Obama visits Capital Region college By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com
By Jonathan Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Despite living in some of New York’s poorest municipalities, many Adirondack residents are subject to some of the highest tax rates per capita in the state. According to data compiled by the state Comptroller and analyzed by the government watchdog group the Empire Center for New York State Policy, towns and counties in the Park top the tax burden list, while offering some of the fewest social services. In 2007, the Hamilton County tax burden was $1,606 per resident — the most expensive in the state. Warren County ranked third statewide at $1,255 per resident and Essex County ranks ninth at $1,065. The out-of-park counties of Saratoga, Wyoming and Orleans have the smallest tax burdens per resident. At the town level, the Essex County community of Newcomb has the largest tax burden statewide at $6,293 per resident. Hamilton County is well represented in the top 10 most burdensome places with Arietta ranking second, Inlet third, Long Lake fifth, Lake Pleasant 10th and Indian Lake 11th. A total of 908 towns are represented in the study. In contrast, Hamilton County ranked 53rd in per capita spending for social services, while Essex ranks 47th. Essex County also ranks seventh in per capita spending on employee benefits at $349. Hamilton is number three and Lewis County tops the list at $808 per resident. According to LA Group Planner Jim Martin, who has for years scrutinized statistics on the Adirondacks, most non-park municipalities are comprised of roughly 30 percent industrial or commercial property. But in the Adirondack Park, the total amount of commercial or industrial property drops to a paltry 0.3 percent. And this is at the core of the cash shortage to shoulder taxes in municipalities inside the park borders. “The regular taxpayer puts in $1 and takes out $1.30 in services,” Martin said. “A company puts in $1 and takes out .35 cents.” New York regularly tops the list of most highly taxed states, making Adirondack residents some of the most taxed in the nation. Meanwhile, the average Adirondack household brings in a median income of roughly $43,000 annually, $8,000 below the statewide average.

TROY — Visiting a community college Monday in the Capital Region, U.S. President Barack Obama unveiled new federal proposals intended to spur the creation of hightechnology jobs, boost 21st century education and foster innovation that will revitalize the national economy. Although the president’s visit to Hudson Valley Community College was a scripted, controlled event with only minor interaction with the public and no question-and-answer session with the press, Obama received a warm welcome and plenty of media attention. The President announced his administration’s initiatives — dubbed the Strategy for Innovation and Sustainable Growth, in front of an audience of about 200 Capital Region business leaders, politicians, and 60 HVCC students in an automotive technology classroom — essentially a repair garage which until late last week hosted cars perched on vehi-
cle lifts. The relatively small audience was selected by the White House staff, leaving many to wonder why a public event was not held. The initiatives include boosting college enrollment by increasing federal Pell grants to college students, creating a simplified $2,500 tax credit for college tuition, boosting aid to soldiers returning from combat in the mideast, liberalizing college aid by shifting aid qualifications from evaluating past annual pay to present earnings, and increasing federal support to community colleges. He also voiced support for a bill that passed the House of Representatives last week that calls for the government to lend to students directly for college tuition, saving $80 billion in federal student loan subsidies and guarantees now going to banks. This money would be redirected to beefing up Pell grants and fund incentives for students to graduate, he said. “These savings will allow us to make the largest investment ever in

Challengers win in Warrensburg, Bolton By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — The primary elections in Warren County yielded surprises Sept. 15, as challengers surpassed incumbents in several of the races. Also, in several contests in the region, several popular politicians — lacking backup party endorsements— were knocked off the November ballot. In Warrensburg, Former Town Supervisor and funeral home owner Maynard D. Baker (R,I) won a surprising 300271 margin over incumbent Town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty (R,C), long-time public servant, for a four-year term. Baker campaigned on cutting spending and taxes. Both are back in November, as Geraghty has the Conservative Party endorsement. Geraghty served for many years as a town conuncilman before winning the Supervisor post four years ago. In the town of Bolton, Republican Ronald Conover (R,Ic.), a retired city planner and a newcomer to politics, received 350 votes, winning a hefty margin of 350 to 118 over former town supervisor Alexander “Zandy” Gabriels. For Warrensburg Town Board, funeral home owner John Alexander (R) led three candidates with 310 votes, with former town Planning Board member and chair Bryan Rounds (R) a close second at 307, followed by insurance executive Joseph Barlow, R,C,I) with 254 votes. All will be back in November. Competition was heated in Lake George, where five Republicans were vying to be their party’s representative for two Town Board seats. Incumbent Vinnie Crocitto (R,Ic), councilman since 2002, topped the roster with 263 votes, followed by a surprisingly strong showing by former Planning and Zoning coordinator Fran Heinrich (R,Ic) with 209, former Town Board member George McGowan (R,C) with 187, followed by local businessman John Carr (R) at 163, and former Town and Janie Green (R,D) with 68. Since he had no supplementary endorsement, Carr ’s name won’t be on the ballot in November, but the rest will be back. In the general election, they’ll be joined in the race by Marisa Muratori, a former Lake George Village trustee who is a Republican, but running under a Democratic label. Lake George’s supervisor race was uncontested in the Primary. But in November, Councilman Frank McCoy (R) will face former Town Supervisor Dennis L. Dickinson (D). In Thurman, four G.O.P candidates were seeking two open
board seats. Former Warrensburg Central School Athletic Director Albert Vasak (R) appointed this summer to fill a term, garnered the heaviest support with 69 votes, followed by Incumbent Charles Bills (R) with 54 votes, and Rebecca DeSourdy (R) with 35 votes, and former Town Justice candidate Glenda Duell (R,I) with 33 votes. DeSoiurdy, with her single party label, won’t be on the ballot in November. For the Thurman Supervisor post, there was no primary, but incumbent Red Pitkin (Ic., I) will be challenged in November by Randy Oppitz (D,C) and assessor Thomas Birdsall (R). In Stony Creek, Incumbent Town Supervisor Frank Thomas (R,Ic), buried Tara Tremaine Fisher (R,C) with a vote of 150 to 52. For the Superintendent of Highways race, incumbent Neil Bradley (R, I) received 120 votes, topping challenger Ian Thomas (R,I) who had 85. But with those independent party affiliations, all will be on the ballot again in November. For the town board, challenger Harry Paul Gill (R,I) received 110 votes, edging out incumbents Bill Liebl with 106 and Warren Braman with 100. In Bolton, unlike the race for the Supervisor post, incumbents held their own. For two town board seats, Gregory R. Smith (R) had the strongest showing with 318 votes, followed by incumbent Owen James Maranville (R, Ic) with 287 and challenger Scott P. Anderson (R) with 212. Apparently, Anderson is now off the November ballot, but Ed Corcoran (D) joins the fray. For Town Justice, incumbent Harry Demarest (R) received 296 votes, retaining his party endorsement against a challenge mounted by Richard D. Sammis (R) with 134 votes. For Highway Superintendent, incumbent Timothy A. Coon (R) was victorious with 264 votes, rebuffing a challenge by William A. Sherman (R, I) who received 209 votes. In November, Anton Cooper (C) joins the race. In Horicon, Incumbent town board member Frank L. Hill (R) was the first choice with 165 votes, followed by incumbent Robert E. Olson (R) with 148 and challenger Gary F. Frenz (R) with 110 — so this puts Frenz off the ballot in November. In Johnsburg, there’s no primary for town board. In November, two Incumbents Ron Vanselow (D) and Arnold Stevens (R), will be challenged by Roger Mosher (I). The Highway Superintendent post did have primary race — Daniel B. Hitchcock (R,I) took top honors in the race with 126 votes, surpassing Frederick T. Comstock (R,I) with 68.
Woman accused of sex with boy during Queensbury visit By Matt Bosley denpubs@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — A woman in her 30s was indicted by a Warren County jury last week on accusations she had sex with an underage boy after providing him beer at a Queensbury hotel. Joey Strong, 35, of Au Sable Forks was arrested in April on allegations that she had sex with a then-16-yearold boy while staying in a Queensbury hotel in late March. Police said the incident occurred while Strong was chaperoning a group of
teenage boys for a basketball tournament in Glens Falls. They said Strong supplied at least four of the boys with alcohol, including the alleged victim. In addition to felony charge of third-degree rape, Strong was indicted on misdemeanor charges of endangering the welfare of a child and unlawfully dealing with a child. Strong entered a plea of not guilty Sept. 16. Police have said the rape charge was lodged because of the boy's age. The legal age of consent in New York is 17. Strong, who has volunteered for the past eight

