By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — Gazing at her husband Jeff, Tanya Wemett’s eyes filled with tears. “He’s my miracle man,” she said, recalling last week how the fast action of North Warren Emergency Medical Services personnel saved his life when he suffered a full heart attack in late October. Jeff Wemett looked back at Tanya and smiled. “It’s good to be alive,” he replied. Tanya and Jeff joined North Warren EMT Laura Eklund Feb. 23 in recalling how emergency responders, doctors, and the Wemett’s son Nolan brought Jeff back from the edge of death. Mid-day on Oct. 29, Jeff Wemett had been in the garage of the Wemett’s Landon Hill Road home, changing tires on the family jeep. Jeff walked back into their home, telling Tanya he was experiencing some heartburn. Knowing that Jeff rarely complains, Tanya knew

Carnival wraps up challenging season By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Despite fickle weather, the Lake George Winter Carnival prevailed in 2012 during its four-

week run that concluded Sunday, organizers said. The two mainstay elements for activities at the renowned winter festival — lake ice and a blanket of snow — were all but absent this year in its fourweek run in February.

For a half century, the carnival has hosted a variety of races on the lake ice, as well as sled dog racing, toboggan rides and snowmobiling on thick blankets of snow. This year, the lake never froze over as is traditional. There was also just a

WARRENSBURG — To boost public nutrition while helping people save time, several groups are collaborating on a project to distribute fresh produce at workplaces. They are seeking people interested in helping administer groups at various workplaces who would join Community Supported Agriculture programs in the southern Adirondacks. Cornell Cooperative Extension and Adirondack Harvest have received a grant through the Cornell Small Farms Program to fund the effort, seeking to organize CSA groups in Warren, Washington and Saratoga counties. The southern Adirondack region has a strong agricultural tradition, and a revival of small-scale farming is now growing in Warren County, according to Adirondack Harvest project coordinator Teresa Whalen of Warrensburg. Farmers’ markets are now found in many communities northern Warren County communities, and they have been well-attended, she said. Workplace CSAs go a step further in providing easy access to fresh produce, she continued. With gasoline prices soaring and processed food becoming more expensive, the stage is set for individuals to connect with local farmers for food that offers good nutrition, Whalen said. “We’re working to create access to local top-quality foods to save people time and gasoline, and boost their nutrition and health — by matching up individuals with farmers and their produce,” she said. A presentation describing workplace CSAs will be given at 9 a.m. Wednesday, March 21 at the Glens Falls YMCA, 600

Glen St. All who have interest in workplace distribution of vegetables — Farmers, worksite representatives and interested individuals —are encouraged to attend. CSA programs operate when a group of individuals or families commit in advance of a growing season to purchase a “share” of a farmer ’s output — an arrangement that slashes transportation, distribution and marketing costs as well as eliminating the middleman’s markup. The program is to explain the various types and benefits of CSAs, the shared risks, and the long history of success of such ventures, Whalen said. “Educational materials will be provided, ideas exchanged, concerns voiced and connections made,” she said. For further information and to register contact Laura McDermott at 746-2562 or lgm4@cornell.edu, or Teresa Whalen at 466-5497 or taawhalen@yahoo.com.

Warrensburg High School students belonging to the local chapter of the Junior State of America pose in front of the USS Constitution during a recent trip to Boston. The excursion featured a weekend of debating and sightseeing, chaperoned by Warrensburg high School teacher and club advisor Io Bruce. The group participated in various debates at the Northeast JSA’s 2011 Fall Convention, held in Boston’s historic Park Plaza Hotel. Discussions ranged from whether developing countries should be required to follow environmental policies to the quality of today’s pop music. The students also toured Quincy Market, Faneuil Hall, and climbed the 294 steps of the Bunker Hill Monument. The WCS students said the three-day trip was fun and educational, as they shared ideas with students from across the country and explored historic sites.

Valley Road Maple Farm adds 12 miles of new tubing THURMAN — Valley Road Maple Farm, owned by Mike Hill of Warrensburg and Ralph Senecal of Queensbury and their wives, has dramatically increased its sap collection potential by adding 12 miles of new tubing and doubling the number of taps— bringing their total to 2800 in all. Both Senecal and Hill have been involved with sugaring for decades. Ralph grew up on a Vermont maple farm, and Mike made his first syrup when he was ten years old, claiming for his first sugarhouse the four-holer outhouse that had served the one-room schoolhouse his parents renovated into the family home. This duo has worked together for years, teaming up for several years with the late George Lane of Warrensburg, tapping trees all over that town. As finances allowed, they gradually bought better equipment. In June of 1998 the Senecals and Hills convinced Hollis Combs, legendary sugarmaker from Thurman, to sell them his renowned sugarbush. Over the next couple of years they built a spacious new sugarhouse, ran six miles of tubing and set 1500 taps. Between the work required to upgrade the operation and the weather, sugaring at the new facility was delayed until 2001. Since then Valley Road Maple has been making a name for itself, pulling in awards. In 2005 they nabbed first prize for light amber syrup in the International Syrup Contest at the Vermont Maplerama. At the 2008 & 09 New York

Mike Hill and Ralph Senecal State Fair their maple candy won first prize. In October of 2010 the North American

producing provinces, awarded Valley Road Maple second prize for its light amber syrup. Hill has assumed leadership roles in the New York State Maple Producers’ Association (http://www.nysmaple.com/), and is now serving on the board of directors and working as co-legislative coordinator to encourage the legislature to dedicate more funding to promote New York State maple products. Back on the Thurman front, the new tubing was run last summer. New vacuum pumps, a new filter press and new reverse osmosis machine were installed to accommodate an expanded sap-processing capacity. And now the scene is set for a new sugaring season. The unusual weather this year raises questions about when tapping will begin (some producers around the region have already boiled some sap), how the trees will produce, and for how long. In other words, it will be business as usual for sugar makers, with weather always the wild card. The public is welcome to come tour this facility and see its wares during Thurman Maple Days, March 10-11, March 17-18, March 24-25. Although the open houses run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, Valley Road will open an hour earlier, as Mike will be attending to his pancake grill from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., flipping flapjacks and serving them up with Oscar ’s Smoke House sausages — and Valley Road Maple syrup, of course.

