Lotus Renewables scrapped, CEO ‘rethinking’ local strategy By Ryan Edwards
ryan@suncommunitynews.com
WARRENSBURG — In response to resistance from Thurman and Warrensburg residents, Lotus Group CEO Ash Anand announced last week he and his team have opted to retract their plan to bring a ‘renewable energy plant’ to the town of Thurman. Anand said he was disheartened by the protests to his project, which he said would create around 30 local jobs. He currently employs around 70 people locally, he said. “It almost feels like if I do it, I am fighting someone to do something good,” he said at a press conference on Monday.
Anand said the plant was intended to create an “alternate, affordable energy source” by producing wood pellets from mostly compacted sawdust and other industrial waste. The plant, he said, would alleviate the yearly struggle local residents face in disposing of brush and other biodegradable waste while decreasing the average heating costs by a third. Lotus Renewables, he continued, would have a “no-export policy” for its product. Had the project been seen through to completion, the wood pellets would have been made locally, by local employees, to benefit local residents, he said. After announcing his plan to build the plant in January, Anand and his team reached out to environmental groups and land surveyors in the following months, finally deciding to
purchase a 28-acre plot of land on Mud Street in Thurman after considering properties in Warrensburg and Chestertown. LOCAL CONCERN When surrounding homeowners received a Major Project Notice from the Adirondack Park Agency detailing Anand’s plans for the property — which include a 10,00 square foot metal building, related access roads, a parking lot and wastewater facility — the Lotus Group received a number of complaints from residents of both Thurman and Warrensburg protesting the plant. >> Story Continued | pg. 10

CHESTERTOWN — Rum-Runners’ Weekend, an annual event in northern Warren County which celebrates the exuberance and frivolity of the Roaring Twenties, is returning next week with new attractions. This year’s third edition is expanded to three days — Thursday Sept. 17 through Saturday Sept. 19 — in order to include a new Casino Night along with its established events that have won the hearts of people from near and far. Rum-Runners Weekend won a first-place Best Community Event award last year from the Adirondack Park
Agency, which recognized its impact on the local economy, its celebration of local history, and how the event had been embraced by people from a wide region. The weekend features a Speak-Easy Night, a staged bootlegger car chase, spirited parties at local restaurants and taverns, a vaudeville show in a local vintage theater, a baseball competition with a historic flair, as well as a Charleston dance contest. The new Casino Night is set for 7 to 10 p.m. Thursday in the former Chestertown fire hall at 20 Church St., now the headquarters of McMillen Construction. People who arrive at the door will be escorted
through the darkness to the gambling action — reflecting the secrecy prevailing during the Prohibition era. A $20 entrance fee buys each participant a pile of mock greenbacks for betting on black jack, roulette, a money wheel and craps games. >> Story Continued | pg. 9

American Music Fest returns for second year By Ryan Edwards
ryan@suncommunitynews.com
LAKE GEORGE — The event which officially opened the Charles R. Wood Park last year is set to return later this month with a host of American artists from a variety of genres — including Fultonville’s own Sawyer Fredericks, who took the top prize in this season of NBC’s ‘The Voice.’ The American Music Festival for the Lake is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, Sept. 26 and 27, with the first acts taking the stage at noon on both days. Festival owner Robert Millis said he expects a similar turnout to last year’s event, which boasted such acclaimed and eclectic acts as the grammy-winning hip hop legends Bone Thugs ‘N Harmony and country-rock band New Riders of the Purple Sage, which once included members of the Grateful Dead. The event is structured similarly to last year’s festival in that it is divided into two genre-specific days: Saturday Rocks — featuring Fredericks — and Country Sunday. This year, how-
ever, will not include a Friday night hip hop show. “We pride ourselves with mixing up the genres.” Millis said, noting that both days will host diverse offerings from reggae to afro-beat to jam bands. In addition to Fredericks, acts scheduled to perform on Saturday include jam rock group the High Peaks Band; ‘80s fun-rock band Blotto; dancehall reggae outfit Crucial Fiya; afrobeat nouveau-funk group Big Mean Sound Machine; 16-year-old singer/songwriter Quinn Sillivan; and nu-fusion funk outfit Kung Fu. Sunday’s lineup includes Northcountry-twang group the North and South Dakotas; neo-folk bluegrass band Driftwood; Americana-folk group Donna the Buffalo; Appalachian outlaw country group Sundy Best; and modern country singer Austin Webb. In addition to these performances, the festival will also include a craft beer zone, and food truck rodeo, an ecoLocal Village expo and a number of children’s activities at the kids corner. The event began as an extension of the Festival for the Lake, which raised $22,000 toward the protection of Lake George’s water quality in 2013. Like last year, a portion of the proceeds of the festival will be donated to the S.A.V.E. Lake George Partnership. “The American Music Festival for the Lake brings the fun into autumn,” Mayor Robert Blais said in his welcome statement. “Take home a wealth of memories and know that you’ve also helped to preserve our treasured ‘Queen of America’s Lakes.’” Millis said he intends to grow the festival each year, noting that it has already earned national attention, with attendees traveling from as far as Florida and California to attend. “Our goal is to within five years make this a destination festival for the northeast,” he said. Advance general admission and VIP tickets, including weekend packages, are on sale now for a reduced price at the Festival’s website. The site also offers a bios and set times for each of the acts on the bill for the weekend: festivalforthelake. com.

Essex County lawmakers take wait-and-see approach to tanker storage plan By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County lawmakers said Tuesday they need more information before sounding off on the Saratoga & North Creek Railway’s plan to store a fleet of decommissioned oil tanker cars on the tracks between Newcomb and Saratoga Springs. “We’re kind of waiting,” said Essex County Chairman Bill Ferebee. Earlier this summer, Saratoga & North Creek Railway President Ed Ellis briefed the Warren County Board of Supervisors on the company’s plan to store a fleet of tankers on a section of tracks pending safety upgrades that are now required by the federal government. Last week, that board opted to table the discussion following feedback from the Department of Conservation and the Adirondack Park Agency. Assemblyman Dan Stec, who was present in Elizabethtown on Tuesday to brief the board on recent activities, said he was unsure if legally, municipalities even have a say on the railway’s plan. “I’m not really clear if a local government has a role or not,” said Stec. It was presented to Warren County more as a courtesy, he said. While Stec said his initial reaction to the proposal was one of discomfort, it may be premature to flat out reject the idea. He added that he would like to see the railway, which is owned by Iowa Pacific Holdings, succeed. The lawmaker said he had several unanswered questions, including those related to security, visual impact and the ultimate fate of the tankers, which may never be put back into service. “Local government doesn’t have enough information to say if we like it or don’t like it,” said Stec. Ellis told Warren County lawmakers that the measure may bring in seven figures for the company, which is struggling to turn a
profit. It remains unclear where the tankers would be stored. Ferebee said he looks forward to discussing the issue further with Newcomb Super-
visor George Canon, who was not present at the meeting. The combination of new pipelines and more stringent safety measures has led to the glut of unused cars.
Numerous environmental groups have come out against the proposal, including the Adirondack Council. A change.org petition has already garnered 7,578 signatures against the measure by the time this story went to print on Tuesday.

