By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Diamond Point residents blasted the Lake George Town Board Monday July 9 for its recent action to bar access to the local beach when lifeguards
aren’t on duty. Twelve hours later — after the verbal battle at the monthly town board meeting — the board apparently backed off its resolve. For about a month, the town has padlocked a gate to the Diamond Point Beach prior to 10 a.m. and after 6 p.m. daily, citing that state
Health Department rules — and the town’s insurance company — require restricted access. Town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson couldn’t be reached Tuesday for for comment or confirmation. Diamond Point residents had angrily criticized the lockdown at the evening meeting, sparring with
town officials. By Tuesday morning, town Buildings & Grounds director Jim Martino said the board was now at least temporarily leaving the gate unlocked — but the gate had apparently been removed and stolen, and he called the Warren County Sheriff ’s Office to report the incident.

LAKE GEORGE — This weekend, the critically acclaimed Big Apple Circus, featuring world-class aerialists and acrobats — is launching its two-week debut engagement in Lake George. To be situated in the Charles Wood Park — the former Gaslight Village property, the circus is conducted under a traditional big top — complete with air conditioning —± with no seat farther than 50 feet from the performances. The first performances are to be held Saturday July 14 at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., with 23 more shows through Sunday July 29. Area officials said they are pleased that such a prominent national attraction decided to choose Lake George as one of its sites for 2012. The award-winning intimate circus, based in New York City, has been located for similar stints in such high-profile places as Boston, the Washington, D.C. area, as well as Lincoln

Summer festival set for weekend The Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce’s first-ever Summer Festival, an expansion of its annual mid-July arts and crafts show, is to occur this Saturday and Sunday, July 14 and 15. The event not only showcases artisans and crafters, but it also now includes games, family activities, entertainers and food vendors. Other community events, coordinated by various organizations, will also be held over the weekend. Various artisans noted for the quality of their work — whether its fine wood products, jewelry or fine art — will be featured, alongside a wide selection of vendors. Headlining the festival is accomplished country rock singer Jay Collins of Jacksonville Fla. He will be presenting two performances — from 1 to 2:30 p.m. on both days, during which Collins will undoubtedly be playing his hit single "Party our Hats Off." Collins has opened for many country/rock artists such as Alan Jackson, Randy Travis and Jake Owen. Several churches will be holding dinners during the festival and one will be hosting a strawberry social. Children’s activities are also planned. Local businesses will be selling wares in front of their storefronts, so downtown will have a festive ambiance. For details, contact the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce at 623-2161.
Fishing talk set for museum Noted area angler and naturalist Mark Brown is to offer a presentation "Adirondack Fishing - Past and Present" on Saturday, July 14 at the Warrensburgh Museum of Local History.
The hour-long talk and demonstration will be presented at 10:30 a.m. and again at 1:30 p.m. in an air conditioned room. Warrensburg native Mark Brown is a retired state Department of Environmental Conservation biologist and self-confessed fishing fanatic. He currently operates Brown's Tree Farm on Schroon River Road. Mark said this week that fishing has always been an important Adirondack experience, from early settlement days in the 18th century, when it provided sustenance, to current times when it has become a popular sport. The Warrensburgh Museum is located at 3754 Main St. During this weekend’s Warrensburg Summer Festival, the museum will be open from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday July 14 and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday July 15. A tent sale of Warrensburgh Historical Society books and calendars will be held during those hours, during which folks can purchase raffle tickets for two Old Town kayaks. The museum is operated by the Warrensburgh Historical Society for the Town of Warrensburg. Admission is always free, and is fully accessible. For details, contact museum director Steve Parisi at 623-2207.
Country gospel concert set The Warrensburg Assembly of God church will host gospel singers Bonnie & Julian in a concert set for 6 p.m. July 29. A love offering will be collected at the free concert, and all are invited to attend.
Seniors’ 50-Plus Club picnic set The Warrensburg 50-Plus group will host its annual picnic for members on Aug 9 at the Warrensburg Fish hatchery. A barbecue with all the fixings will be served from noon to 1 p.m.

Make the time for your neighbor in need
O
ne of the biggest issues facing organizations primarily run by volunteer groups throughout the Adirondacks is that people just can’t find the time to volunteer. Between jobs and other family responsibilities, many people don’t think there is any time leftover to commit to volunteering. Yet, what your time can do for others has tremendous value. It makes business sense for organizations to sign up volunteers. A 2010 Volunteering in America study estimated that an hour of volunteering was worth $26. And volunteer firefighters save localities about $129.7 billion every year in the U.S. Firemen’s Association of the State of New York President David Jacobowitz said that statewide studies have shown that if all volunteer fire protective services were funded by taxpayers, it would add about $2.8 billion in labor costs and $4.4 billion in equipment, structural changes, fire vehicle value, and general operational costs per year. Not-for-profit groups are faced with the realities of relying on volunteers for their survival. In the end, if enough volunteers cannot be found, some smaller groups — such as local museums — may have to cut hours or even close. Fire departments are faced with similar challenges. In 2011, for example, the Blue Mountain Lake Volunteer Fire Department was faced with closure due to the decline in volunteers. With the help of the community, which overwhelmingly wanted the fire department to stay active, new members joined and the fire department was saved. Many local fire and rescue departments have dramatically smaller squads than when the current senior members began. According to a report by the National Volunteer Fire Council, the number of volunteer firefighters has dropped 14 percent since 1984. While the number of new volunteers is going down, the age of current volunteers is increasing and the volume of emergency calls remain the same. A majority of the agencies in need of volunteers rely on retirees, many of whom bring a variety of talents from their years in the workforce. Yet, with vacations, “company” and other obligations, volun-

teers are not always a reliable option to replace paid workers. Therefore, more volunteers are always needed to fill in when others can’t make a shift because they are not available. We encourage everyone — retirees, those in the workforce and teenagers — to volunteer, even if it’s only a few hours a week. By helping the local animal shelter, food bank or other small organization, you are helping your neighbors in need. There’s always a little time to help. Only 18.5 percent of New Yorkers volunteered in 2010 compared to the national average of 26.6 percent. According to Kathleen Snow, development director of North Country Regional Volunteer Center, New York state ranked dead last — 50 out of the 50 states — for active volunteerism. During a time of crisis, those in the Adirondacks have proven when there is an imminent need, such as the disaster left in the wake of Tropical Storm Irene, they can accomplish great things. Snow said many people called into the office to find out how they could help and have continued to help through the Long Term Recovery group created to continue to help after FEMA left the area. The group includes members of the Mental Health Association, the Salvation Army and Project Hope. Floodwaters or not, the need for your time and effort in the community is ever present. For more information on how you can help the people in your community, call the United Way volunteer help line at 211 or visit one of your local organizations — fire departments, hospitals, libraries, chambers of commerce, museums, social groups, etc. By volunteering, you are giving back, and your time is greatly appreciated.

