MINERVA | On a Thursday morning in October, Frank Casazza, 92, and fellow American Legion member Ken Cannan got into Cannan’s truck and drove 25 miles from Indian Lake to Minerva to visit Greg’s Barbershop. Indian Lake does not have a barber, Casazza said, and a beauty salon in Warrensburg wanted him to make an appointments. Instead, the guys from the American Legion go to the barbershop of Greg Fresca. » Barbershop Cont. on pg. 17

» Pastor Cont. from pg. 1 By Christopher South STA FF W RITER

BOLTON | For Pastor Scott Matthews, taking a 211-year-old church and converting it into a modern, technology-driven church that is part of the fabric of the community, well, it’s just part of the mission of the church, as he sees it. Started in 1806, the Bolton Community Church has long been a figure in the community, being located just behind the veterans memorial on Route 9 in downtown Bolton Landing. However, the community is not used to seeing the church open after Labor Day. “I had a woman come in who had just had a car accident, and she asked, ‘Are you open?’” Matthews said. He told her the church was indeed open, and she could use the church building for as long as she needed.

“I want people to know the church is alive,” Matthews said. Originally from Maine, Matthews, 41, attended the Word of Life Bible Institute, and worked as an off-campus pastor as part of the WOLBI Student Life department. Only two months ago, he arrived at the Bolton Community Church as a missionary pastor. He said he is the first pastor in there decades to live in the parsonage, located next door to the church. One of the first things he did was get rid of the ancient organ. “The thing was a fire hazard,” he said. Matthews said he couldn’t find anyone who wanted it, so it still sits in another part of the church. Instead of the organ, the church now has a ministry team of seven people who provide music using piano, guitar, and a cajon - a box-shaped percussion instrument. Matthews also hung a large-screen TV in the sanctuary, which is programmed with

Scott Matthews speaks on the phone outside the Bolton Community Church where he is pastor. Matthews is trying to move the 1806 church into the 21st century, adding new technology and programs. Photos by Christopher South apps and the ability to use power point presentations during his preaching. The TV and related technology are also things he hopes to use to draw people to the church. During one of his Wednesday night prayer meetings, he said two people walked in the door from the Sagamore Hotel, saying they were surprised the church was open. At one point, he was talking to the man, who suggested they start using the TV to watch Thursday night football. “So now we watch football on Thursday night and talk about God,” Matthews said. Matthews also would like to establish a family-friendly video game competition - such as with video football. He said he would like to have other programs to assist kids in the community, such as an after school program where they could get homework help and

pass the time in a safe environment. Matthews said safety is a big key when dealing with the public these days. He said a representative from the sheriff’s department is going to come to the church and talk to them about active shooter situations. “It’s just a fact of life in the world we live in,” he said. Matthews said the church used to have more community involvement, such as quilting, sewing, or baking groups, and he would like to bring some of that back. He would also like to have a food pantry, veterans Bible study, and whatever else the church can provide for the community. “The real key is we want to be part of the community - to be the light in a dark world,” he said. The Bolton Community Church is located at 5 Horicon Ave., in Bolton Landing. For more information, call (518) 644-9103. ■

Biomass boiler fired up in preparation for ribbon cutting Boiler will burn hardwood pellets produced in New York State By Christopher South STA FF W RITER

CHESTERTOWN | Representatives from various firms were in Chestertown on Nov. 16 to test fire a new wood pellet burning boiler installed in the former coal room in the basement of Chester Town Hall. Supervisor Craig Leggett said an open house and ribbon cutting for the new boiler is scheduled for Nov. 29, and technicians and consultants were getting the system up and running in preparation to go online as the primary boiler system. The idea of installing a biomass boiler, which will burn premium hardwood pellets instead of oil, started in 2012 with former supervisor Fred Monroe. Construction converting the former coal room has been going on over the course of the year. The new biomass boiler has been linked into the current steam heat system, which operated with a oil-fueled boiler.

The new unit will become the primary heat source for Town Hall, with the oil unit becoming the backup. Leggett said the installation of the biomass boiler is an about $640,000 project, with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) providing a $400,000 grant, with an additional $20,000 being supplied by the USDA. The remaining amount will be bonded over 17 years. “The bond payment will be equal to the estimated energy cost savings,” Leggett said. The boiler is a demonstration project, since it is the first time a biomass boiler has been linked to a steam accumulator, which stores heat to be distributed through the building via a lower-pressure steam system. Khaled Yousef, principal energy engineer from Pyramid Energy Engineering Services out of Albany, said the system is a high efficiency, low emission, or HELE system. “Typically, with a biomass emissions system the emissions are higher than gaseous or liquid fuels,” Yousef said. Yousef will collect data from the system over the next year and analyze the results. The two-stage gasification system ensures the burning of pyrolytic gases in the pellets, and a device known as a cyclone helps remove

» Wastewater Cont. from pg. 1 By Pete DeMola EDITOR

LAKE GEORGE | The state has allocated $32 million in grants to Adirondack communities for wastewater infrastructure and drinking water projects since 2015. But it will take an additional $85 million to shore up “immediate needs” in roughly two dozen communities across the Adirondack Park, determined the Adirondack Council in a new report released last week, putting costs at over $100 million. Localities across the North Country are in the process of upgrading their water and sewer systems, which are stressed by age and increased use. Failing systems means effluent may seep into local streams, lakes and rivers, contamination that presents both human and environmental threats. Several local wastewater treatment plants are under state Department of Environmental Conservation consent order, including those in Lake Placid, Crown Point, Ausable, Lake George, Ticonderoga, Westport and Hague. An additional eight have been flagged as having a track record of having “historic incidents” of being out of compliance with DEC permitting requirements, including systems in Moriah, Willsboro, St. Armand, Au Sable Forks, Tupper Lake, Indian Lake and Newcomb. The border towns of Peru and Champlain are also undertaking sewer upgrades, with estimated project costs clocking

particulates (ash) from the emissions. Ken Dumont from Biomass Commodities Corporation, Williamstown, Mass., said the system is 80 percent efficient, meaning 80 percent of the fuel burned is transformed into heat. The Chester Town Board last week au-

