Biomass in Chester may serve as demo
This Week BUSINESS
By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com
CHESTERTOWN Ñ Despite delays in funding, the project to convert the Chester Municipal Center to biomass heating is moving ahead, town supervisor Fred Monroe told municipal officials this week. Officials from the New York State Energy Research & Development Authority and their engineers were at the municipal center, examining the heating system, gathering information so they could develop preliminary design criteria for a biomass heating system theyÕ d provide funds for, Monroe said Nov. 18. NYSERDA officials seek to have the expansive Chester Municipal Center serve as statewide demonstration project, showcasing high-efficiency biomass heating in a governmental building, Monroe said. Monroe said that the NYSERDA representatives were seeking to evaluate the heating requirements of the building Ñ and how the stateÕ s existing engineering prerequisites for state funding might be adjusted to accommodate biomass fuel for an existing steam heating system.

HOMER Ñ The Bolton-Warrensburg girls soccer team’s 2014 season, which set new records for both schools — came to an end Saturday Nov. 15 as they lost a Class D state championship semifinal game 0-4 to Arkport Central, a team with substantial experience in state-tournament play. The frigid battle was waged on a field that was
covered in snow for the first two-thirds of the game. The game was held at Homer High School near Cortland, NY. Bolton-Warrensburg girls soccer coach Patrick Morency didn’t blame the weather, however. “Both teams practiced on a snow-covered field,” he said moments after the loss. Ò We struggled technically, whether it was ball control connecting on passes or exploiting the spac-
es,” he added, noting that the soccer ball skids over snowy surfaces. The ball control and score was even until midway through the first half when Arkport’s Korin Kilbury scored the first goal. Not long after, Bolton-Warrensburg standout Olivia Seamans was sidelined due to a cramp in her leg. CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

Prizes, giveaways featured in Wbg.’s holiday shopping event By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ Next Saturday, many people will be headed for area malls and big-box stores, swamped with frenzied holiday shoppers — but others will be taking a more stress-free approach, browsing through wares at local stores. In Warrensburg on Nov. 29, hundreds of shoppers will be participating in Buy Lo-
cal Day, which features special discounts, giveaways and coupons offered by dozens of businesses. The promotion — held to introduce residents and visitors of the region to the holiday shopping opportunities in town Ñ was a resounding success in last year’s debut. Buy Local Day, set for 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., involves about 50 businesses, a substantial increase from last year. Shoppers will be stopping in at participating enterprises Ñ designated by an orange sign — where they pick up a “Shop Warrensburg” tote, which contains a map of all the participating retailers. At each store, shoppers can collect a raffle ticket which can be used to bid on various gift packages and gift certificates offered in a silent auction scheduled to start at 4 p.m. in George HenryÕ s tavern on Main St.. Stores participating in the
event offer a wide variety of goods and services: from home decor to hardware; and from western wear to farm and garden supplies. Also involved will be gift shops, art galleries, antique shops and a highfashion outlet, auto repair enterprises, two floral boutiques, hair salons, a new thrift shop, two pizza parlors and two liquor stores. Also, the Warrensburg Museum of Local History will be conducting tours, while offering discounts on books. In addition, Abanakee Wellness Therapies & Counseling at 3831 Main St. will be introducing their various services, with massage and acupuncture. The day also features a live broadcast from 10 a.m. to noon from the town hall by everpopular WCKM 98.5 deejay Lee Pecue. Shoppers conclude their day by a 4 p.m. deadline, stopping
off at George HenryÕ s tavern, where they bid on the gifts with their raffle tickets, while enjoying live music. George HenryÕ s will be offering a special menu for the event, sponsored by both the Greater Warrensburg Business Alliance and the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce. Linda Marcella, one of the event organizers, said that local independently owned businesses are more likely to have unique gifts, unlike the mass-produced items in the big-box stores. She also said that buying from Warrensburg enterprises is an investment in local jobs and a way to make our community vibrant and retain its distinctive character and charm. Ò Buy Local Day is all about keeping our disposable dollars local, in our community,” she said. “Also, local businesses offer more comprehensive, personalized services.”
‘Shop Local’ event set for Bolton businesses By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com BOLTON LANDING Ñ Various Bolton businesses are collaborating to offer residents and visitors the opportunity to enjoy some charming hometown ambiance and pleasant socializing while they shop for holiday gifts. Eight local stores will be hosting the townÕ s annual Shop Local initiative, featuring open houses to be held over two weekends.

