Winter Carnival to feature colorful airborne spectacle, family fun
thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — One day in January, an electrician powered up a sign hanging above the entrance to the brandnew building that now hosts Oscar ’s Smoke House, which has been closed since a devastating fire Sept. 4 that turned the historic structure into ruins. Soon after the sign was illuminated, several dozen people drove up the hill to the legendary business, where generations have bought their smoked meats and cheeses, to see if Oscar's Smoke House was now open. But Oscar ’s will be reopening Saturday Feb. 20 with great fanfare, and the public is invited. Community leaders from all over the Adirondacks are expected to attend, as well as

hundreds of long-time fans of the products, and friends of the owners, the Quintal family. Thursday, Jerry and Joq Quintal reflected on what it was like to reopen after months of recovery from the fire, with demolition of the old store and smoke house, then designing, planning, equipping, and resuscitating their business. “It’s like losing a child, and then a new baby being born,” Jerry Quintal said, noting that although a lifetime of memories were invested in he old building, the new one offers a new beginning and new opportunities. The old building was a maze of additions and isolated rooms. The new building, designed for efficiency, is the same size, but has considerably more workspace and retail area for customers. Instead of 12 feet of main display coolers, 32 feet will show off their meats and cheeses. Plus, a bank of auxiliary coolers will show off their specialty items. The charm of the original building has been retained, as the original Oscar ’s pig character was restored by neighbor John Richardson, cedar trunks hide the building’s steel pillars, the walls are covered by knotty-pine wainscoting, and a lot of the original, historic furnishings that were pulled from the fire have been retained.

Kites of all varieties to fill the skies LAKE GEORGE — With a reduced emphasis on motorized vehicles, the Lake George Winter Carnival returns this weekend with a lineup of familyoriented activities. Saturday, Carnival spectators are likely to see a colorful array of kites in the skies over the lake as members of the New York Kite Enthusiasts fly their unusual and festive creations. Also, they’ll be offering demonstrations and instructions, Carnival official Kathi Kokalas said. Also brightening the skies will be colorful hot air balloons, conducting liftoffs and tethered rides both Saturday and Sunday at 8:30 a.m., depend-
ing on the wind. But regardless of the wind velocity Saturday, the kite flyers will be out in force, New York Kite Enthusiasts official Jeremy Johannesen of East Berne said. “The event in Lake George is a great opportunity for us to get all the serious kite flyers together,” he said. There are relatively few good kite-lying spots in the Adirondacks, he said, because of the trees and terrain. But atop the ice of Lake George, there’s plenty of room to maneuver for kite flyers, he continued. “Were pleased to get out and share our passion for kite flying with the community during the winter,” Johannesen said, referring to his group of 50 or so members. He estimated that about half of the group’s membership would

be participating Saturday. Kites of all shapes, types and sizes will be filling the sky, from traditional “dimestore” kites to elaborate airborne craft with a pricetags of $2,000 or more — or fanciful handmade creations and balloon-type kites which inflate into three dimensional characters with the wind. Some kites that his group members fly, he said, can be up to 50 feet in length and 20 feet wide, requiring beefy kite string, up to 3/16ths of an inch in diameter. Snowmobile and ATV riders on Lake George this weekend must be aware of this thick kite string, Johannesen said. because it can pose a hazard. “We don’t want to see a snowmobile flipped over,” he said.

WARRENSBURG — Nearly 100 students and faculty members packed the hallway at the Warrensburg High School gymnasium. “Aaaa-Beee, Aaaa-Bee,” they chanted, as video cameras pointed at stellar Burgher athlete, Abby Roth, standing at a table draped in school colors, blue and gold. Roth smiled, then got down to business, signing various documents including a national Letter of Intent to play Division 1 field hockey at Central Michigan University. Roth received a four-year athletic and academic scholarship, worth over $100,000 to the college, renowned for its field hockey program. Warrensburg High School Principal Doug Duell watched her sign the letter. “This is a big deal,” he said. “She’s worked very hard as an athlete and as a student, and this is a wonderful honor for her and her family.” WCS Athletic Director Steve Nolan stood next to Roth as she scrawled her signature. “For a school the size of ours, this is a major accomplishment,” he said. “Abby’s commitment and dedication got her to this point.” Nearby, Roth’s sister Kerrigan and fellow student Brittany DeCrescente held a banner that read: “Congratulations, Abby!” “This is like a dream come true for her — she’s always wanted to play Division I field hockey,” Kerrigan said, recalling how her sister had