in at $4 million and $7.1 million, respectively. Despite the need, the tax base to fund the projects simply doesn’t exist across the region, and efforts in high-need communities require state assistance to avoid stiff user fee increases and long-term debt financing. “More grants will be needed to help local taxpayers and communities if we hope to keep the Adirondack Park’s water clean and healthy for everyone,” said Executive Director William Janeway in a statement. Still other communities are in the process of identifying estimated project costs for additional work needed at their facilities, Janeway said. As a result, the estimate of an additional need for $85 million is for ready-to-go projects, and the need is expected to grow over time, he said. The grants are a result of the state’s $2.5 billion five-year Clean Water Infrastructure Infrastructure Act. The current fiscal year’s enacted budget contains $100 million in funding, and the same amount has been slated for 2017-18. The remaining local project costs are largely financed through the Federal State Revolving Loan Fund administered by the state Environmental Facilities Corp. The next round for state grant funding is scheduled for 2018. Janeway said federal representatives are working to boost federal funding for state revolving funds, and he pushed localities to identify projects in their communities. “Now is the time for all communities to move forward, plan for their future needs and apply for future grants under New York State’s Clean Water programs,” he said. ■

thorized the purchase of hardwood pellets from Vincent Heating and Fuel, which bid the sale of pellets to the town at $219 per ton. Vincent has the ability to deliver 25 tons of pellets at one time. The next bid was for $240 per ton, with a maximum delivery of 16 tons. ■

State and local officials have made significant progress over the past three years addressing threats to water quality in the Adirondack Park, but still have far to go, said the Adirondack Council in a water infrastructure report released on Nov. 21.

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

Season of joy The joys of living life to the fullest are the opportunity to renew and celebrate our traditions. Holiday prepBy Dan Alexander arations and events • PUBLISHER • serve to bring family and friends together while strengthening the bonds between them. Thanksgiving serves as an essential kick-off to many of the traditions important in our lives. We each have those that are unique and very personal, but throughout your life, they conjure special memories and warm thoughts of bygone years. It’s the lasting memory that builds those individual layers of the tradition that further enriches the shared memory. Unfortunately, as time marches on, so do some of the traditions that stood firm throughout the years. Traditions change as a result of many factors. The passing of time, places and people can affect those events over the years. In some cases only then do we begin to appreciate the value of those traditions and the effort put forth by those who made them unique to you. The most important lesson in our traditions is the ability to share your traditions with others, inviting them into the unique experience that was once new to you. While the tradition may evolve over generations, the ability to pass along from previous generations not only the importance of the tradition but the manner in which those individuals from the earlier generations valued and shared the tradition. It’s those stories passed down and shared that make these events so very personal. As the years pass, we realize that what we received, represents a lasting gift of love and joy. The only thing that makes that feeling even more prized is when you can pass along the same joy to the next generation. It seems more diffi cult these to get in the “festive mood.” When we reflect on the world we live in with all the anger and disagreements we see bubbling on the surface, it’s too easy to join the fray instead of setting a more joyful mood, in keeping with the season. Joy and love are out there, and it’s up to each of us to find it in our lives and share it with those around us, especially those who need to lighten up a little bit and see what they are missing. We all need this seasonal celebration to brighten our lives and strengthen the relationship we share with others in our world. ■

From the Editorial Board

County lawmakers should support Tobacco 21 Task forces across the state have been mobilizing for the past year to garner support to ban the sale of tobacco products to people under the age of 21. Advocates are confident raising the age will help curb adolescent smoking by cutting off the supply. It’s not impossible for youngsters to find an 18-year-old friend to buy cigarettes for them. Not so much 21-year-olds. Ninety-five percent of smokers begin before the age of 21, so logic dictates this will act as a roadblock for developing a lifelong habit. Smoking rates are higher in the North Country than the state average of 15.6 percent, with numbers reaching as high as 27 percent in Franklin County. The Tobacco 21 task force, led by Adirondack Health Institute, is encouraging a grassroots movement. The group hopes municipalities and school districts will climb on board to create momentum for counties to approve raising the

U.S. should close tax loopholes To the Editor, President Trump has repeatedly promised not to touch Medicare and Social Security and to close loopholes to pay for tax cuts. However, he supports the tax reform bills before Congress which will increase the federal deficit by $1,500,000,000,000, and probably more, over the next decade. This will likely trigger an automatic cut of about $25 billion per year to Medicare. House Speaker Paul Ryan has promised to put Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid on the chopping block as soon as tax reform is passed. These programs aid about one in four residents in New York’s 21st Congressional District. In terms of loopholes, the Paradise Papers unmask how many of the richest Americans and rich American corporations use offshore tax havens and complicated invisibility cloaks to shield many thousands of billions of dollars from the eyes of the United States government for the purposes of avoiding taxes. Their actions are immoral and unethical, but not illegal. As Congress attempts to craft tax-reform legislation, a high priority should be to make these activi-

age, which they have the ability to do at the local level with a simple up or down vote. No counties in the six-country region — including Clinton, Franklin, Hamilton, Essex, Washington and Warren County — have yet brought a formal resolution to a vote. We think they should vote to raise the age. Making it more difficult for kids to start smoking is a no-brainer, and is just smart public policy. By now, the facts on tobacco use are well-established. Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death and disease in the U.S., killing a half-million Americans every year, including 28,000 New Yorkers. Smoking continues to be a drain on the health care system, costing the U.S. $170 billion in annual health care expenditures, with direct and indirect losses to the American economy as a result of tobacco use totaling $330 billion annually. Furthermore, the public is on board with

ties illegal. Failure to do so must be regarded as yet another huge tax break to the very richest Americans. These loopholes are not addressed in the current drafts. So if a tax bill is passed, many of the citizens in New York’s 21st Congressional District will be given the opportunity have their pockets picked to support the ultrarich who have hidden offshore accounts that can’t be taxed. Robert Gilmore, Tupper Lake ■

raising the age. A study by the Centers for Disease Control revealed 75 percent of adults are in favor of raising the age, including 70 percent of smokers and 65 percent of people ages 18 to 24. County lawmakers from across the North Country have raised some valid concerns over their reluctance to support the measure, including enforcement issues, the economic impact on retailers and the fact that if adolescents can join the military at the age of 18, they should be able to smoke, too. We hear those concerns loud and clear. But you also have to be 21 to purchase a firearm, rent a car and gamble in a casino. Ultimately, this amounts to a public safety policy that will save lives. Make no mistake about it: Smoking kills in agonizing fashion. If lawmakers can help even one kid steer clear of a devastating lifelong habit, they should do so. ■

