Controversial Westmount sale may go to public vote

This Week HORICON

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY Ñ The pending sale of Warren CountyÕ s Westmount nursing home to a private company Ñ which moved forward this week by a vote of the county Board of Supervisors Ñ may be decided by the public instead of county leaders, if a group of area citizens have their way.

On Feb. 20, the county board Ñ in a split vote preceded by contentious discussion Ñ approved enabling legislation that paved the way for the sale of the home to a spinoff corporation of Centers for Specialty Care Group of New York City, which has recently changed its name to Centers Health Care.

The county supervisors approved a local law that allows them to sell the home without a formal bidding process or auction, enabling them to proceed via the Ò request for proposalsÓ option the board has conducted.

This local law, however, is allowed under state law accompanied by the stipulation that citizens could force a public referendum by presenting enough signatures requesting that one be conducted.

North Warren St. Patrick’s Day parade set for March 7 Dozens of parade units will travel down Main Street in Chestertown

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN Ñ A procession that celebrates Irish heritage an event popular with northern Warren County residents Ñ is returning soon for its third annual edition.

The North Warren St. PatrickÕ s Day parade is to be held at 1 p.m. Saturday March 7 on Main St. in Chestertown. The parade lineup is to assemble at noon on Foster Flats Road. The procession goes north from there on Rte. 9 to LaFlure Lane.

Three dozen or more parade units and community groups are scheduled to participate in the procession, according to event publicist Nikki Monroe Rising.

The St. PatrickÕ s Day parade, sponsored by the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance, is one of only two in the region. The other is the parade held in Lake George during Ò Sham-Rock the BlockÓ weekend, set this year for March 14 and March 15.

Rising said the North Warren St. PatrickÕ s Day Parade strengthens community bonds. Ò The parade brings the community out and gets them together for a fun event,Ó she said.

The Galloway Gaelic Pipe & Drum Band of Glens Falls is scheduled to march in the parade, Rising said. Ò The pipe band was a huge hit last year,Ó she said.

The parade also features floats and marching units sponsored by local businesses, scout groups, civic organizations, local firefighters and EMS volunteers. More entrants are welcome to participate, Rising said. Those who seek to sign up for marching are asked to call Don Butler at 573-4386.

Serving as Grand Marshals for the 2015 parade are community activists Mary Jane and Frank Dower. Mary Jane Dower serves on the Helpers Fund which assists local families in need and sheÕ s a member of the Chester Zoning Board. Also, she was a leader of the Chestertown Downtown Enhancement Committee which launched the recent revitalization in town, and worked as correspondent for the Adirondack Journal. Frank Dower served for 36 years as a Social Studies Teacher at North Warren High School.

After the parade, families are to congregate in the parking lot of Glens Falls National Bank in downtown Chestertown where Ñ

a bounce house is to be set up and the North Warren ParentTeacher Organization will be selling hamburgers and hot dogs.

People from a wide area have annually attended the parade to enjoy the socializing as well as spectacle, Rising said, noting that all are welcome to visit local businesses while they are visiting Chestertown.

Snowmobile attempts water stunt, sinks into Lake George

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ A snowmobile sank in Lake George last weekend after its driver attempted to drive it fast on top of the water for a considerable distance, Lake George Carnival officials said Tuesday.

The stunt, driving at 40 miles per hour or faster for 200 feet or more on top of open water, has been a favorite attraction, as performed by an experienced snowmobiler, at the annual carnival for more than 35 years until the 2015 edition.

This year, the Winter CarnivalÕ s insurance provider said that in order to insure the Carnival for liability, such weekly Ò snowmobile water skipÓ events, as well as polar swims, could not be held, event coordinator Nancy Nichols said.

So during all four weekends of the carnival this year, these two popular crowd-pleasers were not held. Carnival committee officials said

that their security volunteers kept would-be polar swimmers from dashing into the lake, and no snowmobile Ò water skipÓ demonstrations were held.

Mike Chimiak, who has conducted these water skips for decades until 2015, said that a man attempted the stunt on Saturday Feb. 21, but failed to drive fast enough to complete his water-top run. The machine sank off Shepard Park Beach in about 12 feet of water, carnival officials said.

Chimiak reported that the driver swam about six feet to safety, and a group of men fished the snowmobile out of the lake with rope pulled by several four-wheel ATVs. He added that the snowmobile skip event as well as the polar swim session Ñ which weekly featured hundreds of Carnival-goers plunging into frigid waters Ñ might be reinstated for the 2016 Lake George Winter Carnival. Ò We are now trying to line up another insurance provider for the Carnival,Ó he said.

A pair of snowmobile riders skim across Lake George during 2010 during the Lake George Winter Carnival, which annually attracts hundreds of sled enthusiasts in February. The stunt, along with polar swimming, has been banned at the Carnival this year due to insurance considerations. A carnival official, however, said that both the polar plunge events and the water skips — performed by an experienced stunt rider — would likely return to the 2016 Carnival if a new insurance provider is lined up.

Adirondack Journal Editorial

Medical marijuana is here to stay

M

edical marijuana is here to stay in New York, and Plattsburgh is stepping up to the plate in a big way to grab that brass ring for the benefit of the entire North Country.

Late last year, Gov. Andrew Cuomo rolled out comprehensive proposals designed to regulate the program.

Under state purview, up to five companies will be granted two-year licenses to grow and produce medical marijuana.

Each company can have up to four dispensaries for their product.

The state hopes to spread these dispensaries out regionally, with the caveat that an area must be accepting of the idea of a medical marijuana dispensary.

