thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE —The Lake George Jazz Weekend will celebrate its 29th year on Sept. 15 and 16 with a solid lineup of acclaimed musicians presenting various genres of jazz. The free festival is to be held in the Shepard Park amphitheater, offering views of the lake in the background. Saturday’s performances begin at 1 p.m. with Emilio Solla and Bien Sur. Solla is a pianist, originally from Argentina, who is considered a leading advocate of the “tango jazz” idiom. Following Solla at 2:30 p.m. will be vocalist Sachal Vasandani, an acclaimed and charismatic male American jazz singer. The afternoon’s lineup closes out at 4:15 p.m.with Warren Wolf, a multi-instrumentalist who plays primarily vibraphone and has a reputation of being on the “cutting edge” of jazz.

At the Adirondack Nationals Car Show in Lake George on Saturday, Denis Corbile of Montreal (center, left) answers questions from Fred Guilefuss of Stillwater and his sons Fred and Erik about Corbile’s street rod, built out of a 1934 Ford Coupe. The body is a classic — restored from the original automobile —but the engine is a new 406-cubic inch monster that turns out 630 horsepower. Corbile said he has more than $120,000 invested.

Crowd enjoys Lake George car show By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Spinning tires of a 1970s muscle-car emitted a cloud of grey smoke and an ear-splitting shriek Saturday at about noon on Canada Street.

This “burnout” in heavy traffic during the Adirondack Nationals Car Show prompted loud cheers from people packed on the sidewalks of Lake George. The four-day event that brought an estimated 70,000 people to the village included cruise-ins with spectators shoulder-to-shoulder beside the streets.

They were treated to flashy chrome, thundering exhaust and sultry shapes of 1,500-plus custom and vintage vehicles, hot rods and muscle cars. About 30 yards away from the Saturday noon burnout, Denis Corbile of Montreal answered questions from gawkers about his street rod, built out

Work on ‘twin bridges’ backs Northway traffic up for miles By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com CLIFTON PARK — North Country residents and visitors traveling to and from the Capital Region have been experiencing long traffic backups on the I-87 Northway because of the first phase of a bridge repair project that is expected to continue during weekends through October. The “twin bridges” carrying the Northway over the Mohawk River between Cohoes and Clifton Park are now undergoing a $29 million deck replacement project, and through October only one lane will be open in each direction from Friday night through early Monday morning. On the first weekend of the project, however, construction problems extended the lane closures into the weekday rushhour, causing massive traffic backups that extended for miles. State Department of Transportation spokeswoman Carol Breen told media outlets this week that the extended lane closures on Monday, Sept. 10 were due to problems in affixing steel panels supporting the bridge deck. She added that such closures are not likely to reoccur on weekdays, when rush-hour traffic, during morning and late afternoon, already slows down to a crawl. The backups occur routinely on weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. on southbound traffic over the bridges and from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

PROPANE

About 115,000 commuters, long distance travelers and trucks use the bridges each day. for northbound traffic. Initial work began after Labor Day weekend to replace the decks on the spans, formally known as the Thaddeus Kosciusko bridges over the Mohawk River. About 115,000 commuters, long distance travelers and trucks use the bridges each day. State transportation officials say that the money spent now boosts the bridges’ lifespan and will save taxpayers money in the long term. Deck replacement on the northbound span began Friday, Sept. 7 with one lane handling traffic for each direction on the southbound span. Work will continue over six weekends excluding Columbus Day weekend. The lane closures begin at 10 p.m. Friday and continue until 5 a.m. the following Monday. The southbound lane is to be reconstructed next spring, with one-lane traffic each direction carried by the northbound span. Weekend traffic delays have been significant — from 15 minutes to an hour — with travelers being re-routed between Exit 7 and Exists 8 or 9 on state Rte. 9; real-time im-

In 1916, Glens Falls entrepreneurs Eugene Ashley and Elmer West launched an effort to dam the Schroon River to form a reservoir and produce electric power. The project would have put massive portions of the towns of Warrensburg, Chester and Horicon underwater. The proposal to build the Tumblehead Dam on the Schroon River, however, was defeated — preserving thousands of acres of recreational and scenic landscape for present and future generations. A free presentation by Mike Prescott detailing the history of this proposal, titled “Hello Mountain & the Dam that Wasn't Built,” is set for 7 p.m. Wednesday Sept. 19 in the auditorium of the Chester Municipal Center, 6307 Rte. 9. Light refreshments will be available. The presentation, sponsored by the Warren County Historical Society, details how the dam and would have created the Great Schroon Lake which would have encompassed Brant, Schroon and Paradox lakes, with a shoreline in the middle of present day Chestertown. The reservoir would have flooded 39 miles of highways, and be 29.5 square miles in area, containing about 16 billion cubic feet of water according to a new York Times article of the era, describing the concept. Key in the defeat of the proposal was George Welwood Murray, representing the Schroon Lake Association. He advanced a strong protest against reservoir, noting that the entire Schroon Valley would be ruined as a vacation

offers any of Warrensburg. The last time new postcards depicting Warrensburg were printed was probably as far back as the 1960s. However, Greg Klingler, who serves as Warrensburg Town Assessor, is on a mission to do something about the disparity, he said this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a long time, I looked around, but I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find any new postcards with Warrensburg scenes,â&#x20AC;? Klingler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But our town has a lot of really nice, scenic places.â&#x20AC;? Klingler is publishing a series of postcards bearing his scenic photos. Friday Sept. 7, he took time on his lunch break to review photographs heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already chosen for his cards and others he

might have printed. Klingler, an accomplished amateur photographer, has for decades enjoyed photographing trains, old churches, historic buildings and scenery including waterways and fall foliage. Such subjects are well suited for local postcards, he said. Already, his compelling photographs of locomotives running up to North Creek have been published as postcards for the Saratoga & North Creek Railway. He also had a train photograph of his printed on the cover page of a 2010 issue of Amtrak Magazine. So far, the Warrensburg postcards Klingler â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s created include one featuring a photo of the Floyd Bennett Memorial Bandstand festooned

Klingler, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already decorated the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website with his scenic photos, said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy to promote Warrensburg and help many other people recognize that a lot of beautiful local scenes exist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hidden treasuresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; here in Warrensburg,â&#x20AC;? he said.

