Big rigs ready to roll into Lake George By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — For months, two Capital Region truckers have been posting flyers on hundreds of truck-stop bulletin boards across the nation, advertising Saturday’s truck convoy into Lake George. Their promotional prowess may pay off this weekend, as hundreds of long-haul truckers are expected to descend on Lake George for a convoy, truck expo and show. “It’s way beyond our expectations now — it’s gonna be huge,” convoy co-organizer Charles Claburn said. “We’re gonna break the Guinness Book of Records for the size of a convoy event.” Claburn and cohort Bill Sutton of Batavia N.Y. said they expect at least 300 and maybe 500 or more truckers to attend the event, headquartered at Fort William Henry Resort in Lake George. The long-haul truck show will feature tricked-out truck cabs, customized with chrome, wild paint jobs, glitzy lights and unbelievable amenities, Sutton said. Hundreds of truckers from all over the nation have

County home residents, employees protest job cuts By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Residents and several fired staffers of Countryside Adult Care Home staged public protests Friday with Warren County supervisors against job cuts, facility downsizing, reduction of activities, and employment conditions at the
home. Employees whose jobs were eliminated or uncertain aired attacks against Countryside’s Director Brenda Hayes, alleging favoritism, nepotism, retaliation toward employees and mismanagement of the home. She disputed the charges this week. The protests occurred June 19 in front of the county Board of Supervi-
sors convening at the Warren County Municipal Center. About a dozen elderly residents formed a procession into the room, behind three employees whose jobs were abolished or threatened in a four-position cutback at the home — Activities Director Faye Perry, Case Manager Deanna Park and Activities Aide Wanda Olden.

Sheriff’s boat patrols spared the axe, for now By Jon Alexander jonathan@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Although the future prospects of waterborne law enforcement in Warren County have been sinking lately, this week they were thrown a budgetary lifeline. Warren County Sheriff ’s Department boat patrols will continue throughout the remainder of 2009, as Warren County supervisors spared the program from funding cuts. As part of the push to reduce spending and close a looming 2010 budget deficit, supervisors had targeted the program for elimination. But this week, it was spared the budget axe, at least temporarily. “We have decided to go ahead and fund the patrol throughout the rest of 2009, but if no more funding is found in 2010 it will be cut,” Queensbury Supervisor-at-large William VanNess said June 19. Warren County Undersheriff Robert Swan said Tuesday that the boat patrol has served as an important deterrent to boating while intoxicated — a deadly but common practice. The patrol also cuts down on reckless piloting, and

Young students experience life of bygone days By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Barbara Grant’s fifth graders weren’t sure what to expect when they filed into a room at Warrensburg Central School and saw strange paraphernalia scattered around the room buffaloplaid blankets. They may have been expecting a show, but soon learned that they were the show. Local author Persis Granger author of the two
“Adirondack Gold” historical novels the students had been reading in class, asked them what they knew about our area in the late 1890s. They discussed life without television, electricity and automobiles. They laughed when a classmate emerged from the hallway wearing simulated 19th century garb. They began to hear about the important role of children on family farms, where all members of the household had to pitch in to make sure that the chores got done and there
was enough food for winter. Then Warrensburg octogenarian Irene Hall talked with the students about bygone days, telling them that life in rural Thurman was not so very different when she grew up there in the 1930s with a large family sharing a home with no utilities, no central heat, and no plumbing. The students’ eyes widened as they listened attentively to stories of afterschool and Saturday chores, programs at the one-room Dartmouth schoolhouse and

the rigors and joys of family life. And then it was their turn. The students divided up into groups to try their hand at carrying heavy buckets, stringing apple slices to dry for winter — harder and slower than expected — grinding coffee beans, and churning butter. When the butter was done, they all sampled it, and most sampled a sip of the buttermilk, as well. Old-fashioned switchel — a water, vinegar and sugar combination said to be a precursor of today’s sports beverages — topped off the snack. All hands pitched in to clean up, the final lesson in sharing responsibility. Teacher Barbara Grant said this “living history” program, held June 15 in her classroom, taught children a valuable, character-building

Playground to rise again
Library ‘Footnotes’
Richards Library’s capital campaign is moving forward
By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com
By Susan Jennings denpubs@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — In the mid-1980s, dozens of volunteers of all ages collaborated over several weekends to build the Warrensburg Creative Playground on the town recreation fields off Sanford St. Featuring mazes, forts, swings and bridges, it captivated the public’s imagination. For a generation of Warrensburg’s children, the playground provided a place to spark the imagination and gain exercise. But through the years, it deteriorated, was repeatedly vandalized, and became a hangout at night for wayward teens. Even the timbers it was created from, treated with an arsenic compound to resist weathering, were reclassified as hazardous — potentially carcinogenic. But now, a new playground is destined to raise from the remains of this old one. The town of Warrensburg was awarded a $62,500 grant recently from the state Environmental Protection Fund to build a new playground. The grant, announced at the June town board meeting, is enough to pay for two playground structures, one for preschool age youngsters, and the other for older children, according to Warrensburg Bookkeeper Patty Monahan, who drafted the grant application. The grant also pays to update the existing rest rooms, so they are accessible to people with physical challenges. The matching grant pays for the equipment and materials, while the town will be contributing the time of its employees to build it, Monahan said. The playground amenities will be designed to accommodate a wish-list drafted by local elementary school children and their parents. A survey was circulated last year among students as to what they wanted in a playground, and the new equipment will be designed around their preferences, Monahan said. “The kids said they wanted a larger slide, a fort, swings. spring rockers, tire swings, a net climber, a bouncing bridge and balance beams, so that’s what we’ll be looking to have built,” Monahan said. The playground will also have standard swing sets, heavy duty, with cushioned safety matting below, she said. The playground should be ready for children sometime next year, Monahan said. “Hopefully we can get this up and going soon so the kids of the town can enjoy it,” she said. Supervisor Kevin Geraghty also said the new playground, when complete, will offer a safe, challenging and fun place for children to play.

“I’m happy the original creative playground served its purpose, and now this grant enables us to build a new playground at a reasonable cost,” he said. “We are very happy to receive the award, because the grant process was extremely competitive.” A memo from the state announcing the award noted that there were over 300 applications for similar grants from the Environmental Protection Fund, and only a fraction of the requests were granted.