Jobs hang in the balance
L
ast week the Labor Department released its June report and the numbers were well below expectations. It was the third-consecutive month of weak job growth. From April through June, the economy produced an average of just 75,000 jobs a month, the weakest quarter since July through September 2010. The unemployment rate stayed at 8.2 percent. Both parties and politicians at every level benchmark their performance based on job creation and a low unemployment rate, even though many who hold and run for office have never truly created a job or been responsible for employing a person with their own money. Speaking from experience, I can tell you it’s a heavy weight on one’s shoulders. Making certain there is enough money in the bank to pay the person hired, cover all the taxes and benefits and dealing with a never ending list of government regulations and reporting is a heavy burden. When things don’t go as planned there is no spinning of the facts or passing blame to anyone other than the employer and employee. As a small business owner, job creation is a very personal thing and no serious employer takes the task lightly, especially when it’s your money being spent and your money on the line for the performance of the tasks assigned to a person. Most small business owners I know feel exactly the same way. I can personally attest that many sleepless nights go by making hiring or firing decisions, dealing with disciplinary issues, benefit plans, work assignments, injuries and generating enough revenue to keep the lights on and the staff working. That said, when I hear politicians and bureaucrats taking credit for creating x-number of jobs and putting people to work, I have to wonder if they really have any idea how the process truly works and that each hire or dismissal is so much more that just a statistic from which to campaign. It’s a life and that one life has dependents and responsibilities of their own that they likely lose sleep over. The whole process of being a small business owner or working for a small business gets brought up frequently in political campaigns and with the state of the economy in its current condition, we’ll be hearing a lot about the economy and jobs in the coming weeks and months.
We’re told that the Labor Department report left economists and investors grasping for any Dan Alexander good news. They Thoughts from found some in Behind the Pressline the fact that the average hourly pay rose 6 cents in June, the biggest monthly gain in nearly a year. The average work week also grew, and companies hired 25,000 temporary workers, usually a sign that they will eventually move to full-time workers, but it’s no guarantee. Economists and investors appear to be living off the sweat and stress of those of us who have true skin in the game. Like a gambler down on his luck, until solid consumer confidence returns, small business employers must continue to risk with every hire that they can maintain sufficient stability in their business to keep pressing forward with little to gain or even go deep into debt hoping for their luck to turn around. Small businesses and their employees represent nearly 60 percent of the US workforce. In the upcoming election cycle politicians will spend billions talking about jobs and the economy. They’ll debate insourcing and outsourcing and who is best suited to create the most jobs and generate the strongest economy. They’ll take credit for everything positive and accept no blame for anything that went wrong and all the while small business employers and the fate of millions of employees will rest on the outcome of the elections, until confidence, cooperation and rock solid belief in the future of the US economy returns to prior form. Each night as the politicians go to bed, they and their advisors will think of new strategies to gain more votes and overcome gaffs made on the stump. Their goal will be to put the best spin on what is or isn’t happening with the US economy. Meanwhile small business owners and their employees will continue to lose sleep worrying about that next payroll, praying sales improve and that the outcome of the elections will in fact have a positive impact on the country’s economy.

the Rev. Frank Finkle sang “Nearer My God to Thee” and “Blest Be the Tie that Binds” at the funeral conducted in her late home.
•100 Years Ago – July 1912• Dead in the blink of an eye Lee Bennett, 14, a son of Clayton Bennett, a sawyer, who recently moved to Ticonderoga from Horicon, was crushed to death the evening of July 2, 1912 by a locomotive. The Bennett boy and a ten-year-old Italian boy, Joe Liberador, jumped on the running board of the tender of the engine as the engineer in the cab pulled the throttle to back up in the main line for coal. The switch malfunctioned as the engine turned to a siding and the heavy locomotive crashed into the passenger coaches standing on the track. The little Italian boy saw the danger and jumped from the engine sustaining only bruises which were not serious. The Bennett boy was caught between the tender and the coach and his life was crushed out in an instant. His body and one side of his head were terribly crushed and death, according to the physicians who were called, was instantaneous.
Bird hunter loses leg Dr. Louis S. Hartman of Syracuse was the victim of a very serious accident at Indian Lake July 3, 1912 when a shotgun, which he was carrying while in pursuit of a hawk, dropped to the ground and discharged. The charge of shot entered his left foot and he was taken to the Royal Victoria Hospital at Montreal where it was necessary to amputate the leg just below the knee. Two doctors, who were occupying nearby Mountain View cottage, removed the pieces of leather and cloth which had been driven into the wound.
Wrong place, wrong time Ernest La Clair of Indian Lake was instantly killed by a bolt of lightning Saturday, July 6, 1912, during a heavy thunderstorm at Ra-
quette Lake. La Clair was employed in a sawmill on the Marion River Carry. With a number of others employed he had been engaged about the mill until the storm broke and the machinery shut down. A number of sharp flashes seemed to strike nearby and without warning a bolt hit the roof of the mill. Tearing through the shingles, the lightning worked its way along the rafters striking La Clair who stood near one of the posts used for support.
World news Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker, the Colorado suffragist leader, died at the Adler Sanitarium in San Francisco. She was attending the annual meeting of the National Federation of Woman’s Clubs when stricken. An operation earlier to remove gallstones was performed July 5, 1912 and the surgeons said it was successful. They removed one stone as large as an egg from the intestinal canal but the next day Mrs. Decker began to sink and she slowly passed away. (Note…It wasn’t until 1920 that woman’s suffrage was written into the US constitution.) In other news, 43 passengers were killed — and four more later died — in a rear-end collision between two Lackawanna trains in Gibson, N.Y. The injured numbered 60 people. Many of the victims were excursionists bound for Niagara Falls from New York.
Law suit settled out of court A neighbor ’s quarrel was transferred on July 11, 1912 from the Hutchin’s Lake locality to Justice Hodgson’s court on King Street, Warrensburgh. In a big pasture adjoining Ira Wilsey’s farm a horse owned by his neighbor James Swan, was turned out. Ira claimed that the horse strayed onto his land several times and damaged his crops. He told neighbor Jim to take care of his horse or there would
be something doing. Jim claimed that he knew nothing of the alleged trespass. Ira finally decided to protect himself so the next time that the animal appeared he toted out his old shotgun and peppered the horse’s hide full of No. 4 bird shot. Jim was mad! “I’ll law ye, b’gosh,” he told Ira and he did. When the case came to trial, Ira — by the advice of his counsel Charles P. Coyle, offered to settle, and the matter was fixed up by payment of $25 and costs. District Attorney John B. Cunningham was counsel for Jim Swan.
Mysterious animal deaths Lady, a fine dog owned by J.F. Beckwith of Riverbank, has met the same fate that six weeks ago befell poor Rex, a valuable Shepherd dog owned by J.H. Roberts. An analysis of Rex’s stomach proved that he was poisoned with strychnine and a dose of the same stuff was undoubtedly the cause of Lady’s death. In other news, a valuable Jersey cow owned by James Davison of the Wayside Hotel was found dead in Cunningham’s pasture. The animal had been missing for more than a week and a thorough search had been made for her. The body was found some distance back of the fairground and was decomposed. It is believed that she was killed by a stray bullet from a hunter ’s gun.
Long-time resident dies Mrs. Harvey Kenyon, 66, died at her home in Athol the evening of June 23, 1912 after a long illness. She was a lifelong resident of the town of Thurman, a woman devoted to her home and family. Mrs. Kenyon is survived by her husband and two children, Mrs. Nora Dow and Allen Kenyon.

