Michaels recalled fondly

This This Week Week LAKE GEORGE

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com

BOLTON Ñ John H. Michaels, a prominent residential developer in the region, died as the result of a boating accident on Lake George the night of Friday May 23 Ñ and friends and relatives recalled him fondly on Tuesday.

Along with his brother J. David Michaels, John Michaels was co-owner of The Michaels Group, a leading home-building enterprise in the region.

John Michaels, 57, was renowned for his philanthropy as well as for building more than 10,000 homes in 50 communities from Capital District north to Lake George over the last 30 years.

Michaels lived in the town of Bolton with his wife Sheila and their children. He served the community as a member of the town Zoning Board of Appeals.

Michaels was also known as an experienced pilot, volunteering for Angel Flight, which flies patients including children with urgent medical needs to remote hospitals for life-saving treatment.

Also, Michaels and his family members made frequent trips to Guatemala to build schools and to monitor the impact of their substantial donations to health clinics that provide care for the impoverished Mayan communities there.

LAKE GEORGE Ñ Fort William Henry will be offering ghost tours this spring, summer and fall seasons in an attempt to incorporate the FortÕ s vast history with the paranormal activity they have recorded. Ò There is such a history here,Ó said Mechylle Ham-

mond, tour executive. Ò With some of that history comes a feeling of great sadness.Ó The sadness that Hammond eluded to most notably encompasses the massacre that occurred at the Fort during the French and Indian War in the late 1750Õ s. There are many theories on the massacre as dramatized by the motion picture Ò The Last Of The Mohicans,Ó the most widely accepted version of the

story reads as such: Fort William Henry housed approximately 2,300 British soldiers and families with an additional war time hospital treating about 700 sick and injured. The French planned a large scale offensive in combination with native Ottawa, Abenaki and Potawatomi Indian tribes to siege Fort William Henry and force the BritCONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Lake George Associations’ Floating Classroom earns national merit keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA/LAKE GEORGE Ñ A program that gives students the chance to learn about aquatic sciences by getting onto the water has won a national award.

The Floating Classroom, run by the Lake George Association, has won a 2014 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Environmental Quality Award. The award was presented during ceremonies held April 23. Ò ItÕ s just very exciting to have been working on this project for so long and to receive a recognition like this for it,Ó said Kristen Rohne, Education Coordinator for LGA. The Environmental Quality Award is the highest recognition presented to the public by the EPA. Each year, the EPA recognizes individuals, businesses, government agencies, environmental and community-based organizations and members of the media in EPA Region 2 who have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to protecting and enhancing environmental quality and public health. Ò We are so honored to be selected as a recipient for this prestigious award,Ó said Walt Lender, LGA Executive Director. Ò We

are lucky here at Lake George to have such an amazing resource right here in our own backyard. For over 129 years the LGA has been working to protect the Lake, and creating the next generation of stewards through our Floating Classroom program for

over 20 years is a privilege.Ó Rohne said the theory behind the floating classroom is to allow children the chance to have hands-on experiences with science and Lake George. Ò It gets the kids outside and making the connections to the science that we are talking about,Ó Rohne said.

Created in the early 1990s, the Floating Classroom has evolved over the years as the needs of the Lake have changed. Ò When Asian clam was found in the Lake in the fall of 2010, we updated the program to teach participants about the clams, what they looked like, and what to do if they think they saw one,Ó said Emily DeBolt, LGA Outreach Coordinator. Ò Over 6,200 participants have learned about Asian clam since then aboard the boat.Ó DeBolt was in charge of education programming at the LGA, including the Floating Classroom until last year, with Rohne now taking the reigns. Ò Every year we get more interest from schools,Ó Rohne said. Ò We started with local schools and now we have them coming in from the Albany area.Ó Since 1997, The Floating Classroom has educated over 21,000 participants and the Program set its record for the number of participants in 2013 at 2,228.

After spring school field trips are over, the LGA program offers trips for area residents and visitors during the summer.

Pending Warren County ethics law to be reviewed soon

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY Ñ Warren CountyÕ s proposed ethics law, intended to curb conflict of interest among county employees, will likely be receiving scrutiny in upcoming weeks as itÕ s pending adoption prompted an array of questions recently among county supervisors and the public.

