Moose Fest Is back Indian Lake event planned

Beach Road project completed, Gov. Cuomo honored

By Ryan Edwards

ryan@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE — Gov. Cuomo announced last week the completion of the $6.3 million dollar upgrade to the parking-lot, access road and boat launch at Lake George Beach — also known as Million Dollar Beach.

Lake George Town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson said the project is not only an improvement to the popular tourist attraction, but a benefit to the environment as well.

Dickinson also lauded the expediency of

the project — which he said was completed entirely by Memorial Day — noting that laborers often worked 24 hours a day under lights.

“It was lickity split,” he said. “They were in and out of there, and they did a great job — they really did.”

Funded through N.Y. Works and State Department of Environmental Conservation capital funds, the project includes a parking lot paved with porous asphalt, new stormwater management infrastructure, reconfigured traffic flow and a relocated and refurbished

‘Sportsmen’s Weekend’

boat launch. The boat launch includes a boat inspection and boat wash station to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.

BOAT LAUNCH IMPROVEMENTS The newly configured and relocated boat launch is more suitable for launching larger boats and will be open throughout the boating season. The previous location was closer to the beach and, for safety reasons, could not be open when the beach was open.

The boat launch, located east of the Lake George Beach House, has the capacity for 26

boats, including the tow vehicle and trailer, between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day while the beach is open. During the remainder of the boating season, when the beach is closed and the parking sites reserved for beach goers are available to boaters and can accommodate 200 boats and trailers.

A New boat wash station was installed in the parking-lot at the boat launch to help prevent the spread of invasive species in and out of the lake. >> Story Continued | pg. 21

‘Voice’ winner to play concert at Painted Pony Rodeo

By Ryan Edwards

ryan@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE LUZERNE — The Painted Pony Ranch will top off its final rodeo of the season with a concert from Craig Wayne Boyd, winner of season seven of NBC’s “The Voice” in 2014.

The rodeo and concert will be held on Saturday, Sept. 5, and the price of admission for the combination event is set at $30.

Kids 3 and under get in free.

After 10 years of song-writing with little reward, the Texasborn-and-raised multi-instrumentalist was on the verge of quitting music when he auditioned for “The Voice,” where, with the help of coach Blake Shelton — as well as a brief stint with Gwen Stefani — he went on to win the competition in December 2014 and earn himself a record deal on a major label.

Boyd’s Facebook page, with over 153,000 “likes,” describes the artist’s sound as “dynamic and charismatic,” and “rooted in the southern tradition of country music and topped with a rebellious flair.”

Painted Pony owners Shana and Shawn Graham followed Boyd throughout the season and were excited to see the country singer take the top prize. For the Grahams, having Boyd close-out their season was a no-brainer.

“We just thought it would be a great fit,” Shana said. “We’re going to go out with a bang.”

The Grahams are no strangers to hosting distinguished guests at their rodeo, as the Painted Pony has seen concerts from a number of big names in the country music industry in previous years, including Jason Aldean and Bucky Covington.

The concert will be held after the rodeo at 8 p.m., right in the rodeo arena. Audience members can elect to either sit in the covered grandstands or stand inside the arena to watch Boyd perform from the stage which hosts a panel of announcers during the rodeo.

Prior to the rodeo, the Painted Pony will host its iconic Texas barbeque, featuring smoked barbecue chicken or ribs, fresh salad, buttered corn, creamy coleslaw, barbecue baked beans, hot apples and cinnamon, hot dogs, pickles, dinner rolls and watermelon.

Barbecue only tickets are $14 for adults, $6.50 for kids 12 and under and free for kids 3 and under.

Tickets can be purchased online at paintedponyrodeo.com or at the Painted Pony’s main office. For more information, including group rates, call the Painted Pony at 696-2421.

Craig Wayne Boyd, winner of season seven of NBC’s “The Voice,” will perform a concert after the Painted Pony’s last rodeo of the season.

Moose Fest returns to Indian Lake

INDIAN LAKE — The moose has been making a slow but steady comeback in the state in recent decades, and the Indian Lake community is ready once again to celebrate its return to the Adirondack Park.

Hyde Collection hosts Warhol-inspired art battle

By Ryan Edwards

ryan@suncommunitynews.com

GLENS FALLS — What do a levitating mushroom, a Greek goddess of war and the Martha’s Dandee Creme logo all have in common?

If you guessed that all three were brushed onto canvases at the Hyde collection’s “A Night at the Factory” art battle last Thursday evening, you’d be correct. If you came up with another answer, you’re probably an artist.

The battle — featuring three, three-artist teams representing the Hyde Collection, Lower Adirondack Regional Arts Council (LARAC) and the Shirt Factory Arts and Healing Center — pitted three local arts organizations against each other in a friendly competition designed to embody the spirit of the Hyde’s summer exhibition.

All summer long “The Late Drawings of Andy Warhol: 1973-1987,” is on display at the Hyde, organized by The Andy Warhol Museum — one of the four Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh.

During the late 80’s when these drawings were created — a number of which are on display for the public for the first time at the Hyde — Warhol’s New York studio “The Factory” served as a gathering place for other artists, literati, socialites and various celebrities, as well as the site of his famous collaboration with artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Accordingly, this community-outreach event was designed to recreate the synergistic atmosphere of The Factory and of that particular collaboration, complete with a show bill to mimic the iconic poster of Warhol and Basquiat sporting boxing gloves and cold stares as if to advertise an upcoming fight.

“A Night at the Factory celebrates the factory of artists and art enthusiasts living right here in our community,” said Erin Coe, director for The Hyde Collection. “The arts community here is flourishing, and tonight is a great example of that.”

The nine artists competing in the event were Evi Fisher, Grace Ross and Michael Coughlin representing the Hyde Collection; Jenny Hutchinson, Philip Casabona and Liz Parsons representing LARAC; and Hannah Williams, Randy Harriman and Rob Harriman representing the Shirt Factory.

About halfway through the battle, Colette Broestler “tapped in” for Ross on the Hyde Collection team.

THE BATTLE Three large canvases were lined up in the museum’s basement classroom, and each team was given two hours to collaborate on an original work of their choosing.

In the meantime, guests meandered in and out of the battle-zone, stopping to admire the Warhol exhibit and snack on refreshments from East End Eatery and Mean Max Brew

Works.

No boundaries were drawn at the battle; the audience was invited to get up close and personal, looking on as the artists coordinated brush strokes and raced the clock to bring their canvases to life.

Hannah Williams from the Shirt Factory team is no stranger to painting in front of an audience, as she has been live painting at music festivals for three years, in addition to adorning the walls of a number of area businesses with her original murals. She said this event was unique in that it worked to establish a connection with the community while simultaneously celebrating the collaborative aspects of visual art.

