VICTORY

Local Tri-Lakes Business Alliance to host wine and beer benefit

Elise wins NY-21 seat over Woolf, Funniciello

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — The Tri-Lakes Business Alliance will be holding a fundraiser on Nov. 12 at 5:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. at Suzie Q’s in Brant Lake and invite the community to sample some craft beers and fine wine.

Many towns throughout the region have alliances that are comprised of business owners along with members of the community who would like to see their hometown flourish and live up to its full potential. These men and women usually gather regularly to discuss local happenings as well as construct a strategy on how to conduct various events in the area.

Does the Chestertown Farmer’s Market, A Taste of the Tri-Lakes, the Brant Lake Winter Carnival, a St Patrick’s Day Parade, Rum Runner’s Weekend, Music on Main Street, monthly classic Car Shows, and ATV Poker Runs (that benefit local charities) ring a bell? For residents of Chestertown and Horicon, these events all have become an integral part of your community, and they have been developed by the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance.

Video-recording Thurman town meetings is quelling unruly behavior thom@denpubs.com THURMAN — Citizens who shake their fists or yell at the Thurman town board during public meetings will from now on be able to see their antics soon afterwards on YouTube — and so will the rest of the world.

Town supervisor Evelyn Wood, who has summoned county sheriff’s deputies several times in the last three years to keep order at town meetings, has initiated a procedure of video recording town meetings and posting

them on YouTube.

Although meetings since late August have been recorded and posted on the Internet, no recording was made of the Oct. 6 special meeting. During that event, resident Jean Coulard, a political opponent of Wood’s, rushed towards the board members, gesturing and speaking loudly — and she refused to stop talking and sit down, according to witnesses and the town minutes.

Wood subsequently called the sheriff’s department and they dispatched a patrolman.

In the following days, Wood

met with county Sheriff Bud York and Undersheriff Shawn Lamouree to explore ways of maintaining order at town meetings and protecting public safety, Wood said.

“I was concerned that someone might get knocked down or hurt,” she said.

York advised Wood to video record the meetings from two angles — with not just one camera pointing toward the board to record the business conducted — but to obtain another camera that would be aimed at the crowd.

This second camera, now on order, will be capturing not only the comments of the crowd, but their behavior.

The videos recorded so far

can be obtained by typing in appropriate keywords in the search bar on YouTube’s web

page, subscribing to the Thurman town government’s YouTube channel, or activating a

Thurman has already been posting audio recordings of its meetings on the town webpage.

Wood said the videos provide far more value than just quelling unruly behavior — they offer local residents the opportunity to see how town leaders are conducting municipal business, she said.

“If citizens see the meetings first-hand, they pick up more of what occurred,” she said, noting that the “theatrics” typical of Thurman town meetings have been curbed in the videotaped meetings.

Marine Shawn Swanson gives back after traumatic brain injury

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Shannon Swanson never thought that after years of being protected by her older brother, Shawn, she would ever end up taking care of him.

Major Shawn Swanson, now 46, was in a nearly fatal car crash in June of 2010 that initially placed him in a medically induced coma.

Now, four years later, the Marine has not simply recovered, but he has been giving back to the people who helped him survive.

Shawn, a highly ranked Marine and decorated Iraq War Veteran, was never expected to recover. The impact on his brain was so severe that doctors told Shannon her brother would never live alone again.

Not only did Major Swanson recover, but his neurosurgeon called him a miracle. Shannon explained that the healing process for severe brain injuries can take copious amounts of time, but just years after his accident, Shawn’s brain scans showed something extraordinary.

“Doctors told us it looked like a minor concussion and that was it, we looked at each other in shock because we knew everything he had gone through, no one could believe how well he had recovered,” said Shannon.

The Swanson siblings, who have another brother and sister, had each other through it all, but Shannon

said an astounding part of Shawn’s recovery process came from support through the Semper Fi fund.

The Semper Fi fund, established in 2004, states that their mission is to, “provide immediate financial assistance and lifetime support to post 9/11 wounded, critically ill and injured members of all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, and their families, ensuring that they have the resources they need during their recovery and transition back to their communities.”

