Ancient LG weapons on display in New York Museum

LAKE GEORGE

Big Apple Circus not returning

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com

LAKE GEORGE — Historical exhibits of the ancient Native American weapons unearthed earlier this year near Million Dollar beach parking lot are likely to be featured in Lake George as well as in the New York State Museum in Albany, village Mayor Robert Blais told his municipal trustees Dec. 16.

Blais said staff members of the State Museum visited Lake George on Dec. 12 to review the suitability of the village Visitors Center as a potential site for a display of these ancient arrowheads, stone knives and a large spear head.

A preliminary viewing case for displaying the relics has already been installed in the main lobby of the museum in downtown Albany, state Museum spokeswoman Antonia Valentine said Dec. 17.

Emails to Blais from past state Museum Director James Blau cite “enormous public interestÓ in the artifacts, and mention establishing a display of the relics in the Lake George CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

Perched in a horse-drawn wagon during the recent Christmas in Warrensburgh fest, Santa elicits a smile from a boy after inquiring about his holiday wishes. The annual festival held recently was warmly received by both local residents and visitors due to its traditional small-town aspects.

While secular events in the region are winding down this week, church services and spiritually oriented activities are increasing.

‘Magic Salt’working well in village

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Use of rock salt coated with a gooey natural distillery residue for spreading on local roadways is believed to be curbing environmental degradation while reducing corrosion to vehicles and village infrastructure.

Lake George Village Public Works Su-

perintendent Dave Harrington said at a village board meeting Dec. 16 that the use of a product called Magic Salt on the village streets was working well — keeping roadways safe while reducing road salt usage.

Magic Salt is composed of rock salt coated with a sweet gooey swill left over from distilling alcoholic beverages. The concoction sticks to the road better than

untreated rock salt and keeps roadways less slippery at lower temperatures, according to reports.

Highway officials have said that it takes up to 50 percent less Magic Salt on roadways to prevent freeze-up than regular rock salt, which decreases chloride pollution of waterways and groundwater.

Harrington said the substance has cut CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

In a spirit of collaboration, members of the committee — which represents a cross-section of stakeholders in the airport Ñ discussed a variety of ideas to promote the airport and boost its use and revenue.

Queensbury resident Harrison Freer, chosen by the Glens Falls Pilots’ Association to represent their interests on the committee, suggested that the airport be marketed to pilots who have fractional ownership in aircraft — like time-shares in resort property —

which he said was a growing trend.

“We should make this airport an attractive home for such group owners of aircraft,” he said. “It represents a lot of win-win opportunities.”

Big Apple not returning to LG

By Thom Randall

Route 9, Chestertown

December 21, 2013

LAKE GEORGE — The renowned Big Apple Circus, acclaimed for its artistry and its intimacy, wonÕ t be returning to Lake George for 2014, village Mayor Robert Blais announced Dec. 16.

The circus, which had presented world-class performers in a big top in Lake George for two weeks during July 2012 and 2013, won’t be back in the village next year due to slow ticket sales they experienced, Blais said at a village board meeting held Monday. Ò The attendance was less than the level necessary for the circus to meet its expenses, he said, citing a letter from the not-for-profit circus’ General Manager Tom Larson. Blais said that ticket sales were particularly slow last summer.

Blais said that the circus officials had said Lake George was the circus personnel’s favorite venue, but the enterprise’s board of directors decided not to return this next summer.

“Lake George was a favorite stop of the performers and staff who wanted to come back very badly, but the Board of Directors decided not to,” Blais said.

People in the region considered the circus a re-

markable cultural asset. Blais said the circus management is leaving the door open to come back for an engagement in future years, however.

Blais said the circus would have enjoyed substantially better attendance is it weren’t for sunny weather, a lack of awareness of the shows, construction occurring on West Brook Road around the Charles Wood Park which hosted the circus’ traditional “big top” tent. Blais also cited the competition that Lake George offers with its many available activities.

“The circus competed with Lake George,” he said, noting the circus performances prompted rave reviews. “The Big Apple Circus folks were great folks to work with, and they all loved Lake George. Hopefully, they will decide at some point to come back.”

Lake George Chamber of Commerce President Michael Consuelo, who helped Blais in negotiating their initial engagements, said he was disappointed with the decision to bypass Lake George in 2014. Ò ItÕ s sad they are not returning, and weÕ re hopeful they will come back in future years,” he said. “Meanwhile, we’ll be bringing in other attractions into the park’s festival space to fill the void.”

APA approves option 2A for former Finch land classification

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — It was a task that took a lot of time and a lot of compromise.

That is what members of the Adirondack Park Agency Board of Commissioners said Dec. 13 as they moved the classification recommendations on four parcels of land purchased by the state of New York from the Nature Conservancy, who had previously bought the same tracts from Finch and Pruyn.

The purchase included lands known as the Essex Chain Lakes Tract, Indian River Tract, OK Slip Falls Tract and the OSC Tract.

The board also recommended the reclassification of existing state lands in the adjacent Hudson River Primitive Area, Blue Mountain Wild Forest and Vanderwhacker Mountain Wild Forest.

The commissioners opted for preferred alternative 2A, dependent upon a bridge being constructed to connect lands across the Cedar River. The option called for a mix of land classifications, creating five new Forest Preserve Units and a multi-use Wild Forest corridor between the Primitive and Wilderness Units.

With approval, APA Executive Director Terry Martino will complete the SEQRA process before APA Board of Commissioners Chairwoman Leilani Ulrich sends the proposal to the desk of Gov. Andrew Cuomo for final approval.

After two full days of meetings focused on the land classification, Ulrich gave each member of the board a chance to speak on the matter before asking for a vote.

“It has been a remarkable time for the Adirondacks,” Ulrich said. “From the entire state going forward on Propositions 4 and 5 to the regional council economic awards. I hope we can all have some time over the holidays to assimilate what that has all meant.”

Ulrich also gave credit to the governor for being an advocate of the Adirondacks.

“I thank the governor not only for his leadership and encouragement but also his love for the Adirondacks,” she said. “You can see the new excitement in the park because of what

he has done. With these steps, 130,000 Adirondackers have truly been connected to 19 million New Yorkers.” Ò This resolution strongly protects the resources both on the east side of the Hudson and the west,” Commissioner Richard Booth said. Ò There are many voices in this discussion and lots of people have made compromises. Without those, I do not think we would not have gotten close to this point. We are taking actions that will lead to resources that people will enjoy for a very, very long time.”

