Wbg. highway chief named for top environmental award By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG —  Although  highway  construction  and  maintenance  is often  at  odds  with  environmental  protection,  a  local  town  highway  superintendent  has  received  a  prestigious  award from a regional organization dedicated to preserving the  natural landscape. Warrensburg  Superintendent  of  Highways  Ed  Pennock  received the Conservationist of the Year award recently From the  Warren County Soil & Water Conservation District. Conservation  District  Manager  Jim  Lieberum  said  Pennock  had  in  recent  years  undertaken  a  wide  variety  of  infrastructure reconstruction projects — rebuilding roadways and stream  crossings — and accomplished the work with a commitment to  protect natural resources. “Ed  is  very  pro-active  in  seeking  assistance  from  us,”  Leiberum said. “He may not always like what I have to say, but he’s  willing to do things right the first time — while he protects the  safety of area motorists.  Leiberum, who also serves as the Warren County Hazard Mitigation Coordinator, said Pennock was committed to protecting  public safety, whether it was undertaking work to prevent flooding,  wildfires,  or  washouts  caused  by  breaching  beaver  dams.  He  noted  that  when  culverts  have  been  replaced,  Pennock  has  been  committed  to  having  them  rebuilt  so  they  will  withstand  the more violent weather events the area has been experiencing. Leiberum also said Pennock is diligent about preventing erosion, noting that he is conscientious about re-establishing roadside vegetation after a road reconstruction project is finished. “Ed’s always thinking about these issues,” Leiberum said. In addition, Pennock has been helpful in assisting the Conservation District when needed — including offering town labor to  unload tons of material into the agency’s barn, Leiberum said. “The Warrensburg Highway Department has a ghreat crew to  work with,” Leiberum said. “We also have a great working relationship with the town of Warrensburg’s Water Department, the  town Parks & Recreation Parks crew and the Code Enforcement  office.” For  the  Conservationist  of  2013  award,  Leiberum  provided  nominations  to  the  Warren  County  Soil  &  Water  Conservation  District’s  board  of  board  of  directors,  and  that  panel  made  the  final selection. Board  chairman  Frank  Thomas  recently  praised  Pennock  for  his work. “Ed’s  work  on  numerous  water-quality  related  projects  and  his interest in the protection of the area’s natural resources serves  as an excellent example of getting conservation projects accomplished,” he said, noting that Pennock’s assistance to the agency  had been outstanding.

Town  of  Warrensburg  Supervisor  Kevin  Geraghty  also  praised  Pennock  for his work. “Ed’s been a good steward of our roads,” he said.   “With all the major storms  we’ve had, he’s made a lot  of  repairs  at  a  reasonable  cost  to  taxpayers  —  he  maintains  the  roads  very  well  and  has  a  good  paving plan in place.” Geraghty  added  that  Pennock  has  a  reputation  for  cooperating  well  with  other  town  and  county  highway  officials  and  employees.   “Ed  maintains  a  great  working relationship with  highway  crews  of  surrounding  communities  as  well  as  the  county,”  Geraghty  said.  “He’s  a  real  team player.” This  is  only  the  second  time in recent history that  Warrensburg Superintendent of Highways Ed Pennock was awarded recently as “Conservationist of the Year” by a  town  highway  superin- the Warren County Soil and Water Conservation District.

Lynn Smith steps down as Wbg. Chamber president By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Lynn Smith, one of the longest reigning  presidents of the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce in recent  history, is stepping down from her executive role. On  Jan.  9,  the  Chamber  held  its  annual  election  of  officers,  and both Candice Healy and Smith were nominated for the post  of president, and Smith declined to be a candidate. As a result,  Healy — who is Warrensburg branch manager of Glens Falls National Bank — was unanimously voted in as president. Voted  in  as  vice  president  of  the  Chamber  was  Linda  Baker  Marcella,  broker-owner  of Adirondack  Real  Estate.Brooke Ackley of Direct Deposit Redemption Center was  re-elected as Secretary-Treasurer.  Smith has been known for her dedicated volunteer work annually on the Warrensburg Largest Garage Sale, shepherding this  nationally renowned event through some tough times financially. For  months  every  year,  planning  and  overseeing  the  Garage  Sale  event    has  been  a  full  time  job  for  Smith,  a  responsibility  she’s balanced along with operating Alynn’s Butterfly Inn Bed &  Breakfast on State Rte. 28.  Contacted Jan. 13, Smith said that others deserved credit for

their work on behalf of the Chamber. “I  thank  everyone  for  their  support,”  she  said.  Smith  joined  the Chamber in 2000, and was elected president of the group in  2001. She served as president ever since except for a short break  several years ago. “I’m glad Candice was nominated — it’s time for me to move  on,  and  Candice  will  do  a  good  job,”  she  said.  “Any  organization needs new blood. After such a long time, it’s good to have  change.” The change in leadership comes at a time that some new members joined — individuals who expressed interest in the Chamber tackling new events and initiatives. Smith said that she will continue to volunteer for the Garage  Sale, which the Warren County Board of Supervisors has recognized as one of the most popular events in the county. Warrensburg Town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty, who serves as  Chairman of the county Board of Supervisors, praised Smith for  her many years of work on the World’s Largest Garage Sale. “Many thanks go to Lynn for her volunteer effort,” he said. “  I know as President of the Warrensburg Volunteer Fire Co. that a  lot of work goes on behind the scenes, and I know that’s the situation with the Chamber. I wish Lynn all the best and the incoming president good luck in promoting the town.” ing  is  to  be  held  at  6  p.m.  Feb.  6  in  the  Chamber  office,  3725  Main St. in downtown Warrensburg.

