Lake George pup to show his stuff at the Puppy Bowl XI

This Week WARRENSBURG

P2 Pizza opens doors for slices

By Maggie Morgan maggie@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ As Michelle Maskaly talked about her celebrity puppy over the phone this week, it was easy to tell she was smiling on the other end.

Bubba, now called Maddux, is one of 16 rescue dogs from Florida Little Dog Shelter who will appear on Animal PlanetÕ s Puppy Bowl Sunday, Feb. 1, at 3 p.m.

Laurie Johnson, who runs the southern shelter, drove the entire pack of pups from Florida to New York City, where the show was filmed.

This group of puppies is the largest ever to be featured from a single shelter on the Puppy Bowl; these dogs arenÕ t just getting their 15 minutes of fame but are marking their territory in history.

Maskaly first met Laurie last year when she was working for Pet Age Magazine. Florida Little Dog Shelter was featuring their first pup to enter the famous competition, Pong.

Maskaly said that she took to Pong right away, and CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

I

Eat well, eat local

t may be the dead of winter, but that doesnÕ t mean we canÕ t give thought to all that can be gained (waistline being the exception) from moving toward a more local diet.

Though the regional food movement has been growing in scope and popularity over recent years, there have still been knocks on the trend as a catchy and expensive fad.

It couldnÕ t be further from the truth.

ItÕ s easy to forget, amidst the snow and short days, but we happen to live in a hotbed of good eating, and with all the pluses associated with moving toward a local kitchen, thereÕ s no reason not to do our communities and bodies a little good and eat more from down the street.

For as big a role food plays in our lives, itÕ s surprising how easily it sometimes takes a back seat.

Not in how much we consume, but rather how much we think about what we consume. And when consideration of whatÕ s eaten goes to the wayside, itÕ s all too common for the effects to take a toll on the body.

It’s no surprise mass-produced foods find their way to most American dinner tables: TheyÕ re generally cheap, easy and good tasting. And itÕ s no accident. ThereÕ s a great deal of science and marketing behind food. Just the right amount of sugar and salt can make that dish mouth-watering, all the while our large-scale food systems are engineered to produce high volumes at low cost. But when it comes to food economics, itÕ s not just local farmers that get the short end of the stick Ñ our bodies suffer, too.

Take, for example, that steak from who-knowswhere. In order to reach maximum production, feedlot cattle are put on a diet of antibiotics, hormones, steroids and unnatural foods in a tightlypacked and manure-covered environment.

Same goes for chicken or pigs.

DonÕ t get us wrong: this isnÕ t an argument against eating meat, but ask any angler why bottomfeeders arenÕ t the best table fare. Would you eat slop your body isnÕ t meant to digest and chase it down with a cocktail of something that will mess with your bodyÕ s chemistry?

Probably not Ñ but your dinner may have. ItÕ s a tired clichŽ , but we really are what we eat.

Some counter arguments hold that the Ò extrasÓ given to animals pass through our bodies, but bear in mind, there was once a time when a doctor and patient may have shared a smoke in the office. Just like a UN official said last May, junk food is the new cigarette.

On top of that, meats raised naturally contain less fat and fewer calories, while offering higher levels of nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids or vitamin E. Another benefit? They taste better, too.

But what about the issue of cost? In the end, it

comes down to not if we pay but when.

According to the Harvard University School of Public Health, obesity-related conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure cardiovascular disease cost the US $190 billion in 2005. On a more individual level, people with those health problems average $1,429 to $2,741 more in medical costs per year.

Try making that up in cheap grocery savings.

So letÕ s break it down: Buying local food supports the regional economy. It supports sustainable food production. It supports better treatment of animals. And it supports your (or your familyÕ s) health.

So why wouldnÕ t you?

Here are three ways to do so this winter.

Value-added products. A recent wellspring of firepower has brought much-needed expertise to the region allowing local producers to unleash their inner entrepreneur through the creation and distribution of value-added products (think: pickled and tinned items), measures that not only showcase local produce, but also act as season extenders for your friendly local farmer. With the help of organizations like Adirondack Harvest, more and more of these products Ñ from bottled rhubarb spread to homemade bread — are finding themselves on the shelves of markets in your neighborhood.

Farm stands. While fields are now encased in a layer of frost, farms have not closed shop for the winter. For most, itÕ s the opposite. Behind those closed doors contains a flurry of activity, from infrastructural improvements to exploring ways to diversify and market their products. Most of these operations contain in-house farm stands showcasing their products, including seasonal produce, meat and eggs. The next time youÕ re passing through farm territory, why not make a quick stop and explore what these folks have to offer?

Consider investing in a CSA. Community-supported agriculture, or CSA, is a way to buy food directly from a local producer. Members of the public buy Ò sharesÓ in the operation, a mutually-beneficial measure that helps farmers with cash flow while providing members with a steady stream of food through weekly grocery pick-ups. TheyÕ ve become increasingly common in the North Country this past decade. While we understand memberships can be prohibitively expensive, weÕ ll pose a thought experiment. Break down your weekly food expenses Ñ including impulse purchases like gas station grub and frozen pizzas Ñ multiply by 52 and compare with the cost of an annual CSA membership.

We betcha once the numbers are crunched, itÕ s cheaper to eat localÉ and healthier. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board Dan Alexander, Keith Lobdell and John Gereau

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden Fifty Years Ago – January, 1965 Popular man and his little dog gone

When Tom Spellman, driver for Daisy Dairy, died last week, an era ended in Warrensburg. Tom has been delivering milk and cream to Warrensburg households and stores for twenty years. He loved children and dogs and they reciprocated. If any dog ever bit Tom, there is no record of it.

