LAKE GEORGE Ñ Thousands of people were drawn this past weekend to enjoy family-oriented activities of the ambitious Festival for the Lake, which raised money to help protect the lakeÕ s ecology. For three days, the villageÕ s main drag, Canada St., was cordoned off, as was Beach Road. A wide variety of craft vendors sold their wares to passersby, with all pledging a portion of their proceeds toward the villageÕ s efforts to combat aquatic invasive species. About a dozen bands performed over the three-day street festival, which featured a childrenÕ s carnival, a craft fair, a climbing wall, casino games and plenty of beer and wine. SundayÕ s activities included crowning of the Queen of the Lake, awarded to community pillar Virginia Henry, who instituted craft festivals in the village 37 years ago, as well as serving for decades as a village employee, most recently as the municipalityÕ s Deputy

FORT EDWARD Ñ In a dramatic rebound from enduring two lopsided shutout defeats, Warrensburg dished out a stunning victory Sept. 28 by defeating Fort Edward 56 to 14 in a showdown between rivals. On Sept. 21, Warrensburg lost 0-53 to Salem, following a 0-36 defeat the week before at the hands of Cambridge. But the Burghers showed their grit by returning to the field Saturday and putting in a full-team effort that thrilled their fans. Coach Mike Leonbruno said he was pleased with their performance which demonstrated the BurghersÕ true character. Ò The guys believed in themselves,Ó he said of the Sept. 28 game effort, which included gaining nearly 400 yards on the ground. Ò They trusted the game plan.Ó Fumbles and penalties, for years plaguing for the Burghers, evaporated this past week. Players held onto the ball and ground out the yardage. The result was a first win for the 2013 season — against a talented Fort Edward team thatÕ s won seven of its last eight games against Warrensburg. Connor Scott had nine carries for 175 yards, including two lengthy touchdown runs of 68 and 74 yards. He was backed up by quarterback Malachi ProsserÕ s two rushing touchdowns Ñ one a matter of several feet and the other a charge of 41 yards. Prosser also threw to Scott for a 22-yard score. Running back Marcus Perrone tallied 10 runs for 73 yards, featuring a 53-yard touchdown run. Matt Boodman also scored a touchdown on a 21-yard run in the second quarter. Warrensburg scored 30 points in the first quarter, then racked up all but one of their remaining touchdowns in the second stanza. Coach Leonbruno pulled his starters and sent in his backup players for the second half to give them experience Ñ and they scored one touchdown on their own. One of the key plays that fired up the Burghers in the first quarter was a fumble forced by a tackle by Rogers McLaughlin, followed up by a hard hit by Connor Scott. Joey Schuster picked up the ball for an 80-yard touchdown, to the delight of Burgher fans. McLaughlin had a good game, blocking a punt and in another instance sacking the FortsÕ quarterback which set the stage for a critical drive for the Burghers. Leonbruno praised his line for opening up big holes in the FortsÕ defense so running backs could gain plenty of yards. Like many teams from smaller schools in the area, the Burghers have been struggling with a thin roster. They lost 10 players early on to disciplinary or eligibility issues, but in recent days theyÕ ve gained another half-dozen, boosting their roster to 24, Leonbruno said. Ò I donÕ t care how many players I have, as long as I have 16 guys who can give me total effort,Ó he said. Ò And the playersÕ attitudes are really good right now Ñ they really want to play football.Ó Leonbruno said his team is looking forward to a matchup against rival Lake George Friday, Oct. 4 at 7 p.m. under the lights on the Warriors’ field.

