Citizens welcome idea of bus service from Warrensburg south to Glens Falls By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ A proposal by a local entrepreneur to provide bus service to Queensbury, Lake George and Glens Falls was met with enthusiasm by town officials and area residents at a recent town board meeting. Ash Anand, owner of Lotus Analytics, Lotus Auto Xperts and Lotus Neutraceuticals Ñ all based in Warrensburg Ñ is now taking steps toward launching a daily bus service from Warrensburg to southern Warren County destinations. About 35 people attending a special town meeting on March 11, and many hailed the initiative, called Ò Lotus Link.Ó Town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty said that the town had lacked bus service for decades. Ò There is a need for public transportation like this, according to our economic development survey,Ó he said. Geraghty continued that many local residents have jobs in Lake George and metropolitan Glens Falls, but may want to save on the expenses of providing gasoline, insuring and repairs for a vehicle. The need for such a service has increased substantially since Warrensburg’s new expansive health center opened as of March 1, Geraghty added. Ò Scheduling trips for customer convenience is important,Ó he said. Tuesday March 24, Lotus Enterprises Director of Communication Maggie Morgan said plans were moving forward with the bus service, as Lotus Link employees had recently mailed out hundreds of letters to area seniors, was placing surveys at popular destinations, and was contacting regional transportation officials to establish bus stops. She added that Lotus Link has scheduled a meeting at 11:30 a.m. April 9 with area senior citizens, and was now taking steps toward hiring bus drivers. In response to questions from the public at the March 11 meeting, Anand said the buses would likely feature bicycle racks, be handicapped accessible, and be scheduled to meet public needs. Ò We want to do this right,Ó he said. Lotus Chief Operating Officer Darby Langworthy said that regularly-scheduled bus service would allow families to own one vehicle rather than two, saving them thousands of dollars per year. Area resident Anna Busser, a community sustainability activist, suggested that the bus service be extended to Chestertown. Ò This is fantastic,Ó she said of the Warrensburg-Glens Falls link. Ò For years, weÕ ve been waiting for this.Ó She suggested that the service link up with bus service op-
Ash Anand, owner of various enterprises based in Warrensburg, described his bus service proposal at a recent town board meeting. The concept was warmly received by the audience, whose members talked about how it would offer convenience and independence for area residents without automobiles, as well as saving families the expense of owning several vehicles.

erated in metropolitan Warren County by Greater Glens Falls Transit as well as linking with the regional bus line, Adirondack Trailways. Geraghty said he had talked with Greater Glens Falls Transit, and they were interested in such a collaboration. Warrensburg Town Historian Sandi Parisi noted how the service would be valuable particularly for upcounty senior citizens, as many of them donÕ t drive. Steve Parisi asked how the service would accommodate people who wanted to visit a particular store in Queensbury for an errand, and didnÕ t want to wait hours to get home. Ò Scheduling could be tricky,Ó he said. Langworthy said that the buses would likely be taking intermittent loops in Glens Falls, circling back in 15 minutes or so, ready to pick people back up. People in the audience talked of town residents who had endured major inconveniences when their due to vehicle breakdowns. One woman described how a friend had lost her job due to a disabled vehicle, and subsequently lost her home due to lack of income. Pam Morin of Warren County Planning office suggested that Lotus Link work with the First Wilderness tourism program, in which tour guides would board buses and take visitors up and down the Hudson River corridor and talk of area historic and natural landmarks along the way.

Dr. Ashey Seaver has joined Dr. ChamberlainÕ s practice, and the office is now open to treat patients 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, rather than three days per week. Seaver and Chamberlain have also expanded their practice to include an emphasis on stress management and weight loss as well as spinal alignment, good nutrition and maintaining a healthy lifestyle,.

Several people in the audience talked about how they had particular disabilities, and had to rely on friends to help drive them places Ñ and that a bus service would give them independence as well as convenience. Kathy Varney of Glens Falls HospitalÕ s Healthy Places to Live Work and Play initiative spoke of the benefits of bus service for area residents, particularly in aiding pedestrians. Ò This will be really good for our townÕ s Complete Streets program,Ó she said. Lotus enterprises CEO Ash Anand said Lotus Link would be providing transportation so people can get to their jobs, college classes, medical visits and shopping destinations. He proposed that the service would make three to five trips per day, depending on what area residents say they need.

Ò About 50 percent of personal health is a result of peopleÕ s own habits and lifestyle,” he said, noting exercise, good nutrition, weight stress management are key elements of good health. Ò We are committed to helping people understand the impact of their own habits on their health and make adjustments accordingly.Ó Chamberlain said this week that through both office visits and classes, Warrensburg ChiropracticÕ s patients can boost their prospects for vibrant health.

Warren County leaders endorse marijuana-growing plan By Thom Randall
recreational use, which he said he opposes. Hillary and Amy Peckham said that only people with specified, documented medical conditions could receive the marijuana products Ñ available only by prescription Ñ and doctors would not likely risk their licenses by prescribing to those who didnÕ t really need it for a medical condition.
thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY Ñ Warren County Supervisors voted in support of Amy and Hillary PeckhamÕ s proposal to develop a marijuana-growing facility south of Chestertown, an operation that is expected to provide dozens of well-paying, stable jobs in the northern sector of the county. The unanimous vote was cast by the supervisors following a detailed presentation of plans by Hillary Peckham, 23, and her mother Amy Ñ the wife of John Peckham, CEO of Peckham Industries. The firm operates a gravel quarry across state Rte. 9 from where the marijuana-growing and processing plant would be located, about one mile south of Chestertown. The operation, independent of Peckham Industries, would be operated by Etain, Inc. Ñ led by Hillary and Amy Peckham. Hillary PeckhamÕ s presentation focused on the anticipated public benefits of the operation, which include creating 25 to 30 jobs and providing substantial new tax revenue for the town, as well as offering patients relief from chronic pain and alleviating symptoms of a variety of medical conditions. New York State is poised to award five licenses statewide to grow and dispense medical marijuana, in a competitive bid process. Hillary Peckham said she expected 80 or more proposals to surface in the next few months, and about 20 of these would be serious contenders for these licenses. The county board’s endorsement is expected to be an important factor in the state giving serious consideration to the PeckhamÕ s proposal, which Chester Supervisor Fred Monroe and others say has a good chance for state approval, considering Gov. CuomoÕ s interest in stimulating eco-friendly industries and boosting jobs in the Adirondacks. Details of the licensing and permitting havenÕ t yet been determined by the state. The Peckhams estimated that the license applications would be due about May 1. The PeckhamsÕ initial plans call for the growing and processing to be conducted inside in an existing barn measuring about 7,500 square feet, plus in a one-story warehouse-type building to be constructed adjacent to it. The operation would produce marijuana extract in both oil and pill form, The state is mandating that each successful licensee operate four dispensaries, likely spread out regionally. These would be operating under the supervision of a licensed pharmacist certified to dispense medical marijuana. Amy Peckham said that the state hasnÕ t yet announced requirements for location of the dispensaries. Hillary Peckham said that EtainÕ s dispensaries would likely be located along the Hudson River corridor, and one might be located in the county. Medical marijuana would only be dispensed to patients who had specific diseases and syndromes, and they’d meet strict qualifications. She said that the Chester operation would be required
Expansion of facility, more jobs predicted
Queensbury Supervisor-at-large Doug Beaty questioned how the business could be sustainable with only 1,900 patients, a number estimated by the state. Hillary Peckham said that the stateÕ s forecast was likely conservative. Also, she said she envisioned that many additional maladies would be among the medical conditions approved for prescriptions of marijuana, and that the five licensed state operations would likely fill far more prescriptions than the state has estimated. She said she thought that rheumatoid arthritis PTSD, depression, chronic pain, and anxiety might be added to the list of qualifying conditions, and that would multiply the number of patients. And if further in the future marijuana restrictions were liberalized as in Colorado, she said, the Etain facility would have plenty more customers.