WARRENSBURG — Richards Library’s fundraising efforts — to complete its expansion project — are continuing to move ahead. On Saturday June 27, Richards Library will be holding a coin drop fundraiser in downtown Warrensburg on Main St. at the intersection of Rte 418, near Hudson Headwaters Health Center. Readers are asked to be generous — and drive carefully past the volunteers, which include members of Friends of Richards Library and library trustees. Also, citizens are encouraged to remember Richards Library with a charitable donation in memory of someone or in recognition of a special person — or in one’s own estate planning. The generosity of our area townspeople is truly appreciated. Recently, the Warrensburg Wrestling Club presented a check for $250 towards Richards Library’s capital campaign. The Library also has received a matching grant from the state Department of Education for $42,000, and an additional $10,000 from the Charles R. Wood Foundation, which takes us further towards the library’s fundraising goal. These monetary amounts will soon be seen on our campaign “tally board.” Sincere thanks to all who have donated, or helped with the grant application process. Summer hours will begin shortly at the library. The library will be open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and be open afternoons on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., and on Tuesday and Thursday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. For details, call 623-3011. The artwork of Warrensburg Central High School students will be on exhibit at Richards Library all summer. It is wonderful to see a tradition continued. Many talented students have had their art displayed for the enjoyment of our citizens. The state’s summer reading program for elementaryage children begins the first week of July and will run through mid-August. This year ’s program is entitled “Be Creative at Your Library. Library Director Sarah Farrar will be assisting these young readers in their reading choices. As always, there is an ongoing book sale in the Library’s vestibule. This sale includes hardbacks and paperback adult books, children, junior and young adult selections, cookbooks, audio readers, and some videos. Offerings change daily, so folks are encouraged to stop in and browse for their summer reading or listening enjoyment.

Warrensburg band wins top honors in colossal firemen’s parade By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — For years, the Warrensburg High School Marching Band has performed in local parades, and won the hearts of parents and townspeople. But this past weekend, they marched in the grand Hudson Valley Volunteer Firemen’s Association fulldress parade, and won over the expert judges who scrutinized and ranked the 136 marching units and 60 bands participating in the five-hour procession through Lake George Village. The judges granted Warrensburg High the honors of “First Place — Best Musical Unit — High School Band” for the 120th annual parade and convention which attracts thousands of firefighters. Warrensburg Supervisor Kevin Geraghty said this is the first time in decades that the high school band has garnered such an honor on behalf of the town. “This is a huge deal,” said Geraghty, who also serves as the president of the Warrensburg Volunteer Fire Co. “The town officials and fire company members know this is a terrific honor — We’re all really pleased with the work band director Denise Foster and the band members have invested in their performance.” He said this award will long be remembered.
“We’re so proud of the way the Warrensburg band represented our community.” Superintendent of Schools Tim Lawson was at the awards ceremony of the Hudson Valley firefighters’ organization and picked up the trophy on behalf of the high school. He said the award was a substantial achievement, considering the judges were from all over the Hudson Valley and were accustomed to grading professional marching bands and squads. “This is a fantastic honor for Warrensburg High,” he said. “It’s a real tribute to the job Denise Foster has done with the instrumental music program at our school.” Lawson said that one important element in their success was likely the smart new uniforms that the Warrensburg Fire Co. purchased about a year ago, at considerable expense. After marching down Canada Street before tens of thousands of spectators, the Warrensburg High School Band convened with the Lake George Community Band. Both bands performed for one another and then combined to play a piece together. Foster said she enjoyed the day. “It is always a delight to march alongside our fire company,” she said. “It was also fun for us to perform together with the Lake George Community Band — We had a great time!“
Lead by flag-twirling majorettes, the Warrensburg High School Marching Band strides down Canada Street in Saturday’s dress parade of the Hudson Valley Volunteer Firemen’s Association, a fire-hour procession that featured 136 units and about 60 bands.

Rigs From page 1 registered to attend, Sutton said. “Truckers are coming from all quarters of the country, from Seattle to Florida to New Hampshire to California,” he said. “We may just be overwhelmed.” The event is planned as a fundraiser for the Prospect Center, which serves children of the Glens Falls region who have developmental disabilities. Sutton said Prospect Center of Queensbury was chosen as beneficiary because of its financial need in this era of economic uncertainty and specifically the state budget cuts to children with developmental issues. The event is being planned in conjunction with Citizens & Truckers United, a national organization of long-haul truckers of which Sutton is state director. Sutton said Saturday’s events begin at 11:30 a.m. when the convoy forms at Scotty’s Truck Stop in Wilton off I-87 Northway Exit 16, and heads toward Lake George. Registration opens at 7 a.m. and ends when the engines are fired up, he said. The convoy might include 164 trucks from the Army National Guard, logging trucks and dump trucks besides the 18-wheelers, he said.
After arriving at Exit 22 in Lake George, the truckers will re-group before heading through the village on Canada St. in a parade beginning at about 12:30 p.m. This convoy will end at Fort William Henry, where the show and expo are sited. Three Nashville bands, including Terry Wooley and his group, will be performing country-western music during the afternoon on the resort grounds, he said. At 6 :30 p.m., an awards banquet will be held, granting trophies to the most impressive rigs in the afternoon’s Show-n-Shine event, he said. Sutton said that some impressive customized cabs appearing on television’s Trick My Truck series will likely be in the show. “There will definitely be some exotic, wild trucks in the show,” he said, noting that some entries might be worth many hundreds of thousands of dollars. “There will be all sorts of real cool stuff you wouldn’t normally see.” The evening ends with a fireworks cruise — tickets are still available by calling (585) 300-7327, he said. The public can watch the display on the shoreline at about 9:30 p.m. Sutton said he’s hoping the village is filled this weekend with spectators as well as truck cabs, truckers and their fancy hauling machines. “We’re getting revved up and ready to go,” he said.
Boat From page 1 routinely assists at waterborne accident scenes and in search-andrescue operations. In addition, the patrol responded to 181 incidences in which vessels were experiencing serious problems. “Considering that Lake George is the backbone of tourism in our county, and with the frequent congestion on its waters and the accidents that occur, this boat patrol is absolutely vital,” he said. In just several months of 2008, the county marine patrol issued 90 citations and arrests and 408 warnings, he said. Also, they participated in 13 search-and-rescue operations, assisted at nine accidents, and conducted 53 vessel inspections. County marine patrol supervisor Michael Webster said that many times, the county patrol was the only source of assistance for boaters in trouble. “The marine patrol is very important to the public,” he said. “We’re the people who routinely respond to emergencies, particularly after hours.” The boat patrol costs $68,000 to operate in 2009, but 75 percent of the total is reimbursed by the state,
LAKE GEORGE • ADIRONDACK JOURNAL - 5 VanNess said. Warren County is responsible for approximately $17,000 annually to fund the patrols. But Essex County already chips in $5,000 toward the program, reducing the Warren County share to around $12,000. But with a state Department of Environmental Conservation presence on waterways, some supervisors said the local taxpayer money should go elsewhere. Swan said the boat patrol has the strongest presence on Lake George with boats stationed on the lake — one in Lake George village and another in Bolton. A third boat travels to the remote locations around the region, fulfilling shared service requirements. The patrol not only covers Warren County waters, but also Schroon Lake in Essex County and several Hamilton County and Washington County lakes. It is on Schroon Lake three days per week in peak season he said, as well as on Loon Lake. Swan said that to reduce costs, the sheriff’s office has already reduced the number of routine patrols on Lake George. “We followed the supervisors’ request,” Swan said. Journal Editor Thom Randall contributed to this report.
Summerfest to feature artwork and music LAKE GEORGE — With the arrival of Summerfest 2009 this weekend, Shepard Park in Lake George Village is likely to be filled with artworks and crafts. Summerfest is scheduled for Friday June 26 through Sunday June 28, with more than 100 artists and crafters participating, exhibiting and selling their work. Hours for the craft fair are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. A major ingredient of Summerfest is entertainment presented at the Shepard Park bandstand on Canada Street in the heart of the village. There is music each day from 1 to 4 PM. On Friday, guitarist/singer John Kribs and son Orion will perform. Adrenaline Hayride, the powerhouse bluegrass band will perform on Saturday; and on Sunday, Jim Gaudet and the Railroad Boys will play their mix of country, folk and bluegrass. In addition to activities in Shepard Park, sidewalk sales will be conducted by merchants throughout Lake George Village. Summerfest is free to the public and sponsored by the Lake George Volunteer Fire Department.