There is the story of the mongrel dog, Prince, a stray that in about 1958 became the property of Tony George, on Library Avenue. Prince took an immediate liking to Tom and eventually began riding the milk route with him. The attachment developed and Tony and his wife, Dot George, decided that Tom and Prince were made for each other and they made Prince a gift to Tom, but it could well be said with equal truth that Prince actually adopted Tom. For five years Prince became as much a fixture on the Daisy Dairy truck as Tom. One time Prince wandered off from the truck and became lost, much to TomÕ s despair. Prince spotted another Daisy Dairy milk truck, hopped in and thus hitched a ride back to the dairy and to his relieved master. Another time when Prince wandered off, Tom found the dog trotting south on Route 9, retracing the truckÕ s trail back to the dairy in Glens Falls.

Prince died in 1963 and there was no replacement for the little dog. For the children of Warrensburg, no one can replace Tom Spellman.

Funeral services were held for Tom Spellman at St. MaryÕ s Church, Glens Falls.

Big plans for 1965

Completion of the Emerson Memorial Town Hall, during 1965, was declared a major objective of the Warrensburg Town Board at a recent public board meeting. Other aims were securing funds for preliminary sewage, securing new lighting at street intersections, extension of the water district to the Warren County Home, completion of the street sign project and more economy in town government. Justice of the Peace Loran B. Hoffman called attention to the need for sidewalk improvement throughout the community.

Barn fire causes grievous losses

Damage estimated at more than $4,000 was caused Thursday, Jan. 21, 1965 at 6 o’clock in the morning when fire destroyed a large barn at the Cassius CombsÕ residence, Town of Thurman.

Six head of cattle and 70 chickens inside the barn perished, a tractor, tools and a large quantity of hay were also destroyed.

The cause of the blaze has not been determined. Gilbert Baker of the Thurman Volunteer Fire Company directed the fire fighting activities. A tanker from Warrensburg was sent to the scene. The loss was not covered by insurance.

Lumber truck skids down mountain

A Warrensburg man, Walter Wood, 21, of 17 Grand Street, was treated for back injuries at Glens Falls Hospital after the loaded lumber truck he was driving skidded while descending Truesdale Hill on Diamond Point Road, which overturned on the slippery pavement upon a car occupied by Jacqueline Imbro, of Lake George. The Imbro car was overturned but the woman was not hurt. The majority of the pulp wood load missed the auto.

New road to Luzerne

A crew of men, working for Warren County, has been cut-

Letter to the Editor

Real issue is ACR To the Adirondack Journal: With the (rightfully deserved) ongoing furor over DenpubsÕ Editorial BoardÕ s recent editorial gaffe, letÕ s not forget that the real issue is the ACR project itself. Monster Developments such as the ACR do not belong in the Adirondacks. Period.

Does anyone on your board really understand, or care about, the SIZE of the ACR project? The ACR project is HUGE! 6000 acres sounds like only a tiny innocuous fraction of the 6,000,000 acres of the Adirondack Park and doesnÕ t look like much on paper or while youÕ re having a beer at a bar. But what does 6,000 acres of developed land actually look like in real life?

6,000 ACRES is approximately 9 3/8 sq miles - 15.63 times the size of that already-ugly mountain Disneyland Ð Coney Island mess Lake George village at only 0.6 sq mi!

6,000 acres is a new stand-alone city 9 3/8 miles long and 1 mile wide!

6,000 acres is a city almost 2 1/2 times the size of Glens Falls and nearly the size of Troy at 11.58 sq mi!

6,000 acres is a city 7 times the size of NYCÕ s Central park and almost 28 percent the size of Manhattan!

6,000 acres is a city 6.25 times the size of Lake Placid village at only 1.5 sq mi!

But, wait. ThereÕ s more!

Make no mistake about it. As soon as the smoke clears, the ACR developers will try to squeeze as many revenue-producing further developments into those original 9 3/8 sq mi. If they could get away with it, developers would love to Ó ManhattanizeÓ the Õ dacks Ð no matter what they may say to the contrary!

After that, on to the next development; then the next, and so on because thatÕ s all they know. You ainÕ t seen nothing yet!

The argument that jobs will be created -- and especially that new tax revenues will be generated in an economically distressed area -- ARE NOT VALID REASONS TO DESTROY THE

ADIRONDACKS BY INTENSIVELY PROMOTING MASSIVE DEVELOPMENT AND POPULATION GROWTH. Clearly, some people would like to see the Adirondacks as the next big real estate investment opportunity. (WeÕ ve already worked about as much as we can out of Westchester, Dutchess, Columbia and the Capital District and donÕ t forget Nassau, Suffolk and the Hamptons, either.)

THE ADIRONDACKS ARE NOT AN INVESTMENT OPPPORTUNITY! THE ADIRONDACKS ARE A SPECIAL PLACE! ItÕ s probably safe to say that most residents of the Ô dacks choose to live there because they love the area because of what it is Ð pristine and beautiful. They are not an Ó anything goesÓ freefor- all creeping growth wasteland for opportunistic developers who care nothing for the Adirondacks and their residents despite what they may say to the contrary Ð and those are carefully considered words.

DonÕ t believe it can happen to the Adirondacks? The next time you visit California, come to Half Moon Bay and I will personally show you how creeping growth has destroyed a once beautiful coastal paradise. IÕ ll even go further and show you how the entire San Francisco Bay Area has been destroyed by Ó creeping growth.Ó Is this what Denton Publications wants for the Adirondacks?

David Safrany Half Moon Bay, Calif.

In favor of vets exemption To the Adirondack Journal: I am writing in regards to Veterans Exemptions on their homeowners taxes. First off I think the State should be helping out municipalities with this issue. Second, as a Father with a Son soon to be deployed overseas and as the Son of a Man who spent over six years in the jungles of Burma (Myanmar) during WWII, I am totally in favor of an exemption for our veterans.

