Sex offender law proposed for Lake George
County leaders eyeing new job cuts as budget process resumes By Thom Randall
Law would license, restrict motels By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — The town board of Lake George is considering a law that would limit the number of sex offenders that could live at once in a motel or hotel and require the business to post a public notification that such individuals were on the premises. This law, scheduled for a public hearing at 7 p.m. Wednesday March 31, would require motels and hotels hosting sex offenders to apply for and obtain a license, costing $3,000 per year, from the town government. Lake George Supervisor Frank McCoy said Monday he proposed the idea locally following the actions of the towns of Queensbury and Lake Luzerne in considering such a law, particularly after it was recently discovered that as many as 14 sex offenders were living simultaneously in the Best Inn motel on Big Boom Rd. in Queensbury. That situation prompted alarm among area officials and citizens that the traveling public should be aware of a potential threat to their security and the safety of particularly single females and children. McCoy said that was why Lake George was now considering the motel/hotel licensing law. “If Queensbury and Lake Luzerne enact strict laws, we’re going to get inundated,” he said. “I propose we enact a law also — although it may end up in court someday — because I don’t want us to be the community that houses all Warren County’s sex offenders.” He said Lake George’s proposed “sex offender” law, actually a law limiting the practices of public accommodations under state land-use laws, was patterned after Queensbury’s and Lake Luzerne’s pending ordinances, which followed the legislation passed recently by the Town of Colonie. Lake George town resident and former town board member George McGowan said the Colonie law was already under attack by

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — The Warren County Board of Supervisors began this week to take a close look at the 2011 budget, and talk has resurfaced about cutting more jobs in the county This story was first workforce. Last year, with posted on-line at the economy falter10 a.m., March 3 on ing and superviwww.Denpubs.com sors seeking to minimize county tax increases, the county leaders eliminated about 70 jobs, all but about eight abolished by attrition or axing open positions.

ON THE NET
2011, county supervisors are again looking at workforce reduction. March 3, the supervisors examined a document detailing $5 million in projected spending increases for 2011, which will likely be reduced by a $4.1 million decrease in expenses associated with the Hudson Falls trash plant operations as they wind down with the plant’s mortgage expiring and a sale of the facility anticipated. A preliminary assessment of the county’s finances shows that without any changes, county taxpayers are likely to shoulder a 2.5 percent tax increase for 2011, a percentage the supervisors are seeking to reduce to zero. In response, the county supervisors are launching a workforce efficiency study, and will be asking department heads for a full assessment of all positions in their depart-
ments and whether the posts are mandated, and how much offsetting revenue each post produces. Johnsburg Supervisor Sterling Goodspeed suggested March 3 that $1 million to $2 million be earmarked in the 2011 budget for unanticipated reductions in state reimbursements, considering the projected $8 billion shortfall in the state budget. Such a provision in the county budget would increase that projected property tax hike up by about four more percentage points. Among the expenses estimated to drive up taxes this next year are salaries and benefits of union workers, an increase of $675,000; new public works projects, $850,000; federally-sponsored Medicaid expenses, $500,000; and a newly-mandated allowance

The Warrensburg Town Planning Board met March 3 decided to recommend to the town board a zone change at Stewart Farrar and Elm St. from Professional/Multi Family to Hamlet Commercial. This change, if approved by the Town Board, sets the stage for the proposed construction of a new Stewart’s convenience store. The Planning Board set several stipulations on the zoning change, none of which will apparently effect Stewart’s plans. The stipulations are that no car wash business, auto repair shop, no auto sales store, nor night clubs be allowed on this property. Many townspeople are opposed to developing a commercial enterprise on the site based on the fact that this plot is part of a state-designated Historical District in the hamlet

At the March 3 meeting,Stewart's Shops showed site plans of the property, but cautioned that those plans are not necessarily final. This Planning Board’s endorsement of the zoning change doesn’t necessarily mean they are fully endorsing the proposed Stewart’s. The board’s recommendation is now in the hands of the town board, which will tackle the zoning change at a public hearing at 7 p.m., Tuesday March 16. If the town board approves a zoning change, Stewart's plans will go back to the planning board for a site plan review process.

WARRENSBURG — In an effort to keep school taxes from increasing, the Warrensburg Central School Board of Education is considering eliminating most all summer school programs, shutting down or consolidating several sports offerings, and cutting four teaching positions, school officials said Monday. The proposed actions include terminating a promising new Social Studies teacher Crystal Grimaldi, and not filling three other posts now held by retiring teachers. Grimaldi was praised Monday by sources at the school as an outstanding, inspiring teacher to ninth and 12th grade students. Those teachers retiring are fifth grade teacher Jerry Howe, High School Remedial Math teacher Nancy Hill, and Remedial Math teacher Robert Brown. Extracurricular activities would also be affected at Warrensburg Central, if proposals now under consideration were enacted. The winter cheerleading program would be eliminated, and the school’s boys soccer teams would be combined with Bolton Central’s, or eliminated, if a consolidation

