QUEENSBURY -- As Warren County leaders announced terms of an agreement to sell the countyowned Westmount nursing home for $2.3 million to a private firm, some of the details revealed sparked controversy.
The terms were made public April 3 during an informational hearing held by the county Board of Supervisors on the finances of the nursing home’s cogeneration plant. The 80-bed home in Queensbury, which provides care for elderly regardless of income or personal resources, would be sold to Specialty Care Group of
New York City, along with about eight acres of land surrounding the home. This firm has already bought nursing homes in neighboring Washington County and Essex County. A county-owned parcel of land totaling 23 acres would not be included in the sale. CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

WARRENSBURG Ñ Lingering winter weather has caused ballfields in northern Warren County to remain covered in snow, curtailing outdoor practice for area high school ball teams — and downsizing the season’s schedule dramatically. Most baseball and softball teams in the Adirondack League will be playing 11 sanctioned games this season, rather than the 16 that had been scheduled — playing each team in the league once, rather than twice. In addition, the Adirondack League championship will be determined by the best season record rather than a playoff of the top teams. Meanwhile, team practices have been held in gymnasiums rather than outside, with the ballfields covered with up to several feet of snow, area coaches said early this week. Warrensburg High School’s baseball team has perhaps the most dramatic problem with snow. The high school baseball field, located behind the school, is surrounded with tall pine trees which block the sunlight from melting snow

Continued from page 1 during the few warmer days experienced here in the early-spring weeks, Varsity Baseball coach Rex Reynolds said April 6. “We don’t have any real hopes of playing on our baseball field until the third week of May,” he said, noting that even if the snow cover melts soon, there’s bound to be too much mud for practice and games. “There’s snow two feet deep remaining, with ice underneath — and the snow is up to three feet deep in left field.” In the meantime, games — which are now scheduled to start Wednesday April 23 — are to be played on the Junior Varsity field behind Warrensburg Elementary School. Practices have been held inside the high school gym, with a batting cage, and six hitting stations complete with with popup nets and batting tees and a mock infield set up for some throwing and catching drills. The baseball team has also been concentrating on strength and conditioning work, including running up and down stairs and through the hallways of the elementary school. On several of the warmer days, the players have been practicing in the elementary school’s parking lots, catching fly balls and tossing long throws. The back parking lot is large enough for a fullsize infield, he said. To gain access earlier to the game field at the elementary school, Warrensburg baseball players have spent a session or two shovelling snow off the field. They’ve shoveled holes several feet wide down to the turf, and these spots absorb the sunlight and re-radiate heat into the snow cover to speed up the snow-melting process, Reynolds said. “We expect that our team’s shoveling gets us onto the field a week to 10 days earlier,” he said. “The players do this as

an annual ritual, and the kids look forward to it.” Reynolds noted that his team is working hard in practice to make up for the talented players lost to graduation in 2013, and the absence of veteran catcher Nick Perrone, who had to quit because of a torn ACL in one of his knees — stemming from a basketball injury earlier this year. “Our team’s prospects are really up in the air because we lost some real offense and tough defense,” Reynolds said. “Hopefully, we’ll be competitive.” About 12 miles north in Chestertown, the North Warren ball players are also dealing with snow-covered ballfields. As of April 4, the baseball field had about 5 inches of snow and a sheet of ice on top of the turf, North Warren baseball coach Josh

ple accompanied by 80,000 dogs. Mead said she intends for the Chestertown Woofstock to be held on a more manageable scale. She said that the sports field at the Chester Municipal Center and the old Pottersville Fairground were both potential sites for the event. Already, Chestertown hosts the annual Halloween Pug Party & Parade, which has drawn hundreds of people to Dynamite Hill for 15 years. Mead said that Woofstock wouldn’t conflict, as it would be held in June, would host different activities, and be open to all breeds. Also, the fest would have a more expansive purpose, celebrating late 1960s and early 1970s culture and music, with a lineup of bands playing classic music, and perhaps include craft-brewed beer as does the Woofstock held in Greenville, S.C. That event bills itself as “A Day of Brews, Bands & Barks.” Mead added that she was lining up a dog diving pool, and was considering inviting celebrity Rachael Ray, a noted dog lover with local roots, to serve as a judge at the event. She added that she expects the Chestertown Woofstock to have a freewheeling, fun atmosphere that appeals to all ages. “Imagine people and dogs at the festival wearing classic tiedye and bandanas, John Lennon sunglasses, and 1960s costumes — It’s hysterical,” she said.

The event would feature contests and activities for dogs as well as their owners, she said, noting that she attended a Woofstock festival in the Florida Keys last year, enjoyed it immensely, and decided it would be an ideal new event for northern Warren County. “It will be a wonderful day of peace, paws and music,” she said, quoting the slogan of the festival in Islamorada, Fla. which has attracted 5,000 people and 1,000 dogs in its third year. She said she was convinced that northern Warren County is an ideal site for a Woofstock fest. “We’re definitely going to do it, and we’re gonna go big with this one, she said, noting she’s already recruited about 10 people to help her plan and organize the fest. Monday, she was preparing letters to mail out to potential vendors across the Northeast for the initial edition of the festival, expected to be held in early summer 2015. “There are Woofstock festivals all over the nation, but none in the entire Northeast U.S.,” Mead said, predicting such a “destination festival” in Chestertown would be quite popular. In Toronto Canada, Woofstock annually attracts 300,000 peo-
Gifford said Sunday. “We’re hoping that with the rain we’re supposed to get later this week, the fields open up a little bit,” he said. Meanwhile, the school’s ball teams have been practicing in the school gym, hitting off a pitching machine in batting cages, as well as throwing the ball around. Gifford noted that North Warren’s baseball team was to have its first game April 9 against Heatly High School on their field near Troy, where snow has been melting far earlier. “Regardless of the snow, and not practicing on our field, we’ll be prepared,” he predicted, adding that the team members have been lifting weights and conditioning with diligence. “Our students have put a lot of hard work into getting ready this season.”

