ADKÊ WineÊ andÊ FoodÊ FestÊ drawsÊ fromÊ aroundÊ US,Ê surpassesÊ goals

By Christina Scanlon

LAKE GEORGE — Organizers for the second annual Adirondack Wine and Food Festival thought they’d set a lofty goal, aiming to double attendance in 2016.

Not only did they surpass the 5,000 visitors over the July 25-26 weekend, they briefly had to turn away guests. In total, 5,200 tickets were sold.

Adirondack Festivals LLC, the festival host, was formed by Adirondack Winery owners Sasha and Michael Pardy.

“As we got closer,” said Sasha, “we’d already sold 4,600. We couldn’t be sure how many would show up Saturday and how many would come Sunday.”

Organizers took to social media and warned there could be some attempting to buy tickets at the gate that could be turned away.

In all, it was just a three-hour period in which organizers only allowed pre-sold ticket holders to enter.

“That was from about noon to three on Saturday,” said Sasha, which was their busiest time.

It wasn’t space issues that had organizers concerned, but a large influx of guests could lead to long lines and vendors unable to keep up.

Saturday saw 3,500 people through the gate, while Sunday had 1,500.

To remedy the situation next year, organizers are considering tickets to be sold specific to the day, so they can better gage expected attendance.

A $63,000 Craft Beverage Marketing and Promotion Grant Program was used to attract attendants from all over New England.

About 64 percent of attendants were from the Capitol region, with 20 percent coming >> See FESTIVAL | pg. 13

WARRENSBURG — The Smoke Eaters Jamboree brings a mixture of carnival-like family fun and an old-time country fair, a recipe that’s worked for more than 50 years, with no signs of slowing down.

QUEENSBURY — The search for the new Warren County administrator is on hold, following a decision last week to wait until the fall to collect a new pool of candidates.

Supervisors would not comment on discussions leading to the hiring hiatus, citing executive session and the privacy of candidates. Four candidates were interviewed several weeks ago, with no action taken following that round.

Warrensburg Supervisor and County Board Chairman Kevin Geraghty has been serving as acting administrator since the end of March when Paul Dusek vacated his seat.

Though the board previously discussed not taking action on a stipend for Geraghty’s added duties, compensation was agreed upon last week.

Geraghty expects the role to last at least until October, as budget season is upon the county.

Local duo team up for new record release A decade in the making, nature plays center role in new record by Neil Shaw and Barry Gregson

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

OLMSTEDVILLE — A love of nature, words, music and a friendship of more than 30 years has culminated into a collection of songs by musicians Neil Shaw and Barry Gregson.

Together, they’ve created a CD titled “Natural Home,” featuring 14 original and very unique pieces.

It was 10 years in the making and finally, with a help of other local artists, the collection is ready for the public.

“I wrote all the words,” said Shaw of the selections. “I wrote the music on some. Barry and I collaborated on some. Some were written by Barry alone. The real beauty in this, is that Barry and I have been writing together for 30 years.”

While they worked together throughout the years, playing public gigs together hasn’t been part of the mix.

Familiar names to the local music scene, however, were able to bring a variety of talent to the CD. The variety of music is even broader.

“There’s something for everyone,” said Shaw of the styles. “There’s folk, hip hop, jazz, romance, country rock and even romance.”

All the songs have a reference to nature, pulling from Shaw’s love of nature founded in his youth.

“I could ride a horse before I could ride a bike,” he recalled of his early days on Long Island, surrounded by farmland.

He could also swim before he could walk.

As an adult, he relocated to the Adirondacks, surrounding himself with everything he loved.

Gregson is an artist in his own right, as well.

The renowned Adirondack Rustic Furniture Maker has used his love of nature in creating masterpieces since the early 1980s.

As far as music is concerned, “I’ve been playing since 1963, and I’ve always had a good time,” he said.

It was Shaw’s vision put to words, in which he added the music. “They are all about loving nature. It’s such a beautiful thing,” he said.

Local artists who perform on the recording include Rich Ortiz, Blair Gregson, Steven Smith, Donna Britton, Adam Hyde, Kent Gregson, Frank Conti and the late Tony Jenkins.

Copies are just now hitting the radio stations.

Soon, it will be available for purchase on iTunes.

For now, CDs are available at Hudson River Trading Co., North Creek, and Sullivan’s Store in Olmstedville.

It can also be purchased by mail order. The $13 price tag includes shipping and handling. Contact Neil Shaw, P.O. Box 40, Olmstedville, New York 12857.