Moving forward with a small step back
T
he woods are changing rapidly, peak foliage has come and gone, and soon too, the leaves as well. Earlier in the week, I took a long morning sit in a local hardwood stand, with a bow in my hand. As always, the sun was unbearably slow to rise, and it seemed like an eternity passed before the first warming rays finally settled on my shivering carcass. There was still a crispy frost on the ground, as the sun’s first ray penetrated the quiet, hardwood forest. There wasnÕ t even a hit of wind in the air, until the sunÕ s rays warmed the earth. The morning sun set loose the birds, and soon their chattering rivaled that of my own, as my teeth typed out the depths of the morningÕ s temperature. Deer sign seemed to be everywhere, except under my stand, but as the warming sun began to caressed the hills, the woods let loose. It is always difficult to explain to someone what a falling leaf sounds like. It is indescribable in the sense that the noise is subtle yet loud, soft yet grating, and it always seems to build to a crescendo until the first sunrays finally bless you with a golden blanket of warmth. Usually, the morningÕ s leafy sun inspired show is brief, but breeze and moving currents can prolong it. It is beautiful to watch and a pleasure to be absorbed by it, however that same beauty can help to cover the movements of a wary whitetail as it wanders near your stand. The poplars and birch are losing their leaves rapidly, and the woods are becoming more open by the day. Unfortunately the beech whips, which are thick as hair on a houndÕ s behind, always seem to retain their leaves well into the season. Whitetails seem to know where to go in such times, and they often simply disappear into a stand of whips. Fortunately, I had better things to do than sit in a cold, metal treestand for more than a short morning hunt. By the time the sun finally reached the forest floor, I had decided I wasnÕ t going to hunt any more. I packed up my gear and settled on taking a roadtrip for the day, rather than waiting up in a tree like a scared bear. Falling leaves, a bright sun and nothing but falling leaves is what prompted me to travel south to Indian Lake in order to attend the fourth annual Great Adirondack Moose Festival, an event that celebrates the return of a native (son), which also happens to be the regionÕ s largest mammal. For several years, I had planned to make it down for the Festival, but it always turned out to be one of the busiest weekends of my season. This year I took the weekend off to attend the event, and IÕ m sure glad I did. Indian Lake offers a microcosm of the average, Adirondack community. It is small, isolated, and has a long history of hospitality and the wood products industry. In the past, when lumber was king, logs were cut and floated down the Hudson River to and from the town. The region also supports an active mining industry in North River, where Adirondack garnet is still extracted from the local hills for use in a variety of products including sandpaper. At one time, the community also served as a major jumping off spot for travelers headed into the interior to places such as
Raquette Lake, Blue Mountain Lake, Eagle Lake and Utowana Lake. Prior to the completion of a railroad that took guests as far as Eckford Chain of Lakes, the sleepy little community of North Creek had served as the northern most rail station in the region. And it was from there, that vacationers hopped a stagecoach for a very bumpy 26-mile ride to Blue Mountain Lake. Indian Lake remains a quaint little town with a population of nearly 1,500 permanent residents, give or take. There is also a large contingent of semi-permanent visitors, retirees and a good portion of lingering, summer folk who just canÕ t bear the thought of leaving the place for good. It only takes about one day to discover the reason for their affinity towards the place. I’ve been down that way many times to paddle the Hudson, to hike, to ski and to fish. Fortunately my wife joined me, so I had to go home. My first visit to the region occurred when I was still just a kid, and I witnessed the first buck of the season taken at the Niambi Hunting Club, which is located just a few miles out of town. It made quite an impression on an impressionable young man at the ripe old age of 12 to go into deer camp. By Adirondack standards of the day, I was a late bloomer. I remember the experience well to this day, and IÕ ll never forget the view from a ridge located high above OK Slip Pond. The entire region is an outdoor travelerÕ s paradise. It certainly hasnÕ t been discovered, and over run like Lake Placid or Lake George, which is probably a good thing. It remains a place where the resident population of black bears is likely much higher than the local human population. And fortunately, both species appear to be getting along famously. The community seems to be doing quite well, especially for a place that is surrounded smack dab in the middle of a vast tract of wilderness tucked away in the far recesses Hamilton County. Their tourism tag line says it all, Ò One million acres. No stop lights.Ó Of course, they donÕ t really have a lot of roads either. I expect the tally of local forest trails would far outnumber a tally of tarmac miles. In many ways, the defining character of Indian Lake was carved out of deep woods, raging rivers and placid lakes by hardy, citizens who seemingly have never lost sight of these vast natural assets. If you don’t know how to ski or fish, hike or hunt, paddle and camp, you probably wonÕ t want to go there. But if you just want to enjoy a full day of plain, old fashioned fun and friendly, country hospitality; there is surely no better place. For the many folks who did attend the festival, which doubled the population of the village for the day, it couldnÕ t get any better. This yearÕ s 4th Annual Great Adirondack Moose Festival offered a classic example of what a small community can achieve with a lot of pride, a bit of ingenuity and some clever marketing. The event attracted everyone from bikers to hikers, and grandparents to grandkids with a bit of everything ranging from garages sales and food booths, to wine and beer tasting events and on the street cookeries. Case in point, ‘the little theatre that could’ was one of the first facilities in the park to go digital, at a time when even The Palace in Lake Placid struggles with the ability to modernize their equipment. Of course, the highlight of the event was the fourth annual Moose Calling Contest which played to a packed house in the Indian Lake Theater, when over more than dozen adult and youth contestants offered their best imitations of a moose call. In addition to all of the other events, the Big Moose Tent on the Indian Lake School lawn featured numerous vendors who offered Adirondack themed and handmade crafts, as well as flycasting demos, guideboat displays, canoes, camping gear, and much more. The weather was great, as was the music, the company and the events. The festival featured a host of guided naturalist hikes,

It is a location where thousands of rafters begin an ever-popular, 17-mile whitewater journey down the Indian River and into the raging waters of the Hudson River Gorge. And like many small towns in the park, it is also a community that continues to struggle with the seasonal fluctuations of a tourism based economy, and an aging population. From all appearances, they are doing an incredible job, just check out the ratings on their school system. Many of the townsfolk I spoke with were retirees, but I also met a lot of younger residents who were intent on making a life and a living in a community that likely has more black bears than year-round human residents. Census information tags the median age of local residents at 52.7 years, which is about 22 years older than the statewide median age of New York residents. But when I spoke with locals, it was often easy to read the reasons in their eyes. They liked their Ò old school,Ó and small school, which still has all grades, from kindergarten to 12th in one building. And they like the fact that they know their neighbors, and even their neighborÕ s parents and often their grandparents. Ò ItÕ s good to know a lot of people locally,Ó explained one resident with a wide grin, Ò ItÕ s good in that way, you know? Because then you know who to call when youÕ re snowed in, and when ya need to get the walk shoveled.Ó IÕ ve always been told that with age comes wisdom, so IÕ ve got to believe she knows of what she speaks. Indian Lake is similar to many other communities across the Adirondacks, which have existed for years on the combination of an extraction based, as well as a tourism-based economy. It is one little community that continues to prove it can be done successfully. Although many of the big old, local sporting clubs are likely to fold as a result of recent state land acquisitions, I firmly believe the market for home-style, nature based-tourist attractions will continue to increase. I want to believe the market for humble family fun will continue to bring visitors to special places like Indian Lake, Long Lake, Speculator, Minerva, Newcomb and (add your town here.) There is a lingering shadow of Mayberry RFD that seems to hang over the community. It is a shining example of quintessential small town America, and it retains the character, and the quality that people will continue to cherish. And even if travelers canÕ t afford to live there, by God, theyÕ ll continue to visit whenever they can. It is a good to know that even though the world can now be interconnected instantly via the internet, there are still a few special places where you return to a slower, quieter, calmer place, and totally leave all the rest behind.