Swanson, who now resides (on his own) in Wilmington, N.C., has done what not many would think to do and has created a way to give back to the organization who, with his sister Shannon, were his biggest cheerleaders. This hero-turned-miracle has now channeled a hobby into a fundraising effort that

is beginning to take off.

Swanson began working with a lathe in the fall of 2013.

This machine tool can be used by craftsmen in countless ways: Swanson used his lathe to begin a line of finely crafted pens, letter openers, wine-stoppers and the like. The pieces, all hand made by the Marine Major, come with a personal thank you from the Marine and for an extra cost can come with a beautiful, handmade wooden box. Swanson gives all profits to the Semper Fi fund.

“This means everything to him, he gets up everyday for this,“ said Shannon. “It is all about giving back now to these marines and their families. It is his way of continuing to take care of his men.”

Swanson lives his life like the leader he was before his accident and the even stronger leader he became afterwards. Swanson commits every part of himself to giving back to and protecting the force that he put his life on the line for.

This man lets nothing hold him back and continues to amaze his friends and family through his selfless acts dedicated to his fellow soldiers. As Shannon answered questions during the interview, she nonchalantly mentioned that Major Swanson had just finished a 10K in D.C., to which all proceeds he raised benefited the Semper Fi Fund.

Shannon and Shawn have attended several events together to raise awareness, funds, and to celebrate wounded servicemen. The siblings recently traveled to New York City to attend “Stand Up for Heros”, an event by the Bob Woodruff Foundation that celebrate and thank men and women like Swanson.

Swanson brings his pens wherever he goes, displaying them to family, friends, other veterans, strangers and even celebrities. To inquire about or purchase a set of Major Swanson’s hand-crafted items, please email swanny49@hotmail.com.

Shannon Swanson was there for her brother and rooted for him while others may have doubted he would ever come back from this whirlwind.

“It was my time to take care of him. You have to do what you have to do for family. They need someone there to remind them who they are, where they came from, and what they stand for. He’s a Marine...leave no man behind.”

Boost in revenues to keep 2015 Bolton tax rate stable

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com BOLTON LANDING — Despite increased expenses, the 2015 budget for the town of Bolton predicts boosted revenues that result in a tax rate that is unchanged or lower from 2014.

The spending plan calls for $3.06 million in appropriations for general municipal expenses, to be offset completely by $2.7 million in revenues and $350,000 drawn from unexpended balances. These appropriations represent a 2.6 percent increase from 2014, offset by $98,690 more revenue than in 2014 and drawing $20,000 less from unexpended balance than in 2014.

These revenues are generated primarily through Warren County sales taxes, which are shared with the local municipalities based on their individual aggregate property valuation. With its ample amount of lakefront property, Bolton receives a hefty portion of the sales tax revenues that are doled out. Unlike most of the county’s other towns and the city of Glens Falls, Bolton’s general municipal expenses are paid almost entirely with sales tax revenue.

The local property tax levy of $799,000 — dedicated to pay for highway expenses — is virtually unchanged from the present year, although highway appropriations are up 1.3 percent from $1.974 million to $1.999 million.

Revenues are projected to increase 2.1 percent from $1.175 million to $1.2 million, town supervisor Ron Conover said.

“The economy is staying steady if not im-

proving, and this has helped enormously,” he said, noting that to date this year Warren County’s sales tax receipts are up 1.3 percent, although the first three quarters of 2014 have lagged behind some optimistic projections made early in the year.

Salaries of Bolton town employees, union and non-union, are to increase 2.4 percent, and health coverage is expected to increase by as much as 14 percent. Conover said the town is also expecting to boost spending on local infrastructure.

There’s also a doubling of an annual payment — from $12,500 to $25,000 — towards the control of various invasive plant species, including Japanese Knotweed, which has been choking out native vegetation along stream corridors in the town. A local task force has been very effective in turning back the infestation of the fast-propagating species, Conover said.