The cover of Neil Shaw and Barry Gregson’s Natural Home was recently released for the public.

Seagle Music Colony returns to Chestertown with ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ CHESTERTOWN — The Town of Chester, on behalf of the Chester/Horicon Youth Commission has once again received a LARAC grant, which will enable them to have the Seagle Music Colony perform the children’s opera “Jack and the Beanstalk” Saturday, July 23, at the Town of Chester Municipal Center Theater, at 10:30 a.m.

This is a children’s opera adapted by Denise Page Caraher. It combines the familiar fairy-tale story with music from the opera ‘Faust’ by Charles Gounod. This shortened version of the full opera is meant for young. The performers are four young artists attending the nine week summer training program, at Seagle Music Colony in Schroon.

This project is made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Art with support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and administrated by LARAC/ Lower Adirondack Regional Arts Council.

This is a free performance. For further information, call Barbara Repp at 494-3955.

Having served for five years previously as the budget officer, Geraghty said he was comfortable taking the reins for the upcoming budget process.

He also commended his staff at the town level for their professionalism and allowing his extra county obligations to go smoothly.

“They all know what they are doing. They do a great job,”

he said.

Geraghty will receive $1,000 a month in addition to the $21,437 he is paid annually by the county for the supervisor and chairman positions if the measure approved by the Personnel and Finance Committee is passed by the full board later this month.

Some savings will come to the county by way of the empty position. In 2015, $130,753 was budgeted for county administrator.

Public comment to be restored at Thurman board meetings Ideas for town’s future sought

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

ATHOL — Public comments will again be welcome at Thurman town board meetings beginning with the July 12 meeting, following a one-month suspension of the traditional airing of public feedback, town Supervisor Evelyn Wood said this week.

She said the Privilege of the Floor portion of the board’s June meeting was suspended because the board needed to get their decisions made efficiently, without distractions.

“We had a lot of business to conduct, and the board really felt we had to focus on getting the work done,” she said.

The suspension of public comment for the board’s June meeting prompted some grumbling around town, although there was no outcry at the session.

A month earlier, the board’s May meeting was tumultuous, with several citizens interrupting the progress of the meeting. The turmoil prompted Wood to call the police to restore order.

The June meeting, however, was orderly — and Wood said this week that she and board members appreciated the difference.

“People were very civil and respectful,” she said. “Everybody went out of the meeting feeling it was much, much better.”

At the June meeting, the board decided to hold a special public meeting to gather citizens’ ideas about the future of the town.

This “Community Visioning Workshop,” to be moderated by a neutral party, is to be held later this year, Wood said.

“Hopefully, we’ll get input from local residents about what they’d like to see in the future,” Wood said, adding that the event will not be a debate. “It would definitely help us moving forward to know what townspeople are looking for.”

Board member Mike Eddy asked about the town’s planning board, and Wood responded that it hasn’t been active since the 80’s.

“Should we revive the planning board? Do we need a committee on economic development?,” she said. “These are questions we will be seeking answers to as we gather input and direction.”

In other business, the Thurman town board: • observed a moment of silence for the parents of Loretta Santasier and for the Orlando shooting victims.

• decided to reject a sole bid for Information Technology services, and to encourage more firms to bid. This past year, Stored Tech of Queensbury provided the services, all-inclusive, for about $12,000.

• pledged to better anticipate purchasing needs so the town can obtain supplies through Warren County’s consolidated purchasing program at a lower cost. The program begins July 1.

• voted to purchase a used tandem plow truck — with a salt spreader — from the town of Bolton for $20,000, the price that another party has bid for it. Both Supervisor Wood and Councilman Mike Eddy said they examined the truck and it was worth the price.

• decided to recruit two new town employees: a part-time transfer station attendant working 19 hours per week for $9 per hour with no benefits; and a maintenance worker/ town hall cleaner for up to 15 hours per week at $10 per hour. The latter post includes accomplishing yard work, painting, and minor plumbing, electrical and carpentry work.

• endorsed resuming the procedure of acknowledging correspondence at town meetings, but not reading the letters aloud unless requested — in accordance with long-standing town policy. In recent months, some citizens have objected to some letters being read while others weren’t.

• heard that board members John Youngblood and Susan Shepler, assisted by a dozen

local volunteers including Nancy and Don Decker, have recently refurbished picnic tables and painted portions of the youth center; •heard from Supervisor Wood that the state Department of Environmental Conservation is now seeking to hire seasonal employees, and that Wood will refer local job-seekers to the appropriate state contact.

