Teens, 5th graders share benefits of mentor program Warrensburg High program pairs students with fifth graders

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — Once a week, students from Warrensburg High School attend a gathering at the elementary school to meet with a group of fifth graders.

It’s part of a nine-week mentoring program that pairs student athletes with a younger students, and so far, it’s been wildly successful.

“I thought this could be something positive for the kids,” said Mike Perrone, who coaches varsity basketball at the high school.

He drew inspiration from a similar mentoring program he participated in while attending Castleton University in Vermont. He combined some of those aspects with knowledge he gained while running the summer recreation program in Warrensburg.

“There’s an academic component, too,” he said.

Each week, the highschoolers meet with their younger student in the cafeteria where they share lunch. If the weather allows, they move to the recreation field outside.

A new topic is posed each session. Monday, both the men-

tor and their student worked on goal setting, creating five goals to accomplish before the end of the school year.

Fifth-grader Francesca Lang considered her choices with her mentor, Madison Sheridan.

Lang decided on an improved math grade, being nicer to her brother, going on a hike and healthy eating. Both added keeping their rooms cleaner to their lists.

They also had some follow-up discussion on the previous week’s meeting. Last week, the group focused on completing kind acts for others.

Once the students have completed their tasks, they head outside for some fun for the remainder of the period. >> See MENTOR| pg. 4

Bolton bronze gets a facelift Thirteen markers have been restored in time for Memorial Day

Kristen Rohne, the Lake George Association’s Director of Education, has been elected to serve on the Board of Directors of the New York State Federation of Lake Associations at the Federation’s recent annual conference in Hamilton. “We are stronger together,” said Rohne. “Our lakes don’t exist in a vacuum, so it is important to share the message of water protection and share tips to make that happen so we are all protected and knowledgeable. NYSFOLA is a powerful tool that allows us all to collaborate, share knowledge and share experiences. I am proud and humbled to be elected to the Board.”

BOLTON — The Veterans’ Memorial in the center of town is looking better and brighter and after a week-long restoration completed earlier this month.

All 13 bronze works, including two impressive statues, were part of the project, which also brought a clean-up and refreshed landscaping.

“This is really a beautiful park,” said Elizabeth Hockler, of Beacon Fine Arts, Brewster. That compliment means a lot when coming from Hockler, who travels the country restoring bronze pieces with company owner, Insun Kim. Kim was atop a hydraulic lift last week, finishing the work on the 18-foot tall WWI-era Doughboy statue that’s overlooked Lake Shore Drive since 1921.

Hockler focused her attention to bronze markers, each signifying a branch of military service. The work on a battlefield marker was finished. Behind her was a near-complete restoration of the Scout, a WWII-Korean Conflict-era soldier statue. It awaited a coating of wax.

The statue was installed in the park in 2001, when resident and veteran Buck Bryan helped form a committee to oversee the property after it had fallen into disrepair.

The committee commissioned for the new statue, along with a wall that now proudly lists 926 Bolton Veterans who defended the nation from the Revolutionary War to present conflicts all over the world. Bryan now chairs the committee, which continues to maintain the park.

For Hockler, seeing the Scout was like seeing an old friend.

Adirondack Safari offers local adventure, comfort

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

DIAMOND POINT — A safari-themed venture bringing safari-themed adventure to the Lake George region is quickly gaining a

lot of fans, while eyeing a expansion throughout the Adirondacks.

With just 12 weeks in operation last season, Mark and Jennifer Matteo and their son, Nicholas, earned more than 13,000 fans on their Facebook page and have streamlined

their delivery of services.

Last season, Mark and Jennifer set up their offerings, safari-styled tents that sleep two, four or six around the area. The tents are complete with real beds and comfortable linens.

“There’s no sleeping on the ground, here,” said Jennifer of the unique camping experience.

It’s that experience that drew so many guests last year, half right from the area.

This year, they’ve set up 20 camp sites at Lake George Escape Campground, 175 E. Schroon River Road, as part of Adirondack Safari Village, which they will operate. They are looking for additional campgrounds in the Adirondack interested in bringing their business to their grounds.

For the Matteos, it eliminates the travel time, set up and break down of the sites each week, one of the same reasons so many are attracted to the idea.

Families that may only want to camp a few days a year will not have to store camping gear year-round or incur the expenses of owning the equipment.

There’s no prep time or exhaustive clean up when it’s time to leave.

“We take care of all of that,” said Jennifer.

Instead, guests can focus on nature and the many recreational activities the Adirondacks has to offer.

“They just show up and start the party,” she said.

Mark and Jennifer have more than 40 years combined experience in the hospitality industry. Nicholas is polishing his hospitality skills, as well.

“He always greets everyone and makes sure everyone has a brochure,” said Jennifer.

By popular demand, safari-themed weddings, family reunions, corporate events and other activities can still be booked with the Matteos.

For more information or to book at stay visit adirondacksafari.com or find Adirondack Safari on Facebook.

Knowles, Connelly-Howe to be honored alongside Cronin’s Golf

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — The Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce will be honoring two citizens and a prominent local business at an awards banquet this next week.

Bridgette Connelly-Howe and Peggy Knowles have both been named the Chamber’s “Citizen of the Year” and Cronin’s Golf Resort has been named “Business of the Year.”

Their awards are to be celebrated at a recognition dinner set for Wednesday May 25 at The Grist Mill Restaurant. Cocktails and socializing begin at 5:30 p.m., followed by a buffet-style dinner featuring sliced steak and maple chicken at 6:30 p.m.

The cost of the dinner is $25 per person, including tax and gratuity. Reservations accompanied by payment are to be made by Friday May 20 to: Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce, 3839 Suite 2 Main St., Warrensburg, NY 12885. For details, call the Chamber at 623-2161.

Knowles: a dedicated volunteer Eighty years young, Peggy Knowles is known for her community involvement, particularly for beautifying and gardening work throughout town as well as assisting with area events.

Knowles conducts the Warrensburgh Historical Society’s annual Sticky Wicket event, helps out with Christmas in Warrensburgh, and assists with chores at the weekly Warrensburgh Farmers’ Market — and she bakes pies for the latter venue’s special events.

