Wbg. Health Center to celebrate opening By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ The new Warrensburg Health Center has been praised for not only providing more convenient, efficient and comprehensive health-care services for thousands of people in the North Country, but also for transforming the townÕ s streetscape with its bold, appealing architecture. Opened March 1, the $9.5 million, two-story health center is the premier facility of 16 health centers in the region, owned and operated by Hudson Headwaters Health Network. In lieu of a grand opening, Hudson Headwaters will be holding a Community Appreciation Day from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday June 13 to celebrate the new centerÕ s completion, and all in the region are invited. The event will be focusing on thanking the 800 individuals, businesses, organizations and foundations that contributed about $2 million towards the new center, which replaced the former grocery store in which the original center was housed. The Warrensburg Health Center has always been considered the hub of the Hudson Headwaters chain, which has grown into one of the leading health organizations of its kind in upstate New York. Although Warrensburg-area residents are pleased with the Health CenterÕ s new amenities, HHHN in turn is deeply appreciative of the area citizens for their roles in making the facility a reality, HHHN spokesman Howard Nelson said this week. Ò This event is a way of a way of thanking all the people who supported us,Ó he said. Special thanks go to the 800-plus individuals, businesses, organizations and foundations that contributed a total of $2 million towards the new health center, Nelson added. Hundreds of people are expected to attend the celebration. Water St. will be closed to traffic during the event to enable wagon and pony rides down the roadway. The event also features a bounce house, displays by local organizations and businesses, complimentary refreshments, health screenings, face painting, and tours of the new health centerÕ s state-of-the-art facilities. Also, the Warrensburg Volunteer Fire Co. members are to be present with their new fire truck, allowing children to get behind the wheel of the apparatus. Most of the activities are to be held on the newly paved parking lot behind the health center, where the older edition stood for about 40 years. The health center was funded primarily by a federal grant with some assistance by New York State, but vital funds were provided by local donors pitched in to make it a reality, including the Charles R. Wood Foundation, Price Chopper Supermarkets, Glens Falls National Bank, Stewarts Shops, the Michael Schultz family, the Himoff family and the Wolgin family. Nelson noted that the Warrensburg Health Center has in recent years hosted 55,000 patient visits per year, with 70 percent

of the patients coming from outside the town of Warrensburg. Ò Everyone from the region is invited to attend, and we hope they will come and join the fun,Ó he said. The Community Appreciation Day is to be held rain or shine. To commemorate the centerÕ s opening, the town of Warrensburg issued a resolution declaring Saturday June 13 as Hudson Headwaters Health Network Day. The declaration cites that the organization has been committed to excellence of care for all area residents and visitors, regardless of their financial status, and has been devoted to boosting community health, while providing valuable jobs and stimulating the regionÕ s economy. Tuesday, Warrensburg Town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty echoed these themes. Ò WeÕ re really pleased that Hudson Headwaters built this new health center, which is a real boost to local businesses and the area economy, as it provides good-paying jobs and draws so many people into town,Ó Geraghty said. Ò Also, with its expanded facilities and new services on their way, the new health center will be bringing that many more people here Ñ itÕ s nothing but positive for Warrensburg and the surrounding communities.Ó The Health Center Plaza is located at 3767 Main St. Warrensburg.

County tourism director, now retiring, reflects on career By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY Ñ The person responsible for promoting tourism in Warren County over the last quarter-century is stepping down as of July 1. Kate Johnson, who led the Warren County Tourism Department through its transition to promotion via digital and broadcast media, is now retiring. Under JohnsonÕ s leadership, the county tourism staff has won various awards over the last several decades for their innovation and the professionalism of their work. Also, Johnson established the group tour promotions post in her department Ñ and the staff members with this responsibility have boosted tourism considerably through their strategic efforts. During Johnson’s reign, occupancy tax was first levied as a funding source for tourism promotion Ñ and her staff members have since worked diligently to promote a wide variety of new events, several of which are now enjoy national recognition. Johnson spearheaded the venture to promote Warren County tourism via mass emailing, websites, digital links, social media and QR-codes for smartphones Ñ efforts conducted in recent years so successfully by Peter Girard. She also led ventures into promotion by interactive cable television. Also, creative work that once was outsourced, was
Warren County Tourism Department Director Kate Johnson takes a short break from work in her office to reminisce about her 25 years administrating tourism efforts for the county. Johnson is retiring at the end of the month, and county supervisors are leaving the directorship vacant until Jan. 1, while they decide whether or not to privatize the county’s tourism promotion efforts.