• learned that a vacancy exists on the town’s Board of Assessment Review and that local residents are welcome to apply for the position by submitting a letter of interest soon.

• were advised that one of Thurman’s three

town assessors has not been available for duty for three months, and that a resignation may be forthcoming. Supervisor Wood said that the board should be prepared to advertise for another assessor, or to consider pursuing the legal procedure of converting to a sole assessor, either elected or appointed, as other towns in the state now have.

• authorized payment of the monthly list of claims amounting to $52,933 and to transfer $11,016 from the general fund to a capital fund. Councilman Eddy voted No on the motions.

Right from wrong

ome days when you read the newspaper, watch the evening news or just watch people and the way they act you just have to shake your head and wonder where we are going as a people and what do we value?

From this 62 year old’s chair we’ve gone way off the path of sanity and into the lane of, well something very different.

Our infatuation with political correctness and the departure from common sense seems to defy logic.

Our inability to solve the problems we all recognize are problems and allowing small political issues and who gets credit holds us back from taking any action of significance. It just boggles the mind and seems so childish.

The lack of true patriotism and respect for our nation and the rights we once held so dear is discouraging.

The lack of trust and the second guessing of our law enforcement and judicial system, hindering them from being the very best they can be to keep us safe from harm is just a shame.

The anger and what appears to be outright demonizing of those we disagree with has gone way over the top.

We’ve turned our backs on our religious institutions, failing to recognize the importance of a supreme being and giving thanks for the blessings we’ve been so fortunate to receive.

Political and corporate corruption, as well as manipulation by officials who believe they are above the law has run rampant.

Work ethic, loyalty, teamwork and pride in the work place and a “can-do attitude” is taking a back seat to cutting corners, coasting, getting by and “it’s good enough attitude.”

We seem to have lost the notion of courtesy, when people put themselves and their interests first, instead of politely offering to let others go ahead of them.

As stewards of this land I fear we are letting down our forefathers who sacrificed so much to provide for our well being and leaving future generation in a much worse shape.

Anyone of these changes is perhaps no major departure from the past but when put altogether it builds toward a future country that is more about me than us and this nation didn’t get here putting me first. It became the land of opportunity and envy of the world because of our ability to watch out for each other and recognize right from wrong.

New federal overtime regulations latest example of grievous government overreach

A

s the Trump vs. Clinton battle royale for the White House enters the summer stretch, it can be easy to overlook what the current administration is doing.

For President Obama, this includes tinkering with overtime pay.

Under a new regulation issued by the Labor Department in May, the eligibility requirements for time-and-a-half overtime pay have doubled.

By Dec. 1, salaried workers earning up to $47,476 per year must receive time-and-a-half overtime pay when they work more than 40 hours per week.

The previous cutoff was $23,660.

The new policy will affect 4.2 million workers, according to the Labor Department, and the salary threshold would be updated every three years to keep up with inflation.

At face value, this seems like a sensible idea: Why shouldn’t salaried workers get paid for working overtime?

But just like the state’s disastrous minimum wage policy, which was signed

by Gov. Andrew Cuomo earlier this year, the policy is an unwarranted intrusion into the private sector, and one that will dramatically shift workplace culture.

Aside from being a classic example of a government run amok, the trucksized hole in this policy is that it will wreak havoc on industries with notoriously irregular hours like, say, the media industry.

Businesses are faced with a decision: Move those who fill management roles up, and place all others under the hourly paradigm.

Media agencies, including this one, pride themselves on relaying accurate, timely information to their readers. That includes covering long hours at nighttime meetings, weekend events, or whenever news breaks.

It’s an unpredictable business. Most professionals accept it… and even thrive on the long hours.

But shifting shoe-leather reporters to an hourly wage in preparation of the policy shift is leading to the creation of holes once those hourly allotments run out.

Moving salaried workers to hourly wages can also be demoralizing to those who argue that you can’t place a price on creativity.

Shoehorning an unpredictable industry where anything can happen is just plain wrong, and is another classic example of this president fundamentally transforming the fabric of this country, much like he did with the Affordable Care Act. The shift will also cause seismic shifts in recruiting young talent.

Creative industries — including public relations, advertising, marketing and the film biz — can be brutally competitive.

The ladder to success is often putting in long hours at internships.

While grueling, the experience accrued by shadowing professionals is invaluable.

But under this new policy, the culture of merit-based achievement is threatened, and opportunities for career advancement will be closed.

