Warrensburg water system upgraded By Thom Randall
Study of Senior Center rejected for now
WARRENSBURG Ñ A new municipal well is now producing an ample supply of pure, clear water, and town leaders want local citizens to take notice. As local officials heard the latest production data from the well at their monthly meeting Feb. 12, town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty urged the public to conduct a taste test and see what the recent water system upgrades have accomplished. Ò Our town water is now crystal clear, thereÕ s no odor, and IÕ m proud of it,Ò he said, noting the 75-feet-deep well is now producing 190 gallons per minute of pure water. Ò Our engineer is happy about it too.Ó The new well was connected and put into service in mid-January. The wells on Library Avenue near the town recreational fields and the one off the end of Swan St. —thought to produce water containing minerals that discolored the water and affected its taste Ñ were disconnected. Further improvements to the water system are pending. The board voted Wednesday to purchase the variable speed pumps, one for each of the townÕ s water wells. When started up, these pumps donÕ t run full-tilt like conventional well pumps. Instead, they slowly increase their speed. The change is expected to decrease the wear on the entire water system, stabilize water pressure, and eliminate the hammering that often occasionally in the water lines, Geraghty said. Another primary benefit of the new pumps, water system superintendent Tom Belden said, is that they are likely to save the town taxpayers 20 percent on electricity costs.

New town park to be designed
The board accepted a bid of $29,241 from the Chazen Companies to plan and design a new town park on the banks of Queen Village Pond where the Warrensburg Board & Paper plant once stood. The board also voted to hire a second crossing guard on Library Avenue near the Warrensburg Elementary School. The cost for the position is funded by the Safe Routes to School grant. Geraghty said the new crossing guard would be stationed at the intersection of Elm St. and Library Avenue. The town also voted to approve a contract with Cedarwood Engineering of North Creek to study the performance of the town sewer plant and determine its theoretical capacity, and how it might be enlarged to accommodate future development in the hamlet. Geraghty reported that the delay in the construction of the new Warrensburg Health Center was merely temporary. It was reported that Eastern Building & Restoration stopped working on the buildingÔ s foundation, due to a bankruptcy. Geraghty said that another contractor should be finishing up the work soon.
Beautification Committee founder Teresa Whalen requested that the board apply for a grant for a firm to prepare a feasibility study on rehabilitation of the town Senior Center, so it could accommodate more uses. After considerable discussion, the board declined to do so, after Geraghty objected to the action. Geraghty said the town was immersed in a lot of projects at this time, and prior evaluations of the building indicated it would take $500,000 or more to renovate the building properly and make it energy efficient. Geraghty suggested that Whalen ask the board again in 2015. Town Board member Joyce Reed said she was hesitant to see a rehabilitation project be pursued at a time the public was being asked to contribute to the Floyd Bennett Memorial Bandstand rehabilitation. She said the two projects would compete for limited available funding. Geraghty expressed thanks to Warrensburg property owners for a large majority of them paying taxes on time so the town was able to pay the county the townÕ s $2.28 million tax warrant in full. Town Board member Linda Marcella mentioned that the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce was now surveying WorldÕ s Largest Garage Sale vendors as well as local businesses, asking them to provide suggestions for improving the popular event. Town museum director Steve Parisi told the board that the Over the Edge Quilters group had recently donated a Sunbonnet Babies Quilt -- bearing a design that dates back to the 1840s -- to the museum. That quilt is now on display. He added that the museumÕ s next exhibit -- to go on display in March -- was one detailing the history of the townÕ s churches.
Jim Dwyer of J.D.’s Pump & Drilling Service of North Creek works on his equipment as he drills a water well in 2012 on the property of Countryside Adult Home in Warrensburg. The well is now online and producing clear, pure water at the rate of 190 gallons per minute, according to town officials.

