Westmount sale terms blasted
This Week STONY CREEK
New ideas discussed
By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com
GLENS FALLS Ñ Past and present area political leaders were criticized for their handling of the cogeneration operation at Westmount nursing home Ñ and the facilityÕ s pending sale Ñ at a public meeting held May 1 by three Warren County supervisors who have opposed the sale procedure and its proposed terms. Several new ideas on the sale of Westmount, however were heard among the many criticisms aired at the meeting, held in Crandall Library by Mark Westcott and Doug Beaty of Queensbury and Peter McDevitt of Glens Falls. For months, Westcott and Beaty have been critical of the pending proposal of the Warren County Board of Supervisors to sell the home and its cogeneration operation to Specialty Care Group of Manhattan. Beaty and Westcott have denounced the bid and negotiation processes, as well as the price of Specialty CareÕ s pending offer. TheyÕ ve also opposed selling the money-losing cogeneration operation along with the nursing home, citing that doing so may be depressing the sale price. CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Railway sale comes as a shock to county officials By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com
NORTH CREEK — Iowa Pacific Rail, the parent company to the Saratoga & North Creek Railway, has agreed to sell an 80 percent interest to Chai Trust Co. LLC and EGI Fund Investors. Details of the sale have not been released by either
party, under protective order. It was mentioned in the filing that the senior management of Iowa Pacific are set to maintain the remaining 20 percent interest. Local county officials cited that communication and transparency with the railway is lacking. “Our office is looking into it,” said Kevin Geraghty, Warrensburg Supervisor and Chairman of the Warren
County Board of Supervisors. Ò Ed Ellis and crew are still maintaining (the line), and hopefully this adds an influx in capital.” SNCRR has struggled financially in the past with local debt and payments to Warren County, who are proprietors of the rail lines. CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

Stony Creek firefighters honored By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com STONY CREEK Ñ The Stony Creek Volunteer Fire Company honored members at its annual Old Timers Night April 26. According to Capt. Peter La Grasse, the Old Timers Night is the annual banquet of the Stony Creek Volunteer Fire Company, Inc., held at Molly’s Mason Jar restaurant in Lake Luzerne. During the event, La Grasse said he was proud of the department and the work they put in. “It often happens that I am out of town when a call goes out,” he said. “I listen to the pager and I am thrilled that within three or six minutes Stony Creek is out on the calls. Time after time Stony Creek is out when called. For this I thank you, and the community of Stony Creek thanks you. Every member of the company makes this happen. This is a team effort.” EMT awards were presented to Doreen Ryan (first place), Maura Mc Cann (second) and Nate Thomas (third). Ambulance driver award winners included Rick Moses (first), Bill Gloffke (second) and John Thomas (third). “I want to complement the winners of the EMT ambulance runs, our fellow firemen and squad members who staffed the ambulance the highest number of times last year, and the drivers who drove the ambulance the most often,” La Grasse said. Gloffke, McCann and Thomas were unable to attend.

Continued from page 1 The U.S. Surface Transportation Board made the sale public through a filing made April 21. No effort has been made at press time by Iowa Pacific or SNRCC to bridge communication with Warren County. “I am sitting back and observing,” Johnsburg Supervisor Ron Vanselow said. Ò I am hoping for a positive outcome, but IÕ m cautiously op-
timistic.” SNCRR is member of the Gore Mountain Region Chamber of Commerce, where officials say they have been heavily supported. “We received no official notification, and we are pretty disappointed in that,” said Lisa Salamon, Executive Director of the chamber. SNCRR currently runs their passenger service between Saratoga Springs and North Creek with seven station stops in between. They have recently also added summer service between Thurman and North Creek.