Little Burghers show heart in mid-season contests thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ A week after a dominant win against Ticonderoga, the Warrensburg Senior Youth Football team fought hard against Lake George, but lost 39 to 28 in a game played Sept. 28 on the Burgher home turf. Led by Jackson Corriveau, the Little Burghers put up a very strong effort, coach Gary Baker said. Corriveau ran for 150 yards and threw for two touchdowns. Jessie Griffin ran for an additional 45 yards and caught a touchdown pass, and Hunter McKenna ran for 50 yards and caught a pass for a touchdown. The teamÕ s defense was led by Tommy Moore, Hunter McKenna and Jaron Griffin, Coach Baker said. Ó These kids worked so hard in the second half to climb back into the game,Ó he said, noting the playersÕ parents as well as the Warrensburg community should be proud of their effort. Ò We kept waiting for that one turnover to go our way and it just never came.Ó He said the offensive units of both teams outran the opposing defense most of the time. Ò Lake George is a solid team with good athletes and good coaching,” Baker said. “It is always a dogfight when facing them.Ó Both this 5th and 6th grade squad and the 3rd and 4th grade team will be playing scrimmages under floodlights in Lake George Friday Oct. 4 in conjunction with the game between the two towns’ high school Varsity teams. The 5th and 6th graders play during halftime, or about 8 p.m., and the 3rd and 4th graders are to play at 5 p.m. The two younger teams will play in a full game in Lake George on Saturday Oct. 5, and the 5th and 6th grade squad will play against Hudson Falls at 10 a.m. Sunday Oct. 6 on the Hudson Falls High School field. Ò Friday night should be a lot of fun,Ó Baker said about the arch-rivals from neighboring towns scrimmaging.
Burghers defeat Ticonderoga
The Senior BurghersÕ loss followed a solid 37-18 win versus Ticonderoga the prior week on the Warrensburg town field. In their win, the Burghers utilized a variety of formations in-
number of plays involving a half-dozen formations Ñ and many of the plays differ only by subtle variations. Ò This group of kids just Ô getÕ the game,Ó he said. Ò No matter what I call in the huddle they execute it properly Ñ I am very proud of this group.Ó Baker added that his teamÕ s line Ñ consisting of Jackson Czuba, Wyatt Baker, Bill Cameron, David Luck, Zack Barber and Antonio Devalle flanked on the ends by Jaron Griffin and Jackson Corriveau Ñ is a critically important element of our team and its success. On Sept. 28, the third and fourth grade Little Burghers played Lake George, and lost to the Warriors 18 to 12. The squad members contributed strong play on both sides of the ball. Standouts this week were Dillon Winchell who scored a touchdown, Tanner McKenna with solid play, and Tristan Hitchcock who recovered a fumble and took off 65 yards for a touchdown for his team. Ò This team played with a lot of heart today and is getting better each week, coach Mike Curtis said. Ò They never gave up.Ó

ake George is now headed into a transformation that offers insights useful to other Adirondack communities as they chart a course into the future that incorporates prosperity as well as maintaining a high quality of life. With 100,000 or more visitors annually spending weekends or extended vacations in Lake George, entrepreneurs for decades have built motels, restaurants and retail shops to meet the touristsÕ desires. Many of the business owners or absentee landlords Ñ a large portion from outside the area Ñ have built structures to host business enterprises with one main objective: to expend the least amount of money possible. Taking advantage of prevailing lax municipal development regulations, developers have constructed commercial buildings lacking in architectural merit. For years, many Ò newÓ storefronts have been merely alterations and conversions of residences Ñ or new construction with minimal design and cheap materials. Meanwhile, historic buildings with outstanding architecture have been destroyed, one by one, by fire or unbridled development. The result has been a village with a hodgepodge of structures of little or no architectural value, as the population of year-round village residents has slowly decreased. Many discerning vacationers have increasingly sought out other destinations that have a more intact historic identity or have buildings exemplifying higher aesthetic values. And while Lake GeorgeÕ s clientele has shifted over the decades, some retailers have aimed to appeal to the changing visitor profile. Several store windows now displaying T-shirts with obscene slogans serve an example of what can result. Although Lake George has been rated as a top family vacation destination, some publications have used the terms Ò tackyÓ and Ò honky tonk.Ó In recent years, however, Lake George has embarked on a turnaround. Progressive leaders have envisioned an upscale, revitalized village full of year-round downtown residents as well as visitors, savoring daily life of work, recreation and raising families. Dozens of new quality cultural events have been launched. Regulations to rein in unbridled commercialism have been enacted. Projects to upgrade the streetscape and enhance the pedestrian experience have been undertaken, and theyÕ ve resulted in considerable success. Last winter, developer Dave Kenny hinted he was interested in situating an upscale hotel and conference center in the village. Recognizing that such a facility would boost
the prosperity of the village, local leaders reexamined their zoning regulations and adopted amendments to not only accommodate such a development, but to assure that this hotel and others would be built in an appropriate manner. They reviewed their existing architectural guidelines, and strengthened them by adding various aspects and converting the suggestions to mandates. These new architectural standards include calling for the use of varied, quality materials, as well as staggered rooflines, multiple exterior planes, wall offsets and recesses, dormers, parapets, and cornices. We applaud the village board of trusteesÕ actions. Good architecture and savvy municipal planning attract people to a community to not only visit, but to live in it, prosper, and savor the experience. KennyÕ s initial drawings of his hotel were presented last month to the Lake George Village Planning Board. The drawings depicted a long boxy structure with blank walls Ñ prohibited in Lake GeorgeÕ s new zoning laws Ñ interrupted only with three shallow towers with Adirondack-themed roofs with faux log beams. Such elements were a nod to the new architectural guidelines, but didnÕ t go far enough. It was interesting to see that Kenny also had alternate backup plans for the hotel, depicting stepped roofs, extensive stonework, various offsets and far more visual interest. Kudos to the planning board members who directed Kenny to go back to the drawing board and redesign the hotel to incorporate architectural quality, and not just minimal design cues. Comprehensive architectural mandates and historic preservation laws have proven their worth in many other resort communities like Jackson Hole, Wyoming; Boulder, Colorado and upscale neighborhoods in major cities like Philadelphia as well as nearby Saratoga Springs. Although attacked by some as intrusive elitism or an erosion of property rights, architectural mandates and progressive community planning have immeasurable benefits, boosting the quality of life for all. Here in the Adirondacks, we can resist the intrusion of the ubiquitous American franchisedriven architecture. Drawing on our individualism, we can celebrate our traditional aesthetic diversity, while committing to develop our communities to incorporate a vibrant cultural life. Without question, itÕ s in our best interests. Ñ

