WEVERTOWN — In the space of a few minutes, Katie Nightingale went fr om sitting in the audience to occupying a town boar d seat at Johnsburg's first 2012 town meeting.

“I expected them to take action on the vacant seat tonight,” said Nightingale, “I didn't expect they'd actually make me come sit at the table.”

By the close of the board's organizational meeting, the newest member and only woman on the boar d was seconding motions, moving along items like the motion to pay warrants and the motion to adjourn, eliciting a quip fr om boar d veteran Gene Arsenault.

“We should have had her at the beginning of the meeting,” he said as the meeting approached 9 p.m., “We'd be out of here by now.”

With one boar d seat empty at the open of the meeting and new member Pete Olesheski appearing a bit unsure as he car efully crafted and amended motions, the two-page agenda for establishing town titles took a fair amount of discussion, with a couple items tabled for future meetings.

A NURSING HOME WEDDING Staff brings wedding to injured mother at Tri-County facility

By John Grybos

jgrybos@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — Holiday wishes do come true, with a little bit of creativity.

After an early November auto accident that left her with both hips and a femur broken, white-hair ed grandmother Rita Holland was bed-ridden at the Adirondack TriCounty Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center.

Her son, Denny Holland, was getting ready to marry Dee Hof fay. But even after nearly two months of recovery, Rita was in no condition to leave the rehab facility.

Denny's father died early in 201 1, and making sur e his mother could attend his wedding ceremony was a priority.

“He adamantly wanted his mom ther e,” said Hoffay. “There was no question whether or not she would be there; we just needed to make that happen.”

So Hof fay, who'd done some job training at the facility about 20 years ago, got in touch with an old friend. That friend is Nancy T r uland, now dir ector of nursing at the T riCounty facility.

“She called me and asked if they could do the wedding her e at the facility ,” said T ruland, w ho's w orked t here f or 2 5 y ears. “ I said I guess so, I don't know why we couldn't.”

Hearing that the Tri-County facility could accommodate them was a r eally happy moment for Denny.

“That was the only way my mother could be there,” said Denny. Otherwise, she'd only see photos or a video.

So the wedding was on, set for a dining room at the facility Dec. 30. The accommodation of the nursing home staf f was a first for a lot of people.

Robin W illiams, who of ficiated the cer emony, shr ugged when asked about the unusual setting, and said, “You can do a wedding anywhere.” The most unusual location he could quickly recall presiding over a marriage was the fountain at the Word of Life.

Hal Payne, director of the nursing and rehab facility, r ecalled a pair of r esidents being married at another facility he worked at, but has never seen an event like this.

Hal Payne, dir ector of the facility , said,

“

For a small-town nursing home, they did big-town work.

—Dee Hoffay, bride

”

In rough shape after a car crash, Rita Holland couldn’t make it to her son’s wedding. So the Adirondack Tri-County facility in North Creek helped bring the wedding to her.

“We do anything we can to assur e the r esidents get to enjoy normal life.”

Hoffay was full of compliments for the facility staff. Jamie Reynolds, activities dir ector there, said the event was a facility-wide effort.

“We've had private memorial services,” an accommodation more in line with the facility's of ferings, which include hospice car e, “but never a wedding,” said Reynolds.

Truland said one staff member could recall

a very small wedding cer emony held at the Tri-County building, but the packed r oom where the Hollands became man and wife and held their r eception was undoubtedly unprecedented.

“For a small-town nursing home, they did big-town work,” said Hoffay.

At the event, Rita was dre ssed in black and gold finery, with hair carefully coiffed by her daughter. She was in good enough shape to sit comfortably in a wheelchair for the wed-

ding. T he w eek b efore, s taff a t t he f acility thought she might have to attend in bed.

“She's a har d cookie,” said Hof fay. “If she's in a lot of pain, she wouldn't let anybody know.”

But Rita made it through the wedding ceremony with aplomb, and said she was happy the facility staff could bring the wedding to her, since she couldn't be br ought to the wedding.

“They've been great,” said Rita.

North Warren EMS open house set, volunteers sought

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com C H E S T E RTO W N — T h e local ambulance squad is holding a public r eception next week to familiarize local citizens with its equip-

ment and services — and all are invited to attend.