North Country-based band strikes record deal A record label led by the son of Waylon Jennings produced album By Christopher Pratt
christopher@suncommunitynews.com
NORTH CREEK — A local band has been logging serious miles, playing large venues and building connections with some big names in the music industry. But despite their recent feats, Last Daze remains firmly rooted in the North Country. Members of the band include Katy Cole, Mick Changelo, Matt Dower and Chris Schempp. The group released its first album titled “Symbols & Snares” on Aug. 28. The band draws its influences from a broad spectrum of musicians and has a diverse range of tunes. Schempp, the lead guitarist, said they’re not easy to pigeonhole in any one particular genre camp. It’s a fusion of different sounds and passionate lyrics. “Some people think we’re like countryrock, others think we’re rock,” Schempp said. But no matter what listeners call the music, it’s hard to deny that the group with humble origins has made an impression on some influential circles. Black Country Rock, the label fueling the band’s release, is led by Shooter Jennings. His father, the late Waylon Jennings, is famous for iconic songs including “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys” and “Good Ol’ Boys,” the theme song for the “Dukes of Hazzard” television show. The new album was recorded last year at the Station House Studios in Los Angeles. Jennings, who is president of the record label and a key fixture in the outlaw country music genre, was integral to the composition of the album, Schempp said. Schempp, who hails from Indian Lake, said group members have played numerous festivals and concert halls across the nation

to spread their music over the past year. Although distant gigs are now commonplace for the group, Schempp said no matter how far the group goes, they’ll always remember that they hail from the North Country. “We’re all from the Adirondacks, every one of us,” he said. Specifically, Schempp noted, the group traces its origins back to North Creek. He was quick to list off each member’s local credentials: Cole, who was born and raised in North Creek, can be heard on vocals, piano and acoustic guitar; Changelo, from Saranac Lake, is on the bass guitar; and Dower, from North Creek, plays drums. Earlier in the summer, the band opened
for Jennings when he played at a venue in Warrendale, PA. And more gigs are in the works. Schempp said one upcoming performance he’s looking forward to will be at the Utica Music and Arts Fest, which takes place Sept. 11 and 12. The new album also includes key contributions from Jen Gadway of Schroon Lake. Gadway said listeners will notice her on songs including “Momma Told You So,” “Kentucky” and “Heaven Will Let You In.” Gadway played with Cole for many years under the name Decadence. She has pivoted now to other ventures including a project with Downtown Cadillac. Gadway, whose life

in music has allowed her to see a good swath of the U.S. and inner workings of the music industry, said working with Jennings was “amazing.”
LAST DAZE ALBUM DETAILS A musical group comprised of Adirondack musicians makes up the band Last Daze. The group last month released its first album “Symbols & Snares.” It was recorded on the label led by Shooter Jennings, a staple of the outlaw country music genre. The album is being distributed by Select-O-Hits, Inc. It can be purchased through retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, FYE and iTunes.

Bizarre world of politics
.S. Politics is one of the biggest money businesses in the world. In so many ways the process to gain political influence has no boundaries. As citizens of this great democracy we would like to think those involved in the business of politics would look beyond petty skirmishes and foolish statements, but that, perhaps, would be expecting too much from those in control of our government and those who seek control over our government. In the current political climate the race for the highest office in the land seems mired in contradictions. Both party’s leading candidates are doing things that would have been unimaginable in prior elections. In the past a candidate wouldn’t think of insulting a voting block like the Hispanic population, yet the leading Republican candidate repeatedly does just that. A candidate would never rope themselves away from the press and refuse to answer questions leaving the talking heads to present their own version of the issue and chip away at the candidate’s credibility, yet the leading Democrat has. A candidate would never show their face in public if more than 70 percent of the public thought the best one word description for them was “liar” and the second best description was “distrustful”. When President Obama was elected he was described as a very likeable person. So who would vote for a candidate best described as “arrogant” or “blowhard”� The election is likely to be a referendum on the current state of the American political system. The simple fact that these candidates are still in the race is amazing alone, but to be leading the race clearly shows the nation is hungry for, not just new leadership, but a very different type of leader. The American electorate is tired of politicians who promise to serve and address the nation’s issues only to end up being more interested in themselves, their party and their own legacy. Childish behavior has no place in American politics nor in a serious society that seeks to uplift its people and encourage increased participation.

Risks outweigh rewards in oil tanker storage plan A
s if thousands of oil tankers clattering through the North Country wasn’t enough, movement is underway to store them here, too. A local railway has recently revealed their proposal to shore up their sagging business model: Indefinitely store a fleet of decommissioned oil tanker cars on the tracks between Newcomb and Saratoga Springs. That’s the pitch Saratoga & North Creek Railway President Ed Ellis made to the Warren County Board of Supervisors earlier this summer. Packing the lines with some 500 cars would help the struggling company turn a profit, Ellis told lawmakers. Perhaps even seven figures, a much-needed injection of capital as the company attempts to shore up their struggling tourist transit line. The concept would actually be darkly humorous if the company, which is part of Iowa Pacific Holdings, wasn’t so earnest about carrying it out. Oil traffic is already a hot-button issue as fleets continue to ship their payload from North Dakota to downstate refineries. They do so through some of the most fragile terrain in the country, including on tracks located just feet from Lake Champlain and the Hudson, Boreas and Opalescent rivers. While first responders and emergency service agencies continue to receive disaster training, all readily admit that a spill would be catastrophic for the region, perhaps even irreversible. What’s more, the dangers posed by this uptick in train traffic is one of the few issues upon which the diverse crew of stakeholders across the Adirondack Park actually agree, which makes the railway’s plan to create a toxic waste graveyard that much more bizarre. The proposal also contradicts the state’s vision for the region. If the plan comes into fruition, these cars, which do not meet current safety standards, will be stored near the tracts of newly acquired state land that Gov. Andrew Cuomo has repeatedly flagged as a hotspot for economic development and increased tourism opportunities. Not so fast, argues the railway. The arrangement would be a temporary one as they examine how to update the tankers, some 500 of them, to meet bolstered safety standards. After that, the tankers would be spirited off the tracks and back into service. But there are too many unanswered questions: How much residual oil will be left in the trains� Will they be inspected prior to arriving at their destination or afterwards� How many cars will eventually be stored� Will the strategy spread to neighboring counties� Will local municipalities be compensated for the risk�
Will it set a precedent for the storage of additional hazardous materials within the Adirondack Park� Furthermore, the wheels of government move slowly, especially at the federal level, and we have no reason to believe a temporary arrangement wouldn’t take on more permanent tones, especially if the bottom continues to fall out of the oil-by-rail market. In fact, the tanker storage trend shows no sign of abating as shipments of crude continue to slow in the wake of newly-completed pipelines. Last month, Iowa Pacific Holdings told Reuters that they predict 50,000 cars will come off the tracks as the new rules are phased in. While it seems that simply turning these cars into scrap would be the most sensible option, analysts have said it’s an unlikely scenario considering the unpredictability of global energy trends. Companies have little to lose by simply hanging onto them and hoping for a reversal. Maybe they’ll leak oil, maybe they won’t. But no amount of reassurances and safeguards will negate the fact that creating a repository of tankers is anathema to the Adirondack Park’s identity as a global leader in environmental sustainability. We respect the fact that the company is in a tough spot. We hate to see local businesses suffering. But aside from tossing the subsidiary of a out-of-state company a temporary lifeline, we see no broader benefits coming from such an arrangement, only risks. Last week, the Warren County Board of Supervisors tasked their attorney with researching their options, while the Department of Conservation and the Adirondack Park Agency look into the permitting process. We encourage our elected state and local officials to sound off against this arrangement, that is, unless they want to be in the tanker storage business. Such an agreement would only be within the best interests of one group. And that, we feel, violates the spirit of the Adirondack Park.