Gardeners & artisans sought The first of 2012’s summer concerts in the Thurman town park — offered weekly on Mondays — was very enjoyable July 2 and it had a great turnout. The fireworks show was spectacular — however, there were no local vendors, gardeners or artisans, as was expected. Thurman residents who wish to sell their wares at the weekly concerts are urged to call the town hall at 623-9649 to reserve a space. Set up time for the market is 6:30 p.m. This week’s free Monday concert will feature Hoddy Ovitt and the Warren County Ramblers with their traditional bluegrass tunes. A favorite in our region, this bluegrass group showcases Ovitt on guitar and six-string banjo; Johnny Mosher on mandolin, guitar and lead vocals; Kenny Myers picking bass and Pete Bolster on guitar. Light refreshments will be available. Youngsters can enjoy the playground at the field. Guests may wish to bring a comfortable chair and wear layered clothing for varying Adirondack weather. l
Churches offer varied activities The Thurman Baptist Church has had a strong presence in the Thurman community since the late 1800s. Located in the north end of town at 380 South Johnsburg Road, the church welcomes people of all ages to their Sunday school at 9:45 a.m., followed by worship services at 11 a.m.. Sunday evening services are held at 6 p.m., and a prayer meeting on Thursdays at 7 p.m. In addition, the church has a youth group, plus a “Senior Saints” organization with activities for those aged 50 and over, a Young Adults group for those 18 through 49, and a Vacation Bible School for all ages. the church also sponsors missions conferences and a nursing home ministry. The Kenyontown United Methodist Church is located at 304 Valley Road near the intersection with Garnet Lake Road South. Services include: Sunday school at 10:15 a.m.; Sunday worship service at 11 a.m.; and Bible Study at 7 p.m. on the third Wednesday of each month. Also, Fellowship Dinners are held with everyone bringing a dish to share. Along with home mission projects, the church also supports a missionary couple in Poland. The group invites all to come and join in worship or Bible study. Christ Community Church broke ground in 1960 and is located at 383 Athol Road. Several local families rolled up their sleeves and went to work to create a church at the Athol end of town after the Athol Methodist Episcopal Church building was taken down. The bell from that church tolls at Christ Community Church today. The church welcomes people of all faiths. Sunday worship is held at 11 a.m. The church also offers Sunday school and has a nursing home ministry.
Did you know that the Thurman Volunteer Fire Company was organized by a group of local volunteers, who built the firehouse in 1955? It has been a growing organization within the community ever since. Incidentally, local fire officials note that many Thurman residents do not yet have their house number displayed. To prevent delays in dire situations, be sure to display your correct house number so that it can easily be seen from the road by emergency personnel. Public libraries across the state, including Richards Library in Warrensburg, are encouraging youngsters to read this summer in their “Dream Big” program. contact Richards Library or another are library — for details. Several enterprising birds have built nests this year on public property — a bluebird built one in the birdhouse on the sign in front of the Thurman Town Hall, and is busy caring for her youngsters. Right behind the sign is a forsythia bush, in which a robin built a nest and is taking care of her babies. They take turns sitting on the sign and are always coming and going. Recently there have been several reports of nuisance animals. On South Garnet Lake Road there has been a visitor that has not been very well received — a busy bear has been raiding resident’s bird-feeders and garbage cans. This creature seems to quite intent as it goes from one location to another until all the neighbors have been visited. It may be a good idea to elevate your bird feeders to discourage a visit from bears. On Huber Road there is an even more dangerous animal — a coy dog has been seen attacking a neighbor ’s cat The Department of Environmental Conservation has reported that there has been a rise in the number of coy dogs in the area, noting that the creatures travel the same route every two weeks and that they are prevalent on an everyother-year cycle. So area residents may choose to keep their pets indoors and accompany them while outside. The Warren County Board of Supervisors has named the

Hot as Hades For the past two weeks, the weather all over the country has been so hot that people have been forced to either take to the woods or the ice house. In the big cities the public baths have been so overcrowded that those who could not gain admittance have had to content themselves with lying in the bathtub and in the country the old swimming holes have been full up at all hours of the day and most of the night. In New York City alone in the last few days there have been 25 deaths from the heat and hundreds have been prostrated and as of yet there is no relief in sight. On July 9, 1912 the mercury in Warrensburgh reached 100 in the shade and in some places it climbed to 102 degrees. It was the hottest July 9th in 20 years. A day earlier In Warrensburgh at the Burnhamville pulp mill, a thermometer which hung in the sun registered 130 degrees. When complaining of the intense heat we are enduring, we should remember of those 35 degrees-below-zero mornings last winter and be refreshed.
News roundabout A forest fire broke out in West Stony Creek near St. John’s Lake and burned over about 25 acres of land before it was finally extinguished. The long drought has hurt grass and the hay crop will be light this year. A baby girl arrived at the home of Artie Holcomb in North Creek and mother and daughter are doing fine. Mrs. William Lavery of Igerna celebrated the Fourth of July by becoming the mother of a little daughter. Mrs. Timothy Donovan of Riverbank cut her foot quite badly with an axe. William Hammond of Igerna clipped off the end of his finger on a mowing machine and Dr. Moston dressed the wound.

Blacked-Eyed Susan to be the official flower of the Bicentennial in 2013. County Clerk Pam Vogel has said this flower has a long-standing history in the county and plantings of the species would be a fitting tribute during the bicentennial. Plans are underway to promote the Black Eyed Susan county-wide for the year-long event.

Youth on mission to spruce up Warren County properties WARRENSBURG — Octogenarian Pat Wassel looked out of a window at The Pillars, toward dozen of teenagers painting the siding and trim on her aging Main St. estate which hosts a variety of local enterprises in its former motel units. “It’s wonderful what these kids are doing — I can’t believe it,” she said, watching the youths scrape and paint. “With taxes and other expenses, i can’t afford to fix the place up like this — it’s incredible to see them work like this.” About three dozen teen members of two churches in southern Ohio, representing the mission organization YouthWorks, were at work July 9 on Wassel’s sprawling downtown property. From mid-June through the first week in August, about 400 teenagers — primarily from the midwestern and eastern U.S. — will have participated in the week-long work sessions in northern Warren County. The group has been fixing up both private and public properties in the area. In Warrensburg, YouthWorks crews have painted the First Presbyterian Church parsonage, and helped fill in sunken graves at the local cemetery. Warrensburg Deputy Supervisor John Alexander said the teenagers’ work in town was much appreciated. Alexander bought a YouthWorks crew pizzas July 3 after they finished clearing brush — a full dumpster ’s worth — at the town Echo Lake park and beach. “It’s amazing what these kids accomplished,” he said. “What a testimony for our nation's youth, that people volunteer like this.” The YouthWorks teens have also worked twice per week in gardens on local public sites in Warrensburg — mulching,

weeding and planting, according to Teresa Whalen of Warrensburg Beautification. The young volunteers have tilled and planted in an expansion of the local community garden, plus fixed up a composting system there. They’ve also cleared a trail at the local Riverside Park which hosts the local farmers’ market — and they’ve attended to the decorative garden at the Warrensburg Elementary School, she said.

