Middle League Champions!

Warrensburg grabs first title in decades WARRENSBURG Ñ WarrensburgÕ s 2016 J.V. and Varsity baseball teams will come out swinging next season, parents and coaches say after the townÕ s middle league Ryan team secured its first ever Edwards league championship last Writer Thursday.

The title is WarrensburgÕ s first in decades, as coach Lenny Baker said the town hasn’t taken the top prize in his 22-year tenure.

“I’ve been coaching the team since my son was 12; now heÕ s 34, and in that time we

haven’t won a championship,” he said. “As far as I know, this is the first time since we started in 1969.”

Warrensburg defeated Salem in Hartford 4-1 to earn the title after snagging the western division championship following a 14-5 victory against Hadley Luzerne the night before.

All four of the teamÕ s runs were scored in the sixth and final inning, which began with a onerun Salem lead.

Two doubles delivered by shortstop John Kelly Ñ who went two for two with two runs scored and two RBIs — were key to the team’s victory, as well as one double apiece from Zach Smith and Mac Baker and a single from Peyton Olden.

Smith also pitched the entire game, striking out seven batters and giving up a single walk and seven hits.

With 16 players and no cuts, Baker and cocoaches Chad Rounds and Al Perrone found a way to include everyone in the games, Baker said. Ò It did a lot for baseball in Warrensburg, winning a championship after all these years,” Baker said. “Everyone contributed in many ways Ñ whether it was stealing bases or hitting runs,

tries — a gravel-producing enterprise in town that’s flourished for 91 years. The two enterprises are entirely separate.

Etain LLC’s successful proposal was one of 43 submitted to the state in a competitive process that included some prominent national corporations.

The choice of Etain for the one of the five exclusive licenses means that 20 to 25 jobs are to be created soon at unionlevel wages — with most all of the new employees to be hired before January, according to Etain Chief Operating Officer Hillary Peckham.

everyone did something.”

Another behind-the-scenes contributor to the victory was the Warrensburg Fire Department, which sponsors the team, Baker said.

“They pay for literally everything; anything we need, they provide it” he said. “Other teams have to do fundraisers, so it makes it a lot easier for us because we can focus on coaching instead of fundraising.”

Baker said his goal for the team is to elongate >> Story Continued | pg. 16

Mountain Days to host expanded lumberjack competition thom@suncommunitynews.com

STONY CREEK — The rural festival renowned for embracing Adirondack culture and traditions is returning for 2015 this weekend with an expanded lumberjack competition, as well as a familyfriendly comedian plus new activities for children.

Stony Creek, with a population of less than 800, is holding its annual Mountain Days Festival from Friday, Aug. 7 through Sunday, Aug. 9 with a lineup of attractions for all ages.

Headlining the beloved event is the lumberjack competition beginning at 10 a.m. on Sunday, one hour earlier than in past years because nearly 40 percent more competitors are participating — and several new events are added, including log-rolling.

Both men and women will be chopping timber and sawing wood with crosscut, chain and bow saws, as well as throwing axes at targets.

These sanctioned competitions, held by the New York State Lumberjacks Association, are an annual crowd favorite — featuring both local competitors and lumberjacks from around northeastern U.S. In recent years, several of the lumberjacks or lumberjills have been U.S. or international champions in their particular event.

As of this year, the Stony Creek competitions will be the largest that the New York State Lumberjacks will be sanctioning, according to festival organizer Ronda Thomas of the Stony Creek Chamber of Commerce.

Mountain Days will also be featuring an encampment of viking re-enactors on site both days, giving the public a glimpse of customs from centuries ago, including cooking, crafts, weaponry, music, and blacksmithing.

Mountain Days begins at 7 p.m. Friday night with music and dancing to the music of Out of Control Rhythm & Blues Band.

Sure to get the crowd in motion with their horn and strings backup, the band will be performing in the town park where most all the weekend’s events are to occur.

On Saturday beginning at 11 a.m., the Mountain Days Festival shifts into high gear with its lineup of vendors, mountain music, educational expos and entertainment. Most all the events and activities continue on Sunday.

Activities for Saturday include recurring performances by comedian Jeff Wozer, who tours nationally when he’s not at home in his remote Colorado cabin, sharing his clean humor with audiences of all ages. Awarded as the nation’s leading environmentally-conscious comic, Wozer has written scripts for NPR’s

“Prairie Home Companion” radio series.

Saturday also features a free photo booth, where people can take instant selfies, branded with the Mountain Days logo, ready to take home as souvenirs.

For children on Saturday, Lisa Bartow of the Stony Creek Library will introduce her goat and sheep to youngsters, while showing them how sheep’s wool is processed. Children will be able to card, wash, spin and dye wool, and take it home with them. Also on Saturday, Magician Joey D. will be on site from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. crafting balloon creatures as giveaways.

On both Saturday and Sunday, activities for children include various games, face painting and free snow cones. A new feature for children is not only a bounce house but an inflated obstacle course. All are available at no charge.

During both Saturday and Sunday, naturalists from Warren County Soil & Water will be helping children find creatures in the creek nearby — Also, Dean Davis will be presenting his Living World Ecology show with a wide variety of live reptiles.

On Saturday from noon to 3 p.m., the musical duo of steel guitar guru Randy Rollman and guitarist George Barot will be performing onstage as well as strolling the festival grounds. About the same time, members of the Stony Creek Fire Co. are to be conducting safety demonstrations.

Saturday evening beginning at 7:30 p.m., the Big Medicine Band will be onstage, delivering their renowned country-flavored acoustic blues-rock. The group, based in Saratoga Springs, is led by Jeff Walton on guitar and harmonica.

On Sunday, a group of Civil War re-enactors — Friends of the Grant Cottage from Wilton — will have camps set up on site, sharing their age-old traditions with festival attendees.

A variety of food will be available both days, including pulled pork or brisket sandwiches cooked up by the Chamber chefs. Both the Stony Creek Library and local firefighters will also be vending food.

A town-wide garage sale is to be held Saturday and Sunday, with locator maps guiding people to the sale sites. On Saturday, the sale features a scavenger hunt in which people collect letters to spell a secret word for a Chamber-sponsored drawing at 5 p.m.

Ronda Thomas said Tuesday that this year’s Mountain Days Festival offered more attractions than ever.

“Particularly with the expansion of the lumberjack competition and the famous comedian, this will be a really fantastic year,” she said. “People will really enjoy taking a break from their contemporary technology, get out to our festival and learn about rural traditions, enjoy the entertainment in a family-friendly atmosphere, and see the lumberjacks compete.”

Elise Stefanik talks North Country development

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Issues of border security, trade, transportation and infrastructure and agriculture were brought up during a roundtable discussion with Congresswoman Elise Stefanik.

The discussion took place Monday, Aug. 3 at the Holiday Inn with Stefanik, chamber board chairman Greg MacConnell, supervisor of the Town of Plattsburgh Bernie Bassett, North Country Chamber of Commerce President Garry Douglas, Mayor James Calnon, Steve LaBombard of Clinton County Board of Realtors and other prominent people of the North Country.

The breakfast discussion, sponsored by the Clinton County Board of Realtors, focused on economic development, manufacturing, Canada and U.S. partnership and international business in the North Country.

BORDER SECURITY Stefanik has worked alongside Douglas and the North Country Chamber of Commerce to ensure that anytime there’s a discussion about border security, that its honored by the partnership with the area’s Canadian partners and counterparts.

Stefanik said the Beyond the Border Action Plan - a long-term partnership built upon a perimeter to approach security and economic competitiveness established in 2011 - is critical to the North Country.