Consequences to raising minimum wage To the Editor: There are serious social consequences to a mandated high minimum wage that proponents need to consider other than as just a temporary band-aid fix to the issue of living wage inequality -- whether perceived or real. As minimum wage battles rage between employees: “A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats” and “Thank You for Courageous Stand on Minimum Wage”; and employers: “The Other Side of Minimum Wage”, keep in mind that there is a whole new generation of “smart” robots in the works just waiting to replace expensive employees. Before smart robot technology, labor could essentially dictate wage demands because companies had few viable alternatives to stay in business. But, now, powerful smart robots are shifting the balance of power. Think: driverless cars, drones and robotic food servers. Look at how even early-generation “dumb” robots have transformed business! When employee labor costs became unsustainable because of high union wage and benefit demands, automobile manufacturers replaced employees with mechanical robots to the extent that the newest plants essentially build far better cars far more efficiently than early plants -- with far less labor! And so it has been for every other business that needed to control labor costs. Likewise, when employee labor costs become unsustainable because of high minimum wage demands, do high minimum wage proponents expect businesses to just role over and absorb the new employee overhead costs� You can “bet the farm” that smart robot technology will be used to replace employees – and sooner than you think! Automation has been going on for decades. Early “dumb” robots mainly replaced repetitive assembly line tasks. The difference, however, is that today’s “smart” robots can replace individual employees doing individual tasks that involve decision-making. It’s entirely within the capability of smart robots to do the work of most employees. Bloomberg News and the Wall Street Journal put the number at 50 percent. I would guess 80 to 90 percent! With a $15 dollar minimum wage looming, it’s very reasonable to expect to see the first completely automated employee-free fast food businesses in only a few years -- at the most! Will it be McDonald’s, Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken or, some startup newcomer� Closer to home (Plattsburgh): How about the first fully automated newspaper� Denpubs, perhaps� With satellite communications, cloud-storage data bases, drones and driverless cars who needs reporters and support staff when smart technology can do all these things� (Not at all a bad idea, Dan!) I don’t want to appear heartless, because I’m not, and just let employees displaced by smart technology fend for themselves -- which is essentially what happens after unemployment insurance benefits run out. Personally, I’ve been on both sides of the fence and understand how hard it is to earn a living in contemporary U.S. Society WHETHER AS AN EMPLOYEE OR AS AN EMPLOYER. As I have stated frequently in letters to this newspaper, I firmly stand by my assertion that it is not the job of American businesses to provide living wage jobs for employees. Mismanagement by government at all levels, of the effects of new smart technologies upon sustainable creation of living wage jobs is causing a serious social problem. It is the Federal government’s job to fix the problems that IT caused, not business caused. But, that’s the subject of another letter! David Safrany Half Moon Bay, CA
Thank You from the Eric Loiselle family To the Editor: Thank you will never say enough to everyone who participated in the Highway Dedication in honor of Sergeant Eric P. Loiselle in Olmstedville on Sunday, August 30, 2015. What a beautiful and memorable ceremony! A special Thank You to Sheriff Richard Cutting and the Essex County Officers for put-
ting together such a beautiful tribute; Senator Betty Little and Assemblyman Dan Stec for your kind words; Bailey Margaret Williams for a wonderful singing of the National Anthem; Pastor Chad Hanneman for your prayers and support; the Plattsburgh Police Pipe and Drum Corp for the beautiful music; Wayne Williams and Edward Donley for playing Taps, the Patriot Riders for such an impressive flag presence; the Town of Minerva for helping in the planning of this event; NYS Police and Warren County Sheriffs for your participation; Minerva Service Organization for all your help with the dessert refreshments; Minerva First Responders; Mike Corey for being our photographer; Honored Guests and all attendees who took time from a beautiful Sunday afternoon to make the day special and offer your support. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The family of Sgt. Eric P. Loiselle Minerva
Enough is enough To the Editor: On August 25, the Town Board of Ticonderoga passed Resolution #2732015 to hold an advisory referendum asking “Should the storage building at the Ticonderoga Armory be converted for use for the Ticonderoga Police Department�” Later in the week the Town Supervisor received a letter from Commissioner RoAnn M. Destito of the NYS Office of General Services (OGS) stating that “police activity, including the departure of police vehicles on emergency calls on such a small parcel, in our view are inconsistent with the current use and would violate the deed covenant.” Commissioner Destito concluded that the OGS has “determined that the plan may not proceed as described.” To persist in holding an advisory referendum in view of the OGS determination makes no sense. It’s time to put the Armory issue to bed and begin serious, practical study of viable options for relocating the Ticonderoga Police Department. The current process has been a waste of time, energy, and money. Whether you are a parent or grandparent of children participating programs at the Armory, or the child or grandchild of seniors utilizing the property, the Police Department proposal has been unviable from the start. It’s a shame that it took a determination from the OGS to put the brakes on a move that made no sense from the beginning. I look forward to the Town Board rescinding Resolution #273-2015 for an advisory referendum and moving forward with examining practical alternatives for a desperately needed police department building.

Exciting news at Ti High To the Editor: The Ticonderoga Central School District is committed to providing every student in our school community with all the tools they need to succeed, including providing nutritious meals that everyone can enjoy together. That is why we are excited to announce that we have qualified for the Community Eligibility Provision of the Free and Reduced School Lunch Program, which means that we are able to offer school breakfast and lunch to all students at no charge. All children enrolled in our school can eat free and there is no application required. We are writing to share this exciting news with you and to ask that you help ensure our meal program is a success by having your child participate in school breakfast and lunch every single day. We believe participation in the school breakfast and lunch program is important for a couple of reasons. First, we will be able to offer nutritious meals and teach the students the importance about making healthy choices when it comes to their diet. Secondly, participating in breakfast and lunch gives the students the tools to concentrate better, learn more, and saves you time and money at home. Because we received confirmation of this grant after our school calendars went to print, the application for free and reduced breakfast and lunch was included in the mailing. Please disregard that paperwork as these forms are no longer required. I hope you will join us and the school community in supporting this great new program by participating in the breakfast and lunch program. Please feel free to contact the school with any questions or special dietary needs. John C. McDonald Superintendant of Schools Mrs. Laurie Cossey Business Administrator
Get me out of Dodge To the Editor: I have been here seven years designing and building Rustic furniture. I go to auctions and sales. My store is full, every inch with furniture, collectibles and art. I have the best spot in the center of town, with the best landlords possible. They have truly earned a place in heaven for their kindness. I feel guilty coming into my store, I could never pay all the rent I owe. They know my store is dead. In seven years with all the talk of revitalization not one of the self righteous Pompous and Pius leaders have not been in my store, just to be aware of what I do. I don’t know if they should be called Pompous and Pius or Pontius Pilate. I have over $20,000 in inventory, I want out just half of that I’ll leave the music and coffee pot on and I’ll be gone. They say I can’t leave, I’m the anchor, the anchor is on the bottom of the lake. I do love the community and the people, but that does not pay the bills. George DeMars, ADK by George Ticonderoga

It appears to be an eight-foot-diameter circle of twigs woven between and around sixteen upright poles. She referred to it as a wattle and seeing the word in print caused me to laugh out loud or LOL, as they say in text talk. How this young woman became familiar with such an ancient term is beyond me. My late mother had wattles all over the place. We had woven wattle baskets, wattle furniture and fences. We knew people who built wattle and daub chicken coops. What ever happened to that perfectly good word� We often called it “twig work.” Our son Bruce worked constructing a fabulous home in Connecticut years ago. He is a twig work expert and built fabulous things at that location. One of the exterior stairways to the second floor was made cleverly inside a huge hollowed tree. I interviewed a business woman in the High Peaks and admired the twig work railings along the steps and deck to her home. She did all the work herself. I have likewise seen beautiful wattle artwork. Twig and branch weaving is a great craft. There are so many things that can be used for wattle. A good one is bamboo, especially for weaving a privacy fence. I think we had a wattle bird cage when we lived in Massena Center. Sadly, I awoke one morning to find a smiling cat and only feathers inside the wattle. Bye bye, birdie. Hundreds of years ago, willow was the most popular material for wattle fences. It often took root and sustained itself over time. My mother always had a supply of withies stacked at the back of the shed to make wattle fences for her garden. Oh, yeah, “withy,” is another word you might not recall. Withies are the flexible branches use for weaving wattles. By the way, the wattle under a turkey’s chin is completely different. Columnist Gordie Little is a weekly contributor to Sun Community News.

