Gov. announces next step in invasive species prevention plan By Ryan Edwards

ryan@denpubs.com LAKE  GEORGE — In  keeping  with  Invasive  Species  Week  (July 12-18), Gov. Cuomo announced on Tuesday the opening of  12  new  boat  decontamination  stations  as  a  part  of  a  park-wide  invasive species prevention program. The  program  is  the  result  of  an  agreement  reached  among  more than 60 conservation groups, owners associations, and local  and  state  governments  in  March  to  work  in  concert  to  help  preserve clean water, increase recreation opportunities and promote tourism. Now  41  boat  launches  in  the  region  will  host  boat  stewards  who  will  show  arriving  boaters  the  signs  of  possible  invasive  threats on their boats and trailers, and at these new decontamination stations boat stewards will use high pressure, hot water  decontamination units to clean boats that have not been cleaned  and drained. Boater participation is voluntary yet strongly encouraged by  state officials. A similar program has existed on Lake George for seven years,  funded  by  the  New  York  State  Environmental  Protection  Fund  and local municipalities such as the Lake George Association. This program employs a number of stewards at various boat  launches on the lake, whose collective goal is to decontaminate  boats  and  educate  the  boating  public  on  proper  invasives  prevention. Unlike the park-wide program, the Lake George program be-

came mandatory last year, when the reigns were handed over to  the  Lake  George  Park  Commission,  who  have  the  enforcement  authority on the lake. Over the course of that year, the LGPA inspected over 20,000  boats and trailers, decontaminated more than 1,200, and caught  165 identified invasives before they could enter the lake. According to C. Walter Lender, the Executive Director of the  LGA, these numbers have remained about the same since the introduction  of  the  program,  proving  to  prevent  any  increase  in  harmful invasive species to Lake George. “It is a very effective program, and very well received by the  boating public,” Lender said. The program is effective because it is flexible, Lender said, as it  is designed to simultaneously accommodate boaters and protect  the lake. “We  made  it  very  east  for  the  boating  public  —  no  lines,  no  backup, and with flexible hours,” he said. Lender said he is pleased to see the system go park-wide, and  hopes to see it expand in the coming years to better protect lakes  in the park and throughout the state.

Boating precautions

Akin to the existing Lake George program, the park-wide initiative urges boaters to follow the clean, drain and dry standard: •Clean  boats,  trailers  and  equipment  of  any  debris,  and  dispose of it in an upland area or receptacle provided for this purpose.

•Drain  the  boat  completely,  including  bilge  areas,  live  wells  and bait wells. Waterski and wakeboard boat operators should be sure to drain all ballast tanks. Many aquatic invasive species can survive in as little as a drop of water, so it is imperative that  all water is removed.  •Dry all equipment for at least five days before using it in another water body. Longer drying times may be required for difficult to dry equipment or during damp or cool periods. Drying  is the simplest and most effective way to ensure equipment does  not transport plants or animals.

Why it matters

In  addition  to  their  harmful  effects  on  the  environment,  recreational opportunities, and human health and safety,  a recent  study  by  the  Adirondack  Park  Invasive  Plant  Program  found  that if invasive species are allowed to spread, they could cost the  Adirondack economy up to $900 million.  This  figure  includes  annual  losses  in  visitor  spending,    agriculture and primary forest production value as well as losses in  property value that will affect the tax base and borrowing ability  for property owners on an ongoing basis. “Preventing the spread of invasive species in our Adirondack  waterways is vital to preserving the natural treasures of this region and ensuring it remains a major economic asset,” Governor  Cuomo said. “Through a proactive campaign we are getting experts  and  the  public  involved  so  everyone  can  do  their  part  to  keep the Adirondacks pristine and enjoyable for years to come.”

Headwaters battles teen depression, other preventable ER visits By Ryan Edwards

ryan@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Hudson  Headwaters  Health  Network  recently  became  one  of  six  grantees  in  five  states  to  receive  a  $150,000 grant from the RCHN Community Health Foundation  to develop and launch a program designed to combat preventable pediatric emergency room visits. According to data acquired by the HHHN staff, the top three  causes for pediatric ER visits are sthma or other respiratory ailments,  injury,  or  behavioral  health,  including  depression  and  suicide risk. Two-thirds of these problems, they say, are preventable. In  order  to  decrease  the  number  of  visits  related  to  these  issues, HHHN plan to use these grant funds to establish and implement a population health focused program. HHHN will partner with Glen Falls Hospital and the Adirondack Health Institute on the initiative, which is formally called  “Improving Regional Pediatric Care Management to Reduce ER  Utilization.Ó “There  are  lots  of  initiatives  to  reduce  hospital  admissions  among  adults,  but  nothing  in  our  area  addressed  the  needs  of  children,”  said  Cyndi  Nassivera-Reynolds,  Hudson  Headwater’s vice president of transformation and clinical quality. “And  when  it  comes  to  children,  the  approach  to  care  must  consider  the family and environmental factors that might underlie or exacerbate certain health conditions.Ó The three main issues HHHN the program is designed to target correspond to three age-specific groups: For the youngest age group — newborn to 9 — most ER visits  were due to asthma, croup, or other respiratory ailments.  For children ages 10 to 13, the majority of ER visits were the  result of injuries that could have been handled in primary care

or urgent care centers. For  teenagers,  an  overwhelming  majority  of  ER  visits  were  due to depression, anxiety or substance abuse. A portion of these funds will be designated to address each of  these issues individually: For the youngest group, HHHN will now offer an in-house allergist to determine the root causes of respiratory difficulties, as  well as a patient educator to work with families to better understand the importance medication maintenance to prevent asthma  attacks. For  the  middle  age  group,  HHHN  plans  to  educate  families   about alternatives to the ER for non-critical injuries. As  Surveys  of  teenagers  by  county  health  departments  are  showing  growing  rates  of  depression  and  suicide  ideation,  the  third age group will require some serious attention, HHHN staff  say. “The  leading  cause  of  hospital  admissions  among  teenagers  in our area is suicide risk,” said Hudson Headwater’s CEO John  Rugge, MD. “And a large portion of emergency department visits by teenagers — nearly one quarter — are made by six percent  of  these  teens  for  reasons  related  to  depression  or  behavioral  health. We need to do a better job of reaching them.” In order to accomplish this, HHHN will hire a new pediatrician  —  an  expert  in  technology  and  data  analysis  —  who  will  work  with  other  key  staff  to  develop  a  pediatric  care  management system. The  new  system  will  facilitate  the  integration  of  behavioral  health and primary pediatric care to better reach and support high-risk teens, essentially a pediatric health home model. “A  critical  part  of  improving  our  nation’s  health  is  to  more  effectively  reach  and  care  for  those  who  are  most  vulnerable,  and children and high risk teens are at the top of that list,” said  Feygele  Jacobs,  president  and  CEO  of  the  RCHN  Community  Health Foundation (RCHN CHF). Ò Our foundation is pleased to

