Wbg. gets into the holiday spirit

This Week Proposals aired to boost farms

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com

WARRENSBURG Ñ Several dozen Warren County farmers, market organizers, consultants and maple producers shared ideas and opinions Dec. 9 on trends in the regionÕ s agriculture, discussing how to better earn a decent living in farming and improve the publicÕ s access to fresh local foods.

Initiatives proposed at the session include farmers collaborating to hire a broker to market their products, growing crops in the greatest demand locally, relaxing restrictive and expensive governmental requirements Ñ and Ò brandingÓ agricultural products as Adirondackraised.

Other ideas raised include promoting agricultural tourism in the Adirondacks, strengthening mutual support between farmers, recruiting a food-processing operation to locate in the region, and collaboratively utilizing existing certified commercial kitchens.

The meeting was held by the Adirondack Gateway Council with a purpose to boost economic opportunities for farmers and others employed in agriculture. Lisa Nagle of Elan Planning, Saratoga Springs, moderated the event.

WARRENSBURG Ñ Routinely the center of youthful attention during the holiday season, Santa Claus received a heartwarming reception Dec. 7 for showing up for all but one of the 26 years of Christmas in Warrensburgh celebrationÕ s lengthy tenure.

The two-day event was held this past weekend to a robust crowd throughout town over both days despite freezing rain, slush and snow on Saturday.

Dave Wright, who annually portrays the jolly rotund man in a red suit was fighting back tears Sunday when organizers of the long-standing annual holiday event presented him with a charcoal portrait of him in recognition of his quartercentury of devoted volunteer service.

Teresa Whalen, founder of Christmas in Warrensburgh noted that Wright had participated in Christmas in Warrensburg since its beginning Ñ although heÕ s lived in Florida for over a decade Ñ and the year that he missed was because he was attending the wedding of his 86-year-old mother.

NORTH CREEK Ñ The holidays bring with them many traditions to look forward to; picking out and decorating the tree, gathering around the living room watching Christmas movies, and exchanging gifts with friends and loved ones.

The Saratoga North Creek Railway has created one

more thing for us to look forward to every year - The Polar Express Train Ride.

Modeled after the popular childrenÕ s story, The Polar Express Train Ride invites families to hop on the locomotive wearing their pajamas to enjoy the magic of Christmas. The train, equipped with dancing chefs, Christmas tunes, hot cocoa, along with Santa and his elves, is the epitome of the holiday spirit.

Reading along with Chris Van AllsburgÕ s famous sto-

ry, children and adults alike will live inside the Christmas tale and feel the magic that is inside SantaÕ s silver sleigh bell.

This year, the train rides began Nov. 14, and will run through Dec. 28, on specific dates. Marketing Director Sarah Munley said there were some changes during this edition of the Polar Express.

Christmas takes over Emerson Town Hall

WARRENSBURG Ñ On Dec. 6 and 7, the busy town of Warrensburg resembled the North Pole with Christmas time activities going on in every corner. From the first ever underclassmen play at the high school to the special shopping deals across town, everything had been touched with the holiday spirit. Perhaps the most bustling spot in town was at a usually stern place of business - Emerson Town Hall.

Every year, kids gather at Ò ToylandÓ for a ton of a activities under a seemingly small roof. The holiday epicenter opens at 9 a.m. and the fun doesnÕ t stop until 4 p.m., then even only for a few hours until the annual tree lighting. It seems Santa and his elves gave the Warrensburg Beautification Inc. a call and together the two mapped out the perfect day.

Live Reindeer and Santa himself sat out front of the building greeting guests as Warrensburg High schoolÕ s saxophonist, Aiden Moulton, set the tune for the day. Inside, children were scurrying throughout the building, choosing which Christmas craft to partake in next several of which were free of charge. Face painting, a wooden toy workshop, origami or thumb print ornaments, cookie and gingerbread house decorating were just a few of the traditional activities that were offered to those in attendance.

The event wasnÕ t just for youngsters either, upper-class students who were volunteering for their class seemed to be enjoying the fun and loving the day. Members of the class of 2017 were selling homemade soup to guests of the event, but some of the sophomores were sneaking away from the table to get crafty.

Zoe Morgan and Riley Fisk, both sophomores, went over to Sudjai BentleyÕ s origami ornament station and asked if she remembered them. The two WHS students have been attending the event for years, previously with their Girl Scout Troop, and Bentley definitely remembered their faces.

Bentley looked at them excitedly and said, Ò yes, I miss you,Ó as they all quickly exchanged hugs and later on “selfies” with the volunteer. Ò Every year weÕ ve gone over to her and made ornaments,Ó said Fisk. Ò I like the people here, everyone is together,Ó added Morgan. Ò WeÕ ve been coming here with girl scouts since we were little, for seven years now.Ó Some girls were starting just where Fisk and Morgan had years ago, and the excitement could be seen twinkling in their eyes. Warrensburg ElementaryÕ s Chorus took the stage and sang a handful of holiday favorites that gathered quite the crowd.

Nayana DeAmelia, 11 years old, loves a lot of things about Christmas in Warrensburg. Ò I get my face painted and the bakesales fundraise for the high school. I like singing in front of everyone,Ó said DeAmelia. Ò The activities that they have,Ó keep 11 year old Sara Langworthy coming back every year. Ò I like going to the tree lighting,Ó said 10 year old Ella Constantineau. “This year was my first year singing, I was a little nervous.”

As the Junior class sold Christmas time necessities and the local Girl Scouts offered holiday baked goods, the Sophomores were busy scooping out soup and Megan Pierce decorated faces while Skye Gregson carved up some wooden toys.