concept doesn’t pan out. Warrensburg Central’s longstanding volleyball program, which has declined in recent years, would also face consolidation with Bolton or be axed. “These are just proposals at this time,” Superintendent Tim Lawson said Monday. The proposals include shutting down Elementary Summer School and the high school summer programs, except for Driver ’s Education and extended school-year programs. The proposed cuts are in the face of an anticipated shortfall of about $705,000 in state and federal aid, which would prompt a 14.7 increase in local property taxes if Gov. Paterson’s state aid proposals are enacted unchanged and the local teachers’ union continues to reject a board proposal to reopen a work contract and renegotiate scheduled wage increases. For several years, the Warrensburg school budget squeeze has prompted controversy, with taxpayers upset about tax increases and many community members raising strong objections to cuts in staff and programs. Over these years, the local teachers union, under instruction from their Albany bosses, has stood firm on scheduled wage increases and has declined to negotiate. The next meeting of the Board of Education’s budget committee is 6 p.m. March 15 in the high school library.

Townspeople turned out in force for the Cabin Fever Cure-All Party held Feb. 27 in the St. Sacrament Church parish hall.

Donations to the Bolton Free Library will be greatly appreciated and will be accepted at the door. Library Director Megan Baker said that about 150 people participated, yielding about $1,500 for the library. “It was extremely well attended,” she said. “The food and entertainment were excellent.” Plans are now underway for a second annual Cabin Fever Cure-All party for next year.

•100 Years Ago – March, 1910• Spring comes flooding in
A
dirondack Superintendent of Highways Kingsley is still busily engaged in opening and repairing roads after the big blizzard near the last of February. It required nine men with two teams of horses for two days to open the roads from the town to the Warner place. Conditions are now in the flooding stage. Ice in the Schroon River at West Bolton went out March 10, 1910 with a great rumbling rush, but no damage was done. The ice gorge in the Hudson River between Warrensburgh and East Thurman went out March 12, with fewer problems than expected. Sleighing is over in Warrensburgh and on March 14, wagons officially went into general use. There are to be meteoric showers in April. One can have his choice of being hit by a meteor or an automobile.
Sentenced to the “pen” Delbert Ainsworth of Warrensburgh was sentenced March 17, 1910 to the Albany penitentiary for a term of six months by Justice Hodgson. The complaint was made by Albert West of Thurman who testified Ainsworth choked him and stole his watch and $10 on their way from Warrensburgh to Harrington Hill. Ainsworth was arrested by Constable A.C. Stone for assault. He admitted to the robbery and returned the stolen property. He was taken to the “pen” by Constable Stone.
Well-known boatman takes his life Henry Best, a boatman who plied his trade in this general area, committed suicide near Whitehall by cutting his throat and wrists with a razor and bleeding to death. Unmarried, he had settled all his affairs and sold his canal boat after which he deposited $1,500 in the bank, walked out of town and killed himself with the razor. He had frequently asked policemen to take care of the razor, as he feared he would do injury to himself, but he was not taken seriously. After doing the deed he closed the razor and carefully put it back in his pocket. Broken leg at paper mill Francis Haight, 16, a son of Mrs. Cynthia Haight, broke his leg at the paper mill in Warrensburgh Friday morning, while helping to load a wagon. He was carried to his home on Hudson Street where he was attended to by Dr. Goodman. Only one bone was broken near his ankle.

tered car purposes. It has a seating capacity of 28 and is beautifully finished in cherry, has carpets on the floor and is furnished with wicker chairs. It is heated by electricity and is painted Pullman green. It will be used exclusively for chartered car purposes and by officers and directors of the company making periodical trips over the road. Sunday afternoon, Mayor Cool, Judge Lyman Jenkins and about 25 other prominent professional and business men of Glens Falls came to Warrensburgh in the new trolley car to call upon Senator James Emerson.
He was born May 6, 1836 at Schroon Lake and for many years was a summer resident of Lake George. He was the pioneer cottage owner of the now flourishing colony of Pilot Knob and “Commodore” Richards has given pleasure to more people in his yacht “Theta” than any other yacht owner on the lake. He is survived by his two sons, Frederick and Orson Richards. The funeral was held at his home.
Plymouth Rock fowl at Echo Lake
Mrs. B.C. Brown of Igerna picked a pansy in her garden on March 22, so April showers and May flowers are not that far away. At this time of year the little red squirrel begins tapping maple trees. He chews a hole in the bark and than licks up the sap as it trickles out. Allen Plue of North Creek has broken the record on skunks. He caught 34 this season. This has been a hard winter and many people have had the grippe. A good many, young and old, have hard head colds. Charles Lanfear of East Thurman nearly died with asthma and heart trouble. Calvin Harvey of North River is critically ill with typhoid fever. Fred Reynolds of North Thurman lost a fine milch cow. Richard O’Brien of Glens Falls, while fishing near Victoria Lodge, Lake George, caught a trout which weighed 19 pounds and is said to be the largest ever taken from the waters of Lake George. In Bakers Mills, Andrew Andrus sold the farm formerly owned by the late Sarah Somerville to Robert Russell and on March 14, 1910 moved his family to his wife’s property which is known as the Samuel Davison farm. Arvin Hutchens of Johnsburgh has recently purchased the old Dunn homestead and moved to the place, is now in the process of building a new piazza. He expects to fill the place with summer people. Charles Millington, who broke his leg while working in the woods near Long Lake West the first of the winter, is now getting around his home in Bakers Mills with a cane. His sisters, Miss Stella and Miss Cora Millington are both very ill with the grippe. Earl Waddell of Wevertown is home from his winters work in the north woods. Mr. and Mrs. Orson R. Wilsey’s baby son, Charles D. Wilsey, has been seriously ill in Warrensburgh with pneumonia. L.W. Royce of Bolton Landing is having his meat market painted. Hannibal Burch of South Horicon has moved to Bolton. Stewart Fuller set 35 fence posts in West Bolton.

