LAKE GEORGE Ñ Early this week, community leaders and environmental activists have lauded Gov. Andrew CuomoÕ s apparent backing off from an effort to oust Lake George Park Commission Executive Director Dave Wick.

State Assemblyman Dan Stec told news media Nov. 26 that Wick would be suspended for two weeks, but return to his post. The disciplinary measure has been criticized as politically motivated; WickÕ s reinstatement has been hailed unanimously by area governmental leaders and environmental officials.

Local political observers said this week the reinstatement was probably due to lobbying by area officials, as well as a crowd demonstrating their support Nov. 25 at a meeting of the Lake George Park Commissioners.

At this meeting, several dozen prominent citizens lauded Wick, his character, expertise and his long record of accomplishments.

Such work of WickÕ s includes protecting lake GeorgeÕ s water quality Ñ and successfully campagning for and implementing the new boat inspection and decontamination program on Lake George.

Children to craft decorations at Brant Lake community holiday event Sunday

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com BRANT LAKE - For the last 13 years, the advent season in northern Warren County has been full of holiday wonder for children and adults alike due to the annual Christmas in Brant Lake celebration.

This yearÕ s edition of the beloved event, which many say has strengthened community spirit, is set for 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday Dec. 7 in the Horicon Community Center, Rte. 8, Brant Lake.

Last yearÕ s Christmas in Brant Lake drew a record 220 children, and another blockbuster is predicted for this year, event publicist Nikki Monroe Rising said.

The standing-room only crowd at the 2013 event was exhibiting good cheer and had plenty of fun, regardless of the fact that Santa didnÕ t arrive as planned.

This year, Santa will indeed be attending, Rising said. Ò I know heÕ s coming, I just delivered his suit to him today,Ó she said with a chuckle.

The event focuses on children creating holiday decorations and ornaments at a dozen or so craft stations, where they receive materials and some instruction. They also are likely to decorate cookies as well as greet Santa.

All area children and their families are invited, and parents are urged to bring their cameras to capture memorable moments.

Refreshments are available as well.

The event also features horse-drawn wagon rides around the Brant Lake Mill Pond, conducted by Chris Boggia of Circle B Ranch in Chester.

The event is sponsored by the Friends of the Horicon Library, which offers a whole lineup of crafting and reading events Ñ as well as childrenÕ s concerts Ñ throughout the year.

ABOVE: A crowd of 220 children and at least as many adults crammed the Horicon Town Hall in early December 2013 for the annual Christmas in Brant Lake celebration, which features children creating holiday crafts including ornaments and gifts. The beloved community event has been sponsored by the Friends of the Horicon Library for 13 years.

Essex County digging own grave with cemetery takeover

L

ast month, a battle was reignited over the Old Essex County Home Cemetery when a local resident urged the Essex County Board of Supervisors to do something Ñ anything Ñ to bring the former county-run cemetery in Whallonsburg, which is now under private ownership, back into the warm embrace of government control.

The Board of Supervisors tripped over themselves to pass a resolution to move forward with eminent domain proceedings if the owner didnÕ t agree to sell the property at fair market value, which she has owned for 30 years after purchasing it outright from the Essex County Industrial Development Agency back in 1985.

Sound familiar?

In case you forgot, county supervisors erred earlier this year when they opted to decline George MooreÕ s bid for the former Frontier Town on the grounds that his offer did not meet the minimum bid of taxes owed on the property, a caveat that was not publicized, nor applied to the other parcels on the auction block.

Moore sued the county.

As we near the end of the year, that case is still tied up in court and the board continues to waste taxpayer money and county time defending it.

So this brazen decision to dive back into possible litigation in a case that contains many of the same ingredients seems premature and foolhardy, especially considering the two sides havenÕ t even sat down for a rendezvous yet.

To us, a friendly chat seems like it should be the first step — not seizing private property through eminent domain.

Furthermore, you canÕ t take things just because you want them.

Look, we get it Ñ a spruced-up cemetery would be pleasant. It would provide a project for the community to rally behind and something for the county to hold up as a commitment to civic virtue and the needs of their constituents.

But county officials should have simply chosen not to sell the property 30 years ago.

Eminent domain is usually reserved for large-scale development projects.

The controversial measure is used as a nuclear option, like when OÕ Hare International Airport in Chicago fought for five years to obtain a small cemetery for expansion purposes — or the landmark Kelo v. City of New London case that held that takeovers are permissible if used for economic development and as a means to generate municipal revenue.

On the other hand, it should not be a knee-jerk reaction to impassioned public speeches, such as the case currently facing the board.

Essex CountyÕ s attempt to strip a landowner from the land where her husband is buried does not meet this criteria.

ThatÕ s not to say we donÕ t sympathize with the emotional argument underpinning this request.

We agree that itÕ s a shame that the resting place of 378 county residents have been overlooked and is now largely forgotten.

Each of them deserve better than eternal anonymity.

But that was something that should have been considered in 1985, not 30 years later when the county has more pressing issues.

Cooler heads should prevail and the flames of moral outrage shouldn’t be fanned for what, once the smoke clears, is a legal issue pertaining to if the initial sale was legal to begin with.