Lk. Geo. Chamber, bed tax awards criticized in wake of B.I.D. defeat By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE  GEORGE —    The  proposal  to  establish a Business Improvement District in the village of Lake George was rejected last week by  downtown  commercial  property  owners,  but  community leaders say that merchants are undeterred  in  their  commitment  to  boosting  the  village’s business climate. John  Carr  of  Adirondack  Pub  &  Brewery,  who successfully campaigned against the B.I.D.  because of how it established a new layer of taxes, told village trustees Jan. 14  that both those  for and against the B.I.D. formation supported  the objective of business development and promotion — but he said existing entities in charge  of  tourism  and  marketing  weren’t  adequately  fulfilling their missions. “We were not opposed to the B.I.D. as a marketing vehicle, just the taxation involved,” Carr  said,  noting  he  was  in  favor  of  a  continuing  discussion  between  downtown  business  proprietors  about  how  to  boost  business  through  shared  marketing  and  promotion  initiatives.  Blais  predicted  that  such  communication  in  the  business  community  would  indeed  go  forward.  He  said  he  expected  the  B.I.D.  steering  committee — which had been meeting for many  months and was developing potential businessboosting initiatives — would continue to meet. Carr  also  denounced  the  way  occupancy  tax  revenue  was  alllocated,  and  he  questioned  whether  the  Lake  George  Chamber  of  Commerce was as active as it should be in boosting  the  fortunes  of  commercial  enterprises  —  and  he criticized the group for not creating new local events. “The  Chamber  is  under-serving  the  tourism  business  community  —  and  lack  of  membership  among  village  businesses  is  evidence  of  this,” he said, suggesting that the Chamber redefine its role in the community and work more  effectively in pursuing its objectives. “Most everyone I talk with is unhappy with the Chamber  and the way Occupancy Tax is spent — changes  need to be made.” Lake  George  Chamber  President  Michael  Consuelo countered Carr’s contentions. He said  Chamber officials were indeed busy in boosting  tourism.

“We’re  not  just  selling  the  Chamber’s  membership,  we’re  promoting  Lake  George,  the  brand,  and  the  entire  county,”  he  said,  noting  that  the  Chamber  is  busy  year-round  answering inquiries, as well as soliciting and arranging  conventions, tours and conferences. Consuelo  added  that  his  organization  is  bringing  plenty  of  people  to  Lake  George  that  otherwise might not visit.  “Lake George and Warren County is benefiting now from all the people we draw here,” he  said,  noting  that  the  Chamber  advises  tourists  at  the  Lake  George  Visitors  Center,  plus  it  entices potential tourists at the Northway Exit 18  rest stop information center and the Exit 21 outlet mall tourist center. He said he would be meeting soon with Carr  and  other  downtown  merchants  to  hear  their  input and discuss potential initiatives. Carr  also  said  Jan.  13  that  sales  tax  revenue  should  not  be  allocated  in  Warren  County  by  property valuation, but it should be distributed  back to municipalities in proportion to where it  is generated. He noted that while the town of Bolton hosts  relatively few businesses, it receives about $3.6  million  annually  in  sales  tax  revenue,  while  Lake  George  Village  —  with  its  hundreds  of  businesses and hundreds of thousands of visitors annually — only receives about $600,000 in  sales tax revenue. “We  are  not  getting  our  fair  shake,  and  this  discrepancy  is  bound  to  get  worse  with  rising  property values,” he said. On the subject of county Occupancy Tax revenue  distribution,  Carr  said  that  much  of  the  money  was  spent  by  the  county  for  purposes  not  directly  related  to  business  promotion  as  was  originally  intended.  He  also  suggested  that business proprietors be represented on the  county  committee that allocates the revenue to  various events and enterprises. Blais  said  he  was  aware  of  such  concerns  aired by Carr and other business owners. “There  are  things  now  in  the  works  to  keep  these issues on the table and work things out,”  he said, adding that he was now developing a  proposal for new guidelines for occupancy tax  allocation, and he would soon be sharing them  with the county Board of Supervisors. Blais  said  he  also  supported  representation  on  the  occupancy  tax  committee  by  business

owners, and he was concerned how some event  promoters were “double dipping.” He was also  concerned  that  the  county  and  its  municipalities had different criteria for allocating the revenue to enterprises, and some event promoters  had to make up to four separate applications for  funding.

He  also  said  adding  decision  makers  to  the  panel of selected county supervisors would enhance  the  allocation  process  by  adding  people  who  had  first-hand  knowledge  of  the  value  of  particular  events  to  local  communities’  economies.

MOAS Dinner-Dance set at North Warren

CHESTERTOWN — On Jan. 18 the North Warren MOAS (Model Organization of American  States) Class will be holding an International Delight Dinner-Dance as a fundraiser. The group is  inviting the North Warren community to join in a night of fun. The MOAS Class is a college-level course taken through SUNY Plattsburgh. It is a model of the  Organization of American States, which brings together diplomats from  nations in North, South  and Central America, as well as the Caribbean. Students prepare resolutions and debate on behalf of them at a mock summit in June at SUNY  Plattsburgh. It is an opportunity for students to learn about political relations, develop public  speaking skills and prepare for college. This dinner is the main fundraiser for the class. It will raise money for a trip to Washington  D.C. for a meeting with an ambassador of the U.S. and Venezuela to the OAS. This meeting will  allow students to gain that country’s views on different topics and hear their opinions on the  students’ resolutions.  Dinner including an array of desserts will be provided. The price is $8 in advance, $10 at the  door and $30 for families of four or more. The dinner will start at 5 p.m. followed by dancing.

