NORTH CREEK — Though approaching the final stages of approval for a new Chestertown site for Cr eative Stage Lighting, owner George Studnicky III said the cost of building on the site needs more con-

sideration. “It’s a challenging site, so it’s going to be expensive,” Studnicky said. The property has a lot of elevation differences, so intensive landscaping will need to happen befor e they can put up a new building. Studnicky said they’d do their best to make it an attractive home for

The group’s next meeting is set for 9 a.m. Dec. 16 at the Panther Mountain Inn. The momentum for forming the gr oup occurr ed this fall after four businesses in Chestertown closed operations — Becky’s Bloomers floral shop, Adirondack Ural motorcycle dealership, Anywheres Diner and Bagel Girls Deli.

jgrybos@denpubs.com BAKERS MILLS — Following a night of carousing at J&J’s tavern, California Jane turns on her date, knocking him over the head with a tire iron and stealing his truck. Broke-down on the road to Baker’s Mills, Jane showed some leg to catch a ride to J&J’s for a music video shoot with Steven L. Smith and Metamorphose Jones. The band’s eighth video wasn’t inspir ed by a personal event in Steven Smith’s life, but he thinks the story of deceit will r esonate with viewers. They’ve performed their music in Nashville, all over the East Coast and even for a radio tour in Ir eland after his albums charted internationally. “But J&J’s is still my favorite place to play music,” said Smith. The band tries to be genuine and honest, he said. That openness helps them connect with th eir a udience, a s pecial f eeling f or Smith. That’s why they enjoy performing at J&J’s so much. The audience there is receptive to their music, and the band appr eciates that connection. He bills his band’s music as original Adirondack jam music, and said their style is directly related to the forever wild landscape. “It’s where we’re from. It’s the culture we live in,” he said. The most distant member of his band is the drummer, who lives in Hoosick Falls but is looking to move inside the Blue Line. Smith grew up in Brant Lake, and he and his wife tried settling in Saratoga. After a few years, though, it was traf fic jams and cramped spaces. He wanted to get back to the freedom of the mountains and raise his children in an envir onment that encouraged free spirits. There’s a deep connection to the landscape that comes with the freedom of living in such a wilderness-dominated place, Smith said.

“We can walk out our fro nt door and hike for 20 miles without ever seeing another human being,” Smith said. “That’s a lot of freedom.” That sense of independence has returned to his life with authority in the last few years. He worked construction until his sister was diagnosed with cancer . She died two years ago at Halloween. The loss of such a close family member changed Smith's outlook. “Maybe what was a hobby should be moved into the foreground,” he said. Those thoughts inspired him to start pursuing what he loves, making music on stage and in his acoustic guitar workshop. His band has appeared in early Grammy ballots for categories, including best country vocal, best country album and best country song. Nominated this year was “Can’t Take It W ith You,” r ecorded with Nashville performer Crystal Gayle, well known for “Don’t It Make My Br own Eyes

Blue.” The guitars he makes in his home workshop ar e pr emium pr oducts with a pr emium p rice. S ometimes h is g uitar s hop i s a bigger money-maker than his band, but a rough economy has put a pinch on luxury goods, he said. He’s made some guitars with Adirondack spr uce tops, a material first popularized by C.J. Martin’s early guitars, which ar e now high-demand collectibles. He had to order his tops from California because local sawmills don't pro cess the wood finely enough for instr umentbuilding. As a local, though, he’s been able to r eclaim s ome w ood f rom h is b ack y ard f or flourishes on his custom guitars, including a carefully carved flower for a headstock. He’d like to thank all those involved with his video and encourage viewers to shar e links to it fr om his website, www .stevenlsmithband.com, or Youtube channel, StevenLSmithBand.

Local students talk bullying at regional conference

Attending an anti-bullying conference, left to right top row, are Serena Ruzbacki, Taylor Moody, Shasti Conlon, Courtney Allard, Robert Kirker, Valerie Gereau, Jodie Seymour. Left to right kneeling are Gracie Vicari and Stephen Svobada.

LAKE GEORGE — Local students got together to teach each other about bullying and pen skits to teach others Oct. 21 and 22. The bullying confer ence brought together students from Johnsburg, Long Lake, and Minerva Central Schools. The pr ogram was led by Stephen Svobada, an experienced playwright and peer counselor. He encouraged students to be awar e of the three r oles people play in any bullying incident. “At one point or another , bullying has found a way into your life,” said 14-yearold Gracie V icari fr om Johnsburg Central School, who participated in the event. “But you don’t always ha ve to be the bully .

