County to go ahead with Gaslight park project
By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — In the middle of winter, Antonio Abrantes stood atop snow on the Lake George Recreation center and gazed over a near-abandoned ice rink and basketball courts, imagining it full of enthusiastic young football players, including his nine-year-old son. Just months later, Abrantes vision — his “field of dreams” — is now a reality after he and his friends and fellow youth football league members donated countless hours of labor and tens of thousands of dollars of materials and cash to the football field development project. Starting this past spring, Abrantes, a contractor, and his friends in the construction business, took action to create a premium football field for the Lake George community. Abrantes and workers demolished the outdoor rink and the deteriorating asphalt courts. They drove earth movers, grading the site. They felled some trees, and moved a former warming hut to an appropriate spot, renovating it for use as a concession stand. They hauled in 10,000 cubic yards of fill dirt, truckload by truckload. They brought in 800 to 900 cubic yards of topsoil, and spread it with care, for an even level surface. They relocated water and electrical lines. Then employees of Evergreen Landscaping hydroseeded the field, after which workers nurtured the turf with nutrients and regular watering. A set of professional goal posts were ordered and installed, and a
By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — A $2.5 million grant launching the redevelopment of the former Gaslight Village property into an environmental park is now apparently on track. After lengthy debate, Warren County supervisors agreed Aug. 13 to collaborate with Lake George village and town officials in supplying seed money to leverage a pending $2.5 million federal grant for the park. County leaders had recently considered selling the 25-acre property to area environmental groups involved in the park project, which includes developing stormwater purifying wetlands at the site. But county leaders solidified their support for the project after considering the importance of retaining control over the 2.5-acre festival space in the park, located in the center of Lake George Village which annually hosts a wide variety of events that can use the grounds. “We spend a lot of money to promote tourism, and the groups that come here have to have a place to stage their events,” said William Kenny, Glens Falls Ward 5 Supervisor. “We have to retain control over that festival space.” Kenny said the festival grounds were vital to retaining events like Americade — which generates over 40 million for the area, as well as attracting new events. That location is priceless, with its view of the lake and the fact that it’s in the center of action,” he said. “Keeping that festival space is an important

Town seeks to spruce up Bennett bandstand By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — The town’s premier landmark may be receiving an 80th birthday present. The Floyd Bennett Memorial Bandstand, named after the world-famous aviator and Warrensburg native Floyd Bennett, may be getting a makeover in the near future. Floyd Bennett flew Richard Byrd on the duo’s historic attempt to reach the north pole in 1926. Whether they actually reached their destination may have been questioned later, but they captured the nation’s attention for their flight. Bennett and Byrd’s fame endured, but Bennett died two years later from pneumonia he contracted while preparing to fly on a rescue mission to the South Pole. The bandstand was erected in his honor in 1929, and the image of the bandstand since has been used as the logo representing Warrensburg to the world. But in recent years, the bandstand hasn’t appeared as pristine as its pictures, with rotting columns and cracking brickwork, outdated fixtures and peeling paint. Now, the town is seeking a grant to rehabilitate the bandstand. The board voted Aug. 12 to apply for a $125,000 grant from the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to bankroll the project.

Deputy Town Supervisor John Alexander said the grant, if received, would pay 75 percent of the rehabilitation costs, and the town would pay 25 percent or about $31,000 primarily consisting of labor contributions. “We’d like to bring the historic bandstand back to the state of grace as it deserves to be in,” Alexander said. Monday, town Public Works Superintendent Richard Galusha said the grant money would be used not only give it a facelift, but make the rest rooms in the base of the bandstand handicapped accessible, reconstruct pillars that are rotting out, and refurbish electrical wiring and service. Warrensburg bookkeeper and grant writer Patty Monahan, who wrote the successful request for funding to rehabilitate the town playground, will be drafting the grant application for the bandstand rehabilitation, town officials said. In other action at the board’s Aug. 13 meeting, the council members authorized advertising for bids for playground equipment to replace the wooden play structures at the Warrensburg Recreation Field. The bid opening for the equipment is set for Sept. 9. Also, they decided to seek bids on municipal property and casualty insurance coverage, now handled by Cool Insurance of Glens Falls and Queensbury.

The confluence of the Hudson and Schroon rivers in western Warrensburg is shown in this antique hand-colored photograph. The two rivers are showcased in a new exhibit — at the Warrensburgh Museum of Local History — in celebration of the 400th anniversary of the ‘discovery’ of the Hudson River. WARRENSBURG — As part of the regional quadricentennial celebration observing the Colonial settlers’ discovery” of the Hudson River, the Warrensburgh Museum of Local History has developed a special exhibit celebrating the role of the river and its tributary, the Schroon River, in the development of Warrensburg. A reception unveiling this exhibit to the general public will be held Friday Aug. 28 between 6 and 8 p.m. Refreshments will be served. Through a display of historic photographs, the exhibit shows how the logging industry and subsequent manufacturing facilities took advantage of
the river ’s great flow of water and drop in elevation. By the mid-19th century, three dams within the hamlet of Warrensburg took advantage of the 75-foot drop in elevation to provide power for sawmills, gristmills, tanneries — and machinery for papermaking equipment, weaving looms and sewing machines. Hundreds of jobs were created in these industries that thrived for over 100 years. Electric generating plants were also built to provide lighting for the town as well as the trolley line that connected Warrensburg with Glens Falls and points south. In addition to the photo exhibit, a large three-dimensional, hands-on dio-
rama gives children aged 2 through 8 an opportunity to experience the rivers, dams, railroad and the numerous mills and other buildings that were developed along the rivers. The Warrensburgh Museum of Local History is located at the rear of the VFW building at 3754 Main St. (just north of Potter ’s Diner). In addition to the special centennial exhibit, the museum is open every Saturday from 10 a.m. to\ 4 p.m., Sundays from noon to 3 p.m., and Wednesdays, from 1 to 4 p.m. Admission is free, and the museum is handicapped accessible.

WARRENSBURG — After canceling their 2008 holiday celebration plans three times due to ice and snow storms this winter, the Over-The-Edge Quilters & Crocheters group of Warrensburg finally held their Christmas party Wednesday Aug. 5. Held as a luncheon at Montcalm Restaurant in Queensbury, the group exchanged grab-bag gifts handmade by their members and enjoyed lunch including a Christmasthemed cake created by the Montcalm bakers. Also, the group celebrated their recent accomplishments, which are substantial. Over-the-Edge member Marina Skea said that during the group’s 20 years of existence, their crafters have created more than 7,000 quilts, afghans, blankets, hats and mittens and donated them for distribution to the needy primarily through service organizations. In the past 18 months alone, the group made and donated more than 600 items. The 19 members of Over the Edge hail from Warrensburg, Stony Creek, Chestertown, Bolton Landing and Athol. The group meets every Wednesday in the basement of the First Presbyterian Church of Warrensburg to quilt, crochet and knit. The women of Over-The-Edge work solely with donated materials. The group’s handmade items are donated to several local organizations that provide services to veterans, infants, children, teens, families in need, and critically ill children. These groups include Veterans Hospital in Albany, The Snuggery at Glens Falls Hospital, North Country Ministry in North Creek and Warrensburg, Double H Hole-In-The Woods Camp in Lake Luzerne, and WAIT House and the Domestic Violence Project, both in Glens Falls. In addition, Over-the-Edge members recently began crocheting and knitting for “Operation Iraq” which donates helmet liners to men and women serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Several members have also individually made and donated quilts to Saranac Lake Figure Skating Academy and Vermont Children’s Hospital in Burlington.