here’s still time to make a pair of important New Year’s health resolutions. Smokers should  make every effort to quit. Society should make every attempt to prevent people from starting to smoke — including raising the minimum age to purchase tobacco from 18 to 21. We’ve  known  the  dangers  of  smoking  for  years,  but  a  milestone  this  month  should  serve  to  remind us smoking kills. It was 50 years ago this month a landmark U.S. Surgeon General’s report  that linked smoking with bad health was issued. It was the first time Americans were told directly  smoking kills. The government has updated the report 32 times in the five decades since. Those  reports,  along  with  the  work  of  doctors  and  other  health  professionals,  have  made  an  impact. In 1965, 42 percent of the population smoked. Today, 19 percent of Americans do, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC claims government anti-smoking  efforts have saved 8 million lives. That’s wonderful progress, but work remains to be done. An estimated 43.8 million Americans  still smoke and experts claim the decline in smoking has plateaued. People aren’t quitting anymore. Smoking remains the No. 1 cause of preventable death in the United States. It kills more people  than obesity, substance abuse, infectious  disease, firearms and traffic  accidents,  according to  the  CDC. About  443,000 Americans  die  from  smoking-related  illnesses  every  year,  according  to  the  U.S. Department of Health. Americans know smoking kills. It’s becoming more and more socially unacceptable. It’s expensive. It’s banned in most public places. Yet millions continue to do it. Why? A combination of psychological and biological factors are to blame, according to scientists. “The chemicals in cigarettes work on the structures deep within a smoker’s brain, literally rewiring  it  so  the  habit  becomes  deeply  ingrained,”  Jed  Rose,  the  director  of  the  Duke  Center  for  Smoking Cessation in North Carolina, said in a recent CNN report. “Every move a smoker makes:  the lighting of the cigarette, the inhaling, all the feelings and sensations of it, the whole package  becomes highly addictive.” Most smokers believe its easy to quit — before they actually try to stop, according to scientists. “Ultimately, they will lose their capacity to make a free choice to smoke,” Rose said. “Then 30  years later, that’s when we typically see them in our program desperately trying to quit, because  now they can’t go a single day without (a cigarette).” The  World  Health  Organization  has  termed  tobacco  a  “gradual  killer.”  It  notes  many  young  people start to smoke believing they can stop before suffering ill effects.  While it’s never too late to  quit, quitting is often much tougher than simply recognizing the problem. Avoiding cigarettes all together is the best way to steer clear of tobacco-related addiction and  illness. That means keeping them away from children and young people, which is the reason many  are calling for an increase in the legal age to 21 to purchase cigarettes. New York City had already  taken that action. Some New York counties — Nassau and Suffolk on Long Island — have raised  the legal age for purchasing cigarettes to 19. New York State should follow their lead. If not, local  governments should. While  tobacco  advertising  has  been  banned  on  television  and  the  dangers  of  cigarettes  have  become well known, temptation remains. Several studies show tobacco marketing and advertising works and increases the likelihood that  youth will start smoking. In 2011, cigarette companies spent $8.37 billion on ads and promotional  expenses in the United States alone, according to the CDC. That breaks down to about $23 million  a day or $27 for every American per year. Tobacco use is an issue everyone should care about — smokers and non-smokers. It’s expensive  for everyone. Smoking cost the United States more than $193 billion a year, according to the CDC, including  $97 billion in lost productivity and $96 billion in direct health care expenditures. That’s an average  of $4,260 per adult smoker. It’s a price we all pay.

Turning Back the Pages By Jean Hadden

•100 years ago — Jan. 1914•

History seen as it really was

Nearly everyone has something, big or small, that they enjoy  collecting. Rare plants, seashells, snow globes, coins, you name  it. My passion for collecting started many long years ago when  I visited at the home of my late friend, Warrensburgh’s eminent  historian,  Stewart  Farrar.  He  had  a  vast  collection  of  history  books, which including volumes from the 18th and 19th century.  Those fragile, cracked leather, handmade books, bound in leather — now cracked, written by people who had long since turned  to  dust,  always  fascinated  me  —  and  soon  after  I  went  on  my  own quest to acquire such treasures. In  the  years  to  come  it  was  my  good  fortune  to  have  my  daughter and son-in-law, Kayce and Jim Dimond, become wellknown  historical  paper  dealers  and  managers  of  estate  sales.  I  purchased some of the best dusty tomes that many old Vermont  attics had housed for many generations and whose pages really  spoke  to  me.  In  many  cases  the  writings  were  about  local  history, seen first hand, or stories told to the authors by older family  members.

Lake George’s hidden secrets

Last October, the archeologists’ discovery of artifacts near Million Dollar Beach parking lot that could date back as far as 8000  years, shut down parking lot and roadwayconstruction plans to  be temporarily shut down. The find included a lot of arrowheads  and a  spearhead  that was about  eight  inches  long.  This  indicateed  that  Lake  George  was  a  hotbed  of  activity  for  American  Indians  long  before  it  became  the  site  of  numerous  battles  and  encampments during the French and Indian War era. Over  the  years  It  has  been  in  the  news  many  times  that  village workman digging for a water pipe or whatever, discovered  yet another skeleton of some poor soul who perished during the  famous  1756  aftermath  of  General  Montcalm’s  famous  siege  of  Fort William Henry. Even as this tale is well known, a tourist would be hard put to  visualize this blood-thirsty event as it actually happened as they  drive through the town’s modern, peaceful 21st century village.

