thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — This year, dozens of northern Warren County residents may be benefiting from Warrensburg’s nationally known World’s Largest Garage Sale event. An effort is now underway to prompt Chestertown and Horicon residents to hold a community sale in conjunction with the massive annual “World’s Largest” event, set to occur this year on Sept. 29 and 30. The Tri-Lakes Business Alliance is organizing the effort to recruit homeowners to host garage and yard sales at their residences, as well as occupying spaces along Main St. in Chestertown for a “midway” of sales in the community. “With over 100,000 people expected to attend the World’s Largest sale in Warrensburg the same weekend, we feel we can draw some of the traffic up Route 9 into Chestertown,” Alliance

County’s pending grants a record sum By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Although radically downsized less than a year ago, the Warren County Planning staff has secured or is seeking nine major grants representing a record sum — and their
work received praise recently from county leaders. County Planning Director Wayne LaMothe presented a list of the grants, totalling $3.02 million, to the Warren County Board of Supervisors last week. The planners, under the leadership of county Planning Director Wayne
LaMothe and now-consultant Patricia Tatich, obtained a $324,500 state grant for flood mitigation work in the towns of Bolton and Thurman. The grant funds projects to rebuild road crossings of Patterson Brook in Thurman and Indian Brook in Bolton. The damage was determined not eligible for

Exhibit to feature whimsical but brooding paintings by Marc Roder By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Packed with intricate symbols, Painter Marc Roder ’s detailed, abstract works appear to be a collision between
nature and cultural phenomena. Decoding his works, or simply enjoying the lyrical energy of the depictions, takes on fresh aspects after hearing how he takes his inspiration from an intriguing array of sources. “I have drawn from the ever-changing

landscape of popular culture and the retooling of our common mythical journeys inspired by Carl Jung, Ovid, Shakespeare, John LeCarré, Walt Disney and Homer — both the Greek and Simpson,” he said in a prepared statement. This explanation sheds light on his busy, colorful and engaging recent works that will be on display soon at the Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery, 1 Amherst St. in Lake George Village. The show opens Saturday Sept. 15 with an opening artist’s reception planned for 6 to 8 p.m. — during the intermission of the Arts Project’s Jazz Weekend. The show extends Through Oct. 19. Roder says his paintings mix personal stories and memories with historical and popular myths. “In my paintings the accumulations of human debris suggest a world where the life of the object stands in for the presence of the figure and biological activity,” he said. “Human striving and tinkering are strewn over the armature of earth, water and sky.” Roder studied at the San Francisco Art Institute, received his B.A. in Fine Art from the University of California at Santa Cruz, and his M.F.A. in Painting from the University of Pennsylvania. His work was included in recent exhibitions at Alberta College of Art and Design, Canada; as well as in galleries scattered across Canada and the continental U.S. — from Florida, Louisiana and New York State to his home base in Oregon. This exhibition is funded in part by Price
“Reef,” a recent work by Oregon painter Marc Roder, is among the works on display at the Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery from Sept. 15 to Oct. 19. An opening reception is set for 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday Sept. 15. Chopper's Golub Foundation, Hacker Boat Company, Inc., and the state Council on the Arts. The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and noon to 4 p.m. Saturday. The Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets.

Letters to the Editor Say ‘No deal’ to state land purchase To the Adirondack Journal: A sellout is looming. Local officials are thinking of dropping their opposition to the state acquisition of the 100 square miles of former Finch Pruyn lands in exchange for government economic development funds. Over a decade ago, the officials in the Catskill region, which contains most of the watershed lands for New York City, sold out along the same lines as Chestertown Supervisor Fred Monroe suggested recently (Adirondack Journal, Sept. 1). Monroe’s idea is that the state should cough up $50 million for economic development and infrastructure in the Adirondack region to match the amount that the state intends to spend for the Finch lands. The reasoning is that the loss of timber production and related economic activity on the Finch lands when the properties become “forever wild� should be counteracted with a state infusion of money. About a decade ago, the idea of accepting a straightjacket on the local land in exchange for a small fortune of aid from the New York City and the state was tried in the Catskills with a particular twist: The city and state offered funds to build infrastructure for protection of the city’s water supply if the local officials would sign the Watershed Memorandum that the city had framed. The local officials dropped their opposition to the agreement. They got lots of money to dole out for advanced private septic systems and to contract for sewage treatment infrastructure. However, when the money was used up, the terms of the Watershed Memorandum continued to batter the economy. At the same time, the city and state are getting critical control of the real property tax base. No “deal� can compensate for the state acquisition of the fine timber producing land that Finch Pruyn owned. With almost three million acres of state-owned “forever wild� forest in the Adirondacks, plus over 700,000 acres of perpetual state-owned conservation easements where no one can live, our region is already drastically hemmed in. The state already shovels funds into the economy here, but businesses and schools keep closing—because the land base is being wiped out, leaving remaining property owners like “inholders� in a national park, and because of the regulatory hoops imposed by the state land use control agency, the APA. Grasping control over the distribution of tons of money is a special form of pleasure for government officials. At the same time, the environmentalists know that the key to the success of their goal to restore the Adirondacks to preColonial wilderness is to own the land. If the largest state acquisition in this century is endorsed by local officials, this “common ground� with environmentalists will be another nail in the coffin of the Adirondack people and culture.

