FAMILY TRADITION

BOLTON

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY Ñ State Fire Instructor Issachar Ò IzzyÓ Modert looked at a lineup of volunteer firefighters in formal dress standing in front of a crowd that had just hailed them with a standing ovation.

Minutes earlier, they had been presented with certificates hailing their graduation from a basic firefighting course.

Modert offered some advice to the many area fire officers present to witness the ceremony. Ò Continue to teach them, encourage them, keep them eager and dedicated so their children too may serve,Ó he said.

A total of 20 volunteers from Warren, Saratoga and Washington counties completed the course Ñ 18 young men and women were certified in basic firefighting, and two others in Ò scene support operations.Ó These new firefighters were sponsored by their hometown fire companies in Warrensburg, Stony Creek, Chestertown, Bay Ridge/Queensbury, Pilot Knob, Fort Ann, West Glens Falls, South Glens Falls and Kingsbury.

Questions remain with LG hotel project BySeth Lang seth@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ Village Planning Board members have requested more information before they vote on the proposed Canada Street Courtyard Marriott project in downtown Lake George.

Board members provided a list of requests for developer Dave Kenny Wednesday night, Jan. 15, including a Ò ballon testÓ to simulate the size of the proposed

six-story hotel and conference center.

Other concerns voiced at the meeting were the location of the patio which overlooks a nearby schoolÕ s playground; some type of buffer between a patio off the hotelÕ s pool on the north end of the building, which borders the schoolÕ s property line; the view of the roof from the back of the building and how that roof might be used.

Lake George Waterkeeper Chris Navitsky recommended a Ò green roofÓ which would encompass roof-top plants

or grass to absorb water and reduce runoff.

Another concern raised by Navitsky was the increase in sewage to the Lake George Wastewater Treatment Plant. The plant has been discovered to contain higher nitrate levels than the state allowed in the past.

A change in the local code that previously allowed only three story buildings in the village paved the way for KennyÕ s CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

Skeletal remains to be returned to Fort William Henry

By Shawn Ryan shawn@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ Research is nearly complete on the skeletal remains of more than a dozen British soldiers who perished during the French and Indian War, and the remains are expected to be returned to Fort William Henry for reburial.

For decades, visitors at Fort William Henry could

view the skeletons on display: those of British Soldiers from the 18th century. In 1993, officials of the fort decided, as most museums had out of respect, to take down the exhibit, and rebury the remains.

The Fort held a publicized reburial ceremony on Memorial Day weekend of that year attracting reenactors, historians, veterans and various media.

What wasnÕ t known to most was that only a few of the remains were actually buried that day. The others Ñ some 15 nearly complete skeletons Ñ were to

be back in a few months after research was done by two anthropologists, Maria Liston and Brenda Baker.

The fort publicly acknowledged in 2012 that the remains were out of the area and never buried that day.

Many of the people who attended the ceremony back in 1993 were outraged and demanded answers.

The fort had never meant for the skeletal remains to be gone this long; the plan had always been to re CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

Retiring Bolton highway chief honored for 40+ years of service

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com BOLTON Ñ Retiring Bolton Town Highway Superintendent Tim Coon walked through the doorway of the town community center recently as several dozen people greeted him with cheers and applause.

The occasion was a surprise party honoring Coon on his 40plus years of service to the Bolton community as an employee of the town highway department, 22 of those years serving as Superintendent of Highways.

CoonÕ s daughter Adrienne Curran watched people congratulate him and thank him for his many years of work assuring public safety and motorist convenience. Ò As a child, I remember waiting until he got home on Christmas so we could open gifts, and how heÕ d have to go back out and make sure the roads were plowed,Ó she said. Ò He always thought about his work duties first — He’s been very dedicated to his job.Ó Bolton Supervisor Ron Conover offered plenty of praise for his townÕ s highway CEO Ñ who had hours earlier concluded a 16-hour stint through the night clearing town roads, followed by just two hours of sleep before he returned to work, followed by the retirement party. Ò His experience and dedication he brought to the job every day was really remarkable,Ó Conover said before he handed Coon a plaque. Ò Tim knew all the traditional highway maintenance procedures, yet he stayed current on the new materials and techniques. We give you, Tim, our deepest gratitude for your service.Ó Coon worked day-in and day out during several destructive floods during the recent years, including the major 2005 washout of County Rte. 11, and the devastating tropical storms of 2011.

Tim’s relatives and town officials recalled how Coon had been camping in Long Lake with his wife Doris and his brother for merely one day when Tim heard of a major washout, returned home and tackled his work for 24 hours straight, they said.

Conover said the amount of work required in the highway superintendentÕ s post has been unprecedented during the last decade, whether it was reconstructing roadways after hurricanes, clearing roads after major tree Ò blowdownsÓ or replacing culverts after washouts. Ò Tim was the best highway man in the county,Ó Conover said. Ò He kept the roads in good shape, he worked hard though all the historic violent storms, and he even sanded senior citizensÕ driveways.Ó Conover noted that Coon was named Ò Conservationist of the YearÓ in 2002 by the Warren County Soil & Water Conservation District in part because he had worked with environmental officials to improve roadway stormwater management and to

abate sedimentation of waterways. Coon also helped initiate the townÕ s program to convert to Magic Salt, a pavement-clearing substance thatÕ s more environmentally friendly than rock salt, Conover said. Ò TimÕ s always been open to suggestions and new initiatives,Ó he said.

Doris Coon said that his retirement has meant they now will be getting new flooring in their house — she had been putting off buying new carpeting and hardwood flooring until his work routine permanently concluded.

“Over the years, Tim wore a path in the floor — from the kitchen to the living room Ñ by pacing back and forth, looking out the

window at the skies, worrying about storms,Ó she said. Ò We put off replacing the flooring until we knew he was going to retire.”

Coon said at the retirement party he was ready to end his tenure as highway chief. He had been working for the town highway department since he was in his 20s, he said.

