THURMAN Ñ Following a long-standing local custom of reaching out to others in need, a local couple has been holding a barn party each fall for eight years Ñ to raise money for a family facing a hardship or serious illness. Jamiee and Roy Ross’s annual Benefit Barn Party,
a popular event, is to be held from noon to about 11 p.m. Saturday Oct. 11 — and this year it’s to benefit the family of nine-year-old Skyler Castro, who is now undergoing treatment for bone cancer. People from all over the region are invited Ñ just bring a dish to pass and be ready to enjoy some lively mountain music, bid on donated goods and services to be auctioned, and enjoy some hometown hospitality Ñ while providing vital help to a family in need. The live-
ly party has annually attracted from 150 to 300 people. Interviewed Tuesday night while at work driving a truck through the Capital Region, Roy Ross said that the barn party tradition started in 2006. Held in honor of JamieeÕ s mother Betty Thayer Ñ who died of cancer in the mid-2000s Ñ the party was to dedicate the barn. CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Annual Ragnar relay makes way from Saratoga to Lake Placid By Maggie Morgan
maggie@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ The annual Ragnar race came and went, leaving the streets paved with the footprints of over 3,600 participants. The two day event begins in Saratoga Springs and ends in Lake Placid, covering approximately 200 miles of Adirondack terrain. Ò Everything went smooth,Ó says Ragnar Representative Tracy Whittaker. Ò We are usually the first to know of any accidents.” Whittaker reported that the Adirondack edition of the Ragnar Series is one of the most popular races. Ò The area is so beautiful that we have people travel from all over the country to be here,Ó said Whittaker. The preliminary results are a testament to this statement. The overall winners for this yearÕ s ADK Ragnar were the Saucony Shadow Makers, which is comprised of members from Seattle, Dallas, Toronto, Los Angeles, and other far away destinations. The ADK Ragnar Race had over 300 teams participating, with 12 people on each team. The race has each member start in various regions across the track with 36 exchange points along the way. Each runner has three legs during the
race, averaging between three to eight miles each. Along the way, participants were invited to rest, drink, and eat at various exchange points, pumping each other up and talking about the journey thus far. Lake George looked a little different last weekend, as determined athletes scurried through the village in brightly colored vests. The Lake George exchange point, at Million Dollar Beach, was bustling with tired yet focused runners waiting for their next turn to run. Those brave enough to partake in the two day marathon at least have the glistening lake, the inviting villages, tall forests, and colorful leaves to keep them distracted from their heavy breathing. Anyone competing in the event is already a champion, as it is a challenging endeavor that requires both skill on the individual level and an intense amount of team spirit. However, like any atheletic event, there is always a winner. The kings and queens of the Adirondack Park who ran the roads (be them paved and straight or dirt and windy) have been announced and listed on the official Ragnar Race website. The preliminary winners for the top three teams in all 17 divisions will be awarded a baton with the race they participated in, the placement, and the division.

Lake George official: Replace the village sewer plant?
By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ Convened for a rare joint meeting Sept. 22, the Lake George Village and Town boards heard from village Public Works Superintendent Dave Harrington Sept. 22 that Lake GeorgeÕ s sewer treatment plant may be too outmoded to save. Although the village has been engaged for years in initial steps to upgrade the plant to remove nitrates from its effluent, a sewer task force has suggested the treatment plant be entirely rebuilt, Harrington told the board members. The village was served by a consent order early this summer by the state Department of Environmental Conservation. The order mandates that the village take action to clean up the effluent, particularly reducing nitrates dramatically. Replacing the plant might cost $10 million, according to initial estimates, Harrington said,
noting that a new plant would have far cleaner effluent — as pure as drinking water, he said. Harrington said he and the task force Ñ composed of officials from state and independent environmental agencies have been conferring with municipal engineers, and they have suggested the option of building a new municipal treatment plant, as it may be more cost-efficient than retrofitting the existing one. Ò WeÕ re looking at the option of building a completely new plant with new technology,Ó he said, noting that some modern, efficient plants use membrane bio-reactors to purify sewage. The village has recently hired the engineering firm AES Northeast to study the village’s existing waste treatment system and report their findings to the village board, complete with recommended actions — either retrofitting or replacing the treatment plant. The study and report are expected to take six to eight months to complete, Harrington said. Ò Hopefully we can begin construction in fall
2016 based on the findings contained in the report,Ó Harrington said. Over the last several years, Lake George Village has spent about $1.5 million on upgrading aspects of the plant Ñ initial steps in a renovation project expected to cost $2.3 million or so. The work has included replacing sand beds, constructing a new sewage receiving system and installing new valves in the secondary treatment system. Harrington said that almost all the upgraded equipment could be utilized if a new plant were built. In related action, the village board approved, with the endorsement of the town board, conducting inspections of the pumps in the townÕ s Caldwell Sewer DistrictÕ s two pump stations for up to $8,500. The boards also approved ultrasound testing of the pipes in the pump stations for up to $2,000, and installation of new pump alarms at a cost of $1,400. Hearing of the pending multi-million costs
Thurman Fall Farm Tour set for Oct. 11
THURMAN Ñ The town of Thurman celebrates heritage of living in harmony with its forests and farms during the Oct. 11 Thurman Fall Farm Tour, a free family-friendly annually-expanding Ò ad-ventÓ that features guided site tours, talks, demonstrations, hands-on experiences, kidsÕ activities and lots of samples and sales of locally-produced goods. The free self-guided Thurman Fall Farm Tour spotlights a town hall quilt show and seven farms, each with unique offerings--two maple farms, a goat and sheep cheese dairy, a certified tree farm, a llama mini-farm, an all-natural veggie and poultry operation, and, new this year, an herb and vegetable farm. These eight Ò anchor sitesÓ host multiple guest vendors and heritage artisans to create an expanded experience that is rich in Adirondack heritage - and just plain fun.