School budgets: Now is the time to let your voice be heard

March 3, 2012

www.adirondackjournal.com

he ever-present national debt has become a running joke for some, and troubles with state budgets in California and New York are leading to leaner governments. Those same troubles are trickling down to our local governments, and the recent news that Beekmantown Central School has to close a $3.2 million budget gap show just how much government can mean to the people. It’s long been taken for granted that kids can try out for their school athletic teams for a chance to wear the jerseys in a contest of speed and strength. The head cheerleader and starting quarterback being crowned king and queen at the prom is part of the American cultural fabric, even if it doesn’t happen all that often. The wrestler who sits in your homeroom and took the state title isn’t just making his parents proud; he’s giving the whole school a reason to cheer. And on the way, those student-athletes are learning valuable lessons about teamwork, consistent effort and time management. It’s not just competition. It’s another branch of education. The same can be said of music and art, public school programs that have faced cuts and left schools a poorer educational experience. The trend to teach to tests and not to a young mind’s abilities is easy to criticize. Students aren’t clones with digitized minds that all process data in the same way. They’re individuals, with unique interests and their own way of learning. They deserve opportunities to grow in their own way. An education where a student’s given some ways to build their own strengths and gain new talents on the way makes for stronger individuals and a stronger society. It takes all kinds to keep a dynamic and complex civilization running. It’s a hard sell, though. As governments from top to bottom are experiencing tighter budgets, citizens are trying to make their dollars stretch, too. School tax-

es are a big part of the tax bill. Schools are important for our future society, and good schools can make a home more valuable. But what does that do for a struggling family’s budget this month? More than 40 positions were proposed for elimination in the superintendent’s budget plan. With fewer employees in the schools, the issue of teaching to a student’s strength becomes even less possible. Class sizes will continue to grow, and extracurricular program offerings will continue to shrink. For these options to at least stabilize, creative — not drastic — measures need to be taken. A school district’s administration is expensive. What if in the same way that cash-conscious townships share services, like plowing, schools started sharing services? Shared, centralized administration offices; shared kitchens that deliver hot food from centralized facilities; shared record-keeping; shared typists — maybe even shared superintendents. If the music program is slashed, it’s never going to rebound. That’s just the new budget. If interscholastic athletics are shut down, they’ll never start back up. That will simply be the new budget. Even if those critical decisions are put off this year, they’ll need to be decided soon. And the same thing will start coming up in more and more local governments. Villages in the region are weighing dissolution right now. Once something’s lost, it’s not likely to come back. What’s worth keeping? Now is when those decisions matter most. Get your voice heard in local government.

Minister heeds call •100 Years Ago – March 1912•

Despondent woman takes her life The people of Bolton Landing were greatly shocked on the morning of March 6, 1912 to learn of the tragic death of Mrs. William Cole, who during the night had ended her life by opening an artery in her left arm with a razor and allowing herself to slowly bleed to death. Life was extinct when she was found at eight o’clock in the morning by her father, Asa Granger, with whom she had made her home. Coroner Rogers ruled that the death was clearly a case of premeditated suicide. Mrs. Cole was about 50 years of age and during the past 17 years, some people said she had suffered spells of temporary insanity. Owing to domestic troubles, her husband left her about nine years ago and since that time she had grieved constantly which greatly aggravated her mental condition. She had many good qualities which won her a large circle of friends who deeply regret the sad ending of her life. Besides her father, she is survived by a daughter, Gladys Cole. Her husband’s whereabouts are unknown. She was buried in the Huddle Cemetery.

Local explorer believed safe A press dispatch from New York, dated March 8, 1912, states that Harry V. Radford, the arctic explorer and fellow of the American Geographical Society, who at one time was a resident of North Creek and left there in 1909 for four years exploration of Northern Canada, is reported forsaken by his guides in the barren lands of the northern end of Hudson Bay, 500 miles inland and it was believed that he was left without provisions. However, a late dispatch from Ottawa, Canada states it is believed there that the report is incorrect. A letter from T.G. Street, Radford’s companion, recently stated that it had been arranged for guides to turn back after the first stage of the northern journey and it is thought that the Indians leaving the men was only part of the pre-arranged plan.

Plank road sold to Warren County On March 6, 1912, the Warren County Board of Supervisors in session at Lake George, adopted a resolution introduced by Supervisor E.J. Worden of Caldwell, appropriating $6,000 for the purchase of the Lake George-Warrensburgh Plank Road Co. and all rights and titles and other claims to the road of that entity. In consideration of the

The Rev. Thomas O. Grieves, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Greenwich, has accepted a call to the Free Methodist Church at Lockport effective after the upcoming meeting of the Troy Conference. Rev. Grieves is well-known in this locality as an able preacher, sweet singer and firm temperance advocate. (Note: The tragic story of Rev. Grieves and 8-year-old Mary McGinn, whom he accidentally ran over and killed in 1911 in Saratoga Springs with his powerful touring car, was told in this column in the May 21 and July 30, 2011 issue of the Adirondack Journal. This good man was inconsolable in his grief and sold his automobile, his cottage at Riverside campgrounds and all else he owned to raise $1,000 to compensate Mary’s bereaved family.)

payment of $6,000 by the county treasurer, John Bazinet, the county acquires all rights, privileges and titles in the road and is relieved of all claims against the Plank Road Company. Supervisor Patterson of Glens Falls cast the only opposing vote. (Note…The plank road consisted of heavy boards laid crossways on timbers over a graded surface. A plank road was originally laid from Glens Falls to Lake George in 1848 by a stock company and the section from Lake George to Warrensburgh was laid in 1849 and later on in 1850 the road was extended “through the wilderness” from Warrensburgh to Chestertown. Weather raised havoc on those early roads. It was a rough but essential way to travel in the Adirondack’s frontier days. At the turn of the century with the advent of automobiles, better roads became a necessity and Warrensburgh’s Senator James Emerson used his power to advance them.)

