ON THE TRAIL

Westmount sale reversed, negotiations to proceed

This Week LAKE GEORGE

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com

GLENS FALLS Ñ Warren County supervisors voted May 7 to move forward with the sale of county-owned Westmount nursing home to Specialty Care Group, overturning a decision just several weeks ago to suspend the pending deal.

Twenty supervisors voted for the measure Ñ including Queensbury Supervisor John Strough and Glens Falls Ward 1 Supervisor James Brock, who previously voted against it. Two others county supervisors, Rachel Seeber of Queensbury and Dan Girard of Glens Falls, who had not been present for the April 18 decision, also voted May 7 to move forward on the proposed sale.

Prior to the WednesdayÕ s vote, Queensbury Mark Westcott gave a presentation on why the sale should be postponed if not scuttled. He and two other supervisors, Doug Beaty of Queensbury and Peter McDevitt of Glens Falls, had held a public meeting last week detailing their opposition to proceeding with the pending sale and its proposed terms.

Reasons presented were that the nursing homeÕ s money-losing cogeneration plant was complicating the transaction, the proposed sale price was too low, CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

Due to the provisions of the stateÕ s complex tax-cap formula, the budget exceeds the tax cap although North WarrenÕ s tax levy for 2014-15 only reflects a 1.6 percent increase over 2013-14. To not exceed the tax cap, North WarrenÕ s proposed 2014-15 tax levy would have had to reflect a zero percent tax increase.

Local community farm share program makes new strides

By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

WARRENSBURG Ñ Juniper Hill Farm and the Warrensburgh Beautification Committee are teaming up to offer fresh local food.

In previous years the community supported agriculture program (CSA) was offered to individuals and families as part of the Warren County farmerÕ s market initiative. This year the CSA will be offering this service to restaurants and businesses as well. Ò The price point of locally fresh grown foods reflects the value,” said Teresa Whalen, CSA director. Ò Consumers are becoming very educated (about their food choices) and restaurants need to keep up and more aggressively source.

The CSA gives them a way of doing it, that is simple and accessible,” said Whalen.

Glens Falls Ward 5 Supervisor Bill Kenny (rear) conducts a Warren County committee meeting in late 2013 to determine occupancy tax awards. County leaders are now considering video-recording county committee meetings to allow the public to witness the governmental decision-making process as well as keeping all county supervisors fully informed. Committee members involved in the meeting are (foreground, left to right): Hague Supervisor Edna Frasier, Lake George Supervisor Dennis Dickinson, and (right) long-time Horicon Supervisor Ralph Bentley, who retired from the position in December.

Continued from page 1 that a competing offer wasnÕ t thoroughly considered, and that Specialty Care hadnÕ t presented plans developing a health-care campus as the county leaders had suggested.

There were also concerns that Specialty Care, under the proposed contract, could shutter the nursing home in five years, and that a sale to Specialty Care could compromise an ongoing criminal investigation of Seimens Building Technologies, who are leasing the cogeneration plant to the county. They also said the sale could perhaps void the contract with Seimens, causing greater liability to the county.

Their major criticism, however, was that the sale terms required county taxpayers to guarantee Medicaid reimbursement from the state for cogeneration costs, a provision that could cost the county up to $1.26 million.

Strough said that other county leaders had convinced them that the county would not in fact be “guaranteeing” the Medicaid payments, and that supervisorsÕ input on sale terms would be heeded to protect taxpayersÕ interests.

He and other supervisors casting their vote to proceed with the sale said that with Westmount’s operational deficits ballooning recent-

ly, taxpayers would shoulder a greater burden in delaying the sale than by proceeding, regardless of whether the proposed sale price was the best obtainable. Ò I got assurances from all angles that as we move ahead and construct the contract, all the county’s interests will be protected,” Strough said.

Seeber said that curbing WestmountÕ s mounting financial losses were a key factor in her vote.

“We’re losing $25,665 per week now at Westmount, and as county leaders we have an obligation to recognize this,” she said, adding that she had assurances that supervisors would be helping determine the terms of the sale.

Brock said that he switched his vote because his concerns that the losses attributable to the cogeneration plant might hamper Specialty Care in providing adequate care for nursing home residents were answered by county leaders. He said they provided him with figures that showed the losses werenÕ t as great as feared.

Board of Supervisors chairman Kevin Geraghty said he was pleased with the reversal of the vote, as delays in negotiation could cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars.

“I’m happy we’re able to move ahead now,” he said.

QUEENSBURY Ñ Move over laughing babies, bike-pedaling dogs, Justin Bieber and singing seals Ñ local politicians may soon be replacing you all as new YouTube sensations, at least locally.

