LAKE LUZERNE Ñ Two Luzerne men were arrested for committing a hate crime on Sunday, June 14, when they allegedly drove by two men holding hands as they walked down Pierpont Road, fired a semiautomatic BB pistol at the pair while shouting homophobic slurs.

The Warren County Sheriff’s Office was called to the area for a call of shots fired.

They learned that the victims continued up Pierpont Road and their alleged attackers circled back around and repeated their actions. At that point the victims fled the area and ran to one of their homes for safety.

The victims were able to view the suspect vehicle drive by the home slowly as if the occupants were continuing to look for them.

Officers patrolling the area located the suspect vehicle, a 2007 Saturn Vue, at the Cumberland Farms in Lake Luzerne.

The weapon used in the attack was located inside the vehicle and determined at that

Thurman’s ‘white space’ broadband project awarded as ‘Most Innovative’ in NYS

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com THURMAN — Thurman’s effort to provide its residents and businesses with high-speed internet Ñ a project thatÕ s received national attention Ñ won a top statewide award recently.

The townÕ s wireless Ò white spaceÓ broadband development project won the “Most Innovative Project” award presented by state officials during the New York State 2015 Broadband Sum-

mit.

The multi-day conference, held at the Desmond Hotel in Colonie, hosted more than 350 communications executives, consultants, along with state and municipal officials.

The award Ñ hailing the work of the Town of Thurman, Rainmaker Network Services and Frontier Communications Ñ was one of only seven presented by officials of the NYS Empire State Development agency.

The award was accepted by Thurman Town Supervisor Evelyn Wood, Fred Engelmann of Rainmaker Network Services and

Participating in the presentation of the 2015 NYS Broadband ‘Most Innovative Project’ award at the statewide Broadband Summit June 11 were (left to right): New York State Broadband Program Executive Director David Salway, Frontier Communications engineering director Steve Kolek, Frontier NY North General Manager Todd Rulison, Thurman Town Supervisor Evelyn Wood, Fred Engelmann of Rainmaker Network Services, Lynn Engelmann, and Ava Ashendorff of Chestertown, liaison between Rainmaker Network and Thurman.

representatives of Frontier Communications, which provided the trunk line for the wireless broadband service thatÕ s now in its first phase of implementation in Thurman.

The day after the awards banquet, Evelyn Wood served on a panel giving a presentation at the conference concerning how municipalities can successfully collaborate with other entities on broadband projects.

With the “white space” technology, first utilized in Europe but rare in the U.S., data signals are broadcast wirelessly into homes over unused frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum existing between vintage analog television channels. Unlike cellphone and wi-fi frequencies, white space transmission travels good distances in rural, wooded and hilly areas.

The conference was hosted by New York State Empire State Development agency. David Salway, Executive Director of the state’s Broadband program office, presented the awards at the Broadband Summit.

Speaking at the awards banquet, Salway praised ThurmanÕ s local government for embracing the new technology, and he complimented Rainmaker and Frontier for collaborating on the project. Ò By implementing an innovative white space network, Thurman found a way to provide Internet service to a rural area without the need for a large amount of costly infrastructure,Ó Salway said, noting the low population of the town and the hilly terrain which presents challenges for other technologies. Ò Where there was once only dial-up and satellite service, Thurman citizens will have reliable high-speed Internet at affordable rates.”

The Thurman residents and business owners who have so far been connected to the white space data transmission have praised its lightning-fast speed, its lack of blackouts and its fast uploading and downloading, and lack of data caps or throttling Ñ as well as its low price.

ThurmanÕ s white space broadband project Ñ funded by a $200,000 state grant and considered a successful public-private partnership Ñ has received national attention as a way to bring affordable, reliable Internet access to rural, sparsely settled communities across the nation.

The Thurman households now connected to white space broadband are located on South Johnsburg and Valley roads. The 12 subscribing households are paying $50 per month for the service, plus an up-front equipment charge of $292.

The project has not progressed as fast as planned because of delays prompted by a few town board members whoÕ ve opposed the project, as well as some residents declining to grant easements for transmission poles to be erected on their property or power lines to cross their land. These latter issues caused several monthsÕ delay while the network was redesigned to accommodate ThurmanÕ s topology. Regardless of the re-engineering, the project is projected to come in at or below its budget, Engelmann said this week.

Engelmann predicted that 40 to 50 more households will be connected to the white space service this summer.

In presenting the award for the Thurman project, Salway noted how competitive the award competition was Ñ 40 different projects were nominated for the honors presented this year, he said. Ò These are the Ô best of the bestÕ projects, and the Ô best of the bestÕ people and their hard work and dedication,Ó he said to the audience.

New York State’s 2015 Broadband Champion/Economic Leadership Award was granted to Frontier Communications for its work in rural Hamilton County, where broadband was extended to 90 percent of the countyÕ s residents via extension of optic cable and upgrading of switching equipment in a project underwritten by a $2.5 million state grant.

After being presented with the “Most Innovative” award at the banquet, Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Wood, who successfully fought political opposition to white space broadband and worked countless hours to ring broadband to residents of her town, offered her thoughts. Ò WeÕ re so very pleased to be recognized and awarded like this, she said. Ò To be a town in the Adirondacks with a small population and get this statewide recognition is a wonderful thing for our residents. They deserve to have reliable, high-speed Internet like people in metropolitan areas,Ó she added, noting how the white space Internet service is now boosting the local economy, creating new jobs, offering students access resources, and allowing people to work from their rural homes.

Train trips to offer trolley connection to Lake George; guide to serve on Saratoga runs

By Thom Randall

on Friday, but without the trolley connection.

thom@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK Ñ Passenger-train services operated by the Saratoga-North Creek Railway will be incorporating new amenities this summer Ñ a onboard guide offering information about area attractions on trips from Saratoga to North Creek, as well as a trolley ride providing transportation from Lake George to Thurman Station for the railwayÕ s North End Local weekend tourist service.