Also, Knowles has been a been a proponent of efforts to preserve Warrensburg’s architectural integrity, as well as assisting with the activities of St. Cecilia’s Catholic Church.

From 1969 to just a few years ago, she’s been active in maintaining the Hickory Hill ski center, clearing trails.

Knowles moved into town 2006 with her husband primarily so she didn’t have to commute to North Creek or Warrensburg to ski, one of her favorite activities. Hiking is another favorite of hers — last year on her 80th birthday, she hiked Giant Mountain, which raised her tally of Adirondack highpeak conquests to 10 — all accomplished since she was age 78.

Knowles also enjoys kayaking, particularly up the Raquette and Schroon rivers as well as on Indian Lake and Thirteenth Lake.

Although her outdoor activities might have been her reason to relocate in Warrensburg, she said her move has pro-

Connelly-Howe

vided additional benefits.

“We’ve met so many fantastic people, and we’re very happy about it,” she said.

Connelly-Howe seeks to help others Bridgette Connelly-Howe has also been deeply involved with community life and volunteer work.

Bridgette Connelly-Howe is known for dedicating many hours to various community groups, as well as planning and promoting various community events.

Originally a member of the Greater Warrensburg Business Alliance, Connelly-Howe is now events chairman for the Warrensburg Chamber. Connelly-Howe also coaches youth softball and tutors adults.

Connelly-Howe moved from downstate to Warrensburg in 2011, and in fewer than five years, she’s had quite an impact.

Active in the Greater Warrensburg Business Alliance, she helped launch The Taste of Warrensburg, and assisted in strategizing and conducting the Shop Local Saturday, the local Car Hop events and the Chamber of Commerce’s upcoming debut golf tournament.

“I started volunteering in 2012 primarily to meet local people, but then I liked the energy of working with others to make things happen — and I love the fun of it all,” she said.

Connelly-Howe volunteers through the Friends of Richards Library, helping start an adult book club and launching other programs. She now serves on the library’s Board of Trustees.

Just prior to moving to Warrensburg, Connelly-Howe was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a rare connectivetissue disease. After a lifesaving operation conducted at Albany Medical Center, she had to learn to walk again.

“None of the surgeons expected me to survive this,” she said. “At time of my diagnosis, I was only 22 years old — my life was turned upside down.”

Due to the syndrome, she had to substantially shelve her blossoming teaching and coaching career, although she does substitute teach in Warrensburg and coaches the Warrensburg-North Warren team of the Tri-County Softball League.

She was a softball pitcher in college.

Her volunteer work, primarily in Warrensburg, has been rewarding and life-enriching, she said.

“I’m involving myself in activities that make me happy while making a difference in the community,” she said.

“I’m not going to let this illness take over my life,” she continued. “I’m going to make a difference by helping people around me.”

Cronin’s Golf Resort recognized Located on Hudson Street Extension in Warrensburg, Cronin’s Resort was named the best golf course in the Adirondacks in Adirondack Life’s 2014 readers’ choice awards. in announcing the award, the magazine noted Cronin’s Golf Resort’s mountain views, riverside location, well-maintained greens and “friendly, unpretentious vibe.”

Also, Cronin’s has for decades hosted local student golfers at a quite modest rate, as well as sponsoring and hosting numerous community events.

“She usually beats me,” said Sheridan of the games she plays with Lang.

Perrone is aided by Laura Uhly, in running the program.

At first, Perrone recalled, he was concerned about getting enough volunteer mentors.

“We ended up with about 60,” he said of the encouraging turnout. Space limitations forced the honing down to about 20 mentors serving 20 students.

Fifth graders were chosen as they still have an additional year at the elementary school, which Perrone hopes will assist in their transition to the high school in the future.

Elizabeth Duell plays field hockey like her mentor, junior Riley Fisk.

While 20 fifth-graders were selected by school staff as to who may benefit the most, all students are welcome to visit with the mentors during lunch.

Sophomore Cole Lanfear was one who had several boys gathered around him.

When Lanfear was asked why he was cho-

sen to be a mentor, fifth-grader Jack Putney answered for him.

“Because he’s awesome,” he said. Putney is not in the program, but makes sure he spends time with the mentors each week.

Senior Jason Baker and fifth-grader Christopher Lambeth were paired together and the match is going well. Lambeth reported he’s having “a lot of fun.”

Baker said, “I think I’m learning more from him. I’m definitely learning more than I thought I would.”

Perrone said the relationship is definitely reciprocal.

Having the student athletes as the mentors adds a level of excitement for the younger ones.

“They know these kids names,” he said.

Some of the mentors reported the students showing interest in the sports in which they participate.

The mentorship add an extra level of responsibility for the teens.

“It’s definitely had a positive impact on everyone,” he said.

think we can all agree that America is in a period of sharp and rapid change. The real question: is this change for the good or change for the sake of change?

Most change is gradual, providing time for discussion, reflection and adjustment.

Sadly in today’s fast-paced society, change and reaction may be coming faster than we can deal with and overloading an already overloaded system.

Several stories in the news this past week reflect the nation’s growing frustration with unexpected changes.

First, let’s take the folks at the TSA. Long wait times and poor performance testing in technology, procedures and human errors have pushed the flying public to the brink.

TSA Administrator Peter Neffenger recently admitted there are 5,000 fewer security screeners on the job today compared to just a few years ago. Roughly 117 walk off the job each week and 35 percent within the first year, Neffenger told Congress last week. With nearly three million passengers passing through TSA lines each day, they simply do not have the manpower.

Calls from both sides of the aisle calling for privatizing the TSA may force government to throw in the towel in yet another huge failing of a government program.

Another unexpected change thrown at school districts around the nation came last week when President Obama told administrators, as a condition of receiving federal funds, transgender students must be allowed to access facilities consistent with their gender identity.

While schools are permitted to provide single use facilities, they can not require transgender students to use them over male or female facilities, even if other students, parents or community members object.

While no specific numbers define how many students currently consider themselves to be transgender, it appears school districts with larger transgender populations have already been dealing with these issues. Other school districts, with little or no transgender students have installed single use facilities as a compromise for those students conflicted with gender.