“It’s been a good ride,” he said. “But finally now, I’ll be able to do what I want to do — more hunting and fishing.”

After receiving all the accolades, Coon deferred credit to the other town highway department employees. Ò I wouldnÕ t be here if it werenÕ t for all the guys that worked for me,Ó he said.

Schroon nurse brings relief to typhoon victims

By Fred Herbst

thom@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE Ñ Jeff Subra grew up in Iowa, so heÕ s seen the damage left behind by tornadoes. That didnÕ t prepare him for what he saw following Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. Ò IÕ ve seen the devastation caused by tornadoes,Ó the Schroon Lake man said. Ò But this was unbelievable. Miles and miles of total destruction.Ó Subra, a registered nurse, went to the Philippines as part of relief team sent by the Christian Medical & Dental Association.

The Bristol, Tenn.-based group has rotated teams in-and-out of the Philippines every two weeks since the disaster hit Nov. 8, killing more than 6,000 people and leveling entire communities.

Subra, a former Moses-Ludington Hospital nurse in Ticonderoga, was part of a seven-member team that provided health care to residents of the Tocloban area, which is located on the Philippine island of Leyte. Ò Arriving in Manila you would never know there had been a typhoon,Ó Subra said. Ò Once we got to Tacloban our eyes were wide open. The roads were lined with piles of rubbish and trash as they tried to clean up. Buildings were completely destroyed.Ó Typhoon Haiyan was 300 miles across when it struck the Philippines, one of the most intense tropical storms to ever make landfall anywhere in the world. It brought torrential rain, sustained winds of over 195 mph and a storm surge of up to 30 feet that devastated coastal areas.

There are millions of people who have been affected, including hundreds of thousands who have been forced from their homes. Those who survived needed health care, emergency shelter, clean water and food.

Based in Tocloban, Subra and his Christian Medical & Dental Association team visited nearby villages each day for two weeks in December. They worked with the World Health Organization and Salvation Army. Ò We heard a lot of terrible stories,Ó Subra said. Ò Entire families lost. Children without parents. It was awful. People were crowded into whatever shelter they could find, 13-14 people living in one room.Ó One child caught SubraÕ s attention. Ò One day two older ladies brought in a little girl who had lost her entire family,Ó he said. Ò I wasnÕ t prepared for that. It really tugged at my heart.Ó On the flight home Christmas Day, Subra decided he had to help that girl. He is now working with the Salvation Army to help support her.

During their time in the Philippines Subra and his team treated upwards of 100 people a day. Ò There were wounds and injuries, but a lot of our work was

giving encouragement,Ó he said. Ò We wanted to help people with their feelings of hopelessness and depression. We did whatever we could to help. I think they (Filipinos) were very appreciative.Ó Subra had been on three medical missions before his Philippine trip. He went to Haiti following the 2010 earthquake that killed more than 100,000 people and has been to Honduras twice.

The Philippine mission was different, he said. Ò There was tremendous devastation and loss, but people were smiling,Ó Subra said. Ò Resilient is the word that describes the Philippine people. They werenÕ t sitting around waiting for help, they were picking up debris and rebuilding where they could. Ò Every day you could see a little more progress,Ó he said. Ò The people were sad, but positive about the future. You could see life returning.Ó When Subra learned of the typhoon he immediately knew he would be part of the international health response. Ò When something like that happens thereÕ s a window of opportunity,Ó he said. Ò I was in a situation where I could go. It was really a question of when, not if.Ó His first impulse was to go immediately, but he waited until after Thanksgiving to meet family obligations. Ò My family is very supportive, but my wife did want us all together for Thanksgiving,Ó Subra said.

Subra plans on another medical mission in March, This one will be a family affair. Joining Subra on the trip will be his wife, Cherie, and daughter Alexis.

Lake George officials consider changes to village parking

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ Parking in the Village of Lake George can be a frustrating experience Ñ even more so if you receive a ticket for staying a few minutes past the meterÕ s time limit.

The village trustees are now seeking to make parking a little more pleasant experience by issuing overtime courtesy warning notices, rather than parking tickets that turn a $1 stay into a $15 hassle.

Years ago, Lake George had a policy that gave motorists a little leeway, with parking compliance officers issuing warning tickets when meters ran out, then theyÕ d return in 30 minutes or so to check on whether the driver fed the meter more money in the meantime. If no more money was deposited, theyÕ d be facing a fine.

This leniency ended in 2008 Ñ when the courtesy warnings were eliminated.

Monday Jan. 13, the trustees talked about reinstating the courtesy notices, an initiative suggested by councilman John Root who said the village could be a little more accommodating to tourists.

Mayor Robert Blais warned that issuing courtesy warning could cost the village $100,000 per year of its $500,000 or so annual parking income.

In response, trustees Root and Ray Perry both suggested that courtesy parking notices could be issued only on one or two days per week or during limited times.

Also, Blais warned that some people would switch warning tickets from one vehicle to another to gain extra time or ward off the enforcement officers for a while.

One former initiative, to allow locals to park on the streets at no charge, caused problems as the parking spaces in front of retail stores were clogged by local vehicles, leaving too few spaces for tourists who were likely to shop in local stores and support the merchants, Blais said. Ò It was a holocaust,Ó Blais said.

The mayor also noted that some drivers seeking to park all day have figured out that it was cheaper and more convenient to pay the overtime fine of $15 than pay the standard parking

lot charge of $2 per hour and deal with feeding the meters. He suggested that the overtime fine be raised to at least $25 before this summer.

“In most communities, the fines are far higher than Lake George,Ó he said, citing overtime fines of $25 in Lake Placid and higher in Saratoga, Glens Falls and Albany. Fines for parking in front of hydrants or in No Parking zones are typically $75, he said.

Faced with many choices, changes that could shrink revenue, cause problems or annoy tourists, the trustees deferred decisions until the February board meeting.