On summer Saturdays and Sundays Ñ beginning on July 4 Ñ trolleys are to depart at both 9 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. from near the steel pier on Beach Road in Lake George Village to take people to Thurman to meet up with the 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. North End Local trains to North Creek. During that elapsed hour, the trolley may be making stops along the way at several local motels to pick up people at several local motels who have pre-arranged train reservations as well as on Richards Ave. in Warrensburg at about 9:10 a.m. and 12:40 p.m. The trolley will arrive at Thurman Station about 40 minutes before the North End Local trips depart for North Creek, so passengers can experience artisans, musicians and entrepreneurs at the train station demonstrating or exhibiting their talents.

The trolley also meets the passengers when they return to Thurman station, leaving from the station at 12:50 p.m. and 3:50 p.m. for arrival back in Lake George at 1:15 p.m. and 4:15 p.m.

The trolley service is $2 one-way, cash only Ñ but half-price for

Thurman rolls out red carpet for summer THURMAN — Saturdays and Mondays in Thurman throughout July and August will offer special treats twice a week. Kicking off the season will be the first session of the North End Local Showcase at Thurman Station, 799 route 418, held in cooperation with the Saratoga and North Creek Railway.

Each Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., two or three artisans, organizations and businesses will be on hand to welcome to Thurman Station both local folks and visitors who arrive by car and trolley from Lake George Village. In this series offered by Thurman Station Association, they will share local information, showing off their products or touting their causes, often with interactive demonstrations.

The series will kick off Saturday, July 4, with two artisans and an author of historical fiction. Winefred Martin will teach how to make paper beads and sell her Lucyann jewelry and stained glass stepping stones. Donna Wormwood will display and sell Adirondack Rustic Miniature scale and half scale furniture and Wild by Nature watercolors, demonstrating her panting technique. Persis Granger will don the garb of the 1890s, invite visitors to help churn butter and sample the finished product while she talks about life in Thurman the 1890s, the setting of her novels. Also, precisely at noon on Saturdays, visi-

tors are welcome to visit Nettle Meadow Farm, 484 South Johnsburg Road, for a free guided farm tour followed by a tasting of their nationally-distributed cheeses.

Thurman’s free Monday Night Concerts in the Park begin Monday, July 6, with the rollicking tunes of Rockabilly Hall of Fame recording artist, Marty Wendell and His Tour Band, performing at Veterans’ Memorial Field, 311 Athol Road, from 7 to 9 p.m.

Young children are invited on this first concert night to arrive at 6 p.m., an hour before concert time, to enjoy the Thurman Book Connection Ice Cream Social for young readers. Kids may take home books to read and share with family members. Kids should bring Mom or Dad, Grandma or Grandpa and stay for the concert at 7 p.m.

Concert guests may wish to bring a folding chair, and should wear layered clothing for fickle mountain weather.

Thurman Monday Night Concerts in the Park have been made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and administered by LARAC/Lower Adirondack Regional Arts Council., and by funding from Warren County occupancy tax dollars.

Also, a guide is now on duty on several of the train trips from Saratoga to North Creek Ñ to offer information to passengers.

Sher Millis of Lake Luzerne, a train enthusiast, is now serving as the guide on behalf of the First Wilderness Corridor program Ñ on Saturday and Sunday train trips in June, September and October; and on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday in July and August. All depart Saratoga at 10 a.m. The position is sponsored by the Saratoga-North Creek Railway and the town of Lake Luzerne.

Pam Morin, First Wilderness program coordinator said this week that Millis is greeting passengers and informing them about local attractions, landmarks, amenities and events.

During the three-hour layovers in North Creek, Millis is soon likely to be on duty at the new First Wilderness welcome center, expected to be situated in the former Smith’s Restaurant on Main St. in North Creek — as well as on the North Creek Depot Museum, on the station platform and on the return trips, Morin said.

Justin Gonyo, general manager of the Saratoga-North Creek Railway, said these new amenities were possible through the collaboration of local municipalities, Greater Glens Falls Transit and the railway, as well as the First Wilderness program. Ò These new services offer convenience to passengers, while enhancing the experience of the scenic train rides,Ó Gonyo said.

Theories, intrigue hangs over Owls Head as authorities tighten net

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com OWLS HEAD — It’s become a familiar routine: A resident noticed something amiss, picked up the phone and called in a tip.

At the other end, an official disconnected the line and mobilized the troops.

Soon, helicopters whirred overhead as search beams cut through the clouds and caravans of official vehicles skulked through previously sedate communities.

Now, in this remote pocket of the northern Adirondacks, armed officials man the fields and roads, shotguns and semiautomatic weapons pointed skyward.

Officials confirmed Monday that DNA matching the two killers who escaped from a maximum security prison more than two weeks ago was found in a cabin in Mountain View, about 25 miles west of Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora.

Investigators believed the men had been there within the previous 48 hours.

And they believe the net is tightening.

At the Trailside Restaurant and Bar on Route 27, where the nightÕ s special was chicken wings for 60 cents a pop, residents took pulls from Budweisers, shot pool and discussed the manhunt that has now been dropped onto their doorsteps.

Owls Head is a place where not much happens, say residents.

Not many folks live here year-round, said Paula Follett, a seasonal resident from Brushton.

It’s mostly seasonal homes and camps, a remote place with patchy cell service where you go to get away from it all.

And trees.

“It’s the type of woods that people don’t go in,” said Follett.

The ongoing manhunt, involving some 1,000 law enforcement officials, was sparked when a seasonal resident noticed something amiss at his cabin on Wolf Pond Road.

Robocalls went out on Sunday evening warning residents to lock their doors and stay inside.

Follett and her folks have a cabin in town, too, not far from the road that residents describe as perfect for a getaway Ñ rough, even unpaved in parts, and untended with plenty of places to hide.

Franklin County houses several correctional facilities and many officers have camps in the Owls Head area, including the Folletts and Mike Curtin, who lives on Ragged Road, the epicenter of the search, about four miles from the cabin where the inmatesÕ items were discovered.

Like other retired corrections officers interviewed for this story, Curtin hoped the two escapees, Richard Matt and David Sweat, would be captured alive Ñ or at least one of them.

Curtin recalled the complexity of the escape, which saw the pair cutting through the steel wall at the back of their cells be-

fore scaling a catwalk and burrowing through a brick wall before crawling through a steam pipe, where they snaked their way to freedom, exiting through a manhole cover.

Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie has said the operation may have been in the works for months, if not years.

“I really want to know how all this came about,” said Curtin.

Only one arrest has been made in connection with the escape — Joyce Mitchell, a prison seamstress who is being accused of providing the inmates with a hacksaw and a chisel, among other tools, to aid their escape Ñ while another prison staffer, Gene Palmer, was placed on administrative leave last week.

Curtin was skeptical to cast the light towards a fellow officer: Palmer, whose attorney did not respond for comment for this story, worked as an inmate escort, ferrying inmates, including the escapees, to and from their work detail.

Matt even gave Palmer a painting.

“With that many years in the system, 27-28 years, I don’t understand why he would help them,Ó said Curtin.

Vilas, too, was dumbstruck and wanted answers: “How they got out of that place was amazing,” he said. “I’d love to have seen [the correction officer’s] face when they discovered they were missing.Ó

While Follett spent his career at Franklin Correctional Facility, a medium-security facility in nearby Malone, many procedures are similar, like bed counts, for instance.

“You check for movement, breathing,” he said. “Maybe run your baton up against the bars.Ó The investigation into the escape is ongoing, said Charles Guess, the state police major who is spearheading the investigation, on Monday.

Guess declined to elaborate on the nature of the manhunt, which has mobilized the most law enforcement officials yet, only to say authorities were pursuing an Ò aggressiveÓ lead.

Outside, official vehicles continued to pour into Owls Head; DOCCS guards methodologically examined trunks and the halogen spotlights burned brighter as darkness fell.

Follett said more tips from their neighbors were sure to follow as schools dismissed their students for the summer and families began to trickle back to the area.

In windows throughout the countryside, televisions flickered with evening news reports.

On Titus Mountain, the command post, choppers circled.

The hunt continued.

Chester youth wins statewide anti-smoking poster contest

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — Posters that two young students have created in a regional anti-smoking program have won a statewide contest.

Kiana LaGuerre of Chestertown, a 4th grader at North Warren Elementary School won first place for her poster, created as a project of Warren County Health DepartmentÕ s Ò Tar WarsÓ program.

The poster contest was sponsored by the American Academy of Family Physicians, and judged by doctors and health care professionals based in Albany.

Winning second place in the state was Cara Lane, a fourth grader at Queensbury Elementary School.

KianaÕ s poster depicts a rainbow emanating from a treasure chest unlocked by a golden key.

Headlined Ò Tobacco Free is the key....Ó Ñ the sentence is completed with these slogans: Ó to a healthy life,Ó Ò a strong heart,Ó Ò whiter teeth,Ó Ò more energy,Ó Ò healthy skinÓ and Ò more money.Ó These two young students and several dozen others were recognized in a presentation June 19 hosted by the Warren County Board of Supervisors.

The Tar Wars program is conducted annually in most of the countyÕ s 4th and 5th grade classrooms. This year, every school in the county participated in the classroom-based anti-tobacco education.

Warren County Health Educator Dan Durkee

has been conducting the program for about 13 years. Generally, he spends six to eight hours per week in the schools during the second semester.

In the poster contest, teachers select the top four posters to represent their schools, and these nominees are displayed in the hallways of the county Municipal Center. Next, county employees cast votes to select the top poster from each school to be entered in the statewide contest.

These semi-finalist entries are sent to Albany for judging by officials of the physicians’ organization.

Next, county Health Department personnel create a calendar that contains reproductions of

the top posters. Between 2,000 and 2,500 calendars are printed and sent to each 5th and 6th grader in November of the following school year.

Other top winners in the county level of the poster contest include: Jane Trowbridge and Lily Detrick at Bolton Central School; Kailey Bacon and Kara Bacon of Warrensburg Elementary; Tiffany Cornelius and Hannah Wilson of Lake George Elementary, Kaida Brown of North Warren Elementary; Dominic Selleck and Aleesha Washburn of Johnsburg Central, Lindsey Grey and Hannah Johnson of Hadley-Luzerne Elementary; Jillian Murray and Sophia Nadi of St. Mary’s Academy; Emma Barrett of Queensbury Middle School; Dan Agui-

lar of Jackson Heights Elementary, Kate Crandall of Kensington Road Elementary; Holly Walton of Big Cross Elementary; and Ashley Bordeaux of Glens Falls Middle School.

In the June 19 presentation to county leaders, Durkee noted that tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the U.S. He added that although smoking rates have declined in the state in the last 15 years, the rates for smokers with lower incomes, lower educational attainment or mental illness have not.

He warned that 12,900 youth under 18 become new daily smokers each year and 107,000 high school students in New York State currently smoke.

He also observed that smoking harms others Ñ about 3,000 nonsmoking adults in the state die each year from diseases caused by secondhand smoke every year Ñ and that more than a million children in the state are exposed to secondhand smoke in their own homes every year.

June 19, county supervisors applauded Durkee and the children attending their meeting for their involvement in the anti-smoking program.

Later, area political watchdog Travis Whitehead of Queensbury urged that the county invest more in the anti-tobacco education than is being spent on it now Ñ $7,500.

ABOVE: This poster, created by Kiana LaGuerre of Chestertown, was the first prize winner in a statewide anti-smoking poster contest sponsored by the American Academy of Family Physicians.

Our thoughts for area grads

G

raduates, your time has finally come. No more gym, full-day/5-day a week classes or dreaded school lunches. For some of you, it may mean more math. For others, it could mean more home economics. For all, it means advice Ñ advice from parents, friends, teachers and mentors. Now itÕ s our turn: You’re done. For those of you who have mapped out your life trajectory — congrats. We’re sure youÕ ll make all the right moves and be successful in your career path. Still unsure? There is no need to be alarmed. Go out there and gain some life experience, be it travel, working a dirty job or learning a vocational skill. After a year, if you decide to pursue higher education, you’ll find yourself more well-rounded and adjusted than your classmates who leapt headfirst into a diploma mill. Ñ R yan Edwards With high school graduations in full swing, many already have an idea of whatÕ s next Ñ at least whatÕ s in the short term, whether itÕ s college, trade school or right into a job. HereÕ s the thing: You’re 18 (or so). You’ve got time. You wouldn’t take out a loan for a house or car sight unseen, so why do the same for a potential career? Get your hands dirty, take risks, seek an internship or apprenticeship. Try before you buy, and have some fun doing so along the way. Ñ Andrew Johnstone Congrats, graduates! You’re on your way to bigger and brighter things. For those of you going off to college, try new things. With college, the possibilities of what you can accomplish are endless. Start off slow your first year. Get a feel of your classes, teachers and homework load. Take a few electives and general education courses. Who knows? You might find interest in another field. As for the graduates jumping right into the workforce, get out and get experience. Even if you start out as a burger flipper or cashier, take it as an opportunity to build skills and work your way up. We all have to start somewhere. This is your time to start anew.

