Warrensburg - Adirondack Journal - 3
Richards Library from page 1 proposed, as provided for in state law, to establish a $98,100 tax levy on the r esidents within the W arrensburg School District, which is virtually identical to their service area. A vote on the levy is now set for May , when the W arrensburg school budget goes up for a vote. Although the amount would, if approved, be listed as a separate charge on the school tax bill, it is not a part of the school taxes. It is a separate levy allowed by state law, particularly for private libraries like Richar ds Library, that serve the public. Library of ficials have estimated that this levy would cost 19 cents per thousand of assessed valuation on pr operty owners’ tax bills. This annual levy would stay in place permanently — and the amount would stay the same — until the library decided it needed more and thus would have to go back for another public vote. The Warrensburg Central School District, with about 6,000 r esidents, includes W arrensburg, Thurman, and small portions of bordering towns including Lake Geor ge, Bolton, Stony Creek and Chester. Richards Library boar d vice pr esident Paul Gilchrist said that the 19 cents was “infinitesimal” compar ed to the W arrensburg School District tax rate, yet the pr oposed levy would al low Richar ds Library to not only continue to provide its traditional services, but expand them, while allowing the

board to use the endowment to finish the stalled addition pr oject. he noted that the school budget is $18.8 million of which about $7.8 million is raised thr ough local taxes, which dwarfs the $98,100 the library is asking for. He noted that other town’s libraries enjoy far more generous public support. Richards Library now r eceives $25,000
from the Warrensburg town government, and $2,000 from Thurman. He said these annual municipal stipends would likely cease if the new special levy were enacted. This existing public support is indeed far below the level enjoyed by other ar ea libraries, according to figures prepared by the Southern Adirondack Library System. Richards Library’s public funding r epre-
sents $ 4.48 p er c apita i n Warrensburg a nd Thurman while Bolton Free Library receives $17.68 per r esident, the Lake Geor ge-Caldwell Library r eceives $22.80 per capita, Brant Lake Free Library gets $14.74 per capita, and Chestertown, $19.15 per r esident. The Chestertown Library also gets its utility expenses and facility costs paid by the town taxpayers as well. Sept. 26, library board members asked the Warrensburg school board to hold a vote on the special levy separate fr om the annual school budget vote, so area residents would not link the library levy to the school budget. Gilchrist said r egional library of ficials recommended holding a vote at a separate time and place. “A large number of people turn out to vote No on the schoolbudget because it’s the 800pound gorilla of taxation,” he said. “W e want people to go to vote specifically for the library proposition — we want this issue to fly on its own.” However, the school boar d voted 4-0 to hold it on the school boar d election day in May, citing that there would likely be a better turnout that day. Richards Library Boar d Pr esident Susan Jordan said this week that the institution has for a century provided so much for so many people in the area — and with the uncertain economy, more residents than ever are using the library, particularly for Internet use. “Richards Library is our ar ea communities’ history and our futur e, it provides our archives,” she said. “It’s a vital esource, r and it’s important to have it supported.”

BOCES programs for area students merge to save money By Katherine Clark
Katherine@denpubs.com BOLTON LANDING— Bolton Central School has joined with W arrensburg
and Fort Ann school districts to cr eate an alternative academic pr ogram to r eplace the BOCES Alternative High School that closed last year. The new BOCES program
is located at the Fort Ann Central school. After the closing of the former pr ogram that was housed at the Southern Adirondack Education Center on DixAvenue in Hudson Falls, it was determined that there was still a need for this type of pr ogram for a segment of high school students. The thr ee school districts developed guidelines for the shared alternative academic program for students in grades 9 and 10. The districts will share staff members and the pr ogram cost. The savings of the mer ge will cost

the district about half of what it would have been to send students to the W ashington-Saratoga-WarrenHamilton-Essex BOCES. The districts will also continue to r eceive BOCES aid because the program is coordinated through BOCES. According to a pr ess r elease by the Bolton Central School District, other neighboring high schools have also expressed an interest to be involved in the pr ogram at some point. There ar e curr ently seven students enr olled fr om the Bolton school, but administrators hope to fill the r e-

