Dusek was schooled and raised locally By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — For years, Paul Dusek has often offered advice and legal direction to the leaders of Warren County government.

The prior County Administrator, Hal Payne, resigned in October amidst discussions about eliminating the post due to budget shortfalls. Facing a budget gap and outcry from taxpayers in October, the supervisors decided at that point not to fill the position. But just weeks later, they decided they needed someone to enforce accountability amongst county employees, jumpstarting the efficiency of county government. Dusek will be paid $129,000, and his pending initial work contract is for two years, although he expects to be in the post for the long term. Dusek will be paid about about $30,000 more than Payne was earning. Board of Supervisors Chairman Fred Monroe said Monday that Dusek was ideal for the job, considering his

Recovering from crash, Mason Hamilton returns home By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com
DIAMOND POINT — Friday, former Warrensburg high school football star Mason Hamilton lifted himself out of his car with his muscular arms and settled into a wheelchair in front of his home. He wheeled up a ramp that was built by his friends while he was spending about three weeks in Schenectady’s Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital to regain his strength and mobility. He rolled through his new, widened front door, installed by friends — contractors and tradesmen who donated their time and talents. They renovated his home for wheelchair access while Hamilton was either in Sunnyview, or undergoing operations at Albany Med-

Boy’s concern for neglected animals prompts fundraising effort thom@denpubs.com
WARRENSBURG — An 11-year-old boy who’s an accomplished go-kart racer has a strong love of animals. But he’s also got a big heart — which prompted him to accomplish something unusual for his age. After watching television commercials depicting neglected animals, Lane Saville was troubled, and he talked with his mother Kirsten about his concerns. She replied by asking Lane a question. “Is there anything you want to do to help out?” she said. Lane answered with action. He planned and conducted a fundraiser for the area SPCA, holding it in February at the Uno Chicago Grill in Queensbury —to raise money to pay for food and shelter for neglected animals. At the event, Lane explained how he was moved to raise well over $600 for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. “Everybody forgets about the animals and what they need,” he said, noting that he loves his two cats at home that were adopted from the SPCA. “Animals don’t have voices of their own, so we all have to look out after them.”
Lane and his parents Kirsten and Kelly contacted businesses, who donated goods and services for a silent auction held at the Uno fundraiser. Businesses donated everything from chain saw accessories to a pearl necklace to boiler repair or basement waterproofing work. Uno Chicago Grill donated a portion of their revenue from the dinners served to Lane’s charity. Deejay John Gelheiser of South Glens Falls conducted a trivia contest while movies of Lane’s racing victories played on a screen on the restaurant’s back wall. Truman, the dragon character representing Denton Publication’s Kidsville News, greeted children attending the fundraiser. Kidsville News Publisher Gail Alexander said at the event that Denton Publications applauds children who not only care, but those who go further and and take action to help others. For those who wish to boost Lane’s charitable effort, CD’s of his racing action are available through his website, www.99savilleracing.com. Kirsten Saville said Lane is planning to make his fundraiser an annual event. “Lane’s got a very kind heart,” she said. “I hope that every year, this fundraiser gets bigger and better than ever.”

The fundraiser, held this year at Uno Chicago Grill in Queensbury, is likely to become an annual event.

WCS board tackles budget cuts Discussions of the 2010-11 spending plan of Warrensburg Central District continued March 15, as the school board’s budget committee heard the final component of the budget, BOCES and Special Education expenditures. The 2010-11 allocation for Special Education is $2.2 million, an 11.9 percent reduction from last year ’s cost, or $208,000.00 less. This figure includes a $69,000 reduction saved by abandoning distance learning programs. Other reductions include bringing four students back from BOCES to the Warrensburg campus amongst 42 students now in the Career Technical Education program. In 2010-11, the GED program will be taught inhouse with an anticipated enrollment of about four to eight students per year for grades 10 through 12. In addition to the BOCES program reductions, several students now going out of district for special programs will be brought back to the Warrensburg campus, saving about $153,000 total per year. Superintendent of Schools Tim Lawson said the 201`0-11 budget spends down nearly $1.9 million of the fund balance, socking away some of it towards future expenses to help keep the budget increase as near zero increase as possible. The proposed budget totals $18.96 million, which is a 1.74 percent decrease in expenditures. While this tentative budget represents a 1.24 percent in-

crease in the tax levy, without thisdraw-down of fund balance, the increase would be 4.43 percent. Lawson stated that these figures are preliminary, subject to change in the next several weeks as the budget drafting process continues. He added that the forecast for 2011-2012 state aid does not look favorable. The next budget meeting will be held on 6 p.m. March 29, and public questions and opinions are welcome. The next full school board meeting is set for April 19.

Citizens want fire towers retained By Jon Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — In two public hearings last week, citizens voicing opposition to a the state’s proposed removal of two fire towers substantially outnumbered those who want to see them gone. The state Department of Environmental Conservation has penned proposals requiring the removal of the fire towers atop Hurricane and St. Regis mountains. Over the course of the two public hearings March 10 and 11, thirty-nine Adirondack cit-
izens ardently expressed their opinions to DEC and Adirondack Park Agency officials. Of the 39 citizens expressing their views, 33 said they were opposed to removing the towers. Four of the six comments in favor of the proposals came from the region’s three primary environmental groups – the Adirondack Council, the Adirondack Mountain Club and Protect the Adirondacks. The final decision is up to the APA Board of Commissioners. DEC foresters argue their hands are tied by the state Land Master Plan, which re-
quires the removal of “non-conforming” structures on state lands designated as a Wilderness, Canoe or Primitive area. The Hurricane Mountain tower is located in the nearly 14,000-acre Hurricane Mountain Primitive Area and the St. Regis tower is in the St. Regis Canoe Area. Proponents of the DEC plan argue the towers’ removal avoids yet another inconsistency with the SLMP, while opponents
counter the towers are a vital part of the region’s cultural history. Many of those offering their views stated they believe the public comment period is simply a legal formality and carries no real weight over the final decision. DEC officials have said that each comment will be taken into consideration. Written comments received so far have yet to be tallied.