“I think this is a great way to facilitate and support local artists,” she added.

Jenny Hutchinson of the LARAC team, who serves as the organization’s gallery curator and marketing coordinator, is also used to creating in front of an audience, as well as under time-constraints, at her position as adjunct professor of art at SUNY Adirondack.

“Art is often only seen by the public in its final state,” she said. “What makes this event really special is visitors [were given] the opportunity to partake in the creation of art.”

THE JUDGING When the time was up, the completed works were displayed on the stage in the Helen Froehlich Auditorium, where audience members voted on their favorite painting by dropping a gem in a bucket at the foot of each easel.

The end result of the artists’ creative labors were three paintings which perfectly encapsulated the spirits of their respective organizations.

From the Shirt Factory team: an abstract city-scape behind a floating head emitting beams of light from its three eyes and levitating a mushroom into its mouth from a floating hand — its design as bold and colorful as the artists and artisans who occupy studio space at the Factory.

From the LARAC team: the Martha’s Dandee Creme logo surrounded by the equally iconic logos of such North Country businesses as Stewart’s Shops, Steve’s Place, New Way Lunch, Sandy’s Clam Bar and Davidson Brothers — a true marriage of art and community befitting of the not-for-profit promotional organization.

From the Hyde Collection team: a realistic vernal landscape in the foreground juxtaposed by a kaleidoscopal dripping of vibrant color and an abstract goddess-figure as its central image — a lesson in texture and form from a team comprised of the museum’s curator of education and two of its museum educators, who regularly teach art classes in the very room in which it was created.

The audience cast their votes, and a final gem-count revealed that the LARAC team

were the victors of the Hyde’s first ever art battle.

As the winning piece, their painting will be displayed at the sites of all three organizations in the near future.

THE FUTURE Coe said the Hyde Collection staff will get together for the “postmortem,” of the battle, at which they will discuss the possibility turning the event into an annual tradition.

For now it’s still up in the air, she said, but given the substantial attendance and the spirit of collaboration which pervaded the museum on a Thursday evening, she said A Night at the Factory will not be the last event of its kind hosted at the Hyde.

Hyde team member and museum educator Grace Ross echoed her sentiments: “I felt that this event was a great experience for our art community to come together,” she said. “It seemed like it wasn’t so much a competition but a gathering of people with common interests from different organizations and followers who aren’t always under the

sameBUY roof.”

Lazy days of summer

s another summer draws to an end and the days grow shorter, we try to squeeze in those summertime activities before the season changes. I recall a time when summer used to be considered the lazy, hazy days, when folks just kicked back a little and let the world pass.

Leisure time, family gettogethers, picnics and, in general, a slow down in the pace of everyday life as we soaked up the opportunity to just enjoy life. Kids enjoyed the last few weeks of vacation and parents began finalizing their back to school shopping lists.

Talk of the town back then was the new TV fall line up that would promptly start in the beginning of September on any one of the three TV networks, the must-have lunchbox design for those heading back to school or the new car redesigns that were an annual event. Back then it was the little things that were celebrated and perhaps were the secret to summer’s slowdown. Sitting on the porch watching the world go by was the perfect end to any summer day.

So where am I going with all this nostalgia? I guess I’m just an old-timer who dreams of days gone past, reflecting on the issues facing the American family. As we pass through these changing times, it’s easy to find fault with the world today and complain about what we don’t have rather than appreciating what we do have.

The birth of a child, a christening, a child’s birthday party, a family reunion or even a child’s sporting event; these are the events that define life and defy the ages. What parent, grandparent, relative or close family friend doesn’t share the same joy today their counterparts enjoyed at any time in the past? The only difference today compared to earlier times is that the events are squeezed into short time spans as life today pulls us all in so many directions.

The solution is to keep your priorities grounded, sharing time with those you love and respect. Enjoy these last lazy days of summer. The world with all its ups and downs, scandals and threats will still be out there when fall returns, but summers are special and each summer should filled with unique memories that last a life time.

It’s time for a new frontier W

hat was once Frontier Town has been a bleak, lifeless sight over recent years — and it’s time for that to change.

The summer brought with it a one-two punch of potentially good news for the former amusement park.

Last week, the State Supreme Court determined Essex County was within their legal right to reject the bid from a local businessman to purchase the long-neglected property, a decision that ended the year-long saga of litigation.

Meanwhile, the Department of Environmental Conservation announced earlier this month final plans for a 40-mile, multi-use trail system that will include a portion connecting Newcomb and North Hudson.

Snowmobilers, horseback riders, hikers, skiers and mountain bikers will all have the green light to use the trail network, which will see segments opened upon completion over the next seven years.

Just think of the potential.

In county hands, and perhaps later that of the town, the property should provide two major benefits in relation to the trail project.

Parking, for one. With ample space just off of I-87, North Hudson is an ideal jump-off for a trail system that also includes Minerva on its southern end. Not only could it fill a need for trailer-hauling vehicle space, but there’s a gas station to boot.

Then there’s the possible connector trail, one that will link parking with the state’s trails and allow users to avoid roadside travel to begin (or end) a journey.

While we have a deep appreciation for the late George Moore and how much the valued businessman did for Keeseville and the surrounding community, the property is stagnant and it’s time to move forward with its use.

Economic picture.

North Hudson is a quiet, struggling town. Or as some residents have put it, a dying one. Need evidence? Just count the empty and abandoned buildings that dot the roadside. The trail network, which has the backing of a panoply of state officials, will bring with it people — people who spend money on gas, food, lodging and more.

Destinations on and around the community connector, branching to Long Lake, Indian Lake and beyond, will surely benefit from an uptick of outdoor enthusiasts bringing dollars inside the Blue Line.

Let’s face it: We live in the park for many of the same reasons so many travel to it year-round. The Adirondack outdoors provide a wealth of nature-based tourism opportunities, whether on foot, wheels or a track. If these opportunities are embraced, and developed in a way that ensures sustainability, our small towns and their residents benefit.

This sustainable model is all part of the vision that has been expressed by a wide range of organizations and policymakers as they bat around ideas for the region’s survival.

Working together is key.

Does the trail plan hinge on the aforementioned use of Frontier Town property? No, but it will allow North Hudson to better integrate into the network.

And what would surely follow if the project plays out as planned, such as lodging or an eatery, translates into local livelihood.

The North County is hemorrhaging jobs. Industries like manufacturing are on their way out, putting increased pressure on tourism to support many of

those who call the area home. Perhaps the biggest winter draw, one that the trail system will support, is snowmobiling.

Use of those machines in particular is oftentimes a dividing topic, but there’s no debating the impact it can have.

