CHESTERTOWN — A half dozen area veterans gathered May 18 on the lawn of the Town of Chester Municipal center to observe some construction work. A few days earlier, excavators had scooped up tons of soil, and concrete footings were poured for four massive granite slabs that are to bear the names of area citizens who have served in the U.S. military. Harry Bollback, a U.S. Marine veteran serving in World War II, overlooked the work that had been completed. “To see this, is like a miracle,” said Bollback, a founder of Word of Life Ministries. “We all dreamed of this, and it caught fire.” Within several weeks, the four multi-ton slabs of Vermont granite will be standing on the lawn in a semicircle. Planted in front of the town of Chester ’s municipal CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Over the past dozen years, plans have progressed for the property— along with about 10 adjacent acres — to be turned into an environmental park to include festival grounds and wetlands that filter out stormwater pollution. Straddling West Brook, the park is envisioned to include walking
and bicycling trails, wildlife-filled marshes, and scenic overlooks.The 2.5acre festival area, located on the former Gaslight Village plot, is to host outdoor events and provide public parking.

tourism officials are working hard to attract New York City travelers. That was evident Thursday, May 17 when representatives from several local businesses and Warren County Tourism attended the annual New York By Rail trade show at Penn Station in New York City. Those attending the show are adver-
tisers in the New York By Rail magazine, which promotes tourism destinations in the state reached by Amtrak railroad service. And North Creek is one of those destinations. The new train schedule between Saratoga Springs and North Creek gives New York City and Capital District travelers the op-
portunity to take an Amtrak train to Saratoga, where they can board the Saratoga and North Creek Railway. Layovers in Saratoga are required during the mid-week, but through traffic is available Friday to Monday. Local attractions attending the New York By Rail event included the CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

WARRENSBURG — In an era when families are protesting rising taxes and fretting over $4 gasoline and disappearing jobs, Richards Library trustees managed to get a perpetual $98,100 annual property tax levy approved in a public vote May 17 by a comfortable margin of 481 to 272. Some local citizens were wondering how on earth they accomplished it. Here’s how: First, the library trustees concentrated on contacting the people that believed in the role of libraries as vital cultural institutions, urging them to get out to vote. They were advised by a local political pro not to waste any effort trying to change the minds of any levy opponents, or recruit the votes of those who were indifferent to the library’s mission.
town. Next among their strategies was to submit letters to the editor, primarily in the Adirondack Journal. Since the Journal is sent to every household in the school district, their letters — which contained information on the impact of the library levy and its benefits — were well distributed. Their promotional effort included another approach, reflecting the ways the new generation connects. Library President Susan Jennings — who decades ago took a college course in marketing — distributed the library levy information and pleas for a Yes vote by posting them on Facebook. Library friends, of course, reposted the messages and broadcast them on Facebook news feeds. “It was a huge cooperative effort,” Jennings said, deferring credit to the library volunteers. “There were many, many hours of work involved.”

Big Apple Circus receives warm welcome in Lake George By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Lake George’s municipal festival venue has been mired in a long history of stalled construction and public disputes of how it should be developed. But May 13, local officials were all in accord as they gave a hearty welcome to executives of the renowned Big Apple Circus as they scouted out the Charles R. Wood Park for their 25 shows to be presented over two weeks this July. The area officials said they were happy that such a prominent national attraction took up their invitation to locate at the festival grounds this year, despite the fact that the venue isn’t yet fully developed. The award-winning intimate circus, based in Ne York City, has been situated for similar stints in such high-profile places as Boston, the Washington D.C. area, as well as Lincoln Center in Manhattan. The circus has earned rave reviews for its creativity and artistic spectacle. It features trained animals of unusual species, a troupe of acrobats from the Orient, jugglers from Russia, renowned trapeze artists, operatic singing, a live band and seasoned clowns. It’s all presented in one ring under an air-conditioned big top that accommodates 1,500 where no seat is farther than 50 feet away from the performances. In welcoming the circus executives, Lake George Mayor Blais said he was thrilled they responded so enthusiastically when he sent out an email just months ago inviting attractions to set up in the Charles R. Wood Park during the venue’s initial year.

“It was mind boggling to send out the invitations and get a reply from Big Apple Circus,” Blais said. “I was expecting something far smaller in stature to respond.” Blais said the presence of Big Apple this summer would help attract other prominent shows and events to Lake George, enhancing its reputation as a family destination. “No other resort town in America will have a circus like Big Apple,” he said, noting local officials are hopeful that the circus will draw robust crowds and prompt Big Apple to return year after year. “We’re seeking to establish a long and lasting relationship,” Blais added. Chamber Director Michael Consuelo offered a similar forecast of how Big Apple would boost Lake George’s
prominence as a site for various shows and functions. “This is a home run for all of us,” he said. Big Apple spokesman Philip Thurston revealed why the executives of the non-profit circus chose Lake George. “It was a combination of accessibility, visibility, location and potential audience that made it an ideal spot,” Thurston said. “This is one of America’s premier resort communities.” Big Apple Circus Artistic Director Guillaume Dufresnoy praised the local officials for making accommodations for their tenure on the Charles Wood Park festival grounds. Warren County and the village are waiving site fees and paying for some of the infrastructure and services they require. “Presenting the shows is about partnerships, not just a parking lot in a resort town,” he said. Dufresnoy and other circus officials said they were pleased that the Lake George Chamber of Commerce, municipal officials and area business representatives were partnering with them in promotions and offering package deals. The circus will be offering two shows most days between Saturday July 14 and Sunday July 29. Details are available at: www.bigapplecircus.org. A top state official was on hand for the press conference formally announcing the circus’ two-week run. Matt Driscoll, President and CEO of the state Environmental Facilities Corp. said he was pleased to see that $738,000 of his agency’s grant money would put to work — in the form of porous pavement and stormwater control — while benefiting the local economy. He said the circus and the development of the park would attract more people and business to Lake George. “Congratulations to all,” he said.