ties for young and old, old farm equipment, artistic garden accents - and even a chance to experience Reiki, try dowsing for water, or potting a pine to take home. Visitors will find fluffy pancakes with sausages (and pure maple syrup, of course); a volunteer fire company chicken barbecue with all the fixinÕ s; fresh homemade bread and rolls; a wide variety of olive oils and related products, gluten-free baked goodsÉ all good. Find The Bluebillies performing bluegrass and traditional tunes, with featured guest David Bevins, national dobro champion, at Nettle Meadow Farm from 12:30 to 3 p.m. At MartinÕ s Lumber, the guitar and mountain dulcimer duo of Kenney & LaPrairie be pickinÕ on the porch as the spirit and requests move them, so while you are enjoying the various artisan displays there, just ask for a tune or two.

that the local taxpayers may be facing, village board members said that the sewage treatment costs should be shouldered by residents and businesses hooked up the system, based on their useage, rather than be born by all the taxpayers and based on their propertyÕ s assessed valuation. Village Trustee John Root said that the rates werenÕ t fair, citing that the local laundromat, a busy enterprise discharging thousands of gallons per day, pays less than many homeowners who merely have one bathroom and discharge a small fraction of that amount. Lake George Mayor Bob Blais said the village would consider realigning how sewer expenses are paid for, a topic they have discussed in the past. Also, Village Clerk Darlene Gunther reported that the recent repairs to the townÕ s sewer mains, which were taking in groundwater particularly along Beach Road, had reduced the townÕ s bill for sewer treatment by $85,000.

Warren County meetings now broadcast on YouTube and TV8 By Thom Randall
she was in favor of the video recordings. For months, she has been posting audio recordings of Thurman town board meetings on the townÕ s website. Ò I like the idea of the video recordings,Ó she said. Ò But while I like the idea of increasing county government transparency, I am concerned that many rural areas of the county donÕ t have Internet access.Ó
thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY Ñ Warren County citizens can now watch Ñ at their convenience Ñ county government leaders as they make decisions affecting the municipalityÕ s 65,000-plus residents. The various committee meetings of the Warren County Board of Supervisors are now being regularly posted on the Internet website YouTube, and the monthly meetings of the full board are being broadcast on WNCE-TV8, also known as Look TV. As of Sept. 30, five current county meetings were posted on YouTube. County Administrator Paul Dusek said that he expects that subsequent meetings will be posted within 72 hours of when they are held, if not sooner. Ò These videos are to give the public more information and an unfiltered perspective on the county governmentÕ s decision-making process,Ó he said. County supervisors have expressed their thoughts about the video recordings Ñ wondering whether it would prompt more grandstanding among politicians, or help quell the emotionalism that often surfaces in the meetings. Others have speculated that video recording the meetings will boost the county supervisorsÕ attendance. WNCE-TV8 video-recorded the September meeting of the full Warren County Board of Supervisors and aired it at 2:30 p.m. Friday Sept. 19, just hours after it occurred. Jesse Jackson, CEO of WNCE-TV8 said Tuesday that plans call for the the station to broadcast the meetings on a regular basis Ñ at 2:30 p.m. on the third Friday of the month, then 11 additional times on Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons, until the next monthly meeting is held. Ò The fact that people of Warren County can be informed and updated on issues that affect their lives, is very valuable,Ó Jackson said. Ò This element of transparency in government really appeals to me.Ó The television station also records and broadcasts the regular meetings of the Queensbury
French and Indian War encampment at Ft. William Henry

town board and the Saratoga Springs city council, he said. Ò These are popular programs, and they provide a window into local government,Ó he said. The public broadcasting of the county meetings, Jackson said, were in part a response to requests by Queensbury at-large supervisors Mark Westcott and Doug Beaty, who have lobbied for government meetings on popular issues to be held evenings so more citizens could see their representatives in action. Queensbury Supervisor Rachel Seeber was responsible for the meetings getting aired on YouTube, county officials said. She suggested to members of the county Support Services committee that it would be valuable to broadcast the dozen-or-so monthly committee meetings during which so much of the initial decisionmaking occurs. Board of Supervisors Chairman Kevin Geraghty said this week that he was in favor of the
public gaining information on county issues. Ò IÕ ve always been an advocate of open government,Ó he said. To find the meetings, go to www.YouTube. com and subscribe to the Warren County NY channel. Or, go to www.warrencountyny.gov and click on Ò Committee Members & Meeting MinutesÓ under the headline: County Board Agendas and ProceedingsÓ and a list of the committees can be accessed. Click on a committee name, and videos of that committee are to be posted directly underneath the minutes. As of Tuesday, only one such link was active, although four September committee meetings were available through the YouTube channel: one of Public Works, two of Social Services, and one of Human Services. Dusek said an effort was underway to simplify access to the video recordings. Ò ItÕ s a work in progress,Ó he said. Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Wood said
LAKE GEORGE Ñ The Fort William Henry Museum and French & Indian War Society will host a French and Indian War encampment on Lake George Battlefield Park over Columbus Day Weekend. The event will feature an 18th century military camp, Sutlers (18th C vendors), Native American groups, trade demonstrations, military drills and skirmishes on Saturday Oct. 11, and Sunday Oct. 12. Ò The encampment will bring history alive even for those who donÕ t like history,Ó said Melodie Viele, the fortÕ s director. Ò Visitors will be able to step back to the 18th century to see how people lived and worked in the wilderness of upstate New York.Ó Lake George Battlefield Park, now operated by New York State, was the site of William JohnsonÕ s camp during the Battle of Lake George in 1755. The entrenched camp remained even after the fort was built. Following the French siege and subsequent surrender of Fort William Henry by the British in 1757, the British military and civilians gathered at the entrenched camp. The encampment will be open to the public on Saturday, Oct. 11 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday Oct. 12, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The camps and skirmishes at Battlefield Park are free and open to the public. The Fort will be offering a $10 adult and $5 child admission price all weekend. Military and veterans are free to all events. For more information or to register a reenactment group to participate in the event, please call 964-6648 or check out the Fort William Henry Museum Facebook page.