Every creature was stirring in Town Hall as children bounced from one station to another and volunteers became SantaÕ s helpers for the day.

The 26th Annual Christmas in Warrensburg transforms the whole town into a Winter Wonderland, and Toyland was just a slice of the magic.

Local school districts team up for Stand Up for Upstate Schools

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — Almost five years ago, the Gap Elimination Adjustment (GEA) was instituted to balance New York StateÕ s budget, taking away state aid from public schools and municipalities.

Now that that state has a surplus, these funds still have not been restored.

To address this and educate the community of its impacts, all 31 school districts in the region have joined together to create Ò Stand Up for Upstate Schools,Ó an advocacy event to be held Jan. 22 at 6 p.m. at Saratoga Springs High School.

In a recent interview, Superintendent of QueensburyÕ s school district, Doug Huntley, sat down with North WarrenÕ s Superintendent, Peg Brady, to discuss how this legislation has hurt their schools and communities. These two districts are made up of different demographics and populations, but the GEA has had similar effects on the schools.

Huntley reported that since the GEA was introduced, Queensbury has lost an estimated $16,000,000 in local funding. He said these arenÕ t just numbers, and it isnÕ t just money - it is so much more. This loss of aid has meant cutting 85 positions in the school district.

For North WarrenÕ s estimated $2,000,000 loss, it has meant losing 7.5 positions. In regards to the schoolsÕ populations, these numbers are very shocking and both administrators believe the damage doesnÕ t stop there. Ò What districts must do is reduce expenses,Ó said Brady. Ò This means increasing class size and eliminating several programs. In some schools that has even meant eliminating a foreign language.Ó Ò Today, the state has a surplus and it has been recognized,Ó commented Huntley. Ò When the state needed money they took it from public schools and now that the money is there it seems the district would be made whole again.Ó Huntley and Brady noted they must wait five years to get back the

Farms

Continued from page 1 Nagle cited a 167 percent increase between 2007 and 2012 in vegetable production in Warren County, adding that more local produce Ñ including maple products Ñ should be offered in local stores and restaurants.

Farming operations that raise livestock, poultry and trees are also on the rise in Warren County, Nagle added, noting that thereÕ s been a spike in farms operated by young adults ages 20 to 24.

The census figures also cite that 31 new farms are now in operation in Warren County,

hub.Ó Julie Nathanson, a Master Gardener educator with Cornell Cooperative Extension, suggested a campaign to convince managers of local restaurants and supermarkets to carry local produce. She noted that much of what is featured as Ò localÓ food in supermarkets comes from many miles away.

Jared Woodcock, a farmer who teaches Agricultural Entrepreneurship at SUNY Adirondack, said he was wary of governemental grants being spent on theorizing solutions Ñ which he said amounted to Ò Band Aids.Ó Noting that he and other area farmers now worked long hours for a little more than $2 per hour,

representing 973 acres Ñ land that should be protected from development, she said.

Nagle said that distribution of fresh local foods needs to be boosted, noting that a lot of the local produce is shipped to New York City and other metropolitan areas.

Enhancing local farmersÕ competitive position and linking them to markets, is a vital objective, she said. Ò This is a matter of economic development Ñ creating a resilient economy for local food production,Ó she said.

Nagle said suggestions to date have included establishing a year-round farmersÕ market in Glens Falls, establishing a Ò food

money they have lost, and if things continue to plummet, the schools will find themselves in even more terrifying positions.

StewartÕ s conducted a study that proved schools in the region are facing declining enrollment, some just trying to keep their doors open. Some institutions, like Minerva Central School, are already on the brink of extinction.

Brady is already predicting what could happen in the future if there is not an end to the GEA. Ò We wouldnÕ t be able to make the grade of having our students ready for college and careers,Ó said Brady. Ò Cutting deeply into these programs makes it difficult to have rigorous programs and put things in place to have kids succeed in a global economy. Programs that support internet and technology, we have to let go of anything that isnÕ t basic education.Ó It isnÕ t just the small rural schools swallowing these losses. Huntley said Queensbury has seen shocking figures that illustrate how very real this issue is in communities. Ò Almost every district is seeing an increase in free or reduced lunch programs, our school has seen a 15 percent increase,Ó said Huntley. Ò Two years ago, our homeless student population was 18 kids, last year it was 62, this year it will be more.Ó Brady said that in North Warren, there are currently eight homeless students. Ò WeÕ ve seen more students in poverty, more homeless students, the special education needs are more severe and we need the resources to deal with these issues,Ó said Huntley. Ò The only thing that wil get them out is an education.Ó Brady cited an example she recently faced with a special needs student in her district. She noted the addition of new mandates have increased the budget without increasing funding, and it has left her and her staff scrambling to meet the needs of their students. Because of North WarrenÕ s geographical isolation, Brady had no other choice but to send the student to Plattsburgh, with a price tag of $200,000. Ò You have to make due with what you have, it is what is best for

he said that such initiatives as a food hub need ongoing, substantial government support.

Amy Sabbatis of Cornell Cooperative Extension, observed that her agency was offering a series of courses in Good Agricultural Practices, training that can be useful in assuring a decent living for people engaged in farming.

She also noted that that more collaboration is needed amog farmers for them to reach mutual objectives.

the kids,Ó said Brady.