On that date, American Express is rewarding their card holders Ñ who pre-register for the promotion Ñ up to $30 total credit when they spend $10 or more at local businesses. “Avoid the crowds on Nov. 29, spend the day shopping in Bolton Landing for unique holiday

The Shop Local celebration will continue with a second open house hosted by Bolton Landing merchants Dec. 6. For details, contact the Bolton Landing Chamber of Commerce at 644-3831.
New ‘Woofstock’ music fest plans progressing By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN Ñ Momentum is building for a festival in northern Warren County celebrating 1960s culture, focusing on dogs and featuring classic rock and roll. Plans are moving forward for “Woofstock 2015,” which has been envisioned as a fun weekend getaway for dogs, their owners and families, that is expected to draw hundreds, if not thousands of people to the area. The festival is set for June 20 through June 21, with outdoor events primarily taking place on the field behind Main St. Ice Cream Parlor. Indoor events and attractions of Woofstock 15 — billed as “a day of peace, paws and music” — are to be held at other nearby venues. A concert of 1960s music — featuring some of the selections performed at the original Woodstock festival — is to be held at the Carol Theater in downtown Chestertown. The Tri-Lakes Business Alliance — which has launched a variety of events with remarkable success — is sponsoring the event, and the group has applied for $15,000 from Warren County for the event’s promotion. In recent years, more than a half-dozen “Woofstock” events have been held across the U.S., drawing thousands of people from hundreds of miles away. These events have generated substantial income for their host communities, while providing a lot of fun for visitors and residents alike, according to news reports. In Toronto Canada, Woofstock annually attracts 300,000 people accompanied by 80,000 dogs. Mead said she intends for the Chestertown edition to be only a fraction of this size. Present plans for Chestertown’s Woofstock 2015 to include diving dogs, lure-chasing dogs which might include some open races, Frisbee-catching contests for dogs, a My Dog Has Talent show, and other activities — as well as vendors. Cindy Mead of the Business Alliance said Nov. 17 that an invitation has been hand-delivered to Rachael Ray to be a judge at the dog talent competition. Mead said she has reached out to various dog-related organizations, and the response has been encouraging. “Everyone is absolutely enthusiastic about our plans,” she said.

Soccer
Continued from page 1 She rejoined the game a minute or so into the second half, and Bolton-Warrensburg seemed to keep the ball primarily in their side of the field — but Arkport followed up with a goal by Cassidy HawleyÕ s second-half goal, followed by two late goals by Amanda Swarts that put the game out of reach for BoltonWarrensburg. At the end of the loss, the Bolton-Warrensburg players held hands, forming a line and ran across the field as a tribute to their fans, who cheered them for their accomplishment in reaching the state semifinals — the first time ever for Bolton in any sport, and the first time for WarrensburgÕ s soccer program. “We still love you,” the fans chanted. Morency watched the gesture and listened to their cheers. Ò It feels really good to be competing in the state tournament,” he said. “I’m really proud of our kids, and they have no regrets.” During the team’s 18-3 season, theyÕ d overcome a slew of talented teams, and set a num-

Morency said that this 2014 team’s remarkable accomplishments would serve as a catalyst for the future of the joint Bolton-Warrensburg soccer program. There’s a lot to take away from this seasonÕ s experiences,” he said. The positive effects will be starting in 2015, he added. Ò We have a lot of talent, and our athletes will be building on what they’ve learned,” he said, noting that nearly all his players Ñ minus two graduating top athletes Ñ will be returning for 2015. Graduating in June will be Olivia Seamans, who is the all-time top soccer scorer at Bolton and a member of a national champion travel team; and Sarah Calzada, who received the state semifinal Sportsmanship Award at the game’s conclusion. Arkport assistant coach Kate Crowell praised the Bolton-Warrensburg team and the talents and determination of the players, particularly Olivia Seamans. Ò B o l t o n - Wa r r e n s b u r g Õ s leading scorer is a tough threat,” she said. Arkport has
been to the state tournament eight times in the last 15 years, and they won the state championship in 2006 and 2009. Morency predicted that Bolton-Warrensburg advancing to the state tournament this year will likely increase future participation in the sport by inspiring young athletes to join the team Ñ particularly in Warrensburg, which has never fielded its own girls soccer team. Ò IÕ m hoping that our communities can capitalize on this,” Morency said. At the side of the field, Warrensburg Central Athletic Director Scott Smith offered his thoughts. Ò ItÕ s been such an exciting season with so many ‘firsts’,” he said. “Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come.” LEFT: Players on the BoltonWarrensburg Girls Soccer Team conduct ‘warm up’ drills before their state tournament semifinal showdown Nov. 15 against Arkport.

