County leaders to establish Ethics Board
IN WARRENSBURG
‘Princess Bride’ on tap at WCS
By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com
PAGE 2
QUEENSBURY Ñ With a focus on curbing conflict of interest, Warren County leaders are preparing to establish a Board of Ethics that would monitor the conduct of its employees. The initiative is being pursued in conjunction with establishing a new county Code of Ethics & Disclosure Law that would replace the ethics regulations that are now in effect. The draft regulations of the proposed law were distributed by Warren County Attorney Martin Auffredou at the county Personnel Committee meeting held Wednesday March 12. Auffredou said public hearings would likely be held on the proposed law later this year after it is endorsed by the county Board of Supervisors. The proposed Ethics Board, consisting of five members, would review and investigate allegations of ethics breaches CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Aaron Woolf breaks his silence with media By Pete DeMola pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Democratic congressional candidate Aaron Woolf said it was an “enormous release” to finally go public with his campaign. Ò I have felt the impatience from the press and you have probably known it,Ó he told the Valley News during a phone interview on Wednesday, March 12. Ò But
I strongly felt it was my first obligation to talk to the people in a direct way.Ó Woolf, who has remained silent until this point after his selection by Democratic committee chairs on Feb. 12, said he has been meeting with chambers of commerce, business leaders, hospitals, farmers and labor groups across the, Ò staggeringly big piece of territory,Ó that is the NY-21 Congressional District, and the visits have helped him to understand the regionÕ s shared interests and what he feels

Green Party candidate lays out his platform for the 21st By Pete DeMola thom@denpubs.com GLENS FALLS Ñ Meet Matt Funiciello, a local baker seeking to land the Green PartyÕ s nomination in the race to replace outgoing Congressman Bill Owens, a Democrat who announced in January that he is retiring from his four-year stint as the federal representative of New YorkÕ s 21st District.
Funiciello said heÕ s Ò watched in horror,Ó as aspiring candidates from the two major political parties have been coming from outside of the area in increasing numbers in an attempt to represent its 400,000plus voters, a trend that he feels isnÕ t isolated and doesn’t reflect how Congress is supposed to work. Ò Congress is supposed to be a cacophony of voices representing the uniqueness across the United States,Ó he told the Valley News in a phone interview.
Ò When they meet, theyÕ re supposed to represent that. WeÕ ve seen a corporate takeover and thatÕ s really frightening to me.Ó Funciello said Democrats and Republicans have both set up a practice of buying congressional seats, walking into county committee endorsement meetings with hundreds of thousands of dollars pledged CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

WCS students to present musical version of cult hit ‘The Princess Bride’ By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ Interrupting a rehearsal for a school musical, Warrensburg Drama Club coach Jim Corriveau jumped onstage and instructed an actor. Ò The audience has to feel your passion at this moment,Ó he said, gesturing as he stared into the actorÕ s eyes. Ò You have to Ô liveÕ the part.Ó Minutes later, he was back on the stage, gyrating amongst several dozen student actors and actresses in a dance number set to a classic rock anthem, demonstrating the energy they should all put into their moves. Warrensburg High School Senior Logan Webster watched him dance with abandon, and he smiled. Ò Mr. Corriveau is so energetic and really Ô intoÕ this Ñ every motion, every gesture has to be Ô just right,Õ Ó he said. Ò He has this vision for each show, and he always makes it happen.Ó On three nights next week, Thursday through Saturday March 29, a crowd will see the results of three months of such high-energy rehearsals, as Ò The Princess BrideÓ is performed. No less than 75 students are involved in the production of The Princess Bride, a hit adventure fantasy movie that Corriveau adapted for the stage. He added a new dimension Ñ classic & contemporary rock songs, backed up by a live jazz-rock ensemble of skilled musicians. After pounding out an accompaniment on piano in the March 14 rehearsal, Corriveau bounded onstage to offer more instruction. In a staged melee, Blake Vaisey was twirling Garry Ross above his head so RossÕ feet would appear
to strike Jacob Johnson in the face. Ò Snap your head back, absorb some of the blow,Ó Corriveau barked at Johnson. Ò And youÕ ve got to wince to convince the audience.Ó The trio repeated the scene, and the collision looked and realistic, prompting cheers from the cast. Ò Okay, now youÕ ve got it,Ó Corriveau said. Webster watched Johnson hit the floor as the collision was repeated. “Mr. Corriveau definitely has high standards Ñ nothing can be just Ô whatever.Õ Ó As Corriveau gulped some blue Gatorade, WCS Senior Whitney Marwica offered a comment. She plays Lady Joan, re-cast as a Valley Girl with narcolepsy. She also is a choreographer of the show, along with Gregan Callahan. This is her fifth year acting, singing and dancing in a drama production with Corriveau directing. “These musicals are definitely a lot of work, but they end up so much fun,Ó she said. Ò Mr. Corriveau is a perfectionist, like insisting we kick our legs up high and point our toes Ñ but the shows end up so good Ñ and we always have a blast. Since Corriveau joined the faculty of Warrensburg High in the late 1990s as vocal music director, WarrensburgÕ s drama productions have been acclaimed regionally for their dramatic substance, athletic dancing, emotionallycharged singing and professionally performed scores. Corriveau, however, deferred credit this week to the actors and stage crew. Ò The seniors in our drama club bring a high level of expectations to the rehearsals, a conviction of how we are a high-caliber team Ñ and