“It’s a way we can be a leading voice on our northern border issues,” said Stefanik.

She also mentioned that the Preclearance Act — an act authorizing the United States to preclear travelers and goods in Canada for entry into the United States — is critical to the North Country community, as well.

This fall, congress will be discussing more on border control issues, including issues Jim Phillips, president and CEO of the Canadian/American Border Trade Alliance, brought up in regards to the preclearance act, budgetary control and homegrown terrorism.

“Homegrown terrorism is probably the biggest threat to our domestic public and it’s a very difficult issue,” he said. “It’s becoming a very serious threat.”

TRANSPORTATION, INFRASTRUCTURE On July 29, the houses passed a three-month, $8 billion highway bill that would extend federal transportation funding until the end of October.

Though the bill isn’t an ideal way to fund their infrastructure, Stefanik said, the purpose of having that bill is to get a multi-year bill by the end of this year.

David Bray, property manager of the Imperial Industrial Park, asked Stefanik how long the it would take to get a long-term transportation budget passed. She said she’s optimistic there will be one by the end of this year.

“I think that if we could get a long-term transportation bill passed sooner than later,” Bray said, “it’s going to be a huge benefit to our area.”

Currently, the area makes mass transit items such as busses, trains, ambulances and other manufactured items. However, it lacks a exporting/importing bay — being the only developed nation in the world not authorized to have one.

“We ought to be encouraging manufacturing,” Stefanik said. “We ought to be encouraging exports of things that are made in the United States.”

Stefanik also focused on reauthorization of the Ex-Im (ExportImport) Bank, something that helps American companies sell products in overseas markets by providing loans to foreign buyers and insurance for sellers.

Stefanik explained this wouldn’t be any cost to taxpayers. So far, they have the majority of votes, but it’s just a matter of moving the legislation to the floor.

“I’m constantly voicing my frustration to leadership to encourage them to bring the Ex-Im reauthorization to the floor,” she said. “It’s primary for many of our manufacturers.”

TRADE CONFUSIONS Stefanik addressed the issue in regards to the public’s confusion on TPA (Trade Promotion Authority): what TPA is and why it’s so important to the North Country.

TPA is a partnership between congress and the administration that ensures the United States secures the most effective trade agreements possible, which will boost presidential authority in negotiating trade deals.

“It’s really an opportunity for the U.S. to play a lead economic role in the world,” Stefanik said. “I’m proud on my vote for that issue.”

Though Stefanik spoke highly on the TPA, multiple guests from the roundtable discussion, including director of regulatory affairs and consulting for the Deringer Logistics Consulting Group Robert DeCamp, were more concerned with what comes after TPA, which is TPP. TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) is a treaty/trade deal between the United States and 11 other countries — Australia, Brunei, Canada, Japan, Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam — that would align to provide a global alternative trade

to China, an agreement the Bush administration began discussing in 2008.

“It allows the U.S. to take a leading voice and a leading role in ensuring that we’re exporting our manufactured goods,” Stefanik said.

“This is going to continue as a debate as we head toward finalizing the transpacific partnership.”

GROWING AGRICULTURE This past weekend, Stefanik visited Essex Farm Institute, along with numerous dairy farms, apple orchards and the wine trail.

What she saw when she visited these places was the ability to attract young people to this region and encourage the North Country’s high school and college graduates to stay here.

“I think that the future of growing our economy of the North Country is very tied to promoting agriculture,” she said. “Agriculture is just as important as manufacturing.”

Colin Read, co-owner of the Champlain Wine Company, agreed with what Stefanik said on growing agriculture and getting both kids and graduates involved with it.

“We have so many kids who want to come in and do something in agriculture,” Read said. “We have to create room and an opportunity for them.”

TSA to host scarecrow contest

THURMAN — Thurman Station Association will host its first-ever Scarecrow Contest, to be held in conjunction with its Thurman Fall Farm Tour Saturday, Sept. 26. The contest is open to kids, adults, families, organizations and businesses. Organizers expect stiff competition among contestants for three cash prizes: $50, $75 and $100.

County Youth Fair returns with bigger talent show

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — The Warren County Youth Fair returns this summer with an expanded lineup of acts performing in its talent contest, a traditional 4-H horse show, other activities including games for children and a pie-eating contest.

The Youth Fair is to be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 8 at the Warren County Fairgrounds on Schroon River Road in Warrensburg.

The event is hosted and conducted by Cornell Cooperative Extension and the agency’s 4-H program. There is no charge for either admission or parking.

A primary objective of the fair is to highlight the projects and exhibits of the county’s 4-H participants, Cooperative Extension 4-H Coordinator John Bowe said this week. Nearly 200 projects will be displayed or demonstrated over the four-hour duration of the fair, he said.

The youth fair’s annual talent show, set to begin at 11 a.m., features more acts than in the last several years, Bowe said.

Perhaps prompted by such television shows as “The Voice” and “Dancing with the Stars,” most of the acts involve singing or dancing, Bowe said. The talent participating has been recruited through schools across the region, he added.

ditions, will be conducted from 9:15 a.m. until complete in the fairground’s arena.

The fair’s pie-eating contest, set for 10:45 a.m., is open to the public.

A square-dancing demonstration is to be conducted at 10 a.m. by Tom and Deb Story.

A magic show sponsored by the Warrensburg and Lake George libraries is to be held at noon in the fair’s reading room. At 12:45 p.m. the 4-H program will acknowledge the youth selected to represent Warren County at the “Produced in New York” competition to be held at the New York State Fair later this summer.

All day events include a laser-shot amusement, dime-toss and guessing games, a reading room, craft activities, and an exhibit detailing Warren County 4-H’s Adirondack Guide program. A booth with light snacks is to be operated by 4-Hers.

One of the main objectives of the fair is to help develop responsibility and leadership skills among youth, Bowe said. 4-H Teen Supervisors are to be on duty at the fair performing various tasks, he said.

“For most of our Teen Supervisors, this is their first job ever,” he said.

The downsized Warren County Youth Fair of recent years continues a 141-year-old tradition of the Warren County Fair, and 4-Hers are striving to keep the tradition going for future generations, event organizers said.

Cooperative Extension’s 4-H program is open to youth from 5 to 19 years old, providing opportunities to learn through clubs, after school and school enrichment programs.

Sponsors of the youth fair include Glens Falls National Bank, Krystal Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge and First Niagara Bank.

For details about Warren County 4-H, call John Bowe or Abby Henderson at 668-4881.

‘Sticky Wicket’ croquet event returns this Sunday

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — Keen but friendly competition with a historical flair — plus good food and socializing — are in store at the 19th annual Sticky Wicket croquet tournament set for 11 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 9 at the Warren County Fish Hatchery pavilion in Warrensburg.

A fundraiser for the Warrensburgh Historical Society, the event has often included society members in historical garb, and participants occasionally delving into genial debates over the rules. This year, such disputes are to be settled by Croquetmaster Drendan Hanley, a former-year winner of the Sticky Wicket.

Sign-ups for the competition begin at 11 a.m., followed by several rounds of competition. Players on three courses will vie for the coveted Sticky Wicket Trophy.

Players will be matched against participants of similar skill level.

There is a $5 fee to compete.

The event is held rain or shine, as there’s plenty of room for socializing in the large pavilion at the hatchery, located at the end of Echo Lake Road off Hudson St. Extension in Warrensburg. For details, call Paul Gilchrist at 623-3514.

All donations are to benefit the work of the Warrensburgh Historical Society, which works to preserve, and increase awareness of, the town’s rich history. It publishes a Quarterly newsletter and operates the Museum of Local History for the Town of Warrensburg.