Elephant ban par for the course

ment of dead elephants so “trophies” can be shipped into the US, and 3.) reversing a controversial policy without notifying the press secretary. Our worst president ever has degraded conservatism, the religious right, and now the GOP’s own mascot. He can’t even coordinate a Fish and Wildlife decision.

To the Editor: White House press secretary rationalized lifting the import ban on endangered big game trophies by claiming it was decided by career civil servants appointed by Obama. This administration often invokes Obama’s name in an attempt to deflect blame and legitimize its unpopular agenda. Just hours later, the president tweeted that the decision was “under review,” another way of saying it’s been reversed. Behold the stunning incompetence of this administration, demonstrated by 1.) obliviously facilitating wealthy white hunters (such as his sons) to hire impoverished Africans to shoot dwindling elephant herds for entertainment; 2.) approving the dismember-

To the Editor, What would Reacher do? The mystery book character Jack Reacher often tells others “ hope for the best, prepare for the worst.” This is how I’m looking at the Republican House and Senate tax plans, neither of which appear to be reducing federal spending. Rather they both appear to simply shift revenue from one source to another. Some being potential future sources, including borrowing. Neither plan speaks of cutting federal spending which means annual deficit increases as the total government debt also increases.

The grossly overweight federal budget will not decrease, and this month, Congress and Trump will agree to raise the debt ceiling again and it’ll be off to the races with more borrowing. Wherever Obama found $1.7 billion in cash to put on an airplane to Iran in the middle of the night and the $17 million slush fund that Congress uses to make their sex scandals go away will still be in place. I wonder why congresspersons can’t use their own money to settle their own sex scandals. I suppose I’m preparing for the worst when I suspect the Republican promise of $1,200 of tax money in our pockets will be as real as Obama’s $2,500 savings on our health care. I suppose I’m being cynical with my lack of faith that we’ll have an extra $1,200 in our pockets because they may discontinue taking it from us. It’s not extra if it’s our money to begin with any more than it’s extra when a thief doesn’t rob you again. It’s also not extra money if our children have to pay it back later. I hope for the best, but if Congress can’t possibly get by with less than $3.2 trillion in annual revenue on a $4 trillion budget, well, I still fear the worst.

Major update of Lake George town ordinances eyed By Thom Randall STA FF W RITER

LAKE GEORGE | Over the next several months, Town of Lake George officials will be reviewing town zoning and subdivision laws with the intent of updating and streamlining them to benefit both residents and developers, town leaders said at the Nov. 13 town board meeting. Although town Planning Director Dan Barusch predicted that the changes to the town laws would be the most comprehensive since the codes were established, he added that the amendments would likely be welcomed by town property owners. “The proposed changes are not controversial — most all of then will boost leniency and help applicants,” he said, noting that plans do not call for changes to the town zoning map. “The amendments would eliminate a lot of non-consequential regulations and red tape —relaxing a number of regulations, including minimum square footage requirements.” The regulations to be relaxed are setbacks for buildings in some zones, minimum square footage for structures, and placement of garages on residential properties. The changes also include allowing swimming pools in some of the zones where they now are prohibited except by variance. Changes to the ordinances also include accommodations for solar farms and solar installations as well as boat storage facilities, distilleries and breweries — new aspects of contemporary life that weren’t anticipated when the ordinances were established decades ago. Barusch said the proposed amendments would soon be published on the town website, and comments will be accepted from the public. The draft amendments, accompanied by resident input, are to be reviewed by the town Planning Board beginning at their January meeting. A formal public hearing would be held this spring, and then the changes would be reviewed by both the Warren County Planning Board, with a series of town public hearings following. The target date for adopting the amendments is Fall 2018. Barusch noted that the amendments to the zoning and subdivision ordinances would receive full scrutiny by the public before being forwarded to the Adirondack Park Agency for their review.

St. Petersburg Men’s Ensemble to perform at Arts Center

BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE | The St. Petersburg Men’s Ensemble will be performing a concert of classical and Russian folk music

town meeting, board members: • Approved a $6.36 million town budget for 2018 that represents a 3.9 percent increase in spending over 2017 and a 2.8 percent increase in tax levy, yet a decrease of 1.7 cents per thousand of assessed valuation. The budget includes funds to pay towards staffing for the town teen center. • Authorized Lake George Fire Chief Jason Berry to solicit bids for a new aerial ladder fire truck, based on specifications similar to a $930,000 Sutphen tower truck the firefighters have sought to purchase. Although the existing aerial fire truck has only 17,000 or so miles on its odometer and was repaired recently for about $60,000, the fire department members have cited continuing problems with its functions. • Set public hearings for Dec. 11 at 6 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. respectively for reviewing a town economic development plan and for an amendment to a local littering law. The former, developed after public meetings with APA representatives and town officials, calls for more business-friendly codes, as well as pursuing development of a health center, educational institutions, and a business park, as well as marketing developable land parcels. The latter hearing is on changes to the littering law which would regulate where and how long trash cans can be placed beside roadways. Barusch noted that many complaints have been heard about inadequate or damaged trash containers and others remaining at roadside for months, or being placed illicitly on neighbors’ property. • The board authorized Barusch to submit a pre-application for a $100,000 grant to establish a new town Public-Private Pollution Prevention Program which would assist businesses in town in upgrading stormwater control measures. • Appropriated $1,800 in occupancy tax funds towards Denny Galloway’s “Think Vet” event, held prior to Veteran’s Day, in which hundreds of area residents drove up Prospect Mountain without paying the normal fee. • Heard that the town planning department is now assessing the town’s compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act. Barusch said that the town may have to improve access within the next few years to the town hall, the town Senior Center and transfer station, Ushers Park, the old county courthouse, and Diamond Point Beach. The inventory of what needs to be accomplished is likely to be undertaken with an intern from SUNY Albany. ■