they inspire the younger students, conveying what we want to accomplish,Ó he said. Ò They know itÕ s unacceptable to go at it with half an effort Ñ and itÕ s a lot more fun for everyone when they work up a sweat and get exhausted together.Ó Vaisey, one of those actors whoÕ s been in five of Corriveau’s productions, offered his thoughts. Ò Being in these musicals, itÕ s an awesome experience Ñ to go from where no one knows
what the are doing in the early rehearsals, then ending up with an amazing show Ñ itÕ s just incredible,Ó he said. Ò Through this process, we end up like family.Ó Performances of The Princess Bride are on Thursday March 27, Friday March 28 and Saturday March 29, 7:30 p.m. each night night at Warrensburg High School, 103 Schroon River Road. Tickets are $8 for adults, and $6 for students and seniors 62 and older. For details, call Kelly Annis at 623-2861, ext. 222.
Legionnaires seeking aid for veterans
Session on hop growing, soil nutrition slated
WARRENSBURG Ñ Members of the Sons of the American Legion in Warrensburg are collecting donations for a Walk-a-thon to be held April 12 in Albany. The proceeds will be used to assist veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and traumatic brain injuries, as well as veterans in Veterans Administration nursing homes. The V.A. covers the basic medical cost of treating these veterans.; however these citizens require caregivers, who must pay for hotels while these veterans are under treatment. These donations will assist Fisher House as well as other hotels to offset this cost. Proceeds also pay for clothing, books, DVDs and hygiene supplies for elderly veterans. The local Sons of the American Legion will be collecting donations around Warrensburg in the next several weeks, and local Legionnaires request that area residents give as much as they can. Donations can also be mailed to Sons of the American Legion, c/o Eugene Pierce, 32 Ridge Ave, Warrensburg, NY 12885.
WARRENSBURG Ñ A dual presentation on soil health and nutrition plus growing hops as a hobby is to be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday March 28 at the state Department of Environmental Conservation office at 232 Hudson Ave. Extension in Warrensburg. This is the second in a series of free programs for individuals who are interested in hobby or subsistence farming, homesteading and personal food production. The soil health topic is to feature Scott Fitscher, and the hop-growing topic is hosted by Casey Holzworth. Light refreshments are to be provided. Those seeking to attend are asked to make reservations by March 24 with Nick Rowell at 623-3119 or :nrowell123@nycap.rr.com, as seating is limited.

Sunday’s ‘Wing-Off’ to support youth mission By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ Ready to embark on a mission this summer to help people in distressed circumstances upgrade their homes, the youth of St. CeciliaÕ s Catholic Church are conducting a fundraiser next weekend. The churchÕ s youth group is holding a Ò Wing-OffÓ event Sunday March 30 at George HenryÕ s Restaurant on lower Main St. in Warrensburg. All are invited to participate. To be held from noon to 7 p.m., the event features all-you-caneat chicken wings for $12 per person. Proceeds from the event are going toward funding the mission trip. The Wing-Off event features a basket raffle with a wide variety of merchandise and services donated by area businesses and individuals. Also, attendees have the option of competing in a wing-eating contest, with two divisions: one for youth, and another for adults. Prizes are to be awarded to those who consume the most chicken wings. Recently, members of St. CeciliaÕ s Youth in Mission group discussed their thoughts about their upcoming trip to North Arlington, New Jersey. Their mission involves a weekÕ s worth of work of fix-up, painting and cleaning projects in homes of people that couldnÕ t normally accomplish the work themselves Ñ plus other volunteer work. The youth will be helping out the elderly, infirm or those with limited financial resources, group leaders said. Projects on these annual missions also generally include work in area parishes, homeless shelters, day care centers, homes for people with disabilities, and soup kitchens. The group has heard it also may be stocking inventory and filling orders in area food pantries, and perhaps working in a youth center. Youth group member Glenn Warner, 18, who participated in the groupÕ s 2013 trip to Providence, R. I. said he and several members of his group helped clean up a churchÕ s basement and fix up the grounds. They also accomplished some painting work. Ò I enjoyed meeting and talking with the nuns,Ó he said. James Cunniffe, 13, said he painted and fixed up a residence for a homeowner in need. Ò It was a lot of fun Ñ I enjoyed meeting a lot of people,Ó he said. Ò This yearÕ s mission trip should be a great time like last year.Ó Julie Angell, 16, has been on four mission trips so far. SheÕ s cleaned up homes, helped paint residences and done lawn work Ñ for people with limited income who are bedridden, elderly, or have debilitating medical conditions, Julie said. Ò ItÕ s really heartwarming to help people who are less fortunate,Ó she said. While most of the youth group members are veterans at the

