Engle Park, other projects to start soon on Water St. By Christina Scanlon
christina@suncommunitynews.com
WARRENSBURG — A series of park installations are in the works around the town, eventually bringing possibilities for small festival-type activities and live music, along with a meditation garden setting for the public’s use. The first undertaking is Cal Engle Park, located behind Hudson Headwater’s Warrensburg Health Center and along Water Street. Dirt work is set to begin this week. Funded by Hudson Headwaters, the park was envisioned when the medical building was constructed last year. Craig Jones, of Richard E. Jones Associates and architect on the project, said the design of the park takes advantage of the natural slope leading to Water Street. “We created a small amphitheater,” he said. “There will be a tiered grass area with seating.”
Warrensburg Supervisor Kevin Geraghty said the spot will lend itself well for small music performances, such as a vocalist or acoustic arrangements. There will also be picnic tables and grass throughout the park. “It’s going to be really nice to honor (former Town Supervisor) Cal Engle with this park,” Geraghty said. He is hopeful the park will be complete by the fall. Also funded by Hudson Headwaters and likely to be complete around the same time, is a healing, or meditation, garden located between the health center and dental building. Inspired by English gardens, “it’s going to be a quiet place with a water feature,” said Hudson Headwaters spokesman Howard Nelson. “All the planting there will be medicinal related,” said Jones. “It will flower all year long and relate to the reason they’re there.” A third project, funded by grant money re-

Former supervisor forcing judicial review By Christina Scanlon
christina@suncommunitynews.com
QUEENSBURY— Former Queensbury Supervisor atLarge Mark Westcott and a group of several other unnamed Warren County residents will force a legal opinion concerning the current structure of the county Board of Supervisors. While not a lawsuit, the measure “brings this to a federal administrative court,” said Wescott, declining to identify the other parties to the action. “They are people from different towns including the northern part of the county.” In December, as his final action before his term ended, Westcott urged the Board of Supervisors to look at the current system of government and a possible change to a Board of Legislators set-up. Westcott called the make-up of the board’s voting power “unconstitutional.” He and other Queensbury and Glens Falls supervisors had argued the northern towns in the county have more voting power despite a weighted vote system. Westcott has since continued this course via emailed newsletters and a blog he operates at www.westcottupny.com. Earlier this year, the Board met with Stephen Acquario, executive director of the New York State Association of Counties, who conducted a presentation concerning possible structures for the county according to state law. At the time, Acquario said he found no issues with the current structure, but encouraged discussion to take place. In April, that discussion came to a halt, when 15 of 20 supervisors defeated a resolution “to explore alternate forms of county government.” At the time, Queensbury at-Large Supervisor Rachel Seeber, who voted in favor of the resolution, posed to the board information she had recently discovered. The information, a 1966 county law that established the at-Large positions in Queensbury, appeared new to the board.
Supervisors agreed at that point to allow Queensbury to sort out potential structural issues at the town level before considering changes to the full board. Seeber, early this week said, “I believe that we owe it to every tax payer in Warren County to reevaluate the structure of the board of supervisors. Let’s look at the pros and cons and make an informed decision.” Any outcome from a federal judge’s review of the current county structure will not be a demand for action. “It won’t tell (the county) what to do,” said Westcott. “It gives an opinion and a directive. It would say, ‘you’ve got to fix this.’ How you go about fixing it would be up to the board.” In the past, judges have given the opinion that a change in structure is needed for similar county arrangements, said Westcott. Those counties, he said, went to a legislative structure, which appropriates residents into districts according to population, giving each district equal voting power. Horicon Supervisor Matt Simpson has been vocal about his opposition to a board of legislators. “This would create another level of government. If anything, Queensbury should be broken up,” he said. “The idea that one legislator could represent four towns, creates another microcosm. Ultimately, what we all desire is better representation at the county, but a legislature would create something similar to New York City versus upstate…it leaves Queensbury holding all the cards.” Simpson didn’t disagree with a closer look at the current structure, “but I don’t feel we need to separate the towns from the counties to accomplish that.” Westcott said his group was prepared to accept any outcomes from a judge’s review. “We will live with it,” he said. Warrensburg Supervisor and acting county administrator Kevin Geraghty acknowledged he’d heard there was possible action coming on the matter, though nothing official has been filed or received by the county.

Woof Stock adds new events, considering date change By Christina Scanlon
christina@suncommunitynews.com
CHESTERTOWN — A second successful Woof Stock is in the books, with an eye on an earlier date next year. “We’re thinking the first or second weekend in June,” said event founder and organizer Cindy Mead. Attendance was about the same, perhaps a little less, than last year’s debut with 3,000 people and 1,000 dogs over the course of the two-day event. There were Father’s Day activities, hot temperatures, the call of boating and another area pet event to compete with this year. Mead said she’s considering moving the festivities to coincide with Americade, as the two events would not draw the same crowds since people don’t typically travel with a dog on a motorcycle. “Saturday night, we had Woodstock Revisited on Mill Pond,” said Mead. “We had two
bands. It was a big hit.” The music will most definitely return next year, she said. EZ Marine provided pontoon boat rides on the pond, as well. “It had neon lights and it’s pretty big. It looked funny on the little pond, but it was great fun,” she said, having already booked the boat for next year. A harpist played at the blessing of the animals, adding a level of spirituality to the moment. “Everyone really liked that, too.” State Police and Warren County Sheriff ’s provided two K9 dog demonstrations for the public for the first time, as well. There were plenty of repeat activities from 2015, including competitive dog diving, canine Frisbee catching, a dog talent show and canine agility demonstrations. Mead said she receives a lot of positive feedback from attendants about the festival, but one has touched her more than the others.
County admin search stalled, Geraghty to continue in interim By Christina Scanlon
christina@suncommunitynews.com
QUEENSBURY — Warrensburg Supervisor and Board Chairman Kevin Geraghty will retain his role of acting county administrator, “until such a time we find a new county administrator,” Geraghty said. The Board of Supervisors extended Geraghty’s interim spot last week, after the search for the replacement for former Warren County Administrator Paul Dusek came to a halt the week before. A round of interviews with four final candidates was conducted two weeks ago by the Personnel and Finance Committee. Geraghty would not comment on the outcome of those interviews. He also discussed to discuss whether the board is still considering an individual found in the first pool of candidates, or whether the board will broaden their search. Dusek retired from his position at the end of March. In 2015, $130,753 was budgeted for the position’s salary. Geraghty said he is comfortable with his additional duties, though he will not receive a stipend for them. He will likely be in place through budget season and has served previously as budget officer for five years.
“I received a letter after last year’s festival and it brings tears to my eyes. I wish everyone could feel this way,” she said about the correspondence that read, ‘So wonderful seeing so many breeds coexist, our only hope, actually it is our belief, that at least in the Adirondacks, that if families wearing turbans/
saris/speaking Spanish or any other language entered ‘Woof Stock,’ that the two-legged beings would get along just as peacefully and non-judgementally as the four-legged, truly demonstrating that the original Woodstock ideal is alive and well here in our mountain community.”

