NY comptroller visits Warren County By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com GLENS FALLS „ While the stateÍ s economy is rebounding from the recent deep economic recession, the Adirondack region has continuing challenges, state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli told area leaders Monday during a visit to Glens Falls. DiNapoli gave a speech and answered

questions at a breakfast held May 19 at the Queensbury Hotel in Glens Falls. About 90 local politicians, entrepreneurs and economic development officials attended the event, hosted by the Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce. New York State as a whole, he said, is gradually climbing back out of the recession, he said. ñ WeÍ re on the road to recovery „ but weÍ re not moving forward like gangbusters „ weÍ re not generating the kind

Judge: Hudson River Rafting company can resume runs By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com JOHNSTOWN „ The Hudson River Rafting Company, based in North Creek, can resume guiding trips under certain restrictions according to a ruling handed down by the State Supreme Court in Johnstown. According to Elizabeth Debold, media coordinator for Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman, a decision handed down on May 15 determined the Hudson River Rafting Company and owner Patrick Cunningham may resume guiding in New York as long as the company posts a $50,000 performance bond to help prevent further violations. The company was also ordered to pay $12,000 in civil penaltyÍ s for each of the 10 documented instances where employees were either issued tickets for guiding without a license or for operating a bus without the appropriate license. According to the decision issued by State Supreme Court Justice Richard Giaradino, the court threw out a motion that the Hudson River Rafting Company engaged in false and misleading advertising. The ruling also permanently prohibits the company from renting rafts, kayaks or any similar type of watercraft for customers to ñ captain their own boatsî on rivers where a licensed guide is required.

The courtÍ s ruling lifts a restraining order against the North Creek companyÍ s license to guide that was issued after the drowning death of a client, Tamara Blake, 53, of Columbus, Ohio, in September 2012. Hudson River Rafting Company guide Rory K. Fay, who was guiding the raft Blake fell out of, was determined to be intoxicated at the time of the accident. He pleaded guilty to criminally

negligent homicide and two other charges in November. An investigation into the practices of Hudson River Rafting Company found that rafting guides working for the company did not have proper licenses and their actions were negligible. Debold said the Attorney General’s office believes the ruling will be a positive step to encourage safe practices by New York guides. ñ We think this is a really great win for New Yorkers,î Debold said. ñ It allows them to go back and improve their business practices and protect consumers from unsafe conditions.î Beginning in 1981, Hudson River Rafting Company was one of the first companies to offer rafting trips on the Hudson, Black and Sacandaga rivers and the companyÍ s years of experience were noted by Giaradino. According to the Attorney General’s office there are no further charges pending against Cunningham or the Hudson River Rafting Company at this time and once the company posts the bond, they can resume business. However, should Cunningham or the Hudson River Rafting Company violate the judgeÍ s injunction, it will be considered contempt of court. The status of the DEC restraining order imposed on the company last fall was unclear as of press time May 22. Calls to Cunningham and his lawyer, Jason Britt, were not returned as of press time.

Letters to the Editor End double taxation on out-ofstate purchases!

To the Editor: There is a bill (A.6223/S.4170) circulating in the New York State Assembly that has begun to garner a lot of support „ the bill has over 50 sponsors, from both parties „ that would eliminate the double taxation, for military personnel, occurring when vehicles are purchased out of state then registered in New York State. The measure would abolish, for active military personnel, the state sale and use tax imposed on any motor vehicle, at time of registration, that was purchased outside of the state by a New York State citizen. State Senator DeFrancisco (R-Syracuse) has said itÍ s unfair to require citizens to pay double sales taxes, especially those serving the nation and are reassigned to different locations, which prompts the extra taxation. Among the sponsors of the bill is Assemblyman Stec of the 114th District. I agree, like many others, that those in the military provide a special service. But shouldnÍ t this travesty be eliminated for

all people living in New York State? This tax, that can far exceed 4 percent depending on your locality, acts as a tariff on many goods, including property, vehicles, and certain types of heavy equipment purchased outside of the state. This extra tax burdens the finances of local businesses, households, and the average person looking to get the best deal they can in a free-market economy. As long as the existing sales and use tax laws remain in place, the citizens of New York and the stateÍ s economy will bear the burden of irresponsible taxation. Thomas Paine once wrote, ñ To say that any people are not fit for freedom, is to make poverty their choice, and to say they had rather be loaded with taxes than not.î Christopher Carlson Warrensburg

Look around: cultural genocide is under way

To the Editor: It is too easy to dismiss the arguments of

the tea party members as simplistic fear of one-world socialist government orchestrated through the United Nations, as some opponents to Washington County tea party resolutions seem to think, according to news reports. The laundry list of liberal visions in the UN Agenda 21 document promoted by International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (based in Oakland, California and headquartered in Bonne, Germany) for its sustainable communities project that arouses the citizen groupÍ s ire includes extreme rural land use controls with concentrated population centers. When it was published in 1993, much of Agenda 21 was already old hat. In fact, two decades earlier the vast Adirondack region became the merciless original experiment in topdown regional planning in the U.S.. The UN Champlain-Adirondack Biosphere Reserve, designated in 1989 by UNESCO in accord with a secret APA-authored application by Gov. Mario Cuomo (jointly with Vermont), calls for a vast core area of all the state-owned land

with no human influences. The Adirondack Park Agency, the state Dept. of Environmental Conservation and private environmental organizations are bulldozing ahead toward this goal. Few children remain in the central Adirondacks. Local schools are closing. Deliberate depopulation and cultural genocide are succeeding. The U.S. Dept. of State declared several years ago that great progress is being made in the implementation of the Biosphere Reserve through various regional entities. Local government should refuse to be a tool of internationalist environmental groups, tying the future of their communities to a bit of state cash and high-sounding planning. DonÍ t fall for a slick program under ICLEI. The environmental juggernaut is incredibly complicated. The dismay of finding another multi-million dollar tentacle grasping at our rights and future keeps recurring. Carol W. LaGrasse, President Property Rights Foundation of America Stony Creek