Land purchase will lead to demise of wildlife, access restrictions To the Adirondack Journal: Gov. Andrew Cuomo shows the same hatred and contempt that his father Mario showed towards the Adirondacks, its people, its natural resources, and its environment. By advocating the purchase of the Finch/ Nature Conservancy lands, Cuomo totally ignored the wishes and concerns of our local elected governing officials and the area residents. Instead, he chose to destroy more than 300 jobs, 200 sportsmen’s camps, and the economy of the local towns and villages. He also chose to destroy all wildlife habitat and fishery, as well as aquatic life on 69,000 acres of lands and waters. Instead of keeping these lands classified as active statemanaged lands with wildlife habitat and forest management — providing jobs and economic benefits — he damned these lands and waters to eternal destruction. We have all seen the lack of habitat on forest preserve lands. Wildlife is left to starve and die without food and shelter. Over 3,000 bodies of water have been poisoned, silted, and all aquatic life, including our native brook trout murdered and driven into extinction. Cuomo will now add another 175 lakes to this list. There will be no fish stocking, as each year we see DEC fishery and hatchery staff deleted, less fish being raised, and less waters stocked. Additionally, as we have seen in every Unit Management Plan drafted by the state, the vast majority of the people will be banned from these lands. Sportsmen, disabled veterans, handicapped, elderly, and other outdoor recreation enthusiasts will be denied access. These lands and waters, as we have seen with existing forest preserve lands, will become morgues with no wildlife, with polluted waters, and no access. All motorized travel will be banned — no snowmobiles, ATV’s, ORV’s or motorboats, plus road closures, as we have seen in every management plan to date. Claims otherwise by the state are a lie, as history has shown us. Cuomo lies when he says he supports job growth, industry, and business — and this planned purchase proves it. The time is long overdue for the sportsmen, local citizens, veterans, handicapped, elderly, and others to demand our elected officials take action to protect our communities. It is time to demand legislation that restricts forest preserve classification to those lands above 3,000 feet in elevation. It’s time to demand active management of all state-owned lands, including all forest preserve lands, for wildlife habitat and forestry products. It’s time to remove Cuomo and all other eco-terrorist supporters from office. Don Sage, Paradox

Letter to the Editor
Socializing, smiles gone from local mealsite To the Adirondack Journal: I strongly object to the recent move of the county’s senior mealsite from the United Methodist Church to Countryside Adult Home, and the following is just a sample of my reasons why. I am not only a senior citizen. I was the Mealsite Manager in Bolton Landing for 20 years, and worked as a substitute for the past seven years both in Bolton Landing and in Warrensburg. I also serve as a member of the county Office of the Aging council, so I’m looking at this situation from many levels: The Warrensburg United Methodist church supplied us with a site for well over 30 years. Yes, the mealsite was not handicapped accessible, but Warren County wouldn’t chip in a install a decent chairlift or offer to fix the one that existed there. The church couldn’t afford to fix it, so they removed it. A misconception exists about the cost of continuing to operate the mealsite there. Warren County never paid the church “rent� as has been stated many times. In fact, the church was reimbursed for a portion of the church’s heat and electrical expenses, and Warren County paid for the cooking stove’s natural gas. They also shared in the cost of snow plowing, which actually the town could have accomplished — other towns perform this service for their mealsites. Also, our seniors could visit anytime the mealsite was open and have coffee,

tea or hot chocolate and sometimes a snack. The church mealsite was a place for fellowship, friendship and a good meal — not so where we are now. We are not allowed into Countryside until 12:15 p.m. and must be out by 1 p.m. Plus, it’s all “our people� and “your people� — we are not allowed to intermingle with the Countryside residents. The mealsite program is supposed to provide one-third of a person’s recommended daily nutritional needs, but they don’t. Meal portions are now about half of what they were at the church. The mealsite is supposed to have a “friendly, pleasant atmosphere, conducive to social interaction,� but it is not. There is no t sufficient time to have such socializing. We are served, we eat, they pick up the tables, then we are out of there. There is no time for the staff to talk with the seniors or discuss problems they might have, or just get to know each other. Our mealsite staff members, who have worked for the program for over 20 years, have no control over what’s ordered or what’s served. Our site cook didn’t cook any more — she was demoted to kitchen helper, so she quit and found a job elsewhere. The seniors miss her cooking. It’s a very degrading and a very unpleasant situation — one staff member was terminated. She a hard worker, dependable, great with the seniors — and a single mother with two children to
support, but she was cut — What a Thank You! I’m sure the Countryside staff feels the same. Everyone there is unhappy. No one smiles and everyone acts like they’re walking on eggshells. It’s not a pleasant situation for any of us. I think I can speak for many of our senior citizens who will not speak out for fear of retaliation. I applaud the town supervisors in Bolton Landing, Chestertown, Johnsburg and Lake Luzerne for fighting so hard to keep their mealsites in town. Supervisors, please don’t let your mealsite staffs down. They are doing a great service to their community, and saving a little bit of money at the expense of our senior citizens is not worth it. Each site gives that little special attention to our seniors, and they are not treated like a number, which is what’s happening now in Warrensburg. Our staff, after 20 years of service to their community, have no control or input into what happens to their seniors. They are now evaluated merely on how much each employee costs the county. Thank you, Mr. Geraghty, for saving Warren County pennies at the expense of our senior citizens! Seriously concerned, Calista S. Murray Diamond Point

North Country is a great place to learn
A
s another season of school gets under way, the region’s community colleges continue to provide a quality education at a good price. The North Country enjoys Adirondack Community College in Queensbury, North Country Community College in Saranac Lake and Ticonderoga and Clinton Community College in Plattsburgh. These SUNY-operated institutions are gems residing within their surrounding communities. Adirondack Community College, founded in 1961, serves Warren, Washington and northern Saratoga counties and offers more than 30 academic programs. North Country Community College, founded in 1967, serves Franklin and Essex counties. It has received both state and nationwide recognition for its academic programs. Some people refer to Clinton Community College as “Harvard on the Hill,” a nickname that leaves those not in the know wondering what it is all about. Driving up the hill one notices the beauty of its historic buildings, which housed presidents who ran the country from the scenic location that was once a hotel. Students, faculty, administrators and area business leaders say CCC has more than earned its academic reputation. Typical learners fresh out of high school flock to it, and adult learners are quickly embraced into the CCC fold as one of its own, helping them ease back into life as a full-time student, providing them with the tools to exceed and shine and sending her off with a solid academic foundation. Students and their families consistently provide glowing recommendations of the school. Many say the professors worked them hard, but were kind and helpful, and the school provided all the resources they needed to succeed. CCC’s programs are renowned in the state and beyond, as reported in national ranking achievements and studies, such as one from Fletcher

Allen Health Care in Burlington, Vt. that praised registered nurses who graduated from CCC’s nursing program over graduates from other institutions. The nursing programs at CCC, NCCC and SUNY Adirondack should be a significant source of pride for the institutions, and the region should be proud that such skilled, patient-oriented nurses graduate from the schools. It’s not an easy program to get into and it is rigorous to complete, but that, among other aspects, is what distinguishes it. Whether it be educating college students, training or retraining the workforce, or treading in the forefront of today’s technology, the school has consistently impressed. Graduates of any of the school’s programs consistently say they were overwhelmed by how much they learned at the school, humbled by the professionalism and helpfulness of their professors and feel prepared to go on to the next stage of their lives, whether it be the workforce or a transfer to a four-year school, usually Plattsburgh State, another stellar institution this community is fortunate to have. The faculty and staff at CCC, NCCC and ACC excel in their roles. Faculty members don’t hide the fire for the job — it is in their eyes, at the tips of their fingers and it dances off their tongues as they describe their courses and students. Students are fortunate to have knowledgeable professionals who care deeply. Adirondack, Clinton and North Country community colleges are no doubt excited about their incoming classes and eager to delve into a new school year. No matter which of these institutions students choose, they will not be disappointed with the education they receive.

