BOLTON Ñ Planned repairs to a leaking water main has prompted a boil-water order beginning early morning Monday, April 6 for all Bolton residents served by the town water system.

After dawn Monday, Town employees are to start working on a 12-inch water pipe along Finkle Road, a main line that delivers water from the town reservoir and water plant to the water system.

They workers will be replacing a section of the pipe that has been leaking a substantial amount of water this week.

During the repairs, a bypass connection will be made — several firehoses are to be hooked together, connecting hydrants on either side of the leaking portion of the water main.

Finkle Road between the transfer station and Valley Woods Road will be closed CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

Westcott

From page 1 GibsonÕ s campaign in the Glens Falls region.

Hours after Gibson announced in early January he was stepping down, he said in an interview that he was considering running for a statewide office, mentioning the Governor’s post, the New York Daily News reported.

Westcott confirmed last week that he was going to be working on efforts that would require travel statewide, and that heÕ ll be continuing to work as senior strategic advisor to clients of Behan Communications of Glens Falls. Ò I will be working on both business and political initiatives,Ó Westcott said, declining to specify whether it involved a Gibson candidacy for governor. Ò A lot of what IÕ m working on is still confidential.”

Westcott continued his thoughts. Ò Chris Gibson is a remarkable human being,Ó he said. Ò I would walk through walls for Chris. ThereÕ s no one who works harder for his constituents than Chris Ñ heÕ s very intelligent, heÕ s dedicated, and he has a strong work ethic. If he decides to run for office, I will always be there for him.”

When Westcott was first elected as a supervisor-at-large representing Queensbury, he received the highest vote tally among all candidates. In his most recent election, he received the second highest vote.

Political observers have recognized his ability to both organize campaigns and galvanize public opinion, noting he could motivate hundreds of people to gather to debate public issues like no other individual has done in the countyÕ s recent history.

to traffic until the repairs are complete — which is an undetermined length of time Ñ and until further notice, residents are not to drink the water without first boiling it.

The length of the section of iron pipe to be replaced is also unknown at this time, Bolton Town Supervisor Ron Conover said Tuesday night. He said the week of April 6 was chosen for the repair work because The Sagamore Resort is closed and Bolton Central School students are on spring vacation. Ò This could involve replacing several hundred feet of pipe,Ó he said, noting that the water from the main has been emanating from the ground along Finkle Road. He said that the pipe has incurred several breaks in it recently, prompting some temporary patching repairs.

The pipe is probably developed leaks because it wasnÕ t buried deep enough, and the frequent freeze-thaw cycles caused the ground to heave, rupturing it, Conover said, adding that the existing water main lies about three and a half feet below ground.

Published by Denton Publications, Inc. Mark noted that he was proud of his work towards government Ò transparency,Ó noting that he had campaigned for advance dissemination of materials prior to public meetings, as well as sending out his lengthy detailed newsletters on political developments to thousands of area citizens. He also held a variety of night public meetings that attracted large crowds.

His efforts at times have irritated some county leaders, as most of the meetings focused on debating issues that the county had already voted on and approved. He has defended his actions as sparking public involvement and boosting citizensÕ education on the issues.

Mark also said he was proud of organizing a large public rally in 2012 at the Capital building in Albany calling for relief from unfunded mandates. This Mayday for Mandate Relief is now an annual event.

March 25, the Warren County Republican Committee had scheduled a caucus to review and endorse candidates for the supervisor-at-large position that Westcott is vacating, county Board of Supervisors Chairman Kevin Geraghty said. Those expressing interest in the seat are former at-large supervisor Ron Montesi, retired teacher and county employee Dan Kane, as well as current supervisors-at-large Rachel Seeber, Matt Sokol and Doug Beaty. All but Beaty, who also has challenged prevailing viewpoints on some county issues, were endorsed. Beaty has said he will indeed be a candidate in the Republican Primary for his atlarge seat on the Warren County Board of Supervisors.

Westcott said that although his Ò business and political initiatives” remained confidential now, they’d likely be revealed before long. Ò In two to three months, itÕ s all likely to be clear,Ó he said.

Or, vibrations from heavy trucks passing by could have caused the damage, he added.

The replacement pipe may be buried deeper, with a thicker bed of gravel underneath, Conover continued. Ò Our engineers will be evaluating the situation,Ó he said, noting that a new additional hydrant is likely to be installed along Finkle Road during the repair effort.

BoltonÕ s municipal water system serves several hundred homes and businesses, primarily in the Bolton Landing hamlet.

The water district extends north on state Rte. 9 about a mile in the vicinity of Darrin Freshwater Institute, south on the roadway to the Bolton Cemetery and west to the Edgecomb Pond area.

The firehose bypass is to be used so people can continue to wash clothes, flush toilets and take showers and experience the least inconvenience, Conover said.

Traffic on the section of Finkle Road to be closed will be diverted onto Horicon, Valley Woods and Federal Hill roads during the repairs, Conover said. Ò ThereÕ s never a dull moment in Bolton Landing,Ó he said.

Railway losing $1 million+, seeks grant to boost freight runs Firm eyes sale of track, rail bed between North Creek and Tahawus

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ The Saratoga & North Creek Railway is operating at a deficit of at least $1 million per year and is now seeking governmental financial help so their operation is sustainable.