to be able grow and process enough marijuana to supply 1,900 patients with the end product.
County to obtain revenue from operation
If Etain is chosen for a license, Warren County could reap considerable benefits, Hillary Peckham said. Sales of the marijuana will be subject to a 7 percent excise tax — and the counties hosting the marijuana production plants are to receive 22.5 percent of this tax, and the county where it is dispensed is to get another 22.5 percent. The state is likely to keep the rest of the excise tax. Responding to questions from supervisors, Hillary and Amy Peckham said the facility would have tight security and be patrolled. The marijuana products would be stored in vaults, they said, adding that all employees would be subjected to background checks conducted by the F.B.I.. Queensbury Supervisor-at-large Rachel Seeber suggested the Peckhams consult with county Undersheriff Shawn Lamouree and advise him about their security plans, and they talked with him minutes after the meeting ended. Glens Falls 3rd Ward Supervisor Bud Taylor expressed concern that people feigning illnesses would obtain marijuana for
If Etain is awarded a license, job openings would call for experience in horticulture, construction, pharmaceutical work, security, property management, chemical engineering, and perhaps culinary expertise, as well as general labor. Hillary said that the licensed facilities were required by the state to allow labor to unionize if requested, and that the operation would pay decent wages, from $12 to $17 per hour for most general labor positions, and more for specialists and management. Town Supervisor Fred Monroe said that the PeckhamsÕ proposal offered tax revenue benefits as well as creating quality jobs Ñ and the family had demonstrated a longstanding commitment to the area. “Our town board is excited about this,” he said. “This facility would provide a great benefit to our community and the county Ñ 20 to 30 jobs is a big deal in Chester.Ó Queensbury Supervisor-at-large Mark Westcott said he also supported the proposal, citing the relief that medical marijuana provided for people with various afflictions, and how the facility could add good jobs upcounty. Lake George Town Suprvisor Dennis Dickinson praised the PeckhamsÕ proposal as presented. Ò I wish you the best of luck Ñ I hope this will be a Ô highÕ in your professional career,Ó he said, prompting chuckles and smiles from supervisors and the public. A unanimous vote of endorsement followed. Ò IÕ m thrilled about this vote of support,Ó Hillary Peckham said after the meeting.

Adirondack Journal Editorial
A
Dirty laundry
schism within the hospitality industry has spilled out into the public with the decision by a group of traditional hoteliers to urge Essex County lawmakers to regulate vacation rental units. At the center of the dispute is the bed tax. Hotels collect the 3 percent charge from their guests, vacation rental operators do not. That money, some $2 million annually, gets reinvested back into marketing efforts that promote the countyÕ s tourism assets. Vacation rental units are furnished houses, flats or condos rented to short-term guests, typically stays for 30 days or fewer. TheyÕ ve grown in popularity this decade, reflecting shifts in the travel landscape. A conservative estimate puts the number of rooms in Essex County at 1,500, compared to 1,900 traditional units. Vacationers are traveling in larger groups. TheyÕ re tacking towards customization and tailored travel experiences, while last-minute trips have also been growing in popularity. The vacation rental biz says theyÕ re simply accommodating these shifting needs and are providing what traditional operaters cannot. Spending a week in a private townhouse overlooking the Adirondack landscape, they point out, lends itself better to an extended family reunion than renting out a floor of hotel rooms, an experience that doesn’t always provide a unified experience. HereÕ s the rub: Under existing state law, units are not taxable as long as no housekeeping, food or other traditional hotel services are provided. ThereÕ s also several weird linen-related statutes, none of which make understanding the issue any easier. But whatÕ s clear is that the traditional operators find the current legislation unfair and want the county to close the loophole, a measure that appears to be permitted under state law. They say theyÕ re bankrolling the marketing efforts that are steering visitors into the vacation units. They say the growth of the vacation rental biz drives up local housing prices because many homeowners have decided that it’s more profitable to rent their residences for a long weekend than it is to house traditional tenants. And they say that since the bed tax is simply collected by the proprietor, businesses donÕ t incur a financial burden. These are all valid points. But we also agree with the other camp who
argues that traditional hoteliers have dropped the ball on adapting to shifting demand and they are simply giving the public what they want. Why should they be dinged? Seems like theyÕ re being punished for their success and targeted by jealous competitors. You could also make the argument that the traditionalists are crying sour grapes because the discussion was not initiated by government officials looking to amend an outdated law, but rather by members of the private sector with skin in the game. Furthermore, marching into the board of supervisors with a petition seems somewhat reactionary to us and that any policy immediately crafted from public outrage will likely be bad policy. The rhetoric on both sides has grown heated. Lawmakers even staged a walkout during a discussion last week. What was that all about? Time to cool down. Our country is built on a sense of egalitarianism and itÕ s in our DNA to automatically recoil against anything that we perceive as unjust or unfair. And while itÕ s tempting to demand a quick fix, change in policy should only come after stakeholders arrive at a wide consensus. Thorough examination is also needed to address the numerous question marks swirling around the issue: Where would the money go? How would a shift in policy be enforced? Should folks who let friends stay at their hunting camps, for instance, be required to collect a fee? These are all important questions that need time and further study to be hashed out. This is the approach county officials have taken when Board Chairman Randall Douglas announced the formation of a sub-committee that would bring together citizens representing the full spectrum of viewpoints. And it is the right one. Slow and cautious is the way to go, particularly considering surrounding counties will closely be following the discussion and how Essex County chooses to address this issue. A prolonged mud fight between our elected officials, traditional hoteliers and these new upstarts wouldn’t be beneficial for anyone, but rather an unnecessary airing of dirty laundry. And that would be bad for business. Ñ D enton Publications Editorial Board, Dan Alexander, Keith Lobdell and John Gereau