Barn party
Continued from page 1 Ò Without the money she left us, we couldnÕ t have built the barn,Ó Roy said of the threestory structure that is so sturdy it can hold a half-dozen heavy construction vehicles on its second story. The next year, Roy and Jamiee decided to continue the tradition, choosing to hold a
barn party to raise money for the family of Vern Baker, who was gravely ill with cancer Ñ and the RossÕ Benefit Barn Party tradition was launched. Since then, with the help of family and friends, theyÕ ve helped out a halfdozen other families facing cancer or another serious hardship. The RossÕ annual gatherings have raised between $3,000 and about $10,000 to help a family with overwhelming expenses, Roy

said. Ò ItÕ s amazing how the people of our town come together when a family needs help,Ó Roy Ross said. The party is to feature the live music of Mike Leddick and Friends beginning in late afternoon, preceded by music provided by local deejay Paul Siletti. The party, held on the barnÕ s second story, features square, round and rock dancing Ñ and plenty of friendly socializing. To accommodate people who attend this annual party, the barn has been newly equipped with heat, new rest rooms, a kitchen, and ramp access to the second floor Ñ the latter for people with mobility limitations. Also new this year is a stage for the entertainers. The barnÕ s third floor features a pool table and foosball setup to accomodate youth. Shannon Castro, Skyler CastroÕ s mother, said her family was deeply grateful for Roy and Jamiee reaching out to their family. Ò This is wonderful,Ó she said, noting she and her husband Ed have attended the party in past years. Ò Our whole family is planning to attend if Skyler isnÕ t in the hospital.Ó Skyler is currently undergoing both chemotherapy and radiation treatments, and the Castros have strained their resources attending to Skyler Õ s needs. All proceeds of the event are going to aid the Castros, Jamiee Ross said. Ò Children shouldnÕ t have to experience cancer, and the Castro family needs help,Ó she said, noting her own family has been hit hard with the illness over several decades. JamieeÕ s brother, Randy Black died of cancer at age 34, and four other family members also passed away from the affliction, she said. Ò We know first-hand the hardships that other people go through,Ó she said, Ò So we want to give back and help others.Ó

Adirondack Journal Editorial
North Hudson has spoken T
he residents of North Hudson have spoken Ñ they voted resoundingly against throwing good money after bad and purchasing the white elephant once known as Frontier Town. Now it is time for the Essex County Board of Supervisors to right a wrong and award the property to Keeseville businessman George Moore. For the few people in the North Country who are not familiar with this case which has been in the news ad nauseam, George Moore was the winning bidder at an April 30 Essex County tax auction on a cluster of four parcels that once held the popular Frontier Town theme park in North Hudson. Moore already owns the large A-frame structure at the entrance of the defunct park, for which taxes are fully paid, and his intent was to purchase the adjoining four parcels encompassing 88-acres for possible future development. Instead, at the bequest of North Hudson Supervisor Ronald Moore, the county board voted on June 3 to sell the former theme park to the town of North Hudson for $60,000 Ñ $10,500 more than George MooreÕ s original bid. Ronald Moore argued that the townÕ s developable land is limited and that the property Ñ once in town ownership Ñ could be used for recreational purposes like biking, snowmobiling and horseback riding or as an industrial park, thereby stimulating the ailing economy in the community. As we said in an earlier editorial, we cannot fault Ronald MooreÕ s intent. Nevertheless, the process used to circumvent George Moore’s original bid was ethically and morally flawed. The man bid $49,500 in good faith at a public auction, only to have his bid yanked out from under him by county supervisors who justified it, in part, by saying they had discussed not accepting a bid of less than $146,000 Ñ the back taxes owed on the properties. The problem is, they never mentioned that to George Moore or published a minimum bid in materials distributed at the auction. To further rub salt in the wound North Hudson didnÕ t offer $146,000 either. So George Moore increased his offer to $65,000 Ñ but supervisors still voted to sell the property to North Hudson by the vote of 11-6. Afterward, residents of the community were given an opportunity to vote on the purchase and, to their credit, torpedoed the idea by a final tall of 80-52. The county is now locked in litigation with George Moore over the property Ñ who contends supervisors acted illegally by denying him the property based on an unpublished minimum bid. He has said emphatically that he will drop the suit if supervisors award him his bid and thatÕ s exactly what needs to be done here. Whether the county supervisors acted legally or not is simply not the issue. We understand that they reserve the right to reject any bid Ñ just as any landowner can. But havenÕ t county taxpayers taken enough of a collective kick in the pants over this property? The last thing they deserve is to pick up court and legal fees on top of the $146,000 owed in back taxes. And, what precisely is to be gained even if the county does win the suit? Will supervisors follow through on the sale to a community that doesnÕ t want it? Or will it again sit in limbo until the next county tax auction while back taxes continue to accrue? Given the condition of these parcels and their history under private ownership, we are skeptical that the county will ever recover the $146,000 in back taxes owed, so a minimum bid would be useless. Finally, think about the precedent that is being set here. Denying George MooreÕ s offer would effect the integrity of all future tax auctions. County officials owe it to the taxpayers to obtain the highest price possible for foreclosed parcels and they owe it to bidders to conduct these auctions in a fair and transparent manner, otherwise, it will affect how people bid at future auctions. The way this was handled Ñ including an hour-long executive session behind closed doors just prior to the vote to hand over the property to the town of North Hudson Ñ was anything but transparent. George Moore has been criticized by some North Hudson residents for not developing the one Frontier Town parcel he already owns. In his defense, however, he needed these other four parcels in order to begin his vision for the property and the county failed to hold a tax auction for six long years Ñ not giving George an opportunity to make his purchase whole. Supervisors Gerald Morrow, David Blades, Tom Scozzafava, Mike Marnell, Bill Grinnell and Dan Connell should be commended for voting against the sale. It is time the remaining 12 supervisors cut their losses here, stop wasting valuable time and resources and sell the land to its rightful owner: George Moore. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board