The North W arren Emergency Squad, which r esponds to about 800 calls per year, is holding an open house at 1 to 6 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 14 at the squad building on Rte. 8 in the town of

Chester.

Attendees will be given tours, with squad of ficials exhibiting and demonstrating the high-technology equipment the squad members use, particularly for their Advanced Life Support services.

28405

On hand will be a Life-Net helicopter that is equipped to handle critical incidences and transport trauma victims to Albany Medical Center.

Demonstrations of cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques and oxygen therapy equipment will be offered, squad pr esident Kevin White said.

“Saving lives is a serious business and our EMS staf f and volunteers never for get

this,” he said.

White said the squad has more than 50 members.

Soon, the squad will have a total of thr ee modern ambulances, so appr opriate backup is available during periods of high calls or multiple-victim incidences.

Each vehicle is to be complete with EKG cardiac monitoring and car diac r esuscitation equipment as well as lifesaving drugs.

The squad covers emer-

gencies in the towns of Chester and Horicon plus it responds to mutual aid calls in Warren and Essex counties.

The squad is now seeking more volunteers as drivers, EMTs and helpers. V olunteers’ time is scheduled in six-hour shifts on a 24-hour basis, although mor e flexible hours ar e available.

Many members respond from home, distance permitting. Training is provided, Squad Captain Bill LaPierr e said, noting that the squad headquarters is fully equipped to make duty hours pleasant. Those interested in volunteering can call White or LaPierre at 4944317.

Staff and volunteers ar e fully committed to the communities they serve.

“There is just nothing more important and personally r ewarding as helping others,” he said.

Plans for Warrensburg Price Chopper move forward

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — The plans for a new Price Chopper supermarket and a shopping plaza near Northway Exit 23 just south of Warrensburg are moving forward, area officials said last week.

Vanguard-Fine Real Estate development has submitted site plans, engineering r eports and an ar chitectural elevation to the town of Lake Geor ge describing a 30,500square-foot gr ocery stor e in a shopping plaza that would include another 10,800square-foot stor e, a fr eestanding bank branch and a another store of about the same size and 229 parking spaces.

The site plans include an ar chitectural drawing of the supermarket, bearing a Price Chopper logo. A r epresentative of Golub Corp., Price Chopper’s parent company, was before the town of Lake Geor ge Planning Board in early December with the extensive plans. Attempts to reach Price Chopper were

unsuccessful by press time.

The plaza would be wedged between Bakers Cr ossing Road, Pr osser Road and Harrington Hill Road, about 150 feet of f Rte. 9, across from McDonald’s Restaurant.

The development plans are contingent on the town of W arrensburg contracting with the town of Lake Geor ge to pr ovide sewer and water services.

Warrensburg Town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty noted that the town was r eady to negotiate such a contract as soon as the town of Lake Geor ge forms both a water district and a sewer district that would not only pr ovide services for the pr oposed shopping plaza but the Exit 23 Mobil station and McDonald’s Restaurant as well.

He said the water and sewer services would be sold at a rate that would pr ovide income for the operation of the Warrensburg sewer and water districts, and that the charge to the new Lake George district might include a significant portion of the capital costs of developing a new well.

A traf fic study submitted with the plans estimates that as many as 419 vehicles per hour would visit the plaza, and that quantity would mean er ecting a traf fic signal at Prosser Road and Rte. 9.

Discussions between town of Lake George Planning Boar d members and developers have included ur gings that the stor efront feature Adirondack-style ar chitectural accents, including stonework.

The site is on a steep grade, and the parking lot would include cutting fairly deep into a slope. The bank office would sit at the north end of the development by Pr osser Road, and the grocery store and the attached larger retail space would be at the southern end of the plot near Bakers Crossing Road.

Measuring 30,000 squar e feet, the supermarket would be about half the size of the major supermarkets in Glens Falls.

The progress on this Price Chopper development puts the status of another similar grocery/shopping p laza d evelopment i nto question.

In September, Devon Dalpos of the Laker Development group presented plans for another s hopping p laza w ith a m ajor s upermarket to be situated on 25 acres behind the Warrensburg Post Of fice on Main St. in the Warrensburg hamlet.