Second terms and three strikes Crown Point sets Memorial Day example I

emorial Day will be observed throughout the North Country, but this weekend belongs to the community of Crown Point. For 145 years it has been marking the occasion, every year since the end of the Civil War, each year a little bigger and better. It may be the longest continuous Memorial Day event in the nation. ThatÍ s the way it should be since Crown Point men played a prominent role in the founding of the Memorial Day holiday. Originally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day began in the south after the Civil War. Inspired by the bravery displayed A colorguard marches in last year’s Crown Point Memorial Day pain the battle of Gettysburg, the rade. This year’s Memorial Day celebration will be held May 26 and 27. bloodiest fight in American hisPhoto by Nancy Frasier tory with nearly 55,000 causalities, southerners began to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers as a sign of respect and appreciation. The custom quickly spread to the north, where people were just as impressed with the gallantry shown at Gettysburg and throughout the Civil War. New York became the first state to officially recognize Memorial Day in 1873. Crown Point can and should take pride in its own contributions to freedom. Men from Crown Point were at Gettysburg„ a monument stands to their unit there. More than 100 men from Crown Point, an amazing number from a community of its size, formed Company H of the 5th New York Cavalry under the command of John Hammond (A monument to Hammond stands in Crown PointÍ s Forrestdale Cemetery.). The unit distinguished itself throughout the Civil War. Crown Point men also fought in Adirondack Regiment, 118th N.Y., seeing action in many of the Civil WarÍ s bloodiest battles. And those brave souls werenÍ t alone. Crown Point has contributed to each and every American conflict, sometimes making the ultimate sacrifice. This yearÍ s Memorial Day celebration will be held May 26 and 27. Crown Point’s festivities will include an ecumenical church service, a parade, fireworks, amusement rides, entertainment and vendors. But itÍ s important to note the community understands the significance of Memorial Day. Each year’s observance is built around the town’s traditional ñ solemn cemetery tour.î The tour includes stops at each of the communityÍ s cemeteries, where Boy Scouts present the colors, ñ Tapsî is played, the school chorus sings and a speaker notes the importance of the place and people buried there. The tour concludes at the Veterans Monument in the town park at noon. This year’s Memorial Day in Crown Point carries added significance. Crown Point is celebrating the 225th year of its founding. Congratulations to Crown Point for 225 years of history and for 145 years of reminding us of the true meaning of Memorial Day. „ Denton Editorial Board

Turning Back the Pages By Jean Hadden 100 Years Ago - May 1913 Henry Ashe starts hotel, loses leg

Community pillar Henry Ashe, proprietor of the Agricultural Hotel (now AsheÍ s Hotel) in Warrensburgh, had his left leg amputated above the knee June 1, 1913 at Bellevue Hospital in New York City. Thought weakened by long illness from blood poisoning which made the operation necessary, he passed safely through the trying ordeal and his condition now affords encouragement for the hope that he will speedily recover. The trouble started last fall when Mr. Ashe pared too closely a corn on the little toe of his foot, a raw sore developed and in spite of constant treatment continued to grow worse. It became so serious that only the knife could afford relief and about three weeks ago he went to Glens Falls Hospital and had the toe taken off. The infection continued to spread, however, and he went to New York for further treatment. The city surgeons at first expressed the opinion that the infection could be stopped without further recourse to the knife, but found themselves unable to check it and amputation was pronounced absolutely necessary to save the patientÍ s life and even this was considered a desperate chance. Mr. AsheÍ s son, Maurice Ashe, is with him in the city and he has other relatives there who will give him cheer and encouragement during his convalescence. (Note - Henry Ashe, once called ñ the dean of Warrensburgh landlords,î was a legend in his own time in the Queen Village and even though he is long gone, his Agricultural Hotel, now called AsheÍ s Hotel, still bears his name after 125 successful years. Henry Ashe was born in Thurman, Dec. 15, 1858, the oldest of James H. AsheÍ s nine children. James, a farmer, was born in Ireland and was a leading citizen of Thurman for 40 years. In 1888 he and his son, Henry ñ Hankî Ashe came to Warrensburgh and bought property

on upper Hudson St. from a man named Baker and it was there that they built their Agricultural Hotel which was an overnight success. James H. Ashe, 84, died in 1906. He is buried in the Warrensburgh Cemetery next to his father, H.G. Ashe, 52, who died in Ireland in 1847 and whose body was shipped here to be reunited with his family. JamesÍ mother, Bridget Ashe, 83, is there also. On Jan. 28, 1891 Henry Ashe married Miss Kate Ahearn and they had two sons, James, who died in 1904 when he was 12 years old and Maurice Ashe, who prospered and successfully carried on the family business until he died in 1972 at the age of 79 years. Henry lived for nine long years after his leg was amputated „ he died in 1922. Even with everyone in the Ashe family dead and gone, the old hotel lived on. It was operated for some time by James and Claire OÍ Neill. John and Robert Abbale purchased the historic building in June 1988, invested in its preservation and made some minor modern improvements. The buildingÍ s bar has been a popular attraction for decades, and is a charming architectural landmark that harks back to WarrensburgÍ s bygone era. Disc Jockey Lee Pecue was a staple entertainer at AsheÍ s for many years.

Teetotaler president sues paper

Col. Theodore Roosevelt took the stand as first witness in his suit for $10,000 against George A. Newett for alleged libel published in his newspaper, The Iron Ore. Newett in an editorial charged the ex-president with drunkenness. Col. Roosevelt entered a denial saying he did not smoke or drink beer. The general consensus was that ñ Whether he drinks wine or beer, or cocktails or mint juleps, or does not drink at all is nobodyÍ s business but his own.î Crowds had gathered early at the courthouse in Marquette, Mich. The doors were opened to the public until all the seats were filled.

Tributes to Becky Hitchcock

There is now a plaque hanging in the town hall to honor our beloved lifelong Thurman resident Becky Hitchcock. Becky passed away unexpectedly just a year ago, and at the May town board meeting a moment of silence was observed in her memory. Hitchcock was quite active in the community work, as well as serving on the town board.

Fire on Pine Mountain quelled

A forest fire erupted May 16 on the backside of Pine Mountain, also known as Hickory Hill. State Police helicopters doused the flames which consumed eight acres before it was all said and done. The woods are very dry, so please use caution when having a campfire outdoors. One simple mistake, and we lose valuable forests that take many decades to recover.

Help needed for food pantry

At a recent town board meeting board member Al Vasak brought to the attention of the board the request for the food pantry to be open more days and hours. Al states that this is a possibility if citizens are willing to volunteer their time to help with this. If you are interested in volunteering you time for this worthy cause, contact Al at 623-9669. The current hours for the food pantry are from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. on the first Monday of the month, and 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Tuesdays all other weeks.

