Grads urged to help and inspire

By Ryan Edwards ryan@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ Warrensburg Jr./Sr. High School said goodbye to its Class of 2015 on Friday, June 26, at their annual commencement ceremony held in the schoolÕ s gymnasium.

Faculty, friends, family and peers poured into the gym as music teacher James Corriveau lead the mastersingers in a selection of pre-graduation music, followed by the Jr./Sr. High ChorusÕ renditions of Ò Pomp and CircumstanceÓ and the national anthem to accompany the processional.

Guests were welcomed to the commencement by graduating senior and high honors student Michaela Nissen, who introduced the screening of the class video.

Through the video, the audience watched the senior class grow from infants to toddlers, to teenagers, to graduates in a series of photos collected and put to music by Brian Engle.

Lk. George graduates urged to help and inspire thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Basking in the admiration of parents, friends and teachers at commencement exercises held June 27, soon-to-be-graduates of Lake George High School were urged to pursue their dreams, make the world a better place, and help others along the way.

Following a long-standing tradition, the honor students of the senior class at Lake George High School each presented short speeches on a theme the class chose Ñ this yearÕ s was Ò Moving Forward While Looking Back.”

Senior Alexandra Meyer recalled the classÕ s early years, and how the students have all evolved. After thanking teachers and parents for their support and encouragement, she concluded with a dose of advice. Ò Be that person your eight-yearold self would be proud of,Ó she said. Ò Live to your full potential and donÕ t ever let someone pull you down.Ó Cora Connelly advised her

classmates to remember the Ò heartbreaks, headaches and cheers” that accompanied the various challenges and achievements along the way. Ò Hold on to these memories forever,Ó she said, noting the two state championships in boys basketball, the renowned Blue Zoo student cheering section, and the talent demonstrated through fellow studentsÕ pursuits in art and music.

Mike Valente echoed the point. Ò Always savor the experiences, savor this moment right now, and the ones to follow,Ó he said.

Jed Moody advised his classmates to savor the present. Ò When we live in the moment, and as long as we live to make memories, we will, in a sense, live forever Ñ in the memories of those who know us.”

Duncan Mularz urged his classmates to be a positive influence in other’s lives, and leave a legacy of making the world a better place. Ò There is not a single person here who will leave Lake George and not

School chief: Bolton graduates are ‘a tough act to follow’

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com BOLTON LANDING — In a second-floor classroom at Bolton High School, senior class advisor Deborah Gaddy circulated among 22 seniors as they got ready for their graduation ceremony June 22. She helped them affix their mortarboard hats so theyÕ d stay on, straightened their graduation gowns, and reminded the students not to chew gum during the proceedings.

Michael Graney, Bolton CentralÕ s new Superintendent of Schools, smiled as he watched the students socialize. Ò This is a well-rounded group Ñ they were strong in academics, athletics and extracurricular activities,Ó he said. Ò More than that, theyÕ re a group of leaders Ñ they set the tone for the whole building Ñ theyÕ ve been great role models. TheyÕ ll be missed Ñ the Class of 2015 is a tough act to follow.Ó While the students were making last-minute preparations, a crowd filling the school auditorium watched a video tribute to the class — a rollicking, spontaneous music video with the camera following class president Olivia Seamans and friends dancing through the high school hallways, dropping into one classroom after another, inspiring other students to abandon their schoolwork and join the freewheeling dance through the building to the beat of Taylor Swift’s song “Shake It Off.” The video concluded with candid, personal statements from each student, a number of them humorous remarks.

Social Studies Teacher Paul Weick, who directs the school drama productions, watched the video, and noted how the seniors were renowned not only for their joyful attitude and sense of humor, but their hard work, particularly on their recent “Addams FamilyÓ musical comedy as well as athletics and studies.

“They’ve been so dedicated, working so hard, putting their heart into their work,” he said. “But they also like to joke around and have fun.Ó

This light-hearted attitude was reflected in a presentation by class Valedictorian Sarah Calzada and Salutatorian Kaitin Urtz.

Naming their classmates one by one, they revealed an anecdote or characteristic of each, whether it was the poise one of them exhibited when being slapped in the face with a slice of pizza, or who could get away with sleeping through classes.

On a more serious note, Urtz advised the seniors to heed a quote from Martin Luther King Jr.: Ò The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy,Ó she said, adding her own

Cocozza revealed he had a twin brother Daniel, claiming Daniel had substituted for him in his administrative role during Senior Sick Day. “You all called in sick — so I stayed home too. My twin brother stepped in as principal, and nobody knew,” he said.

Cocozza also offered advice to the seniors.

“Hunger for excellence. Never take anything or anyone for granted,Ó he said. Ò You never know what life will throw at you.”

Cocozza also told them to heed the homilies theyÕ d heard throughout their lives Ñ never take the easy way out, have faith in yourself, be

thoughts. Ò Remember to remain hopeful even in times of despair. Remember to enjoy every moment, because we only get one shot at life — so let’s make the most of it.”

Calzada thanked friends, family members and teachers for their ongoing support for the Class of 2015.

“We are lucky to have people in our lives that have helped and watch us grow into young adults, ready to move on into the next chapter of our stories,Ó she said.

Calzada also expressed appreciation to her classmates for the impact they had on her life Ñ as she encouraged them to retain their individuality. Ò Remember, the one thing you have that nobody else has, is You Ñ your voice, your mind, your vision, and your story,Ó she said. Ò So write and draw; build and create; study hard but play harder; and live only as you can.Ó The ceremonies were accompanied by the live classical music of the Northland Chamber Ensemble. Diplomas and awards were presented by Graney, along with Bolton school board president Kathleen Pfau and school principal Michele French. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Class of 2015 President Olivia Seamans, an All-State athlete who led the Bolton Girls Soccer team into the state championship Final Four.

Advising the graduating seniors to tackle any challenge they may face in the future, Graney quoted Michael Jordan, considered one of the greatest athletes of all time. Ò In my career IÕ ve missed 9,000 shots, lost 300 games, and 26 times I was entrusted to take the game-winning shot and missed.

IÕ ve failed over and over in my life Ñ yet thatÕ s exactly why I succeed. Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, but others make it happen.”

Graney urged the students to follow JordanÕ s example. Ò Set your sights on great things, never give up, and above all else, be the best you can be,Ó he said. Ò Whatever you choose to pursue in life, make it happen!”

positive with everyone, and never make decisions shooting from the hip.

Lake George Superintendent Patrick Dee urged the students to assess their own character, build on their strengths, and work to resolve weaknesses, while remaining an independent thinker.

“Our world today presents many difficult challenges. Look upon them as opportunities to improve the quality of life for all,Ó he said. Ò Use your talents energy and knowledge to make the world a better place.Ó Dee also urged the seniors to follow their dreams while valuing friendships. Ò Find your passions, and pour your soul into achieving them Ñ Success comes to those who

never quit,Ó he said. Ò Above all, respect yourself and be honest with yourself.Ó He also advised them to pursue a path of integrity. Ò Do your best in every situation, because everything you do will make a difference to someone,” he said. “Take it upon yourself to inspire others and help them along their way.Ó Dee paused and gazed at the seniors, soon to receive their diplomas. Ò Expect from yourself the extraordinary but understand that the path to success will always be greater than the accomplishment itself,Ó he concluded.

