By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Amid unprecedented expressions of municipal cooperation, the leaders of Lake George’s two local governments decided Tuesday, Jan. 24 to work together on exploring conversion to solar energy and pursuing consolidation of functions and resources. The actions were taken at a rare joint meeting between the Lake George Village trustees and the Lake George town board. Town board member Marisa Muratori and village Public Works Superintendent Dave Harrington revealed they have been taking action exploring the concept of installing solar panels to energize various municipal facilities, both to save money and to shrink the governments’ carbon footprint. As of Tuesday, Harrington had given two solar engineering firms preliminary tours of the Lake George town and village facilities, and several more similar CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

WCS Marathon Dance raises record sum for charity By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — The number of participants in Warrensburg High School’s second annual Marathon Dance may have decreased substantially this year, but the prevailing charitable spirit and fun made up for it, event organizers said. Although 117 students signed up for the event, 77 showed up to dance the night away — from 7 p.m. Saturday Jan. 14 to 7 a.m. the following morning. Regardless of the decline, preliminary accounting indicates that the total of cash received through donations and various raffles exceeded $8,000 — surpassing the $7,500 or so raised last year, volunteer parent Martha Smith said Sunday. Smith answered questions about the event Sunday, as
WCS Pre-K registration now open WARRENSBURG — Those residents of the Warrensburg Central School District who have a child that will be 4 years old on or before December 1, 2012 are eligible to enroll in the Warrensburg Elementary School Pre-Kindergarten Program for the 2012-13 school year. Parents or caregivers interested in enrolling their children in this program are urged to contact the Elementary School Main Office at 623-9747 for registration information.
In Memory of Boyd Guynes STONY CREEK — Boyd Guynes of Harrisburg Road in Stony Creek passed away on the evening of Jan. 12, 2012. Boyd was loved by everyone who knew him. His laughter and personality will truly be missed by all. This is truly the end of an era for Stony Creek, as one person described it. Rest in peace, Boyd. — from all your friends in The Creek
Bird feeder workshop scheduled BRANT LAKE — The annual family workshop: “Caring for the Birds in Our Backyard,” is to be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 28 in the Horicon Town Hall. Attendees of all ages will be creating a variety of bird feeders while learning about Adirondack birds. the event is sponsored by Friends of Horicon Library. Refreshments are to be served, and the event is free of charge. To register, which is required so adequate materials are supplied, call 4943357.
event spokeswoman Marlene DeLongis had only logged three hours sleep in the past 36 hours. Smith said that during the dance, deejay Andy Pratt of Bolton engaged the students in a variety of activities and contests as well as playing popular tunes. She said Pratt donated his services for the event. “He was very good with the kids, keeping them moving through the night,” she said. Also, about 20 parents donated their time and talents to the marathon, which raised money to benefit North Country Ministry, High Peaks Hospice, the local American Red Cross chapter and the local Sons of the American Legion group. Warrensburg students on the Marathon Dance committee chose the organizations. The parent volunteers worked primarily at the registration and raffle tables and in the kitchen. In addition to the parents on site, many others brought in food and other donations. Featured during the evening’s activities was a tribute to the late Brent Bertrand, beloved WCS Technology teacher and softball coach who died last week. A projector set up in the school cafeteria — where the raffles were taking place — showed a series of photographs of Bertrand at work at WCS through his 28-year career. Also, Pratt played several of Bertrand’s favorite songs, urging students to recall his attributes as they danced, Smith said. Key to the successful cash proceeds of the Marathon Dance was the participation of sixth graders, who held fundraisers in the months leading up to the dance. While the high schoolers had to raise $50 to participate — double last year ’s requirement — the sixth graders had a $20 minimum to reach. About 15 sixth graders joined in the night’s activities, and Smith said the high school students had a welcoming attitude toward the younger set. “The elementary students were well-received and integrated into all the activities,” she said. Smith said dozens of area businesses were remarkably generous. She noted that Stewart’s Shops donated milk, eggs, bread and other goods. “They came through with a ton of food,” she said. Although pleased with the proceeds, Marathon Dance organizers have talked about how to boost participation in the

event, noting that holding the event on a three-day weekend may exclude students who are on a getaway vacation with their families. Also, an idea was proposed to hold the event from noon to midnight, to boost dancers’ energy levels, Smith said. “This year ’s event was fun, but we seek to make it bigger and better every year,” she said. “Our goal is to do as much as we can for the community.”

Life or death ... what would you do?
Teachers influence lives; T we should respect them K
athryn Lacey asked an interesting question recently. “How many of your teachers can you remember?” she wondered. “Can you make a list naming them?” Lacey, who is decades removed from her own education, remembers every one of her teachers. “That’s because they were important people in my life,” she said. “I bet you remember most of your teachers, too.” Lacey was so influenced by her teachers that she became one. Now retired, she taught at Moriah Central School. Can you name teachers from your school days? Probably so. Lacey is right. Teachers have played and still do play important roles in our lives. We should keep that in mind as school districts prepare 2012-13 budgets. In recent years, as school taxes have increased, teachers have become an easy target of frustrated, angry people caught in a squeeze between stagnant incomes and a growing cost of living. It’s not right to blame teachers for the problems of a national recession. The truth is teachers have made greater sacrifices than any other group as schools struggle to improve student performance and reduce costs. In the past few years virtually every teacher union in the North Country has made concessions — pay cuts, pay freezes, increased health insurance costs, longer hours, additional workloads and more. And despite those concessions, teachers have still lost their jobs. Schools across New York have lost a total of 30,000 educator positions in the last three years, nearly 14 percent of the teaching workforce, according to the state education department. Last spring more than 7,000 teachers were laid off in New York and another 4,000 teaching positions went unfilled.
The number of out-of-work teachers is certain to grow as school boards work to meet the new 2 percent tax cap this spring. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has proposed an $800 million increase in state aid to education this year. That’s an improvement from last year, but little of that money is expected to reach the North Country. Again local school boards will face difficult decisions in preparing their 2012-13 budgets. In fact, this year could be even more difficult since many school districts are running low on fund balances that were used to get by in recent lean years. And despite promises from the governor, there has been no mandate relief for local schools who must still pay for decisions made in Albany. Hopefully these difficult decisions can be made in the best interests of students and taxpayers without vilifying teachers. If teachers must be cut it should be done with sincere regret and disappointment after exhausting all other options. We should remember teachers are much more than employees; they’re members of our communities. They raise families, work hard and contribute to our towns like all other residents. They face rising taxes, too — they pay the same school taxes as everyone else. And, like the rest of us, they must deal with increasing costs for gas, heat, food, education and more. As teachers cope with the stresses of a recession and possible loss of their jobs they shouldn’t have to face the anger of neighbors.