Warren County governmental officials are now planning to video-record county committee meetings and posting them on YouTube for public viewing.

But the purpose of the video posts is not necessarily for entertainment, it’s for public edification, county Administrator Paul Dusek said this week.

Much of the countyÕ s preliminary decision-making occurs in the committee meetings, held on various weekday mornings leading up to the monthly full board of supervisors meetings.

Dusek said the video recordings will allow people to witness the committee proceedings at their convenience.

“I think it’s a great idea and will be very beneficial to county officials as well as the general public,” he said, noting that many area citizens are interested in seeing their county government in action, and county supervisors at times have difficulty attending all their meetings. He said video recordings will keep everyone updated.

Wednesday May 7 the county Finance Committee unanimously endorsed allocating $700 for a video camera, microphones and a digital video recorder, to be set up by the countyÕ s Information Technology staff. The vote is subject to approval by the full Board of Supervisors at their monthly meeting Friday May 16.

Dusek said one stationary camera will likely be installed soon on one wall of the committee meeting room, accompanied by microphones hanging from the ceiling.

Recording the full board of supervisors meetings has also been a goal, but that would require more sophisticated installation due to the size of the supervisors board room. Accomplishing this objective might take months, Dusek said.

“This is a work in progress,” he said.

In recent years, a number of citizens have asked for meetings on popular issues to be held evenings. Such a time may be convenient for some people but not so for others, but the videotaping allows people to witness Ñ at any time during the day or night Ñ their government in action, County Board of Supervisors Chairman Kevin Geraghty noted this week.

“The videotaping creates more transparency for the county board of supervisors — so be it,” he said. “I’ve believed in no-nonsense open government for years.”

Continued from page 1 North WarrenÕ s proposed 2014-15 budget calls for expenditures of $12.55 million, a 2.16 percent increase over the present year. The spending plan calls for drawing on $350,000 of fund balance.

Increases in fuel and utility costs, and boosted expenses attributable to employee retirement and special education are responsible for the budget increase, according to figures released by the school board.

Five teachers are to retire at the end of this school year, but only two of them will be replaced, according to a budget memorandum issued by the school administration. There are no reductions in programs, but the district will be postponing some planned technology upgrades. The budget allows for one parttime science position to be increased to full-time to meet new state academic standards.

The ballot will include a proposition to create a new capital reserve fund by transferring $2.1 million from an existing repair reserve fund. The money is to be used to replace a 16-year-old roof and upgrade heating and air conditioning systems at the k-12 school. Establishing this capital reserve fund will not increase taxes, but it will allow access to state grants, according to the administration. The vote is to be held from noon to 8 p.m May 20 in the school atrium.

Residents of the Lake George School District will be voting on a budget that calls for $21.77 million in expenditures, up 2.85 percent from 2013-14, yet is within the allowable limit of the stateÕ s 2 percent tax cap formula. The tax levy $18.25 million reflects a 1.65 percent from 2013-14. The spending plan draws on $400,000 of appropriated reserves and $902,291 of fund balance.

The budget maintains all programs and continues technology enhancement initiatives, according to school officials.

On the ballot will be a proposition for the purchase of one

65-passenger bus at a cost not to exceed $106,400. The purchase will not impact the 2014-15 tax levy, but will cost local taxpayers about $24,000 the following year.

Owners of a 200,000 home with a present tax bill of $1,296 would see it increase in 2014-15 by $21 to $26.

In the Warrensburg School District, the proposed 201415 budget calls for expenditures of $19,797,702, an increase of $657,802, or 3.4 percent from the present year. This translates to an 1.85 percent increase in the tax levy. This is the third consecu-

Although North Warren Central School District’s 2014-15 budget only calls for a 1.6 percent increase in the tax levy, it exceeds the state’s so-called 2 percent tax cap, according to a complex formula.

tive year the districtÕ s budget will have a tax levy increase that is well below the tax cap limit.

The budget specifies that $700,000 is to be drawn from fund balance. Enrollment is stable at 800, but down about 20 percent from 15 to 20 years ago.

A second ballot proposition calls for the lease of three replacement buses. A third proposition provides for establishing a capital reserve fund for replacement of the Warrensburg Elementary School roof and any other related upgrades. The fund is to be initially bankrolled by the transfer of up to $800,000 from unassigned fund balance and drawing on remaining appropriations for upgrading the high school.

Voting is to be held from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. in the Warrensburg High School gymnasium lobby.

The Bolton Central School Board has proposed a 2014-15 budget that provides $8,655,326 in expenditures, an increase of $100,272 or 1.28 percent over 2013-14. The tax levy of $7,079,409 reflects an increase of 0.6 percent. The budget draws $570,000 from reserve funds.