Lake George joins campaign for state Constitutional reform Burden of taxes, mandates cited By Jonathan Alexander and Thom Randall denpubs@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Citing the frustration of a high property tax burden, ongoing state legislative gridlock and excessive state

measures such as caps pm state spending and property taxes, restrictions on unfunded mandates and debt reform. Such a state Constitutional Convention, under the existing state laws, can only be called once every 20 years. If the Kolb bill passes, the state’s citizenry would vote on whether to call the convention this November. Voters would then go to the polls and elect regional delegates in 2011. Kolb’s People’s Convention Act is calling for the entire state Constitution to be reopened and for a gathering of grassroots citizen delegates to gather and attempt to find solutions to the many problems in Albany. ”Quite frankly, people across the state are fed up that the institutions are not fixing the problems,” said Brian Kolb (RCanandaigua). “This will at least give an opportunity for the people to have a say aside from the institutional powers that currently exist.” Politicians and lobbyists would be excluded from serving as Convention delegates, unless they gave up their posts first, Kolb said. “We are trying to make this as non-partisan and non-political as possible.” If the Kolb bill passes, the state’s citizenry would vote on whether to call the convention this November. Voters would then go to the polls and elect regional delegates in 2011. According to a recent Quinnipiac University poll, 72 percent of New Yorkers are fed up with recurring gridlock in the state legislature. Faced with such a negative perception, Democratic Assembly “back-benchers” and the Republican minority leadership are pushing for the Constitutional convention. But their lobbying effort is facing opposition from majority leadership and Governor David Paterson. Local Republican Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward said recently that she supports the grassroots reform measure. Sayward said the public anger aimed at Albany is not only visceral, but warranted. ”People are angry and they have a right to be angry,” Sayward said. “We have huge ethics problems.” According to recent poll data, new restrictions on term limits for lawmakers and
greater transparency of campaign fund-raising are several of the many concerns now being raised by New Yorkers. Other issues of interest to the statewide voters are ethics reform in both state legislative bodies and creating methods to create citizen-forced statewide referendums — like those that regularly occur in California. Sayward said she would like to see term limits imposed and greater restrictions on how campaign money is spent. But the Democratic leadership in both state legislative houses and Gov. David Paterson are skeptical of calling a convention five years early. In 1997, the voting public decided, after significant lobbying from public interest groups, to not hold one. But citizens’ collective mood may have changed — and that now apparently includes political power-brokers. Former Democratic Governor Mario Cuomo is campaigning for the Constitutional convention to be held early. And following last month’s state Senate coup, former Republican Congressman Rick Lazio — who is now running for Governor — is calling for the state Senate to be abolished, creating a unicameral state governmental system. Sayward said Monday she believes the roots of the Democratic leadership’s resistance stems from a fear of losing political capital. ”The majority has everything to lose, because they get stripped of their power,” Sayward said. “There is a fine line between good leadership and power — and when it slips and you have only power, it’s time for you to go.” But Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver said that the process is a costly risk with no guarantee of producing any substantive reform. Silver declined to comment any further on the topic. The last Constitutional convention was held in 1967, but all proposed changes stemming from it were defeated by public referendum. However, not all Constitutional conventions have been for naught. Revolutionary measures like the 40-hour work-week and the Forever Wild clause of the state Constitution are direct results of previous constitutional conventions.

Jazz Fest flourishes under sunny skies By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Sunny skies and soaring music meant a magical experience for jazz fans Saturday and Sunday during the 2009 Lake George Jazz weekend held in Shepard Park. The annual festival is organized by the Lake George Arts Project. Laura Von Rosk of the Arts Project said Tuesday the crowd was perhaps the largest in a decade, and they enjoyed a wide range of musical offerings, from a classical-jazz fusion of the Bill Mays Inventions Trio to the Grammy-winning Cuban stylings of Ignacio Berrora. “I think we had the biggest crowd ever — Shepard Park was filled with people enjoying the jazz, and the weather was fabulous. Saturday’s bands were capped off by Giacomo Gates Quintet. Gates is renowned for his vocalese idiom and his ability to mimic the sounds of instruments. Sunday’s lineup was launched by the Roland Vazquez Quintet. Vasquez, a renowned drummer and composer, plays Afro-Cuban and Puerto Rican stylings. Vazquez was followed by internationally acclaimed trombonist Steve Turre, an award-winning mainstay of the Saturday Night Live band since 1985. Wrapping up the 2009 jazz fest was Diane Moser ’s Composers Big Band, with lively jazz originals, which Van Rosk said resonated with the crowd. “Diane Moser and her group were incredible,” she said.

