Gearing up for the Fourth! Events abound
Revolution Rail Rail-bikes to begin excursions soon Seeking new employees for railriding operations By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
NORTH CREEK Ñ Rail-bike excursions on the railroad tracks north of North Creek will be available to the public soon, according to Justin Gonyo of the Saratoga-North Creek Railway. Gonyo told Warren County supervisors at a recent Warren County Public Works meeting that his firm had signed a contract with Revolution Rail Co., known last year as Renegade Railriders. He said that Revolution Rail would
be operating rail-bike excursions on the railway in several weeks. Ò Everything is good to go,Ó Gonyo said. As of June 19, Revolution Rail was seeking new employees for their rail-riding operation through a classified advertisement posted in the hospitality jobs section of Albany Craigslist. The ad seeks people to lead rail excursions, check in customers and promote branded merchandise. Both full-time and part-time seasonal jobs are available, ranging from $12 to $15 per hour depending on experience, according to the ad, which cites a North Creek address. Contacted this week, Revolution Rail
Co. principal Robert Harte said he preferred to wait several days before detailing his companyÕ s plans, but that his operation would likely be underway by mid-July. Last year, Harte said that his operation would feature up to 15 pedal-powered recumbent four-wheeled vehicles riding on the rails, with two riders on a tandem model and four riders on their quad version. Harte had predicted that the rail-bike excursions would bring 11,000 people into the area, boosting tourism as well as creating 14 jobs. A similar operation named Rail Explorers Ñ based in Saranac Lake Ñ operated for several years along the Adiron-
dack Scenic Railroad. It ran at capacity, but was discontinued this year in the wake of the pending state initiative to tear up the rails between Saranac Lake and Lake Placid to create a scenic pedestrian/bicycling trail. Revolution Rail, under its former name, had announced plans last year to operate bike-rail excursions from Stony Creek to Thurman, but those plans apparently arenÕ t a reality, at least for 2017. Gonyo has said that the rail-bike excursion operation, one of very few in the nation, would boost the economy of North Creek, stimulating foot traffic and boosting local businesses. >> See RAILS | pg. 5

Minerva Central School said goodbye to eight students as part of their Class of 2017 graduation ceremonies on June 23. Valedictorian Meghan Kelly and Salutatorian Drew Deschetsky delivered speeches and Middle/High School English Teacher Robert Kicker acted as the ceremony’s guest Photo by Mike Corey speaker. Superintendent Tim Farrell concluded the ceremony, bidding farewell to the class.
NORTH CREEK Ñ Thirty students took their final walk through the gymnasium at Johnsburg Central School June 24, marking their coming of age as the Class of 2017. Ò Do not let anyone every get in the way of your dreams,Ó class salutatorian Kersten Mason told her fellow graduates. Mason said she got her inspiration through a scene on the reality show, Ò AmericaÕ s Next top Model.Ó Ò I thought it was ironic for a reality television show judge to be a person to say something like that when 15 minutes later they are deciding who leaves the show,Ó she joked. Mason said everyone is judged at some point in their lives, but each person must go through those trials and times and reach for their dreams. >> See JOHNSBURG | pg. 5

North Warren graduates told to think of others Valedictorian told of lessons gained from passionate pet owner By Christopher South
chris@suncommunitynews.com
CHESTERTOWN Ñ Ryan Williamson, guest speaker at the 2017 graduation at North Warren High School, told the graduates while they are pursuing their own goals, they should also focus on other people. Williamson, the director of International Ministries Word of Life in Schroon Lake, told the 39 members of the class of 2017 this is a time when people think of themselves. Ò I just learned on Wednesday, it was National Selfie Day,Ó Williamson said. Williamson told the graduates their own community is one that quickly mobilizes in times of tragedy. Ò You shouldnÕ t take that for granted,Ó he said. He asked the graduates to consider having a vision for helping people. ItÕ s not an easy task, adding that, in a sense, it is easier to die for someone Ð but it is much harder to live for them. He told the graduates to invest their lives in the lives of others, saying,Ó Love is an action.Ó Emily Kilcullen, salutatorian, painted a picture of what life at North Warren High School had been, and
talked about the lessons she hoped they learned, including to tolerate and work with people; that hard work really does pay off, and itÕ s okay to make mistakes. KilcullenÕ s final lesson was Ò friendship,Ó saying, Ò Most of us have been together all our lives.Ó At the same time, she said while she was happy to have been at North Warren High School, she was Ò more than prepared to leave.Ó Ò We can take on anything,Ó she said. Valedictorian Hannah Kenney spoke about having passion by way of her pet rat. Kenney said her rat started out as her sisterÕ s class project that otherwise would have been euthanized.
She said she was in a pet store looking for some supplies when a woman she had never met asked her, Ò Do you have a rat?Ó As it turned out, the woman owned between 30 and 40 rats. What impressed Kenney about the woman was her passion for rats. Ò She was the most passionate person I have ever met,Ó she said. Kenney said life is shorter than most people think, and she encouraged her fellow graduates to not waste their time doing something they donÕ t like. Ò Be passionate about something,Ó she said. Valedictorian Hannah Kenney discussed passion in her remarks to the class of 2017. The 39 graduates also heard from Ryan Williamson from the Word of Like Bible Institute, who told the graduates to have a vision for helping people. Photo by Christopher South

