By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com ATHOL Ñ As dozens of people streamed into the Thurman Town Hall to attend the Jack Wax Party 15 minutes before it was to begin, 20 or so more folks were beginning to move through the buffet line, facing a long counter filled with steaming, aromatic entrees. Kathy Templeton, who organizes the annual event with her husband Andy, said the early startup of the March 14 fundraiser was to better accommodate the crowd.
One of the 20-or-so volunteer servers scooped up mashed potatoes and put them beside a slab of turkey on a plate carried by Rex Reynolds II, 85, of Thurman. Ò ItÕ s looking good right now,Ó Reynolds said with a grin about the beloved traditional spring get-together. For 40 years or so, his late wife Jean had organized the event. Ò This brings back good memories,Ó he continued. Ò In the 1960s, I got the snow for this Ô sugar partyÕ in as many as 13 big cans — one year I had to go as far as Tupper Lake to find the snow we needed.Ó CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

POTSDAM Ñ With reigning state Class C MVP Joel Wincolski leading the charge, the Lake George Boys Basketball Team fought a dramatic come-from-behind battle against Potsdam March 14 to win the regional title game 7058 and earn a Final Four berth in the upcoming state tournament. Down 38-29 midway in the third quarter, the Lake George Warriors tightened up their defense, re-strategized their offense and reduced the scoring gap to 43-44 Ñ Pottsdam ahead by one Ñ at the end of the third quarter. Then Wincoski, fired up by a will to win, embarked on a scoring tirade with the help of his talented teammates, racking up seven of nine shots with hands in his face and nine of 10 foul shots Ñ 23 points in the final quarter. With 1:57 on the clock, the game was still very close, and Wincowski drew a foul on a three-point shot, according to

WincoskiÕ s hot shooting, along with all the WarriorsÕ aggressive rebounding and tough defense that prompted forced shots from Potsdam players Ñ resulted in Lake GeorgeÕ s victory. Wincowski scored 48 points and grabbed six rebounds in the contest. Kyle Jones contributed 10 points which included two threepointers. Andrew McGowan and Craig Keenan each scored three points. Adding two points each were Dylan Hubbard, Steven Colletti, and Zeke Reynolds — who tallied five rebounds. Tuesday, Wincowski reflected on the hard-fought victory that sent the Warriors into the state Final Four for the second time in three years. In 2013, the Warriors won the state championship, thrilling fans from all over the region. Wincowski said the Warriors worked hard as a team, overcoming the setbacks of a long bus ride to Potsdam and playing an opposing team in its hometown.

Saturday, about 200 people from the lower Adirondacks and the Capital Region joined residents of rural Thurman in a charitable party that featured hearty food, mountain music, and the eventÕ s namesake Ñ fresh maple syrup ladled onto shaved ice Ñ served as dessert. Joanna Carlton of Queensbury and her husband Wayne sat at one of the several long tables set up in the town hall, sharing conversation with those around them as they all ate the lateafternoon supper. The small-town ambiance of the traditional event was what has brought the Carltons back each year for five years, Joanna said as she took a bite of purple cabbage. Ò The great food is really good and the people are great up here,Ó she said. Ò We really like country folks.Ó Moving through the buffet line, Susan Maher talked about why she attended the party Ñ and brought along a friend visiting from Columbia. Ò Originally the maple Jack Wax drew me in, but I came back to enjoy the conversations Ñ people are so friendly here,Ó she said. Maher added that she was impressed how so many people turned out to raise money for local cancer patients and research into the disease. Ò Here, people care Ñ itÕ s refreshing,Ó she continued. Steeped in rural community spirit, the event Ñ held annually since people arrived by horseback and in sleighs Ñ raises money for the American Cancer SocietyÕ s local chapter. Arriving at the door and paying Susan Jennings for a meal ticket was Sunday Conine. Her husband Gary was volunteering to help check people in, next to Nancy Decker who was selling raffle tickets for donated wares. Hoddy Ovitt and the Warren County Ramblers played country music mountain-style nearby. Ò Each year, people look forward to this event,Ó Conine said, noting that years ago she annually attended with her grandmother. Ò For months thereÕ s a lot of anticipation.Ó Local residents served up about 75 pounds of turkey, 14 pounds of sirloin roast, 60 pounds of ham and pork shoulder, 45 pounds of chicken and lots of corned beef Ñ all prepared to perfection by the Templetons and volunteers.

