This Week LOCAL
By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com
WARRENSBURG Ñ The 9.5 million Warrensburg Health Center now under construction on Main St. will provide an unprecedented boost to both health care and vital economic development in the southern Adirondacks, U.S. Rep. Bill Owens said Aug. 13 during a tour of the facility. Owens was in Warrensburg to not only see the construction progress, but to receive an award from a national health care organization for his advocacy work on behalf of health centers nationally. Presenting the award to Owens on behalf of the National Association of Community Health Centers was Dr. John Rugge, founder and CEO of Hudson Headwaters Health Network, the parent firm of 13 health centers in the region including the Warrensburg facility. During TuesdayÕ s tour of the Warrensburg Health Center, Rugge talked of how the facility Ñ double the size of the existing center Ñ is expected to accommodate various additional specialty health services.

Thurman chief blasts councilmen for inaction By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com
THURMAN Ñ Thurman town board members are jeopardizing the town’s financial security by not following through with an environmental remediation agreement with the state, Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Wood said Aug. 6 as she publicly chastised the town board in a special town meeting.
In reading a lengthy statement to the public, she accused the boardÕ s male majority of not only neglecting to take action on complying with a Department of Environmental Conservation remediation plan, but subverting the state Open Meetings Law and making decisions without the publicÕ s knowledge that could cost the town taxpayers dearly. Her statement, more than 2,500 words long, prompted a round of applause from the audience of about 40 people attending the special meeting.
Days later at the regular monthly town meeting, board members Michael Eddy and Leon Galusha Ñ targets of much of the criticism Ñ refuted her allegations. WoodÕ s statement was prefaced by her announcement that she would not be entertaining comments or discussion at the special meeting on the issues raised Ñ an act that prompted complaints from several of those attending including Galusha.

Blown engine? No sweat for teen race-car driver
By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com OLMSTEDVILLE Ñ Local teenaged stock-car racer Jessey Mueller accomplished a virtually unheard of feat Aug. 1 at Devil’s Bowl Speedway by winning a modified stock car race soon after his carÕ s engine self-destructed in a qualifying heat Ñ and his pit crew feverishly swapped his blown engine for a new one. Mueller, 19, was assisted in the dramatic comeback win by his pit crew, which includes a number of people from the southern Adirondacks. One of the mechanics, Rick Hull of Warrensburg, said the crowd in the grandstands witnessing the nightÕ s feature race was astounded with how Mueller was able to pull off a victory with a brand new engine installed just minutes earlier. Ò People couldnÕ t believe it Ñ even the track personnel,Ó he said. Tuesday, Mueller commented on the victory at DevilÕ s Bowl, a popular regional race track located in West Haven, Vt. Ò I knew we had a good team and could get it done,Ó he said. Ò The way it all came together was phenomenal.Ó Hull said that during the qualifying heat for the race, MuellerÕ s car was careening around the half-mile oval asphalt course when a huge cloud of smoke poured out from underneath the hood. Coasting and being pushed into the pit, his mechanics determined MuellerÕ s engine, had blown a piston, Hull said. Ò The engine was totally destroyed,Ò he said. The pit crew heard that the owner of DevilÕ s Bowl had a car with a new engine sitting in a garage on the grounds of the track, and Mueller made a quick offer to buy it, Hull continued. MuellerÕ s mechanics Ñ assisted by the pit crew of well-known Plattsburgh racer Bucko Branham Ñ then worked furiously to swap the motors. One of the pit crews dismantled the blown engine and removed it, while the other group extracted the new
engine from the idle racer. MuellerÕ s crew then installed the new engine in MuellerÕ s modified stock car, re-connecting the carburetor, manifold and all the other vital devices Ñ within about 90 minutes, Hull said. Ò We were busy boys,Ó Hull quipped. After a mere two laps on the new engine to warm it up, Mueller was behind the starting line Ñ in sixth position amongst 14 other race cars. Soon after the race started, Mueller dodged and weaved through the speeding traffic, pulling into the lead with about eight laps remaining in the 67-lap race. Hull said MuellerÕ s pit crew was overcome with emotion as the young driver sped towards the finish line, leaving every other competitor behind. Ò We went crazy Ñ we couldnÕ t believe he was winning after what heÕ d just been through,Ó Hull said. As Mueller careened over the finish line, his many fans

shrieked Ñ then charged the track to celebrate with the grinning Mueller, joined by his family and friends, as well as the two pit crews. Earlier this season, Mueller earned another dramatic win. In a June 20 race at DevilÕ s Bowl, the Olmstedville native was situated at last place on the starting grid, but he battled his way to a first-place victory. MuellerÕ s wins are earning him points toward the championship of the 2014 Northern Modified Challenge Series. Mueller’s pit crew includes Ryan Griffin, Jason Hull and Rick Hull of Warrensburg; Travis Jeffords of Pottersville and JesseyÕ s father Billy Mueller of Olmstedville. In addition to DevilÕ s Bowl, Mueller and crew compete at various race tracks in northeastern U.S. and Canada, including Airborne Raceway in Plattsburgh, Thunder Road in Barry Vt., Stafford Speedway in Connecticut, and Autodrome Saint-Eustache racing complex west of Montreal, Canada. Mueller is sponsored by various enterprises, including local firms McMillen Construction of Chestertown and Mueller & Son Heavy Duty Towing & Recovery of Pottersville — a business owned by Billy Mueller. Mueller, who has already won 10 races in 2014, noted that he started racing at the age of 15. “I won my first race before I got my driver’s license,” he said. To date in 2014, Mueller has already won nine races, he said, deferring credit to his combined pit crews for his latest victory. Ò Winning the race after swapping engines was a cool deal Ñ the guys just didnÕ t give up,Ó he said. Ò Competitors thought we were crazy.Ó ABOVE: Modified stock car driver Jessey Mueller of Olmstedville poses with a trophy he won following a recent race. Mueller, only 19, has racked up a string of wins this year at area race tracks. One of his most dramatic victories this year was when he came in first among over a dozen racers in a 67-lap race soon after his pit crew swapped an engine that had self-destructed in a qualifying heat.