The same goes for the political sphere, where an internship is standard course for young graduates hungry for a career in public policy and the political trenches.

Like with the minimum wage and the ACA, opposing this policy is not a question of ideology, but rather of practicality and survival.

Smaller businesses and nonprofits may not be in positions to accommodate this increase by pushing salaried employees past that threshold, or simply paying the overtime.

It’s simply yet another unfunded mandate.

While these isolated Washington, D.C. policy wonks say the current system is abusive, we disagree — it’s their tinkering with the private sector that is the real threat.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

COMMENTARY

ThisÊ politicalÊ year,Ê 2016 To the Editor: This year may prove to be the most interesting political year in the last 50.

We have no less than five political races vying for the attention of Hamilton County voters.

We have the presidential, the United States Senate, the United States Congressional, the New York State Senate and the New York State Assembly races.

Candidates from all walks of life, including incumbents, are traveling our large county speaking with voters and asking for their votes.

Regardless of your political philosophy, there is much to investigate when considering how to cast your vote and for whom.

For the Hamilton County Republican Committee, it is a year that presents both personal philosophical challenges and more importantly, a responsibility to put forth candidates that have the best opportunity in our vast senate and assembly districts to win in November.

That responsibilities start with reviewing a list of potential candidates and interviewing each one personally.

In spite of what some candidate may be saying we have extended an invitation to every district wide candidate. Without allowing a candidate this opportunity to state their positions and qualifications we would be doing the voters a great disservice. I am pleased to say every candidate took advantage of this opportunity.

After the interviews comes the hardest part.

We must decide if we should endorse a candidate and if so who? For the presidential primary, the question was easy to answer: The primary took place very early in the political year. There is plenty of time to endorse and support the Republican nominee. The same holds true for the U.S. Senate and Congressional races. On the other hand, the New York State Senate and Assembly primaries take place in September, late in the political year.

The committee believes it was necessary to endorse a candidate well before the actual primary date. We have spent numerous hours sitting through interviews and even more hours deliberating on which candidate has the best qualifications to represent our county in Albany. The result is the endorsement of Assemblyman Marc Butler for Assembly and Assemblyman Jim Tedisco for NYS Senate.

Having made these tough decisions will allow us to arrange for many Meet The Candidate events throughout the summer season.

I encourage every voter regardless of party affiliation to attend these events and ask hard questions to each candidate.

After all, you are hiring this person to represent you in Albany for the coming years. We all want the person best qualified to traverse the political maze in Albany and bring effective legislation to our communities.

One last thought: Please remember voting is the one thing that makes us all equal, a constitutional privilege� Bill Murphy Chairman Hamilton County Republican Committee

PerfectÊ weather,Ê cars,Ê businessesÊ createÊ greatÊ festival To the Editor: The weather was perfect; the classic cars, from all over the two-state area, were amazing. The vendors were great and the friends and members of First Congregational Church had their game faces on. All of the above and the good graces of a gracious Creator helped to make this one of the best strawberry festivals yet.

The crowds were so great that we will admit to having underestimated our initial quantities, but we are grateful for the patience of our patrons as we worked to ensure that all who came to this year’s festival were pleased.

I want to stop and acknowledge our great sponsors and supporters for this year’s 2016 annual Strawberry Festival and Classic Car Show: CPTELCO and Bridgepoint Communications, Avery Energy, McDonalds of Ticonderoga, Air Barrier Solutions, Bodettes BBQ, Tony’s Ticonderoga Sports, G Stone Motors, Deneker Chevrolet, DeBro’s On the Way Cafe, Gunnisons Lakeside Orchard, Loreman’s, Tromblee’s Greenhouse, James Family Greenhouse, Koffee Cup Bakery, Stewarts, Pepsi, Mackenzie’s Classic Meats, Village Auto, and our friends at Crown Point Citgo.

Other supporters included Tori’s Hair, Buck Mountain Maple Syrup, Jumps for Joy bounce House, Relay for Life Team and Penelope the Clown.

Thank you all for helping to make this a fantastic family experience.

Rev. David Hirtle, Pastor First Congregational Church Crown Point

TrumpÊ aÊ Ô foul-mouthedÊ tyrantÕ To the Editor: After reading the July 2 opinion by John Sharkey of Ticonderoga I came away wondering if he was a new found prophet. Mr. Sharkey tells us Trump will be a “great president” and he does so using some of Trumps dialog. He believes those coming into our country “illegally” are bringing disease and criminal histories. Are we to believe those coming into our country legally don’t carry disease or have criminal histories?

