Essex Co. closer to sales tax increase

This Week TOP CITIZEN

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN —A bill which would allow Essex County to increase their sales tax revenues by one-quarter of a percent now sits on the desk of Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Both the New York State Senate and Assembly last week passed home rule law that would allow Essex County to increase their sales tax from 3.75 to 4.0 percent, making a total combined sales tax of 8 percent for county residents.

At the Ways and Means Committee meeting June 24, County Manager Daniel Palmer said that the only thing that the county is waiting on is the signature of the governor.

“That is the only hurdle that is left to clear, and Randy (Douglas, Jay Supervisor and Board of Supervisors Chair) has said he feels confident he will do so,” Palmer said.

Palmer said that the increase one-quarter percent would represent nearly $2 million in additional revenue for the county.

This was desperately needed to increase our revenues without going onto the property tax,” Douglas said last week. “Dan Manning, Dan Palmer and Mike Diskin, worked hard on this package.”

Earlier in the year, Douglas made the sales tax increase a priority in his lobbying efforts to state officials, including Cuomo.

“I am very proud of the lobbying efforts on behalf of Essex County, explaining our CONTINUED ON PAGE 27

ALBANY — Several local recreation sites will be receiving funding to support outdoor recreation improvement projects over the summer, according to the office of Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

On June 24, Cuomo announced more than $17 million in upgrades to improve recreation areas located on public lands, including campgrounds, day use areas, trails and boat launches. The Eastern Adirondacks region will receive $11,294,847.

Among the projects are those which will facilitate public access to the former Finch lands along the Hudson River between Newcomb and Indian Lake this summer and into the Essex Chain Lakes Tract this fall. These projects will make it easier for residents and tourists to access the 7,200 acres of Forest Preserve lands.

The Finch land improvements include: •kiosks and signs at Newcomb Town Beach, Iron Bridge, Deer Pond Outer Gooley Parking area, Route 28N, Goodnow Flow Road and Town Beach Road; •the construction of a 12-car parking lot on Indian Lake Road for Squaw Lake access;

Pat Cuzzacrea named Minerva Citizen of the Year

By McKenna Kelly

DINING

& E E N N T T E E R R T T A A II N N M M E E N N T T

MINERVA — The town of Minerva has bestowed with Pat Cuzzacrea its “Citizen of the Year” award.

Cuzzacrea volunteers her time at the Minerva meal site, where she provided freshly prepared food to community members who need it.

The meal site opened in 1985, and Cuzzacrea has been there since its inception. It was not something she originally considered doing. The supervisor at the time, Fred Morse, called her out of the blue to ask if she wanted to help out.

Cuzzacrea reluctantly agreed; she was unaware the meal site would become such an important part of her life.

“We’re sort of a family,” she said.

Sometimes there’s frustration or disagreements, but in the end they always remain friends. The meal site isn’t just about food, after all. It’s a close-knit group of individuals that fulfills just as many social needs as it does nutritional ones. For the individuals who no longer have family of their own, it’s become their family away from home. Cuzzacrea embraces the social aspect of her work and organizes meal site events to promote it. Last year she hosted a picnic at the beach with more than 50 people in attendance.

Sometimes things are all fun, however. With a primarily elderly clientele, the meal site has seen many of its patrons pass on. Cuzzacrea isn’t sure how many of the people she’s served have died, but thinks it’s at least 100. She doesn’t want to call that a drawback, though, as much as a sad inevitability. She’s made many fond memories, which she recalled with affectionate laughter. She described one incident

Krebs to exhibit oil paintings at Tannery Pond starting July 29

NORTH CREEK — Betsey Krebs will be showing a collection of landscapes, generated on location from our beautiful Hudson watershed area, all work is done in oil and on canvas or canvas board.

Krebs will also be show-

when an attractive young police officer came to the town hall during meal time. He was trying to deliver some paperwork. The late Anna Korman stood up with her arms outstretched and shouted — “You can frisk me!” — to the thoroughly embarrassed officer.

Cuzzacrea says she still can’t believe she’s been chosen as the Citizen of the Year. She wasn’t prepared at all for it. She was in the middle of a nighttime meal when Nancy Shaw stopped by to make an announcement, and almost left the room before Shaw pulled her aside and made her stay.

“It was a nice surprise,” Cuzzacrea said.

Prior to her work at the meal site, Cuzzacrea owned and operated the Minerva Hill lodge.

She and her husband started the business in 1978, after they moved to Minerva from Lockport. They originally came to the area to visit friends and to buy a dog, and ended up liking it so much that they made Minerva their home.

Dogs are an important part of Cuzzacrea’s life. She breeds Spinoni Italiano, an Italian hunting dog. She currently owns three females — Mia, Lilly, and Nicolina. Cuzzacrea has been breeding them for just about 17 years. She originally chose the breed because of its novelty; at the time there were only 500 Spinoni total in the U.S. They’re a versatile breed, specializing in birds, with the ability to point, retrieve, and swim. Working with the dogs has inspired Cuzzacrea to try a bit of hunting herself.

“Once you see them do what they’re bred to do, it’s so exciting,” she said.

Cuzzacrea and her husband volunteer with youth hunting groups based in Putnam. Her other hobbies include shooting skeet, gardening, and spending time with her three granddaughters.

ing oil paintings of water and boats from this area, as well as portraits and images of chickens, strange but true.

Krebs lives and teaches painting out of the Old Stone School House in Lake George, New York. She also teaches at Queensbury High School, has been there 30 years. She loves teaching and painting and hopes everyone enjoys her interpretation of our wonderful

Adirondacks.

