By Maggie Morgan maggie@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGEÑ It may seem odd enough to some just walking out on the ice during Lake GeorgeÕ s Winter Carnival, but what about racing beautifully crafted outhouses? It sounds like a joke, but on Feb. 7 at 12:30 p.m., there were 11 serious teams lined up and ready to take on the ice. The outhouse races have been a long standing tradition of the
carnival, and for the last 12 years DuffyÕ s Tavern has taken on the task of organizing the madness. Men and women of all ages dressed up in crazy get ups, perhaps the craziest being tshirts and shorts, and strategically placed themselves around their crafted outhouses; some team members stood behind the contraption while others pulled with rope in front and one brave person sat inside along for the ride. Both sides of the race track were full of supporters cheering on CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

QUEENSBURY Ñ The prospects for business and education in the region are promising -- but it takes commitment to innovation, adapting to new technology, and accommodating consumersÕ needs to prosper, according to three business leaders and one educational administrator serving on an economic outlook panel Jan. 30. A sellout gathering of business and community leaders heard the presentation, sponsored by Warren County Economic Development Corp. (WEDC) and held at the Great Escape Lodge in Queensbury. Thomas Murphy, CEO of both Arrow Financial and Glens Falls National Bank, said the economy is fundamentally strong and growing. He cited the improving employment rates, plunging energy prices, increasing wages and improving business climate as indicators of the trend. But for robust growth to occur, he said, the economy needs more encouragement

Kooky sled race Saturday in Chestertown offers new activities By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN Ñ For decades, local residents have fought off cabin fever by designing and building sleds for a beloved local event, the Krazy Downhill Derby. Annually offering loads of family fun, this kooky sled race features offbeat and humorous creations Ñ anything from simple cardboard vehicles to complex or bizarre feats of engineering Ñ to slide down the snowy slope of Dynamite Hill Ski area. The 2015 edition of this friendly competition is set for Saturday Feb. 14 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Ñ and since itÕ s ValentineÕ s Day, all are encouraged to wear red. Registration for the sled race is from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., with the competition starting promptly at noon. But the day begins at 9 a.m. with a free public breakfast sponsored by the Chestertown Rotary Club, followed by a hockey shootout at 10 a.m., and various family activities thereafter. The time-honored event includes new aspects: families are encouraged to bring their snowshoes and cross-country skis to explore the adjacent Caroline Fish recreational trails. Children will doubtlessly enjoy finding the hidden rubber ducks they can collect there in a contest. These excursions into the woods are to begin at 9 a.m., followed by a hockey shoot-out in the Dynamite Hill ice rink. The morning also features a winter nature awareness talk at 10:30 a.m. by Bill Houck, a retired forest ranger. Musical entertainment is to be provided by deejay Chas Giknis and Absolute Sound. Spectators are urged to arrive early. Certificates and prizes will be awarded for fastest, most creative, and most humorous sleds. A new category is reserved for the most creative sled sponsored by a business Ñ and a special award will be bestowed for a sled best representing a ValentineÕ s Day theme. Refreshments including hot dogs and savory chili will be served in the ski hut. Past entries in the downhill derby include a Viking ship, a rocket, a dragon and various animals, a railroad train and various cartoon characters. There is a minimal fee of $3 for each person on a sled. For details, call 494-2722 or see: www.northwarren.com.

Some teams even traveled from as far as Massachusettes to take on the beloved race, like LP Adams who has been coming for 25 years. There were outhouses boasting brightly decorated panels with tyedie and spray paint, others plain and more traditional, looking like they came right out of a campsite that day. However, no matter the decoration or the design, only one team could come out on top. Adk Scenic Company won first place with their “TNT” team, rising above the other outhouses to flush away the

competition. Linda Duffy, owner of DuffyÕ s Tavern, stood front and center with her megaphone and black fur hat, giving the racers direction and sometimes a peptalk to hurry up and get the competition going. Duffy, who also plays a huge role in the organization of the Winter Carnival and their committee, said that she thinks its the community and tradition that brings people back year after year.
“I think just seeing the different outhouses and designs and seeing the same people again year after year, the same teams, it gets people catching up again,” said Duffy. To get more information on winter carnival events, visit lakegeorgewintercarnival.com.

