This Week ELIZABETHTOWN IN BOLTON
By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Envisioned for decades, a brand-new health center is now in the works for Warrensburg. U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer announced early Tuesday May 1 that $5 million in federal funds have been approved for Hudson Headwaters Health Network to replace its Warrensburg Health Center building with a modern two-story structure nearly twice the size. The proposed facility will cost more than $6 million to construct. For over 30 years, HHHN officials have been concerned about problems in adapting the former grocery store building to their needs, particularly with the everincreasing facility demands due to evolving technology. Excess utility consumption has also been an issue in the aging building, originally built as a grocery store. The town of Warrensburg has traditionally paid the center ’s utility bills. In a prepared statement, Schumer said he lobbied for CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

TD Bank clients donate to library Last year, TD Bank employees Carol Sheridan and Becky Coon approached Bolton Library officials and explained the bank’s new Affinity Membership program, in which annual contributions are made to local organizations based upon the average balance in the accounts of participating depositors. New account holders and those with existing accounts enroll in the program by simply choosing an organization to support. The bank does not charge customers a fee and participation does not affect account balances in any way. Confidentiality is maintained. On March 28, Sheridan, Coon, Mariann Roberts Huck and bank branch manager Ginny Ryan presented the Bolton Library Board of Trustees with a check for $2,856. Library Board President Vincent Palazzo expressed his pleasure and surprise at the size of the generous donation.

“This could not have happened at a better time,” he said, noting that the board is now working to reverse a $6,000 operating deficit. Several other board members expressed similar thoughts,

With a $5 million in grant funding now lined up, the existing Warrensburg Health Center is to be replaced with a new $6 million facility, twice as large, which will be built in front of the present building, originally constructed as a grocery store. After the new health center is built — groundbreaking is expected next spring — the old facility will be torn down for municipal parking.
from page 1 the new health center to improve services to patients — and make it easier to recruit and retain doctors and physicians’ assistants. He noted that the new facility would greatly benefit local residents, many of whom are impoverished, as well as help the Warrensburg Health Center become a site for teaching health care professionals. "This is just what the doctor ordered for Adirondack area residents,” Schumer said. “Funding for Hudson Headwaters’ new facility in Warrensburg will improve patient care and bring new blood to the area through the opening of a teaching center. I am thrilled that U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has heeded my call.” Hudson Headwaters founder and CEO Dr. John Rugge said he and other HHHN officials were happy with the approval of the grant, which many said was a long shot. “We are delighted to secure funds in what was an extremely competitive grant process,” Rugge said, noting that the Warrensburg Health Center experiences many
thousands of patient visits per year from people all over the region, seven days and six evenings every week of the year. “Of course, we were able to make a strong case for upgrading the medical capacity in Warrensburg.” Rugge added that the new center would boost efficiency as well as enhance the patient experience and allow additional services to be offered. “With the changes in how we deliver care, we are seeing that the current health center is increasingly hard pressed to keep up with the needs of the community,” Rugge said. “It’s also bursting at the seams.” “This project is huge for Warrensburg,” Warrensburg Town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty said in a prepared statement. “In addition to enhancing excellent health care services, the new health center will be a prominent addition to Main Street. It’s a real positive development for our community.” Hudson Headwaters board member Jean Cronin said the northern HHHN facilities routinely refer many patients to the Warrensburg health center, traditionally the core facility for the chain of 14 health centers in the southern Adirondacks. “It’s gratifying to see how

deeply Hudson Headwaters is committed to Warrensburg,” Cronin said in a press release. “Now we can count on the new health center continuing Hudson Headwaters’ 36-year presence in our community for the next 40 or 50 years.” Rugge praised Senator Schumer for supporting the grant application every step of the way. Hudson Headwaters was one of the few health centers in New York to receive construction funds from the federal Health and Human Services agency.George Purdue, HHHN Chief Administrative Officer, outlined steps that lie ahead for HHHN in turning the new health center into a reality. “We have a lot of work ahead of us,” he said in a press release. “We will now continue to sit down with the Town of Warrensburg to meet planning, design review and other requirements.” Purdue said that the site plan, conceptual design and budget submitted to the federal government need to be refined. Purdue said that Hudson Headwaters expects to break ground as early as next spring. “We are looking to raise more than a million dollars to complete the project,” he said.
The new facility will be built in front of the existing health center, a structure that was originally an A&P grocery store before it was converted in 1976. Once construction is complete, the old facility — which underwent several renovations and expansions — will be torn down and the space redeveloped into a municipal parking lot for both the health center and downtown businesses.

Thoughts on Randy Richards
T
here may be compelling reasons why Lake Placid’s school board continues to stand behind embattled Superintendent Randy Richards. It would behoove all concerned for the board to explain those reasons to the public, because, on the face of it, the situation does not add up. To his credit, Board President Phil Baumbach recently provided us with a rationale for keeping Richards on the payroll. It doesn’t strike us as compelling, but it’s better than silence. “First and foremost, Randy Richards is a responsible guy,” Baumbach said. “He’s been able to provide a good budget for the voters, he’s keeping the academic programs going, and he’s doing this at a very challenging time. We’ve heard what the community has said, but we feel that Randy is moving the school forward ... In any community there will always be differences.” Baumbach’s comments are a start, but seem unlikely to satisfy the crowds that attend board meetings. Creating a responsible budget for the voters and moving a school forward is the minimum that a school superintendent should do. If you haven’t been following this story, here’s an abridged version: Richards has admitted to using language that is wholly inappropriate and unacceptable, particularly when one considers the setting and context in which the offensive terms were used. After that, Lake Placid’s high school principal, Katherine Mulderig — one woman at the receiving end of Richards’ derogatory remarks — filed a gender discrimination complaint against Richards. As has been widely reported, the Equal Opportunity Employment Coalition eventually found that the principal had standing for her claims that Richards engaged in gender discrimination, retaliation, and the creation of a hostile work environment. Mulderig’s peculiar recent exit from the scene adds another wrinkle to the mess. People in Lake Placid and Wilmington are outraged. Taxpayers line up at packed school board meetings (which are now necessarily held in a much larger room) to give the powers that be a dose of their ire, voices shaking with emotion — and receive sustained applause from the crowd. Retired high school principal Robert Schiller has emerged as a voice of dissent, a