In other business, the village board: • Entertained a proposal for new terms in a contract with the Lake George Chamber of Commerce for providing personnel for the villageÕ s Visitors Center. Now, the Chamber pays $6,000 annually for Ò rentÓ and $5,000 annually toward utilities Ñ to be able to pass out brochures. Chamber officials suggested that the rent be reduced to $1 per year. Trustee Ray Perry suggested that the village make a counter-offer of $4,000 per year Ñ although the Chamber provides personnel at their expense and Warren County pays the village $25,000 for the visitor centerÕ s operation.

• Heard from Mayor Blais that state archeologists are enthusiastic about having ancient weapons they unearthed near Million Dollar Beach put on display in a glass case at the visitorÕ s center. Arrangements are now being made to showcase the arrow heads, stone knives and spear heads that are up to 8,000 years old.

• Was told that Jason Carmody, until this week the village First Assistant Fire Chief, quit the fire department. The board approved the promotion of Second Assistant Chief Paul Sullivan into the First Assistant position in satisfaction of a state requirement to keep the post filled.

• Heard that St. James Episcopal Church was approved recently to be listed in the National Register of Historic Places Ñ the second such designation occurring in 2013. The other was the same historic status for the Old Delaware & Hudson Railroad Station, now serving as a gift shop for the Lake George Steamboat Co. across from the Steel Pier on Beach Road.

• Was presented with the book “Low-Impact Development & Sustained Stormwater Man-

agementÓ authored by Thomas Cahill. Lake George Waterkeeper Chris Navitsky advised them to read it and keep it on hand. Blais praised Navitsky for his ongoing work to protect the lakeÕ s water quality.

•Was informed that the crosswalk across Canada St. in front of the school was approved by the state and it would cost $35,000 to $40,000 to paint the lines and make the curb cuts.

• Voted to proceed with streetscape enhancement on Canada St. from Amherst St. north to Marine Village motel. The upgrades include new sidewalks and curbs, replacement trees and new brick pavers. The work is to match the streetscape improvements accomplished last year downtown in the village.

• Decided to choose a new delegate to the Warren County Youth Board to replace Sharon Sano, who had served in that post for many years.

• Endorsed a parade that kicks off Lake George Winter Carnival on Feb. Saturday 1. The

procession is set for 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

• Scheduled the next regular village board meeting for 6 p.m. Monday Feb. 10 • Discussed the rejection by downtown commercial property owners of the proposed Business Improvement District that called for a new tax of 51 cents per thousand dollars of property valuation, with the revenue to be spent on tourism, event promotion and streetscape upgrades.

With local officials noting the proposal was rejected due to the additional layer of taxes, Trustee Root said he had suggested that the District operations be funded entirely with Bed Tax revenue. He and Mayor Blais said the BID formation process had set in motion new communication between local merchants. Root warned that a B.I.D. or an similar entity was still needed in the village, because a new mayor succeeding Blais might not be as business friendly as Blais. Ò The villageÕ s next mayor may not have the interest or skills you have to wear the promotional hat you do,Ó Root told the mayor.

Proposal spells three strikes against region

W

hile we applaud Gov. Andrew CuomoÕ s ongoing efforts to revitalize and open up the North Country through a series of forward-looking proposals and policies, weÕ re skeptical about the trial balloon he floated at the state of the state Address on Tuesday, Jan. 8 that will, if enacted by state lawmakers, suspend driverÕ s licenses for life for motorists found guilty of driving while intoxicated three times in their lifetime.

DonÕ t get us wrong: WeÕ re not advocating reckless behavior and our hearts are with those who have lost loved ones as a result of impaired motorists, but we feel such an upgrade to the already-severe state DWI laws would be needlessly punitive, urban-centered and would hog tie the courts and strip them of the autonomy required to adjudicate cases based on extenuating and local circumstances.

Punitive. WeÕ d like to think that a clear line of demarcation between youthful indiscretion and lifetime stupidity is drawn after a pair of alcohol-related brushes with the law. WeÕ ve all done ridiculous things in our youth and none of us are the same people that we were a decade ago, much less 25 years ago.

Under a Three Strikes law, otherwise law-abiding citizens who made two mistakes during their adolescence Ñ a time when the frontal lobe, the part of the brain that controls decision-making isnÕ t yet fully matured Ñ can have their lives irrevocably remain in pieces a half-century later.

Revoking someoneÕ s license later in life after just one more lapse of judgement, say driving a short distance down an unpopulated stretch of rural road while just a sliver over the .08 BAC limit, would be counterproductive and serve no real purpose other than to strip people of their livelihoods Ñ especially if theyÕ re self-employed rural residents who depend on their vehicles to provide for their families. Taking away a personÕ s right to self-determination would only add to the stateÕ s bloated welfare ranks and cripple a population that needs a life preserver Ñ not an anchor.

Urban. The governorÕ s proposal sees its roots based in bills put forth to their respective chambers in 2012

by Martin Golden, the state senator and former cop from Brooklyn who sponsored the SAFE Act, and state assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis, a Republican who represents parts of Brooklyn and Staten Island.

Both lawmakers represent heavily urban districts that provide a robust blend of highly developed public and private transportation networks, including subway and bus lines, livery and private car services, pedicabs and even rickshaws, that fan out through densely-packed urban neighborhoods that for many residents, offer most, if not all, of their day-to-day needs and are easily navigated by foot or bike should one choose to do so.

The North Country, on the other hand, is rural, remote and provides no such networks despite covering an area larger than the state of Rhode Island, making vehicular transport a must, not only for work and rec-

reation, but also for social engagement.

A Three Strikes amendment would not only disproportionately affect the wide swath of the state who depend on their vehicle for their daily needs, but would also preemptively punish them for their choice of residence and would drastically limit their recreational choices.