Long Lake graduates duo from class of 2017 Meet the grads at the state’s second-smallest school district By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
LONG LAKE Ñ There was no confusion over who was val and sal at Long Lake Central Ñ Ethan Bush and Austin Pierce received their diplomas last Friday. Meet the class of 2017. How does it feel? Ò ItÕ s different,Ó said Pierce. Ò We probably know a lot more about each other than we want to.Ó Ò It has its days,Ó Bush said. The pair have known each other since they were 3, and quickly bonded over their love for trapping and trucks. Ò WeÕ ve had a good time over the past several years,Ó Pierce said. Ò WeÕ re going to miss each other, but itÕ s still exciting to go onto the next part.Ó The keynote speaker at the duoÕ s commencement was Christian Wissler, a FEH BOCES instructor for the Natural Resource Science Program at the Adirondack Education Center in Saranac Lake.

Ò We are staring into the next chapters of life,Ó Morris said. Ò Always believe in what your values are and remain loyal to those values.Ó Morris also spoke about his class and their bond thanks to the school they were able to attend as classmates. Ò We were able to form a bond and relationship that cannot be found in larger schools,Ó he said. Ò Each of us brought a lot to this class and everyoneÕ s idea was important as we made it through the
Wissler worked with Bush and Pierce every weekday morning for the past two years. Ò HeÕ s been a good companion for such a long time,Ó Pierce said, citing the chainsaw and bridge repair skills the pair learned from the instructor. Bush cited trips to Dewey Mountain in Saranac Lake
and said the pair earned an armful of certificates and college credits through the program. Ò It was diversified,Ó Bush said. Ò We did a lot of work.Ó Pierce said the graduation ceremony was brief and succinct Ñ just the way they wanted it. Pierce will go on to Colorado Mesa University, while Bush said he is undecided between college and heading to work immediately. HeÕ s already weighing several job offers, and is working this summer with a local excavation firm. As for his role as valedictorian, Bush said heÕ s trying to stay humble: Ò In the yearbook, I wrote my greatest accomplishment was being named valedictorian in a class of two,Ó he said. Next yearÕ s class graduating class, however, is projected to clock in at a hearty 9 graduates. Technically Long Lake isnÕ t the stateÕ s smallest school district. The honor belongs to neighboring Raquette Lake, which is inactive and tuitions its students out to Indian Lake.

Harte has said the excursions are family-friendly, and provide an activity for all ages, ability levels, and accommodate people with physical challenges. According to an article published in HeritageRail, rail-riding excursions are operating on two railroads in Oregon. The article also states that Rail Explorers gained approval early this year to begin operations on a portion of the Catskill Mountain Railroad and the Newport & Narragansett Railroad in Rhode Island. Their

Catskill operation has been delayed until 2018, but the Rhode Island enterprise is active, according to Rail ExplorersÕ website. In other business concerning the Saratoga-North Creek Railway, Gonyo told Warren County Supervisors on May 23 that his railway had one more modern locomotive on hand and was getting another one soon. Both, he said, are equipped with Ò positive train controlÓ equipment which is now required by federal railway authorities for passenger safety. The locomotives, new to the railway, reduce fuel consumption and provide power to the passenger cars,

The locomotives also have a video camera that operates while the train is in motion, so any collision Ñ if one occurs Ñ could be evaluated afterwards. By July 1, Gonyo added, the railway will also have delivered a new dome car, similar to the existing one, but painted orange, yellow and brown, he said. Ò It will be an eye-opener,Ó he said. The railway operates trains on Saturday and Sunday between Saratoga and North Creek.