The proposed county Code of Ethics & Disclosure Law is to be reviewed by the county Legislative & Rules Committee Monday June 9 after being tabled by the full county Board of Supervisors May 17.

The law would establish a county Board of Ethics that would monitor the conduct of its employees and elected leaders. The board would review and investigate allegations of ethics breaches and conflicts of interest, as well as hold hearings on the incidences Ñ and report findings to county officials.

The Ethics Board would also review and monitor financial disclosure statements, which are now required of all public officials, members of boards, county department managers, agency officials and county employees with decision-making power. The Ethics Board monitor compliance with the law.

Although the proposed law is 37 pages long, citizen activist Travis Whitehead and others questioned whether the law was specific enough to truly prevent conflicts of interest. Ò We all appreciate the mom-and-apple-pie statements that are included, but they may not help in the event legal action needs to be taken,Ó Whitehead told county supervisors at their May meeting, noting that other counties have laws in place that are less verbose. Ò ThereÕ s a lot of good stuff in here, but some provisions are vague and may be difficult to enforce — A lot of jargon makes the law less clear.Ó Whitehead also said that the law should call for an independent attorney to investigate sus-

pected ethics violations rather than the county Attorney, as specified in the pending law. He noted that itÕ s the county AttorneyÕ s primary duty to represent the supervisors.

Town of Chester Supervisor Fred Monroe questioned whether some aspects of the law were really enforceable. He observed that one provision prohibited county employees or their family members from even contemplating to engage in an enterprise that would conduct business with the county.

He also questioned whether the existing state public officers’ ethics law would suffice in Warren County. Ò Why do we need a separate local ethics

law?Ó he asked. Ô We have a state law already.Ó Monroe said it would be difficult to evaluate whether a person was truly intending to improperly influence a public official or county employee.

“It’s difficult to determine motivation,” he said. Ò If someone gave one of us a piece of gum, weÕ d have to turn it down.Ó The public hearing on the proposed law is to be resumed at the Board of SupervisorsÕ June 20 meeting.

If approved by the board, public hearings would be held on the proposed law later this year after it is endorsed by the county Board of Supervisors.

Continued from page 1 Michaels, his family members, Michaels Group employees and his colleagues were leading donors to Glens Falls Hospital, the Glens Falls Family YMCA, Albany Medical Center, St. PeterÕ s Hospital ALS Center, Habitat for Humanity, and Ronald McDonald House of Albany.

Town of Bolton Supervisor Ron Conover offered his thoughts Tuesday on MichaelsÕ passing. Ò John was a wonderful man, and he will be sorely missed,Ó Conover said. Ò His philanthropic work was just tremendous, as well as his substantial accomplishments in building communities.Ó Conover added that Michaels touched many lives in profound ways. Ò John Michaels always had a smile on his face Ñ his approach to things was wonderful,Ó he said. Ò I canÕ t say enough about him Ñ this is a terrible loss to all Ñ and the community extends heartfelt condolences to his family.Ó Mark Grimm, former board member of the town of Guilderland, reported Tuesday that many hundreds of people attended his wake, which was held for four hours Tuesday afternoon at Singleton Sullivan Potter Funeral Home

www.adirondackjournal.com in Queensbury. Ò This is an amazing outpouring of support for a great man and family,Ó he said, noting that there was a two-hour waiting line at the wake. Ò John was the best role model for civic leadership Ñ the gold standard Ñ Integrity in business, personally involved in charitable work, and able to inspire everyone he met,Ó Grimm continued. Ò He has left his lasting imprint on so many who admired him.Ó Michaels had been alone in the 21-foot Steiger speedboat when he crashed into rocks and trees on the shoreline near Cotton Point and suffered massive trauma, State Police said in a prepared statement. Authorities reported that the crash might have been due to a medical condition.

Michaels was taken to Glens Falls Hospital by the Bolton Emergency Squad, where he was pronounced dead soon after the incident, which occurred just after 10 p.m.

As of early this week, the State Police and officers of the state Department of Environmental Conservation were continuing their investigation into the crash, and an autopsy was pending.