Both B arry F einman a nd Vanguard-Fine and Dalpos have said the immediate r egion could probably only support one such major development.

Warrensburg town officials have been exerting most of their effort into landing a plaza within their town — to generate more tax dollars, as well as boost the business activity in the hamlet.

Whether situated in downtown W arrensburg or over the town line in Lake Geor ge, local officials say the consumer will be benefitted by the competition pr ovided by the major chain, driving down local gr ocery prices.

Efforts to contact of ficials of V anguardFine and Laker Development wer e unsuccessful this week.

Reluctantly climbing back on the train Sunday afternoon, after practically mastering the sport [of skiing], he is possessed of two things. One is a r eservation for next week-end. The other is the mounting love for this little town nestled in the side of the mountain, presenting the best in skiing, the best in companionship — and he still has a comforting jingle in his pocket which attests to the fact that he can come her e without having to break the bank at Monte Carlo!”

The snow trains wer e wildly popular for nine winters. The winter sports clubs carried on with trail development and r ope tow installations and looked forward to the future installation of a T-Bar lift.

What no one anticipated was the war .

When it took hold and took men with it, there was no one left to groom the trails and few skiers were left to ride the trains or the trails. Furthermor e, the train operators focused on transporting tr oops and goods for the war effort.

The snow trains were re-established in the late 1940s and early 1950s, but wer e welcomed with little success. The popularity of the private automobile made getting to the mountain a quicker trip. Ski buses wer e attempted but were not nearly as successful as those snow train rides.

But the trails at Gore Mountain continued to develop. In 1964 the Adirondack Moun-

tain Authority, a state-r un department, began overseeing the operations of the mountain. At the expense of the state, new chair lifts were installed and later, in 1967, the red gondola lift — the first gondola in the state.

In anticipation of the 30th anniversary of the snow train, North Creek residents established a celebratory ride called “Snow T r ains Unlimited” in 1974. Unfortunately , it was canceled for lack of snow on the mountain.

While that was disheartening to ski train enthusiasts, it did bolster the state’s ef forts to install artificial snow-making guns on the mountain, especially since a few seasons were cut short completely due to the lack of snow in the mid and late 1970s.

The Olympic Regional Development Authority took contr ol of Gor e Mountain in 1984. Under this management, the mountain continues to establish new trails and better the existing ones. In 2010, work was completed on the triple chair lift connecting the small village mountain, also known as Ski Bowl, to Gore Mountain. The Ski Bowl slopes were home to some of those first r ope tows installed in the 1930s.

Now in 2012, the Saratoga-North Cr eek Railway will attempt to regain the popularity of snow trains not seen in over 70 years.

Gore Mountain still pr esents the best in skiing, and North Cr eek still of fers small town hospitality; all with a comforting jingle left in your pocket.

These low-profile guns were installed along the Showcase trail, a 1.25 mile cruiser under the high-speed Adirondack Express lift line.

Gore gets more snow guns NORTH CREEK — Following an autumn installation of 130 snow-making guns to the trails at Gore Mountain’s four peaks, 30 low-profile guns were added to the Showcase the last week of December.

The 10-foot super -efficient tower guns are located to not impact the lift, as the snow is blown under the cables. The water flow is variable, which allows Gore 's snowmakers to contr ol the quality and amount of snow pr oduced as the temperatur es change.

The ener gy savings of these 160 new

guns amounts to offsetting 1,428,721 KWH of electricity — 11 percent of Gore’s annual usage, or enough to power 260 average three-bedroom homes for a year.

The snowmaking guns have been accompanied by several other impr ovements for 2011/2012, which include the addition of two new glades on Little Gor e Mountain, the all-new Open Pit Grille on the sundeck, a renovation to the Tannery Pub & Restaurant, and a long extension of the Chatterbox Glades.

It's the stuf f movies ar e made of — a secret relationship, a pr egnancy and a murder. Mor e than a century after it happened in Big Moose Lake, the Chester Gillette murder case of 1906 is the mur der that will never die.