maining five openings bringing the total enr ollment to the maximum of 12. Alternative pr ogram students l eave t heir c lassroom for science lab, gym, and electives to attend. “We ar e fortunate to live in a region where we are surrounded by competent and collaborative neighboring school districts whose students have similar pr ofiles and needs,” said Bolton Central School Superintendent Ray Ciccarelli. “The Alternative program is but one example of our potential to share ef forts and further support our students.” Ms. Sondra Smith has been hired as a counselor to oversee the pr ogram. Previously, Sm ith was the counselor for the Best Program at WSWHE BOCES last year . She earned a bachelor ’s degree in psychology and reg-
ular and special education in grades 1-9 fr om Nazar eth College. In addition, she holds a m aster ’s d egree i n school counseling from Russell Sage College. Smith said students ar e picked from their home schools to attend this pr ogram. “It’s for students who need extra support or need to get caught up on their credits. Many ar e on track for a Regents diploma, but are mor e successful in a smaller, mor e r elaxed classroom setting. Students may opt to r eturn to their home school once they have caught up on their studies,” Smith said Brooke Raf ferty, a ninth grader fr om W arrensburg said, “It’s a great opportunity to get caught up, thanks to the one-on-one instruction.”

Shared services key to school futures
T
hese are difficult times for school districts. They face unprecedented budget cuts while at the same time feel the pressure to offer better educational opportunities for students. And it’s about to get even tougher. The new state 2 percent tax cap will handcuff schools even more in the 2012-13 academic year. What’s a school administrator to do? The answer may well lie in shared services. The state comptroller ’s office has issued a paper on “Local Government and School Accountability.” The top item in its list of suggested school costsaving measurers is “cooperation and consolidation.” While Ticonderoga and Crown Point school districts have asked the Department of State for an application for grant money to conduct a merger study, it’s unlikely any local schools will be combining in the near future. That leaves cooperation. This fall Crown Point is sending six students to Ticonderoga High School daily to take a physics class. Crown Point will pay Ti for cost of lab materials and incidentals, but the agreement is much less expensive for Crown Point than hiring a physics teacher and setting up a lab. “It’s working out very well,” John McDonald, Ticonderoga superintendent, said. “It’s a good opportunity for these kids to get a class normally not available to them. We’re happy to provide it.” McDonald is also pleased local schools are sharing some transportation costs this year. Moriah shuttles St. Mary’s students from Crown Point to and from the Ticonderoga school daily. Ticonderoga drops off and picks up Crown Point’s CV-Tech Mineville students on their way by twice a day. “Our efforts to share services as we can speaks to the ways all our districts
October 8, 2011
are doing their best to make opportunities for students available within limited budget constraints,” Shari Brannock, Crown Point superintendent, said. Shared services is nothing new for many scholastic athletic teams. Minerva-Newcomb and Indian Lake-Long Lake have fielded combined sports teams for several years. Moiah, Westport, Keene and Elizabethtown-Lewis have had joint track and swimming teams. Saranac, Peru and Seton Catholic share a hockey team. And there are opportunities for other shared services, such as joining forces with local colleges. Crown Point and other area districts participate with North Country Community College and Paul Smith’s College to offer classes that simultaneously garner high school and college credit. The classes are taught at local schools by local teachers with the approval of NCCC and Paul Smith’s. The NCCC and Paul Smith’s classes include English composition I and II, creative writing, Adirondack history, psychology, American history I and II, integrated algebra, statistics, financial accounting, and introduction to nutrition. Schroon Lake Central School has similar arrangements with SUNY-Albany and Adirondack Community College. School district administrators need to take a close look at their neighbors with an eye toward sharing even more services — services that ultimately benefit students and taxpayers.
This editorial is the collaborative opinion of a board comprised of Thom Randall, Fred Herbst, Lou V arricchio, Keith Lobdell, Jeremiah Papineau, Andy Flynn and John Gereau. Comments may be directed to denpubs@denpubs.com.