Continued from page 1 The primary focus of WoodÕ s criticisms include the town governmentÕ s lack of action on rectifying road-salt pollution which officials say have tainted one or more wells on or near the town hall property, as well as the town not building a new salt-storing shed and vehicle washing bay as the DEC had ordered. She said the town boardÕ s inaction was putting the town at risk of being fined $37,500 per day of non-compliance, charges that could cause the townÕ s property taxes to soar. She aimed particular criticism for Galusha, who was in charge of the project to build a new salt shed and vehicle-washing basins as well as overseeing work on environmental remediation measures Ñ all of which DEC has ordered months ago. The project to build the shed, although approved by the state, is stalled, and materials bought to construct it are sitting idle on town property, she said. Since the town stopped using the former salt shed, it was razed and road salt has been stored in various highway trucks — which town officials say corrodes the trucks. Replacing the truck beds could cost $30,000 per vehicle, Wood said. After the meeting, Galusha said the delays in the project werenÕ t his fault. Ò The Highway Department agreed to do the work, but later they said they were too busy Ñ

FUND For Lake George plans annual meeting
BOLTON LANDING Ñ The FUND for Lake George will hold its Annual Meeting on Saturday, Aug. 16, from 9 to 11 a.m., at the Sagamore resort in Bolton Landing. Free and open to the public, this year’s meeting will showcase a series of historic “firsts” for Lake George protection. Headlining the meeting will be latest progress of The Jefferson Project at Lake George, The FUNDÕ s bold collaboration with IBM and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to make Lake George Ò the
we donÕ t know why,Ó he said. Ò Highway Superintendent Pat Wood is an elected official, and we canÕ t make him do things.Ó Wood also has accused the three male board members of taking covert steps toward building a new six-bay town highway garage complex on River Road, which she said could cost the town as much as $1 million or more — money the town taxpayers cannot afford. She also criticized board member Michael Eddy for meeting with the town Highway Superintendent Pat Wood and discussing plans for the new garage, which prompted Pat Wood to seek out the services of the town engineer Ñ without a vote of the board Ñ to draft conceptual plans for a new town highway garage and headquarters. Ò The result is an expense the Board didnÕ t authorize, and has no money budgeted to pay for Ñ That isnÕ t transparency in government, and itÕ s a misuse of public funds,Ó Evelyn Wood said. “Having elected officials running up significant bills when they lack the authority to spend the money is an enormous problem.Ó She said that the councilmen hadnÕ t discussed any of the plans with town board member Gail Seaman, who serves as the town boardÕ s liaison with the town highway department. After the meeting, Seaman confirmed that the male board members had bypassed her on the issue of constructing a new highway garage. Eddy was not present at the special town board meeting.

Reading a lengthy statement at a special public meeting Wednesday evening Aug. 6, Thurman Town Supervisor Evelyn Wood blasts the town councilmen for inaction on a DEC environmental cleanup directive, for secretive decision-making, and for pursuing initial plans to build a new town highway garage. She said their actions could be putting the town in financial jeopardy. Listening to her statement are town board members (left to right): Gail Seaman, Leon Galusha, and Dan Smith.