West and Manzer went into the poultry business in Warrensburgh near Echo Lake and after careful study commenced to breed the Barred Plymouth Rocks as a fine general utility fowl. They put their best efforts into the business and now have a stock of 500 head. This spring they will sell eggs for hatching. The cost will be $1 for a setting of 15 eggs. Don Cameron and his sister, Miss Grace Cameron of Athol spent Sunday at the farm to see for themselves how the place was run. The farm motto is, “Who keeps a hen who doesn’t lay, does a business that doesn’t pay.”
Hotels change hands in North Country Frank Owens, proprietor of Forest House for a number of years past, has sold the property to Charles Holleran and Dudley Menzie of Blue Mountain Lake. The hotel is located on the road between Indian Lake and Blue Mountain Lake. Horseshoe Inn, at Horseshoe, on the Mohawk and Malone railroad in the Adirondacks, was burned to the ground March 11, 1910 for some unknown cause with a loss of about $15,000. George Ordway has sold his hotel at North River on March 15, 1910 to William Lynch of Minerva, a former clerk of the hotel, who took possession immediately. Henry Beadleston is employed there. Orange Alonzo Cowles, 72, for many years proprietor of the Cedar River Hotel, Indian Lake, died March 12, 1910 in Glens Falls. He leaves a widow, three sons and three daughters. Burial was in the Glens Falls Cemetery.
Prominent lumber dealer bids farewell Eber Richards, 73, a prominent resident of Sandy Hill (Hudson Falls) answered the final summons on Feb. 23, 1910 at 4 o’clock in the morning when he was called to the great world beyond. He was one of the pioneer lumber dealers of this section of the state and a man respected by all who enjoyed the pleasure of his acquaintance.

Stewart’s project deserves the support of the town!
It’s state law: Property owners must clear sidewalks!
(Editor’s Note: This letter was sent March 5 to the town board by Thomas and Theresa Lloyd who live next door to the Hudson Headwaters Health Network property at Stewart Farrar St. and Elm St. A zoning change is being considered at this site — the planning board approved it for a strip of that property to accommodate a proposed Stewart’s convenience store and gas station on the west end of the Hudson Headwaters property).
To the editor: After the recent large snowstorm, I was appalled to see on Main St. in Warrensburg efforts of the town snow removal workers thwarted from their duties of maintaining the sidewalks and hydrants by huge piles of snow piled and blocking the sidewalk. These blockades were generated by private individuals and business owners plowing the sidewalks in front of various businesses and residences. State law clearly states that landowners with sidewalks must keep them free from all hazardous conditions, and this includes blocking sidewalks with snow piles. State law also forbids driving vehicles on sidewalks for plowing when there is already in place a reasonable snow removal program. State law delegates sidewalk snow removal maintenance to town highway superintendents. With a reasonable town snow removal program already in place, anyone plowing or maintaining a sidewalk without the Superintendent or Town Board approval by resolution would also be breaking that state law. But furthermore, how rude, selfish and inconsiderate these people are — who don’t comply with the law of clearing sidewalks — by putting a senior citizen or young working mother at risk by forcing them unnecessarily to walk in the roadway. The culprits are adding additional and avoidable legal liability to the Town by their actions. Law-breakers raise the cost of sidewalk snow removal to the town taxpayers when we can least afford it and are making it harder for the Town employees that are responsible for keeping our sidewalks clean of snow. Are these people really above the law? I think not. Don Bagwell Warrensburg
Dear Kevin and Board Members: Our property is immediately adjacent to the contemplated Stewart’s project at the corner of Stewart Farrar and Main Street in Warrensburg. In the interest of our community, we wish to offer our support to the Town Board in approving the Stewart’s project. Thirty years ago, we tried to build a scenery studio in Warrensburg, but our request was thwarted by the Town Board. We moved from our Rte. 28 property to downtown Glens Falls. Now we are situated in Argyle, pay lots of local taxes, employ 85 people and bring millions of dollars into the local economy. We wanted to be a Warrensburg business. Stewart’s has constantly demonstrated aesthetic sensitivity in its development program. Their shops serve a vital purpose as community hubs, provide needed cost-effective services, and their corporate philosophy is one that gives back to the localities in which they operate through tax dollars and philanthropy. We would be pleased to have them as our neighbors. To those who would suggest that our town’s historical integrity is at stake, we ask you to consider the current property — a parking lot, and a stumpy brick structure with a plastic box on the back. The historic home and barn that were razed a few years ago were structural hazards, having been neglected for decades. It’s time to embrace our town’s future. Warrensburg does not need vacant commercial properties. There is viable real estate in Lake George just over the Schroon at Exit 23, shovel-ready for a new Stewart’s Shop. Let’s not let this opportunity slip away. This development proposal is at the center of our hamlet, on Main Street, and it deserves to be embraced as any new business willing to put down its roots. Thomas & Theresa Lloyd Warrensburg