You could be the victim, and you could be the bystander , which ar e just as important roles as the bully.” The students shar ed stories of having been a bully, a victim, and a bystander. “We ar e intertwined in our stories and experiences,” said 16-year-old Serena Ruzbacki from Minerva. “We’re mor e alike than we think.” “Bullying is important to me because it has a terrible impact on a lot of people,” said 17-year-old Shasti Conlon from Minerva. “Bullying affects people everywher e, on all levels.” The goal of the anti-bullying pr ogram is to perform bullying simulations scripts written by the students at schools ar ound the ar ea to

generate d iscussion a mong students in local communities. Making students aware of the bullying problem will hopefully lead to a decrease in bullying. “Bullying in schools won’t go away ,” said 15year-old Courtney Allar d from Johnsbur g, “but we can make it better.”

Mary Mor o of North Cr eek, the first Board president; Kathy Dorman, secretary of the Board for many years; and Father Paul Cox, former pastor of Sacred Heart Chur ch in Lake Geor ge which provided funding for the agency from the beginning — along with St. James Chur ch in North Cr eek and St. Cecilia’s Church in Warrensburg. North Country Ministry is an ecumenical, not-for-profit outreach organization that pr ovides services to individuals and families in need in northern Warren County. The agency serves over 1,000 people monthly and covers an ar ea over 600 squar e miles. Their services include supportive counseling, advocacy and r eferral, a mealsite, a family clothing shop, furniture donations, an emer gency assistance fund, parenting support, housing r ehabilitation and adult living units.

North Country Ministry lauds volunteers WARRENSBURG — “Faith-filled people helping others” is how Sister Fran Husselbeck, North Country Ministry founder, described the agency she helped launch during a luncheon held for Ministry volunteers recently. In 1992, Sister Fran Husselbeck, North Country Ministry founder , and Sister M ary F lynn, s eeking n ew c hallenges, came to the North Country at the urging of Bishop Howard Hubbard of Albany. They appr oached many churches in the ar ea to find wher e the need was. At the luncheon held at Holy Cross Church in W arrensburg on Nov . 16, Husselbeck was on a panel of five who discussed their involvement with the organization fr om its beginning 20 years ago. The other four wer e Sister Mary Brady, part of the original founding gr oup and a past staf f member;

During the 20 years since North Country Ministry was founded, the outreach organization has gr own from a staff of two and a budget of $45,000 to a staf f of 12 and a $300,000 budget. They worked out of Leaven House in North Creek. North Country Ministry has sparked a number of outreach efforts in the area. With a few volunteers the Gathering Place at St. Cecilia’s Parish center was begun in Nov . 1992 to pr ovide social dining for those who needed food or companionship. Today the Gathering Place serves 30 to 40 lunches twice a week. Half of the 100 volunteers were present at the celebratory luncheon and were shown appr eciation. They wer e encouraged by Sister Fran who ur ged them to “let your lives in God flow over into the lives of others.”

Mid-century photo collection donated to Long Lake Archives LONG LAKE — An avid local photographer ’s mid-20th century work is now part of the Long LakeArchives Collection, thanks to his daughter. Duane Sutton, who died in 2005, was an inveterate photographer throughout his life, and the collection has roughly 1,000 images donated by daughter Patty Sutton Tokarz. Sutton served on the USS Springfield at the end of W orld War II and photographed the ship at sea from all angles. He also photographed the crew at work at their various jobs, mopping the deck and getting a haircuts. He photographed everyday occurr ences in the Adirondacks like shoveling snow off roofs in the winter , lumbering operations and driving the school bus. Also part of the collection ar e Sutton an-

cestors, including his mother, Angeline, and his father and grandfather , who wer e guides. Those photos include an account of a fishing trip on the Raquette River with Sutton’s father Clint. Sutton took many pictur es of his various trucks, his cars and, in his younger days, his girlfriends. Sutton also photographed such unique occurrences as the arduous journey by road — not railroad track — of the Belmont private Pullman car, the “Oriental,” to the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake. The photos have been copied onto discs by Hilary LeBlanc who has been instr umental in pr eserving most of the photographs on discs for the Archive’s collection.

Does a flawless candidate really exist?

