Fund established to aid homeowner displaced by fire

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — A fundraising effort has been launched to help a man whose home was all but destroyed in a fire early Monday, Feb. 4.

The home of Kyle Hubbell, located at 38 Ridge Avenue in Warrensburg, was substantially damaged in the blaze. Most likely, the structure cannot be salvaged.

Hubbell had insurance that only covered the amount he owed for a mortgage on the home, so he won’t have sufficient funds to rebuild or replace the structure, he and his neighbors said Monday.

Hubbell grew up in the home, purchased about 65 years ago by his parents, Lurena and Edward “Hub” Hubbell, he said.

Kyle Hubbell has lived at the home for nearly 20 years, after inheriting it from his parents.

One of Hubbell’s neighbors, Leonard Bradway, has responded to help him out.

Bradway established an account at Glens Falls National to accept donations from the public to help Hubbell recover.

“He lost everything in the fire,” Bradway said. “And he’s been a super neighbor.”

Hubbell said he woke up smelling smoke at about 2:45 a.m., he investigated, and heard crackling in the walls of his balloon-framed home.

Heat from his woodstove’s insulated metal chimney apparently was the source of the blaze, he said.

Hubbell then called 911, grabbed Chantal — his 12year-old Doberman — and put the dog in his car. He then got a fire extinguisher and tried to douse the flames, but it couldn’t quench the fast-developing fire, he said.

“I knocked it down in the wall, but it started up again,” he said noting that the firefighters of the Warrensburg Volunteer Fire Co. were on the scene very soon afterwards. “The fire company did an excellent job,” he said. “I’m just happy nobody got hurt — maybe houses can be rebuilt, but

~SEEKING~ Participants, Organizations or Businesses to Join in Our St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Chestertown, NY March 9th at 1PM

human lives can’t — I’m very grateful.”

The second floor of the home was gutted, as were portions of the first floor, which also suffered considerable water damage.

Temporarily, Hubbell is staying with his sister, Martha Smith on Diamond Point Road, he said, adding that he’d persevere one way or another.

“It could be a lot worse,” he said. “I’m living and breathing, and my dog is okay, and I’m thankful.”

Bradway said that citizens who seek to help out are welcome to send checks to: Kyle Hubbell Recovery Fund, Glens Falls National Bank, 3853 Main St. in Warrensburg.

Bank officials said that such identified donations can be delivered or sent to any branch of Glens Falls National.

Kyle Hubbell’s home at 38 Ridge Ave. in Warrensburg was gutted by fire early Monday, Feb. 4. Hubbell was displaced by the fire, and a fund has been set up at a local bank to assist him in recovering from the loss.

Brant Lake Taxi’s ‘Operation Safe Ride’ successful, sponsors thanked CHESTERTOWN — Brant Lake Taxi, owned and operated by Don Butler and Keith Wilkinson, reported this week that their Operation Safe Ride on New Year ’s Eve was an exceptionally successful program.

The taxi company gave 183 rides to partyers over the New Year ’s Eve holiday, traveling no less than 501 miles to accomplish the feat, according to Mike Turano, program administrator for Operation Safe Ride.

This week, Wilkinson and Butler expressed particular thanks to individuals and businesses that helped out or sponsored the program.

Operation Safe Ride’s guest dispatcher was Cindy Turano, who handled all of the calls. Turano noted that she did a fantastic job.

Butler and Wilkinson also thanked taxi drivers Wendy Meade, Helen Miner and Mike Turano for all their work safely transporting partyers home.

Operation Safe Ride has been in existence for five consecutive years, and has won various awards from public safety agencies.

In 2010, the program was awarded by the Warren County Sheriff's Office for its work that is considered a vital life-saving effort.

Former Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward awarded Operation Safe Ride in 2010, and the next year, similar honors were bestowed on the program by the town of Johnsburg and the Warren County Traffic Safety Board.

Since it was founded in 2008 by Butler, Wilkinson and Turano, Operation Safe Ride has provided a total of 750 free rides over 2,000 miles, Turano said.

“The program was established not only to keep area residents safe, but also to give back to the community for their support throughout the year,” he said. “It has been a huge success and a welcomed event for the past five years.”

Butler credited others for their help in the effort.

“This program isn’t possible without the support of our community and friends,” he said. “We would like to acknowledge our co-sponsors who continue to show their support to help keep our friends and family safe.”

Current co-sponsors of Operation Safe Ride are Basil &

Wicks, the Barking Spider and Adirondack Spirits in North Creek; OP Frederick’s, Gallo Realty, Najer Realty, Adirondack Moonshine, the Chestertown Fire Co. and MacMillen Construction — all in Chestertown; Black Bear Restaurant & Tavern in Pottersville; and Jimbo’s Club of Brant Lake.