From the Hudson to the Kamo and back again Warrensburg alum publishes debut novel to favorable reviews By Ryan Edwards
ryan@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ WCS 1990 graduate Matthew AppleÑ pen name M. Thomas Apple—is an expatriate, an educator, a husband and a father of two. Yet, while scrambling to juggle family and career, he has managed to carve out the time to self-publish his debut novel Ò Approaching Twi-NightÓ this year. Currently a full-time professor of English at Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto, Japan, Apple travels through space and time to the Adirondacks of his youth through the novelÕ s protagonist Jonathan Ò DitchÓ Klein, a journeyman relief pitcher during the 1994-95 baseball strike. When the strike ends, so do KleinÕ s prospects as a replacement pitcher in the Major League, leaving him to sign a contract for the Minors. Apple writes of Klein, Ò He grew up here, between the ancient rocks and rapid river ... where Chingachgook once pursued Magua and cannon smoke filled the skies, the gentle evergreen mountains surrounded the local communities like strong mothersÕ arms...Ó Ò I think itÕ s a regional book,Ó Apple said in an interview, Ò and I consider myself to be a regional guy.Ó Apple published his novel after returning to it from an 18 year hiatus. The early draft of the book was written while Apple pursued a masterÕ s degree in creative writing from the University of Notre Dame Du Lac, where he published works of short fiction and wrote a weekly column for The Observer, the schoolÕ s student-run newspaper. Apple had to put his creative writing on hold, however, while he earned his doctorate taking classes part-time at Temple UniversityÕ s Japan campus. Fathering two children in the interim certainly didnÕ t make it any easier to make the time to pursue his passion for fiction writing. Now a 15-year permanent resident of Japan, Apple has returned to his home state of New York through his writing and finished an almost two-decade-long chapter of his life. Ò ItÕ s kind of like looking at a stranger in many ways,Ó he said. A lifetime baseball fan, Apple says he chose
to write about the sport because Ò sports show us who we are as people. They are a mirror to society.Ó In the novel, Klein, a decade older than his teammates, conjures up a possible backupplan to his athletic career as a sportswriter. The question remains, however, whether he is a pitcher who wants to be a writer or a writer who wants to be a pitcher. While Apple hesitates to call the novel autobiographical, as he never played on a baseball team outside of high school, the writer joked as to where on the spectrum he falls: Ò I wanted to be a pitcher, but they told me I wasnÕ t tall enough,Ó he said. Ò Approaching Twi-NightÓ has received favorable reviews from such sites as goodreads. com and Ò Writing as Art,Ó a blog run by novelist and English teacher Eric James-Olson. Ò ReaderÕ s FavoriteÓ reviewer Jack Magnus hails, Ò The authorÕ s writing is eloquent and lyrically beautiful ... it was just so compelling and real É Ô Approaching Twi-NightÕ is masterfully written, and the story line is first-rate. I had a marvelous time reading it.Ó On the enterprise of self-publishing, Apple said, “It’s difficult to find an audience.” He is not discouraged, though, and he is pleased with the feedback he has received so far. Apple maintains that persistence in publishing, as in writing, is key to success. Ò I didnÕ t write the book to make money; I
wrote it because I like to write, and I hope people will like to read it,Ó he said. Ò The danger,Ó he said, Ò is in giving up.Ó Apple is planning a trip to Warrensburg this summer during which time he intends to schedule readings and signings at area businesses. For more information on the author and his future projects, visit his website at mthomasapple.com. M. Thomas Apple, a graduate of Warrensburg Jr./ Sr. High School, has self-published his debut novel “Approaching Twi-Night,” set in upstate New York, this year. Photo provided
Ò Beware the Ides of March.Ó YouÕ ve no doubt heard or said that phrase, but can you pinpoint its source? I loved the Shakespeare course I took while a student at Stony Brook back in the late Ô 50s. The professor, however, was not enamored with me. Most of the classes there took the form of round table discussions and, even though he was a world-renowned expert on the Bard of Avon, we had daily disagreements. He desperately wanted to fail me, but apparently saw something redeeming in my work and I managed to squeak by with a passby Gordie Little ing grade. ThatÕ s certainly more than you wanted to know about me and Shakespeare. IÕ ve always enjoyed his work including all 154 sonnets. I had the pleasure and good fortune of attending one of his plays at the American Shakespeare Theater in Stratford, Connecticut back in the day. I was astounded when a 6-foot, 5-inch actor by the name of Fred Gwynne walked onto the stage in costume. That was long before Ò Car 54, Where Are You?Ó and the Ò Munsters.Ó You might not be aware that he was a fine vocalist, artist, childrenÕ s book author and more, above and beyond his enormous acting skills. Even though he was a fine Munster monster, that image will forever jump into many heads when his name comes up in conversation. In any case, I conjured up his image on March 15 this year, which you might know was the Ides of March. Ò Beware the Ides of MarchÓ was penned by Shakespeare to be spoken by the soothsayer in Ò Julius Caesar.Ó March 15, on the old Roman calendar, is the date Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC. Calendars were far different in those days and the 15th of the month wasnÕ t a frightening time at all before Caesar failed to heed the seerÕ s warning. It was close to the beginning of the year and involved celebrations rather than scary predictions. Every month had Ides, but March 15 begat the dark mood after Caesar met the knife. Shakespeare sealed it for us with that now famous line. The Ides only fall on the 15th of March, May, July and October. The ides of all the other months fall on the 13th. Oh, you never gave it a thought on the 15th? Nothing bad happened at our house on the date except for moaning and groaning about the long, cold winter here in the North Country. We watched and waited for snowbanks to diminish and prayed for a slow, stress-free melt of the thick ice on our beloved Saranac River. I think there was supposed to be a full moon on the Ides of March back in Roman times. Not this year. It sneaked by us on the 5th of the month. In CaesarÕ s day, the calendar was based on phases of the moon. That nearby celestial body still holds a strong place in our songs and our conversation. There was a total solar eclipse March 20 on the equinox and a lunar eclipse will be visible here soon, on April 4. So, if the temperature outside didnÕ t rise to 70 for the equinox on March 20 and you had bad luck back on Sunday, March 15, you can blame it on the soothsayer, or Shakespeare or anybody but me. It was the fourth Sunday of Lent and with the grace of God and help from Kaye, IÕ ve been able to avoid my favorite cookies, cake and doughnuts. Wish me luck and maybe I can hold out till Easter. By the way, on March 15, 1939, Germany occupied Czechoslovakia. And the Ed Sullivan show was cancelled on that date in 1971. Too bad. It was a Ò really big show.Ó I loved the way Sullivan pronounced the word Ò show.Ó You might recall a great band called the Ides of March that formed over 50 years ago in Illinois and is still going strong. A pretty good 2011 movie was also entitled the Ò Ides of March.Ó March Madness? ThatÕ s another topic entirely and it was underway the day I wrote this. Sorry. I didnÕ t have a bracket. IÕ m still getting ready for baseball season.

First-time coach helps Lady Cougars continue undefeated legacy By Ryan Edwards
ryan@denpubs.com C H E S T E RT O W N Ñ To d d Lawson may be new this year to scholastic coaching, but he says North WarrenÕ s recordbreaking 2014-15 Junior Varsity Girls Basketball Team made his first season as enjoyable as it was rewarding. The 2013-14 team made school history last year as the first Lady Cougars squad, JV or Varsity, to go undefeated with a 17-0 season record. This year with Lawson at the helm, the girls topped their record. They finished 18-0, keeping up the momentum that began the year before. The 2014-15 team didnÕ t just manage to win Ñ they averaged 41 points per game, as they held their opponents to an average of only 20 points per game. A number of the players were awarded recently for their contributions to the teamÕ s success. Point guard Hannah Kenney was named Offensive Player of the Year, guard Sarah Stewart won Defensive Player of the Year, and forward Brooke French was awarded as the teamÕ s leading rebounder. All three are 10th graders. Sydney Gagnon, an eighth grader, won the CoachesÕ Award. Also playing on the team and contributing a lot were Chelsea Yarosh, Alyssa Kramar, Alyssa Dewar, Sam Rogers, Chloe Jones and Sydney Cooper. The North Warren School Board honored the team for their achievements with an Ò Above and Beyond RecognitionÓ at their meeting held Monday, March 16. Lawson said it was a bit daunting at first to inherit the record-breaking team, which retained five players from last year and added five new ones. Ò The girls were really attached to the previous coach,Ó he said. Ò ItÕ s always tough when there are adjustments. I had to get used to them and they had to get used to me.Ó Soon Lawson got to know his team, and the team their coach Ñ and before long they were winning games. He said, Ò I told them win or lose, undefeated or not, I wouldnÕ t care as long as they leave it all out on the court. And they did.Ó He attributes the teamÕ s success to the playersÕ aggressive
offense and their hard work in practice. Ò Our plan was to better ourselves each week Ñ to go out and play each game to our full potential,Ó he said, noting his players are very competitive, and they work together well. Ò The girls spread out the ball well and look to get the ball to the open player,Ó he said. Ò Also, they out-hustle every team Ñ If thereÕ s a loose ball on the floor, they get it.Ó Lawson is already preparing for next season. “We’re trying to build the program,Ó he said. His plan is to keep the girls playing year-round between the Amateur Athletic Union and summer league teams, both of which Lawson will be coaching. Although the team will lose four players to Varsity, Lawson has already pulled some girls from the Modified squad to play on the AAU team, which is comprised entirely of North Warren players, to assimilate them into the team and prepare them for more fast-paced play. As for continuing the teamÕ s undefeated streak, Lawson offered a positive forecast. “I look forward to next season,” he said. “Hopefully we can be successful again.Ó ABOVE: North Warren’s 2014-15 JV girls have put another undefeated season in the books.

