INDIAN LAKE | The recent cold snap might be a problem for some, what with stocking up on firewood, cold-starting cars, and the necessity of salt-covered roads.

But ice fishermen see it as improving conditions for fishing.

Ernie Pollman, vice-president of the Indian Lake-Blue Mountain Fish & Game Association, said a good cold spell in December can only help establish think surface of ice before the group’s annual Ice Fishing Derby on Jan. 20. » Derby Cont. on pg. 4

LAKE GEORGE | Efforts to preserve, promote and protect Lake George are the focus of 10 of the state’s Regional Economic Development Awards announced Dec. 13 by Gov. Cuomo.

The awards related to Lake George, pledged to various local municipalities and environmental entities, totals $3.18 million.

At the top of the list is $2.5 million towards a major upgrade to the Lake George Village sewer treatment plant. » Wastewater Cont. on pg. 3

GLENS FALLS | New Yorkers gained a new safety net on Jan. 1.

The state’s new paid family leave law is among the most generous in the nation, allowing job-protected time off to bond with a new child, care for sick family members or pitch in when a loved one in the military is deployed.

Employees may now take up to eight weeks of paid leave at 50 percent of their average weekly wage.

When fully phased in over the next four years, state residents will be eligible for up to 12 weeks of paid time off annually at 67 percent. » Family leave Cont. on pg. 2

OP Frederick’s will use grant to open microbrewery REDC award to stimulate economic development

By Christopher South STA FF W RITER

CHESTERTOWN | Brewing beer takes hops, malted barley, yeast, and some seed money doesn’t hurt either.

OP Frederick’s Restaurant and Tavern owner Bruce Hodgson confirmed his business has received a $90,000 Empire State Development Grant as part of the latest round of awards from the Regional Economic Development Council program.

The money will be used to help start OP Frederick’s microbrewery, under his corporation name, Hudson Hollow Hops, Inc. Hodgson, who has been brewing his own beer for 25 years, said he has always wanted to start a brewery. Last summer, he applied for a grant, guided along the way by the Warren County Economic Development Commission and its president Ed Bartholomew.

Hodgson called the funds a “huge chunk of change,” but added it would not cover all the costs of starting up a microbrewery.

“It will cover about 20 percent of the overall cost,” he said.

“We will need to do some expansion. We will build out a little on the existing deck, off back, and stay within that footprint.”

Hodgson, who is also a math teacher at the Minerva Central School, said the brewing equipment will also cost money, but he is banking on his personal experience and the appeal of microbreweries. He said he would be making some beers he has already brewed with good success.

“I make a very good IPA, a porter that I like, a Scotch ale... hopefully a specialty ale I’ve been working on for years,” he said.

The brewery would also most likely make a hard ginger beer.

One of the details not certain is what the microbrewery, and its beer, would be called.

The leading candidate for the business name would be the Hudson Hollow Hops Brewing Company. Hodgson said he would be following some other local or regional microbreweries, including Paradox Brewery (Schroon Lake), Common Roots Brewing (Glens Falls), Adirondack Pub & Brewery (Lake George) and Lake Placid Pub & Brewery.

“Micro-brewing is a really growing sector and it’s starting to get saturated, but not where we are - not in this little section of the Adirondacks,” he said.

Hodgson said people like to support local ventures. Currently he has at least four local beers on tap. He said the microbrewery would provide some local jobs. He currently

Hodgson is hoping to begin construction in the spring and have the brewery up and running by summer.

“There is a caregiver shortage in the country and it’s only going to get worse,” Leahy said.

The program is mandatory for nearly all private employers, and public employers may opt into the program.

Coverage will be included as a rider to an employer’s existing disability insurance policy, and will be funded by employees through payroll deductions.

Contributions in 2018 will be 0.126 percent of an employee’s weekly wage.

“It is a very small amount, about $1 a paycheck,” said Zach Hutchins, director of communications for the Business Council of New York State.

Erik Rettig, the northeast/mid-Atlantic director of the Small Business Majority, said the law will be beneficial to small businesses.

“Many small employers want to offer paid leave benefits to their employees, but simply don’t have the resources to Beginning on Jan. 1, state residents may take up to eight weeks of paid leave at 50 percent of their average weekly wage. Gov. do so,” Rettig said in a statement.

Korean war vet, 86, tied a lot of flies Wife tagged along during 43 years of fishing

By Christopher South STA FF W RITER

JOHNSBURG| “Do you fish?” was the first thing Hank Allen asked after inquiring as to which newspaper the reporter was from.

Allen, 86, quickly turned the conversation at the lunch table at the Johnsburg Senior Center to fly tying, and even had a copy of American Angler to display as a way of illustrating what he was talking about.

“Do you want to see how they are tied?

Shown are just some of the thousands of fishing flies Hank Allen has tied over his lifetime. Allen has tied everything from little nymph flies to dragon fly sized fishing flies.

I mean, you don’t have a train to catch, do you?” Allen said.

At his home on Route 8 in Johnsburg, Allen did not have his vice set up, otherwise he probably would have made one on the spot, his wife Marye said.

“In his day, he could whip one up for you pretty fast,” she said.

Allen, born March 30, 1932, grew up in Gansevoort, Saratoga County, one of seven brothers and four sisters.

The family had a milk route and he used to milk cows before walking three miles to get to school. He served in the U.S. Army in Korea, then went to work mainly in paper mills in the northeast, including mills in “Stinkin’” Lincoln and Calais, Maine, and in Glens Falls.

Allen was a certified welder, so he had no worries about finding a job, he said. He said his brother Ray also followed him into work at the paper mills.

He did a lot of fishing in his youth, fishing the brooks and streams around Gansevoort, and he just continued everywhere he went, throughout his life.

At some point, he decided to start tying his own flies.

“I’ve caught a few fish and I’ve made a few flies,” Allen said.