Program on climate change set locally
A program examining the reality of global climate change is to be presented by college administrator Stephen Danna from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, March 23 at St. CeciliaÕ s Church, 3802 Main St. in Warrensburg. Danna, the Dean of SUNY PlattsburghÕ s branch campus in Queensbury, has studied the science behind climate change and he has been certified as a lecturer on this topic by the international organization, Climate Reality Project. Danna notes that the severe storms, historic flooding events, increasing global temperatures, expanding droughts, melting ice and rising sea levels demonstrate scientistsÕ conclusions that climate change is having an increasingly adverse impact on Earth. In this March 23 session, Danna will present introductory information about climate changeÕ s causes, problematic consequences Ñ and ways both societies and individuals can minimize the problem which is likely to have great impact on the lives of the worldÕ s population and generations to come. The illustrated talk documents how glaciers are rapidly receding, oceans are becoming warmer causing a rise in sea level and flooding, as well as salinization of soils. If change isn’t enacted soon, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere will climb to levels not experienced on earth for one million years, Danna said. Already, climate change has fostered proliferation of destructive parasites and insects like deer ticks, crop pests, and mosquitoes that spread malaria and West Nile virus, while curtailing food production through drought and heat stress, he said. Ò This trend just isnÕ t going to stop by itself,Ó he said. Ò Consequences are dire if we donÕ t make changes.Ó Danna, who has a Doctorate degree in Educational Leadership, started out decades ago involved in biology and marine life which led him to a degree in oceanography and a stint with the

Hundreds brave the cold at ‘Sham Rock the Block’ By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ Irish band vocalist Erin Searson sang a Celtic rock melody Ñ and her words formed fog in the frigid air as her fingers stabbed keys on her keyboard. Her sister Colleen sawed on the strings of her fiddle. Both were wearing parkas with fur-trimmed hoods pulled around their faces and insulated Sorel boots as they led the Shearson Sisters Band in a streetside performance Sunday March 16 in Lake George Village. The groupÕ s Gaelic tunes Ñ with a pulsing rock beat, were a featured attraction of the weekend Sham-Rock the Block fest. Performing in a lightweight tent outside DuffyÕ s Tavern Sunday was a challenge, but not shocking, said Erin Searson on behalf of the band, based in Ottawa Valley, Ontario Ñ where it reached 43 degrees below zero this January. Ò A lot of snowmobilers here have been complimenting us on our outfits,” Erin Shearson said. Ò This is not our normal stage attire. But we were ready for this cold Ñ this is what we wear in winter if we perform outside.Ó While it wasnÕ t 43 degrees below zero in Lake George Village Sunday, the temperature was in the 20s for much of the day. Regardless, the crowd celebrating everything Irish enjoyed the festivities despite the weather, frigid for March. Dozens enjoyed the music of the Searson Sisters, although some of the lyrics were obscured
by several salamander flame-throwers emitting at least 300,000 btu to keep the crowd halfway warm. Outside the streetside tent, partyers huddled around fire pits to warm their limbs. Several people jogged to the music of the band as they absorbed heat. Others sat at picnic tables, eating traditional Irish food, as well as craft beer supplied by Adirondack Brewery. Among those shivering as they enjoyed the Irish music were Gail Nelson and her son Lincoln, 9. Gail Nelson was dressed in a storybook characterÕ s garb with green U-shaped pigtails, while Lincoln was in a formal outfit. He and his sister Kendra 10, won third prize in a dog show competition with their chihuahuas, Brutus and Kia, dolled up as a cowboy and cowgirl respectively. The show was sponsored by Lisa Giknis of The Dog Cabin shop in Lake George. Winning first place was a pug puppy dressed up as a leprechaun, owned by Joanne and Dave Morrison of Worthington, Mass. Bill Manion, owner of Molly MaloneÕ s gift shop in the Village, shared conversations with local residents and visitors who didnÕ t seem taken aback by his beard and hair dyed flourescent green. Nearby, event organizer Linda Duffy watched her daughter shiver. Ò Yeah, itÕ s been cold Ñ but weÕ ve had a good turnout,Ó she said, noting that Saturday was cold too Ñ and windy. Ò ThereÕ s been turnover in the crowd Ñ you can only stand out in the cold so long.Ó

Hundreds, however, turned out for the St. PatrickÕ s Day parade at noon Sunday. The procession featured one pipe band rather than the two that were scheduled. The famed NYS Corrections Emerald Society Pipe Band performed to the delight of the crowd, but the Sons & Daughters of Erin Pipe Band bowed out because they said their instruments might fracture
due to the cold. Frigid weather, however, didnÕ t disrupt the annual keg-tossing competition Ñ in which area resident Greg Powers dethroned reining champion Marty Kelly. But the traditional Ò hurling of the HaggisÓ event was cancelled due to the cold, according to Duffy. Ò It was way too cold for kilts,Ó she said.

School, Timothy has conducted several fundraisers to bankroll research into a cure for RSD and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, both neuropathic autoimmune disorders that cause episodes of nearly unbearable pain. These benefits also raised money to help patients afflicted with the diseases. This March 23 event, organized by friends of the Lucid family, is to help TimothyÕ s parents pay expenses for his travel to out-ofstate medical specialists for treatment, as well as medical bills that are not fully covered by other sources. The event was originally planned to be held at Dynamite Hill but has been moved to the Horicon firehouse to accommodate more people.

