Johnsburg town justice retires early

Town Board to find replacement, hire assessor soon

JCS invites district parents to Tech Night

andy@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — The town of Johnsburg justice is retiring at the end of November, more than three years before his term ends, leaving the Town Board to find a replacement.

In the meantime, the Town Board has been conducting interviews to hire a new assessor to replace Ann Deppe, who is retiring from her position.

Justice James French notified Town Supervisor Ron Vanselow of his intention to retire in a letter dated Nov. 2. It was read aloud at the Nov. 8 board meeting.

“I will as of November 30, 2012 or sooner, and after 22 years of continuous service for the Town of Johnsburg, turn my total focus towards my family and myself,” French wrote.

In order to help the town with its judiciary transition, French attached a copy of a 2001 order from Fourth Judicial Court Judge Jan Plumadore establishing a partnership between the court systems in the towns of Johnsburg and Chester.

The order created an agreement for reciprocal justice coverage, allowing the justices of each town to hear cases in the other town. In essence, the justices would temporarily become substitutes for each other.

Gore Mountain ski center to open Friday

By Andy Flynn andy@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — The Gore Mountain ski center is expected to open for the 2012-13 season Friday, Nov. 23, according to General Manager Mike Pratt.

Workers began making snow Nov. 5, and despite a warm spell a week later, the temperatures have been ideal at night over the past two weeks to make enough snow for opening day.

Gore’s sister ski center — Whiteface

Mountain in Wilmington — also began making snow the night of Nov. 5 and opened for the season on Saturday, Nov. 17. Both facilities are operated by the Olympic Regional Development Authority, based in Lake Placid.

Gore spokesperson Emily Stanton said there will be two routes available from Bear Mountain on opening day.

This past summer was spent adding five sets of hydrants with tower guns to the green-circle “Sunway” trail, as well as putting additional tower guns on the mid-mountain Saddle Area, “2B”, “Showcase,” and “Pine Knot.”

Three new grooming tractors for 2012/2013 include a winch for grooming steep terrain, a free groomer, and a multi-season tractor that will mow trails in summer and maintain tubing lanes in winter.

Gore has built four small crossover trails on the lower mountain. When three of them are used together, they can bring a skier efficiently from "Echo" on Burnt Ridge Mountain to the loading area of the Northwoods Gondola. When used separately, they improve CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

andy@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — Saratoga & North Creek Railway officials recently announced their schedule for the 2013 Snow Train, offering more trips than the previous season but cutting the amount of stay time in North Creek for skiers.

While some business owners have grumbled over the changes — saying the new schedule only serves allday skiers on Saturday rather than Friday, Saturday and Sunday as it did last year — SNCRR General Manager Steve Torrico said the changes were needed. At the Nov. 15 North Creek Business Alliance meeting, he defended the changes, calling them a “business decision.”

On Nov. 7, the railway announced

HOMETOWN OIL

Automotive Service, Inc.

its new schedule for the Snow Train.

“Our new schedule provides a variety of options for both skiers and sightseers alike,” Torrico said in a prepared release. “By running two trains on Saturdays, we are offering passengers the opportunity to either tackle the slopes early for a full day of skiing or enjoy a leisurely winter afternoon in the scenic Adirondacks.”

In its first year of operation, the

Snow Train operated on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from Dec. 30, 2011 to mid-March 2012. It left Saratoga Springs at 7 a.m., arriving in North Creek at 9:15 a.m., then left North Creek around 4 p.m., arriving in Saratoga Springs at 6:20 p.m. That gave passengers three full days of skiing, with a stay time of almost 7 hours in North Creek.

NORTH CREEK — Johnsburg Central School Principal Nadeen Kearney is inviting parents of local students to attend a special event to learn about the computer programs their children are using.

Parent Technology Night is scheduled for 6-7:30 p.m.

Thursday, Nov. 29 in the elementary and high school computer labs.

“I think it’s really important with all the technology out there,” Kearney said. “It really helps in communication with the teachers.”

Parents will experience hands-on web-based programs such as the district’s Parent Portal Schooltool, elementary enVision math, seventh- and eighth-grade Digit math and the high school’s Blackboard Learn Program. They are expected to walk away with valuable tools and resources to help their children succeed in these programs.