•50 Years Ago – September, 1959• Tourism rebounds with good weather Vacation tourist resorts in this area have had an excellent season. Good weather was largely responsible. This is a strong contrast to last year,1958, when rain and cold made serious inroads on vacation business. The Warren County Republican Committee has re-elected Earl Vetter of Chestertown as chairman. Lake George High School Coach John Dawes reports that his soccer team, the Lakers, are ready for a big season. Vose Shattuck and Butch Dyer are the new managers of Circle R. Ranch, Friends Lake, Chestertown.
The way it was Harry M. MacDougall, president of the county Historical society, says he remembers the old days when itinerant rag peddlers would come to his mother ’s door either on foot with a pack on their back or on a one or two horse cart. They would sell food, tinware, dippers, brooms, milk pans, basins, etc., taking rags for payment. Sometimes women, trundling a baby carriage full of goods, would make a visit. Knife and scissors sharpeners were always welcome. These people occasionally came from gypsy encampments. He said his mother would buy red and white wool long underwear for him and if the underwear didn’t keep him warm, the scratching did.
News in brief The Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce is promoting an annual Floyd Bennett Day to honor our local fallen hero. Little girl’s back to school dresses are $2.98 at Grants Department Store in Glens Falls. Sirloin steak is 79 cents a pound at the Grand Union. Black Angus beef steak is available at Oscar Quintal’s market. The Warrensburg News office is located at 4 Burhans Ave. A complete luncheon at the Colonial Arms Hotel, owned by Mark and Edna Bruce, which consists of soup, a sandwich, dessert and beverage, is 95 cents.
Welcoming newcomers Warrensburg Ford dealer John Hickey has been in Detroit viewing the new 1960 model Ford. During his absence the stork arrived and there is a new 1959 model Hickey on the scene. Peter Andrew Hickey apparently is not one of the “compact” models as he weighed in at 8 pounds. Mrs. Hickey is the former Mary L. Irving, daughter of Arthur P. Irving of Glens Falls. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Damp of Albany are the parents of a daughter, Linda Jean Damp, born Aug. 30, 1959 at Brady Maternity Hospital. Mrs. Damp is the former Alice Whittemore, daughter of Bert Whittemore of Warrensburg. Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Winslow of Thurman are the parents of a daughter, Jane Marie Winslow, born Sept. 10, 1959 at Glens Falls Hospital. Mrs. Winslow is the former Barbara Bly, daughter of Clayton Bly of Warrensburg. Mr. and Mrs. James Bruce of Warrensburg are the parents of a son, David James Bruce, born Sept. 20, 1959 at Glens Falls Hospital. Mrs. Bruce is the former Faith Ball, daughter of Rev. Stanley Ball. Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Gonyo of Schroon Lake are the parents of twins, Danny and Debby Gonyo, born Sept. 24, 1959 at Glens Falls Hospital.

As you recall from last week’s column, the Warren County Fair was a mainstay event in summer 100 years ago. The expansive county fairgrounds were located west of Ashe’s Hotel where subdivisions were built in the mid 1900s. This vintage photograph of the Warrensburgh fairgrounds grandstand and racetrack, circa 1913, was found about 1965 on the floor of the old Ben Glynn barn —now the Warren County Fish Hatchery property — after the farmhouse burned. The two men in the automobile are (left to right): Gov. Charles Evans Hughes of Glens Falls and Sen. James A. Emerson of Warrensburgh.

ast week I introduced you to some of the fun ways shoppers can make "Buy one, get one free" (BOGO) sales even more rewarding. Anytime we can buy one item and get another free, we're essentially buying two at half price each. So how do we make a half-off sale even better? With coupons, of course! Here's the third "best-kept secret" of couponing: Secret #3: Use Two Coupons During a BOGO Sale At most stores, you can use one coupon per purchase. Even though you're buying one item and getting another "free," it's not truly free. You still have to go through the act of "purchasing" it at the register (the store won't allow you to just pick up the "free" jar and take it home, will they?) If you live in an area that collects sales tax on groceries, you must still pay sales tax on the "free" item. So, it's best to think of BOGO sales as buying two for the price of one. As long as you're buying two items, even if one is full-price and one is free, you can use a coupon on each item you're buying. You're buying two items, so you can use two coupons. Here's an example illustrating why this is a great idea. My grocery store has organic pasta sauces on sale for $3, "Buy one, get one free." And even though the register rings them up as $3 for the first jar and $0 for the second, it is still possible for me to present a coupon on each jar for additional savings. For this sale, I have two $1 coupons for the pasta sauce. Using one coupon for each jar I purchase brings my cost down
Accident at dry cleaning plant Harry Robinson III, 35 King St., Warrensburg, suffered a severe injury to his left hand at his family’s business, Warren County Cleaners, dry cleaning and laundry. He has been managing the plant in the absence of his father who suffered a heart attack and is convalescing at home where he is expected to be for quite some time.
Correction on race track details A couple of times in recent weeks past I mentioned the race track that existed around 50 years ago on Horicon Ave. at the west end of the county home fairgrounds. In a recent conversation with former Warrensburg supervisor Maynard D. Baker, I found that this track, than on the property of Malcomb Monroe, was actually a go-kart track. Maynard said that he and his brother, former Thurman supervisor Edwin Baker, were both flagmen at these popular races.The go-kart track was located in a field that was not far from the grave, down by the Schroon River, of an elephant that died many years ago at a circus being held in Warrensburg. I also hear from Bruce Keith on the subject. He has a web site, catamontsstadium.com, which offers details. Bruce says that stock car races and auto thrill shows were held in those days at Asheland Park, the former Warrensburgh Fairgrounds behind Ashe’s Hotel, which is now a housing development. Readers are welcome to contact Adirondack Journal correspondent Jean Hadden at jhadden1@nycap.rr.com or 623-2210. to just $1 for two jars, or 50 cents each! That's a great price for any pasta sauce, especially organic. Now, many grocery stores handle BOGO sales differently. With a sale like the one I outlined above, most stores' registers will ring the sale as one $3 jar and one $0 jar. Other grocery stores may approach the same BOGO sale by ringing up each item at $1.50 each. Either way, you can still use a coupon on each item and get each jar of By Jill Cataldo pasta sauce for 50 cents. Are you ready for a bonus tip? If your store "splits" BOGO prices into half for each item, you only have to buy one of the items to get it for that price! So, if you only had one pasta sauce coupon, you could buy just one jar, get it for the $1.50 price, use a $1 coupon on it, and still take it home for 50 cents. To determine which way your store handles BOGO sales, look at your receipt the next time you buy items promoted in a BOGO sale. If the register rings one at full price and one at zero, you must buy two to receive the price. If it rings each one at half of full price, you will be able to buy just one of the items involved in the sale and receive it for half the price without buying the second item.