Ò WeÕ ll be having about 70 people Ô visioningÕ the districtÕ s future Ñ what our programs should be like in a changing world,Ó he said. The summit was prompted by the communityÕ s work several years ago on the district strategic plan. This process included input from about 70 instructors, staff members, students and their parents. The plan called for strengthening and expanding curriculum opportunities, partnering with other school districts and boosting academic standards. Bolton school officials now would like to see the goals of that strategic plan extended and refined to include specific steps to achieve the objectives that had been identified, Graney said. One of the objectives likely to be pursued, Graney said, was
to take action to reverse the schoolÕ s declining enrollment Ñ including marketing the school and community to prompt families to move to Bolton or even convince parents outside the district boundaries to send their children to Bolton Central and pay the tuition charged to non-residents. The viewpoints expressed by community members participating in the summit, Graney said, will be summarized and reported to the school board for its work in developing the districtÕ s vision document. The number of people involved in the summit will be limited.

When his daughters begin to push boundaries by challenging the traditions theyÕ ve always cherished, Will Teyve bend, or will he break?

‘Great Upstate Boat Show’ returns to Qby.’s Dome next weekend QUEENSBURY Ñ The largest boat show held annually between New York City and Montreal is to be held Friday March 27 through Sunday March 29 at The Dome sports center, and a record attendance is expected. The 10th annual Great Upstate Boat Show, which in prior years has drawn people from all over New England, is to be held at the Adirondack Sports Complex off Sherman Road. The show annually features a wide array of boating accessories and personal watercraft as well as various types of boats. In years past, hundreds of different watercraft were on display, and over $4 million of sales occurred in 2014Õ s show Ñ which hosted a record crowd. The show has been growing substantially in recent years. Due to how holidays and school vacations are scheduled this year, the Eastern New York Marine Trades AssociationÕ s Board of Directors has returned the show to its original format of one big weekend, association Executive Director Roger Phinney said this week. Ò Making the show two weekends again this year would have pushed the second half of the show into the Easter weekend and the first weekend of many schools’ Spring vacations,” Phinney said. “It would have created potential problems for dealers, vendors, and at-
tendees.Ó Phinney noted that the 2015 show features new attractions as well as the availability of low interest rates, and aggressive dealer pricing because of the long winter. Ò At this yearÕ s show, top dealers and boating lifestyle vendors throughout the Northeast will be showcasing the latest boating technologies and lifestyle accessories for guests to check out, all in one convenient location,Ó he said. Phinney added that the event features a special bonus: Buyers can negotiate their best deal, then obtain an additional 2 percent off the bottom-line price on purchases occurring during the show. Each dealer offers their own financing, he continued. “Whether you’re interested in purchasing a boat for the first time or you would like to trade-up for a newer or different style boat, the Great Upstate Boat Show is a great place to explore your options,Ó Phinney said. He noted that boating enthusiasts can get all the information they need from the experts on site in order to make informed decisions on purchases. Show hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday March 27; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday March 28; and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday March 29.
People entering the 2014 Great Upstate Boat Show at the Adirondack Sports Complex sign up for a 2 percent purchase discount bonus as well as prize drawings. This year’s edition of the show, set for Friday Mary 27 through Sunday March 29, is expected to host a record crowd. Photo provided
Bands & Beans fest to rock the house in Lake George Sunday By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ Wall-to-wall people intent on partying, gourmet hearty food, bands on two stages Ñ ItÕ s been called northern New YorkÕ s Ò mother of all parties,Ó and itÕ s happening this weekend. The Bands Ô N Beans party, in itÕ s 24th annual edition, is set for 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday March 22 at Roaring Brook Ranch off state Rte. 9N southwest of Lake George Village. What started out 24 years ago as a local get-together of friends
of the arts Ñ a party spiced with mountain music and downhome food Ñ grew over several decades into an annual orgy of music, dancing and gourmet chili. In recent years, Bands Ô N Beans has attracted a capacity crowd of people primed to have a great time as they celebrate the end of winter. For 2013, Bands Ô N Beans Ñ a fundraiser for the Lake George Arts Project Ñ features nine bands performing on several stages. Selected by musicians, the bands represent a wide range of rock genres. For many years, the Stony Creek Band and other regional acclaimed bands have packed the house. The music ranges from
country-rock, rhythm and blues, to folk-rock and bluegrass as well as hard-driving party rock. For 2015, Stony Creek Band is back, accompanied a talented, eclectic lineup that includes Rich Ortiz, Soul Sky, Rattail Jimmy, Dirt Cheap, Chris Ballini, Doug Irving, Phil Camp, and Tim Wechgelaer & Friends. About 30 restaurants and have registered to cook up chili for the event, which now draws 1,000 people or more. The eventÕ s chili is annually tantalizing and creative as professional chefs vie for awards and bragging rights. Party attendees vote for their favorite chili. Last yearÕ s award winners were Up River Cafe in Lake Luzerne, FrederickÕ s Restaurant in Bolton Landing, GiovannaÕ s on The Lake at The Georgian of Lake George, Downtown City Tavern in Glens Falls, and The Log Jam in Lake George. Also on the menu is Rock Hill BakehouseÕ s award winning breads donated by baker Matt Funiciello, and Ben & JerryÕ s ice cream Ñ the latter for sale with all proceeds donated to the Arts Project. The event includes a raffle and a silent auction featuring a variety of items from local businesses. Raising up to $20,000 per year for the Arts Project, the event is the non-profit group’s largest fundraiser, the groupÕ s Executive Director John Strong said. Ò It should be a great day with a large turnout,Ó Strong said. People are weary of this lingering winter.Ó Admission is $20, and tickets are available at the door.