“Their work has been tremendous —they’ve gotten so much accomplished,” she said. “Also, the teenagers are learning so much about plants and gardening.” YouthWorks crews have also painted cabins and cleaned up the property at Jesus Is Lord Camp in Diamond Point, landscaped at the North Creek Ski Bowl and Gore Mountain Ski Center, and fixed up the exterior of the Bakers Mills Wesleyan Church. In the town of Chester, YouthWorks crews have helped clergy at The Priory retreat house prepare for their annual Garage Sale fundraiser. In North Creek, the teenagers are working weekly to help construct a community mosaic downtown. They also conduct several visits to Tri-County Nursing Home to play games and lead exercises with the residents there. The mission is also holding a “Kids Club” open to local children on weekdays at the First Presbyterian Church in Warrensburg. YouthWorks, a Christian organization based in Minnesota, sends volunteers out to dozens of mission sites across North America. This is the sixth consecutive summer they’ve sent a series of mission trips to northern Warren County. The YouthWorks group has been based locally in Warrensburg, with the girls staying overnight in classrooms at the First United Methodist Church, and the boys on the floor of the one-room Pentecostal Holiness Church. In their rare spare time, the teen volunteers were hiking, swimming, socializing and worshiping. Recreation while here has included swimming in Lake George at Million Dollar Beach, hiking though woods at The Priory, and visiting Natural Stone Bridge & Caves in Pottersville. One of the group leaders, John McIlvane, said the program annually introduces youth to community service while they learn about the local culture, and form relationships with people of all generations. “We really like being part of the community,” he said. “People love that we’re here, and we feel very blessed.”

The Historical Society of the Town of Chester and the Chestertown Public Library will co-host a presentation by author Caperton Tissott on July 25th at 7:00 pm in the Town of Chester Municipal Center auditorium. The Municipal Center is located at 6307 State Route 9 in Chestertown – right across from the Grand Union. Caperton will present a slide show based on her recently published book, Adirondack Ice, a Cultural and Natural History. It will be followed by a discussion and book signing. Ice has had a substantial influence on the course of Adirondack history. Caperton, using slides and stories, will discuss how ice has helped determine the region’s economic, cultural and natural history. From ice industries to transportation, recreation to accidents, all have played a major role in the North Country. Caperton writes both poetry and prose. Her book, Adirondack Ice, a Cultural and Natural History, 2010, comes on the heels of History between the Lines; Women’s Lives and Saranac Lake Customs, 2007. Her most recent work is a booklet, Saranac Lake’s Ice Palace; Winter Carnival’s Crown Jewel. She finds inspiration in family, small communities, the arts and backcountry wilderness. Her work includes history, memoirs, observations and social commentary. At present, she is working on a novel set in the Adirondacks. Come and see how productive and destructive ice can be! This cosponsored event is free and open to the general public. This will be the second program of the 2012 Season. August 22 is a program by Penny Readers. They will be doing readings from local writers – maybe someone you know!! David Pitkin, one of our most popular presenters, will be doing a program for us on Sept 26th about ghosts in the Carol Theatre in town. This building has been authenticated as having spirits. So when you come, you may see folks you haven’t seen IN YEARS!! October 24th will be our final program for the season. It’s going to be George Wertime narrating a tape of J. Phillip Sullivan talking about Chestertown when he was growing up. All programs are at 7PM in the Town’s Municipal Center across from the Grand Union (except September’s). We look forward to seeing you at any or all of our programs!! They are free and open to the public, hope to see you there!! 76079

W’burg’s Baker prevails in first pro MMA fight By Thom Randall
Warrensburg’s Lenny Baker (center), who was an NCAA National Champion wrestler, poses for a publicity photo with his father Leonard Baker Sr. (left), a Warrensburg Central wrestling coach, and his trainer — and fellow WCS graduate — Darin Rafferty, who was a Golden Gloves champion that is now a coach and trainer at Spa City Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Ballston Spa.
33 rd ANNUAL

Faith Baptist to hold Bible school WARRENSBURG — The Faith Baptist Church, 4 Burhans Ave, will host its annual Vacation Bible School Program from July 16 through July 20. Intended for children ages kindergarten through sixth grade, this year ’s program is titled "Sonlight Express.” Sessions will be held each evening from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. This theme of a spiritual railway incorporates exciting stops along the way for area children, Pastor Lee Call said. Puppets, songs, refreshments, crafts, games, take-home prizes and a special gospel message are offered each evening, he said. Contact Pastor Lee Call at 623-4071.
From the outset of the match, Baker took Ciervo off his feet and slammed him against the fight cage three times with wrestling takedowns — from which Ciervo recovered each time — then caught him off guard with a series of punches with his left fist. The last was a “massive left hook,” sportswriter Brian Pizza reported, that knocked Ciervo unconscious. Rafferty reported that about two dozen people came from northern Warren County and the Capital Region to support Baker in his pro debut. “It was a big, exciting night for all of us,” Rafferty said, noting that in Baker ’s post-fight interview, he not only thanked his family and friends for their support, but he dedicated the fight to his aunt Becky Hitchcock of Thurman, who recently passed away. “Family means every-
thing to Lenny,” Rafferty said. “It meant a lot for him to win the match in her honor.” Rafferty noted that Baker ’s earnings are likely to build as he moves forward, getting matched up with ever more experienced fighters. Baker is scheduled to fight again this November, either at Borgata Casino or at Resorts Casino. Rafferty predicted that having one fight behind him would prove helpful. “This first match was a good learning experience, but in the next fight, Lenny will be more relaxed,” Rafferty said. “He’s got a momentum going at this point.”

Although Ciervo came into the fight with a height advantage, more experience, and with a Mauy Thai training background that emphasizes kicks, knees and punches — Baker ’s strategy, power and skills prevailed, said Baker ’s trainer Darin Rafferty, also a WCS graduate. Rafferty said Baker shook off any “first fight” nerves, despite the media attention — which included a prefight live “stare-down” — and crowd of about 500.