The 2015 town budget features an increase in the water and sewer districts’ flat fees — $5 more per quarter for water, and $11 additional per quarter for sewer. The fees charged

by Bolton’s lighting district are to be the same as 2014. Expenditures for fire protection in the Bolton Fire Disrict are to increase from $447,410 to $466,310, a 4.2 percent boost.

Tax rates based on property value are to decrease slightly, Conover said, because the tax base has expanded with recent construction and property improvement. Also, rebounding property sales has resulted in increased mortgage tax revenue, he said.

“It’s a solid budget for 2015, Conover said.

“We run a pretty tight ship here.”

Fishing tourney

Continued from page 1 A trade show featuring manufacturers of fishing equipment and others in the fishing industry is expected to draw tourists, Blais said.

Lake George Village Mayor Robert Blais is planning the event in conjunction with the S.A.V.E. Lake George Committee — which is dedicated to protecting lakewater quality — and the Lake George Fishing Alliance.

Children’s rides and scenic boat cruises will also be available. Early registration will have its benefits: boaters arriving on Friday will be able to register, have a free on-site wa-

A field of flags will grace the west lawn at Fort William Henry Hotel over the Veterans Day weekend. It is a small token to show Fort William Henry’s gratitude to the soldiers who defend our freedom. The display will begin Nov. 7 and remain in place until Wednesday, Nov. 12. A musket salute will take place on the field at 11 a.m. Nov. 11. The public is invited to walk the aisles of the flag display between the hours of dawn and dusk. Participants are asked to do so with silent respect for those soldiers represented in the celebration. The Fort will also be placing a wreath at the Grave of the Unknown Soldier, located outside the Fort next to the Military Cemetery at the southern side of the property.

tercraft inspection conducted and be allowed to berth their boats at the Village docks. Both Mossy Point and the new State Beach launches will be utilized. Weigh stations will be located in both the north and south basin of the lake.

Mid-July was chosen for the event, as it is not only considered an excellent time of year for fishing, but tourism typically experiences a slowdown at that point, Blais said.

The S.A.V.E committee is seeking Occupancy Tax funding from Warren County as well as the towns of Bolton, Lake George and Queensbury. The Village of Lake George has already committed funds for the event. The S.A.V.E Lake George acronym stands for Stop Aquatic Invasives from Entering Lake George.

The S.A.V.E. Committee raised tens of thousands of dollars

over the last year or so, donating it toward the mandatory boat inspection and decontamination program that experienced its debut in 2014. The program, featuring a mission to keep invasive species out of Lake George, was declared a success by boaters and anglers as well as local and state officials.

Blais said he expects strong public support for the King George Fishing Derby due to its varied activities as well as its mission.

“We want in some way to show our appreciation to the anglers for their unconditional support and at the same time raise awareness of the fantastic fishing opportunities of our lake,” Blais said in a prepared statement.

Publisher’s Column

Adirondack Journal Editorial

We should all be allowed death with dignity

T

hings that give us great anxiety often come in the form of questions that will never be answered. What happens when you die? What will it feel like? Physical reactions can occur from the sudden anxiety: our hands sweat, our chest tightens, and thoughts become dizzy as a fog rushes over a person’s entire body. But then we wake up. The flash is over.

We remember something that is on our side, and that is the one thing many of us are afraid of most: the unknown.

What we must reflect on is that this is not to be feared, but revelled in. We can feel free inside of this very idea. Maybe we will live only 6 more months or maybe we will live for another 100 years, the beauty is that we will never know. Our minds can wander from day to day and let life take us wherever it chooses. One young woman, Brittany Maynard, was robbed of this freedom.

On Nov. 1, in her bedroom, with her husband, mother, stepfather and best friend by her side, Maynard knew she would die. She knew because she chose this for herself. The 29-year-old Maynard is among a select group of people in the U.S. who had been evaluated by physicians and then administered a lethal dosage of medication that ended her life peacefully.

Under the Death with Dignity Act, residents of Washington, Montana, Oregon, Vermont, and New Mexico can be prescribed this drug if they meet all requirements that the legislation details.

