BALLSTON SPA — Warrensburg High School 1998 graduate Lenny Baker, who was a standout wrestler for the school and went on to become an NCAA national champion, has been awarded a professional fight contract in mixed martial arts competition. His first of three pro fights with Cage Fury Fighting Championships is to be held June 30 at the Borgata Casino in Atlantic City, N.J., Baker said in a recent interview. “I’m very, very excited about this,” he said, adding he was now in top condition. “I’m 31 years old, in my prime, and this is the best I’ve ever felt.” Although he is wellversed in wrestling, Lenny has been training to develop punching skills, footwork and fighting strategies with

Warrensburg Central falls within state tax ceiling By John Gereau
johng@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — The Warrensburg Central School Board of Education adopted a 2012-13 spending plan March 26 that would increase taxes by 2.88 percent. That falls within the state mandated tax threshold, which at Warrensburg Central was determined to be 2.89 percent. If approved by a majority of the voters May 15, the tax increase would mean that a resident in the Warrensburg school district with a $100,000 home would see a $40.64 increase in 2012-13. A resident with a home assessed at $150,000 would see a $60.96 increase. Those numbers are based on this year ’s assessment and equalization rate. Schools throughout the North Country have been struggling to reduce expenditures to remain within the state mandated tax cap, and Warrensburg was no exception. To hold the tax increase to just 2.88 percent, the district was forced to eliminate 11
positions, including six teachers and two teacher ’s assistants. Only two of those will be eliminated through attrition — one teacher and one clerk. Five teachers and four support staff will be laid off, saving the district $600,000. The instructional positions eliminated include two special education teachers, one speech teacher, one elementary teacher, one family and consumer specialist and a technology teacher. Warrensburg Business Manager Cynthia Turcotte said the cuts were made in classrooms with declining enrollment, but she stressed programs will not be affected. “We were forced to make cuts, so we did it in areas we felt would not affect programming, where enrollment was down,” Turcotte said. “No one wants to see anyone lose their jobs, but difficult decisions had to be made.” Warrensburg Superintendent Tim Lawson also said it was difficult to make staff reductions, because it directly affects the liveli-
hood of people. But, he said school officials were careful to choose areas that would not affect programs offered to students. “We will offer the same scope and breadth of programming; the only difference will be in how we deliver it,” Lawson said. “We wanted to maintain the program opportunities and electives offered to our students.” The total 2012-13 budget is $18,697,247, that’s a .95 percent increase over the current spending plan, Turcotte said. Turcotte said the district’s state aid incrreased by $60,806 over the governor ’s original proposal following the adoption of the state budget March 30. She said Lawson will be recommending at the next Board of Education meeting on April 16 that the additional state aid be used to reduce the proposed tax levy. Other areas where savings were obtained included sharing a school psychologist with another school district,

Turcotte said. The district will also use $900,000 of fund balance and $90,000 of reserve, she said. The teacher ’s association has made no salary, step or health insurance concessions in the 2012-13 budget. Teachers at Warrensburg Central have been without a contract since June 30, 2011 and are currently in negotiations for a new contract, Turcotte said. For the second year in a row, both Turcotte and Lawson voluntarily agreed to a pay freeze during the year ahead. The vote on the 2012-13 spending plan will take place from 7 a.m - 8 p.m. Tuesday, May 15 in the High School gymnasium.

Lake George proposing a tax hike of less than 2 percent By John Gereau

‘Sham-Rock the Block’ hailed as good family fun By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Monday, Linda Duffy sat in her tavern Monday, March 26 and read a thank-you note from Lake George Mayor Blais, expressing appreciation for her work organizing the village’s first St. Patrick’s Day Parade and two-day “Sham-Rock the Block” party. People have called the weekend a rousing success, and plans are now under way to expand the celebration next year. “The parade was fantastic, and this was one of the best off-season weekend the village of Lake George has experienced in years,” the note said. “The village has heard nothing but great comments about it.” Duffy smiled when she read a similar note from another citizen. “It was a great celebration, surpassing anything we hoped for,” the note said. Duffy said the fest was such a success because it was not only enjoyed by adult revelers, but families with children of all ages — primarily due to the wide range of activities offered. Also, there were no problems with uncontrolled rowdiness, authorities said, routinely associated with St. Patrick’s Day. Lower Amherst St. was blocked off for most of two days for the event, which featured Gaelic music, Irish food, and a beer garden outside Duffy’s Tavern. For children, activities included bounce houses, pony rides, face painting, games and ATV excursions. Adult games were also popular, Duffy said. The kegtossing competition attracted about 25 entrants — and the traditional “swinging of the Haggis” also had a solid number of competitors. Children enjoyed games on the lawn of the old County Courthouse while their parents experienced the adjacent presentations of Irish dancers, singers and musicians performing in the Bella’s Deli parking lot, transformed into an open theater. Duffy said children par-