brought in-house by Johnson. In a recent interview, Johnson deferred credit to her employ-
ees, citing her primary achievement as establishing an assignment calendar which keeps staff on track and achieving within deadlines. “Twenty-five years is a long time to be in the same position,” she said. Ò But itÕ s been tremendously rewarding.Ó Johnson joined the Warren County Tourism office in August 1990, as assistant director under the department head at that time, Doris Herwig. Johnson stepped into the top role two years later in an unexpected transition. Besides Johnson and Herwig, there has been only one other Warren County tourism director over the past 50 years. One of the highlights of her career was her role in bringing the internationally broadcast Today show to The Sagamore Resort and other destinations Warren County in 2009. Her months of work to convince the Today show producers to come to Lake George was followed by weeks of work in silence with the advance production crew, arranging the many details related to their visit. The episode ended up showcasing The Sagamore and other Lake George destinations, and the event continues to this day to provide benefits for the area. On May 29, Warren County supervisors praised Johnson for her tenure and accomplishments as they decided to keep her position vacant at least until Jan. 1, while they explore the option of privatizing the entire department.
Farmers’ market in Brant Lake to host authors each Saturday By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com HORICON Ñ The FarmersÕ market near Brant Lake has opened on Saturdays for its third year of operation Ñ with an added attraction of book signings by published Adirondack authors. Christine Clark and her friend Katie Barron are welcoming friends, neighbors and visitors to their market, an enterprise of ClarkÕ s Country Mall, about a mile northeast of the Brant Lake settlement on state Rte. 8. The market is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.. About 10 authors Ñ one featured each Saturday Ñ are signed up to greet people attending the market, which features fresh, natural non-GMO vegetables and fruits, Clark said this week. Most of the produce is provided by Keith Buhrmaster of Scotia, a fourth-generation family farmer, Clark said.
Can’t find what you’re looking for?
Be sure to check out our classifieds!
At the market, Burhmaster is also selling his free-range chickens and eggs, she added, noting that she and Barron founded the market with the intent of providing healthy, natural foods to people in northern Warren County. Also featured at the Brant Lake market are baked goods by Schuyler Bakery of Watervliet and SmithÕ s Pies of Charlton, NY., maple products by Buck Hill Farms and Palantine Cheese as well as Battenkill Dairy ice cream and milk, special fruits and vegetables by Hudson Harvest, plus seafood including clams, mussels and shrimp by Brickman Seafood. Also for sale is a selection of camping gear, novelty items, gourmet fudge, inflatable rafts, and squirt guns. Ò We have something for everyone,Ó Clark said. In recent years, Clark and Barron have sought to start a rural shopette, called Ò ClarkÕ s Country Mall,Ó and the farmerÕ s market is the first phase of that initiative. Among the authors lined up to meet market
attendees are June 20: Marty Podskoch, who writes about Adirondack history; July 4 & July 25: ChildrenÕ s author Tatine Rehm; July 11: Adirondack essayist, poet and fiction writer Mary Sanders Shartle; July 18: Sandra Weber, who describes journeys into the Adirondack wilds; Aug. 1: Chuck DÕ Imperio, who writes about upstate Adirondack foods and recipes; Aug. 8: Stacey Morris of Lake George, author and life coach who shed her personal demons as well as about 200 pounds and reinvented her life; and Aug. 29: Adirondack outdoor writer Dan Ladd. Four years ago, Clark and Barron had planned to offer a general store, liquor store and laundromat in a shopette on their property between Brant Lake and the hamlet that bears its name. The farmers’ market is the first phase to be realized of their entrepreneurial intentions, which are developing at a slower
pace than initially envisioned. This plot hosts a building that is painted in rainbow-colored vertical stripes Ñ which prompted controversy in 2011 with some area residents calling for restrictions on how houses could be painted, a proposal rejected by local residents who said such governmental restrictions abridged personal liberties. The houseÕ s colorful stripes are as vibrant as ever Ñ but the paint job is well-accepted now, Clark said, adding that itÕ s become a local landmark. Ò Several times per weekend, I see people stop, jump out of their cars and take a “selfie” with the building in the background,Ó she said. For updates on the activities at the farmerÕ s market, see ClarkÕ s Country Mall webpage on Facebook.

Under new owners, Deer Crossing Cafe changes menu, interior By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN Ñ The Deer Crossing Cafe, for years a destination for savory food and friendly socializing, has reopened under new ownership. Under the new owners Sal Tirone and partner Maggie Makowiak, the restaurant now features an enticing and innovative new menu and an attractive, updated Adirondack ambiance. Ò WeÕ ve changed everything, top to bottom,Ó Tirone said this week, noting the new decor Ñ including a cozy fireplace — as well as new menu choices. Located on state Rte. 9 in the south end of Chestertown, the restaurant is open daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. for breakfast, lunch and dinner during summer. Off-season, it will be closing an hour earlier in the evening. The innovation in the menu is reflected in the Ò You Build It, WeÕ ll Create ItÓ breakfast offering, which challenges patrons to order an entree with four choices of ingredients including eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, French toast, cottage cheese, potato pancakes, waffle halves, an English muffin, a bagel, or a croissant. Those headed off to work can order a break-
fast sandwich to go Ñ with two eggs, cheese, bacon or sausage, on a choice of bagel, muffin or croissant or roll for only $3.99. Sandwich ingredients range from Philly cheese steak to chicken liver or Polish kielbasa as well as BLTs and hamburgers. Dinner entrees, range from $9.95 to $13.95, feature shrimp in garlic sauce, sauteed steak strips, Italian Haddock plate, as well as spaghetti and meatballs, and breaded chicken breast. Polish specialties, reflecting Maggie MakowiakÕ s heritage, include stuffed cabbage with pork ravioli, and a dish of twelve pierogies filled with cheese and potatoes. The Deer Crossing Cafe changed hands in March, soon after the former owner walked into a restaurant and tavern in Linden, NJ where Makowiak worked, and he told her he was seeking to sell the cafe Ñ and she took him up on his offer. Makowiak said she and Tirone, former residents of Staten Island, now love the Adirondacks. Ò This area and its scenery reminds me of rural Poland Ñ ItÕ s very, very beautiful,Ó she said, adding that sheÕ s looking forward to meeting residents of northern Warren County, and hope they stop by the cafe and introduce themselves.

Annual POW/MIA ceremony on Prospect Mountain set for Sunday By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ The 45th annual service atop Prospect Mountain to honor U.S. soldiers missing in action and prisoners of war is to be held at 1 p.m. Sunday June 7, and all are invited to participate. For this event, thereÕ s no charge for people to travel up Prospect Mountain highway to attend. The Warrensburg High School Marching Band is to play patriotic music at the service, which is annually attended by hun-
dreds of veterans, both from the area and from all over central New York. Scheduled as guest speaker for the event is Mackenzie Waterston, a young adult who was a member of the expedition that searched for remains of U.S. soldiers, members of a New York regiment, who never returned from a World War II battle on Saipan, a South Pacific island. Waterston, who served an internship at the New York State Military Museum is the granddaughter of long-time American Legion Post Commander Terri Waterston of North Creek. Emcee and organizer of the event is Gene Pierce of Warrens-
burg, Vice Commander of the Warren County American Legion. He said that the issue of locating the remains of those missing in action from wars over the last century continues to be a vital mission. Ò ItÕ s important for people to remember those soldiers who are still missing,Ó he said. Ò Also, our government should look into what happened to these patriots.Ó The rain location for the ceremony is the Lake George American Legion Post on state Rte. 9L northeast of state Rte. 9. The post will also be holding an informal gathering after thec onclusion of the ceremony.
Martin’s Woods Walk to offer guided walk, sawmill demo THURMAN Ñ When Gary and Wini Martin bought their Thurman woodlot and worked with a forester to create a Certified Tree Farm there, it was the first step in the realization of a dream that had been stirring them when they both still had day jobs. The more they learned about the principles of good woodlot management, the more they appreciated the concept of sustainability and wanted to share the ideas with others. They set aside a June day to welcome neighbors, customers and even strangers (though no one is a stranger for very long at MartinÕ s Lumber), offering guided walks into the woods, demonstrations of the sawmill that maximizes the lumber yielded up by each log and even interactive craft demonstrations. They call the event Ò MartinÕ s Lumber Woods Walk: Understanding Sustainability,Ó and Gary is quick to say that Ò sustainabilityÓ may be a new word, but itÕ s an old concept. Ò The oldtimers knew about sustainability. My grandfather used to say, Ô Take care of your woodlot, and your woodlot will take care of you.Õ Ó This yearÕ s Woods Walk, a free event, takes place on Saturday, June 6, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with walks scheduled at 10:30, 12:30 and 2:30. Joining Gary in leading the walks is Bill LaPrairie, helping identify medicinal and edible plants along the way. Wini jokes that she will assign one guest on each walk the job of telling Gary when it is time to return to the mill for a demonstration, as he is so passionate about the woods that he loses track of the time. Those not wishing to take the walk will find lots to engage
their attention near the mill, where Wini and friends of MartinÕ s Lumber will have displays of crafts and other items and offer activities for visitors. After checking out WiniÕ s sign blanks and wood-burned signs, paper bead jewelry and stained glass stepping stones, expect this year to visit with Ernie Smith and his antique engines, Sue and Mike Therio of Oven Mountain Farm, who make and sell wooden wares for those who work in fiber arts and will help kids make pots to plant seeds. Artist Donna Wormwood will have her well-known Adirondack Rustic Miniatures and Wild by Nature watercolors. Sally FeihelÕ s Adirondack Suds and Scents handmade soaps and lotions have great appeal, as does the fused glass jewelry of Barb Beis. Local Author Perky Granger will lead an activity related to the environmental awareness message of her teen novel Ò A Summer of Strangers.Ó Little tykes and grown-ups alike will gravitate to Don and Nancy DeckerÕ s operating Harry Potter model train. All ages will find something of interest at Woods Walk, so, rain or shine, put on your most comfortable walking shoes, head out to MartinÕ s Lumber at 280 Valley Road, Thurman, (about 15 minutes from Northway Exit 23) and stay as long as you like.