Marye said Hank must have made a million flies, and he tried to get her to tie flies, but she never quite caught the bug.

“He wanted me to learn to tie, and I did,” Marye said. “You start out with a moderate sized hook, a few strips of fur, and the thing is you’ve got to get your rhythm.”

Allen has a roomful of materials for making flies, including peacock and jungle cock feathers, ostrich feathers, chenille, and various colors of streamers and thread. Basically, the fly is

» Wastewater Cont. from pg. 1 The village received an earlier pledge of $4.27 million towards a virtually new wastewater treatment plant, which was expected to cost $17 million.

But a recent review of the plans indicated the new facility might cost as much as $20 million, and Lake George Mayor Robert Blais has said for months that the local residents would only be able to shoulder up to $7 million of the facility’s cost.

Blais was on vacation this week and unavailable for comment, but other Lake George officials said the grant would move the project a step closer to realization.

Also awarded was $200,000 towards a regional road deicing program, spearheaded by the village, to substitute environmentally friendly substances and equipping snow plows with high-tech de-icing equipment.

Warren County was awarded $600,000 to boost its ongoing efforts to curb milfoil from Lake George through harvesting and other methods, as well as pay to staff boat inspection stations to inspect watercraft for various invasive species.

made by winding thread around the shank of the hook, and you add strips of animal hair and feathers to make it look like a bug.

Depending on the size of the bug you are trying to imitate, one can either wind enough thread to make it appear to be a head or use black or gold caps. Marye said Hank would cut open a fish to see what it was eating. He would then attach a vise to the opened glove compartment door and tie a fly that looked like what the fish were eating at the time.

ond-highest number of grant awards to a single community in the Capital Region.

“This was huge,” he added. A grant application for $250,000 to create the proposed six-acre “Yonder Hill”park next to the town hall was not funded. The other application not awarded was $160,000 or so to address stormwater pollution issues in the area of Beatty and Cedar roads in Snug Harbor east of Million Dollar Beach.

“We’re absolutely excited about these grant awards,” town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson said, praising Barusch for his expertise in grant-writing. “These awards help so much in relieving pressure on the taxpayers.”

In addition, $114,398 was pledged in this round of grant awards to the Warren County Soil and Water Conservation District to install stormwater control projects in both Lake George and Queensbury designed to curb pollution of groundwater and area waterways.

Also, a grant of $40,000 was pledged to the Lake George

flies down to little nymphs.

“The nymphs develop and come up off the brook, and the swallows dive after them and the trout leap out of the water after them,” Marye said.

She said one evening Hank was casting for trout when she noticed a lot of commotion. She put down the book she was reading and found out that a bat had taken the fly on one of Hank’s casts. He had to cut the line to get it off.

“That was enough to make a horse eat its bedding,” Allen said. ■

Lake George Association Executive Director Walt Lender said this week he was happy about the number and amount of grant awards targeting the protection of Lake George’s water quality.

“We’re very pleased these important projects were funded, and we are looking forward to getting started on them as soon as we can,” he said, noting that his organization is involved in both contributing to the projects and implementing them. “All in all, the Lake George region did very well in this funding round.” ■

The town of Lake George received four grants for the full amount requested.

The largest one is for $125,000 to bankroll 10 roadside and stream-bank stabilization projects on Lakeview Circle Drive and adjacent roads off Route 9N across the highway from the Tahoe Resort on Lake George. The goal is to reduce soil erosion and prevent nitrogen, phosphorus and solids from washing into Lake George.

The second-largest grant was for $120,000 to help pay for the estimated $300,000 cost of the slip-lining of sewer mains and manholes on Beach Road, Westbrook Road, and perhaps a section of Sewell St. in the village. The work is to curb effluent from both infiltrating and emanating from the sewer mains.

An additional $100,000 is to pay to complete an engineering report on the town’s Caldwell Sewer District to identify the above problems, as well as determine the condition and fate of several aging pumps.

This latter project was mandated by the state Department of Environmental Conservation, following the discovery of sewer leaks, which resulted in legal action. The study is expected to cost $125,000.

Also, $25,000 was awarded to fund a study of a proposed consolidation of town and village public works departments and forming a “motor pool” — a staffed garage that would service vehicles of both municipalities as well as the Lake George Central School District.

“We’re really happy about the awards,” Lake George Town Planning Director Dan Barusch said, noting that he had submitted requests for six grants, but won four — the sec-

Town clerks overwhelmed with deluge of tax prepayments

By Thom Randall STA FF W RITER

QUEENSBURY | Town clerks across northern Warren County were busier than ever in their last few days of 2017 as they processed property tax prepayments for people seeking relief on their 2017 federal income taxes.

Hundreds of local residents took advantage of an executive order by Gov. Andrew Cuomo allowing taxpayers to make advance payments on their 2018 property taxes before changes to the federal tax code restricts tax deductions.

Warrensburg Town Clerk Donna Combs said her office was fielding a steady stream of phone calls and taking in payments nonstop all week long.

“It was really nuts right after Gov. Cuomo made his proclamation,” she said. “It’s been really, really crazy here since the day after Christmas with inquiries and people making payments.”

Combs added that people couldn’t access their tax information online until 3 p.m. Friday Dec. 29, and had instead called the town hall to obtain the sum due.

And the town’s online credit-card payment system wasn’t » Derby Cont. from pg. 1 “It looks like conditions will be pretty good unless the temperatures change, holy moly,” he said. “It’s been a long time since we had a decent snow in December. There is usually nothing to groom in December.”

Pollman, a member of the Snow Warriors Snowmobile Club in Indian Lake, said they groom the trail for snowmobiling once there is enough snow.

“This is a good start to a winter. I want my snow in December and January, not in February,” he said.