support innovative projects to improve the health of vulnerable  populations and share lessons learned on how to deliver health  care that works better for children, families, and our communities.Ó The other six projects awarded these grants include initiatives  to reduce smoking among Asian Americans by Charles B. Wang  Community Health Center, New York, NY; reduce diabetes-related emergencies by ACCESS Family Care, Neosho, MO; improve  colon  cancer  screening  rates  by  Adelante  Healthcare,  Phoenix,  AZ; improve cervical cancer screening rates in health center communities by Colorado Community Health Network, Denver, CO;  and establish a medical home for the homeless by Santa Rosa Community Health Centers, Santa Rosa, CA.

keith@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — It’s  a  tradition  as  old  as  the  idea  of  racing  and  rallying  to  help  end  the  fight against breast cancer. The 20th annual Rally for a Cure golf tournament  at  Cronin’s  Golf  Resort  Saturday,  July  18,  is one of only 19 events in the nation that got it’s  start the same year as the Susan G. Komen Foundation and continued to this day. In  an  opening  ceremony  shortly  before  the  8:30 a.m. tee time, the group will be honored by  a representative from Komen, who will present  an award to the organizers. “This is a special time for us,” Heather White  with Rally for a Cure said. “To be one of the 49  events  throughout  the  country  that  have  been  going  on  since  it  first  started  is  a  great  accomplishment.Ó Over the 20 years, the tournament has gained  national recognition. “We had a feature story about the event in Golf Digest  over  the  winter,”  White  said.  “We  were  also awarded the first prize in a Rally for a Cure  photo  contest  for  having  all  the  participants  form a breast cancer ribbon.Ó Since 1996, Rally events have  engaged over 2.5 million people  in  the  fight  against  breast  cancer,  generating  more  than $77  million through fundraising activities for Susan G. Komen. “We  are  so  grateful  for  Rally’s  20  years  of  support,”  said  Nancy G. Brinker, founder and  chair of global strategy at Susan  G.  Komen.  “This  partnership,  all  the  volunteers  who  have  hosted events, and the millions  of people who have been Rally  participants,  have  been  instrumental in our mission to end breast cancer forever.” Cronin’s has 128 participants  annually registered for the Rally event which includes a light  breakfast,  18  hole  golf  tourna-

Echo Lake town park enhanced, town hall upgrades sought By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Long a summertime destination for both  local residents and area visitors, the town of Warrensburg’s park  at Echo Lake is quite popular this summer after recent upgrades,  town officials said this week. The park was upgraded this year to include a children’s playground — which includes a jungle gym, a teeter-totter, swings,  and several rides, two volleyball courts, and a tether-ball setup,  Warrensburg  Town  Supervisor  Kevin  Geraghty  told  the  town  board at their July meeting.   The  park  also  features  an  upgraded  pavilion,  picnic  tables,  a  half-dozen  new  barbecue  grills,  one  large  grill,  and  freshlypainted rest rooms. Situated beside the parking lot for Echo Lake  Beach, the park is shaded by towering evergreen trees. Access to the beach has been widened to better accommodate  emergency  vehicles,  Geraghty  said.  Handrails  down  the  trail  to the beach have been installed, and the changing room at the  beach has been painted, he said. Grant  money  for  the  improvements  were  obtained  by  the  Healthy  Places  to  Live,  Work  &  Play  program  of  Glens  Falls  Hospital.  Facilitating  the  project  were  Healthy  Places  program  director  Kathy  Varney,  Warrensburg  Town  Bookkeeper  and  grants writer Patty Monahan, Chris Belden and Patti Corlew of  the town planning office, as well as town employees that accomplished the work.

Speed limit lowered on busy road

Also at the July 8 meeting, Geraghty noted that state officials  had  approved a  new, lowered speed limit  of  45 miles  per  hour  rather than 55 mph along Schroon River Road from the Warrensburg High School north to County Home Bridge Road. The  reduction  was  prompted  by  a  request  by  Ed  Zibro,  organizer  of  the  Warrensburg  Bike  Rally  held  at  the  county  fairgrounds  on  Schroon  River  Road.  Geraghty  said  that  Zibro  ob-

served during this year’s rally that speed along the roadway was  excessive. The change is effective as soon as county officials erect  new speed-limit signs.

New trolley schedule detailed

Also, Geraghty noted that the Warrensburg, for the first time  in  many  decades,  now  has  public  transportation  services  with  the introduction of the tourist shuttle from Lake George to Thurman.  The  run  originates  in  Glens  Falls,  travels  through  Lake  George and stops in Warrensburg on its way to Thurman Station,  to meet the Saratoga-North Creek Railway’s new North End Local service. Offered  on  weekends,  the  passenger  service  extends  from  Thurman  Station  to  North  Creek.  The  trolley  brings  tourists  to  the trail on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through the summer  months. The trolley leaves Lake George Steel Pier daily at 9 a.m., stops  at  Richards  Ave.  in  downtown  Warrensburg  at  9:10  a.m.  and  arrives  at  Thurman  station,  where  the  train  departs  for  North

Creek at 10 a.m.. The trolley then stops again at Richards Ave. at  9:35, returning to the Steel Pier at 9:50 a.m. Another run trolley  run leaves the Steel Pier at 12:30 p.m., and stops in Warrensburg  at  12:40  p.m,  arriving  at  Thurman  Station  at  12:50  p.m.  to  pick  up passengers headed back from North Creek. That return trip   stops in Warrensburg at 1:05 p.m. on its way to Lake George. A second afternoon round trip is conducted beginning at 3:30  p.m.  at  the  Steel  Pier,  stopping  in  Warrensburg  at  3:40  p.m.  on  its way to Thurman Station at 3:50 p.m., passing again through  Warrensburg at 4:05 p.m. Geraghty  also  announced  that  new  sidewalks  are  to  be  constructed  son  on  Sanford  St.,  James  St.,  Ashe  Drive  and  Woodward Ave., as well as on a portion of Elm St. Bankrolled  primarily  by  federal  grants,  the  work  is  to  begin  July 20.