With the retirement of long-time superintendent of schools Ray Ciccarelli, the cost of his position is expected to plunge by about $30,000 Ñ but the total administrative costs are only expected to go down only $8,000, according to district Business Manager Kathleen Dennin. She said that this 2014-15 budget maintains all school district programs.

“Everything is intact,” she said. Voting is to be held from noon to 8 p.m. May 20 in the school gym.

Minimum wage: Where they stand

A

May 17, 2014

fter decades of dormancy, the labor movement seems to be finally stirring. And yet sadly this political awakening seems not to have yet reached the workers of the North Country.

Just in the past year, the Washington city of SeaTac raised itÕ s minimum wage to $15 an hour, and other locales are considering similar measures. Socialist Alternative candidate Kshama Sawant, running as an open opponent of capitalism, won a city-wide election to join the Seattle City Council. Fast food strikes planned across the country and the world for May 15, by which time we will have gone to press, are expected to be the largest in history.

But where is this newfound class-consciousness in upstate New York? ItÕ s not as if weÕ re lacking the requisite ingredients. We can see cavernous wealth disparity all around us. Nearby Franklin is the second poorest county in New York state. In Lake Placid, a supposed winter wonderland, the Cascade Acres trailer park is situated just a few minutes drive from the lavish Mirror Lake Inn. In what is perhaps an indication to which the exploitation of workers is not on our political leaders’ radar, few of the local politicians who we discussed the issue with spoke with confidence regarding the level of government at which the minimum wage for public and private workers could be raised.

Lewis supervisor David Blades said he didnÕ t believe he had the power to raise the minimum wage at the town level, but even if he did, he likely wouldnÕ t support it. ÒI probably would not support a raise, but then again I might.”

Essex County Attorney Daniel Manning said he didnÕ t believe the minimum wage could be adjusted at the town or county level, but he wasnÕ t sure.

“I have no idea,” Manning said. “It’s not anything that’s ever occurred to me.”

Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland said he didnÕ t know offhand at what level of government the minimum wage could be raised, but either way he would not support a pay hike for working families. “I think it kills economic development for small business,” Gillilland said.

North Elba Supervisor Robi Politi, who owns a real estate company, saw raising workersÕ pay as a non-issue. “I don’t think about the minimum wage,” Politi said. “I have bigger fish to fry.”

Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew said he didnÕ t think the minimum wage could be adjusted at the town or county level. But he would support tying it to cost of living adjustments.

Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava said he thought the minimum wage could only be raised on the federal or state level. “(Otherwise) that would require home-rule legislation,” he said. “If that’s even possible.”

Still Scozzafava said he supported raising the minimum wage, though he didnÕ t have an exact figure in mind. “I think the overall impact on the economy would be positive and it would reduce our dependency on social programs,” he said, adding there were large numbers of the working poor in the Adirondacks. ÒI f you work, in my opinion, you have the right to support yourself and a family.”

Scozzafava continued, highlighting the pay gap between corporate executives and rank-andfile workers.

“They pay their top people the equivalent of a thousand of their employees or more a year,” he said, before interjecting he was “not against capitalism.”

Those workers who make well above the minimum wage might believe the struggles of their more-exploited brethren do not effect their economic position. But such a view is shortsighted.

Boosting the income of the lowest-paid workers will raise the salaries of higher-paid workers as expectations for fair compensation rise. On the other hand, reducing the pay of the lowest-paid workers will pull down the salaries of higher-paid workers as expectations for fair compensation drop.

North Country laborers should vote their class interests. We should assess local candidates positions’ based on whether they benefit the working class and to what degree. Do our politicians support raising the minimum wage for working families? And if so, how large of a raise do they support? Are our politicians in favor of shifting the tax burden for necessary government services toward the rich? And if so, to what extent? In deciding for whom to vote, North Country workers should consider questions like these. Ñ Denton Editorial Board

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden

One Hundred Years Ago May, 1914 Bull is still out of the pen

Charles D. Bull, of Lake George, who is under a suspended sentence of five years in Dannemora Prison and who disappeared from that place about a year ago after breaking his parole by committing a second crime, was taken into custody by Under Sheriff Mac R. Smith, Saturday, May 1, 1914 in Saratoga Springs.

Bull was indicted for stealing goods from the store of Homer Selleck, of Lake George, pleaded guilty and was given a suspended sentence.

Later it was alleged that he forged the name of the Schermerhorn Construction Company to several checks. He was arraigned before Judge Raley and his suspension of sentence was revoked. He was remanded to the county jail for a week to give the judge time to decide what should be done with him.