KeepÊ openÊ mindÊ whenÊ studyingÊ schoolÊ mergers
W
e fanned out across the region last weekend to cover high school gradu-
ations. Reporting on graduations never fails to reinforce how proud we are of our kids and our small, rural school districts. WeÕ d like to see this legacy of accomplishment continue. Unfortunately, school districts across the region are at the center of several converging demographic trends. Student enrollment is declining. The number of public school students in the Adirondack Park decreased by a whopping 21 percent between 2003 and 2013. The loss amounts to an average of 422 less students per year, according to the 2014 Adirondack Park Regional Assessment Report. The population is aging. The number of residents younger than age 30 is projected to decline by an average of 14 percent each decade of the 21st century. By 2030, more than one-third of Adirondack Park residents will be over the age of 60. The Empire Center, a fiscallyconservative government watchdog, reported last week the counties with the oldest age profiles are all upstate. The list was topped by Hamilton County, where seniors make up nearly 29 percent of the population. Delaware, Columbia, Essex and Warren all have elderly populations of 21 percent or more (Clinton and Franklin fared slightly younger, with seniors constituting between 15 and 17 percent). As the demographics continue to shift, so do the character of our towns, which are fast becoming retirement communities for second homeowners. Meanwhile, state and conservation groups are continuing to buy and lock up developable land that would expand the tax base. The bright side is the past several years have been relatively smooth sailing when it comes to financing for public school districts. This yearÕ s state budget saw an increase in education funding, and the Gap Elimination Adjustment, the controversial state formula that put school districts on a fiscal diet, has been abolished. But despite the reprieve, the long-term financing of public education remains uncertain as the state faces projected budget shortfalls, and districts statewide are strategizing on how to remain sustainable. Strategies include sharing services, tuitioning out students, closing buildings Ñ and yes, even merging districts. ThatÕ s why we commend the Elizabethtown-Lewis and Westport Central Boards of Education for making the tough decision to jointly authorize a formal merger study. The year-long process will examine every operational and academic policy, and flip over every fiscal stone, before the districts determine if merging the districts is the best way to ensure their survival. The decision to examine the issue, both districts have said, is not a way to validate a preordained decision, but is rather just smart thinking in an era of uncertainty. We agree, and other districts should follow in their footsteps Ñ especially the districts in the central Adirondacks which are among the stateÕ s smallest and most spread out. ItÕ s not just school districts who are facing tough choices.
A new shared services initiative by the governor designed to further slash property taxes has counties scrambling to find savings before the state-mandated Aug. 1 deadline. The latest program simply formalizes long-running informal local efforts to find savings, including ongoing attempts in at least two counties to explore the feasibility of county-run EMS systems. To be clear: The state has not indicated they will force school district mergers, and itÕ s a decision that will undoubtedly outlive the current administration. But that may not always be the case. The state Department of State, according to the governorÕ s office, has spent $51 million since 2011 to study and implement shared services arrangements between local governments. ItÕ s obvious which way the wind is blowing. The state, however, is offering financial incentives to merge, including a temporary boost in operating aid over a 14-year period. ItÕ s far too early to predict how the merger study will shake out at ELCS and Westport Central. But we encourage residents to keep an open mind and follow the facts wherever they lead Ñ even if the result is an undesirable one. Enrollment at school districts throughout the Adirondack Park is declining. Photo provided/ 2014 Adirondack Park Regional Assessment Report