Valentine Hit Parade II set for Feb. 9 NORTH CREEK — “Valentine Hit Parade II,” a romantic musical concert and champagne reception to benefit the Adirondack Community Outreach Center, will be at 8 p.m. Feb. 9 at the Tannery Pond Community Center.

The Copperfield Inn will serve a few pre-theater dinner specials after 5 p.m. in Trapper ’s Tavern, and following the concert many local restaurants and board members are donating a sweet, savory or wine for the reception.

Tickets are $20 in advance; $25 at the door. Send checks made out to the ACOC to: PO Box 301, North Creek, NY 12853. For more information, please contact Carolyn Bischoff at 251-9808.

Mayor should be more vested in arts & culture

L

ast week Vision 2 Action, a forward-thinking group of business owners and concerned citizens in Plattsburgh, held a progress report at the Strand Theater in downtown Plattsburgh.

It turns out, there was a lot to talk about, and the event was well attended by people representing the arts and businesses in the area. We couldn’t help but notice that Plattsburgh Mayor Donald Kasprzak was not among them.

It can be argued that Kasprzak was not invited, and maybe that’s true. But it was an open-to-the-community event, held by people within the community, for people within the community. And Plattsburgh is his community, after all.

V2A has had several applause worthy victories over the past year, including the new Saranac River bike path and further renovations on the Strand. They have also held discussions to generate ideas for future projects involving, education, recreation, transportation and the arts. Slowly but surely, their vision, and their action, is becoming more prominent in Plattsburgh.

If things go as planned, the Strand Theatre will be open this summer, and will be linked with the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts, which will morph into the Strand Arts Center. Local business owners are already buzzing with excitement in anticipation of the people the theater will draw to the city.

The two downtown galleries–NCCCA and ROTA–were represented at the event.

Both have become fixtures in the community, bringing in artists, and art enthusiasts, from around the region to Plattsburgh.

It seems that the arts are finally here to stay in Plattsburgh, and with them will come people, who will spend money, which will encourage economic growth and development. One only has to look across the lake to Burlington to see what an integral role the arts can play in a thriving downtown.

In short, the event was a pretty big deal.

We can give the mayor a pass — he’s busy, for sure, and maybe something came up.

Or maybe not.

In December, the NCCCA held its annual Holiday Member Show. The turnout was

encouraging — people filled the newlyrenovated gallery space, and many talked about going to grab a bite to eat or a drink downtown after leaving the exhibition.

Congressman Bill Owens even showed up, but Kasprzak did not.

In January, ROTA Gallery brought in an artist from Saranac Lake, and an artist from Montreal. Word spread and people stopped by. Mayor Kasprzak did not.

As an elected official, the mayor should be doing more than what he thinks the city needs–he should be listening to his electorate and helping them achieve what they want.

We certainly commend the mayor for his fiscal prudence, but there is more to the job than that. Much more.

It isn’t like that in every town. Saranac Lake Mayor Clyde Rabideau is a very active participant in his community — the people of Plattsburgh certainly remember his tenure as mayor there. Lake George Mayor Robert Blais is another, along with Keeseville Mayor Dale Holderman and Jay Town Supervisor Randy Douglas — all of whom are active participants in their communities. They don’t just show up at events, either. They work with local groups, organize and even participate in events and are involved in discussions on how to improve their towns.

Perhaps those men understand that a few ideas can go a long way in a community. For years it was easy to dismiss revitalizing a theater, creating art galleries and making a bike path as pipe dreams. But they’re here. People made them happen, and now Plattsburgh is going through a reawakening.

The people putting these projects into motion know that, in order to get jobs, Plattsburgh has to give a little, too.

Through hard work and an extraordinary amount of patience and perseverance, people have started bringing the things they want to Plattsburgh. It is a testament, not only to the determination of some who reside here, but to the fact that people want arts and culture in Plattsburgh so much they are willing to go after it themselves.

And it’s working, even if the mayor isn’t among those participating.

America: Land of mediocrity

N

ewly proposed legislation pending in Congress touted as giving women a new weapon in the battle for equal pay as well as protecting workers from retaliation could just be the final straw that breaks the American competitive sprit, if passed.

The legislation, dubbed the “Paycheck Fairness Act,” is designed to keep companies from responding against an employee who discusses sensitive salary information with another employee.

It would also mandate that owners prove differences in pay scale are not related to someone’s gender but instead to business necessity and performance on the job.

The operative word here is prove.

