By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — While people and or ganizations ar e mer ely talking about “going gr een,’ the Town of Chester is really doing something about it — in a big way. Within weeks, the government’s municipal buildings and other facilities acr oss town will be substantially energized by solar power.

Warrensburg/Bolton - Adirondack Journal - 5
Festive Christmas in Warrensburgh is a record-breaker thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Christmas in W arrensburgh or ganizer Teresa Whalen got an urgent message from Santa early in the day Saturday Dec. 3, a disclosure that was a surprise yet heartwarming. He’d only been on duty for a while during the annual event, but he’d alr eady gone through a crate of candy canes as he handed one out to each child. Making an emergency run to her purveyor, Whalen r e-supplied Santa with the allnatural variety of the holiday confection. Before Santa finished his stint outside the Warrensburg Town Hall — or Toyland, as it is called for one festive day each year — he went through 21 dozen candy canes, Whalen said. “We’ve never seen so many childr en — there wer e hundr eds and hundr eds of
them,” she said. “This year was definitely record-breaking for our Christmas in W arrensburgh weekend.” Through Satur day, the town hall was crammed with childr en delighted with the offerings of holiday craft activities, she said. “There wer e so many childr en — and adults, too — that we wer e beyond capacity,” Whalen said. “It was incr edible. We’ve never seen so many — ever.” The warm weather, Santa’s r eindeer, new activities around town and a lot of publicity helped draw a record crowd to the two-day event, she said. Folks enjoyed Santa and Mrs. Claus and their accompanying two live r eindeer, and particularly the craft sessions r un by Skye Gregson and Sudjai Bentley, Whalen said. Gregson helped childr en make whilygigs and other wooden toys, and Bentley guided them in making woven paper baskets, Origami-style, that wer e filled with fr esh gr eens
Holiday decor draws shoppers Film ‘Doubt’ viewing slated for Dec. 13 The award-winning 2008 movie “Doubt” will be presented at the Bolton Fre e Library at 7 p.m. T uesday, Dec. 13. The film is based on Director John Patrick Shanley’s Pulitzer -prize winning play that centers on a nun who confronts a priest after suspecting him of abusing a student. Starring Meryl Str eep and Philip Seymour Hof fman, “Doubt” featur es powerful writing and performances as well as timeless r elevance, critics have said. Noted critic Roger Ebert has said, “Doubt causes us to start thinking with the
first shot, and we never stop — Think how rare that is in a film.” All ar e invited to attend the free showing of the film, a pr esentation of the Marcella Sembrich Museum.
Winter Reading set for Library
Noted ar ea authors ar e scheduled to r ead fr om their short stories, memoir and poetry in the annual Winter Reading set for 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 14 in the Bolton Free Library. Hosted by The Friends of the Bolton Library, the r oster of authors includes T ed Caldwell, Doug Deneen, Shari Dufr esne, Lindsay Gates, and Ann Green. Refreshments will be served.
WINTER PARKING NOTICE TO WARRENSBURG RESIDENTS Please take notice that the Town Board has enacted the Winter Parking Schedule for the Town of Warrensburg pursuant to Chapter 198 of the Code of the Town of Warrensburg - ‘198-24 Winter Parking, ‘198-30 Authority to Impound Vehicles and ‘198-53 Schedule XX: Winter Parking. Winter parking is in effect from December 1, 2011 to April 1, 2012, 12 midnight to 6am for any public highway within the Town of Warrensburg. By order of the Warrensburg Town Board. Gerald E. Pennock, Highway Superintendent 20759
Folks engaged in gift shopping have enjoyed lavish holiday decor in downtown Bolton, thanks to the Bolton Landing Business Association members and a team of citizens. The charming smalltown lakeside ambiance is complete with white lights, greenery and traditional decorations chosen with a keen aesthetic eye. The volunteers really have a formidable accomplishment with their decorating work — and shoppers are appreciating the experience. The Business Association’s tree lighting celebration this past weekend was also a success. Activities included caroling around the town Christmas tr ee, a visit from Santa complete with gifts for childr en, musical entertainment, hayrides and refreshments.
Sister Catherine Schuyler, a 100-year-old local Catholic nun, recently retired, poses with Santa after they reminisced how Schuyler taught Mrs. Claus (Anne Wright) Spanish when she attended Catholic School decades ago in Troy. Photo by Mrs. Claus
and flowers. She also instructed them in creating miniatur e paintings. Also at T oyland, Girl Scouts and local students help children create ornaments and gingerbread houses. At Richards Library, Sarah Farrar read Polar Expr ess to a good cr owd of childr en, many garbed in pajamas. Santa made an appearance at this event, passing out silver bells, as is depicted in the holiday tale. The holiday tree-lighting ceremony Saturday night at the town bandstand, Whalen said, also dr ew a r obust cr owd, maybe the largest ever for the event. Boy Scouts had decorated the Floyd Bennett Memorial Bandstand with garlands of greens created from balsam boughs harvested at Art Brown’s local tree farm. They were decorated, like many other venues thr ough town, with big r ed bows cr eated singlehandedly by Lenore Smith, 94. Whalen reported that the town Christmas tree was the lar gest ever, because town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty had looked at the first one erected by town workers, and said “You guys can do better than that” — referring to its modest size. The tree that soon r eplaced it was so tall, Whalen said, that the local Girl Scouts were able to only decorate the lower portion of it. Whalen said the cr owd enjoyed music by the elementary school band, as well as caroling during the tree-lighting. They also enjoyed the steaming hot cocoa supplied by

