Candidates sparring for town offices
Release balloons in remembrance of Monroe By Lindsay Yandon lindsay@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — Under rainy skies Saturday evening, friends and family of local fallen soldier Pfc. Jeremiah Monroe gathered in his honor at the Panther Mountain House, sharing both grief and pleasant memories of bygone days. The family of Monroe organized a balloon release to pay tribute to the local hero's sacrifice, and to remember his character and the affect he had on all of their lives. “It’s been just over a month since we lost Jeremiah and we wanted to do this in remembrance of him,” said Monroe’s cousin Nikki Monroe. When living at home, Monroe frequented the Panther Mountain House, making it the logical place for people to gather. “This was his spot,” remarked a friend of Monroe’s at Saturday’s event. Jeremiah Monroe, 31, was killed Sept. 17 while on patrol duty in Kandahar, Afghanistan. He had attended North Warren Central School and was laid to rest on Sept. 29 at Underwood Cemetery in Adirondack after a funeral procession — 300 vehicles long — from St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, Chestertown. Hundreds of people from near and far had stood roadside in his memory — to pay solemn tribute to the first local soldier who had been killed in combat since the Korean War.

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — With the backdrop of looming county deficits, stretched budgets and a clash of political philosophies, the upcoming general elections in Warren County are lively this year, as a large number of posi-
tions in town governments are contended. Competition is most heated in Lake George, where the supervisor post is up for grabs and five candidates are vying for two Town Board seats. Councilman Frank McCoy, trained and anointed by retiring Supervisor Lou Tessier, is facing former town Su-
pervisor Dennis L. Dickinson (D), a professional engineer. Crocitto (R,Ic), councilman since 2002, is challenged by former Town Board member George McGowan (C), Fran Heinrich (R), Janie Green (D) and Marisa Muratori, a former Lake George village trustee who is temporarily

Thurman town taxes to plunge 28 percent, while town retains cash cushion By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com ATHOL — Taxpayers in Thurman will be experiencing a dramatic decrease in town taxes this January due to new prevailing financial management, town government officials said Tuesday. According to a 2010 preliminary town budget crafted Oct. 20, Thurman taxpayers are likely to have a 2010 tax rate of $3.34 per thousand of assessed valuation, a 28.3 percent reduction of the 2009 tax rate of $4.66 per thousand. The 2010 total of the highway and general fund appropriations minus revenues and unexpended fund balance leaves $515,960 to

be raised by taxes, rather than the $709,540 sum in 2009, or a similar 27.3 percent reduction. A recent state audit criticized the town government for routinely underestimating revenues and overstating expenses over the past several years, and sticking the excess money — about $900,000 — in the bank rather than reducing the tax rate for the taxpayers or putting it in a designated capital reserve fund. Town board members said Monday that the town’s former top official, John Haskell, who had served as budget officer, had for years not provided clear, comprehensive budgets, and they had no idea the town had been stashing excess cash that belonged to

increase, but carved it down in mid-November to a 25 percent increase, which in retrospect was a totally unnecessary hike. When asked earlier this year about the excess money in town coffers, Haskell countered that the budget troubles began after he left office in November, 2008. Lawrence “Red” Pitkin, who was chosen as supervisor after Haskell resigned, said the board has taken steps to balance the budget and reduce taxes. He said the town had taken an unexpended 2008 balance and applied it to lower taxes. Of the town’s $540,000 in surplus funds, the board recently withdrew about $175,000

taxpayers. In February, the state Comptroller found about $600,000 that town board members said they didn’t know existed. Board members Charles Bills and James Ligon — who were in office in late 2008 — said that Haskell’s budget numbers routinely didn’t make sense. “When I got on the board, there was no real record-keeping that added up,” Ligon said. “There were numbers crossed out and penciled in — The budget process was very secretive, and it was all but impossible to get information, and what you got was unbelievable.” A year ago, the board had wrestled with a tentative budget that called for a 62 percent

SATURDAY October 31, 2009
Forester to describe logging in bygone era WARRENSBURG — On Thursday, Nov. 5, retired Finch Pruyn forester and historian Dick Nason will deliver his ever-popular talk on "Old Adirondack Logging” in Warrensburg. Sponsored by the Warrensburgh Historical Society, the event — complete with vintage movies, slides and photographs — will take place at 7 p.m. at the Masonic Hall, 3893 Main Street. Because he was actively involved in the realm of logging during his long career with Finch Pruyn Paper Co., Nason speaks from personal experience. Using slides and early black and white and color movies, his lively talk captivates both young and old, Historical Society representative Steve Parisi said. There will be time for questions and personal remembrances following the talk. All are welcome to this free presentation. Light refreshments will be offered. The Masonic Hall is handicap accessible. For additional information, contact Society secretary Rita Ferraro, at 623-2213.
Retired forester Dick Nason talks to a group recently about historic practices of logging in the Adirondacks. His projection equipment (foreground), which includes a vintage 8mm film projector, adds some nostalgia to his presentations.
My family has resided in Lake George for four generations and I want to continue my family’s tradition of service to our community. Having been involved with Lake George town government for the past nineteen years (the last eight as councilman), I feel that I am the most prepared and best qualified candidate to become your next town supervisor. I pledge to keep taxes low and make Lake George affordable for all.

Correction:
Monroe From page 1 Saturday’s memorial balloon ceremony was primarily somber, but those who gathered stressed that the event was to show their love, to raise their glasses and to celebrate the life of Pfc. Monroe. As the sky darkened, the crowd gathered outside with balloons in hand to honor their friend. To each balloon, they attached cards reading, “In memory of Jeremiah ‘Miah’ Monroe.” Personal photos and notes were also added before the release. Guests of honor included Pfc. Monroe’s mother Delores Monroe and his daughter Delilah Rose. They released special bouquets of balloons that drifted upwards and disappeared into the neardark evening sky. “We hope to continue this evening as an annual benefit to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project as well as other organizations,” Nikki Monroe said. Loved ones of Pfc. Monroe are inspired to not only honor him, they are dedicated to the continued support of all soldiers and their families, she said.
In a recent article, it was stated that Jeremiah Monroe of Brant Lake was the first local soldier to be killed in action since World War II. Adirondack Journal reader James Durose of Brant Lake, a Korean War veteran, called up this week and offered a correction. Durose said that at least two people were killed in the Korean War, including Duane Barlow and Harry Lineman.
Pfc. Jeremiah Monroe’s mother Delores ‘Peanut’ Monroe and his 9-year-old daughter Delilah Rose wait Saturday evening to release their balloons into the sky in remembrance of Jeremiah’s loving, thoughtful spirit and his sacrifice for his country. Dozens gathered — releasing balloons, many with notes and photos attached — for this memorial ceremony held in his honor at the Panther Mountain House in Chestertown.

You can tell by reading the newspaper that generations have changed. “Farmers say cash needed quick” and in today’s world, this means help from the government. In past generations, people were too proud to ask for help. They felt like they had to earn their own way. In reading a diary or journal from the early 1930s, our neighbors were getting together with shovels, pick-axes, and hand- or two-man saws to start building a road between the homes — and yes, that road still exists and is still a dirt road, maintained by the town. These men and boys didn’t ask for help, but if anyone saw them struggling with this mile of hand digging, they would usually volunteer to help out, and believe it or not this was not done for pay. Isn’t that wonderful? Correction for last week: Hunting season is not a good time for the kids to be in the woods looking for pretty leaves.