One Hundred Years Ago – October, 1914 County Home Inmate Drowned
John Ainsworth, an aged inmate of the Warren County Home, in Warrensburgh, was drowned Wednesday night, Sept. 30, 1914, in the Schroon River, near the institution. His body was found Thursday afternoon by a searching party which was organized by Superintendent Griggs to look for him. Mr. Ainsworth was 74 years old and had been a life long resident of Warrensburgh, living since childhood and until a few months ago on a farm on Harrington Hill. Since he had been at the County Home he had wandered away frequently and it was necessary to watch him closely. On this occasion, however, he managed to get away without being noticed and it is believed that while rambling about in the evening, he accidentally walked into the river. This was the opinion of Coroner James E. Goodman, who was notified when the body was found. There was nothing in the manÕ s history to warrant a suspicion of suicide and the coroner deeded an investigation unnecessary. The body was taken to the home of the dead manÕ s niece, Mrs. Edwin Osborne, where funeral services were held Friday afternoon, Oct. 2, 1914, with Rev. Guy H. Purdy officiating. Internment was in the family cemetery on Harrington Hill. (Note Ð John Ainsworth was the brother of the infamous Miss Polly Ainsworth, (1821-1899), whose gravestone in the Harrington Hill Cemetery has a hand engraved upon it, wrapped in a chain with a finger pointing downward, the opposite direction from Heaven.)
Leaping lizard
After suffering severely for three weeks from terrible pains in his stomach and abdomen, which physicians were unable to relieve, George McCoy, a cutter in the employ in the Empire Shirt Company, in Warrensburgh, was suddenly and completely relieved on Tuesday morning, Oct. 6. 1914, when he ejected from his stomach a live lizard, two and a quarter inches long. He now has the animal on exhibition, bottled in alcohol. It was probably taken into his stomach a long time ago when he was drinking from a spring. McCoy was able to resume his work after being confined to his bed for three weeks. (Note – There was an old saying that you can believe anything you read in the papers, or on second thought, was that old saying the other way around?)
Charley Wheeler tells a story
Some men at the Masonic Club rooms the other night were telling dog stories after a dayÕ s shooting. After some time, when the tales had got very Ò tall,Ó Charley Wheeler, who had been quite silent, said: Ò I have a dog that makes all of yours seem like fools. I generally feed him myself after dinner, but the other day Bert Murray came over to the house and the poor animal slipped my mind. After the meal my dog went into the garden. There he scratched up a flower and then came in and laid it at my feet, with the most yearning look in his eyes Ð it was a forget-me-not.Ó Nobody told any more stories that evening! (Note Ð This little story reminds me fondly of my good friend, the late, great Ò Daddy DickÓ Richards, a devoted member the Adirondack LiarÕ s Club, which was formed around 1985. He was quoted as saying, Ò You canÕ t program them. They just come to you on the spur of the moment.Ó )
Self-made man passes away
At the ripe old age of 83 years, Robert Jarvis was summoned,
Monday, Sept. 27, 1914, to the life beyond. The remarkable vitality which lingered in the aged body sustained life until the machinery of the physical system had completely worn out. There was no organic disease. For six months he had been confined to his bed at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Charles B. Cunningham who had given him tender care and he suffered little pain and death came peacefully, like falling asleep. Born in Edinburg, Scotland, on Nov. 1, 1830, his parents brought him to this country when he was two years old. They settled in New York City and remained there for nine years after which they moved to Thurman where they engaged in farming. There were three other children in the family and none of them survive. The deceased came to Warrensburgh in 1863 and in order to gain experience in the mercantile trade, he engaged as clerk for Henry Herrick. His climb to success took many years of hard work but eventually he became one of the leading businessmen in town, conducting the largest mercantile establishment north of Glens Falls. He retired from business about twenty-five years ago. On Jan. 6, 1859 Mr. Jarvis married Miss Julia A. Kennedy, of Hadley. They celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in Warrensbuirgh on Jan. 6, 1909 and shortly after that Mrs. Jarvis died. They had three children, two daughters and one son, Gilchrist Jarvis who died a few months ago. The deceased leaves one grandson, Dr. Arthur J. Cunningham. Robert Jarvis is buried in the Warrensburgh Cemetery.
A remarkable family tree
Mrs. Abigail Smith was given a surprise party on Friday evening, Oct. 2, 1914 at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Emily Bennett, on Library Avenue, Warrensburgh, in honor of her 81st birthday anniversary, with twenty five of her friends being present. Mrs. Smith is unusually active for one of her advanced years. She is the mother of eleven children and has forty-two grandchildren and twenty-nine great grandchildren.
Looking for his bear
Dr. H.L. Ross, of Canaan, Conn., was in Warrensburgh on Friday, Oct. 2, 1914 on his way to Chatimac Lake in his Overland touring car for his annual hunting trip. He said he was going to stay two weeks anyway and longer if necessary to get a deer and a bear. He had no difficulty in getting them last year and is confident of equally good success this season. Dr. Ross is an enthusiastic member of the Chatimac Lake Club and spends his summer vacation there. His brother, Justin Ellsworth Ross is caretaker of the clubÕ s property.
Lake George wedding
Reuben Smith, of Igerna and Miss Kate Cooper, of East Lake George, were married at the latter place at noon on Wednesday, Sept. 30, 1914, at the home of the brideÕ s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Layton Cooper, former residents of Horicon. The young couple will make their home in Igerna.
Politics heat up locally
The new system of nominating party candidates by direct primaries was tried for the first time Monday, Sept. 28, 1914. The results were generally satisfactory and if the law is retained until the voters become accustomed to its workings, it will most certainly be a good thing. Martin H. Glynn defeated John A. Hennessy for the gover-
norship nomination in the Democratic primaries and Charles S. Whitman won over both Harvey D. Hinman and Job F. Hedges for the governorship nomination in the Republican contest. Frederick M. DavenportÕ s nomination for governor by the Progressive party is also assured. Fred J. Hayes, of Warrensburgh, was nominated for Member of Assembly by the Democrats in a write in vote.
“Teddy” welcomed in Glens Falls
Col. Theodore Roosevelt was given a rousing reception by the Progressive Party in Glens Falls at 5 oÕ clock in the afternoon on Oct. 7, 1914 and he delivered a characteristic address at the Empire Theatre to a large crowd. He was accompanied by Frederick M. Davenport, the Bull Moose candidate for governor. Frank Hastings, of Warrensburgh, was there on the reception committee as was Charles H. Burge, of Chestertown.
A world in turmoil
The twenty-fifth case of bubonic plague in the city of New Orleans was reported a short time ago. Bubonic plague is the terrible “black death” of the middle ages. The first epidemic came in the fourth century and wave after wave of the disease killed 25,000,000 people, half of the population of Europe. RussiaÕ s three great armies are now sweeping into Germany, says a dispatch from Petrograd. The Germans are shelling the outer fortifications of Antwerp with heavy guns killing many worshipers as they left church and setting fire to many buildings, including the Little Sisters of the Poor.