Residents support local benefits

The fundraiser that the Thurman Station Association held May 17 for Claudia Jean Wheeler from Wolf Pond Stables was a huge success. Many local residents truly stepped up to the challenge by donating several items for the ñ white elephantî table. Also, many residents and businesses made dishes to be served at the buffet-style dinner. About $1,000 has been raised and that Claudia will have just enough money to purchase a new generator needed for supplying power to her home and stables. Special thanks go out to Persis Granger, Sally Feihel, Cheryl Kenyon and Winifred Martin for donating their time, also local Thurman business Nettle Meadow and surrounding businesses Stony Creek Inn, Jacob & ToneyÍ s and Grand Union for donating delicious dishes and gift cards. Thurman Emergency Medical Services held an auction of donated goods on MotherÍ s Day, and this fundraiser was quite successful, yielding $5,000. They also held a sale a sale Saturday May 18 at their Squad headquarters, which also raised needed funds. Squad officers would like to thank the community for attending and showing their support of this agency. The Townwide Garage sale was well attended and along with the bargain hunters who came to Thurman this weekend, so did the black flies. But this didn’t stop the shoppers or us Thurmanites. On a personal note, my dear friend Sally Feihel picked up a pair of vintage Pyrex bowls for me at a bargain price.

died May 13, 1913 of pulmonary tuberculosis. Her illness was of long duration extending over a period of eight years and her sufferings, especially during the last two years, were intense. She had a strong desire and hope for recovery and made a brave fight against the ravages of her terrible malady, but the progress of her illness although slow, was steady and sure. Her worthy husband gave her tender and devoted care and every comfort was provided for her. Besides her husband, she is survived by her father Edward Wood, five brothers and two sisters. Burial was in the Warrensburgh Cemetery. In other news, Edward Gabel, 27, a brother of Joseph Gabel of Warrensburgh, died May 16, 1913 at the Raybrook Sanitarium after a few months illness of tuberculosis of the lungs following an attack of typhoid fever. The body was taken to the home of the deceased in Albany.

Young man wins lawsuit

Benjamin F. Robinson, 18, who had brought an action against the Imperial Wall Paper Company of Glens Falls, to recover the sum of $20,000 for the loss of one of his hands which was amputated in a piece of machinery while he was working at the mill last winter, has accepted a very satisfactory settlement on the part of the company. He has been given a good-sized sum of money and a position in the mill which will develop into the best paying position the company has to offer.

Modern hotel to be built

A project has been launched to provide a modern hotel for Glens Falls for an eight-story brick structure has been drawn up by a prominent architect of New Rochelle and it will probably be erected this coming year on the site of the Hotel Ruliff at a cost of $350,000. The Hon. A.B. Colvin is understood to be backing the plan in Glens Falls and has interested several New York capitalists in it. (Note - The celebrated old Hotel Ruliff was on the north corner of Glen and South streets. It is doubtful that this grandiose plan ever came to fruition as the

Activities & events in the hills

buildings there today do not reflect it.)

Exciting horse races coming

What promises to be one of the most exciting horse races ever staged in Warren County will be held Memorial Day at the Warrensburgh Fair Grounds. There will be the same horses that provided one of the best races on that track in 1912 when a fifth heat was necessary to determine the winner in the first race. Daniel R. finally won the race. The horses entered this year are: Daniel R., owned by Daniel OÍ Rourke, and Bay Tom, owned by Ernest Ross and Inola, owned by L.T. West.

Sweet and sour notes

An eastern man has written to a judge asking him to send him a divorce by mail. The next thing, probably, that man will be asking somebody to send him a new wife by parcel post. The recent cold winds and frost will seriously affect fruit trees as the early apples are now in blossom. John E. Lanfear and Miss Ethel M. Dow, both of Thurman, were married May 1, 1913 by the Rev. C.S. Agan at the Methodist Episcopal parsonage in Warrensburgh. Mr. and Mrs. William H. Combs of Warrensburgh announce the May 14, 1913 marriage of their daughter Cordelia May Combs to John Gardner Hollister of Troy. The bride is a graduate of Samaritan Hospital Training School for nurses in Troy. Hartwell Austin is working in Loran R. DunlapÍ s store in Knowelhurst, Stony Creek. Erwin Baker is breaking a fine 3-year-old stallion for his grandfather, George H. Ingraham, overseer of the Meadowbrook Stock Farm in North Thurman. The colt is a dandy, a beautiful chestnut brown, and a fine stepper. Mr. Baker drove him to Garnet Sunday after he had only been hitched to a cart two or three times.

Facts about Memorial Day

Memorial Day, which occurs every year on the final Monday of May, is an occasion to remember the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. armed forces. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died while in the military service. Memorial Day is not to be confused with Veterans Day; Memorial Day is held to remember the men and women who died while serving, while Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, living or dead. WarrensburgÍ s Memorial Day parade will be held on Monday, May 27 starting at 9 a.m. behind the Elementary school and ending with a ceremony at St. CeciliaÍ s Cemetery on Hudson Street.

‘Dial-up’ Internet an endangered species in Thurman By Kathy Templeton

denpubs@denpubs.com THURMAN „ High-speed Internet access for hundreds of Thurman residents is now closer to reality, as ñ propagation studiesî of the initial wireless ñ white spaceî broadband transmission installations are now finishing up. White space transmission refers to broadcasting data signals over the frequencies of electromagnetic spectrum existing between vintage television channels. Unlike cell-phone and WiFi frequencies, white space transmission travels

good distances in rural, wooded and hilly areas. Fred Engelmann of Rainmaker Network Services is now analyzing data from the test transmission devices that were put in place this spring, and he is nearly ready to develop ñ buildoutî plans that will detail the equipment and its placement required to deliver Internet wirelessly to 80 to 90 homes in the north end of the town. This effort is the first phase of a project to bring broadcast Internet service to virtually all households in the town of 1,219 people. To date, most all of Thurman „ like many other Adirondack towns „ has no broadband

service except for satellite, which can be unreliable, and expensive, with slow upload speeds. Town Supervisor Evelyn Wood has reported that the white-space tests have yielded very positive results „ homes connected with the test devices had reliable and fast data connections. Also, Wood recently met with representatives from Frontier Communications and Verizon to discuss their potential roles in providing the trunk lines for the service. As soon as September, it is expected that the white space transmitters will be providing up to 90 Thurman households with reasonably priced, reliable high-speed Internet access „ enabling them to say î Goodbyeî to dial-up or satellite service. These households to first receive service are in the northern area of town, primarily South Garnet Lake Road, South Johnsburg Road and

toward Valley Road. Tentative plans for phase two call for the service to be extended to Dippikill and Glen-Athol roads. ThurmanÍ s white-space broadband project has been recognized nationally, as it is a pilot project for a very promising technology that is expected to change a lot of lives in rural areas of our nation. The Thurman white-space project, spearheaded by Evelyn Wood at the initial suggestion of Ava Ashendorff of Chestertown, has been described on National Public Radio, written up in the Senate Rural Resources magazine, and described on PBS television. Supervisor Wood, who applied for and obtained a $200,000 grant for the white space broadband access project, was interviewed recently for the Capitol Press Room radio show, broadcast statewide.

Dozens of Home Depot volunteers upgrade Chester veterans plaza thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN „ Luke Quagliana of Chestertown tamped down a paver in a new sidewalk he and a dozen fellow workers were constructing May 16 in the Chestertown Veterans Memorial Plaza. They were part of a crew of 40 volunteers, employees of several Home Depot stores in the Capital Region who came to build walkways and landscape at the Veterans memorial. They were taking an unpaid day off to assist in the project. Looking up from his work, Quagliana gazed at the four multiton granite monuments that bear hundreds of names of veterans and soldiers who fought in wars and conflicts over the past 275 years. ñ I feel for all those guys who have served or are serving now,î he said with a solemn face. ñ I wouldnÍ t be here working in the sunshine today if it werenÍ t for them.î One of those soldiers is QuaglianaÍ s son, Luke Jr., whoÍ s a Marine serving his second tour in Afghanistan.

