Diamond Island upgrade plan endorsed

Schools ‘Buddy Bench’ at N. Warren

LAKE GEORGE Ñ An initiative to restore the natural vegetation and ambiance of Diamond Island on Lake George has been proposed, and the town board enthusiastically endorsed the concept at their recent monthly meeting.

The state-owned island, about three miles north of Lake George, hosts some campsites managed by the state Department of Environmental Conservation.

Lake George Town Board member Marisa Muratori presented the proposal to the town council. She conducted a slide presentation at their Oct. 20 meeting, showing images of how the island was overrun by the invasive plant species MorrowÕ s Honeysuckle, and how the primitive outhouses were apparently being vandalized.

She proposed that the town head up an effort to have the invasive plants removed and upgrade the campsite facilities Ñ and build modern outhouses that were pleasant rather than offensive and polluting. She noted that she discovered the degraded conditions on the island when rowing her dory there this year.

The Glen Bridge, which carries state Rte. 28 over the Hudson River in southeast Thurman, is to have its foundation reconstructed in an $8.3 million FEMA project, anticipated to begin in 2016. The bridge is one of 105 across the state that were identified as flood-prone.

NORTH WARRENÑ In recent years, bullying has been recognized as a significant obstacle that has reared its ugly head in the lives of countless children and teens.

What was once, Ò just a part of growing up,Ó has been deemed a serious issue, and many organizations are addressing it head on.

North Warren Elementary School has set an example with the the installation of a, Ò Buddy Bench,Ó a proactive effort in response to bullying.

Deidre Hill, North Warren ElementaryÕ s school counselor, first heard about the idea last spring.

She read an article about another school in the country who had introduced a Buddy Bench to their playground and thought a similar project would benefit North Warren.

The bench serves a specific purpose: if students are lonely or have no one to play with during recess, they are encouraged to sit on the buddy bench so other students will notice.

THURMAN Ñ The bridge carrying state Rte. 28 over the Hudson River in southeast Thurman Ñ known as Ò The Glen BridgeÓ Ñ is to have its foundation rebuilt in the near future, according to state and federal officials.

An $8.3 million grant has been awarded to upgrade the span by constructing reinforced abutments that are more resistant to scouring by floodwaters.

This bridge, a 370-feet-long span, carries an average of 3,450 vehicles per day, according to DOT spokesman Bryan Viggiani.

Constructed in 1959, The Glen Bridge was one of 105 across the state that was recently identified by state officials as being vulnerable to foundation-

scouring during extreme weather events, Viggiani said.

He added that a construction schedule has not been determined yet, but itÕ s anticipated that work will begin in 2016.

Viggiani said that although The Glen Bridge is considered flood prone, it is safe in its present condition.

“Trunk or Treat” haunts Horicon

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com HORICONÑ For the third year in a row, Trunk or Treat Horicon will come alive on Halloween night, Oct. 31.

Kevin Radford, who had previously headed the event, has passed the communty candy quest to Sarah Hayes. Hayes thinks that the celebration is a fun and necessary tradition that keeps kids trick or treating in town. Ò It is important to keep this going,Ó said Hayes. Ò It is easier for parents and keeps kids safe as well.Ó Trunk or Treat will take place behind HoriconÕ s town hall at 6 p.m., and Hayes said the party wonÕ t stop until 8 p.m. (or when the candy supply runs dry).

The event will offer juice and snacks to keep ghouls and goblins energized for their candy collecting endeavors. Inside the town hall, Hayes said there will be games for children to participate in as well. Ò In past years we have had over 200 kids,Ó said Hayes. Ò It has become a popular event.Ó Hayes, a member of the community herself, said houses in Brant Lake are few and far between, so this initiative allows more people to gather together to give children a bountiful Halloween.