Businessman seeking to secure historic landmark By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Local businessman Chuck Bederian is seeking to preserve a local historical landmark. Bederian, co-owner with Bob Neuweiller of the tavern CB’s Spirits & Restaurant, is seeking to acquire the Woolen Mill Bridge, which spans the Schroon River beside his tavern. Bederian said Tuesday he is going to apply for permits to place the looming steeltruss bridge on his property adjacent to the river. The one-lane bridge, also known as the Milton St. Bridge, has been closed to traffic since spring 2008 due to a foundation washout and structural deterioration, according to Jeff Tennyson, Warren County Deputy Superintendent of Public Works. The county is likely to be advertising for construction bids for the replacement bridge in just a few weeks, Tennyson said. The new two-lane bridge will also be a steel-truss span, retaining much of the original bridge’s historical character, he said. The new span will have a solid deck and a pedestrian walkway, unlike the old one. The engineering designs for the new bridge are now awaiting final approval by the state Department of Transportation, Tennyson said, estimating that removal of the old span could occur in several months. Construction of the new foundation, abutments and bridge is likely to start in Spring 2010 and end next fall, he said. The new bridge is worth about $3.4 million, with another $800,000 for engineering, design and permitting, he said. Bederian said he’d like to preserve the 150-foot-long bridge, which represents a landmark in local history. For more than 100 years, it carried carriages then motorized vehicles on Milton St. across the Schroon River. Bederian is writing letters and talking with state officials to see if he can acquire the

bridge from the demolition contractor who could simply pick it up in sections and place it on his property. Tennyson said that Bederian’s effort has merit if he can obtain permits from the state, and properly tackle the problem of the bridge’s asbestos- and lead-laden paint.
Bederian said he appreciated the bridge’s history and its connection with the CB’s Spirits, which was a tavern and rooming house since it was built in 1891. The bridge was built during the last years of the 1800s as a trolley bridge for another project which was cancelled, and placed on
the Warrensburg site in 1902. “The bridge is on the historical register, it’s in a historic district as is our tavern, and we’d like to keep it in Warrensburg as a local attraction,” he said.

New festive lighting considered for village Restaurant district proposed thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — The holiday ambiance that some other villages feature — with sparkling tiny white lights strung in streetside trees year-round — may soon be coming to Lake George. Business owner John Carr, who owns the former “Wagar ’s block” and now operates a casual eatery there, requested Monday that the village board consider establishing a “restaurant district” in Lake George Village with such festive lighting. The board endorsed the concept, and Village Mayor Robert Blais said he would research the idea, find out how to accommodate such lights under laws, and make it happen as a pilot project. “We’d need to draft regulations very carefully.” noting that if such lights were allowed without restrictions, some business owners would likely put up large flashing or colored lights. “We’ll be working together and I’ll have something ready within a week.” Blais noted that other villages and cities, like Manchester Vt., Ballston Spa and Saratoga Springs — and Glens Falls at Christmastime — successfully host mini white lights in trees. He said that the decorating should be limited to the smaller streetside trees, as some trees along the village walkways were “huge.” Carr and Blais said the lighting would be accomplished with the business owners adjacent to the lit trees funding the lighting and electricity costs. During the meeting, voted to hire Ron Mogren of Saratoga Associates — at a maximum of $5,000 to update architectural plans drafted in 2000 for sprucing up the western die of Canada Street. The village is seeking a $532,000 grant to finish up a former downtown beautification project that included new brick sidewalks, curb bump-outs, lighting and landscaping. Much of Canada St. has already been completed, but a stretch along the west side of Canada St. from McGillis Ave to Mountain Drive is unfinished, and would be the targeted area for the grant funds. The grant, available through a waterfront revitalization program, would require a 50-50 match by the village, a requirement that could be fulfilled primarily with labor and services, Blais said. Monday, Carr praised the effort, and suggested the “restaurant district” surrounding his Common Man’s Bistro feature amenities that set it apart from other pedestrian areas

Town Code Enforcement Officer Rob Hickey objected to the amount he was paying at his home for water service from the village, which has a formula for its charges that factors in a residence’s value. Blais responded that the village is currently researching a new method of assessing costs for water service. The board also heard about cases where people were paying for water service after their homes had been demolished and no water was being used. In one case, the board decided to waive half of an outstanding bill, but warned it was the property owners’ responsibility to notify the village that water service should be officially ceased. The board received a letter of resignation from Village Planning Board member Dan Courtney, and they accepted it “with regret.”

rights. But Warren County Republican Election Commissioner Mary Beth Casey said her decision was based on the criteria election commissioners must follow. This had nothing to do with politics,” she said, adding that election commissioners are mandated to use narrow criteria with which to determine the validity of petitions, while judges have broader powers to interpret whether they are legal and acceptable. “The petitions simply failed to meet our criteria,” she added. McGowan said the county’s initial decision to invalidate his petition not only cost him $7,000, but it was a waste of taxpayer money to have the county attorney argue the issue in court. “I spent $7,000 to defend the right of candidates to stand up against frivolous political games,” he said.

LAKE GEORGE --A attempt by fellow Republicans to knock former town councilman George McGowan off the September Primary ballot for a town G.O.P party committee seat was stymied by court action Aug. 11. State Supreme Court Justice David Krogmann issued a decision Tuesday overturning the Warren County Board of Election’s decision to invalidate McGowan’s nominating petitions. Warren County Attorney Paul Dusek had argued in court on behalf of the Board of Elections and town resident Stephanie Merrill that McGowan had failed to include the specific geographic information on the petitions that District 2, a Republican committee seat he is seeking, was in the town of Lake George, and that this was confusing and potentially misleading to voters. Krogmann said in his decision that “overwhelming in-
formation” contained on the face of the entire petition would offset the mention of the town. McGowan characterized the petition challenge as political skullduggery. Stephanie Merrill —the daughter of Lake George Town Board member Caryl Clark who is a committee candidate alongside McGowan and retiring town Supervisor Lou Tessier for the same position — had challenged the petitions. Furthermore, McGowan said the last time he ran for town board in 2007, Tessier and Clark declined to endorse him, although he was the incumbent Republican candidate. Four years ago, they also failed to cast their vote of support. From 1996 through 2007 years, McGowan served as councilman, enjoying repeated support from the voters who espoused his iconoclastic views and a conservative approach to issues that draws heavily on Constitutional principles and individual

Moonglow plans progressing Also, the board heard plans for the village’s Moonglow event, planned for Sept. 26. Annually, a group of hot air balloons are lit up intermittently after nightfall, in synchronization with to music, by their propane inflating torches. Village Trustee Ray Perry said two balloonists, and perhaps a third or fourth, were lined up for the annual display in Million Dollar Beach parking lot. The event would include musician Rich Ortiz, he said. Board members said that Lake George Winter Carnival Committee was also sponsoring night entertainment in the OTB parking lot for a “Balloons & Tunes” fundraiser. Blais noted that the state legislative bill — that exempted municipalities from requiring their unarmed “peace officers” from statemandated firearms training — was vetoed by Gov. Paterson even though the bill had been passed overwhelmingly by both houses of the legislature. Blais noted that the state mandate required Lake George to rent guns, targets and a firing range, even though the peace officers wouldn’t be carrying or using guns. Blais said the training cost the town $15,000 several years ago, and the money was wasted. “This is a farce, and we’re going to submit this bill again every year until we get a new governor,” he said.