Lake George to mull ban on covering store windows thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Covering up store windows or doorways for more than 48 hours — whether to hide interior redecorating or closing a retail establishment for the off-season — may soon be illegal without a special permit, if a proposed village law is enacted. The Lake George Village board set a public hearing for June 18 on the proposed ordinance. Lake George Mayor Blais said that a prior slate of zoning ordinances had contained the prohibition, but in a recent re-drafting of the laws, the ordinance was deleted. Blais said that some store owners have been covering up their windows in the offseason, giving people a negative impression about prevailing business activity. The proposed ordinance would make the village more welcoming by forcing shop owners to maintain attractive window displays, he said. “We work hard on making the village look good,” Blais said, adding that the retail store proprietors ought to do their part. In addition to the window covering law, another public hearing will be held at the June meeting to consider updates the village’s Hawking, Peddling and Auctions law which was drafted in 1930. While the law prohibits people from soliciting customers by standing out in public
and shouting out sales pitches — or herding people into stores, the law would allow outdoor auctions with a license and a payment of a $100 fee, Blais said. The present licensing fee, set in 1930, is $10. During the May 21 meeting, Trustee Ray Perry noted that some residents were hanging tarps over their porches, and perhaps the board should expand their property maintenance law to prohibit the practice.
No parking passes for seniors In other business, the board decided to reject a request from Lake George Senior Citizens president John Herzog to establish a flat-fee parking pass for local senior citizens. Blais said such an ordinance might not be legal, as it would be discriminatory. Board members also noted that there was widespread abuse of handicapped parking privileges by able-bodied citizens of all ages driving cars bearing handicapped stickers and parking them in spaces designated for disabled drivers. The board also approved a request from Christina Solimanto to place velvet ropes, stanchions and a reddish carpet in front of her Purse Party store at 211 Canada St. “It enhances the pedestrian experience,” Solimanto said. Also, the board approved placement of a 7-feet-tall carved bear outside Pablo’s Burrito Cantina at 275 Canada St. as long as it was fastened down. The enterprise is owned by Perry, who abstained from the otherwise unanimous vote.

headquarters, the six-feet-tall memorials are to forever honor the men and women of Chestertown, Pottersville and elsewhere in the town of Chester who served their nation, Bollback said. Those engraved names will be of soldiers serving in either combat or otherwise from the Revolutionary War to the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The granite monuments, which were being engraved this week with 979 names, will be flanked with six flags representing the Army Navy, Air Force, Marines Coast Guard and a POW/MIA flag. There is also to be a fallen soldier ’s memorial, a grouping of bronzed U.S. military boots, helmet, dogtag and rifle. The monuments and flags, to stand about 25 feet from the municipal center ’s entrance, will be illuminated at night. The development, referred to as Veterans Plaza, has been designed in conjunction with a plan to hold festivals and outdoor gatherings on the municipal center ’s lawn. The plaza and the veterans memorial are to be dedicated in a patriotic public ceremony planned for 5 p.m. Saturday, July 7. State and federal politicians and U.S. mil-
itary officials have pledged to participate, Bollback said. “It will be a spectacular event,” Bollback said, noting there will be a live band performing, color guards and notable officials attending. Bollback and the other veterans, gathered May 18 — Lou Russo, Joe Slattery, Harry Brundage, Bill Linton, Ron Robert and Harry Smith — talked of the community support that was making this veterans memorial plaza a reality. No state, federal or municipal funds have been spent on the project, they said. Bollback said that the monument committee has raised about $65,000 to date and that many businesses have donated services and materials for the monument project. The monument project has been under development for nearly two years. In addition to the veterans named above, working on the effort have been Joanne Ellsworth, Tracy Evans, Frank Tucci, and Sam Maltbie have been involved on behalf of the American legion Post 964 and VFW Post 5513. Donations are still needed to complete the work, Bollback said. Contributions may be sent to: Town of Chester Veterans Memorial, P.O. Box 365, Chestertown, NY 12817.

And she was thankful for the help. “To me it just proves that people here realize that there is a sacrifice always by everybody, the family, the men that are there, the communities that suffer because they are gone,” she said. “But the whole reason they are there is so people can be happy here at home.” Several miles to the south, in the hamlet of North Creek, Edward Austin Jr. (1811-1883) and his wife, Minerva Rollin Austin (1811-1908), saw five of their 11 sons leave home to fight for the Union during the Civil War. There was service and sacrifice in their household, as four of the Austin brothers died during the conflict. It was 150 years ago when the family learned of the death of their first son’s death. Over the next two years, three more would die serving their country. •Pvt. Rollin Austin, 19, died April 10, 1862 in Washington, D.C. He was in Company E of the 22nd New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment. •Pvt. Shelden Austin, 23, died June 23, 1862 at the White House Hospital, Virginia. He was in Company A of the 93rd New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment. •Pvt. David Austin, 22, died Sept. 25, 1863 at the Hampton Hospital, Virginia. He was in Company D of the 118th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment. •Pvt. Charles Austin, 18, died April 5, 1864 at Pingo Landing, North Carolina. He was in Company B of the 96th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment. The surviving brother in the Army, George Washington Austin, joined Company B of the 148th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment. An American flag with a Civil War marker is placed in the ground next to the brothers’ headstone at the family plot in North Creek’s Union Cemetery. You have to look at all four sides of the stone. The names of David and Charles share one
side of the stone; the names of Rollin and Shelden share another side; and the name of brother Emerson Austin (1855-1881) marks the front of the stone. It is not clear which of the four brothers who died in the Civil War are buried in North Creek. Miniature stones with the initials “S.W.A.” and “R.F.A.” are located between the stones of other family members, including the parents. In any case, they are memorialized, and their stone is decorated with an American flag. When researching local history for the Civil War ’s 150th anniversary, author Glenn Pearsall tracked 175 men buried in the town of Johnsburg who served during the Civil War. He found that 125 were town residents when they left to fight. “Think of what it would be like today if 125 men from town marched off to war,” Pearsall said in his “Johnsburg Goes to War” lecture Sept. 10 and 11, 2011 at the Tannery Pond Community Center. Of those 125 men, 37 were married. “This means, in addition to mothers, fathers and brothers and sisters, they also left behind wives and children,” Pearsall said. “And in a rural farm country like Johnsburg was at that time, who was going to do the hard chores on the farms? The spring planting? Maintaining and fixing the heavy equipment? Doing the hard work of haying the fields and tending to the livestock all winter?” Pearsall’s research shows that 45 of the 175 Civil War veterans in Johnsburg that he studied died in battle or by disease. Another 27 were discharged for disability due to battle wounds or disease, and 11 were disabled with a lost arm, an amputated leg, chronically ill or mentally unstable. Several died at home within a few years after the war, succumbing to those injuries. As we take a day off for Memorial Day, we ask citizens to remember all the veterans who served and sacrificed for their families and their country. And think of those who continue to serve in the military overseas so we can enjoy our freedom. Andy Flynn is the Assistant Managing Editor at Denton Publications.