Adirondack Journal Editorial
Race against the rails Y
es, we are a reactionary society, yelling at the top of our lungs about what is happening right now. That is why, in the midst of the Donald Sterling backlash and all of the usual outrage that accompanies what has become the Annual American Racist Story, the train derailment and subsequent fire that rocked Lynchburg, Virginia on April 30 has gone under reported. This is really something that we in the North Country need to pay attention to. In that incident, 13 tanker cars derailed and three fell into the James River. The resulting fireball spewed hazardous oil into the natural landscape, an area graced by the pristine Blue Ridge Mountains, and caused an immediate environmental concern. An unspecified amount of oil leaked into the river, potentially upsetting the ecosystem. The rail cars involved were the same type that were carrying crude in the Lac-Megantic spill that killed 47 and leveled most of a town last year in Quebec. These cars were also involved in spills in Alabama, North Dakota and New Brunswick. In the North Country, we sit very close, if not on top of, the epicenter for East Coast rail transportation of this crude oil. Trainloads come through Canada on their way to downstate refineries, including one at the Port of Albany. They travel along our riverways and lakeshores in DOT-111 containers that have recently been outlawed by the Canadian government. These single-wall cars were not even designed to carry crude oil. Some of them pass within yards of shorelines, homes and businesses, many through unmarked intersections rife with blind spots. Even with a ban on these cars, which have been proven to be accident-prone and unsafe, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reported 14 of the 17 cars involved in the Lynchburg accident were built Ò to a higher standard voluntarily adopted by the industry in 2011.” Good news, right? Wrong. The NTSB and the railroad industry believe these cars are also not built well enough for crude oil transportation. In Albany County, lawmakers have placed a moratorium on the growth of rail facilities shipping crude oil, seeking to initiate a study of their health impacts and following last weekÕ s incident, County Executive Daniel McCoy doubled down on his intent to keep his countryÕ s residents safe and called on the federal government to take im-

mediate action. We agree action needs to be taken, and now. Recently, the railway operator responsible for shipping the crude told the Essex County Board of Supervisors they were working closely with local officials in drafting emergency response plans in the event of an accident. This meeting came after area residents noticed an uptick in rail traffic speeding through the North Country. The meeting left some supervisors still questioning what would happen if there was a spill due to a derailment and what could be done to prevent them from happening. Since then, Canadian Pacific has made efforts to bone up on facilitating a smoother communication process with local officials. They have offered to fly officials out for training and have shared information that they were previously sluggish in providing. For that, we applaud them for their outreach and attentiveness to the residents of the region. Following their responsiveness, the first thing the federal government needs to do as it awaits a pending report from the Department of Transportation is to follow in CanadaÕ s footsteps, take a page from their playbook and ban DOT-111 cars from our railways. They have proven to be ineffective in transporting crude oil and very dangerous, fatally so, in derailment situations. The federal government and railway companies need to come together to design and create a new generation of rail cars that will make this transportation as safe as possible. At the same time, the companies who own the tanker cars need to step to the plate. We know after looking at our heating bills these companies have the money to invest in safety considerations. Local communities also must get involved, working with their towns, counties and state emergency management services to have a plan in place in case a spill happens in their community. There are very few towns in the Adirondacks that do not have railways running through them, many times through populated hamlets, along agricultural land or along waterways. If these things do not happen, we fear it is just a matter of time before we are talking about a train derailment that dumps thousands of gallons of crude into Lake Champlain or an explosion causing the evacuation of areas of Plattsburgh. Or worse. Ñ Denton Editorial Board