6 - ADIRONDACK JOURNAL • OPINION
•100 Years Ago – June, 1909• The lazy days of summer The Parks Hospital, of Glens Falls has been renamed and will henceforth be called “Glens Falls Hospital.” A total eclipse of the moon, the first total eclipse of the moon in 11 years, was watched the evening of June 10, 1909 by hundreds of Warrensburgh people. There was a total eclipse of the sun June 17, 1909. Farmers report that crops are doing poorly for this time of year and corn is scarcely two inches high due to the cold nights and potatoes are not doing much better. The hay crop, however, is giving promise of doing very good. No less than three dog fights have taken place this week up and down Warrensburgh’s main street. There is a hydrophobia (rabies) scare in this area and dogs have been required to be muzzled.
Fort William Henry Hotel burns The Fort William Henry Hotel burned in a spectacular fire on June 24, 1909. Through vistas of green shrubbery, black smoldering ruins mark all that remains of the old hotel at the head of Lake George. This big establishment was owned by the Delaware and Hudson Co.y when it burned in the early morning hours and they had owned it for several years. The loss was estimated at $500,000 with an insurance of probably $90,000. Shortly after 3 o’clock in the morning the hotel manager, J.F. Wilson detected smoke and sounded the alarm. It was near the servant’s quarters in the basement, directly below the dining room that the fire started. The servants, about 150, had barely enough time to escape with what wearing apparel they could grab as they ran for their lives. The fumes of the smoke, belching throughout the building, stifled all the attempts to use the fire hydrants. The fire department promptly responded but there was little they could do to rescue the main building but a stream of water was kept playing on the cottages and the power house which were saved. The hotel was to be opened for the season the very day that it burned. It will probably be rebuilt. (Note… The Fort William Henry Hotel, named for the old fort that had once stood next to it, was built by a stock company in 1854 and opened to the public in 1855 with Daniel Gale as manager. He purchased all the stock and later became partners with his good friend, Mr. Joslin. From 1855 to 1868 were prosperous years. The “new” Fort William Henry Hotel was opened on June 17, 1911 with George J. Valliquette as manager. It had 80 handsome rooms, many with open fire places as well as steam heat and 50 baths. At the grand opening, the Philharmonic orches-

t’s no secret that I love $1 sales at the grocery store. They’re one of the easiest ways to get items for free – and who doesn’t like getting something for free? For example, when a bag of frozen vegetables is on sale for $1 and I use a $1 coupon, the coupon’s value essentially “pays” for the vegetables – they’re free. But what if the frozen vegetable happens to be on sale for 75 cents and you use a $1 coupon? This is an example of what couponers call overage – and it’s one of my favorite aspects of couponing. Overage occurs when the value of your coupon exceeds the cost of the item you’re buying. If I use a $1 coupon on the 75-cent vegetables, what happens to that extra 25 cents? At checkout, most stores will apply the extra quarter to the rest of the items I purchase that day. So, if during the same shopping trip I also buy some bakery rolls for $1.25, the extra quarter of coupon overage is automatically ap-

tra of the Metropolitan Opera House of New York City was engaged to furnish music with Signor Ruggerio as conductor. Expensive paintings, depicting Adirondack scenes, lined the walls. It was truly a grand time to be alive, especially if one had lots of money.)
Thomson’s dream house With no pains or expense spared, the new home of Lewis Thomson, corner of Main and Second streets, Warrensburgh, is about completed on June 24, 1909 and is one of the finest dwelling houses in Warren County W.E. Lawrence, of Glens Falls, was the architect and drew the plans almost entirely from specifications furnished by Mrs. Thomson. The proud owners have no reason to conceal a just sense of pride in their new home, furnished in such artistic pretensions, furnished in a style that is plain but pleasing from a viewpoint of comfort and attractiveness. Seven light and pleasant sleeping rooms have been fitted up in the third story, which is done in Georgia pine. The rooms and the hall have oak and cherry woodwork and oak floors extend throughout the first and second stories. John G. Smith, manager of the local electric light plant, finished wiring the house and installing the fixtures on June 23, 1909. That night the current was turned on for the very first time and the house was brilliantly illuminated from basement to attic. The memorable sight elicited many favorable comments from the many eyewitnesses who had gathered to view the brilliant spectacle. (Note…Lewis Thomson was a poor farm boy from North Warrensburgh who worked hard to become one of the wealthiest men around. He started out as a drover and cattle dealer and went on to deal in lumber and real estate. At one time he owned 27 farms and 7,000 acres of timber land. In 1882 he married Phoebe Ann Sisson of Fort Ann and they had one child. Pearl Thomson married internationally known hotelman, Philip Rice who owned The Brown Swan Club in Schroon Lake and they had two children. Lewis Thomson had only four years to enjoy his beautiful home before he died in 1913. He was 60 years old. Phoebe died in 1950. Today the 27-room house is known as “ The Cornerstone Victorian” bed and breakfast and is owned and loved by Doug and Louise Goettsche.)