•100 Years Ago – May 1912• The saga of Timothy Hill I was gratified to receive several calls from readers concerning the May 12 article in this column of the life of Timothy Hill and his famous 1912 murder trial. The man was an Adirondack legend in his own time and the story is still recalled by many today. He was accused of murdering his live-in girlfriend by forcing her to drink strychnine while the defense contended that she had taken her own life. A century ago, the famous murder case concerning the death of Anna Loveland was the subject of endless speculation in area homes, churches, barber shops and pool halls. Even now, some readers are familiar with the story. In the words of poet John Greenleaf Whittier, “Judge of the wonder, guess at the fear! Think what ancient gossips might say, shaking their heads in their dreary way, between the meetings on Sabbathday.” To the amazement of nearly everyone, the jury brought in a verdict of Not Guilty.
Hill goes to meet his maker Timothy Hill died Jan. 13, 1941 at Marcy state mental hospital. He was survived by his brother, George M. Hill of Riverbank. According to former Warrensburgh resident Murray Pratt, a distant relative, near the end of his life Tim Hill had been living at the Warren County Home in Warrensburgh for quite some time until home staff could no longer handle him because he was so violent and mean. They sent him to Marcy because he could no longer be restrained. Upon his death, the Woodward Funeral Home in Warrensburgh transported his remains to Horicon where he was laid to rest in the South Brant Lake Cemetery (also called the Bartonville Cemetery) in a silent
grave, in readiness for him to meet his maker — He took many secrets with him. Thanks go to my good friend, historian Franklin K. Bennett of Warrensburgh, for allowing me to delve into his research files.
A fisherman’s paradise W.F. Reynolds and Percy Austin of Warrensburgh rode to North Thurman on their bicycles morning, May 11, 1912 and spent the day there fishing. They caught 56 speckled trout between them. Mr. Austin lost his eye glasses in a case somewhere between Athol and the top of Kenyontown mountain. (Note…In a letter to the editor of the Glens Falls Times, on May 3, 1912, F.D. Orcutt of Chicago wrote in part, “In 1844 my father moved from Hartford, Washington County, to Lake George on what was than known as the Smith Brook place, about four miles north of Caldwell (Lake George) village on the west shore of Lake George. I was then eight, being as poor as Job’s turkey that leaned up against the barn to gobble and fish was an important item. We would bind two logs together for a boat and with a long pole get outside of the rocky point east of the Diamond Point Hotel, the late Coolidge place, here or most anywhere else we could pole this raft. Either one or two people during the early months of summer could catch in less than one hour all the fish — black bass, perch and sun fish (called Ring-Eyed Jonathans) a family could eat in two days. As soon as we could buy an old boat we would follow the fish out on the grass ground, 32 to 35 feet of water, where in August and September we could catch black bass up to seven pounds and perch, bullheads and eels in any quantity desired.” (Note…Orcutt went on to say that in 1854 or 1855, one night he speared the first Pickerel caught in Lake George. It got away from

him in the dark but was later found dead and it weighed 22 & 1/2 pounds. This man’s letter brings back fond memories. In the winter of 1957 I lived in Lake George on McGillis Avenue, not far from Birdie and Dave’s tavern down on the corner of Canada St. Often in the morning, too early for the patrons to be in, I would go down to the tavern and sit in a chair in the front window while Birdie bustled around to get ready for the evening crowd. There I had a panoramic view of the lake. I would watch the ice fishermen diligently pursuing their prey as they huddled over their tip-ups and small holes in the ice as the frigid cold wind whirled around them. Later on, one would occasionally come into the tavern to get warm and show off his fish and usually try to sell them. I heard many good fish stories in those days. Those were happy times!
Death came unexpectedly Sergeant Thomas McCarthy, 42, formerly of Wevertown, died at the home of his sister, Mrs. McDonald in Seattle, Wash., April 14, 1912 of injuries sustained on that day from the accidental discharge of a gun he was handling. For 17 years he was a member of the U.S. Marine Corps and he fought all through the Spanish American War. Mrs. Caroline Bennett, 70, a sister of Mrs. Dennis Weaver of Warrensburgh, died suddenly of heart failure May 8, 1912 at her home in Glens Falls. She was about the house during the day and in the evening called on a neighbor living on the lower floor of her home. She returned to her own rooms and was found the following morning by her son sitting in a chair, dead in her bedroom. She is survived by her husband, five daughters and five sons.