•100 Years Ago – August, 1909• Hotel Sagamore purchase pondered
T
he Hotel Sagamore in Bolton might possibly be purchased by the Delaware and Hudson railroad, instead of the firm rebuilding the Fort William Henry Hotel, which was destroyed June 24, 1909 in a spectacular fire. General Manager Sims, of the rail company says he favors the opening of the Fort William Henry grounds as a picnic park, with daily excursions to the area by steam and trolley trains. He does not think that it would pay to rebuild the hotel. (Note: This proposal never came to fruition. The Fort William Henry Hotel was later rebuilt. The Sagamore Hotel, near Bolton Landing, was later completely destroyed by fire on Easter Sunday, April 14, 1914. The Sagamore had been previously rebuilt after fire had destroyed the original building on June 27, 1893. The third hotel stands today on its original Green Island site.)
Nobility visits Queen Village, but leaves no tips A real live countess, wife of a member of the Russian nobility was a guest of the Grand Army House (now the site of George Henry’s Pub ) on Sunday, Aug. 22, 1909 in Warrensburgh. Traveling incognito, she registered as Mrs. H. Schwegel, of New York, but her home is in Australia. The countess was accompanied by her brother, E. Henry Smith, of New York, a maid and chauffeur, also three poodle dogs. Her ladyship’s fingers were adorned with a bewildering display of diamonds and she wore many other jewels with her magnificent costume, which set off her regal form and statuesque beauty. The arrival of the party in their fine automobile created considerable of a sensation in and about the old hotel. They were en route to Lake Placid and had expected to stop for dinner at the Fort William Henry Hotel, but finding that destroyed, they came on north to Warrensburgh. The swell appearance of the titled lady and her entourage had a some what dazzling effect on the hotel servants and inspired their best efforts to give the great lady the attention due to her great rank and station. Liberal tips were of course expected but they do say that when the glare and glitter of the party faded away in the distance, as their fancy auto puffed up Main Street, they left behind a disappointed, empty-handed and tired-out lot of servitors.
Body of drowned dentist surfaces Dr. Arthur Barber ’s body had been in Lake George waters for three weeks when, on Tuesday, Aug. 24, 1909, despite the earlier efforts of several searching parties to discover its whereabouts, the man’s body finally came to the surface. The remains were first sighted by Spencer Trask, the wealthy banker, who was traveling by launch from his cottage at
Three Brothers Island. The discovery was made about 250 feet off shore from Diamond Point and the corpse was towed to shore where it was examined by Coroner C.R. Burt. The deceased Dr. Barber was a 29 year old dentist from New Jersey who had a cottage at Dunham’s Bay. He was alone in his launch, “Pickie,” when it is believed he had an attack of vertigo, became dizzy and fell overboard. The funeral was held at the home of his father, Cicero Barber in Fort Edward. Jewelry missing, reward offered The Hubbell farm cottage, at Lake George on the Bolton Road, the summer home of J.F. Leach of Brooklyn, was burglarized Aug. 23, 1909 and $1,200 worth of jewelry was stolen. At the time of the theft, the house was in charge of the servants and Mr. and Mrs. Leach were in Fort Edward with friends. During the afternoon, a Glens Falls man was engaged in tuning a piano at the cottage but his reputation for honesty was so great that it placed him beyond suspicion. It is believed that the robbery was committed by an experienced crook. Leach has offered a $50 reward for information and an investigation is underway.
Brant Lake bass caught One of the largest bass ever caught in Brant Lake was caught Aug. 12, 1909 by Major Hall and it weighed 5 pounds, 12 ounces. On July 15, 1909 one weighing five pounds had been caught by Mr. Haight. Both fish were so heavy that they had to be brought in with a landing net. The gentlemen were guests at the Palisades Hotel and the fish have been taken to a taxidermist in New York City.
Disgruntled farmhand burns barn Charged with burning a farmer ’s barn and contents valued at $3,000 as revenge for being fired and not being paid $8 he felt was due him for back wages, James Wells, 48, of Wevertown, confessed to the crime. He is being held in the Lake George jail to await the Grand Jury, Aug. 20, 1909, on a charge of arson in the second degree. He admitted setting fire to the barn of Daniel Griffin where young livestock, farming implements, hay and grain were totally destroyed. There was no insurance. Immediately after the fire, Wells left town but was caught later by Deputy Sheriff Stone between Blue Mountain Lake and Long Lake near Wakely’s lumber camp. The criminal admitted that his motive was “to get even.”
Wool prices excite farmers With the recent sharp advance in the price of wool in this area, local farmers will hence forth pay more attention to the raising of sheep and in another year Warrensburgh and neighboring towns will be the pasture land for large flocks.
SATURDAY August 22, 2009
Wool growers are experiencing the most profitable season in the history of wool production in this entire country. Veteran wool buyer John Harris of Warrensburgh says that he bought wool for 10 cents per pound in late years, but in 1908 it was bringing 17 to 20 cents. This year he has paid 30 cents a pound or more. This has much encouraged farmers who are beginning to sit up and take notice.
News roundabout An ice cream social was held on the lawn of the Methodist parsonage in Johnsburgh, and the proceeds will be applied to the pastor ’s salary. Andrew Reidy, superintendent and Manager of the Schroon River Pulp and Paper Company’s mill at Burnhamville, had the tip of his left forefinger caught in the mill’s machinery. Dr. Griffin dressed the wound. George H. Ingram cut his thumb and Charley Armstrong cut his leg while they were trimming brush on the Meadowbrook Stock Farm in North Thurman. The steam drill and other machinery was been brought from Chester to Tumblehead Falls. The stonework for a new bridge near George Nelson’s in Bolton is to be built. On Aug. 30, 1909, Jack Frost made an appearance and nipped on plants and vines. Mrs. Guilt Everts will be teaching school this year at Garnet. W.J. Hall will race his mare, Mary Frasier, at the Warrensburgh fairgrounds next month. Albert Thieriot of Chestertown gave a dinner at the Pebloe Hotel in Brant Lake for Herr von Pitz and a gala party of nine friends. Seaford Reynolds is laying cement sidewalks on Ridge St., Warrensburgh. Walter Gessling and Miss Mary, eldest daughter of Elmer Dalrymple, were wed in Lake George. The couple is very popular among Lake George’s young set. On account of the Fort William Henry Hotel burning this year, the general dullness of this season at Lake George, the summer of 1909, is considered to be an “off-year.” (Note- 100 years later in the summer season of 2009, bad luck struck again when a sewer leak developed nearby in Shepard Park.) The Delaware and Hudson Co. railroad will run a special train, starting Sept. 8, 1909, from Saratoga for people who desire to visit the Warrensburgh Fair. For Sale: A two-family house near the Judd Bridge on River St., desirable, twelve rooms, large cellar and veranda, near trolley stop. Price: $1,200. Little cash is needed as down payment. (Note-The old trolley stop was located on the other end of the Judd Bridge where Bay Optical is now at 3695 Main Street, Warrensburg.) Advertisement: Many ills come from impure blood, such as kidney disease, faulty digestion, lazy liver, and cranky bowels. A bottle of the popular Blood Bitters at the local drug store will cure all that and purify the body.