“This is a chance for parents to learn how to log onto and maneuver into your child’s academic programs,” states the Parent Technology Night brochure. “You will learn how to help your child look up their homework, grades, schedules and how to access resources to help your child succeed. Our teachers will be showing and

guiding you on a computer in our labs.”

Kearney realizes there are households without computers; however, this workshop will also help those parents who don’t own the technology at home.

“If they don’t, we have worksheets,” Kearney said.

“We’re kind of in the transition stage right now.”

Yet some families use the computers at school and at the Town of Johnsburg Library.

“If they really want to access it, they can find places,” Kearney said.

Parents can attend the Parent Technology Night with or without their children, although it may be helpful to go through the process with them, Kearney said, adding that the students may be more than willing to educate their parents about the technology.

The following is information about Parent Technology Night from the brochure.

Elementary school lab

In the elementary school computer lab, Mrs. Morris and Mr. Brown will be presenting the “Elementary enVision Math Program” from 6 to 6:45p.m. enVision math basics: •Child support: You will feel comfortable to support your child to make sense of mathematics and learn that they can be mathematical thinkers.

•Standards/expectations: With the implementation of the Common Core standards, expectations have changed and learning and understanding math is different from what it has been.

Most adults have learned math my memorization of a specific set of principles or

rules to solving problems.

However, these methods do little to assist students in developing a deeper understanding of the mathematical content or the flexibility to apply these math skills in the real world.

•Navigation and visualizing: Using the elementary computer lab for assistance, parents will be able to become familiar with the site and its opportunities/options.

•How and why: Familiarity of the enVision math program your child is using and how to access the useful and meaningful parental resources to support your child’s success in mathematics.

•Knowledge is power: Having the basic knowledge and understanding of what is taking place in your child’s school environment (mathematics program) will allow you to aid, support and guide when appropriate.

High school lab

In the high school computer lab, Ms. Kearney and Mr. Bohmer will be presenting the “Parent Portal Schooltool” and Ms. Totzke and Mr. Wilson will be pre-

senting the “Middle/High School Blackboard Learn Program” from 6:45 to 7:30 p.m.

Schooltool basics: •View your child’s permanent record information •View classes, grades, schedules and keep an eye on their attendance.

Blackboard Learn basics: •See your child’s classes •Look up detailed assignments for your child who might have been absent for a day •Download textbooks/link to websites for class discussions •Look on discussion boards to talk with your child about literature and novel studies •Copy worksheets from home •Print out vocabulary words to help your child study •Student/parent/teacher communication regarding marking periods, assessments, projects, and field trips For more information, visit the JCS website, click in the District Calendar and open Nov. 29, the Parent Technology Night Brochure.

Suicide: There is always someone willing to listen Let’s count our many blessings

T

he holidays can be a heartwarming time of year, when family members come together to make lasting memories.

It can also be a very lonely and depressing time for some — a time that can push the deeply depressed to the brink.

The North Country witnessed just such a situation last week when a 73-year-old Keene Valley woman was the apparent victim of a suicide at Ausable Chasm.

While we cannot begin to pretend to understand what drove this woman to her ultimate decision, one thing is for certain — suicide and the events that lead up to it are almost always a cry for help, and there are people in place willing to offer that help to those who are willing to accept it.

Suicide prevention professionals throughout the region want people to know that they are available around the clock to offer a sympathetic ear — and they want to get the word out that treatment does work.

“The most important message here is that help is available and it works,” said Mary Anne Cox, a licensed clinical social worker with the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Champlain Valley (NAMI:CV), which serves Clinton, Essex and Franklin Counties.

“Whether people are suffering from depression or are having thoughts of suicide, therapy is available and it works,” she said.

Last Saturday, Nov. 17, was International Survivors of Suicide Day. Cox said NAMI offers a free suicide survivors grief support group in Plattsburgh the second Wednesday of each month beginning at 7 p.m. She also provides free one-on-one grief counseling. People can find out more by calling Cox at 563-1141 or NAMI at 561-2685.

Suicide is a growing problem, both locally and nationally.

According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the rate of suicide has been on the rise since 2010. It now ranks in the top 10 as the leading cause of death in the United States and accounts for more than 12 deaths per 100,000 people each year. That is the highest rate of suicide in 15 years.