Warrensburg wrestling program wins top regional award By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ For decades, Warrensburg Central School wrestling coaches, wrestlers and fans have taken both winning and losing in stride, without mat-side theatrics or rowdy outcry from the stands. This tradition of composure and emphasis on honorable competition has won the Warrensburg wrestling program a top regional honor Ñ the 2015 Section II Wrestling Sportsmanship Award. The award is presented to two of the 85 teams competing in Section II, one for the 47 larger schools, and one for the 38 smaller schools of Division 2. The wrestling referees of the Capital District Wrestling Officials Association nominate the awardees, then cast votes to determine the two annual award winners. Schenectady High School won the Division I award, Warrensburg Central, the Division II award. Wrestling official Frank Miller of Queensbury, who assigns referees to matches in the region said Warrensburg coaches, athletes and fans all deserve the high honor. “Any of the officials who ever worked at a Warrensburg event comes away knowing how well everyone presents themselves,” Miller said, particularly complimenting head coach Mark Trapasso and assistant coaches Scott McKenna, Lenny Baker, Brian Winchell and others. “Mark has everything in perspective, win or lose,” he said. “The coaches’ commitment to sportsmanship starts out in youth wrestling and goes right up through high school Ñ and the kids take it to heart.” For many years, the Warrensburg wrestlers have adhered to fair play and honorable conduct, he said. “This year, although they have a very young team, their behavior has been great.” Miller ought to know Ñ heÕ s
been coaching and officiating in the region for half a century. Miller said that in addition to the high-caliber conduct of the WCS wrestlers, Warrensburg wrestling fans have been courteous and respectful of officials and opponents, while showing strong support for the program. The Warrensburg fans keep their competitive urges and emotions under control, Miller said, noting they even share pleasant conversations with parents of opponents. “If I ever decide to move, it will be to Warrensburg,” he said. Officials Association Past President Dave Essex also said that the Warrensburg athletes, coaches and fans had demonstrated exemplary sportsmanship Ñ according to the many referees who had officiated at matches. “Obviously, the coaches, parents and athletes are doing quite a good job,” he said. “Mark has always been a stand-up guy Ñ heÕ s always supported his kids and demonstrated good leadership.”
The 2014-15 Warrensburg Varsity Wrestling team — which along with their coaches and fans won the 2015 Section II Sportsmanship Award — includes: (front, left to right): Jacob Johnson, Nolan McNeill, Mackenze Blydenburgh, Dan Monthony, Greg Shambo, Austin West, Trevor Winchell, (rear): Donald Carpenter, Blake Vaisey, Rogers McLaughlin, Ryan McNeill, Chris Wilson, Gary Hill, Ben Ewald and Lane Oehler.

Coach Trapasso deferred credit this week to his assistant coaches, the wrestlers and the fans. “I’m thrilled about this award Ñ for our program, our school, our community,” he said. Over the past 10 years of the awardÕ s existence, War-
rensburg has received an honorable mention several times. WCS Athletic Director Scott Smith also complimented the athletes as well as the coaching staff. “This is a very prestigious award, and it speaks well of what Coach Trapasso and his
staff are doing,” he said. “It’s also a great reflection on our student-athletes who do a great job all year representing our school.” Warrensburg Superintendent of Schools John Goralski also complimented the coaches for their approach to the sport Ñ as well as the athletes. “We’re very proud — this is an outstanding credit to the coaches and their program,” he said. “Wrestling requires a lot of discipline, and for the athletes to get this team award is very exciting.” Warrensburg High School Principal Doug Duell added
his thoughts. “This is a tremendous honor for our kids, coaches and our community,” he said. “This is an outstanding tribute to all involved in the wrestling program.” The award will be presented to Warrensburg wrestling coaches and wrestlers Sunday Feb. 15 by representatives of the regional officials’ association at the Section II wrestling tournament at the Glens Falls Civic Center. The presentation is likely to occur shortly after 5:30 p.m. right before the final matches that determine the regional championships.

from an unlikely stimulus -- higher interest rates. He said that banks now have record capital on hand and are poised to lend it to consumers and entrepreneurs, but people don’t yet have enough confidence to borrow. “Community banks are ready and able to lend to qualified people,” he said, adding that people are reluctant to borrow because they are wary of the economyÕ s prospects. The prevailing historically low rates undermine peopleÕ s confidence in the economy’s future, discouraging them from borrowing, he said, calling for the Federal Reserve to raise rates. “Once people believe the economy is getting better, people will spend money, confidence will grow and so will businesses,” he said. Murphy continued that Glens Falls National Bank and Saratoga National Bank have achieved record net income, with loan volumes at historic highs. He also noted the that Arrow Financial was expanding south into Albany County, having opened a new branch of Saratoga National on New Karner Road in Colonie, and he predicted the bank would continue to boost its presence in the Capital Region. “Arrow Financial continues to grow and expand our markets,” Murphy said. Although an increasing number of transactions are conducted digitally, he said that bricks-and-mortar bank branches were here to stay. He said his banks were adopting a more customercentered approach due to market demands. Joseph DeVivo of Angiodynamics said that to survive in the ultra-competitive medical device industry, enterprises must continually develop new products to fight specific diseases. He noted that patients were now researching the available medical devices, therapies and drugs on the Internet to determine what was likely to provide the best outcome, and they held high expectations. He said that AngioDynamics, continuing in its track record of innovation, had developed a device that removed blood clots by vacuuming them out of patientsÕ veins and arteries. DeVivo said that since the device replaces major operations, it could routinely save hundreds of thousands of dollars per patient, helping drive down the cost of health care as well as save peopleÕ s legs and lives Ñ 100,000 or more annually in the U.S.,. Devivo also noted his company has developed a new device that can be inserted into patientsÕ cancerous organs to deliver drugs to destroy tumors without harming blood vessels and nerve bundles. He said this device was dramatically extending lives of many victims of pancreatic cancer victims, and improving survival rates. “It’s not all about shaving points off a price, it’s about technological innovation,” he said. He also said that manufacturing superior-quality products was crucial for success in the medical device industry. “Not all doctors are prime, and the same is true for drugs and