Look at Old Forge, Indian Lake or Speculator. The dwindle of visitors as autumn colors fade is short lived as snow brings with it truck after truck hauling sleds. A 2012 SUNY Potsdam study examining the industry’s economic impact in New York put the figure just shy of $900 million, with over a quarter of that coming from the Adirondacks.

But it’s not just about snowmobiles. Bikers, skiers and horse riders who aren’t afforded as many miles of opportunity as hikers will also have trail access — and will probably make a stop in town on the way to or from.

New frontier.

North Hudson may not become a bustling tourism town overnight because of the trail, but it’s certainly a step in a productive direction. Frontier Town, which looks instead like a ghost town, doesn’t beckon visitors to it or North Hudson.

Its acreage and interstate-side location makes it an asset that’s gone unused for far too long, and if the ruling goes unappealed, the town and county can now get moving on a productive use — even if it that just means an initial use as a parking lot.

That could, and should, snowball from there. Perhaps that means the recently opened gas station gets some company in the form of a shop or restaurant to serve trail users. Perhaps Frontier Town sees a new use. The best way to attract good business is just that — good business.

Ever since the park closed, North Hudson has been for many people a place they drive past, not to. Years of inaction hasn’t changed that, nor would it ever.

Build it and they will come, but something has to be built first.

Should the minimum age to buy tobacco be 21?

Democracy not dictatorship

To the Editor: The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issued a press release in July announcing a recently published study that found 3 out of 4 adults support the concept of raising the minimum legal age for purchase of tobacco products to 21. The CDC’s study follows publication of a report issued by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) earlier this year that estimated the number of Americans who smoke would be reduced by 12 percent if the minimum age is raised. Here’s why …

Just 10 percent of adult daily smokers had their first cigarette AFTER turning 19 (See the Surgeon General’s 2012 report, “Preventing Tobacco Use Among Youth and Young Adults,” for more details). What this means is, if a young person gets to the age of 19 without having a cigarette, chances are very good that person will never become a daily smoker. Odds are even better if they get to the age of 26 without a cigarette. Just one percent of smokers had their first cigarette after that.

According to the IOM report, one reason we are more likely to have a cigarette when we are younger is because our brains are not fully developed until about the age of 25. Until then, we don’t necessarily have the biological and associated emotional maturity needed to consistently make rational decisions, control impulses or ignore the strong desire to be accepted by peers. Further, our immature brains are more susceptible to nicotine’s addictive properties. This makes it easier for a young person to become a daily smoker than it does for an adult to do so.

To learn more about how raising the minimum legal age for purchase of tobacco to 21 will reduce our national smoking rates and save lives, Google “Minimum Age of Legal Access to Tobacco Products.”

To the Editor: I read with frustration the article about Mr. Lewis paying salaries for candidates that he considers worthy of being the ruling body of the Town Board in the Town of Essex.

I feel it is unethical, if not illegal for a private citizen to pay the salary of a town official. This would in fact put those officials under that citizen’s rule and all decisions of the Board would ultimately be his decisions. This would ultimately become a dictatorship of one person who is paying a government official’s salary.

I have resided in the Town of Essex for 23 years and the County of Essex all of my life. We have survived so far with the democratic rule.

We do live in a democracy, not a dictatorship.

Mr. DeMola seems to publish only one person’s opinion and not research if his findings are truth or a stretch of truth.

We have survived under the belief that government is of the people, by the people and for the people and this needs to continue.

The leadership of a Town, the Town Board is a TEAM and there is NO I IN TEAM. Karen Lewis Crowningshield Essex

Be aware of town crisis To the Editor: Westport Residents and Homeowners, please be aware that your Town is in crisis. Due to the ongoing illness of our Town Supervisor, Dan Connell, and also to the debilitating illness of Councilman Dan McCormick, it has been impossible to have proper representation and to move forward. If you care to see constructive action and maintain or enhance your property values please become informed, involved; come to Town Board meetings (second Tuesday at 7 p.m. every month and fourth Tuesday at 3 p.m.); make your wishes known; lend support for acceptance of the Historic Preservation Grant ($500,000) that Westport has been privileged to be awarded. (Implementing this Grant with the addition of the Town’s share WILL NOT RAISE TAXES; the money is in the town coffers.) Think about who you would like to see run and represent you in the Town’s upcoming elections.

The pervasive negativism expressed at the meetings is a cancer and is most contagious. It will take every resident’s caring and commitment to combat it.

Think Positive if you would like to see a town that matches its incomparable natural setting and of which we can all be proud.

Response to McGahay To the Editor: Politics ain’t beanbag, and we play hardball here in Essex County. In his response to my recent letter, “If Win wins, the voters lose,” Bill McGahay aims a knuckleball at my head.

I would like to congratulate McGahay on his well-crafted opinion piece — it is an impressive blend of fact, emotion, obfuscation, and rhetorical sleight of hand — and to offer Win Belanger the respectful apology and expression of appreciation that McGahay called for.

I appreciate, respect, and honor Belanger’s service to our country and to our county.

As McGahay suggests, Belanger helped protect our rights through his military service. Belanger has earned the right to spend his days inspecting petitions, filing lawsuits, volunteering for his political party, going to the beach, riding a motorcycle, or doing the twist.

Moreover, there is truth to McGahay’s argument that our county is wellserved by the time Belanger invests in inspecting non-Republican nominating petitions. Candidates for public office should be held to the strict letter of the law, and it takes watchful, motivated citizens to do just that.

Speaking of which: McGahay’s letter goes off the rails at several points, particularly when he writes that I have cast “dirt” on incumbent county clerk Joseph Provoncha.

My letter brought up the fact that in 2012 Provoncha admitted to improper behavior, improperly influencing the award of a county contract, violating the County Ethics Policy, and continued misuse of the county computer system after being asked to stop. As part of his public reprimand, Provoncha paid a fine of $3,500 levied by the County Ethics Board.

All of this was widely reported at the time.

Is bringing this up in the context of Provoncha’s reelection campaign “dirty” politics — or is it just politics?

If these aren’t legitimate issues to bring up before an election, what are? Thank you, Former Executive Director of the New York Republican State Committee Bill McGahay, for engaging me in this highly public spar. It is an honor to play hardball with you. Nonetheless, I hope that the spotlight can now shift away from me and instead shine where it should: On candidates Joseph Provoncha and Luke Hudak.

Armory adds to historical sites in Ti To the Editor: The Ticonderoga Armory, Hancock House, Black Watch Memorial Library, and the Ticonderoga Heritage Museum are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and are rich in architectural heritage and cultural legacy – a source of community pride.