Marine Academy a boost O to students, economy

he new Marine Academy scheduled to open at Ticonderoga High School next fall will be a welcome addition to the region’s education system and economy. Operated by Champlain Valley Educational Services and available to students from Glens Halls to Plattsburgh, the two-year program will prepare students for careers in the marine industry — a business that remains strong locally despite the national recession. The new venture has the backing of the Eastern New York Marine Trades Association, a group of marine professionals desperate for trained help. “There just aren’t enough marine technicians to fill all the jobs we have available,” explained Roger Phinney, executive director of the Eastern New York Marine Trades Association. “We have jobs. We want to hire people. We just can’t find them.” Marina owners and managers from Lake George, Bolton, Whitehall, Loon Lake, Diamond Point, Brant Lake, Schroon Lake, Hague and Ticonderoga attended an open house at the Marine Academy recently. They came away impressed. Rich Stolen, owner of Schroon Lake Marina and Loon Lake Marina, said every graduate of the Marine Academy will find a job immediately out of high school. “We’ll be fighting for them,” he said. Bob Palandrani, owner of Snug Harbor Marina in Ticonderoga and a member of the Ti school board, has been instrumental in the development of the Marine Academy. He stressed the program is about much more than mechanics. He said students will learn about every facet of the busi-

ness — fiber glass, painting, welding, woodworking, computers, sales and marketing. Many of those jobs, he pointed out, are year-round, full-time opportunities. That’s more than can be said for job prospects of many college graduates these days. The Marine Academy will also be a partnership between education and business, providing students with practical experience while giving marinas and others a trained workforce. Scott Andersen, manager of FR Smith and Sons Marina in Bolton, said he has been in contact with major marine manufacturers such as Mercury, Yamaha, Evinrude and Volvo. He believes those companies will support the the Ticonderoga Marine Academy by providing specialized tools, training materials and computer access. He believes academy graduates will be able to leave school with manufacturers’ certification — a huge asset in the marina industry. Andersen also believes the Marine Academy can also expand in the future to train adult technicians. The nearest Mercury training center is in New Hampshire, he noted, and the nearest Yamaha training center is in Georgia. The Marine Academy in Ticonderoga looks like a win-win situation for students and an important regional industry.

Letters to the Editor Where’s the reporting on Tupper’s ACR? To the News Enterprise: In the Nov. 26 News Enterprise, your editorial board criticized r esidents and gr oups who do not “support” the pr esent Tupper Lake ACR project without any reservations. As most people in our area probably do not know the details of the pr oject, it would be good to know r eporters have done their homework in investigating the subject. After 17 “adjudicated” hearing sessions, a mountain of expert testimony concerning all aspects of the project are available for reading. Have you read some of them and understand the thor oughness of the hearing process? Did you attend any of the sessions? The Adirondack Daily Enterprise has r eported on every hearing session accurately and compr ehensively. Did you r ead those summaries? Are you attending the APA meetings or watching the webcams? What do the realtors in the area and Lake Placid say about the likelihood ofACR being able to sell a substantial number of the 750 proposed luxury units in the near futur e? Almost everyone would like to see Big Tupper reopened, but that is not pr omised for at least thr ee years after the Gr eat Camp lots are sold. Are jobs for some locals the only economic question? Or do possible long-term financial outcomes and impacts on taxpayers if the project fails need to be considered too? What does the IDA say about the financial instruments that will have to be cr eated to fund the project? Does the need for a “valet service” for

owners’ boats (they will have to be br ought to the tiny public launch site every time use is desired) seem an attractive plan for potential upscale buyers? Have you walked and driven ar ound the property yourselves? Have you talked to local er sidents who oppose the present project to see what their objections are? Evelyn Greene North Creek

Thanks from the historical society To the News Enterprise: The Johnsburg Historical Society extends a sincer e “thank you” to the News Enterprise, The Chr onicle, and The Post Star newspapers for outstanding coverage of the events and pr ograms surrounding the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. Attendance was gr eatly bolster ed by the articles, and the society appreciates the journalists’ thorough writing and accompanying images. This or ganization functions on behalf of the Town of Johnsburg and the board of members is proud to continue offering interesting and educational pr ograms for the citizens.

Tupper Laker not pleased with editorial

To the News Enterprise: As a T upper Lake r esident and businesswoman I take great exception to your recent editorial, “Help a community under siege.”