devices,” he said, noting many massive recalls of other companiesÕ products recently. He said that AngioDynamics has grown substantially, and now enjoys revenues of $360 million rather than $200 million several years ago. He predicted that revenues could reach $600 million in several years. The company now employs about 1,300 workers at seven locations around the world. Also, DeVivo criticized the new medical device tax, which takes away 2.3 percent of its revenue, or $4.3 million per year. “This tax is costing local jobs,” he said. SUNY Adirondack President Kristine Duffy said that college education was a prime “economic driver” in our society, boosting the capacity of individuals, helping them to be contributors to their communities. She predicted that in 10 years, 60 percent of jobs would require higher education. The big challenge ahead, however, is financing college educations, as tuitions are soaring while state support and federal student grants are decreasing Ñ and student debt is skyrocketing. She noted that support for SUNY colleges has dropped by $685 million in the last several years, and student debt nationally has increased to $1.2 trillion. “We’re spending less, yet expecting more,” she said, questioning whether college educations would be pushed out of the reach of moderate-income families. In this regard, she noted that college completion rates were declining, particularly with the “vulnerable” population, which she implied might be due to declining aid and increasing student debt. She also noted that SUNY Adirondack is pursuing more competency education, teaching skills that students need in the insurers. Duffy said the village will be hosting a lot of ATV enthusiasts this weekend, considering the number of calls sheÕ s fielded in recent days. “Forecasts call for cold weather, but we have so much going on, ” she said. “We’ll be seeing a lot of people bundled up for the outdoor events, then dropping into restaurants and shops, then going back our to enjoy winter a wide array of outdoor activities.”
workplace -- through Early College High School programs in advanced “process” manufacturing and in computer networking. Collaborating with businesses and other colleges to develop new courses, pursue workforce training and provide internships will be increasingly important. Also, she said that development of critical-thinking skills needs to be pursued from Kindergarten onward. “All of us working together from the time students start their education, we can create economic vitality,” she said. “Education helps society leverage every other investment it makes.” State Assemblyman Dan Stec praised Duffy and the college for their recent advances. “SUNY Adirondack has been a great partner with employers and local government,” he said citing effective management and good communication. Post-Star Publisher Terry Coombs said the newspaper industry is in a dramatic evolution, with an ongoing shift from conveying information via printed publications toward digital media: smartphones, tablets and computers. Also, people are now expecting news within minutes or hours rather than overnight or days later. Although audits have shown that the newspaperÕ s circulation has dropped dramatically since the mid-1990s, she said the newspaperÕ s website had about 4.2 million page-views in December, and the mobile sites, almost 1 million. They also have more than 22,000 followers on Facebook. “We’ve expanded our reach and we’ve now got to tell stories in new and different ways,” she said, noting that publishing in newsprint alone was “not a sustainable business model.” She predicted, however, that the Post-Star would continue to print the news long into the future. Of those reading the Post-StarÕ s news via the Internet, 36 percent see it on smartphones, 14 percent on tablets, and 50 percent on desktop computers, she said. “Newspapers’ digital audience is exploding now, and it will continue to explode,” she said. People now expect interactive news, and the ability to comment on articles and debate issues raised she said, noting that the discussion needs to be edited at times. “It’s a whole new level of engagement with readers,” she said. “Some people are good, some people are not, and some people are crazy.” Warren County Board of Supervisors Chairman Kevin Geraghty praised WEDC and its president Ed Bartholomew for their accomplishments this year, from pursuing municipal infrastructure upgrades, recruiting businesses to locate in the area or retaining existing enterprises to thrive. “Ed Bartholomew has been seen traveling all over the North Country working hard,” Geraghty said,” and the WEDC is working with all the other area organizations to achieve results.” Geraghty noted that Bartholomew had been key in recruiting the Calgary Flames hockey team -- first the AHL, and with the recent League realignment, the ECHL affiliate team. His praise prompted robust applause.