Another one bites the dust
B
ack in June I used this column to question if there will be a daily newspaper in our future. Last week, our neighbors in Syracuse learned the answer to that question the hard way concerning the future of The Post-Standard. Newhouse Newspapers, who announced in June that it would stop printing the daily paper The New Orleans Times-Picayune and its Alabama newspapers in Mobile and Birmingham, said last week it would end the daily distribution of two more of its newspapers, The Post-Standard in Syracuse and The Patriot-News in Harrisburg, Pa. Both papers will begin merging their content with their local news web sites, syracuse.com and pennlive.com, while delivering the printed newspaper only three days a week. Starting in January, The Post-Standard will publish only on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. The news prompted hundreds of comments by readers on both websites, who expressed their concern about life without a local, seven-day-a-week newspaper. One such note said: “We grew up with the paper, and Dad reading us the Funnies every Sunday. Every Christmas, Dad also read us the famous response that Francis Parcellus Church of the NY Sun wrote to little 8-yr. old Virginia Hanlon: ‘YES, VIRGINIA, THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS. He exists as certainly as love and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas, how dreary would be the world if there were No Santa Claus. This news feels like ‘NO SANTA CLAUS’... another tradition gone.” A newspaper is more than words printed on a page. Newspapers were created to serve a purpose, and that purpose was not to be a cash cow. On the contrary, the newspaper is the cheerleader, the whistle blower, the watchdog and the major economic booster for a community and the region it serves. Despite the popular belief that newspapers can’t compete with today’s technology, the simple truth is this move isn’t really about competition or technology. If the primary mission of a newspaper is to inform the community, the method by which the news is distributed shouldn’t leave people in the dark, nor should it be an excuse to cut expenses and jobs. If those five newspapers were locally owned by an active member of the communi-
ty, someone who was a professional newspaper publisher, we would not be seeing this same solution to the perceived probDan Alexander lem in five different Thoughts from Behind the Pressline areas. This action to remake their news delivery method is an attempt by senior management to keep more money for their shareholders, and the community will just have to live with the disappointment of less access. Consider some basic numbers: At a blended rate of 65 cents per edition, and an average of 70,000 copies per day, the Post Standard will lose $45,500 per day in circulation revenue for the four days per week they will stop delivering. That is $182,000 per week and $9.464 million per year, assuming they don’t raise the price, which they most certainly will. That number doesn't even take into account the tens of millions of dollars in advertising revenue they will lose in making this transition. Jobs will certainly be lost, and Central New York and the Capital Region of Pennsylvania will suffer as a result. Under a local family ownership, the needs of these communities would have been better addressed because they would have listened to their readers, community leaders and advertisers. The solution would not have come from a board room, but from the community. One last comment from a wise Post-Standard reader: “Why pay $1 per day for something that you can leisurely read on your patio when you can spend several hundred dollars every couple years chasing the newest technology so that you can become one of the zombies I see everywhere glued to their smartphone, Ipad, etc. instead of making personal connections by actually talking to people? The newest trend I have been observing is seeing parents (mostly moms) taking walks or sitting in the park incessantly texting instead of conversing with their young children. Technology is good but not every aspect of it is. We have raised a generation of college kids who have trouble conversing yet can bang out 10k texts per month or tweet well into the early morning thereby contributing to bad sleep habits that contribute to the obesity epidemic.” Dan Alexander is publisher and CEO of Denton Publications.

•100 Years Ago – Sept. 1912•
Gov. Dix visits the Queen Village The usually quiet little village of Warrensburgh was in a frenzy of excitement Sept. 5, 1912, a day proclaimed as “Governor ’s Day” at the Warren County Fair here. The village was decorated in gala splendor in honor of Gov. John A. Dix’s expected arrival and anticipation hung in the air. The chief of the great Empire State was accompanied by many prominent area state officials among which were State Historian James A. Holden of Glens Falls, Sen. James A. Emerson of Warrensburgh and Assemblyman H.E.H. Brereton of Diamond Point. The governor and his elite party were guests of Henry Griffing, president of the fair association, for a luncheon at noon in the new Fort William Henry Hotel at Lake George and immediately after they came to Warrensburgh in automobiles to attend the fair here where they were received with many honors. The streets, grandstand and fairgrounds had been decorated with flags and bunting in honor of the distinguished visitors. Although the weather was threatening rain in the morning, there were 8,000 people present on the first day of the fair to greet the governor, accompanied by his nephew, Thomas Douglas, who were the first to arrive at 3 p.m. They were met at the entrance to the fairgrounds by Prof. Sherman Holcomb and his Glens Falls Band and escorted to the bandstand. The procession passed along the race track and was heartily cheered by the immense crowd. After they were seated on the platform, a vaudeville act was presented by Madame Elite, queen of the tight wire — and at its conclusion the governor and his companions joined heartily in the applause. Those from Warrensburgh seated with the governor were Senator James A. Emerson, Fred J. Hayes and directors T.J. Smith, Isaac S. Woodward, Lewis Thomson, Charles F. Burhans and Louis Reoux. Henry Griffing, President of the fair, said in his introduction, ”Pardon me if I make what may appear to you to be a personal al-
lusion…38 years ago I became associated with a number of gentlemen in perfecting the organization of this (fair) association and purchase of the property. My interest since in its welfare has never been abated. All have passed the Great Divide save three, Isaac Woodward, Albert Thomas and myself.” When Gov. Dix stood up to make a lengthy speech, he was greeted by a hearty round of applause which lasted for a full five minutes. In his speech, he mentioned that $45 million was annually collected from the people for the maintenance of this great state. The sum of $8,656,000 is used annually for the care of the unfortunate of the state and $8,500,000 is used for industrial purposes. $250,000 is divided among the county and state fairs. In closing Gov. Dix said, “I advise you to make use of every inch of your soil, so that it will be better to hand down to future generations. When you do this, you do your share to make your state permanently better in health and permanently better in wealth.” After a roaring round of applause, the governor shook hands with those who approached him and than he passed to his automobile with his secretary and nephew and returned to Lake George. The fair than went merrily on its way. (Note: Gov. Dix, a Democrat, was born in 1860 to James Lawton and Laura Stevens Dix in Glens Falls. Dix Avenue in that city is named for him. He died in 1928.)
Animals strut their stuff The racing program at the fair included many trotting horses, favorites among which were Charles Baker ’s horses, Frank A. and Lady Helle from Bakers Mills and Belcher Squires’s horse, Aristides Jr., from Lake George. Present also were Don Mack and John O., both owned by George R. Russell of Lake George. L.T. West’s horse, Inola and B.F. Hammond’s horse, William M., both from Warrensburgh. The black stallion pacer, Frank A., owned by Charles Baker, was driven by his son, “Dick” Baker, whose horse was lame, but in the second heat “Dick” sailed in and took three straight, winning the race. The boy is only 19 years old and showed great skill in handling his horse. He has been in town all

