N.W. Chamber names annual award winners

Brant Lake teen named to U.S. Development Ski Team Abe Studler, 18, will join the team in Park City, Utah this fall

By Pete DeMola

BRANT LAKE — A local teenager has just passed a big milestone in his goal to join the big leagues.

Abe Studler, 18, has made the cut to join the U.S. Development Ski Team.

The placement came after Studler, a mogul skier, took the win in both the singles and du-

als events at Junior Nationals in March in Sun Valley, Idaho.

Studler, who trains at the Killington Mountain School in Vermont, had another successful competition in Colorado in March, where he finished eighth in singles and 14th in duels.

Placing second at the Nor-Am Cup, held in March at Killington, was also a critical stepping stone, Studler said.

The teen began skiing at 18 months.

“Right when I stood up, they put me on skis,” Studler said of his parents.

The passion for moguls didn’t come immediately.

At the age of 8, after years of hitting the slopes at Whiteface and skiing all across the Adirondack backcountry, Studler’s parents enrolled him in the New York Ski Educational Foundation weekend program in Lake Placid for alpine racing.

It wasn’t until a year later that he decided he’d rather hit jumps in the woods. Studler was sent to mogul, where he competed under Mike Lynn for four years.

LAKE GEORGE — Lake George Rotary Club members gathered in the school library last Friday before the return of their hometown hero.

The group had a gift basket and some surprises in store for Lake George graduate, now TV celebrity, Rachael Ray, who was set to arrive for her 14th annual cooking benefit at her alma mater.

Sherman Parker, Rotary Club president, recalled his first year as school superintendent.

“She was a senior,” he said of Ray. “I remember then, her guidance counselor

LONG LAKE — A total of $2 million to fight aquatic invasive species was awarded to 24 applicants by Gov. Andrew Cuomo last week.

In the region, the towns of Long Lake, Horicon and the Lake George Association were among the winners.

In all three cases, the money has been earmarked for education and outreach.

“I believe there will be an increase of the boat stewards,” said Long Lake Supervisor Clark Seaman, of the $69,750 award.

The additional money will place the stewards at Lake Eaton and Little Tupper.

Some stewards have been in place at Long

Lake and Raquette Lake for three or four years, he said, based on funding through Paul Smith’s College.

“It’s been well received from the reports we’ve seen,” he said.

While there are no boat washing stations, Seaman said the results of the stewards have been very positive.

The steward offers to inspect their boat and educate them in the process,” he said. “If they find anything, they can offer to send them to hose it off at the town garage.”

The grant money is to be used over the course of three years and requires a 25 percent match by the town.

“Funding will not be a problem,” said Seaman of the town’s share, as they’ve been contributing money to the cause for some time.

“Look at the cost of remediation once you’re infested,” he said. “We are a tourist economy. What would happen if a 13-mile

‘American Pickers’ seek antiques, treasure troves & ‘characters’

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — The reality show American Pickers — which features Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz scouring the nation for antiques and collectibles — is returning to upstate New York this summer, and the show’s producers are now seeking out people with interesting items and large collections for potential episodes.

Broadcast on the History Channel, American Pickers features Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz as they travel the back roads of the U.S. hunting for antiques, memorabil-

ia and collectibles in people’s barns, garages, attics and sheds.

Viewed by millions, the show blends anecdotes about Americana and antique collecting and history, as well as humor and hard bargaining as Wolfe and Fritz — friends since junior high school — cruise the nation’s byways hunting for relics.

An American Pickers production assistant contacted Sun Community News this week, noting the show was looking for interesting local characters as well as artifacts. Wolfe and Fritz have particular interest in vintage bicycles, motorcycles, toys,

unusual radios, movie memorabilia, advertising, military items, folk art, early firefighting equipment, vintage musical equipment, and automotive items — particularly large collections.

One-of-a-kind vintage items are of special interest, the show’s representative said. Wolfe and Fritz are not interested in retail operations, flea markets, museums, auctions, businesses or anything open to the public.

Upstate New York has been a favored treasurehunting site for Wolfe and Fritz. Several years ago, the duo made some interesting discoveries at a sprawling

treasure-laden farm with 14 trailers crammed with collectibles, and encountered

a mother-daughter duo that sold their 1856 home, an Underground Railroad site,

with all its contents.

The show has also filmed episodes at sites in the city of Amsterdam and the upstate villages of Tyrone, Little Falls, Livingston, Chatham and Cairo.

People who have a large collection of unique or interesting relics — or know of someone who does — are urged to contact the show’s producers at americanpickers@cineflix.com or call (855) 653-7878 and leave a message, detailing name, town, state, location of collection and description of artifacts. For an extensive list of preferred items sought, contact the editorial department at Sun Community News.

Rep. Chris Gibson decides not to run for governor

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

COLONIE — U.S. Rep. Chris Gibson, popular with northern New Yorkers and considered a strong candidate for governor of New York State, announced May 2 that he would not be running for the post in 2018, and that he was exiting politics.

The Congressman that for years represented Warren, Essex and eight other counties, said Tuesday he had accepted a position as visiting lecturer on Leadership at Williams College — and that he sought to spend more time with his family.

“Mary Jo and I have three teenagers who are in their last years at home,” he said. “Ultimately, for our family, the opportunity to spend increased time together balanced with a return to academia was one we could not pass up.”

