Lake George leaders consider 20-year solar power contract
JACK WAX
Celebration of spring on the way PAGE 3 IN THURMAN
By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ With an intent of boosting the environment while saving taxpayers thousands of dollars, the town and village of Lake George are now taking collaborative steps towards converting to solar energy. The two municipalities are poised to sign 20-year contracts that call for an array of solar panels to be constructed by a solar engineering firm and bankrolled by private investors on behalf of the village. These panels are to supply the amount of electricity to the stateÕ s power grid that offsets the aggregate amount the town and village normally use. CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Irish family festival planned for this weekend By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ The village known for revelry as well as family-oriented fun will be hosting the fourth edition of its successful St. PatrickÕ s Day weekend festival this weekend, Saturday March 15 and Sunday March 16.

Area leaders to strategize composting of yard, food waste By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY Ñ Some communities in the Capital Region routinely offer free or low-cost compost and mulch for their local residents to use for landscaping and gardening purposes, and a coalition of citizens from Warren County would like to see it happen in their towns.
A coalition of community groups and individuals are seeking to encourage municipal composting of yard waste and organic materials, and a workshop and discussion session is planned for April 4 on the initiative. They have cited that if adopted, local residents would benefit by having affordable garden compost and landscape mulch available, while area towns could reap revenue from those materials while ob-
taining savings from decreased hauling and disposal expenses associated with a reduction in their waste stream. A variety of towns in the region already chip wood for various grades of mulch, but few if any in the region fully compost organic material to be used as a soil enricher. Some area citizen activists would like to see the CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Work resumes on new health center
Construction resumed March 10 on Hudson Headwaters Health NetworkÕ s new health center in Warrensburg. Building activities for the $9.5 million facility had been delayed last month when the original general contractor, Eastern Building and Restoration, declared bankruptcy. The new general contractor is Bette & Cring Construction group of Albany, said George Purdue, chief administrative officer for HHHN. Ò We are pleased that this issue resolved quickly and that work is again moving forward,Ó Purdue said, predicting that the health center would be ready to open in March 2015. Ò We are confident that Bette and Cring will do an outstanding job for us.” Purdue continued that Hudson Headwaters has not incurred additional costs because of the delay, and that Bette & Cring have previously constructed a health center for Hudson Headwaters. The new two-story Warrensburg Health Center, 38,000 square feet in floor space, is being built to replace the existing health center on Main Street, and local officials have said they expect it will be a landmark in downtown Warrensburg.

