Dee leaving LGCS post to lead troubled Whitehall thom@suncommunitynews.com
LAKE GEORGE — As the Whitehall school board announced this week they had chosen Patrick Dee as their district’s new Superintendent of Schools, the man who’s spent six eventful years heading up Lake George’s public schools reminisced about his tenure in the renowned school district. Dee also answered ques-
tions that arose with the announcement — why would he leave the school system which has won many statewide and national awards, for one that has been ranked the lowest of all schools in the regional BOCES district for academic achievement — and has recently been embroiled in both academic and athletic controversies? Dee said that he had a heartfelt interest in advancing education, as well as
a hunger to take on a new challenge. He’s earning a $142,00 annual salary in Lake George, and he’s been offered $5,000 more to lead the Whitehall district. He’s to begin in his new post July 1. “I’m not a school superintendent to be complacent,
I’m in this job to make a difference for kids. Whitehall has needs, and my passion is to work with faculty to build, develop and strengthen academic programs in their district,” he said. “Students in Whitehall deserve the same opportunity to be
successful that students in more affluent schools enjoy, and I want to help make it happen.” Dee is indeed taking on a formidable challenge, as the Whitehall school district has been burdened with various troubles and been embroiled in controversy. In late 2014, Whitehall’s varsity football coach was fired in the wake of a brawl between football players and which involved coaches —
sparking threats of lawsuits as well as prompting 200 or so Whitehall residents to demand the head coach’s reinstatement. This past year, two teachers were suspended for a year after a state investigation revealed that they had not followed regulations regarding the security of Common Core exams. The high school principal resigned over the situation, and the school su>> See DEE | pg. 8

christina@suncommunitynews.com
BOLTON — The Technology Student Association has been going strong for 11 years at Bolton Central School, allowing participants in eighth through 12th grade an opportunity to develop skills in technology, innovation, design and engineering. Through the years, the group, led by technology education teacher Pat Boire, has delved into woodworking, welding, electricity and a variety of other areas. “Really, whatever they are interested in,” said Boire about the direction each student may take. They meet once a week for about an hour. While a dozen students belong to the after-school activity, there is no requirement for attendance. Some will faithfully show up, while others work around sports or other obligations. Students Max Abele and Tyler Kincaid recently finished a project, inspired by Abele’s collec>> See TECH | pg. 8

County equipment likely going to Lower Warren Street By Christina Scanlon
christina@suncommunitynews.com
QUEENSBURY — Discussion by Warren County officials on where to locate the Office of Emergency Services equipment continued last week, with a spot in a county-owned complex on Lower Warren Street looking more like a reality. Though the move may not be a permanent solution, not all officials are pleased with that direction. “Finance hijacked this from our committee,” said Thurman Supervisor and Public Safety Committee Chair Evelyn Wood, refer-
ring to actions taken last month. At that time, Wood’s committee had passed a resolution on to the Finance Committee to consider funding for the construction of a new building for the equipment. The Finance Committee looked into other options, toured the Lower Warren Street property which is currently partially vacant with Perkins Recycling renting a portion of a building. “I don’t believe that was a very good procedure,” said Wood, “but they’ve done what they felt was important.” Brian LaFlure, the county’s emergency services director, addressed the move last week.

“I do not consider that to be our final resting place,” he said of the building, noting while the equipment may fit into the building, the vehicles can not be driven out for a call easily as some pieces will be parked behind others. Lake George Supervisor Dennis Dickinson said “I object to his attitude,” following LaFlure’s comments. “This decision is not his, it’s ours,” said Dickinson. Horicon Supervisor Matt Simpson said the decision to move the vehicle to the location may not be permanent, but at this point in time, is necessary to the hundreds of thou-

A $17 million new science and technology building at SUNY Adirondack is in the works, along with a $16.5 million courthouse expansion.