Dusek From page 1 14 years of experience as county Attorney. “This is absolutely wonderful,” he said. “Paul Dusek is a perfect ‘fit’ in the position, considering he’s very smart and well informed.” He said that county Supervisors have been relying on him for policy advice for years. With Dusek as county Administrator, Supervisors will trust him to keep things moving forward toward their objectives, he said. “It’s a huge plus that Paul knows the law, and he knows the department heads — and all of them respect him.” Already, Dusek has been involved in a variety of administrative matters, including negotiating with unions, employee disciplinary hearings, and strategizing ways to boost efficiency. About 25 percent of his workweek hours have already been spent on administrative duties, Monroe said. Monroe said Dusek had the forceful qualities that Supervisors were seeking in a top county executive. “Paul not only sees the big picture, but he definitely has the strength to make the tough decisions,” Monroe said. County Budget Officer and Warrensburg Supervisor Kevin Geraghty said Dusek had the clout to get county employees to work harder and smarter. “Paul’s been the “go-to guy” to get things done,”
Geraghty said. “He not only has the qualifications and a very good work ethic, but he understands the challenges we’re facing.” Geraghty said he looks forward to working closely with Dusek on crafting the 2010-11 budget, which is likely to be a drawn-out process with difficult decisions involved. For several months, Dusek will be tackling the responsibilities of both county Administrator and county Attorney. Both Monroe and Geraghty said the latter post would be officially filled within several months. Dusek is a 1973 graduate of Warrensburg High School, and he grew up in Warrensburg, coming from a background of modest means. This week, Dusek said he was looking forward to serving as Administrator. “This was an opportunity to take on a new challenge and make a positive difference in people’s lives on a broader scale,” he said. “There are so many issues that need attention, and we’ll be soon be putting together a priority list.” Friday’s vote by Supervisors was to give Dusek compensation of $129,000 annually for up to three years, one year longer than offered March 10 by the county’s Personnel Committee. All the 19 supervisors but three voted in favor of the offer. Glens Falls 2nd Ward Supervisor Peter McDevitt and Glens Falls 4th Ward Supervisor William Loeb voted against the amended proposal, and Queensbury Supervisor Dan Stec abstained,
because he is Dusek’s brother-in-law. The vote doesn’t guarantee Dusek a job for three years — the Board Supervisors and Dusek are both empowered to terminate the work contract if they see fit, Dusek said. 70838

•50 Years Ago – March, 1960• Chestertown boy dies at sawmill
F
rancis J. Hill, 19, a Chestertown youth, was instantly killed March 25, 1960 when a log slipped from a truck he was unloading and struck him in the head at Pennock’s Sawmill on the Warrensburg–Stony Creek road near the Thurman bridge. There were no witnesses to the accident. One log on the top of the pile apparently shook loose and came crashing down on Hill’s skull when the boy released the chain. He was found lying on the ground beneath the truck. The body was removed to the Orton and McCloskey funeral home in Warrensburg. Hill, the son of William H. Hill, had five sisters and four brothers. He had resided on the Friends Lake Road.
Local school bus crashes Fifty-five Lake George Central School students escaped injury on the morning of March 18, 1960, in a crash four miles from Lake George village near Dunham’s Bay. The incident involved a school bus, a bakery truck and a parked automobile. The bus was driven by Arthur Carlson, 51, of Glen Lake. Samuel Waite, 44, was arrested for parking his car on the highway while he was working at a nearby house.
Students build boat to fund trip The Junior class of Warrensburg Central School is completing work on a 12-foot Taft runabout, complete with windshield, bow light and mooring clamps. The boat will be sold to raise funds to help finance the class trip to Washington during the 1961 Easter vacation.
Death, injury and other unfortunate incidents Tommy Beadnell, 13, son of Rita and Mike Beadnell, died in February, 1960. He had been sick with leukemia, cancer of the blood, for two years and had been kept alive by blood donated by the neighbors. William Regelmann of Bolton Landing was found dead in the dense woods near his home on Trout Lake Road, on Feb. 16, 1960 more than seven hours after he had been discovered missing. He is reported to have died of a heart attack. He was buried in the Brant Lake Cemetery. Stephen Burch, 13, son of Donald C. Burch, 3 Pratt Street, Warrensburg, suffered a fractured hip after he was hit March 27, 1960 by an automobile on Main St. He is in satisfactory condition at the Glens Falls Hospital. Herbert Moffitt, of Wevertown was in an accident March 21, 1960, on Edwards Hill Road, Bakers Mills. His car buckled the bridge near Palmers and the school bus was unable to travel its route to pick up school children on Edwards Hill the next morning.