Seasonal shift is here Autumn is fast upon us as summer is coming to a close. Many Thurman residents may be in the process of canning their harvests from their gardens. Some may be finishing stacking their firewood for winter. While some may just not want to admit that fall will soon be here, others are planning some summertime fun at the beach, to enjoy themselves while their children are in school. I tend to take action like the ant preparing for winter, rather than the grasshopper idly waiting for the first flake of snow to indicate that the cold weather is here. My family and I visited a farm in Greenwich that has a wide variety of produce that you can pick yourself. We picked four bushels of tomatoes — an amount when canned turned out to be 105 quarts. Whether you are the ant or the grasshopper, we all know that some preparations are necessary to assure we are comfortable in the months to come. To reflect on this summer, it was a lovely one. Not too hot or too cold, but just right as Goldilocks would say. I have heard reports that many species of birds had three broods this year, which is remarkable! All wildlife seemed to do very well this summer, I certainly hope that doesn’t mean we are in for a hard winter — as some of the older folks call a long, cold winter with heavy snow. The temperatures have plummeted into the low 40s this week here in Thurman. Those who still have vegetables in the garden would be wise to cover them overnight to avoid frost damage. Just remember to uncover them before the sun shines on them in the morning.
Over the fence School has started and those who haven’t already donated their children’s gently-used’ clothing are invited to do so. The need is great, and all sizes are being accepted at North Country Ministry outreach center. It is located on Main St. across from the Warrensburg Post Office. The center ’s hours are Monday and Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to noon, and Wednesdays through Fridays 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. To reach North Country Ministry by phone, call 623-2829. Let’s take time to remember the fallen heroes of Sept. 11, 2001. Over 2,750 people were killed in New York, 184 at the Pentagon, and 40 in Pennsylvania, and these victims truly will never will be forgotten. Please remember to observe a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. and 9:03 a.m. in remembrance of those heroes. At 7 p.m. on Tuesday Sept. 11, all are welcome to attend
summer training his father ’s horses on the Warrensburgh track and has made many friends who rejoiced at his victory. The ox race concluded the racing program and was an exciting and amusing event. Competing locally were Silas Bennett and Horton Cooper. Bennett’s oxen were driven by Wilbert Monroe and in the race Cooper ’s yoke struck him, knocking him to the track and trampling on him. When Monroe managed to get to his feet he was minus one trouser leg which was trailing behind and his yoke was awaiting him several hundred feet ahead. He again took up the chase and finished in third place. Cooper ’s yoke, driven by Forest Young, took first place. The Warren County Fair of 1912 was undoubtedly the big winner of all time and will be remembered for many years to come. (Note: Charlie Baker was affectionately known as the “Mayor of Bakers Mills.” Actually, in 1912, he was supervisor of Thurman. He was also a rough, tough constable who was famous for his criminal chases through this area and against all odds, he always got his man. He was described as “one of the squarest and cleanest trotting horse race promoters in the Adirondacks.” — He was indeed a remarkable man.)
Lake George waters claim victim Walter Smith, 25, a chef employed at the Lake View House in Bolton, drowned in Lake George at about 3:30 p.m. Sept. 17, 1912. The incident occurred while Smith was paddling a canoe in Bolton Bay, between the Lake View House and the Algonquin Hotel. Smith’s body was recovered shortly after the accident. During Smith’s time off from his job he often went canoeing. About 20 minutes after he started his break on Sept. 17, his employer, R.J. Brown, saw the canoe floating upside-down some distance from the shore and Smith was nowhere to be seen. Brown and several men from the hotel rowed out to the canoe and saw Smith’s body lying on the bottom of the lake in about nine feet of water. Grappling hooks brought the body to the surface and it was taken to shore where Coroner Rogers issued a verdict of acciden-
the annual September 11 Memorial Ceremony at the Floyd Bennett bandstand. The event — the longest-running and best attended September 11 memorial event in the region — is hosted by the Warrensburg Volunteer Fire Co. A reader called this week and said that credit should be given to those who maintain the Thurman cemetery, adding that it is in beautiful condition — particularly this summer. Those who are house-bound and cannot get to the landfill with their orange bags of trash, call Jim Desourdy at 6234254 and he will take them there for $5 per week. Any organization or business that is planning events for 2013 is asked to notify the John Thurman Historical Society by Oct. 1 to have their event published on the calendar. A donation of $1 per date is requested. These dates also will be included in the 2013 town brochures that will be sent to Warren County Tourism for wide distribution. For details, contact Perky Granger at 623-9305 or ThurmanInfo@aol.com. The Thurman Fall Farm Tour, set for Oct.6 and 7, is hosting artisans and vendors at The Glen Lodge. Contact Aimee Azaert at 494-4984 for an application, or download one from www.PersisGranger.com. The fee for space is $25 for both days. In honor of the 2013 Warren County Bicentennial, the John Thurman Historical Society’s community calendars are to depict the past 200 years in Thurman. The calendars are to be published in November. Those who wish to share old photos of Thurman’s people and places, contact Joan Harris at 623-2007 or Perky Granger at 623-9305. Photos will be scanned and the originals returned to their owners. Printing photos in the calendar is considered a way to honor our ancestors and our past.
Events & activities in the hills The senior bus service to Glens Falls runs on the second and fourth Fridays of every month. The next bus will run Friday, Sept. 14 and is free to seniors age 60 and over. Remember that this service, sponsored by Warren County, takes riders wherever they choose in the Glens Falls area. Laura has also said that she and the other riders have a great time talking to one another on the trip; it’s a great chance to catch up on what’s been going on. Those who wish to go, call Laura by Wednesday, Aug 8 at 623-9281. The Thurman Quilting Group holds their meetings every Monday and this week that will be Sept. 10 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the town hall. All are welcome to bring their craft projects and pay a visit to the very talented members of this group. For more information, contact Myra at 6232633. The Thurman Veterans Appreciation Dinner is set for 5:30 p.m. Tuesday Oct. 2. Gifts in the form of dinner side-dishes to honor these veterans would be greatly appreciated.