Ministry’s Spring Gala to aid Wbg. Outreach Center’s addition WARRENSBURG Ñ With a building addition nearly complete at its Warrensburg site, North Country Ministry is raising hopes as well as funds during its upcoming Spring Gala. The event, titled “An Evening in Paris,”is set for Friday, May 2 at Hiland Park Country Club in Queensbury. Tickets are available now for the gala. Proceeds of the fundraiser will benefit North Country Ministry’s ongoing services which operate out of locations in North Creek and Warrensburg. With the two-story building addition expected to be completed by mid-May, there will be increased space to accommodate expanded services, according to area philanthropist Dr. James Morrissey, president of the North Country Ministry Board of Directors and chairman of the gala. “This expansion will allow for a full-scale food pantry to meet ever increasing needs,” he said, noting that proceeds of the gala would underwrite the expansion as well as the agency’s ongoing work with families under stress. “It will also allow for expanded baby and toddler programs, as well as much-needed storage for the clothing center.” He observed that the Furniture Barn, which recycles gently used furniture and household goods, currently operates out of the North Creek site, but may be expanded to the Warrensburg location. Funds raised by the gala also support North Country Ministry’s counseling services, advocacy and referral efforts, its emergency assistance provisions, parenting support programs, the Baby’s Place play group, the agency’s infant and toddler car seat program, its affordable

housing program, and The Gathering Place lunch and hospitality offerings. The Spring Gala will include a live auction featuring auctioneer Martin Seelye as well as a silent auction, raffles — and in keeping with the
Parisian theme, a fashion show of clothing from local retailers. Caricature artist John Gurney will provide whimsical entertainment as well. North Country Ministry is an ecumenical organization which provides services to over
1,000 people per month in a service area exceeding 600 square miles, agency Executive Director Jill Harrington said. “We are very excited to have the construction of the new addition nearly complete,” she said. “The organization’s reach has increased dramatically since its inception in 1992. This expansion of space allows us to continue to operate effectively in the face of growing need.” The gala’s live auction features dozens of items including one week’s vacation in a home on Lake George, a Lake Placid getaway, and a kayak. The silent auction includes handmade local wares, tickets to area activities, and gift certificates to local eateries, among donated goods and services. Major underwriters and sponsors for the event include: Stafford Carr & McNally, James and Kay Morrissey, Barton International, Hudson Headwaters Health Network, Cronin’s Golf Resort, Behan Communications, Glens Falls National Bank, Trustco Bank, Community Bank NA, Steve and Sandi Parisi, Gary and Charleen Bivona, Lake George RV Park, Law Office of John B. Pohl, and Edward Jones - Carl Cedrone. Participating in the gala’s clothing presentation are: Milk & Honey and Fountain Square Outfitters of Glens Falls, Starla’s Shoppe in Lake George, and Hudson River Trading Company of North Creek. Reservations are required for “An Evening in Paris” and tickets are $60 per person. The deadline for reservations is Wednesday, April 23.

Gore named one of the best underrated ski resorts on continent
NORTH CREEK — Gore Mountain was hailed this week for its attributes and accommodations by an international skiing website. Gore was ranked second in a list of five “Five Best Under-the-Radar Ski Resorts” in North America by UnofficialNetworks.com. The article stated, “Gore Mountain is a fantastic state-run ski area in the Adirondack mountains of New York. You might hear ‘state run resort’ and think it’s some budget ski area with no desirable amenities such as high-speed quads, gondolas or snowmaking, but you would be dead wrong.” The article continues, “The ski experience is on par with any of the high-price ski resorts in the east. Recent terrain expansions have opened up vast amounts of prime east coast glades making this gem shine even brighter.” Gore is the only East Coast resort on the list, which also included Red Mountain in Canada; Bridger Bowl, Montana; Mt. Rose, Nevada; and Schweitzer Mountain, Idaho. Located in North Creek, Gore is operated by the state Olympic Regional Development Authority. ORDA Publicist John Lundin said April 7 he was very pleased about the recognition for Gore, which he said was well-deserved. “This is great notoriety for Gore,” he said. “With all its amenities, it’s hard to believe Gore is considered an ‘under the radar resort — it should be at the top of the radar.” With the new Interconnect trails and the
Hudson chairlift joining the North Creek Ski Bowl with the main slopes — as well as the development of new trails between the two venues and on Little Gore, the ski resort has the most terrain for skiing in New York State, Lundin said. “With its glades, trail length and vertical drop, Gore is fantastic for the intermediate skier,” he said, noting that 100 new snow highefficiency guns were installed just months ago primarily on the new Interconnect trails. “And now Gore has outstanding snowmaking capabilities.” Gore Mountain publicist Emily Stanton said that perhaps the only reason Gore was “under the radar” with some skiers is that it didn’t have sprawling commercial development at the mountain’s base like many of the high-profile ski resorts. The lack of development means skiers can enjoy Gore’s natural beauty and unique ambiance, she said. “We’re ecstatic for this recognition — and that we’re the only ski resort in eastern North America to be so honored like this.” For details about Gore Mountain’s new amenities, upcoming events, and season passes, call 251-2411, or see: GoreMountain.com.