New roof, windows sought for town hall

The town board also voted to solicit bids for upgrades to the  town  hall  —  a  new Adirondack-green  metal  roof,  new  energyefficient  windows  and  upgraded  insulation.  Geraghty  said  the  existing windows wasted energy and the roof has been leaking  recently. Bids for the project are to be opened on July 29. Also,  the  board  voted  to  purchase  two  used  sand  filters  for  the  town  sewer  plant  at  a  cost  of  $9,999  each.  They  also  voted  to sell miscellaneous outdated town computer equipment at the upcoming Smoke Eaters’ Jamboree auction. Proceeds will be returned to the town general fund. Also,  Geraghty  reported  that  plans  call  for  moving  fire  and  emergency  communications  transmitters  from  their  traditional  location  at  the  county  Public  Works  garage  to  the  town  water  tower  off Maggie’s Road.  The change is to  improve emergency  radio coverage in the region. The board members also talked about progress in plans for the  park at the site of the former Warrensburg Board & Paper manufacturing  plant  on  the  Schroon  River.  The  town  is  applying  for  a $416,000 grant to fund development of a park with a gazebo,  river walk and outlook, a picnic area and a boat launch.

Editorial

Protest an exercise in futility

A

horde of activists descended on several  Champlain  Valley  communities  last  week  to  protest  the  ongoing  oil  train traffi c through the region.  They occupied construction sites and chained  themselves  to  equipment  in  Vermont  and blocked traffi c in Ticonderoga. The  protests,  which  drew  around  100  demonstrators, were held in conjunction with others  across  the  country  as  part  of  a  week  long  campaign  coordinated  to  commemorate  the  second anniversary of the Lac-Megantic disaster,  which  killed  47  people  after  an  oil  tanker  became untethered and blew up part of a Canadian town. These  patchouli-scented  protesters,  including  many  from  the  self-admitted  extremist  radical organization Earth First!, called for the  immediate end of oil transport through the region. While  we  can  fi nd  common  ground  with  their  underlying  sentiment  —  the  4,000  percent  increase  in  traffi c  through  our  communities over the past six years is certainly cause for  alarm — we fi nd their methods counterproductive. This is nothing but an attention grab from a  group of disconnected extremists with a proven track record of spiteful sabotage. Like the Occupy Wall Street movement, their  actions are designed more to stroke their own  egos than moving the needle forward on public  policy. In  fact,  this  group  has  had  a  net  negative  effect with their actions by forcing local emergency  service  providers  and  law  enforcement  offi cials  to  expend  their  valuable  resources  to  monitor what amounted to a temper tantrum. Across the lake in Vergennes, fi refi ghters had  to extract an activist who chained himself to a  natural  gas  truck  on  its  way  to  International  Paper in Ticonderoga.  Not only was this wildly irresponsible, it was  also ignorant considering natural gas is a cleaner alternative to fuel oil, the usage of which at  IP is widely supported by green groups. It  was  also  dangerous  considering  its  cargo  was full of fl ammable material. Authorities had to use power tools to extract  the irresponsible extremist, a measure that very  well could have led to Lac-Megantic, Part Deux  without the proper training.  These  are  the  very  same  fi rst  responders  who would respond to a possible rail disaster,  putting  life  and  limb  at  risk  while  working  to  quench a lake of fi re.

And they’re understaffed across the board.  Departments in many of the Champlain Valley  communities  dotted  along  these  railways  are in crisis. A  pair  of  listening  sessions  to  discuss  the  problems facing the Elizabethtown-Lewis Ambulance Squad earlier this month, for instance,  drew only three people. Willsboro and Essex offi cials have said their  squads will fl atline without a massive restructuring.  The  common  refrain  in  Keene  Valley  is  Ò What if no one came?Ó And  Crown  Point,  one  of  the  communities  located along the railway, doesn’t even have an  ambulance squad anymore. They  closed  six  months  ago  because  they  couldn’t fi nd a medical director.  Not only are fewer and fewer people stepping forward to volunteer for these local agencies, but departments are scrambling to afford  the equipment that will keep our people safe in  the  event  disaster  does  strike,  from  the  expensive  foam  used  to  quell  oil-fueled  fi res  to  the ambulances that will transport our injured heroes to hospitals. In all, nearly a dozen state and local agencies  responded on both sides of the lake last week to tend to the protestors. It wasnÕ t free. As these extremists did victory laps for their  tantrums, our men and women in uniform quietly went on to their next assignment.  As  if  their  publicity  stunt  wasn’t  enough,  these groups are now asking the community to  foot their legal bills.  Here’s an idea:  How  about  these  agencies  stick  them  with  the  bill  for  the  equipment  repairs  and  overtime? That would be the sensible thing to do.  We  agree  that  oil  by  rail  poses  a  signifi cant  threat to our lakefront communities. But we also feel confi dent that the persistent  pressure  that  our  elected  offi cials,  including  Sen. Chuck Schumer and Gov. Andrew Cuomo,  continue to apply to both the railway industry and federal and state regulators, progress is being  made  on  ensuring  the  safety  of  our  communities. Protests are fi ne. But when they do nothing  but  stretch  the  resources  of  our  hardworking  agencies, perhaps it’s time to not put earth fi rst,  but rather your fellow citizens.

Problem with rising tide

Hang onto your firearms and pray

To the Editor:

To the Editor:

In  their  editorial  “A  Rising  Tide  Lifts  All  Boats,”  Dan  Alexander,  Keith  Lobdell  and  John  Gereau  sound  like  ignorant  politicians  running for public offi ce instead of intelligent news analysts.  Keeping  in  mind  that  it  takes  no  credentials  to  be  a  politician,  I  would  expect  something  more  informed  from  educated  newspapermen. As sad as it is, most low-wage employees are so because they just  don’t have many marketable  skills.  There  are  hordes  of  uneducated,  illiterate employees nationwide demanding that the government take  care of them by mandating a high minimum wage. The situation has  been  totally  politicized  by  the  Obama  administration’s  pandering  to  its allies, especially the SEIU.   I have repeatedly stated before in letters to this newspaper: It is not  the duty of American businesses to provide a living wage for low skill  employees. The reason that low-wage employees can not earn a living wage is  because of negligent mismanagement of the economy by government  -- at all levels -- over the years by uncredentialed, incompetent politicians who have allowed the cost of living to be determined by political  contributors instead of any kind of supply and demand. Instead of minimum wage-pandering by minimal-intelligence politicians,  low  marketability  persons  need  help  to  acquire  better  work  skills through better education.  Unfortunately, the dumbing down of  the U.S. education system by the same incompetent politicians makes this  almost  impossible.  Schools  used  to  teach  reading,  writing  and  arithmetic. Now they teach “free Willie,” “Save the whales,” “Sue your  employerÓ and so on. The irony is that freeing Willie and saving whales requires a scientifi c knowledge of reading, writing and arithmetic!  If the benefi ts of a high minimum wage for unqualifi ed employees  are  so  great,  why  not  raise  the  minimum  to,  say,  $100  an  hour?    Or,  even better, $500 or more, an hour.  Or, why not pay them as much as  professional baseball players? That would really raise the tide!

