrival of a baby girl, Helen Gregory, born Sunday night, Sept. 27, 1914. A son was born to Mrs. Bert Bateman on Friday, Sept. 25, 1914 in Sodom. A son was born to Mrs. Robert Russell on Sept. 27, 1914 in Bakers Mills. Harvey Bryant, 47, died Saturday, Sept. 26, 1914 after a weekÕ s illness of pleura-pneumonia. He leaves a widow and one son, Lewis Bryant. Burial was in the Warrensburgh Cemetery. Mrs. Louis W. Emerson left Oct. 14, 1914 for Lindsey, California where she will spend the winter on her orange farm. Mrs. Edmond Aldrich and Mrs. Frank Clute, both of Stony Creek, picked twenty-five quarts of raspberries recently.

Letters to the Editor

United Way needs you To the Adirondack Journal: The need for the services that United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. helps support has never been greater. Employment, construction and tourism are down yet gas, food and utility costs are rising. Demands on public agencies, food pantries, utility funds, and free clinics are much higher than last year and from people who have never requested assistance before. State funding to public and private agencies has been slashed, at the same time that requests for assistance are increasing. United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. helps fill that gap. The United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. has been a part of this community for over sixty years. Our main role is providing financial support to local health and human service programs to 41 partner agencies. We do not just provide a blank check to these agencies; we fund specific programs

with measurable outcome objectives ensuring the funds invested on your behalf are making the greatest impact on community needs. I realize that many are facing financial pressures in their own families. But, I hope people would give as generously as they can. IÕ m sure they know someone who has been helped by one of the United Way partner agencies, a neighbor, co-worker, student, and quite likely their own family. The United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. needs your help this year. If you work for one of the 170 businesses that allow you to donate through payroll deduction, that is the easiest way. If your employer doesnÕ t offer a workplace campaign, please ask if they will start one. If youÕ ve received a letter from the United Way please reply. Even a small amount can make a big difference in the lives of others in need in our community. Please support our local United Way. Kathy Snow Director of Development

lined up clapping, shaking our hands, congratulating us,Ó Powers said. Ò ItÕ s a sight to see, to hear...a sight I wonÕ t forget.Ó Piana, a school teacher, had her entire family there to greet Cal and the other vets. A pair of children, Cal guessed about eight years old, held posters that said Ò Thank you Cal Powers.Ó Piana also handed the vet a card one of her students made him, which he was incredibly moved by and even sent her a thank you card back. These people, complete strangers to Powers, were thanking him for a service he did for them, for our entire country. Special speakers and officials offered prayers for a safe trip, and soon the veterans and their guardians boarded the flight to Baltimore. Powers said that every stop was a secret, no one knew where exactly they were going or how the trip would unfold. - See more on this story at adirondackjornal.com

Free launch announced

LAKE GEORGE Ñ The Harris Bay Marina has teamed up the Village of Lake George to assist boaters wishing to launch for the fall season and enjoy Lake George. After the State announced the closing of the free launch at the Million Dollar Beach, many boaters, particularly fishermen, were left without an economical option to launch. Mayor Robert Blais announced the VillageÕ s public docks would be available free of charge for overnight parking if boaters wished to fish multiple days. With many private launches charging $30 to $40 to launch it still left some launches too expensive. Harris Bay Marina manager Greg Meader and Mayor Blais have announced that their launch site will be open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday. Launch fees will be $15 in and out, or $40 for a full season pass. The hours are subject to change. All boats must be inspected prior to launch and can return to the nearest inspection station on the same day for re-tagging. Boats using the VillageÕ s public docks must register at the Village Hall for multiple day dockage.