Fund for L.G. launches website, ‘Center’
LAKE GEORGE — The Fund for Lake George has launched its new website, fundforlakegeorge.org. The new site is to serve as the internet destination and portal for understanding the current state of Lake George and The Fund’s unprecedented programs to safeguard the the Lake, Fund officials said this week. As described on the new site, this “science to solutions” approach is embodied in The FUND’s declared mission: stopping the present decline of water quality and achieving sustained protection of Lake George, Fund CEO Eric Siy said in a prepared statement. “Our website will provide all who care about the lake with a place to learn and, more important, to act for lasting lake protection while the opportunity still exists to do so,” he said. Accompanying the new website is The FUND’s new “Center for Lake George.” With space for up to 49 people, the Center will be open for meetings of The Fund’s expanding network of part-
ners dedicated to lake health, Fund Chairman Jeff Killeen said. “The Fund is committed to catalyzing and facilitating extensive collaboration,” he said, noting the S.A.V.E. Lake George Partnership as well as the heralded Jefferson Project, a multi-million-dollar project to scientifically analyze the lake’s chemistry, water movement and other factors on a real-time basis — a collaboration of IBM, Rensselaer Polytehnic Institute and The Fund for Lake George. The Center offers a state-of-the-art meeting venue— wireless internet, videoconferencing capabilities, and large format projection. “This is a new day for The Fund and a vital step in our redoubled investment to understand Lake George and ensure its priceless natural wonder lives on,” Killeen added. The Fund will be hosting an opening of the new space soon. For details, or to request use of The Center for Lake George, visit the new website at fundforlakegeorge.org.

Westmount
Continued from page 1 The sale terms call for Specialty Care to undertake most of the expenses of operating the cogeneration plant that provides electricity and heat for the nursing home, and was shown this week to be losing money for the county. Both Warren County and Specialty Care, however, would jointly invest $15,000 to $20,000 to upgrade the cogeneration plant soon after the sale contract is signed, according to the negotiated terms. The sale provision that generated the most controversy at the April 3 meeting was a negotiated stipulation that the county would guarantee state Medicaid reimbursements to Specialty Care, related to the cogeneration operation, that the county has forecast based on prior state policies. If the state did not pay Specialty Care the full $1.26 million of projected Medicaid cogeneration reimbursements supposedly due from 2015 through 2021, Warren County would be obligated to pay any or all of the balance to the private firm.
A number of county supervisors objected to the county assuming this liability. “It troubles me that Warren County guarantees this Medicaid reimbursement,” Glens Falls Ward 2 Supervisor Peter McDevitt said. “I have a real problem guaranteeing a private company future Medicaid payments,” Queensbury at-large Supervisor Doug Beatty said, noting that the state had already not lived up to its pledge of Medicaid payments over the last several years, and owed the county $2.5 million or more through last year. “This is quite a liability.” Queensbury at-large Supervisor Mark Westcott also questioned the county assuming such an obligation. “This is very alarming,” Westcott said in an email he sent out after the meeting, citing that pledging to pay any shortfall in Medicaid reimbursements represented a “substantial risk” for local taxpayers. The terms also call for Specialty Care to guarantee they’d continue operating the nursing home with a full 80 beds for at least five years, continue to accept patients regardless of
Stewart’s funds local PRIDE program
WARRENSBURG — Stewart’s Shops has bestowed a $750 grant to Warrensburg Elementary School’s PRIDE Program, intended to reward behavior that leads to success. “We are excited to again be the recipients of such a generous sum,” school social worker Kate Motsiff said this week about the donations from Stewart’s customers, that were matched dollarfor-dollar by the convenience store chain. The grant is to be used to reward students that demonstrate they are espousing behavior patterns of respect, responsibility, involvement, dedication and the pursuit of excellence. For exhibiting these behavior traits, the Warrensburg Elementary students earn PRIDE tickets which can be redeemed for fun prizes and school supplies. Students can also enter tickets into raffles for more substantial prizes such as gift certificates, gift
ability to pay, and not seek taxexempt status of the nursing home or its property. Also, the terms call for existing nursing home employees to be given priority in working under the new ownership. The sale terms are still tentative, and they are subject to a vote of the full county board of supervisors. Several supervisors objected to the price of the proposed sale. Westcott noted that the sale price of $2.3 million represented $28,750 per bed — but Essex County recently sold their nursing home for $40,500 per bed, and Saratoga sold their nursing home $59,494 per bed. He said that perhaps the proposed sale price of Westmount was too low. Queensbury Supervisor John Strough suggested that the county obtain an independent appraisal of the home, after hearing that none had been conducted. County Administrator Paul Dusek defended the proposal. “We put it out for competitive bid and $2.2 million to $2.3 million appears to be a reasonable price for a facility this size,” he said, citing the factor of economy of scale.

Rheumatology doctor joins HHHN staff
QUEENSBURY — Doctor James Yovanoff, a physician with more than 25 years of practice in the Glens Falls area, has joined the medical staff of Hudson Headwaters Health Network. Dr. Yovanoff’s rheumatology services are now available at Hudson Headwaters’ West Mountain Primary Care office on Carey Road in Queensbury, one mile west of Adirondack Northway Exit 18, HHHN Founder Dr. John Rugge announced this week. “We are extremely pleased to add such an experienced and well-known physician to our staff,” Rugge said.