The organizer, who has close ties with the Horicon Fire Department, noted that there will be a police officer in attendance as well as members from the fire department. The event has garnered quiet a few volunteers as well as local businesses who will be handing out candy to trick or treaters. Ò I wanted to carry on the tradition,Ó said Hayes who has a niece and four young cousins. Ò No one has to leave town and it is a safe, fun event for everyone.Ó

Wbg. 2015 budget rises, but is under tax cap

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ Lower projected revenues and some higher expenses will be prompting an increase in local taxes, according to the town of WarrensburgÕ s 2015 preliminary budget.

The General fund tax levy for 2015 is $1,178,500 Ñ an increase of $23,500 or 2.1 percent more than budgeted for 2014.

The Town tax rate for 2015 is predicted to be $3.52 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, an increase of 8 cents per thousand.

Although the increase in the tax levy is expected to be 2.1 percent, the townÕ s budget is at least $20,000 under the stateÕ s tax cap, town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty said. Ò We have no plans to override the tax cap,Ó he said.

Total town appropriations for both highway and general expenditures is to be $2.7 million, Ñ $34,693 more than budgeted in 2014, or a 1.3 percent increase.

Revenues for the townÕ s general municipal expenses are $13,750 less than 2014.

The townÕ s 2015 budget was adopted unanimously after a public hearing held Oct. 8 Ñ more than a month earlier than in prior years.

More generous property tax exemptions granted to senior citizens will be shifting slightly more of the 2015 tax levy to the rest of town taxpayers.

Geraghty said that about $1.3 million of additional property value will now be exempt from taxes. But that tax shift only represents $4,576 of the tax levy. Ò The Town Board continues to take into account our seniors

living on fixed incomes,” he said.

There is to be no increase in the taxes levied by the town lighting district or fire district. The rates charged by the town sewer and water districts are expected to remain the same.

The 2015 budget allows the town to continue providing services that the local taxpayers have been depending on, Geraghty said.

The town continues to share the services of the town Assessor with the town of Chester Ñ and WarrensburgÕ s town bookkeeper is now working one day per week in the town of Horicon Ñ which also saves expenses for Warrensburg.

Additional town personnel savings beginning in 2015 is to occur as two long-time employees retire. Town public works superintendent Tom Belden is scheduled to retire in March, and Rob Hall, an employee of the town Parks & Recreation and Buildings & Grounds department, is retiring this December.

Increases in Health Insurance costs continue to be of concern, but town employees have responded by accepting increased copayments for medical services, Geraghty continued.

The more liberal property tax exemption for seniors, approved in May 2013, increases the income threshold at which seniors are eligible for a sliding scale of property tax exemptions of up to 50 percent.

Geraghty said that the town is pursuing various grant-funded projects that improve the townÕ s infrastructure, and most of these awards require some percentage of investment by the town. Ò We continue to meet our grant obligations,Ó he said. Ò We have a solid work force and continue to complete projects without hiring outside contractors.Ó

Diamond Island

Continued from page 1 Muratori asked the town to apply for a grant from the Lake Champlain-Lake George Regional Planning board Ñ or other sources.

The island is considered historically and naturally significant.

Located about three miles north of Lake George Village, the island received its name due to the extensive deposits of glittering quartz in its rocky shores, and it was used as a munitions depot during the Revolutionary War. She presented slides depicting the honeysuckle crowding out native species and an overturned outhouse Ñ and toilet paper and human waste in the woods. Ò The two outhouses are so nasty that people donÕ t use them Ñ they steal the toilet paper and go off in the woods,Ó she said. Muratori added that the outhouses, which merely cover a pit in the ground, allow polluted effluent to seep into the lake — against DECÕ s own regulations.

She suggested that workers remove the honeysuckle bushes on Diamond Island and replant with native plants including cedar. She proposed that the primitive outhouses be replaced with modern European-style outhouses that compost human waste and have ventilation systems to make them more accommodating. She estimated that the high-tech outhouses might cost as much as $10,000.

The town Board approved MuratoriÕ s idea of granting permission for town Natural Resources Specialist Kathy Bozony to write grant applications for the initiative, which Muratori said could be a pilot project for the stateÕ s campgrounds on 44 islands they own in Lake George.