position difficult for many who know Schiller to fathom. Schiller always seemed a genial consensus builder, but there he was, handing the school board a petition with nearly 600 signatures demanding Richards’ ouster. Schiller — who is a highly respected member of the community and has rare insight into school matters — recently presented the board with a long list of reasons for the district to shed Richards, most of which are unrelated to his offensive comments. It is readily apparent that large numbers of parents and teachers join Schiller in broadly distrusting Richards’ competence and judgement. It may be that Richards is a decent man who made a mistake, owned up to it, and apologized. However, if Richards wanted to behave decently, it seems likely that he would have resigned months ago, sparing everyone else considerable time and frustration. He has said that he anticipates staying on the job through next spring. We believe that the members of Lake Placid’s school board are public-spirited volunteers who are acting under the advice of attorneys and doing their best under trying circumstances. The idea that they are privy to information that justifies their support for Richards is plausible, but their community is poorly served by any counsel who advises continued silence. Silence in such situations (and they are unfortunately a reoccurring phenomenon around our area) is easily interpreted as stonewalling, as waiting it out until “they” get tired of the matter and move on — or as something more insidious. Secrecy on such matters often serves to increase discord, distrust and division. The firestorm in Lake Placid seems likely to continue until the board presents the public with reasonable explanations. Aren’t taxpayers observing such spectacles entitled to at least that much?

Is the sky falling?
I
really hate to be pessimistic. I also want to avoid being politically slanted. We see far too much of that in society today. Over the last few years that I’ve been writing this column I’ve received many chain emails claiming one viewpoint or another. I am equally offended by things I see coming from the left and the right. In my opinion it is far better to report on, and talk about, the facts than it is to relentlessly use the news in support of a political ideology. With that said, I must confess that I am becoming increasingly worried about our future and about the lack of Americans on both the left and the right banding together to stand up and work for change. People I speak with tend to be very passionate about defending their political perspective based on their alignment with the left or the right. I find very few who are evenly balanced in the middle of our political landscape and are willing to see things from a broad, openminded perspective. Blame it on all the talking heads, the biases of most media organizations these days, the amount of misinformation that is sent through the Internet, or the fact that we cling to the information we want to be true and refuse to listen to anything contrary to that position. As a nation, we were founded on the notion that our basic rights are provided by a supreme being and that ordinary people are more than capable of governing themselves. The United States’ government had one primary purpose: to protect the rights of its private citizens. At the time we became a nation, the world’s nations were generally governed by an elite hereditary class. Individual rights were granted and controlled by those ruling the nation. I fear we are slowly abandoning the premise of our founding fathers in favor of turning the government over to a ruling class while turning our backs on each other and the principles our ancestors fought for. We are under assault by small, but powerful and wealthy groups that intend to exploit the government’s power for their own personal gain. We see it time and time again from large corporations, environmentalists, union leaders, entertainers and career politicians who very persuasively pursue their agendas in the name of democracy, while leaving the rest us to fend for ourselves and pay for their gains. As our nation’s debt now exceeds the country’s Gross National Product and stands at $15.4 trillion, soon Congress will be forced to have yet another vote to raise the debt ceiling, why are we not demanding more accountability from our
elected officials and those who lobby the influential few? Instead we fall in line and believe that our elected officials Dan Alexander have our best inThoughts from terests at heart. Behind the Pressline The figures contained in a new book called “The Rise of the President’s Permanent Campaign,” by Brendan J. Doherty, provide statistical backing to the notion that President Obama is more preoccupied with being re-elected than with solving the nation’s economic woes. Doherty, who has compiled statistics about presidential travel and fundraising going back to President Jimmy Carter in 1977, found that President Obama had already held 104 re-election fundraisers by March 6. A combined 94 events were held in the same timeframe by presidents Carter, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Clinton, and George W. Bush. Since then, the President has held another 20 fundraisers, bringing his total to 124 high-priced, lavish events. Carter held four re-election fundraisers during the 1980 campaign, Reagan had zero in 1984, Bush 19 in 1992, Clinton 14 in 1996, and Bush 57 in 2004. The Supreme Court’s ruling this past summer allowing for the creation of super PACs ( Political Action Committees) with unlimited fundraising capacity makes it clear that we the people are but simple pawns in the battle between the left and the right, the powerful and the super-rich who, day by day, are taking control of the country. Our founding fathers created a government controlled by the people, with citizen legislators. All we need do to is take a honest look around. Ask yourself: Do you feel in charge? Have you seen the government working for your best interest, securing the future for your children, insuring your rights as a citizen, or providing you with the freedom to secure your own? I am very worried about the future and what I see happening on both sides of the aisle. I sincerely hope we all see what’s happening and are brave enough and selfless enough to demand a return to a government of the people and for the people.

100 years Ago - May 1912 Murder motive never found George Quick, 29, a farmer who was serving a term of not less than 20 years in Clinton Prison, Dannemora, for killing his 25year-old wife near King’s Station, about 6 miles north of Saratoga Springs on Sept. 4, 1911, died of tuberculosis in prison on Wednesday morning, May 1, 1912. Quick was tried on the charge of murder in the first degree on Dec. 16, 1911 before a special term of the Supreme Court at Ballston over which ex-Justice Joseph A. Kellogg of Glens Falls presided. Quick was found guilty of murder in the second degree. When he was sentenced to Clinton Prison he was in very ill health and it was thought he would not live to serve his term. Soon after he was removed to Dannemora the murderer wrote to his attorney that he was well cared for and that he had a clean place to sleep and plenty to eat, two essentials of life which he had never had before, he said. He declared that his life in prison was more pleasant than the one he had led outside the prison walls. Note…The full details of this strange case appeared in this column in the Sept.17, 2011 issue of the Adirondack Journal. There was obviously a dark secret behind the murder that I have never been able to discover by perusing old newspapers. Quick lived in poverty with his wife, who was said to have been beautiful, in a rundown hovel. The day of her murder he had borrowed a shotgun from his next door neighbor and than drove his wife to the cemetery to visit the grave of their infant son. When they returned home he shot her in the back, blowing a big hole between her shoulder blades which punctured her left lungs. He than dumped her in the woodshed where she died of shock and hemorrhage. At trial it was brought out that he had not been drinking the day of the murder.