Since this is a dispute between two private citizens, the parties should resolve the problem amongst themselves without government involvement.

And do we really want to get the Adirondack Park Agency involved?

What would be even more shameful is if the county moved forward with eminent domain.

Come to think of it, supervisors have a better chance of taking Frontier Town by that measure than their attempt to pry a graveyard away from an elderly widow.

Perhaps if the group thought of that back in April, we wouldnÕ t be having this conversation. ÑD

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden

One Hundred Years Ago – December, 1914 Destitute family suffers

One of the most pitiful cases of destitution which has ever been found in Saratoga County has been reported to Humane Society Officer Robert S. Rimington of Saratoga Springs who investigated the case and made a public report. He found the family in question seven miles outside Spire falls in the Town of Moreau.

There were six children in the family, a boy seventeen years old was an idiot, the three next oldest, 8, 11 and 14 years, respectfully, were in school and there were two children, 5 and 6 years old who were at home. These two had no shoes or stockings and what little clothing they did wear was of the summer quality, so thin as to be useless in keeping out the winter cold.

The older boy who is idiotic caused considerable trouble. Often he would play out-doors until his feet, which were unclothed bled from the cold. His parents said that they had to coax him to do anything because he had a violent temper.

Officer Rimington said that in the kitchen there was a stove, one chair which had no back, a cot beside the stove which had evidently used s a seat for the children to warm themselves. One side of the cot had no legs. The only covering was a robe which probably had been taken from a sleigh. This was in fact the only article which would give real warmth in the house. When he pressed the button which held the door open into the bedroom, Mr. Rimington stated that the door toppled over on him.

In the bedroom was one bed which was as black as the door and which contained an old dilapidated mattress. Under the bed were corn stalks which were no doubt used by the children as their sleeping places.

There was one other room off the kitchen where the snow was deeper than it was out-doors. In the upstairs the windows had no panes so that the cold could come in freely The only food which could be found in the house was a pot of potatoes which were cooking on the stove. Outside the door Mr. Rimington found some yellow corn which had been partly parched and was half eaten. There was no pantry and no dishes save the ones in the kitchen which were left just as they were used at the last meal.

Superintendent Rimington stated that the condition of the family was in the largest measure due to drunkenness. (Note Ð When I was a very small child, I remember my father telling me a story that stuck in my memory and made a great impression upon me. He grew up in a farming community in the mountains of central Vermont and attended a one room school house. He said that one poor family in town could not attend school when snow was on the ground because the five boys in the family had no shoes and they owned only one pair of wool socks, which they took turns wearing when they went outside to chop wood to keep from freezing.

Today, the word Ò idiotÓ is usually a derogatory word used as an insult, but actually it means that a person has a permanent mental deficiency, which they are born with, possibility, in this case, acerbated by the lack of decent food to eat. ItÕ s a hard world out there!)

County Jail inspected

An inspection of the Warren County Jail, at Lake George, was carried out on Nov. 7, 1914 and the report has recently been made available to the public.

The sheriff of the county is R. J. Bolton. The jail is under the supervision of the undersheriff Mac R. Smith, of Warrensburgh.

There is a salaried male cook and Mrs. Bolton acts as matron and

receives $1.50 when women are detained. The total population of the jail at the time of the inspection was ten inmates, one being held for the Grand Jury and nine being held serving sentence.

An average of fifteen prisoners is usually held at any given time.

The jail is a small structure and is well heated as a new heating boiler has been installed since the last inspection. Bathing equipment was installed in the early part of this year. The prisoners expressed satisfaction as to the quantity and quality of the food.

Through the co-operation of the village president, Dr. C.K. Burt, the prisoners have been worked extensively on the village highways by cleaning, curbing and widening. Men have also been employed in laying cement walks. The cost of the work is defrayed one half by the village and the other half by the owner of the property in front of which the work is being done. (Note Ð Many years ago I remember well taking a tour of the jail cells in the lower part of the old Warren County Courthouse, north of Shepards Park. The beautiful brick building is now a museum and arts building. Those tiny whitewashed jail cells, built in 1845, are not for a person who suffers from claustrophobia.

They were, however, home to many famous criminals of the early twentieth century. Prisoners were held, tried and convicted there until 1963.)

Trouble at White Lily Lake

White Lily Lake, in the town of Thurman, formerly known by the less euphonious name of Bear Swamp pond, has been a bone of contention among certain residents of the neighborhood for some years and the cause is the reason that considerable expensive litigation is now going on.

Isaac J. Davis, who acquired by purchase the land upon which the lake is situated, has been forced to establish his title and is now in the process of going to court with the matter.

Failing in their efforts to wrest from him his legal rights, certain people, Mr. Davis asserts, have sought to cause him annoyance by trying to establish their right to fish in the lake because, they have maintained its waters were stocked by the state. Mr. Davis has for some time been in correspondence with the State Conservation Commission and now has letters signed by the State Fish Culturist Tarleton H. Bean stating that there are no records in his office to show that the lake has ever been stocked with fish by the state and there would have been one done.