Pollman said typically the ice on Adirondack Lake is 14 inches thick, or thicker by the third Saturday in January, depending on

operational early in the week.

This frantic work in accepting tax payments was in addition to the routine tasks of processing sewer bills and water meter readings and special board meeting minutes, Combs said. The crushing workload prompted her to summon Gail Corlew to come back from her vacation to help.

“It’s been a nightmare,” she said, noting that she gave taxpayers her cell phone number so she could answer inquiries after hours Dec. 29.

As of 3:45 p.m. on Dec. 29, she had received $38,000 in payments for the day, following $27,700 earlier in the week.

Combs said that mailed payments — with a U.S. Postal Service postmark of Dec. 31 or prior — will be credited in 2017.

The total tax payments received were far larger in Lake George, according to Town Clerk Deb Foley.

Forty-five minutes before her office closed on Friday, Foley had tabulated $500,000 in advance tax payments, yet had two high stacks of payments on her desk yet to process.

“Oh my God, it’s crazy,” she said, noting she would be working over the weekend to finish tabulating the tax payments on her computer. She noted Town Comptroller Rachel

the temperatures. Only twice in the past has the association had to cancel the derby due to poor ice conditions; and then it is normally poor “shore-to-ice” conditions.

“The biggest problem is when there is a lot of snow and it turns to slush. It’s hard for four-wheelers, snowmobiles, or even people to move around on, although there might be 14 inches of ice below it,” Pollman said.

Snow insulates the water beneath from the cold air above and slows down the freezing process.

Pollman said the thickness of the ice varies, but it usually freezes thoroughly. He said it is important to know the lake when ice fishing, noting a fatal drowning in Bolton Pond on Dec. 18. Pollman said that was probably too early to be ice fishing.

//~ !~\\CHURCH

Jacobs and Town Supervisor Secretary Kathie Erceg were helping her cope with her workload.

Town clerks in Horicon and Chester were too busy to answer the phone on Dec. 29. Both had their tax warrants available online, accompanied by payment instructions.

“There’s been a steady stream of people coming into the town clerk’s office over the past three days,” said Chester Supervisor Craig Leggett, noting that town clerk Mindy Conway was receiving assistance from deputy clerk Florence Converse, and the workload meant at least one of the two would be working nights.

“Who knew this was going to happen?” Leggett said with a sigh.

Those who called the Horicon clerk’s office late last week heard a recording so office employees could spend their time processing tax payments instead of answering the never-ending inquiries.

Supervisor Matt Simpson said desperate taxpayers were calling all the town office extensions, including his, with questions about tax prepayments.

Asked about the workload, Simpson laughed.

“The first day, the inquiries were non-stop. Wednesday, it was incredible,” he said. “Our town clerk Krista Wood has been overwhelmed at times, but she’s been handling it very well,” he said. ■

The Indian Lake-Blue Mountain Fish & Game Association Ice Fishing Derby is always held the third Saturday in January, with the first Saturday in February as the alternate day. Pollman said so far they have never had to reschedule the event.

“It’s an annual thing on Adirondack Lake, and it’s as much of a social event as a fishing event,” he said.

Families show up with grills, coolers, and crock pots, and try to catch the biggest fish.

Adirondack Lake is not very large, but it is convenient and had easy access, he said.

Indian Lake’s Byron Park is located there, which has public restrooms.

Registration the day of the event starts at

5:30 a.m., and the derby runs from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. The association gives out hourly prizes, awarding cash for pike and perch. There are also door prize drawings throughout the day.

“People really look forward to this, and we look forward to a well-received and large crowd,” Pollman said.

Registration is limited to 220 people, although the numbers, like the temperature, varies from year to year. Pollman said people come from far and wide for the ice fishing derby, with many coming from the capital district. He said a lot of people who have summer camps will come up for ice fishing derby weekend. Ironically, members of the Indian Lake-Blue Mountain Fish & Game Association don’t get to fish because they are working the contest. ■

Time spent together as a family is critical, especially if you have younger children who are still developing socially, mentally, physically and emotionally. This time to reset and reconnect with your family is so important in today’s society. So put down those cell phones, tablets, video games and prepare to pick up some stronger family bonds!

(518) 494-5249

Some ideas to help you reconnect with the important people in your life are: • Start your day with a morning ritual • Visit a family friend or relative you haven’t seen in a while • Cook a meal together • Donate time to a shelter • Go out hiking, sledding, biking, swimming • A family outing to the local bowling alley, skating rink, etc.

• Do not allow cell phones at the dinner table

Thoughts from behind the pressline

www.suncommunitynews.com

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

Opinion

Attitude is From the Editorial Board everything A call for a more civil 2018

With nearly every piece of information we receive, no matter the source, it’s clear

By Dan Alexander that there are far too many divides within • PUBLISHER • this tiny planet.

Even when friends and family gathered over the holidays, when joy and love should be overflowing, conversations sooner or later turned to the things that divide us. Politics, opinions, prejudices, and the attitudes of others are completely out of our control.

Many people seem to start their day with a big chip on their shoulder, just looking for someone to try and knock it off.

The bottom line is we all have choices. We can choose to set our attitude positively, or we can choose to go against the grain with a mindset that is combative and confrontational.

Either way, your attitude is indeed one of the very few things you can have complete control over in your day.

The impact of one’s attitude is more important than education, money and circumstances you’ll face during your day and sets the tone for success or failure. Some may say it’s even more important than physical appearance, skills or talent.

As we start the New Year, nothing we’ve done up to today can be changed — it’s in the history books.

You can’t change how other people choose to act. You can’t change the weather nor inevitable events already set in motion.

The one tangible asset you have complete control over is how you choose to react and deal with the people and events of the day.

Make no mistake about it: attitudes are contagious. Just look around, and you can see how attitudes today have changed and are far more combative than a few years ago.