Bolton, Warrensburg schools poised to merge all fall sports By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com BOLTON LANDING Ñ Students at Bolton High School will have the opportunity to compete in football, field hockey, volleyball, and cross-country running next school year if a fall sports merger between Bolton and Warrensburg Central schools occurs as proposed. The Bolton Central Board of Education voted unanimously March 9 to combine its fall sports programs with Warrensburg, and a similar vote by the Warrensburg Central Board of Education is scheduled to occur at its April 13 meeting. Prior to the vote by the WCS school board, a public forum on the proposed merger is set for 7 p.m. March 31 at Warrensburg High School to hear citizensÕ input on the concept. If the WCS school board endorses the merger, the proposal then goes before Adirondack League and Section II officials for their approval — which is likely to occur, officials of both schools said this week. Last year, Bolton and Warrensburg combined their soccer programs Ñ and students, coaches and administrators of both schools deemed the merger a resounding success, as the joint programs raised the competitiveness of both the girls and boys teams. The Bolton-Warrensburg Girls Soccer Team ended the 2014 season by winning both the Section II and regional Class D championship, taking their winning campaign all the way into the New York State Final Four. Meanwhile, the joint boys soccer program, while not racking up similar victories, was able to survive and compete well. Without the added Warrensburg players, the program likely wouldnÕ t have fielded a Varsity team. This year, the joint soccer teams Ñ due to a rare one-time increase in WarrensburgÕ s grades 9-11 enrollment Ñ are to be designated Class C. This new classification will likely mean stiffened competition for the soccer squads. If the merger goes forward as planned, WarrensburgÕ s football and cross-country teams would remain in Class D despite their boosted enrollment, according to Section II guidelines for 201516. The schools’ joint volleyball and field hockey teams would compete in Class C, however. Up through this year, Bolton has only offered boys and girls soccer as fall sports. Warrensburg Central Superintendent of Schools John Goralski said March 17 that considering the two schoolsÕ falling enrollment, merging football, volleyball, field hockey and cross-country programs would likely be as successful as merging the soccer teams was. Ò Our partnership in 2014 went so well, thatÕ s why weÕ re expecting to extend it to all fall sports,Ó he said.
More depth, new talent on joint teams
WarrensburgÕ s football team, particularly, could have a dozen or more Bolton athletes join the Burgher team which has had some talented squads in recent years despite short rosters Ñ and the addition of Bolton players could help them achieve greater success, representatives of both schools said. Ò I see the fall sports merger as a win-win situation for both schools, as we will be able to increase our numbers, maintain our programs, and at the same time adding choices for our stu-

dents,Ó Bolton Central Athletic Director Francisco Roca said. A substantial number of Bolton students have already shown interest particularly in football and cross country, he added. Roca said Boltonians have discussed the impact of the BoltonWarrensburg soccer teamsÕ move up from Class D to Class C, and it hasnÕ t created much angst. Ò Although the girls soccer team wonÕ t be able to defend their Class D title, increased level of competition is the best thing for the school in the long term,Ó he said. Ò The merger provides more athletes for the various sports, and more facilities where they can train.Ó In field hockey, several additional athletes from Bolton may also bolster WarrensburgÕ s roster, enhancing their competitiveness. Warrensburg has a long tradition of an outstanding field hockey program that has spanned at least 35 years, with its teams winning dozens of championships. As late as 2007, the Burghers were runners-up for the state championship in field hockey. Last year, the team was second in the Wasaren League, and they competed in the Section II finals. Golf is one fall sport that may not be included in the merger, as both schools now field competitive teams.
Teams’ nicknames, colors to change?
