HIGHWAY UP PROSPECT MTN. OPEN ON NOV. 4 & 5

GLENS FALLS | Gov. Andrew Cuomo has announced a study to determine why four parts of the state, including Warren County, have higher cancer rates. As part of the $500,000 study, the state Department of Health will review cancer data, potential demographic and occupational factors, and will consult with the state Department of Environmental Conservation to analyze environmental factors potentially contributing to patterns of cancer incidences. Joining Warren County in the one-year study are clusters in Staten Island, Long Island and parts of western New York. Each locality was identified as having the highest cancer rates by the New York State Cancer Registry, which collects reports on cancer diagnoses from health care providers, among other data from those diagnosed with the disease.

Asked about the Henry rifles, which are prominent in his store, Bennett said, “They are a good seller.” “They are 100 percent made in the United States.

Students wear orange as part of Unity Day By Christopher South STA FF W RITER

CHESTERTOWN | Students at the North Warren Central School wore orange T-shirts in an event last week to symbolize being united against bullying. Students took part in two assemblies wearing orange T-shirts to show their participation in Unity Day, part of a national program against bullying sponsored by PACER’s National

Bullying Prevention Center, on Oct. 25. The PACER Center, which is based in Minneapolis, Minn., was founded in 2006 to promote a social change in which bullying is no longer considered acceptable. The Unity Day program was headed up by Dierdre Hill, guidance counselor for grades K-8, and Mike Therio, guidance counselor/ director for grades 9-12. Therio said the Council for Prevention, located in Hudson Falls, provided about 520 orange T-shirts, one for each of the students at the North Warren Central School. The Council for Prevention fosters healthy communities, schools, families, and individu-

To find out how to prevent it, you have to know what’s causing it.

als, urging a collaborative effort in preventing and treating various issues, including bullying. “Unity Day has been a nationally celebrated day based on a national bullying prevention program,” Therio said. “The orange color makes a bright, brilliant statement.” Therio said the NWCS students in grades 7-12 were given the orange T-shirts the day before and asked to wear them to school. “I’m pleased to say virtually every students brought their shirt back and wore it,” Therio said. The younger students received their shirts on Unity Day.

Each year, nearly 110,000 New Yorkers learn they have cancer, and around 35,000 die from the disease. Warren County had a cancer incidence rate of 564 per 100,000 people between 2012-14, significantly higher than the statewide average of 482 per 100,000. According to age-adjusted incidence rates compiled by the state Department of Health, the rates are higher across the board for all cancers, including colorectal and lung for

Earlier in the week, the school set up a Unity Day table to promote the event, handing out swag for the students, and asking them to identify a person in their lives who had encouraged or supported them. On one of the posters near the cafeteria, students posted hearts with the name (or relationship) of someone who had encouraged or supported them. “The kids really got into it,” Therio said. “It’s an opportunity to show solidarity and unity.

The divide lessened for breast and cervical cancer among women, but both are still slightly above the state average. “Let’s study the health factors, the demographic factors, the environmental factors and find out why there’s that deviation,” said Cuomo, who delivered his comments at Glens Falls Hospital. “If we can find out what’s causing it, we can go further down the road in preventing it.” As part of the review, the state health department will work to detect patterns related to demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral or occupational factors. At the same time, the DEC will inventory potential environmental threats. DOH will use the results to strengthen community screening and prevention efforts and support access to “appropriate high-quality health care services” in communities across the state identified as having high rates of cancer, according to materials provided by the governor’s office. “Cancer is a scourge in our communities that has taken the lives of too many New Yorkers, including our friends and loved ones,” said state Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury). “Gov. Cuomo’s visit here today in Glens Falls is clearly indicative of his understanding that the safety and health of our communities is the top priority. I will do all I can to work with the governor to complement his efforts and those of his administration in the battle against cancer.” The findings of the study will be expected within one year, according to the governor’s office. Cancer is now the second leading cause of death behind heart disease in New York. ■

He follows his two older brothers — Robert Stephens, currently serving in Kuwait, and Raymond Stephens, having returned recently from a tour in Afghanistan — both having enlisted into the United States Army a few years ago.

Adk. Stampede Rodeo returns to Glens Falls STA FF W RITER

GLENS FALLS| Increased prize money this year in the upcoming annual Adirondack Stampede Charity Rodeo is likely to draw more nationally renowned competitors than in prior years, event coordinator Shana Graham predicted this week. Thrashing livestock, cowboys pursuing a national championship as well as acclaimed entertainers are to be featured next weekend at the upcoming 27th annual Adirondack Stampede competition. Set for 7:30 p.m. Friday Nov. 3 and Saturday Nov. 4, the ever-popular rodeo is to be held in the Cool Insuring Arena in downtown Glens Falls. Events at the rodeo include bareback and saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, saddle bronc riding, tie-down and team roping, barrel racing and bull riding. At Adirondack Stampede, cowhands from the region compete alongside noted national rodeo stars. The two evenings of competition are joined by a number of public soirees, including a family-oriented block party on opening night in front of the arena — from about 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Friday. The event includes rodeo-themed children’s games. The evening beforehand — from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Thursday Nov. 2, a rodeo kickoff party is to be held at Texas Roadhouse restaurant, located at 820 state Rte. 9. adjacent to Northway Plaza. The meetup features rodeo contestants and entertainers signing autographs and socializing with the public. The event includes many giveaways, including gift certificates, prizes and tickets to the Stampede, Graham said. “The kickoff party will be a fun social event, for people to get into the rodeo spirit,” she said.

In addition, a Roundup Party will be held both Friday and Saturday nights after the rodeo in Cool Arena’s Heritage Hall — where fans can meet and greet the cowhands and enjoy music, dancing, food and beverages. Friday’s edition of the Round-Up features singer-songwriter Jason Wicks with his country-western band, live in concert. Although Wicks’ roots are in northern New York, he has collaborated with noted Nashville musicians, many of whom have recorded his songs. Saturday’s Round-Up Party hosts After-FX Deejays, featuring area radio personality Lee Pecue. In recent years, the Adirondack Stampede has been one of the first rodeos on the calendar in earning points toward the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. So for cowboys seeking to earn a national title, competing at the Adirondack Stampede can give them an early advantage in their quest. The action at Adirondack Stampede will be narrated in an entertaining manner by Roger Mooney of Ellijay, Georgia. Roger has an impressive resume, which includes announcing the National Finals. Each year, the Stampede rodeo dedicates a major portion of their net annual income — between $7,000 and $9,000 to charity each year. In 2016, the rodeo organizers bought an motorized wheelchair for Austin Naylor, a child from Hudson Falls who has been battling muscular dystrophy. The gift, a surprise presented to the boy during a break in the Saturday rodeo competition, has enabled Austin to attend school and participate in various other activities alongside his friends, Shana Graham said.