On Jan. 22, at 6 p.m. in Saratoga High SchoolÕ s Auditorium, State Up for Upstate Schools will gather a diverse panel of speakers to discuss this issue through their personal perspectives. Ò The bottom line is the state took money to recitify their problem and it hasnÕ t stopped,Ó said Huntley. Ò What they have been doing has been detrimental to educating our students.Ó

Adirondack Journal Editorial

Publisher’s Column

n these waning weeks of 2014, the U.S. news media has been consumed by its 24/7 coverage of racial strife, including Missouri riots and New York protests over alleged police brutality and the deaths of two black citizens. And just as the gloom of our nationÕ s failed foreign policy, its immigration and health care debacles, come home to roost and promise to turn 2014 into one of the worst years sinceÑ wellÑ 1968, a government agency, of all things, comes to our rescue and pulls America’s wounded pride from the fire yet again.

As you may recall, NASAÕ s space efforts not only saved 1968, but it seems to have also come to the rescue of this lamentable year 2014.

The U.S. space agencyÑ one of the few shining jewels in remaining in our national crownÑ demonstrated, with the amazing test flight of the new Orion spacecraft Dec. 5, that all our ugly tribal infighting can be overcome when we rise above this petty planet and look up to the stars. And NASA managed to work it magic even with one hand tied behind its budgetary back.

All those ethnically diverse and smiling faces at NASA had their eyes on a prize much bigger than the earthly politics of division.

NASAÕ s young facesÑ which showed black, white, brown and yellow on the space agencyÕ s TV network’s coverage of the Orion test flight mission—give me hope and a reason to believe that this nation is still great, and possibly the greatest, in spite of its leaders.

In the case of NASAÕ s new Orion spacecraftÑ which will someday take Americans to asteroids, the Moon and MarsÑ technical skills and the spirit of exploration, applied to a national goal, have an amazing way of uniting people.

Back in December 1968, after a year of heartbreaking Vietnam War casualties, increasing antiwar violence in the streets at home, and the tragic assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, it looked as though AmericaÕ s best days were receding quickly in the rearview mirror.

The dark year of 1968 had reached its final month, when, along came NASA and the Apollo 8 mission.

Three astronauts not only orbited the Moon in December of that year, they also returned safely to Earth to cheers and parades. The feat of Apollo 8—the first piloted craft to orbit our cratered neighbor in spaceÑ galvanized the attention of the world.

When the Apollo astronauts returned home, they were greeted with cheers and tons of fan mailÑ all in the days before e-mail and social media.

Among the many fan messages was a congratulatory telegram sent to Apollo 8 astronaut Jim Lovell. The simple telegram was sent by a housewife named Valerie Pringle. Ô Õ You saved 1968,Õ Õ she wrote.

PringleÕ s famous telegram spoke volumes about how a single event can inspire pride and hope in a national landscape strewn with bad news.

Sure, we’ll admit that 2014 isn’t quite as bad as 1968. Sure, NASA’s Dec. 5, 2014 test flight of the unmanned Orion spacecraft wasnÕ t as dramatic as Apollo 8, but it came close, even without a crew.

If you consider the political nonsense thrown in NASAÕ s path since the 1990sÑ everything from navel-gazing Earth-focused eco missions (violations of NASAÕ s founding space-focused mission statement) and buying Russian rocket engines (at the expense of U.S. made components) to American astronauts hitching rides aboard Soyuz capsules and the White HouseÕ s slick Ò all talk-and-noactionÓ space legerdemainÑ last weekÕ s mission should have been an utter failure. Instead, it was a brilliant success.

At the moment of the Orion Test FlightÕ s launch, at 7:05 a.m. Dec. 5, the entire NASA-TV website crashed.

NASA reported that millions of viewers tuned in to view real news in the makingÑ not a mindless rehashing (with hand wringing) of the weekÕ s civil unrest and celebrity fondlings.

Not surprisingly, not a single TV network bothered to broadcast the Orion test. No matter, the crash of the NASA-TV showed thatÑ despite what politicians and social critics tell usÑ millions of Americans remain very interestedÑ and engagedÑ in the exploration of space.

Ok, itÕ s time to reboot Valerie PringleÕ s December 1968 telegram. Thank you, NASA. You just saved 2014, too. Ñ D enton Publications Editorial Board

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden One Hundred Years Ago – December, 1914 Trains collide, severe injures suffered

A head on collision between a Hudson Valley trolley passenger car, north bound from Glens Falls and a work car heavily loaded with railroad ties, going south, occurred at 4:25 oÕ clock the evening of Dec. 2, 1914 on the curve just north of the Bloody Pond Crossing, about two miles south of Lake George. The north bound passenger car and work car loaded with ties met between switches. Each crew held the other responsible, John Wood, motorman of the passenger car, was the chief victim, sustaining many injuries. He later wrote, Ò I had the car going along at a good clip and we came upon the curve. Neither I nor motorman William McFarland could have seen far ahead because of the curve and it was not until his car was within two lengths of me that I saw it traveling along at just about the same clip as we were. I threw the breaks in at once but realized that we could not stop in time and I jumped to get out in time and my leg was caught.Ó When the two cars crashed, the bumper of the work car jumped up over that of the passenger coach, the front of which was demolished. Car windows were shattered and showers of glass fell about the heads of the passengers in the front of the car.

Motorman John Wood was the chief victim, sustaining a fracture of the right leg between the knee and hip, a fracture of the left wrist and severe bruises on his back. George W. Lucia, of Warrensburgh, who was riding in the smoker, was badly cut on his face and head by broken glass from the vestibule. Maurice OÕ Connor, proprietor of the Warren House hotel in Warrensburgh, occupied the same seat with Mr. Lucia but escaped with only a severe shaking up and a nervous shock. Richard Cashion, of Lake George, was severely cut on his face and an artery in his forehead was pierced by a splintered piece of glass.

Mrs. S.L. Aldrich and son, Edmund Aldrich, of Glens Falls, were coming to Warrensburgh to visit relatives and the latter sustained an injury to one leg when he was thrown against the seat by the shock. The vestibule of the passenger train was completely demolished.