‘Maddie’ Ross, 100: Hard work is key to longevity Now 100, Boltonian reflects of life By Brendan Manley denpubs@denpubs.com BOLTON — It’s hard to imagine life in the Adirondacks as being easy for a young family in the 1920s and 1930s, and in plenty of ways, it wasn’t. But talking with Bolton centenarian Madaline “Maddie” Ross — who reached the century mark March 11 — when it came to providing for her family, basic old-fashioned hard work and ingenuity ensured there’d always be food on the table, warm clothes for all and a stocked cellar in the winter. And with six children constantly getting into good-natured mischief, there was never a shortage of fun in the Ross household, either. Spending the last 83 years at her home and farm at Ross’ Corner on New Vermont Rd., Ross and family settled into a comfortable domestic groove long ago. A mother of six, grandmother of 12, great-grandmother of 15 and great-great-grandmother of 12, Ross turned the family home into a self-sufficient marvel, complete with a range of crops and livestock. To this day, Ross’ relatives smile at the memory of her cooking — her Sunday chicken dinners, homemade ice cream and hot, fresh-baked bread, slathered in handchurned butter — or the handmade clothing she’d create from leftover fleece. If nothing else, the Ross family never froze or starved. “All summer long I’d be canning and jarring, so that we’d have food for the winter,” Ross reflected, sitting on a recliner in her home this week, surrounded by daughters Iva Reed, Audrey Vernum and granddaughter Bonnie O’Rourke, who nodded their agreement. “In the winter, I would knit.” Ross was born Madaline Burgess in 1910 in Wardsboro, up on Tongue Mountain near the area known as Journey’s End. She later settled in Bolton at the age of 16 or 17, after marrying Walter Ross, who labored in a number of local enterprises, including lumber and ice. Stories of the newlyweds are as touching as they are colorful, such as when Ross talked about the dances they would hold in their home, clearing out the furniture to open the space. Men were charged 50 cents for admission and fiddlers often provided the music, including Ross’ father. A couple of particularly rowdy, old town drunkards who frequented the dances eventually spelled the event’s demise. “There’d be fights, and we’d have to take them out to the

swamp and give them baths,” Ross said, chuckling. Raising six children was just as unpredictable, but Ross, who also spent her days working on the Nirvana Farm and at Country Diner, where she made soups and desserts, always found a way to overcome life’s challenges with a laugh and her trademark tenacity. When daughter Jessie was born premature, Ross said she wrapped the infant in a blanket, placed her in a shoe box and slid the box behind the wood stove, to keep the child warm. Later, she bathed the baby in olive oil. Miraculously the child survived and now Jessie’s daughter Bonnie—Maddie’s grand-daughter, seated in the room—is living proof. Other events were a tad more whimsical in this Adirondack Journal interview. “I’d always go up into the field with mom to pick berries,” remembered Audrey Vernum, grinning. “She was deathly afraid of snakes, so I’d sneak up behind her, and tickle her legs.” Sadly, the family was no stranger to tragedy, either. Maddie Ross lost sisters Anna and Hazel when a lover ’s quarrel between Hazel and her husband turned deadly, and both women were gunned down by the man. Ross’ 18-year-old
son Sonny was killed in a car accident on “Thrill Hill” in Bolton, Ross said, and her mother met a similar end traveling to Vermont to visit relatives. “We had some rough times getting along, but we made it,” Ross said, pausing to quietly think back on her lost loved ones. “Sometimes I’d almost give up, but I can’t do that.” Even at 100 years, Ross has maintained plenty of pep. Her family members said that when she doesn’t feel like listening to people, she shuts off her hearing aids. On some days, when bothered by a person’s presence, she tells them, “Go drag your ass.” When asked if she got on with her various neighbors over the years, she remarked, “I didn’t care too much for some of them, but I learned to live with them anyway.” Feistiness aside, Ross’ unending work ethic perpetually stands out as a defining quality, and a key to her family’s prosperity. When asked about the secret to her incredible longevity, she simply states, “hard work.” Who can argue with that?