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

The American lifespan

A recent study showed the U.S. retirement age is rising as the government pushes it higher and By Dan Alexander workers stay in the workforce longer: • PUBLISHER • some by choice and others by life’s realities. Sadly, lifespans aren’t necessarily getting any longer to offer more time on the beach. The data suggests Americans’ health is declining and millions of middle-age workers face the prospect of shorter, and less active, retirements than their parents enjoyed. This wasn’t the math we expected to realize when we were younger. An improved and vibrant economy, advanced medical technology, and in general, a healthier lifestyle with less pollution and smoke were to make our golden years, well, golden. Here are the stats: The U.S. ageadjusted mortality rate-a measure of the number of deaths per year-rose 1.2 percent from 2014 to 2015, according to the Society of Actuaries. That’s the first year-over-year increase since 2005, and only the second rise greater than 1 percent since 1980. At the same time, the American life expectancy is stalling, public policy and career tracks mean millions U.S. workers are waiting longer to join the Geritol crowd. This will only get worse as the Baby Boomer generation drops out of the workforce. A recent change at the Social Security Administration changed the age at which people can claim their full Social Security benefits, as it gradually moves up, from 65 years of age for those retiring in 2002 to 67 in 2027. Almost one in three Americans age 65 to 69 are still working, along with nearly one in five in their early 70s. Postponing retirement, on one hand, can make financial sense, as it extends careers making it possible to afford retirements that last well into ones 90’s or even past the 100-year mark. But a study out this month adds some cautionary ﬂags to that calculation. Americans in their late 50s are already suffering more serious health problems than people at the same ages did 10 to 15 years ago, according to the journal Health Affairs. Life is simply unpredictable. Nothing can ever be taken for granted. While we need to live in the present, we also need to prepare for the future. So enjoy the journey and take time the while you can to smell the ﬂowers along the way. ■

Your vote critical in local races It’s that time of year when we dust off our bully pulpit and tell everyone to go vote. Election Day is on Tuesday. If the past year has left you with a bad taste in your mouth and numb from politics, you’re not alone. We’ve got whiplash from the constant hyper-partisanship, ennui from an ineffective Congress and a general sense of unease from the tendrils wafting up from Washington, D.C. — including this past week’s criminal indictments as part of a probe into Russian involvement in U.S. elections. You can be forgiven for tuning everything political out. But voting matters, it really does! Th is is an off-year election, which means state and federal representatives are not on the ballot. Voter turnout tends to be low. But the stakes are actually incredibly high. There are countless critical state and local issues that could use your voice. For beginners, there are three statewide initiatives located on the back of this year’s ballot. Voters statewide will be asked on Tuesday, Nov. 7 to authorize a constitutional convention, rescind pensions from public of-

Rural hospice programs are severely underutilized To the Editor: Though never easy, as a veteran hospice nurse I know that the most peaceful and comfortable of deaths may be the benefit of an early admission to hospice. Yes, hospice is about dying; that scary, not-to- be-thoughtof but inevitable event. High Peaks Hospice addresses the physical, psychosocial and spiritual needs of people with terminal illness. Anyone with a prognosis of six months or less is eligible for hospice and any diagnosis including heart disease, renal failure, COPD, dementia, cancer and more qualifies. At present, hospice services are severely underused. This places the sustainability of a rural hospice program in jeopardy, and most importantly, it means that many people are not receiving the end of life care they deserve.

ficials convicted of felonies and greenlight a landbank in the Adirondacks. We opined on each those earlier this month. Zooming in, we cannot overstate the magnitude of how everyday public policy impacts the lives of ordinary people at the local level. Local officials provide most of the services that constitute your daily interaction with government. Yes, property taxes play a leading role. But while managing budgets and setting your tax rate is an important part of what local governments do, officeholders do far more than just control the purse strings: Having an engaged and competent group of public officials can really make or break a community’s fortunes. While each of our North Country towns are unique and have their own specialized issues, most of them face the same broad challenges. All towns struggle with ensuring up-todate wastewater and drinking water infrastructure, maintaining a year-round economy and attracting young people to ensure the survival of local school districts. You’d be surprised what the right forward-looking leadership can accomplish. We’ve seen great things happen.

Over 30 percent of High Peaks Hospice patients die in less than seven days on service. Last quarter, 20 hospice referrals were made so late they died before admission. Delayed referrals often mean unnecessary hospital admissions and rushed efforts to get patients home to die with hospice. Earlier hospice admission improves the quality of one’s days and possibly the quantity of days due to the accessibility of care and prompt treatment of symptoms. Death is a difficult subject for doctors, families and patients. Where to start? Say the “D” word. Though hard, once acknowledged you can begin to live in the now. Learn all you can about your illness, the prognosis, treatment options, side effects and likely outcomes, so you can make decisions consistent with your values. Ask your doctor to counsel you on your wishes for medical care and complete Advanced Directives.

Highlights can range from the tangible — like the flourishing of pickleball courts and recreational trails to locking in competitive grants, for instance — to the more abstract, like forceful lobbying for local issues at the state and federal level and generating a sense of excitement and vitality for their communities. In contrast, we’ve seen how adrift or incompetent leadership can cripple towns on things like infrastructure and economic development. So as you drive past those campaign signs, consider that in many of these small communities, town council and supervisor races are often decided by a handful of votes. Those who don’t vote regularly — the young, the poor and the uneducated — have different needs and visions for their community than their more engaged counterparts, including the older and the affluent. The absence of these voices has implications simply because elected officials tend not to value the opinions of those who don’t bother to show up. So what’s it going to be? Your vote could mean the difference between a thriving downtown and a graveyard. See you at your local polling place. ■ -Sun Community News Editorial Board

Stop the bully politics in Schroon To the Editor: I recently read a letter sent to Schroon Lake voters from a town board member calling certain other town board members incompetent, et cetera. He says he speaks for us, the people of Schroon Lake, and even tells us who to vote for. I am appalled by this. This is the same person who was reported as telling someone to shut up at a town board meeting about the proposed Stewart’s expansion — which shockingly enough is rearing its ugly head again. We, the people, have never voted for the library expansion nor the Stewart’s debacle.

members and others that try to have meaningful and open discussions and resolutions of issues that affect us all. I resent the small-minded, bullying politics that is causing discord, mistrust and a tragic undermining of our democracy. The homeowners in opposition to Stewart’s have a right to protect their properties, and we the people have a right to a voice regarding the matter because the zoning laws have now been perverted and we face increasing taxes, legal problems and fiscal issues. This is real incompetence. The people of Schroon Lake need to step up and vote out of incompetent bullies who try to shut down the democratic process.

Setting the record straight on Schroon Stewart’s vote To the Editor: Recently you published a letter by someone who made a disparaging anti-Semitic remark to my brother, Roger. She stated that it was an attempt at humor. Her choice of words and intent were anything but humorous. Fact: Hate speech and an-

ti-Semitism are increasing in America and around the world. With a blend of fabrication and innuendo, she accuses Roger of a conflict of interest. Stewart’s sells a huge volume of gasoline and is a convenience store. Roger is part-owner and landlord of Tops. He has no say in their operations. They are a supermarket with limited crossover products. Her claim is dead wrong. She goes on to state that Roger should abstain and then address his concerns with the planning board as they have jurisdiction over site plan review.