I submit that right here in Ticonderoga we have people with criminal

histories who have lived here their entire lives. Disease is also a problem as those who use illegal drugs have passed them on to others.

When Americans think of “great presidents” we look back at what they have accomplished not what one would do if elected. Washington, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and FDR were “great presidents.” We as Americans have benefitted from what they accomplished while serving our country. Many others of both major political parties have records to be admired but none was a “great president” before serving.

Prophet Mr. Sharkey should take the time to read the history of these men and he will see that none of them declared bankruptcy as many times as Trump. He will also see that these were men of statue and statesmanship who did their best to keep America out of war unless absolutely necessary.

John Sharkey over the years has written many opinions about our military and going after other countries. I have to wonder as a veteran what branch of military service did he serve in? Those of us who served in time of conflict know the terrible cost of war and the scars one receives in his or her mind never heal. Trump who got himself deferments so he wouldn’t have to serve, touts how he as President would send our troops against whoever he chooses. Diplomacy to Trump is something that should not exist. Those who don’t care if their sons and daughters are sent into harms way at the whim of a hothead are only fooling themselves and will have a long time to mourn.

Trump’s view on world trade is a joke that isn’t funny. America needs trade partners as our world has changed. Ticonderoga has International Paper that employs many from the North Country. International Paper is exactly as its name implies, it is “International” and relies on trade partners like China and the rest of the world to keep its employees working. Perhaps Prophet Sharkey thinks America can go it alone in this economy or that Essex County is the center of the earth.

I have no idea how anyone could embrace a foul-mouthed tyrant like Trump and think he will be a “great president.” Sharkeys tirade about Hillary Clinton’s 40 years of criminal history is just another outright lie but it fits with his way of twisting the truth. As Jesus said: “Let him who is without sin throw the first stone.”

RightÊ footÊ breakingÊ lawÊ needed To the Editor: Is there a right foot braking lobby and why should we care?

Yes there is and we should care because in the last 50 years it can be blamed for the deaths of 30,000 people, the life changing injuries to millions and the financial cost of billions and this is just in parking lots. Multiply a few times when you add in the roadways.

Who is in this lobby? Those in charge of driver legislation and training and most drivers of automatic transmission cars who have been indoctrinated to use only the right foot to operate both the gas pedal and the brake pedal, based on the scientific proof of, “my father and the driving instructor said it was the only way.”

NHTSA has published data indicating that right foot pedal errors cause about 18,000 parking lot crashes each year. The lobby blames it on women and the old drivers. They refuse to even consider that right foot braking on automatic cars is too complicated for the average driver, regardless of age or gender, especially in a moment of panic.

Please for the sake of the pedestrians, cyclists and especially the children, ask those in charge to commit to a scientific study comparing right foot braking with the Left Foot Braking Method (leftfootbraking.org), or other safer Google-like methods of braking.

Medicaid Changes Proposal sacrifices cancer patients for cost savings Eric Hargis

Columnist

O

fficials at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) recently proposed a major change to the way Medicare pays for advanced cancer medicines. Unfortunately, the changes threaten cancer patients’ access to lifesaving care.

Many people are familiar with Medicare Part D, which covers prescription drugs that beneficiaries purchase at pharmacies. Part B, however, is less well known. It covers drugs for illnesses such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and immune diseases that are administered at clinics or outpatient hospitals.

CMMI believes doctors prescribe expensive drugs, rather than clinically appropriate drugs, because under Part B doctors receive a percentage of the drug’s price to cover the cost of administering it. While there is no evidence doctors prescribe the wrong drug so they make more money, CMMI nevertheless proposes to “fix” this supposed problem by altering physicians’ reimbursements.

Doctors who administer a drug under Part B were traditionally reimbursed the average sales price of the medicine plus 6 percent. Following budget cuts in 2013, Medicare officials reduced that rate to about 4.3 percent.

Now, they’re proposing to cut it to 2.5 percent, but add a flat fee of around $17 each time doctors administer a medicine.

CMMI ignores the impact this change will have on patients.

Smaller community practices and those in rural communities will drop patients that lack supplemental insurance or send them to major hospitals for treatment; this occurred in 2013 with the “sequestration” budget cuts. CMMI’s latest cuts will force more providers to turn away patients.