NIMBY should not apply when it comes to medical pot.

The City of Plattsburgh Common Council recently voted unanimously to support Gov. CuomoÕ s medical marijuana law and market Plattsburgh as the home for a processing operation and a dispensary.

By the time the ink is dry on this editorial, the town of Plattsburgh will likely have passed similar legislation.

They are among the first in what will likely be a long line of municipalities lining up for the feeding frenzy.

Good for them.

There are two reasons why it is important to support the medical marijuana industry in the North Country.

Do no harm. ItÕ s important for patients for whom medical marijuana will be a much-needed therapeutic tool to combat a laundry list of ailments. The time to debate the pros and cons of marijuana as a medical tool is over Ñ marijuana in New York is a medicine, period. ItÕ s even cemented in the name of the legislation Ñ the Compassionate Care Act. Economic development. Whichever region ends up with a grow operation and a dispensary will face a financial windfall. By putting themselves on the map in a big way, the North Country will continue to remind Albany that there is a lot of the state above the Thruway.

A patient who qualifies for a prescription will simply not just be able to pick their script up at the local pharmacy, or have it mailed Ñ They will have to go to a dispensary. If the scene in Washington and Colorado is any indication, expect all sorts of related sub-economies to sprout up alongside these central anchors.

That could be Albany, Watertown, Syracuse... or it could be Plattsburgh and the surrounding area.

Medical marijuana should certainly be seen as a revenue stream for both Plattsburgh and the

greater North Country region.

So what would a possible operation in Plattsburgh look like?

The city is marketing the mostly dormant 100,000 square foot Imperial Mill as the most move in ready space for a grow/processing operation.

Any number of city or town properties can be turned into space for a dispensary.

Both processing and dispensing operations will bring jobs, the holy grail of any politician and a much-needed shot in the arm for our region.

The Imperial Mill is there, all but turn-key ready. Any retrofitting that would be needed to comply with state regulations would be the job of the company coming in to run the operation.

The city wouldnÕ t have to spend a dime to bring the space into compliance.

Plattsburgh has some of the lowest municipal electrical rates in the entire state, why not put that fact to good use in a marketing campaign.

And then there’s the projected tax revenue.

According to City Councilor Joshua KretserÕ s research, excise taxes for Clinton Country would total approximately $122,301 the first year, $264,069 the second year and $411,744 the third year.

Where else, in the borderline stagnant North Country economy, is the county going to glean that type of income?

They arenÕ t.

The NIMBY crowd will, of course, find their red herrings to chase, but this is under state, not local, operation.

The state has promised strong oversight: There is a 120-page manual for a company to comply with just to apply for a license; only physicians who have registered with the New York State Department of Health and received DOHapproved training can issue certificates, while entities that wish to manufacture and distribute the product would have to provide detailed plans of their infrastructure and operations.

Each plant grown and processed will be micro-chipped and tracked from bud to inhaled vapor (the state law does not allow for smoked marijuana), while independent laboratory testing would verify cannabinoid content to ensure consistency.

Pricing and advertising would be subject to DOH approval.

They probably havenÕ t thought of everything, but the state certainly isn’t flying by the seat of their pants here.

Medical marijuana is here to stay, and that Òh ereÓ s hould be in the North Country. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board, Dan Alexander, Keith Lobdell and John Gereau

Letters to the Editor

Trust the people To the Adirondack Journal: In your Feb. 21 edition of the Valley News, Peter Bauer wrote a detailed defense of ProtectÕ s lawsuit of the APAÕ s approval of the ACRÕ s development near Tupper Lake.

While I find the arguments about not trying to prevent economic opportunity and only trying to overturn a ruinous precedent for development a mysterious alignment of two opposing thoughts, I do admire Mr. Bauer Õ s courage in writing a letter that most residents of the Adirondack Park would disagree with or worse.

However, I believe Peter Bauer has again misjudged how to protect our beloved Adirondacks.

The people who love the woods, mountains, lakes and streams, wildlife, and recreation of all types in this wilderness are the best hope to protect the Adirondacks. Hunting, fishing, hiking, skiing, snowshoeing and many other activities focus the residents on the importance of keeping our Adirondacks from the overdevelopment seen in and near many of our National Parks.

Trust the people and they will trust you.

We are a nation Ò of the people, for the people, by the people;Ó you insult the people at the risk of losing their good will and support.

Trust them.

French language cuts a mistake To the Adirondack Journal: On Thursday Jan. 29, Quebec Minister of International Relations Christine St-Pierre pointed out that in 2013, the total value of trade between Quebec and New York State was nearly 6.7 billion U.S. dollars.

And on Feb. 6, NCCS Superintendent Lisa Grenville proposed the elimination of the sixth and seventh grade language classes.

In the Regents Action Plan of 1985, foreign language programs were intended to span grades 7-12. Beginning languages in grade eight was envisioned as Eighth Grade Acceleration, only for selected students.

The elimination of the sixth and seventh grade French program disrespects those one million Franco Americans who left Quebec to live in the United States.

Today, nearly 40 percent of Clinton County residents are of French Canadian origin, or are related by marriage to someone whose ancestors came from Quebec.

That would include two members of the NCCS schoolboard and its president, Mrs. Gonyo.

It is also an affront to Celine Paquette who led the 2009 Champlain Quadricentennial and continues to honor our Franco-American heritage at the Samuel de Champlain History Center and Janet McFetridge, who spent many years building the French program at NCCS. In todayÕ s global economy, now is the time to build language programs on a K12 basis, rather than cut them, especially in a district such as NCCS, located a mere two miles from the Quebec border.