Youth football sign-ups, practices scheduled WARRENSBURG — Officials of the Warrensburg Youth Football organization have scheduled practices and sign-up sessions, and the latter is already underway. For children going into the third through sixth grades, football practices are to be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. each weekday, beginning Monday Aug. 18. The Senior team accommodates children in grades 5 and 6, and the Junior team, youths in grades three and four. Those children seeking to participate in football are urged to show up at the first practice to sign up for the program, which teaches sportsmanship and fundamentals of football Ñ while children obtain healthy exercise and enjoy the sport.
Health Center
Continued from page 1 This is to be accomplished through an expanded partnership with Glens Falls Hospital and area practitioners. The new specialized services include cancer care, asthma care and cardiac care. Services to be expanded include ear, nose and throat health; urology and neurology; as well as obstetrical and gynecological services. He said that the facility will be equipped and staffed to provide primary care for 8,000 people in Warrensburg, Thurman and portions of adjacent communities, and a total of 25,000 people in surrounding communities as well as Warrensburg. Rugge said the new health center should be open in February, and that the move of equipment and furnishings from the present health center will be accomplished in two days with no interruption of services to patients. Former Warrensburg resident Dave Moynehan, a long-time business owner and community activist, was among those taking the tour. Moynehan serves on the Warrensburg Health Center Advisory Board, and heÕ s been a member of the Warren County Economic Development Corp.Õ s board of directors for 12 years. Ò This new center will be spectacular for all of the southern Adirondacks, considering all the new services that Hudson Headwaters will be offering here,Ó he said. Moynehan added that heÕ s witnessed the substantial growth of Hudson Headwaters since the 1970s, when it was launched with the Chester Health Center, followed by the Warrensburg center that opened in an empty grocery-store building Ñ which it will soon vacate. The chain has grown over 40 years to 14 health centers in the region. Ò I donÕ t know what the North Country and its residents would have done without Hudson Headwaters over all these years,Ó he said. The chain now logs 300,000 patient-visits annually. Hudson Headwaters Board Chairman Joe Kelly of Minerva
Flag football practices, for youths entering first and second grade, begin Sept. 4. Sign-ups are conducted on that date, or they can be accomplished earlier by contacting the coaches of the standard football teams. The league competition start Sunday Sept. 7 with the annual Ò CombineÓ featuring a half-dozen teams in scrimmages. This yearÕ s Combine event is to be held in Hudson Falls. For starting time and directions, contact a youth football coach or call one of the numbers in this article. The weekly league games, which begin Sept. 13, are routinely held on Saturdays through October, with a few on Sundays. Players must attend at least 10 practices before participating in the Combine or the league games. Registration fee is $60 for regular football and $35 for flag football. For details, contact Susan Shepler at 623-3072 or quilts12@verizon.net. Ñ or coach Brian Winchell at 222-2503.
J. Gallup Farm said he was impressed with how the Warrensburg Health Center was taking shape. Ò The whole North Country will be utilizing services here,Ó he said, noting the center will have expanded hours of operation. Warrensburg Supervisor Kevin Geraghty listened to Rugge describe the future flow of patients over the floorplan, and where the health centerÕ s 48 exam rooms would be located. Ò This facility, along with Hudson HeadwatersÕ additional services and practitioners, will be bringing the regionÕ s health care into the new millenium,Ó Geraghty said. Ò Along with the new services, weÕ ll have many more local jobs Ñ itÕ s a real boon to the area communities.Ó Nearby, Owens offered his thoughts. Ò This new center will not only provide critically important services, it will be a huge economic driver, with jobs, local commerce and sales tax,Ó he said. Rugge noted that Owens, during his five years in office, had served as a valuable resource for information on federal health center financing, which has evolved considerably in recent years. “He knows the financing issues in enormous detail,” Rugge said. Ò HeÕ s been fantastic.Ó Rugge talked with Owens how many older area residents are wary of going to an array of different specialist sspread over the Capital District, and how they far prefer visiting one health center for specialized care Ñ interacting with people they know and trust. Owens said he understood the benefits of keeping health care close to home. Ò ItÕ s critically important to deliver health care as local as possible Ñ itÕ s not only is better for the patients, but it keeps communities alive and makes them more sustainable.Ó Removing his hard-hat after the tour, state Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury) said he was impressed with the new facility. Ò This health center will be a huge asset for northern Warren County for decades to come,Ó he said.

Yet another roadblock to the ACRP project
I
nvasive species, like the spread of deadly algal blooms, has dominated headlines this summer. The issue received a boost last month when Kirsten Gillibrand, New YorkÕ s junior Senator, visited Lake Placid to champion the Invasive Fish and Wildlife Prevention Act, one of the three proposed Great Lakes Bills that would accelerate the federal governmentÕ s review process when it considers whether to ban the importation of animals and plants, among other measures. Combating invasives is a bipartisan issue that has sweeping ramifications across the region. Their pervasive spread costs the federal government damages of $120 billion per year and their presence in the Adirondack Park Ñ including blue algae, milfoil, zebra mussels and the spiny water flea — has the opportunity to derail the chief economic driver of the region Ñ tourism, an industry that generated $144 million in local taxes last year and is the keystone to the North CountryÕ s future, one that complements emerging developments in the biomass energy industry, agriculture and international trade sectors. Excessive amounts of algae, alongside manmade contaminants, chokes off oxygen and leads to dead zones within bodies of water, places where life cannot exist. Readers may be familiar with the problems facing Lake George. There, dead zones have been reported, little storms of stagnation Ñ pockets of slimy algal ooze paired with synthetic pollutants that have posed as a mortal threat to aquatic survival. Exhaustive efforts are under way to keep these combatants in check, including a proposed study in September that will enlist volunteers to scope the shores for the Asian Clam. Another example of a dead zone is Tupper Lake. Beneath the austere gunpowder-gray sheen of Big Tupper belies a sense of unnatural gloom. While the lake itself is just fine, a recent peek into the human habitat shows a disproportionate percentage of those fortunate enough to be working are employed in the public sector, a number expected to shrink as restructuring at Sunmount Developmental Disabilities kicks a wider swath into a struggling private sector that often, has no place for them. The invasives threatening Tupper Lake are the two radical environmental organizations who threw up another roadblock to the Adirondack Club and Resort Project earlier this month with another legal challenge. The motion, filed by the two groups made in the Appellate Division, Third Department, is just another ruinous attempt to flush people out of the Adirondack Park, a coordinated action attempting to destabilize the economic stability of the region