Pam Morin, who arrived with a huge Thermos filled with the beverage — plus dozens of cookies — “in the nick of time,” Whalen said. The weather was balmy , with temperatures nearing 50 degrees — a far cry fro m the event’s first year , when Whalen’s hands nearly suffered frostbite when temperatures were as low as minus 20 degrees. The warm weather wasn’t all that was new this year. St. Cecilia’s Catholic Chur ch held several events that were well-attended. A Mini-Festival of T rees featur ed twofoot-tall trees decorated by members of the church’s Youth Mission gr oup, in a raf flestyle fundraiser held Saturday. The group’s Breakfast with Santa event on Sunday dr ew a considerable cr owd, said Gail DeMarsh, event coor dinator for the church. The Youth Mission members painted children’s faces while others shared conversations with Santa. “We were thrilled with the response,” DeMarsh said, noting that people came fro m all over the region to attend. Whalen said she was happy that so many people shared the traditional holiday spirit. “A lot of other ar eas have lost the tr ue meaning of community,” she said. “But it’s alive and well here in Warrensburg — We’re tight knit, we support each other , and it’s just so nice to come together at this time of year.”

Marine Academy a boost O to students, economy
T
he new Marine Academy scheduled to open at Ticonderoga High School next fall will be a welcome addition to the region’s education system and economy. Operated by Champlain Valley Educational Services and available to students from Glens Halls to Plattsburgh, the two-year program will prepare students for careers in the marine industry — a business that remains strong locally despite the national recession. The new venture has the backing of the Eastern New York Marine Trades Association, a group of marine professionals desperate for trained help. “There just aren’t enough marine technicians to fill all the jobs we have available,” explained Roger Phinney, executive director of the Eastern New York Marine Trades Association. “We have jobs. We want to hire people. We just can’t find them.” Marina owners and managers from Lake George, Bolton, Whitehall, Loon Lake, Diamond Point, Brant Lake, Schroon Lake, Hague and Ticonderoga attended an open house at the Marine Academy recently. They came away impressed. Rich Stolen, owner of Schroon Lake Marina and Loon Lake Marina, said every graduate of the Marine Academy will find a job immediately out of high school. “We’ll be fighting for them,” he said. Bob Palandrani, owner of Snug Harbor Marina in Ticonderoga and a member of the Ti school board, has been instrumental in the development of the Marine Academy. He stressed the program is about much more than mechanics. He said students will learn about every facet of the busi-
ness — fiber glass, painting, welding, woodworking, computers, sales and marketing. Many of those jobs, he pointed out, are year-round, full-time opportunities. That’s more than can be said for job prospects of many college graduates these days. The Marine Academy will also be a partnership between education and business, providing students with practical experience while giving marinas and others a trained workforce. Scott Andersen, manager of FR Smith and Sons Marina in Bolton, said he has been in contact with major marine manufacturers such as Mercury, Yamaha, Evinrude and Volvo. He believes those companies will support the the Ticonderoga Marine Academy by providing specialized tools, training materials and computer access. He believes academy graduates will be able to leave school with manufacturers’ certification — a huge asset in the marina industry. Andersen also believes the Marine Academy can also expand in the future to train adult technicians. The nearest Mercury training center is in New Hampshire, he noted, and the nearest Yamaha training center is in Georgia. The Marine Academy in Ticonderoga looks like a win-win situation for students and an important regional industry.