John and David Michaels began their careers in residential development in Colorado, but returned to the Capital Region in the early 1980s to join their father James in home-building. Together, they formed The Michaels Group.

John and David served as the firm’s managing partners. JohnÕ s son Luke is vice president of the enterprise.

David is taking on his brotherÕ s responsibilities, according to the statement issued on behalf of the firm and the Michaels family. Ò We learned from our Dad that our foremost responsibility was to meet all our commitments and strive to exceed our customersÕ expectations,Ó David Michaels said. Ò JohnÕ s death is a heartbreaking loss to our family, co-workers, and so many friends. We will carry on in his name with the same dedication to excellence and integrity.Ó State Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury), recalled how John Michaels was influential in economic development efforts in the early 2000s as Chairman of the Warren County Economic Development Corp. He also said MichaelsÕ local developments enhanced their host towns. Ò John achieved a lot of business success personally, but he contributed so much towards others,Ó Stec said. Ò He had a healthy, positive attitude toward everything he did, and he donated so much of his time and talents. He had a very respected voice in the community, and his passing is a very big loss for the area.Ó

Some 8,000 troops took to the fort, 3,000 regular soldiers, 3,000 militia and 2,000 native Americans. The fighting lasted four days resulting in the British relinquishing their weapons, surrendering and retreating from the Fort. As British soldiers marched from the Fort with their sick and injured the Indians continued the assault of the troop. Casualties of this offensive are an estimate of 200 with another 300 captured. Ò In the area known as the hospital we see a lot of activity,Ó said Hammond. Ò There are no smoke and mirrors here, there are times when we see a lot of activity and times when we donÕ t see much. We see a lot of activity surrounding the times of the massacre in August.Ó In the past, several paranormal teams including SyFyÕ s Ghost Hunters have visited the Fort and investigated the activity reported by the staff.

Adirondack Journal Editorial

Supervisors: Accept the bid!

T

here is a right way to conduct business and a wrong way. The way in which the Essex County Board of Supervisors handled the bid from Keeseville businessman George Moore following the recent county tax auction was the wrong way.

For background, George Moore attended the April 30 county tax auction and in good faith bid $49,500 for a cluster of four parcels that once held the popular Frontier Town theme park in North Hudson. The theme park has sat vacant for years, slowly disappearing into the Adirondack wilderness, and taxes have not been paid on the four parcels since 2006.

Moore already owns the large A-frame structure at the entrance of the defunct park, for which taxes are fully paid, and his intent was to purchase the adjoining 88-acres for possible future development of a campground or summer camp.

What happened following the auction is what truly has us puzzled. During a May 12 committee meeting, county supervisors voted 17-0 to reject MooreÕ s bid and instead accept a $60,000 offer made on behalf of the town of North Hudson by Supervisor Ronald Moore.

Supervisor Moore said county officials had discussed not accepting a bid on the former theme park of less than $146,000, the amount of back taxes owed, and said the 88-acres has considerable value to his town Ñ possibly as a business park Ñ because the small community has virtually no private property available for development.

In our opinion, the supervisor should be commended for his forward thinking, but the sequence of events that led to his offer was completely flawed.

First, if the town were truly interested in the parcel, why not put a representative at the tax sale to bid alongside everyone else? Since the parcels had been seized by the county for back taxes, and therefore by default owned by county taxpayers, wouldnÕ t it be in the best interest of those taxpayers to receive as much as possible for the properties through competitive bidding?

Sure, county supervisors reserve the right to reject any bid. But in this case they then turned around and totally undermined the bidding process by okaying what, on the surface, appears to be an insider deal with North Hudson.

Supervisors owe it to the taxpayers and to bidders at future tax auctions to conduct these auctions in a fair and transparent manner, otherwise, it will affect how people bid at future auctions.

Secondly, other than a few conversations during previous meetings, we see no record of a minimum bid ever being posted on these parcels.

A cursory glance through the material provided

May 31, 2014

to bidders Ñ including George Moore Ñ shows no mention of a minimum bid. We presume this would be the basis of the lawsuit George is threatening Ñ one that supervisors would no doubt spend thousands more in taxpayer dollars defending.