I’ve been operating private businesses that deal with vendors and employees, and have sat on boards overseeing nonprofit organizations for nearly 40 years.

I’ve been a part of hiring, working with, and seen first-hand thousands of men and women of all ages, races and any other category you care to divide people into. As with any situation or experience there will never be exactly the same set of circumstances for every individual, in every walk of life. Every person and every situation is unique. Does discrimination happen? Absolutely, I’m sure it does, but is it rampant across all organizations? No, not even close.

The idea that government will ride in and save the day for women and down trodden workers who are forced to work for unfair wages is just another political gimmick, sugar coated to dull the competitive edge of the American worker.

Like a tenured teacher or a super star athlete who was just awarded a big time multi-year contract with a large signing bonus, once you remove the competitive edge, in what some call leveling the playing field, you’ve effectively lowered the bar and removed all motivation to exceed the norm. The norm is what you’ll get.

Performance and production are critical to American industry. Self confidence and sheer competence are traits that keep employers and employees focused on reaching the same goal. If you are capable, work hard and produce desired results you become indispensable to your employer — that is unless those same skills at a lower rate of pay are readily

available in the market place. Each of us must distinguish ourselves with a work ethic, Dan Alexander not only to Thoughts from an emBehind the Pressline ployer but more importantly to yourself.

If you feel you are underpaid for the job you perform, find a new job or better yet start your own business. That’s the spirit this country was built on and it’s exactly the same in all walks of life and in all organizations large and small. But if you lack confidence in your abilities or aren’t interested in the highly competitive world we live in today, but want the same pay as someone similarly employed, this legislation is just one more anchor around the neck of this country’s economic engine. Fending off lawsuits and seeking fairness will stall progress and cause one simple solution — pay everyone the same rate of pay. Once that happens why should anyone compete when we will all be treated the same regardless of output?

Parent and teacher advocates have been warning us for years to let our children learn failure at a young age when the stakes are smaller and can be overcome. Legislation like the Paycheck Fairness Act will only perpetuate what kids are experiencing in many facets of their lives where everyone wins regardless of effort. High standards and excellence are only borne out of hard work and a steadfast desire to be the very best.

Yes, “luck” plays a role, but people who are driven find ways to overcome those obstacles. Accepting anything less than your very best puts us on a path to mediocrity and as any athlete will tell you; to compete is an honor but to win is a thrill unlike any other. Just Ask the Raven’s or better yet ask the 49’ers about their motivation for next year. True champions build on adversity.

100 Years Ago - February 1913 Woodchopper’s grit Gordon Smith of Riverside, while at work alone in the woods near that place on Jan. 30, 1913, broke his left leg and dragging the useless member, crawled half a mile over the rough and semi-frozen ground before he found help to assist him to his home. When rescued, he was nearly exhausted and had assistance been delayed a few hours he might have succumbed to the intense pain of his injury and weakness caused by his terrible struggle to get out of the woods.

Smith had been cutting wood when the accident occurred. He had just felled a tree and was trimming the limbs off from the underside when the tree turned over and dropped down striking his leg in its descent and breaking it above the knee. The desperate man called for help but there was no one to hear him in such a lonely spot. He braved the excruciating pain and started to crawl to the nearest road. After going about half a mile he attracted the attention of a passing teamster and was taken to his home.

A local physician advised that his condition was so serious that he be taken to the Albany Hospital and this was done the next day.

Looking death square in the face Dennis Logans, the hustling proprietor of Warrensburgh’s smallest grocery store — located on upper Hudson St. — was nearly put out of business by a peculiar accident of which he was the victim. On Feb. 3, 1913 he had been downtown in the Lewisville (River St.) neighborhood on a bicycle and was

crossing the Osborne Bridge on his return when his wheel struck a little hummock of ice on the bridge and he took a header, pitching head foremost under the railing on the lower side of the bridge.

Fortunately his foot caught in the ironwork and held him for a minute until he could draw himself back to safety. His hat went into the swollen river and was quickly swept down-stream in the swift current and disappeared under the ice. The same fate would surely have befallen him had he made a clean passage under the railing. He is grateful to have escaped a watery grave.

Fire rages in Burnhamville The barn on Bert Harvey’s place on the Thurman Road just below the paper mill, was burned Feb. 5, 1913 together with all of its contents.

A fine four-year-old colt owned by Charles Hall of Thurman, stabled in the barn by his son, who is employed at the paper mill and a cow owned by Mrs. Harvey, were burned as it was impossible to get them out after the fire was discovered. The house also caught fire but the flames were put out by a crew of men from the paper mill before much damage could take place.

