Lk. George set to take annual ‘Plunge’
This Week LAKE GEORGE
By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com
LAKE GEORGE — It’s expected to be a banner year for the New YearÕ s Polar Plunge into Lake George, as the weather forecast calls for temperatures higher than last yearÕ s bitter cold. Whether itÕ s a way to cure a hangover, publicly demonstrate oneÕ s bravery, or make new friends, 900 to 1,800 people annually participate in the frigid swim in the lake and its teethchattering revelry. The event has also served as a way people express their creativity and humor, through bizarre antics and offbeat costumes. For 42 years, people of all ages have enjoyed the offbeat spirit and party atmosphere of the festive but frigid event. This year, long-range weather forecasts for Lake George call for temperatures hitting 27 degrees on Jan. 1, rather than the 18 degrees recorded last year. With the brisk breezes, the wind chill factor at this 2014 plunge fell to sub-zero temperatures. The bitter cold discouraged the hundreds of wannabe polar plungers whoÕ d attended the event for several years prior, when temperatures were unseasonably high Ñ CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

In 2001 when she inherited the event months after founder Charlie Ò Papa BearÓ Albert died, only 52 people enrolled, she said. The event has since received considerable national attention, being reported in various media, and mentioned on Wikipedia Ñ an entry thatÕ s accompanied by a link to a video on YouTube.

Renovations to Lake Geo. schools headed for public vote By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ The Lake George Board of Education has proposed a $2.82 million project to accomplish renovations to both their elementary and high schools. The proposition is to go to a public vote in February. The proposal features replacing the roof over all of the elementary school Ñ except for the gymnasium and library which were repaired several years ago Ñ as well as the high school gym. The project also includes building a new secure vestibule at the elementary school main entrance, where visitors can speak with a greeter before they are admitted through a second set of main doors into the school.
The initiative also calls for constructing new storm drains around the school Ñ primarily on the west side Ñ to drain off the excessive stormwater that now tends to collect there. Plans also call for an outdated electrical transformer at the elementary school to be replaced and situated in a new location. National Grid is to pay for the new transformer, but the school district is to shoulder the cost of the accompanying new electrical service lines and transformer pad, School District Business Manager Kate DuBois said. Also, folding partition panels in gymnasium that are now in poor shape are to be replaced Ñ tentatively with curtains. At the high school, the aging hot water tank in the high school is to be replaced with an energy-efficient model. The total cost is not to exceed $2,821,776. By using $516,742 left over from a 2011 renovation
effort, this new project will require borrowing only $2,305,034, DuBois said. The public vote on the renovations proposition is to be held from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday Feb. 26. Depending on the dollar amount of the bids submitted, more security updates and repairs could be accomplished, she added. A subcommittee of the local school board had compiled a lengthy list of potential renovations, but they edited it down in recent weeks to the top priority items. Ò The school boardÕ s buildings and grounds committee whittled the list down so the project would have the least impact on taxpayers while maintaining the integrity of the school districtÕ s assets and enhancing the safety and security of the children,Ó she said. DuBois noted that the elementary school
Wbg. awarded $400k grant to extend sewer By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ The town of WarrensburgÕ s municipal sewer system is likely to be extended in the next several years so it could serve dozens more households in the southern section of town, according to Warren County officials and town leaders. Warren County was recently notified that a $400,000 state grant had been approved to extend the existing sewer line on Schroon River Road northward about 1.5 half miles to the county-owned Countryside Adult Home. The municipal sewer main now terminates on Schroon River Road Ñ also known as Horicon Avenue Ñ a few blocks north of Main St. Warrensburg Town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty said the sewer availability would boost property values along Schroon River Road and help property owners with underperforming or failed septic systems. It would also boost the potential for commercial and industrial development along the corridor, he said. Ò This is something that weÕ ve wanted to get accomplished for years,Ó he said.
The sewer mains would also serve the Warrensburg High School campus, which now only have septic systems Geraghty predicted that engineering work would be conducted in 2015, and construction could be accomplished in 2016. Geraghty said that he had suggested to county planners Wayne LaMothe and Pat Tatich that the county apply for the grant so Countryside home would have municipal sewer service, and LaMothe wrote the successful grant. Geraghty said that the possibility existed for extending sewer lines laterally so households on Prospect and Griffin avenues and other cross-streets could have municipal sewer services too Ñ but such decisions hadnÕ t yet been made. He said it also was undecided about whether to form a sewer district or just charge new sewer users outof-district fees. According to the grant, the town is to contribute $50,000 worth of labor towards the extension project. Ò This is yet another really good grant for Warrensburg,Ó he said. Ò Our town board intends to keep going forward with these infrastructure improvements that enhance the quality of life here,Ó he said.