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Supervisor:Ê TiconderogaÊ waterÊ supplyÊ projectÊ onÊ track To the Editor: I want to assure the residents of Ticonderoga that the water supply project is on track with the wells and upgrades to the Baldwin Filter Plant. The Town is cooperating well with all agencies, our funding is in place and the project is proceeding as planned. With increased regulation in the 1990s and 2000s, the TownÕ s two water supplies, Gooseneck and Baldwin Filter Plant, were forced to conform to new water treatment standards. This factor, along with providing an adequate supply of drinking water at an affordable cost to the district uses became the constraints under which the Town has been working to find a viable solution. By 2009, Gooseneck water supply was required to meet water treatment standards through a covered storage over the Chilson Reservoir and then in 2014 needed to comply with ultra-violet disinfection. Failure to comply with these EPA requirements then resulted in the quarterly water notices that all users now receive. During this same period of 2009 through 2013, a few possible options to meet these three constraints were being studied. Obvious upgrades to either the Gooseneck or Baldwin Filter Plant sources were initially denied in their failure to meet all three requirements. Finally, a well was considered as the primary source. It succeeded in meeting the desired constraints and remains the same viable project today. Unfortunately, the Town did not make much forward progression with this project for another 18 months, as then newly-elected Supervisor Grinnell chose to reevaluate the prior failed options only to find the Town right back with the well source as the only feasible solution. Borne out of this obstinate, unnecessary exercise, the Department of Justice became involved, forcing the Town to meet compliance under their imposed timelines, or else be penalized. Since I took office in January 2016, the Town has moved the project through the funding, environmental and archeological review stages. Currently, the project is in the process of closing on short-term financing. The next phase includes submittal of final design plans and specifications, followed by construction in the first part of next year. This process has been complicated, not to mention contentious at times, especially through misguided information. However, it is imperative that our water treatment standards be brought into compliance at an affordable cost to everyone in our community. It is my commitment to each of you to see that the Town follows through with this project to its completion. I encourage anyone with questions to simply stop in, attend any of our meetings, or visit the TownÕ s Water & Sewer Department website at townofticonderoga. org/water-and-waste-water/ to learn more about this project. Joe Giordano Ticonderoga Town Supervisor
Traffic ticket leaves bad impression To the Editor: On May 28, my husband (age 89) and I (age 76), drove through your town. We are American citizens who are reside in Canada. I was pulled over by Officer Trombly, ostensibly for speeding. He seemed quite embarrassed and when I said, Ò I was slowing down.Ó He said: Ò I could see that.Ó But apparently there had been an earlier sign, as the speed transitions from 60 to 40 to 30. He said: Ò Well, IÕ ll see what I can do,Ó and then gave me a ticket for Ò disregarding a traffic device.Ó This was on a quiet Sunday morning with no traffic apparent. I just received the payment demand. It is for $218, with a fine of $125 and surcharge of $93. I feel gouged and preyed upon. I have no doubt Officer Trombly has a quota. I do
not blame him. He was very professional. But how unattractive and demeaning for someone who is professional to have to be doing that kind of work. I realize that your town is undoubtedly struggling and fortunately I can afford to pay this ticket, but it is an outrageous amount and would be positively punitive had I been poor. Is this really how Ellenburg wants to be known? We go through your town often as we go back and forth. Naturally this has given me a very negative impression. Before the interstate, this is the sort of predatory policing one experienced on the highways in Georgia and South Carolina. Kathleen Hunter, Canada
TheÊ ACAÊ needsÊ toÊ stay To the Editor: When Medicare was first conceived in the early 1960s, the public was deeply divided, and similar warnings were voiced. Embodying the conservative movementÕ s sentiments at the time was Ronald Reagan, who taped a recording on behalf of the American Medical Association warning that the program would, quite simply, lead to the destruction of freedom. Ò If Medicare passes into law, the consequences will be dire beyond imagining,Ó Reagan said. If opponents failed to scuttle it, he warned. Ò One of these days, you and I are going to spend our sunset years telling our children, and our childrenÕ s children, what it once was like in America when men were free.Ó Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater, in 1964, likened Medicare to free vacations and beer. Ò Having given our pensioners their medical care in kind,Ó he said, Ò why not food baskets, why not public housing accommodations, why not vacation resorts, why not a ration of cigarettes for those who smoke and of beer for those who drink?Ó Fact: Medicare has been the greatest program for all Americans, proposed by Democrat Aime J. Forand and passed during the Johnson (Democratic) administration, contrary to the Republican doomsday attitude. TodayÕ s Republicans are echoing the same fears about the ACA (Obamacare) because one, they dislike President Obama, and two, it is a Democratic plan. While they rail against it and have been saying they can do better for the past six years, they have yet to come up with any plan better than the ACA. In fact, to repeal and replace the ACA would cost over $600 billion! What Mitch McConnell and the Republicans have proposed is the worst plan yet: removing millions of citizens from the ACA and at the same time giving hundreds of millions of dollars in tax relief to millionaires. Do they really care about healthcare for Americans? Something is wrong with this picture. The ACA is not perfect and needs to be modified. But in the meantime, it serves millions of Americans well until a better plan comes along. Joe DeMarco Jay
BoltonÊ boatÊ rideÊ disturbedÊ byÊ rowdy ruffians To the Editor: First, I would like to compliment the Town of Bolton for the wonderful community boat ride and refreshments Ñ and thanks to the volunteers that served and cooked them. Secondly, the boat ride was perfect, up to the point when these ruffians discovered where I was sitting alone and quiet, enjoying the scenery. One of the mothers showed up. She got very distraught because I was doing her job, supervising her children. The profanity that came out of her mouth in public was appalling. No wonder the kids are like they are, when the mother canÕ t control herself Ñ how can she control her children? The boat ride is for the enjoyment of all, itÕ s not a playground. IÕ m sure I was not the other one being annoyed by these kids. Their mother said: Ò TheyÕ re just kids.Ó Ò Just kidsÓ need supervising, especially on a boat. Joan Peter Bolton Landing