Fact: The planning board has no review of this project. She accuses Roger of shifting his position. Fact: From the beginning, Roger worked toward compromise, since once the town board approves the project, there is no planning board oversight. Stewart’s wants to build a new store not because they want to do us a favor, but so they can make more money. Good for them! They are a well-run company and know what they are doing. Working for all taxpayers of the Town of Schroon, Roger wanted

Turning Back the Pages

One hundred years ago — November 1917 By Jean Hadden COLUMNIST

STONY CREEK MAN FOUND DEAD

Floyd Perkins, of Stony Creek, died suddenly of heart disease while driving in a wagon from Fuller’s Camp in Thurman to Combs’ Camp in Stony Creek. His dead body was sitting upright in the seat when the rig was met by Samuel Harris, whose attention was attracted because Perkins failed to turn out for him to pass. He had been to the Fuller Camp with a party of hunters. The body was removed to Stony Creek for burial. Perkins was 38 years old and leaves a widow and two children.

DANGEROUS POT HOLES

Leonard Carpenter of Adirondack was returning from Riverside Friday night, Oct. 2, 1917, when he was thrown from the high spring seat on his lumber wagon by the forward wheels dropping suddenly in a hole in the road. The wheel passed over his head nearly severing his left ear.

MORE BOYS OFF TO WAR

Nine more Warren County boys were sent to Camp Devens at Ayer, Massachusetts the morning of Nov. 14, 1917 to take their places in the ranks of Uncle Sam’s national army. They were sent to fill vacancies caused by the rejection of several young men who failed to pass required physical examinations for war service. They were Frank Crowe, Francis Reardon, Elmer J. West Jr., William Garwood, Albert F. Ball, Leo McCormac, Louis Federman, Ernest Haselton and William Goldstein. The nine soldiers were gathered on the rear platform of the train and they waved handkerchiefs as the train moved out to the strains of “The Star Spangled Banner,” rendered by the band. In other news, Frank Orton was home from Camp Devens recently on a 48 hour furlough to visit his mother, Mrs. Ella Orton, and his many friends in Warrensburgh. He expressed himself as well pleased with army life.

CRIME DOES NOT PAY

Edward Tripp of Warrensburgh, indicted for forging a signature to a $12 check, was arraigned before Judge George S. Raley in County Court in Lake George on Monday night, Nov. 12, 1917, and was given the alternative of serving his country in the army or going to jail. Tripp stated that he had no desire to go to jail and was very anxious to go into the army. The same privilege was accorded Daniel Galusha, William Curtis and Henry Barney, against whom criminal actions were brought. Galusha and Curtis were indicted for burglary and Barney for robbery. (Update: I will hazard a guess that the local recruiting oﬃcer probably

gave the judge a nice box of Havana cigars for Christmas.)

SUCCESSFUL DEER HUNTERS

Erle Rierden and Willis Shaw, both of Warrensburgh, returned home from a deer hunt in the vicinity of Newcomb, bringing each of them a 200 pound buck. They are considerably elated over their good luck. Allie Bump, Fred Bump and Esmond Smith of Adirondack were three lucky hunters who killed deer. Esmond Smith’s deer weighed 256 pounds dressed. Irving Moulton, of North Thurman, killed a fine deer on Crane Mountain.

INDIAN SUMMER PREVAILS

The delightful weather during the first half of November, 1917 is worthy of comment. “Indian Summer” has given us its many perfect autumn days and let us hope that the end is not here yet. (Update: A hundred years ago it was called Indian Summer, a natural occurrence, and this year’s similar warm November has been renamed “global warming.” I think that the President renamed it something like “Hogwash.”)

NEW CARS IN PRODUCTION

The Apperson Brothers Automobile Company has just come out with their new “anniversary” model for 1918. They have been making fine cars since 1902. (Update: This manufacturer built a popular “Beverly” sportster in 1922. They stopped producing automobiles in 1926.)

NEWS ROUNDABOUT

The “Ten Cent Tea” served in the parish rooms of the Episcopal Church for the benefit of the Red Cross produced a profit of $5.55 for the cause. “Cuddle,” the little pet dog of Mrs. Ernest G. Woodward, has passed on. Mrs. Woodward misses her companionship, which she had enjoyed for eight years. Mrs. Michael Conlin was awarded a judgment of $11 damages to her clothing which was spotted with mud by a passing automobile driven by William Orr of North Adams, Massachusetts. William Lynch’s Mitchell automobile caught fire recently in North River and burned. He had no insurance. Charles Baker, of Bakers Mills, has a crew of men sawing pulp wood on his job near Crane Mountain. Employees of the Empire Shirt Company in Warrensburgh are getting in to the swing of their new job of making government tents for the soldiers and the output is increasing daily. Shirt-making is carried on and the little factory is a very busy place. Thought for the day: It is announced that now, during war time, when it is so important to conserve, a ton of sugar is wasted every year by people who do not bother to stir their coffee. ■ -Readers are welcome to contact Adirondack Journal/Sun correspondent Jean Hadden at jhadden1@nycap. rr.com or 623-2210.

to first find a path to compromise. He understood from the get-go that Stewart’s wasn’t going to walk away from this project. At the town board meeting on Oct. 16, Stewart’s agreed to work towards compromise and Roger voted yes! Good for Roger for having the courage to work for the best possible agreement for the town in the face of adversity. Now everyone has a better chance of winning! Isn’t that what we want from our elected representatives? Joel Friedman, Schroon Lake ■

CORRECTION

The Sun misspelled a candidate’s name in the article “Four seeking two board seats in Chestertown” that appeared in our Oct. 28 edition. The candidate’s name is John Shafer — not John Shrader as previously reported. ■

South on the Northway: Observations on life in the Adirondacks

Minor league ice hockey in the Adirondack region I moved from the Jersey Cape area to the Adirondacks in June, for the time being renting a By Christopher South garage apartment • COLUMNIST • in Pottersville. After some weeks, a coworker asked me, “So what is there to do for entertainment in Pottersville?” There are things to do, but not necessarily in downtown Pottersville. As I watched sports news, I considered going to Glens Falls or Albany to watch minor league baseball. Then October rolled around and I hadn’t been to a ballgame. This month, however, I asked my bride (we married July 29) if she would mind going to Glens Falls to see a hockey game. “Of course,” she said. “I love hockey.” I didn’t realize how much of a fan she was until, at the game, she started yelling at the refs. “He’s hooking! Don’t they see that?” she said. I checked the schedule, and at the end of the week, the Adirondack Thunder were hosting the Toledo (Ohio) Walleye - my hometown’s minor league hockey franchise. Toledo has had hockey under various incarnations. Before the Walleye, which is a native fish, there were the Goal-

diggers, the Hornets, and my favorite name, the Toledo Blades. Toledo, Spain, for which the town was named, is famous for two things: the painter El Greco, and swords. Additionally, both the skates and hockey stick have a “blade,” so I likes the name. “Thunder” is a good name, because that’s what it sounds like when someone is checked into the boards. I got seats near one end of the rink, so there was plenty of “thunder” near our seats. There were also plenty of seats to view the action - all reasonably priced. I noticed there were a lot of kids at the game, so there must have been a lot of families there. At one point, the fans stood up and were doing a specific kind of clap. Obviously, they were doing a “Thunder Clap.” Kudos to whomever came up with that idea. The Thunder won 5-3, and at the end of the game, employees at the Cool Insuring Arena (Glens Falls Civic Center) stood by the exits telling people, “See you tomorrow,” planting the suggestion that we return the next day. We did not, but as I told my wife, “That was one of the most enjoyable sporting events I have ever been to.” I’m sure we’ll be back once or twice before the regular season sends in April. ■