Authorities say armed man throws gun in river, tries to slug police Warrensburg Court Report Jan. 11 — Judge Mindy Fisk presiding • Robert B. Fish, 48, of 40 Smith St. in Warrensburg — who police say threw a loaded rifle into the Schroon River when stopped by a patrolman and then attempted to attack the officer — appeared in court Jan. 11. Smith is facing multiple charges including Felony seconddegree Attempted Assault as well as a Misdemeanor of Resisting Arrest, based on the incident at 11:31 a.m. Jan. 6 on River St. near Alden Avenue. Police said that Fish attempted to slug Warren County Sheriff's Patrol Officer Greg Seeley in the face while the officer was trying to arrest him on a charge of Disorderly Conduct, but Seeley subdued him with pepper spray. He attempted to flee the scene during the confrontation, police said. Fish is also charged with Criminal Possession of a Weapon, a Misdemeanor, for carrying the .22 caliber rifle, which was illegal because he had been convicted of a Felony in Warrensburg Town Court Aug. 25, 2003, police said. He also faces a charge of Disorderly Conduct/Obscene Language for telling Officer Seeley “I'm not going to drop the (expletive) gun.” Seeley had responded to a report of a male walking suspiciously down Stewart Farrar Avenue carrying a gun, and Seeley asked fish to put the rifle down several times, became agitated, and refused to do so, prompting the confrontation. Fish was sent to Warren County Jail for lack of $5,000 cash bail. Fish told the judge he was unemployed. Warren County Sheriff ’s scuba divers retrieved the rifle from the river afterwards. • Sandra L. Maston, 18, of 6334 Main St. in Chestertown appeared in court, to face a Felony charge of second-degree Assault based on an incident at 8:15 p.m. Dec. 11. Police said she struck a man with her 2000 Hyundai, causing injury to his left leg. In relation to this incident, Maston is also charged with the misdemeanors of Reckless Endangerment, third-degree Aggravated Unlicensed Operation, and Leaving the Scene of a Personal Injury Accident. A three-month order of Protection was issued barring Maston from contacting the man. Maston was sent to Warren County Jail for lack of $500 bail. • Lucas A. Langley, 33, of Oak St. in Warrensburg, pled Guilty to a charge of Endangering the Welfare of a Child, a Misdemeanor, based on an incident in June on Oak St. in Warrensburg, when he touched a girl less than 14 years old in a private part of her body. He was sent to jail for 10 months and fined $205. A charge of second-degree Sexual Abuse was dismissed in the case. A one-year order of protection was issued, barring Langley from contacting the girl.