The decision to have a Spanish teacher instruct French classes does a disservice to the program, the students and the Spanish teacher.

Will he or she need to take college language courses to become certified or simply be given materials and expected to learn on his or her own?

Ms. Grenville, you should not have proposed this change.

Mrs. Gonyo, Ms. Leduc and Mr. Nedeau and other board members, you should not approve it.

Parents, speak up! Do not stand by and watch this program be diminished.

Thanks to the volunteers To the Adirondack Journal: On Tuesday, February 17, a fire destroyed my home on Sawmill Way in Minerva. Deep thanks to all who answered the fire calls and spent half the day in terrible weather conditions bringing water and maintaining pressure for hours to save other buildings and trees from burning. Minerva, Riverside, Schroon Lake, North Creek, Newcomb, Chestertown, Pottersville, Johnsburg and North River Fire Departments along with Warren County Fire Car 2 all responded to the fire that gutted my home.

Minerva and Newcomb EMS units also responded and assisted where needed during this time. This involved help on the scene as well as assisting with transport to the Newcomb Health Center and special medical care afforded our cat L.C., including arranging for transport to the the Glens Falls Animal Hospital.

The three cats that perished were adopted as feral kitens and simply would not leave their third floor refuge. They and everything else we lost are irreplaceable, but the losss is easier thanks to the spirit of the Minerva and greater community.

Fignting invasives all year long To the Adirondack Journal: While it seems strange to think about water-borne invasive species in February (with a foot of ice or more on the lakes), the Lake George Association is involved in invasive species education, management and spread prevention all throughout the year. So in recognition of National Invasive Species Awareness Week (Feb. 22-28), weÕ d like to take the opportunity – while looking forward to the warmth that summer promises – to let you know that the Lake George Association has educational events now and throughout the year focused on preventing the introduction and spread of invasives.

The LGA partners with other organizations to continuously develop and refine plans to prevent and manage aquatic and terrestrial inva-

sives in the Lake George watershed. In fact, our Lake Steward Educational Program, which ran for six years, was the forerunner of the Lake George Park Commission boat inspection program that started last year. The data we collected roughly matches what the Park Commission found: About 1.6 percent of the boats inspected had visible invasive species in them, and about 12 percent were at risk of having invasive species (they were not Clean, Drained and Dry).

We believe that our education mission fits well with the inspection program – it creates an informed public that is more likely to take stronger measures to control invasives. That is why this summer, in addition to our Floating Classroom program and our regular outreach, we will hire two people for the season who will continue the LGAÕ s mission of educating the public about the dangers of invasives. Look for them at boat launches and community events this spring and summer.

Right now, before the ice goes out, we are partnering with schools around the region, as we do every winter and spring, to teach local students how to identify and prevent the spread of invasives. We have even developed a special Floating Classroom program this summer dedicated to invasive information.

As you can see, invasive species detection and protection is a yearround effort for the LGA. If you have questions about invasive species or want to schedule a class session with our Director of Education, you can reach us at 518-668-3558 or http://www.lakegeorgeassociation. org. Or come visit us. The driveway is plowed, the office is warm and thereÕ s plenty of coffee.

Heartfelt thank you 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. We apologize to anyone we may not have included here.

Together we make a difference.

Concerned To the Adirondack Journal: Dear Representative Stefanik, I am sure that I am not alone in expressing my dismay to you that Netanyahu of Israel is scheduled soon to speak before a joint session of Congress.

I consider his presence before the US Congress to be a loathsome example of the level to which our form of representative government has fallen in allowing extreme bias and external influence to pollute legitimate debate and discussion.

In terms of attempting to influence US policy toward the state of Iran in favor of Israel, it is a carbon copy of the disastrous process that led to the US invasion of Iraq with its incalculable losses of life and US prestige world wide, a process that today is expanding to catastrophic dimensions.

NetanyahuÕ s presence would serve mostly to demonstrate his contempt for the American people and our apparent inability to govern ourselves in terms of our own best interests.

We in this country are more than a giant warehouse of soldiers, material and wealth to be exploited and cheated by the state of Israel and to be rewarded by the contempt and hatred of a quarter of the worldÕ s population.

I am asking you to demonstrate that you are capable of comprehending the true nature of the USA/Israel relationship and that you will not support any legislative action that would lead to an attack on Iran.

I am asking you to be absent from the US Congress when Netanyahu speaks.

Thanks very much for your attention.

James Bullard, Westport

igh heels. My muses are at work again and thatÕ s what they gave me today. Yeah, I know; itÕ s not much to work with, but IÕ ll give it a go. I have a rather odd combination of juices flowing through my addled brain and before I sat down to write this, I had never thought much about high heels.

I try to learn something new every day and this day is no exception. I learned that Kaye hates high heelsÑ especially those very tall, skinny

by Gordie Little ones called stilettos. She scoffed when I asked if she ever wore them and insisted she hated the thought of doing so, as she would surely be injured seriously.

One of our nephews recently posted a photo on Facebook taken in Saranac Lake when Kaye was about 17. I liked the car she was standing by and liked seeing the young lady herself. That picture was snapped in the 1940s, but I wouldn’t have the privilege of meeting her for another 23 years. In the picture, she is wearing shoes with low heels, which she referred to as Ò pumps.Ó She said those two-inch heels are high enough.

Four and even five-inch heels are not uncommon these days. We see them on our favorite TV personalities all the time. It seems to me they would need strong calf and back muscles to walk comfortably. How many did you see on the red carpet last Sunday night?