When the shocked neighbor asked Quick why he had done it, he replied “You will know later!” He was taken to the Warren County Jail in Lake George where he refused to talk about it any further and the full story, to my knowledge, never came out. At trial his lawyer submitted a plea of insanity. Quick was dying of consumption (pulmonary tuberculosis), which was very common in those days and he was sent away to Clinton Prison where he lived in a cell and also in a comfortable place in his own mind where no one else was allowed to enter. His jailors were kind and treated him well. George Quick took his secrets to the grave with him and his pitiful story passed off into Adirondack lore.
Lively blaze burns bridge The Hudson Valley Railway Company’s bridge across the Schroon River, at the south end of Warrensburgh, narrowly escaped destruction by fire on Sunday night, May 12, 1912. The 10 p.m. southbound car had some trouble with its motor and stopped on the north end of the bridge for quite some time, throwing a shower of sparks on the ties. Soon after the car passed along Miss Mary Davis, from her home nearby, saw a bright light on the bridge. Her curiosity was excited and she informed her father, Charles Davis who at once investigated. He found a lively blaze, fanned by a strong wind, rapidly eating into the ties. With the assistance of a neighbor and several pails of water, he extinguished the fire which in a short time would probably have been beyond control. Miss Davis states that the bridge has caught fire in the same way several times before and it seems probable that it may again. Some morning the company might just find themselves minus a bridge. (Note…Charles Davis and his family lived in the big farmhouse still standing on the south end of the trailer park at 1 Main St. It is today owned by Roger Shaw.)
School submits report A total of teacher ’s wages from July 1, 1912 to July 1, 1913 are estimated to be $6,659 for the year. Fuel and janitor ’s services combined are $1,450. The balance left in the school fund as of May 2, 1912 is $1,399.71. Total disbursements for the past year were $12,358.03. A new heating plant will be placed in the Warrensburgh High School building this year to save excessive coal bills. The old furnaces ate up a staggering $832 worth of coal last winter and trustees are bound to end such wasteful and excessive extravagance such as this which is a shameful imposition on taxpayers. The cost of the new furnace is not to exceed $3,000 and will be paid for in installments over three years. The several small furnaces which consume this enormous quantity of fuel were installed thirteen years ago and may now be considered antiquated.
New boat plies Lake George “Mountaineer” is the name selected for the new motor boat to be placed on Lake George this season for the accommodation of patrons who desire to make short trips along the lake shore. The boat was built this past winter and will have accommodations for between fifty and sixty passengers. A steamer by the same name was on Lake George waters in 1824. The name was selected by President L.F. Loree of the Delaware and Hudson Company.
News roundabout Helen Keller, the famous deaf and blind girl, who despite her handicap went through Radcliffe College in four years winning an A.B. degree and has attained no little fame as an author, will soon become a resident of Schenectady. Chestnuts probably will not be found in this area after 1916, according to the State College of Agriculture. The trees in the Hudson Valley as far north as Lake George at
least have been ravished by what is known as the Chestnut Bark Disease and it is the opinion of experts that little or nothing can be done to save them. In 1904, the disease was first discovered. John Gould, a Whitehall young man, committed suicide by jumping from a bridge into the barge canal at that place at 1 o’clock Saturday afternoon, May 11, 1912 and about 100 persons witnessed the act. The distance to the water was thirty feet and the man sank for the last time before anyone could reach him. The motive is unknown.
Sweet and sour notes We have ceased to worry about the predicted coal famine. It is getting warm enough now so that we can let our parlor fires and furnaces go out for a while. James McPhillips, attorney, while journeying to Glens Falls from Friend’s Lake, sustained a painful injury in attempting to crank the automobile in which he was riding. A small bone in the wrist of his right arm was broken. The Honorable L. W. Emerson has purchased a magnificent seven-passenger Mora automobile. Mrs. Emerson and her chauffeur, Jesse Stone, bought the car from Syracuse, arriving in Warrensburgh Thursday morning, May 9, 1912. It is one of the handsomest and largest touring cars in this vicinity. (Note…Banker Louis W. Emerson was married to widow Ella Fuller Thomas whose family, the Fullers, once owned a historic boarding house in the early days on the corner of Main and Water streets, where later the old Warren Inn used to stand before it burned.) Looking back in history — It was just 22 years ago, May 6, 1890 that veteran river driver of 42 years, Russell Carpenter, 60, of Warrensburgh, went down in his boat in a log jam 6 miles above North River. His last words were, “I guess I am gone, boys!” Fourteen months later his foot, encased in a river driving shoe, was found three miles below Thurman Station. It was buried on the John Gillingham farm near there. Readers are welcome to contact Adirondack Journal correspondent Jean Hadden at jhadden1@nycap.rr.com or 623-2210.
Letters to the Editor School cutbacks should be justified To the Adirondack Journal: Your Viewpoint column of April 21 in support of "our traditional core values," refers to "recognizing honest differing opinions and a sense of fairness." The April 28 issue of the Adirondack Journal contains a full-page story titled "Locals rally at Capitol to protest state mandates," in which a school board member says "by merely repealing a few key laws, school districts would have millions of dollars more annually to spend on providing a quality education." The laws summarized as suitable for repeal relate to teachers' bargaining rights, wages for workers on school construction, restrictions on purchases of materials and equipment, special education procedures, and payments to teachers during protracted contract negotiations. Page 18 of the same issue carries a story headed "Lake George Central School stays within tax cap," in which a superintendent and two business managers speak highly of the cooperation of teachers and school staffs (one business manager: "I went to each of the bargaining units...and asked if they would have an interest in making some concessions to help us lower our tax rate and that staff association willingly did so," the school superintendent said. The same administrator lists positions to be eliminated in that school district as a high school math teacher, a remedial reading teacher, two special education teachers, and two teaching assistants, together with reductions in spending on supplies, a hold on classroom equipment purchases, elimination of a custodian position, and a bus run and driver.
