Fireworks misuse prompts new safety concerns
This Week TUPPER LAKE
By Thom Randall
A ‘Wild Walk’ through the forest
thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ A substantial number of complaints over illegal, dangerous or annoying use of fireworks recently in Lake George Village and the surrounding area has prompted the village to hold a special board meeting Thursday, July 9 to discuss how to curb such behavior. Village officials said this week that one of their peace officers arrested a man accused of tossing fireworks near a horse and carriage that carries passengers through the village. According to a report filed with the village, the explosive device caused the horse to buck and pull the carriage into oncoming traffic. More than 50 other fireworks-related complaints were received by village authorities this week, far more than the routine number around the Fourth of July than in prior years, village leaders said. Area residents have also reported far greater use of con-

New Wild Walk takes visitors into the heart of the forest By Pete DeMola pete@denpubs.com
TUPPER LAKE — A highly-anticipated new walkway at the Wild Center is now open, an experience that takes visitors deep into the heart of an Adirondack forest before bringing them up to the treeline. It’s an encounter that designers say is intended to transform the way visitors can see into the natural world by showcasing the perspective of the rest of nature, from earthbound critters to soaring eagles. The $5.5 project, nearly a decade in the making, was designed to fully immerse people in nature, explained Chip Reay, the project’s designer. Visitors make their way through a bird feeder alley before winding their way up the walk, which is supported by teepeetype poles and rails of white pine that mesh with the surrounding forest. The incline is so gradual on the elevated trail, said a tour guide, it initially appears the poles are shrinking. A series of bridges and platforms suspended 40 feet above the ground are dotted with observation points that offer a various views of the surrounding landscape. The end destination? A eagle’s nest that offers views of Whiteface Mountain and flashes of the Raquette River. “It’s ambitious, it’s big, it’s delicate, it’s wonderful,” said Reay. Hundreds explored the walk at its launch on July 4. Kids scrambled on a spider’s web that stretched 30-feet above the ground while others scampered through a reproduction of a hollow pine. Up in the sky, dignitaries delivered their comments from the woven nest.
Wild day
Tupper Lake Mayor Paul Maroun recounted the decade-long journey that saw one of the nation’s premier museums find a home in this central Adirondack community, singling out Donald “Obie” Clifford, one of the center’s original ideological architects, for selling him on the idea. “This is a wild day for Tupper Lake,” said Maroun. Karen Thomas, a museum trustee, said the exhibit makes for a critical antidote to both urban dwellers and rural residents. Even those in rural communities have less and less time to spend in the nature, she said. “Anyone with an inquisitive mind can journey up into the treetops, take in the view and take a deep breath,” Thomas said. “Infinite points of view, new ways of seeing.” Rep. Elise Stefanik was more succinct as she took in the view on the hazy July morning: “I have one word — wow,” Stefanik said. “What a special day.”
Strong start
Visitors were equally effusive in their praise, like Jackie Zhang, a New York-based IBM staffer who was spending the week in the Adirondack Park with friends. “It’s very nice,” he said, hugging his companion while adjust-
Children scamper on a spider’s web at the Wild Center in Tupper Lake on Saturday, July 4. The new interactive exhibit, nearly a decade in the making, is part of a new $5.5 million project designed to break down the walls of the natural history museum and take visitors directly into the heart of an Adirondack forest.

ing his selfie stick. Both of them wore tee-pee hats. Wilson Tang, of Brooklyn, said the visit marked the latest stop in an itinerary that also included Whiteface Mountain, the Ausable Chasm and Lake George. Will he come back? “Definitely,” he said. Over 10,000 have visited the Walk since June 27. Museum officials hope the exhibit’s opening will boost attendance this year from 70,000 up to, and even past, the 100,000 mark. It’s just one part of the Wild Center experience. Indoors, at the museum that resembles a Great Camp, visitors come nose-to-nose with nature through a series of interactive exhibits, from frolicking otters to a pond that gently laps up against the atrium, an experience that is initially disorienting. In late-June, the state launched an summer campaign encouraging travel to destinations across the state, including the Adirondacks. “That kind of exposure has made a huge difference to us,” said Lynn Birdsong, the Wild Center’s board president. Birdsong noted the $5.5 project was funded, in part, by $1.25 million in grants awarded to the North Country Regional Economic Development Council (the rest was, and continues to be, funded by private donors). “They gave us the confidence to go forward with the plan and complete this project,” Birdsong said. “It’s here and it’s wonderful.” Regional Council co-chair Garry Douglas said funding the Wild Walk was an early priority project and an example of Gov. Andrew Cuomo delegating authority to the regional councils to pinpoint projects in their areas that will support economic development. Douglas lauded the system as one that trusts locals to decide what the projects will be. Funding applications for the Wild Walk were successfully put forward twice. “It really is very much an example of the changed paradigm of how economic development is being done in the region thanks to Gov. Cuomo,” said Douglas. Adirondack Park Agency Chairwoman Leilani Ulrich said the agency was “thrilled” when they first learned of the center’s vision and “awed” as they followed the process as it eventually became a reality. Ulrich called Tupper Lake one of the Park’s most resilient communities. When her agency first approved the plans for Wild Walk, said Ulrich, it was a satisfaction something only eclipsed when the board approved the Adirondack Club Resort project in January 2012, she said. ÒI felt a great deal of hope that day in that boardroom, as did all who were present,” she said. “And I feel that same hope and pride
here today — Tupper Lake is rising.” Cuomo, too, chimed in Ñ if only in spirit through a letter read to the crowd by Ulrich. “It’s sure to be a great attraction for the Adirondack Park,” said Cuomo of the skywalk. “We have a governor who loves the Adirondacks like very few before him,” said Ulrich.
Sustainability
The project’s landscape designer, William Palmer, said environmental stewardship has always been a keystone of the project. “The idea from the beginning was to protect as many trees as possible,” he said. The APA wanted to know exactly which trees were taken down and how many. As work got underway, surgical incisions through the forest gave builders 10 feet on each side to work with in order to minimize the ecological footprint. Trees are actually touching the edges of the Wild Walk, Palmer noted, while helium balloons were floated as part of a visual test to see if any elements of the exhibit are visible from elsewhere. “It’s absolutely spectacular,” said Palmer. “The idea that was simply a long bridge has turned into something that is much more magical.”
Symbol of peace
Just like they did exactly nine years ago when the center first opened, the Kanienkehaka Kaianerehkowa Kanonhsesne: People of the Way of the Longhouse Akwesasne Men’s Council offered their blessings. The three men planted a tree, beat a drum, yelled three times and then chanted softly as a small fire, fueled by tobacco, lifted both their song and smoke skyward, their words rising and falling through the trees. Rarahkwisere, the Wolf Clan representative, was joined by Bear Clan representatives Kanaretiio and Kanaseraka. The trio gave thanks to the earth in comments that were also streaked with caution. “Today we look around what’s happening in our society, how a lot of things are taking place that is not good for our environment,” said the representative. All people should be good environmental stewards to ensure future generations can enjoy what was given to us as a gift, he said. The three yells, later explained one of the representatives, was to let the universe know that they’re still there. “We’re still alive. It’s our way, like the birds that you hear in the wilderness here in the wild… you hear the birds, they’re still here. And so are we, we’re still here.”