At work finishing off a stone walkway at the Town of Chester Veterans Memorial Plaza were Chestertown residents (front, left to right) Steve Walters, Ray Hensler and Luke Quagliana. They were among the 40 Home Depot employees from six stores volunteering to upgrade the plaza May 16, installing new bushes, walkways, landscaping and stone benches. Photo by Thom Randall

Working next to Quagliana was Steve Walters, also from Chestertown. Both are Home Depot employees. Months Ago, Walters and his wife Linda alerted Home Depot about the Chestertown veteransÍ memorial project, prompting the home improvement chain to become involved. Walters said he and his wife wanted to do their part for the monument enhancement because they have a strong bond with Chestertown as well as a deep respect for service personnel defending our nation. Walters said they moved up to the area soon after the Sept. 11 2001 terrorist attacks. He knew people killed in the attacks and had friends working in the rescue and recovery efforts afterwards. ñ 9-11 was terrible,î he said. ñ Soon after, I said ï ThatÍ s it, weÍ re done,Í and we moved up north.î Steve and Linda drove up the Northway, and incidentally stopped off in Chestertown. ñ We just fell in love with the town, so we settled here,î Walters said. Working with Walters and Quagliana was Ray Hensler, whoÍ s been dedicated to local community service for years. His mother Pat Hensler, committed a lot of time to benefit the community. ñ It was important for me to be here to help out,î he said. The 40 Home Depot employees were from the firm’s stores in Queensbury, Saratoga, Clifton Park, Amsterdam and Schenectady, „ all working on their day off to do their part to honor the Town of Chester military personnel past and present, said Home Depot Regional Manager Rich Walpole of Albany. May 16, The group swarmed over the plaza, planting shrubs, building two sidewalks, and installing granite benches. ñ Our employees are doing this to thank the military personnel for what theyÍ ve done for our country,î he said. ñ This is from their heart „ itÍ s sweat equity „ this is their day off,î he added. Queensbury Home Depot Store Manager Carmen Carbone said he was pleasantly surprised with the efficiency of his coworkers. Their enthusiasm was apparently spurred by the employees forming teams to work separately on the two sidewalks, in a timed competition „ complete with friendly jibes and backtalk, Walpole said. ñ The group working on the northern walkway won, but it wasnÍ t fair,î Walpole said in mock dismay. ñ They had a jump start „ Anyway, I was holding back.î Carbone said the competition sped up the work way past expectations. ñ I thought this would take a full day, and they laid 2,000 pavers in two hours,î he said, adding a compliment for his assistant manager Alison Hubbard, who unloaded dozens of bushes single-handedly from a truck she drove up from Queensbury. Monument project coordinator Harry Bollback of Pottersville also said he was impressed.

î This is amazing,î he said of both the volunteer labor and the $11,000 donation of materials from the Home Depot Foundation. ñ This thing took on a life of its own.î The VeteransÍ Memorial Plaza is to be re-dedicated, with its new features, in a ceremony set for Saturday, July 6, the day of Chestertown Summerfest.

Gibson Brothers begin new tour with guests on mandolin By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com OLD FORGE „ The North CountryÍ s Gibson Brothers are maintaining world-class caliber performances this spring while promoting their newest album thanks to a succession of professional guests on the mandolin. In mid-April, mandolin player Joe Walsh announced he was parting ways with Ellenburg Depot natives Eric and Leigh Gibson after being with the band for more than four years. It came at a challenging time, as the Gibson Brothers began the busy festival season on the road without Walsh. They also began touring with a new CD, ñ They Called It Music,î recently released by Compass Records. Then thereÍ s the added pressure of being the 2012 IBMA Entertainers of the Year, an honor the brothers recognize but take in stride. As their song ñ They Called It Musicî topped Bluegrass TodayÍ s weekly chart for airplay on May 17, the Gibson Brothers were taking the stage at the Strand Theatre in Old Forge with guest mandolin player Jesse Cobb, formerly of the Infamous Stringdusters, who gave a ñ blisteringî performance, as Leigh described it. Cobb will be filling in on a few more dates, as will Sierra Hull, until the brothers choose WalshÍ s replacement. Adam Steffey will also be playing mandolin with the Gibsons and was with them this week at Bluegrass & BBQ in Branson, Mo. ñ We are using different award-winning mandolin players for the next month,î Leigh said in an email. ñ I wanted to make sure we had a quality performer with us while we decided who would take over the job without rushing to a decision. While you can never be certain someone will be the right answer for the long term, giving ourselves time to find the next player can only help make a better call.î Using a variety of mandolin players takes the pressure off of finding a full-time player right away, according to Leigh, who expects to have a new member in place by July. ñ But for now IÍ m having fun getting to know and work with some incredible pickers,î Leigh said. The performance in Old Forge was a homecoming of sorts for the Gibson Brothers, who were playing to a crowd of longtime fans and paddlers. Old Forge is on the southern end of their home turf in New YorkÍ s Adirondack Park and hosted the annual Paddlefest this past weekend. Both Clayton Campbell on the fiddle and Mike Barber on upright bass joined Eric and Leigh. Campbell has been with the Gibsons for nine years, and Barber for 20. ñ Because of that, we allowed him this year to get married,î Leigh said of Barber, who also co-produces albums with the brothers. ñ So heÍ s going to do that this fall.î Their set began with ñ Help My Brother,î title track to the 2011 IBMA Album of the Year. It was followed by a collection of songs from past albums, such as ñ Safe Passage,î ñ The Open Road,î