Struck by the butt end of a tree limb, on June 15, 1909, and almost instantly killed, Judson B. Smith, 70, of Warrensburgh, expired within five minutes after the accident. The limb was part of an elm tree on Mountain Ave., on the north side of the residence property of Walter Pasco, who had decided to cut the tree down when it became split as he feared it might break in two at any time. With the help of Lewis Smith, son of the victim, who had been promised the firewood for his help, Walter Pasco was on a ladder and had sawed the limb which was hanging by its bark. Judson Smith was standing by the foot of the ladder watching as his son had hold of a rope and was pulling on the limb which suddenly gave way and came crashing down striking Mr. Smith in the forehead. Dr. J.M. Griffin, a neighbor who lived near by, rushed to the scene but found that Mr. Smith was beyond earthly aid. His whole forehead and nose were crushed in, the cheek and jaw bones broken. He expired on the doctor’s lawn. Judson Smith was carried to his home on King Street and Undertaker J.A. Woodward was summoned. (Note…Judson B. Smith was born in Warrensburgh on Nov. 18, 1838, the oldest of the 11 children of Zopher Smith (18121868) and Annie M. Smith (1817-1880). He was an honored veteran of the Civil War and married Lucy Wright of Bolton in 1868. He was survived by his widow, son Lewis and three daughters. Lucy died in 1924. He is buried in the Warrensburgh Cemetery with his family and his son, “Little Charley” who died when he was 3 months old.)
plied to the rest of my total. In this example, after giving the cashier my $1 vegetables coupon I would owe just $1 in cash for the rolls. Overage can play a big role in reducing your total grocery bill. If I have many items in the same transaction, each with a coupon that exceeds the value of what I’m buying, I can gain several dollars of overage. That overage can be used to buy anything: fruit, vegetables, dairy or whatever By Jill Cataldo I’d like. With a family of five, I can always find plenty of other items that my household needs. However, it’s important to remember that no store is going to give a shopper cash back for overage. I can’t walk into my local grocery store with that $1 coupon, buy the 75-cent vegetables and then ask for a quarter in change. It just doesn’t work that way. But because I’m also buying other items during the same trip, coupon overage helps save money on everything
else I take home. When I explain overage in my coupon classes I’m sometimes asked if this is “ripping off the store.” The answer is, No! Remember, the manufacturer that issued my $1 vegetables coupon will reimburse the store not only $1 for the full value of my coupon but also an additional 8 to 12 cents per coupon. (Read the fine print on your coupon and you’ll find this spelled out.) So, think of your coupons as if they were cash. If I hand the cashier a $1 bill to pay for my 75-cent vegetables and $1.25 rolls, the extra 25 cents over the cost of the vegetables isn’t lost – it comes off the price of the rolls. Most stores automatically allow overage. A few reserve the right to “adjust down” the value of your coupon to the point that the item is free, but the shopper does not receive the overage. To determine how your store handles coupon overages, ask your store for a copy of its coupon policy. © CTW Features

NORTH CREEK — The hamlet of North Creek has an attribute that was once seen as a boon, but is now increasingly perceived as a burden. The Rte. 28 bypass, originally envisioned as a way to relieve traffic in downtown North Creek, has for years hidden the hamlet from tourists as they speed by, many unaware of the community’s existence. State Rte. 28 never enters the Johnsburg business district. For business owners, the forty-year old bypass is a source of frustration. “I was trying to get to North Creek to see some friends,” said Queensbury resident Gary Cutter. “I must be an idiot — I drove right by the whole town and had to stop five miles north for directions.” But for North Creek business owners, Cutter is not an idiot. Instead, he is a victim of the effects of the Rte. 28 bypass and his story is much too common. “People are always telling me that they have been coming to Gore for 20 years and had no idea that North Creek even existed,” local business owner Katherine Feiden said. “Many just drive on by totally unaware we are here.”
Feiden owns and operates The Foothills, a shop on Main Street in downtown North Creek. “It seems like Rte. 28 acts as a barrier to travelers entering the hamlet,” she said. The bypass was constructed in the 1960s by New York State in order to facilitate easier movement of people and goods through the park. But many business owners argue that the lack of traffic is crippling their viability. “Back when the state proposed the bypass, the local business owners fought it tooth and nail,” Hudson River Trading Company owner Laurie Arnheiter said. “They were afraid it would do exactly what it did — it is an absolute construction abortion which decimated the town.” Arnheiter said that due to local and state sign regulations, notifying travelers of North Creek’s existence proves tricky. Ideas about potential solutions to the bypass are varied. “I am hopeful that the ski bowl interconnect will at least bring people closer to the downtown,” said North Creek Deli and Marketplace owner John Harvey. “I am hoping to see some signs of sidewalks and crosswalks in the site plan so people will think to cross Route 28 and come to the downtown — I haven’t seen any planned sidewalks yet.”
The North Creek Ski Bowl — site of the interconnect project — lies on the opposite side of Rte. 28 in relation to the business district. Harvey and numerous other business owners said that at present, signage — which is often illegal — is the only means they have to advertise the hidden community. “A red light at 28 and 28N would be huge, but I don’t have my hopes up,” he said. Johnsburg Supervisor Sterling Goodspeed has said that some form of transportation from the base of the interconnect to the downtown is being researched. He said there is potential for a shuttle bus running from the ski bowl to the business district. “Long-term plans include discussion of a gondola running from the ski bowl, over 28 and to the train depot,” Harvey said. “But who knows if we will ever see that.” However, the ski bowl shuttle would likely only be effective in the winter months and would do little to usher summer and fall tourists into the community. “We regularly have people miss us,” North Creek Rafting Company co-owner Becky Pelton said. “Last week we had a group go all the way up to Indian Lake looking for North Creek.”

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com BOLTON LANDING — A former cheerleader and softball pitcher at Bolton High School is headed off overseas next month to serve for a year in Iraq as a soldier in the U.S. Army. Kaila French, 18, the daughter of Bernie and Lisa French, is a private in the 543rd Military Police Company, stationed at Fort Drum. Friday, French was introduced to the Warren County Board of Supervisors, who wished her the best in her endeavor and paid her tribute for her service to the country. After the meeting, she was greeted by many wellwishers in attendance. A member of Bolton’s Class of 2008, Kaila was captain of the Bolton Central Cheerleading squad, and was for three years a standout pitcher for the school’s softball team. In her junior year, when she was one of the team’s three pitchers, the team was undefeated in the regular season. During those for high school years she was studying, cheering at basketball games and hurling fastballs, she was also considering service in the Army, she said Monday. “I knew it was the best position for me, because I’m a very structured person,” she said. “It was a good career choice because I want to get into law enforcement.” At the age of 13 or so, Kaila announced her intentions to her parents, Bernie and Lisa French. It was quite a surprise, Kaila’s father said. “Years ago, Kaila sat us down and said she didn’t want to go to college but wanted to go into the service,” Bernie French said. “She never changed her mind since.” During the first semester of Kaila’s senior year, she signed up in the Army’s delayed entry program, she said. “I felt that serving my country was something I had to do,” she said.

In July 2008, she left Bolton for basic training. Her choice to serve in the military follows a family tradition, she said. Her father served in the Army for three years during the 1980s — in Texas and Germany — and her grandfather Lyle French of Diamond Point faced combat in World War II. He was among the soldiers in the second wave of the Battle of Normandy, Kaila said. “I know my serving overseas makes my grand-dad proud,” she said, referring to Lyle, who was a police officer in Bolton for 17 years. “I’m the first female to go from our family, and it’s a big step.” Kaila French said she wasn’t particularly worried about the hazards of combat in Iraq. “It’s my job,” she said. “It’s what I chose to do.” She added that she was intrigued to learn about foreign traditions and lifestyles in Iraq.
“It may take a few weeks to get used to all the sand and the heat,” she said. “However, I’m looking forward to learning about a different culture and seeing how other people live.” But Kaila’s father said Monday he had mixed feelings concerning her going into combat. He’s proud of her courage, of course, but he has reservations, he said Monday. “I guess I’m a little afraid, but she’s doing what she wants to do — she’s talked about this since she was 13.” Regardless of his reservations, Lyle said he was behind her decision 100 percent. “My wife and I are extremely proud of Kaila, and it’s great that everyone in town says they’re proud too,” he said. “Kaila has a good head on her shoulders, and she will do fine — everything she’s ever attempted she’s succeeded at.”