To the editor: The Lake George Property Owners Group would like to correct some errors that appeared in The Lake George Mirror ’s July 31 issue concerning the Lake George Waterkeeper. The Mirror reported that Rolf Ronning was one of the property owner group’s founding members, which is not the case. Founding members were Barry Kincaid, Donald Russell and Rick Kudlack, followed by the strong support of more than 30 others. Ronning has not been involved with the group since he attended the first meeting. Also, in the Mirror article, Fund For Lake George director Peter Bauer totally downplayed the severity of Lake George Waterkeeper Chris Navitsky’s negligence in not keeping the registration for his Professional Engineering license current. Both Bauer and Navitsky have given the public the impression that this was a mere oversight, when Navitsky himself admitted on television that he knew it had lapsed. License lapse notices are sent to a Profession Engineer about two months before a registration is to expire. We are confident Navitsky had more than ample notice since this would have occurred in early fall 2007, as his registration expired in November that year. In a letter to the town of Bolton, Bauer again downplays this license lapse, calling it an “unintentional, innocent, human error” due to an “address change.” It is curious that Navitsky would claim that he didn’t receive the notice. State regulations require that professional engineers notify the state Education Department’s. Office of Professions within 30 days of an address change. Also, the laws of the State are clear in regard to unauthorized practice. Section 6512.1 of the state Education Law makes it a class E felony for anyone not properly licensed to either practice as a professional Engineer, offer to practice or presenting themselves as being able to practice. Clearly, Navitsky was not in compliance as recently as Aug. 3, when he was continuing to represent himself and use the title of “P.E.” as he did in a letter to the Lake George Planning Board even though as of Aug. 4 he was still not listed as being properly registered. It is disturbing that Navitsky’s employer, The Fund for Lake George, would continue to allow Navitsky representing himself in this way until his registration status was cleared up. It would seem the responsible thing to do to ensure compliance of their own staff, as is the standard they request of those they so closely monitor. More troubling in Mr. Bauer ’s letter is his claim that “a small group of individuals (seemingly the LGPOG) “who oppose the Waterkeeper program and its actions to protect the
water quality of Lake George, have attempted to exploit this matter.” LGPOG members take great offense to this claim. We strongly believe in the fair and consistent implementation of the development review process, including adherence to local laws and ordinances, by applicants and their “observers.” After all, a clean and environmentally sound Lake George is of utmost priority to all of us, whether small business proprietors or private property owners. LGPOG does not condone poor development. Also, the Mirror article claimed LGPOG was “created with the avowed purpose of countering the influence of the Waterkeeper and The Fund for Lake George.” We’re not sure where the Mirror got this, but the mission of LGPOG is to provide a voice for the “little guy” — individual property owners or small business owners who do not have an endless pocketbook to defend themselves against entities who do. The group also seeks to protect private property owners’ rights, to ensure that they are not subjected to undue time delays and expenses, often resulting from unfounded claims brought on by Navitsky, an unregistered P.E., through his last-minute letters and commentary presented to local government boards and authorities. His last-minute submissions are obviously intended to delay approvals and cause undue scrutiny, while causing unnecessary angst to property owners. LGPOG members believe that people are part of the environment, too. Thus, it would seem prudent for Bauer and The Fund to take some accountability for the illegal shortcomings of their staff, especially given the scrutiny by which they judge those around them, all of whom share the same environmental concerns for the LG Basin.

Structures must be sound, yards clean By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — A new ordinance requiring property owners in the village to keep their premises and buildings clean, safe, in good repair and well-groomed was approved Monday by the Lake George Village Board. The new law applies to residential and commercial properties, occupied or vacant. The law takes effect when it is filed with the state — expected to be soon. The ordinance requires homes and buildings to be structurally sound, in good repair, and sanitary. It mandates that gutters and all drainage systems be operable, and that fences, walls, steps, yards, walkways and driveways be maintained, in good condition and free of debris. Requirements include that the yard be groomed and free of unsightly or noxious vegetation and that shrubs be
kept trimmed. The accumulation of litter, dirt and junk is prohibited, and dead or diseased trees must be felled and removed. No debris should be left to accumulate which could attract or host rodents or wild animals. The new law prohibits feeding birds or fowl by scattering food on the ground or using open containers. All signs, awnings, and overhangs must be secured and protected against decay or weathering. Snow removed from walkways and driveways cannot be deposited on village streets or sidewalks. Property owners must have approved, covered and leak-proof garbage and recycling containers on site, and extermination of pests in buildings is required. Violations must be rectified within 10 days of notice, but the ordinance allows for time extensions in hardship situations. The ordinance empowers the village Code Enforcement Officer
to inspect any building or premises when he or she reasonably believes a violation exists. The officer is also empowered to declare an emergency situation, which mandates immediate action — and if a property owner doesn’t respond, the village can have the premises cleaned up or repaired as deemed necessary. The ordinance does provide, however, for appeals in routine cases. Fines begin at $100 for a first offense, and increase to a range of $500 to $1,000 for subsequent offenses. Another new ordinance approved Monday grants the authority for the village Fire Chief to inspect any premises if for a fire hazard, empowering him or her to mandate that any hazardous structure or item be removed or any hazardous situation remedied. Continuing hazards are referred to the town board, which can mandate remedies. Violations for inaction prompt a fine of $100.