And if making patients potentially drive hundreds of miles each week for chemotherapy wasn’t enough, CMMI proposes to test a host of “value-based care models.” For example, in one model officials would compare a drug’s average life expectancy gains to its cost. If the drug doesn’t meet an arbitrary dollars-to-days ratio, it’s considered a bad bargain for the Medicare.

The health of tens of millions of Americans hangs in the balance.

Men have a fifty-fifty chance of developing cancer in their lifetimes; for women it is one in three.

Americans must ask themselves: when they or their loved ones develop cancer, do they want to receive the treatment their doctors say will provide the best chance of survival and quality of life? Or do they want to receive only the medicines that government officials deem costeffective?

Patient health is not something to be toyed with. It’s time for the government officials who tinker with reimbursement formulas to realize that their fiddling has consequences for real people.

Reservations are recommended. Showtime on each date is at 8 p.m. For more information, call 946-8315.

The Adirondack Art Association in Essex will spotlight an exhibit by watercolorist Ann Pember from July 1 to Aug. 2.

The Priory’s huge garage sale now gives locals an edge

tables under tents set up around The Priory house — each one featuring a different category of goods. The “Boutique” tent annually features fine collectables, new items and jewelry.

This year, volunteers will be grilling up food, available for the shoppers in exchange for a modest donation.

Many other yard sales likely in Chester Shepherd said The Priory’s Great Sale has become an annual tradition for many people, from nearby and afar.

She observed that families from nearby states schedule their vacations around The Priory’s Garage Sale so they can attend.

People coming to Chestertown next weekend will also see dozens of yard sales around town being held by homeowners

and organizations on the coattails of The Priory’s Giant Garage Sale, due to its popularity.

For more information on The Priory and its programs as well as the garage sale, call The Priory’s new director Dustin Katona at 494-3733 or see prioryretreathouse.org. The Priory is located off Pine Notch Road, off state Rte. 8 — 0.7 miles east of the highway’s intersection with state Rte. 9.

CHESTERTOWN — The incredibly popular annual Giant Garage Sale of The Priory Retreat House is coming up next weekend — and this year, area residents will have an edge over the many hundreds of people from downstate who attend.

The 2016 giant sale is to include a premier session from 1 to 4 p.m. on Friday July 15, prior to the traditional Saturday 9 a.m. opening on July 16. Unlike in prior years, the sale won’t continue on Sunday.

The addition of Friday may lessen the normal mad rush of shoppers, hundreds of whom run up The Priory’s driveway at the instant the entrance the gate is opened, to be among the first to browse through the goods.

Featuring high-quality wares, the event annually attracts thousands of people — many from neighboring states.

The Priory’s 2016 sale includes a wide range of items including antiques, collectibles, estate furniture and jewelry, household goods, tools, electronics, yard implements, doll and glassware collections, gently-used clothing, books, sporting goods and other wares that have been donated by fans of the renowned retreat.

Event organizer Lynne Shepherd of Chestertown said this year’s sale includes more furniture than ever, including vintage and modern items.

“This year we have everything from antiques to contemporary furniture, including a lot of glass tabletops and cabinets as well as mirrors,” she said.

Shepherd added that there may be more donations of goods than in any prior year.

“We’re just packed with stuff,” she said, praising the generosity of people in the region. “The whole community is involved in one way or another.”

Such involvement includes about a dozen people who work for about 11 months each year obtaining, upgrading, categorizing and pricing the goods, she said.

“It’s a lot of hard work,” Shepherd said.

The wares are then stored in storage units donated by Eric & Eric Construction of Brant Lake.

Shepherd is one of the volunteers, affectionately titled “Damsels of the Dungeon” by Priory staff.

Each year, 3,000 or more shoppers and collectors browse through the thousands of items on the Priory’s lawn or on

Chester’s Legion Post 964 upgrades planned; donors sought Open House set for Saturday July 9

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

CHESTERTOWN — Plans are underway to renovate a veterans headquarters in Chestertown, and a fund drive to raise money to accomplish the work is being launched this weekend.

An open house is to be held Saturday at American Legion Post 964 to introduce the pending construction work to the public, and all are invited to stop by. The post is located just north of the Chester Municipal Center on Main Street.

Harry Brundage, commander of VFW Post 5513, said Monday that the planned upgrades include providing access for those with mobility restrictions — including wider doorways, an entrance ramp and an accessible bathroom.

“Our members primarily served in World War II, Korea and Viet Nam —these veterans and their guests are getting older, and more

and more of them need these accommodations,” he said.

Plans also call for new energy-efficient windows, new interior walls, as well as electrical, plumbing and lighting upgrades. Also, the enclosed porch is to be reconstructed into a trophy room.