tal drowning. Smith was skilled in the use of the craft and it is felt that he fell from the canoe while in a fit as no other explanation of the accident can be offered. His only family is a sister in Amsterdam and a brother in Syracuse.
Prosperous times A bumper corn crop, the largest in the nation’s history, will be harvested this year in 1912. There should be about three billion bushels or about 30 bushels for each man, woman and child in the country. Other grain crops are also large in proportion and there should be some relief from high prices. (Note: In 1912, newspaper editors did not have calculators, and they had to rely on arithmetic they’d studied in school.)
Big sale At J.A. Woodward’s furniture store, located at his funeral parlor in the Aldrich-McGann block in Warrensburgh, is for sale a beautiful golden oak dresser, 18”x36” top with a French bevel plate mirror, each drawer running free with a lock. The dresser is $7.50 and a washstand to match is $4.50 —a good value. (Note: This business establishment was on the north corner of Main St. and Adirondack Avenue.)
Sweet and sour notes R.B. Kenyon’s Warrensburgh-Glens Falls stage is now running on its winter schedule. Earl Herrick underwent an operation in the Glens Falls Hospital for adenoids. Miss Esther Thomas is teaching school at The Glen this year. On Sept. 16, 1912, Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Drake of North Creek celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary. Don Cameron of Athol has had his lot near the Judd Bridge in Warrensburgh surveyed preparatory to the erection of a dwelling house thereon. James G. Herrick, whose variety store on River St. was gutted by fire in early summer 1912, has nearly completed the necessary repairs to his building and is again conducting business at the old stand. (Note: The story of this fire was told in this column in the June 9, 2012 Adirondack Journal. The old store, partially rehabilitated, is currently for sale.) Readers are welcome to contact Adirondack Journal correspondent Jean Hadden at jhadden1@nycap.rr.com or 623-2210.
followed by a 9 a.m. shotgun start. Raffles and a silent auction are to be held throughout the day. The event includes a luncheon provided by the Farmhouse Restaurant, known for its fresh, appetizing good. Time is running out to make reservations for the annual guided tour of Thurman historic homes. Hosted by the John Thurman Historical Society, the tour of five sites is to be held Saturday, Sept. 15. As of last week, only 12 more people could be accommodated. The tour begins with a luncheon for $7 at the Thurman Town hall at 11:45 a.m. The tour leaves at 1:45 and the fee for the tour is $13 which includes a tour book. The sites to be visited include the Griffing Farm on Rte. 418, with special focus on its years as the Russell Boarding house; the adjacent Griffing Cemetery; the Buyce Farm on Buyce Road; the former Chalet Francais on Combs Road, which has had lives as a farmhouse, a guest ranch, a fourstar restaurant, an abbey, and now as a private home. Guests will surely enjoy stories about these properties and their people over decades, and will also hear tales about sites en route to them. To sign up, call Perky at 623-9305 by Friday Sept. 7.
PTSA seeking new members Those who have children in the Warrensburg schools are invited to join the local PTSA. The organization is always seeking new members and now through the end of September, the group is offering the discounted rate of $7 per adult rather than $5. The fee per student is $4. The PTSA supports programs such as PRIDE behavior rewards, Little League, Parents as Reading Partners, local activity nights, WCS Field Days, 6th grade graduation, senior high graduation, Junior Prom lock-in, and Teacher Appreciation Week.

On a personal note Scott and Laurie Crandall’s friends and family congratulate the couple on their recent wedding and honeymoon in Las Vegas. Becky and Jim Desourdy would like to thank the town and Highway Superintendent Pat Wood for giving their son KyleLee the opportunity to obtain employment with the Town of Thurman Highway Department.

North Warren tennis team seeks to continue winning legacy By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — Following an achievement-filled 2011 year, the North Warren Girls’ Varsity Tennis program begins its seventh season this year with a mix of veteran and new players. The void left with the graduation of three talented seniors — Jennifer Paris, Gabrielle Kenney, and Selena Primeau — has been filled with a combination of girls who have never played and those who played at the modified level last spring, Coach Poul Carstensen said. The graduating trio, having played together since eighth grade, led the team to an admirable record in the last several years, Coach Carstensen said. The 2011 girls team competed in the Section II quarterfinals. “I know that my returning girls are ready to take on the new role as leaders for the team, he said. “I am also greatly impressed with our new members.” The returning Cougars are Seniors Abigail Bradley and Brittany Shultz along with Juniors Lexi Pratt, Danielle Primeau, and Sierra Liebelt. “Judging from our practices this week, we are in great shape for the season,” Carstensen continued. Also on the Varsity team with some modified experience are Junior Carol Pereau and freshmen Sierra Andrew and Khadeeja Ferguson, who is also running Varsity Cross Country this fall. New players this year are sophomores Gabby Vaisey and Alex Nuwer. Both caught on to the game quickly, and, according to Carstensen, will be a duo to contend with. “They are a great doubles team and will work together very well,” he said. “I am quite happy with their enthusiasm for the sport.” North Warren’s first match is Sept. 6 at home against Greenwich. Members of the North Warren High School Varsity Tennis Team include (front, left to right): Sierra Liebelt, Danielle Primeau, Alex Nuwer, Coach Poul Carstensen, (rear): Gabby Vaisey, Sierra Andrews, Abigal Bradley and Lexi Pratt.