Acupuncturist Dowd offers services in Warrensburg area By Maggie Morgan
maggie@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ Maureen Dowd MA, MS has been a practicing acupuncturist for 14 years and also offers her expertise in Chinese Herbal Remedies, Reiki, and Metaphysical Guidance. Dowd has now brought her healing hands to Abanakee on WarrensburgÕ s Main Street, practicing there on Tuesdays and Thursdays while working in Johnstown on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. by appointment ($65 a session), Dowd thinks that she might have the secret to wellbeing inside her teeny, tiny needles. Dowd believes in what she does not only because she has seen it work first hand, but it is an art that is over 5,000 years old. During the four year program it takes to receive a degree in Oriental Medicine, students learn exactly how the body responds to different flows and blockages of energy. Dowd said “qi” has much to do with how we feel physically and pain, whether it is emotional or physical, is often connected to channeling the correct “meridians” to correct energy flow. Acupuncture is a natural alternative to taking pain killers, anti-depressants or even over-the-counter cold medicines. Dowd makes a good point in saying traditional approaches to sickness and pain sometimes only block the feeling and don’t address it at the root. The acupuncturist believes this ancient medical process allows patients to directly combat what it is they are feeling, at-
tacking the problem at its core instead of covering it up. After years in the business Dowd knows this is what she was meant to do. She doesn’t just think that it helps those suffering from chronic physical or emotional pain, but she is a firm believer that acupuncture, especially in conjunction with bio-medicine, is an effective approach to overall wellness. Dowd said she encourages her clients to make at least three visits in order to see results and consider if acupuncture is right for them. If their reports don’t seem like they are responding to the process, Dowd said she will discontinue service because it is not for everyone and makes itself clear when it is not working. She has several clients who come every two weeks, every four weeks, or every eight weeks in order to achieve the aforementioned feeling of, “overall well-being.” For some people, acupuncture is like getting a massage and for others it is used as a natural form of pain relief. Dowd surveys her clients on what they are feeling and what is causing them pain and then is able to place the needles, which are virtually painless, into corresponding “meridians” that will address the concerns that individual patients have. For more information on Dowd and her services, call 518-2905113.

WARRENSBURG Ñ Tina Combs, owner of the trendy clothing store Runway 67, has already broken in the store’s new location at 3982 Main Street in Warrensburg. On Nov. 14, at 6 p.m., Combs held a soiree that had the main ingredients to any perfect girls’ night: 1. fashion tips 2. food and wine 3. sales on designer clothing. Runway 67, previously located at 3897 Main Street, made a small move down the street on Nov. 1 to make way for some big changes. The new location is spacious and fitting for a boutique-like setup. The checkered flooring, open-windows, and gorgeous counter space is reminiscent of a downtown shopping experience. While listening to Combs detail the newest fashion trends, attendees can browse the countless rows of clothing behind her. GirlsÕ Night Out is part of a series that CombsÕ hosts every month and details about the event can be found on Runway 67’s Facebook page. Each installment covers a range of topics from
insider fashionista secrets to “how-to” segments that we might have always wondered about. The Nov. 14 edition of Girls’ Night Out covered layering, “how to keep your pants in your boots,” and spanning your summer wardrobe into winter. As the listening ladies sipped white wine and nibbled cheese, Combs answered questions from the audience while revealing things many of us have never thought to do. The store owner rotated several outfits on and off a mannequin displaying how to take your favorite summertime blouse and warm it up for winter wear. The next Girls’ Night Out will be tackling tons of winter wear subjects including a clinic on scarf tying. Combs didn’t want to give away all the secrets she has up her sleeve, but she did give a preview of some innovative ways to use your winter scarf including a dress and sarong! Runway 67’s grand opening will be from Friday, Nov. 21 to Sunday, Nov. 23. Saturday at 3 p.m. will also entail a ribbon cutting to commemorate the store’s new location. The grand opening extravaganza will include special discounts and pricing, which Combs noted will be a great opportunity to snag some Christmas gifts while grabbing some things for yourself as well!