Adirondack Journal - 7 Lindsay claims he sent back another hog weighing 100 pounds less and he has sued the butcher to r ecover the difference in value.
•100 Years Ago – Dec. 1911• Motherless girl drinks acid Driven to desperation by constant br ooding over her lonely condition, Miss Rose L. Hewitt, a 20-year -old motherless girl, who formerly lived in Warrensburgh, committed suicide in Glens Falls Dec. 9, 1911 by drinking half an ounce of carbolic acid. She took the fatal dose shortly after 6 p.m. at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Pelletier, 3 W ashington St., wher e she boar ded. In spite of all that Dr . G.A. Chapman and Dr . Virgil D. Selleck could do for her , she died two hours later. The girl had been melancholy for some time. Several times she had been hear d to say, “Well, they are all gone and I want to go too,” evidently r eferring to her mother and brother who died some time ago. Her father is living in Herkimer and her two br others, W illiam and Geor ge Hewitt live ther e also. Another br other, Fr eeman Hewitt lives in Seattle, Wa. The family members ar e natives of Thurman and moved to that place fr om Warrensburgh 10 years ago to take r esidence in Burnhamville near the paper mill. After the death of the mother, the girl was left in the car e of her aunt, Mrs. Scott Ross. For a time she was employed at the Warrensburgh Shirt Factory befor e she moved to Glens Falls about thr ee years ago to work in the Leggett Box Company’s plant on Maple St. When Mrs. Pelletier went to Rose’s r oom to call her for supper, she discovered her lying across her bed in a semi-conscious condition with a small bottle in her hand. This is the second time that Rose has taken carbolic acid within six months, the former act was discovered in time to save her life. There is a persistent r umor that the girl
committed suicide because of being jilted by a young man who had paid her considerable attention until recently. The funeral was held at the Pelletier home and the body was taken to Warrensburgh for burial in the village cemetery by the side of her mother in the family plot.
Boy dies after tooth extraction
Cassius Everts, 17, son of W illiam V . Everts of Athol, died at his home Dec. 15, 1911 after a brief illness of blood poisoning following the extraction of a tooth. The boy had been bothered with an aching molar and came to Warrensburgh about ten days before his death and had it extracted. There was nothing unusual about the operation but the sor eness of the gum did not seem to subdue as quickly as expected but the young man was able to be out and about to do his usual duties at his father’s farm. Finally an abscess formed on the boy’s face and Dr. Allen Parker was called to see him. The patient’s condition, however , rapidly became worse and blood poisoning developed causing sever e suffering and pain until the end of his life finally came. Cassius Everts was a close companion of his father, always at home, cheerful and happy. He was a dutiful son. Besides his par ents, he is survived by two sisters, Grace and Marjorie Everts. Bear ers wer e John and Geor ge Lanfear, James Dow and Basil Gallup. Burial was in the Baker Cemetery.
Violent racist ‘prank’ punished
Patrick O’Rourke of Glens Falls has some original ideas regarding the nature of a joke. One night recently, Pat had a good “bun” on and while passing thr ough the Glens Falls “ghetto” was seized with a fit of humor which prompted him to pull the whiskers of Samuel Cohen and smash him in the head
with a stone. Cohen failed to see the joke and shouted for help. The residents responded to a man and Pat said he thought there was “a riot after him.” In the pursuit, Maurice Cohan, son of the assaulted Hebrew, fell and broke a leg. City Judge Merrill fined the festive O’Rourke $20 and 60 days in the county jail but later suspended the last part of the sentence.
Convicted of wife’s murder
The trial of George Quick of Kings Station, for the mur der of his wife at that place on Sept. 4, 1911, was completed Satur day, Dec. 16, 191 1 at Ballston and Quick was found guilty of mur der in the second degr ee. Justice J.A. Kellogg of Glens Falls, who pr esided at the trial, sentenced him to not less than 20 years at Dannemora Prison. The maximum of the sentence is the natural life of the prisoner. The trial began Dec. 11, 1911. The result of the jury’s deliberations was announced by foreman N. Lester Beswick of W ilton, formerly of Warrensburgh. The prisoner had nothing to say when he heard the verdict but appeared to be pleased with the outcome of the trial. Quick is 29, and it is doubtful that he will survive his long term in prison as he is thought to be dying of consumption (pulmonary tuber culosis). (Note…The complete story of the bru tal murder of Quick’s beautiful 25-year -old wife, who was shot in the back and dumped in the woodshed, appear ed in the Sept. 17, 2011 Adirondack Journal.)
Hog carcass switched?
Jerome Lindsay of Luzerne hir ed Tyrus Flanders, a butcher, to kill his hog. Flanders did the job and took the car cass to his market to dress it.
Treasure beyond price
Orley Wood, who went to San Francisco from Warrensburgh about two years ago, on Nov. 28, 1911 took unto himself a wife in the person of Miss Lillian McLeod of that city. Mr. Wood has a good position in the cutting department of Ulman, Selligsohn & Brown’s shirt factory . He writes his people here that he is pr osperous, contented and happy with a good wife, a tr easure beyond price, who has made his life still mor e attractive.
News roundabout
The Baptist Chur ch of North Thurman is to lose its pastor Jan. 1, 1912 as the Rev. Edwin H. Hovey has accepted a call fr om the church at Hagadorn Mills. Good luck to him while he is there! (Note: Rev. Hovey married Mary Hadden, the widow of Miles Fr ost of Thurman and moved to Hagadorn Mills with her and her two orphaned granddaughters, never to be heard from again.) Fred Reynolds of North Thurman, while skidding wood Dec. 8, 1911 , was hit by a pole just above the small of his back and has since been so lame and sor e that he could har dly get around. He is improving very slowly. Fred Barlow of Riverbank, who cut his foot some time ago, now can limp ar ound independent of crutches. Frank Smith’s ankle, which was badly jammed while he was skidding logs several days ago, has been very painful. C.W. Smith of Landon Hill, Chestertown, butchered a beef which weighed 626 pounds. D.B. Jenks butcher ed a yearling beef which dressed off with 400 pounds of fresh meat. Almina Mattison, 51, wife of Alfred Ward, died Dec. 1, 1911 at her home in Thurman. Stella Cameron, little daughter of John D. Cameron of Athol is dangerously ill with tuberculosis measles.
Letters to the Editor Cartoon was a cheap shot To the News Enterprise: I have to admit that I thought your “cartoon” on Republican Science was in poor taste. I wasn’t surprised at it since I feel your newspaper — like most — favors the Democrats on the state and national scene. However, I do not believe your paper favors either party on local issues. I will be tr uthful; I would have thought it was in poor taste even if it said “Democrat Science.” Let me explain why. As a county party chairman, I feel that my most important job is to get good quality people to run for local and county positions. Let us look at the supervisor’s position in almost any town in the county. The pay is very low for the r esponsibilities it has and the amount of time it requires. Not only do you have the town pr oblems, but also you have to deal with the county problems. Both have been complicated by the state’s 2 per cent property cap. You r emember how that was sold by Albany: “We know we have to eliminate any new unfunded mandates and limit those unfunded mandates alr eady in place.” How has that been working for the North Country? So we have a poorly paid position with unrealistic constraints, impossible pr oblems, the expectations that no matter what you do on any issue you will be making enemies. You have to cut programs you can, not those you might pr efer. Now as a bonus, along with any other politician, I open your paper and get a cheap shot attempt at humor . I know you ar e a r egistered Republican. W e are looking for a candidate for supervisor in your town for 2013. Are you interested Dan? Sincerely, Ron Jackson Essex County Republican Committee Chairman
Mixed feelings about editorial
To Adirondack Journal: I am a life-long r esident of T upper Lake and read your editorial with inter est, about how my community was under siege. First, I must say that I find it honorable and amazing how North Country communities are always willing to stand up for each other. I also whole heartedly agr ee with almost everything you had to say about the Adirondack Club and Resort pr oject. This proposed development certainly has the potential to bring residents, tourists and jobs to Tupper Lake and could very likely be one of the largest economic boosts the North Country has seen since the Olympics. The developers of this project have faced fierce attacks from environmental groups for many years, yet have persisted with their goal of building a world-class resort in Tupper Lake that
will include the re-opening of Big Tupper Ski Area. The resort has wide-spread community support and will hopefully r eceive approval from the Adirondack Park Agency in the near future. I must however, disagree with the second part of your editorial that attacks the Adirondack Recr eational T rail Advocates (ARTA) for promoting the creation of a recreation trail connecting the tri-lakes. I believe the cr eation of a trail such as this, would bring much mor e economic benefit to T upper Lake than r estoring train service a few days a week for several months out of the year. A world-class recreation trail could be used year-round by locals and tourists alike for hiking, biking, running and skiing. The removal of the tracks would also allow for an extended snowmobile season on an easily groomed trail into Tupper Lake. I have utilized trails such as this in the past and found them to be an extr emely popular tourist attraction. This pr oposed trail also r uns alongside two lar ge state-owned campgrounds that average appr oximately 180,000 visitors a year. The majority of these campers bring bicycles with them and could potentially take a scenic ride into T upper Lake for the day because we ar e only 7 or 8 miles away. I believe that most people visit the Adirondacks for the purpose of hiking, biking, camping and skiing, not to ride a train. I could continue with what I believe to be the benefits of a multi-use, all-season recreation trail, but hopefully you see my point. The bad side to this ar gument is that the railroad tracks would have to be torn up to create this trail and a lot of ef fort has gone into r estoring train service to T upper Lake by the Next Stop! Tupper Lake committee. I have also supported the train in the past, but recognize a good idea when I hear one, and now fully support the cr eation of a r ecreation trail connecting the tri-lakes. Ther e are also many mor e community members who support the creation of a trail in Tupper Lake and no one believes our r estored train station would go to waste, as it could be utilized as a welcome center , museum, café or bike rental shop to name few. The bottom line is that there are no outside groups or envir onmentalists at work her e. The ARTA has pr oposed building a world class recreation trail in the tri-lakes that has the potential to bring many tourists and outdoor enthusiasts to T upper Lake to enjoy a peaceful, healthy, backcountry experience. The question is, can the residents of Tupper Lake agree on which option would be better for our community? It’s too bad a ecreation r trail wasn’t pr oposed earlier, but I support beginning a new campaign titled “First Stop! Tupper Lake” and utilizing our r estored
train station as a welcome center to gr eat new visitors as they begin their journey down the Gr eat Adirondack Recr eation Trail! Chris Keniston Tupper Lake