Booth added the board should be proud of their work on the project, “even if we receive some criticism.”

“This has been a good compromise,” Commissioner William Thomas said.

“This has been a long and complicated process,” Commissioner Bill Valentino said. “I often think the criticism we get is because people do not understand our system or do not understand our law. People wanted us to classify the land to their own personal standards and not in accordance to the law. What APA stood for in this circumstance was the law and good science.

I was proud of the way the APA staff handled itself. We came up with a solution that none of us could have ever come up with individually.”

“I think the final solution is not exactly what I would have wanted, but it is a good balance of recreation and protection,Ó Commissioner Sherman Craig said. “When people are on the water or the land, they will have no clue what color we used on our maps.”

Craig also mentioned the five towns - Indian Lake, Minerva, Newcomb, Long Lake and North Hudson - that border the classified lands.

“I wish the five towns will be able to encourage and expand their economic plans with this,” he said.

“I think that we have set the stage for really big future progress,” Commissioner Daniel Wilt said. “I am very pleased with this result and proud to be part of it.”

Commissioner Art Lussi thanked the Nature Conservancy for making the original purchase of the land before selling it to the state.

“I think the state made a great decision in in-

vesting in this property,” Lussi said. “The highlight for me will be when we had the chance to go to a meeting in Newcomb and hearing from the people. I was riveted for two and-ahalf hours.”

“This is an extremely creative solution, which is what I think was needed in order to get this right,” Commissioner Karen Feldman said. “It keeps a commitment to the five towns when they agreed to the sale, that there would be an economic benefit.”

Feldman also talked about the work that needed to continue with local sportsmen groups.

“I sincerely hope the DEC will be able to relocate them to acceptable sites,” she said. “These sportsmen and women have been extraordinary stewards of this land. They have protected the natural resources. They have cherished a nurtured this land more than anyone and their contributions will never be replaced.”

“How great have the sportsmen been who have used this land, and the Nature Conservancy have supplied this pristine piece of land for us to classify,” Wilt added. “I am concerned for sportsmen as far as access but I feel we have a good plan put together.”

Once the board spoke, Ulrich asked for their votes, with each member voting together in the affirmative. Once finished, the audience in attendance broke out in loud cheering. Ò The staff were pleased to develop a recom-

mendation that addressed natural resource protection, community connectivity and recreational access,” Martino said. “I extend a sincere thank you to everyone who participated in this monumental classification process, especially the Agency staff that worked so diligently over this past year. Staff expertise was invaluable to the successful completion of this process. We eagerly look forward to working with our colleagues at DEC in the development of unit management plans that will ensure diverse recreational access.”

Under the plan, newly classified areas would include the Hudson Gorge Wilderness Area (23,494 acre); Essex Chain Lakes Primitive Area (6,955 acre); OK Slip Pond Primitive Area (30 acre); Pine Lake Primitive Area (2,798 acre); and the Polaris Mountain Primitive Area (953 acre). The plan would also include the addition of over 8,000 acres into the existing Blue Mountain and Vanderwhacker Mountain Wild Forest Areas.

The recommendation will add a variety of new public recreation opportunities in the park, including hiking and walking; kayaking, paddle boarding and canoeing; snowmobiling, including the potential for connections between the towns of Indian Lake, Newcomb, and Minerva; whitewater and flatwater rafting; cross country and backcountry skiing; fishing; hunting; snowshoeing; horseback riding and mountain biking.

Farbaniec contributes to local causes BOLTON LANDING — A local resident and entrepreneur made generous contributions recently, one to a community service agency and another to a charity that helps local families in need.

On Dec. 10, the Bolton Landing Chamber of Commerce held their annual Christmas dinner at Frederick’s Restaurant. During this meeting, Phil Farbaniec of Norowal Marina presented the Chamber with a donation of $1,000 to the local “Heat Our Neighbor” program. He also presented Ed Sheridan and Doreen Brown of Bolton Emergency Medical Services with a $1,000 check for the ambulance squad.

The Chamber is still accepting donations to help out residents in need of assistance paying heating expenses.

fill in gaps that now exist in the local events calendar.

The only objection raised at the hearing was voiced by government critic John Salvador. Ò Is the town getting into restraint of trade?Ó he asked.

Dickinson offered a quick answer.

“We’re trying to promote it, John,” he replied.

LAKE GEORGE — Dramatic changes to town regulations governing transient merchants was approved by the Lake George Town Board following a public hearing held Dec. 12.

Local officials say the change is expected to prompt more festivals with accompanying vendors to be held in the town of Lake George.

Now, existing law — until the amended law is effective Jan. 1 — calls for transient merchants setting up outdoors to go through site plan review process — which can take from 30 to 60 days, and to pay $500 per day to the town to sell goods and services.

The new law allows a festival organizer to apply for a permit for $250, and then any approved number of individuals can sell their goods and services under the legal umbrella of the permitted festival.

But all those vendors not affiliated with a permitted festival will continue to be considered a transient merchant and need to pay the $500 fee.

Under the new law, existing annual festivals are protected from direct competition, as multiple festivals will not be allowed to operate on the same dates, unless their goods and services don’t compete directly with existing, scheduled annual festivals, town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson said.

“We don’t want unauthorized transient merchants competing with successful festivals we now have,” he said.

Town Director of Planning and Zoning Keith Oborne said the new regulations will encourage new festivals to situate in Lake George, while retaining and nurturing existing festivals like Americade that bring substantial revenue into the town. Ò These regulation amendments are a step forward, particularly for those event organizers who have ‘skin in the game,’” he said. “We’re trying to keep Americade here as well as extent the opportunity for other festivals to grow here.”

Oborne explained that only a few parcels in the town — plots with adequate parking, traffic flow, emergency access, rest rooms and other

“This streamlines the process,” Oborne said, noting that the former $500 daily fee per vendor discouraged festival events as well as craft and trade shows from being held in the town. Ò These amendments will promote tourism and help existing landowners host festivals that include offering wares and services associated with their event,” he said.

Oborne added that the new policy will help

State education official chosen for North Warren CEO post

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — Following a lengthy search process, a state educational improvement supervisor and former music teacher has been chosen as the new CEO for the North Warren Central School District.