Disney, a Jeep, NASCAR and family — Bruce’s bucket list

By Ryan Edwards

a ride-along with a NASCAR driver, which is something he has wanted to do all his life.

“He is a typical guy,” Keri said. “He has always tinkered with cars, rebuilt older Cameros and loves to go fast.Ó As of now, this is the extent Bruce’s bucket list, but more items may potentially be added in the coming months.

In the meantime, Bruce continues to battle his symptoms and the side-effects of his daily treatments.

“Struggle is something he is used to,” Keri said. “He is a fighter.Ó

ryan@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY Ñ What would you hope to accomplish if you knew you had only one year to live?

Visit a foreign city? Reach the summit of Mount Everest? Or simply spend what time you have with your loved ones?

For most of us, this is a rhetorical question which elicits a menagerie of often silly responses, but for Bruce Sherman, a former Thurman resident and Warrensburg Central graduate now living in Queensbury, it is an unfortunate reality.

After a recent discovery of two tumors in his brain, Bruce was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer called multifocal glioblastoma, which had reached the terminal grade four by the time it was discovered.

According to his doctors, BruceÕ s life expectancy is 12 to 15 months, provided his treatments are effective.

Bruce is a husband to Keri Randall-Sherman, step-father to a 13-year-old daughter, and father to a four-year-old son with special needs.

He is 36 years old.

In the wake of this devastating news, Bruce has constructed a ‘bucket list’ of things he hopes to achieve in the time he has left with his loved ones.

Bruce’s battle

Bruce was officially diagnosed soon after a visit to the Warrensburg Health Center on Tuesday, May 12, where he complained of irritability and aggravation.

Having lived with Tourette Syndrome all his life, he and Keri feared for what these symptoms might mean in relation to that condition.

At that visit, Bruce was prescribed an antidepressant called Effexor and told to come back in a month for a checkup.

He began his medication, but two days later Bruce began to feel pain in his fingertips, at which time he returned to the Doctor’s office and requested an MRI. On Wednesday, May 18, Bruce was given an MRI, and the following day received a call from his doctor instructing him to get to the office right away.

In the interim, Bruce lost the use of his left arm and began to feel the same pain in his toes that had originated in his fingers.

The results of the MRI showed two masses in BruceÕ s brain, one of which is inoperable.

The other was scheduled to be removed through neurosurgery on Wednesday, May 27.

Before his surgery, however, on Saturday, May 23, Bruce went into a full tonic-clonic seizure— formerly known as a grand mal.

Following his seizure, Bruce was brought from Glens Falls Hospital to Albany Medical Center, where he underwent a par-

How to help

Bruce Sherman has recently been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, and has resolved to complete his ‘bucket list’ in the time he has left.

Bruce’s wife Keri said this photo is special to the family because Bruce’s head is “what brought [them] all to this moment.”

tial craniotomy, after which a follow-up MRI revealed a portion of the tumor remaining along with the other which could not be removed.

He began daily chemotherapy and radiation therapy on Tuesday, June 22, in order to prolong his life.

“This is a big adjustment for us,” Keri said. “Everything in life stops for what weÕ re dealing with now Ñ Bruce is our priority.Ó

The bucket list

Bruce’s bucket list is centered mainly on his son and stepdaughter, whom Keri said are Ò at the center of his soul.Ó Among the items on Bruce’s list is a trip with his kids to Disney World, which the Sherman family had previously postponed in the hopes that their sonÕ s sensory issues would improve some with age.

“Him and the children have always talked about Disney, Disney, Disney,Ó Kerri said. Ò Now is the time because the time is running out. We just have to suck it up and go.”

Another item on BruceÕ s list is a plan to rebuild a Jeep with his step-daughter for her first vehicle — a four-door black Jeep Wrangler with bright pink accents and a hard/soft top. The two have been planning this project since she was seven years old.

Bruce also intends to go skydiving for this first time this year.

“I don’t know if it was that darn country song that says ‘live like you were dying’ or what,” Kerri said, “But now he wants to go skydiving.”

Kerri is in the process of making arrangements for Bruce to do

Due to his condition, Bruce is out of work indefinitely, and his family’s only income is Keri’s workers’ compensation — the result of a 2013 assault she endured from a patient in the emergency room at the Glens Falls Hospital where she worked as a nurse, which left her with a ruptured spine.

Kerri underwent spinal surgery as a result of her injuries, and is living with permanent damage today, which may lead to more surgery in the future.

In order to help Bruce achieve his goals and help alleviate the financial burden of his treatments, a number of fund-raisers have been scheduled, as well as a GoFundMe account and a Glens Falls National bank account into which anyone can deposit a donation under the name Ò Team BruceÓ at any GFN location.

The Team Bruce GoFundMe account can be found at the following address: www.gofundme.com/xzgj9hc A Team Bruce spaghetti dinner fund-raiser will be held at the Thurman Town Hall on Saturday, July 25 at 4 p.m.

The cost of admission is $10 per-person for a plate of spaghetti, garlic bread and a drink. Also at this event will be a silent auction, a bake sale and a 50/50 raffle to benefit Team Bruce.

The Ò Ride for BruceÓ fund-raiser will be held on Saturday, August 22, with registration beginning at 11 a.m.

The cost to ride is $10 for a single, $15 for a couple and $15 for a car.

The event will feature a poker run, horseshoes, volleyball, a 50/50 raffle, live music, a silent auction and photo shoots.

The ride begins at noon, departing from the Halftime Bar in South Glens Falls.

A Team Bruce reunion fund-raiser will be held at the BoarÕ s Nest in Fort Ann on Saturday, September 5, at 1 p.m.

The event will feature a $10 per-person barbecue, live music, basket raffles and a live auction, all to benefit Team Bruce.

Bruce’s progress, treatment updates, photos and benefit information can be found on the Team Bruce Facebook page: facebook.com/TeamBruce2015. Ò The main goal in all of this fund-raising is to show Bruce how much people care, and how much they love and support him,Ó Kerri said. “This is not just his fight — this is all of our fight.”

From the Front Lines of the Manhunt for Sweat and Matt

Our reporters detail what it was like to cover the history-making prison break

W

By Pete DeMola

ho were Richard Matt and David Sweat?

Since the pair broke out of Clinton Correctional last month and into the collective consciousness, I often found myself trying to look past their mugshots in an attempt to discern who they really were.

Their faces were everywhere: Matt’s dead-eyed look of abject menace and Sweat with glints of a special breed of detached crazy dancing behind a sociopathic stare.

Three weeks on the road covering the manhunt has put me in contact with a diverse cross section of the population Ñ Cops, journalists, government officials, the general public, the Twitterati — all of us, small pebbles orbiting around Matt and SweatÕ s outsized planet; their mugs, a force of preternatural gravity.

IÕ ve come to believe that the convicts who pulled off a once-in-a-lifetime getaway from one of the stateÕ s toughest prisons represented, and still do, different things to each of these groups; a blank slate onto which they projected their innermost wants, desires and criticisms.