Mr. Davis firmly believes that he has been persecuted by some of his neighbors and now that his rights have been clearly defined and established by competent authority he intends to maintain them at all hazards. He believes that no person has the right to trespass on his private property and that the lake is not open to public fishing. The court will give their decision next month.

Bolton lady dies

Mrs. Betsey Rose, who suffered a shock of paralysis about three weeks ago, died Saturday night, Dec. 14, 1914, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. William Sherman. The lady is survived by four other children, Mrs. Erastus French, Mrs. Arthur Coon, Chauncey Ross and Clennie Ross. She has a brother, Frank Stowell, at Schroon Lake. Burial was made in the new Vermont Cemetery.

Conflagration at Hague

A barn owned by Supervisor William O,Connell, located in the Town of Hague, was destroyed by fire Monday morning, Nov. 23, 1914 together with a large quantity of hay and grain and several wagons. The loss is estimated at about $2,000 and is covered by insurance.

Thirty degrees below zero

Henry Griffin of Warrensburgh, one of the substantial residents of the northern metropolis of the country was in Glens Falls on Dec. 26, 1914. He took the trolley at 8 oÕ clock when the thermometer registered thirty degrees below zero. Mr. Griffing said that from all indications the Ò Johnsburgh thaw would continue indefinitely.” It was just 16 years ago, Dec. 1, 1898, that Lake George was frozen over Ò from the head to the foot.Ó

Indian centenarian dead

John Camp, a full blooded Indian of the Abanakois tribe, said to be more than 104 years old died Thursday, at Lake George, Dec. 17, 1914, at the home of his step-daughter, Mrs. Asa Hastings. It is said that he was finally called to the “happy hunting ground.Ó He had lived in Lake George upwards of seventy years, coming with others of his tribe from Maine.

He leaves several sons and daughters and one of his sons is about seventy years old. His wife died about thirty years ago.

The father of the deceased was a chief of his tribe and died at Lake George at the age of 106 years. On the fatherÕ s 100th birthday anniversary, which came in January, 1878, he went skating on the lake.

John CampÕ s funeral was held at the Methodist Episcopal Church, Lake George, on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 24, 1914 at 2 oÕ clock. There were a large number of citizens in attendance, including most of the prominent men of the village as the deceased was held in great esteem. Internment was in the village cemetery.

(Note Ð John Camp also used the same, Ò Kemp.Ó He is said to have lived in a Ò HovelÓ in Virgin Hollow, near the south end of Lake George Village. Former Warrensburgh historian, the late Mabel Tucker, the daughter of William Wallace Tucker and his wife, Matilda Camp, of Thurman, said she was proud to be related to this family. In 1974 Mabel wrote, Ò Our forefathers paved the way before us, blazed the trail midst blood, sweat and tears.

Today we are proud to sing your praise aloud, our heritage is goodly, we are blessed.Ó )

Gone, but not forgotten

Moses Hardy, 21, the son of slaves, born in 1893, is serving in World War I, now raging in Europe. (Note Ð Moses Hardy, 113, said at one time to be the oldest man in the world, died Dec. 7, 2006.)

It was just 27 years ago, Dec. 8, 1887, that a baby girl, Fannie Auer was born on the Garnet Lake Road, Johnsburgh, to Charles and Elizabeth Reynolds Ingraham. (Note Ð Fannie Auer Harris, 105, died in 1992.)

It was just six years ago, Dec. 31, 1908, that Sanford Kenyon purchased the Kenyontown Trading Post and store from Clayton Pasco in Thurman. (Note Ð The historic old Kenyontown Trading Post burned Dec. 31, 1977 when it was owned by the Murphy family.)

Days gone by

Over the river and through the wood Trot fast, my dapple gray!

Spring over the ground Like a hunting hound, For this is Thanksgiving day.

Thanksgiving day has now officially come and gone and now we have a delightful white Christmas and sleighing to look fore ward to as snow came early this year.

Letters to the Editor

Remember Dec. 15 To the Adirondack Journal: Dec. 15. Do you know what federal holiday Dec. 15 is? ItÕ s much more important than the pagan holiday right after it. Dec. 15 is Ò Bill of RightsÓ Day. Last year I requested the Chestertown veterans to be patriot and have a Ò Bill of RightsÓ reading at the Chester-Pottersville Veterans Memorial in Chestertown.

Thought that maybe they would contact North Warren School to see if they had a public speaking class that would care to read the Ò Bill of RightsÓ at the memorial. Not one word from the Veterans since last year. Guess they donÕ t care. No wonder this country is going down hill so fast. Something to think about.

George W . Phillips, Vietnam Veteran Chestertown

‘Amazed’ by snow comments To the Adirondack Journal: I read with amazement Jean HaddenÕ s misguided comment regarding the blizzard of 1914. She seems to feel that the warming trend weÕ ve had is perfectly natural, and refers to the recent Buffalo snows to show that maybe things are not as bad as weÕ re told.