The young fellow has been in various scrapes at Lake George. He comes from a reputable family, but has some sort of a kink in his mental makeup which seems to make it impossible for him to keep out of trouble. After cashing the forged check he disappeared from Lake George and was only recently located by Under Sheriff Smith in Saratoga who went there after him.

The company whose money this young man is alleged to have illegally procured did not care to press a charge, therefore Judge Raley concluded that it would be well to continue the suspension of the sentence so long as Bull continues to support his wife and four small children.

Fisticuffs at Hague

A three cornered noisy row and assault occurred at Hague on Monday afternoon, in which Dennis Davis and Edward Yaw were the combatants, is being investigated by the Grand Jury now is session at Lake George. It is stated that Yaw became engaged in an altercation with Dennis DavisÕ father, an aged man, and was chocking him severely when Davis took a hand and struck Yaw with a club breaking three of his ribs, one of which punctured the manÕ s lung.

Dr. Cummings, of Ticonderoga, attended Yaw, whose injuries, though severe, are not necessarily dangerous.

Strange man in town

In Indian Lake, a strange man calling himself William Johnson, of Rockwell, N.Y., on Saturday, May 9, 1914, broke into the farmhouse on the mouth of the Indian Road, owned by George S. Morehouse and took a ham and a Winchester rifle. He was captured and arrested within an hour after the theft and sent to Lake Pleasant to await the session of the Grand Jury.

Early dip in Lake George

Captain Harvey Crandall, 91, one of the oldest inhabitants of Lake George, seemed rather proud that on June 5, 1914 he had been one of the first of the season to take a dip in the lake there, which he described as “invigorating.”

What many a summer tourist would have called a narrow escape from drowning, the captain termed “just a little accident.”

Shoving off from the dock in a small boat for a fishing trip, Captain Crandall tripped over an oar which lay in the bottom of the boat and plunged head foremost into the icy water. In spite of the fact that he was weighed down by a heavy sweater and coat, the captain, who in his day was an expert swimmer and had saved many from drowning, showed that he had not forgotten the art by striking out for the shore and reaching it in record time. Undaunted by his experience, he secured another boat and again ventured forth, this time to bring in his capsized craft. After putting on dry clothes, the captain found that he was none the worst for his cold bath and rather enjoyed his adventure.

(Note – In this column in the May 3, 2014 Adirondack Journal I told the story of another of Captain Crandall’s fishing excursions that took place a couple of weeks earlier then this one when he leaned too far to one side of his boat to bait his hook and fell into the water near the Fort William Henry dock. Arthur Finkle, a Lake George youth, plunged into the icy lake to save the captain from drowning. When I get to be 91 years old, I hope that I have the zest for living that the good captain possessed.)

Cooper’s Cave made accessible

For the past sixty years or more, CooperÕ s Cave, which is situated on the island in the Hudson River at the foot of Glen Street Hill between Glens Falls and the Town of Moreau, has been a mecca for thousands of tourists. This cave, made famous by James Fenimore Cooper’s “Last of the Mohicans,” has done much toward advertising Glens Falls throughout the nation.

In the past, wooden steps led from the bridge to the rocks in which the cave is situated, but with the flood carrying away the 1890 bridge last year, these steps were swept into the torrent. With the erection of the new concrete viaduct there will be no provision made for the stairs being replaced nor will there be any method provided for tourists reaching the cave.

Although the cave possesses nothing of historical interest, Cooper has made it famous the world over, and to the end that something may be done toward providing access to the cave, State Historian James A. Holden took the matter up with the International Paper Company, which owns the island on which the cave is situated. Mr. Holden asked that the company pro-

vide a method for tourists to reach the cave but they gave several reasons why the company did not feel like undertaking to carry out the idea.

Mr. Holden finally received a communication from company president, Chester W. Lyman saying that he would be glad to see the cave made accessible but they would not pay for it but would instead place the property at the disposal of any responsible organization, giving such a body a lease for a purely nominal sum for a long term, the paper company reserving the right to modify the lease, restrict or cancel it due to the height of the dam or if any other danger occurs.

Subscriptions are being raised to install stairs leading from the bridge to the rocks below as the work will have to be done in the near future before the new bridge is completed. (Note – The dramatic story of the South Glens Falls Bridge collapsing into the Hudson River was told in this column in the March 23, 2013 Adirondack Journal. Completed with the new viaduct in 1915, a specially designed stairway was listed in guide books as Ò the most unique concrete spiral stairway in America” and was built near the center pier of the bridge which provided access to CooperÕ s Cave. The bronze railing for the stairway and a bronze tablet at the head of the stairway was put in place in June, 1915.

When the bridge was rebuilt in 1961, the crumbling stairway was not replaced as Mr. Holden was no longer there to lead the charge.)