DonÕ t be afraid. ÑT eah Dowling Two pieces of advice come from one of the greatest Òs portsÓ speeches every given in my lifetime. The first is, “...Spend each day with some laughter and some thought, to get you’re emotions going. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that’s a full day. That’s a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you’re going to have something special.” Make sure you take time out of everyday to reflect on the important things, the things that bring you emotion. Don’t spend your days as a robot going through the motions in college or a new career or whatever it may be. Make time to laugh with friends and family or find something you will see that will make you chuckle. Make time to think about life and all the possibilities it brings along with those who you affect and who affect you. While it may not be a full-on water works, make time everyday to feel your emotions. The second piece of advice from this same speech, given by Jim Valvano, is his most famous line: ÒD onÕ t give up. DonÕ t ever give up.Ó Ñ K eith Lobdell 您好. The relationship between the United States and Mainland China is fast becoming the worldÕ s most important bilateral relationship. The future is dotted with an increasing constellation of contact points between the two heavyweights, including the financial sector, education and tourism. Part of any successful career toolbox is cultivating the skills required to navigate between these two cultures. While thereÕ s no need to become an expert, try to take advantage of every opportunity that will lead to increased cultural fluency, from taking a language class to hanging out with foreign pals. 好好学习 天天向上.

Originality means more To the Editor, I have been reading with interest the exchange between Mr. Binczik and Mr. Sharkey on the Pledge of Allegiance; and I think it’s time to approach this subject from a different perspective. Putting aside for a moment the notions of politics, ideology and faith letÕ s explore the poetry of the PledgeÕ s language.

I remember reciting the Pledge in Third Grade, before Congress took on the responsibility to sanctify its universal appeal. It was not too long after the end of World War II, and each morning I stood in the classroom facing the flag, with my right hand over my heart and, with the other eight and nine-year-olds, intoning the resonant cadences of affirmation of loyalty to my country in words precisely juxtaposed to heighten their impact: Ò . . . one Nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.Ó

The Pledge achieves its power because its author toiled to place the right word in the right position while maintaining a certain beat and cadence as if the meter performs the function of a drum. To alter that spoils the effect. One cannot perfect perfection. Inserting the phrase Ò under G-dÓ not only skews the cadence it corrupts the interface between Ò one NationÓ and Ò indivisibleÓ , diminishing the power of each. Ò NationÓ implies a multitude, and in the case of America, a diverse multitude. “Indivisible” implies a singularity. “ . . . one Nation, indivisible . . .Ó joins these two opposites in a profound way. The words Ò under G-dÓ , from the perspective of good poetry, dilutes the impact and compromises their meaning.

In my opinion, Congress should rescind the 61-year-old law and reinstate the Pledge in the form itÕ s author intended, so we can once again think of ourselves as “ . . . one Nation, indivisible . . .”; and I have faith the Deity will take care of Itself.

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden The name is in the game

Warren County Airport was renamed Floyd Bennett Airport in the fall of 1998 in honor of the pioneering Warrensburgh aviator, Floyd Bennett, who joined with Commander Richard E. Byrd on May 9, 1926 to make what is supposed to be the first flight made over the North Pole.

The 1926 North Pole flight was in a Fokker F. VII tri-motor plane named for Josephine Ford, the daughter of Henry FordÕ s son, Edsel Ford, who purchased the plane and donated it to Commander Byrd for his 1926 North Pole adventure. Much has been written and disputed as to whether the pair actually made it to the pole or not but at that time and now, they are given the benefit of the doubt.

quet was given him at the Colonial Arms (now Rite Aid location), followed by another one in Lake George.

On Memorial Day, 1931, after Floyd’s death, the area when the town bandstand, designed by Paul Gurney is located, was named Ò Floyd Bennett Park.” An airfield in New Jersey was named for Floyd and Floyd Bennett Air Field at Miller Hill was on “Aviation Road,” now occupied by the Queensbury School campus.

There was a Floyd Bennett Airport in Brooklyn, New York. On April 16, 1942 the U.S.S. Bennett, named for WarrensburghÕ s native son Floyd Bennett, was launched at the Boston Navy Yard. Seventy years after his death, his biggest honor of all came when plans were being made to name an airport in Glens Falls after him.

Floyd’s early years

Ran out of good luck

Floyd Bennett was born Oct. 25, 1890 on Truesdale Hill, at the home of his grandparents, John W. and Alzina Marie Baker Patrick and it is high time that we should remember just who Bennett actually was.

Floyd was the third child of Hannah Ò HenriettaÓ Harrington Patrick who had married Wallace Bennett, 38, on Jan. 3, 1888. Times were very bad for the family and in February of 1901, Henrietta was forced to spend the winter in the Warren County Home, known locally at that time as Ò The Poor House.Ó After Wallace Bennett broke his leg in April, 1901, he was allowed to reside at the institution also.

In 1927 a group of German-Irish flyers were in the news as they had become stranded at Greenly Island in Canada, near Labrador, when they were on a non-stop trip from Europe.

Floyd held the country spell bound as he rushed from his Detroit hospital bed, where he was recovering from a plane crash, accompanied by flyer Bernt Balchen, to go to their aid. He had intended to fly ByrdÕ s plane, America, across the Atlantic in 1927. The plane crashed during a trial flight and he received injuries that confined him to a hospital bed for months. He was far from well when he started making determined plans to accompany Byrd on an expedition to the South Pole

Home, sweet home

The end of the road

Floyd went on to live with his aunt and uncle, James Warren Stanton and Mary Elizabeth Bennett Stanton in North Caldwell. A photograph of this rustic old farmhouse was reproduced on scores of souvenir postcards and paintings over the next years in FloydÕ s honor and he was always represented as a poor boy that had made good to become an American hero. Floyd and the StantonÕ s later moved to Warrensburgh where Floyd spent his teenage years living at 6 Fourth Avenue.