Chester’s ‘Summerfest’ to feature games, fireworks, music By Thom Randall
and cotton candy spun by Cub Scouts. Vendors will be offering everything from fried pickles to clam rolls, barbecued pork sandwiches and tacos. Sponsors of Summerfest are the North Warren Chamber of Commerce, the Town of Chester, and local businesses.
thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — An expanded lineup of children’s activities is to be featured Saturday at Town of Chester’s Summerfest 2015 — an event that for years has offered family fun, fireworks, live music, craft vendors and various community exhibits. Summerfest is to be held from 2 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. July 11 on the recreation field behind the Town of Chester Municpal Center at 6307 Main St. in Chestertown. Last year, a climbing wall was provided courtesy of Word of Life Institute, and it is returning on Saturday, along with balloon sculptor Daryl Baldwin, who has annually amazed both adults and children with his inflated creations. The climbing wall is to be available from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.. New to Summerfest this year is a number of children’s games, including a sack race and a bean bag toss, which joins the annual tug-of-war competition that has been popular in recent years. Games coordinator Nikki Monroe Rising of Brant Lake said that all activities are offered at no charge. “We added a number of games because we wanted to provide more things for kids to do while keeping it free of charge,” she said, noting several contests will likely feature prizes. Local Girl Scouts along with members of the North Warren Field Hockey team and representatives of the school’s ParentTeacher Organization will be conducting the games, she added. Also new to the festival are two bands playing music live, all day and into the evening, rather than one entertainer. Featured will be the country sounds of City Limits from 2 to 6 p.m. and The 1979 Band from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Also to be featured at Summerfest is a Disney-themed bounce
Veterans ceremony to be featured
Area veterans of all the nation’s wars are to be honored, in a ceremony at 5:30 p.m. on the memorial plaza in front of the Chester Municipal Center. The event is to include announcement of the names of local veterans to be added soon to the granite monuments of the Chester Veterans Memorial. At the 2011 Summerfest in Chestertown, children yank on a rope during a tug-of-war contest, vying to win a $50 cash prize for their local fire companies.

house and face painting Ñ both at no charge. Strolling over the festival grounds greeting children will be the characters Ironman, Spiderman, Superman and Elsa of the animated movie “Frozen.” Face painting will be conducted by Jessica LaFountain, Sure to attract a crowd will be Baldwin, who fashions dozens of different complex items out of balloons — faux motorcycles, chainsaws, animals, you name it. For the last several years at Summerfest, Baldwin has entranced both adults and children with his creativity. Summerfest will also feature exhibits by various community groups as well as traditional fair food, including fried dough, hamburgers and hot dogs grilled up by the field hockey players, popcorn prepared by local Youth Commission members,
Several other events and activities are being held concurrently with Summerfest. The Warren County Historical Society is hosting a guided tour of the Starbuck Farm, featuring noted archeologist David Starbuck explaining the ongoing restoration of the buildings on the historic property on Starbuck Road. The tour begins at 6 p.m. Saturday, and those who wish to bring a picnic supper are welcome as soon as 5 p.m.. The Art in Chestertown Gallery will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. over the weekend, featuring its Summer Arts Summit exhibit, which runs through July 25. This show features paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography fiber art, cards, gifts, jewelry and woodworking by regional artists. The gallery is located on Main St. in downtown Chestertown.

we can, but we don’t turn anybody away,” said councilman Bob Olson. A number of civic organizations are banding together to help bring Horicon Day to life, including the Brant Lake Association and the Horicon Historical Society and the Horicon Volunteer Fire Company, who will again provide activities for the kids, including two bounce houses. Live entertainment will abound at Horicon Day, with local band Collette and the Mudcats taking the stage from 3 until 6 p.m. and Willie Playmore following from 6 p.m. until dusk, when the fireworks begin. Performing between these sets will be a group of dancers from the Guiding Steps North Dance Studio. Other activities planned are a noon to 1 p.m. car wash at the Horicon Firehouse sponsored by the class of 2017, a free rockclimbing wall, face-painting, a 4:30 p.m. pie eating contest, a photo booth and a car show.
The event will also see demonstrations from the Warren County Sheriff’s office, including their new police K9 and a fingerprinting booth, the North Warren EMS, an autism booth sponsored by 16-year-old autistic Cub Scout Jacob Ferguson and a New York State Fire Safety simulator. Refreshments will be served throughout the day by a food tent sponsored by the Horicon Auxiliary, cotton candy and snowcones provided by Cub Scouts and grilled hot dogs, hamburgers and sausages cooked up y community volunteers starting at 2 p.m. “All of us who volunteer think it’s worthwhile,” Olson said. “There truly is something for everybody.” Horicon Day coordinators are still seeking participants for their car show, as well as businesses and organizations interested in free vendor-space. Interested parties should contact Nikki Rising at 494-2178.

Whitehall, Lake George to be featured in TV season finale By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com WHITEHALL Ñ A recent investigation into the Bigfoot phenomenon will be the anchor to the two-hour season finale of a popular Animal Planet television show. In the 10 p.m. local time episode of the July 12 “Finding Bigfoot” television show, a group of sasquatch hunters scour the Adirondacks looking for the elusive creature. According to Hannah Sedgwick, Communications representative for Animal Planet and Discovery Communications, members of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) Matt Moneymaker, Cliff Barackman, James “Bobo” Fay and Ranae Holland visit the Adirondacks including Lake George and the New York/Vermont border to continue their search for Bigfoot. The season finale episode, titled “Bigfoot State of Mind,” airs as the second episode of the two-hour season finale. Sedgwick gave a tease to the episode: “The team goes ‘squatchin’ after hearing leads from local residents about cryptic encounters with Bigfoot himself. There have been reports of Bigfoot in the Adirondacks for decades with a particular increase in sightings during the 1970s. They investigate different areas of the Adirondacks to determine ideal locations for a Bigfoot refuge. The BFRO team decides to focus its search on the southern end of Lake George and Whitehall.”