News near and far

Weeghman Park was built for the Chicago Federal League baseball team, the Chicago Whales. It opened April 23, 1914.The Chicago Federals pounded the Kansas City Packers in the first game. (Note – The baseball park was known as Weeghman Park until 1920. Today is named Wrigley Field for chewing gum heir, William Wrigley Jr., and is the oldest national league ballpark in the country.)

The popular new movie, Ò The Perils of Pauline” is now being shown in local theatres. The first color film ever made, “World, the Flesh & the Devil” was shown for the first time on April 9, 1914 in London, England.

Levi Parsons Morton, former governor of New York and one of the four men living who have been vice-president of the United States, celebrated his ninetieth birthday on May 16, 1914 at his summer home, Rhinecliff on the Hudson. Physicians predict that the energetic old man will live at least until he reaches the century mark.

Col. John L. Cunningham resigned on April 29, 1914 as president of The Glens Falls Fire Insurance Company after forty-seven years of service in the company. He became president in 1892 succeeding Russell M. Little, who died the year previous.

A party of ladies and gentlemen standing in the Whitcomb yard on Sunday, May 10, 1914 at Graphite, were startled by the report of a gun and a bullet whizzed by within a few feet of them and buried itself in the ground some 100 feet distant. It was later learned that the gun was fired by a nearby resident from the yard of his home at a hawk. The man should be more careful when he shoots with his poor marksmanship.

Letters to the Editor

Not all speech is free To the Adirondack Journal: The First Amendment says that, ÒC ongress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech.” It does not grant free speech in all locations such as the work place, private buildings open to the public (shopping malls), or property you do not own. It may be limited by a concept known as “time, place, and manner.” Libelous and slanderous statements (lies) are not protected unless uttered on the House or Senate floors.

I believe that FCC should be investigating broadcast media. It is established that the airwaves are a public resource. Congress gave the FCC a regulatory duty. There is a significant amount deal of dishonesty in broadcast media content. In recent history, I have seen/heard bullying in broadcast media, either directly or through advertising.An example of bullying would be those ads which stated: candidate X “voted with Nancy Pelosi,” without specifying what item was voted on. Folks, every Congressman voted with Nancy Pelosi on something, if nothing more than a motion to adjourn.

An out-and-out lie uttered time and again was that the Affordable Care Act authorized a, “death panel” that would decide which Medicare people would not get expensive health care, a form of rationing ( not unlike commercial insurance companies do now, a fact never mentioned). I could not believe that Congress would pass such a thing. This law was an Act of Congress not an Presidential Authorization like water boarding.

I read the law. The panel was charged with containing Medicare costs. In the law, that panel was specifically prohibited from making recommendations as to rationing health care. The panelÕ s recommendations are to be presented to Congress, which will act on them however it chooses. The panel cannot enact the recommendations. I have no problem with the FCC going after liars and frauds on my airwaves. We are supposed to have open debate.

Deliberate misrepresentation of the facts should be prosecuted.

Such behavior is subversive and contrary to a healthy democracy.

Joe Gilbert, 21st District House candidate, wishes to do away with the U.S. Department of Education. He is quoted as saying that the Department, “isn’t in the Constitution.” I read the Constitution.

HeÕ s right, no departments are listed: none, zero, nada. Using Gil-

bertÕ s criterion for getting rid of departments, we should sack these department too, among others: Agriculture, Veterans Affairs, Commerce, Defense, Homeland Security. In for a penny, in for a dollar!

The type of statement used by Gilbert occurs all to often. In my opinion, it is aimed at creating a quick, negative reaction - Òi ts wrong if it is not in the Constitution” - from people who are too lazy to check out the Constitution or other sources of facts. Getting into power by misrepresentation and innuendo seems to be the norm. Abuse of the First Amendment is the weapon of choice.

Fracking ‘anitdotes’ To the Adirondack Journal: Two things - first, please look up the two similar-sounding words “antidote” and “anecdote” and then check to see which one was employed in at least four places in this editorial. I found the article otherwise well-thought-out and well-written, but this jarring clinker sharply disappointed.

Second, is it possible that fracking could be made safer to the point of acceptability by imposing rules on the industry? Just to start with, as you noted they were exempted from the Clean Water rules with which every other entity must comply. This has helped make their product appear less expensive than it really is, and confuses us when we try to value it. The destructive results of rule removal also must whip up opposition to the industry. Could frackers become decent trusted fellow citizens with proper oversight? Could they be made to produce a truly valuable product, and not a morass of enviro horror? Anecdotally, it would seem that even greatly expanded alternative energy sources cannot bear the burden of our energy demands. I just donÕ t hear a lot about any possibility of reforming the fracking industry (though granted that would almost certainly raise their costs, perhaps astronomically) and I donÕ t know enough about the science. I wonder if it would make an interesting further article, or if itÕ s a dead end.