T
oyota has been through it: lawyers smelling blood in the water, injured consumers, and those going for the gold by signing on to class-action lawsuits. Now it’s General Motors’ turn. Thousands of G.M. vehicles are part of the current faulty ignition-switch recall, another auto company scandal and shakedown, er, problem (witness Toyota and its “unintended acceleration” woes). Last week, a U.S. judge in Texas decided to “go slow” after lawyers and families of victims called for a corporate lynching. They want General Motors to ground 2.53 million cars due to the defective ignition. So, how do 2.53 million drivers get around without their cars? It’s an immense problem that no consumer lawyer, or even a federal judge, can get their hands around. In fact, the problem might cause its own spin off of lawsuits (to which many in our area will be happy to sign on to). G.M. is one of only two remaining U.S.owned auto companies. Chrysler, like it or not, is really a foreign car company now being owned by the Italians thanks to Uncle Sam giving away that farm to foreigners just after the U.S. taxpayer bailed it out. And, ironically, as a new, leaner, meaner G.M., under Mary Barra’s leadership, was emerging from its predecessor’s bankrupt Government Motors bailout image, the old G.M. made a creepy reappearance, much like actor Jack Nicholson’s weird movie character in “The Shining”. Toyota’s scandal and subsequent $1.2 billion shakedown by the DOJ—due to the controversial unintended acceleration debacle—was in the big news just as the G.M. problem moved up in the headlines to remind us that it’s always open season on big business. But in fairness to the Detroit boys and girls—hey, if Toyota vehicles weren’t grounded over the acceleration problem (which had casualties, too) why should G.M.’s vehicles be grounded? With millions of these G.M vehicles already over the 100,000-mile mark on the odometer, why the sudden urgency to ground fleets of the cars?

Many G.M. cars have well over 100,000 miles and; so far, no ignition-failure problem. Are the ignition failures in vehicles with over 100,000 miles or under? (We don’t seem to know.) No matter, why should we stop driving our car based on a few accidents (and deaths)? We are told that there’s a problem with the airbag power. Well, what we don’t hear in the news reports is the fact that G.M. passenger airbags (the bags in question of failure) have a backup power source; part of engineering-in safety in-depth. So, we must agree with G.M. attorney David Balser. He told the Texas judge hearing the case that grounding 2.53 million cars would be “unprecedented” and “cause chaos.” How about the math: 31 crashes and 12 deaths since 2001 out of 2.53 million vehicles; not something for G.M. to be proud of, yet it doesn’t take an Alan Turing to notice that 31 events out of 2.53 million in 13 years is, well, not something requiring the grounding of an entire fleet. An observation: If there is a bona fide catastrophic flaw running through every single ignition switch installed in 2.53 million cars, wouldn’t there be a far higher number of crashes and deaths that we’d be hearing about?. How are other G.M. drivers reacting to all this? There is a Facebook-based group of recreational Chevrolet HHR owners. Members are still cruising around and enjoying their fun, spiffy retro-styled cars. Sure, the news is unsettling, but remember that so much of what we hear in the media is composed of equal parts of hype and hysteria. Spurned owners aside, when there are DOJ and other lawyers sniffing the water for corporate blood... Need I say more? Will G.M. end up exactly like Toyota—a oneway trip to Shakedown City. Will it be forced to pay out for a problem that, at least statistically, doesn’t appear as catastrophic as first reported by the news media and the attorneys of victims and consumer groups.