roof was in poor shape, requiring school maintenance personnel to set out buckets above the ceiling to contain leaking water. She continued that a substantial amount of the steel roof decking was rusting out and needed to be replaced. Ò The roof above the cafeteria and three main classroom clusters is in dire need of replacement,Ó she said, praising the district buildings and grounds personnel for their expertise relating to prior stop-gap repair efforts and their input on future renovation initiatives. DuBois said that details on the proposed renovation work would be posted within several weeks on the schoolÕ s web page, and a public hearing on the proposal would be held soon afterwards. If approved by voters, construction is expected to be accomplish during summer 2016.

Lake George native finds clothing line success in Utah By Maggie Morgan
maggie@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ Devin Lane was born and raised in the Adirondacks, but after moving to Park City, Utah, for college, she opted to stay there after her studies were over. The avid skier and new mom has added, Ò fashion designer,Ó to her resume and has created the now popular brand, Ò ZionÕ s Den Apparel.Ó “Zion’s Den,” is a play on the nick name Lane and her fiance gave their son. Ò We wanted something that represented him. We call him our little Zion the Lion, and with just talking we thought of lions den, and it soon quickly turned into Zions Den and it just Stuck,” said Lane. Started just a few months ago, the clothing line has seen astonishing growth since its August debut. What started as something considerably small has grown into a booming business that Lane had never imagined happening. Ò I never thought it would blow up this big, this fast,Ó she said. Ò We hit 10,000 Followers on Instagram our third month in, and hit 1,000 Sales in three months as well. We have been able to work with some amazing fashion bloggers, Magazines, and celebrities. I even just signed a contract today to start selling in a few boutiques in North Dakota and Breckenridge Colorado.Ó The clothing company, owned and operated solely by Lane (with a little help from some friends) began as a line that would sell beanies and headbands, but it quickly developed into so much more. Lane said that she was unable to find clothing that fit her style for her son Zion, so she started to create her own. Before the designer knew it, she was getting requests for even more types of apparel, and she doesnÕ t plan on stopping any time soon. Ò We plan on introducing screen printed Tanks, Tops, and hoodies as well as bags this January and February. We also will be adding a lot more items for adults,Ó said Lane. Ò We will be offering more wholesale prices, a ton of new items that will be both handmade, and not wholesale. We also have an entire organic line as well!Ó Lane noted that with the rate her company is growing she plans on having a studio workspace with full time employees in the future. Her story illustrates that thinking outside the box can truly help you succeed and age is just a number. The 2008 Lake George High graduate sees no limit on where her company can take her, and for someone so young it seems that she is already headed in the direction of greatness. Ò My biggest advice would be do not give up, and stay original to you,Ó said Lane. Ò I love being able to stay home with my son Zion every day and watch him grow. I am able to work from home, and never miss a beat, and at the same time get creative and always be designing and thinking of new things. IÕ m able to do whatever I want, and i love that.

Adirondack Journal Editorial
Abolish Protect the Adirondacks!
F
ive years ago, our editorial board called for the Adirondack Park Agency to be abolished. We felt that arbitrary enforcement, hypocritical acts and subjective interpretation of the APA Act have all throttled economic development inside the Blue Line. Today, however, we feel an even bigger obstacle exists. Ironically, this obstacle says it is here to Ò protectÓ our Ò natural environmentÓ and the Ò human communitiesÓ within the Adirondack Park. Their ultimate goal, however, is the exact opposite. Protect the Adirondacks exists to drive permanent residents from the Adirondacks, plain and simple. Aside from their own interests, they want a park devoid of lights, homes and businesses. They envision a playground they can drive through in their shiny BMW X5s, noses skyward, where they are not forced to interact with an inferior Adirondack citizenry. Having made their money elsewhere, jobs and the local economy mean nothing to the people wallowing in the shadows behind Protect. Fewer jobs means fewer people, thus more command by their like-minded. Shuttered schools simply mean less taxes on fancy lakeside second homes and vanishing downtowns means less blight enroute to the waterÕ s edge. So, today, we call for Protect the Adirondacks to be abolished. ProtectÕ s latest attempt at driving Adirondackers into moving vans occurred when the group filed suit in March of 2012 against the proposed Adirondack Club and Resort (ACR) in Tupper Lake. Now, two years later, after making its way through a handful of courts — the state’s highest court last week finally struck down the suit as being without merit. So, what exactly was accomplished here? And, more importantly at what cost? ACR developer Michael Foxman said the cost of litigation alone was seven figures. The rising cost of materials on his project adds even more to that figure. Then there was the cost to the state of attorney fees, courtrooms, judges, clerks as well as lost income and business taxes. The biggest price, Foxman noted, was paid by the Tupper Lake business owners that were unable to hang on throughout the process and became collateral damage as a result. Then again, isnÕ t that precisely what Protect desired? The ACR project offers real and tangible economic opportunity to a Ò human communityÓ struggling to keep its head above water. However, when asked about the motivation behind their inane lawsuit following the APAÕ s January 2012 approval of the project, Protect attorney John Caffry said simply, “We would like to kill it.Ó Nevermind that the Adirondack Club and Resort project was one of the most scrutinized developments ever to come before the APA board, including when Protect member and former APA Executive Director John Glennon served.