Not one of those listed as authors, on that opinion piece, live in T upper Lake so what in the world do they know? Talk about outsiders trying to influence Tupper Lake’s future. I and many other T upper Lake r esidents are in agr eement that although the railr oad idea was a good one it has not done what it has pr omised it would do, and it has had over 10 years of trying. It is time to try something else. Ther e ar e no new businesses or additional employment created in the last 10 years that are attributed to the train. The DOT travel corridor is an asset that is totally under utilized and the communities along it should get together and capitalize on its use. I believe that by converting the rail bed into a trail we will get the most “Bang for the Buck” and we will be able to do it sooner than trying to build a trail all along the rail thr ough wetlands, over streams and rivers, etc. I travel a gr eat deal to other r esort ar eas and I have seen, first hand, what a r ecreational trail can do to an area. We already know what Snowmobiling has done for Old Forge so let’s bring it here to Tupper Lake and make the season last longer. Bicycling is becoming the leading re quested facility for vacationers. They ar e looking for dedicated paths away from traffic. Notice all the bikes attached to campers and cars going thr ough our community in the summer. Let’s give them a world class place to ride. Before you jump on the train bandwagon you better ask yourself which you would rather do, take a train ride once or be able to

ride you snowmobile or bicycle every weekend? A r ecreational trail thr ough the Park would bring thousands of people to these communities. Don’t use false accusations about our motives or disparage our ef forts to do something gr eat for my community of T upper Lake. I live here. I raised a family her e. I have several successful businesses here. Don’t tell me I’m doing this to support Lake Placid. How would you know? You never asked me. No, you ar e only listening to one side of the story and only to a few voices. I, on the other hand, have r eceived many positive comments fr om my fellow Tupper Lake r esidents in support of my efforts and so I plan on continuing my efforts to educate the community about this trail. This Rail Trail effort has nothing to do with the ACR project. All it can do is be of a benefit to them. Because of my businesses I am well awar e of what owners and buyers of million dollar pr operties ar e inter ested in and it is not riding a train. Extending the train service is like the old definition of crazy: doing the same thing over and over again but expecting dif ferent results. Hope Frenette Tupper Lake Editor ’s note: Assistant Managing Editor Andy Flynn grew up in Tupper Lake and maintains close personal and business ties to the community, including having r ecently served as a board member of the T upper Lake Chamber of Commerce in 2010.

Minerva rescue: Thanks for donations By Mike Corey

denpubs@denpubs.com A collaborative ef fort between the Minerva V olunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad and the Minerva Snow Travelers r esulted in a successful ef fort to raise funds for a wilderness ambulance. This rescue unit will be ideal equipment for emer gencies in the backwoods whether in winter snow or warmer weather off-roading. In snow conditions, it’s often called a snowbulance. Several major fundraisers this past summer and fall brought in appr oximately $5,400 for wilderness ambulance and trailer acquisition. The most r ecent fundraiser was the very successful pork dinner held at the Minerva firehouse; thanks especially goes to Steve and Diane Colletti for their generous donation of food and fine cooking. In October, Sporty’s Ir on Duke Saloon was the venue for a delicious steak dinner, where all funds raised wer e applied to the wilderness ambulance purc hase. Thanks to Sporty for hosting this event. Attendees at the Minerva Open golf tournament at Cronin’s in Warrensburg generously donated cash toward the purchase. Thanks also go to Pete Hornbeck of Hornbeck Boats for his donation and support through the raffle of a canoe this past summer. Thanks to all who have supported this important acquisition. The Minerva Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad and Minerva Snow T ravelers will be holding additional fundraisers. Donations ar e still needed. The Department is always looking for volunteers to join the organization. Please contact a department member if you would like to learn mor e about joining — your help is needed.

Alexander from page 6 again? But do these unattainable standards rest with the public or is it the media that takes an issue and blows it up beyond proportion. Americans gravitate to perceived winners and we are quick to jump onto and then back off the bandwagons based on the attention given by the media outlets. Like a scab, that we just won’t let heal, we continue to pick at it until it become far worse than when it started out. Our collective logic over the years has been if you can’t be trusted in your private life how can we trust you in the public arena. Yet President Clinton, despite his private flaws, proved he could compartmentalize the issues and served very effectively as the leader of the country. In the end we must decide what is the more important; a flawed candidate who can lead the country back to prosperity or selecting a candidate who appears near perfect and says the right things but is unable to address the wide array of issues affecting the nation. Is the election about the person, the job performance or the party? As is the case every four years, if nothing else, it’s always entertaining, but in 2012 we need to look beyond the feel good beauty contest and hire a leader who can solve the many issues affecting our country.