Whitehall has, for a long time, been an Adirondack epicenter of Sasquatch activity, according to researcher Paul Bartholomew, whose books include “Monsters of the North Woods,” and co-authoring “Bigfoot: Encounters in New York & New England.” Ò It is multiple sightings that put Whitehall where it stands as that hit spot,” Bartholomew said in a previous interview. “The sightings are
not just recent, but go all the way back to the Iroquois and Algonquians and their stories about great monsters.” Some of the most famous sightings in the town came between the years of 1975 and 1976. “In August of 1976, there were several law enforcement officers that over the span of two days recorded at least nine witnessed accounts along Abair Road,” Bartholomew said. “That became sort of the landmark sighting.” One of those people was Brian Gosselin. “Here’s what I recall: The thing was always standing on two legs,” he said. “And it walked fast. People have asked me if it had a neck. I don’t remember a neck. I remember turning on the spotlight and seeing those big red eyes and the hands that came up (to cover the face).” Gosselin said he has returned to the site looking for more evidence. “Sometime later, my nephew Greg Gosselin and I returned to the scene,” he said. “We walked from the paved road through the field and into the woods to an old, abandoned road near the Poultney River. There’s a lot of clay and sand back there. Near the river bank, I found a footprint covered with pine needles. Finding that footprint was a coincidence. “The toe impressions were perfect; even the heel mark was good. For a human to make that impression you’d have to jump up and down several times,” Gosselin said. There was also an account from Clifford Sparks, who said he had seen the same creature in 1975 at the Skenesborough Golf Course. In 1982, late Whitehall Police Department
member Dan Gordon had an encounter with what he believed was a Sasquatch. “We went just past the rock cuts just before where the county shed is, and it walked right out in front of us, leaned down almost as to look into the car, then jumped over the other side of the road and headed into the trees,” Gordon said in a previous interview. “At first, I still did not want to believe what I was seeing and even commented to my partner, ‘that was some bear.’ He responded by saying, ‘you and I both know that was no bear.’” This will not be the first time Whitehall has welcomed a television show to its town in search of a Sasquatch, with both the History Channel and now-defunct Outdoor Life Network filming on-location for documentaries about sightings. Ò I have made nothing off telling my story well, I guess I did get a free copy of the History Channel show,” Gordon said. The community itself embraces the lore and legend, with both the town council and village board of trustees passing local laws in 2004 making the Sasquatch a protected creature within the municipality. There has also been a festival in honor of the creature, usually held in September, during the peak months of reported Sasquatch activity. Anyone willing to share stories with the Animal Planet crew is asked to email the producers at Bigfoot.Adirondacks@gmail.com. -Lou Varricchio contributed to this story
Caboose concession moved to Thurman, new train cars added By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — The Saratoga-North Creek Railway has progressed recently in providing new accommodations for passengers riding on its tourist trains, the firm’s general manager reported to Warren County supervisors June 29. Justin Gonyo told the county leaders that the railway has moved its concession caboose from the Riverside Station in Riparius — where it had been parked for several years — to its new site in Thurman Station, to provide fast food to the public as well
as the railway’s passengers. Geared to accommodate the passengers on the railway’s North End Local Service, the caboose concession is now open through weekends and several hours during the week. It’s now serving up hot dogs, hamburgers, drinks, french fries and snacks. The North End Local excursions are geared to enticing the many thousands of Lake George visitors to take a train ride. Gonyo also said the railway was adding two additional dome cars and two more locomotives to its inventory, and that they featured 800-watt generators which would enhance passengers’ experience during train trips. He said the additional train cars meant 130 more passengers
could be accommodated per trip. Gonyo added that the upgrades were accompanied by new campaigns to promote train travel among area tourists. “We’re very, very busy now,” he said. The railway’s summer schedule started July 3. Gonyo also informed county supervisors that progress is occurring in the railway’s freight service. He said that 1,000 tons of stone were moved out of Tahawus to a destination in Taunton Mass., for use in road construction, and that 1,000 tons more would be moved in the near future, and 9,000 tons more thereafter.

Waterfall accident witness thanks strangers, raises concerns By Ryan Edwards
ryan@denpubs.com BOLTON — On Friday, July 3, a South Glens Falls man fell 50 feet down Shelving Rock Falls just off Log Bay in Lake George, injuring his head and fracturing his spine. Only slightly over a mile through a trail in the woods from the eastern shore of Lake George, the falls are a popular hiking destination where multiple people are injured each year climbing the slippery rocks, including a 16-year-old girl who fell around 12 feet the day after this incident. Shawn LaChapelle of South Glens Falls and Kayla Bennett of Queensbury visited the falls on a hike to take pictures and relax, Bennett said. Both had visited the falls on a number of occasions, and LaChapelle, an avid hiker, had climbed them both in the summer and when frozen in the winter. While the two stood atop the falls, LaChapelle slipped and was carried by the water down the rocks, where he suffered four lacerations to his head and a three fractures to his lumbar spine, called a compressed fracture. He has no memory of the incident. Had it not been for the kindness and bravery of a number of strangers in the area, LaChapelle’s injury could have been much more severe, possibly life threatening, Bennett said. Two young men who were also visiting the falls that day stopped LaChapelle as he floated unconscious down the stream,
rescuing him from the water before he went down another section of waterfalls. From there, Bennett said, a number of other strangers rushed in to help before she had even made her way down the falls. LaChapelle regained consciousness shortly after he was removed from the water, and a woman from another group of visitors, who happened to be a medical doctor and have a first aid kit on-hand, aided Bennett in wrapping the wounds to LaChapelle’s head and ensuring the protection of his broken spine. The woman made a call to 911 at around 4 p.m., and around 45 minutes later, the first responders were on the scene, Bennet said. Responding to the incident were West Fort Ann Volunteer Fire Company, Fort Ann EMS, Fort Ann Volunteer Fire Company, Washington County Sheriff’s Office, New York State Police, State Forest Rangers and Bay Ridge Rescue Squad, according to the dispatch records. LaChapelle was airlifted to Albany Medical Center, where he did not require surgery, but was put in a back brace to support his spine. The lacerations to his head required stitches and staples. According to Bennett, LaChapelle was up and moving with the help of a walker on Tuesday, July 7. Ò He is in good spirits, and doing real well,” Bennett said. The biggest shock for Bennett, she said, is that, had it not
Chester Library’s book sale to feature new selections By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN— The local library’s summer book sale — which routinely attracts hundreds of people not only from the region but from all over northeastern U.S. and Canada Ñ is to be held Friday, June 17 and Saturday, June 18. Scheduled for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the second floor of the Town of Chester Municipal Center, the sale features a wide selection of intriguing books, according to Mary Lou Smith of the Friends of the Chester Library, the organization sponsoring the event. Among the 70-plus categories of materials are novels, mysteries, and science fiction, along with crafting books providing instruction on quilting and needlework. Biographies include works on political, literary, entertainment and historical figures. In non-fiction, there are collections that range from history and politics, to business, self-help and travel as well as true crime. Classic works and volumes of poetry are also featured. New novels and popular authors are wellrepresented in the sale, Smith continued. Media available include DVDs, books on disk, music CDs, magazines, games, puzzles, and records — and free VHS tapes. The sale’s collection of children’s storybooks
and non-fiction collection is extensive, Smith added. Also, a variety of teaching materials, textbooks and volumes in assorted fields of knowledge will be available. As in prior years, the thousands of books will be meticulously arranged in dozens of categories. Coffee-table books, large-print volumes and the new larger “trade paperbacks” are featured in the sale, which includes a silent auction of a small selection of the more valued items. New this year is a collection of mountaineering books which feature the sport’s history as well as instruction and personal profiles. The sale also includes 300 cookbooks from the estate of Roberta Appleby of Chester. These cookbooks range from basic instructional manuals to exploring exotic cuisines. Smith said that the sale also features an array of books related to the Adirondacks — either the area’s geography, history, nature, or recreational guides as well as journals by area authors. She said the book sale is the Town of Chester Library’s primary fundraiser. Ò Our goal is to raise money to support the library — as well as recycling all these wonderful books,” Smith said. For details on the book sale, call the library at 494-5384.
been a busy weekend, LaChapelle would have been swept away by the powerful current with no one around to intervene. “It’s not a hard waterfall to get to,” she said. “I don’t know how many people fall down it each year, but it does seem like something should be done about it.” Bennett suggested that something as simple as a sign on how to spot potential dangers on the falls, or designating some areas off limits could potentially save a life. If it could happen to LaChapelle, it could happen to anyone, Bennett said, especially tourists less familiar with the Adirondack landscape. “Shawn is such an intelligent guy, especially when it comes to hiking,” Bennett said. “He’s seen that waterfall many times.” Above all else, Bennett said she would like to extend her thanks to the strangers who stepped up to help her and LaChapelle through the traumatic incident, whose names she never had an opportunity to learn. “I definitely got some hugs from some strangers,” she said. “It’s good to know there are good people out there.”