To the editor — and Lake George town taxpayers: I feel I must respond to the sensational accusations of Tony Hall in his editorial in the March issue of the Lake George (Enquirer) Mirror. Let me say first that the Town did receive $130,495 in occupancy tax receipts which is about the only accurate figure that was in this article. The Town distributed $100,776 of the occupancy tax money and currently has a balance in a separate account of $29,719, and every penny was spent towards tourism and promotions. Secondly, the Town was never short $911,000. Revenues that are budgeted in the beginning of the year are received at different times throughout the year. At the end of the 2009 fiscal year, the fourth quarter revenues, or about $400,000, had not been received. This schedule is the same every year. The Town did sign a revenue anticipation note for $350,000, at a cost of $2,691, to ensure that we could fulfill all our contracts and pay all our bills. This note was borrowed in October 2009 and paid off in February 2010. Please note the town’s tax rate for 2000 was $2.48 per $1,000. The Tax rate for 2010 — which is the cause of so much contention, speculation and accusation — is $2.34. The Village tax rate is $8.07, three and a half times the tax rate of the town, yet the Village employees were given a raise. The Warren County tax rate is $4.82, twice the town’s, and many county employees were given a raise. It is interesting that Tony Hall does not question that. No town official has conceded to spending $159,000 on Gaslight Village. The expenditures for the work on Gaslight Village property for 2009 equals $51,279, which includes $32,600 for asbestos removal which is being reimbursed by a Department of State grant. Ultimately, the asbestos had to be removed and we feel we removed it cheaper than anybody else could have done it. Labor expense was not in-
cluded as it was all done inhouse and another pending project, the Usher Park garage addition, was moved back and is now being completed. There was no overtime expense for construction — and the parking revenue for 2009 totals $17,127. Finally, our budget is readable. It is formatted from a software accounting program used by many other towns statewide and approved by the state Comptroller ’s Office. While some of the new board members may not understand the budget, certainly the ones that were serving for many years understand it and how it is presented. I have been open and accessible to anybody who has approached me and I think it is irresponsible to print false accusations and hearsay without checking with someone from the Town. People who don’t have the correct facts, should ask before publically presenting the wrong information. Frank McCoy Lake George Town Supervisor

OPINION • ADIRONDACK JOURNAL - 7
Balanced representation is critical on the APA board ness or restricted it so severely that most development options are prohibited. We at Denton Publications believe this distressing decline in Adirondack rural culture can be at least partially attributed to overzealous state regulation. While preserving the environment and wild character of the Adirondacks is a laudable objective, it can go too far — particularly when the regulations spur development of expensive personal retreats for the wealthy, while hampering the very survival of year-round working-class residents. These trends have been boosted, perhaps unwittingly, by environmentalists who have served on the APA Board of Commissioners. Now, three of the eight APA commissioners are former heads of environmental advocacy groups that have been aligned with anti-development objectives. Many believe that three is already too many environmental advocates for a reasonable balance. Now Peter Hornbeck, a director of an environmental advocacy group, has been nominated for the seat on the APA Board of Commissioners to replace Art Lussi. The nomination is under review by the state Senate Environmental Conservation Committee. Hornbeck currently sits on the board of directors for Protect the Adirondacks and is a former chairman of the Residents Committee for the Protection of the Adirondacks. The nomination has prompted objections from local officials, citing an increased imbalance between APA board members favoring environmental objectives over development and economic growth. State Sen. Betty Little of Queensbury has observed that Hornbeck has declared he is against development in the Adirondacks, and she noted he has opposed the Adirondack Club and Resort project in Tupper Lake, which has for years been swamped in negotiations and litigation. Others have objected that Hornbeck serves on the board of an organization currently suing the APA — for not adopting regulations strict enough to please the preservationists. They say this situation not only represents a potential imbalance on the agency, but it represents a conflict of interest. Adirondack Park Local Review Board Chairman Fred Monroe is one of those who is alarmed. He observes that those who authored the original APA act were concerned with balance, calling for representation on the board by both Democrats and Republicans. If the APA’s founding fathers were so concerned with political parity, he says, balance between development advocates and environmental preservationists would also be a core goal. He and Little have both advocated that the state create a

policy that bans any leader of an advocacy organization from being appointed to the APA Board of Commissioners. They have both supported legislation that candidates who are nominated for APA Board seats should be chosen from a list prepared by local By Thom Randall government officials. In our view at Denton Publications, such guidelines make sense, particularly the policy of maintaining balance at the APA. The Adirondack Park Agency is a powerful regulatory body, and its decision-making should have input from citizens with differing viewpoints. As long as the APA has its broad powers, the agency must maintain a balance between those who advocate sensible development and others who opt for environmental protection. It’s not just a matter of honest, independent representation of the interests of local residents — It goes further. If our Adirondack culture is to thrive, or even survive, it may just be a necessity.

or a generation, Adirondackers have felt uneasy about an evolution that was occurring around them. Evidence of the trend was hard to pin down because it crept up on everyone here so gradually. But looking back over the last few decades, it’s clear that life in the Adirondacks, particularly in the more remote areas, has changed drastically. Where commerce and industry once thrived, the local communities don’t offer much in the way of employment. There’s not much work available except at wages that are not sufficient to meet basic needs. We’ve seen our communities shrink, primarily due to limited employment opportunities. We heard a decade ago that the Internet would make jobs practical in the Adirondacks, through “virtual commuting.” Regardless of this national trend, it just hasn’t developed here as predicted. Across the Adirondacks, school enrollment has shrunk more than 30 percent over the past few decades as families have moved out in a quest to provide a more promising future for their children. This exodus has effected our lives in many ways. Many churches that 25 years ago had full congregations for worship services, have scores of near-empty pews every Sunday. In towns across the Adirondacks, clubs, teams and organizations that once flourished are gone or are barely surviving. On the other hand, properties now change hands at prices local working families can’t really afford — prices driven up by people who merely want a summer retreat. Many of these homes are dark and empty for most of the year. On top of this, Adirondackers’ household budgets are hurting because of the spiraling cost of necessities. These trends were confirmed last year by the Adirondack Park Regional Assessment Project report. This study concluded that communities in the Adirondacks are acutely threatened, and this has alarmed local officials and researchers alike. This unraveling of the Adirondack cultural fabric was predicted a quarter-century ago by Anthony D’Elia, a developer and property rights activist from Franklin County in his book,“The Adirondack Rebellion.” He saw the Adirondack Park Agency’s slow expansion of regulatory power as threatening the culture of the Adirondacks and the viability of its local economies. This view is held by many Adirondackers who have watched the APA expand its jurisdiction, choking out traditional business and manufacturing enterprises. The Agency, they observe, has reserved more and more land for wilder-