Dispute over ‘white space’ contract deepens as investigation is launched By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
ATHOL — The dispute between town of Thurman officials and the engineer who designed and developed their wireless “white space” internet access system intensified this week as a law enforcement officer began investigating aspects of the system’s implementation. Ava Ashendorff, a representative of Rainmaker Networks, said April 26 a county sheriff ’s department officer went to the home of the firm’s owner and engineer, Fred Englemann, seeking answers to questions about how the contracted work was conducted. While Engelmann has contended he was owed an overdue sum for completing the installation of the white-space internet access system, Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Wood has said Engelmann was paid as stipulated in the contract, but he may have not fulfilled the agreement in a legal manner. “We have concerns about various aspects of the system and how it was being operated,” she said late Tuesday. “An investigator has been assigned, and he is looking into the matter.” At a special town meeting Tuesday, town board member Mike Eddy called for the issue to be discussed publicly at the board’s May 10 town meeting, but Wood said it wouldn’t
be discussed in public due to the legal issues involved. “Considering the ongoing police investigation and proposed litigation, we will not be discussing it — upon the advice of our town attorney,” she said. After the meeting, Wood said later she had no further comment on the issue, except that the system was working well, and would continue to operate and would be appropriately maintained. In other business, the board voted to spend about $43,000 to purchase a new dump box for a town truck, complete with a automated enhanced-efficiency salt spreader expected to cut the use of salt by 25 percent in melting ice on town roadways. The dump box is to replace an existing one that has deteriorated beyond repair, Wood said. She added that the new salt spreader purchase would be offset by an $8,000 grant from Warren County, and the device would provide not only substantial savings to town taxpayers, but it would also offer environmental benefits. This last winter, the town spread 1,700 tons of salt on town roads, compared to about 2,000 tons in an average year, she said. “We’re excited to move forward in salt reduction,” Wood said. Eddy voted cast the sole vote against the measure. Also, the board voted to authorize town
Highway Superintendent Pat Wood to examine and negotiate purchase of a recent-model tandem truck from Bolton for up to $10,000, as he has requested. Eddy contended that Pat Wood should personally appear before the board to discuss the purchase. Evelyn Wood responded that Pat Wood was out of town, but he had already given the truck an initial examination, and that if the town delayed, Bolton would likely put the truck up for auction. Eddy abstained from the vote. Evelyn Wood also informed the board that the state has offered to pay Thurman up to $20 per cubic yard to accept concrete rubble in the town’s construction and demolition landfill. She said that state officials had originally estimated 2,000 yards would need disposal from the project to replace the Route 28 Bridge, but they were now estimating 3,600 cubic yards. Wood expressed doubt that the town could handle that much. Eddy said that the town of Warrensburg might use in as fill for a park slated for development. The board also set guidelines for accepting limbs and brush at the town transfer station to be ground into chips for use at no charge by residents as mulch. Only branches and limbs of up to 4 inches maximum diameter will be accepted — lumber or construction materials cannot be left for processing by the town chipper. Eddy voted No on the resolution.
Deadline nears for North Warren V.I.P. banquet reservations Honorees: Don Butler of Chester, Brant Lake Camp for Boys By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
CHESTERTOWN — The North Warren Chamber has named community activist and entrepreneur Don Butler as their 2016 V.I.P. and Brant Lake Camp for Boys as its Business of the Year — and they are to be honored at a banquet set for 6 p.m. Thursday May 12 at Jimbo’s Club on Brant Lake. The deadline for reservations is Thursday May 5. Reservations can be made by calling 494-2722 or mailing a check to North Warren Chamber, PO Box 490, Chestertown, NY 12817. Butler, who has successfully operated the Panther Mountain Inn and launched Brant Lake Taxi, has accomplished a
lot for the community. He was the principal founder of the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance which has launched a half-dozen new events and a weekly farmer’s market all of which have been credited with dramatically increasing commercial activity in Chestertown and Brant Lake as well as boosting the area’s quality life — and sparking substantial community involvement. Founded in 1916, Brant Lake Camp for Boys is being recognized for its century of significant contributions to the North Warren communities. The camp has been a key factor in the health of the local economy, area community leaders have said. The camp’s owners, the Gerstenzang, Meltzer and Gersten families, have through the years provided vital support to more than a dozen local community organizations. Those seeking to participate in celebrating the achievements and legacy of Don Butler and Brant Lake Camp for Boys are urged to make their reservations as soon as possible.

In other business, the May 24 special town meeting was canceled due to a scheduling conflict. The new date is to be announced in several weeks. Also, the board opened a sole bid for small garbage bags to sell to town residents for depositing household trash at the town landfill. The board approved Waste Zero’s bid of $1,673 for 10,000 13-gallon bags. Eddy voted No on the motion. Also, Wood announced that a porta-potty would be placed at the town landfill to replace the existing outhouse located there. Board member Gail Seaman announced that the food pantry was changing its weekly hours on Tuesday to 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. rather than two hours earlier, based on increased convenience to residents. Wood announced that a new eight-extension phone system for all town offices was installed this week, and it was operating well. The system, which cost about $4 ,000, allows all town offices to be interconnected and calls to be routed to any department regardless of the town number dialed. It replaces a system that was had many problems, including dropping calls, she said. Wood said that the board should to take action to have the town’s computer system examined and evaluated, as a new server was needed to provide a more secure, centralized backup of vital data.

Increased costs for indigent defense loom large By Christina Scanlon
christina@suncommunitynews.com
QUEENSBURY — Increases in indigent defense eligibility expected to go into effect across the state in October could have a drastic impact on the Warren County budget. What that means in a dollar amount, however, remains to be seen. Joy A. LaFountain, Warren County Assigned Counsel Office administrator, met with the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee, explaining some of the areas that will see the biggest changes. A report released earlier this month by New York State Office of Indigent Defense recommended the eligibility requirements be increased to 250 percent under the federal poverty level guidelines. The goal of the increase, according to William Leahy, director of the state’s Office of Indigent Defense, is to create a more uniform eligibility policy for following federal poverty level
guidelines. The current regulations quality a single person if they make less than $14,850 annually. “Almost every county has always used 125 percent,” said LaFountain. The fallout of the change would be immediate and, she said, “possibly double the amount of people applying or (that will be) potentially eligible.” Other changes allow third party income to be removed from the application. This means, a minor does not have to include a parent’s income. Joint or household income is no longer part of the process. A married person applying for assigned counsel will be looked at as an individual, instead of part of a couple sharing income “This will also increase client volume,” said LaFountain. In addition to the increased case loads, which could prompt the hiring of more staff, physical changes to the office are likely necessary. New requirements state applications should be completed in a confidential setting. “This is problematic,” said LaFountain. “My current location is not conducive to confidentiality for applicants.” LaFountain did not ideas on how to remedy her current location, in the middle of a hall with office on either end where conversations can be heard. It was suggested that the Facilities Committee take a look at possible solutions. Horicon Supervisor Matt Simpson said he had a lot of concerns about the new requirements. “It seems to be another unfunded mandate that will really impact this office,” he said. Mark LaVigne, deputy director for the New York State As-
sociation of Counties, said Simpson’s thoughts were echoed throughout the state. “It is important for the state to take on fiscal responsibility for this state concern,” he said. Across the state, the effects will be felt, though in some counties it will be worse than others. “It’s largely dependent on structure of existing public defense program,” he said. For some, it could mean hiring new staff or contracting with additional legal counsel to take on the added case loads. For some, like Warren County, it could require physical changes to office space. Simpson said he would like to see the state reimburse counties for the extra expenditures.
Rotary gives dictionaries, thesaurus LAKE GEORGE — The Lake George Rotary Club held their annual Dictionary/Thesaurus Project Tuesday, April 12, at the Lake George Elementary School. Club members presented Dictionaries and Thesaurus to 118 students in third grade and fifth grade. This year Stewart’s Coorporation helped by donating ice cream coupons to each child.