And, even if this unpublished minimum bid truly does exist, the offer on the table from North Hudson comes nowhere near the $146,000 owed in back taxes.

At the same time, placing these parcels in municipal ownership would remove them from both the county and town tax rolls. As much as county supervisors love to bemoan raising taxes, it baffles us that they would want to remove properties with a full market value of $568,900 from the tax rolls.

Finally, Ronald Moore may have the best of intentions, but this property has proven to be an albatross for the private owners who have invested in it, which is why the county is in this pickle with back taxes in the first place. So, why should residents of the town and county believe it can suddenly be converted into the Silicon Valley of the North Country?

It is a super location with great ingress and egress to I-87, but there are a lot of similar locations in the Adirondacks that, like the former Wild West park, contain more tumble weeds than business growth. A look at the dozens of unoccupied industrial parks inside the Blue Line is testament to that.

Perhaps the residents of North Hudson should be given the opportunity to vote on the purchase prior to it taking place.

George Moore has been criticized by some for not developing the one Frontier Town parcel he owns and allowing it to fall further and further into disrepair. In his defense, however, he owned just a small piece of the pie and it now appears he is making an effort to restore the property to something that will benefit the town. We believe he should be given the opportunity to do so.

History has shown the odds of a successful businessman Ñ who pays his taxes, by the way Ñ redeveloping a parcel into an endeavor that will benefit the entire region are far greater than a government entity doing so.

In an effort to avoid litigation, George Moore has now offered $5,000 more for Frontier Town than North Hudson did. The board of supervisors is aligned to potentially vote on the matter during its June 3 regular board meeting.

It is time they clean up this ethical quandary, and accept the bid offered by George Moore. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden One Hundred Years Ago May, 1914 Historic building in flames

Aiden Lair Lodge, Michael F. CroninÕ s famous resort for sportsmen, located near Hewitt Lake, midway between Minerva and Newcomb, was destroyed by fire Saturday afternoon, May 16, 1914. The loss is estimated at $12,000 with an insurance of only $4,000. Nothing was saved from the building and a large quantity of new furniture valued at $1,000 which had just been received and was lying unpacked on the veranda was also destroyed.

Mr. Cronin suffered a nervous breakdown several weeks ago and his mind became so seriously affected that he was committed to the state hospital for the insane at Ogdensburg. He is reported to be in a hopeless condition and is said to be failing so rapidly that his death is expected soon.

After her husbandÕ s departure, Mrs. Cronin assumed the management of the hotel and conducted it successfully with the assistance of her son, Arthur and maiden daughter, Rose.

On Saturday, she had ten guests but all were away fishing at the time of the fire, which was discovered about 2 o’clock by the small children of the family who were playing in the yard. They saw smoke issuing from the roof and ran into the house and told their mother. She ran up the stairs and found the second and third floors of the building in flames. Through the suffocating smoke she managed to reach the telephone and summon help from Minerva, seven miles away. An auto truck carrying fifty men started as soon as possible for that place but when they arrived the hotel was doomed and all they could do was protect the nearby buildings. A large ice house had caught fire before their arrival and was also totally destroyed.

The fire is believed to have started from an overheated stove in the barroom. It had gained considerable headway when discovered and the heat quickly became so intense that it was impossible to approach the building to save any of its contents.

The trunks and clothing of the guests were destroyed in their rooms.

The hotel was a three story frame building of handsome design, with accommodations for sixty guests. It was built more than 15 years ago in the heart of fishing and hunting country and was well patronized by wealthy sportsmen. Mrs. Cronin states that Aiden Lair will be rebuilt.