TheyÕ re not. TheyÕ re much worse. If December temperatures are roughly normal worldwide, 2014 will be the hottest year since NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) began keeping records in 1880. The ten hottest years for the planet have all occurred since 1998.

NASA tells us that this past August was the hottest year on record.

And why, Miss Hadden, would the United Nations call its members to a major conference on climate change this past September?

Shakespeare may have been right when he wrote Ò Look what

fools these mortals be.Ó I wonder who he was referring to? The 95% of climatologists who base their conclusions on scientific data, or the misguided few who base their conclusions on a handful of local observations.

Eric Krantz Lake George

‘Myopic’ column To the Adirondack Journal: Mr. Alexander, Your recent Beware the Trojan Horse Op-Ed piece just might be one of the most myopic and self serving pieces of yours that IÕ ve read.

LetÕ s start with Ò Where were the Republicans last year, when this Obamacare Architect.....Ó Really? Where was our supposed fair, impartial and dispassionate press last year when Gruber was spouting off? This includes you and Denpubs. IÕ ll await you pointing me to the Denpbus, archives of last year for the issues in which you brought GruberÕ s spouting off to light and opined on them. As you yourself noted, it was only when Ò conservativeÓ stations began airing them that the MSM picked up on them. You do realize GruberÕ s comments were made in quasi public settings, itÕ s not as if he was on 60 Minutes. Interesting that since heÕ s been exposed, heÕ s gone underground. You seem to infer that there was a conspiracy within the GOP on keeping videoÕ s of GruberÕ s comments under wraps. Would ask you to provide credible evidence of such. I would think if they had these videos months ago, theyÕ d have run them pre-election.

You also missed the mark on the low voter turnout. How much of a mandate it is and will be for the GOP is up for debate and remains to be seen, But even Obama, Democrat Party strategists, and political pundits admit that the Dems got absolutely thumped, from top to bottom, Senate races, House races, Governor races, state legislatures. In many areas turnout among registered Republicans was in line with previous mid-term elections. It was the supposed Dems base that stayed home, and they

stayed home because they were lied to and deceived by Obama, Pelosi, Reid and their failed policies. It was no accident that most Democrat Senate and House candidates tried to get as far away from Obama as possible and dis-invited him to campaign for them.

An Op-Ed piece is what it is, but you mixed opinion with some flawed assumptions of the facts.

Jim Jacob Jay

Thankful for dog rescue To the Adirondack Journal: We want to express a heartfelt thank you to John Hart and Frank Shaw who made this a most special Thanksgiving when they successfully rescued two of our dogs who had escaped the house just prior to WednesdayÕ s snow storm. In Disney-like fashion, they returned them from the mountain tops where they had wandered, safe and sound. They demonstrated their love for animals, that individuals still do good deeds despite risk to themselves.

Outreach group thanks Gore Mountain for food NORTH CREEK Ñ The Adirondack Community Outreach Center would like to thank the Gore Mountain Ski Center and its tremendous effort to collect canned goods for donation to the Johnsburg Food Pantry.

This annual drive has resulted in the collection of over 1,500 cans for distribution to families in northern Warren County.

For many working families in the North Country, this time of year is especially difficult. Often, tough choices have to be made between spending gas money to get to work and the added expenses of feeding family and friends during the holidays, with hopefully a little extra for gifts. The supplemental food available at the Johnsburg Food Pantry helps alleviate some of this holiday stress.

The can drive at Gore Mountain will continue through Dec. 14. Please contribute to this generous effort by donating canned goods when youÕ re up on the mountain.

Warriors demonstrate their depth in win over Burghers

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ Lake George Warriors proved they have a roster of players this season to compliment the athletic prowess of Joel Wincoski, as they cruised over Warrensburg 79-44 in the season-opening Adirondack League basketball game Dec. 2.

New York State 2013 Class C MVP Joel Wincowski was heavily guarded as he scored 25 points; followed by Kyle JonesÕ 18, a tally that included 3 three-point shots.

Burgher point guard Shea Irish scored 16 points Ñ including 3 three-pointers, for his team.

Warrensburg Coach Bob Hummel said that the WarriorsÕ press and a balanced offensive attack were key elements in Lake GeorgeÕ s decisive win. Ò Early in the game, our team showed weakness in handling their pressure,Ó Hummel said.

Warrior Coach Dave Jones said that his teamÕ s shifting defensive set-ups were effective in the decisive win. Ò We did a nice job early in the game of mixing our defenses which seemed to work to our advantage,Ó he said.

Jones added that his players worked well as a team. Ò We did a great job tonight sharing the ball and looking for the open man,Ó he said, noting that his team totaled 17 assists.

Hummel also noticed the ball-sharing.

“Wincowski was very selfless — he could have taken a lot more shots but he passed the ball off to his teammates, and I admire that,Ó he said.

For much of the game, the Burghers doubleteamed Wincowski, who has proven for years he can sink shots from anywhere on the court Ñ and that heavy Burgher coverage left other Warriors open intermittently.