The legislation states a person must be “a competent adult who is a resident suffering from a terminal illness that will lead to death within six months.”

After months of suffering excruciating headaches, Maynard was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer on Jan. 1, 2014. A few days after her diagnosis, she underwent a pair of surgeries that were unsuccessful and her tumor continued to grow. In April, doctors told the young woman she had an estimated six months left to live. She was given an answer to the unknown.

Maynard thoroughly researched her options, hoping that something would provide her and her family with some sense of hope. She read about radiation and hospice care but found both options to be even more terrifying. She read that “dying naturally” in her case, with stage 4 Glioblastoma, could mean slowly losing her cognitive ability altogether, her young body very much alive but her brain dying as she lost touch with her true self more everyday.

The conclusion the brave woman came to was to take control over the last thing she could: when her life would end. She now knew how it would end, that it could happen any second, but she would choose when the unbearable pain had

become enough.

Brittany Maynard and her husband Dan Diaz moved from California to Oregon, going great lengths and overcoming countless obstacles in order to be residents of a state that allows death with dignity.

As the subject ignites both whispers of disapproval and shouts of support across the country, we must consider exactly how this story would fit into our own lives, how we would handle knowing the one and only answer we should never have to face.

Why do we allow those who have never endured a debilitating, terminal illness to dictate how we will live and die? Brittany Maynard’s face isn’t plastered across magazine stands and your Facebook newsfeed because she is young or because she is pretty, it is because she took a stand.

Maynard allowed the public to look inside the most private, sacred part of a human being’s life; She was a hero, she took this personally, and so should you. The young woman wanted to see a world where every human being is given the right to die with dignity, not just a select number of states.

There are countless pieces comparing death with dignity to suicide, calling it a “slippery slope to euthanasia” and questioning the moral lining of it all. Everyone has a reason for their personal beliefs, but the facts disprove many theories. A patient is directly involved in the DWD process. Many times the drug is even used simply for peace of mind, with only 752 out of 1,173 patients in Oregon actually ingesting the drug once it was administered.

Do you know why we have the time to discuss this? Because we are not busy fighting for our lives. We aren’t watching our families fall apart as they hold on to the hope that a family member might beat terminal cancer. We don’t feel responsible for the tears our mothers cry every night or the nightmares our children have about when we will die. We don’t stay awake at night, making sure we are still breathing, looking around the room to hold on to all we have ever known.

So, now when our hands sweat, our chest tightens, and we are short of breath due to the anxiety over death - be grateful. The physical anxiety we often feel when questioning the unknown is a thought that lives in our heads — not a cancer that lives in the bodies of so many people, people like Brittany Maynard. She died for a cause that she believed in, and the least we can do is try to understand why. ÑD

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden

One Hundred Years Ago – November, 1914 Republicans win landslide in election

The Republican party made a clean sweep in the state and in the county. The Democrats were effectually squelched and the Progressives party made a poor showing. The Tuesday election (Nov. 3, 1914) was a big Republican victory.

In Warren County 6,814 ballots were cast for the four leading gubernatorial candidates out of a registration of 9,275. Judge Charles S. Whitman received 4,083, which was 2,085 more than Governor Martin H. Glynn whose vote was 1,997. Progressive candidate Frederick M. Davenport received but 172 votes in the county. Charles S. Whitman is rumored to be the Republican opponent for the presidency in 1916. His plurality state wide was 125,000 votes. (Note – In 1914 Charles Whitman “rumored” that he might run for the presidency in 1916. In 2014 George Pataki “rumored” that he might do the same in 2016. This nonsense seems to be a good ploy for politicians to get their names in the newspaper.)

Fred J. Hayes, of Warrensburgh, put up a good fight for member of assembly against his powerful opponent, Assemblyman H.E.H. Brereton, who was up for re-election but the odds were too great and Brereton won by a plurality of 1,386 votes.

Dr. D.L. Rogers, Republican, was re-elected coroner over Dr. Charles B. Cunningham, Democratic and Progressive parties, by a plurality of 1,297 votes.