The detailed account of the fort’s seige

I have a well worn book in my collection entitled, “A History  of the State of Vermont from its Discovery and Settlement,” written by Nathan Hoskins and published by J. Shedd in 1831 in Vergennes, Vt. Besides Vermont history, the book also includes area  Adirondack history and it was published only 75 years after the

Ice jam floods Thurman roadway

A  stretch  of  River  Road  which  runs  alongside  the  Hudson  River  in  Thurman  was  closed  on  the  evening  of  Sunday,  Jan.  12 due to flooding, caused by an ice jam in the river. The road  was cleared of ice by the Thurman town highway crew and reopened in less than 24 hours, and a channel in the river opened,  allowing water to flow downstream. The type of flooding we have seen over the past few weeks is  extremely rare for this time of year, something we usually only  see  during  mid-  to  late  March.  Use  caution  while  driving  our  roads here in town, as we all know too well a flash flood could  come through at any time washing out roads in its course.

Thoughts about living in a remote area

Ever  since  I  was  a  young  child,  I’ve  had  a  desire  to  live  on  a dirt road in the middle of nowhere and I have achieved that  goal.  I  have  discovered  that  there  are  some  minor  drawbacks  to this, however, and I chuckle at some and ponder others. For  one  thing,  when  you  go  out  to  town  and  forget  that  one  item  you had to have you must debate just how important it was. Is  it indeed important enough to turn around and go get it, or can  it wait until tomorrow? When I was pregnant for my last child,  I wanted to use cloth diapers and came upon a stumbling block  when  I  discovered  that  no  service  would  come  to  our  remote  territory far to deliver or retrieve the diapers.

Dirt roads and trash removal issues

Living  in  a  remote  area  on  a  dirt  or  gravel  road  gives  local  residents  an  enjoyable  connection  with  nature,  but  it  raises  some problems. Take for example trash collection service by Ace  Carting,  which  has  been  servicing  Thurman  for  the  past  year  since  municipal  collection  was  discontinued.  Recently,  calls  have  been  received  about Ace  Carting’s  service  —  apparently  Ace Carting has decided to no longer pick up some residents’  waste,  without  advance  notification.  When  contacted,  an  Ace  employee  said  they  couldn’t  pick  up  trash  during  the  winter  from  residents  who  live  on  dirt  roads.  Those  in  need  of  trash  removal — residing on dirt or paved roads — may contact Jim  Desourdy of Thurman at 623-4524. Desourdy picks up weekly  for a fee of $5.

Keeler getting help on food pantry duties

While the Myrna Keeler has been on vacation enjoying muchneeded  rest  and  relaxation,  several  Thurman  residents  have  stepped up to the plate to try as best they can to fill her shoes at  the Food Pantry.  A big Thank You goes out to Ruth Keller and

famous  Lake  George  massacre. As  Hoskins  describes  the  aftermath  of  the  bloody  event,  it  is  likely  that  he  spoke  with  some  elderly people who had once been there in their youth and survived the bloodbath or people who had heard detailed descriptions from older members of their family.

A day spent in Hell

Nathan  Hoskins’  detailed  narration  of  the  aftermath  of  Marquis de Montcalm’s attack on Fort William Henry is not for the  faint of heart. After the French general’s trip south down Lake George from  Ticonderoga, he attacked Fort William Henry with 500 men and a  vast army of about 600 Indian volunteers to further advance the  French  cause  in America.  The  fort  was  commanded  by  English  officer  Colonel  Monroe  who  had  under  his  command  regulars  and  provincials  stationed  at  Fort  William  Henry  and  nearby  in  the area that would later become Fort George. Colonel Monroe  expected and depended upon relief from General Webb at Fort  Edward  who  showed  little  interest  in  Monroe’s  desperate  dilemma and failed to make an appearance. Monroe defended his  precarious position from August 3 to 9, 1756. On the 9th, many of  Monroe’s guns burst and with his ammunition expended, he was  therefore obliged to surrender.

Hoskins describes a blood bath

General Montcalm was an honorable man. On Aug. 9 articles  of  capitulation  were  signed,  the  terms  of  which  were  that  the  vanquished should retain their arms and be escorted to Fort Edward. The possession of the fort was then immediately given to  the French. It wasn’t long before Montcalm realized that his Indian volunteers had no respect for him and were no longer under  his control. Hoskins wrote, “The Indians, ignoring Montcalm’s command,  rushed instantly over the parapet and seized such articles as they  could, with impunity, then they commenced their depredations  upon the baggage of the officers, which was represented as a violation  of  the  terms  of  the  capitulation.  But  in  contempt  of  this,  the Indians attached to the French army fell upon the defenseless  prisoners and massacred whoever came in their way. The whole  garrison,  consisting  of  2,000  men,  women  and  children,  out  of  which  1,500  were  killed  or  made  prisoners  and  many  of  them  never returned.” When  Major  Putnam  arrived  with  a  company  of  rangers  to  watch  the  movements  of  Montcalm,  he  found  that  he  was  too  late and Montcalm and his army had already embarked on their  return  to  Ticonderoga.  “The  prospect  was  awful  and  horrid  in

the  highest  degree.  The  fort  was  demolished,  the  barracks  and  outhouses were a heap of ruins, the cannon stores and utensils  were carried away, the fires were still burning with smoke and  stench  suffocating  and  offensive.  Numberless  fragments  of  human skulls, bones and carcasses half consumed, were still broiling and frying in the decaying fires. Dead bodies mangled with  scalping knives, in all the wantonness of Indian barbarity were  everywhere to be seen.” Major Putnam, with his command, took to the trail of the marauders, which soon became strewed with fragments of plunder  dropped  by  the  rapidly  retreating  savages  as  they  faded  away  into the forest and in their canoes.