America the Beautiful!

wonder at times if Americans have gotten too caught up in the current day to day hustle and bustle of life to really think about what a great country we are privileged to call home?

There have been many societies down through the ages that took for granted all the benefits they had built over the years and reached a point where enough was never enough. There comes a point where we each have to take stock in what we have and what we expect from our personal efforts; Also from those we share this country with and from the government, charged with maintaining and building a foundation for the nation.

Optimism seems to have taken a back seat these days to complaining. The first debate of the 2016 presidential election took place earlier this week as the Republicans get the process started with the top 10 ranked candidates.

Since this column is written before that event I can only assume this election will pick up where the last one left off.

Candidates tearing their opponents down and lots of discussion about all the things that are wrong with our country.

I strongly doubt there will be much talk about what’s right with America and what a great nation where we are blessed to be called citizens. That’s what I see at the root of our national discontentment. We spend far too much time talking about our shortcomings and not nearly enough time celebrating our freedoms and our fellow citizens who go about their business each day, raising families, building lives and making their version of the American Dream come true.

Opportunity is all around us if we just open our eyes and take time to smell the roses. The nation is full of beautiful landscapes, magnificent cities, wonderful hospitals, creative, talented and generous people who give so much of themselves. It’s uplifting just to be in their company.

Last week a story that had to catch your attention was 8-yearold Zion who lost his limbs to a serious infection at a younger age. Zion was blessed with prosthetic legs and was hoping for prosthetic hands that might allow him even greater mobility.

The prosthetic legs have allowed Zion to be very active, including walking, running and jumping; he had learned to use his forearms to write, eat and play video games, and has been attending school.

This young man became the first candidate to receive a double-hand transplant earlier this month at The Children’s Hospiltal of Philadelphia in an eleven hour surgical operation performed by a 40-person medical team.

The surgery itself is enough to celebrate, but the attitude of young Zion in a recent press conference was an inspirational marvel. It’s one we should all take a lesson from when we think about all we have in our lives and all we owe to those who gave birth to this great nation.

We’re adding new reporters.

We’re rolling out expanded arts and entertainment coverage.

And we’re doing so with a new look.

With the Sun comes a facelift from our design team.

We keep you informed on local government activities and civic issues.

We report on your taxes going up and down.

We tell you who’s running for office and what new businesses and organizations are coming and going in your neighborhood.

We help facilitate discussions about the issues that matter.

We’re there when you score the winning goal and when you pass that life milestone.

We tell the stories of ordinary people who do extraordinary things.

We capture the beginning of life and the end of it.

And like the sun, we’re everywhere.

We hope you enjoy it.

Call to lawmakers to support MEA

St. Mary’s Gala a great success

To the Editor: I am writing to urge the elected officials in the Northern New York area to support the Museum Education Act (MEA) introduced by Senator Betty Little (Senate Bill 5001) and Assemblymember Mathew Titone (Assembly Bill 8199).

New York State has more museums, historical societies, zoos, botanical gardens and aquariums than any other state, many of which are among the leading art, history, science, and natural history institutions in the world. As many as 60 million visitors, including over six million school children, visit New York’s museums and institutions each year, the economic impact of which is well into the billions of dollars statewide.

However, many of these major tourist and educational destinations are struggling financially to keep their doors open and provide the services students and adult learners need. Since 2008, school districts statewide have been forced to cut their budgets and many have unfortunately cut transportation budgets once used to transport students to their local and regional museums and institutions. This unfortunate reality has effectively cut-off many of New York’s students from learning field trips and, in turn, harmed the museums and institutions they once visited. The MEA will help end this practice and get our students and adult learners back to the museums and institutions eager to serve them, all at no cost to local school districts. And in doing so, it will strengthen the educational competitiveness of New York’s students and adult learners.

Carol Rock, Secretary Babbie Rural & Farm Learning Museum

To the Editor: It is time to take a break from the hot and busy summer to relay my appreciation to those who so diligently worked to make the St. Mary’s Summer Gala such a roaring success. Without hesitation, these individuals stepped forward to put together a funfilled evening for all in attendance and to raise money for St. Mary’s School. Under the leadership of Robin Hearburg and Maria Stitt this group planned an event which included dinner with a d.j. and dancing and both live and silent auctions which entertained as well as brought in much needed cash for our local Catholic school. In addition, a $10,000 raffle was held that gave out approximately $15,000 in prize money.

Sue Liddel, Jean Hakim, Karlene Gonyeau, Marianne Major, Margy Pote, Lori Clark, Christine Leerkes, Linda Leavens, Kristina Wells, and Cathy Spaulding all worked throughout the spring and into the summer to bring this event to fruition. Kudos to Scott Hearburg for once again being the auctioneer extraordinaire. Thank you to Father Kevin for his over-arching support and trust.

In closing, the timing of this year’s help was all the more meaningful given the consuming reconstruction of our beloved school, soon to be re-opened for the 2015-2016 school year. God’s blessings abound.

OTTG Children’s Theatre expresses thanks To the Editor: An enthusiastic and energetic group of talented young people recently participated in Our Town Theatre Group’s third Children’s Theatre Workshop. During the week students were immersed in music, and dancing, and games from the 1950’s era, assisted in creating props and set for their mini-musical “At the Bandstand”, and performed for a full house at the Lyle Dye Auditorium at Tannery Pond Community Center.

OTTG would like to thank event sponsor Barton International, Community Fund for the Gore Mountain Region administered by the Adirondack Community Trust for supporting grant funds, as well as parents, friends, and community members. Your support is greatly appreciated! Check out our web site (ottg.org) for upcoming events!

If Win wins, the voters Lose To the Editor: If you’re afraid that your candidate can’t win on his or her merits, sometimes your best option is to go all-out prevent a contest.

In late 2012, Essex county clerk Joseph Provoncha was publicly fined and reprimanded for improperly influencing the award of a county contract. Provoncha was punished because he allowed an eventual contract recipient to determine the criteria through which that contract was awarded. Provoncha was fined $3,500 by the County Ethics Board for his lapses in judgment and was forced to resign from two of his public positions.

“Provoncha also admitted to violating the Ethics Policy, the County policy manual and continued misuse of the County computer system after being asked by the Ethics Board to stop,” wrote Valley News reporter Katherine Clark in her coverage of Provoncha’s public reprimand.

Local school teacher Luke Hudak, 34, is seeking to give Essex County voters the option of a different county clerk this November.

Consequently, veteran partisan hack Winfield Belanger is once again laboring to keep an opposition candidate off of the ballot. Belanger, a former Matt Doheny operative, is an old hand at this.

Belanger has apparently decided that his role in our democracy is as an obstructionist, and therefore he examines the other side’s nominating petitions with a magnifying glass and a fine-tooth comb, searching for reasons to raise objections to signatures and addresses on non-Republican nominating petitions.

It’s game-playing, and it’s an insult to the people of Essex County.

There are legitimate reasons to closely examine nominating petitions. After all, no one wants the dead, the opposed, or the non-existent to propel a candidate into office, or even onto the ballot. However, these are not Belanger’s concerns.

You may be interested to learn some of the reasons that Belanger, the vice chair of the county GOP committee, so strenuously objects to the efforts of those who have signed Hudak’s petitions.

Belanger alleges that Hudak’s petitions contain grievous infractions such as abbreviations; a printed name (rather than cursive) in a signature box; an incomplete address; a name that does not exactly match the proper name on the voter’s registration; and an address that does not exactly match the address at which the voter registered.