A rising tide lifts all boats
D
o fast food workers deserve higher wages? A panel assembled by the New York State Department of Labor unanimously determined last month that fast food employees deserve a significant wage increase. The decision has sparked a heated debate across social media about who deserves what in American society. How did we get here? In the wake of fast food industry protests, earlier this spring Gov. Andrew Cuomo directed the labor department to create a three-person panel to study fast food wages in the state. While the group has concluded that an increase is necessary, they have not yet made their full recommendation as to how extensive that increase should be. The board is scheduled to meet on July 13 to continue its deliberations before an official decision is reached. From there, the governor’s labor commissioner will either accept, reject, or modify the recommendation. One of the board members said the wage should be set at a minimum of $15 an hour, “the lowest self-sufficiency standard in the state.” The other two agree that the raise should be “substantial,” but should not lead to layoffs. Although it should come as no surprise that fast food workers are underpaid, this figure has sparked outrage among those who believe those jobs not to be worth $15 an hour. Our question is: Why? Why should anyone who puts in an honest week’s work have to struggle to keep a roof over their head and food on their table? The board concluded that 60 percent of fast food workers are enrolled in at least one public assistance program. A significant increase in their wages would lift this burden from the taxpayers and place it deservingly upon the shoulders of employers instead who can unquestionably afford to pay it Ñ in this industry, at least. For instance, the CEO of McDonald’s earns $9,247 an hour, compared to the average employee wage of $7.73. Why should those at the top rung of the fast food ladder force it upon the taxpayer to keep their employees alive while they hoard a mountain of wealth to which they aren’t entitled? It has been proven time and time again in a litany of academic studies, including the labor department’s research, that New York’s minimum wage of $8.75 per hour is far from a living wage, and that, had the minimum wage kept up with the rate of inflation over the years, it would have increased to just over $20 per hour by 2012. So, to those who maintain the argument that fast food workers should not see an increase that raises
their pay above that of nurses or military personnel — you’re right. No one in the country should be making less than $20 per hour. But they are. Now is the time for a rising tide to lift all boats. In previous decades, a family in which both parents earned a minimum wage salary or slightly above could afford to make essential expenditures such as housing costs, food, vehicle payments, insurance and healthcare costs, all with cash left over for vacations and non-essential purchases. This stability is nonexistent for minimum wage employees today. The wage board has heard reports from dozens of workers who say they struggle to pay these everyday living expenses at the current minimum — which is set to raise to $9 per hour at years’ end, although, according to the workers, this will be of little help in making ends meet. Providing a living wage to our fast food workers, and eventually to all minimum wage employees, will endow the working class with spending power that will undoubtedly result in a necessary shot in the arm for the economy. A family who once relied on government assistance just to put dinner on their table could afford to shop for groceries at a farmers’ market rather than Wal-Mart, or eat at a local restaurant once a week — maybe take a yearly vacation. As it stands right now, these would-be consumers are making little contribution to the economy outside of essential spending. Missing out on this revenue hurts everyone Ñ local business especially. This increase is not charity; it’s what these workers are owed. It’s significantly less than what they’re owed, in fact. Lifting these workers above the poverty line will allow them to re-claim a middle-class identity, which, in addition to allowing for them to make greater contributions to the economy, would provide them with a sense of financial stability which would afford them more time for volunteerism and participation in charitable causes. The American middle class is all but nonexistent, and its continued shrinkage will certainly be the death of small business, not, as some would suggest, the prospect of having to shell out fair compensation to employees. If wages remain stagnant while the cost of living increases, no one will be able to afford to patronize small businesses, and the working class will continue to seek cheaper alternatives, further widening the seemingly endless chasm between the upper and working class. We support this long-overdue increase to the minimum wage. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board, Dan Alexander, Keith Lobdell and John Gereau