One Hundred Years Ago: December, 1917 SUFFRAGETTES MARCH FORWARD

The political movement of lady Suffragettes in America and the UK to secure voting rights for women has been truly amazing. The posting of 1,011,503 signatures upon beaver board went busily foreword, preparatory to being borne aloft in the carrying up Fifth Avenue in New York City on Saturday, Oct. 27, 1917. These names were the plea of a million women for enfranchisement and political freedom. Their names are to be displayed in the great pageant by volunteers whose numbers were over 2,500 people. This is expected to be the most effective argument for women suffrage ever submitted to the judgment of the people. This broad cultural and political movement was initiated by women to improve their social position by freeing themselves from the constraints and disadvantages of a society said to be dominated by men. A woman’s right to vote is just simple justice. The busy parade headquarters are at 15 East 59th Street. Miss Jeannette Rankin, member of Congress from Montana said, “Sentiment in favor of women suffrage is stronger in Congress today than it ever has been.” Mrs. James Leef Laidlaw recently spoke on the topic, “Woman’s Service in War and Peace,” at City Hall, Glens Falls. President Woodrow Wilson said, “Suffrage is needed. I hope that the voters of the state of New York will rally to the support of woman’s suffrage by a handsome majority.” The president delivered his message recently to New York voters for the cause at the White House to a delegation of 100 Suffragette ladies headed by Mrs. deR. Whitehouse. The Suffrage moving picture film, “Woman’s Work in War Time,” is now being shown at several of Loew’s theatres in New York. (Update: The vote “won” after World War I in 1918, though it was limited to those women of 30 years of age or over. There were many men and women who were opposed to female suffrage and it was not until 1919 that woman over 21 years eventually achieved the right to vote. Woman’s liberation was traced back to the 1789 French Revolution.)

PLEA FOR BULL DURHAM TOBACCO

In a letter from “Somewhere in France” dated Aug. 12, 1917, a soldier wrote, “ Do not forget us pipe smokers when the issuing of tobacco is taking place. When Bull Durham is obtained by us it is worth its weight in gold. We miss this more than any other article that could be possibly obtained from the United States.” Signed by a captain of the U.S. Infantry.

GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

Almon Waters, 90, died Tuesday, Oct. 30, 1917. He was native of the Town of Horicon, a son of Howard Waters, and he left there in the 1850’s to make his home in Steuben County. For many years he oper-

ated a large farm there.

DUNKLEY MOVES ON

Sylvester Dunkley, who has been in the employ of Senator James A. Emerson, of Warrensburgh, as chauffeur for six and a half years, has been succeeded in that position by Mr. Vanderwerker, of Pottersville. Mr. Dunkley is now working in the local Adirondack Garage. (Update – I often think of Mr. Dunkley, of whom I have often read as Senator Emerson’s faithful employee, industriously polishing his employer’s fancy automobile, as I drive by the big old barn on Emerson Avenue, behind the Emerson House on 3826 Main Street. In their day, many carriage horses were housed in that wonderful old building and I am sure that the barn could tell many good stories, but today all is eerily silent there.)

NEW HUPMOBILE SHOWING

The public is looking forward eagerly to their first glimpse of the new 1918 Hupmobile motor car which will soon make its debut. Automobile production has been slow as of late due to the war going on. The Hupp Motor Car, of Detroit Michigan, has been producing fine motor cars for the public since 1908 and they are very popular. (Update: This company went on to be popular in the “roaring twenties” and made many different models, such as a coupe, 5 passenger touring cars, 2 passenger roadsters, a three door club sedan and a 7 passenger sedan and limousine. In 1927 they made the popular new Brougham model. Competition was stiff and the Hupp Company went out of business in 1940.)

SWEET AND SOUR NOTES

The delightful weather of the first half of November 1917 is worthy of remembrance. “Indian Summer” gave us many perfect autumn days. It was a fine time for the harvesting of potatoes which are now selling for $1.40 a bushel. Grover Gill passed a few precious hours with his mother on Sunday, Nov. 11, 1917, in Stony Creek. He had a short furlough and returned to camp Devens on Sunday night as his mother tearfully watched him go. A bonnet party was held recently in Albert Armstrong’s hall in Johnsburgh for the benefit of the parsonage and $9 was raised. A good supper was served and the men enjoyed wearing the bonnets. Men’s union suits are currently on sale at Kempner & Merkle, 138 Glen Street, Glens Falls, for $1.19 each. Men’s socks are 17 cents and men’s wool underwear is 88 cents each. (Update – The store later bore the name of Merkle and Gilman, which survived for many prosperous years into the future.) Frear’s of Troy is now selling men’s beautifully priced Raccoon coats for $25, for classy gentlemen to wear while driving their auto in winter. (Update – In summer a gentleman, as was the fashion, used to wear a spotless white linen cover coat to keep the road dust off his clothes.) ■ -Readers are welcome to contact Adirondack Journal correspondent Jean Hadden at jhadden1@ nycap.rr.com or 623-2210.