Turning Back the Pages By Jean Hadden One Hundred Years Ago – March, 1915 Automobile fever
The automobile epidemic has a strong hold on Warrensburgers and the cars are being snatched up as quickly as they come into town. Before the summer is well under way, it is estimated that there will be nearly double the number of cars owned here than there is at the present time. Henry Ashe and Martin L. Messinger, of Warrensburgh, and Charles Harris, of Athol, has joined the rapidly increasing ranks of automobilists, each of these gentlemen being the purchaser of a five passenger Maxwell touring car. Jerry La Rocque has purchased a Dodge automobile, a classy looking car. The new Adirondack Garage, at Warrensburgh, has recently received two more carloads of Fords and one of Overlands. The Ford Roadsters are $440 and the Ford touring cars are $490. The Overlands, from Toledo, are $795, $850 and $1,075, fully equipped with electric starters (no more cranking) and electric head lights (which no longer flicker out when the wind blows.) (Note Ð A hundred years has brought a drastic change in the price of some, if not all, Ford motor cars. Ford currently has a GT fiber supercar, 600 horsepower, coming out in 2016, comparable to the Lamborghini Aventador which sells for $400,000. The price of this new Ford is yet to be disclosed. Will we see one in Warrensburg?) The Maxwell motor car company was started in 1904 by Jonathan Dixon Maxwell and it was a truly beautiful automobile. Comedian Jack Benny drove one.)
News from afar
Lincoln Peachey, noted as an aviator the world over and perhaps the greatest rival of the Frenchman Pegond in the execution of the hair raising aerial feats, fell to his death at San Francisco in the new German Taube monoplane in which he had been attempting to duplicate the spectacular performances which to the biplane he was the acknowledged master. The fatal drop was made from a height of 3,000 feet at the Panama – Pacific exposition and was witnessed by a crowd of 50,000 people. The Taube, with Peachey, fell into San Francisco Bay. The machine with the body of the ill fated aeroplanist, still strapped in the aluminum body of the Taube, was recovered two hours later.
Adirondack guide dies
Louis Seymour, known as Ò French LouieÓ for the past forty years, an inhabitant of the Adirondacks, in the vicinity of Speculator, Hamilton County, died Feb. 27, 1915 at BrookÕ s Hotel, in Speculator. He was eighty years old and succumbed to BrightÕ s disease. Ò LouieÓ was well known throughout the section in which he lived, as a trapper, fisherman and guide. He lived alone in his forest hut and enjoyed a life of solitude except when he was sought by persons who wished to employ him as a guide. He is believed to have five brothers who live somewhere in Canada. (Note Ð BrightÕ s disease is chronic nephritis or kidney disease.)
Dwelling house burned at Bolton
Elisha MiddletonÕ s farm house on Bolton Hill, about a mile from Bolton Landing, was destroyed by fire, March 31, 1915. The loss is about $1,500 with no insurance. The fire started from a defective chimney and was discovered by Clarence Monroe, who
was passing the house. With no fire fighting facilities whatever, nothing could be done to check the flames. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Potter occupied the house and the owner boarded with them. Most of the furniture belonged to Mr. Middleton and only part of that on the ground floor was saved. The house was a two story frame building.
Fort William Henry expands
It has been noised about at Lake George that the Delaware and Hudson railroad, owners of the Fort William Henry Hotel, has appropriated moneys for the purpose of enlarging that hostelry. The plans call for an addition of one hundred new rooms, the old structure containing eighty rooms. Due to the foreign war in Europe (World War I), which will force many thousands of tourists, who ordinarily spend the summer in foreign climes, to visit American resorts, local hotelmen are looking ahead to an extremely prosperous year. Charles A. Douglas, of Saratoga Springs, will be resident manager of the hotel as of May 1, 1915.
Johnsburgh, a town of bridges
This spring, four steel bridges will be erected in Johnsburgh. One will have a span of forty-nine feet and will be erected across Mill Creek. The other, with a span of forty-five feet will be put in place across the North Creek by Bert StraightÕ s place. The other two bridges will have a span of twenty feet each. The total cost of erecting the four new structures, which will be modern in every way, including concrete floors, will be $7,000. With a total of 163 miles of highway within its boundaries, the town of Johnsburgh has 164 bridges of a span of from twenty to fifty feet or better than one for every mile of highway, to say nothing of hundreds of smaller bridges and culverts.
Holden Kenyon dies
After a long life of 81 years passing entirely in the Town of Thurman, Holden Kenyon succumbed too pneumonia Friday morning, March 5, 1915. He is survived by a widow and two daughters, Mrs. George Daggett and Mrs. Sanford J. Dow. He died at the home of Mrs. Dow. A grandson, Lee A. Baker, of Athol, also survives. The funeral was held March 7, 1915 at the Methodist Episcopal Church in Thurman and the bearers were Sanford J. Dow, A.W. Baker, Leo A. and John E. Baker.
Adirondack town news
Horton Ross bought a new milch cow of George Smith. While unloading logs recently at the Phelps Mill, in Pottersville, Mr. Ross, 33, was struck in the head by a log. He has a wife and three children. Percy Bruce has the chicken pox. Addison Blair expects to be making sugar soon. Mrs. Allie Bump fell on the ice and struck her arm on the edge of a barrel, injuring it so badly that she has been unable to use it since. Patrick Sheehy lost a valuable cow on Friday, March 5, 1915. It ate too much grain. Clark Gregory and children walked across the lake from South Horicon, Sunday, March 14, 1915 and visited Mrs. Girard, their grandmother.
Glens Falls sale days
Beginning Wednesday, March 24, 1915 and continuing every Wednesday thereafter for a period of two months, the merchants of Glens Falls will conduct a special trade day, known as Ò Subur-
ban Day.Ó Reduced round trip fares will be in effect on the Hudson Valley Railway trolley from Warrensburgh to the city for the convenience of local shoppers. Many good bargains are to be had for eager shoppers.
Uncle Sam’s Navy
Lawrence Wallace and George Bruno went to New York, Tuesday, March 16, 1915 to enlist in the United States Navy. Young Wallace, who has a taste for music and has for several months been a member of the local Cadet Band, will endeavor to enlist as a musician. In other news, Maurice OÕ Connor Jr, of Warrensburgh, a member of the graduating class of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy, is among the students elected in the honorary society of Sigma Xt.
Local news, near and far
The Everts House, at Athol, conducted by George Lucia 2nd, the only hotel in the town of Thurman, was burned to the ground early Monday morning. In Bolton Landing, M.H. TannerÕ s pet horse, Ò Old Jack,Ó suffered several days recently from lock jaw, caused by a nail in his foot. Everything possible was done to relieve his distress and for a time he seemed likely to recover but he grew worse and died. The pretty home of Dr. and Mrs. E.L. Wilson, at Bolton Landing, was recently the scene of a pleasant gathering of twelve couples to play cards with the spirit of competition waxing high. Mrs. Theodore Ormsby was the winner of the ladies first prize and C.E. Wilson Jr, was the winner of the gentlemen’s first. The gentlemenÕ s consolation prize went to Arthur Lamb and the ladies consolation prize went to Miss Genevieve Kelley.
Happening locally
Mrs. Arvilla Watson, of Bolton Landing, on March 15, 1915, celebrated her eighty-six birthday anniversary. She knits socks and wristlets for the Red Cross Society to go to soldiers fighting in the European War. A son, Lee Walter Duell, was born to Mrs. Orlin Duell, weighing ten and a half pounds. The stork brought a fine boy to the home of William McElroy, Hudson Street, Warrensburgh. Sanford Kenyon, of North Thurman, is slowly recovering from the grip. John C. Smith, of Stony Creek, wants to sell his matched pair of sorrel mares, four years old, 2,400 pounds, as he has finished his winterÕ s work and no longer has any use for them. Elmer Dickinson, of Bolton Landing is having a bath room built in his house. William J. Baker is tapping his sugar trees. In Chestertown, Patrick Sullivan is drawing slab wood from Joseph BoltonÕ s farm. Thomas Thorneloe is superintendent at Foxlair Camp in Bakers Mills. Thought for the day Ð The bearÕ s a foolish brute IÕ m told, he has a coat to wear, but even when the weather’s cold, you’ll find he’s always bear.