Lake George firefighters ask for truck New unit will bolster tactics, strategy, says department By Thom Randall STA FF W RITER

LAKE GEORGE | Backed up by about two dozen firefighters, Lake George Fire Chief Jason Berry made a renewed plea Oct 16 to municipal officials for a new fire truck, following their rejection a year ago of a similar request. Berry made his request at a joint meeting of the village and town boards, asking them to purchase a new tower truck with a 70-foot ladder at a cost of about $930,000. Berry’s request last fall was for a fire truck with a 100-foot ladder for $950,000. It was a fully outfitted demonstrator model. The board decided last October that the expense was unwarranted, considering that the village fire department’s existing 1995 truck only had 15,000 miles on its odometer. Instead, they authorized $40,000 to fix up the ladder truck — a sum which grew to $60,000.

Berry told the municipal leaders that the new truck reflected a newer, more advanced technology, and that ladder trucks have saved lives locally, as ground-based ladders can’t reach appropriate heights. “Strategy and tactics are a big reason for a new truck,” he said. “It has advanced lighting and a better engine.” Local resident Scott Walton voiced his support of the purchase. “There’s a great bunch of guys here, and they work hard to give their time,” he said. “The fire company is not like it used to be — a social club,” he said. Walton continued, noting that Lake George would sorely miss the firefighters if they decided to quit their volunteer work for the department. “They really need the truck —it’s not just to show off. I hope everything stays friendly,” Walton added. “Let’s support the fire department.” Berry estimated that the fire department’s existing truck could be sold for about $50,000, providing a small offset to the new truck’s cost. “We have interested parties,” he said of potential buyers. Berry said the existing truck needed more repairs now, despite the extensive repairs it received this last year.

Asked about the .30-30 as a “good bush gun,” Bennett disputes the popular notion that a .30-30 is a good gun to shoot in woodsy areas. “I don’t think there is a good bush round,” he said. “There is nothing that pushes the bush aside.” Bennett said his concept of a good bush gun is one with a short barrel that is lightweight and easy to maneuver. While he has rifles suitable for hunting deer from 300 or 400 yards he said locally people are

It’s already showing that it’s tired,” he said, noting some electrical problems that sidelined it for several weeks. “For a while, the ‘check engine’ light was on.” Town board member Nancy Stannard questioned why someone would buy the 1995 fire truck if indeed it was in poor shape. Berry said the state certification on the truck is due to expire in January, and it would need to undergo inspection before then to continue to be dispatched to fires. The taxpayers of the town of Lake George would be responsible to pay for 75 percent of the truck’s cost. Town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson warned that financing $700,000 of the truck’s cost over 10 years would increase the town’s district 1 tax rate by 20 percent. “This would represent significant tax increase,” he said, suggesting that the purchase proposal be advanced to a public hearing in order to obtain input from town residents. Village Mayor Robert Blais said that the village had $200,000 in their equipment account that could be used as a down payment — but that using that money would deplete the account. Representative of booth municipal boards said they’d review the firefighters’ proposal. ■

The regular deer season runs Oct. 21 to Dec. 3. Bennett said some people will hunt deer with handguns, with most using a .44 caliber device. He said some people hunt deer in New York with a shotgun, but generally not by choice. A rifle is much more efficient, he said, but there are places in New York where you have to hunt with a shotgun.

normally not shooting deer from those distances. “Here, 75 yards is a long shot in the woods,” Bennett said. Bennett said North Creek Trading Company carries a number of black powder, or muzzle loader, rifles including Thompson/Center Arms Connecticut Valley Arms (CVA). He said they are not as popular for deer hunting, but there are still a lot out there. The muzzle-loading season ran Oct. 14-20.

Bennett carries both new and used guns. “You don’t really find them worn out,” he said. The North Creek Trading Company is located at 292 Main Street, North Creek, behind the Braley and Noxon Hardware. Call 518-251-4461. ■

Roundtable highlights energy savings programs Indian Lake residents brief attendees on home improvements By Bill Quinlivan CORRESPONDENT

INDIAN LAKE | The Indian Lake Main Street Revitalization Committee sponsored a roundtable discussion last month to highlight energy efficiency programs available to local residents. The income-based programs are designed to reduce utility costs. The Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) administered by New York State Homes and Community Renewal is geared towards low-income families, particularly the elderly, people with disabilities and children. The local agency on the ground is WarrenHamilton Counties Community Action. Once an application is approved, homeowners receive a free home energy audit designed to prioritize the ideal modifications. The subsequent report details the recommendations, their cost and the projected savings. “If you qualify for HEAP, many insulation and air sealing improvements can be made at no charge through EmPower NY,” said Jennifer Monroe of Adirondack Efficiency. The Assisted Home Performance Program (AHP) offers a 50 percent incentive up to $4,000. The program can be used in conjunction with EmPower NY. Financing is also available to pay the 50 percent share of the applicant. In many cases, no deposit is required. Each program has income guidelines. The qualification guidelines for the AHP program requires a household of one person

Brenda Valentine, president of the ILCDC and chair of the organization’s Main Street Revitalization Committee, said while these programs are mostly about savings and efficiency, there are also elements of comfort, safety and health when it comes to home environments. Local residents Temple and Annelies Taylor purchased an older home on Route 28 in Indian Lake. The historic home was one of the oldest in town and had fallen into rough condition. Temple has always enjoyed purchasing and renovating older homes, but wanted to take advantage of the energy efficiency programs to help get the home into a more comfortable living condition.

The Taylors heard about the programs and attended a meeting in 2013, which paved the way to the improvements. One of the more pressing problems is that the attic and basement areas were “sweating.” The program placed foam and cellulose insulation in the attic, also placed plastic on the dirt floor of the basement and sprayed foam insulation in the basement as well. Small payments were tackled onto their electric bill each month. The Taylors reported a decrease in the number of gallons of propane used each month in the winters since. Lee Petley saw the windows, doors and roof in her 1980 log home replaced. Insulation was added as well as a small propane heater. The cost was spread out across affordable monthly payments for a period of 10 years.