Add these issues to the many issues already brewing in this year’s election cycle and there is no doubt we are in for a fierce battle between two candidates who have high unfavorables, forcing the electorate to choose between issues and personalities.

Lodge at Boreas Ponds should stay or be relocated to serve as a visitors center

D

ignitaries gathered last week in front of a pristine lake in North Hudson to announce what is anticipated to be the final in a series of large-scale acquisitions by the state, the 20,758-acre Boreas Ponds

Tract.

Frequently referred to as the “crown jewel” of the former Finch Pruyn land holdings, the Manhattan-sized tract in the High Peaks region contains an astonishing spread of ecological diversity, from alpine-type summits to lowland forest, all teeming with life.

Now that the ink is dry, the land classification process begins.

For the first time, North Hudson will gain an access point to the High Peaks Wilderness.

The discussion is sure to ignite what’s expected to be the latest in a long, grinding clash between advocates of access, who would like to see the lands remain opened up to motorized vehicles, and preservationists, who prefer to see as little human impact as possible.

Both sides have compelling arguments.

But no matter which side of the ideological spectrum you fancy, we strongly believe that the more user groups that have the opportunity to enjoy the land, the more positively it will impact not only the region, but the entire state.

That’s why it’s a shame that the sprawling lodge once used by timber executives will be torn down this spring.

Doing so, we think, is counterproductive.

Located seven miles from the hardtop, the lodge could serve a myriad of purposes.

As the population ages, the building could be used as a respite for sportsmen who are no longer able to climb mountain trails, wade through rivers and access back country ponds.

After all, the state has slammed the door on hundreds of hunting clubs that allowed motorized back country access to a generation who would not have been able to take advantage of it otherwise.

And we are all going to get old someday.

It could also serve as a home base for those who have never had a chance to experience that firsthand.

Other potential uses abound, from a possible education center to a sportsmen’s museum.

Last week, the Nature Conservancy announced they’d sweeten the transaction deal with $750,000 in grant money to promote economic development projects.

The organization should be commended for their largess, which is just the latest in a long string of generous financial contributions to the communities surrounding the vast tract of land holdings.

But we can’t help but think that those funds could be better used as seed money for a possible visitor center that will help disabled people who also want to take advantage of the serene natural setting.

After all, the gorgeous facility is already handicap accessible.

This is in line with a number of stakeholders who have said they want to make the Adirondack Park more diverse and accessible to as many user groups as possible.

We concede little will save the lodge from the wrecking ball.

We’ve been told local officials are hashing out a possible plan for the former Frontier Town site with state brass.

So here’s an idea: Disassemble the building piece-by-piece and reconstruct it elsewhere, say, off Exit 29 of the Adirondack Northway, where it can serve as a link to the past and greet those who visit in the future.

Brand it as a testament to compromise. In a state so divisive, that’s something everyone should enjoy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

AÊ safetyÊ tipÊ forÊ roadÊ crews

ResponseÊ toÊ MedicaidÊ taxiÊ editorial

To the Editor: While on my morning commute across Route 74 this week, I have noticed several times an unsafe practice by road crews.

While putting signs out warning oncoming traffic of road work ahead, the crews park their vehicle in their lane of traffic while they all get out to set up a sign.

While I totally understand the need for warning signs and value their importance in the safety of drivers and workers alike, the practice of leaving their vehicle in the roadway while they set the signs up seems unsafe.

Flashing lights on or not, it could become a deadly situation very quickly.

The situation could have been much safer if they had just pulled ahead another 50 feet and pulled off into a driveway to get their signs ready.

Today, there was a loaded pulp truck ahead of me, and one unloaded oncoming at the point that they were parked in the road with several vehicles following closely behind.

With so many distracted drivers in today’s society, I think taking all precautions available seems not like a smart idea, but one that must be done every time.

To all road crews and construction workers: Please help all people on the roads become safer by pulling off to the side of the road during these times. It may save my life or yours.

John Swinton Schroon Lake

To the Editor: So, what is the source of the Medicaid taxi problem that Essex County is forced to deal with.

Barron’s financial publication compares the increase in Medicaid services to a three-card Monte game at the state and federal level with the taxpayers as the suckers.

Here’s how it works.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his NYS Dept. of Health create an enhanced transportation structure for Medicaid folks by using taxi’s. The taxi structure then pays the State taxes and fees. The state then uses the money from the taxes and fees to create additional Medicaid services. The new taxi providers are happy to pay the taxes and fees because they are guaranteed payment from the state. The Fed then happily reimburses all of it since they also want more services for Medicaid and Medicare to accommodate the Obamacare wealth redistribution objectives.

Nifty huh!

Obamacare was packaged and gifted to you though lies and deceit, not unlike the Iranian nuke deal. Both have cost an enormous amount of nonbudgeted tax dollars which has helped Obama double your national debt.

Over the next couple of years, health costs will be transferred more directly to you and you will be paying, as they say in the old country, up the yin yang.

Unless you are among those who get it for free, such as illegal aliens. The insurance companies are dropping out of health care so eventually a massive central government will control it all, probably as efficiently as they control the Veterans Administration.

When Obama told you he was going to change America he wasn’t kidding. Cuomo uses the same playbook. Their progressive social justice agenda is expensive, but they don’t concern themselves with how to pay for it.

Clinton and Sanders are promising more social justice. Free college, plus transfer $1 trillion of existing student debt to you. I trust you no longer believe that fairy tale about Wall St. paying for everything. It’s a pretty old story with little result.

Ken Fenimore Elizabethtown

NursingÊ programÊ anÊ assetÊ Ê To the Editor: I am pleased with your piece about the nursing program at SUNY Adirondack in the May 7 edition of the Sun. I attended the nursing program at Plattsburgh way back in 1962. After three semesters, I left and was accepted into the nursing program at ACC. I remember even then that the instructors advised us to continue with our education and obtain a BSN. I graduated in 1966 while working part time for Dr. Richard Hogan and then worked at Glens Falls Hospital as an RN for a time until moving to North Carolina.

When our family returned to the North Country, I started working as a Community Mental Health Nurse, a job that I thoroughly enjoyed. I am now retired. I occasionally see nursing students studying at Panara Bread and stop to chat, telling my tale and trying to encourage them.