The Hancock House was built by Horace Moses in 1926 and was established as a museum and a library. Today it serves as a home for the Ticonderoga Historical Society and preserves civic, social and economic elements of society with displays, period room exhibits, and a large collection of genealogical resource material. The Heritage Museum was built by Ti Pulp and Paper Company in 1888 to be used as a corporate office. Today it is a museum with the mission to preserve the industrial history of Ticonderoga which includes artifacts and relics from industries once located along the La Chute River.

The Black Watch Memorial Library was built in 1905 by Andrew Carnegie to honor men of the 42nd Highlanders who died in Ticonderoga in 1758, and serves still as a lending library. The New York Armory was built between 1933 and 1935 as part of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal as a Reserve Center for the National Guard. In 2003 New York State deeded it to the Town of Ticonderoga with the restriction that the property be used solely for the purposes of recreation.

Each historic building is overseen and cared for by members of a Board of Trustees except the Armory complex which is the responsibility of the Ticonderoga Town Board with a member of the building and grounds checking the property. To reflect the purposeful heritage of the historical buildings all lawns are immaculately groomed with shady trees, flower gardens, and a variety of shrubs. But at the Armory a 100 year old maple tree will be cut down, and the stately lawns will be turned into widened roadways and parking spaces to accommodate the increased traffic created by relocating a Police Station.

The Hancock House, Black Watch Memorial Library, and the Ticonderoga Heritage Museum have been well preserved by their respective Board of Trustees who strives to advance their mission of preserving historic sites and educating society. The Armory was deeded to the Town of Ticonderoga with the mission to preserve it for recreation. It is a precious part of our past and a source of recreation now and in the future. However, Ticonderoga’s most important resources are our children and our senior citizens who are housed within the walls of the Armory to enjoy recreational activities. They will be at risk just by negotiating their way into and out of the Armory. Safety hazards lurk outside the doors due to increased traffic problems.

The historic Armory complex is not the solution for the relocation of a Police Department. The Armory is for RECREATION for the children, seniors, you, and me.

hey say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

My eyes are pretty good for an old guy and I have mirrors in the house.

When I shave in the morning, beauty is not what I see. It is my late father’s face. I’ll chop the whiskers off and slip the fake teeth in with what’s left of the naturals.

I start each day with thanks for being able to ambulate to the bathroom.

Coffee, watching the sunrise and greeting early bird calls with Kaye by my side are all part of the bonus of living in the North Country.

Every step I take reinforces my view that we are truly blessed with nature’s beauty in this region.

We have Montreal to the North, Lake Champlain, the Adirondack Mountains and all the rest.

We called it our “quality of life” years ago as we attempted to save Plattsburgh Air Force Base. It worked for a while but even that wasn’t enough.

However, the area thrived with reuse of the former base properties. New businesses moved here. Existing enterprises grew and we can look back and agree it was a job well done.

Much of the attraction is our natural beauty.

Those who don’t relish it are missing so much.

This time of year is what we dream about when the thermometer reads 30 below in February. As I wrote this, the sky was blue and the temperature was in the very comfortable 70s heading to the high 80s.

The Saranac River was flowing by and we marveled at how much the leaves had turned already.

Our community of Morrisonville had just finished a bustling weekend with celebrations next door at the new fire station. Town wide yard sales drew folks from all over. People got married in churches and on back lawns. I drank it all in.

My mantra is: pay attention; less griping and more celebrating what we have at our doorstep. Cherish the sunshine and the rainy days. Come to my house and compare our tomato plants to yours.

Yes, beauty IS in the eye of the beholder and if we take time to look past the nose on our faces, we can see it in abundance Columnist Gordie Little is a weekly contributor to Sun Community News. He may be reached at gordie@ suncommunitynews.com.

One Hundred Years Ago – August, 1915 Two boys drowned Richard Bruno, 12, and Archie Bruno, 11, sons of Joseph Bruno, of Warrensburgh, were drowned shortly after 10 o’clock the morning of Aug. 12, 1915 in the Schroon River, just below the Plank Road Bridge at the entrance of the village.

The boys had entered the water walking on a sand bar from which there is a sudden drop into the deep water. Richard, the elder child could swim a little, his brother, however, could not. Evidently the boys walked off the bar and were unable to get back into the shallow water.

The first inkling as to the drowning was given by Noble Reynolds, son of Truman Reynolds, who saw Richard just as he was going down for the last time. The cries of young Reynolds brought several people to the scene and they succeeded in raising the body from the water. It was too late, however, as life was extinct.

Surgeon Chambers, of the Thirtieth U.S. Infantry, marching by at the time, tried artificial respiration and assisted by the crowd, worked over the boy for nearly an hour, but all in vain. Drs. Griffin and Cunningham were also called to the scene of the tragedy, but were unable to restore life to the little body. The other boy’s body was found in the afternoon a short distance from where he went down. Joseph Bruno, father of the boys is chef at the Warren House hotel up the street. He hurried to the scene as soon as the drowning became known and his grief was pitiful to behold. The mother of the boys has been separated from the family for several years. The father has one child left, Alice Bruno, the oldest child of the family.

Little boy gone Donald Fenn, of Cambridge, Mass., while standing on the deck of the cottage of William Emerson, of Stillwater, on Lake George, was horrified upon gazing into the water, to see the body of five-year-old James Frothingham, who a short time previous had been playing near the shore and dock. The body lay in six feet of water. Mr. Fenn jumped in and securing the body carried it to the dock. All efforts to restore life by means of artificial respiration failed. The boy was the son of City Judge and Mrs. E.V. Frothingham of New York City.

Baby born – Famous parents

Minister bows out

The Glens Falls Hospital in years to come might become famous as the birthplace of a great musical artiste, daughter of Efram Zimbalist, the famous violinist and his equally famous wife, known to the grand opera stage as Madame Alma Gluck.

The child was born early Friday afternoon, Aug. 20, 1915. Madame Gluck will cancel all of her engagements for the coming season at a sacrifice of $150,000 and sing only to her baby girl.

Mr. and Mrs. Zimbalist have been spending the summer at Lake George, where they have a summer cottage.

(Note – The baby, Maria Virginia Zimbalist became a vocalist, of note, who recorded with her father violinist Efram Zimbalist, Sr. She died in 1981 at the age of 66 years. Her mother, Madame Alma Gluck (Reba Alma Fiersohn) recorded several Christian hymns in duets with famous Lake George opera singer Louise Homer. Alma was only 54 years old when she died, Oct. 27, 1938, of liver failure.)

Notice is hereby given of the resignation of Rev. W.F. Hassel and wife, as pastors of the First Pentecostal Holiness Church, of Warrensburgh, as of Aug. 17, 1915, difference of opinion and a failure on the part of the church in living up to and enforcing the church discipline being the cause. Mr. Hassel will for the present hold services in the home of Bert L. Olden, on River Street, near Robert Baker’s store.