Mayor of Plattsburgh,
From the Mayor

B
People divided
y the time you read this, perhaps the latest round of fighting over the American Health Care Act will be over Ñ for now. It appears that one of the most significant pieces of legislation in years will have passed or failed by a bare majority. ThatÕ s a problem. There is not a mayor in this country who does not see a pressing need for a solution to health care. I donÕ t know what will work for municipalities. I certainly see what doesnÕ t work. Before I get to the fundamental problem, please note that healthcare represents a huge part of municipal budgets and property tax allotments. In the City of Plattsburgh, health care costs are equivalent to more than 60 percent of the property taxes we raise. This year alone, our health care costs are trending to rise by 10 percent. I expect equally unfathomable increases in future years too. Health care, as important as it is, is unsustainable. So, how do we solve these looming dilemmas of health care, of municipalities on the financial ropes, of the reality of stagnant or declining populations, and of public infrastructure that is becoming aged and prone to failure? Apparently, we donÕ t. Our people have become so divided into each of our special interests that nobody seems able to represent the one group always left behind. Who is representing the next generation? At the risk of appearing too much as a Don Quixote haplessly tilting at windmills, in my mind there is a hierarchy of whatÕ s important. For instance, as a mayor of a city in our region, my main concern is always to leave my city as sustainable, financially viable and affordable as we can possibly be so we do not mortgage our childrenÕ s future nor discourage them from someday living here. It is simply too difficult for rural areas and small urban places to successfully reverse the allure and economic vitality of major urban areas. If we lose the battle for financial sustainability, we ultimately lose every war. If we all agreed to keep sustainability in mind as something we all share, perhaps we will realize that our circles actually intersect after all. But, when we instead focus on protecting our individual pieces of the pie, our pie is just eaten away. This exasperating dynamic is killing our nation and damaging our municipalities. There is not a city or town I know that is not facing incredible financial challenges. Perhaps our cities are struggling a bit more as theyÕ re often older, and saddled with more ancient infrastructure and more intransigent interests. What I observe time and again is somebody recommends something to help patch our broken boat. Of course, since there are simply no magic fixes, each recommendation hurts somebody. Ten such recommendations moves 10 pieces of cheese, and nobody likes their cheese moved. Then, the battle begins. Group A says that it cannot fathom any change, as does group B through J. If I ask for suggestions, I usually get none, or none that really solve the problem. If someone offers a solution, itÕ s typically one on the backs of one of the other groups rather than their own. These various proposals then go to a board to make the final decisions. These groups very quickly develop an affinity toward one group or another, so suggestion after suggestion come off the table. In the end, weÕ re further divided, further behind, wasted more time, and look further foolish in the eyes of grandparents who are struggling to survive but who still harbor hopes that their grandchildren will come home to live. Most of us are not intimately involved in these pitched battles between various interests. We watch these efforts take off, pitch up, stall, and then crash and burn. I canÕ t blame taxpayers for throwing up their hands in disgust. WhoÕ d want to mix it up in such self-serving dysfunction? What we are left though is a divided nation, a disengaged public, a group of decision makers trying to gauge the support of special interests, while our airplane falls in a downward spiral. ItÕ s heartbreaking to see this happen to us all. Come on. Surely there are some values weÕ re all willing to share.