I met my husband at ACC, one of our sons graduated from ACC and now a grandson has signed up for the Cisco program. Having a community college in our area is an asset and one that I hope will continue successfully long into the future.

It’s interesting to me that now SUNY Plattsburgh offers classes for a BSN. I have two granddaughters who want to pursue careers in the health care field and are thinking of colleges out of the area. I sincerely hope they will consider SUNY Adirondack first.

FullÊ FrontierÊ TownÊ storyÊ notÊ told To the Editor: Your newspaper’s article did not even tell half the story! Why is the county still on the hook for this property when it could have been sold a few years ago?

TrumpitusÊ isÊ sweepingÊ theÊ nation To the Editor: This country is now in the grip of a major health crisis. The new disease (Trumpitus) is now sweeping across the land. Symptoms of this malady are blind belief in a demagogue who has no credible solutions to anything and denial of any and all facts that do not conform to their point of view.

At this time, no known cure for this affliction is available, but hope for the best.

COMMENTARY

Little Bits A drink called “switchel” Gordie Little

Columnist

M

y father was a poor preacher who was often compensated in fresh vegetables by his rural congregation. We ate well, but had little cash on hand.

If my brother and I wanted a baseball glove or balsa wood airplane, we had to earn it somehow. I seem to recall fifty cents an hour as the going wage until I was a teenager and could do the work of a man in the fields.

I mowed lawns for a skinflint.

He has long been deceased, so there is no threat of retaliation.

He owned a gas-powered mower, but it languished in his barn while I was forced to struggle with an old-fashioned reel-type push mower.

I was never given a drink to quench my thirst and always guzzled down lots of water before he picked me up for the day’s work. Besides lawn mowing, I was tasked with cleaning rat droppings from his granary. I was also given gunny sacks and sent into his pastures to pull up bags and bags of invasive weeds.

Those were lessons learned the hard way. As the years went on, I began seasonal work on another farm where I was proud to become as physically strong as the adult farm hands. I was paid to work beside them in the hay fields and stooking grain as well as carrying heavy bags of oats to the granary.

It was thirsty business and the womenfolk made sure all the hired help had plenty of satiating liquids. For years as an older adult, I struggled to remember what they called an odd, but satisfying liquid that was brought to us in the fields.

Then, it came to me. Switchel.

That’s what it was. Have you ever heard of it? It was also referred to as haymaker’s punch or ginger-water. I scoured the Internet and discovered the recipe ingredients: Vinegar and water, ginger, along with maple syrup, molasses, honey or brown sugar.

Sometimes, lemon was added to the mix.

Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. It worked for us on hot days under the blazing sun and in the stifling hay mows. I didn’t know it before researching for this column, but have learned that this wonderful beverage is now being bottled and sold nationwide.

Laura Ingalls Wilder, wellknown to us in the North Country for “Little House on the Prairie” and for the homestead near Malone, wrote about a similar drink made for the farm workers while haying.

I found various beverages marketed as switchel in New York State, Vermont and other states. There are also alcoholic versions with ale and stout that I have never tried but would consider it in the future.

If the word switchel is foreign to you, ask an old farmer. And while you’re at it, have him tell you more stories of days gone by.

One Hundred Years Ago – May, 1916 Time to go home Alvin “Sam” Pasco, of Thurman, who is serving a ten year term in Clinton Prison, Dannemora, for stealing timber from lands in his native town, is endeavoring by legal actions to regain his freedom. His case was argued before the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in Albany on Tuesday, May 1, 1916 on appeal from the sentence imposed four years ago by Judge George S. Raley in Warren County Court.

The motion was denied and Pasco will have to begin all over again. He will fight for his freedom undoubtedly as long as his money holds out. It is said he secured a considerable amount some time ago from the sale of part of his property in Thurman. His argument is that he should be liberated on the ground that his sentence of ten years was too severe for the crime to which he pleaded guilty.

Burned to the ground John E. Priest’s Garnet Lake Camp in the town of Johnsburgh, conducted as a summer resort, burned to the ground on Tuesday evening, May 1, 1916 with all of its contents.

There was no one staying in the building and the origin of the fire is a mystery. About $6,000 is the estimated loss.

New Leland House The new Leland House, at Schroon Lake, was enlarged during the past winter months by an annex which provides fiftytwo additional sleeping rooms and will on May 27th open for the 1916 season with accommodations for 525 guests. The Grill Room has also been enlarged providing a seating capacity for 600 people.

Hon. Louis W. Emerson and Michael O’Connor, who have charge of the landscape gardening at the Leland House, began

their duties on May 11, 1916.

Last year was the first season of the new Leland House which was built to replace the old structure which was burned on Halloween night in 1914. The patronage last season was the largest in the history of the hotel which has been established for many years. It has been owned for the past 23 years by Senator James A. Emerson and his brother, Louis W. Emerson, both of Warrensburgh, who have conducted it as a summer hotel which has enjoyed a large automobile patronage with parties which came to the hotel from all parts of the country and always found a hearty welcome and royal entertainment.

Senator James A. Emerson has proved himself to be a prince of hotelmen.

A letter home to mother Lincoln Williams, son of Henry Williams, of Warrensburgh, who about a year ago enlisted in the United States Army in Troop B., Second Cavalry and was for some time stationed at Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont, is now at Fort Myer, Virginia and writes his parents that he expects to be sent to Mexico should our unpleasant relations with that country continue, as part of his regiment is there now. The young man expresses himself as well pleased with his soldier life.

recently. Mr. Woodward was trying to lead the animal from the street to the barn and she was bound to go the other way.

He was thrown from his feet and dragged a considerable distance but clung to the rope until his face was badly scratched and his head injured. Dr. Goodman was called to attend him.

(Note – David Woodward’s home was on the north corner of River Street and Ridge Street. His daughter, Ella Haskell later lived there for many years before it became the Don Egan residence.)

Summer time at last There was a heavy frost on the morning of May 10, 1916.

Heavy electrical storms visited this area Monday afternoon, May 8, 1916. No damage by lightening was reported.

That the good old summer time is fast approaching or actually it is already here, as indicated by the appearance of a band of gypsies on our Warrensburgh streets on Monday, May 9, 1916. They were bound northward and seemed to be an unusually clean bunch for gypsies.