It also would kneecap small businesses that depend on alcohol sales to stay afloat and impact healthy social interaction as residents choose to stay put over the risk of venturing out to a local establishment to fend off the long, gloomy winters that have more in common with the classic 1980 Stanley Kubrick film The Shining than the romantic glitz and glamor of the New York metropolitan area where friends, family and fun are just a subway stop away.

Hogtied. Stripping local authorities from discretion in handing down sentences is further evidence of an overreaching state apparatus, one that fails to take into account extenuating circumstances, namely those of a local nature.

How would the law affect, say, emergency personnel and first responders called away from their homes to assist an elderly resident? How about a sportsman, one who had no intention of going anywhere after an outdoors tipple, speeding a wounded buddy to a medical facility after a potentially fatal interaction with our gorgeous-yet-deadly natural landscape? Or any other circumstance derived from this breathtaking, yet underserved, section of the state?

And like with other mandatory minimum sentences Ñ including the federally-imposed requirements imposed upon courts in the mid-1980s to combat the countryÕ s growing crack epidemic that are now starting to be rolled back based on a quarter-century of accrued data Ñ a Three Strikes proposal would put the wrong sort of people out to pasture for too long and would bog down a justice system thatÕ s already mired in superfluous cases.

Instead of reducing local judgesÕ autonomy, we should be increasing their discretion and letting them make decisions that represent the best interests of the communities in which they serve Ñ not edicts imposed by faraway strongholds of power that have only the most basic cultural and geographical understanding of the communities which they aim to protect.

Again, while weÕ re appreciative of the stateÕ s renewed interest in the North Country and look forward to strengthening the bond with our friends to the south, this proposal spells three strikes against the region and we canÕ t help but feel as if other, more progressive and locally-based efforts can be undertaken to combat the scourge of drunk and impaired driving thus ensuring safe roads, healthy social networks and long-term economic sustainability for the region.

ThatÕ s something we can get behind, no seat belt required. Ñ

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden

One Hundred Years Ago - January, 1914

Fire ends victim’s life

Mrs. Catherine Densmore, 79, of Corinth, was horribly burned, Thursday night, Jan. 22, 1914, while alone at her home. It is supposed that she accidentally overturned a kerosene lamp while sewing. She died Friday morning, Jan. 23, 1914, from her injuries.

Mrs. Densmore lived alone on the second floor of the frame building, the lower floor being vacant. Firemen found the lady leaning against a barrel in the kitchen with her clothing entirely burned from her body and her flesh burned to a crisp. They wrapped her in a blanket and carried her to the home of Mrs. Wilcox, a neighbor. Dr. H.J. Allen attended her and tried to relieve her suffering with morphine, but without avail and death brought merciful release from her awful agony.

Only prompt work of the fire department saved the house from total destruction. Mrs. Densmore was the widow of one of the most prominent physicians in Corinth.

Danger of indecency

Following the example set by many prelates, Bishop Burke warns Catholics against the tango. He issued a statement to the press defining his position. He said, “I suppose that the tango could be danced in a manner that would not be immoral or indecent, but it is by its nature exposed to abuse which is unbecoming to Christians and conductive to immorality. I trust, therefore, that no Catholic in the diocese of Albany will take part in any such dances as the tango, the bunny hug, the turkey trot or the grizzly bear. I, however, will leave it to the clergy of the diocese to warn the flocks against anything of danger to morals or decency.

Look out below

There is an appeal by the Town of Thurman from a judgment rendered by a jury in Supreme Court at Lake George last spring for $800 in favor of William A. Ingraham who alleged that he was permanently injured by the collapse of a town bridge over which he was driving with a load of hay.

Daredevil thrills onlookers

Rodman Law, 29, the daredevil moving picture performer, who has distinguished himself by several foolhardy feats, Monday, Jan. 26, 1914, climbed hand over hand across Ausable Chasm on a steel wire rope. The distance from the bottom to the top of the chasm is 300 feet and it is about 200 feet wide. (Note - Frederick Rodman Law, the early 20th. Century career parachutist and silent movie stuntman, made a name for himself in 1912 when he jumped off the top of the candle of the Statue of Liberty. He was called, Ò The Human Fly.Ó In 1919 he died of tuberculosis.)

What is the occupancy tax, and how does the funding work?

According to the law a hotel or motel is defined as any facility providing lodging on an overnight basis, which would include bed and breakfasts and inns.

Since Occupancy Tax was established in 2003, Warren County has charged tourists a four percent occupancy tax, also known as bed tax for renting a room during their stay. Aimee Azert and her husband Doug are proprietors of the Glen Lodge, located in Thurman; Aimee stated that the four percent bed tax is above the seven percent state tax that is already collected. Revenues from this tax are returned to towns, like Thurman, for the express purpose of promoting tourism.

Six Thurman event organizers received occupancy tax funding to aid their efforts at a Jan. 17 meeting at Thurman town hall. The Thurman Station AssociationÕ s occupancy tax grant review committee studied the applications and discussed them with each other and with those applicants present. All who applied received grants, but, due to tight funds, almost all

Too much clutter

Attorney General Carmody has noted for trial at Lake George, Jan. 26, 1914, an action against The Delaware and Hudson Company to compel the removal of Ò encroachments and obstructionsÓ on land under water in Lake George. The stated complaint alleges that the company has filled in the lake in front of the Fort William Henry Hotel and adjoining lands and has erected a station, docks, restaurant, etc., this curtailing the rights of the public. It is also charged that the railroad company has unlawfully closed a public highway which extended to and along the waters edge, this depriving the public of the use of this highway at all points west of the so called Dowling Road.