Brundage said that the structure also needs basic improvements to remain useful, as it is many decades old.

The local American Legion chapter owns the building, and the WFW Post 5513 uses it as well, for their meetings and other functions.

The fund drive begins July 9, with a public announcement of the plans during the annual veterans memorial ceremony set for 5 p.m. in conjunction with Chestertown’s Summerfest at the municipal center.

The fund drive has a head start with a grant of $500 the Legion received recently from the Gore Mountain Region Community Fund.

Brundage said the VFW and Legion posts were also reaching out to Queensbury Home Depot and Glens Falls National Bank to help sponsor the renovations, as they were major

donors to the Veterans Memorial Plaza adjacent to the Legion Post.

The Legion officials anticipate that the work — to be conducted by Mike Hill Contracting — should be completed by next spring, Brundage said.

“We invite the public to stop in on July 9 and hear about our plans,” he said.

For more information or to pledge a donation, contact Legion Post 964 Commander Joanne Ellsworth at 494-3642 or Harry Brundage at 494-2525 or 532-0211.

Veterans’ ceremony to host congressional candidate Mike Derrick

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

CHESTERTOWN — Congressional candidate Mike Derrick, a retired U.S. Army Colonel, is to be the guest speaker at a local ceremony Saturday July 9 honoring veterans of all wars.

The event is to take place at 5 p.m. on the Veterans Memorial Plaza in front of the Chester Municipal Center, Main Street.

Sponsored by American Legion Post 964 and VFW Post 5513, the ceremony is to feature patriotic songs performed

by Word Of Life Institute singers, speeches and reading of names of veterans to be added to the granite monuments on the plaza.

A Democrat, Derrick is challenging U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) for her position representing the 21st Congressional District.

Derrick, from Peru, commanded an infantry company for Operation Desert Storm during the Gulf War in the early

1990s. In other periods of his Army career, he was stationed in Germany and in Korea. Additionally, he has advised the U.S. Department of State on such topics as international missile defense cooperation.

After earning two masters degrees from Indiana University, Derrick taught history at West Point.

In prior ceremonies at the Veterans Memorial Plaza in Chestertown, as many as 500 people have attended.

from other parts of the state. In total, 25 states and Canada were represented.

Holly Camenga was one of those visitors who traveled hours for the event, coming from Lowville, in Lewis County, drawn from advertising.

“I saw it online, so I talked to my daughter who lives in Albany and we decided to go,” said Camenga. “We try to get to Lake George once a year anyway and this looked like fun.”

The Camengas did not attend in its inaugural year.

“We didn’t know about it,” she said.

Now that they’ve been, they are hooked.

“We will definitely be back,” she said.

Camenga noted though the temperatures soared, there were a lot of tents that provided shade.

Her only regret was in not getting a room in advance.

“Everything in the village was booked,” she said.

Sasha said they’d worked with many of the lodging owners in advance and had learned about the lack of room space.

Trolleys were also heavily used, making it possible for Glens Falls hotels to be used without driving, as well.

For next year, with anticipation of an even larger crowd, Sasha is working on adding another 20 vendors.

One Hundred Years Ago – July, 1916 Independence Day flop For general all around unpleasantness, the Fourth of July, 1916, will be remembered by thousands of pleasure seekers as the limit. It was a cold, raw, rainy, dismal, dreary day, which fell as a wet blanket upon the natural buoyancy of the patriotic occasion. In Warrensburgh quietness prevailed. A few bunches of fireworks were set off by the youngsters but they did’nt have much snap and made but a feeble sputtering noise.

Many young people went to North Creek to enjoy the celebration there which was reported as a big success. The annual Temperance Union picnic at Minerva was attended by about 200 people who by the use of sweaters and overcoats succeeded in keeping reasonably comfortable. A bountiful dinner was provided. A Fife and Drum Corps composed of David Jones, Hollis Jones, Leslie Hammond, Eldon Perkins and Floyd Hammond furnished martial music. An interesting feature was the singing by a male quartet composed of the Rev. D.J. Griffith, G.J. Smith, Rees LaBar and the Rev. B.S, Van Vleet.

Weather woes The worst thunder storm of the season visited this area Sunday night, July 2, 1916 with almost a cloud burst of rain.

A pine tree near John Gates’ house in Thurman’s Dartmouth District was struck by lightening during the storm. Although there has been little hot weather this season thunder storms have been unusually frequent and the June 30, 1916 storm did great damage to the Hudson Valley.