Warm weather visitors returning Efrem Zimbalist, the famous violinist, has rented a cottage at Lake Placid for the coming season for which he will pay $2,500. Lake George will there- fore lose two of its most prominent summer residents. Mrs. Zimbalist, Alma Gluck, the celebrated soprano, enjoys equal fame with her talented husband.

Several of the most famous Metropolitan opera stars of New York City will be members of the summer colony in Schroon Lake this season, having found the resort a delightful resting place last summer. Among those who have rented cottages are Madame Margarete Obery and Otto Goritz, the great baritone.

Don Butler, Brant Lake Camp directors lauded at awards banquet

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

BRANT LAKE — Several prominent local citizens were hailed May 12 for their substantial contributions to community life in the northern Warren County area.

About 130 people attended a banquet at Jimbo’s Club honoring Don Butler as V.I.P. of the Year and members of the Gerstenzang, Meltzer and Gersten families who operate Brant Lake Camp, named 2016 Business of the Year.

The Gerstenzangs, Meltzers and Gerstens were honored for not only successfully running the camp for 100 years — providing hundreds of jobs and sparking commercial activity, but for their contributions of money and facilities for many area community organizations.

Butler was hailed for spearheading ongoing efforts by the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance — of which he was principal founder — to boost commercial and social activity in northern Warren County.

The banquet was an annual function of the North Warren Chamber of Commerce.

Brandon Himoff, Chamber Vice President — in his introduction of Karen Gerstenzang Meltzer and Richard Gersten of Brant Lake Camp — said that the camp had been a considerable success for 100 years, through four generations of the extended Gerstenzang family, not only surviving but flourishing through difficult eras including several world wars and the Great Depression.

“Brant Lake Camp has an amazing history,” Himoff said.

“They’ve been a big part of the community while nurturing thousands of children — and all through those years they’ve contributed to the local communities, and we appreciate that.”

Himoff noted that besides the jobs the camp has provided, various local contractors and entrepreneurs were supported over that time span, accomplishing various tasks at the camp.

Meanwhile, the camp’s owners provided generous support to more than a dozen local community organizations and charities that boost the region’s quality of life, he added.

“We appreciate their generosity,” he said as Karen Gerstenzang Meltzer, a director of the camp, stepped up to the podium and was greeted by hearty applause.

Meltzer provided an overview of the camp’s history, noting its development, growth and evolution over 100 years. She expressed particular praise for Bob Gersten, Richard’s father — 96 years young this summer — for his role in accomplishing much of the camp’s development. She also praised the camp’s

staff for their dedication and talent for their work through the years.

“This is not something you can do alone,” she said.

Brant Lake Camp Executive Director Richard Gersten, Meltzer’s cousin, said many people — camp staffers, area entrepreneurs, and local citizens — were responsible for the camp’s success as well as his extended family members.

“This is a great honor, a wonderful community, and we’ve had a lot of help,” he said, adding that the camp staff works year-round to provide the programs and prepare facilities for the upcoming year’s sessions.

“Considering our 200 counselors and staff, we really are a village of people,” Gersten said.

He noted that Brant Lake Camp had survived 100 years because of “passionate camp directors,” “hardworking administrators,” but he also focused praise on the dedication of the

camp staff. Such staffers include camp buildings and grounds employee Charlie Maxam, sports coordinator Merl Norcross and nature and guidance counselor Harry Herbert, each of whom have tallied 60 years at the camp. Also, Gersten praised chef Harry, and Camp music and dramatics director Irwin Combs for their work.

“People are most important factor in our success,” Gersten said, adding that area residents deserved recognition for keeping Brant Lake pristine. >> See BUSINESS | pg. 17

Bolton<< Continued from | p. 1 “When I learned we were coming here and I heard about the statue, I said I bet I know that one,” she said.

Indeed, photos from the Tallix Metal Foundry, where she worked at the time, showed Hockler and Kim in the background when the Scout was being built.

“The first time we came, we were standing in front of him…it’s very moving. (Bryan) starting telling us about the memorials and what they mean to him,” she said. It’s theme she sees across the country.

“These statues mean a lot. I see them and I often wish I could just volunteer and repair everyone of them,” she said, noting many suffering years of neglect. “We should be doing this for our veterans. We can’t forget about them.”

Elizabeth Hockler, of Beacon Fine Arts, Brewster, works on some of the bronze pieces last week in Bolton. Insun Kim uses a torch as part of the process to restore The Doughboy, an 18-foot tall bronze statue in Bolton.

“I think we struggled a little bit last year trying to figure out what would work and what wouldn’t work in the festival space,” said Lake George Supervisor Dennis Dickinson. “We learned a lot, and we’re looking forward to a successful season.”

The season kicks of with NY Rock n’ Roots Friday, May 20 with Rick Derringer, Peter Prince and Moon Boot Lover, and Jocelyn and Chris Arndt.

Other singles that have ranked in the chart’s Top Ten include “Almost Home,” “Redneck Yacht Club,” “Little Bit of Life,” “International Harvester,” “Love Remembers” and “Bonfire.”

Morgan received one of country music’s highest honors when he was inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 2008.

Though his performance is part of the Americade Concert Series, it is open to the general public. General admission tickets start at $25. For Americade attendants, tickets start at $20. Options for seats and VIP tickets are available. Visit americaderocks.com for more information.

Tickets are $25 in advance or $35 at the

The Hudson River Music Hall brings the second annual British Music Invasion Weekend Aug. 13-14. Proceeds will benefit The Strand Theater Revival in Hudson Falls.

Saturday’s music is full of tributes, beginning at 6 p.m. with a tribute to Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin.

Butler accepted the award from Himoff and Chamber president Karen Smith, then reminisced how he was first introduced to northern Warren County. Beginning in the early 1950s, Butler’s parents and siblings visited the area in the summers, tent camping, he said, adding that his love for the area inspired him to move up here decades later.

Butler recounted how he was prompted to launch the Alliance, noting his involvement with the North Creek association bearing a similar name.

Although others have praised Butler for recruiting others and spearheading the various new events and attractions, he deferred credit to other Tri-Lakes Alliance members.