Johnsburg man arrested for assault By Katherine Clark
katherine@denpubs.com JOHNSBURG — A Johnsburg man has been arrested and jailed twice for allegedly assaulting the same woman repeatedly over a 24-hour period. Gordon Ridenour, 32, was arrested by New York State Police for assault, criminal obstruction of breathing and endangering the welfare of a child for an incident on Aug. 27 at 111 Oven Mountain Road. Ridenour was released by Judge French on his own recognizance after posting bail. Shortly after his release, he allegedly returned to the home around 7 p.m., forced his way in and assaulted the victim again.
According to Lieutenant Steven Stockdale of the Warren County Sherriff ’s office, Ridenour had left the home when he knew law enforcement was on their way. On Aug. 28, Warren County Sheriff ’s Department deputies apprehended Ridenour at the same home sleeping in an upstairs bedroom. The victim and her three children were not home when he came back. Stockdale said Ridenour is “not a stranger to the law enforcement community” and has a history of criminal behavior. Stockdale said it is important for victims of a violent crime to seek help as soon as possible. “Seek whatever assistance you can,
these things only escalate not de-escalate,” Stockdale said. “This man demonstrated he felt the order of protection placed against him was merely a piece of paper, you can’t control other people’s reactions, only your response to it.” Ridenour is currently incarcerated and remanded on $20,000 bond or $10,00 cash bail. He will appear in court Sept. 5 at 7 p.m. to face charges of endangering the welfare of a child, criminal mischief, criminal obstruction of breathing and second degree criminal contempt, all misdemeanors, and second degree burglary, a felony.

Wbg. tears up ground, but fumbles effort against Canajoharie WARRENSBURG — Despite a potent offensive attack that gained 300 yards in the turf, the Warrensburg football team lost to Canajoharie Saturday by an improbably wide margin. Their 42-20 defeat on their home field was due to no less than seven turnovers. Following the tradition of Burgher squads of recent vintage, the team offered fans some exciting action as well as stinging disappointment. WCS running back Malachai Prosser gained a total of 149 yards, and opened up the game with a first-quarter touchdown that was the conclusion of a 53 yard run. In the fourth quarter, he scored a second touchdown on a two-yard sprint. Warrensburg held their own through the
first half, trailing 9-8 after with seconds left in the second quarter. This stanza was concluded by Canajoharie running back Kevin Shannon following up his team’s earlier field goal with a touchdown accomplished via an 18-yard run. Shannon tallied three touchdowns for the day, amassing 192 yards on 27 carries. The decisive momentum in Canajoharie’s favor occurred in the third quarter, when the Cougars overpowered Warrensburg’s defense — racking up 21 points while the Burghers came up empty-handed. Canajoharie also utilized their not-so-secret weapon Jordan Griswold, who had launched his team’s scoring with a 30-yard field goal, and kicked two conversions to advance his team’s margin. Warrensburg defense figured out that Griswold was a scoring threat, however, and blocked his last two attempts at extra points.

Football Greenwich 44, Lake George 6 LAKE GEORGE — Greenwich’s punishing defense and relentless offense dominated Lake George 44-6 Friday Aug. 31 in the football season opener for both teams. Greenwich’s new quarterback Jake Jennings proved himself completing four passes — every one of his attempts — for 111 yards gained and two of the touchdowns, while adding another on the ground. Running back John Barnes, only 15 years old, ran 157 yards in 10 carries, scoring two touchdowns. Lake George’s two turnovers in the second quarter launched Greenwich’s scoring campaign. With Greenwich runners scoring four touchdowns from nearly 30 yards or more, their attack demonstrated how Lake George needs to tighten up on defense. A key factor in the width of the score margin was that Lake George lost two of its top athletes in the first half due to punishing hits: running backs Willy Blunt and Alex Labruzzo. Up next for the Warriors is a game at 7 p.m. Friday Sept. 7 against Canajoharie, which is primed for action after defeating Warrensburg 42-20 Sept. 1.

Leonbruno said he wasn’t discouraged about the team’s prospects, as he was going to conduct drills this week to cure the fumble issue. “With all the mistakes we made, we were still in the game,” he said. “We know we’ve got a good team.” Up next for the Burghers is a matchup Friday night against Rensselaer, another perennially tough team, on their home field. Leonbruno said he was anticipating a new approach of steely resolve from his players. “Were treating this coming game like we’re approaching Week One,” he said. “If we can win this game, we can erase what happened and get our season rolling.”
Another high point for Warrensburg was Warrensburg’s depth in ground-gaining. Connor Scott complemented Prosser ’s gains with 88 yards of his own on 12 carries. Colt Ovitt added 46 yards on 12 carries, and Alex Barber chipped in 13 yards on 7 carries. After the game, Burgher coach Mike Leonbruno, however, declined to praise any particular player, considering the turnovers. But a plague of turnovers isn’t new to the Burghers in their early-season battles — it’s been a malaise that Leonbruno has fought for years. Tuesday, he declared he’d had enough of the lack of ball protection. “Six fumbles in a row cost us the game,” he said.”Our stats looked great, but those turnovers killed us.”
Fall Edition
GRANVILLE — With a balanced scoring attack — one goal each from four players — Bolton opened its season with a 4-1 nonleague win over Granville. In the matchup, Sophomore All-Star player Olivia Seamans and her sister Abbie Seamans both tallied a goal, while Kenzie Tennent and Erin Courchaine each added a goal. Olivia Seamans recorded two assists, and Abbie Seamans and Sarah Calzada each had one. Eagle goaltender Andi Pfau turned back five of the Horde’s six shots on goal. Bolton went into halftime with a 2-0 lead but Granville quickly answered with a quick second-half goal by Abby Narkiewicz. Bolton was able to withstand Granville's pressure and answered with two more goals in the second half. Bolton was lead by a strong defensive effort by Maddy Wilson, Kim Wright, and Sarah Calzada. Granville goalie Amy Baker deflected 15 shots of Bolton’s, and teammate Abby Narkiewicz scored Granville’s goal, assisted by Marissa Brown.