Village faces first tax hike in two years LAKE GEORGE — The village government is using money from their fund balance and boosted septic disposal fees to reduce a tax increase for the upcoming fiscal year, Lake George Mayor Robert Blais explained in a press release this week. The Village of Lake George held a hearing on Wednesday to present their proposed budget for 2010-2011 to the village residents. The Village’s proposed budget called for an increase of 2.6 percent or 21 cents per thousand of assessed valuation for their next fiscal year that begins June 1. The spending plan called for appropriations of $3,851,454, an increase of $95,323. These expenditures are offset by a decrease in assessed valuation of $2.2 million, Blais said, and a 3.26 percent increase in anticipated revenues. This tax increase is the first in two years for village taxpayers. The budget allocates $185,000 from the Village’s fund balance to hold down the increase in taxes. This budget budget presented to the village residents includes a 26.85 increase in health insurance costs, or a hike of $41,153. The other major increase is in state retirement benefit premiums from $52,000 to $100,000. Revenues from sources other than real property taxes continue to play a major role in holding down the tax rate, Blais said. Parking meters amount for $515,000 annually as well as $215,000 anticipated in septic hauler fees at the Village Wastewater Plant. Mayor Blais has trimmed back anticipated revenues in sales tax and occupancy tax based on the past year ’s struggling economy. Village employees will receive a 3 percent increase in wages according to the budget and overtime has been cut by 10 percent. Other cuts of 10 percent have been made in street lighting and building utility costs due to energy saving programs initiated by the Village’s Go Green committee. Surpluses in the 2009-10 budget will permit Village officials to undertake several capital improvements including a major expansion of the Shepard Park bandstand, including new lighting and storage facilities. The Village will also purchase over 3,400 additional LED lights for their holiday decorations that will result in substantial savings in energy. The 2010-2011 budget includes a complete makeover of Mohican Street including sidewalks, curbs, paving and storm drainage. The budget also includes the purchase of one new utility truck replacing a 1999 model and repairs to the Lakefront Walkway, Blais said. “We are fortunate to have an excellent stream of revenues other than real property tax,” the Mayor said. “Over 65% of our budget comes from other sources, saving our taxpayers a considerable amount of money out-of–pocket.” The budget hearing also included hearings on two proposed Local Laws pertaining to zoning enforcement on unregistered motor vehicles and increase in license fees to cover state-mandated requirements.

Thurman churches set Easter Services
Buyces thankful for tribute luncheon
M
yrtle and Elmer Buyce were recently honored by townsfolk for their years of community service at a tribute luncheon, and they’d like to thank everyone for planning and attending the event. Held at the Thurman Baptist Church, the luncheon drew about 160 people, and it focused on the Buyce’s work for the church as well as their good deeds for the community. They said this week that they deeply appreciated such a nice surprise when so many friends, relatives, and neighbors came out to wish them well. Myrtle had relatives who came from as far as Massachusetts and North Carolina, as well as many from the local area. Many of those attending were old friends that they’d not seen in years. It was such a lovely day for this happy couple. They thank not only the pastor and his wife, but everyone who brought in food dishes, and helped with the serving and cleanup.
Special days in Thurman Birthdays this week include those of Karen Dingman, Tom Baker, Katrina Moulton, John P. Wilde, and Myron Cameron on March 27; Cindy Lamb, Ed Baker Sr., and Joe Smarro on March 28; Charles Dingman Sr. on March 29; Rick Kenyon, Mary Williams, and Patrick Cobb on March 30; Joan Murphy, Charlotte Needham, and Earl Rounds on March 31; Bonnie Monroe on April 1; and Bea Bevins, Nathan Lucia, and Sherry Baker celebrate April 2.

Happy Easter everyone! When you take the kids out fishing, tell them to be careful and to not catch the Easter bunny. He will be out “hoppin” and checking places out. A lady in the Hamlet of Athol was washing up her dishes when a flutter caught her eye out of the window above her sink. Yes, the first robin on March 12, even with so much snow on the ground had landed on a tree branch, and was checking out where he could find worm. Others, however, have been seeing robins — apparently confused birds — even flocks of them, over the past several weeks. Get well wishes are out to Mary Winslow who is back home after hip surgery and on her way to recovery.

Beware of rabies, says town official A fox believed to be rabid has been disposed of, and it provides a reminder we should all be cautious around wild animals. Children should be warned not to approach any animals, particularly those acting in an unusual manner. Thurman Town Supervisor Red Pitkin said this week that a fox was found March 12 on a lawn near the Thurman Town Hall in Athol. Onlookers thought the fox was acting strange, so it was killed and disposed of. Pitkin wants everyone to make sure their pets are up-o-date on their rabies shots. On March 27 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., a Warren County rabies clinic will be held at the Luzerne-Hadley firehouse. For details, call 761-6580. An apology is due concerning an error in the March 13 Journal which listed the town meetings on March 11, and should have been Tuesday March 16.
Notes from recent town meetings Discussion of sharing a garbage truck with the town of Stony Creek has been discussed among town board members during the January and February meetings, but no decisions were reached. A resolution was passed to enter into a contract with the Thurman Volunteer Fire Co. The town board authorized payment of $75,850 to the Fire Co. for the purpose of fire protection in the town.