Letters to the Editor Campsite closures show APA, DEC are working against us To the Adirondack Journal: in his recent letter-to-the-editor, Don Sage is right on the money in calling for the abolition of the APA . The agency was founded by New York power elites bent on “saving” the Adirondacks for themselves, and is run with malevolence toward local people. They are succeeding in forcing the people out. But it’s not just the people. Since it suits their goals, the so-called environmentalists at the APA and the state Department of Environmental Conservation have succeeded in wiping out much of the biodiversity and decimating the deer population, thus hurting rifle-toting hunting guys whom they especially despise. This anti-human attitude did not dominate DEC’s predecessor 90 years ago. The New York State Conservation Commission reported to the state legislature in 1924 with numerous photos illustrating its achievements opening the forest preserve to the people’s enjoyment. A typical example shows a family camping with their automobile parked beside them, laundry hanging from tree to tree, with simple canopies and tables, at a big, open primitive campsite referred to as “a vacation home in the forest preserve.” The Conservation Commission wrote of the urgency of keeping up with the public demand for additional campsites. It described plans to provide more fireplaces, locate springs for good drinking water, and enlarge campsite areas enough to allocate fireplaces. Compare this with the Warrensburg-Lake Luzerne campsites on the Hudson River
where DEC recently closed around 100 beautiful, easily accessible camping areas, reporting to the APA with satisfaction there now are no more maintenance problems. Not one APA commissioner asked about the effect on the people who formerly enjoyed these campsites. In the 90-year-old Commission report, the officials spoke with pride of repairing fireplaces, keeping brush cleared, keeping signs in good condition and apprehending and fining a person who left a campsite filthy.

Always putting motorcyclists down To the Adirondack Journal: ‘Tis the season for motorcycling, and I plus many others like me polish the chrome and tinker on our motorcycles to prepare for a great season of riding on our roadways. But then we see things like the recent letter-to-the-editor titled “Many motorcycles are far too loud.” Well, the opinion expressed in the article ruffles my feathers. Did the author, J. P. Gitto, want a bike when he was younger and his parents said no? Who is he to say what is loud — trains are loud, but people like to hear them; and guns are loud, but people like to shoot them. Well, I love Harleys and love to hear them roar! As far as noise at a stop light, what one minute at a stop sign offends you, Mr. Gitto? Well get over it, we pay our taxes and pay for our bikes to be on these roads — So deal with it, we aren't going anywhere and my hog will roar ‘til the day I die, so keep it to yourself — because I'm sure we could find fault with something you do.

Seeds, planting tips available WARRENSBURG — There is still plenty of time to sprinkle some seeds in the ground —or in a pot or two — and enjoy a garden this spring and summer, according to agents at Cornell Cooperative Extension. With the seed kits available from the agency, people of all ages can have a healthy vegetable garden and add some herbs and flowers for good measure, an Extension agent said this week. A small garden is fin e— and it can be very productive, she said. A four-feetsquare space would provide a good amount of healthy fresh vegetables for salads over the summer. It’s as simple as pushing a few seeds into some good, light, soil in a sunny location, keeping the plants watered if it gets too hot or dry. All the directions for each type of vegetable, herb, or flower, are included in the seed kits. There are two varieties of seed kits available: Garden Vegetable Salad Kit with seeds for five vegetables, and the Herb and Flower Garden Kit, each for only $5. For details, call 623-3291 or stop by Monday through Thursday at the Extension office at 377 Schroon River Road. Sale of these seed kits helps support the CCE’s Master Gardener and 4-H programs.

The library has hosted many programs for youth and adults recently, including a Design a T-shirt Day, a workshop on decorating a bird house, and Sue Pierce's photo program for Earth Day — as well as the weekly story hour. This year ’s summer reading program is titled “Dream Big — Read" and will be partnering for various projects with the Lake George Youth Commission, the Tang Museum and the Council for Prevention. A treasure hunt planned for summer visitors will send them around the village and town seeking historic markers.

Over the garden gate Those who are house-bound and having problems getting their trash in the new orange dump bags to the landfill now have an option One of our Athol neighbors and his son will pick up filled bags on Saturdays for $5 a week and take them to the dump. Call Jim Desourdy at 623-4254 and let him know where you live. A gripe was called in this week concerning local issues — abolishing the posts of three elected assessors and converting to one assessor appointed by the town board, and another of authorizing more paid hours for personnel in the town clerk’s office. Hummingbirds came back to our area about a week early this year according to Cliff, our local ornithology expert. Memorial Day is being observed early this year. Before you make any plans for Monday, May 28, check to see if the places are open. The town of Thurman offices will be closed on the 28th. The real Memorial Day occurs on Wednesday May 30. People will be busy decorating the graves of their deceased loved ones. Remember that in Thurman and many other municipalities, trees cannot be planted in cemeteries because of wandering roots. For questions on Thurman cemeteries, call Marc at 623-9718. The town of Thurman has a position open on the Board of Assessment Review. Those interested in the position may send a letter of interest to Box 28, Athol, NY, 12810. There are also openings on the town planning committee. Those who are interested in devising the town’s future, send a letter to apply to serve on the panel.

Recalling the historic flash floods One year ago on Memorial Day weekend, Thurman was engulfed in raging floodwaters, with heavy rain like we had never seen before — plus furious winds. Small brooks became major rivers overflowing their banks, washing away bridges and culverts and stranding families for days. Virtu-