David Simpson, senior executive of Iowa Pacific Holdings, asked Warren County Supervisors Monday for their support in seeking up to $5 million in federal and state funds for improvement of track that the railway operator owns between North Creek and Tahawus. The improvements are primarily to accommodate freight hauling. Ò We need a different capitalization structure,Ó Simpson said to the supervisors as he asked for their support in lobbying for the money. Simpson, who is Government Affairs and Strategic Initiatives director for Iowa Pacific, said his firm was experiencing “seven-figure lossesÓ in the railway operation.

The track upgrades, Simpson said, were necessary to haul large amounts of gravel and other materials Ñ freight which would help make the railway operation sustainable in future years.

Later in a talk with reporters, Simpson revealed that his firm would like to sell this 29.7mile stretch, which it purchased in 2011, either to Warren County or a public railway authority.

He said the railroad tracks were worth $1.5 million.

The southern portion of the railroad, which carries passengers, is now publicly owned Ñ the rail bed and track from Corinth to North Creek is owned by Warren County, and the stretch from Corinth to Saratoga Springs is owned by the town of Corinth.

Simpson said that making regular freight runs Ñ for which upgrades were necessary, would make the railway a financially viable operation in future years. He said that passenger service was rarely profitable for railway operations in the U.S. Simpson said that $5 million in rail upgrades in the North Creek-Tahawus stretch were needed to handle freight runs carrying high-grade gravel from the site of the former NL Industries in Tahawus. The money would be spent on improving rail crossings, reballasting ties and replacing rails so they could efficiently move 1.5 million to 2 million tons of gravel south to the Port of Albany in Rensselaer. Simpson said that there was enough gravel in Tahawus to keep the

Passenger service on the Saratoga-North Creek Railway may be extended to Tahawus if $5 million is secured for track upgrades, an executive of the operation’s parent company told Warren County Supervisors March 30. The firm is seeking the grant funding so the 29.7-mile spur can handle more freight traffic. Photo by Greg Klingler railroad busy transporting it for 20 years.

He said that Iowa Pacific had already spent $500,000 to clear trees from the northern portion of the rail bed, which had been idle for three decades before they bought it.

Simpson also spoke about how political help was needed in convincing the large rail companies to allow them to move the material, for a reasonable fee, along track from Saratoga Springs to the Rensselaer, where it is to be loaded onto barges headed for downstate New York.

Simpson suggested that a state economic development grant could provide the $5 million needed, but applying for the grant could be problematic because Iowa Pacific’s Tahawus rail line runs through three counties Ñ over

several state economic development zones.

Simpson said that upgrading the track from North Creek to Tahawus would also be useful for accommodating tourist trains that could transport hikers to various trailheads and other recreational pursuits aligned with Warren CountyÕ s First Wilderness Corridor initiative.

Saratoga-North Creek Railway is contracted, through June 2016, to operate trains on the tracks. Simpson said he wasnÕ t seeking any

renegotiation of the contract, but Iowa Pacific might seek some Ò tweakingÓ of the deal.

Warren County Board of Supervisors Chairman Kevin Geraghty said that the county hadnÕ t yet been considering buying the NorthCreek-Tahawus rail spur, but it would continue to lobby on behalf of the railroad, as it has in the past. Ò WeÕ ll be supporting them on getting freight traffic moving,” he said.

Lake George Town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson agreed. Ò The railway is a great asset,Ó he said.

In other railway-related news, Simpson reported that plans to haul low-level radioactive waste from Corinth to Saratoga Springs were stalled because the contractor shipping the waste to Texas was now considering alternative options.

Saratoga-North Creek Railway General Manager Justin Gonyo provided cheerier news. He said that two of the railwayÕ s coach cars were being upgraded with new interiors. Both would have new furnishings and upholstery, while one of the two would be outfitted with a cafe.

Gonyo said the train service would begin its summer season April 23, but the railway was also offering an Easter Brunch trip on Sunday April 5. This special round-trip excursion from Saratoga to North Creek lasts three hours.

He also noted that the railway was hosting a special trip on April 23 to introduce tour operators from as far away as Belgium to the passenger service.

Adirondack Journal Editorial

State should charge for rescue operations

W

eÕ ve all heard the warnings from state environmental personnel and local search and rescue officials: Be prepared when entering the backcountry or potentially face dire consequences that could turn an enjoyable trek into a life or death experience.

Two recent search and rescue occurrences on Mt. Marcy this winter drive home the importance of being prepared.

The first scenario on the state’s highest peak (5,343 feet) occurred in January when two young Canadian hikers became disoriented near the summit and spent the night in sub-zero temperatures.

The second happened just a few weeks ago when a mother and her two sons, ages 7 and 11, lost sight of the trail atop Mt. Marcy and also spent a night amid frigid temps and high winds.

In each case, the individuals were rescued by members of the state Department of Environmental Conservation and state police.

While we are lucky to have such highly skilled search and rescue personnel in New York and the Adirondacks, these cases should without doubt reopen the dialogue around just who should foot the bill for these operations, especially when negligence is involved.

We believe the cost should be born by those who do not heed the warnings to be prepared Ñ most notably in extreme climate conditions like those that occur in the winter.

The price of a typical search and rescue operation can be staggering Ñ running into the tens of thousands depending on what is involved in the rescue and the duration of the search. Consider that operating a single rescue helicopter costs about $2,000 an hour and you begin to understand how quickly costs can mount.