He also had a shop at one time on the corner of Main Str eet and Adirondack Avenue, a little building called Trilby Cottage on the lawn in fr ont of today’s Rite Aid pharmacy. Manzer conducted a barber shop in Warrensburgh for 52 years before he retired in 1938. He married Eva Knickerbocker in 1898 at the Methodist parsonage. Just one hundr ed years ago, September , 1911, Manzer bought E.A. Moore’s residence property on Upper Main Str eet and moved in as soon as many necessary r epairs wer e made and the tenant, Philo Reynolds had moved his family out and into Selah Reynolds’ house on King Street Addition. Kid Manzer in his later years was a steady golf player at the Queen Village Club course where he won several trophies. He was also a loyal and steadfast member of the Odd Fellows’ Lodge. Kid was 85 years old when he died in Mar ch of 1958 at the home of his nephew in Essex Junction, V ermont and he was buried here on the new west side of the Warrensburgh Cemetery. In honor of Kid Manzer and the other eager Bear W aller hunters who took such delight in pursuing fleet footed deer at the turn of the century, there will be a special exhibit at the Warrensburgh Museum of Local History starting on Sunday , Oct. 16, 201 1 with Photo of the albino deer, shot in 1907 many gr eat photos and artifacts fr om that
era, centered around hunting and the club.
Barber shop debate
The current topic of discussion among the customers and those who just like to hang out at Kid Manzers barber shop is quite a brain twister. The heavy question being debated concerns an old man of fifty and a young man of twenty-eight, both widowers. The young man has a step-daughter of thirty-eight years old that he married to the older gentleman and in r eturn takes the old man’s daughter for a wife. The question is, what r elation ar e these four people to each other? Ther e ar e many opinions but an answer has not as of yet been satisfactory decided upon.
Odd Fellows crack down on vice
Hotel-keepers holding saloon licenses are barred fr om the Odd Fellows’ or der by action taken at the meeting of the Sover eign Grand Lodge in session in Indianapolis in October, 191 1. Saloon keepers have been barred for some time. The new order affecting hotel men applies only to the future applicants for membership. A r esolution was also adopted pr ohibiting smoking in the lodge rooms during sessions.

Attendant Miss Sarah Bowyer, sister of the bride, was gowned in white voile. Louis Potter was best man. After an automobile trip thr ough the Adirondacks, the couple will re side in Chestertown. In other news, James Riley of Hudson Falls and Miss Jennie Russell, daughter of M. Russell of Lake Geor ge, wer e married Oct. 25, 1911 at the Baptist Chur ch in Glens Falls.

In support of Ralph Bentley
To Adirondack Journal: As a r esident of Horicon, I believe some of the many accomplishments supervisor Ralph Bentley has made during his reign should be noted. Under has watch Ralph dire cted the Planning Board to create a Compr ehensive Plan for Horicon. Under the Chairman’s guidance we r eceived a grant to hir e a pr ofessional Planner and a local design engineering gr oup. After thr ee years of effort the Plan was completed and sent to the APA, who approved it. Now we are slowly melding the aspects of the CPinto our current regulations and considering the r ecommended site design for the centers of our two hamlets, Adirondack and Brant Lake. Ralph has r ecognized that Brant Lake is the Town's most valuable asset and has partner ed with our local neighborhood associations to control the invasive weed, Eurasion Water Milfoil. Although it took more than a decade, this Summer that goal was met. Just recently, Ralph sponsor ed a bill thr ough the Warren County Board of Supervisors to make it illegal to transport any invasive species fr om any lake in the County . This has now become the law. Hopefully, Albany’s legislators will adopt the same law for all of NYS. Congratulations to Ralph and the County’s Board of Supervisors for leading the way to have clean lakes throughout the entire Adirondacks. R. Douglas Paton Horicon