Oppitz withdraws from Thurman election By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com THURMAN — What was a wide-open three-way race just days ago for town supervisor in Thurman became a two-way race Friday night as Democratic challenger Randall Oppitz (D,C) dropped out of the race due to his career involvement. Oppitz' departure from the race leaves incumbent Lawrence "Red" Pitkin (Ic., I) to be challenged in November solely by long-time assessor Republican Thomas “Tuck” Birdsall. Oppitz sent the following letter Friday to the Adirondack Journal explaining his action while expressing his views on Thurman politics: "I want to thank all of my supporters for their endorsements. However, it is with great sadness that I am announcing that I must withdraw.” He said he had written a book about energy medicine and was asked by his publisher to clear my schedule for the next two years and plan on traveling the world promoting his book. "I was hoping to bring great change to Warren County,” he said, citing his objective of launching a movement to convert the regional public school system from district-directed to county-directed. Oppitz said he was seeking to consolidate schools to reduce expenses that result in the state’s traditionally high property
taxes. In the letter, he also said he hoped to “lead the charge” to dramatically lower Warren County taxes by updating its computer systems and reducing the sheriff’s department to a bareminimum force that only operated the jail. Also, he said he’d like to rent out the new $16.9 million Social Services building — not yet finished — to private business. He also said he supports raising bed and sales taxes and applying all proceeds to property tax relief. Oppitz, 57, lists his credentials as serving as CEO of “MetaEnergy Medicine, Inc.” — a company name which wasn’t readily found on the Internet — and having earned a divinity degree from World Christian Ministries. The chair of the Democratic Party, Andy Knoll, could not be reached this week for comment. Incumbent Supervisor Lawrence “Red” Pitkin, an independent and Independence Party candidate, said that with Oppitz’s departure, he had gained the support of the Thurman Democratic Party. “But just because I’m accepting their endorsement doesn’t mean I’m taking on any of their views,” he said. “I’ve got my own independent positions, and they’re not going to change based on who supports me.”

From page 1 to purchase a new tandem dump/snowplow truck to replace a deteriorating 15-year-old truck. On top of that surplus, the town has about $340,000 more in an account that’s now restricted to capital improvements to benefit taxpayers. This money and the surplus, Pitkin said, will remain until the citizens decide what they want to do with it, whether its upgrading their vehicles, enhancing town buildings, or constructing a town garage which is now dilapidated. “We still have a significant cushion,” Pitkin said. “We’ll be holding workshop meetings with the public this year to prepare a spending plan for the future.” Pitkin said that he’s consolidated the cash and put it all in an account where it now earns interest, although it’s a low rate due to the economy. The pending 2010 budget for the town general fund alone lists a total of $586,916 in appropriations, reduced by $397,025 in revenues and $84,000 in fund balance, leaving $105,890 to be raised by taxes. For the 2010 highway budget, there are appropriations of $839,070 minus revenues of $276,000 and minus fund balance of $153,000, leaving $410,070 to be raised by taxes.

County municipal center in Warrensburgh?
C
oncerning the proposal to move the Warren County seat from Lake George to a county-owned site four miles north of Glens Falls, which will be put before the voters on Nov. 3, 1959, response has been in the negative. Readers of the Warrensburg News have voted three-to-one against it. Readers feel that the county board should never have let the jail get in such a deplorable condition that it couldn’t be repaired and that $1,824,300 would be needed to build a new one. Many people feel that Warrensburg would be a better choice as a new county center. Until the proposed plan is accepted and a new jail built, Warren County prisoners are transported to Rochester and boarded at $4 a day, according to Sheriff Carl McCoy. (Note: the cost to rent cells is now about $100 per day.)
Glen Bridge nearly complete The old inadequate wooden plank bridge over the Hudson at The Glen, built in 1903, will be demolished in a few weeks when the new concrete and steel bridge is completed. The plank bridge originally replaced an earlier wooden covered bridge that was built in 1816. Irving Goodman can remember when the ice took that first bridge out in 1903 when it surged higher and higher and finally with a great heave, lifted the entire structure three feet and dropped it back on its footings. The next grinding upheaval of jagged ice cakes crushed the wooden covering, swept the entire bridge off its footings and deposited it downstream several hundred feet. After the plank bridge was built in 1903, horse-drawn sleighs, huge lumber sleds, wagons and buggies have crossed over it in the past 56 years. The first automobile appeared in 1906. Untold thousands of logs floated beneath the bridge each spring, shooting through the deep swift water until around 1950 when trucks took over the transportation. The new steel bridge is now having its final coat of paint over the red lead exterior.

Bears more plentiful now The Adirondack bear population is increasing rapidly but the New York State Conservation Department is not worried. Despite a recent bear attack on Richard Bomyea, 25, a fire observer near Saranac Lake —when a bear mauled his shoulder and than fled — bears rarely attack humans. Bomyea was the first casualty in the state since records have been kept. Bears have been showing up recently in relatively large numbers at garbage dumps in Indian Lake, Lewis and Elizabethtown. In August 1958, Mrs. Albert Evans saw a 300pound bear climb out of the Schroon River in Warrensburg near Lem Hayes’ old shoe shop and disappear down Frank Robinson’s driveway. Charlie Reed also spotted a mother bear with her cubs in his berry patch.

The old Wayside hotel and bar on River Street closed its doors at midnight, Sept. 30, 1959. The red neon beer signs which flickered invitingly from the windows are gone, the last glass is emptied and the juke box is silent. All that can be heard is the sound of the Schroon River rushing over the rocks on the way to the Hudson. Frank Johnson died in April of 1959. He and his wife, Anna owned the business for the past 14 years. Anna is now living in a pleasant second floor apartment in the Ashe block with her two grandchildren, Dickey, 17 and Diane, 15. Their brother, Danny, 25 has graduated from college and works as a salesman for International Paper Co. Anna says that the Wayside Hotel has always been a working man’s place and the patrons have always treated her properly and with respect. On the night of Sept. 30, 1959 about 100 of the old patrons gathered at the bar to give “Mom” a farewell party. Dick Lanfear was bartender and son-in-law Keith Spottswood was on hand to help close. All the older pictures and maps of Warrensburgh show The Wayside located by the historic Woolen Mill Bridge. The barn which used to be occupied by horses and carriages was once a complete distillery until it was raided by federal officers. The building is now owned by Dr. Howard Johnson of Corinth, brother of the late owner, Frank Johnson. (Note…Merv Hadden came back home to Warrensburg in 1947 after the war. He purchased the grocery store across from the Wayside and started his 47-year career selling cars in the old barn on the Wayside property. Many years ago, when the Wayside was owned by Red and Martha Smith, I was invited to see the back wall of the Wayside being taken out when repairs were being made. The wall was stuffed with colorful circus posters that served as insulation. Today The Wayside enterprise, called “CB’s Spirits & Restaurant,” is owned by Chuck Bederian and is alive and well. It is housed in one of the oldest buildings in Warrensburg.)

Mrs. Aubrey’s third grade class at Warrensburg Elementary visited Oscar ’s Market and Smokehouse. The children were shown how a quarter of beef is divided into different cuts. The smokehouse was smelly but interesting to see bacon and hams being smoked with hickory wood fire smoke. The bacon slicing machine was a big hit with the children. (Note…Oscar ’s has been located at its present location on Raymond Lane since 1945. It burned Sept. 4, 2009 but is expected to reopen by Christmas, 1909.)
Obituaries Merritt Leigh Runner, 83, died Sept. 27, 1959 in Long Beach, Calif. He was once owner of the Warrensburg Electric Light Plant for about 15 years. He sold the business in 1929 to N.Y. Power & Light Corp. and moved his wife Adella and two sons, Clark and Herbert Runner, to California.