WARRENSBURG — One of northern Warren County’s most accomplished athletes not only launched his pro career recently with a flourish, but he’s earned a title already. In his first professional Mixed Martial Arts fight June 30, Warrensburg’s own Lenny Baker has brought Warrensburg a measure of fame. On the fight cards and in the writeups, Baker — a former NCAA champion wrestler who graduated from Warrensburg High School in 1998 — is now referred to as Lenny “Small Town” Baker. The nickname appeared in sports columns after he scored a convincing, heavyhanded knockout against Philadelphia favorite Judah Ciervo in a Cage Fury Fighting Championships matchup held at Resorts Casino in Atlantic City. Baker scored a first-round knockout in 4:29, and sportswriters said Baker was dominant from the start — just as he was back in high school wrestling matches in Warrensburg and in college. Baker was an NCAA Division III National Champion at 141 pounds in 2001. He’s now fighting at 155 pounds.

Bicycles sought for workers The Emmanuel Methodist Church recently hosted a family picnic to welcome the annual contingent of foreign citizens arriving to work in area establishments — most of them this year hail from Romania and Belarus. The foreign citizens — many of them students — were treated to food, Frisbee tossing and were introduced to Bocci ball. Parishioners attending the picnic learned that these workers are in need of bicycles for transportation to and from work as well as getting around town. Those who have a bicycle to donate, or who are willing to donate their time and talents to help repair bicycles, call Paul or Sandy Rice at 644-2807 or Anita Richards at 644-2492.

Chester ceremony from page 1 arms in the air moments after the memorial dedication ceremony occurred. “I’m too emotional.” The occasion not only included speeches and political luminaries, but a color guard of active marine reservists, hundreds of uniformed veterans, a top state veterans’ official, and a daring fly-over featuring two antique airplanes. But most impressive about the dedication event was the crowd of nearly 1,000 local residents jamming the new plaza, singing patriotic anthems with pride, cheering veterans with gusto — savoring every moment. State Veterans Affairs Acting Director William Kraus said he was deeply impressed by the commitment of the local residents in their support of the memorial through the donations of cash and talent. “Chester citizens, you deserve to be proud,” he said. “You are the embodiment of America. This monument will stand forever — there is no finer tribute than this.” State Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward offered a similar thought after she noted that her grandson was now serving in Afghanistan, prompting cheers from the crowd. “This is a very emotional event for me today,” she said. “Thank you for all you’ve done to honor those who gave so much,” she said.

State Sen. Betty Little praised the dozens of people who invested time to make the memorial and the surrounding plaza a reality. She said it transformed the municipal center, making it truly a public landmark. “This is a wonderful place for people to come, think, and contemplate,’ she said. “This dedication event makes me proud to be an American.” Town Supervisor Fred Monroe said the planning and construction of the plaza,
which took about a year, was accomplished in an “unbelievably short time.” “This memorial plaza will live on as a reminder of the thousands who protected our precious freedoms,” he said. “This is a fitting memorial to honor them.” Monroe continued, noting that the gathering for the ceremony was impressive in size, scope and spirit. “This is an amazing celebration of community spirit and patriotism,” he said.
Bagpipes were played, taps were sounded, and a volley of gunshots were fired in salute of soldiers who served the nation. Robin Noel Jewell of Naples, Fla. and Bert Britt of Schroon Lake sang various patriotic selections, and hundreds of citizens chimed in, many with tears in their eyes. The service was concluded by a dramatic fly-over by the “Adirondack Air Force” — John Alexander of Warrensburg piloting a PT-23 Fairchild, and Don Latterell of Queensbury behind the throttle of a PT-17 Stearman biplane. They criss-crossed in the skies overhead — not far above the crowd, which voiced raucous cheers in response. Afterwards, hundreds of people surrounded the four massive memorials, to view the names of loved ones or friends engraved in the granite slabs. Jen Smith of Pottersville located the names of three of her relatives — her father, Harry Smith, who served in Vietnam; her uncle, Robert Smith, who served in the War on Terror, and her second cousin, Robert Wood. “To see their names here is touching, humbling and moving,” Jen Smith said. “It makes me very proud.” Debbie Leigh of North Creek located the name of her father, Kenneth W. Tracy, who served in the Marine Corps in World War II. “This memorial says to my dad, ‘Your life counted, your service to the nation was really important,’ — and it means a lot to me,” Leigh said.
The Priory retreat house near Loon Lake marks a quarter century Garage Sale set for this weekend CHESTER — An annual Garage Sale event is taking place this weekend at a treasured local spiritual resource — The Priory retreat house. Located off Pinenotch Rd. near Loon Lake and accessed by state Rte. 8, The Priory is celebrating its 25th year as a spiritual retreat center. The Priory, at first a Benedictine monastery, was dedicated by Roman Catholic officials in 1974. In June 1987, The Priory started a new path as Sister Connie Messitt became the director, leading the transformation of The Priory into a year-round retreat center for people of all faiths. After working alone at the retreat for about two years, she was joined in 1989 by Sister Francis Gilchrist. Under their leadership and assisted by many community
volunteers, they launched an ever-wider variety of weekend workshops, overnight retreats, and classes focusing on such topics as spirituality, religious history, parenting, overcoming fears, grieving and navigating life transitions, as well as conducting book clubs and film series. People hailing from the Capital Region as well as elsewhere in the state and all over the Northeast flocked to the 100-acre retreat, with its chapel and sprawling rustic buildings — seeking spiritual direction as well as to refresh and renew their souls. Sister Fran retired in 2009, after nearly two decades of fulltime service and several years of part-time work. Sister Connie Messitt continues to head up The Priory to this day, with a changing cast of co-directors serving various stints in recent years. This weekend’s Garage Sale at The Priory is the facility’s
major fundraiser, which enables the retreat to continue operating The sale features hundreds of items including furniture, household goods, clothes linens, crafts, Christmas decorations, sporting goods, electronics, religious goods, artwork, toys. shoes. books, CDs, DVDs. The sale is scheduled for 9 a.m to 3 p.m. on both Saturday July 14 and Sunday July 15. Friday, Sister Connie Messitt spoke of her 25-year tenure at The Priory. “I enjoy helping people orient their lives, gaining spiritual direction,” she said.”My ministry enlivens me, and makes me be in touch with my own spirituality.” She said that she intends to continue her role as long as she’s able to. “I hope The Priory continues to be a sacred space for people, particularly those in transition,” she added.