County airport runway extension opponents gain ground By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
QUEENSBURY — A recent rare evening meeting of the Warren County Board— held so many more employed area county residents would be able to attend — provided a format for citizens to oppose a proposed runway expansion at the county’s airport. The public comments against the $8 million, 1,000-foot extension of one of the runways at the Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport prompted Glens Falls Ward 3 Supervisor Claudia Braymer to propose a resolution for the county to halt its efforts toward having the extension garner final approval from the Federal Aviation Administration. A vote on this unexpected proposal to derail the 13-year-old project, although it failed to pass, revealed that more county supervisors now oppose moving forward on the project. Six supervisors voted to halt the extension application, 11 supervisors voted against doing so. and one abstained. The resolution to halt the effort was defeated by a weighted vote of 356 to 510. Voting to halt the project were Chester Supervisor Craig Leggett; Claudia Braymer and Matt McDonald representing Glens Falls; Johnsburg Supervisor Ron Vanselow; and Queensbury supervisors-
at-large Doug Beaty and Rachel Seeber. Among these county leaders, Beaty had been the only one who’d voted against the runway extension in a similar balloting months ago. About a half-dozen area residents voiced objections to the runway extension project, which would be paid for with $7.2 million in federal funds, $400,000 in state money and $400,000 in county funds, and a few citizens and several supervisors expressed support for it. At one point, the controversy became personal. Queensbury supervisor-at-large Ron Montesi said that opponents to the extension project “should get a new hobby.” His comment — directed at Beaty, former Queensbury supervisor at large Mark Wescott and government watchdog Travis Whitehead — prompted boos from the citizens attending the meeting — the first time in a quarter-century for such an interaction at a county board of supervisors meeting. Citizens and several supervisors then responded by blasting Montesi for his remark, as well as airing their criticism for the runway extension — saying it was a waste of taxpayer money, it threatened the rare environmental marl fen wetland on the airport property, and it was unnecessary. But Warrensburg Board member John Alexander, a pilot, expressed support for the runway extension.
“A longer runway is always better for safe departure or landing,” he said. “The FAA has determined our airport is worthy of this expansion.” But Gary Loughrey of Queensbury, a commercial and military pilot for 35+ years, expressed opposing viewpoints. “There’s not an operational need to add 1,000 feet to the Warren County airport,” he said, citing specific landing and takeoff requirements of various types of aircraft, as well as recounting how many years ago Warren County citizens successfully blocked a proposal to remove hundreds of mature trees surrounding the airport at a cost of $2.1 million. He said this earlier proposed project was unnecessary because the trees did not present any real hazard. Maureen Lynch of Queenbury, who said she and her husband were both pilots, commented that there was no reason to spend $8 million on the runway extension. “This marl fen is worth protecting — it has been designated as a critical environmental asset far more rare than any other type of ecosystem; there are only four other similar areas in the world,” she said, noting that federal and state grants were shouldered by taxpayers and shouldn’t be treated as “free money.” “There is no justification or proven need of this runway extension,” she added. “And there’s
overwhelming public opposition to it.” Queensbury Supervisor John Strough, however, voiced strong support for the runway extension, predicting it would in future years prompt area economic growth, in part by spurring businesses to move to the industrial park adjacent to the airport. He also said that many municipal airports in the state are pursuing runway expansions. “If we don’t go along with this improvement,” he asked, “do you think the FAA will give us a second chance?” Beaty challenged Strough’s statements, citing that the FAA does not decide to extend runways in order to prompt future economic development — and that Phil Morse, a leading area businessman who owns the largest jet at the airport, has said the runway extension doesn’t make economic sense and the existing runway length is adequate. “Some people want the runway extension because a few jets on flights overseas have to stop off in Canada to re-fuel,” he said, noting that the proposed expansion requires seizing land through eminent domain as well as destroying the rare marl fen. “Let’s step up and do the right thing,” he said, prompting applause from the audience.
Lake George village hikes water rates, first in 3 years By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
LAKE GEORGE — After hosting a public hearing June 21 which drew not a single local citizen, the Lake George village board approved water rate increases — the first in six years — of 3 percent. The new rates are intended to keep the revenues in line with expenses of providing water for area households and businesses, village Mayor Robert Blais said. The new rates are $5.31 per 1,000
gallons per quarter up to 50,000 gallons and $5.87 per 1,000 gallons over that amount for residents the village, and $6.10 per 1,000 gallons per quarter up to 50,0000 gallons and $6.66 per 1,000 gallons above that amount for those outside the village. Inside the village, the minimum charge is now $59.04 unless no water is used, for which the rate is $31.77. Outside the village, the minimum rate is $66.56 per quarter. In other business, the Lake George village board: • approved, with conditions, a re-
quest from proprietors of the Beach Boutique at 28 Beach Road to place a fiberglass horse wearing swim trunks, socks and shoes outside their store — on the village sidewalk — with an swim tube around its neck. The approval was for 30 days, based on whether it was situated under the overhang and was accomplished in good taste. • approved a contract with Warren County Soil & Water Conservation District to implement a stormwater abatement project that would minimize flooding and runoff down
Holly Street and Mountain Drive. Funded by $8,000 from DEC, the project would include constructing catchbasins and drywells plus installing new drain pipes. • heard from Blais that a person protesting a parking ticket for his vehicle extending from a handicapped space into a crosswalk zone had measured the space in front of Shepard park and determined it was shorter than state specifications, and accused the village of discriminating against people with disabilities. Village Public Works chief
Dave Harrington said the space was too short and too near the crosswalk, so the board members decided to eliminate the handicapped space rather than retaining it and re-situating all the parking spaces along the street, which would cause the loss of up to three spaces. • discussed a potential change in the local boarding house ordinance which would reduce the annual license fee to $75 for one person boarded and $100 for two to four boarders. — See more at suncommunitynews.com