He claims that on one petition the “town” field wasn’t filled in, that on another the voter wrote “Schroon Lake” rather than “Schroon,” that a voter neglected to include the date, and that one petition’s witness did not include their own complete address.

This is only a partial list.

It is reasonable to ask whether these are sincere, legitimate reasons to object to the efforts of Hudak’s volunteers and the preferences expressed by the voters who signed these nominating petitions — or whether Belanger’s objections are simply the ploys of a seasoned insider.

Those of Belanger’s ilk would likely respond that this is simply the way the game is played.

The people of Essex County, however, may not appreciate such games.

Another partisan activist, Shaun Gillilland, recently told the Adirondack Daily Enterprise that any alleged errors on Hudak’s nominating petitions raise questions about Hudak’s fitness for the position of county clerk.

Though disingenuous, this is a clever argument.

Voters should be aware that Hudak’s nominating petitions were collected by volunteers, not by the candidate.

Last week, the Essex County Board of Elections validated 307 of Hudak’s signatures — enough to put Hudak on the ballot this November.

Subsequently, Win Belanger filed a lawsuit to keep the voters of Essex County from having a choice this fall.

What is he afraid of?

Is there nothing more worthwhile to which he can devote energies than keeping Luke Hudak off of the ballot?

The people of Essex County would be better off if Belanger devoted his apparently copious amount of free time to activities such as volunteering for organizations like the American Red Cross or Habitat for Humanity rather than devoting his time to keeping Democratic candidates off of the ballot.

Such charitable activities, however, would doubtless fail to provide the same sort of thrill to a devoted party hack.

With time, though, even the likes of Win Belanger may find a way to enjoy public service.

‘Race the Train,’ a true success To the Editor: The 13th running of Race the Train was filled with excitement on a beautiful day.

Runners from as far away as California joined to participate in the 8.4 mile race.

Among the 250 racers were many of our very own Johnsburg Central students and teachers. It was inspiring to see racers spanning generations from age 14 to 74.

The winner of the Men’s Division was Paul Allison, now residing in Jericho, Vermont, finishing the race in 46 minutes and 19 seconds! Devin McGlade of New City, NY was the top female finisher, with a time of 58 min. 53 seconds. A short one mile family run took place after the main race with around 20 participants racing.

Our sincere gratitude is extended to Saratoga and North Creek Railway for hosting Race the Train and making a generous monetary donation to Johnsburg Dollars for Scholars. Thank you to Rhonda Morris, her family and Adirondack Runners for cohosting the race this year. Special thanks go out to all our sponsors, particularly North Country Imports, Morris Management Group, TC Murphy Lumber, Basil and Wicks, Stephenson’s Lumber, Adirondack Spirits , Braley and Noxon Hardware, Glens Falls National Bank, Creative Stage Lighting, Stewart’s Shops, Saratoga and North Creek Railway, Upstate Insurance Agency , Izzy’s Market and Deli, and Garwood Boats.

Also, thanks to Stewart’s, TOPS Market, Jacobs and Toney’s, Biscuit’s Bakery and Café Sarah for generous donations of water and food. A big thanks goes out to all the local

businesses who contributed to our raffle and offered special discounts to our runners.

Lastly, we would like to thank the many volunteers who helped in all aspects of the race. There are many tasks to oversee such as timing, food preparation, water stations, registration and safety details. Without each and every volunteer, we could not have staged this race. The proceeds from the race will assist Johnsburg Dollars for Scholars in funding scholarships for JCS graduates as they continue their education. Again, many thanks to everyone for making the race a success!

Let the Voters Decide To the Editor: Essex County candidates Brian Barrett and Luke Hudak, running for County Judge and County Clerk, respectively, expect to conduct vigorous campaigns this fall. Will they be able to, or will the incumbents and their operatives play an inside game to keep Barrett and Hudak off the ballot?

Judge Richard Meyer was unopposed in his first campaign for his county court seat. County Clerk Joe Provoncha has faced a challenger only three times in the past quarter-century. (In 2012, Provoncha admitted to improper behavior at the taxpayers’ expense and was fined $3,500 by the Essex County Ethics Board.) Power corrupts.

Objections to the signatures on Barrett and Hudak’s petitions have been made in a coordinated attempt to force them off of the ballot. These objections have not been made by average voters, who would, of course, prefer a choice, but rather have been brought by partisan agents who fear contested races.

The people of Essex County should decide who our next County Judge and County Clerk are, not partisan objections that seek to game the system in order to remove opposition candidates from the ballot.

Let the voters decide.

Broken bid process in Warrensburg To the Editor: Today at 4:30 there was a special board meeting held in Warrensburg. Its’ purpose was to open the bids for the roof and window replacement project.

Unfortunately for the taxpayers, only one bid was received and it was for over $100,000. Final approval was tabled until the engineer could review the bid but all the board members expressed comfort with the amount and the process. Why the town would combine to disparate projects (Roofing and Windows) into one bid beats me and why they seem so ready to accept and move forward with only one bid is not right for the taxpayers.

How can the taxpayers have any confidence they are getting the best price when only one bid is received. This is not the first time this has happened. Just recently only one bid was received for a vehicle. To my knowledge the local economy so hot that only one business has time or product for these contracts.

I’m sure they followed the minimum standards for advertising of bids but is minimum effort really in the best interest of the residents of Warrensburg?

Police Relocation Causes Safety Issues To the Editor: We, the Concerned Citizens and Neighbors of Ticonderoga, have several public health and safety concerns regarding the relocation of the police station into the Armory maintenance building. We would like to share these with the community.

• Sex offenders will be reporting to the police station. This will bring them into close contact with our children who use the Armory for after school and Silver Bay YMCA Teen center programs, dances, Biddy Basketball, and a number of other activities. St. Mary’s School and its school playground are also in the immediate neighborhood and the Ticonderoga High School is nearby at the south end of Amherst Avenue.

• Increased traffic flows will occur in an already heavily traveled neighborhood. This will not only include Amherst Avenue but Champlain Avenue and all the other streets within a close proximity to the proposed location. We have been informed that a single patrolman may make as many as 20-25 trips to the station during a 12-hour shift. In addition, there will be other visitors arriving to the station for number of other reasons.

• Well-intentioned police will be put in a no-win situation as they attempt to respond to emergency calls from a location that does not make logistical sense. They will have to contend with other vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists coming or going, including senior citizens parking and walking to the Senior Center, children at the Armory, attendees for both St. Mary’s Church and the Church of the Cross as well as special events, to name but a few. In an emergency where every second counts, you want the police to be able to respond as quickly as possible without potentially putting others in harm’s way.

• In relation to the police exiting onto Champlain Avenue the Supervisor has stated that only a dire emergency will call for the police to use Amherst Avenue. This means that the police will be using Champlain Avenue as their primary means of entrance and exit. As long-time residents we are still unsure of how the police would navigate the confluence of Champlain Avenue and The Portage at high speeds safely, especially during the winter. Visitors to our area are even more perplexed. Many visitors use The Portage to take their boats to Lake George or visit Mount Defiance. The sidewalks along Champlain Avenue are often used by both pedestrians and children on bicycles, especially when there are events at the Armory. Church of the Cross attendees park on both east and west sides of Champlain Avenue, limiting sight distances for vehicles exiting the Armory property heading north (toward downtown) on Champlain Avenue.

The potential for an accident, which is already very high, will multiply when the police start using Champlain Avenue as their primary means of entrance and exit.

We implore the Board to seriously look at the neighborhood impact of this proposed move. Public health and safety should be the overriding criteria when making this decision. Relocating the police station to the maintenance building will endanger both the health and safety of children, seniors, visitors, and residents.