Chased from one town to another •100 Years Ago – Jan. 1912•
A rollicking good time Warrensburgh society people have been very busy this winter with card parties, straw rides and good times. Unusual gayety has prevailed. “A night full of joy” was what the Warrensburgh Masonic Club promised all who could attend their dance and supper Friday night, Jan. 26, 1912, at Masonic Hall and club rooms in the Woodward block. In years, there has not been an event which was so largely attended. There were so many dancers on the floor that night at the Music Hall that whirling in the mazy dance was somewhat difficult but everybody was good-natured about a collision now and then which contributed to the gayety. At the club rooms in the Woodward block, J.P. Gabel and his aids were kept busy until 2 a.m. feeding an estimated 600 hungry people. Every ticket came with a chance on one of 50 handsome articles which were donated as prizes. To name a few, J.P. Gabel won a solid brass bed and a one-year subscription to McClures’ magazine, Mary Ross, 100 pounds of granulated sugar, S. Ross, a barrel of flour, Lewis Manzer and R.S. Hall, each won a sugar-cured ham, Ira Wilsey, a gallon of maple syrup, J.A. Howe, a cord of four-foot hard wood, Albert Emerson, a gold mounted briar pipe and Ben Hammond, dental work amounting to $5. Claude Pereau went home with a live rooster.
The evening was a great success with a huge turnout and the profits for the Masonic Lodge were $350. (Note: The Masonic club rooms were in the stone building across from the now defunct Griffin house restaurant. For many years it was called the “Lizzie Woodward building.” The Music Hall was across Main Street from that building on the north corner of Main and Adirondack streets.)
Stove explosion wrecks kitchen As the result of the explosion of a hot water front attached to a cast iron kitchen stove, the residence of Martin L. Messenger on Hudson St., Warrensburgh was endangered by fire Jan. 25, 1912 and was damaged to the extent of over $100 while Mr. Messenger barely escaped injury or grievous harm. The gentleman was at his grocery store a short distance away nearly all afternoon and as there was no other occupants in the building and he left little fire in the stove. During the afternoon the fire went out and the water in the storage tank and pipes froze. He returned home at about 6 p.m. and unconscious of the danger, rebuilt the fire and then went out to the barn to accomplish some chores. When he stepped back into the room 10 minutes later, it was filled with smoke and pieces of the stove were thrown about the floor and one big piece had penetrated the pantry door and another has crashed through the ceiling. A third had broken a lamp, saturating with oil the stand on which it stood and the force of the explosion had
thrown live coals on to a nearby bed and in just a few moments it was a mass of flames. Seizing a kettle, Messenger caught the water which was now flowing from the busted pipes and succeeded in extinguishing the flames before they could reach adjoining rooms. Had he remained in the room just minutes longer he probably would have been seriously injured or killed and had he tarried outside in the barn ten minutes longer, the fire would have been beyond control.
The good life — behind bars In a letter to Saratoga friends, George Quick, who is serving a life sentence in Dannemora prison for the murder of his wife Sept. 24, 1911 in their little hovel at Kings Station, says he is enjoying comforts in prison that he never enjoyed when he was a free man. (Note: the story of this unusual and brutal murder was told in this column in Sept. 17 and Dec. 19, 1911.)
High price of wounded feelings Dr. Charles F.W. Horn of New York City, who owns a considerable amount of property in Lake George, is the defendant in an action for $50,000 damages brought against him by Miss Lydia Straeder Smith, a nurse, for alleged false arrest and prosecution. The action is the sequel to a proceeding in Magistrate’s Court in which Miss Smith is charged with writing annoying letters to Dr. Horn. She was acquitted of the charge and now seeks balm for her wounded feelings in the amount stated.
The family of Asa Smith, who some time ago were banished from Warrensburgh by the town authorities because they were undesirable citizens and who went back from here to Bolton, were recently told again to move and like “the cat who came back,” they came back to Warrensburgh to take up residence in the old Tim Collins house in Marion Park. But they were not allowed to unload there and are now at home on Harrington Hill, in the town of Caldwell.
History of an Adirondack lady Mary Ann Brown Middleton, 88, daughter of John and Martha Sherman Brown, died Jan. 18, 2012. She was born in the town of Queensbury on Nov. 20, 1824 and when she was about 11, her parents moved to Shelving Rock, Lake George. Her father was engaged in lumbering for quite some time and a few years later he took up his residence at Riverbank on the farm now owned by J.H. Roberts. The deceased was married on Feb. 16, 1839 when she was 15 to Benjamin Packer Middleton. They began housekeeping in the town of Chester. Four years later they moved to Riverbank and lived on the farm today owned by their son-in-law, Sylvenus Smith. Forty-three years ago they removed to Bolton where Mr. Middleton followed his trade of a stone mason. He died 23 years ago and Mrs. Middleton went to live with her son, Elisha Middleton with whom she has since made her home. She was the mother of five children, two dying in infancy, the son mentioned and Mrs. George H. Allen and Mrs. Sylvenus Smith. Mary Ann Middleton died after a long life and an illness of only five days.
Letters to the Editor We can learn from the messages on the Brent Bertand memorial wall To the Adirondack Journal: Your article about the death of Brent Bertrand, the teacher (and so much more) at Warrensburg High School, touched my heart. I am surrounded by kids like those who wrote so eloquently on the memorial wall, and it is they who warm my soul. There was a study done recently of adults who had stressful upbringings, yet overcame the obstacles and built fulfilling lives. The researchers sought out common factors in the lives of their subjects. What they found (I could have saved them a lot of money — it is detailed in my book) is that every one of them had at least one person there for them, nurturing them, listening to them, whether they were teachers, clergy, friends or neighbors. They were listening to them without judgement, which, of course, closes doors to communication. Brent Bertrand was one of those people. Why aren't there more teachers who are there for our struggling youth? I will answer this question with an allegory. I am friends with a young woman who was excited to enter the field of Education for which she studied and felt prepared. She recognized how powerful a role she could play in the lives of young people, and she accepted a teaching position at a poor, underfunded school. Her first class had 51 students, all of whom were forced to enter a Regents program (the school had only recently dropped the non-Regents curriculum, which was a death knell for many of the children). It was stressed to her that she must “stay on course” and not be distracted by too many “questions” or “diversions” from the children. In other words, generating excitement for her subject, World History, would slow things up, and certainly listening to, and nurturing a student through hardship would distract from her teaching. The fact both would surely enhance the learning process was irrelevant. We lost her to another profession, just as we have lost so many other exciting, enthusiastic teachers. (Others stay, but are guided by their disillusionment.) We lost many youth as well who would have been the beneficiaries of her deep caring. When are we going to wake up to the damage we are doing to our youngsters in the name of the funding stream? When will we start listening to our youth, as Brent Bertrand found the time to do, and have our programs incorporate their needs, desires and aspirations? When will we create an educational atmosphere that encourages curiosity, and nurtures the process of learning, instead of racing mindlessly to the top? In that race, many children are “left behind.” Only then will I will no longer receive late night calls from youth who tell me that they can't take it anymore and want to end their life. Here is a good start. Some of the postings on Mr. Bertrand's wall that you cite were, “You made every student feel like they were important... ,” “You moved every heart and touched every soul... ,” You were the reason I survived school,” “You inspired me....” Think about what they are saying, then hold a student forum (call it the “Bertrand Forum”) where you encourage them to expand on their thoughts. Next, with a panel of young people at your side, incorporate all that you have learned into your planning. You will be amazed at their insights. I'll help because I do not ever again want to learn that one of my kids took her life, because the stress was too great. Irv West Thurman (Editor’s Note: Irv West has more than 40 years experience

Perfect timing for ‘food revolution’ editorial To the Adirondack Journal: All I can say is “WOW, perfect timing for this editorial.” Through the “Creating Healthy Places Grant” Cornell Cooperative Extension is currently searching to hire a Healthy Foods Educator. The primary responsibility of this program is to educate store owners as to the benefits of consuming healthy fresh produce and to increased visibility and availability of healthful foods in their stores. The educator ’s secondary responsibility would be to teach consumers about health benefits of eating fresh, locally grown produce resulting in the more demand and increased shelf space for the healthy alternatives. Through this program we are hoping to address many of the issues your editorial hit upon. I would like to highlight other programs Cornell Cooperative Extension is involved with to combat the growing epidemic of obesity and poor nutrition choices. In February, Cornell Cooperative Extension will offer a pilot program to help parents and primary caregivers of pre-school children navigate the world of nutrition, physical activity, and parenting through Supporting Healthy Families 2012 which is funded by the Glens Falls Foundation. According to the White House Task Force on Obesity, one in five children are obese by the age of 6. Among low income families, the risk rises to one in three children. This fun, interactive six-week program will explore research based parenting principles matched to healthy lifestyle principles and is facilitated by Cooperative Extension parenting and nutrition educators. This six week program is free of charge and will be held in Queensbury. For the last eleven years Cornell Cooperative Extension in Warren County has facilitated the Eat Smart New York (ESNY) Nutrition Education program. This is a free program for families and individuals who are eligible to receive Food Stamps. ESNY is an exciting program where nutrition educators will meet with you either individually or in a group, in your home or community setting, to help you learn about: nutrition, meal planning, healthy food shopping on a budget, cooking and food safety, weight control and physical activity, and much more. Again, this is a free program and the only cost to you is your time and the benefits last a life time. Cornell Cooperative Extension also has a wealth of information on growing your own fruits and vegetables. We have a dedicated team of Master Gardeners who would love to get you started in planning your first garden. If you do not have space for a garden contact our Community Gardens Coordinator to find a local community garden near you. If you have any question regarding these program contact Cornell Cooperative Extension of Warren County 518-6233291 or 668-4881.