Talk of selling Countryside Home resurfaces among county leaders By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — In an effort to cut taxes for Warren County property owners, county supervisors are now examining the prospects of selling the Countryside Adult Home. At the supervisors’ March 3 meeting, they resumed discussions about privatizing Countryside to reduce a county budget gap that is predicted for next year. Warren County taxpayers now pay about $850,000 annually toward Countryside’s operation, with an equal amount paid by the state. The county board is considering soliciting proposals from private enterprise to take over the operation, to save hundreds of thousands of dollars. Countryside is a county-sponsored facility, located on Schroon River Rd. in Warrensburg. It provides room, board and activities for elderly or special needs adults that don’t have the means to live on their own. County Budget Officer Kevin Geraghty said that if Countryside is privatized, the 71923
DISCOUNT PROPANE
county board would likely demand that existing employees have first shot at the jobs under private ownership. Also, he said he wants to make sure that the Countryside residents, now about 41 in number, get the same level of care they've been receiving. Several weeks ago, the county supervisors heard a proposal from representatives of a real estate firm seeking to broker a deal between the county and prospective new owners. But before taking any action as to the home's fate, the board is now looking for a new director for the home. The director up through a month ago was Brenda Hayes, who spearheaded a drive in 2009 to re-certify it from a 60-bed facility down to a 48-bed facility under state regulations, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayers money. During 2009, Hayes cut expenses drastically at the facility — under the auspices of the county supervisors who were seeking deep reductions in her budget. She eliminated several jobs in mid-2009, a move that angered staff and led to a public protest.

Lake George Scouts have close bond By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — The Girl Scouts in Lake George may have incredibly busy lives, but they allow themselves time for the many benefits of scouting, Lake George Girls Scout Troop No. 3576 Leader Cathy O’Brien said Monday. The reason for the commitment particularly in O’Brien’s Troop No. 3576 may be a close bond shared by the group’s core members, who have been together since they were Daisy Scouts in Kindergarten. The girls, now in 11th grade, number about 10. “It’s great the girls have stayed so connected since they were five years old,” she said. “They know these are friends they can always count on — friends for life.” The group not only enjoys shared trips, get-togethers and sleepovers, but they have fun conducting various community service projects, O’Brien said. This year, these projects include renovating the nature trail behind Lake George Elementary, and planning sessions for various charitable fundraisers. Coming up this summer is the Relay for Life to raise money for cancer research. Community service for the Lake George scouts also includes reaching out to others locally, O’Brien said. To this end, Troop 3576 is hosting a community dinner March 31 at Sacred Heart Church, cooking the meal, serving and

cleaning up. Activities also include the ones that are just for fun, O’Brien said, including last year ’s five-day trip to Disney World which included shopping, poolside sunning and participating in a post-midnight dance party. The group is planning an encore trip to Orlando this year. Other traditional activities for the troop include camping at Fourth Lake in August — which features fun orienteering lessons — and a trip which includes tent-camping on the grounds of the Great Escape theme park. Last year, we hear, the group got very little sleep during the latter excursion. The younger scouts in Lake George include a troop of Cadet Scouts, in 6th and 7th grade, led by Alisa Connelly and Erin O’Neill. Over last several years, the scouts led by O’Neill and Connelly have been quite involved with the Red Cross, several blood drives, and soliciting donations to the group which accomplishes so much across the world, O'Neill said. Girl Scouting in the Town of Lake George encompasses 11 troops from Kindergarten up through high school. All the troops in the Lake George area got together this year and baked pies to be included in holiday baskets donated to families in financial distress. “All the scouts in the area do a lot for their community,” O’Neill said.

GIRL SCOUTING • ADIRONDACK JOURNAL - 11
Scouting in Warrensburg a strong, proud tradition Helping others is a favored focus of local Girl Scouts By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — For decades, scouting has flourished in Warrensburg, and recent years are no exception, Girl Scout Service Unit Manager Lisa Baker said this week. Warrensburg has eight troops, ranging
from five-year-old Daisies to Ambassadors who are high school Seniors, she said. The older groups, including the Ambassadors led by Troop Leader Bonnie Taddeo, are dedicated to community service, Baker said, and this spirit extends to the Cadets or 9th and 10th graders led by Heather Turner, and the younger scouts shepherded by Ann Chapman. The Warrensburg Girl Scout scene needs more leaders, Baker said. “Our biggest concern is finding volun-
teers to work with the troops,” she said. “Leaders can work at their own pace and the service in scouting can be like ‘play dates’ with their children and their friends.” Despite time constraints that both girls and their leaders are experiencing, the girls have a lot of fun and help others in substantial ways, Baker said. Recently, the scouts have collected foodstuffs for the food pantries of Warrensburg and Thurman. The Warrensburg scouts led by Heather Turner and Patty Miller regularly v isit the residents of Countryside Home, brightening their lives as they share activities.
ED BENNETT EXCAVATING
In past years, the troops have taken various trips, whether it was an educational trip to Boston or the Shelburne Museum in Vermont. This year, the girls are working toward taking a trip to the Tupper Lake Museum and taking a train ride during their visit. Baker noted that all the troops, regardless of level, are following the Girl Scouts’ new curriculum, “Journeys,” which stresses skill development, environmental awareness, social responsibility, and preparation for life. “Warrensburg’s Girl Scouts are the first in the region to be 100 percent converted to the new Journeys program,” Baker said.