Gaslight From page 1 investment in the future of Lake George and Warren County. Warren County supervisors approved spending $36,000 to be accompanied by $12,000 each from the town and village to pay interest and fees on a $4000,000 short-term loan that allows park infrastructure construction to begin while awaiting the arrival of grant funds. The construction would include walkways, curbing, pedestrian bridges and landscaping related the environmental park, to be developed adjacent to West Brook Rd. Lake George Village Mayor Robert Blais said the county’s decision to commit $36,000 leverages federal and state grant funding exceeding $10 million for the park development. “We’ll now see this developed into a beautiful park,” he said. The county supervisors, however, mandated that no portion of the $2.5 million be spent on the 2.5 acre festival space reserved for municipal use, because such expenditures would prohibit the county from renting out parking spaces on the property to groups staging festivals or conventions there. County officials declined to estimate the value of the grant-funded improvements for the festival space they were
Football From page 1 observed parents on the sidelines Friday who were watching their children practice. Several weeks ago, Lake George village trustees voted to officially name the new football gridiron “Edge Field” in honor of Abrantes. The name refers to Abrantes’ business, Cutting Edge Group general contracting. Lake George Mayor Blais said he was amazed by the work — and Abrantes’ community spirit. “It’s outstanding what he and others accomplished — Tony built the whole field, spending hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of dollars, constructing the field, moving buildings.” he said. “Tony made the village an offer that he’d create a firstclass football facility, and he’s done that,” Blais said. “We now have one of finest junior football fields in the region — it’s a magnificent facility and wonderful addition to our offerings at the recreation center.” Village Trustee echoed the point Monday.
rejecting, however. These votes Aug. 23 by the county Finance Committee are subject to a vote Friday of the full county board of supervisors. Monday, the three municipalities and representatives of the environmental groups met and the politicians proposed a swap between the parties: in exchange for squaring off the festival site with additional space, the municipal officials would agree to a feature the environmentalists have been seeking — a curve in West Brook Rd. that allows for a catch basin. The supervisors had denied this request last month, citing that a sediment trap could be located near the lake — at a lower cost — without changing the road’s course. During the Monday meeting, the idea of converting the northbound lane of West Brook Rd. into a stretch of parking spaces was discussed, county officials said. With such a change, the southbound lane would be converted to twoway traffic. The 12.7-acre West Brook/Gaslight environmental park is to be chiefly comprised of wetlands, marshes and a series of settling ponds to filter stormwater that now runs down West Brook. These engineered, landscaped waterways are intended to filter out silt and dissolved chemicals from the runoff from the southern region of village that environmentalists say is the leading threat to the purity of water in the lake’s southern end.
“Tony did a fantastic job,” he said. While municipal officials praised Abrantes for his vision and accomplishments, Abrantes credited others. “Probably 10 to 15 folks worked on the project, and many bent over backwards to do the work at cost or as a donation.” Among those donating cash, Abrantes said, were Environmental Design Partnership, HDD Robbins, Key Bank, LCS&Z and Northwest Mutual. Donating use of equipment or labor were: Alan King, Anderson Equipment, Baker Irrigation, Evergreen Landscaping, Kubricky Construction and Robert Howard. Offering materials at deep discounts were: Lake George Sand & Gravel, and Pat Galusha Construction, Abrantes said. “A lot of folks I do business with came together, and we just got it done,” he said. “If there‘s a will, there‘s a way.” Lake George Town Board Member Vinnie Crocitto, who helped make the project a reality, said he was impressed with the work accomplished. “There was an unbelievable amount of effort, whether it was donation of time or materials,” he said. “This is a great asset to the youth of Lake George.”

SATURDAY August 22, 2009 viously busy all season building new camps. Ironically, in some instances, the state of the national economy ...what happens was negatively influwhen there aren’t enced by the very bankers and investenough children to ment brokers whose support a school? camps these guys built. Is it any wonder that — Dr. Russel Rider our local communities are hemorrhaging their youth? What is left for kids to do? What do they have to look forward to? Are there any truly viable opportunities for sustainable, year-round employment? And what do we have to offer to the youth of the park in terms of positive opportunities for entertainment? Where are their hangouts if there isn’t a local diner, bowling alley, movie theatre, private gym or a place to swim? It would be wonderful if all of the park’s resident youth enjoyed outdoor activities, but we know that isn’t the case. Some individuals are made for that life, many are not. With such a glaring lack of opportunities for positive recreational outlets, it’s no wonder that the allure of negative recreational outlets has become so enticing. Last summer, I ran into a group of teenagers along a remote stretch of the Schroon River, near the salmon weir in North Hudson. There were a few tents set up and a couple of pickup trucks. I asked the group what was the draw that brought them into the woods? Why were they visiting such a lonely, out of the way location? I was hoping their answer would be because they wanted to enjoy the deep woods, the rushing waters or experience the solitude of wilderness. I imagined they had come to fish, to swim and to sit around the campfire. Unfortunately, they told me the truth! “We come out here to get away from everyone, not because we like it here, there’s just no other place to hangout and have a beer!” explained one teen. “Since we can’t legally drink until we’re 21, we’ve got to hide. And that’s why there’s always trash left behind. We don’t want to be caught with a bunch of empties in the truck on the way home.” There was no talk about the beauty of the pristine wilderness, no conversation about loons, brook trout or soaring mountain peaks. The conversation centered on the lack of entertainment. Sure, they could always hunt or fish or hike or bike, but we must remember that teens will be teens. “If we had a local hangout, it would be real cool,” explained a red-haired fellow. “But, we’d still have to come back here to drink our beer.” It’s a sad statement on the state of the park when the main draw of wilderness for our youth, is a place to sneak a beer. What does it say about our future?

A park in trouble
I
n last week’s column, I summarized data from the recently released, Adirondack Park Regional Assessment Report. The document researched issues concerning local communities, residents and the economic state of the region. The report detailed a number of disturbing trends that should be of great concern to all Adirondack residents or any others who care about the park. The Adirondack Park has often been touted as a model for conservation and preservation where “man and nature coexist, side by side, in a sustainable fashion.” If population trends continue at the current rate, however, the model will soon be obsolete. It may remain a park, but there will be far fewer people and little or no sustainable economy. While there is no denying the fact that the Adirondacks remain a unique and beautiful place, the statistics reveal a rather seedy side that is hidden in the underbelly of the park. According to the report, the Adirondack population is aging at a pace roughly three times the national average. Smaller communities that form the core of the park are atrophying. Second home owners and seasonal residents now constitute a majority in these communities. Some Hamilton County communities have been described as “dark towns,” because there isn’t a single light shining from a window in the winter. Villages have been shuttered for the winter when the majority of residents are second home owners. “Inside the park” residents are on average five years older than residents of the state and communities inside the Blue Line have experienced an increase in median age of nearly nine years while the median age of out of the park residents has risen by only three years in the same timeframe. Of greatest concern is a notable decline in residents under the age of 10 and a growing exodus of residents between the ages of 20 and 35 (the child bearing years). Students in grades K-12 represent only 13.5 percent of the park’s population, as compared to 18 percent nationally. School enrollments in the park have decreased by 329 stu-
dents annually throughout the current decade, which is equivalent to the loss of one average size Adirondack school district every 19 months. Schools are the epicenter of a community. When a community can no longer afford a school system, it is the societal equivalent of heart failure. A community without children will not survive. Schools define a place. They are the thread that holds the social fabric of a community together. Schools are the society’s center, a place for alumni to return and families to meet. Its the place were sports, theatre, concerts and other events happen. Dr. Russell Rider, a community physician based in Long Lake explained, “Our population is going to further contract. The people having children now are the school teachers, they’re usually younger than most. But, what happens when there aren’t enough children to support a school?” When consolidation forces rival schools to form as a unit, it further dilutes a community’s spirit and independence. It is difficult to accept former opponents as teammates, especially when you’ve grown up listening to stories about the rivalries. Adirondackers, as a rule are a very independent lot, they are proud of their hometowns and want them to remain the same. Unfortunately, for many reasons, the reality of the situation points in the opposite direction. There is no denying the fact that the Adirondacks have become a state sponsored (one out of every three jobs in the park is with the government) and a state created playground. Many of the region’s most exclusive resorts cater primarily, as they often tout, to the “wealthiest one percent of the world.” While the region may be within a days drive of over 120 million visitors, it is also accessible in less than one hour’s journey via private jet. The region may not have many contractors employed in the construction of affordable housing for local residents, but there is still a huge demand for workers to construct private hangars at local airports or build lavish lakefront camps. Historians labeled the period from the late 1880’s through the early 1900’s as the “Hey Days of the Adirondacks.” It was a time when towns grew, commerce prospered and grand hotels created a bubble of economic activity. While numerous Adirondack style “Great Camps” sprouted up across the park during the Hey Days, there have been more, modern day “Great Camps” built in the Tri-Lakes region over the last decade, than there were historically existing in total across the entire park. The current lull in the building industry, due primarily to the economic condition of our country, has forced many local contractors to seek work elsewhere. Many local roofers, masons and carpenters are now working on the road outside the Blue Line. The same workers were pre-