The linemanÕ s car, in charge of Ernest Burditt, was behind the work car. Burditt and others placed Wood and Lucia on the linemanÕ s car. A telephone in a nearby house was used to summon medical aid from Glens Falls. The flow of blood from the cuts of Lucia and Cashion were stopped and Wood was hurried to the Glens Falls Hospital in an automobile stage.

Alive and well

By a strange twist of fate, the Hon. Louis W. Emerson, of Warrensburgh, who was a passenger on the trolley car that was recently demolished in Lake George, with his usual good luck escaped unscathed. (Note Ð The honorable Mr. Emerson, a former U.S. Congressman for two terms, picked himself up, dusted himself off and lived until 1924.)

Boy escapes watery grave

Over anxious to enjoy the first skating season on Loon Lake, William Moffat, a Chester youth, disregarded the dangerous thinness of the ice and started to skate across the lake Friday morning, Dec. 4, 1914 on his way to school. He had nearly reached the shore when he broke through. Weighted down by heavy clothing, the boy was unable to swim and in struggling to keep his head above the water became exhausted and sank to the bottom of the lake.

Henry Moffat, a brother of the youth, had seen his plight and started to his rescue before he went down. Unfortunately he also

broke through, but the water was shallower where he went in and he was able to break the ice and wade ashore. After a short delay a boat was procured and young Moffat, with the assistance of the two other boys, reached the spot where his brother went down. By diving they found the body and brought it to the surface.

In the meantime persons who had seen the accident summoned Dr. George Bibby, of Pottersville, and he arrived shortly after the boys reached the shore with the body of their playmate.

After an hour of strenuous labor, the physician and willing assistants working under his direction succeeded in restoring the lad to complete consciousness.

The boy was taken from the water half an hour after he fell in and was probably submerged fifteen or twenty minutes. His restoration to life after the ordeal he passed through was indeed remarkable.

George. The attendants were Miss Cordelia McElroy and Edward Mallon. The couple will reside in Hudson Falls.

In other wedding news, Bernice Baker and Miss Delia M. Jordan, both of Bolton, were married at the Baptist parsonage in Bolton on Sunday, Nov. 29, 1914 by the Rev. Thomas J. Hunter.

Attendants were Miss Nina M. Smith and Robert Wilcox.

News roundabout

Elwin Weaver died the morning of Dec. 3, 1914 of paralysis at his home in Lewisville, Warrensburgh, just two months after he had been afflicted. He leaves a widow and two sons, Gilbert H. and Rex Weaver, both of Glens Falls and also one brother, Dennis Weaver of Warrensburgh. The funeral was held at the Presbyterian Church with the Rev. Richard Abbott presiding. Burial was in the Warrensburgh Cemetery.

Our ancestors got along without steam heat, of course, but just look at them. They are mostly dead!

The snow is nearly gone and wagons are in use again. The Schroon and North Creek steam auto stages have resumed their scheduled trips.

It was just four years ago, Dec. 29, 1910 that Montgomery Ward and Sears Roebuck advertised clothing from the Warrensburgh Woolen mill to sell in their stores and catalogs.

One night recently, a large dog, owned by Arthur Gill, got to a venison carcass that Jessie Sexton had in one of his out-buildings, in Hague, and ate about twenty-five pounds of the meat.

H.C. Ingraham, of Landon Hill, Pottersville, butchered a yearling calf that weighed 650 pounds dressed. William W. Pasco killed a six months old pig in North Thurman that weighed 240 pounds.

Mrs. Ottest Fuller, formerly of West Bolton is the mother of a bright baby girl who has been named Marjory Helen Fuller.

Mrs. Fuller is staying with her mother, Mrs. Warren Wood, in Warrensburgh.

R.B. Lewis is sawing lumber for a new house at Blue Mountain Lake.

Jessie Howe is opening a store in the P. Lynn house in Olmstedville and will keep on hand fish, oysters and meat supplies.

At his wallpaper store at 129-131 Glen Street, Glens Falls, John Silva is selling his wallpaper stock for nothing over ten cents a roll.

Deadly statistics

Update

Mother loses her life saving son

The efforts of exposure from rescuing her sixteen year old son, Chester Prew, from drowning during the afternoon in one of the ponds in Mineville, resulted, Saturday night, Nov. 28, 1914, in the death of Mrs. Eli Prew, of Mineville.

Eli Prew, 16, was drowned and four others, including PrewÕ s eighteen year old, brother, John Prew, were saved. John Prew was in serious condition for a few days but is now recovering.

Life long villager dies

The death rate in Warrensburgh in 1914 is at present 19.7 per 1000. Last year, 1913, it was 15.9, in 1912, it was 13.8 and in 1911 it was 23.5 per cent. The unusual death rate in 1911 was due to many deaths due to pneumonia. In the total number of deaths in Warren County, one in every ten is caused by tuberculosis.

On the move again

Richard P. Smith Jr., who last spring sold his store and residence property at South Horicon and removed to Pottersville, is soon to make another change and become a resident of Chestertown, having recently purchased Ò Greyhurst,Ó the summer home of Mrs. S. Benton of Memphis, Tenn., at that place. Ò DickÓ Smith will occupy his new home as soon as arrangements can be made.

Husband declared dead and gone

On the petition of Estella L. Mull, of Glens Falls, her husband, John C. Mull, who disappeared March 8, 1907, had been declared officially dead. The declaration was made by Surrogate Raley, Of Warren County, who granted letters of administration to the petition on the estate of her officially dead husband. There is about $100 in real property and insurance of $1,000. Mr. and Mrs. Mull were married at Oneonta in 1900.