Turning Back the Pages By Jean Hadden •100 years ago - Oct. 1913• Deathbed wedding
Complying with a request made by her father Stephen M. Pratt, 71, an aged resident of the town of Bolton, Miss Elizabeth Pratt, his youngest daughter and Lester Duell, a former Glens Falls boy, were married at the bedside of her dying father, on the night of Oct. 30, 1913, shortly after 9 o’clock. After Mr. Pratt had been stricken with a third shock of paralysis only a few days previously he realized that the end was near and called his daughter to his bedside to tell her that he would be pleased to see her married. The marriage had previously been arranged for the fall. The daughter immediately agreed and after sending word to her fiance, the Rev. George Gates, pastor of the Baptist Church was than called into the presence of the dying man and the couple were married. Only immediate family members were present. The old man continued to fail and the next day, Oct. 31, 1913, he died of paralysis. One of BoltonÕ s oldest and most respected citizens, he was well known in the North Country, a proud member of the Odd FellowsÕ lodge and a veteran of the Civil War.
Accused of a wicked scheme
Fred L. Hamilton, a Warrensburgh attorney of brilliant attainments but erratic conduct, who has often been in trouble, is now in the Warren County Jail at Lake George, facing a charge of conspiracy, the most serious accusation that has yet been brought against him. He has a companion in misfortune in the person of Robert Holland of Wevertown, who was a party to the alleged scheme, which had been cooked up to extract money from two prominent and respectable citizens of North Creek. A girl, who was to be used as a tool, exposed the plot. The pair were arrested Oct. 6, 1913 by Deputy Sheriff Charles Baker, at Bakers Mills, on a warrant issued by Justice Ellsworth Ross charging
attempt to commit conspiracy against former Assemblyman William R. Waddell and Dr. J.L. Fuller of North Creek. It is alleged that the pair of schemers attempted to induce a 16-year-old girl, Ellen Dyre of Johnsburgh Corners to swear to a false statement in order to extort money from Mr. Waddell and Dr. Fuller. The girl, after the inducements were held out to her, refused to join in the scheme. She swore to a statement upon which the warrant was based. Both men are being held to await the action of the Grand Jury which sets Oct. 20, 1913 and in default of $2,000 bail each they are now in the County Jail.
Hod’s good days
Hodges H. Hill, WarrensburghÕ s town barber, has announced the engagement of his daughter, Edythe Myrtle Hill to Phineas Sewel of Glens Falls. Hod is enjoying his annual vacation and Jim Gates is barbering for him in Hill & ManzerÕ s Music Hall block shop. Hod is the Republican candidate for town tax collector. He also plans to go into the woods soon and shoot a deer.
Local obituaries
Mrs. William Coon of Bolton Landing died Oct. 5, 1913 after a long illness resulting from an attack of measles last spring. Germain Mattison, 60, of Sodom, died Oct. 8, 1913 after a long and exceedingly painful illness. Death was caused by cancer with which he had been afflicted for a long time. He was born March 8, 1854 and he leaves one son. Internment was made in the Bates Cemetery. Bearers were Robert Somerville, Reuben Ross, Eben Wood and Edson Kathan. Mrs. Bishop Carpenter, 59, of Adirondack died very suddenly the evening of Oct. 13, 1913 at her home. She had finished her work after supper and sat down in the kitchen. As she did so she told her husband she felt dizzy. After he reached her side she breathed only a few times and passed away. Dr. Bibby of Pottersville was summoned but upon his arrival found that she