New cars make their debut Karl Duell Sr. has the new 1960 Oldsmobile on display already in his showroom. He has only six 1959 models left in inventory. Karl and Beecher Baker flew to New York City on Sept. 30, 1959 to drive back two of the new 1960 models. Mark Bruce will broadcast from New York City about the new 1960 Buick on WSET radio. Not to be outdone, William Maltbie, 178 Main St., Warrensburg, is now showing the 1960 Chevrolet and John Hickey, at 22 Main St., has in the new Ford and Mercury. Robert Thompson is showing the 1960 Dodge in Lake George. (Note…It used to be a big thing in local society to attend ne- car cocktail parties when dealers showed off their highly polished new automobiles and their wives fiercely competed to produce the fanciest hors d’oeuvres and to wear the most stunning gowns.)
News roundabout Residents of Lake George have a new village hall. A gala surprise party was held Sept. 27, 1959 at Ashe’s Hotel by stock car racers to honor Hank Schmitt on his birthday. Hank is the promoter of the Warrensburg Speedway and he was presented with a purse and a model of his old stand-by stock car, F-40. Mrs. John Haskell landed a 17 &3/4 pound lake trout while fishing near Anthony’s Nose on Lake George. The fish is the largest reported in the summer of 1959. It was 35 inches long and it took her nearly 45 minutes to land it.
GUESTVIEWPOINT APA should reconsider Lows Lake decision
T
he Adirondack Park Agency has an opportunity to correct a serious mistake at its November board meeting. Unfortunately, the agency’s history suggests it will forego the opportunity – and instead take one more step to keep most members of the public out of one of the Adirondacks’ most beautiful lakes. In September, the APA voted – for the first time – to classify a lake as a “wilderness.” But the agency allowed a commissioner whose term was no longer valid to vote, and so the decision was invalid. Now a revote is necessary and it is scheduled for the agency meeting on Nov. 12 and 13. Why does any of this matter? New York State owns 3 million acres of public land in the Adirondack Park – all paid for with tax dollars. The state now owns or controls (through the most restrictive classification available) 75 percent of ALL of the land in the Adirondacks, public and private. When the state buys land, it does so, it says, to benefit the public. One of the principal benefits is expanding access to recreational opportunities for all of the people of New York. Emphasis on ALL. But a clear pattern is developing of the state systematically and quietly restricting public access to public land. These steps exclude ordinary New Yorkers who might want or need to use a motor fishing boat, a snowmobile, an ATV, even a motorized wheelchair to get to the most remote backcountry areas. The vote to classify a lake as a wilderness for the first time is a major step toward less access for all but the most able-bodied canoeists and kayakers. The lake in question is Lows Lake, which straddles the St. Lawrence-Hamilton county border. Once Lows Lake is classified as a wilderness, motorized vehicles will be banned, under New York law, with the possible exception of those owned by the people who own land on the lake. Lows Lake is beautiful and serene, but it is not a wilderness in any sense of the word: • The lake is not natural. It is a feat of engineering, artificially created with earthen dams.
• A road runs along most of the 9-mile-long lake. Roads are banned in wilderness in New York State. • Much of the land around the lake is not classified as a wilderness. It is a mix of public and private properties. Private lands are banned in wilderness in New York State. The APA is under relentless political pressure to create this phony wilderness from some members of the Adirondack Mountain Club, the canoeist-kayaker lobby, who want the lake to be free of any motor noise that might detract from their members’ enjoyment. An agency charged with pursuing the public interest appears to be buckling under pressure from a politically influential private organization to restrict access to most members of the public for the benefit of private interests. Last year, the APA also took steps to reduce snowmobile trails in the Adirondacks. One commissioner suggested Adirondackers take up snowshoeing. More recently, the Department of Environmental Conservation banned the time-honored, neighborly, and environmentally friendly practice of leaving a rowboat and oars near Forest Preserve lakes so that they did not have to be portaged in each time — a harmless concession to people who have difficulty carrying a boat long distances. All of this leads to making the Adirondacks an exclusive preserve for the rich, the powerful, the athletic and ablebodied. As baby boomers’ knees and backs age, their owners still will want access to the outdoors. Our disabled neighbors want and deserve improved access to the Adirondacks. Young families with small children deserve an opportunity to explore the wilderness. The APA can help achieve this by rejecting the proposal to create a Lows Lake wilderness — and at the same time demonstrate some political independence from the environmental pressure groups that presume to control state policy in the Adirondacks.

State stalling on sale of Armory hinders economic development, officials say By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — State officials should reduce the price drastically on the castle-like Army National Guard armory in Glens Falls so it will be sold and put back to use soon to generate local tax revenue, a regional economic development guru said Monday. Warren County Economic Development Corp. President Len Fosbrook said he was disappointed the state Office of General Services officials set a minimum bid at $500,000 for the historic, imposing structure that months ago local developer Peter Hoffman had offered to buy for far less and develop into an office building. Fosbrook said he was frustrated the state officials entertained the offer, but then set the minimum bid far higher for a public auction Oct. 21 at which only one bidder attended, but declined to buy the brick-andstone building at the $500,000 price set by the state. Complete with towers and
turrets, balconies and soaring arches, the Glens Falls Armory has served for decades as the Army National Guard headquarters. The Warren Street building, built in 1895, became vacant earlier this year when the National Guard moved its operations to a new building in Queensbury. Fosbrook said the state’s high price meant the armory could be mothballed for months or years, obstructing much-needed economic activity on Warren Street, while the state waits for a turnaround in the real estate market so they could get a little more for the building. “To wait and attempt to maximize the sale price for a few dollars in the short run is very short-sighted and ignores the economic development needs that exist,” Fosbrook said. “It makes good business sense to get offices the building and place it back on the tax rolls.” Queensbury Supervisor Fred Champagne complained that the state was acting arbitrarily to routinely hand out business incentives worth millions of dol-
lars, yet stonewall a sale that would boost the local economy to perhaps gain several thousand dollars while the building would deteriorate. “The state might as well hand it over now for $1,” he said. Fosbrook and his audience of nearly a dozen Warren County supervisors Monday at a county meeting said they’d likely be lobbying the state to sell the building for $250,000 so it can boost the local economy rather than drag it down. Retired New York City firefighter Rocco Musumeci was the only person registering to bid on the Glens Falls Armory. He brought along a $50,000 deposit required to purchase the building at its minimum bid price, but apparently decided not to purchase the building at the set price when no other bidders showed up. Musumeci has said he might rehabilitate the armory as a home for disabled veterans or for children with developmental disabilities. Attending the auction were investors and real estate brokers, several other

developers including Hoffman — and an official of the Hyde Collection, which is situated next door. Some have suggested that considering the building’s imposing architecture, The Hyde would be an appropriate new owner if they sought to expand their art collections and exhibition space.