Ballots

From page 1 for a hearing on their respective petition issues. They also have the  opportunity to fi le as candidates on an independent ballot line in the  November election. The  following  candidates  have  fi led  petitions  in  Warren  County  for offi ces subject to election this fall (non-contested elections at this  point are excluded): For Warren County Family Court Judge (the countyÕ s new second judge),  two  Republican  candidates  will  be    seeking  their  party  endorsement in the Sept. 10 Primary election:  Paulette M. Kershko  and  Daniel J. Mannix. Regardless of who wins the Primary, Kershko also  will be on the Nov. 3 ballot on the Conservative Party and Independence Party lines. Joining the race in the November General Election  will  be  Rob  Smith  on  the  Democratic,  Independence  and  Working  Party lines. Incumbent Warren County Sheriff  Nathan  “Bud”  York  (Rep.,  Con., Ind.) is to be challenged in November by former Warren County  Sheriff  Larry  Cleveland  (Dem.,  Work.).  York  beat  Cleveland  in  2007  in York’s  fi rst  run  for  offi ce,  and  he’s  held  the  post  ever  since  Jan. 2008.

‘Changing of the guard’ in Chester

In the Town of Chester, two candidates will be competing in November for the Supervisor post, as long-time town CEO Fred Monroe is retiring. Running for the offi ce are Town Board member Karen  L.  DuRose  (Rep.)  and  political  newcomer  Craig  R.  Leggett  (Dem.,  Con.), a consultant for holistic farming and ranching. In Chester, there’s a four-way race for Town Clerk: competing for  the  post  are  Republicans  Mindy  Conway,  Patricia  L.  Higgins-Bollman, Cathy A. Bump, and Tanya May. Competing  for  two  seats  on  the  town  board  are  incumbents  Michael  G.  Packer  and  Stephen  Durkish,  challenged  by  political  newcomer Ava L. Ashendorff, a Tea Party organizer and broadband technology consultant. All three are Republicans. If DuRose is elected as Supervisor this November, her seat on the  town  board  will  be  vacant  as  of  Jan.  1,  and  the  board  would  then  have the opportunity to appoint a temporary replacement. This new  board  member’s  seat  would  be  up  for  election  again  in  November  2016.  Also in Chester, incumbent Superintendent of Highways Jason J.  Monroe is being challenged by Howard E. Meade. Both are Republicans.

Politics heat up in Lake George

ThereÕ s plenty of political action in Lake George this fall, precipitated primarily by controversy surrounding the relationship between  the  town  Comprehensive  Plan  Committee  and  the  town  board,  as  well as the board’s past planning board appointments. Town  of  Lake  George  Supervisor  Dennis  L.  Dickinson  (Rep.)  is  challenged  by  former  town  Planning  Board  Chairman  Keith  T.  Hanchett (Rep., Con.)   Incumbent  Lake  George  Town  Board  members  Marisa  Muratori  (Rep.)  and  Daniel  D.  Hurley  (Dem.)  are  being  challenged  by  three  Republican candidates: entrepreneur Sean Quirk, former town Code  Enforcement Offi cer Robert Hickey, and Jeffrey G. Martin.

Political challenges, U-turn in Thurman

In the town of Thurman, Incumbent Town Supervisor Evelyn M.  Wood (Rep., Dem., Con., Indc.) is challenged by present Town Clerk  Cynthia R. Hyde (Rep.). For the Thurman Town Clerk Post, former Adirondack Journal correspondent Kathy Feiden Templeton (Dem.) and Jeanie Sprague are  seeking the post

Two letters in the July 11 issue need to be addressed:  ”More  Gun  Control”  by  Jeff  Canton  in  Long  Lake  and  “Controversial Ideas of Right to Bear Arms” by Edward Pontacoloni of Lake  George.  Both were well written. Thank you guys. But you are totally missing the why of gun control.  Repeat after me: The new world order- the new world order.  Come on now, repeat it 98 more times.  The United States has an estimated 42 to 43 percent of the privately  owned fi rearms in the world. No government can force its will on a  population that is armed. That is the only reason we have the Second Amendment - to overthrow the government when they refuse  to uphold the constitution.  Look at the statue in front of the UN Building. It is a revolver with  the barrel twisted like a pretzel!  Do you think this think this just might mean something? The United  Nations stated on national TV that their goal is to got the world population down to one billion. At last count, we were over six billion. Their plans will make Hitler  look like a Sunday school teacher!  Just before Comrade Obama was elected, the UN Secretary General  asked him if he would consider becoming the First new World Order  President. He answered, “I would be honored!”  May  God  have  mercy  on  us  because  no  one  else  will.  Hang  on  to  your fi rearms and pray.

Incumbent Thurman Superintendent of Highways Patrick S. Wood  (Rep., Indc.) was challenged by John M. Haskell II (Rep.), but his petitions were ruled invalid this week. County election offi cials said his  petitions bore names of people not registered as voters, not belonging to the Republican party, or not providing an address.

Petitions nixed in Warrensburg, Stony Creek

In the Town of Warrensburg, incumbents Joyce M. Reed and Linda Baker Marcella are joined by political newcomer Bill Mahar in a race  for  two  seats.  Mahar  challenged  Marcella’s  petitions,  and  the  county election commissioners upheld his contention — the pages of  Marcella’s petitions didn’t bear page numbers. Tuesday, Marcella confi rmed that she will be circulating petitions  —  with  page  numbers  —  under  an  independent  party  label,  and  she’ll be on the ballot in November. Mahar,  53,  is  an  information  technology  employee  of  Warren  County. In the town of Stony Creek, Neil P. Bradley (Rep.) will be on the ballot.  He  was  to  be  challenged  on  the  GOP  line  by  Leon  B.  Bills,  whose petitions were deemed to be invalid by county election commissioners. Bills still has the opportunity to run as an independent. In the town of Bolton, Town Justice Edward Stewart (Rep.) is being challenged by Edward G. White (Rep., Con.)