People tend to be more accusatory, disrespectful, and callous, especially toward those they disagree with instead of taking a complimentary approach in the hopes of defusing the situation and turning the conversation more positively.

Would you rather have a conversation with someone who is frustrated, agitated and just plain miserable to be around or with someone who is thoughtful and approaches life in a positive light?

All the more remarkable any one of us can with a little practice make an instant change on their attitude thermometer if they are willing to try and the more of us who can adjust will find their world a little brighter. ■

We’re no strangers to strong opinions in the news business.

But we couldn’t help but notice the tenor of the public conversation in 2017 took a nosedive and bottomed out somewhere near the swamplike.

In this era of extreme polarization, even the most mundane news items appear to elicit the sharpest of responses.

This erosion of decorum is threaded across the spectrum, from public meetings to social media, which has always been a hotbed of anonymous nastiness.

It seems like rage, venom and demonization is now the default — not the exception.

We’ve all decamped to our specific corners and are walling ourselves in.

Have we collectively gotten nastier?

Or was 2017 just an outlier?

We can’t ignore the elephant in the living room: Our president probably has something to do with this cheapening of public discussion.

He’s been widely criticized for his tweets and caustic demeanor that specifically target and bully individuals.

While his aides defend his freewheeling style as punching back against critics, it’d be naive to think that his tone, which is unprecedented in U.S. politics, has not had a seismic impact on defining the threshold for what we as Americans now define as acceptable discourse.

The same goes for Congress, where both Democrats and Republicans alike have excelled at the art of “whataboutism,” or simply wagging their finger across the aisle and charging the other side with hypocrisy without actually refuting their facts.

It’s a logical fallacy that while may score immediate political points, has generally short-circuited policymaking and good governance in this country.

And we’re all the worse for it.

Lowering the standards of discourse has given people to cover to act out, and release their inner child.

We’re not naive enough to chastise folks and issue a forlorn, “Why can’t we all just get along?” plea for civility.

But it’s astounding that people will think that sour attitudes and nastiness will somehow lead to optimal results.

So much of the conflict we see on a daily basis stems from this lack of decorum, whether be in the public sector, at the office, home, on the sports field or wherever else.

Levelheadedness, patience and the ability of listen to others appears to be completely absent nowadays alongside a general baseline of general social skills.

It’s a fool’s errand to wish for a more tranquil year.

But if you find yourself frustrated, upset and beleaguered over why things aren’t going your way, then perhaps the problem isn’t other people, but rather this collective lack of civility that has taken hold in our culture.

Here’s hoping 2018 will be a calmer, more productive year.

A year of results for the North Country

By Rep. Elise Stefanik CONGRESSWOM A N FOR NEW YORK’S 21ST CONGRESSIONA L DISTRICT

Th is year we worked together on many important initiatives to help grow the North Country economy, help our veterans and military families, strengthen our local healthcare system and improve education.

As 2017 comes to a close, it’s an important time to review the results in Congress we have achieved working on your behalf.

This year, the House of Representatives has passed more than 470 bills and resolutions, 90 percent of which are bipartisan.

Since I was sworn in, I’ve made over 660 stops across the district at small businesses, farms, schools and more speaking with the hardworking families I’m proud to represent.

SUPPORTING OUR MILITARY FAMILIES

As the proud representative of Fort Drum and the Navy Nuclear Site at Kesselring, our district is home to thousands of military families that make incredible sacrifices serving our nation.

We owe all our military families our sincerest gratitude, and one of my priorities in Congress is to address their concerns.

This year I was proud to have a bill I authored pass the House of Representatives to eliminate a loophole that requires military spouses to establish residency every time the service member receives a new assignment—adding undue stress and anxiety to military families already under the pressure of managing their relocation.

I also introduced two bills that were signed into law this month.

And the Military Residency Choice Act will allow military spouses the choice to establish the same state of residency as their servicemember for voting and tax purposes.

SERVING OUR VETERANS

Our district is also the proud home of more veterans than any district in New York state.

My district offices have been hard at work on behalf of our veterans, helping to recover over $2.25 million in hard earned VA benefits for our heroes. Congress passed an expansion of GI Bill education benefits that lifts the expiration on when veterans can use these benefits, giving them more flexibility to attend higher education institutions and obtain new skills later in life.

And earlier this year, I helped Congress pass the VA Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act, which President Trump signed into law. » Stefanik Cont. on pg. 7

Free press crucial to holding government accountable

To the Editor: Is the media “the enemy of the American people,” as Trump has repeatedly claimed?

Given this administration’s flagrant disregard for the First Amendment, it’s time for a wakeup call.

Spielberg’s movie “The Post” will play in the North Country soon.

You need to go.

Flashback to June of 1971: The Vietnam War was going badly. I was just getting out of the Air Force. “The Pentagon Papers” — top secret documents chronicling the war — had just been leaked to the press and they were starting to print them.

Tricky-Dick was furious. Daniel Ellsberg, a top military analyst, had leaked them and now all the lies the American people had been told about the war were going to be exposed. The administration tried to stop the press.

That’s what the movie is about.

Was Ellsberg a traitor? Or was he a hero?

To the people-of-the-lie, he was a traitor, and would spend a lifetime in prison.

To some, he was a hero. » Stefanik Cont. from pg. 6 This important legislation makes it easier to terminate failing VA employees and provides stronger protections to whistleblowers who raise the alarm over waitlists or medical malpractice. No veteran deserves to be denied care, and this legislation brings needed accountability to the VA. Additionally, I co-introduced the Veterans Access to Community Care Act of 2017, which will require the VA to cover health care for services performed at non-VA facilities for veterans living more than 40 miles from a VA facility capable of providing the necessary care.

Either way, without this truth given to the people, about where the war was going, and why, and that it was not winnable, it would have continued to eat-up our young men, and eradicate the Vietnamese people.