Muratori said that seeking a grant of $20,000 or so from the

Thurman’s proposed 2015 town budget spends less, but tax levy to increase

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com THURMAN Ñ The town of Thurman is planning to spend less in 2015 than during 2014 for municipal and highway expenses Ñ but due to shrinking revenues, the tax levy is expected to increase by 1.87 percent.

The increase in tax levy and projected tax rate are expected to reflect the maximum that complies with the state tax cap mandates.

The budget calls for the town to spend $1.45 million, to be offset by $747,545 in revenues and $60,000 in unexpended balance, leaving $646,273 to be raised by taxes Ñ an increase of $11,860 or 1.87 percent from 2014.

Appropriations for general municipal expenses are to go down $2,728 from last year, and highway appropriations are to decrease $22,000 Ñ combined reduction of about 1.7 percent from 2014. The 2015 budget for general municipal expenses draws $21,576 less from fund balance than the 2014 spending plan.

The town board not only shaved various expenses, but shelved some proposed initiatives. Those proposals that werenÕ t funded include increasing salaries of town employees Tennyson said that particular section of the Hudson River has historically experienced ice jams, and federal officials were likely seeking to avoid future problems.

Ice jams Ñ which occur when large chunks of ice flow downstream Ñ were common on the Hudson River during the early 1980s, but have been infrequent since. Three years ago, large ice jams formed but moved downstream without major incidents.

Thurman town Supervisor Evelyn Wood said the bridge reconstruction was welcome and forward-thinking. Ò This is wonderful,Ó she said. Ò The Glen Bridge is certainly very busy Ñ and itÕ s important to protect public safety.Ó

Wood said the town board would be looking toward building up the highway departmentÕ s fund balance, which was depleted due to the extensive flood damage occurring in 2011 and the hard winter of 2013.

Wood said that the 2015 town spending plan reflected fiscal conservatism. Ò Every year itÕ s a struggle to develop the town budget,Ó she said. Ò itÕ s fairly basic Ñ we did the best we could with it.Ó A public hearing on this preliminary budget was held Oct. 28. The board reviewed the budget, but took no vote on it.

High school students Matthew Smith, Olivia Hilton, Michael Parker, Tiler Cook and Mitchell Waukau, constructed a bench for the elementary students.

The Buddy Bench was installed on the elementary school playground recently and the school counselor thinks it has been working wonderfully so far. Hill said from what she understands, students are using the bench for exactly what it was intended for. Ò Students were educated about how the bench would be used,Ó she said. Ò It is not just an everyday bench to sit on if you are tired during recess.Ó

It’s the North Country: Be prepared

N

ow that we’ve all had out fill of the lovely fall colors, hot mulled cider and warm sugar donuts, itÕ s time to get down to the business of being from the North Country.

With only double digit days left until the end of the year, and snow in the forecast THIS WEEK, preparations for winter should be almost done by now, not just beginning. For far too many people in our region, preparations arenÕ t even underway, but are simply an after-thought once trouble arises.

When the snow starts to fly, the place for snow tires are on the car, not in the garage or on the tire rack at Sears. The first snowfall is historically a day of carnage on the roads, partly because people forget how to drive in the snow, but in no small part due to their trying to drive on summer slicks. Stop by any garage that sells tires the day after the first good snowstorm and observe the line of people desperate for their snow tires. Get them on now and save some time, very likely some money, and potentially a whole lot of front end damage.

Many people in the North Country lived through the ice storm of Ô 98. If you didnÕ t, chances are good that youÕ ve heard about it. Will we ever have another ice storm of that size and duration?

Your guess is as good as ours, but the trend for storms becoming worse and worse certainly leaves the possibility open. Even if we donÕ t see a storm of that magnitude, the chances are great that every winter we will lose power for one or several days due to ice and snow. DonÕ t be the person in line at the big box store on day two of a power failure looking for a generator to buy. They wonÕ t have any. if they do, youÕ ll likely pay about double for it. Now is the time to think about what you will need to keep your food from thawing and your pipes from freezing if you lose power for more than a few hours. If you determine that that means you need a generator, now is the time to buy one, not after the lights are out. If we do lose power for any extended period of time, the news will be populated with stories of people who die of carbon monoxide poisoning, or in house fires caused by Ô improvisedÕ heating systems. DonÕ t be a statistic, prepare now.