Letters to the Editor
More gun control? To the Editor: This is a response to your Publisher’s Column on Saturday, June 27, News Enterprise on gun restrictions. If I thought for a moment that there was (and I wish there were) a way to put logical “heads” together on both sides to try to solve the issues at hand, I’d do it in a minute. However, all one, that knows the facts, has to witness is Schummer, Bloomberg, and Hillary putting forth lies and misinformation thru the use of their power, to try to totally disarm us, and we know that’s not going to happen. If we got involved with them we would certainly come out on ‘the short end of the stick’! They are ruthless, bald faced liars-- period! There are countless statistics and facts that prove gun control does not work. Just look into the C.D.C. That Bill Clinton commissioned to prove just that. When it came out the opposite of what he wanted, it was never published-- hmmmm? The Federal (N.I.C.K.S) background checks have been in place for many years. Yet they are pushing for more background checks? Why? They have not done a thing to prevent these shootings or gun violence? The general public is under the impression that you can just go into a gun shop and purchase a gun -- you can not! Yet this stuff continues. Why, because they are not addressing the real issues. Guns are not the issue only one of many means to carry out the crimes. If looked into, you’ll find that most were illegal or stolen. Adam Lanza over in Connecticut, tried to buy a gun and could not. They lied about that shooting telling everyone that he used a AR-15 which he did not! The misinformation stayed mainstream news, yet the truth never did?-Why? If you could totally disarm the general public, it would do nothing to stop these crimes. This is evidenced in England where they confiscated everyone’s guns and the crime rates soared. They have some of the highest murder rates in the world! It is easiest for a politician to appease the public by simply passing another law or bill, instead of putting the real effort into fixing the problem. Back in the early pioneer days, with these brave explorers trying to settle an untamed wilderness, they were on constant alert from roving bandits and Indians who could attack at anytime, they kept loaded guns around all the time to protect themselves and their families. They didn’t have to go unlock a safe (if they existed of course) or they’d be dead. There was no cry about kids and guns, because these kids were taught about them. As strange as it sounds, we are worse off than they were. Due to just the shear numbers of people now and the druggies that would kill someone for just about anything to get more, or unscrupulous criminals who are just plain too lazy to get a job and on and on. We need to be able to protect ourselves now more than ever. Some drug maniac comes crashing thou the front door what do you do? Ask him to wait a minute until you unlock your gun? One of the biggest problems today is just the plain ‘ol lack of common sense. Too many people have lost touch with reality and are easily led by politicians. The media is a HUGE source of one sided editorials and total lack of impartiality. It is so obvious to us when we see article after article and show after show all displaying the one sided argument at disarmament and attempts at more gun control, that they are being controlled by persons with the same agenda as the politicians. Where’s the news that’s out there showing where an armed patron stopped a shooting or saved someone? That’s not news? You may see it in a tiny blip somewhere but it certainly doesn’t make mainstream where all the negative part does. As far as I’m concerned it’s very clear what I see and that’s the brainwashing of America. And we are supposed to sit down with these people and try to work out a solution? This is the main reason we are not giving another inch in terms of more gun control. We tried and all they want is more and more and to no avail. I’ll end with a simple question: if gun control does not work (and that is a fact) why then would these untrustworthy politicians keep pushing for more & more? Look back thru history for your answer.

Down with greenie dictatorship! To the Editor: The latest press release of the so-called Adirondack Council is pure bull. They continue to press for extinction of the Adirondack towns and villages by banning all jobs, businesses and industry throughout the Adirondacks. They continue to demand the destruction of all private property and to ban outdoor recreation on state lands. They have destroyed our wildlife habitat and food sources. They are responsible for the poisoning of over 3,000 waters and the murder of our brook trout strains. Anyone with common sense knows that the pines and hemlocks of the forest preserve are causing the damage to our waters. Remember the tanning industry and what they used in their process. They continue to lie about Article XIV verbiage which states that

meaning, will discourage this learning process and at the same time add another impediment on an already struggling free enterprise system. The best example I can provide just took place over the last few weeks as the region and the world desperately sought information on the escaped convicts. Reporters are considered professionals. A number of our staff members spent a great deal of time on the scene and staying completely committed to covering the story 24/7. They did so because of their commitment to their career, the company and to our readers. We did not demand this of them. I could not have authorized the amount of overtime it would
all forest preserve lands shall be WILD FOREST lands, Not Ò forever wild.” They continue to oppose all access to state lands by our disabled veterans, wounded warriors, elderly, and all others less than physically fit. They demand the entire forest preserve be kept only for their elitists’ greenie scum. They close all roads to lock the general public out. They continue to destroy the economies of the local towns, ban snowmobiling, ban ATVs, ban horses, ban all access except for hikers, and ban year-round tourism. They oppose all jobs, businesses, and industry. The time is long overdue to amend Article XIV and restrict all forest preserve lands to those lands above 3,000 feet elevation. All lands below 3,000 feet elevation shall be returned to the local township in which they are located. The town shall decide how these lands shall be used, for recreation, jobs, etc. It is time our local officials and legislators stood up for the people who elected them, not these foreign greenie scum. Time for them to demand every cent in the Environmental Protection Fund and every penny of the Real Estate Transfer Tax be use for the betterment of their local community; not for purchasing more lands. Time to restrict the forest preserve, abolish the APA, and allow the people of the Adirondacks to live and work here without this dictatorship by greenies. Don Sage Schroon Lake
Controversial ideas of right to bear arms To the Editor: The people of Warren County were recently given an inside look at the workings of a judicial mind. At about the same time, they were afforded a like opportunity to see the mental gymnastics of an editorial mind upon a similar topic. Both addressed the controversial subject of the right to bear arms. When one follows the Adirondack trails of revolutionary history, it is curious that both thoughts were produced among them. First, the readers of the Thursday, June 25, issue of The Chronicle got to see a jurist construe a law with a bent towards a preferred interpretation, in disregard of a plain meaning. On the subject of unrestricted, concealed carry pistol permits, Warren County Judge John Hall, responding to a complaint of judicial legislating stated, “New York Penal Law Sec. 400.00(2)(f) prevents a judge from issuing an unrestricted license except ‘when proper cause exists for the issuance thereof’” (Emphasis added). Actually, the Penal Code requires that such a license “shall be issued… when proper cause exists…” Rather than prohibit, the law mandates; it imposes an obligation where there otherwise is invested judicial discretion. Secondly, the readers of an editorial opinion in the Friday, June 26, Lake George Mirror were given a chance look at how an opinion on a legal subject might be swayed by philosophical leanings. Criticizing Assemblyman Dan Stec’s vote against legislation that would mandate that guns in a private home be kept under lock and key, the Mirror opined that the U.S. Constitution does not guaranty a right of privacy commensurate with the Second Amendment right to bear arms. The curious thing about both contentions is that they appear based upon a belief that the drafters of the Constitution, having just fought a long, arduous and bloody revolutionary war against a tyrannical government would have intended to create a new nation in which only the government would have arms, and the sanctity of one’s home might be intruded upon by imperious fiat. How is it that such thinking might be found upon revolutionary trails running from Ticonderoga to Saratoga? These thoughts are more in tune with an eastern European legal system where, unless something is permitted, it is not allowed. They have no place within the western legal system, confirmed by our Constitution, where everything is allowed unless it is prohibited. The Constitution guaranties that the enumerated rights and liberties allowed among free men might not be denied to them by their government. Yet these thinkers would contend that those rights do not exist unless permitted by the government in the first instance, so that the government might also prohibit them at its will. To such thinkers, there is no “proper cause” for the possession of concealed firearms, because the cause of life and liberty is not permitted. There is no right to privacy, because a free man is not permitted the sanctity of his home, let alone his person. The people of Warren County do not often get such Ò inside the mind” civic lessons, and one might wonder what might be learned from them. If nothing more, perhaps they will search their own minds for the lessons of their Adirondack schooling. Perhaps they will recognize how fragile their rights and liberties are against those who would confound and obfuscate, who would prohibit when freedom would allow. Edward Pontacoloni Lake George
have taken to cover the cost of the time spent working on this story yet the educational value to the reporters, the opportunity to be a part of a major news event and what this experience meant to them is something you could not put a value on. My father was a hard working, wise man. In addition to understanding the value of money he also taught me the value of hard work and creating my own opportunities. The President’s proposal will do little to advance the work ethic or increase wages for the American worker. You can’t legislate economic growth with a pen. You stimulate the economy through the free flow of hard work, creativity and competition. It’s how the country was built and it’s the only way it will continue to thrive.