After the documents finally informed the people, we got out.

So did Nixon!

But not before 58,220 dead soldiers, two million Vietnamese civilians, one million Vietcong (if we can ever really know), and spending over a trillion dollars (in 2003 dollars).

Other disturbing facts were learned: McNamara reported it as unwinnable. We used more TNT (equivalent) than the nukes dropped on Japan. And our revised reason for being there was 10 percent for the Vietnamese people, 20 percent to check communism, and 70 percent to save face.

These documents are available to the public.

Not freedom! Face!

More stats needed on illegal immigration claims

HEALTHCARE SOLUTIONS

Healthcare is another issue I hear frequently about when I speak with families and businesses across our district, especially ensuring our rural communities have the access they need.

This year I introduced a bipartisan bill, the Community Health Investment, Modernization and Excellence (CHIME) Act of 2017, to extend the Community Health Centers Fund for five years.

Federally Qualified Community Health Centers like Hudson Headwaters, North Country Family Health, and the Community Health Center of the North Country

our North Country.

This week’s, dated Dec. 30, does not disappoint.

Coverage of city and county “goings on” is always concise and informative.

The article by Mr. Thomas Batha titled “The Cost of Illegal Immigration” caught my eye as I, too, do not support illegal immigration which basically puts illegals cutting ahead in the line of lawful immigrants and bypassing our admission screening process.

Mr. Batha ends with several paragraphs that contain what he describes as cost statistics that are “readily available,” including $190 billion a year spent on illegal aliens for welfare and social services”; “illegals working “off the books” suppress wages by an estimated $200 billion a year and so on, including many more statistics that state a staggering amount of money is spent on this population.

The issue I have is that you did not identify your source of information, and I would like to know where you got these figures.

I am not saying you are wrong — or right — but in this era of “fake news” and assumptions, I feel stating where you obtained these facts and figures is very important to passing on correct information.

It’s a well-written article, but I hope it is not just speculation. That would be very unfair to the debate.

provide over 95,000 people in the North Country with critical healthcare and preventative services, and it’s important to the needs of our community that this funding be extended.

I’m pleased we have over 200 cosponsors for this bill; the overwhelming bipartisan support for CHIME was instrumental in passing legislation in the House in November to extend the Community Health Center Fund for two years.

I am continuing to work on a funding fix in the final year end spending package.

Additionally, I’ve been a strong supporter of the Children’s Health

Insurance Program (CHIP) and voted to pass a five-year reauthorization in the House in November.

I’ve also cosponsored legislation, the Rural Hospital Access Act, that would secure funding for our Medicare Dependent hospitals, a critical issue to ensure our North Country seniors receive the care they need.

Washington County lawmaker to enter Democratic primary

Greenwich Town Supervisor Sara Idleman will make challenge to Stefanik official on Jan. 6

Two Republican candidates have also filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission.

Steve Krieg, a Republican-turned-Democratic Plattsburgh optometrist, ended his candidacy in mid-December.

FUNDRAISING DEADLINE LOOMS

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | The field of candidates seeking to unseat Rep. Elise Stefanik has grown larger as another candidate has joined the race.

Greenwich Town Supervisor Sara Idleman announced her decision to run last Thursday on social media.

“I’m excited about it,” Idleman told The Sun on Friday morning.

More details will be be rolled out at the formal campaign announcement on Jan. 6 at the Greenwich Elks Lodge No. 2223, she said.

Idleman, a Democrat, has served as town supervisor for eight years, and sits on the Washington County Board of Supervisors.

According to her website, Idleman is lifelong resident of Easton and Greenwich.

The lawmaker, who taught government and American history in Cambridge and Greenwich central schools for 25 years,

Greenwich Supervisor Sara Idleman is seeking the Democratic nomination for New York’s 21st Congressional District.

Photo provided grew up on a dairy farm.

“She understands the challenges that so many small businesses, farms, rural towns and residents in our region face on a dayto-day basis and is dedicated to representing that voice in government,” her website states.

Idleman is the eighth candidate seeking the Democratic nomination for New York’s 21st Congressional District.

The others include Don Boyajian (Cambridge, Washington County), Tanya Boone (Granville, Washington County), Tedra Cobb (Hermon, St. Lawrence County), Ronald Kim (Queensbury, Warren County), Emily Martz (Saranac Lake), Patrick Nelson (Stillwater, Saratoga County) and Katie Wilson (Keene, Essex County).

Idleman’s entry to the crowded field comes two days before the Dec. 31 fourth quarter fundraising deadline.

Stefanik, a Republican, raised $279,560 in the third quarter.

Boyajian, an environmental lawyer, led the Democratic pack with $208,000 raised ahead of the Sept. 30 deadline.

The race is poised to an expensive one as candidates compete to pick off Stefanik, a moderate Republican who is seeking a third term against the backdrop of a highly unpopular president.

Mike Derrick, the Democratic nominee in 2016, raised about $1.24 million during the entire campaign cycle.

Candidates now are on track to surpass that seven months before the first nominating contest in June.

Several hopefuls have been traveling the expansive district, engaging in retail politics and making their cases to voters and small knots of progressive activists.

A candidate’s forum is scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 7 at the Moreau Community Center in South Glens Falls. ■

Anne Marie Vaccaro

(1947 - 2017) GLENS FALLS | Anne Vaccaro died suddenly on Oct. 22, 2017 in Glens Falls Hospital.

Anne vacationed annually at Blue Mountain Lake for her whole life, and began to spend several weeks a year at the lake in 2003, eventually becoming a summer and fall seasonal resident in 2009.

She was raised in Ambler, a northern suburb of Philadelphia, and earned a BFA from Beaver College (now Arcadia U), Glenside, Pennsylvania, and an MFA from Tyler School of Art (Temple U), Philadelphia.