Local officials unnerved by APA shoreline survey Agency defends photographing sites By Jonathan Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Local government officials in the southern Adirondacks are criticizing the Adirondack Park Agency’s recent surveying tactic of photographing private property along waterway shorelines, characterizing it as an invasion of privacy. But APA officials defended their actions this week, calling the survey technique as merely a method of establishing a much-needed database. But area officials say the agency may be gathering evidence for future enforcement actions against property owners for land-use violations that they haven’t yet committed.
According to APA Deputy Director of Planning Jim Connolly, the agency has been taking pictures of inpark shorelines from boats for the past two years. So far, the shorelines of 33 lakes have been photographed – with a special focus on the structures built on lakeside private property. “It is providing us with a better database of what is on the shorelines of lakes within the park – a database of facts,” Connolly said. “It is an important practice for the agency when it comes to permitting and the protection of shorelines.” But to Adirondack Local Government Review Board Executive Director Fred Monroe — supervisor of the Town of Chester — the floatby photography reeks of “big brother” government. “The APA is photographing private residences with the direct purpose of collecting evidence for future enforcement actions against
citizens,” he said. “This is going on without probable cause or any other reasoning.” APA Board of Commissioners Chairman Curt Stiles said that the practice has been discussed several times in agency meetings, although not with a great deal of fanfare. Agency Legal Counsel John Banta noted that the primary intent of the survey is to establish a baseline of where the region’s shorelines stand at present and that the practice is legal and appropriate. Banta argued that using the photographs for enforcement would be an atypical application – but is not out of the question. “Enforcement applications are not the primary goal,” Banta said. “But I am not going be naive about it either.” But for Monroe — whose property on Brant Lake was recently photographed —
and his local government peers, the survey is just an example of government trampling on people’s privacy. “I had no idea who they were: the FBI, CIA, terrorists,” he he said. “I can just see this as something that is going to pit neighbor against neighbor for years to come and will have no redeeming value.”

denpubs@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — Several Adirondack Park Agency commissioners indicated Thursday that they aren’t comfortable with the agency’s restrictive tower policy being applied to residential wind turbines. At the APA Regulatory Programs Committee meeting Thursday, commissioners were faced with two applications for the construction of two proposed residential turbines – one in Essex, the other in Indian Lake. Committee member Dick Booth helped steer the conversation from the two project applications into a debate over the Agency’s imposition of the tower policy in determining whether to approve or deny wind turbine developments. “It seems to me we need to look at this apart from the tower policy,” Booth said.
“We have to ponder the question: have these become acceptable structures for residential uses in general?” The APA tower policy was originally drafted to assure the “substantial invisibility” of telecommunications towers. Officials said the intent is to protect against projects that may adversely effect the aesthetic character of the park. Committee member Art Lussi questioned when the policy’s scope was expanded to include wind turbines. “The agency staff determined to apply it to other types of projects,” he said. “Did we actually ever adopt that as a board?” Two other commissioners agreed with the assertion that the tower policy may be inappropriate when considering wind turbines. Agency Deputy Director Mark Sengenberger suggested that the concept of “substantial invisibility” is high-
ly subjective and problematic to impose, but that commissioners should undertake more wind turbine hearings before drafting a new separate policy. APA Board of Commissioners Chairman Curt Stiles said Thursday that the applicability discussion needs to happen, but not while the board is making decisions on particular projects. He said that the agency is attempting to streamline its permitting processes to make them more userfriendly. The committee unanimously approved both individual wind turbine projects, as did the full board on Friday. Regardless of the outcome, APA officials said that issue of using the tower restrictions in reviewing wind turbine projects, is a matter than must be addressed.

HORICON — So much in the town of Horicon has changed over time — but many aspects remain the same. A lot of water has gone over the dam in that little mill pond in the Brant Lake hamlet over the years since the town was settled. Some believe that the lake was named for Joseph Brant, the Indian leader who was aligned with the British and fought colonial settlers during the American Revolution. Another theory exists that Brant Lake was named for the species of waterfowl known as the Brant duck, according to town of Horicon Historian Colleen Murtagh. In the 1820s, Moses Stickney bought
just about all the territory that’s now the town of Horicon, and he logged much of the land, Murtagh tells us. Stickney’s nephew, Judson N. Barton then arrived in the area and was formative in its development. In 1831, Barton came from his birthplace of Warrensburgh to Hayesburgh, a small farming settlement close to Brant Lake. He later described the area as “all new.” Gordon’s Gazeteer in 1836 described it as “mountainous and wild, covered with woods and abounding with iron ore.” Barton married Lucretia Smith, and they had five children. Earlier, his grandfather, Jonathan Barton had located in Bolton with his brother, Timothy Barton in 1796. The store in Bartonville (now Brant Lake) was started in 1869 by Judson Barton and Albert Rand, and their stock comprised everything to be found in a
first-class general store. It was a store, post office, polling place and town hall. In 1882, Scott Barton became postmaster and he purchased his father ’s interest in the business. Decades later, the hamlet was called Elbow. In 1890 George Carpenter was supervisor and there was a population of 1,582 people. On January 1, 1893 the name of the hamlet was officially changed to Horicon, although some sources say that it was informally called by that name as early as 1838. In 1895, a new store building was built which was to become a landmark for a century. For about 110 years, this general store was not only a commercial hub of the hamlet, but a place people met, bought necessities, and socialized. This