The right of dialogue
ast week’s column where I suggested that Sanders and Trump might continue their fights to reform the political process by running together on an independent ticket, should their highly popular campaigns be shutdown by the two parties, has received a fair amount of commentary this week. It seems the column struck a nerve on both sides of the aisle. My concern here goes well beyond their candidacies and any speculation about their future. I did not begin writing this weekly column because I am highly opinionated and needed an outlet for my thoughts, although some of our readers believe that to be the case. I began writing because I saw too many people, even within our staff, who wanted to draft opinion pieces anonymously and be shielded from public response and personal attacks. While I’m not a talented writer like our Pete DeMola, I try to lead by example, and this column was the end result. The anonymous approach may be popular on the internet, but it doesn’t help to foster a respectful dialogue over issues of great importance. In that environment people seem more compelled to respond with insults and derogatory comments versus facts and sound arguments to support their position. A democracy such as ours can’t properly function in that manner. We must retain the ability to be open minded toward all issues and not be bullied or influenced by threats of violence when our opinions differ. What concerns me most in our political process today is we’ve lost touch with the ability to debate the issues without trying to degrade, insult or threaten the person who wishes to stand up and share their opposing thoughts. I’m a big boy and have been in the public eye from many years, as such, I’m thick skinned enough to understand both the low blows and the high praise while not taking any of it too seriously. The goal here is to stimulate open discussion but in doing so we also see and hear far too many who are intimidated and afraid to speak up because of the threatening nature of our disagreements these days. We are a community, a country and a world with many differing beliefs. We all need to accept and respect our differences while trying to live our short lives here on this planet. If we can not do so the future will indeed be a rocky one as each group tries to impose it’s will on those not willing to push back with ideas and solutions.

Beep beep, here comes fraud
W
asteful government spending, for many, is an abstract concept: Perhaps it’s a figure of speech that folks toss around. A buzzword in newspaper columns, an image from a fading political campaign — even a dog whistle depending on where you stand on the political spectrum. But here in the North Country, visible reminders of a government run amok cruise our streets daily. Medicaid taxis. Essex County spent $2.5 million last year paying for medical transportation for Medicaid recipients — All 378 of them. Now this would be ludicrous enough if these were all legitimate trips by patients in need of medical treatment. After all, for $6,613 per person, you could buy them each a very nice used car for that amount. But we’re doubtful considering the horror stories we’ve been hearing since a heroic Essex County whistleblower blew the roof off this crooked scam last summer — It’s pretty ingenious: Incorporate a cab company. Link up to the state’s registry. Drive people to wherever they want to go. Then stick state and federal taxpayers with the bill. Do it again and again until you turn a tidy profit. Boom, you’re on cruise control. Just don’t get caught. New York State caps county Medicaid costs at $6.9 million annually. As such, local governments generally incorporate that number into their spending plans, thank the heavens that it’s not higher and go on with their daily business. That means attention isn’t really focused on this industry until one of the operators raises eyebrows with their misbehavior. Like getting into a fender bender. Or violating privacy procedures. Or, in the case of one Broome County operator, bombing around in an unlicensed vehicle while allegedly defrauding the government of $80,000 within two years. More are inevitably out there, haunting the streets. No checks, no balances. But the state doesn’t seem to be putting the brakes on this mutant industry, which has mushroomed overnight. In July 2012, the state health department shifted the responsibility from counties to provide Medicaid transportation to a private company based in Syracuse. Doing so, they said, would save the state money as it continues to embark on Medicaid reforms. But figures are scant because the health department isn’t talking. While oversight mechanisms are said to exist, the health department isn’t dishing on those, either. This opacity has even been noted by the state comptroller’s office, who said in a report last year that an unfortunate “side effect” of the state’s move to managed care has been reduced transparency with regard to the use of Medicaid dollars.
Even county officials are skeptical that complaints are being reviewed in an expedient manner. Now that local officials are getting wise to the issue, discussions about possible regulations have begun to percolate to the surface. It’s a noble cause. But is the solution of big government more government? We’re skeptical. To us, this unfairly penalizes law-abiding citizens at the expense of the fraudulent few. It really is a microcosm of the bigger problems in our country. Not only is the state’s Medicaid transport industry warped, but so is the overall entitlement system. Barron’s recently likened the relationship states have with the federal government’s Medicaid program as a “three-card monte,” a cozy relationship that relies on an incestuous cycle to keep the dollars flowing — even more so now that the Affordable Care Act is the law of the land. We agree. But we also acknowledge that health care is an enormously complex issue that can’t be summarized in soundbites. And because Medicaid plays such a large role in our state’s overall health care system, we understand efforts to limit spending could lead to the costs being shifted into the public sector. As such, we agree with the comptroller that the state health department should continue to be transparent on each major step in this major overall. Because right now, this waste is enough to give anyone a heart attack. The good news is, beep beep, folks — a free ride to the hospital is just a phone call away.