Good riddance, dialup!
Many residents have phoned to tell me how overjoyed they will be when “white space” broadband technology finally rolls into town. These callers and many other people in town now have only dial-up connections to the Internet, and accomplishing just about anything on their computers with such a slow speed makes the Ò information superhighwayÓ a rutted gravel road Ñ a nearly impossible challenge to accomplish anything. But we can be proud that our town of Thurman is considered a leader nationally in employing this new technology Ñ using the space between channels on the old analog television transmission Ñ to broadcast Internet broadband throughout our rural town. Thanks go to our town board for working to establish white space transmission, then lobbying for $200,000 in funding Ñ and more money may be coming our way Ñ to connect hundreds of households that are beyond the reach of the commercial Internet service providers.
Broadband to boost jobs, education
This prompted me to think about what this technology will mean to our children who are in school and facing this new Ò common coreÓ teaching, that most of us parents and grandparents have never even heard of? With the Internet at their fingertips one would be able to access tutorials guiding parents and other caregivers on how to help their students succeed. And the college students, now able to conduct their studies from home, instead of traveling down to their respecvtive campuses to do their research. Work-at-home jobs will increase, as well, possibly boosting the average wage that residents earn in our small community. Perhaps keeping families here in Thurman, instead of having to move out of town or worse, depending on the state to support them in any field other than cashier or waitress. And for those who have moved away Ñ with this new technology, family members will be able to reach out to one another and have face-to-face conversations using such applications as Skype. The only drawback to this, that I can see, will be trying to keep our youth from staying online all night long!
Help with home heating costs
HEAP is a federally funded program that issues heating benefits to supplement a household’s annual energy expenses. HEAP also offers an emergency benefit for households in a heat-related emergency. Additionally, HEAP offers heating equipment repair and replacement benefits for homeowners with inoperable heating equipment. HEAP may help families for electricity, propane, natural gas, wood, oil, kerosene, coal, or any other heating fuel. To reach the Warren County HEAP office, call them at 761-6300 and follow the prompts. A HEAP clinic is held annually here in Thurman and I will keep you updated on when it is to occur as soon as that information is available.

Area mishaps
William Edgerton of Chestertown, in cranking a motor, preparatory to driving Fred MundyÕ s car, was kicked by the crank quite seriously, injuring his hand which will require inactive days for restoration. Miles Morehouse of Bakers Mills was thrown from one of his horses and was considerably bruised on his hip and side which required Dr. W.W. Aldrich to dress the wounds. The Arrow Head Hotel, at the head of Fourth Lake in the Adirondacks, was destroyed by fire Sept. 23, 1913 entailing a loss of $40,000, the property being insured for $10,000. The driver of ParkerÕ s White Steamer auto, in an endeavor to avoid a collision with another car, ran off the road near Bartonville.
News near and far
No less than 11,338 Union veterans of the Civil War died in 1912. There are still over 180,000 on the rolls of the Grand Army of the Republic. John Hanson, 15, accused of poisoning Patrick Cushing in Willsboro last July, 1912, was examined as to his sanity at the Elizabethtown jail recently by two physicians appointed by a judge. Ticonderoga is now a Ò dryÓ town, all licenses to sell liquor having expired on Oct. 1, 1913. Only drug stores may now dispense the liquid that exhilarates and than only upon a physicianÕ s prescription. The Warrensburgh News will pay 3 cents a pound for clean rags suitable for wipers for machinery.

With a Marriott hotel likely to be built nearby, the owner of the Surfside Hotel in Lake George Village is seeking to build a new six-story building that would incorporate a two-level parking garage with four stories of modern rooms on top. Since the existing zoning code for Surfside’s Commercial Resort zone allows only three-story buildings a maximum of 40 feet high — and no parking garages — Salim Amersi is seeking zoning variances. A hearing on his requests is set for 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 2 at the village hall. Photo by Thom Randall
Surfside
from page 1 The western side of the building Ñ facing Canada St. Ñ would be five and a half stories high off the ground, as the first floor of the parking garage would be set into a slope. AmersiÕ s application cites that the hotel needs the new modern rooms as well as on-site parking Ñ and complying with the 40-feet maximum would require him to build a fully underground garage Ñ at a price of $2 million Ñ which would not be financially feasible. In addition to the height extension, Amersi is seeking a Zoning Use Variance, as the village does not allow parking garages to be built in the Commercial Resort zone in which the hotel is situated. Surfside is between OÕ SullivanÕ s Motel and The Georgian Resort, which is across Canada St. from Lake George High School. Citizen activist Joanne Gavin, who issued emails Sept. 25
about the proposed zoning variance, said the building was far too tall, would obstruct views and would change the character of downtown. She said that the recent village zoning law changes Ñ which include extending the three-story maximum to six stories on the west side of Canada Street Ñ purposefully excluded the east side, to retain views and the preserve the character of the village. Ò ItÕ s ridiculous for the Zoning Board of Appeals to even consider this proposal,Ó she said. Amersi, however said Sept. 25 that the new six-story structure would not obstruct views for adjacent properties, and that there are no existing views of the lake from Canada Street that would be blocked by the six-story structure. Ò No one will lose an existing view of the lake,Ó he said, noting that the six-story building would also not be visible from people in boats on the lake, due to the angle of view. Amersi continued that Surfside needed upgraded rooms to continue to be financially viable, particularly considering that a

new Marriott Courtyard was likely to be built across the street with 120 new rooms, and other major hotel chains are also seeking to build Ñ and these new developments would cause Surfside to lose market share unless their rooms were upgraded. Ò People want modern, larger, top quality rooms,Ó he said. And with those new rooms, sufficient on-site parking would be necessary, which meant larger and more spaces to comply with regulations Ñ which would require a two-story parking garage. Ò WeÕ re very tight on parking at this point,Ó he said. Amersi added that the new building would be modern and include a 25-feet deck on the top two floors, complete with plantings and furnishings. Ò It will be a really nice contemporary building with character Ñ and it will be a little bit retro,Ó he said, noting that the building may pick up some design cues from the hotelÕ s iconic neon sign, which has been mentioned in various publications for its 1950s chic.