For law enforcement officials, the pair seemed to embody the personification of every criminal mind, from two-bit skeezy scumbags to ingenious masterminds, with whom theyÕ ve ever had the misfortune of dealing. Each of the 23 days the manhunt remained underway was a stinging reminder of everything that theyÕ ve ever fought to stamp out while protecting us from the frontlines. But youÕ d never hear it directly from them: they remained professional and courteous to the end.

For correction officers, the pair appeared to represent the perils and pitfalls of an institutionalized system.

In the immediate aftermath, weÕ re already witnessing the fallout of what happens when good people make bad decisions. Matt and Sweat are the ultimate result when that symbiotic relationship that underpins all inmate-officer relationships in the prison system goes sideways. The duo represented the long hours spent away from their families, both in the manhunt and in their everyday lives, where guards spend their days walking a murky line in a culture none of us civilians can even pretend to understand. Their continued escape, a lingering slap in the face of equal parts shame, embarrassment and biting anger at a sprawling system that is far larger and more complex than just them.

Fortune favors the bold. For many reporters, especially those in the broadcast biz, Matt and Sweat dangled the glittering keys of upward mobility. With the hunt came meal tickets to better gigs — each possible scoop, exclusive or even slip of the tongue from a tightlipped official, the difference between laboring in relative obscurity or moving up through the ranks, perhaps even to a nightly news desk. These escaped killers represented progress, and in the end, cynicism and a deep desire to get on the Northway and floor it back to civilization.

And for the general public, well, they’re all over the map, like folks tend to be.

Some have used the duo as outlets onto which to focus their generalized locus of sputtering and often-incoherent rage Ñ at the state, law enforcement, the pressÉ whoever.

Others have used the inmates as a catalyst to unlock their deep wellsprings of humanity, using the opportunity to do some good in the world by giving back to their fellow man.

As for me, I’m still trying to figure all of it out.

Now that the manhunt has ended, the picture is coming back into focus: Matt is dead.

He leaves behind a lurid tabloid legacy of a failed jailhouse romance and grape gin.

His body remains unclaimed.

And Sweat is on the way back to the clink.

he Boston Marathon bombers. The Beltway sniper attacks. I’ve been gripped by manhunts before, but never quite like this one.

David Sweat and Richard Matt.

ItÕ s safe to say that IÕ ll never experience anything quite like the hunt for the two Dannemora escapees as long as I live. Not just as someone who grew up and still resides in northern New York, but as a media member who has seen first-hand how intense the search has been.

It was a challenge, being on the ground. The sense of duty to keep the public — my own neighbors — informed. The long hours, inclement weather, the wear and tear on vehicles and gear. And no, itÕ s not lost on me that any challenges I face paled in comparison to what law enforcement was up against.

Lastly, the constant balance of trying to get up and close without getting in the way. ItÕ s fair to assume that the scores of people covering the search, from local reporters to national cable news, didn’t make the investigators’ jobs any easier.

I kept that in mind throughout. Even after passing through the same checkpoint multiple times, troopers were friendly. I said while chit-chatting with law enforcement that all of us, whether toting notepads, cameras or TV equipment, must be pesky. And the response has always been a polite acknowledgement that sounds something like this: “It’s OK. We understand that we have our job and you have yours.Ó With that in mind, I was mindful along the perimeter, especially when it came to asking troopers where I could and couldnÕ t go.

On June 23, my colleague and I were pointed in the direction of Mountain View, the hamlet where DNA evidence — the first conclusive lead in the search — was obtained. As we turned around near a restaurant, a relatively quiet afternoon turned hectic at the drop of a dime.

Law enforcement vehicles, some marked with lights ablaze and others nondescript, barreled toward us. An officer looked at us and, with an apparent sense of urgency, gestured with a wave of his arm that we were to leave.

This type of situation wasn’t a first for either of us, but even so, itÕ s hard to quell the imagination: Is this it? Are we going to be right there when the capture goes down?

But common sense took over immediately. It was time to let them do their job and get the hell out of the way.

Driving west out of Mountain View, six police vehicles approached from the opposite direction, bumper to bumper and moving fast. State troopers, posted along the road every 25 yards with shotguns or automatic weapons in hand, continued to motion us away from the scene.

“Go, go, get out of here!” we heard one say.

More personnel, weapons drawn and pointed toward the dense forest, dotted the road to the left. Some crept toward the trees.

Law enforcement continued to barrel the opposite way as we put several miles between us and Mountain View. When eventually reached a checkpoint, all the while wondering what had happened behind us. The troopers manning this one were, once again, friendly and professional. Given what had just happened, the two had questions. Using a paper map and one on my phone, I traced the route that had taken us into, around, and back out of the hamlet.

“Have either of you been outside of the vehicle?”

“No, officer, we have not.”

And then we were asked to hold tight a little longer.

Apparently a sighting of two men running through the woods was called in. The initial response was quick; the following one would be thorough.

With over 2,000 leads called in throughout Ñ only a handful of which led to conclusive evidence Ñ one can only imagine how much work went into pursuing each as if it was the one that would break the search open.

We waited for higher-ups to arrive at the checkpoint.

Several SUVs came and went before one carrying two plainclothes officers arrived. Out stepped a tall, muscular man in a Guns NÕ Roses T-shirt, and a woman in jeans and a dark blue top.

The female officer pulled me aside and made two things clear. First, we werenÕ t in trouble. Second, it was essential that they know whether we had been out of the car, whether it was 50 feet or five.

I admired the professionalism of the encounter, especially given that less than an hour ago a call was made that may have put the escapees in the crosshairs. The closest either of us had been to out of the car was an arm in an open window, but communicating that was a challenge of its own.

“To be candid,” I told the officer, “even if I had to go to the bathroom and stood five feet off the road to do it, IÕ d tell you.Ó I said that because I did have to go during our drive through Mountain View, but refrained. I do bear some resemblance to Sweat, so I had been told, and had been extremely mindful of that when I was anywhere near the search.

After some time, the investigators gave us the green light to move on. With a mutual thanks — to us for our patience and them for their service — we got back in the car and continued west.

The search area was a strange, strange world.

Sights IÕ ve seen all my life can, at any moment, be interrupted by a wave of a hundred COs emerging from the woods. Agents in full tactical gear have crossed CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Letters to the Editor

Thank You goes out to bike donors To the Editor:

Where’s the refund?

To the Editor:

Every year Cornell Cooperative Extension of Warren County offers local schools a program on bicycle safety or as we call it “Bike Rodeo.”

This year in particular we were made aware that many youth in our community did not even have a bicycle, which limited their participation in our program. So, a few weeks ago we sent out a notice to our community that we were looking for donations of new or gently used bicycles. IÕ m glad to say that we live in a wonderful, giving community. Through this generous act of giving we were able to provide a few young people with the joy of having their own bike. Thank you to those who donated the bicycles what a pleasure it is to know a few kids will have a great summer riding their new bikes.

It came to my attention a few days ago, that senior citizens who live alone are entitled to a big discount on their water bill. Now I am six years past the senior citizen date and had no idea about this. I spoke to a couple of town employees and they said yes that this is the policy but when I asked about a refund, they said there are no pay backs.