Grant awarded to Thurman for moving town court By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com ATHOL Ñ The townÕ s justice court will soon be moving back into its former quarters in the historic Harris House just southeast of the town hall, if plans progress as expected. The town received a letter Tuesday Feb. 25 of a state grant of $11,500 awarded for renovating Harris House so the justice court can be relocated to its first floor. The money would be used to install a new furnace and repair damage caused by the May 2011 flooding of the building’s basement. March 11, the Thurman Town Board voted to accept the grant, which bears no requirements for local taxpayers to match funds. Justice Sheila Flanagan wrote the grant application for the upgrades, submitting it to the state court system officials, town Supervisor Evelyn Wood said. Flanagan and Wood said the grant award was welcome, and provide for court operations that were more convenient, secure and private Ñ if the town board votes to accept the grant. Ò The Harris House is a nice, historic building hopefully this grant will get things moving in the right direction,Ó Wood said. Until late 2011, the justice court and town judgeÕ s quarters were situated in the Harris House, along with the town assessors. The building was closed down in fall of that year, in an effort to save utility and heating costs. The town court was moved to the town hall, with the judgeÕ s bench mounted on wheels, so it can be rolled into the general meeting room to conduct town court, which is held at 2 p.m. on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. This past year, however, with the town hall being used for other purposes regularly and town operations becoming more complex, the court sessions have run into conflicts — plus the state is raising its standards for court security. An additional separate room is also needed for judge-attorney conferences and attorneyclient consultations Ñ all of which the Harris House could provide, Flanagan said. Now Flanagan shares an office that’s routinely busy with other functions, Wood said. Also, town
court occasionally conflicts with town board and community meetings, she added. Flanagan said the state grant would go far in accomplishing renovations, because local residents have volunteered to help with Harris House repairs and upgrades Ñ including drywall and painting work. Under the grantÕ s requirements, the town has 180 days to complete the work. The Harris House, built in the 1890s by local resident David I. Combs, could also conceivably house the Thurman Town HistorianÕ s office as well as the town assessors, and perhaps provide a secondary community space for town groups to use, Flanagan said. She added that a new furnace would likely be considerably more economical than the prior one that was ruined by flooding. Ò Hopefully the Harris House renovation will open up possibilities and be good for the whole community,Ó she said. Flanagan said Thurman Court Clerk Joanna Cummings suggested applying for the grant. For years, Cummings worked as a court clerk in the Town of Providence where her husband served as town judge. Flanagan praised CummingsÕ knowledge of court functions and the availability of grant money for court renovations. Ò Joanna is a huge resource for Thurman,Ó Flanagan said, deferring the credit for the grant to her court clerk. Wood said she was pleased that the grant was awarded in full, and that the Harris House would again be an important and useful building for townspeople. Ò We were very happy to receive the grant,Ó she said. Ò With the money, we should be able to get quite a bit of work completed.Ó
Pictured above, top: The historic Harris House, located next to the Thurman Town Hall in Athol, may again house the town court and judge’s quarters, if the town accepts a $11,500 grant from the state for building upgrades. The Thurman Town board decided March 11 to accept the money and make needed upgrades. The grant was announced last week. Photo provided
NWCS youth to present musical comedy
The students in grades four through eight of North Warren Central School will be presenting the musical Ò Dear Edwina, Jr.Ó at 7 p.m. on Friday, March 21 and Saturday, March 22 in the schoolÕ s auditorium. Dear Edwina is a heartwarming musical comedy about a young girl named Edwina Spoonapple portrayed by 8th grader Brooke French who would do just about anything to be a part of the Kalamazoo Advice-A-Palooza Festival. While her siblings have proof posted on their family refrigerator of their accomplishments, poor Edwina has no such documentation. When a talent scout from Advice-A-Palooza visits her hometown of Paw Paw, Michigan, she trots out her own musical advice-providing show she rehearsed in the family garage in hopes of finding her place in the spotlight. New neighborhood friend Bobby Newsome portrayed by 8th grader Jared Maxwell is coaxed into joining the production and gets in the way of Scott Kunkle, 6th grader Conner Monroe, who is trying to win EdwinaÕ s affection. Edwina answers the letters by offering her advice for a multitude of perplexing situations through song and dance. Dear Edwina is considered a show for all ages to enjoy. Admission is free to the musical. Donations for refreshments at the show go to offset expenses of the cast party.