old County Courthouse — and were rewarded by ice cream cones donated by Stew-
arts Shops. Hundreds lined Canada St. for the parade held on Sunday. A number of Irish bands marched alongside floats sponsored by nearly two dozen local businesses and organizations, she said. The procession extended from Fort William Henry north to Amherst St. Irish bands participating included the Sons & Daughters of Erin of Saratoga Springs, and the state Dept. of Corrections’ Emerald Society ensemble. “The parade was awesome, particularly with the community support,” Duffy said. Considering that the parade participation grew past expectations, Duffy said that next year, it may extend down Beach Road. “A parade with Lake George in the background would be beautiful,” she said.
Post-Star lays off one-third of reporting staff By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com GLENS FALLS — The Post-Star, the southern Adirondack region’s daily newspaper, has laid off one-third of its entire staff of news reporters, leaving people questioning their news coverage territory. Calls placed to Post-Star Publisher Rick Emanuel and City Editor Bob Condon were not returned by deadline. Managing Editor Ken Tingley was on vacation, according to his voicemail message. Sources familiar with the Post-Star said the staff cuts were made by Wednesday, March 28. As of Thursday, March 29, the names of news reporters Thomas Dimopoulos, Jamie Munks and David Taube were removed from the Post Star ’s online staff directory, which the day before listed nine news reporters’ names. Dimopoulos covered Saratoga and Washington County. Both Munks and Taube covered Washington County. The cuts made this week apparently went beyond the news reporting staff. Also absent from the company directory Thursday were the names of copy editor Christopher FitzGerald, photographer Aaron Eisenhauer and sportswriters Mary Albl and Larry Hall. Reporters remaining at the Post-Star refused to talk this week about the staff cuts. A visit to the Post-Star ’s Saratoga bureau early afternoon Friday, March 30 revealed it was dark and not staffed. Mark Wilson’s March 29 commentary on Brian Farenell’s blog — Musings of a Fair-
ly Young Contrarian, mofyc.blogspot.com — questioned whether the Post-Star was discontinuing coverage of the Saratoga Springs region and reducing its coverage of Washington County. Phone calls to Lee Enterprises, the parent company of the Post-Star, weren’t returned as of Saturday. Similar large-scale cuts in staff were made this past week at several of the other 51 daily newspapers that Lee Enterprises owns, entirely or jointly, across the U.S., according to news reports. Just days before these staff cuts, Lee Enterprises declared a $500,000 bonus for Chief Operating Officer Mary Junck, and a $250,000 bonus for Chief Financial Officer Carl Schmidt. Lee Enterprises went through Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings several months ago, although the top company officers had earlier assured investors it wouldn’t happen and the company had a financially solid future. Lee’s stock has fallen from a high of nearly $50 per share to its present range of 62 cents to $1.45. As of Friday, the closing price was $1.28. When the stock price was in the $35-to$45 range, Lee Enterprises had enticed its employees, including Post-Star workers, to invest in the shares. The last substantial layoffs at the PostStar occurred in March 2009, and at that time, the Post-Star printed a news release and answered questions about the staff reduction. In the 2009 staff-cut announcement, Emanuel had noted the declining economic conditions as a factor.