How many other people are not aware of this? I doubt that I am the only one. Why canÕ t the town inform you of this when you sign up for the star program-which you have to do every year? I was also told, they are two different departments. Well you can shout from one office to another.

It makes no sense to me. How many other programs are there that I am entitled to? I live on SS and can use any help I can get. Again, I am sure I am not alone in this.

I hope you post this so others can see it.

yards I’d seen children play in. ATVs, canines and helicopters would at any moment descend on a swatch of land, all the while a man mowed his lawn across the street or a family played in the yard.

I became both mystified by and numb to such scenes.

We were again in the Malone area June 26, headed south along Route 30 when another wave of law enforcement vehicles Ñ the biggest we had seen yet — roared past. We soon hit a roadblock, populated by a handful of residents who were told they couldnÕ t go home. The relative quiet wasnÕ t to last. More locals arrived, some turning around while others parked and wandered about, swapping tales of life amidst the manhunt.

Television crews, photographers and reporters soon made up half the

crowd as official vehicles continued to pour past, accelerating hard once past the roadblock. This felt different. The sense of urgency was highest we had encountered yet.

Finally, word trickled in — Matt was dead, shot by a Border Patrol agent near Lake Titus. Rumors swirled that Sweat, too, went down, though it would be two more days until that was actually the case.

Matt had been holed up, armed, in a camper about 50 feet from the road. How many times had I driven past? Had he watched my car roll by, 20 gauge in hand? I shiver at the thought.

Now, we can collectively sigh in relief. Relief that the hunt has come to an end. Relief that no civilian or member of law enforcement was hurt and that two convicted murders no long lurk free in the North Country.

Relief that our neck of the woods can go back to its quiet, peaceful ways.

It’s over

A

headline read, “It’s Over.” Like other traumatic events, most of us will remember what we were doing when the second of two Clinton Correctional Facility escapees was shot. This one lived.

I was only indirectly involved by using Facebook as a platform for information. IÕ m not sure how that came about, but it wasnÕ t long after the escape that I became obsessed with the

by Gordie Little story. I was doing it for no reward except my own satisfaction and I wanted to fulfill a need.

It soon drew me in like a vortex. Every time I shut off the computer, there were comments on Facebook like, “Where is Gordie?” I felt like Waldo and concluded I was letting friends down by my absence.

As a news junkie, I monitored all media coverage. Soon, people began supplying me with insider information. One day, I mentioned an “unconfirmed source” indicating that one of the inmates had been captured. It turned to be false and I took a boat load of grief. I was deeply hurt and decided to back off completely.

Many insisted that I jump back into the fray and I ultimately did so with trepidation. People wanted me to post what I learned and I attempted to do so in a responsible way. It paid off. We learned and reported salient facts as they unfolded.

A collective sigh of relief was felt when new friends and old learned that both escapees were no longer on the run. People unloaded their fire arms and returned to a semblance of normalcy. Pages of responses from former and present residents began to pour in. Their sentiments were warm, thankful and encouraging.

Kaye said, “Well, that kind of makes up for long stretches of time I couldn’t talk to you because you were so engrossed in that computer screen.Ó I was like a hound on the scent. I suppose it’s akin to a gambler who believes this is the day he hits the jackpot. I felt every day that the search would end and paid close attention to everything. I added my prayers to others. My silent supplication was worded thus: Ò Dear God, if it is your will, lead these long-suffering searchers to a situation where the second escapee can be captured.Ó We walked into the door after attending the wake for Kaye’s lifelong friend, Frannie Latinville, and got the news. A State Police Sgt. From the Malone station, was in the right place at the right time. Working alone, he spotted the escapee walking along the road. He tried to question the man who bolted toward the woods.

To show you how fortuitous the situation was, the Sergeant is a firearms instructor and, while chasing the man on foot, got off two very accurate shots that brought the fleeing man down.

I am grateful for the chance to play a small part in telling this story even as it was being written. My sincere thanks to media from here and afar for working many long hours covering the escape story. I also salute the heroes from many agencies who spent countless tiring hours in awful conditions to bring the search to a successful conclusion. And I thank my North Country friends who donated a great deal to make sure those wonderful searchers had their needs taken care of in the field. We put up blue ribbons to honor our heroes.

WeÕ re learning more about how such an escape could happen. Others are working toward preventing it from ever happening again.

Having had many family members and close friends involved in corrections, I am well aware of the professionalism they show day in and day out while working in a very dangerous environment. I thank all of them for their service.

When the story is finally written, it might have a chapter that some of us find less than delightful. The chips will fall where they may, but I am still grateful for their service and am delighted to have the Clinton Correctional Facility here with its rich history. Thanks again for your support during a most difficult time.

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden Queen Village Memories

Note - When I am perusing old 50 or 100 years ago Warrensburgh newspapers, I often look for references to houses being built, cellar holes being dug and indoor plumbing being put in for the first time. I always sincerely hope that the dwelling referred to still exists and the present owner reads this column and is pleased to discover just what year their home was erected and who built it.

I hit the jackpot in the May 30, 2015 issue when I wrote that Garry Hall was building the foundation for a dwelling house in Warrensburgh. Warren County Judge John Hall told me that this house, on 10 James Street, off Library Avenue, was the home where his father, the late, great John S. Hall, Sr., and his Uncle Mac Hall grew up. His grandmother, Julia (Ò JewelÓ ) Hall owned it until she died at age 99. Then John, a native of Warrensburg, and his wife, Ann bought the house from her estate and lived there for ten years where they raised their daughters, Emily and Billie Hall. Ann taught school down the street at Warrensburg Central School where JohnÕ s mother had taught for 20 years before her.

I later read that Walter Bartos, who has moved to Warrensburg in 1915 from Stony Creek was also building a new house on James Street at that time. Several other lots had been sold in that locality to people who contemplated building in the not distant future.

Boy loses finger

Charles Pratt, the fourteen year old son of Lawrence Pratt, Horicon Avenue, Warrensburgh, has the first finger of his left hand blown off Tuesday, noon, July 6, 1915, when a dynamite cap, which he had found and mistaken for a firecracker, exploded in his hand. The lad was immediately taken to the Glens Falls Hospital where it was found necessary to amputate what had been left of the finger.

The boy had picked up the explosive in front of the Grand Army House (now George Henry’s Tavern location), taking it home with him. The cap, and fuse for ignition, probably led young Pratt to believe he had found a Fourth of July firecracker and while in the yard before his house, he lit it. He held the cap in his left hand and before he had time to throw it from him, the dynamite exploded, tearing away part of his first finger and badly bruising the rest of his hand.

The injured boy is doing as well as can be expected, it being considered a stroke of luck that the explosive did not harm him more than it did.

Motorcyclist hits cold, hard ground

Maynard Baker and Miss Merrithew, of Warrensburgh, riding a Harley Davidson motorcycle, crashed into an Overland car, driven by Mrs. Charles F. Burhans, as the latter was turning her machine around near the old Toll-gate on the Chester Road, Thursday evening, June 24, 1915. Baker and his companion were hurled to the sand on the side of the road, the former being unconscious for several hours as a result of the fall. The girl received a scalp wound but escaped serious injury.