“I wouldn’t live anywhere else,” Petley said. The governor’s office announced on Monday that $59 million will be made available statewide through WAP this winter to help up to 9,200 income-eligible families cut utility costs. Up to $750,000 has been allotted for Warren and Hamilton counties. “This program has helped thousands of families cut utility costs, save money and build stronger, more energy efficient homes,” Cuomo said in a statement. “I urge any New Yorker who qualifies for this funding to see how we can help make your house more energy efficient, less expensive to maintain, and more resilient for whatever Mother Nature decides to throw our way.” For more information, contact WarrenHamilton Counties Community Action Agency at 518-648-5911 or Jennifer Monroe of Adirondack Efficiency at 518-956-2818. ■

Bobbie Holt making strawberry chicken — and a name — in North Creek

Copperfield’s head chef trying to bring something different By Christopher South STA FF W RITER

NORTH CREEK | New-York City has its Bobby Flay. North Creek has its Bobby Holt. Some might quibble over the comparison, but they really need to try the strawberry chicken before raising an objection. Holt, 57, has been working at Trapper’s Tavern at The Copperfield for about a year and a half, coming up from Saratoga, where

he worked in a variety of restaurants. Holt said he is a not a product of a culinary institute, but rather learned by doing - working his way up from dishwasher, to line cook, to becoming the head chef at a number of restaurants. Born in Massachusetts, Holt was raised primarily in Riverside, Calif., where he started working in restaurants during the summers while in high school. He said he found the kitchens fascinating, a lot of interesting people, yelling over the din of the busy kitchen. “Chefs did a lot of yelling back then. These days the chefs try to keep it together,” he said. After over 40 years in the business he understands why chefs were frazzled.

“You’ve got to like this kind of business,” he said. “You work holidays, weekends, 10 to 12 hours per day, it’s hot, and at the end of the day you’re too wound up to sleep,” he said. The benefits of being a head chef, however, is the creative outlet it offers, such as when he developed his strawberry chicken. “We had a pantry chef who had all these strawberries she didn’t know what to do with and asked be if I could use them,” Holt said. Holt took the strawberries and pan-seared chicken cutlets with some salt, pepper and shallots. He added red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and brown sugar and reduced it. He later added some whole strawberries and allowed them to heat up before serving them over the chicken, accompanied by fingerling potatoes and seasoned carrots. “Women really like this,” he said. For the guys, perhaps they would like to try a Fat Bobby Burger, where a beef burger is topped with cheese, bacon, pastrami, and a dollop of cole slaw. Holt learned to cook various kinds of food in several different venues. He was a head chef at Pennell’s, the longest continuously running restaurant in Saratoga, featuring old family Italian recipes. “It was a good start up place for me to have my first head chef position,” Holt said. From there he moved to Hattie’s in Saratoga, which features southern cooking - fried chicken, rigs, and pork chops. Later, they added chicken and waffles to the menu, and started doing Cajun cooking. He even went to New Orleans to learn the cooking. Holt said there is a real trick to getting southern cooking right.

Mainly a city guy, Holt said it has been an adjustment living in a small town, but he is finding things he likes; such as people remembering who he is and greeting him on the street, talking to him about the restaurant. “The people are really friendly,” he said. Trapper’s Tavern at The Copperfield is at 307 Main St., North Creek. For hours, call The Copperfield at 518-251-2200, or visit copperfieldinn.com. ■

The Fat Bobby Burger is one of Bobby Holt’s creations on the Trapper’s Tavern menu. It features a beef burger with cheese, bacon, pastrami and cole slaw. The Caprese salad features burratta cheese and a Lake George vinegar infused with pomegranate and quince, and a traditional Italian soup made with sausage, cannellini beans and escarole.

New firehouse garage predicted to boost efficiency, enhance public safety By Thom Randall STA FF W RITER

Fire at Ridin’ Hy Ranch

WARRENSBURG | Over many months, a new Warrensburg firehouse garage has been constructed. On Oct. 28, about 100 or more area citizens viewed its features first-hand, as the Warrensburg Volunteer Fire Co. held an open house. For three hours, the local firefighters conducted tours of the garage for local residents, showing them its various amenities — from its 24-foot-wide ceiling fan and equipment racks to its double-wide bays. In January 2016, residents of the Warrensburg Fire District — which includes a northern portion of the town of Lake George — voted 86-2 to borrow $1.61 million for garage’s construction. Since then, the fire district borrowed another $500,000 to complete the project, although only a portion of that money is expected to be spent on the work. The open house included a PowerPoint presentation which detailed information on the new building and how it will expedite responses to fire calls, boost the fire company’s

efficiency, and allow for better protection of their equipment and enhance public safety. Most of the local firefighters were present, greeting the public, in full-dress uniform. The garage encompasses 8,460 square feet, and includes five bays which are four feet taller than the bays in the present firehouse so the larger fire trucks built in recent decades can be properly accommodated. The new bays are more than double the length of modern fire trucks, so up to two can be housed in each bay — and since entrances will be on both ends, fire trucks can be driven directly through the bays, eliminating the need to back the trucks into the garage. As of Sept. 1, the fire trucks and other apparatus were moved into the garage. The structure includes a chief ’s office, a restroom, a room to fill air packs, and a mechanical room. The garage features radiant floor heat, and it is outfitted with fire sprinklers. The existing firehouse, originally built in 1929, had additions constructed in 1961 and 1978. Present plans call for the former firehouse bays to be renovated into a community room within the next half-dozen years. ■

No one injured, but building destroyed By Christopher South STA FF W RITER

The restaurant at the Ridin’ Hy Ranch is shown being cleared on Monday, Oct. 30. The restaurant at the year-round resort was destroyed by fire, Oct. 27, as the result of a carelessly discarded cigar. Eight fire companies were on scene for about seven hours, and the Horicon Fire Company was on scene for nine hours and returned twice on Saturday to put out hot spots. Photo by First Last

Hayes said he couldn’t tell how far the fire extended inside the building, but the entire outside on fire. The main structure of the restaurant was a total loss. Once on scene, the main focus was to save the connected building and other buildings about 10 feet off the back wall. Most of the mutual aid fire companies cleared the scene at around 10:30 p.m. Friday, but the Horicon Fire Company stayed on the scene until about 12:30 a.m. trying to go over hot spots. Horicon Fire still ended up returning to the scene on Saturday at 5:30 a.m. and again at 9:30 a.m. to put out hot spots that lit up again. Fire coordinators Teddy Riddle and Brian LaFlure were on scene.

Hayes said Bolton, Chestertown, Warrensburg, Pottersville, Bayridge, Lake George and West Glens Falls fire companies assisted in fighting the fire. Riverside covered the Chestertown station. North Warren, Lake George, and Warrensburg EMS also responded to the scene. ■

HORICON | Acting Horicon Fire Chief Scott Hayes said a man putting out a cigar in a paper cup on the balcony of the restaurant at the Ridin’ Hy Ranch was the cause of a fire that destroyed the ranch’s restaurant, Friday. Hayes, contacted by telephone on Oct. 30, said he called the Cause and Origin Unit from Glens Falls, which made the determination. The Horicon Fire Company received the alert of a fire at the restaurant on the Ridin’ Hy Ranch at 3:15 p.m. on Oct. 27 saying the restaurant, where there were 200 occupants, was on fire. “I don’t believe there were 200 people in the building,” Hayes said. “Perhaps there were 200 at Ridin’ Hy.” Horicon Fire rolled its two pumpers and one tanker to the fire located on the edge of the district. The Bolton Fire Company was called for mutual aid because Bolton was probably closer to the fire, but Horicon was first on the scene, said Hayes. The building was fully involved when they arrived on the scene. “When we got there, the whole second floor was on fire,” he said. “It was a ball of flame when we got there.”