ILCS celebrates the graduation of 20 students

By Bill Quinlivan

newsenterprise@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE — High school graduation is an excellent time for seniors to stop and look back on just how far they have come — a time to celebrate successes and reflect on what has been learned from mistakes. The June 22 graduation at Indian Lake Central School was just such an occasion.

The ceremony kicked off with a video that first celebrated the history of the Class of 2013 and then transitioned into the lives of the individual graduates. It was literally like watching the class and the individual students grow up

right before the eyes of family and friends in attendance.

Salutatorian Sydney Stearns Hinckley addressed the graduates and attendees with an interesting analogy between the life of Marilyn Monroe and the nature of the Class of 2013.

Hinkley pointed to the ups and downs of the life of Marilyn being analogous to the successes and setbacks of the graduating class through the years. She made the point that each made the class stronger and wiser.

Valedictorian Morgan Lena King focused on the special closeness of growing up in a small town and how it meant that each of the 20 graduates had the privilege of knowing each

22729

other in a way that was not possible in a larger environment and the sense of community that it spawned amongst the class members.

She closed her address by remarking how she looked forward to remaining close with each of her fellow graduates and being truly excited over learning what each were going to do with their lives.

The graduates then assembled at the foot of the stage and performed a moving rendition of a song entitled “Home.” Afterward, School Superintendent Mark Brand began his address by focusing attention on and appreciation for the parents, teachers, advisers and PTSO members, who were so instrumental in making the graduation of these 20 students possible. He drew distinction of the differences between the lives of students today with those who, like him, went through high school in the early 1970s. Of course the differences were astounding given the inroads of technology and social media, but he also focused on the similarities in the goals and dreams of the students in both eras.

Brand went on to make special mention of this past year’s budgeting challenges and sent out a “thank you” to all those who wrote letters and made phone calls, contributing to the successful reinstatement of state funding in this years budget. In looking to the future, he envisioned the possibility that school funding will become less and less dependent on real estate taxes.

Brand closed his address by announcing that the members of the ILCS graduating class of 2013 were officially high school graduates in the eyes of the state of New York. This announcement was met with great joy and applause.

The remainder of the ceremonies saw some 40-plus awards and scholarships bestowed on the 20 graduates. Many of these were the gifts of community organizations. At the close of the award segment, the graduates were each presented with their respective diplomas by Mr. Brand and Jon Voorhees, President of the Indian Lake Board of Education. Afterwards, the graduates proceed to a day of honoring their accomplishment with family and friends and the excitement of commencing of the rest of their lives.

Minerva Central School says goodbye to Class of 2013

By McKenna Kelly

newsenterprise@denpubs. com MINERVA — Minerva Central School graduated 12 on Friday, June 21 with Patsy Sullivan delivering the commencement speech.

The school also honored School Board President Michael Corey and third grade teacher Patti Gonyo, who are retiring from their positions.

In her opening speech, the Class of 2013 salutatorian Aleynah Gardinier compared her graduation to a kaleidoscope, a jumble of images and memories past. Her metaphor carried through the rest of the ceremony, which was filled with stories and anecdotes about the graduates’ time together at Minerva.

Sullivan, who taught art at MCS until 2010, had many fond memories to fill the kaleidoscope. This year’s graduates were the last high school class she taught before she retired. In her commencement speech, she recalled the unconventional relationship she had with them as ninth graders, trying to teach art history.

Friday doughnuts and what one student dubbed “random dance parties” helped Sullivan bond with the class while trying to teach art history, a memory which both she and the Class of 2013 held quite dear.

“I loved their energy and quiet resolve,” Sullivan recalled. She went on to describe how the times in which we grow up shape us, drawing on her experiences during the 1960s — characterized by

desires for peaceful change — and wondering what the future of a group that grew up in an age of corporate greed and terrorism might hold. Most of all, Sullivan wanted to make sure that the graduates “lived a life with purpose.” She drew upon advice from a book, “I Will Not Die an Unlived Life,”

by Dawna Markova, to try and set the students on that path.

Sullivan illustrated the point with a wooden sculpture that spelled out “Live,” which she broke down into four components; “L” for love, “I” for inner gifts, “V” for values, and “E” for the environments that bring out our best. She challenged the students to take those aspects of their lives and share them with the world.

Valedictorian Austin Williams also delivered a speech.

He drew inspiration from the concept of “ohana,” a keyword in the Disney movie, “Lilo and Stitch.” According to the film, “Ohana means family, and family means no one gets left behind or forgotten.” Williams said he and his classmates were definitely a family, and that he would never forget the special traits each one of them embodied. Williams highlighted individual strengths for each of his classmates, framed in stories of their experiences together. He was quick to praise the sense of humor the group shared and all of the jokes and laughs that defined their high school career.

“We really are a little family,” Williams insisted, “and I’ll carry my memories of you with me forever.”

In his closing remarks, Su-

perintendent Timothy Farrell gave special recognition to retirees Michael Corey and Patty Gonyo. Corey served on the School Board for 14 years, most recently as board president. Gonyo taught at

the school for 31 years, first as a kindergarten teacher and then during the third grade.

She received a standing ovation from the audience during her farewell speech. Gonyo ended the ceremony with her

favorite memory from teaching Class of 2013; when the class dressed up as their opposite sex parents for MCS’s Irish Pride Week. She thought the boys made the prettiest mothers in the entire world.

Minerva Day ‘Pant, Pedal, Paddle’ competition coming June 29

MINERVA — The Minerva Day Pant, Pedal, Paddle contest will be held Saturday, June 29, starting at 9:30 a.m.