Holiday kick-off fest set for Lake George Village
Heating
Continued from page 1 For several years, the Chester town board has been seeking to convert from fuel oil to biomass Ñ wood pellets or chips Ñ because itÕ s local, renewable and inexpensive; and itÕ s availability is not subject to geopolitical upheaval as fuel oil is. The town of Chester has been expecting the state to provide about 75 percent of the $210,000 cost of converting to biomass, a changeover that could save local taxpayers $18,000 or so per year, Monroe said. The average annual cost of heating fuel oil expenses in recent years for the municipal center has been about $40,000. Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s announcement in July of state grants for municipal biomass heating were accompanied by engineering regulations that called for thermal storage that wasnÕ t appropriate for steam heat — and the NYSERDA officials were in the Chester Municipal Center to see how the biomass system should be designed and how the state criteria might be changed. Monroe told the board at its monthly meeting Nov. 12 that NYSERDA officials said that the town of Chester was “well positioned” to receive a grant covering 75 percent of the cost of the heating system changeover. Already, the town has been awarded a federal grant of about $18,000 to help pay for engineering costs, he said. “I’m excited about this project,” Monroe said, noting that converting to wood as fuel created jobs in the Adirondacks as well as saving money. Also, with a high-efficiency biomass fuel installation, emissions would be reduced, he added. Already, the town of Chester has installed solar power systems at four of its facilities including the municipal center, and the system is expected to reduce the townÕ s carbon footprint while saving taxpayers more than $10,000 per year in electricity costs.

Thank you athletes!
W
ith the fall high school sports season coming to an end, we’d like to recognize some of the athletes who gave it their all in fall sports this year. In football, Peru (Class B) and Saranac Lake (Class C) picked up Section VII championships as they both rose to top-10 state rankings, each picking up a win against Section X foes on their way to regional final appearances. The Ticonderoga Sentinels claimed the Section VII Class D football title with an impressive fourth quarter win over heated rival Moriah, moving on to handily defeat Tupper Lake in the regional semifinals and trading scores with Section IIÕ s Cambridge/Salem before falling to the Indians in the Class D regional final game. Beekmantown’s Justin Stevens (and lets not forget the offensive line) set a Section VII all-time record of 1,963 rushing yards while Peru quarterback Blake Altizer found his way into the record books as well with a section-best 71 career touchdown passes. Also worth mentioning, the MayorÕ s Cup match between Saranac Lake and Tupper Lake made a return after a three-year hiatus, going the way of the Red Storm. In boys’ soccer, Chazy and Beekmantown represented their section well, traveling to Middletown where Chazy suffered a tough Class D semifinals loss in penalty kicks to International Prep while Beekmantown topped Livonia 1-0 before falling in the Class B championship game. The girlsÕ teams from those two schools made plenty of noise of their own. Both fell only one game shy of a trip to the state semifinals, though itÕ ll be a sad goodbye to a handful of senior stars from each roster, including Beekmantown senior Kallie Villemaire (31 goals, 25 assists) and Chazy senior Rachel Pombrio (22 goals, four assists). The combined Bolton/Warrensburg girls soccer team made history, advancing to the NYSPHSAA Class C Final Four in Cortland. While they were unable to bring home a victory, it was a positive first step for an emerging program between the two school districts. Speaking of combined teams, perennial powerhouse Chazy isn’t alone in Class D. The newlymerged Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport team took the Eagles to penalty kicks in the Class D final, and in the previous round, only one goal separated the Griffins from Keene. The three teams combined for a 41-11-3 record. Oh, and wait, what was that, Makenzie Winslow just scored again. The senior striker compiled 59 goals for the Minerva/Newcomb Lady Mountaineers in leading her squad to the Section VII Class D finals for the first time in either school’s collective history. Winslow, however, would not
November 22, 2014