The occupants of the car, including Mrs. Burhans and son, Frederick, Miss Irish, of Warrensburgh, and Mrs. Mac R. Smith, of Lake George, escaped injury. Neither the automobilists nor the party aboard the motorcycle can explain just how the accident occurred. Mr. Baker is somewhat lame as a result of the encounter, though it is thought he will not suffer lasting injury. His machine was badly wrecked. The Burhans car was not damaged to any extent.

(Note Ð The old Toll-gate was on the corner of route 9 and route 28 in North Warrensbureg. Maynard Baker was the uncle and name sake of former Warrensburgh Supervisor (1988-1997) Maynard Baker. Mrs. Burhans was driving a brand new 1916 Overland automobile that she had recently bought from the New Adirondack Garage and Mrs. James A. Emerson, not to be outdone, had bought one just exactly like it.)

Henry Ford strikes big

A count kept at the New Adirondack Garage, Sunday, July 4, 1915, of the automobiles that passed that auto hospital, resulted in some interesting figures. Between the hours of 12 and 9 a total of 584 cars passed by, averaging nearly seventy-three cars every hour. Valuing the average car at a thousand dollars, this means that $73,000 worth of automobiles passed through Warrensburgh every hour. About forty per cent of the cars were Fords as very few runabouts were on the road, the majority of the autos being of the five-passenger variety.

Alden Avenue improvements

Warrensburgh Supervisor Milton N. Eldridge and Justice of the Peace J.C. Brown have been looking over the ground on Alden Avenue, it being planned to lay a cement sidewalk on this street from its junction with River Street to the rail road crossing.

It is also planned to proceed with the laying of a sidewalk on Library Street, from where the old walk ends to the Woolen Mill (now 18 Milton Avenue). Work will be started in two weeks.

Lake George cornerstone

Brilliant ceremonies at the laying of the cornerstone and dedication of the beautiful new temple of the Lake George Lodge of Odd Fellows, which took place Thursday, June 24, 1915, proved by far to be the most impressive ceremony ever held in that village. Grand Master Thomas W. McKnight and Grand Marshall Edwin T. Ogle were there as special guests of honor.

The cement which holds the cornerstone was spread by Grand Master McKnight, both he and Grand Marshall Ogle siding in moving the stone into position.

In the cornerstone were placed documents containing the history and membership list of Lake George Lodge 912 and Amherst Rebekah Lodge 401, group pictures of the officers of each lodge, individual pictures of past noble grands, copies of the constitution and by laws, a copy of the Lake George Mirror newspaper and a 1915 coin. Following the ceremony a chicken dinner was served in the banquet hall.

The Odd Fellows temple will in the future be one of Lake

George’s show places. The lower floor is divided into a library and billiard room and a large hall where dances can be held and dinners served. A kitchen is attached in the rear. On the second floor is the lodge room with ceilings sixteen feet high.

Road trip planned

Dr. and Mrs. W.F. Wilkinson and son, Guy, will start Saturday morning, July 3, 1915 in their five-passenger Hupmobile, on an auto tour through the central part of New York state visiting their former home in that section. They will pick up some friends on the way and expect to be gone about a week.

Gala wedding

Miss Libbie Ginsburg, daughter if Isaac Ginsburg, of Glens Falls, formerly of Warrensburgh, was married Sunday, June 28, 1915 to David Chesler, of Ballston, with elaborate ceremonies in the Victoria Hotel at Saratoga Springs. Rabbi Lasky, of Troy, conducted the service assisted by Rabbi Kantor, of Glens Falls.

There were 200 guests in attendance. The wedding gifts included a certified check for $5,000 from the bride’s father and another for $1,000 from the groom’s father. The couple will take up residence in Glens Falls where Mr. Chesler will act as a manager of his father-in-lawÕ s Glen Street Bazaar.

Wedding bells

Miss Grace J. Culver, the beautiful and accomplished daughter of Hulbert Culver, of Chestertown, was married at noon, June 31, 1915, to Fred E. Duell. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Charles B. Alford at the brideÕ s home and was witnessed by a small party of friends and relatives.

In other news, Peter Fish and Miss Myrtle Brooks, two of WarrensburghÕ s popular young people, celebrated the Fourth of July by getting married at the Methodist parsonage attended by Miss Ethel Rooney and Miles Towne.

Home for the summer

Dr. Cyrus S. Merrill and his daughter, Miss Grace C. Merrill, of Albany, have opened their beautiful summer home in Warrensburgh, the Griffing homestead, and are comfortably settled there for the summer season. Dr. Merrill will make occasional trips to his office in the capitol city.

(Note - Dr. Merrill was an eye specialist who was married to Mary Griffing and they were the parents of Grace and Stephen Merrill. Grace, the last living member of the family to own this fabulous house, died in 1979. Today the former Merrill Ð Magee House is owned and is being restored with love by the family of Dr. Donna Flanagan.)

Sweet and sour notes

Prices are rising on about every commodity a poor man has to buy and the excuse that it is on account of the European War is being overworked.

A severe hail storm struck Igerna on Sunday, June 28, 1915.

The recent rains are, however, greatly aiding crops and grass. All crops are growing fast. If the showers continue, we shall have a goodly amount of hay. The meadows are looking fine and the grass is coming in with a heavy bottom in this locality. Emery Hewitt, of Johnsburgh, is having new potatoes from his garden.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Ingraham, of Athol, announce the engagement of their daughter, Grace Verda to Lawrence J. Whalen, of Brooklyn, N.Y. A daughter was born, Saturday morning, July 3, 1915, to Mrs. Robert Kenyon in Athol. Grocery man L.A. Mosher has purchased a five-passenger Maxwell touring car.

Mario’s Restaurant awarded; Paul and Nancy Nichols hailed

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Renowned as a landmark in Lake George Village since it was launched in 1954, Mario’s Restaurant has served as a favorite gathering place for both area residents and visitors to socialize as they share a hearty meal.

Recently, the restaurant was honored by local government leaders as the Village of Lake George’s first-ever “Business of the Year.Ó Beyond the restaurantÕ s longevity and its renowned entrees and customer service, the award was prompted by proprietors Paul and Nancy Nichols’ extensive volunteer work on behalf of the Lake George community and the couple’s involvement in charitable efforts.

This week, the duo shared their thoughts about their restaurant, their customers and their community service.

Founded 61 years ago by PaulÕ s grandmother, the business has hosted such celebrities as Lucille Ball, Helen Hunt and Roddy McDowell, baseball legend Stan Musial, as well as actress and singer Vanessa Williams.

Recipes of the restaurant’s signature entrees — Veal Saltimboca and Chicken Calabrese — have been featured in Gourmet and Bon Appetit magazines.

Customers have said it’s not just the savory food like Mario’s elaborate hot antipasto or savory Beef Braciole, but itÕ s how they are welcomed by Paul and Nancy Nichols and their staff.

This attitude is exemplified by “Table 31” where various groups of local people choose to be seated in their regular visits Ñ this particular spot in the restaurant has been memorialized with beverage Ò coziesÓ bearing a Table 31 logo, distributed to clientele.