Crowd enjoys deep snow, powder at Hickory Ski Center By Thom Randall
Skiers have a wide choice of terrain at Hickory. They can charge down the upper steep slopes or glide down the intermediate and beginner slopes lower on the mountain. Also, they can take an excursion on several trails through wooded glades for a
change in pace. This year, a new groomer has been preparing corduroy trails that have provided an ideal surface. The fun is not only on the trails. HickoryÕ s ski lodge offers a pleasant place to take a break, with its circular fire pit where skiers gather and swap tales about their experiences. It also features a cafeteria, as well as a broad picture-window view of the face of the mountain. The lodge also has a porch which is a favorite place for skiers to hang out and enjoy some sunshine and conversation, Short said. Hickory representatives said that ski patrol personnel will continue to evaluate snow conditions and determine what days the ski center will be open during upcoming weekends. For current information on conditions at Hickory, see: www. hickoryskicenter.com, or Ò LikeÓ the Hickory Ski Center page on Facebook. For many years, Hickory has become a favored destination for skiers seeking a vintage skiing experience. Hickory has earned a reputation for among skiing purists with its spectacular vistas, natural snow, challenging slopes and winding trails. Citing it as a charming throwback to 1950s skiing experience, one website has rated it among the top 10 skiing destinations in New York State. Short said she was looking forward to the remaining weekends of winter at Hickory. Ò This last weekend, all our skiers went home thrilled Ñ tired but super-happy,Ó she said. Ò When everyone gets together like they did this weekend, itÕ s a friendly, fun atmosphere.Ó

Ò When I organized the festival we had no idea where the funds would be used, but when we heard the Park Commission budget had been cut and it would result in a reduced presence on the lake, our choice was easy,Ó Blais said in a prepared statement. Ò We need to ensure that the inspection program works, is
enforced and the lake remains safe. These funds will allow that effort to go forward.Ó This yearÕ s Festival for the Lake, planned for Sept. 19 through Sept. 21, is to be held at the new Charles Wood ParkÕ s festival space Ñ on the same weekend as the Adirondack Balloon Festival.
thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ Due to recent frigid weather and ample snowfall, hundreds of people from near and far are now enjoying the slopes at Hickory Ski Center. PresidentÕ s Day weekend was popular at Hickory, a classic ski venue that is a favorite destination for families and skiing traditionalists from all over the U.S. While Hickory was open its earliest in many years on Dec. 21 due to early snowfall, it had been open only intermittently until early February because of lack of snow. But on Feb. 7, no less than 15 inches of snow fell on the slopes, followed up by another 15 inches between Feb. 13 and 16, Hickory officials said. Ski center spokeswoman Kristin Short said that dozens of skiers enjoyed their experience at Hickory over Presidents Day weekend. Saturday Feb. 15 was particularly busy, she said, noting that a crowd waited with eager anticipation for the lifts to start running at 9 a.m. that day. Ò So many people waited in line for the lifts to start up, so they could experience fresh powder runs,Ó she said noting that the powder conditions lasted for a long time.Later in the day, the skiers enjoyed the moguls on several of the expert slopes, she continued. Ò It was wonderful to have a really, really good turnout,Ó Short said. Ò People had such a good time skiing Hickory Ñ as we all remember it.Ó

L.G. festival revenue donated to LGPC for boat patrols
LAKE GEORGE Ñ The Village of Lake George and the S.A.V.E. Committee has donated the proceeds of the village’s first annual Ò Festival for the LakeÓ to the Lake George Park Commission. Mayor Robert Blais, who organized the festival, recently presented David Wick, Executive Director of the Park Commission a check for $20,000. The money is earmarked for the CommissionÕ s law enforcement patrols on the lake. Wick said this week that the donation was appreciated and much needed. Ò We think itÕ s fantastic that the Village has taken such an active role in invasive species prevention,Ó Wick said. Ò And the mayorÕ s been a leader in driving this effort.Ó Held last September, the Festival for the Lake was designed to raise awareness of the threat of aquatic invasive species and raise funds to support the Park CommissionÕ s new mandatory boat inspection program. The S.A.V.E. Committee, which is a coalition to abate the threat of aquatic invasive species, has already pledged to contribute half of the $700,000 estimated to implement the program for the initial year. Blais is chairman of the S.A.V.E. partnership of municipal officials and not-for-profit lake organizations including the Fund for Lake George and the Lake George Association. Several merchants, organizations, not-for-profits and village employees organized the festival that raised over $21,500.