for years helped her learn the basics of hockey, passing and shooting towards a goal Abby set up in their back yard. “Ever since I was young, I wanted to be like her — she was so good at sports.” The signing ceremony took place beside a glass case stuffed with gold statuettes, trophies and plaques for field hockey, awards that included a New York State runner-up championship trophy. Roth is a two-time All-State athlete and a three-time regional AllStar. For the past two years, she’s been Offensive MVP in Section II, and in 2006, the field hockey team was Sectional Champions. She was a member of the 2007 New York State All-Tournament Team. Roth was a major element of that 2007 team that fought into the state finals, and other teams WCS that won local and regional honors. Also, she’s been a standout on both
the WCS Softball team and on the school’s wrestling team, often winning against musclebound male competitors. Minutes after the signing ceremony, Abby Roth’s Warrensburg field hockey coach Mary ann Bump cut into a congratulatory cake and served it to Roth’s fans — fellow students. “She’ll set a fire there at Central Michigan like she did here — as a catalyst for our teams,” Bump said. “She has an outstanding work ethic — wanting to do the very best, whether it’s a sprint or scoring a goal, her efforts are allout 100 percent. She was always the ‘flash-and-dash,’ the hot sauce on our team.” Later, Abby recalled that she’d grown up with a hockey stick in her hand, playing with a miniature stick since she could walk. Her mother Bonnie was an assistant Varsity coach at WCS.
In second grade, she showed her at the WCS field hockey Play Day, sparring with the recruits from the fourth through sixth grades. Then in 2001, she followed the WCS varsity team to the State Championship finals, and served as ball girl. “Riding the bus with the Varsity players was just the best time,” Roth recalled. “I wanted to be just like them.” As the crowd of her fellow students began to dissipate, Roth looked at the jammed hallway. “This kind of support feels good,” she said. “It’s nice to grow up in a small town, where everyone is so close — I’ll miss everyone when I’m at college.” Roth changed her focus, gazing out the door. “But I’m excited to go; I can’t wait to play field hockey — I’ve wanted this ever since I was in third grade.”

SATURDAY February 20, 2010
Carnival From page 1 During the kite flying session from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., banners and pylons will be set out to mark the perimeter of the kiting area, Carnival officials said. Johannesen said the kite flying would provide a colorful spectacle for the crowd, perhaps even later than 2 p.m. if conditions are good. “It will be impressive with the ice and sky as a background — the striking colors will just pop,” he said. “This will be a great alternative to motor sports — it’s family friendly, and we’re excited to share to the love of kiting with everyone that shows up.”
Snowmobilers careened over the open water at 2:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday to the delight of spectators at Lake George Winter Carnival. Michael Chimiak, a Carnival official, has been leading the pack of these daredevil sledders for years.
Games, sled-dog rides offered Other activities will also provide family fun, Carnival official Ed Kokalas said. Children’s games including “turkey bowling” and a hockey shootout will be offered Saturday and Sunday noon to 2 p.m.. While the latter includes launching a puck between two hay bales, the former involves pitching a full-size frozen turkey over the ice at six pins. Competitors will get two chances to knock the pins down, and if so, they’ll double their $1 playing fee. Younger children will be skidding a smaller roasting chickens over the ice. Ladder ball will also be offered, with double payback with two successful throws — Don’t tell the government gaming authorities! A children’s petting zoo is slated for Saturday only, 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.. Indoor children’s activities are offered at King Neptune’s Lounge, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. both days. Kokalas said Monday he is hoping for snow, although he’ll have to run a snowblower to clear the ice for the aforementioned games. With snow, dog sled rides will be offered, and the ever-popular flag football will have the appropriate field cover. The football games are likely to feature 100 or so folks seeking some frigid fun and a way to work off some Genesee calories. Also planned is the ever-popular humorous tavern competition, which includes events like relay races with waitstaff balancing trays loaded with beverage glasses. In addition, a sanctioned sled dog weight-pull competition is planned for the Beach Road parking lot, and watching the action is free.
Snowmobile, ATV riders welcomed The weekend won’t be devoid of motorsport activities, Kathi Kokalas said. Saturday, King Neptune’s is also sponsoring snowmobile

and ATV poker runs. Registration is from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Lake George Village has been popular this year among snowmobile and ATV riders, because a variety of streets have been opened up to their vehicles. Maps of the streets that are sanctioned ATV and sled routes are available from Carnival organizers and at the Village Hall.
Village busy for Presidents Weekend Speaking of popular, this last week the village was jammed with people, Kathi and Ed Kokalas said. For the Polar Plunge, which begins at 3 p.m., Shepard Park Beach was full of people, elbow-to-elbow, Kathi said. Several hotels in the region reported they were booked solid, perhaps for the concurrence of Presidents Weekend and Valentine’s Day, Kokalas said. “Last week we were really slammed,” she said. “I met a lot of couples who said they left the kids at home and were out alone for Valentine’s Day weekend.” The State Championship Motorcycle Ice and ATV Races also were a big draw, she said. “People came from all over to see the action,” she said. The Carnival’s annual Mardi Gras Parade held Sunday afternoon was also a big attraction, drawing many spectators. The float awarded “Best in Show” was a mockup of Prospect Mountain Diner ’s interior, complete with waitresses and a cook impersonating Emeril the television chef. Both waitstaff and spectators lining the streets danced to the music emanating from the float’s jukebox. Afloat by Sunkiss Ballooning, also an award winner, carried hot-air balloon baskets blasting jets of propane flares. Dressed as a Mardi Gras

King, local resident Tito Montalvo led the parade, which drew many more spectators than in recent years, Kokalas said. Terry Mitchell, garbed as the Tooth Fairy, charmed the children, Kokalas said. The Chowder Cookoff on Saturday was won by Holiday Inn of Lake George, with their chowder featuring smoked chicken and shrimp. The Log Jam won second place with their savory lobster and shrimp concoction, and third was The Garrison, with their traditional New England clam chowder. The public bonfire at dusk Saturday on Shepard Park Beach was popular, Kokalas said. While hundreds huddled around the big fire, children were drawn to a smaller one where they toasted marshmallows and made s’mores. The hip-hop Albany Spin Jam dancers offered up a performance, gyrating as they spun fiery batons prior to a fireworks show, also a crowd-pleaser.
InBrief New ‘Chamber Chat’ dinners planned LAKE GEORGE — The Lake George Regional Chamber of Commerce has announced it plans to begin hosting quarterly dinners for its members and the public on issues of boosting commerce and tourism. All are invited to hear guest speakers, exchange ideas on prospective chamber projects and delve into some networking. The Chamber is continuing its series of mixers. The first “Chamber Chat” dinner will be held Tuesday, Feb. 23 at Sweet Basil Restaurant in Queensbury. The evening includes cocktails, dinner.