Strange start to race for Congress
B
y now, you may be aware of Aaron Woolf. HeÕ s the guy running for Congress to replace outgoing U.S. Rep. Bill Owens, a fellow Democrat. Owens was elected in 2009 to represent the 21st District in a contentious election that drew national media coverage. If you have heard of Woolf, itÕ s not because he has engaged voters and generated name recognition since his selection by local Democratic chiefs in mid-February, but rather because the media is sounding off that they havenÕ t had a chance to speak with the candidate. He hasn’t made any official appearances, given any interviews or publicly engaged with voters. Editorial boards across the district have been bashing him for his perceived lack of transparency surrounding his nascent campaign. Democrats, most of whom are unwilling to go on the record, appear to be unified in their talking points making statements like: Ò Woolf needs time to prepare. Mr. Woolf is carefully studying the issues and meeting with voters across the North Country. Ò Aaron will be ready to meet with the media soon,Ó they say. Ò Not now. But just you wait Ñ youÕ re going to love him.Ó Republicans, for their part, appear to be exuberant in hammering what they perceive to be an out-of-touch carpetbagger, relishing in flogging the candidate whenever he ventures out into the open and is subsequently smacked down with questions about his candidacy. Both sides need to change tactics. HereÕ s some advice for the Democrats: This isnÕ t House of Cards, the popular Netflix drama about a scheming Washington politico, but rather a sweeping and expansive district of hard-working, blue collar folks who just want to earn an honest keep. So your silence in explaining how you selected Woolf as a candidate isnÕ t doing you any favors and your pseudo palace intrigue makes you look amateurish. Grow up and be transparent. How are you going to help voters in the North Country? Arm your local committee chairs with policy positions instead of tongue-tied gibberish. And then when your candidate is ready to speak, he can put his best foot forward and the press can pepper him with questions based on your local platform, not amateur missteps that we learned how to avoid in our undergrad poly sci courses. And to the Republicans: We read you loud and clear on your talking points. However, in-
stead of issuing steady streams of fiery rhetoric that much of the public is immune to, anyway Ñ vacuous bleating against Obamacare, liberals and empty appeals to what some may interpret as archaic interpretations of morality Ñ instead show the public that you are engaged, alert and ready to lead by bringing some fresh ideas to the table. Use the information vacuum on the other side to create valuable public dialogue so voters know what you plan to do to make their lives better and how you plan on ensuring their best interests on the federal level. All of that being said, the general public appears to dislike Congress, anyway, which makes this all but an exercise in futility. According to a Gallup poll released March 10, with the election eight months away, 15 percent of Americans approve of the overall job Congress is doing. This is slightly better than last monthÕ s 12 percent Ñ golly, have a drink on us Ñ but extends a nearly-steady string of sub-20 percent approval ratings for Congress that started in mid-2011. Hmm. WeÕ re eviscerating a man for diving into a position in which heÕ ll immediately be thoroughly despised, anyway. Score one for foresight. Democratic officials reached out to us on Monday, March 10, to coordinate an open-ended interview with Woolf. WeÕ ll have talked with him by the time you have read this and weÕ ll have a clearer picture as to who this fellow actually is and what heÕ s thinking about. We have the same questions of why this anointed Democratic candidate as well as Democratic Party leaders have been so unapproachable for more than a month and we hope to soon provide some answers. But until then, while a victory seems to be a long shot at this juncture given his ineffectual start, the only advice we have to Mr. Woolf if elected is to be prepared for a grueling, thankless job Ñ and more of the type of microscope media scrutiny you are experiencing now. HereÕ s the bottom line. The issues facing our communities are raw, real and unrelenting and we need a red, white and blue leader to serve our interests regardless of political party Ñ not petty children squabbling over what equates to mere puffs of gas in the wind. There is enough of that going on in Congress already. Ñ

News of the death of Harry V. Radford, formerly of North Creek and well-known throughout the Adirondacks, and his traveling companion T.

Radford and Sweet, who were exploring the far north, had engaged two Eskimos to guide them to a whaling vessel at Point Barrow. The party was already to start when one of the Eskimos backed out and refused to go. Enraged by this action, Radford struck the guide with a whip. A fight followed and Radford was speared in the back by another native. Sweet made a run for his sleigh, but was murdered before he had any time to put up a fight. Radford, it seems, had bought an Eskimo wife and according to the story told by her father and another Eskimo who had witnessed the fight, Radford put up quite a fight before he gave in and had to be speared several times before he fell and his life lingered as he lay on the ground, he got the finishing touch by getting his throat cut. On being asked why the Eskimo refused to accompany Radford, they said that the manÕ s wife was taken ill and Radford not understanding the Eskimo language, must have taken the wrong meaning and tried to force obedience. (Note: Harry Radford and T. George Sweet died before they got to Point Barrow in 1914. Will Rogers and Wiley Post died in a plane crash in 1935 when they arrived there. In 1908, Harry V. Radford erected a bronze tablet on a large boulder on the mountain road entering North Creek from the Tahawus Club commemorating Teddy RooseveltÕ s wild ride Sept. 14, 1901, to the train station in North Creek when he became President of the U.S. after President William McKinley expired in Buffalo from an assassinÕ s bullet.)
Curio sold at auction
A letter written by Edgar Allan Poe brought $700 at the sale of the John Boyd Thacher collection of autographs in New York City. The poet never had as much money as that at one time in his life. His days were spent in a battle against poverty. (Note: Mentally disturbed, Poe attempted suicide in 1848 after his wife died. He died in 1849 when he was only 40.)
A double life revealed
The death in Omaha, Nebraska recently of Philip J. Ackermann, formerly of Greenwich, revealed his double life. Though he had a wife and family living in Watertown, N.Y., he married another woman in Boston last June and was living with her in Omaha. She claimed his body but gave it up willingly when she learned of the existence of the Watertown wife.