North Warren residents cite concerns about DOT paving thom@denpubs.com C H E S T E RTO W N — T h e state Department of Transportation’s recent multi-million dollar paving project that included laying down new asphalt on state Rte. 9 has irked some area residents, according to reports aired among Tri-Lakes Business Alliance members. Although the new pavement is smooth and attractive according to Alliance members, the project shouldn’t have been undertaken in July and August, as it disrupted local commerce substantially, Alliance members said at the group’s recent meeting. A letter has been sent to DOT noting such concerns. Also, the new layer of asphalt has raised the pavement high up on the curb, raising a problem for bicyclists, because the storm drains are recessed by several inches. The drain grates are an inch or more below the pave-

Suggestions were aired among Alliance members to establish a municipal parking lot to service the new businesses in the north end of Chestertown, as well as help with off-street parking during snow storms. It was announced that Alliance members are developing brochures promoting Chestertown and Horicon, and they will be distributed in the Malta region to capitalize on the multi-billiondollar Global Foundries plant. The brochures will promote the North Warren communities as an ideal place to live and play to the thousands of employees of Global Foundries and related businesses now relocating to the Malta area. Plans are moving forward for Chestertown’s Main Street Garage Sale to be held Sept. 29 and 30 — coinciding with Warrensburg’s World’s Largest Garage Sale week-

ment surface, and bicycle wheels can drop down — perhaps causing a crash — or the cyclists might be struck by a passing vehicle when the bikers swerve to avoid the recessed grates, Curt Austin said Sept. 11. Austin, a member of the Warren County Bicycling Citizens Advisory Committee, also said that some storm drains in town, including several on Riverside drive, have grates with slots in the wrong direction, so wheels can drop far into the grates, and cause a crash. He said these roadway issues should be addressed soon, considering the new state and federal emphasis on promoting cycling for its health and environmental benefits. Another issue aired by Alliance members at their recent meeting was their support for the completion of environmental remediation on the former Ford dealership property on Pine Street in Chestertown, and returning the property to appropriate municipal use.

end. Vendors will be setting up in the two parking lots of Glens Falls National Bank. Signs will be available through the Alliance to put up on lawns of home-based sales, and the Alliance will be erecting signs on the roads coming into North Warren communities. This event will be free to anyone who would like to participate. The Alliance has urged homeowners who are thinking of having a garage sale to do it on this weekend, as well as school classes and scout troops who could set up food booths and other concessions. For details, contact Debra Eves at 4945762. The ever-popular Pug Parade is to be held Sunday, Oct. 14 at Dynamite Hill. In past years, 150 to 200 people have attended this event,

and the Alliance is now working to devise ways to bring some of these people into town to shop and eat. Alliance members have suggested launching an Oktoberfest and chili cook-off. The local Chamber of Commerce will be passing out flyers to all Pugh Parade registrants with a list of restau-

Difficult times, difficult decisions

s local school boards are constantly searching for areas to make financial cuts with the minimalist effect on student curriculum, more schools should consider consolidation. Two questions that must be asked when considering consolidation are: Will there be noticeable financial savings and can the districts maintain a quality education? Consolidation, though not always an ideal aspect for some, is a logical consideration during tough economic times. The budget season was difficult for districts last year and districts will definitely be facing a similar plight this year. Pooling resources doesn’t always require cutting positions to make budget goals. Consolidating space, equipment and practice space for student athletes and musicians would be utilizing what schools already have while reaping the benefits of cost savings, and keeping the curriculum intact. Consolidation is never an easy decision. Schools are the center of our local communities, and taking that away is always controversial. But dwindling class sizes and burgeoning property taxes demand that school officials consider these difficult options. Take Putnam Central School for example, which had 35 children enrolled in its school at the end of the 2011-2012 school year. Would it make better financial sense to divide these students between Whitehall and Ticonderoga? Or does a school like Putnam offer a more individualized education? Keeping student needs in the forefront is the first priority when talking about consolidation or making cuts in any district. Consolidating an entire school district could also have major consequences for the small community of Putnam. The parents and students could feel detached, and it would likely create longer commutes to school and extra-curricular activities, with children feeling less attached to their hometown. Decisions to consolidate districts are best made on an individual, case-by-case basis —what’s best for Plattsburgh City

6 - Adirondack Journal - Opinion

Schools will not always be best for Minerva-Newcomb Central School. Some districts in the area have growing enrollments and their resources, administration team and facilities are being used to capacity, while other schools might benefit from each other’s strengths. Consolidation of administrative offices might be more seamless. School superintendent positions could be merged through attrition as officials retire or resign. Another area that should be considered is the consolidation of sports teams. Some local schools have such low student numbers that they cannot field a team in every available sport. When they can, they often are not competitive, or young athletes might not be afforded the rest they need during a game because of a lack of substitutes. This season alone, Crown Point Central School’s girls soccer team, with just 11 players, was nearly unable to begin the season. The team was able to make it but it was right down to the last minute. The girls in Schroon Lake were in a similar situation. Consolidating sports teams would save districts money on equipment and coaching staff, while utilizing a shared field would create savings and bring strong athletes together to work hard and encourage competitiveness and endurance. Shared services could offer an alternative to cutting programs in a school, while keeping staff on the payrolls and saving taxpayer dollars. Difficult times demand difficult decisions. As school officials enter another demanding budget season, they must take a long look at merging as many resources as possible. Nothing should be left off the table — not even studying the financial benefits of merging with a nearby district. This editorial is the collaborative opinion of a board comprised of Thom Randall, Fred Herbst, Shaun Kittle, Keith Lobdell, Stephen Bartlett, Andy Flynn, and John Gereau.

Just the facts ... please N

ow that we’ve put the two national political party’s conventions behind us, we can focus on the next big events — the upcoming debates. I hope you did as I did and watched the conventions on C-SPAN, where the action can be viewed live, without commercial interruption or biased commentary. C-SPAN allows viewers to draw their own conclusions by allowing them to hear and watch what they want. Modern-day conventions are designed to be marketing events instead of a wide-open process. Recognizing that each side plays heavily to their member base, I doubt either side did much to sway a previously committed voter. I also doubt many uncommitted voters will make a decision until closer to Election Day. For those who’ve made up their minds, I’m sure the rest of this campaign season will reinforce why their vote will be cast for their candidate. The spin plays to their heart, not their reason. More than anything, we owe it to ourselves, the nation and future generations to do more than accept the campaign rhetoric, and that especially goes for those who are firmly committed. Vice President Joe Biden recently challenged the press to “fact check” his statements. That’s excellent advice for all of us. A good website is factcheck.org, a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania. The site offers a quiz of the week, specific articles on the many speeches, Whoppers of 2012, a Mailbag feature that allows an opportunity for the public to present their points of contention with the candidates, the parties and even question the clarifications made by Fact Check. Another important feature is called Viral Spiral, which is designed to put an end to the many inaccurate, and sometimes very old, internet emails that never seem to die in cyberspace. If you have an email account, you undoubtedly know someone who regularly sends you one of these pieces. They all sound believable, but all too often the information is non-factual and attributed to reliable sources who didn’t produce the information. Another useful site that should be consulted is opensecrets.org, sponsored by The Center for Responsive Politics. Opensecrets.org claims to be a nonpartisan guide to money's influence on U.S. elections and public policy. They encourage journalists, activists, students and any other interested citizens to use the free site to shine light on the government and