Rare opportunity

The pleasure of hearing Mischa Elman, 23, one of the great masters of the violin, at the Empire Theatre, South Street, Glens Falls, on Wednesday evening, Jan. 14, 1914, should not be missed

by Warrensburgh music lovers. It is not often that an artist of his rank visitÕ s the smaller cities. Elman, the handsome and famous young Russian is known as Ò the genius of the violin.Ó To attend, the Hudson Valley trolley cars will be leaving Warrensburgh at 7:00 p.m. and will be returning at 11:00 p.m., which makes it convenient for local theatergoers. (Note - Mischa Elman, once an outstanding child prodigy, was one of the most famous violinists of his day. He died in 1967.)

Saintly lady departed

Hattie L. Fuller, wife of Don H. Heath, passed away at her home in Warrensburgh, Thursday morning, Jan. 1, 1914, death being caused by tubercular laryngitis. Her illness was a painful one but her sufferings were alleviated by tender care, also by sweet remembrances in various forms which came to the sick room from loving hearts.

Mrs. Don H. Heath was born March 17, 1887, the daughter of Joseph L. Fuller of Stony Creek in which town she was dearly loved by all who knew her.

Last will and testament

The late Lewis ThomsonÕ s will was admitted to probate in surrogateÕ s court in Glens Falls Monday, Jan. 5, 1914. Philip E. Rice, son-in-law of the deceased, is made soul executor and the entire estate is left to the widow, Mrs. Phebe (Sisson) Thomson and daughter, Mrs. Philip E. (Pearl) Rice. In the instrument no mention is made of the value of the estate. (Note - The sad story of the lingering death of Lewis Thomson, who died Dec. 19, 1913 of cancer was told in this column in the Dec. 21, 2013 Adirondack Journal. His home is today The Cornerstone Victorian at 3921 Main Street, owned by Doug and Louise Goettsche.)

Deb Runyon would like to thank everyone who contributed food and helped out in the kitchen for the highway crew appreciation luncheon. Deb says, Ò There was so much food there. It was great to see the guys chowing down. I know they appreciate it.Ó Runyon fondly remembers the former organizer of this and many more Thurman events, Ò I really miss Becky Hitchcock and realize now that with all the events she ran, she must have been one busy person. SheÕ s the one who got me started helping with the appreciation lunch, thatÕ s how I met her. So I kind of want to keep doing it in her memory.Ó Recently while doing some spring cleaning I discovered some of my husbandÕ s collection of QuarterlyÕ s from the John Thurman Historical Society. In these tattered pages reference was made to life in Thurman during the winter months.

An excerpt from a 1949 newspaper clipping written by Mrs. Mildred Vaughn tells of the early life of Mrs. James G. Ready, whose maiden name was Elva Baker. Ò There were nine children in our family, and I was the third. My grandmother used to operate the spinning wheel and weave the wool from our own sheep. We knit our own socks and mittens. Food was no problem to us. In the winter we had potatoes, beets, turnips, and carrots in the cellar. Father made great crocks of sauerkraut; we had maple syrup and maple sugar and plenty of buckwheat cakes. Our apple orchard of five hundred trees kept us well supplied with apples. The beef and pork was plentiful, and it was salted down for the winter. That, with milk and eggs from our own cows and chickens and plenty of good homemade bread was our winter diet.Ó It goes on to tell of Mrs. Ready marrying Mr. Joseph Thissel at the age of 17 and living in a cabin built by her grandfather even though she was born in a frame house, she insisted she was very comfortable in the cozy cabin. She gave birth to twin boys who died at an early age, and then two daughters. When the youngest daughter was fifteen Mr. Thissel passed away and Elva was certain to continue to provide for her daughters.

For several years prior to Mr. ThisselÕ s death she served as the post mistress at The Glen and also had a very lucrative business of baking pies and breads.

Remarkable weather

The Albany Weather Bureau reports that from a meteorological point of view, 1913 was a remarkable year. It was the driest since 1826, the first year of the making and filing of figures on precipitation. The average temperature of the year was unique.

It was 50.5 degrees, the highest one in 40 years.

In Albany the minimum temperature was one degree below zero on Feb. 1, 1913 and the maximum temperature was 99 degrees on July 1, 1913.

Wedding bells

Wilbur Hack and Miss Jennie Ackley, both of Stony Creek, were married Dec. 31, 1913 by the Rev. C.S. Agan at the Methodist parsonage in Warrensburgh.

Fayette McKee of Chestertown and Miss Dora Waddell of Johnsburgh were married Jan. 7, 1914 by the Rev. C.S. Agan at the Methodist parsonage in Warrensburgh. (Note - The parsonage was located on Main Street where the big parking lot is now next to the Methodist Church.)

Winter activities - near and far Nearly all the ice houses in the village of Stony Creek have been filled with ice from Tannery Pond.

Sleighing is good and most people are taking advantage of it.

The ice-harvesters are busy cutting from the Moston Pond, Wevertown.

J.F. Thurston, who always likes to see his logs moving, is loading about 100 markets on his mill pond at Friends Lake.

Elmore Tucker and George Daggett are drawing timber from Swan & CompanyÕ s mill at The Glen to T.H. PascoÕ s saw mill in North Thurman. Nathan Carlton is drawing logs in Chestertown.

Daniel Winslow, of Stony Creek, has finished drawing logs from the Schroon River Pulp and Paper Company, in Burnhamville, Warrensburgh. On Monday, Jan. 5, 1914 William Wyman, of Stony Creek, had his arm broken while drawing logs.

Four pairs of valuable horses passed through Newcomb on Sunday morning going to Tahawus, They were the property of John Moynehan, who had purchased them in Utica.

Items of interest It was just one year ago, Jan. 11, 1913, that the first enclosed sedan-type automobile, a Hudson, went on display at the 13th National Automobile Show in New York city. Since than they have proved to become very popular.

At some point she took a white collar job in her home, by then in Warrensburg. She permitted the Bell Telephone Co. to install the first telephone exchange in that area and she became the first telephone operator. She kept the exchange for eight years.