At the same time, those that partake in these operations are putting their own lives on the line. The State Police Aviation Unit that responded to both of the aforementioned incidents faced high wind and poor visibility.

That can certainly be a recipe for disaster.

Those that negligently put themselves and others in harmÕ s way by not knowing the terrain and conditions, taking adequate gear, leaving an itinerary or turning back when the conditions warrant it should pick up the tab for their rescue Ñ and they should be happy to do it.

Doing so may just serve as a deterrent to individuals before heading haphazardly into the wilderness unprepared.

The concept of charging for search and rescue operations is not a new one.

A handful of states, including nearby Vermont and New Hampshire, currently have laws that allow a state or county to recoup costs of rescue operations.

After being on the books for nearly a decade, New Hampshire later amended its law, charging only in cases where the victim was determined to have been Ò negligent.” Experienced search and rescue officials and fish and game staff in New Hampshire determine negligence based on a responsibility code that considers a personÕ s actions against what reasonable measures could have been taken to avoid a rescue situation.

Then, the attorney general’s office gets the final say, assessing a fee for the search and rescue that helps fund future rescue operations, training and equipment as well as efforts to educate the public about being prepared before setting out.

Given the rather frequent nature of search and rescue operations in the Adirondacks Ñ and in the wake of these two alarming rescue operations in as many months Ñ we believe it is time for New York legislators to proceed as New Hampshire has and hold those who are negligent responsible for their actions.

In the meantime, the DEC urges anyone heading into the backcountry to properly plan, prepare and remain alert to changing weather conditions. Before planning a hike, the public is urged to visit DECÕ s Hiking Safety webpage at dec.ny.gov/ outdoor/7865.html for current Adirondack trail conditions.

Those who become lost or encounter a backcountry emergency are encouraged to call the Forest Ranger Emergency Dispatch at 518-891-0235. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board, Dan Alexander, Keith Lobdell and John Gereau

Letters to the Editor

Relocation well Intentioned, bad idea

Community spirit abounds

To the Adirondack Journal: In August of 2014 I read the following prepared statement before the Ticonderoga Town Board, ÒM y name is Bill Barnhart. I reside at 49 Amherst Ave. My family and I have lived at this residence for the past 23 years. I would like to address the Board regarding the possible relocation of the police department from its current location to the armory outbuilding located almost directly across from my residence. I would also like to go on record that I am an ardent supporter of our police department, so I do not consider this to be a police department issue at all. In my former position I had frequent contact with the police and always found them to be both helpful and professional. I am also well aware of the situation with the current police building and financial constraints that the town is facing. As a taxpayer, I applaud the Boards efforts to keep taxes in check while providing exceptional services. As they say, no good deed goes unpunished.

I would also like to thank the supervisor and board members that I have talked with for their courtesy and professionalism. I know this is not an easy job and I thank you for your service. My concerns with locating the police station in the armory outbuilding are as follow: 1. Increased traffic, with schools located at both ends of the street, busses in the morning and afternoon, and at other times as well, do we really want our officers heading out on a call from this location? They could literally find themselves blocked on Amherst Ave., as a means of egress. Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings are especially worrisome as there are services at St. Mary’s which would most definitely block or hinder egress.

2. Increased noise level. This is mostly a very quiet residential area outside of the school bus periods. A very quiet street during the summer months. The current police station is in an area where this noise is minimized.

3. Safety concerns. There is a lot of vehicle traffic and foot traffic at the armory,especially during the school year. Egress onto both Amherst and Champlain could be very dangerous as children walk to the armory for after school programs. There are some very tight turns coming out of that location especially as you egress towards Champlain Ave. Another concern is resident safety, has a detainee ever escaped from the station? Would we want this to occur in this area especially with the close proximity of the schools?

4. Decreased residential property values. I would demand a lowering of my assessment and I am sure others on Amherst and adjacent areas would demand the same. I have talked with several experts and they all agree that property values would decrease. Do we really want to shrink our tax base?

5. This is just not a good location. Do we really want our police department hidden away in a residential area? Ideally, I believe the police department should be in a highly visible area. We want visitors to our town to have quick and easy access to the police. We want people who need to talk to the police to have a location that they feel secure in, away from the general public. A residential area does not provide this. We want businesses to feel secure. Having the police hidden away in a residential area does not provide this.

I have always been told that I should not voice concerns without offering solutions. I am sure you have looked at some, if not all of these, but here we go anyway.

1. Do nothing. Although the current building is not ideal it is still a better option than moving it to a residential area.

2. Combine with other services, either the fire department, emergency services, or town highway department.

3. Look again at vacant locations in more viable locations such as the old Rite Aid building.

4. Seek funding through grants. As a former grant writer I would be happy to assist in any way possible.

In conclusion, I would like to thank you for giving me the time to voice my concerns. I am hoping that I will hear that you are moving in a new direction.

I had heard nothing until I saw last weeks article in The Times of Ti. I would have thought someone from the Board or the Supervisor would have reached out to me and the other concerned residents well before this.

Another concern that I did not mention is the Senior CitizenÕ s site. There are no parking spaces; you will see vehicles parked on the road, leaving very little room for other vehicles to pass through. Safety and liability concerns are real and evident. Please call/write and plan on attending the next Board Meeting to oppose this well intentioned but bad idea. Thank you for your support.