While fans have joked that the Bolton Eagles and Warrensburg Burghers Ñ if they combined Ñ would be called the Bolton-Warrensburg Ò Beagles,Ó Ò BurglesÓ or Ò Eaglers,Ó Goralski said the merged teams would likely keep the nicknames and uniforms of the school that fields the most players for each particular sport, Goralski said. In soccer last year, the joint team was called the Bolton-Warrensburg Eagles, and Warrensburg players wore blue socks to flaunt their school colors along with their green Bolton Eagle uniforms, Goralski said. If the extended merger is pursued, the football team would likely con-
tinue to wear WarrensburgÕ s blue and gold uniforms, and be called the Warrensburg-Bolton Burghers, Goralski continued. Ò If any team is 50-50 in its composition, we may survey the athletes, and change the name and colors,Ó he added. The soccer home games are to be played on the Bolton field as they were last year, and the football home games would be held on Warrensburg’s field, Goralski said. Transportation to practices and games would be figured out jointly by officials of the two schools, he added. Both Goralski and Bolton Central Superintendent Michael Graney said that they were open to discussing the possibility of merging winter and spring athletics too, focusing on the sports that Bolton didnÕ t offer, as well as on programs that a merger could boost competitiveness and preserve programs. Ò WeÕ re trying to take this one step at a time, and make sure that if we do this, we do it right,Ó Goralski said, noting that Warrensburg CentralÕ s enrollment, like many other schools in the Adirondacks, has continued to decline over the past 25 years. Total K-12 enrollment of WCS has declined about 200 students in the past six or seven years to the present figure of 771, Goralski said. Warrensburg Athletic Director Scott Smith said he was optimistic about the proposed joint fall sports effort. “This could be very beneficial to both schools, strengthening their athletic programs,Ó he said. Ò Besides increasing the level of competitiveness and offering athletic opportunities, the kids are also going to make some great long-lasting friendships.Ó Smith continued his thoughts. Ò ItÕ s an exciting prospect for both schoolsÕ athletes, coaches and the two communities,Ó he added.

The NCAA itself is the real problem
Y
ou donÕ t have to be a New YorkerÑ or necessarily a sports fanÑ to have heard of the NCAAÕ s levying of penalties on Syracuse University menÕ s football and basketball programs two weeks ago. While Syracuse is the latest of schools at the receiving end of public scorn for athletic infractions, we forget the biggest problem in college athletics todayÑ the NCAA itself. HereÕ s a quick refresher of what happened at Syracuse: First, the university did follow through on its own rules when athletes tested positive for drugs. No, not steroids or HGH. Marijuana. Legal, no, but weÕ re not talking A-Rod here. The NCAA doesnÕ t require that schools test at all, and there are those that donÕ t, but any college that does has to follow through on whatever penalties it has on paper. Next, academic integrity matters. In a statement released by University Chancellor Kent Syverud, a menÕ s basketball player submitted a paper that two now-former employees helped him with in order to boost a grade and retain eligibility on a 2012 team poised for a deep tournament run. Finally, the local YMCA. In 2004-2005, two basketball players and three football players received a combined $8,335 from a booster and part-time YMCA employeeÑ an average of $1,667 per studentÑ along with academic credit for internships the athletes failed to complete. Not only did Syracuse accept that these violations occurred, it was the university reported them in the first place. It would be naive to think this doesn’t go on around the country in the money-driven world of college athletics. This was just an incident reported, investigated and publicized. Then came the penalties. Surely the university and athletics program saw them coming. In 2009, internal policies regarding student athletes were strengthened, and the school recently self-imposed a number of penalties that included tournament bans, vacated wins and probation. But when the hammer came down, it came down hard. Basketball head coach Jim Boeheim had 108 wins vacated, dropping him from 966 to 858 and second to sixth on the all time list, as well as receiving a ninegame suspension from ACC play next season. Players lost those wins, too. The school lost 12 lost basketball scholarships, a returning of all funds earned in Big East and NCAA tournaments in 2011-2013 (there’s no figure yet, but expect it to be well into the millions), five years of probation, a per player, per game fine and a reduction of off-campus recruiters. Ouch. DonÕ t get us wrong. The university screwed up. Maybe the activity at the YMCA was well hidden, or someone turned a blind eye. Maybe smoking mari-
juana didnÕ t seem like that big a deal to whoever was at the top of the disciplinary ladder. Maybe shady actions took place in an attempt to get a non-native English speaker eligible to play basketball. Maybe you can throw Boeheim or Athletic Director Daryl Gross under the bus. We could make the argument that the penalties were overly severe, but thatÕ s a whole different discussion. This series of events brings forth another topicÑ what’s wrong with college sports and, more specifically, the governing body behind them. The NCAAÕ s biggest cash cow is its contract with CBS sports for the right to broadcast the NCAA tournament, worth $10.8 billionÑ thatÕ s right, billionÑ over 14 years. Annual revenue closes in on one billion annually as plenty more dough comes in from sources like championships and investments. Meanwhile, a college kid playing basketball took a thousand or so dollars, capitalizing on his own talent and image, and