The North Warren Central School Board announced its intent last week to appoint Margaret “Peg” Brady as superintendent of schools pending completion of contract negotiations.

Brady is currently serving as the Upstate Supervisor for School Improvement Planning with the state Education Department. In this position, she supervises the review of schools that the state has determined as needing improvement.

Prior to serving in the state Education Department, Brady was the District Coordinator for Humanities for the Ballston Spa Central School District. She was also the associate principal at Cohoes Middle Margaret “Peg” Brady School and music teacher at Lisha Kill Middle School, Moriah Central School, Queensbury Middle School, and Ticonderoga Central School.

Brady said her attributes would fit the needs at North Warren, particularly concerning implementing Common Core mandates, expanding arts programming and boosting students’ college and career readiness.

“I am looking forward to working collaboratively with the school board, teachers, students, parents, and the community at large,” Brady said in a prepared statement.

She said she enjoyed the small-town ambiance that exists in northern Warren County “My desired setting is a rural setting,” said Brady. “I spent 19 years teaching in a rural setting and feel that’s where I can make a difference.”

The North Warren school board began the hiring process in July, but a breakdown in contract negotiations with the selected candidate occurred, and the panel resumed search for a successor to retiring superintendent Joseph Murphy, who agreed to remain until a replacement was named.

Area BOCES District Superintendent James Dexter presented the North Warren Board with prospects for their consideration.

“All of the candidates were strong,” North Warren School Board President John Maday said in the prepared statement. “It was a tough decision — Brady’s knowledge and involvement with Race to the Top at the highest level will be an advantage for the district, and I think she will work well with the faculty and staff for the benefit of the students.”

Brady received her Bachelor of Music Education at SUNY Potsdam and her Masters in Education and Certificate of Advanced Studies in Education Leadership from SUNY Plattsburgh. She resides in South Glens Falls with her husband, a retired postmaster from Pottersville. They have two sons in college: Carson, 24, who is about to graduate from Albany College of Pharmacy, and Matt, 18, who pursuing studies in electrical engineering at SUNY Canton.

During Christmas in Warrensburg, Mary Landenberger of Warrensburg — positioned on the porch of the Warrensburg Senior Center where the event’s new Indoor Holiday Market was held — spins wool to be used in creating her handcrafted clothing items.

Adirondack Journal Editorial

A new air of cooperation I

t was always about striking a balance — and to the credit of Adirondack Park Agency Commissioners, that is exactly what the new land-use plan put forth for the Essex Chain of Lakes does.

The new land classification adopted for the Essex Chain of Lakes — known as “preferred alternative 2A” — classifies eight water bodies in the Essex Chain tract as primitive, allowing for motorless paddling. First and Pine lakes will remain open to floatplanes and access points will be strategically located in Wild Forest, to ensure easy access to all.

Some of the most wild sections of the former Finch Pruyn lands — the Hudson River Gorge and OK Slip Falls — will be forever protected under a Wilderness classification.

Perhaps more importantly for local communities, the plan calls for a narrow strip of Wild Forest through the corridor — following and utilizing existing roads and infrastructure — that will provide a critical link for recreational opportunities like mountain biking and snowmobiling between Essex and Hamilton counties.

It will also allow access to the Wilderness corridor for those who would otherwise only be able to stare at it on a map, and gives at least some conciliation to hunting and fishing leaseholders who have or will lose access.

Many officials, residents and business owners in the five towns bordering the tract have said that opening it to as many recreational users as possible is key to drawing people and jump starting local economies.

Business owners like Ruth and Dave Olbert of Cloud-Splitter Outfitters in Newcomb have said they would like to expand, but need a classification that would attract people to town before making the investment.

It now appears those pleas did not fall on deaf ears.

To be honest, we were skeptical that the voices of Adirondack Park officials and residents wouldn’t once again be droned out by the wishes of downstaters and environmental groups.

It seems Adirondackers have long taken the back seat when it comes to land use regulations here, even though we truly have the most to gain or lose. Over and over again political persuasion has been won over by the huge voting contingent outside the Blue Line and the deeppocketed members of green groups — many of whom also do not reside here full-time.

Few can argue that it has torpedoed the regionÕ s economy Ñ and census statistics showing a dwindling population here support that.

It is what created the Ò us versus themÓ mentality — and radical factions on both sides of

the isle raised their ugly heads.

But alas, it seems there is a new sense of cooperation in the air. It seems we have a governor who truly cares about the livelihood of Adirondackers; APA commissioners who are willing to balance environmental stewardship with economic viability and local environmental groups that are agreeing to compromise.

Following an extensive public comment period and while the APA was struggling with classifying the more than 22,000 acres of former Finch Pruyn land purchased by the Nature Conservancy and then sold to the state, Gov. Cuomo visited with various stakeholders in late September of this year. At that time, green groups were calling for a Wilderness classification for nearly all of the Essex Chain of Lakes.

In turn, local officials and residents in the five towns impacted by the sale and classification — North Hudson, Indian Lake, Newcomb, Minerva and Long Lake — were calling for a less restrictive Wild Forest designation.

After meeting with both sides, Cuomo held a press conference at Gore Mountain in North Creek and also called for balance.

“We need to preserve the Park. We also need economic development. We need activity. We need revenues. And you have to balance the two,Ó he told the crowd and government leaders who had assembled that day.

That balance turned out to be preferred alternative 2A — and the stars started to align.

Both the Adirondack Council and Adirondack Mountain Club came out in favor of preferred alternative 2A, as did Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Chairman William Farber and Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas before it was unanimously approved by APA commissioners Dec. 13.

Some of the most radical warring factions we spoke of earlier opted to dig their feet in the sand and bemoan the fact that they weren’t getting everything they were after, but for the most part those around the negotiating table each walked away with at least a small win.

ItÕ s called compromise Ñ and isnÕ t that what successful negotiating is all about?

Prior to the APA commissioner’s vote, Farber and Douglas said the land classification is “exciting and historicÓ and will Ò set the stage for a much brighter future for our communities.”

We couldn’t agree more, but perhaps even more exciting is the concept of a future where entities like green groups, local officials, Adirondackers and state leaders can work together to achieve compromise.