Affordable? Health Care Act
B
ig changes are coming to health care in 2014. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will soon affect all of us. Signed into law by President Obama on March 23, 2010, the ActÕ s open enrollment ends on March 31. The Supreme Court controversially upheld the law on June 28, 2012. Much of the population feels that the law is unconstitutional. Can the government really force people to buy health care? Apparently, yes. One might think that health care is universally important to everyone, but thatÕ s not always the case. Many young, healthy individuals donÕ t believe itÕ s necessary because they are, in fact, in good health. For them, the cost can outweigh the benefits. One trip to an emergency room, even for something minor, may change their opinion. Today the average emergency room visit costs more than $1,200 Ñ 40 percent more than the average monthÕ s rent in the nation. A doctor’s visit is only a fraction of that cost but getting into a doctor’s office in a timely manner is rare. Although the country is still divided on Obamacare, the increase in enrollment continues due to an enrollment deadline and fine of the higher amount of $95 per adult per year, or one percent of your taxable income, for not signing up by March 31. There are exemptions to this policy, but the law was designed to force young, healthy people to buy insurance. Obamacare has made some important movements toward an improvement in AmericaÕ s health care. Allowing individuals to stay on their parentÕ s insurance until theyÕ re 26 has been a huge advantage to young people considering the current state of the economy. A major part of the story is that Obamacare will allow people to get health care outside of the workplace. All Americans will benefit from the new rights and protections, like guaranteed coverage of pre-existing conditions and the elimination of gender discrimination. However, the positive steps making health care more successful have also been marred by missteps and false promises. One of the key promises the president made that would allow individuals to keep their current policies if they were satisfied with them was pulled out, only to have it put back in place for a temporary two-year period as a political ploy to aid Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections. The U.S. government recently announced that 4.2 million Americans have enrolled in private health care plans since Oct. 1 under the new law. Even if a flood of Americans sign up over the next month, that number is unlikely to reach seven million, which was the original estimate for how many people would get insurance during the first year of Obamacare. Of that number, itÕ s unknown as to how many of those people are newly-insured or were already insured. Two percent of firms in the U.S. have more than 50 full-time employees and will have to choose to insure full-time workers or pay a fine. To avoid this, some businesses are cutting employees, further weakening the economy. The Congressional Budget Office alleges the law will cut full-time employment by 2 million people, although a percentage of this loss is likely to be from individuals walking away from the job they had simply to get insurance in the first place. An argument made from both sides was that the law is a hand-out to insurance companies. Companies that already get fat on residents of this nation. Health insurance companies stand to make billions, despite a loss on profit per plan, since they will be insuring millions of new Americans. That said, the new law does require insurance companies to spend at least 80 percent of premiums on healthcare and less than 20 percent on advertising, overhead, and CEO salaries or provide customer rebates. Unfortunately, thereÕ s no crystal ball to perfectly predict the long-term impact of Obamacare. Although many reforms are needed for this law, it seems the most important one should be to make it less expensive and less burdensome to obtain insurance for those who donÕ t qualify for subsidies. Allowing broader plan design, lower actuarial values, and fewer minimum benefits is a good place to start. Sadly, the majority of this law focuses on making sure people are covered instead of addressing the cost of care in the first place. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board