‘Bikes & Barbecue’ event launched in Lake George village By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Although there’s a lot of action occurring in Lake George during Americade’s annual week-long reign in Lake George village, the roster of events just got more crowded. Monday May 21, the village board approved a fourday “Bikes & Barbecue” enterprise to be held during Americade in the parking lot serving Duffy’s Tavern and Bella’s Deli. The Americade motorcycle rally annually attracts as many as 50,000 people to Lake George. Event organizer Linda Duffy said that Bikes & Barbecue would be held daily on Wednesday June 6 through Saturday June 9 — the final four days of Americade 2012. The four daily outdoor
events, set for noon to 9 p.m., are to feature live music, food and beer. The board unanimously approved the concept after hearing that the area for the barbecue would be fenced in, and participants wouldn’t be able to take alcoholic beverages onto nearby public sidewalks. Duffy predicted the event would be popular, particularly because a local beer distributor would be conducting the giveaway of a new Harley-Davidson motorcycle in conjunction with the venue. Other events approved this week by the village board were the annual Lake George tow truck show — to be held June 1 through 3 at the Fort William Henry Resort, and St. James Episcopal Church’s Hot Rod Happening on July 28 and 29 in the Beach Road parking lot. The church is renting to lot from the Village, but the board
voted to award the church a $1,000 grant of village Occupancy tax funds. The Lake George Music Festival, which draws hundreds of people from across the nation, also received a $1,000 grant. The board also voted to allow Amanda’s House charity to park cars, as a fundraiser, in the OTB parking lot during both the Adirondack Nationals Car Show and Americade rally. Village Mayor Robert Blais noted that the village is now hosting so many events that one is held every summer weekend — which may prompt scheduling problems for municipal venues. In other business, Blais said that a proposal for municipal insurance received from the McPhillips Agency reflected a 6 percent decrease in premiums, half of which was offset by an increase in coverage limits due
to increases in property valuations.
Skateboard park Also, the village trustees heard from Blais that the planned Village skateboard park was moving forward after a successful fundraiser and a productive meeting between professional skateboard park designers, local officials and area skateboard enthusiasts. Blais said that a recent benefit golf tournament at Cronin’s Golf Course had raised $4,000 — the best sum in years. He said that the village was contributing $50,000 to the skateboard park development, which is estimated to cost $150,000, and the town was to contribute $10,000. Blais said he expected the park to be designed over the next several weeks, with bids to be solicited late this summer, and construction to
to good working order. A meeting of the board to resolve fiscal year-end finances was scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 29.
begin as early as this fall. Also, Blais reported that two tourists got locked into the village Visitors Center on May 21 after closing time, and police had to rescue them from their imprisonment. Blais also reported the village had experienced a problem this week in the sewer pump station at Shepard Park. A valve on a defective pump was cracked and leaking, and had to be replaced. He said that two sewage tank trucks were then on duty, “babysitting” the pump station to prevent a mass sewage leak similar to a 2009 incident when thousands of gallons of sewage leaked into the lake due to a burst pipe and a malfunctioning backup system. Tuesday May 22, Town Clerk Darlene Gunther reported that a new valve had been installed and the sewer pump station was restored

Barbara Wilson recalled as enthusiastic, dedicated to the arts By Thom Randall

Barbara Wilson
CHESTERTOWN — Barbara Wilson, a woman who devoted years of her life enriching the lives of others in northern Warren County, passed away Friday May 18 at Glens Falls Hospital after fighting cancer for about three years. Whether it was establishing history or cultural programs, or organizing fundraisers, Wilson worked with dedication to make life in the North Country more fulfilling for all, her friends and as-

sociates recalled this week. For her work, she was honored in 2011 as north Warren Chamber of Commerce’s V.I.P. of the Year. Alma Alvarez, Director of the Town of Chester Library, observed that Wilson launched “History Alive,� a series of presentations and events over a weekend in 2005 celebrating veterans, and she organized the 2007 “Stitches in Time� quilt exhibit held at the North Warren High School. The History Alive concept was awarded as Program of the Year for 2005 by the Southern Adirondack Library System. “Barbara Wilson was one of the most prominent cultural influences in the area,� Alvarez said. “She was always a tremendous help in projects, volunteering to do menial dayto-day work.� Wilson delivered diligence with enthusiasm, Alvarez added. “Barbara was always very cheery, organized and superenthusiastic,� Alvarez said. For years, Wilson served as co-chair of the Friends of Chester Library, sharing the duties with her counterpart Mary Lou Smith. Smith said May 23 that Wilson was innovative in formulating new ideas for the Friends group in raising money for the Chester Library. “I was so impressed with her vigor, creativity and wit,� Smith said, recalling the enthusiasm with which Wilson tackled the History Alive programming. “Barbara was so talented.� Chester Supervisor Fred Monroe recalled how many years ago, Wilson had worked hard in community theater, particularly on a play in which he was an actor. “Barbara was very involved, dedicated and hardworking,� he said. “She was great to work with, and you could always count on her to help.� Also, Wilson helped facilitate a visit of Russian librarians

to the area in 2008. Wilson also served as a Charter member of the History Through Voices committee which created a local history audio program that is part of the Chester Library’s website. She was also active with the Chester Historical Society, assisting with publicity — a role she also performed on behalf of the Art in Chester Gallery. In recent years, Wilson’s artistic creativity took center stage, her friends recalled, as she developed considerable skill at the centuries-old art of chip carving — a northern European craft which she pursued with Dennis Wilson, her husband of 40-plus years. Wilson was a retired elementary teacher from Indian Lake Central School where she taught second and fourth grades. She and Dennis spent ten years teaching and living abroad before moving to the Adirondacks. A celebration of her life is planned for 7 p.m. Thursday, May 24 at Barton-McDermott Funeral Home Inc., 9 Pine St. in Chestertown. Relatives and friends are invited to call on family members there during the two prior hours. Memorial donations may be made to Friends of the Library, P.O.