In light of your reference to "honest differing opinions and a sense of fairness," I look forward to reading similarly extended coverage of the experience of teachers and school staff on this topic. I am a taxpayer and I value education, but I am not a school official or board member, nor am I or teacher. So, along with other readers, I would be fascinated to learn in the Adirondack Journal from those who can speak to the specifics of what quality education may be achieved, with the extra millions of dollars available annually, through the elimination of teachers, school staffs, and services; also how the resulting reductions in personal tax payments and local spending on groceries, etc., will benefit the community. Sincerely, Alfred Hyslop Chestertown
Many motorcycles are far too loud To the Adirondack Journal: Well, here we go again. Warm weather brings out a fair amount of ear-shattering, ground-shaking, fire-breathing, two-wheeled mechanized beasts known as motorcycles. Many of these have inadequate, little, or nonexistent mufflers. Note to local law enforcement officers: I’m willing to bet lunch that if my mode of conveyance was as loud and raucous as some of these motorcycles, a traffic ticket would be in the offing. Selective enforcement? Note to motorcycle riders: Is it really necessary to “burp” the throttle when trying to downshift? Is it really necessary to “burp” the throttle while sitting idle at a corner or red light? What, did you think the en-
gine would stall if you didn’t twist the throttle, or do you just like to draw attention to yourself and ruin your hearing? Is it really necessary to wind up the engine to red line before shifting to produce the maximum amount of noise? Most of these motorcycles come from the factory with more than adequate mufflers, not unbaffled pipes directly off the exhaust manifold. Such motorcycles disturb the relative peace and tranquility, not to mention causing permanent hearing loss to not only the rider, but harm to the hearing of innocent citizens nearby. J.P. Gitto Lake George
A good investment for your dollar To the Adirondack Journal: For a very small cost per capita the Richards Library addition can be completed and the library’s future can be secured. If the measure going before voters passes, the library will double in size and be made handicap accessible. The library is one of the most valuable resources in the community and the surrounding area: Books, videos and an array of programs are available, along with computer stations and access to the internet. A new feature provided by an addition will be a meeting room available for community functions and gatherings. Vote yes on May 15 to support your library and watch its services expand. Future generations will thank you for you wise investment. Roderic K. Kenyon Former president of Richards Library
Lake George Central teachers’ contract settled LAKE GEORGE — Local taxpayers are poised to save more than $500,000 in salaries and benefits due to the settlement this week of work contracts with school faculty and staffers, the school district administration has reported. The savings reflects avoided costs over the next three years. School administrators characterized the contract as containing “substantial concessions” by the teachers’ union, especially those relating to health insurance. The agreement, effective through June 2014, includes the following provisions: For the present school year, teachers have received only “step” salary increases. There will be no additional pay raise. Teachers had already given back $32,000 in professional growth money. For the 2012-13 school year, teachers will take a six-month salary freeze on step increases. During the second half of the year, teachers will move up a step on the new
schedule. Changing the teacher health insurance contributions was a heavily negotiated item that will benefit the district for years to come, Superintendent of Schools Patrick Dee said. The teachers’ contributions will change from a set sum of $1,050 per year to a 12 percent contribution rate for Preferred Provider plans and a 15 percent contribution rate for Matrix plans. Some teachers will be able to sell back accrued sick time at the substitute teacher daily rate to offset initial premium increases. This is a one-year option for younger staffers who are most heavily impacted by this change. This cost to the district is offset by savings on future substitute teacher per diem pay, Dee said. In addition, the teachers have waived their professional growth money a second year in a row, saving an additional $32,000. Health plan premiums of teaching assis-
tants and nurses will change from a flat dollar contribution of $230 per year to 3 percent of the premium, in most cases more than doubling their contribution. They will move up a salary step, and their salary schedule has been adjusted to bring it in line with Staff Association starting salaries. For the 2013-14 school year, teachers will take a full-year step freeze. The salary schedule is increased by $150 at each step. This step loss for teachers will equate to real and continued savings for the district for years to come, Dee said. Teaching assistant and nurse health plan contributions will increase to either percent of the premium if the premium increase is 10 percent or less, or 3.5 percent of the premium if the increase is greater than 10 percent. They will have normal step movement, and the step schedule has been increased by $200 at each step. The changes were made with the teachers
waiving the provisions of state law which grants them step raises while contracts are under extended negotiations. “Ratification of this contract by our members recognizes our responsibility to help contribute to the school community during a difficult economic time. We wanted to do what is right to protect programs that serve children, allow the district to construct a stable and predictable financial future, yet maintain a basic fairness for our members,” said lead teachers’ union negotiator Tony Cocca. Dee praised the teachers and staff for their concessions, noting that their health care premium payments will more than double. “This illustrates the dedication of our teaching staff to the preserving of programs for our students,” he said, adding he is proud that their contribution will help the district continue to provide a high quality education.