Thanks for keeping attention trained on the subject.

Marianne Hines Hague

Surprised by editorial To the Adirondack Journal: I was surprised that in the midst of a generally good editorial a suggestion for improving education was by breaking unions. The growth of the middle class followed the growth of unions during the 20th century, as has the decline of the middle class followed the ongoing efforts to bust unions. The only people/institutions that truly benefit by the destruction of unions are corporations, their highly overpaid chief executives, and shareholders. The lack of unions has allowed corporations like Walmart get away with paying their employees so little they are eligible for food stamps. Has there been corruption in unions? Sure just as there has been corruption and greed on Wall Street that lead to economic collapse we have been suffering through. The solution isnÕ t eliminating unions any more than it is eliminating corporations, itÕ s in reform, transparency, good governance and so on. The reality is we all benefit from collective bargaining, that said, too often the collective bargaining is just focussed on renumeration and not enough on improving the product, in this case, how we educate our children. We need the collective voice in our planning, to set goals, and measure outcomes – outcome that are more than just how one does on a test as we need to enhance our kidsÕ creativity, moral judgement, sense of responsibility, and ability to be a good citizen along with their skills in reading, writing, math, science, and athletics.

Blotter QUEENSBURY Ñ On May 4 at approximately 10:30 a.m., Warren County SheriffÕ s Patrol Officers were dispatched to the Wal-Mart, 891 State Route 9 in the Town of Queensbury for the larceny of a 40” flat screen high definition television. Patrols were advised that an unknown male suspect placed the TV in a cart and attempted to flee the store without payment but was stopped by a Wal-Mart loss prevention employee at the main doors of the store. Once confronted the male fled, leaving the television behind.

A short time later Sheriff’s Patrol Officers spotted a vehicle matching the description of the suspect vehicle that was seen fleeing the scene of Wal-Mart. As officers were preparing to stop the vehicle, the vehicle pulled into a convenience store on Route 9 and both the operator and the occupant quickly exited the vehicle, one of the occupants entered the store and attempted to change his appearance by changing his clothing while in the store. Both subjects were detained. The individual who attempted to change his appearance was later identified as the suspect involved in the larceny. A subsequent check of the vehicle provided additional stolen merchandise.

Persons involved were Trevor B. Barber, 32, of Basher Falls, charged with petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property fifth; and John F. Bovee Jr., 39, of Porters Corners, charged with criminal possession of stolen property fifth, conspiracy sixth and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle third.

Both individuals were arraigned and remanded to the Warren County Correctional for lack of bail.

LAKE GEORGE Ñ Christina F. Burch, 33 of Pottersville was arrested for Aggravated Driving While Intoxicated late Friday evening following the investigation of a motor vehicle accident on State Route 9, Town of Lake George.

The accident occurred when BurchÕ s vehicle veered off of the roadway and struck the embankment. While on the embankment the vehicle overturned and came to rest on all four tires.

Burch was not injured during the accident.

Investigation found that Burch had consumed alcoholic beverages earlier in the evening. Burch then failed standardized field sobriety tests and was placed under arrest for Driving While Intoxicated. Further investigation found that BurchÕ s Blood Alcohol Contact was .24 percent, three times the legal limit.

Burch was released and is due to return to the Town of Lake George Court on a later date.

Patrol Officer’s Jesse Pound and Mark LaFond made the arrest.

QUEENSBURY Ñ On May 8 at 9:38 p.m. the Warren County Sheriff’s Office received a call of a property damage accident in which the suspect vehicle fled the scene southbound on Interstate 87 from exit 23. The vehicle was located near exit 21 traveling at approximately 10 mph with heavy front end damage. Jonie M. Allen, 20, of Hadley, was arrested after it was determined that Allen had rear ended another vehicle on State Route 9 at the intersection of Prosser Road. Allen was unaware that she had been in a collision with another vehicle. She was found to have a blood alcohol concentration of .20 percent. She was charged with Aggravated DWI and issued several traffic tickets.

LAKE GEORGE Ñ The new Price Chopper supermarket south of Warrensburg Ñ the largest retail store in northern Warren County Ñ will be opening to the public this weekend with considerable fanfare.

Two public events are slated to herald the storeÕ s debut.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new store set for 8 a.m. Sunday May 18 is expected to draw a considerable crowd to launch the longawaited supermarket. The store will be open for business directly after the ceremony.