Turning Back the Pages By Jean Hadden
One Hundred Years Ago May, 1914 Lumberjack held for murder
Melvin Hitchcock, of Wilmington, a brawny lumberjack, is in the Essex County Jail at Elizabethtown, held to await the action of the grand jury on a charge of murder in the first degree. Hitchcock and another lumberjack named Cannon, who is being held as a material witness, went to the home of Mrs. Hannah Ovitt, in Lake Placid, on Saturday night, May 2, 1914 and the three had a carousal during which they were heard quarreling. At 2 oÕ clock in the morning the house was discovered on fire. After the firemen extinguished the flames they found the dead body of Mrs. Ovitt wrapped in a mattress behind a coach. The coroner found wounds on her head which probably caused her death. The men were found in a log driverÕ s camp near the village where they were employed. The woman came from a reputable family, but was somewhat demented and had become a victim of the drink habit. It is believed that Hitchcock killed her and than fired the house to hide his crime.
Mistake could be fatal
Suffering from a severe headache on Sunday morning, Mrs. Richard A. Lane, 9 Jefferson Street, Glens Falls, went to a medicine cabinet to obtain a remedy. In separate envelopes of similar appearance were headache tablets and bichloride of mercury tablets which had been procured to be used as a disinfectant for a wound on her hand. By mistake she took the poison. In a short time her husband noticed that she was very pale and called her attention to it. She told him that her stomach seemed to be burning and she was afraid that she had taken the wrong tablet. Before going to a physician he called in a neighbor who promptly gave Mrs. Lane the white of an egg for an antidote. If her life is saved, she will owe it to this simple remedy which may have absorbed the deadly poison before it entered her system. The physician attending Mrs. Lane says she has a chance of recovery owing to the fact that the antidote was promptly administered but only time will tell as she will be in critical condition for the next two or three weeks. Mrs. LaneÕ s husband, Prof. Richard A. Lane, is a music teacher well known in this general area. He has had piano pupils in Warrensburgh for several years and his many friends here sympathize with his terrible trouble.
River driver drowned
While working on a log jam near the mouth
of the Cedar River, Napoleon Champagne, of Indian Lake, lost his balance and fell backwards into the water and being unable to swim was drowned in the swift current. Champagne, who was employed on the Frank King river drive, was trying with three other workmen to break up the jam. After falling into the water he shouted for help, but his companions were unable to assist him and he soon disappeared from sight. A searching party was immediately organized and the body was found Monday evening, May 11, 1914 at the junction of the Indian and Cedar rivers, nearly three quarters of a mile from the place where Champagne was drowned. He is survived by one daughter, Lulu Champagne of Indian Lake and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Seth Thomas, formerly of Wevertown. In other news, the Schroon River log drive, under the management of Michael McCarthy, started Monday morning, May 18, 1914 from the foot of Schroon Lake. As a result of the heavy snows of last winter the log traffic is unusually heavy this season and for this reason several new recruits have been added to the already established corps of river drivers The river men were kept busy all day Monday, May 18, 1914, undermining a jam which formed at Island Falls, near Starbuckville. In spite of the perspiration continuously dripping from their ivory domes, seven husky river drivers with willing servitude worked strenuously just above the shirt factory in Warrensburgh all Wednesday afternoon, May 20, 1914, removing old timbers and other floating debris which obstructed the pathway of the logs floating gracefully down the Schroon River on their way to the various mills along the stream. Edson Persons has a crew of men peeling hemlock logs before they are put into the Schroon River, at Riverbank.
Look out below
A large auto truck used in hauling coal from Ticonderoga to the mines at Graphite, in the town of Hague, broke through the flooring of a bridge at the head of Brant Lake Tuesday afternoon at 1 o’clock and blocked traffic on the Hague Ð Horicon road until 7 oÕ clock in the evening after the truck had been raised by horses and blocking brought from the mines and placed in the road. Superintendent William OÕ Connell was riding in the truck when the accident occurred but neither he nor the chauffeur was injured. Only the rear end of the machine went through the bridge and the truck was not damaged.
Boy’s night out in Minerva
A party of Warrensburgh gentlemen motored to Minerva on Sunday afternoon and spent
a few pleasant hours at the Mountain View House, conducted by that prince of hosts, John D. McSweeney and his estimable wife. At the evening hour, “John D.” served for them a supper which could not be surpassed in city banquet halls or gilded restaurants in the famous capitals of Europe. The spread was prepared under the personal supervision of the hostess, who for fourteen years had charge of the cuisine at the late Timothy WoodruffÕ s famous Adirondack camp at Lake Kora.