Turning Back the Pages By Jean Hadden
•100 years ago — April 1914• Town mourns beloved citizen
“Joe Woodward is dead,” was the shocking news received with disbelief and grief by Warrensburgh people the morning of April 14, 1914 — in their homes, on the streets, as words were passed one to another. There was no one in the town more in the public eye than Joseph Woodward. For 25 years, in his profession as a licensed under-taker and embalmer, he had buried the dead from many homes here, performing his sad duties with a sympathy which never failed and a delicacy which lightened the burden of grief or sorrow stricken hearts. That he himself must go the way of all flesh and be born to the cold and dismal ground, caused a feeling of desolation among his vast host of friends and acquaintances. Mr. Woodward was ill for less than a week. While working in front of his furniture store he was suddenly seized with a severe attack of acute indigestion and even with Dr. Goodman’s care, it was all downhill after that. Joe Woodward was born in Warrensburgh on May 2, 1861, a son of Leander and Susan Brannack Woodward. He married Mary West in 1888 and she survives him along with his mother and two brothers, Fred H. and Berry Woodward. In 1889 the deceased bought the furniture and undertaking business of Fred W. Herrick, than located in the Pasko block. When the new Music Hall building was erected, he leased and had since occupied one of the most capacious stores on the block, where he built up a highly prosperous business. The funeral was held April 16, 1914 at the Church of the Holy Cross with the Rev. Guy Harte Purdy officiating among many beautiful floral tributes. Charles E. Bullard of Glens Falls was undertaker. Charles F. Burhans, Charles A. McElroy, John J. Archer and Harry Cunningham were the pallbearers. (Note: The Josiah Woodward family came to Warrensburgh in 1787 from Connecticut and were the seventh family to settle here in this section of the country north of Lake George. The family grew and prospered and the last two members of the family I can remember who lived in this area were the late Kathryn Maltbie, daughter of Archibald Woodward and the late David Haskell of Stony Creek, son of Ella Woodward. Joseph A. Woodward was named for his grandfather, Judge Joseph Woodward who was supervisor in 1845 here. Woodward was the most respected undertaker of his time but after he was gone came Cass McCloskey, Maynard Baker and John Alexander who have left their own fine imprint on the town. The Pasko block was just south of today’s bandstand. The Music Hall was north across Adirondack Avenue from today’s Rite Aid pharmacy.)
Visitor from afar
Charles B. Palmer of Poughkeepsie, a former Warrensburgh boy, was in town recently to attend the funeral of Joseph A. Woodward. Mr. Palmer began his business career as a clerk in the Emerson Bank here and is now president of the Dutchess Manufacturing Co. of Poughkeepsie, one of the leading concerns in the county manufacturing trousers.
Head-on collision
A head-on collision between a freight train and an engine drawing the D. & H. pay car occurred April 9, 1914 on the Lake George–Glens Falls railway branch, at a point near the Washington County fair grounds. Several people on the train were badly cut and bruised and were taken to Glens Falls Hospital, but none, including the crew, were seriously injured. The accident happened when the trains were rounding a curve and both engines were badly wrecked.
News from abroad
Mrs. T. Roche-Rearden, formerly Miss Henrietta Cramer, daughter of LeGrand C. Cramer of Troy, was granted a divorce April 8, 1914 in Paris in a divorce from her husband, Capt. RocheRearden, a British army officer and friend of Lord Decies, who recently married Vivian Gould. The couple was married in 1911. Mr. and Mrs. Cramer have for many years maintained a summer home, Trinity Rock, on the Bolton Road, about three miles from Lake George Village. (Note: LeGrand Cramer was the rich son of George H. Cramer of Troy, who was at one time the president of the Rensselaer & Saratoga Railroad before it became the Delaware & Hudson. The lovely grounds of Trinity Rock, located on Cramer Point, were tended by 22 gardeners and LeGrand Cramer took a serious role in the social life of the summer colony.)
Tough justice
Dr. John Breen of Schroon Lake was one of the 20 witnesses who were present April 13, 1914 at the electrocution of “Dago Frank” Cirofici at Sing- Sing Prison. There were a separate lot of witnesses for each of the four gunman put to death, therefore Dr. Breen saw only one execution, although he attended the autopsy of all four. Cirofici was a New York City criminal, who was among two men responsible for the July 16, 1912 murder of gambler Herman Rosenthal.
Former Thurman official dies
Duncan Everts, 74, died at his home in Thurman April 21, 1914, after a long illness of Bright’s disease. A life long resident of Thurman, he was one of the most prominent men of the town and served several terms as Town Supervisor and also as Justice of the Peace. During the Civil War he served three years in the Union Army and lost a leg. A son, William G. Everts and three daughters survive him. He was buried in the Warrensburgh Cemetery. James F. Pendell, 85, a lifelong resident of Thurman, died at his home in Athol after a long period of ill health. He leaves a widow, who does not live with him and one daughter, Mrs. William Ingraham of Thurman. An adopted son was his only companion at home. The deceased had been totally deaf since childhood. Though he enjoyed few advantages he acquired considerable education and was a writer of no mean ability. Years ago, he was a frequent contributor to the Warrensburgh News and several of his poems were published in these columns over the pseudonym of Xavier.
Sen. Emerson’s bill funds fish hatchery
Reappropriating $20,000 for a fish hatchery at Warrensburgh passed both houses at a recent session of the state legislature. This was one of many bills introduced by Senator James A. Emerson to bring prosperity to our region.
In other news, Mrs. James A. Emerson arrived home, April 1, 1914 from the Samaritan Hospital in Troy, where three weeks ago she underwent a serious operation performed with rare skill by the famous surgeon, Dr. J.B. Harvie of that city. She was brought home from Troy by Sen. Emerson in a special trolley car on the Hudson Valley Railway and she was much fatigued.
Under the hammer
The Taylor House property at Schroon Lake, consisting of a hotel building and 15 cottages, one mile of lakefront and a large tract of woodland, situated six miles south of Schroon Lake, will be sold at public auction, May 7, 1914, at the Rockwell House, Glens Falls. The property was once one of the most popular summer resorts in the Adirondacks and it is hoped that the glory days will come again. Edward Harrigan, the famous actor, summered there for many years. The buildings are in need of repair.
News roundabout
The snow has nearly all disappeared from the hillsides and the grass is beginning to look quite green already. In Connecticut there are “Blue Laws” on the books that state “no one shall travel, cook victuals, make beds, sweep houses, cut hair or shave on Sabbath day.” The law also states that “married persons must live together or be imprisoned.” Prof. John B. Chilson, principal of the Warrensburgh School, has separated himself from a fine black moustache which he shaved off recently. Brand new model T Ford touring cars are on sale this week for $550 at the auto sales of T.J. Lynch, Warrensburgh. G.W. Dickinson and C.L. Pasco have each bought a new Buick automobile from Miller Brothers Garage in Glens Falls and traded in their old vehicles. B.J. Smith of Riparius, has traded a four-horse Gray engine with H.C. Culver for a three horse power Oldsmobile. Charles N. Baker of Wevertown has sold his light driving team and purchased a pair of heavy draft horses from Higgins & Barber of Hudson Falls. Thomas and Catherine Tevlin McKenna have a lovely little three-year-old daughter, Mary McKenna, born in Brooklyn. (Note: Mary Murphy, 102, the widow of John Murphy, died Oct. 25, 2013 in Warrensburg.) It was just one year ago, April 25, 1913, that Patrick Holleran, working with a river crew to break up a log jam in the Schroon River, slipped from a log and fell into water ten feet deep. After going down twice, his companions managed to save the terrified man from a watery grave. He says that every day he gives thanks for being alive. In North Caldwell, B.C. Putney has moved back on his farm. William Somerville has moved into J.F. Hill’s house opposite the school house. Philip Mead, who froze both feet in the big storm in February and who was taken to Glens Falls Hospital for treatment, has had all the toes amputated from one foot and several from the other. George Wiley of Glens Falls will give instruction all the new dances at Music Hall, including the one-step and the maxixe, also known as the Brazilian tango. His prices are reasonable.