‘Zero’ hits thin ice Edwin J. Worden, proprietor of the Arlington Hotel in Lake George, miraculously escaped serious injury Feb. 4, 1913, while sailing on his iceboat, “Zero,” which he had been racing against his boat, “Jack” which was handled by August Wilson. He was taking full advantage of the high wind and pursuing as direct a course to the goal as possible. He sailed so close to where the lake was

Activities & events in Thurman Thurman Emergency Medical Services is holding a public meeting at 10 a.m. Saturday Feb. 9 at their squad building to share ideas about how to keep their ambulance services operating in town. All are invited to attend and discuss solutions to the financial shortfall the squad is experiencing.

The Thurman Town Board is scheduled to hold a meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday Feb. 12 —and reportedly it should be quite an event, considering the widespread public interest in the future of emergency medical services in town. This issue has prompted a lot of discussion — particularly lately after it became clear that Thurman’s independent ambulance squad needs money to avoid shutting down.

Valentines for Vets is to be held Saturday Feb. 9 at the Thurman Town Hall from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. At this traditional town-sponsored event, local children create valentines for our veterans and enjoy refreshments. This free activity is sponsored by the Thurman Youth Commission.

The Sugarloaf Mountain Seniors Club will meet the third Saturday of February and March. Membership is still only $10 for a year. Contact Norma at 623- 9425 to join.

The Thurman Quilting Group holds their meetings every Monday from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the town hall. For details, contact Myra at 623-2633.

The Thurman Food Pantry will be open on the first Monday of the month from 1p.m. to 2 p.m., and Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. all other weeks.

Remember that Thurman will be celebrating Maple Days the three weekends in mid-March, so save at least one of the dates for a tour of the maple farms as well as the famed Nettle Meadow Farm with its cheese-making operation.

The PTSA Spaghetti Dinner & Silent Auction will be held from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday Feb. 9 at the Haskell Brothers VFW Hall on Main St. in Warrensburg. The fee for dinner is $7 for adults and $5 for children.

Bicentennial from page 1 Warrensburgh, as it was known until the mid-1930s, was carved out of the town of Thurman, which from that founding day forward was known as the town of Athol. Since then, it reverted back to its former name.

Apparently no minutes were taken of this founding meeting. The first meeting of the town of Warrensburgh was held in April of that year, according to town Historian Sandi Parisi. The following meeting, held in May 1813, was the first for which minutes have been recorded. Notable action from this meeting was a vote to appropriate $50 for support of the poor, as well as establish-

not frozen, the forward runners of the boat broke through the thin ice.

As the boat was traveling at nearly a mile a minute, Mr. Worden was thrown with great force against the steering wheel and one of his thighs were badly lacerated, a four-inch incision being inflicted.

The boat was uninjured and with the assistance of some spectators standing near, Mr. Worden fastened rope to the forward part of the craft and hauled it onto thicker ice. Although suffering considerable pain, Mr. Worden resumed the sailing.

Besides the two Worden boats, the Fort William Henry Hotel had, despite the thin ice, two other fast boats on the lake that day in readiness for the Feb.18, 1913 races. (Note: Edwin J. Worden was supervisor of Lake George from 1910 to 1917. He was a remarkable man who well earned a secure place in Lake George history.)

Change in the weather The morning of Feb. 10, 1913, the mercury dropped to 14 degrees below zero to become the coldest morning of the season. This cold snap which struck old Mother Earth so suddenly after a prolonged season of comparatively warm weather, caused the old dame to shiver and produce an earthquake in this locality at about 11 o’clock in the morning. The disturbance lasted only a few seconds, but was quite severe. In Third Street at “The Big Turn,” a crack about an inch wide and several hundred feet long opened in the ground there.

Three days later, Feb. 13, 1913, there were three more shocks, two of which made houses rock and frightened many people who

To join the PTSA, stop into the elementary school and pick up a membership form, Adult membership is still just $7 and a student membership is only $4.

Over the fence Volunteers are still needed help organize the appreciation luncheon for the highway crew. Anyone interested should contact Evelyn Wood at 623-9649.

Warren County Bicentennial buttons are available in two versions: one variety is available from a receptacle just inside the main doors of the Town Hall. These buttons are free and very small. Thurman Station Association also has larger buttons available for a fee of $5. I have seen these buttons and they are attractive, with gold trim around the outer edges of the rectangular pin. To purchase one of these pins, contact Sally at 623-4889.

The hamlet’s first settler is believed to be William Bond — he arrived in 1786. A local lake, “Bond’s Pond,” was dedicated in his honor. The name of the water body has since been changed to Echo Lake. The town’s first non-native settler was believed to be Andrew Vowers, who established his home here in 1783.