While suicide rates do trend up slightly during the holiday season, rates are even higher in the early fall and spring when people have even less of a safety net surrounding them, Cox said.

“Often, after the holidays as families depart, heading into spring, people become even more

isolated and thus more depressed,” Cox said. “These are the times that they need to know that they are not alone. That we are there for them.”

A study recently conducted by researchers from Hamilton College in Clinton, New York concluded that New York ranked lowest in suicide rates among all 50 states in the US. In contrast, however, New York ranked 45th out of 50 in “well-being” a calculation attached to how happy its residents are.

Which means that while New Yorkers are the least apt to commit suicide, the state ranks 45th out of 50 in how happy its residents are.

And, while suicide rates are lower in more urban areas like New York City, those rates rise in more isolated regions where there are less people to turn to for help, Cox said.

“The prevalence of suicide in rural areas, like upstate New York is definitely higher,” she said. “Guns are more prevalent, people are more isolated from one another and help is harder to find.”

Cox said there is always someone willing to listen, from a neighbor to a primary care provider. Here are some numbers to call for help: Clinton County Clinton County Mental Health, 565-4060 Suicide hot line number is (866) 577-3836 Essex County Essex County Mental Health Clinic Crisis Services (518) 873-3670 after hours: (888) 8543773 Mental Health Association of Essex County Hopeline (800) 440-8074 Franklin County North Star Behavioral Health Services Saranac Lake region: (518) 891-5535 Malone region: (518) 483-3261 Hamilton County Hamilton County Community Services Crisis Line - (800) 533-8443 St. Mary's Mental Health Hotline - (518) 8429111 Warren County Crisis Line of the Crisis Department of Samaritan Hospital - (518) 274-4345 Samaritans Suicide Prevention Center - (518) 689-4673.

O

n behalf of everyone here at Denton Publications, let me wish you a happy Thanksgiving.

In these rapidly changing times, our culture is undergoing a massive transformation when it is easy to find so many things about which to complain. Look around, pick up a newspaper, turn on the radio or TV, or log onto the Internet and you’ll find tons of material from which you can sing the blues. Complaining seems to be our most popular pastime these days.

We can’t take lightly the challenging economic times we find ourselves in at this point in time. But this weekend, as much as any other time, we need to realize and reflect on all we have to be thankful for as we sit here in 2012. This country is still full of promise and opportunity.

Hopefully your Thanksgiving was highlighted by a wonderful meal in the company of friends and family. Some of you may have lost those dear to you since last year and while it may be painful without them, be thankful for the good times you enjoyed with them while they were here and treasure those previous Thanksgiving meals when you were all together.

Not too many years ago, if you were unable to connect in person with all your loved ones, as cross-country travel was very expensive, what a task it was just to make a phone call. We had stationary, hard wired, rotary phones with very expensive long distances charges. Many times the phone lines were so busy over a major holiday weekend that calls couldn’t get through. We didn’t have speed dial, answering machines or voicemail, so you might have to try many times. Today with our smart phones, computers, tablets and social media, we can send instant pictures and minute-by-minute details of events to distant family and friends. Plus, we can call them at will from almost anyplace or even Skype them in real time and carry on face-to-face conversations through the computer screen across the world.

Go back even further and think about the life-and-death dangers faced by the early settlers of our country. Today we complain about luggage fees and TSA lines while we wait to take a jet across the country that will have us to our final destination in just few hours. Our forefathers traveled in wooden boats or wagons facing un-

told dangers at every turn. Loved ones on either side of a trip may have never known the outcome of a visit Dan Alexander gone bad. Nor Thoughts from could they comBehind the Pressline municate any lifechanging events easily.

Complaining will always be a part of our lives regardless of what age we live in, but when put into the context of time, challenges and frustrations will be seen as hurdles to some and opportunities to others.

We can look back to the past and we look ahead into the future, but each of us was given only one lifetime to live and this is the time and place we find ourselves.

While some may long for the past and others can’t wait for the future, make sure to take full advantage of the present. The opportunities you have today with family and friends may be very different by next year. The regrets of yesterday can only be fulfilled today.