They also would like to thank the musicians and entertainers who still stop by and a big thanks to the workers who bring with them a smile, making their days much more enjoyable. A caller this week requested more political opinion articles like Adirondack Journal Executive Editor John Gereau wrote several weeks ago. Folks up here loved his critique of the Adirondack Park Agency and they’d like to see more articles like this. The APA is considered by many to be a scourge in our area that unreasonably dictates land use. Another caller asked a question on the figures quoted on the March 9 special school vote on the three buses to be leased for a five year term at an annual cost of about $48,200. The $48,000 is the total cost for all three buses per year.

Tommy Howe, 24, passed away on Feb. 6 at in Scottsdale Arizona after a three-year battle with cancer. He is the son of Don and Anne Howe Jr. now living in Massachusetts, and grandson of Gerri Howe and the late Don Howe, formerly of Mud St. He is also survived by two sisters Chrisy and Katie. He was a frequent visitor at his grandparents Mud Street farm, and met many friends in the area. Raised in Colchester, Vt., Tommy Howe set an all-time scoring record in basketball at the local public high school, and as a Junior, led his team to a state championship. He continued his education at UMass/Boston, and his basketball team there won a Division III title. During his Junior year in college, he was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer. After sacrificing his leg, he felt inspired to change his career path and become a registered nurse. Tommy was a role model for many students in both high school and college. He had a way of maintaining a positive outlook through difficult times. He affected so many people with his compassion and love for life.
Celebration for Lila Walter Balloons, cake, friends, congratulatory cards and family gifts all came pouring into the home of Al and Anne Rohe at Thurman Station where a gathering was held to honor Lila Walter on her special day Sunday Jan. 31. Sharing in Lila’s 95th birthday celebration were 24 friends and family members, enjoying a luncheon and sharing in the socializing and good cheer. One of Lila’s nephews came from Arizona, Scott Kenyon came, as did two of his brothers from the Fort Edward area. Lila received more than 70 birthday cards and can you believe they were all different. A bunch of balloons in all sizes and shapes was brought in and tied to them was a basket chock-full of goodies. It was a joy for Lila to be remembered by so many folks. Lila expresses thanks to everyone for making this event so very special, and a special thanks to Cathy LaFond-Evans who came as a clown and brought in baskets of treasures. Cathy also took many photos, and just hours later printed and arranged them in an album, returning them to Lila that afternoon.

•100 Years Ago – February, 1910• Record-breaking blizzard halts trolleys, sleighs With 14 inches of snow falling Friday and Saturday night Feb. 11 and 12, 1910, accompanied by wind which swirled it into huge drifts, Warrensburgh and vicinity experienced a genuine blizzard. Traffic on the steam and trolley cars was crippled not withstanding the Delaware & Hudson Valley Co. had all their snow plows and a small army of men at work in a desperate effort to keep the tracks open. The trolley company had several teams of horses and many men drawing the snow off Warrensburgh’s main street. M. Harrington and James Harrison were out busy with their teams. Nine teams and a large gang of men which have been employed at the Finch, Pruyn & Company’s lumber camps at Newcomb and Blue Ridge, reached Warrensburgh Feb. 11, 1910 and the men say that there is seven feet of snow in the north woods. Up until now the season has been unusually good for the logging operations. With the large depth of snow in the mountains, the men predict that the Hudson River will see its largest freshet ever this spring. On the night of Feb. 16, 1910 the wind shifted, the mercury went down several degrees and another storm started in the next morning, continued with renewed vigor and raged all day with more snow predicted for that night. The roads are even impassable for sleighing as the snow is so deep. On Feb. 24, 1910 it was 31 degrees below zero in Warrensburgh. Don’t worry, spring will be here in the sweet bye and bye.
Better dead than bald-headed After purchasing a four-ounce bottle of chloroform at a Glens Falls pharmacy “to chloroform a cat,” as he said, Ernest Butler, 21, went to his home at 72 Bay Street, Glens Falls and locking the doors and windows, committed suicide by drinking the contents of the vial. The body of the young man was discovered by Enos Brown, a neighbor who went to wake him the next morning to go to his job as a hostler and Brown gained entrance with a skeleton key. Butler left a note which said “Give brother what money I have to get him a birthday present. I could not help it, for I am getting bald-headed.” Hiram Butler said his son was in perfect health and in cheerful spirits when he recently last saw him. It is suspected that the boy was deranged.
Civil War soldier dies Frederick Darrow, 74, one of Warrensburgh’s best citizens, died Tuesday Feb. 15, 1910 at 5 p.m. His malady was an affliction of the heart and he also had dropsy. Death, which he had faced on the battlefield, apparently held no fear for him. In the Civil War, Darrow was a member of the 93rd regi-
ment, N.Y. Vols., and served with his late comrade, Thomas H. Crandall. Darrow was a carpenter by trade and a lifelong resident of Warrensburgh. He had a kind heart. He leaves a widow, a son, Dudley Darrow and three daughters. The funeral was held at the Warrensburgh Methodist Episcopal Church and was well attended.
Unbelievable feat A team of horses owned by William Montgomery of Johnsburgh and driven by Robert Braydon recently drew 190 logs four miles to the landing at Long Lake West. The load was so wide that trees by the roadside had to be cut down to let the load pass. This feat breaks all current records in local competitive logging circles.
Lake George lady succumbs Miss Louise Crosby, formerly of Lake George, died Feb.22, 1910 at Winona, Minnesota at the home of her sister, Mrs. William H. Wyman. The deceased was a daughter of the late Francis G. Crosby who founded and for many years successfully conducted the Crosbyside Hotel at the head of Lake George. She was brought back and buried in the Lake George Cemetery.
Millionaire under fire Papers were filed in the United States Court at Utica Feb. 12, 1910, in an action by the U.S. against George Foster Peabody, Lake George millionaire and banker of New York City, to recover $553,000 with interest from Jan. 1, 1899. It is alleged that Mr. Peabody and others mined coal on land in Carbon County, Utah which is owned by the government.
Stony Creek Hotel changes hands John H. Arehart of Corinth has purchased the Stony Creek Hotel property from William and Agnes Kelley. He will take possession on March 1, 1910. (Note: John Arehart paid $7,150 for the hotel that he would go on to develop into the center of all activity in the town and which was to become known far and wide. He renamed it Arehart’s Inn and he and his wife Bertha ran it until Jack’s death in 1939.Their son, John Arehart Jr became the owner in 1938. Jack went on to build Thousand Acres Ranch in 1942 and Sit’n Bull Ranch in 1965.)