The only problem I have with it is I do not see a clause anywhere in what I am reading in the papers which gives any consideration for those who served or are serving in the Clandestine services of our country. The only recognition these brave men and women receive if they are KIA is a flag at a small ceremony given to their family (that is classified by the way) and in some, not all cases a star on a wall in Langley, Virginia.

Unfortunately these men and women have to sign a non discloser agreement with the United States Government - Meaning that should they ever discuss what they did for our country they can be prosecuted and risk forfeiting of the pensions they have earned in addition to loss of rank and or title.

I think that members of the Silent Services deserve the same recognition as all veterans, Unfortunately that is not going to happen.

P2 Pizza now serving up slices in Warrensburg

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com WARRENSBURGÑ Patrick Powers opened up his new pizza joint on Main Street in November, and since then has been reaching out to his home town to get their feedback about what heÕ s feeding them. His customersÕ opinions are extremely important to his business, and Powers has gone great lengths to earn his spot in town.

On the frigid morning of Jan. 13, Powers and his family stood outside of P2 for their Grand Opening Ceremony, cutting the ribbon to celebrate the official welcoming of a new pizza place in town.

One could call PowersÕ restaurant Ò pizza for the people, by the people;Ó he understands that satisfying hungry customers and delivering their favorite pies is what will help him make his mark. Ò We have a very interactive place, itÕ s one of the things we really, really, really want, Ò said Powers. Ò Folks actually call back after they have their food and say Ô this is greatÕ or Ô hey, maybe you should do this, or offer another size.Õ Ó Not only does Powers listen, but he delivers (figuratively and literally- they offer free delivery). The owner cited a specific example where a customer commented on P2Õ s Facebook page asking for pineapple pizza, something the restaurant did not

have on the menu. After reading the post, Powers went out and bought pineapple and the next day had three orders for pineapple pizzas.

Powers is clearly dedicated to his customers, but his wife and kids have always came first and were actually a driving force behind P2. The family man has worked in the food industry and with his degree in Industrial Filtration Engineering; both career paths had brought him all over the country, and not close enough to home. Ò Calling from a hotel room got old,Ó said Powers. Ò I decided that there was a hole for a good pizza place in Warrensburg, my wife and I discussed it, and she said to go ahead. I see my family more now than ever.Ó Powers, former t-ball, baseball, and flag football coach at WarrensburgÕ s Rec, hopes the community will identify with him, recognize a familiar face, and give his pizza a try. The restaurant, open seven days a week, has officially opened their doors to the community to make all their pizza wishes. Ò It has been really, really good,Ó said Powers. Ò [The community] has been very supportive and one of the things we do is we put out there that we want feedback, positive and negative, if there is anything we can do to make it better-let us know.Ó To check out the menu or leave a comment of your own, visit facebook.com/P2PizzaCo or call 504-4128 to order a pie today!

Lt. Gov. visits Glens Falls to unveil Cuomo’s new initiatives

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com GLENS FALLS Ñ Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul received a warm welcome from area community leaders and citizens Jan. 22 as she visited Glens Falls to promote Gov. CuomoÕ s Opportunity Agenda Ñ a combination of his executive budget and initiatives drawn from his State of the State speech.

The proposals Ñ including robust property tax rebates, $1 billion to be invested in rural broadband access development, strengthened educational initiatives, a minimum wage hike and a new $1.5 billion economic stimulus competition Ñ generally prompted praise.

HochulÕ s presentation was prompted by an invitation from the Warren County Economic Development Corp.

Tax cuts a prime priority

One proposal that received applause is a drastic cut in the corporate tax for small businesses from 6.5 to 2.5 percent. This initiative, however, has prompted concerns among many that it may have limited effect Ñ because most small businesses are classified as proprietorships, and they wouldnÕ t be receiving a tax break.

The tax relief to both homeowners and renters would come in the form of a credit on income taxes. The credit, available to those earning less than $75,000 annually, calls for reimbursing a portion of what they pay in property taxes in excess of 6 percent of their income.

To be phased in over four years, the credit is expected to yield an average of $781 for 543,300 upstate homeowners and renters.

Education initiatives: ambitious, bold

The Opportunity AgendaÕ s educational initiatives include strengthening teacher evaluations, rewarding high-performing teachers with performance bonuses, expanding charter schools, expediting removal of ineffective teachers, initiating a 3-year-old Pre-K program, and paying high achieving students full tuition to SUNY colleges Ñ those who commit

to teaching in New York for at least five years.

The educational initiatives, particularly the strengthened teacher evaluations and expansion of charter schools, have prompted strong criticism from teachersÕ unions.

Boosting business, aiding those in need

Hochul noted that the GovernorÕ s program includes investing $65 million in ports and rail hubs while making a concerted effort to expand global markets through various initiatives including a new export-import program providing loans and grants for manufacturers in New York State, she said. Ò Gov. Cuomo was packing his suitcase and I advised him to take along some jugs of New York maple syrup,Ó she said, adding that the two were intent on promoting New YorkÕ s products across the U.S. and internationally.

Noting a widening gap between the wealthy and the poor, she said that social justice concerns were also a top priority of the Cuomo administration.

She said that under the Opportunity Agenda, a new allotment of $4.5 million would be appropriated for emergency food, plus $486 million towards affordable housing and community redevelopment, as well as increasing the minimum wage to $10.50. Ò There are pockets of poverty in rural areas across the state that tend to get overlooked,Ó she said in her unscripted presentation.

Another type of assistance proposed for those with modest income would be forgiveness of two yearsÕ worth of college loan payments for graduates saddled with debt and earning less than $50,000 annually.

Area community leaders react

The audience in Glens Falls particularly appreciated the new economic development and tax-cut initiatives.

Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Farber said that although the $1.5 billion economic stimulus program called for granting three $500 million awards to three of seven upstate regional economic development councils Ñ leaving four with no such bonus,

the competition would likely lead to a favorable outcome. Ò There was a huge amount of skepticism at the onset of the regional councils with their competitive proposals, but four years later, it is clear itÕ s worked Ñ and it has freed us to do far more than the Ô same old, same old.Õ Ó State Assemblyman Dan Stec predicted that the competitive stimulus awards of $500 million each might prompt some criticism. Ò IÕ m sure there will be a lot of debate over the $1.5 billion and whether thatÕ s the way to go to spur the upstate economy, but itÕ s nice the governor is focusing on upstate and pledging to make such an investment,Ó he said.

Stec also praised Cuomo for proposing tax cuts and credits. Ò ItÕ s good the governor is committing to work on tax relief,Ó he said. Ò But it might be more effective to work on mandate relief. Rather than shifting the tax burden, we should find ways to lower government expenditures.Ó Ed Barthomew, president of Warren County Economic Development Corp., said the fact that the basic annual $700 million in awards for the regional councils would continue, allowing the collaboration to continue between councils on vital projects. He also said he was pleased that Gov. Cuomo had recognized the crucial issues of upstate and the Adirondacks. Ò ItÕ s critical to our region that he have a commitment to development of infrastructure, which not only includes roads, bridges, water and sewer systems, but also investments in broadband and tourism,Ó he said.

Bartholomew noted that the Adirondacks

had similar problems as Buffalo Ñ awarded billions of dollars in state stimulus money recently. Those issues, which he said need to be addressed, include poverty and unemployment, as well as vacant and deteriorating buildings.

Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce President Peter Aust said the Opportunity Agenda had the potential to provide an array of benefits for enterprises as well as individuals upstate. Ò ItÕ s an aggressive and bold agenda that will take a lot of effort and collaboration between the state Senate, the Assembly and the executive branch of state government,Ó he said.

Krazy Downhill Derby activities slated

CHESTERTOWN Ñ The Krazy Downhill Derby takes place Saturday, Feb. 14, from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Dynamite Hill Recreation Area Rte 8 (east from I-87 Exit 25).

The events start with the registration (four people per sled) from 9 to 10 a.m.

Arts project seeks proposals

LAKE GEORGE Ñ The Lake George Arts Project invites regional, national, emerging and established artists to send exhibition proposals to the Courthouse Gallery. Preference is given to experimental or non-traditional work created in the last two years.

They welcome proposals for special exhibitions, installations, mixed media presentations, and performance art. The postmark deadline is always Saturday, Jan. 31.

Puppy Bowl From page 1

she ended up having an interesting assignment revolving around the pup who had found fame. Ò [The magazine] did this whole paparazzi thing and followed Pong around Orlando to all the cool little spots, it was fun but so silly,Ó said Maskaly. Ò It was a social media, TMZ kind of thing and it was so ridiculous. I was running down the street yelling Ô Pong, Pong where are you going? What are you doing?Õ Everyone around me probably thought I was insane.Ó Animal PlanetÕ s producers must have thought Pong was a big deal too, because they certainly didnÕ t forget about Florida Little Dog Rescue this year. The Puppy Bowl receives thousands of videos and pictures from shelters across the country, and after reviewing them select an array of puppies to feature on the preSuper Bowl show. It must have been hard to say no to the candidates from JohnsonÕ s rescue, and 16 pups will now follow in PongÕ s footsteps.

The Puppy Bowl, recorded in October, calls for several volunteers to help keep things in line. Johnson gave Maskaly a call and asked her if she would be interested, to which the selfproclaimed dog lover couldnÕ t say no. Ò I went into it with no intention of walking out with a dog,Ó said Maskaly. Ò As we were taking the dogs out of the carrier I fell in love with Bubba (who Maskaly renamed Maddux). All day I was carrying him around when he wasnÕ t filming and took him everywhere he had to go.

I took him home that day to do a trial run and my other dog immediately took to him.Ó MaskalyÕ s other dog is a seven year-old Chihuahua named Toby. Ò They love each other itÕ s really cute,Ó said Maskaly. Ò They are both little dogs and itÕ s kind of funny, beacuse my rule was no little dogs and no Chihuahuas!Ó Sometimes things happen unexpectedly, and Maskaly even broke her own rule. Things fall into place in a funny way, and that is when we know they were simply meant to be. Ò You know immediately,Ó said Maskaly. Ò There were lots and lots of dogs there that day but there was just a connection with Bubba [Maddux’s name at the time of filming] like ‘Oh my God I want that dog!Õ I called my family

Published by Denton Publications, Inc. when I was there and my dad said he knew as soon as I called him that the dog was coming home.Ó Maskaly was previously a hard-news journalist and worked at Fox News and Bloomberg. The journalist calls herself an Ò adrenaline junkieÓ and loved reporting the breaking news stories.

After she began a blog about her life with Toby, Maskaly began to learn all about the pet industry and eventually made the shift to being Editor in Chief for Pet Age Magazine. Just two weeks before meeting her new puppy, Maskaly had accepted a job as an Editoral Director at a health packaging magazine out of Chicago, for which she works remotely. In a transitional phase and with things just settling in, the young woman definitely didn’t see this coming. Ò I wouldnÕ t have Maddux if it wasnÕ t for my career choices. I was not expecting to get a dog at all at that point,Ó said Maskaly. Ò Everything was not conducive to getting a puppy but the timing was like Ô never say neverÕ .Ó Maddux, now seven months old, resides in Lake George with Maskaly and Toby, and it seems that he couldnÕ t be happier. Ò They are so smart, they know what theyÕ ve been through just like we know what weÕ ve been through,Ó said Maskaly. Ò He knows he has it good! He is here playing with my other dog, hanging out.Ó

Puppy Bowl player, Bubba, who now goes by Maddux, hangs out with his brother Toby.

HEALTHY LIVING

Abanakee Wellness Center: local mecca for holistic healing

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com

W

hen it seems like youÕ ve tried absolutely everything to cure your physical and mental afflictions, frustration often begins to take over.