News roundabout

Supervisor controversy ended The town board of Hague, as was anticipated, has appointed Richard J. Bolton supervisor, thus ending a heated controversy brewing since the election last fall. Mr. Bolton, a Republican, who had held the office two terms, was a candidate for re-election last September against Bernard A. Clifton, a Democrat. Clifton was elected by four votes but was forced to be disqualified from holding the office because of the fact that he was a school trustee at the time he was elected supervisor. A lengthy dispute between the politicians of the town than ensued and the town board refused to make an appointment for some time as the members were divided between Clifton and Bolton. The matter finally came to a vote on March 16, 1912 when Bolton was finally re-appointed as supervisor by a vote of three to two votes by the town board. (Today, Hague has yet again a new supervisor. She is Edna Frasier, who took over the office from Dan Belden, who has been prominent in Hague town politics since 1971. Frasier was featured in the Feb. 4, 2012 edition of the Adirondack Journal. She is the sister of Eileen Frasier, owner of Seasons Bed & Breakfast in Warrensburgh. Also, note the controversy created when a politician holds a position on the school and town boards. In November, Warrensburg voters elected Linda Baker Marcella to the town board although she has been a member of the Warrensburg Central school board for years.)

Baby boy Allison Mark Langworthy, born Jan. 24, 2012, survived that year’s cold winter in a cozy box in the family’s kitchen stove at their home on River St. in Warrensburgh. He’s the grandfather of Allison Apple, who still lives in town on Hudson St. with her husband Thomas and several of their children.

Stork leaves little bundle A baby boy, Allison Mark Langworthy, was born Jan. 24, 1912 to Frederick and Susan O’Leary Langworthy on River St. in Warrensburgh. The boy, who weighs only three and a half pounds, is the grandson of Lewis Langworthy. (Note: The baby was so small that he was kept in a box inside the oven of the kitchen stove to keep him warm. He was born in the house that is today immediately next door west of Spirits Tavern, called the Wayside Hotel in those days. He died in 1971. His daughter, Linda Apple, wife of Thomas Apple, lives today with her family at 49 Hudson St., Warrensburg.)

The state Department of Highways has sent a corps of its engineers, twelve in number, to Warrensburgh to survey the route for the new road between Warrensburgh and Thurman Station. The men are now at work and the new road is expected to be completed this year. Wanted: J.P.

A big revival meeting was held at the Byrnes schoolhouse in Igerna on March 17, 1912 conducted by Rev. William H. Morrissey. In Riparius, the stork visited the home of Walter Galusha March 9, 1912 and left twin sons, Alfred and Albert Galusha. Harry Baldwin is building an ice house at Friends Lake.

Sportsmen want lake access protected, too To the Adirondack Journal: Sportsmen don’t want any invasive species in the pristine waters of Lake George because they are a threat to area fisheries and water purity.

Anglers have seen the decline of water conditions and the fisheries of many bodies of water throughout New York. Fishermen enjoy traveling from one lake to another so they can fish different species — and they have seen conditions change and are aware of the effects that invasive species can make to any body of water. Responsible sportsmen take measures to prevent transporting and introducing invasive species from one waterway to another. Sportsmen read the signs located at public boat launches regarding invasive species as well as the many brochures detailing prevention of the spread of invasives. Members of the Lake George Fishing Alliance believe that education of all boaters is of great importance and a key factor to prevent the spread of invasive species. We highly respect and promote the Lake George Association’s Lake Steward program to help educate all boaters. Sportsmen are against the concept supported by some Park Commission members to mandate boat inspections and to gate all public boat launches to prevent access and launching of a boat when an inspector is not on duty. Anglers don’t fish only between the hours of 9 to 5. Many sportsmen begin hunting or fishing before sun-up. We also hunt and fish 12 months of the year and not just during the Lake George tourist season. Sportsmen want and need 24/7 unrestricted access to launch our boats at all public boat launches that our hunting and fishing licenses fund. Thank you for your editorial in the Feb. 25 issues of Denton publications regarding this vital issue. Walt Kendall President Lake George Fishing Alliance

Maxam ousted as Chester’s animal control officer By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — The controversial and stormy three-month tenure of June Maxam as town of Chester Animal Control Officer came to an end Thursday night. At the conclusion of a special town meeting Feb. 23, the town board voted to relieve Maxam of her duties immediately and pay her up through Tuesday night — as well as award her two weeks severance pay. Voting to end her employment in the parttime post were board members Michael Packer, Stephen Durkish, Edna Wells and Karen DuRose. Voting against the termination was town Supervisor Fred Monroe. The vote was taken after a closed-door session that lasted about 40 minutes. Immediately beforehand, the board had discussed details of proposed amendments to the town animal control and adoption policies. Town Board member Karen DuRose questioned whether it was appropriate to require potential adoptees of stray dogs to list the names and ages of all members of the household, including children. “This is a little intense,” she said of the proposed adoption procedure. DuRose also questioned whether a proposed adoption fee of $150 might be a deterrent to adoptions. Maxam responded by jabbing her finger in the air toward DuRose and asking in an angry tone, “Do you have any idea what it costs to maintain an animal per year?” “If you don’t want the dog for $150, you

The town of Chester's dog shelter, nearing completion, is intended to be used to steer more stray dogs into adoption rather than euthanasia. The adoption program's proponents included Chester's recent animal control officer June Maxam, who was terminated from her position Feb. 23 soon after she aired comments tinged with anger at the town board as they discussed animal control and adoption policies.