Safe Boating Saves Lives Every year, recreational boaters take to the waterways to soak up some sun and have fun on the water. Too often, however, recreational boating trips turn tragic, resulting in injury or even death. According to the United States Coast Guard, in 2009 there were more than 4,700 recreational boating accidents. Those accidents involved nearly 750 deaths. Perhaps most telling, only 14 percent of those deaths occurred on boats where the operator had received boating safety instruction. The importance of precautionary measures when boating is immeasurable, and boaters should heed the following safety advice whenever taking to the water, be it in the ocean or on a nearby lake or river.
especially mindful of the weather when planning a boating trip. The National Weather Service provides daily boatLQJ UHSRUWV DV ZHOO DV IRUHFDVWV IRU WKH $WODQWLF DQG 3DFLÂżF oceans and the Gulf of Mexico. Sailors should consult these reports before leaving the dock.
through. Test all life jackets for wear and buoyancy at least once per year, and discard any life jackets that are waterslogged, leaky or faded. Keep extra life jackets aboard just to be safe. * Protect yourself and passengers from carbon monoxide. Exposure to CO is possible inside and outside the boat. Install a CO detector on the boat and maintain it properly, including checking it before sailing season begins to make sure it’s still functioning properly. It’s especially important to protect yourself and your passengers from CO, as the symptoms of CO exposure are similar to those of seasickness and alcohol intoxication. But prolonged exposure to low concentrations of CO or quick exposure to high concentrations can be fatal.
* Make sure all boat passengers know how to swim. Surviving a capsized boat is never easy, but it’s nearly impossible for passengers who don’t know how to swim. Make sure all passengers know how to swim before heading out to sea. If it’s been awhile since you have taken to the water, refresh your memory with a swimming course and make sure passengers are physically capable of swimming.
* Do not consume alcohol while operating a boat. The USCG notes that alcohol is the leading contributing factor in fatal boating accidents.

* Don’t allow swimmers near the boat’s exhaust pipe. Part of the fun of sailing is allowing passengers to take a dip or a swim when the boat has stopped moving. However, never let swimmers swim or wade near the engine’s exhaust pipe. Exhaust from a boat’s engine can be a deadly source of CO. Keep swimmers in sight at all times.

Doing so and then checking fuel levels upon return can also help boat owners determine if there are any fuel consumption issues, which are often indicative of an engine thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not performing at its peak.
Oil Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also good to top off oil before heading out on the water and then checking oil levels upon oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return. Boats with 4-stroke motors consume very small amounts of oil, so if such boats are consuming large amounts of oil during each trip thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely something wrong with the engine.

Hull and Engine Cases The boat hull and engine cases should be inspected for damage or signs of corrosion before heading out on the water.

This will save boaters the trouble of discovering problems on the next trip, which may put that trip in jeopardy.
Propeller The propeller should show no signs of damage. A damaged propeller can cause a host of problems, including stranding boaters on the water.

Baseball Lake George 4, Fort Ann 2 CASTLETON, Vt. — On May 18, the Warriors won the Adirondack League title by edging Fort Ann; Connor McCoy delivered a strong effort on the mound to key the Warriors’ win. It was Fort Ann’s first loss of the season. The game marked the third consecutive time that the teams met in the title tilt. Bolton 14, North Warren 10 BOLTON — On May 18, Bolton pitcher Mitchell Jordon earned a complete game win. Jordon, Alex Maxam and Sean Donohue each tallied three hits for the winners; Jacob Hill had two doubles for the losing side. Fort Ann 6, Lake George 5 FORT ANN — The Cardinals secured the win in the bottom of the seventh after a wild Warrior rally in a May 17 preview of the Adirondack League title tilt. Connor McCoy helped key the Warriors’ offense with a homer and a double. North Warren 10, Hartford 7 HARTFORD — North Warren’s Robert French enjoyed a monster day on May 17, tallying five hits and three RBIs and scoring three runs to lead his team over Hartford. Kristian Seeley helped the winning squad’s cause with three hits and
Wood Park from page 1 Village board formally approved an agreement with the Charles R. Wood Foundation to name the venue after the legendary man in exchange for a donation of $750,000 — to be paid over several years. Lake George Village Mayor Robert Blais said that the foundation officials, members of the Wood family, were willing to allow features in the park’s festival grounds, like the playground area, to bear separate designations if other individuals or enterprises contributed toward them. He also said the Foundation may be open to further donations toward the park’s development. In related business at the May 21 village meeting, the board approved a land swap with the Lake George Steamboat Co. and and Fort William Henry Corp. to allow development of a formal entranceway to the park’s festival grounds. The agreement had taken several years to negotiate.
Park ownership spurs debate Also, Blais reported that ownership of the

Bolton 3, Argyle 2 BOLTON — Sophomore pitcher Alex Maxam shut down the Argyle offense and the Eagles had just enough offense of their own to escape with their first win in Adirondack League play on May 16. Sean Donohue led the way for Bolton at the plate with two hits. Salem 8, Warrensburg 1 WARRENSBURG — The Generals bewitched the Burghers on May 16 to improve to 13-2 on the season. The Burghers fell to 9-7 with the loss. Lake George 7, Corinth 0 CORINTH — The Tomahawks were blunted by the Warriors on May 16 as the Warriors secured the Adirondack League’s West Division crown and the right to play Fort Ann for the overall league championship. Connor McCoy threw a complete game and added two hits for the winners, and Cameron Scott contributed two hits. The Warriors improved to 12-3 in league play with the win. Warrensburg 5, North Warren 2 CHESTERTOWN — Justin Baird earned a complete game win, Lucas Nelson helped key the Burghers’ offense, and North Warren improved to 9-6 in league play on May 14. Ethan Schenke had two hits for the hard-luck North Warren nine. Hadley-Luzerne 2, Bolton 1 LAKE LUZERNE — The Eagles clipped the other Eagles
park was the subject of much debate among its owners: Warren County, the town of Lake George and the Village. He said that county supervisors — faced with a new proposal for one-third ownership for each municipality — had taken a straw vote, and indicated support for abandoning their share of the project and turning it over entirely to the town and village. Blais warned that such a move could cause problems with state grants, as the county had served as lead agency in the development project. “It would be extremely difficult to move the project forward if the county got out,” he said. Blais added that with a 50-50 town/village ownership, the cost to the town to buy out the county’s share was calculated at $1.2 million, and the cost to the village — which now owns 38 percent —would be about $250,000. He said county supervisors were convening June 5 to discuss park ownership. “Stay tuned,” he said. “The meeting will be interesting.”