After graduate school in theater in Minneapolis, Anne moved to Atlanta in 1973 to show her paintings at Image South Gallery, 1970 Peachtree Rd., NE. Until 1992, Anne was a self-employed artist working with acrylic paints to create large canvas and paper paintings, which hang in scores of private, corporate, and public collections.

In 1992, Anne began teaching art at Dekalb Community College (now Atlanta Perimeter). In 1995, she took a teaching position at Edison Community College, Piqua, Ohio, where she was professor of art and directed the theater program and numerous plays, mainly Shakespeare. She was beloved by her students for her gentle teaching, encouragement, and friendship.

After retiring in 2009, Anne lived in Blue Mountain Lake in the summer and fall and Sedona, Arizona in the winter and spring, and May and November visited friends and family on the eastern seaboard.

In retirement, at Blue Mountain Lake, she directed plays and explored media new to her, creating paper mache sculptural masks, ceramics, and, most recently, small acrylic landscapes accented by birch and cedar bark and twigs (on YouTube, Anne Vaccaro lake scapes).

Anne directed plays for Our Town Theater Group, North Creek, and Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts, Blue Mountain Lake. Anne was a member of St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Blue Mountain Lake.

Anne is survived by her life partner of over four decades, David Myers, and her dachshund, Logan, of five years, who consider her the nicest person they have known, and who miss her dearly.

Anne was preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Alice Vaccaro, who instilled in her a love of the Adirondacks.

She had no siblings and no biological children. Anne considered her students to be her children for a semester or a few years, with many friendships continuing beyond.

She was adored by David’s brother and sister and their families; her students; her cousins (many in the Syracuse area), nieces, and nephews, and numerous friends.

Anne had a sparkle, a beaming smile, energy, humor, intellect, arts expertise, caring, generosity, and a friendly, welcoming persona. This most remarkable woman will be missed by all.

A summer memorial service at Blue Mountain Lake will be announced in spring 2018.

Anne lived the arts and for the arts, so those wishing to honor Anne’s memory are encouraged to support a local fine or performing arts program — community-based or school — by your attendance, participation, volunteering, and/or financial contributions, particularly the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts, Blue Mountain Lake.

Family and friends are encouraged to visit her memorial Web site to view and share, thelovelyannevaccaro.com. ■

Johnsburg accepts Mill Creek Recreation Area Move might help town get grant money in the future

By Christopher South STA FF W RITER

The Johnsburg Town Board decided it would accept approximately 200 acres of land, including the Mill Creek Recreation Area and the Black Hole, from the Open Space Institute. The town was turned down for some grant money it could have used for site improvement, but according to county planning director Wayne LaMothe, the town taking the property would strengthen its position when applying for grants.

JOHNSBURG | The Johnsburg Town Board has decided it will accept an offer of about 200 acres of land from the Open Space Institute.

While the board moved last September to accept an offer for Sullivan’s Island, officials were undecided about whether it wanted to accept liability for the Mill Creek Recreation Area, including the “Black Hole” off Harrington Road in Johnsburg, a scenic spot downstream from Dunkley Falls where people go to jump off rock ledges into the water.

Officials hoped a state grant would offset costs by some $217,000. But the project failed to lock in the funds, Johnsburg Councilman Gene Arsenault announced last month.

The money was an estimate of what would be needed for site design for trail work and other site improvements, including picnic tables.

“Once the project is through the design phase, we would

The path to better health starts here.

look at implementing site improvements. Until we go through the design process, it is hard to tell what is safe and where put things,” said Warren County Director of Planning Wayne LaMothe, who assisted in the grant application.

In order to qualify for state funding, a site survey and certified appraisal of the property are required.

The land value is approximately $195,000 for the 216 acres of property spread out over six parcels.

The Black Hole accounts for about 2.5 to 3 acres, and Sullivan’s Island is roughly the same.

The Mill Creek Citizens Committee sent a letter to the town in August suggesting the town wait on a decision on the grant application before agreeing to accept the land from the OSI. At the time, the committee expressed concern over the future cost to the town for management of the property.

LaMothe said the town already has a management agreement with OSI whereby it does some maintenance of the Black Hole/ Dunkley Falls area, which attracts visitors from out of town.

The town developed a few pull off parking spaces and put in no parking signs on the Mill Creek side of Harrington Road in order to lesson the impact on the parcel and to the neighbors.

Harrington Road residents have raised concern about speeding and other activities in the area, including drinking. ■

Single digit temperatures and sub-zero wind chill kept people out

over $4,000 on New Year’s Day plunge.

Organizer Linda Duffy from Duffy’s Tavern said were just under 400 people signed up for the 2018 event, which has been drawing more than 1,000 people.

The air temperature was around 5 or 6 degrees Fahrenheit, making the unfrozen water of Lake George warmer than the air.

Duffy said she was not aware of the actual water temperature.

“Someone took a thermometer in and said it was eight degrees, but water freezes at 32,” she said.

The Lake George Volunteer Fire Department had to break ice on the lake three times in order to have an area cleared for plungers, she said.

About 150 went in on the first round, which was followed by two more groups of over 100 people. Had Lake George been clear of ice, everyone would have entered the water at the same time.

Duffy said this was the first time they charged a $10 entry fee to be part of the plunge, and they did so to raise money for notfor-profits, particularly the fire department.

“They’ve been there for a long time now,” Duffy said.

Long-sleeved T-shirts were also sold for $10.

The fire department and the Oriental Shriners from Troy each received $2,040 from the event.

WARREN COUNTY | Recovering from an eight-point halftime deficit, the Lake George varsity basketball team was victorious in the Glens Falls Grandstander Christmas Festival Dec. 28 by defeating Ogdensburg.

Balanced scoring as well as a focused fourth-quarter offense were key to the Warriors’ 58-53 win.