“It’s not just me, it’s all the people in this

room — people that support us and work with us,” he said. “This is all about having good times and bringing people together.”

Crediting Pam Morin for proposing the idea of Rum-Runners’ Weekend, Butler noted that the event was remarkably popular with the region’s millennials, and that more efforts should be focused on involving relatively young adults.

“If we want to move forward and have these events continuing in years to come, we need to involve the youth, the people in their 20s and 30s,” he said.

His speech prompted a standing ovation.

Horicon Supervisor Matt Simpson concluded the ceremony by expressing his

Addressing entrepreneurs at the banquet, he noted that keys to success in business included being quick and nimble in implementing changes, embracing goals of excellence and efficiency, and not resting on one’s laurels. Gersten also thanked Himoff, an executive and co-owner of Point O’ Pines Camp, for their mutually beneficial alliance.

“We have always been very proud of being part of the North Country and the North Warren communities,” Gersten concluded.

In introducing Don Butler, Himoff noted that Butler took bold action in launching events rather than “sitting around complaining” about existing conditions.

“Don has exhibited outstanding leadership in our community,” Himoff said, noting how Butler had generated enthusiasm in others to boost commerce and enhance community life.

Himoff noted that Butler founded the TriLakes Business Alliance, then inspired others in the group to brainstorm and organize nearly a dozen new events and attractions that had since become very popular — including the Brant Lake Winter Carnival, the Chestertown Farmers’ Market, Rum-Runners’ Weekend, Adirondack Woofstock, Taste of Tri-Lakes, the recurring Chestertown Car Hop & Cruise In, Music on Main Street concert series, 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 — all within five years.

Himoff also noted that Butler had resurrected the Panther Mountain Inn as well as founding Brant Lake Taxi which has provided important transportation in the region, including the elderly and infirm to medical appointments.

Langworthy first team Class C NYSSWA All State basketball

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Nine boys and 13 girls have been named to the New York State Sportswriter’s Association All State Basketball teams for the 2015-16 seasons.

The teams are highlighted by a pair of state finalists in the Moriah Vikings boys team, along with duo’s from Warrensburg and Lake George on the lady’s side.

Girls

The top players from the biggest rivalry of the CVAC season made it onto the Class B All-State teams, as junior center Kayla Carder of Northeastern Clinton and junior guard Kenna Guynup of Beekmantown were named to the sixth and eighth teams, respectively.

Carder, a first team CVAC All-Star, reached the 1,000-point mark in the Class B playoffs, helping to lead the Lady Cougars to the Section VII championship after splitting the two regular season games between the Cougars and Eagles.

Guynup, who also was a first team CVAC All-Star, helped to lead the Eagles to the Section VII champoinship game.

In Class C, Warrensburg’s senior guard Erin Langworthy, a multi-MVP in the Adirondack League, was named to the first team in Class C. It was the third year Langworthy has been named to the first team, having earned the honors in Class D for the 2014-15 and 2013-14 seasons. In 2012-13, Langworthy was a member of the Class D seventh team.

Northern Adirondack guard Taylor Durnin passed the 1,000-point plateau and took her team to the Class C state semifinals for the second year in a row (the Bobcats lost in the state title game last season), earning third team honors for 2015-16. Durnin was named to the Class C fifth team a year ago.

MacKenzie and Graceann Bennett were named to the sev-

enth and ninth teams for the Lake George Lady Warriors in Class C. McKenzie scored 376 points in her senior season, finishing with a career total of 1,069 points. She also averaged seven rebounds and three steals per game.

Graceann, meanwhile, came onto the scene in her freshman campaign, scoring 395 points while averaging 11 rebounds per game. Through her first two seasons as a varsity player, Graceann has 580 points to her name.

Class C honorable mention players included Madison McCabe, the AuSable Valley swing guard who scored 401 points in her junior season, leaving her 121 points shy of the 1,000-career point plateau.

Senior Forward Hailey Moore of Seton Catholic was also named to an to the Class C honorable mention as the perfect rebounding complement to a strong interior game for the Knights.

Warrensburg junior Britany Frasier also was named to the Class C honorable mention list.

In Class D, Keene junior point guard Hanna Whitney was named to the second team after helping lead her team to the Section VII finals. Whitney scored 414 points this season, hitting 33 from long range. Whitney heads into her senior season with 1,169 points and 95 three pointers made.

Madasyn Bush, a junior at North Warren, was named to the Class D sixth team, leading the Cougars to a 13-8 regular season record and a third place finish in the Adirondack League.

Minerva/Newcomb junior guard Jordan Bush was named to the Class D seventh team, leading the Mountaineers in a very competitive Division II of the Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference and earning MVP honors for the division.

Keene junior forward Elaina Smith made the seventh team in Class D, as the inside scoring threat for the Beavers also surpassed the 1,000-point career mark with 371 points on the season, heading into her senior year 98 points shy of her teammate (1.018).

Boys

It was an all Section VII list on the All State boys basketball teams, with Northeastern Clinton senior Melik McLeod earning 10th team honors in Class B. McLeod led the Cougars into the Class B state tournament, averaging 19.8 points for the season.

In Class C, 1,000-point scorer Josh Juntunen was named to the seventh team. The junior guard averaged 21.3 points over the season, helping lead the Bobcats to the Class C championship game.

The Class C championship went to the AuSable Valley Patriots, who were led by junior forward Kobe Parrow, who average 16.7 points-per-game but saved his biggest moments for the playoffs, helping lead the Patriots to the Class C final four, falling to the “Class C” champion Middle College.

Northern Adirondack bigman Stephen Peryea was named to the honorable mention list in Class C, having several games where he would dominate in the scoring and rebounding columns.

In Class D, the decision of NY Mills guard Terry Nichols as Player of the Year may have many in Section VII scratching their head as Moriah senior center Adam Jaquish, who soundly defeated Mills, was placed behind him as a member of the first team. Jaquish finished his career with the rare double-quadruple, scoring over 1,000 points while grabbing over 1,000 rebounds. His 1,609 points are the most all-time for the Vikings and second all-time in Section VII. Senior swingman Taylor Slattery made the second team for the Vikings, finishing with 937 career points, also playing some of his biggest moments for the Civic Center and playoffs, scoring 222 points as the Vikings had a 15-3 playoff record over the past three seasons.