LAKE GEORGE — Depending on the town, homeowners in the Lake George School District with a $200,000 home would see their school bill increase by somewhere between $24 to $36 annually if the proposed 2012-13 spending plan were adopted today. School officials are putting the finishing touches on a 201213 budget that includes a 1.98 percent increase in the tax levy, from $17,385,259 to $17,729,487. That falls within the state mandated tax cap of 2.21 percent at Lake George Central. The total proposed spending plan for 2012-13 is $20,522,732, up 1.32 percent over the current $20,256,266 budget. To keep expenditures down, the district will cut six instructional and three non-instructional positions, for a savings of nearly $500,000. According to district Business Manager Kathleen DuBois, the district was fortunate to have six employees retiring, and therefore will avoid having to lay off six of the nine employees whose positions will be eliminated. Those positions, including a high school math teacher, a remedial reading teacher in the elementary school, two special education teachers and two teacher’s assistants, will not be filled. Those staff cuts, combined with continued reductions in supplies, no classroom equipment purchases, the elimination of a custodian position and bus run and driver cut $230,000 more from the spending plan, DuBois said. The district will also use $750,000 of fund balance and $50,000 of reserve funds to reduce the tax levy. DuBois said the district’s state aid incrreased by $14,139 over the governor’s original proposal following the adoption of the state budget March 30. The increase will positively affect the expected tax levy, and additional changes will be reviewed at an April 17 meeting of
the Board of Education, she said. Lake George Superintendent Patrick Dee said it is going to be a process next school year making sure the district has the staff to cover the losses, but said they are working to make sure that gets done. “We worked very hard to keep the tax levy as low as possible and were fortunate to have some fortuitous retirements to help in that regard,” Dee said. While teachers of the district have not yet made salary, insurance or step concessions, DuBois said the teacher’s association is currently in negotiations for a new contract and she said the talks “look promising.” At the same time, non-instructional staff, such as secretaries, custodial, cafeteria and other clerical workers agreed to double the amount they pay toward their health insurance coverage, a move that is expected to save the district between $8,000$10,000 next year. Since their contract wasn’t set to expire until next year, they made the concession voluntarily, DuBois said. “They didn’t have to agree to that,” DuBois said. “I just think that speaks volumes about this community, and how much they value this school.” Last year, Lake George Central was forced to adopt a contingency budget after voters twice defeated the budget at the polls. Afterward, district officials were forced to make a number of concessions, eliminating three instructional and four teaching assistant positions, as well as several extra-curricular activities and clubs. If adopted today, the 1.98 percent tax levy increase would mean a homeowner with a home assessed at $200,000 in Lake George and Bolton would pay $36.13 more in the coming budget year. The same homeowner in Queensbury would pay $29.58 more, and $23.66 more in Fort Ann. Those numbers are based on this year’s assessment and equalization rate. The Board of Education is expected to formally adopt the

It is with happiness that I am able to tell everyone that on 2/18/12, Matthew was finally feeling well enough to go back to school. Although he is still in treatment and will be for some time, it seems as though he is through the worst. The Agard family would like to sincerely thank everyone who reached out to us. Thank you for the fundraisers, the benefits, the thoughtful donations, and being there for us emotionally. We are overwhelmed by and proud of the support that came from a small town. We hope you know how much we appreciate all of your well wishes and love. We hope that someday we can touch someone’s life like all of you have touched ours.
Sincerely,

Horace Nye: It’s time to sell
T
he time has come for the Horace Nye Nursing Home in Elizabethtown to no longer be the responsibility of the Essex County taxpayer. The county-owned facility has been operating at a loss for more than the past decade, draining money from the county coffers and adding to a tax levy that is now made tighter by the restriction of the two-percent cap. It is clear that the most appropriate business decision is to cut the county’s losses and get out of the nursing home business, either through the sale of the facility to one of three interested bidders (Centers for Specialty Care out of New York City; Gerald Woods CPA, out of Nassau County; and Elliot Management Group out of Rockland County), or by shutting down the facility entirely. Since 2001, the Horace Nye Nursing Home has been over $21 million in the red, not good for a facility that was set up with the express purpose to make money for the county under an Enterprise Fund. It has not been enterprising at all. Washington County, which is similar in size to Essex, has already made the leap and is currently in negotiations for the sale of both its health care services and the Pleasant Valley Nursing Facility to National Health Care Associates Inc. The firm bid $6.56 million for both county health care packages. In Essex County, the home is the only item on the table, and has received three, matching, $4 million bids. Warren County is also discussing the issue as they face major budget decisions. While $4 million may be nothing compared to the $21 million in losses, at least it is something compared to the tax hole that would be sitting in Elizabethtown if the facility were to close its doors entirely. Don’t think that option is not on the table. County Manager Daniel Palmer has said that if the county continues on its present course with the money the home is hemorrhaging, closure would be a definite option. “It becomes unsustainable and at what point do you decide that you