Snow buries us up here in the hills
Benefit spaghetti dinner to help Vopleus family
T
hanks all of you who complained of no snow, nature responded last week with three or four storms depositing over a foot of wet heavy snow. On several days last week, we had snow falling all day long. Our power was out several times on Feb. 24 for hours at a time, and the Wednesday snowfall alone totaled about 17.5 inches, and by Thursday we accumulated more — and still more on Friday. Totals varied as some regions had a rain mixture, but was well over two feet was recorded. Local men with pickup trucks had a hard job trying to plow as the snow was so heavy. Town crews were out night and day keeping our roads open — the snow fell so fast that roads were never bare. With heavy snow weighing down limbs, trees fell, blocking roads and bringing down utility lines which caused many neighbors to be without electricity and phone service. One neighbor on Sky High Rd. had a tree fall across their home. Neighbors went to help them get the tree cut up and out of the way. Snow continued falling Saturday Feb. 27 and the next day. Whew!
Seniors Club news The Sugar Loaf Mountain Seniors Club will be going out to a luncheon, at 11 a.m. on Wednesday March 24 at the Chinatown Restaurant in Queensbury. Those who would like to attend the meeting and luncheon, call Norma at 623-9425. At the Feb. 20 meeting, 22 Club members enjoyed a hurried meeting and covered dish lunch, and Donna Wormwood presented information on the 2010 census. The upcoming trips were not discussed but will be at the March meeting. The March 20 seniors meeting scheduled at the town hall has been canceled.
Events and activities in Thurman The Thurman Emergency Medical Services organization will meet at 6:30 p.m. Sunday March 14 at the squad’s High St. headquarters. At this time a junior squad, accommodating teens ages 14 and up, is being formed — primarily for training purposes. Those interested in joining the junior squad are invited to stop by the meeting or call 623-9014 and leave name and phone number. The squad is also looking for adult helpers. Will you become a volunteer? The Thurman Town Board meets Tuesday March 11 at the town hall. The fiscal meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. and this will be followed by a 7 p.m. monthly meeting. Both meetings, open to the public, include a time when questions and comments are entertained from those attending. The Gleaning free food program will be hold a food distribution session at the town hall Tuesday March 16 at 10 a.m. Bring clean bags with which to take food home. For information, call 623-9649. The Kenyontown Methodist Church, located on Valley Rd, will be having a fellowship covered dish dinner at 7 p.m. Wednesday March 17. Bring a dish and join in this get-together. Sunday services at the church are held at 11 a.m. Thurman is joining in with the New York State’s maple weekend on Saturday March 20 and Sunday March 21, and also on March 27 and 28. Maps to maple farms and other local attractions are available online. There will be demonstrations of how maple sap is extracted from trees and how it is converted into syrup. For information, call 623-9718.
Friends and neighbors up here in the hills are getting together to hold a spaghetti dinner to benefit Don Vopleus who is recuperating from a tree accident. The dinner will be held from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday March 20 at the town hall with a silent auction to follow. Tickets at the door are $10 for adults, and $5 for age 12 and under. The proceeds will all go to the family. Anyone wishing to help can donate spaghetti or sauce or a dessert. For information call Jessie at 791-6118. Don was hurt when a tree fell, crushing him to the ground on Nov. 25, 2009. After many months in the hospital and rehabilitation centers, he is recuperating at home. Those who can’t attend the fundraiser and wish to send a donation, can stop by at the Thurman Town Hall or send a check to P.O. Box 29., Athol, NY 12810, Attn: Vopleus family fund.
THURMAN • ADIRONDACK JOURNAL - 13
Over the fence One big angry gripe came in on the first session of our big snow. A lady got stranded on Valley Rd. when her car refused to go up a small hill which was covered in wet heavy slush. She kept backing down and retrying but finally she heard a town plow coming, so she pulled over and got out of the car, waving her arms to get them to stop, she said. The woman was hoping that the town employee could make a phone call for her, but the truck kept going and this was about 2 a.m. on her way home from her job. Needless to say she was angry. This was early in the morning Feb. 25 after 16 inches or more of snow fell. Many gripes came in this week concerning the way our Governor has been treated by politicians and the media. If they took the polls in our smaller communities, I’m sure Gov. David Paterson would have been the leader. Many here hope he will run again, considering his no-nonsense calls to stop spending money we don’t have, and to shrink government — He’s acting like a conservative Republican!