Mayor: Lake George could share new fire truck with Warrensburg By Thom Randall STA FF W RITER

LAKE GEORGE | Concerned about the projected cost of buying a new aerial firetruck as well as protecting public safety, Lake George Village officials are now considering sharing such a truck, complete with a 70-foot ladder, with neighboring Warrensburg. Lake George Mayor Robert Blais proposed the concept to the village board Nov. 20. “This may seem crazy, but fire companies may have to start sharing equipment, considering the cost of firefighting equipment,” he said. Blais proposed that the cost of a new ladder truck, estimated at $930,000, be split evenly between Warrensburg and Lake George’s two municipalities, and that it would be stationed in Lake George between May and October, and in Warrensburg between November and April. Not only would such a joint ownership minimize acquisition costs, but it would likely improve response times, boosting public safety, Blais said. In recent years, the Lake George Fire Department has experienced delays in responding to daytime fire calls, primarily in the winter, because most of their fire company members are employed outside the village. With a jointly-owned aerial truck parked ready-to-go in the Warrensburg fire station from November through April, firefighters would likely respond quicker to emergencies, as Warrensburg Fire Co. can mobilize its personnel faster than Lake George can

in the off-season, Blais said. “We have trouble getting apparatus out the door, and they don’t,” Blais said. During the summer, when the Lake George Fire Dept. receives an average of several calls per day rather than one per week, a paid “station keeper,” qualified to drive fire trucks, is on duty. The mayor proposed that after the village’s fire equipment reserve is used as a down payment for the firetruck, the village and town of Lake George and the town of Warrensburg split the remaining expense three ways — $200,000 to $300,000 for each municipality. Blais said that in winter, with the aerial fire truck stationed in Warrensburg, it would likely respond quicker to fires in Lake George than if the truck were located in the village’s fire station — although the Warrensburg fire station is 5 miles north of the village. He added that the Warrensburg Fire Co. already is contracted to respond to fires in the north end of town. Warrensburg Fire Co. President and town supervisor Kevin Geraghty received a letter from Blais Nov. 27 outlining the proposal, but Geraghty declined to offer his opinion. “It’s a nice gesture, and I’ll give it to the Warrensburg Fire District Board of Commissioners for their review,” he said, adding that the new Warrensburg firehouse garage, with its five bays, has plenty of room for an aerial firetruck. He added that despite Warrensburg having few buildings higher than two stories, a ladder truck could be useful in some situations locally.

The new Warrensburg firehouse garage, with its five spacious bays, would easily accommodate a new aerial firetruck that Lake George Village Mayor Robert Blais has proposed to purchase jointly with the town of Warrensburg and the town of Lake George. Photo by Thom Randall In the meantime, Lake George employees were preparing specifications for a new aerial truck — to be put out to bid in several weeks — although both village and town officials have not committed to purchasing a new ladder truck. Over the 14 months, village trustees and town board members have questioned why a new firetruck is needed. The village 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 by the time repairs were finished. Fire chief Jason Berry told municipal officials last month that additional repairs were needed and that a new truck would have more advanced technology aiding in firefighting efforts. Blais said that if Lake George were to buy a new aerial truck, sharing such equipment made sense. “A ladder truck is a very expensive piece of equipment,” he said. “It’s logical try to share something like this with your neighbor.” ■

Ice hockey now a winter sport at Warrensburg High

their students now had another sanctioned winter sport to choose from, in addition to basketball and wrestling. “This gives our students a new opportunity to play for a high school ice hockey team,” he said. Smith added that offering ice hockey will likely not hamper the other winter sports by drawing athletes away from any other winter teams. “The athletes that have signed up for the sport would have been busy with club hockey anyway,” he said. To date, the Adirondack Rivermen includes the following Warrensburg students: Cody Parker, a senior goaltender; Christian Carrion, a junior forward; Tom Moore, a sophomore forward; and Nick Parker, a freshman forward, Smith said. “These four guys all have played youth club hockey, and they’ve got significant experience on ice,” he said. The team also includes Glens Falls High School freshman Ben DiFiore, son of the coach.

WARRENSBURG | For the first time in recent history — and likely over the school’s entire existence — Warrensburg Central School is offering ice hockey as an interscholastic sport.

Warrensburg High is now one of four schools jointly sponsoring the Adirondack Rivermen which is holding games weekly from now through February. High school athletes from Glens Falls, South Glens Falls, Hudson Falls and Warrensburg are on the roster of the Rivermen, engaged in competition sanctioned by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association. Competing in Section II Division I, the Rivermen are coached by Mike DiFiore, a social studies teacher at Warrensburg High. Warrensburg Elementary School Teacher Nick LaVigne is the team’s assistant coach. The Adirondack Rivermen squad is one of 11 teams competing in the Capital District High School Hockey League. Warrensburg Central School District Athletic Director Scott Smith said school administrators were pleased that

During the 2015-16 year, the Rivermen — formerly named the Tri-Falls Rivermen — were finalists in the Section II championship tournament series. Before the four schools merged to form the Rivermen, DiFiore spent a dozen years as the coach of Glens Falls High School’s hockey team. The sports mergers in recent years involving Warrensburg High and Bolton Central — and a 2016-17 Rivermen team that had to draft a lot of eighth graders — prompted DiFiore to consider the potential of Warrensburg joining the Rivermen. Despite their youth in 2016-17, the team achieved a 6-14-1 record. DiFiore predicted a bright future for the team, stating that their short-term goal is to compile a solid enough record this season to place among the top four teams in Section II, which would secure a home game in the Sectional tournament quarterfinals. “Warrensburg joining the team is an exciting opportunity, and I think we have a tremendous future,” he said, noting there are 15 freshmen now on the Rivermen. “I hope to get the student body more involved in the sport that I love.” Smith said the Adirondack Rivermen have already developed a substantial fan base at Warrensburg High School. “There’s a lot of buzz about the team throughout the high school,” he said. “A lot of students are excited to watch their friends play ice hockey.”