Tupper Laker dislikes editorial
Alexander from page 6 again? But do these unattainable standards rest with the public or is it the media that takes an issue and blows it up beyond proportion. Americans gravitate to perceived winners and we are quick to jump onto and then back off the bandwagons based on the attention given by the media outlets. Like a scab, that we just won’t let heal, we continue to pick at it until it become far
worse than when it started out. Our collective logic over the years has been if you can’t be trusted in your private life how can we trust you in the public arena. Yet President Clinton, despite his private flaws, proved he could compartmentalize the issues and served very effectively as the leader of the country. In the end we must decide what is the more important; a flawed candidate who can lead the country back to prosperity or selecting a candidate who
appears near perfect and says the right things but is unable to address the wide array of issues affecting the nation. Is the election about the person, the job performance or the party? As is the case every four years, if nothing else, it’s always entertaining, but in 2012 we need to look beyond the feel good beauty contest and hire a leader who can solve the many issues affecting our country.

Benefit set for mother who’s facing cancer
Julie Mosher Packer (right rear) poses with her husband Michael, their twin children Courtney and Connor, and Julie’s mother Edna Mosher in April on the oc casion of Edna’s 80th birthday party.
CHESTERTOWN — Julie Mosher Packer , a 47-year -old mother of twins, has a formidable challenge ahead of her, having recently been diagnosed with stage-four stomach cancer. But her sister, Marylou Pierson, said this week that Packer ’s up for the challenge, particularly with the str ong support of friends, family and community. That support will undoubtedly be expr essed on Sunday , Dec. 1 1 when the community rallies behind her by attending the chicken ‘n’ biscuit fundraiser party set for noon to 5 p.m. at the Chestertown Firehouse on state Route 8. “We all want Julie to enjoy this event before she gets in too much pain fr om her therapy ,” Pierson said. Packer ’s affliction was discovered after she went to the doctor in August, after enduring considerable pain, Pierson said. Glens Falls Hospital gave her preliminary tests Aug. 31, and Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City confirmed that she had stage-four stomach cancer , according to Pierson. The news hasn’t dimmed her
zest for life. “Julie’s r eally in good spirits. She doesn’t even talk about not beating it,” Pierson said. Pierson added that Packer is embraced in the love of family — her husband Michael, and their twins Courtney and Connor — as well as many friends. The twins’ classmates at North Warren Central School r ecently expressed such affection to Julie, who has been a worker in the school cafeteria. The students of Eileen Lawrence and Poul Carstensten’s fifth-grade classes sent car ds to Julie, in support of her “kicking cancer.” The young students also wear periwinkle blue to show their support. Julie said T uesday she deeply appreciated everyone’s calls, expressing support, of fering to help, and cooking up food and sending it to her house for her family. “The support I’ve had fr om so many people is just ‘out of this world,’” she said. “W e live in such a wonderful community.” She said that in day-to-day life,
most people don’t fathom how strong the community bond is — until such a challenge occurs. “It’s tr uly a blessing to hear from each and every single person,” she said. Julie is also sure to witness the support during the upcoming fundraiser, which includes music by the r enowned Stephen L. Smith Band — one of Julie’s favorites — and the gro up “Flipside 420.” Besides r ousing music, the event includes raf fling of f gift baskets and other activities. The suggested donations ar e $10 for adults and $5 for childre n, or $25 per family. Proceeds are to create a fund for her childr en, as Julie is not presently working. To send a donation dir ectly, mail it to: Julie Packer , 10 Ferris Road, Chestertown NY 12817. Pierson said that Julie’s positive spirit lights up the lives of those around her. “The kids need her, we all need her,” Pierson said. “She needs a miracle, but we’r e going have a miracle, there’s no question about it. Julie’s In very good spirits — she’s going to beat this!”