Letters to the Editor
Best editorial ever
Seek NY opinion on pipeline
To the Adirondack Journal: Opinions, freedom, rights and wrongs - This editorial is the best editorial I have ever read and and should be featured on the front page of every newspaper, magazine, television, radio and other major media outlets instead of tucked away in a tiny Northwoods publication. I can hardly believe that anyone would even publish it! I just want to add a few truths that the media talking heads have propagandized to the point that it just disgusts me personally to even consider myself an American. Concerning the ACA, no matter how the politicians, media “spin doctors,” talk show “personalities” and other paid propagandists spin it, the truth is that universal health care in the U.S. is long overdue. There’s no need to discuss this any further. Regarding unchecked population growth, no matter how the media “spin doctors,” talk show “personalities” and other paid propagandists spin it, the truth is that, with very few exceptions, every one of mankind’s problems is owed to too many people. As a person with a scientific training in thermodynamics and reaction kinetics, I can assure you with 100 percent certainty that a day of reckoning is coming. The only uncertainty is when. No matter how the politicians, media “spin doctors,” talk show “personalities” and other paid propagandists spin it, the truth is that -- as I’ve said many times -- President Kennedy’s famous admonition to, ”ask not what your Country can do for you but rather what you can do for your Country.” may be a popular cliche’ among the troops but it clearly doesn’t apply to legislators and the wealthy. I’m well aware that you know all this, but this is just a gentle reminder that some people really are aware of what’s going on in this dysfunctional country. The real issue is what can be done? The truthful answer? Not much, and certainly not by appealing to a rigged legal system. In any event, today is the first day of New York’s trout season and I’ve got to think about important things, such as how long before the snow melts enough so that I can get to the streams! David Safrany Half Moon Bay, Calif.
To the Adirondack Journal: The North Country Chamber of Commerce is the largest business and economic development organization in northern New York and the Lake Champlain region, representing more than 4,200 predominantly small employers across Essex, Clinton, Franklin, Hamilton and northern Warren Counties. We are strategically committed to the sustainable economic future of our shared, bi-state Champlain Valley region, working actively over the last twenty years across the lake on such endeavors as the Lake Champlain Basin Plan. Looking ahead, the Addison-Rutland Natural Gas Project, now before the Addison County Regional Planning Commission for review, holds an historic opportunity for Vermont and New York to jointly sustain a major source of shared employment and economic activity while also significantly enhancing the environment, all by assisting International Paper in the planned transition from heavy oil to natural gas. Given the broad regional importance of this pending project, and the critical importance of bi-state cooperation and partnership in what is our shared future, we hope the Commission will provide sufficient time and opportunity for all areas of the Lake Champlain region to be part of the dialogue and input, and that the Commission will in the end advance this important project in support of our joint economic and environmental future. Garry Douglas President North Country Chamber of Commerce
Man’s destruction of forests To the Adirondack Journal: I read in your newspaper where Stephen Danna objects to the opinion of Charles Krauthammer concerning climate change. Danna is convinced man caused it and man will correct it. He talks about the hogwash in the Krauthammer article but he forgets the remedy of some scientists who suggest putting gas converters on the bovine. He speaks of extreme weather, drought, crop failure and a whole litany of other disasters. All this we have been forewarned of in God’s Word. Man
disavows God and would usurp His control if possible. How sad for them who deny the Creator. Climate change is caused by mankind because of sin and the rejection of God. The carbon print is not caused by what mankind generates but has grown because man has destroyed, to a large extent, God’s process of photosynthesis. This process is converting the water and carbon-carrying oxygen back to free oxygen by the plant life-forms on earth. The destruction of the rain forests and clear-cutting of our timberlands around the world have caught up to mankind. One might consider there are 12 signs in the zodiac. For the Earth to pass from any starting point through a complete cycle back to the beginning takes over 25,500 years. This is called the precession of the Equinox. The position of the Earth in relation to the rest of the universe including the sun will not be the same for that period of time. The change is very slow. In Man’s short lifespan, he can observe but can he understand God’s program? God is in control and His plan for this earth and mankind is rapidly coming to completion. Man needs to seek out and know God for a future that is secure and lasts for eternity. Study God’s Word. Salvation is of God. Carl Thomas Stony Creek

Fundraiser for couple afflicted with leukemia draws many By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Dozens of area residents got their hair cut and styled and their backs massaged March 30 to raise money for Randy and Jacqueline Tyner, who are both battling leukemia. The fundraiser was held Sunday afternoon at Tina’s Hair Affair and Lake George Massage Therapy. Hair Affair proprietor Tina Cacckello said the turnout was solid. “It was such a great day, the fact that people turned out to help a couple they hadn’t even met,” she said. “It was very heartwarming.” The event featured beauticians and a massage therapist who donated their time and talents to raise money to help defray the ongoing medical expenses of Randy and Jacqueline Tyner, a relatively young couple. Cacckello said that Randy Tyner stopped in and thanked people who participated. Tyner is also facing his own health challenge: he’s afflicted with T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia, but he’s been focusing on providing care for Jacqueline, as well as raising awareness for other patients facing serious health issues. Hours after the fundraiser, Tyner talked about the generosity he’s witnessed among not only his neighbors and friends, but friends-of-friends — and citizens without any prior connection to the Tyner family. “People in the area have been so good to us — it’s really, really nice,” he said. “Their generosity says a lot about our community!” Jacqueline is back home now after undergoing a stem-cell replacement operation in Boston, and Randy is providing care full-time. She has been unable to work, and Randy’s position as a teacher in the Glens Falls School District and the area BOCES was eliminated last year in budget cutbacks — although students described him as a dynamic, committed instructor. He taught Outdoor Education and Gifted and Talented courses. Recently, Randy Tyner taught Composition courses at SUNY Adirondack, but had to quit to provide care for Jacqueline, he said. “Jackie’s recovery is going to be a long haul,” he said, noting that her chemotherapy was wreaking havoc with her intestines. “The doctors are very pleased with the stem cell transplant — But she needs someone here all the time.” Tyner continued his thoughts.
“It’s unfortunate I lost my job, but there’s no place I’d rather be than right here with her,” he said this week in a phone interview. “The generosity and kindness of people has been overwhelming.....just overwhelming,” he said. “We’re surrounded by so many people who are really caring and kind.” The Tyner family has been facing substantial medical bills, and their health care insurance hasn’t paid for it all. In addition, the insurance is due to expire soon. Without health insurance, one of the therapeutic drugs Jacqueline is taking is estimated to cost $12,000 per year, and another is expected to reach nearly $40,000 annually. Jacqueline is a social worker at Jackson Heights Elementary School, and she also serves as a clinical social worker for Hudson Headquarters Health Network. She was diagnosed in August with chronic myelogenous leukemia. Their story of their medical challenges and their courage has been detailed in postings on the “R&J Support Fund” Facebook page and a CaringBridge website page. People who wish to make contributions can send a check payable to “R&J Support Fund” to Glens Falls National Bank, 696 Upper Glen St., Queensbury NY 12804. Those seeking to verify the account may call the bank at 793-9656.