LGA, Park Commission to partner on new recreation study LAKE GEORGE Ñ The Lake George Association is partnering with the Lake George Park Commission (LGPC) for a 2015 Recreation Study of the Lake. This project will be an update to the 2005 Recreation Study that was completed now a decade ago, and will provide a better understanding of the current conditions on the Lake in order to more effectively manage the lake, promote public access, and reduce congestion, overcrowding and safety hazards. Ò The Commission looks forward to undertaking a comprehensive review of recreation uses on Lake George in 2015,Ó said Bruce Young, Chairman of the Lake George Park Commission. Ò By better understanding public use patterns, the Commission can be more fully prepared to serve the public with boating safety operations and long-term lake protection initiatives. We thank the Lake George Association for their generous financial contribution towards this important project.Ó At the July meeting of the LGAÕ s Board of Directors, members
Notice:CandidateEndorsements As we approach the upcoming election season we want to make an important distinction regarding candidate endorsements. With a free distribution in excess of 60,000 homes, our papers are inundated every election cycle with candidate endorsements. The only source of revenue our community publications receive to offset the cost of print, delivery and overhead is paid notices and advertisements. All candidate endorsements must now run either in the form of an advertisement or a paid endorsement notice and include the name of the individual making the endorsement. The paid endorsement notice can be purchased for $15 for up to 50 words, or .25 cents per word thereafter. A paid advertisement will be based on standard advertising rates taking into consideration size and frequency according to the current rate card at the open advertising rate.

approved a motion to fund half of the cost of the study, up to $25,000. Ò The Lake George AssociationÕ s Recreation Committee has met with LGPC staff and commissioners over the years to stay abreast of recreation-related issues on the Lake and feel that this is a very important study,Ó said Mike Dier, LGAÕ s Vice President of the Board of Directors and a long-standing member of the Water Recreation Committee. Ò We have a long history of working with partners on recreational issues on the lake. In 2008 we worked with the Lake George Power Squadron to update the navigational charts of the lake using our geographic information systems (GIS) database and we have offered numerous boater safety courses at our office over the years as well as printing an educational boater safety brochure.Ó A request for qualifications has been released by the LGPC and proposals are due at the beginning of next week by Sept. 15. Planning work for this project is intended to be undertaken this upcoming winter with field work and data collection for this project anticipated for next summer. The final report would be complete by the end of 2015. Just like in 2005, the updated 2015 Recreation Study will provide an overview of the type, intensity, distribution and timing of boating on Lake George based on the 2014 field season. Surveys of various user groups such as boaters, beach users, business owners, tourists, etc, will also be conducted to gather information regarding perceptions of use and enjoyment of the lake. Analysis and summary of LGPC data including Marine Patrol contacts and enforcement, dock permit trends, and marina permit trends will also be included in the report. And ideally the final report will be able to show new data trends and changes from findings in 2005 Recreation Study. The 2005 study found 460,372 total boat use days from AprilSept with 44,177 motorboat launches and 75,835 public beach users estimated for 2005. The average horsepower on the lake was 194 while the average horsepower of performance boats was 500. During peak use, there were 261 PWCs, 303 canoes/kayaks, 317 sailboats, and 1,553 motorboats, for a grand total of 2,434 boats out on the Lake at one time at peak use. However, over the course of
an entire weekend day during the summer Ð there were 4,700 motorboats on the Lake, and 2,500 motorboats on a weekday. It will be interesting to see how these numbers compare now ten years later. In addition to the data collected through observation, survey data found that over ninety percent of respondents were satisfied or very satisfied with their Lake George recreational experience. High water quality contributed most to that satisfaction and water quality was very important to the majority of users. The main issues of concern identified during the surveys were invasive species, followed by noise from PWCs and unsafe operation of boats. Ò It will be very interesting to see how the new results compare to these findings from 2005,” said Walt Lender, the LGA’s Executive Director. Ò With the increased attention to invasive species recently, I for one am curious to see if this concern is more prominent in the updated study. It will also be very interesting to learn how lake users perceive the water quality of the lake as well. ItÕ s one thing for those of us who think about it day in and day out, but it will be very useful to get a good idea of how a large group of lake users view the quality of the water.Ó
Free launch announced
LAKE GEORGE Ñ The Harris Bay Marina has teamed up with the Village of Lake George to assist boaters wishing to launch for the fall season and enjoy Lake George. After the State announced the closing of the free launch at the Million Dollar Beach, many boaters, particularly fishermen, were left without an economical option to launch. Mayor Robert Blais announced the VillageÕ s public docks would be available free of charge for overnight parking if boaters wished to fish multiple days. With many private launches charging $30 to $40 to launch it still left some launches too expensive. Harris Bay Marina manager Greg Meader and Mayor Blais have announced that their launch site will be open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday. Launch fees will be $15 in and out, or $40 for a full season pass. The hours are subject to change. All boats must be inspected prior to launch and can return to the nearest inspection station on the same day for re-tagging. Boats using the VillageÕ s public docks must register at the Village Hall for multiple day dockage.