First-ever Lake George Polka Fest to host renowned, offbeat group By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
LAKE GEORGE — In a village that hosts nearly everything imaginable, an upcoming event is being billed as a first-ever for the resort destination. The Lake George Polka Fest is to be held Saturday June 25 at Scotty’s Lakeside Resort. Featuring six hours of music, the event features the Chardon Polka Band in concert from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. as a fund raiser for the local Women in Need organization. But those who normally roll their eyes at polka music should take note that the Chardon band is a nationally-known group that is not your traditional polka band. Reviewers have called them performers of punk-polka and grunge-polka. They’re
known for incorporating rock’n-roll riffs and occasionally country sounds into their joyous, foot-stomping refrains. Bridging all idioms of music, Chardon Polka Band has also performs top-40 rap and pop hits with their “polka with attitude” approach that has pumped up folks at their concerts — whether it’s a small group at a backyard party or a nursing home, or a capacity crowd at a stadium concert. Defying all norms, they might just launch into polka versions of Lady Gaga and Justin Beiber hits in their Lake George concert. Armed with impressive credentials, the Chardon Polka Band has opened for the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, performed at a televised NFL football game — and been the headliner group at Ohio’s Duct-Tape Festival.
They also were the subject of a Reelz Cable Channel reality show titled “The Polka Kings” that chronicled their exploits — until the show was canceled. Lake George Polka Fest organizer Nancy Nichols, a founder of the local Women in Need charity, said that the 350-feet of lakefront at Scotty’s Resort was the ideal place for the Chardon Polka Band’s rousing iconoclastic music. “This first annual Polka Fest is going to be an incredible amount of fun,” she said. The event is a presentation of Lake George Region Women for WIN, the House of Grace, and the Lake George Rotary Club. Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for those over 65, and free for children 10 and under. Tickets can be obtained in advance at: lgwin.org/events/store/index. asp?w=photocat&phcat=5
Master punk-polka performer Jake Kouwe of the Chardon Polka Band plays a refrain of a song during a performance of his group’s genre-bending, footstomping music at the renowned Soulard Oktoberfest in St. Louis, Missouri.
Lake George board moves ahead on $17 million sewer plant project By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
LAKE GEORGE — Lake George village passed a milestone June 20 as it passed a resolution authorizing the municipality to borrow up to $17 million to bankroll planned upgrades to their wastewater treatment plant. A companion resolution approved Monday authorizes village mayor Robert Blais mayor to sign grant applications for the project. Earlier on Monday, Dave Decker of the Lake George Watershed Coalition finished and submitted a grant application online to the state Environmental Facilities Corp. for $4.5 million towards the plant upgrade. On the recommendation of consulting engineers, the village is seeking to make a variety of improvements to the sewer treatment plant, including installing a “batch reactor” which would reduce nitrate-rich nutrients from the wastewater. For about two years, the village has been operating under a state Department of Environmental Conservation consent order, which demands that the village upgrade the plant because of continuing violations of the agency’s standards for maximum nitrate levels in its sewer plant effluent.

Mowery plays soccer, basketball and softball, which also give her the opportunity to hone her leadership skills. “Gabrielle does a good job in class and in small situations,” said Kane. “Her coaches have always described her as a good leader.”
Decker said that on behalf of the village, he would be seeking up to 8.5 million total in grant funding from a variety of state and federal sources for the upgrades. Blais said he had contacted various state and federal officials — including U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik — seeking money for the project. Also, a conference with representatives of the Governor Cuomo’s office is pending, he said. “We’re shooting for as much as we can get,” Blais said. In other business, the village board: • appropriated $575 to the Lake George Skate Park committee for publicizing a grand opening of the new Skate Plaza at Charles Wood Park. Set for 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. July 23, this fund-raising event features skateboarding demonstrations by expert athletes; skateboard, scooter and BMX competitions; free lessons; refreshments and vendors. The open competition is $10 for participants; spectators can watch at no charge. • set a public hearing for the board’s July meeting on amending the local skate park regulations to rescind the present ban on BMX bicycles and scooters. • heard from Mayor Blais that the former Shepard’s Cove has been transformed, by its new owner Jose Filomena, into For more information about the program, visit www.envisionexperience.com.

the Lake George Beach Club. Blais said it had undergone substantial upgrades including the construction of a “beautiful” fireplace. • approved the selection of two new junior firefighters to the Lake George Fire Department: local residents Joseph R.

A time for unity
ouldn’t you assume we send smart people to Washington to solve problems? Really difficult problems? You know, especially the ones that have us pitted against each other? Obviously, we have a problem with innocent civilians being killed by unstable and crazy people. Some either don’t know right from wrong, while others have clearly chosen to use whatever weapon is within reach to kill mass quantities of unsuspecting innocents. Regardless of the reason war, unbalanced people, or whatever their motivation, it’s a big problem in need of a big and difficult solution that will appease both sides. The problems is in seeking a solution it flies in the face of the second constitutional amendment guaranteeing responsible citizens the right to own a gun. I know the constitution doesn’t use the word responsible, but that is where the real problem lies. What the second amendment says is: “”A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” For far too many years both sides of this issue have dug in their heels, standing on their primal core values to never give in to the other side. Both sides have plenty of statistics supporting their position. Consequently as a nation, we are frozen by this stalemate, with both sides standing frustratedly incensed that the other side just doesn’t get it and never will. Every time one of these radically unstable or self proclaimed jihadist takes a life both sides go into lock down battle station mode. Both sides have valid concerns but the ranker has reached a point where neither side will listen to anything from the other side, yet we need a reasonable solution to protect the rights of everyone on both sides of the issue. If Congress is unable to resolve the issue because most have already chosen a side, then it’s time for them to recuse themselves and appoint people of an independent point of view to arrive at a reasonable solution. Guns are not the problem, but guns, or for that matter any weapon, in the hands of angry, unstable people who want to kill others and die while doing so is the problem and there must be a solution somewhere in this country to resolve the long standing stalemate, without infringing on law abiding citizens.