JOHNSBURG Ñ The Johnsburg Town Board has tabled a resolution calling for a moratorium on issuing permits for solar energy systems, arguing the proposal was something of a Ò knee jerk reaction.Ó Acting Town Supervisor Eugene Arsenault echoed that characterization, which was used moments earlier by Councilman Peter Olesheski Jr., saying the board simply wanted time to put better zoning regulations in place. Arsenault said the board in no way wished to discourage the use
of solar energy, and in fact, later accepted a bid for installing solar panels on the Town Hall/Library. He said there is even discussion about locating a solar field at the dump, but the board would like to have some regulatory framework in place before issuing permits for solar systems. Arsenault said the board would like to refer the matter to the planning/zoning board for its recommendations. In response to a question from the public, Arsenault said the board did not have any specific concerns about solar systems, but saw a need to redefine the townÕ s zoning in order to protect the town in the future. However, the supervisor said the board also did not want to cause a problem as the building season
was beginning, and did not want to be seen as discouraging solar energy systems. The resolution would have exempted flush-mounted rooftop solar arrays on residential homes. The board later accepted the lone bid submitted to install solar panels on the Town Hall/Library. Queensbury-based provider Apex Solar bid $44,688 for a 15.96kw system. The bid contained an estimate for a 26.6kw system of $74,480. An estimate of savings prepared July 2016 by Kasselman Solar projected JohnsburgÕ s annual energy cost would drop from $3,300 to $215 after installing a solar system. Kasselman Solar did not submit a bid for the project. In other business, the Town Board also approved several requests for funding from the Occupancy Tax account. Olesheski, an Occupancy Tax Committee member, said he had received a request for funds for the town to participate in the annual Outdoor Expo, which would now be a two-day event rather than three. The board approved a request for up to $700. The board approved a request for $1,500 from Lisa Solomon, executive director of the Gore Mountain Region Chamber of Commerce, to provide lunch for 40 members of the NY State Outdoor Writers Association, who will be visiting Johnsburg on Oct. 12. The board approved $600 in licensing fees for the public showing of four, family-oriented movies. Robin Jay from the Gem Radio Theater and Laurie Arnheiter from the Hudson River Trading Company created the concept of Movies by the River. The licensing fee would be $150 per movie, which would be free to the public. Olesheski said after the $2,800 in payments, the Occupancy Tax account had roughly $10,000 remaining.

Horicon to consider rehab of Adirondack Schoolhouse Town eying fire department-owned property for potential meeting space By Christopher South
chris@suncommunitynews.com
HORICON Ñ The Horicon Town Board is going to engage in talks with the Adirondack Schoolhouse, which Town Supervisor Matt Simpson said has been leased in the past for town meetings. Ò We do not own that, it is the fire departmentÕ s property,Ó Simpson said. Ò In the past we had a lease to allow the public to use it for meetings.Ó The town has performed normal maintenance on the 1900s era building, but it now needs a significant investment of funds to bring it up to standards for a public meeting place. Simpson said there were issues with the roof and the electrical service. He said it is difficult for the town to spend money on a building it doesnÕ t own, and the fire department has talked about building a new building. Ò We need to decide to come forward with new building in future or repair the old schoolhouse. ItÕ s a difficult decision,Ó Simpson said. Building on another location is difficult, the supervisor said, because land is at a premium there, and there is no place to move the fire department. Ò We have to work through those details, but we will come up with agreement,Ó Simpson said. Simpson said he believes the discussion will result in a decision to rehabilitate the school house. Meanwhile, at the June 15 Town Board meeting, the board authorized a $5,000 donation to the YMCA Adirondack Center in Brant Lake. The YMCA is currently attempting to raise $50,000 from the community in order to receive a matching grant from two donors: the Himoff Family, and the StewartÕ s/Dake Family. The board also authorized the advertising of taking bids for surplus items, including a 2005 Ford truck and mowers. Simpson told the Sun the town had considered using the GovDeals.com auction site, but added that it generally sells surplus items to local residents who donÕ t
94848
have to compete with bidders from across the nation. He said he feels itÕ s better to give someone whose tax dollars bought the item to put a bid on it. Simpson said the town had been awarded a $100,000 grant for the 1881 Union Church. He said the money would be used to remodel the church as a museum. The town owns the property and the building, and the restoration of the church has been a project of the Historical Society. Horicon recently received grant disbursement agreement and it is being reviewed by the town attorney, so the town can submit it for reimbursement.
CORRECTION: We reported in the June 24 edition (“Thurman adds $5,500 to water
supply project”) the Town of Thurman water project was $3,000 over the bonded amount of $313,000. The information should have been omitted because, as was stated in the article, the $313,000 bond included a contingency amount of $20,000 for unexpected expenses, which covers the $5,500 change order, and the project is still under budget.