It’s not too late to fill out an entry form and get your team together for this event, which is sponsored by the Minerva Service Organization (MSO). Teams ranging from one “Ironperson” participant to four teammates competed in what is essentially a triathlon involving the running of feet, the pedaling of bikes, and the paddling of small watercraft. A dedicated committee of MSO members has been actively planning the event for the past few months.

The race has a shotgun-style start (no actual weaponry used) beginning with the 3.4-mile run at the Olmstedville dam, continuing with a 10.4-mile bike pedaling, and ending with an approximately 3.7-mile canoe or kayak (your choice) paddle, ending back at the Olmstedville Dam, where cheering fans will be present to welcome the paddlers. Food and beverages will be available at the dam for participants and supporters. There will be two water stations.

For a $20 entry fee, your team can participate in this event, which involves cash prizes for the top-placing teams, along with T-shirts for all team members. The race is not only about the fun of competing; it’s also about enjoying the beauty of running along Trout Brook Road, biking the Trout Brook and Hoffman Roads, and of course paddling down beautiful Minerva Stream, beaver dams and all. For more information, call 251-5141.

Celebrating the rich Free Community Newspaper history of our region T

W

arren County, as well as the entire Adirondacks, is blessed with pristine waterways, looming mountains, and lush woodlands.

For hundreds of years, these natural attributes have attracted people to put down roots here — at first the Native Americans, followed by colonial settlers, and now, those who seek challenge, inspiration or tranquility in nature.

The Adirondack region’s rich resources and strategic natural location prompted battles between British and colonial Americans against the French and their Native American allies, with the domination of the entire Hudson Valley in balance. The area played a key role in American history.

Settlers of this fertile, productive land were industrious, devising ways to develop the natural resources as they carved out a living for their families in this wild territory. In 1783, the lower Adirondacks region was named Washington County, the first county in the new nation to be named to honor the Revolutionary War hero George Washington.

Thirty years later, Warren County was carved out of the regional municipality — officially founded March 12, 1813. The new entity was named after Revolutionary War hero General Joseph Warren, a physician and American patriot who served as president of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress. Joseph Warren, fighting alongside footsoldiers despite his rank, died in the Battle of Bunker Hill at age 34.

In the decades that followed, more and more people were attracted to the region for its remarkable attributes.

The resourcefulness and resilience of these homesteaders was remarkable, as they dealt with challenges that nearly defy our comprehension today.

Entrepreneurs utilized the area’s vast natural resources — harnessing waterpower, harvesting timber, and mining minerals — founding industries that were formative in shaping the new nation.

Over the next 200 years, the area produced innovators in the arts and sciences and visionary leaders in politics and industry — who exerted substantial impact on society.

This year, area residents have been celebrating the bicentennial of Warren County. At 6 p.m.

March 12, church bells rang out around the county in honor of the 200th anniversary.

This next week, the town of Warrensburg will be hosting a festive event on July 4 to observe both the county and the town’s bicentennial.

On June 12, county leaders gathered in the old County Courthouse in Lake George, holding a ceremonial meeting that celebrated the rich, influential history of Warren County.

Through these events, we are not only hailing the political demarcation of our county, but paying tribute to the ingenuity, vision and resourcefulness of all those who shaped our region during those 200 years.

The staff of Denton Publications, committed to our vital role in area communities, congratulate those who have planned these events — municipal historians and volunteers throughout the county — all of whom were vital in celebrating the attributes of people who were formative in our area’s history. „

Gore Region Chamber celebrates creative entrepreneurship Judy Brown Citizen of Year, Izzy’s Market Business of Year

By Phil Sherotov

newsenterprise@denpubs.com NORTH RIVER — The common theme among speakers at the June 20 Gore Mountain Region Chamber of Commerce’s annual dinner at the Garnet Hill Lodge was the crucial role of creativity and entrepreneurship in building a healthy economy and in the Adirondack Park.

“The basic point of my talk is that I believe we are living through the scariest and most exciting time in the history of the Adirondack Park,” said guest speaker Brian Mann, the Adirondack Bureau Chief for North Country Public Radio.

Mann, who lives in Saranac Lake, has been living and reporting in the Park for 14 years and began his career as a journalist working in Alaska. He explained that throughout rural America, economic growth and prosperity has traditionally been tied to land development. However, over the past 40 years, the restrictions on development rights in the Park had been counterbalanced by state jobs and monies in the form of grants and aid.

This amounts to a tacit “social contract” that has broken down since the state’s fiscal troubles, beginning in 2008 and 2009, he said. Since then, many state and municipal jobs have been eliminated, shrinking school budgets have cost many teachers their jobs, and competition for available grants and aid has increased as the money has decreased.

“The necessity of coming up with alternative ways to prosper and grow is breeding remarkable creativity as new types of business flourish, and this is what makes this such an exciting, hopeful time for the Park,” Mann said. “Business owners are working hard to build an economy on the wild, beautiful spaces that surround them.”

It’s a positive sign to see how many entrepreneurs are willing to risk capital by developing new businesses in the Park, Mann said.

One such business, Izzy’s Market & Deli, was awarded the 2013 Business of the Year by the Gore Mountain Region Chamber of Commerce. They opened on May 25, 2012 and are located on Main Street in North Creek.

“It’s hard to believe they’ve only been open one year. What did we ever do without them? I can’t imagine them not being here,” said Chamber President Lisa Salamon while introducing

the award. “They remember their customers and greet them by name. You can always count on a warm welcome. Where else can you find puttanesca sauce around here?”