COMMENTARY

Little Bits Charlie Chaplain went to sea...

Gordie Little

Columnist

T

hanks to readers who responded to last week’s column about shoes. Some people had more; but most had less foot clutter in their closets than I. do. A friend named Mary told me she still saves old shoelaces.

Kaye and I were talking about Charlie Chaplain eating shoe leather in a movie.

We sit on our deck and sip hot coffee each morning.

We exchange the kind of chit chat young lovers always do. We challenge each other with trivia and vie to see who spots the first hummingbird of the day in the morning mist.

Suddenly she started to chant, “Charlie Chaplin went to sea, silver buckles on his knee.” It struck me as hilarious. I replied, “No, no; it was Bobby Shafto.” “I like it better with Charlie Chaplain,” she said. We laughed again.

We do that a lot.

Between us, we tried to conjure up all the lyrics and verses of the ancient nursery rhyme. I copied the first printed version of “Bobby Shafto” and all the subsequent iterations I could find. To both of us, it is always amazing how kids supply their own words based on how they hear a rhyme.

Writers do much the same.

I remember learning Bible verses as a young boy. My version of the Lord’s Prayer was, “Our father who art in heaven, Harold be thy name.

I traced “Bobby Shafto” back to the first printed version in 1805 and learned that he was a real person from County Wicklow in Ireland.

He left this world in 1737.

Through the years, others have claimed the original Bobby Shafto was somebody else entirely. No matter. It’s the lyrics I’m most interested in. Earlier versions indicate that he had “silver buckles at his knee” rather than “on his knee.”

A line in the second verse reads, “Bobby Shafto’s bright and fair, Panning out his yellow hair.” A newer version says, “Bobby Shafto’s fine and fair, Combing down his auburn hair.” And, still another: “Bobby Shafto’s fat and fair…”

So it goes. Sing it any way you like; in Gaelic, if that is your pleasure. Like many other nursery rhymes, additional verses have been added over the years. How many do you know? In any case, Shafto always comes back to marry the singer and that’s exactly as it should be.

I don’t know for sure, but my guess would be that Charlie Chaplin never heard of Bobby Shafto. Or should it be spelled Shaftoe?

— Returning for its third year to Otis Mountain in the scenic Adirondack Mountains of Elizabethtown, NY, The Otis Mountain Get has announced a unique and diverse lineup of 30-plus acts. The 2015 Get Down will start on Friday, Sept.

11, and end on Sept. 13. Check suncommunitynews.com for more on the festival!

Second, our paper which is free to pick up, or for the majority of you is delivered right to your home; would carry a printed list of current gigs to attend.

But we can’t print a weekly list of everything!

So, we will pare down the list and give you the Northern Highlights. For the most part, organizations that enrich our communities, without making a profit will make the cut and be on our list.

If you have something, you really need our readership to know; you might want to purchase a small announcement. See the ones on the side of the facing page, the ones next to the Calendar of Events? Those are the ones I am referencing.

They are not very expensive, and if you think whatever you have to say is important enough to purchase an ad, then it will put it in the calendar, with guaranteed placement.

Third, my column will be full of tips, and interviews of upcoming events.

Every time you visit our calendars, you should leave with a pocket full of options. You have my word on it!

Linda Dolly is the coordinator of arts and entertainment for Sun Community News.

www.suncommunitynews.com/events for the latest events

elcome to our redesigned publication. I was hired to help organize and spotlight the best events and activities in our area, via a Calendar of Events.

When I first saw the spots they wanted to fill, I was a little apprehensive.

My doubt was probably rooted in my memories of high school.

Let me explain. It was the seventies. Not clear enough?

In my teens, I used to suit up with the other athletes and take the bus to games.

It is amusing because, I didn’t enjoy sports, and was horrified when I was put into an actual game. However, for two sports a year I took the risk, because riding the bus was one of the best social activities of my high school.

With these memories firmly imprinted on my subconscious, I wasn’t sure I could unearth enough legitimate activities. I have selected the word “legitimate” because, personally, I can make an interactive game out of any situation.

Unfortunately, not everyone believes a swift game of “Empty the Dishwasher Fire Brigade” is fun. So, I was pretty sure I couldn’t get away with a bulleted list of ways to play “Fire Brigade.”

With a concerted effort we began compiling a list. It began when everyone working in our offices, funneled all their personal and professional “activities” related emails in my direction. Additionally, Susan, in our Ticonderoga office and Gayle, Maureen and I, in Elizabethtown, spent a week scouring the internet for regional venues.

We discovered there are gads of lists. Lists like islands of information…standing alone. There isn’t a lack of activities, but discovering them all in one place was certainly a challenge.

For example, yesterday, I went on-line in searching for such a list from a business I knew had interesting activities every week.

In my search, I found beautiful photographs, but that was not what I was looking to find. So, I hopped in my car to visit the owner. I told her about my column and asked why I couldn’t find anything to put next to her name.

She said, you weren’t on our official site. When she took me to her official site, sure enough there were many

entertaining things in which to participate. She printed 12 pages, and handed them to me.

Of course, you understand, I could only smile. If people didn’t know her official site, they would miss something cool.

And she certainly wasn’t the only game around.

Certainly, we needed one list. One place where everyone could go, and find out what their options were.

Now, hold onto your hats, because I think you are going to love what we have devised.

First there is a fantastic online calendar. Our strategy is to create a humongous, illustrated events list. If your business or organization who has something to promote, we want you to hop aboard.

Just log on at suncommunitynews.com/events.

Then move your cursor up to the top of the page, click “Add Event” or something similar.

Type the information you would like to share in the provided spots. If you have a photograph, add it! When you hit “Publish”, you will be helping create one of the area’s best There is no charge for what is essentially an online ad.

Even better, use our calendar on your website. Share your news and the details of other happenings in the area with your clients. And, again, free as our mountain air for an individual or business....But of course there are more elaborate options if your calendar need is heavy duty.

Fresh Air program ties urban kids to Adirondacks Fresh Air Fund gives children a chance to spend time with local families, learn about N. Country

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@suncommunitynews.com

SCHROON LAKE — About eight years ago the Smith family of Johnsburg began a tradition of opening up their home to a disadvantaged New York City child.

Fast forward to 2015, the boy — now a teenager — is thought of as part of the family.

Kim Smith and her family got linked up with the youngster, Nicolas, through a program called The Fresh Air Fund.

“I just thought it was a great idea to get a child out of the city,” said Smith, who lives in the North Creek area. “I believe this program can really change a child’s life.”

She’s not alone. Since the 1870s, the organization has helped give children from New York City a chance to get out and experience life away from the hustle and bustle of the jammed subways and crowded streets of the five boroughs. The Smiths and other Adirondack families represent the lifeblood of the 138-year-old program that has created bonds and memories between generations of city dwellers and rural residents.

On average, around 4,000 children annually visit host families in rural, suburban and small town communities across 13 states and Canada. Officials say since its inception the program has aided more than 1.8 million children. In 2015, an estimated 24 families throughout the Adirondacks had opened their doors and arms to Fresh Air children.

Fatima Shama, executive director of the nonprofit, said the simplicity of the program is a big part of why it has lasted for so long.

“They get to swim and see the beauty of what a star-filled sky can look like,” Shama said.

Various social service agencies connect the children with the program. Fresh Air children include boys and girls from age 6 to 18.

The first time they visit children are between 6 and 12. They stay with their families for up to two weeks on the initial visit. After those first trips, many are invited back by their host families, sometimes for longer periods of time. It’s common for host families to say their experience with the program has been as enriching for them as it is for the inner-city youths.