Doctors have prescribed you several different medicines, youÕ ve worn out your wallet on over the counter remedies, and Web MD doesnÕ t have the answers.

Simply put, sometimes the answer isnÕ t as far out of reach as it may seem, and your problems could be solved with an all natural fix.

For thousands of years, eastern practices have been used to cure an array of emotional and physical strife that western medicine doesnÕ t touch upon. These holistic, natural approaches heal patients from the inside out, attacking the problem at its very core.

The region has several resources to tap into that are scattered across the area, but Abanakee Wellness Center in Warrensburg houses all healing needs under one roof.

Abanakee is home to four different businesses that work together in harmony to service their clients.

Dee Beckler, new owner of the wellness center, and practitioner behind Ò Natural Healing TherapiesÓ offers clients myofascial and cranioscral therapy. The healer focuses on tissue massage that uses energy flow to find problem areas.

Beckler notes that the treatment caters to a whole range of physical and emotional stresses that patients may suffer from. The therapist even treats children, some who suffer from chronic anxiety or ADHD; she said she doesnÕ t even have to ask what the patient is experiencing, she can feel the energy with her hands and attack the problem at its core.

The release of this energy, and the related toxins, can affect many other parts of the body as they are all interconnected.

Abanakee Wellness Center, located on Warrensburg’s Main Street, serves as an alternative healing hub for those seeking to try something new.

Beckler works by appointment only and can be reached at 791-3250.

Jesika Hill, BecklerÕ s daughter, practices massage therapy as well as reiki, another form of energy-flow therapy, under her business, Ò Healing Hands Massage.Ó Hill said that Ò people need another option besides doctorsÓ and that the services that Abanakee offers can be more effective for certain issues than traditional medicine. HillÕ s services accommodate the patient who is searching for a familiar, calming experience of a massage as well as the curious client who is looking to try something new and signs up for the Japanese stress reduction practice. The therapist is now offering Reiki classes that will be listed on the center’s Facebook page. Hill is also certified to

practice oncology massage for those suffering from cancer. Available by appointment only, call today at 321-3497.

Stacey Eddy-Dunkley holds the magical hands behind Ò Heaven on Earth.Ó The footspecialist is certified in massage therapy as well as cosmetology, and offers foot detoxification, pedicures, reflexology, manicures, and silkwraps among her list of services.

Dunkley noted that, Ò the whole body is in the foot” and handed over a foot reflexology chart.

The therapist commented that several physical ailments can be connected to various parts of the foot, which she can address through her massage techniques. Issues of pain and blood flow can be tackled in a series of sessions, and diabetic and elderly people are also able to ben-

efit from this unique technique.

Dunkley, who has studied several areas of the discipline, said Ò I love the energy I get off peopleÕ s feet!Ó When she relieves a client of pain or allows them to be exposed to these alternative approaches of healing, she said Ò it is empowering.Ó Heaven on Earth is open by appointment only by calling 623-1111.

Maureen Dowd, the final member of the core four, practices acupuncture, metaphysical guidance, and chinese herbal remedies at Abanakee.

Make morning workouts work for you

any men and women struggle to find time to exercise.

If hectic schedules dominated by professional and personal commitments have made it difficult to make exercise part of your daily routine, you might want to consider skipping the snooze button so you can work out in the early morning hours.

Early morning workouts have their ups and downs. Glucose levels in the body tend to be low in the morning, when many people wake up with a relatively empty stomach. Low blood glucose levels can cause feelings of nausea and weakness and possibly make you feel faint. In addition, since you likely arenÕ t moving much while youÕ re asleep, your joints and muscles are likely less mobile early

in the morning than they are in the evening, which can make morning workouts difficult and, if you don’t allow yourself more time to warm up, put your body at greater risk of injury. But morning workouts also can energize you throughout the day, and many people find it easier to consistently exercise in the early mornings than at night, when distractions or long days at the office can affect your motivation to workout.

Early morning exercise routines can be difficult to adjust to, but there are some ways to make the adjustment to such regimens go more smoothly.

•Make sleep a priority. Prioritizing sleep makes it easier to get out of bed in the morning, when you will face the daily temptation to hit the snooze button and roll over. But if you arenÕ t sleep deprived, you will find it easier to skip the snooze phase of your morning routine and get right out of bed. Skip the late night talk shows and call it a night earlier, making sure you get between seven and eight hours of sleep each night. Once you establish a new sleep schedule, you will find it easier and easier to get up and hit the gym in the morning.

•Designate more time to warm up. Early morning workout routines require athletes to warm up more than they would when exercising at other times of the day. As previously noted, your body is perhaps at its least mobile right when you get out of bed, so set aside more time to warm up when you workout in the mornings.

Five to 10 minutes of light cardiovascular exercise before you begin your workout can be enough to increase your body temperature and loosen your body up so itÕ s ready for exercise.

•DonÕ t go it alone. The buddy system is effective for many people regardless of when they exercise, but it can be especially beneficial for men and women who want to start working out in the morning. If someone is waiting for you at the gym or if your significant other is up and ready to go, you’re far less likely to skip a morning workout than you would be if you are going it alone.

•Eat at your own discretion. Some people simply cannot eat before a workout, while others find working out on an empty stomach makes them faint and weak. The problem many people who work out in the early morning encounter with regard to eating before their workouts is they simply donÕ t have the time to eat and afford their body enough time to turn that meal or snack into fuel that will benefit their workout. A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that eating a meal 45 minutes before a moderateintensity workout enhances exercise capability. But morning exercise enthusiasts typically find they do not have that spare 45 minutes to wait around while their bodies absorb a meal. Eating healthy before exercise, and giving your body adequate time to absorb that meal, can definitely fuel your workout. But if that 45 minutes ultimately compromises your ability to workout, you may want to have a glass of orange juice or a drink that contains carbohydrates soyour body has some fuel as you exercise.