Izzy’s offers a wide range of gourmet deli foods and market products, including fresh-baked breads, bagels, breakfast and lunch sandwiches, and craft beers. Kathy and David Waite, the owners of Izzy’s, named their business after their daughter, Isabelle. Kathy noted that they actually carry four varieties of the puttanesca sauce that Salamon mentioned.

“They keys to our success have been the overwhelming support from our amazing community, including second home owners, our great staff, a very successful ski season at Gore Mountain, and the Saratoga & North Creek Railway,” said Waite.

“We’re always looking for ways to keep it fresh and unique, to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations. Our community is really about relationships and supporting each other. We’re excited and looking forward to another great year,” Waite said while accepting the award with her husband.

Judy Brown was awarded the Henry Hudson Barton Citizen of the Year Award. Brown, who had spent 25 years in Glens Falls with her husband and raised their family before deciding to return, has been extremely active in the community.

She voluntarily manages the gardens at the Ski Bowl and Gore Mountain, is head of the Outreach Center, volunteers as a ski patroller at Gore, is a wildlife rehabilitator and the invasive plant coordinator for the area, and runs Garnet Studio in North River.

Salamon noted that the evening provided “a rare sighting of Judy sitting down.”

The North Creek Depot Museum received a Special Recognition Award. Salamon explained that since they are a non-profit business they had to create a special award, although next year they plan to add non-profits as an award category.

Helen Miner accepted the award on behalf of the museum.

She praised the tireless work of the all-volunteer staff who help maintain and preserve the site.

“This little museum is the foundation of North Creek,” Miner said. “It’s listed on the State and National Registrar of Historic Places. It’s where Theodore Roosevelt learned that he had become president, and one of the few depots in the country that is still standing.”

“The comments that visitors leave in our guestbook express how inspired and impressed they are with what we are doing, and I can’t emphasize enough how much these comments mean to all of us and that it wouldn’t be possible to have our museum without all our volunteers” said Miner.

Catwalk in the Creek slated for June 28 NORTH CREEK — If you missed the Catwalk in the Creek fundraiser last summer, don’t make the same mistake twice.

On Friday June 28 at 6 p.m., the North Creek Business Alliance is hosting this unique community fashion show at Riverside Park at Railroad Place. More than a dozen businesses are participating to showcase their clothing and apparel modeled by local citizens.

“This year’s event is raising money for the arts in the community,” said Anna

Bowers, a coordinator of the event. “Proceeds will be donated to the Tannery Pond Community Center and the North Creek Mosaic Project.”

A silent auction with donations from area businesses will start at 6 p.m., and the catwalk begins at 6:30. It will be emceed by Emily Stanton.

The coordinators of the event graciously thank all of the volunteers and businesses supporting the event, including Creative Stage Lighting for the runway

lights, Brian Conway for the music, and Noah Howard for designing the remarkable posters.

Ticket price is $15 and includes drink tickets, appetizers, and entertainment.

“We all had such a great time last year and were thrilled with the attendance. It gives the community businesses an opportunity to have fun with the concept while advertising their merchandise,” said Bowers.

ummer has finally arrived along with a lot of blackflies and gnats. Also really heavy downpours and thunderstorms. The foliage is really heavy whereever you travel, and wildflowers are in full bloom. The road crews have been busy with washouts.

So many graduation parties over the weekend. Congratulations as you start your new life away from high school.

David Cleveland was taken to Glens Falls Hospital where he will spend a few days for testing. Rollin Swinton was able to come home on Friday only to be taken back to Glens Falls on Saturday. More testing also for him. Lucy Persons had cataract surgery on Monday. She is still in rehab at Tri-County. Muriel LaPointe was able to come home after being in Glens Falls Hospital.

Sorry to hear that Mulvena Russell, Bill Durkin and Jordan Steele passed away recently. Remember the families in prayer and thoughts.

Alonzo Conlon and sons, Aaron and Ian enjoyed spending the weekend with friends near Boonville.

This time of year, with school coming to a close for the summer, I think of the time when I spent at District Number 7 on the Edwards Hill Road. Fred and I went to school with Gene and Gerie Morehouse’s children and Shirley Andres and some of Carl and Merna Cleveland’s children.

They all left to go to JCS. Mom and Dad still had Fred and me go to the one room school with teacher Nellie Ross. I will never forget the day Mr. Walton came to tell Mom that the school could no longer be open for only two students.

How it broke mom’s heart. So many had attended District Number 7. Mom kept Fred and me home for a week before giving in and letting us attend JCS. Many memories at the small school. How many of us would want to share the dipper with all our class mates now? We all love to read about all the Little School Houses that were in the area.

Happy Birthday to: Mavis Miller, Esther Hill, Elizabeth Nevins, Myrtle Rist, Johnny Houser Jr., Kathy Smith Templeton, Melissa Allen, Eric Persons, Rhonda Coleman Galarza and Amy Russell.

Happy Anniversary to: Greg and Mary Nevins, Bill and Connie Warner, Rollie and Shirley Cleveland, Fred and Ruth Allen, Ed and Debbie Aldous.

Mill Creek Musings

By Jan Nickerson

I

t is human nature to think that the grass is greener on the other side … of the fence … of the country … of the Pond. From a distance the neighbor’s lawn appears weed free. Some Easterners, on a winter’s day when all the leaves are brown and the sky is gray, are California dreaming. They want to go to San Francisco, see the Golden Gate Bridge and dip their toes in the Pacific Ocean.

Likewise, some folks on the West Coast are attracted to New York City with its Times Square and Great White Way. There’s a mystique about Ireland, its plentiful rainfall and green grass. I had the privilege of visiting Ireland last week. I can attest to the fact that it rained more in Wevertown because my grass is as green as any I saw on the Emerald Isle.