Caleb Scrime was top scorer for the Warriors with 16 points along with 4 assists. Chris Becker scored 15 points and grabbed 10 rebounds; Mason Flatley tallied 14 points and 5 rebounds; Alex Jones contributed 9 points and Nick Hoffis added 4 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

The top scorer was Cale Sargent of Ogdensburg with 17 points.

In a game held the night before, Lake George survived a scare and defeated Hoosick Falls by a score of 59-56.

In addition to 6’6” center Chris Becker scoring 23 points

and 10 rebounds, highlights included point guard Alex Jones hitting four foul shots in the game’s concluding minutes — overcoming a 13-point comeback attempt by Hoosick Falls — to seal the win for the Warriors.

It was smart for Jones to be handling the ball late in the game, as he is a sharpshooter from afar: he sank five of six free throws over the game.

Jonathan Kempf, Jones’ counterpart for Hoosick Falls, shot four treys in the second half, seven over the game in his 27-point scoring spree. The Warriors’ work in guarding him closely late in the battle was crucial to their victory.

Following Becker’s 23 points was Flatley with 14, Jones with 13, Scrime with 4, Hoffis with 3 and Vidnansky adding 2.

BURGHERS PREVAIL IN KHOURY CLASSIC

Warrensburg won the championship of its own annual Coach Khoury Christmas Invitational tournament Dec. 28 with an 81-36 victory over The King’s School.

In the contest, Evan MacDuff and John Kelly of the Burghers each achieved a game-point career record, 27 and 21 respectively.

Kelly’s total included three treys. Brandon Bailey followed with 13 points, Garry Ross was next with 8, Thor Larson contributed 5, Peyton Olden added 3 and Cole Lanfear and Dan Kelly each had 2.

Evan MacDuff was named tournament MVP. John Kelly was named a tournament All-Star.

In the prior night’s semifinal, Warrensburg defeated Loudonville Christian 50-27. In this game, MacDuff was high scorer with 18 points, followed by John Kelly and Bailey with 10 each, oss with 7, Lanfear with 3 and Larson with 2

COUGARS DEFEAT BERLIN

North Warren beat Berlin 67-60 in a key non-league boys basketball game Dec. 27 in the annual Argyle Holiday Tournament.

Balanced scoring, sharpshooting from behind the arc and solid play execution were pivotal elements of the victory.

The Cougars were behind 10 points in the first quarter, but roared back in the second with 27 points, more than doubling Berlin’s tally to take the lead.

Steve Monroe was top scorer for the Cougars with 19 points including three treys, followed by Brandon Olden with 11 points, and Jack Buckman and Anthony Girard each contributing 10 — including 2 from downtown for Girard — as well as Joe Phelps with 7 points. Caleb Morehouse contributed 5 points, Jayson Hopper added 3 points and Dylan Baker, 2. Buckman had 7 rebounds. ■

» Polar plunge Cont. from pg. 10 numbers will be up,” Duffy said.

With higher numbers, Duffy hopes to raise more money to raise money for the non-profits they support.

“The fire department has always been there for us. And the Shriners is an organization not a lot of people aware of, but has helped us out for a while,” Duffy said.

Duffy said the current organizers took over the New Year’s Day Polar Plunge about three years ago when the event was dropped from the Winter Carnival schedule.

The Winter Carnival still features a plunge at 3 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday in February.

Organizer Charlie Albert also used to arrange the New Year’s Day plunge as a benefit for the carnival. When the Winter Carnival no longer wanted to sponsor the New Year’s Day Polar Plunge, Duffy’s Tavern took over organizing the event.

Despite this year’s very cold temperatures and low turnout, Duffy feels this year’s plunge was a success - and a good time.

“I didn’t see anybody without a smile on their face,” she said. ■

Some people are already heading out of the water as the first round of polar plungers go into Lake George during the 2018 Lake George Polar Plunge. Almost 400 took part in the annual event, which is far fewer participants, probably due to the single digit air temperatures.

Bennett breaks rebounding record as Warriors advance “You can’t break records without being backed up by a talented team that gets you there,” she continued.

Bennett, who is being recruited by several Division I colleges, and her older sister Mackenzie led their team to the Section II Class C title in 2016.

Last season, Bennett and her team won the Adirondack League Championship.

The prior Lake George High School career rebounding record was 993, set in the late 1990s by Noel Curcio. Bennett exceeded that landmark in the second quarter.

Bennett praised her opponents in Tuesday’s game.

“North Warren always put up a battle.

They’re an incredibly well-coached, tough team with scrappy players,” she said.

She noted that her team, only seven players on deck for the game, didn’t perform well in the first half.

After the hard-fought battle which Lake George won 67-39, Bennett was informed that her 31 rebounds against North Warren had set new school single-game and career rebounding records in addition to her game-high 22 points, which included two shots from behind the arc.

“It was definitely a really cool experience to hear about the record when I found out about it afterwards,” the 6’2” junior center for the Warriors said.

But Bennett said her teammates were responsible for her rebounding achievement.

“I credit everything in my career to my team — it all goes to them really,” she said, noting they are responsible for the offensive setups and keeping opponents away from the ball.

Warriors’ favor, after the Cougars enjoyed the lead for a few minutes.

Lake George settled down in the second half, scoring 37 points to the North Warren’s 15.

“Things really turned around in the second half,” she said. “It was the fluidity of our transition game — we played really well together.”

The fourth quarter ended with a 20-point run by Lake George, interrupted by merely one foul shot by North Warren. The win advances Lake George’s season record to 4-0 in the Adirondack League and 4-1 overall.

In addition to her points and rebounds, Bennett tallied 8 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks.

Following Bennett in the scoring for the Warriors were Alysia Kane with 19 points and 4 assists, Sam Jeckel with 9 points and 7 rebounds, Rachel Jaeger with 8 points and Jade Baker with 6. Nikki Hladik chipped in 3 points and brought down 9 rebounds.