The Democrats were painfully surprised when they were crushed beneath a Republican landslide. They say they will “come back.” The Progressives lost heavily everywhere. These dismal figures seem to indicate that they need no longer be reckoned with as a national factor. (Note – Teddy Roosevelt’s “breakaway from the Republicans” Progressive party was finished by 1916.)

Senator James A. Emerson, of Warrensburgh, Republican, was re-elected by a big plurality over Edmund J. Pickett, Democrat.

Emerson received 2,168 votes in Warren County and in Essex County, 1,300 votes. W.W. Richards, Progressive party, received 316 votes in Warren County.

The weather was ideal and the day was quiet and there was no obstacle in getting out the full vote in Warrensburgh. Out of a total registration of 745, only 591 were polled, 312 in District 1 and 279 in District 2, uptown.

Mishap causes pain and suffering

Frank E. Haskell, of the Haskell – Hall Company, Warrensburgh, slipped on the basement stairs in his store about two weeks ago and endeavoring to save himself from falling, grasped the railing and braced himself suddenly and with such force that he strained the muscles of his chest and stomach, causing an injury from which he has suffered considerable pain, necessitating a period of enforced idleness. He is improving slowly and expects to be back at work soon. (Note – In this column in the Jan. 11, 2014 issue of the Adirondack Journal is the story of Frank and his brother, George Haskell, general merchants in Warrensburgh, moving out of their grocery store on Hudson Street and starting up a department store at the former establishment of Thomas B. McGann in the Aldrich-McGann block.)

Lake George news

A two-story stucco building to be used as a fire house and village hall is nearing complication in Lake George. It is situated in the center of the village connected with the main street by a wide

driveway. It will be occupied by a hose company of 32 members of which Henry J. Gabb is foreman.

Not in years has the water in Lake George been as low as at the present time. The same thing may be said of all other lakes and streams in this section. There was a little bit of rain Nov. 4, 1914, the first in several weeks, but there is hardly a trace of moisture in the ground for a depth of several feet. Should winter close in without copious rains, as it is feared it will, the effect on next year’s crops will be bad. Coal dealers have faith that winter is surely coming.

Leland House to be born again

The Leland House, at Schroon Lake, destroyed by fire in the early morning of Oct. 31, 1914, will be replaced by a modern structure which will be completed and ready to swing open its doors for the reception of summer guests on June 1, 1915. Such is the decision of L.W. and J.A. Emerson, of Warrensburgh, owners of the property.

The work of clearing away the debris was begun Monday morning, Nov. 9, 1914, by a big force of men and teams in charge of Andrew M. Reidy, of Warrensburgh. While the work is in progress, materials for the new building will be assembled and as soon as the site is clear, everything will be in readiness to push the construction work as rapidly as the weather will permit.

The Leland House site is one of the finest in the Adirondacks.

On an eminence about 500 feet from the shore of Schroon Lake, it commands a magnificent view of that beautiful body of water.

The lawn in front of the hotel is shaded by many fine trees, many of which passed safely through the fire. The Schroon Lake people are overjoyed at the decision of the Emerson’s to rebuild. (Note – The full story of the tragic fire that consumed the Leland House can be found in this column in the Oct. 25, 2014 Adirondack Journal. The hotel burned again on Dec. 16, 1938.)

School house burns

The high school building at Elizabethtown was destroyed Tuesday, Nov. 10, 1914 by a fire which is supposed to have started from an overheated furnace. School was in session and when the rooms filled with smoke the pupils became frightened, but a panic was averted by the principal and his teaching staff sounding the fire drill bell.