North Warren prepares for major technology upgrade By Ryan Edwards
ryan@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN Ñ Last fall, state voters approved the Smart Schools Bond Act. a $2 billion initiative to outfit schools and classrooms with the necessary technology for students to graduate with the skills they need to thrive in the 21st century. North Warren is scheduled to receive $297,000 to upgrade the schoolÕ s technology and promote college and career readiness. The Board of Education is now faced with the decision of how to utilize the funds in a way that best benefits its students. “Our goal is to leverage that money to its maximum capacity,Ó said Superintendent Peg Brady. In preparation for the one-time infusion fund, the school hired an external evaluator to determine the most effective way to use the money. Rich Wilhelm, who currently works in the IT department at Bennington College, was selected for the job. Wilhelm assisted in the installation of much of the schoolÕ s current technology, so Wilhelm performed a three day audit of the schoolÕ s technology, during which he concluded that some major upgrades were needed to bring the school into the 21st century. Wilhelm presented his report and offered his suggested upgrades to the board at their meeting held Monday, March 16. Ò Basically what we got out of that report is that we need to upgrade our wireless, our firewall and our switching system,” Brady said. Among WilhelmÕ s other suggestions was his recommendation that the school install a backup power generator and also that they convert their system to Google Apps for Education, which would allow the school to Ò designate and limit bandwidth, rather than everyone pulling from one big pool,Ó Wilhelm said. This system will benefit the school in that a majority of students are already bringing smartphones, tablets and other such computing devices with them to school every day. Rather than admonishing students for such behavior, North Warren plans to encourage it. In fact, they have already begun the process. Ò We do have classes where teachers have the kids use cellphones,Ó Brady said. Ò But there is currently no management system in place to regulate studentÕ s device use.Ó Google Apps for Education will provide the school with this management system, as well as providing additional security for its students. Ò Google Apps for Education provides better accessibility to documents, better security, and is more cost effective,Ó Brady said. Internet speed was another issue raised by Wilhelm, which he said is Ò a fourth of what it should be.Ó Brady said she hopes to switch to fiber optic internet if it is available, which would require the board to go through the town first. Brady also hopes to designate a portion of the funds to establishing a distance learning lab at North WarrenÑ a project about which she has been in conversation with Senator Betty Little. The lab would allow students at North Warren to videoconference with other districts in a sound and voice controlled classroom. This includes classes, collaborations and even virtual field trips. The lab would not only benefit students, as it would also allow faculty to hold discussions and meetings with other districts as well. Ò I envision teachers getting together online to plan cooperatively, to meet online as opposed to in person,Ó Brady said. The change will not occur overnight, of course, but the completion of the evaluation process is a step in the right direction. The board is now working to nail down the specifics of the project so they can submit their plan to the State Education Department for approval.

LAKE GEORGE — “Kindergarten Round-Up Information”
Spring will be seasonally delayed
A
lthough the arrival of the spring season has come and gone, it appears the winter season will continue to maintain command over the local landscape, with a deep snowpack in the woods, and chilly temperatures in the air.While I have yet to find any sign of snowfleas in my ski tracks, I did manage to jump a few ducks while skiing along a small mountain stream in recent days. The snowpack has really held up well so far, and it appears ice will continue to lock out any potential pond anglers for at least another week, or two. So far, there have been no loons in sight, although theyÕ ll likely show up at the Champlain ferry crossings soon. The annual trout season begins April 1st, in just about a week, and the likelihood of finding fishable, open water is about the same as locating a pack of little green men in a shiny saucer. An old anglers finest advice, “Don’t be wasting your time; there are far better chores that you can avoid by fishing later on when the season finally rolls around.Ó However, if you must wet a line, the most likely waters to be productive will be around the inlets an outlets of lakes and ponds, or at the base of waterfalls or rapids, where water temperatures are likely to be warmer than elsewhere. Watch for birds such as gulls, cormorants, osprey and eagles gathering on shore near the mouth of rivers and streams for evidence of the impending sucker spawn and smelt run. These inlets and outlets often produce some of the fastest action of the early spring, and bird lifer, or otters a sure sign that something is likely stirring underwater.