My mind wanders a lot. The subject of high heels sent me back to 1964 when Tommy Tucker had a hit record. Any guesses about the title? I listened to it for the fourmillionth time today on the Internet. Ò High Heel Sneakers.Ó It is probably one of the most often-recorded hits of all time. More than 1,000 different artists have wiggled their vocal cords on it through the years.

My favorite line is, Ò Wear your wig-hat on your head.Ó I have seen pictures of highheel sneakers, but never in person. My loss.

That sent me wallowing through my gray matter in search of other songs with heels or shoes in them. There are many. My friend, the late Frank Cluette, always made it clear that people who wear leather shoes should keep them properly shined. I hear his voice in my head every time I grab for the shoeshine rag. Sometimes I even hum a few bar of Ò Chattanooga Shoeshine Boy.Ó People have been referred to as Ò wellheeledÓ or wealthy for years. How did that originate? From what I can tell, it was applied to people who had enough money to own shoes. In the early days, they were all handmade and hard to come by. Other phrases such as Ò down at the heelÓ and commanding your dog to Ò heelÓ have rather obvious beginnings. IÕ ve probably been called a heel at one time or another, but thatÕ s another story all together.

Back to high heels. Women canÕ t claim them exclusively. History reveals that men wore them long before their ladies. In the 17th century, heels for men became a sign that you were high class or high-heeled. I have seen those old European menÕ s shoes in museums and they were a riot, compared to the standards of today. I also read that early warrior horsemen in some countries wore high heels to make it easier to stand up in the stirrups. Makes sense.

I suppose women eventually started wearing heels, adopting shorter hair-dos and wearing pants while striving for gender equality. After that, men stopped wearing heels when they began to have diminished meaning in terms of status.

Studies have been done showing that many, if not most, men like to see women in high heels and are not shy about expressing their opinions about how heels accent attractive legs and make women seem more confident.

If you want to wear stilettos, wedges, flats, pumps or stocking feet, itÕ s all the same to me. With the wild winter weÕ ve had, youÕ ll want to leave the heels at home or carry them to work in a bag.

Please, pray for an early spring.

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden One Hundred Years Ago – February, 1915 Found dead in a barn

Alonzo D. McKinstry, proprietor and driver of the Warrensburgh – Horicon Main Route and Stage Line, died suddenly of heart disease, Feb. 3, 1915, in Fred W. KingÕ s barn where he stabled his horses while on his daily trips to Warrensburgh.

Mr. McKinstry arrived here as usual about eleven oÕ clock in the morning and after attending to some errands around the village he drove to the barn and unhitching his horses, placed them in their stalls. He had just completed this task when he was evidently seized with the fatal attack. His body was found lying just behind one of the horses where he fell when leaving the stall.

Mr. King made the gruesome discovery when, working in his yard, he noticed the barn door open and the stage sleigh standing in the yard, though it was past the usual time for its departure on the return trip to Horicon. Fearing that something was wrong, he entered the barn and found the body of Mr. McKinstry cold in death.

The body was removed to WoodwardÕ s undertaking rooms and in the evening it was taken to the home of the deceased in Horicon. Mr. McKinstry was 56 years old and leaves a widow, one son, Elwaine and a daughter, Elsie McKinstry, of Horicon.

Historic location

(Note – Frederick Wheeler King’s house was built by his grandfather, Pelatiah Richards, believed by historians to have been in 1832. This grand house, of southern colonial architecture modeled after Thomas JeffersonÕ s Monticello home, once stood on 125 Main Street, at the front of the parking lot of what is now, in 2015, the north end of Tops grocery store plaza, in Warrensburgh. Richards owned more than a hundred acres of land between Main Street and Hackensack Mountain. Born in 1786 in Connecticut, he was 16 years old when he came to Warrensburgh in 1802 and after an illustrious career in shaping the village, he died in 1870.

Fred King was the son of PelatiahÕ s daughter, Minerva Richards and school teacher, Hesden King. He once farmed the land in Warrensburgh, now known as Oak, Warren, King, Hackensack, Emerson, Adirondack, Mountain and Gold Streets. In 1897 the land was cut up into streets and building lots and today the area is known as Ò KingÕ s Addition.Ó Fred King married Minerva J. Woodward. He was an avid player of the flute and played piccolo in the town band. Like his civic minded grandfather, he did much to improve the town. He died Jan. 3, 1940 when he was 89 years old.

The house was purchased by Paul Gilchrist in May, 1941. He operated cabins, a motel and a guest house there. His son, Dr. Paul Gilchrist is today president of the Warrensburgh Historical Society.

Philip and June Baroudi bought the Warrensburg Fairyland movie theatre from Jerry LaRocque in 1947 and in 1968 they moved into the house, known as Gilchrist Manor, with their family and lived there until it burned in 1976 in a spectacular fire. It was indeed the end of an era.)

World War I rages

Beyond the great ocean an awful war is being waged. Women and children are suffering from hunger and cold, soldiers are fighting, bleeding, dying. How thankful we should be that under the stars and stripes, we live in peace.

This war has hurled the souls of men into eternity, among

Reading fact and encouragement

To help expand a child’s vocabulary, look for books that will enable a child to learn and scan the pages. For infant to toddler age, read books with simple and realistic photos and with preschoolers, read books on their favorite subjects. Young children tend to learn real things when they are represented by a realistic picture. This process assists a child in beginning to comprehend the Ô larger scheme of thingsÕ , so to speak. In providing pictures and realistic imagery, a child will begin to grasp that the picture or item represents a real thing and it begins to come to life for them. Ask the child to Ò point to theÓ or Ò touch theÓ to draw his or her eyes to various items on the page. For infants and toddlers, you might show the real item in accordance with the picture. Use your finger or hand to help them navigate to encourage better scanning. Do not criticize for a wrong answer but encourage possibly by saying Ò almostÓ , Ò good lookingÓ , or Ò try againÓ .