A preview party fundraising reception is to be held from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturday May 17, featuring tours of the store and samplings of various foods. A donation of $5 per person is requested, and all proceeds go towards three local non-profit entities: North Country Ministry, the Warrensburg Volunteer Fire Co. and the Warrensburg Youth Program. Price Chopper will be matching all the collected donations, dollar for dollar, and the shopping plazaÕ s developer, Vanguard-Fine Corp., will be doing so also, but up to a $2,500 limit. During the preview party, the store will not be open for general shopping.

The new Price Chopper store will feature a variety of specialty departments and has created 25 full-time and 98 part-time jobs, company executives said. The supermarket will be staying open 24 hours/seven days per week during the summer.

The store is to host a full-service deli, a bakery with artisan breads and

Golub has said that the inventory of the new will be downsized from the scale of the Glen St. store.

The Grand Opening celebration is to feature the Warrensburg High School Band playing the National Anthem as local American Legion members conduct a flag-raising.

The Saturday evening reception features samplings of hot and cold foods through the store, as well as an opportunity to win a $250 Price Chopper gift card. Donations are not expected from children 12 and under.

Warrensburg Town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty, who also serves as Warren County Board of Supervisors Chairman, said he was pleased that the Price Chopper store was providing more than 100 jobs, with many of the positions filled by local residents.

“This number of new jobs is substantial,” he said. Ò Any time we can create jobs for people in our region, itÕ s good.

Geraghty noted that Price Chopper and the new plaza will be contributing a great deal towards local school taxes Ñ after a development incentive expires Ñ reducing the tax burden on local families. Ò Price ChopperÕ s arrival here is good for the neighborhood,” he added, noting that he hopes that Price ChopperÕ s arrival creates healthy competition with existing food purveyors rather than driving them out of town.

Lake George Town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson and various area economic development officials have heralded the arrival of the store and plaza, predicting they will have a substantial impact on the economy in the southern Adirondacks.

Boat inspectors train for launch of program on Lake George to combat invasive species

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ Dave Wick, executive director of the Lake George Park Commission looked around at several groups of his agencyÕ s new employees, clustered around watercraft parked in the Lake George Forum parking lot.

While several of them blasted hulls of boats with highpressure streams of hot water, instructors offered them tips on technique of decontaminating boats to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.

“This is tremendous,” he said. “This is the first program of its kind in the eastern U.S.” On April 30, about 50 new boat inspection technicians underwent training in preparation for the new mandatory boat inspection and decontamination program that begins May 15.

The new park commission employees learned the fine points of thorough inspection and decontamination of watercraft Ñ both inboards and outboards. The new park commission employees learned how to clean out hulls, bilges, engines, bait wells and ballast tanks.

They learned how to identify various invasive species, as well as determine whether a boat was truly cleaned, drained and dray Ñ and could bypass decontamination.

For the training session and related classroom work last week, The Fund for Lake George brought in D. Davis and her husband Michael, nationally-renowned instructors in watercraft decontamination who has trained people at Lake Tahoe and various western states on how to curb the spread of invasive species.

D. Davis stepped back from a group she was training. ÒI love how here in Lake George you have buy-ins from the area communities,” she said. ÒA ny successful program is a group effort Ñ In other sites where weÕ ve trained, this hasn’t always been the case.”

Wick explained that the program to curb invasives already has a head start, with thousands of boats already certified clean through the “frozen boats” program, as well as agreements with boat haulers and private marinas to assure no live invasive plants or animals are introduced into the lake. He estimated that as many as 4,000 boats were already certified clean of invasives, and ready to go into the lake. ÒW eÕ re working to keep this minimally inconvenient to boaters,” he said.

Wick said the inspectorsin-training had diverse backgrounds Ñ they ranged from dock employees to watercraft rookies. ÒM any are people whoÕ ve lived on lakes their whole lives and have extensive mechanical knowledge of boats, and others who are just learning,” he said.

One of the boat enthusiasts with extensive knowledge undergoing training was Leigh Dunning of Mineville. For 50 years, heÕ s camped on the islands of Lake George. An avid angler, he said he was excited to be hired as an inspector, assuring that boats were clean before they were launched.

“I feel terrific about my new job,” Dunning said soon after he turned over a pressurewasher wand to another trainee. ÒI Õ ve spent a lot of time on this lake, and I feel its time to give back.”

Fellow trainee Travis Plansker offered a similar thought. Ò ItÕ s good to know we are helping protect the lake,” he said.

Eric Siy of the Fund for Lake George watched the boat watching instruction. Ò This is a historic moment,” Siy said, “We’ve pulled out all the stops at all

levels to bring this to reality and fulfill the promise of protection of Lake George from invasive species. We will not have a second chance to protect Lake George from the threat and scourge of invasives Ñ they are biological terrorists.”