are going to stay in the business or completely shut the doors,” he said. With a sale, the county receives at least some financial return. It will also have controls in place over the facility to keep employees in their jobs and keep a percentage of beds reserved for county residents or low-income individuals. That seems a far better option than having no facility at all. We understand that this is a tough, controversial issue and that there are a lot of people who are invested in the outcome. Supervisors, county employees, nurses, staff, patients, seniors and families are all invested in this drama playing out before them. At the same time, it seems the most vocal opponents of the sale have been county employees who fear that privatization could impact their pay and benefits, or, worse — cost them their job altogether. While we cannot blame these employees for voicing those concerns, the supervisors cannot allow that to sway their vote, and we fear further dialogue in settings such as public hearings would be dominated by more of the same. The board of supervisors was elected to look out for county taxpayers as a whole, not a select few — it is time they step up and make the difficult decisions they were elected to make. If it is deemed through studying other private facilities that the quality of care will not suffer and that privatization will save taxpayers millions annually, then the decision is a no-brainer. And, in the final analysis, privatization is a much better option for those same employees and the patients they care for than not having a facility here at all.

Agricultural Train draws big crowd 100 Years Ago - April 1912 Wildcat attacks man, injures horse Louis Napoleon Beach, a former Warrensburgh man, who is now employed in Harry Raymond’s livery stable at Riverside, while driving from North River to Hooper ’s Mines late in the afternoon one day recently, had a thrilling adventure with a wildcat which has been hanging around that section all winter. Mr. Beach was driving a pair of horses belonging to his employer, hitched to a light wagon. As they passed under a large pine tree, about three miles from North River, he heard a noise in the branches and down into the wagon dropped the big cat. The horses became frightened and bolted while the driver was struggling with the animal. Mr. Beach attacked the cat with the butt of his horse whip, but this only served to enrage the fury of the creature and it clawed and bit, making several ugly wounds in the unfortunate man. The horses made a sudden jump to one side of the road which dislodged the cat from the wagon and thoroughly maddened, the team ran wildly toward the village of Garnet. As they came to the house of R.J. Bennett, they bolted into his barnyard where they stopped so suddenly that Mr. Beach was thrown to the ground. After he was somewhat recovered he went into the house where Mrs. Bennett dressed the wounds inflicted by the cat. The attack has greatly stirred up the people of that section. One of the horses, valued at $250, was badly injured and will probably have to be shot. Note…A wildcat is also known as a cougar, mountain lion, puma, catamount, panther, painter, etc. and the DEC would have us believe that they have not lived in the Adirondacks since the late 1800s, although there continues to be many reported sightings of them by reliable people. The question is, do they live here or are they just passing through? Similar to “Bigfoot,” they are elusive creatures. I have seen big paw prints in the snow in my own back-
yard that has made me wonder just what had been there. In December of 2010 a cougar was sighted in a Lake George backyard and employees of DEC followed his tracks to an area near Truesdale Hill Road, just south of Warrensburgh, where they collected hair samples for DNA analysis. Later a 140 pound male cougar was killed by a car in Milford, Connecticut and it turned out to be the same animal. Its genetic markers indicated the animal had made the long walk to the Adirondacks from South Dakota. It is possible, however, that Mr. Beach could have been attacked by a ferocious bob-cat, also known as a lynx, which can weigh as much as forty pounds. We will never know for sure.)
Old flag replaced The old flag that has floated on the top of the Masonic building since Feb. 12, 1912, three days after the work had started on the removal of the building in Glens Falls to its new location on Glen Street, has been torn to ribbons by the wind and has been replaced by a new flag. The old flag was loaned by Colonel G. Frank Bryant to the Masonic Club on Lincoln’s birthday. It has been owned by him since 1888 when he used it in the Benjamin Harrison campaign which was conducted in this county by the Harrison-Morton Club, of which he was president. The flag had only twenty-five stars as there was but twentyfive states in the union at that time. The scenes of activity of the HarrisonMorton Club in this county were around Lake George where a log cabin was built by Colonel Bryant as the emblem of Harrison. This was the same emblem that Harrison’s grandfather, William Henry Harrison had used in his presidential campaign before he became the ninth president of the United States. Large numbers of people gathered at the lake when a public meeting of the club was held and George A. Batcheller, one of the great orators of those days, was present and
made a speech as the flag was raised over the log cabin. A short time later this same flag was used in a parade held by the club in Glens Falls. It is now in the possession of Edward Durin of Washington, D.C. Note…Benjamin Harrison defeated Grover Cleveland in 1888 and served as president from 1889 to 1893. He failed reelection in 1892 and went back to being a lawyer when he was put out of office. It would be interesting to know if that tattered old flag still exists today. It could possibly have found its way into the large historic flag collection I saw not long ago at the Saratoga military museum. A story and photograph of the old Glens Falls Insurance Company building on the east side of Glen Street being made ready to move across the street to become a Masonic Temple appeared in this column in the Feb. 4, 2012 issue of the Adirondack Journal. It was my pleasure to hear from Allan Bryant, Executive Director of the Queensbury Masonic Historical Society who wrote a story complete with several photographs on this subject for the Post Star newspaper some time ago. I wish to thank him for his encouragement and kind words. It is an odd co-incidence that although Allan Bryant and Colonel G. Frank Bryant have the same surname, they are not related. I wish also to thank my friend, Wayne Wright, Glens Falls City Historian, for sharing his vast knowledge about this story with me. I spoke with Mike Lawler of Warrensburgh who has been a dedicated Mason in excellent standing for 52 years. Mike spoke of Abraham George who owned the popular Blue Sky Restaurant in Queensbury, which once stood approximately in front of where Wal-Mart stands today. Mike said he can remember Mr. George reminiscing that back in 1912 his father was one of the workers who labored to move that massive building to its new location on Glen Street where it still stands, greatly remodeled, today.)