On this Thanksgiving, count your blessings and cherish those you’ve been able to share it with. Regardless of your situation, hope and opportunity are out there. You may have to open yourself up to find them, but a truly thankful heart can always see things more clearly. Let’s all hope the unrest, wars, pessimism and doubt concerning our future can be replaced with peace and optimism when we realize and give thanks for the many wonderful blessing we enjoy at this time and in this place. Let’s hope that as a society we take greater stock in what we have to be thankful for rather than fighting and stressing over the things we don’t or won’t have. Life is so short and regrets can build up over the years.

Don’t wait until it’s too late to appreciate our many blessings.

Let me also take this time to thank all of you who read this column and our publications. We are thankful for your support and the many emails and letters you’ve sent over the past year. We intend to work hard to continue earning your support.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Warren Co. budget OKed, but more layoffs might occur

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — Although Supervisors voted Friday Nov. 16 to approve Warren County’s 2013 budget which calls for eliminating 11 jobs, as many as 20 more positions may be in jeopardy if the county can’t get concessions in negotiations with its main employee union, county leaders said this week.

County Administrator Paul Dusek told county supervisors Nov. 16 that he’d prepared a “layoff report” that listed positions that could be cut without a favorable contract settlement with the Warren County chapter of the Civil Service Employees Association, which rejected the county’s contract proposal in October.

Dusek declined to identify the positions at risk, but he did say the county Public Health Department would be spared cuts because it

already had several vacant posts open due to a county-wide hiring freeze.

“We’re hoping we don’t need to employ this list,” Dusek said. “If we have to enact layoffs, services will have to be cut.”

Since October, negotiations have resumed with the CSEA, Dusek said, adding that he was encouraged with the progress. The county is seeking increased health insurance contributions from employees as well as downsized raises, county officials said.

Despite the jobs at risk, not one government employee or county citizen-at-large showed up at the public hearing on the budget, held just prior to Friday’s vote.

For years in Warren County, public hearings on budgets have prompted comments from the public, if not heated protests and demonstrations.

But Friday, the scene was far different.

County Budget Officer Kevin Geraghty was showered with praise from supervisors,

both Republicans and Democrats — even from Republican Supervisor-at-Large Mark Westcott of Queensbury, who sought further cuts.

Westcott said that with the county’s 2012 sales tax receipts flowing in $2.5 million over predictions, at least $400,000 of that sum could have been employed to keep the 2013 taxes at zero increase.

Westcott also called for the county airport’s budget to be slashed from $885,000, citing that the Saratoga County Airport — about the same size as Warren County’s — operates at about one-third the cost, or about $221,000 despite hosting more airplanes and more flights. He noted that for 2013, the Warren County Airport has been allocated $53,000 more in taxpayer money than it had been in 2012.

The $149.9 million spending plan, featuring a 1.99 percent increase in the county’s property tax levy, calls for reducing various

expenditures in the face of ever-rising pension and health-care costs. In addition to trimming the county workforce, the budget draws money from its savings, and downsizes plans to repair its roadways.

The workforce reductions include laying off five people while reducing several other jobs from full-time to part-time. The layoffs are to occur in the county’s Public Works, Social Services, and Youth Bureau departments. The budget calls for a $39.98 million tax levy — an increase of $779,797 over 2012, and it estimates that the county will reap $3.7 million in sales tax revenue in 2013.

Expenses driving budget increase include $1 million in employee health insurance expenses, $1.1 million in state retirement plan premiums for county employees, and $141,363 in overtime costs.

The tax increase represents an additional $17 per $100,000 in property assessment.

Geraghty expected to become Warren Co.’s new leader

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — With Queensbury Supervisor Dan Stec elected Nov. 6 to the state Assembly, he’ll be vacating his post of chairman of the Warren County Board of Supervisors, and Warrensburg Supervisor Kevin Geraghty is expected to move into this high-profile role as the county’s top political leader.

Geraghty now serves as the county Budget Officer, and for decades, it has been traditional for the supervisor serving in that post to be drafted as chairman when the chairmanship is vacant.

Geraghty has served as county budget officer for six years, a tenure that required him to draft spending plans during the economic collapse and its aftermath of widespread financial distress among municipalities.

This meant Geraghty had to craft budgets during a time that county government revenues dwindled, yet demand for services spiraled.

He also had to keep Warren County solvent despite a depleted fund balance — a dilemma he inherited.