The building was a wooded structure built originally in 1816 with an addition constructed in 1895. The teachers managed to save the piano, a number of the seats and the school record

Long time resident dies

James O. Cameron, 84, died in November, 1914 at the home of his son, Dudley E. Cameron, with whom he resided on River Street. He was born in Warrensburgh on the Cameron farm near the Stony Creek line, Aug. 11, 1830 and has been a life-long member of the town. Of sturdy Scotch lineage, he possessed all the virtues of that race and was highly respected for his upright character. He leaves a widow, the former Lydia Ann Murray, four sons and three daughters, George, J. Freeman., Dudley E., Henry D. Cameron and Mrs. Edward Coward, Mrs. William Kenyon and Mrs. John Coon. The funeral was held on Sunday afternoon at the Methodist Episcopal Church, the Rev. C.S. Agan officiating. Burial was in the Warrensburgh Cemetery. (Note – James Cameron lived through seemingly the best and some times the worst parts of American history. When he was born in 1830 Warrensburgh was a seventeen year old non-descript frontier town and James was

six years old before Benjamin Peck Burhans came here to change it all into an bustling industrial town. He was 19 years old in 1849 when the great California gold rush started. James was 31 years old when Abraham Lincoln entered the White House. He was 35 when the Civil War was finally over. The year he died at 84 years, 1914, was the year World War 1 started. James Cameron saw it all!)

Old farm still standing

Jacob E. Johnson brought a mason to Thurman from Warrensburgh, Monday, Nov. 9, 1914 to lay some cement floors and do some plastering at Meadowbrook Farm. George Rounds and Wallace Tucker finished laying the cellar walls for Johnson’s new milk house at the farm, Saturday, Nov. 9, 1914. They did a fine job. (Note – Wallace Tucker was the father of the late Warrensburgh Town Historian, Mabel Tucker. Jacob Johnson’s ancestral home, which had been in his family since 1792 is today Nettle Meadows Farm, which, I am told, makes the best goat cheese to be found anywhere.)

Trout Lake, Bolton

Milo Cardle is skidding logs for Elbridge Pratt at Trout Lake.

Dennis Pratt has sold his potatoes there and is going to move to Knowlhurst, Stony Creek, in the near future.

James Palmer, with his son, Garther and son-in-law, Fred Lord are busily engaged in clearing Ball Mountain of hard wood logs, posts and four foot wood for Charles Carey.

Looking back in time

It was just one hundred and thirty-three years ago, Oct. 19, 1781, that the Revolutionary War finally ended.

It was just fifty years ago, Oct. 19, 1864, that a Civil War raid took place on St. Albans, Vermont. It was the northernmost land action to take place during the entire war.

It was just eleven years ago, Nov. 26, 1903, that the new Glen bridge opened to the public. (Note – It is now, just one hundred and eleven years after it opened, that the 370 foot Glen bridge, in southeast Thurman, is to have its foundation reconstructed in an $8.3 million FEMA project, anticipated to begin in 2016. The bridge was last constructed in 1959.))

Sweet and sour notes

An inch or two of snow whitened the ground the morning of Nov. 11, 1914, but didn’t last long after the sun got a focus on it.

The temperature rose several inches after the storm.

Are your hens laying or loafing? Make them and your pullets lay now and keep them laying all winter by giving them Pratt’s Poultry Regulator. Make the loafers lay and give you lots of eggs now and require less feed to save on the cost.

In Chestertown, Ambrose Waddell has traded horses with Percy Bruce. Both parties express themselves as being satisfied.

James Culver has driven a Glassbrook steamer 15,995 miles, to date this season, mostly between Chestertown and Warrensburgh.

Thought for the day – A new way to catch fools has been invented. John Doe, of Warrensburgh, responded to an advertisement in a matrimonial journal promising to send the name of his future wife for ten cents and the reply came promptly…”Mrs. John Doe.” Readers are welcome to contact Adirondack Journal correspondent Jean Hadden at jhadden1@nycap.rr.com or 623-2210

Letters to the Editor

Now a ‘great democracy’ To the Adirondack Journal: I agree with your editorial, except for the last part. America was founded as a republic, and ceased to be one in 1923. Now we are a “great democracy.” The world’s first republic, Rome, thought of democracy as “mob rule” or those least qualified to vote intelligently having majority power. As head of the senate, Caesar gave the vote to all Romans and made many promises.