To the Adirondack Journal: Jason Kelley and I were recipients of a tremendous fundraising event Saturday, March 21, at the Minerva Firehouse. I canÕ t say enough for the outpouring of goodwill. Thanks, thanks, and thanks again to the organizers, volunteers, contributors (from everywhere), and those who came to the event and were so generous.

All of you represent community spirit at itÕ s best.

Thank you caring people heroes To the Adirondack Journal: This is an open letter to the Care Givers at the Elizabethtown Community Hospital. My good friend Ronald C. Robert died Sunday, March 1 and I would like to say Ò thank youÓ for the kindness you showed, especially at the Saratoga National Cemetery. IÕ m sorry I didnÕ t write your names down especially the young lady who was a pall bearer next to me.

I am very proud of all of you. Hopefully some time in the not so distant future, I will have loving caring people heroes like you by my side. May Jehovah look over you and keep you safe.

With my deepest thanks George W . Phillips Chestertown

Schools provide services To the Adirondack Journal: In your editorial of March 3, you chose to question if our local school districts are doing enough for their communities. I would have enjoyed your editorial more if you had researched and highlighted the many opportunities our local school districts and their employees provide for our communities.

Perhaps I misunderstood your intent when you said, Ò É it is time that school officials recognize that these buildings can be more than just places we educate our children.Ó Ò JustÓ seems a little dismissive when referring to the facilities where our children spend twelve years of their lives and receive the foundation of information and training that will take them to adulthood.

My real concern is that with a single phone call, or visit to the ElizabethtownÐ Lewis Central School website or those of any of the neighboring school districts, you could have obtain information regarding a number of activities that were open to the public: musicals, athletic competitions, academic presentations, and club and community events, including, but not limited to, scout meetings, walking clubs, 5K and 10K run registrations, and more. More importantly, you could have obtained a building use form, and applied to sponsor an event that would provide the community enrichment that was suggested in your editorial. Building use information and applications are readily available from all area school districts.

Another suggestion that you made was that school districts should consider budgeting for services and employees to support community based events. Community events and activities are supported by their local school districts with in-kind services whenever possible; bus transportation for summer youth programs, custodial support for meetings and events, etc. But, each school district has a budget and carefully balances their fuel costs, turning the heat down at night and during vacation periods, and carefully monitoring their custodial and maintenance costs, as well as covering the costs of their mandated responsibility Ð public education. NYS law regulates how tax payer financed public institutions may use their funds and facilities, and I am sure that you didnÕ t mean to encourage our local districts to violate our trust.

I hope that your editorial was intended as a journalistic Ò seedÓ to encourage all of us to make the most of our investments as tax payers in utilizing our school facilities to the best advantage, and I look forward to the next Valley News press release highlighting a Denton Publications sponsored concert, fundraiser, spelling bee, scrabble tournament, memoir writing club, etc.

Safety clarification needed To the Adirondack Journal: I enjoyed the Adirondack Outdoors article titled Ò Ice/cold water training in Bulwagga BayÓ , but it does contain an error, where it states Ò ...cold water isothermic temperatures, which maintains the water at 39.2 degrees under the ice, ...Ó . Water has a curious physical property that it is most dense at a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius (39.2 degrees F). In lakes that are deep enough and where there are no disruptive currents, after ice forms the water becomes density stratified.

Immediately beneath the ice, the water temperature is 32 degrees F, and the water becomes warmer at depth, reaching about 39.2 degrees F at around 40 feet, since the most dense water settles beneath the lighter, colder water.

In the spring after ice-out and after a warm calm day, the surface water is warmed and becomes more dense and settles, setting up a convection cell that brings water and stinking stuff from the bottom of a lake to the top. In the Adirondacks, we always called that the spring turn-over of a lake. I was a Special Scientist/Numbered Air Force Project Officer when on active duty in the USAF back in the late 1960Õ s and was in charge of a C-130 outfitted for remote sensing research. I had the airplane fly a night mission using thermal infrared imagery over the Adirondacks one May around 1969 or 1970. The flight coincided with the spring turn-over, and the imagery showed the convection cells clearly. The following winter I plumbed a number of the lakes and ponds and found that the convection cells only existed where there was at least 40 feet of water.

But the bottom line here is that immediately beneath the ice on a frozen lake, the water temperature is 32 degrees F and not 39.2 degrees. Thermodynamics require this conclusion as well.

Good Friday

I

s Good Friday good? No doubt that question has never crossed your mind. My mind? LetÕ s just say itÕ s different from most. You might even day itÕ s a bubble off plumb. But things that puzzle me, are often mundane to others. So be it.

Many of you know IÕ m the son of a preacher man. I was brought up attending church several times a week and was exposed to things theological from the time of my first breath.

Rev. Russell Little and my mother, the late Alta Grace Little, were immersed in their faith and tasked

by Gordie Little with spreading the word. They were good at it.

Little did they guess that their errant son Gordie would become Catholic when he married Kaye on May 4, 1974. The fact is, I am a much better Catholic than I was a Protestant. Being a good person is, for me, far more important than any dogma coming down from a church pulpit.

Sunday is special to me. Kaye and I enjoy the feeling we get inside our church. It enables us to focus on the things for which we are grateful and to offer up our fervent prayers for those who are part of our intentions.

As a young lad sitting in the front pew of my dadÕ s church, drawing pictures of WW II airplanes in the fly leaf of a hymnal, I developed an almost genetic understanding of the scriptures. The Passion of Good Friday left a lifelong impression on me. Listening to my fatherÕ s bombastic voice with no electronic amplification, I was moved by his rendition of ChristÕ s words on the cross.