to pursue their fanatical environmentalist agenda. Earlier this summer, a state appellate court voted 5-0 that the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) did not err in awarding Preserve Associates the permits to undertake the largest construction project approved by the APA, the construction of 600 vacation homes near the Big Tupper Ski Area. The announcement follows the 10-1 ruling in 2012 that the APA conducted a thorough review and the project would not have an adverse environmental impact on the 6,000 acres in question, 90 percent of which were to remain undevelopment after years of negotiations with various stakeholders. Environmental organizations are an integral component to the Adirondack ecosystem. They act as indispensable counterweights to commercial interests and their advocacy is often overlooked by natives who are often frustrated at navigating the cumbersome bureaucracy that is an unfortunate counterpart to our unparalleled natural beauty. The Adirondack Council led the charge on forcing Adirondack Club developers to implement greener energy standards and to reduce potential light pollution. They also pushed for clustering that would have reduced the amount of development across the acreage and more intensive wildlife studies to be conducted by the APA. Despite their efforts, they failed on the last two accounts and the project continued forward. But the Adirondack Council opted to chalk the defeat up to what they perceived as internal flaws within the organization and have opted to pivot their strategy to influence the discussion in other areas. They should be commended for that. We agree with them that the APA should be compelled to scrutinize those issues when addressing development projects while politely disagreeing to the exact scope. This long-term plan to ensure the discussion amongst various stakeholders in the Adirondack Park remains civil is in contrast to the scorched earth approach favored by the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, spiteful and vituperative legal maneuvering designed to antagonize Tupper Lake residents and stick the people trying to improve the local economy with the court fees in the process. These actions are causing direct economic consequences to good people. Like the fight against the invasives, ensuring the sustainability of the human ecosystem should be an issue that transcends partisan and ideological squabbling. This includes good schools, competitive jobs and a sustainable year-round economy centered around infrastructure development for our small communities. Anything less is unconscionable. — Denton Publications Editorial Board

Turning Back the Pages By Jean Hadden One Hundred Years Ago – August, 1914 Car skids, hits pole, three die
C. Harold Cool, 22, son of former Mayor Charles W. Cool of Glens Falls and two companions were instantly killed at Windsor, Conn., when a high powered roadster in which they were riding skidded and side swiped a telephone pole, crushing the left side of the car where the three killed were riding. Mayor Cool immediately left for Connecticut when he received the news. The three who lost their lives were C. Harold Cool, Allan F. Sisson and James D. Orne. The car was owned and driven by H. Wickoff Mills and the quartet was returning from a hotel where they had dined. The car only had seats for two persons. Mills was at the wheel with Sisson sitting beside him. Cool sat on the floor at Sisson’s feet and Orne was on the running board. According to passengers on a trolley car which the auto passed at a high speed, the machine was going at a fast clip when it struck the pole. The bodies of the victims were found about 20 feet from the pole. Each had sustained a fractured skull. Mills was unable to give a connected story of the accident. He escaped injury and the machine was only slightly damaged. He is being held under $1,000 bond on a charge of reckless driving. C. Harold Cool, employed by the Hartford Insurance Company was looking forward to a promising career. Besides his father and mother, he is survived by one brother, J. Gilbert Cool.
Car turned turtle, boy dies
Francis Murphy, 19, a son of Timothy Murphy, a well known resident of Wevertown, was instantly killed in an automobile accident at 7:40 in the morning on the state road near Pottersville. Young Murphy was on his way to the Pottersville Fair with a new five passenger car which he intended to use for bus service between the village and the fair grounds during the day. At a point near the summer hotel, Ò Under the Maples,Ó while running at a fast speed, he turned out of the road to pass a pedestrian. The wheels on one side of the car ran for a ways in the soft dirt at the side of the macadam roadway and when the car swung back into the road the front wheel crumpled and the car like a flash turned turtle. The young man, who was alone in the car, was crushed under the heavy machine and killed instantly. Nearly every bone in his body was broken. Several cars were following closely. Henry D. Cameron, of Warrensburgh, was one of the first to reach the scene and helped to lift the car from young MurphyÕ s body. A physician from Pottersville was summoned but the unfortunate victim was beyond medical aid. The boyÕ s body was taken to his home.
Walking backward caused tragedy
While playing on upper Main Street, Warrensburgh, with several of his boy companions, Charles Wilsey, the five year old son of Orson R. Wilsey, was struck by an automobile from New Jersey, Saturday morning, Aug. 8, 1914 and only by good fortune escaped injury or death. The little fellow was walking backward across the street in front of his fatherÕ s market and despite his companionÕ s warning, failed to see the automobile which was slowly approaching. The chauffeur, realizing the ladÕ s danger, applied the brakes but could not stop the car in time to overt the acci-
dent. The boy was struck by one of the mud guards and thrown violently to the macadamized road. He was picked up in a semiconscious condition and taken to his home by the occupant of the car. He was attended there by Dr. James Goodman who found no bones broken and little injury. The chauffeur was in no way to blame and had his car under perfect control.
Look out below
Amasa Griffin, after drinking a glass of water from the faucet in D.E. CameronÕ s store in Lewisville, Warrensburgh, Tuesday evening, Aug. 11, 1914, stepped backward into an open trap doorway and fell to the bottom of the cellar. One arm was broken and his legs and body were severely bruised. He was carried to his home nearby where Dr. J.E. Goodman attended him. In other local news, Alice M. Stone, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Stone, died Saturday afternoon, Aug. 8, 1914, of convulsions at the family home in Lewisville
Death claims resident
Lewis Hack, 54, a life long resident of Johnsburgh, died July 3, 1914 at his home in that place. He was highly respected by all who knew him. In the midst of extreme suffering, as he neared the end, he held firm to a deep religious experience. Often during the last days he assured his friends that he was most happy and was patiently waiting to go to his eternal home. He is survived by two sons, Jesse and Beecher Hack and one brother, Willard H. Hack of Johnsburgh. Internment was in the Hack Cemetery. (Note – “When the Sea of Life shall end and my ship at anchor lies, at the customs be my friend, with my passport let me rise.” Joseph C. Booth.)
Lake George claims victim
Douglass Morehouse, 19, was drowned in Lake George, Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 11, 1914 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.
Mystery solved
Ervin J. Smith, a former Glens Falls boy, now assistant manager of the New York office of the William J. Burns Detective Agency, recently brought additional fame to himself by locating and obtaining from Thomas Piptone, a confession which solved the mystery surrounding the disappearance of $150,000 from the banking house of Redmond & Co., of New York City. Piptone was in charge of the foreign exchange department of the bank. Mr. Smith began work on the case at one oÕ clock in the afternoon on Monday, Aug. 3, 1914 and by three oÕ clock the next afternoon, he had his man. In his confession, Piptone stated that he had lost all of the $150,000 in the stock market. After his arrest Piptone made an unsuccessful attempt at suicide. Mr. Smith is now devoting much of his time to the study of the finger print system with a view of becoming an expert in this line of work. Possessed with almost indomitable energy, he never rests until he has accomplished what ever task he has in hand. (Note – In July, 1915, Smith formed the Ervin J. Smith National Detective Agency at 13-21 Park Row, New York City. He was a personal friend of former President Teddy Roosevelt.)
Krazy Kat a double winner
Krazy Kat, the fast little boat owned by George C. Reiss, a Sagamore cottager, won the Fort William Henry loving cup for the second time in the feature race of the Iroquois regatta at Lake George, the last week of August, 1914, and thus gained permanent possession of the trophy. Mr. Reiss also won the Mirror Cup for traveling over the course faster than any other small boat on Lake George except those which competed recently in Bolton for the championship of North America. The time was equivalent to thirty-two miles an hour. (Note – George Reiss was a racing legend on Lake George. The first official boat races took place on the lake in 1906. Reiss won the gold cup in 1933, 1934 and 1935 with his boat, El Lagarto, which at 72 miles an hour, was called “the fastest boat in the world.”)
Nightmare hordes attack farmland
Grasshoppers have swarmed over the farms in Saratoga County in such numbers that the fields are black with them. Millions upon millions of the insect pests are flying from one field to another, stripping them as they go and leaving nothing behind them. Thousands of dollars of crops are being destroyed each day by the hungry hoppers whose numbers are constantly increasing. A resourceful farmer has invented a machine to fight them which has the appearance of a flying machine. It is mounted on runners and can be drawn over the meadows and grasslands, sliding over the growing crops without injury. Six bushels of grasshoppers were scooped up in two hours with the machine recently.