This resolution was passed with three board members in favor and two “Nay” votes. A resolution was passed to have the town payroll prepared by Liberty Management Services. A resolution was approved endorsing salaries of town officials. Another motion was passed to approve spending $1,300 for engineer-stamped blueprints for town hall renovations to provide handicapped access in both the front and rear of the town hall.

CHESTER • ADIRONDACK JOURNAL - 9
Volunteers present downtown revitalization plans By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — The stretch of stores and houses down Main Street, the historic downtown of the Town of Chester, once was a busy, vibrant scene with plenty of shopping and socializing. Now it’s primarily a row of vacant storefronts with minimal activity, even at the peak of the summer tourist season. But a group of citizens are seeking to reverse the trend, and they presented their revitalization ideas at a recent town board meeting. Chestertown resident Mary Jane Dower talked about the plans drafted to date by a downtown revitalization committee she leads. The overall goal would adhere to the town’s existing Master Plan, and the first step would be upgrading the streetscape infrastructure, she said, using a $72,000 grant obtained recently through Warren County. The initial objectives would be to repair sidewalks, install benches and trash receptacles, add up to 10 decorative streetlights, and plant trees. All these would boost the pedestrian experience and boost commerce and activity downtown, she said. Dower announced a downtown Cleanup Day, planned for May 15, when volunteers would rake leaves and debris, remove trash and litter, and perhaps paint the facades of stores. Local resident Tony Taverni suggested to the Chester Town Board that they review the condition of several build-

ings, now in dilapidated condition, and determine if they are safe and whether the government can either assist in their rehabilitation or mandate they be torn down. Revitalization committee members said they would be trying to locate and apply for grants, whether it was for fixing up historic facades, or buying new furnaces for hard-to-heat commercial buildings with outdated heating equipment. Resident Arnold Jensen talked at the meeting about conducting a survey to determine specific needs of townspeople as they relate to downtown enhancement. Local resident John Behan, an architect based in Saratoga Springs, has volunteered to draft the survey and post it on the town’s website, he said. Grand Union agreed for the committee to place a big decorative planter at their entrance off state Rte. 9 to break up their sea of asphalt, it was reported. North Warren Technology Teacher Chris Stiles agreed to have his students construct it, the volunteers said. One of the most vital projects, Dower said, was “gateway enhancement,” or erecting a sign or signs surrounded by appropriate landscaping, to welcome visitors to town. A hamlet gateway subcommittee is being formed to work with Behan and perhaps others to develop a plan, she said. A part of the problem, committee members said, was that absentee landowners, primarily speculators,bought the downtown buildings years ago expecting to profit by merely holding onto the properties — but their plans went awry with the economic downturn. The result was rows of empty buildings without appropriate renovations, and no tenants with financially feasible businesses to locate downtown. There is hope, Dower said, citing an area restaurant oper-
ator who is seeking to move downtown, perhaps in the old T.J. Fish building. Another business owner, who has a proven track record, is seeking to re-open the landmark Panther Mountain House, she said. Town Supervisor Fred Monroe said he was impressed with the committee’s plans and the work already accomplished. “I’m happy about the enthusiasm of our volunteers — they want to see progress.” He predicted that townsfolk will be surprised at how fast changes take place this summer and next in downtown Chestertown. “I’m surprised at how many people want to help with this revitalization effort,” he said. “the volunteer list just keeps growing.”