8 - ADIRONDACK JOURNAL • OPINION
Town Board was justified; Bunting didn’t stick to contract The choice: progress for the town, or a dinosaur politician in charge To the editor: We are in an age in which information moves at the speed of light, where the state Comptroller regularly audits each and every community, where a down economy requires that government operate more efficiently. In a time of such transition and flux, what kind of person do we want running our community? In the coming November election in Warrensburg, we have two options: a realist manager with decades of corporate experience, or a consummate politician spewing unrealistic rhetoric – a man unprepared to run a town in the digital age? Mr. Baker does have a few strengths, none of which will solve Warrensburg’s or Warren County’s problems over the next four years. Maynard Baker is a politician, nothing more and nothing less. Sure he puts his work in, campaigning hard to secure each and every vote. Sadly though, this is the limit of his skill set. Mr. Baker is a man who views computer upgrades and appropriate town management as wasteful and excessive. His brash misunderstanding of the role and functioning of a 21st century municipality is regularly on-center stage as he makes his campaign rounds throughout the community. Instead, he would rather spend countless thousands of taxpayer cash on unnecessary and frivolous lawsuits that only serve his antiquated personal agenda. Mr. Baker claims that the installation of water meters is costly and wasteful. Any citizen can call the state Department of Public Works or the non-partisan state Association of Counties and find this to be false. On average, a town’s water district cuts spending by roughly 30 percent after installing water meters. Further, the amount of water used by the systems regularly decreases by many thousands of gallons. In short, water meters are simply a proven method saving taxpayer money — of being more responsible and efficient. But of course Mr. Baker is largely unable to be aware of this easily accessible information because he is incapable of operating a computer. Mr. Baker is a dinosaur, who is incapable of even comprehending the modes and methods of governmental efficiency — a man left behind by the digital age. With an afternoon of fact checking, it is blatantly apparent that each and every claim Mr. Baker makes on the campaign trail is false. Cutting property taxes in half is totally and utterly impossible — it can’t be done. This unmitigated use of misinformation and fear to garner votes may have worked 30 years ago, before the Internet made it possible for the average citizen to do a little research. Like it or not, the silicon-fueled meteor has struck and Mr. Baker is scared by this fact because he has been left behind by progress. Thanks to the freedom the web offers, the average citizen can see through the lies, through the fear-mongering. This freedom is a threat to the outdated political tactics upon which Mr. Baker has traditionally relied. Mr. Baker may be quite the campaigner, but that’s it. On the contrary, Mr. Geraghty is an effective manager who is aware of the speed at which society is changing. This town is simply a corporation, of which each and every taxpayer owns stock. This November, we the voters must ask ourselves a single question. Do we want an antiquated, uncompromising and fear-spewing politician or a proven manager with his sights set on attainable goals running that corporation? John S. Alexander Warrensburg
Dickinson has experience, integrity To the editor: I want to raise my voice as one of the growing majority of residents who are supporting Dennis Dickinson to be the next Town Supervisor of Lake George. Dennis is an honorable and experienced man, who has already once been Supervisor of Lake George. He has the background we need — born and raised in Lake George, has a successful local business, and has experience at the Town and county level. I have known Dennis for 40 years. He is honest, ethical, and has the integrity needed to provide strong leadership. He is ecologically aware and will work hard to protect our most valuable resource — the lake. Dennis also recognizes the need to create economic opportunities for families to be able to raise their children here. He is fiscally conservative and believes in creating a vibrant business climate. Dennis also has an invaluable skill — being able to reach out to people and get things done. As a professional engineer and land surveyor, he is familiar with complex situations, and familiar with how to solve tough dilemmas. Most importantly, Dennis believes in working together to overcome disagreements. We’ll need that to deal with the discussions of sharing of services between the Town and the Village, as well as the infrastructure issues. Please join me Nov. 3 in voting for Dennis Dickinson for Lake George Town Supervisor. We’ll all be better for it. Karen Azer Lake George
To the editor: I would like to set the record straight, as a resident and Town Board member, in reply to Bill Bunting’s Oct. 24 letter to the editor. Mr. Bunting purchased the property in the Industrial Park and the deed was filed June 23, 2004. A covenant in the deed required Mr. Bunting to commence construction of the building on the plot within one year or the property would be subject to a right of reversion by the town. Mr. Bunting signed that covenant agreeing to the terms. By not building, Mr. Bunting was depriving the town of tax dollars that should have been generated by the structure instead of a vacant lot. Getting Mr. Bunting to comply cost the taxpayers legal fees that we should not have incurred. If there was a problem, Mr. Bunting caused it, and the Town Board reacted to benefit the taxpayers. The decision to force the issue was tough for the Town Board to make because we wanted a good relationship with the occupants of the Warrensburg Industrial Park. As a taxpayer and board member, I am glad Performance Custom Trailers is in our park, and I wish Mr. Bunting success in his endeavors. Joseph M. Barlow Warrensburg
Frank McCoy offers experience To the editor: To all voters in Lake George: I am asking for your support for a friend, a neighbor and an upstanding citizen of our community. On Nov. 3, please elect Frank McCoy Supervisor of the Town of Lake George. Frank brings 19 years of experience in local government. He has served on the Lake George Town Planning Board, Zoning board, Town Board, and the local Republican Committee. Frank has many accomplishments during these 19 years, from implementing the town Internet website to serving on the committee for the new firehouse. Please vote Frank McCoy for Supervisor on Nov. 3 - the best candidate for our town. Charles Bleibtrey, Lake George
It’s time for change in Lake George To the editor: I am a 51-year resident of the Town of Lake George and the owner of Lincoln Log Colony. The hostility that the Town Board and associated zoning boards hold for those who disagree with them has been obvious for years. Here are examples of open hostility practiced by the Lake George Town government: The town advised a developer that they held a right-of-way over my Lincoln Log property. They signed an approval to dig on my property. I advised the utility that the town did not hold a right-of-way on my property. The utility checked it out and agreed with me. They said the town did not have a right-of-way for the use they wanted. The Lake George town government ignores a taxpayer, but helps a developer. When confronted with this information at a town board meeting, no one would admit any wrongdoing. Property rights were violated. The town board said, “Sue us.” Another time I went to a town planning board hearing about a development. The chairman told us to shut up or he would throw us out. The developer could talk for an hour, but citizens could speak for only three minutes. Needless to say, we did not shut up nor did they throw us out. When people who owned expensive homes on the east side of Lake George complained about high sewer district rates based on appraisals of their property, the town board changed the rate to lower the wealthy houses and transfer the costs to retired people and small businesses. The government forgot the Caldwell Sewer District was formed due to the septic tank leaks from these same wealthy home owners. “If you don’t like it, sue us,” was the response. The town government has been managed poorly. We have no sidewalks, no planning for water use, no planning for sewer expansion, no planning for lake protection, no working with other units of government, and no written planning for anything. Monies received from taxes on new properties and buildings were wasted by ignoring future needs. It’s time for a change. Way past time for a change. Jean McEnaney Flacke Lake George
Don’t vote for outsiders! To the editor: My uncle once stated, "Don't let your town boards be filled with folks who have not grown up in town — When you do, you suffer the consequences!" Why is it local folks can not get or keep a job in town? They seem to do away with the local people and hire new residents. Please vote this election year for those who have been active in town for many years. One more thing, would not it be great to have a Supervisor who has been an Assessor, then the blame can't be passed back and forth, he would know both sides. Vern Harris, Buyce Rd., Athol
SATURDAY October 31, 2009
No more dictatorship in Lake George! To the editor: On Nov. 3 the citizens of Lake George face another election. You must decide if you want to be forward thinking or continue to stand still with what has been for 25 years. The Republican candidates running have been well “trained” by the current supervisor, Lou Tessier. He has trained them to do as he says, to hide the truth, to fake acknowledgement of constituents’ concerns, and to be a controlled part of his 25-year dictatorship. I have closely watched our town government abuse the system and abuse residents. Have you ever sat at a town board meeting and heard Mr. Tessier tell a citizen to “sit down and shut up” with not one town councilperson saying a word? I have! Have you ever tried to get information from the town which should be public record but have been told there is no such information? Do you know that there have been numerous lawsuits against the Town of Lake George that have cost the taxpayers real money? Have you, or anyone you know, been a victim of retaliation by the current town government? Do you know anyone who has received ‘favors’ from the existing town government? Do you expect your town government to lie to you or withhold information about major projects? Did you know that the $29,000 figure our Town government said was spent on Gaslight Village is a significant understatement? Did you know that the Town of Lake George was fined $2,500 in Jan. 2009 by the state Dept. of Labor for the illegal, non-certified handling of asbestos at the Opera House? Did you know that our town government allowed town workers to handle this hazardous material, thereby jeopardizing their health? Did you know that it cost the Town $11,000 to have a certified contractor haul the asbestos-laden material away? The cost is not $29,000, but $29,000 plus $2,500 plus $11,000 or $42,500-plus! Labor costs are not included in that figure, as they should be! No board member, including Frank McCoy, has raised a voice to correct these inaccuracies. There has been no accurate cost accounting for this project! Please do your homework and vote for a forward-thinking town government. Get rid of the old regime as they will continue to be guided by the outgoing supervisor through a back door. We desperately need a forward thinking supervisor and Town Board! Think not about what was, but what might be! Joanne M. Gavin Lake George
Developers sought to squirm out of contracts with town To the editor: I just read Bill Bunting’s letter to the editor in the Journal and felt perhaps I could help solve his perplexities. Mr. Bunting, is it fact or fiction that you purchased property from Supervisor Quintal under a Contract Of Sale signed by you with the Town of Warrensburg with a Declaration of Covenants attached to that Contract of Sale signed and sealed by both you and the Town of Warrensburg where it was stated you had so many months to build on the property or the property would convert back to the Town? Mr. Bunting, is it fact or fiction that you did nothing to build on this property until the Town started to process your default of contract, you in fact were costing Warrensburg taxpayers money by keeping property off the tax roll and then by failing to put a building on the property? Mr. Bunting, since you are not a native of Warrensburg, why would you wish to be so involved in Warrensburg politics ? Would it be because you were at the time of your property battle with the Town in the same “kettle” as Bryan Rounds? Birds of a feather, Mr. Bunting? Mr. Rounds purchased property from the Town of Warrensburg, a town where he has signed oaths to support, only to try and wiggle out of a contract he knowingly and willingly signed, and, then typical of Bryan, tried to wiggle out of, two years later. The current Supervisor and his “followers” are honest men with integrity, taking care of a small town of residents in the Adirondacks. The town is lucky to have them and hope to have another four years of good financial stability. Vote for Kevin Geraghty on Nov. 3 and help Warrensburg continue to grow. Jim Hull Warrensburg
Applaud your Warrensburg officials for giving up pay hike! To the editor: Sometimes politicians do the right thing. I applaud Warrensburg town board members for freezing the pay of their elected officials as well as themselves. Praise also to public works chief, Rick Galusha, who stepped up to the plate and turned down his raise, as did town supervisor Kevin Geraghty. Other budget cut decisions may have been difficult but, this time around the welfare of the citizens of Warrensburg was considered first and foremost. That is the bottom line to this story — that these decisions were made is refreshing; unfortunately, decisions like these should be the standard, not a noteworthy news event. We should all have local, county, state and federal representation like the folks in Warrensburg have today. Adele Tresten Town of Chester