County proposes widening West Brook Road, adding paid parking By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Before next summer, as many as 110 more parking spaces may be constructed along West Brook Road, a parklike b oulevard w ith se parated, l andscaped one-way lanes that straddle W est Br ook at the southern end of the lake. According to a concept endorsed Sept. 27 by Warren County Supervisors, the northbound lane would be closed of f to thr ough traffic and converted to a municipal parking lot to add 55 metered parking spaces. A second option is similar, but calls for widening the parking ar ea on the lane by 18 feet into the north parcel of the West Brook Environmental park to double the parking spaces. Under both proposals, the existing southbound lan e of W est Br ook Road would be converted to two-way. Presently ther e is fr ee parallel parking along some str etches of the two one-way lanes. The unanimous vote Sept. 27 of the county P ublic Works C ommittee i s s ubject t o a vote Oct. 21 by the full county Boar d of Supervisors. The pr oposal is also contingent upon a legal r eview of land ownership and easements. County supervisors have been seeking to raise revenue to offset maintenance costs of West Brook Environmental Park, which is to
West Brook Road at the southern end of Lake G eorge, now a boulevard with two one-way lanes straddling a stream, may be reconfigured before next summer under a plan endorsed b y Warren County Supervisors Sept. 27. The county leaders voted to make the southbound lane two-way and close off the northern northbound lane to through traffic and reconstruct it as a parking lot. Photo by Thom Randall
include constr ucted wetlands, walkways and natural r ecreational features as well as a 2.5-acre festival area operated by the county government. They also aim to add parking for those attending events on the festival gr ounds, the former site of the amusement park Gaslight Village. County Public Works Superintendent Jef f Tennyson estimated that adding 55 spaces would cost $30,000 to constr uct, and the kiosk-type meters for the spaces would cost
$50,000. He estimated the spaces would generate $50,000 annually in r evenue — based on Lake Geor ge V illage’s experience with metered parking — so the construction costs would be recovered in less than two years. The second option, which would cr eate 110 or so parking spaces, would cost $210,000 or so, but would likely double the annual revenue. Some supervisors suggested the county proceed with the first option, and develop the extra spaces in the years to
come when money could be budgeted for it. But Chester Supervisor Fr ed Monr oe r esponded that the county should borrow the money to build the extra spaces soon, and the parking revenue would more than cover the loan payments. Waiting to develop parking, he said, would mean lost revenue in the meantime. The county plans for parking appar ently conflict with the town of Lake George's objective of developing paid parking along West Brook Road. They have already passed a resolution to designate parking spaces and install meters. They own 75 per cent of the northbound lane and all of the southbound lane, so they’d theoretically be r eceiving the money from parking on their lands. The county proposals are contingent on a legal review of whether the town and village governments ar e entitled to the r evenue, rather than the county. The county supervisors said they were unwilling to spend money on developing paid parking unless the county government would receive the revenue. Lake Geor ge Supervisor Frank McCoy said that his first priority was looking out after the interests of his town taxpayers. He said he is looking forward to cooperating with the county on the parking issue, but not at the expense of his constituents.