APA reclassifies Lows Lake as wilderness, local officials concerned By Jonathan Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com
RAY BROOK — After years of controversy and lawsuits, the effort to reclassify roughly 12,500 acres surrounding and below the waters of Lows Lake has come to an end. In a six-to-four vote, the Adirondack Park Agency Board of Commissioners approved the reclassification Friday of the recently acquired state land — and for the first time in agency history, classified nearly 2,000 acres of lake-bed as wilderness. Some Adirondackers believe the decision represents an unwarranted expansion of the APA’s jurisdiction and a further erosion of landowner rights. Most of the terrestrial property will also now fall under the wilderness designation, while numerous non-conforming structures like bridges and access roads are now considered primitive. While agency staff claims the move — although unprecedented — is an appropriate expansion of zoning regulation, detractors have
called it dangerous and they worry about the future of private ownership of land on lake shores throughout the park. Commissioner Lani Ulrich — who chairs the agency Regulatory Programs Committee — expressed some doubt about the push to classify a man-made lake bed as wilderness while questioning agency Counsel John Banta. ”Can we classify this as wilderness waters event although it’s created by a manmade damn?” Ulrich asked Banta. “We can do this, it’s not in conflict?” Lows Lake exists because of two 100-year old dams and is encircled by numerous roads and private easements. But Commissioner Jim Townsend countered stating that the move is not as precedent-setting as some believe. “The precedent set here is narrow and specific to this location,” Townsend said. Local officials have blasted the move for months, arguing that is nothing short of the agency expanding its own authority. But APA Counsel John Banta said that the State Land Master Plan “invites discussion” about the classification of lake beds. The Lows Lake issue got
especially ugly after a lawsuit was filed by the Adirondack Mountain Club against the APA and the state Department of Environmental Conservation stating that the agency was required to reclassify the land and ban motorized activities in accordance with the SLMP. Due to the suit the agency preempted the reclassification by disallowing floatplane access to the popular bass fishing destination as of January 1, 2012. Several canoeists had claimed that the presence of the float planes was ruining their wilderness experience. The two remaining floatplane operators in the park —Helms Aero Service and Payne’s Floatplanes — have reported that flights to Lows Lake account for around 35 percent of their annual revenue. But for Adirondack Mountain Club Executive Director Neil Woodworth, the reclassification is essential in preserving one of the finest canoe corridors in the country. “APA’s action is a vital step in protecting the wild character of these canoe routes, which offer rare opportunities in the Adirondacks for quiet canoeing and kayaking,” Woodworth said. “This is the proper followup to the agency’s decision to phase out float-plane use

Simple acts of kindness, part 2 A
few weeks ago I wrote a column about simple acts of kindness — about how opening your heart to another can prove an enriching experience that often gets repaid tenfold. I invited readers to submit their own heartwarming stories of kindness. I received quite a few, but here are a sampling of my favorites:
A Christmas miracle Lillian from Warrensburg wrote: When I was a little girl living in Weavertown in the 1930s, we had barely enough money for food. It was the height of the Great Depression and as winter approached we had no idea how we were going to heat our home for the winter. As Christmas neared, we were in a very bad way. My father had been seriously injured working in the woods and my mother had no choice but to tear boards off our chicken coop and the side of our home to burn in the woodstove for heat. A very proud man, my father was not one to ask for handouts, even though there was no way he could provide for me and my three younger brothers. Most days he could barely get out of bed. On Christmas Eve, my elderly next-door neighbor saw me sitting on our porch and asked me what I had asked for for Christmas. I told him all I wanted was for my family to be warm and have something to eat. He said he understood. He was in as bad shape as our family and said he hadn’t had a real meal in days. The next morning when I woke up it was Christmas. We had no presents. Didn't expect them like kids these days.
But when I opened the front door to Reader Feedback help Mom peel some more boards for I plan to continue continue collecting heat, I saw a strange y our stor ies of simple acts of sight in our front kindness and will publish publish a se yard. To my disbelect fe fe w in a future edition of lief, there stood a this paper. paper. Submit your your stor ies huge pile of split online in the comment section firewood. On the f ollo wing m y column at porch was a burlap www.denpubs www.denpubs .com, b y fax fax sack containing a 873-6360 or by e-mail smoked ham. On it johng@denpubs.com. johng@denpubs.com. there was a note that read simply "To Lilli, from Santa." I could never prove it was the old man who did that amazing deed, but the boot tracks through the snow sure looked a lot like his.
A daughter’s selflessness Joe from Whitehall wrote: I have a heartwarming story of my own about something my 5-year-old daughter did this summer. I am in the National Guard and spent the last year in Iraq. When I returned I took my daughter to the Great Escape to enjoy a sun-filled day and then to Martha's Ice Cream as she had been bugging me all day to make a stop there. She ordered and after receiving a cone heavily laden with ice cream, spun and started walking to our car. Before she could take

her first bite, however, she noticed a young soldier in BDU's (camouflage outfit called a Battle Dress Uniform) standing a few people back in line. She immediately marched straight to the young man and offered him her ice cream. “I'd like you to have this and thank you for helping keep my Daddy safe so he could come home to Mommy and me,” she said. I think we were both fighting back tears as my little girl spun and skipped away toward the car.
A guardian angel Kimberly from North Elba wrote: I was returning from college in an old Dodge Dart I had at the time and was traveling a very remote section of Route 8 in near blizzard conditions. Rounding a corner somewhere outside Speculator I lost control and careened down a steep embankment. I was unhurt but the car was completely buried. I had to climb out a window just to get to the road as the doors were jammed shut by snow. I really wasn’t prepared for the elements and had only sneakers and a light coat on as I made my way along the highway toward a house not far away. As I approached, a dog barked fiercely from inside and the porch light snapped on. I was so scared I could barely move but I didn’t know what else to do. From inside, a man’s voice barked “who's there?” I yelled my name and told him my situation. After a long pause I heard the lock click on the door, but instead of opening it the man had locked it tight and I heard him say “get off my property.” I ran back to my car crying and scared. Inside, I locked the doors and covered up with everything I could find. I tried the engine several times until the battery died and then huddled in the dark for what seemed like hours until a light shone though the back window. “Everyone okay in there,” a voice said and I peeked my head out the window to see a rosy-cheeked gentleman with a flashlight. “No,” I said through tears. “I’m stuck and I’m freezing.” “Wait right there,” he said and in a moment I could hear a shovel clicking against the side of the car. Minutes later he helped me out the door and brought me to his plow truck that was idling nearby. He offered me hot coffee from a Thermos and pulled a heavy wool blanket from behind the seat, draping it over my shoulders. Then he put a heavy chain on my car and yanked it out of the snow and, with the help of jumper cables, got my car going. I was so grateful I gave him a big hug and offered him what little money I had. He said he had a daughter about my age and hoped that someone would help her out too if she was ever in a similar situation. I never got the man’s name, so I hope you will print this story in hopes that maybe he sees it and understands what a profound difference he made in my life on that snowy January night. He was my guardian angel. John Gereau is managing editor of Denton Publications. He can be reached via e-mail at johng@denpubs.com.