SATURDAY October 31, 2009
Geraghty’s the one to control taxes To the editor: I urge all to vote for Kevin Geraghty. It’s really sad that Mr. Geraghty's opponent goes around stating “On Mr. Geraghty's watch in four years, he increased taxes by 39 percent.” Mr. Geraghty has only prepared three Budgets, 2007, 2008 and 2009. The 2010 Budget is waiting approval from the Town Board. When Mr. Geraghty took office, the town Highway Fund owed the General Fund $176,066. The town Lighting District owed the General Fund, the Sewer District owed the General Fund, the Water District owed the General Fund and to top it all off, the Industrial Park owed the General Fund. The Budget did go up under Mr. Geraghty, but one of the reasons was so he could start to pay back all these funds that had not been paid for. He has steadily been paying back these funds on an annual basis and now has real budgets and last year the Highway Fund ended with a balance. If Mr. Baker is promising a 3 percent budget increase, how is going to accomplish it? Do the math folks, and with things increasing as much as they have, does he mean layoffs of town employees? Health insurance is increasing 10 percent almost each year; employee contracts signed before the economic collapse call for worth 3.5 percent annual increases, and now an increase of $40,000 is mandated to the state Retirement Fund — how will Mr. Baker get there? By the way, did you know that it was Mr. Baker who voted for the Hudson Falls trash plant that cost the area taxpayers more than $150 million, and Mr. Baker who voted for the tourist railroad when he served in office before? It was not Mr. Geraghty. Mr. Geraghty does not spend like a “drunken sailor” as his opponent would have you believe. Check out of Warrensburg Fire District budget, and you will find it to be the lowest and best value of any around — and guess who has been responsible for those annual budgets along with the Board of Fire Commissioners — none other than Kevin Geraghty. I have worked closely with Kevin Geraghty for over 30 years in the Warrensburg Fire Co., and 10 years as a Fire Commissioner, and can assure you that he is an honest, intelligent businessman. Kevin has guided the department in the right direction when money matters were at issue. Mr. Geraghty has also been Secretary to the board of Fire Commissioners for many years and with his knowledge and foresight has helped keep the annual budget down and the fire tax rate very low for years, and yet the Warrensburg Fire co. has some of the best equipment in Warren County thanks to Kevin Geraghty. The letter from the businessman feeling not wanted by the present supervisor is a twist of information. To the best of my knowledge, the parcel of land he bought had to be built on within a year, that date came and went with nothing happening on the property, so the Town Board did exercise their contractual right to make it happen well after the time frame he agreed on had passed. Mr. Businessman seemed to forget to tell the whole story in his letter. As far as the Town was concerned they were getting shortchanged on a building that the taxpayers expected there. I also have to add that I have never seen a wheelchair on Kevin Geraghty's roof — nor Joe Barlow's, either. A vote for Kevin Geraghty is a vote for the future of Warrensburg — folks vote Independent or Conservative lines and keep Warrensburg moving ahead.

For couples choosing to hold their wedding ceremony at their own place of worship or that of their families, the perfect location to exchange vows is a non-decision. Many reception sites also boast beautiful settings in which to hold a wedding ceremony, offering the bride and groom a convenient alternative. For others though, the ideal ceremony location presents a challenge, since unlike reception sites, resources for ceremony site ideas are often scarce. Thankfully, this list of our favorite ceremony sites will ensure your wedding ceremony is as memorable as your reception.
Unique Ceremony Site Ideas Parks Offering a picturesque outdoor setting, parks are perfect locations for wedding ceremonies held during temperate months. The abundance of natural scenery can even eliminate the need for pricey decorations! Government Buildings Often magnificent architectural wonders, government buildings are a great untapped resource for memorable wedding ceremonies. Rivers/Lakes/Beaches If your wedding reception will be held close to a body of water, take advantage of the ideal location and consider holding your ceremony on the banks of the water. National Monuments Incorporate some historical significance into your affair, and hold your ceremony near a national monument. Natural Wonders Nothing signifies taking the big leap into marriage quite like saying “I Do” from a waterfall, cliff or mountain top. Botanical Gardens In addition to all the love in the air, a garden wedding ceremony provides warm breezes, fragrant flowers and a great relaxed vibe. Consult your almanac and ensure the outside temperatures will be comfortable during your chosen time of year.
Museums Another often untapped resource of architectural prowess, museums provide distinctive backdrops for ceremonies (and an opportunity to learn something!) Roof Deck or Roof Top If you’re close to a metropolitan area, consider the roof of one of the tallest buildings. This can make for stunning views and photo opportunities. Family Member’s House or Yard Perhaps the perfect ceremony site is right in your own backyard! Having a backyard ceremony adds a special personal touch and creates a down home feel. Because no two backyards are the same, it also guarantees your wedding ceremony will be unlike any other.