Wedding bells

Miss Pauline Russell, a former Warrensburgh girl, lately of Chatham, was married Saturday afternoon, Nov. 28, 1914 to Joseph Mallon, of Hudson Falls. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father Livingstone, at the Catholic rectory in Lake

I enjoy hearing from readers about what interests them in this column. Thank you especially to John Sullivan, Karmi Smith and Mark Axen.

I was surprised when I read the letter to the editor last week written by Eric Krantz stating that he Ò read with amazement (my) misguided comment regarding the blizzard of 1914Ó in connection with the so called current Ò global warmingÓ craze.

I certainly respect his opinion and take no offence even though I completely disagree with him. He evidently misread my comment.

From extensive reading on the subject of natural weather disasters, possibly back to the ice age, I believe that this is just another one of Mother NatureÕ s ugly efforts to prove to us that she is alive and well and is once again fully prepared to make our lives miserable as she has done so many times in the past.

I believe that this eventually will pass but I do not believe that anything can or will possibly be done by humans to try to change things in our lifetime.

Pumping pollution into the atmosphere without a doubt causes much of the poor health and misery we humans suffer currently but when it comes to doing what is right money will dry up good intentions every time and we will be left with a flood of useless political rhetoric.

I am here to reminisce about life in the Adirondacks as it was a hundred years ago. It is not a bit important what I think on this subject and Mr. Krantz can be assured that this is my last word on the matter.

Letters to the Editor

Country Christmas Tour gives thanks To the Adirondack Journal: The Country Christmas Tour in Indian Lake was held Nov. 28, and Nov. 29, and without all the support our steering committee received from the town and our many volunteers, we wouldnÕ t have been able to deliver such a wonderful experience. IÕ d like to thank all those who attended this yearÕ s event and battled the weather.

Our steering committee plans this event seven months in advance and the process involves many groups and volunteers, ranging from town, school and county personnel to organizations such as St. MaryÕ s (for hosting our ChildrenÕ s Workshop) Adirondack Museum (for many activities), to businesses such as The Hedges (for opening their doors with a tour) and PineÕ s Country Store, as well as individuals; Nelson Gauvin, Leddy Johnson, Mary Ellen Dowling, Kelly King, Ben Nolette, our cookie bakers, George and Diane McCane, Bob Willemsen (for his wonderful model train display) and many others who help us behind the scenes bring this event alive. As you can see, our list of volunteers is numerous, so please excuse me if I omitted your name. Without all of you, there wouldnÕ t be a Country Christmas Tour.

Response to letter

Nancy Harding, Chair Indian Lake

To the Adirondack Journal: Concerning the letter presuming to bring “flawed assumptions of the factsÓ to light from a previous Op-Ed piece, I would simply point out that the author states only conclusions in opposition without pointing out any facts at all, much less flawed ones in the op-Ed piece. Well, he does point out the fact that the Democrats got thumped but that doesnÕ t clarify anything, does

it? In these times of rubber stamp assertions rather than meaningful debate I guess it annoys me to have someone state HE is doing otherwise, and then not do it.

Don Austin Elizabethtown

Bill of Rights response To the Adirondack Journal: Mr. Phillips, In regards to your recent letter to the Journal I feel obligated to defend the veteranÕ s organizations resident in this area. First, Dec. 15, is not a Ò federal holidayÓ , it is President Franklin D. Roosevelt declaring Dec. 15, to be Bill of Rights Day, commemorating the 150th anniversary of the ratification of the Bill of Rights and is similar to numerous other days commemorating national events. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_D._ RooseveltÓ \o Ò Franklin D. RooseveltÓ ) Second, as I recall, the Bill of Rights applies to all citizens and is not restricted to vet-

erans. Third, feel free to contact either me or the Commander of the local American Legion and we will educate you on what we do, have done, and intend to do, for both our veterans and the community. Last, as a local and concerned citizen, it would have been nice of you to have contacted North Warren School and inquired as to what they do to recognize this day. Anytime we have contacted them regarding Ò patrioticÓ activities, they have been more than responsive. Out of curiosity, I have reviewed our minutes of the last year and have found no request of the nature you describe and I also do not recognize your name as being either a member or a supporter of the VFW. I would have preferred to call you on this matter but unfortunately, I cannot find you listed in the telephone book.

Burghers take third in wrestling tourney

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com SARANAC Ñ Warrensburg High kicked off their 2014-15 wrestling season Saturday in style, placing third in the Saranac Early Bird wrestling tournament Ñ their youthful roster wrestled tough against seven other teams.

Senior Lane Oehler won first-place honors in the 145-pound weight class, scoring the most team points for the Burghers. Saranac and Noble High from Maine won the two top slots. The other teams competing were Beaver River, and Malone representing New York State, and Middlebury, Essex and

Vergennes from Vermont. Ò It was a good early-season performance for us,Ó Warrensburg coach Mark Trapasso said. Ò We wrestled well.Ó Contributing to the teamÕ s success by placing second for the Burghers were seniors Austin West at 120 pounds, and Blake Vaisey at 285 pounds, as well as freshmen Greg Shambo at 138 pounds and Jack Binder at 195 pounds. Shambo nearly won his own championship Ñ he lost by a close 9-7 decision, Trapasso said.

Placing third for Warrensburg were 8th grader Zack Davis at 106 pounds and Alex Barber Jr., a junior at 170 pounds. Taking fourth place were freshmen Trevor Winchell at 99 pounds and Dan Monthony at 126

pounds, Trapasso said.. Ò We have a lot of rookies, but our younger kids are doing really well this year,Ó he said.