Such a dogged defense kept WincowskiÕ s personal score relatively low in comparison to his traditional totals: in the Lansingburgh tournament Nov. 29, Wincowski scored 37 points, 30 of them in the second half. In that game, the Warriors defeated the Knights 70-62 in overtime, powered with an 11-3 run in the extra stanza.

The day before, Wincowski scored 33 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, leading the Warriors in the tourney semi-final win over Ravena, 61 to 51. He was assisted by Andrew McGowan with 14 points and six rebounds.

complimented WarrensburgÕ s effort as well as his teammatesÕ . Ò I thought our ball movement was great and we played well as a team,Ó he said. Ò Warrensburg hustled and played hard together. Our pressure at the beginning of the game hit them hard and worked very well.Ó

Despite the loss, Coach Hummel said he was pleased with various aspects of the BurghersÕ performance. Ò I saw some things that I like Ñ and show potential,Ó he said. Ò WeÕ ll measure our improvement when we meet them again in early February.Ó

Agriculture’s potential in Warren County to be topic of Wbg. session

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ A public meeting to present and explore trends in agriculture and healthy communities Ñ and their potential in Warren County Ñ is to be held from 10 a.m. to noon Tuesday Dec. 9 in the Warrensburg Town Hall.

All residents of the region are invited to participate, said Ed Bartholomew, CEO of the Adirondack Gateway Council, sponsor of the event. Bartholomew also serves as the President of the Warren County Economic Development Corp. and the Director of Economic & Community Development for the city of Glens Falls.

In addition to an informational presentation on new approaches to farming and maple production and marketing, a discussion of ideas and feedback from the audience is welcome, according to session moderator Lisa Nagle of Elan Planning. Ò WeÕ ll be seeking feedback and ideas,Ó she said.

Innovative approaches to agriculture, including specialty and alternative crops and products will be discussed, as well as methods

Wick

Continued from page 1 The program has been hailed as a model program for waterways statewide as well as nationally.

Last week, community leaders and politicians speculated that Gov. CuomoÕ s aides had trumped up charges to oust him in order to assign an aide to head up the Park Commission as a political payoff Ñ or that Wick was being punished because Department of Environmental Conservation officials had considered that Wick was overzealous in promoting the boat inspection and decontamination program.

The Governor’s office first claimed a breach of policy, citing an unreported gasoline spill in Lake George Ñ that had been cleaned up immediately. After area officials challenged that claim, state officials instead focused on a supposed breach of ethics, involving a discount on a cruise ship retirement party extended to the commission by the Lake George Steamboat Co. Ñ where one of the Park commissioners had been an employee for 52 years.

The media responded with editorials blasting the Governor and his aides for the action against Wick, that appeared to be political payback.

Regardless of the political shenanigans that may have precipitated the affair, area environmental officials diplomatically hailed the outcome of the situation this week.

Among them was Chris Navistsky of the Lake George Waterkeeper, who called for the expansion of the inspection and decontamination program. Ò I am pleased the leadership at the Lake George Park Commission will not change, and that we can now focus on the details for the implementation of a permanent boat inspection program,Ó he said, saying he and others looked forward to Ò improved cooperation and supportÓ from Albany.

Peter Bauer, Executive Director of Protect the Adirondacks, also offered his thoughts. Ò WeÕ re pleased that the Governor and DEC have reconsidered their position and acted to retain Dave Wick,Ó he said. Ò Hopefully what comes out of this fiasco is a new understanding that a broad array of stakeholders want strong boat control programs all across the Adirondacks Ñ ItÕ s time to move forward not backwards.Ó (See an expanded report on AdirondackJournal.com.)

of connecting people with locally grown fresh foods, Nagle said. Ò ItÕ s through producing high-end items that farmers are now surviving,Ó she said.

Economic development and community stability are the objectives, she said.

Farming was widespread in Warren County through the early 1900s, but virtually disappeared here as the U.S. shifted towards dependence on cheap produce raised on massive corporate farms in the midwest.

Recently, the trend has been reversing, as the public is increasingly seeking out local fresh food, much of it naturally grown. Small farming operations, many of them raising specialty products, have been remarkably successful over the past dozen years or so.

Bartholomew said this meeting is the continuation of the Gateway CouncilÕ s public outreach. In September, meetings were held in Hadley and Chestertown, focusing on sustainability issues.

During these earlier sessions, discussion centered on boosting broadband and cellular access, affordable housing and transportation.

In the upcoming Warrensburg meeting, it is expected that representatives of the agriculture community will be participating, Bartholomew said.

Adirondack Gateway Council CEO Ed Bartholomew talks to members of the Warrensburg economic development committee this summer about approaches to building commerce and building a local sustainable economy. On Tuesday Dec. 9, Bartholomew and his council are sponsoring a meeting at the Warrensburg Town Hall to discuss trends and innovations in agriculture and healthy communities, and Warren County citizens, entrepreneurs and producers of local goods are all invited to attend.

Warrensburg veteran and his grandson partake in Leatherstocking Honor Flight

World War II veteran Morgan Crandall and grandson Ronald Lamy at the Washington, D.C., memorial to honor those who fought in the war. trooper with the 541st Parachute Infantry Regiment at Fort Benning, Georgia. After touching down at BWI, Crandall was asked when he last flew in an airplane. Ò Well, I guess it was 70 years ago, but this is the first time I’ve ever landed in oneÓ proclaimed Crandall.