Horrors better left unwritten

Hoskins  described  in  detail  how  more  than  100  woman,  inhumanly  stabbed  and  butchered,  lay  naked  on  the  ground  but  I think that I would be wrong to go into further detail because  his detailed description of the corpses is just too graphic. He did  write that the spectacle was far too horrid to be described or endured. The bodies of the dead were buried in a trench near the  scene of massacre a few yards east of the picketed enclosure of  the fort. French historians would later only admit to 110 scalps  being taken. In Smith’s 1885 History of Warren County, there is a story of  finding the corpse of a woman who had been mutilated and fastened to a sapling who had been tortured and scalped. Speaking  of two oxen left by the Indians, it was written, “One of the oxen  had no other injury than to have one of its horns cut out. It was  still alive and bellowing with agony. This they were obliged to  kill.” “Another ox had been regularly scalped. The animal was afterwards driven to the lake, where it immediately became an object  of sympathy and attention of the whole army. By careful attendance and nursing, the wound healed in the course of the season.  In  the  fall  the  animal  was  driven  down  to  the  farm  of  Colonel  Schuyler,  near  Albany,  and  the  following  year  was  shipped  to  England for exhibition as a curiosity. Far and wide it was known  as the scalped ox.”

Further blood, glory & honorable death

Later  in  1758,  General  Montcalm  defended  Ticonderoga  and  then proceeded to go to the defense of Quebec where he died a  heroic death in 1759 fighting against British General James Wolfe  who died also there on the Plains of Abraham.

Many  of  our  favorite  flowers  and  vegetables,  including  tomatoes, peppers, squash and beans, evolved in places such as  Central America and Mexico where they had many more hours  of sunlight in their growing season than they can get in most of  the U.S. Seeds will not sprout in soil that is still cold in spring  and  the  fruits  need  more  sun  to  ripen  than  is  available  in  the  waning days of autumn.

Letters to the Editor

Lake George B.I.D. process was one-sided To the Editor: The recent victory in the defeat of the proposed Business Improvement  District  in  the  Village  of  Lake  George  is  significant  because the entire process for its approval was a stacked deck.   The  committee  was  hand-picked  by  the  mayor,  not  by  the  business  community  as  BIDs  were  designed,  guaranteeing  a  “Yes” vote of the committee. Mayor  Blais  was  quoted  in  the  Post-Star  as  saying  110  votes  were needed to pass the BID proposition.  After four tries, everyone, including himself, knew that exempt properties don’t count

and  the  real  number  of  properties  in  the  proposed  district,  in  fact, was 74.  Blais later stated that after calling the Conference  of  Mayors,  that  indeed,  exempt  properties  don’t  count.    When  you’re the mayor of a tiny village who knows these things well  after four attempts at a BID, to say otherwise is ingenious. The  vote  was  conveniently  scheduled  for  the  dead  of  winter  when many owners are away or cannot be reached.  This gave a  decided advantage to the pro-BID group. To  vote  “No”  on  the  proposition,  a  property  owner  had  to  identify  himself  as  a  “No”  vote  which  carries  the  fear,  real  or  imagined, of reprisal from the powers that be. In  order  to  vote,  the  ballot  required  a  notarized  signature.   This  was  yet  another  impediment  for  the  voter  on  the  way  to  the ballot box.  When the major was asked at the public hearing on Dec. 4 by

business owner John Carr if ballots would be mailed to all potential voters, mayor Blais said No they would not, citing expense  as the reason.  Carr said that he would reimburse the Village for  postage  and  envelopes  at  his  expense  but  the  answer  was  still  No. Apparently an informed voter is to be avoided. The last day when ballots could be counted was Jan. 6.  The  BID  voting  website  was  taken  down  before  Jan.  6,  making  it  impossible for someone who wished to vote on the last day by  downloading a ballot.  This of course aided the pro-BID initiative.   Thanks to the business voters who despite the roadblocks  to the polls and the crony committee, chose to stand up, be identified and say No, the BID was defeated.  Imagine what the tally  would have been with full disclosure and a level playing field.  George McGowan Lake George

Cuomo

from page 1

Cuomo: Tax cuts will boost prosperity

His tax cut proposals, announced earlier this week, total $2.2  billion. They are aimed at curbing an exodus of people and corporations — concerned about preserving their assets — from the  state.  He  said  that  whether  New  Yorkers  were  wealthy  or  had  modest incomes, they were taxed far too much. Cuomo called for a  two-year  property-tax  freeze for  middleclass families, noting that municipal and school taxes, as a proportion  of  home  value,  are  exceedingly  high  in  upstate  New  York. In  this plan, homeowners who live  in municipalities  that  stay within the 2 percent tax cap will receive a rebate that equals  any annual increase in taxes. In addition, he proposed a  property tax “circuit breaker” that  would give low and modest-income homeowners a state income  tax credit of $1,000 for those earning $120,000 or less. A similar  tax  credit  would  be  extended  to  taxpayers  whose  income  was  $100,000 or less. Also  proposed  was  raising  the  threshold  of  the  state’s  estate  tax,  allowing  citizens  to  pass  more  assets  down  to  their  heirs  without taxes. Noting that thousands of New Yorkers now move  to  Florida  so  they  can  avoid  estate  taxes,  he  proposed  raising  New  York’s  estate  tax  threshold  from  $1  million  to  the  current  federal level of $5.5 million — and lowering the top tax rate to  10 percent. For manufacturers, Cuomo suggested a zero percent corporate  income tax rate for upstate enterprises and a 20 percent corporate  property  tax  credit  statewide  —  both  to  boost  job  creation  and entice out-of-state and foreign firms to relocate in New York.  He also suggested cutting the corporate franchise tax rate from  7.1 to 6.5 percent — and eliminating a utility surcharge tax of 2  percent to boost businesses’ competitive edge.