the meeting, and didn’t return. After announcing their decision to oust Maxam, town board members refused to comment on their decision. “It just didn’t work out,” Stephen Durkish said. Monroe said enough had already been

aired on the subject. “There’s been enough controversy — I don’t want to comment,” he said. Maxam’s employment status hadn’t been clear to many this past week, as she had indicated to the town board Feb. 14 that she’d quit, Monroe confirmed Friday. Monroe said Maxam voiced her resignation because she felt the board had not backed her up in an apparent disagreement she had with her niece over an adoption of a dog obtained through Maxam. Two days later, however, she was back at work on the job, Monroe said the day afterwards. He said that although some people felt she no longer in fact held the job, he thought the resignation would need to be submitted in writing to be effective — and it wasn’t. Monroe praised her work, particularly on her efforts in seeking adoptions for abandoned animals. Her appointment in November to the $6,600-per-year post had sparked dozens of calls, letters, emails and blog posts criticizing the action, and it received considerable attention over the Internet. Maxam for three decades has assailed public officials and local citizens through her website and newspaper, North Country Gazette. Some citizens had said they wondered how she could effectively enforce the town and state’s dog control laws, as so many citizens could contend they wouldn’t have a fair court hearing because they’ve been targets of her criticism through her writings.

Citizens call for tightened oversight of development around lake By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Local planning and zoning reviews of developments aren’t rigorous enough to properly protect the water quality of Lake George, two local citizens warned the town board this week. At a town meeting held Feb. 13, Chris Navitsky of the Lake George Waterkeeper and Diamond Point resident Melissa Vito both asked the Lake George Town Board to tighten up the municipality’s development regulatory process. Their pleas were aired during the first public comment period held by the new Lake George Town Board

could improve the planning process,” she said, calling for town board to require the planning officials to hold pre-design sessions, tighten up the variance process and listen to Navitsky’s advice. Following Vito’s plea, Navitsky delivered his presentation, noting that several recent subdivision applications before the town planning board proposed development density at maximum levels allowed, but exceeding reasonable levels. “Unfortunately, it has been a continued practice of the town planning board to continually allow the maximum number of units for property, based on zoning without consideration of potential negative impacts to the environment or community,” he said, noting that the density proposed often exceeded the capacity of the land to accommodate the de-

velopment. He said that the planning board often calculated maximum density levels mathematically, rather than the board appropriately considering unbuildable lands, including steep slopes, wetlands or underwater acreage. “A planning board must be allowed to make decisions and be flexible with aspects of the code in light of specific site conditions,” he said. Vito said that the zoning board was granting “huge variances,” including allowing far more housing units to be built on plots, without requiring vegetative buffers. Vito called for the town board to consider make the planning process more rigorous and tightening up their zoning code. Vito also offered specific

suggestions. She proposed that the boards require adjustments to development plans, including increasing setbacks, requiring plantings of side buffers near waterways, and mandating that drainage swales on developments be left unpaved so runoff could infiltrate the ground. New town supervisor Dennis Dickinson, a professional engineer who has represented developers in front of the town’s planning and zoning boards, praised the board members’ diligence and expertise. “We have very qualified planning and zoning boards, and all the members are interested in maintaining the health and well-0being of the town,” he said. “They are doing a yeoman’s job.” Dickinson suggested that

since they’ve required citizens to pre-register in order to speak at meetings. Vito warned that algae blooms were increasingly apparent off the western shores of the lake, and that if that fertilizer pollution is left unchecked the lake might become too fouled for swimming. She said that during her decades of living near the lake, she’s seen the water quality decline substantially. “We are now seeing the clear signs that this lake is headed for ruin,” Vito said. She said that her repeated complaints to town officials about lakewater quality haven’t evoked response, with officials merely blaming old septic systems or unavoidable highway runoff. “There has to be better oversight of what the boards are doing and ways they

many of the concerns they aired could be answered by examining the planning and zoning regulations and redrafting them if necessary. In campaigning for office last fall, Dickinson called for revising the planning and zoning codes to allow new developments with updated features be constructed to boost the prevailing quality of properties surrounding the lake.

Howe named ‘Firefighter of 2011’ by Pottersville Dept. By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com POTTERSVILLE — At a recent gathering of both local and regional emergency officials and firefighters, Douglas Howe was named 2011 Firefighter of the Year by the Pottersville Volunteer Fire Department. Howe was given a standing ovation by the 70 people attending the annual awards banquet of the fire department, held Jan. 14. In the award presentation, Howe was hailed for his commitment to the fire company since he joined at age 16. It was noted that he regularly manned the firehouse when others weren’t available, and was faithful in attending training sessions and helping lead company drills. It was noted that for his relatively young age, he was knowledgeable about firefighting, and even veteran firefighters sought his advice. He was also honored for setting an example of dedication for other company members. Also, Pottersville First Assistant Chief Kevin Feldt presented gag awards for unusual accomplish-

ments by members through 2011. These were followed by fire company service awards. Frank Meade took first place for most training classes and drills attended, followed by Doug Howe, Izzy and Kathleen Modert, Delvin Wheeler and Jon Barney. The Pottersville firefighters participated in a total of 997 training hours in 2011. Awarded for the most incident responses during the year was Kevin Feldt, followed by Rico Lopez, Eugene Carman, Doug Howe and Delvin Wheeler. Longevity awards were presented to Eugene Dutcher for 38 years; Gene Carman, 36 years; Frank Meade, 31 years; Kevin Ferguson, 27 years; as well as Kevin Feldt and Doug Howe. Area fire and emergency officials attending included Horicon Fire Chief Jim Hayes, Chestertown Fire Chief Jack Crossman, Riverside Fire Chief Bob Frevelle, Schroon Lake Fire Chief Rodney Secor and North Warren Emergency Squad President Kevin White. Also attending were Warren County emergency officials Ted Little, Scott Combs, Amy Drexel, and county dispatcher Blair Davies.