(Note – That lovely old barn, next door south of the Tops grocery store plaza, across Emerson Avenue, surely looks as good today as it did a hundred years ago thanks to its present owner, Faithanne Buck whose home is the Emerson House Bed and Breakfast residence.)
Sagamore struggles to recover
Sweet and sour notes
The junk from the late Hotel Sagamore at Bolton Landing was sold to Bernatein & Kaplan of Glens Falls and they have six weeks to get it away from the site of the April 14, 1914 fire. The safe of the Sagamore Hotel which passed through the recent fire, was opened Tuesday, May 12, 1914 by Sheridan Finkle and Charles Hays in the presence of Mr. Krumbholz and John Boulton Simpson. The stamps were useless but other papers were found to be all right.
Legal notice
Ò My two boys, Claude, 13 and George, 11 are truants and not amenable to discipline. I am striving to keep them in the paths of rectitude and in furtherance of that purpose hereby forbid all persons from harboring them in any way whatsoever, or trusting them for anything what ever on my account as I shall pay no bills which they contract. May 11, 1914 – C.N. McCauley, Athol, N.Y.
Man failing fast
Lewis Hack is failing fast. He could only whisper yesterday. His two sons, Jessie and Beecher are having a lonely time all alone with no one to help them but the neighbors, who do all they can for them, but it is hard for the boys for they have to see to the work outdoors and in the house and also see to a sick father who can not live long. May God help them to care for their father as long as he lives and comfort them when he goes on the road we all have to one day travel.

Letters to the Editor
Dangerous anitdotes
To The Adirondack Journal: IÕ m not sure there are any antidotes for the dangerous practice of injecting a mix of toxic chemicals in shale strata as part of the hydraulic fracturing process in deep oil and gas well production. However your editorial (4/26/14) is an anecdote I will take to my grave. Robert Nessle Johnsburg
Stand up for rights
To the Adirondack Journal: The time for us as citizens to stand up for our rights and the rights of all citizens. Two court decisions-The CitizensÕ United one and the recent McCutheon decision have now made it possible for the rich and powerful of the population to control elections with their money. Chief Justice Roberts and those others who by their decision struck down limits clearly did not understand what our forefathers and fore mothers intended long ago. Chief Justice Roberts may claim to be a strict constitutionalist. But in my opinion he and the other justice have rewritten the constitution for destructive purposes. I find it alarming and very troubling that people we entrust with power could be so blind or uncaring of the realities of our society today. Our ancestors could not have for seen how through the mass media and otherwise individuals and corporations could seek to control the elections and steal the power from we as ordinary citizens. So now we must all act and let our elected representatives and the other leaders in Congress know our convictions and urge them to pass legislation that will prevent the misuse of power and money. Unless we do this, we will more and more as a nation become the United States of Corporate America. David H. Schlanksker Chestertown
Dan Alexander From page 4
decisions and choices that become a part of who we become as individual. Since no two people are the same, trying to place people into labeled categories only serves to discourage individual achievement.
Make a stance
To the Adirondack Journal: I read with interest your editorial on fracking in New York. The state has taken a cautious approach to this form of energy extraction, unlike other states which are now having to put in place laws and regulations to protect the water table and affected communities. You are correct that the identity of toxic fracking fluids is not subject to disclosure under The Safe Water Drinking Act. This secrecy was put in place largely at the behest of former Vice President Dick Cheney. You encourage the development of wind power as a clean alternative to carbon and toxin-based forms of energy. Please remember roof top and community solar, completely clean and decentralized energy infrastructures. There are state and federal incentives in place for these, but more could be done to speed their development. Current incentives in New York cut the up-front investment by about two-thirds. The remaining costs are generally recouped in 8-10 years through savings. You misuse the word “antidote” in the editorial; I believe that you meant to use “anecdote” instead. Also, “Anwar, Alaska,” should read “ANWAR or The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.” You end the editorial, with a tone of essentially wondering what Governor Cuomo will decide regarding fracking in New York. Given the strong content of your overall message, a forceful recommendation to limit or ban fracking in New York, would be more effective. David Thomas-Train Keene Valley
Life on this earth holds no guarantee for any of us. True fairness and judgment, in my opinion, simply can not happen in this world until we are completely blind to color and race. The herd can stampede all it wants, but no individual or government will ever be able to ensure 100 percent racial fairness in all things. Instead, each of us must look in the mirror and know
Thanks for benefit support