A big eager crowd of about 1,000 visitors boarded the D.&H. Agricultural Train on Monday afternoon, April 8, 1912 during its stay in Glens Falls. In the crowd were many Adirondack citizens from the north country. Much interest was shown in the exhibits and lectures by state college professors of Cornell University on the subject of farming and animal husbandry. Three all-grade Holstein cows were carried in the first car and furnished a plentiful supply of milk for the entire party on the train. At 5:30 in the afternoon the outfit steamed out, headed for Whitehall, New York. Over 10,000 people have attended the exhibits since the successful tour began and the end is not yet in sight.
Sweet days of spring We are all glad to welcome the spring and summer birds once more after a bitter winter. The sugar makers of Bakers Mills report a good season. Several of the farmers in the area of Landon Hill, Pottersville are busy making maple syrup and sugar. Harry Thurston had the misfortune to burn up quite a quantity of syrup which also spoiled his evaporator. (Note…In 1835 Famous bird painter John James Audubon once described a sugar camp thus: “As I approached it (the fire)…bursts of laughter, shouts, and songs apprised me of some merry-making. I thought at first that I had probably stumbled upon a camp-meeting; but I soon perceived that the mirth proceeded from a band of sugar-makers…With large ladles the sugarmakers stirred the thickening juice of the maple; pails of sap were collected from the trees and brought in by the young people; while here and there some sturdy fellow was seen first hacking a cut in a tree, and afterwards boring with an auger a hole, into which he introduced a piece of hollow cane…”) Readers are welcome to contact Adirondack Journal correspondent Jean Hadden at jhadden1@nycap.rr.com or 623-2210
Letters to the Editor Thanks for the skating rink (The following is an open letter to the town of Warrensburg.) To: Mr. Geraghty and town employees: On behalf of the Warrensburg Central School and the “Burgher Skating Club,” I would like to extend a very gracious thank you to those of you who contributed to the efforts of making and maintaining a skating rink at the recreation field pavilion this past winter. Due to the abnormal weather, this “duty” must have been a great challenge; however, we feel that our inaugural year was a terrific success. The students who participated — Dante Gijanto, Paige Baer, Ellie Lewis, Jesse and Jaron Griffin, Sydney and Matthew Gerrain, Thomas Moore, Hunter Mckenna, Sara Langworthy, Kayla and Devin Casey, Walter Baker, and Mariah Nissen — found the experience to be very rewarding and it introduced to many of these individuals, yet another winter time activity that we can take advantage of while living in the beautiful Adirondack region. Finally, as employees of the district, we would especially like to commend you for your willingness to promote not only skating, but an opportunity for children to be active and involved in a variety of community happenings. Thank you again and enjoy the upcoming season change, Mr. Christopher Brown (fourth grade teacher) Mrs. Pam Mannix (second grade teacher) Ms. Amy Reddy (district library media specialist)
Youth baton, cheerleading classes To the Adirondack Journal: My name is Cindy Altman RN and I am starting Youth Baton and Cheerleading classes to be held on Thursdays after school at Warrensburg Elementary School. Cheer will start at 3 p.m. and Baton at 4 p.m. We started Youth Cheerleading last fall, and thanks to Lori Brown and the organizational assistance by Dianne Angell, we had two squads and 26 girls who practiced hard and cheered well, and most comments were a positive reflection on the increased spirit and increased fan base crowd they produced. Now I want to add Cheer Dance and Marching to the Baton Twirlers as a large group and I hope to have the group ready for the Memorial Day Parade. Classes will be free. I plan on these classes as a workout for all, too. I hope to participate in many of our local area’s holiday activities to make the participants part of these festivities. In order to finance the uniforms, we will have numerous fundraisers. Last year, for the simple temporary uniforms we had first a fundraiser barbecue held at Curtis Lumber that covered half the cost or more. I made a Pine Cone Wreath and Melissa Bliss, one of the parents, donated a carved bear her family had made that we raffled and made enough money to cover pom poms. CB’S and Ashes both helped with selling of those tickets. I found much support all over town and would like to especially thank all the parents who brought the girls to practices and the games. By keeping the classes free, I hope many will participate. Batons will need to be purchased, but I have serveral for use for now. Call 744-6187 for more info. Cindy Altman Athol