Bolton park and streetscape upgrades to be revealed B O LT O N L A N D I N G — With the help of municipal planners, the Town of Bolton hasprepared its Hamlet Sustainability Plan and the public is now invited to a presentation of the draft plan’s concepts. The plan includes revitalization and enhancements for Rogers Memorial Park and the town pier, the Lake Shore Drive streetscape, Veteran’s Park, and the Norowal Marina. The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 30 at the Bolton Town Hall. A formal presentation of the master plan is scheduled for 7:20 p.m. and will be followed by an exchange of comments and questions. Members of the advisory committee and the design team will be available for review and comment. Town residents are encouraged to arrive at 7 p.m. to review the drawings in advance of the presentation. The Town of Bolton was awarded a Smart Growth grant from the Environmental Protection Fund in 2008 to prepare a master plan for Bolton Landing. This development plan is intended to provide a detailed blueprint for Bolton Landing to grow in an economically sustainable manner that is in harmony with the region and its natural attributes, according

The Bolton Landing Hamlet Sustainability Plan, to be unveiled Tuesday at a public meeting, includes revitalization plans for the town pier at Rogers Memorial Park as depicted in this architectural rendering. to Tracey Clothier of the LA Group, a municipal planning and architecture firm. The LA Group helped draft the plan based on ideas offered at a series of public workshops. The master plan focuses on improving the long-term function and efficiency of land use, parking, streetscape, underutilized building and spaces, pedestrian circulation and walkways, infrastructure, visual aesthetics, and condition and operation of public parks. The study area is the geo-
graphic area along Route 9N between Bixby Beach Road at the south of the hamlet and the Darrin Freshwater Institute to the north. The main objective of the proposed hamlet improvement effort is to retain and improve the economic vitality that the community presently experiences, Clothier said. Townspeople realize that aesthetics and the appearance of the downtown condition are important elements towards retaining its tourism base, she said. “The community's ap-
proach is strategic and forward thinking in that it sees that visitors have an everchanging and increasing set of expectations,” she said, noting that the plan was drafted with the knowledge that there are more and more communities nationally that are competing for tourism. Those unable to attend Tuesday’s meeting may follow the progress of the Bolton Landing Hamlet Sustainability Plan through the Town’s website: http://town.bolton.ny.us.

POTTERSVILLE — An intimate look at life 150 years ago is depicted in a book a Pottersville woman has written, focusing on her ancestors. Jodie Sewall, a writer contributing to Denton Publications, has transcribed the letters of her great-great-great-greatgrandparents Oliver and Eleanor Boizard. The letters provide a first-hand account of their lives during the mid-1800s. Long Distance Love 1855-1870 has been published on Lulu.com, an online marketplace for digital content. For several years, Sewall has transcribed letters written by her ancestors both from her family collection and a small museum in the town of Empire, Mich. Also, Sewall researched the historical events and people that are mentioned in the letters. Oliver and Eleanor Boizard were married in 1855 and over the course of the next 15 years spent many months and even years separated from each other due to war and the necessity of living wherever work was available. The letters include first-hand accounts of life during a Seminole Indian War in Florida, Army life in the Nebraska Territory, the Civil War and elsewhere in the 1860s. Sewall grew up in Michigan but has been a resident of upstate New York for 20 years.

Race the Train rolls up the tracks yet again
State hunting fees soar for seniors WARRENSBURG — Seniors who go hunting may be in for a big surprise, Warrensburg Town Clerk Donna Combs said this week. State-mandated hunting and fishing license fees have increased effective Oct. 1, she said. But for citizens between 65 and 70 years of age, the fees have skyrocketed from $5 per year to $47 per year, because the age

WARRENSBURG — In several weeks, dozens of golfers will be vying for the lowest score as they raise money for local athletes as they compete in the fifth annual Warrensburg Wrestling Club Golf Tournament. To be held July 11 at Cronin’s Golf Resort, the format is a four-person scramble, and more than $1,000 is offered in cash and prizes, organizer Scott McKenna said Monday. With tee-off times starting at 8 a.m., registration begins at 7 a.m. Food and beverages will be served throughout the day, and a steak roast follows the tournament, accompanied by music and dancing into the evening.

Course seeks to ease separation, divorce WARRENSBURG — Separation, divorce or a child-centered legal case can be a stressful series of transitions, particularly for children, Warren County Cooperative Extension official Amy Sabattis said this week. The process is more difficult and stressful when there is conflict between the parents, she said. “Children are often the innocent bystanders put in the middle of their parents’ conflict,” Sabattis said. Cornell Cooperative Extension of Warren County offers a program for parents dealing with a family restructuring. This Parenting Apart program helps parents understand what their children are ex-
periencing and how they can help them through the transition. Emphasis is placed on the parent-child relationship and focuses on what parents can do to promote a healthy adjustment for their children and protect them from the negative effects of ongoing parental conflict, Sabattis said. The program is certified by the New York State Unified Court System and classes are offered on a regular basis. The next scheduled program is held over two sessions, July 1 and 8,from 6 to 9 p.m. in Queensbury. For more information about the program or to register, contact Roxanne Westcott at 6233291 or see www.cce.cornell.edu/warren.

RIPARIUS — For the eighth year, runners will scramble to beat the scenic railroad train over its 8.4-mile trip from Riverside Station in Riparius to the North Creek Depot during the celebrated Race the Train event set for Aug. 1. What was intended as a small, local event has become a huge regional draw, attracting runners from all corners of the Northeast. Each year, this enthusiasm has increased, as runners from all over the state — and in some cases nation — trek to the Adirondacks for the event. “While we first intended to host a local running race, I learned that some local folks thought it would be cool to do something,
such as biking along the train tracks,” event co-organizer Ann Arsenault said. “What was originally thought to become a small local event, Race the Train now welcomes runners of all ages and abilities and brings in people from all over New York and neighboring states.” In 2008, nearly 300 participants ran in the event, and more are likely this year. The current record holders are Megan Holden of Ballston Spa with a time of 52:48, while Devin Corwall of Blacksburg, Va. holds the male record with a time of 45:09. The race will begin at Riverside Station at 9 a.m. following a “whistle blow.” Spectators are welcome to cheer on their favorite participant as they ride the train to North Creek. Participants and spectators can board the train at 8 a.m. at the North Creek Depot and ride to Riverside Station, allowing for an op-