End of state legislative session agreements bodes (mostly) well for North Country
T
he state legislature wrapped up their session last weekend with a flurry of legislation, capping off what Gov. Andrew Cuomo claimed was the most productive in modern state history. That may be a stretch considering the legislature has never been known for its expediency or work ethic. But you can’t deny that the last-minute wrangling, which saw lawmakers burning the midnight oil to reach an agreement, resulted in closure on several of the most important issues left unresolved after lawmakers arrived at a budget in late-March. What became of some of the proposals discussed by our editorial board this past year? JCOPE. We slammed the state’s watchdog agency, the Joint Commission on Public Ethics, for their attempt to expand their definition of lobbying to include the meetings public relations firms have with newspaper editorial boards. We called it a “reprehensible and ignorant edict that smacks of Big Brother.” Thankfully, that proposal fizzled. A five-point ethics reform deal contains more useful measures to combat corruption, including reducing the size of financial contributions to political candidates needed to trigger disclosure and adding further restrictions to the political action committees that flourished after the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision. (A ban on outside income and eliminating the so-called LLC loophole, however, didn’t pass the sniff test.) Pension forfeiture. The signature issue of state Assemblyman Dan Stec (RQueensbury) finally saw some traction with an agreement that will strip legislators convicted of corruption of their taxpayer-funded pensions earned during public service. The agreement, however, is watered down: the law doesn’t extend to government workers, which means people like prison break pariah Joyce Mitchell will still be eligible to cash out. But despite the union-led opposition that defanged what we feel is a critical element to combatting malfeasance, the legislation is a step in the right direction. The law, which requires a constitutional amendment, isn’t a done deal. Lawmakers must again approve the proposal next year before it is presented to voters on the ballot. Heroin epidemic. Better late than never. Despite the political grandstanding that delayed action on this issue until the fourth quarter — the Assembly and Senate had compiled a list of proposals long before the governor convened a last-minute executive panel — lawmakers approved a comprehensive series of bills designed to address the state’s insidious opiate crisis. The $189 million spending package includes measures to increase beds in recovery programs, reduce the time-length for opiate prescriptions, expand insurance coverage for detox facilities and require prescribers to enroll in ongoing addiction training programs. All of this marks welcome news for our rural communities struggling to combat addiction without the proper resources.
Combating rural blight. While New York City will see massive renovation projects that will transform critical infrastructure, including the Javits Convention Center in Manhattan and the LaGuardia Airport, the state wisely determined that abandoned buildings act as a serious concern to our remote region, driving down property values and inviting illicit activity. The agreement contains provisions to combat rural blight and “zombie homes” — or abandoned bank-owned properties — by expediting the rehabilitation, repair and improvement of these eyesores. While the devil is in the details, anything that adds clarity to the ridiculous regulations that cripple small towns from addressing these problems will be vital to the resurgence of the region. Alcohol reforms. Bottom’s up! Seizing on the increased appetite for local food and drink, lawmakers have continued to make it easier for local beer, wine and cider producers to showcase their products by snipping away at the state’s outdated blue laws. The latest in a spate of relaxations also allows venues to serve booze on Sunday mornings beginning at 10 a.m. while reducing fees and paperwork for craft brewers. Mandate relief. Any local official will tell you state mandates gobble up the vast majority of their budgets, from health insurance to mandatory training requirements. While it doesn’t look like comprehensive mandate relief is in the cards this year, local municipalities notched a big victory with the passage of a bill that will entirely shift payment for indigent legal services from the counties to the state by 2022. The legislation, which stems from a state settlement with five counties that determined existing counsel was inadequate, is great news for North Country governments struggling to address rising crime with limited resources, as is legislation that will reimburse counties for mandated salary increases for district attorneys. Minimum wage. By far the year’s biggest stinker. We continue to have concerns over the minimum wage, which will raise to $15 over the next five years based on an economic index. Our local businesses have repeatedly argued that they opposed the increase not out of greed, but simply because they are not positioned to absorb high increases in labor costs. This is in stark contrast to Gov. Cuomo’s repeated misrepresentation of the issue as a battle between corporate titans and the little guy. Nonprofits, too, will be disproportionately affected by this game-changing legislation. We see no scenario that doesn’t result in disaster, or at least massive state subsidies, for the North Country business community.

AbolishÊ theÊ DMV? To the Editor: So the other day, while at the Miami airport, I watched a family of five check in for a fight to South America using a cell phone with just one screen. They got ticketed, bags checked, cleared customs and immigration and left for a long flight across the Equator. Yesterday, I went to the Essex County Clerk’s
DMV office to title a 14-year-old car and got quite the run around and ended up getting pretty angry and told off some of the clerk’s six pages singlespaced of mumbo jumbo. When will people realize that the DMV is front running for the insurance industry, gophers for the state police, etc.? And just what good does having a New York title do anyway? When my old Volvo wagon that went missing at the Essex County tax sale years ago got a collective yawn when I complained. Even after
insisting the state police investigate, the district attorney did nothing. I am out maybe $1,200. Now it seems to me that New York could adopt what California does already and issue a tag for a car which stays with the car. Carfax and Ebay could keep track of the cars, thus cutting a big chunk of needless fat out of the state budget. William Kuntz Elizabethtown