ñ Farm of Yesterday,î ñ Dreams That End Like This,î ñ Just LovinÍ You,î ñ Red Letter Day,î and ñ WalkinÍ West to Memphis.î It also featured music from their new album, including ñ The Darker the Night, the Better I See,î ñ Dying for Someone to Live For,î ñ Buy a Ring, Find a Preacher,î and the title track and the GibsonÍ s current No. 1 hit, ñ They Called It Music,î which Eric co-wrote with Joe Newberry. ñ There arenÍ t really singles in bluegrass music. Deejays play whatever they like to play,” Leigh said during the concert, filling the time while Eric tuned his banjo. ñ This is the one theyÍ re playing the most, so itÍ s kind of the song thatÍ s charting for us. I canÍ t believe it; IÍ ve written things for the record, and theyÍ re not really charting. But this one of EricÍ s is. Maybe thereÍ s still some payola out in the world EricÍ s using up.î Leigh told a story about the songÍ s beginning and how Newberry, of Raleigh, N.C., once spent some time picking with an elderly banjo player up in the hills. ñ And he asked him, ï This style of playing that you do, when you were playing it years ago, did they call it country music, did they call it bluegrass, folk, old time, whatÍ d they call it?Í And the fellow said, ï Son, they called it music,Í î Leigh said. ñ Two months

later, a lightning bolt finally clicked with Eric. It took him a while to figure it out. He said, ‘There’s a song in that.’ So he wrote it.” Eric also wrote the album’s final track, “Songbird’s Song,” which was the result of a three-day insomnia attack when the Gibson Brothers traveled to Denmark in 2012. “When we first got there, I was so tired,” Eric said on stage. ñ I said, ï IÍ m just going to take a little nap.Í And he (Leigh) said, ï DonÍ t do it.Í He said, ï YouÍ re going to mess yourself up. DonÍ t do it.Í And I said, ï DonÍ t tell me what to do.Í And he was right. I slept about four hours or so.î ñ He was walking the streets of Denmark,î Leigh added. ñ He knew where every hot dog stand was in Copenhagen.î The Old Forge concert was co-sponsored by Saratoga Guitar, operated by longtime musical friend Matt McCabe, of Saratoga Springs. Their encore performance was ñ Holding Things Together,î a tribute to Merle Haggard and symbolic of how the Gibson Brothers are getting along without Joe Walsh during their 2013 tour.

Conservation District workers clean up Halfway Brook, Hovey Pond

QUEENSBURY „ A group of people committed to environmental protection took time out of their workdays to clean up trash and litter along the historic Halfway Brook and adjacent Hovey Pond in Queensbury. On May 15, Warren County Soil & Water Conservation District staff and three volunteers collected eight contractor bags of garbage from three locations along Halfway Brook in just two hours. The sites they worked at were Hovey Park from Glen Street to Bay and Quaker Roads. Employees of the Queensbury Parks and Recreation Department picked up the trash the next morning from Hovey Park for disposal. Lieberum and agency employee Dean Moore expressed thanks to Queensbury Town Board member John Strough, as well as Craig Brown and Andrew Snell for assisting the District staff with the cleanup. Officials from Queensbury, along with the Conservation District, are planning to sponsor a second stream cleanup day later in the year and they are anticipating that more volunteers will participate. This program assists in satisfying one of the requirements of the state municipal stormwater system plan for Warren County and the Town of Queensbury. The goals of these types of events are to remove trash and debris from waterways and to educate the public on the potential impacts on water quality and fish and wildlife. For details or to volunteer, call 623-3119.

Rain, flies didn’t curtail fun at Black Fly Barbecue By Margaret Holmes

denpubs@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN „ The cold and rain during the afternoon of Sunday May 19 may have stymied black flies, but it didn’t stop plenty of hardy souls from attending the first-ever Black Fly Barbecue — the latest fundraiser for the North Warren Bicentennial celebration. The event, held at the Conservation Club in Chestertown, featured about 100 people from the region feasting on food prepared by J & R Catering. Many of those attending ate their meal and socialized on the back open-sided patio of the Conservation Club, despite the wind and rain. Besides barbecue chicken the menu featured salads, red potatoes, Phyllis ClevelandÍ s famous homemade rolls, and strawberry shortcake. Those attending the event enjoyed the music provided by deejay Phil Downey. Event Co-Chair Randy Duell was witnessed accidentally swallowing the one of the perky little insects memorialized in the eventÍ s name. He later commented in jest that it tasted just like chicken. The event raised money for a joint celebration of the Warren County Bicentennial hosted by the upcounty communities of Horicon and Chestertown. All are invited to attend the North Warren Bicentennial CommitteeÍ s next fundraiser, an ice cream social to be held June 26, FatherÍ s Day, at Dynamite Hill in Chestertown, beginning at 3 p.m. For details on upcoming fundraising events, see: www.northwarren200.com.

Warren County leaders approve earlier ‘last call’ in bars By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com

An earlier last call at bars isn’t going to prevent the late-night brawls and violence occurring frequently on South Street in Glens Falls, Fire & Ice tavern owner Doug Frost of Lake George advised the Warren County Board of Supervisors at a recent meeting. Frost continued that beefing up police patrols of the neighborhood would be a more effective remedy. The board decided Friday May 17 to prohibit alcohol sales after 3 a.m., an hour earlier than the present limit Photo by Thom Randall

QUEENSBURY „ Late-night drinkers in Warren County taverns will have an earlier ñ last callî in the future „ if a measure approved by county leaders Friday May 17 is confirmed by the state Liquor Authority. After a contentious debate at a county board meeting, county supervisors voted 10 to 9 to prohibit bars from serving alcohol after 3 a.m., an hour earlier than the present 4 a.m. limit in the county „ the state maximum. The weighted vote, favoring the more populated municipalities of Glens Falls and Queensbury over the upcounty towns, reflected a far wider margin. Supervisors voting for the measure, primarily from Glens Falls and Queensbury, contended that closing earlier than 4 a.m. would help cut down on violence as well as other crimes experienced in downtown Glens Falls, particularly South Street. DWI offenses would also likely be reduced too, they said. Those supervisors opposing the measure, primarily northern county supervisors, had argued that revenue in bars open late would suffer, and that the prevailing violence on South St. should be addressed with strengthened police patrols. Lake George Supervisor Dennis Dickinson and others also had said that the 4 a.m. last call accommodated employees of bars and restaurants going out after work to relax and socialize. ñ WeÍ re in a unique area, and the later hours are important for resort businesses,î Dickinson said, airing dismay over the vote. FridayÍ s vote was preceded by a parliamentary challenge launched by Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Wood in an effort to send the proposal back to a board committee. Proponents of the earlier closing time said the challenge was akin to a filibuster, but the measureÍ s opponents said the 3 a.m. closing time had bypassed board committee review „ a 2 a.m. closing time had been turned down by a 3-4 vote in a board committee not long ago. The parliamentary wrangling was quelled after several county leaders said the issue of closing earlier than 3 a.m. had been debated thoroughly over the past two months, and deserved a vote by the full county Board of Supervisors. After the vote to recommend the 3 a.m. bar closing to the state Liquor Authority, Glens Falls Ward Five Supervisor Bill Kenny said he was pleased with the outcome. He’d at first pushed for a 2 a.m., last call, citing statistics indicating that violence escalated downtown during the later nighttime hours. ñ ItÍ s about time,î Kenny said. ñ Three a.m. is a fair compromise.î Board of Supervisors Chairman Kevin Geraghty, who had opposed the measure as a hindrance to upcounty taverns, said the issue involved a problematic balance between not intervening how tavern owners conduct their business „ and maintaining public safety. ñ The vote outcome is what it is,î he said. ñ Now itÍ s up to the state Liquor Authority to see if they agree.î Earlier, Glens Falls Ward 2 Supervisor Peter McDevitt had called for the vote, reminding opponents of the measure theyÍ d have another opportunity to argue their case in the public hearings to be held by the Liquor Authority. Geraghty continued that in the meantime, heÍ d be reviewing whether nighttime police patrols in Glens Falls should be bolstered by county sheriff’s officers — and if so, who would pay for it. ñ WeÍ ll be working with the city to clean up their problems,î he said. Voting yes for the earlier last call were Glens Falls supervisors Peter McDevitt, Dan Girard, Bud Taylor, and Bill Kenny; Chester Supervisor Fred Monroe; Lake Luzerne Supervisor Gene Merlino; and Queensbury supervisors Ron Montesi, David Strainer, Bill Mason, and Mark Westcott. Voting No on the issue were Lake George Supervisor Dennis Dickinson, Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Wood, Bolton Supervisor Ron Conover, Hague Supervisor Edna Frasier, Horicon Supervisor Ralph Bentley, Johnsburg Supervisor Ron Vanselow, Queensbury supervisor Matt Sokol „ a bar owner; Stony Creek Supervisor Frank Thomas, and Warrensburg Supervisor Kevin Geraghty. Glens Falls Ward 4 Supervisor William Loeb was not present. The vote was cast soon after Lake George Mayor Robert Blais told the board heÍ d supported 3 a.m. based on his poll of village bar owners, two-thirds of whom said the earlier hour made no difference to them. Weeks ago, heÍ d voiced support for retaining 4 a.m. ñ Three a.m. is a just, fair compromise that will help all of the county,î he said, adding that a 3 a.m. last call would spread to Saratoga, allaying fears that patrons would drive elsewhere to drink. ñ This will spread to Saratoga County and be helpful to the city of Saratoga Springs as well.î Essex CountyÍ s recent endorsement of a 3 a.m. last call is now under consideration by the Liquor Authority. Hamilton County has a 2 a.m. limit due to a recent vote.