With recent news of yet another winter rescue necessary on the summit of Mount Marcy, it appears the inherent dangers of wandering in a winter wilderness are regularly going unheeded. The most recent incident began on Saturday, March 21, the day spring was supposed to have sprung across the land. While springlike weather conditions are still a month away in most parts of the Park, the summit of Mt. Marcy and itÕ s surrounding mountain environs remain solidly encapsulated in artic conditions. Reportedly, on the day of the most recent rescue, summit conditions included winds ranging between 30 and 40 mph with gusts up to 50 mph, and wind chills down in the range of minus 30 to 40F degrees below. Such was the case as a team of over two dozen Forest Rangers set off from the Adirondac Loj on Hart Lake with an assortment of skis, snowshoes, snowmobiles and a State Police helicopter on a search

However, if the likelihood of being accessed a substantial rescue fee actually deters them from wandering where they shouldnÕ t go in the first place; especially to a place like the summit of Mt. Marcy on a cold and windy, winterÕ s day. Hey, itÕ s worth the consideration! It has been well established that many outdoor travelers are now willing to take unreasonable chances due to the prevalence of handheld electronic navigation devices and the (expected) availability of instant cellular communications. If they do happen to get lost or hurt, they can now rely on a satellite location beacon device ( SPOT) to show rescuers where to find them. The SPOT device actually charges users a subscription fee, which could be considered a form of insurance. As long as travelers are seeking adventures, there will be a need for S&R. As the fabled, Saranac Lake Game Protector Dick Emperor once claimed, Ò A man who claims heÕ s never been lost, never went too deep into the woods.Ó IÕ ve also been told Ò Any hunter who claims heÕ s never been turned around a few times is either a damn liar, or he spent his days in the rockinÕ chair on the front porch at camp. Ò For many travelers, the concept of undertaking an adventure without a measure of risk is not really an adventure at all. However, there remains a fine line between risk and responsibility, and it is incumbent upon all travelers to assume a reasonable degree of responsibility regardless of the risk. Again, kudos go out to the many men and women in green who are always ready to get to the scene when they are needed. Not to be overlooked are the service of State Police helicopter pilots whose skill in handling high winds and whiteout conditions atop a mountain summit should never be taken for granted.
and rescue operation to locate a 39 year old woman, and her two boys, ages 7 and 11. The party was eventually located the following morning on the side of the mountain, below the summit of Marcy. The young boys were immediately airlifted to Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake, and the helicopter promptly returned for the mother who had remained behind in the care of Forest Rangers. Due to the professionalism, and rapid response of both Rangers, and State Police personnel, another potential mountain tragedy was averted. However, the incident reinforces the need for stricter standards for Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact winter mountaineers. him at brookside18@adelphia.net. While the costs involved in the rescue effort are of little consideration as compared to the human lives that were saved, the recent incident again illustrates the need for increased awareness, training and education for all winter wanderers, especially those traveling in extreme elevations. Although the availability and reliability of NYSDECÕ s Search and Rescue operations is as certain as the sunrise, there has long been a lingering question concerning the costs associated with such operations; especially when they are a direct result of a blatant disregard for the education, experience, equipment and skill necessary to deal with current weather and trail conditions. There are a number of states and federal lands, where fees are now accessed for S&R. In most places, wilderness or not, if you call 911 and are taken to the hospital in an ambulance; youÕ ll receive a bill from the ambulance company. So why should hikers and climbers, hunters or anglers expect anything less than the costs associated with search-and-rescue (SAR) operations cost? There are also a number of ski areas that offer resNorth Country anglers are likely to find mid-winter conditions when the Opening Day cue insurance policies, which is now mandatory of trout season, arrives on April 1.

OUR BALL?: Andrew McGowan looks for the call after tying up a Waterville player during the Class C championship game. Photo by Jill Lobdell
Ò Andrew and Zeke set the screens, and they went under the screens, which surprised me.Ó The defensive move left Wincowski open from 30-feet away for the release. Ò I was just trying to judge the ball in the air to see if it had a chance,Ó Jones said. Ò WeÕ ve seen him it that shot before. ItÕ s in his range, so why not?Ó “My first thought was praying it went in, then I thought to get to the boards in case there was a chance to get a rebound,Ó McGowan said. “I got confidence in that kid, and I was praying it was going in,Ó Craig Keenan said. Ò I was amazed he got that much space,Ó Dylan Hubbard said. Ò We trust him.Ó Ò I had no clue how far away it was,Ó Wincowski said. Ò I just wanted to give it a chance.Ó The silence falling over the Glens Falls Civic Center as Wincowski’s shot flew through the 30 feet of air between his right hand and the rim was pin-drop level. Until the ball went straight through the net. Ò That shot was so pure Ñ when it was halfway up, I knew it was in,Ó assistant coach Blake White said. Ò Big players want the ball to take the big shots, and thatÕ s what he got,” assistant coach Tim Kissane said. “I’m very excited and happy for the entire team.Ó Ò Joel always pulls through for us,Ó Zeke Reynolds said. Ò He takes over a game if he needs to Ñ he takes it in his own hands and does what he needs to.Ó Not only did the crowd and press row erupt in amazement, so did those at the scoring table, who forgot to stop the clock after a made basket in the final minute of play. One of the referees stood at the side and watched the mayhem. Ò That kid is amazing Ñ that shot was from NBA range,Ó he said. The resetting of the clock to 1.6 seconds did not prove to be a chance for a miracle in WatervilleÕ s case, despite a brilliant coaching move by the Indians’ Coby Maxam, who called a timeout on the in-boundÕ s pass to half-court after the catch. Once the final Waterville shot bounced off the backboard and away from the front end of the rim, the Civic center exploded with noises of celebration again, as the Ò home townÓ team officially clinched the title. Ò I am proud of the work we have put in as a team,Ó Wincowski said after scoring 30 points to go with four rebounds and four steals on his way to being named the tournament MVP. Ò We are a family and it means everything to us. We played great as a team.Ó “This means so much,” said McGowan, who finished with 7 points and nine rebounds in being named an all-tournament player. Ò This is what we dreamed about and everything I wanted my senior season to be.Ó Ò It was an unbelievable game,Ó Keenan (three points, four rebounds, two steals) said. Ò This was a wonderful atmosphere and all 15 kids have worked hard to be here. ItÕ s just amazing for the school and community.Ó Ò It was a very good battle between the two teams,Ó Hubbard (nine points, two rebounds, one assist, one steal) said. Ò This really shows how great of a coaching staff we have and how Joel can bring this team together as our leader.Ó Ò It has been a spectacular run,Ó Jones said. Ò We have 12 new faces in this locker room so it is great for them to experience this. So many little things add up and we can truly call this a team win.Ó Ò This absolutely is a dream come true,Ó Kyle Jones (two points, three rebounds) said. Ò To have been part of the starting rotation this year is an amazing feeling.Ó “The play was very intense,” Reynolds (two points, six rebounds, four assists) said. Ò Waterville is a really good, wellrounded team Ñ they play a great inside game Ñ and it was an honor to play them in the state championship.Ó Ò These kids played their hearts out Ñ they were over-matched physically, but they just ground it out,Ó White said. Mulraz finished with an assist for the Warriors. While the younger Jones had been an offensive force the night before in the Class C semifinals, it was his work on the other side of the ball which was a major contribution in the final game. Ò We stuck Kyle on (Jake English) after he came out hot to start the second half and, while he was not knocking down shots tonight, he was defending hard.Ó Jones said McGowan and Reynolds also had solid defensive efforts. Ò AndrewÕ s defense against (Hunter Williams) and rebounding was key,Ó he said. Ò Zeke guarding (Zach Sawyer) was key.Ó Ò Andrew did a tremendous job on the inside,Ó Wincowski said. Ò The coaching staff gave him a plan and he stuck to it.Ó Ò I like to be a big menace, to get the ball back, to give our team as many opportunities to score as possible,Ó Reynolds said. On the offensive side, It was HubbardÕ s night to hit a trio of key three-pointers in helping the Warriors to a win. “Throughout the season, Joel did a great job finding people,” Hubbard said. Ò We can just spot up and we know he is getting the ball to us if we are open.Ó Ò It was DylanÕ s night tonight,Ó coach Jones said. Ò It has been that way all year. Someone will step up when we need it. Dylan started the year injured, but heÕ s jumped out of the shadows Ñ heÕ s hit key three-pointers several times in the Sectional tournament.Ó After the game and celebration at the Civic Center, a Lake George fire truck manned with firefighters met the players’ bus at the outlet malls on Rte. 9 and escorted it back to the village. The bus stopped at the school, and the team was cheered by hundreds of students and other fans as they arrived.