GUEST VIEWPOINT
SCOTT OSBORNE sosborne@elcsd.org

R
ecently a letter was published expressing a viewpoint of dissatisfaction with two school districts which are purposefully sharing athletics programs in order to provide opportunities for students. The letter cites a �short-term addition of good players’ as a major emphasis for the sharing of sports between two schools. Additionally the individual accuses students, parents, alumni and community members of being �brainwashed’ into the belief that sharing educational programs and services, such as sports, is bad. The intention of this joint endeavor couldn’t be further away from what Mr. Mazzotte claims in his letter. The primary reason for the merging of athletics programs (on an asneeded basis) between Elizabethtown-Lewis CSD and Westport CSD is for student-athletes to have an opportunity to play sports. A school district’s ability to provide a well-rounded experience for students, including arts and athletics, has been challenged by fiscal shortfalls and declining enrollment. Particularly in smaller districts the enrollment decline has been sharp and so has the decline, in some cases, in participation. It would be very simple for a Board of Education to say, “There’s not enough students to field a team, so we don’t play.” That’s the case in some places, but neither school board here supports that approach, which could be damaging to students. While one school within the partnership may have less interested participants than the other, the reverse happens a year after. In 2014 one school had �lower’ numbers of interested participants, and in 2015 the opposite was the case - yet in the spirit of partnership there’s no scoreboard for which school contributes more athletes to the team. For the long-term sustainability of both schools we’re more concerned about all, not some. We have the ability to look beyond school district boundaries - which are nothing more than lines drawn for taxation - and view all students as our shared responsibility. Shared athletics teams have many benefits beyond simply being able to field a team. Student athletes experience an increase in social interaction beyond the circle of peers at their school each day. Our small communities become larger communities when student-athletes interact with others outside of their daily norms. Experiencing new viewpoints, exchanging
ideas, promoting sportsmanship and forging new friendships have been positive consequences of our ELW Griffins athletics programming. In small rural areas with limited diversity, our student-athletes are expanding themselves socially and emotionally. The decision to share sports teams is not a decision made in the best interest of adults. It’s made in the best interests of our students. Quite often adults are caught in the comfort of complacency, routine and convenience, so facing change then becomes difficult. Sharing of athletics teams requires open communication, patience, commitment to fine detail and dedication to listening. The majority of parents from both schools have been supportive of this endeavor, and have provided both schools feedback on how to improve our concept. We have listened, considered the feedback and made various changes, most notably - holding home athletics contests in both communities to ensure the maintenance of identify for both sponsoring schools. Students have already merged; they did so a long time ago, and they have left behind them the mindset that a color, animal or mascot defines their identity. In the case where adults fail to recognize that - you’ve already fallen behind. A school’s identity is not necessarily forged by colors or by a mascot. Symbolic use of an animal matched with a specific set of colors doesn’t �make’ a school culture. Certainly the school’s mascot and colors serve as a point of reference, an icon, a symbol, and it’s fun to rally behind a common goal using a mascot to identify ourselves. The true creation of school’s identity is forged in relationships between students, staff and families. Identity comes from how we treat each other as professionals, cemented by cultural norms of communication, mutual understanding, and a common vision for a better product that will serve students. Identity comes from the decisions we make, the motivation for those decisions, and how we prioritize our time and resources to support providing kids a well-rounded education. Simply stated, our identity as schools is defined by how we treat students, how we serve the community, and how we work with cooperation, mutual respect, and civility with each other to accomplish the mission. There’s nothing �brainwashing’ about that intention. The rising tide lifts all boats. Scott J. Osborne is the Superintendent of Schools at Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School District. Effective July 1, 2016 Osborne will also serve concurrently as the Superintendent of the Westport Central School District.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
StoryÊ of Ê ThurmanÕ sÊ Ò WhiteÊ SpaceÊ ProjectÓ Ê notÊ fullyÊ told To the Editor: I am writing to clarify and correct some of the information presented in your recent article about Thurman’s White Space Project. The topology redesign effort began in June 2015 and was completed Nov. 17 2015 with the approval, full knowledge and participation of Supervisor Wood. Her participation included multiple meetings and conversations with us, and with the electrical contractor; obtaining landowner permission for the Mountain Road pole; placing orders for additional equipment; approving vendor change orders for different equipment; approval of additional expenses for the Town’s electrical contractor - and full payment of his additional expenses, which were significantly higher than mine. If any of this was done without the full knowledge of the seated board, that is a matter for the Town and state auditor to address, and not my concern. Further, I did not double my original claim. I had submitted two invoices on Nov. 30, each for half of the full amount. One included a line item for “In-Kind Labor Credit for NYS Grant” which reduced that invoice to zero. When I subsequently learned that the two invoices had not gone through the Town’s audit of claims, and had not been processed for payment before the NYS grant deadline of Dec. 31, I revised the second invoice to remove the line item credit, as I believe it would have been inappropriate to offer it after the grant deadline. If either or both of my invoice amounts were in fact submitted to the state as in-kind labor, with neither one paid, that again is a matter for the Town and state auditor to address. Finally, the reason for my request to meet and negotiate with only the full board and clerk was motivated by the need for transparency, as I believe the public’s business should be conducted with full visibility. There is nothing unlawful about meeting or negotiating with the full board and clerk, during a regular or special board meeting. I simply do not understand why the Town refuses to pay my relatively modest claim, and why this matter has not been disclosed or discussed publicly at any of the many Town board meetings from last December to the present.