be able to take her place on the field against Chazy, but the Lady Mountaineers proved they belonged on the field, playing an inspired game in the face of long odds and earning the respect of their opponent. In the end, Winslow finished with 122 career goals. She might want to keep her eyes on the paper in a few years, though, as sophomore Jordan Bush starts her ascent up the scoring list next season. In volleyball, Beekmantown was unstoppable. The Eagles won every league game 3-0, including the Section VII Class B title game. Lake Placid swept Northern Adirondack for a Class D crown of their own, and later that same day, AuSable Valley and Plattsburgh played one for the ages, a 3-2 nailbiter that went the way of the Patriots. Two local cross country runners finished third in their class in states at SUNY Canton Nov. 8— Seton CatholicÕ s Margaret Champagne and Plattsburgh’s Jeriqho Gadway. The Lady Knights finished a perfect 20-0 while the boys of Lake Placid raced to a 19-1 mark. The Saranac boys’ and girls’ teams were right behind, both finishing 17-3. EKMW may not have had the number of runners needed for team wins, but the Emus sent three runnersÑ Jon Gay, Tom Maron and Myra Adams—to states. Gay finished tenth overall in Class D competition. It’s a shame the secondfastest runner in Section VII qualifiers wasn’t on the All Star roster because he ran in too few dual meets. When it comes to swimming, two names come to mind. Or four, depending how you look at it. Kelly Davey, Meghan Davey, Brooke Kelley and Alexis Kelley helped Plattsburgh to a perfect season ahead of Peru, AuSable Valley and Moriah. The Patriots’ Emily McCormick kept the Hornets from going 11-for-11 at the Section VII championship while Cydney Bond and Kylei Pena (Peru) and Lydia Brown (AuSable Valley) each picked up two second-place finishes. There’s a rising star in gymnastics. Peru’s Delaney Brown, only a seventh grader, picked up six all-around wins to help cap off a perfect 6-0 season for the Indians. With a deep roster and five more years of Brown, Peru should be poised for years of success. Plattsburgh’s Madison Baker and Hannah Kaltenback, along with Beekmantown’s Kailey Quackenbush and Desiree Dashnaw, were often close behind. To the teams and players missingÑ there are many more deserving of the recognition—know that we had you in mind. Lastly, a thank you to the coaches, referees, families and fans who put their energy and support into what was an exciting season. And most of all, win or lose, to the players.

Deadly disease is rampant
After a month of inactivity, the burglars who began operations in Warrensburgh during the week of the Warren County Fair, in September, resumed their thievery Sunday night, Nov. 29, 1914 when they raided two stores in the Crandall Block downtown, E.S. Crandall’s and the New York Candy Kitchen. From the Crandall store, which carries a stock of gent’s furnishing goods, merchandise to the value of about $25 was taken. This was the second raid on the store. Four weeks ago it was entered and about $50 worth of goods was taken. The thieves went to the front door using a skeleton key to unlock it. The New York Candy Kitchen was entered through a rear door and the thieves absconded with a considerable quantity of candy and cigars. This loss is estimated to be about $10. An effort was also made to break into Morris Kugel’s dry goods store, in the same block, but it was unsuccessful. In attempting to remove a piece of glass to unlock the door, one of the thieves cut his hand and left the bloody imprint of his finger on the window. Sheriff R.J. Bolton and Under Sheriff Mac R. Smith, of Lake George, were notified of the crimes and came to Warrensburgh Monday morning, Nov. 30, 1914 to search for clues. Certain persons are under suspicion and Under Sheriff Smith, who is a cleaver sleuth, is hoping to find sufficient evidence to warrant an arrest. (Note – The beginning of this strange unsolved crime wave story was told in this column in the Aug. 30, 2014 Adirondack Journal. The three story Crandall block was across the street from the Church of the Holy Cross and the church was next door north of Emerson Crandall’s house. It seems that the bumbling burglars were looking more for food than endeavoring to make them selves rich as they only stole trifling amounts of money and objects of little value. It was speculated by some people at the time the burglars might be itinerant “gypsies” traveling the fair circuit.)
A rigid quarantine is currently in effect to fight hoof- andmouth disease in cattle and the state and nation are exhausting every resource to combat the dreaded disease which is already causing large losses in widely separated sections of the country. The disease, which is known by veterinary science as aphthous fever is an acute infection and highly contagious disease affecting cloven footed animals. It is characterized by blistering inside the mouth and in the cleft of the hooves. It occurs most frequently among cattle, sheep, goats and swine and in some rare occurrences has occurred in horses. The disease is also transmissible to man. The disease is an old one, originating in the far east.