hose who seek to hold public office in the upcoming Nov. elections should be aware of six open positions in Thurman town government. The openings are one assessor position, two town board seats, town highway superintendent, town clerk, and town supervisor. Those seeking office can pick up their petitions and start getting signatures now. Filing of completed petitions is between July 13 and 16. This leaves candidates about two weeks to get petitions signed. Independent petitions can be started on July 7. Petitions can be obtained on the Warren County Board of elections, or off their Website. For details, call 761-6459. Donations of snack food would be very much appreciated for the kids who will attend the summer recreation program beginning Monday July 6. Goodies can be left at the town hall or after 9 a.m. bring them on up to the new youth building. For details, call Maria at 623-9961. Donations can also be left at the Ligon Home on High St. Many 14-year-old children in the local recreation programs — or working for the county — will be stepping out in the business world and starting their first job. We hope they will enjoy holding a job and learning how to save a few dollars out of their paychecks. Good Luck, kids. Just remember to listen to your boss.

Another request concerning the care of Thurman cemeteries. The Thurman Cemetery Committee asks that no trees be planted in any town cemeteries. Flowers plants are okay or artificial arrangements, but please do not put in anything which will have long roots. Many gripes came in as the Sunday edition of the local daily newspaper had no coupon booklets in the June 14 issue. What now will save money, Jill?
Rep. Murphy seeks $6 million to rebuild two roads in Warren County WASHINGTON D.C. — U.S. Rep. Scott Murphy (D-Glens Falls) announced this week he has requested $64.01 million in funding for proposed transportation projects in his 20th Congressional District — with $6 million of this sum targeted for two projects in Warren County. Murphy has submitted the requests to the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure for its review. One of the two is to reconstruct Olmstedville Rd. in the town of Chester at a projected cost of $4.1 million. According to the request on behalf of the Warren County Department of Public Works, the sum would bankroll the design, engineering, environmental review and reconstruction of Olmstedville Road in the hamlet of Pottersville. This project would include improvements to storm water drainage and replacement of sidewalks. Also requested on behalf of the local Public Works office is $1.85 million to reconstruct Peaceful Valley Road in the town of Johnsburg.
This sum would underwrite the design, planning, engineering, and construction work for 1.2 miles of the roadway. The project would include approximately 1.2 miles of full-depth reconstruction and new storm water drains. Other major requests by Murphy for his Congressional district include $12.56 million for a CDTA bus terminal in Saratoga Springs, and $15 million for expansion of Thruway Exit 21B in Windham N.Y. The requests also include $1.2 million to construct sidewalks along state Rte. 9 in South Glens Falls and to extend the village’s Betar Byway pedestrian/biking trail 200 feet, $1 million for construction of the Historic Champlain Canalway Bicycle/Walking trail between Waterford and Mechanicville, and $3 million to redesign the intersection of state Rtes 9W, 81 and 385 in Coxsackie into a roundabout.

On anniversary of local soldier’s death, relatives share thoughts By Jon Alexander jonathan@denpubs.com
Stephanie Palmateer receives her father’s flag of service at a memorial service last summer. It’s been a year since Sgt. Mark Palmateer was killed in action in Afghanistan, but his loss still resonates with all who knew him.
Cuts From page 1 The protest continued among the home residents early this week, as a substantial percentage of them refused to participate in activities as a way to object to pending staff and program cutbacks. Monday, Hayes disputed the charges one by one, and said the employees’ allegations were apparently a result of changes she has been making to dramatically cut taxpayer expenses at the home, which has a declining population. Countryside Adult Home is a county-sponsored facility that provides room, board and activities for elderly or special needs adults that don’t have the means to live on their own. Perry, a 30-year employee, said that her job had been targeted for elimination after she had sent a letter to the county officials airing allegations. But Hayes countered that the claimed “retaliation” had occurred before the existence of the letter had been revealed, and the job cut had already been discussed with county officials. Although Fay, Park and Olden said the activities staff elimination would drastically curtail activities, Hayes said that aides and the 29or-so other staff members could direct the home’s activities alongside their other duties. Hayes said that since her arrival in January 2005, Countryside had been staffed far beyond its true needs. Some of the personnel expenditures were merely wasteful, and didn’t necessarily enhance the lives of residents, she said. With the blessing of county officials, Hayes is downsizing staff and expenses to save taxpayer money. The state mandates an activities director for a 60-bed facility, but not for one that is certified for a maximum of 48 residents. The home now has a population of 44 or so. Hayes said she wasn’t exactly popular not long after her arrival when she began trimming expenses, including asking staff members to start paying $2 for meals when they routinely helped themselves to food cooked in
the home’s kitchen. Her changes, she said, drastically cut food costs. Also, she cut some positions, and replaced them at far lower taxpayer cost with part-time help, she said, and shifted schedules and initiated cross-training to reduce expensive overtime — not a favored move with employees. Park said Hayes displayed “extreme favoritism” to her relatives who worked at the home. But Hayes disputed the charge, noting she’d fired he own niece, and had been evenhanded in handing out assignments to her sister Julie, who is still on staff. Although employees have complained of the overtime Julie has worked, Hayes said her sister seemed to be available for Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years, the days that other employees declined to be on duty. Holding up a schedule, she showed that a roster of employees had similar assignments. “I don’t treat my sister any different,” she said. “A good number of workers have relatives on staff, but I treat everyone as an individual.” Park said that if the staff levels were maintained, Countryside could boost its population back toward the 60-mark, saving the jobs of long-time employees. But Hayes said doing so would boost costs for taxpayers, as the county routinely picks up a hefty portion of the costs of care. Park told supervisors Hayes wouldn’t be able to handle the admissions and case management, as required by the state, by herself. But Hayes said it would be no problem, considering she was formerly head nurse at Eden Park Nursing Home, and handled a caseload of 40. “I’m no stranger to long hours,” she said as she served milk and cookies to a group of residents who were playing a fast-paced game of Bingo for the residents who weren’t on strike. The supervisors passed a motion Friday to temporarily back off on eliminating the positions of Park and Perry, pending an evaluation of the situation at Countryside home.