those who wish to use it for their benefit. The Center relies on financial support from a combination Dan Alexander of foundation grants, Thoughts from individual contribuBehind the Pressline tions and income earned from custom research and licensing data for commercial use. The Center accepts no contributions from businesses, labor unions or trade associations. Yet another useful site is publicintegrity.org, sponsored by the Center for Public Integrity, which was founded in 1989 by Charles Lewis and claims to be one of the nation’s oldest and largest nonpartisan, nonprofit news organizations. Its mission is to enhance democracy by revealing abuses of power, corruption and betrayal of trust by powerful public and private institutions. Inaccurate and outright twisting of the truth is at the root of so many decisions people are making today. The media, Internet and social media are full of inaccurate information. It’s no wonder the political machines have become so skilled at spin. If we continue to accept what we’re told without qualifying the information, we’re the ones at fault for the direction this country takes. We’ve been told by both parties and each candidate how important this election is to our future. Both sides believe there have never been such diverse differences between the two sides and it’s up to us to ultimately decide. I urge each of us to do our homework before casting a vote. Given the current state of the country we need to hold these candidates and their parties accountable for their statements and actions. Despite what your heart and personal convictions tell you to believe, we owe it to future generations, if not ourselves, to know where the truth stops and the spin begins. Many of you may take the position that since both sides employ these tactics, what difference does it really make? Well, my comeback is simple: Until we know the real truth we will never be able to put this country on the right path. If we can’t depend on our elected officials we have no choice but to take matters into our own hands and demand they change their ways. If we don’t do that, we deserve exactly what we’re getting.

•100 Years Ago – Sept. 1912•

Violin out of the closet John K. Witzemann, the Philadelphia violinist who gave a concert in Glens Falls on Sept. 12, 1912, played on a genuine Amati violin valued at $2,000 which has a romantic history. The instrument was made in Cremona, Italy and is believed to be 208 years old. The violin was secured by Witzemann last year in 1911 while he was spending his summer vacation in Schroon Lake. It was owned by Fred E. Pitkin, a store clerk who had it for about 10 years and who sold it to Witzemann for a moderate figure. An expert in Philadelphia later assessed it at $2,000. The instrument was owned by various people in the vicinity of Schroon Lake for about 25 years and at one time it was sold for $15. In its travels, the violin met with many vicissitudes and considerable repairing was necessary before its original beauty and tone were restored. Amati violins are highly valued and genuine specimens are very rare and valuable. (Note: Andrea Amati, violin maker extraordinaire and teacher of the greats, plied his trade with his two sons, Antonio and Hieronymus in a shop in Cremona Italy. Hieronymus died in 1630 of the black plague as did several other members of his family and it was his fifth son, Nicolo Amati, born in 1596, who became the world famous violin maker in the family, producing amazing instruments and training several other violin makers well-known in history. When business reached an all time high, Nicolo took on apprentices in his shop. The origins of Antonius Stradivarius were found in the Amati shop and Nicolo is often held to be his teacher. If that Schroon Lake violin were to be sold today, the price would be in the millions. It would be interesting to know if at the age of 308 years it exists today — and can still produce delightful haunting music from another era that has never since been surpassed in power and richness.)

Gone to meet his maker Benjamin Harrington of West Stony Creek, a centenarian known locally as “Uncle Ben,”

died Sept. 2, 1912 at his home, aged 101 years. He and his wife, who survives him, celebrated the 101st anniversary of their birth March 28, 1912 as both were born on that same day in 1811. Ben Harrington was apparently in his usual good health the day before his end. Death came to him like the sleep of a little child. He sank into a stupor and never rallied. He had never been sick in bed in his life. Ben was born in the hills of Stony Creek and spent his entire life on the farm he occupied at the time of his death. He never rode on a railroad train but once when he and his wife, “Aunt Harriet” went to Albany to see Governor Hill inaugurated. He never used liquor or tobacco in any form. They lost one son, Benjamin Jr., in the Civil War at the battle of Bull Run and their other son lived on the farm with them as their caretaker. “My only regret is,” said Mrs. Harrington, “we could not die at the same time. We have been very happy together and have lived a long life.” (Note: More stories about the lives of this remarkable couple were told in this column in the March 17, 2012 Adirondack Journal. David Bennett Hill became New York’s 29th governor at Albany in the year 1885 when Ben Harrington was 74 years old.)

Police officer fired after joy ride The entire police force of the village of Lake George has been suspended by village president Sisson for an indefinite period. The force, it is alleged, got drunk and was caught at it. Officer Putnam, who is it, while in full uniform on Saturday night, went with an automobile party on a joy ride to a road house near Saratoga and returned late in the night in a state alleged to have been unduly hilarious. There was so much talk around town that it all came to the ears of Mr. Sisson who promptly suspended the erring one from the force. (Note: Here it is 100 years later and this poor man, Officer Putnam, dead and long gone, hasn’t yet lived down his wild night out on the town!)

Autumn leaves are falling It was just 50 years ago, in October 1862, that Henry David Thoreau wrote “Autumn Tints,” which was published in the Atlantic

Monthly magazine. He said, “Europeans coming to America are surprised by the brilliancy of our autumnal foliage.” The “Autumnal Equinox” will soon be upon us. The leaves of the Swamp Maple are the first to generally change color in the fall season. There are 13 maple species native to the U.S. and they will soon delight us with their magnificent fall color. “Yet still the wilding flowers would blow, the golden leaves would fall, the seasons come, the seasons go and God be good to all.” — John Greenleaf Whittier.

News from far and near The 72nd New York State Fair will open Monday Sept. 9, 1912 in its new million dollar home in Syracuse. The new cattle building is already in use as is the new railroad terminal. Many area people will attend the fair. Senator James A. Emerson, R.T. Woodward and B.F. Hammond left on Sept. 11, 1912 to attend the State Fair. State Historian James A. Holden of Glens Falls, will speak Sept. 18, 1912 on “The influence of the Murder of Jane McCrea on the Burgoyne Campaign.” Frank J. Wilder of Saratoga Springs will speak on “A Century and a Half of Saratoga History.” at the Worden Hotel in Saratoga Springs during the 14th annual meeting of the state Historical Association beginning Sept. 17, 1912 which will last for four days.

Fires damage properties The Ferry Hotel of Luzerne, owned by the Barrett estate of Saratoga and occupied by John Brown as a bottling establishment, was destroyed by fire at noon, Sept. 4, 1912. It was one of the oldest landmarks in the place and was located across the Hudson from Corinth on the Luzerne side. The damage amounts to $4,000. In other news, the store and residence property owned by Walter Hubbell and occupied by Nat M. Dixon at Batesville, Lake George, was badly damaged Aug. 29, 1912 by a fire which originated from an over-heated chimney in an upper room. The volunteer fire department was summoned from the village and they managed to confine the fire to the rear of the building. The loss is several

hundred dollars.