is named Valentine, and the youngsters had a fine time. Madam S.M. Roundaville, of New York City, a dear friend of Mrs. Harry A. Gibbs, is here in town visiting her. She is a talented musician, has a voice like a nightingale and has given much pleasure to many who were lucky enough to be around the Chester House on the evening of Mrs. Gibbs’ card party when she was at the piano and singing some of her fine songs to amuse her many friends. (Note: the Chester House, a grand old hotel, was once at the north corner of the Main Street and Thieriot Ave. in Chestertown.)
Warrensburgh nuptials The marriage of Lee M. Remington and Miss Olive B. Morehouse, both of Warrensburgh, was solemnized Feb. 21, 1910 by the Rev. L.T. Cole at the home of Charles Remington in Chestertown. The couple will make their home in Warrensburgh. The groom was formerly from Chestertown and the bride is the daughter of Supervisor George S. Morehouse of Indian Lake. Both have had responsible positions here with the Empire Shirt Factory for several years.
News roundabout The thermometer registered 30 degrees below zero Feb. 11, 1910 at the store of Sanford Kenyon in North Thurman. Thirteen inches of snow fell in Bakers Mills and high winds blew, keeping men and teams busy trying to scrape the roads. Everyone is filling their ice houses. There is talk of building a shirt factory in Chestertown that will hire from 100 to 500 hands. Anyone desiring work should apply at once to Kettenbach Brothers. At The Glen, Dud Monroe lost a horse valued at $200. Samuel Whipple, who drives the oil wagon at Adirondack, had a sick horse and had to spend Saturday night at Will McGinley’s house. In North River, Loren Harvey is critically ill. Mrs. John H. Dunlap is ill with erysipelas. Calvin Harvey has been critically ill with typhoid fever. George Ordway recently underwent an operation in the Albany hospital. “Aunt Lib” Fuller, as most people call her in Stony Creek, is very sick. She is past 90 years old and it is probable that this is her last illness. William Wadsworth of Griffin and Miss Alice Lackey of Johnsburgh were married Feb. 20, 1910 at the home of William Ross in Johnsburgh. Melvin B. Langworthy, a Warrensburgh farmer, has a Jersey cow eight years old, that produces 20 quarts per day. Langworthy said he recently made 43 pounds of butter in 28 days from her milk. Who can beat that?

Architecture is important To the editor: The furor about Stewart’s moving uptown has precedent. Some years ago, Rite Aid wanted to demolish the beautiful Colonial Arms Hotel and replace it with one of their block buildings opposite Floyd Bennett Park. A committee of townspeople was formed and began discussions with Rite Aid. People were concerned about the loss of the historic building, of which only the first story remained, as well as traffic considerations. Negotiations took a while. A compromise was reached, and Rite Aid invested in a facade that reflected the historic, elegant Adirondack Hotel that once stood on the property —even though it cost Rite Aid an extra $100,000 or more to build. Their revised development plans included a curved drive-in and a patch of green grass in front. I suggest that negotiations be started with Stewart’s to hire an architect to design a lovely ice cream parlor, sandwich shop and convenience store with Victorian architecture that conforms to the neighborhood. Of course, the gas pumps should be scrapped. These changes could enhance a trip downtown with banks, Jack Toney’s, the bakery, the pizza shop, Grand Union, the drug store, churches, the florist, town hall and Richards Library within walking distance. We could take care of business and most of our errands and then reward ourselves with a delicious dish of award-winning Stewart’s ice cream or a sandwich. Sound Good? But, on the other hand, have we considered the effect of a second convenience store would have on the long-standing Cumberland Farms store? If they leave, we will have a row of empty stores on Main Street, discouraging to small business development and depressing to visitors. How about Stewart’s negotiating a trade with Cumberland Farms for their property, and Stewart’s could expand into the vacant portions of the building? It seems like a win-sin situation for everyone. Regina Porter Warrensburg
To the editor: I would think the local taxpayers have to look at the bottom line in the issue of Stewart’s seeking a new location for their Warrensburg store. Stewart’s will put more property on the tax map for the Town by building a new store on Stewart Farrar Ave. Stewart’s is already paying for the property they are on, and will continue to pay. The Potter ’s Diner property is also on the tax rolls. Traffic is also a concern in this tight area of Main St. where Stewart’s is now located. Try getting up and down that area during rush hours and you will understand. The Stewart Farrar Ave. site offers a better location and increased tax revenue for the Town. We have historical areas in the Town and beautiful parks to enjoy, but the taxes are increasing, and we cannot depend on the state or federal government to help. The wishes of some are greatly paid for by others. Tony Fortino Warrensburg