In December 1944, Crandall sailed from New York Harbor on the converted luxury liner Ile de France to a port near Glasgow, Scotland, where he was reassigned to the 747th Tank Battalion. He fought as part of multiple units before ending

up with the 69th Infantry Division, which made contact with Russian troops on the Elbe River in Germany in the spring of 1945.

Following a bus ride from BWI to Washington D.C., the tour began at the WWII Memorial where the group was met by Senator Bob Dole.

A wounded WWII veteran himself, Dole expressed his appreciation to Crandall upon hearing about his participation in the Battle of the Bulge.

“That was some real tough fighting,Ó Senator Dole said in the under-

stated manner so typical of the Greatest Generation.

The group spent the day at memorials and monuments that honored veterans from World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, as well as the Marine Memorial, which features a massive sculpture depicting the planting of the American Flag at Iwo Jima. To round out the tour, the group paid a solemn visit to witness the Ò Changing of the GuardÓ ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery.

At each stop on the tour, Crandall and the other veterans were approached by visitors to the memorials, adults and children alike, shaking their hands and thanking them for their dedicated service to our country. Especially moving was the reverence that other veterans of Korea and Vietnam showed to the World War II heroes.

At one point, Lamy thanked a Korean War veteran for his service. The gentleman responded and gestured towards Crandall. Ò They are the real heroes...without the sacrifices that they made and the work they did, none of us would be here,Ó said the vet.

Later in the day, an entire family from India handed over their cameras and asked if they could have their picture taken with Crandall. Ò WeÕ ve never met a World War

II soldier before and we want to remember this day,Ó exclaimed the family.

Crandall returned home around midnight after a long day but it was one he wonÕ t soon forget. When asked if he wanted to take a short nap on the bus back to the airport, he declined and said Ò I donÕ t want to miss anything, I want to take it all in.Ó One final highlight was the “Mail Call” while waiting for the flight from BWI back to Albany. Each veteran received an envelope of letters, notes, and cards from family, friends, schoolkids, and other veterans back home to thank them for their service.

The letters were a wonderful surprise and Crandall thanked everyone who participated by sending a note.

The day was rewarding for both Crandall and Lamy; they were grateful for the opportunity to visit the memorials and take in both the majesty of their physical presence as well as the symbolism of what they stand for.

Lamy noted the tremendous pride he felt throughout the day, watching his grandfather interact with the other veterans as well as to see the appreciation from complete strangers. Ò I hope everyone understands just what our veterans have sacrificed for all of us,Ó said Lamy. Ò It was a real honor for me to share this day with my grandfather and I encourage anyone that can make the trip to do so.Ó

WARRENSBURG Ñ On Oct. 4, long-time Warrensburg resident, Morgan Crandall, took part in the Leatherstocking Honor Flight from Albany to Washington D.C. Crandall is a World War II veteran who served from 1944-1946 and saw action in France, Belgium, and Germany, including the Ò Battle of the Bulge.Ó He was accompanied on the trip by his grandson, Ronald Lamy, of Queensbury.

The Leatherstocking Honor Flight is one of more than 100 established hubs in the National Honor Flight Network. The non-profit entity was created to honor AmericaÕ s World War II veterans by providing them with a free trip to visit sites, including the WWII Memorial, that commemorate our nationÕ s servicemen.

This special day began at 4:30 a.m. with a flag-bearing motorcycle escort from the Warren County Municipal Center to Albany International Airport. Hundreds of family, friends, former veterans, and well-wishers gathered for a patriotic send-off to the 96 veterans and guardians headed to Washington D.C. Upon arriving at BaltimoreÕ s BWI Airport, cadets from the U.S. Naval Academy lined the gate to greet the veterans and thank them for their service to our country.

Enlisting in the US Army at Fort Dix, N.J., in March 1944, Crandall then volunteered to train as a para-

thom@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — Officials of the town of Johnsburg and Gore Mountain have been discussing developing a large-scale solar farm that could produce enough electricity for hundreds of homes, Johnsburg Supervisor Ron Vanselow said this week.

This proposed installation of solar arrays could be located atop the town landfill, Vanselow said this week.

He said the solar arrays would be operated under a Òr emote net meteringÓ arrangement, in which the 2 megawatts of power would be fed into the power grid, and the town and Gore would receive credits toward their electric power bills.

Vanselow predicted that the installation could theoretically pay for the townÕ s entire annual electric power expenses, which he estimated at $100,000.

He said that the solar arrays would be situated several hundred yards away from GoreÕ s Ski Bowl chairlifts, and the existing equipment Gore has on site would serve as an interface with the power grid, saving Gore and the town a substantial amount of the normal cost of the installation.

He said the solar farm, envisioned to provide 20 times the power produced by a recent 100-kilowatt installation by the town of Horicon, would be substantially larger than any project accomplished to date in northern Warren County. ÒY ouÕ d be able to see this solar farm from the space shuttle,Ó h e quipped.