Letters to the Editor
Glens Falls Civic Center shouldn’t be subsidized by public To the Editor: Now, we have no hockey team for the Glens Falls Civic Center and no real events in the future. Why? IÕ ll tell you why. ItÕ s because we have a politician running an entertainment venue. The job of a politician is fixing sewer pipes and patching potholes. For a politician to force taxpayers to subsidize an entertainment business is ridiculous. Sell the Civic Center to somebody who knows what they are doing and can operate it without $600,000 of city tax money yearly. The mayor of Lake George village wants to start a new Civic Center tax for everybody in the tri-county area. This idea is from the mayor who has Lake George village buried in $10,000,000 of long-term debt. ItÕ s time for him to retire before does any more damage. Sell the Civic Center and stop picking our pockets. Sure, a new tax might start with .0001% per $1,000 of assessed value. Then, itÕ s upward and onward to raise the taxes again and again at county board meetings. The mayor in Lake George should concentrate on limiting his spending. He should not be trying to start another new tax which impacts everyone in the tri-county area. Chuck Bleibtrey Lake George

Loving mother dies
Adelia Chandler Daggett, 68, of North Caldwell, Lake George, died March 23, 1914, when she succumbed to liver trouble after a long and painful illness. Two daughters survive, Mrs. Anna Savarre and Mrs. Raymond Monroe at Lake George. For many years the deceased furnished an example of motherly love and devotion. Her son, William Chandler was in his early youth stricken with rheumatism in the most malignant form and all joints of his body became stiffened, making him entirely helpless. He also became totally blind. For many years his devoted mother cared for him tenderly and lavished upon him a wealth of love which lightened his heavy burden of pain and sorrow until death came to his relief about two years ago. Mrs. Chandler cared for him most of the time alone and every hour of the day and night turned him in his bed that he might be more comfortable.
Bad luck strikes farmer
One of Robert RussellÕ s horses broke a leg March 20, 1914 in his barn at Bakers Mills. It is not known just how it happened. The break was so bad that it was necessary to kill the valuable animal. This is a sad loss to Mr. Russell as it breaks up his team just as the spring work is about to begin. He had just bought a horse in order to be ready for the work. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. David Sawyer on March 20, 1914. Porter E. Dunkley underwent an operation for an abscess in his head.

A new generation of daredevils
In this column in the Jan. 25, 2014 Adirondack Journal was the story of Frederick Rodman Law, 29, a daredevil movie stunt performer and parachutist who made a name for himself in this area by climbing hand over hand across 300 foot deep Ausable Chasm, on a steel wire rope. He was called Ò The Human Fly.Ó Now, 100 years later, another daredevil tightrope walker, Nik Wallenda has set his sights on the goal of walking across the nearly 1,000 foot deep Tallulah Gorge in the northeast Georgia mountains. His great-grandfather Karl Wallenda successfully crossed it on July 18, 1970 on a high wire before 30,000 spectators and later plunged to his death in 1978 while trying to walk a cable between two buildings in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