Fourth annual Asian clam survey conducted on Lake George Results of the survey show two new locations and slight expansion of existing sites By Ryan Edwards
ryan@suncommunitynews.com
LAKE GEORGE — Wednesday, Sept. 2, concluded a six-day Asian clam survey of Lake George, the fourth annually since the mollusks were first discovered in the lake in 2010. As a result of the survey, two new locations of Asian clams were discovered on Lake George, and a number of existing sites saw slight expansion since last year, according to the final report. According to the Lake George Park Commission, which conducts the survey each year, unchecked populations of this invasive species can reproduce exponentially, causing negative ecological and recreational impacts to Adirondack waterbodies.
The survey saw 45 participants from elected officials, agency and nonprofit staff and concerned citizens. One among them was Assemblyman Dan Stec, who participated in the survey on Friday, Aug. 28. “The spread of invasive aquatic species has become a serious concern in the North Country and has been one of my top priorities since my time as Queensbury Town Supervisor,” Stec said in a prepared statement. “Fortunately, in this year’s budget we secured $5.8 million to fund the Invasive Species Advisory Council, $450,000 of which will go directly to Lake George.” The surveyors used handheld sieves to sift through sandy areas of the lake in order to monitor the growth of known Asian clam populations and to locate possible new locations. Four boats were used in the survey, each of which deploying a group of surveyors who took to the shorelines of approximately 200 sandy sections of the lake to search for Asian
clams, according to the final report of the survey. Any discovered clams which were believed to be Asian clams were brought to the Darrin Freshwater Institute for confirmation. SURVEY FINDINGS 1. First new site: Rogers Rock DEC Campground Beach (Hague) – Discovered a small area of Asian clams on the eastern side of the beach, approximately 30’ diameter, in which 4‐8 juvenile clams were found in every sieve. No clams were found outside of that one small area. This is the northernmost site currently known in Lake George, and is in a highly utilized area. 2. Second new site: Basin Bay Association, North side of Basin Bay (Bolton) – Clams discovered along length of beach of the Association, zero to four clams per sieve along most of the beach, mostly juvenile size class. 3. Blue Lagoon Resort Beach (Diamond Point) – Clams were discovered at this beach, which is a northward expansion of the Diamond Cove Cottages Asian clam site.
4. Veteran’s Park Beach (Bolton Landing) – Dozens of dead Asian clam shells discovered at the beach north of the wooden dock on the south of the property, at the outer edge of the swimming area. This is likely an expansion of the Norowal Marina site, although no live or dead clams have been discovered here until this year’s survey. Will monitor closely. 5. LG Steamboat Company (Lake George) – Dead Asian clams discovered under the steamboat berthing site at the Steamboat Company, discovered by Darrin Freshwater Institute independent of this study. The site lies between the known sites of Million Dollar Beach and Shepherd Park Beach, but is some distance from either. 6. All 14 previously known sites were confirmed to still have populations of Asian clams in varying degrees of density (a few clams per square meter up to more than one thousand clams per square meter). Further study this fall will identify relative densities of the known sites.
New ‘sensory garden’ at Up Yonda Farm entrances visitors By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
BOLTON — People of all ages are now exploring sights, sounds, smells and textures of nature at a new attraction at Up Yonda Farm Environmental Farm environmental education center in Bolton. Alice’s Sensory Garden at Up Yonda is now being enjoyed by people of all ages, Up Yonda director Matt Sprow said this week. “It’s a place to experience nature with all your senses,” Sprow said, noting that the garden is among a number of new features introduced this season at Up Yonda Farm. Up Yonda Naturalist Peter Olesheski noted that for about a month, children visiting the sensory garden have been delighted with the hands-on activities which include hidden objects on the “touch tables,” learning how to nurture plants on
Rum Runners << Continued from | p. 1
Friday evening, activities begin at 6 p.m. with a procession of vintage automobiles, featuring local “federal agents” pursuing bootleggers as they travel from O.P. Fredericks restaurant in Loon Lake to the Black Bear tavern in Pottersville, proceeding onward to The Hub bistro in Brant Lake. Later, a classic Speak-Easy party is slated to start at 8 p.m. in the Panther Mountain Pub with a jazz band’s music and Charleston dancing well into the night. On Saturday, the activities begin at 10 a.m. with a breakfast and car rally at the Black Bear Restaurant, followed by an antique car chase staged at about 11 a.m. over Landon Hill to Chestertown. Simultaneously, a group of bicyclers in vintage tweed garb sets off from The Hub in Brant Lake, meeting up with the antique cars at 11:30 a.m. at the intersection of state routes 8 and 9. All join for a procession into Chestertown, ending at the ballfield behind the Chester Municipal Center on Main St. On the town recreation field, Babe Ruth baseball events will be held, in which youngsters can practice their slugging skills, or participate in a mini-carnival — new this year — complete with sack races, a pie eating contest, and games. Activities on the ballfield are scheduled from noon to about 3 p.m. Saturday. During that time period a mock U.S.O. show is to be held nearby, sponsored by the Chestertown American Legion with a variety of local talent recruited by Maria Swartz. The Legion will also be conducting a Chinese Auction during the afternoon, and local students will be selling popcorn, peanuts and
the potting bench, watching creatures cavorting in the birding area, plus playing the tuned tubular bells and other percussive instruments hanging in a musical station. The sensory garden also features a 16-foot chalkboard to foster artistic expression, games, a tea party setup, and a dinosaur discovery area with prehistoric-looking plants and mock dinosaur bones, Sprow said. He noted that Olesheski and naturalist Karen Badey were primarily responsible for designing the sensory garden. “ There’s a lot of activity packed into a relatively small area,” Sprow said. This new attraction is named for Alice Scott — she and her husband John Scott donated the farm decades ago to Warren County for use as an environmental education center. The sensory garden was completed with a grant from the Glens Falls Foundation, and with the cooperation of the Bolton Central School District.
About 40 volunteers from the school district and the general community participated in developing the new attraction, along with Up Yonda staff members. Bolton Central students and staff members were active in contributing to the project. Technology teacher Patrick Boire and his students helped create structures on site. Art teacher Amie Sawyer and her students painted percussion instruments and glazed-leaf and pressed-plant tiles now being enjoyed by people of all ages, Up Yonda staffers said. Bolton Central Superintendent Michael Graney said this week that the sensory garden was an “exciting new environment for community members and visitors alike.” The sensory garden is located at the north end of the Up Yonda property, past the sugar house on the Base Loop Trail. Most all the stations in the garden are wheelchair accessible, and the garden has an adjacent parking area reserved only for vans transporting those with mobility limitations.
Crackerjacks. At 3:30 p.m., the event’s annual Vaudeville Show, a sellout in years past, is to be held in the historic Carol Theater. The show features regional talent, comedy routines, and more. Dinner specials will be offered from 5 to 8 p.m. in various area restaurants. At 8 p.m. Saturday, the action resumes at the Panther Mountain Pub with a jazz band and the finals of the Charleston dance competition. Parties are also being held at other area restaurants and taverns throughout the North Warren area. The Speakeasy night, the vaudeville show and parties in area venues will all feature visits by costumed bootleggers, federal agents — as well as local citizens in vintage garb, said Cindy Mead of the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance, sponsor of the fest. “There will be action everywhere all weekend,” she said. “People will be dressed up in flapper outfits, three-piece suits and fedoras, partying on both Friday and Saturday.” Over the weekend, a scavenger hunt will be held in which participants visit local businesses and look for specific vintage items. People finding such artifacts are awarded tickets which are entered into a drawing for wares and services donated by area enterprises and individuals. Scheduled events end with a brunch Sunday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at The Bullhouse Restaurant in Chestertown. The weekend provides a memorable glimpse into the rich history of local communities, where rum-runners smuggling alcoholic beverages down state Rte. 9 from Canada to New York City stopped off for an overnight rest — or gambling
and revelry. Cindy Mead said this year’s Rum-Runners’ Weekend is bound to exceed expectations, considering the buzz that it has already generated. “Wear your 1920’s costume to fit in with the crowds, polish off your antique car and join the festivities,” she said. “Everybody is going to have a blast!”

Rural schools focus of upcoming forum in Schroon Lake By Christopher Pratt
christopher@suncommunitynews.com
SCHROON — Officials at the Schroon Lake Central School have planned an evening of events focused on issues affecting rural schools on Tuesday, Sept. 15. At 6 p.m., a tour of the school and a discussion on community partnerships will take place; then at 7 pm., a presentation on the challenges facing rural school and rural community will commence. The event will feature two guest presenters with insights on the topic. They are John Sipple, a professor at Cornell University; and David Allan Little, a lawyer with the Rural Schools Association of New York State. The event was spearheaded by a committee led by Schroon Lake school board president Robert Claus, according to Superintendent Stephen Gratto. This project will aim to help educate the larger community about issues facing the district, Gratto said. “I think it will be a pretty interesting evening for all involved,” he said. All people in the community -- not just parents and teachers -- are invited to attend the event, Gratto noted. “We want them to take advantage of it.”