Lake Placid not suited for Olympic return
N
ews that Lake Placid may host the Ironman World Championships in 2017 is a significant feather in the cap of local tourism officials and could put the small Olympic village back on the national scene the likes of which has not been seen since the Miracle on Ice 35 years ago. The event could potentially draw 5,000 competitors and 20,000 friends and family for nearly a week at a time when locals could use the economic shot in the arm Ñ the weekend following Labor Day, or the start of the regionÕ s off-season. Early projections estimate an economic infusion of more than $15 million from the event, which promises to trickle to outlying communities like the bubbling water of the Boquet and AuSable rivers. To say this is tremendous news would be the understatement of the century and we laud those involved in attempting to make it happen. The Ironman World Championship is exactly the type of event Lake Placid should be working to lure to its tight-quartered downtown Ñ not the Winter Olympics. Certainly Lake PlacidÕ s storied Olympic history should never be ignored or forgotten. Lake Placid is the little town that could, managing to lock down two installments of the Winter Games Ñ in 1932 and 1980. It put the village on the international map. But recent discussion from local bureaucrats about a potential bid for the 2026 Winter Olympics is a waste of time, energy and resources. Quite simply, the Olympics have outgrown the Olympic village. Submitting a serious bid to the International Olympic Committee would take a massive financial investment Ñ for lodging creation, infrastructure upgrades, the creation of new parking lots, roads, stadiums and venues Ñ to handle the immense number of athletes, tourists and the inevitable media frenzy that would converge on the region. But most of all, it would take cash. Tons of it, and a local citizenry open to the idea of helping pay for it. That might be a tough sell when the effect to the average working class person would be negligible at best. At the same time, imagine the nightmare of running it all through the red-tape-nightmare of the Adirondack Park Agency and then being left with the overdevelopment that has occurred with other recent Olympic hosts? Consider the $169 million final cost of the 1980 Olympics during which just 51,000 people were allowed into the village on any given day.
Then compare that to the $50 billion spent by the Russians on the Sochi games with hundreds of thousands of visitors from 134 countries in attendance. Compared to Lake PlacidÕ s 51,000-per-day limit, the Olympic Park in Sochi alone holds 75,000. Then there were 37,000 security officers and 13,477 members of the media on hand in 2014, and it took 25,000 volunteers to pull it off Ñ more than 60 percent of the entire population of Essex County and four times as many volunteers as the 1980 Olympics. Just imagine cramming that number of people in downtown Lake Placid. We canÕ t see that happening anytime soon. The logistics of splitting the games between upstate communities or hosting a coordinated event with Canada is also unrealistic. The thought of transporting that many people between venues during a two-week period is incomprehensible. And trans-border travel? Think of the time it would take and security it would involve. And lets hope none of the athletes or members of their family have a misdemeanor in their past Ñ because they arenÕ t getting in. Then there is the thought of getting two separate Olympic Committees to work together Ñ a feat akin to a unanimous vote of the US Congress on universal health care coverage. There are plenty of events that fit Lake Placid like a fine tailored suit. Events like the Lake Placid Horse Show, Empire State Games, World Cup and ECAC and Can-Am hockey tournaments to name a few. They all draw folks to the greater Lake Placid region, many of whom return once theyÕ ve had a taste of the mountain air. The quaint Adirondack village also continues to play a significant role in the Olympic community. Its facilities are still used as training centers for Olympic contenders, with athletes traveling from around the nation to the Adirondacks to train. These are all positives for Lake Placid and the region as a whole. They represent Lake Placid living within its means, and are the type of activities that will define the future of the community. The role Lake Placid played in Olympic history should be held dear and never forgotten. Suggesting the village will ever again host the Winter Games, on the other hand, is backward thinking and counterproductive.