The killing of Grace Brown and the case following was the subject of Theodore Dreiser's 1925 book “An American Tragedy” and the Hollywood movie "A Place in the Sun." The story continues to be told today with a 1999 opera at the Metr opolitan Opera in New York and in a 2011 documentary "North

CSEA should take note of sacrifices made by unionized city library

W

ould you give up purchasing a doughnut and cup of coffee each morning to save the job of a co-worker?

How about 10 co-workers?

Apparently the union representing Essex County would not. And it is wrong on many levels.

Faced with a looming budget shortfall, Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas approached union leaders back in July and asked them to consider concessions to avoid layoffs.

Supervisors asked the local chapter of the Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) to reopen negotiations in the final year of a four-year contract, and consider foregoing an agreed-upon 4 percent raise in 2012.

The concession would have saved the county $750,000, avoided layoffs and helped control taxes.

But the union dug in its heels, and now 10 Essex County employees will help further pad the county’s 10.4 percent unemployment rate.

Let’s put this in context. A 4 percent pay increase to a county employee making $30,000 is $1,200. After taxes, that is a little more than $2 a day.

But the local CSEA chapter, no doubt fearing it would create a statewide precedent, opted not to re-open talks until midJanuary when it negotiates its next contract.

Ten jobs in a county of less than 400 workers was apparently worth the sacrifice.

Let’s hope supervisors do not forget those 10 workers, or the local union’s unwillingness to give during the next round of negotiations.

At the same time, most of the unionized county workers stood behind the decision.

Do Essex County workers deserve raises? Absolutely. They work very hard and definitely deserve cost-of-living increases.

But so do a lot of people. And the reality is a lot of public and private sector workers are having to make concessions in this economy.

Very few workers will be getting a 4 percent increase next year. Meanwhile, the taxing burden to pay public sector salaries and benefits continually grows.

Something’s got to give.

We are seeing sacrifices taking place all

around us — from school teachers agreeing to pay freezes, to town employees picking up more of their health insurance to private sector workers taking unpaid furloughs and pay reductions. People are doing more with less to avoid more people in the unemployment line, including themselves.

It is time the local CSEA and its members stepped to the plate and did the same, just as the unionized workers at Plattsburgh City Library did last week.

To save four positions on the chopping block, the 15 union library employees voted unanimously to a host of concessions that included a four-year pay freeze; a reduction in hours from 37 to 35; a 15 percent contribution toward health insurance and a 50 percent cut in sick days.

Similarly, CSEA-represented state workers have agreed to no salary increases during the next three years, and modest 2 percent increases in the final two years of a five-year contract.

Can you see the local chapter laying anything close to that on the table this January? They have lobbied in favor of giving paid days off to employees on their birthdays. What is that all about?

It is that type of thinking and the reluctance of our elected officials to put an end to it that has created such a divide and has driven taxes to historic levels.

As a country, we simply cannot afford the benefits and luxuries we once did in either the public or private sector, and it is time unions face that very real fact.

In a reader ’s poll posted on our website, www.denpubs.com, 75 percent of those who responded — no doubt some of the very people they represent — said the CSEA should have conceded on the 2012 pay raise to save the county layoffs.

Another 20 percent said the union should be disbanded altogether.

With that in mind, we have just one thing to say to county lawmakers as they engage in contract negotiations later this month: The ball is in your court.

MCS on verge of allowing academic visa students

By John Grybos

I

jgrybos@denpubs.com OLMSTEDVILLE — Though they've seen plenty of international students thr ough sports and academic pr ogram sharing with Newcomb Central, the Minerva Central School is hoping to build international attendance in its own home rooms.

“Similar to most Adirondack communities, we have a pr etty homogenous population,” said Minerva School Superintendent Tim Farrell.

Bringing in new students fro m faraway cultur es would be a boon to the educational experience of local students. Instead of interacting only with other young people very much like themselves, students get a chance to understand the cultures of faraway places, Farr ell said.

Minerva has hosted international students for the last five years, said Farrell, but they visited on the J-1 cultural visa. The J-1 visa limits a student's ability

Minerva Central School to earn academic credit. The F-1 visa is an educational visa that allows academic pr ogression or graduation fr om a U.S. school.

Academic visa students must pay the full tuition at public schools.