WARRENSBURG Ñ An event thatÕ s earned its place in the Guinness Book of Records will be flooding the town of Warrensburg this weekend in a sea of humanity. Notorious, huge and nearly beyond description, the WorldÕ s Largest Garage Sale will again be drawing 70,000 or more people into town for three days of frenzied bargain shopping. The event that for decades has given Warrensburg national recognition will engulf the town with a swarming mile-long crowd browsing amongst wares from hundreds of vendors and 1,000 or more garage sales in the vicinity. Whether itÕ s collectibles, specialty or distressed goods, vehicle parts, antiques, old toys, vintage jewelry, household items, tools or virtually anything imaginable, itÕ s for sale at WarrensburgÕ s huge sale. The event officially begins at 9 a.m. Saturday Oct. 4 and runs until 6 p.m., resuming during the same hours Sunday Oct. 5. However, undoubtedly people will start to engulf the town on Thursday Oct. 2 and Friday Oct. 3 for early pickings. On Saturday, some shoppers are known to begin before dawn. This year Õ s Great Sale has an added attraction Ñ the new Family Fun Zone. To be held Saturday and Sunday at the town recreation field off Library and Sanford streets, the Fun Zone will host family activities, childrenÕ s games, musical entertainment, food, and a NASCAR pit-crew simulator.
Tips for those attending the Great Sale:
Residents extend a warm welcome to town. We offer some practical tips to make your stay this weekend a more pleasant one. HereÕ s the scoop on how to avoid frustration of crushing traffic and boost your bargain-hunting: • Arrive early on Friday — check into town before 7:15 a.m. A lot of vendors are setting up Friday anyway, and many savvy
shoppers who know this are getting first pick of a wide range of wares. • If you do arrive Saturday, take I-87 Northway to exits 22, 24 or 25. Avoid Exit 23, the primary road into Warrensburg, since it becomes very congested. By 8:30 or 9 a.m. Saturday, traffic can be backed up for miles. From Exit 22, turn left onto Rte. 9 and drive just a few miles north to Warrensburg. From Exit 24, go south on Schroon River Road and park at the Warren County Fairgrounds where shuttle buses will take you in and out of town. Or, from Exit 25, head south out of Chestertown on Rte. 9 into Warrensburg. If you do arrive via Exit 23, take a right turn to go via East Schroon River Rd. and follow signs to complimentary parking at the Warren County Fairgrounds and take a free bus downtown. • From Friday Sept. 30 through Sunday Oct. 2, there is no parking on Main St. from the bandstand to Stewart Farrar Avenue, nor on Elm St., nor Emerson, Second Hackensack, Horicon and Adirondack avenues. Parking is also prohibited on the north side of Stewart Farrar, and the north side of Library Ave. from Elm to James streets. The parking bans are so emergency vehicles can move through town. Those who disobey these bans are likely to have their vehicle towed. • Motorists are urged not to block driveways, fire hydrants, nor park on private property without permission. No trailers or recreational vehicles may be parked along roadways. Many vehicles get towed each year. • In-town parking is available at the Warrensburg firehouse on lower Elm St. The charge for cars is $5 per day, and for recreational vehicles, $25 per day. The local firefighters will also be serving breakfast and lunch on Saturday and Sunday. Proceeds benefit the volunteer fire company. Further tips for garage sale enjoyment: • Dress in layers as Adirondack weather is unpredictablel bring a backpack to haul your bargains home. • Wear comfortable shoes because you will walk a lot. You never know what treasure is just another block away. • Have plenty of cash on hand.
Hudson Headwaters hires two new VPs By Maggie Morgan
maggie@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ Hudson Headwaters Health Network has announced the addition of two new vice presidents that will be joining their team. In a recent press release, dated Sept. 24, Hudson Headwaters details why the positions will help them continue to move forward in becoming the go-to center for medical care in the region. William Borgos, M.D. and David Ò TuckerÓ Slingerland, M.D. will be serving as VP of medical staff operations and VP of strategy, respectively. The newly created positions will help HHHN better serve the community as their demand for care has increased thus calling for a larger staff. Dr. John Rugge, CEO of HHHN, said, Ò These positions will improve how we organize and plan for the future.Ó He continued on about the new VPÕ s and HHHNÕ s continual expansion. Ò We have a larger staff than ever before, with more than 150 providers,Ó Rugge said. Not only is Hudson Headwaters continuing to grow, but the ways we practice medicine, serve our patients and get paid are changing rapidly.Ó The press release details how well liked the two doctors are, and HHHNÕ s Executive Director, Howard Nelson, stated that the two have been physcians with the organization for quite some time. Rugge gives insight into what exactly these positions will help do in the organzation. The press release states that Borgos will focus on further developing the caregiving teams
while Slingerland will reach out and establish relationships with neighboring healthcare outfits and create programs to futher educate physicians. Ò The idea behind the care teams is to create familiarity, understanding, and trust between patients and providers,Ó Borgos said. He wants to establish an environment where patients feel comfortable and their relatioship with their doctor is familiar and secure. Borgos said that whenever possible he wants teams to be assigned to certain patients, reassuring individual patients that their doctors are knowledgable about their specific needs and medical history. Slingerland had equally encouraging comments in the press release. Ò When I came here I wanted to be involved in patient care, but I also wanted to work behind the scenes in creating relationships with other organizations and policy makers,Ó Slingerland said. Ò ThereÕ s a huge opportunity for Hudson Headwaters to do things strategically both internally and with other health care providers.Ó The two new VPÕ s are going to be an integral part of moving the not-for-profit organzation into the future of medicine. Both Borgos and Slingerland will continue to be active practioners within the network. Rugge said in the press release that it is in HHHNÕ s model for leaders to remain practicing doctors within the network, helping them hone their skills and train them for the future. Ò We have no plans at this time to create more positions like these, though we would consider doing so to improve patient care,Ò said Howard.