Spring Cleaning For Your Car April is National Car Care Month and it is also time for spring cleaning, including your car. Cleaning your vehicle inside and out prevents the buildup of damaging chemicals and dirt, reduces the potential for rust from road salt and helps ensure proper visibility needed for safe driving, according to the Car Care Council. “Keeping your vehicle clean not only protects your valuable vehicle investment, it also fosters a sense of pride and accomplishment,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “It’s a task that takes very little money or effort, but has huge returns.” To get started, remove any clutter from inside the car, including items that have accumulated in the trunk that can add extra weight and reduce fuel efficiency. The next step is to thoroughly clean and vacuum the interior and wash the windows.
When washing the outside, include the tires, wheels, underside and fenders to eliminate any road salt or grime. Wheels and tires whould be cleaned with a mitt other than the one used to wash the body. This will avoid contaminating the vehicle’s paint with debris from the wheels and tires. The vehicle should be washed in the shade and with a product sold specifically for cars. The council recommends washing one section at a
April 7, 2012
time, thoroughly rinsing away the soap as you go. Work your way down toward the front, sides and rear of the vehicle. Clean the fenders and bumpers last since they will have the most dirt and grime that can contaminate the wash mitt. The car should get a final rinse by removing the spray nozzle from the hose and letting the water cascade down the surfaces of the vehicle. To avoid water spots, dry the vehicle with a chamois or other product made for drying. The last step is to wax the car according to the manufacturer’s instructions for application. Waxing should be done out of direct sunlight and every six months. It goes a long way toward protecting the vehicle’s finish and makes subsequent washes easier. If you identified any stone chips, rust or other problem spots while washing your vehicle, the council suggest having these taken care of immediately to prevent further damage.

Pre-Trip Vehicle Checks Make For Safer, Gas-Saving Summer Road Trips With millions of people planning to hit the road this summer, two things will be on their minds - getting to their destination safely and the high price of gas. The Car Care Council recommends a pre-trip vehicle inspection to make sure your vehicle is safe for travel and running efficiently. The pre-trip vehicle check recommended by the Car Care Council includes: • Schedule a tune-up to help the engine deliver the best balance of power and fuel economy and produce the lowest level of emissions. • Check the brake system and make sure the battery connection is clean, tight and corrosion-free. • Check filters and fluids, including
Adirondack Journal - 11
engine oil, power steering and brake and transmission, as well as windshield washer solvent and antifreeze/coolant. Dirty air filters can waste gas and cause the engine to lose power. • Check the hoses and belts that can become cracked, brittle, frayed, loose or show signs of excessive wear. These are critical to the proper functioning of the electrical system, air conditioning, power steering and the cooling system. • Check the tires, including tire pressure and tread. Underinflated tires reduce a vehicle’s fuel economy and uneven wear indicates a need for wheel alignment. Tires should also be checked for bulges and bald spots. • Check that the gas cap is not damaged, loose or missing to prevent gas from spilling or evaporating.