QUEENSBURY Ñ A furniture chain that offers topquality home furnishings at discount prices has recently arrived at Mark Plaza on Quaker Rd. in Queensbury. Bennington Furniture, a sixstore chain based in Bennington Vt., has moved into the building formerly occupied by Dream House Furniture. Bennington Furniture president Michael Fiacco said that his chainÕ s success is based on offering high-grade American made furniture at prices comparable to imports. FiaccoÕ s related retail outlet, America First Mattress & More, operates adjacent to Bennington Furniture, providing a wide range of mattresses. Fiacco pledges that they have the lowest prices available anywhere. Fiacco sounded modest this week while talking about his chain of six stores, but his familyÕ s approach to business has caused their enterprises to flourish. Since its founding at a single store in 1986, Bennington Furniture has surpassed all competition to become VermontÕ s largest fullservice furniture, mattress and interior design store. Fiacco said he takes pride in offering furniture with distinctive style. Whether itÕ s traditional or contemporary, rustic or art deco, the pieces are chosen by BenningtonÕ s buyers for their eye appeal, function and durability, representing dozens of major brands.

Clerk-Treasurer. Ò IÕ m so honored,Ó Henry said as her granddaughter Gayle Nelson, dressed as the Ò Lake Princess,Ó crowned her. NelsonÕ s children, Kendra, 10, and Lincoln Cameron, 9, helped their mother with the honor. Nelson, the current coordinator of various craft festivals in Lake George, said her grandmother deserved to be the villageÕ s first Queen of the Lake for not only her public service, but her various volunteer activities through the years. Ò My grandmother has put her footprint, thumbprint and heart-print all over Lake George Village,Ó she said. Minutes after the crowning ceremony, Richard Thomas of Albany listened to a band playing classic rock music onstage. Ò This was my favorite place to vacation as a kid,Ó Thomas said, adding that he was happy that admission fees and a portion of the vendorsÕ proceeds were dedicated to protecting Lake George from invasives. Ò IÕ d like the lake to stay around in the condition itÕ s in Ñ ItÕ s beautiful up here.Ó Some people were moved to pay more than the $10 entry fee. Denny Galloway of Lake George Ñ a former realtor and electrician known for his community activism and philanthropy, donated $1,000 toward the cause this weekend. Events on Saturday included a first-ever Pedi-Cab race which was won by Iggy Rovetto, owner of Pizza Jerks, a popular pizza restaurant and gathering place in the village. The day also featured a bicycle tour sponsored by the Warren County Safe & Quality Bicycling Organization. Sunday afternoon in Shepard Park, Village Mayor Robert Blais smiled while watching a dozen or so people spontaneously dance to the rock anthems Ò Run Around SueÓ and Ò TwistinÕ the Night Away.Ó Ò This has been a big success,Ó he said of the new festival, citing weather as a key factor. Ò ItÕ s been such a beautiful weekend, and without this festival, there wouldnÕ t have been much to do otherwise.Ó Blais had been on duty through much of the weekend, selling tickets at the entry table, as well as circulating in the crowd Ñ which was largest on Saturday. He said he met many people who were concerned about the lakeÕ s protection, and dozens were interested in how they could help out. Others were interested in comparing the issues Lake George is facing, versus other lakes in the northeast. Ò We shared a lot of information,Ó he said, noting that the festival would probably raise $15,000 for lake-protection efforts. Ò And the vendors, for the most part, did very, very well Ñ IÕ ve heard nothing but praise.Ó Employees of the Lake George Park Commission demonstrated a portable boat-washing station set up near Shepard Park alongside one of their patrol boats. Shari Dufresne of the Park Commission said Sunday the crowd showed keen interest in how the power-washing apparatus cleaned invasive species off boats. Ò People have been very receptive, and theyÕ re thankful that weÕ re now administering the program,Ó she said.

Gov. Cuomo to decide land classification
Meets with town officials, goes fishing By Andy Flynn
andy@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK Ñ As reporters waited in the sun for a press conference to begin Thursday, Sept. 26 outside the Gore Mountain Ski Center base lodge, Gov. Andrew Cuomo was meeting inside with local government leaders in a closed-door session to discuss the upcoming classification of newly acquired state land in the Central Adirondacks. The land in question Ñ including the Essex Chain Lakes — will impact five local towns in Hamilton and Essex counties: Newcomb, Long Lake, Minerva, North Hudson and Indian Lake. The Nature Conservancy sold the former Finch, Pruyn Company land to the state in 2012, and now the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) must decide how to classify it. Yet, even after the APA makes its final decision, there’s one more hurdle for both sides of the issue. Ò The governor makes the decision,Ó Cuomo said. Ò The APA makes the recommendation to the governor. In a perfect world, the APAÕ s recommendation would coincide with the judgment of the executive. But, in any event, the governor is responsible legally for the decision and can override the recommendation of the APA if he or she sees fit.” Earlier in the day, Cuomo spent time with Nature Conservancy staff in Franklin County. An early itinerary from the governor’s office said he was planning to meet with environmental advocacy groups, hosted by The Nature Conservancy (TNC), at Follensby Clear Pond. In actuality, he spent time with TNC staff informally at Follensby Pond near Tupper Lake before heading to North Creek, according to an email from TNC Adirondack Chapter Director of Communications Connie Prickett. Ò The Nature Conservancy hosted at our Follensby Pond property Governor Cuomo and his guests,Ó Prickett wrote. Ò Our staff served as fishing guides and handled logistics. We did not participate in any formal discussions. It was a beautiful day and great to see the Governor in the Adirondacks.Ó The names of the guests were not released. Government leaders had their turn to meet with Cuomo in the late afternoon on Sept. 26 in Warren County with town leaders and state officials such as Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Joe Martens, Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) and Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury). The governor called it a Ò superb conversation.Ó Ò I wanted to hear from the experts on the matter before I made the decision, and thatÕ s why I came up today,Ó Cuomo said. Green groups, such as the Adirondack Council, are in favor of a wilderness classification for the newly acquired land, barring motorized access. Local officials, specifically in the five towns listed above that comprise the Upper Hudson Recreation Hub, are in favor of a wild forest classification for some lands, such as the Essex Chain Lakes, to ensure more access, including mountain bikes and snowmobiles. On wilderness lands in the state Forest Preserve, motorized access is not allowed. Ò Everybody understands the same princi-