Turning Back the Pages By Jean Hadden
•100 years ago — March 1914• Lingering death from saloon fight
John Joseph Kelleher, 35, who five years ago was wounded in the shoulder by a bullet from a revolver in the hands of Beecher Faber at the time he shot up the Ryan saloon in the west end and fatally injured Maude Ryan, died March 7, 1914 at his home in Glens Falls and his early demise is believed to have been indirectly due to the bullet which was never removed from his shoulder. Faber was twice placed on trial for killing the Ryan woman, the jury disagreeing the first time and the prisoner entering a plea of guilty of murder in the second degree in the second trial. Faber is now serving a sentence of twenty years in Dannemora prison. John Kelleher is survived by one sister, Miss Anna Kelleher.
Preparing for war
All Warrensburgh people who are interested in WomenÕ s Suffrage, either for or against it, are invited to attend a meeting at the Grand Army House on April 3, 1914 at 3 oÕ clock to be conducted by Mrs. Susan Bain of Glens Falls, who is the suffrage leader in Warren County and Mrs. Hodgson, Vice President of the Political Equality Club of Glens Falls. It is hoped that a large number of people will respond to this invitation and that an organization may be started here. Warrensburgh women have not up to this time shown much activity in the struggle of their sex to secure the right to vote, but it is believed that once their interest is aroused they will go into the fight with the vigor which characterizes their efforts in any good cause they espouse. At any rate they should give the Glens Falls ladies a hearing. (Note: The Grand Army House was where George HenryÕ s Tavern is now located. WomenÕ s Suffrage, the right of women to vote, was first proposed in the U.S. in 1848 and was a hotly contested battle. It was not until 1928 that women received full equal voting rights.)
Immodest lady sent home
At Brussels, on March 13, 1914, Albert, King of the Belgians, on seeing a woman at a court ball wearing a slit skirt, whispered to the court marshal who thereupon offered his arm to the lady in the most cordial manner and escorted her from the ballroom. When they arrived outside the court marshal said, Ò His majesty noticed that your gown was torn on one side and asked me to escort you to your carriage, so you can go home and get the skirt repaired.Ó
Sale of the century
Local hunters and trappers have been interested to read about the recent London fur sale. About 420,000 skunk skins were disposed of March 19, 1914 at the opening of the March fur sale of C.M. Lampson & Co., in London. Because of the great size of the offerings and the lack of spirited buying, prices showed a decline of 27 and a half per cent from the prices obtained at the March sale in 1913. (Note: Now we know why the Adirondacks are not overrun by skunks. At this same time, FrearÕ s store in Troy had on sale menÕ s coats made of dog fur for $13.90 each.)
Tame deer amuses local citizens
North River has a lame deer, a good sized doe that is a great pet with the natives and an object of curiosity to visitors. The animal was captured when a fawn and has grown up with the children of the village. It roams about the place at will and sometimes makes a nuisance of itself by entering houses when a door is left open and helping itself to any eatables in reach. It can often be seen playing with the dogs of the village, but if a strange canine shows up it immediately prepares for battle and drives the intruder away.
Thurman correspondent sounds off
Ò I donÕ t particularly object to hogs if they walk around on four feet, but I donÕ t like the kind that have only two legs. There is one of this breed in North Thurman who shows his mean spirit especially by his actions on the road. He drives a heavy team and always keeps in the road, making all who meet him turn out. The other day he met a neighbor who was driving a light team drawing a heavy load of grain and refused to give him an inch of the road, making him turn out in the deep snow to get by. The very next time this happens, I will mention his name in this column.Ó -- (exerpt from the Thurman column in a March 1914 issue of The Warrensburgh News.)
Hazardous spring driving
Mrs. C.A. West of Minerva, while out driving, March 4, 1914, with her little daughter and Mrs. W.H. Lorimer, was run into by a freight team whose driver was intoxicated. The teams were walking slowly along the road and failed to turn out when meeting Mrs. WestÕ s cutter, which had turned out as far as the drifted condition of the roads would allow. The cutter was demolished, but fortunately Mrs. Lorimer stopped the team before anyone was hurt.
Deaths in the news
Mrs. Mary Combs Daggett, 82, of North Thurman, died Saturday afternoon, Feb. 28, 1914. Internment will be in the Johnson Cemetery. Arthur W. Lanfear, 69, died on March 3, 1914 at West Bolton. He leaves two daughters and two sons. He made his home with Melvin Lanfear, one of his sons. Internment will be in the Warrensburgh Cemetery. Joseph Crawford, 72, of Glens Falls, died Tuesday afternoon at the home of his stepson, Gardner Harrington on the River Road near the Warrensburgh County Home, where he had been staying for about a month.
Modern music reproduction, circa 1914
There is nothing like the luxury of having a Victrola for entertainment, no matter where, the living room, piazza, or the camp, good music always pleases. J.A. Woodward, funeral director and embalmer, in the Aldrich-McGann block, Warrensburgh, has them for sale from $15 for the basic and up to $50 for the deluxe. (Note: I am reminded of the magical hours I spent in my grandmotherÕ s attic, listening to the spellbinding Italian operatic tenor voice of Enrico Caruso, the greatest of all singers, on her machine.)
Two more in the Ford crowd
Louis E. Reoux and Fred Raymond have bought Ford touring
cars from T.J. Lynch, proprietor of the Adirondack Garage. The local automobile club will have many more new members when the season finally opens. (Note: Louis E. Reoux’s home was the present day Senior Citizens home. He died of a heart attack on the evening of Sept. 11, 1938 as he was smoking a cigar on his front porch. Reoux was married to Adelia H. Thomas, granddaughter of merchant Miles Thomas who had the house built in 1873.)
REO Motor Car forges ahead
The REO Motor Car Company of Lansing, Michigan requires six weeks to build one of their fine automobiles. The summer series, known as Ò REO the Fifth,Ó is equipped with a beautiful new style streamlined body, electric dimming search lights, electric starter, electric horn, one-rod control with 35 horsepower and also can be purchased as a roadster. The price is $1,175. That is Mr. OldsÕ way of building cars after 27 years. The Reo is sold by a thousand dealers. (Note: REO Motorcar was founded in 1904 by Ransom E. Olds, who had launched the Olds Motor Works in 1897, which was the original firm that produced Olsmobiles. The rock band REO Speedwagon was named after REOÕ s utility truck which was introduced in 1915.)
News roundabout
SundayÕ s snow storm, March 1, 1914, which was followed by rain during the night, left us with only six inches of snow, but it was very damp and clung to everything it touched. Six inches of snow fell on March 18, 1914 at Bakers Mills. Hay is very low in Chestertown barns. Hoary old winter, on March 25, 1914, began to loosen somewhat his icy grip and Mother Earth is basking in the smiles and caresses of the gentle young spring. The sun shines brightly, the birds sing joyously and long suffering humanity rejoices in the balmy atmosphere of the new season. Who cares if the roads and sidewalks are slushy?
News from area families
A son was born to Mrs. Charles Harrington on March 12, 1914 at Garnet. They call him Clyde. A son was born to Mrs. David Sawyer, March 20, 1914, at Bakers Mills. A son was born on March 22, 1914 to Mrs. Forest Duell at Adirondack. A little daughter has taken up her residence at the Howard Roblee home in Riparius. Stewart Fuller, of West Bolton, fell down cellar recently and sustained injuries which laid him up for several days. John Glassbrook of Stony Creek has recently purchased a fine young team of work horses. A man named Blackmore, who has been working in the lumber woods in Indian Lake this winter has bought Mike GooleyÕ s farm on Beaver Meadow Brook and moved his family there. (Note: Could this be the famous present day Gooley Club? ) James D. Reynolds, of Garnet, has purchased a fine headstone to be placed in North Thurman at the grave of his mother, Mrs. Mary Reynolds, who died in 1880.