Sweet and sour notes Plums are plentiful this year in Johnsburgh and sell for $2 a bushel. The stone wall has been removed from the upper cemetery there to make way for the new fence. George Green has a sprained ankle. The Schroon River Pulp and Paper Co. at Burnhamville, Warrensburgh, shut down to enable their employees to attend the fair. At Bakers Mills, James Bruno and Nora Dunkley were married Aug. 21, 1912 by Rev. Watson Perry. E.J. Hitchcock is doing a nice business there in his new store. Carey Hitchcock is laying the foundation for a new house with John Hitchcock superintending the work. Mrs. Martha Ross, 84, widow of Sylvester Ross, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Lorenzo Hemenway in Horicon on Saturday morning, Sept. 14, 1912. Her husband, a lumberman, died about 15 years ago and had been a lifelong resident of Horicon and Bolton. Known as “Aunt Martha,” Mrs. Ross gave her heart to the Lord as a young girl and was well known for her sterling worth. Joseph Lavin, of Warrensburgh, buys all kinds of junk for cash at his barn on lower Main St. He pays $6 a ton for old iron and one cent a pound for rags. He also buys hides.

Letters to the Editor Tall hotel would hurt lake, village character To the Adirondack Journal: There have been many articles regarding building an eight-story hotel in the Village of Lake George. I am adamantly opposed to such a project — and I will highlight the most critical reasons. The sewer system in Lake George is not sufficient to deal with a building of this size. It is now near capacity and the water treatment plant fails to treat nitrates properly. Secondly, the village has a master plan which does not include eight-story hotels. If this proposal is allowed to go through, it will definitely affect that quaint village atmosphere. Although some of the signs and shops need to be improved, an eight-story hotel is an atrocity in a small village atmosphere. Lastly, the code for allowable height under the regulations set by the Adirondack Park Agency and the village government is 40 feet. The hotel’s developer, Mr. Kenny, is requesting to have an 86-foot tall building, more than twice the height specified in the village code. What about the environmental impact on the lake? In a recent article in The Chronicle, a comparison was made with the Fort William Henry Hotel. Although the Fort was given a 28 -foot variance, almost 19 feet of that variance is strictly the roof. However, the design of the hotel was to replicate the old hotel that was built in 1909. Additionally, the Fort is built on 18 acres with more than 50 percent of the property

Correction: Due to an editor ’s error, the identity of a returning player on the North Warren Field Hockey team was inaccurately listed. Krista Millington is one of the two returning players who was on the “miracle squad” of hockey players that started out the 2010 season ranked last, but fought their way into a Section II co-championship, earning a permanent place in the hearts of North Warren citizens. We apologize for the error.

L.G. book club launches season LAKE GEORGE— The Book Discussion Group of Caldwell-Lake George Library began its 2012-13 season at 7 p.m. Monday Sept. 10 at the library, and area residents are still welcome to join. The group meets on the second Monday of each month from September to June. Books are chosen by members, who take turns leading the discussion.

being green space. The Kenny proposal is too much hotel for the property. It is everyone’s responsibility to protect the lake and our environment, including the town and village governments. The zoning board needs to follow the master plan and stay within the code of 40 feet. My hope is the zoning board will make the right decision for the community and the lake. Karen Horn Azer Lake George

Say ‘No’ to eight-story hotel To the Adirondack Journal: In regards to the new hotel which is before the Village of Lake George Zoning Board of Appeals, it’s my opinion that an eight-story hotel in the middle of town would destroy the character of the Village. You would have to change the name of the Village of Lake George to the “City of Lake George.” I’m sure there must be a law that states a “Village” cannot be called a “Village” when there is a towering building, more than two times the height that is allowed by code, to be built in the center of town. A building of that size would ruin the skyline of the village. You would not be able to see the majestic mountains that surround the area.

Steakhouse to open in Chester CHESTERTOWN — Main Street is likely to see more activity soon as the The Bullhouse restaurant opens for business. Lonnie Shenefield, who owns the enterprise along with her mother Shea Shenefield, said they plan for their Texas-style steakhouse to be open as soon as early October. The eatery is located at 6369 Rte. 9 in the historic Main Street building that once housed a general store, and most recently, an ice cream parlor. The building, owned by Greg and Sharon Taylor, is now undergoing extensive renovations. Lonnie Shenefield said she and Shae plan

I also have concerns regarding the extra traffic that would develop in the area — particularly, how it would affect the traffic for the high school. I’m also not comfortable having a year-round hotel adjacent to the high school. To me, having that hotel that close to the school is a safety concern. Another issue is the Caldwell Sewer District. My sewer is hooked up to that system. The mayor stated that if the hotel was to be built, the town might not be able to use that system anymore. Town residents saw how much our taxes increased last year due to the Caldwell Sewer District tax. Now, we might be forced to build our own sewer treatment plant? To benefit one person or company at the expense of many does not seem fair. We as residents expect our building codes to be upheld. This is not a small variance —this is changing the character of the Village and basically rewriting the whole building code and master plan. Please remember that this is a community of people, not just a business district. We want business to do well, but not at the expense of the community. Too much emphasis is put on tourists in this town. That needs to be changed, but that’s a whole other debate. There is nothing wrong with the Village Zoning Board just saying “No” to this variance. They have a code that supports that ruling. That’s all the public is asking for. Otherwise, “Welcome to the City of Lake George.” Todd Fellegy Lake George

The operation is to feature alcoholic beverages as soon as a liquor license is approved, Lonnie said, noting she plans on offering an extensive wine list. Recorded blues music is to enhance the atmosphere, and live entertainment may be offered occasionally in the months to come, she said. “We want The Bullhouse to have a welcoming feeling,” she said.

Lake George boat regulations mulled Effort aimed at preventing invasive species By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Boating on Lake George could be more complicated and more expensive next summer. The Lake George Park Commission is considering regulations to fight the spread of invasive species in the lake — regulations that could include mandatory decontamination of boats prior to launching, designated hours at public launches and new fees. “There are still a lot of questions to be answered,” David Wick, executive director of the LGPC, said during a meeting of the group’s Aquatic Invasive Species Committee in Ticonderoga Sept. 7. “No decisions have been made. We’re meeting with people and exploring options.”

Invasive species are reaching the lake, Wick said, from boats that have been in other bodies of water and carry the unwanted hitchhikers. The committee is meeting every two weeks in communities around the lake as it prepares to make recommendations on how to best deal with the problem of invasive species. Wick expects the LGPC to decide on possible regulations this fall and implement them in 2013. “We want to make it (lake access) as easy as possible, especially for those who regularly use Lake George,” said Dean Cook of Ticonderoga, a LGPC commissioner. “The idea is to protect the lake from invasive species coming from other lakes. This is serious business.” Wick said the LGPC has four options: — It can do nothing. — It can ask boaters to participate in voluntary inspections.