Published by Denton Publications, Inc.
Nevermind that more than seven years of fine tuning with the APA staff went into the ultimate 10-1 decision to approve the project, including a 19-day adjudicatory hearing that generated a 4,486-page transcript and a 22,000-page record. And, nevermind that the decision was not made easily or without sacrifice on both sides, which is what is needed for true compromise. IsnÕ t that how the system is supposed to work? Apparently, not for Protect — they filed a lawsuit after the APA board of commissioners approved the plan anyway. This wasn’t about making the ACR a more environmentally friendly project — it was about killing it. Foxman and nearly everyone involved are convinced that Protect abused the judicial process and litigated in the hope they would drag the project through enough red tape that the developers would give up. We wholeheartedly agree and there simply is no place in society for these strong-armed obstructionist tactics. And if you think this was a one-time deal, think again, their back at it with the land swap between the state and NYCO Minerals, with a goal not environmentally based, but to drive the company and 600 jobs out of the park, basically driving a death nail into the communities of Willsboro and Lewis. And again, they have been found Ò without meritÓ in the court system. So, how do we cut the head off this long-tentacled monster known as Protect the Adirondacks? Obviously, chopping their source of funding is paramount. Protect’s 2013 tax return shows just $268,000 in revenue Ñ not a tremendous amount when compared to green groups like the Adirondack Council at $1.7 million. Perhaps less people would donate if they knew that ProtectÕ s Executive Director, Peter Bauer, pulls in a cool $85,000 annually Ñ $35,000 more than the average salary of chief executives at other local not-for-profits. That’s nearly one-third of the organizations total revenue. Then, laws need to be changed so obstructionist groups like Protect are not reimbursed by the state for litigation they choose to file. That’s precisely what Protect tried to do during the appeals process against ACR. These groups shouldnÕ t be rewarded for these legalized harassment techniques. Finally, the media is to blame for giving these organizations credibility. Why even allow them a voice at the table when discussing these projects? What credentials does Peter Bauer have to make him worthy of contacting for input? Let us be the first to say that Denton Publications, for one, will no longer be Bauer’s bully pulpit. We call on other media outlets to follow suit. As Michael Foxman so eloquently put it, there are some preservationists who are pro-environment. There are others who are anti-people. Protect is clearly the latter, and they need to slink back to their headquarters in Niskayuna and to the other portions of downstate from which they came.

Turning Back the Pages By Jean Hadden One Hundred Years Ago – December, 1914 Cold winter days, colder nights
A man of unimpeachable veracity, living on River Street, Warrensburgh, reports that his thermometer registered forty-nine degrees below zero on Saturday morning, Dec. 26, 1914 at 7 oÕ clock. Uptown it was several degrees warmer, but hardly enough to be worthy of mention. The cold wave struck here Thursday morning and all night it kept dropping until in the morning it was down in the thirties. Christmas day was the coldest in twenty-nine years in this locality but Saturday was the hummer. There seems to be few places colder than here and our Johnsburgh correspondent writes that fifty below was registered at that place. Reports from Albany show a temperature as low as 52 degrees. Several water pipes were frozen in this village and plumbers were in great demand. By Tuesday there was a storm of sleet which coated the sidewalks with ice and made walking a difficult matter. In Chestertown, Bradley StaffordÕ s double sheeted chicken house proved not to be impervious to the cold, as he reports the combs of his most valuable chickens were frozen. (Note Ð On Dec. 18, 1895 it was 54 degrees above zero in Warrensburgh.)