History From page 10 store was integral to the fabric of life — but in 2006, the building and the enterprise met their demise, as is described later in this article.
Passing through the 20th Century On November 1, 1934 the name of the town of Horicon was officially changed to Brant Lake by postal office officials. Mason Lackey was supervisor that year. Now, let me share some quotes from the Warrensburg News from August, 1959 that describe new developments 50 years ago. “Miss Helen Persons has purchased the Waterview Restaurant at Brant Lake from Edward Scripture. The property overlooks the mill pond in the center of the village. It is the former Ice Cream Bar and Gift Shop which Mr. and Mrs. Winfield Carpenter owned several years ago. Miss Persons will remodel and have an ice cream bar, restaurant and gift shop and she will change the name to Brandock Restaurant and Motel. “This unique property was the former Grist Mill property built by Moses Hedges which was purchased by Judson Barton and his three sons, John, Scott and Smith Barton. They also owned the general store, now owned by Paul Brunette, the former Cronin store and the local sawmill. The Bartons and their business activities gave the name Bartonville to the village. “Judson Barton’s home is now owned by Fred Parker. John Barton lived where the Horicon Central School is now located. Scott lived in the former Dennis Sullivan place now owned by the Dion Estate. Smith lived across the mill pond where Mrs. Ann Cronin Townsand lives now. “A water right was owned by Dewitt Barton Sr., and William Bester who operated a cabinet shop which still stands today and is owned by Mr. Barton’s daughter, Mrs. Horatio Bolton. In 1957, Paul Brunette still owned the Brant Lake Store, which stood for about 110 years across the road from the Mill Pond, having bought the enterprise from a man named Cronin. Brunette passed away after a few years and his wife, Thelma Williams Brunette, 88, died in 2006. The store closed in 1969. Roger and Jane Daby reopened the store in 1979 when they were looking for a change of pace from their regular jobs, and it quickly became the social and commercial center of the hamlet. They owned it for 25 years and ran it with the help of their daughter, Jennie Rowe. The store was revered by locals and visitors alike, whether someone was purchasing camping supplies, staples, or deli items — or enjoying a hearty cup of coffee with a sandwich and conversation with friends. It was also the best place to hear local lore or catch up with news, shared among friends or from the Daby’s array of newspapers, local and national. Steve and Valerie Haviland Steinman became the next owners in 2004 and the store thrived under their ownership. Patti Frasco worked in the store. Unfortunately, the store was burned down Aug. 1, 2006 in an act of arson by Brian Hodges, 27, a firefighter from Cohoes who was enamored with a teen-aged girl who was living above
BRANT LAKE HISTORY• ADIRONDACK JOURNAL - 11
the store at the time. Prosecutors successfully argued that Hodges’ motive was he wanted the girl to relocate closer to him. Hodges claimed he was trying to demonstrate how unsafe the building was, but didn’t intend to hurt anyone. Hodges started the fire under a deck at the store after midnight, and 10-year-old Ricky Haviland who was staying upstairs alerted the family, enabling five to escape the flames. The Steinmans decided not to rebuild the store and later bought a small store in Steuben County. The hamlet of Brant Lake was devastated by the loss of the historic old Barton store which had been the center of commerce for many generations. Today there is nothing left except an empty lot where the store building had stood for about 110 years. The community grieved the loss of the Brant Lake store, both for the rich history it represented, and because it was such a vibrant aspect of the local social scene. However, Suzie Q’s Restaurant, some distance east on Rte. 8, now serves as a community destination for socializing, as does the Horicon Town Hall complex which incorporates a library and community center. This complex was built in 2001 on the site of the old Horicon Central School, which for decades after the consolidation of area schools in 1974 into the North Warren School district, had become North Warren’s sole elementary school building. Many were dismayed at the loss of that historic stone school building as well, even though it was in need of extensive repairs. Time continues to roll on, but the loss of the Brant Lake general store, for years the center of community activity, truly represents the end of an era for the hamlet.

The Carriage Barn structure at Bonnie Brae Villa may undergo renovation if its owners and members of Warrensburg Beautification have their way. Ed Corlew, a relative of the owners, is working with the Beautification group to devise ideas for reuse and restoration. The group is holding an open house from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday at the barn so the public can offer input. It’s located in uptown Warrensburg, on Main St. behind the post office. Photo by Thom Randall
WARRENSBURG — The owners of the historic Bonnie Brae Carriage Barn in Warrensburg invite the public to join them for an open house and reception from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 23 at the barn, located behind the Warrensburg Post Office. This late 19th-century carriage barn exists today without modification, representing the wealth and prosperity enjoyed by the original occupants of the former Bonnie Brae Villa, according to Teresa Whalen of Warrensburgh Beautification, Inc. The Bonnie Brae Villa, in its later years a restaurant and bed-and-breakfast enterprise, was consumed by fire more than 25 years ago. In 2001, the barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places along with over 220 other properties in the Warrensburg hamlet’s Historic District. Members of Warrensburgh Beautification and the Warrensburgh Historical Society will be available to share details regarding the history of the barn. People are welcome to view the structure, share any information they may have regarding the property, and discuss the possibilities for future use of the barn and the potential construction of additional structures that would be architecturally compatible.

Governor seeking to streamline bureaucracy, ease regulations
We are really proud of our area families.
By Jonathan Alexander
Here are some Kidsville News demographics you might want to be a part of…
ALBANY — An executive order signed by Gov. David Paterson this last week has environmental and labor groups fretting, but has gaining substantial support from those backing economic development. Paterson’s mandate is expected to initiate sweeping reform across the 110 state agencies by stripping power from regulatory boards and commissioners, and handing it over to five handpicked insiders of Paterson’s administration —with an eye on economic development. The order requires a review of each regulatory agency ,within the sprawling state government bureaucracy, by the newly formed Regulatory Review Reform Committee. The order states that the committee will conduct a review of regulations and paperwork for each state agency and that those procedures that are deemed outdated, unbalanced, unwise or unduly burdensome to business development will be eliminated. In response, environment, labor and consumer advocacy organizations across the state have called emergency meetings to discuss the potential consequences of the order and the best methods of combating the fallout. Sierra Club Atlantic Chapter representative Roger Downs said last week the Sierra Club is “absolutely opposed” to the order. Downs said that the regulations currently in place are meant to preserve and improve public health and well-being — and the order will do no good in the long term. “We have a structure in place to review regulations and this is just a gift to business,” he said. Downs said he is worried that regulations which mandate reduced greenhouse gas emissions and labor-friendly employment practices may be at risk. Meanwhile, the new measure has prompted several government watchdog organizations to question how open such a closeknit review committee will be. But governor’s office spokesman Morgan Hook said Tuesday that such concerns are unfounded. He said Paterson supports many regulations and environmental groups have nothing to worry about. ”There are regulations that are necessary and are there for a reason,” he said. “Those regulations aren’t going anywhere.” The regulatory review committee is composed of five senior members of Paterson’s cabinet. His secretary Lawrence Schwartz, who regularly refers to himself the governor’s enforcer, will chair it. The first round of the committees review process will delve into the inner functions of the Department of Environmental Conservation, the Department of Health, the Department of State, the Department of Taxation & Finance and the State Liquor Authority. Hook said New York State has a stigma that has been driving businesses away for years, and this measure is the Governor’s attempt to change that. ”We’re hoping to make changes to the more outdated and burdensome regulations that have no place in a 21st century economy,” he said.