Adirondack Journal - 11
Winter still hanging on
I
In the Black!
I
t was a gentle incline, not all that noticeable, but my shins were telling me a different story. My shins hurt like I just walked up 99 floors of a 100 story building. And I was only half way through the course. It’s the usual pain in the beginning. This is not my first time here. I said to Frank who was walking with me: “my sister died of lung cancer two years ago and I do the pack test for her now, just By Rich Redman to let her know I am still off the butts”! I looked up at the overcast sky and asked her if she was watching, to give us a little push to help us along. Frank was carrying a heavier pack and I figured he could use a little help too. He’s young and really didn’t need it. As for me, I’ll take all the help I can get. We crossed the finish line in 43 min, 10 seconds; we beat the clock once again. The Work Capacity Test (WCT) or pack test is carrying a 45 pound pack on a three mile hike in less than 45 minutes to qualify for out of state forest fire crews. Every wildland firefighter needs to complete the pack test, every year, if they want to be an out of state firefighter. This endurance test separates the men from the boys, as they say. Your competition is with yourself! What it boils down to is that you need to be in shape, and after a long winter like this past one, that is not easy. Fire fighters wanting to go out of state must complete both the refresher and the pack test, while in state fire firefighters just need the refresher course. New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Forest Rangers teach the Annual Fireline Refresher training course throughout the state every year. Training for our area was held in Warrensburg on Saturday March 29 and April 3 in Ray Brook; both at the DEC regional headquarters. This year’s Warrensburg fire crew involved thirteen of us. DEC Rangers included J. Giginto, B.Lomnitzer, B. Baldwin, M. Thompson, J. LaPierre, Lt. S. Preston, J. Maxfield, J. Martin, J. Deslauriers, and J. Haker. Volunteer fire department members included North Queensbury Firefighter Frank Denardo, Moriah’s Assistant Chief Ed Roberts, and Captain R. Redman. NYS DEC Fire Warden, Ed. Robbins, a 49 year veteran as a warden also attended. He said next year will be his last, with 50 years in. A Mineville Firefighter, Matt Vincent took his training in Ray Brook. The course involves fire fighter safety as the number one priority. Fire fighter personal protective gear and equipment are covered, along with radio use. Training also includes fuel types, wind, temperature, relative humidity and other weather conditions that affect fire behavior. Topography such as aspect, slope, saddles and chimneys and all parts of mountainous terrain, are covered in detail to show how fire conditions can change rapidly on a fire scene. This year’s priority was on L.C.E.S., which stands for Lookouts, Communication, Escape Routes and Safety Areas. Lookouts are the eyes of the crew. They are usually perched in a high spot where they can see all of the fire. They communicate back to the fire crews and the command center, what and where the fire is doing or going. Any fire changes can be spotted and relayed back to the crews immediately. Communication is always the weak link in firefighting, whether it’s structural or wildland operations. A failure to communicate can lead to injuries or death. Keeping every firefighter informed to weather conditions, command strategy changes, fuel changes (as the fire progresses), terrain changes, and fire behavior is vital. Fire fighters have died when they were caught by surprise due to changing wind conditions, because no one notified crews of incoming storm fronts. Escape routes are just that. They are preplanned, marked out routes that allow firefighters to escape to safety. If weather conditions such as a wind change occurs causing a change in fire behavior, the firefighters can follow the route to their preplanned safety area. Safety areas are located where there is minimal, or no fuels that can burn, such as a log landing that has been cleared, a rocky area void of trees and bushes, a roadway, or in the black, a burned off area devoid of any fuels where fire fighters can wait out the fire without utilizing their fire shelter. Being “in the black” is the safest place to be. The safety area must be large enough to hold the crew and keep them safe, based on flame height and fuels involved in the fire. Field exercises included the pack test plus the use of a fire shelter. Every firefighter must be able to deploy a fire shelter in a proper manner in seconds to pass the course. The fire shelter is a last ditch, last resort safety effort that no firefighter wants to get into the position to use. If you need to deploy your shelter something went wrong; really wrong. All wildland firefighters carry an emergency shelter, Including engine, tender drivers and other heavy equipment operators. In an emergency the firefighter can deploy their shelters by shaking them open