SEASON SCHEDULE

The Adirondack Rivermen started their schedule of practices for the 2017-18 season on Nov. 6. They’ve played four scrimmages so far: Against Saratoga on Nov. 17, versus LaSalle on Nov. 18, against Salmon River on Nov. 22 and Shenendehowa on Nov. 28. The team’s regular season begins with away games over two days in the Potsdam Tournament, to be held Friday Dec. 1 and Saturday Dec. 2 in that city’s Pine St. Arena. Next up is a home game against Penfield Vt. at 7:40 p.m. Friday Dec. 8 at the Glens Falls Recreation Center rink. For the remainder of the 2017-18 season, most all of the games are to be held on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

By Thom Randall STA FF W RITER

SARATOGA SPRINGS | Poised to continue their recent legacy of winning seasons, the Warrensburg Girls Basketball team won the championship of the Mike Beson Tournament by beating host team Saratoga Catholic by a score of 54-26 Nov. 25 in the tourney finals. The prior evening, the Burghers defeated Galway in the four-team tournament. Against Spa Catholic, a balanced offensive attack and a strong defense were keys to victory. Nine Burghers scored points, and most all of them contributed to rebounding or foiling Spa Catholic’s offense. Sophomore Hope Boland — named tournament MVP — tallied 10 points, four rebounds and three assists over the game. Sophomore Abigail Smith also scored 10 points — her career high — and had three assists. Freshman Sara Langworthy — younger sister of recordsetting Burgher basketball athlete Erin Langworthy who’s now playing for Hartwick College — scored 9 points and provided 5 assists. Junior Megan Hughes, named to the All-Tournament team, tallied 8 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. Her classmate Danielle Baker scored 7 points. Senior Kayla Raymond grabbed 6 rebounds as well as scoring 4 points. Sophomore Aubrey Smith brought down four rebounds and scored 2 points. Sophomore Madison Binder contributed 4 points. Although Warrensburg had a strong 12-6 first quarter advantage, Saratoga narrowed the Burghers lead with a 10-7 advantage in the second stanza. With solid rebounding and a productive offense, Warrensburg responded with a 35-10 second half to seal the tournament championship. On Nov. 24, Warrensburg defeated Galway 51-30, with Megan Hughes top scorer with 13 points, followed by hope Boland with 10 points and 6 assists. Following was Sara Langworthy with 9 points in her first Varsity game; Kayla Raymond with 5 points; plus 4 points each for Aubrey Smith, Abigail Smith and Danielle Baker. Madison Binder contributed 2 points. For Galway, Carlee Horstmann dominated her team’s

time coach at Spa Catholic and Shenendahowa schools, who died of Lou Gehrig’s Disease in 2013. ■

WCS grad Britanny Frasier a key player in her college team’s historic win By Thom Randall STA FF W RITER

POULTNEY, VT. | Britanny Frasier, a 2017 graduate of Warrensburg High School, grabbed headlines last week as she led her Green Mountain College women’s basketball team to a historic victory, ending a 27-game losing streak. In the Eagles’ 2017-18 season debut against Southern Vermont, Frasier, a 5’8” forward, went on an offensive attack that secured a key 71-62 victory for a team that had won only 2 of 90 games over the past four years. With the Eagles trailing by one point in the fourth quarter and their shooting guard benched with an ankle injury, Frasier began a 10-point tirade that turned the game around. Three of the baskets were driving layups, the last of which was executed along the

full length of the floor. Two of them were accomplished within the last 90 seconds of the game, securing the victory. Frasier had scored 15 points in the game, a feat matched by junior point guard Mercedes Rideout. The determination of Frasier and her teammates in the final minutes produced a 7-point lead which Southern Vermont was unable to overcome — a feat that prompted raucous, heartfelt cheers from the crowd at the Eagle Dome. Frasier was also productive on defense, grabbing 12 rebounds and often frustrating the Mountaineer’s offense. In an article on the game in the Rutland Herald titled “Frasier shows the way for the Britanny Frasier, a Warrensburg graduate drafted for Green Mountain College basketball, drives Eagles,” reporter Bob Fredette described the ball down the floor during her team’s season debut against Southern Vermont College. Green Frasier’s “slashing moves and command Mountain won the pivotal game 71-62, ending a 27-game losing streak. The victory showcased of the floor.” A four-year starter for Warrensburg the emerging potential of the team that over the past four years had lost 88 of its last 90 games. Photo by Allison Irons High, Frasier averaged 9.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 assists per game in her senior season. She was a key factor in her team winning the Adirondack League Division II title and tallying a 17-4 record. For her accomplishments, she was named an Adirondack League first-team All-Star, having achieved similar recognition the prior three years. In 2015-16, she earned New York State All-Star honorable mention status. Coach Brad Rideout, Mercedes’ father, praised Frasier in a recent news article, saying he was “very excited” about Frasier joining the team. “Britanny is a very competitive player with solid allaround basketball abilities on both ends of the floor,” he said. “Her work ethic on the court carries over into the classroom as well.” Rideout has plans to turn around the Eagles’ multi-year slump by coaching his team to utilize tough, consistent and physical defense. “When we get bumped, we’ll bump back,” he told a college reporter. Such physical play is exactly what Frasier delivered in her debut game for Green Mountain as well as for Warrensburg throughout her four years as starter. Warrensburg basketball coach Scott Smith said he was pleased that Frasier was experiencing success at Green Mountain. “She’s a great rebounder, and she brought a lot of energy onto the court,” Smith recalled. “Her success at Green Mountain so far speaks well for Brittany — and for our basketball program in Warrensburg.” Although she was hailed for her team’s 2017-18 debut victory, Frasier credited her fellow Eagles, noting that four players achieved double To learn more about applying for health insurance, including Medicaid, figures in scoring.

Chester budget passed with a net 4 cent reduction

Overall tax rate drops due to lower special district rates By Christopher South STA FF W RITER