Citizens coalition to bid on G.F. Civic Center By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com
50692
GLENS FALLS Ñ This week, the city-owned Glens Falls Civic Center Ñ which has hosted British supergroup Ò The Who,Ó as well as legendary jam-band Phish Ñ and was once the home base of the AHL Adirondack Red Wings hockey team Ñ will soon be up for grabs at a bargain price. With the public auction of the city-owned Glens Falls Civic Center set for Aug. 18, a coalition of area community and business leaders has formed with a mission to keep the civic center locally owned and managed Ñ and assure that the fabled arena continues to draw people to the area. The auction, set for 11 a.m. in the centerÕ s Heritage Hall, features a minimum bid of $1.5 million, a mere fraction of the building’s present-day construction cost. City officials have reserved the right to refuse any and all bids. Also, any new owners would have to follow through with the cityÕ s three-year contract with the Adirondack Flames AHL hockey team, according to the bid specifications. Facing the prospect that a buyer might in following years convert the civic center to a new use Ñ or even raze the building, this group of concerned citizens first met just several weeks ago to see what they could do to assure the civic centerÕ s future as a sports and entertainment venue, according to Ed Moore, a lead member of the group. Moore owns and operates the French Mountain Commons mall in Queensbury. This group, the Coalition to Save our Civic Center, plans to place a bid at the auction. Moore said Tuesday Aug. 13 that the Coalition seeks to raise $750,000 to $1 million or more to purchase the arena. In the first 10 days following Moore’s recent announcement that he’d personally match up to $250,000 in private investments toward the purchase, the Coalition has lined up nearly $400,000, he said. “Were raising more money every day, $1,000, $5,000 or $10,000 at a time Ñ WeÕ re closing in on what we need,Ó he said. Ò A bunch of people that are passionate about the Civic Center believe that it is a remarkable asset for our region.Ó Another anonymous person has promised a matching pledge of $50,000, according to reports. The group is seeking to form a public-private partnership to own and operate the center with Warren County providing some of the financial backing — and Glens Falls continuing to play a role, Moore said. The coalition includes Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce President Peter Aust and Miller Mechanical president Elizabeth Miller. To make a pledge towards the mission of the Coalition, contact Aust at 798-1761 or Moore at 792-1483. Glens Falls officials have put the civic center up for auction because of the centerÕ s costs of ongoing upgrades totaling an average of about $300,000 annually. For many months, city officials have lobbied Warren County to provide annual support for the civic center. Recent appeals to the county by Glens Falls Mayor Jack Diamond for money have been rebuffed, prompting the announcement of a public auction of the arena. Since auction was set, Warren County supervisors who believe the civic center is a valuable regional asset have been lobbying their counterparts to commit to appropriating money towards the center’s operation, up to $700,000 or so annually. Several proposals were made, including raising the 4 percent county occupancy tax to 5 percent, an initiative which State Sen. Betty Little said wouldnÕ t be supported by state legislators. A more recent proposal has been to dedicate occupancy tax reserve funds to the civic center, or take the $30,000 share each municipality now gets from the occupancy tax receipts and divert it to the venue. Friday Aug. 1, the supervisors serving on the county Occupan-