Upcounty group plans bicentennial celebration in P’ville POTTERSVILLE — A group of citizens from northern Warren County has set its sights on a major event in Pottersville in August 2013 to commemorate the county’s bicentennial — and they are now seeking area citizens to help plan for the festival. This event is set for Aug. 24, 2013 at the former Glendale property, which was once the Pottersville fairgrounds 100 or so years ago. According to present plans, the event will begin with a parade that will lead to the fairground site, where the community festival will offer such amenities as historical exhibits,

food, entertainment, and a spectacular fireworks finale. Planning the event is a citizen’s committee, “Team North Warren,” representing the towns of Chester and Brant Lake. The goals for this event, drafted by the group, are that the festival should be fun, educational, historical, commemorative, and promote business in the Towns. Many local organizations have been contacted to participate as this event is considered a substantial undertaking. Late last year, the countywide Bicentennial Citizen’s Committee requested that each town in the county hold both a major and a minor event to celebrate the county’s 200th an-

niversary. The local bicentennial committee chose the Glendale property for the major festival, while deciding that Horicon Day in Brant Lake and Summerfest in Chestertown — two established festivals — would serve as the minor events. The Pottersville event, which may include a parade that includes antique cars, is likely to be of historic proportions, a committee spokesperson said this week. Anyone interested in helping plan the event in Pottersville should contact Sylvia Smith at 494-3443, Nancy Tennyson at 494-3244, Karen Durose at 494-3543, or Nicole Howe at 494-7725.

Showcasing locals’ creativity, Krazy Derby attracts crowd Mishap ends race early

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — Despite a minor crash that ended a sledding event early, the Krazy Downhill Derby was a success, according to officials of the North Warren Chamber of Commerce, which sponsors the annual event. The Dynamite Hill Recreation Area sported a thick covering of snow due to the town of Chester ’s snow gun — a rarity for a municipal sledding course. But a thaw and temperature drop prior to the race may have formed ice underneath snow that made the course unusually slick, officials said. A homemade bobsled piloted by four children from Stony Creek hit a tow-rope pole beside the course, and they were taken by ambulances to the hospital for observation, but all was fine except for a fractured foot of one of the four. But with two ambulances called into service and none left on duty at the bottom of the hill, event organizers ended the race before all had completed their downhill runs, officials said. The large crowd of spectators, however, enjoyed the traditional aspects of the Krazy Downhill Derby — appreciating the fanciful and bizarre homemade sleds that demonstrated their creators’ sense of humor, imagination and creativity, according to Chamber president Barbara Thomas. Among the outstanding entries were a Volkswagen minibus, piloted by members of the Isachsen family, who were dressed up as freewheeling hippies. “They were hysterical,” Thomas said of the group from Brant Lake. In prior years, the Isachsens have created such craft as an ornate Viking ship, a Star Wars rocket ship, a Beverly Hillbillies car, and a giant duck. Another standout entry this year was an 1959 Edsel replica, named the “Sledsel.” Cre-

ated by Paul Matson of Chestertown. The vehicle’s front end was meticulously designed to resemble the ill-fated vehicle produced by Ford Motors in the late 1950s. Last year, Matson created an elaborate train — a locomotive and car. A total of 11 sleds sped down the hill, and all entrants were awarded Krazy Derby Tshirts for their efforts. A new feature of the Krazy Derby — a scavenger hunt on the new Caroline Fish Nature Trail — was well received by the spectators, Thomas said. The activity featured buckets attached to trees along the woodsy route, containing items for children to collect along the way. Adirondack Phantoms’ mascot “Dax” also provided entertainment, as he officiated the hockey shoot-out — another popular activity. Following Dax’s official duty, he engaged in a friendly snowball fight with children, which added some extra unanticipated fun to this year's Derby, Thomas said. “All in all, it was a successful event, although it was disappointing it had to close down early,” she said, adding that she was pleased that sledders didn’t suffer serious injuries.

Musician prompts Lake George As cost soars, LG suspends sewage purification project students to create songs Language Arts and Mathematics skills along the way. Topics included the weather cycle as well as Mathematics concepts. Each student wrote several songs in the project. The approach to the project was drafted in collaboration with the school’s MCI Committee, which consists of teachers and staff from the areas of art, music, physical education, high potential, and media arts, MCI chair Kenneth Schenk said. “The students have had a wonderful time creating lyrics while learning and reviewing important facts

that will eventually show up on local and state exams,” he said. Schenk said one of the primary goals of the MCI Committee has been to provide high quality educational enrichment activities that relate to the school’s curriculum. “Bringing in artists like Brian helps support and enhance the students’ learning through fun, innovative ways,” he said. The culmination of this work will be the professional recording of a music CD as well as a school performance in March.

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — A project to clean up the discharges of the village sewer treatment plant has been put on hold due to escalating potential costs. The village board decided to hold off on installing equipment in the plant that would remove nitrates, particularly ammonia, from the wastewater effluent. The board made their decision Feb. 22 after hearing from village Public Works Superintendent Dave Harrington about spiralling cost estimates of the installation. Until several weeks ago, the estimated cost of the equipment needed was $1.5 million. But in preparing the final design plans for the project, engineers working for the village, C.T.

Heatly 55, North Warren 41 ARGYLE — The Cougars were knocked out of Class D play in a quarterfinal showdown with Heatly Feb. 25. Heatly strolled ahead of North Warren with a 14-4 first quarter and built on their lead in the second and third. The Cougars caught up a little by leading a 16-10 fourth, but it wasn't nearly enough to challenge Heatly's victory. North Warren's Cassie Maday earned six rebounds while leading her team with 12 points. Kiera Warner followed with 11 points and four rebounds. Amber Frasier chipped in 9 points in the effort.

Sharon Springs 68, North Warren 29 STILWATER — The Cougars were outscored by a margin of at least two-to-one in all quarters when they lost their quarterfinal matchup Feb. 25. Benn Frasier led North Warren in the effort with 13 points including a three-pointer. Nick Sapienza added 11, also with a three. Hoosick Falls 55, Lake George 41 GLENS FALLS — The Warriors couldn't keep up with the pace set by Hoosick Falls Feb. 29, trailing 34-18 by halftime. Lake George led the third quarter 13-8, but couldn't catch up for the Class C advance. Aaron Chambers led the Warriors with 13 points. Joel Wincowski added 10. Ryan Moll made 10 rebounds.