PutnamÊ CentralÊ SchoolÊ BoardÊ deservesÊ toÊ beÊ onÊ Ô booÕ Ê list To the Editor: Recent mention of the Putnam Central School District in the Post Star “Boo” section in the April 18 edition, criticizes Superintendent Matthew Boucher for his refusal to provide public documents subject to a FOIL request. The lack of transparency in the Putnam Central School District has been an ongoing issue for a number of Putnam residents. The Putnam Central School Board and Mr. Boucher are well deserving of the �boos.” There have been calculated and deliberate actions taken by Mr.
Boucher and the school board to discourage parent and taxpayer participation in school board meetings. Approximately one and a half years ago, public participation in an open forum setting was allowed. Most recently, anyone wishing to speak at a board meeting is being required to submit an advance request to be put on the meeting agenda. One may then speak at the board with no expectation of any discussion or answers to any questions because the board has publicly stated that they will not respond to questions or comments. Mind you, this is a school building with under 20 students and only slightly fewer staff. The inability to interact with this school board has caused several residents to submit FOIL requests for information and many have gone unacknowledged and unanswered. Thank you, Sun, for assisting those of us who would air issues which need to be discussed publicly. Bonnie V. Sheeley BA, MLS Putnam Station
ActivistsÊ shouldÊ reconsiderÊ federalÊ banÊ onÊ oilÊ byÊ rail To the Editor: Advocates of crude oil transport by train should do research before they shoot the North Country in the foot! 1. Crude oil in itself is not explosive and trains are not using oil tanker cars from the Civil War period. 2. Oil transport by rail is more efficient than by truck and is as safe as air travel. 3. The oil train disaster in Quebec was caused by a runaway and on impact of that mass, anything will explode. 4. If we stop transport by rail, what will it do to the cost of heating oil and gasoline. 5. We pay the government $0.45 cents per gallon for gas and $0.63.4 cents per gallon on fuel oil. What are they doing for rail safety? The Lake Champlain environment is endangered from an number of agents, sewage, leaching salt from roads, chemicals from plants, fertilizer or pesticides and yes, even pollution from gasoline outboard motors, like those used in the Bass Tournament listed as an asset to the region. I suggest the activists reevaluate the rail transport ban and look to the elected officials, so quick to jump on the bandwagon. Their job is to protect and serve the community. Michael Calitri Peru

COMMENTARY
Little Bits Rounds and echo songs Gordie Little
Columnist
R
ow, Row, Row your boat gently down the stream.” How long has it been since you sang that out loud? It’s called a “round.” It shouldn’t be confused with another one you might recall: “Bill Grogan’s Goat.” That one is an “echo” song. There is a difference. Rounds are part of our fabric since early childhood. Another that comes to mind is “Are You Sleeping Brother John.” I learned most of my favorite rounds and echo songs at campfires--Boy Scouts, Sunday School picnics, family gatherings and other such events. Some of you are already knitting your brows and asking somebody across the table if they remember “Bill Grogan’s Goat.” Gosh, I hope I’m not the only one. “Bill Grogan’s goat, was feeling fine, Ate three red shirts from off the line. Bill took a stick, gave him a whack, and tied him to the railroad track.” I inserted the commas to indicate where the echo comes in. I have no clue as to why I woke up this morning with the goat song rattling around in my meager mind. At breakfast, I began to intone it while Kaye’s response confirms my gathering senility. “Have you never heard that?” Her answer was simply, “No. Why would you ask me that at 7 o’clock in the morning?” I thought everybody knew the goat song. I guess I was wrong. Of course, I was off and running; gathering dozens of pages of research on echo songs and specifically on this one. “Why do you waste so much ink?” she asks. OCD is my excuse. I’m driven, pure and simple. I traced the goat echo song far back into the 19th century with origins probably in England. I prefer to believe it was first sung in Ireland. There are myriad variations and endless verses. The name of the goat owner ranges from Grogan to Hogan; Tyram to Hatch; O’Grady to Rosenthal; Mike Riley to William Tell to Billy Hall and on and on. The fact remains that the goat was always feeling fine. The shirts were always red. The goat was always whacked or beaten and was always tied to the railroad track. He was in pain at seeing the oncoming train, and coughed up the shirts. That flagged the train and I guess he lived to eat more shirts around yet another camp fire. Just be grateful that such choral conundrums don’t assail you in the middle of the night. If you led a sheltered childhood without stories and songs around the camp fire at Scout camp or your grandfather’s back yard, I’ll continue trying to tell you about mine. Another of my favorite echo songs is “Down By the Bay.” Years ago, I wrote a true story about Bill Hogan’s ghost here in Morrisonville. I’ll wager he never even owned a goat, let alone three red shirts. Columnist Gordie Little may be reached at gordie@suncommunitynews.com.

perintendent also left their posts. Since late 2013, the district’s slate of administrators, including the business manager and an elementary principal, all left. Other personnel issues in the district have also occurred. But area community and educational leaders have noted that Dee has the ability and character to take on such controversies — he’s dealt with some high-profile situations in Lake George,
For 25 years, the Fisher House program has provided a “home away from home” for families of patients receiving medical care at major military and VA medical centers.