Sig Sautelle bankrupted
Touring car catches fire
George C. Satterlee, of Homer, Cortland County, better known as Sig Sautelle, a native of Fort Edward and for many years a successful circus proprietor, Monday, Nov. 30, 1914, filed a petition in bankruptcy in the United States Court in Utica, listing unsettled liabilities of $33,103 and nominal assets of $3,815. His fifty creditors are scattered. All that is left of his circus property is a spotted horse and a mule. A few years ago Sig was the sole owner of a twenty-car railroad show and was probably worth $50,000. (Note – Sig Sautelle was born Sept. 22, 1848 in Luzerne, the son of a shoemaker. He started out as a magician, ventriloquist and puppeteer. In the years preceding World War 1, he was the P.T. Barnum of his day in the northeast. He was married to Ida Belle Sautelle and her illness forced him into bankruptcy. She died in 1916. Sig Sautelle, 66, died June 21, 1928. On Aug. 22, 1901 Sautelle’s circus left its mark on Warrensburgh when Adolf Lorraine, 26, a member of the circus crew drove a wagon off the road near North Creek, hit his head and died. Lorraine is buried in an unmarked location in the Warrensburg Cemetery. I have never been able to discover the exact whereabouts of that long forgotten grave.)
Man dead in the road
W.R. Bowers, of Sharon Springs, an optometrist, who for several years has traveled through the northern section, was found dead in the road between Lewey and Mason lakes, near Indian Lake, Thursday afternoon, Nov. 19, 1914 at 5 o’clock. The coro-
Frozen ground, no coat, no shoes
On Saturday morning, about 7 o’clock, there came into the village of Pottersville, a man, probably a Polander, from the direction of Riverside, with no coat, bare headed and barefooted, walking rapidly on the ice and frozen ground. He stopped at the Wells House where he was given shoes, hat and coat and food and he then went on his way. People in the town here believe him to be an escaped convict.
Snow makes an appearance
The first real storm of the season came Tuesday night, Nov. 17, 1914 hereabouts. There was about fourteen inches of snow in Riparius, thirteen inches at Bakers Mills, a foot was reported at Newcomb and Minerva, four inches at Pottersville, while about an inch fell on Warrensburgh. The water in Smith Brook, Diamond Point, is getting very low, a great deal of rain is needed to give an adequate supply for the winter.
J.H. Sturdevan’s five passenger Ford touring car was destroyed by fire Friday afternoon, on the Lake George Road, near High Point Tavern, while Mr. Sturdevan was returning from a trip to Bolton accompanied by his chauffeur, Loran Hoffman. The fire started from a back fire in the carburetor. The loss is covered by insurance. (Note - James Henry Sturdevan was born in Corinth in 1865 and came here about 1904 to enter into the Bakery business. He later owned the Queen Village Bakery at the foot of Elm Street. The building is today Riverside Gallery. His employee, Loran Hoffman married his daughter, Gertrude Sturdevan who died in 1928 of childbirth, at the birth of their son, William “Billy” Hoffman. Loran and his second wife, Ida Mae Nestle operated the Queen Village Bakery until 1972 when they sold it to Mervin Hadden. Lenore Smith bought the building in 1976. One of my fondest memories is of “Mickey,” Ida’s big white, long haired cat sleeping daily in the sunny front window.)
More fires on Green Island
The boat house on J.B. Simpson’s property at Bolton Landing, situated on Green Island, was destroyed by fire Monday evening, Nov. 23, 1914 with three boats that were in it, the Calypso, owned by Mr. Simpson and the Katrina, owned by C.E. Wilson, which were both steam yachts and a gasoline launch, the property of John Traver. The total loss was about $4,000, partly covered by insurance. The fire broke out about 7 o’clock in the evening
and the cause is unknown. (Note – The second Sagamore Hotel, which had stood on Green Island for twenty years, burned on Easter morning, 1914, with a loss of more than $350,000. John Boulton Simpson was one of the “cottage” holders on the island and a heavy stockholder in the Green Island Improvement Company.)
Lumbering accident
Walter Hill, while lumbering at his wood lot Saturday afternoon, on Harrington Hill, Warrensburgh, was struck on the head by the limb of a tree he was felling and was thrown violently to the ground with a deep cut in his forehead. Although greatly weakened by the loss of blood, he was able to walk to the office of Dr. J.M. Griffin, who dressed the wound.