Letters to the Editor
Climate change is a reality To the Editor: The February 21 Charles Krauthammer Op-Ed piece, Ò Observing Ô Settled ScienceÕ Ó published in the area daily newspaper adjacent to the Ò NOAA: Temperatures Broke RecordsÓ was a real disappointment to me. When I opened the newspaper, I began with NOAA’s scientific article and read the data telling us the earth has had nearly 30 years of above-average monthly temperatures in a row. Ò Good!Ó I thought. Our press is starting to help educate its readers about the facts of climate change. Then I get to KrauthammerÕ s piece which attempts to poke holes in climate science, suggesting that scientists get brainwashed into climate-science ideologies after sitting in front of computer screens for ten years. ThereÕ s other hogwash in the article, but the real sadness is that The Post-Star would allow real science, urgent science, to be whitewashed by a journalistÕ s opinion. IÕ ll go with the 98 percent of the worldÕ s scientists who blame our changing climate on humans, and IÕ m hoping The Post Star will do the same. Climate Change is a complex topic compounded by the sad reality that this beautiful planet Earth we know and love is being changed before our eyes. We read daily about extreme weather, drought, flooding, rising sea level, disappearance of the arctic ice cap, crop failure, etc, and most of us know deep down humans are the source of these changes. Frankly, the prognosis for our planet is bleak, and to help correct or minimize the damage, we must encourage the media to not allow the science of climate change to be compromised by opinion pieces of misinformed, scientifically illiterate writers. Too much is at stake to do otherwise. Stephen Danna Warrensburg
Playing on fears, national media pushes gun control To the Editor: I am writing about a letter to the editor in response to a guest editorial in the Adirondack Journal, Ò Op-Ed Off the Mark,Ó about the Newtown Connecticut shooting being a rare Ò outlierÓ
event Ñ and the issue of gun control. When we form opinions we have to be cognizant of the national mediaÕ s (primarily televisionÕ s) agenda. All media are corporations and do not look out for our best interests. And, they donÕ t speak the truth. They are very powerful force and use horrific situations to promote political or other agendas to push forward acts, laws and actions they support. The media plays on peopleÕ s fears. Take the Newtown shooting. We react, Ò I donÕ t want that to happen to my relatives, so we need to do whatever it takes.Ó But when we really think about it, one doesnÕ t need an automatic rifle to commit mass murder. WouldnÕ t it make more sense to bolster school security and keep all guns and weapons out of the hands of individuals who are mentally unstable, as well as those on psychiatric prescriptions? But the media dwells on the event, playing it over and over, 24 hours per day, so much so that we donÕ t have time to really think about it or the fear it generates. In fact, this gun restriction law in New York State was passed so fast in reaction to the Newtown shootings that we didnÕ t have time to stop, think and reason. This law was passed very quickly by a government that canÕ t even agree on a budget and pass it on time. So, the next time you turn on your television or read a magazine or national newspaper, ask yourself, Ò What is their agenda?Ó And the next time you agree to a law that affects our Bill of Rights, ask yourself, Ò Is it worth it?Ó Pushing agendas creates fear which puts our U.S. Constitution at risk. The Constitution was given to us by people willing to fight and lose their lives, and many more lives were lost in the Revolutionary War than in the Newtown shooting and others like it combined. The Constitution was written with the knowledge and wisdom about what a tyrannical government can do. We need to respect that. It was written to protect the rights of individuals including the Second Amendment and protect the rights to the states against a central government that grows too strong. DonÕ t let your fear accept the mediaÕ s agenda. Keep the Constitution as the most important agenda, because the Revolution was definitely not an “outlier event.” Incidentally, I do not own a gun, and hope I will never have to. William Christopher, Warrensburg
Bill Orluk will be missed To the Editor: It was such a great loss when Bill Orluk left the Chestertown Health Center. A loss for people of the area, but especially a loss for me. I have a fear of needles, and he could give me a shot before you could even think of saying Ò Ouch!Ó He could diagnose your problems and prescribe a cure with an assuring smile. There are a lot of us who deeply miss this most compassionate man. Elizabeth Hadee Chestertown
Red Cross invites local citizens to become ‘Everyday Heroes’ To the Editor: Throughout the nation, March is Red Cross Month. During this time, we like to recognize our Everyday Heroes who reach out to help their neighbors when they are in need. These heroes are our volunteers who help disaster victims get on the road to recovery. They give blood to help someone in the hospital. They brighten the day of an injured service member in a hospital far from home. They take our classes and step forward to help someone having a heart attack or to save a drowning child. March is also a great time to become part of the Red Cross. ItÕ s easy. Household members can work together on a preparedness plan. People can sign up to take a class or volunteer their time. They can give blood or make a financial donation. Here at the Adirondack Saratoga Chapter, we responded to 70 local emergencies, assisted 176 military families and trained over 6,240 people in lifesaving skills in 2013. And people from the agencyÕ s Northeastern New York region donated almost 78,000 units of blood. Red Cross Month is observed in dedication of everyone who supports our mission. We are grateful to people for their generosity which enables us to continue our work, and encourage everyone to become an Everyday Hero during Red Cross Month by helping their neighbors. Gary Ferris Executive Director, Adirondack-Saratoga Chapter American Red Cross