Rafting story concern
To the Adirondack Journal: I have some observations negative but truthful, about your story about rafting in your current issue of North Country Living. Thom Randall’s story was fluff. The rafting industry on the Hudson has been beret by lax standards the whole time it has been in existence. For years I’ve been a lone voice crying out in the wilderness about this and have gotten nowhere, I bailed out after guiding for almost 30 years in utter exasperation and disgust because of this. The pictures on pages eight and nine show overloaded boats. Jim Leonard Warrensburg

Local Business makes donation to hospice
Eric and Lois Melito, owners of One on 1 Design have created a beautiful ‘wildflowers’ design t-shirt, the proceeds of which will benefit High Peaks Hospice & Palliative Care, Inc. Eric’s mother was the recipient of the compassionate care provided by HPH&PC and the Melito family wanted to show their appreciation by creating this one-of-a-kind design and donate the proceeds to the organization. Ô The Melitos are such genuinely kind people,Õ remarked Sunday Conine, Development Coordinator with HPH&PC. Ô From our very first meeting, it was apparent that a strong bond had been forged with the nurses. Hugs are a requirement!Õ she joked. The shirt design was created to highlight the love for EricÕ s mother, Carol, with the moniker, Ô Forget You NotÕ . Ô We are so grateful to Eric and Lois for their generosity, thanks to their support we surpassed our fundraising goal to purchase 2 new clinical laptops for our intake nurses,Õ adds Sunday. To view the design, please visit http://www.oneon1design.com/tree-of-life-wildflowers/. Hospice care is covered by the Medicare Hospice Benefit, Medicaid and private insurance carriers but reimbursements do not cover cost of specialized hospice care. HPH&PC receives no federal or state support and relies on the generosity of the communities it serves to make up the difference. The expenses uncovered by insurance - the essential and intangible services integral to hospice programs - include: bereavement support to family members coping with loss, hospice volunteers to provide respite so caregivers can take a walk and get away for awhile or merely offer a listening ear to patients and families, and those with little or no insurance. To learn more, please visit www.highpeakshospice.org.
On a personal note
Spring has finally arrived; when you venture outside to take a walk or explore our wonderful town please remember a few things. It is reported that tick season is expected to be larger than
Adirondack Journal - 9 previous years; use caution and protect yourself as best you can to avoid these parasites. Additionally, use a full length mirror or having a loved one help you inspect your body when you return from the outdoors, is advised. If you are unfortunate enough to find one on your body, seek medical attention immediately. Also, it would be a great idea to carry a plastic shopping bag in your pocket when walking our roads. This will serve as way to carry litter found along our townÕ s roads to help spruce it up.

Fertilizer law amended LAKE GEORGE Ñ At its meeting April 23, the Town of Lake George Board unanimously adopted an amendment to Local Law 4-2010 – Restriction on the Application of Lawn Fertilizer within the Town of Lake George. The Fertilizer Restriction Law for the Lake George Park was written to promote a lakewide commitment and adoption of the law to reduce the impact to Lake George from excess phosphorus, nitrogen and other pollutants from lawn chemicals. The intent is that all nine municipalities within the Lake George Park (Lake George watershed) will adopt a common law to restrict chemicals from being applied within close proximity to our main drinking water source. To date, only three municipalities have adopted a fertilizer restriction law. A minimum 50 foot required setback from waterbodies for fertilizer applications within the Town of Lake George has been adopted, effective immediately (the same 50 foot setback distance as Queensbury). This increased setback for application of lawn chemicals is one of the necessary components in the effort to reduce nutrient pollution that is currently feeding the algae and aquatic invasive plants in Lake George, not to mention that the chemicals applied to lawns may end up in our drinking water.