My maiden name was McClasky, and I’ve always hoped that I had a wee bit of Irish in me. 2013 is being promoted in Ireland as the year of “The Gathering.” I loved the old towns, narrow roads, beautiful scenery and the warmth of the people, the lilt of their speech and accents.

My favorite place was Dunmore by the Sea, a quaint fishing village where we visited an old pub with a thatched roof. The entertainer played guitar and sang many familiar Irish songs plus one that was new to me called “The Voyage” — “Life is an ocean, love is a boat. In troubled waters it keeps us afloat.”

I’ll close with an Irish blessing: Wherever you go, whatever you do May the luck of the Irish be there with you.

JCS commencement focuses on community, hard work

By Phil Sherotov

newsenterprise@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — The theme of the commencement ceremony for Johnsburg Central School’s class of 2013 was the importance of community and hard work.

Guest speaker Jaime Fuller, a JCS class of 2007 graduate, went on to earn a degree from Middlebury College, and now lives and works in Washington, D.C. She is currently an associate editor at The American Prospect.

“It feels strange being up here just six years after graduating myself,” Fuller said. “What I can share with you is that over the next few years you will have a lot of new experiences and meet a lot of new people. Try to absorb as much as you can from every situation.”

At the same time, Fuller urged students not to forget Johnsburg.

“Ernest Hemingway once said that Paris was a ‘moveable feast’ because if you were lucky enough to spend time in Paris as a young person, then wherever you go afterwards, for the rest of your life, it will stay with you,” Fuller said. “Well, Johnsburg is a moveable feast, too.

Even though I live far away, and only get to visit twice a year, I’m always telling people stories from growing up here.”

“I encourage all of you to explore because it’s a big world out there, but don’t forget Johnsburg,” Fuller said.

Salutatorian Shannon Ovitt, was graduating as a member of the National Honor Society, with an Advanced Regents Diploma, and achieved Mastery in Science (received 85 or higher on three Science Regents exams).

“People always talk about opportunity as if it’s something that just happens for some,” said Ovitt. “I believe that opportunity is there for everybody, but that it takes action to make it a reality.”

She explained how enjoying an amazing class trip first required her to sign up for an elective class and work during the summer to save money—all actions that she had to take responsibility for.

“Be nice to people,” Ovitt said. “Whether, it’s making the most of any situation or in applying for a job, you get back what you give. I want to thank everyone here at Johnsburg for all the opportunities for success that were made available to me.”

Valedictorian Kayla Williford shared with the audience her experience of overcoming speech difficulties in school.

“While most students in fourth grade were reading fluently, I was still struggling with basic sounds,” said Williford. “It would take hours and years of hard work before I didn’t have to leave class to take a test.”

It was the combination of her own hard work and the support of her parents and teachers that helped overcome her difficulty.

“If someone had told my parents that a few years later, I would be standing up before my whole class and giving a speech as valedictorian, they wouldn’t have believed them, but here I am, doing just that,” she said.

Wall of Fame

Superintendent Michael Markwica told the audience that they were starting a new tradition this year. They would be celebrating past alumni for outstanding achievements. These alumni would be listed on a Wall of Fame and receive certificates of recognition. Each awardee would be asked to share a piece of advice with the graduating class. Below are the selected alumni for 2013: •Daniel F. O’Keefe, MD. Class of 1938. His advice: “Family first, Faith, and Hard Work.”

•Gene Arsenault. Class of 1964. His advice: “Try to live your life and be kind, thoughtful, and considerate toward others. That’s really what’s important to me. There are always people of need that you can help.”

•Mary Jordan Nevins, M.D. Class of 1981.

Her advice: “I make sure I laugh every day. I try to treat people with respect and compassion. I accept challenges as opportunities to learn and grow, both personally and professionally.”

•Robert Wing. Class of 1990. His advice: “Surround yourself with very positive people.”

•Staff Sgt. Kevin Kimmerly. Class of 1991.

His advice: He believed in helping others, in selflessness, and leading by example. Kimmerly who was assigned to the B Battery, Fourth of the 27th Field Artillery regiment of the 1st Armored Division, U.S. Army, was killed in action in 2003.

Samuel Allison received a special certificate of recognition. He taught at JCS for 34 years.

He was hired as an elementary school teacher in 1962 and retired in 1995. He also coached Varsity and Modified Soccer; JV and Modified Baseball; Modified Basketball; and Elementary Basketball and Soccer during his 40 years of coaching at JCS. As Varsity Soccer coach, he led his teams to 10 league championships and eight sectional championships, and in 1982, a state co-championship. His advice to the graduating seniors was, “Make every day your masterpiece.”

Senate confirms appointments for APA, ORDA

Thomas, Broderick, Flacke appointed

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com ALBANY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo last week announced the New York Senate’s confirmation of his appointments to a number of state agencies and authorities, including the Adirondack Park Agency and Olympic Regional Development Authority.

On June 19, he announced that Leilani Crafts Ulrich will serve a second term as the APA chairwoman.

“When I took office, I pledged to restore integrity and performance in state government,” Governor Cuomo said. “To fulfill that pledge, my administration has worked to recruit the finest candidates to work for New Yorkers. These individuals bring valuable knowledge and experience to all areas of government that affect the public, from transportation to housing to insurance to the arts. I congratulate them on their confirmations and now let’s get to work.”