How to jumpstart local main streets?
The truth, the noise and the not so true
ectonic shifts are reshaping the North CountryÕ s economic landscape. So why do our downtowns continue to look so shabby? WeÕ re in a new era of multi-agency cooperation that is seeing insular townships inch forward with coordinated marketing and branding efforts for the first time ever. A alphabet soup of nonprofit, public and private agencies have sprouted in recent years, all seeking to find common ground when it comes to plotting a sustainable path forward for community survival. Organizations like the Nature Conservancy and the Adirondack Foundation have began to offer micro-enterprise programs designed to ignite entrepreneurship, while local officials have been champs when it comes to locking down state and federal grants. At the state level, the region has seen over $63 million sprinkled down from Gov. Andrew CuomoÕ s regional economic development councils Ñ with another potential $500 million on the way if the legislature approves a new sevenregion battle royale. Building on that, the state has pledged to make high-speed broadband universal by 2019, an initiative that would make New York the most connected state in the union, a measure critical to the economic transformation of some of the most rural communities in the Adirondack Park. And on the federal level, the promise of bipartisanship from our new Congresswoman Elise Stefanik paired with her capitol connections means the district will clearly benefit provided she delivers on her campaign promises. This is all good stuff. So, again, why do our communities continue to look so downtrodden? ItÕ s a common sight Ñ Yawning storefronts, empty lots and rotting buildings. Each community seems to have a glaring example of underutilized, neglected or abandoned space, be they Saranac Lake, Willsboro, Port Henry or Elizabethtown. WhatÕ s the solution? Obviously there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to jumpstarting each main street: Each community contains a different dynamic Ñ from PlattsburghÕ s ample lakefront access to Chesterfield’s lack of it — and we shouldn’t conflate public policy with the unique factors on the ground in each community, be they thorny infrastructure issues that have hobbled development or shortsighted elected officials.
But itÕ s worth publicly discussing. While a comprehensive approach is needed that ties together the environmental, economic, business and tourism strands of our regionÕ s DNA, here are a few ideas we think deserve a closer look. Open up. North Country communities should take a long, hard look into the EB-5 federal immigration program designed to wed foreign investors to regions in need of economic growth. In exchange for citizenship, applicants must pledge to invest at least $500,000 in these areas, which are usually defined as small, rural and poor. Like here. The marriage of wealthy foreign nationals seeking investment opportunities to economically struggling communities seems like a win-win. DonÕ t buy into the anti-immigration rhetoric Ñ our willingness to bring others into the fold is what makes America so great. Think big. Dovetailing from the immigration issue, a great tool to attract foreign investment is marketing neglected properties and parcels at the international level to generate interest. WeÕ re not saying this as a backhand slap, but many small scale brokers don’t have the firepower to market some of these problem parcels to, say, a consortium of Saudi Arabian investors. Over the past year, New York has been quietly making inroads to market the state abroad. While finding a buyer for Uncle Cletus’ longabandoned general store might not fall into the same category as Gov. CuomoÕ s plan to create a $35 million fund to grow the stateÕ s exports, it probably wouldnÕ t be a bad idea for private sellers and larger firms to bone up on what services the state has to offer and take it from there. Get involved. While North Countryfolk come from superior stock Ñ weÕ re second-to-none when it comes to being neighborly and looking out for one another Ñ unfortunately, we can be really apathetic when it comes to civic participation. While bright spots exist in each community Ñ like Tupper LakeÕ s ARISE, the Ticonderoga and North Warren Chambers of Commerce and the North Creek Business Alliance, just to name a few Ñ our attendence at school board, town and county meetings is anemic, at best, even when discussing issues that directly affect our wallets. In the face of this growing inter-agency cooperation, the closer relationship from the state and an increasingly global economy, itÕ s easy to forget that sometimes the easiest and most effective tool for change is going to a meeting and raising some hell.