Education technology a top priority

In  the  realm  of  education,  Cuomo  proposed  borrowing  $2  billion  for  a  Smart  Schools  initiative  that  would  provide  computer equipment including servers, wireless networking, digital

teaching tools and administrative programs for school districts.  It would also equip students with computer tablets and desktop  consoles — as well as promoting broadband access throughout  communities. “The most effective long-term strategy is to have the best education system in the world — period!” he said.

Plan to extend pre-k, reward excellence

Cuomo also said full-day pre-kindergarten should be universal throughout New York, adding that the state should bankroll  constructing the classrooms needed. Also  proposed  was  boosting  the  partnership  between  high  schools,  colleges,  government  and  employers  to  prepare  students for fulfilling technology careers in-state. Cuomo also said that free tuition to SUNY colleges, 4-year or  2-year, should be extended to high school students who rank in  the top 10 percent of their respective classes. Expressing alarm about a downstate case of extreme religious  harassment, Cuomo proposed requiring all schools to report incidences of harassment or bullying  to a variety of authorities.

Initiatives eyed to increase tourism

Tourism is also to be a focus of economic development in the  plan. Rather than requiring outdoor sports enthusiasts to carry  separate various hunting, fishing, trapping and boating licenses  — and a state parks pass — citizens could have them all appearing as icons on their drivers’ license. Cuomo  also  announced  his  plan  —  without  divulging  details  —  to  create  50  new  “outdoor  access  projects”  that  would  include building new boat launches, erecting hunting blinds and  constructing  new  trails  and  parking  areas.For  the  state  parks,  Cuomo  calls  for  computer-automating  the  reservation,  permit  and park entry functions. “Let’s  redouble  our  tourism  efforts,  because  in  New  York,  seeing  is  believing,”  he  said.  “Once  people  come  here,  they’re  hooked.” Also,  he  proposed  erecting  highway  signs  —  coupled  with  smartphone apps — that direct people off Interstate routes to local cultural attractions. “Our goal is to get tourists off the highways and into our com-

January 18, 2014 munities to boost local commerce,” he said.  Cuomo also set a timetable for casino development plans upstate,  calling  for  bids  to  be  due  in  June,  with  sites  and  gaming  operators to be announced by October.

Biomass and solar initiatives planned

Also proposed was launching two programs: Renewable Heat  NY and BuildSmart NY. The former calls for establishing incentives to encourage municipalities, homeowners and enterprises  to heat with biomass fuels including low-grade wood products.  The latter is to encourage solar heating by offering incentives for  entire  neighborhoods  adjacent  to  an  existing  solar  installation  to  go  green.  Cuomo  said  that  adopting  biomass  and  solar  heat  would keep more money recirculating in the state.

Infrastructure reconstruction proposed

Concerned about the vulnerability of the state’s infrastructure  to  the  recent  emergence  of  violent,  destructive  storms,  Cuomo  proposed embarking on a major $17 billion project to reconstruct  and upgrade bridges, subway tunnels railways and utility installations  to  make  them  withstand  such  events  —  and  help  communities be adequately prepared. The “Re-imagining New York  for a New Reality” program would also help individuals, businesses  and  communities  recover  from  past  storm  events,  boost  emergency  preparedness  and  response  capabilities,  as  well  as  construct coastal protection barriers, flood-proof vehicle tunnels  and major utility infrastructure. A sum of $7.1 billion would go toward rebuilding 100 bridges  that were either damaged by the storms of recent years, or upgrade those vulnerable to future storms. Five of these bridges are  in the Adirondack Park. “This  will  be  the  largest  reconstruction  project  the  state  has  ever  undertaken,”  he  said,  noting  the  Rebuild  NY  initiative  would be underwritten by federal money. Also proposed was developing a new SUNY College of Emergency Preparedness, Homeland Security & Cybersecurity — the  first  in  the  nation  —  as  well  as  launching  a  community-based  Citizen First Responder Corps.

Broadband from page 1

The  positive  vote  evoked  cheers  and  applause  from  the  audience,  who  earlier  had  watched  a  demonstration  of  whitespace technology. They experienced a wireless video-conference  broadcast  from  an  off-the-grid  cabin  belonging  to  Eric  Lohrey,  an  architectural  engineer.  In  this  live  broadcast,  Lohrey  talked  of the how white-space broadband would allow him to pursue  his career more effectively from his remote rural setting.  He was  joined  by  Shiela  Flanagan  of  Nettle  Meadow  Farm,  who  spoke  of how the white-space wireless would allow her to expand her  rural business — producing cheese that’s nationally acclaimed. State Sen. Betty Little told the crowd of how Thurman’s pilot  project would serve as an example of how broadband could be  brought to other rural, wooded remote communities across the  state. “This  wireless  broadband  project  is  about  providing  for  the  health and safety of local residents — and it’s the future of education  and  the  community’s  economy,”  she  said.  Little  noted  how  in  public  schools,  students  are  expected  to  be  connected  to the Internet at home and at school to gather information and  complete their assignments. “Many  schools  are  not  even  using  textbooks  anymore,”  she  said.  Little  added  that  the  “white  space”  technology  was  considered  the  best  option  to  keep  households  connected  to  the  Internet,  and  this  would  attract  more  vacationers  and  secondhomeowners  who  could  be  productive  while  in  their  getaway  residences, able to do their homework — and access information  — over the Internet. Some  critics  of  the  project  suggested  that  the  $200,000  grant  that Little and Stec had procured for the project would be better  spent  by  laying  miles  of  fiber-optic  cable  down  the  rural  roads  and  connecting  to  Time-Warner  Cable.  But  Engelmann  replied  that it would be too costly, and Little said that she was aware of  many  households  elsewhere  couldn’t  obtain  service  from  Time  Warner and other firms for years because it wasn’t profitable for  the corporations. She  warned  that  if  Thurman  didn’t  take  advantage  of  this