Family celebrates gala wedding
Louis Ginsburg, 21, of Glens Falls and Miss Rose Mintzner, 21, of Brooklyn, were united in marriage Sunday evening, Dec. 27, 1914 in the presence of more than 200 relatives and friends in ShermanÕ s Hall, Glens Falls. The ceremony was performed at 8
oÕ clock by Rabbi Kantor and was followed by several hours of festivity during which the guests dined and danced and toasted the young couple. The ceremony was of the regular Jewish service with the ring and the sipping of wine from the same glass by the bride and groom. The attendants were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mintzner, of Brooklyn, and Mr. and Mrs. A. Ginsburg of Lake George. Telegrams of congratulations were received from about seventy-five relatives and friends who were unable to be present. Among the gifts received by the couple was a check for $1,500 from Isaac Ginsburg, father of the groom in addition to a check for $1,000 that he gave the young couple last week. Checks of $500 each were received from B. Mintzner, father of the bride and her cousin, Joseph Mintzner of Rutland, Vermont. The newly weds also received many expensive pieces of silverware, furniture, etc. Upon return from their wedding trip, the young couple will reside in North Creek, where Louis Ginsburg is engaged in business. The bride is the daughter of B. Mintzner, who is engaged in the wholesale fruit and produce business in Wallabout Market, Brooklyn. (Note Ð On Dec. 23, 1911, the Park Theatre opened in Glens Falls featuring silent movies and vaudeville shows. Admission was ten cents a person. Sam Ginsburg was manager of the theatre and in 1913 he left for Oil City, Pennsylvania to wed Miss Minnie Cohan. There was once a Ginsburg Dry Goods store in Warrensburgh. The last I read about this great family was concerning their connection many years ago with the Joy Discount Department Store in South Glens Falls.)
Legend to go on
George racing enthusiast will build a new motor boat to enter in the coming race for the Gold Challenge cup, which will be run on the waters of Long Island Sound the latter part of next July, representing the Lake George Motor Boat Club. The new craft, to be known as the mile-a-minute boat, will be named Ankle Deep Too. MankowskiÕ s former boat, known as Ankle Deep, burned at Buffalo last fall. The new boat will be twenty-six feet long, six feet shorter than the former one and with two powerful engines will be greater by 200-horse power.
Bad fall, split lip
David Haskell, the little son of George R. and Ella Woodward Haskell, stumbled and fell while ascending a flight of stairs at his home, Saturday morning, on River Street. The jar caused him to pierce his lips with his teeth. Several hours later the little fellow became ill as the result of swallowing blood and it was necessary to call in Dr. J.E. Goodman to attend him. (Note Ð This house, the former home of David Woodward, David HaskellÕ s grandfather, is today on the north corner of River Street and Ridge Street and in later years was known as the Don Egan house. The late Warrensburgh Historian, Mable Tucker wrote Ò There was once a Native American trail in front of David WoodwardÕ s house, on to the southeast corner of Hackensack Mountain. Upwards of two hundred arrow heads have been found in David WoodwardÕ s field.” This “field” is probably today the parking lot of Lizzie Keays Restaurant. The house that was to became David HaskellÕ s future home is now the Stony Creek Museum.)

Letters to the Editor
Make quit smoking a goal To the Adirondack Journal: It’s almost that time again. Time to reflect on the past year and time to resolve to do something differently in the months ahead. This year, why not make quitting smoking a priority? Quitting is truly the best gift you can give your family, your loved ones, and yourself. Shortly after quitting your blood pressure and pulse rate return to normal, your risk of a heart attack drops, and breathing becomes easier as your lung capacity increases. Your doctorÕ s assistance will more than double the odds that you will succeed, and he/she can recommend medications to help you deal with cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Call your health plan or your Medicaid Managed Care plan to find out which medications are covered. For more support, call the New York State Smokers’ Quitline at 1-866-NY-QUITS. Imagine next year at this time being able to say, Ò I quit smoking for good.Ó Andrea Whitmarsh North Country Healthy Heart Network Program Coordinator Ð Living Tobacco-Free Initiative
OTTG sends thank-yous To the Adirondack Journal: From all of us at Our Town Theatre Group, weÕ d like to thank our Community, from all the people in Johnsburg, North Creek, Chestertown, Minerva, and elsewhere for helping us make our 2014 season a success! We recently concluded our 2014 season with our annual Holiday Cabaret. We were so happy to see such a great turnout for this event. Huge thanks to all the volunteers who performed readings, songs, wrote skits, brought treats, cleaned up, and did all the behind the scenes work that makes it possible. A special thanks goes to Steve Geachter for his beautiful piano accompaniment. Thank you again for a great 2014! Dan Studnicky OTTG Publicity Chair North Creek