Champlain Valley Tech to open Marine Academy in 2012 By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Good help is har d to find, especially if you operate a marina. “There just ar en’t enough marine technicians to fill all the jobs we have available,” explained Roger Phinney, executive director of the Eastern New York Marine Trades Association. “We have jobs. W e want to hir e people. We just can’t find them.” That’s why Phinney’s gr oup and marina owners fr om the r egion ar e supporting the new marine academy being established at Ticonderoga High School in its new state-ofthe-art technology center. Scheduled to open next September , the Marine Academy will be operated by Champlain Valley Tech and will be available to students from Glens Halls to Plattsburgh. A two-year pr ogram, it will be limited to 13 students. Marina owners have said they can’t wait until the first class graduates. “We’ll be fighting for them,” said Rich
Stolen, owner of Schr oon Lake Marina and Loon Lake Marina. “Those 13 kids will have no problem finding work.” The program was outlined during a pr esentation Nov. 18 to school officials and students from six high schools including Lake George and Bolton. Also attending were representatives of FR Smith and Sons Marina in Bolton, Schr oon Lake Marina, Loon Lake Marina, Yankee Boating Center in Diamond Point, Performance Marine in Bolton, EZ Marine & Storage in Brant Lake and Snug Harbor Marina in Ticonderoga. The Marine Academy not only covers mechanical instruction, but work in fiberglass, painting, welding, woodworking, computers, sales, and marketing. Many of the available jobs ar e year-round, full-time opportunities. Scott Andersen, manager of FR Smith & Sons Marina in Bolton, said he has been in contact with major marine manufactur ers and these companies ar e likely to support the marine academy by pr oviding specialized tools and training materials.
Technology. Andersen added that the academy could expand in the futur e to train adult technicians. The nearest Mercury training center is in New Hampshire, and the nearest Yamaha training center is in Georgia, he said.
“Hopefully we can get to the point where kids can leave here with manufacturer ’s certification,” Andersen said. Andersen said he envisions that the academy will link up with a local college to off er an Associates Degr ee pr ogram in Marine

Trashing rechargeable batteries now illegal in NY By Andy Flynn
andy@denpubs.com
ALBANY — On Monday, Dec. 5 it became illegal in New York state to throw rechargeable batteries in the garbage. Recycling is now the mandate, as residents are required to drop off their used rechargeable batteries at retailers who sell them. Retailers had been required to accept the batteries beginning June 8, and they must post signs informing consumers about these requirements. Manufacturers, retailers and consumers are all affected by the new law, which was signed by former Gov. David Paterson on Dec. 10, 2010. The law took effect Dec. 5. People who ar e caught putting used r echargeable batteries in the garbage will be fined $50 for the first offense; $100 for the second; and $200 for the third. The state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is responsible for enforcement. “When we learn that people ar e not complying with the law, we will fine them,” said DEC Public Information Officer Lisa King, based in Albany. While the DEC will not be r oaming the curbsides looking for batteries in garbage cans, they may take action based on complaints from people such as landlords and garbage companies, King said. The new law covers the following types of r echargeable batteries: nickel-cadmium; sealed lead; lithium ion; nickel metal hydride; any other such dry cell battery capable of being recharged; and battery packs containing any of the abovementioned batteries. The law does not cover: any of the above-mentioned batteries/packs weighing 25 pounds or more; batteries used as the principal power source for a vehicle, such as an automobile, boat, truck, tractor, golf cart or wheelchair; batteries for storage of electricity generated by an alternative power source, such as solar or wind-driven generators; batteries for backup that is an integral component of an electro nic device; or any non-r echargeable batteries such as common alkaline batteries. Manufacturers are required to collect the batteries and recycle them, and the goal is to keep toxic chemicals out of landfills.

preparing tax rolls, advises in investigating tax r oll errors, and administers the disposition of tax-delinquent property. The office's personnel also works with the county Board of Supervisors in setting pr operty tax rates — in conjunction with state tax officials. Delurey said Dec. 1 that she's learned all the functions of the Real Pr operty office fr om the gr ound up, having started as an account clerk/typist in the department 12 years ago. Since then, she has been promoted several times. She served for years as a Property Information Specialist befor e she was pr omoted in Oct. 2007 to Deputy Director.
She said this week that if she is indeed is chosen to lead the department, she feels comfortable in taking on the duties since she has gained knowledge of all aspects of the work. Such tasks include examining tax maps and assuring they are accurate, and compr ehending the legal descriptions contained in deeds. “There's a four -year learning curve involved in working in the Real Pro perty office,” she said. Delurey said that when she was first hired, the Real Property of fice conducted their work merely with paper r ecords. During her tenur e, she helped in computerization and indexing of the vast amounts of information, including historical data on each land par cel, she added.