InBrief
Boy falls from moving train ing on the train. The train was traveling approximately 10 miles per hour along a straight track toward the depot in North Creek when the child fell. The conductor witnessed feet exit the window and radioed the engineer while initiating the emergency brakes on the train. The train quickly stopped and the child re-boarded on his own. At the start of each train ride, Welz said, the conductor gives a safety warning. This ride was no different. The only injury reported was a minor laceration to the head, which was treated by train employees and two nurses aboard the trip. Officers from the Warren County Sheriff ’s Department and the Johns-
By Lindsay Yandon lindsay@denpubs.com JOHNSBURG – A 4-year-old boy fell from the open window of a moving tourist train Friday, Aug. 14 but escaped with only minor injuries, authorities said. According to Cliff Welz, railroad manager at the upper Hudson River Railroad, the boy’s fall was simply an accident. While kneeling on a bench near an open window of the train, the child lost his balance and fell headfirst to the gravel bed below, Welz said. Welz noted the windows on the train remain open as a courtesy to passengers because there is no air condition-

burg Ambulance Squad responded to the scene and met the train at the depot. The child was transported to Glens Falls Hospital for further treatment. Police said a full report on the incident will be forthcoming later in the week. “The conductor did everything according to the rules and regulations of the railroad,” said Welz. “I can’t imagine the crew handling it any better than they did.” In its 11 years of operation, the Upper Hudson Railroad has never experienced an accident of this nature. The train has not cancelled any trips and continues to run normally.

Twice the Fun: Double-Coupon Days L
ast week, I mentioned that pairing dollar coupons with dollar sales at the grocery store are one of my favorite ways to get items for free. Another easy way? Double-coupon days. Coupon "doubling" occurs when a store matches a coupon's face value and passes the added bonus savings on to you, the shopper. Here's how it works. When you go to the checkout and hand the cashier a 50-cent coupon during double-coupon days, the cashier scans it and the cash register automatically doubles the value of that coupon to $1. You receive a dollar savings on one item with one 50-cent coupon. Grocery stores handle double-coupon promotions differently. Some stores double coupons up to a certain amount every day. Others offer double-coupon promotions on certain days of the week or certain weeks of the month. Still others offer double coupons on some days and triple coupons on others. During a triple-coupon promotion, a 50-cent coupon is worth $1.50. These sales are definitely worth checking out because stores that double coupons make it very easy for shoppers to get groceries for free or at big discounts. However, in my experience, many stores have specific rules for the ways they double coupons. You'll want to refer to your store's coupon policy to determine exactly how your store handles these promotions. Visit the store's Web site for the information or ask for a copy of the guidelines next time you're shopping. For example, one national grocery store chain will dou-
ble all coupons worth up to 55 cents every day of the week. Another national chain doubles coupons up to $2 each, but they only run this promotion for one week each month. Some stores will double Internet coupons, others won't. It's important to find out exactly how your store handles doubles so that you aren't disappointed at the checkout. Let's go back to our example from last week, the "dollar sale" at the grocery store. Our store has many items on sale for $1, including cans of soup, toothbrushes and bags of frozen vegetables. Our store also doubles coupons up to $1 in value. How can we get things for free? Well, any coupon with a value of 50 cents will automatically be doubled to $1. I have a 50-cent coupon for the soup, a 55-cent coupon for the toothbrush and a 75-cent coupon for the vegetables. With those three coupons doubling in value, I'll be taking home a can of soup, a toothbrush, and a bag of frozen veggies all free. It's important to note, too, that coupons typically do not double over the value of the item. This is different from the way some stores handle "overage," which is when your coupon's value exceeds the cost of the item you're buying. At many stores, using a $1 coupon on an item that is on sale for 75 cents will not only give you that item for free, it will also take an extra quarter off your total purchase. This is the overage value that was left over after your $1 coupon paid for your 75-cent item. However, when a store offers double coupons, they're matching the coupon's value out of their own pocket. So, using a $2 coupon on a
$3.79 bottle of spray cleaner will get you the cleaner for free, as the coupon doubles up to $4, but it will not give you that extra 21 cents in overage. However, you'll be taking items home for free, and who doesn't love that? Now, don't fret if you no stores double coupons in your area. Coupon doubling tends to be a regional phenomenon. Here in the Chicago area, none of our grocery By Jill Cataldo stores double coupons, ever! The closest stores that do are 45 minutes from where I live. (And yes, I take "coupon field trips" to them on occasion.) But I do the bulk of my weekly shopping in a store that does not double coupons, and I still manage to cut my bill by half or better with coupons each week.

InBrief CB’s Spirits to hold client appreciation party WARRENSBURG — The popular local tavern CB’s Spirits & Restaurant has been enjoying a good first year in business with considerable client loyalty, so it’s time to pay them back, CB’s co-owner Chuck Bederian said Tuesday. CB’s Spirits will be holding a Customer Appreciation party Saturday Aug. 22 in celebration of their first-year anniversary in business. The party starts at 3 p.m. and extends far into the night. The tavern is located at 222 River St. in Warrensburg. The event will include entertainment and savory homestyle food including burgers, hot dogs, sausage & peppers, and salad, Bederian said. “There will be food, fun, friends and family,” he said. The anniversary occurred on June 28, but Bederian sought to hold it later, so all the summer visitors could attend. Entertainment, to begin at 7 p.m., includes the acoustic duo “Just Cuz” which features Todd Brunell and Jennifer Fitzpatrick, who are cousins.
Two extra fireworks dates added LAKE GEORGE — Due to a sizeable contribution received from a local tourist enterprise, Lake George Village is adding two extra Thursday night fireworks shows this season — one on Aug. 27, and the other, Sept. 3. Both shows are sponsored by the Lake George Steamboat Co., Mayor Robert Blais said.
Shoppers at the Warrensburgh Riverfront Farmers Market select produce Friday as they listen to strains of recorder music. The market, open Fridays through summer beginning at 3 p.m., offers meat, maple syrup and specialty goods as well as fresh local produce. Photo by Thom Randall

‘Chrissy’s Chairs’ to be auctioned Saturday BOLTON LANDING — Over this summer, residents and visitors have seen an Adirondack leisure mainstay in an entirely new light, as 17 fancifully painted, artist-created Adirondack chairs have been on display throughout town. Saturday, they will be auctioned off in a fundraiser and gala from 5 to 8 p.m. Aug. 22 at Sweet Pea Farm Perennials & Art Gallery, 121 Federal Hill Rd., Bolton. Many of the artists are scheduled to be on hand to meet the public. Entertainment will be featured at the event. The proceeds will go to the Christine Nicole Perry Trust, a foundation run by Christine’s parents, Mark and Linda Perry, owners of Sweet Pea Farm. Christine died several years ago at a young age in an out-of state automobile crash, Waller said. Since then the foundation has awarded money to various community service causes and scholarships at Bolton Central. Proceeds of this auction of “Chrissy’s Chairs,” will go to High Peaks Hospice. Sweet Pea Farm can be found by following Horicon Ave. out of Bolton landing, which leads into Federal Hill Rd. Signs should provide sufficient direction, said Waller, a friend of the Perry family. “Every chair is unique, showcasing each artist’s wonderful imagination,” she said. For details, see www.sweetpeafarmperennials.com or call Wauneata Waller at 644.3880.