GUEST VIEWPOINT
Being involved Win Belanger> First vice-chair, Essex County Republican Committee republican@localnet.com
E
very year during the election cycle, towns come alive in the month of June with political parties sending their masses door to door to seek YOUR SIGNATURE. This is the way each political party gains a foothold on the upcoming ballots for their respective candidates. If more than one person in the party wants the same job, then there will be a primary on September 13 before the winners move onto the general election on November 8. So you want to be involved? Perhaps not as a candidate, but as a party member trying to ensure a person who has similar views to you, not 100 percent but as close as possible becomes “your” candidate. Not 100 percent, because that would make you the logical candidate. Every even year — including 2016 — each party forms their town committees using designating petitions and the September primary to become a committee member. That is correct, your town committees are elected positions that make up the Essex County committee. This is where many of you who may not like the way things may be going in your party have a chance to work for change or improvement. If you wondered how “so and so” got to be on that committee or thought many party members seemed old, you all can
step up, run for the committee and BE INVOLVED. New York State election law lays out the process of “designating” petitions. These petitions carried door to door to designate a person of a specific party for a specific elected position within the town, county or state. It is an easy process of simply downloading the proper party petition from the Essex County Board of Elections website and following the directions for proper completion. Individuals must have been a registered voter of their respective party for a certain amount of time prior to becoming a member of the town or county committee. Starting June 7 through July 14, those wanting to become a member of their town committee must circulate a petition within their town election district to be on the September ballot, if opposed, and in turn be a member of their Essex County committee. Those who become elected committee members then appoint a party member of their choice to mentor and be their alternate, to work alongside them to reach their mutual political goals. Regardless of party affiliation, if you are ready to lend your views, your assistance and your time to your party and ensure your views are acted upon, then reach out to the Essex County Board of Elections and ask for the paperwork and directions. To put it into perspective: The Essex County Republican Committee has 84 town committee positions and 84 alternate positions covering the 18 towns within the county. I would be pleased to assist any person who would like more information on becoming a committee member in your town. Your committee and your party needs your involvement so they represent you correctly. Willsboro resident Win Belanger is the first vice chairman of the Essex County Republican Committee.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
AmericanÊ LegionÊ AuxiliaryÊ toÊ close To the Editor: I would like to sincerely thank the North Creek American Legion Auxiliary Unit 29 for their generous donation to Adirondack Tri-County Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. The $500 donation is earmarked for veteran’s programs at ATCNRC. I am told that this local group has been in existence since 1928, but unfortunately, due to decline in numbers and participation, this chapter of the American Legion Auxiliary is closing. I can attest to the good works they have provided for this community and specifically for our facility as several times each year they participate in planned activities at our nursing home to honor our veterans. Again, thank you to the members of the North Creek American Legion home to honor our veterans. Again, thank you to the members of the North Creek American Legion Auxiliary Unit 629 for all that you have contributed to enhanced the lives of our veterans. Jamie Reynolds, ADC Activity Director Adirondack Tri-County Nursing and Rehabilitation Center
Ô FreeÊ andÊ honestÊ discourseÕ Ê neededÊ onÊ gunÊ control The the Editor: Mateen accomplished what he set out to do: kill lots of gay people. He cited ISIS as a way to increase his fame in his hour of infamy. Way to get attention, Mateen! It worked! The terror here was in the scope of his killing and that it was motivated by hate. It had nothing to do with “radical Islam.” Watch lists, mental health clinics and “staying vigilant” would not have prevented him from doing this. This is insanity, and stopping at the barricade of no discussion that has been carefully built by the gun lobby without trying to breach it is not good enough. Banning firearms will not end mass killings. Most of us are not interested in banning all guns any more than we are interested in banning cars, which so far, still kill more people than guns, and already require registration and a license to drive. Many of us feel that hunting for meat is fine. Many of us may not feel comfortable having a handgun in our home but understand that others may feel more secure with one at hand. Many of us may interpret the Second Amendment differently from others, but that’s okay; we’ll let the lawyers and the courts duke it out. But there are some of us who think that assault weapons are weapons of war, not hunting or protection. I find it hard to believe that any of my neighbors would kill a deer with an assault weapon; apparently it would pretty much destroy the meat. And would someone sleep with an assault weapon under their pillow for fear of an intruder? Can we talk about this madness? This country is about free and honest discourse. If we cannot discuss this and listen to each other, how can we ever hear each other? We must try to breach the barricade of No Discussion and get on with finding some compromise. Katharine Preston Essex
WhoÊ isÊ winning,Ê terroristsÊ orÊ us?Ê To the Editor: We have had another terrorist attack. He did it by using our rights and freedoms against us. What was the president’s response and Secretary Clinton and Senator Sanders answer? Not to condemn radical Islam, and their believe that it is okay to kill gays or anyone they deem to be infidels. No! They just want Americans to give up more of their freedoms and their property. That is the easy way out. The law-abiding fun owners in this coun-
try pose no threat and they know it. But radical Islamic terrorist will kill them if given the chance. Guess whose butt gets kissed. When Benghazi was attacked, the answer to that was to blame a YouTube video. They promised to go after the producer of that video. No thought to the First Amendment. After 9/11, we got the Patriot Act. We all know how this has turned out. Not really for the good. I have lost count of how many terrorist attacks in this country have been done with guns. The shooters have all passed background checks. But the answer from the Democrats has always been the same. Those who have done nothing wrong must give up their rights. At what point do the leaders stand up and say, “No we will not give into you. Our way of life is superior to yours. Freedom is more important than being politically or religiously correct.” Hillary speaking today said we should not attack Muslims in the country as payback. She is absolutely right: We should never blame all of a group on the evil acts of a few. How about extending that courtesy to the gun owners of America? Our right to own guns, our right to speak as we please, our right not to be pawed and groped before we get on a plane. Our right to private phone calls and emails. No government spying on us without a warrant. These things happen. So I ask who is winning this war, the terrorists or us? Raynard Corrow Indian Lake
ThankÊ youÊ forÊ lettingÊ meÊ beÊ heard To the Editor: I would like to thank you and everyone at your newspaper for printing my recent letters. Having a place to address my concern has brought me some relief. If I were to say I was disappointed after the last board meeting, it would be an understatement. With my ability to speak taken away, you gratuitously gave me an opportunity to be heard. That means a lot to me. As far as I know this is still the U.S.A. and we still have the right to free speech. Unless that has changed, you think I would have heard something about it. Okay, I am sorry, I will resist the urge to ramble on. This letter was intended to be a thank you to those of you at the newspaper. So let me close with a heart felt thank you. Keith L. Parent Athol / Thurman
NewÊ membersÊ andÊ trainingsÊ keepsÊ HagueÊ FireÊ DepartmentÊ busy To the Editor: The Hague Fire Department and EMS squad has been very busy this spring with training and calls. The department has been training weekly, and welcomes Nate Swinton as a new junior member to the department. A drill was recently held with the Boy Scouts, where airbags were place under a truck to lift it up off a rescue manikin. EMS has a new EMT. Congratulations to Aren Witherell on passing her state exam and becoming a certified EMT-B. Connie Swinton has also joined the squad and hopes to take the EMT class in the future. Training was held on our newest piece of equipment, the LUCAS mechanical CPR machine. The LUCAS automatically performs chest compressions at a rate of 102 per minute, and at exactly the proper depth. This will allow continuous CPR and responders can concentrate on airway and defibrillation. The department will host a community CPR class teaching the public how to recognize cardiac arrest, check for a pulse and deliver chest compressions properly Wednesday, June 29, at the Department, at 7 p.m. For information on this class, please contact ambulance captain Meg Haskell at 543-6059.