Sun editor awarded for journalistic excellence

New York State Association of Health Care Providers honors reporter for dispatches on aide crisis By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

ALBANY | Sun Community News Managing Editor Pete DeMola has been honored for excellence in journalism by the New York State Association of Health Care Providers (HCP). Nominated by Rebecca Leahy, executive director of North Country Home Services, DeMola is the first reporter to receive the HCP Journalistic Excellence in Support of Home Care Award since the Associated Press’ Richard Richtmyer in 2008. This prestigious award follows a six-part series written by DeMola earlier this year on the challenges facing the North Country’s home health care industry. Articles in the series, which was published in weekly installments in February

and March, ranged from drilling down into insurance ratios, exploring long-term demographic trends to spending time on the road with health care workers and their patients. “Getting the story right is the keystone of what we do as reporters,” DeMola said. “I’m humbled to be honored by such an esteemed organization and truly appreciate their confidence and support.” DeMola worked with patients, aides, health care providers and even panned out to look at over-arcing legislation, all the while keeping a human element in each piece. “I could just tell from talking to him that he was an exceptional young man,” said Leahy. “I was impressed with his intelligence and his commitment to getting it right, and especially the compassion he had for the people that he interviewed.” Oftentimes reporters, when covering homecare, focus on the negative side of things — they focus on fraud, agencies doing something wrong, aides stealing something — but in his series, DeMola spotlighted the challenges permeating the industry and how worthwhile aides’ work is, said HCP President Claudia Hammar. “Finding an aide that comes to your home — that person really becomes a part of your family,”

Sun Community News Editor Pete DeMola was honored in Albany last week with the HCP Journalistic Excellence in Support of Home Care Award. Photo provided facing the Adirondack Park, including economic development and the effect state and federal policies have on rural, local governments. DeMola was named writer of the year by the New York State Press Association in 2016, beating out 57 other newspaper professionals vying for the honor. He joined the editorial team at Sun Community News in December of 2013. The HCP’s Journalistic Excellence in Support of Home Care Award was presented to DeMola at the annual HCP Awards Luncheon in Albany on Oct. 25. HCP, a statewide trade association, was founded in 1974. HCP represents home and community-based care providers across the state through advocacy, information and educational efforts. HCP’s members include 350 offices of licensed home care service agencies, certified home health agencies, hospices and health-related organizations. ■

Hammar said. “But it’s a professional relationship. He covered that so well. He made it so meaningful, and so anyone could understand. That is what’s so great about these articles.” “We are all very proud of Pete,” said Sun Community News Publisher Dan Alexander in a statement. “It says a lot when your peers, and now a statewide agency, recognize the valuable service we render to the community. “We are honored to have someone with Pete’s skills and drive leading our editorial team here at The Sun as we continue to expand our capabilities in the region.” Following his graduation from Syracuse University in 2005, DeMola traveled to China, where he spent five years living in Beijing honing his craft at a series of new media start-ups and state-run media outlets. Since returning to live full-time in the United States in 2013, the Syracuse native has been reporting on some of the most critical issues

Partial tax payments are not installments, assessor says

Partial payments and valuation not linked

than 100 percent of the yearly property tax owed, but said it is not an installment plan. “I had a few people contact me, Holt said. “It is about the ability to pay. Currently the tax collector can only accept 100 percent. The new law allows the town to collect less than 100 percent.” Holt said, for example, if a property owner’s tax was $1,000, and could only pay $800 when the tax is due, the municipality could accept the $800, and the taxpayer would have a $200 balance. Municipalities send tax payments to the county during January, February and March.

By Christopher South STA FF W RITER

JOHNSBURG | The Johnsburg tax assessor has said people are making mistakes when it comes to understanding the idea of partial tax payments. Christian Holt said New York State law was amended to allow municipalities to accept less

If there are shortages, the county would make the municipalities whole at the end of the tax collection period. The taxpayer would then owe the county and would be subject to penalties and interest. The new law allows the towns to accept partial payments and charge a municipal fee of not more than $10 to be paid with each partial payment. The partial payment system does not affect the levy, and the total valuation of the town has nothing to do with the town’s ability to collect taxes. “Whether we are at 2 percent or 100 percent

(of fair market value) partial payments have no effect on the taxes collected,” he said. At the Oct. 17 Johnsburg Town Board meeting, tax collector/town clerk Jo A. Smith recommended the town not consider partial tax payments, saying, “I don’t feel it would be a good thing.” Smith said she came to her recommendation after speaking to other town clerks and the town lawyer. “Our available funds would be cut in half,” she said. “And nothing’s been done on the reval. If we were at 100 percent the board might consider it.” ■

WarEagles’ season ends — but 2018 is promising By Thom Randall STA FF W RITER

LAKE GEORGE | As the Lake George/ Hadley-Luzerne football players left the field Oct. 27 at Whitehall High School, they hugged their coaches and embraced their fans. It wasn’t evident they just lost to Whitehall, 46-28. The seniors on the dual-school team, 10 of them, didn’t appear to be upset about their defeat. Instead, they seemed to dwell on their remarkable accomplishments in football over the past four years, coach Jeff Bennett said. “We competed in the extremely tough North Division — and to have the success they had, they felt good about themselves,” Bennett said. “They didn’t want the 2017 season to end.”

Choosing to play football four years ago — in an era of declining school enrollment and a declining interest in hard-contact sports — these athletes concentrated their energies on the gridiron. As freshmen, they accrued a season win-loss record of 0-9 in an era that Lake George/Hadley-Luzerne barely had enough athletes to play. Several games during that era were cancelled due to the thin roster, and there weren’t sufficient athletes for a junior varsity team. Each year, these young athletes gained strength and skills, improving that record each year. This season’s record ended 4-5, the best in recent years. “They turned around the program,” Bennett said of the senior football players. “It’s great that we’ve been improving every year, and

that’s all you can ask.” The highlights of the WarEagles’ past several years include claiming the War Canoe trophy for 2016 and 2017 by beating Corinth in a hard-fought battle. The team also treasured winning their last two homecoming games, Bennett said. “We were very competitive with every team we played this year — and that was huge,” said Bennett, who’s been coaching Lake George’s varsity football teams for 14 years. Another accomplishment for the squad was beating two talented teams from the Southern Division — Tamarac, which ended up competing in the Sectional playoffs, as well as Coxsackie-Athens. “We called it our civil war,” Bennett continued. Against Whitehall, the WarEagles domi-

nated the first half, with touchdowns scored by Clay Moody, Logan Duers, Michael Johnson and Addison Kelly — while Whitehall got into the end zone once. But the Railroaders responded in the second half with four more touchdowns in the second half to win the crossover game. Bennett said that despite the loss of the 10 talented seniors who will be graduating in June, the future looks bright for the WarEagles’ 2018 season. Not only are a lot of talented athletes returning, he said, but players will be drafting from the junior varsity team which accrued a 7-0-1 record this year. “We’re now a solid program, and were headed in the right direction,” he said. ■