Help the library: vote on Tuesday On May 15, residents of the Hadley-Luzerne Central School District will vote for the annual school budget. On the ballot will be an item authorizing an increase in the district's annual contribution to the Stony Creek Free Library from $5,000 to $6,500 — a modest increase considering all the programs the library offers. The library serves not just Stony Creek but the entire school district, with offerings that range from books, vari-
Baby born to Keller couple A daughter was born April 13, 2012 at Glens Falls Hospital to Jessica and Kristian Keller of Ballston Spa. She weighed 4 pounds 12.1 ounces and was 18 inches long.

News from town hall The Thurman Assessors have set the following dates for taxpayers to come in check out their assessments: Saturday, May 12 from 4 to 8 p.m., and May 15 through 17 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The office is now in the town hall and the phone number is 623-4593. The Thurman Town Board meets at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 8 — and concerns, opinions and suggestions are always welcome. With three members of the town board present at the March meeting, only a few resolutions were passed. Derrick Conine was re-appointed to the Board of Assessment Review, and a resolution was passed to offer free recycling of electronic equipment for Thurman residents. The board also voted to contribute $500 to the Warren County Youth Court and $500 to the Warren County Bicentennial Committee. Both donations are from the town’s share of county occupancy tax funds.
Townwide Sale coming soon Thurman’s annual Townwide Sale is approaching, and residents have the opportunity to save a lot of their own labor by foregoing manning their own private sale, while helping out a vital community group. People are encouraged to donate saleable items that they
ous media and reference materials, but also many vital services. The library’s children's programs alone include the Summer Reading Program and the Dirty Dozen Garden Club plus free tutoring. For adults, teens and children — the entire community — the library offers numerous lectures, concerts, and presentations. The important financial support the school district provides has not been increased in nine years, while expenses have risen considerably at the same time that library usage has grown tremendously. The additional $1,500 would average out to 22 cents per parcel throughout the district. When area residents vote for the school budget on May 15, consider that a “Yes” for the library is a “Yes” for our community!

National Nurses Week May 6-12 By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com
WARRENSBURG — What exactly does a nurse do? “We do it all,” said Donna Gorton, director of nursing for the Hudson Headwaters Health Network. “There’s never a dull day when you’re a nurse. We play an ever-evolving role in the lives of our patients, from new borns to end-of-life care. We do primary care, offer specialty services, we’re educators. We do it all.” Gorton, a Ticonderoga resident, oversees a staff of 145 nurses at Hudson Headwater clinics in Ticonderoga, Moriah, Schroon Lake, Moreau, Fort Edward, Queensbury, Glens Falls, West Mountain, North Creek, Indian Lake, Chester, Bolton and Warrensburg. HHHN nurses also service the Warren County Correctional Center and staff a care management team. “We play a very active role in the care of patients,” Gorton said. “We kind of make up the pulse of the health cen-
ter. We’re the liaisons with the medical staff, the front office staff and the patients. We play a lot of roles.” Nursing is a growing and changing field, said Gorton, who has been a nurse since 1977. Opportunities and responsibilities are ever growing, she said. “We focus not just on taking care of patients who are sick, but play an integral role in prevention,” Gorton said. “We make sure certain people are up to date on important tests — things like colonoscopies and mammograms — we make certain children have the proper immunizations. We help in any way we can.” Gorton has been Hudson Headwaters director of nursing for 10 years. “I acknowledge the nurses at Hudson Headwaters and in all other facilities,” Gorton said. “I appreciate everything they do. They work very hard, every day.” Nurses will be recognized for their efforts May 6-12 during National Nurses Week. May 12 is the birthday of Florence Nightingale, who became widely known as a nurse in 1860s.
Since 1994, May 6-12 has been celebrated as National Nurses Week. Beginning with National Nurses Day on May 6, the week is an opportunity to recognize nurses for their contributions to improving health, as both clinicians in a wide range of care settings and leaders who have a significant impact on the quality of care and effectiveness of the health care system. Nursing is at the forefront of efforts to broaden access to care and transform the U.S. health care system from one designed to deliver “sick care” to one more focused on prevention and wellness. Nursing is the nation’s largest health care profession with 3 million nurses and is growing. Nursing is projected to grow faster than all other occupations. More than 700,000 new RN jobs are anticipated by 2020, a 26 percent increase, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Paul Bubar is North Warren Person of the Year
Wells House, Pottersville, an example of Paul Bubar’s good work
By Katherine Clark
katherine@denpubs.com NORTH WARREN — The North Warren Chamber of Commerce will be honoring Pottersville resident Paul Bubar as its 2012 Person of the Year during the May 9 VIP Dinner. The event will be held at the Green Mansions Golf Club, 207 Darrowsville Road, Chestertown. The North Warren Chamber of Commerce VIP Committee Chairperson Barbara Repp said they chose Bubar as their VIP because of his concern for Pottersville and his dedication to its restoration. “It’s a great honor to be chosen for this award,” Bubar said. “We enjoy this town, and we wanted to do something to make it look like a nicer place.” Bubar ’s projects include renovating the Wells House on Olmstedville Road. Built in 1845, it once housed Pot-
tersville’s post office. Bubar and his wife Shirley also renovated a 19th century two-story frame house where they live today. “The buildings we worked on downtown are the navel of the community, and the buildings were in crumbles, especially the Wells House,” Bubar said. “So my wife, the smart one, designed the renovations and I put it together.” Repp said the committee is recognizing Bubar because of his great efforts in community beautification, plus his work at Word of Life Ministries, which has its Bible Institute offices in Pottersville. Bubar is the assistant to the director of Word of Life and has been with the organization for 53 years. While working with WOL, Bubar has traveled around the world. His book, “Not by Chance: The True Story of Word of Life's First Missionary Efforts in Communist Hungary” describes the group’s efforts in a communist country. Bubar said he tried to retire once, and the request was denied.
Congratulations Paul, Helena and Bruce!
Congratulations Bruce, Helena & Paul!
“There’s so much to do, and I am happy to do it,” he said. Bubar received his B.A. and Th.B. at Barrington College and most recently an honorary doctor degree from Tennessee Temple University. After growing up in Maine, Bubar has spent the last few decades traveling to Eastern Europe, doing work for Word of Life in Hungary, Poland and Romania. He recently spent time in China, Maine and Houston, Texas for Word of Life. Bubar said he appreciates the recognition and hopes the community enjoys the work he has done on the buildings. “We worked long days, but we enjoyed it,“ Bubar said. “We want to make Pottersville a nicer place, make it a great place for the great people who live there.”