She opened a rooming house at 8 Elm Street, Glens Falls, in 1922 and fed a table of thirteen for many years. At the time of her death the rooming house at that address was still maintained by her daughter, Mrs. Cassie Needham. Elva Thissel married James Ready after coming to Glens Falls and he died a year after their marriage.

Mrs. Elva Ready passed away in 1957 at the age of 94.

Skeletons

From page 1 turn them to the fort.

In fact, both Liston and Baker received jobs out of state shortly after receiving permission to study the skeletons. Therefore, both were granted permission to take them to finish their analysis. Liston was hired at the University of Waterloo in Canada, while Baker took a job at Arizona State. Ò The Fort has always tried to do the right thing in regards to these remains; they had no idea theyÕ d be gone this long, but the research thatÕ s come from of this is unprecedented,Ó said David Starbuck, New York archaeologist residing in Chestertown who has written about the history behind Fort William HenryÕ s skeleton collection.

Liston voluntarily offered to return the material on multiple occasions but was asked to hang on to it as the Fort lacked a proper storage facility.

The vast majority of her research had to do with pathology, including determining the cause of death. Ò These samples showed a lot of various diseases; they werenÕ t a healthy bunch,Ó said Liston. She said the type of research she does is important because it allows a personÕ s story to be told and not just forgotten. She also said she realizes how important it is to people in the area to get the samples back where they belong, but under the proper care.

Brenda Baker still has 15 skeletal remains in Arizona that belong to the fort and her research is near finished. She is in Sudan

www.adirondackjournal.com doing research and unavailable for comment.

Fort William Henry Spokeswoman Melodi Viele said that the remains have always been handled in a respective manner and the researchers have worked with the fort through the entire process.

Fort officials claim they weren’t hiding anything and said the fort was always to be the final resting spot of the soldiers.

Local Historian Paul Loding said that he was happy the research was being done but said 20 years seems like a long time to carry it out. Ò I was extremely happy to hear that the remains will be returned soon, itÕ s long overdue,Ó said Loding.

One of the reasons itÕ s taken so long is that technology has changed a lot since 1993, allowing more accurate testing.

In fact, one of the remains Baker had taken has garnered a considerable amount of interest nation-wide.

Known as Ò burial 14,Ó the remains are of a Native American male between the age of 25-40, found in the 1995 dig along with the remains of the British soldiers.

In March of 2012, National Geographic Channel aired an episode in its Ò DecryptersÓ series called Ò The Last Mohican?Ó The episode was about this very individual.

All of the remains were originally buried outside the fort sometime between the fortÕ s construction in 1755 and its destruction by the French two years later.

Most were discovered during the fortÕ s reconstruction as a tourist attraction in the mid-1950Õ s.

Ongoing construction of the public park on the side of the fortÕ s military cemetery could further delay the process of reburying the soldiers. Archaeologists estimate more than 1,000 graves are buried in the cemetery. Ò The cemetery has a fence on that side and we donÕ t foresee any issues, but itÕ s something we need to pay attention to,Ó Viele said.

Adirondack Journal - 13 The military cemetery borders the former Gaslight Village property, now a public park that is being transformed into green space to filter silt runoff into Lake George.

Viele said there is no definite time line for when the skeletal remains will be reburied. Ò We need to have a place to rebury these remains in the dignified manner they deserve,” she said.

According to Fort William Henry officials most of the research on the remains is complete and they expect the remains to be returned later this year.

Fort officials maintain that all of the remains will be handled in a respectful way.

Firefighters From page 1

The rookie firefighters had not only learned how to handle ladders and hoses, how fires can spread, but they learned about building construction and its role in fires, fire behavior, rescue techniques, firefighting protocol, hazardous materials handling and fire scene safety.

The 91-hour course was conducted over two and a half months, and the new firefighters had volunteered their time to learn it all.

During the course, they also attacked live flames within a smoke-filled building in Saratoga County’s “burn building” training center, as well as completing exercises at Warren County’s training center. Their six hours of live fire training included quelling a blazing vehicle. Ò TheyÕ ve gone through a lot,Ó Warren County Deputy Fire Coordinator Scott Combs told the audience.

Warren County Emergency Services Director Brian LaFlure echoed the point. Ò In recent years with the economy being the way it is, volunteerism has become harder and harder,Ó he said. Ò WeÕ re fortunate that in this area, we have men and women who want to volunteer and spend the time it takes to become a firefighter.”

Modert, a Pottersville resident who serves as an officer of his hometown fire company, said that these new recruits had two reasons to take the course: to serve their community and to follow a tradition in their respective families to be active in fire service. Ò They want to give back, they want to be a vital part of the community when itÕ s really needed Ñ volunteering their time, applying their skills and putting their lives on the line for others,Ó he said.

Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Wood, who serves as chair of Warren CountyÕ s Public Safety Committee, expressed her thoughts to the crowd in the packed community room of Bay Ridge Fire Hall, where many of the class sessions were conducted. Ò This is a wonderful thing that these people are stepping forward and taking the challenge to protect our communities and make our world so much better,Ó she said.

Class representative Todd Lawson, a graduate of Warrensburg High School, thanked the personnel of area companies who helped instruct the sessions on their own time. Ò Going through this, we endured a lot of blood, sweat and tears, but we made it,Ó he said.

Lawson had produced a video of the groupÕ s experiences during the course. Lake George Firefighter Chris McGuirk had taken many of the photographs.

The course graduates from northwestern Warren County are:

Kory Russell, Tyler Boutin, Casey Marviglio and Todd Lawson representing Warrensburg Volunteer Fire Co., Joshua Hayes and Michael Swanson from Stony Creek Fire Co., and Thomas Urtz from the Chestertown Fire Department.