Response to letter To the Adirondack Journal: In rebuttal to Mr. Irv West Thurman, Letters to the Editor, Dec. 20, 2014 issue I was amazed at his anger and confused by it. I also believe that it would be wonderful if we Ò could all get alongÓ and show respect for one another. I personally donÕ t need to Ò understandÓ or Ò empathizeÓ what anotherÕ s life is about, all we really need to do is respect one another as people, their space and their property. What happened in Ferguson was a tragedy, one that would have never happened if Michael Brown had respected the shop owners property. If he did not assault the shop owner (all caught on tape), if he did not jaywalk and when asked by the officer to stop, did not react by assaulting the officer and tried to take his weapon. Where is the townÕ s rage over this? Why was he not taught to respect others? Why was he taught it was alright to take what he wanted and to disrespect law enforcement? When, if ever, was this young man taught morals or values? Rage, if I lived there, IÕ d have a lot of rage over this foolishness and IÕ d be mad as hell at Al Sharpton and all the others who stirred the pot that led to the burning of businesses in Ferguson. This had nothing to do with race, just with someone with no respect for other people, their property or the laws of this country. Where is your rage for this behavior? Who are the victims and who are the oppressors here, just who are they? What about the parents themselves for not wanting more out of life and thinking just taking what someone else worked hard for is alright? You say your wife is an intelligent and educated woman. How
did she get that way? Go to school, worked hard to get a good education so she could have a good job and a good life? I would think she did it to better her life like we all do regardless of race, color or creed. Why do not all people do that? WouldnÕ t the world be much better off if one and all strived to get a good education and if parents taught morals and values to their children and participated in their lives? You write of her being followed in stores by loss prevention people. Guess what? We all are, be it by cameras, secret shoppers or just plain floor people watching us. Me, I shop in well, let us just say I don’t fit in with the Macy’s crowd and I do get watched and I donÕ t care for they are doing their job and I don’t steal, therefore I could care less. They waste their time and I figure it gives them something to do and I go merrily on my way, taking no offence whatsoever. Do they target me? Sure they do, who cares. Could it be how I am dressed or do I fit the profile of someone who has shoplifted before? Have I been seen on camera in the same frame of someone who is shoplifting and they think were together, who knows and who cares. I have enough self-confidence and self-esteem to know who and what I am and to know they are just doing their job. As for Mr. Gardner, he was also doing something illegal (selling Ò loosiesÓ ), turned in and complained by shop owners who sell packs of cigarettes. His owns wifeÕ s admissions stated he was lazy and overweight and she told him to stop selling them. He refused because lack of work because of his illnesses. In both of these situations, both were breaking the law, both refused to surrender to police so I ask, Ò Were the police to walk away and say, ‘Ok, do what you want’ and fail at the job they are sworn to uphold? How about they (Mr. Brown and Mr. Gardner) just go willingly? How about they just don’t do the crime in the first place and show some respect? What a concept, donÕ t you think? No one is above the law, not you, not me. As for good police and bad police, yep, they are all out there just like there are good people and bad people and I have met both kinds, how about you? I would not do a police officer’s job for love nor money, nor could I bear to deal with or see what they see every day of their lives. God Bless them for their service for I could not do it. How many black men have killed a white cop? Did they not just protest in NYC saying, Ò Dead Cops/When do we want them?/We want them NOWÓ ? Do you realize they ran over a police officer and wanted the person driving to run him over again? Why would they rage, rage against someone that they donÕ t even know, to kill this person because they are a cop? This sounds right to you? Maybe we should talk of blacks killing blacks in which happens more than a white cop killing a black person or how the blacks target the white elderly and pregnant in their Ò knock outÓ game or killing a five-year-old white girl on her grandpa’s lap or three black youths killing a white girl for her bike. Are you outraged yet? I am outraged at any loss of life taken by anyone when it should not happen at all. Should you not be outraged at the blacks who to this very day are still selling blacks into slavery? Are the blacks really oppressed or is it a belief they have grown to believe, of stories long told of you canÕ t do instead of you can do, you choose. Maybe you should open your heart and so some soul searching. The difference between you and I is not the color of our skin it is in the outlook we have on life. The way we choose to treat others, the respect and kindness we show them in our daily lives, even if one or both of us is having a bad day and it is in our moral compass, values and beliefs. Lorraine Kovarovic, Schroon Lake
Tis the Season To the Adirondack Journal: With the holiday season upon us we are a society currently expressing our best wishes, joy, appreciation, and the like to our fellow man. We also are caring for those who are, in some fashion, unfortunate due to as assortment of circumstances. Gift giving is among the top actions as it is so rewarding to the donor and receiver in so many cases. One of the circumstances existing with so many people is that of being lonely, due to a variety of reason. Many are in a hospital, a health related facility, alone at home, incapacitated, in remorse, starving for friendship or communication. To many it seems there are as many as 48 hours in a day. Loneliness can be treated, or even cured by a simple gift, that of sharing some of our time via a phone call, or perhaps better, a personal visit if appropriate. The value of this gift can be a win win for everyone! Dennis Galloway Lake George