(Note Ð Mike Cronin was married to Lil Butler, daughter of the owners of the Sagamore Hotel in Long Lake and in 1893 the CroninÕ s bought the Aiden Lair property. The name is said to mean Ò Heaven of RestÓ in the Scottish dialect and another theory says it means, Ò A place for Wild Beasts.Ó The lodge was rebuilt on the east side of the Minerva Ð Newcomb Road after the 1914 fire burned the original structure on the opposite side of the road. The intriguing story of Mike Cronin can be found in this column in the April 5, 2014 Adirondack Journal. He won considerable fame by driving Theodore Roosevelt from Aiden Lair to the North Creek railroad station when President McKinley was shot while Teddy Roosevelt was on a hunting trip in the woods. The drive was made in record time, killing two horses. Cronin died June 10, 1914 in an insane asylum in Ogdensburg. Lil Cronin died in 1954 and her son, Arthur died in 1956. Although some sources say Cronin had eight daughters, I can only find a record of Rose, who died in 1960. In 2003 there were plans to tear down the Ò newÓ Aiden Lair lodge.)

Maxwell ran down by auto stage

Orson R. Wilsey, while enjoying a spin in his Maxwell touring car on the Glens Falls- Lake George Road, accompanied by his wife, Stella and little son, Charles, was ran into by Miller BrothersÕ Glens Falls and Bolton automobile stage. Nobody was hurt and neither machine was seriously damaged, but Orson had the scare of his life.

Mr. Wilsey stated that he was coming toward home and just before he rounded the turn near the intersection of the Luzerne Road, stopped by the roadside for a minute. While his machine was standing still, as far out of the road as a railing would permit, the heavy auto stage, well loaded with passengers, rounded the turn bound in the opposite direction. Being on an upgrade, fortunately, the big machine was going slow. The chauffeur, Mr. Wilsey asserts, was giving his attention to a woman sitting beside him and was not looking at the road, consequently did not see the auto ahead of him. He was completely oblivious to the frantic toots of Mr. WilseyÕ s horn and stentorian shouts until he was close upon him. It was then too late to entirely avoid a collision, though a quick turn prevented a head-on contact.

The Wilsey machine was considerably damaged although the owner was able to run it home. The blame was clearly upon the Glens Falls chauffeur but all the satisfaction he gave was the remark, roughly framed, that the touring car should have been out of the road. Mr. Wilsey is justly indignant and there may to more to this story later on. (Note Ð Orson R. Wilsey was in the grocery and meat business and owned a store on the corner of Main and First streets. He died in 1946.)

Christian fortitude

Mrs. Electa Holcomb Thompson, 63, died April 9, 1914 at North Creek in the Town of Johnsburgh and she lived most of her life in the home where she died.

For a number of years, since the death of her husband and daughter, she had been tenderly cared for by the family of Frank Randall, who occupied the old homestead. She was called upon to suffer severely during her last illness but she showed great patience and Christian fortitude. She was a faithful member of the Free Baptist Church.

Machines collide

Deputy Sheriff Lewis H. Mosher, of Warren County, was instantly killed Friday night, May 22, 1914 when the automobile he was driving collided with another machine driven by Eugene King, Proprietor of the Arlington Hotel in Hadley.

The accident was caused by errors in judgment on the part of both drivers, neither of them turning out enough when they were to pass each other. The collision occurred near the Ashley Miller residence on the Glens Falls Ð Lake George road, just outside the city limits.

Mosher, who was returning from a trip to French Mountain, was accompanied by John Sullivan and Miss Sadie Marsette, of Glens Falls and Miss Lyons from Hudson Falls.

The occupants of the other car, besides Eugene King, were Harry Evans, Mrs. George Austin and her daughters, Ruth and Bertha, all of Hadley. They were homebound from Glens Falls.

John Sullivan states that the car he was in was running at a speed of fifteen miles an hour while King says that his machine was making twenty. They came together with great force and all of the occupants were thrown out excepting King and Miss Bertha Austin, who was riding with him in the front seat, Deputy Sheriff Mosher was thrown over the steering wheel

and through the windshield of the car. He never moved after he struck the ground. His skull was fractured and he was probably killed instantly though Sullivan says he heard him groan once.

The injuries of the other members of both parties were of a minor nature. Both automobiles were considerably damaged.

Mr. Mosher was forty years old and is survived by his widow, his mother, Mrs. Anna M. Mosher and one sister, Mrs. Gerdon Stanton and a brother, Merritt Mosher, of Rochester.

Lewis H. MosherÕ s funeral was held May 26, 1914. He was appointed as one of the deputy sheriffs in Glens Falls on Jan. 1, 1913 by Sheriff Richard J. Bolton. He was a prominent Republican worker in his ward and by trade was a carriage and contracting house painter. He was highly esteemed by all who knew him.