The town of Chester was the first area municipality to go solar. They have several arrays

that now provide power to offset their electricity usage at their landfill, highway garage, municipal center and health center. Their photo-voltaic installations, producing an estimated 250,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, are saving the municipality many thousands of dollars per year on its utility bills.

The town of WarrensburgÕ s solar installations, one located near the town sewer treatment plant and the other below the town recreation field off Library Avenue, are to produce a total of 100,000 kilowatts of power.

Vanselow said that he and Gore officials have recently met with several solar development en-

terprises to discuss proposals for a solar farm.

“It’s definitely a good idea, to save money as well as providing a benefit for the environment,” Vanselow said.

“It’s my priority as the town budget officer to keep expenses low for taxpayers.Ó Gore Mountain General Manager Mike Pratt said the proposal was in Òv ery preliminaryÓ stages but the installation now being discussed was a 2-megawatt solar farm that could provide up to 2.5 million kilowatt hours per year. ÒW e are excited about the potential to work cooperatively with the Town of Johnsburg again,Ó h e said.

Such an installation could cut greenhouse gas emissions emissions by 625 metric tons per year, according to estimates provided by Cornell University.

ABOVE: Solar arrays behind the town of Chester Municipal Center are one of several photo-voltaic installations that are producing an estimated 250,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity annually and saving the municipality many thousands of dollars per year on its utility bills. The town of Johnsburg and Gore Mountain Ski Center are now considering jointly developing a large-scale 2 megawatt solar farm that might slash power costs for both entities while producing 2.5 million kilowatt-hours per year.

North Country snowmobile ride to benefit cancer research

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com FORT ANN Ñ Donna BrockwayÕ s snow mobile kept her going during the darkest time in her life.

Diagnosed with lobular carcinoma in 2004, Brockway knew she would recover from surgery and one day ride again. While talking with a friend just seven years ago, she decided to start a cause that could pair her love for snowmobiling with a fight against the deadly disease. Cancer has taken some of BrockwayÕ s dearest friends, like many of us know too well, and she has decided to hit the trails and take a stand with the Purple Ribbon Cancer Ride. Ò My snowmobile is how I kept my depression under control, that was my stress relief,Ó said Brockway.

Donna said that Karen LaRose at Progressive Motor Sports was one of her biggest supporters and sometimes she would go and talk to her for hours. She had just purchased a new sled from LaRose and couldnÕ t ride it because of the intensive surgeries she had underwent, so Brockway and LaRose simultaneously decided to do a ride to combat the disease. Ò ThereÕ s all these different sports things that do things for cancer and we are snowmobilers and I hadnÕ t seen anything like this before,Ó said Brockway.

The ride, which will celebrate its seventh installment this February, started at the Hartford Firehouse with the Hartford Ridge Riders Snowmobile Club. At the time, one of the board members was critically ill with cancer so Brockway and her team decided that was the best time to get their mission started. The first year raised a few thousand dollars, but as the

Riders gather to shred some snow and raise money at the Purple Ribbon Cancer Ride.

initiative gained attention and people joined the cause, donations grew immensely. Last year, the ride gathered 167 snowmobilers and raised $13,285, all of which Brockway strives to keep local.

“Our local American Cancer Society office closed so the money wouldnÕ t stay local and we would rather have our money stay here in Queensbury so we have partnered with the C.R. Wood Cancer Center in Glens Falls, which is where I had my surgery,Ó said Brockway.

The funds raised from the Purple Ribbon Cancer Ride go towards a special program called Ò RandyÕ s Patient Assistance Fund.Ó The fund gives up to $350 per person per year to al-

leviate travel, lodging, prescriptions and medical co-pay costs. In an Oct. 14 letter from the C.R. Wood Cancer Center to Donna, the center reported that the $13,285 had helped 57 people so far, and detailed exactly what the money was being utlizied for. Donating to and participating in this unique event allows riders to assist people in their own community, their friends, their neighbors, and maybe even a family member.

Donna knows from experience how cancer induces a heartbreak and pain that can take over a person entirely. Not only has she battled the illness herself, but almost every immediate family member of hers has suffered from the

disease. In order to overcome the emotional strife that cancer brings, it is vital for people to rely on friends and family to pull them through.

Support and encouragement can go a long way, and Donna wants to honor those who have had a connection with this disease first hand. Ò To me itÕ s my way of giving back,Ó said Brockway. Ò There are so many caregivers that donÕ t get recognition. I have so many family and friends that have had [cancer] and that have passed away and it is everywhere. I had an awesome support group and we have about 17 corporate sponsors as well including Rachael Ray and her husband.Ó If theres enough snow on the ground, then riders will hit the trails on Feb. 14 at 9 a.m. and Ò ride to provide.Ó The day will begin and end at BoarÕ s Nest in Fort Ann and will entail challenges between snowmobile brands as well as commemorative snowmobiles made of plywood for riders to add notes for cancer victims and caregivers alike. A slideshow will be compiled with pictures and notes to remember loved ones or supporters who participants would like to recognize. The Kingsbury Barnstormers Snowmobile Club, the Hartford Ridge Riders, and the Washington County Snowmobile Association join forces to back this one of a kind event that pairs having some fun with doing some good.