It was frightening to me, as I could see and hear with my mindÕ s eye, that His moment of death seemed so final. But, as I grew older, Good Friday moved into context and I knew that Easter with its figurative and hopefully, literal sunshine would soon be here. Was Good Friday good for Little Gordie Little? Not at all, until I could grasp its true meaning and the promise of the resurrection and everlasting life.

For many years on the radio, we suspended normal programming on Good Friday afternoon and played appropriate somber music. Many area businesses closed for a time so shoppers and employees could attend church and note the import of the day.

If you expected me to offer the definitive word on why we call it Ò GoodÓ Friday,Ó you anticipated more than I can deliver. IÕ ve done the research, though, and can draw my own conclusions. Is it good because we believe that this time allows us to celebrate Easter as the culmination of perhaps the most crucial part of our beliefs? Is it because the word Ò goodÓ evolved from the word Ò God.Ó Or, could it have come from an earlier meaning of Ò holy?Ó It certainly is holy and, for me, is good because of its real meaning.

IÕ ll leave it for you to decide. Incidentally, some Biblical scholars argue that it was at 3 p.m. Wednesday, not Friday, when Jesus was crucified. They say he was in the tomb for three days and three nights, so the actual resurrection didnÕ t take place at sunrise on a Sunday. While the controversy continues, none of this taints my view of Holy Week culminating in Good Friday and Easter. It doesnÕ t matter to me whether the actual day of crucifixion was Wednesday or Friday. IÕ ll join others in the accepted Friday commemoration. I am just thrilled to believe in the miracle of Easter and all that it implies.

Excuse me while I close my eyes and recall my late fatherÕ s Good Friday reading of the scripture. For me it will be a holy Friday and a good Easter as well.

And please donÕ t ask me to tell you why we call the day before Good Friday, Maundy Thursday. Just take my word for the fact that is has something to do with the Last Supper in the Upper Room when Jesus said, Ò A new commandment I give you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.Ó Words to live by.

Officials say Lake George skate park to open this summer Possible conclusion to a seven-year attempt to bring park to area

In an interview, Cavone emphasized the peace of mind the park will afford area parents with children who are interested in skateboarding. Ò Parents are going to be able to bring their kids to the skate park and know they will be safe,Ó he said. Ò ItÕ s a controlled environment Ñ theyÕ re not going to get hit by a car, theyÕ re not going to get arrested.Ó Ò The tennis players have a tennis court, the basketball players have a basketball court, the football players have a football field. The skateboarders need a skate park,Ó he said.

ryan@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ YouÕ ve heard this one before.

This time, however, town officials say that after a seven-year struggle, what began as a dream shared by a group of local teenagers is set to become reality.

On March 16, based on the recommendation of Elan Planning in Saratoga, the board passed a resolution to award the construction bid for the skate park to WM. J. Keller and Sons Construction Corporation out of Castleton, NY. The Ò Lake George Skate PlazaÓ will be constructed in the Charles R. Wood Park in the south end of the village on West Brook Road.

The park will be open during the daylight hours and will require no entry fee to use.

The village hopes to host tournaments and regional competitions in the park, as well as potentially offering rental equipment and a snack bar on site.

Construction is set to begin when the snow melts, and will be broken into two phases: Phase one is the skate plazaÑ a street park partially designed by the skaters consisting of staircases, handrails and cement banks.

Phase two will feature a cement skate-bowl, for which funding is still needed.

BACK TO THE BEGINNING Skateboarding is a sport that requires obstacles, and in the absence of provided obstacles, skaters are left to either find their own or to give up on their passion.

The Lake George skate park project began in fall 2008, when the former option resulted in a series of arrests, citations and equipment confiscation for local skaters.

In response, a group of teenagers in the Act for Youth group resolved to create their own option and make a difference in their community Ñ to provide a place where skaters could practice their sport without punishment.

But they couldnÕ t do it alone, and community activist Patricia Dow answered the call to serve as a bridge between the teens and the town. Ò I couldnÕ t just sit there as an adult in the community and do nothing,Ó she said in an interview.

She and the group began to formulate a plan to build a park in the village with Mayor Blais, who has remained in their corner through all of the campaignÕ s ups and downs. Ò The mayor has played such a big part in the success of the whole thing,Ó Dow said.

Over the next few years, the teens grew from

dreamers to community activists, raising funds through special events including raffles, concerts, art shows, spaghetti dinners and coin drops on Canada Street.

Between these projects, the Walter Marinelli Memorial Golf Tournament, private donations, and contributions from village officials and the town of Lake George, the group met their funding goal in 2013.

But, for what Dow called Ò reasons beyond anyoneÕ s control,Ó the park could not be built in 2013.

Or in 2014.

Finally, it appears that 2015 will be the big year.

SKATERS SPEAK Doug Quimby, 19, has been involved in the project since he was in seventh grade. He graduated from Lake George High School last year. Ò We are a little hesitant,Ó he said in an interview. Ò Every year we get our hopes up, and we end up getting let down. If it doesnÕ t happen this year, I donÕ t think it will ever happen.Ó While he may be hesitant, he is proud of how far he and the others have come since the project began, noting that he and his friends are not the first group of skaters to try to bring a skate park to the village, but will be the first to succeed. Ò Skaters from the previous generations have always said, Ô ItÕ ll never happen,Õ Ó he said. Ò IÕ m really excited that weÕ re the generation that actually did it.Ó The park will not only benefit area skaters, he said, but it will serve as a tourist attraction

that will boost the local economy as well.