Adirondack Marathon announces third scholarship
The Adirondack Marathon Distance Festival announced the creation of an additional scholarship in memory of Peter Gushee. Gushee had been the liaison coordinator between the marathon and numerous EMT’s and ambulance squads that provide emergency coverage on race day.

Walt Swartz of Eric & Eric Construction in Brant Lake says as much as half of the energy used in a typical home goes to heating and cooling. “An Energy Star home is one that is built 30-60% more efficient than the same house built only to local codes,” says Swartz. “At least 80% of the current homes we build are Energy Star homes.” “It typically costs 1 or 2% more to build an Energy Star home, but should be viewed as a short term investment. The savings are quickly recovered within just a few years most of the time. As the total cost of heating fuels increase, the turn-around time of Energy Star homes decreases,” explains Swartz. Eric & Eric, Inc. cite the following as reasons people are moving toward Energy Star: 1. 2010 Federal Tax Credits. Savings of 30% of cost up to $1,500 on certain Energy Star products. See HYPERLINK “http://www.energystar.gov” www.energystar.gov for details. 2. Reduced Utility Bills. In addition to using less energy to operate, energy-saving heating and cooling systems can be quieter, reduce indoor humidity, and improve the overall comfort of the home. This can result in as much as 30% in savings on heating, cooling and hot water bills. 3. Help Protect the Environment. An Energy Star home reduces air pollution by consuming less energy. In 2009, Americans saved enough energy to avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those produced by 29 million cars. 4. Comfort and Quiet. Properly installed insulation in floors, walls, and attics ensures even temperatures throughout the house, reduced energy use, and increased comfort. 5. Low Maintenance. Energy-efficient windows employ advanced technologies, such as protective coatings and improved frames, to help keep heat in during winter and out during summer. They also reduce sun damage to floors and furniture. 6. Healthier Indoor Air. Energy Star homes are built to reduce indoor air pollutants, so you breathe easier. 7. Preferred Financing. Many lenders offer additional savings by providing special Energy Star mortgages.

Area boy scouts hailed in Albany on scouting’s centennial By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com ALBANY — Boy Scouts from Warren County and the greater Glens Falls region were hailed and applauded Feb. 8 in the New York State Legislature as the boys represented scouts statewide on the day of the 100th anniversary of Boy Scouts of America. A group of Boy Scouts and their leaders of the Twin Rivers Council — based in Glens Falls — visited both the state Assembly and state Senate Feb. 8 and were honored by the legislators. Proclamations were read hailing the character-building aspects of the organization and its influence over the lives of millions throughout the nation over the last century, and resolutions honoring the Boy Scouts on their centennial were passed in both houses. Of the contingent of about 30 scouts and leaders, about 10 were from Warren County. In the state Assembly, Majority Leader Ron Canestrari paid tribute to the visiting Twin Rivers Boy Scouts, and a lengthy proclamation was read, prompting applause by the state’s leaders. State Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) welcomed the scouts, noting that the Boy Scouts of America held its first-ever camping trip in her district, on Silver Bay Association grounds on the shores of Lake George. "The Boy Scouts are recognized and respected worldwide," state Sen. Betty Little said. "What an honor we have in knowing that their first overnight camping expedition was here in the Adirondacks in Hague.” Friday, Little said she was pleased to be a part of the Senate ceremony. “It was great looking up to see the boys and their scout leaders seated in the Senate Gallery as many members, some of them former boy scouts, rose to congratulate them." In their respective chambers, Assembly members and Senators stood up and added their personal tribute. It was noted that historic Boy Scout artifacts and photographs will be on display at the New York State Museum in Albany, and that in September, a pilgrimage of scouts from across the Northeast will occur, tak-

Twin Rivers Council leader Scott Hayden said that he and others were proud that scouts convened at Silver Bay on Lake George, an event that set the model for the Boy Scout movement in the nation. “This area so rich in history,” he said. “North Country values are so in line with the Boy Scouts of America, and it seems natural that scouting originated here.” Hayden said the day at the state Capital was memorable for all. “The warm reception we received was very gratifying and it was quite an educational experience for the boys.”