Lake Geo. fire chief asks board for new pumper-tanker By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ Local fire officials say the fire truck they rely on to fight many residential fires is in poor condition and needs to be replaced, but village board members are wary of buying a new pumper-tanker because of its expense. Lake George Fire Chief Jason Carmody told village board members May 2 that their existing 2002 American LaFrance fire truck is in such bad shape that it needs to be scrapped. He noted that American LaFrance went out of business and parts can
be difficult to obtain for the model they have. The truck is now in Albany at Tyler Fire Equipment, pending a decision on whether to repair or replace it. Local fire officials said that the water pump is not operating, the gas tank has rotted, and various lights, switches, outlets and valves do not operate. It also needs new struts, exhaust pipes and various belts, according to an estimate from Tyler Õ s service manager. The memo noted the fire truck has many electrical problems that may require extensive diagnosis and rewiring. According to reports from
Lake George fire personnel, the water pump failed to work on a recent fire that consumed a house near GeorgeÕ s Restaurant on Rte. 9L. Carmody told the board May 2 that their two other fire engines, one a massive ladder truck and the other a large triple-axle pumper couldnÕ t substitute for the 2002 American LaFrance, because they couldnÕ t travel up many rural unpaved roads and narrow, twisting driveways. He suggested the village buy a new mid-size fire truck. Ò We donÕ t have a working fire truck that we can guarantee will get into local driveways,” he said, noting that the larger trucks couldnÕ t make sharp turns. A new mid-size pumper truck could cost $300,000 to about $600,000 depending on model and equipment. The village presently has
about $475,000 set aside in a fire equipment reserve fund, Blais estimated. According to long-standing fire protection agreements, the town of Lake George would be paying a portion of the truckÕ s cost. Deputy Mayor John Earl said he was surprised at the extensive repairs needed, considering the truckÕ s relatively recent vintage and its modest use. Ò Taylor has serviced the American LaFrance all these years Ñ How come all of a sudden the truck is a piece of junk?” he said, noting that village officials had not been told over the years of pending problems. Mayor Robert Blais said the truck in its present condition would likely have little value, or about $15,000 Ñ the amount that could be obtained from scrapping the steel.
Ò Get a quote from Tyler for fixing it up,” he said. “However, we could be putting good money after bad.” Board member Ray Perry suggested that the village buy a scrapped American LaFrance pumper and take parts off it to fix up the fire department’s existing truck. Ò Tyler should have warned us several years ago about the truck’s condition,” he said. Blais suggested that fire officials attend fire equipment expositions, obtain quotes on replacement vehicles, then report back to the board on their findings later this month. At this May 2 special meeting, the village board approved a 2015 fire protection contract with the fire department for $215,934, a slightly higher sum than for the present year.