After the ceremony, LaFlure watched the rookie firefighters being congratulated by family and friends. Ò This training is just the very beginning of the instruction they’ll receive in their firefighting careers,” he said. “They’ve got 15 or 16 more specialized courses ahead of them.Ó

Adirondack Journal - 15

The damned dams of the Adirondacks D

ams provide opportunities for power, navigation, fish barriers, and often serve as bridges for snowmobilers, hikers, bikers and skiers. They can also improve the aesthetics of an area by creating ponds and lakes.

Dams also create environments suitable for fresh water species such as brook trout, while also providing effective upstream barriers that prevent the introduction of non-native and invasive species of both flora and fauna. These are just a few of the benefits provided by backwoods dams and the bridges that are supported by them.

In recent years, there have been a number of the damn dams in the news. Most recently, the dam of note has been a popular and scenic structure located at Marcy Dam, which has long been considered the main Gateway into the High Peaks Wilderness Area.

In fact, Marcy Dam is likely one of the most iconic man made structures in the entire High Peaks region.

It is located on a popular and easily accessible travel corridor that receives heavy traffic all year round.

The location is typically one of the first places for hikers, snowshoers or cross-country skiers to stop and rest as they travel into the heart of the High Peaks from Adirondak Loj. On a typical summer day, it’s not uncommon to find a couple of dozen travelers hanging out on the bridge, or find their food bags hanging from it.

Prior to the arrival of Hurricane Irene in August of 2011, most first time visitors would be awestruck by the scene, when they first gazed across the small pond towards a stunning vista of Mount Colden, Avalanche Pass, and Wright Peak.

Typically, their jaws would drop before their packs hit the ground, as they took in the scene of the small backwoods pond, impounded by a log crib dam with a few Adirondack leantos sprinkled about.

Unfortunately, the old log dam was damaged beyond repair as a result of IreneÕ s onslaught which brought heavy rains, stiff winds and a lot of runoff from the surrounding High Peaks.

Although Marcy Dam was a destination site, it was also a place for launching off, as well as a wonderful place to return to.

It always seemed familiar, even if youÕ d only been there once. It was a benchmark, and you knew the journey was just beginning, or it was about to end. A quick trip into Marcy Dam was like visiting with an old friend.

Unfortunately, dear old Marcy couldnÕ t hold up to the powerful Irene and her Tropical Storm brethren. Neither could the old dam at Duck Hole, which was located several miles west of Marcy Dam. In between these two locations, there were several other remote dams, some of which were previously damaged, such as the dam at Flowed Lands, and some of which had previously been repaired, such as the dam at Henderson Lake.

Before Irene had even batted an eye on the Adirondacks, the old logging dam at Duck Hole was already in pretty rough shape.

Two years before Irene, DEC had removed the foot bridge that straddled the dam to provide hikers with access to the Bradley Pond Trail. Despite itÕ s advanced age, and a distinct lack of care and maintenance, the old Duck Hole dam managed to hang on. Sure, it leaked, and it had crumbled a bit, but the structure still managed to do what it was intended to do. It held back the waters of three roaring brooks each spring, and it provided safe sanctuary for beaver and brook trout, muskrat and salamanders, turtles and osprey, kingfishers and blue heron, bald eagles and more.

I was considered one of the ‘more.’ Over the years, I traveled into Duck Hole on foot, bicycle, ski, snowshoe and eventually by canoe. In fact, I may have been the first public paddler to cover the new paddlerÕ s route which began with a carry from the Upper Works into Henderson Lake and on to a carry via Preston

Pond Pass into the Preston Ponds.

Along the trail, I stopped at a height of land in Preston Pond Pass where a small stream parted ways. As the water flowed off a cliff, it forked with the water flowing downhill in opposite directions to form two of the longest rivers in the state.

North and west it went down into the Preston Ponds which continue on into Duck Hole and the Cold River, before draining eventually into the Raquette.

In the opposite direction, the waters went South and east, the flow drained into Henderson Lake, where the outlet combined with the headwaters of the Hudson. From the height of land in Preston Pass, it was all downhill to the pond and I soon made quick work of the paddle across Upper Preston.

I followed a short carry into Lower Pond and before I knew it, I was on the outlet of the Lower and heading downstream to where it dumped into Duck Hole in a tumbling waterfall.

Fortunately, I had discovered an alternate route just above the falls, which had me crawling over spruce roots and through blinding balsams to get to the shore of Duck Hole.

Over the next few years, I returned to Duck Hole religiously in order to pray at the Altar of the Blessed Brookie. Fortunately, I was always treated well, and with each return trip, I watched the old grand dam deteriorate, bit by bit.

For nearly a century, the grand ol’ dam had held back the flowing waters from Hunter Pond, the Preston Ponds, Roaring Brook, Bradley Pond outlet and innumerable smaller creeks, crooks and brooks.

The combination of these flows provides water to Duck Hole and contributes the major source of water for the Cold River, which is a tributary of the Raquette.

A variety of visiting hikers and paddlers had urged the state to repair the Duck Hole dam in order to preserve the impoundment, which was a charming brook-trout pond ringed by mountains in the High Peaks Wilderness Area. By the end of the storm, the floodwaters had washed away the dam’s sluice gate and the pond lost an estimated 8 to 12 feet in depth.

All that was left of the 80-acre pond were three sluggish little streams winding through a mudflat. The pond no longer had sufficient depth to provide habitat to support a population of brook trout. I expect the result will soon be evident all along the reaches of Cold River, for which Duck Hole provided a brook trout nursery.

After IreneÕ s wrath breached the dam and emptied most of the ponded waters, the Department of Environmental Conservation was forced to make a decision, and it chose not to rebuild.

In part, the departmentÕ s rationale was practical. Given the remoteness of Duck Hole and rules restricting motorized access in Wilderness Areas, getting materials to the site would have been problematic. In addition, the cost of reconstructing the old timber and crib dam to comply with current day standards would be expensive (it was estimated the engineering study alone would cost $100,000). The departmentÕ s decision was based as much on the philosophical aspects of rebuilding a manmade structure in the wilderness as it was on the practical applications and required logistics. And I expect budgetary limitations also played a major part.