Citizens air views on Gaslight buildings By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — During what was the second most crowded public hearing in Warren County in over a decade, about 30 people expressed their views Monday on whether to save or demolish the Opera House and Cavalcade of Cars buildings on the former Gaslight Village plot in Lake George Village. About two-thirds of the people speaking out favored demolishing the Opera House and Cavalcade of Cars buildings on the festival space of what is to be the West Brook environmental park. Those supporting retaining the buildings cited they’d be useful when rehabilitated to host events and trade shows, keep Lake George competitive with other destinations, provide shelter for outdoor events in bad weather, and boost the local economy. Proponents of demolishing the buildings argued that the buildings detracted from the purpose and appearance of the park, would be expensive to rehabilitate and maintain, and were outdated and inappropriate. In a straw vote, about three quarters of the 75 or so citizens attending indicated they favored demolition. Some supervisors downplayed the tilted ratio, noting that the opponents of rehabilitation were well-organized in contrast to the proponents of fixing up the buildings. Joanne Gavin, representing the Lake George Citizens Group, reiterated her longstanding support of demolition. She said she action now to demolish both buildings was the clear, sensible, and popular option, as grant money would pay for the demolition. She said to do otherwise was a foolish, wasteful choice. “How is it that ‘back-door’ politics have ruled this ‘junk’ building situation for some town supervisors?” she asked. “Why is this even a debate?” Robert Foulk said that the buildings couldn’t serve a viable purpose without spending a sizeable sum of tax dollars.
“In a period of financial distress, renovating these buildings is a wildly inconsistent plan.” Nina Chase, a 92-year-old Lake George resident, voiced disagreement. She said the cost estimates for rehabilitation were overstated, the buildings had valuable extensive steel superstructure that could be retained, and she suggested that much of the renovation labor could be accomplished by volunteers. “Vote to keep the buildings and I’ll bake you all a pie,” she said to the county supervisors, who are scheduled to make a decision April 12. “I know the buildings can be saved.” Peter Smith, a restaurateur in Lake George, called Cavalcade of Cars a firetrap. “Architects and engineers have recommended getting rid of the buildings — listen to them,” he said. David Redpath, also a local resident, said the buildings were contrary to the Westbrook Park’s purpose for filtering stormwater and improving the environment. He also said money already spent by the town government was wasteful. “”The former Opera House was declared unsafe after over $150,000 of taxpayer money was poured into this failed adventure,” he said, calling the idea of fixing up Cavalcade a “second money-devouring sinkhole.” His wife Kathy Redpath also chided the supervisors. “What part of broke eludes you?” she asked, referring to the county’s ongoing budget gap. Lake George Town Board member Caryl Clark, however, defended the local government’s choice to rehabilitate Cavalcade for shows and events. “These buildings are built of concrete and steel,” she said. “Our engineer Charles Barrow said it would take minimal money to fix them up — and they’ll help sustain our local economy.” Entrepreneur David Kenny, who owns a roster of motels, hotels, restaurants and other commercial properties, said that renovat-
ing Cavalcade of Cars to create meeting and event space was sorely needed in town, to improve its competitive standing as a destination. “This would be a tremendous boost to our area,” he said, noting that he didn’t view the rehabilitated venue as competition. “It would help both my business and others.” Bonnie Combs said the environmental park without the buildings would be a “beautiful oasis in a sea of commercialism.” Lake George Regional Chamber of Commerce President Luisa Sherman said that Cavalcade held valuable potential as a venue that could draw festivals and conventions. Lake George Mayor Robert Blais presented a plan that called for demolishing the buildings, conducting a market study and business plan to see if building new structures was feasible. He predicted that local government could obtain millions of dollars in grants to fund the new ones. Others said that this wasn’t a viable prediction, considering the state budget shortfall. Jan Strachan said demolition would be a waste of money and potential. “To destroy our $1.5 million in possessions to build something that costs over $2 million is irresponsible,” she said. After the meeting, Queensbury Supervisor Dan Stec said most county officials were ready to approve tearing down the Opera House, but they were still leaning toward saving Cavalcade of Cars if it was feasible and economically prudent. County Budget Officer Kevin Geraghty said he’d like to see a plan and hard facts before making a decision, but county taxpayers shouldn’t shoulder the burden. “People who say keep buildings, they give compelling reasons,” he said. “But I want to know where the money is coming from to bring them up to code. If the town wants to fix up one building, perhaps the county should let it go ahead — but I’m not for saving either one until we see something in writing — we need a plan.”
Stec ditches bid for Congress seat By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — Queensbury Supervisor Dan Stec announced Monday he was ending his campaign for the Republican Party nomination for a seat in U.S. Congress. “I dropped out because of a lack of support — I’m not exactly a household name,” he said. “I’m a little disappointed — but Queensbury Supervisor Dan nothing ventured, nothStec said Monday he was ‘a little ing gained.” disappointed’ that his campaign For weeks, Stec had fizzled for the 20th Congressional been making the rounds seat. among county RepubliPhoto by Thom Randall can committees in the 20th Congressional district to promote his candidacy, but to date he hadn’t received any endorsements. About two weeks ago, his own Warren County committee voted to choose Tea Party activist Patrick Ziegler of Burnt Hills over Stec for their endorsed candidate. Ziegler and retired Army colonel Chris Gibson of Kinderhook are the only two candidates now actively seeking the G.O.P. endorsement. Stec said Monday both were solid choices. “Both these candidates are capable and qualified,” he said. “I’m fine with either one.” David Harper of Saratoga Springs, a former assistant district attorney, dropped out of the race last week. The winner of the G.O.P. nod would presumably face U.S. Rep. Scott Murphy (D-Glens Falls) in November. Stec had recently been expressing strong viewpoints, on national issues, reflecting conservative Republican values, . But Monday, Stec said he was ready to focus on a lot of vital issues in Warren County and his hometown. Stec, 41, declined to say whether he’d be launching another campaign for Congress in an upcoming election year. “For the time being, I’ll be concentrating on Warren County and Queensbury,” he said. “We have a lot of issues here at home to keep us busy.”

In the wake of billion dollarr Washington W bailouts and the recently pas passed ssed vote on Health Care, we thought ht we’d ask our readers this simple question: How can we fix the economy? Here is what one taxpayer suggested in the St. Petersburg, Florida Times: Dear Mr. President: Please find below my suggestion for fixing America’s economy. Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the “Patriotic Retirement Plan”: There are about 40 million people over 55 in the work force. Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations: 1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed. 2) They MUST buy a new American CAR. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed. 3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed. It can’t get any easier than that!! P.S. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress pay their taxes... Mr. President, while you’re at it, make Congress retire on Social Security and Medicare. I’ll bet both programs would be fixed pronto!

Will ice out be early this year? A
pril 1 may mark the official opening of trout season in these parts, but any wily veteran will tell you your chances of actually getting out on a pond that early are about as good as Tiger Woods staying monogamous. Well, alas, this year I truly believe will be different — but perhaps not as different as you might think. I took a stroll last weekend into a couple of my favorite ponds in the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness Area and found they looked like this (yes, that’s solid ice covering the pond from shore to shore): Aside from an opening at the outlet and signs of decay around boulders which got warmed by the mid-day sun, this particular pond looked nearly identical last year at this time. I know, I was there. And it wasn’t fishable until April 15. One of the most useful tools in my brook trout fishing arsenal has been a log my brother and I keep that details information like when ice out occurs on a particular pond, as well as when fish seem to hit best and on what. What I’ve found is that ice out rarely varies much from one year to the next — at least not wildly. Certainly the ice covering may be gone a week early this year (at least if this recent cold snap breaks) but I doubt it will be any earlier than that. I plan to head back in again this weekend and will keep you apprised of what I find. I can guarantee you that if there is fishable water on April 1, I’ll be taking advantage of it. I’ve already cleaned every reel to a spit shine and replaced my line three times. I’m like a kid at Christmas this time of year. The warmer-than-usual month of March may speed up the DEC’s stocking efforts as well, especially in local rivers and streams that are often more accessible than backcountry ponds. The Boquet River, for example, is infused with 5,220, 8-9 inch brookies in the spring right here in E-town along with hundreds of browns, and the AuSable gets loaded with thousands of browns, brookies and rainbows in Keene and Jay. For a complete list of waters to be stocked by the state this spring, visit http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/30465.html. Once there, you can click on the appropriate county of interest.