Primary election, ‘swingers’ presentation The Thurman Town Hall was a busy place Sept. 15 with the primary elections in the older half of the hall and simultaneously in the new half were the routine town board meetings at 6:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. This latter full board meeting included a presentation by “Krazy J,” founder of the Lake George Social Club telling assembled curious townspeople about how their polyamorous or “swingers’ club” members boost the economy and don’t bother anyone, because their activities are behind closed doors at the Bear Pond Lodge. He depicted his club members as ordinary wage earners and professionals that just have different sexual and lifestyle preferences than most other citizens, and they merely want to get together for socializing — and more. Many were accepting of his club members’ freedom to do as they please in private, but I believe many others were silent because they were too polite to express their feelings publicly about the situation. I know one prominent resident said later that their club meetings, since they charge money for their get-togethers, essentially turn the Bear Pond Inn and surroundings into a “red light district,” and it’s wrong. This person and others were alarmed that the swinger club representative received loud applause from those assembled, which bothered those residents, I hear, who still believe in upholding community values. A curtain type divider separated the voting from the town meetings. The Republicans chose between two of the four candidates for a town board seat in the primary election. Results were as follows: Charles Bills -54, Albert Vasak- 69, Glenda Duell-33, and Rebecca Desourdy-35. One write-in vote was for Eileen Baker. Note that Al Vasak and Glenda Duell will be running on an independent line, plus the two winners, Vasak and Bills, on the Republican line.

Cemetery news
SATURDAY September 26, 2009
Lake George Social Club founder ‘Krazy J’ (front) tells townspeople Sept. 15 that what he and fellow club members do behind closed doors at Bear Pond Lodge is their own business, and most of them don’t have sex during their first encounter at their gatherings. Thurman Supervisor Red Pitkin (rear, left) and Jim Ligon (right rear) listen. Several townspeople spoke out in favor of respecting their freedom to do what they want — but others, silent at the meeting, raised objection to the “swingers” lifestyle being condoned in Thurman.

Obama From page 1 the most under-appreciated asset of our educational system: community colleges like Hudson Valley which are so essential to the future of young people and our economy,” he said. He also said he’d be promoting broadband development — and he proposed establishing grants to explore next-generation communication breakthroughs. Obama also said he’d be lobbying for a new emphasis on research nationally, through establishing new tax credits to businesses, or grant programs spurring technological, scientific and medical research. The tax credits would help companies develop new technologies and products. Also, Obama called for eliminating capital gains taxes for investments in small or startup businesses — which often generate new technologies. The President also urged Congress to pass health insurance reform to relieve a burden on small businesses and boost worker security. He also said the government would be ramping up its financial incentives for the health care industries to computerize individuals’ health records, and pursuing its goals of promoting clean energy innovation. “This is a strategy that is essential for our recovery today and our prosperity tomorrow,” he said, stabbing the air with his index finger. “From biotechnology to nanotechnology, from the development of new forms of energy to research into treatments of ancient diseases, there is so much potential to change our world and improve our lives — while creating jobs all across America.” He also praised community colleges for their role in providing a technologically savvy workforce. In particular, he praised HVCC’s TEC-SMART training facility, as “state-of-the art.” It is set to open side-by-side with GlobalFoundries’ multi-billion-dollar semiconductor plant in several years. Such synergies, he said could help lift upstate New York out of its “permanent recession,” he said. Obama’s exhortations, including calling HVCC a “world-class” educational institution, prompted cheers from students viewing the speech in a nearby theater. “I’m absolutely ecstatic that Obama chose our college to announce these initiatives,” said HVCC student Nick Skinner of Corinth. “If he accomplishes his goals, it will be easier for students to get into schools, graduate and get a job afterwards.” His classmate, Steve Caruso of East Greenbush, agreed. “This may open up a lot of new opportunities for students,” he said. When Air Force One touched down at Albany International Airport, greeting him were Congressmen Scott Murphy (D-Glens Falls) and Paul Tonko (D-Amsterdam), followed by Gov. David Paterson and Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings. After his speech, Obama headed off to New York City, with Murphy in his entourage, for an appearance on the David Letterman Show. Hundreds of well-wishers, gawkers, and demonstrators lined the streets leading to the HVCC campus for both his arrival and departure. Dozens of NRA members sported yellow “Don’t Tread on Me” flags, while dozens of elderly in red AARP T-shirts waved placards expressing support for the public option in health care. One of the AARP demonstrators was Kathy Oughton of Ephratah, NY, who jumped up on her toes after seeing the president roll past in his limousine. “I saw him clear as a bell,” she said. “He looked right at me and smiled and waved,” she said in an excited tone. Late afternoon, Murphy Open Seven Days from 11 till Close released a statement on the Presidential visit. “I was proud to hear President Obama speak about upstate New York as a shining example for the rest of the country to follow as we Toppings Additional work to transition into the 21st century economy,” he said.

Hague to host Oktoberfest Keg-tossing among various events By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com HAGUE — A bit of Germany is coming to the North Country and Hague hosts Oktoberfest 2009 on Saturday, Sept. 26. The celebration will be held noon to 6 p.m. in the Hague town park at the intersection of Route 9N and Route 8. Oktoberfest 2009 will feature beer from several local microbreweries, live music, German and other food vendors, a children’s activity tent and festival games for the adults. “Oktoberfest is a wonderful opportunity for people from around the region to discover the exciting things that are going on in this North Country jewel,” Hague Supervisor Dan Belden said. “Aside from the beauty of our lakeside location, this is a community where the generations play together, from the littlest kids to the seniors.” For the adults, the woman who can carry the most full beer steins for 50 yards will be crowned Miss Oktoberfest. She will lead one of the teams in a tug-of-war. The opposing team will be led by the winner of the Keg Tossing Contest, an annual favorite. There will be activities for children including face paint-

ing, pumpkin crafts, sack races, obstacle course and a new Hague Coloring Book created by many well-known North Country artists. There will be live music on the main stage throughout the festivities featuring German Oom-Pah bands, polka music and dancing and North Country bluegrass. There will be a special program for the children at 3:30 p.m. with lumberjacks and whistles. Food vendors will provide great home-cooked German fare and festival foods such as German brats, sauerkraut, German potato salad and Belgian “frites.” Glens Falls-based Davidson Brothers Brewery will be among the participating microbreweries. They will feature their seasonal brews. There will also be a pop-a-shot at the politician of your choice at the dunking booth. The grand finale will be a bluegrass jam featuring many local favorites. The festivities will happen rain or shine under the tents in the Hague Park on the shores of Lake George. Local restaurants will feature Oktoberfest-themed dinner specials on Sept. 26. The Juniper Store and Gallery at Hague Creek will stay open late. The Locust Inn and Hague Motel will feature a weekend discount too. For details, see www.visithague.com/oktoberfest.htm.