Now that’s historic. Ñ

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden

•100 years ago - Dec., 1913• Town notable happy with new leg

Henry Ashe, proprietor of the Agricultural Hotel, who had his right leg amputated above the knee last spring on account of blood poison in his foot, has had the member replaced by an artificial limb made by the Winkfield Artificial Limb Co., of Minneapolis, Minn.

It is as perfect a leg as can be made by man up to the present time, having a knee and ankle joints which can be operated by the wearer at will. “Hank” says he is much pleased with the new contraption.

Warren House gala held

At the Warren House, Saturday evening, Nov. 29, 1913, Maurice O’Connor, the genial and popular proprietor, entertained at dinner 14 of Warrensburgh’s prominent men, simply as a friendly testimonial of his esteem for a small number of his tried and true friends.

Those present were Hon. L.W. Emerson, Senator James A. Emerson, Supervisor Milton N. Eldridge, John G. Smith, County Superintendent of Highways Bertram E. Murray, Louis E. Reoux, Andrew Reidy, Thomas O’Connor, J.A. Woodward, J.M. Somerville, Hart Joseph, Berry W. Woodward and W. Osborne.

The course dinner was prepared under the direct supervision of Mrs. O’Connor and was of the well-known Warren House quality.

Grim Reaper defeats a good man

Relentless death is no respecter of persons. Time and place may not be chosen for his dread visit. Even in scenes of joy his presence is ever near, in palace or hovel he obtrudes his grim visage. In the joyous holiday time, when good cheer prevails on every hand, he has invaded our beautiful village and removed from our midst our good citizen, Lewis Thomson who has been prominently identified with Warrensburgh for many years and his familiar presence will be greatly missed. Mr. Thomson’s active life, covering a span of 60 years, was passed in this town and here by and through his great talent for business, his thrift and economy, he amassed a fortune estimated at nearly half a million dollars.

Lewis Thomson died Friday night, Dec. 19, 1913 at his beautiful home on upper Main St. where for many weeks he had suffered the pains of his terrible malady, cancer, which after more than a year cut short his earthly career where the ambition of his life had almost been realized and he was prepared to enjoy the fruits of his years of struggle and achievement in business.

On Nov. 27, 1912 Mr. Thomson submitted to an operation by Dr. Harvey, a famous Troy surgeon at the Samaritan Hospital and

his condition improved as a result, but in October of this year he was compelled to retire to his home and bed. He was buried in the Warrensburgh Cemetery.

(Note - Lewis Thomson, a poor farm boy, was born April 8, 1853 on Spruce Mountain in Warrensburgh. A self-made man, by hard work and diligence, he worked his way up to being the most extensive dealer in real estate in this area. At one time he owned 27 farms. He was a cattle driver and dealer and went into partnership in 1898 with Albert H. Thomas in the pulp wood business on a large scale. Thomson owned 7,000 acres of rich timberlands in Underwood, Essex County in partnership with the Kenyon Lumber Co. of Sandy Hill.

On May 17, 1882 he married Miss Phebe Sisson and they had one daughter, Pearl Rice, wife of Philip E. Rice, a hotel man. In 1906, Thomson built his beautiful 27-room dream home on upper Main St., which is today the Cornerstone Bed and Breakfast. In 1913 the town mourned the passing of a truly great man.)

Charges against two women dismissed

Indictments against Mary Barber of Lake George and Mary A. Monroe of Hague were dismissed by Judge Raley at the Grand Jury secession with the consent of District Attorney Kiley.

The indictment against the Barber woman charged her with having stolen a sum of money from a trial juror a year ago when during the term of Supreme Court a man lodged over night in the boarding house she maintained, money was found missing when he got up in the morning. It was thought that enough evidence for a conviction could not be secured against her.

The Monroe woman was held for a violation of the excise law in Hague and was tried a year ago in County Court. The jury failed to agree in the case and she has since changed her place of residence.

Indian Lake’s wilderness days

In the early days the general area of the town of Indian Lake, situated 1750 feet above sea level, was called Gilman. This wild area was composed of several of the present towns, Long Lake and Wells among them.

There is a story of how Indian Lake separated from this town.

One day a Mr. Peary’s pig got into a Mr. Bealie’s garden and a dispute arose as to how the matter would be settled. There was no Justice of the Peace, nor other officers within 25 miles, so the people saw the need of having someone enforce the law.

The place had ten freeholders and so it separated and became a town which was made up of what is now Long Lake. Later, around 1757, the town was divided and each area became a town by itself. At this time the town was a wilderness. The settlers used to sit on their doorsteps and listen to the cry of wild animals. The wolves used to follow them to their doors at night.

Miles Washburn was elected as Indian Lake’s first supervisor.

(Note: Old stories abound and other history sources say that about the year 1765 a Banakee Indian from the province of Quebec, known as Sabael Benedict, first discovered the town and gave it it’s name. Former Warrensburgh Town Historian, the late Mabel Tucker, traced her ancestry back to this man and John Mitchell, Sabael’s grandson.)

Deaths in the news

Stokes Ellsworth, 76, died the afternoon of Nov. 22, 1913, at his home, 7 Mason St., Glens Falls. He is survived by his widow, four sons, Elisha, Herbert, Elmer Ellsworth and Alva Coffin and two daughters, Mrs. Crandall and Mrs. Mead.

The deceased was for many years a resident of Lake George, a dedicated member of the Presbyterian Church as well as a veteran of the Civil War.

Sweet and sour notes

A timely snowstorm on Dec. 23, 1913, beginning during the morning and continuing until late in the evening, brought about eight inches of snow and this averted the dreaded green Christmas.

John H. Arehart closed his hotel at Harrisburgh, West Stony Creek, Nov. 22, 1913, for the winter and with his family has moved to his hotel at Creek Centre.

Walter Betty, who is employed at Hooper’s garnet mine, met with an accident on the night of Nov. 21, 1913. He was working near the mine machinery when his arm was caught, breaking it in three places. He was taken at once to the Glens Falls Hospital.

Friedrich and Anna Krellwitz Wischhusen have a lovely little three-year-old daughter Katarina Anna Regina Wischhusen who was born Oct. 22, 1910 in Bremen, Germany. (Note: Kitty Otto, 103 years old, the widow of Hubert Otto and a resident of South Trout Lake Road, Bolton Landing, died Nov. 20, 2013 at Samaritan Hospital, Rexford.)