Small temporary signs may be restricted in town of Lake George By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — The regulation of temporary signs that real estate agents and contractors stick in homeowners’ lawns is now under consideration by the Lake George Town Board. The board members have suggested that a town ordinance be drafted similar to the existing policies of the town of Bolton. Bolton’s rules say that small business signs of this type are allowed on-site for
the duration the construction work is under way or the real estate advertised by the sign remains for sale or for lease. Off-premise signs are allowed — for a maximum of 48 hours — to provide directions for contractors’ suppliers to find the work site for deliveries, or potential real estate buyers or lessors to find the property. Such signs cannot be in the public right-of-way, nor be affixed to utility poles, street signs, hydrants nor traffic control devices. They also
are prohibited from being painted or drawn on rocks or other natural features. Both types of signs are to measure less than four square feet. July 9, the Lake George Town Board postponed setting a public hearing date on a proposed ordinance in order to confer with the town attorney on the provisions of the proposed statute. Town officials said the issue would likely be addressed at the August town board meeting.
Letter to the Editor Why the gender gap in achievement?
Quick action by Warrensburg and Chestertown firefighters saved a historic landmark in uptown Warrensburg Wednesday, June 27 as they quelled a blaze in the former Art Brown Shoe store block, located next to the Floyd Bennett Memorial Bandstand. Warrensburg Volunteer Fire Co. Chief Justin Hull said that a cigarette discarded in a plastic container on a porch outside an upstairs apartment sparked a blaze that damaged the porch floor and the exterior wall. Local officials praised their work for saving a building that is one of the town’s most valuable historic commercial assets. Photo by Thom Randall
To the Adirondack Journal: In June 23 issue of the Adirondack Journal, I saw a lovely photo of the proud top ten students of North Warren High School. Congratulations to the nine young women and one (yes, just one) young man. I received a circular from the Warrensburg Central School District the other week. Here I find a photo of the top ten seniors: seven proud young women, three young men. The circular also showed a photo of the high school’s contingent to the National Senior Honor Society. Congratulations to the 13 young women and one young man, all high
achievers. Anyone perceive a trend here? Add up these groups and we find 29 girls, 5 boys. Whew! Talk about gender disparity! Okay, maybe it is a small sample size but I have seen this trend over many years. Are boys not as smart as girls? But wait: these honors are for achievement, not aptitude. Feel better? Not me. Strongly implied by these results is a culture of not trying, of “achievement isn’t cool” among our male students. “Houston, we have a problem!” Does anyone have any ideas of what to do?

Vacation
Tethered to the house
from page 14
My wife and I like to visit museums and special events within a day’s drive, so it feels like we’re getting away from the regular people we see every day, but we’re not so far away that we can’t go home for dinner. After all, who’s going to let the dogs out to pee? My mother mostly, sometimes my fatherin-law. When we’re gone more than eight hours, we have to make arrangements for someone to let the dogs out. So we try to stay close enough to home. We take the dogs for walks and swims nearby but don’t travel with them. We’re afraid to try it. Besides, in the summer, we don’t want to keep dogs in a hot car while we’re making visits to local destinations.
The itinerary Make a list, don’t make a list, it’s up to you. Maybe you like a little organization, even on your vacation. That’s fine. Maybe you want to free-form it and go with the flow, do a stream-of-consciousness type of vacation. That’s fine, too. But if you’re going to make lists, you may want to separate them into categories, such as food, activities, books to read, etc. The first list should be a shopping list. You’re going to want to stock up on goodies. And it’s a good thing we have a full kitchen to enjoy, with a grill on the deck. But who wants to cook on vacation? We don’t, but we can’t afford to eat out every meal, even if we follow Rachael Ray’s $40 a day advice (that’s per person). So we mix it up: a meal out one day, dinner at home the next. It all depends on the itinerary and the mood. I like to at least have an idea where I want to go on my vacation. As much as I’d like to just sit around for a week watching Netflix and eating Chinese food and pizza, there is a world out there that needs to be explored, and I should enjoy the time I have to find out what’s in my own back yard. Bugs, mostly. I really don’t like to spend time in my own back yard in the summer because of the ants, hornets, deer flies and nosee-ums. So we must go and explore. Day trips are the key.
Shopping or hiking Which of these costs less money? Obviously, if you’re home on vacation, you don’t have tons of money to go shopping; however, you’d have less if you were going away. So I guess shopping’s an option for some people. But it’s not for me. My wife likes to shop. And if she can figure out a way to trick me into going to a shopping mall, I’m usually hanging out with all the other husbands on benches outside the stores. I’d rather take a walk in the woods, though. My wife doesn’t like to, especially during bug season, so that’s a peaceful and inexpensive option for me. I try not to use up a whole day in the woods, though. After all, this is our staycation. My wife and I choose one week of the year to vacation together, when our schedules allow, so we have to

practice the fine art of compromise. It’s important that each of us be allowed to do something alone if we choose; however, we should also be willing to tag along on shopping sprees or baseball games, even if we don’t want to.
Local favorites We like museums. Frequent staycation stops include the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake, Fort Ticonderoga, and many of the smaller museums throughout the Adirondack Park. Farmers’ markets are great, but you have to be careful with prices. Some markets are more expensive than others. Still, there is always a festive atmosphere at the farmers’ markets throughout the region. And there is usually one within a two-hour drive any day of the week. Summer concerts are a fun way to unwind, even in the summer heat. Most are free, so they’re affordable, and they are in comfortable surroundings, usually parks. Bring a lawn chair, sit back and relax. Boat cruises are worth the money. You’ll get to see things you normally don’t see. I recommend the 4.5-hour Discovery Cruise offered by the Lake George Steamboat Company. The Mohican II takes you from the village of Lake George at the southern end of the lake to Baldwin Landing in the town of Ticonderoga at the northern end of the lake. See all 32 miles of lake and learn about its history from the captain’s narration. We’ve also enjoyed boat cruises at Old Forge and Raquette Lake. Bring the camera. We love taking photos, and we are surrounded by some of the most
beautiful scenery in the world, so it’s not hard to find subjects. It’s a rule in my family not to work on vacations, so my wife typically scolds me for taking photos at events and attractions that she knows I will be using for publications I help produce. Many vacation photos have made their way into summer guides over the past 10 years. Although I’m afraid of heights, sometimes the best place to see a grand view is at the top of a mountain. You can drive to the top of Whiteface Mountain in Wilmington or Mount Defiance in Ticonderoga, which we’ve done. Prospect Mountain in Lake George is still on my to-do list. Or take an elevator to the top of a ski jump in Lake Placid. We also like to visit Vermont once in awhile during our staycations. It’s so close, there’s plenty to do and see, and we plan stops in Adirondack towns along the way, maybe visiting an orchard in Crown Point before crossing the Lake Champlain Bridge or taking a break at a local restaurant.
Too much of a good thing You’ll quickly hit a mental wall and run out of time if you try to pack in a vacation full of trips in the Adirondacks this summer. There is simply too much going on to fit it all in. Even if you were retired and had plenty of time, you couldn’t do it all. So pick and choose wisely. Our staycation goals — in addition to de-stressing — include trying new things. We’re constantly surprised by the number of activities in the Adirondack region we haven’t done before. Gun shows, mostly. We did try it once, but there was a lot of junk, so we never went back. Happy trails.