QUEENSBURY — The Warren County Association of Realtors and the Multiple Listing Services recently installed their officers at a luncheon held at Great Escape Lodge. The following officers were installed by state Sen. Betty Little: For the Association of Realtors, named president was Tom VanAernem of VanAernem Realty; president-elect, Shelli Cameron of Coldwell Banker Prime Properties; and secretary, Eden Rae Whitaker of DeMarsh Real Estate. Designated as directors are Allen VanHoff of Keller-Williams Realty of Saratoga; Tina Foglietta of Coldwell Banker Prime Properties; Pam Dean of Davies-Davies & Associates; Judy Collins of Century 21 Boyle Realty, and Gary Cooper of LeCount Cooper Real Estate in Warrensburg. For the county Multiple Listing Service, named president was Joseph Woutersz of Hunt ERA Realty; president-elect, Mark Bergman of Bergman Real Estate; secretary,

pense to be $2.7 million. The village has a state Environmental Facilities Corp. “Green Innovations” grant of $650,000 lined up for the denitrification installation, but a balance of nearly $2.1 million would be left to taxpayers to shoulder if the equipment were installed, instead of $900,000 or so previously estimated. For several years, the level of nitrates in the plant’s discharges have exceeded state limits, Harrington said. The state has not issued a consent order for the violations, but it may do so at some point in the future if the nitrate problem isn’t remedied, he said. Board members said it was better to hold off on installing the denitrification equipment — to minimize any financial burden on taxpayers — and to wait until the technology decreased in price, or additional grant funds could be lined up.

LAKE GEORGE — The region’s largest and liveliest party of the year — occurring this weekend — is likely to surpass its prior records, organizers said this week. The 21st annual Bands ‘n Beans fest, a fundraiser for the Lake George Arts Project, is set for Roaring Brook Ranch off Rte. 9N in Lake George from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday, March 4. Annually, the Lake George Arts Project’s festival of chili and homegrown music features hundreds of people jamming the dance floor, gyrating to homegrown music while others are savoring chili concoctions prepared by dozens of restaurants and individuals. Restaurants take the chili competition very seriously, vying for bragging rights that will gain them renown. Each year, the music is as varied as the ingredients in the chili. While partyers have enjoyed chili spiked with venison, elk and ostrich — to name a few of the creative varieties — the music has been equally as diverse. The event will have acts performing on two stages simultaneously through

Feds may make decision on Tahawus RR appeal soon By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — The federal Surface Transportation Board may soon make a decision regarding the Saratoga-North Creek Railway’s proposal to operate a line on the Tahawus track between North Creek and Newcomb, according to STB officials. The decision will simply be an answer to the railway’s December appeal, made to the three STB members, asking them to reverse the director ’s decision of denying the railway’s class exemption to operate the Tahawus line as a “common carrier.” Being a common carrier means the railway would provide service to any shipper upon request, not just NL Industries, the owner of the Tahawus mine. Railway operators want to ship rock from the mine, which had been in full operation from the 1940s to the 1980s mainly processing ilmenite for titanium dioxide. While there is no deadline for the STB decision, the board will likely rule on the appeal in the coming weeks, according to a spokesman in the STB communications office who wished not to be named. If the appeal is granted, the Saratoga Railway will obtain operating authority. If it is denied, the railway must seek authority to operate either by 1) obtaining an individual exemption, or 2) filing an application. The railway could also choose not to pursue its attempt to operate as a common carrier. Obtaining an automatic class exemption to operate as a common carrier removes the application process, thereby expediting the railway’s operation of the Tahawus line. “However, even if the proposed transaction falls into one of the classes of transactions designated for an automatic exemption, the Director of the Office of Proceedings has discretion to deny the exemption if she believes that the transaction is too controversial, which is what occurred here,” the STB spokesman stated.

Controversy On Oct. 25, 2011, Saratoga-North Creek Railway officials formally requested an exemption with the STB to permit them to operate common carrier rail operations along 29.71 miles of track called the Tahawus Line. On Nov. 11, 2011, the environmental group Protect the Adirondacks filed a petition with the STB protesting the railway’s notice of exemption. In the fall, the Saratoga Railway bought the Tahawus line from NL Industries, and the right-of-way travels through private and public lands, including state Forest Preserve on the Vanderwhacker Mountain Wild Forest. Protect the Adirondacks listed seven issues about Saratoga’s exemption status, including the firm belief that an environmental review and a historic assessment must be performed. “The Tahawus rail spur was abandoned 22

Boosting traffic from page 1 latter group is also seeking additional signs along Rte. 8 to direct travelers to local businesses in compliance with the signage restrictions of the Adirondack Park Agency. It was also suggested at the Tri-Lakes meeting that local business groups work together to seek signage through the state’s Scenic Byways program, and perhaps recruit the blessing of the Adirondack North Country Association in a campaign to better inform motorists where local businesses are located. The Tri-Lakes Business Alliance voted at their meeting to adopt a mission statement. It reads: “...To improve the quality of life and promote economic prosperity in Northern Warren County through enhanced infrastructure, expanded tourism and beautification of our economic centers.” Alliance members noted they are working on developing an ATV trail system and making progress on boosting the development of affordable housing and a small-scale downtown sewer system.

years ago,” wrote John Caffrey, co-chair of the Protect the Adirondacks Conservation Advocacy Committee. “Further, court records and deeds show that the ROW easements on the Forest Preserve were taken by eminent domain during a wartime emergency, strictly for the purpose of constructing a rail spur over which to haul ilmenite ore from Tahawus. These ROW easements cannot legally be used for any other purpose.” On Nov. 23, 2011, STB Office of Proceedings Acting Director Julia Farr filed a decision rejecting the Saratoga Railway’s request for an exemption. On Dec. 2, 2011, Saratoga sent a letter to the STB appealing Farr ’s decision.