More dehumanizing To the Editor: TheyÕ re back! The citizens of the Town of Lake George had barely time to catch their breath after their Comprehensive Plan CommitteeÕ s April 23 victory over the giant Tree Hugging Environmental Aestheticists, or THEA, in a battle in which Lake George Town Board member, Marissa Muratori, suffered some proverbial collateral damage. Well, perhaps it wasnÕ t so collateral after all. At least it appears that Ms. Muratori didnÕ t take it that way, counterattacking at the May 28 Planning Committee meeting, and this time bringing her Uncas along in case the grappling wasn’t so proverbial. “You’re fired,” Supervisor Dickenson said, facing what was left of the Planning Committee after several members had withdrawn with battle fatigue. The Village of Lake George may be cutting back on firework displays, but the Lake George Town Board appears more than ready to pick up the slack with the flaring of tempers and the snap, crackle and pop of a slap in the face to the Planning Committee members who volunteered their time, talents and energies over the past year in public service to their community. The Fourth of July is a time for fireworks, a day for celebrating the freedom of the American people over tyranny. I donÕ t get that kind of good vibration from the Lake George Town Board’s fireworks. I’m more inclined to cringe at their sparklers and crackers. Supervisor Dickenson parried around, telling the Committee Members, Ò WeÕ re not circumventing anything youÕ ve done,Ó although I think that parrying is a form of circumventing. For her part, Ms. Muratori was blunt, Ò There will be some reconsideration of things.Ó I wonder if sheÕ ll do a survey. Seems that perhaps the Town Board doesnÕ t value public service, or perhaps the board members donÕ t appreciate their own roles as public servants. When the planning process began, it was with good fellowship and a glad-handing thing called a charrette. Now weÕ ve come to the discord and the disharmony of flaring tempers and slaps in the face. ThatÕ s not what the Town of Lake George is supposed to be all about. The Comprehensive Plan is supposed to embody the vision of the citizens for their community. It appears that this vision may not be shared by the Town Board. You can’t hold on to the firecracker once it’s been lit. The Fourth of July just wonÕ t be the same in the Town of Lake George this year. Edward Pontacoloni Lake George
Honoring ‘Decoration Day’ To the Editor: Memorial Day was initiated in 1868 as Ò Decoration DayÓ to honor the fallen in the Civil War. The residents and neighbors of Crown Point have continued this observance for 147 years. We are proud of this tradition and wish to thank the following people and organizations: Fred V. Provoncha; Timothy J. Pierce, State Veterans Counselor; Pastor Robert Fortier; Patrick Kiely; Matthew Russell; Joan Hunsdon Ð Crown Point Town Historian; David Hobbs; Pastor Douglas Woods; members of the Bridge Flotilla (15-13) United States Coast Guard Auxiliary; Cindy Bodette and Alberton Ò LuckyÓ Eubar - members of A.E. Phelps Fire & Rescue for traffic control at Putnam Creek Bridge; David Carr USCG AUX and past National President of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks; Jeris French, the members of the Crown Point Central School Chorus and their bus driver, Henry DuShane; Ronnie Burroughs and assistant for the sound system; Charles Harrington, Supervisor of the Town of Crown Point; Pastor Gregg Trask USCG AUX; Rev. David Hirtle, USAF ret & USCG AUX; Trooper Brad Peters for escort and traffic control during the tour; Chairperson Jodi Gibbs and the members of the Memorial
Day Committee; Charles Mazurowski, Town Board member and US Army ret; members and leaders of Troop #70 Boy Scouts of America, for the US flag presentation; and Erick DuShane and Noah Peters for their rendition of Taps. This year we thought it appropriate to salute a Veteran at each stop with a profile of their service and life. In saluting one we hoped to honor all who served. Thank you to Carol Stanley (his widow) and her family for telling us about Korean War Veteran Benjamin Stanley; to Pastor David Hirtle for telling the story of A. C. Woods who gave his life during the Civil War; to Karen Sheets (his widow) and her son, Matthew Whitford, who honored Crown PointÕ s only fatality during the Vietnam War Ð Lynn C Whitford; to Regent Deanne Dresser and the members of the Ticonderoga Chapter, National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution for relaying the profiles of the 5 confirmed American Revolutionary Patriots from Crown Point; and to David Hobbs Ð adopted son of Crown Point Ð who told us about Richard Ebersbach, a World War II pilot. Civil War Veterans, Philo Bell and John Hammond, were honored at the Putnam Creek Bridge and Forestdale by Kama Ingleston. Thank you to one and all. We also wish to remind people of the caretakers of the solemn places we visited on Memorial Day and are visited by family and friends through-out the year. Those who care for cemeteries and monuments in our community deserve our thanks for a tremendous job. Thank you. We would like to remind you again, if you have a veteran in your family, who was born in Crown Point or enlisted while a resident of Crown Point, please contact either of us or a Memorial Day Committee member so their name can be listed in the Memorial Day booklet for next year. The veteran does not have to be a war veteran just an honorably discharged serviceman or woman. Remember to honor those who gave their lives not only on Memorial Day but everyday by saluting the flag. When you place your hand over your heart during the National Anthem, Taps or the presentation of the American Flag it will make you proud to be a Citizen of the United States and it just might make the person next to you do the same.