Gibson has won over a considerable number of New Yorkers of all political affiliations with his bipartisan decision-making and his moderate, analytical approach.

Gibson’s tenure in Congress started in Jan. 2011, two months after he defeated Scott Murphy of Glens Falls to represent the 20th Congressional District. Although his home base was moved south due to redistricting, he retained broad support from residents of Essex and Warren Counties. Now representing the 19th Congressional District, he was re-elected in 2012 and 2014 by wide margins.

In early 2015, Gibson announced he was not

“I respect his decision, but it leaves a big hole in the state Republican party,” Gillilland continued, noting that Gibson was a centrist with broad support.

County Vice Chairman Win Belanger also offered his thoughts.

“We will be missing an opportunity to have such a valued patriot to run for governor,” he said.

Efforts to reach Warren County G.O.P. Chairman Mike Grasso Tuesday morning were unsuccessful.

State Assemblyman Dan Stec of Queensbury said that Gibson would be missed on the political scene by many New Yorkers.

“Chris Gibson is well-liked and respected by both sides of the political spectrum. People respect both his background and his approach — he’s very cerebral and he has an amazing resume,” Stec said. “People across the state recognize that he’s reasonable, practical and not married to dogma — and this is what’s missing in so many of the state’s political leaders. Chris looks at issues on their own merit rather than reading a page out of a political playbook.”

In his announcement, Gibson said he had enjoyed meeting people across New York State and appreciated their support.

“Thank you for the opportunity to serve,” he said. “I truly believe that this is an exceptional country and our best days are still in front of us,” he said.

Bolton ‘blanketeers’ led by Key Club in donation drive Donation of 50 blankets, dog toys and cash come from event

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

BOLTON — It started with an idea from Key Club president Megan Stacey.

Just a few months later, 50 blankets were on their way to Troy to be distributed as part of Project Linus.

The nationwide program started in the late 1990s to “provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer ‘blanketeers,’” according to the program’s website.

Stacey learned of the program through her aunt who is affiliated with the program in Hawaii.

Michelle Borgh, Bolton Central School counselor and Key Club advisor, said the club was immediately on board with the idea.

“Megan did a great job with this,” said Borgh.

The club gathered fleece donations and cut the material to the sizes and shapes they needed for the big event.

April 15 was a fun-filled evening, the group said, drawing the club members, along with

Bolton High School’s Key Club were joined by volunteers from the school and community to create blankets for Project Linus.

school staff, family, friends, younger students and community members to volunteer their blanket-making skills.

A $5 admission was collected which resulted in a $320 donation to the school’s backpack program, offering healthy snacks to students over the weekends. Food was served through-

out the event at no charge and a trivia game was conducted.

“With the fleece scraps, we made toys that will be going to the local animal shelters,” said Borgh. “I guess we were helping all creatures great and small.”

The school’s Key Club has about 15 mem-

bers in grades 9-12. Upcoming events include their annual Grandparents Breakfast in June, in which the club serves the meal to students, and their guests, in prekindergarten through third grade.

One Hundred Years Ago – May, 1916 Alert – If anyone has died, married, left town, embezzled, had a fire, sold a farm, had a baby, came to town, bought a home, committed murder or fallen from an airplane, please call or telephone the Warrensburgh News because that is the news we want to know about.

Lunch didn’t sit well John Cooney Jr., died suddenly Friday night, May 5, 1916 of acute indigestion. He was taken ill while plowing on a farm at South Corinth, where he was employed and walked four miles to Corinth to consult a physician. He first went to the hotel and there became unconscious and died before the arrival of a physician.

He was a former resident of Glens Falls and leaves two children who reside there. He also leaves a brother, Fred Cooney, of Warrensburgh.

Fred Cooney, chef at the Grand Army House, has moved his family from Glens Falls into one of the Burhans cottages on Tannery Hill. (Note–George Henry’s tavern and restaurant is now located on the site of the old Grand Army House.

Fred’s new home was probably somewhere on the top of Elm Street near the current fire house.)

Man meets tragic end Former District Attorney Fred M. LaDuke, of Essex County, a resident of Keeseville and one of the most brilliant lawyers in Northern New York, was fatally injured Monday afternoon, May 15, 1916 when his automobile crashed into a bridge over the shallow Salmon River about five miles from Plattsburgh, and overturned in the bed of the stream.

His son was a patient in the Champlain Valley Hospital, in Plattsburgh and Mr. LaDuke was returning home after calling on him. The man was taken back to the hospital at once and at first injuries were believed to be confined to a broken arm.

Just as the surgeons finished dressing the arm, Mr. LaDuke collapsed and died.

Dead in the prime of life John Mulligan Jr., 27, died in Bolton on Saturday evening, May 6, 1916. He was unmarried and lived with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Mulligan Sr., in Bolton where they were caretakers of the Warden property.

He had been in ill health for many years. He is survived by a brother, James Mulligan and two sisters, Mrs. A. Neuman and Mrs. A. Thomas. Burial was in the Union Cemetery, Lake George.

Woman demand equal rights The women of Warren County who are interested in the cause of equal rights suffrage are expected to gather in large numbers Monday, May 15, 1916, in Chestertown, for the first annual convention of the county association which will be called to order at 10:30 a.m. by Mrs. C.J. Nordstrom of Diamond Point, president of the association and county leader. The meeting will be held in the parlors of the hotel and luncheon will be served before the afternoon talks start at 2 o’clock.