A pair of shooters were named to the honorable mention list in Class D, including 1,000-point scorer in Westport senior Anderson Gay, along with Schroon Lake junior shooting guard Branden Hall.

Unified basketball comes to Section VII Ti Program provides opportunity for students to get into the game

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — You can still hear the thud of the basketball on the court at Ticonderoga High School.

A group of 15 youth — boys and girls — have come together to form the first-ever unified basketball program in Section VII, and the school hopes it will be something that catches on.

“The unified program is a mixture of special education and regular education students who don’t often get the chance to play sports or to be on a team,” coach Alexandra Smith said. “We hope this season will start to generate interest in more Section VII schools.”

“I was very excited to hear we were starting a unified team,” said coach Kendra McCoy, who had previously coaches a unified squad in the Rochester area before coming to Ticonderoga as a physical education teacher. The Ticonderoga Unified Basketball team took to the court this season, becoming the first school in Section VII to have a unified program. School officials hope the program catches on elsewhere as they now have to travel to Glens Falls for games.

State, feds roll out new proposals to fight heroin Grant funding, task forces intended to squash sustained opiate epidemic

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Movement is underway across a variety of fronts as state, federal and local officials continue their fight against opiate abuse.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo last week announced the launch of a statewide task force charged with combatting the scourge, which he called one of the state’s most pressing concerns.

The group, consisting of a coalition of healthcare, drug policy and education experts alongside parents and former addicts, has been tasked with holding a series of public listening sessions across the state.

A comprehensive action plan will follow.

“It is a statewide crisis,” Cuomo told reporters in North Hudson last week. “The number of young people, middleaged people who are literally losing, or dying, is frightening.”

Dates and locations for the sessions are scheduled to be rolled out soon, according to the governor’s office.

At the national level, the U.S. House of Representatives passed several bills last week that would boost financial resources to local, state and federal agencies.

Among them was the Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Reduction Act of 2016, which Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) called a “significant achievement.”

This bipartisan legislation will address the “four corners” of addiction: prevention, treatment, recovery and law enforcement, Stefanik said.

The bill authorizes the appropriation of $103 million in grant funding annually over the next five years.

States and local municipalities will be given the flexibility to attack issues unique to their communities through a streamlined grant program that encompasses a variety of new and existing programs.

Included are funds for expanded prevention and education efforts to prevent abuse, increased resources for law enforcement and first responders and additional resources for drug courts, veterans’ treatment courts and other diversion programs.

Ahead of last week’s vote, Stefanik toured New York’s 21st Congressional District and met with those on the frontlines, including veterans who had become dependant on pain medication following injuries sustained in service.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) participates in a roundtable discussion on heroin use with Washington County District Attorney Tony Jordan.

Stefanik recounted a discussion with a wounded veteran at a roundtable discussion at St. Joseph’s Treatment Center who said he wouldn’t be alive without the support offered by the Saranac Lake-based agency.

The bill also includes resources for veterans struggling to reintegrate into society while also battling addiction, Stefanik said.

“So that conversation had stayed with me and was a driving fact why we’ve needed to get this through Congress,” Stefanik told the Sun. “This is legislation we should be proud of — and I am proud of.”

Similar legislation will need to clear the Senate before making its way to the president’s desk.

Addiction to opioids has increased at a steady rate in the past decade.

Over 40,000 Americans died from a drug overdose in 2013.

Nearly 2 million Americans were addicted to opioid-based prescription painkillers, and over 500,000 were addicted to heroin.

“This is a harrowing statistic, as four in five new heroin us-

ers start after misusing prescription drugs and opioid overdoses killed more than 2,000 New Yorkers in 2011 — double the number who died in 2004,” wrote Stefanik in a Medium post.

While the freshman lawmaker stopped short of saying pharmaceutical companies should be directly held accountable for their role in the epidemic, Stefanik said they needed to be “part of the conservation” alongside other medical industry professionals and other stakeholders.

A number of federal and state policies have been instituted to curb abuse in recent years, including oxycodone reformulations that has made it harder to abuse the drug, a new prescription monitoring program in New York State and increased access to the overdose antidote naloxone.

At the local level, the Essex County Heroin and Opioid Prevention Coalition, or ECHO, is scheduled to meet on Friday in Elizabethtown.

“The issue of opiate addiction in Essex County gets larger every single day,” wrote Doug Meyer, of the Essex County Mental Health Association on materials advertising the meeting. “Rarely does a day go by when one of my care coordinators isn’t confronted with a consumer with an opiate issue.”

Mock crash in Johnsburg hits home for teens Business owners, officials discuss dangers of distracted driving

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

JOHNSBURG — The blood-curdling screams of a teen trapped in the back of a car at Johnsburg Central School were not real.

Neither was the blood from the victim draped lifeless across the hood.

Still, the scene went on.

Police, fire and emergency medical personnel flooded the parking lot.

The 911 call for a two-vehicle crash was a drill, but their actions were anything but make-believe. Sirens wailed loudly, while the high school students gathered to watch stood silent.

There was an ambulance, backboards and gurneys. Hydraulic rescue equipment removed the roofs of the cars. The coroner arrived. So did a hearse.

The screams of a mother, realizing her son was dead rose above it all.

“They always tell you and they are always saying it,” said Evan Riedinger, a Johnsburg senior about the dangers of texting and driving message delivered in the mock accident scene.

“This was different. This made it a lot more real,” he said. “The response of the firemen... it definitely became much more serious.”

For senior Sara Pierson, the acting of her classmates drove home the reality of it all.

“When we first walked out here, the screams were like... it was very convincing.”

The fact that she knew all the actors added to that reality, she said.

School Superintendent Michael Markwica said about six months of planning went into the event, initially suggested by a firefighter and parent, Barry McKinney.

The school’s safety committee collaborated with the Warren County Sheriff ’s Office, state

police and fire departments from Johnsburg, North River and North Creek to bring it together.

“A lot of times, these drills are just that, and they end there. In real life, these situations don’t end there,” he said.

So they decided to take it a step further.