God is involved To the Editor: The liberal ideology espoused by Mr. Binczik needs an abrupt rebuke. It is him and not Dan Alexander who has bungled the facts. It doesnÕ t matter when the words Ò under GodÓ were added to the Pledge of Allegiance. Those two words were installed to recognize that we are a nation under the providence of the Almighty. As Pres. Reagan said, Ò If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.Ó Thomas JeffersonÕ s Ò wall of separation between church and stateÓ only solidified the author’s assertion that government is given no authority to establish a religion nor interfere in the practice of the faithful (or faithless). The Ò wallÓ was symbolic in that it would provide further protection for the people from the forcible hand of government in religious matters. Yes, the Constitution did not contain the word God. However, our Declaration of Independence put a profound emphasis on our Ò CreatorÓ at the outset. Jefferson wrote that it was Ò self-evidentÓ that all men seen through GodÕ s eyes are equal and bestowed with Ò certain unalienable rightsÒ ; neither to be taken from or given away by the possessor. Our Founders knew, as most Patriots of today know, God is indeed involved with the affairs of men. John Sharkey Ticonderoga
Writing Center announces Literacy Award winners BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE Ñ Once again, writers, editors, publishers, and book lovers gathered at the stunning Blue Mountain Center in Blue Mountain Lake on Sunday, May 31, to hear the announcements of the Adirondack Center for WritingÕ s (ACWÕ s) annual Adirondack Literary Award winners. The Adirondack Literary Awards celebrate and acknowledge the books that were written by Adirondack authors or published in the region in the previous year. It is a lovely event, a rare chance for local writers to gather and celebrate being together, living and writing in the Adirondacks. The sense of community was palpable; many people come every year for a chance to spend the evening with other Adirondack readers and writers. All of the books submitted for consideration this year were on display, giving a visual sense of the scope of our Adirondack literary achievements, and many of the authors had signed copies of their books for sale. This year a record nine awards were given: two in the fiction category, two in the childrenÕ s literature category, and Best Memoir was shared between two books. Other honors went to Best Book of Poetry, Best General Nonfiction, and of course, the popular People’s Choice Award. And the winners are: Best ChildrenÕ s Book: The WoodsmanÕ s Boy by April Peterson in the Young Adult/Middle Grade category and for Picture Book the honor went to Liana MahoneyÕ s Forest Green: A Walk Through the Adirondack Seasons published by North Country Books. There were two fiction prizes, one for best for short story collections and one for best novel. The award for Best Short Story Collection went to The Striker by Luis L. Tijerina, published by RA Press and the prize for Best Novel went to Mary Sanders Shartle for The Truth and Legend of Lily Martindale: An Adirondack Novel. The judges said you could tell Shartle is a poet, the writing was gorgeous and there was not a syllable too much, each word was masterfully chosen. Two books received the honor of Best Memoir: Lorraine DuvallÕ s And I know too Much to Pretend published by Bloated Toe Publishing and Adirondack: Life and Wildlife in the Wild, Wild East, published by SUNY Press, by Ed Kanze. The Best Book of General Nonfiction went Stuart Bartow for Teaching
Trout to Talk: The Zen of Small Stream Fly Fishing also published by RA Press. The judges said BartowÕ s book was a Ò work of great literature.Ó And for the second year in a row, the Best Book of Poetry went to Paul Pines, this time for Fishing on the Pole Star by Dos Madres Press. The popular PeopleÕ s Choice Award went to Mary Sanders Shartle for The Truth and Legend of Lily Martindale: An Adirondack Novel, giving Mary two awards that night. ACW is very proud of the judges for the Adirondack Literary Award; they are careful and dedicated readers. The judges are: Nonfiction and memoir: Bibi Wein and Jerry McGovern Fiction: Linda Cohen and Joseph Bruchac Poetry: Marilyn McCabe and Elizabeth Cohen ChildrenÕ s Literature: Ellen Wilcox and Nancy Beattie.
Alexander From page 6
would this place be and how thankful and respectful would we be with each other? Oh sure, we would still have problems to resolve but we would be far more understanding and willing to work with each other to overcome the challenges while valuing the irreplaceable things. Is any day not a great day when you have your health, family and the freedom to pursue your version of happiness, not at the expense of others? The most self destructive thing we can do in life is to assume that our happiness comes from someone elseÕ s misery. In life, in politics and in our communities happiness is built on the simple joys of building something together and celebrating the joy of that accomplishment. This country, while far from perfect, will only find its way out from under the dark clouds when we remember to cherish how far weÕ ve come as a nation. We must remember to work together to pass along that same opportunity to the generations that follow and to the nations whose people long for the gifts we take for granted.

A treasure chest
O
ur house along the Saranac is full of memories. Almost every drawer, cupboard and old button box is jampacked with photos, newspapers and family memorabilia. It pleases Kaye and me to be surrounded by what the late comedian George Carlin called Ò stuff.Ó We love our stuff. While relaxing on our screened-in back deck last weekend, I noticed that Kaye was up to her usual busyness. She enjoys just sitting and watching river bank activity as much as I but at that moment, she was lifting the top of what I always by Gordie Little thought of as an old wooden hope chest. It once had rattan covered sides, but that had long since fallen away. More recently, it simply occupied a corner of the room and was covered by a heavy cloth rug that had picked up pollen and other soil from the winter and spring. She removed the rug and washed it, revealing the box or cedar chest or whatever you want to call it. It sat for years, not thought of as anything except a place to sit. It was just there, out of mind. Not this day. She flipped the lid and began pouring through the contents. Every object she pulled out was a treasure. It was like an archeological dig in a time capsule. Photographs? There were many along with newspapers dating to who knows how many decades ago? One of them heralded the dedication of the Ò newÓ Bridge Street Bridge in Plattsburgh back in 1935. I uttered sounds of wonder and joy not necessarily becoming to a man of my advanced age. We had only recently re-dedicated the same bridge to veterans and filmed a complete television show culminating in the unveiling of an attractive sign at that location. Talk about reducing the span of years into a single moment. Another was small-sized, complete copy of the very first Life Magazine, published on November 23, 1936. Of course, I stopped to look at every photograph and read every word. I was especially interested in seeing the automobile and cigarette ads. The latter enjoined readers to smoke this or that brand because doctors touted them as being good for digestion. You were told to enjoy what we later called Ò cancer sticksÓ between every meal course. Amazing. Kaye extracted stacks of report cards for every member of our family. Hers and mine were in the mix. Her high school diploma was there. Ò It looks a little rough,Ó she said. Ò We look better than our diplomas,Ó I answered. She placed all the school-related items in separate piles to give to our kids for future safekeeping. As they drop by, she doles them out to each one. We shed tiny tears of joy while looking at handmade special occasion cards our kids made for us. There was also a stapled booklet from PlattsburghÕ s Broad Street School containing stories and poetry composed by several our children and their friends in 1967-68. It is entitled Ò Our Journey Through SchoolÓ and was dedicated to beloved teacher Alice Moyer. I wonder how many copies are left. There are so many items connected to my life that I now have my own stack. ItÕ s like a childÕ s favorite blanket. IÕ ll keep it close and savor everything till the day I die. IÕ ve been reading stories and poems that I wrote in my early school grades and other things I typed on the old Royal machine in high school. There are letters to my dad from a couple colleges trying to tell him that his prodigal son wouldnÕ t be allowed to return the following year. I gave my parents so much grief. As I began to write this, Kaye was inspired to go upstairs and carry down a 100-year-old wicker sewing basket full of old photos. What fun we had pawing through them. We promised ourselves to write names on the backs before our generation is no more. ItÕ s already too late to identify some of them. Perhaps you have a treasure chest in your attic and can soon share a similar experience. LetÕ s all sing Ò Memories.Ó