Members of the State Benefits Summit and the National Volunteer Fire Council pose for a group photograph in the Lake George fire station after a dinner hosted Sept. 27 by local firefighters.
National firefighter groups enjoy conventions in Lake George thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Two national or ganizations of volunteer firefighters held conferences in Lake Geor ge last week, and members of the gr oups said Lake Geor ge was their top choice nationally as a site for such gatherings. Convening were members of the national State Benefits Summit and the National Volunteer Fire Council. Both met to discuss issues of funding, volunteer recruitment and retention, legislative developments, and other issues facing volunteer fire service. Hosting the two conferences from Sept. 24 through Oct. 1 wer e the Fir emen’s Association of the State of New York (FASNY) and the Lake George Volunteer Fire Department. The week’s meetings and events were centered at the Fort William Henry Resort.
FASNY President David Jacobowitz said he was pleased to host the two conferences in Lake Geor ge that wer e attended by well over 120 volunteer firefighter officials. "By sharing solutions to common concerns, we continually push fir e service in a positive direction,” he said. The national fire council’s board meeting drew fir e of ficials r epresenting mo re th an half of the 49 states of the continental U.S. The gr oups enjoyed cr uises, sightseeing and a dinner hosted by the Lake Georg e firefighters at their fire hall, Jacobowitz said. “We ar e happy to host meetings in Lake George, because the local fire department is so accommodating,” Jacobowitz said. “This is the Lake Tahoe of the eastern U.S.” One of the r easons Lake George was chosen over other sites nationally , Jacobowitz said, was that Lake George is family oriented — with no gambling. “Firefighting officials bring their families
and turn these conferences into a vacation,” he said. Lake Geor ge Volunteer Fir e Department Secretary Barbara McGuirk said local fir efighters wer e happy to host a mass dinner Sept. 27 at their fir e station. Brian Engle of Warrensburg was the head chef for the roast beef dinner, she said. Enjoying a hospitality session at Fort William Henry Sept. 27, Mark McNees ofAtlantic, Iowa said he pr eferred Lake Geor ge to Lake Tahoe, a previous convention site. “Lake George is less commercialized, and it’s far friendlier,” he said. “It’s a tourist destination, but it doesn’t seem ‘touristy.’” A fellow fire official, John Heideman, seconded the point. He said he particularly enjoyed the cruise on Lake George narrated by in engaging detail by Lake Geor ge Fire Department president Tom McKinney. “It’s beautiful, very serene here,” he said.
Enjoying a cruise on Lake George Sept. 29 — a featured event of two national fire conventions held locally this week — are (left to right): Lake George Fire Dept. President Tom McKinney of Lake George and his wife Kim, lake G eorge Fire Dept. S ecretary Barbara McGuirk, and FASNY Director Brian M cQueen and his wife Sarah.

BOLTON — A multi-year project to protect the upstr eam waters of Indian Br ook was completed recently by the Lake Georg e Association. The project is located at the intersection of Federal Hill and Sawmill roads in the town of Bolton. Over a number of years, a small section of Indian Brook started to collect sediment in an area that was once a swimming hole. Eventually the swimming hole completely filled in, and non-wetland vegetation became established. W ithout the swimming hole to slow the water ’s speed, the br ook started to carry mor e sediment downstream and into Lake George, contributing to a delta at the mouth of the brook. In 2009, the LGA cleaned out the swimming hole. About 500 cubic yards of material wer e r emoved. In spring 2010, native shrubs were planted along the bank to filter storm r unoff. The former swimming hole is now functioning as a sediment basin, allowing sediment that is carried during high flow periods to swirl ar ound and drop out of the str eam. The sediment remains in the basin and does not flow down to the lake. This summer, the LGA completed construction of a second sediment basin, a little further upstream from the original. LGA Pr oject Manager Randy Rath said the objective was to create a basin that captures and settles out suspended material during storm events, plus to enhance an existing wetland ar ea and use the natural process of wetland plants in removing nutrients, by planting native vegetation. Initially the wetlands wer e separated from the flow of the str eam by sand bags and a straw bale dike. Fortunately the dike was not opened untilafter storm Irene, and even though water overflowed the dike during the storm, the basin and wetlands remained intact, and continue to function as designed.

N AT I O N A L breast cancer awareness M O NT H
These sponsors proudly support National Breast Cancer Awareness Month:
About Breast Cancer... Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States, aside from skin cancer. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), an estimated 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed among women in the United States this year.Today, there are about 2.5 million breast cancer survivors living in the United States. If you’re worried about developing breast cancer, or if you know someone who has been diagnosed with the disease, one way to deal with your concerns is to get as much information as possible. In this section you’ll find important background information about what breast cancer is and how it develops.
Signs and Symptoms Although widespread use of screening mammograms has increased the number of breast cancers found before they cause any symptoms, some breast cancers are not found by mammograms, either because the test was not done or because even under ideal conditions mammograms do not find every breast cancer. The most common sign of breast cancer is a new lump or mass. A mass that is painless, hard, and has irregular edges is more likely to be cancerous, but breast cancers can be tender, soft, or rounded. For this reason, it is important that any new mass, lump, or breast change is checked by a health care professional with experience in diagnosing breast diseases.
Other possible signs of breast cancer include: • swelling of all or part of a breast (even if no distinct lump is felt) • skin irritation or dimpling • breast or nipple pain • nipple retraction (turning inward) • redness, scaliness, or thickening of the nipple or breast skin • a nipple discharge other than breast milk Sometimes a breast cancer can spread to underarm lymph nodes and cause a lump or swelling there, even before the original tumor in the breast tissue is large enough to be felt. Swollen lymph nodes should also be reported to your doctor
The importance of finding breast cancer early Most doctors feel that early detection tests for breast cancer save many thousands of lives each year, and that many more lives could be saved if even more women and their health care providers took advantage of these tests. Following the American Cancer Society’s guidelines for the early detection of breast cancer improves the chances that breast cancer can be diagnosed at an early stage and treated successfully. To schedule your mammogram at The Breast Center at Glens Falls Hospital, please call (518) 926-5333. To schedule your mammogram at The Greenwich Regional Medical Center, please call (518) 926-4945.