Anniversary wishes are out to Linda and Chuck Arlin on March 14. Jim and Maria Ligon of High St. have returned home after spending some leisurely time in sunny Florida where they found the weather very cold for that region. However, they were happy to hear that they missed the big snow-week in Thurman, Feb, 23 to Feb, 28, but they found out when they returned there was some snow left to shovel. Several readers this week observed that the historic photo with the Journal’s Feb. 27 “Bygone Days” article describing old-time life in Thurman was from Warrensburg, as was noted in the accompanying caption. We never had 16 or more kids in the one-room schools. Remember to turn your clocks one hour ahead on Saturday night or Sunday morning. The time changes on March 14 and spring arrives on March 20.

Law From page 1 the American Civil Liberties Union. “Such a law would never, ever pass a Constitutional test,” he said, noting that it was unconstitutional to restrict one single class of convicted criminals under land-use laws. He commented that such a law licensing motels and hotels would continue to allow them to host murderers, drug dealers and terrorists, for instance. Lake George town board member Fran Heinrich said she was concerned about the cost of potential court challenges to the law. “It bothers me that if this law is ever contested, it could tie us up and cost us a lot of money,” she said. “But we should have it.”
Cuts From page 1 for unpaid property taxes, $2 million. Also, the county supervisors reaffirmed they wouldn't be condoning any surprise budget increases due to mid-year state reimbursement cutbacks. Any reduction in state reimbursement for any county department or program will mean the respective budget will be reduced without putting an additional burden on local taxpayers. The county budget committee is reconvening in about one week to examine an analysis they've requested from county department chiefs on job positions and their budgetary impact.

ADIRONDACK JOURNAL - 15
Rotary Club seeks host families for foreign students
Deer take way down in the northern zone T
he poor deer take in the northern zone last season is no longer a rumor.
While hunters harvested 222,800 deer statewide during the 2009 season — nearly the same as 2008 — the deer take in the northern zone was down nearly 20 percent, state officials said last week. Even more telling was the buck take, which dropped from 20,726 in 2008 to 16,279 in 2009 — a drastic 27 percent reduction. The total deer take in the northern zone was 28,464 in 2009 compared to 33,938 in 2008. Some local hunting clubs estimate the take was down by 40 percent or more, the worst season they’ve seen in decades, and the numbers seem to follow my prediction of the deer take being lower in region’s hardest hit by the winters of 2007 and 2008. Take, for example, Warren, Essex and Hamilton counties. ***Reminder In 2007, hunters killed 1,192 bucks in Essex County, 964 in Hamilton County and 637 in Warren County. In State law 2008, that number rose to 1,244 bucks in Essex; 1,298 in requires that Hamilton and 722 in Warren. ice fishing But, in 2009, the take dropped drastically to 873 in Esshanties be removed sex, 430 in Warren and just 510 in Hamilton — more than a 50 percent decline. by March 15! All this means that if you tagged a buck last year, consider yourself in fortunate company. Some hunters have criticized the state’s policy against feeding deer saying it contributes to the mortality rate — especially during severe winters. But, wildlife officials say deer populations tend to be cyclical, and the herd is sure to rebound, especially after the mild conditions experienced this winter. The DEC also noted a motivating factor behind the feeding ban was to stop the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease, which was first detected in New York in 2005. The spread of CWD has, at least for now, been held in check. More than 30,000 deer have been tested since 2005, without one positive case of CWD found. State officials generally refute the argument there were less deer last year and instead blame the unusually warm November experienced by northern zone hunters for the poor take here. But, senior wildlife biologist Ed Reed said in some of Region 5, especially southern parts of the region, other factors contributed to the low deer take. “The past two winters in southern Hamilton County, Warren County, and northern Washington, Saratoga, and Fulton counties were harsher than average and we did experience some winter kill,” Reed said. “Also, in both of those winters, the deep snow came very early, well before the end of the regular season, causing some deer to begin moving toward wintering areas while hunting season was still open, making them more vulnerable to hunters.” Some hunters are aware of deer migration routes and concentrate their efforts on those routes when the snow comes early, Reed said. “The increased buck harvest, as a result, will reduce the buck harvest the next year or two. For example, the 2008 buck harvest in Hamilton County was the highest since 1969, but, in 2009, it dropped off significantly.” The silver lining, Reed said, is the low harvest in 2009 coupled with this winter ’s mild weather should mean better deer numbers this fall. For a complete breakdown of the statewide deer take, including calculations by county and town, go to www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/42232.html.
March 16 program aimed at improving balance In the interest of getting older folks up and enjoying outdoor activities, Adirondack guide Elizabeth Lee of Westport and Willsboro-based physical therapist and personal trainer Brian Trzaskos will team up to present a unique program to the public on balance, aging and outdoor living. The free event will be held this Tuesday, March 16, from 10:30 11:30 a.m. at the Wallonsburgh Grange. People of all ages are encouraged to attend. Lee said the program will offer specific ideas and incentives for adults to resume outdoor activities they enjoy. Paramount to that, however, is a sense of security, she said. “I think a lot of older people have a real fear of falling and an uncertainty about safe terrain which keeps them from enjoying outdoor activities — especially during the winter months,” Lee said. At the March 16 program, Trzaskos will share in-depth knowledge of lifestyle patterns and physical dynamics which can improve balance and flexibility at all ages. Lee said she hopes many residents will attend and, in turn, feel more comfortable with pursuing an active lifestyle at any age. For more information, contact Lee at 962-4756 or lakeside5047@gmail.com.