Tragic vision loss

R.J. Brown, proprietor of the Lake View House, one of the oldest and most popular summer hotels at Bolton-on-Lake George, recently lost the sight of his left eye through paralysis.

His right eye has become impaired through the strain caused by his work for years past with the transit and level in his operations as a surveyor. Mr. Brown was at one time Warren County engineer. In spite of his affliction Mr. Brown will carry on his hotel business the current season and has made extensive improvements to his property in anticipation of a record-breaking season.

Wedding bells

Lyman W. Mattz, of Stony Creek and Miss Nellie Johnson, of Luzerne, were married recently in Glens Falls by the Rev. C.O. Judkins.

William Cameron and Miss Myra Wescott, both of East Thurman, were married May 14, 1914 by the Rev. T.R. Jones at his boarding house in Wevertown.

Bert Tripp and Miss Zella Raymond, both residing in the northern part of Warrensburgh, were married Saturday afternoon, May 30, 1914 by the Rev. C.S. Agan at the Methodist Episcopal parsonage. John D. Harris and Mrs. Agan were witnesses.

The bride is the daughter of James Raymond of Spruce Mountain, Warrensburgh.

News roundabout

There is in operation a motor car for one in every 100 people in the United States.

The past week, since May 21, 1914, it has been dry and smoking. About forty men have been fighting fires which have been burning in the southern part of Johnsburgh. A pall of smoke has hung over this area for several days coming from the forest fires in the towns of Thurman and Johnsburgh and also in Essex County where a force of 300 men fought fires which have finally been brought under control.

A calf with two perfect heads, two necks and two spines nearly three quarters of the length of the body, was recently born on the farm of Philo Smith, at Salem. It weighed about 90 pounds and died a few hours after birth. The body will be mounted.

Lyman Brooks, son of Charles Brooks of West Stony Creek, who has been blind for some time, has nearly entirely recovered his sight. In West Stony Creek, Charles Brooks caught a brook trout weighing one and a half pounds. The parsonage in Johnsburgh has been renovated by receiving plastering, painting and papering.

Letters to the Editor

High Peaks Hospice fundraiser To the Adirondack Journal: Twenty-eight years ago High Peaks Hospice was founded in Saranac Lake offering a more holistic and patient driven approach to end of life care. In the ensuing years more than 6,500 individuals and their loved ones have benefitted from the programs at High Peaks Hospice & Palliative Care.

High Peaks HospiceÕ s ability to continue to serve those most vulnerable has always been made possible only through the generous financial support of the communities we serve. The most enduring Ð 22 years and counting - and successful fundraising effort continues to be High Peaks Hospice Radio Day. Radio Day has become a much anticipated event in the TriLakes communities each June. I would like to encourage you all to join us on Tuesday, June 3rd for this yearÕ s High Peaks Hospice Radio Day. It promises, as always, to be a fun and exciting day of support and celebration. Local businesses have generously donated a wide variety of services, items Ð such as an Adirondack Chair – and gift certificates to area golf courses, restaurants and more, worth hundreds of dollars. These will be offered as incentives throughout the day for your pledges. This year’s big raffle item is an iPadAir. Please remember to tune in on June 3 between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. to radio stations 105.5, 102.1 or 106.3 FM, 1240 or 920 AM, Time Warner cable channel 2 and 22 or go to nbz.com for a live stream.

Why is Radio Day so important? Hospice receives no state or federal government funding. Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements were cut in 2013 due to the federal Sequestration while the cost of end of life care continues to increase due to more complex end of life issues. In addition, care is provided to anyone, regardless of their ability to pay, including the uninsured. Consequently we turn to the communities we serve to help bridge the ever widening gap.

Ninety percent of us know when the final phase of their life has begun. Hospice is there to help. An individual’s final journey is not traveled alone Ð it affects their families, other loved ones and caregivers - all are part of the hospice Ò unit of care.Ó By fo-

cusing on the physical, emotional as well as spiritual needs of all involved, hospice brings dignity, acceptance and peace not only to the patient but also to their loved ones.