Upcoming ‘Adirondack Woof Stock’ dog and music event gains notoriety By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN Ñ An upcoming two-day event with lots of activities for dogs and their human companions in Chestertown has generated a considerable buzz regionally, as plans for Ò Adirondack Woof Stock 2015Ó have progressed in recent weeks. Billed as Ò A Weekend of Peace, Paws & Music,Ó the event Ñ which celebrates the music and culture of the late 1960s while offering a lineup of canine activities Ñ is set for Saturday June 20 and Sunday June 21 on the field behind the town of Chester Municipal Center. Adirondack Woof Stock is to include competitive dog diving, canine Frisbee catching, dogs chasing lures through an obstacle course, a dog talent show, canine agility demonstrations, and pet adoption opportunities. Additional vendors are now being sought for the event, which may attract several thousand people from a wide region, according to event planners who have gauged initial response. The event is to include music of the 1960s all day on the field, as well as a Saturday evening concert in the Carol Theater by musicians paying tribute to such artists as Janis Joplin, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Joe Cocker Ñ artists who performed at the 1969 Woodstock festival. Vendors already signed up are offering dog-related wares, festival food, tie-dyed items and a veterinary clinic. Mead said sheÕ s seeking additional vendors, including a dog groomer, dog trainers and a Ò dog whisperer.Ó The cost of a space for both days is $40. For information, contact Mead at 494-3016 or at: cmead3@nycap.rr.com.
Adironack Woof Stock is sponsored by the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance, which has launched a variety of new popular events in northern Warren County Ñ including the Brant Lake Winter Carnival Ñ in an effort to boost the areaÕ s commerce and tourism. Mead said this week that the enterprise conducting the competitive dog diving Ñ Hudson Valley Dock Dogs Ñ has been promoting Adirondack Woof Stock heavily throughout northeastern U.S., and as a result several area accommodations have booked solid for the weekend, and other inns, motels and campgrounds are filling up fast. Ò This event could be really huge,Ó she said, predicting it could become one of Warren CountyÕ s most popular annual events. Ò Dogs will be having a lot of fun, while their owners are going to travel with us back to the 1960s. It will be a lot of fun for families, particularly since itÕ s Fathers Day weekend.Ó Businesses in Chestertown are planning to post peace signs, and their employees are likely to be wearing tie-dye clothing and sport flowers in their hair, she added. Mead said that the mounted patrol of the Warren County SheriffÕ s Department is expected to be on hand for ambiance as well as to keep order if needed. Ò IÕ d love to see vehicles backed up from our event to the Northway,Ó she said.

Two new floating classroom programs part of LGA summer
LAKE GEORGE Ñ If you are interested in learning about Lake George while experiencing its beauty on a custom-built boat, the Lake George Association has just the program for you this summer. On Wednesdays in July and August, the Lake George AssociationÕ s Floating Classroom offers programs for the public that feature a two-hour trip on our 40-foot floating classroom – the Rosalia Anna Ashby. It offers unparalleled views of the Queen of American Lakes and is packed full of information and fun. In addition to the regular program Ð where visitors experience in broad strokes why Lake George is so special Ð we are planning a program dedicated to Invasives Species on July 7 and a program dedicated to Aquatic Life on Aug. 6. Ò The programs are perfect both for regional residents who have never been on the Floating Classroom and new visitors to the area,Ó said Jillian Trunko, the Lake George AssociationÕ s Educator who developed the programs. Ò We would like to share our love for Lake George with them and encourage them to protect Lake George while they are here, and share their Lake stewardship with others.Ó Scheduled for July 7 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., the Invasive Species Floating Classroom will explore the aquatic invasive species already in Lake George: what they are, how they spread, how they impact water quality, and what the current management plans are. As part of the program, they will sample an area from the boat and identify plants brought up from the lake bed. Ò WeÕ ll have samples aboard in jars so participants can learn the difference between our native species and invasive species,Ó Trunko said. Scheduled for Aug. 6 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., the Aquatic Life Floating Classroom focuses on the different life in Lake George itself. The family-friendly trip will include experiments

The Complete Works comes to Lake Theatre
LAKE GEORGE Ñ The Lake Theatre (formerly The Lake George Dinner Theatre) has completed casting for its 2015 production of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged). It runs from Thursday, July 16, through Saturday, Oct. 10, with matinee and dinner performances every Tuesday through Saturday. Producer, Terry Rabine recently announced this seasonÕ s acting company which will include a veteran of the Dinner Theatre, a New York City actress making her Lake Theatre debut and a local favorite, also making his debut on the Lake Theatre stage. Said Rabine, “We had a terrific turnout for auditions both in New York

City and locally and are pleased to have been able to cast actors from both auditions.Ó The cast of Complete Works will feature Glens Falls native Matthew Reddick who recently appeared in the GFCT production of A View From The Bridge as well as a variety of other regional theatres including HMT and Hubbard Hall. Also featured in the cast will be New York City professional and Lake Theatre veteran Jarel Davidow who will be making his third appearance with the Dinner Theatre, having appeared previously in The Love List and Moonlight and Magnolias. Joining Davidow and Reddick in the ensemble comedy Òs end-upÓ of the works of William Shakespeare will be New York City professional, Corey Tazmania, who will bring a unique energy to the production which is typically cast with three male actors. Said Producer/Director Rabine, ÒC oreyÕ s had this play on her Òb ucket listÓ for years and she quite simply overwhelmed us in the audition process with her energy, power and comic sensibility. WeÕ re very fortunate to have her as a member of this seasonÕ s company.Ó The Complete Works is a ÒM onty PythonesqueÓ parodying of the Bard in which three actors attempt to perform all 37 of his plays in only 97 minutes. ÒI tÕ s a clown show of quick changes, pratfalls, gags and a lot of improvisation with the audience that reminds me of shear madness, probably the most popular play ever produced at the Dinner Theatre,Ó Rabine said. ÒI ts genius is in its accessibility to Shakespeare lovers, haters and even those whoÕ ve never seen or read his plays. And itÕ s recommended for all audiences. The New York Times says Ô Éi t will leave you breathless with laughterÕ and the LA Times calls in Ô Wildly funny and masterfulÕ . We think this yearÕ s production will be one of the funniest weÕ ve ever done.Ó Show-Only tickets are also available and groups are always welcome. Early Bird Discount tickets are available until June 23 by calling the Administrative Office at 306-4404 or by downloading the discount form from the Lake TheatreÕ s homepage at lakegeorgedinnertheatre.com.