COMMENTARY
Little Bits Happy summer! Gordie Little
Columnist
I
began writing this column in a conflicted state. I’ve always been a bit of an opportunist, taking things as they come and trodding the road less traveled. I awoke at 4:22 a.m. this past Monday and, sipping coffee on our enclosed back deck along the Saranac, I offered my daily prayer of gratitude and praise for the vista before me. It was dark at the time, but watching the sun rise is a special thrill matched only by watching it go down. The first hummingbirds darted in for an early sip. The blue herons (we call them “Big Birds”) lumbered up the river. The birdsongs melded into a glorious melody, all the lovelier because they were composing a tribute to the first day of summer. I felt blessed to observe Mother Nature at her very best. Not only did she greet summer, but shared it with a lovely full moon—first time that happened since 1967. Were you aware of that confluence? Native Americans called it a “strawberry moon,” not because it was that color, but because it marked the beginning of the berry-picking season. I won’t be picking anything except lint out of my belly button, but I will follow my own advice and pay attention to whatever random thoughts drift through my muddled mind on this longest day of the year. You no doubt never gave it a second thought, but the summer solstice was a very big deal for the ancients and remains so for many. More than 25,000 visitors were expected to gather at Stonehenge in Wiltshire England for the occasion. Most everything in my life has connections to music. I performed it for many years, played it for almost 36 years on the radio and wake up every day with a melody in my head. Today was no exception. The song was Nat King Cole’s hit, “Those LazyHazy-Crazy Days of Summer” from 1963. I scoured the cobwebs under my scarce strands of white hair for other summer hits and each is a blast from the past. As you try to recall favorites of your own, let me refresh your memory: “Surfin’ Safari” by the Beach Boys, 1962; Chad & Jeremy’s “A Summer Song” from 1963; “Summer Breeze,” Seals & Crofts, 1972; “In the Summertime, Mungo Jerry, 1970; “Hot Fun in the Summertime,” Sly & the Family Stone, 1969; “Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini,” Bryan Hyland, 1969. Do you remember hearing our interview with Bryan on the radio and his appearance that night right here at Plattsburgh’s Rollerland? I do. There are many more summer song titles, melodies and lyrics rattling around in my noggin that date back to childhood and I’m sure it’s also true for you. Whether you are a druid or a music lover and constant observer of the world around you, Kaye and I and our “Little” Shangri-La wish for you and yours a super summer 2016.

EYE ON THE ARTS
Moving forward
I
n wake of a national tragedy, it is oftentimes difficult to feel like fun is appropriate. Yet it’s in a time of mourning that the enjoyment of art, music and performance can be more important than ever. We must continue to celebrate and value life and humanity. We must connect with, and stand together with our communities if we hope to help one another move forward. There are many opportunities to do so this week. The Adirondack Interpretive Center in Newcomb will host sculptor George Bumann as their artist in residence this summer. In addition to teaching art and natural history programs, Bumann’s work is on permanent display at the National Museum of Wildlife Art and the C.M. Russell Museum. His outreach programs have been featured on both the Discovery and Travel channels. On June 30, the Adirondack Interpretive Center will host a free “Meet the Artist” event at 7 p.m. Bumann will later kick off the Center’s Huntington summer lecture series with a presentation on “The Intelligence of Animals” on July 7. For more information, contact the Adirondack Interpretive Center at 518-582-2000. On June 26, alternative rock band The Versa Contrast will perform at the ROTA Studio and Gallery in Plattsburgh.

The Heavy Pets released their debut album, “Whale,” in 2007. The show begins at 6:30 p.m. Admission is free. For more information about these shows, contact the Waterhole at 518354-5441. On July 1, award-winning author Lawrence P. Gooley will present “Escape from Dannemora,” a PowerPoint presentation based on his book, “Escape from Dannemora: 170 Years of Escapes, Tortures, and Infamous Inmates at New York’s Most Notorious Prison,” at the Indian Lake Theater. His new book, “Escape from Dannemora,” was in progress when inmates Richard Matt and David Sweat escaped last June. The effort to capture them gripped the region and the nation for nearly a month.

Review: What’s your name? Hamilton still has things he hasn’t done
keith@suncommunitynews.com
I
t was not a usual vacation Saturday in New York City. The whole reason we were down there to begin with was because my daughter had her second audition for a national television show, which took most of the morning. On our way back to the car, I decided something: “I am not going to miss my shot,” to give my kids the chance to see a once in a lifetime event — Hamilton on Broadway. Hamilton is the story of founding father Alexander Hamilton, his rise to power as a lawyer, revolutionary and first Secretary of the Treasury in the United States. The show is set to a modern soundtrack, as creator Lin Manuel Miranda has called Hamilton, “somebody who embodies hip-hop.” The show also explores his relationships with his wife, his friends and, of course, political rival Aaron Burr (if you know history, you know there’s a spoiler here). Tickets were a little steep — in fact, we will get back to that a little later — but the reaction of my two oldest, especially my son, who already knew every word of every song in the 11-time Tony Award-winning musical, was priceless. While it’s a little dark, I think this picture proves it. Here’s what Lawrence, my right-hand man, thought: “I thought Hamilton was very, very good. I laughed, I cried, and I loved every second of it. The characters were compelling and very relatable. Some people also played more than one character. Thomas Jefferson was really funny. The dynamic between Laurence, Lafayette, and Mulligan was really compelling, The character of King George III was hilarious, The Schuyler sisters were really good, Aron Burr was very compelling, and Alexander Hamilton was so good. Alexander was funny, he was serious, he was sad. Everyone had amazing performances. “The music also really made it amazing. The play is hiphop. There is rapping, singing, and dancing. You really have to listen to the music to understand how good it is. Eliza Hamilton is amazing, Daveed Diggs who plays Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson was an amazing rapper, and Burr is really patient wile he sings. “The play is an amazing achievement in musicals and if you have the chance to see it you will not regret it.” And Malynda’s thoughts: “Many people have heard about the musical Hamilton. Whether you’re a Broadway fanatic, or just someone who’s
heard about it on the news somewhere, the point is, you’ve probably heard of it. Nominated for 16 Tony’s and winning 11 of them, some people may wonder if all this Hamilton hype is worth it. For me, the answer is 100 percent yes. Not only does the musical make the story of one of our founding fathers fun to watch, but it adds the element of music and emotion. The songs are very well thought out, and the actors and actresses play their parts perfectly. The play will make you laugh, cry, and it will definitely make you want to stand up out of your seats and dance. Not many people can combine rapping and the life story of Alexander Hamilton, but if you have the chance, I would definitely watch (if you can get tickets, at least).” Doubt I could say it better. This was the best thing I have seen on a stage. There are no slow moments, as one songs winds into another and the main, thematic songs are intertwined into the other works all the way through to the last note. So, here’s the thing, at the beginning of the play, Hamilton says there’s, “a million things (he) hasn’t done, just you wait...” Well, some of those things we had to wait until the 21st century to see. First off, the musical has changed the course of modern currency. When it was announced there would a woman gracing the front of a bill, that person was supposed to replace Alexander Hamilton, the “$10 founding father.” That line, alone, moved Harriett Tubman to the $20, replacing Andrew Jackson. In the announcement, Department of Treasury officials acknowledged the change was made because of the musical, showing what happens when someone does a masterful job to, “tell his story.” Lawrence Lobdell stands with his ticket for the show Hamilton as he prepares to enter That’s one way Hamilton has changed modern the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York City. life, and here’s the other: New York State Attorney have coughed ‘Hamilton,� under his breath here), denying orGeneral Eric T.