Chestertown car show to feature soul music star CHESTERTOWN — A car show is to be held in Chestertown Friday Sept. 14 in front of the Panther Mountain Inn, and the evening includes a performance by acclaimed soul and gospel star Milayne Jackson and her trio. There’s no charge for participation in the car show. Classic and vintage automobiles are welcome as are sports cars, trucks, hot rods and other vehicles, organizer Don Butler said. The event begins at 6 p.m. with a gathering of automobile enthusiasts — with 50s and 1960s music provided — followed by a short cruise through Chestertown at dusk. Live soul, rock music will follow the cruise, featuring the A visitor to a recent Car Show in Chestertown sponsored by the Panther Inn checks out Holly Palmer’s 1962 Chevy Impala Super Milayne Jackson Trio. Also, a Sport 409. A follow-up car show in Chestertown, expected to host 50-50 raffle will be held to benefit the Tri-Lakes Business Aleven more vintage vehicles, is set for Friday, Sept. 14.

— It can require mandatory inspection and decontamination of boats. — It can rely on self-certification by boaters themselves. Mandatory inspection and decontamination of boats is the best defense against invasive species, Wick said, but it would be a major change and expense. There are 103 boat access points, most private, on Lake George, Wick said. Those launches would have to regulated. Public launches would include decontamination units to clean boats. Those launches would only be open certain hours. The LGPC would also need to purchase the decontamination equipment and hire employees to man each launch. A single permanent decontamination unit can cost $250,000, Wick said. The decontamination process takes 35-40 minutes, Wick said. “It’s an involved process,” he said. “If it’s just he hull it’s not a big deal. But you need to get into all the nooks and crannies of the engine and boat to do a complete job.” Dave Iuliano, a Ticonderoga town board member, asked if decontamination would be practical on a busy weekend or during a fishing tournament when as many as 100 boats are waiting to get into the lake. Cook said in the case of fishing tournaments boats could be decontaminated the night before. No one offered any idea how boat launch traffic would flow during other periods. Wick said the LGPC will ask the state to pay for an invasive species program, but acknowledged the cost of the decontaminated program would likely be borne by boaters, who would pay a fee when launching. “There is no program in place; we’re still considering options,” Wick stressed to the two dozen people at the Ticonderoga meeting. “No one wants to diminish the recreational capacity of Lake George. We’re asking for feedback on these options.” Wick said the committee had held three meetings on the invasive species problem. The majority of people attending those meet-

ings support the mandatory inspection and decontamination option, he said. Iuliano expressed concern the possible regulations could discourage tourism and hurt the local economy. “I understand the importance of protecting Lake George,” he said, “but we’ve built our communities around tourism. This will have a major impact.” Wick said the LGPC is aware of possible impacts on tourism, but said the long-term problem may be much worse. “If we don’t do something, the outcome is very clear,” Wick said. “We’re trying not to impact short-term business interests while protecting the long-term health of the lake.” Wick and Cook repeatedly referred to Lake Tahoe, Calif., where asian clams have over-run the lake. They pointed to a 2009 Lake Tahoe study that estimated invasive species are costing the local economy $20 million annually. Lake George currently has five invasive species in its waters— asian clam, eurasian milfoil, zebra mussels, curlyleaf pondweed and spiny waterflea. The LGPC spends more than $1 million a year to manage and eradicate invasive species. Cook stressed the expense of any invasive species prevention program is money well spent. “It’s much cheaper to keep invasives out that to remove them,” Cook said. Wick admitted no program will be 100 percent successful in the fight against invasive species. He believes the mandatory inspection and decontamination can eliminate 98 percent of invasive species from reaching Lake George. The LGPC proposals for fighting invasive species are outlines on the agency’s website, www.lgpc.state.ny.us “There’s no smoke or mirrors,” Wick said. “All the information has been made available to the public. We’ve had meetings like this; it’s on our website. “At the end of the day the (LGPC) commissioners will make a decision,” he added.

Assistance to needy horses by Kathy Templeton 623-2967 feidenk33@yahoo.com

Fall Farm Tour plans forming The Thurman Fall Farm Tour is occurring Saturday Oct. 6 and Oct. 7, and a there’s quite a list of destinations for the 2012 edition of this annual event. Stopoffs and activities on the self-guided tour include horse riding and observing farm animals at Wolf Pond Stables in Stony Creek; a quilt show at the Thurman Town Hall; tours of the Toad Hill Maple Farm in Thurman — and sampling of their products; visits to Whitefield’s Farm Stand for farm-fresh produce and meats — and pumpkin painting for the children; an encounter with unusual creatures at the Peru Llama farm, and an artisans craft fair at The Glen Lodge. The tour includes a stopoff at the Adirondack Ambiance Rustic Furniture and Art Gallery at Thurman Station; visits to Valley Road Maple Farm including breakfasts with Mike Hill manning the griddle; and a tour of Martin's Certified Tree Farm and Sawmill, which will host several craft displays; and a visit at Nettle Meadow Farm which produces gourmet cheeses renowned nationally. The weekend also features a chicken barbecue Saturday, Oct. 6 sponsored by the Thurman Volunteer Fire Co. and held at Toad Hill Maple Farm,

Over the fence Anyone driving past the Thurman Rail Station can’t help but notice how beautifully it has been decorated with autumn maple leafs. Credit for this job is given to Sally HaakFeihel, Cheryl and Marc Kenyon and Richard Lamphier. This crew would like to add to their fall decorations, so anyone with Chrysanthemums or pumpkins to share, call Cheryl at 623-9718.

A new food bank for horses has been launched in Thurman. Called Pix’s Pantry, it’s been organized by Anastacia Montalova to help horse owners facing hard times and having difficulty purchasing hay, grain, medical supplies, and buckets. Montalova said her goal is to assure that no one will have to make the difficult decision of selling or giving away their horses — or sending them off to slaughter. Apparently, this is a situation that more than a few horse owners in the area have been faced with, especially in the winter months. Donations of feed, hay, grain, bedding, equine supplies and cash donations — as well as medical supplies, including vaccines — are all welcome. Contact Anastacia Montalova on Facebook for more details. Incidentally, a new equine transporting business, A&S Equine Logistics, has recently been launched by Staci Montalvo and AmyBeth Tomb. This enterprise is based out of Athol and Hudson Falls. They are offering very competitive rates for their service. For details, contact: asequinelogistics@yahoo.com or call 409-6833.