Wedding Centerpiece Ideas Wedding centerpieces may not be considered important at some festivities however a wedding is a different story. You set the mood of the occasion by complimenting you and your partner’s personalities with carefully chosen embellishments. Consider the wedding theme, the size your tables, color of your tablecloths, color of wedding attire and the venue’s décor. Flowers are commonly chosen as wedding centerpieces for their variety, color, fragrance and ease of availability. Choosing flowers which are out of season can become costly and difficult to find. An alternative to using fresh flowers of your choice, you could use silk flowers on their own or mixed with fresh flowers. The use of fruits as wedding centerpieces can create a very attractive and affordable alternative. With a bit of creativity and imagination, you are able to make something wonderful out of fruit. Place whole lemons’ in a vase combined with sunflowers. Use cut limes, sliced apples, whole grapes, berries or colored seeds...the list is endless. Tropical fruits, including pomegranates cut in half. Buy glass vases or containers for your centerpiece from markets, bargain shops or dollar stores. Use your imagination for a summer wedding! By filling glasses with colored stones, water, rose buds or orchids and floating candles you are able to create a wonderful centerpiece. Alternatively, sand, shells and greenery create an effective display. Lavender, fruit, gum leaves - get those creative juices going - go green. Collect (free) branches, leaves, pine cones, driftwood and spray with gold or silver metallic spray paint. Arrange in the center of the table

with a few long lasting tea lights. Other alternatives are ivy, holly and rosemary. Dark table cloths really set this off. An eye catching arrangement! Remember your guests. Try to not make your centerpieces too bulky so guests have trouble talking to and seeing each other or that they take up large amounts of room on the table and then only allows very minimal room for placement of crockery and glassware. Another extra to place on tables for guests is a disposable camera. This allows guests’ to take snapshots of other guests, or you and the bridal party. Photo’s that you would not normally have taken. One camera on each table is sufficient.

Questions To Ask When Choosing Wedding Favors Choosing wedding favors can be a lot of fun, but for many brides it’s one more stressful chore to cross off the list. If you’re facing those wedding favors with a sense of dread — or are just feeling a little out of your depth, these questions can help you find the perfect way to thank your guests on your special day, and maybe even bring a little bit of fun into the process. How Much Can You Afford to Spend Per Favor? The cost of a wedding can be staggering, so when it comes to wedding favors, budget has to be a consideration. Start by determining the amount that you can spend, and then divide it by the number of guests that you expect. Most often, the bride and groom choose one gift per couple, rather than one for each wedding guest. But this isn’t a hard and fast rule. Some couples may decide on one wedding favor for female guests, and another for the males. DIY or Wedding Favor Kits? Wedding favors may seem inexpensive, until you add up all the numbers. In a lot of cases, you can save a considerable amount if you’re willing to put in the time and energy to assemble them yourself. The assembly may be as simple as sliding a personalized ribbon over a box, or as complex as putting together the entire favor. If you’re willing to do some of the assembly yourself, or have a wedding party or family member who is willing to do it for you, look into the various DIY options for wedding favors. There are complete wedding favor kits that include everything you need to create a professional looking wedding favor, complete with bow and ribbon. If you’re craftier, or want more of a handson experience, you can choose the pieces that you need for your wedding favors one by one, and design your own unique wedding favors. Do You Want Wedding Favors That Double as Table Cards or Decorations? There are many different wedding favors that can serve as place cards or table decorations. Some of the most popular double-duty wedding favors are photo clips and photo frames. These favors can hold place cards at the reception, and photos or post cards once your guests are home.
Do You Want to Give Your Guests an Edible Wedding Favor? Edible wedding favors have always been popular. The most traditional edible wedding favors are Jordan almonds wrapped in tulle and tied with colorful ribbon. There are lots of other choices for edible wedding favors, including name-brand chocolates and candy bars with personalized labels created just for your wedding. Other edible wedding favors include gourmet coffee, gourmet tea bags, little jars of honey and packets of mints or candies. You can personalize these gifts by adding a special label with your name and wedding date. Edible gifts are fairly inexpensive, and give your guests a taste of luxury that they can enjoy after your wedding day is over. Do You Want Wedding Favors that Fit the Theme of Your Wedding? It’s easy to find favors that fit your theme, especially if you have a popular beach or island wedding motif. Themed wedding favors are especially appropriate for more casual weddings, where they can serve as part of the table decoration. You might choose, for instance, wire framed picture clips in the shape of dragonflies for a garden party wedding. These favors add to the garden theme, hold place cards on the reception table, and hold recipes, mail or photos once your guests take them home. Where Can You Buy Wedding Favors? You can buy wedding favors online at sites that are dedicated to wedding mementoes and party favors, or at bridal websites. Or, talk to your wedding planner or consultant about local sources for wedding favors. In most cities, there are several small businesses that specialize in designing and creating wedding favors to match your wedding décor. If you want to create your own wedding favors, you can usually find gifts like photo frames or albums at local stores and buy them in bulk. Just pick up ribbon, wrapping, tulle and other package decorations at a local craft or party supply store, and you’re ready to assemble wedding favors. Whether you go the DIY or wedding favor kit route, there are plenty of ways to let your guests know how much you appreciate them. All it takes is a little creativity and resourcefulness. While traditional favors, like tulle wrapped Jordan almonds, are always a hit, don’t be afraid to think outside the box. Favors that tie into your wedding theme, or reflect your unique personality will make a lasting impression.

Elections From page 1 wearing a Democratic label after eyeing a crowded field of Republicans earlier this year. The race in Lake George is exciting this year not only because of the candidates and innovative ideas some of them are proposing, but because of the pressing issues Lake George faces. These issues have prompted controversy, whether it’s so-
lutions to the failing sewage collection system, dissolution of village government, substandard capacity at the sewage treatment plant, or the starkly differing ideas for the redevelopment of festival space in the Westbrook Park. See the election profiles elsewhere in this issue for a sampling of the candidates’ views. In Warrensburg, there’s no less of a fracas. There’s a contended race for supervisor between two seasoned candidates and a
race between three successful entrepreneurs for two board seats. Former town supervisor and funeral home owner Maynard D. Baker (R,I) is challenging incumbent Supervisor Kevin Geraghty(C), long-time officer of the local fire company, for a four-year term. For Warrensburg Town Board, former town Planning Board member and chair Bryan Rounds (R) is challenging incumbent trustees John Alexander (R ), a funeral home owner, and

Joseph Barlow (C,I), an insurance executive. Fueling the supervisor race are allegations by Baker that Geraghty has been extravagant with the taxpayers’ money — which Geraghty supporters vehemently dispute. Baker has also said he plans to work toward lowering assessments, but Geraghty said such an aim is not only impractical, it’s not possible under the state's governmental system. Geraghty notes his fiscal cost-cutting has been proven as county budget officer — under his tenure this year, dozens of positions have been eliminated, and spending on programs and bureaucracy has been cut by millions of dollars. But Baker has said he wants to make further cuts not only at the county level, but in town government. Both Baker and Geraghty

Secrets of an Adirondack hermit’s code discovered
SATURDAY October 31, 2009
This exotic fish known as a Pacu — a close cousin of the ferocious Piranha — was found swimming in Otter Creek last week. Pictured below is a northern snakehead fish, which was also introduced to local waters and has since established itself, permanently altering the ecosystem.