ple ar e not complying with the law, we will fine them,” said DEC Public Information Officer Lisa King, based in Albany. While the DEC will not be roaming the curbsides looking for batteries in garbage cans, they may take action based on complaints fr om people such as landlor ds and garbage companies, King said. The new law covers the following types of rechargeable batteries: nickel-cadmium; sealed lead; lithium ion; nickel metal hydride; any other such dry cell battery capable of being r echarged; and battery packs containing any of the above-mentioned batteries. The law does not cover: any of the above-mentioned batteries/packs weighing 25 pounds or mor e; batteries used as the principal power source for a vehicle, such as an automobile, boat, tr uck, tractor, golf cart or wheelchair; batteries for storage of electricity generated by an alternative power source, such as solar or wind-driven generators; batteries for backup that is an integral component of an electr onic device; or any non-rechargeable batteries such as common alkaline batteries. Manufacturers ar e r equired to collect the batteries and recycle them, and the goal is to keep toxic chemicals out of landfills.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Denton Publications and New Market Pr ess r ecently r eleased the 132-page “Lake Champlain Bridge Commemorative Book” to celebrate the new bridge connecting Cr own Point, N.Y. and Chimney Point, Vt. The book was r eleased on Nov . 4, just three days before the span was opened to vehicular traffic on Nov. 7 following an hour long ribbon-cutting ceremony. “We felt an obligation to bridge the states of Vermont and New York, along with the counties of Addison and Essex, by printing a book filled with the shar ed history of Chimney Point and Crown Point,” said New Market Press Publisher Edward Coats. “After all, it’s a commitment we make every week covering Lake Champlain community news in The Addison Eagle, the Times of Ti and six other weekly newspapers.” The 8.5-by-11-inch full-color glossy book includes 38 stories and more than 90 photographs and was pr oduced by staff at the companies’ N ew York a nd Vermont n ewsrooms. The collection of memories was designed to explore the history of the original 1929 bridge and the construction of the new one. “This book is a tribute to all those who worked night and day thr ough the frigid cold of our North Country winters and the blistering summer heat to r estore the Lake Champlain Bridge,” said Denton Publications Publisher Daniel Alexander. “None of us will ever cross this bridge without thinking of its importance to the people who live here and have come to depend so heavily on the strength of its existence.” The editorial of the “Lake Champlain Commemorative Book” honored Carl F. Peterson, editor of the Essex County News in Port Henry, N.Y., who wrote an editorial in 1923 that eventually led to the constr uction of the 1929 bridge. There is also a copy of Peterson’s original editorial printed in the book so readers could see how it all started. Stories for the bridge book were organized in four categories: 1) old bridge, 2) bridge transition, 3) new bridge, and 4) historical resources f rom b oth s ides o f L ake C hamplain. Old bridge: The history of the 1929 bridge is fully explor ed with timelines of its construction (1923-1929) and its lifespan (19292009); personal stories from people who had attended the Aug. 26, 1929 opening ceremony; a story about how the steamer Vermont III dictated the height of the span; and an investigative piece exploring why T iconderoga’s lobbying efforts to have the bridge built

in that community fell short. There is also a story about the lake’s first bridge, built in 1776 be tween Fort T iconderoga, N.Y. and Mount Independence, Vt. Bridge transition: When the original Lake Champlain Bridge was cl osed on Oct. 16, 2009, r esidents and visitors wer e for ced to make a 100-mile commute ar ound the lake before a free 24-hour ferry was opened next to the bridge site on Feb. 1, 2010. Stories explore the impact of the bridge’s closur e to businesses, c ommuters, l ake s ecurity a nd the ferry. There is also a story about blowing up the original bridge with explosives on Dec. 28, 2009. New bridge: Stories documenting the construction of the new Lake Champlain Bridge include interviews with the designer Ted Zoli and builders at Flatir on Construction; naming the new bridge; the impact the bridge construction had on tourism in Port Henry and Cr own Point; and the historic journey of the bridge arch, which was floated from Port Henry to Crown Point on Aug. 26, 201 1, exactly 82 years after the first bridge opened. Historical resources: The book featur es resources on Lake Champlain history fr om the Cr own Point State Historic Site, the Chimney Point State Historic Site, and the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum in V ergennes, Vt.

December 10, 2011 from page 1 Studnicky owns a lar ge parcel of land acr oss the street fr om the Bokus sand and gravel pit, just past Byrne Road. Preliminary plans call for a 73,000-squar e-foot building on the heavily wooded lot. This would mor e than double the current building’s 30,000-squar e-foot spread. If it wer e a perfect square, it would r un nearly as long as a football field on each side. The building would have a 450-foot setback, and the many tr ees should keep the building hidden fr om the road and neighboring homes. Drainage will be funneled into a pond and eventually to a wetland on the pr operty. It should be adequate for 100-year events like those this spring and summer. Building constr uction should take about 10 months and would begin with a 9,000-square-foot ar ea for administration. Traffic on a busy day could include thr ee lar ge trucks with six panel tr uck visits and the passenger cars and tr ucks of the curr ently 41-person staf f, expected to expand.