including the conduct of school board members regarding an alleged teacher-student relationship scandal investigated by state police, the emergence of a vocal, influential community group opposing the school district’s spending, and the controversial termination of a beloved soccer coach. All were resolved in a calm, reasoned manner with the community’s focus resuming on outstanding education, community leaders have said. Dee said he was looking forward to working with the Whitehall staff to improve its educational programs and boost its prospects. “I’m excited about going to Whitehall — the dedicated faculty, school board members and staff have the same passion that I do for their students and community,” he said “The school district is ready to move forward and I couldn’t be happier about taking on the challenge. Dee was hired at Lake George in Jan. 2010 as Director of Curriculum, and nine months later moved into the superintendent’s post. He had gained nine years prior experience as principal of Sanford St. Elementary school. Beforehand, he had served as a school psychologist in two districts. Regarding his tenure at Lake George, Dee deferred credit to the district’s staff, faculty and board members for their work on behalf of education. He said the primary accomplishments of the team were the preparation and rollout of Common Core, which ended up well-integrated with the existing curriculum. The outcome has been not only an outstanding student performance and widespread acceptance of the new standards, but a low exam opt-out rate. Another accomplishment was the adoption of the “1:1 Computing Initiative” that has assured that every Lake George Student has access to computing devices, which has prompted inquiry-based instruction and encouraged students’ curiosity and love of learning and boosted understanding and utiliza-
tion of instruction. The introduction of the new instructional methodology called “Readers-Writers Workshop” was another accomplishment during his tenure — an approach that allows pupils of all abilities and levels to move forward together. Dee also said the new emphasis on STEM, or Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics at the elementary level, has also been a major move forward. Through this initiative, all elementary students now have access to instruction in both robotics and computer coding during regular school hours. “This program gives Lake George students the precursor skills to hit the ground running when they go into Junior High school, where they have access to traditional STEM-oriented elective classes,” he said. Another accomplishment during his tenure at Lake George was improving the food served to students by hiring a professional chef. He said this individual, a graduate of the CUlinary Institute of America, was leading a crew preparing gourmetlevel meals that students were enjoying, and the result was the cafeteria operation was now turning a profit rather than running a deficit. “The food is now fantastic and healthy — and the kids love it,” he said. Dee said he deeply enjoyed his work in Lake George, partially because he was a student for 13 years there, graduating in 1987. “Lake George schools have meant a great deal to me — I’m an alumni, and I’m passionate about the district and doing what’s best for kids, and this has made the occasional difficult situations easier to deal with,” he said. “The most prominent thing about my time in Lake George was that the people, the faculty, students and staff are outstanding, and they get all the credit for all the growth and progress — They did all the work.”

Since completing the podium, James has undertaken a more challenging project and is creating a desk. While the students choose their own projects, Boire is there every step of the way guiding the way. The podium needed hands-off from James for one portion, as it required Boire to cut the cedar with a chainsaw. “It’s usually all hands-on,” said Boire. “We discuss how things go together, what materials to use, how to fasten them together.” Other recent projects included the creation of a gaming console. “It’s really whatever they’d like to try,” said Boire.

The final product is a perfectly proportional towing trailer, complete with oversized wheels to match the truck’s profile. Earlier in the year, Dustin Reiter, of Bolton Landing, completed a striking rustic table. It’s one of several pieces he’d built, said Boire. Dustin’s older brother, James Reiter, 17, presented a recently finished masterpiece to his English teacher, Laura Boyerman. “I just like working with my hands,” said James, initially making smaller pieces, such as switch covers. “I remembered my teacher didn’t have a podium, so I thought, why not make her one?” “It’s gorgeous,” said Boire of the completed project. James said he got interested initially after talking to to Boire his freshman year. He has plans for a career in heating and cooling, currently

CelebratingÊ NursesÊ weekÊ 2016 Patience with patients
North Country Community College student nurse shares his thoughts By Mikaela Foster
mikaela@suncommunitynews.com
TICONDEROGA — National Nurses Week, running from May 6 to May 12, celebrates the important role nurses play in health care. May 8 was designated National Student Nurses day by the American Nurses Association as part of the week’s celebrations in 1998. Twenty-two-year-old Cristian Butuc is a student nurse at North Country Community College. She’s studying to become a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). He said he likes the small program for the opportunity to have more one to one time with his professors. Originally from Greece, he moved to the U.S. eight years ago. Butuc said he became interested in nursing right out of high school. He needed a job and his mom suggested the nursing field. So he started his journey as a nurse’s assistant and has been working as one for the last three years. Working with patients has been very meaningful, he said. And as he spends time with them and caring for each one, he feels like he’s had an impact on them. “Even the smallest things,” he said. “Like bringing a patient a cup of water or washing their face after treatment. It meant something to them.” Butuc said his experiences working with
patients has been rewarding in a way he didn’t expect. As much as he has helped them during their most vulnerable times, he said they have helped him grow as a young man. He has learned so much from his patients, he said, because he listens to them. “I’m interested in their stories,” he said. “I’m young without much life experience.” Butuc said he’s met many patients he holds in high regard and has been humbled by their willingness to give him life advice. Butuc responded passionately when asked what he thought was important about being a nurse. “People want to feel safe and at ease in a hospital,” the student said. “I personally think one main focus of a nurse is to administer empathy, laughter, etc. Comfort is major — it aids in recovery.” He said he wants people coming to the hospital multiple times, to feel like they’re coming to see an old friend. “That’s my goal,” he said. When asked what the hardest thing about being a student in the nursing field was, he said, “It’s really nerve wracking when doing something new with a person, when you [feel like you don’t have enough experience].” But experience comes with time, he said. “It’s all about patience with patients.” Butuc said after graduating as an LPN he plans to work and gain more experience in the nursing field before studying to become a Registered Nurse (RN).

Adirondack Woof Stock to return, vendors needed Doggie-focused event set for June 18-19 By Christina Scanlon
christina@suncommunitynews.com
CHESTERTOWN — Plans are underway for the return of “Adirondack Woof Stock - A Weekend of Peace, Paws and Music,” after a wildly successful debut last year. “I’m loving it,” said Cindy Mead, secretary of the Tri- Lakes Business Alliance, of organizing the event. “This is my thing.” At the top of Mead’s to-do list are getting more vendors. “We need pet groomers, fence companies, a pet photographer and dog trainers, as well as any other vendors who may be interested in attending,” she said. “Anything that’s pet-related. We could really use someone who sells tie-dye. They would do really well.” Last year, the event drew about 3,000 guests over the weekend, along with 1,000 dogs. The tally was estimated, but this year a $1 admission charge will give organizers a better idea of attendance. Back by popular demand will be the My Dog has Talent Show, Hudson Valley Dock Dogs, Beantown Disc Dogs and Adirondack Save A Stray and North Shore Animal League. Doggie Fun Zone, an agility and lure chasing outfit will be on hand from Florida. Several animal blessings will take place throughout both days. A presentation scheduled last year, but canceled due to the massive manhunt for two
escaped inmates from Dannemora Prison, will take place this year. The State Police K-9 Unit will show some of the handlers and dogs training and skills in action. The fun takes place June 18-19. The schedule is loose, with Saturday’s fun expected to start around 9 a.m. That evening, visit Woof Stock Revisited on the Mill Pond in Brant