The next wrestling meets for Warrensburg are against Granville, away, Thursday, Dec. 11, and then the Duanesburg Duals Saturday, Dec. 13. The latter meet features Bethlehem, Shaker and Schoharie, as well as Adirondack from Section III, Trapasso said. Ò WeÕ re certainly going to attempt to build on the success we’ve had this first week,” he said.

With its roster full of underclass wrestlers, Warrensburg is facing a formidable challenge this year in the highly competitive Adirondack League, which has teams full of experienced wrestlers.

Standard Class. Ò The question has been posed many times through Facebook and other customer feedback,Ó said Munley. Ò We felt that with the added capacity this year, it was a sound decision that would help make the Polar Express Train Ride a possibility for the military and their families.Ó Every year, the Polar Express Train Ride grows in popularity, and this year ticket sales have gone through the roof.

Seats go fast, so SNCRR recommends booking your North Pole excursion as soon as possible. With over 17,000 tickets already sold for the holiday season, the Polar Express has become a hot commodity for

the cold winter months.

“The ridership is definitely trending upward,Ó said Munley. Ò We are already very close to exceeding 2013Õ s total sales. Ò We like to think this train ride is superior because it is personal and the whole family is engaged for the entire hour. It makes for priceless photo opportunities and really fun memories. The story book and movie do hold a special place in some peopleÕ s hearts, but even if you or your child are not familiar it is an exciting and lively event that we see several generations of one family enjoying year after year.

Call 877-726-7245 or visit SNCRR.com to book your trip to the North Pole.

Armed with experience and talent, Lady Burghers are aiming for titles

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ The Warrensburg High School Girls Basketball team is loaded with talent and lots of experience in winning, and the players and area sports fans have high hopes for their 2014-15 season.

At the top of the roster is Erin Langworthy, a junior guard who has been commanding media attention for years. She is renowned statewide for her deadeye outside shot, her skilled ballhandling and for aggressively forcing turnovers. She averaged more than 21 points per game last season Ñ from all over the court.

This last year, Langworthy was named Adirondack League MVP, a regional All-Star, and was chosen as a New York State first-team Class D All-Star player.

She is joined by Liz Turner and Brittany Frasier, two athletes who were both named Honorable Mention area All-Stars. All three have extensive court experience.

Sportswriter Brett Hudson of the Post-Star said last year that Britanny Frasier would have won Ò Freshman of the YearÓ award, if one existed. He praised her for clutch shooting on the teamÕ s 2013-14 campaign into the Section II semifinals, as well as being a skilled rebounder. Ò The Langworthy-Frasier two-headed monster is going to be fun to watch next year,Ó he said earlier this year. This week, Burgher Coach Scott Smith praised Frasier for her work on both offense and defense, noting that she averaged 7.5 points per game last year and will be expected to both score and rebound well for the 2014-15 campaign.

The 2014-15 Warrensburg Varsity Girls Basketball team includes: (front, left to right): Melenie Warner, Ryley Scott, Heather Wood, Kerri Fino, Zoe Morgan, Amanda Gee, (rear): Erin Langworthy, Madison Sheridan, Cara Squires, Shelby Jay, Erica Baker, Starr Hughes, Britanny Frasier and coach Scott Smith. (Not pictured): Liz Turner.

Liz Turner, a Senior, is a tough field hockey player and many years ago was a top athlete in youth football. SheÕ ll be battling it out under the boards, undoubtedly playing a key role in the teamÕ s success, Smith said this week. Ò Turner will be called upon to rebound and provide toughness inside against much bigger players,Ó Smith said, noting that her scoring Ñ which improved during last year Ñ will be vital for teamÕ s success in 2014-15.

Then thereÕ s Ryley Scott and Melenie Warner, two athletes who know what it takes to win Ñ they both were key players on the BoltonWarrensburg Girls Soccer team that ended up several weeks ago competing in the New York State Final Four. Smith said Ryley will be employing her speed and quickness on defense to disrupt other teams.

The Burghers not only have considerable talent, but they have substantial momentum.

In mid-season last year, they won nine games straight which earned them the No. 2 spot in the leagueÕ s Western Division and No. 3 rank in Section II Class D. Coach Smith said that among the returning veterans are seniors Catie Baker and Amanda Gee, who have shown considerable improvement. Smith added that he and the players are hopeful that Shelby Brainard will also be able to join the team at some point this season, as she is presently sidelined for a medical reason.

Newcomers who are showing promise in recent practices are juniors Cara Squires and Kerri Fino plus sophomores Zoe Morgan, Madison Sheridan, Starr Hughes and Heather Wood Ñ who Smith said will all play major roles in the 2014-15 campaign. Ò The younger players and new faces will be instrumental in our quest for an Adirondack League Championship and a Class D Sectional Playoff run,Ó he said.

Scott noted that his players will have to hustle to overcome the BurghersÕ height disadvantage this year Ñ his two tallest players are 5Õ 7Ó . Ò We will need to push the ball in transition this year Ñ and we need to use defensive pressure to create offensive opportunities,Ó he said.

Smith concluded that his players need to keep up their dedication for the team to achieve its goals in the league play Ñ which he predicted will be Ò ultra competitive.Ó Ò We are excited about the upcoming season, but know we will have our work cut out for us,Ó he said. Ò This year may be the strongest and most balanced the league has been in quite some time.Ó

With strong rebounding and sharpshooting, Burghers defeat Hartford

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com HARTFORD Ñ Despite a lineup of young players, the talented Warrensburg varsity basketball team outscored the Hartford Tanagers in an Adirondack League game Dec. 5, winning the back-andforth battle 44-30.