Forest Young, 40, died Nov. 28, 1913, of pneumonia in Chestertown after only a few days illness. He leaves a widow and six small children.

T.J. Murphy has 6,000 pieces of pine logs cut on the Elm Hill lot in Wevertown ready to be drawn to his new saw mill recently purchased from Moston Brohers Benjamin Tennyson of Friends Lake slipped on an icy board at the Butler farm, where he was employed and broke two ribs.

Ernest LaFlure’s horse-shoeing establishment in Chestertown is a bee hive of activity. Fred Bump has moved into his new house in Adirondack. Frank E. Pasco of Athol has enrolled as a student at Albany Business College.

Letters to the Editor

Speed, alcohol cause crashes

Thanks to Nativity volunteers

To the Editor:

To the Editor:

There is a total of 9,991 miles of trails in the New York State Snowmobile Trail System that comes under funding and regulations of the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.

In the last season there were 116,725 NYS snowmobile registrations and 1.65 reported accidents per 1,000 registrations with 14 fatalities According to the OPRHP during the 2012/13 snowmobile season the major causes of snowmobile accidents were excessive speed and intoxication. The law states that a snowmobile accident which involves bodily or property damage of $1,000 or more must be reported to the local law enforcement agency and the OPRHP. From my observations of debris left along the trails, I believe there are many accidents that go unreported.

Most of the accidents are attributed to excessive speed, which is also a side effect of intoxication. Risk taking, lack of inhibition, slow reaction time, lack of coordination are all a part of the effect of alcohol on the brain.

The majority of snowmobilers appreciated the sport in a healthy way and enjoy the fresh air, beautiful scenery, and being with friends and family. Yet, it only takes one persons bad choice to ruin the fun forever.

The OPRHP funds snowmobile safety courses each year that are provided by local snowmobile clubs and associations. The OPRHP states that it also supports the International Association of Snowmobile Administrators’ Zero Alcohol Campaign. We also have a new non-profit group in NY State called “Ride Clean NY,” whose mission is to promote awareness about drinking and riding.

Please pass on the message that speed &and alcohol or drugs make snowmobiling dangerous for everyone on the trail. Make sure to take a snowmobile safety course that most clubs sponsor and help support Ride Clean NY as well as the Zero Alcohol Campaign of NYS OPRHP. Dorean Page Lake Pleasant

I’d like to thank all who contributed their time and talents toward the Living Nativity occurring Dec. 7 as part of the 25th anniversary Christmas in Warrensburgh event.

I especially thank the collaborative efforts of Rev. Nancy Barrow and Rev. Steve Andrews, both of whom did a tremendous job. It has been a pleasure to serve with you in the Greater Warrensburg Ministerial Association.

I also thank Arlinda Birdsall for the loan of Teddy, her miniature pony who was costumed as our donkey, and to the proprietors of Nettle Meadow Farm, Sheila Flanagan and Lorraine Lambiase, for the loan of the newest additions to their farm, Belle and Spike — the animals were a pure delight.

This would not be complete without thanking John Alexander of Alexander Funeral Home for the use of their grounds, building and the graciousness they provided for us that day. And last but not least, the volunteers, especially those who braved the cold weather for the duration of our program — and remembering the reason for the season.

God bless you all.

Obamacare indeed offers better options To the Editor: I recently signed up for new health insurance. Until this year, it has been very difficult to find good individual health insurance. Many companies did not even offer the option, and the policies which were available were difficult to understand. I ended up paying good money for a junk policy.

Thanks to President Obama and the Affordable Care Act, all that has changed for the better. It is now much easier to shop for individual health insurance, and all of the plans offer quality coverage.

Pre-existing medical conditions no longer prevent people from buying health insurance, and parents can keep their children

covered for a longer period. Preventative care is now covered and subsidies are available to make the cost more affordable.

There has been so much venom expressed in Congress and the conservative press that people may not realize that “Obamacare” can make their lives better. Becoming seriously ill without health insurance can be financially ruinous. If you need health insurance, now is the time to look – don’t let the conservative hysteria scare you off.

Thank you for help with Bazaar To the Editor: Thank you to all who made the 48th Annual Minerva Christmas Bazaar a success. The organizations and vendors offered the community a wonderful variety of choices.

Thanks to Heidi Kelly and Minerva Central School for the use of the gym and all the help in organizing and setting up for the event. The students decorated the tree and the walls with creative handmade ornaments.

Thank you to Sue Corey, Robbie Kohrman and Danae Tucker of the Town of Minerva for delivery of tables, backdrop and the Memory Tree.

Thanks to those who helped with publicity, Mike Corey, Joy and Ed Healy, Teresa Haley, and Kathleen DeGuilme.

Bob Foley, Danielle Goodspeed, and Kathleen DeGuilme did an excellent job decorating. Angela McCall was an articulate and confident announcer. The guitar students of Mrs. LaPointe and the band students of Mr. Bee filled the gym with music. Santa’s Helpers, Lynn Green and Bev West, offered a delicious dinner. Jake Hitchcock donated the Christmas tree, swept the gym floor, and delivered large items back to their owners.

Thank you to Santa and Mrs. Claus for joining us and talking to the children.

An extra special thank you goes to Katy Smith whose experience and skill were invaluable in the planning and executing of the bazaar.

Thank you to all who attended. You were the most important factor in the success of the bazaar. We look forward to seeing you again next year.

Reflections on the prior months

With all the turmoil our town has seen over the past year, I think it overdue to extend an olive branch.

An olive branch held by a dove was used as a peace symbol in 18th century. If for no other reason this is the time of year for forgiving and accepting one another.

We may have differing opinions, but when it comes right down to it, we all share this town.

Magic Salt from page 1

the village’s salt usage substantially and has been effective in keeping roads clear — and its premium price has decreased recently by about $9 per ton.

“We’ve had great luck with it,” Harrington said.

Some municipalities in New York Sate have reported that converting to Magic Salt has cut their salt usage by about half, which not only cuts pollution, but reduces the corrosion on road infrastructure and vehicles caused by either salt or calcium chloride, another substance used to melt ice on roadways.

Bolton is planning to start using the material soon on their roads as a project initiated by the Lake George Watershed Coalition. The coalition obtained a grant earlier this year to construct a building for $92,000 to hold Magic Salt and keep it dry.