After Floyd eventually left home and after Mary Stanton died in 1921, James Stanton hastily sold the home on Fourth Avenue and moved back to his beloved old house on Harrington Hill. It burned to the ground in 1935.

When Floyd was a teenager he worked in lumbering camps to earn money to take a six month course in mechanics, which he completed in two months and he went to work as a mechanic at the PeopleÕ s Garage in Ticonderoga.

Not much to look at

On Feb. 9, 1917 Floyd married Cora Orkins in Virginia. He was her second husband. Floyd enlisted in the Navy on Dec. 15, 1917 in Burlington, Vermont and was placed in the new Naval Aviation Wing. This sent him, a poor boy, on the path to becoming an American legend. The poverty, hardship and neglect he suffered as a child surely shaped his life long personality.

Floyd was said to have been a scant five feet, eight inches tall with a slight build. In 1953 columnist Agnes Gilligan wrote about him, “He never talked much and seemed interested in nothing but motors and automobile engines. People who tried to strike up a conversation with him could get him to comment on nothing but the weather. Sometimes he refused to talk about that.Ó My late friend, Justice of the Peace Loren Hoffman, who owned the bakery where Riverside Gallery is now located in Warrensburgh, once told me, Ò Floyd was only another kid who used to come into my bake shop, he was nobody who would ever stand out in a crowd.Ó The late Dorothy Mae Bisbee Kelly, who lived on Thomson Street, once told me that she could remember seeing Floyd drive his Uncle Warren StantonÕ s cows up the dirt road past her house on their way to pasture.

Chance meeting – Admiral Byrd

In 1925 Floyd accompanied his friend, Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd to Greenland where he acted as his mechanic and pilot. The admiral was also a fully qualified aviator but he had a bad leg. On May 29, 1926 they attempted to made the 1,535-mile trip from KingÕ s Bay, Spitsbergen to the North Pole and back in 15 and a half hours in their three-motored plane to make history. Floyd remained at the controls the full time while Byrd navigated the ship. It was a long, frightening experience. At that time Americans held their breath cheering on these adventurers.

Congress later awarded Floyd Bennett and Admiral Byrd both the Congressional Medal of Honor and on Feb. 25, 1927 it was personally given to Bennett by President Calvin Coolidge. He was also honored by the National Geographic Society.

The Queen Village welcome

When Floyd returned to his home town of Warrensburgh, festive ceremonies were given in his honor. In a parade through town, he sat in an open convertible, with his mother by his side, wearing a gleaming while Naval uniform and people sat on High Rock, which once stood on Main Street at east end of the Judd Bridge and cheered as their hero passed by down below them on the highway. A large ban-

Landing on Lake St.Agnes, he was too ill to continue and was sent to a Quebec hospital where it was discovered he had double pneumonia.

Col. Charles A. Lindbergh managed to get hold of a special antibody serum prepared by the Rockefeller Foundation that was thought might save him and Lindbergh flew over Lake George in his plane on a trip to Quebec to hopefully save BennettÕ s life. Floyd died April 25, 1928 of Ò type 3Ó pneumonia which was a type discovered to not be covered by the serum.

Admiral Byrd was at FloydÕ s bedside when he died and walked behind his coffin as it was drawn on a gun carriage through the streets of Quebec on its way to the station. Floyd was thirty-seven years old.

He was buried in Arlington National Cemetery with full honors. After FloydÕ s funeral, his mother, Henrietta Bennett, was provided with an escort of motorcycle police who returned her to her home in the Virgin Hollow section, now Sewell Street, Lake George. She died of stomach cancer soon after.

A memorable day

I was invited to the dedication ceremony, Oct. 25, 1998, of the renaming ceremony of Warren County Airport to Floyd Bennett Airport and I was escorted there by my son, Maclane Hadden in his newly restored 1933 red delivery sedan. I remember many fine people that were there that day nearly seventeen years ago, many now dead and gone.

Under a special tent set up for the occasion, former Warrensburg supervisor, Jerold Quintal, his first year in office, gave a heart warming account of FloydÕ s turbulent life and stressed how very hard life was in Warrensburg during the early years. The Honorable John D. Austin, Supervisor Louis Tessier, Supervisor Lawrence Bennett (Floyd’s cousin), Master of Ceremonies Nicholas Caimano, Pam Vogel, Dean Ackley, Francis Poutre, George Savale, Joseph Glucs, Delbert Chambers, they were all there. A letter was read by Dan Orsini from Gerald B. Solomon, who was unable to attend. Lieutenant Commader Russel Durrel III, of the Naval Reserves, directed the “Presentation of Color” and the stars and stripes proudly went marching past.

Stony Creek Supervisor John OÕ Neill, backed up by the ever popular Blue Water Boys, sang the old ballad, “Death of Floyd Bennett.” In 1998 there were 41 Bennett nieces, nephews and great-grandchildren.

Jean Bennett and three other members of FloydÕ s immediate family were at the ceremony, as well as over a hundred members of the public who were present to honor the occasion on what would have been FloydÕ s 108th birthday. Supervisor Lawrence Bennett gave the Ò Birthday Ovation.Ó

Glory days are over

Regretfully, we must now fast forward to June 7, 2015. This was when the picture of this great hero, a legendary man called by some, “Monarch of the Air,” ceases to retain its beauty and the sunshine of Floyd BennettÕ s spectacular life goes behind a black cloud.

Former County Supervisor William Mason, of Queensbury, said at a recent meeting that Warren CountyÕ s Floyd D. Bennett Airport is currently running at a monetary loss and he feels what is to be done to rectify the problem is to remove Floyd BennettÕ s name and Ò renamingÓ the title. I am at a complete loss of words as to what to say concerning such hogwash and outrageous nonsense and I do not trust my self to comment any further. Please let your opinions become heard, pro or con, about this important matter.