Many adults find that mornings are the only times they can consistently exercise. Adjusting to such a routine can be difficult, but there are some ways to make that adjustment easier.

T

he right dietary choices can not only improve your health but the environment as well. But urbanization and increasingly busy schedules force many people to seek the most convenient, and not necessarily the healthiest, foods.

The growing reliance on processed foods may be hurting humans and the planet they call home. Processed foods tend to be loaded with starches and preservatives, increasing consumers' risk of diabetes and being obese. In addition, many prepackaged foods are shipped from faraway processing plants, and vast amounts of fuel must be consumed for products to get from those plants to local grocery stores.

But subtle shifts in dietary habits and trends can decrease mortality rates and reduce global greenhouse gas emissions resulting from food production. Adopting alternative diets that feature a higher ratio of fish, whole grains and locally grown produce can greatly reduce an individual's carbon footprint.

The "New Nordic Diet" is one example of a growing dietary trend that has the potential to improve the health of humans and

the environment. So says Henrik Saxe, an associate professor who specializes in sustainability at Copenhagen University. Researchers found a reduction in greenhouse gases of at least 6 percent with the New Nordic Diet, as compared to typical diets in Denmark.

The following are a few ways average men and women can eat to promote their own health while simultaneously protecting the environment.

•Adopt climate-friendly eating habits that rely on more domestic, in-season foods.

•Cut down on meat consumption.

•Eat organic foods as much as possible.

•Avoid seafood harvested from fish farms which can negatively impact your own health and marine life.

•Grow your own fruits and vegetables.

•Shop at local markets that support nearby farms and farmer's markets.

•Purchase products with the least amount of packaging.

Cholesterol and its relation to heart disease

igh cholesterol levels have long been directly linked to heart disease. But as more research into cholesterol and its relation to heart disease is conducted, some doctors are shifting their views on the relationship between the two.

Statistics from the American Heart Association indicate that 75 million Americans currently suffer from heart disease. And even though one-quarter of the population takes cholesterol-lowering medication and have reduced the fat content of their diets, the AHA estimates that more Americans will die of heart disease than ever before.

More revelations are coming to the forefront regarding cholesterol and heart disease.

New research has shown that statin drugs are ineffective at reducing mortality rates in most populations. Furthermore, according to the Framingham Heart Study, which is the

longest-running and most comprehensive study on heart disease to date, it was demonstrated that cholesterol intake in the diet had no correlation with heart disease. The study found that men and women with above average cholesterol levels had nearly identical rates of heart disease compared to those with below average cholesterol rates.

Another potential eye opener is that, in addition to cholesterol not affecting heart disease risk, eating high-cholesterol foods does not elevate blood-cholesterol levels as doctors once thought. Ancel Keys, who is considered the Ò fatherÓ of the theory that cholesterol contributes to heart disease, now says that thereÕ s no connection between cholesterol in food and cholesterol in the blood.

If not cholesterol levels and the foods one eats, what, then is responsible for heart disease? Many medical professionals and re-

searchers now believe the primary causes of heart disease are inflammation and oxidative stress.

According to Dr. Dwight Lundell, a heart surgeon and author of the book, Ò The Great Cholesterol Lie,Ó foods like refined sugars and vegetable oils used to preserve processed foods may lead to the inflammation that ultimately causes heart disease. Inflammation is the bodyÕ s immune response to a foreign invader. Foods high in sugar and saturated fat can exacerbate inflammation.

Bacteria and other unwanted substances in the body also contribute to inflammation.

To combat inflammation, people can adopt a healthy eating style. Fatty fish, whole grains, leafy greens, fiber, and nuts can help reduce inflammation.

Exercise also can reduce inflammation. Research from Mark Hamer, PhD, an epidemi-

ologist at University College London, found that, regardless of BMI or weight, study participants who completed 2.5 hours of moderate exercise each week - about 20 minutes a day - lowered their markers of inflammation by at least 12 percent.

When a person exercises, muscle tissue releases a protein molecule called cytokine, which likely prompts an inflammation drop.

Just about any type of workout that raises heart rate is effective in helping with inflammation.

The public may have been misinformed about just how vital it is to reduce cholesterol levels. Contrary to popular belief, high cholesterol may not have the same connection to heart disease as doctors once thought.

In fact, inflammation may be the bigger component in heart disease risk.

Cholesterol levels may not have the same relationship to heart disease as once believed.

Warrensburg’s Youth Basketball League led by WCS Varsity Experienced players pass on tips

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ On Jan. 22 in the Warrensburg Elementary School gymnasium, there werenÕ t just small sneakers scurrying around the basketball court.

The MenÕ s Varisty team made the quick trip down to the elementary school to give the third and fourth graders some tips.

Coach Bob Hummel hosts the clinic once a year and shows the young kids drills that the older boys do in practice and what they have to look forward to in their basketball careers. Ò IÕ ve been coaching for a long time and one of the things IÕ ve learned is if you are going to be good, you have to connect with the young kids early on,Ó said Hummel who has coached the Burghers for three years. Ò I coached for Queensbury for 18 years and we would do this all the time, itÕ s an opportunity for the varsity players to give back a little bit and get the younger kids excited about basketball.Ó The basketball league is sponsored by WarrensburgÕ s Youth Commission, which also encompasses t-ball and flag football.

Director of the League and Secretary for the Commission, Susan Shepler, is so proud of what the basketball league has done so far. Ò I was asked to direct the program four years ago,Ó said Shepler. “The first two years we had no uniforms but last year we had raised enough to get them,Ó she said gesturing towards the bright blue outfits.

The basketball league is separated into three groups: a girls team for fourth through sixth grade, a boys team for third and fourth grade, and a boys team for fifth and sixth grade. The league is entirely volunteer based, and several men and women have risen to the occasion and donated their time and skill to coach the young children.