Main Street Ice Cream Parlor to be honored CHESTERTOWN — Delicious deli sandwiches, home-made soups and chili, and hardy ice cream sundaes all helped to make the Main Street Ice Cream Parlor & Restaurant North Warren’s choice for Small Business of the Year for 2012. Operated by Bruce and Helena Robbins, the Ice Cream Parlor is a favorite lunch stop for tourists as well as residents. Many who eat there no doubt experience nostalgia for a bygone era when T.J. Fish & Sons and Janser ’s Pharmacy served ice cream. Touches of history are scattered throughout, from old photographs to vintage signage and wagons. The business 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. The Main Street Ice Cream Parlor is a family-owned business established in June 1990 by Bruce and Suzanne Robbins. The dream of opening an old fashioned soda fountain occurred shortly after opening up a Bed & Breakfast, “The Chester Inn.” Yet, the Robbins still felt there was something missing. They knew the town needed more fun places for the locals and tourists to enjoy. They decided to open a restaurant reminiscent of the 1940s which Chestertown had grown so fond of for generations at Janser ’s pharmacy and TJ Fish & Sons. Bruce Jr. — having recently graduated with a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management from Paul Smith’s College — was eager to join his parents in the creation of the Main Street Ice Cream Parlor. Daughter Kimberly, having recently
Main Street Ice Cream Parlor
Helena and Bruce Robbins moved to the area, was also asked to be a part of the business working along side the rest of the family. After years of success, Bruce and Suzanne decided to entrust the business to their son Bruce Jr. and his wife Helena. In 2005, Bruce and Helena purchased the historic Chester Town Hall. Built in 1913, the building originally served as a high school for the Town of Chester up until 1934 when a new brick school was built just down the street. The building was then sold and rented out to a glove factory during the 1940s. Then in the
mid 1950s it was purchased to house antiques, but was soon turned over to the county due to non-payment of taxes. The Town of Chester purchased the building turning it into a Town Hall in 1960. In 2001 the Chester Town Hall moved into the North Warren High School building, and the historic building sat vacant until 2004. Then Bruce and Helena Robbins opened their shop here.

They were biting this morning ... The annual blood drive is on its way
D
espite the early arrival of the spring season, there really hasn’t been much of a problem with skeeters or black flies to date. Although I have discovered a few of the notorious “flying teeth” orbiting my noggin in recent weeks, they have yet to draw my blood. However, I’m certain I’ll be obliged to provide a donation or two before the annual blood drive is over. However, despite the current absence of flying pests, it is no time to forget the annual warning about ticks, and the growing prevalence of Lyme disease in our region. At one time Lyme disease was considered a “downstate problem,” since incidents occurred primarily in the lower reaches of New York and in Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Many claimed it wasn’t a local problem. Lyme disease was rare in the Park, and in comparison to areas downstate it remains so. Make no mistake, though: Lyme disease has been prevalent in the Adirondacks for quite a while, and it is likely to get much worse in the future. According to the New York State Department of Health, bacteria transmitted by deer ticks causes Lyme disease. The animals most responsible for spreading the ticks that host the disease are the white-footed mouse and the white-tailed deer. Lyme disease is an equal opportunity affliction that hits people of any age who spend time in grassy or wooded environments. Young deer ticks are generally most active between mid-May and mid-August. Adult ticks are generally most active from March to mid-May and again from midAugust to November. Turkey hunters, who often sit for long hours along the edge of a field during the spring, are particularly susceptible due to the nature of their pursuit. So are deer hunters, who hunt in the fall, when adult ticks are again most active. Hikers, birders, and anyone else who spends time outdoors, recreating, raking leaves or enjoying a backyard BBQ need to be cognizant of the risks of Lyme. Ticks present a real and imminent threat, and Lyme disease symptoms can persist for years, and often result in lifelong suffering and disability. Flying insects such as blackflies, mosquitoes and deer flies are obvious pests. We can see them or hear them buzzing around our head or neck, and as a result, it is fairly easy to protect against them. We can swat them, spray them or even wear a head net in extreme conditions. However, ticks are more difficult to repel than mosquitoes or blackflies. They are tiny, about the size of a poppy seed, and we rarely see them or feel them. Ticks do not have a piercing bite, and they rarely draw blood. Unlike flying pests, ticks don’t target the head and neck. Rather, they often attach and attack around the ankles, or legs, where they are picked up from the tall grass. Repellents provide some protection against ticks, as does wearing light-colored, long-sleeved shirts and long pants tucked into socks. However, even the best of efforts cannot always keep ticks away. Outdoor travelers are advised to examine their clothing carefully after every woodland jaunt and to remove any ticks before they can attach themselves.
In most cases tick attachment takes 36 hours or longer, which provides plenty of time to take preventive measures. If you discover that a tick has embedded itself, it is wise to seek medical attention as soon as possible since early treatment with antibiotics almost always results in a full cure. The first apparent symptom of a tick bite is a rash resembling a bullseye that is about two inches in diameter near the site of the bite. Early symptoms normally occur within three to 30 days after the bite of an infected tick, but don’t always. The early stage of Lyme disease features symptoms such as chills and fever, headache, fatigue, stiff neck muscles and/or joint pain and swollen glands. If not detected and treated in these early stages these symptoms can worsen and more severe symptoms can manifest themselves. Lyme disease can become a debilitating ailment, and the odds of a full recovery decrease the longer treatment is delayed. Lyme disease treatments have become more effective, but if undetected or allowed to progress the disease can cause severe and long-lasting effects. For those who live in Lyme-prone regions, there is now an anti-Lyme disease inoculation, which is surely a wise investment. Although hunters and hikers are certainly more susceptible to tick attacks, anyone can be bitten while taking out the garbage, mowing the lawn or walking to the mailbox. You can run, but ticks will always find a place to hide. According to state health officials, the geographic range of Lyme disease has increased in New York State from Long Island and the lower Hudson Valley all the way north to the Canadian border. In less than a decade, the Essex County Health Department has seen the incidence of Lyme disease increase from single case in 2002, to over forty confirmed cases in 2008.