ples,Ó Cuomo said. Ò The principle is Ô We need balance.Õ We need to preserve the Park. We also need economic development. We need activity. We need revenues. And you have to balance the two.Ó Minerva Town Supervisor Sue Montgomery Corey was in the North Creek session with the governor, pushing for more access to the former Finch lands. Ò I think the take-home (message) is that we have a lot more work to do,Ó Corey said. Ò ItÕ s great to have the governor here and great to have the opportunity to talk about the things that are important to the five communities in the Finch, Pruyn area. We look forward to continuing that conversation, and weÕ ll see where that goes.Ó The towns of Minerva, North Hudson and Newcomb Ñ all represented at the Sept. 26 meeting Ñ are located in Essex County, and Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas joined the town supervisors. Ò I think it was a good meeting with the governor,” Douglas said. “I think the five towns and the two counties told him that weÕ re willing to compromise, but we need to sit down at the table with the environmental groups and work this out. Compromise, a common ground, can be found. Not everybody will end up totally happy but compromise is the best thing.Ó The towns of Long Lake and Indian Lake Ñ both represented at the Sept. 26 meeting Ñ are located in Hamilton County, and Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Farber joined the town supervisors as well. Ò I think itÕ s fantastic that the governor is willing to come up and delve into it to that degree,Ó Farber said. Ò ItÕ s very different than historic classifications where the APA would go through the process and basically send the recommendation down to the governor. I think the fact that this governor takes an interest in advance Ñ comes up, talks to the environmental groups, talks to the local communities about their interests, really try to gain an in-depth understanding of the issue Ñ I think shows the right attitude. IÕ m very impressed.Ó Farber also noted that the governorÕ s due diligence in this state land classification process

Bolton Fall Festival this weekend!
BoltonÕ s new community festival which includes residents contributing homegrown vegetables to a communal soup Ñ as well as zany bed races and family-oriented activities Ñ is scheduled for this weekend. The annual Harvest Festival sponsored by the town of Bolton is set for Saturday Oct. 5 from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the Bolton Community Center at Conservation Club Park off Edgecomb Pond Road. Once again, bed and canoe races will be featured, along with an apple dessert contest, apple cider press demonstrations, square dancing, childrenÕ s games, storytelling, and a performance by the Stony Creek Band. The bed races revive a beloved tradition in Bolton from decades ago. For years in the early 1980s, several thousand people were annually drawn to Bolton Landing to watch a dozen or more teams push beds down Lake Shore Drive in a zany festival that included wild partying. The 2013 Harvest Festival is more oriented toward local residents. It features a community meal with attendees bringing potluck dishes to share and the younger set making sÕ mores. Participants are encouraged to bring along local produce to contribute to the Ò stone soupÓ to be concocted and served. Area residents are also encouraged to bring their own canoe or kayak
is unique among state executives he has known. Ò IÕ ve been doing this for 20 years, and they’ve been doing a lot of classifications, and IÕ ve never had a governor come up and talk to me about a classification and my view of it in advance,Ó Farber said. Sen. Little called the governor a Ò master at listening to people, working things out and getting good results,Ó and she remarked on his problem-solving approach in this case. Ò He was certainly understanding, and I really mean that,Ó Little said. Ò He does get it better than anybody else I know of right now that the economy in this part of the state is very, very important ... What we need the most in the Adirondacks is more year-round jobs, more yearround people. And that would take care of all the other issues weÕ re having and keeping our communities sustainable.Ó The senator also commented on the proceedings behind closed doors at Gore Mountain, saying the five town supervisors were able to talk to the governor about their priorities, what they would like to see the most. Ò And the (biggest) thing they would like to see is snowmobile trails and connectivity between their communities so we have some really good trails that go from one community to another and they bring business to them,Ó Little said. Ò ItÕ s a big business, snowmobiling, and accessibility. WeÕ re talking about not just being able to carry your kayak a couple miles in and walking in. There are a lot of roads there. We want to see a lot of mountain biking ... So I think we need to have that accessibility. ThatÕ s number one on that land ... If you allow these other recreational opportunities, it will bring some economic benefit to the people.” Although there is a clear divide between the pro-wilderness and pro-wild forest groups, Cuomo said there is still common ground when it comes to preservation of the Forest Preserve, what he calls the Ò asset.Ó The divide here is finding the balance between preservation and access, which, he said, is Ò often easier said than done.Ó “The local officials understand the need to preserve the asset because the asset is what is driving the economic development,Ó Cuomo
and paddle around the scenic pond. The festival starts at 2 p.m. with games for children, and the apple press demonstrations. At 3 p.m. canoe races commence, followed by the bed races at 4 p.m.. Prizes will be awarded for the best homemade apple dessert, and entries must be in before 4 p.m. Bring a dish to share for the 5 p.m. dinner and some local produce to add to the stone soup. Square dancing begins at 5:30 p.m., and the Stony Creek Band begins their performance at 8:30 p.m. For details, contact Susan Wilson at 644-3056 or: susanwilson. bolton@gmail.com. The event is sponsored by the Bolton Conservation Park Committee and the Town of Bolton Recreation Commission.
Fire Safety Prevention Week arrives