Shama, who recently took over leadership of the group, said she was drawn to it by the possibility of helping further develop intervention opportunities to transform lives. Besides lining up host family sites, the group also operates summer camps for about 3,000 New York City youths on a 2,300-acre site in Fishkill, N.Y. It also has yearround programs including a career awareness program.

LOCAL FAMILES INTEGRAL TO MISSION The Fresh Air Fund has rooted itself to the Adirondacks and other parts of the country by establishing a committed volunteer base that includes local contact points and coordinators.

Donna Moses, who serves as a local coordinator for the High Peaks region of the Adirondacks, first became involved with the group in the late 1990s. In 2015, Moses said the organization has host families in Lake Placid, Crown Point, Port Henry and Westport. In the southern part of the Adirondacks, families are hosting in Schroon Lake, Brant Lake and North Creek, she said.

Moses said a large point of pride for the organization has been how it has carefully adopted and implemented a screening and background check process. Smith and others spend time throughout the year visiting homes and sharing details about the organization with prospective host families. “We want to focus on getting more families in our area to do this,” Moses said.

There’s a constant demand for more Donna Moses, far right, and her husband Kevin Moses, far left, open up their home during the summers to boys and families to sign up and host, local girls from New York City. The Moses family is among a group of families across the region connected with The Fresh coordinators said late last month, Air Fund, a nonprofit group that provides children from disadvantaged communities a chance to experience what life but it still may be possible to get is like beyond the city.

After a prior summer with the Moses family, Michelle was invited back in 2015. She enjoys seeing local animals, eating ice cream and swimming with Lydia.

Beyond clearing a thorough background check, families say that hosting requires a desire to learn. They say those interested ought to be able to provide the child with a comfortable place to sleep, but there are no financial requirements. Host families can also request the age and gender of the child. Local businesses and organizations also pitch in through contributions to make community outings easier on the pocketbook.

An important aspect of the program is also an interest in engaging with children who have been shaped by growing up in New York City.

Kevin said he’s benefited by being exposed to big city culture, thanks in part to training trips down to New York.

The program has also helped the Smiths become educated about Nicolas’ life in the city.

Both families acknowledge that parting at the end of a visit with their Fresh Air children brings some heavyhearted feelings. “It is hard to say goodbye,” Smith said.

But Smith said they see that as an opportunity to learn about keepMichelle, a Brooklyn girl involved with The Fresh Air Fund, spends time with fellow youngster, Lydia, of North Hudson, at the Schroon Lake beach in late July ing in touch through email and other forms of communication.

Give the gift of Fresh Air It’s not too late to share with a underprivileged city child the wonder and adventure of an Adirondack summer.

The Fresh Air Fund, a New York City-based organization is seeking volunteer families to host a child in their home for 7, 10 or 14 days. Local representatives conduct a screening and aid with a detailed background check process before children are placed.

Each summer, close to 4,000 children visit volunteer host families in rural, suburban and small town communities across 13 states from Virginia to Maine and Canada, officials said.

Local organizers say there is a high demand for volunteers in the Adirondacks. For more information about becoming a host family contact Donna Moses at 518-532-0381 in the High Peaks; Christine Catlin in the lower Adirondacks at 518-320-0944; or visit freshair.org.

She said that construction work to convert the barn and outfit it, expected to cost $4 million, would begin this week.

She said that the Etain team of expert horticulturists, assisted by their employees, would begin growing marijuana in the building in six to 10 weeks, as the plants take three months to mature — so they can be harvested and processed into tincture before the state’s deadline of Jan. 30 arrives, Peckham said.

“We’ll meet the state’s timeline,” she said.

The 20-to-25 general-labor jobs available soon are to pay from $12 per hour to $18 per hour, plus benefits, she said.

The job openings will be posted soon on a website that’s now under development, as well as on an Etain page on Facebook, Peckham said.

Hillary and her mother Amy Peckham, Etain’s Chief Executive Officer, said they couldn’t yet estimate the enterprise’s annual revenue, as the number of qualifying patients hasn’t yet been identified — and the state has yet to determine the selling price of the medical marijuana tincture.

Plans call for the medical marijuana extract to be sold through 20 dispensaries, of which Etain is to develop four — and Hillary, Amy and Hillary’s sister Keeley have decided to locate those storefronts in Albany, Westchester, Ulster, and Onondaga counties. The nearest one is to be on South Pearl St. in the city of Albany.

The sites were selected after all three of the Peckham women toured the state, Amy Peckham said.

Work was to begin Aug. 5 on renovating and expanding the barn.

A large greenhouse is to be constructed on the north side of the barn.

Selected to supervise growing the plants was Phyllis Underwood of Shushan Farms, who Hillary said was a master grower.

After the press conference Sen. Little praised the Peckhams for their persistence in creating this new enterprise.

“I really admire all you have put into this huge undertaking, without knowing the outcome,” she said of the planning and application process that has been estimated to cost the family nearly $1 million so far. “It is admirable that you were willing to take that investment risk and personally dedicate your time and talents to make this happen in New York State.”

Hillary deferred credit to officials of Warren County and the town of Chester.

“We are hugely grateful for all the support we received through the application process,” she said. “We will be giving back to the communities that have been so supportive.”

Chester Supervisor Fred Monroe hailed the state’s choice of Etain.

“This is a great day for our town and Warren County. This new manufacturing enterprise here is a big plus not only for the local economy, but for the whole region,” Monroe said. “Twenty-five to 40 jobs in Chester is equivalent to many hundreds of jobs in Glens Falls or Queensbury.”

The union-level wages — and the fact that members of the Peckham family will be at the helm of the enterprise — will be much appreciated in an area where low-paying jobs have been the norm, and stable jobs with decent wages are relatively scarce, Monroe added.

“The Peckham family has a long-term presence in the Town of Chester — a history of providing good-paying jobs with solid benefits,” he said.

Warren County Economic Development Corp. President Ed Bartholomew offered his thoughts this week.

“This woman-owned family business is to be congratulated for their hard work — and assembling a key support team,” he said, crediting Gov. Cuomo and the selection committee for choosing Etain and its site in the Adirondacks.

Little surmised that the license award selection panel had snubbed the prominent national corporations because the group wanted the business to be local, with roots here and responsive to their communities. It has been reported that the large corporations had made promises of contributing millions of dollars to research in an effort to obtain the licenses.

Little said she had voted for the state’s medical marijuana bill, noting she has a 10-year-old niece who suffers seizures, and that doctors say the substance might reduce their frequency and severity.

Hillary Peckham said her grandmother suffered from ALS before passing away, and that medical marijuana would likely have improved her condition substantially in her later years.

“We’re grateful for the opportunity to help patients in New York State,” she said, noting that she and family members would be working with non-profit organizations to line up subsidies for qualifying patients who can’t afford to purchase the medical marijuana extract.

Etain publicist Steve Stallmer said that the Etain enterprise could grow substantially in the future, as more marijuana therapies are developed and approved. He said that the operation could multiply in size, and so could the number of high-paying jobs.

Don Butler of the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance said that the jobs were vital for the southern Adirondacks, and would be providing a substantial boost to the local economy.

“I’m excited,” he said. “It’s hard to get business going within the Blue Line, and these guys are doing it.’

Event lineup this weekend is impressive

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE — With a wide array of festivals and other events scheduled, this weekend may be the busiest of the year in northern Warren County — with fun activities planned for both area residents and visitors of all ages.