Adirondack Journal Editorial
State needs to repeal the SAFE Act now
Ò Nobody needs 10 rounds to kill a deer,Ó or so bloviated our governor while he was in the process of ramming the so called Ò SAFE ActÒ down New YorkerÕ s throats. Passed in the dead of night in the wake of the Newtown school shooting, an outlier in the world of homicides if there ever was one, the SAFE Act takes away much of the protections New Yorkers are afforded under the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. In his Ò 10 rounds” pontification, the governor was referencing one section of the SAFE Act, since ruled unconstitutional, limiting magazine capacities to no more than an arbitrary limit of seven rounds. If you donÕ t need it to kill a deer, the governor implied, you shouldnÕ t be allowed to have it. LetÕ s look at this concept a little more deeply. First off, by this logic, we canÕ t imagine why snub-nosed revolvers should be legal. Nobody needs a snub-nosed .38 to kill a deer after all. And what about any shot smaller than 00 Buckshot? Nobody needs bird shot to kill a deer. Taking the governorÕ s Ò logicÓ ad absurdum, only slug shotguns, and rifles with calibers between 30-30 and 300 Winchester Mag should be allowed. Nobody needs anything other than that to kill a deer after all. And why seven rounds? A good hunter needs one, maybe two or three rounds to kill a deer. Why stop at seven? Ban anything above three rounds? What the governor overlooks here is the Second Amendment, the single most costly incomplete sentence in American history. The Second Amendment does not give Americans the right to just keep and bear deer rifles. It affords citizens the right to keep and bear arms. Assault rifles, Mr. Cuomo, are arms. They are protected under the Second Amendment. Gun control advocates will most certainly argue that itÕ s a matter of safety. Our children are being mowed down by assault rifles. While that was tragically true at Newtown, and Aurora, Colorado, and unfortunately some other mass shootings, itÕ s simply not the case that assault rifles are killing more people than other means. Statistics abound, but the FBIÕ s are typically considered the gold standard. LetÕ s take a look at the 2012 homicide stats, compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Homicides by all methods of firearm totaled 8,855. Of those 322 were by rifle — not assault rifles, any kind of rifle. (Separate statistics are not kept for assault rifles.) Add to this some unknown percentage for a category the FBI has for Ò Firearms, type not stated,Ó which totaled 1,749. Even given the statistical impossibility that all of these were rifles, that gives us a possible total of 2,071 homicides by some sort of rifle. An unknown, but definitely smaller, number of these rifles were assault rifles. Handguns on the other
hand were used in at least 6,371, plus whatever percentage of the 1,749 unclassified guns were handguns. So at the very farthest statistical borderline you are 66 percent more likely to be killed by a handgun than some sort of rifle. The true gulf between handguns and rifles is likely much higher. But wait, there are plenty of other ways to be killed. Keep the 322 deaths by rifle figure in mind. Now consider that 1,589 people were killed in 2012 by knives or cutting instruments. Also notable, 518 were killed by blunt objects, and 678 were killed by “fists, feet, etc.” Shotguns bring up the rear at 303, plus again some percentage of the unknown firearms. So, to keep our children safe, the governor targeted the second least dangerous death-inducing implement there is, based on FBI statistics. More people would be made safer if he had banned blunt objects, something, by the way, which isnÕ t constitutionally protected. Ignoring that obvious problem in the governorÕ s logic, anti-gun advocates will argue that the SAFE act also keeps us safer by mandating that mental health professionals report anyone who might espouse suicidal tendencies to the State Police, undoubtedly so their guns can then be confiscated by the State Police. Here is where this idea runs off the rails. Gun owners love their guns. Suicidal gun owners, or borderline suicidal gun owners, also love their guns. If a gun owner is considering suicide, they now know that if they reach out to a mental health professional and try to get help for their condition, they will lose their guns. Thanks to the SAFE Act, fewer people on the borderline of mental illness or suicide will seek help. Any gun owner who is feeling suicidal is going to keep that fact to themselves, instead of getting help. How, Mr. Cuomo, does that make us safer? LetÕ s make no bones about the true purpose behind the SAFE Act. Mr. Cuomo has for some time set his sights on higher office — now rumored to be that of vice president.