Quimby recalled numerous occasions in which visitors to the area asked him where they could find the good skate spots, or if they could do a trick on his board.

“When I go on vacation, the first thing I look up in a town is if they have a skate park,Ó he said.

He suggested that a skater-friendly village will attract a new tourist demographic to the area, which means an increase in revenue for the townÕ s most lucrative industry. Ò If this town gets a skate park, there will be more business opportunities,Ó he added.

According to Quimby, the town has already missed out on at least one opportunity, when a business owner proposed the idea of a skate/ wake shop to accompany the park, but got cold feet when the project was continually protracted.

LGHS graduate Frankie Cavone, now 21 and a junior at SUNY Plattsburgh, has been a central proponent of the campaign since day one.

Cavone flew to Los Angeles in 2012 to film an episode of Ò Judge Judy,Ó in which he and another skater were sued by a local business owner for allegedly damaging a picnic table during a skate session.

Cavone used the taping to plug the skate park project and to raise awareness for the plight of skateboarders who have nowhere to pursue their passion.

On the show, the business owner pledged to donate his inflated-for-television court award of $2,795 to the skate park fund.

The business owner declined to comment when the Adirondack Journal contacted him in September 2012 after the episode aired, by which time the donation had not been made.

The groupÕ s current mission is to raise funds for the second phase of the park.

Customizable bricks and pavers are currently available for purchase at the Village Hall, which will be placed along the walkways around the skate park by the village.

Larger items, such as commemorative benches, are also available for sale at the Village Hall.

Raffle tickets will be available from Aug. 1721. Prizes include a weekend at a local hotel, dinner at a local restaurant and a boat cruise on Lake George.

On Aug. 9, a benefit concert will be held at the Charles R. Wood Park festival grounds from 6 p.m to 8 p.m., featuring CavoneÕ s band Break the Step. Other acts are TBA. Custom painted skate decks are scheduled to go on sale, which will be displayed in local shops.

While the progress made this month has been a monumental leap forward for the campaign, there is still plenty of work to be done.

As always, Cavone, Quimby and the rest of the group are prepared to meet the challenge head-on. Ò ThatÕ s what matters: that we keep pushing forward, we keep our heads up and we move along,Ó Cavone said.

Doug Quimby and Frankie Cavone, then 15 and 17, stand in front of their sign in Shepard Park in 2011, marking their fundraising progress.

Thurman native Corey Pitkin’s art exhibited in Capital Region

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com SCHENECTADY Ñ The artwork of Corey Pitkin, who grew up in Thurman, is being increasingly appreciated by collectors and exhibitors regionally.

Hundreds of people attended an exhibit in March at the Schenectady Unitarian Universalist Society that featured 24 of PitkinÕ s oil paintings, charcoal and pastel drawings Ñ primarily moody, insightful portraits, for which he is gaining notoriety.

His work was on exhibit in the Ò LiltingÓ show at the Unitarian Society along with the paintings of two other artists, Bev Bondley and Karen Cooper. It was the most comprehensive exhibit of his work to date.

This month, PitkinÕ s work will be exhibited in the Canajoharie Library. The exhibit, also featuring work by Chris Averill-Green and Carol Caruso, will be on display from Friday, April 24 to July 1. The three were chosen for the exhibit from the roster of artists featured in the library’s 2014 Annual Juried Art Show.

Pitkin, a 1996 graduate of Warrensburg High

School, is the son of Red and Debbie Pitkin, residents of Thurman. Red Pitkin is a former Thurman town supervisor.

Pitkin’s portraits reflect the style, mood and technique of the Old Masters Ñ but with a contemporary sensibility and forthright spontaneity.

At the Schenectady exhibit, Pitkin was asked about how he is able, through his paintings, to convey insights into his subjectsÕ character Ñ and he offered his thoughts. Ò I try to empathize with whomever or whatever I paint or draw, and I believe thatÕ s the unifying element of my work,Ó he said.

Pitkin has won several awards in prestigious competitions, most recently the Outstanding Portrait award in the Northeast National Pastel Exhibition, as well as the Pastel Society of AmericaÕ s Enduring Brilliance Annual Exhibit.

He regularly conducts workshops throughout the Capital Region in portraiture and painting technique, and is sought after to create commissioned portraits.

His next portrait workshop is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 4 at the Shirt Factory artists complex on Lawrence St.

Opening day for trout and April Fools

R

Black smoke and orange flame PUEBLO COLORADO — Over 80 Fire fighters from both the United States and Canada trained for crude oil fires involving railroads at the Security and Emergency Response Training Center (SERTC) in Pueblo Colorado recently. Canadian Pacific Railroad sponsors and pays for the on-going training, to allow fire fighters to get hands on, real life training under simulated and safe, crude oil fire conditions.

The three day training starts with the history of some previous railroad accidents involving fires, such as the ones in Lac-Megantic, Quebec Canada, Aliceville Alabama and Casselton North Dakota. These accidents were reviewed and analyzed as educational tools to show what can happen. We all learn from mistakes.

The first day and a half of class room instruction involves the initial safety training. Personal protective equipment (PPE) including steel toe boots and leather gloves are required to be worn when in the field. During a fire training exercise, bunker gear and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) are required.