A history lesson for Protect the Adirondacks! To the Adirondack Journal: Charles C. Morrison, as a board member of Protect the Adirondacks!, has had published a letter to the editor in local newspapers under the headline "Protect the Adirondacks! gives Tahawus rail line history lesson.” As an amateur historian myself I applaud applying the lessons of history to help us make informed decisions for the future. Unfortunately, Mr. Morrison's letter is light on the history and heavy on the rhetoric. Among other items, Mr. Morrison indicates that “In 1941 the federal government wantonly violated Article 14 and private landowners when it took ease-
ments for the right-of-way.” Wantonly, according to my dictionary, means “immoral or unchaste, gratuitously cruel, merciless, marked by unprovoked gratuitous maliciousness.” This was clearly not the case. In 1941 the United States was in a fight for its life. The titanium that would be mined and shipped was crucial to our war effort. Mr. Morrison's inflammatory language puts in question his entire "history lesson.” I urge the Surface Transportation Board to dismiss such alarmists talk and focus on the facts: principally, (1) the use of those rail lines for freight traffic is a pre-existing use, (2) at a time when most of us are concerned about the environment and carbon emissions, the use of rail is environmentally friendly, and (3) the unique experiment here in the Adirondacks of viable human communities in a protected wilderness mandates some support for those human communities. Newcomb and most of Essex County has historically had some of the highest unemployment rates in the state of New York. Use of these old rail lines might help mitigate that situation. Glenn L. Pearsall North Creek Author of "Echoes in These Mountains" and year-round resident of the Adirondack Park since 1964
Train not an efficient mode of transportation To the Adirondack Journal: We should not fall prey to the false belief that a train is the most efficient form of transportation. It is only efficient when the it is carrying a large payload. People are not efficiently transported by rail. Based on information in the U.S. Transportation Energy Data Book, a 200-mile trip by train with a 40 passenger load would consume the equivalent of 2.72 gallons of gasoline per person. A bus with 40 passengers would consume 1.62 gallons per person. A van carrying six people would consume 2.34, and a car with four people 2.42 gallons. If the train were to carry more passengers it would have to add eight times more vehicle weight per passenger than a car, so to be efficient the train would have to put 1650 people on a car and fill 100 cars. The train requires more people to operate, it spends a long time idling, and it has minimal pollution requirements. When you increase the number of stops, train efficiency drops. There are hidden costs also, the vegetation along the tracks is controlled with herbicides, right next to the river and streams. We subsidize the railroad, a Gore lift ticket/transportation package is only $70, but just the Gore ticket is $75. The town board voted to allow the railroad to use Tannery Pond twice a week for free, letting the other users and the taxpayers foot the bill. Just wait until the rail repairs start. It costs about $350,000 per mile to refurbish an existing rail bed. The railroad only has to pay for the first $50,000 per mile, the taxpayers are on the hook for the rest. The train kills economic diversity of the region, reducing economic activity outside its location. The train doesn't stop at the store and buy gas and groceries, if you are not located by a station it could reduce your opportunities. Even if you are lucky enough to benefit from the train, about the only jobs it will create are service jobs. These are menial labor jobs, not a career, that allows you to get ahead in life, or even get a mortgage. Peter Heid Johnsburg
It’s hard to find U.S. made juice in stores To the Adirondack Journal: Regarding your editorial “food revolution.” We really should make people aware that it is almost impossible to buy juice grown in USA. It is from China, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, etc. With the most wonderful apples in this state, why are we buying Chinese juice? People should read more labels when they shop, and labels should easier to read! Elise Epple

Business group from page 1 the feasibility of snocross races being held later this winter at Green Mansions Resort. Snocross is a name for snowmobile races on a course constructed with banks, turns and jumps. A meeting is scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday, Jan. 20, 9 at Green Mansions and those who’d like to help with the sled event are urged to attend. Also, a suggestion was made at the TriLakes Business Alliance meeting to ask officials of the Northern Warren Trailblazers to see if ATVs could utilize their snowmobile trails during the spring, summer and fall months. This is done in other communities with extensive trail systems, and could provide a boost to the economy during these less busy months, Alliance members said. Butler noted he is working on developing a rumrunner and moonshine weekend, tentatively set for Aug. 23 through 25, 2013. Pam Morin, who so successfully developed Chestertown’s annual Halloween Pug Party & Parade fest, has been planning the bootlegger-themed weekend for years. The event is to be held during the bicentennial year of Warren County, and a parade through Pottersville is scheduled for Aug. 24, 2013 — and the rumrunner participants will likely be driving their antique autos in the procession. The weekend might include a mock race of the motorcars, with their drivers and passengers garbed in clothes of the 1920s. Morin said this week that Chestertown was reputed to be a popular stop-off for bootleggers who were transporting liquor between New York City and Montreal, and that the Remington Building downtown may have been a secretive gambling joint. Morin, who serves as Events Coordinator for the First Wilderness Heritage Corridor, is guest speaker at the Alliance’s February meeting. A Farmers Market was suggested for the summer months with fresh produce and homemade goods and crafts including bakery items, jewelry, and quilts. Don Butler of Panther Mountain Inn reported the presentations he and others made recently to Chester officials regarding the extension of snowmobile trails into the town center — and exploring the feasibility

Warren County and the state Department of Transportation are planning to install porous pavement that will allow precipitation to drain right through it, rather than collect in puddles or flow into storm sewer drains that now dump the dirty water into Lake George, Warren County Public Works Superintendent Jeff Tennyson said. “Water will drop right through the porous pavement, which maintains traction much better and has far less ice build-up,” he said. Instead, the water will be soaked up and filtered naturally in the roadbed — and several treatment devices to be installed under the pavement — leading to slow, sure purification, he added. “Every drop of water hitting Beach Road will be filtered by three to four feet of sand and gravel before it gets the lake,” he said. Tennyson said the innovative roadway, serving as a pilot project, will demonstrate that porous roadways are practical — and likely boost Lake George’s fame. “With its experimental features, this project is the first of its kind in New York State and will bring Lake George attention on a national level,” he said. “There couldn’t be a better location for this.” Warren County Soil and Water Conservation District Director Dave Wick also praised the project. He helped in lining up a $416,000 grant to pay for the environmentally-friendly pavement. He noted this week that the project has al-