Clod hoppers

The one that got away...

Get the net...what net?

Hooking a fish is not the most difficult element of the angling equation. It is a task that most anyone can master. Landing a fish is a bit tougher. Netting a fish, now that part can be an art. Netting a fish can also be a very difficult task, especially without a net. ñ DonÍ t tell me you forget the net!î , my friend proclaimed as I furiously began to fumble through my pack. ñ Yeah, I did!î , I admitted as I labored to bring a big brook trout to the surface. I had been fighting with it for about five minutes, and I still hadn’t been able to get it to the surface. ñ What are you going to do?î , he asked. “Well, it’s too big to fit in my hat, and I can’t shoot it; so IÍ ll have to hand-land it.î Five hard fought minutes passed before I got a look at it, and it was huge.! It was a large, slab-sided brook and I was struggling to get it near the boat. Every time I got it close, it would dive for the depths and my drag would scream. My line was just a 4-pound test monofiliment, and Joe Hackett shows off the fat brookie he the trout appeared to be every ounce of that and maybe hand-landed. Below, Joe’s buddy John attempts to land an even bigger fish by hand. more. My arm tired from the fight, and I was forced to trade hands several times. Finally, the bruiser was slowing down and I got it to the surface. With the first look, my adrenaline kicked in and I worked hard to bring it alongside the boat. After a few more runs, it bellied up and I was able to gently grasp it by the gill plate, and toss it in the boat. My friend was laughing so hard the entire boat was shaking, or maybe it was just the rush of adrenaline after seeing the size of the fish I had just caught. Either way, I was happy, I had a meal to take home as in return for the long, hard portage, the swarms of blackflies, the muddy put-ins and all those long, steep hills. ItÍ s surprising how much pain can be forgotten in the brief euphoric moments that a trout is in hand. We laughed and joked about the catch, and as soon as we were rigged, my friend tossed a line over the side. Almost instantly, he was into another giant brookie. It took line off his reel in strong diving runs, and he fought back. He battled it, up and out of the water, down and all around. I spun the boat around several times to keep the fish away. My friend handled it well, and after a long, seesaw battle, he finally brought the brookie alongside the boat, By this time, we had attracted an audience and another boater offered a net. We looked at each other, and the net was refused. He had to hand land the bruiser. Gently, he cupped the big fish in his hands and tried to lift it in the boat. It was out of the water and almost in the boat when he dropped it back in the water. The fish sounded, stripping line off the reel in a steady ï zzz-zzzz,Í but the line held. Less than a minute later (which is an eternity in an anxious anglerÍ s mind) the big boy was again back on the surface, and I quickly swung the boat around to bring the fish up along broadside. Again, he brought the fish alongside the boat, and with his rod held high, he scooped it into the boat, launching it like a center hiking a football. The big brookie landed on top of our packs, which were nearly an equal distance from both of us. And as we each reached to grab it, the big fish slapped hard on the pack and launched itself over the side. My friend looked aimlessly at the water, and in the boat, his rod still in hand and a bewildered look in his eyes. We had a good laugh, and after a few more attempts we decided to pack out and head for home. Our fish story was complete, but a long journey lay ahead. And best of all, we had the photos to prove it.