CHESTERTOWN | After considering several proposals that would break the tax cap the Chester Town Board voted to adopt a 2108 municipal budget that will remain under the cap. The board approved an approximately $4 million budget on Nov. 20 with a local tax rate of $1.51 per $1,000 of assessed value, up from $1.48 in 2017. The town will see a 2 percent increase in 2018. The grand total of appropriations for town and special districts for 2018 will be $5,355,803, with $2,037,171 to be raised by taxes. The grand total tax rate, including all special districts, will be $8.31 per $1,000 of assessed value, down from $8.35 in 2017. The Town of Chester started the budget season able to spend only another $28,805 between 2017 and 2018. Contractual agreements alone called for about a $27,000 increase, while healthcare costs were expected to rise by » Barbershop Cont. from pg. 1 Fresca, 72, hangs his shingle out on Route 28N and walks about 200 yards back to his one-chair barbershop attached to his home. There he waits for customers to show up for a haircut, dispelling rumors that he is no longer cutting hair. “What am I going to do? People come up my driveway and hand me money,” Fresca said. Casazza, Cannan, and others make the trip from Indian Lake, Newcomb and Johnsburg, to name a few places in the central Adirondacks, to get their hair cut in a barbershop. Fresca’s, they say, is like a regular barbershop: you come in, sit down, and wait your turn. In the meanwhile, guys sit around in the small shop where the walls are bedecked with pictures of wildlife and Yankees memorabilia. The exception is a red Bosox cap that his longtime friend. “That belonged to a friend of mine. His wife said he put it in his will to give to me and said, ‘Make Greg hang it on his wall,’” Fresca said. As a true friend, he honored his friend’s request. Casazza said one of the reasons they come to Fresca’s shop is the conversation. Fresca enjoys the interaction with his customers as much as they do. They exchange stories about what they’ve done or heard about in the Adirondacks, sports, hunting and fishing, and even tell a few jokes. Fresca said he would like to see a DodgersYankees world series, saying he thought the

$25,000. Chestertown supervisor Craig Leggett initially proposed a budget that exceeded the cap by $132,000, and called for a 20 cent tax rate increase. After reworking the budget several times, Leggett proposed a budget that rose only $28,143, and has a 3 cent tax rate increase. The owner of a $150,000 home will pay $226.50 in local taxes, which includes the town’s general fund, highway fund, community development fund, library and debt service. The line items for the Chestertown and Pottersville water districts, the Riverside and North Creek fire departments, and the Loon Lake and Schroon Lake park districts, yielded a 6 cent tax rate decrease. The Chestertown fire district tax rate will remain the same, and the Pottersville fire district tax rate will drop 1 cent. The minus 7 cents from special districts, added to the 3 cent increase in the general fund, results in a combined 4 cent tax rate decrease in 2018. Leggett gave kudos to Councilman Mike Packer for helping to bring the budget under the cap and reduce the overall tax rate. “Credit is due to Councilman Packer for analyzing the budget and recommending areas that can be reduced in order for the town to remain under the tax cap,” Leggett said. “Through his suggestions, we were able to cut the potential town-wide from a 10 cent increase, as proposed in

Dodgers would be in the Series all along. As far as the Yankees, Fresca quoted former Yankee player and manager Yogi Berra, saying, “It ain’t over until it’s over.” Guys will come into his shop who haven’t seen each other for 20 years and will spend a half hour or 40 minutes catching up. “That’s what I like about my shop - the small town feel of it,” Fresca said. A newly arriving customer walked in the door. “Are you busy?” he asked. “As busy as I want to be,” Fresca said. Fresca, originally from Staten Island, said he is no longer interested in breaking his back in a busy barbershop. He comes from a long line of barbers: his father, Victor Sr., brothers, Frank and Vic Jr., both grandfathers, his mother’s cousin, and his uncles were all barbers; including his Uncle Felix who had a six-chair barbershop in Manhattan. Fresca went to work for a drug chain as a delivery person, and ended up being a manager/supervisor. He started cutting hair at 30, having learned from his father and brothers. He worked with them in a five-chair shop in a retirement village in Toms River. He operated his own shop for 28 years in Bayville, N.J. In 2002, he opened his shop in Minerva with one chair from his brothers’ shop. “All the chairs matched except this one,” he said. Fresca and his wife bought their property

the preliminary budget, down to only a 3 cent increase in the final budget. This took creative thinking and a fresh set of eyes to make it happen.” Leggett, the town’s budget officer, said he met with Packer and Councilwoman Karen DuRose on separate occasions and discussed possible line items to be reduced. “There was consensus that the Parks Personnel Services line item could be reduced by delaying by three months the backfilling of positions open due to retirement,” Leggett said. The resulting salary and benefit reductions plus some minor reductions in contractual expenses, reduced the general fund tax levy by $32,000. The reduction in tax levy allowed the redistribution of funds to restore the tax levy for Chestertown and Pottersville Water Districts to 2017 levels. The result is the town can continue its investment in capital water projects, including the expansion of the water supply lines. The highway fund remained unchanged from 2017, but Leggett warned of an eventual, noticeable degradation in roads, buildings, and public spaces he said would have a negative effect on the well being and prosperity of a community. He said he believes the Town of Chester will be able to continue an acceptable minimum of work and improvement of town assets. “Our budget cannot take on all the projects, needs, and wants that are asked of the town,” Leggett said. ■

in Minerva in 1989 as a getaway from the craziness of New Jersey. In 2003, he sold everything and moved back to New Jersey. The following year, they vacationed in the area, and ended up buying back their property. Fresca and his wife Carol have seven children, 17 grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. They raised five of their children on Staten Island before moving to Toms River, N.J., in 1972.

Fresca is happy to be living and working in the Adirondacks. As sign on his wall reads, “I wasn’t born here in the mountains, but I got here as soon as I could.” “You could spend years trying to accumulate knowledge up here,” he said. Fresca said he only regreets not becoming a barber sooner in life. “It’s been good to me. I’ve met a lot of people. It’s all part of the master plan the man upstairs has for us,” he said. ■

Money is no object at transfer station’s reuse center Transfer station gives away cleaning, working items By Christopher South STA FF W RITER

CHESTERTOWN | When you visit the Town of Chester Transfer Station, you will have to pay to drop off trash, but you can leave with good, clean, usable items they collect and hand out to the public. According to Debbie Birch, a town employee organizes the usable items in the “Re-use Room,” or “thrift shop,” people visit from places as far away as Thurman, Stony Creek, and Luzerne to find good, free items. Birch has been working at the transfer station since 2011, and when she is not attending to customers dropping off trash and recyclables, she is working at what they call simply call “the shop.” “It’s a very good and beneficial community service,” supervisor Craig Leggett said of the shop. Most people drop off usable items, but Birch still goes through the items, especially the clothes, to make sure they are clean, not stained, and in good condition. “I determine if it can be used,” she said. For the most part there are a lot of clothes, mainly women’s and children’s clothes, but not a lot of men’s clothes. Birch explained that women with go through their closets and get rid of dated clothing, or items they just don’t wear anymore. Children outgrow their clothes. “Men wear their clothes until they fall off,” Birch said. She said children’s coats, hats, and gloves are hard to find items, and it is generally hit or miss. She said she doesn’t know of any local coat drives for kids. She said when she finds kids’ snow pants she usually sets them aside for someone who is looking for them. “When I see someone come in with kids I ask them what they need, in what size, and if they don’t find it I will get their number and set things aside if they come in,” Birch said.