CHESTERTOWN — In conjunction with North Warren High School, the Chestertown Rotary is planning to host a student from abroad for the 2010-2011 school year, and the group is now seeking host families for the visiting teenager. Presently there is one host family committed to host the student for the initial several months of the foreign student’s stay here, which begins in late August, Rotary officials said Monday. The Club is now seeking to line up two or three additional families to accommodate the student for several months at a time over the rest of the school year, Rotary official John Hagmann said. “It’s a marvelous program, and everybody benefits including the exchange students, the school community, and host family members,” he said. “Hosting an exchange student often changes one’s impression of the culture of the student’s country — and it absolutely
enhances international understanding.” A host family is responsible for providing lodging and food to the visiting student. The families traditionally treat the student as a member of their family and involve them in most all family activities. The host family is expected to encourage the visiting student to be actively engaged in school and community activities so they have a fulfilling experience during their school year at North Warren, Hagmann said. A positive by-product of this experience, he said, is the exposure that members of the family have to a person from another culture. “It is a truly rewarding and educational experience,” he said. The local Rotary Club, now in its 62nd year, has been involved in this International Youth Exchange Program for many years, Hagmann said. North Warren 2008 graduate Zach Smith was the most
recent local participant in the program. Zach spent the 2008-2009 school year as an exchange student in Brazil. He found the experience to be exceptional and he returned to the U.S. with an expanded appreciation for South American culture, Hagmann said. Rotary International launched the program in the 1920s and it now serves more than 80,000 students in more than 80 countries. Rotary International sponsors this program with the belief that exposure to different cultures is one of the most powerful ways to promote peace and international understanding, Hagmann said. The Chestertown Rotary encourages anyone who has an interest in hosting an incoming foreign student or merely wants to review information on hosting a student to contact David Schlansker at 251-5737 or John Hagmann at 494-4637 for details.
Support for Hornbeck appointment wanes By Jon Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com ALBANY — The appointment of Minerva boat builder Peter Hornbeck to the Adirondack Park Agency Board of Commissioners is barely surviving in the state Senate this week as it appears Gov. David Paterson’s pending choice lacks the necessary votes to move forward. State Sen. Betty Little and several of her GOP counterparts have argued that because Hornbeck sits on the board of directors for Protect the Adirondacks – an environmental group currently suing the APA – his appointment as a commissioner would represent a conflict of interest. Little said Thursday her argument appears to have resonated with fellow senators from both parties. “The Finance Committee informed the governor that they do not have the votes to move his nomination out of finance,” Little said. “Because of that, I believe the nomination will not go forward.” Protect the Adirondacks is suing the APA for its decision last fall not to classify the waters of Lows Lake as Wilderness. Last week, the appointment of Hornbeck was approved in the Senate Environmental Conservation Committee and his appointment was slated to reach the Finance Committee in the coming months. Little said she’s been told that support for the gubernatorial nomination is waning and there simply aren’t enough votes in support of Hornbeck’s selection to survive the Finance Committee.
Jason Koppel, chief of staff to Senate Finance Committee Chairman Carl Kruger, said this week that Paterson’s choice of Hornbeck is undergoing an in-depth review following the conflict of interest claims. Koppel stressed the appointment is still under review and not officially defeated. He also noted that finance has hundreds of appointments on its docket and the approval process is backlogged several months. On Tuesday, finance approved 24 appointments, some dating back as far as April 2009. Little and some local governments have blasted the governor ’s choice of Hornbeck, claiming it unfairly tilts the board of commissioners toward extreme preservation. “Both Democrats and Republicans throughout the district felt there was a conflict in Mr. Hornbeck’s appointment since he’s on the board of directors of Protect, which in January sued the APA,” Little said. Three current APA commissioners have ties to the Adirondack Council. Supporters counter Hornbeck’s selection makes sense because he represents the right balance of business interests and environmentalism. Little said she’s requesting that current APA Commissioner Art Lussi, whose fouryear term expired last summer, be reappointed to the seat. “As I’ve said before, Art Lussi has done a good job in the one term he has served as an APA commissioner and a second term is something I’m confident many people would support,” Little said. Until a replacement is approved, Lussi will remain on the APA board.