INDIAN LAKE — From Sept. 16 through Sept. 20, the Hamlets of Indian Lake, Sabael and Blue Mountain Lake will be hosting one of the largest gatherings of antiques dealers the area has ever seen. Dealer setup for this growing, annual event will begin along Main Street in Indian Lake. The setup dates have always been a great time to arrive early and see the offerings as dealers are placing them in display. It is also a time when dealers visit other exhibits and do some trading and buying of their own. The show centered in Indian Lake will also be joined by the Adirondack Museum Antiques Show and Sale on the museum grounds in the Hamlet of Blue Mountain Lake. By Friday, Sept. 18, the Adirondacks
Mountain Antiques Show will definitely be in full swing and it is on Friday evening that an Antiques Auction will take place in the Indian Lake Theater from 7 to 10 p.m. There will be a preview of all the items in the auction from 4 to 7 p.m. that Friday evening. During the preview, there will be a silent auction on specific items of interest, as well as a barbecue dinner with plates provided by “The Pig Deli” adjacent to the theater. The antiques auction is being held to raise funds for the Indian Lake Theater, Inc. and the Indian Lake Community Development Corporation (ILCDC). As such, items donated for auction may be tax deductible. All revenues will go toward funding the activities of these important community resources. Those interested in donating antique or collectible items to the auction should contact Bob Armstrong at 352-1993.
Branch Manager Karen Smith and Bonnie Cleveland of the Helpers Fund celebrate the Community Appreciation Day at Glens Falls National Bank and Trust Company’s Chestertown Office. The Chestertown Office of Glens Falls National Bank and Trust Company raised over $400 for the Helpers Fund during its Community Appreciation Day earlier this month.

ADK Wild appeals to Gov. Cuomo on discarded oil tank cars Join other environmental groups opposing plans for Saratoga-North Creek Railroad NEWCOMB — In a letter released today, Adirondack Wild: Friends of the Forest Preserve appealed to Governor Andrew Cuomo to take action on a proposal by a private rail company to store hundreds of discarded oil tank cars on railroad tracks in the High Peaks region of the Adirondack Park. The company, Saratoga-North Creek Railroad owned by Iowa Pacific Holdings, recently announced a plan to store up to 500 oil tank cars on the Tahawus railroad spur in the Adirondack towns of Newcomb and Minerva. Adirondack Wild’s letter disputes Iowa Pacific’s claim that its plan is not subject to state review or approval, asserting that the company’s proposed storage of discarded oil tank cars on tracks located on private lands requires permits from the Adirondack Park Agency and the Department of Environmental Conservation. The group also

Robin Mahler, whose family has owned the neighboring lot for nine years, wrote a letter, dated Aug. 22, to both Anand and the APA expressing several concerns about the project. Mahler said in her letter that, after reading the APA section on development consideration, she concluded the plant would neither improve nor maintain the existing quality of the water, that clear-cutting the property will disturb the existing topography and that the pellet-making process would pollute the air. “Maybe the proposed project should seek an existing saw mill, instead of putting a wood pellet factory in the middle of a residential area, where children play without the fear of heavy traffic on a daily basis on a beautiful back country road,” she wrote. Anand refuted these claims, asserting that the pellet-making process creates no mess and no pollution, and that the only by-product of the process is steam, which is used to compact the debris into dense pellets for prolonged burning. Warrensburg Town Justice and Zoning Board member Bryan Winslow and his wife Donne-lynn wrote a similar letter to Anand and the APA, dated Aug. 15. In their letter to Anand, the Winslows,
argues that the storage of oil tank cars on tracks located on state-owned Forest Preserve lands would violate Article 14 of the New York State Constitution, which requires that those lands be kept “forever wild.” The discarded oil tank cars that would be stored are DOT-111 rail cars, which have been involved in numerous derailments resulting in fires, explosions and spills are required to be phased out by recently enacted federal regulations. Iowa Pacific has conceded that the discarded tank cars will contain an unspecified amount of oil. Adirondack Wild’s letter points out that the tracks where the oil tank cars would be stored are adjacent to the Hudson, Boreas and Opalescent rivers, which are protected under the New York Wild, Scenic and Recreational Rivers Act, and that a derailment or spill could have very negative ecological consequences. The letter also decries the impact the project would have on the Park’s scenic resources. Adirondack Wild’s Acting Chair Christopher Amato said, “Iowa Pacific’s proposal to turn the Tahawus Tract and High Peaks area of the Park into an oil train junk-
who live in Warrensburg, wrote, “We do commend you for the improvements in Warrensburg and your visions. However, this is not the appropriate place for this project!” In their letter to the APA, the Winslows claim that 15 years ago they sold the Mud Street property to the party who recently put it on the market. The property, they said, was created as part of a subdivision for residential use. “The topography will not support more than single family residences,” the Winslows wrote. “Wells in the area are drilled 500-700 feet and supply about a gallon of water an hour. A factory could deplete all neighbors water.” They continue that the property, “as [they] recall,” neighbors a wetlands, and that the road is closed to vehicles of a certain weight “many months of the year,” apparently suggesting the increased traffic would damage the road. A Sept. 1 email sent to the Lotus offices by Mud Street resident and land-owner Russell Howe suggested the noise created by the factory would disturb the tranquility of the area. “This area is a small slice of heaven,” Howe wrote. “It is quiet, peaceful and we want to keep it that way.” At the press conference, Anand responded to this claim by asserting that the process creates “literally no noise.”
yard shows a shocking lack of sensitivity to the ecological, scenic and tourism values of this unique region. We urge Governor Cuomo to use the state’s authority to enjoin this hazardous and ill-advised scheme.” Adirondack Wild Partner David Gibson said, “Iowa Pacific is proposing to place irreplaceable natural, scenic and historic resources, and economically important tourism in the central Adirondacks at risk. These are resources that the people of the State, the Town of Newcomb, the State College of Environmental Science and Forestry, and others have invested in heavily. They deserve the highest levels of concern and protection.” Adirondack Wild Partner Dan Plumley said, “Iowa Pacific’s plan to industrialize this headwaters region of the central Adirondack Park places corporate convenience and profits ahead of natural resource protection, wilderness appreciation, and rural Park communities dependent on a healthy environment. That is wrong, and Governor Cuomo should intervene.”
He continued that any noise the factory might create would be made within a 10,000 square foot building within a 28-acre property, rendering it virtually inaudible by sheer distance. Anand said some Lotus projects have been met with resistance in the past, but he was “shocked and saddened” by the unprecedented letter-writing campaign. “The whole project was to make something we don’t have here, like we always do,” he said. Anand said he plans to officially withdraw his application to the APA this week, and he and his team are seeking alternative locations for the factory in Plattsburgh and Vermont. ‘QUALITY NOT QUANTITY’ In the wake of this community backlash, Anand said he has begun to re-think his local strategy. From now on, Anand said he and the Lotus Group intend to implement a new policy centered on “quality, not quantity,” resolving to focus their energies on the numerous enterprises they currently own and operate in the area. An example of this new strategy is Anand’s recent decision to cancel his plan to convert the neighboring historic barn building on the newly acquired Gristmill property in Warrensburg into a brewery, choosing instead to
focus on his plans to improve the operations of the restaurant itself. Since purchasing the restaurant, Anand has announced that he intends to continue its operations year-round for the first time since the ‘80s to keep his 24 restaurant employees working all year. “The Gristmill employees typically go out and hunt for jobs in the winter, and we don’t want them to have to do that anymore,” Anand said. The Lotus Group also intends to improve the exterior and interior of the iconic River Street eatery, Anand said, including the utilization of a currently unused third level, the addition of river-front seating and the expansion of the menu to be “more welcoming” to patrons who aren’t necessarily seeking a formal, two-hour dining experience. Anand reported that the restaurant saw one of its busiest nights in years over Labor Day Weekend, serving around 200 dinners on Sunday night alone. Although his current enterprises continue to thrive, Anand said, he is disappointed by the resistance he and the Lotus Group have been met with in the area. “For everything I have done here, I have had a push-back,” Anand said. “Going to work every morning with passion — that’s what gets affected when this happens.”

Burgers stun Rye Neck Panthers in football upset
whose key players also serve on the other side of the ball — so Rye Neck’s offense lacked energy after the second quarter when they scored their two touchdowns. Stone scored the Burghers’ first three touchdowns, two of them in the first quarter. Stone, Schuster and Shambo’s yardage gains demonstrated how well the offensive line performed on Saturday, Isaiah Pasco, Alex Barber, Jarod West, Brady Rounds, Brandon Turner, John Kindred and Jason Baker are among those serving on this line squad that pushed their competition out of the way during the season opener, Leonbruno said. “Our coaching staff knew we’ve got a special team this year,” he said. “Our players have been working their butts off in the weight room — and the difference in strength and speed from last year is incredible.” Leonbruno added that the Burgher defense had some trouble at first containing Rye Neck, but got into their groove soon afterwards. “We made several early-season mistakes, but our players didn’t let it get them down — they stayed positive,” he said.