Diamond Point beach from page 1 meeting, Diamond Point residents, including Ann McGarry, said the board was misinterpreting state regulations, and their beach was being singled out in the lockdown. “We are outraged,” McGarry said, noting that dozens of other beaches both in the town and elsewhere in the region weren’t gated and locked after hours. “This is discriminatory, illegal, and can’t continue.” She said a state Health Department official assured her that all that was required to protect the town’s offhours liability was a sign prohibiting after-hours swimming. Town Board member Fran Heinrich, however, said that an unlocked beach meant the town was exposing itself to lawsuits if someone got hurt or drowned after hours. She said the town’s insurance company required the lockdown. “People are now so quick to file lawsuits,” she said. McGarry, however, replied that leaving other town beaches open, while locking up theirs, was also a legal liability for the town. “Locking one beach and leaving others open means you’re discriminating, and you’re inviting a lawsuit,” she said. Local resident Vinny Kostolni said that if someone got hurt on the waterfront behind the locked gates, the town might face even greater liability. Diamond Point resident Shelby Cromwell said that the town should switch insurance companies. She said that the beach and park were established by the town to prevent the super-rich summer residents from privatizing all the lake’s beachfront and excluding the local citizens. “This was originally set up for the people who don’t live on Millionaire’s Row — you’re discriminating against year-round residents,” she said. Heinrich said the board had received complaints that people were drinking there after hours, jumping off buildings, and vandalizing property there. Cromwell said that the problems with illegal behavior and vandalism were due to non-residents who weren’t allowed on the beach anyway — and they’d merely jump the fence if necessary to get in. McGarry said the town should enforce their “residents only” rule, and check identification, particularly on the busy times. Heinrich suggested keeping the lockdown in place, but paying for a lifeguard from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. to extend the time the beach would be unlocked. The Diamond Point residents objected loudly to Heinrich’s suggestion, saying it didn’t go far enough. One woman wept as she voiced her objections. McGarry said that there shouldn’t be any time restriction, as the property was deeded to the townspeople as a park, which should be open to the public. “This beach was given to the people of Lake George, and not to the town, board, and we want it back,” she said. Resident Carol Tanner
said she’d lived at Diamond Point for 37 years, and her family members and other local residents enjoyed kayaking, fishing and meditating at the beach during early morning and evening hours, but their access was now blocked. She added that if the beach was to be locked when no lifeguard was present, that would mean residents couldn’t enjoy the beach and park off-season. “We in Diamond Point are being held to a standard others aren’t,” she said. Diamond Point resident Jen Matteo said she had bought her property because of the waterfront access, which had now been taken away. She said she had owned property on other beaches in the state, and they were not gated. She said her family members enjoyed going to the beach in the morning, drink coffee, and watch the boats and enjoy the scenery. “Why is just our beach closed down? This doesn’t
make sense,” she said. Resident Jane Skorko said that people voted in the new board members and town supervisor as reform candidates, but they were now vulnerable. “If you don’t effectively govern for the people that elected you, we’ll vote you out of office,” she said. Town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson said that the town board had thoroughly reviewed the issue and taken action in compliance with state law and insurance requirements. “We have worked diligently on this issue,” he said. “We are well aware of your situation but we have a responsibility to the welfare and safety of the people of Lake George.” Board member Marisa Muratori said she supported open access for the residents. “This situation is absolutely unacceptable,” Muratori said, “I am deeply troubled this is happening

Whether or not to lock up Diamond Point Beach when no lifeguards on duty — an action taken recently by the lake George Town Board to ward off potential lawsuits — has angered local residents, who say they are being discriminated against and that the town board is misinterpreting state law.

— We should take the gate down.” Dickinson said the board would be consulting with lawyers, insurance agents and the state officials about the issue. “We’ll be trying to get the beach back open, but we have to touch all the bases we have to first,” he said. After the meeting, Dickin-
son said he strongly advocated keeping as much public all the beachfront open as possible, while not putting the town and its people in jeopardy. “If I had the opportunity, I’d open all the beaches I could for the townspeople of Lake George,” he said. Tuesday July 10, local resident Mike Seguljic said he’d
received a phone call from town board members Vinnie Crocitto and Fran Heinrich, who said they’d talked with the insurance underwriter, and that year-round access to the beach had been restored. At that time, Dickinson could not be reached to verify the report.