LAKE GEORGE -- Scouting is thriving at Lake George Central School, where several dozen students are enrolled in Troop 13. Winter activities are a favorite with the Troop 13 scouts, who have been known to take an expedition deep into the wilderness near Newcomb — a father-son campout in which the scouts snowshoe into a hunting camp on a remote lake. The trip includes digging a snow cave and sleeping outdoors over a weekend. Spring includes another father-son canoe and kayak trip to Lows Lake. This venture includes about 15 miles of canoeing and tent-camping in which the boys carry in all their gear into remote areas for rustic camping. Their annual summer experience in Camp Wakpominee includes learning swimming, sailing and orienteering skills as well as a lot of fun, scout leaders said.

Scouts, parents and friends of Boy Scout Kurt Bedell of Warrensburg collaborated on building a pavilion he designed for the town park in Warrensburg in earning Eagle Scout status recently. The project is a shining example of how scouts have been benefiting their local communities. By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com GLENS FALLS — Although the numbers of boys is involved in scouting is about even in recent years, the level of dedication in scouts and their leaders has advanced considerably, said Scott Hayden, district director of Twin Rivers Council, Boy Scouts of America. There are 75 Scouting units in the Twin Rivers Council, and they’re active in beneficial volunteer project and community service work — in addition to the camping and outdoor skills development associated with Boy Scouts, he said.
See BUILDING, page 15
WARRENSBURG -- Troop 100 of Warrensburg has enjoyed a productive year in 2009 pursuing outdoors and survival skills, fundraisers, volunteer service work and camping trips, scoutmaster Ray Hensler said this week. Recently, they attended the annual Klondike Derby at Camp Wakpominee, which includes both cooperative and competitive activities with other troops in area. The local scouts enjoy their annual week at the camp hiking, canoeing, swimming and honing their shooting and archery skills. This last year, community service was a focus of the troop, as two of the scouts achieved Eagle Scout rank through completion of two separate pavilions which are sure to be enjoyed by area citizens. Last year, Travis Acuna designed and completed a pavilion behind the Episcopal Church, and he was awarded Eagle status in December. In early August, Boy Scout Kurt Bedell planned, designed and built — with the assistance of volunteers and parents — a 12x20 timber-frame pavilion at the Warrensburg Town Recreation Field. The structure is designed to provide shelter to parents tending to their children playing in the tot-lot
CHESTERTOWN -- In addition to their substantial community service projects and traditional campouts, the Boy Scouts of Troop 30, primarily from the North Warren School District, are involved in an ambitious venture. This multi-year expedition, with historic overtones, calls for traveling the full length of the Hudson River from the Adirondack High Peaks, 315 miles to New York City. This adventure will likely be completed over a two-year period, Scoutmaster John Belline said. The scouts are tackling their goal one stretch at a time — by bicycle, foot, raft or canoe, he said. This past year, the trip has extended south to The Glen in Warrensburg. In September, the scouts spent four days in the high peaks, hiking from Tahawus to The Lodges, then a lengthy bike trip into Newcomb. The 2009 treks also included a rafting trip through the Hudson River gorge. The expedition included a trip from North Creek to Riparius by train, followed by a seven-mile hike to The Glen. The historic trek will continue in April with a bike trip from The Glen 24 miles to Corinth and a canoe trip down the Hudson from Corinth to Fort Edward, Troop advancement chairman Joe Klewicki said. By June, the scouts plan to have traveled the distance to the grounds of Saratoga Battlefield, he said.

Oscar’s From page 1 Most of all, the friendly smiles of the clerks will be the same. Jerry Quintal kept his entire cast of 14 employees on the payroll for four months, regardless of the lack of production work occurring — and those friendly faces will be back, serving customers as well as preparing the meats and cheeses as two generations before them have. Behind the old-world charm, however, is high technology, in both the plant and its equipment, that is environmentally conscious. The entire plant has geo-thermal heating and cooling system. Heat from the groundwater is extracted to warm up the building in the winter, and groundwater chills the air conditioner evaporators in summertime and the product freezers and coolers yearround. Also, the roof is engineered to soak up the heat in winter to warm the building, yet reflect it in summer to keep the building cool. Also, the lighting is the latest in design, saving about two-thirds of its electricity usage by employing high-efficiency LCD or fluorescent lighting that shuts off automatically when not in use. These “green” aspects of the building may have boosted the cost of the enterprise by about $300,000, but Jerry Quintal estimates that the sum will be recovered in five years or so in energy savings — while lessening the impact of the plant on the environment. Jerry said his daughter Janelle influenced their decision to make the considerable extra expense in geothermal technology and other “green” innovations, which are expected to save up to 61 percent of utility costs. The new smoke house has other attributes that are anticipated to enhance the success of the operation. The three new smokers are higher capacity and computerized, so they control smoke intensity, heat and humidity in various cycles automatically to maximize flavor, uniformity and production. The entire curing cycles, which can be complex, have been developed by the Quintals for maximum taste and quality and programmed into the smoking apparatus, so the employees can be more productive. The main smoker can cure a ton of ham in a day rather than in three days, Jerry Quintal said. Considering the national and international demand for their meats by mail order and over the Internet, they’ll now be able to more easily meet their customers’ expectations. While their business was interrupted by the fire’s destruction of their plant, this widespread following of customers was evident. Oscar ’s received thousands of e-mails expressing sympathy for their loss from people all over the nation, many recalling personal stories of how Oscar ’s Smoke House was a favorite Adirondack stop-off, or how
Jerry and Joq Quintal pose Friday in front of their new headquarters, which will open to the public Saturday for the first time, following a devastating Sept. 4 fire. Photo by Thom Randall
Oscar’s employees (left to right) David Decker, Lynn Oehler and Bob Morehouse package meats at Oscar’s after they emerged Friday from the new, computerized smokers.