The feature of the meeting will be an address by Mrs. Raymond Brown of New York City, one of the prominent workers in the suffrage cause. Miss Mary Hutt, field secretary will also be present to speak as well as Mrs. George Notman of Keene Valley, chairman.

Mrs. Raymond Brown’s name is known far and wide in suffrage circles. In Rochester the number who came out to hear her was so large that the original plan of meeting had to be abandoned and a large hall hired for the 400 guests who accepted the invitation to be present. The lady has spoken before the Daughters of the American Revolution and in the streets of New York City as well as in theaters and from automobiles.

She is married to Ray Brown of Chicago, well known in the literary and artistic world and she herself is an accomplished pianist who has studied in the conservatories ofBoston, Berlin and Paris.

Mrs. Brown has the facts of suffrage growth and the arguments about democracy at the tips of her skillful fingers. She was the first one who sent out the rallying “Call to Arms,” and shows splendid devotion to the cause.

(Note – On the day of the rally the weather was unfavorable but large delegations were present from nearly all towns of the county, including Glens Falls, Warrensburgh, Chestertown, Lake George, North Creek and Luzerne.

During the lunch hour Mrs. Brown addressed the men on the porch of the hotel and made a strong appeal for their support. Senator James Emerson, of Warrensburgh, supported this worthy cause. I believe that the hotel meeting place was on the corner of Thieriot Avenue and Main Street, in Chestertown.

Thieves in the night A gasoline pipe line of the Standard Oil Company at Lake George was tapped by thieves and large quantities of gasoline have been stolen. The company, until last week, attributed the loss to leakage but the tap was discovered and the mystery was solved.

The thieves were believed to be owners of motor boats on the lake but no clue to their identity has been discovered.

Hedgehog delivers painful blow Archie Hayes, mountain observer, connected with the forest rangers, had to be relieved from his station at Hurricane Mountain for several days recently because of injuries to his leg caused by two hedgehog quills and blood poisoning which followed. While moving through some bushes his leg collided with a hedgehog and the trouble with the quills resulted.

Shared superintendent a wise decision

A

pair of neighboring Essex County school districts made a bold move when they announced last year that they would share a superintendent.

The arrangement between Elizabethtown-Lewis Central and Westport Central takes effect on July 1.

It’s a wise decision that’s long overdue.

After all, the districts have much in common.

Both face declining enrollment and similar tax rates.

Both already share a number of programs and services, including a boys soccer team that made it to the state finals last year.

And both, like all public school districts across the state, are facing a financial landscape where austerity is the new normal.

While districts across the North Country breathed a sigh of relief last month when Albany announced it would end the Gap Elimination Adjustment within a year, administrators were quick to point out that problems remain in how state education aid is allocated.

We’ll never be flush with cash.

Districts across the state are adopting their budgets this month.

For the most part, the narratives are similar: Scrimp here, cut there. Account for mandated costs over there. And hope disaster doesn’t strike.

The best case scenario is that no one gets a pink slip.

Buckle up and hold on.

Considering this perilous landscape, the districts who preemptively opt to pool their resources are embarking down a very wise path.

Other districts should take a page from the ELCS-Westport Central playbook, like Newcomb and Long Lake, for instance. Or Minerva and Johnsburg — or even Crown Point and Ticonderoga.

Many permutations will do.

Why shouldn’t they?

Since 2000, public school enrollment in the Adirondack Park has declined by 25 percent. The numbers have now bottomed out at a steady annual decline of 2.5 percent.

Elizabethtown-Lewis Central alone has lost 35 percent of its student body since 2003.

The clock is ticking.

Barring the steady import of exchange students, a policy some schools have adopted as a stop-gap measure, enrollment trends likely won’t see a reversal.

As such, it’s very difficult to envision any type of scenario where situations will improve without drastic changes that come directly from districts themselves at the ground floor.

While money is always a factor — it’s tough to examine the whopping salary and benefits packages for some of the superintendents in these tiny districts — the benefits go far beyond cost-savings.

As Westport and Elizabethtown-Lewis Central have already correctly pointed out, sharing wherever possible will allow them to position themselves better in the event of future unknowns.

There is no silver bullet to ward off the wolves at the door and turning a blind eye toward consolidation would be naïve.

Districts must do whatever it takes to ensure students receive a top-notch education, even if it means making tough decisions that challenge the very identity of their communities.

DrillingÊ deeperÊ onÊ MedicaidÊ taxiÊ issue To the Editor: I appreciate the headline coverage you recently gave to the issue of rogue Medicaid taxis. I would like to drill a little deeper to provide some more information that your readers may find useful.

The recent meeting referred to in Pete DeMola’s article was initiated and coordinated by myself and other staff at the Essex County Department of Social Services after compiling disparate allegations from clients, staff, relatives and other departments.

As Mr. DeMola’s article correctly points out, coordination of Medicaid Transportation was taken away from all counties by the NYS Department of Health about four years ago. Fortunately, ECDSS still retains two drivers who provide safe, timely medical transportation for some of our more vulnerable residents.

But since the DOH took over the bulk of transportation coordination, the Medicaid taxi business has exploded across the state.