Paul Nichols said he was proud that MarioÕ s was the only business in Lake George to remain owned by the same family for anywhere near 61 years.

Paul and Nancy took over the enterprise in 1976. Since the earliest years of their proprietorship, theyÕ ve been deeply involved in community service and charitable efforts.

It started out with Nancy’s volunteer work in leading scout groups and youth sports teams as well as serving on the youth commission and teaching church school.

Soon thereafter, she also became involved in the Lake George chapter of the Business and Professional Women, an extremely

Nancy and Paul Nichols take a break from work at their enterprise Mario’s Restaurant, which was recently honored as Lake George Village’s very first ‘Business of the Year.’ The Nicholses have been hailed for their many years of extensive work in their charitable efforts and community service — as well as for their proprietorship of Mario’s which has endured as a Lake George landmark for 61 years — under family ownership.

active group that conducted extensive charitable work in the 1980s.

Later, Nancy and other area residents branched out from BPW to concentrate on their charity work through Women in Need, incorporating it as a non-profit entity.

Nancy serves as the president of Women in Need, which helps women in the Warren, Washington, Saratoga, Essex and Albany counties Ñ providing money for food, clothing and shelter and fuel subsidies for those facing financial crises or burdensome

medical expenses.

In addition, Paul and Nancy Nichols have donated or conducted fund drives for such charities as North Country Ministry as well as area food pantries.

TheyÕ ve also hosted fundraisers at their restaurant for local residents whoÕ ve encountered hard times, particularly those overwhelmed with medical expenses.

When asked about her charitable efforts, Nancy Nichols deferred credit to her friends.

“When I ask for assistance, every one of my friends is there to help out,Ó she said.

Nancy also is deeply involved in volunteer work that boosts community spirit as well as bolstering area commerce. She spends many hours annually helping organize and conduct Lake George Winter Carnival, as well as the villageÕ s Italian Festival, which was a smash hit the very first year it was launched.

“I do this volunteer work for the love of people,” Nancy said. Ò And Paul is patient with the hours I put into it.Ó Paul Nichols has worked at Mario’s since he was 14. As a young teenager, he first worked as a dishwasher, as a busboy, and assisting in the kitchen by shucking clams, or squeezing lemons for the bartender.

Nancy noted that by investing many hours in the menial chores and working his way through the ranks through the years, Paul learned all the details of restaurant work, learning the fine points that made him effective in his management role.

Paul said that the restaurantÕ s success is due to many factors Ñ the staffÕ s attention to detail and how well they relate to customers, the fact that his kitchen staff has a long tenure and low turnover, and that the management of the restaurant has been consistent for decades.

New entrees need to be introduced, specials need to be rotated, and upgrades of the restaurantÕ s facilities and appointments need to be continually enhanced, he said. Ò People come to our restaurant with high expectations,Ó he said. Ò And we donÕ t want to let them down.Ó

The kickoff party is Monday, July 6, at Thurman Youth Recreation Building, at 6 p.m. The intent is to get all Thurman children reading, writing and illustrating this summer, encouraged with gifts and prizes donated by many area businesses. The generosity of the businesses and their words of support tell them just how important reading is to them and to the children. They will be asking parents to fill out a brief questionnaire which will guide them in deciding on new activities around reading. They continue to receive many more donations than they have space for and appreciate people storing them until the space can expanded for space and offerings.

New Adirondack Wine & Food Festival draws crowd

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ A new event has proven popular in Lake George, following the trend of other local attractions which have attracted crowds in the year they were first launched here.

The debut edition of the Adirondack Wine and Food Festival drew a substantial crowd last weekend — and rainy weather on Sunday June 28 didn’t deter people from attending, considering the large number of people lined up to sample wine, beer, spirits and specialty food items.

On Saturday, no less than 1,800 people attended, event organizer Sasha Pardy said. Ò We had a good crowd and vendors were very happy,Ó she said, noting that attendees not only sampled the beverages and food, they made purchases.

The vendors included 11 wineries, two breweries, three distilleries and two cider producers as well as enterprises offering gourmet cheese, crackers, baked goods and soaps.

A robust crowd watched the preparation of specialty foods by SUNY Adirondack students — then they enjoyed consuming the delicacies.

Chef/Instructor Matthew Bolton presided over the rotating crew of student cooks. Sunday, they prepared house-made Tagliatelle with fresh tomato bruschetta and four other dishes.

Pardy said the extent of the eventÕ s success on Saturday surprise some of the enterprises participating. Ò Some of the vendors had long lines at their booths,Ó she said. Ò Several of them discovered

they needed more staff.Ó By early afternoon, attendance reached 2,400 for the weekend, Pardy said. Ò I feel good about the turnout,Ó she said. Ò ItÕ s a new idea for Lake George, and it’s been well received already.Ó Dispensing beer after beer Sunday for Adirondack Brewery, Phil Cassella said he was impressed by the crowd, particularly on Saturday. Ò Compared to yesterday, itÕ s calm,Ó he quipped, as he filled glasses with beer to accommodate a dozen people standing in line. Ò Sales here has been awesome.Ó Nearby, Gerry Barnhart of Victory View Vineyard poured glasses of six varieties of red and white wine. Ò WeÕ ve been serving up a lot of wine, so everyone is happy,Ó Barnhart said. Ò This has been a very good event Ñ itÕ s extra well organized.Ó The next booth over, John and Robin McDougall of Lake George Distilling Co. — established two years ago — filled glasses with various spirits, including Adirondack Wildfire cinnamon whiskey and their Lake George Lemonade Moonshine. All of their varieties are distilled locally in Fort Ann. Robin McDougall said she was impressed by the size of the crowd, and their interest in boutique whiskeys. Ò Yesterday was incredible,Ó she said. Ò We were Ô out straightÕ all day Ñ it was crazy.Ó BELOW: Robin and John McDougall of Lake George Distilling Co. discuss their whiskey products with people tasting their spirits at the Adirondack Wine & Food Festival on Sunday June 28.

salutatory address, centered on the integral role of luck in the achievement of goals.

West implored his fellow graduates to focus on the short runs of luck, rather than the long ones. Ò The simplest way to illustrate this is to calculate the mathematics of probability in tossing a coin,Ó he said. Ò If you toss it 1,024 times, the odds are there will be one long run in which heads comes up nine times in a row. But there will be 32 short runs in which heads comes up four times in a row. Which is the way to bet? On the short runs, of course.”

Next to speak was WCS’s 2015 valedictorian, Noah Markwica.

Markwica’s speech began with the obligatory thanking of the administrators, teachers, parents and friends who made the class’ accomplishment possible, but quickly diverged from the typical valedictory address into a performance that incited an eruption of applause and laughter throughout the crowd.

Markwica told his audience that, as he is a pianist, friends had suggested he play an original song during his speech.

The valedictorian heeded this advice and wrote a song for the occasion, but it did not involve a piano and was not at all what his audience expected.

Markwica summoned Aineen Callahan — or Dr. A., as he called her Ñ to the stage to serve as his hype-girl as he performed a WCS-themed rap for the crowd. Ò What would a valedictorian speech be if I didnÕ t humiliate myself in front of my friends and family?” he asked as the beat dropped and the pair of national honors students slipped on black shades.