They voted him Emperor, and his first imperial act was to take. their vote away. Franklin and Jefferson were afraid of democracy getting out of control in our new country and wrote about their concerns. Their fears were well placed if one looks at what democracy today. Our political process is driven by bribes disguised as contributions to candidates. All the information on candidates is controlled by a biased media that is well aware of the power it has. Voters are reduced to little more than messengers carrying out the wishes of those who control the media. In NewYork the voting process is controled by a bipartisan effort that makes independant change impossible. Those who truly understand these conditions and know what the real issues are constitute one tenth of one percent. If they vote, it is nothing more than an unnoticed gesture. The system has become un stoppable.

It will never give the country back. I do not vote, but I can see the problems and I will complain about them if I want. That is my right which has diminished some in my life. I usually am offered no candidates to vote for in this environment. That never changes and the system offers no means to change that. So I don’t vote. If voting in this country started to turn around this state of affairs there would be an executive order to stop that trend.

Jeff MacMakin, Putnam

Editorial far from misleading To the Editor: The Valley News editorial “Nonprofits: Should they pay their

fair share?” was simply asking a question: Should all nonprofits be exempt from paying their fair share of taxes?

Historically, churches, schools, etc., have received nonprofit exemption. But, over the years, other organizations have sought and also received nonprofit exemption.

To me, the question is why these organizations (other than churches, schools, etc.) should be exempt and raise the tax burden onto others?

These organizations may argue that they provide jobs and add to the economy, but so does the working mother and father trying to raise a family — sometimes working additional jobs just to pay their taxes.

Who is more entitled to tax relief than those parents? Or, in addition, seniors who have worked their entire lives and paid taxes their entire lives.

In conclusion, there should be further discussion, re: nonprofits, so the tax burden doesn’t just lie on the overburdened few, but, in fact, be a system where all “pay their fair share” or everincreasing taxes.

agnosed with diabetes are at a higher risk for kidney disease, blindness, and circulatory complications leading to amputations.

The 2014 Surgeon General’s report – The Health Consequences of Smoking - 50 Years of Progress – concludes that smoking is a cause of type 2 diabetes and that the risk of developing diabetes is 30-40% higher for active smokers than non-smokers. Although it is difficult to predict which smokers will develop type 2 diabetes, the risks are such that all smokers should be encouraged to quit. The benefits of quitting are significant: better control of blood sugar levels, lower doses of insulin needed to control blood sugar, and a reduced risk of suffering from the negative effects of uncontrolled diabetes.

Given that the Great American Smokeout also occurs each November, it is only fitting to highlight the relationship between these two devastating chronic conditions and remind everyone that resources to quit smoking are available from their health care provider and the NYS Smokers’ Quitline at 1-866-NY-QUITS (1-866-697-8487), on-line at www.nysmokefree.com.

National diabetes month

Letter Guidelines

To the Adirondac Journal: November is National Diabetes Month. Dedicating a month to diabetes helps raise awareness of the issues surrounding the disease and of the many people impacted by it. In New York State, diabetes prevalence is approaching 9%, but estimates indicate one in three Americans over the age of 20 is at risk for developing the condition. Addressing factors that increase the risk for diabetes is important for maintaining overall health. Commonly known risk factors for diabetes are being too heavy and not being active. Many people don’t know, however, that smoking is an independent risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes.

Previous Surgeon General’s reports have found that smoking makes controlling diabetes more difficult and that smokers di-

“Every vote I take I will ask myself one question, will this help the residents of the North Country?

“Aaron and Matt were both gracious and I expressed my appreciation to them for their hard-fought races,” she continued. “You get to know your opponents well and get to know they are very good people.”

Stefanik pledged to cross the aisle: “I will work hard everyday to earn your respect and your trust, and hopefully your support.”

Following Stefanik’s speech, National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Greg Walden congratulated the candidate.

“Elise Stefanik spent her campaign outworking her opponents and traveling from one end to the other of one of the country’s largest congressional districts,” he said in a statement. “Elise brings a fresh perspective to Congress, and she has an extremely bright future as both a congresswoman for the North County and as a leader in the Republican Party.”