Plenty of action in Queensbury, Glens Falls

In the Town of Queensbury, there’s a six-way race to serve in the  four at-large seats on the Warren County Board of Supervisors. One  of the four seats is being vacated by Mark Westcott, who is not seeking re-election so he can pursue other interests. Incumbents  Matthew  Sokol  (Rep.,  Indc.),  Rachel  Seeber  (Rep.,  Con.,  Indc.)  and  Douglas  Beaty  (Rep.,  Con.),  are  challenged  in  the  race  by  Deputy  Town  Supervisor  Ron  Montesi  (Rep.,  Con.,  Indc.),  former Supervisor-at-large David J. Strainer (Dem., Con.) and  Daniel Kane (Rep., Ind.) a teacher and the former Warren County STOPDWI coordinator.  For  the  Queensbury  Town  Board  Ward  3  post,  incumbent  Doug  Irish (Rep., Con., Indc.) is challenged by Richard F. Garrand Jr., vice  chairman of the town’s Zoning Board of Appeals. To represent Queensbury’s Ward 4, incumbent town board member William T. Van Ness (Rep.,Cons. Indc.) is challenged by Jennifer  Sullivan Switzer (Dem.), the fi nancial offi cer for Warren County Economic Development Corp.. Both Switzer and Garrand lost narrowly  in their respective town board races two years ago.  Two seats representing Glens Falls on the Warren County Board of Supervisors are contested, with the retirement of long-time county  supervisors Harold “Bud” Taylor of Ward 3 and Bill Kenny of Ward  5. Running for Taylor’s seat are Claudia K. Braymer (Dem.), an environmental lawyer, and W. Gary Patton (Rep., Indc.), owner of Superior Cantina restaurant. For  the  Ward  5  county  Supervisor  post,  declared  candidates  are  Matt  McDonald,  an  employee  of  Champlain  Stone,  and  Benn  F.  Driscoll Jr. (Dem., Con.) a former Ward 5 Councilman.

Stop the vandalism

M

ost of these Ò Little BitsÓ are what I call fl uff—light and fun. This one is  not.  It’s  about  vandalism  in  cemeteries and how I believe it to be abhorrent. Most  of you are familiar with a recent story about widespread damage and destruction in the historic Plattsburgh Riverside  Cemetery. When I learned of what happened there,  my  stomach churned. I by Gordie Little looked  at  Kaye  and we said almost  simultaneously,  “Who  would  do  a  thing  like that?” Who, indeed. Our next thought was,  “Can the police discover the person or persons  who  perpetrated  this  heinous  act  and,  regardless of age, will those responsible be prosecuted  to the full extent of the law?Ó I have not spoken with Plattsburgh City Police about it. I am no longer an everyday reporter  except  in  a  peripheral  way.  However,  with  extensive  experience  gathering  and  delivering  news to the North Country, I have ways of getting  information.  I  will  be  reading,  watching  and listening to all who report on this Riverside  desecration  and  will  use  whatever  meagre  infl uence I can muster to bring this case to a reasonable conclusion. My friends know my passion for local history. Kaye and I have wandered through countless cemeteries in this region and elsewhere. We  believe  graveyards  are  windows  to  the  past.  Finding  the  oldest  cemetery  in  any  place  we  visit, is like dessert after a satisfying meal. We  ponder over the names, dates and epitaphs. We  have  stood  among  the  monuments  and  stones  in  Gettysburg,  closed  our  eyes  and  listened  for  the  high-pitched  voice  of  our  16th  president delivering his brief but powerful address  in  November  of  1863.  We  have  walked  with  reverence  through  Arlington  National  Cemetery and shed a tear at the tomb of the Unknown  Soldier.  We  have  been  fi lled  with  emotion  as  we  stood  before  the  eternal  fl ame  honoring  John  F.  Kennedy.  We  have  scanned  every stone in the mostly forgotten graveyards  at Cades Cove in Tennessee, pondering the grief  of  parents  who  lost  entire  families  during  the  1918  infl uenza  pandemic.  We  have  done  the  same at the Post Cemetery along Route 9 south  of Plattsburgh. We have replicated that exercise  with  bona  fi de  historians  throughout  Clinton  County, from the Northern Tier to the southern  boundary  as  well  as  east  and  west.  We  have  studied  the  records  painstakingly  recorded  by  Hugh and Woody McLellan many decades ago,  along  with  more  recent  updates  by  Clyde  Rabideau, Sr. We  have  traveled  to  Scotland  and  Ireland  to  fi nd  the  graves  of  our  ancestors  and  cherished gravestone rubbings done in London and  throughout  England  by  my  late  Aunt  Freda.  We  have  meandered  through  rows  upon  rows  of  interesting  above-ground  burial  vaults  in  New Orleans. In short, we fi nd cemeteries to be  like libraries, revealing much about those who  came  before.  Our  righteous  anger  wells  when  we hear stories such as the recent vandalism at  Riverside Cemetery on Steltzer Drive in Plattsburgh. It would take more space than this to recount every story I know about such horrors. I recall  vandals  stealing  skulls  from  a  Peru  cemetery  vault  and  parading  about  like  the  demented  creatures they appeared to be. I remember stones tipped over in area cemeteries as youth  carried out macabre acts over the years. I know  of  a  case  where  grave  stones  were  bulldozed  into a local river. I salute my friends from the Clinton County Historical  Association  who  tagged  the  gravestones of Civil War veterans recently. I applaud  those who have rediscovered and reclaimed rural cemeteries that had fallen into disarray. I will not be satiated until all who were responsible for the destruction at Riverside Cemetery  are  brought  to  justice  and  the  damage  is  repaired. Someone knows who the culprit(s) are and I pray that they will step forward to help us bring it to some kind of satisfactory end. Thank  you  for  indulging  me  and  thanks  for  all  the  hard  work  police  and  others  are  doing  in this case. Please try with all the strength and  will you can muster to instill respect in your children so they wonÕ t be tempted to do such dastardly deeds.