Rising Gas Prices: Don’t Panic, Get Perspective Combat High Prices By Following A Few Simple Steps From The Car Care Council Prices at the pump are moving upward in time for spring and summer road trips. While many motorists may panic as gas prices continue to rise, a little planning, perspective and a few simple steps from the Car Care Councili can go a long way to combat the soaring price of fuel. “It’s easy to be alarmed by the cost of gas, but when motorists take a look at the big picture, they’ll see that much of the increased cost can be offset by adjusting driving habits and implementing a proactive vehicle preventative maintenance plan,” said Rich White, executive director, Car

Care Council. “Fuel economy is related to vehicle maintenance, yeat when gas prices rise, some motorists think they can save money by putting off needed maintenance. What they don’t realize is that neglecting their vehicle can end up costing more.” The Car Care Council offers these gas-saving maintenance tips: • Keep your car properly tuned to improve gas mileage by an average of 4 percent. • Keep tires properly inflated and improve gas mileage by 3 percent. • Replace dirty spark plugs, which can reduce mileage by two miles per gallon. • Change oil regularly and gain another mile per gallon. Driving behavior also impacts fuel efficiency. The council offers these gas-saving driving tips: • Observe the speed limit. Gas mileage decreases rapidly above 60mph. • Avoid excessive idling. Idling gets zero miles per gallon. Warming up the vehicle for
one or two minutes is sufficient. • Avoid quick starts and stops. Aggressive driving can lower gas mileage by 33 percent on the highway and 5 percent in the city. • Consolidate trips. Several short trips taken from a cold start can use twice as much gas as one longer multipurpose trip. • Don’t haul unneeded items in the trunk. An extra 100 pounds in the trunk reduces fuel economy by 1 to 2 percent. “A 20 cent increase in the price of a gallon of gas results in roughly $2 more per week the average consumer must spend,” continued White. “S imple, inexpensive maintenance and altering the way you drive can save as much as $1,200 per year in gas, going a long way to offset soaring fuel prices and keep more money in your wallet.”

North Warren Chamber of Commerce makes VIP selections throughout, from old photographs to vintage signage and wagons. Many who eat here no doubt experience nostalgia for a bygone era when T.J. Fish & Sons and Janser ’s Pharmacy served ice cream. The business is family owned since 1990 and offers simple, whole foods and satisfying meals with an emphasis on health-conscious cuisine. A unique gift shop and clothing boutique upstairs tops off the experience.

way was constructed in the 1960s. Paul also renovated Pottersville’s former post office building, now used as an apartment building, as well as a 19th century two-story frame house where he lives today with his wife, Shirley. Paul is often seen in the summer months decorating buildings in the downtown area with baskets of flowers and tending to plantings and landscaping. Because of concern for the hamlet of Pottersville and his dedication to its restoration, Paul is our VIP choice of the year.

Discipline your children thoughtfully. Never discipline your child when you are upset. Give yourself time to calm down. Remember that discipline is a way to teach your child. Use privileges to encourage good behavior and time-outs to help your child regain control.

Examine your behavior. Abuse is not just physical. Both words and actions can inflict deep, lasting wounds. Be a nurturing parent. Use your actions to show children and other adults that conflicts can be settled without hitting or yelling.

Teach children their rights. When children are taught they are special and have the right to be safe, they are less likely to think abuse is their fault, and more likely to report an offender.

Report abuse. If you witness a child being harmed or see evidence of abuse, make a report to your state’s child protective services department or local police. When talking to a child about abuse, listen carefully, assure the child that he or she did the right thing by telling an adult, and affirm that he or she is not responsible for what happened.

Know the signs. Unexplained injuries aren’t the only signs of abuse. Depression, fear of a certain adult, difficulty trusting others or making friends, sudden changes in eating or sleeping patterns, inappropriate sexual behavior, poor hygiene, secrecy, and hostility are often signs of family problems and may indicate a child is being neglected or physically, sexually, or emotionally abused.

Why is child abuse prevention important? The impact of child maltreatment can be profound. Research shows that child maltreatment is associated with adverse health and mental health outcomes in chidren and families, and those negative affects can last a lifetime. In addition to the impact on the child, child abuse and neglect affect various systems including physical and mental health, law enforcement, judicial and public social services, and nonprofit agencies as they respond to the incident and support the victim.

Know what child abuse is. Physical and sexual abuse clearly constitute maltreatment, but so does neglect, or the failure of parents or other caregivers to provide a child with needed food, clothing, and care. Children can also be emotionally abused when they are rejected, berated, or continuously isolated.