Snowmobiling kept Donna going, and she knows firsthand that having something to keep your spirits up can change everything. Giving up is not an option, but for Donna Brockway and her Purple Ribbon Cancer Rider’s-fighting back is.

To donate or learn more, stop by Progressive Motor Sports, call Donna at 796-7998, or visit purpleribboncancerride.com or on Facebook.

December 6, 2014 Ò The great body of our citizens shoot less as time goes on.

We should encourage rifle practice among schoolboys, and indeed among all classes, as well as in the military services by every means in our power.

Thus, and not otherwise, may we be able to assist in preserving peace in the world. The first step Ð in the direction of preparation to avert war if possible, and to be fit for war if it should come Ð is to teach men to shoot!Ó Theodore Roosevelt

Last night at deer camp

The coming weekend signals the end of the regular big game hunting season across a large swath of the North Country. It will come to a close at sunset on Sunday, December 7.

For diehards, who just havenÕ t had enough, thereÕ s still an extra week of late muzzleloader season which stretches from Dec. 8 - Dec. 14, and allows hunters to harvest a deer of either sex in WMUÕ s on the periphery of the Park.

Continued muzzleloading opportunities will also be available in WMUÕ s in the Southern Tier from Dec. 8 Ð Dec. 16.

But for many, the coming weekend will signal the end of the season. Once again, local hunters have been hampered by the lack of a consistent snow cover this season. It seems to have become a steady trend in recent years, with many areas experiencing less than a full week of good cover.

The long held, traditional technique of tracking big bucks that are dragging their hooves have become a rather lost art in the day and age of climate change.

While hunters in the upper elevations enjoyed a few days of light snow cover, the valleys remained primarily green and brown the entire season. It becomes awful difficult to pick out a deer when they blend into the brown background so easily.

This weekend will signal the end of the season for a majority of the local hunting camps.

It will be a time to clean up camp, patch a few holes in the roof and pack up the hunting gear until next year.

With the passing of yet another hunting season, the trails may seem to have grown longer, and maybe the hills got a bit steeper; but there will be another year, filled with the same old stories and the practical jokes.

ThatÕ s the kind of place camp is! ItÕ s not intended to be a permanent residence.

Rather, itÕ s a refuge, a place where we go for respite in the effort to escape the daily toils and trials that wear on a manÕ s soul.

It is a unique location where grown men can act like boys,

and boys can grow into men.

However, as our lives get busier, time seems to go quicker. We have less time, more stress and seemingly ever greater responsibilities.

Researchers tell us this is not good for us, that such behavior makes us more aggressive, more depressed, less patient, slower witted and fatter. But most of us already know that.

What researchers havenÕ t been able to tell us is why, or how we can fix it. However, the answer really is quite simple and obvious; we just need to spend more time in camp!

We donÕ t go to camp in an effort to get away or escape, rather we go seeking an opportunity to return to our roots, to recapture some indescribable, previous existence where men were free to roam far and wide, where the most pressing matters were food and shelter.

Thoughts on camp and the hunt

Ò There is a passion for hunting deeply implanted in the human breast.Ó Charles Dickens For brick and mortar breed filth and crime, With a pulse of evil that throbs and beats; And men are withered before their prime By the curse paved in with the lanes and streets.

And lungs are poisoned and shoulders bowed, In the smothering reek of mill and mine; And death stalks in on the struggling crowdÑ But he shuns the shadow of the Ô oak and pineÓ George W. Sears aka Ô Nessmuk, Travel writer, and tuberculosis sufferer

Ski Season: Starts, Stops and Still Waiting for Snow While hunters continue to bemoan the seasonÕ s lack of snow cover, backcounty skiers have already been out enjoying it on the Whiteface Toll Road, the Paul Smiths VIC, the Hayes Brook Trails and a few other choice locales. Unfortunately, the Big Blow that buried Buffalo in six feet of snow a week ago, didnÕ t quite make it into the interior of the Park.

The recent warmup served to erase most of the snow, but itÕ s likely the weather will soon turnabout.

However, travelers planning a trip into the higher elevations are advised to use traction devices to prevent slips and falls on snow and ice.

Although many ponds and lakes already have a skim layer of ice, it is far too early in the season to even consider venturing on them.

However, if current conditions do not provide an appropriate amount of snow cover for the weekend, backcountry ski enthusiasts can still get into the groove, while enjoying the The Mountaineer Õ s Fifth Annual Ski Season Kickoff Party at the Keene Arts Playhouse, located on Route 73, Keene, New York. Visitors are bring encouraged to bring their own beverages and refreshments.

The Mountaineer is proud to be one of only five Dynafit Competence Centers in the United States -, a title reserved for the top ski touring specialists in the world.

The event will feature the award winning films of the Winter Wildlands Alliance Backcountry Film Festival. Special guest appearance by ULLR, the Norse God of Snow.