Ulrich, of Old Forge, was first appointed to the APA Board in 2004. She chaired the Board’s Regulatory Programs and Park

Ecology committees before being nominated as the Agency’s first chairwoman by Gov. Cuomo in November of 2011. Ulrich is a dedicated advocate for environmental issues, having previously studied responses to climate change, energy conservation and forestry management practices. She is a past Board member of the Adirondack Community Housing Trust and served on the NYS delegation to the four-state Northern Forest Center’s Sustainable Economies Initiative.

On June 20, Cuomo announced Senate confirmation of four other APA commissioners. The terms of William Thomas, of North Creek, and Arthur Lussi, of Lake Placid, were renewed.

And the APA will welcome two new commissioners: Daniel Wilt, a businessman from Lake Pleasant, who will replace Frank Mezzano, of Speculator; and Karen Feldman, a lawyer from Hudson who will replace Cecil Wray, of New York City, for an out-of-park seat.

The APA Board consists of 11 members — five commissioners from inside the Adirondack Park (Thomas, Lussi, Ulrich, Wilt and Sherman Craig); three commissioners from outside the Adirondack Park (Feldman, Richard Booth and Bill Valentino); and the commissioners of the state Department of Environmen-

tal Conservation, Department of State, and Department of Economic Development, all represented on the Board by designees — Dierdre Scozzafava (DOS), Bob Stegeman and Judy Drabicki (DEC), and Jennifer McCormick (DED).

ORDA

The Senate confirmation of ORDA appointments spelled good news for North Creek, home of the ORDA-operated Gore Mountain Ski Center.

Robert Francis Flacke, who has been serving as the Warren County representative on the ORDA Board, was reappointed.

And Jill Ruhm Broderick, owner of Broderick Real Estate in North Creek, was appointed to the Board for the first time.

In addition, J. Patrick Barrett will continue serving as ORDA Chair. He is chairman and CEO of CARPAT Investments, a private investment company. Previously, he was chairman and CEO of Avis.

“I am pleased to welcome this distinguished group of men and women to our administration,” Gov. Cuomo said. “Their experience and commitment to public service will enhance our efforts to make government work for all New Yorkers. I congratulate them on their confirmations.”

French & Indian War re-enactors, Legionnaires and a bagpiper lead Warren County officials into the Old County Courthouse in Lake George for the signature celebration of the county’s Bicentennial held June 12 in Lake George Village, where local government matters were conducted for about 150 years. More bicentennial events will be held throughout the county this summer, including a few next week. A few towns will be dressing up their Independence Day events with a bicentennial flare. The town of Warrensburg — which is also celebrating its own bicentennial in 2013 — will be hosting a July 4 party with a parade, music, vendors, games and more starting at 11 a.m. The town of Johnsburg is highlighting the bicentennial during its Independence Day celebration on Saturday, July 6 with a parade down Main Street in North Creek starting at 11 a.m. and a festival at the Ski Bowl Park starting at noon. And the town of Chester will mark the bicentennial on July 6 with its annual Summerfest event starting at noon in Chestertown.

Take advantage of all June has to offer

Small streams filled with wild brook trout are the answer to an angler’s dreams. There are very few places in the Northeast where such wonderful angling conditions exist; and most anglers don’t even realize they can be found just down the road.

J

une has always been a great month for outdoor travelers, and especially for kids. It is a month that has delivered freedom from the daily drudgery of schoolwork, as it ushers the exhilaration that arrives with the prospect of a long summer’s vacation.

June of 2013 has also been a unique month, bringing with it a total of five complete weekends, rather than the usual four. In fact, most students only toiled for a total of 20 days during the month of June, 2013, compared to an average of 23 or 24 days in a typical month of school.

For the seniors, June of ‘13 signaled the end of their high school career.

In addition to breaking loose from the educational calaboose, the month of June also delivers the opening day of Bass season, and a weekend of free fishing on any public waters in New York state.

The free fishing weekend arrives Saturday, June 2930. It provides an ideal opportunity for Mom, Dad or a friendly Uncle to get the kids outside and introduce them to an entertainment system that does not require batteries or an electrical outlet. A fishing pole is the best X-Box Detox tool ever invented. With a big fish on the end of a fishing rod, most kids realize it is safe to leave the electronic entertainment at home.

Any child who grows up in the Adirondacks without the proper equipment and the knowledge of how to enjoy the local woods and waters is at a severe disadvantage.

Likewise, any parent who fails to provide a child with the proper equipment and the knowledge of where and how to use it, is guilty of recreational neglect.

In many of our local communities, there are precious few recreational opportunities for our youth. There are very few safe or appropriate “hangouts.”

For many years, every local town had a small diner that a served as a gathering place. There were also movie theaters, snack bars and other such places.

Sadly, the current generation has few of the traditional hangouts left. In many towns, the only business with the lights on after 8 p.m. is the local Stewarts Shop.

Fortunately, Stewarts Shops also sell gas, so teenagers can still get around in their cars. But with the lack of a familiar hangout, many have no place to go.

I speak from experience when I say there is nothing more dangerous than a bored teenager. If they can’t find trouble, trouble will find them. It is a natural instinct, and it is evident in all wild species, not just human teenagers or juveniles as they are referred to in the animal kingdom.

Juveniles, whether they are raccoons, eagles, bears or Billy who lives just down the street, are unpredictable.

In most cases, their brains are not fully developed, even if their bodies apparently have.

Similar to their distant cousins in the animal kingdom, human adolescents are highly susceptible to dangerous, pack behavior. Their brains are not capable of recognizing or comprehending risks. And yet the troubles can be equally dangerous for either species.

In the wild, just as at home, juveniles often exhibit a tendency to wander, and explore, and trouble is usually just a short distance away.