Softball Whitehall 12, North Warren 1 Bolton 8, North Warren 1 BOLTON — It was another frustrating afternoon in a season full of ’em for the hard-luck North Warren Cougars: The squad dropped a pair of games on May 18 and finished the regular season with a 1-15 record. Fort Ann 8, Lake George 2 FORT ANN — Fort Ann defeated the Warriors on May 17 to improve to 12-4 on the year. Amy Sander and Kenzie Baerstchi paced the 13-3 Warriors’ offense with two hits apiece. Lake George 18, Corinth 5 CORINTH — Lake George lassoed the Adirondack League’s West Division championship on May 14 by pasting Corinth. Alex Cone tallied two RBIs for the winners. Bolton 9, Hadley-Luzerne 6 LAKE LUZERNE — The Eagles flew a little higher than the other Eagles on May 14. Sarah Calzada had two hits for the winners as Bolton improved to 4-9 on the season. Warrensburg 17, North Warren 5 CHESTERTOWN — Warrensburg whipped the hard-luck North Warren nine on May 14. Kerrigan Roth led the way for the winners with four hits. Gabrielle Needham had two hits for North Warren.
The West Brook environmental project and festival grounds in Lake George village formally got a new name this week as an agreement was made with the Charles Wood Foundation to name the development ‘Charles R. Wood Park’ in exchange for a $750,000 donation. Meanwhile, county, village and town officials debated future ownership of the park after county supervisors, in a straw vote taken May 18, indicated they wanted to turn it over to the local municipalities. The concept concerns Lake George Mayor Robert Blais, who said such an ownership change might disrupt grant funding. Photo by Thom Randall

Train travelers from page 1
Weekend retreat Travelers can leave New York City at breakfast time and be in North Creek by mid-afternoon Friday through Monday. And they can leave North Creek after lunch and be back in New York City by bedtime. Layovers of six to seven hours are also available for those who want to spend time exploring Saratoga Springs. New York City to North Creek: Departs New York Cityʼs Penn Station at 8:15 a.m. on the Adirondack and arrives in North Creek on the Adirondack Limited (Friday-Monday) at 2:34 p.m. Travelers can also choose to spend the afternoon in Saratoga Springs before taking the Hudson Explorer (Friday-Monday) to North Creek; the layover would be from 11:57 a.m. to 7 p.m., arriving in North Creek at 9:09 p.m. North Creek to New York City: Departs North Creek at 1 p.m. on the Adirondack Limited (Friday-Monday) and arrives in New York Cityʼs Penn Station at 8:40 p.m. on the Adirondack. Those leaving North Creek can also take the New York Express at 7 a.m. (Friday-Monday) and would have a layover in Saratoga Springs between 9:12 a.m. and 3:48 p.m.
Representatives from Warren County promoted the Lake George and Gore Mountain regions Thursday, May 17 at the annual New York By Rail event at Penn Station in New York City.

travel option.” The old-time standard of vacationing in one resort for two weeks, a month or an entire summer is history. In the tourism business, promoters now talk about the “hub and spoke” theory. Some call it making a “base camp.” Travelers stay in one or two spots during shorter stays and “spoke
out” to see attractions throughout a region. And Warren County Tourism officials want to make sure they see as much of this corner of the Adirondack Park as possible before heading back to the Big Apple. “We want people to know there is life beyond Albany,” Brand said.
Working on behalf of National Grid, Rick Daigle installs energy efficient light fixtures May 3 in Warrensburg’s Emerson Town Hall. The town expects to save money for years to come, as the new lighting consumes far less electricity.
Mid-week travel Those going back and forth between New York City and North Creek can do so daily; however, the schedules donʼt work for through traffic on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday with connections between Saratoga Springs and North Creek. For example, New York City travelers can arrive in Saratoga Springs daily at 11:57 a.m. and 9:15 p.m. But there is only one daily train from Saratoga to North Creek, departing at 10 a.m. and arriving at 12:09 p.m. Those leaving New York City on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday would have to spend the night in Saratoga Springs and catch a train to North Creek the following day.

Saratoga and North Creek Railway, Whitewater Challengers, Hudson River Rafting and the Gore Mountain Ski Center. Plus, there were representatives from Warren County Tourism and the Lake George Regional Chamber of Commerce & Convention and Visitors Bureau. “That was a good turnout for us,” said Warren County Tourism Group Tour Promoter Tanya Brand, who said they were able to create their own Warren County space at Penn Station to promote the region. Brand said many train hoppers recognized Lake George and other small communities in Warren County. By mid-day, they had given out the 600 travel guides they brought. Some Penn Station travelers were surprised that there’s direct train service to North Creek through Saratoga Springs. “They said, ‘Oh, I didn’t realize I could take Amtrak direct to Saratoga,’” Brand said, adding that there was a lot of interest in the Saratoga and North Creek Railway. “That was something new to talk about.” Now that there is railroad service to North Creek on a regular basis — which is key for train-savvy travelers in New York City, where many people don’t own cars — transportation in Warren County must be addressed. Although the North Creek Business Alliance is working with businesses to establish transportation around the town of Johnsburg, Warren County Tourism officials say more needs to be done for train tourists who want to see nearby sights in other parts of the county, including Lake George. “We really need to start thinking about rental cars,” Brand said. “I think it’s an important step to make Amtrak a viable