Christening at Loon Lake Twins – Thompson Park and Griffin Park Stephens, Blythewood Island, Loon Lake, Chester, were christened recently by the Rev. Dr. Roelfh H. Brooks, of Albany. The ceremony took place at a temporary alter built for the occasion on the veranda of “Park Lodge,” over looking the lake. In its outdoor setting the ceremony was simple, but deeply impressive with sweet peas and golden rod intermingled with autumn leaves and ferns through which showed rustic cages containing live song birds and decorations. The very best of wishes are sent for the future welfare of these two promising young gentlemen.

Aeroplanes on exhibit The Warren County Fair, Sept. 7-10, 1915, will feature the first exhibition of the great modern invention, the aeroplane and two plane rides a day, every day, will take place by D. Gor-

Beavers flourish After ten years of protection by the state, beavers in the Adirondacks have become so numerous that an investigation as to their destructiveness or usefulness is being conducted by the State Conservation Commission. Dams built by beavers have backed up water for miles in some places. (Note – This reminds me of the time that our late Supervisor, Charlie Hastings, told me about the early days in his career when he was Town Water Commissioner. He had an on going war with beavers who had control of the spring filled water supply that came down into the town from Alden Avenue and the beavers, with their iron will, had absolutely no intention of giving up an inch of their territory. It was the fight of Charlie’s life and it looked like the beavers were winning. The whole town thought it was hilarious and kidded Charlie without mercy.)

Sweet and sour notes – The weather has made another slump from hot to cold and light wraps have been comfortable. The last two weeks furnished very poor hay weather. A heavy rain fell on Landon Hill, Chestertown, on Sunday, Aug. 22, 1915 and did considerable damage to crops and roads and left water in cellars and made good work for road superintendents.

Minerva farmers are battling Blister Beetles, a large bluish fly which devours the potato leaves. Hogs are cheaper than they have been in a long time, but the market man around the corner does not seem to have heard the news yet.

A disease is going around among chickens in Sodom which puzzles even the most expert chicken fanciers. They, the chickens, not the sodomites, just put down their heads to the ground and die. They don’t appear to be in any pain, never cry, only just dump down and die.

Why does not a person say a kind word for the toad? He is quiet, inoffensive, friendly, and has a voracious appetite for mosquitoes.

News roundabout Many Warrensburgh men were on hand Aug. 26, 1915 to attend the auction sale of cattle, farming machinery and tools, owned by the late Jacob E. Johnson, at the Meadowbrook Stock farm in Thurman. (Note – Jacob E. Johnson, 61, died April 29, 1915 on Hudson Street, Warrensburgh. Today his ancestral Meadowbrook farm, built by William Johnson in 1792, is named Nettle Meadows Goat Farm.)

The buildings of the Warren County Home are to be repainted and reroofed and sealed bids for the work are called for by Supervisor M.L. Eldridge and Superintendent of the Poor, E.W. Griggs, the committee appointed by the Board of Supervisors to attend to the matter.

Runway 67 fashion store At fair, milking contest a moves to Lake George must for local politicans

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE — Runway 67, the source in the area for affordable high-fashion clothing and accessories, has moved its retail outlet from Warrensburg to Lake George.

The recent relocation of Runway 67 to 2199 state Rte. 9 — on Lake George Village’s main drag — was made primarily to gain traffic in the store, proprietor Tina Combs said this week.

“I moved my store to Lake George because I wanted to step up, gain additional visitors and have more activity, particularly during the summer,” she said. “This also allows me to pursue my original vision of an upscale boutique offering a wide range of clothes at reasonable prices.”

Just how low are the prices?

Combs said this week that Runway 67’s fashions are far lower than people would expect to pay, considering the high quality.

“Our prices are unbelievably affordable,” she said. “Most of the items we have are priced at $20 or less — and some of them retail at Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s for $200 to $300,” she said.

“We invite our customers old and new to see what we’re now offering,” Combs added, noting that those spending $25 or more during August will be rewarded with a free pair of designer-inspired sunglasses.

Besides dresses, skirts, blouses, tops and jeans, Runway 67’s inventory includes handbags, scarves, jewelry, and sweaters in sizes 0 to 5x. Designer brands include Ralph Lauren, DKNY, Silver Jeans, Guess, Cable & Gage, and Charter Club.

Soon, the store will be offering shopping events. From Sept. 24 through Sept. 26, for instance, Runway 67 will be conducting a sale with 15 percent of the proceeds going to a charity that serves women in need.

Also, the store will soon be hosting monthly Ladies’ Night Out events — with complimentary wine and cheese accompanying fashion presentations — during the off-season. The first one is to include tips on scarf tying.

The dates of the upcoming events will be announced on the website www.runway67.com and the store’s Facebook page. For additional details, Combs can be reached at 338-2874.

WESTPORT — It’s a tradition that’s as American as apple pie — The cow-milking contest that kicks off the Essex County Fair each year.

For the past decade-orso, the ritual has fallen on politicians: local supervisors, state officials — even federal representatives circling the district during the August recess.

On Wednesday, they slowly made their way from the main drag to the cow paddock, shaking hands with the knots of local residents who’d gathered on opening day.

Some managed to slip away. Those who didn’t found themselves side-byside in the stable, straw underfoot and bovine tails

swishing away the humidity of the high summer.

Long-running MC Ernie LaPine strolled over and took the microphone.

“You can tell we have politicians here because they’re talking all the time,” he said.

A crowd began to gather.

They drifted over from the carnival rides and the Rhinestone Roper and his horse, Jesse James.

Formalities came first, with a long list of thank yous.

The board honored Frances Mitchell this year for her contributions over the decades. She cut the ribbon and everyone clapped.

An attendant led in a Jersey cow with a doleful expression.

LaPine reviewed the officials, including a handful of county supervisors, Assem-

blyman Dan Stec and Rep. Elise Stefanik.

“You better get those hands ready and go with it,” said LaPine.

“I’m ready to milk,” said Stefanik.

And then the games began, with LaPine offering a steady stream of good-natured ribbing.

“This is the embarrassing part,” he said.

LaPine brandished a pair of plastic cups. Participants had 30 seconds to squeeze as much as they could out of the cow, one contestant on each side.

Stec and Stefanik went at it.

“Who won?” asked LaPine. “Albany or Washington?”

Stec won by a nose — but not by much.

Lake George sewer plant reconstruction proposed

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE — The village of Lake George took a major step forward this week toward solving its ongoing problem of excessive pollutants in the effluent emerging from its municipal sewage plant.

The village board voted Aug. 17 to formally accept a lengthy report issued by its consulting engineers. The document proposed a major revamping of the village’s sewage treatment plant.