Cougars prevail v. Bolton-Wbg. By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
CHESTERTOWN — The North Warren Boys Soccer team demonstrated early-season strength Thursday Sept. 3 when it shut out the Bolton-Warrensburg team 3-0. Returning veteran Cougar player Dan Caunter scored all three goals in the contest that North Warren Coach Josh Gifford characterized as a total team effort. For the first 20 minutes of the game, the possession went back and forth until Caunter took a pass by Mike Williamson through the defense, ran one-on-one with the goalie, and kicked it into the side of the net for a score. About a minute later, Caunter scored again on a crosskick from Colin Gagnon to finish off the first half, Gifford said. “Dan Caunter is really ‘turning it on’ this year,” he said. Then about 15 minutes into the second half, Caunter scored again on a pass from Justin Needham. Gifford praised all his players for contributing to the win. “We played great possession soccer — we had really good passing — all three goals involved assists,” he said. “Our defense played great — they only allowed a few shots on goal,” Gifford continued. “We out-shot them substantially — Bolton-Warrensburg’s Joseph Turner did a great job defending their goal, with 10 saves for his team. Without his effort, the score would have been more one-sided.” During the game, Chris DeFranco had four saves for the Cougars. Two days earlier, North Warren lost their season opener 2-1 to Hadley-Luzerne despite out-shooting their competition. The Eagles’ Cody Patnode scored first on a pass from Ryan Beaury, then Caunter answered back with an unassisted goal, but Cody Patnode of Hadley-Luzerne sealed the win for his team with a goal when less than two minutes remained. In this game, Connor Backus of Hadley-Luzerne had 11 saves and Cougar Chris DeFranco tallied six. Gifford said Tuesday that the North Warren athletes are demonstrating teamwork despite the soccer season being about 10 days young. “We have a combination of hustle and possession,” he said, noting that his team consists primarily of Seniors and Juniors who are providing leadership and experience. “Since day one, we’ve said ‘No team is going to out-work us or outhustle us,’ and every one of our players has really taken this to heart.” As of press time Tuesday, the Cougars were scheduled to compete against perennial powerhouse Lake George on Wednesday, then go up against Hartford at 4:30 p.m. Friday in an Adirondack League Showcase game at Golden Goal Sports Park off state Rte. 149 in Fort Ann. •MY PUBLIC NOTICES• •MY PUBLIC

KINGSTON — Relentless strength training and long practice hours this year paid off Sept. 5 as the Warrensburg High School football team pulled off a stunning upset — defeating 2013 state champion runner-up Rye Neck 3812 in Dietz Stadium. The Class D Burghers were predicted by a national-magazine website to lose the contest to Rye Neck, a larger Class C school, by two touchdowns. Three Burgher running backs ran for more than 100 yards in merely three quarters to secure this victory that fans hope will set the stage for a successful season. Joey Schuster racked up 172 yards and scored two touchdowns, Don Stone ran for 116 yards and three touchdowns, and Greg Shambo contributed 102 yards. All this yardage was gained in the first three quarters, after which the trio of running backs were benched so the junior varsity squad could gain experience, coach Mike Leonbruno said. “We scored every time we had the ball, except for one instance when we fumbled,” Leonbruno said. “Rye Neck never stopped our drives once.” Leonbruno said his team relied on their double wing offense, in which a running back charges forward behind a wedge of blockers to gain yardage. “We stayed with the basics, and everything worked,” he said, noting the team didn’t have to rely on any of their more complex, slick plays. This locomotive-style offense wore down their defenders,
the game. Trevor Prosser and Dan Monthony have also been coached for the role of playcaller this year. Next up is Cambridge, which competed in the state championship semifinals last year. The season’s beginning lineup of Rye Neck, Cambridge and Millbrook — another state semifinalist — is likely to toughen up the Burghers, preparing them for their other opponents this season. The Cambridge game is to be held at home at 1 p.m. Saturday Sept. 12. Praising their attitude, Leonbruno said his players had practiced hard for two-and-a-half hours in the heat on Labor Day, while many other teams were taking the holiday off. “Our guys worked hard, and they wanted to be there,” he said. “For years, we’ve lacked confidence, but it’s through the roof now to start this year off. They’ll soon be proving what type of team we are.”

L.G. Boys Soccer wins first two By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
LAKE GEORGE — Living up to its long-standing reputation, the Lake George Boys Soccer team won its first two contests of 2015 by a formidable margin. The Warriors’ latest game was a 7-0 victory Sept. 3 over Corinth, which had three starters sidelined due to injuries. The Warriors played aggressive ball, scoring three goals in the first 10 minutes. The first was accomplished by Luke Vanderminden who converted an Ian Devlin pass. Soon afterwards, Alex Jones then scored twice in a two-minute span, one off a pass from Oliver Thomas, and the second on his own, which Warrior Coach Blake White said represented “a brilliant individual effort. “ Not much later, Kalab Helms scored his third goal of the season on a pass from Jones, who scored his third of the game off a header resulting from a cross-pass from Anthony Cardenas. Jacob Edwards scored two in the second half, both off leading passes from Cardenas to make it 7-0. Corinth’s goaltenders tallied 12 saves, while Eli Gowen of Lake George had two. Coach White praised his backfield for their work in the game. “Our defense was stellar throughout,” he said, noting that defenders Noah Prime, Cooper Perkett, Jacob Edwards and Clark Mularz spearheaded the effort. On Tuesday Sept. 1, Lake George prevailed over Hartford despite a 90-minute bus ride to the Tanagers’ home field. Following a short warm-up after arrival, the Warriors scored twice in the game’s first five minutes. Anthony Cardenas scored first on a long-range shot, then he assisted in the second, kicking a cross-pass to Kalab Helms as Helms was charging downfield. Helms scored again with 10 minutes left in the first half, this time unassisted. Hartford’s Jay Lawrence found a rebound a few minutes later to reduce the Warriors’ lead to 4-1. The last score of the game was accomplished as Ian Devlin passed to Luke Vanderminden — twelve yards away from the goal — and Vanderminden scored just before the first half was over. During the second half, possession alternated as both teams had scoring opportunities, but defenses were effective and the score remained 5-1 in Lake George’s favor. Over the game, Warrior goaltender Eli Gown tallied two saves and Hartford’s Aziz Jordan had 12. “It was a solid effort by all the players,” veteran coach Blake White said. As of press time, the Warriors were scheduled to take on North Warren 4:30 p.m. Wednesday Sept. 9 at home, play against the “World Cup” squad at 3:45 p.m. Thursday Sept. 10 at home, then compete against the Bolton-Warrensburg team at 4:15 p.m. Monday Sept. 14 on the Bolton field.

Trip up Jimmy’s Peak has historic aspects By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
WARRENSBURG — Area residents are invited to take a climb up Jimmy’s Peak, the mountain steeped in history that in recent years captured international attention over its official naming. Lillie Cameron of Thurman is inviting all to participate in the climb up Jimmy’s Peak, which is named after James Cameron, a settler of the town of Thurman. James Cameron’s historic homestead is located in Thurman, across the Hudson river from the mountain. People are gathering for this third annual trek at 9 a.m. Sunday Sept. 27 in the parking lot of Hickory Ski Center in Warrensburg. Rex Reynolds is leading the hike, suitable for families, which takes about two hours round trip. Following the hike is a picnic at the home of Lillie Cameron — and all are invited, providing they call a week or more in advance of the trip. The reason for reservations is that Lillie Cameron, who will be 84 this month, will be preparing some fixings for the picnic. People are welcome to bring a dish to the gathering at 43 Cameron Road in Thurman. To RSVP, contact Rex Reynolds at 321-3500, or call Lillie Cameron at 623-2324 before Sept. 20. Lillie said this week that in the early 1900s, folks staying at the Cameron boarding house on Stony Creek Road started the tradition of hiking up Jimmy’s Peak or another local hill. Jimmy’s Peak received international attention in 2013 when Wall Street Journal reporter Barry Newman focused on the mountain as he examined the issue of the US. Board on Geographic Names following its long-standing policy of deleting apostrophes when officially naming mountains. A two-year campaign by Susan Jennings of Thurman to have one of the peaks of the Three Sisters Mountain range named after James Cameron culminated that year in the Board of Geographic Names officially designating Bald Mountain’s highest summit as “Jimmys Peak” — a move that irked grammar aficionados. James Cameron was a pioneer, woodsman, farmer and justice of the peace who settled in the valley in 1773, and is one of the founders
of Thurman. Rex Reynolds noted that during the Sept. 27 excursion up Jimmy’s Peak, he will be showing hikers the eye bolts that once held down James Cameron’s observation tower, used to observe the movements of American troops during the Revolutionary War. Known as “Tory Jim,” Cameron was loyal to the British Monarchy, Reynolds said.
An upcoming hike up Jimmy’s Peak in Warrensburg will likely include historical commentary by excursion guide Rex Reynolds, talking about Thurman settler James Cameron, for whom Jimmy’s Peak was formally named by U.S. officials in 2013. That naming garnered international attention, as the U.S. Board on Geographical Names followed its policy to delete apostrophes, irking grammar enthusiasts across the world — prompting an write-up in the Wall Street Journal.