By definition, Wilderness Areas are places that are maintained for their primeval character, and as such they are to remain Ò where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man.Ó As a result, the State Land Master Plan does not allow for the reconstruction of existing dams in Wilderness Areas.

Existing dams, of which there are nearly a dozen, may be routinely maintained. However, the department currently does not have plans to replace dams in Wilderness Areas that have already been breached.

Proponents of keeping the dams raise issues such as the need to maintain fish barrier dams to prevent the introduction of nonnative, and invasive species from accessing Special Brook Trout waters.

There are also special considerations regarding navigation, which may be jeopardized with a reduction of water levels as evident on the Cedar River Flow, which is a 190 foot long, 15 foot

By Thom Randall

trip is up to 100 miles long.

If there is snow in the region but not on the local trails, the Cancer Ride organizers may be offering the option of trailering the sleds to where snow is plentiful. Such a plan will be conveyed, if weather dictates, to those participants who are pre-registering, and be posted on the charityÕ s website: www.purpleribboncancerride.com. But considering the recent weather, it looks like the trails should have plenty of snow.

Proceeds of the event benefit Randy’s Radiation Patients’ Assistance Fund, a local charity which helps cancer patients receiving treatment at Glens Falls Hospital.

Several snowmobile clubs and motorsports dealers are among area businesses sponsoring the event. Among them are Progressive Motorsports of Hudson Falls, Sportline Honda of Queensbury, The South Warren Snowmobile Club, The Barnstormers Snowmobile Club of Hudson Falls, and the Ridge Riders of Hartford, and Wellers Auto Parts of Hudson Falls.

Registration forms can be downloaded from www.purpleribboncancerride.com or picked up at progressive Motorsports at 3058 state rte. 4 in Kingsbury.

The Purple Ribbon Cancer Ride was launched six years ago when organizers wanted to hold an event that raised money exclusively for local cancer patients in need of help.

Marcy Dam no longer provides this scenic vista. The pond has been greatly reduced, and it consists of a number of small streams running through a wide field of mud and debris. Eventually, vegatation such as tag alder will reclaim the mudflats and beaver may even move back to the region to establish a colony and revive the pond. high concrete dam located in the West Canada Lakes Wilderness Area.

If the dam is removed, the large lake would be reduced to three separate, smaller and shallower water bodies.

Similarly, there are four other dams in Wilderness Areas which will continue to require regular maintenance in order to provide for navigation. And there are also dams in designated Primitive or Wild Forest Areas such as the Upper and Lower dams on Lows Lake and Hitchens Pond where the regulations regarding man-made structures are not as strict as in Wilderness Areas.

But one has to wonder about the impact on tourism and effects to the landscape, if the attendant recreational opportunities were negatively impacted if dams are allowed to crumble from old age and neglect. Consider the after effects of lowering the water levels in Round Lake, and Whitney Lake if the outlet dam was breached. A similar situation could affect Pharaoh Lake if the dam were to go.

Other dams such as the old Mill Dam in Willsboro Dam are maintained as barriers necessary to prevent the upstream migration of sea lamprey for spawning purposes. The Willsboro dam effectively eliminates the possibility of lamprey migrating upstream to establish breeding grounds in the Boquet River.

However, the current dam also prevents the upstream migration of landlocked Atlantic salmon, and limits the potential for establishing a self-generating breeding population for one of the most sought after sport fish in the country.

Although the State Land Master Plan does permit the establishment of dams on waters contained within the Forest Preserve, it does not trump the state constitution.

If the dam could not be maintained on the newly minted state lands surrounding Boreas Pond and the attendant Essex Chain of Lakes, what would become of this grand old dame of the waters?

There have been numerous Fish Barrier Dams constructed throughout the park, with over half a dozen located within the St. Regis Canoe Area alone.

Such dams are necessary to protect the restoration of a native Adirondack brook trout population and the dams can be found protecting waters such as Ledge, Little Fish, Bone, Little Clear, Lydia Pond, Little Long and St. Regis Pond.

It would certainly be a contrary notion if the restoration of native flora and fauna by the construction of the fish barrier dams was not allowed, due to provisions requiring the lands to appear to be Ò constitutionally appropriate.Ó It would be a sad day indeed, if by zoning the land as wilderness we extirpated an iconic heritage species and diminished the recreational value of the land.

Maybe thatÕ s why lawyers prefer to litigate while the average man is satisfied simply spending his time paddling and fishing.

Sled ride & party to raise $$ for local cancer patients thom@denpubs.com HUDSON FALLS Ñ Registration is now open for a snowmobile excursion and party that annually raises money to help area cancer patients and their families.

The sixth annual Purple Ribbon Cancer Ride is to be held Saturday Feb. 1, starting and ending at the BoarÕ s Nest Bar & Grill at 1263 Patten Mills Road, West Fort Ann, Ñ and all are invited to participate.

Early registration accomplished by Jan. 26 is $30 per adult rider. Standard registration is set for 8 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. the day of the ride. The fee for child riders, ages 6 through 14, is $15, and those 5 and under are free.

Regardless of whether there’s sufficient snow covering the ground, the fundraiser Ñ which features a dinner, auction and live entertainment all included in the price Ñ will indeed be held, event organizers said this week. The party, with food, fun and music, will be held beginning at 6 p.m. whether thereÕ s snow or not, she said. Live country music will be provided by a talented regional band.

If there is sufficient snow cover, the ride will be conducted on trails through Washington and Warren counties. Annually, the

Snowmobilers line up for a portion of their day-long journey during the 2012 Purple Ribbon Cancer Ride, which raises money for local cancer patients undergoing radiation treatment. This year’s edition of the event is set for Feb. 1 — regardless of snow conditions — and is to be based at the Boar’s Nest Bar & Grill in West Fort Ann.