In doing so, you are encouraging a child to use his or her mind to engage in the learning and reading process.

Thurman Town Hall offers bookshelves filled with 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 ‘Returns & Donations’, also located in the Town Hall. Friends and family are highly encouraged to read to young children as in doing so results in a variety of positive outcomes in a childÕ s lifeÑ some of which include: increased vocabulary, imagination, as well as improved comprehension and grammar.

Anyone with questions may contact Marilyn at 623-9710. Also, if you would like to share any photos you have taken of your child reading, please send them to Perky via email at PersisGranger@ aol.com.

Thurman events

The annual Jackwax Party will be held at the Thurman Town Hall, March 14. Doors open at 4 p.m. Please note that unless you are volunteering, the cost for adults is ten dollars while the cost for a child is five. The cost will include a buffet dinner, refreshments, entertainment, and a dessert of syrup on snow—Jackwax.

them the sons of aged parents who believed that in their old age their sons would take care of them. The war has cheated helpless children of their fathers and has created desolate homes.

(Note – The USA did not “live in peace” for long because we entered the fray on April 2, 1917 and the whole bloody, disastrous mess was not over until November, 1918 and 115,000 Americans had perished. In his play King Lear, Shakespeare wrote, Ò Tis the timeÕ s plague when madmen lead the blind.Ó )

Justice prevails for Anna

Application for a new trial for Hans Schmidt, a condemned priest, who is awaiting execution for the murder of Anna Aumuller in September, 1913, was denied by Justice Vernon M. Davis in the criminal term of the New York Supreme Court.

Alphonse G. Koelbe, his council, contended that he should have been convicted only of manslaughter since the girl died of an illegal operation and that the cutting up and scattering of her body was an afterthought. Justice Davis simply wrote on the papers, Ò Matter denied.Ó

Getting ready for the call

After having bought coffins for himself and his wife, Captain William I. Rice, a former mayor of Bristol, Virginia, has declared that he has practically lived out his time and Ò is ready for death at almost any time.Ó

Preaching a good sermon

Rev. Bert S. Van Vleet, pastor of the Baptist Church of Minerva, North Chester and Minerva, recently attended a sermon by world famous evangelist Rev. Billy Sunday, in Philadelphia.

Rev. Van Vleet said, “It looks ridiculous in the press to see him throwing his chair around his head, pulling off his coat or jumping on his pulpit, but when you see it you will feel his point would not be quite complete, that it would fall a little short, without it. You do not count it then as a gesture, a play to the gallery, or something put on as a superfluity, but as a real part of the message. He seems to travel at an awful pace.Ó (Note – William Ashley “Billy” Sunday, born in 1862, was a former popular baseball player who gave up his profession to become AmericaÕ s most famous energetic evangelist preacher.

He is remembered to this day for his fiery hell and brimstone preaching style. He was a shining supporter of Prohibition. Billy Sunday died in 1935.)

Farmer’s aid

Philip E. Rice has purchased an ox frame and placed it in L.D. WilseyÕ s blacksmith shop on Third Street, Warrensburgh, where it will be at the service of all who desire to have oxen shed. A competent man will do the work. Heretofore it has been necessary to drive these animals to Chestertown to have the operation performed. (Note – Philip E. Rice’s former home is today’s Cornerstone Victorian bed and breakfast on upper Main Street.)

Getting ready for the thaw

Hugh P. Morrison, of North Warrensburgh, while teaming in town, recently drew ninety-two cakes of ice from Echo Lake with his team of horses, Webster H. and Black Prince. This is claimed to be the largest load ever drawn in this vicinity.

Westmount From page 1

of Queensbury, a government watchdog whoÕ s conducted research into the pending sale and Centers Health Care, has initiated steps toward forcing a referendum.

Whitehead delivered sample petition documents this week to Warren County officials, including county Attorney Martin Auffredou, for their review. The petitions request a public referendum on the local law, which enables the sale as planned. If a referendum does occur on the local law, the sale of the home to Centers Health Care would be at least temporarily blocked.

Whitehead said this week that about 2,000 signatures on petitions requesting a referendum would be sufficient to force a public vote. Ò I anticipate that we will be going forward,Ó he said Monday in an email concerning the petition drive, noting that he yet had to line up people to circulate petitions. Ò I estimate that we will start a week or so from now,Ó he said about collecting signatures on petitions.

Several county supervisors warned at the

Adirondack Journal • February 28, 2015 | 9

www.adirondackjournal.com Feb. 20 meeting that a referendum could cost local taxpayers about $40,000 for the county to conduct.

However, Whitehead said this week that conducting a referendum would cost nothing at all additional if it were a proposition on the ballot for the November 2015 General Election. He noted that state law specifies that referendums are to be conducted during general elections unless boards of supervisors intervene to hold them at a different time.

Some Warren County supervisors have sought to push through the sale of Westmount as early as possible because financial forecasts drafted in 2014 and earlier indicate the nursing home operation would lose millions of dollars per year.

As of last week, however, Westmount’s finances looked far more reasonable, as the county Treasurer and WestmountÕ s administrator reported the home would have a 2014 surplus of about $700,000 due to receiving late reimbursement checks from the federal government totaling $4.2 million.