Pickleball has started to catch on in Johnsburg Variation of tennis is a less strenuous sport By Christopher South STA FF W RITER

JOHNSBURG | It seems safe to say that the interest in pickleball has not soured, and has in fact been growing in the North Country. According to Johnsburg resident and pickleball player Susan Murante, she is seeing people come to Johnsburg from other towns to take advantage of more opportunities to participate in the sport. Murante, who has lived in the area since 1989, said she was a tennis player who started playing pickleball in Florida in the winter, and now enjoys playing here as well. “We finally got pickleball in North Creek,” she said. The Town of Johnsburg has two pickleball courts near the basketball and tennis courts at the Ski Bowl Recreation Area. Games are scheduled for Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 10 a.m., and they expect to play at the Ski Bowl through November, weather depending. From Dec. 4, the group will move into the Johnsburg Central School on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Indoors pickleball is a good option for a winter activity, said Murante. “If you don’t ski there is nothing to do here in the winter,” she said. Murante said she initially liked the game because she is a tennis player. It is played on what is essentially a short tennis court with

a different net. And despite pickleball being not as strenuous as tennis, Murante said it is really good exercise. “I think it is fun. I really enjoy it,” she said. There is also a social aspect to the game, which is usually played with four people. Murante said the scoring is different from tennis and can get confusing, but there are usually people there who can help, or even instruct. The only thing people need to play pickleball is the paddle, which can be purchased online, or at a sporting goods store. A quick Google search revealed pickleball paddle prices

Chamber event offers briefing for local healthcare options

Chamber event provides information to chamber members, others By Christopher South STA FF W RITER

CHESTERTOWN | Representatives from health insurance providers and the healthcare industry were at the North Warren Chamber of Commerce on Oct. 11 to provide

information on local healthcare options. Lisa Bedard-Dupee, director of Health Insurance Services from the North Country Chamber of Commerce in Plattsburgh, was joined by representatives from Hudson Headwaters Health Network, Adirondack Health Institute and Glens Falls Hospital Health Promotion Center. “Everyone in New York State has to have health insurance,” Bedard-Dupee said. She said unlike many states, New York has its own insurance marketplace, which will help people find insurance. Bedard-Dupee advised people to notify

their insurance representative if they have a change of life event, such as marriage, divorce, a death of an insure member. A member of the public can become a chamber member for $40 per year. She said changes for life events can be made at any time. Otherwise, employers normally offer insurance during a special enrollment period. Bedard-Dupee said chamber members are eligible to subscribe to Guardian Dental, which is effective immediately. She said they would also be eligible for a vision plan that includes a $20 co-pay for a

At the seminar, there was also a health insurance navigator from the Adirondack Health Institute, to help connect people to coverage including Medicaid, Child Health Plus, both plans that include health benefits to children, and Qualified Health Plans, which meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act. Representatives from Hudson Headwaters Health Network were on hand to provide information about their locations. The representatives said they take most major insurance except for Cigna and Aetna. ■

JOHNSBURG| Johnsburg residents got another chance to hear from local candidates Oct. 24 as the Gore Region Chamber of Commerce sponsored a second candidates forum at the Tannery Pond Community Center. Candidates for town supervisor (see related story), town board members, town clerk and superintendent of highways, took stage in the Tannery Pond Community Center auditorium in a forum moderated by members of the American government class at the

JOHNSBURG | A new Town of Johnsburg supervisor will be seated after the first of the year after voters choose between two candidates running in the Nov. 7 election. Town supervisor Ronald Vanselow has been unable to serve in his elected capacity since he had surgery in February. For the past eight months, Johnsburg has been without a full time supervisor and has not had representation on the Warren County Board of Supervisors. Councilman Peter Olesheski, Jr. and Adirondack Community Outreach Center director Andrea Hogan are facing off for the seat. ■

ANDREA HOGAN

Hogan, 50, works full time as the ACOC director, is the Democratic and Johnsburg Hamlets United Party candidate.

Olesheski has worked for Warren County Department of Public Works for 16 years and served on the town board for nearly six, which he said provided him with experience and knowledge of how municipal governments operate. “I possess strong leadership skills, experience with planning for and facilitating projects and managing the work of others,” Olesheski said.

Hogan said she has a proven record of steady, thoughtful leadership in the non-profit sector. She has nine years experience working with the 18-member ACOC board, nine years experience managing more than 100 volunteers, over 20 years experience in private and public business management, and over 25 years experience in volunteer service to the economically disadvantaged, crime victims and the environment. “I posses the qualities this town needs right now: ability to bring consensus, willingness to listen and dedication to engaging everyone,” Hogan said.

Olesheski said he hopes to bring a new energy and passion to the supervisor position. He said there are many town projects to be finished, which he wants to see completed. “I am asked a lot about the North Creek streetscape,” Olesheski said. “There was discussion before I got on the board about redoing the sidewalks.” Olesheski said talk included replacing waterlines under Main Street and the county repaving the road. He said there were also plans to install decorative lamp posts and benches. “It seems like we’ve only been able to do some...and it’s been out there for a long time, and there is some support for it in the community,” Olesheski said. Olesheski said he would also like to see some resolution to the offer to Johnsburg, by the Open Space Institute (OSI), of the Mill Creek Recreation area. “We have not talked about it since July, and we have the groundwork laid,” he said. “We have looked at grants through the county and talked about creating a parking area and trails, but it’s not being followed up on.” Olesheski wants to see better long-term planning, multi-year budgeting, building capital reserves for the Highway Department, and to establish a reserve fund for the EMS district. He would like to add a Parks Department employee to maintain Ski Bowl Park and other green spaces. Olesheski said he wants to fill the vacancy on the county board and “rebuild a strong working relationships with the rest of the communities in the county.”

If elected, Hogan said she would improve communications throughout the town, including updating the town website, adding features that will allow citizens to stay informed and offer feedback, and keep it updated. She said she would create an atmosphere of inclusiveness in government and make sure when decisions are made all interested parties have access to the information that went into the process. Hogan said she would promote good work practices, give employees a sense of shared purpose, and promote shared services wherever practical. Hogan said she would encourage new business development, revitalize organizations that support economic growth, and network at county and state levels to bring funding for infrastructure and business opportunity. “I will call on 10 years of grant writing experience to seek money for ideas that will expand our prospects, enlist the help of the many citizen volunteers who are already working for town wide improvements, and coordinate their efforts and engage them in long term planning,” Hogan said. I will revitalize our sense of community, create town-wide events to celebrate who we are, and identify common causes that will unite us.” Hogan said she would hope to see more spending on snow removal, because more snowfall means more tourists in the area, boosting the economy and providing jobs. She said she would like to see less spending on healthcare costs. “No one is getting rich on this budget. This is, and always has been, a sparse budget that does the most with the least,” Hogan said. Hogan commended budget officer Councilman Gene Arsenault for his efforts in putting together the latest, tentative budget.