isms. Organic matter also has a high cation exchange capacity (CEC). The cation exchange By Rich Redman capacity is what holds the nutrients to organic matter and soil particles so they can be used by the plants. Cations are positively charged and are the base elements like calcium, magnesium and potassium. When cations are deficient in soils, they become acidic. The pH (potential hydrogen) of a soil is the measure of acidity or alkalinity. A pH of 7 is neutral, below 7 is acidic or low in cations and above 7 is alkaline. Nutrients become more available to plants when the pH is around 6.3 to 6.8. That doesnÍ t mean you need to have your soil in that pH range. You need to know what the plants you want to grow prefer. Blueberries prefer a more acid soil and alfalfa likes a higher pH. Limestone is added to raise the pH. Limestone is composed of calcium; a cation. ThatÍ s why dairy farmers who grow alfalfa have the lime trucks spreading the white dust every once in a while. The white dust is ground up limestone rock, which is fine in texture so it reacts quickly. Limestone is high in calcium adding cations to the soil, so the pH is raised to meet the plant requirements. Anions are the negatively charged nutrients like nitrogen. They can be easily lost to the atmosphere or to leaching. Most of these elements come from the decomposition of organic material by soil microbes and are released in acidic solutions with water. Chemical fertilizer such as ammonium nitrate, or decaying grasses and clovers, release nitrogen to the soil for plant roots to take up in solution. So if you want to improve your garden you need to make sure you have the right pH and soil nutrients. The best way to find out what is in your soil and what is needed for your plants, is to get a soil test. Drainage and aeration are also important to growing plants. Too much water saturates the soil and doesnÍ t let oxygen in to break down organic matter to release nutrients. Too much natural drainage like gravel soils would have and plants may need irrigation during droughty periods. For small gardens drainage is usually not an issue, but for large farms, saturated soils can reduce crop production by tons per acre. Large commercial farm operations get the nutrients they need from commercial fertilizers, plowed down sod and animal manures. If you are striving for an organic approach, plowed down grasses and clovers add organic matter and allow the slow release of nutrients during the decomposition process. Compost is an excellent source of nutrients for organic production of vegetable and fruit crops. Animal manures and vegetative waste that are composted provide a slow release of nutrients to your plants and provide tilth. I must express a word of caution, about using fresh manure. When fresh manure is added to a garden it may cause a temporary loss of nitrogen. The soil microbes use the nitrogen for their growth. As they die off the nitrogen is released back to the soil. Fresh manure can also draw insects, so compost it first to help stabilize the nutrients and to kill off weed seeds. Cover crops are used by both commercial farmers and organic farms. Cover crops such as winter rye and wheat are planted while a crop is growing by aerial means or after a crop is harvested in the fall. The plants are allowed to grow throughout the fall until dormancy from winter. In spring growth begins again, and the soil nutrients are taken up by the roots of the growing plant, saving them from leaching away. The rye or wheat is then plowed or roto-tilled into the soil and allowed to start the decomposition process again. The nutrients are recycled in the soil by plant to soil and back to another plant. If you have ever walked a plowed field of clay and had those sticky clays cling to your boots making them heavy and hard to walk, you are what were called in the depression years, a clod hopper! So to all you clod hoppers out there who want to improve your garden: first, make sure drainage and aeration are good, get a soil test, adjust the pH for your crops, and then add fertilizer and organic matter. From one clod hopper to another, you now get to enjoy the independence of growing your own crops for food, just like the professional farmers do. Good eating to all!

nyone who has ever spent time on the water has heard the story about the big one that got away. And most anyone who spends much time fishing, has told a tale or two, sometime honestly, and surely a few that werenÍ t. In all of my years, watching the action from the tail end of the boat; IÍ ve witnessed plenty of odd scenes. I’ve watched fish break fishing lines, and pop the hooks off a lure. I’ve seen two fish landed on a single lure use, with one hanging on each of the treble hook. On several occasions, I’ve also seen a larger fish caught while reeling in a smaller fish. It happens more often than youÍ d think, especially with pike and largemouth bass. IÍ ve had salmon that were hooked leap clear out of the water, and land in the boat, and I had one fellow who jumped out of the boat, when there was a 32 inch pike thrashing around on the floor in front of him. Over the course of time, IÍ ve gotten to be pretty good with a landing net. IÍ ve scooped up many fishing, as well as small dogs, a few kids and at least a thousand or so fish. I also used a really long handled net to dredge the lake bottom after the waves had washed all our beer out to sea. And it actually worked! Whenever possible, I’ve attempted to let fish loose without using a net, and it’s usually an easy process, especially when using barbless hooks. I simply hold onto the shaft of the hook and turn it upside down, and usually the fish will fall right off. Occasionally, IÍ ll use a pair of forceps, or needle nose pliers to remove a hook. ItÍ s rarely a problem to extract a hook from bass, especially largemouth. IÍ ve caught bass that were large enough to allow me to stick my fist in their maw. I’ve also taken tiny little brookie fingerlings that were so delicate I dared not to touch them. I’d simply shake them off the barbless hook.

stopped to get my morning cup of hot black coffee. I always get coffee before I start out on a mission, whether itÍ s to get hay, hauling gravel for my woods road, or going fishing. In my early years, I was a professional, over the road, tractor-trailer driver out of western New York. Black coffee and cigarettes were a driverÍ s road companions! I gave up the butts. But, ñ they will have to pry my coffee cup from my cold dead hands if they want it.î I wonÍ t give that up! While getting my brew, a friend asked: ñ When are you going to write about helping me get my garden to grow?î The thought of compost and planting crops has been rolling around in my mind lately, so here are some basics on earth management. Geomorphology is the study of the earthÍ s land formations. The glaciers formed during a cooling period and became the major land crafting tool in our area. The ice sheets and melting runoff, ground off mountain tops, and scoured out the valleys. As the earth warmed and the ice melted, large streams and lakes were formed. Streams carried soils and gravels and deposited them as the velocities slowed. Sediment in lakes settled to the bottom. As the ice disappeared, the rivers and lakes were reduced in size. Old shorelines and beaches, river outwash and gravel bars were formed. What we have now, are the remnants of that period. Clays were formed in our area when it was covered in water. The fine, crushed and ground rocks from the glaciers settled to the bottom of the lake and are now clays. Glacial streams and eskers left deposits of sands and gravels, just like you see in todayÍ s streambeds. Old beaches, and the banks and mouths of ancient streams are where many sand deposits are today. Moving water made the decision as to what was left behind. Fast currents carried the smaller particles and left the larger cobbles and boulders behind. Slower moving waters allowed the finer materials to settle out, just like you would see in the profile of a stream today. The glaciers receded and the runoff made its way to the sea. Eventually, vegetation started taking root in the material left behind, working its way up from the south. The cycle of life and death started the accumulation of organic material on the surface, just like the topsoil we have today. Soils are composed of particles of stone, organic matter and soil organisms. The stone fraction is sand, silt, clay or a mixture of these. In our area, we also have cobbles and boulders, but IÍ m not considering them part of the garden soil, although if you drove by my place, boulders do pop out of the ground like dandelions every year! Clays are the finest stone particles, and then comes silts and finally sands. They are all stone, just different sizes. But that difference in size makes a considerable challenge as to how to manage them. As a gardener, the topsoil is where you grow your plants, but the subsoil and material underneath make it easy or hard to manage. Now were back to sand, silt and clays again. Sands are the larger particles so there are minute spaces between each grain of sand which allows excellent drainage. But, because of the large spaces, sands allow nutrients to leach out quickly. Heavy clays are the fine particles of stone and have the opposite effect; they donÍ t drain well, but hold lots of nutrients. You canÍ t do much to change the soil type in your garden unless you want to mix sand in with the clays or vice versa. You can add organic matter though. Organic matter in the form of manure, compost and plowed down cover crops add tilth to your garden soil. Tilth is the ability to hold water, add structure to the soil and make it crumble in your hands when you hold it and break it apart. The organic fraction in soil is what makes the clays easier to work and the sands hold moisture and nutrients. Organic matter is the life blood of your soils. Organic matter holds the moisture during droughty periods. It also contains many of the micronutrients and is home to the soil organ-