Flood grant funds accepted At the Aug. 14 Town Board meeting, it was resolved that the town will accept a state grant of $261,000 for River Road reconstruction at the Patterson Creek crossing and additional funding in the amount of $14,562 for the Dippikill Road washouts.

Activities & events in the hills On Sept. 5, quite a few members of the Sugarloaf Seniors Group attended the Warren County Seniors Picnic at the Elks Club in Queensbury. Over 400 area seniors from Warren County participated in the event. At 11:30 a.m. Sept. 19, the Sugarloaf Seniors will host a luncheon at George Henry’s in Warrensburg. Membership in the group is still only $10 per year. Contact Norma at 623- 9425 to join. A voter registration session will be held at the Thurman Town Hall on Oct. 11 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and on Oct. 13 from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. Those who have never voted on the new computerized

voting equipment and would like some instructions, may obtain an explanation on Oct. 11. Citizens are urged to stop by and become prepared to fulfill our American civic duty. The next Thurman Cemetery Committee meeting will be held at the Thurman Town Hall at 5 p.m. Oct. 16. those who have not already reserved a cemetery plot, now would be a good time to do so, committee members say. For details, contact Marc or Cheryl at 623-9718. Representatives of the Office for the Aging will be at the Thurman Town Hall Nov. 21 from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. to accept applications for HEAP fuel assistance for the winter.

Local horse wins race Congratulations go out to 5-year-old gelding “No More Taxes” who won his very first race Sept. 6 at Finger Lakes by 3 and a half lengths. This was a maiden claiming race and the second race of the day. Congratulations also go to the horse’s owner, Lois Engel of Pucker Ridge Racing in Warrensburg. No More Taxes’ trainer Dan Jacobs reported that Taxes seemed happy after the race and ate up dinner like there was no tomorrow. Engel said that the horse seemed to be enjoying his new surroundings and she planned on bringing him back to the farm to be a riding horse, as he has the perfect disposition for that role.

On a personal note Celebrating Anniversaries this week are Cindy and Bill Altman, Gail and Jim Needham & Kelly and Ted Schmidt on Sept. 15; Tom and Pam Near on Sept. 16; and Ruth and Don Mitchell plus Debbie and Robert Perna on Sept. 17. Blowing out Birthday candles this week are Michael Allen on Sept. 15; Doug Strodel and Bruce Dingman on Sept. 17; Joshua Vopleus, Patrick Eldridge and Lori Vanderbilt on Sept. 18; Max Galusha and Jessica Lapoint on Sept. 19; Vic Baker and Van Baker on Sept. 20; and Brianna Hennessy, Claudette Schloss, Kendall Baker and Jay Harrison on Sept. 21.

Stony Creek news To anyone interested in working on holiday gifts or projects, learning to knit or crochet, or simply looking for some fun and fellowship, the Crafty Creekers will resume their gatherings each Monday night at 6:30 at the Stony Creek Free Library beginning Sept. 17. All are welcome to bring craft supplies and enjoy working and socializing together.

Health center from page 1 center is to be three stories tall and sit close to Main St. in Warrensburg where the health center ’s parking lot is now situated adjacent to Richards Avenue. The present building, serving into the mid-1970s as a supermarket, would be demolished. This aging building, set far back from street, would be utilized until the new building is fully equipped and ready to go, allowing the health center to offer uninterrupted service, HHHN officials have said. All plans for the facility are subject to town approval. In late April, the Warrensburg Health Center was awarded a $5 million federal grant for construction for the new facility, estimated to cost $6.3 million at that time. Since that time, the plans for the structure changed from two stories to three. The building is expected to be about 30,000 square-feet of floorspace, rather than the 14,000- or so in the present building. Cost estimates have also increased to a sum exceeding $7.5 million, Nelson said, noting that if this new funding endorsement becomes reality, the money would help fill a projected funding gap.

The federal grant and the funding endorsement are apparently in addition to a pending grant request for $400,000 in conjunction with construction. Nelson said present plans call for groundbreaking on the facility to be held this spring, and that the project would create 350 to 400 construction jobs. “The reason the health center project was chosen, is that it’s truly a regional facility,” he said, noting that the Warrensburg Health Center tallied more than 100,000 patient visits over the last two years, and about 70 percent of the patients live outside of the town of Warrensburg. For all these patients, the health center offers urgent care 7 days and 6 evenings per week. HHHN founder Dr. John Rugge has said that with the new building in place, more services may be added and 15 to 20 new local jobs are projected. Nelson added that regardless of the pending funds, HHHN is still looking for more money to make the center a reality, and appeals to foundations and the public are planned. The only other project in northern Warren County receiving an endorsement Monday by the Capital Region Economic Development Council was the funding of new public docks in Lake George.

Police determined that Drew T. Foster, 21, had removed a screen and opened up a window in the process of entering the restaurant, police said. After an investigation, Foster was arrested for third-degree Attempted Burglary and Disorderly Conduct. He was arraigned in Lake George Town Court and transported to Warren County Jail for lack of bail.

Police: Man choked his father, 82 CHESTER — A Chestertown man faces felony charges after allegedly strangling his 82-year-old father in the elderly man’s home, authorities said. On Aug. 27 the Warren County Sheriffs officers investigated a report of a domestic dispute that occurred at the elder man’s home a day earlier. Police said Kevin F. Colton, 57, also of Chestertown, assaulted his father. Colton was charged with the felonies of second-degree Strangulation and second-degree Assault. He was arraigned at the Town of Chester Court and sent to jail without bail. Authorities said Colton’s father was not hurt in the incident. Colton had been convicted of third-degree Criminal Mischief in 2011 for smashing the windshield and headlights of a car in Chestertown, and had been incarcerated recently for violating his probation.

L.G. biker faces felony DWI charge QUEENSBURY— A Lake George teenager was arrested Aug. 30 on a Felony charge of Aggravated Unlicensed Operation after he drove while intoxicated although his license was suspended from a previous DWI. At about 1 a.m., a Warren County Sheriff ’s patrol officer Kevin Conine observed a motorcycle driving on Walkup Road in Queensbury without lights on. Conine then observed the dirt bike crash after failing to stop at a stop sign.

Conine then subjected Daniel P. Canale, 19, of Pickle Hill Road in Lake George, to various tests for intoxication. Canale was mostly uninjured in the crash, but was determined to be intoxicated, police said, and was arrested for DWI. Canale refused to take a chemical test but was charged with common-law DWI. A check of Canale’s driver ’s license determined that he currently has a suspended license from a previous DWI. This DWI arrest was the second within five months for Canale, authorities said. Canale was also charged with his dirt bike being unregistered and uninsured. Canale was arraigned in Queensbury Town Court.