From “ballin’ out at the book fair” to “stacks on stacks on stacks on stacks of homework,” Markwica reminisced on his and his classmates’ journey at WCS, giving a special shoutout to Ò Dougie Fresh,Ó Principal Doug Duell.

Markwica dropped the mic, and the audience caught their breath, as the guest speaker of the evening, WCS alum and Warren County Sheriff Nathan “Bud” York was welcomed to the podium.

“I gotta follow that?” York quipped before he addressed the graduating class, as well as the parents present, whom he assured the graduates will Ò always be [their] babies,Ó no matter how old they get.

York’s speech was accompanied by a video which combined the graduatesÕ photos with Billy DeanÕ s song Ò Let them be Little,” recorded by York’s daughter, also a WCS alum.

The mastersingers returned to the stage to perform Jimmy Eat

All of the 41 graduating students received either an academic award or scholarship to accompany their diplomas.

The high school chorus performed the Beatles “Blackbird,” and Duell and Goralski returned to the podium for their respective addresses.

Goralski encouraged the departing seniors to follow their dreams, and reminded them that he expects them each to change the world, Ò one little personal interaction at a time.Ó Duell reminded the graduating class that commencement is not an end, but a beginning. Ò Life itself will complete your education,Ó he told the class.

Duell closed his speech just as he closes the morning announcements each morning at WCS, altering his routine directive from “make it a great day or not, the choice is yours,” to “make it a great life or not, the choice is yours.”

From there, the diplomas were presented, the tassels were turned, the alma mater was sung and the commencement was over.

WCSÕ latest batch of alumni made their way into the cafetorium to be reunited with their families and friends and begin the next chapter in their lives.

No. Warren’s grads share a close bond, strong work ethic

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN Ñ Teachers, fellow students and family members bid a ceremonial farewell Saturday to a graduating class known for its collective character as well as its academic and athletic achievements.

The graduation ceremonies June 27 at North Warren Central School exemplified the close bond that students of the Class of 2015 have enjoyed with the school community as well as area citizens.

Retired Social Studies Teacher Bernie McCann, welcomed back as guest speaker for the ceremonies, spoke of this strong connection between the students and community.

McCann talked not only about the “heart” the students demonstrated in their consideration of each other through their school career, but how that attribute would help them to achieve their goals in life.

The 33-year coach recalled the advice he gave his small cross-country teams as they competed against far-larger squads. ÒW inning is determined by the size of your individual or collective heart,Ó he said. ÒI f you want something bad enough, remember it is your heart that puts the effort into accomplishing your goals.Ó Valedictorian Grant Cooper, for years a member of McCannÕ s cross country teams and a leader of North WarrenÕ s Students Against Destructive Decisions group, also talked about heart and character.

He spoke of how his classmates had given

each other vital support in pursuing their individual accomplishments, particularly in athletics. He described how students shared early morning strength-training workouts, cheered each other on during sports games, and inspired each other to achieve academically. ÒN ot only were our student-athletes pursuing success on the field or court while managing their schoolwork, but they also promoted healthy living and sportsmanship,Ó he said. ÒW e will carry the teamwork and determination that we gained from our beloved sports into our lives as adults.Ó Cooper also talked about the camaraderie and teamwork his classmates exhibited in their studies, as well as drama productions, band and choral concerts. ÒF or years, we have really excelled in our extracurricular activities, whether by volunteering with our church groups or within the school, or through giving our talents to sports and the per-

&

Entertainment

forming arts,Ó h e said.

His speech, punctuated with humor as well as props he occasionally held up, described the character of the Class of 2015, including such dedication to academics.

“All the late nights we spent on projects and all the time doing homework and studying gave us the skills we need to take on the world,Ó he said, noting such collaboration and diligence would serve the graduates well in the future as they face challenges. ÒWh enever we are swamped with work or faced with a seemingly insurmountable task, we should try to remember all that we achieved back in our old stomping grounds — and draw strength from the knowledge that we can do it!”

Salutatorian Nick Sapienza, one of the Class of 2015’s outstanding student-athletes, also spoke of the bond shared by his classmates and the community.

Sapienza, the schoolÕ s second all-time leading scorer in basketball, has been cited for his leadership and his collaborative, selfless approach to athletics and academics. But Sapienza praised those in the audience for their roles in steering his class toward their remarkable achievements.

“Thank you to everybody here today,” he said. ÒW e truly appreciate everything that you have all done for us throughout high school, and none of us would be the people we are now without our family, friends or teachers there for us.Ó Sapienza also spoke about his classmates’ work ethic.

“When you put a group of hard workers together, the result is something special, and this was shown through our class.Ó

North WarrenÕ s 42nd annual commencement exercises also featured senior Danae Dray singing ÒB ridge Over Troubled Water.Ó Flowers were presented to Class of 2015 advisors Jean Kubaryk and William Miller.

Presenting diplomas to the graduates were North Warren school board vice president Bruce Hiller, assisted by guidance counselor Michael Therio and school principal Theresa Andrew.

Superintendent of Schools Peg Brady distributed academic awards and scholarships.

It was noted that the 34 graduates reflect varied talents Ñ they are headed into various careers, as well as off to college to pursue studies in engineering, science, education, criminal justice, communications, pre-med, pharmacy, biology, equine science, finance, psychology, information technology, sports management, graphic design, art therapy and nursing Ñ as well as military service.

As Sapienza gave his speech, he praised small-town life, noting that it engenders strong friendships, caring for others, and appreciation for the important aspects of life.

Citing these attributes of the North Warren community, Sapienza offered his classmates some parting advice. ÒR emember where you came from, and always appreciate the places and the people who made you who you are,Ó h e concluded.

Cooper offered a similar thought. ÒA s we enter our own new beginnings and go our separate ways in life, letÕ s hang on to the people who cared about us,Ó h e said.

While manhunt is over, many questions unanswered Courtroom battles just heating up

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com

the manhunt

PLATTSBURGH — Earlier this week, as Richard Matt awaited burial and David Sweat recovered from two gunshots to the torso, charges related to their brazen escape had just begun winding their way through the court system.

Gene Palmer, the correction officer who was arrested on charges in connection with the pairÕ s escape from a maximum security prison last month, appeared in Plattsburgh Town Court on June 29, where his counsel waived his right to a felony hearing.

The case was moved to the Clinton County court system upon his counselÕ s request, the standard for felony charges.

The case may now go to a grand jury, which will then make a decision to indicate Palmer on three charges related to the escape, two of them felonies.

The long-term guard is accused of giving a screwdriver and pliers to at least of the one of the inmates and burning several prisonergifted paintings in his backyard following the escape on June 6.

More charges may be coming down the pike, said Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie. Ò If there is other charges that we can present against them that the grand jury wants to charge, then weÕ ll proceed,Ó said Wylie.

Wylie said he plans on allowing PalmerÕ s new attorney, William Dreyer, an extension that will allow him to review court materials, including recorded statements, a process that he estimated will take at least three weeks.

“But I already have a grand jury seated and ready to hear the case tomorrow,Ó said Wylie.