Autosaver Ford in Comstock celebrates one year in business By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com COMSTOCK  — It  has  been  a  year  since  Autosaver  Ford  opened its doors in Comstock, and now they are ready to celebrate. On  Saturday,  July  18,  they  will  do  just  that  with  events  throughout the day at their 11125 N.Y. Route 22 location from  8 a.m. until 4 p.m. As part of the celebration, Autosaver Ford is offering a number of drawings and giveaways, including three Weber Q1200  gas grills to the first three purchases of the day; a $25 gas card  for a test drive (limited to first 25); three years of complimentary service for any vehicle sold that day; along with a drawing  for  a  43”  Flat  screen  TV  (need  to  be  present  to  win)  for  those  who take a test drive. The drawing will be held before the end  of the business day. The dealership will also be selling balloons, hamburgers, hot  dogs, soda, water and chips as part of the celebration.

structure and staffing. “We have new facilities with state-of-the-art equipment,” he  said.  “We  have  more  than  doubled  our  staff,  going  from  two  full time technicians to seven while extending the hours of our  service and sales departments.” Markey  said  while  the  dealership  has  expanded,  they  have  been able to stay true to the small town roots. “They do business the right way,” he said. “They still allow

me to keep that small town mom and pop flavor. Our customers come here and still see the same people they are used to seeing.” For more information, contact Autosaver Ford at 639-5542 or  visit autosaverfordcomstock.com.

property  off  Pasco  Road,  which  was  part  of  Route  28  during  BradyÕ s lifetime. Although historians have long known that Brady hailed from  the Lake George region, no one knew precisely  where until local  author  Glenn  Pearsall  discovered  the  ruins  through  census  records, sketches and a bit of wandering through the woods while  researching  his  2008  book  “Echoes  in  these  Mountains,”  which  commemorates historical sites in the Johnsburg area. Now, nearly a year after the sign’s mysterious disappearance,  the  Johnsburg  historical  society  launched  a  campaign  on  the  crowd-funding  website Adirondackgives.com  on  June  22  to  replace the sign and implement added security measures.  In a matter of days the campaign had well exceeded its $1,900  goal, bolstered by a recent article in the New York Times detailing  the circumstances of its bereavement. As of Tuesday, July 14, donations from over 50 backers exceeded $2,600, with 38 days remaining in the campaign. “I  was  astounded,”  said  Delbert  Chambers,  president  of  the  Johnsburg historical society. “The day the Times article went up,  it went ballistic — and it’s still climbing. “The  article  went  online  Monday,  [July  6]  and  appeared  in  print Tuesday, and by Wednesday we had surpassed our goal,”  Chambers said. While replacing the sign is still “number one” for the historical  society, Chambers said they intend to use the additional money  to  begin  to  develop  a  permanent  Mathew  Brady  exhibit  in  the  town. In announcing the exhibit in a note on the web-page, Chambers  praised  the  myriad  donors,  saying  “your  altruism  has  reinvigorated our morale.” However,  the  sign  won’t  be  replaced  overnight,  Chambers  said,  as  the  process  is  quite  extensive,  and  will  be  undertaken  entirely by the volunteer organization. “There is no state involvement. This is a private concern, now  paid for by the concerned populace,” Chambers said. As of now, the historical society plans to install a new sign at  the same location in the Fall of this year.

Historical heist

While  the  theft  of  the  sign  is  a  curious  crime,  it  was  not  the  first controversy surrounding the Brady marker, as the historical  society’s first attempt at installation was thwarted by the owner  of a bordering property. According to Chambers, the man who owns this neighboring

Delbert Chambers, president of the Johnsburg historical society, stands on the site of the stolen Mathew Brady historical marker, which is set to be replaced this Fall.

www.adirondackjournal.com land claimed incorrectly that his property-line extended to the intended site, from which the sign was later placed and stolen. Following this incident, the historical society opted to install  the sign at the C. Earnest Noxon Community Center in Weavertown instead, holding its dedication ceremony in November of  2011. Later, when Chambers became president of the historical society, he worked to have the sign moved to what he considers its  rightful place following an increase in community concern. “I kept getting asked, ‘Why isn’t it where it belongs?’” Chambers said. Chambers proved the original location to be state-owned and  arranged for the proper insurance and clearances from the state  highway department and the town before relocating it in the Fall  of 2013. “Everything was perfectly legal,” he said. Less than a year later, however, the sign was ripped from the  earth by what Chambers maintains could only have been a tractor. The culprit(s) made off with the cast iron sign, weighing in at  around 100 pounds, the post which held it and the concrete footing used to secure it. “I  wanted  to  say  ‘the  only  thing  they  left  behind  was  a  hole  in  the  ground,’”  Chambers  quipped,  “but  they  kicked  dirt  into  the hole when they were done — they even stole the hole in the  ground.” This  was  not  the  first  time  a  sign  had  been  stolen  from  this  same location, Chambers said, as a large pink banner advertising the Thurman town-wide garage sale went missing only three  months prior to the theft of the Brady marker. While an investigation by the Warren county Sheriff’s Department has yielded no arrests and little information, witnesses reported  seeing  an  orange  Kubota  tractor  at  the  location  around  the time the sign went missing.

Brady’s life and legacy

One of the first American photographers and often credited as  the father of photojournalism, Mathew Brady lived in Johnsburg  until he was 16 years old, when he moved to Saratoga to study  painting with famed portrait painter William Page. Through  his  relationshiop  with  Page,  Brady  met  inventor  Samuel F. B. Morse, who pioneered the art of daguerreotype photography in America. Brady  became  a  student  of  Morse’s,  eventually  opening  his  own photography studio in New York City in 1844, and another  in  Washington  D.C.  in  1956,  where  he  began  to  photograph  illustrious  Americans,  including  Andrew  Jackson  and  Andrew  Carnegie. Brady’s foray onto the battlefields of the Civil War began with  the lucrative enterprise of photographing young soldiers before  they  left  for  the  front,  marketing  his  services  to  parents  who  feared they’d never see their sons again. But soon Brady himself journeyed to the front lines of the Civil  War, accompanied by a team of 23 photographers he employed,  each equipped with a traveling darkroom. “I had to go. A spirit in my feet said ‘Go,’ and I went,” Brady  is quoted as saying. Brady  and  his  team  were  among  the  first  photographers  to  shoot real battle scenes, and together they produced the largest  single collection of Civil War information in the United States. “For the first time people were really seeing what was happening on the battlefield,” Chambers said of Brady’s efforts.