But County Administrator Paul Dusek said at FridayÕ s meeting that his estimates show the county is likely to lose $946,000 this year on

Outbreak drill From page 1

To register online, see: https://apps.health.ny.gov/doh2/applinks/cdmspr/ The test is mandated by the state Health Department to gauge county health agenciesÕ ability to respond to an epidemic. The event involves about a half-dozen county public health employees checking people in at an emergency clinic and dispensing a mock medication, Durkee said Feb. 23.

Helping out in the mock clinic will be SUNY Adirondack nursing students, as well as county Sheriff’s officers, Queensbury town employees, and outbreak response coordinators from Glens Falls Hospital. Likely on hand to observe the drill will be officials from the federal Office of Homeland Security, the state Department of Health, and Warren County Emergency Services.

Westmount operations.

A standing-room-only crowd of people attended the meeting, at which about a dozen people testified against the pending sale, or at the least advocating a public vote on the sale.

Citizens raised questions about the quality of care that Westmount residents might receive under Centers Health Care ownership, as well as potential staff cutbacks at Westmount, or reductions of pay and benefits to the nursing homeÕ s employees, if retained.

A lengthy debate occurred at the meeting about whether Whitehead could show a video of a WNBC news report about a death occurring at Suffolk Center nursing home in Long Island that some of the citizens said was operated

by Specialty Care Group, citing the companyÕ s name emblazoned on the nursing homeÕ s awnings.

But officials of the corporation, present at the meeting, said that Specialty Care had merely acted as consultants for the nursing home.

However, Whitehead circulated documents he said were filed with Medicare and the state Department of Health indicating that Specialty Care was the responsible party for its operation.

Centers Health Care officials at the meeting

Durkee said that Warren County Public Health is intending to demonstrate that it can process 262 people per hour at the clinic, including people with special needs or medical conditions.

The drill is to help prepare the county health office employees in dispensing medications quickly and accurately in a large-scale public clinic setting, Durkee continued.

He added that another purpose of the drill is to educate the public about what would happen during a disease outbreak Ñ so citizens will know what to expect if an epidemic occurs.

The county health office will be moving 12 or more computers and associated equipment to the Queensbury Community Center to conduct the exercise.

The Center, located adjacent to the Queensbury Town municipal offices, is one of the five sites that would be activated by Warren County Public Health office as an emergency clinic during a disease outbreak, Durkee said.

The other four sites are the Town of Chester Municipal Center

in Chestertown, The Warrensburg town hall, the Lake Luzerne Town Hall, and the Warren County Human Services building on the county Municipal Center campus off Northway Exit 20.

These other sites are not going to be activated for this drill.

During an outbreak, Glens Falls Hospital would be a clinic site, presumably dispensing medications to most of Glens Falls residents, and the county’s five emergency clinics would stay open for 48 hours in an attempt to dispense medications to all the county residents possible.

Durkee said that through the drill, his agency seeks to prove it can serve up medications to hundreds of people in a short time and conduct the accompanying documentation efficiently. Ò Our objective is to demonstrate that our staff can handle a disease outbreak, and that our computer system works efficiently,Ó Durkee said. Ò We want to show that what weÕ ve put on paper can be accomplished in real life.Ó

Prospects bright for Lk. Geo. Winter Carnival’s last weekend

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — The final weekend of the 2015 Lake George Winter Carnival for 2015 promises an array of activities including a golf competition on the lake and 4x4 truck drag races on ice — as well as warmer weather, which is expected to bring out a large crowd.

Event coordinator Nancy Nichols said that the 34-degree sunny weather forecast for Sunday might prompt the largest crowd in years. Ò ItÕ s going to be amazing with all that we have going on this weekend,Ó she said.

The winter carnival’s 4x4 truck drag races offer a thrill for both spectators and contestants, Nichols said. Those seeking to sign up for the competition can call King NeptuneÕ s Pub at 668-2017.

The winter carnivalÕ s Glacier Golf Tournament features teams of two or four competing on a par 3 course, with golfers aiming for holes drilled into the ice.

The tournament features over $1,000 worth of prizes, including golfing for four on the renowned Sagamore Resort golf course.

Prizes also feature an old-fashioned skipjack Ñ a sit-down skiing device — handcrafted by local resident Victor Lefebvre. Also, restaurant meals and various To sign up a twosome or foursome, call Tina Cacckello at 683-5333.

On both Saturday and Sunday, other events will offer family fun: rides on an authentic dog sled pulled by a team of Huskies; ice diving demonstrations by Rich MorinÕ s Scuba Center; a variety of indoor childrenÕ s activities at King NeptuneÕ s pub from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; indoor mini-golf and craft activities at Magic Castle on Canada St., dog talent competitions at 2:30 p.m. on Shepard Park beach; a petting zoo; helicopter, wagon and pony rides for a fee; and viewing of professional large-scale ice carvings crafted by renowned artists.

Saturday features a chicken wing cook-off at noon; a meetup with several alpacas; roasting marshmallows over a fire and making s’mores at Shepard Park beach at 4 p.m.; plus a “wish lantern fly-off” with biodegradable lighted paper lanterns at 5:30 p.m. followed by fireworks over the lake at 6 p.m..

Scheduled for Sunday is a youth hockey scrimmage at noon and a raffle drawing at 3:30 p.m. featuring winner’s choice of a 2015 Polaris Indy 550 snowmobile with a trailer or a 2015 Kawasaki Mule 610 4x4. Tickets are $25, and a maximum of 550 will be sold.

Carnival crowds large, revenues robust

This last weekendÕ s edition of the Winter Carnival featured brisk weather on Saturday, but sunshine and warmish temperatures on Sunday, Nichols said.