Pictured above is the cabin built by hermit Noah John Rondeau on the Cold River. Photograph courtesy of Adirondack Research Room, Saranac Lake Free Library.
N
oah John Rondeau was not the original Adirondack hermit. The Great North Woods have harbored many individuals who could stake claim to the title, from French Louie in the West Canada Lakes to the mysterious, Follensby near the Saranacs. It seems that nearly every section of the Adirondacks has hosted at least one capable woodsman who preferred the forest to the town. Yet, Noah John Rondeau was certainly the most visible of the breed and he remains the most famous. A self proclaimed mayor of Cold River City, (population of one), Rondeau established his wilderness residence on a high bank overlooking the Cold River, upstream of the junction with Ouluska Pass Brook. His hermitage was established on the location of an old, abandoned Santa Clara Lumber Company logging camp. Although Rondeau had worked as a barber, caretaker and lumber camp laborer, by 1926 he was ready to become a permanent resident of the sprawling metropolis of Cold River City. On a high bank overlooking the Cold River valley, Noah established his cabin and a number of outbuildings, which he named the Town Hall, the Hall of Records and the Beauty Parlor. He also constructed a variety of “Wigwams.” These wigwam structures, which resembled teepees in shape, were constructed for the collection of firewood. During his ordinary everyday travels, whether hunting, trapping or fishing, Rondeau would return to camp dragging a long, slender sapling. The tree would be notched every 18 inches or so and stacked in a teepee fashion to dry. He gave these structures proper names, calling one the Pyramid of Giza. In the deep snows and cold of winter, he could open the window, pull a sapling in to a notch and break it off. The system worked well, he never had to step outside to cut firewood during the winter. It was just one of the many secrets of comfortable, forest living that the old hermit acquired. There were many others! The Hall of Records cabin, which is preserved and on display at the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake, appears to be too small for a man to stand. Even though Rondeau stood only 5-foot 2-inches in stature, the cabin door opening measures barely five feet. Yet the floor of the cabin was set a full two feet into the ground. It was dug below the level of frost, so that the dirt floor would always stay warm. Rondeau was an unusual hermit in the respect that he firmly enjoyed company, yet he enjoyed the woods more. His hermitage was discovered in the late 1920's and early 1930's by an burgeoning breed of enthusiastic hikers. About that time, the Northville-Placid Trail, a 132-mile hiking route was being established. The trail provided a new venue for backcountry enthusiasts and the traffic brought a steady source of staples for Noah. Around the same time, members of the newly minted, Adirondack '46'ers Club began frequenting Rondeau's hermitage. Travelers would often provide him with canned goods, flour, sugar and other supplies. To some, he became known as the “Tin Can Hermit” and the rusted, remains of these supplies can still be found over the bank of his Hermitage.
Rondeau often kept his canned goods in the river, where their labels would eventually wash off. As a result, he often enjoyed ‘mystery meals,’ since he had no idea what the can held until it was opened. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of his existence were his journals. For many years, he maintained nearly a daily log of his trials and travels, which has served to document his lonesome and not so lonesome life. The writing offer insights into his personality, natural education and ongoing battles with the conservation department and “eternal Big Government.” The journals provided a source of comic relief and served as a way for him to blow off steam. Rondeau wrote about a long walk to the Coreys Post Office to mail his buck tag report to the Conservation Department on Nov. 25, 1945. “Just finished a 24 mile walk to mail tag to American, weak minded Blood and dishonest American Flesh (the Conservation Commission),” he wrote. On Jan. 2, 1947 he wrote, "A chick-a-dee bird tried my weasel trap and it worked. I read Thoreau." On Jan. 3, his entry reads, "The chick-a-dee bird that got killed in the weasel trap yesterday is still dead." In another entry, Rondeau comments on having spent over 365 consecutive days in the woods. Remarking on having lived a full year as a hermit, he writes, “I find that I am very good company.” In his journals, Rondeau writes about visitors to Cold River City such as Richard “Red” Smith of Lake Placid, Wayne and Peggy Byrne and Dr. and Mrs. Dittmar of Plattsburgh, or of visiting with Harry Johnson in Lewis, John St. Dennis in Elizabethtown or Ted Hillman in Saranac Lake. However, a good portion of his journals were written in code. These unique hieroglyphics, described as the “footprints of an inebriated hen” contain mysterious symbols that were believed to protect the old woodsman's deepest secrets. None of his many friends ever knew the meaning of these scratchings. During the entire year of 1942 and 1946, Rondeau wrote nearly all of his journal entries entirely in code. For nearly 50 years, Rondeau's writings remained an enigma until David Greene cracked it. Greene, son of Evelyn Greene of North Creek, is also the grandson of Paul and Ma Schaefer, who are recognized as Adirondack legends in their own right. The story of how David Greene cracked Rondeau's code, as well as a translation of the two missing journal years can be found in a recently published book, entitled, Noah John Rondeau's Adirondack Wilderness Days: A Year with the Hermit of Cold River Flow. Author Jay O'Hern, who spent many years researching the life and times of Noah Rondeau, had previously published Life with Noah. Years back, O'Hern befriended Richard “Red” Smith of Lake Placid, who shared stories of his adventures with the old hermit. Smith, a frequent guest of Rondeau's, had provided a home for the old hermit at Whispering Pines before he died in 1967. Smith was a well known, local woodsman and scoutmaster who passed away in 1993. With Smith's passing, a major portion of the old hermit's legacy was lost. Such is the case with many of Rondeau's old friends, the Byrnes, Dittmars, Schaefers and others. While preserved newsreels and radio programs may offer further insights into Rondeau's life and times, they offer little in the way of the personality conveyed to friends. Even though the code has been broken, without first hand knowledge, the true personality of the old hermit will forever be encoded. Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