Road to the finals: triples the key in victory against Haldane By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com GLENS FALLS Ñ It was a battle of outside v. inside when Lake George and Haldane met up in the semifinal round of the NYSPHSAA Class C championships Friday, March 20. The edge went to the downtowners, as the Warriors hit on 11 shots from beyond the arc to score a 70-60 win over the Blue Devils and advance to the Class C title game for the second time in three years. Ò We shot very well from beyond the arc and pushed the tempo,Ó senior point guard Joel Wincowski said. The Section II all-time leading scorer paced the offense not just with 21 points of his own, but was on the giving end of 10 assists which turned into 29 points from the hot hands of teammates. He added 10 rebounds to complete the coveted triple-double. He also had four steals. Ò I think we picked it up more in the second half,Ó Wincowski continued. Ò This is a tremendous win for the community and our team.Ó The main beneficiary of WincowskiÕ s generosity was guard Kyle Jones, who hit five of the teamÕ s 11 three-pointers and finished with 19 points and two assists, both on Wincowski threes. Ò Kyle and I are shooting partners in practice and when he gets on a roll, it is always going in. He found the open area and I was able to get him the ball with space to shoot,Ó Wincowski said. “I was feeling confident coming into the game, and shooters want to shoot,Ó Jones said. Ò It was amazing being able to be a starter and contribute to this team and go back to the title game.Ó Craig Keenan also was a major factor offensively, connecting on a trio of triples and scoring 18 points to go with five rebounds and one steal. Ò We have always had someone who steps up out of the shadows and helps us win games,Ó Warrior head coach David Jones said. Ò Joel is going to take what defenses give him, and that is what a good point guard should do. We have seen a lot of different defenses this season and had to adjust to all of them.Ó While the Warriors held a lead through the first half, it was the third quarter where they were able to stretch out the Blue Devils and force their tempo, outscoring Haldane 25-17. Ò We had a good pace in the second half until they started fouling us and making the game more physical, which they had to do,Ó Jones said. When Haldane fouled late, the Warriors capitalized making all three front ends of their bonus situations. Dylan Hubbard finished with six points and one assist for the Warriors, while Andrew McGowan and Zeke Reynolds each had three points, six rebounds and one steal (Reynolds added an assist). Dylan Smith also contributed with an assist. For Haldane, it was Edmund Fitzgerald setting the pace in a sinking effort for the Blue Devils, light-footing his way to 17 points and 12 rebounds, not enough to avoid the rocks of defeat on his teamÕ s voyage to Glens Falls. Peter Hoffman added 16 points and five rebounds, with Ryan McCollum scoring 12 points.

High-speed ‘White Space’ broadband debuts in Thurman By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com THURMAN Ñ A dozen households in rural Thurman that for years endured unreliable or ultra-slow access to the Internet, now have high-speed, non-throttled broadband as the townÕ s innovative Ò white spaceÓ broadcast service was launched recently. A number of Thurman residents reported this week that they are pleased with their new broadband access, provided by the townÕ s long-awaited white space project that calls for connecting up to 90 households in its first phase. White-space broadband involves broadcasting data signals over unused electromagnetic frequencies between old analog television channels. The technology has been implemented successfully in Europe. The public-private partnership, supported by a $200,000 state grant, has received national attention as a way to bring affordable, reliable Internet access to rural, sparsely settled communities across the nation. The Thurman households now connected to white space broadband are located on South Johnsburg and Valley roads. The 12 subscribing households, connected several weeks ago, are paying $50 per month for the service, plus an up-front equipment charge of $292.
Speed, reliability ‘truly amazing’
John Schroeter of Kenyontown is one of the new subscribers. For nearly 15 years, heÕ s endured dial-up service, which is one tiny fraction the speed of modern broadband. Ò The white space service is truly amazing,Ó he said, noting that he uses the Internet a lot for genealogical research. Ò I can go from one web page to another without waiting forever,Ó he said noting that often web pages would fail to load, even after hours of waiting. Ò I can accomplish what would have been days of research in only an hour, right at home without traveling 15 miles.Ó Subscriptions to the white space service costs $50 per month, about one-third less than satellite broadcast, which is deemed unreliable and restrictive by many of its local subscribers. Slower DSL is the only other broadband service locally, and itÕ s aailable only for several dozen homes near the townÕ s largest hamlet, Athol. Satellite service involves data caps, unwelcome throttling, and slow uploading speeds. It is estimated that three-quarters of the townÕ s 400 households now have no practical Internet connection Ñ they are far beyond the reach of DSL or cable.
Network considered a boost to business
Sheila Flanagan, proprietor of nationally renowned Nettle Meadow Farm, said Tuesday that the new white space broadband service is making a significant impact on marketing and managing their gourmet cheese business. Ò ItÕ s really two different worlds between dialup and white space,Ó she said. Ò When it used to take hours to download a few labels for shipping, now takes seconds or a few minutes at most.Ó On dialup, She used to leave the computer overnight to let it download shipping documents, and the excruciatingly slow data transmission restricted the growth of their business, she said. She and Lorraine Lambiase had subscribed to two satellite services for a time, but she said one was Ò an utter failureÓ and the other was “extremely unpredictable,” leaving them without Internet access for days at a time. Ò Satellite, when it was working, was not anywhere near as fast, either,Ó she said. Ò I cannot say enough good things about white space service,Ó she said, noting that it will allow her business and others in Thurman to grow. Gary Martin of Martin Lumber on Valley Road said his new white space hookup has made a substantial difference for his business as well as life at home. He said his broadband service now exceeds what is generally available even in metropolitan areas.

Ò Not only are we hooked up, but we are hooked!Ó he said, noting he and his wife Wini Martin not only replaced their prior satellite Internet subscription, but their television service via satellite. Ò We get everything through the white space broadband,Ó he said. Ò Before, when we downloaded online video, the Internet access would slow down so much at times we couldnÕ t even get e-mail.Ó Now, with wifi-connected television, they can stream a variety of videos, programs and movies that fill their wide screen television in high definition, Martin said. Ò White space is saving us $90 per month, and itÕ s far faster than satellite ever was,Ó he said. Wini Martin said that people in their household can now simultaneously use smartphones, tablets, and computers. She regularly updates Facebook postings for town events, like Maple Days. She also works on web pages to market her crafts and the family sawmill. Ò This white space is absolutely awesome Ñ itÕ s everything we thought it would be,Ó she said. Ò On satellite, uploads and downloads were so painfully slow, we gave up even trying to watch videos.Ó Many of the new white space subscribers praised Fred Engelmann of Rainmaker Network Services in Chestertown, who designed the town’s broadcast network, for fine-tuning each installation for maximum performance. The system has been in development for a long time.
Broadband delayed by opponents
About four years ago, Engelmann and Ava Ashendorff of Brant Lake originally proposed the white-space technology to town supervisor Evelyn Wood who had sought to extend broad-
Krystal Chrysler earns customer service award One of 11 dealerships in state to earn the distinction
WARRENSBURG Ñ Krystal Chrysler Jeep Dodge has won a top customer service award from its franchisor, Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles Corp. The staff at Krystal Chrysler was notified Feb. 27 that it won the automaker’s 2014 Customer Experience Elite award that is presented to the dealerships that provide exceptional service in sales, maintenance and repairs, as well as through its parts department. The award letter, signed by top Chrysler executives, read that Krystal staff had Ò consistently performed at the very highest levelsÓ of customer service. The award is granted to a limited number of dealerships nationwide. Krystal ChryslerÕ s general manager Frank Toti said Tuesday that only 11 dealerships in New York State won the award, and Krystal was the only one to do so in the Capital Region northward into the lower Adirondacks and through Plattsburgh. Ò WeÕ re very proud of the effort that our employees put into their work,Ó Toti said, noting that much of KrystalÕ s business is prompted by customer referrals. Ò Our staff works hard at customer satisfaction and it pays off in the long run.Ó Steven Lofgren owns the Krystal dealership that is known to provide efficient, friendly service at reasonable prices, as well as helping people obtain vehicles that fit their lifestyles. Ò Your dealership has displayed an outstanding commitment to world-class customer experience,” the award letter read.