Green peppers and the summer solstice

I

tÕ s summer. Some of us pay attention to the solstice. Others don’t. I didn’t stare at the western sky and my watch to see if it really was the longest day of the year. For me, it was just another date on the calendar. I’ve seen many of them in my long life and most have been just fine.

Some of us are not happy unless we have something to gripe about and the weather is almost always in the top three on the list. Our North Country spring weather was variable, interesting

by Gordie Little and probably not record-setting. It was what it was.

The ground warmed enough for Kaye to put some beautiful flowers in the ground and I got dirt under my fingernails while planting vegetable plants and seeds.

To say they are all thriving would not be quite accurate. Most are still upright, though, and leaves chewed off by our lovely, little, brown bunny are beginning to be replaced by new ones. My original cucumber plants apparently grew downward rather than upward, so I planted others and they are fine. Most of the bean plants are thriving and a few are showing signs of blossoms. ThatÕ s a good thing.

When Beatrice the bunny nibbled the leaves off about three tomato plants, I was about to give up the ghost; but generous rain and a few warm afternoons worked wonders and they all appear to be bouncing back. Well, perhaps bouncing isnÕ t the right word. Struggling would be more like it. Suffice to say, they wonÕ t be ready for the metal cages for some time. Fresh garden tomatoes are our favorites, so I must guard and nurture them until harvest.

Kaye found half an envelope of last year Õ s green bean seeds and we put them underground, hoping for the best. Well, the best was that just two of them popped up and weÕ re thinking of a higher fence to keep Beatrice (we just named her this morning) away.

What can you say about green peppers? The world would be sadder without them and our plants are doing well, thank you.

I rarely take my coffee out to the back porch at 5 a.m. each day unless the thermometer reads more than 50 degrees. My Facebook friends expect my daily posting of the current warmth and wind and sky conditions. On the day I wrote this, it was over 62 with no wind. Ideal conditions for morning contemplation. I did notice another crop that is doing much better than I expected or wanted. That involves green things popping up along the river bank. The copious sky water has given the shrubs and bushes and saplings a huge growth spurt sending them above the fence and obstructing our view.

I see a trimming session in my near future, but Kaye is trembling at the thought. There is something about an old, fat man straddling the rocks while balancing a hedge trimmer and a long power cord that conjures up a nasty scene.

Yes, I have tumbled over the bank a couple times and have cracked a few ribs. I have bent a few eyeglass frames and have moaned and groaned while clawing my way up to safety.

Can you blame her? Being a sometimes bumbling southpaw with an impressive resume full of such near disasters, I guess I have a negative history of river bank rambling. The best way to handle the situation is to grab my long extension pole with a cutter and a long rope and tackle that green mass from the safe side of the fence. Of course that leaves the possibility of getting my two left feet tangled in the rope.

Whatever happens, your chances of seeing video highlights of these shenanigans, are nil.

For such tomfoolery, no cameras are allowed.

But, if you happen to drive by and hear loud words that are unseemly from the area behind our Morrisonville home, and a sigh from the sprightly little lady watching it all happenÑ you’ll know I’m just trying to live up to my reputation.

Happy summer, everyone.

Juicin Jar is ‘Rookie of the Year’

ryan@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — It’s no secret that a food revolution is underway in America, with people around the country becoming more conscious of their consumption habits and the origins of their food by the day.

In a time in which maintaining a healthy and responsible diet is gaining considerable traction, two local business owners have been honored by the Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce (ARCC) for opening and operating an organic smoothie bar and restaurant with locations in Lake George and Glens Falls.

Dan Hanchett and Cristina Laubenheimer, co-owners of JuicinÕ Jar, were awarded the ARCC’s “Rookie of the Year” award at a June 16 awards ceremony at the Highland Country Club, attended by an unprecedented 200 area residents and business owners.

Every year the ARCC hosts its business awards ceremony, with “Rookie of the Year” being one of several categories. In order to be nominated, a business must be open for no more than three years.

Once the nominations are in, a council of 14 members interview the business-owners before gathering to decide on the yearÕ s winners.

According to Jennifer Howe, executive administrator of the ARCC, what set JuicinÕ Jar apart from the record-breaking number of businesses competing for this yearÕ s award is its ownersÕ ability to open two locations within a single year. Ò ThatÕ s what really pushed them ahead Ñ a young couple who took a lot of risk and are doing great things for the community,Ó Howe said.

The couple, who are now entering their second season at their Lake George location in the Village Mall on Canada Street, opened a second, larger location on South Street in Glens Falls in

late February.

The Glens Falls JuicinÕ Jar is located in the building which last served as Dream Street Tavern. Dream Street was closed in 2010 after its owners became the target of the cityÕ s nuisance law.

Once the couple acquired the building, they set to work, re-purposing scraps left behind by the previous owners and transforming a location that had become infamous for late-night brawls, drug-deals and gang activity into a vibrant hub for local food, local art and, eventually, local entertainment on the stage left behind by the previous owners.

The couple were modest about their recent accolade, for which they beat out nine other nominees.

Ò At the ceremony we kept telling ourselves, Ô WeÕ re just happy to be here; weÕ re just happy to be nominated,Õ Ó Hanchett said.

“It was just so overwhelming,” Laubenheimer added.

The pair have been members of the ARCC since March, and both agree the organization has been a significant ally for their business. Ò They truly recognize us,Ó Hanchett said of the ARCC. Ò They truly accept that this is not just for us Ñ itÕ s for the community.Ó Hanchett studies the Brazilian art of Jiu Jitsu, and over the course of his training he has made a number significant lifestyle changes, beginning with his diet. While he learned about the benefits of eating healthy, Laubenheimer was studying resort and hotel management at Paul

SmithÕ s College.

According the couple, this was the perfect recipe for an award-winning local business.

“He was working two jobs, and I was about to get another bartending job. We were preparing to be working all the time and never see each other, and one day he came in and said Ô letÕ s open a juice bar,Õ Ó Laubenheimer said.

Soon enough, JuicinÕ Jar was born, thriving in the seasonal-tourism-based economy of Lake George Village. While they have met with considerable success at their Lake George location, the couple say their interactions with their customers are more intimate and relaxed in Glens Falls.