Lenny Baker from page 1
Evelyn Wood from page 1 counties, and parts of northern Saratoga and northern Washington counties. The G.O.P. committees of these four counties have all endorsed Stec. He’s also won the endorsements of the Conservative party committees of Warren and Essex counties as well as the nod from the state Independence Party. In her quest for the Assembly seat, Wood recently made presentations before the Republican committees of Warren, Washington and Essex counties. The momentum of Stec’s candidacy and a variety of other factors, she said, prompted her to withdraw her candidacy. Stec has been in public office for 16 years, compared to 15 months for Wood, who had run based on her deep local heritage and experience with Adirondack issues. She lives on a farm that has been worked by her family since the late 1700s, prior to the formation of Warren County. She said she hopes that the successful candidate for the Assembly seat fully understands the concerns of Adirondackers and the hardships they endure. “I hope that the next Assembly representative concentrates on the press-
ing issues here in the Adirondacks, like broadband access, job development, economic prosperity, and keeping our sons and daughters from leaving the area,” she said April 3. “It is important to area families if their youth are able to stay here, work at good jobs, and are able to raise their families here.” She said that she is not ready to endorse any other candidate at this time, but may do so later on. She said that she hasn’t lost her interest in statewide political service. “I will be keeping my eye on higher public offices in the future,” she said. She also noted that some residents expressed relief that she’d dropped out of the race, because she could resume her concentration on local issues, which include extending broadband access through the mountainous, rural town — and rebuilding roads and bridges destroyed in last year’s flashflood episodes that caused about $7 million in damage. “Town residents want projects done,” she said. “Many of the local people are happy with the job I’m doing, and are glad I decided to stay in the town supervisor’s post.” She has recently helped prepare several grant applications that if successful would prompt several hundred thousand dollars of aid to rebuild the local infrastructure. “I hope to see these things come to fruition and continue on with my work,” she said.

The video can be located by typing in “Lenny Baker” and “mixed martial arts.” Baker was an NCAA Division III National Champion at 141 pounds in 2001 while he was attending SUNY Brockport. He’s now fighting at 155 pounds. Baker is a medical sales representative for Zimmer New England, a provider of orthopedics and other supplies. Rafferty, who serves as Director of Wellness at Sunnyview Hospital in Schenectady, said he hopes people from Warrensburg and northern Warren County will be following Baker’s pro career and cheer him on. “We’re very conscious of our roots, and hopefully we’ll have people that will recognize this and cheer for him,” Lenny Baker is one of our own, and he’ll doubtlessly be doing well as a professional athlete.”

Warrensburg High School graduates Lenny Baker (left) and Darin Rafferty pose after a recent conditioning session at the Legion Training Center in Clifton Park. Baker was recently awarded a professional contract by Cage Fury Fighting Championships in mixed martial arts bouts, based on his recent 58-second knockout in Bennington Vt. Rafferty, a Golden Gloves champion, serves as boxing coach for Baker, who is a 2001 NCAA Division III National Champion wrestler.
schoolmate Darin Rafferty, a 1994 WCS graduate, at Spa City Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Ballston Spa, as well as the Legion Training Center in Clifton Park. They’ve been training together for two years. Rafferty is the boxing coach and strength and conditioning mentor for Lenny and several other fighters. Lenny serves as the wrestling coach at Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Both of them receive Jiu Jitsu training under black belts Chad Beatty and Eddie Fyvie. Baker praised Rafferty, a former Marine, for his expertise and support. Rafferty was a New York State Golden Gloves Champion in 1998. “Darin is willing to give my training his ‘all,’ and having him in my corner brings me a lot of confidence,” Baker said. Baker also credited his father, Leonard Baker of Thurman who coached him in WCS wrestling programs from elementary school through high school and beyond. “My dad was my biggest inspiration — he taught me to never back down, never give up and don’t make excuses — and that’s what I live by,” Lenny Baker said. He added that while people might think that someone in their 30s might be past their prime for such a physically demanding sport, he knows he’s in his best shape ever. “A lot of people put up barriers that limit themselves, but not me,” he said. “So many people don’t test their limits — but I love doing it — There’s so much hidden potential in everyone.” Baker’s most recent amateur fight — which led to his pro contract — was caged mixed martial arts combat in the Bennington Vt. Armory. He won it with a knockout in less than one minute. Baker said that in that fight, he put his extensive wrestling experience to good use. He took his opponent down with wrestling moves, then delivered punches when he was on the mat to finish him off. “I went went with a good game plan,” Baker said. “It’s my