Turning Back the Pages By Jean Hadden
•100 years ago — February - March 1914• Soldier’s widow granted military pension
Mrs. Polly Ann Sherman of Horicon has been granted by the government a widowÕ s pension of $12 a month, with back pay since last July, amounting to $80.80. Mrs. Sherman has been married three times. Her first husband, a man named Hastings, was killed in action in the Civil War and she afterward married Jonathan D. Harrington. After his death she became the wife of Charles Sherman who died about a year ago. Being left dependent, she has secured a pension for the service of her first husband in the great war between the states. W.S. Carpenter, manager of Kenovan Brothers general store at Horicon acted as her attorney in the matter and succeeded where several others had failed.
Actor inherits cash from estranged niece
Well-known actor James K. Hackett, who several years ago was a frequent visitor to Warrensburgh as a guest of Charles F. Burhans, has just inherited a fortune of $1.5 million from the estate of his niece, Mrs. Minnie Hackett Trowbridge, who hated him cordially and made no attempt to conceal her bitter feelings. Her dislike for the actor dates back to the second marriage of HackettÕ s father. In her last years of her life she was held incompetent. When Hackett visited Warrensburgh he was accompanied by his beautiful wife, known on stage as Mary Mannering, who has since divorced him.
Witness skips town
The case of the People against Austin Tucker has been delayed in Supreme Court. Tucker, a waiter employed in McCauleyÕ s CafŽ in Glens Falls, is charged with violation of the excise law in serving liquor to a minor. The principal witness, Agnes Wiswall, a 14-year old girl, has fled to Vermont.
Weather torments residents
The French scientist who claims that the sun is losing its heat is sustained in his contention by our weather record for the past month. On Feb. 14, 1914 in Glens Falls, all of the big stores closed their doors at noon in order that their employees might reach their homes without incident because of the raging snow storm. The morning of Feb. 24, it was 42 degrees below zero in Chestertown. Thirty inches of snow fell on Bolton Landing. Because of the weather, the Bolton Light & Power Co. has been unable to furnish light lately, a great inconvenience. On a lighter note, the young men have built a toboggan slide about half a mile long in Adirondack and it is crowded nearly every night, many going to enjoy the sport and others to see it.
Farrar secures new job
Stewart Farrar has secured a position as salesman for the Penn Wholesale Tobacco Co. of New York. He will make his headquarters in Warrensburgh and his territory will consist of Warren and several of the surrounding counties. The company handles all the popular brands of cigars and tobacco. (Note: Stewart Farrar, years ago the outstanding Warrensburgh historian, was the townÕ s star baseball player and later postmaster for many years. He was honored by having the townÕ s former School Street renamed for him. He was the grandfather of former Richards Library librarian, Sarah Farrar.)
River swallows building
A story-and-a-half frame building on River St. in Lewisville, partly overhanging the Schroon River, occupied by Harry C. Wells as a machine shop, collapsed the night of March 1, 1914 under the weight of the snow which had accumulated on its flat roof. The building was wrecked and several of the machines it contained were ruined, part of the building and many valuable tools fell into the river which were lost. (Note: Lewisville was the historic name for the settlement on River St. in Warrensburgh) Mr. Wells had removed only part of the snow deposited by the big storm of Feb. 14, 1914. The damage is estimated at about $600. The owner states that he will rebuild.
Be wary of creeping development
I
go to the Adirondacks for 6 to 8 weeks every year to fish -in the Spring for trout primarily in the Hudson River, and in the Fall, for steelhead in the Salmon River near Pulaski. I want and expect peace, quiet and relaxation in a true Adirondack setting. For me, the six-story Marriott Hotel proposed for Lake George is, in my opinion, an absolute abomination. ItÕ s an example of creeping growth for the area Ñ which is already a mountain Coney Island-Disneyland mix.) Over the years, I have made lots of friends in the Warren County-North Creek area and I would hate to see all of the Adirondacks destroyed. Yes, all Ñ it can happen, because thereÕ s no such thing as Ò Forever WildÓ when money interests control politicians and the well-heeled want their way. HereÕ s what creeping growth does to a town. I have experienced firsthand what creeping growth does to a town, and I believe anyone seriously concerned about the future of the Adirondacks should hear about what IÕ ve seen happen. I spent most of my adult life in Half Moon Bay, a small picturesque fishing and farming town in Northern California 25 miles south of San Francisco. When I first arrived in 1970, there were no such things as traffic jams. Now, there is everyday gridlock and a very upscale Ritz-Carlton Hotel, along with a restrictedaccess golf course. The elected local officials decided to turn the town into a tourist-serving Monterey Peninsula/Carmel clone. The town exploded into numerous tourist-serving retail boutiques, upscale
Bird finds new home
The afternoon of Feb. 18, 1914, a wild bird, exhausted from flying, dropped into James GatesÕ front dooryard in Lewisville, Warrensburgh. It had the somewhat appearance of a loon or a duck but Jim couldnÕ t classify it so he took it to the Rev. G.H. Purdy who said it was a Grebe, a swimming bird of the Podieibedidae family, very rare in this section. After the bird is rested sufficiently, he will be turned loose to pursue his course as he pleases. In the meantime, Jim is feeding the bird bait fish which he consumes with great satisfaction. (Note: Grebes are poor fliers with short wings, webbed toes and stubby bodies.)
Update from Bolton
Zera Frasier has moved to The Huddle. Many local children are ill with the chicken pox. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Edward Gates celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary on Feb. 23, 1914. Mrs. Gates is the former Miss Nettie Gertrude Harris.
News around Warrensburgh
Miss Annie Golden, employed as a weaver in the Warrensburgh Woolen Co.Õ s mill on Milton Avenue, spent Sunday March 1, 1914 in Glens Falls and fell on the ice the next day in front of the Rockwell House on Glen St. while waiting to take a car for her home in Warrensburgh. In other news, Clarence Potter has purchased through the agency of Edson Granger of the Warrensburgh Garage, a new five-passenger Maxwell touring car which he will offer for hire during the coming season. Mr. Potter is making his headquarters in the Warren House.
Death in the news
Lewis Morehouse, 85, of Johnsburgh, died the morning, of Feb. 9, 1914 after an illness of several months duration. He was born in Hebron, Washington County, but later resided in Johnsburgh since his early boyhood. He leaves a widow, the former Miss Mary Brooks, eight sons and six daughters. Burial was in the Johnsburgh Cemetery. Frank L. Thayer, 29, a former resident of Warrensburgh, died after a long illness at his home in Gloversville. He is survived by his mother, Margaret Thayer. The deceased was a printer by trade and served his apprenticeship in the War-
rensburgh News office. Warren J. Potter, a prominent citizen of Glens Falls, was stricken with apoplexy on the afternoon of Feb. 21, 1914 while riding on a Hudson Valley trolley car to the business center from his home at 218 Ridge St. and died almost immediately at 2:50 oÕ clock. He leaves a widow, a son, Herbert Potter and a daughter, Helen Potter.
News near and far
News has been received that inventor William Marconi has developed an apparatus by which he has lighted an electric lamp by wireless six miles from his electrical plant in London. A 100 horsepower dynamo sent the power through the air to an aerial receiver which was linked to an electrical bulb. J. Breen of Schroon Lake has 15 tons of good hay for sale. Harry Smith finished his job of drawing bolt wood from near the Fish Ponds in Bakers Mills to North Creek. A son was born at the Orange Wood home on Horicon Avenue, Warrensburgh. In North Thurman, Eddie Rounds badly jammed one of his feet recently while unhitching his team. George Johnson froze his ears while coming home from a prayer meeting at the home of Calvin Mattison on the Stony Creek road. Mrs. Ruth Cowles, 77, died the morning of Feb. 24, 1914 at her home, the Cedar River Hotel, at Indian Lake. She was buried in the Glens Falls Cemetery. A new upright piano has been installed in the Crandall Hall and a good floor is available for the popular new dances. (Note: Emerson S. CrandallÕ s house was the former White House Lodge next door to the present day Warrensburgh Museum and his three-story business block was across the street before it burned for the second time on Feb. 9, 1927 after his death. It has been suggested that if we would begin calling the square dances immoral, they would become in fashion again.