“In Lake George, costumers are on vacation Ñ they just want to get their smoothie and go, and we understand that,Ó Laubenheimer said. Ò But in Glens Falls, itÕ s local. They are depending on you to give them something good and healthy to get them through their work week.Ó In addition to the smoothies that made Juicin’ Jar a local favorite, a number of Ò light fareÓ food items have been added to the menu at the Glens Falls location, from salads, to wraps to Belgian waffles.

The couple purchase their ingredients from local farms and farmersÕ markets to ensure their costumers get the freshest fruits and vegetables they can provide.

As the pair continue to grow their menu and their brand, they continue to spread the word about the benefits of eating healthy, as well as eating local.

“That’s why we’re here,” Hanchett said. “It’s healthy food, but at the end of the day, itÕ s clean food. It’s your home kitchen in a restaurant.”

DINING

Dressed to celebrate the freewheeling late-1960s, Scarlett Maltbie discovers a new friend at Adirondack Woof Stock 2015, a festival of “peace, paws and music” held last weekend in Chestertown.

Woofstock

Continued from page 1 Mead said her own six-year-old chocolate Labrador Sadie loved the lure chasing. Ò She ran the course once, and from then on, she was straining at her leash when weÕ d walk by it, because she wanted to run the course again and again,Ó she said.

Mead added that the proprietors of the Doggie Fun Zone allowed dogs run several times through the course for one single fee.

“So many dogs got great exercise,” she said. “I saw a lot of tails wagging at the festival.Ó Noted artist Cate Mandigo, famous for her American primitive folk art, was also impressed. She was exhibiting and selling her paintings at Adirondack Woof Stock. Ò Dogs had so much fun, it was like people taking their children to Disneyland,Ó she said. Ò The event was so joyful Ñ dogs were so excited to run through the obstacle course, catch Frisbees or dive into the pool.Ó Mandigo said that the festival had good attendance through the weekend, but it wasnÕ t overcrowded Ñ so people didnÕ t have to wait in long lines to enjoy the attractions.

“There was no aggressive behavior either — no dogfights,” she said. Ò The dogs were out there just to have fun. Ò There were plenty of people Ñ from everywhere around the Northeast,Ó she continued, noting she had enjoyed socializing with vendors as well as festival-goers.

Saturday eveningÕ s concert of 1960s music Ñ which featured bands playing music from Woodstock 1969, was impressive, Mandigo continued. Ò The concert had incredibly professional renditions of songs played at Woodstock,” she said. “It was amazing — It was great to hear the songs from that era, and see the respect that people have for the artists of that time.Ó Mead offered similar comments.

“The concert was phenomenal,” he said. “If you closed your eyes, you felt you were back at Woodstock.Ó Mead added that people enjoyed the food offered for sale at nearly a dozen booths, prepared by either local restaurants or outside vendors. Ò There was a lot of good food available,Ó she said, admitting she sampled food from every booth.

The festival was billed as Ò A Weekend of Peace, Paws, and Music,” referring to the canine activities combined with the enjoyment of 1960s freewheeling culture and music. The festival featured bands playing through the two days on an outdoor stage as well as the Saturday concert.

Mead added that many people attended on Saturday to check out the activities Ñ as it was a brand new concept in the region Ñ then returned Sunday with their dogs to join the fun.

She said that because it was so well attended, the members of the sponsoring organization Ñ the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance Ñ are planning to repeat the event year after year on Fathers Day weekend. In 2016, the fest will be held Saturday June 18 and Sunday June 19.

“I see this as a festival that becomes one of the bigger, more popular events in Warren County,” Mead said, noting that 20 volunteers worked hard to make Woof Stock 2015 a success. Ò Everything went off without a hitch.Ó The festival included canine adoption opportunities and a Ò blessing of the dogsÓ event. Also featured were a the late addition of a canine reiki practitioner and a person explaining the benefits of microchip implants which permanently identify one’s pet.

One attraction, however, dropped out of the lineup. A policedog demonstration was cancelled Ñ because the dogs were put to work in the ongoing search for escaped convicts Richard Matt and David Sweat, who continue to be on the run after about three weeks after breaking out of the state prison in Dannemora.

Mead said that one main reason for the enthusiasm among event organizers is the positive feedback from festival attendees as well as vendors. Ò WeÕ ve heard nothing but compliments,Ó she said.

Warren County leaders discuss repealing fireworks sale legislation

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — A home fire in the region caused by improper disposal of fireworks has prompted discussion among Warren County leaders about whether they should repeal the law they recently approved allowing the sale of ground-based fireworks in the county.

A June 15 fire in Kingsbury caused heavy damage to a home after a person disposed of fireworks in a trash can in his garage, fire officials said. In battling the blaze, one firefighter was injured and treated at an area hospital.

Only hours before the fire, the low-level fireworks were bought in Warren County, which in April approved a law that allowed fireworks — like sparklers, fountains and poppers Ñ to be sold in the county for the first time in many decades. County Fire Coordinator Brian LaFlure, as well as other area fire officials.

This issue of fireworks safety was raised at the June 19 Warren County Board of Supervisors meeting by Queensbury Supervisor Rachel Seeber, who was concerned that safety information was not being made available to people purchasing fireworks.

Chamber announces basket raffles

The new local law allows the sale of low-level fireworks during specific time periods: from June 1 to July 5 and between Dec. 26 and Jan. 2.

The supervisors passed the law in April less than an hour after hearing from a representative of a fireworks distribution company Melissa Goduti of TNT Fireworks — who claimed fireworks were “as safe as a common household matchÓ Ñ and pledged to provide fireworks safety information for people who purchased her companyÕ s products.

Seeber said she was concerned that safety information was not being handed out to those purchasing fireworks, which are now for sale in supermarkets, large retail outlets and even convenience stores. She said she was also concerned that TNT had not made the information as Goduti had pledged to county leaders.

Seeber called for the supervisors to either repeal the fireworks sale law they passed two months ago, or at least amend it to require that all people buying fireworks be handed a leaflet outlining safe handling.