t’s Monday morning as I write this and all I can think about is that old Labatt Blue commercial of the fish on the phone with the guy at his office. “Real good Steve — real good,” the fish says. “We were biting this morning, we were biting this morning.” They probably are, too. Fishing is a bit like buying scratch-off tickets: The more committed you are, the better the odds. So I figure the odds gotta start turning my way. The weekend went like this: several ponds, nine miles of portage, cold mornings, lots of wind and they weren’t exactly jumping in the boat. I did manage to save my handicap with an early afternoon feed on Sunday — seems the trout sometimes decide to Quill Gordon get hungry on these chilly spring days just as the sun gets high. But I had nothing worth bragging about. The pond I was on routinely produces 14, 15-inch fish. These were more like 10 — no doubt last year ’s stockeys. It’s been an odd start this year. It feels like the ponds are a week to 10 days ahead because of the unseasonably warm Hendrickson weather we’ve had. I marked surface temps last week at around 54-56 degrees and saw my first caddis fly yesterday. Normally mayflies like subvaria (Hendrickson) or pleuris (Quill Gordon) beat the caddis fly to the surface. The old adage was always 50-55 degree water for the Quill Gordon, followed closely by the Hendrickson, then Caddis Pupa caddis. This time of year I’m more apt to try something like a caddis pupa wet fly or black stonefly behind a lure, since they are either still in the larvae stage or are just beginning to emerge to the pupa stage — a time trout relish, as well as when they are floundering on the surBlack Stonefly face as adults. I found lots of dark black larvae in the bellies of the fish I did catch — confirming my suspicion that they are bottom feeding on these soon-to-be hatches — and my fishing chum found a salamander or two. I’ll keep you updated as things progress. John Gereau is managing editor of Denton Publications and an avid outdoorsman. He may be reached at johng@denpubs.com

To save senior mealsites, town chiefs pledge cash, labor By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — Northern Warren County town officials are poised to pledge local contributions of money and labor towards their town senior mealsites — in order to save their luncheon program from the budget axe, county Office for the Aging Director Christie Sabo told county officials April 30. County Administrator Paul Dusek and Budget Officer Kevin Geraghty recently toured the upcounty mealsites — located in Chester, Warrensburg, Bolton, Johnsburg and Lake Luzerne — and the supervisors of those towns suggested ways that expenses could be cut, Sabo said. Such cost savings amounted to $39,620, she said. In Chester, town supervisor Fred Monroe offered to forgo the county’s annual lease payment, and mealsite manager Linda Lewis offered to set mousetraps herself rather than hire a pest control service, Sabo reported. Also offered was a subsidy on fuel payments and cost of cooking oil. The site in Chestertown serves seniors from both Chester and Horicon. In Bolton, town officials offered to take over paying for trash removal and snow plowing — an annual savings of $1,140, and pay for snowplowing, which can amount to $1,000 to $1,400 per year, Sabo said. In Warrensburg, a pending move of the mealsite from the First United Methodist Church to Countryside Adult Home will save $12,800 per year in lease payments, and other savings due to consolidation of kitchen operations and food procurement, Sabo said — and this figure doesn’t reflect potential savings of staff consolidation. The site serves seniors in Warrensburg, Lake George and Thurman. In Luzerne, Supervisor Gene Merlino suggested that one county-funded staff position could be cut, reflecting a savings of $18,000, Sabo reported. According to Merlino's offer, a town worker could help out at the mealsite during instances of peak attendance, Sabo said. In Johnsburg, town supervisor Ron Vanselow noted that those attending the lunch meal in his town contribute substantially more toward their meal than the county average, Sabo said. Vanselow said this week his town already is providing their senior center at no charge, while the county is paying a portion of the utilities. He added that Johnsburg also has been paying for plowing and building maintenance. If necessary, the town could pick up more of the utility ex-
from page 1 Countryside, which is located several miles north. The Health Department’s new stance paves the way for the relocation to go forward, county officials said May 1. The TB test, which involves a skin piercing and a three-day waiting period, had prompted dismay among both county officials and the seniors who at tend the mealsite. Ruth Near of Thurman, a regular at the Warrensburg mealsite, said April 30 that the TB test, which seniors would have to pay for, was not reasonable. “It doesn’t make sense to require us to have this test, while visitors to Countryside don’t have to have it,” she said. Sylvia Brown, a frequent visitor to Countryside and a mealsite regular, also decried the requirement. “This is crazy — it doesn’t make sense,” she said. “We’re safer than many of the people who go up to Countryside to visit. People can catch all types of infections in the grocery store, their local health center, doctor ’s office, or just out in public.” Health Department spokesman Peter Constantakes said Friday that such objections of Warren County officials and seniors made sense. Health Department officials, he said, will be working with county representatives to set up less burdensome but more comprehensive health safeguards than the TB test. The present concept under discussion by state officials is for all mealsite attendees to be checked for external signs of contagious res-
piratory diseases or flu-like symptoms as they enter Countryside, he said. Those who come to the mealsite and exhibit such symptoms will be encouraged to return after they recover, he said. “We’re trying to protect the Countryside residents from communicable diseases that could place their health in jeopardy,” he said.