This stems from the report (which, “However, my office’s investigation and report show that trust me, I know is true) that tickets soared online when word bots are only part of the rigged ticketing game.

LaChute Shooters bring youth from local schools together on the court By Keith Lobdell
keith@suncommunitynews.com
TICONDEROGA — Youth from our local schools have come together again this summer basketball season to create the LaChute Shooters AAU girls basketball team. The squad, headed by Jason Hughes, brings local talent together from Ticonderoga, Schroon Lake, Bolton and Johnsburg to form a roster with 12 players who compete in tournaments throughout the region over the summer months. “They are a very hardworking group,” Hughes said. “It has been great to see them develop their basketball skills as well as develop friendships outside of the gym. It has been awesome to see them each extend their friendship circles outside of their schools.” Hughes said the team is young, with 10 of the players sophomores or younger, but feels they have the ability to compete against older teams and improve their skills by playing stiffer competition. “We have had a good season so far,” he said. “There has been some great competition and we have been able to hold our own with a young team.” The players have been enjoying the experience. “I was playing in the winter against Minerva/Newcomb and was asked about playing for this team,” Johnsburg freshman Khaleah Cleveland said. “I just love the sport of basketball and I want to keep learning and everything a ball player could learn.” “Coach Hughes told me he was starting a team a couple years ago and I wanted to improve my skills,” said Schroon
Lake junior Corrine Pelkey. “I am hoping to be able to improve on being able to finish with the ball and everything else I have been working on.” “I started three years ago and Jay has been so supportive during our season and will be at a lot of our games during the school year,” Bolton junior Caitlyn Johnson said. “My goal is to get to college and play the sport, and this really helps me prepare for it. I also want to gain more knowledge of the game and bring it back to my team.” “My friend (Emily Pike) plays for this team and I wanted to join her,” Ticonderoga freshman Saidi St. Andrews said. “I want to improve my skills and develop my shooting technique here.”

Library kids adopt soldiers
Historical society seeks local heroes
Sembrich Film Festival set to kick off
HORICON — For the second year the children that take part in the summer reading program sponsored by the Friends of Horicon Library are collecting items and donations that they will use to fill boxes to send to soldiers through out the world. They will be working with Cliff Sequin of the Saratoga-based Adopt A Soldier Program. Last year, they donated 33 boxes filled with toiletries, cosmetics, puzzle books, hard candy, gum, snacks, pens and paper, insect repellent wipes and other items. If people donate money the children are each given $20 and they go shopping themselves. Anyone who would like to donate can drop donations off to the Horicon Town Hall or call 260-0043 to have them picked up. Monetary donations can be sent to The Friends of Horicon Library, Po Box 121, Brant Lake, New York. If people know of a soldier and would like to have a box sent, call and let the library know.
WARRENSBURG — The Warrensburg Historical Society is looking for assistance in researching stories about local military veterans that served in one of the Conflicts from World War I through the present.

One Hundred Years Ago – June, 1916 Happy days are here At 1:30 p.m., June 10, 1916, “a score of factory whistles in Glens Falls blasted to celebrate the selection one hour and ten minutes earlier in Chicago, of Glens Falls native son Charles Evans Hughes, 54, as Republican nominee for president of the United States. He is surely one of the most successful and illustrious persons to ever come from Glens and his native city was proud to call him their native son. Hughes was born on Maple Street on April 11, 1862 at the height of the Civil War and on December 5, 1888 he married Ellen Antoinette Carter and they had four children, Helen, Catherine, Elizabeth and Charles Hughes Jr. (Note – Although personal jabs and name calling have become common in the presidential campaigning days of 2016, a hundred years ago numerous insults were also sent flying. Hughes was known as honest, dignified and not very exciting. Competitor Teddy Roosevelt called him “the bearded lady.”)
Gala celebration It was a day of rejoicing on June 13, 1916 in the parish of the Warrensburgh Church of the Holy Cross. It was a day set aside by the townspeople and parishioners for the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the consecration of the church. The congregation joined in the impressive ceremonies and participating with them were many friends of the parish and visitors came from abroad. At noon a collation prepared by the ladies of the congregation was served on the lawn in the rear of the church and was enjoyed by the entire assembly. The Warrensburgh Band played during the hour from 12 to 1 and the music afforded much pleasure. While the meal was in progress dark clouds gathered and soon a brief shower drove the diners to shelter, but not until their hunger had been satisfied. Henry Griffing, a warden of the church since its beginning, at the request of the vestry, had prepared a historical sketch of the parish, the reading of which concluded the day’s program.