DEC: Beware of moose on Adirondack roadways this fall
RAY BROOK Ñ Motorists should be alert for moose on roadways in the Adirondacks and surrounding areas at this time of year - a peak of moose activity - warns the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Early fall is the breeding season for moose in northern New York. During this time moose are wandering looking for mates, leading them to areas where they are not typically seen. While this improves the opportunities for people to enjoy sighting of a moose, it also increases the danger of colliding with one on the roadway. Moose are much larger and taller than deer. Their large body causes greater damage, and, when struck, their height often causes them to impact the windshield of a car or pickup truck, not just the front of the vehicle. Last year ten moose vehicle accidents were reported in New York. However, there has not been a human fatality from an accident with a moose, a record DEC hopes to retain. Moose are most active at dawn and dusk, which are times of poor visibility. Moose are especially difficult to see at night because of their dark brown to black coloring and their height - which puts their head and much of their body above vehicle headlights. DEC advises motorists to take the following precautions to prevent moose vehicle collisions: •Use extreme caution when driving at dawn or dusk, especially during September and October; •Reduce your speed, stay alert, and watch the roadsides; •Slow down when approaching moose standing near the roadside, as they may bolt at the last minute when a car comes

closer, often running into the road; •Moose may travel in pairs or small groups, so if a moose is spotted crossing the road, be alert for others that may follow; •Make sure all vehicle occupants wear seatbelts and children are properly restrained in child safety seats; •Use flashers or a headlight signal to warn other drivers when moose are spotted near the road;
•Motorcyclists should be especially alert for moose; •If a moose does run in front of your vehicle, brake firmly but do not swerve. Swerving can cause a vehicle-vehicle collision or cause the vehicle to hit a fixed object such as a tree or pole; •If a moose is hit and killed by a vehicle, the motorist should not remove the animal unless a permit is obtained from the investigating officer at the scene of the accident.

Early detection and the battle against breast cancer Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States, other than skin cancer. It is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer. The chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer some time during her life is a little less than 1 in 8. The chance of dying from breast cancer is about 1 in 36. Breast cancer rates have been going down. This is probably the result of finding the cancer earlier and better treatment. Right now, there are more than 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. 7 TIPS FOR EARLY DETECTION 1. If you are over 40, get a mammogram. Early detection of breast cancer offers the best chance for a cure. The Seattle Cancer Cure Alliance supports the American Cancer SocietyÕ s recom-
mendation that women begin annual mammography screening at age 40.
2. Where you go matters. Choose a mammography expert. Many studies show that doctors who specialize in mammography are more accurate at interpreting the images when compared to physicians with less experience. Get your mammogram read by a doctor who specializes in reading them.. 3. Go digital. Centers that specialize in digital mammography are best for women with dense breast tissue and for women under age 50. Digital scans can do a better job of detecting cancer in these women than traditional film mammography. 4. DonÕ t put off screening because of discomfort.
A mammogram should never be painful. Fear that the exam will be uncomfortable is one reason women put off scheduling a mammogram. To reduce discomfort, try to schedule the exam after your monthly period when breast tissue is less sensitive. You may benefit by taking an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen before your mammogram. Above all, tell the mammography technologist about any discomfort you may be experiencing. They can work with you to make the experience more comfortable.
5. DonÕ t put off screening because of fear. Most abnormalities found after a mammogram are not cancer. However, in some cases, you may be called back for more tests, such as additional mammography or ultrasound screening, to confirm that the area on the screening mammo-
gram is normal. ThatÕ s why you may be asked to return for a follow-up exam. 6. Consider getting results while you wait. Particularly for your first mammogram, you may want to schedule your exam so you receive your results before you leave the imaging center. Or if you have found that you are frequently called back to your mammography center for a second scan, you can ask that your appointment including getting results to you while you wait.
7. Know how your breasts feel normally. Your health care provider can show you how to do a breast self-exam. If you notice a change in your breasts, such as a lump or swelling, skin irritation or dimpling, talk to your health care provider.
Learning about the lesser known types of breast cancer Many people have been touched by breast cancer. Whether you have dealt with your own diagnosis or that of a friend or family member, the prevalence of breast cancer has left few people without a story to tell about a personal experience with this potentially deadly disease. According to Breastcancer.org, a nonprofit organization dedicated to proving reliable, complete and up-to-date information about breast cancer, roughly one in eight women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her life, while the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation notes the figures are
slightly more optimistic in Canada, where one in nine women is expected to develop the disease during her lifetime. Many of the women who develop breast cancer will be diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma, or IDC, which the National Breast Cancer Foundation notes is the most common type of breast cancer, accounting for between 70 and 80 percent of all diagnoses. While women and even men who develop breast cancer are most likely to be diagnosed with IDC, there are less common forms of breast cancer, and learning about these rare cancers may help save your life or that of a loved one. Medullary carcinoma Though medullary carcinoma diagnoses are rare, this is an invasive type of breast cancer that begins in the milk duct and spreads be-
yond it. The tumor that forms when a person has medullary carcinoma is a soft and fleshy mass. Medullary carcinoma cells typically appear like aggressive, abnormal cancer cells, but these cells do not grow quickly and often do not spread outside the breast to the lymph nodes, which makes medullary carcinoma a relatively easy cancer to treat. Medullary carcinoma can occur at any age, though it typically affects women in their late 40s and early 50s. Tubular carcinoma Tubular carcinoma is a type of IDC that starts as small, tube-shaped structures known as tubules that appear similar to normal, healthy cells. Tubular carcinoma cells grow slowly and are unlikely to spread outside of the breast, and, for that reason, tubular carcinoma typically responds well to treatment. Though tubular carcinoma once accounted for a very small percentage of breast cancer diagnoses, they are now being diagnosed more often, thanks in large part to the prevalence of screening mammography that has been catching cases of breast cancer before doctors feel a lump. Tubular carcinoma may feel less like a lump and more like a cushiony area of breast tissue. Mucinous carcinoma Mucinous carcinoma is also a rare type of IDC in which tumors are made up of abnormal cells in mucin, which is a part of mucus. Many types of cancer cells, including the majority of breast cancer cells, produce some mucus, which lines
most of the inner surface of the normal human body. But when a person is diagnosed with mucinous carcinoma, the mucin has become part of the tumor, so when examined under a microscope, the cancer cells appear to be scattered in pools of mucus. Mucinous cancer can affect people at any age, though it is especially rare in men and most often diagnosed in women after they have gone through menopause. Mucinous carcinoma is a less aggressive type of breast cancer than others and is less likely than other types to spread to the lymph nodes. As a result, it typically responds well to treatment. PagetÕ s disease of the nipple PagetÕ s disease of the nipple is characterized by breast cancer cells that collect in or around the nipple. The cancer typically affects the ducts of the nipple first before spreading to the nipple surface and areola, which is the dark circle of skin around the nipple. Both the nipple and areola can and likely will become irritated, itchy, red, and scaly when a person has PagetÕ s disease, and these signs may be the first indicators that breast cancer is present. While PagetÕ s disease of the nipple is rare, the National Cancer Institute notes the importance of recognizing its symptoms, as 97 percent of people with PagetÕ s disease also have cancer elsewhere in the breast. Though the NCI notes that PagetÕ s disease can develop in both men and women, it is more common in women, among whom the average age for diagnosis is 62.