and crawling inside. Once inside, they lay flat on the ground with their feet towards the oncoming fire. They keep their gloves, helmets and shrouds on to protect their head and their mouths are close to the ground where the air is cooler to help protect their airways. One breath of heated air can scorch the lungs and close off the airway. Hugging the ground, you wait until the fire passes. You don’t leave your shelter until the fire danger is over. The shelter is designed to reflect radiant heat away. The shelter is composed of three layers. An outside layer of foil reflects the radiant heat away, then there is fire resistant material and a second foil layer to further reflect heat away from the firefighter, inside the cocoon like shelter. These shelters are nicknamed “shake and bakes”, because you resemble a baked potato wrapped up in foil. The last thing any firefighter wants to do is bake in one though. This is serious business and I am not making fun of it. Radios and computers have changed over the years, but it is still the yellow shirted, green pants and fire boot ground pounding grunts that put out the wildland fires and protect the surrounding houses in the event of a wildland urban interface fire. The proud history and tradition of forest firefighting goes back to guys like Wagner Dodge, Ed Pulaski and even “Smokey the Bear” as a forest fire symbol. Numerous wildland firefighters have died in fires with names like Mann Gulch, the Dude Fire and the South Canyon fire. They are remembered no differently than the 343 Firefighters that died at the Twin Towers. Firefighting is a dangerous job. Whether it’s a structural fire like the one in Boston where two Brothers recently lost their lives or the 19 Granite Mountain Hot Shots in the Yarnell Fire in 2013 in Arizona, the danger is always there. We can’t be complacent and think it won’t happen to us; because it does! That is why we train and retrain and don’t stop training and learning. This article is dedicated to Boston Fire Fighters, Lt Edward Walsh, Michael Kennedy and those 19 Granite Mountain Hot Shots!

spent most of the past weekend in Elizabethtown, in order to visit with family and friends, and to check out a few of the local rivers and streams. While the weekend weather supplied ideal conditions to be outside, I was surprised to find very little open water on the Boquet River, The Branch, Barton’s Brook, Spruce Mill Brook or any of the other local waters. For almost twenty years, I’ve kicked off the new season with a leisurely canoe trip down the Boquet River in early April. It has become a rite of Spring. Usually, I put in near New Russia, and float all the way to the Elizabethtown Fish and Game Club on the Wadhams Road, just outside the village. It’s always interesting to note the changes that occur from year to year, with riverbanks collapsing, log jams forming, and the ever-ongoing rerouting efforts that have changed the course of the river channel in many places. For the past dozen years, I’ve been able to paddle the entire route without much hindrance from either ice or snow. Despite the usual lack of winter’s white, there’s often been plenty of evidence left over from the One Hundred Year Storms that have wreaked havoc on the local landscape. Primarily, the debris is in the form of just old junk such as the hull of a fiberglass motorboat, a sailboard, washing machines, tires, kids toys, mattresses, plastic milk bottles and of course, a whole lot of glass. I suspect much of the glass is a result of the river scouring away at roadside riverbanks that were once used as local garbage dumps. Last weekend, I traveled to Elizabethtown with the intention of again undertaking my annual river run. I first scouted the lower reaches of the river near Boquet and Wadhams, where snow and ice remained along the riverbanks, but the main channel was partly open. However, as I headed upriver, winter’s wrath was still obvious. It was still possible to walk along the riverbanks, supported by the thick crusty snow. But, by the time I reached Elizabethtown, the only apparent open water was a small channel snaking down the center current. In various stretches above the village, there were a few pockets of open water, but it appeared an extensive downriver excursion would result in more portaging than paddling. At Split Rock Falls, several miles south of the village, I had to trudge through two feet of wet, heavy snow just to reach the riverbank. The falls were still fully wrapped in blue ice and covered in white powder, with only a few hints of the black waters that flowed below. As always, I traveled with a fishing rod and a camera, as well as snowshoes and ski poles. Eventually, I discovered pretty much what I had expected. It appears the winter is still hanging on. Although a few of the signature signs of spring were around, the sighs of spring were more apparent. Anglers are frustrated by the lack of access to the cold, ice encapsulated waters. The Trout Season has been open for over a week, and I have yet to receive a fish photo. This is a timeframe when skiers get to enjoy a crust and dust surface for a fast morning trip into the backcountry, but they usually have to suffer through the slush and slop on the return. Backcountry ski trails are still in pretty good shape in the upper elevations, but with the recent warm weather, the base is getting quite soft. Local sugar shacks report that it has been a very poor year for production. The annual sap run has been more like a slow crawl this season, and as a result, prices are sure to soar. After two days, there was less than an inch of sap in the sap buckets hanging from the old maples on parent’s property in Elizabethtown. But, there has been evidence of steam coming from a few local sugar shacks.
The trout where-about
The recent warm weather, and bright sunshine has prompted many local anglers to step away from their usual spring chores, and slip away to the trout whereabouts. That type of behavior can cause a few problems at this time of year. In addition to the ever-present accumulations of ice and snow, water temperatures are still numbing. Access is still a major problem, as well, with over two feet of both snow pack, and ice cover in most backcountry areas. The most productive opportunities will likely be found at the base of waterfalls, where air temperature will have the greatest effect on water temperatures. There will also be a few ponds opening up, in areas near inlets and outlets. It is important to be careful not to disturb the scene. Watch for evidence of natural predators, such as mergansers, blue heron and eagles. While scouting a local flow early in the week, I watched a heron pull out a half dozen trout from the middle of a small pond. A number of local waters will open up soon with just a few days of warm weather or hard rain. However, it will be at least a few weeks before backwoods pond waters begin to go back to black. During the intervening weeks, it may be a good time to revisit all of the tangled tackle and twisted rods that were so hurriedly tucked away last fall, when the Big Game Season arrived so soon. If you do decide to get out on the cold waters of the Adirondacks, remember to buckle up your Life Vest. It’s not just common sense, it is now the law!

On a personal note
It would appear that spring is finally here. The warm temperatures are certainly welcome. While it has been a long and cold winter, I think it’s interesting to note that on April 2 of last year we had a spring storm that dropped nearly a foot of white stuff. I must admit that I do love driving on our country roads during spring. Just this week alone I have spotted a bald eagle flying high over the Schroon River — That was a remarkable sight! A pair of deer crossing the road caught my sons’ and my attention just a few days ago and we both noted that they looked very healthy for such a long winter. And I cannot number the amount