How’s the weather?
W
hen we can’t think of anything else to jaw about, the weather is always a good topic. “Nice day,” we say when we meet a friend in the post office. They either agree or they don’t. I guess I’m one of those people with a malleable mindset. If it’s sunny and warm, Kaye and I get outside. If it’s miserable, we sit on our deck with a cup of Joe and watch the world along by Gordie Little the Saranac River. We’ve had more than our fair share of rain this year. The riverbank and lawns are verdant and lush. The garden veggies and flowers are finally thriving without having to unreel the water hose to give them constant squirts. Greenery between our back fence and the river grew so fast and furious that I once again risked life and limb to chop it down after it began to obstruct our view. I did it when Kaye was at her exercise class so she wouldn’t fret. She has good reason. Those river bank rocks have been treacherous and I am not without the scars to prove it. There’s an old North Country saying: “If you don’t like the weather, just wait a minute.” That has certainly been true this year. 80s one day and 50s the next. I’m always up by around 5 a.m. and Kaye is not far behind. Our steaming cups of coffee are sipped as we drink in the splendor supplied by Mother Nature. Flora and fauna everywhere you look. The Great Blue Heron (we call it “Big Bird”), ducks and geese, ospreys and a plethora of smaller winged creatures that please our eyes and ears. Of course woodchucks, raccoons, rabbits, mink, skunks and miscellaneous other critters add to the mix and often the grief. We love to hear the first birdsong of the day, offered by an overzealous robin on the lawn beneath our bedroom window. We recognize the chirps, warbles and whistles of many birds and love the cacophony their calls provide. Cardinals are favorites, along with the delicate and lovely hummingbirds. Who needs an alarm clock? I’ve become a bit of a slave to my laptop. I combine the natural world with the digital world that comes from the ethers. Lots of people tell me they look for my little weather blurb first thing each morning. It might read: “59.4 degrees, tiny breeze at 2 mph, partly sunny skies over the river at 5:07 a.m.” The responses from hither and thither are almost instantaneous: “76 over the peaches” comes one report from Georgia. “56 in Redford” comes another. One fine person even gives me the temperature from a thermometer mounted on the spare tire of her camper. Somebody mentioned the name of Bird Berdan the other day. He was the weatherman on a local television station long before the digital age. He used a chalk board to draw storm clouds and didn’t know all the proper meteorological terms, but he endeared himself by being down to earth and humble. One cold early winter day, he said, “There is a slight chance of snow flurries this evening.” The phone at the studios began to ring. He answered it during a commercial break. A woman’s voice chided: “Just thought you’d like to know that I have 6 inches of those snow flurries on my back stoop.” Bird loved that story and so did I. At our “Little” house on the river, we’re less controlled by the whims of the weather man (or woman) than farmers and construction friends. That’s where the phrase “make hay when the sun shines” originated. On bad days, Kaye and I make lemonade out of lemons and sing songs together when the rain falls on our tin roof. Who cares that we might be a tad off key? My late mother loved thunderstorms and we often walked together laughing as the rain pelted our slickers and sloshed on our galoshes. She used to say, “Whether the weather be cold or whether the weather be hot; whether the weather be cloudy or whether the weather be not; we’ll weather the weather, whatever the weather, whether we like it or not.” Columnist Gordie Little is a weekly contributor to Denton Publications.

Get out ... and stay out!
F
or people who haven’t been paying attention, it’s time to get outside. The summer season is already three weeks gone , and you need to take stock. Have you been out for a hike yet? No? How about fishing, paddling, biking, swimming or simply sitting by a lake and enjoying a sunset. Have you enjoyed a sunset, a starry night or the evening stars. In the Adirondacks, summer is the most fleeting of all seasons. It flies by in a condensed fashion, wedged in somewhere between High School graduation and Labor Day, which arrives on Monday, September 7th. The summer season is tucked into a time-span of roughly, 58 days, but who’s counting? At this time of year, the calendar simply doesn’t much matter. As a youngster, my internal calendar was calibrated according to the school calendar until I graduated college. As an adult, it eventually returned to a scholastic calendar as it revolved around our children’s activities. It remained on a scholastic calendar status, until their college years were completed. Fortunately, I managed to maintain an internal, natural calendar throughout the entire ordeal, adjusting with the seasons according to the availability of outdoor pursuits such as skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing, trout fishing, hiking, skiing, hunting (grouse, deer, turkey, goose, rabbits, etc.) whitewater and flat water paddling seasons, biking, and of course, the camping season which is available all year round. Despite the brevity of Adirondack summers, I’ve always had enough activities to keep me occupied and out of trouble, for the most part. Apparently, it is no longer the case in many places, both rural and urban Recently, after reading research studies featured on the Child & Nature Network, I was disturbed to discover just how far modern society has retreated from the woods and waters. The findings are surprising and revealing. I’ve listed a few below. On the downside: In the span of a generation, children’s use of space has changed from being primarily outdoors to indoors. It has also become increasingly adult supervised. Children today are taller, heavier, larger, and weaker than in

1981. Young children are growing up in a media-saturated environment, and they spend less time playing outdoors than their parents did when they were young. Traditional outdoor activities have largely been replaced by electronic entertainment. Conversely, nearby nature boosts children’s attentional functioning and access to parks and recreation programs can decrease the risk of being overweight or obese at age 18. Nearby nature reduces stress in children, and living within half a mile of a park may lower a child’s risk of being overweight or obese by more than half. Outdoor learning improves long-term memory of course content and increases positive student attitudes. Natural schoolyards decrease stress, strengthen attention, reduce behavior problems, and enhance factors associated with resilience in children of all ages. Youth report feelings of calm and peace associated with spending time in healthy outdoor environments. Older children who spend more time outside tend to be more physically active and are less likely to be overweight Children’s time playing in nature and vegetation surrounding their home has a positive effect on their behavior and reduces attributes of ADHD. Nature immersion enhances creative thinking and problem solving in adults. Outdoor play nurtures creative thinking in nursery school. Children’s connection to nature influences their interest in participating in nature-based activities and performing environmentally friendly behaviors. Direct childhood experiences and mentoring are key elements in adults’ actions to benefit the environment. Adolescents experience positive emotional change after spending time in an outdoor educational setting. Access to parks and recreation programs decrease risk of being overweight or obese at age 18. Living within half a mile of a park may lower a child’s risk of being overweight or obese by more than half. Outdoor learning improves long-term memory of course content and increases positive student attitudes, and youth report feelings of calm and peace associated with spending time in healthy outdoor environments. The research didn’t actually reveal anything new, as a pair of old school, outdoor travelers first revealed such truths more than a half century ago when they claimed, “I never met a human being whose humor was not the better for a walk.” –The Joy of Walking, April 1942 and, “Town makes men contentious; the country smooths out their souls.” – The Gentle Art of Tramping, 1926