grant on a timely basis, the money would be turned over to other  unconnected communities that also applied for state money. “If  you  don’t  take  this  grant,  someone  else  will,”  she  said.  Three members of the five-member board had formerly supported conducting more research into the various available technologies.  Engelmann  told  the  crowd  that  conducting  such  research  might postpone any broadband access for Thurman for a decade. Stec  told  the  crowd  of  local  citizens  how  the  wireless  broadband would protect their home values, boost their children’s education, and allow professionals to work from home — so their  pay would be spent locally rather than in metropolitan communities elsewhere. “People will be able to have their Manhattan paychecks  paid  here in Thurman,” he said, noting how it would boost Thurman’s  rural economy. “Internet access here is a tremendous plus.” He  added  that  various  rural  enterprises  in  Thurman  needed  this cutting-edge technology to survive. “Nowadays, businesses without fast Internet connections are  dead in the water.” Thurman Town Clerk Cynthia Hyde read more than a dozen  lengthy letters in support of white-space broadband, citing how  it would enrich their lives, boost the productivity of their enterprises and connect them with family and friends. The letters described of the expense and inconvenience and slow data transfer  of  satellite  reception,  including  the  data  caps  and  charges  that  escalated  with  their  usage,  unlike  the  white-space  installation,  which has not data caps or extra charges.

Adirondack Journal - 11 Engelmann,  who  is  likely  to  maintain  the  broadband  system,  aswered  more  than  a  dozen  questions  about  the  technology posed by audience members. Engelmann has said that if the  project moves forward right away, dozens of households could  be connected by this summer. After the board’s decision in favor  of the project, the council voted to award the bids for the white  space equipment. Minutes after the vote, Ava Ashendorff, one of the founders of  the white-space project, let out a sigh of relief. She’s worked for  Engelmann  as  a  volunteer  to  help  Thurman  obtain  broadband  access. “We’re  very  excited  the  town  understands  the  need  to  move  forward into the future,” she said. Stec offered similar thoughts. “I applaud the board for moving forward,” he said. (See www.adirondackjournal.com for the expanded version of this article.)

Owens

from page 1 2009.  There is no word if Owens is planning on endorsing any candidate to run for the 21st Congressional District seat in November.  Three  Republicans,  Joseph  Gilbert  of  St.  Lawrence  County,  Michael Ring of Jefferson County, and Elise Stefanik of Essex County have already announced their intent to run for Owens’ seat.  No  Democrats  have  announced  the  intention  to  run  yet,  but  Randy Douglas (D-Jay), Jay Supervisor and Essex County Board  of Supervisors Chairman, said he would have to discuss the matter with his family and staff, but would not rule out the possibility of running.  “Politics aside, Bill has been an excellent Congressman,” said  state  Assemblywoman  Janet  Duprey.  “On  a  personal  level  I’m  going to miss him. I wish him the very best going forward.” “I  want  to  thank  Congressman  Owens  for  his  service  representing  this  district.  I  think  regardless  of  which  side  of  the  isle  you’re  on,  he  should  be  commended  for  being  an  advocate  on  behalf of New York 21,” Stefanik said.

Gallery to feature artwork of Hillary Fayle & Yari Ostovany LAKE GEORGE —  A two-person exhibit of recent artwork by  Hillary Fayle and  Yari Ostovany opens Saturday Jan. 18 at the  Lake  George  Arts  Project’s  Courthouse  Gallery  with  an  artists  reception set for 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.. This  showing  of  Fayle’s  artwork  features  a  collection  of  her  intricate embroidery of leaves and other natural found objects. The artwork of Ostovany showcased in the exhibit is a selection of his richly hued, layered abstract paintings. There is no charge for the reception. The gallery is located in  the Old County Courthouse building, side entrance, off Amherst  St. Several  years  ago.  Fayle  began  stitching  on  unconventional  materials while studying embroidery during a semester abroad  in Manchester, England.  She began using found materials and  fabric  and  later  turned  to  natural  biodegradable  objects.  In  her  recent  work  she  carefully  selects  materials  from  the  natural  world, primarily leaves. She then either cuts or stitches into them using a mix of traditional and original embroidery patterns and techniques. Fayle said she seeks to convey the delicate yet elaborate balance of nature in her work. “I feel that the elaborate stitching reflects the intricate patterns  and incredible detail found in the natural world,” she said. Fayle has a degree in Fiber Design from SUNY Buffalo.  Her  work  was  recently  featured  on  the  covers  of  Fiber  Arts  Now  Magazine  and  the  British  publication  Embroidery  Magazine.

Also, she was awarded the Platte Clove Artist Residency in the  Catskill Mountains of New York.Fayle is originally from Forestport, NY a rural town of 1,500 or so people in the Western Adirondacks.  Ostovany’s  paintings  are  considered  records  of  an  intuitive  journey  involving  cultural  memory  —  densely  layered  compo-

sitions made over time with numerous layers of thick and thin  washes and glazes.  His work incorporates allusions to myths and literature, often  exploring the sense of existence. He often works in a series, which has its origin in a cognitive  or  emotional  spark,  an  experience  which  is  used  as  a  point  of  departure. “I  look  for  a  sense  of  resonance,  not  a  representation  of  the  spiritual energy but a translation of it into light and texture, navigating the space between stasis and movement,” he said, noting  that he’s always been interested in the mechanics of the relationship between Persian and Western Art. “Living in the space between two cultures, I traverse the space between the East and the  West,  the  nomadic  in-between  spaces:  between  emergence  and  disappearance, between the solid and the void,” he said.   Born  in  Iran  in  1962,  Yari  Ostovany  moved  to  the  United  States at the age of 16 and pursued his studies in Art first at the  University of Nevada, and then at the San Francisco Art Institute  where he earned his BFA and MFA. Ostovany has taught, traveled  and  exhibited  extensively  in  the  U.S.  and  internationally,  and  has  received  various  grants.  He  currently  lives  in  the  San  Francisco Bay Area.   This  exhibition  is  funded  in  part  by  Hacker  Boat  Company.  The  Courthouse  Gallery  hours  during  exhibitions  are  Tuesday  through  Friday  noon  to  5  p.m.,  Saturday  from  noon  to  4  p.m.,  and otherwise by appointment.