Asked if not having representation on the board of supervisors has had a detrimental effect on Johnsburg, Olesheski said, “We lack a vote on the county board, we lack a presence at standing committee meetings, and their have been some big issues that have come up at the county level.” Olesheski said Johnsburg has not had a voice in discussions at the county level, and there has been no one to even bring information back from county meetings. “Why were we not asked to lead discussion on train cars?” Olesheski said, referring to a controversy surrounding the storage of rail cars on lines owned or leased by the Saratoga & North Creek Lines. ■

A little-known fact about Hogan: “I love to grow and preserve my own food.” ■

HOGAN AND OLESHESKI DISCUSS SKI BOWL PARK The town has been working for at least two years to arrive at an agreement with the Olympic Region Development Authority for Gore Mountain to use a portion of the Ski Bowl Park for summer operations. Asked about coming to an agreement with ORDA on the use of the property, Olesheski said, “I believe that having ORDA operate non-winter activities at Ski Bowl would be a huge benefit to North Creek businesses and have long term benefits for the Town as a whole. “I want to see ORDA commit to assisting with long term maintenance/ development of the park, increase promotion of the town as a four-season destination and ensure that residents will have access to the year round attractions for free,” Olesheski said.

Johnsburg hears candidates at second chamber event Town board, clerk, highway candidates join supervisors

Johnsburg Central School. The three board candidates, all Republicans, were asked about the town partnering with the Olympic Region Development Authority. ORDA/Gore Mountain is seeking to use what has been described as an unused portion of the Ski Bowl Park for summer operations. Incumbent Councilman Arnold Stevens said the town board already has two members working with ORDA and said the town is getting close to an agreement. “We are standing close with ORDA,” he said. Laurie Arnheiter, candidate for town board said, “There has been a very long and successful relations with the operations manager of Gore Mountain.” Arnheiter said ORDA has contributed a lot to the development of Ski Bowl Park facilities, and she said the renegotiation of the contract to allow

Nightingale

Hogan said the agreement with ORDA is not a trade-off, but a contract re-negotiation. “The economic impact of Gore/ORDA operating throughout the year in the Ski Bowl has tremendous potential to bring benefit to everyone in Johnsburg,” Hogan said. “I think that our town officials have had our collective interest in mind when asking for very specific information before moving forward incrementally.” She said ORDA’s investment in the towns of North Elba, Wilmington and Keene has made a real difference, but the plan for the Ski Bowl Park area is lacking detail, but said she feels there will be a resolution. “I have every confidence that this can and will be resolved to everyone’s benefit,” she said. ■

Stevens

summer activities should not have taken 2.5 years. Incumbent Councilwoman Katie Nightingale said the committee formed two years ago and has developed a close relationship between the town and ORDA. “The more successful Gore is the better for the town,” she said. Asked what is the most significant action the candidate would take to benefit Johnsburg, Arnheiter said she would put to work an action plan already developed, and go out for grants and loans, and get back a driving fore for the town. Nightingale said the first thing would be finalizing the agreement with Gore Mountain, and the second thing would be expanding solar power for all town buildings. Stevens said the number one priority is developing unity on the town board, the town departments, and various hamlets of Johnsburg.

Arnheiter

“Without unity all the programs are going nowhere,” he said. Asked what would be the greatest opportunities and challenges for the next two to four years Nightingale said, “I would look into the sewer district,” which she said would benefit the entire town. She said the future growth of ORDA would help create jobs and encourage new business. Stevens said the highway department building is “a dwindling asset.” A question directed to the highway superintendent candidates suggested there was talk of replacing the building. Stevens also said the town’s trail system could be more developed. Arnheiter said the Town of Johnsburg needed a driving factor and more energy, including a Development Corps. She said she would work toward getting better broadband to the town. ■

Peckham had installed a new drum plant, or asphalt plant, which mixes a drum of asphalt rather than a batch, meaning smaller quantities. “It actually has fewer moving parts and is more efficient,” he said.

Joe Stevenson, another plant operator, said the asphalt contains a liquid polymer, which he said is a kind of rubber, adding elasticity to the asphalt.

Tree trimming leads to dispute between neighbor, town Privacy fence should deaden the sound, supervisor says By Christopher South STA FF W RITER

CHESTERTOWN | A neighbor of the Town of Chester tennis courts said the town was out of bounds when it trimmed vegetation on her property without her permission. However, Chestertown supervisor Craig Leggett said it turns out the lilac trees and shrubs were actually on town property. Melissa Carroll, whose residence abuts the town’s tennis courts, attended the Oct. 10 Chester Town Board meeting to discuss the settlement of what she said was an intrusion on her property. “The town cut my trees down, and I want it fixed,” she said. The town offered to put up an eight-foot stockade fence as a sound barrier, but it would have to put it on Carroll’s property in order to leave a buffer for trimming vegetation along the tennis court fence. However, if going on private property to cut trees was a problem, so was the solution. Town board attorney Mark Schachner said the town would

have to get the property owner to give permission to put the fence on her property, and sign a release for liability purposes. According to Leggett, the matter has evolved since the Oct. 10 meeting when the town board discussed installing the fence on Carroll’s property. On Oct. 13, Leggett said the lilac trees and shrubs were actually on town property. “We were able to find a survey map that pointed out where the property corners were and we located those corners,” Leggett said. “The town does have a buffer strip to allow it work on tennis court fence without having to cross over onto private property.” Leggett said this year the town was able to take advantage of a Warren County Youth Employment Program, and in July they set a crew to work on trimming back shrubs. “They severely cut the shrubs down as opposed to just trimming them back,” Leggett said. Leggett said the crew eliminated the natural, visual and sound barrier, and the town put up a six-foot stockade fence along the tennis courts, but Carroll told the town board it was not addressing the sound from pickleball. “I don’t want to have to listen to pickleball at 7:30 in the morning,” Carroll said. Carroll suggested not allowing pickleball before 9 a.m.,

but later said she would be okay with 8:30 or 8 a.m. Leggett said the town would probably be going ahead with installing the stockade fence. “As a good neighbor the town is okay with putting up a sound-deadening fence and still maintain a shrub line without negatively affecting the quiet for the neighbor,” Leggett said. ■

PRAYER OF APPLICATION TO THE HOLY SPIRIT

You who solve all problems, who light all roads, so that I can obtain my goals. You who give me the divine gift to forgive & forget all evil against me & that in all instances of my life you are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things & to confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you even in spite of all material illusions. I wish to be with you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy toward me & mine. You must say this prayer for 3 days & after 3 days the favor requested will be granted even if it may appear difficult. The prayer must be published immediately after the favor is granted without mentioning the favor. Only your initials should appear at the bottom. DC