A response To the Adirondack Journal: I would like to respond to Mr. Irv Wests letter to the editor, you state that the young man in Fergeson was shot for robbing a store, and he did rob a store, he was captured on video surveilance doing just that. What you fail to mention, conveniently for your cause, is that he attacked an officer of the law, tried to take his gun, left the scene, and then came back towards the officer again. I know you will deny these facts even though it was proven by a grand jury. You my friend are the one that needs to open their eyes! If someone attacks an officer of the law during an apprehension, in my personal opinion you just gave up any potential rights you may have had. When an officer of the law gives you an order and you do not follow that order what do you expect? And as for the person who was asked for his ID without committing a crime, if heÕ s innocent, whatÕ s the problem? I see and hear about this type of thing daily and canÕ t believe it. The reason African Americans are held in so much suspicion is because of some simple statistics, listed here. The Ò New Century FoundationÓ studies Federal crime reports, and found significant differences in crime ratio between races, verified by the FBI’s NCVS, National Crime Victimization Survey, and The Department of JusticeÕ s UCR, Uniform Crime Reports, FBI Communication’s Division, 304-625-4995. They state emphatically that the Judicial System is not biased against minorities. Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery. Blacks are three times more likely to use a hand gun, and twice more likely to use a knife. Hispanics commit three times more violent crimes than whites, but the statistics are nebulous because sometimes they are classified as white, so it could be far higher. The best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percent of the population that is black and Hispanic. Blacks are 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against whites then vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit a robbery. Forty-five percent of black crime is against whites, 43 against other blacks, and 10 percent against Hispanic. Bill Coats Elizabethtown

Ash Anand talks past, present and future for Lotus Analytics By Maggie Morgan
maggie@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ Ash Anand, CEO of Lotus Analytics, has some lofty dreams for his company. After hearing what the company has already accomplished, itÕ s easy to see Anand means business. Lotus’ main office on Mountain Avenue in Warrensburg looks like a charming inviting home from the outside; upon walking in, your eyes are met with modern decor, a peaceful office setting, and upstairs a CEO’s office that is the epitome of success. Behind the desk covered in paperwork sits a stern, poised younger man-Ash Anand. He explains what it took to get him where he was today, and how he will work even harder in the future. Lotus is the only company in the country that is Ò into fixing businesses.Ó The organization essentially takes the reigns on a business and helps them figure out how to become more profitable and the best version of themselves. Anand said that people reach out to his company with their concerns, and his team handles the issues, tackles the problems, and gives the directions to succeed. Lotus currently has clients in 38 states and soon will be going global, opening a Candadian office in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The man behind Lotus wants the business to do it all, to reach out to as many people in as many disciplines as possible. Though the company primarily deals with analytics, there are also several other branches of the brand; Anand noted Lotus encompasses a development and distribution business, a construction business, an herbal supplement business, a software division, soon a car repair business, and in the future possibly a retail location. Anand, who quit his job at GE five years ago
to follow his dream, said he is, Ò trying to do it all.Ó Lotus may be a national company with some big-time goals, but Anand is committed to serving the community on a very local level. A resident of Warrensburg and a member on the schoolÕ s Board of Education, Anand wants to give back to the town that has welcomed him so warmly. Ò We want to be connected to the small community where people look to us to seek help and vice versa,Ó said Anand. Ò We are here to make a difference. If you have a business idea, are looking for help, or have something to
share, our doors are open. We are here to act and execute not just to talk about it.” For Anand, success comes from knowing the struggle of what it takes to get there and using that to fuel your ideas. Ò I came from a poor background,Ó said Anand. Ò High goals were natural, the fun was to achieve them. This is the time I can work hard so when I get older I can consult and manage.Ó Anand said the future looks even bigger and brighter for Lotus, and in 2015 the company will strive for doubling their growth and adding 15 more people to the office. They are considering what Warrensburg may need to further their
development, and are talking about adding a Sprint retail location. The CEO has met his previous goals already, in just five short years, and already has a new set to accomplish. Ò I had three visions: I wanted to be the most successful business in town from the ground up not nherited, to own an office building, and to help the community in every single way possible, and by GodÕ s grace I have achieved everything,Ó said Anand.