A transfer station employee speaks with a transfer station patron who dropped off some items at the thrift shop. All items are donated and are free to the public. Photo by Christopher South Upon visiting, the shop was for the most part full of clothing, shoes, glassware, books, old VHS tapes, and small appliance items. Outside, there is a green shipping container where furniture items or baby furniture or toys might be kept. It is also used to hold items when the store gets too cramped for space. Birch said people are very good about donating items to supply the shop. She said people will sometimes clean out their parents’ closets, and she will get deliveries from the share shop in Chester if they have an overage of items. Birch said the shop is getting known in the area, hence people coming from out of town. As people become acquainted with the shop they will tell

her when they are looking for a particular item of clothing, a style of furniture, or author. She said even if people don’t find what they are looking for they usually find something. “We have a good system here,” Birch said. “It works, and everything is free.” Birch said she is glad to see things being reused because there is a lot of need in the North Country. She said if they don’t take the items they could end up as trash. “This saves a lot of items from going into the landfill,” Birch said. Birch said the shop is available to anyone, and there is no limit on the number of times one can visit or the amount of items they can take. ■

Stewart’s Holiday Match kicks off Campaign continues to set records, funds support local children’s charities

WARRENSBURG | Stewart’s Shops is teaming up with its customers once again to raise money for local children’s charities. The Stewart’s Holiday Match campaign kicks off on Thanksgiving Day and runs through Christmas Day at all shop locations. The program doubles customer donations penny for penny, and has set fundraising

records for three consecutive seasons. “Already having such a sense of community in our shops, the Stewart’s Holiday Match program has proven to be a perfect match for our friendly partners and loyal customers. By joining together, we can support kids in our own neighborhoods, all year long,” said Stewart’s Shops President Gary Dake. In 2016, customers donated an incredible $926,000 to the program, doubling to more than $1.85 million with the Stewart’s match. This was a $100,000 increase over the previous season. The funds were able to support a record 1,737 local children’s organizations across the 31 counties where Stewart’s Shops are located. “The Holiday Match Program is a significant

part of Stewart’s commitment to strengthen our shops’ communities,” said Stewart’s Foundation President Susan Dake. “Not only does it raise funds and awareness for local children’s charities, it encourages community support. It’s another way we are closer to you.” This program has contributed more than $24 million to thousands of local children’s organizations since 1986. All the money donated goes to charity; there are no administrative costs. The funds are allocated in March. The goal of Holiday Match is to encourage individual giving and broaden the base of support for local charities. Stewart’s Holiday Match is a 501c3 foundation; all donations are tax-deductible. Stewart’s gladly accepts funds from groups or businesses, but only

matches individual donations. Local children’s organizations are encouraged to apply for funding online at stewartsshops.com. Paper applications are also available at shops. The deadline for submission is January 31, 2018. All groups applying must be locally based, benefit children under 18, and be a qualified, charitable 501c3 organization. A brochure listing all the local organizations that received funds last season will also be available in all Stewart’s Shops and at stewartsshops.com. Stewart’s Shops thanks its customers, shop partners and media partners for their support each year. ■

Pay phones as rare as unicorns, but still exist Working or not, pay phones are hanging around By Christopher South STA FF W RITER

CHESTERTOWN | Stop in the Chester Town Hall, and if you are inclined you can pick up the receiver of the pay phone outside the town court room and put it to your ear. You won’t hear a dial tone. Go down the street to Bomber’s Place and you will find another pay phone mounted on the outside of the building. “It doesn’t work,” said Melissa Carroll, owner of Bomber’s Place. The same could be true for other pay phones you see along the way, left mounted on walls but no longer functioning, relics of a bygone era before cell phones made them unnecessary - for the most part.

However, Frontier Communications still maintains public telephones in numerous areas throughout the area it services. “For the most part, these phones see fairly minimal use as other forms of easily accessible communications, such as cell phones, have nearly eliminated demand for stationary public phones,” said Andy Malinoski, a spokesman for Frontier Communications. Malinoski said Frontier evaluates its public pay phones on a continual basis as a prudent economic measure. Sometimes it “decommissions” the pay phones based on their condition, usage rates, safety and other considerations. “The safety and security of the communities we serve is a top priority for Frontier Communications and we carefully consider local impacts before removing these devices,” Malinoski said. Although they are rare as unicorns, pay phones just keep hanging around. The new Stewart’s shop on Rt. 28 in the North Creek section of Johnsburg was constructed from the ground up, and it includes a coin-operated pay phone. “We have been offering pay phones at our shops for decades

– a function for business use and as a service for our customers,” said Stewart’s spokesperson Maria D’Amelia, “but now as technology has changed and more people have cell phones, the purpose of these pay phones have transitioned to primarily business usage – it’s our store phone.” Stewart’s can program the pay phone/store phone from its corporate offices, using speed dial to reach departments and support the shops might need. D’Amelia said Stewart’s still sees the pay phones as a convenience for customers in case of emergency, even if they are being used less and less. It also gives someone the option of using a telephone if there is no cell phone signal. D’Amelia said she did not know how long Stewart’s would continue to have pay phones in its stores. “Time will tell how long we will be able to continue their usage, as the phones themselves become harder to find, and more difficult to find parts. At this point, we are unable to get new software. We will keep them as long as we can support them. And yes, continue to install them at new shops,” D’Amelia said. ■