The early settlers realized the vast natural assets of the town, including lush forests as well as the Schroon River, which provided water power for various industries.

Relying on this local natural power source, entrepreneurs developed various sawmills, tanneries, as well as plants that

No snow yet We are well into February, 1913 and there is no snow this winter worth mentioning as of yet. Woodsmen and guides say that the deer have never wintered so well in the Adirondacks as they have wintered this year because there has been so little snow.

The animals have not yet “yarded” which is as unusual as the season has been. The deer have been able to travel around the woods at will and they have all that they care to eat. Deer come together in yards when the snow gets deep.

People around Chestertown are finally filling their icehouses, drawing their ice on wagons which is quite a novelty. Lumbermen are also suffering greatly because of the absence of snow.

Remembering a great man February - “Though other months of fairer days were well in line, on February Fate bestowed Saint Valentine. As though that gift was not enough when it was done, she gave us the bobtailed month George Washington.” Wilson According to the Julian calendar, George Washington was born Feb. 11, 1731. According to the Gregorian calendar, he was born Feb. 22, 1731. Historians later decided upon the date of Feb. 22, 1732. Washington went down in history for having said, “I can’t tell a lie, Pa; you know I can’t tell a lie. I did cut it with my hatchet,” when questioned about a prostrate cherry tree. (Parson M.L.

The second reason is related to benzene which is a derivative of crude oil, which we all know is part of the makeup of our roadways today. Well, while I don’t particularly care for swerving all over the roads to avoid the bumps and dips — However I do prefer rollercoaster pavement over dirt roads.

(Note from Evie Russell: With Kathy busy organizing the Jack Wax party, I have been asked to write a few items for this column to help her out. Note that I urge all of you to assist her in any way you can with our town’s traditional, famous fundraiser! Incidentally, many Thurmanites say they love her column, so keep relaying your news tips to her!)

A surprise 90th birthday party was held Feb. 2 at the Thurman Town Hall to honor Laura Goodnow Cameron, who celebrated her birthday on Feb. 5. Laura is well-known in Thurman — she is a member of the Sugarloaf Mountain Seniors Club, a member of the Baptist church, and has helped raise some of her grandkids and great-grandchildren! She is wellliked and enjoys helping good causes when she can.

Sympathy goes out to the large family of Jack Dingman who passed away recently.

Get well wishes go out to Earle Dibble, Darlene Castro and to all who are ill with the flu or the persistent cold that’s going around.

Our congratulations go out to Lila Walter, who turned 98 years old on Jan. 31. Another Thurman resident is slightly ahead of Lila as far as longevity goes. Charlotte Pasco Wood will be celebrating her 100th birthday on April 19. Special Happy Birthday wishes to each of these ladies.

manufactured clothing, paper and cardboard. One of the town’s products, the sturdy wool Warrensburgh Pants, became nationally famous.

With its various industries, Warrensburg rose to pre-eminence in the 1800s, a status that endured well into the 20th Century.

Along the way, the town produced some notable citizens, influential in expeditions, cultural development and state politics.

Among its leading citizens through the past 200 years was Charles Reed Bishop, who grew up in Warrensburg. Bishop, who moved to Hawaii in 1846, is famous for establishing Hawaii’s first bank, and launching various enterprises. Renowned as a philanthropist, he made substantial contribu-

tions to Hawaii’s schools and educational system. He was elected as representative to the legislature of the Hawaiian Kingdom, and served as president of the Hawaii Chamber of Commerce.

Also prominent in Warrensburg’s history was Floyd Bennett, an aviator who piloted Richard E. Byrd on his attempt to reach the North Pole in 1926. Both received the U.S. Medal of Honor for their expedition, and they were hailed as national heroes. Warrensburg’s bandstand was built in Bishop‘s honor, and has since served as the town’s logo.

Adirondack Journal staffers join local citizens in paying tribute to the town on this momentous, historic occasion.

WCS places 3rd in Class 3 Sectional wrestling tourney

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Warrensburg High School wrestler Lane Oehler ’s spectacular come-from-behind victory and a strong showing by his teammates powered the Burghers to a third place showing among 13 schools in the Division II Class 3 Wrestling Tournament Saturday, Feb. 2.

“Lane Oehler ’s win was stunning, but it also was a great day overall — every kid on our team scored points,” Warrensburg coach Mark Trapasso said. “We wrestled well — placing third out of 13 schools is outstanding.”

To earn the small-school regional championship title at 132 pounds, Oehler showed his determination under stress.