Political high office Political friends of Milton N. Eldridge, Supervisor of Warrensburgh, have started a boom for him as a candidate for the Warren County Republican nomination for member of assembly. Mr. Eldridge is a son of the late Hon. Taylor Eldridge of North Creek, who represented Warren County many years in the assembly and in the northern section of the county. The young man has been looked upon for years as a future assemblyman. He has business interests in common with Senator James A. Emerson and Louis W. Emerson and it is believed the Emerson organization will be behind him to a man if he casts his hat in the ring. The thirteen Republican members of the Board of Supervisors as well as former Sheriff Bolton are also said to be strong supporters of Mr. Eldridge. The present assemblyman, H.E.H. Brereton is said to be ready to step aside and allow Eldridge to take the nomination and it should be an easy victory for the Warrensburgh man. His attitude is distinctly receptive but apparently not eager and is inclined to be reticent. (Note–Milton Noble Eldridge, was born Oct. 16, 1881, in Wevertown, the son of Taylor and Cynthia Noble Eldridge. Taylor J. Eldridge was a North Creek merchant. Milton was one of the fine young men in Warrensburgh history who died well before his time or reached his true potential. He was the president and general manager of the Warrensburgh Woolen Company, an industry of major importance since it had been organized in 1899 by his father and James and Lewis Emerson. At that time the mill manufactured men’s all-wool trousers and woolen cloths. It once stood on the property at 18 Milton Avenue where I have now lived for the past thirteen years. It goes without saying that Milton Avenue was named for this man. He was unmarried and was considered by many to be the most popular and handsome young bachelor in town. Milton Eldridge went on to become Supervisor of Warrensburgh and was returned to that office eleven times. In 1921 and 1922 he was elected to the State Assembly to represent Warren County, following in the footsteps of his father and both grandfathers. He was chairman of the Warren County Republican Committee until his health forced him to resign. He was only 45 years old when he died Aug. 1,

1926 of an acute case of tuberculosis.)
Man caught and horsewhipped Inspired perhaps by the example by Warrensburgh men whipping a young man caught in “flagranie delicto” with a woman of family several weeks ago, a regulating committee organized on similar lines in Lake Placid recently applied the same treatment to a man of family whose attentions to a young woman were obnoxious to the committee. The offender was taken from the young woman’s home and horsewhipped and his partner in wrong doing was notified to leave town. In this connection it may be stated that wild stories circulated after the Warrensburgh happening referred to, that the man was seriously and perhaps fatally injured, were entirely without foundation and he was about the next day suffering only a little soreness from his chastisement. The woman, shortly after, left town thus proving the treatment was effective. (Note–In this column, in the April 9, 2016 issue of the Journal / Sun, was re-printed a notice from the 1916 Warrensburgh News that stated “The people of East Thurman wish it to be understood that only people who are married can live together here and any disorderly houses in East Thurman will be dealt with severely if they are not cleaned up at once.” This probably had something to do with this story.)
Slay the mother, raise the kids When Carl Remick, of Waterford, shot a fox near his home, he followed the tracks back a short distance to a hollow tree and found there five young foxes about twenty-four hours old, the size of kittens. He took them to his house in his hat and a cat, the mother of three kittens, has adopted them and is giving them the same care lavished upon her own young.
Alive and going strong
The snow is nearly all gone and soon it will be only a bad memory. The sugar orchards are running good. On April 6, 1916 there was a regular blizzard, in Newcomb, on Thursday and Friday nights. About six inches of snow fell and drifted to some places to a depth of two feet, but now the snow has mostly left us at last. The ice went out of Schroon Lake on Friday, April 28, 1916. The Schroon River was at its highest point for this season Sunday, April 30, 1916 but did not reach the proportions of a freshet. Clarence Dunkley, who lives on a farm just outside Bakers Mills, began plowing on April 21, 1916 which is early for that kind of work in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains here and still covered with snow and there are plenty of drifts in the fields. People have been plowing and cleaning up their yards. (Note– Why plant grass when it would be economical and make more sense to plant corn in your yard?)
Sweet and sour notes The cost of gasoline has superseded the price of hay as a topic of rural anxiety. A daughter was born to Mrs. Jesse Tripp, of Diamond Point. Dyer Ackerman, of Hague, has recently purchased a pair of horses for use on his milk route. Harry Liddle, of North Creek, has purchased a new Ford touring car from Pereau Garage, in Warrensburgh. Isaac Safford has purchased of Edison Granger, at the same garage, a five-passenger Saxon automobile. George H. Potter has ordered a Republic auto truck to be used in his grain and cement business. D.E. Pasco & Sons, River Street, Warrensburgh, are selling new Maxwell Runabout automobiles for $635 and five-passenger touring cars for $655.