The idea latter was well received, and Butler as well as various town officials scheduled a meeting with state Dept. of Environmental Conservation officials for Jan. 26 to obtain more information. Butler also aired a request with the town about opening up village streets or sidewalks to snowmobiles. It was decided that those supporting the change need to present the concept to the board earlier next year to strategize how to accomplish it, while addressing public safety and quality of life concerns. It was noted at the meeting that the upcoming Brant Lake Ice Fishing Tournament has been rescheduled for February 4 because of unsafe lake conditions. New ideas raised at the meeting include improved signage directing people into downtown Chestertown. Linda Muench volunteered to head this committee pursuing this objective. Glens Falls Economic & Community Development Director Edward Bartholomew will be guest speaker at the next meeting of the Alliance, set for 9 a.m. Friday, Jan. 27 at the Panther Mountain Inn. He’s likely to talk about the work of the Adirondack Gateway Council, a consortium of municipalities in Warren, Washington and northern Saratoga counties that's developing a regional plan for housing, transportation, broadband, sustainable living and economic development — bankrolled with a $750,000 federal grant. Details on Alliance meetings can be found at www.wix.com/cmead3/Tri-Lakes-Business-Alliance. (Adirondack Journal Editor Thom Randall contributed to this report.)
ready spurred a lot of interest among municipal engineers and environmentalists. “This is one of the most important water quality improvement projects ever in Lake George,” he said, adding that only one other heavily-traveled roadway he knows of — one in Augusta Maine — incorporates porous pavement. Wick said demonstrations have shown that the pavement can drain up to 3 inches of rainfall in a storm event without runoff, as well as soaking up water from melting snow. It also allows up to 70 percent reduction of the use of salt, which would otherwise add to the lake pollution. The porous pavement is to be installed between Canada St. and Fort George Road, and in a stretch east of the Million Dollar parking lot to state Rte. 9L. The pavement is part of a $6 million-plus road reconstruction project which is to replace the entire roadbed and include new sidewalks. Advertising for bids is likely to occur in late winter, with construction to start in mid-April, Tennyson said. Because of the scope of the project, it’s likely to be completed in 18 months or so, he said, noting that state transportation officials are now reviewing the final plans. “We’re waiting for the final nod from the state,” Tennyson said. The porous pavement is made up of special peasized stones held together in asphalt and polymer binder, and doesn’t include the smaller size gravel or sand in the mix, Wick said. The result is a pavement that resembles Rice Crispy
Treats, Tennyson said. His deputy, Kevin Hajos, noted that it’s proven itself in Maine to hold up well under extremely heavy traffic, as well as saving the expense of installing storm drains. Tennyson said that all but 5 percent of the project’s primary cost would be shouldered by the state and federal government. He added that the businesses along the busy roadway will benefit from the reconstruction, noting the existing road and sidewalk are in poor condition. “This project will be an incredible improvement, and it’s a showcase road for Warren County,” he said. “It’s very important to the local and county economy.” Lynn Rosenthal of the Lake George Association, which was among the environmental groups suggesting the pavement innovation, praised the project. “Stormwater is the number-one threat to the lake water quality, and this project will really have substantial benefits for the southern end of the lake,” she said. Rosenthal also noted that the road reconstruction will mean no more deep puddles will collect on Beach Road. “In a rain storm, pedestrians won’t have to jump and make a run for it when they see vehicles approaching,” she said. Rosenthal said the green pavement, installed in such a famous village, will publicize ways other communities in the U.S. can protect their waterways. “This is new technology and we get a lot of visitors,” she said. “It will spread the word, which will be great for many other freshwater bodies around the nation.”

surveys and interviews are scheduled for the near future. Based on the success that the Town of Chester has experienced already in their solar panel installations, Muratori said she had high hopes for the solar energy initiative. “This is one of the things we can do to boost our sustainability locally, as we increase our efforts to rely on our community resources,” she said. The two boards resolved to move forward on the project, as consultants have warned that federal incentives for solar conversion are expiring soon. Harrington said there’s plenty of room at the northwest edge of the parking lot at the village-town hall complex for a lineup of solar panels, which are 16 feet deep. He also said there was plenty of space at the village landfill. The solar conversion project in Chester is virtually complete, with solar panels installed at the town landfill and garage, and yet to be completed at the town ski area, health center and Municipal Center. When completed in several months, the project is expected to save 10 percent to 25 percent on electric bills, while producing no carbon dioxide pollution. Chester is leasing its solar panels from an engineering firm and an investor group, which are shouldering all construction costs in return for a portion of the revenue from the electricity generation. Over the 10-year life of the contract, taxpayers are expected to save as much as $50,000. Muratori said that the village and town will examine this option, as well as outright purchase of the equipment — which would mean a sizeable investment but heftier returns.

Lake George Town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson said he was also enthusiastic about converting to solar energy. “This puts Lake George on the ‘inside list’ for sustainable energy projects, and gets us known as progressive,” he said. In other business, the two boards vowed to coordinate Occupancy Tax grants to organizations sponsoring events. Also, village mayor Robert Blais convinced town leaders to split an $8,000 fee for the Big Apple Circus to use the festival space at the former Gaslight Village. The circus officials have balked at various costs, and have asked municipalities to pick up the tab. The village and town officials said Tuesday they’d take the $4,000 each from their Occupancy Tax receipts in an effort to persuade the circus to set up in Lake George this summer for the circus’ tentatively scheduled two-week run. The town board members also agreed in concept to contribute towards the Lake George Skateboard Park, also set for development at the festival space. Blais said that about $45,000 has been raised for the venue, about half of the money that’s needed. He said that the most recent plans call for the skateboarding park to be competitiongrade, so sanctioned competitive events can be held there. The town and village boards voted to consolidate their lifeguard staffs and hire one seasonal “waterfront director” to oversee the beach personnel. And the two boards also selected members of their panels to serve on intermunicipal committees to explore shared services or outright consolidation of various local departments — highways, buildings and grounds, planning and zoning, sewer and water. “We’re looking forward to working together on the challenge of saving taxpayers’ money,” Blais said. “We’ve got optimism and great hopes.”