Biomass closer to reality for town of Chester
C H E S T E RTO W N Ñ T h e State Senate today approved legislation that would help the Town of Chester finance the cost of a new wood pellet heating system by extending the length of time it may bond for the project from 10 to 15 years. Senator Betty Little sponsored the measure at the request of Chester Supervisor Fred Monroe and the town board. Ò The current law does not accurately reflect the probable useful life of a boiler or furnace, which makes financing a challenge,Ó said Little. Ò This change will help the Town of Chester and others that may be seeking to convert to renewable, natural resources for heating. Ò With the push for renewables, this change in law is timely, helping not only the Town of Chester but I expect other municipalities interested in doing the same.Ó Supervisor Fred Monroe said, Ò The Town of Chester appreciates Senator LittleÕ s efforts in shepherding this legislation through the Senate. It will benefit the Town of Chester and also help other municipalities with renewable source heating projects.Ó ChesterÕ s municipal complex uses an oil-fired steam heating system. The conversion to wood pellets is expected to save the town $18,000-$19,000 annually on heating costs. The town has won grants from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and U.S. Department of Agriculture in support of the conversion project. Specifically, the legislation (S.2907) would amend the Local Finance Law to specify that the period of probable usefulness of the installation or reconstruction of a heating system in a municipal building would be 15 years. Existing law provides for a ten-year period for a heating, lighting, plumbing, ventilating elevator or power plant or system for class Ò AÓ or Ò BÓ building and five years for a class “C” building. The legislation passed the Assembly on May 18 where it is sponsored by Assemblymen Dan Stec and John McDonald. The New York Biomass Energy Alliance supports enactment of the legislation.

Ridin’ Hy
Published by Denton Publications, Inc.
Ò She has given so much to us that we just wanted to give back,Ó class president Christopher Sirois said. Senior class treasurer Ian Baker echoed SiroisÕ sentiments. “She’s just very caring, very selfless, and we wanted to be selfless, too,” he said. Like many across the country who heard the news from a number of national media outlets, the staff at RidinÕ Hy were stunned by the studentsÕ generosity. In response, Beadnell and her three coowners sat down for a meeting of their own, at which they decided to invite the class to reinstate their trip, free of charge. Ò TheyÕ re very thoughtful kids to even think of something like that as seniors in high school,Ó Beadnell said. Ò It was a quick, easy decision on our part.Ó But thatÕ s not all: the 50-person reservation — 45 students and five chaperones — may just increase to 51, as Beadnell said Principal Vashaw has been invited to join the class as a special guest at RidinÕ Hy. Ò ItÕ s a Ô pay it forwardÕ type of thing,Ó Beadnell said. Ò ItÕ s kind of overwhelming Ñ they didnÕ t expect something like this to happen.Ó The senior class was originally scheduled to arrive on Sunday, May 31, but, amid the media swarm, students thought it best not to keep the scheduled reservation, and are currently working with Ranch staff to hammer out new dates for the trip Ñ likely coming after their June 5 graduation.
From page 1 cancellation, Profile High teacher and trip coordinator Kristy Duris told them the senior class couldnÕ t keep their reservation because they didnÕ t have the money Ñ theyÕ d given it all away. Duris told them the schoolÕ s principal, Courtney Vashaw, was recently diagnosed with a rare form of aggressive cancer, the news of which she shared with her students to account for her absence from school. In response, two weeks before their trip, the senior class decided to donate close to $8,000 they had raised over the course of four years for their last hurrah together before graduation to help cover the cost of her care. Ò The school started doing fund-raisers, and the senior class held a meeting to vote on whether or not to donate the money,Ó Beadnell said. Ò The vote came back 100 per cent unanimous.Ó A now-viral video filmed by CNN affiliate WMUR-TV shows Principal Vashaw shake her head in disbelief before breaking into tears when representatives of the senior class inform her of their decision. Ò It is very hard for me to accept help, and I have no idea what to say to you,Ó she told them. A number of Profile High seniors told local reporters they were simply following Principal VashawÕ s example.