in the process earned a school penalties that may be crippling. Lets face it. The idea of amateurism of the past is far gone in the age of big-bucks athletics. Colleges and major leagues have evolved while the NCAA has become dated and stagnant in its policies. “Extra benefits,” whether a check or a meal or a pair of shoes, can leave an athlete ineligible to compete at the collegiate level while their governing body grows fatter on money generated by its thousands of unpaid laborers. Yes, these kids are reimbursed in the form of a scholarship. And yes, that carries with it a value, but to say athletes are getting plenty is off the mark. Just look at the dollar signs. In 2013, the University of TexasÕ athletics department generated $165 million in revenue, and the NCAA is okay with that, just as long as no Longhorn tries to sell a $20 autograph. Meanwhile, coaches like Alabama footballÕ s Nick Saban and Duke basketballÕ s Mike Krzyzewski have negotiated a cool $7 million annually. At schools like that, where professional play is realistic for many, what athletes are getting in return for their play is the no-cost obligation to go to class in between games and practices. ItÕ s not all dollars, eitherÑ itÕ s the principle. ThereÕ s no disputing that the whole Ò they should be paidÓ debate becomes muddied when one factors in the tens of thousands of student athletes that arenÕ t in the big-revenue sports, but it doesnÕ t change the fact that system plays out financially more like prostitution than it does a fair business model. So when Fab Melo struggles with a class or Billy Edilin takes a check from the local YMCA, are they tarnishing the so-called Ò sanctity of college sportsÓ ? No, the NCAA has already taken care of that. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board, Dan Alexander, Keith Lobdell and John Gereau

Letters to the Editor
Time to raise the age To the Adirondack Journal: The time has come for the criminal justice system to treat young people across New York State as children, not adults. Currently, New York is one of just two states in the U.S. Ñ the other is North Carolina Ñ that imprisons and jails offenders younger than 18 years of age. According to Raise the Age, a public awareness campaign, other states have rejected this practice because Ò research into brain development underscores that adolescents are in fact children and that the human brain is not fully formed until the age of 25.Ó Adolescents are children. Prosecuting and placing them in the adult criminal justice system doesnÕ t work for them and doesnÕ t work for public safety. Holding them as responsible as adults for those decisions isnÕ t right. As adults, it is up to us to recognize this and adjust what we do when a teenager breaks the law. Governor Andrew CuomoÕ s Commission on Youth, Public Safety, & Justice has proposed a package of reforms to the juvenile justice system. The goal is to help troubled youth lead a more productive life, in turn making our communities safer and more productive. We learned a great deal about this issue from the Prison Time Media Project, produced by North Country Public Radio, which Adirondack Foundation was proud to support. Recently, the Adirondack Diversity Advisory Council formed to develop and promote strategies to help the Adirondack Park become more welcoming and inclusive of all New Yorkers, both visitors and permanent residents. We call on Albany to help us achieve a brighter future for our communities by raising the age as the governor has proposed. We encourage you to learn more about the Raise the Age campaign.

Marijuana awareness needed To the Adirondack Journal: Marijuana is a controversial plant. According to the Drug Enforcement Admiinistration it is the source of a dangerous drug which has no medical benefit. On the other hand anecdotal evidence such as reported in the The Feb. 26 Chronicle, recent medical research and government investigations such as the LaGuardia Report and the Shafer Report indicate that Marijuana is not dangerous and has potential medical benefit. There is no strong scientific evidence that marijuana is dangerous, however there is strong scientific evidence that it helps with a wide variety of medical conditions such as seizures, glaucoma, cancer, multiple sclerosis, alzheimers, auto immune diseases, reducing anxiety, stimulating appetite and reducing nausea from chemotherapy. In spite of this evidence of medical value, many politicians have been fearful of supporting legalizing marijuana or making it easily available for medical or recreational use. The public has very often been misled as to the dangerousness of marijuana. In an effort to educate about the history, uses and recent medical research, a video will be shown followed by discussion Friday, March 20 7 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Glens Falls, 21 Weeks Road . Assemblymann Dan Stec, State Senator Betty Little, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and DA Kate Hogan have been invited to share their perspectives on marijuana policy. It is unlikely that any of them will be there. Legalizing marijuana is an important issue. Unfortu-
nately our politicians and many citizens are misinformed about marijuana and support policies which leads to a huge waste of taxpayerÕ s money in police pursuit of buyers, sellers and users of marijuana, in ruining many lives in unjustifiable arrest and incarceration, and inhibiting research which could lead to alleviating and potentially curing many medical conditions. Strangely New YorkÕ s medical marijuana law prohibits smoking marijuana which is the most effective way for many patients to get relief. It is a sad example of politicians interfering with the practice of medicine. Robert Rockwell, M.D Lake George