Likely to draw the largest crowd is the Queen of the Lakes Festival, to be held from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 8 and 11:30 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 9. Set on the new Festival Commons in Lake George’s Charles Wood Park, the event features a lineup of blues and Americana roots bands on Saturday — and a roster of tribute artists on Sunday portraying Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Johnny Cash.

Saturday evening, the Glens Falls Symphony Orchestra is to present a concert, followed by fireworks — to which they will provide a musical accompaniment.

Activities for children over both days will include pony rides, a petting zoo and a climbing wall. A beer and wine tent will be on site.

In the rural town of Stony Creek, Stony Creek Mountain Days Fes-

tival is to be held from Aug. 7 through Aug. 9.

It starts out Friday night with a country-rock band performing live, followed by a two-day festival Saturday and Sunday that celebrates rural heritage with local crafts, mountain music, a historical encampment, demonstrations, and children’s activities including nature presentations. See elsewhere in this issue for details.

An age-old tradition in Stony Creek, Mountain Days is capped off Sunday with lumberjack competitions with contestants from all over northeast U.S. and Canada participating in such feats as axe throwing and log sawing.

Also occurring Saturday and Sunday is the Silver Moon Pow-Wow, an intertribal gathering featuring Native American dancing, drumming, songs and crafts at Fort William Henry in Lake George. The action is ongoing both days from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

In Bolton Landing, the hamlet’s renowned lakeside arts and crafts festival, held in Rogers Park, will offer intriguing discoveries both Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m..

Up north in Chestertown, singer-actress comedienne Laura Roth will be presenting her show “Public Energy No. 1” at 7:30 p.m. Sat-

urday in the Carol Theater on Main St. Roth has been called a “show stopper” by the New York Post and “one of the world’s leading cabaret singers” by Show Business newspaper. She has performed extensively off-Broadway in Manhattan as well as in Atlantic City resorts and in London and Paris.

On Sunday, Aug. 9 at noon, a ceremony is to be held at Fort William Henry observing the 258th anniversary of the Fort’s surrender by the British to French forces.

All these events are preceded by the Aug. 7 installment of Fridays at the Lake - Brews & Bands event which features the New York Players band from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

“Everybody on that team — regardless of playing time — improved this season,” Baker said.

Kelly’s mother Diana Kelly echoed the coach’s sentiments, noting that a number of this season’s players have

been teammates since they played together on the GinoÕ s little league team, including her other son Danny.

“Gino’s!” is a chant regularly heard at games, she said.

Diana said the coaches were an integral component of this yearÕ s championship team.

“The coaches really go above and beyond,” she said.

“They have no kids in middle league, and they still do it — for the love of the game.”

As for the coming regular season, Diana said these players will continue to excel on WarrensburgÕ s J.V. and Varsity teams. Ò They are going to be a force to be reckoned with,” she said. Ò ThereÕ s no stopping these kids.”

Hudson Headwaters to hold Community Champions Dinner BRANT LAKE — The Hudson Headwaters Health Foundation will hold its tenth annual Community Champions dinner Sunday, Aug. 30 at Jimbo’s Club.

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden

One Hundred Years Ago – August, 1915

Silent movie released On Feb. 8, 1915, D.W. Griffith’s epic landmark silent movie, “Birth of a Nation” was released. It contained 12 reels of film and focused on the Civil War and the reconstruction period after the war. Actress Lillian Gish was the starring actress. It has been a commercial success and audiences have flocked to see it although it has been highly controversial and did nothing to advance civil rights. The original title was “The Clansman.” (Note – after the movie was released, the Ku Klux Klan was inspired to form that same year.)

One small slip, major big disaster While attempting to stand on a chair in the barber shop of the Ordway Hotel in North River, Thursday, Aug. 5, 1915, to place an oil lamp in a bracket, William LaGoy, a barber, slipped and fell from the chair. The burning oil from the broken lamp ignited the freshly oiled floor and within an hour the hotel and all its contents had been reduced to ashes.

LaGoy, who hastened to his room on the third floor to save his personal belongings, was unable to leave the structure by way of the stairs because of the flames and he jumped from one of the third story windows. He was injured but not seriously.

The loss of the hotel and contents, owned and conducted by William Lynch, is estimated at $20,000 with $6,000 in insurance. About $500 in currency was lost in the fire by the proprietor and the twenty guests that were registered.

Owing to the lack of fire fighting facilities in North River, a call for aid was sent to North Creek and thirteen automobiles, carrying men, were rushed to the scene but all efforts to save the structure were fruitless. The hotel stables were saved.

LaGoy was substituting for Howard Farrington, who was enjoying a week’s vacation, and was following out the usual custom of lighting the lamps and placing them in the brackets, when he slipped from the chair with one of them, after having lighted the wick.

The hotel was built about twelve years ago by George Ordway, of North River and was one of the most popular hostelries in the Adirondacks. It had accommodations for fifty guests. Five years ago Mr. Ordway disposed of the hotel and business to Mr. Lynch, who had since conducted it. It is understood that Mr. Lynch will rebuild.

This is the second hotel that has burned on the same site, the first one being known as the North River Hotel. It was owned and conducted by W.H. Harrison of that place.

Pasko Park bandstand completed The bandstand in Pasko Park, built by popular subscription among the uptown business men, was completed Friday by G.E. and G.W. Farrar. It is a neat platform of octagon shape surrounded by a railing and provided with electrical lights. Chairs will be used as seats.

There was a bee Saturday afternoon to paint the structure and the job was quickly and neatly done by John Archway, D.C. Remington, Edward Young and Walter Lane, A primary coat was then given and the finishing touches were put on last night, Aug. 4, 1915.

The cost of the structure was more than the estimate and there is a deficit to wipe out for which contributions will be thankfully received. Abe Katz is the collector. The band concert announced for Tuesday night, Aug. 1, 1915 to christen the new bandstand was called off because of rain.

(Note – The original Warrensburgh bandstand, built in 1915, was a simple affair with a raised platform with no roof that once stood in Pasko Park, on land owned by Alexander T. Pasko who owned and conducted a harness shop down the street, next door north of today’s Glens Falls bank. To be sure that the little piece of land remained a public park and to save it from commercial use, Lewis E. Crandall, Louis E. Reoux, Michael and Thomas O’Connor and Milton N. Eldridge purchased it and deeded it to the town with the provision that it be forever maintained as a town park. The general area, south of the park, was later owned by Alexander’s son, Emerald Pasko.

The Floyd Bennett Bandstand, designed by architect and Warrensburg native Paul B. Gurney, was built in 1929 on the spot of the original bandstand. A memorial monument and flagpole was dedicated on Memorial Day, 1931 in memory of Bennett, a celebrated

Good neighbors, nice gesture This photo was given to Jean Hadden, many years ago, by the late Jeannette Henry, the wife of former supervisor Calvin C. Engle and shows, possibly some of her relatives, posing in 1915 at the construction of Warrensburgh’s first bandstand.

aviator who died in 1928, in a ceremony attended by his wife, Cora and mother, Henrietta Bennett.

Today, a hundred years after the first bandstand was built, the Floyd Bennett bandstand is again being rejuvenated.

A gentleman called me recently and inquired as to what ever became of the majestic tall wooden flagpole that once graced the park, which was once regularly painted by native son and steeplejack Dave Culver. Does anyone know?)

Going separate ways It is reported from an authoritative source that a separation has been arranged between Assemblyman H.E.H. Brereton and his wife, Mrs. Helen Loop Brereton, who have a palatial home at Diamond Point.

It is understood that Mr. Brereton will retain the home in Diamond Point and will continue to make his permanent residence in Warren County. Mrs. Brereton, according to rumor, will reside in Lake George during the summer months but will pass his winters either in California or Florida.