All of those attending the event snowshoed the Natural Stone  Bridge Cave trail, and viewed the largest cave entrance in eastern U.S. as well as the frozen waterfalls nearby. Some of the snowshoers walked the trail beside Trout Brook,  which hosts an active beaver colony. Others explored the venue’s  Hidden Trail system, which entails a moderately steep climb, to  see dramatic natural vistas. Other  participants  hiked  up  Catamount  Hill  and  Green  Hill,  in  three  to  four-hour  excursions  that  offered  panoramic  wintry  views. Beckler said he was happy to host the Community Day to give  more  local  people  a  glimpse  of  the  many  attributes  of  Natural  Stone Bridge & Caves property, which encompasses 1,000 acres. “They really enjoyed their experience, and I am expecting they  will be telling their friends and family members about the diversity of terrain and things to see here at Natural Stone Bridge &  Caves.”

Local residents discover wintry wonders at Stone Bridge & Caves By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com POTTERSVILLE —    Embarking  on  snowshoe  expeditions,  about  50  area  residents  explored  the  vast  acreage  of  Natural  Stone Bridge & Caves during the venue’s Community Day held  Saturday Jan. 4. People from all walks of life traversed one or more of the variety of trails, a total of 12.5 miles of them — and returned for a  bonfire, complete with a marshmallow roast and the warm welcome of the Beckler family, proprietors of the noted attraction. Over half of those attending Community Day — a complimentary gesture to local residents — obtained season passes with the  intent to return and explore further on the trail system and experience more of the natural wonders the Stone Bridge property  features, Greg Beckler said.

NW Trailblazers sled group offers various events, benefits

CHESTERTOWN  —  The  Northern  Warren Trailblazers Snowmobile Club, which will  soon be holding its premier annual party this  next week, has experienced remarkable growth  during its 20 years of existence. The  Trailblazers  club  was  established  in  1994 as a not-for profi t corporation with about  20  members.    Today  the  club  has  grown  to  an  average  annual  membership  of  700,  with  snowmobilers from many other states from the  northeastern U.S.. A $25 family membership in  the  club  provides  a  $45  discount  on  the  New  York State snowmobile registration fee, and in  many cases provides an additional discount on liability insurance. The  club  is  operated  on  a  volunteer  basis,  maintaining  continuous  68  miles  of  groomed  trails  that  allow  snowmobilers  to  go  from  Warrensburg  to  Chestertown,  Brant  Lake,  Pottersville,  Schroon Lake and Hague.  The club is working on linking North Warren trails with trail systems of  Southern Warren Trailblazers and Thurman Connection Snowmobile Club so that riders can travel  to and from our area, through Lake George, Lake Luzerne, Washington County and as far away as  Vermont and Canada. Also, the Trailblazers also voluntarily groom the ski and sliding hills at Dynamite Hill in Chestertown, which is open at no charge to the public.   The  Trailblazer  members  enjoy  participating  in  local  events  like  they  did  in  the  2013  Warren  County Bicentennial parade and festival.  During the winter, they host events which include picnics and cookouts on the trail system as  well as a club rides, which gives members of all abilities the opportunity to ride in other locations  with members who have previously been over those trails. Such trips have included excursions to  northern New York and Canada. This year’s club ride is scheduled for Feb. 15 through Feb. 17.  For details, see: http://northernwarrentrailblazers.snowclubs.com or their FaceBook page for details.   The  Trailblazers’  clubhouse  on  Knapp  Hill  in  Chestertown  is  open  on  weekends  during  the  riding season for all snowmobilers riding the trail system to use as a warm-up stop and rest-room  break. Riders stopping in are offered free coffee, cocoa and popcorn. The clubhouse is also available for local organizations to use, free of charge, for educational seminars and meetings of civic  organizations.   The core of the Northern Warren Trailblazers membership is about 20 die-hard snowmobiling  members who are committed to making the riding experience an enjoyable one for area sled enthusiasts — and getting the trails ready is no easy job. In addition to grooming, these volunteers  contact land owners to obtain permission to use their lands for new trails.  Trail maintenance —  including trimming brush and cleaning up downed trees, building new trails, and installing trail  culverts — is required on a year-round basis.  Event  coordination  and  planning  are  also  important.    Website  management  and  social  media  outreach are vital in communicating with members as well as attracting new ones.  Looking toward the future, the club hopes to recruit more local businesses to become actively  involved as  monthly meetings are held at their club house and club news is posted on the Trailblazers’ website.  Several years ago, the snowmobile club provided to Warren County a report of sales tax and  business income generated by snowmobiling, and these numbers are substantial, confi rming that  this sport has a huge benefi t to local businesses, a club offi cial said this week.  At this time, the North Warren Trailblazers are in need  of more volunteers to join in the fun and  the work they face — and club offi cials believe that young people are needed to assure the future  of this organization. To encourage new riders, the Trailblazers club offers snowmobile safety courses annually.  Completion of a safety course is required for youthful operators 16 years and younger and is recommended for all riders of any age to learn trail etiquette.