Bad driving causing crashes Driven by a careless and admittedly inexperienced motorist, a Ford car, Saturday, May 27, 1916 ran into the curbing in front of Tennyson’s store in Johnsburgh, smashing the car somewhat. The next day, Mr. and Mrs. William Johnson, of Horicon, riding in a Ford car toward Warrensburgh, driven by Mr. Johnson, ran into a telephone pole causing them considerable inconvenience.
Dancing pavilion to open B.C. Green, of Lake George, announces the opening on July 4, 1916 of a large open air dancing pavilion he had just completed on his property at Snug Harbor, just north of the county court house, in that village. Two dances will be given on the fourth, afternoon and evening, and similar entertainments will be given twice weekly during the summer until Labor Day. Tierney’s Orchestra, of Glens Falls, has been engaged to furnish the music for the season. (Note – Benjamin Green’s “Tourist Camp,” was in the vicinity of what is today known as the “Million Dollar Beach,” at the head of Lake George. He had bungalows and tents to rent to tourists. Ben died in Florida. His son, Robert Greene today lives in North Warrensburgh and over the years has told me many interesting stories about his growing up in this well known tourist spot.)
Former governor, a shattered man Shattered in health, his money gone, Ex- Governor John A. Dix, who is well known personally here and hereabouts, has been forced to abandon his future plans. He is now trying to
The Adirondack Journal Sun • June 25, 2016 | 13
regain his health on a ranch near Montecito, California. He is quoted as saying, “Were I to be Governor of New York again I know of nothing which I would do differently than was done by me during my term. I went into office a strong, rugged man and came back to private life shattered in health. It would take more than one man of iron to serve as Governor of New York state and not break down under the strain, unless he is willing to take the system as he finds it and go with the current.” The Dixes, who formerly knew success in the lumber business once took a house in Albany and began to entertain lavishly. Mrs. Dix soon became a social dictator. Governor Dix said, “Leaving the Governor’s chair in ill health, I faced business entanglements brought about solely by the war, which tied up the lumber markets of the country even on this (west) coast. I was ordered to Honolulu to recuperate.” (Note – Reading current newspapers, it would seem that politics have changed little in Albany during the past one hundred years. Being governor is not a job for the faint of heart. Dix Avenue is an important route in Glens Falls and I doubt if many people know from whence it received its name.)
Wedding bells ringing Warren Wescott, of Johnsburgh and Miss Ella Georgia Montgomery, of Wevertown, were quietly married on April 22, 1916 at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Montgomery. Mark Stewart and Miss Mabelie Grogean were the attendants. Edwin J. Little, of Johnsburgh and Miss Ethel A. Moston, of Wevertown, were married in Saratoga Springs on Saturday, May 27, 1916 by the Rev. G.C. Douglass. The attendants were Miss Cora Glassbrook and Royal J. Smith, of Glens Falls. The couple will establish their home in Albany. Earl A. Steward and Miss Augusta V. Clarke, of Warrensburgh, formerly of Brooklyn, were married by the Rev. S.R. Brown on Monday evening, May 29, 21916 at the Presbyterian Manse. Charles Stewart and Miss Barbara Stewart, brother and sister of the bridegroom were the attendants.

GLENS FALLS — The Glens Falls Foundation has been awarded $180,000 in grants to three community organizations for new efforts to fight inter generational poverty and help families in crisis in Warren, Washington and northern Saratoga counties. Initially, the Glens Falls Foundation planned to award a single $60,000 grant but found the proposed programs so compelling it ultimately decided to award $60,000 to each of the three applicants: • The Open Door Mission, which serves more than 20,000 meals annually and operates an emergency shelter for homeless people, will receive $60,000 to support a broad expansion of its outreach programs and its facilities. • Crandall Public Library will receive $60,000 to create the first local, centralized community information resource, including a web portal and database, to connect people in poverty or without jobs with services, training and support they need. • The Family Service Association of Glens Falls will receive $60,000 to develop a new educational and long-term support program to help struggling families achieve economic independence and move out of poverty by collaborating with Adirondack Samaritan Counseling Center, schools and business in the communities.
Transfer Station to close for holiday WARRENSBURG — The Warrensburg Transfer Station will be closed Sunday, July 3 and Monday, July 4, and will resume regular hours Tuesday, July 5, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Note that a new fee schedule is in effect for bagged garbage, new prices are posted at the Landfill and are available on the Town’s website.
Library to celebrate 100th birthday ADIRONDACKS — The Holland Patent Free Library will be celebrating its 100th birthday July 5 through July 16. In honor of this event, library officials will be holding a silent auction of autographed Adirondack books (books written by Adirondack writers, books authored by summer resident Adirondack writers, or books whose plot focuses on the Adirondacks). Buyers will be able to peruse the list of books prior to the event at midyorklib.org/hollandpatent. Starting July 5 buyers may bid directly at the Holland Patent Free Library or they may call the library at 865-5034. Bidding closes Saturday, July 16, at 2 p.m. Winners will be notified by telephone and winning books will be picked up from the library. Call Carol Moseman, silent auction organizer, at 865-5077 or 269-4946 for further information.
Town to hold shredder document day WARRENSBURG — The town will hold a shredder document day for Warrensburg residents Saturday, Sept. 10, at the Warrensburg Town Hall, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. This is for Warrensburg residents only. There will be a fee charged of $2 per box.

ceived by the town, is on hold for a bit while the bridge from Richards Avenue to River Street gets painted by the state Department of Transportation. Once complete, work will begin on an area currently known as Duck Park. Officials aren’t sure if the name will stay, but for now, the ducks appear to be in residence for good. Chris Belden, town zoning administrator, said, “A majority of it’s going to be turned into green space. We’ll have a gazebo, picnic tables and benches.” Patty Monahan, grant administrator/bookkeeper, has worked closely Belden on the park.
Like was done for the medical building’s ribbon cutting ceremony, Belden explained, Water Street could be closed for certain events, with flow of people and activities encompassing the roadway, Cal Engle and Duck parks. Information about the history of the area will also be on display in some capacity. At one point, what now looks like a roadside parking area, housed buildings overlooking the water. Those water views are now unobstructed and will be seen from Cal Engle Park across the street, as well. Work on Duck Park is expected begin in the fall. ABOVE: A plan for Cal Engle Park shows tiered seating overlooking a stage-like area for performances.