Thankful To the Adirondack Journal: Dear Family, Friends & Community Members, I would like to say thank you to all of you for your support and generosity following the fatal house fire that took the life of my beloved husband Robert, our dog, and home. It has been rough, but thanks to all of you, I see a light at the end of this tunnel, signifying better days ahead. I cannot ever begin to say how thankful I am for everyoneÕ s support and generosity. There are no words to explain exactly how much this means to me. I donÕ t know what I would have done without the love and support shown by all of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Donna LaVergne North Creek
Slighted To the Adirondack Journal: In the beginning of this year I e-mailed the Ticonderoga Chamber of Commerce to discuss the possibility of doing a show for the best of the fourth and I was told that person I would donate my time (no Charge at all). I was told that I would be contacted by the head of the committee. On March 2 I was Contacted by Debbie Barber and we discussed me coming up to do a show on July 3 from 4 to 7 p.m. because that was the only time open. I agreed with excitement and said I would put on the best show ever and I wouldnÕ t let the town of Ticonderoga down. I planned to give a show like I did when I worked as a DJ at DocÕ s bar from 1986 to 1997. I actually put the fact I was coming on Facebook and got such a response that people were coming as far away as New Hampshire to hear me play. I was to have a meeting on March 12 with Debbie Barber but the night before I was to meet I was informed that there was someone already doing a show at that time and she (Debbie) was unaware of this when she asked me to do the show. When I got the message I got on the phone to talk about it and she hasnÕ t replied to my calls but she has message me on Fb with the statement she is sorry for the mix up but refuses to tell me who is in that time slot. Why is it such a security issue to tell me who is in that time slot. her reply was they never discuss until May which to me is flimsy at best. when we were suppose to meet on March 12 she conveniently left town and said there was a family issue. I find that a excuse to avoid this meeting knowing I was in town all day. Again to be the head of a committee you are suppose to be running the show and be in the loop at all times and to not return my calls and to tell me Yes we want you and you have this spot then to message me on Face book to tell me oh we made a mistake is totally wrong and Unacceptable! Man up and own up to your mistakes and stop avoiding the issue. Paul Hurlburt Schenectady (formerly Ticonderoga)
Thurman Maple Days continue this weekend THURMAN Ñ If thereÕ s anything North Country maple producers know a lot about, itÕ s waiting Ð biding their time for warm, sunny March days, waiting for the sap to flow so they can fire up their evaporators and produce maple syrup — as well as maple sugar, maple cream and candies to fill their sugar-shack shelves. This yearÕ s extended waiting Ñ due to the persistent frigid weather Ñ is about over, according to several maple harvesters hosting visitors this month during Thurman Maple Days. Charles Wallace at Hidden Hollow Maple Farm said his Ò sugar bushÓ produced enough sap last week so he could boil down sap on March 14 and March 15, Maple Days’ first weekend of three during March. Ò We were able to boil both days, and we had a good turnout,Ó Wallace said. Ò People seemed real pleased plus we made almost 80 gallons of syrup.Ó Randy Galusha of Toad Hill Maple Farm Ñ another destination during Thurman Maple Days — said the sap in his sugar bush also started to flow this last weekend, and they too have fired up their evaporator. Ò It looks like some promising weather coming, so we should be in full production over the next few weeks if Mother Nature cooperates,Ó he said. Sheila Flanagan of Nettle Meadow Farm, also offered her thoughts on the prevailing weather. Nettle Meadow is offering tastings of their worldrenowned artisan cheeses and complimentary coffee as well as farm tours over the next two weekends in March. Ò It was cold last weekend, but many people wanted to see the animals in the barns,Ó she said, noting that two baby goats and nine lambs were born in mid-March. Ò WeÕ re still lambing and kidding.Ó MartinÕ s Lumber also hosted visitors who braved the cold temperatures Saturday and Sunday. Gary Martin sawed timber and at his sawmill for people stopping by and showed them his maple slabs while talking about sustainable forestry. GaryÕ s wife, Wini Martin, said people enjoyed seeing the sawmill in operation. She also said the visitors savored seeing their locally-made crafts, trying their hand at making paper beads, and browsing through Sally FeihelÕ s selection of homemade soaps and lotions for sale, as well as John LosÕ s wooden wares. Thurman Maple Days continue March 21-22 and March 28-29, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Demonstrations at maple Ò sugarhouses,Ó of course, are the weekendsÕ headline feature Ñ whether itÕ s at Hidden Hollow, Toad Hill, or Adirondack Gold Maple Farm and Valley Road Maple Farm. Most of the tours, tasting, talks, demonstrations and shopping are offered between 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. A pancake breakfast is to be held at Valley Road Maple Farm from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. each Saturday and Sunday. The all-you-can-eat meals include ma-
ple-cured sausage from the famed OscarÕ s Smoke House in Warrensburg. At the Peru Llama Farm at 661 High St., proprietor Irv West will be providing insights into llama thinking, and giving people an opportunity to try out snowshoes. Thurman Maple Days organizers remind visitors that it is easy to visit all seven sites in the rural town if they travel to Athol and follow signs from one destination to another. A guide with a map is available at the Thurman Town hall or at www.ThurmanMapleDays.com.