Ed, Kathi Kokalas to be honored at Winter Carnival By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — For years, a local couple has devoted countless volunteer hours year-round to organizing the Lake George Winter Carnival, a four-weekend extravaganza of outdoor events. Now, they’re stepping down from active leadership of the carnival, considered the premier event of its kind in the region. Ed and Kathi Kokalas will be honored for their years of work at the Lake George Winter Carnival’s annual Kickoff Gala DinnerDance, to be held Saturday, Jan. 28 at Dunham’s Bay Resort. While the revelers at the popular event will undoubtedly be enjoying silent auctions, musical entertainment and socializing, the spotlight will be on the Kokalases. The recognition will be for their 14 years of dedicated work to make the Winter Carnival such a success, Carnival official Nancy Nichols said. “Ed and Kathi have had such enthusiasm and such passion for the Winter Carnival, she said. “They’ve always been so busy, day or night, between selling ads, distributing programs, selling souvenirs, helping with polar plunge, coordinating weekly cook-off

NW Chamber seeks nominations
Rotarians bankroll library roof
CHESTERTOWN — The North Warren Chamber of Commerce is now seeking nominations for its two coveted annual awards: their VIP of the Year and Small Business of the Year. The VIP of the Year is nominated on the basis of service to the community, special project involvement, service in elected office, or being a good neighbor. The Small Business of the Year Award recognizes a business that has grown and made contributions to the community over the past year. Nominations can be submitted by filling out a form at the Chamber building, Route 8, Chestertown. A dinner recognizing both winners is scheduled for May. For details, call 518-494-2722 or stop by the Chamber building.
LAKE GEORGE — The Caldwell-Lake George Library recently installed a new roof on their 105-year-old building on Canada St. in Lake George Village, and the local Rotary Club is helping pay for it. After the Rotarians heard that the library’s leaky roof threatened the library’s collections, they pledged $3,000 to roof repairs, and their money enabled completion of the project. The money was raised through the club’s annual motorcycle raffle in conjunction with the Americade motorcycle rally. The Caldwell-Lake George Library’s officers recently expressed appreciation for the donation, which will provide tangible benefits for the entire community.
dents more involved. During the Kokalas’ involvement, the Carnival has undergone a transition — from being primarily a spectator event into one that engages people of all ages in activities. The races of various motorized vehicles still are featured, but the Carnival now features a spectrum of children’s games, contests and craft sessions, dog sled rides, kite flying and demonstrations, beach volleyball and ladder ball, among other activities. Ed Kokalas’ signature contribution to the lineup of games, Nichols said, is turkey bowling. “Ed comes up with the craziest ideas, but they always seem to work,” she said. One of his ideas wasn’t so crazy. Kokalas was instrumental in launching the weekly bonfires — complete with live musical entertainment — that are now an immensely popular feature. It was Kokalas — whose family enjoyed backyard campfires — that introduced the idea of Carnivalgoers creating and consuming s’mores around the bonfires, a ritual that attracts hundreds. Kokalas has also arranged to get area
teenagers involved, lining up school clubs or the Warren County Youth Court members to conduct the children’s games through the Carnival’s four-week run. Meanwhile, Kathi Kokalas served as treasurer during an era of transition, from a time of meager public financial support to more substantial municipal contributions that now assure the Carnival’s tenure. Also, she’s served as the media contact, available at all hours, to provide information and publicity. During her years in the role, the Carnival’s fame has increased, Nichols said. Kathi’s contributions, Nichols said, have been substantial in the minor tasks too — whether it was pasting identifying numbers on thousands of plastic forks for the cookoff events, answering dozens of inquiries on the Carnival’s phone answering machine, assembling raffle gift baskets or updating the event’s Facebook page. “Kathi and Ed have been so dedicated,” Nichols said. “If we could, we’d never let them go.” The Kokalas’ Carnival involvement started in 2003, when they were new local residents, and they ran into former event chairman Garry Grant, who urged them to get involved, Kathi Kokalas said. “We worked for years to make it more family-friendly, and we’ve enjoyed seeing it develop and become more and more popular,” she said. The Kokalases said they are stepping away from leadership roles in the Carnival to pay more attention to Ed’s parents who are 97 and 95, as well as take months off annually in Florida. “It’s time to loosen up our commitments,” Ed said. “We’ve had a lot of fun, made a lot of good friends, and we’re very honored to be chosen for this recognition.” Tickets for the dinner-dance, $45 each, are available at Prospect Mountain Diner, Duffy’s Tavern, Mario’s Restaurant and Tina’s Hair Affair. Entertainment will be provided by Richie Ortiz and Total Entertainment deejay. Cocktails begin at 6 p.m. Dunham’s Bay Resort is located on Rte. 9L on the east side of Lake George.

What to do when beginning an exercise regimen At the dawn of a new calendar year, many people decide it's time to turn over a new leaf and shed those extra pounds that accumulated over the previous 12 months. The resolve to lose weight is perhaps never stronger than at the beginning of a calendar year, when the holiday season has passed but those added inches on the waistline remain. Though it's noble to want to lose weight and improve health, regardless of what time of year it is, there are precautions men and women should take before beginning a new exercise regimen. •Visit your physician. It's best to get a full physical before beginning an exercise regimen. A full physical can re-
veal if you have any health problems that might limit what you should and shouldn't be doing at the gym. If anything turns up, your physician can develop a plan of attack for you to address the issue. If nothing turns up, then your doctor will probably give you the green light to go forward with few, if any, limitations. •Conduct a self-assessment. Once you've visited the doctor and received the go-ahead to start working out, do an honest self-assessment to see where you are in terms of fitness. Walk a mile and time yourself. Do as many push-ups and sit-ups as possible, but be careful to stretch and not push yourself. This self-assessment should not be demanding. Instead, the goal is to gauge where you are and how your body feels when doing some simple exercises. •Establish your goals. The goal of most people beginning a new exercise regimen is to lose weight. However, there are other incentives as well. For example, some people might be starting to train for a marathon or another sporting event. Whatever the reason, know why you're getting started, as such goals can help you monitor your progress as the year goes on. •Start slowly. Caution should reign supreme when beginning an exercise regimen. Diving into the deep end at the onset increases the risk of injury, which could limit activity for months to come. First get your body acclimated to exercise, then gradually challenge yourself as you see fit.

•Leave time to recover. Though it might feel rejuvenating to get back to exercising, it's important for everyone, but especially those who are just starting, to allow themselves some time to recover. Allow your muscles and joints to recover between workout sessions. Frequency of sessions can increase as your body gets acclimated, but at first allow a day or two between sessions so your body can recover. •Listen to your body. Exercising after a long hiatus from routine exercise won't be easy, and your body is likely going to tell you that through certain aches and pains, if not nausea, dizziness or shortness of breath. If any of these symptoms appear, take a break. This could be your body telling you that you're asking too much and you need to take your foot off the gas pedal for a little while. •Consider hiring a personal trainer. Many people are overwhelmed when entering a gym after a long time away. If you find yourself intimidated or simply don't know where to begin, hire a personal trainer. Many charge by-the-session, so you can learn which machines to use and how to use them after a session or two and then continue working out on your own. If joining a gym as a new member, the gym might offer a couple of complementary personal training sessions. If so, take full advantage of this offer.