Bolton Town Supervisor Ron Conover said Dec. 17 that the building is virtually complete, and use of Magic Salt would begin soon.

December 21, 2013

“Initial reports are that it’s an excellent product,” he said. “We’ll be monitoring how much we use and how effective it is — we’re encouraged at this stage.”

Conover continued that salt from roadway runoff was degrading water quality in Lake George, and he was hopeful that Magic Salt would provide a remedy.

“The number one problem pollutant in the lake is road salt,” he said. We need to reduce chloride while maintaining public safety.”

Coalition officials have asked the Darrin Freshwater Institute to monitor the use of Magic Salt and to assess its impact on area water quality.

The Coalition has reported long-term water quality data for Lake George shows a steady and alarming increase in the lakewater’s salt content. According to Freshwater Institute data, chlorides in Lake George have nearly doubled in the 30 years, which Coalition officials say threatens Lake George’s aquatic life and jeopardizes the lake’s use as a drinking water source in future years if roadway salt runoff is not curbed substantially.

The Watershed Coalition has reported that if the use of Magic Salt proves beneficial in Bolton and Lake George Village, the organization may lobby to have the substance used in other communities surrounding the lake.

Airport

from page 1 proposed that the committee pursue the objectives of increasing the number of aircraft and pilots, boost ancillary uses, and explore establishing ground transportation to and from the airport.

He suggested that effective marketing of the airport could include enhancing the facility’s website, printing and distributing brochures, advertising in trade publications, and attending trade shows.

Warren County Public Works Superintendent Jeff Tennyson suggested examining other airports and assessing their services with the aim of increasing the county airport’s competitive advantage.

“We want to bring in new jobs, new businesses and prompt new land development,” he said.

Bartholomew voiced a parallel idea, suggesting that the committee first assess the county airport’s existing strengths and weaknesses in services and facilities, then survey business proprietors and pilots to determine their needs and wants.

Besides Freer and Bartholomew, serving on the committee are airport manager Ross Dubarry; airport fixed base operator Rich Schemerhorn or his operations manager Steve Abbott; and Queensbury at-large Supervisor Bill Mason — who was voted in as the panel’s chairman. The committee members said he would

www.adirondackjournal.com serve well in the post, despite the fact his tenure as a county supervisor ends Dec. 31, because he was well-informed on airport issues.

The group decided to meet monthly, at 10:30 a.m. on the Monday before the third Friday of the month, at the airport terminal.

This ad-hoc committee is to report to the Warren County Economic Development Committee, offering suggestions for airport promotion and service enhancement. The committee would also be maintaining informal communication with the county Facilities Committee, through the latter group’s chairman, Dan Girard. The Facilities Committee oversees the airport’s operation.

The committee endorsed the suggestion of county Administrator Paul Dusek that the meetings be open to the public, except for discussion of specific pending contracts of a competitive nature.

It was also decided to transcribe minutes of meetings, narratives that would include descriptions of dissenting minority opinions.

The next meeting of the airport advisory committee is set for 10:30 a.m. Jan. 13.

Controversy concerning the airport surfaced earlier this year after Queensbury at-large supervisor Mark Westcott suggested that the airport’s annual deficit of $800,000 be slashed. Westcott was present for the Dec. 16 meeting, as were several other county supervisors.

The deep freeze

E

ven the most hardened Adirondacker is likely to admit the weather patterns over the last few days have been a bit harsh.

Some folks may even go so far as to complain that it’s been a bit too cold for December.

For those who have been counting the months until the return of safe ice, it seems it is now just about right.

A good cover of solid black ice has already set up on nearly every small body of water in the area except for the Big Lake, where even the bays appear to be resisting the deep freeze.

Early ice always seems to bring out the anglers, as it often produces some of the best fishing of the hard-water season.

It also provides the opportunity for many avid ‘ice-heads’ to get reacquainted and to catch up. I’ve always marveled at the outright camaraderie of the sport.

Ice fishing is undoubtedly one of the most social of all outdoor pursuits. It has a way of bringing fishermen together, in a manner that would never even be considered on the ponds or the streams.

On the ponds, anglers tend to be very closed mouthed, and they’re rarely willing to pass along any worthwhile information to strangers, especially newcomers.

The same guy would shun you on a small trout stream, or even try to chase you off from Ô their sectionÕ of the river.

But when you meet the very same individuals on the ice, they canÕ t seem to stop talking about their secret techniques, the proper fishing depths, the best bait to use or just about anything else that will help others to catch fish.

And if they happen to own a power auger, stand clear if they offer to drill a few holes for you.

I’ve watched ‘em fire-up their custom built, nitro burning, ice augers and chew through enough ice to float a fleet of tuna boats in less than a minute. They Olympic ice climbing athletes will can turn pond ice into perform on an artifical ice wall, unSwiss cheese before most like the winter athletes who train folks even have a chance regularly on the ice flows of Pok-Oto get their tip-ups un- Moonshine or the Cascades. tangled.

A few cautions would be considered before traveling on the ice. Use a sled or an ATV if necessary, but leave the car or truck on shore.

Every year, somebody puts a motor vehicle through the ice.

Car insurance is void once you drive onto the ice, and itÕ s a very expensive process to have a vehicle removed, without even including the daily fines.

Always let someone know your plans, where you’re going and when you expect to return. Always carry a throw rope, ice spikes, a cell phone and be cautious when fishing near inlets, outlets, bridges and other such areas where there is likely to be a current.

The newest sport on Olympic Ice

In Lake Placid, and most of the other Winter Olympic villages around the world, the arrival of ice and snow has always provided the opportunity for athletes to go fast, real fast.

Bobsled and luge athletes will thunder down the track at breakneck speeds, (luge is the only winter sport measured to the 1/1000th) of a second.

Alpine skiers cover ground faster than an avalanche, while ski jumpers typically take to the air with an average speed of nearly 60 mph.

What do these sports have in common? They all involve Olympic caliber athletes who are racing to the bottom in an effort to make it to the top tier of the medal’s podium.

For a change of pace, the upcoming 2014 Winter Olympic Games to be hosted in Sochi will include a new winter sport which will require competitors to race to the top, rather than the bottom.

Their race course will feature some of the toughest, most challenging ice formations in the world.