At the appearance, Palmer wore a charcoal-colored suit and stared straight ahead, his face betraying no signs of emotion.

PalmerÕ s lawyer refused to address reporters except to confirm the case had been waived.

Palmer remains free on $25,000 bail.

Wylie said Sweat, who as of Tuesday was in serious condition at Albany Medical Center, will face at least one charge related to his getaway, escape in the first degree, a felony, once state police conclude their investigation, likely in 3-4 weeks. Ò ItÕ s a rather simple case Ñ we have two holes in the walls of the cellblocks,” said Wylie, noting the location of the adjoining cells in Clinton Correctional A-Block.

Sweat was serving a life sentence with no chance of parole for his role in the death of a Broome County SheriffÕ s Deputy in 2002.

Wylie said Sweat will be turned back over to the department of corrections once heÕ s been medically cleared.

The prosecutor said he was unaware of any comments made by Sweat following his capture in a rural field in Constable other than those shared by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who told the Capitol Pressroom on Monday that the pair had planned on going to Mexico before Joyce Mitchell, the prison seamstress who is also charged in connection with the case, bailed out. Ò Then they would go live happily ever after, which is a fairy tale that I wasnÕ t read as a child,Ó Cuomo said. Ò But we all believe what Gene Palmer, the correction officer charged in connection with the escape of two inmates from Clinton Correctional earlier this month, appeared in Plattsburgh Town we want to believe.Ó Court on Monday, June 29, where his counsel waived his right to a felony hearing. The case has been transferred to the Clinton County court system and will likely go to Sweat split from Matt several days before a grand jury sometime next month.

Photo by Pete DeMola the latterÕ s death, which explained why authorities did not find DNA from both in a cabin that was searched June 24. Ò Sweat felt that Matt was slowing him down,” said Cuomo, citing the bloody socks obtained at one of the cabins.

Wylie declined to comment on other possible charges for Mitchell, who remains at the Rensselaer County Jail.

As far as he knew, Palmer and Mitchell did not have a close relationship, their only connection being when she allegedly asked him to pass a package of hamburger meat containing hacksaw blades and a screwdriver bit to the pair.

Palmer has not been charged in relation to that incident.

According to a sworn statement, Palmer gave one of the inmates Ñ itÕ s unclear which one Ñ a screwdriver and needlenose pliers on at least four different occasions.

Wet woods, high water and tall tales I

tÕ s been an extremely, wet week to be in the woods, which is good for mushrooms, gardeners, whitewater paddlers and waterfall photographers, but not for much else.

While a fresh rain does improve the trout fishing somewhat, it can also make it downright uncomfortable to be outside, at times.

Although I was dressed appropriately, with full Gore-Tex coverage from head to toe, there was no way to escape the “prune-ing” of my fingers, nor the 3-4 inches of rainwater that created a long, deep puddle stretching from the bow to stern of my guideboat.

On several occasions over the past week, I’ve had to get off the water and empty out the boat on shore, which just couldn’t be accomplished by simply bailing it.

Fortunately, my guests were prepared for the weather, and we focused our efforts primarily on the smaller, more protected waters, where wind wasnÕ t a problem.

However, by the end of the week I didn’t have a dry pair of socks in the house. I looked like a big, white prune with arms and legs.

I took a lot of precautions and bailed the guideboat out regularly when it was raining hard, even though the boat is very stable. Paddlers should be very cautious during a heavy rain, as the water that accumulates in the boat makes it increasingly unstable.

While the passing storms disrupted our fishing somewhat, we were able to use the weather to our advantage by pursuing bass prior to the arrival of a storm, and then going after trout when

the rain eventually arrived. We ended a wet week of angling with a fine meal of breaded smallmouth fillets, perch shrimp and stuffed brook trout that was grilled over a bed of tag alder chips.

Tag alder provides a delicate smoke, and putting a bit of maple syrup into the brine will sweeten the taste.

If youÕ ve never had Ò perch shrimpÓ , itÕ s time to try something new, as yellow perch are abundant and relatively easy to catch, especially for kids.

The recipe is simple. Cut boneless fillets off the perch and slice them into small strips, about as wide as your finger.

Then, bring a pot of water with a bit of salt to a boil, and toss in a handful of strips. They will immediately curl and puff up, and as soon as the water begins to boil again; I remove the perch shrimp and place them in a bucket of crushed ice. After they have cooled appropriately, dip ‘em in cocktail sauce or spritz with a lemon and enjoy. The taste and texture is almost identical to shrimp.

Mythical, 13-inch brook trout barrier, finally broken

Published by Denton Publications, Inc. that undercuts the far bank.

Often, I’ll purposely cast a fly into the tall, streamside grass and let it drop to the water. More often than not, the technique will draw a sizable brookie out of its lair, and I’ve taken several handsome 11-12 inchers off the same beat. On the evening in question, conditions were just about ideal.

With my first cast, a small bookie swirled at the fly as I stripped it away. I quickly rolled a cast that put the fly back near the bank, when it hit. I didn’t really get a good look at the fish, but it was heavy, as it tried to seek cover in the undercut riverbank.

The fly rod bent over as the bookie conducted a head shaking, deep diving run towards the farthest section of the pool. After conducting a back and forth battle, I managed to get the fish to the surface, and it was truly huge, especially for the size of the little stream.

Following what seemed to be an interminable battle, I finally slipped the bookie into my net, and as I hefted it, I knew it would easily crush the mythical, 13-inch barrier.

It thrashed around violently in the net, as I struggled to get the camera out and snap a few photos.

Finally, I set the fish on a paddle blade for comparison, and it was several inches longer than the 9 •Ó span of my hand. By my reckoning, it measured at least 13 inches, maybe13-1/2.

Unfortunately, the fish had devoured the fly, and despite my best efforts to revive it, it bellied up. It was already getting dark, so I tossed the fist in my creel and headed out.

By the time I got back home, I was hungry!, and In no time I had the fish on the grill, with potatoes O’Brien sizzling on the side.

After enjoying a great dinner, I downloaded proof the brookie actually cracked the mythical 13 inch barrier.

Unfortunately, they were blurred beyond recognition; so I guess my buddies will just have to take my word for it, yeah, like that’s gonna’ happen!

For the past month or so, IÕ ve spent the early evening hours prospecting a local stream in an ongoing effort to top what my friends describe as the “mythical, 13 inch brook trout, barrier”.

Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact Over the years, I’ve caught hundreds of small, wild brook trout him at brookside18@adelphia.net. from the waters, and yet IÕ ve never managed to top a magnificent specimen that I caught and released over a decade ago.

Unfortunately, at the time, I wasnÕ t carrying a camera to record any piscatorial evidence, and itÕ s been well established that the veracity of a lone angler is subject to either exaggeration, or a downright lie!

As has been my habit for the past month or so, I paddled off to a secluded stretch of the stream, where I proceeded to cast a variety of dry flies, streamers and nymphs, and a few choice curse words when my flies, tippets and flyline became interminably tangled.

Once I finally had matters straightened out, brookies came eagerly to my fly, as they often do. Within a half hourÕ s time, I caught and released over two dozen specimens, ranging from four to ten inches in length.