beloved their products were for generations. These e-mails implored them to rebuild, but the Quintals didn’t need convincing. Both Joq and Jerry Quintal knew they’d be back in action as quick as they could, they said Friday. “When the fire was still burning, I knew we’d rebuild,” Joq Quintal recalled. The demolition work — and recovering some of the business artifacts took almost three weeks. In the meantime, employees were at work developing designs for a new plant, applying for permits, and choosing the most appropriate equipment — some items came from as far away as Germany. In a month, excavation for the new building was accomplished, and pipes were laid for the geothermal wells, and soon after, the concrete floor was poured. Within four days, the new steel frame for the building had been erected. Over the next several months, equipment arrived and was installed and tested. Federal and state approvals were completed Feb. 5 for their meat-processing operation, and production began four days later. In three days, Oscar ’s had processed three and a half tons of meat, and Jerry Quintal said they would have all their traditional products on hand for opening day this Saturday. Friday, all three new smokers were operating, smoking one ton of hams, 1,500 pounds of turkey breast and 1,000 sticks of beef jerky simultaneously. The process of rebuilding, Quintal said,
Oscar’s offerings boosted WARRENSBURG — The new equipment and facilities at the rebuilt Oscar ’s Smoke House will allow an array of new products to be offered. Their expanded retail store, nearly doubled in size, will include a full delicatessen, including a wide offering of salads and an expanded selection of cold cuts and specialty products. The new smoker equipment installed at Oscar ’s allows the employees to produce new varieties of meats and cheeses. Their new smokers have chilling apparatus that
allows them to not only produce different kinds of cured cheeses, but lox and other cold-smoked meats. Also, the expanded cooler and shelf space at the new store will allow them to carry more offerings from other gourmet goods from local purveyors, including maple syrup by Mike Hill, aged cheeses by Joe Raiti, award-winning specialty goat cheeses by Nettle Meadow Farm, Rock Hill Bakehouse breads, and specialty condiments including More Than Mustard, produced in Glens Falls.
Take an Oscar’s artifact home with you WARRENSBURG — For many decades, Oscar's Smoke House has been a landmark Adirondack business — and generations of Adirondack visitors and residents have enjoyed both their meats and their experience at the store. Those seeking to take home a memento of Oscar ’s can now do so in several new ways. In addition to selling T-shirts and hats bearing their logo, Oscar ’s will now be offering a full line of children’s wear, shirts for all ages, aprons and other clothing items. In addition, they’ll be offering bricks from the original Oscar ’s smokehouse at $5
apiece. These bricks were salvaged from the rubble following September ’s fire. For years, visitors have taken photographs of their family members beside Oscar ’s pig statuettes or next to their sign. From now on, they’ll be able to take photos of folks next to a replica of Oscar ’s original smoker, which was built just north of the building out of the original smoker bricks. Those attending the Grand Opening ceremonies Friday will also have t he opportunity to get their hands on a limited-edition, numbered Oscar ’s piggy bank, we’re told.
was expedited by Glens Falls National Bank, which provided cash and extended credit to the business as needed. “The support we’ve had from Glens Falls National Bank has been fabulous,” Quintal said. “It’s made reconstruction a smooth, quick process.” Jerry and Joq Quintal also said they’ve been overwhelmed by the support of the local community, citing not only the outpouring of sympathy over the loss, but the countless offers to help out, including those just

this week who have volunteered to stock shelves and get the store ready for its grand reopening. “The support from local people has been just incredible,” Jerry Quintal said, noting that since the fire people from near and far have bought a total of 1,000 Oscar ’s gift certificates, which have provided cash flow for the business while production was idle. Joq Quintal, who is the third generation of Quintals to operate the business, said he is dedicated to nurturing the enterprise and taking it to new heights, regardless of the challenges that lie ahead. “I love what we put out and what we do with people — our customers and employees,” he said. “I can’t wait for the next 25 years — This is all about continuing an Adirondack tradition.”