The real and alleged allegations we are seeing now is the result of good intentions gone awry: the state intended to save tax dollars by contracting with one transportation company (MAS) to coordinate Medicaid transportation statewide. Instead, in prioritizing the use of taxis for medical appointments, the program created a demand for more and more expensive taxis.

In the process, it has been alleged that some less-scrupulous companies, with questionable driver hiring practices, have undercut legitimate local taxi companies and created fear amongst the elderly and medically frail.

Ironically, Medicaid transportation costs around the state have also skyrocketed, while at the same time, the much more affordable public transportation has lost Medicaid ridership.

As mentioned, ECDSS — though no longer with any official responsibility or authority regarding coordination of Medicaid transportation — compiled a long list of allegations and observations, and shared them in a meeting with MAS and DOH. MAS rightfully reinforced the importance of people using their taxi complaint process, and DOH shared this list of allegations with the Office of the Medicaid Inspector General (OMIG).

To our pleasant surprise, OMIG contacted DSS and asked if we would coordinate a meeting with Essex County law enforcement agencies to discuss what could be done.

The result was the meeting referred to in the article, held here at DSS, and attended by representatives of county administration, the Board of Supervisors, New York State Police, Essex County DA, Essex County Sheriff ’s Office, DSS, Probation, EC Public Transportation, the Ticonderoga Police Department, DOH and four investigators from OMIG. The conversation was clarifying, productive and action-oriented. And yes, OMIG and DOH will be meeting with all of us again in a few weeks to check on mutual progress.

We are confident that, collectively, we can improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of Medicaid taxi service here in Essex County.

John P. O’Neill, MPA, Commissioner Essex County Department of Social Services

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ThinkÊ longÊ andÊ hardÊ aboutÊ villageÊ dissolution

SpecialÊ thanksÊ toÊ respondersÊ overÊ busÊ accident To the editor: Earlier this month, colleagues and I hosted a group of 38 cadets and faculty from SUNY Maritime College for a weekend-long leadership training retreat at ESF’s Newcomb Campus. Shortly after beginning the trip home the bus on which they were travelling slid off the road just north of Minerva and rolled onto its roof.

This frightening experience could have been compounded by feelings of helplessness if the cadets had faced the aftermath of the accident alone. Instead, the experience was transformed by an overwhelming demonstration of community action, selflessness, comfort, and hospitality. All the qualities cadets had been learning over the weekend as young leaders were modeled by the generosity of emergency workers, volunteers and others from across our central Adirondack communities.

So many people contributed to assisting the cadets it is impossible to acknowledge everyone individually. However, we want to thank everyone associated with the following institutions and organizations for helping in countless ways to ensure the cadets were safe, cared for, and ultimately, able to return home that night.

Blue Mountain Lake EMS Bolton EMS, Glens Falls Hospital Indian Lake Volunteer Ambulance Corps Johnsburg EMS, Minerva Central School District Minerva Volunteer Fire Department / Rescue Squad, New York State Police, Troop B Schroon Lake Newcomb Volunteer Fire Department / EMS Rescue Squad North Creek Volunteer Fire Company, North River Volunteer Fire Company.

W. J. Mueller and Sons Adirondack Towing and Recovery Warrensburg EMS In particular, specific thanks are owed the State Police for their professionalism and compassion; all emergency squads for their immediate response and excellent aid; Superintendent Tim Farrell and his staff at Minerva Central School District for opening their school to us, establishing a triage and care center, preparing food, and providing a bus to deliver the remaining cadets to Glens Falls Hospital so they could rejoin those who had been injured; Billy Mueller and his team for retrieving the bus quickly and enabling a group of cadets to retrieve all the cadets’ belongings; and the staff at Glens Falls Hospital — not only for their excellent care but also for setting up a private room and welcoming the entire group while they waited for their fellow cadets to be released and the replacement tour bus to arrive. Providing dinner was greatly appreciated and just another step above and beyond anything expected. This experience will be a lifelong memory for all the cadets but not because of the bus accident. It will be because of how each of you responded in providing help.

“Thank you” is hardly adequate but — thank you all.

Paul B. Hai Associate Director, SUNY-ESF Northern Forest Institute ESF’s Newcomb Campus

WhenÊ doesÊ theÊ healingÊ begin?

To the Editor: Gee, Wally, according to Gary Guido things are real swell in America right now? Things are going so smoothly and efficiently that you’d think America was still the setting for a Leave It To Beaver episode.

No doubt he credits Pres. Obama for steering us into prosperity. However, the reality doesn’t match the message. Obama didn‘t have the least bit of economic expertise as he admitted those “shovel-ready jobs” weren’t as shovel-ready as he imagined. And he spent a boat load of borrowed money for very little economic gain.

Unemployment figures are a fabrication, too. Over 94 million people are out of work and have stopped looking. The labor participation rate hasn’t been this bad since the Jimmy Carter era. Moreover, data for GDP was a paltry half percent of one percent in the first quarter of 2016.

Guido’s argument that Wall Street is doing well looks good on paper, but is anyone’s 401K plan truly safe and secure in today’s global market?

Abroad, President Obama seems to only practice policies of appeasement and “leading from behind”. What is he doing about Putin’s European aggression? Or Kim Jong-Un’s North Korea unpredictability? Or China holding a ton of our debt and manipulating their currency? Or Assad’s Syrian refugee fiasco?