From fuel oil chemistry to fire suppression, safety involving each of the topics was highly stressed. Knowledge of fuel vapors and inhalation hazards with crude oil, such as hydrogen sulfide are critical skills.

Specific density and vapor pressure of fuels are taught because the oil can either float or sink in water, and vapors can rise or settle in the atmosphere. It makes a difference in how you handle the emergency.

Rail car design and construction was covered, involving the older general service heritage DOT-111 cars, and the newer updated CPC-1232 models. Improvements in car construction include larger pressure relief devices (PRD), thicker steel in head shields and protective structures around the PRDÕ S, vacuum relief valves and other fittings. Double shelf couplers, brake systems and other safety devices were also covered.

The use of Alcohol Resistant-Aqueous Film Forming Foam (ARAFFF) for extinguishment and vapor control are covered before any on site HOT ZONE training begins. Constant monitoring of the site is required for vapors and lower explosive limits (LEL).

Fire fighter safety is always stressed and is the number one priority at the training facility.

Once the class room training ends, hands on, in the wreckage field, live fire training begins.

The training site has dozens of railcars of all types strewn around in a simulated rail accident. Rail cars are piled on top of each other, twisted and breeched. Rail road cars, with all the hardware such as the wheels and springs and truck components called Òj ewelryÓ t o the railroad, are cast about the site.

Using a combination of propane and crude oil for accelerants, fires are initially set under exacting conditions, using out of service rail cars. Both pools of oil and propane streams are used as ignition sources. SERTC trained staff, man valves to shut off the flow of fuels, in the event of an emergency while training. The initial fires start with a small pool under a railroad car.

When fuel is burning, depending on if a valve is leaking or if an up-right car is ruptured during a railroad accident, adding water to the mix causes what is termed slop-over. The oil and boiling water cause a pool to overflow, like a cooking pot on a stove. The hot flaming slop over, runs over the ground spreading like a burning blanket, covering anything in its way. The fire can spread out of control under this condition. Black smoke and orange flames everywhere!

The burning fuel then heats the steel of the railroad car during this process and this causes the oil inside the car and vapors to expand, which then causes the pressure relief device to actuate.

Once activated, a vapor is released which then catches fire causing a 40 foot or more pressurized flame.

Fire fighters are taught the “if and when’s and how’s”, to approach the burning conflagration and the proper use of water and foam. Risk versus Benefit!

Water is used to cool the cars first. Cooling of the cars is taught, before any foam is applied. Alcohol Resistant- Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AR-AFFF) is used to suppress vapors. Once the cars are cooled, foam can then be applied by various methods to form a blanket, which is then pushed into the fire with hose lines.

While training, for one burning car, 20 gallons of foam where applied and five hose lines were used to extinguish the one very small rail car fire. Man power including cooling teams, foam application teams, foam dispensing teams, runners and command involved a 20 firefighter team for the training.

By Rich Redman In a real life situation, the safety of the surrounding area and people needs to be considered first! Following an incident action plan, notifications need to be made, evacuation zones, traffic control, water sources, foam needs, and protecting the perimeter of the fire area all need to be considered and priorities made. In the event of an actual large fire, hundreds of responders including fire fighters, medical staff, police and DEC staff would be on hand.

Dozens of large containers of foam, along with thousands upon thousands of gallons of water could be needed, depending on the size of the incident.

Crude oil fires may not get extinguished until many hours after the initial fire. It may be safer in the long run to ALLOW the fire to burn down a tactic called, NON-INTERVENTION. This decision is made when supplies of water, foam and man power are limited, or if the fire is so intense, knock down is not feasible and there is an immediate threat to life. Risk versus Benefit.

Environmental concerns may be reduced by allowing the fuel to burn. Adding water may cause the fuel to flow into wetlands or lakes and cause more damage and a costlier clean-up. Diking and damming to control and direct flows or contain runoff and crude oil or fuel flows may be utilized. Containment areas may need to be excavated to collect the fuel.

Every situation is different and the call will be made when it happens in conjunction with the railroad, fire coordinators and fire departments, HAZMAT, DEC environmental staff and state authorities if possible, following an incident action plan (IAP).

PRE ÐPL ANNING by Local Emergency Planning Committees is a priority to evaluate access, exposures, water supplies, evacuation routes, shelters, utilities, scene control, mutual aid, ambulances and hospitals. The towns, county and state need to meet and establish actions that will be taken in the event of an accident.

Both short term and long term needs must be met.

You canÕ t plan after it happens. That is chaos.

The bottom line is when a rail road car with 30,000 gallons of fuel is in an accident, the energy and mass of the cars piling up could cause a rupture. A breech will allow product to spill out.

It may just be a pool of oil, or it could be a catastrophic fire. Fire impingement on neighboring cars or exposures leads to the rapid spread and potential conflagration.

Fire fighters train for such an event, and local governments need to pre plan. Training, drills and exercises are required to keep emergency responders sharp. A failure to plan is a plan to fail!

If you are not trained properly, you become a liability!

This Canadian Pacific Railroad crude oil fire training involved fire fighters from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, the Iroquois Nation, Missouri, Wisconsin, Minnesota and New York.

Local fire fighters attending the course included Frank Gilbo, Rob DeFelice and Phil Smith from the Port Henry fire Department and Jackie Grant, Brian Collupy and the author, representing the Essex County HAZMAT team. Fellow firefighters from Ballston Lake and Troy, NY were also there to learn.