Motorcyclist jailed after 140-mph chase LAKE GEORGE — A motorcyclist fleeing from police at speeds as high as 140 miles per hour was arrested, sent to jail, and now faces multiple charges, authorities said. At about 3 p.m. Sept. 1, Sheriff ’s Patrol Officer Jason Martindale attempted to stop a 2006 Suzuki motorcycle traveling at 110 m.p.h. south on I-87. The motorcyclist, William G. Moll, 41, of Cohoes, fled south from Northway Exit 19 where he used the U turn path south of Exit 18 to change directions and proceed north on I-87, police said. He continued his run from authorities until he was stopped on the northbound off-ramp at I-87 Exit 22 in Lake George where he then resisted arrest by struggling with officers, police said. Moll faces a felony charge of first-degree Reckless Endangerment and the Misdemeanors of Resisting Arrest, fourthdegree Criminal Mischief and third-degree Unlawful Flight from a Police Officer. He was also charged with many traffic violations. Moll was arraigned in Queensbury Town Court where he was sent to Warren County Jail for lack of $15,000 bail.

Mini-Burghers’ elder squad overpowers Whitehall team WARRENSBURG— The Warrensburg Youth Football program kicked off Saturday with games against Whitehall. The younger squad lost this first contest of the year, but the senior group of 5th and 6th graders — a squad that in 2011 won the regional youth Superbowl championship — were triumphant. The 3rd- and 4th-grade squad battled to a 36-0 loss, with the experienced mini-Railroaders overpowering the home team. The young Burghers learned a lot in the game, as they have been so far in the 2012 practices. “Though the score did not reflect it, the kids came a long way from beginning to end,” head coach Mike Curtis said. “Our future is certainly bright.” This younger team was led on both sides of the ball with

good efforts by Hunter McKenna and Hope Boland. The 5th- and 6th-grade squad faced an opponent they knew well in Whitehall, having played them — and handing them a defeat — in last year ’s Superbowl, the first ever for the Northern Adirondack Youth Football League. “We knew Whitehall would be out for revenge, and we used that for our inspiration,” Coach Gary Baker said. The Railroaders’ revenge inspired the players to contain the Burghers’ scoring drives in the first half with three successive goal line stands. The Burghers, however, fought back before halftime, punching through the Railroaders’ defense for a touchdown. The Burghers then took action to keep the Railroaders off balance strategically, Baker said.

The team’s offensive attack was formidable, racking up more than 300 yards. The effort was led by running backs Evan Macduff, Danny Kelly and Jackson Corriveau behind the blocking of Peyton Olden and others. Maclane Baker played an outstanding game at quarterback, controlling the ball well and executing plays as planned. The offensive line, led by Hunter Mosher, Nolan McNeil, Bill Cameron, Zach Barber, Sean Winter, Chris Wilson, Brandon Bailey and Kurt Fuller, blocked well all day, giving Baker the time he needed to get is work accomplished. Defense was led by Hunter Mosher, Evan Macduff, Brandon Bailey, Chris Wilson, Danny Kelly and Sean Winter. The teams play Saturday, Sept. 15 at home versus Corinth at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Court dispute lands L.G. skateboarders on Judge Judy show By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — A legal dispute which pitted two local skateboarders against a Lake George business owner was featured in a Tuesday Sept. 11 episode of the Judge Judy show. Frankie Cavone of Lake George, a skateboarder who has been working for years to establish a local skateboard park, appeared in a Judge Judy showdown in which Gerald Bongiorno, owner of the Hawaiian Shaved Ice kiosk in the Village Mall, sought nearly $3,000 in compensation from Cavone and his skateboarding friend Chris Brauser of Warrensburg for alleged vandalism. A gathering to watch the skateboard lawsuit episode occurred at Tuesday afternoon at the East Cove Restaurant. Hors d’ouvres were available for $5, and the proceeds were donated to skateboard park development. Cavone said the legal saga began March 18, when he and Brauser were skateboarding at the lakeside entrance to the mall, and saw what appeared to be an abandoned, weathered picnic table, and they decided to place it against the mall’s steps to use it as a skate ramp. Cavone videotaped the aerial skate

stunts for a graphics project and posted it on YouTube. A Lake George High School graduate, Cavone is a student at Hudson Valley Community College, concentrating in video production and broadcasting. The table belonged to Bongiorno's business. Bongiorno sued in Lake George Town Court for several hundred dollars in damages to the picnic table, Cavone said. Cavone and his mother, Tina Cacckello, said Bongiorno contacted the Judge Judy Show producers, and they decided to take on the case, transferring it from town court. Cavone, Cacckello, Brauser and Bongiorno were flown out to Los Angeles for the filming of the show — at the television production company’s expense. Cavone said that during the taping of the episode, he mentioned his work to establish the Lake George Skateboard Park, now nearing construction in the Charles Wood Park. He said that he quipped, “The mayor ’s got our back,” referring to Lake George Mayor Robert Blais advocating the skate park. Such a comment may have backfired, he mused Sept. 2. Judge Judy reacted with characteristic intensity, admonishing the two skateboarders, and awarding Bongiorno $2,795 for a new picnic table, and to compensate him for van-

dalism that Cavone and Cacckello said wasn’t at all related to the incident. They said that his original claim of several hundred dollars in town court got inflated to $2,795 for television. Bongiorno declined to comment when called this week regarding the case. Although Judge Judy came down hard on Cavone and Brauser, saying they were responsible for all the damage although they might have only hurt the picnic table. In a dramatic flourish that would likely not hold up in a real court, Judge Judy said they were responsible because they might know the skaters who caused the other vandalism on the property, and they might as well pay up and collect from the real perpetrators. On the show, Bongiorno pledged to donate his court award to the Lake George Skateboard Park development fund. Cacckello said after the show’s airing that she and other local citizens were pleased with Bongiorno’s donation pledge, but she’d contacted members of the skateboard park development committee, and they hadn’t yet seen such a donation materialize. Cavone said he was nervous during the show’s taping, knowing millions of people would be watching it.