News near and far
Harry Thurston, of Landon Hill, Pottersville, succeeded in raising a large flock of turkeys this summer, but they died off rapidly of some mysterious disease and he is afraid he will loose them all. In Pottersville, Mabel Griswold, holding a hot flat iron in one hand and with the other pouring water on it to cool it, burned the fingers of her left hand badly in the steam. In other news, Paul Higley and his bride of two weeks, who was Miss Mary Agard, are living in the flat above the old Codman store in Pottersville, which is now owned by Earl Flint. Peter Baker has moved his family from the house owned by Philetus Smith into the Swan house in South Horicon. Arthur Lyle, proprietor of the Half-Way House, at French Mountain, shot a 330 pound buck near Carson’s in the Boreas River region. Mr. Lyle says it is the largest deer shot in the Adirondacks this season. (Note – The Half-Way House once stood facing route 149, the Fort Ann Road in Queensbury.) The remains of Charles Hayes, of Bolton, were brought to South Horicon for burial. On Nov. 21, 1914, Mr. Walter Barton became the happy mother of a daughter. A son was born to Mrs. Burt Dutcher in Adirondack. It was just nine years ago, Nov. 13, 1905 that the famous Crosbyside Hotel, on Lake George, burned to the ground. The new Christian Assembly Tabernacle of God is being constructed on River Street, Warrensburgh. At his store in Warrensburgh, Harry Lavine is conducting his “Great Bloody War Sale,” and is selling men’s corduroy pants, made at the local Warrensburgh Pants Factory, Milton Avenue, slightly second quality, which regularly sell for $2 to $3, for only $1.29 a pair. Men’s ribbed union suits, heavy quality for working in the woods, are on sale for 73 cents a pair. P.H. Donovan has moved his family to Warrensburgh from Friends Lake. They are occupying Mrs. Amelia Gates house on Hudson Street. In Thurman, Charles Ingraham has bought Lewis Moon’s bay mare for $153. Edward Duane, of Chestertown, traded his rather small bay horse with a peddler for a large gray horse and a $50 bonus and says he is more than satisfied with the transaction. A notice in a 1910 newspaper says, “What we should do without the little machine that serves us so faithfully I do not know. The typewriter is limited to business purposes. It can not be used for personal letters, love letters, or letters of an intimate, personal or confidential character. The first requisites for letters are pens, ink and paper.” (Note – It is hard to imagine that something as commonplace as a typewriter, once so important to modern society and every day living, has almost ceased to exist.)

Letters to the Editor
Editorial appreciated
To the Adirondack Journal: Thanks for the article on the need of a viable third party, The Green Party (GP) has participated in New York state politics for several years but it hasn’t been easy. To get on the ballot in New York, a party need thousands of signatures according to its enrollment. To stay on the ballot, a party has to get at least 50,000 votes for its gubertatorial candidate. This is no problem for the Democrats and Republicans who have huge resources but it is for an independent party like the Green Party that refuses to accept money from corporations or PACÕ s and refuses to enter into fusion with the two major parties or tneir satellites like the Working Families Party (WFP). Also the two major parties have inserted tneir duopoly into the NYS Constitution by setting up a Board of Elections that only they can administer and hire workers who must be registered in either party! The New York City Board of Elections is especially partial to this duopoly. Its ballot understandably reserves the first two columns exclusively for their candidates but comprises third party columns by co-mingling other candidates who are not connected with these third parties in their columns. For example, Cuomo and Hochul, running on the “Women Equality Party” appeared on the Green Party column. This created much confusion and invalidated the ballot if a voter mistakenly voted for the all of the candidates in the GP column. Although the GP candidate for Governor, Hawkins, did increase hns vote total from the the previous gubernatorial election in 2010, he was polling 9 percent just before the election but received only 5 percent of the vote, a drop of 45 percent. Cuomo who appeared on four columns was polling about the same as his vote-54 percent and Astorino who appeared on three columns was polling at 33 percent and received a vote of 41 percent. Other party vote totals such as the Libertarian and the WFP decreased markedly from the previous gubernatorial election in 2010. I believe the NYC Board of Elections violated the civil rights of those who wanted to vote for a third party by setting up a confusing ballot that suppressed their votes. Tom Siracuse Chair of the New York County Green Party
Editorial a ‘slap in the face’ to hospice