It didnÕ t matter who you were or where you were from. We all worked as a team with the same goal; safety first, learn crude oil fire tactics and have some fun.

Pictured is the author, Rich Redman and Brian Collupy of the Essex County HAZMAT team at the Security and Emergency Response Training Center (SERTC) in Pueblo Colorado recently.

esearchers finally confirmed what most children already knew, which is the fact that outdoor recreation provides a variety of important benefits beyond the obvious fun and games.

According to recent national studies, outdoor play also positively affects a wide range of wellness dimensions including self image, nutritional, spiritual and intellectual health, enhanced social skills, self confidence and stress management opportunities.

While fun and games are certainly beneficial, it is also important to recognize the importance of playing safely in the outdoors, where weather conditions remain in a perpetual state of flux, and many other environmental factors are subject to rapid changes.

In the North Country, the danger of waterborne recreational activities are significantly amplified during the annual Spring thaw as ice is breaking up on the lakes and ponds, and rivers run high with snowmelt.

At such times, anglers must be extra cautious while wading, even in the most familiar surroundings. Stream banks and stream beds often change from one year to the next, to create log jams, Ô strainersÕ and deep holes.

ItÕ s wise to scout familiar rivers and streams from the banks before wading in. It is equally important to take frequent breaks and get out of the water to warm up.

Not only does cold water sap your strength, it affects balance, regardless of how sure-footed you may be.

When I am wading in the early days of the season, I always keep a thermos of hot coffee in my pack, and I stuff a few hand warmers in the toes of my waders.

Although the annual trout season opener arrived on April 1, it will likely be at least two or three weeks before thereÕ s any regular action on the local rivers and streams. It appears Ô ice outÕ will be similarly delayed on the lakes and ponds.

If you do feel a need to get out fishing, be sure to take all the proper precautions to protect yourself at all times. Even the strongest swimmers are at great risk in such cold, fast moving waters. On the rivers, be especially cautious around log jams and look out for undercut banks and loose rocks.

The best angling opportunities will be found at the base of rapids and waterfalls, or near the inlets and outlets of ponds and lakes.

Salmon, browns and lake trout will also be found around these areas, feasting on spawning smelt and suckers.

In an effort to amplify the safe angling message , it is interesting to note OSHA research indicates fishermen and fishing related activities have the highest risk of injury of all occupations with a rate of 127 fatalities per 100,000 workers.

Logging came in second with a rate of 104 fatalities per 100,000, while airplane pilots ranked third at 71 fatalities per 100,000 workers.

With such obvious opportunity for danger, itÕ s important to take the proper precautions and wear a PFD whenever you are on the water. Fish and have fun, but do it safely. When IÕ m on the water, I wear a lightweight, inflatable vest that fits comfortably under my jacket and inflates automatically when it gets wet. I wear eye protection as well, as polaroid sunglasses allow me to see underwater obstacles, and prevent getting a poke in the eye from hooks, branches or a wildly handled flyrod.

During the early season, when the danger of hypothermia and cold water drowning is amplified, all NY state boaters must wear a PFD. Seat cushions just donÕ t cut it, since the PFD must be strapped on.

While there is no evidence a PFD will prevent hypothermia, it does make recovery efforts more efficient and effective.

NYS Nav. Law Section 73-a.1. requires “anyone underway in a boat less than 21 feet in length anytime between Nov. 1 and May 1 must wear a securely fastened life jacket. This includes canoes, kayaks, rowboats and motorboats.Ó Every year, it appears there are fewer and fewer youngsters in the woods and on the local waters. However, the apparent lack of kids in the woods isnÕ t just a North Country phenomenon. ItÕ s actually a trend thatÕ s been recognized all across the country. In fact, it was the subject of a recent National Park Service survey and the evidence suggests visits to national parks have been on a downward slide for over a decade, while overnight stays have fallen by over 20 percent during the same timeframe, while tent camping and backcountry camping each decreased by nearly 24 percent.

Researchers believe the availability of electronic entertainment has a lot to do with the trend, as does an apparent lack of leisure time.

It seems a majority of Americans are just too darned busy to take a walk in the woods, and thatÕ s really too bad, especially for future generations who have traditionally been introduced to the outdoors by family members.

It is a well-known fact that no one is born an angler or a hunter.

However, we all possess the genetic propensity to function as hunter/gatherers, which may explain our desire to chase everything from butterflies to moose and brook trout.

Even though such activities appear to be part of our nature, they still need to be nurtured and refined over time.

Most often this task has been accomplished by a father, an Uncle or a close family friend, who also provides lessons on sporting ethics and outdoor etiquette, which are just as important as knowing how to cast a fly or shoot a gun.

Angling etiquette remains one of the most overlooked skills in the game, despite the fact it is one of the most significant aspects of the sport. Simply put, etiquette is a set of rules consisting of a respect for the woods and waters, the fish, fellow anglers and the law.

It includes a few simple ideals such as donÕ t crowd other anglers, and donÕ t drill them for information. It also requires anglers to respect private property, and congratulate fellow anglers on their catch.

It covers behaviors such as first come, first served, and the necessity of having respect for the fish, the game, and abiding by the law and environmental standards. Most of all, etiquette and ethics teach us the importance of doing the right thing even when nobodyÕ s watching, and to pass along your skills and knowledge to the next generation.