cy Tax Committee balked at making any decision on the proposal. Bolton Supervisor Ron Conover said that earmarking money for the civic center Ñ without knowing the auctionÕ s outcome Ñ would be premature. Board of Supervisors Chairman Kevin Geraghty said that decreasing the townÕ s share of occupancy tax wasnÕ t a good idea, as the allocations promoted events that were important to the commerce and culture of the local communities. Ò Taking the money away from the towns is the wrong approach,Ó he said.
Citizen activist: ‘Form a public authority’
The supervisors, however, reacted with positive comments to a suggestion aired by John Salvador of Queensbury, known as a political watchdog and frequent critic of local governments. He suggested that the county form a public authority to operate the civic center under a public/private ownership. Citing one vintage county resolution after another, he said that enabling legislation had been passed by the state legislature about a decade ago giving the county Ò home ruleÓ to set up such a Ò convention and sports authorityÓ that could draw on occupancy tax funds. Committee Chairman Supervisor Bill Kenny questioned SalvadoreÕ s assertion, but referred the issue to county Attorney Martin Auffredou for an opinion. After SalvadoreÕ s presentation, Geraghty said the idea of a sports authority had merit. Ò This concept would work, as long as we have the right business leaders serving on the authority,Ó he said. Ò The civic center is a regional asset Ñ and maybe we need to look at redistributing the occupancy tax funds.Ó County Treasurer Mike Swan also said the concept would be viable, noting the continuing increases in occupancy tax receipts. Salvadore also noted that occupancy tax collections could and should be extended to property owners who rent out their residences for weeks, yet are not now paying the so-called Ò bed taxÓ as specified in the existing law. Ó We could increase our receipts substantially without raising the occupancy tax rate,Ó he said, suggesting also that existing awards for events be more closely scrutinized. In addition, he proposed that the existing Glens Falls Civic Center Foundation contribute to the center Õ s operational expenses. Salvadore went further, saying the legislation is in place to institute a general tourism tax, which could be extended to tourism attractions, including amusement venues, taverns and restaurants. He proposed that this tourism tax be initiated at one percent of gross receipts. Ò A tourism tax this small wouldnÕ t hurt anybody,Ó he said. Tuesday, Moore said he was pleased that some county supervisors were thinking regionally, and considering the concept of a sports authority in a public-private partnership. Ò These are positive developments, and weÕ re optimistic,Ó he said. Glens Falls Mayor Jack Diamond said he was impressed with MooreÕ s coalition and other proposals to keep the civic center a regional destination for years to come. Ò IÕ m glad to see people are finally looking at the civic center as an important regional asset, and how passionate some people are about it,Ó he said, adding that the auction would go ahead as planned, and that city officials will then be reviewing their options. Ò WeÕ re going to go through with the auction, and see what the real estate market values the civic center. One thing for certain, city taxpayers cant afford to support the civic center ay longer. Hopefully, there will be positive results.Ó

Vote approaching on elementary school roof repair project By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ The local elementary schoolÕ s roof is leaking so badly that school personnel are setting out buckets to contain water dripping through the ceiling Ñ and the school district is seeking local residentsÕ approval of a building project to replace the entire roof. A referendum to spend as much as $1.24 million to repair the roof is to go before the school district residents in a vote set for Tuesday Sept. 16. Warrensburg Central Schools Superintendent John Goralski provided an overview of the project Aug. 11. Plans call for the project to receive $880,000 in state aid, and the remainder of the sum is to be drawn from a capital reserve account Ñ endorsed by district voters in May Ñ which contains money left over from a previous project to make renovations to the high school, Goralski said. The project will not require any additional money from taxpayers, he continued, so approval of the project will have no impact on the tax rate. Installed more than 20 years ago, the existing roof has deteriorated substantially and canÕ t be patched up, Goralski said. Water has saturated insulation located directly underneath the roof, and water has also been running down into the walls and ceilings of the building. Ò Our maintenance department has done everything they can over the years to address the leaks,Ó he said, noting that roof repairs are to begin next spring Ñ after the state education officials approve the project. He said plans call for the new roof to be in place by Sept. 1, 2015. Ò ItÕ s not a glamorous project, but it needs to be done,Ó he said. Goralski added that thereÕ s no evidence yet that the walls or ceilings have begun to mold or mildew, and the districtÕ s architects and engineers have predicted that black mold or other hazardous conditions arenÕ t likely to develop over the next year. The $1.24 million is to be bonded over 15 years, and the state aid is to be paid to the district in installments over that time, paying for the loanÕ s principal and interest. The project includes removing some asbestos found in the existing roof flashings. The solar panels installed on the elementary school roof just months ago will be removed temporarily then repositioned on the new roof. A public information meeting on the project is to be held at 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 8 in the Warrensburg High School Library. The Sept. 16 vote is to be held from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m..
The roof on Warrensburg Elementary School is leaking so badly that school personnel have been putting out buckets to catch water dripping through the ceilings. A proposition to replace the roof is set for Tuesday Sept. 16. Because state aid is paying for the bulk of the project and the remaining funds have already been set aside for repairs, the $1.24 million project is not expected to raise local taxes whatsoever.