Westmount
Continued from page 1 TheyÕ ve also contended that a purchase offer received from Fort Hudson Health Systems of Fort Edward Ñ a trusted local enterprise which employs many people from Warren and Washington counties Ñ may not have been appropriately pursued. At a Board of Supervisors meeting April 18, questions raised by Beaty, Westcott and several others prompted the board to vote “No” by a weighted vote of 501 to 499 on a motion to proceed with the planned sale to Specialty Care. This proposed sale involved the county guaranteeing Specialty Care reimbursement from the state for cogeneration costs — a provision that could cost county taxpayers up to $1.26 million over the next seven years. Two supervisors believed to be supportive of the sale, however, were not present for the vote. Since then, county leaders scheduled a special board of supervisors meeting May 7, and a re-vote was expected to occur at the meeting. In the meantime, about two dozen gathered at the “Town Hall” meeting held May 1 to drum up public support for opposing the sale as planned. Several people at the meeting as well as Westcott said they opposed the pending sale provision that only requires Specialty Care to keep the nursing home open for five years. “A five-year deal concerns me deeply,” Westcott said. Ò If they shut the nursing home down, what will happen to the 80 patients now at Westmount?” The cogeneration operation has been conducted through a lease purchase deal devised by Seimens Building Technologies and instituted in 2005. While county leaders at the time claimed it had saved taxpayers more than $800,000 in utility costs over several years, it had actually lost them plenty, according to several independent engineering analyses. Losses Ñ when including the capital costs of the equipment Ñ have been estimated at several million dollars. The pending sale terms include continuing the co-generation operation, and the county guaranteeing partial compensation for the cogeneration costs if the state doesnÕ t follow through with their pledged Medicaid payments toward the operation. Such compensation was supposed to be $3.3 million over 16 years, but Warren County has only received $635,000 to date in the first nine years of the contract, Westcott noted. The state at this point has an overdue balance of $2.5 million they owe Warren County taxpayers, Westcott said. Ò To guarantee Medicaid payments of $1.2 million more doesn’t make sense,” Westcott said. In response, Queensbury Town Board member Doug Irish suggested that the sale terms specify that Specialty Care receive compensation only after Warren County was fully compensated for the cogeneration costs. Law enforcement authorities are now conduct-
ing a criminal investigation into the matter of how Seimens structured and implemented the cogeneration deal. Beaty warned at the May 1 meeting that if fraud is proven, Medicaid was likely to seek a refund of $1 million or more. “It’s a rotten deal, and involves real liabilities,” he said. Former county Treasurer Frank OÕ Keefe, who questioned the deal for years, noted that Seimens has been fined $1.5 billion for questionable deals they have devised. Ò ItÕ s hard to believe that 20 supervisors would go along with a contract like this,” he said. “It’s a tragedy.” A number people at the meeting agreed that the county leaders in 2005 failed to appropriately negotiate the deal with Seimens. Several of them said the county leaders who were involved in the negotiation should be investigated. Westcott noted that the county airport is now losing about $1 million per year, and the countyÕ s Countryside Adult Home, which is hosting only 42 residents now, is running a deficit of $550,000. Irish responded with a suggestion that Westmount and Countryside be consolidated to slash deficits by boosting efficiency. Wescott responded, “Your idea is ‘right on!’” Westcott noted that the original solicitation for Westmount sale bids prioritized creation of a health care campus on the 28 acres of land surrounding Westmount. He said Specialty CareÕ s bid contained no such plans Ñ but another bidder, Fort Hudson Health Care Systems, had entertained the idea Ñ but didnÕ t want to take on the cogeneration. McDevitt said that the property should be built out with the most modern facilities to accommodate the needs of the ever-increasing elderly population. Ò We have a moral responsibility to assuring that our seniors reach the twilight of their lives receiving the very best care,” he said, criticizing the pending sale. Regardless of the potential vote on May 7, the controversy is likely to continue, as the sale provisions will be negotiated over several months to reflect the supervisors concerns, county Administrator Paul Dusek has said. He and others have noted that if the county drags out the sale process, deficits from Westmount, an estimated $50,000 weekly, will be mounting up in the meantime. Last week, the county hired Glens Falls attorney Larry Paltrowitz to analyze engineering reports and advise the county on whether to sue Siemens over mis-stated “savings” of the cogeneration operation — which were apparently financial losses. The supervisors also voted to hire him for up to $60,000 to help negotiate the sale of Westmount. Irish criticized the decision. Ò Why do we have two attorneys working for the county that we pay $300,000 per year and we’re hiring a third to explore suing Seimens?” he said.

Warren County Supervisor Mark Westcott of Queensbury talks to the public gathered at a ‘Town Hall’ meeting he co-sponsored to discuss the pending sale of county-owned Westmount nursing home to Specialty Care Group of Manhattan.