Whether the trouble comes from an immature bear marauding through a campground, or a couple of young geese wandering off from the flock, the potential for trouble is as omnipresent as a young man in a fast car zooming down a country road in the dark of night.

Parents wlll do their best to keep their kids safe.

Cautious does will hide their fawns in the tall ferns, while they wander off looking for food, just as a mother goose will tend to a tidy flock, as they travel in a straight

line behind her, and her mate.

Bear cubs can be just as adventuresome, until their mother cuffs one of them upside of the head. Immediately, they learn to pay attention to mom. If human mother’s had such resolve, there would be far less trouble in modern society.

I never cease to marvel at the awkward aeronautics of fledgling birds.

Flying is one of the activities where it surely pays to pay attention to mom. It is often a feathered equivalent of watching a teenager walk face first into a closed door without even attempting to open it.

The entertainment isn’t always pretty to watch, especially when it involves prey.

I once witnessed a raccoon devour a nest full of young robins, despite the mother’s best effort to ward it off. It was heart rendering to hear her calls, and to watch as the raccoon climbed down the tree to scavenge the lone bird that had escaped the initial attack.

All the frantic mother bird could do was watch the danger from a safe distance, and scold the raccoon. The parallels to a human family in distress were eerily similar, and equally disturbing.

Whether for bass or trout, it is the time to get out

Anglers looking to get out this weekend will find a variety of water conditions, ranging from high to very high.

The recent rains have kept most local waters running at spring levels or above.

Currently, the Saranac Lakes are at spring levels, forcing many lakeside residents to wear hip boots to get to their docks.

I spent the weekend fishing on the lakes, and on the small streams and beaver dam ponds.

The big lakes offered up plenty of bass and a few pike, while the beaver dams were equally productive with brook trout devouring flies as fast as I could cast them.

Smallmouth bass were all over the Gary Yamamoto Senkos we tossed on the rocky shoals, and pike were willing to chase buzz baits or surface lures with an equal lack of abandon.

On the small streams, brook trout were hesitant to take dry flies on the sunny days, but they quickly turned on during the low light of dusk.

In one particularly productive outing, I managed to take over a dozen scrappy brookies in consecutive casts.

I will admit that I was using a nymph as a dropper below a Ausable Wulff dry fly.

Often, I was able to take two small brookies on a single cast, especially if the first fish took the dry fly. A fish in distress will always attract other fish, and the sight of a big nymph bouncing around behind a stressed fish is obviously too good to resist.

The little, 9 to 12-inch wild brookies usually aren’t difficult to land. However, when you’re battling two of them on a single line at the end of a six foot, three weight flyrod, they are a challenging quarry.

Add into the mix a few squadrons of deer flies, a cloud of punkies and some very unhappy alder spiders, and you’ve got a real interesting mix of both prey and predators. I was often unsure of my true role, but I was simply having too much fun to be concerned.

nergy concerns, Middle East conflicts and home-grown independence are all reasons why our nation needs to develop an energy policy that works for the people, the environment and for long term sustainability.

Alcohol-based fuels and vegetable fuels are both made from plants. Vegetable oils are being treated and made into bio-diesel.

French fry cars! Corn is being processed into alcohol then denatured to make it into a non-drinkable alcohol based fuel. Denaturing is simply adding some hydrocarbon based fuels, like gasoline to alcohol making

By Rich Redman it a fuel and non-drinkable alcoholic liquor.

The gasoline you buy at the pump today is a mix of 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent gasoline.

Using corn as a fuel is good for the midwest farmer, but is hurting the eastern and western dairy farmers who use grain in their feed rations. The cost of corn has risen and it eventually affects food prices. Increased corn prices, along with the western drought have increased beef and pork prices. Food should be for feeding people and animals, not fuel.

Switchgrass is an option that many energy scientists are looking at. Once the enzyme is found that can break down the switchgrass and convert sugars to alcohol, grass may be the fuel source instead of corn. Prairie land could be planted to switchgrass and harvested for fuel use.

The benefits would be long term perennial grasses planted instead of rotational crops, so carbon would be tied up, erosion reduced and overall fuel and energy used on the farm for crop production reduced. Corn could once again be used for food, hopefully reducing dairy farm feed costs.

Switchgrass is also an excellent pheasant cover grass if managed for wildlife habitat. Cutting the grass after the bird’s nesting period allows a new brood of birds to survive. Tall grass habitat is also made by simply not mowing some areas like along ditches, roads, stream corridors, and keeping conservation reserve fields for wildlife. Now midwest farmers would have two sources of income once again; grass for fuel and pheasant hunting which brings in millions to areas like South Dakota. When the prairie grass was plowed in and turned to corn ground, much of the bird’s habitat was lost. This would be a win-win for both the farmer and the pheasants.

On another side of the ethanol front is how to extinguish it when it burns.

Transporting ethanol

There is a concern from fire departments, hazmat teams, and local officials on ethanol transports going through our area almost daily. Railroad traffic in our area has increased due to shipments of ethanol from Canada to Albany. Numerous unit trains are running up and down the shoreline of Lake Champlain daily.

A unit train is one that is made up entirely of one type of rail car carrying usually one type of product. In our case, it’s a unit train with 100 cars, each holding about 29,000 gallons of ethanol, or 2.9 million gallons of ethanol per train.

Almost pure ethanol before it makes it to the fuel depots for remixing is 98 percent ethanol and 2 percent gasoline. This is a polar solvent, meaning it mixes with water. A prime example is a scotch and water cocktail served with ice, enjoyed on the back porch occasionally. Hydrocarbons separate from water and float. Alcohol mixes with water and that is a serious problem when trying to extinguish an ethanol fire. Fire departments will have a very hard time supplying enough water to dilute the ethanol volume involved in a train accident to reduce its flammability. A small leak is possible to dilute, but a car load is the problem.