Competitors in the car ice races held last weekend during Lake George Winter Carnival vie for lead position as they careen around their serpentine track on the surface of the lake. The races, sanctioned by the Adirondack Motor Enthusiast Club, were the first held on the lake for three years because of ice conditions. A robust crowd enjoyed the many activities of the Winter Carnival, which is to hold its last installment for 2015 this Saturday and Sunday, featuring 4x4 truck drag races on ice.

Ò IÕ ve never seen so many dogs, babies and people out on the lake like I did on Sunday,Ó she said. Ò Also, the car ice races were amazing Ñ we had the best conditions ever.Ó Fellow event coordinator Linda Duffy aid she enjoyed seeing thousands of people enjoying the outdoor activities on and around Lake George on weekends this February.

Merchants, restaurants and taverns were experiencing substantial revenue, she said. Ò With the frigid weather weÕ ve had, people can only stand the weather for so long, and so they go patronize the businesses where they can go inside and warm up,Ó she said.

Nichols said businesses were thriving on weekends Ñ in part because the frigid weather meant solid ice, so no major Carnival

activity had to be cancelled. She is co-owner of MarioÕ s Restaurant. Ò Never have Lake GeorgeÕ s hotels and restaurants been so full in February,Ó she said.

Lake George Chamber of Commerce Michael Consuelo echoed the point. Ò Hotel occupancy is up and very strong; and the restaurants are doing very well,Ó he said. Ò This past Sunday, we had a very good crowd in the village.Ó Nichols said she was looking forward to this weekend surpassing the previous installments of the 2015 Carnival. Ò ItÕ s been a phenomenal year for the Winter Carnival, and we expect this weekend to top it off in style.”

And as expected, I got a fair bit of flack from the same old collection of hard heads, who donÕ t believe predators and prey are indelibly linked, as key cogs in the functioning of the entire ecosystem.

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard the expression: Damn coyotes!, IÕ d be a very wealthy man right about now.

Over the years, IÕ ve been told coyotes are responsible for the demise of just about every species in the woods ranging from whitetail deer, to ruffed grouse and varying hare.

I’ve also examined enough coyote scat to realize coyotes are all purpose scavengers, that rarely turn down an easy meal.

Coyotes are extremely adaptive creatures and they will eat whatever is available at the time, including June Bugs, moths, beetles, grasshoppers, mice, squirrels, rabbits, berries, crayfish, apples and just about anything else they can scrounge up.

I guess it is difficult to carry the weight of such little facts in a closed mind. Ò All coyotes are killers,Ó IÕ ve been told by the reliable sources, and I now worry about speculation that a mysterious coyote was on Ô the grassy knollÕ on that fateful day in Dallas, so many years ago.

It is difficult to understand how a close cousin of man’s best friend could be so reviled.

Coyotes are not indigenous to New York. They first began migrating into northern New England and New York during the 1930Õ s and 1940’s, and hunters contend they’ve been depleting deer herds ever since, especially in the Adirondacks.

Coyotes will take a fawn or two, and they may also ravage an old doe as well, but black bears take far more fawns off the count.

Currently coyotes inhabit all of the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. They are occupying a biological niche previously filled by the eastern gray wolf; which was eradicated by bounty hunters during the 1800Õ s.

While coyotes prefer eastern woodlands, they have adapted to urban environments as evidenced by their current presence in NY City’s Central Park, downtown Chicago, Phoenix and other major metropolitan areas across the country.

Most eastern coyotes are believed to have a genetic combination that is more closely linked to wolves than domestic dogs; despite the fact they are referred to as coydogs throughout the North East.

Historically, coyotes have taken advantage of environmental conditions in the Northeast that have allowed them to prey on whitetails when heavy, deep snows and cold biting winds force deer to gather in winter yards.

However, in recent years, climate change has diminished the extent and duration of the Adirondack snowpack, which has radically changed the dynamics of traditional deer yards.

This change has also been impacted by the ever growing population of Ô urban whitetailsÕ which now inhabit nearly every community in the state.

These semi-wild, four-legged urbanites can be found on the front lawns of communities stretching from Saranac Lake to Lake Pleasant and all points in-between. The village dwellers prefer to feed on urban plantings, shrubs and similar food sources, as well as regular handouts. They are Ô drifters from the forestÕ and well meaning townsfolk do more harm than good by feeding them.

The safe urban confines also provide whitetails with protection from coyotes, as it is much easier for them to elude a domestic dog, than escape a pack of coyotes.

ThereÕ s no doubt coyotes will continue to prey on whitetails, however research indicates they simply do not kill enough deer to put a discernible dent in the overall population in most areas of NY state.

While coyotes undoubtedly have an impact on Adirondack deer herds, there are many other factors that affect the availability of food sources during the boom and bust cycles of prey species. The most common food items found in coyote stomachs were small rodents (42

percent), fruit (23 percent), deer (22 percent), and rabbit. Coyotes take far more fawns than mature deer.

Just as mast crops regulate the size of rodent litters, there are natural processes that affect the whitetail population.

Likewise, coyote populations are subject to fluctuations in the availability of prey such as rabbits, varying hare, mice, voles, birds as well as other food sources including fruit, nut, insects, birds, mice, voles and more.

Hunting does have a legitimate affect on game management, although the total number of whitetail deer harvested by hunters, about 220,000 on average in NY, is comparable to the tally of deer killed on the stateÕ s highways annually.

Fortunately, hunters have an opportunity to harvest and utilize their venison, while vehicle accidents sadly result in over 200 human fatalities with annual costs ranging upwards of $4 billion annually.