After the game, Burgher coach Mike Leonbruno, however, declined to praise any particular player, considering the turnovers. But a plague of turnovers isn’t new to the Burghers in their early-season battles — it’s been a malaise that Leonbruno has fought for years. Tuesday, he declared he’d had enough of the lack of ball protection. “Six fumbles in a row cost us the game,” he said.”Our stats looked great, but those turnovers killed us.”
Fall Edition
GRANVILLE — With a balanced scoring attack — one goal each from four players — Bolton opened its season with a 4-1 nonleague win over Granville. In the matchup, Sophomore All-Star player Olivia Seamans and her sister Abbie Seamans both tallied a goal, while Kenzie Tennent and Erin Courchaine each added a goal. Olivia Seamans recorded two assists, and Abbie Seamans and Sarah Calzada each had one. Eagle goaltender Andi Pfau turned back five of the Horde’s six shots on goal. Bolton went into halftime with a 2-0 lead but Granville quickly answered with a quick second-half goal by Abby Narkiewicz. Bolton was able to withstand Granville's pressure and answered with two more goals in the second half. Bolton was lead by a strong defensive effort by Maddy Wilson, Kim Wright, and Sarah Calzada. Granville goalie Amy Baker deflected 15 shots of Bolton’s, and teammate Abby Narkiewicz scored Granville’s goal, assisted by Marissa Brown.

County’s grants from page 1 Federal Emergency Management Agency funding because it was primarily due to the historic 2011 Memorial Day Weekend storm that did not meet FEMA’s funding threshold because the damage wasn’t extensive enough statewide. Plans call for Thurman and Bolton to install new box culverts that are engineered to withstand 100-year flood events. Pending grant applications include a request for $400,000 on behalf of the town of Warrensburg, in conjunction with a project now underway, to install water meters in 351 homes throughout the town’s hamlet. The grant would pay toward the water meters as well as pay for pipes making the connection between the water mains and residents’ homes where necessary, LaMothe said. The grant request included the justification that the meters would cut consumption and expenses to homeowners, allow engineers to locate leaks in the water system, and establish a fairer distribution of the lowered costs, LaMothe said. Another high-profile grant request is one to bankroll rehabilitation of the historic Floyd Bennett Memorial Bandstand, which was erected in the 1920s to honor a worldfamous pilot who was born in Warrensburg. This $308,000 grant request includes a sum for Corinth rail station development. Grant requests for Warrensburg include $400,000 in conjunction with constructing a
Warren County Planning Director Wayne LaMothe reviews details to reconstruct stream crossings recently with Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Wood. LaMothe and his associate Pat Tatich have secured $324,500 for flood mitigation work in the towns of Thurman and Bolton to provide upgraded culvert systems underneath roadways that were washed out in the 2011 major flooding incidents.

new health center in Warrensburg operated by Hudson Headwaters Health Network. In late April, a federal grant of $5 million
to toward construction of a new two-story building, about twice the size of HHHN’s existing Warrensburg Health Center.
The county planners’ pending grant requests also include $397,000 for the Pottersville Water District and $434,500 for the North Creek Water District. The funds would be used to construct new water mains and improvements to the distribution system and relocating laterals in conjunction with streetscape improvements in the hamlets. Also pending is an application for $400,000 for housing rehabilitation work to provide plumbing, electrical and roofing work for 21 low-income homes. This is in addition to a $150,000 grant request to assist 10 households with access issues for family members with mobility issues, primarily veterans and elderly citizens. The list of recent grant applications includes $50,000 to help fix up about 12 houses or apartments, home to about 20 low- and moderate-income citizens. In addition to this list of grants totaling $3.02 million, LaMothe and Tatich are currently administering $3.6 million in awarded grants. After LaMothe presented the list of pending grants to the county Planning and Community Development Committee, county Administrator Paul Dusek offered praise for the work of LaMothe and Tatich. “After the planning department downsizing, Wayne and Pat have really stepped up to the plate,” he said. “Wayne has demonstrated leadership, cooperation and willingness to make the restructuring of the department work.”

September 8, 2012 them to the sport. The pinnacle of a proper outdoor career is considered complete, only after a participant has achieved the accomplishment of mentoring at least one novice to the rank of an experienced sportsmen, or women.
Common sense and common courtesy
Outdoor Escapes and Etiquette
A
ccording to a recent national survey, people who regularly recreate outdoors, and those who had participated in outdoor recreation while growing up, are more likely than all others to be completely satisfied with their lives. Research reveals that those who recreate most often, are more likely to be completely satisfied with their choice of careers, friends and their perceived success in life. Unfortunately for a majority of the country’s population, the pleasures of outdoor recreation and wilderness travel are no longer considered to be a normal part of everyday life. Despite this reality, there lies buried deep inside nearly everyone an untapped desire to pursue the pleasures and challenges that outdoor adventure provides. The undisputable reality of enjoying the woods and waters is that the best, and most successful outdoor travelers are the ones who are having the most fun, without infringing on the enjoyment of others. The vast majority of outdoor travelers take to the woods and waters to enjoy the peace, quite and solitude that such places afford. They seek such simple pleasures as a loon’s mournful tune, or the spectacular silence that is only available in a lonely valley, where the ambient noise achieved by a rustling of leaves on the nearby trees. Regrettably, there remain far too many travelers who never learned, or have simply forgotten most of the important concepts and common courtesies inherent to the pursuit of responsible outdoor recreation. As a result, there are bound to be user conflicts, especially when different types of recreationists engage in activities that require them to share limited natural resources. The fun of one group should never be derived at the expense of others. Courtesy, compassion and understanding are key considerations in maintaining good wildwood relations among all user groups. While regular outdoor travelers often understand the nuances of common sense, courtesy, and treating others, as they would wish to be treated, a similar understanding cannot always be expected. There are certain unwritten rules governing the behavior of outdoor travel that every enthusiast should observe. The rules of the trail have been adapted for a wide variety of outdoor pursuits, from ski trails to hiking trails, raging