(Note – It was only three months earlier, in May, 1915, that an attempt was made by a robber to burglarize the Brereton home at Hillview (Diamond Point) when Mr. Brereton, the only occupant in the house, was in his study and Mrs. Brereton was out for a walk with two of her maids. When she returned she discovered a man on the top floor of the house. Mr. Brereton armed himself with a revolver.

Shots were fired and the thief managed to slink into the shadows and make a getaway.)

Bolton youth drowned Douglass Morehouse, 19, was drowned in Lake George on Tuesday afternoon while bathing at Bolton Landing. He was hanging to the stern of a rowboat and losing his grip sank to the bottom. The body was quickly brought to the surface but all efforts at resuscitation failed.

He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Morehouse, a brother, Floren and a sister, Eva Morehouse, all of Bolton.

Smith suffers broken arm Justice of the Peace Thomas W. Smith, while engaged in moving a book case at the Richard’s Library, Monday morning, Aug. 9, 1915, broke his right arm at the wrist. Mr. Smith, while holding on to one end of a bookcase, tripped and fell, the burden he was lifting came down upon his arms with a crash, making a clean break at the wrist.

Dr. D.J. Goodman attended him.

The men of the community of Bakers Mills got together on Tuesday, July 27, 1915 and cut and put into the barn all of Lewis Sawyer’s hay, except a couple of loads which were drawn the following day.

Mr. Sawyer came home from the lumber woods, earlier in the season, ill of pneumonia. He is slowly recovering but can not work as of yet.

“The Flirt,” coming to Music Hall Warrensburgh is to be favored by a visit from Ruth Dean and her own special company, the local band having completed all arrangements for their appearance in Music Hall, Tuesday evening, Sept.

21, 1915 when the bright and breezy three-act comedy, “The Flirt,” will be presented. This play is Miss Dean’s biggest stage success and where ever she has presented it, return engagements have been requested. The play was written especially for the talented young star.

(Note - “Music Hall” was on the north corner of Main Street and Adirondack Avenue and there was a large hall with a stage on the third floor. After a previous building on the lot burned, Music Hall was built in 1893 and later burned in a spectacular fire on Dec. 27, 1950.)

Sweet and sour notes A furious gale of wind, hail, rain, thunder and lightening visited Wevertown on Monday, Aug. 9, 1915, the most severe of the series during the continued storms. We are having such rain that farmers are having a hard time to get their haying done. There has been rain in Bakers Mills every day. We hope for better weather after we get a new moon on Aug. 12, 1915. Native hay is sold locally for $16 a ton.

Grasshoppers are at large in Chestertown and are doing as much damage as they can and eating everything they find.

R.B. Kenyon began operating his new Garford automobile truck, Thursday, July 29, 1915 on his Warrensburgh – Glens Falls express and freight line. He makes two trips a day, morning and afternoon and is receiving liberal patronage.

On Thursday night, July 29, 1915, a good sized crowd of Warrensburghers attended LaTena’s Circus at Lake George.

A son was born to Mrs. Michael Moynihan and he has been named Michael Jr. In Diamond Point, Don Miller’s baby has been very ill.

Wallace Gates and Miss Jenkins, of Diamond Point, are wed.

George Rice and Miss Fannie Monroe, both of Warrensburgh, were married Tuesday, March 9, 1915 by the Rev. Thomas J. Hunter at the Baptist Church.

William Meade, of Warrensburgh, has joined the army of automobile owners with a 1916 model, five-passenger Overland car.

The proceeds of the ice cream social recently held in Johnsburgh were $9. The people who “staid” at home missed a good time.

The Leland House, at Schroon Lake, owned by the Emerson brothers of Warrensburg, built after the big fire, is having a record season.

The hotel is under the direct management of James A. Emerson and he has achieved success equal to no other.

Thurman’s North End Local Showcase activities THURMAN — Thurman’s North End Local Showcase will feature artist Anne Rohe, co-owner of Adirondack Ambiance gallery of art and rustic furniture Saturday, Aug. 8.

The North End Local runs to North Creek on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, twice daily, at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Visitors may travel to Thurman Station via Great Glens Falls Transit trolley from Lake George and Warrensburg for a small fee.

Also on Saturday, visitors are welcome to visit Nettle Meadow Farm, 484 South Johnsburg Rd., for a free guided farm tour followed by a tasting of their nationally-distributed cheeses. The tour begins at noon sharp and the cheese shop is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5

p.m.

Thurman Monday Night Concerts in the Park continue with “Music with a Message” in a free performance by The Hartley Family of Arkadelphia, Arkansas, a group which has played for events and at churches on the Adirondack summer scene for several years, on Monday, Aug. 10 from 7 to 9 p.m. This family band was organized in 2003, and performed for several years until the old children, performers in the group, grew up, married and moved out. But the group was not dormant for long, as the younger children honed their musical skills and gave new life to the group.

Said the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, “Tom and Deb Hartley of Arkadelphia may not have intended to create a bluegrass version of the Partridge Family, but that’s more or less what they’ve ended up with.” The band is widely praised by the communities where they play their gospel and bluegrass music. Refreshments will be served

ELIZABETHTOWN — New York State will once again be taking part in the USDA, APHIS, Wildlife Services National Rabies Management Program (NRMP) to halt the spread of raccoon rabies in 14 states. Ongoing evaluation of a new oral rabies vaccine (ORV) called ONRAB will occur in Essex and Clinton counties in the Empire State as part of a study that also includes parts of northern Vermont and New Hampshire. Additionally, field trials in portions of Erie, Franklin, Jefferson, Lewis, Niagara, St. Lawrence and Wyoming counties will occur for the third year in 2015.

These sites were selected in part because of ongoing collaborations with Quebec and Ontario in the fight against rabies to protect human and animal health and reduce significant cost associated with rabies across broad geographic areas. Air and hand distribution of

baits will take place in New York State from August 11-31, 2015.

Oral rabies vaccine (ORV) baits are coated with a fat/sugar/wax attractant and packaged in small blister packs. Anyone finding oral rabies vaccine bait is asked to leave it undisturbed unless it is on your lawn, driveway, or other area unlikely to attract raccoons or other wildlife. Wear gloves if you need to move the bait to an area of thicker cover. If contact occurs, wash any skin or wounds that may have come into contact with ORV baits with soap and warm water, especially if the bait was opened or damaged.

ORV cannot cause rabies; rather it causes an immune response.

In people, exposure to ORV may cause skin lesions or flu-like symptoms. It is not harmful for pets to consume ORV bait, though eating a large number of ORV baits may cause an upset stomach.

by not-for-profit volunteers.

Children at the concert are welcome to frolic on the adjacent playground or visit the Thurman Book Connection library on site. The concert is held rain or shine, under cover. Guests are encouraged to wear layered clothing for comfort. Concerts in the Park are hosted by the town of Thurman at Veterans’ Memorial Field, 311 Athol Rd., just 20 minutes from Lake George Village. Layered clothing for cool evening weather is suggested.

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

N.Y. to participate in Rabies Management Program Rabies is a virus that affects the central nervous system of mammals and is always fatal if left untreated. It is most always transmitted through saliva when an infected animal bites another animal.

Essex County Public Health Department reminds all residents to make sure their pets are up to date with rabies vaccinations and to avoid contact with stray or wild animals. If someone, or their pet, are bitten by a stray or wild animal, wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water, seek medical or veterinarian attention and call Essex County Public Health at 873-3500 (1-888-270-7249 after hours).

Visit co.essex.ny.us/PublicHealth for rabies clinic schedules more information about rabies.