To extinguish an ethanol fire, you need to blanket the fire with AR-AFFF foam, which stands for Alcohol Resistant-Aqueous Film Forming Foam. Alcohol resistant foam doesn’t break up in a foam blanket like regular foam. The bubbles in regular foam blankets will slowly dissolve and allow vapors to escape which could possibly reignite. And that is not cool when you are standing near a pool of ethanol!

Alcohol resistant foam is about $38 per gallon and a large fire could easily use more than 1,000 gallons, so the cost of extinguishing an ethanol fire may be out of reach for many fire departments and county hazmat teams. The other solution and possible outcome is to let it burn in place and protect the perimeter and surroundings. In the words of Dirty Harry: “A man must know his limitations.”

At a recent Essex County ethanol fire training program in Willsboro, fire companies trained in the use of AR-AFFF foam. Teaching firefighters how to apply foam so there is an uninterrupted blanket to cool the fire, and eventually provide a layer of foam over the fuel to hold down the vapors so they won’t reignite was the mission of the instructors. They did a superb job.

Fire companies from Willsboro, Westport, Moriah, Port Henry, Essex, Lewis, Elizabethtown and elsewhere attended this training sponsored by the Essex County Emergency Services and the NYS Fire Academy. Many of us were mixed with firefighters from other companies so we would get to work with folks outside of our own department. I worked with a great crew from Lewis.

As the saying goes, we train for the worst and hope for the best. We are trying to be prepared because there is a lot of denatured booze, cruising through our neighborhoods!

Warren Co. continues bicentennial events this summer

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — Bicentennial celebrations continue throughout Warren County this summer and into the fall, giving residents and visitors a chance to get into the bicentennial spirit with special events and historical exhibits.

It was 200 years ago — March 12, 1813 — when the New York State Legislature broke off the northern part of Washington County and created Warren County, named after Revolutionary War Gen. Joseph Warren.

Today in the Digital Age, when 1813 seems foreign and untouchable, Warren County leaders are making sure residents and visitors can find ways to touch the past and re-connect with our forefathers. Bicentennial events will be held through the year and in each one of the county’s 11 towns, the village of Lake George and the city of Glens Falls.

A Warren County Bicentennial Signature Event was held June 12 at the old Warren County Courthouse in Lake George, which is now home to the Lake George Historical Association. In October, there will be another signature event/open house at the current Warren County complex in Queensbury, which was es-

Bicentennial from page 1

“We need to preserve Warren County for the next 200 years,” Blais said, noting that area citizens should be stewards of the region’s environment on behalf of future generations. “For 200 years, Warren County, and all of our lakes in Warren County, and particularly Lake George, is synonymous with fun, recreation, history, pleasure and pristine quality.”

Lake George Town Board member Marisa Muratori recounted a brief history of Warren County since the French & Indian War, as well as a historical account of the Old County Courthouse, and how it was saved from impending destruction.

“We do love our very rich history here in Warren County, where momentous nation-building events took place and great inventions of science and the arts were inspired,” she said.

“We care for our heritage,” she continued, noting the building’s preservation. “The evolution of this building demonstrates that as a collective, a democracy, with effort and intent, the best of our values can prevail.”

North Warren High School Student Christiaan Van Nispen read an award-winning patriotic essay he penned. His speech drew a parallel between our democracy and human anatomy — how various bodily elements work together symbiotically for a greater purpose. He said the U.S. Constitution was the backbone of the government, and U.S. citizens provided the pulse of the democracy.

tablished 50 years ago. And on Oct. 26, there will be a Bicentennial Dinner at the Fort William Henry Conference Center, with room for 400 people and featuring people dressing up in period costumes from each town.

Yet, to get a local flavor of what the past 200 years means to Warren County, people should drop by one of the many bicentennial events hosted by the towns.

Several towns will be dressing up their Independence Day events with a bicentennial flare. The town of Warrensburg – which is also celebrating its own bicentennial in 2013 – will be hosting a July 4 party with a parade, music, vendors, games and more starting at 11 a.m. The town of Johnsburg is highlighting the bicentennial during its Independence Day celebration on Saturday, July 6 with a parade down Main Street in North Creek and a festival at the Ski Bowl Park. And the town of Chester will mark the bicentennial on July 6 with its annual Summerfest event starting at noon in Chestertown.

Other bicentennial events this summer include: •July 21: Warrensburgh Bicentennial House & Garden Tour.

“We the people must keep our government in check to maintain our nation’s homeostasis, “ he said.

The event’s featured speaker, state Historian Robert Weible, said that there was no better place in the U.S. than Warren County to study history.

“You have an important story to tell here, not only local history, but state and national history as well,” he said. “If you truly feel this history and take pride in it, you can change the future.”

Glens Falls actor Wesley Ecker portrayed Lake George settler James Cadwell — speaking about the life of the historical figure, a successful merchant, importer and manufacturer in both Warren County, who once owned and operated the nation’s largest manufacturing complex in the Albany area. Ecker, posing as Caldwell, recounted his role in developing commerce in the region, as well as speaking of details of his personal life.

The Warren County Bicentennial plaque was unveiled by Geraghty and Joan Sady, Clerk of the county Board of Supervisors. The plaques are to be presented to each of the county’s municipalities.

Bolton Supervisor Ron Conover commented on the gravity of the celebration.

“This has been one of the major events in our county’s history,” he said.