rivers to placid stillwaters, and from the soaring cliffs to the imposing darkness of unexplored caves. In nearly every case, the proper etiquette is merely to extend the simple politeness to ask about any formal rules of conduct to insure no one is offended. However, when applied to activities such as hunting, whitewater paddling and rock climbing, the strict adherence to established etiquette and camp procedures is often necessary to protect life and limb. Most of the usual rules are just common sense guidelines to deal with issues such as travel behavior, minimum impact camping techniques, fire safety, animal encounters, and cleanliness or sanitation concerns. Although it is expected that most travelers know better than to wash dishes, clothes or bathe in the same waters they use for drinking or cooking; it is not always the case. Similar sanitation concerns regarding the disposal of human waste are often evidenced by the disgusting ‘toilet paper flowers that sprout’ around Adirondack shelters, whether in the mountains or on the lakes. Other glaring examples of such inexcusable, unsanitary behavior are usually to be found near Boat Launches, Canoe Put-Ins, trailheads and Angler Parking Lots. Fortunately, Port-a-Potties have now been placed along the Amusable River due to efforts extended by the Ausable River Association and the Tri-Lakes Chapter of Trout Unlimited. Unfortunately, the Port-a-Potties are only to be found on the West Branch of the Ausable. Most outdoor enthusiasts understand the necessity of protecting our recreational resources and as a result, they are often willing to spend their time restoring, enhancing and conserving natural resources for the benefit of all. One of the most pressing issues in the process of instilling the concept of outdoor etiquette is the availability of experienced mentors. Over 95% of all outdoor travelers surveyed indicate they continue to enjoy the woods and waters because ‘someone’ once took the time to introduce

A few years back, while enjoying a shore lunch along the banks of the Ausable River with an old friend, we watched a group of fellow anglers surround the same small, pool we had been fishing earlier in the morning. The pool had been quite productive and we took several nice fish, before moving on. But as the scene unfolded, it became apparent the new group was intent on sticking around for a while. My old friend, the late Fran Betters, would have described the group as a “New Jersey Firing Squad,” as they surrounded the pool shoulder to shoulder, and began flinging lines all in the same direction. They kept at it unabated, and while a few fish were actually taken in the opening minutes of the angling assault; they were soon off feed. “Look at that,” my buddy commented, “You know the problem with fishermen today?” He didn’t wait for my answer, before declaring, “Nobody smokes anymore!” I looked at him incredulously, and asked, “What the hell does smoking have to do with trout fishing.” “Well, in my day,” he replied, “We’d fish a pool like that for a while, maybe catch a few fish, and then we’d take a break to have a cigarette, or smoke a pipe.” He continued, “It gave us a chance to regroup and recoup, but it also rested the pool and allowed the fish to calm down.” “If other anglers came along, they would have had the courtesy and respect to understand that we were just ‘resting the pool,’ and he’d likely move on. “Nowadays, it seems that fishing has become an endurance race, rather than the relaxing pursuit it once was.” Pointing to the pool, he declared, “Those guys should slow down the pace, and move on. Those fish are now too spooked to bother with.” I learned a valuable lesson, to take the time to relax, and don’t spook the trout. But most of all, his story served as a reminder of why we go outdoors in the first place. We do it in order to escape, to lose ourselves in the moment and to find a bit of our past, in the process. Despite the proliferation of multi-million dollar, bass fishing tournaments, and the growing popularity of catch and release flyfishing contests, such as our own Ausable Two Fly competition; true angling competition should always remain a contest between an angler and his quarry, rather than angler versus angler. Fish catch the angler, as much as we catch them, and as I’ve often said, “It’s not the size of a fish that matters, rather it’s the length of its tale.” Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

Chester sale from page 1 president Don Butler said Sept. 4. He said that if an area resident would like to have a sale at home, the Alliance will provide a hot pink sign, and if they prefer to set up tables of wares along Main Street in Chestertown, the group will be providing sanctioned spaces in three or four locations. There is no charge for the spaces, and the Alliance will be conducting promotion of the collaborative sale. Chestertown event coordinator Debra Eves said Tuesday that local vendors, and crafters — as well as individuals — are invited to participate. “We know how big the Warrensburg sale is each year, and we want to draw some of the people through Chestertown,” she said. Local residents will have their off-site yard sales located primarily at Tri-Lakes

Members of the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance discuss methods of boosting commerce in the Chestertown area. Alliance founder Don Butler (center) is spearheading a community garage sale event in Chestertown to coincide with Warrensburg’s Worlds Largest Garage Sale, set for Sept. 29 and 30. Photo by Thom Randall
Storage on Rte. 9 next to McCluskey’s Hardware. Sale booths will also be located downtown. Community groups and vendors will be setting up tables in front of Glens Falls National Bank, and primarily food booths will be situated in front of Panther Mountain
Inn at the hamlet’s major intersection. Plans call for an Oktoberfest tent featuring German food to be located at the Inn. Eves said the Alliance will be advertising for people coming from the north on I87 towards the World’s Largest sale to take Exit 25
and drive south through Chestertown to get to Warrensburg. Butler noted that the Alliance has already made considerable progress in boosting traffic in town, by launching and sponsoring the busy Chestertown Farmers’ Market which has not only brought several hundred more people into town weekly on Wednesdays, but even caused traffic jams at times. The Alliance has also held a successful “cruise night” featuring classic vehicles and live music, as well as popular fundraiser events. “We’re having a busy year,” Butler said. “Successful events have brought many people into the region and support for new businesses continues to draw visitors and residents downtown.” The Alliance will be providing advertising in local papers, likely featuring the sales of those who sign up. For details, call Debra Eves at 494-5762.

swim, yet he had been in the water beyond the low-water barrier. Blais said the beach was fully staffed with eight or so trained lifeguards. “All the eyewitnesses and rescue squad members said the lifeguards acted in an efficient and timely manner,” he said. Authorities said Podapoti’s heart began beating again in the ambulance on the trip to Glens Falls Hospital, where he was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit. After the incident, swimmers were directed to get out of the water, and the beach was closed for the remainder of the day. Monday afternoon, there were six lifeguards stationed along the beach, with their eyes fixated on the water while people of all ages swam, sunbathed and played. Tuesday, Sept. 4, the state Health Department representatives were at the beach conducting an investigation of the incident. Blais said they were interviewing lifeguards on duty Sunday to hear first-hand what happened. “Yesterday, I met with the guards and told them how proud we are of them,” Blais said. “This morning I received emails from people on the beach Sunday commending the lifeguards for their quick and professional reactions.” Labor Day was the last day of 2012 that the beach is officially open.