Letters galore Since the Saratoga Railway filed its appeal, there have been many municipalities, politicians, agencies and chambers of com-

Alliance members noted that although grant funding for sewer systems has recently become scarce, those municipalities that have project plans in place and possess the greatest need are more likely to receive funding. Alliance members said they’d continue to lobby town officials for development of such plans. The North Creek Chamber of Commerce and North Warren Chamber will be jointly hosting a mixer March 15 at the Panther Mountain Inn. Expected to give a presentation at the event is a representative of Centurion Cycling, which is sponsoring a large-scale bicycling race in June through Warren County. As many as 2,000 cyclists and their friends and families will be wheeling through the county on June 22 through 24, with scheduled stops in Chestertown, Brant Lake, Wevertown, Pottersville, Warrensburg, North Creek and Hague — and businesses are urged to take advantage of the influx of people. The next meeting of the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance is set for 9 a.m. Friday, March 9 at the Panther Mountain Inn in Chestertown.

The Tri-Lakes Business Alliance is seeking to draw more traffic into the hamlets of northern Warren County to boost commerce and revitalize downtowns. Although Chestertown’s commerce particularly has been struggling in recent years, one leading example of success is Country Girl Crafts & Quilts which routinely attracts people to Chestertown for its unique offerings.

Winter Carnival from page 1 few dustings of snow, which never accumulated to any substantial degree. But Mother Nature’s obstinate behavior didn’t faze Carnival volunteers, who moved some events off the lake and introduced new activities that weren’t weather dependent, event spokeswoman Nancy Nichols said. “All the people working on the Carnival this year did an outrageous job dreaming up and conducting events that weren’t ice or snow dependent,” she said. Whether it was turkey bowling, hula hoop contests, softball on the beach, zumba sessions or monster truck rides, visitors had plenty to do this year due to the Carnival volunteers’ creativity, she said. The weather dampened attendance anyway, as warm weather and lack of snow cover didn’t infect the public with cabin fever, or prompt them to relate to winter activities, she said. But he third weekend of the carnival did host robust crowds due to sunny weather and school vacation, she said. Nichols praised the Public Works employees of both Lake George Village and Warren County, who arranged permits for relocated events, stockpiled man-made snow, and shifted logistics for the event that routinely attracts thousands. This past weekend was relatively slow, due to light snow and wind on Saturday, and warmish weather on Sunday.

ATV riders were seen through Lake George Village Saturday and Sunday as well as the prior weekend, as the fest’s schedule of poker run events was extended. During the four-weekend run of the Lake George Winter Carnival in February, all-terrain enthusiasts enjoy visiting Lake George , as they are accorded special privileges for use of particular public thoroughfares during the event.

Several of the weekend’s substituted activities, non-weather-dependent, were squashed by unanticipated developments. Carnival officials planned a beach party and Mardi Gras volleyball for Saturday, but ironically, light snow killed the concepts. Also, the popular Tubby Tube slide —

merce filing letters with the STB supporting the company and its quest to operate the Tahawus line. NL Industries even write two letters of support, as did the town of Johnsburg. “The Town of Johnsburg fully supports the preservation and rehabilitation of all surviving rail infrastructure in the Adirondacks that will facilitate the creation of badly needed employment in this highly distressed area of New York, tap the use of rail as a green form of transportation for freight, restore historic infrastructure to promote tourism and further bolster the sustainability of our communities,” stated the town’s Jan. 17 resolution. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), however, is raising concerns over the state-owned lands the Tawahus line crosses. “The Tahawus Line ... traverses over 13 miles, and 220 acres, of State-owned and constitutionally protected Adirondack Forest Preserve land under the jurisdiction of NYSDEC,” DEC Division of Lands & Forests Director Robert Davies wrote to the STB on Dec. 15. “Not only do the State and NYSDEC have a significant interest in the future use of the land in question, there remain many unresolved legal issues concerning die status of the Tahawus Line, the easement on which it is located, and the uses, if any, to which the Tahawus Line may be put.” And on Jan. 10, Friends of the Upper Hudson Rail Trail President Curtiss Austin sent a letter to the STB advocating for the conversion of the Tahawus rail corridor to a multipurpose recreational trail under the Rail Banking Act. On Jan. 19, Saratoga wrote a letter to the STB regarding Upper Hudson's comments “insofar as they represent a misunderstanding of the law on the creation of rail trails under the National Trails Act.” Letters become part of the public record in a case and are viewed and considered by the three Board members.

which careens down a ramp with or without snow — was foiled by thieves this past weekend, Nichols said. Someone broke into a storage shed on the beach and stole the four large heavy-duty tubes that children had enjoyed using on a setup this year in Shepard Park, Nichols said.

“Each day this year we had to work with the hand we were dealt,” she said. “The volunteers were wonderful with their positive attitudes.” The ATV Poker Run, extended from the prior week, was well-received among vehicle enthusiasts. Saturday’s chicken wing cookoff was popular, however, as was the polar plunge. No less than 65 people tore into the 35-degree water at 3 p.m. Saturday, many in costume. Nichols said whether they were dressed as pirates, aliens or comic-book heroes, they demonstrated both creativity and bravery. Delighting the crowd, the swimmers went in and out of the water for an extended swim, she said. Saturday, a crowd of 300 or so gathered around the Carnival beach bonfire, which has in recent years has become the fest’s signature event, Nichols said. “Richie Ortiz and his music on guitar kept the people riveted to the Shepard Park beach after hours,” she said. February 2012 was the first Carnival season ever to have both no ice and no snow, testing the ingenuity of Carnival staffers. Five years ago, the lake didn’t freeze over, but the Carnival added sledding events, snow sculpture contests and ski races. This year, really posed a challenge, she said, noting that she’s recommended planning backup kayak and paddleboat races if the weather doesn’t cooperate in February 2012.