Essex County Republican Party Chairman and Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gilliland praised the outcome.

“This will mean great things for the district,” said Gillilland, who recently took over the party helm from long-time chair Ron Jackson.

“When you think of a freshman congresswoman going to Washington with so much horsepower behind her already, it can only mean good things.”

Gillilland said in the time he has known Stefanik in his position as Willsboro’s chief administrator she has been willing to listen.

“This is good for the county and for the district,” he said.

State Sen. Betty Little echoed those thoughts: “It’s so exciting to get this district back into the R, Republican column,” she said.

WOOLF CONCEDES In an emotional concession speech at the Cobble Hill Inn in Elizabethtown, Woolf emphasized the theme of family and bipartisanship.

“I loved being your candidate,” he said behind a backdrop of supporters. “The most salient thing for me about this race was a better understanding of those shared values.

And I still believe those are the values the North Country needs and demands.”

Woolf said he spoke with

his two opponents prior to conceding.

Elise Stefanik, he said, assured him she would bring the values of bipartisanship and working together to Washington.

“I may not being going to Washington this time,” he said. “But I will continue to do what I’ve been doing as a citizen.”

He once again thanked his family and volunteers for making the experience of running for Congress one of the most rewarding and enriching in his life.

“While we fell short of our goal, I am proud of what we accomplished and appreciate every vote, phone call, and door knock on my behalf.

When citizens volunteer for their beliefs, it is the best part of our political process, and I am humbled to have been a part of it.”

He ended with a bit of levity.

“Alright, now let’s go have a chicken wing.”

FUNICIELLO CONCEDES Surrounded by his friends in his Rock Hill Bakehouse Cafe in Glens Falls, Funiciello said that polling more votes than Aaron Woolf as a Democrat in Warren County did was a meaningful accomplishment likely to have substantial consequences in the future.

“This is really a phenomenal victory for people in the middle- and working classes,” he said to the cheers of his supporters. “We definitely stood up and let the two corporate parties know that we terribly resent their repeated attempts to buy our Congressional seat.”

He said he was proud of his campaign workers who spread the word of his principles without spending the huge sums the Democratic and Republican parties did.

“With only a shoestring budget, we have had a massive impact on this election, and we will build from this foundation!”

Shortly after polls closed at 9 p.m, results from the district’s 12 counties began rolling in.

Stefanik bested Woolf in her stronghold of support, Fulton, Saratoga, Warren and Washington counties, drawing in victory in wide margins.

Woolf eked out narrow victories in two counties: Clinton by five points, Essex by two.

In Warren County, Funiciello drew 24.9 percent of the total vote.

Tri-Lakes

Continued from page 1 The Tri-Lakes Business Alliance, established in 2012, has been working towards the same goals that most business alliances strive to achieve. Planning for tourism, community celebrations, improving local signage and topics involving commerce are all addressed at the TLBA meetings.

The community is invited to all TLBA meetings, which occur every other Friday at 9 a.m. at the Panther Mountain Inn, where they can listen to as well as join in on the conversation about how the alliance is working to improve these towns.

Business alliances have several costs to keep up with in order to keep the organization afloat: insurance, advertising and signage, all must be addressed in order to maintain annual community events. The Tri-Lakes Business Alliance will be holding their fundraiser in order to help offset these costs.

Tickets for the event will be $20 and will include a craft beer tasting by Saratoga Eagle and a wine tasting by Wildman accompanied with live entertainment by Jonathan Newell. All proceeds from the event will benefit TLBA and their endeavors for the upcoming year.

Current projects include getting a digital sign for the North Warren Chamber of Commerce building to advertise local events, a new “Woof Stock Festival,” to be held in June, and a “Radiator Springs” weekend next October for the kids and families of the area.

A friendly warning

He is a retired corrections administrator and is very active in RSVP (Retired Seniors Volunteer Program). Harold has four other sons and will keep on trying to win kayaks for them in the Society’s future raffles.