How to use diet to supplement your workout routine Men and women who have successfully adopted healthy lifestyles know full well that combining exercise with a healthy diet is the key to getting and staying healthy. Simply visiting the gym won't work if it's not coupled with a healthy diet. The following are some of the steps men and women can take to ensure their workouts aren't losing their effectiveness due to unhealthy eating habits. •Start the day off with a healthy breakfast. Many foods make healthy breakfast options, including fruit and wholegrain cereals. Unfortunately, on-the-go men and women often reach for what's readily available, and what's readily available isn't necessarily healthy. Avoid breakfast sandwiches that are high in fat and calories, and avoid eating fried foods for breakfast. Working out on an empty stomach can cause feelings of lightheadedness. In addition, many people are sluggish if they exercise on an empty stomach, which can make workouts less effective. If eating before a morning workout isn't your thing, consider going with a small snack before beginning your routine. If even that is not ideal, then consider a snack before bedtime. •Reassess your snacking habits. If greasy potato chips or sleep-inducing baked goods like brownies are your idea of the perfect snack, then it's time to reassess your snacking habits. Snacks should not induce sleep, but provide a little extra energy and reduce any hunger pangs. Fresh fruit, yogurt, energy bars, and even whole-grain crackers with a little peanut butter each make for a healthy snack. •Let food help your muscles recover. Foods that contain protein and carbohydrates can actually help your muscles recover after a workout. Yogurt, fruit, dried fruit, and nuts make great post-workout food options, and none will negate the effect of that grueling workout you just finished. The longer you wait to eat after exercising, the longer it will take your muscles to recover. •Stay hydrated. When exercising, your body will lose a significant amount of water, which can cause the body to dehydrate. Drink water before and after your workout, and
don't forget to focus on staying hydrated during your workout as well. Daily exercise is essential to longterm health. But all those hours in the gym won't pay off if they're not combined with healthy eating habits.

Keeping Life In Motion
Weight loss promises too good to be true By Bonnie Sprinkle Certified Personal Trainer
T
he year 2011 has been a year of supposed miracle diets, some say medical breakthroughs. Many in modern society are convinced that a miracle cure for obesity is just around the corner, or perhaps here already. One such program advocates a 500 calorie a day diet. Dr. Oz says that he recommends at least 1,200 calories of a balanced diet daily and that the hCG diet doesn’t really work. But he says the diet gives hope to those who have given up on losing weight. (you can read more about this in a 5-part video at www.doctoroz.com, from his pages search hcg diet). Well, I have to say that is just the type of thinking that has led to the obesity epidemic. What good is losing weight if you sacrifice your health for it? What good is losing lots of weight fast only to gain back more? Instead of giving false hope with a dangerous diet wouldn’t it be nice to promote common
sense, moderation, variety in diet, fueling the body with whole foods and moderate activity. You know — living and enjoying life. The FDA has recently stated that “All hCG diet products for weight loss are illegal.” You can read it for yourself at: www.fda.gov/ForConsumers and search hCG diet. That being said how many people will listen? Our society has been programmed to look for weight loss no matter the consequences, no matter the health risks. What if a diet product had a label that warned of horrible side effects BUT you’ll lose 10 pounds a week, how many people would do it anyway? From the number of ads and web sites promoting these types of diet products it seems there are many people willing to try anything to lose weight going from product to product, from one crazy diet to another. After all, the ads and hype show people having great results. No wonder people start to feel that it is impossible to lose weight or tone up. The internet is full
of companies marketing questionable diets. Their web pages are professional looking, have links to testimonials showing happy results and of course you are able to just click to order. Magazines have advertoials neatly tucked between the real editorials, look for the fine print across the top or bottom of the page. Even our real news shows have “fake news” reports about the next newest health trend. Studies from sources promoting their own products and so on. Consumer Reports online (www.consumerreports.org) recently wrote about the recent rash of “fake news reports” promoting the acai berry. How many reports did you hear about acai berry being oh so healthy. Maybe even a miracle product. Again some really good marketing and the public just jumps on board to spend some more on the next fad. It probably didn’t hurt to add this juice to your diet, but was it a miracle product. Nope just some good juice, overpriced… but tasty, I’m told. The Department of Agri-

Ambulance squad is staffed
North Country artists Jeffrey Anderson and Jenny Horstman have joined forces to present their awardwinning equine art at the Buttondown Gallery, located at suite #110 in The Shirt Factory in Glens Falls. The show, called “ForgeWorks”, opens January 28th and runs through March 17th. There will be an artists’ reception from 2-6 pm on Saturday, February 4th. Jenny Horstman recently received a grant from the New York State Council for the Arts, administered through the Lower Adirondack Regional Arts Council (LARAC). She is currently creating a life-sized tow mule for a work to be placed along the Lake Champlain Canal. The head study for this piece will be on display at the show. Horstman is an award-winning sculptor known for her life-sized horse and wildlife pieces made from welded tools, springs, chains, and other recovered metal. Highly regarded for their anatomical precision, Horstman’s sculptures breathe the movement and life of prey and predator into each piece. She currently resides in Fort Ann, where she has a studio at her home. Jeffrey Anderson is an international award-winning equine photographer whose work evokes Baroque and Renaissance styles. In this show, Anderson has worked extensively to enhance these influences and create a timeline of European art history which will range from medieval through early English influences. Anderson and Horstman see the show as a connection of two artists whose equine works carry amazing similarities despite the differences in media. “The energy Jeff shows in his work is the very same as what I try to capture in my pieces”, says Horstman. “We feel this will show dramatically as we place the works side-by-side.” Anderson is the owner of the Jeffrey Anderson Gallery in the Shirt Factory. He resides in Granville NY with his wife Laura and their three-monthold son Jay. 76276

Property tax deadline this week A reminder to Thurman landowners, that for property taxes paid in January there’s no penalty, but in February, a one percent fee will be added to unpaid tax bills. Thurman ax collector Michele Prybylski is scheduled to be on duty at the Thurman Town Hall from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday to receive tax payments.
Trash collection ends this week Note that Jan. 25 and 26 were the last days for town employees to pick up garbage curbside through town, and Jan. 27 is the last day for recyclables left for pickup to be collected. From now on, household trash is to be deposited at the town landfill, using bags available for purchase at the town hall. New landfill hours starting in February are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, and noon to 3 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday. Trash collection was discontinued by the town board in an effort to avoid a double-digit property tax increase. Thurman was one of the few rural municipalities in the region that collected its household trash.