To accomplish this we are asking for your help. Your past financial support and enthusiasm has been instrumental to the success of Radio Day so please call 897-2443 on June 3 to make your 2014 pledge.

Your pledge on Radio Day truly does make a difference. Your support of this yearÕ s Radio Day will help us all live the way we want to live. Please make a difference by calling 897-2443 between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. on Tuesday, June 3. Remember, hospice is about living.

Major storms down To the Adirondack Journal: GoreÕ s ClimateReality programs perpetrate predictions of increasing hurricanes, floods, violent storms, droughts, etc. and blame it on CO2. However, the IPCC reports “low confidence” there has been or will be an increase in hurricanes or droughts, or that humans will contribute to any changes in these events in the foreseeable future! In other words: high confidence there hasn’t been and will not be increases in these events or human contribution to them. It seems strange to make predictions if they are of low confidence - unless they can be used to scare people.

Since 1910, the average number of major hurricanes striking the U.S. has been seven per decade. Each of the last five decades since 1960 has been below seven, averaging 5.6; the five previous decades averaged 8.4.

ItÕ s similar for tornados. NOAA says Doppler radar, Ò has led to an increase in the number of reported weaker tornadosÉ This can create a misleading appearance of an increasing trend in tornado frequency.Ó NOAAÕ s data show a downward trend for EF3EF5 tornados. In the 20 years 1954-1974, there were seven years with 70 or more strong tornados; in the 40 years since, only one year exceeded 70.

Note that the last 40 years have had the highest temperatures;

the previous 20 years ran cooler (recall the ice age scare circa 1970?). These data indicate negative relationship between strong tornados and climatic temperature, and also between strong tornados and atmospheric CO2. Ditto major hurricanes.

One example of extreme weather is the blizzard of frightening reports, far more extreme than the underlying science theyÕ re supposedly summarizing. One made a big media splash just in time for April FoolÕ s Day, another in early May. These reports are controlled by political appointees, who far outnumber scientists in the all-night sessions that produce the final wording.

Flag protocol To the Adirondack Journal: With the parade season upon us, I would very much like to issue a reminder.

The proper protocols for the American Flag and the National Anthem are to rise to your feet, remove your hat or headgear, hold it over your heart and stand in reverence to these great icons of American Freedom.

All too often, we see the proud veteran struggle to rise and remove his hat in respect while those around him continue their conversations, leave headgear on and ignore the passing of the flag or the playing of our National Anthem.

Please remember that are hundreds of thousands of brave souls who are not here to celebrate parades and holidays because they stood up, stepped up and fought under the flag for our freedom.

When these brave soldiers are fighting on foreign soil, the flag is the symbol that energizes them and reminds them of those back home waiting for their return.

Please enjoy your parades, enjoy your cookouts and parties, but also, please remember where we are and who gave us this freedom Ð rise, show respect and honor those who have given that to us.

Fifth grade Bolton students participate in Bird Banding in Crown Pt.

By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

CROWN POINT Ñ Fifth grade students headed to the Crown Point Fort and Historic Sight to participate in a bird banding on May 20.

The bird banding program in Crown Point was established in 1976 in coordination with Clemson University in South Carolina. Since its creation 17,374 bird have been tagged and

over 180 species. Heading up the program is Gordon Howard, Professor Emeritus at Clemson and part time Kesseville resident. Ò We got to put the bands on the birds,Ó said student Marvin Dobert. Ò Each band had a number and when that number is seen it gets reported and you can track your bird and get a report about where it goes.Ó The purpose of the banding is to track migratory bids to better collect ecological data and improve conservation efforts. The public is also welcomed in the month of May to participate in the banding process.

Ò We learned about the migration paths of the birds,Ó said Katelyn Vanawken. Ò The information on the birds is passed on to the federal government.Ó Guidance counselor Steve Showers and fifth grade English language arts teacher Jessica Foy accompanied the students for this event. Ò We do this every year,Ó said Showers. Ò It is a good way for these kids to find out about things in their own back yards, the bird banding station and also Fort Crown Point. They may not appreciate it now but in the future they will remember doing this.Ó