In Sochi, competitive Ice Climbing will be introduced as a demonstration sport with the intention of making it a fullfledged Olympic sport in future years.

Anyone who has traveled through the Cascades or Chapel Pond pass during the winter months has likely witnessed the non-traditional athletes climbing high on the big, blue, frozen flows. They scale the cliffs with an ice ax in each hand, and a pair of spiked crampons strapped to their boots. And they often dare to tread where even the most surefooted of climbers would never attempt.

Sport climbing was first introduced in 2006 as a demonstration sport during the Winter Olympic Games in Torino, Italy.

While the full scope of the Sochi climbing events have yet to be announced, it is expected they will include some type of head to head competitions to add excitement to a sport that has long been dominated by the Russians.

The Week In Sports

Burgher wrestlers start off season strong

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Achieving some key wins and placing well in a tough tournament, the Warrensburg wrestling team has started off its 2013-14 season showing strength and talent.

The WCS team finished second overall Dec. 14 in the Duanesburg Duals tournament with a substantial number of solid individual matches, which resulted in a 3-2 team record in this meet of six schools.

Warrensburg beat host Duanesburg 49-36 and defeated Peru 37-28 as well as far-larger Guilderland 39-26, but lost to Cobleskill by a 42-42 tie-breaker decision based on individual match wins, 7-8, although the Burghers had pinned one more wrestler than Cobleskill.

Dominating the tournament was St. Anthony’s of Long Island, which defeated Warrensburg 55-18, WCS coach Mark Trapasso said.

“St. Anthony’s was an amazing team,” he said. “Our wrestlers did quite well — this was our best finish in the Duanesburg Duals in years,” he said.

In the Burghers’ second-place win, they had four wrestlers tally 4-1 in their matches: Nick Nedelcu at 126 pounds, Denver Berry at 132, Lane Oehler at 145, and Damian Prosser at 220.

Wrestling 3-2 for the day were Trevor Baker at 170 pounds and Blake Vaisey at heavyweight.

“It was tough, hard-nosed wrestling all day,” Trapasso said.

“When you beat Duanesburg and Peru, you know you’ve had a great day.”

On Thursday Dec. 12, the Warrensburg wrestling team beat Corinth — a traditionally strong team — by a score of 49-28.

Accomplishing pins in that victory were Wil Yarmowich, Blake Vaisey, Jon Simmes, Austin West, and Denver Berry. Winning by decision were Dan Monthony in a close 2-1 match and Lane Oehler by a wide 18-4 score. Virtually no WCS wrestlers were pinned in the matchup, an unusual accomplishment against Corinth.

The Burghers also showed their talent Dec. 4 against Queensbury, as they nearly beat them in a meet that was decided in the very last match. Sports fans are well aware that Queensbury is an Class A school with about 900 students — between two and three times Warrensburg’s enrollment. Queensbury also has outstanding athletes, demonstrated this year by their state championship football win — and many of the players who were standouts on that team also wrestle.

In this matchup, pinning for the Burghers were Austin West

at 120, Denver Berry at 132, Lane Oehler at 145, Trevor Baker at 170 — he pinned his opponent in 27 seconds — and Blake Vaisey, who pinned his opponent at 285 pounds in 52 seconds. West also had a first-period pin, accomplishing it in 1:24. Nedelcu won a 14-6 decision in the matchup.

The Burghers are now 4-3 overall, which is a notable achievement considering the competition, Trapasso said.

“It’s definitely a promising season,” he said.

Coming up for the Warrensburg team is a busy lineup of matches and tournaments over the school break, starting with the Granville tournament on Saturday Dec. 21.

The Warrensburg Duals tourney is to be held Saturday Jan 4 — it begins at 9:30 a.m.

Next up is a showdown Wednesday Jan. 8 with the rival LakeGeorge/Hadley-Luzerne War Eagles, who are having their best year since they were formed in the late 2000s. This last week, they crushed their opposition in the Glens Falls MatMania Tournament.

Trapasso said he expected this showdown between the Burghers and the War Eagles to be a competitive and popular meet.

“We’ll be packing the gym that night,” Trapasso said.

In October, archeologists discovered the weapons as they were conducting a routine survey prior to launching a $3 million project to reconstruct the Million Dollar Beach parking lot and access roadway. They uncovered arrowheads, stone knives and a spear head about eight inches long — items that are believed to date as far back as 8,000 years.

Extensive sewer plant upgrades pending

In other business, the board also heard from village Public Works Superintendent Dave Harrington that initial work on the $2.2 million project to upgrade the village sewer plant were ready to go forward.

The project entails excavating and replacing sand in the effluent filtration beds, construction of a new sewage disposal station for septic waste haulers, apparatus to separate grit and solids from liquid effluent, and equipment to pump the solids into the main flow of sewage through the treatment plant. The upgrades are expected to make the treatment plant more efficient as well as reduce the residual nitrate levels in the plant outflow — which have concerned state environmental officials for years.

Harrington said that a delay in delivery of a pre-fabricated building to house a portion of the apparatus was holding up the project, so plans were progressing for constructing a building on

site. He said that the construction and sewer plant reconfiguration work could begin as soon as mid-January.

Village trustees Ray Perry and John Earl praised Harrington and the village highway employees for the quick cleanup following the snowstorm that blanketed the region Dec. 14 and Dec. 15 with about 13 inches of snow. Harrington responded that the efficient snow removal was because the workers got an early start and kept ahead of the snow buildup.

Blais told board members that the Lake George Polar Plunge held in mid-November had raised nearly $77,000 for Special Olympics.

“It was a tremendous event,” Blais said.

A letter received by the village from officials from the Special Olympics New York organization cited that the sum was a record for the Lake George fundraiser.

“The number of spectators was astounding and created a fantastic buzz,” the letter read.

The board accepted a letter of resignation from village public works laborer Carrie Rabideau, and prompting appreciation for her years of service to the public.

Also, the board received a $3,681 dividend from Utica Mutual insurance company, a rebate for its coverage of the village fire department. The board decided to use the extra money to offset a portion of the village’s increasing premiums — about $9,000 more this year than in 2012 — for Length of Service retirement benefits for village firefighters.

In past years, such dividends werer outinely set aside for firefighting equipment capital expenditures.