Obama is no prophet either when he said during his 2008 election speech, “This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.” My question to him is this, “When exactly does the healing begin, sir?”

To the Editor: In response to the letter to the editor in the Sun’s April 16 issue: I am not worried about losing my identity if the Village of Port Henry dissolves. The petition that is circulating is to give the registered voters a chance to vote on the plan. A plan that is non binding. This is all part of the process.

As far as the only thing you will lose is paying village taxes, that is not true. The village residents will be giving everything to the town, buildings, equipment, land and a beautiful beach with campsites. We will still have to pay our debt if we dissolve and pay the towns debt. We will also become a fire district and rent our own fire department building back.

In response to the hydro plant in Mineville, it has been in the works for many, many years. The village will benefit with school taxes and we do pay town taxes, if this project ever starts.

As far as trash, I called Ace Carting to be told its $35 to $40 a month depending on what size container you want. The $12 will not last.

Think long and hard on what you will lose.

ResponseÊ toÊ Ô BombÊ TrainsÕ To the Editor: On “Bomb Trains” Michael Calitri wrote a letter chastising those who oppose “crude oil transport by trains,” urging them to do research “before they shoot the North Country in the foot.”

Presumably he had in mind the letter sent by evironmental groups and others calling for a ban on Bakken oil trains. (Although Mr. Calitri referred to “advocates” of crude oil transport, I assume he meant opponents.)

I wish to point out that it is Mr. Calitri who should do more research because his letter contains major factual errors. I also wish to explain why environmentalists in New York and Vermont and citizens all along Lake Champlain and the Hudson River Valley are deeply frightened by and opposed to trains carrying Bakken crude oil from North Dakota.

1. The Bakken oil “bomb trains,” as many have labelled them, run from Montreal to Albany (some with over 100 tankers) as well as from Buffalo to Albany. And from Albany the oil is transported on barges down the Hudson River.

It seems Mr. Calitri does not realize that this is no ordinary crude. It is highly flammable. Yes, the disaster in Lac Mégantic, Quebec was the result of a runaway Bakken oil train, as Mr. Calitri writes, but it was the volatility of the Bakken crude that resulted in a massive explosion, kiling 47 people and decimating a large part of the town. Mr. Caletri says “crude oil in itself is not explosive.” But Bakken crude is highly explosive.

2. Most of the Bakken oil is transported in tank cars known as DOT-111s.

No one has claimed these are civil war era tank cars, as Mr. Calitri alleges.

Rather, as environmental groups point out, many bridges are of post-Civil War era infrastructure. The tank cars, however, designed to carry liquids like corn syrup, not oil, are dangerously prone to puncture. As far back as 1991 the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), warned that “the DOT 111 tanker . . . is too thin to resist puncture during an accident, is vulnerable to tearing, and has exposed fittings and valves that can easily snap off during a rollover..” Informed environmentalists believe an accident in which these tankers would derail and spill the oil into Lake Champlain would be an environmental catastrophe—so great that no insurance company would cover this risk.

3. Mr. Calitri says that transport of crude by train is as safe as air travel.

What evidence does he have for this assertion? There have been at least 13 derailments of Bakken oil trains in the last few years. And environmental groups have documented “more than 250 other oil carrying trains have derailed in the U.S. since 2013.” Many more are predicted. What New Yorkers get (as well as residents of others states through which the Bakken oil trains pass) is a dreadful risk to lives, towns, fishing, sailing, drinking water, wildlife and tourism. There is no gain for New York. Bakken oil does not stay in New York. It is shipped abroad where it will contribute further to climate change.

4. Mr. Calitri charges that opponents of oil trains have been uninformed, “quick to jump on the bandwagon” and have failed “to look to elected officials.” Not true. Very well informed are the 35 environmental groups in New York and Vermont, 30 elected and appointed officials and community leaders in both states, the Cities of Plattsburgh and Burlington, and a number of businesses who signed onto the letter to 4 Congresspersons and four Senators in New York and Vermont calling for a federal legislative ban on the transport of crude oil by train along Lake Champlain and the Hudson River. And they have looked to elected officials—national ones.

Because the bomb trains run in interstate commerce the letter was addressed to our elected representatives to Congress. Local elected officials have no authority over them. Why would the cities of Plattsburgh and Burlington sign on to the letter if they could address the problem themselves?

5. Mr. Calitri mentions a list of other environmental dangers to Lake Champlain. Yes, and Vermont has launched a new Clean Water initiative to address many of them. With a derailment of Bakken oil trains, clean-up inititives would be in vain.

COMMENTARY

Little Bits All about May Columnist

“Mother, May I?” Who remembers that game? I always lost when “mother” sent me backwards or sideways and I wasn’t clever enough to outsmart her.

But I did manage to hold my own in “Kick the Can,” “Red light, Green Light,” “Red Rover” and especially “Spin the Bottle.” Sadly, we don’t see neighborhood children playing many games outside these days.

It’s May. When I was a youngster growing up along the Grasse River, we never went inside at this time of year. Games were on the nearby school grounds in our tiny Massena Center community.

“One Old cat” was another favorite you might recall. I asked Kaye for her childhood game memories and she has many, including skipping rope and hop scotch on the sidewalk.