Spring
S
t. PatrickÕ s Day is past and weÕ ve had our Irishman of the Year breakfast. WeÕ ve donned our green clothes, consumed our green beer along with our corned beef and cabbage. Time to turn the page. The season has officially changed and, after a rough winter, we deserve to be a little silly. I remember a childhood ditty: Ò ItÕ s springtime and the churds are burping.Ó I havenÕ t heard any burping except my own, but I am delighted to have turned that corner. We canÕ t wait for the humming birds to arrive. It started for me with the change by Gordie Little of the clocks. IÕ ve always worshipped Daylight Savings Time and would love to keep it all year long. I havenÕ t seen any crocuses popping up, but that will no doubt happen soon. We should all take time to celebrate this season of renewal before Easter is upon us. Planning our Ò LittleÓ garden, affectionately known as a Ò crop stripÓ along the fence separating us from the adjacent Morrisonville Fire Department, is always fun. Kaye and I find few things more pleasurable than digging in the dirt. Planting some seeds, growing some veggies and sprucing up the flower beds are all near the top of our spring list of things to do. I suppose some of you are unhappy with the change of seasons. Skiers and snowmobilers are praying for one more dumping of the white stuff, while the rest of us are getting our shorts and T-shirts out of mothballs and lining up the sandals by the kitchen door. What do you remember from your childhood about spring? For Kaye and me, itÕ s mud pies and puddles, marbles and hopscotch, roller skates and Hula Hoops. I doubt if many children even engage in such activities these days. ThatÕ s sad. Do your children and grandchildren even know how to dig a Ò potÓ with their muddy hands and play marbles outside? Probably not. I still have mine from more than 70 years ago, preserved in an ancient tin First Aid box. Do they start begging right about now for you to bring their bicycles out of the cellar or garage? We love to be able to shut down the furnace and open windows, especially in the bedroom at night, to breath in that fresh spring air. We pine for the first day when we can head out through our River Room onto the screened-in back deck and sit a spell, listening to sounds and smelling the smells of the outdoors. If you donÕ t have such a Shangri-La, youÕ re welcome to visit ours. For us, it defines enjoyment. Filling the cups with hot, black coffee and making our way out there in our jammies is pretty darn close to Nirvana. Walking outside is also great when the snow has gone and the winter salt and sand are swept away. Mud season is here and we donÕ t care, because we love the change of seasons and know intuitively that summer will be here after a while. There are so many smiles to be seen, compared with the recent winter blahs. Baseball season is also exciting for this Yankees fan and for Kaye who also enjoys the game. This was the first winter I had dedicated winter snow tires on my little hybrid car. I have to tell you it was one of the best moves I ever made: great tread, especially designed for our kind of weather, on rims that can be removed when the snow is gone. Then, the summer tires are installed and weÕ re good to go till next winter. Why didnÕ t I do this years ago? Live and learn. IÕ m writing this a week ahead of the publishing date, so I canÕ t predict when the Saranac River ice will break up and float either downstream or onto the banks and into our homes. We pray for a gradual thawing and a smooth transition from solid to liquid as winter snows melt and flow from the mountains. We’ve had our share of flooding problems in the past and donÕ t relish the memories. I leave you with another dated ditty: Ò Spring has sprung. The grass has riz. I wonder where the flowers is.”

Reading fact and encouragement
Did You Know that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is now the most common childhood behavior disorder and that it significantly impacts children’s reading skills and their general success in school? Doctors at Seattle ChildrenÕ s Hospital found that the risk of ADHD increased by ten percent for every hour of television per day above one that children three and younger watched. That is why it is so significant parents read, read, read to their children and allow children to engage in learning through reading activities. The Books for Children program has happily given out enough books that the bookshelves are in need of restocking! What a wonderful problem! So, if you would take just a few minutes to look through your gently loved books for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and young elementary, it would be greatly appreciated as your donations assist in the efforts to read to young children every day. There is a box entitled Ô Returns & DonationsÕ located at the Town Hall for the books.

Turning Back the Pages By Jean Hadden One Hundred Years Ago – March 1915 Horicon hermit jailed
Orrin Bruce, the Horicon hermit who has been indicted for mutilating cattle in that town and is now confined to the County Jail at Lake George, is believed to be insane as District Attorney James S. Kiley has announced his intention to have him examined by a board of physicians. It is alleged that Bruce has several times, within the past several years, cut the throats of young cattle, wrung the necks of fowls and committed other brutal crimes of that nature, always deserting the carcasses of the animals thus killed and making no use of the flesh. In many cases, it is claimed, the crimes were apparently committed to satisfy fancied grievances. When he was indicted by the Grand Jury last fall, Bruce disappeared from his usual haunts. No effort was made to find him as the authorities thought his continued absence would satisfy the demands of justice. It was learned last week, however, that the man had returned to Warren County and Under Sheriff Mac R. Smith went to Horicon and took him into custody. When he got him to the jail he found him to be in a horrible filthy condition. Bruce has been considered eccentric for some years and many people who know him are firmly convinced that he is mentally unbalanced. If the District Attorney is able to prove that this is the case, the man will be sent to the Matteawan Asylum for the criminal insane, other wise he will be tried at the June term of criminal court.