Both the Burgers and Tanagers had strong outside shooters, dependable ball handlers, and standout players but WarrensburgÕ s communication combined with Hartford’s unfinished baskets earned the win for Warrensburg.

Right from the jump ball, it was clear that the Burghers worked well together in their respective roles.

Junior Erin Langworthy, a Varsity superstar for years, played a key role in many of WarrensburgÕ s plays. Whether she was fed the ball from the top of the key or receiving a pass on a drive to the basket, she delivered time after time for a total of 18 game points.

Senior Liz TurnerÕ s presence inside was crucial on both offense and defense Ñ she relentlessly fought for rebounds, putting up some critical second shots for the Burgers. Sophomore Britanny Frasier added 14 points to the overall score, setting the tempo for the game with her killer ball-handling skills and effortless strides to the basket. With two years left in her career, the future looks bright.

With impressive players on their roster, Hartford didnÕ t let the Burgers win easily Ñ but their shots just werenÕ t falling.

Hartford powerhouse senior Jen Aubin proved that she has experience and talent, pulling down some key rebounds. She led her team with 12 points. Teammate Olivia McFarren, a Senior, followed with eight points.

She repeatedly hung outside at the top of the key, waiting for the ball to get reversed her way. Each time McFarren was on the court, the warning phrase Ò Shooter, your sideÓ was shouted from Warrensburg’s bench. McFarren’s shot is fluid and calculated, and she’s considered a major threat this season.

Another impressive aspect of this Adirondack League showdown was the wealth of talent that came off both benches. Unlike most close-call games, the starting lineups didnÕ t play the majority of the time. Players were rotated into the game every few minutes, indicating that the younger talent would be playing major roles in 2014-15.

At one point, Warrensburg had four sophomores on the floor: Starr Hughes, Madison Sheridan, Zoe Morgan and Frasier. This group has played sports together since elementary school, this was evident in the Hartford game.

Communication and teamwork was strong, and the secondstring players could have been mistaken for the starting lineup.

Sophomores Heather Wood and Madison Sheridan contributed to the score Ñ and this was only the second varsity game of their careers.

HartfordÕ s Mykaila Beebe and Jessica Getty, both skilled players, executed plays with confidence.

Playing with intensity through the game, the Tanagers demonstrated discipline.

The hard-fought contest indicates that both teams have strong potential this year.

With the victory, the Warrensburg Burgers rebounded from a 1953 season-opening loss which sports observers chalked up to firstgame jitters.

Fat Guys in the Woods!

I

Gardens of Eden

I

went out to Western NY for my annual deer hunting trip this year, only to have the weather reduce the trip to hours of travel time. Opening day was snow and I mean the start of the storm in Buffalo. The deer were hunkered down and non-cooperative for the first two days into the season, and then the big snow came.

I made the decision to leave the camp early due to the forecast of five feet of snow or more.

I traveled up to my brotherÕ s home and he said the forecast was for the wind pattern to slowly move south, blanketing his town with an expected three or four feet.

Hoping to see my family before I left was now out of the question. The snow was already too deep and the roads closed except for emergency traffic. So, the decision was made to beat feet out of there and try and get around the storm and get home. Heading back towards the Pennsylvania line and then traveling east in the Southern Tier of NY, I was skirting the storm.

After eleven and one half hours, I finally made it home to Moriah; a road burnout, goo goo eyes and all!

Checking in with everyone was now the goal.

The land line was now our form of communication. I would go back if they needed help like a generator, water pump or whatever, to help out.

I had to wait until the emergency was over and they allowed people back on the roads.

Thankfully, the snow melted slowly and did no damage. There was very little flooding, cellar pump outs or water damage. The family was trapped in their homes for four or five days, with shoveling 5 to 7 feet of snow out of the drive as the chore of the week.

The snow disappeared almost as fast as it came. I had to go back for a funeral this past week in Ontario, Canada and saw the green grass of Hamburg, NY. Seven feet of snow was reduced to a few piles along the roads or where they stockpiled the snow during the removal process.

Most of the snow was gone but what was left behind was a demonstration of the power and weight of snow. Over 20 commercial buildings crushed under the weight of the snow.

On my way through the area, I drove along route 62, in the Town of Eden, where I once lived. Eden is the center of agriculture in Erie County. Cabbages; broccoli, vegetables and sweet corn are all grown there by the ton.

Greenhouses and farmers markets line the town roads with fantastic deals for buying local foods. Sausages, meats, fruits and vegetables are all on sale, when in season to those who ap-

preciate quality foods.

For EdenÕ s agriculture it was a big hit.

Green houses and high tunnels made of glass and plastic were squashed by the weight of the wet

By Rich Redman snow. Those green houses that were lined up next to each other to save space really took the hit. They were leveled. The weight of the snow on the top and pressure on the sides was too much. It brought them down.

Compacted greenhouses do not grow fruits and vegetables. Many had crops growing in them to supply markets with fresh spinach and other greens for winter use. They were also destroyed.

The Western New York farmers and their Ò Gardens of EdenÓ encountered natures wrath.

A Farmers livelihood depends on growing food for all of us, so the next time you drive by a farmers market, stop and buy some locally grown food. That spinach or other greens you are getting today may have been grown out in Western NY, or just down the road. It doesnÕ t matter. All of New York is local to me. I have lived, visited, hunted and fished all over the state and can call many places home.

From Tonawanda NY where the General Motors engine plant is, to Hamburg, with the Ford stamping plant, to EdenÕ s gardens all the way across the state to Washington County Dairy farms, to Clinton CountyÕ s Macintosh and Cortland Apple Orchards; they are all part of our lives, so buy local.