Marbles? Sure, but I never won. A neighbor, Jean Lacombe, always cleaned out all my mason jars. She was a sure shot and the bane of my mother who greeted me and my empty containers with, “You did it again. You let a girl beat you.” Yes, I did, and I’ve acknowledged their superiority ever since.

My late friend, Jack Glasgow, called it “mud season,” but this past winter was fairly snowless and spring rains were late in arriving, so there was less mud than usual.

May 1 has had great significance for civilizations far back into antiquity. If I mention “May Day,” most of you know what I mean. It’s always signified a spring festival of one kind or another.

I love horses and people who revere them. I once wrote a delightful ghost story about an artist named Bianca who lived in a haunted housed on Macomb Street in Plattsburgh. She draws and paints horses. On May 1, she wished me a “Happy Beltane.” If that word is strange to you, check it out as you celebrate this transition between winter and summer and hope for a bountiful growing season this year.

Beltane has always had a connection with fires; thus, “Fires of Bel.” He was a Celtic deity and huge bonfires were often lit to symbolically cleanse the area and make way for new growth. Before and on May 1 this year, I heard our Morrisonville fire siren ring numerous times for grass fires and intentional fires—some set maliciously by those who never heard of Beltane.

If you have Scottish heritage, you might already know of the modern version of the Gaelic Beltane festival in that country.

The fires are still lit, of course, but my favorite part is the home decorations involving beautiful May flowers. Of course, the feast is also an important feature of Beltane.

Celebrations all but disappeared in Ireland and Scotland for many years, but, since the late ‘80s, they have been revived in a big way. I love the mystical and sometimes paranormal beginnings of such celebrations and how they can still wield power for us today.

Bestowed with All-State honors, WCS’s Langworthy is headed for Hartwick

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — Student-athlete Erin Langworthy — who has shattered local high school basketball records over her career and thrilled fans in the process — is taking her game to Hartwick College in Oneonta this fall.

Over her years playing basketball at Warrensburg High School, she has amassed 1,906 points on varsity — the most ever at her school for either boys or girls basketball. Also, she has been named Adirondack League MVP for three consecutive years, a first for the school.

Just this week, she was named to the AllState First Team for Class C by the New York State Sportswriters Association. This is the third year in a row that Langworthy has been honored with this prestigious award.

Langworthy was the top scorer in Section II basketball in 2015-16 with 29 points per game, a tally which included 49 three-pointers. She has sunk 188 three-point field goals over her career.

Langworthy said she chose Hartwick because the returning basketball players and coaching staff were so friendly and welcoming — as well as the college being a good fit academically. Hartwick offers a strong educational program in sports training and physical therapy, a field which she plans on pursuing.

“I’m definitely excited about going to Hartwick,” Langworthy said May 3. “Visiting the campus overnight, I got the feeling it was ‘just right’ for me.”

On her visits to Hartwick, Langworthy

played pickup ball with the basketball team and socialized with the coaches, several of whom came to Warrensburg this season to watch Langworthy in action.

“I feel like with what I have to offer, I’m going to fit in well with the team,” Langworthy said. n 2015-16, the Hartwick Hawks finished 9-15 overall and 7-9 in their Empire 8 Conference. In two of the last three seasons, the team has competed in the Empire 8 championship games, advanced twice to the NCAA Division III tournament, won an Eastern College Athletic Conference title — and tallied 66 victories over the last three seasons.

Playing ball for Warrensburg High, Langworthy for years has been double-teamed while she has sunk shots from all over the

court.

She’s not only an outstanding outside shooter, but she’s cagey at weaving her way through defenders as she charges to the basket to score. She can switch directions fast and make unexpected moves — both of which draw fouls, and she’s an expert for sinking free throws, many of them resulting in three-point plays.

She’s also renowned for driving to the basket dribbling with her left hand, although she is right-handed.

Among her record-breaking feats is scoring the most points, 51, in a single game — which she accomplished in December against Corinth, on a night when she set the new girls basketball career scoring record.

On defense, Langworthy is remarkable at anticipating other players’ moves, forcing plenty of turnovers.

Warrensburg Girls Basketball Coach Scott Smith said Langworthy’s been dedicated to the sport ever since the second grade.

“Erin made up her mind many years ago she wanted to re-write the local sports history books, and she put in the time and effort to make it happen,” Smith said. “Her dedication and effort made the difference.”

Smith said that one aspect of that dedication was never missing a single practice throughout her four-year varsity career.

“Whether she was sick or hurt, she just battled through,” he said.

Exhibiting her trademark modesty, Langworthy deferred credit to her teammates.

“I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish what I did without my teammates — and all the support behind me,” she said.

Warrensburg High School Principal Doug Duell said Langworthy’s dedication and work ethic have inspired other athletes at the school.

“Erin’s an outstanding role model for other students,” he said, noting she is also one of the top 120 students academically in her class.

ABOVE: All-Star basketball player Erin Langworthy of Warrensburg High School (center) shares hugs with her teammates in Jan. 2015 after she surpassed 1,000 career points. Langworthy went on to nearly double that record, shattering a half-dozen school records, which include being named to the New York State All-Star First Team for three years in a row. This week Langworthy announced she will be playing basketball at Hartwick College while she’s pursuing the academic field of sports training and therapy.