band to her townÕ s residents. Wood subsequently championed the idea and successfully lobbied for a state grant to help bankroll the service. Wood also fought political opposition in establishing the public-private broadcast service, battling a number of local citizens who were determined to scuttle the project Ñ they claimed white space was an unproven technology that wouldnÕ t work, it was too expensive, or there were better solutions. Their opposition delayed the deployment of the broadcast system. Thurman Town Supervisor Evelyn Wood downplayed the past opposition, which was at times erupted in heated conflict at public meetings. Ò It was not an easy process, but it was worth it,Ó she said. Ò Anytime you do something new, there can be fears and concerns Ñ But now weÕ ve achieved a tremendous boon for people in our town.Ó
White space system to be expanded
Wood said that extending the broadcast network down Valley, Garnet Lake and Glen-Athol roads were the next expansion objectives for the broadband system Ñ which she said sheÕ ll be seeking to extend throughout Thurman. Englemann said this week that the delay in the project had a silver lining Ñ the technology of the antennas and signal processors were significantly better than those available several years ago. He also praised National Grid for setting poles on short notice, Frontier Communications for their cooperation, and employees of Viking Electric of Schroon Lake for working on weekends and holidays to get the system hooked up. WeÕ re off to a good start Ñ Finally,Ó Engelmann said.

Former federal prosecutor recalls fall from grace, redemption Memoir: McKenna’s “Sheer Madness” By Pete DeMola
pete@denpubs.com ALBANY — It all started with a Rolex. Andrew McKenna was riding high in Houston after a bust took down dozens of defendants on drugs, weapons and conspiracy charges. In the afterglow, the federal prosecutor nicked a watch from evidence, an impulsive act that pulled the string on a madcap dash into the bowels of addiction. Fueled by a tidal wave of narcotics and booze, the wunderkind eventually resorted to robbing a half-dozen upstate banks in a scuzzed-out green truck given to him by a former Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor. Ò Something told me this would be the end of the line,Ó he wrote, recalling the final robbery. “I was powerless. I was dead.” Shortly afterwards, McKenna found himself with his cheek pressed against the asphalt, sucking in the fumes of motor oil. He served five years in the clank. ItÕ s all chronicled in his new memoir, Ò Sheer Madness,Ó a taut tale of addiction laced with equal parts self-deprecation and acerbic wit. About a decade after the events of the book, things are going well for McKenna, who is 46. Ò Five years certainly gives you a long time to reset,Ó he told the Valley News. The memoir grew from the advice of his prison shrink, who said writing might act as a much-needed escape valve for errant thoughts. Journaling turned to short stories centered around his military training and family court difficulties, the nucleus of what became the first part of this gripping memoir. McKenna showed the drafts to pals, who encouraged him to write a book. Ò It was eye-opening to people who havenÕ t been in those situations,Ó he said. And not many have. Ò Sheer MadnessÓ chronicles the rise of a smart-ass kid from suburbia to the corridors of power in Washington, D.C. Following the watch incident, McKenna resigned from the justice department and moved with his young family back to upstate New York, where he took a job in the private sector. “I would sit in my private practice office and pretend that what I was doing was as good as my old job in Washington,Ó he

wrote. Ò My self-loathing at this point was palpable.Ó That gig often descended into moments of farce, like when McKenna resorted to pilfering pills from a client who tripped over a pallet of dog food at a pet store. McKenna sized up the womanÕ s freezer bag of prescription pills Ñ Ò I am troubled by thisÓ Ñ before taking them and making a beeline to the bathroom under the auspices of Ò making photocopies.Ó Ò It sounds like IÕ m a sales rep for Tic-Tacs, not a lawyer,Ó he wrote. Ò I try to glide as I walk instead of step, hoping this would make less sound. I looked ridiculous.Ó But it wasnÕ t this ennui, or the drug abuse, that led McKenna to his eventual transformation from a high-powered lawyer into a greasy schnook passing grubby notes to terrified bank tellers. Ò I didnÕ t rob banks to get money for heroin,Ó he said. Ò It happened because of the repeated losses in family court.Ó In the book, McKenna traced the birth and death of the relationship with the mother of his children. Although heÕ d gotten himself cleaned up, the judge wouldnÕ t give McKenna time with his two sons, referring to him as a Ò junkie.Ó
Ò That sunk me into the deepest depression that IÕ d ever been in,Ó he recalled. Ò It was more about the anger, frustration and sadness of not getting to see my boys Ñ it was almost Kafkaesque. I was doing everything he wanted me to do, but I wasnÕ t getting any relief.Ó Now, with a decade of sobriety under his belt, part of his recovery includes speaking to students on the insidiousness of heroin abuse. Kids with depression and anxiety, in particular, are at risk for opiate abuse, he said, and that’s one of the factors school officials are examining as they move forward with combatting what has become a national plague Ñ including the North Country. Three factors can prevent full-blown addiction, he said. Age of onset, frequency of use and potency. The message, he said, is to get to kids as early as possible. Heroin and prescription drugs are everywhere. Doctors are under little pressure to counsel rather than prescribe quick pharmaceutical fixes, he said, a measure that needs to be reversed. Ò Nurses, doctors, teachers, professionals Ñ anybody can fall prey to it,Ó said McKenna. Ò ItÕ s no longer viewed as a scumbag drug anymore. ItÕ s now just viewed as destroying peoplesÕ lives.Ó In addition to the advocacy work, McKenna now works as a consultant providing advice to attorneys on what their clients can expect when entering the criminal justice system, including what programs are available to them, what their families go through during their incarceration and a checklist for survival and post-release. After all, heÕ s been there, from federal prosecutor to federal prisoner. He plans on regaining his law license within the next two years. But for now, life is good: McKenna has contact with his two sons Ñ Ò TheyÕ re great kids, totally well-adjustedÓ Ñ and does work for Albany attorney James E. Long, Ò who is probably the premier defense attorney that IÕ ve ever worked with.Ó Early sales of the book have been brisk, he said, and heÕ s working on a less-salty student edition for possible inclusion on high school curriculums. “It’s been a huge learning experience,” he said. Ò Sheer MadnessÓ by Andrew McKenna is available on Amazon; Bookstore Plus in Lake Placid and various booksellers in the Capital District, including the Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza, Market Block Books in Troy and the Open Door Book Store in Schenectady.