Ministry lauds volunteers as it celebrates 20th
WARRENSBURG — “Faith-filled people helping others” is how Sister Fran Husselbeck, North Country Ministry founder, described the agency she helped launch during a luncheon held for Ministry volunteers recently. In 1992, Sister Fran Husselbeck, North Country Ministry founder , and Sister Mary Flynn, seeking new challenges, came to the North Country at the urg ing of Bishop Howar d Hubbard of Albany. They approached many churches in the area to find where the need was. At the luncheon held at Holy Cr oss Chur ch in W arrensburg on Nov.16, Husselbeck was on a panel of five who discussed their involvement with the or ganization from its beginning 20 years ago. The other four were Sister Mary Brady, part of the original founding group and a past staff member; Mary Mor o of North Creek, the first Boar d president; Kathy Dorman, secr etary of the Boar d for many years; and Father Paul Cox,
former pastor of Sacr ed Heart Chur ch in Lake George which pr ovided funding for the agency from the beginning — along with St. James Chur ch in North Creek and St. Cecilia’s Church in Warrensburg. North Country Ministry is an ecumenical, not-for-profit outreach organization that provides services to individuals and families in need in northern W arren County . The agency serves over 1,000 people monthly and covers an ar ea over 600 squar e miles. Their services include supportive counseling, advocacy and r eferral, a mealsite, a family clothing shop, furniture donations, an emergency assistance fund, parenting support, housing rehabilitation and adult living units. During the 20 years since North Country Ministry was founded, the outr each organization has grown from a staff of two and a budget of $45,000 to a staff of 12 and a $300,000 budget. They worked out of Leaven House in North Creek.

North Country Ministry has sparked a number of outreach efforts in the area. With a few volunteers the

cial dining for those who needed food or companionship.

Today the Gathering Place serves 30 to 40 lunches twice a week. At the W arrensburg Pr esbyterian Church. In January of 1993, a Thrift Store was established in the W arrensburg Chamber of Commerce building. Some years later the Methodist Chur ch in North Cr eek donated their renovated barn to stor e donated furnitur e which in 2010 served 300 families. Throughout the 20 years, a caseworker has been available for advocacy and referrals. Half of the 100 volunteers were pr esent at the celebratory luncheon and wer e shown appr eciation. They were encouraged by Sister Fran who urged them to “let your lives in God flow over into the lives of others.” Sister Mary Brady concluded that for 20 years the mission of North Country Ministry has been based on one enduring principle: “Love one another.”

Ti man wants to attract breweries to region Beer could become major contributor to local economy By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com
TICONDEROGA — Ken T ucker believes beer could be an economic for ce in the Adirondacks. The Ticonderoga man has embarked on a project to attract small bre weries throughout the region. He believes the effort will result in $3 billion in revenue a year and 5,000 jobs in 15 years. “It’s the right time, it’s the right place,” Tucker said of his plan. “It’s just a matter of making it happen and I’m the guy for it.” The key in Tucker ’s vision is “blue gold” — the 10 trillion gallons of fr esh water that flows from the Adirondacks each year . Water is the key ingr edient in beer , he noted, making this area a prime location for br eweries. Tucker lived 12 years in Or egon, wher e small breweries thrive. Craft br ewing is r e-
sponsible for $3 billion in revenue each year and 5,000 jobs in Oregon, he said. Tucker believes the industry can do the same thing in the Adirondack Park. To make his pr oject a r eality, Tucker has applied to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service to cr eate a “EB-5 r egional center” in theAdirondacks. Those centers are eligible to accept for eign investment in exchange for immigration consideration. The program allows for eign investors to get green car ds if they meet an investment threshold. “There’s a lot of money outside the U.S. looking for investment opportunities,” Tucker said. “Why not bring that money to the Adirondacks?” Tucker hopes to have approval of the “regional center” application in February. The closest “regional center” to the area is Jay Peak, Vt., he said, where 400 foreign investors have pumped $200 million into the local ski industry. Tucker is confident for eign investors will want to take advantage of the Adirondack water to operate nano-br eweries, br ew-
pubs, r estaurant-breweries, micr o-breweries and regional breweries. Vermont has the lar gest number of br eweries, per capita, in the United States, Tucker noted. “The Adirondack Park is about the size of Vermont; we have about the same population,” he said. “Why can’t the Adirondacks of New York have the same footprint? V ermont exports a lot of beer and imports a lot of money. We can do that, too.” While he awaits federal appr oval of the “regional center ,” Tucker is contacting potential investors and investigating possible locations for breweries. To date he has identified six spots he feels are ideal for the pr oject — in Cr own Point, Keeseville, Saranac Lake, Lake Placid and Plattsburgh. The Cr own Point location is the former Porter ’s Mill stor e — the old Agway — on Route 9N. “It sits right on Putts Creek with plenty of pure, clean water and has a wonderful view,” Tucker said of the Crown Point spot. “I think it’s a great location.”
Bethany Kosmider, Crown Point supervisor, agrees. “Ken Tucker met with me a few weeks ago and it is quite appar ent there is an inter ested business, a micr o-brewery,” said Kosmider, who is leaving of fice Dec. 31. “I’m sorry this didn’t happen while I was in office, but at least it’s gotten started.” Once the br eweries ar e up and r unning, Tucker hopes to cr eate a distribution network thr ough the Adirondack Br ewers Coalition. The project will impact the local economy in a number of ways, T ucker said. Historic buildings that now sit vacant will be r enovated into br eweries, pubs and r estaurants. Plants will hire workers. Local farmers will be able to grow hops, a necessary ingredient in beer making. “You’ve got to see the big pictur e,” he said. “We’ll start with small br eweries and grow fr om ther e. Soon Adirondack br ews will have a cachet and value equal to ‘made in Vermont.’ We’re close and I couldn’t be more excited.”