Trustee John Earl, a long-time local fire official, objected to diverting the dividend, but he was outvoted.

In other matters before the board, the trustees approved a new mileage rate of 56 cents per mile to refund employee use of personal vehicles for town business.

Blais reviewed a report of a recent independent audit examining how the village accounted and handled funds for projects involving federal aid. Covering purchasing and auditing practices, the audit results were exemplary, Blais said.

“I commend Clerk-Treasurer Darlene Gunther for a job well done,Ó he said noting that the report echoes results of various prior audits. “And the village is showing a healthy balance as well.”

The Week In Sports

Johnsburg grad named national Player of the Year in field hockey

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com SARATOGA SPRINGS — Kelly Blackhurst, a 2010 graduate of Johnsburg High School, has been honored as a top college field hockey player in the U.S. Last week, Blackhurst, a Skidmore College senior, was named the 2013 National Player of the Year by the Longstreth/National Field Hockey Coaches’ Association.

Blackhurstis the first field hockey player ever at the college to achieve this prestigious award Ñ the one athlete chosen from among about 4,500 players on about 180 Division III field hockey teams.

Blackhurst played varsity field hockey for Johnsburg from eighth grade through her senior year. She continued in field hockey Skidmore, starting every game since she joined the Thoroughbreds as a Freshman.

Blackhurst scored 32 goals and tallied 15 assists for 79 performance points during the 2013 season.

Her efforts were rewarded with the title of 2013 Liberty League Offensive Player of the Year.

She led the Thoroughbreds to a 19-4 overall record, the 2013 Liberty League Championship, and a trip to the NCAA Final Four.

Over her college career, Blackhurst scored 105 goals and 54 assists, tallying 264 career points. She is the all-time leading scorer at Skidmore and in the Liberty league. She also holds the Skidmore record for the most game-winning goals (20), the most points in a season (79), the most goals in a season (32) and the most game-winning goals in a season (8).

Blackhurst is a four-time Liberty League First Team selection, a three-time Longstreth/NFHCA All-American selection, and a two-time Longstreth/NFHCA North Atlantic Region Player of the Year.

Of all Division III college players on record, Blackhurst ranks fifth for career scoring.

Regardless of all her achievements and awards, Blackhurst credited others, noting that her personal success was in large part due to the athleticism of the other players and their outstanding teamwork.

Blackhurst said Dec. 16 that she has played field hockey ever since she was introduced to the sport in the fourth grade at Johnsburg Elementary. Over the next 11 years, she always competed from front-line and attack positions.

“I always wanted to score goals and be in the action,” she said.

Blackhursts’ parents, Larry and Mary Blackhurst, said that their daughter has always been focused on being the best she possibly could.

“Kelly just had this incredible drive to achieve in sports — she was always self-motivated,” he said. Mary recalled how as an elementary school field hockey player, she got hurt, but was determined to go out and continue playing, despite suffering a

fractured arm.

In high school, she played for the ADK Field Hockey Team, a club hockey team based in Albany, requiring semi-weekly round-trip commuting from North Creek. She also qualified for the Empire State Games in both field hockey and skiing.

Blackhurst also attended the U.S. Field Hockey Association’s Futures Field Hockey Camp, a feeder program for the U.S. Field Hockey team. She played in the U.S. Field Hockey’s National Futures championship tournament and was scouted by various colleges of all sizes. She chose to attend Skidmore because of their reputation, academic excellence and the fact she’d likely be competing on the field rather than sitting on the bench, her father said.

Coaches have noted that Blackhurst has a comprehensive knowledge of the game, instinctively knowing what to do in most any situation. She is also reputed to have outstanding field vision, as well as giving and receiving passes extremely well, with the team’s best interests at heart. Blackhurst not only has an accurate strong shot, but when in the circle in front of the goal and forced to score, she does whatever she needs to do to get the ball in the goal.

Blackhurst was an athlete from an early age. She began skiing when she was two or three, she recalled, and started competitive alpine ski racing — primarily at Gore Mountain — when she was five or six, and she continued it through her senior year.

She began skiing for the Johnsburg High ski team as an eighth grader, and she qualified for the skiing state championship tourney as an individual, for five years in a row.

A three-sport athlete, she also played softball for Johnsburg, generally a catcher.

In addition to competing on the school ski team she skied in the New York State Educational Foundation program, affiliated with the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Association, an activity that took her to peaks throughout New York State.

“Growing up, I always had a lot of energy,” she said.

Athletics didn’t overshadow academics, however. Blackhurst was the Salutatorian of her class, earning an Advanced Regents Diploma with honors.

At Skidmore, she continued her outstanding scholarship, tallying high grades and qualifying for the college’s exclusive Thoroughbred Society. Blackhurst is majoring in business and management — taking marketing and accounting courses — and is pursuing a minor in early childhood education.

Whatever Blackhurst chooses as a career, she wants to be active and not sedentary, she said.

“I want to be actively helping others,” Blackhurst said, noting she is likely to be taking a year off before working toward a Masters Degree. In the meantime, she may be seeking a position as an assistant field hockey coach.

“I want to take a break and figure out what to do,” she said.

Blackhurst said her parents, Larry and Mary Blackhurst of North River, have been very supportive through her school years and college career, whether it was aiding with transportation,

moral support or supplying her with sports equipment.

“They’ve attended every single field hockey game for four years,” Kelly Blackhurst said. “They never missed a game.”

Phil Goodman, Johnsburg’s Junior Varsity and Modified coach, provided a lot of support through the years, Blackhurst recalled — he even attended her games at Skidmore.

She’s also received considerable support from the North Creek/North River/Johnsburg community, including Pete and Joyce Parker, who’ve attended a considerable number of games.

She’s also received a lot of letters, cards and emails of encouragement or congratulation, she said. Ò It has meant so much to me that people are giving me this incredible support — it’s made me feel wonderful.”

Kelly continued that self-confidence, nurtured by her experience stemming from years of club and statewide competition, was key to her success.

“In the end, it’s all about having confidence in yourself, knowing that no matter how good the team is youÕ re up against, that you can beat them,” she said. “Such confidence is crucial.”

This confidence is particularly important for athletes from small schools, she said, noting that she wants to pass on this advice to others with her rural upbringing.

“It’s important for small-town athletes to know that anything is possible,” she said.