T
tem. Bass are also extremely sensitive to changes in barometric pressure, and approaching low pressure fronts provide an ideal opportunity for taking bass with topwater plugs such as Hula-Poppers, Jitterbugs or Chuggers. Low pressure causes birds to gather on tree branches and telephone wires, or flock together earlier in the day than usual. Conversely, bees and butterflies will mysteriously disappear from the flower beds they typically frequent and ants will build up bigger mounds around their holes, or actually cover the hole entirely. Cows will lay down in the fields or run around the field with their tails raised high swatting flies before a storm. As bad weather approaches, horses will typically face to the west to face the storm. Experience has taught me to take notice of such unusual behaviors in wildlife. If birds and beasts are acting weird, there’s often a good reason, especially if such actions are exhibited by a variety of different species A few of the other commonly accepted natural indicators include spiders retreating from their webs before a rain and bees staying close to their hives. Many people claim to have pain in their joints, or suffer ‘a pain in the brain before a rain.’ A coming storm is often presaged by bones that will ache, joints that will throb or tooth aches. Such whimsical weather rhymes were common in ancient times, and today they are easy to understand. Low pressure systems can have severe affects on the sinus cavities, thus ‘rain on the plain causes pain on the brain.’ Similar rhymes that come from those times would have to include, “When the wind is in the east, it is not a fit day for man or beast.” “Fish bite least, with wind in the east. But when wind is from the south, it blows the flies into the fish's mouth.” “When the wind is in the west, there it is the very best.” “When a ditch or pond affects the nose, look out for rain and stormy blows.” Approaching low pressure systems often keep scents low to the ground, including the musty smell of the autumn woods or the rankness of a bog. Other long accepted weather rhymes include “If birds fly low, expect rain and a blow” and “If the rooster crows on going to bed, you may rise with a watery head.” “Trout jump high, when rain is nigh. And a swarm of bees in May, is worth a load of hay.” “When sheep gather in a huddle, tomorrow will have a puddle” or “Expect the weather to be fair, when crows fly in pairs” and “When ladybugs swarm, expect a day that's warm.” “When chickens scratch together, there's sure to be foul weather” or “when pigs carry sticks, the clouds will soon play tricks, but when they lay in the mud, there are no fears of a flood.” Despite the best efforts and infinite intrusions of modern communications, there is simply no way to keep a constant track of approaching weather, especially in the Adirondacks. It is the wise traveler that will learn to pay attention to the natural signs. Although such signs are not always accurate, or easy to read, they can often make the difference between a ruined day or an easy escape to safe and dry terrain.
Weather or not! I
t had been a typical summer day in the Adirondacks. The blue sky was dotted with tall, fast moving puffy clouds as I fished for bass on a local lake. However, when the sky began to darken and the leaves of a hardwood tree began to reveal their white underbellies, I recognized the signals of an impending rain. There were threatening clouds on the far horizon, and I could smell rain in the air. My ears began popping with the advancing low air pressure system, and the lake’s surface turned flat and glassy. I motored down the lake to take shelter before the wind began to kick up. There were a couple of other boats that had already retreated, but many remained out on the lake. Shortly after I got to the dock, the clouds let loose a torrential downpour and boats began to scramble for cover. Most of the late returnees were totally drenched and they soon provided evidence of just how far removed modern society has become from being able to understand and recognize the natural progression of weather. “I never even saw it coming,” exclaimed one young man. “Me either,” chimed in another. “That one really snuck up on me. The weather report sure was wrong!” Summer thunderstorms have a tendency to sneak up on travelers in the Adirondacks, especially while on a lake where the surrounding topography often limits a view of the distant horizon. It happens likewise on the trail, when tall mountains shield the vista. Despite the numerous natural warning signals that we should heed, travelers commonly fail to recognize the natural signs. Unfortunately, today’s travelers have become too accustomed to relying on weather forecasters, Doppler Radar Accu-casts. They obtain weather knowledge from a variety of sources, rather than from natural observations. As a result, modern society has failed to recognize or retain many of the long accepted, weather signals. Many of these natural indicators have been forgotten. Surely, most people have heard about the predictability of the groundhog and his shadow, which is more fable than fact. However, there are many natural clues to weather that are reliable. Unfortunately, most people do not know what to look for, and others simply don’t know how to observe. I wonder how many people recognize that dogs and cats will often become nervous and jittery prior to the arrival of foul weather. It is a fact, not a fable. Animals aren’t psychic, they can’t predict the weather, but they are much more sensitive to changes in barometric pressure than humans are. As a result, they have learned how to recognize as low pressure systems are approaching from a long way off. So do a number of other local critters. On the cusp of an approaching storm, frogs will typically croak louder and longer than usual. Crickets will exhibit the opposite behavior, chirping less often and more quietly. Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Low pressure also causes noises to carry further Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net. and thus, the notes of a song bird will be sharper and a loon’s laughter will sound louder, and the echoes will travel further in the night air. Other recognizable signs of an approaching low pressure system will be evident when birds fly lower to the water to feed on the insect hatches that often occur. Trout will rise more readily, sometimes leaping entirely out of the water to pick off insects that are just hatching. The appearance of flies such as the Blue Wing Still and calm waters, such at these on Barnum Pond, may accompany either a high or a low presOlive is usually an indi- sure system. However, the old rhyme, 'Red sky at night, sailor's delight' is generally accepted as cation of an approach- a reliable indication of fair weather conditions soon to follow. ing low pressure sysPhoto by Joe Hackett
wenty-five years ago, the Chinese government started a bass stocking program to meet the growing food needs of its people. As the Internet developed and provided a glimpse of the world outside the borders of the country, Chinese youth discovered recreational bass fishing. Internet coverage of big money bass tournaments in the United States fueled the next logical step in bass fishing in China – bass tournaments. Though still in its infancy compared to the big-time American bass tournaments, Chinese tournament bass fishing is catching on. The By Howard Hammonds FLW has seen the opportunity for future business development by assisting in the growth of fishing tournaments in China. A population in excess of 1.5 billion offers a future of tremendous growth. During the recent FLW Major tournament on Lake Champlain, I had the opportunity to be the camera boat driver for a group of Chinese bass fishermen and their camera crew. Several months ago, the Happy Fishing Channel, a 24-hour Chinese fishing network, ran a series of FLW affiliated bass tournaments in China. The grand prize was an all-expense-paid trip to the United States to compete as a co-angler in the FLW Major tournament on Lake Champlain. The winner, Wang Zhan, and his film crew arrived in Plattsburgh the Monday before the tournament. The takeoff Thursday morning would be his first opportunity to be on Lake Champlain. The buzz among the FLW Pros was how successful a relative beginner could be against the seasoned American tournament anglers. In the FLW tournaments, the co-angler fishes from the back deck of the bass boat and for the most part fish “used water” behind the pros. Not speaking any English, Wang wasn’t able to obtain much info from his first day pro partner, Darrel Robertson of Jay, Oklahoma. Words can’t describe the look on Darrel’s face when he met his first-day partner - non-English speaking Wang, competing in his first tournament. Nor Pictured is Chinese angler Whan Zhan. Photo courtesy of FLW Outdoors did Robertson know whether his Chinese partner understood the rules — all with a $125,000 payday on the line for Robertson. Darrel is a very successful FLW angler and has won over $1,700,000 in his career. He is also a big-time Oklahoma cattle rancher. But he is probably the easiest going and calmest fisherman on the planet — a great draw for Wang. The next morning, after several last-minute instructions, the tournament took off with me and the Happy Fishing camera crew following Wang and Darrel in my boat at breakneck speeds. The Chinese fish from small aluminum boats with electric motors, not the high powered rockets of the American professional bass fisherman. After a 15-mile roller coaster boat ride from Plattsburgh and much hooting and hollering in Chinese by my passengers, we arrived at Wang and Darrell’s first fishing location. Apparently, none of the Chinese delegation had ever been 60-plus mph in a bass boat before. Let the fishing begin. I positioned my boat 20 yards away from Wang and Darrell, allowing the camera crew to film the action. Now, watching someone else fish is worse than watching paint dry. Every cast when you are fishing is made with anticipation, but when watching someone else do the same, it’s just plain boring — that is, until someone catches a fish. Thank goodness, two minutes in and Darrel catches a bass and then another one, both keepers. It’s on and Wang is down in the boat looking for lures. Come-on Man! This isn’t going to be pretty, but at last he’s ready and fishing and - Wow - he catches one, about a two-pound largemouth. Great, after many photos by the Happy Fishing camera crew he’s back fishing and right away catches another one. Hey, this is fun! The rookie is catching them. Again another one, now Darrel is looking over his shoulder, another one and this one is big! Then a double, Darrel with one and Wang another one at the same time. “Great net job Wang!” I yell. So much for paint drying. Darrel’s isn’t a keeper, now he’s down three to two. It gets worse - two more for Wang in the next 10 minutes, he has a limit. “Oh, Darrel! You’re the pro not a guide,” I jab him. Darrel’s now shaking his head, he looks at me and shrugs and yells, “This kid is good.” Time for Darrel to bear down and he does with a couple small keepers. The pressure’s turned off and so do the fish — now we’re back to paint drying. For a fisherman who is 36 and only has been fishing 6 years, Wang is very talented. Smooth at casting and working his lures. I wish I could report that he blew away the field, but he didn’t. The luck of the draw has a lot to do with a co-angler ’s success. Wang finished 74 out of 127 competitors for the two days. Not a bad first tournament. But Wang built memories for a life time - his first trip to the USA, his first American bass tournament, and getting to meet his hero Gary Yamamoto, who was last year ’s runner-up on Lake Champlain. Gary is to Asian fisherman what Bill Dance is to American fisherman. Great memories. Just when I think I have seen and heard it all in fishing, along come the Chinese. Szechuan Bass anyone?