Turning Back the Pages By Jean Hadden One Hundred Years Ago – February, 1915 Vaccination dilemma
To avenge the death of his son to save the life of others is declared to be the purpose of the bill which J. Arthur Loyster, of Casenovia, a member of the Republican committee, has had Assemblyman M.E. Tallett, of Madison County, introduce into the legislature. Last fall, Mr. LoysterÕ s son, Lewis Freeborn Loyster, eleven years old, died after vaccination, the cause being attributed to infantile paralysis brought on by vaccination. Mr. Loyster instituted a state wide investigation. He stated that he had obtained positive evidence that during the past year forty deaths of school children had resulted from vaccination and he is certain that this does not cover the list as new cases are being discovered. This bill strikes from the present law the provision which excludes from the public school all pupils who have not been vaccinated for small pox. Mr. Loyster believes that diseases develop ten to twelve days after the date of vaccination and that the present compulsory vaccination law, in many cases, is responsible for the deaths. (Note Ð It has been one hundred years, almost to the day and here we are, fighting the same old battle. The vaccination debate goes on and in this present day, measles is the villain. Before there was a measles vaccine, about 450 to 500 Americans died from the disease each year but now, with the vaccine, last year only 644 cases were reported in 27 states. I had a full blown attack of both measles and later chicken pox when I was in grade school and I wouldnÕ t wish either one on my worst enemy. There is just no good or definite answer to this perplexing dilemma.)
No cause for action
Carrie Fish, of Warrensburgh, was unsuccessful in her action in the Supreme Court at Lake George, Jan., 1915, to recover from James Scripter, also of this place, money claimed to be owed to her for services rendered in caring for him during a long period of illness. She claimed that she passed three hours or more in ScripterÕ s home every day administering to his every need. The defense claimed that the womanÕ s visits were merely of a social nature and she was amply repaid for them by gifts of watches, furniture and other articles. The jury shared this view of the case as they returned a verdict of no cause for action.
Mother’s worst nightmare
Eleanor Everts, the infant daughter of Guilt Everts, of Lake George, twenty months old, while playing about the house Friday evening, Jan. 29, 1915, ran against a hot flat iron and burned the right side of her face severely, from near the eye to the chin. She was brought to the office of Dr. J.M. Griffin, in Warrensburgh, where the wound was dressed. Though the burn is deep it has already begun to heal and the doctor hopes that it will leave no scar.
Landmark razed
An old house near Bloody Pond, on the Lake George Ð Glens Falls state road, occupied for years by John Parrott and family, is to be razed by the Caldwell town authorities and the family taken to the County Home, in Warrensburgh. The house has but one room, which was occupied by Parrott, his wife and five small children.
Happy wash day is here
No more “Blue Mondays” – No more back breaking drudgery
if you are lucky enough to own a washing machine. You can put your scrub board away for good. There are several newly designed models to do the work quickly without tearing the clothes and without tiring the operator who can do the job either standing or sitting while operating the washer. The tubs are all made of Louisiana red cypress and prices range upward from $10 on with easy credit terms.
New York takes count
In the state of New York there are 11,232 persons on probation. Of this number 2,761 are children under 16 years of age according to the State Probation Commission.

The stork has been busy in Warrensburgh. He left a baby girl at the home of William H. Alden, a boy at Hollis CahillÕ s and a little girl at George W. BruceÕ s home. The stork also left a baby boy at the home of Lafayette Pasco.
Weather hereabouts
Life is just one cold snap after another, but make the most of it, a few months from now you will be complaining about something else. Lake Champlain was frozen over for the first time this winter on Saturday, Jan. 30, 1915. The average date of closing for the last 100 years has been Jan. 31st. Ice harvesting has begun at Lake George. The Delaware and Hudson Company has a large force of men at work and a special ice train is conveying next seasonÕ s supply to the companyÕ s various summer resorts and stations. Lake George ice is of superior quality and is used exclusively by the D. & H. Herbert A. Howe, a Chestertown carpenter with a taste for statistics, says the combined snow fall for November and December, 1914, through January, to February 3, 1915 is 73 inches, nearly six and a half feet. A team of horses was left standing all night recently under a shed in downtown Warrensburg, exposed to the bitter cold. Their owner should be interviewed by the local humane officer and punished for his cruelty. Harry Summer, who drives the stage between Glens Falls and South Glens Falls, recently captured a live snake out exercising in the snow. The weather prophets immediately got busy and declared that this meant an early spring.