A famous photograph of Abraham Lincoln taken by Brady (above) on the day of Lincoln’s Cooper Union speech. Lincoln would later say of the photo, “Brady and the Cooper Institute made me President.” In addition to the battlefield scenes, Brady photographed portraits  of  such  Civil  War  figures  as  Ulysses  S.  Grant,  Stonewall  Jackson  and  Robert  E.  Lee,  in  addition  to  a  number  of  earlier  photographs  of Abraham  Lincoln  which  have  appeared  on  the  $5 bill, the Lincoln penny and the 90-cent Lincoln Postage issue  of 1869. It comes as no surprise that Lincoln Ñ who often publicly mocked  his  own  ugliness  —  should  favor  the  photography  of  Brady,  who  was  known  to  retouch  photographs  to  make  them  more attractive to the eye. Lincoln personally commended Brady on the power and influence of his images by saying “Brady and the Cooper Institute  made  me  President,”  in  reference  to  a  1860  photograph  which  became the central image of Lincoln’s campaign, taken by Brady  on the day of the famous Cooper Union speech in New York City. During  this  speech  Lincoln  elaborated  his  views  on  slavery  and arguably secured his victory in the presidential election later  that year. However,  making  presidents  does  not  exempt  a  man  from  despair,  as  when  the  government  declined  to  purchase  his  collection of 10,000 plates — which cost Brady $100,000 to produce  Ñ he was forced to sell his studio and declare bankruptcy before dying alone in 1896 in the charity ward of Presbyterian Hospital  from complications following a streetcar accident. Thanks to the Johnsburg historical society and the generosity  of a number of strangers, however, Brady’s work  and memory  will live on within the Adirondack town in which the legendary  figure was born and raised nearly two centuries ago.

Small Tales Early Learning Center and Daycare holds open house By Ryan Edwards

ryan@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — The  Lotus  Group  of  Companies  held  an  open  house  on  Saturday,  July  11,  at  their  latest  Warrensburg  venture  —  Small Tales Early Learning Center and Daycare. The open house invited area residents to tour  the site, meet the staff, learn the curriculum and  sign up for daycare services. Located  at  99  River  Street  in  Warrensburg,  Small  Tales  endeavors  to  provide  a  space  for  young  area  residents  to  develop  integral  language and literacy skills through a tailored curriculum  centered  on  storytelling  and  learning  through play. “They’re not going to come watch television  and  play  video  games,”  said  Lotus  CEO  Ash  Anand. “They’re here to learn something.” As Small Tales prepares to open officially next  week, Anand said “I’m extremely excited to be  done. It’s been a long process to become totally

Steak roast, parade set in Newcomb

While Small Tales does not formally open until a Wednesday, July 22 ribbon-cutting ceremony  hosted  by  Sen.  Betty  Little,  the  open  house  served as an opportunity for parents and their  children to see the facility and learn about the CenterÕ s mission. “We  believe  that  choosing  a  daycare  is  beginning  the  path  of  learning  and  socialization  your child will take for the rest of their lives,”  said  communication  director  Maggie  Morgan.  Ò When children are exposed to literacy at a young  age,  they  are  able  to  make  viable  connections to the real world through fables, fairytales and classic fiction.” Small Tales employs a staff of 20, including a  number  of  teachers  with  extensive  experience  at area schools, and as many as 60 kids can be  enrolled at a time.   Terri  Leary,  who  worked  with  infants  and  toddlers  at  the  Washington  County  Headstart  for 21 years, will be in charge of the infant room  at Small Tales.

Parade lineup will start at 10 a.m. at the Newcomb House Bar,  stepping off from the Newcomb House at 11 a.m. and making its  way through town, led by a team of oxen who will be pulling a  wagon with the guests of honor and other dignitaries. The parade will end at the Newcomb Central School, leading

Turning Back the Pages By Jean Hadden One Hundred Years Ago – July, 1915 Inferno raged at Riverside

The  Dipper  Pond  home  of  Asa  E.  Porter,  at  Riverside,  was  burned to the ground on June 30, 1915 at 1 o’clock in the morning. Hardly had the flames been discovered when they became  completely beyond control. Mrs. Porter, while in an upper room trying to save some of  her  most  treasured  belongings,  was  overcome  by  smoke  and  her husband, rushing  up  the building stairs, carried her down  through  the  seething  flames  to  safety.  Mrs.  Porter’s  hair  was  scorched and one of her ears was severely burned. Several  neighbors,  attempting  to  carry  out  a  piano,  were  nearly killed by a falling chimney. The piano was not saved. A  large collection of books, filling two cases, were destroyed and  also a great deal of clothing and nearly all of the furniture. The  house  was  large  and  very  pretty  with  its  first  and  second story porches enclosed with lattice work and covered with  vines and rambling roses. It was one of the finest houses in the  area. There was no insurance on the property, the policy having  recently expired and through neglect had not been duly paid.   Mr.  Porter  and  family  removed  to  Riverside  from  Gloversville two years ago. He expects to rebuild.

Fish Hatchery news

Sumner  Manley  Cowden,  Sr.,  of  Bemis  Point,  has  been  appointed   superintendent of the new Warrensburgh Fish Hatchery,  to  be  built  this  summer  on  the  old  Ben  Glynn  farm,  Echo  Lake Road,  and he is now on the grounds superintending the  reconstruction  of  the  farm  house  on  the  place,  which  will  be  his residence. The building will be provided with modern improvements, including a steam heating plant, bath room, etc. Mr. Cowden will establish his residence there as soon as the work  on  the  house  is  done.  He  comes  from  the  Chautaugua  hatchery,  where  he  has  been  stationed  for  a  number  of  years.  He was picked for this place by State Fish Culturist T.H. Bean and Dr. Bean was here to oversee the property last week. Both  he and Superintendent Cowden are enthusiastic over the location and the quality of the water supply from the Lockwood spring which they pronounce to be superior. The hatchery will  be  devoted  exclusively  to  the  propagation  of  brook-trout  and  all streams in this section will be stocked with its product. The  contract  for  the  hatchery  building  is  expected  to  be  let  within a few days and work on it will probably be started by July 22, 1915. The plant will be one of the show places of Warrensburgh and will attract many visitors. (Note  –  Senator  James A.  Emerson  secured  $20,000  early  in  1912  to  build  the  fish  hatchery  in  Warrensburg.  The  72  acre  property was bought by the state from Addie Glynn and John  H. Lockwood which includes an island on the adjoining Hudson River. Both properties were part of the Lockwood farm. The  hatchery  was  constructed  under  contract  by  George  E.  Farrar.  Sumner Cowden retired in 1955 and he died in 1970. The  good  news  is  that  the  Warrensburgh  Historical  Society  will  hold  its  19th      Annual  Croquet  Competition  and  free  to  the public Picnic on the hatchery grounds next month, Sunday,  Aug. 9, 2015 and everyone is invited.)