During his tenure as county Budget Officer, the county’s financial reserves have been bolstered dramatically.

Last March, Geraghty declared

he was seeking the post of county Board of Supervisors Chairman, and since then, no other candidates have emerged.

But Geraghty remained cautious this week about whether he’d have any competition for the position.

“Although I don’t expect to be challenged, nothing’s a given,” he said. “It’s a decision of the full board, and I hope my colleagues would think I earned their trust.”

Apparently, he has.

In recent weeks, Geraghty’s expertise in budgeting and his knowledge of the county’s vast operations have prompted praise from other county supervisors.

Geraghty has been credited for slashing county expenses and downsizing the size of government in response to the U.S. economy’s problems.

But Geraghty deferred credit to the other board members for a series of budgets that have featured the lowest series of tax increases in perhaps a half-century.

“We’ve had big fiscal challenges, particularly in 2009, and we’ve recovered pretty well,” he said.

“However, it took 20 members of the board to make the decisions to put the county on the right track.”

If Geraghty indeed attains the post in January as many expect, it which would be the first time in a half-century the town of Warrensburg had such political clout.

Warrensburg Supervisor Kevin Geraghty, now serving as Warren County Budget Officer, is expected to move into the post of county Board of Supervisors Chairman — as the county’s top political leader, Dan Stec ascends to the state Assembly.

The selection of board chairman is a choice made in a caucus of the supervisors representing the majority political party, and in recent history, that’s been the Republicans. The caucus is traditionally held in December.

Geraghty said this week that if chosen to lead the county, he would carry forward his fiscally conservative approach.

“We continue to face financial challenges, and the issues are complicated,” he said. “Warren Coun-

ty supervisors, like others across the state, will have to have to deal with the changing role of county governments.”

If Geraghty moves into the county chairmanship as expected, Stony Creek Supervisor Frank Thomas, a Republican who’s been in office nine years, is expected to take on the county Budget Officer post.

With Stec’s ascension into the state Assembly, his post as Queensbury town supervisor will be up for an appointment by the town

board, as Stec has one year left on his latest term.

Expressing interest in the position of Queensbury’s political leader have been town G.O.P. Chairman and former county Supervisor-at-Large William Van Ness, town board member and deputy town supervisor Ron Montesi, and county supervisor-atlarge Mark Westcott, who also serves as an aide to U.S. Rep. Chris Gibson.

Minerva Historical Society announces contest winners

MINERVA — The Minerva Historical Society Museum Annual Contest Award Ceremony for Minerva Central School Grades K-5 was held in the evening at the Museum on Nov. 1.

The Museum was decorated with a Halloween theme and every entry was on display. Students, parents, teachers and Historical Society members attended. Contest winners received certificates and monetary prizes. The results were received with enthusiasm and refreshments were served.

Every year, the MCS students in grades K-5 visit the Museum to look over the display. They are asked to select their favorite item and to draw a picture or write an essay on that item. The entries are wonderful and contest judges love to see the display through the eyes of the children.

This year ’s display theme was “25 Years of Minerva Day” featuring one or two items from each display in the past 25 years and it should be noted that the children selected some of the same items that had intrigued previous contest winners.

Martha and Jerry Galusha’s crystal collection arrayed on a polished lilac branch was a favorite along with Vernon Lavery’s World War II uniform, mascot "Minerva Olmsted" and Patty Hewitt’s dollhouse.

After much deliberation the judges announced the following contest winners: Kindergarten: 1st place-James Fish; 2nd place-Caitlin Wamsley; 3rd place-Alex Mather.

First grade: 1st place-Keith Eannarino; 2nd place-Nate McNally; 3rd place-Shelby Tuller. Second grade: 1st placeGrace Savarie; 2nd place-Brooke Olden; 3rd place Megan Mohowski.

Harvest successful at Long Lake school garden

Adirondack Singers holiday concert in Long Lake Dec. 7 LONG LAKE — The Adirondack Singers from Saranac Lake, with conductor Karen Butters, will present a concert at the United Methodist Church in Long Lake on Friday, Dec. 7 at 7:30 pm.

The group, with over 40 voices, will present a concert of holiday music and seasonal favorites, both sacred and secular.