Until the July 2nd cloud burst the Schroon River had dropped rapidly and was at its usual summer level. The water has been unusually high all summer which has been a great advantage to the log drives said log foreman Michael MaCarthy who made his log drive in record time.

Some of the farmers are cutting double the hay that they did last year at this time.

Wedding bells George Bice, of Luzerne and Miss Eve Morehouse, of The Glen, were married Tuesday evening, July 4, 1916 at the home of the bride’s sister, Mrs. George Putnam, in Mill Creek, Johnsburgh. Miss Isadore Morehouse, the bride’s sister, and George Putnam were the attendants. Miss Julia Beadnell was the flower girl.

The recent death of Mrs. Hetty Green, reputed to be the world’s wealthiest woman, in New York, recalls the fact that Warrensburgh once had that somewhat famous personage as a guest. About fifteen years ago (1901) Mrs. Green, with a party of friends, on their way to Saranac Lake, stopped over night at the Grand Army House then conducted by “Uncle Pat” Heffron. It was, however, “Aunt Mary” Heffron’s unexcelled culinary art that drew Mrs. Green and her guests to the hotel, as inquiry had been made “down the line” as to where the best meals could be obtained in Warrensburgh. “Aunt Mary” therefore had the honor of catering to one whose pride was not in her money but in the Puritan ancestry who came to America on the Mayflower.

(Note – George Henry’s Tavern today stands where the Grand Army House once graced the main street of the Warrensburgh Queen Village.

In 1911 Hetty Green’s son, Colonel Edward H. Green, half in jest, mentioned to his friends that he was open to proposals of marriage and when word got around, he received 6,242 letters from American girls who said they would be happy to become his wife. A parlor maid wrote to say that she appreciated how hard it was for him to come by his money and that she would help him take mighty good care of it.)

Church holding annual lottery BOLTON — The St. Sacrament Episcopal Church is having

The Adirondack Journal Sun • July 9, 2016 | 15

Looking for toads From Champagne, France has came the complaint that the muddy trenches of World War I are invaded by armies of rats.

They are everywhere, especially in the night. They devour the provisions of the soldiers and prevent the men from obtaining sufficient sleep. There are objections to the use of poisons to kill the pests.

Experience has shown that swarms have invaded shipboards and that it has been demonstrated that a single toad frightens them and drives them away when, at a proper distance, a number of toads in wooden cages are put in the area and the rats seem to disappear. The problem is that toads are very scarce and capturing the required number to solve the problem seemed impossible to come by.

Life can be short Eugene S. Wood, 63, a prominent resident and businessman of Indian Lake, died suddenly of heart disease Thursday morning, April 20, 1916. For a number of years he had conducted a horse and automobile livery in Indian Lake. He was buried in West Chazy, his former home.

Fred Wood, 56, a Lake George carpenter, dropped dead of heart disease Thursday evening, July 6, 1916 in Glens Falls, while building a veranda on aLawrence Street home. He leaves a widow and one daughter, Mrs. Ralph Wallace.

In other news, Joseph Boss, 61, a Glens Falls bricklayer, died suddenly of heart disease while walking near the brickyard on Friday afternoon, July 7, 1916 on the outskirts of the city. Becoming suddenly faint, he sat down by the roadside and died within a few minutes. Coroner Dever said that death was due to heart failure super induced by the heat.

Sweet and sour notes Richard Sawyer is building a new house in Sodom and intends to have it ready before cold weather.

Mrs. John Robbins, of Bakers Mills, on July 7, 1916 became the new mother of a baby boy.

A new roadway is being laid on the Osborne Bridge, at the foot of Elm Street, which is intended to be of a permanent nature. Two-by-fours are used, laid sideways and covered by sand and asphalt. The wooden Woolen Mill Bridge, at Milton Avenue, at present affords the most convenient crossing.

Readers are welcome to contact Adirondack Journal/ Sun correspondent Jean Hadden at hjadden1@nycap.rr.com or 6232210. their annual lottery again. Only 200, $100 tickets will be sold and the winner will receive $10,000. This year’s beneficiary is the Bolton After School Program. They will receive $5,000 and the remaining $5,000 will go to the Phil Trembley Memorial Fund for the Church’s buildings and grounds projects.

Tickets can be purchased from church members, in local restaurants and at the church’s thrift shop or by calling Jennifer Scheiber at 668-5566 or Leona French at 668-9201. The drawing will take place Labor Day weekend