Guest Viewpoint restaurants and expensive hotels and palatial-sized houses built on speculation as the town tried to achieve prosperity through upscale growth and inflation. House flipping became popular as real estate prices skyrocketed. So did commercial property rents; many to the extent that better lease deals were available in Manhattan! Furthermore, the town Ñ to the detriment of local businesses Ñ has always welcomed, with hopeful open arms, carpetbaggers who added to the illusion of prosperity, while the reality was that the outsiders skimmed the cream off the top of the economy and left the unprofitable dirty work (keeping tourists coming back and cleaning up after them) to the year-round locals. Yet, everyone appeared to be happy. Business was seemingly booming and things were fine — so long as losses could be covered with home equity loans. Keep in mind that this expansion took place during the boom times of the 1990Õ s and 2000Õ s in the San Francisco Bay Area Ñ in one of the wealthiest counties in the nation. There was plenty of money available for unchecked speculation! Most of the solid, long-time core businesses either closed or were sold to newcomers as the town re-invented itself as an expensive place to live, with highly overpriced real estate Ñ and as an overpriced tourist destination with overpriced motels and hotels. The town essentially became a weekend getaway for upscale visitors and an expensive bedroom community for locals where the roads are miserably gridlocked every weekday as local workers drive to their high-paying jobs in the San Francisco Bay Peninsula and Silicon Valley so that they can pay for their overpriced houses and multiple vehicles that they really canÕ t afford. On weekends, the same locals canÕ t go anywhere because the roads are even more congested than on weekdays Ñ this time with tourists! This development made traffic so bad that it often