Adirondack Distance Festival sees records fall for time, temperatures By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com SCHROON Ñ They are two records many would think do not go together, but the Adirondack Distance Festival saw the annual marathon winner bring the record time down while record temperatures were going up. Ò The heat of the afternoon was a record breaker and not really ideal for running long distances,Ó said race organizer Joel Friedman. Ò But most runners told me that they had an awesome experience and requested that we turn the thermostat down just a little bit for next year. As a result of the warm weather hundreds of runners took advantage of soaking their tired legs in the lake for an extended period of time.Ó With the hot weather, it was a man from a town called Bath who won the marathon Sept. 28 as Bryan Morseman crossed the finish line with a record breaking time of 2:26:59, topping the 2006 mark of 2:35:38 set by David Herr. Ò The day was a resounding success,Ó Friedman said. Ò There is something about the weekend that brings out the best in everyone! The spirit of our residents and second homeowners is without a doubt, elevated. This is a result of the past experience with the positive attitude and gratefulness of the runners. The runners are appreciative of the volunteers helping them out and supporting them during the race and throughout the weekend.Ó Friedman said over 700 volunteers came out supporting the weekendÕ s events. Ò That doesnÕ t include the many hundreds that come out along the racecourse to cheer the runners on,Ó he said. Ò Many students from Schroon Lake and Mountainside schools were out on the course cheering or helping as volunteers. At the Word of Life Bible Institute campus, which the runners run through, their entire student body turns out along with staff and enthusiastically cheer for the runners. It is an exhilarating experience.Ó Local results are as follows: TOP TEN 1 2:26:59 Bryan Morseman Bath 2 2:42:21 David Herr Canaan Vt. 3 2:45:10 Ryan Shanley Brooklyn 4 2:55:01 Robert Jackman Warwick, R.I. 5 2:57:45 Erik Reed E.

Canoeists resuced on Lake George HAGUE Ñ On Sept. 20 at 9:51 p.m., the Warren County SheriffÕ s Marine Unit and New York State Forest Rangers responded to a report of missing canoeists at RogerÕ s Rock State Campground in Hague. Campground staff reported that Steven D. Boddorff of Clarks Green, Penn., rented a canoe and four PFD’s (personal flotation devices) shortly after 10 a.m. and did not return them at 6pm as agreed. Campground staff became concerned because BoddorffÕ s vehicle was registered only for day use and was still in the parking lot. A sheriffÕ s boat responded to the campground and Boddorff was located on shore at the campground. Boddorff told police that he had left his wife, Laura C. Boddorff, on the shoreline along RogerÕ s Slide on the east shore of the lake (north of the campground). Boddorff said that they had been caught by unexpectedly high winds and rough water while out with friends. Laura stayed behind while Steven and their friends paddled back to the campground. Steven said that the increasingly rough water prevented him from returning to retrieve Laura. After a short search of the shoreline, the sheriffÕ s boat located Laura sleeping on in a wooded area near the base of RogerÕ s Slide and returned her to the campground. Waves on the lake were 2-to-4 feet high at the time of rescue. There were no injuries to any of the canoeists.