Will and testament scrutinized
A hearing was held before surrogate George S. Riley, at his chambers in Glens Falls, on the will of the late Thomas Gallup, of Thurman, which names his grandson, Basil R. Gallup, as the only heir to his estate, which is valued at $1,500. Mrs. George Hodgson, of Gansevoort, a daughter of the deceased, whose name is not mentioned in the will, is considering a contest of the probate of the instrument. Thomas and Mary Coyle, of Thurman, were witnesses to the will which was made about two weeks before the death of the testator and there is controversy over Mr. GallupÕ s signature as there was a line drawn through his signature. The matter was adjourned until April 15, 1915.
A sad state of affairs
A lamentable state of affairs exists in Warrensburgh as fourteen men and twenty-nine maiden ladies and widows currently live alone in this little burgh awaiting the arrows of the God of
Love to find them. They live here in solitary grandeur with perhaps, here and there, with only a cat or dog to ease their loneliness. How much more beautiful would it be for the fourteen and the twenty-nine to enjoy the company of one another as they sit in front of the family hearth and listen to the howling of the bleak winter storms? What is a home without a partner? The bluster of the storm would be forgotten in a game of dominoes, the clatter of the knitting needle or in the excitement of a family quarrel.
Winter loses its grip
Robins, blue birds and chipmunks have been seen by some of our correspondents and they auger from this that the warm days of spring may be expected soon. Another week will probably finish the snow unless Mother Nature sends us a new supply in the meantime. There is actually still plenty of snow but the hills are getting quite bare in some places. The ice in the Hudson River near Luzerne and Hadley, from Wolf Creek past the bay, has gone out. This is the earliest in several years that the river has been clear of ice this early. John S. Bateman, of Bakers Mills, finished filling ice houses on March 10, 1915. The ice was the finest ever harvested here being thirty inches thick.
Spring fishing fever
B.B. Bibby, of Warrensburgh and Fred R. Smith, of Bolton Landing, fished at Huntley Pond , in Minerva, the first day of open season for brook trout, with Ò Yankee JohnÓ Galusha as guide. They fished through 27 inch ice and caught 27 trout, aggregating 40 pounds in weight.
Birthday festivities
On Saturday, at noon, Glens Falls arrived at the mature age of seven years. As celebrations and merry-making are not good for children, nothing of that character was indulged in. Glens Falls received its city charter on March 13, 1908. Governor Charles E. Hughes, a native of Glens Falls, signed it.
Coal dealers
A.C. Emerson & Co., local coal dealers, is selling chestnut coal for $6.90 a ton and egg and stove coal for $6.65 a ton. On April 1, 1915 there will be an advance of ten cents a ton each month until September, 1915 when the price will be $7.40 for chestnut and $7.15 for egg and stove coal.
Painful death
A new milch cow owned by Byron Duell, of Bolton Landing,
died Thursday night under peculiar circumstances. The animal had been sick about a week, apparently of distemper and finally died in great pain. A post mortem examination disclosed the fact that a wire nail, no doubt swallowed by the cow with her food, had caused her death, having pierced the wall of her stomach
Deaths in Stony Creek
Mrs. John Winslow, 86, died March 7, 1915. She had been a resident of Stony Creek for many years. She is survived by her husband, a son, Alvin Winslow and a daughter, Mrs. Merritt Woodward. Internment, with many floral offerings, was in the Gill Cemetery. At Stony Creek many out of town people attended the funeral of the infant son of Burdon VanDusen. In other local news, Josiah Barber, a highly respected resident of Thurman, who, during his long life of ninety-two years knew no other home, died Monday, March 22, 1915 of diseases incident of old age. He leaves one son, Fred Barber, of Thurman. The funeral was held at Kenyontown.
Party time
Between 20 and 25 guests surprised Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Wheeler at their home on Third Street, Warrensburgh. They were quietly enjoying their tenth wedding anniversary when their friends dropped in and an evening of merriment followed, being concluded by a delicious repast.
Winter comes to an end
The inevitable has come. The arrival of March has caused the annual breaking up of the Ò LoaferÕ s Club,Ó a prominent Lewisville (River Street) organization. Manager Ò TunkÓ Herrick has handed in his resignation as he realizes that spring is here in Warrensburgh and it is time to get back to work. Ò CorkÓ Bennett realizes the same thing.
News roundabout
Hugh Morrison sold his stallion, Webster H., to an out-of-town stock man for $400. A.T. Crandall, of Warrensburgh, fell downstairs on Sunday, March 21, 1915 at his home on First Street and broke one of his fingers. Roscoe Stone, of Warrensburgh, will hang wallpaper by the roll or by the hour. Good work Ð low prices.