The sophomore fought his way back from critical situations in both the semi-final and the final match.

In the earlier matchup, Oehler beat Austin Lown of Duanesburg after Lown had him on his back for a minute and a half, but Oehler put all his energy into resisting the fall, then went on to win 10-3, Trapasso said.

“Oehler just refused to get pinned,” he said, noting that the young athlete summoned up considerable energy in the comeback effort.

In the finals, Oehler pulled off another dramatic comeback.

In the last period of the matchup, he was losing 7-0 to number-one seed Sam DeLarge of Albany Academy, when Oehler executed a reverse and put DeLarge on his back for

the fall at 3:05.

“Lane reversed, locked up a cradle, pinned him, and the whole place went nuts,” Trapasso said, noting that DeLarge had beaten Oehler earlier in the year. "The cradle is deadly.”

Trapasso said Oehler proved he has a bright future in wrestling.

“This is a big win for a young kid,” he said. “This should set the tone for him over the next couple of years.”

Trapasso said Oehler is a formidable, determined competitor.

“Lane is miserable, bony and tough,” the coach said.

“Even his grandfather says he’s gnarly.”

Blake Vaisey, another sophomore, wrestled his way to the finals in the 285-pound class, but lost his concluding match to Ahil Dawoodani of Albany Academy. Vaisey ended up placing second.

Vaisey pinned two competitors, one from Rensselaer and another from Berne-Knox in the process of getting to the finals.

“This is a good showing for Blake,” Trapasso continued.

Blake and Oehler go forward into the Section II championships this weekend at the Glens Falls Civic Center. The top four placing in each weight class at the Class 3 tournament earn a berth.

Four other Warrensburg wrestlers secured an appearance at the Civic Center: Dan Monthony, a 7th grader who placed fourth at 99 pounds; freshman Aidan LaPoint who placed fourth at 106 pounds; Nick Nedelcu a junior who placed

McCluskey Hardware & Supply

third at 120 pounds, and Will Yarmowich, a junior who placed fourth at 138 pounds.

Trapasso said he was pleased with Warrensburg's showing at the tournament.

“We entered 13 kids, and every single wrestler scored points,” he said, noting the WCS athletes wrestled three to five matches each in the tournament.

Four other WCS wrestlers fared well in Saturday’s action.

Winning three matches to place fifth were Jon Russell, a senior at 160 pounds and Rogers McLaughlin, a sophomore at 170 pounds. Also securing fifth place were sophomore Austin West at 113 pounds and 8th grader Damian Prosser at 195 pounds. Trapasso noted he was particularly pleased with Prosser ’s accomplishment.

Volunteers at tourney praised The athletes weren’t the only local people putting in a lot of effort Saturday, Feb. 2.

Dozens of volunteers from the community worked at the Class 3 tournament from shortly after dawn through the day and well into the night, Trapasso said.

WCS teachers Chris Angell and Marc Abbatisti served as announcers.

“Chris and Marc kept the crowd informed, entertained and involved,” Trapasso said, adding that new WCS Athletic Director Scott Smith’s day-long service at the tourney ranged from taking tickets at 7 a.m. to sweeping the gym floor at 8 p.m.

A large kitchen staff, including parents of local wrestlers plus WCS alumni wrestlers served up savory food far beyond the standard hot-dog-and-hamburger routine. Their offerings included pulled-pork sandwiches, chili, pasta creations and breakfast sandwiches, Trapasso said.

There were 150 wrestlers, plus managers and coaching staff from 13 schools, and more than 400 spectators.

Hometown Diner will be missed

‘Winter Break’ party set A generous dose of wintry fun is coming up soon as the Bolton Recreation Department hosts their ‘Winter Break’ party for area youths from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday Feb. 16 at the Bolton Conservation Club.

Scheduled are ice bowling, snowman making, snow painting, and ice skating — bring your own skates — toasting s’mores, crafting of glitter-snow birdhouses and more.

Refreshments to be served from noon to 1:30 p.m. include hot dogs, chips, soda, and hot chocolate. Story-telling around a campfire is to begin at 2 p.m. All are welcome to attend and enjoy the activities.

Lincoln’s Birthday The Sembrich will observe Lincoln’s birthday at 7 p.m.

Thurman EMS from page 1 “We are now operating as a volunteer agency with a backup contingency from neighboring squads,” he said. “There is no delay to patient care — we are still dedicated to providing the best possible ambulance service to our community.”

Hayes said Thurman squad has established automatic mutual aid with neighboring squads from Warrensburg, Stony Creek and Johnsburg, and this provides appropriate emergency services coverage.