Crossbow comments T Fish tales, camp fires and a speckled mousetrap
O
ver the course of the past week, I have stumbled across two unique new experiences that have threatened many of my long held wildwood beliefs. The first occasion was an incident that occurred on a small, local river that still hosts a healthy population of wild, brook trout. Over the years, IÕ ve paddled and fished these waters and taken a fair share of healthy brookies. Most of the fish are released, but on occasion, one or two manage to migrate onto a grate, suspended over the coals of a hardwood fire, where the meat bakes pink, and the tail curls carefully until done. Such was the case on a recent fishing foray, when a young angler hooked into a handsome fourteen inch brookie which weighed about two pounds. It was downright fat for a river fish, so we decided to keep it for the grill back at camp. However, when we cleaned the fish, and inspected the contents of itÕ s stomach, we were both surpised to discover far more than the usual bugs, flies, beetles and minnows that can be expected. There, right in the middle of itÕ s stomach, was a fully developed mouse, long tail, whiskers and all. In all my years of angling in the Adirondacks, from lakes to ponds to streams and rivers, IÕ ve never come across such a sight. Certainly, IÕ ve tossed rubber mice lures to a few largemouth bass, and IÕ ve even watched Northern pike take down a ducking or two. But IÕ ve never heard of brookies eating mice, although it is entirely feasible given the current over population of the long tailed rodents throughout the Adirondacks. In fact, I would propose the state consider stocking all of our waters with a lot more of those mouse-eating, brook trout, as IÕ m getting tired of setting traps every evening.
Backcountry travelers still smoldering over proposed campfire ban A recently released management plan for campers traveling in the recently acquired Essex Chain of Lakes Primitive Area will prohibit the use of open fires at established tent sites and any place within 500 feet of a body of water. “Although actual fire sites are usually quite small, a more serious aspect involves firewood gathering, which by itself causes widespread and often severe impacts,Ó states the Essex Chain of Lakes Management Complex Unit Management Plan. Ò This activity greatly increases the area of disturbance around primitive tent sites and it is common that the disturbed area can be 10-20 times greater in size than the actual primitive tent site zone. Campfires consume wood which would otherwise decompose and replenish soil nutrients.Ó According to the Unit Management Plan authors, Ò This is the most effective way to protect the ecologically sensitive areas directly adjacent to the lakes and ponds.Ó While I understand the need for Fire Protection, and an occasional Ô closing of the woodsÕ during times of high fire danger, I do not believe the matter of campsite esthetics should be use an issue in a location as the Chain Lakes, where human disturbance is not likely to be as great as it has been in the High Peaks Wilderness, where a similar ban has been in place for several years now.
The argument just doesnÕ t hold water, as there is so much wood available in an around the Chain Lakes, and all along the access roads. In addition, the draw of the High Peaks Wilderness has and will continue to be much greater than that of the Chain Lakes Primitive Area; which will compete with over a dozen similar canoe areas including the Five Ponds, the St. Regis, Lows Lake, Indian Lake and the 90 mile water highway through the park from Old Forge to Saranac Lake. I do not believe it is possible to enjoy an authentic Adirondack wilderness camping experience when subjected to such absurd man- made rules. Give the campers more credit! Certainly, there will always be an occasional campidiot, who cuts down a green leafed tree and tries to burn it. But the same knucklehead would do that in any area, Wilderness, Primitive or at a Pay by the Night State Campground. Try though they may, the DEC simply cannot regulate such camp-idiots out of the Park. But it appears they may have made the first step at regulating out all of the responsible users. A comfortable campfire has long been considered a crucial component of the American camping experience Fire is a magical element that cares for us in over a hundred ways. It is part of the tradition. For tens of thousands of years, outdoor travelers have used fire for a variety of purposes ranging from cooking to clearing. Fire also provides warmth, security and a necessary source of light against the imposing darkness. Since the times when men gathered around campfires to relate tales of the hunt to the uninitiated, the mystical magic of a flickering flame has provided more than just creature comfort to campers, travelers and wanderers alike. Campfire stories don’t carry much weight when they are related to a group that’s huddled around a flashlight or battery operated lantern. Such contrivances hold little sway against the imagined bears, monsters and boogie men of a camperÕ s dreams. A camp fire provides psychological and physical comfort, and as campers become mesmerized by the flickering light; they often succumb to a drool-inducing, million mile stare that cannot be replicated by any thing man-made. Fire is made with all natural ingredients and it makes us come alive with a flickering, sparking, snapping, cracklin, popping magic that canÕ t be duplicated. The sight of a thousand sparks climbing into the dark night air is as common to campers as the bright stars above. To camp without a fire is to canoe without the water; it can be done but it is an exercise in futility. In more modern times, camp stoves have replaced the wild flames as they are more convenient, and practical for purposes of cooking. But a camp stove is of no use when using a Dutch Oven, or a Reflector Oven. Toasting marshmallows over a gas range just doesnÕ t have the charm aofan open flame. Gas lanterns may provide the necessary light in camp, as do a host of flashlights, candle lanterns and any number of other LED gizmos that can be strapped on, hung from or otherwise scattered about the camp. Yet, there is no psychological glow, just a stark, blank white light. There is no mystery and no scent, nor sound. In fact, electric, and even gas lamps are the antithesis of everything we retreat to wild camps to escape from. We go to rough it, maybe on the easy side for most, but the purpose of camping is to rekindle a more primitive spirit that still remains hidden deep within our souls. We want to recapture that felling, if only for a spell, if only for the night. To deny that privilege is to deny the experience entirely. I go to enjoy a snapping, sparking, barking campfire and the sweet scent of birch bark mixing with the balsam scented air. Small fires are much easier to control and manage. They are useful and not wasteful. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of all campers, who are often out of control, full of the waste they leave behind and typically of no use when they are in the woods. No method of regulation will overcome that attitude, Dude!

