Local Civil War photographer remembered jgrybos@denpubs.com WEVERTOWN — Every time you look at a five dollar bill there’s a little bit of Johnsburg in its history. The iconic portrait of Pr esident Abraham Lincoln was taken by famed Civil War photographer Mathew Brady , who it turns out

came fr om W evertown near The Glen. Brady is honored with a new sign at the Wevertown Community Center, dedicated Nov. 10 in a ceremony hosted by t he J ohnsburg Hi storical Society. “If you look at an image of Lincoln from history class, 99 percent of the time it’s a Brady,” said Jessica Rubin, an educator for the Adirondack Mu-

HOMETOWN OIL Automotive Service, Inc.

Brady’s most famous for his Civil War photography, though much of that was also taken by camera operators who worked with him. Brady thought the war should be carefully documented, but after it ended most Americans wanted it to fade into the past. He couldn’t find a market for his images. CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

INDIAN LAKE — The town's budget came in well under the tax cap, with a levy increase of 1.3 percent. Pam Howar d, the senior town clerk, cautioned the town boar d against staying too far under the tax cap. “If you cut too close right now, the next boar d will need to go up 6 or 7 percent. That's not fair to them,” she said. Town Supervisor Barry Hutchins agreed. “The budgets that we'r e passing are not sustainable,” said Hutchins. “We're down to the bone.” The town-wide tax rate will incr ease by slightly more than 1 per cent per thousand. One point of dif ficulty was dealing with the increasing cost of health insurance for town employees. Accommodating the same level of health insurance for town employees may not be a possibility in future budgets, said Hutchins. “This is a very minimal change. I'm not sur e how much longer we'll be able to do that,” he said. The town's ski hill was the subject of much discussion, though the funding set aside for its operation was left alone for this budget cycle.