Rachael Ray ticket sale slated LAKE GEORGE — Lake George is destined to get a little perkier in several weeks, and it's not because spring is on its way. The local high school's most famous alumnus — now an internationally renowned television celebrity — is returning to conduct a benefit show at the high school, and tickets will go on sale next weekend. Celebrity chef, author and talk show host Rachael Ray, known for her sunny attitude, is presenting her 10th annual local benefit show Thursday, April 12 at the Lake George High School, and tickets will go on sale in the high school lobby from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, March 10. In past years, folks have camped out for hours — sometimes in cold and rainy weather — to get the tickets, so those seeking to attend should arrive early to obtain tickets, school representatives said. Tickets are $25 per person and there's a six-ticket maximum; cash or check only. As always, Rachael Ray will share recollections of the old days and chatter with the audience while she cooks up recipes.

New insertion machine beneficial at Denton Publications By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The Denton Publications main office in Elizabethtown has a new insert stuffing machine to improve the way readers get their news and coupons. The new machine, the Kirk Rudy 512 Insert Machine, will allow papers to be produced much faster, with more inserts for the desired destinations, according to Daniel Alexander, President and publisher of Denton Publications. The new machine has the capability of inserting up to eight fliers compared to the former insert machine, the Muller 227, which could only handle five inserts. The company plans to utilize both machines to decrease production time. “With the new machine we can run twice as many inserts per hour as we could before,” Productions Manager Bill Coats said. The new machine increases the possible number of inserts for the over 325,000 papers

the company prints every week. For advertisers, it also allows easier handling of a variety of flier styles. From glossy print pages to flat paper inserts the machine can handle the pages with less damage. “Because of the diversity in styles of a lot of the inserts, we see the new machine will allow us to more easily distribute different sized, shaped and textured advertisements with our papers,” Alexander said. The machine also has an Ink Jet labeling system that prints and places address labels for papers that are put into mailboxes to be stacked in the order the carrier will deliver them. Alexander said the machine will reduce the need for “pre-stuffing” inserts the former machine couldn’t handle. It will also allow for advertisements and fliers to be designated to the area of destination which will cut down on production time and increase productivity. “As most businesses are losing productivity, we are doing the exact opposite,” Alexander said.

EMS crew from page 1 something was wrong. Minutes later, he was seated in a chair, eating a tuna fish sandwich. “I was sitting watching television, and all of a sudden, I got chest pains,” Jeff recalled. It was 1:30 p.m. or so. Jeff was feeling numb, experiencing tingling sensations in his body. It would be his last memory of the day. Tanya then asked Jeff if he wanted her to drive him to get medical attention. Jeff blurted out one word in response: “Ambulance,” he said in a near-grunt. “I called 911 — I was just a basket case,” Tanya recalled. A Warren County dispatcher contacted the North Warren squad, relaying the message that a man in his early 50s on Landon Hill Road was having difficulty breathing. All of a sudden, Jeff started twitching, and Tanya dialed 911 a second time, reporting that Jeff was apparently experiencing a full cardiac arrest. The dispatcher repeated the alert, upgrading the severity of Jeff ’s condition. Jeff was not breathing. Jeff and Tanya’s son Nolan, 23, then pulled Jeff out of his chair as Tanya supported his head. With Jeff now lying on the floor, Nolan started pushing on his chest, administering chest compressions so his father would resume breathing. Within minutes, members of the fire department and the North Warren Emergency Squad arrived. Eklund provided emotional support while others attended to Jeff ’s medical crisis.

Jeff was trying to breath, but couldn’t exhale, Tanya recalled. “It panicked me — I didn't know what we could do,” Tanya said. But paramedics Jason Paul and Kevin White knew exactly what was needed. They administered life-saving drugs, Tanya said. “Jason remain so calm, and he did what he had to do, step by step,” she recalled, fighting back tears. “They did what they had to do, and didn’t give up on Jeff — everybody was fantastic.” Members of the latter group administered drugs to stimulate Jeff ’s heart. “And thank God Nolan did what he did,” Eklund added, referring to the chest compressions. “I am so proud of him,” Tanya replied. Among the responders on the scene at-

tending to Jeff ’s needs were Jason Paul; Bill LaPierre; Kevin Feldt; Kevin White; plus local firefighters Jack, Chelsea and Pam Crossman; and Laurie Bartlett; Pete Cafaro and Dennis Harppinger. The EMTs loaded Jeff into the ambulance, attached monitoring equipment, and gave him chest compressions. Jason Paul and Kevin White administered life saving drugs — one of them squeezed a bulb that pumped oxygen into Jeff ’s lungs while they both watched his condition on the monitor. Tanya rode shotgun in the ambulance — and Eklund was at the wheel. In the rearview mirror, Eklund saw the paramedics work to save Jeff ’s life, she recalled. “At first they were pumping air into his

lungs with the bag valve, then I saw them stop — replacing the hand pump with an oxygen mask,” Eklund recalled. “I said, YES, he’s got a pulse,” she added with a thumbs-up gesture. Arriving at Glens Falls Hospital, the doctors were poised at the side door, waiting. Immediately, Jeff was wrapped in ice blankets to induce therapeutic hypothermia, slowing his heart rate down, Eklund said. In the coming hours, Jeff ’s brothers and sisters gathered at the hospital, and Jeff was put into an induced coma for nearly two days so the doctors could conduct their surgical procedures with minimum risk. Having suffered between 85 and 90 percent blockage in his main arteries, he had four stents installed in his chest. Jeff was in the hospital three weeks, followed by recuperation at home, Tanya said. “For days after he got home, I was afraid to go to sleep,” she said. “I was nervous about what might happen to Jeff.” Now it was Tanya’s turn for help from the North Warren squad. She received assurances and emotional support from squad members, so she could both sleep, and cope while awake, she said. “The squad members were always on the other end of the phone, so I could cry,” she said. Since then, Jeff ’s been busy several days a week undergoing physical therapy at the hospital’s cardio rehabilitation center. He said he was looking forward to get back to work pruning and removing trees for his employer, Asplundh Tree Experts. Tanya Wemett said she was forever grateful to those who saved Jeff ’s life. “Now I have more heroes than I ever thought I would — for a lifetime,” she said.