benches at the town recreation field off Library Avenue. Proposed improvements at Veterans’ Park include installation of benches and a handicap-accessible picnic table. At the Echo Lake Boat Launch off Lake Avenue, upgrades would include kiosks, a bench, a trash can and landscaping. Belden and Monahan rhave drafted plans to install directional signs on the townÕ s main roads and place historical markers at various sites around town. The two are also planning to determine ways of improving biking safety, particularly on state Rte. 418, Golf Course Road and Schroon River Road. Belden also noted he and Monahan are seeking a grant through the Adirondack - Glens Falls Transportation Council for several proposed projects Ñ one is to design a streetscape plan to improve safety and the aesthetics along River St., and for an evaluation of the Osborne Bridge with an aim of improving safety for pedestrians. Belden also said he plans on working with the transportation council on developing a hamletwide parking plan, as a first step in providing more parking — an ongoing concern of area business owners.

takes two hours to crawl eight miles and traffic jams occasionally delay commuters for up to six hours. To make matters even worse, there are only two narrow roads in and out of the town; each of which can be expected to close several times each year due to accidents and mud slides. A few years ago, one of the roads was closed for six months Ñ and our business lost half its revenues during the closure. Even though large numbers of tourists go to the beaches on summer weekends, most of the tourism-based businesses are struggling to stay alive. Half Moon Bay tourism is a weekend, mostly summertime, business; yet the exorbitantly sky-high rents need to be paid all year. In Half Moon Bay, business owners essentially work like hell all summer to make up for what they lose all winter. When the house of cards collapsed and reality eventually hit home, and many priced themselves out of the tourism market because of the prohibitively high costs of doing business in a tiny expensive town. The only profitable businesses left, with a few exceptions, were the non-tourism-based ones. The cozy, funky little restaurants and cafes were replaced by Burger King and McDonaldÕ s. Even the real estate interests suffered Ñ and still are suffering. And this is occurring in one of the wealthiest counties in the nation. Ever-ongoing upscale development Ñ which inevitably turns into uncontrolled growth — benefits only a few special interests and destroys a townÕ s legacy, values and quality of life. In California, the California Coastal Commission is supposed to prevent creeping coastal development. In New York, will the Adirondack Park Agency be able to resist the temptations of moneyed interests any better?
LAKE GEORGE Ñ The Town of Lake George is now seeking two new members to serve on the town Planning Board. Those who have interest in the townÕ s future development are encouraged to apply for the posts. Duties include reviewing development site plans and evaluating subdivision applications. The planning boardÕ s meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. Board members must be residents of the town of Lake George. Those who seek to serve should submit an application, available at the town center at 20 Old Post Road, Lake George, NY 12845, or
David Safrany Half Moon Bay, Calif. by calling the town supervisor’s office at 6685722. The two new members chosen will be filling the vacancies of Charlie Portes, whose term ended Dec. 2013; and Jack Abrahams, who resigned from the board in 2013.