Wall St. Journal from page 1

The news story featuring Thurman has been aired on television and published in print media from San Jose to Canada and throughout Europe. As of Tuesday evening, the article describing the Thurman apostrophe affair was mentioned on no less than 475,000 web pages. Newman has traveled all over the world to report on quirky situations that have broad intellectual appeal, and Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Wood said Sunday May 19 she was happy he visited Thurman and focused on JimmyÍ s Peak rather than PikeÍ s Peak in Colorado or another destination with an apostrophe quagmire. ñ This was something that doesnÍ t happen every day,î Wood said. ñ Barry called me and asked me if anyone in town would be interested in talking to him about JimmyÍ s Peak, and I said Í Of course they would.Í î The article notes that Wood, 35, possesses a college degree in English, and it quotes her objecting to the apostrophe being deleted, as doing so obscures the difference in a reference between plural and possessive. ñ Apostrophes are an important part of our language and I like to see them used,î Wood said Sunday. Newman apparently discovered that Thurman was host to a

The official naming of Jimmy’s Peak, as shown in a vintage postcard, has not only sparked a mini-controversy in Thurman, but it has garnered the rural town some national exposure — over a deleted apostrophe. Postcard courtesy of John Hastings of Queensbury

source of literacy „ the Adirondack Mountain WritersÍ Retreat founded by local resident Perky Granger, and he quoted her defense of the apostrophe in his article, too. The article also quotes Susan Jennings, a descendant of Thurman settler James Cameron „ for whom ñ JimmyÍ s Peakî has been named locally. More than two years ago, she lobbied to have the name officially established by the U.S. government. Keep in mind, this naming issue surfaced in Thurman „ where whoÍ s heading up a town youth committee, or what hours the food pantry operates, can spark angry public debates laced with insults and accusations. JenningsÍ action, however benign it might appear, prompted Lillie Cameron, 82, to make a formal protest to the Domestic Names Committee of the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. Cameron contended that the wrong peak of the trio of hills referred to locally as ñ The Three Sistersî was being named Jimmys Peak, Newman reported.

The federal Committee on Names responded by voting to delete the name from its latest digital maps, Newman stated. The Committee is now considering Willard Mountain for the peakÍ s official name, he said. Jennings said Sunday she wasn’t going to make a fight of it — she was merely seeking to have a local unnamed peak bear the locally-used name. ñ IÍ m through with all this,î she said, noting she was frustrated at seeing her mountain naming effort thwarted, but she did have fun giving Newman a tour of Thurman while he was in town. Sunday, Wood wasnÍ t focusing on the controversy „ instead, she was pleased for the international exposure for her rural town, she said. ñ The Journal article was light-hearted, and it introduced a lot of people to our town „ people who otherwise might never hear of Thurman. ñ It was really cool.î

Comptroller visit from page 1

Betty Little (left rear) introduces Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli (center rear) to Warren County Board of Supervisors Chairman Kevin Geraghty (right rear) as DiNapoli makes his way around a table greeting county leaders. Other county supervisors are (front, left to right): Hague Supervisor Frasier and Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Wood. Photo by Thom Randall

Later, Queensbury Supervisor Ron Montesi asked DiNapoli about whether his office tracked how much state Lottery revenue actually bankrolled public education, its original stated purpose. Answering for DiNapoli, Sen. Little said that sum was $3.4 billion for 2012. DiNapoli said that state Lottery revenue was deposited in the state General Fund, out of which state Aid for education was drawn. ñ ItÍ s an accounting mechanism,î he said. DiNapoli was also asked if a dollar value had been calculated reflecting the actual benefits stemming from the tax breaks and incentives awarded Global Foundries. ñ I canÍ t give you hard numbers, but economic development experts saw it as a great opportunity,î he said about the multibillion chip-fabrication development based in Malta, and the spin-off high technology industries attracted to the Capital Region. “Their objectives are now being fulfilled in a positive way.” After DiNapoliÍ s 90-minute presentation, Warren County Board of Supervisors Chairman Kevin Geraghty praised the state Comptroller for his outreach to Warren County. ñ DiNapoli is an effective advocate for local communities, and showing up here is a good thing for the region,î Geraghty said. State Assemblyman Dan Stec of Queensbury said he supported DiNapoliÍ s commitment to reinvesting pension fund cash into in-state businesses. “Investing in New York businesses benefits the state’s economy and creates jobs,î he said, adding that any area business with a qualifying need should contact him or Sen. Little as well as DiNapoli for potential assistance. ñ ItÍ s a great idea and a winwin situation.î

While job growth has been relatively strong overall in the state, itÍ s been primarily with businesses and industry, and not in government or schools, which have experienced substantial downsizing, he said. Region faces special problems Despite the statewide economic rebound, a variety of issues are exerting financial stress to municipalities, residents and businesses in the Adirondacks, he said. ñ There are unique challenges in this part of the state including environmental issues,î he said. noting how a balance was necessary between economic development and environmental protection. In addition, the population in the Adirondack Park is declining, and the Park residents remaining are aging and requiring more services, at a time government revenue is declining, he said. ñ Each part of the state has its own challenges,î he continued. However, things are looking up in Warren County, he said, noting that retail sales are up, resulting in a 2.6 percent increase in sales tax revenue for 2012. Fiscal pressures on state, county and local governments are bound to continue, DiNapoli predicted, noting that federal aid has been cut while costs are increasing. ñ Financial stress is not a passing phase,î he remarked, adding how no real progress has been made on mandate relief. “Difficult choices on spending will continue.î ï Fiscal StressÍ system ramping up DiNapoli said his agency is launching a research and outreach program that analyzes municipalities’ financial data and identifies those at risk of bankruptcy or default. This fiscal stress monitoring system, he said, would provide an early warning of substantial financial problems he said, noting the Comptroller’s office will be publishing the list. “This is not meant to be finger-pointing, but to inform and engage the local taxpayers and citizens so they can provide more thoughtful input,î he said. Pension cash for NY enterprises DiNapoli noted that his office had established the In-state Private Equity Program to steer investment money from the state pension fund to help local businesses either start up or expand and prosper „ or assist out of-state businesses in moving to New York State. This program, he said, has already resulted in $641 million being invested to date in 246 companies across the state, including $22 million for Navilyst (recently acquired by Angio-Dynamics) in Glens Falls, he said. ñ WeÍ re trying to recycle state pension fund dollars right back into the stateÍ s economy,î he said. DiNapoli: ï claim your cashÍ Also, DiNapoli touted his agencyÍ s program of publishing names of those due unclaimed funds held by the sate „ a total of $12 billion belonging to individuals and businesses, culled from checks left uncashed from as long ago as 1940. To make his point, DiNapoli hauled out three giant checks to local entities reflecting their balances existing now in his office’s Unclaimed Funds depository. He presented a check of $200 to the Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce represented by Peter Aust, ARCC President; $651.83 to the Glens Falls National Bank represented by its president, Thomas Murphy, and $532 to the City of Glens Falls „ with Sen. Little accepting the check.