BCS to present ‘13 — The Musical’
Bolton Central SchoolÕ s Drama Club is presenting Ò 13 - The MusicalÓ at 7 p.m. Friday March 21 and Saturday March 22 in the Bolton Central School gym. Admission is $5 for adults and $2 for students. The show explores themes including popularity, allegiances, and how character and friendship trumps other more superficial aspects of teen life. The show is about a boy named Even who is about to turn 13 and have a bar mitzvah. His parents get divorced, and he moves to Indiana where he attempts to be accepted by the cool crowd. A variety of situations with entangled relationships end up prompting Evan to realize who his true friends are, according to BCS History Teacher Paul Weick who has directed seven dramatic shows at the school. Ò The kids are excited about this musical because they can relate to it,Ó Weick said. Ò ItÕ s a humorous show that also has a deeper meaning.Ó Tenth grader Megan Stacey has a prominent role fo the third year in a row. Last year she played Ariel in Ò The Little MermaidÓ and two years ago she performed a solo in the opening song of Ò Girl CrazyÓ two years ago. Weick said he chose the Ò 13 - The MusicalÓ for the schoolÕ s 2014 production because a drama club student gave me a CD of the song track and he loved it, because of the great pop rock music. Accompanying half of the musicalÕ s songs will be a live band featuring Tyler Dawson on guitar, Dan Malone on the drums, and Laura Weick on piano. For the most part, students will be wearing their own clothing because itÕ s a contemporary show Ñ and the set will be minimal with some backdrops created by the students. Weick asks parents to note that the musical is rated PG and contains some mature topics and insinuations that may not be suitable for younger children. Students in the cast are: Josh Baker, Sarah Calzada, Marya Collins, Carson Courchaine, Dan Dimick, Zoe Gavin, Nyla Green, Warren Hughes, Luc LeMaire, Sheyera Little, Kiara Mantz, Lindsay Markham, Micaela Perrelli, Maddy Pratt, Mackenzie Roberts, Joe Saleh, Abbie Seamans, Molly Showers, Megan Stacey, Kenzie Tennent, and Kaitlin Whitford.

LG Solar Power From page 1
The town and village taxpayers wonÕ t be bearing the up-front construction costs of the solar arrays, but they will instead be benefiting financially from the installation, according to a presentation Monday March 10 to town board members by Stan Dobert of Apex Solar Power Corp. based in Queensbury. The town and village are to be paying less to this joint enterprise for electricity, month-by-month than they would routinely pay to the local utility provider National Grid, Dobert said. The savings to the town is accomplished through the private investors reaping generous tax credits of up to 30 percent and other incentives offered by the state and government, according to Mike Doud of Overseas Lease Group, which is collaborating with Apex on the proposed project. Dobert and town board member Marisa Muratori both said the joint enterprise needed an initial agreement signed by April 1 by the board Ñ a memo of understanding outlining contract terms and barring the town from seeking competitive bids on the project Ñ in order to obtain maximum tax credits and to reap the most savings. After hearing the presentation from Dobert and Doud, the town board voted unanimously to authorize town supervisor Dennis Dickinson to sign the initial agreement before April 1, subject to approval of the town attorney. Dobert said the preliminary agreement didnÕ t fully commit the town to executing the solar-power contract, but it set the stage for the pending deal while locking in maximum utility savings and tax credits. Figures presented to the town and village cite a savings, during the first year of the contract, of $37,070 for the village on their $247,132 estimated annual electricity costs, and about $20,000 for the town, which uses less electricity. According to figures Apex provided to the village, their annual savings would grow to $415,652 by the end of the 20-year contract, based on an assumption that prevailing costs of power would double over that time. The proposal calls for the large array of solar panels to be constructed and situated on a field in Washington County, where the electricity would be fed into the state power grid and monitored by remote meters. Dobert said his firm had considered installing the solar arrays on top of the town landfill, but to do so would require permits from state environmental authorities and also might incur potential liabilities for investors, so it wasnÕ t practical. Muratori said she supported the project, and she called for quick action so the savings would be maximized Ñ because the tax credits are to scheduled to diminish in stages, through this year and next, beginning April 1. Hours before the presentation to the town board, Lake George Village Public Works Superintendent Dave Harrington described the proposed deal to the village trustees. He said the village uses about 1.5 megawatts of electricity per year, while the town uses 0.6 megawatts annually. Ò In this contract, hereÕ s no cost to the village, only savings,Ó Harrington said. Ò The only scary thing, is that itÕ s a 20-year contract.Ó