Charles Wood Park construction bids awarded by village

By Thom Randall

were in the vicinity of the local bowing alley and the town garage but were bulldozed and were developed for other purposes many decades ago.

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ The effort to develop an environmental park in Lake George Village moved forward this week as the village board voted to approve bids totaling $1.7 million in construction work.

Approved May 2 were bids for the site work and landscaping, as well as construction of trails, ecological parking areas, water features and pedestrian bridges Ñ and a park headquarters with rest rooms.

The Charles Wood Park, envisioned to be a natural gateway to the Adirondacks, is situated at the southern end of the lake, off Canada St. just south of Fort William Henry. The northern half of the park Ñ nearly 17 acres total Ñ features a 2.5-acre festival area with a portable stage along with a childrenÕ s play area with an interactive fountain and a skateboard park. The southern half, just south of West Brook Road, hosts nature trails and scenic overlooks as well as wetlands constructed to purify stormwater.

Site work, which includes constructing a parking area with reinforcement underneath grass turf, was awarded to Cutting Edge Group of Lake George, for $1.01 million Ñ the lowest among eight bids.

The construction of the park building was awarded to Riverview Construction of Rexford NY for $526,800 — also the lowest among eight bids.

Both the plumbing for the park building and its heating and air conditioning were awarded to Phoenix Group for a combined sum of $115,385. Kasselman Electric of Albany was awarded the electrical work for $39,895.

Mayor Robert Blais said the bids came in about $400,000 less than estimated, so leftover grant funds could likely be reallocated towards water features and signage for the festival space, decreasing the amount shouldered locally.

The construction bids were awarded subject to review by the state Department of Transportation and Department of State.

The village is to advertise for bids for construction of the skate park in several weeks.

Blais said he was hopeful that all phases of

Project delays cost village $100,000

At the May 2 meeting, Harrington told the board that the state Department of State rejected the villageÕ s request to extend the time frame of a grant which was to fund streetscape improvements along the east side of Canada St. from Amherst St. north to Marine Village motel.

The village has already borrowed $100,000 to fund the $120,000 project, which now apparently wonÕ t be reimbursed by the state. Harrington said the town would be shouldering the entire $120,000 for the project, which calls for new sidewalks, brick pavers, and new curbs to match the prior upgrades downtown. Work on this project is to begin this fall.

Lake to be dredged soon

Making progress in a project that has been pending for nearly a decade, Lake George Village officials awarded five bids May 2 to develop the former Gaslight Village property into an environmental park and festival area. Named for the late Charles R. Wood, a local philanthropist and the godfather of theme parks worldwide, the park is envisioned to be a natural gateway into the Adirondacks that will provide a renewing, relaxing experience for generations of residents and visitors. The park is to include nature walkways and overlooks, fitness trails, water features a children’s adventure area and a skateboard park.

park construction would be completed by May 2015.

“I’m keeping my fingers crossed,” he said.

Pollution detective work planned

Describing another initiative, Lake George Village Public Works Superintendent Dave Harrington said village employees were working with the Lake George Waterkeeper and others to launch an 18-month-long program of sampling groundwater in the lakeÕ s watershed near West Brook.

The Waterkeeper has pledged $2,000 to launch the project, and the village will be con-

tributing $1,000. The project is to measure water purity so the impact of current and upcoming improvements to the villageÕ s sewage treatment plant can be assessed. A total of $2.2 million has been spent already on boosting the plantÕ s treatment efficiency, and $2.3 million of further improvements have been proposed. The work was undertaken to satisfy demands of state environmental officials to decrease nitrates in the plant’s effluent.

Blais predicted that the sampling might indicate that the pollution was not primarily from the sewage plant, but it was emanating from former municipal landfills. These trash dumps

The board endorsed a project to dredge sand and sludge out of Lake George near Shepard Park beach and in the vicinity of the Warren County SheriffÕ s dock behind the village Visitors Center. Harrington said that stormwater flowing into the lake brought the sand and solids creating deltas in the lake that were so large that cruise boats were now touching bottom as they pull into their docks.

Harrington said the state Department of Environmental Conservation has approved the dredging plans, and the work is likely to begin this week. Curtains are to be set up in the lake to contain sand stirred up by excavation work.

The cost of the excavation work is to be split with the Lake George Association, which has pledged $3,000 toward the project, Mayor Robert Blais said.

In other business, the board scheduled two public hearings for 6 p.m. May 19 — one for abandonment of Parrot St., a short venue off Ottawa St., and another on proposed amendments to the village zoning laws, primarily regarding land classifications permitting six-story buildings.