NW youth to present musical
CHESTERTOWN Ñ 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 Ñ portrayed by 8th grader Brooke French Ñ 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-APalooza 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 Ñ portrayed by 8th grader Jared Maxwell Ñ 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, according to North Warren Drama Coach Kim Sabo, who is co-directing the musical along with North Warren Elementary Music Instructor Maria Swartz. Admission is free to the musical. Donations for refreshments at the show go to offset expenses of the cast party.

and conflicts of interest, as well as hold hearings on the incidences — and report findings to county officials. The Ethics Board would also review and monitor financial disclosure statements, which are now required of all public officials, members of boards, county department managers, agency officials and county employees with consequential decision-making power. The Ethics Board would annually compile a list of people who would need to file such statements, and monitor compliance with the law. Members of the Ethics Board could only be citizens considered independent of the Board of Supervisors, prohibiting any officer of a political party and all public officials from serving on the panel. Also, Ethics Board members would be barred from making political contributions to public officials, and the majority of the members of the board could not represent one political party. The board members, however, would be appointed by the county Board of Supervisors. The proposed Code of Ethics bars county employees from accepting gifts, or exerting influence on others for financial benefit.

The code also mandates that all county employees and officials refrain from any personal, private, financial, business or political activities that might undermine the public’s confidence in government, nor use their position for private gain Ñ nor even give anyone that impression. The code also features provisions that prohibit nepotism. No person is to be employed in any county post if the employee would be under the supervision of a relative, directly or indirectly. Violators of the Code of Ethics could be fined up to $1,000 in addition to other penalties imposed, including a civil forfeiture of a sum up to three times the value of the benefit improperly gained due to the violation. The proposed local law also calls for the termination of any officer or employee who is convicted of a Class A Misdemeanor in connection with violating the Code of Ethics. Also, violators would be liable to the government for any losses or increased costs to the county as a result of the violation. This new code, 28 pages long, replaces one that was established in 1990 that is less than six pages in length. Auffredou and others said a considerable amount of work was expended on developing the draft law. Ò This new code would do a much better job of clarifying what’s a conflict of interest or not, what needs to be done with complaints -- and if there is a violation, what the consequences are,Ó Auffredou said. He added that the draft law was modeled after the Ethics Code of Essex County and other counties in New York State. County Board of Supervisors Clerk Joan Sady said this week

that she did not recall any formal ethics complaints during her 11 years of service in the county Board of Supervisor’s office. Citizen activists including John Salvadore years ago had lobbied for a Board of Ethics to be established. This week, he applauded the fact that county officials were seeking to enact a new expanded code and establish an an Ethics Board. Board of Supervisors Chairman Kevin Geraghty said that when he became Chairman of the Board of Supervisors in January 2013, he prioritized creating a Board of Ethics and revamping the Ethics Code, and then he and Dusek pursued these objectives. Ò Revising the code and creating an Ethics Board was a priority for years, but it was Ô back-burnered,Õ he said, noting the other challenges the county had been facing at the time. County Administrator Paul Dusek said that merely one situation regarding the code of ethics was referred to county officials since 1990. It was well more than a decade ago when a county supervisor inquired about whether his son could apply for a loan through the county Local Development Corporation, he said. Dusek continued that the new law is much more detailed, describing in detail conduct thatÕ s allowed, and whatÕ s not. Ò The new law details many things that were formerly subject to interpretation,Ó he said. Ò There are a lot of gray areas in the old code.Ó Dusek added the new code is based on the stateÕ s model ethics code. “The goal is to bolster the confidence of Warren County citizens have in their government,Ó he said.