www.adirondackjournal.com Total utility savings for the village over the 20 years are forecast by Apex at $3.8 million, which Harrington said could be an Ò overly optimisticÓ projection. He said he supported the project if the savings were merely $10,000 rather than the projected $37,070. He said the proposed contract gives the village the option, at the end of the first five years of the contract, to buy the installation outright from the investors. Harrington noted that the town and Village of Fort Edward were collaborating on a similar project with Apex Solar, and the town of Bolton was also exploring the concept. Also, Apex Solar Power has installed a $32,000 solar thermal system that heats water for the Glens Falls HospitalÕ s dialysis center, and saves half the cost of the fuel bill for heating the 200 gallons per hour of warm water the facility uses daily in their dialysis treatments. The town of Chester decided in 2011 to install a large array of solar panels, and they doubled their solar generation capacity to 51.8 kilowatts in June 2012 to multiply their projected savings at three of their four solar installations. Their contract, which lasts for 10 years, is with Edge Consulting of Plattsburgh. The Lake George Village board endorsed the idea Monday of the proposed solar installation Ñ but unlike the town, they deferred approval on the initial agreement on contract terms until village Mayor Robert Blais was present to join in the decision. Board members proposed holding a special meeting on or before March 17 to reach a decision on the initial agreement.

Thurman’s ‘Maple Days’ this weekend
Sugaring season is now in full swing in the Adirondacks, and and people from near and far are welcome to visit maple sugar farms this weekend in our rural mountain town. Visitors this weekend and next are likely to get a good taste of traditional culture during Thurman Maple Days, which features he little town with a big maple industry. In a region where historically more families than not tapped sugar maples to make syrup for pancakes and sugar for baking, late winter is a time of intensive labor. Maple producers trek into the sugar-bushes, often on snowshoes, to drill holes, set taps and run or repair lines to carry sap to the sugarhouses for boiling and processing into a multitude of sweet treats. Beginning March 15 and 16, continuing Saturdays and Sundays through March 30, four Thurman maple producers will open their sugarhouses for tours. Each weekend open houses will be held at four maple operations Ð Hidden Hollow, Toad Hill, Valley Road and Adirondack Gold maple farms, with demonstrations and talks about tapping, evaporating, filtering and candy-making. Expect some wonderful samples and great shopping for an expanded inventory of maple treats. Also hosting will be Martin’s Lumber & Certified Tree FarmÑ featuring maple slabs and LucyannÕ s craft specialties, both with demonstrations. Peru Llama Farm will feature opportunities for children to visit some tame llamas, as well as childrenÕ s games. Nettle Meadow Farm will be offering samplings of its renowned gourmet cheeses and hourly tours as weather permits. Activities at all sites are from 10 a.m. till 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Valley Road Maple Farm opens an hour earlier each day, serving pancakes and famed local OscarÕ s sausages from 9 a.m. till 1 p.m. Take a camera and submit your best shots to info@ThurmanMapleDays.com for future event publicity.
Jack Wax Party preparations underway
Arrangements are progressing for the annual Jack Wax Party set for Saturday March 15 and it looks like itÕ s going to be quite an event, perhaps a record-breaker.

I thank all of you for donating your savory dishes and helping with the preparations. The food includes no less than four trays gourmet macaroni and cheese prepared and donated by Nettle Meadow Farm, and 14 pounds of roast sirloin from OscarÕ s Smoke House, and 2 fresh free-range turkeys from Whitefield Farm, our gourmet local meat producer. Note that BillÕ s Diner in Warrensburg has donated 14 pounds of ham, Thurman resident Kathy Terrell is donating a huge garden salad. ItÕ s also so gratifying to know that out-of-towners also want to assist in the success of our townÕ s famous community meal that benefits the work of the American Cancer Society. Mary Beth King of Hudson Falls is donating two giant trays of her Green bean casserole for the fundraiser. It will be fun to watch local children enjoying the old-fash-