N AT I O N A L breast cancer awareness M O N T H Breast Cancer Q & A These sponsors proudly support National Breast Cancer Awareness Month:
Q: What is advanced breast cancer?
Provided by National Breast Cancer AwarenessM onth Q: What is cancer? A:Cancer is a disease that occurs when cells become abnormal and divide without control or order. Each organ in the body is made up of various kinds of cells. Cells normally divide in an orderly way to produce more cells only when they are needed. This process helps keep the body healthy. If cells divide when new cells are not needed, they form too much tissue. This extra tissue, called a tumor, can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors are not cancer. Eighty percent of all breast tumors are benign. They can usually be removed, and, in most cases, they don’t come back. Most important, the cells in benign tumors do not invade other tissues and do not spread to other parts of the body. Benign breast tumors are not life-threatening. Malignant tumors are cancer. The cancer cells grow and divide out of control, invading and damaging nearby tissues and organs. Cancer cells can also break away from the original tumor and enter the bloodstream or lymphatic system. This is how breast cancer spreads and forms secondary tumors in other parts of the body. This spread of cancer is called metastasis. Q: What is breast cancer? A:Breast cancer is cancer that forms in tissues of the breast, usually the ducts (tubes that carry milk to the nipple) and lobules (glands that make milk). It occurs in both men and women, although male breast cancer is rare. Q: How common is breast cancer in the United States? A:Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, aside from skin cancer.
A:Breast cancer is considered advanced when it has spread from its original site to distant areas of the body. Physicians will look at a number of factors to determine the stage of breast cancer, including tumor size, lymph node involvement, and whether the cancer has spread to other areas of the body. Once the stage of the disease is determined, there are two different ways advanced breast cancer can be classified: locally advanced or metastatic. Q: What is locally advanced breast cancer? A:The term locally advanced breast cancer indicates that the cancer is large (greater than 2 inches) or may have spread to other nearby tissue, such as underarm lymph nodes. Locally advanced breast cancer is considered Stage III, and if it is operable, it is referred to as Stage IIIA. Q: What is metastatic breast cancer? A:The term metastatic breast cancer indicates that the cancer has spread from the breast to other parts of the body such as bone, lung, liver, or brain.
Treatmentsf or Breast Cancer Q: What are the treatments for breast cancer? A:The basic treatment choices for breast cancer are surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and hormonal therapy, which may or may not be included in the treatment regimen, depending on hormonal involvement in the growth of the tumor. Local treatments such as breast surgery and radiation therapy are focused on the breast itself to remove or destroy the cancer cells confined to the breast. Systemic treatment such as chemotherapy aims to destroy the cancer cells that may have spread throughout the body.
69183
Newer experimental treatments include biologically targeted therapies which currently, are only available through clinical trials. A patient and his/her physician will choose the treatment that is right for him/her, based on the location and extent of the cancer, patient’s age and preferences, and the risks and benefits of each treatment. Surgery may be performed to remove the cancerous tumor, and may also be performed to allow for diagnostic testing of tumort issue. Radiation therapy uses penetrating beams of high-energy waves or streams of particles to kill and hinder the growth of cancer cells. In metastatic disease, radiation is most commonly used to treat symptoms in breast cancer that has spread to the bone. Chemotherapy may be used if it is believed the breast cancer will not respond to hormonal treatment. Chemotherapy is the use of drugs that target and destroy rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells. It is frequently used in metastatic breast cancer and used in locally advanced breast cancer to shrink the tumor and make it operable. Hormonal therapy can be used to slow the growth, spread, and recurrence of breast cancer. If the cancer is found to be of the type that may be sensitive to estrogen, hormonal treatment may be able to keep estrogen from helping the cancer cells to grow and divide. The presence of estrogen receptors (a message-carrying protein that may stimulate tumor growth) in the cancerous tumor is the best way to predict a woman’s response to hormonal treatment.