The unanimous vote Monday of the village board in effect endorsed the engineers’ conclusion: to install a new primary sewage treatment system — a so-called sequence batch reactor — which would more effectively reduce pollutants including nitrates.

For decades, environmentalists and state officials have known that the village’s sewer plant has been discharging effluent with levels of nitrates and nitrites that violate state standards.

The state issued a Consent Order last year requiring the village of Lake George to reduce these pollutants.The dictate noted that the plant had exceeded the allowable levels of nitrate in its discharge in 29 of the 32 prior months.

The proposed plant reconfiguration is envisioned to clean up the sewer plant’s outflows, surpassing state standards.

Effluent from the plant migrates from the groundwater into West Brook, which flows into Lake George.

Nitrates and other pollutants feed algae and lakeweeds, deteriorate water quality, disrupting fish life, hampering recreation and killing off natural organisms which naturally clean the lakewater.

Lake George Village Public Works Superintendent Dave Harrington warned the village board at their meeting Monday that the plans for the plant upgrades had to be submitted to state officials by Dec. 1.

Paying for the project is major issue The remaining hurdle for modernizing the village’s sewer treatment plant, however, is money — the project is expected to as much as $15 million.

“The next step is developing plans and specifications and advertising for bids,” Harrington said. “But we can’t engage anybody until we know where the money is coming from.”

Dave Decker of the Lake George Watershed Coalition told board members about the potential funding sources. He said that his organization had already applied for three state grants on behalf of the village to help pay for the plant re-engineering, and was planning to apply for several more.

Excessive nitrates and other polluting “nutrients” in Lake George were already building up in the lake, causeing algae blooms and “dead zones,” forcing fish to go elsewhere to live, Decker said.

“The canary in the coal mine is beginning to chatter,” he warned.

Harrington noted that he would be meeting at the plant with state Sen. Betty Little and state Assemblyman Dan Stec Aug. 19 to explain the needed modernization and request funding.

Sewer plant reconstruction, he said, would take two years.

The wastewater engineering report, about two inches thick, was prepared by AES Northeast of Plattsburgh for about $21,000.

The report recommended not only equipping Lake George’s wastewater treatment system with a sequence batch reactor — which would involve major reconstruction if not replacement of the existing plant — but several other initiatives.

It also called for separating the septic tanker receiving and waste processing from the main sewage treatment operations — to maximize the purification of the wastewater.

In addition, the report called for rehabilitating the sand filtration beds — with ground recycled glass if feasible; installing screening to remove grit from the plant’s effluent; using the plant’s outflow to irrigate the adjacent Evergreen Cemetery, and constructing an artificial wetland final treatment basin — with specialized plants that would absorb pollutants in the treated wastewater into their roots for additional purification.

These latter proposals might have to be eliminated from the plans if enough money weren’t available to pay for them, he said.

The sequence batch reactor, the core of the proposed new system, mechanically treats loads of

sewage, intermittently mixing the batches in tanks with active sludge and forcing oxygen throughout the muck to reduce organic matter.

Harrington noted that the treatment plant’s sand beds need to be cleaned out, reconfigured and refilled.

He noted that the sand beds were continuing to experience substantial erosion — they were now 8 to 12 feet below ground, rather than two to three feet below grade as they should be, he said.

Harrington said that taking action on the project to upgrade the sewer treatment system was urgent.

“We can’t wait until January or February to get started on this,” Harrington said. “We must begin construction between one year and 18 months from now.”

Blais said the re-engineered plant, as proposed, would serve the village and town of Lake George for 30 to 40 years.

“This is a massive project, and the village can’t afford to fail,” he said.

The board formally accepted the report Aug. 17, as they proceed in an ongoing project to clean up the effluent from their wastewater treatment plant.

Cathy Bump seeks Chester Town Clerk post

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

Cathy Bump, candidate, Chester Town Clerk Photo provided

CHESTER — Cathy Bump, a resident of Pottersville since her childhood, is running for the position of Chester Town Clerk.

A candidate for Town Clerk on the Republican and Independent ballot lines, Bump has devoted most of her working career in accounting, cash management and customer service — duties that she said prepare her well for the Clerk’s post.

For 17 years — up until about two decades ago — she was employed as the head teller and customer service representative for Glens Falls National Bank’s Chestertown and Schroon Lake branch offices.

Following these positions, she worked in the business office at Robert J. Sweet Lumber Co. Inc. of Warrensburg, handling payroll, state reports and internal audits among her many duties.

After that business was sold to new

owners, she moved on to Price Chopper in Warrensburg, working in their cash office and at their customer service desk. In this post, she is among several employees who balance the cash receipts on a daily basis.

Bump has two sons and three grandchildren. Years ago when her sons were in school, she was active in the ChesterHoricon Youth Commission. Since her granddaughter started in school, she has served as a Girl Scout troop leader.

Bump’s community service also includes serving as the Secretary for the Pottersville Fire District for eight years.

In addition to her work employed for area enterprises, Bump managed her own small business — she was an independent Avon representative for nine years.

“My experience throughout my career has prepared me well for the Chester Town Clerk’s position,” Bump said. “I’ll be available to the public, and I will handle the duties and responsibilities of the office in a very professional way.”

Chester candidates to meet the public CHESTERTOWN — A Meet the Candidates Night has been scheduled for the town of Chester.

The event, set for 7 p.m.

Friday Aug. 28 in the Chester Municipal Center, is to introduce candidates for local public office to area citizens.

The event is to feature presentations by two citizens running for town of Chester Supervisor — Karen DuRose and Craig Leggett.

All are invited to attend.

For further information, contact Ed Griesmer at 4942210.

Super Reading program comes to an end HORICON — The six week summer reading program sponsored by The Friends of Horicon Library concluded Thursday, Aug. 13, with a total of 99 children having attended at least one week.

Many children had perfect attendance.

Each week the children honored a different hero. Firemen, policemen, soldiers, parents, and even Officer Coon and his rescue dog Ozzie were recognized.

The children, worked with Cliff and Phylis Sequin, founders of the Saratoga based Adopt a Soldier Program. Children ages ten and up were given $20 each from funds donated by local residents.

They shopped for cosmetics, personal items, food, candy and many other items to send to soldiers in war zones. They had hoped to fill four boxes. The children were able to send over 20 boxes.

Jerry Meader, a veteran of three branches of the service and three wars, who was a helicopter pilot, came in full uniform and told about his military service, Elna Meader read Budgie the Helicopter Pilot to the young children. That same night representatives from the VFW and American Legion came and demonstrated folding of the American Flag, Maria Schwartz lead the children in singing America the Beautiful in under the American Flag and in front of the Military Monument .