The Adirondack Singers have been in existence since 1968. Their aims are to stimulate and promote an interest in choral music, to provide a variety of fine choral music to the general public of the area, and to provide a venue for soloist or small groups to perform in their own style. They give regular concerts in Saranac and Tupper Lakes, and this year the Long Lake Friends of Music, sponsors of this concert, are pleased that they will be traveling to Long Lake.

Their musical director is Karen Butters, from Blue Mountain Lake. She recently retired from a 30 year career teaching music in all areas and levels. She has studied choral conducting with George Bragg, founder of the Texas Boys’ Choir and has been coached in conducting by Janet Funderburke-Galvan (Ithaca College), and John Dickson (Texas Tech). She has performed with the Saratoga Choral Festival and is a member of the Chrysalis Singers of the High Peaks Hospice.

A reception to meet the artists will follow the concert. This concert is part of a series presented by the Long Lake Friends of Music and partially funded by public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Regrant Program. In Hamilton County, the Decentralization Program is administered by the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts, located in Blue Mountain Lake. The Town of Long Lake is also partially underwriting this concert, which is free to the public.

Donations will help to further fund the concert series.

Snow Train from page 1 There was only one problem; about 50 percent of the 1,400 passengers in 2012 were non-skiers, Torrico said Nov. 15. He witnessed many people just sitting around the train station all day waiting to return to Saratoga Springs.

So in order to serve the non-skiers, the railway shortened the Friday and Sunday schedules and created an extra departure on Saturday for this season, which will start on Friday, Jan. 11.

On Friday and Sunday, the Snow Train will leave Saratoga Springs at 10 a.m., arriving in North Creek at 12:17 p.m., and leave North Creek at 3:45 a.m., arriving in Saratoga at 5:57 p.m. That gives passengers about 3 hours and 30 minutes in North Creek.

On Saturday — with two round-trips — the Snow Train will leave Saratoga Springs at 7 and 10 a.m., arriving in North Creek at 9:17 a.m. and 12:17 p.m. The train then leaves North Creek at 1 and 5 p.m., arriving in Saratoga at 3:15 and 7:15 p.m. That gives passengers a variety of stay times: 45 minutes, 3 hours and 45 minutes, 4 hours and 45 minutes, 7 hours and 45 minutes in North Creek.

Torrico explained to the North Creek Business Alliance that the later departure time in Saratoga was needed because many families in the Capital Region are simply not getting

LONG LAKE — With a total of 30 pounds of food harvested from the Long Lake Central School Corner Garden in the 2012 growing season, 20 pounds were donated to the local Long Lake food pantry and the remaining hearty 10 pounds were consumed by students.

In its eighth year running, Becky Pelton, the committee’s co-chair, reports, “It’s been vitally important to have a dedicated group of parent and community volunteers to help with the Corner Garden.”

Pelton notes that a mix of Long Lake community members, as well as LLCS students, staff, and faculty work hard to improve the garden each year. Pelton also notes that Long Lake resident Chris Thompson and his son Caleb, along with LLCS Technology Teacher Duane Finch, were essential to the building of a low tunnel system that allowed the garden’s growing season to extend beyond the summer months into the school year. The low tunnel will help the committee to get an earlier start in the spring and grow further into the school year in the fall.

With a federal push for healthier plates for public school children, the LLCS garden has been of particular use to the cafeteria staff.

LLCS elementary students helped to harvest vegetables that were offered at the school’s salad bar. The garden cultivates a variety of hearty vegetables, including beans, cherry tomatoes, yellow squash, zucchini, spinach, cucumber, peas, and pumpkins, as well as basil and cilantro. Additionally, there is a compost bin available for members of the LLCS community to put compostable waste.

The committee has built established a three bin composting system allowing them to compost year-round.

The garden has not only offered nourish-

up to leave at 7 a.m., unless they want to ski all day.

“To solve that, we needed a second train,” Torrico said.

“Now we can accommodate both groups of people.”

Torrico also announced Nov. 15 that the railway will be running from Saratoga to North Creek on weekends in March, April and May. Iowa Pacific has invested millions of dollars in the railroad and the community of North Creek — including the $1.5 million purchase of the Sanford Lake Branch for freight service to Tahawus — and the extended spring service is another way the railway is showing its commitment to the region, Torrico said.