reetings Patrons and Friends! I hope everyone has been enjoying the beautiful weather we have been experiencing lately! It is a great time to get out and do some yard work and, of course my favorite activity, GOLF!! But the important thing is to get out there and enjoy it! Now, I have to correct a statement from my last column concerning the signing out of laptops. You can sign them out but ONLY for use in the library. We do not allow patrons to take them home for use. Again, in order to sign out a laptop your accrued fines must be below $5 for an adult, or $2 for a juvenile. Continuing on my last column’s theme of information, we at The Richards Library offer several services that you might like to take advantage of the next time you are here. We offer all patrons who are in the process of job seeking a resume review, or, we can help you update or write a resume. If you would like us to review your current resume, drop a copy off to us, and we will review it, offer suggestions for improvement, or if it is fine, we’ll tell you that too. This will take us approximately one week to do so please plan accordingly. We also offer a Phase 1 and a Phase 2 Computer Class for our patrons who are not yet, let us say, computer savvy, but would like to be. Phase 1 is a very, very basic course that introduces the participants to the Internet, basic searches, an introduction to Social Media, and how to establish an e-mail account. Phase 2 is a bit more in-depth adventure into how to understand the various programs loaded on a computer, such as Word or how to establish and maintain files for documents, pictures and videos. Of course, we try to answer any and all questions a person might have, but if we can’t, we will definitely find the place for you to go to get your question answered. We advertise these classes on our Facebook page (facebook.com/Richards Library), our web page (therichardslibrary.com or therichardslibrary.org), and here in The Sun. And by the way, these classes are FREE!! Additionally, we can also help you with your own laptop and/or tablet issues (simple issues please, no problems that require us to hire someone from MIT!). Since we are talking about computers, please be advised that if you sign up to use one of our desktop computers (those computers located in our Public Access Computer [PAC] area) and you need to download and print material, please use Mozilla Foxfire to access the documents you need to print. For the past several months, Internet Explorer

has been having some issues accomplishing this task. We thank you for your co-operation! If you need assistance, please do not hesitate to ask me or any of the staff for help.

Here is a peek into what we are offering this year: Local author, Lawrence Gooley will be presenting a program, in conjunction with the Caldwell-Lake George Library and The Richards Library-Date and Time TBD (To Be Determined).

Shake and bake
O
n Saturday the ninth of April, a team of 12 local firefighters, NYS Department of Environmental Conservation Rangers, and DEC Fire Wardens took the yearly Wildland Fire Refresher Course at the DEC headquarters in Warrensburg. Forest Rangers Kallen and Laczko were the instructors for this year’s training. The required training covered forest fire investigation, wildfire behavior, weathers influence, fuels and wildland equipment. Subjects under fire investigation included lightning strikes, campfires, and electrical failures during storms, arson, and the NYS burn ban, which has drastically reduced the forest fires in the state since its enactment. One item mentioned was that since the use of outdoor wood stoves, numerous fires have been attributed to the dumping of hot coals and ash into the woods. I am in favor of forest management and wood stoves, so be careful out there, burning down your woods or house is no way to start the year. Life is precious! (Besides, you could lose your favorite bamboo rod, rifle with a walnut stock or your fishing and hunting magazines your wife wants you to get rid of). Fire behavior included the types and size of fuel, how moisture affects its ignition and the slope that the fire is on. A fire on a steep slope heats the air above it, and the fire spreads much faster. You don’t want to be above a fire that is moving quickly, the fact is, it runs faster than humans do. Fire weather such as relative humidity, wind speed and direction, and temperature all influence how fast a forest or grass fire travels. Fine fuels like grass, on a dry hot day with a wind can kill very quickly if you are in its way. The fire in Oklahoma earlier this month is a prime example of the speed and danger involved.
Pictured above: The 20 second test, Firefighters getting into shelters. Pictured below: In the shelters! Photos by Rich Redman
To measure the weather indicators, an old style belt weather kit was shown as well as the newer models of the Kestrel electronic whether analyzer. Sling psychrometers, wind speed meters, a compass, an observer’s book for notes and a humidity calculator and all included in a belt weather kit. Relative humidity, wind speed and direction, the type and size of fuel, along with land terrain are all taken into effect to reduce the potential danger to wildland interface fire fighters. Both tools have down sides. Human error can be a problem
with the belt kit, where the Kestrel is electronic and quick, but batteries are needed for the Kestrel and we all know how that goes, just when you need it, everything seems to fall apart. Having a diversity of tools keeps you covered and safe. The red flag warnings were covered. When the stars all line up like, relative humidity, wind, fuel, drought conditions, vegetation etc., the warnings are put out to notify the public that there is the potential danger for extreme fire conditions and care should be taken around camp fires, brush burning and any other fire related activity that could get out of hand. A burn ban could also be implemented in extreme conditions so there is a reduced potential for a forest fires. A mandatory part of the training is the fire shelter training. Safety is the priority. Fire shelters are emergency shelters made of three layers. The outside and inside layers are foil facing, sandwiching a layer, of fireproof material. The outside foil reflects heat away from the shelter, the fireproof layer insulates and the inside foil reflects residual heat away from the fire fighter. These shelters are used in emergencies only. They are called “shake and bake” shelters for a reason, if the fire is too hot, you cook like a wrapped potato, and that is no way of living. I don’t mean to make fun of serious situations, but we all need to laugh once in a while. Fire shelters can only withstand a certain amount of heat. If they fail, the fire fighter can die, but it’s a last ditch effort when things go bad. A drastic weather change, unknown fuels, too far a distance from the safe zones, and most importantly, the lack of communication are some of the causes. For the fire shelter training, all firefighters are required to pull the shelter out of the box, shake it open and crawl into it with their head facing away from the direction the fire is coming from in under 20 seconds. The shelter must be secured in all four corners by your arms, elbows and feet with your mouth and airway protected from breathing hot gases during a fire by cupping your hands around your mouth close to the ground where the air is cooler. Forest fires happen and people die, this is not a job for the timid, or the independent know it all rogue freelancers. Communication is the biggest problem on a fire line. When people don’t follow orders and go off on their own, they have abandoned their fellow firefighters. People die because of inappropriate actions. That is why we wildland firefighters train, to keep ourselves and brother firefighters safe. As NYS DEC Fire Wardens, myself and others are required to take the refresher training to maintain our qualifications. DEC Rangers also are required as well as any certified wildland firefighter in New York State.