Horicon ditches North Warren Emergency Squad By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — The Horicon Town Board has all but fired the North Warren Emergency Squad, citing that the strife in the agency is threatening the health and welfare of townspeople. The town board voted Sept. 17 to advertise for new proposals for emergency medical services for 2010 and beyond, Horicon Supervisor Ralph Bentley said Friday. The town board now pays $49,000 per year to the North Warren Emergency Squad, based in Chestertown, for providing emergency medical services to the town of Horicon’s 1,480 or so residents. The Town of Chester pays about $60,000 annually towards the squad’s operations. The present service contracts with the North Warren Emergency Squad expire Dec. 31. Bentley said the board would not accept new service proposals from the North Warren Emergency Squad unless they remove all paid staff members from their governing board of directors. He said that with paid staff members on the board, the squad leaders were likely making decisions that benefited themselves, rather than the putting the community foremost. He said that four of the squad’s seven board members were paid staffers — including squad President Kevin White. “The squad must reorganize for us to consider them again,” Bentley said. “It’s unethical to be a paid staff member sitting on the board of directors while stifling any member who questions the finances or operations of the squad.” He said the squad leadership had fired several dedicated volunteers who had raised questions about the squad’s finances and operations — including captain Paul Frasco and his wife Patti Frasco — and threatened to fire other squad members who sought information on the squad’s finances or management, or who wanted to discuss concerns with town officials. Contacted at the squad building late Friday afternoon, White said he wouldn’t comment on the allegations over the squad operations or finances. Bentley said the squad board had repeatedly refused to disclose finances to members who asked to see the records. “It’s a dictatorship,” Bentley said, referring to White’s management of the squad. Bentley said White receives about $60,000 per year in pay from the squad, although he is listed as earning $16 per hour — but he assigns himself over-
Obituaries PFC Jeremiah J. Monroe Jan. 4, 1978 - Sept. 17, 2009 BRANT LAKE — PFC Jeremiah J. Monroe, 31, died Thursday, Sept. 17, 2009, while giving the ultimate sacrifice for his country in Afghanistan. Born Jan. 4, 1978, in Glens Falls, he was the son of the late Robert D. Monroe Sr. and Dolores "Peanut" Monroe of Brant Lake. Jerry was well known for his Big Brother mentorship and his close care for the ones he held close. In his free time he loved to draw motorcycles and late model cars. Jerry joined the U.S. Army in early 2008, where he used his skills in construction in the desire to serve his country. Jeremiah enlisted as a combat engineer fully understanding that he would deploy to the global war on terror. He will be remembered as a loving father, son, brother and friend. His family will remember him in the Biblical words he believed, "Blessed are the merciful for they will be shown mercy," Matthew 5:7. Survivors include his mother Dolores "Peanut" Monroe of Brant Lake; one daughter, Delilah Rose Monroe of Brant Lake; one brother, SSG Robert D. Monroe Jr. of Camp Ederly, Italy; his grandmother, Charlotte Lewis of Brant Lake; also many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank the U.S. Army for all their help during these troublesome times. Funeral services with full military honors will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 26, at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, Chestertown. Interment will be at the Underwood Cemetery, Adirondack. Relatives and friends may call from 2 to 4 and 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25, at Barton-McDermott Funeral Home, Inc., 9 Pine St., Chestertown. Memorials in Jeremiah's name maybe made to Wounded Warrior Project, P.O. Box 758517, Topeka, KS 66675-8517.