The school boar d began talking about seeking appr oval for students with F-1 visas at the end of the last school year and

applied for federal approval this fall. They've just completed their site visit, said Farrell. That should be the last major hur dle to clear before they can get final approval.

Indian Lake Central's school board recently approved the cost of applying for F-1 approval, encouraged in lar ge part by Newcomb Superintendent Skip

Hults. At the boar d meeting where the costs wer e approved, Hults said the social lives and worldview of his students wer e greatly expanded by interacting with international visitors.

School r esources like teachers and facilities are again busy, and enrollment climbed by 75 percent in four years.

NFL Picking Contest Standings

By Tom Henecker

tom@denpubs.com Holy Cow! The New York Football Giants ar e NFC East Champions again!!!

More on that a few lines down…

Making sure there was no doubt who this year’s News Enterprise NFL Picking Contest winner would be, Brian Fr eebern finished with authority — 15-1 — to take top honors, five games better than runner-up Dan Freebern. It was another great year, with several lead changes thr oughout the season. We’ve got a lot of pr etty intelligent NFL fans, with a good portion of our pickers finishing with records as good or better than a lot of pro fessional prognosticators you’ll see on TV and in print elsewhere.

Thanks to everyone for making this another gr eat season.

Ski trains, and growing pains

A

lthough traditional winter weather has largely been AWOL so far this season, I expect it will eventually arrive. And as the North Country goes, winter weather is better late than never. Our regional economy is based on providing opportunities in a land of ice and snow, where lovers of winter can easily go.

Recently, the long journey to the great, white North has become a whole lot easier. Travelers may no longer have to contend with winding mountain roads while dodging the slush, mush, and frost heaves. Skiers will no longer have to suffer through long lines of traffic, which often comes to a standstill as they jockey for a parking space closer to the Ski Lodge.

The historic Gore Mountain ski train first began service in 1934 and by 1936, ski train connections were extended to New York City’s Penn Station, as North Creek boasted the first public ski center in New York State. Eventually, as modern interstate highways provided faster and more convenient access to the region, rail service dwindled and the ski train was eventually discontinued.

The first, Gore Mountain Ski and Snow Train of the modern era, recently departed Saratoga Station on Friday, Dec. 30. It was filled to capacity, without a seat to spare.

A variety of new ski/train packages now permit winter enthusiasts to board in Saratoga and enjoy an unhampered journey all the way to North Creek.

One day ski packages include round trip transportation, a ski pass, two complementary drinks and free shuttle service to the mountain. All of this is available for less than the cost of a single day’s lift ticket. The packages are a true bargain, for singles or families, and complete packages are also available which include transportation, meals, lodging, rentals, lessons and lift tickets.

Congratulations to North Creek, for repeatedly refusing to give up despite the trying times. This little community in the shadow of the big mountains has consistently proven it can stage a comeback, and many, loyal visitors are happy they did! Their success should provide encouragement to other small towns, and offer solid evidence that where there is the will, there’s always a way!

Unfortunately, it often seems that whenever there is a slight chance that an appropriate industry or project has the potential to provide a bit of economic vitality to the region; there immediately appears to be an advocacy group, with the threat of a lawsuit to shut the opportunity down.

Although I understand, and respect the need to protect against unscrupulous developers, and to fend off the advancement of inappropriate industry, I also wonder what the future will hold.

90-year-old from page 1 dance in the baggage car.

She'd already been skiing for nine years at that point, and had, in fact, skied an ar ea near what's now the Ski Bowl in North Creek, on a rope tow hill owned by Carl Schaefer, before climbing aboard the train.

In the intervening years, Anderson pioneer ed ski schooling in the Adirondack r egion, and launched the Schenectady Ski School, based in Niskayuna, in the late 1960s. T oday, the school employs 59 instr uctors, 60 counting Andersen, at Maple Ski Ridge, in Rotterdam.

She’s watched the pr ogress of time in changing ski and clothing styles, and evolving equipment, but, perhaps uniquely, in the faces of her students.Anderson has trained multiple generations in some families.

So, was her latest ski-train trip poignant?