Need for expansion The impetus for growth is a new focus on Cr eative Stage Lighting’s manufacturing efforts. Their electrical shop cr ew builds power supply racks and computer racks for performance installations. They also make custom cable arrays to power their equipment, which includes a lar ge supply of lighting and ambient ef fect equipment for sale or rent. They keep four types of racks on the shelf to meet orders, and ability to turn orders ar ound by the end of the day can make or break a sale. “It's so by the seat of your pants,” said electrical shop head Bill Couzens. Extra room, especially for finishing cable arrays, would gr eatly incr ease the speed they can complete an order, allowing them to accept those last-minute fulfillments. More r oom would also give them options for improved equipment. Among Couzens' wish list was a metal-bending machine and a computer -controlled router.

Creative Stage needed to apply for a height variance with the Chester Planning Board to accommodate a taller ceiling for demonstrations of their lighting rigs. They've lost business because customers can’t see a demonstration, as Cr eative Stage can’t raise a stagesized lighting truss in their current space. This is also a thorn in the side of lighting directors, who may want to come and do some programming with the equipment before it goes to the performance venue. Studnicky told the Chester Planning Board that he didn’t want to commit to new business demands unless he knew there was a customer base for it. They’ve turned down consistent work that they could’ve had with a bigger facility , and Studnicky is confident that expansion is the right course for his business. They’d still be behind competitors when it comes to demonstration of their equipment but will be able to do full- or half-scale testing of their offerings.

Satellite office Studnicky said they’d like to keep expansion local, but they’ve been mulling over a satellite facility in the western U.S. A distant facility would allow them to keep their staff working in North Creek, and if the new office was strategically placed somewhere like Nevada, they’d a chieve m uch f aster delivery dates. Right now, order fulfillment can take five or six days to faraway places. With a western facility, they’d be within three days of any destination.

ness local, especially when they want to expand, is a major priority, she said. “That is where we should be spending 80 percent of our time,” said Pr ettGerbino.

Local commitment Studnicky started the company in 1977 in New Jersey and moved to North Creek when they decided to move away fr om local supply into mail-or der deliveries. His par ents honeymooned in North Creek and promised they’d retire there. After they made good on that promise, Studnicky vis-

ited them in the hamlet and fell in love with it, too. Staying as close to the current facility as they can is important to Studnicky . He has a s trong s ense o f c ommunity identity with his company supporting a scholarship w ith J ohnsburg Central and contributing to the Hudson Headwaters Healthcare Network. “As we look at the expansion, we don't want to ask people to pull up their roots an move to the other side of the state,” he said. They’re also working to cultivate support fr om government organizations. They’re working with the

Warren County EDC and applying to the center for economic growth and Empire State Development. They currently have 41 employees and ar e looking to expand by 25 over the next five years. They manufactur e lighting production sets and systems, power systems for lighting and ar e wholesale distributors for equipment. They also assign technicians to run those systems fr om a day to several years. “At the end of the day, we needed space for our manufacturing ef forts,” said Studnicky.

Good for economy Staff mostly lives within a 15-minute drive of work, Studnicky told the planning board. That’s something of a rarity in the Adirondack Park, said W arren County Economic Development Corporation President Vicky Prett-Gerbino. Her office is under a lot of pressure in W arren County to get jobs in rural areas, she told the planning board. Town supervisors tell her about the treks their constituents must undertake to return from work to pick up a sick child. These inconveniences add up and can drive families away fr om small towns.

NFL Picking Contest Standings

By Tom Henecker

hat a game. Sure, Big Blue came up a tad short, but, hopefully, taking Green Bay to the wire the way they did will give them the momentum they need to win out and make the playoffs. This Sunday night’s game at the Cowgirls could be the season for the New York Football Giants. It’ll be interesting to see who Colts fan John Gereau picks … Meanwhile, Brian Freebern regained his spot at the top of our little contest with his week-leading 12-4 r ecord. House-sitter extraor dinaire Sue Ringler and Donna LaVergne also posted strong 12-4 records in Week 13. No doubt the afor ementioned Giants/Dallas game is THE game of the

week. I predict a beat-down of epic pr oportions by Big Blue. I’m talking historic dr ubbing. A good, old-fashioned butt-kicking. A massacre. Big time destruction. You get the picture. There ar e, of course, a couple other games, but r eally, who car es? I guess Chicago/Denver might be inter esting, but I’m r eally tir ed of hearing about Tim Tebow. So is my lovely wife. She’s also not a fan of Tony Romo’s, bless her heart, and I had nothing to do with it. But, I digress. Please make sure you get your picks in prior to the kick-off of the Thursday night game, and r emember ther e will be Satur day games beginning next week, too. My favorite way to get your picks is by having you fill out the online form at www .newsenterprise.org/contests/nfl/. GO BIG BLUE!!!