Anglers await open water opportunities
D
espite a recent spell of sunny skies and warm weather, it’s never safe to pronounce that winter has finally expired in the Adirondacks. However, to date, average temperatures for the month of March have been about 10 degrees above normal, while rainfall has been far below average. I expect the normal weather will eventually catch up to us, but hopefully it won’t arrive during the annual spring break. Trees are beginning to sprout buds and flies are in The arrival of budding pussythe air. In my backyard, the willows are a reliable signal pussywillows are out, which that open brook trout waters usually indicates that ice out are close at hand. can't be far behind. It would be nice to access the ponds while a snowpack remains. I’d far prefer to skid my boat over the snow, than haul it several miles overland on my back. All we need are just a few days of sunshine and 60 degree weather, combined with some heavy rains, and the trout season will be off to it’s earliest start in recent memory.
Bell’s Regret
while satellite phones have expanded it beyond earthly bounds and into space. Sadly, in the current day, cell phones have indeed become one of the most popular children’s toys. They have moved far beyond the intended purpose of simple communication, and are now used primarily as an entertainment device. Telephone communications have advanced so rapidly and have become so pervasive that it is almost impossible to escape their presence. And while there are a number of local communities that haven’t been breached or reached via a new cell tower, the numbers are very few. For the remainder, my advice is to be careful what they wish for. Last summer, on the summit of Mt. Marcy, I witnessed a gentleman screaming into a cell phone while making dinner reservations. On another occasion, the deafening silence of the still afternoon was shattered as a kid on the opposite shore of a backwoods pond shared his cell phone conversation with every camper in the area. While I fully understand the essential elements of safety that a complete network of cell coverage provides, I can’t escape their invasiveness. Quite simply, there should remain certain places on this earth where a person can’t be reached and where cellular communications can’t intrude. Beyond the fact that rude behavior knows no bounds, the fact that civilization can now encroach upon even the wildest areas on earth, makes these areas less wild, maybe even tame. In 1878, Bell wrote, “It is possible to connect every man's house, office or factory with a central station, so as to give him direct communication with his neighbors.” Years later, Bell came to realize the errors of his ways. Eventually, he determined that civilization shouldn’t be permitted to encroach everywhere. At the time he had already founded Science magazine and was the president of the National Geographic Society. He had been hard at work in an attempt to develop flying and although he had amassed over 3,000 patents beyond his original, the telephone had finally palled on him. On his seventy-fifth birthday, Bell stunned the world when he disclosed that he did not have a telephone in his own study. Further, he announced that there was no telephone in the Coconut Grove home of his daughter-in-law, where he spent winters working on fresh inventions. When questioned why he refused to have a phone, Bell explained that he regretted the fact that he was responsible for an invention he considered, “the greatest single intrusion of an individual’s privacy ever invented.” Years later, due to concerns over his failing health, he finally permitted a phone to be installed at his estate in Nova Scotia. However, he directed the phone could only be installed in the garage, so that he wouldn’t be subject to the “device’s infernal ring.” On Aug. 2, 1922, Alexander Graham Bell died. He is buried at his estate, Beinn Bhreagh, in Nova Scotia. I wonder what the great inventor would think of today’s cell phones, which are surely no longer, “a toy, that no child would be interested in.”
“Leave the beaten track occasionally and dive into the woods. Every time you do so you will be certain to find something that you have never seen before. Follow it up, explore all around it, and before you know it, you will have something worth thinking about to occupy your mind. All really big discoveries are the results of thought.” The above quote comes from a young Alexander Graham Bell, who sat in the gardens of his family home in Brantford, Ontario on a warm summer day in July 1874 staring at the Grand River. It was a day that inspiration struck and Bell finally grasped the principle on which his most famous invention, the telephone, would work. Two years later, on February 14, 1876, Bell’s patent application for the telephone was filed at the United States Patent Office. He was granted the first telephone patent, U.S. Number 174,465, on his twenty-ninth birthday. It has been called the most valuable patent ever issued. Three week’s later on March 10, 1876 the first intelligible human voice was heard over a telephone, as Bell called to Watson, “Mr. Watson. Come here. I want to see you.” On a subsequent visit to his parent’s home in Ontario, later that same year, Bell completed one of the three crucial public demonstrations to prove that the telephone was a practical form of communication. His invention would reshape the world. In 1878, Rutherford B. Hayes was the first US president to have a telephone installed in the White House. His first call was conducted with Alexander Graham Bell, who was waiting for the call some 13 miles away from the White House. Decades later, on Jan. 25, 1915, Bell participated in the formal opening of the first transcontinental telephone line by talking on the telephone in New York to the same Mr. Watson in San Francisco. Watson and Bell’s initial telephone conversation of 1876 was transmitted a total distance of just 20 feet. By 1915 it spanned a continent and Bell lived to see the telephone deJoe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. liver speech across the Atlantic and from Washington to Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net. Honolulu without wires. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, March 3, 1847, Bell immigrated to Canada in 1870 for health reasons, after his brother ’s death of tuberculosis two years earlier. Bell arrived with his parents, and his sister-in-law, Carrie Bell, and settled in Brantford, Ontario. Reportedly, he developed the phone to help family members, who suffered from hearing problems. At the time, his father-inlaw did not agree with Bell’s efforts. He claimed the device would simply be a toy and that “no child would be interested in playing with it.” However, since Bell’s death in 1922, the telecommunication industry has undergone an amazing revolution.