Mystery fire at Loon Lake

The barn on Dr. Fred E. Aldrich’s farm at Chestertown, overlooking Loon Lake, was burned Tuesday evening, July 6, 1915,  about 7 o’clock in the evening. The origin of the fire is a mystery. Several  fire  fighting  parties  hastened  to  the  scene  by  autos  but the flames had gained much headway so that they were unable to approach the building   and none of the farming implements stored within were saved.

Growing population

Warren  County  now  has  a  population  of  33,052  people  according to figures filed by the enumerators of census. The city of Falls contains nearly half the people in the county,  now having a population of 16,356, an increase of 1,113 in five  years. Warrensburgh has a total of 2,314 people.

Exciting horse races

In  the  races  held  in  connection  with  the  Elks  field  day  and  picnic,  at  Rensselaer  Park.  Troy,  Monday  afternoon,  July  5,  1915, Dr. Bell, driven by Charles Mosher, of Chestertown, won  the free- for- all pace event in three straight heats. General  Grant,  another  Chestertown  horse,  driven  by  Mr.  Mosher, also won the free-for-all event in three straight heats.  Pilot  Bay,  a  Glens  Falls  horse,  driven  by  J.  Bishop,  took  third  place in the running races.

Soldiers invade Warrensburgh

The  Third  Battalion,  Thirtieth  United  States  Infantry,  stationed  at  Plattsburgh,  in  command  of  Major  E.H.  Bandholty  and  numbering  about  350  men,  marched  into  Warrensburgh,  Monday afternoon, July 5, 1915. They made camp on the Warren  County  fairgrounds,  behind  Ashe’s  Hotel,  and  remained  until 6 o’clock Tuesday morning, when they departed for South  Glens Falls. The camp was visited by many townspeople on Monday but  most were disappointed as there was no band with the battalion  as  there  has  been  in  previous  years.  The  soldiers  were  en  route to Fishkill Landing to act as instructors.

Hotel changes hands

A,C, Stone, who recently sold the Grand Army Hotel, in Warrensburgh,  to  W.D.  Wright,  has  leased  the  High  Point  Tavern,  on  the  Lake  George  Road,  and  will  conduct  it  as  a  first  class  road house. Mr.  Stone  has  a  large  experience  as  a  caterer.  He  will  surrender possession of the Grand Army Hotel on Saturday, July  10,  1915  to  its  new  proprietor.  Mr.  Wright  will  be  assisted  in  the management of the place by his brother, Jack Wright, who  has been employed as clerk in the house for six years. (Note Ð The Grand Army House was on the corner of Main and Water  Streets, now George Henry’s bar and restaurant location.)

Boy in hot water

An automobile of American model, not recently made, but a  powerful and attractive car, owned by Dr. John Magee, of Troy  and  Chestertown,  caught  fire  while  being  driven  by  a  son  of  the owner, at midnight, Monday, July 5, 1915 on the Riverside  Road, in an uninhabited section where assistance could not be

secured and despite the stoutest resistance on the part of the young man, the car burned fiercely and is believed to be totally  destroyed.

Schroon Lake man critical

Elmer Shattuck, of Schroon Lake, while at work cutting pulp  wood near his home recently was fatally injured when a tree fell  on  him,  pinning  him  to  the  ground.  He  was  taken  to  Moses Hospital, in Ticonderoga, where it was found that his back  was broken and his body paralyzed from the waist down. His chances of recovery are considered to be very doubtful.

Prominent lady dies

Mary  Mixter,  70,  wife  of  Emerson  S.  Crandall,  died  Friday  afternoon,  July  2,  1915  at  the  Emerson  family  home  on  Main  Street,  Warrensburgh.  Death  was  caused  by  a  general  breaking down of the system resulting from an attack of pneumonia  which she suffered in the early part of last winter. She was a daughter of the late John Mixter and the eldest of  a family of eight children of whom only two now survive, Miss  Ida Mixter and Fred R. Mixter, both of this village. Besides her  husband  she  leaves  a  daughter,  Miss  Mary  S.  Crandall  and  a  son, Percy Emerson Crandall. A son, Charles Emerson Crandall  is deceased. Since girlhood, the deceased has been a faithful organist for  many years at the Church of the Holy Cross, a position now to  be ably filled by her daughter and the funeral was held at the  church. (Note  –  The  old  Mixter  homestead  was  the  stone  building  located on lower Main Street where the Warrensburg Chamber  of Commerce is now located. The Crandall homestead was the white house, now for sale, once called the White House Lodge,  located between the VFW and the Church of the Holy Cross. Emerson Crandall, who died in 1926, was a wealthy man who  owned the three story Crandall business block across the street from  his  house.  It  burned  in  1927.  Miss  Mary  Crandall  was  a  well respected legend in her own time at the Richards Library.)

Sweet and sour notes

It  was  just  89  years  ago,  July  4,  1826  that  John  Adams  and  Thomas Jefferson died on the same day. It was just 30 years ago, July 23, 1885, that Ulysses S. Grant,  18th  president  of  the  U.S.,  died  at  age  63  years  at  Mount  McGregor, New York. (Note – Grant’s Cottage, next to Mount McGregor Prison, finally closed on July 26, 2014 for the last time.) “Mr.  Fox”  is  making  himself  quite  a  home  at  the  farmer’s  hen houses in the locality of Landon Hill, Chestertown. Several  flocks have been considerably thinned out by his visits. Mrs. S.R. Pritchard has been appointed postmistress at Pottersville to succeed Scott Pritchard. Several  men  of  Mike  McCarthy’s  river  driving  crew  are  boarding at G.W. Smith’s in South Horicon. John  S.  Armstrong  and  Miss  Mary  Albert  were  married  by  the Rev. C.S. Agan, June 26, 1915, at the Methodist parsonage in  Warrensburgh and they will make their home here.