“Today I stopped caring”
I
recently read a letter from a Wisconsin police officer entitled “Today I Stopped Caring.” In the letter, the officer talks about how a once noble profession has become hated and distrusted; about how he stopped caring because parents donÕ t teach their kids right from wrong and tell them that if they misbehave, the police will take them away. The police are hated for the tickets we write, the arrests we make and again, for not being everywhere and making the arrest of the drunk to prevent hitting another car and killing someone. We are hated for taking away “harmless” drugs; for carrying guns; for not using a taser instead of a gun; for scaring kids; for shooting to stop the violence instead of wounding or shooting the gun out of the bad guyÕ s hand; for defending ourselves from attacks from thrown rocks and bottles and for being the front line between civilized society and those who prey on it. We are hated for being the “government” who takes away your freedom, your guns and your liberty; we are the police state in military gear randomly attacking innocent people without reason. We are Waco, Ruby Ridge and the bad cop who shoots innocents all rolled into one lone officer, who you may see, coincidently, on the side of the road changing a senior citizen’s flat tire or calming and caring for that abused animal. No one wants us around, but instantly demands results and arrests when criminality invades their world, usually in 60 minutes or less as seen on TV. If we solve it, we are heroes. If not, we are incompetent, just look at online social media Ð t hey will tell you all about us. The writer stopped caring because a video from somewhere in America shows a cop who forgot his oath, does something criminal himself and by extension, we are all that way. We have to work twice as hard to be fair and honest, to do our job and not to be in the news painted by that same brush. We stop caring because of todayÕ s culture of instant connectivity, of not taking responsibility for actions, of taking and not giving back, of “what’s in it for me”; of instant gratification, of idolizing gangsters, thugs, sexual promiscuity and of valuing these over hard work, honesty, dedication and achievement. The original author ended his letter with “Yes, I stopped caring today,
but tomorrow when I put that uniform back on, I will care again.” Here in the North Country, we are blessed with peace and police officers that do care. They get discouraged, and they see the dark underbelly of society, but they put on the uniform each day, take a deep breath and do it all over again. They go from a fatal accident, assault or suicide to the next call with a purpose. You will see the professionalism in tragic situations and in helping the senior citizen or the small child with a trivial issue that is the entire world to them and do it with the same dedication and caring. You will find these officers invested in the community, they are members of public interest groups like the Elks and Kiwanis; in military organizations such as the American Legion, the VFW and the AmVets. They are in your schools and youth organizations as coaches and referees. They are the people rebuilding the local ball field or driving kids to games and practices. They are just like you except for the fact that every day when the uniform goes on, they know that they may not come home that night or ever again. That something or someone may take away those things that you take for granted, safety and security, life and liberty, but they do it because that is their calling and they care about their community and everything in it; people, schools, seniors, kids and even animals. I have served the people of Essex County for almost 38 years with the Sheriff’s Office and have encountered innumerable officers from federal, state and local jurisdictions. I won’t lie and say they are all great officers: Some shouldnÕ t have chosen this career, but those are extremely rare and soon found and weeded out. Those I meet and work with are consummate professionals and I am proud of my association with each and every one. I am also proud of our culture here in the North Country where citizens recognize these officers and appreciate all they do to keep everyone safe and free. Thank you North Country for seeing us as not only police and peace officers, but as people who care and go that extra mile to “protect and serve” as our oath demands. Richard Cutting, Essex County Sheriff
To the Adirondack Journal: It takes a special person to recognize and support an organization like High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care. In 2014, the Central (Essex County) Office took care of 74 patients, 84 percent of whom were in their homes. This was their one main and true wish, to live out the final weeks and months of their lives at home and surrounded by those they love. If it were not for the support of all those who donated and sponsored us, we would not have been able to grant this wish. We would like to thank all those who donated and sponsored us in 2014, including: ADK Hardware Co., ApplebeeÕ s Restaurant, Ausable Chasm, Bluff Point Golf, Butcher Block Restaurant, Camp Dudley, Champlain Ferries, Cobble Hill Golf Course, The Depot Theatre, Egglefield Ford, Emeralds Restaurant, High Peaks Golf Course, International Paper, Laura Tyler, PepsiCo, Plattsburgh Distributing, Shear Dimensions, Skene Valley Country Club, The Breathing Body, The Wind-Chill Factory, Ticonderoga Country Club Golf, Ticonderoga Country Club Golf Pro Shop, Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union, Tops Friendly Market, UNO Pizzeria & Grill, Chazy-Westport Telephone, Westport Main Street Diner, The Galley Restaurant (Westport Marina), Cole Gaddor and Performance Arts Connection, Moriah Central School, Ausable Forks Elementary School, Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School, Keene Central School.

Brant Lake Winter Carnival gears up for its third year By Maggie Morgan
maggie@denpubs.com BRANT LAKE Ñ The Brant Lake Winter Carnival will deliver its seasonal shenanigans for the third year on Feb. 21. The event, organized by the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance, seems to gain more popularity with each passing year and the allianceÕ s secretary, Cindy Mead, has the inside scoop as to why. The addition of some new attractions have been combined with area favorites and it seems like this year the Brant Lake Winter Carnival has the cure to cabin fever. “We are having a king and queen [of winter carnival] and this year we have seven businesses participating along with the school,” said Mead. “They have all nominated a king and queen and it is a dollar a vote, they are either owners and employees or patrons and the kids nominated two highschool teachers.” This yearÕ s Carnival King and Queen nominees are: Jenna Remington and Greg Dower from the Main St. Icecream Parlor, Jeanee and Gerry Jeremiah from the Panther Mountain Pub, Terri and Paul Scheurlein from the Lazy Moose, Sheila and Stan Ellsworth from Green Mansions, Brenda and Mike Lewis from the Tin TeePee, Michelle and Earl Forbes from the Black Bear Restaurant, and Lori Korrniak and Todd Lawson from North Warren Central School. The coronation, to take place at noon, is open to anyone over the age of 21 and will pick a male and female to reign over the town,
at least for the day. “We are also having a longest icicicle contest with a child and adult division,” Mead noted. “However you manage to get the icicle out on the table is up to you, and there will be a winner.” The addition of the royalty and icicle contest to the carnival are both new and exciting, but Mead said that the most special part of the weekend long event is how it brings the community together. Though many winter celebrations commence across the north country, but the Brant Lake Winter Carnival celebrates the Adirondack way of life that our rural towns partake in every day of the year. “Ours is a lot more more interactive,” said Mead. “People can try the curling, throw frying pans, skate, go down the sledding hill. It is more community oriented and you see people doing things that you can get involved in.” The community involvement in the celebration is admirable, but the amount of dedication and work various people put into organizing the event is remarkable. The Tri Lakes Business Alliance puts their heart and soul into the carnival, but Mead said a lot of credit is due to other organizations in the area. “The town of Horicon paid for the fireworks and a lot of the advertising,” said Mead. “Jimbo’s on the Point had their whole staff get the lake ready for iceskating, a bowling alley, a curling lane... they put a lot of money and effort in themselves.” The Brant Lake/Chestertown/Horicon communities may rally together to celebrate the winter the best way they know how, but
the carnival attracts visitors from other parts of the area as well. “We have one outhouse team from the Hudson Falls area that bring 30 people with them, it’s a draw to local towns all over,” said Mead. The carnival, which received Honorable Mention at the 2013 Adirondack Park AgencyÕ s Best Winter Event, is something that Meade and the TLBA think is worth bundling up and braving the cold for. “The Brant Lake Winter Carnival is an outdoor celebration of the AdirondacksÕ Ô longest seasonÕ with a variety of fun and crazy activities for all ages, and itÕ s a great way for area residents and visitors alike ot get outside for a day on the lake,” said Mead.