The Priory’s annual garage sale expected to attract 3,000+ By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — Motorists who drive up Priory Road Saturday July 18 precisely at 9 a.m. may see an unusual spectacle Ñ several hundred people simultaneously dashing up a driveway to browse through thousands of items at a yard sale. The mad rush will be to be the first to select items offered in The Priory retreat house’s 27th annual Giant Garage Sale, set for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. both Saturday July 18 and Sunday July 19. Featuring high-quality goods, the event annually attracts several thousand people Ñ many from hundreds of miles away. The Priory’s 2015 sale includes a wide range of items including antiques, collectibles, estate furniture and jewelry, household goods, tools, electronics, doll and glassware collections, gently-used clothing, books, sporting goods and other wares that have been donated by fans of the renowned retreat. Event co-chair Lynne Shepherd of Chestertown said this week that the sale will be featuring a greater selection of antiques than in prior years, due to generous donations to The Priory. One of the unusual antiques is a pump organ,

she said. Ten days before the sale, an array of estate furniture to be in the sale was occupying two large commercial storage units to capacity, she said. The sale, which routinely attracts 3,000 to
3,500 people, features an array of tents set up around The Priory house, each one featuring a different category of goods. The “Boutique” tent features fine collectables, new items and jewelry, Shepherd said. Ò When the sale begins, people literally stam-

Wall art to be available includes an original Cate Mandigo painting and an original Ansel Adams print, she continued. “Also, we have a lot of really good quality solid maple and solid oak furniture — things you don’t see manufactured these days,” Shepherd said. Those spending hours perusing all the items at the sale won’t go hungry — the renowned local restaurant O.P. Fredericks will be operating a food concession on site. Shepherd said that dozens of volunteers have worked many hours to prepare the array of items for sale, which has become an annual tradition for many people, some who live hundreds of miles away. Ò We have heard that some families from Long Island and New Jersey schedule their vacation plans around our garage sale so they can attend,” she said. For more information on The Priory and its programs as well as the garage sale, call Connie Messitt at 494-3733 or see: www.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.

Turning Back the Pages By Jean Hadden Reader impute
I recently had an enjoyable conversation with my friend, noted Chestertown historian Arthur Moffitt, and he presented me with an intriguing mystery. Arthur borrowed a book from the Richards Library, in Warrensburg, entitled, “One Man’s Pleasure,” by Hugh Fosburg. The late author, from New York City, was a wealthy part owner in the North Woods Club. On page 68 in his book, Mr. Fosburg referred to a rowdy saloon and dance hall in the Adirondacks called the “Cow Palace.” This popular night spot was operated by Billy Rollo, a hunchback, probably around the years 1957 to 1960. Arthur felt that it might have been located possibly somewhere near North Creek and Minerva but he does not know this for sure. The title could have been a nickname for a more fancy title. A place that came to mind to Librarian Sarah Farrar was the old “Paddock,” a popular club on the Warrensburg Fairgrounds racetrack, behind Ashe’s Hotel, that opened June 15, 1938, operated by Curtis Lansing, and was torn down in the early 1960’s. Arthur has spoken with many people, particularly members of the older generation, but he can find no one who has ever heard of the “Cow Palace.” The dates mentioned reminds me very much of the old Glen Road Inn, which in that era fit the general description. I would be happy to hear from anyone who has any thoughts on this mystery.
Fifty Years Ago – July, 1965 Porto Fino Restaurant opens
From Route 9, at the southern approach to Warrensburg village, a paved driveway winds down to the Oxbow of the Schroon River. There on the river bank is Porto Fino, restaurant and cocktail lounge, which opened Saturday, July 3, 1965. Peter Stancati is proprietor. Gene Stelling is manager. Their
speciality is continental cuisine. Pete prepares the Italian dishes, Gene the French and German, all served in an atmosphere of old world hospitality and charm. Stancati took the name for his restaurant from a famous resort on the Italian Rivera, Potofino on the Ligurian Sea. Porto Fino, which means “fine port” is a haven not only on the river Schroon, but beside that concrete and asphalt the Adirondack northway runs by its doorway. The Northway, or Interstate 87, now under construction, contributes mightily to Porto Fino’s one problem – there hasn’t been time for the grass and shrubs to grow. One can easily imagine the pleasant prospect this valley with its rustic building rising by the river, will offer next spring when the Northway is completed and the open wounds inflicted by the bulldozers have healed. In the city Peter Stancati was an engineer with Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corp., at Bethpage, Long Island and Gene Stelling, his right hand man was a branch manager of a brokerage firm on Wall Street. Behind the bar a large picture window opens on the Oxbow of the Schroon, of which there will be a magnificent view of when the last of the bulldozers have gone. Stancati built the enormous stone fireplace in the restaurant with his own hands. “We’ll have music,” Stancati said, “A stereo will play dinner music.” Patrons are urged to try the famous spaghettini zingarell with clam sauce, with tossed salad and homemade bread, all for $1.75 per person. (Note – Today, fifty years later, the former old Porto Fino is part of Lazy River Farms Garden Center, 3620 Route 9, just north of the Warrensburg Northway exit on the Lake George south side of the Schroon River.)
New A&P store to open
Construction on a shopping center on Main Street and Richards Avenue, Warrensburg will begin before Aug. 1, 1965 it was announced by Ralph T. Carpenter, president of the Willow Brook
Reality Co., Inc. The center will include an A&P supermarket about 80 by 100 feet and a building 60 by 100 feet available for several stores. Mark Bruce sold the property to Willow Brook and the A&P signed a rental agreement with them on June 29, 1965. The buildings will sit well back from Main Street, thus allowing space for more than 100 automobiles to park. Shoppers will be able to enter either from Richards Avenue or Main Street. Former Warrensburg News Editor Paul Bosse said that he thought it would be nice if a foot or two of ground was left uncovered with blacktop and room was allowed for a couple of trees. The old Post Office building, at present occupied by the Warrensburg – Lake George News, will be razed. (Note – Paul Bosse owned the newspaper from 1938 to 1958. This building was later occupied by the Warrensburg Health Center and was torn down in the spring of 2015 to make way for their new facility parking lot.)
Lake George night life
The world-renowned entertainer Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong and his revue were featured in a special one-night performance on Tuesday, July 6, 1965 at the Mount Royal Restaurant, Lake George Road. He is now 65 years old and still going strong. (Note – One of my fondest memories was the time Louie Armstrong smiled at me! In a packed dance hall at Lake Bomoseen, Vermont, on a Saturday date night, when I was a teenager in high school, he was on stage playing his trumpet and when he finished, he wiped his face with his handkerchief, smiled down at me and shook his head as if to say, “Wow! It is hot in here.” He was a legend in his own time.) CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Rangers and volunteers doggedly have kept up their fight against seven forest fires in this area throughout the first week of July, 1965. The most spectacular fire broke out on Friday, June 26, 1965 on the east slope of Prospect Mountain. Hundreds of Lake George tourists got a free show as they lined up on sidewalks in the village. The fires were presumably ignited by lightening.