Some like it hot A
ccording to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), global temperatures for the year of 2011, currently rank as the tenth highest since records were first established in 1850. Scientists, who believe global warming is responsible for the continuing drop in Arctic sea ice, watched as the ice pack reached its lowest recorded levels again this year. Climate change is happening, and it appears to be accelerating. Doubters should consider the facts. Until 2011 is retired to the history books, the top ‘Hottest Years on the Planet” occurred in 2010, 1998, 2005, 2003, 2002, 2009, 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2001. Our wild weather is also getting windier. Six of the top ten wind records have been established since 1998. The last ten Spring seasons, spanning the years from 2002-2011 were among the windiest and driest 10-year period on record, capping a clear upward trend that began in the mid-1990s. While skeptics remains, it is obvious that the climate has changed. Anyone who spends time outdoors has come to recognize that the weather is getting both warmer, and wetter and windier. It stands to reason that water will evaporate more rapidly as temperatures continue to rise, and temperatures will increase. This increase in evaporation will result in greater and more frequent precipitation. Fortunately, the majority of our local precipitation came as snow last winter, but when it did rain; it came down in buckets. Eventually, last year ’s snowpack combined with the heavy spring rains to cause flooding that raised havoc from the High Peaks to Lake Champlain, and beyond. The spring floods of 2011 were responsible for establishing new records across the region for both lake and river levels. And while the spring floods were labeled as “100 year flood” events, heavy rains in the early fall of 2011, soon eclipsed them with a “500 year flood” event. Fortunately, the most recent floods were not compounded by a dense snowpack. The heavy rains were enough to cause severe damage, all alone.
Adirondack Outdoors - Adirondack Journal - 19
After reviewing articles that I've written at the completion of the Big Game Hunting Season, since 2000, the anecdotal evidence of climate change is painfully obvious. Here are a few to consider. 2000: End of the huntThe unpredictable fall weather continues to confound hunters… with weather changing from 10 degrees below and snow to 45 degrees and rain…the grass is still green with no snowflakes in sight, even the hills are no longer white. 2001: With the end of the season quickly approaching, warm weather combined with a lack of snow has stunted deer movement. The major complaint coming from hunters was the fact that the “woods remained brown” for the majority of the season. 2002: With no snow, the primary woodland color remains brown, another distinct advantage for the deer. Rain, which is expected by the weekend, further compounds the hunter ’s disadvantage as it keeps scent low to the ground and generally makes for uncomfortable travel. 2003: With the continued warm weather patterns and the lack of snow, the Regular Big Game Hunting season drawing to a close on Sunday; it appears this year will be one of the brownest in recent memory, as the snow cover has been quite scarce throughout the entire hunting season. 2004: Deer hunters lament the continuation of the unseasonably warm weather. The weather continues to confound hunters while other outdoor enthusiasts such as anglers, hikers, bikers and birders delight in the current conditions. Thanksgiving passed without a trace of snow, as weather patterns delivered heavy rains, high winds and warmer than average temperatures. The weather just didn’t cooperate with hunters this year. 2005: The weather has remained balmy with no snow in sight. Even in the high country, the remaining snows have melted due to weather conditions more typical of June
Despite the effects of climate change, the Adirondack region has managed to retain enough snow cover to permit the continuation of most winter sports. than December. I gaze out the window in the last throes of the season and the thermometer reads 63 degrees. I watch as winds gusting rip limbs off the trees in my side yard. 2006: The Regular Big Game season will conclude at sunset on Sunday, December 7 in the Northern Zone and reports concerning hunter success are mixed. Hunters continue to lament autumn’s unseasonably warm weather, which has disrupted the hunting season and stunted the movement of wildlife. 2007: As I write this column, a heavy snow continues to fall. Although a consistent tracking snow was lacking for the majority of the hunting season, conditions have been far better than the previous four seasons…. when last weekend’s storm subsided on Saturday evening, deer that had been down for two days were finally on the move 2008: The unusual weather patterns, with warmer temperatures and a lack of consistent snow, are now the standard in most areas of the Adirondacks. It would be difficult for any North Country hunter to question the reality of climate change as it has become as obvious as the brown ground underfoot. 2009: The Last Big Hunt: Thanksgiving weekend has long been considered a benchmark that signals the rapid transition from fall to winter. However, it has not been a very reliable indicator. This season, hunters have gone without any significant snow cover. It's been another brown season. 2010: The northern zone big game hunting season, will end with less than a full week of snow on the ground. It was not unexpected. For years, the big game season has remained nearly snowless. 2011: Ditto the remarkable remarks listed above. Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

Chestertown man honored for military, community service By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — Bearing flags, a silvery bugle and solemn expressions, veterans stood at attention while county and state off icials recounted the military service of the late Frederick J. V etter, a pillar of the Chestertown community for decades. The cer emony was held Monday Dec. 5 in the W arren County Municipal Center. Vetter was a Medical Aidman in the U.S. Army, serving in the 10th Mountain Division during World War II from 1943 to 1945 in the Apennine Mountains and Po Valley Italy. After the war, he returned to the North Country , representing the thir d generation of V etters working in his family's hardware stor e – after attending St. Lawr ence University and earning a degree in Business Administration. Vetter sold the business in 1967, then worked with local surveyors Bill Brannon and Joseph LaFlure. He also worked as a full-time professional ski patrolman for 17 years at Gore Mountain Ski Center. During these years, he worked on the family's tr ee farm. His community service includes membership in the Chestertown Fir e Department for about 33 years, serving as Fir e Chief from 1961 to 1964. He also served on the T own of Chester Zoning Boar d of Appeals, the Advisory Board to Emerson Bank in W arrensburg, and the Advisory Board of the Chester-Horicon Health Center. Warren County Board of Supervisors Chairman Dan Stec noted that Vetter's dedication was r eflected in the six military medals he received, including the Purple Heart. Stec gave the V etter family members a pr oclamation declaring Dec. 5 as Frederick Vetter Day in his honor. “We all appreciate his life and everything he's done for our community, not only in the U.S. Military service overseas, but right here,” Stec said. The solemn r ecognition of Vetter's service to his country was the latest of dozens of “Honor a Deceased Veteran” ceremonies held in Warren County since the program started in 2002. Chester Supervisor Fred Monroe said he and Vetter were friends. “Fred Vetter was a fixtur e in the town of Chester , and he accomplished all kinds of good things for local citizens,” Monroe said. Daniel MacEntee, representing state Sen. Betty Little, presented the Vetter family with the state Senate Liberty Medal honoring Fred Vetter ’s service. The award was on behalf of the New York Division of Military and Naval Affairs. “This is the state Senate’s highest honor,” MacEntee said. “He was an outstanding veteran that meant a lot to his community.” County Supervisor -Elect Mark W escott, an aide to U.S.