The U.S. Surgeon General has recently reported that you can help prevent many health problems by engaging in a moderate amount of physical activity (such as taking a brisk, 30-minute walk) on most days of the week. Strive to maintain the body weight recommended by a health professional, since excess fat may stimulate estrogen production. Don’t smoke. Although smoking doesn’t cause breast cancer, it can increase the chance of blood clots, heart disease, and other cancers that may spread to the breast.

Almost 2,000 boats form giant raft in Inlet
Photo copyright Nancie Battaglia
INLET — A giant mosaic of 1,925 canoes and kayaks filled a corner of Fourth Lake of f the shore of the central Adirondack town of Inlet on Satur day, Sept. 24. The boats vied against Pittsbur gh, Pa. for the Guinness Book of W orld Recor ds title as W orld’s Largest Floating Raft. Inlet has almost 400 residents; Pittsburgh has 350,000. While the Guinness W orld Record title determination will not be made for months, the Adirondack raft’s boat count was far beyond the lar ger Pennsylvania city’s 1,619 boats. David beat Goliath handily. “When t he t iny t own o f I nlet d ecides t o win, we do it in a big way,” said Connie Perry, or ganizer of One Squar e Mile of Hope, the raft-building event that hosted over 2,200 paddlers in solo and tandem boats from 14 states and Canada. “We had two

goals: to raise funds for Susan G. Komen for the Cure’s breast cancer research,” she said, “and to grab back the Guinness W orld Record we held thr ee years ago.” In 2008, Inlet won the title with 1,104 boats. The rules for the Guinness competition ar e very detailed and include more than just the number of boats. Adele Burnett, Director of Inlet’s Information Office, said that the boat count was verified by a simple system that entailed each paddler receiving a numbered sticker befor e entering the designated raft area. “We immediately knew there were at least 1,925 boats in the raft,” Burnett said. “So we know for certain that we had far more boats in our raft than Pittsburgh had.” The aerial photos and video will be r eviewed by Guinness and an official determination will be made later next spring.

Rail fair announced at North Creek museum NORTH CREEK — The Depot Museum's first Rail Fair is scheduledOct. 15 and 16. Vendors and artifacts fr om D&H's history will be on hand for visitors to enjoy. The Saratoga-North Cr eek Railroad will offer half-price tickets during the event. Museum Director Ray Flanigan said D&H will send up railr oad artifacts that haven't been publicly displayed
before, giving visitors a unique opportunity. The railway's engine house, where trains are serviced, will be open for tours. SNCRR will have demonstrations of the turntable, which Museum Director Ray Flanigan said is itself an artifact of early rail. The turntable's been around so long that it began as a man-power ed machine. It was r etrofitted with a motor for electric power instead, but all the
machinery still works the way it did before electric cables wer e str ung all around the country. There’s also an old milk car at the depot that Flanigan thinks is the last D&H milk car in existence. The interior is not original, but he's hoping they can incorporate the r elic into their tours. There will also be a bus offered, for a fee, to visit Railr oads on Parade in Pottersville.