Burghers defeat Cardinals in rematch Revenge is sweet for squad
Warrensburg 58 Fort Ann 49 FORT ANN -- What a difference three weeks and some strategy adjustments can mean in high school basketball. With tweaked game play and a steely will, the Warrensburg boys basketball team defeated Fort Ann in a hot-shooting rematch Saturday on the same court they lost by a crushing 17 points three weeks earlier. The Adirondack League crossover game demonstrated clearly to Warrensburg players and fans what their team is capable of, as no less than four Burgher players tallied double figures. The win provided a dose of confidence for the team as it headed into Sectional play this week. Coach Rich Schloss said he changed the team’s offensive patterns to loosen up the game and create shooting opportunities for more of his players. “Our new motion offense allows our players to get more looks, giving everybody some good shots rather than a few key players,” he said. Mike Perrone scored 16 points to lead Warrensburg. Ryan Belden and Brendan Frye each scored 12, while Hunter Werner added 10 for the Burghers. The prior game against Fort Ann, this quartet shot only 14 points combined against the Cardinals. Also key to the win was a tweaked Burgher man-to-man defense, which contained the Cardinals’ shooting opportunities, Schloss said. “What won the game is we worked on boxing out and the kids played hard defensively, shutting them down pretty good,” he said. Schloss added that the win was also a matter of attitude. “We went in knowing they beat us, and to not underestimate them,” he said. With seven minutes left in the game, the Cardinals were down 17 points, then with three and a half minutes to go, they narrowed the gap to four points after Warrensburg substituted freely, but Warrensburg put their starters back in to boost their margin to nine points and secure the win. Assisting Perrone, Frye, Belden and Werner were Mike Curtis with three points, Jason Power with two, plus one point from Tyler Williams, just drafted from the JV team, who hit a foul shot for his first Varsity basket. Robert Sprague led Fort Ann with 24 points and 12 rebounds. With the win, Warrensburg improves to 10-8 for the 200910 season. While the win demonstrates to the Burgher team they’re true capabilities, they’ll need all the confidence they can muster for the Sectional tournament. This year, the divisions have been realigned and Warrensburg, for many years a “D” or “C” competitor, will be competing against both “C” and bigger “CC” schools. Schloss said his team was up to the challenge. “We’re peaking at a good time,” he said. “When you play good defense, box out well and spread the shots around, good things happen.”
Lake George 51, Fort Edward 41 FORT EDWARD -- There’s a burden that comes with being the perennial “big shot” in the Adirondack League, and it’s that everyone is gunning to bring you down. And that’s what almost happened Monday, if it weren’t for a scoring surge by Matt McGowan that turned around a seven-point third quarter deficit, converting it into a 10point win for his Warriors. Trailing Fort Edward 34-27 at the end of the third quarter, Lake George rallied with 24 points to defeat Fort Edward 5141 in a league crossover game. Matt McGowan’s 10 fourth-quarter points were aided by the fact that foul trouble plagued Nick Abare, McGowan’s Fort Edward counterpart. McGowan scored 22 points in the victory, followed by Alex Hladik with 17. Jeff Maldonado added six, Aaron Chambers contributed four, and Chris Kosz chipped in two. For Fort Edward, Abare and Mike Taft each scored 11 to lead their team. With this game behind them, Lake George improves to 144 for the season.
Hartford 42, North Warren 40 CHESTERTOWN -- The North Warren Cougars put forth a scrappy fight in their near-upset of the Hartford Tanagers Monday. Kept to the perimeter by a tough Hartford defense, Cougar Joe Aiken scored six three-pointers in the close game. North Warren launched the game with an 13-8 lead in the first quarter, but their effort was counteracted by an 11-4 second-quarter Hartford resurgence, and the game was neckand-neck from then on. Aiken ended up with a game-high 24 points that may also be his highest season tally. In the effort, Jeff Bennett contributed 11, Kristian Seeley added three and Benn Frasier had two. Hartford’s Charles Cornell scored 14 points to lead the balanced Tanagers effort.

Corinth 30, Lake George 27 LAKE GEORGE -- In a gritty battle of defenses, Corinth downed Lake George 30-27 on Feb. 10 to secure the Adirondack League West Division title. It was a bitter loss for the Warriors, who nearly own that moniker, having won it year after year during the last several decades. Corinth set the pace in the first half with their tough defense, containing Lake George to 21-8. Lake George answered back, fighting to within one points with three minutes left to play. But Corinth’s defense and rebounding secured the final margin. With the win, Corinth — with a 13-1 league record — advanced to play East Division winner Argyle Tuesday for the league championship. Matt McGowan led his team with 10 points, followed by Alex Hladik with nine, J.D. Jenkins with six and Jeff Maldonado with two.

Feds back down, Adirondack signs to remain standing By Jon Alexander thom@denpubs.com
Building From page 9 This trend of increased dedication is evident in the number of boys achieving Eagle Scout status, Hayden said. Decades ago, about 20 or so scouts would achieve this high rank in the Twin Rivers Council, and now this number ranges from 30 to 50. In Troop 30 in the Chestertown-Brant Lake area alone, a total of five scouts are preparing this year to earn their Eagle Scout rank. Hayden said many factors are key in the boosted involvement. “Great leadership, good Scouts and a supportive community conducive to scouting are all important factors,” he said. “Our mission is to instill our core values in young people so they can become better adults.” The result yields very positive effects for area communities, he said. “The Scouts that are involved in the program are now stay-

The projects Eagle Scouts and troops are undertaking are increasingly more ambitious, he said, noting how in North Warren and Warrensburg areas, scouts have built large pavilions that will serve their communities for years to come. Another shining example is the “Scouting for Food” annual food drive conducted by area Boy Scouts. The 70-plus troops collect tens of thousands of food items each year, and the groceries collected are donated to local food pantries in the town where they are collected, Hayden said. Observers have noted that during the recent economic downturn, food collections have thrived in rural areas despite the high level of prevailing unemployment. Hayden deferred credit from the scouts to local citizens, particularly those of modest means. “The high level of donations speaks very well not only of our Scouts and leaders who recognize this challenge, but to the communities we serve, that they are supporting their neighbors in this time of need.”
WARRENSBURG — In an apparent victory for local organizations and the Adirondack Park Agency, the state Department of Transportation has reached a compromise with the Federal Highway Administration that will allow the majority of yellowon-brown signs to remain along the roadways in the park.