It seems obvious to state, but generators, and cars for that matter, run on gas Ñ lots of gas. Having a nice generator and one gallon of gas is not much help. A five gallon gas can will run a decentsized generator on and off for several days. Invest. And ice storms typically donÕ t sneak up on us.

If you hear of one in the offing, fill up your car in advance.

If a generator just isnÕ t in the budget, then at least everyone should have a supply of candles, flashlights and the like on hand. Not only do stores sell out of these items on about day two of a power outage, but driving to town to buy them puts you, other people, and emergency crews at risk when you should be home working your way through Ò War and PeaceÓ by candlelight.

With a good-sized ice or snow storm also comes driving bans. How many days can your food supply last? Thinking back to Ô 98, grocery stores donÕ t typically have more than a couple days worth of food supply on hand. A good North Country pantry should have at least that much nonperishable food already on hand. It doesnÕ t have to be anything fancy; some dry pasta entrees, a couple large cans of beef stew, a few gallons of bottled water. Just enough to keep you off the roads until they are safe to drive on and the grocery stores start getting deliveries again.

And finally, you aren’t the only one likely to get hungry after about two or three days with no contact to the outside world Ñ your dog or cat will be too. Anyone with pets should have a backup supply of food on hand for your pets as well. Again, its a safety issue to keep as many people off the roads as possible, but also because pet food stores can run out of food as well. You should have an extra large bag on hand at all times. When you finish a bag, use the extra bag and replace it, so itÕ s always somewhat fresh. That way youÕ re never out anything, and the animals under your care are taken care of too.

In short, you know itÕ s likely coming. Prepare now. No money you spend, whether its on food, gas or other supplies, is wasted. It may not save your life, but it can certainly make an uncomfortable time much more livable. ÑD

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden

One Hundred Years Ago – November, 1914 Story of an inhuman wretch

A dumb brute will fight for its young to the last gasp. With desperate ferocity it will battle over-whelming odds to protect its offspring from harm. It is only the human brute that will forsake his own flesh and blood, leaving a tender infant and its helpless mother to contend alone against the cold, cruel world. Such a brute is Sumner W. Robinson, late of Warrensburgh, who sneaked away from here recently leaving his young wife and baby daughter, seventeen months old, to shift for them selves.

Robinson is a skilled watchmaker who came here last February, 1913 and opened a repair shop on Hudson Street. He is a young man of good appearance and has a plausible manner. Conducting himself with a strict regard for the conventionalities, he made a good impression and soon worked up a profitable business.

The first inkling of his true character came when Counselor Lewis E. Crandall, along in June, received papers from Brooklyn demanding RobinsonÕ s arrest for deserting his family. This was not given out publicity, however and was known to only a few town officials. When the deserter was made aware of the charge against him he hushed the matter up and with the aid of his mother settled it by promising to bring his wife and baby girl here and care for them properly. The first part of his promise he kept but the last he did not. The woman and child were taken into the back room of his shop and forced to sleep on an old cot bed. He provided for them poorly, but the patient wife made no complaint and made the best of her hard lot.

In the meantime the despicable villain was prating of his morality and passing as a man of irreproachable character. With his smooth tongue he succeeded in imposing upon many merchants and he leaves behind him many unpaid debts which will probably never be liquidated, On Tuesday, Oct. 13, 1914, of last week, Robinson informed his wife that he had secured a position in Glens Falls. Before leaving he gave her a small amount of money and told her he would come home on Saturday. She was suspicious of his intentions but allowed him to go. She made inquiries, however, and found that the man for whom he said he was going to work had never heard of him.

RobinsonÕ s mother was informed of his departure and sent sufficient money to take care of her daughter-in-law and child to the home of her people in Brooklyn. Overseer-of- the- Poor Archer is looking for the man and if he is caught, will prosecute him to the full extent of the law.