Fireworks
From page 1 sumer fireworks this year than in preceding years. Several months ago, Warren County leaders approved allowing the sale of ground-based fireworks in the county. Warren County Fire Coordinator Brian LaFlure and other area fire officials said this week that county leaders are likely to be discussing whether to repeal the law, based on low-level fireworks’ potential to compromise public safety. This spring, LaFlure had campaigned against the local law to allow consumer fireworks, citing the injuries and property loss they cause with improper use. Tuesday afternoon, a Cohoes man was ticketed after spent fireworks he discarded into his pickup truck bed rekindled, igniting other adjacent fully charged fireworks, leading to a blaze that caused significant damage to the vehicle. After bystanders were unable to extinguish the fire, Horicon firefighters were called to the scene and they extinguished the blaze.
70th anniversary From page 1
Frank said. “If a girl and a boy were going together it was the fad for them to wear the same style and color tie. It soon became known throughout the entire school of about 1200 students that we were going together since we often wore those ties.” After high school, however, the couple were separated by an all-too-common hindrance of the era Ñ W orld War II. Before graduation, Frank enrolled in an Army Air Corps cadet program, which allowed him to finish his senior year before he was sworn in. He passed all his exams and was accepted, and by July 1, 1943 Frank shipped off to basic training, where Fran wrote him every day. In Aug. 1944, Frank was commissioned a second lieutenant and got his wings as an Army Air Force Navigator. Frank was given a short leave after graduation, during which time he and Fran became engaged. He was stationed with the eighth AF in England in the 446th Bombardment Group and flew ten combat missions over Germany in a B 24. When the war ended in Europe, Frank returned to the states to be married. Frank was so “pumped” to make Fran his wife that he navigated all through the night while everyone else on board was asleep — even the pilot. Frank used the bomb sight to make corrections

Several weeks ago a home in Kingsbury was heavily damaged after a person disposed of fireworks in a trash can in his garage, fire officials said. In battling the blaze, one firefighter was injured and treated at an area hospital. In April, Warren County leaders approved a law that allowed consumer fireworks — like sparklers, fountains and poppers — to be sold in the county for the first time in many decades. LaFlure and other area fire officials campaigned against the law that allows the sale of low-level fireworks during specific time periods: from June 1 to July 5 and between Dec. 26 and Jan. 2. In opposing the law, LaFlure had warned that 9,600 people in the U.S. each year are treated in emergency medical centers due to fireworks injuries. Queensbury Supervisor Rachel Seeber has lobbied for safety information to be handed out to those purchasing fireworks, which were sold locally this year in supermarkets, large retail outlets and convenience stores. Lake George Town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson said that some of the local fireworks vendors had indeed been handing out the safety information, but that many people apparently
weren’t reading it. He said that over the July Fourth weekend he was stopped in traffic in the village and fireworks were thrown on the ground near his car, startling drivers nearby. He also said that he witnessed a number of incidents in which very young children were cavorting unsupervised with lit sparklers — which can burn at temperatures from 1,000 to 3,000 degrees centigrade and cause serious burns. “My issue with fireworks is the danger to little kids if they are inadequately supervised,” he said. “I’ve seen very young children carrying sparklers, including some getting a face-full of sparks. It’s crazy, it’s unbelievable what some parents allow.” The county’s Legislative & Rules Committee is expected to soon discuss the issue of fireworks safety and consider amendments to the new fireworks sale law — or repealing it altogether. The next meeting of the committee is to occur in early August. Dickinson said he would continue to oppose legalization of fireworks sales in Warren County. “I voted against the law recently, and I will vote against it again,” he said. “ Why do we need this?”
in auto-pilot while he slept. “I knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep anyway,” Frank recalled. “So why not keep going?” He even convinced his crew to forgo an overnight stay in Greenland when they stopped to refuel so he could see his beloved as soon as he possibly could. The Casazza’s were wed on July 1, 1945, when Frank was on a 30-day leave before leaving for training to transition from the European theater to the Pacific, where he was on assignment to bomb Japan. “Fran made all the arrangements for the wedding, in every detail,” Frank recalled. “All I did was walk up to the altar.” The Casazzas spent their honeymoon at Glenbernie on Lake George. Now that they were husband and wife, Fran could accompany Frank at all of his assigned bases while he prepared to ship out for Japan. Luckily for them both, however, Frank’s second overseas deployment never came. America dropped the atomic bomb on Japan, and on Aug. 14, 1945, the war was over. The Casazzas then began what they call a three-month honeymoon, while Frank was waiting to be discharged from active duty. “All I had to do was call in every day and the rest of the day was free time,” Frank recalled. “We were on a base in San Marcos, Texas which was near San Antonio, so we went there often, had picnics in Brackenridge Park, ate ice cold watermelon from the
push carts in the park, went to dances at the officer’s club, often ate dinner there as well, we swam in the crystal clear waters of the San Marcos river — we were having a ball.” The Casazzas returned to New Jersey, where Frank attended Newark College of Engineering under the GI bill. They had their first child, Karen, on Aug. 30, 1946, and moved from Fran’s parents’ house into their own apartment and began their lives as a young family. They had another child, Michael, on Sept. 1, 1959, and have since become grandparents to Debbie, Sean and Kristyn. As Frank worked his way up the corporate ladder at Universal Manufacturing Corporation, the family bought a summer camp on Indian Lake in 1968, which they winterized and converted into their primary residence in 1987. Frank and Fran designed their new home themselves, and Frank did most of the construction from a scale model they built together. On April 15 Frank turned 90 and Fran 89 on April 20, but age has not slowed them down, as both remain active members of the Indian Lake community. The only thing the couple would change about their lives, they said is to be closer to their children, who live in Florida and California. With 70 years in the books, the couple look forward to the coming years together. “We feel so blessed,” they agreed.