‘Greezed Lightnin’ to strike at Great Escape By Ryan Edwards
ryan@suncommunitynews.com
QUEENSBURY — Six Flags Great Escape’s Thunder Alley will see a little lightning for the 2016 season — an addition that will change the park’s iconic skyline forever. Scores of excited guests braved the blistering heat last Thursday, Sept. 3, to hear Park President Eric Gilbert personally announce the addition of Greezed Lighnin’, a new attraction to be erected front and center in one of the most historic and visible sections of the park. Situated directly across from Thunder Alley — a rail car ride featuring ‘50s automobiles and rock n’ roll music — this new 70’ foot, 360 degree single-loop coaster will seat 24 riders in “face-off ” position, building momentum as it rocks back and forth until it reaches its maximum height. From there riders will be left hanging for what park officials call “one of the longest suspended hang-times,” before they do it all over again, completing a total of seven rotations facing forward and backward. Gilbert said that the entire section of the park will get a facelift for next season, retaining yet enhancing its ’50s feel. “We are also excited that the ride will have a flashy 50’s theme to ‘recharge’ this historic section of our park,” he said. “It gives us a chance to do more with this ride and do more with this area — and really spruce up our curb-line.” While Gilbert said he could not provide the exact figure for the cost of the coaster, he said it is one of the most significant expenditures made at the park. Technically, he said, this ride will be the park’s seventh roller coaster. He added that the ride will add balance to the section of the park in that the area will now offer three kids rides— Thunder Alley, boat rides and a kids train called Convoy— as well as three thrill rides—The Sasquatch, The Boomerang and now Greezed Lightnin’. “This ride will stand as an icon, and really improve and bolster the skyline of the Great Escape,” he said.

Hunting & Fishing: Autumn on the rise
O
utdoor enthusiasts recently had an opportunity to enjoy some of the best weather available in the Adirondacks over the long, Labor Day weekend with blue skies, a warm sun and a gentle breeze making for pleasant outdoor travels. The trailheads were packed with hikers and it seemed there was a canoe or kayak atop every other vehicle on the road.. The waters were still warm enough for swimming, and cool evening temperatures seem to have taken a toll on the flying insects. The hillsides are already providing evidence of autumn, as signs of fall color can be found from the bogs to the summits. Brook trout are already sporting their bright crimson spawn garb, and I expect salmon will soon be getting ready for their annual, fall spawn run. It will be very interesting to see how the salmon season shakes out on the Boquet River in Willsboro, following the removal of the old mill dam. For decades, salmon from the Big Lake have ventured upstream on their annual spawn run in their efforts to find suitable spawning beds. Unfortunately, their annual trek has been hindered over the years by a variety of obstacles, ranging from low water levels, old dams and small armies of rod bearing anglers. Although there have been a variety of measures implemented to assist salmon with their annual upriver journey, including the development of a fish ladder; the majority of the silvery spawners were doomed to languish in a single small pool located about a 100 yards downstream from both the dam and the fish ladder. Earlier in the week, I took a ride over to Willsboro to see the results of the dam removal. I was surprised to see the extent of the resulting mudflats, as well as the significant reduction in water levels. On the day of my visit, the sun was brilliant,
and the birds seemed to be having a field day feasting on the mussels, crayfish, minnows and a variety of other unfortunate creatures that were exposed by the diminished waters. Downstream of the bridge in the middle of the village, the river appeared to be less than half its normal width. The mudflats extended upstream above the bridge, and beyond the firehouse, where former rapids appeared to be just a pile of boulders. While it is surely difficult for residents of the community to see their old river in such a disheveled state, it must also be exciting. There is already a small archeological display, where local residents have dragged the remains of a few old vehicles, barrels and what-not. There is no doubt the change is difficult, especially for those who must experience it in their own front or backyards. However, rivers can be very dynamic, as most North County residents know all too well, especially in light of the 500 year floods that have swept through the area in recent years. With the dam removal, the river will eventually return to a natural state over the course of time. It has been flowing out of the Dix Range, in the High Peaks for eons and there is nothing mankind can do to stop it. Downstream of the dam site, the new water levels now allow visitors to inspect the ancient bedrock, where unique geological features such a ‘auger holes’ can be found. Dipping into the base of an auger hole will provide handfuls of smooth, round rocks that have been polished over the centuries. While it is obvious there is much more work yet to be done on the site, I expect the project will eventually prove to be of great benefit to the community, the fish and the wildlife. It will be interesting to watch the various stages of the natural recovery process. I do hope plans include aggressive efforts to restore native vegetation along the newly exposed river corridor, before the current mud flats are overrun by an invasive species such as Japanese Knotweed, which has already choked off several sections of the river and a few of the smaller tributaries. Downstream of the old dam, the river appears to be rehabbing quite well, although there is obviously much more work to be done in the ongoing effort to clean up the remains of the former industrial infrastructure that has been around for over two hundred years.
Licenses and the new hunting season If you have not yet purchased your annual hunting and
fishing license, you’re in for a real surprise. As the fishing begin season to winds down, and the prospect of hunting season looms on the near horizon, it is time for sportsmen, and women to purchase a new license. Due to the recent restructuring of the DECALS (DEC’s automated licensing system), the new license year for hunters began on September 1 and it will end on August 31 of 2016. The new license structure which began on February 1, 2014, changes the types of licenses available and the fees associated with those licenses. These changes include reduced fees, reduced number of licenses and if you usually purchased a combination licenses, like a Super Sportsman, you will now have to purchase each privilege separately, including fishing. It seems that just when we had finally figured out how to get the best deal on a combined hunting and fishing package, the rules were changed. However, it is important to remember NY State still offers one of the best bargains in the country, when it comes to hunting, fishing and outdoor adventures. Where else can you legally set up a camp on state land for four months of the year, without paying any rent� Only during the hunting season! Combine the free camping with some very generous bag limits for fish, fowl, game as well as the free wild foragibles, and you’ve got the best outdoor deal in the country! Be advised that small game hunters seeking grouse or red squirrel prior to October 1, will need to have a current year, small game license. Likewise, bear hunters and early bow hunters must have a current year’s tag if they intend to hunt during the Early Bow season which begins on September 27. The new system which will allow hunters to be in the woods from September 1 through August 30, will not permit hunters to carry over unused tags from last year’s season as it has in the past. Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.
With the river corridor restored to a more natural state, the Boquet River may soon host a fresh run of landlocked salmon that will have the ability to migrate for many miles upstream during their annual spawning run.

Visit historic White Pine Camp in Paul Smiths. White Pine Camp is an Adirondack Great Camp on Osgood Pond. It served as the Summer White House for US President Calvin Coolidge from July 7 through Sept. 18, 1926. Adirondack Great Camps like White Pine Camp are grand and fanciful log mansions, built in the latter half of the 19th century along the rugged lake shores or mountain sides of upstate New York. It was a time when cities were expanding and the natural world seemed too far away. The foremost families of the era — including the Coolidges — needed an escape, and suddenly found they had a yearning for wooded retreats of great but rustic comfort.
Wednesday tours are offered at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. at White Pine Camp from June 17 to Sept. 30. The cost is $12 for adults and $6 for children. No reservations are required. Call 327-3030 for more information.