To the Adirondack Journal: I was dismayed at a sentence in the Editorial BoardÕ s piece on Death with Dignity in which it was stated that Brittany Maynard Ò read about radiation and hospice care but found both options to be even more terrifying.” I understood Ms. Maynard’s determination to make her own decision to end her life on her terms before she was incapacitated and debilitated by her illness. I do not recall reading anything about her being terrified by the thought of hospice. I have been a hospice volunteer for many years and the goal of hospice is just what Ms. Maynard wanted: it’s about living each day, enhancing the quality of life and preserving the dignity of the terminally ill. I do not fault Ms. Maynard’s decision, but I find the comment in the Valley News to be a slap in the face to the hospice movement. I suggest your Editorial Board read a recent article in the New York Times on Oct. 5, 2014, entitled “The Best Possible Day.” In the article, Dr. Atul Gawande describes how a hospice team enabled a patient to live her last days exactly as she wanted, allowing her The Best Possible Day she could imagine. ThatÕ s what hospice is all about and there is nothing Ò terrifying” about it. Colleen M. Van Hoven, Ph.D. Volunteer with High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation
No free will with tax-exempt status
To the Adirondack Journal: Citizens of the USA are known, world-wide, as people who donate to those in need. In the War Revenue Act of 1917, Congress gave income taxpayers the privilege of deducting charitable contributions to nonprofits that met criteria established by the Internal Revenue Service and ap-
proved by Congress. The intent of the law was to encourage citizens to continue to freely donate to charities. It is important to note that there is no penalty for not donating to charities or nonprofits. Federal income tax exemptions for charitable organizations were first codified in 1894 and have been adjusted many times since. The Code includes the criteria for an income tax exemption and certain prohibitions such as a prohibition against lobbying. The several states adopted the income tax-exempt concept for nonprofits, but at some point, added an exemption for real estate (property) taxes. Unlike the Federal income tax exemption, which encourages giving freely to the charities of oneÕ s choice, the real estate tax exemption forces all non-exempt land holders to pay the taxes for the nonprofits. There is no free will. Worse, there is a severe penalty for not “donating” to all of the nonprofits in Essex County. The County will take the property away from the owner and sell it. All the talk about jobs, good deeds done by nonprofits, and so on, does not justify forcing real property owners to contribute to organizations, many of which are against their beliefs, at the point of the tax sale gun so that they can remain in the homes. Gordon E. Howard, Keeseville

Anniversaries
Fay and Morgan Crandall Fay and Morgan Crandall of Warrensburg celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary with a gathering of many friends and family members on Sunday, Sept. 7. The celebration was hosted in Warrensburg by their son Larry and wife Lynn, their daughter Linda and husband Bill, grandchildren, Nikki, Ron, Laure, Carrie, Chris and 5 great grandchildren.

Daring Divers take on the 8th annual Special Olympics Polar Plunge
Polar-plungers quickly exit the freezing water as supporters strewn across Shepard’s Park cheer them on. Photo by Maggie Morgan
By Maggie Morgan
maggie@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Nearly 500 brave swimmers took on the 39 degree ice-cold Lake George Nov. 15 at 1 p.m., as the thickskinned participants got crazy for a cause as they went for a swim during a peculiar time of year in the Lake George Polar Plunge. Some swimmers went head-first while others tip-toed into the water, but no matter their style they were raising money during their dips. Speedos, snowmen and superwomen
were just some of the attire these polar bears sported, making the event an even more entertaining spectator sport. The Special Olympics Polar Plunge New York has 16 participating cities whose plunges commence during the coldest of New York’s months, the final installment being held in April 2015. This year, the overall goal is to hit $1 million and after the Lake George plunge, with an approximate $75,000 contribution, they seem to be well on their way. Each year, the event gathers hundreds of volunteers who get friends, family, and coworkers on board to sponsor them and support the cause. Certain teams commit to the frosty dip to support their very own special olympian while others have individually chosen to support the cause. Some donning whacky costumes and others sporting their team gear, the event has become a seasonal tradition for many people, garnering more attention each and every year. The plunge, beginning at 9 a.m., had the streets of Lake George Village bustling like it was summertime again, with spectators and participants alike buzzing with excitement. The windy weather and cold waters didnÕ t stop people from having fun while raising awareness. A DJ inside the ShepardÕ s Park stage set off funky tunes to keep the soaking wet swimmers moving. Duffy’s Tavern registered participants and served hot food specials and cold drinks to fuel up the divers pre and post plunge. Friends, family, and supportive neighborhood onlookers took over the beach, waiting to cover up their polar bears with towels and blankets. The Special Olympics, founded in 1968, provides those with intellectual disabilities an opportunity to train and compete in an array of Olympic-type sports. The organization empowers every individual to chase their dreams and to never stop setting goals. Profits from the Polar Plunge NY events are part of an even bigger fundraiser that encompasses states across the U.S., all working to raise money for the philanthropic organization. The polar plunges raise millions of dollars to fund the Special Olympics, each year trumping the last. To find out more plunge locations, donate to the cause, or for more information visit polarplungeny.org.