The girlsÕ team is coached by Amy Langworthy with the assistance of Mike Curtis and Jonelle and Larry Bacon. The third and fourth grade boys are under the guidance of Steve Schloss and assisted by Mike Lappel and Ron Allen. The fifth and sixth grade boys report to Mike Nissen and assistant coach Sean Cunniffe.

The coaches were very active at the Thursday evening clinic, stepping onto the court and giving their players advice before the practice had even began. Ò I appreciate what Mike Nissen and the volunteer coaches are doing,Ó said Hummel. Ò They practice several times a week. I did that for many years and itÕ s quality time you can spend with your son and other kids benefit from it as well.”

Steve Schloss, member of WarrensburgÕ s class of 1983, stood next to his son, Stevie, and watched him shoot the ball with ease, showing great potential for such a young player. The special connection that exists between these coaches and their teams is

evident as they offer up advice and years of expertise to those putting in effort at such a young age.

One day, in the not so far future, these young boys will be the players that Warrensburg will be cheering for during Friday night home games at the high school. Ò Anything that takes the place of practice [the varsity boys] are very happy to do,Ó joked Hummel. Ò They enjoy being around younger kids, little kids pay attention to them and if the kids had heroes maybe they would mention some older players that they really admire.Ó Practices are held two nights a week from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., but every Thursday Coach Hummel and Mike Nissen are at the gym for players in the league to come in and ask for additional guidance or have problem areas addressed.

Games are held on Saturdays, many of which are traveling match ups, and young players will compete with area schools they will likely meet again in the future. The league, like other sports that the Youth Commission sponsors, prepares students for the future and allows them to get a good understanding of the game before entering the more competitive world of organized sports. Ò We teach respect, pride, and winning isnÕ t everything,Ó said Shepler.

For more information on the basketball league or to inquire about upcoming games, call Susan at 623-3072 or email her at quilts12@verizon.net.

Reading fact and encouragement

Did you know that one out of every three children entering Kindergarten does not have the skills necessary for good learning? One of those skills is the size of a childÕ s vocabulary. The number of wordsÑ vocabularyÑ a child has when he or she enters Kindergarten has been found to predict the success of that child in school and even into adult life. Children who start school behind frequently do not catch up. So, what can you do? Read, read, read to your for at least fifteen minutes to your children each day.

An addition has been made to the Thurman Town HallÑ bookshelves filled of donated books for young children to read and enjoy! There are a variety of books for different age groups that include baby through early elementary. The books may be kept or returned and are free to use. Donations of books are happily accepted via a drop box labeled Ô Returns & DonationsÕ , also located in the Town Hall.

Viewpoint Memories of the days long ago!

Remember cold winter days, 20 to 30 degrees below zero, wind blowing, snow falling, and frost on every window. In the late 1930Õ s and early 1940Õ s, nearly all the home in our small country setting were heated against the bitter cold with wood stoves. Small homes usually only had one stove and possibly a small kerosene space heater. Larger homes had a big wood stove in the living room and a big cook stove in the kitchen. This stove had six griddles on top, with usually a tea kettle steaming on one griddle. It also had a reservoir on the end which was filled with water and was keeping warm for many household chores.

The stove was filled with wood by taking off the 1st round griddle. This stove had a warming closet up over the burners which kept things warm while mom cooked more food. And we must all remember the oven which baked suckadelicious meals, homemade bread, pies, cakes, meats, potatoes, and muffins!

Now I might ad that my dad was a carpenter before the day of electricity and phones. So our new home was 1 1/2 story with a full stone cellar. In the cellar there was a wood furnace which took big chunks of wood and held heat a bit longer than an average stove.

My dad would get out of bed on these very cold nights and go downstairs and fill all the wood stoves to keep his family warm.

We all had upstairs bedrooms and when my brother and I woke up; and when my brother and I woke up; weÕ d rush down the stairs to the landings then rest a minute, go for running down the last few steps to the living room; then run a few steps until we could get on the metal register built level into the hardwood floor.

This register had nice warm heat blowing up from the cellar

furnace after we were warm, weÕ d head to the kitchen where mom was cooking breakfast on the wood stove. The old pancake griddle took up two of the burners and would make four large and two or three small pancakes. These were often stored in the warming section until everyone was set down and ready to eat. Toast was made in a wire too. After breakfast, we had to get ready for school, brush our teeth, wash our face and ears, and mom had to braid my long hair and comb my brothers hair.

Then we had to put on our snowpants, goloshes boots, buckle them up, then on with our heavy coat, hat and mittens and brave the cold winter mile walk to the one room school. Mom always had our lunch packed in a small tin pail and a scarf tied around our neck that we could pull up over our faces if the wind was blowing.

At the Kenyon Town School the lead teacher had arrived and started the big old wood stove which had a metal jacket around if for the children protection. The big stove stood in the back of the room with all the childrenÕ s desks sitting in rows toward the front of the room.

There was a woodshed behind the school which had been filled with split wood. A couple of times a day a couple of the bigger boys were asked to bring arm loads of wood into the woodbox. The teacher tended keeping the stove burning for heat.

And closing up, I might add that our dads and neighborhood meal were in the woods cutting more treeÕ s down with buck saws, axes, and two man saws. Horses and sleds brought the heavy loads of wood out to area homes.

Thick lake ice means family fun at Lk. Geo. Winter Carnival

By Thom Randall

One annual favorite is the tavern competition, to be held this year on Feb. 22, which involves people testing their waitstaff skills with a frigid twist. Teams are encouraged to sign up regardless of whether they indeed have any affiliation with a restaurant or bar, Nichols said.

Contact MarioÕ s Restaurant to register.

Experienced motorcycle riders may contact Frank Carpinello at 330-3648 or 542-2144 to obtain information on the two-wheeled races. For the 4x4 truck races, contact sponsoring King NeptuneÕ s Restaurant for details.