“Warrensburg particularly is doing a great

We at the Adirondack Journal wish to express appreciation to the Russell family for their decades of community service by serving up not only hearty meals at the Hometown Diner, but plenty of friendly spirit and goodwill.

Recently, the Russells closed the diner after 34 years in operation. The Hometown Diner was one of only two such eateries that stayed open year-round.

Many people in the region will be definitely missing not only the diner, but they’ll miss socializing with Bernie and Shirley Russell and their staff.

job providing backup,” he said.

In recent weeks, officials from the Thurman and Warrensburg squads have been discussing the possibility of the Warrensburg squad acquiring the assets of Thurman EMS and perhaps operating a satellite operation out of their squad building on High St. near Athol.

The Thurman squad’s financial troubles erupted in January when the Thurman Town Board withdrew its annual operating subsidy for the independent squad, citing their own financial stresses, and taxpayer resistance to taxes being raised as much as 20 percent to accommodate the squad’s needs.

The carnival also features a broomball tournament, flag hockey, Frisbee golf, ice bowling, putter golf, a hockey shoot-out, a chainsaw carving demonstration and an expo of vintage snowmobiles.

and provide financial support for its implementation.

The work on aquatic invasive species prevention and management has been spearheaded by other Lake George citizens groups, but this is the first public vote of support from the Conservancy on the invasives issue.

“Our board members live on the lake, swim in it and drink its water,” LGLC Executive Director Nancy Williams said.

“We all realize the importance of working together to safeguard the health of the Lake.”

In September 2012. the Park Commission proposed mandatory inspections and decontamination of all transient boats to be launched into Lake George. Through the use of boat washing stations and staffed inspectors, invasive species such as the Asian clam, zebra mussels, and Eurasian milfoil would be spotted and washed off, preventing their introduction into the lake.

“Prevention is key,” Williams continued. “The cost of eradication or management is huge.”

Details on invasive species and the Park Commission’s plan can be found at: www.lgpc.state.ny.us.

Hayes said that media reports last week implying that public safety had been compromised were erroneous.

“This has all been ridiculous,” he said.

“Politics shouldn’t surpass patient care, which is number one with us.”

Area emergency officials have observed that it is difficult for rural squads with limited number of calls to survive, considering the ever-increasing costs and requirements of training and equipment as well as the shrinking availability of volunteers.

Hayes also expressed appreciation to fellow Thurman EMS volunteers John O'Neill, Ernie Smith, Jim and Becky Desourdy, Mike

“Everybody is talking about the Carnival — and with the recent event cancellations in the county because of a lack of snow, people are looking for something fun to do,” she said.

“We’re expecting a pretty big crowd.”

Letters to the Editor - Adirondack Journal - 11

Letters to the Editor Let’s solve Thurmanites’ grievances To the Adirondack Journal: It is clear from postings in the Journal and from private conversations between Thurman residents that the mood in this town is one of anger and frustration. Those two emotions do not mix well.

But it is not too late to turn things around, and I urge the town administration to take steps in that direction.

Here is what I suggest: the Town Board should schedule two public forums. At the first, town residents will speak of their concerns, their grievances, and their sadness about what has been lost, and state their priorities. At this meeting, the town supervisor and board members will merely listen and take notes.

At the second meeting, the board will address those issues and present possible solutions. That will be followed by a healthy dialogue — a problem-solving dialogue free of innuendos, charges, or personal attacks.

In the meantime, I urge residents to fight off their frustration and attend the next town board meeting at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 12. We need to send the message that we are watching, and will take steps to get back our town. Let’s fill the town hall like we did in years past. Alternatively, we might change the official town slogan to: “Thurman: Where nature is a way of life, and a neon sign lists town events.”

Irv West Thurman

Check the facts about Thurman EMS To the Adirondack Journal: In regards to the Feb. 1 article in the Post-Star about Thurman EMS — It’s disheartening that so much unsubstantiated information could be printed as news, without the necessary fact-checking which should accompany such accusations.

The Thurman EMS did not “shut its doors” leaving a situation that would “endanger someone’s life.”

In fact, the very day this article was published, Thurman EMS responded to a call that night with a volunteer EMT and driver.

A vote had been taken to close the squad in the near future due to financial difficulties, and the squad was waiting until after the Town Board meeting Feb. 12, hoping for a miracle. A volunteer EMT is still stationed at the building to take calls.

The article states Jean Coulard said the squad’s “few remaining members” voted to shut the doors and stop responding to calls. Note that we have the same number of members — the only people we lost were several paid EMTs who left after we could no longer afford their payroll expenses.