Open house at Warrensburg EMS to provide free emergency alert lights

Porch lights designed to alert first responders in emergencies

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — Area residents will have a new way of alerting emergency responders through a program the local ambulance squad is launching at a public event the agency is conducting soon.

Warrensburg Emergency Medical Services is holding an Open House Saturday May 14, and the event — complete with children’s bounce house, food, tours and a silent auction — will include launching their “Lighting the Way to You” program.

This latter public-service campaign features distributing special light bulbs to be used as porch lights that can be activated to flash repeatedly to alert EMTs, police and firefighters to the site of an emergency.

Area residents can sign up at the agency’s Open House to have the bulbs installed at no charge by a member of Warrensburg EMS. The Open House is set for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m, at the squad’s headquarters, at 3 King St. in Warrensburg, behind the local Family Dollar store. The silent auction, featuring an array of donated goods and services, concludes at 1:30 p.m.

Warrensburg EMS Operations Manager Steve Emerson said the special bulbs will help protect the health and safety of area citizens.

“Having this special light bulb will make it far easier for any emergency responder to find you when you need them,” he said.

The bulb can be operated as a normal light, but its flashing can be activated by turning it on, off and on in quick succession.

People unable to attend the open house may call the squad at 6623-4911 or Emerson at 2320817 and request an installation.

“We at Warrensburg EMS are very excited to be offering this program to the people we serve,” Emerson said, noting that the agency’s open house will also feature agency members providing tips on cardio-pulmonary resuscitation.

“We invite all people in the region to stop in and participate in our open house activities,” he said. “Also, we’ll warmly welcome anyone who is seeking to become a member.”

SUNY Adirondack nursing program growing, adapting

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

QUEENSBURY — The nursing program at SUNY Adirondack was established at the same time the college, then known as Adirondack Community College, was formed in 1961.

The program has evolved along with the college, with some of the most impressive improvements coming by way of technology.

Who would have predicted, 55 years ago at the program’s inception, that the students would one day be learning from mannequins in a simulation lab or be benefitting from the upcoming 26,500-square-foot $17 million nursing, science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) facility?

The school has approximately 220 students in the program at any time. The flexibility of the program draws in a variety of students.

“Some are right out of high school,” said Donna Healy, Health Sciences division chair. “Some are coming from the military or other careers.”

Library to host wine tasting, auction CHESTERTOWN — The Friends of the Chestertown Library will be holding their annual Wine Tasting and Silent Auction Sunday, May 15, at the BullHouse Restaurant, from 2 until 5 p.m. Tickets are $30 per person. Reservation forms are available at the Library’s website at chesterlibrary.org or may be sent directly to the Library at PO Box 451, Chestertown, NY 12817.

The BullHouse will be providing a selection of hors d’oeuvres and wines to taste. Many local businesses and ar-

The school also sees many men and women looking to return to the workforce, having stayed home to raise a family first.

That diverse collection of students brings in some great experiences and growth fro each class, as well.

“It’s really delightful to see students helping each other,” said Healy.

Though not always the case, often younger students will have a greater exposure to technology, while older students will bring in a bit more life experience.

The program has seen some increases in enrollment of male students, most recently tallied at 11 percent.

Some students attend part time, while others attend fulltime. While the program can be completed in two years, some will take longer, according to what works best for them.

The department has a staff of nine, including Healy. Students also receive the benefit of 20 to 22 adjunct faculty and clinical supervision in area hospitals.

“Academically, it’s a rigorous curriculum,” said Healy, but it’s working. The most recent statistics show 90 percent passed

the board exam the first time.

“That’s higher than state average,” said Healy.

Admissions are conducted twice yearly, for the spring and fall semesters. Students are accepted to SUNY Adirondack first, then need to apply specifically to the nursing program.

That acceptance is based on grade point average, personal interview and a writing sample.

The two-year program, however, isn’t the school’s final mission.

“Our message is this is an entry to practice. It is essential to continue with a Bachelor’s Degree,” said Healy.

SUNY Adirondack has articulation agreements with more than a dozen four-year colleges.

SUNY Plattsburgh has offered online courses for some time, but now maintains face-to-face classes on the Queensbury campus.

“It’s good for our community and local hospitals,” said Healy, about not only encouraging continued education, but offering it locally. “You can get your Bachelor’s Degree in four years on this campus.”

tisans have donated items and gift certificates which will be sold in the Silent Auction. There will also be a raffle of some wonderful gift baskets. All proceeds from the event go to support the ongoing services and programs of the Chestertown Library.

Church of Warrensburg, from 9:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Keynote speaker will be Kathy Hammond featuring Wade Hammond as the musical guest. The theme of this conference is “When Life Gives You Lemons.” The program focuses on how to overcome the trials and tribulations of everyday life through the teachings of Jesus Christ. The cost of this program is $20 per person, which includes a light lunch. Preregistration is required by sending a check to the North River United Methodist Church, PO Box 218, North River, NY 12856. The deadline is Friday, June 3. For more information, contact Amy Sabattis at 251-2519.

In Horicon, a $100,000 award is on its way.

Supervisor Matt Simpson said the town already spends “in excess of $45,000” each year in labor for the stewards.

Horicon has worked on water quality issues for many years with the East Shore Schroon Lake Association, the Schroon Lake Association and the Brant Lake Association, said Simpson.