Local resident Tom Lloyd and many others who received Christmas baskets in December have expressed heartfelt thanks to the kind folks who assembled and delivered these lovely gifts full of edible goodies for the holidays. Thanks go out to the folks who baked and donated and to the stores who gave items. Those receiving the baskets say they truly appreciated being remembered by their kind and generous neighbors. A large pine tree was blown down across Valley Road during the night of Jan. 17 and 18 with the very gusty winds which kept many folks awake. This fallen tree, near the Methodist Church, was discovered by people trying to get to work. It took a while for workers to be called out to clear the roads. The school bus ran a bit late as did the garbage truck and folks going to their jobs. Did you get your historical calendar published by the John Thurman Historical Society for 2012? They are available at the Town Clerks office for $8 a copy.

Village considers allowing overnight stays at public docks By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Concerned with boosting revenue, the Lake George Village Board is considering allowing boats to stay overnight at their public docks — which would be a reversal of their decision about a decade ago to prohibit the practice. Now, boats may dock at the village’s Beach Road piers — for a charge of $2 per hour — only between the hours of 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., for a maximum of 10 hours, during summer. The proposed change would allow docking for a maximum of 24 hours. The concept was raised at a special Village
The Adirondack Mountain Garden Club recently installed its president for 2012, Bill Tierney. He is shown with outgoing president, Brenda White. The next meeting will be Tuesday, Feb. 7 from 10 a.m. until noon at the North Warren EMS Building (across from North Warren School). Members will provide brunch dishes to share. Brenda White will present a slide presentation on her trip to New Zealand. Guests are always welcome, and visitors need not bring a dish.
Board meeting Thursday, Jan. 19. While the prohibition of overnight docking was put in place to prevent a few boaters from monopolizing the docking spaces through a weekend, Blais said the rule had substantially reduced the use of the six village docks off Beach Road. Allowing overnight docking would not only boost revenue for the village, Mayor Robert Blais said, but it would enhance public safety by allowing those boaters patronizing bars to get some sleep before driving off in their craft. “We’d be providing a good service,” he said. “Last year, we had very low use of the docks, and we received emails from people asking to stay overnight.” Other village board members, however, raised questions about how the overnight per-hour fees would be accurately calculated and collected. Village Trustee John Root said some boaters might pull away shortly before the piers were patrolled each morning at 8 a.m. by a dock attendant checking the boats for the payand-display tickets. Trustee John Earl said he also had concerns. “If we go ahead with this, we need a plan in which people will not be able to take advantage,” he said. “We should figure out how to enforce it.” Blais suggested that a dock attendant make both a latenight and early-morning tour of the docks to assure compliance. In other business, the board decided to turn down a request from the Lake George Land Conservancy for the village to buy a plot of land from the conservation group, about 81 acres, adjacent to their Berry Pond Tract — to provide public access to the trails there. The landlocked plot has been offered for sale for about $68,000 although it is presently assessed for about half that sum, village officials said. In other topics discussed at the special meeting, Blais also warned the board members that the village would be facing a budget shortfall due to the loss of about $85,000 in collectable property taxes. The decrease stems from the reduction of about $1 million in the village’s total assessed value. The falling market price of commercial properties, including several hotels, has been blamed for the decrease.
A revaluation project, underway for months, is scheduled for completion this year. A public informational meeting to explain the revaluation process and its impact on taxes is set for Wednesday Jan. 25 at the Lake George Town Hall.
Boat inspection law endorsed In other business, the village board passed a resolution urging the Lake George Park Commission to adopt a law requiring inspections of all boats placed in Lake George for the presence of invasive species, and mandatory decontamination by washing, if necessary. Their vote in favor of the measure follows a similar vote by the Lake George Town board earlier in the week. The law would require marinas and other private boat launch owners and homeowners’ associations to make sure all boats comply with the process. Boats from other bodies of water have been blamed for importing invasive species such as Asian clams or Eurasian Milfoil, which have spread rapidly and prompted a multimillion-dollar invasives control effort in Lake George. Environmentalists have argued that enacting the boat inspection and washing law now and stemming the spread of the invasives soon — while they are relatively contained — is far cheaper than letting nature take its course without the regulations. They cite Lake Tahoe, where boat decontamination regulations were enacted after the invasives became widespread, and an expensive battle is underway to control the fast-proliferating species.
Ethics policies to be revamped In other business, the board agreed to update its Code of Ethics in light of increased statewide attention on such matters. Mayor Blais proposed that the village adopt ethics policies similar to Queensbury’s, noting their code was effective. He observed that the village’s policies were out of date, citing that the village board has for decades been designated as its own ethics board. “That’s like the fox watch over the hen house,” he quipped.

Lois Uhlinger Pelletier Dec. 28, 1920-Dec. 31, 2011 FAIR OAKS, Calif. — Lois Uhlinger Pelletier died surrounded by her family in Fair Oaks, Calif., on Dec. 31, 2011. She was born on Dec. 28, 1920, to a missionary couple serving in the Belgian Congo and came to the United States when she was 15 to finish high school and attend university. With her bachelor of science and RN degrees, she returned home to the Congo as a medical missionary in 1946. In 1948 she was married to Rev. Elwin Pelletier, a Baptist missionary from Minerva, in the Adirondack Mountains. They worked together in the Congo under the Conservative Baptist Foreign Missionary Society for 34 years. In 1981 Elwin contracted a rare lung disease and they retired from the mission field to live in Southern California. After recovering , Elwin worked with the Hospital Chaplains of America until his passing in 2000. Lois served on the board of directors of the Hospital Chaplains for some years. Lois continued giving talks on Africa and took up oil painting in her retirement. She truly enjoyed her family and took every opportunity to be with them. Lois is survived by her three children Karen, Steve and John; three grandchildren Miki, Andrew and Lisa; her sister Betty and her brother Rev. Philip Uhlinger. A celebration of life service and reception was held on Jan. 4, 2012, at the Fair Oaks Presbyterian Church. The Pelletier/Uhlinger family wishes to express their sincere appreciation for the many local people and church congregations that supported this dedicated couple in their missionary service.