For Evelyn Wood to say that she was caught off guard when asked about the lack of coverage, I must say that she was definitely aware of the situation — it was discussed at several town meetings. Thurman EMS has been trying to negotiate with her for months. She offered the squad only enough money to cover the final ambulance payment to the town, and that she did only because of how the contract was written. Net operating funds allocated for Thurman EMS in 2012 was zero. She has never tried to “get them into negotiations”. There was never any discussion about alternatives.

At one town meeting, I asked what would happen when someone called 911 if Thurman EMS closed down. I asked if we would be the first town in Warren County without an ambulance service. I asked if she had a contingency plan for this. I told her I couldn’t fathom a town without an ambulance. Check the board minutes, which are available on the Internet.

Thurman EMS has sent letters to all residents describing their financial predicament and requesting donations. There have been numerous articles posted in the Adirondack Journal. Any resident should be aware of what is going on in their own town. This is not news to Supervisor Wood.

The Post-Star article also states that Thurman EMS could not keep up with the call volume in 2011, requiring Warrensburg to cover the town. But in 2012, the squad hired paid EMTs to do exactly what she asked, provide coverage for the town, 24/7, and the call response was 98%. This fact was presented to Wood during several town meetings. The squad did what she asked, expecting some type of town support to follow, but she still denied funding.

Thurman EMS is dedicated to the residents, and has struggled financially to provide service. I have personally met people whose lives were saved by Thurman EMS. No matter what solution is decided upon, it’s not going to be for free. If a private company is hired they will not “soft bill” as Thurman EMS does. The residents will be paying full price for their ambulance transport. Even if another agency covers Thurman, they can’t afford to do it for free.

No one can. Somehow, money will be needed to cover the town’s emergency needs. Evelyn Wood sponsored a resolution to raise taxes, and taxes were raised by a little more than 5 percent, but still nothing for the squad.

So, let’s hear from the residents. What do YOU want? It’s time you made that heard. Call your Town Board, call Amy Drexel, call Evelyn Wood, and call our Congressman.

Let’s make sure we get the timely response that’s critical when we call 911. Every minute counts when someone is waiting for help in a medical emergency.

Last year a paid EMT who chose to serve regardless of receiving no pay, told Thurman EMS members he was donating his time and talents “because these are our friends and neighbors.” This really affected me, and I volunteered to serve as Treasurer.

Thurman EMS is a dedicated, hard working group that has struggled to the end to serve the public.

I know we have the support of the residents, and I cannot comprehend the official town’s lack of support. Without it, Thurman EMS has reached the end.

We are hoping for a miracle on Feb. 12 — some level and source of funding that will allow Thurman EMS to keep operating. If not, dissolution papers will be filled out and Thur-

man EMS will cease to exist.

There are many rumors circulating regarding the squad. I encourage you to conduct your own fact-finding. I will show you our financial records if you have questions. Feel free to call squad officials and ask with any questions you may have — and then you will obtain an accurate picture of what has happened and not rely on false print.

Debra Runyon Treasurer, Thurman EMS

Democrats seek to abridge freedoms To the Adirondack Journal: Kudos to the Adirondack Journal and Denton Publications for the editorial exploring key issues surrounding New York’s recent gun law which more accurately should be called the New York Citizen Disarmament Law. This legislation, rushed onto the books by a heavily Democrat-controlled state Legislature, and passed in the dead of night without public comment or discussion, demonstrates precisely why the founders wrote the second amendment in the first place.

The founders understood that ambition motivates many politicians and wanted to guarantee that the citizenry had the means to protect itself from abuses of a tyrannical government (see Federalist 28, 29 and 51). It had nothing to do with how many bullets it takes to kill a deer or how many

As we are witnessing, government today is no less inclined to abuse it’s power than in the days of King George III. Andrew Cuomo’s objective had less to do with promoting public safety than it had to do with promoting his own towering ambition and burnishing his credentials as the Democratic candidate for the 2016 presidential nomination.

The real issues surrounding the Citizen Disarmament Law are it’s constitutionality and more pointedly what constitutes “infringement; but the U.S. Constitution has never stood in the way of a progressive democrat with an opportunity.

Those New York legislators who voted in favor of the law (mostly progressive democrats) either believed it was constitutional but more likely, never even considered the Constitution in their haste to strike while the emotional “iron” was hot.

To their great credit, state Senator Little and local Assembly members Stec and Duprey voted against Andrew the Magnificent’s gun-grab law.

I would hope that they and others who voted against the bill would find a way to challenge it on the grounds that it is unconstitutional and infringes on the “right of the people to keep and bear arms.”