“The thing that delighted me was that the weather was beautiful,” she said. “I sat on the river side of the train, of course. It's just a lovely passage.”

The trip spurred pleasant memories, Anderson said, memories she had no urge to share.

It wasn't as exciting as her first trip, but then “ther e weren't as many young people on board,” she said.

“I had a wonderful day up at Gor e,” she said. “I feel as good as — or better — on my skis as I ever have. I can

I’ll have a little something for Brian for his efforts, although what could be better than a whole year of bragging rights?

Did I mention that The New York Football Giants are NFC East Champions? Good thing Buckshot turned the channel from the T iddlywink tourney in time to see Big Blue put a hurtin’ on the now-packing Cowgirls! There sure is a tough road ahead for the Jints, but now that they’re in the tournament, anything can happen, and I think they’ve got a good chance of another surprise r un to the Super Bowl, wher e they’ll get some long-awaited r evenge for the 2000 Super Bowl loss to the Ravens.

That’s right, I’m calling it right here – Giants 34, Baltimore 7 in Super Bowl XLVI. Once again, congratulations to Brian Fr eebern, thanks to everyone for participating, and I hope to see you all again next year!

GO BIG BLUE!!!

When there are no opportunities, there will be no workers; and where there are no workers, there will be no communities. I do not favor turning a blind eye to incursions on the Forest Preserve, but an appropriate wink and a nod, may be in order on occasion.

Such was the case when I first learned that Iowa Pacific Holdings, the outfit responsible for restoring the Gore Ski Train, was also interested in revitalizing a 30-mile section of track that connects North Creek to Tahawus.

Inexpensive ski passes won’t be so popular, when the price of gas tops $10 a gallon. Neither will traditional tourist activities as hiking, biking or paddle sports, without reasonable transportation costs.

Although Iowa Pacific’s rail restoration efforts center primarily on the transport of tailings from the National Lead Mines in Tahawus, and the Barton Mines in North River, the company has reportedly petitioned the Surface Transportation Board for a permit to operate as a federally regulated common carrier on the same rail line between Tahawus and North Creek.

This 30-mile section of rails, which spans from the Tahawus Mines to North Creek, was built in 1940, prior to World War II. At the time, federal wartime exemptions trumped New York’s Article 14, the Forest Preserve Act, and trees were removed from the Forest Preserve in order to provide strategic materials for the war effort, and to save the country.

Currently, the materials are hauled out of the area in trucks, which travel over the winding mountain roads.

The resulting wear and tear on the highway infrastructure, and the expense of trucking the materials, limits the potential for profit.

With ‘Common Carrier ’ designation, Iowa Pacific’s trains would be permitted to haul more than just raw materials. The trains could also provide scenic rail excursions, in addition to transporting hikers, bikers, birders and paddlers to one of the most remote sections of the Adirondacks.

Despite the fact that trains can transport both materials and people, more effectively and efficiently, and with far less environmental impact than individual vehicles, advocacy groups have already announced opposition to Iowa Pacific’s petition. Such actions prove once again, that no good deed goes unpunished.

keep up with anyone in terms of style.”

If Anderson has a Zen relationship with the past, she eschews emotion for practicality when asked about the future. There were 38 passengers Dec. 30, accor ding to 22-year-old train conductor Mark Ellsworth, compar ed to hundreds on the 1934 debut.

Does she see the new ski train returning yet again after its scheduled season ends in March?

“Life has changed so much since 1934,” she said. “People aren't going to take the snow train to ski. If nothing else, it's faster to just drive.”

Instead, people will mor e likely take the train today simply for the experience — to just enjoy the moment and the experience of an unworried present.

Perhaps that explains Anderson’s special gr eeting at North Creek. It's the winter of 2011-2012, and the U.S. is still struggling to recover from the Great Recession. Out of a train, of all things, came the undeniable evidence of improbable success — a 90-year -old ski instructor who shows no sign of, or even concern about, slowing.

Maybe Anderson's a metaphor for the r egion's prospects.

At right, Frederica “Freddie” Anderson, 90, disembarks the first ski train to return to North Creek in decades. Anderson is a Schenectady-are sk i instruc tor who r ode the v ery first sk i train to Nor th Creek in 1934.