Bolton’s ‘Cabin Fever’ party set for next Saturday By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com BOLTON LANDING - BoltonÕ s Cabin Fever Party, one of the townÕ s signature social events, is scheduled for Saturday March 1. Hailed as a phenomenal success, the party provides the opportunity for local folks to reconnect with old friends and make new ones Ñ while enjoying gourmet pot-luck food and dancing to live music and dancing. Attracting about 150 people annually, the party is held at the Bolton Community Center Ñ the former Conservation Club headquarters Ñ off Edgecomb Pond Road. This fifth annual Cabin Fever party, set for 6 p.m. until whenever, is a free fundraiser for the Bolton Library Ñ donations are accepted at the door. Live music is to be provided by the homegrown Blue Moon Band based in Bolton, Li-
brary Director Megan Baker said. Ò Our Cabin Fever event is a stress-reliever party with music, dancing and food,Ó she said. Ò It will serve as a fun, welcome break from this long hard winter weÕ ve been experiencing.Ó Annually the party has sported a tropical theme. This year, the childrenÕ s beach will be situated outside, beside a bonfire for roasting marshmallows to make sÕ mores. The decorations are to reflect a South Pacific influence, and attendees are urged to wear grass skirts and leis, and bring along mock parrots, paper lanterns and flower arrangements if they so wish. Adults are welcome to bring alcoholic beverages to the event. Partygoers will likely be recruited to dance the macarena and the limbo, Baker said. The event includes raffles and 50-50 drawings. Baker added expectations are high for this yearÕ s event. She noted that last yearÕ s edition raised $2,000 for the library. Over the partyÕ s
four-year tenure, it has raised more than $7,000 for the library, a welcome sum considering the ever-increasing costs of library operation, Baker said. When the Cabin Fever Party had its debut in 2010, a capacity crowd jammed into the Parish Hall of St. Sacrement Episcopal Church. The next year, it was moved into the Town of Bolton Highway Garage to accommodate more people. The following year, it was moved to its present site in the Bolton Community Center after the former Conservation Club was fully renovated. Volunteers are still needed for set up at about 1 p.m. Saturday March 1, and for clean-up the following morning. People are also needed to staff the donation table. Those who can help out are urged to call Baker at 644-2233 or Calautti at 644-3128, or contact Calautti at Blue_Snow230@ msn.com.

The event is expected to draw a crowd, who are likely to share stories, photos and recollections of experiences on the ski slope — without any angst over the fact that the ski area was really developed 52 years ago.

Maple Days weekends are coming up!
Thurman Maple Days will be held the last three weekends in March. This is when area maple producers open their doors to area residents and visitors eager to learn more about the industry. We have four major maple producers in our quaint town and the ones participating in Map0le Days are as follows: Hidden Hollow Maple Farm located on Dippikill Road has been in business for over 40 years and is now in its second generation of being family owned and operated. The Wallace family with has 4,500 vacuum-assisted taps in 4,100 trees and are the largest maple syrup producer in Warren County. Toad Hill Maple Farm has been producing pure maple for over 30 years. Toad Hill is a family-owned maple sugaring operation with over 100 acres being actively managed for maple production with over 4000 vacuum assisted taps. Valley Road Maple Farm, owned by Mike Hill of Warrensburg and Ralph Senecal of Queensbury, have recently increased their sap collection by adding 12 miles of new tubing and doubling the number of taps, bringing their total to 2800. Adirondack Gold Maple Farm is situated on 30 acres with 1,200 taps and owned and operated by Marc and Cheryl Kenyon. They have been in the Maple business for nine years and are the third generation of the KenyonÕ s to make maple syrup on their property. For tourists planning to spend a night or two while attending Maple Days, we have a prime idea. The Glen Lodge, a newly build bed & breakfast, is owned and operated by Doug and Aimee Azert. Located at the junction of Rte. 28 and Glen-Athol Road, it is an authentic Adirondack-style lodge, and at press time it had rooms available during the Maple Day weekends. To reach Aimee or Doug by phone, call 494-4984.
Famed Jackwax party returns