time, Bentley said. White said Tuesday he would not answer questions about his pay or any other matters. “We have audits being done, and we have to take care of these before we answer any questions,” he said, mentioning that the squad had retained an attorney to help defend themselves in these issues. Recently, the squad let go its medical director, and had its ability to dispense pain-killing drugs revoked by the state. Bentley said that squad members weren’t adequately informed in advance about the lack of ability to carry an inventory of drugs nor use them, and they recently made an emergency medical call to Pottersville, in which a citizen’s life was endangered because of not giving the EMTs prior notice. Paul Frasco said months ago in an interview with the Adirondack Journal that he, as squad captain, had asked for full disclosure of the squad’s finances last year, and that he had questions of whether some squad officials and members were using squad money and assets for their personal use. He also said he had questioned pay, including overtime, that some members of the board of directors were receiving. In addition, he had questioned why the squad had not received a $24,000 state grant they’d qualified for and were promised. Frasco not only didn’t receive the information he was requesting, but he was suspended, then fired, soon after making these inquiries, he said. This spring, Frasco said he has turned over his findings to the state Attorney General’s office and asked for an investigation and audit. They have not to date released their findings. Frasco said he and his wife originally had asked questions regarding finances, specifically why a routine audit had not been conducted for four years, and that Patti, then Secretary of the squad, asked White for financial records and past budgets, but he refused to produce them. “We were concerned about the increase in expenses and the size of the proposed budget for the upcoming year of 2009,” he said. Frasco said. At one point, White had Patti Frasco removed from the squad headquarters by two state Troopers, although she was merely seeking answers to her concerns, Paul Frasco said. He added that one squad staff member had been suspended for 90 days merely for talking with the squad’s medical director. White later produced a record of aggregate personnel
Monroe From page 1 Horicon Supervisor Ralph Bentley said Friday the family members were notified Thursday. The Warren County Board of Supervisors held a moment of silence Sept. 18 in honor of Jeremiah Monroe. Board Chairman Fred Monroe — the two are not related — said the entire county would be grieving for Jeremiah Monroe. “This is very sad news,” he said. “It’s hard to bear the loss of U.S. soldiers in these ongoing conflicts, but it’s especially difficult to lose someone from Warren County.” “The citizens of Warren County are proud of his service,” he continued. Jeremiah Monroe was the son of Delores “Peanut” Monroe and the late Robert Monroe Sr. of Horicon, and the grandson of Albert Monroe, who served for many years as the town Highway Superintendent and then on the town board. Bentley said the family had endured several deep losses recently. Robert Monroe Sr. died of brain cancer in March at the age of 51, and there were two other deaths recently in the extended Monroe family. “They are totally devastated,” Bentley said of Jeremiah’s relatives and friends. “We all are feeling their losses.” Jeremiah Monroe’s brother, Robert Jr., served as a U.S. Army soldier in Iraq for at least one tour, and he is now stationed in Italy, Bentley said. Jeremiah Monroe leaves behind one child, Delilah Rose, 9, who is living in the local area, Bentley said, expressing concern and grief. Relatives said Jeremiah Monroe was last in Brant Lake at the time of his father ’s death. Bentley said the town would likely have some kind of response to Jeremiah’s passing, but that it was too early to have concrete plans. School officials and area community leaders, expressing
records, Frasco said, but these notations did not have a breakdown of payments or hours accrued by individuals. Paul Frasco said that he had concerns that individual members might have used squad credit or debit cards to pay for personal expenses like travel, gasoline, phone bills, groceries and expensive equipment, all of which should not have been charged to the squad. He also said he suspected that squad cell phones were being improperly used for personal calls. Frasco also said he had concerns that cash donations to the squad might not have been properly tracked and accounted for, and that many of them might have been in cash. White dismissed Frasco’s concerns this spring, replying that everything was appropriately accounted for, and any irregularity had been addressed At that time, he discounted Frasco’s allegations as complaints of a disgruntled ex-member. Paul Frasco said, however, he was merely trying to make sure the squad uses local citizens’ money in a responsible, accountable manner — and that the squad provides the highest quality, most prompt service possible, to the public. Frasco also praised the dedication and talents of the vast majority of the members of the squad. Chester Supervisor Fred Monroe said that an independent audit of the squad is being conducted, and the Chester Town Board is not taking any action toward the North Warren Emergency Squad until those audit results materialize. He did say, however, that he felt it was unwise that the squad allow paid staffers to serve on the board of directors. The Horicon Town Board resolution passed Thursday said that the board members were “deeply disturbed” by information from both current and former squad members, and the town board is concerned that the strife in the organization is “endangering the inner strength of this mostly volunteer organization, comprised of dedicated individuals.” The resolution also lends official status to the concerns of people in the community about the use of money by the squad leadership. “The town board feels it can no longer feel secure entrusting the health and welfare of its townspeople to an organization that requests a large amount of tax dollars without justifying how this money is spent, and who is making the major decisions,” the resolution reads. A phone call placed Friday afternoon to Warren County EMS Coordinator Gary Scidmore wasn’t returned as of Tuesday morning.
sorrow, also confirmed they heard the news mid-afternoon Friday. Monroe is the fourth soldier in recent years from the area to die while on duty in the mideast wars. In June 2008, Army National Guard soldier Mark Palmateer, who spent a decade in Wevertown and North Creek in his adult years, died in an ambush that included an improvised explosive device, small arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades. He left behind friends and family members, including a daughter Stephanie. Army Staff Sgt. Kevin Kimmerly of Johnsburg died in September 2003 when a rocket-propelled grenade struck his vehicle in Baghdad, Iraq. In 2004, Nathan Brown of South Glens Falls, an Army private, was killed by a rocket-propelled grenade after it struck an un-armored truck carrying members of his platoon in Samarra, near Baghdad. Monroe’s funeral arrangements are being handled by Barton-McDermott Funeral Home in Chestertown. Jim McDermott said Saturday that the Monroe family members were at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, awaiting the return of Jeremiah’s remains — expected back in Brant Lake on Wednesday. Robert J. Monroe flew back to the U.S. from Italy to be with family members, and is expected to escort Jeremiah’s body back home, McDermott said. “This death has really rocked the entire community,” he said, noting that many people were grieving the Monroe family’s loss because of their deep local roots. Calling hours for Jeremiah Monroe have been set for 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 9 p.m. Friday at the Barton-McDermott Funeral Home, at 9 Pine St. Chestertown. A public funeral service, with full military honors, is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, Riverside Dr., Chestertown. Burial is to follow in Underwood Cemetery, Adirondack. (See a full obituary elsewhere in this issue.)

Burghers blast Whitehall in offensive flurry By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Staging a dramatic rebound from a prior week’s defeat, The Warrensburg High School Varsity Football team put on an offensive show to dominate Whitehall 41-0. The game was the first shutout victory in recent years for the Burghers, raising expectations among fans and coaches for the remainder of the season for top performance from this experienced, talented squad. Red-hot Quarterback Brendan Frye passed for 182 aerial yards and three touchdowns in the game, the third of the season for Warrensburg. Frye showed his versatility Saturday as he also ran for 140 yards. Running back Mike Perrone had a stellar game, tallying 114 rushing yards — as well as grabbing a fumble and returning it 39 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter. Another loose ball resulted in a Burgher score: Adam Langworthy recovered another fumble in the Railroader ’s end zone, adding another six points in the offense-heavy third stanza. The game started out at a slower pace, with Warrensburg scoring one touchdown each in the first two quarters. The first was a toss by Frye to Hunter Werner, and the second was a longer Frye pass to Mike Curtis for a 26-yard gain. The fourth quarter, the Burghers added to the tilted score, with a touchdown run buy Mike Perrone, and a pass by Frye to Nelson

SALEM — The Lake George Varsity Football team dominated Salem Saturday in a 396 victory, erasing the frustrations over a loss the previous week to the larger C-Division Corinth. Tuesday, Warrior Coach Jeff Bennett credited the substantial win not only to a sense of renewed purpose and pride in his players, but some offensive strategy. The team ran a lot of inside trap plays with Alex Liucci carrying the ball, mixed with a good number of outside runs by the Warrior powerhouse Caleb Meroski, Bennett said. “The inside-outside combination worked well for us,” he said. “And defensively, we had a great week of practice, with great focus, and all the guys were going to the right spots.” Also aiding in capturing the win was Quarterback Vinnie Crocitto. He showed his versatility, passing a savvy play-action bul-
let to Corey Yorks for a touchdown, and then a soaring 60-yard throw to Matt McGowan for another crucial completion. In the first half alone, Crocitto garnered over 100 aerial yards. Meroski scored three touchdowns via the ground, one each in the second, third and fourth quarters. His 19 carries yielded 212 yards, even though he’d been benched for the first stanza for missing a practice. With Meroski sidelined, two touchdowns were tallied, one a pass from Crocitto to Corey Yorks, and the other on a Crocitto 16-yard run. One of Liucci’s inside runs, a six-yarder, gained a third-quarter touchdown for the Warriors. Salem’s sole touchdown occurred in the fourth quarter with 10:10 on the clock. Aiding in the victory was some gritty performances by underclassmen stepping into the roles of sick or injured elders. Those showing their talent included Freshman Willy Blunt playing tailback and corner and Sophomore Marty Zivica making some great tackles at corner, Bennett said.
Young Burghers grind out another win SALEM — Warrensburg’s 5th and 6th grade youth football team fought yard-by-yard against a gritty Salem squad to win a matchup Saturday 13 to 6. Initially, the Burghers moved the ball but weren’t able to put points on the board — until the second quarter, when Brandon Schwarz broke through the line with for a 9-yard touchdown run. The extra point conversion was missed due to a bobbled ball, however. Salem answered back, scoring on their next possession. After the Generals failed to convert their extra-point attempt, the Burghers missed an opportunity to score before the half ended at 6-6. The second half began similarly to the first, with the ball going up and down the field exchanging possession, with no scoring until Jacob Nemec stripped the ball from an opponent, and it was recovered by Alex Barber. The forced fumble gave the Burghers their chance and fired up their will. This possession, the Burghers found a way to cross the end zone with a 12-yard touchdown run by Joe Schuster. The Burgher offensive line then opened a huge hole up the middle for Brandon Schwarz to convert an extra-point run. With little time remaining, all the Burghers had to do was stop the Generals. That’s exactly what they did with strong defensive plays by Britney Frasier, Joe Schuster, and Jacob Nemec. The Burghers 3rd and 4th grade team had a bye this week. Coach Mike Irish said Tuesday that his team would enjoy