Alive and glad of it

William Lackey, of Bakers Mills, employed at the Rogers Garnet Mines, at North River, fell into a pit fifty feet deep, Thursday, Oct. 29, 1914 and miraculously escaped with no broken bones.

Lackey was working on the brink of the pit using a pickaxe. The implement struck a rock and as he used extra force to loosen it the rock suddenly gave way and he lost his balance and fell backward over the edge.

Turning a somersault in his decent he struck on his hands and knees at the bottom of the pit. His head struck a rock and he received a severe scalp wound and his hands and knees were badly bruised, but his injuries were not considered serious. He expects to be on the job again after a few days rest at his home in Bakers Mills.

Reckless rider, seriously injured

Springing on his bicycle in front of the Grand Army House,

in Warrensburgh, at 7 oÕ clock, Sunday evening, Nov. 1, 1914, James Ladd, of North Caldwell, rode furiously down the grade. Swinging out at top speed to pass a buggy wagon moving slowly up the street, he crashed with terrible force into John G. HuntÕ s automobile, which was running slowly behind the wagon waiting for an opportunity to pass it.

Ladd struck the machine head on, shot over the hood and hit his face against the frame and glass of the left side of the windshield.

There was a crash of breaking glass, screams of horrified witnesses of the accident and then the man laid inert on the front of the auto, bleeding profusely from numerous wounds on his face and head. He was lifted off and laid on the ground where he quickly regained consciousness. He was then taken to the Warren House and placed on a billiard table where his injuries were examined and dressed by Dr. J.M. Griffin who was summoned to attend him. Dr. Goodman was called later and assisted in the work. One side of the nose was broken and there were two fractures of the upper jaw and one of the frontal bones over one eye. There were also some severe cuts on the back of his head caused from the broken glass of the windshield.

After LaddÕ s wounds had been dressed, physicians advised his immediate removal to the Glens Falls Hospital and he was taken there in the Haskell-Hall company storeÕ s auto delivery truck. The reports from his bedside state he is doing as well as can be expected and will recover.

Mr. HuntÕ s car was driven by Orley Hazelton and was occupied by the owner, his wife and daughters, Mrs. Margaret Lawrence and Miss Kate M. Hunt and Mrs. LawrenceÕ s little son, Richard. They were returning from a trip to Castleton. Mrs. Hunt was so horrified by the accident that she fainted.

Ladd is forty years old, unmarried and lives with his mother, who is a widow. He has only himself to blame for the accident as the driver of the auto did everything possible to avoid it. Had the machine been running at ordinary speed, the man would no doubt have been killed. (Note Ð The Grand Army House stood where George-HenryÕ s restaurant is today. The Warren House was in the present day parking lot south of New-Way Lunch , 3748 Main Street.)

The governor was accompanied by Thomas B. Lockwood, his running mate and James A. Lawnson, a prominent Albany attorney, both of whom gave addresses.

Prospect House era ends

News roundabout

The Prospect House property at Blue Mountain Lake, consisting of a big, tumble down structure with some 350 rooms, which was abandoned for hotel purposes some years ago, has been sold to Waldo Faulkner and Gilbert Kelley, of Blue Mountain Lake, who will tear down the old structure and build cottages in its place for the accommodations of the general public. They expect to fill them with summer guests next season. (Note – The Prospect House was built in 1882 by Frederick Durant and was six stories high. The hotel could accommodate 600 guests and was the only hotel in the world at that time that had electric lights in every guest room. The rates were $25 a week, $15 a week in off seasons. There was a steam powered elevator and a hotel orchestra played twice a day for the guests. Just as the shipÕ s orchestra played as the Titanic was sinking, I wonder if a person can still hear that ghostly music from the Prospect House orchestra as the wind blows through the trees there on a cold, windy HalloweÕ en night.)