A Classic Adirondack Christmas Story
E
very year, our family gathers around an extremely well decorated tree on Christmas eve, in order to share a long held tradition of reading a Christmas story. Over the course of the year, we each spend a considerable amount of time seeking out the best possible story. However, my selection tends to return to an old favorite which was originally penned by William Chapman White, a part-time resident of Saranac Lake who worked as a foreign correspondent and a columnist for the New York Times and numerous magazines. White also authored Adirondack Country, which contains
some of the finest, and most accurate accounts of regular life in the great North Woods. He spent his time at Camp Intermission on the shores of Lake Colby in Saranac Lake, a property which now serves as youth summer camp operated by yhe NYS Department of Environmental Conservation. White’s fictitious account of a NYS Forest Ranger ‘s encounter with a local resident who had pilfered a Christmas tree from State Land rings as true today, as it was when he first put it to paper back in the 1950Õ s. The story, Merry Christmas, begins with a description of a Ranger, which is likely a composite of several of the old school Rangers, who once roamed the local woods. As White explains, Ò John Roberts is a Ranger. He is a grayed and gaunt man, as sturdy as one of the tall spruces in his care. For forty years he has watched over what he calls Ò his treesÓ . A few days before Christmas john came out of the woods following a human trail. It had started at a freshly cut white spruce stump, and came out on a back road. The heavy footprints turned down toward an unpainted bleak house a quarter of mile away. As John plodded down the road following the tracks....he knew what he US Falls, located on the outskirts of Elizabethtown is just as stunning in winter as it is during the summer was going to have to do. months. And the water temperatures are about the same. It was one part of his his Photo by Joe Hackett

Adirondack Journal • December 27, 2014 | 13 job that he never cared for. The trail lead right to Joe CarsonÕ s ramshackle place, where joe, wife and seven kids somehow lived. In the littered front yard small children were building a snowman. A pack of black puppies ran at their heels. John went by them to the old barn. On the floor inside was the fresh-cut white spruce. The Ranger went to the front door , which John opened before he could knock. He said to Joe, Ò You cut a tree off State Land, JOe. You know thereÕ s a fine of ten dollars for that. I didn’t make the law.” Joe nodded. Ò Yeah, I know, We canÕ t have much for Christmas this year, but I figured I’d get the the nicest tree I could, and I didnÕ t expect youÕ d see it.Ó “You can pay me the fine ....or you can come to justice court and stand trial.Ó “No use, “ Joe shook his head, “I just about got $10.” Ò The Ranger asked, Ò How much you got altogether?Ó Ò I got $11.38 in all this world, and we were going into town tonight to get some things for the kids Christmas, but we wonÕ t go now.Ó Ò I guess not, Ò John hoped he didnÕ t sound as miserable as he felt, Ò LawÕ s law, Joe. Give me the $10 and IÕ ll give you a receipt.Ó The Ranger took a dirty crumpled bill from Joe and gave him a receipt. He was angry at the man for having put him on the spot, and said, Ò ThatÕ s all, Joe.Ó Ò ThanksÓ , Joe answered. Ò Well, Merry Christmas!Ó As the Ranger hurried to the door to get away, he again had to stoop and push away the puppies that had been chewing on his shoelaces. He turned back and asked, Ò Joe, would you sell me one of these puppies? I have a nephew who wants a dog for Christmas.Ó Joe stared at the Ranger , then grinned, Ò IÕ d sell most of Ô em if I could.Ó Joe picked up one puppy. Ò How about $10 for this one?Ó Ò Joe stared at the Ranger, then grinned. Ò ThatÕ s a high price.Ó Ò ItÕ s worth it to me, Ò John explained as he took a crumpled bill from his pocket, handed it over and hurried out with the puppy squirming under his arm.Ó Two nights later the Ranger was in town shopping, when he ran into the Carsons on the Main Street. “Glad I met you”, Joe told him. “The darndest thing happened after you left the other day. People came from all over to buy those puppies, I mustaÕ sold seven.Ó “That’s fine, “ John said. “News sure does get around fast up here in the backwoods. Well, Merry Christmas, Joe!Ó Ò IÕ ll say, Joe answered, Ò Merry Christmas!Ó Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.