Seeber’s calls to Goduti and other officials at TNT inquiring about the lack of safety information had not been returned as of Friday, but by Monday, she heard that a TNT representative

SCHROON Ñ The Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring an Adirondack Baskets Raffle in conjunction with the Schroon Lake 4th of July Celebration, to be held Saturday, July 4.

People can purchase the tickets and place their tickets in a container by the basket they would like to win. The drawings will be at 8 p.m. People do not have to be present to win. The Chamber is looking for people who would like to volunteer their time for ticket sales and donate a basket for the raffle.

All proceeds will be used by the Chamber of Commerce to enhance events, create new events and the building maintenance fund. The Chamber of Commerce can be contacted at 532-7675 for more information.

had called county Administrator Paul Dusek and promised o make good on their pledge. Ò This shouldnÕ t be about pulling the wool over people’s eyes,” she said. “I hope they do follow through and make the safety information available as they now say they will.Ó Seeber said she has discovered that some states require fireworks purchasers to sign a statement, before any sale is completed, that theyÕ ve read the safety information. Ò We need to take a hard look at this issue,Ó she said, suggesting a repeal or amendment of the new law.

Lobbying for the law in April, Goduti had told the supervisors that allowing fireworks sales would not compromise public safety Ñ it would instead decrease incidents of fireworksrelated injuries. She also warned them that the county would lose out on sales tax revenue if they didnÕ t pass the law, and that legalizing minor fireworks would yield a “tremendous economic impactÓ for the county government.

LaFlure, however, had warned that 9,600 people in the U.S. each year are treated in emergency medical centers due to fireworks injuries.

He said that fire safety officials across the state were deeply concerned about the consequences

TSA to Tout Local Businesses

THURMAN — Thurman Station Association (TSA) wants to promote the town and business, and will have many opportunities throughout the summer and fall to do so by displaying and distributing brochures, rack cards, post cards and sometimes business cards. TSA urges those local businesses to deposit up to 50 printed publicity pieces in the brochure basket in the town hall lobby, which is open 24 hours a day. The publicity committee expects to have displays at all summer concerts, at the July and August North End Local Saturday Showcases, in town hall and at Thurman Fall Farm Tour. Rack cards and brochures are the easiest to display and are most readily noticed, but business cards banded together may be left. If you need information about how and where to get material printed, TSA may be able to advise. Also, a few Showcase opportunities remain for those wishing to promote their business or organization face to face.

of making the fireworks legal.

A recent change in state law allowed local counties to determine whether or not to host the sales.

In addition to discussing the issue, supervisors reported that they were also concerned over itinerant retailers selling fireworks locally.

Warrensburg Supervisor Kevin Geraghty, chairman of the county Board of Supervisors, said the issue of itinerant vendors selling fireworks in public spaces prompted complaints in his town.

“In our community, we’ve been getting calls that these vendors have been setting up shop in tents,Ó he said.

County attorney Martin Auffredou told the supervisors that itinerant sales of any wares, including fireworks, was under the jurisdiction of local zoning laws, and not the county.

Pledging that the fireworks sale issue would be given new scrutiny by county leaders, Geraghty referred the topic to the countyÕ s Legislative & Rules Committee for discussion in the coming weeks. Ò We do need to review this local law,Ó he said. Ò Earlier, we may not have heard the whole story.Ó

Mountain Lake announces Hays as Basic Life Support Provider WARRENSBURG — Mountain Lakes Regional Council announced Warrensburg EMS Member Lydia Hayes was selected as the Basic Life Support Provider of the year, an annual honor bestowed by the Regional EMS Council in the five county region.

Lydia engineered and coordinated a pre-prom mock motor vehicle accident (MVA) that took place at the Warrensburg High School in May 2015. This event was a major effort to demonstrate the dangers of drinking and driving to high school students. She enlisted and coordinated the help of Warrensburg Emergency Medical Services, Warrensburg Fire Department, Johnsburg EMS, Life Net Helicopter Service, the Warren County SheriffÕ s Department, and the Alexander Funeral Home.

Steve Emerson, Operations Manager of Warrensburg EMS stated, “From the day Lydia joined Warrensburg EMS, she showed exceptional interest in Emergency Medicine and strived to learn as much as she could. She has become an integral part of the WEMS Team, regularly volunteering in excess of 24 hours a week, and never turning down the opportunity to ride. Additionally, Lydia is dedicated to giving exceptional patient care. She has received numerous compliments from her patients and earned the respect of her peers. We have been so impressed with her performance that we appointed her as an officer of the squad.”

Lydia will attend the Hudson Valley Community College Paramedic program starting in Fall 2015, and continue to volunteer for her home squad.

Lydia is the second Warrensburg EMS provider to receive recent regional recognition. In 2014, Kathleen Emerson, BSN, RN, and volunteer EMT, was awarded honors as Registered Professional Nurse of Excellence. Warrensburg EMS President Pam Fischer suggested, “We strive for excellence, and we never stop learning. We always need volunteers like Lydia and Kathleen.Ó Warrensburg EMS provides emergency medical services to the towns of Thurman and Warrensburg and regularly assists adjoining communities. The Regional Council supervises, co-ordinates, and supports central aspects of Emergency Medical Services in Warren, Washington, Essex, Clinton and Franklin Counties. The region is home to 300,000 residents in over 3000 square miles.

Two Luzerne men were charged with four felonies and four misdemeanors following an alleged hate crime committed against two men holding hands as they walked down a Luzurne street. Left to right: Scott D. Bills and Bradley S. Moulton.

Hate crime

Continued from page 1 time to be a BB gun, which would appear to be a semiautomatic pistol.

The occupants were determined to be 19-year-old Scott D. Bills of 74 StewartÕ s Bridge Road in Hadley, 21-year-old Bradley S. Moulton of 15 Sylvan Road in Lake Luzerne, and an uninvolved juvenile.

Following the completion of the investigation, Bills and Moulton were each charged with four felony counts of menacing in the second degree as a hate crime and four misdemeanor counts of aggravated harassment in the second degree.

They were arraigned in Lake Luzerne Town Court and released on recognizance to return on Wednesday, June 24, at 11 a.m.

A no-contact protection order was issued on behalf of both victims.

This case was investigated by Patrol Officer Jeremy Coon and Investigator Russ Lail.