ers who are the working poor. ThatÕ s an issue that needs to be resolved and single-payer healthcare is an issue that needs to be taken to Washington.Ó
Ò Or they promise that they can self-fund a multi-million dollar Ô race,Õ Ó he said. The answer, he said, is to give the public an alternative. Funiciello, speaking eruditely like someone who has grown accustomed to hatching their ideas in complete sentences, said he thinks itÕ s important to have a multi-party system and that heÕ s not necessarily for the Green Party and everything it stands for, but rather against the Republican and Democratic parties who he says donÕ t have the best interests of the working class in mind. Ò I ask all my friends who are Democrats to name one proworker piece of legislation that has come out of Democratic control of congress in their lifetime and theyÕ re hard-pressed to give me even one example,Ó he said. Ò I canÕ t in good conscience run as a member of a party that doesnÕ t work for those of us who work for a living. We need a voice.Ó Funiciello, 46, who has owned and operated the Rock Hill Bakehouse in Glens Falls for the past 25 years, sees himself as a regular worker: Ò I rent my apartment, donÕ t live a life off the back of my workers -- we all work and all suffer together.Ó
JOBS, MILITARY To bring work to the job-strapped North Country, Funiciello said heÕ d follow frequent Green Party candidate Howie HawkinsÕ Ò Green JobsÓ proposal that would call for the state government to increase public spending to hire private contractors to meet public needs for sustainable green infrastructure, mass transit, water and sewer systems, renewable energy and green building retrofits. Hawkins, who ran for Governor in 2010, had previously said the only way to get the private economy moving would be to democratize the allocation of investment, namely through the creation of a state-owned bank that would target investment into new technologies and businesses of a sustainable green economy. Ò Fiber opticsÕ jobs that take advantage of solar and wind resources, for example, can be created here,Ó said Funiciello. Ò We can bring money back to the district and subsidize [these jobs] so when a small business comes forward and says Ô we can do thatÕ , they can get the contract.Ó Funiciello said the country has Ò grown fat,Ó on the number of manufacturing contracts that are unnecessarily expensive, citing a recent article he read in the Economist about something called a Razor, an experimental drone designed by the MITRE Corporation and the University of Virginia, that is created on the cheap by 3D printers and is controlled by an Android smartphone loaded with free apps. “Those fill the same niche as B52’s,” he said. “We can be doing all the same spying, if we chose to do so, utilizing this technology.
From page 1
HEALTH CARE Ò IÕ m not content that we have to pay to build hospitals, but weÕ re denied access to the health care provided there,Ó said Funiciello. Ò The ACA is a brutal extension of that, the requirement to purchase insanely unaffordable insurance. WeÕ re still work-
Woolf
From page 1 band and cell towers everywhere.Ó What really impressed Woolf, he said, was the economic diversity of the region. He cited small-scale manufacturing operations across the district, bedroom communities in Glens Falls, military facilities in Jefferson County and agriculture in the Essex County and Champlain Valley regions. WoolfÕ s concern visiting all these businesses was the same: jobs, an issue that he frequently revisited in the half-hour discussion and one he hopes will change the narrative of his campaign. Ò How are we going to keep young people in the district and grow jobs?Ó he said. Ò Everything else pales to that.Ó Woolf said if the North Country doesnÕ t have access to welltrained and highly skilled workers, it will be impossible to compete with other regions and young people will continue to leave to find work elsewhere. Educational infrastructure plays a big role, he said. Ò Ninety-six percent of kids between the ages of 0-3 who live below the poverty line are not seeing social workers. That has incredible payoff for their outcomes and there has to be an emphasis on that,Ó he said. Ò We need to discuss how weÕ re going to lay
the groundwork of the next chapter of North Country economy.Ó Asked about outgoing Rep. Bill OwenÕ s assertion in a town hall last month about the Ò 2,500 to 3,000Ó jobs in the region that are going unfilled due to a lack of trained professionals, Woolf cited visits to biofuel, agricultural and forestry centers, calling them Ò promising job areas weÕ re so proud of,Ó and noting that the districtÕ s traditional economic strengths are being repurposed, citing a medical device facility in Warren County and ambitious young farmers in Essex County and Champlain Valley to produce value-added products. Woolf said the regionÕ s agricultural community has different needs and infrastructure and he will focus on exploring options to create Ò win-win-winÓ situations, like a farm-to-school push. Ò WeÕ ve got to bring healthy and fresh food to these kids,Ó he said, citing nutrition plays a large role in attention spans and thriving in school. Woolf said farmers went dependability and money generated would be kept in the community Ñ Ò not sent to Indiana for frozen chicken fingers.” MILITARY, HEALTH CARE When asked about the most meaningful visit with a voter so far, Woolf has it was hard to single one out. Ò Everybody has a story and every one of them is important.
March 22, 2014 Ò What are we worried about?Ó he asked. Ò ItÕ s this living in fear that causes to spend more on our military than all other countries combined.Ó The candidate said while he believes in strong defense, he feels the United States does not need to intervene in other countriesÕ affairs in the pursuit of oil and natural gas. Ò We have other options that donÕ t involve hurting people, including our soldiers.Ó GUNS, POLICE MILITARIZATION Funciello said while heÕ s Ò not going to pander to gun owners,Ó he feels people outside of the district donÕ t understand that hunting feeds people here. Ò When I was younger, I loved to hunt and had guns, a .22 and 22-gauge shotgun, like most country boys do Ñ I love the meat.Ó Citing the ethical issues swirling around a recent incident in Glens Falls in which a local man was hauled off by five armed officers for allegedly violating an order of protection and the skyrocketing, Ò no-knock,Ó police raids across the country, Funciello said he was worried about the militarization of municipal police forces that has been escalating since the Clinton era. Ò For a city of only 14,000 people, that seems like overkill,Ó he said, referring to Glens Falls. Ò We starting to treat them like a branch of military and theyÕ re not.Ó Funiciello said many say the country is headed for tyranny: Ò I think a well-armed populace is a warning,Ó he said. Ò We need to make sure government is at least wary of us as a population Ñ we have the right to bear arms beyond venison.Ó
To read this article in its entirety, go to www.denpubs.com Most stories you hear about government or a positive and negative one Ñ I hope I can add to the positive.Ó While he still needs learn more about the ongoing North Country Redesign Commission that will decide the fate of health care in the region, Woolf said health care was an important concern, citing he was Ò deeply impressedÓ with the Samaritan Hospital in Watertown and the facilityÕ s cutting-edge technology and integration with the military through its relationship with nearby Fort Drum. Woolf, citing his father’s veteran status, would “fight” for Fort Drum to stay open as Defense Secretary Chuck HagelÕ s proposal to reduce forces continue to ripple throughout the country. Referring back to the importance of community integration and sustainability, Woolf said he had fond memories of emulating the 10th Mountain Division as a kid. Ò They were the cool guys,Ó he said. Woolf said the 10th Mountain Division is the type of rapidresponse military the country is trending toward. Elise Stefanik, Matt Doheny and Joe Gilbert will face off in the Republican primary scheduled for June 24.