DMV clerks oppose eliminating vision tests for license renewals QUEENSBURY — On Monday , Sept. 26, the New York State DMV announced with no prior notice to the community that, eff ective Sept. 28, it was eliminating the curr ent vision test and medical certification r equirement for driver ’s license r enewals that ar e processed in local DMV offices, by mail and online. The original purpose of the vision test and medical certification was to ensure that driv-
ers met the appropriate vision requirements in or der to safely operate a motor vehicle. With this new policy , drivers need only to personally certify that they meet the minimum 20/40 vision requirements. County clerks fr om acr oss the state ar e calling upon the State DMV to immediately reverse their decision to ensure the safety of drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. According to W arren County Clerk Pam
Vogel, whose of fice administers the W arren County Department of Motor Vehicles on behalf of the Commissioner, the eye exam performed in the county office is a simple yet important step in the r enewal pr ocess and has many times alerted the customer to a vision problem. The elimination of the vision test on a license renewal, under the guise of customer service, is a terribly misguided decision on
the part of the New York State DMV . The ramifications of this action — one that impacts both public and personal safety — are broad and disturbing. It is anticipated that a formal statement of opposition will be issued by the New York State Association of County Clerks. Many state legislators, law enfor cement, and eye care professionals are likewise examining this issue.

By securing over 1,500 members, WW ARC receives an additional r epresentative to serve on NYSARC’s boar d of governors. So far out of the 49 chapters of NYSARC Inc., WWARC has presented the greatest increase in membership throughout the state. “The families we serve, our board of directors and staff are delighted by the result of our 2011 campaign,” said John Von
Ahn, executive director. “Our community has demonstrated its commitment to incr easing society-wide acceptance of children and adults with differing abilities. Our strength in numbers enables us to pr ovide gr eater advocacy on local, state, and national levels. ” Increase in community membership comes at an exciting time for WWARC. The agency has r ecently purchased and acquired the former Kadant Building located at 436 Quaker Road to house their home of fices. A new five-bedr oom respite center, located at 3 Ogden Road in Queensbury, will be opening its doors to the community in upcoming weeks.

Thurman budget from page 1
Thurman Town B oard m embers Leon G alusha a nd R ebecca H itchcock s crutinize b udget f igures a t t he town’s special budget meeting Oct. 3.
curbside municipal trash pickup, and cutting the town r ecreation pr ogram fr om six weeks to four. The boar d, however, called for r estoring the suggested cuts. Town board members Al Vasak, L eon G alusha a nd R ebecca H itchcock expr essed support for continuing the curbside collection after hearing that privatizing or discontinuing the service would mean both a far higher annual cost per household, plus it would likely pr ompt many to illegally dump trash around town. “You’ll see garbage by the r oad and tires floating down the river,” Vasak said. Wood praised Town Bookkeeper Lester Losaw for volunteering to take a 3 per cent pay cut, r educing his annual earnings to $32,240. The board considered cutting it by 2 more percent, but backed off after reviewing how he had straightened out the town books after he took office, that he’d worked through his vacation this year, and that his work was vital in preparing the FEMA disaster aid applications. “He was there when we needed him, and we still need him — it’s not right to ask him to take more of a cut,” Hitchcock said. Austerity measures in the budget include cutting the hours at the town constr uction and demolition landfill to half-days Satur-
day and Sunday, year-round. The board discussed potential cuts to the local Meals on Wheels and senior bus transportation programs, but didn’t ax them. The $1.43 million tentative budget calls for about $610,000 to be raised by taxes, and an estimated tax rate of about $3.84 per 1,000 of assessed valuation, up fr om about $3.32 per 1,000 in 2011. In pr esenting the budget, W ood noted that the town is faced with a 31 percent increase in employees’ retirement costs, and a 20 percent increase in health care premiums. Also, the town has suffered an estimated $7 million in damages fr om the Memorial Day weekend flash floods that tor e out bridges and culverts, ripped up r oadways, and turned many of them into raging rivers. Most all the town’s r oads wer e sever ely damaged in the flooding. Just months later , the town endur ed an additional $1 million in damages due to Tropical Storm Irene. The town has been lobbying for federal disaster aid compensation for the May washouts, but to date has not r eceived financial help. A portion of the damages due to Irene, however, may be compensated. In the meantime, many of the roadways have only had temporary r epairs, due to lack of available funds. The 2012 budget calls for no incr ease in allocation for highway appropriations.