Lake George town & village sign joint services agreement By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ Leaders of the town and village of Lake George signed an agreement recently to consolidate some of their municipal operations Ñ a move which is expected to improve services while saving taxpayers some cash. The one-year memorandum of understanding turns over the townÕ s Caldwell Sewer District operations to the village, while the town assumes responsibility for mowing and maintaining some village parks and properties Ñ plus managing the lifeguard duties for both municipalitiesÕ beaches. The agreement, effective May 1, was inked on Feb. 10 by board members of the town and village in a rare joint meeting. The success of the collaboration is to be reviewed in six months, allowing the town and village to renegotiate terms. Ò This will not only save each municipality cash but it will also increase and improve services,Ó village Mayor Robert Blais said. Ò ItÕ s a win-win situation.Ó The agreement calls for a renegotiation in 2015, with the expectation that it will be renewed for an additional three-year term. Blais said the agreement was pursued in part to take advantage of the potential tax benefits that Gov. Andrew Cuomo proposed to reward municipalities that consolidate services. Ò WeÕ ll be looking at several other opportunities for consolidation in the next two years, bringing our town and village together as close as we can,Ó Blais said at the meeting. The town is to hire and manage the lifeguards that will staff the villageÕ s Shepard Park Beach as well as their own Ushers Park beach and Diamond Point Beach.

The village, however, is to continue to maintain the beach, furnish equipment, and pay the salary of the lifeguards on duty there. Town employees are to mow and maintain the lawns at Shepard Park, the Village Hall, the Lake George firehouse property, the Lakefront Walkway, MacDonald Park, a lot on James Street and the village Recreation Center off Transfer Station Road Ñ all

This yearÕ s new popular attraction, the Lake George Dogs Got Talent show and contest, occurs both days at 2:30 p.m. on Shepard Park Beach. So far this year, some very talented canines have been showing off their tricks. Of course, thereÕ s the carnivalÕ s trademark Polar Plunge event, featuring dozens of brave swimmers dashing into the frigid lake Ñ - a favorite spectator event set for 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The Plunge is preceded at 2:30 p.m. by the Snowmobile Water Skip, in which a sled pilot careens over open waters for 100 yards or more, defying gravity that could sink his snowmobile into the icy waters.

village-owned properties, at no cost to the village. In return, the village is to maintain, operate, inspect and repair the pump stations, collection lines and transmission mains of the town-owned Caldwell Sewer District, which transports sewage to the village sewer treatment plant. While such work accomplished on regular working hours will not be billed to the town, overtime labor thatÕ s approved in advance will be the townÕ s responsibility to pay. Also, the town will be continuing to pay for the cost of parts, fixtures, equipment and service contracts for the sewer district. On the other hand, the village employees Ñ primarily Judy Gearwar Ñ will be providing the town advice and work in maintaining existing flower beds and gardens as well as creating new ones. Gearwar has received regional acclaim for her decorative gardens in the village, and town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson said he was happy that his municipality would be receiving the benefits of her expertise, and she’d likely be collaborating with town board member Marisa Muratori, also known for her beautification efforts. Gearwar is to continue to be an employee of the town. Dickinson predicted that Gearwar and Muratori and other town employees would be achieving considerable aesthetic accomplishments as they collaborate on the upcoming Exit 21 Lake George Gateway project, which calls for extensive landscaping and a new green median in the middle of Rte. 9 leading into the village. Ò This is a great thing for both the town and village, and weÕ ve worked long and hard for it,Ó Dickinson said. Ò And we have bigger and better things down the road.Ó