mployees of the Vermont Marble Power Division of Omya made a startling discovery near their Sutherland Plant in Proctor, Vt., last week. The group noticed an oddlooking fish in the water of Otter Creek. The fish was captured and later identified by Vermont fisheries biologist Shawn Good as being a Pacu — a cousin of the ferocious Piranha that is native to the Amazon and Orinoco river basins of South America. Good believes the fish was set free after being removed from a private aquarium it had most likely outgrown. It measured 15 inches and weighed 2.5 pounds. While owners may think they are doing their pets a favor by setting them free, the practice can be devastating to local ecosystems, Good said. “Illegal aquarium releases are a common source of exotic species introductions in the U.S.,” said Good. “More than 38 species of unwanted fish and dozens of plants, crayfish, and snails have become established in waters of the U.S as a result.” Some infestations — like Eurasian watermilfoil and the northern snakehead fish — have cost millions of dollars for conNorthern snakehead fish trol and management. Even then, these species remain, having forever altered the environment, Good said. Both Vermont and New York have laws in place making it illegal to release fish into public waters. “It seems that the general public is largely unaware of the dangers posed by releasing aquarium fish,” said Good. “I can't stress enough how serious this is.” It’s not the first time Good has seen exotic species released into local waterbodies. In 2005, a fisherman caught an Oscar — also a South American fish species from the Amazon region — while bass fishing in Lake Hortonia in Rutland County. That same year, a Middlebury College professor found a tropical catfish in Lake Dunmore, in Addison County. Even the common goldfish has been found living, and unfortunately even thriving, in some Vermont and New York lakes and ponds. Good said in this case, the Pacu released into Otter Creek would never have survived because it requires a warm climate. But, that isn’t the case with every exotic species, like the northern snakehead or even the common goldfish. “There are many species of common aquarium fish that could establish populations if they were released, and that could cause immense damage to native fish populations and ecosystems,” he said.
More on the state’s new regulation banning boats on backcountry ponds I’ve received plenty of feedback from anglers who believe the state was off base to ban small boats and canoes from being left on remote trout waters. Perhaps most telling were the comments I received from fishermen who believe they will no longer have access to some ponds once the boats there are removed. One fisherman commented on my blog at www.denpubs.com by saying, “I'm 72 years old and cannot carry a canoe any longer. Why take away the only chance I have left to enjoy some backcountry fishing? Will the lean-tos be next?” These are the folks I feel the worst for ... and we will all be in the same boat someday (no pun intended.)

Volunteers needed for Thanksgiving Dinner
Antiques, crafts cooperative to hold sale
Church slates bazaar
GLENS FALLS — The organizers of the annual Hometown Thanksgiving Dinner, a 20-year fixture in the region, announced this week they need volunteers to sign up for work, and citizens to pledge donations. The dinner will this year be held again this year at the Christ Church Methodist, located at the corner of Bay and Washington Streets in Glens Falls. The Hometown Thanksgiving dinner is sponsored by local volunteers as a holiday experience with food and entertainment. The dinner is served free of charge to anyone wishing to attend, but especially those unable to celebrate with family or friends. Thanksgiving dinner will be served from noon to 3 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day. Anyone in need of transportation to the dinner, or wishing a dinner delivered to their home, is asked to call the Hometown Dinner phone at 636-9679. Organizers are again seeking volunteers to assist with the preparation and serving of the meal that will feed upwards of 1,000 people. Advance sign up for volunteers is mandatory, and two sign-up meetings will be held at the church to ensure that everyone wanting to pledge their time can do so. Both meetings will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 4t — one at 4 p.m., the second at 7 p.m. Volunteers are particularly needed to assist in the days leading up to Thanksgiving and to help clean up on Thursday evening and on Friday morning. In addition, the Hometown Committee is also seeking donations of cash, food, dinner supplies, and kitchen equipment.
POTTERSVILLE — Stagecoach Antiques & Home Décor is celebrating the beginning of its fifth year in business next weekend with an open house event featuring deep discounts on its wares. In celebration of the store’s fourth anniversary, Stagecoach Antiques proprietors will be offering discounts on Saturday and Sunday Nov. 7 and 8 of up to 20 percent on merchandise. Plus, shoppers will be offered an opportunity to register to win a $100 gift certificate redeemable in the shop, which is a cooperative made up of eight antiques and home décor businesses. Complimentary refreshments will be served as well. Named for its historic significance as a stagecoach stop for travelers to the Adirondack resorts and great camps, The Stagecoach is the brainchild of Bob & Floss Savarie, owners of Board and Batten Antiques in Olmstedville. The continued success of Stagecoach Antiques is due largely to the diversity of merchandise it carries, the Savaries said. “There is a little something for everyone, ranging from high quality antiques and vintage furniture to newer home decorator items and handcrafted gifts and games,” Floss Savarie said. The enterprise also carries a collection of Marian Heath greeting cards and Adirondack-styled Christmas ornaments. “Each of the eight dealers brings a little of their own personality to the shop making it a place where everyone can find something to take home,” Savarie said. The Stagecoach is open all year. Winter hours are Tuesday through Sunday — and on Monday holidays — from 11 a.m.until 5 p.m.For details, call 494-3192. All are invited to stop in at the open house and join in the celebration with the store’s proprietors, friends and customers, Savarie said.

North Warren Trailblazers
The Northern Warren Trailblazers would like to thank all the members and sponsors who made this year’s Fall Snowball at the clubhouse in Chestertown a huge success. Over 300 people were in attendance throughout the day for the swap meet and pig roast, complete with bonfires and bands throughout the evening. The 2009 Polaris sled raffle was won by Dan Hill of Adirondack, and other prizes donated by our sponsors were raffled off during the event. This successful event would not have been possible without the support of the local community and members. Thank you to everyone in attendance and we’ll see you on the trails! 45478

Address: 1050 E Schroon River Rd., Diamond Point. (No response by press time)
Thurman races Candidate for Supervisor: Lawrence M. “Red” Pitkin (Ic,I) Address: 837 Zaltz Rd., Athol Occupation: Thurman Town Supervisor, former log home builder. Education: Bachelor of Science in Business Administration Age: 56 Public office now held: Thurman Town Supervisor Public office held in past: member, Thurman Board of assessment Review, member, Warrensburg Central School Board of Education Qualifications for office: As Town Supervisor, we have cut town spending and taxes, improved financial controls, and have renovated the Town Hall at minimal cost while respecting its traditions. I’m active on the county Board of Supervisors, advocating common sense, promoting cost-cutting, fairness and integrity. I’m an Air Force veteran and 27-year resident of Thurman with strong family ties to our town. Leading campaign issues: Do we want Thurman to improve economically while we maintain the small-town values that we hold dear? Do we want a full-time, effective advocate for Thurman on the county Board of Supervisors? What I'd accomplish if elected: I will only support a county sales tax increase as a last resort to avoid double-digit county property tax increases and only with legal constraints on the use of the revenue. I will advocate long-term planning in Thurman — capital spending, high-speed Internet service and growth consistent with out rural heritage. I will face the tough issues of our time with hard work and integrity.
Candidate for Supervisor: Thomas “Tuck” Birdsall (R) Address: 50 Glen-Athol Rd., Athol Occupation: Professional farrier Education: AAS in Agriculture, SUNY Farmingdale; further at Cornell University. Age: 62 Public office now held: Chairman, Thurman Board of Assessors. Public office held in past: Member, Board of Assessment Review; 15 years of experience as a local local assessor — a total of nine years as chairman of the Board of Assessors. Qualifications for office: As a resident of Thurman most all of my life, my family has deep roots here. I have extensive knowledge of the town and its attributes, plus knowledge of assessment methodology and taxes. I’ve run a successful business for 40 years, which has given me skills in financial management and working well with others. Leading campaign issues: Keeping taxes low; understanding governmental budgeting practices and preparing realistic budgets; and controlling spending at the county level. I am opposed to raising the county sales tax to meet county budget deficits. The town needs to plan more — for years, its been shooting from the hip. We need to decide whether we need to invest in enhancing the town hall, or pursue constructing a new town garage to replace one that’s rapidly deteriorating — we need more long-range planning. What I'd accomplish if elected: I’d support an effort to get the highest possible price for the trash plant in its upcoming sale by exploring the option of opening up bids for the plant to parties other than the present plant operators who will be offering only $3.5 million or so for the plant. I’ll have several dangerous intersections