Kickoff for the 3rd and 4th grade matchup is at 9 a.m. and the 5th and 6th grade game follows afterwards.
“For some wonderful free entertainment, come out and cheer on the little Burghers,” he said. The 3rd and 4th grade kickoff is at 9 a.m. with the 5th and 6th grade game right afterwards.

Course record falls in marathon By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — Dave Herr owns the Adirondack Marathon. The Canaan, Vt., runner won the race for the third straight year Sept. 20, breaking his own course record. Herr was clocked in 2 hours, 35 minutes, 38 seconds for the 26 miles, 385 yards. His old record, set in 2007, was 2:36:55. Along the way around Schroon Lake, he demolished the field. He won by more than 23 minutes — nearly a minute a mile. Blaise Brouchard of New York City was second in 2:58:48. Lisa Schaffer of Hanover, Pa., won the women’s race in 3:26:24. Glen Ashlock of Brooklyn, Mich., won the hand-cycle race in 1:51:47. The 13th annual marathon started on Main Street in Schroon Lake. The single loop course circumnavigates Schroon Lake over challenging forest roads with lakeside views until it finishes back at the Schroon Lake town beach. This was the final year for the course, which will be changed in 2010, according to Joel Friedman, race director. The event also included a half marathon over the second half of the full marathon
course and a two-runner marathon relay. Francois Morin of L’Assomption, Quebec, won the half marathon in a time of 1:25:50. Andrew Lacourciere of Essex Vt., was second in 1:30:28. Nancy Briskie of Schenectady won the women’s race in 1:31:29. In the marathon relay, Chadwick Shepard and Kevin Downing of Williston, Vt., won in 2:52:22. The marathon has been recommended by Runner ’s World magazine as one of “Eight Great Events to Kick Off the Fall Racing Season.” The race was also listed in the book From Fairbanks to Boston, 50 Great U.S. Marathons as one of the top 50 races in the country. Prevention Magazine listed the Schroon race as one of the best “walker-friendly” events in the country. The marathon had 211 finishers, while the half marathon saw 431 runners cross the finish line. Also participating were about 500 volunteers, who manned aid stations along the courses and worked the finish area. Results include: Half Marathon Top Ten 1, Francois Morin, L'Assomption, Quebec, 1:25:50; 2, Andrew Lacourciere, Essex Vt., 1:30:28; 3, Joseph Wagnis, Steep Falls, Me., 1:31:16; 4, Nancy Briskie,

DMV rate hikes looming, hunting fees to rise By Jon Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com ALBANY — State residents who own a motor vehicle or enjoy hunting and fishing should be prepared to pay more. As of Sept. 1, fees associated with driver ’s license renewal were hiked, and more Department of Motor Vehicle increases are on the horizon. Drivers looking to renew their standard eight-year driver ’s license will now pay $64.50, up from $50. Licenses for hunting and fishing are set to increase Oct. 1, as the state attempts to close an expected current-year $2.1 billion budget deficit that has recently been estimated as high as $20 billion. State Budget Office spokesman Matt Anderson said Sept. 1 that there were few options for raising the funds required to operate the state government. “These were a few of the difficult choices required to close a record $20 billion budget deficit,” Anderson said. He said the vehicle registration fees haven’t been increased since 1998, and the driver ’s license fees, since 1992. Anderson said that about $70 million is expected to be raised by the DMV hikes alone by the end of the current budget. The hunting and fishing hikes are expected to raise an additional $16 million.
In the 2009-2010 budget, Gov. David Paterson lobbied for these hikes in DMV and hunting fees as a way to close budget shortfalls. Starting in April, renewing a registration or a obtaining new registration will require the purchase of a new license plate each time, at $25. Further, the cost of registration itself will leap from roughly $40 to $55. “It’s of course related to the difficulties in the economy as well as the problems on Wall Street,” Anderson said. “New York is particularly dependent on Wall Street for its revenues.” Outdoor enthusiast will also face fee increases. As of Oct. 1, big and small game hunters should expect to pay $29 for a general license, up from $19. Also, a Super Sportsman license will now be $88, up from $68, a Sportsman license will now be up $10 to $47 and a Bow-Hunting stamp will be up $5 to $21. Anglers aren’t immune to the hikes. A standard fishing license will now cost $29 – a $10 increase. State and county Republicans are hammering the increases, labeling them simply cloaked tax hikes. Republican Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward said that no attempt was made to cut spending; instead the focus was only on boosting costs to the public.
The 2009-2010 budget includes roughly $4 billion dollars in rate hikes, she said. “The worst part of it is, people don’t realize exactly what it means to them until they get their electric bill, or go to DMV,” Sayward said. “Then they realize how much more this is costing them.” Sayward said that the hikes on sportsman licenses wouldn’t faze her too much if there was a guarantee that the money raised would go back into maintenance and expansion of fisheries and hunting and trapping sites, which she said was unlikely. Sayward said that the Senate and Assembly GOP asked the Governor for a cost/benefit analysis of the many state holdings – including roughly 80 golf courses and some three thousand campsites. Other increases set to take effect over the next several months include hikes in tobacco sales licenses – which becomes active Sept. 20 – while the licensing fees for exterminators have already doubled. GOP county clerks from across the state have teamed up with minority legislators to decry the hikes at recent press conferences. Last spring, all 30 state Senate Republicans voted against the 2009-2010 budget.