Body of missing Chestertown man discovered in Crown Point By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — A body found in Crown Point Sept. 7 has been tentatively identified as a missing Warren County man. State police said they believe the body is that of Keith R. Gill, age 45, of Chestertown and Bryn Mawr, Pa., who has been missing from a family camp on Loon Lake near Chestertown since Aug. 19. A New York State Department of Environmental Conservation officer discovered the body at 4:40 p.m. Sept. 7 near

Car show from page 1 of a 1934 Ford Coupe, and able to accomplish louder and longer burnouts than most of all the cars in bumper-to-bumper traffic experienced in the village through the weekend. While the car ’s body was restored from the original automobile, the engine was a 406-cubic inch monster that turns out 630 horsepower. It runs on 104-octane fuel pumped out of a chromed cell tank in the trunk. Corbile’s burnouts can be seen on YouTube – to find them, just Google “MTL Burn-Out”. Corbile said he doesn’t let his investment of $120,000 or so dissuade him from driving his hot rod to car shows — he said enjoys the conversations and stares it prompts. He bought the original car in Indiana six years ago, and has been working on it since. Nearby, Gordon LeBlanc, of Hollis, NH said he also drove his car to the show, although most other show entrants transport their vehicles in trailers. LeBlanc’s 1934 Plymouth four-door sedan also prompts a lot of attention, with its front and rear suicide doors, elongated hood and towering grille — his classic resembles the vehicle Bonnie and Clyde drove, he said. “I drive it all the time to cruise nights and auto shows,’ he said. “People love it.” His Plymouth tows a fiberglass trailer resembling a chopped Plymouth coupe of the same vintage. Both the car and the trailer were both painted in matching two-tone colors of pastel turquoise and “Vanilla Frappe,”

Peasley Road, about a mile from the spot police had found Gill’s car two weeks ago. State police responded along with Essex County Coroner Paul Connery who authorized transport of the remains to the Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake for an autopsy. Documents and items belonging to Gill were located at the scene. An autopsy was performed on the remains by Dr C. Francis Varga at Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake Sept. 8. The cause of death was ruled to by a self-inflicted gun shot wound to the head. Essex County Coroner Paul Connery ruled the manner of death as suicide. Positive identification is pending a forensic dental com-

a color picked out by Gordon LeBlanc and his wife Donna. Gordon, 64, a grocery executive, got into the hobby after he restored a 1967 Chevy Nova, he said as he sat in a circle of friends — members of the Sunshine Kruiser car enthusiasts group — on the grounds of Fort William Henry, the show’s headquarters. “I wanted a car to cruise in for my retirement,” LeBlanc said. “I was interested in this vehicle, then my wife saw the car and liked it so much, she gave me the money to buy it.” Besides the Bonnie-and-Clyde image, the two-tone paint job is what spectators appreciate most, he said. “People like to see it and it makes them smile, and that makes me smile,” LeBlanc said, noting he and Donna enjoy cruising and touring about 17,000 miles per year touring in the antique Plymouth. LeBlanc said he travels to shows all over the northeast, but Lake George is his favorite destination. He’s been to nine of the annual Adirondack Nationals shows in the last 11 years. “The Village of Lake George makes the difference,” he said. “The girls can go shopping, there’s lots of good restaurants, and there’s a lot to do here.” Restoring vintage cars, LeBlanc concluded, isn’t just about the hardware, it’s about connecting with people. “This car is a conduit to friendship,” he said. Lindsey Smith, of Londonderry NH, didn’t drive his vehicle to Adirondack Nationals. Perhaps it was the money he’d invested, or maybe his perfectly polished paint job

Jazz Fest from page 1 A special evening presentation at 7:30 will headline Donald Harrison. He is the originator of Noveau Swing, combining traditional New Orleans jazz and contemporary influences. He was named a top artist by Jazziz magazine in 2007, and has nurtured a number of acclaimed musicians. He brings with him Congo Square Nation, the secret society of the Mardi-Gras Indians which he has integrated into his music. Sunday opens at 1 p.m. with John Tank and the Tin Palace Reunion Band. Tank is a Canadian born, New York City-based tenor saxophone player who has been compared to John Coltrane. He brings with him the Tin Palace Band, a tribute to the former NYC Bowery club owned by longtime Jazz Weekend music coordinator Paul Pines. Next up at 2:30 p.m. is slide-trumpeter Steven Bernstein and his eight-piece Millennial Orchestra. Bernstein is a bandleader and arranger who performs in the jazz-rock milieu. Closing out the festival at 4:15 p.m. Sunday is John Benitez with special guest Donald Harrison. Benitez is a Grammy award-winning bassist born in Puerto Rico who has deep roots in gospel music as well as embracing Afro-Caribbean influences. Concert goers are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets. Several food vendors will be present in the park through the weekend.

parison. After Gill’s disappearance from the Loon Lake camp, his 1999 BMW was found on Peasley Road in Crown Point, setting off a massive search by State Department of Environmental Conservation forest rangers and Environmental Conservation police, state police, the Essex County Sheriff ’s Department, Ticonderoga town police and Crown Point firefighters. The coordinated search was discontinued last week after finding no sign of Gill. Gill is a 1985 graduate of North Warren High School in Chestertown. Police said he had no connection to Essex County.

that cost more than a late-model used car. His high-powered hot rod that resembles a 1934 Ford Roadster, was transported to Lake George in a large van. The reproduction has 16-inch-wide rear tires, a 540-cubic-inch engine with a blower on top, that produces 850 horsepower with a flip of the throttle. Smith said that after he built it on weekends over two years, he was initially scared of experiencing its performance at full power. “The first few times I backed it out of the garage, I didn’t touch the gas pedal,” he said. “Eventually I got used to controlling the accelerator,’ he added, noting that he now occasionally treats himself to a modest “burnout.” Smith’s car isn’t just about power, however. It includes a digital dashboard which includes an LCD television screen and an 50watt Alpine stereo system. Nearby, Steve and Vickie Bradshaw of Staatsburg, NY stood beside their 1965 Cobra reproduction, greeting people of all ages who admired his racing stock car reproduction. Last year, his Cobra was voted one of the show’s “Favorite 50” of the 1,500 entries. His award earned him a spot in two rows flanking the show’s main entrance. “That award was like Tiger Woods winning a green jacket at the Masters,” Steve Bradshaw said, noting the paint job may have been a factor — what appeared to bystanders as mere black paint was far more complex — Layers deep, it was Romanesque

Crimson applied over Pearl in Black. Bradshaw added that when he drives his classic sports car, people of all ages recognize it. “I’ll get ‘thumbs up’ from everybody from young kids to old ladies in their 80s,” he said as he chugged a Bud Light. One car at the show not boasting such power was Marc Merkle’s 1957 Nash Metropolitan. It’s a classic automobile that was built far before the term “compact car” was in the nation’s lexicon. It has stylings of the imposing 1950s sedans, but it’s so small it can be parked on a 4’x8’ sheet of plywood. His Metropolitan sports 42 horsepower, but can get 44 miles per gallon of gas, he said as he gulped some Orange Crush, which was the same color as on his two-tone Nash.“I’ll challenge any of these other cars to a race on one tank of gas,” he added with a grin. Merkle, from Lake Luzerne, said he spent three and a half years restoring it. The painstaking work included re-fabricating body parts that were rusted out and welding them to the body. He drives his Nash from car show to car show in the region, and in doing so, he’s met three previous owners of the car who had given up on restoring it. Merkle, Bradshaw and Corbile all said Adirondack Nationals was their favorite car show because the people attending it were devoted enthusiasts, and there was a lot to do in Lake George. “It’s not even sunny out, and look at this crowd,” Bradshaw said.