NORTH CREEK — As the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan continue to grind forward, one family is reflecting on the cost of the conflicts in the Middle East. One-year ago this week, former North Creek and Wevertown resident Sgt. Mark Palmateer, 38, was killed in action. He died from wounds sustained after his convoy encountered improvised explosive devices, small arms fire and rocketpropelled grenades from dissidents in Afghanistan. In this attack, two of Palmateer ’s fellow Army reservists were also killed. “I think about my dad and the war every day,” Palmateer ’s daughter Stephanie said this week. “His death has changed how I look at things like our flag, service and the war.” According to Stephanie Palmateer, her father ’s character was the focus of numerous letters she received from his squad-mates following his death. Unlike many Americans — who are able to remove themselves from the conflicts abroad
— the death of her father acts as an everpresent reminder of the cost of war. “I think about what is going on over there every day,” she said. “I am not sure people pay much attention until someone close to home dies.” Palmateer ’s ex-wife — Kim Smith — took time to reflect on the life and death of her daughter ’s father. “When Mark was over there his letters asked for things for the Afghan children,” she said. “He loved the kids and felt so bad for them.” But the cost of the wars are much more than dollar figures for a family who has lost so much. “Even though he was over there you just think he'll come home like so many others do, but they all don't,” Smith said. “When will this war end — how many more have to die?” Yet, Stephanie remains inspired by her father ’s sacrifice. “There has to be an appreciation for someone who makes such a sacrifice,” she said. “Especially the Afghans appreciate it — most of them agree with our presence.”
Locals, Clarkson University look to bring professionals to region, boost standard of living By Jon Alexander jonathan@denpubs.com BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE — In an era when technology is replacing ever more human workers, a group of local residents in concert with Clarkson University are attempting to rebuild an ever-dwindling Adirondack middle class. The Clarkson Adirondack Initiative seeks to promote the region as a place for white-collar professionals to conduct business, using the Internet to telecommute. “Technology is what killed the economy of the Adirondack Park and it is what can bring it back,” Initiative co-chair and Blue Mountain Lake native Elmer Gates said June 2. “If a place has the technological infrastructure — like broadband — people can do their work from anywhere.” Gates said that as logging technology decreased the need for a human labor force, the quality of life and economic viability of Adirondack residents declined sharply. The initiative is focusing on bringing white-collar, middle-class workers to the region, where they can do much of their work from home over the Internet. “Why not let your front porch be your office,” Gates asked. “The presence of America-based virtual call centers — for example — is expanding rapidly.” Gates — a lifelong entrepreneur who has founded several companies in the U.S. and abroad — said that he is unimpressed with the help available for individuals looking to start a business in the Adirondack Park. “I am disappointed by the lack of creativity by the officials in the Adirondacks,” Gates said. “The Adirondacks have become nothing more than a tourist, secondhome and retirement community — and that doesn’t build a middle class.” Gates said that funding for the project stems from his personal assets and
Marketing agent Sherry Nemmers works from her front porch over looking Blue Mountain Lake June 2. The Clarkson Adirondack Initiative is looking to draw more white-collar professionals to the park who can use the internet to telecommute. Clarkson University. According to University officials, Clarkson has began a congruent initiative meant to show students that business can be conducted in the park. “We have been looking at how to advance creative work and lifestyle choices for some time,” Clarkson University Vice President Kelly Chezum said Monday. “Trying to find ways for new commerce to emerge in the Park that would have a negligible impact on the environment.” Chezum said that the Clarkson Adirondack Initiative is synergistic with the college’s other programs seeking to advance career opportunities in the Adirondacks. “It is in our interest for the park to be as vibrant as possible,” she said. “We would like everyone to have to opportunity to engage in wireless entrepreneurship.” As of June 15, the Initiative is opening many “work stations”— located in Blue Mountain Lake, Lake Placid, Saranac Lake and Long Lake — which will have free Internet access available for anyone looking to conduct
business or develop an enterprise. “The brand has become tourism here,” Gates said. “I think it is time for a new brand.” Gates said that many of the Adirondack Park Agency’s policy decisions have also stymied business development. Sherry Nemmers is a marketing agent, and although her employer is located in New York City, her work is accomplished at her home in Blue Mountain Lake. “One can certainly do much of their work here in the park,” Nemmers said. “I hope that people discovering this fact will raise the standard of living in the Adirondacks.” The Initiative has scheduled a business summit to be held at Clarkson on September 8. According to Gates, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli will be among the many notables on hand to address the issues of boosting the middle class and stemming the decline in quality of life for year-round Adirondack residents, Gates said.