Boat launch stewards are already managed by the East Shore Schroon Lake Association on Schroon Lake and by

the Brant Lake Association on Brant Lake. Horicon will use the grant funds to increase coverage by the boat launch stewards at both lakes.

“This will mean more hours and more education for the protection of the lakes,” he said.

thing, you should go ahead and take action, not just grumble about it, he said. “Don gently twists arms; he gets people to do amazing things.”

Chamber president Karen Smith offered similar observations.

“Don brainstorms a lot of different and incredible ideas — he picks the people, and away they go,” she said. “He’s an exceptional leader, and the Alliance has accomplished so much for the community.”

Brant Lake Winter Carnival became a signature off-season event in the region in its first year. The Chestertown Farmers’ Market from its beginning swamped the town in a crowd and sparked new commerce in town. The shows the Alliance has presented in the Carol Theatre, many of them sellouts, have revived the shuttered theater and provided regional musical and dramatic groups with a new venue while offering new activities for local citizens. Butler’s campaign for a downtown infrastructure improvement has brought new businesses to town.

NORTH WARREN — An entrepreneur who has been credited with a social and economic revival of area communities and an enterprise that’s for a century has been a mainstay of the region’s economy are to be honored this next week at a banquet sponsored by the North Warren Chamber of Commerce.

Don Butler has been named V.I.P. of the Year and Brant Lake Camp has been honored as Business of 2016 by the North Warren Chamber of Commerce. The awardees 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 has been extended to 4:30 p.m. Monday May 9. Reservations can be made by calling the chamber at 494-2722 this week or contacting chamber president Karen Smith at 494-2691.

Brant Lake Camp is an area landmark

Butler renowned for local activism Don Butler is known throughout northern Warren County for not only operating the Panther Mountain Inn and Brant Lake Taxi, but for founding the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance in 2011.

This community organization has launched more than a half-dozen annual events and attractions in the communities of Chestertown and Brant Lake that have become immensely popular, and have re-energized community spirit, area citizens have said.

“We are recognizing Don Butler for his outstanding leadership in our community in inspiring transformative events that have significantly boosted the quality of our lives,” Chamber official Barbara Repp said, noting that he and his Alliance associates have developed and promoted the Chestertown Farmers’ Market, Rum-Runners Weekend, Brant Lake Winter Carnival, Taste of Tri-Lakes, Adirondack Woofstock, the weekly Chestertown Car Hop & Cruise In, the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade and many other events like wine tastings and socials, as well as the revival of the Carol Theater with live entertainment.

Repp also noted that Butler has offered vital community service through his businesses, both by hosting events at the

Don Butler North Warren V.I.P. of the Year Panther Mountain Inn and by providing transportation to medical care, particularly for seniors.

Butler has also been a proponent, along with the other Alliance members, of constructing an affordable sewer system for the hamlet, promoting downtown beautification and infrastructure improvement, and diverting tourists off the Northway and enjoying the amenities of the local communities.

Chamber Vice President Brandon Himoff of Point O’ Pines Camp said Butler has inspired others to achieve what many thought couldn’t be accomplished in the region.

“Don’s a believer that if you have a concern with some-

The directors/owners of Brant Lake Camp, awarded as Business of the Year by the North Warren Chamber of Commerce, include (left to right): Karen Gerstenzang Meltzer, Richard Gersten, Bobby Gersten, Andy Berlin and Annemiek Gersten. (Not pictured: Dave Cramoy.)

Brant Lake Camp, founded in 1916, has been a very important part of the community for 100 years, Repp said. Not only has it provided hundreds of vital jobs and income for dozens of local contractors, but it has also boosted the social and economic scene, Repp said.

“Brant Lake Camp has been an important part of our local economy, bringing in generations of young children, their families and staff who support businesses in our community and, for some, even become inspired to live here,” Repp said.

“The Camp has been a constant in our area through the dramatic changes that the last century has brought us.”

She noted that the camp started with tents on the hill and over the decades it became a state-of-the-art facility for modern sports and recreation.

The camp’s owners, the Gerstenzang, Meltzer and Gersten families, have provided key support to more than a dozen local organizations, Repp added.

Sally Joiner of the Friends of the Horicon Library noted their support for her group and others. She has worked at the camp for about 30 years.

“The camp owners are wonderful people — they take care of their family and friends and they also help the community in every way they can,” she said noting that the Gerstenzangs, Meltzers and Gerstens donate not only money, but the use of their facilities for activities and events, as well as helping out at community functions. “They are very kind and generous people, and they are a really big part of Brant Lake.”

Himoff noted not only their generosity, but how they’ve very successfully maintained a camping experience that combines traditional camp activities with new innovative attractions, rather than converting solely to special interest, shortterm camp sessions.

“There aren’t an enormous number of historic camps continuing traditional character-building camp activities as well as sports,” he said. “Brant Lake Camp is a survivor, enduring everything including world wars, and they are still very healthy.”

Area historian Tom Johansen, whose uncle was one of Brant Lake Camp’s original campers, noted that the camp has inspired generations of families to settle in Horicon.

“Over many decades, people have sent their kids to Brant Lake Camp, they discover the area and love it so much they build houses up here,” he said. “They’ve turned it into a summer home area.”

Those seeking to participate in celebrating the achievements and legacy of Don Butler and Brant Lake Camp are urged to make their reservations as soon as possible.