Lady Burghers defeat Johnsburg By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — The preseason predictions of success for the experienced Bur gher girls basketball team gained cr edence Dec. 1 as the team combined solid of fensive playmaking and aggr essive defense to beat Johnsburg 44-14. After a slow start of fensively, the Burgher girls ratcheted up their defensive moves and dominated the action on the floor, Burgher Coach Scott Smith said. “The first five minutes, our of fense was sloppy , but then the defense stepped up and set the tone for the first half,” he said. The Burghers closed out the half with a score of 20-2. Burgher guar ds including Sophomore Merissa Hayes r epeatedly charged the Johnsburg players from behind, successfully stealing the ball as their upcounty opponents were headed downcourt. The Bur gher of fense then began clicking, as the girls took time to set up their plays well and passed to teammates with an open shot, Smith said. “The girls ran a half-court trap and it broke the tension,” he said. “The offense then started to move well, with players making passes to teammates cutting to open spaces.” Senior forwar ds Ashlie Mor ehouse and Alexa Bryant got into a r hythm in their jumps under the net, grabbing rebounds and putting up second shots that boosted the margin. Besides Hayes, Burgher guards Senior Jaci O’Brien and Sophomor e Kerrigan Roth wer e among those stealing the ball fr om Johnsbur g guar ds time and time again throughout the game. Johnsburg coach Phil Goodman said that the Burgher ’s sneak attack caught his playmakers off guard. He also said his team was hampered

because it was short-staf fed. Junior Mikayla Glode was not on court due to illness, and Kayla Wilford was also not feeling well, but she was playing. “We had a hard time scoring,” Goodman said. “We’re still fumbling around with the ball at this point.” But he said his players put in solid effort in disrupting the Burgers’ interior passing. Senior Ashlie Mor ehouse led W arrensburg with 14 points and seven r ebounds. Sophomor e Mika Mor ehouse

followed with eight points, and Kerrigan Roth contributed six points. Senior Isabella Szabo had five points including one thr ee-pointer. Senior Alexa Bryant also had five, and classmate Savannah Mosher added four . Freshman Karlee Duell scored a basket, and Senior Montana Sheridan hit a foul shot. For Johnsbur g, Astaria Myler led with six points, followed by Br ooke Denno with five points, Jillian Urbonowicz with two and Liz Or dway with a foul shot. ing for their Dec. 2 victory with 10 and 9 points.

Local woman dies after car lands in Schroon River

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com CHESTER — A Horicon woman died Monday, Dec. 5 after her sedan veer ed of f Schroon River Road, slammed into a utility pole and landed upside down in the Schr oon River, police said. The crash was called into 911 soon after 7 a.m. by a passing motorist who noticed the sheared utility pole and wires down. Responding to the scene were state Trooper Tanner Close of the Chestertown station and Chestertown fir efighter William Rohm. They waded through the 3-to-4 feet deep wa-

ter, str uggled to get the car door open and pulled Nadine A. Kilcullen, 49, of Hayesburg Road fr om the vehicle, State Police Spokeswoman Maureen Tuffey said. The two pulled her up an embankment, and then members of the Chestertown Emergency Squad administered CPR, Tuffey said. Soon after , Kilcullen was transported to Glens Falls Hospital, wher e she was pr onounced dead. On her way to work, Kilcullen had been driving southbound on Schroon River Road when her 2008 For d sedan went of f the asphalt on a curve in the road. An autopsy was to be performed to determine a cause of death, but she appeared not

to have suf fered major injuries, authorities said. Kilcullen was not wearing a seat belt when the responders found her, but it was unclear if she had it fastened while she was driving, Tuffey said. Authorities said that said icy asphalt may have prompted her vehicle to skid. Warren County Public W orks Superintendent Jef f Tennyson said ther e was thin “black ice” seen later in various spots in northern Warren County where fog and mist had frozen after contact with pavement. There was no guiderail at the curve where Kilcullen’s car veered off the road. Tuesday Tennyson said a county engineer

had inspected the scene to see if installing a guiderail there was warranted. He said that guiderails are normally only installed where there is a sharp drop-off. He said his department was awaiting an accident report from state Police before they make any decisions on changes to the r oadway. Tuffey asked that any witnesses to the incident call the state Police at 583-7000 or 4943332. “Although the woman could not be saved, a considerable, cooperative ef fort fr om many agencies was made to give her every chance for survival,” she said in a pr epared statement.