One Hundred Years Ago – September, 1915
Collision on Ridge Street Carson Hamilton, 15 years old, the son of Attorney and Mrs. Fred L. Hamilton is employed as “devil” in the Warrensburgh News office. While going home from his work on his bicycle shortly after 6 o’clock Tuesday evening, Aug. 31, 1915, young Hamilton collided with an automobile at the foot of Ridge Street and escaped death by a single turn of an auto wheel, which rested against his neck when the heavy machine was stopped. Had the machine gone a foot further, it would have crushed the boy’s life out instantly. As the boy rode off from the Osborne Bridge, on the Ridge Street end, Counselor Louis E. Crandall, the boy’s cousin by the way, was coming up River Street from Lewisville in his automobile, running at ordinary speed. Supposing that Mr. Crandall was going to turn on to the bridge, the boy turned to the left to go up Ridge Street hill. The auto, however, did not turn but continued on River Street. The automobile struck the boy, crashed into the bicycle and the boy was thrown from his wheel in front of the machine. Applying his emergency brake, Mr. Crandall stopped his car just in time to save the boy’s life. Young Hamilton was taken to his home nearby dazed, but not unconscious. No bones were broken according to Dr. Goodman. The bicycle is a complete wreck, beyond repair.
Famous violinist in car crash Efrom Zimbalist, the famous violinist and husband of Alma Gluck and cashier R. Emmett Archibald, of the Lake George National Bank, were injured in an automobile accident on Monday on the Bay Road, seven miles north of Glens Falls. They were riding in Zimbalist’s auto and were traveling about 14 miles an hour when the machine struck a sand spot and overturned. (Note – In this column in the Aug. 22, 2015 Adirondack Journal was the story of Madame Alma Gluck, of the grand opera stage, giving birth to a daughter, Maria Zimbalist at Glens Falls Hospital. In the past she has sung duets with opera singer Louise Homer of Lake George.)

Fish Hatchery is progressing Contractor George E. Farrar has a large force of men engaged in the construction of the State Fish Hatchery on the Ben Glynn farm in Warrensburgh and the work is progressing rapidly. Rice and Woodward’s planing mill is furnishing the material and is being run to its full capacity in order to supply the lumber needed.
Depressing weather We had a heavy frost here Friday, Aug. 27, 1915 and Saturday morning. Not much damage was done near the village, but on some farms farther away, potatoes, buckwheat and corn were killed and gardens were entirely spoiled. Potatoes were already almost a complete failure due to heavy rains which caused the tubers to rot. Lyman Hill says that the hail storm a while back ruined at least 150 bushels of his standing oats which were stripped from his fields.
Cow meets sad end During a recent thunder storm, a cow valued at seventy-five dollars, owned by R.E. Morehouse of Harrietstown, was struck and killed by lightening. The bolt had caught the cow squarely between the shoulders, leaving practically no mark on the hide, but when the latter was removed, it was found that the flesh beneath had been thoroughly cooked, so great had been the heat.
Special loved animals “Jack,” an unusually intelligent dog, for ten years attached to the family of Jerry McCarthy and his sisters, Misses Johanna and Margaret McCarthy at their farm on the Chester Road, recently sickened and died. Jack filled a cheerful presence in the home and will be greatly missed by his three devoted friends. “Mac,” a gently disposed bull dog, has lived in North Thurman for the last thirteen years, the faithful and constant companion of Charles Mosher Sr. Ailing from nerve and spinal complications, he was recently relieved forever of his sufferings to Mr. Mosher’s great regret, In other news, the Troy Times printed a picture of Miss Ethel Rooney, chief operator of the Warrensburgh Telephone Exchange and her Persian cat

Email of phone Perky Granger at PersisGranger@aol.com or 623-9305 for details about getting the paperwork, or pick up in the Thurman Town Hall entryway.
Regional Vets to be honored at annual dinner THURMAN — Area Veterans and their families are invited for the Veterans’ Appreciation Dinner Tuesday, Oct. 6, at Thurman Town Hall, from 5 to 7 p.m. The free event is hosted by the John Thurman Historical Society (JTHS), and is chaired this year by John Parker and David Newkirk. Residents of the Thurman community are asked to donate side dishes for the buffet. At the appreciation dinner, veterans of all ages from many wars convene and are invited to share stories of their time in service.

News roundabout It was just 160 years ago, Sept. 18, 1755, that Sir William Johnson held a gathering at a camp between Lake George and Lake George Battlefield Park to make plans to build Fort William Henry. Bright and early in the morning, Walter Weaver, Ben C. Gurney, Chauncey Orton and Abe Katz, with Percy Hall at the wheel, left for the State Fair at Syracuse in M.L. Messenger’s Maxwell automobile. Herschel Gallup, of Garnet, made a trip to Glens Falls recently and brought home a new five-passenger Overland automobile. Denzil Aubrey, who stepped on a broken bottle and severely cut his foot, has returned from the Glens Falls Hospital where he was taken for treatment. Horace Hack has been building a piazza on Dennis Waddell’s house at Bakers Mills. A little daughter, Beulah Mae Hack came on Sunday, Aug. 22, 1915 to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hack in Johnsburgh. Arthur Duell, of Diamond Point, has purchased the Edward Smith place from George Foster Peabody and plans to make extensive needed repairs and renovations. Henry Wescott, of Thurman, who is employed in the lumber woods at Wells, was in Bakers Mills looking for men to work with him on the job. Several men of Mike McCarthy’s river driving crew have been boarding at G.W. Smith’s at South Horicon. Weller Brother’s, at Riverbank, have taken a partner in the person of Ray Monroe, in their meat business. They now run an auto cart, buying and selling meat. Edson Baker, 83, died at his home in Thurman. He has been in failing health for several years. Mrs. Miranda Ross, 63, a life long resident of the town of Horicon, died at her home Aug. 19, 1915 of Bright’s disease. Her husband, Sidney Ross survives her. Burial was in the Horicon Cemetery. (Note – “Bright’s disease” is a malfunction of the kidneys named for Dr. Richard Bright, who died in 1858 in London.) D.F. Pasco, Dr. Parker and Edson Ingraham, all of Warrensburgh, camped out, Friday night, Aug. 20, 1915, on Crane Mountain in North Thurman at Lookout Camp, with Charles Smith. Richard Swan’s house, in Chestertown, was broken into during the absence of the family by three husky and hungry boys, who helped themselves to the desired food. The boys took a quick leave when they were discovered by Frank Swan.
United Way helps add to recovery for women vets LAKE GEORGE — Thanks to a generous contribution from United Way Adirondack Region, Creative Healing Connections was able to give scholarships for women veterans to attend their arts and reintegration retreat this August at Wiawaka Center for Women on Lake George. The retreat provided participants an opportunity to meet other women veterans living with similar challenges such as PTSD and MST, in a peaceful natural setting. The veterans engaged in a wide variety of activities designed to enhance one’s quality of life. Experiences include everything from nature walks, yoga and massage to learning how to express oneself through the arts. Wiawaka Center for Women on Lake George is the country’s oldest retreat site for women. Founded by the Suffragettes of Troy, the women love the camaraderie, share stories, and being in a safe place where one can freely express feelings and gain wisdom from others. “The individual is able to control their level of comfort and take from the retreat as much or as little as she wants,” said Colleen O’Connor, an Army veteran who attended. “It was an odd feeling to have control. As a Veteran, to have an option of control and decision-making is foreign. This retreat reached to the deepest depth of my soul.” “United Way’s contribution is invaluable, as it helps us ensure that any woman who wishes to attend can afford to do so,” said Carolyn Bischoff, director of Creative Healing Connections. “We greatly appreciate their support.” Creative Healing Connection’s next retreat is for women living with cancer and other chronic illness, and will be held at Great Camp Sagamore in Raquette Lake, Friday, Sept. 18 to Sept. 20, during the peak of the fall foliage season. Scholarships and some spaces are available for this retreat. Those interested are urged to contact Carolyn Bischoff at 538-6723, and email director@creativehealingconnections.org.