Alyssa Kramar was high scorer for North Warren with 9 points — including 2 threepointers — followed by Sydney Gagnon with

8 points and 6 steals, Brooke French with 7 points and 7 rebounds, Jackie Urtz with 6 and Olivia Viele, 5. Jodi Bartlett contributed a trey and Lauren Monroe, 7 rebounds and a foul shot. Kramar grabbed 7 rebounds as well.

Bennett returned to the team this season after being sidelined from volleyball after undergoing knee surgery last spring. While some people wondered if her knee would compromise her game, Bennett said this week she’s 100 percent recovered.

“I’m very comfortable coming into the season,” she said. “I knew it would take me some time to adjust — and I feel great right now.”

Bennett added that she’s optimistic about this season, although the league and section has tough, talented teams.

“We’re developing a new team dynamic.

Every day we practice, our chemistry is growing,” she said. “We’re looking forward to achieving the goals we’ve set this year, and we’re taking every game one at a time and playing hard. Team spirit is very high.” ■

Turning back the pages

Words of wisdom: January 1918 The year 1917 is finally at its end, one of the most fateful periods in the world’s history, it has brought to mankind a full measure of woe and suffering. Filled with the horrors of a worldwide war, with awful disasters on land and sea, it has been a veritable nightmare of calamity.

We who dwell in the peaceful quietude of this favored section in the Adirondacks, far from the scenes of bloody strife, though we daily read of the terrible suffering all around us, we can hardly conceive of the full horror of the situation. The death of one man by accident, or the intentional killing of one person in our own community, would no doubt give us a greater thrill of horror than the newspaper details of the death of hundreds in battle or disaster far away. Though we feel for others woe, it is only when trouble touches us personally that we feel the full weight of its heavy hand.

There is little profit, however, in dwelling upon the troubles that are already upon us. We can hopefully look forward to better things in 1918, even though at present there seems to be no immediate profit of improvement, but “hope springs eternal” in the human breast and our hope that a year from today will find the world in better condition.

May you all live long and prosper.

(Update: I found this melancholy piece in a copy of a 1918 issue of the Warrensburgh News. The author was not named, but I have no doubt that it was written by newspaper editor John Tubbs, a fine man who was in close touch with the world and his readers. It seems strange to me that he could only look to the future with hope in his heart, while I, on the other, a hundred years later, have the unfortunate ability to know how it all turned out and it was not good.)

THE GREAT WAR

World War I, called by those unfortunate people who lived in that black era “The Great War,” was a time of horror. It all started on June 28, 1914 when Archduke

Ferdinand was assassinated in Austria and it went from there, bad to worse. Much worse!

Sixty-five million soldiers served in the armies and a total of 10 million persons were killed and double that many were wounded.

One of the fearsome horrors of “The Great War” was the enemy’s use of poison gas, such as mustard gas, tear gas and nerve gas. Gas masks became common but did little to prevent the terrible painful death toll of an endless number of our soldiers.

TROUBLE AT HOME

In 1917 and 1918 the United States was swept with a horrific epidemic of the Spanish influenza and it hit Warrensburgh hard. Many of those unfortunate people who succumbed now lie in our local cemetery. In 1918 alone, the highly contagious disease killed over twenty million people.

One person who comes to my mind was Barbara Stewart, the young wife of Stewart Farrar, our time honored legendary historian. She was a young mother who had been married only three years when she was cut down in 1919 by the disease. Her little son, James, grew up never to know his mother.

WARRENSBURGH BOYS GO TO WAR

Joseph Anselmo was born in 1896 in Sicily and resided in Warrensburgh. He served in World War I in Italy and France.

Earl Calhoun Austin, born also in 1896, was a veteran of the war and a well known photographer here who owned the Old Homestead Studio on Hudson Street.

Dr. John M. Griffin served as first lieutenant in the Medical Corps during the war.

Howard E. Hull served overseas in World War I. He left his new bride, Marion Burt, whom he married in 1917, to go off to war. He was fortunate to return and ran a dairy and ice business here in town.

Leo Smith served in the 303rd Infantry overseas

Classifieds

during World War I. Donald Howard Hatch was a veteran of the war as he served also in the 303rd Regiment at Camp Devins where he gave instructions on horse shoeing. Horses were very important during the war.

Many boys who got on the troop train in Glens Falls to travel to Camp Devins never lived to come back home and died during the war. To name a few are Carroll Harrington, Reuben McBride, Earl McBride, Tracy Ross, James Simmons and Edson Young.

Tracy Ross, the 18 year old son of John and Cora Ross, went away to war and his descendant, Janet VanCina, says that even today the family does not know exactly what ever became of him.

THE UNFORESEEN FUTURE

After the Great War was over in 1918, did the rosy world that John Tubbs dreamed of appear on the horizon? Not really! Life indeed appeared a lot better when the war came to an end, but after a period of calm, times became bad again. The 1930s will long be remembered suffering the “Great Depression.”

Also there was the “Dust Bowl,” the area in the U.S. prairie states where dust storms and wind had, in the 1930s, removed unprotected topsoil over 25,000 square miles where grasslands had once been planted in the 1920s for wheat. This plunged the farmers living there into unbelievable poverty and caused a shortage of food throughout the country.

While these bad times were rolling, three men, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Vladimir Lenin were making an appearance on the world stage. Before their deaths, they plunged the world into miserable chaotic death and bloodshed. Long gone, today they have an ambitious North Korean named Kim Jong Un who strives to take their places in history.

I am actually less fortunate than John Tubbs because I can see how history turned out. He had the good fortune to dream the impossible dream. ■ -Readers are welcome to contact Adirondack Journal/ Sun correspondent Jean Hadden at jhadden1@nycap. rr.com or 518-623-2210.