penses, or the costs of kitchen equipment repairs, he said. Such additional contribution could be as high as $5,000, he said. During the budget-crafting process last year, county officials had first sought to close down a number of the mealsites, then later proposed to keep the luncheon program but prepare all food in a central kitchen and deliver the meals to the satellite mealsites. This latter plan was expected to save the county taxpayers about $125,000 annually of the meal program’s budget of
about $542,000. The cost-cutting kitchen consolidation plan was scrapped after seniors and town officials aired objections. They said that if food were prepared elsewhere, and the staff were downsized, such cuts would radically alter the social experience which is one of the primary reasons for the program. The senior meals program, which includes meals delivered to housebound seniors, costs the county about $540,000 annually.
Constantakes said Health Department officials were now finalizing guidelines of how Countryside staff could monitor mealsite patrons’ overt health symptoms. “We’ll be working together with the county to come up with an agreeable plan,” Constantakes said. “We’re trying to resolve this issue in everybody’s best interests.” Warren County Adminis-
praising the agency’s responsiveness. “This is a very important issue for us, as the location change is important in controlling costs.” The move of the mealsite has been prompted by the potential savings of $12,500 or more annually in lease and utility payments, as well as savings in food procurement and kitchen operations.
trator Paul Dusek said late afternoon May 1 that he was very pleased with the Health Department making accommodations so the Warrensburg mealsite move could go ahead. “This is great — it sounds like a common-sense solution, and the Health Department is demonstrating cooperation with local government that we need,” he said,
Town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty, who serves as the county’s Budget Officer, also praised the agency’s change in plans. “We’re thankful the DOH has reconsidered their position — and we can now move forward with relocating the mealsite at Countryside,” he said.

Bernie Russell of Bolton serenades folks attending a senior mealsite luncheon in Warrensburg. The county-sponsored mealsites in northern Warren County provide a vital opportunity for seniors to socialize, as well as make sure they have a nutritious, appetizing meal. Facing a potential downsizing of the mealsite program due to a county budget squeeze, town officials are now figuring out ways of contributing more towards their mealsites.

Fake pot from page 1 students in grades 5 through 9 are using it. Dexter added that students have ended up arrested, home on suspension, or in emergency centers as a result of the drugs. “Students use the drug, and their bodies are not returning to normal,” he said, noting the lingering effects. Warren County District Attorney Kate Hogan said the drugs have prompted serious crimes, and their use has spiraled in all age groups. “Case after case, we see otherwise non-violent people committing horrific acts, such as the 18-year-old who stabbed his mother repeatedly,” she said. Hogan also noted that in another case, Richard A. “Psycho” Velazquez slammed a woman’s face into a mirror, choked her and dragged her down a flight of stairs as she held her infant child — after he smoked synthetic marijuana. Velazquez blamed the substance as prompting the vicious assault. Just last week, he was sentenced to 10 years in jail. Little introduced the bill in March, as Warren County — impatient with the state legislative process — drafted its own law criminalizing synthetic marijuana. That county law is expected to be passed after a public hearing set for May 18. While state legislators were tackling the drug issue Monday April 30 in Albany, high school students in Essex County held a rally at the county Government Center in Elizabethtown in support of a local ban. Pupils from Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School joined students from Westport, Willsboro, Schroon Lake, Keene, Moriah, Crown Point and Ticonderoga schools in the mass rally. Betty Little said April 30 that she first heard of the threat of synthetic marijuana
State Sen. Betty Little talks of the dangers associated with synthetic marijuana and so-called ‘bath salts’ during an April 30 press conference held hours before the state Senate passed a measure banning the substances. State legislators and others backing up Little in her crusade are (left to right) Sen. Patricia Ritchie (RWatertown), Sen. Joe Griffo (R-Rome), Sen. John Flanagan (R-Smithtown), Adirondack regional BOCES Superintendent James Dexter, , Sen. Marty Golden (R-Brooklyn), Warren County District Attorney Kate Hogan, and Assemblyman Michael Cusick (D-Staten Island). last fall from the Glens Falls Police Department. Weeks later, when teenagers personally told her about how it prompted violence, caused seizures, hallucinations and extreme anxiety, she was convinced it should be criminalized. She also heard from Dexter about how it was becoming prevalent in schools, and was causing violent behavior among students who had never before been in trouble.
“Kids have told me this stuff is far worse than marijuana,” she said. “I’m happy the bill had overwhelming support today.” Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) cosponsored the bill with Little. The so-called bath salts, also named in the ban, are chemically related to methamphetamines and ecstasy. Law enforcement and medical officials say that ingesting these substances also cause serious physical and
psychological harm — and have been linked to criminal activity. Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a law to ban the sale of “bath salts” last year, and just last month the state Health Department banned the retail sale and distribution of synthetic marijuana — but possession of these substances, still available over the Internet or outside the state — continues to be legal. Little and others noted that the use of synthetic marijuana and bath salts both pose serious health hazards, some of which are irreversible. Use of the substances have been linked to convulsions, heart attacks, and kidney failure. The Senate bill, which criminalizes possession and use as well as sale, has garnered the support of Assemblyman Mike Cusick (D-Staten Island), who is sponsoring the bill in the state Assembly. Little’s legislative aide Dan MacEntee predicted that approval of the Senate bill in the Assembly — or a compromise measure — was gaining ground due to the rising awareness among legislators of the drugs’ effects. “Legislators are concerned about the health and safety of people, particularly teens,” he said. “These are dangerous drugs, and legislators want to prevent something horrific — This is a common-sense, non-partisan issue.” The senate measure criminalizing synthetic marijuana and bath salts imposes penalties similar to the state’s marijuana laws. While possession is a violation, distribution or sale is generally a misdemeanor. Sale to a minor or near a school would be a felony, prompting a prison sentence of up to 25 years. The proposed law also allows people to voluntary turn over any of these substances, for the first 90 days the law is in effect, without any consequences.
Local students attend Future Business Leaders of America conference LAKE GEORGE — The Lake George Chapter of Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) attended the 48th Annual NYS FBLA State Leadership Conference in Rochester from April 18-20.