Composting
divert such materials out of their waste stream to be recycled or composted, and by 2017 the law will require all households, institutions, restaurants and commercial entities to recycle their yard and lawn waste and food scraps and other organic material to be composted. Bradley noted that a good number of supermarkets in the greater Glens Falls area are now having their vegetable and organic waste hauled away by a private composting operation. Hearing that Lake George Village has an extremely high concentration of restaurants, she noted that an organized system of collecting food waste in the village would yield considerable benefits. Bradley said that composting of food scraps could include meat products including bones if the waste material is subjected to high temperatures. Restaurants can save money by reducing their entire waste stream by as much as 80 percent, she said, noting that busboys, cooks and waitstaff need minimal training to separate organic waste for separate collection. Also presenting at the upcoming Southern Adirondacks Organics Management Workshop will be Dave Mosher, director of a large-scale organics composting operation conducted by the Schenectady County Soil & Water Conservation District. His composting facility operates on 15 acres of land and has an annual budget of $340,000 Ñ offset by a similar sum reaped from selling compost, various grades of mulch as well as enriched topsoil. This facility accepts loads of grass clippings and leaves, limbs, and other organics, as well as a limited amount of food scraps. TheyÕ ve been serving Schenectady-area households, businesses and institutions since 1980. Their yard waste is ground up and bulldozed into 12-feethigh windrows. Occasionally, they sink food waste into pockets in these rows which are up to 300 feet long Ñ and the material is left to compost naturally over 13 months or so. They chip and grind the wood products for various grades and varieties of mulch for landscaping. Much of the compost produced is sold as a soil enricher, and some of it is blended for high-grade topsoil. They sell the finished products to residents, commercial entities and landscapers at a bargain price. Per year, this operation produces about 1,500 cubic yards of compost, approximately 1,200 yards of topsoil, and a similar amount of mulch, Mosher said.

initiative go further, to include collection and composting of food waste from restaurants, supermarkets and school cafeterias, for conversion into valuable soil-enriching products. These community activists have set up a workshop in Warrensburg on organic materials recycling and composting, intended primarily for town officials; public works superintendents; community leaders; restaurant, school and supermarket executives; and waste haulers in the southern Adirondacks. Also welcome are individuals who are interested in composting, recycling and waste reduction — and its environmental and financial benefits. The conference and workshop is to be held from 8:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. April 4 in the state Department of Environmental Conservation’s Warrensburg regional offices on Hudson St. Extension. Sponsoring the event are the Northeast Recycling Council based in Vermont, the state Department of Environmental Conservation, the Tri-County Transition Initiative, Warren County and the towns of Warrensburg, Lake George, Chester, Bolton, Queensbury, Hague, and Lake Luzerne. Last month, Ruth Lamb of Queensbury Ñ a member of the Transition Initiative, spoke at the Warren County Board of Supervisors meeting, asking them to participate in the workshop so they could hear first-hand about the benefits of organics composting and recycling, and to help strategize how to pursue the initiatives in the county. Ò Great things are now happening in recycling and composting, but they just arenÕ t happening yet here,Ó she said after her presentation. Athena Bradley of Northeast Recycling Council which conducts educational services in 10 states, said that comprehensive organics composting and recycling was the Ò wave of the future.Ó She said that three of these 10 states Ñ Vermont, Connecticut and Massachusetts Ñ already have instituted laws mandating composting and recycling of organics, and their requirements are now being implemented in phases. In the town of Brattleboro, food scraps are collected curbside alongside other conventional recyclables, and organic materials are composted. In Vermont, large scale generators of food waste now have to

Composting is the future, and itÕ s good for municipalities to learn to handle organic waste and reduce their disposal fees.Ó The April 4 workshop will include a jaunt to the nearby Warrensburg town landfill, to look at the limited organics processing the town presently conducts there. Town board member Linda Marcella has recently boosted the townÕ s recycling and sale of plastic waste, but she said this week more could be accomplished. Ò WeÕ d like to compost yard waste and food waste Ñ perhaps see the town and school do something together Ñ and end up with a usable, valuable product,Ó she said. Ó At the very least, it will eliminate the cost of disposal, and weÕ ll be giving something back to the taxpayers Ñ while doing our part for the environment.Ó Above: Ruth Lamb of Queensbury invites Warren County Supervisors to join community leaders and restaurant operators in attending a conference April 4 on organic materials management, which includes composting and recycling.