Kinmen, Flight 235 and me
I
work as a teacher trainer in Taipei and travel extensively. In the past 12 months, IÕ ve traveled about 30,000 kilometers to five cities outside of Taipei: Taichung, Taidong, Yilan, Kaohsiung. And Kinmen. If the city sounds familiar, itÕ s probably because of how it made the news last week. Shortly after taking off from Taipei, TransAsia Airways Flight 235 struck an elevated roadway before falling into the Keelung River. Forty of the 58 people on the flight died, including both pilots. Three people are still unaccounted for. The flight was on-route from the Taiwanese capital to Kinmen, an outlying island located just off the coast of Mainland China. Due to its proximity, itÕ s a popular tourist and
business destination for mainlanders. Since this past August alone, I’ve been flown there 10 or 11 times. TransAsia crashed in July and killed 48 people. After that, I stopped taking that airline. The first time, I thought it was a fluke. But two times isn’t a fluke. Kinmen is about 360 kilometers from Taipei. The flight is comfortable, usually. It takes a little less than an hour. It gives me time to have a cup of coffee and land. When I do, IÕ m always picked up and greeted at the airport by the smiling face of my co-worker. Kaoliang Liquor is based on the island. So going from the airport to the school, we drive past the Kaoliang plant and its huge moment, a liquor bottle two stories high. And then I do my workshops and my teacher observation. I think my job is really important because it gives people more global viewpoints. Teaching
English is like soft diplomacy Ñ one Taiwanese and one American discussing teaching methods, itÕ s just a cultural exchange. ItÕ s important, creating relationships. And I think it has a huge impact on people. So every time I fly, when I get there, I usually feel extremely relaxed. The culture of Kinmen is special. ThereÕ s a lot of ghost stories and superstition as a result of the military history, and everyone is very calm and relaxed. ItÕ s population density is very low, the opposite of Taipei. The food is incredible Ñ the specialty is taro and oysters. Everything is made with love. Everyone knows everyone, itÕ s a tiny, tiny island. Many of the people who died in the crash were from Mainland China, which is very, very close Ñ about two kilometers from Kinmen.
Sixteen people on the island are my students. And aside from the Americans who co-teach, just in my small network, I know about 50 people on the island. Flight 235 crashed during our winter break when everyone was traveling. When it happened, everyone started putting up Facebook updates: “I’m safe, thanks for checking in.” That was really scary. I could have been on the plane. Of all of the places, Kinmen is my favorite: the teachers, the food Ñ I like everything about Kinmen. In fact, I love Kinmen, itÕ s a hidden gem. And itÕ s so sad.