Young man – untimely death
Warren C. Aubrey, 30, died Monday morning, Dec. 21, 1914 at his home on upper Main Street, Warrensburgh, after a long illness of pulmonary tuberculosis. He was born in Fort Edward in 1884 and has resided in Warrensburgh for about five years, coming here with his parents from Pottersville. He is survived by him mother, Mrs. William J. Aubrey, one brother, William C. Aubrey and five sisters. The body was taken to Hudson Falls for internment in the Union Cemetery. (Note Ð Ò Sleep in the fresh air, work in the fresh air, play in the fresh air, live in the fresh airÓ and donÕ t even think about smoking cigarettes.) Wedding bells Basil R. Gallup and Miss Hattie E. Reynolds, both of Thurman, were married by the Rev. C.S. Agan on Christmas day, 1914, at the Methodist parsonage in Warrensburgh. Miss Blanche Walsh and John L. Frost were the attendants. John L. Bruce, of Glens Falls and Miss Maude S. Harrington, of Warrensburgh, were married by the Rev. T.J. Hunter, Thursday afternoon, Dec. 25, 1914 at the Baptist parsonage in Warrensburgh. The attendants were Miss Beatrice Harrington, sister of the bride and Scott Bruce, brother of the groom. The couple will reside in Glens Falls. Walter H. Clark, of Stony Creek and Miss Edythe L. Wolfe, of Warrensburgh, were married Sunday evening by the Rev. C.S. Agan at the Methodist Parsonage in Warrensburgh. Mrs. Alice Noble and Mrs. Charles Clark were the witnesses. Walter Hill and Miss Bertha Fenn, both of Warrensburgh, were married by the Rev. C.S. Agan, on Tuesday evening, at the home of the brideÕ s parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Fenn in Lewisville, Warrensburgh. Miss Nellie Whipple and George H. Badam were the attendants. After the ceremony the couple enjoyed a wedding dinner and many gifts, after which they left amid a copious shower of rice.
Church spreads good cheer
The Christmas tree party in the Wesleyan church, in Bakers Mills, Wednesday evening, Dec. 23, 1914, was largely attended in spite of the blistery weather and drifted roads. The tree was beautifully trimmed and well laden with presents for the Sunday school and the two district schools. Two teachers, Miss Grace Rickford, of Newcomb and Rudolph Swan, of Chestertown supplied a liberal amount of presents which were greatly appreciated by the children.
Chestertown news
Fred VetterÕ s team of colts and Mrs. H.S. DownÕ s bay team, both pairs, of late, are seen on Chestertown streets driven before double sleighs, demand approving attention. George McCauley, who always finds pleasure in driving a speedy horse, has agreed to exercise through this coming winter the quick stepper owned by Charles S. Wade, of North Creek. George Coulter, Barney Russell, Willis Kingsley and Duane Vetter hunted for rabbits on snow shoes, Christmas day, in the Starbuck swamp. After several hours of hunting, without seeing a single rabbit, the party returned home followed by their borrowed hound.
News near and far
An aeroplane factory is to be built at Saranac Lake. The first ever feature-length silent film comedy, Mack SennettÕ s Ò TillieÕ s Punctured Romance,Ó starring Marie Dressler, Mabel Normand and Charles Chaplin, premiered Dec. 21, 1914. Henry J. Williamson, statistician of the Department of Agriculture, is making the startling prediction that beef will sell for the unprecedented cost of fifty cents a pound and shoes will sell as high as ten dollars a pair within two years. A cow owned by a Vermont farmer died in great agony recently which baffled diagnoses by a veterinary surgeon. After she died several eight-penny nails were found in her stomach and a wire three of four inches long was imbedded on one lung. Two little girls, in Willsboro, ate the heads off a number of matches recently. One girl died and the other is very ill and might not survive.
Local news
Clarence Carpenter, a young man employed by R.D. Baker & Son, cut off the first finger of his right hand in a feed cutter. It was necessary to cut off more of the finger to cover the end and this was done by Dr. J.M. Griffin and Dr. Goodman. Mrs. Charles Lanfear fell down stairs Sunday, Dec. 27, 1914 at her home in East Thurman and severely injured one of her legs. A son was born Tuesday, Dec. 29, 1914 to Mrs. Lee Bailey, of Olmstedville. Charles and Mary Friedman are the proud parents of a fifteen month old son, Orel Friedman, who was born Sept. 30, 1913 in Glens Falls. (Note Ð Dr. Orel Friedman, 101, died Dec. 12, 2014 at his home in Queensbury. He was the widower of Blossom R. Levitz. The flamboyant Carl Zitell has been a summer visitor at the Leland House, in Schroon Lake, with his wife and his two Pierce Arrow automobiles, one driven by him and the other driven by his chauffeur, for several years. After the hotel burned this past October, Zitell has been working to raise money for a new water wagon for the community.