Roger Daby from the Horicon Fire Department brought a Horicon Fire truck and showed the children the equipment used to fight fires. Officer Coon demonstrated how Ozzie the rescue dog finds drugs, captures criminals and performs other tasks.

Tammie LaGuire, Director of the

Mind and Body Challenges, set up great obstacle courses that the kids loved. She also planned Lego contests, half hour Monopoly Games, and other group activities for her age group.

Kandi Plumley and her committee prepared Super Suppers for all who attended each week. The traveling tacos, hot dogs, pizza, Hero Sandwiches, and Sundaes for Super were enjoyed by all.

A child in each group was awarded $50 for having read the most books.

Many children won prizes for bringing new kids to the program.

Sal Joiner, President of the Friends, said that it was truly a community effort and that there is a long list of volunteers who donated their time, talent, and money to make this a wonderful educational and entertaining program for all children.

The Old Mill Studio on Water Street in Elizabethtown will present an art auction this Sunday. Art collectors downsizing their galleries, as well as artists and artisans, have donated over 50 works. Mediums on the block include: oil and water paintings, prints,

photographs, stained glass and a few things from Old Mill Art Colony.

The auction is certainly enough to get you in your car and head to Elizabethtown. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t share the historical significance of the Old Mill.

In 1932, Wayman Adams, international renowned portrait painter, was traveling with his wife from New York City to the Lake Placid Club to paint a commissioned portrait. During the last leg of their journey, the couple spent the night in Elizabethtown. They fell in love with the area, purchased the Mill property, and turned it into one of the premier painting schools of its time, “The Old Mill Art Colony.” The grounds include cottages, studio/gallery and main house, which has a few three wall spaces which seem to welcome the outside in.

Believe me, a walk around the Old Mill is worth the price of admission. Oh yeah, admission is free.

However, if I were you, I would stuff some extra bills in my pocket. This auction will have various price points, enabling all who appreciate beauty an opportunity to take some home. Proceeds will benefit the local American Legion. Date/time: Aug. 23 from 1-4 p.m. Location: Old Mill Studio at 4214 Water Street, Elizabethtown, N.Y. Tickets: No charge. Information: Nancy Dawson at 518-593-9446.

The village of Saranac Lake seems to have turned into an artist colony of its own during its Adirondack Plein Art Festival. You’ll need a map with directions to the painting locations and a schedule of all the activities, so make your first stop at The Adirondack Artists Guild Gallery on 52 Main Street.

Date/time: Thursday, Aug. 20th at 5:00 p.m. through Saturday, Aug. 22nd at 3:00 p.m. Location: the village of Saranac Lake, N.Y. Information: Sandra Hildreth, 518832-0081 (cell) or 518-891-1388 or http://saranaclakeartworks. com/pleinair.

Here’s a peek into the following weekend: Take a guided history walk across the Lake Champlain Bridge between Chimney Point in Addison, Vt., and Crown Point, N.Y., and learn about the nearly 9,000 years of human history from local historians. Allow at least two hours for this walk back and forth across the bridge. I would wear a hat,

Dolly’s World: On Northern Highlights

THE LARGEST SOURCE OF COMMUNITY EVENTS IN THE NORTH COUNTRY.

Notes from the North Woods Joe Hackett

> Outdoor Columnist

Joe@suncommunitynews.com

Camping can be dangerous!

M

ost travelers in the Adirondack backcountry recognize and accept the inherent dangers of traveling in the wilderness where heavy rains, strong winds and the opportunity for bitter cold is apparent at any time of the year. It is a challenge they are willing, and actually eager to accept.

Travelers have come to expect severe weather conditions in all seasons, ranging from floods, snow, high winds and ice.

They are also willing to accept the threat posed by both wild and domestic animal encounters, bugs and even an occasional minor earthquake. Such situations serve to remind us that nature remains in a perpetual state of flux, and will always be subject to rapid change. When humans choose to travel in such wild, terrain; they learn to accept such facts.

In the deep woods, rapid change is most evident in or around water where factors such as temperature, ice, stream flow, flotsam, elevation, underwater debris and wave action often combine to amplify the circumstances. High winds have the ability to chop still waters into whitecaps in an instant, making travel difficult or impossible. Over the years, I’ve encountered a variety of natural obstacles in the woods, ranging from swift, raging whitewater to stiff, blinding snow squalls. In such weather, I once woke up to discover the lakes and ponds we had fished the previous dayhad iced-over during the evening. We had to chop our way through the skim ice in order to get the boats out.

Adirondack outdoor travelers have learned how to deal with high water, severe winds, variable temperatures and a wide spectrum of biting, stinging and annoying pests. In fact, such conditions are to be expected as part of the experience.

Despite the overactive imaginations of thousands of travelers who choose to camp in the Adirondacks, the likelihood of being attacked by native wildlife is truly miniscule. While researching through a variety of old, regional newspapers, there is no record of a fatal black bear in the region. However, I did find several instances of bear taking down domestic animals, including horses and llamas. Black bear feed on vegetation and insects, with less than ten percent of their diet consisting of of meat. While their keen sense of smell may lead them to a few fawns during the early spring; they primarily feed on insects, roots, berries and occasionally on garbage when possible. While bear may also enjoy the fixings in a backpackers food bag, they are shy creatures with an innate fear of humans.

There is no doubt wildlife pose occasional dangers during the various seasons, usually during the breeding and birthing periods. They can also be a threat while foraging, but only if there is no escape route available At such times, outdoor enthusiasts should take the necessary cautions even while trav-

eling in familiar surroundings.

Black bear have poor eyesight, but an excellent sense of smell. They can run as speeds approaching 35 mph, which is much faster than even a scared human can run. The best way to avoid a bear encounter is to keep a clean camp, store food safely and dispose it appropriately. In reality, it’s likely the mice, chipmunks, squirrels and a few, wandering raccoons will pose a far more realistic danger to the food stash.

Wildlife can be very unpredictable, as evidenced by the recent incident involving a bear that attacked a 55-year-old hiker in the Ferris Lake Wild Forest. Reportedly, the bear was spooked by the hiker’s dog, and attacked it. The hiker was subsequently injured while protecting his dog. Despite the recent incident, which left the man with scratches and puncture wounds, hikers are far more likely to suffer from a dog bite than a bear bite. In fact, dog bites are one of the most common backcountry injuries recorded, which is one of the main reasons dogs must now be leashed in the High Peaks Wilderness Area. Dog bites are one of the most common injuries in the country, accounting for 80 % of all animal bites.

In the US, emergency rooms treat nearly 1000 dog bite injuries every day, for an average of over 4.7 million per year.