Governor visits Glens Falls

Governor Martin H. Glynn addressed a large audience of enthusiastic Democrats at the Empire Theatre, Glens Falls, at noon, Monday, Oct. 19, 1914. In the audience were Henry Griffing, Fred J. Hayes, Thomas OÕ Connor, Thomas R. McGann, John L. Tubbs, Robert Cunningham and Henry Bennett, all of Warrensburgh.

Senator James A. Emerson and Mrs. Emerson were also present as interested listeners, although political opponents.

New business building

Charles E. Wheeler has entered into partnership with Timothy J. Lynch in the Adirondack Garage. In Warrensburgh they will erect a modern concrete building, 41Õ X 71Õ on the Pasko lot adjoining the Adirondack Hotel, the work upon which is now in progress. (Note Ð This garage was completed in 1915 and stood just north of Mountain Avenue with the parking lot between what is today Rite-Aid and Warrensburg Laundry and it ran as a garage until the early 1940Õ s.)

General news in brief

According to the German War Office, the Russians are maintaining a force of 800,000 men in their efforts to hold Warsaw, Poland and prevent General Von HindenburghÕ s attack from being carried to a successful conclusion. Despite this fact, it is said the German advance is proceeding slowly but surely. The Russians have already lost 40,000 men.

The Panama Canal is again open to traffic. Conditions at the scene of the recent land slide north of Gold Hill are now reported to be excellent.

Eight men were drowned when the barge on which they were hauling a heavy load of stone and timber sank in the Muskingum River.

Joseph Mantz, 78, of Fredonia, near Jamestown, shot and killed his wife, 75, and then shot himself, dying a few hours later.

Arriving incognito, in New York City, on the Red Star liner Finland, Miss Christabel Pankhurst, daughter of the famous English militant suffragette leader, got into the United States without hindrance from the immigration officials. She will lecture here on woman suffrage and their right to vote. (Note – A 1914 newspaper declared the definition of a woman as being Ò queen of the cook-stove throne.Ó )

The HalloweÕ en ghosts were out in full forcer and paraded the streets of little Adirondack playing a few innocent jokes on the unsuspecting townspeople.

Edward and Alice Beaulac have a lovely new baby daughter, Marjorie, who was born Nov. 8, 1914 in Hudson Falls. (Note - Marjorie Hughes, 99, of Lake George, the widow of Dr. Harry Hughes, died Oct. 4, 2014 at Glens Falls Hospital.

John Haydon, of Wevertown, drove to Warrensburgh, Friday, Oct. 23, 1914, behind a fine pair of beautiful iron grey horses.

Thurman Pierce has been employed this past summer as chauffeur for Miss Clara Richards at The Elms and now has returned to his home in WadhamsÕ George Thomson, of Spruce Mountain, has been suffering for several days from blood poisoning in his hand.

The Rev. Bert S. Van Vleet, of Igerna, Pastor of the Baptist Church at that place and also at Minerva, was in Warrensburgh one day recently and returned home with a Saxon runabout which he purchased from Edson Granger at the Warrensburgh Garage. Rev. Van Vleet expects to find the machine of great convenience to his pastoral work.

The engagement of the Corinth Dramatic Club to present the comedy-drama, Ò The Wedding Day,Ó on Tuesday night, Oct. 27, 1914, at Music Hall, Warrensburgh, was cancelled on account of the illness of an important member of the cast.

Letters to the Editor

Challenge to editorial To the Adirondack Journal: I am writing in response to your recent opinion column on the tax treatment of not for profit corporations in the Adirondacks.

The editorial board suggests (1) that (certain) not for profits should not enjoy tax exempt status, and (2) that eliminating that privilege would increase municipal revenue. IÕ d like to challenge your premise, and your math.