With the Snow Train, there will still be shuttle service to Gore Mountain every Friday, Saturday and Sunday through mid-March.

The round-trip from Saratoga Springs to North Creek includes conveniences not typically found in today’s rail service, such as complete ski and snowboard equipment handling and storage from Saratoga Springs to the base of Gore Mountain; tableside breakfast and dinner menus with wine offerings and bar service; and picturesque views of the North Country aboard vintage midcentury dome cars.

Skiers can check their equipment before climbing on board for the two-hour ride through the heart of the Adirondacks, and transfer from the North Creek Depot to the direct shuttle service to Gore Mountain, where they will find their ski equipment waiting for them.

For non-skiers, the Snow Train welcomes passengers to

visit downtown North Creek where a variety of antique shops, country stores, bed and breakfasts and restaurants line Main Street and offer visitors an array of historic, artistic and cultural attractions.

Shuttle transportation is provided to Gore Mountain by the Snow Train on all arrivals and departures. On Saturdays, the 10 a.m. departure from Saratoga Springs and 1 p.m. departure from North Creek will not offer dome cars or full meal service. A snack bar will be available for passengers.

The Snow Train offers a choice of either vintage coach car or dome car seating. The coach cars are roomy and comfortable, ideal for family traveling, while the dome cars offer uninterrupted views of the winter landscape through large dome windows that wrap overhead.

Round-trip adult tickets are $30 for coach cars and $55 for dome seating. Round-trip child tickets are $20 for coach cars and $40 for dome seating. For those headed to the slopes, the Snow Train will offer ski packages which include round-trip train transportation and a lift ticket to Gore Mountain.

For younger ski fans, the Snow Train is offering a 2013 “Haul Pass,” which includes five round-trip rides on the snow train in coach seating for $99 – a 66 percent discount.

Lift ticket must be purchased separately.

ment, but is also used as a science lab and application field for technology and welding classes offered at the school. Pelton reports that third grade students spent science class time in the garden thinning carrots, planting garlic, while junior welding student Shaneka Burch improved the garden beds by building a broadfork, a tool used to loosen and till soil. Burch, with the guidance of Finch, built the broadfork based off of a design made my Chris Thompson.

In addition, to vegetables, the garden also grows flowers, including marigolds, cosmos, nasturtiums and a variety of sunflowers. The LLCS faculty and staff use the locally grown flowers at various school-wide events, including its annual Open House, Community Connections Night, and Thanksgiving Feast. Pelton, along with students, work with the school’s art teacher, Michele Gannon, to create centerpieces at events when the garden is in bloom. Gannon has also used materials from the garden for still life drawing assignments in her K-12 classes.

Pelton notes that each year the garden’s offerings grow, and the school community finds new uses for its diverse materials. The committee is currently working on building a new shed to store tools. The project came to life with a grant supplied by the Cornell Cooperative Extension in the spring of 2012.

There is also an indoor plant project underway headed by the school’s Health and Wellness Committee. The group’s goal is to have more plants placed throughout the LLCS building.

The students, staff, and faculty have already seen this put into action, with two landing areas between its second and third floors filled with green life.

The town of Chester justice is currently James McDermott.

After further investigation, however, Vanselow found that Plumadore’s order for a reciprocal agreement will not work in this instance, since it was meant for a case-bycase basis, not for long-term coverage.

“That document is purely for individual recusals,” Vanselow said.

That leaves town officials to find coverage for the court system, and find it soon.

“We’re exploring what our potions are right now,” Vanselow said.

The town can either appoint a replacement, or another judge can be assigned to her cases for the town of Johnsburg.

“If we appoint someone, we probably

have to do it pretty quickly,” Vanselow said.

Classes for new judges start Nov. 26, and anyone who is not an attorney needs to take those classes in order to become a town justice.

French — who was first elected town justice on the Republican ticket in 1989 — was re-elected in 2011, when he ran unopposed.

An appointed justice would serve until the end of 2013, and that position will be on the ballot next November.

Town assessor

Meanwhile, town officials have been interviewing people to fill the assessor ’s position, and Vanselow said he expects the Town Board to fill that position by the end of the year. To help with the transition, Deppe has agreed to stay on part time for six months to help get her replacement with training and certification.