On the scale of potential outdoor dangers, bear attacks rank relatively low. The true danger is more likely to come from the skies, with severe weather such as flash floods, thick fog, high winds, lightning or heavy snow and ice. And, there’s also the entertainment provided by black flies, mosquitoes, no-seeums, mice, skunks raccoons and a host of similar woodland creatures. Campers always seem to draw a lot of company.

Of course, while traveling in the wilds, there is always the danger of getting lost, which collectively is the most common fear of both men and women. While the vast majority of lost hikers are usually found in short order, nearly every outdoor enthusiast recognizes the omnipresent danger of loosing their way. In fact, it is the realization that such dangers exists that make outdoor travel so appealing. A hiking trip just isn’t as charming or challenging when it’s conducted in a WalMart parking lot, rather than in the deep woods.

Camping allows us to function on the most elemental levels, where we often rediscover the most essential elements of our constitution. I believe you can learn more about a person while spending a weekend with them in camp, than would ever be possible at the office. In camp, we are able to be ourselves, in a comfortable, laid back atmosphere. Reality is as obvious as rolling thunder in the distance, or in the beady little eyes reflected in the flashlight’s glow.

So, as you get ready to head off to camp for a bit of fishing and some relaxing time around a roaring campfire, it’s important to remember that the two most hazardous occupations in the nation are the fishing and logging industries. In an effort to amplify this message, OSHA research indicates fishermen and fishing related activities are at the highest risk of injury of all occupations with a rate of 127 fatalities per 100,000 workers, and loggers come in second with a rate of 104 fatalities per 100,000.

So, when you get to camp, please be safe with your fishing rods, and extra careful with the chainsaw. While black bears aren’t likely to pose much of a threat, it’s the recreational activities that can kill you!

After the sunsets, it is possible to see the lights on the Champlain Bridge at Crown Point. Overnight campers will be greeted by a full on sunrise, which quickly warms the shelter to chase away the early morning dew.

What’s good for one is bad for another!

S

ummer is upon us! High temperatures, along with cloudy skies and rain seem to pop in and out of the hot and humid air daily. The humid air makes it hard to breath at times. I’ll take 115 degrees and dry air any day over 90 and humid.

The periodic rains keep stream waters up, and temps down a degree or two. And that is good for trout! Summer is a tough time for trout when the water gets warm. Seventy degree plus waters stress trout out, or worse. That is why we need to line the tributaries and rivers with more trees. Shade trees block out the sun from blanketing the water with solar heat, plus hold the banks together, allowing deeper summer holding areas.

A view of the river only warms the tourists and land buyers heart and lines the real estate agents pockets. Let’s keep the streams tree lined and the waters clean and cool.

Speaking of streams, there are some Catch and Release (C&R), signs being posted along Lake Champlain tributary streams to encourage this practice. Many landowners are tired of seeing a few “FISH HOGS” cleaning out a pool and taking all.

I have talked with landowners along Putnam Creek, McKenzie Brook and Mill Brook about nailing up signage that promotes C&R. All so far are in favor of it! These are not regulations, only encouragement! Good Conservation!

The Lake Champlain Fish and Game, and Bezon’s Bait Shop in Port Henry, have both jumped on board with Trout Unlimited in promoting this trout stream practice, posting signs along their property. Bryant’s Lumber in Moriah graciously donated the cap nails to get the signs up.

Thank you, to ALL of you Good Conservationists for helping out.

If you are interested in a sign for your stream, please let me know. I’ll try and get you some.

The rains have brought on a bounty of berries this year; the woodlots are loaded with raspberries, dogwoods and cherries, if sun light is available.

Clipping your food plots should be considered at this time.

Regrowth of young fresh feed will then be available in the later part of fall. There is still time to get some food plots in. Clover and, annuals, like grains, and radishes are good to plant now.

Radish tops after a freeze are like candy to deer. They love it.

We went from a very dry spring, to a very wet late spring and now summer. Who knows what fall and Mother Nature’s weather will bring?

The weather; what’s good for one is bad for another.

For orchardists, the apple crop should be a slammer this year.

Both home grown and wild green apples are starting to selfthin themselves now and branches are hanging low under the weight of all the fruit. Great fall food for humans and wildlife!

I have noticed some thinning out of other crops this year. The helicopters are flying at tree top level looking for home grown also! The State Police are thinning out this specialty grass crop grower! I guess they won’t be smoking any hay butts for a while!

But, speaking of hay, the real grass and legume growers are not doing well!

There is always a “but” you know. For beef and dairy farmers, making grass hay when the sun shines between the clouds has been a gamble this year. Getting quality hay to feed this winter will be a challenge unless the summer starts to dry up and dry out. Even then, quantity and quality could suffer! Raising cattle requires good feed and lots of it to get through a North Country winter, especially like the last two never ending ones we have had. We have some of the finest farmers in the world located in this valley. None of them however can control the weather.

Make sure you get your wood order in, ASAP! Get the wood stacked under cover and kept dry. The clock is ticking and time is getting lean! Yea, I know, its summer! Right! Fall will be here soon. Night fires will begin and creosote could build up.

Firefighters love the job. We love the work, BUT we really don’t want to come to your house and fight a fire. We don’t want anybody’s house to burn, valuables lost or someone to get hurt or worse. A good night at the fire station is when nothing happens! So be smart, and stay safe out there!

Captain Lorax!

Beach Road << Continued from | p. 1

BEACH ROAD IMPROVEMENTS Beach Road’s new design is safer for pedestrians to navigate the area and to get to the beach. In addition, the road is repaved with environmentally beneficial porous asphalt.

A new multi-use path now passes through the facility to the south end of the lake, and features in the parking lot and walkways provide easier and safer access for people with disabilities.

POROUS ASHPALT AND STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE The use of porous asphalt and installation of stormwater infrastructure protects the lake’s water quality on the mile-long stretch of road on the southern shoreline. The stretch of Beach Road along the Lake’s shore is constructed to decrease the amount of sedimentation and pollutants entering the lake, decrease the amount of salt and sand needed to keep the roads safe during winter weather and significantly decreases the frequency and depth of flooding of the road and parking lots.

CUOMO HONORED These improvements have earned the governor’s staff this year’s Irving R. Langmuir Award for Excellence in Development and Stewardship, awarded by Lake George Waterkeeper Chris Navitsky at the Sagamore on Aug. 15.

“These latest actions at Million Dollar Beach demonstrate the leadership needed to make a difference,” Navitsky said. “State implementation of Low Impact Development measures including pervious pavement and natural stormwater treatment, is essential for the protection of the exceptional water quality of Lake George.”

Town officials say the upgrades to Million Dollar Beach, including the addition of a new boat wash station, are a significant step in the protection and preservation of Lake George.