David Alexander, of Alexander Funeral Home in Warrensburg, provided the hearse, replete with a visible coffin.

He spoke to the students at the conclusion of the drill, telling of losing a his best friend in a vehicle crash a decade ago. Still, he admitted, texting and driving is something we are all guilty of at times.

“I liked that he said that,” said Riedinger. “I liked that he was honest.”

The scenario didn’t end with the funeral director scene. Instead, police arrested the

actor who was allegedly texting behind the wheel.

For the exercise, he faced manslaughter charges, and the court case was held for the students to view.

The Warren County District Attorney’s Office provided Assistant DA Jason Carusone to serve as the prosecutor, while the Public Defender’s Office represented the driver.

He was found guilty as a youthful offender after hearing several victims’ impact statements.

Despite the fact that this was an acting role, “It was very, very hard to hear,” said Markwica of the mother’s statement.

The event stretched though a majority of the school day, and though portions were quite intense, Markwica said he’d do it over and over.

“Even though it’s hard, I’d rather say don’t do this every day, than one time having to stand up there and say we lost one of ours,” he said.

He noted a conversation following the drill when he met with those involved to gage its success.

“We tend to be possessive of our kids here at the school, we say ‘our kids,’” said Markwica. “But when one of the emergency responders came up to me and said, we can’t lose a single one of ‘our kids,’ it really struck me.

These are their kids, too. These are the fire department’s kids, the EMS’ kids, the towns’ kids…These are all of our kids.”

A mock accident scene to bring a message of the dangers of texting and driving was held at Johnsburg Central School last week.

Butcher shop raid reveals nearly two tons of illegal venison Alleged mastermind known as “The Deer Man” charged with numerous felonies

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

EDMESTON, OTSEGO COUNTY — In a scene that appears to confirm every backwoods stereotype imaginable, state officials busted a downstate operation for illegally selling two tons of venison at a local butcher shop.

Following a two-year investigation, state Department of Conservation officials executed a search warrant at a butcher shop called Farmers Place, where they found more than 3,600 pounds of illegal venison meat and products.

Owner Joseph Leonard was known around town as “The Deer Man.” Leonard, 73, was arrested and charged with a number of crimes after he allegedly sold illegal venison products to undercover investigators.

Leonard’s charges include felony illegal commercialization of wildlife, felony grand larceny, criminal solicitation fourth degree and felony illegal scheme to defraud, first degree.

Manager Tamra Hoag, 57, was also arrested and charged with illegal commercialization of wildlife and illegal scheme to defraud, first degree.

It is illegal to sell white-tailed deer meat and deer parts in New York State.

Both Leonard and Hoag were arraigned in the Town of Edmeston criminal court last week and are due back in court on June 6.

Farmers Place was a member of a group called the Venison Donation Coalition Inc., a sportsmans organization that “transforms a renewable natural resource into nutritious food for those less fortunate and in need.”

The business also operated a food truck, according to their Facebook page.

Authorities are keeping mum on the details.

“The investigation into Farmers Place is still underway and more details will be forthcoming,” a DEC spokesman told the Sun. Edmeston is located about 40 minutes south of Utica.

A state Department of Conservation investigation uncovered an illegal venison operation at Farmers Place in Edmeston, Otsego County.

Unspent $22K in occupancy tax a surprise to Johnsburg officials Lost and found: bookkeeper locates rollover of funds

Fourth grade student receives special gift from illustrator Ron Chan BOLTON LANDING — At Bolton Central School, Library Club for grades 3 to 5 meet once a week during the school year. Library Media Specialist Denise Jorgensen recently had students choose a book they like and write a letter to its author. Fourth grader Griffin Lamber really wanted to write to an illustrator. Griffin chose the illustrator of the Plants vs Zombies graphic novel series, Ron Chan.

Griffin wrote to Mr. Chan telling how much he likes his drawings and especially a peashooter hat that one of the book characters wears. That was a few months ago. Griffin received a box in the mail at school today. Inside the box was a handwritten letter from Mr. Chan and the peashooter hat that Griffin had admiredsigned by the illustrator.

JOHNSBURG — The discovery of nearly $22,000 in unspent and unassigned occupancy tax funds from two awards was brought to the attention of town officials last week.

“I don’t know how it slipped through the cracks,” said Peter Olesheski, town board member and part of the committee that oversees the funds.

Each fall, the committee accepts applications from the community to award money received from the county from collected occupancy tax.

After last November’s deadline, the committee doled out $45,000 to applicants.

Olesheski said had the committee known there was an additional $21,700 in the pot rolled over from previous years, his mindset may have been different.

Warren County had dispersed $47,000 to each town in 2015 and $37,000 the previous year.

It took bookkeeper Sherry Williams going back through the books to determine what remained in rollovers from each year. She distributed a spreadsheet of the findings to board members.

Upon hearing the amount available, board members approved two late requests for

funding.

A total of $2,300 will go to organizers of the Upper Hudson Bluegrass Festival, set for Aug. 19-21 in North Creek.

Olesheski relayed discussion from the committee that the possibility of having two disbursements of the funds, rather than one annually, make work better. A revolving door for applications for funding may also be considered, he said.

A second award of up to $2,000 was approved to expand the reach of the already successful “Things to do in the Gore Mountain region” brochures.

Originally printed nearly 18 months ago with occupancy tax funds, the 27,000 brochures found their way into the hands of visitors through local channels, via chamber events, ski shows and the train depot, according to Emily Stanton, Gore Mountain marketing manager.

“It really was a grassroots effort. It will get this a little further and in front of new eyes,” she said of the board’s nod to distribute about 13,000 of the remaining brochures at northbound stops along the Northway. A local distribution company will deliver a portion of the brochures to other spots around the region.

The brochures highlight attractions in Johnsburg, including the train and North Creek Depot Museum, mosaic mural, Ski Bowl gardens, mountain bike trails, Garnet Mine tours, Tannery Pond Community Center, rafting, Garnet Hill Lodge and Gore Mountain.

LGA has taken the first step in its three-year promise to invest $30,000 per year in the Mandatory Boat Inspection Program on Lake George. The photo shows LGA Executive Director Walt Lender handing Park Commission Executive Director Dave Wick a $30,000 check.