The farmers in Western NY will go on. Crops will be planted and harvested for you to enjoy. We all need to remember; we can buy local foods or get imported foods from foreign countries that donÕ t have the same regulations as we do. ItÕ s a choice that affects lives.

DonÕ t ya love those stickers that say buy local when they are slapped on the bumper of a Subaru, Honda, VW or Toyota? Get real!

Conservation

Conversations

recently watched an episode of Ò Fat Guys in the WoodsÓ , a new reality show which features a group of three or four amateur woodsman roughing it in the forested mountains of Tennessee.

The premise of the show is obviously entertainment, as it allows viewers to witness the hardships of four inexperienced outdoorsmen who endure a host of difficulties as they attempt to survive for three days in the woods without any food, water, shelter or fire.

Of course, the reality of the survival experience comes immediately into question when you realize they are wired for sound and filmed from every angle.

Despite alot of talk about hunting and trapping wild critters for food, the end result of most of these efforts is usually a quick snack of slugs, bugs, a frog or some berries.

Although the program does occasionally offer some solid information on the development of survival skills, the majority of their time is consumed with building shelters, attempting to start a fire or working on nonessential skills such as weaving cordage for unspecified use.

However, it is the development of primitive skills that should be a key element of every outdoor travelerÕ s bag of tricks.

Honing survival skills and a comprehensive knowledge of the outdoors has largely become a lost art, especially in this day and age of Ô instant everythingÕ .

ItÕ s been estimated that less than one in a hundred adults currently know how to kindle a fire, secure potable water or establish the direction of true north without a compass.

I guess it shouldnÕ t be much of a surprise, as we have come to a point in history where such knowledge no longer considered important. A cell phone is likely the only survival tool most travelers consider necessary today.

However, there was a time when such skills and knowledge was essential for an individualÕ s daily survival. It was a time before The Weather Channel provided instant weather updates, and the average traveler actually knew how to read the natural signs.

In the timeframe of 1880Õ s through the early 1900Õ s, there were over a hundred woodsmanÕ s manuals penned by the likes of Bradford Angier, Horace Kephart, Elmer Kreps, George Washington Sears (Nessmunk), Ellsworth Jaeger, and Ernest Thompson Seton among others.

A majority of these publications were devoted to the skills necessary to get by in a northern woodland setting, although several of the authors also dealt with cold weather camping.

A list of the most popular titles would have to include Ò Camping and WoodcraftÓ by Horace Kephart, Ò Woodcraft and CampingÓ by George Washington Sears, Ò Camping OutÓ by Warren Miller, Ò The ForestÓ by Stewart Edward White, Ò Camp and TrailÓ by Stewart Edward White, Ò TrailcraftÓ by Claude Fordyce Ò Touring AfootÓ by Claude Fordyce, Ò WoodcraftÓ by Elmer Kreps, and In Camp-Lore and Woodcraft by Umcle Dan Beard The origin of the term ‘primitive’ comes from prime – meaning first. The foundation of modern man’s ‘first skills’ were likely refining tools and techniques for cutting, trapping and eventually, for controlling fire.

Fire making remains among the most useful of all outdoor skills, and it is an essential tool to have in any oneÕ s bag of tricks.

A simple fire will get a traveler through tougher times than any other single skill. Fires provide warmth, light, visibility, heat, protection, and comfort. Fire keeps the mind from wandering, and focused on the present. It keeps a person busy.

Despite a constant need for improvements, and the advent of new technologies and materials, there will always be a need for mankind to look back. Maybe it is just simple nostalgia, or a yearning for days long since past.

But, whatever the case, there is no doubt that mankind retains a deep seated need for rough settings in natural surrounding.

I suppose it was the great naturalist, John Muir who explained it best, when he claimed, Ò Going to the woods is going home, for I suppose we all came from the woods originally.Ó ItÕ s interesting to note the wide variety of topics and skills offered in these early publications which ranged from camp construction, to fire building, cooking, hunting, fishing and trapping.

The necessities of food, water and shelter were given heavy play, while there was little mention of the necessity of simple play.

By and large, the manuals were penned in a very serious matter, as survival was not to be taken lightly.

As part of my ongoing effort to introduce the next generation of outdoor travelers to the ways of the woods, I often provide them with a full day of skills development which includes shelter building, fire starting, and the essential elements of land navigation. We also work on track identification, fishing techniques and collecting wild edibles.

There is a particular satisfaction that comes with knowing you possess the skills and knowledge necessary to get by in the woods. And with this knowledge, comes confidence and comfort.

Having the skills necessary to start a fire can be the difference between a simple adventure and a tragic incident.

Fish trap expected to pay dividends for salmon fishery A significant upgrade at the Ed Weed Fish Culture Station in Grand Isle is expected to pay dividends for the health of the salmon population in Lake Champlain.

Recently, hatchery staff, fisheries biologists and other officials from the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department teamed up to construct a fish trap on Hatchery Brook, the station’s discharge stream. The trap will improve the collection process for adult salmon during their spawning run into the brook.

After being collected, the adult salmon are used to reproduce and provide fertilized eggs for the stateÕ s Ed Weed Fish Culture Station, where the eggs are hatched and young salmon are reared before being returned to Lake Champlain.

“Being able to collect fish in a safe, efficient and effective way for both staff and salmon is key to our overall fisheries management plan,” said Adam Miller, fish culture operations chief with Vermont Fish & Wildlife.

Former methods used to collect salmon involved more handling and stress on fish, and were less efficient for hatchery staff and biologists.

Lighting a fire with a spark from flint and steel is a very satisfying experience. Cooking healthy sized trout fillets over the coals of the same fire is even more rewarding.