Turning Back the Pages By Jean Hadden One Hundred Years Ago – June, 1915 Gone to a watery grave
Dr. David B. Anderson and Dr. Morris Kusach, two young physicians recently made interns at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City, were drowned Thursday afternoon, May 27, 1915 in Lake George, at Montcalm Point. Each was about twenty-five years of age. The two young men arrived at Bolton Landing a week ago Sunday, to pass their vacation there at the T.P. Braley cottage. On Thursday afternoon they set out for a canoe trip. While near Turtle Island they were advised by Erasmus C. Smith, a resident of the island, to discontinue their trip and remain with him over night as the lake was extremely rough. The young men refused to listen to his advice and decided on paddling home, going down the west shore of the lake to Tongue Mountain. It is believed that the canoeists reached Montcalm Point, at the end of Tongue Mountain and the heavy northwest wind caused their frail craft to capsize. The water at this point is very deep. When the young men failed to appear at their boarding place, searching parties were organized and worked all that night with no success. Friday morning the canoe was found three miles south of Tongue Mountain. Fifty dollars is being offered for the recovery of the bodies. They have not yet so far been found and a grief stricken father of one of the boys has returned to the city.
Fish Hatchery forges onward
The State Commission has advertised for bids for the construction, plumbing and heating of the state fish hatchery to be built this season on the Ben Glynn farm in Warrensburgh, with the $35,000 appropriation provided for in Senator James A. Emerson’s bill for that purpose. Contract plans and specifications have been placed on file at Emerson National Bank in this village. The hatchery will be one of the most modern in the state.
Asked to keep going
A large band of gypsies passed through Warrensburgh, June 2, 1915, with all the impediments that usually accompanies such an outfit, gaudily decorated wagons, skinny horses, mongrel dogs, half naked children, dirty women and slouchy men. They didnÕ t tarry long and they were warned by the authorities to keep on moving.
Horicon woman sent to jail
For violating the education law by refusing to keep her children in school because she disliked the teacher, Mrs. Matilda Baker, of Horicon, was arrested on May 25, 1915 and arraigned before Justice A.E. Durkee, who imposed a fine of $5. She paid the amount but said she would not send the children to school and made good her word. Again she was arrested and Justice Durkee fined her $45 with the alternative of 45 days in jail. Mrs. Baker chose the jail sentence and engaged Attorney Beecher S. Clothier, of Glens Falls, to get her free. Attorney Clothier appealed the sentence which he stated was excessive. Upon hearing the argument of the appeal, Judge Raley granted an order reducing the sentence to $10 or ten days in jail.
Gala wedding
George E. Duell and Miss Pearl A. Frost, both of Thurman, were united in marriage by the Rev. T.J. Hunter, Thursday evening, at the home of A.T. Crandall, in Thurman. The attendants were Miss Louise Fowler and Daniel H. Duell, brother of the groom. Mr. Duell is a prosperous young farmer living on the road between Athol and The Glen. He is the brother of Mrs. A.T. Crandall.
Celebrated photographer deceased
Alonzo Lyman Mix died Sunday night, May 30, 1915 at his home on Hudson Street, Warrensburgh. The deceased was
born Aug. 5, 1845 at Long Lake, the son of Lyman and Jane Ann Keller Mix. At the time of his birth that area was considered the most secluded spot in New York State. Mr. Mix was perhaps one of the best known Adirondack guides of his time, being also a photographer of wide reputation. Besides portraits, he produced calendars and post cards. His first photo gallery was located over Hammond’s Drug Store until it was destroyed by fire on May 3, 1896 at which time he re-located on Hudson Street. He and Mrs. Mix, the former Margaret Somerville, have resided in Warrrensburgh for twenty-two years. (Note Ð HammondÕ s Drug Store was located across the street was the present day Marco Polo Pizza shop.)
off, the axle bent and the machine was otherwise damaged. Mr. Harris made a miscalculation in turning on to the bridge. (Note Ð This bridge, at the foot of Elm Street, was originally built at a different angle than the one that is there today.) In other news, Charles W. Hall, of North Caldwell, has bought a Ford automobile. Mr. Hall has, for a long time, resisted the lure of the gas wagon, taking great pride in his fine team with which he has frequently appeared on Warrensburgh streets. But the Ford got to him and horseflesh soon became too slow for him. Albert Wescott, of Thurman, has purchased a five-passenger Maxwell touring car from the Warrensburgh Garage.
Elderly gentleman died
News near and far
Erskine Willoughby Eaton, 83, born in Chestertown, April 27, 1832, died June 16, 1915 in Brooklyn. He was connected with several prestigious Adirondack families. He was an uncle of Henry Griffing, of Warrensburgh, and former Mayor Charles W. Cool, of Glens Falls. Mr. EatonÕ s wife was Sarah Griffing who died in 1891 in New York City. He was brought here for burial in the Warrensburgh Cemetery with the Rev. G.H. Purdy officiating.
Aged man hit by motorcycle
Andrew Eddy, 84, of Lake George, suffered a fracture of his left leg and one of his intestines was ruptured when he was run down by motorcycles in the village as he attempted to cross the highway a short distance north of the Lake George Courthouse. The two motorcycle riders were arrested and later released by Justice Bryant. Andrew Eddy died the next day in the Glens Falls Hospital.
Some call it “sport”
E.M. Merrill, a Civil Engineer in camp near Loon Lake station, Franklin County, recently killed a bear weighing 400 pounds, the animal being one of the largest killed in the Adirondacks in recent years. Mr. Merrill had set a bear trap within a few hundred feet of his camp. One morning he found that the trap had disappeared, fresh bear tracks explaining why. After a two and a half mile chase, the engineer found and shot the bear.
World War I tragedies
The body of Albert Lloyd Hopkins, one of the victims of the Lusitania disaster, arrived Thursday night, June 3, 1915 at the home of his mother, Mrs. Stephen D. Hopkins, in Glens Falls. Funeral services were held at the home by Rev. Oliver Shaw Newell, rector of the Church of the Messiah. (Note Ð In this column in the May 30, 2015 issue of the Adirondack Journal was the World War I story of a German U-boat torpedoing the British liner, Lusitania, killing 1,198 innocent passengers and crew, ten miles off the Irish coast.) An Italian employed in Graphite, because his wife and family were in the war zone back in Italy and his brother here was called to serve in the army, suddenly lost his mind one day recently and had to be taken to the State Hospital for the Insane.

Dog Beach From page 1
beach has been regularly trashed by crowds of mainly collegeage tourists and residents who use the beach, without dogs, and leave behind such garbage as glass bottles and used diapers buried in the sand. Ò IÕ ve seen them down there, blanket to blanket, when right next door Million Dollar Beach had maybe ten people,Ó she said. Because the littering and misuse of the beach has gotten so out of hand, the Department of Environmental Conservation has come up with a plan to remove the beach entirely in 2016 Ñ erecting a sea-wall and extracting the sand in favor of grass to open a small waterfront park. Giknis said that this solution is not only unfair to beach-goers who use the place for its intended purpose, but it is a move that could cost the tourism-based local economy yearly revenue. If the beach is saved, however, Giknis says that dog-owning tourists are more likely to visit Lake George, and to spread the word that the town is dog-friendly. Ò Nobody has gotten bit, no dog has been injured or killed, no person has been injured or killed, there has never been a fight, but they are punishing the dog people,Ó she said. Giknis said dog-owning families consider their pet to be a member of the family Ñ something they consider when researching potential vacation spots. Lake George has no shortage of pet-friendly hotels, camp-

grounds and restaurants, she added, and Dog Beach provided a place for quadrupedal visitors to socialize and expend pent-up energy — benefitting both them and their owners. Ò They come in my store and theyÕ re soaking wet, theyÕ re tired out and theyÕ re happy,Ó she said. In the wake of the DEC proposal, Giknis sent a proposal of her own to the DEC requesting that, rather than removing the beach
entirely, they fence off Dog Beach from the sidewalk and install a booth manned by a single employee during daylight hours. Under this plan, patrons would be required to have a dog to get in, and would sign a book with both their name and their dogÕ s name, as well as signing off that the dog has the necessary shots. The beach would cost visitors one dollar per hour of use, and have garbage and recycling bins on site, which, according to Giknis, the state has repeatedly refused to install. According to GiknisÕ plan, locals would be invited to continue using the beach free of charge. In addition to her proposal, Giknis has begun a petition on change.org called Ò NYS DEC: Keep Dog Beach in Lake George N.Y.” — receiving over 300 signatures within the first 24 hours. The petition has garnered a number of positive comments on the optional Ò reasons for signingÓ section, including one from Toni Rawson from Fort Ann that reads Ò I love this place, and the dog loves to swim! Please donÕ t take this away from our fur babies ... they need the cooling off and exercise too!Ó Teresa Stoklosa of Clifton Park commented, Ò It would give me a reason to go to Lake George!Ó Wayne Redick of Waterford, N.Y. commented, Ò I take my dog there when I visit Lake George. DEC drove Fire ChiefsÕ show from (Lake George), donÕ t make the same mistake with dog owners.Ó The signatures and comments continue to roll in, and, while the future of the beach is uncertain, it is clear that not everyone agrees with the DEC that it should be removed.