You begin by stating that a property tax exemption Ò seems like a legally sanctioned form of squatting.Ó You state that Ò some health care centers and hospitals say they provide a valuable service to the poor and have applied for tax exempt status.Ó Actually the patient make-up of a hospital has no bearing on the tax status of the business. Hospitals can operate as municipal, for profit, or not for profit corporations. The overwhelming majority of hospitals in this country operate as not for profits. That status helps to assure that the company’s primary purpose is to benefit the patients with no profit motive. All forms of hospitals take care of poor patients. All, including not for profits, expect patients to pay personally, or through insurance or Medicaid In addition to health care it will usually be a not for profit Ò .orgÓ that provides the emergency services and disaster response, the cultural opportunities and meeting places for houses of worship, the environmentally sensitive economic development and conservation efforts to help preserve the character of our Adirondack communities. The amount of money that these organizations might save from a property tax exemption is miniscule when compared to the positive economic impact that they make in their communities. I spend much of my time working with performing arts organizations. Numerous studies have shown that the economic impact of these groups Ð from job creation, tickets sales, and ancillary patron spending on meals, hotels, etc., dwarfs the few thousand dollars that they might save annually on property taxes. In addition these performing arts organizations provide much needed educational opportunities for children whose schoolsÕ music or art department has most likely been cut back or shuttered completely.

Lastly, you target organizations that might only benefit second

home owners who have Ò dropped inÓ from outside the region.

I would love to know which organizations you think only benefit this “select insular audience”. You mention none. Who shall decide which organizations are worthy Ð based strictly on merit - and which ones are not? That is a very slippery slope. And consider this: here in Schroon Lake most of the homes belong to this Ò select insular audienceÓ . That is a situation not unique to Schroon Lake. Every year, we second homeowners write checks to support our schools. We have no children attending the local school(s). When the Schroon Lake Central School required millions of dollars in state mandated upgrades a few years ago, most of those millions came from the weekenders and vacation homeowners. I, for one, happily supported that. Our school Ð and our teachers – rank among the best in the state. That benefits everyone, not just in a better educated population, but in quality of life and in property values.

You suggest that municipalities shine the floodlights on the not for profits in their communities to “determine if they benefit the community as a whole, or just the chosen fewÓ . I wholeheartedly agree. I am completely confident that those organizations will get a thank you letter, and not the tax bill that you propose.

Joseph C. Steiniger Schroon Lake

Pleased with house vote To the Adirondack Journal: I deeply thank our Congressman Bill Owens for signing on to the House resolution 688 which calls for President Obama to pledge our countryÕ s fair share to the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization or GAVI. If we ever need to act in the long term for global health, now is the time. GAVI helps countries strengthen their health infrastructure and has saved millions of lives. In the face of Ebola, functioning health systems means Ebola will by handled by the country of origin instead of infecting the rest of the world.

Sue Oehser Bakers Mills

Vote yes on Prop 4 To the Adirondack Journal: On Nov. 4 the stakes are high for your emergency squad remaining local. Voting yes to proposition 4 says you want to have an ambulance in this town that will get to your emergency quickly and deliver the best possible care for you and your family.

Last year 75 percent of our revenue came from patient insurance billing, but we have fixed costs that wonÕ t allow us to raise more. The number of patients we transport has stayed the same for ten years. Most of our patients have government insurance which pays too little and doesnÕ t increase with inflation.

The town gave us $65,000 last year. That number has remained fixed for years. We need more to survive. In 2015, we face two major increases. We must pay to replace our volunteer managers and drivers, and we must increase wages and offer some benefits to keep certified professionals working in Johnsburg.

EMS service is a professional business. Our ambulances are mobile emergency rooms. Our paid paramedics are highly trained professionals. We cannot expect the job to be done by volunteers, just as we canÕ t expect volunteers to run a half million dollar 24 hour emergency medical business with ten employees. We canÕ t even find enough volunteers to drive.

As a resident said to me, Ò I work all day 40 miles away, I have two kids to help with homework as well as get dinner when I get home; I have no time to volunteerÑ so I just have to pay for the service.Ó For most residents, that payment will be $73 or less each year for the entire household.

A local ambulance service is a necessity in a community that sits 38 miles away from a hospital. Voting yes will guarantee your squad remains local, timely, and professional for many years to come. On Nov. 4, please, on the back of the ballot check YES next to Prop 4. DonÕ t wait for an emergency to wish you had.