n 1624, a Jesuit priest traveling through the Dismal Wilderness of the Adirondack region claimed his experience with the demons of the north was, “The worst martyrdom I have ever suffered in this country.” Although customs have certainly changed over the past 350 years, blackflies continue to haunt the vast howling wilderness of the North Woods. In many locations the blackflies have been particularly troublesome this season, and yet in other areas they have been seemingly non-existant. The little black devils have not been as charming as usual, but nobody seems to be complaining. While the bad bugs have not proven to be as troublesome as usual, the usual mayfly hatches have been prolific this season, and trout have been responsive, particularly on the West Branch of the Ausable River, where a host of anglers recently enjoyed a friendly and gentlemanly competition while participating in the 13th Annual Two Fly Contest this past weekend. This popular annual event matches anglers from across the northeast with a fishing partner and they work the river in tandem. Awards are based on the total length of all fish taken over the course of two days of fishing. The anglers measure and account for their own catch on an honor system. It is a gentleman's agreement in a gentlemanly pursuit, and no victory is without honor. Their total catch is unlimited of course, as there is a requirement that all fish must be released unharmed after being measured. However, the angler's flies are not unlimited, which makes their knots all the more important. Each angler begins the event with just two chosen flies in their possession, which they can fish wherever and whenever they like, from sunrise to sunset. If the two flies
A brook trout weighing 5.85 pounds has been certified by the Warrensburg DEC office, breaking Daniel Germain’s record caught in South Lake in June of 2011 by one ounce. The previous record was a 5 pound, 41/2 ounce brookie taken from Racquette Lake on June 7, 2009 by Tom Yacovella, pictured above.
are lost on a fish, or a snag or even to a poor knot, the angler is out of the competition. This year, competitors enjoyed nearly ideal river conditions, which were far removed from the flood-level waters they encountered last year on the Ausable. The river was in great shape, and although a bright sun chased them downriver all day, the total take was impressive, with several anglers topping over 300 combined inches of fish. That computes to landing more than 30, 10-inch fish or more than 15, 20-inch trout in just two days of fishing. The top angler claimed he was using a Montana nymph fly throughout the event. While it is obvious that the streams and rivers have been producing quite well, the reports coming in from the ponds and lakes have likewise been promising, with stories of anglers taking numerous big lake trout, large splake and even a potential new state record brook trout. The brook trout, which was presented to NTSDEC biologists at the Region 5 Warrensburg Office, was a 21 1/4inch fish which weighed 5.85 pounds. Reportedly, the catch was taken from a pond in the West Canada Lake Wilderness Area in early May. It has already been certified as a brook trout by the Warrensburg Office, which forwarded it along to the DEC's Central Office in Albany for verification as a state record. If the big fish is certified in Albany, at a weight of 5.85 pounds, it will eclipse the current state record brook trout record of 5.8 pounds by just about an ounce. The current record was set by Daniel Germain in South Lake, Herkimer County in June of 2011. The previous state record was taken by Tom Yacovella from Racquette Lake on June 7, 2009. It weighed 5 pounds, 4-1/2 ounces. It appears a new brook trout state record has been established on a regular basis in recent years. Ever since the historic state record brookie of 7-pounds 4-ounces from Punchbowl Pond in Sullivan County was expunged from the record book in 2000. A new, modern day brook trout record was finally set in 2004, with a 4-pound-2 ounce specimen, and a new standard has been established almost every season since that time. With the size increasingly bumping up the record every season, I expect the new record will eventually settle in the range of 6 pounds or better. I believe there are a lot of big fish out there, and the eventual state record brookie is more likely to come from a big lake,rather than a small pond. Brook trout can be found in many of the large Adriondack lakes including Cranberry, Raquette, Blue Mountain, and Lake Placid. These bigger lakes provide a greater forage base, especially for bait fish such as smelt, and in such places where trout have a greater potential to grow.

pring has arrived in the North Country, trees are leafing, daffodils are blooming and that means it’s spawning time on Lake Champlain. Want to catch the bass of a lifetime? Well now is the time. Pre-spawn means the spring feed is on and the big mommy bass are heading for their beds. But before they start their yearly By Howard Hammonds mating, they will be cruising and feeding. So, what should you look for? Look for shallow flats or shoals with plenty of boulder rocks and a clean, hard bottom. Many of these areas are marked on a good lake map. Bass will be looking for crawfish to fatten up on from a long winter of near fasting. But, they will be spooky. Roaming in 4 to 6 feet of water on sunny days they will be easy to spot. Catching them can be difficult though. Since the water is near gin clear they can see you if you can see them. Stealth is the key. Use your trolling motor to sneak along the bank keeping the boat in 7 to 9 feet of water. The following are a couple of proven techniques used by tournament pros that can be deadly this time of year. Dead Sticking a wacky rigged Senko is probably the most productive technique this time of year, but it requires patience. Use a medium-action spinning rod, 8pound test line and a number-one finesse hook. Tie the hook to your line with no weight. Hook a five-inch Senko in the middle, halfway between each end. Leave your hook point exposed. This may be a strange looking rig to the novice, but you’ll soon learn how deadly it can be. Make a long cast in about four feet of water around a patch of boulders or near any cruising bass you see. Close your bail and just let the Senko slowly sink. Don’t move the lure for at least 20 to 30 seconds. No bite? Lift your rod tip to 11 o’clock and wind down to pick up the slack. Wait again, let the Senko drift. Watch your line and feel for the telltale tick or just a heavy feeling. When you sense a bite don’t jerk — wind quickly., taking up slack until you feel the fish — then set the hook. Keep working the area slowly and quietly. A second deadly technique is to burn a crank bait or a medium (3/8th ounce) spinner bait. A chop on the water or a medium breeze really helps this technique. Using the same stealth boat position make long casts at a 45 degree angle to the bank. Most anglers will use a medium retrieve. Instead, try cranking your lure as fast as you can. The best reel to accomplish this is one with a 6 /1 gear ratio. The purpose of the fast retrieve is to imitate a fleeing baitfish and trigger a reaction strike. Hold on tight because when a fish attacks your offering we use the term getting you’re “arm broke.” It’s important that your lure be tuned not to roll. If yours is rolling to the surface, take a pair of needle nose pliers and gently bend the line tie in the opposite direction of the roll. Don’t over bend. Recast and tune again if necessary. Soon the mommas and poppas will start bedding which is the time to leave them alone and get your tackle ready for the next phase — the post spawn. That will only be a few days away and the subject of my next column.