Rep. Chris Gibson, pr esented the Vetter family with a flag that had been flown over the U.S. Capitol. That flag is to be flown for 30 days over the W arren County Municipal Center, then returned to the Vetter family for posterity. Vetter ’s daughter , Jackie V etter-Avignon, talked of how right after her father had graduated fro m Chestertown High school, he left his hometown to train at Camp Hale, high in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. There, he prepared for alpine winter warfare. Among the training exer cises, wer e when soldiers stayed out in the wilds, enduring bitter cold, for up to four weeks in canvas tents. It was Fr ed Vetter ’s experiences in the Rockies, she said, that prompted his love of the outdoors and inter est in skiing. Vetter-Avignon brought to the ceremony photos and memorabilia of bygone days, and they sparked considerable dis-
cussion and r eminiscing that lasted about an hour at a r eception that followed. Fellow members of the 10th Mountain Division, including Phil Santasier o of Johnsbur g, attended the event, as did friends and family members. Jackie’s husband, Nick Avignon, noted that he passed on his love of skiing to Jackie, who also was a ski patr ol member, Avignon said. “No one was more of an Adirondacker than Fred was,” he said. Vetter ’s love of the high peaks was passed on to yet another generation, as the Avignon’s son Christian, Fr ed Vetter ’s grandson, now lives and works a few miles fr om that former military outpost. “Fred Vetter won’t be for gotten,” Avignon said. “W e r emember his service to his nation and his family — we miss him.”
Chester solar from page 1 if not all of the power used by the espective r facilities. The arrays ar e 150 feet long and about 16 feet in depth. The equipment, representing tens of thousands of dollars, will not cost the local taxpayers anything — in fact, the taxpayers are guaranteed savings on their electricity bills. While Edge Design is paying for the equipment and installation, the town is guaranteed savings of 10 to 25 per cent on the electricity usage for the life of the contract, or 10 years, Chester Supervisor Fre d Monroe said. “It seems like a good deal,” Monroe said. “We could probably save more over the long term if we hired engineers, designed and installed the panels and equipment ourselves, but we’d be undertaking financial risks,” he said. “It makes sense to me to sign this lease agreement and have guaranteed savings for the taxpayers — and it may up a lower cost overall anyway.” As a private entity , the consulting gr oup can receive subsidies and tax breaks for the equipment investment not available to the town, Monroe added. Also, the private company takes on the risks of damage due to vandalism or electrical storms, as well as changing technology and variable energy markets. Although a pr oposal was consider ed to sign up for a 20-year lease, both parties decided to settle on 10 years because technology could change, making the existing panels obsolete, Monroe said. When the lease is up, the installation may be available for purchase to extend the savings, Monroe said, noting that the solar arrays are expected to last 20 years or more. Monroe said that existing electric bills paid to National Grid ar e $12,000 per year for the health center, $22,000 per year for the municipal center , and almost $1 1,000 per year for the transfer station town garage and recycling center complex. He said that savings overall could be $40,000 to $50,000 over the life of the contract.
POWERING THE FUTURE: Town of Chester landfill and recycling attendant Lou Lashomb walks past an arra y of solar panels, one of t wo installations 150 feet long, that will power the town transfer station, town garage complex, and Chester recycling center. The town of Chester is converting to solar power to provide electricity for all their facilities, including the Chester-Horicon Health Center, the town highway garage, the Chester Municipal Center, and the Dynamite Hill complex. Local energy officials say Chester is leading the way in employing such alternative energy sources. Photo by Thom Randall
“We’ll be saving taxpayers money while giving back to the environment,” he said. Winslow Moor e of Edge Consulting said that the solar panel arrays pr oduce 25,000 watts, or 31,250 kilowatt-hours each per year. He declined to estimate total savings, noting that calculating the sum was complex because National Grid’s prices change according to peak demand periods. Monroe said he was first intro duced to the idea in a presentation before the Adirondack local Government Review Boar d by one of Edge’s engineers. The solar arrays ar e partially hidden in
each site they ar e installed. The ones at the Municipal Center are just south of the complex towards the building’s rear, and the one by the health center is adjacent to the cemetery. At the town transfer station, two arrays are in the r ear by the cover ed landfill, and provide electricity for all the public works buildings at the complex. At Dynamite Hill, the array is behind and to the left of the Chamber of Commer ce building. It’s main purpose is to supply the electricity for the town water system pumping station. It also powers the warming hut building.
Monroe said that he and town boar d members wer e inter ested in boosting the town government’s self-sustainability while r educing costs. The town is now also looking to install a new furnace for the town hall that burns wood pellets or chips rather than heating fuel. “One of the goals discussed among leaders in the Adirondacks is to become ener gy efficient and not rely on outside sources,” he said. “Solar power wind ener gy and wood pellets or biomass is the way of the future — and it’s the right thing to do.”