Burghers defeat rival WarEagles; season extended

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ Demonstrating a versatile offense behind a powerful, effective line clearing the way, the Warrensburg football team beat rival Lake George/Hadley Luzerne 28-14 in a hard fought game Oct. 24.

Burgher running backs Donnie Stone and Joey Schuster Ñ who were responsible for much of the scoring during the regular season Ñ each tallied a touchdown during the game. SchusterÕ s was the conclusion of returning an interception Ñ one of his two for the matchup Ñ in a 50-yard run in the second quarter, and StoneÕ s was a 37-yard score.

They were joined by Greg Shambo who began the scoring for the Burghers in the first quarter with a 25-yard run and quarterback Jake Nemec with an 18-yard run.

All but 5 yards gained by the Burghers was on the ground. Stone racked up 102 yards for the day; Schuster, 67 yards; Shambo, 85 yards, and Nemec, 22.

The effort and energy we played with was outstanding,Ó Burgher Coach Mike Leonbruno said. Ò With some of the kids, we knew all season they had it to offer Ñ they played harder than they had played all year.Ó Leonbruno said his teamÕ s defense worked well in containing Lake George. But he expressed substantial praise for his linemen who plowed down defenders again and again. Ò Our offensive line made great holes for our backs Ñ They played their butts off,Ó Leonbruno said. Ò Lake George is a very tough team.Ó Running back Ricky Jowly led the WarEaglesÕ effort. His 160 yards

gained in the game brought his season total to more than 900 yards. he scored 47 of the teamÕ s 74 points in 2014.

The Burgher offensive line had their job cut out for them curbing the work of beefy, aggressive nose tackle Patrick Barber, who competed in the Citrus Bowl All-American game last winter and was honored as Best Defensive Lineman at the 2013 Bryant University football camp. Ò We had to double-team Barber,Ó Leonbruno said. Ò We used strategies and ran plays that kept the ball away from him.Ó As in several past years in recent history, the Burghers hit their stride near the end of the season. The victory over Lake George was their second consecutive win for 2014, and they have one game Ñ a non-league crossover Ñ left for the year. Ò These last few weeks, weÕ ve put together a pretty good game, and a lot of it has to do with limiting our mistakes,Ó Leonbruno continued.

The victory over Lake George was particularly sweet because of the rivalry which has been energized players and fans since the mid-1960s Ñ and Lake George has won four times more of the games between the two than Warrensburg. The Burghers shocked the crowd last year when they employed a trick double-reverse and scored a winning touchdown on the last play after the time clock had expired Ò Because of the rivarly our kids were really pumped up for this yearÕ s game,Ó Leonbruno said.

This Burgher win was accomplished without two talented seniors due to injuries Ñ Aiden Szabo and Alek Olden Ñ and another veteran played just a partial game. In their place, Leonbruno said, a number of younger players stepped in and performed well for the Burghers Ñ Freshmen Cole Lanfear and Dan Monthony Ñ and Sophomore Joe Turner. Helping the offensive line accomplish the win was Donny Car-

penter, Leonbruno said. Ò It was a complete team effort, like the prior game against Fort Edward,Ó he said.

The BurghersÕ season has been extended, with one more game at Mechanicville, 7 p.m. on Thursday Oct. 30.

Warrensburg will have their hands full, as Mechanicville, 6-2, has a talented roster of players. Their lineup features the number one rusher in Section II, Chase DeLossantos, who just recently set the school record for yards gained in a single season. So far this year, heÕ s run for 1,852 yards.

Leonbruno said his players are up for the challenge Ò Our guys are having a lot of fun right now Ñ they want to play in another game, and I told them they can play as much as they want if they pledge to make the playoffs next year,Ó he said. Ò We have a lot of team spirit going forward at this point.Ó

9th graders to hold benefit dinner

WARRENSBURG Ñ The Warrensburg 9th graders will host a Spaghetti Dinner, Nov. 4, from 5 to 8 p.m. to fundraise for their prom, senior ball, class trip, and other expenses for the Class of 2018 in the highschool cafeteria.