LGSD has positive response to proposed building project By Maggie Morgan
maggie@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ On Feb. 3 in the high school library, community members gathered together to listen to an informational presentation regarding building renovations for Lake GeorgeÕ s elementary and high school buildings. The 2016 proposed projects have been deemed necessary by Lake George School District Superintendent, Patrick Dee, and so far the community has seemed to be on the same page as those who have proposed the updates to the infrastructure. First brought to the board level for discussion one year ago and approved in October 2014, the board is now in the process of getting voters on their side.
The interior roof of the ‘Reading Room’ in LGES shows significant need for replacement and renovation. “It’s been very positive, I think what we have seen so far is that the community understands that we arenÕ t going to be putting forth a list of items that are wants but are truly needs for the district,” said Dee. The 2016 project will replace various parts of the elementary schoolÕ s roof, create a new entry vestibule and security doors, include partition door replacement in the gymnasium, transformer pad and feeds replacement as well as replace the storm drain system. The project will address the high schoolÕ s interior doors and replace hardware, replace the domestic hot water system, and replace various areas of the roof over the gymnasium. A detailed slide show highlighted areas of concern that the school administration has with the aforementioned infrastructure and illustrates that the needs are indeed not aesthetic but
a safety issue. Dee commented on the proposal, which will be voted on Feb. 26, and has confidence that the majority of the community is supportive of the project. “The project is rooted in maintenance needs as well as student safety and we hope district voters recognize that and come out to the polls,” said Dee. The projected cost for the renovations are set at about $2.8 mil-
lion, but the school estimates that for a home valued at $200,000 within the district, the highest tax increase will be only $15 annually. “One of the most important things we can do is protect our facilities, they are a large investment that the district has,” said Dee. “We need to have roofs to keep out the weather and ensure students safety and those are the two things we are looking at.”

Glens Falls LGBTQ community mourns loss of influential activist By Maggie Morgan
maggie@denpubs.com GLENS FALLS Ñ Imagine being forced to live your entire life as a person you never chose to be, but rather someone you were told to be. Try to picture living your daily life in a disguise, never feeling like you could reveal your true identity. Our area has not had the intense awakening that other regions of the country have began to respond to, but one local woman led the way to waking us all up, and for that many people are forever grateful. Andrea Adams, 62, founder of The Bridge, Inc., passed away on Jan. 22 at her home in South Glens Falls with her partner, Dennis Belden by her side; though she has departed, her message lives on. Friend of Adams and a previous board member for the Bridge, Kate Austin-Avon, spoke highly of Andrea and offered several quotes that provide further insight to our community as well as a closer look at who Adams was. “Andrea was one of the most intelligent and driven people I knew, and she, and even more so, the people she introduced me to, changed my perception of what it was to be female and showed me how to follow my heart,” said Austin-Avon. “It’s a feeling that everyone has, I think, that thereÕ s something inside of us that we want to just be, but are afraid to.” This feeling of being afraid, or unable to follow your heart, is something that unfortunately others who identify as transgender are unable to conquer. Just two months ago, a teenager took her own life as she felt she could not be accepted for who she really was. Born Joshua

Alcorn but identifying as Leelah, the 17-year old could not bear the burden of living a life as a male and sadly gave up hope in becoming who she really was. There are countless stories like LeelahÕ s, and because of people like Andrea Adams they are given a platform to be read out loud, not hidden away and erased. “I give Andrea and every trans person such credit for following that thing inside of them that just wants to be who they really are and have the world love them back-or even accept them for it,” said Austin-Avon. “It’s tragic that something like the suicide of Leelah Alcorn has to happen to bring a nation together to have this discussion, but I’m glad we are having it.”
QUEENSBURY Ñ An EPA grant in partnership with EDC of Warren County, City of Glens Falls, NY Department of Labor, Warren County and Local 773 Plumbers and Steamfitters will be offering the second round of no cost job training program for the unemployed Thursday Feb. 12, at 3 p.m., at the Warren County One Stop Career Center in the Northway Plaza. Ed Bartholomew, President of EDC of Warren County indicated that “this environmental training program graduated the 23 trainees this past December. This collaborative 8 week job training program is being offered at no cost to currently unemployed
This discussion may be something many people are just tuning in to and joining in on, but Andrea Adams was brave enough to speak up before the topic was in the limelight. Adams first began her transition to become her female self in 1999 at the age of 46. She had already been married, had children, and then divorced before she would fully become who she had been all along. Adams founded The Bridge, Inc. in March 2006 where she would dedicate her life to the LGBTQ community and the adversities many people would face. Adams wanted to establish a safe haven, a center for education, and most of all instill a sense of awareness in the area that would carry on long after she would leave. Her overall dream was to develop a center for those who identify as LGBTQ or simply people wanting to educate themselves. During her time as director for The Bridge, Adams established LGBTQ focused AA meetings, confidential screenings for HIV/AIDS and other STIÕ s, discussion groups, and movie nights. After suffering a stroke in 2010, Adams was described as “never being the same,” but nevertheless The BridgeÕ s light has continued to burn but perhaps just not as brightly as before. The board that presently serves the nonprofit organization is in need of volunteers, donations, and overall awareness to keep AdamsÕ dream alive. “The Bridge is in need of
individuals. A total of 20-25 applicants will be selected for this second round to enroll in this program. This second round of training will focus on a variety of environmental employment areas including asbestos removal technician, hazardous waste management, facility maintenance, industrial cleaning, forklift operator, safety technician and many others. The program will be conducted at the newly opened $5.5 M Local 773 Plumbers and Steamfitters Regional Job Training Center at Tech Meadows (Luzerne and Veterans Road).