It’s difficult to get an accurate estimate of the coyote population in the state, as they are a very elusive and secretive species.

Many people believe they can gauge the size of the local coyote population based on the extent of their howls, barks, yips and yowls.

However, the calls can be deceiving, as just a few yapping, yowling coyotes can sound like a pack of over a dozen or more.

Coyotes first migrated into the state around the turn of the 20th century, and many hunters contend they have been depleting the stateÕ s deer herd ever since, especially in the Adirondack region. In fact, the hunting season for coyotes and other fur bearers is the most liberal in the state, and it allows hunters to utilize electronic calls, scents, battery operated decoys, laser sights, spotlights and even bait.

Coyotes, as well as bobcat, coyote, red fox, grey fox, raccoon, opossum, and skunks may be hunted at any hour, day or night, from daybreak on opening day until midnight on the closing day of the season.

If hunting without a light, the use of a light gathering (Ò starlightÓ ) scope is legal on any firearm, handgun, bow, crossbow or shotgun.

According to NYSDEC hunting regulations, fur bearers may be taken with a handgun, shotgun, rifle, bow, or crossbow. They can be chambered in any cartridge, except during the open season for deer.

Air guns can also be used to hunt fur bearers, but slingshots cannot.

The End Game

There is no doubt coyotes prey on deer, and on a wide variety of other wild food sources as well.

As the most common apex predator in the region, coyotes fill a valuable role in the ecosystem.

Perceptive hunting, a concept advanced by Aldo Leopold recognizes our expanded role in the ecosystem and the effects of our participation on the ecosystem as hunters. As apex predators, we must remain cognizant of our responsibilities as we enter into the woods.

It requires hunters to take into account of the whole system as it is affected by our hunt. As Leopold explains in A Sand County Almanac: Ò A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise.Ó In the course of our outings, we must consider the entire package from sustainability to ethics and eventually to conservation and protection.

As conservation science has improved, so has our understanding of the important role game species provide within the entire ecosystem.

Aldo Leopold, often considered the father of wildlife management was an original thinker and a avid sportsman. He recognized the important role that predators provide in the natural circle of life when he explained, “Harmony with the land is like harmony with a friend; you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left.Ó As conservation science advanced, so too have calls for understanding the role that game species, especially landscape level predators, provide to the entire ecosystem.

It is impossible to appreciate whitetail deer without recognizing the essential role coyotes play in their survival.

The deer population actually regulates the number of coyote pups born each season, and as a result of this interconnected relationship, wild lands are able to provide for the survival of each.

Once it is possible to grasp the extent of this interdependent relationship, it is easy to understand why cursing coyotes is essentially the same as damning deer in the same breathe.

It is similar to the relationship between humans and wild places, one does not exist without the other, for the benefit of all.

Lake George’s basketball teams each win league crowns

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ If there were a hat-trick in winter sports, Lake George earned it last week.

Both the boys and girls basketball teams of Lake George High School won Adirondack League championships, and the schoolÕ s WarEagles wrestling team won the Section II Class C title by an unprecedented margin.

Utilizing an aggressive 2-3 zone defense and a balanced scoring attack, the Lake George Girls Basketball team upset the storied Fort Edward squad Feb. 14 by a score of 48-31 to win the Adirondack League crown.

Fort Edward, which had won the league championship for three years, is ranked as the number 2 Class D girls basketball team in New York State.

Shadowing the Fort Edward players closely and keeping them away from the inside court severely contained the high-scoring FortsÕ shooting Ñ their previous games this year featured scores in the mid-50s. The Lake George playersÕ scrappy defense also forced 20 turnovers, which boosted the WarriorsÕ winning mar-

gin.

The league win was a big one for Lake George, considering they had lost to Fort Edward earlier in the regular season. Fans said the Warriors had gained skills and were demonstrating smoother teamwork to achieve the league championship with such a convincing win.

The Warriors distributed the ball well, as seven players scored five points or more. Graceann Bennett led the team with nine points; Mackenzie Bennett and Kayla Prosser each scored 7; Nicole Nolin and Vivian Jaworsky, 6 apiece; Cora Connolly and Lacey Cormie, 5 each.

The teamÕ s rebounding was just as balanced, with each player contributing.

With the win, Lake George’s 2014-15 record stands at 16-3.

Both teams are expected to go far in the upcoming Section II tournament.

Warrior boys team takes league trophy

Meanwhile, the Lake George Boys Basketball team captured their own Adirondack League Championship trophy with a 6757 win over a determined, talented Fort Ann squad.

Stellar athlete Joel Wincowski, who powered his 2012-13 team all the way to a state championship, scored 33 points in the Feb. 14 game, regardless of the fact he was enduring a leg cramp throughout the fourth quarter. Wincowski, named the Most Valuable Player in Class C for New York State in 2013, also tallied eight rebounds and four assists.

Wincowski, with his 2,384 career points, is now ranked second in the all-time record books for Section II scoring.He is only 19 points behind former Glens Falls star Jimmer Fredette, who became a national phenomenon.

Wincowski, 6Õ 2Ó , has committed to play basketball at University of Maryland, Baltimore County Ñ a Division 1 program Ñ beginning next fall, on a full scholarship.

In addition to WincowskiÕ s hot shooting in the Adirondack League Championship game against Fort Edward, fellow guard Kyle Jones was pivotal in the Warrior offense Ñ he sank no less than 5 three-point shots in the game. He tallied 21 for the game.

Fort Ann was persistent, getting balanced scoring and tough defense from their players. The FortsÕ offensive effort was led by Jeremy Jackson with 17 points.