Rachael Ray benefit show tickets remain
Eileen Nolan Hentcy March 17, 2010 Eileen Nolan Hentcy, 89, winter resident of Fort Pierce, Florida passed away March 17, 2010 in fort Pierce. Born in Philadelphia, PA, she was a former resident of East Hardwick and Elmore, Vermont. Survivors include 3 daughters, Norleen McClelland and her husband, Robert, Edie Hentcy, and Kathleen Hentcy and her partner, Willa Farrell. Family and friends will gather from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Sunday March 28th, at the Hentcy/Farrell home, 5177 Noyestar Road, East Hardwick, VT 05836 A guest book may be signed at www.yatesfuneralhome.com.
LAKE GEORGE — Tickets are still available for the Lake George Alumni Association’s Rachael Ray benefit show April 22 at the high school. Rachael Ray — celebrity cook, talk show host, author, magazine mogul and 1986 Lake George High School graduate — will be giving her annual cooking demonstration and fan reception 7 p.m. Thursday April 22 in the high school. The event is followed by a complimentary buffet with professional chefs preparing Ray recipes on-site. Tickets cost $25, and there’s a limit of six per person. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to local charities — the S.P.C.A and area food pantries — as well as to Ray’s Purrs & Paws campaign. Following the demonstrations, Ray has traditionally greeted fans one-by-one, autographing her books. For details on the event, or tickets, call 668-5452 Ext. 1201.
Mason From page 1 he replied. “There’s a lot of security being in the hospital, but it’s so nice to have the freedom to come home — it’s been a while since I slept in my own bed and watched my own t.v.”
Therapy dominated his days For weeks, Mason’s been dreaming of getting back to ordinary life, even if it’s merely mowing the lawn or accomplishing spring cleanup chores in his back yard, he said. Just days earlier, he had been in Sunnyview, undergoing the daily routine of physical therapy to learn how to walk with his paralyzed lower half. In one of those sessions, Hamilton had walked about 30 feet, back and forth, with the help of a walker. “This was a workout,” Hamilton had said. “It feels good to be back amongst the standing.” “Nice job,” the Sunnyview therapist responded. Hamilton explained his therapy routine as he wheeled back to his room. The walking practice occurs in the morning, and “Occupational Therapy,” or learning how to get from a bed or mat into a wheelchair, is offered in the afternoons. ”All this is to develop my balance, which is difficult without feeling in my legs or controlling their movement,” he said. “It’s amazing how quickly you pick up how to use a wheelchair — I’ve been in it about three weeks but I’m getting pretty savvy to it.” Not only was Hamilton achieving mobility during that early-March session, but his body was beginning to heal, regaining some of the control in his legs that he lost in the crash.
Lake George Alumni and volunteers Sue Mellon, Judy Sullivan, Lindy Sicard, Mary Cahill (seated) plus Todd Wood and Maryann Gipson (standing, rear) sell the first set of Rachael Ray tickets Saturday for the celebrity’s upcoming show.
He looked down at his thigh, and made his right quadricep twitch, then he smiled broadly. “It’s minimal, but it’s a start,” he said. “Any improvement, as small as they seem, are forward progress — I’ll take it and keep going.”
Outpouring of support from friends His solid improvement in mobility, plus the immense support he’s gotten from family and friends, are crucial as he reorients his life, he said. This support includes 1,026 friends on Facebook checking into his progress, waiting for intermittent messages from Hamilton. Such an outpouring of caring and concern is almost overwhelming, Hamilton said. “I appreciate each and everyone on Facebook supporting me,” he said. “This group includes people I haven’t seen in years, or people I don’t even know — it’s really crazy. People are going far beyond anything I’d ever think of.” Brought home from Sunnyview hospital Friday were dozens of cards, photos and letters that earlier were plastered over the walls. Gifts had lined the floor of his room. One gift bag contained a Nerf bazooka that friend Craig House brought to him, so they could blast each other with foam balls for laughs. “People have been so thoughtful,” Hamilton said in that session in Sunnyview. “I’ve changed some — I appreciate the little things in life more now.” That includes appreciating a kind gesture, or a thoughtful comment, he said.
Tackling the new ‘normal’ Then there’s the goal of taking camping and fishing trips
like he used to do, with a dozen or more guys from Warrensburg and Thurman, up to Lincoln Pond. “I’d like to figure out how to get back to doing stuff the way it was as much as possible,” he said. “But normal is going to take on a whole new face.” While Hamilton was recovering, dozens of his friends worked to update his home so it’s barrier-free and can accommodate a wheelchair. Hamilton said he can’t wait to see all those who were hard at work fixing up his place. “It’s going to be emotional for me to get back to see people who jumped into this thing with both feet,” he said. “I hope one day I can help out people like they have helped me. It drives me crazy to not be able to give back right now.” At this point, Hamilton is already giving back, but to others who have undergone similar injuries. While he is now returning to Sunnyview several times per week for further therapy, he’s volunteered to be a mentor to the new Sunnyview patients. Hamilton was chosen because of his positive cheerful attitude that persists despite substantial challenges, his friends said. When Hamilton officially gave up residence in Sunnyview Friday morning, dozens of nurses and therapists gave him lots of hugs. He also got encouragement from Warrensburg High 1994 graduate Darrin Rafferty, who is Sunnyview’s Director of Wellness. After he wheeled through his home hours later, inspecting a huge tiled shower, conveniently positioned appliances and widened doorways, Hamilton talked about the future. “From here on out it’s about adapting, and I’m going to keep working forward,” he said of his new mobility challenges. “My goal is to get out of this chair and be mobile again — but in the meantime, we’ll do the best we can with what we’ve got.”