Tackling the Adks on a fast trot

Record brook trout taken on Raquette
Tom Yacovella of Utica shows the 5-pound, 4-ounce, 21-inch brook trout he caught from Raquette Lake June 7. The fish has been certified and a state record announcement is pending.
W
hen Tom Yacovella peered over the side of his 12-foot Sea Nymph at the potential record-setting brookie below, he said a quick prayer. “I said, ‘God, just let me get this one in the boat and I promise I’ll be good,’” he said with a laugh. Minutes later, Yacovella’s prayers were answered as he eased the 5-pound, 4-ounce brookie to the net. At just 21inches, the football-shaped female had a massive girth of 15 inches. He caught the monster June 7 on Raquette Lake in 24 feet of water on a three-and-a-half-inch Rapala. Yacovella described the fight as “vicious” and said he is still amazed he was able to boat the fish by himself. The fish has been certified by the state and appears to have broken the former state record set by Jesse Yousey in 2006 by five ounces. An official state announcement is pending. While Yacovella has 52-plus years of brook trout fishing experience under his belt, he said he never thought he’d hold one of the most coveted freshwater records in the state. In fact, he didn’t set out that spring day to set a record — only beat his personal best of a four-pounder. But, as fate would have it, the Utica-based wildlife artist and avid outdoorsman managed both. For Yacovella, it was the ultimate culmination of a lifelong love affair with native brookies. “I’m still in shock, it seems surreal,” Yacovella said. “I absolutely love brook trout. I think they are the purest strain in the Northeast.” Although humble about the feat, Yacovella is most certainly deserving of the big fish. Those who know him are well aware of his attention to detail — a fact evident in his artwork as well as his outdoor pursuits. In a recent discussion about the record fish, Yacovella quoted French chemist Louis Pasteur, who said “chance favors the prepared mind.” “In other words, the harder you work at something, the luckier you get,” Yacovella said. “Sure, there is luck involved, but the more prepared you are the better your chance of success.” From that perspective, Yacovella is a student of the brookie. From the conditions of the day to line weight and color, Yacovella left little to chance. He chose to fish June 7 “because there was a slight ripple and it was overcast,” and because “the black flies were at their worst.” On smaller ponds, Yacovella runs the age-old favorite of a Lake Clear Wabbler and a worm. On larger water, like Raquette, he prefers a minnow imitation. He runs 6-pound test to a three-way swivel, with a pencil-lead sinker pulling it down and a 48-inch, 4-pound leader to a floating Rapala. “I feel that keeps the lure tracking straight and gives it the most realistic action,” he said. Because Yacovella runs such a light leader, he constantly checks for frays and changes them often. He prefers steelhead rods of 9-feet or longer with a fast-action tip, to ensure the fish is fighting the pole and not the reel or line — and relies on back reeling big fish instead of his drag. Finally, Yacovella studies thermoclines, and intentionally weighted his Rapala that day to run at 24 feet — above the lakers and below the smallmouths. It was a combination the big brookie found irresistible. Ironically, when the brookie was being certified by Dave Erway, the fisheries biologist in the Department of Environmental Conservation’s Utica office, a three-inch minnow was found in the fish’s gullet. “I told my buddies I intentionally matched the hatch,” Yacovella said with another quick laugh. To be certified for a state record, a brook trout must be dissected by a state biologist like Erway who counts its pyloric caeca — or the finger-like projections in the small intestines. Brookies have between 20-55, splake between 65-90 and lakers between 95-200.
Yacovella’s fish had 37, making it easily certifiable. While Yacovella has been fishing Raquette for years, he readily admits the number of brookies he’s taken there are few. Still, he held no doubt Raquette had the potential to produce a slammer — he’d seen evidence of that on a past ice fishing trip. So, he intentionally targeted the species, and said he was content to wait all day if need be, which he very nearly did. The trip began at 5:30 a.m. and Yacovella’s fish hit at 3:30 in the afternoon. It was his only hit of the day. “In my mind, anything that gets that big is either lucky or selective, so you have to be prepared to put in your time,” he said. Other photographs of Yacovella’s trophy fish can be seen on his Web site, www.tomyacovella.com.
Steak Bake planned at Hague Fish & Game Steve Ramant of the Hague Fish & Game Club dropped me a line last week to get some publicity for the club’s annual Steak Bake, which will take place July 11. The dinner will consist of a grilled New York strip steak from Green Mountain, baked potato, salad, roll and desert — all for only $13. Refreshments for both adults and kids will be available on a donation, ticket basis. In addition to the meal, a horseshoe tournament will start at 2 p.m., Ramant said. There will be a $5 per-person entry fee and a blind draw for teams. Prizes will be awarded for first and second places. “In addition, a famous local DJ will be spinning your favorite tune for your enjoyment in the sunset set hours,” Ramant said. Ramant also encouraged attendees to check out the newly completed range shelter. The shelter has been and will continue to provide many hours of enjoyment for club members, he said. “As your eating, I'm sure you'll see the Clubhouse's many renovations as well as the new tables, and 4 screen Direct TV service. Ask any member for for a membership form & join in the fun. See you on the 11th & come hungry,” Ramant said.
Fishing tournament planned at Lincoln Pond The Elizabethtown Fish & Game will host a fishing tournament at Lincoln Pond on July 12. The event is designed to raise funds for the local club and is open to all ages. The entry fee is $10 for those who register before June 30 and $20 thereafter. Those interested can call Angie Wallace at 873-3277 for additional information. John Gereau is managing editor of Denton Publications and an avid outdoorsman. He can be reached at johng@denpubs.com.
ince the 1920’s, when Marshall brothers first began tackling the High Peaks in earnest, hikers and climbers have been attracted to perform feats of climbing endurance in the Adirondack wilderness. Bob Marshall and his brother, George, along with the family guide, Herb Clark are credited with being the first individuals on record to scale all of the 46 Adirondack peaks above 4,000 feet elevation. Their accomplishments spawned the Adirondack ‘46ers, a hiker’s advocacy group with a membership that now numbers in the tens of thousands. Clark, a local guide, was described by Bob Marshall at the time as being, “The fastest man I have ever known in the pathless woods.” From his humble youthful wanderings in the Adirondacks, Bob Marshall developed a lifelong commitment of wilderness advocacy which eventually lead to his efforts to organize The Wilderness Society. His initial scamps through the peaks, often dressed in tennis sneakers rather than the cumbersome climbing boots of the era, soon grew to longer excursions that included records for high peaks bagged in a day, (14). By the fall of 1937, according to W. C. White’s book, Adirondack Country, Marshall had gone on “more than 200 walks of 30 miles in a day, 50 walks of 40 miles and a number of longer walks including one of more than 75 miles.” When asked about such jaunts, Marshall remarked, “It’s a great thing these days to leave civilization for a while and return to nature.” By the 1950s, as peak bagging became increasingly popular, a number of local, summer camp counselors began a friendly competition when one counselor completed the 46 High Peaks in 11 days. Ed Palen, currently a rock climbing guide and the owner of Rock and River Lodge in Keene was a teenager counselor at Camp Pok-o-Moonshine in 1972. That was the summer when he and Sharpe Swan, a fellow counselor established a long held record for the fastest trip up the 46. Their journey took six days and 18 hours. Twenty five years later, Palen and Swan again took to the peaks, reducing their record to four days and 18 hours. Their effort was for personal gratification and little mention was made of the achievement. Palen later explained, ”We didn’t tell a soul. We tried to adhere to that philosophy: Do it and don’t tell anybody. Do it because you like to do it.” The antithesis of this concept appeared in the Adirondacks in June 2002, in the person of Ted Keizer, an ultra-marathoner, speed climber and self promoter known as Cave Dog. With the full support of The Dog Team, a full crew that provided food, drink and transportation to the various trailheads; Keizer climbed the 46 Adirondack High Peaks in a record three days, 18 hours and 14 minutes. Keizer's knack for attracting press attention to his accomplishments soured many people’s opinion about the feat. But, there is no denying the fact that it was a fast an arduous journey. Keizer's record remained intact until last summer, when Jan Wellford, a trail runner from Keene Valley covered an estimated 153 miles in 3 days, 17 hours and 14 minutes. With a limited support crew, and about nine hours of sleep over three days, Wellford, 26, managed to shave about an hour off the record. Wellford’s effort received little fanfare and even less press coverage. It was intended as a personal accomplishment, not a public affair. But eventually, someone will step to the plate to challenge his achievement.
Trail runs become increasingly popular
Edward James Nesbitt, age 8, show off two nice lake trout he caught while fishing on Lake Champlain with his grandfather, Steve Fluery of Westport. The larger fish is 8.5-pounds and the other is 7.3.
In recent years, numerous trail running events have sprouted up targeting the growing community of folks who enjoy taking a faster pace through the wilderness. These events have taken trail running to a whole, new level. The grandaddy of them all is the Damn Wakley Dam Ultra Marathon, scheduled annually for mid-July. The popular race fills up every year with returnees and open slots are only available, “if someone dies,” according to organizers. The event, now entering it’s ninth year of competition, is an extreme trail run through an uninterrupted, 32.6 mile section of the Northville Placid Trail between Piseco Lake and Wakley Dam in the West Canada Lakes Wilderness Area. With no cross roads, no aid stations and no assistance provided by support crews; the Damn Wakley Dam is “not your average run” according to race organizers who caution participants that “there are no DNF’s (do not finish) when you are running the Dam...unless you get carried out!” Such events have raised concerns about the suitability of racing through the woods. However, according to enthusiasts, running and hiking are both forms of pedestrian travel. The only distinction is the rate of travel. Trail runners pursue their sport in the wilderness for the same reasons as hikers; to enjoy the natural surroundings. The environmental impact caused by runners versus hikers is negligible. Essentially, it becomes a matter of esthetics. Is running through the forest an appropriate use? The answer depends on your point of view. Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.