Activities for students in prekindergarten to 5th grade will culminate with a visit to the Bolton firehouse, where the firefighters will be demonstrating fire prevention practices and showing their firefighting equipment. For details, contact school principal Michael Graney at 6442400.

said. Ò No one wants to devalue the asset. If you were to devalue the asset, it would be counterproductive for everyone. So everyone agrees with the principle. The question is, Ô What is that balance in this situation?’ More specifically, how to spell balance here? This is the parcel. This is the acreage. These are the more sensitive areas. What does balance mean in this specific application. And thatÕ s where youÕ ll run into differences.Ó There will most likely be differences on the APA Board of Commissioners when members take up the classification decision later this fall. First the staff must make a recommendation to the State Lands Committee, which, in turn, makes a recommendation to the full board. A thorough discussion of balance Ð preservation versus access Ð is expected, and that could come as early as the November meeting in Ray Brook. Yet town supervisors in the “five towns” were clearly disappointed at the end of the State Lands Committee meeting Sept. 12 when committee Chairman Richard Booth publicly sated that was in favor of the wilderness classification, even before getting a recommendation from the APA staff. The governorÕ s visit to the Adirondack Park on Sept. 26 changed the mood among local leaders, according to Supervisor Douglas. Ò I think the mood change is a little better today because we were concerned that we werenÕ t being heard,Ó Douglas said. Ò A lot of the environmental groups have a lot of funds behind them to push their message out, and local government officials need to be heard. We’re trying to do that as a group between the five towns and two counties. I think the mood today is, Ô Look. WeÕ re willing to sit down. WeÕ re willing to negotiate. But weÕ ve got to have cordial conversations and open minds going into them.Ó During the Sept. 12 APA meeting, Commissioner Booth asked staff to submit a memo in October clearly stating the ramifications of classification based on the State Land Master Plan (SLMP), which is a set of approved guidelines for using state-owned lands in the 6-millionacre Adirondack Park. Ò I think the State Land Master Plan actually has more specificity to it than what we generally have been talking about ... I think weÕ re going to need a memo that says basically, this is what the Master Plan says, the most important factors in terms of classification,” Booth said. “If the Agency designates most of this as wilderness, these are the implications in terms of uses and what would have to be removed in terms of things being there on an existing basis.Ó Based on BoothÕ s memo request, it has been perceived that APA commissioners will be making their decision solely on the SLMP guidelines, a black-and-white approach. When asked if the Finch land classification is a black-andwhite decision for him, Gov. Cuomo answered with one word Ñ Ò No.Ó The governor said there will be more meetings with stakeholders in this land classification process before he signs any document. Ò TheyÕ ll be more conversations. TheyÕ ll be more discussions. There will be more analysis,Ó Cuomo said. Ò But I want to make sure I am as prepared as I can be to make this decision because itÕ s an important one.Ó

HereÕ s the scoop on how to avoid frustration of crushing traffic and to maximize bargain-hunting fun: • Arrive well before the weekend and check into an area inn or motel. Savvy shoppers get the “first pick” of the wide range of wares on Friday or before. • Shoppers who do arrive on the weekend should get into Warrensburg as early as possible, and take the Northway to exits, 22, 24, or 25. • Avoid Northway Exit 23, the primary road into Warrensburg, since it becomes very congested by 8:30 a.m. If you do use Exit 23, take a right turn to go via East Schroon River Rd. and follow signs to a free parking lot at the Warren County Fairgrounds and take a free trolley downtown. • Arriving from Northway Exit 22, turn left onto Route 9 and drive just a few miles north to Warrensburg. • From Northway Exit 24, go south on Schroon River Rd. and park at the fairgrounds where shuttle buses will take visitors in and out of town. • Or, from Northway Exit 25, head south out of Chestertown on Route 9 into Warrensburg.

October 5, 2013 • From Friday Sept. 30 through Sunday Oct. 2, there is no parking on Main St. from the bandstand to Stewart Farrar Avenue, nor on Elm St., nor Emerson, Second Hackensack, Horicon and Adirondack avenues. Parking is also prohibited on the north side of Stewart Farrar, and the north side of Library Ave. from Elm to James streets. The Marc Bruce Park at Hudson and Fourth Ave. is also off-limits for parking. The parking bans are so emergency vehicles can move through town. Those who disobey these bans are likely to have their vehicle towed. • Motorists are urged not to block driveways, fire hydrants, nor park on private property without permission. No trailers or recreational vehicles may be parked along roadways. • The Warrensburg Volunteer Fire Co. will be renting out intown car and recreational vehicle spaces beside their firehouse on lower Elm St. The price for cars is $5 per day, and for recreational vehicles, $25 per day. Residents extend a warm welcome to all visitors and urge all to return and enjoy a visit when the true character of the town is evident Ñ when there are 3,800 year-round residents here, rather than the tens of thousands filling the streets.