he crossbow will be a legal hunting tool this fall, and has really stirred up the hornetsÕ nest. While at Lincoln Pond hydrating one afternoon after cutting firewood, I had a discussion with a friend, John. I realized many of us donÕ t know a whole hell of a lot about crossbows and DEC laws concerning their use. So, I started researching them a bit. Confusion abounds! The crossbow has been controversial to many traditional bow hunters, due to the season and because a crossbow is cocked and ready to shoot, while a traditional bow must be drawn back and By Rich Redman held manually until the shot. The season issue dealt with it cutting into either traditional bow hunting or muzzle hunting dates. That has been settled and is now in the law. There is also a concern about jacking. But the way I see it, if they are gonna jack deer, it doesnÕ t matter if crossbows are legal or not, jacking is illegal, no matter what they use. Just like guns, criminals will use them if they are illegal or not, and regis- One of the crossbows at Norms you can evaluate! tering guns or banning them is not going to solve the problem. Like many changes in hunting equipment, this is one of personal preference. A traditional long bow was replaced by the recurve, then the compound bow, just like the flintlock, the muzzle loader was replaced by the percussion cap and then again by the in-line using a 209 primer ignition. Round balls replaced by sabots. To me, itÕ s a hunterÕ s personal preference. I am looking into crossbows because of the way I like to hunt deer. I am not a sitter. I have tried sitting in a tree stand, but itÕ s just not for me. After an hour or so in a stand I start to seize up and need to move, besides, I like to wander, find sign and discover new places. I would prefer to move, find a spot to sit awhile, move again if needed. The crossbow would allow me to do that easier than a traditional bow. ItÕ s my style and IÕ m sticking to it! Crossbows may be used during the following seasons: Crossbows may be used to take bear during the early bear season, early muzzleloader season in the Northern Zone, regular firearms seasons in the Northern and Southern Zones, and the late muzzleloader season in the Southern Zone.
Conservation
Conversations
Crossbows may be used to take deer during:
Early and late muzzleloader season in the Northern Zone and late muzzleloader season in the Southern Zone using Bow/Muzzle tags, DMPs, DMAP tags, or an unfilled Regular Big Game tag (late season only) ; regular firearms seasons using a Regular Big Game tag, DMPs, or DMAP tags. Crossbows may also be used to take deer or bear during limited portions of bow hunting seasons as follows, provided that the hunter possesses the muzzle loading privilege: During the last 14 days of the early bow hunting season in the Southern Zone (i.e., November 1 - November 14, 2014); During the last 10 days of the early bow hunting season in the Northern Zone (i.e., October 15 - October 24; this includes the 7-day early muzzleloader season in the Northern Zone); Only Bow/Muzz tags, DMPs or DMAPs may be use during these times. A muzzle loading stamp is required, not a bow stamp. A “Crossbow Certificate of Qualification” card must also be carried along with your license. See the NYS DEC HUNTING guide for all of the crossbow season dates and legalese! I donÕ t want to lead you down the wrong road. Do your homework! The crossbow choices are enormous. There are draw weights, width and length of the bow, speeds, all of which must be considered, and meet DEC law. New York State Department of Environmental Conservation law is now out regarding the crossbow construction, size and draw weights required. This is directly from the DEC website: A bow, a string, and either compound or re-curve limbs with minimum width of 17 inches (tip of limbs, uncocked). Mounted on a stock with a trigger and working safety that holds the string and limbs under tension. A minimum peak draw weight of 100 pounds and a maximum peak draw weight of 200 pounds. A minimum overall length from the butt of the stock to the front of limbs of 24 inches. A minimum arrow (bolt) length of 14 inches. (For big game, the arrowhead must be non barbed, 2 or more cutting surfaces at least 7/8” wide). The interesting part about all of this is now choosing a crossbow to purchase. Like everything else itÕ s a learning process about whether to choose a recurve or compound crossbow. Both have pluses and minuses. I am a MacGyver type that likes to fix things myself. I also like keeping things as simple as possible, so I want something I can work on and is bomb proof. I want the workhorse cake, and not the frosting. I havenÕ t decided what to get yet, I am still researching, but there are many considerations to look into. There is the manufacturer and warranty, speed of the bolt in feet per second, noise factor, weight, along with cocking aids like rope versus crank. After that, you get to choose scopes, red dot versus optical. Then there are package deals with slings, extra bolts or arrows and of course you need the broad heads and case and other assorted gadgets and goodies. More decisions to make and more fun to have in the field this fall. So if you are considering a crossbow this hunting season, check out the NYS-DEC regulations first, do your homework, and then research the crossbows available. I stopped at NormÕ s bait shop in Crown Point and chatted with Brian. I got to hold one and feel the weight and compare a couple they had on hand. If you want to see, touch and smell them before buying, stop in Norms to check out one. I donÕ t know of any other place in Essex County to get one, it may take a trip to Glens Falls, Plattsburgh or Vermont, it sure isnÕ t Wally world. For older guys, the disabled, and especially our disabled vets, this is a great opportunity to get out and enjoy deer hunting once again. By having more access to state land, and the use of crossbows, many of the barriers that stopped folks from hunting can be torn down. Our Vets earned that! Traditionalists can use a longbow or a flintlock muzzle loader, that’s their choice, but for me, I like a good shotgun for birds, a bolt action rifle and now, maybe a crossbow to do my hunting.