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ This yearÕ s frigid winter weather has frozen the surface of Lake George relatively early Ñ which is providing a boost for the upcoming Lake George Winter Carnival, held here for 55 years.

Lake observers report that the lake froze over about two weeks into January, and as of Jan. 28 the ice is now 12 inches deep Ñ a solid foundation for the many activities the winter carnival conducts during February weekends on the surface of the lake, carnival publicist Nancy Nichols said Tuesday. Ò The ice is phenomenal,Ó she said. Ò ItÕ s the thickest weÕ ve had this early for many years.Ó During recent years, a variety of activities had been cancelled, postponed, curtailed or held off the lake due to a lack of ice. In 2011 and 2012, the lake didnÕ t even freeze over.

Traditional featured activities which will undoubtedly benefit from the solid surface include the sanctioned motorcycle ice races, the sports car and 4x4 truck races, and the annual zany but highly-competitive outhouse racing.

The latter, to be held on Feb. 7, annually draws a substantial spirited crowd.

The Lake George Winter Carnival has added an array of new events this year, which includes the Adirondack Youth Hockey association players holding scrimmages on the ice each weekend, snow-sculpting contests, and childrenÕ s indoor mini-golf at Magic Castle, Canada St..

Returning are the lakeside bonfires with

Masquerade gala will launch Carnival

Lake George Winter Carnival activities will have a solid foundation this year due to the early freeze-up of the lake.

People are invited to sign up now for the

Glacier Golf Tournament to be held from noon to 3 p.m. Feb. 8 on a six-hole course on the ice.

Two- or four-person teams are encouraged to participate. To register, call TinaÕ s Hair Salon at 668-5059. Nichols said an array of valuable prizes will be awarded for the tourney.

The 2015 Winter Carnival kicks off with its annual gala dinner-dance, this year the 2015 Masquerade Winter Ball, to be held from 5:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday Jan. 30 at the Fort William Henry Hotel.

Volunteers on the carnivalÕ s security team are to be honored at the event, are Horst Schwemmlein, Gaylord Hawley and Jim Chamberlin, who died several months ago. Nichols said these three volunteers were particularly dedicated and helpful for many years in accomplishing the logistics of running the carnival.

Tickets for the ball Ñ masks optional are $50 in advance and $60 at the door, available now at MarioÕ s Restaurant, Prospect Mountain Diner and East Cove Restaurant.

Area’s legislators call for Sheldon Silver to step down Silver arrested on bribery and corruption charges

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY Ñ State Assemblyman Dan Stec and state Senator Betty Little said this week they believe Assembly Majority Leader Shelden Silver Ñ arrested on bribery and corruption charges Jan. 22 by federal authorities Ñ should step down from his post as Speaker of the New York State Assembly.

Republican representatives Stec and Little, both from Queensbury, made their statements last week, days before the Assembly Democrats took similar action.

Minutes after hearing Lt. Gov. Kathy HochulÕ s presentation Jan. 22 of Gov. CuomoÕ s Ò Opportunity AgendaÓ at Crandall Library in Glens Falls, Stec said the federal charges were serious, and Silver should resign and turn over his responsibilities to a new Assembly speaker.

“It’s a pretty damning five-count indict-

ment Ñ they werenÕ t nibbling around here, this is jaw-dropping stuff,Ó Stec said. Ò But I donÕ t know if anyone is really shocked Ñ thereÕ s always been a cloud of suspicion surrounding him with the previous scandals, the hush money to pay off the victims of sexual harassment Ñ but now thereÕ s been an actual arrest, and thatÕ s the game-changer. HeÕ s gotta resign, and it needs to be now.Ó Apparently, the Assembly Democrats came to the same conclusion four days later.

The New York Times reported late Monday that a conference of Assembly Democrats reached the decision that Silver should relinquish his power after an five-hour meeting behind closed doors.

Silver had proposed hours earlier to the Democratic leaders that he give up some of his responsibilities so he could spend time defending himself against the charges. They rejected the offer.

The New York Times reported Monday Jan. 26 that Silver was given one day to make a decision to step down, or heÕ d risk being ousted

from his position.

Silver, who represents the East Side of Manhattan, has served in the state Assembly since 1994, and upstate Republicans have often complained that Silver routinely blocked legislation that could have benefited their constituents.

Stec noted that the Democrats had already retained Silver despite a long trail of apparent association between Silver and corruption incidences. In a Times Union report, Stec speculated that Silver had continued to receive nearly unanimous support in recent years from Democrats because they were afraid to cross him.

Scandals have swirled around Silver in recent years. In 2003, Silver continued to employ his counsel at the time, Michael Boxley, although Boxley was accused of rape by a legislative aide.

Two years later, Boxley was convicted of sexual misconduct. In 2013, Silver authorized a secret payment of $103,080 $103,000 in public funds as a payoff to two women who had said they were sexually harassed by their boss, a Democratic Assemblyman, according to the Times. In Early 2014, a friend of SilverÕ s was jailed for stealing

more than $1 million from a nonprofit.

Monday night, area media reported that Gov. Cuomo said that Silver relinquishing his post would be Ò a good thing.Ó Four days earlier, Betty Little was among those calling for Silver to resign. Ò I donÕ t see how he can continue as leading the assembly as we go into budget negotiations Ñ He would be the chief negotiator as he always has been,Ó she said, adding that she believes in term limits to limit legislators from amassing excess power.

Asked if SilverÕ s arrest was a surprise, Little smiled. Ò I donÕ t know, I think I gave up being surprised at what goes on in Albany.Ó Stec said Silver should resign immediately. Ò Halfway into the budget process, you donÕ t want to change horses in the middle of it. ItÕ s time to put the people of the state of New York first,” he said. “My question to Assembly Democrats is, Ò When is enough, enough? I mean really Ñ What is it going to take?