CHESTERTOWN — Julie Mosher Packer, a 47-yearold mother of twins, has a formidable challenge ahead of her , having r ecently been diagnosed with stage-four stomach cancer. But her sister, Marylou Pierson, said this week that Packer ’s up for the challenge, particularly with the strong support of friends, family and community. That support will undoubtedly be expr essed on Sunday, Dec. 1 1 when the community rallies behind her by attending the chicken ‘n’ biscuit fundraiser party set for noon to 5 p.m. at the Chestertown Fir ehouse on state Route 8. “We all want Julie to enjoy this event befor e she gets in too much pain from her therapy,” Pierson said. Packer ’s affliction was discovered after she went to the doctor in August, after enduring considerable pain, Pierson said. Glens Falls Hospital gave her pr eliminary tests Aug. 31, and Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City confirmed that she had stage-four stomach cancer, according to Pierson. The news hasn’t dimmed her zest for life. “Julie’s really in good spirits. She doesn’t even talk about not beating it,” Pierson said. Pierson added that Packer is embraced in the love of family — her husband Michael, and their twins Courtney and Connor — as well as many friends. The twins’ classmates at North W arren Central School recently expressed such affection to Julie, who has been a worker in the school cafeteria. The students of Eileen Lawre nce and Poul Carstensten’s fifth-grade classes sent car ds to Julie, in sup-

port of her “kicking cancer.” The young students also wear periwinkle blue to show their support. Julie said T uesday she deeply appr eciated everyone’s calls, expressing support, offering to help, and cooking up food and sending it to her house for her family. “The support I’ve had from so many people is just ‘out of this world,’” she said. “We live in such a wonderful community.” She said that in day-to-day life, most people don’t fathom how str ong the community bond is — until such a challenge occurs. “It’s tr uly a blessing to hear fr om each and every single person,” she said. Julie is also sure to witness the support during the upcoming fundraiser , which includes music by the renowned Stephen L. Smith Band — one of Julie’s favorites — and the group “Flipside 420.” Besides rousing music, the event includes raf fling off gift baskets and other activities. The suggested donations are $10 for adults and $5 for children, or $25 per family. Proceeds are to create a fund for her children, as Julie is not pre sently working. To send a donation directly, mail it to: Julie Packer, 10 Ferris Road, Chestertown NY 12817. Pierson said that Julie’s positive spirit lights up the lives of those around her. “The kids need her, we all need her,” Pierson said. “She needs a miracle, but we’re going have a miracle, there’s no question about it. Julie’s In very good spirits — she’s going to beat this!”

train depot and the Gore Mountain Ski Center. Joel Beaudin, one of the partners in North Creek's Copperfield Inn and a member of the North Cr eek alliance, noted the importance of transportation – how the hamlet has been r e-energized thr ough the use of busses and golf carts to connect tourists with retails shops and restaurants. He said that a survey conducted recently among train tourists indicated nearly half of all visitors, primarily fr om the Capital Region, had not been aware of the existence of North Creek prior to the train ride. The key to building r obust commer ce downtown, he said, was off ering attractions and services that prompt visitors to stay in town overnight. Butler and Beaudin both noted that while in years past the streets of North Creek had been virtually empty on weekdays, this summer it had been teeming with tourists when the train arrived – thanks to the ex-

pertise of the new railway operator , Iowa Pacific. Among the suggestions raised at the T riLakes alliance meeting wer e passing out tourism leaflets pr omoting the Chester Brant Lake r egion during the train trips from Saratoga to North Creek. Another idea was providing more amenities for snowmobilers and of fering transportation services to meet their needs. Clarke Dunham of Railroads on Parade in Pottersville, suggested that the gr oup devise and of fer pr esentations to tourism groups and or ganizations extolling the attractions and amenities in the North W arren area. Greg Beckler , owner of Natural Stone Bridge & Caves in Pottersville, said the Dec. 2 meeting of those seeking to form a business-boosting group had been productive. ”This was a good first step in getting people together and moving things forwar d,” he said.
