APA approves zoning for portable sawmill in Newcomb

Newcomb also adds “Tourism Accommodation” to zoning code in Land Conservation areas

By Kim Dedam

kim@suncommunitynews.com

NEWCOMB Ñ A new zoning definition for Ò portable sawmillÓ in the Town of Newcomb earned approval from Adirondack Park Agency commissioners at their monthly meetings last week.

The definition was submitted as an amendment to the townÕ s Zoning and Site Plan Review local law, along with a definition for permitting Ò Tourist Accom-

modationsÓ in NewcombÕ s Ò Land ConservationÓ (LC) zone, which is zoned by APA as Resource Management.

Both new zoning definitions in Newcomb are subject to Site Plan Review by town officials.

According to APA documents, Ò Tourist AccommodationÓ zoning might trigger APA review if any Class A regulation were impacted, such as wetlands or waterway setbacks, height additions over 40-feet or for building expansion more than 25 percent.

Newcomb passed its resolution to amend the zoning law on May 23.

The town defined Ò portable sawmillÓ as a Ò motorized machine tool run by a gaso-

line motor, diesel motor, electric motor or chainsaw and (that) is capable of being carried or moved about, and used by individuals, tradesmen or professionals in producing limited volumes of boards cut from logs for personal use or profit.Ó The new zoning law prevents portable sawmill operation within 100 feet of any neighboring residential structure.

And it sets hours of portable sawmill operation from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

NewcombÕ s zoning amendment says that any portable sawmill used on any one property for 31 or more days Ò within any consecutive 12-month period shall require a land-use and development permit.Ó

APA staff planner Robyn Burgess outlined NewcombÕ s proposed land-use changes to APA commissioners last Thursday.

She said defining Ò Portable SawmillÓ points to a temporary use, which fits under the APA Act umbrella of Ò accessory uses.Ó Ò If itÕ s a longer term use, then it requires a land-use and development permit,Ó she explained.

With the definition of Ò Tourist Accommodation,Ó Newcomb zoning includes uses such as a boarding house, lodging house and Bed and Breakfast operations that might exist in a private residence. >> See NEWCOMB | pg. 5

JapaneseÊ knotweedÊ raisingÊ eyebrows Invasive species found all over state, says Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program

POTTERSVILLE Ñ If you visit the Black Bear Inn in Pottersville, you might notice a tall, leafy plant growing around the intersection of U.S. Rt. 9 and Valley Farm Road.

Referred to as Ò Chinese bambooÓ by Pottersville resident Pat Powers, the invasive plant was identified as Japanese knotweed by Emily Pomeroy, seasonal educator with the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program (APIPP).

Pomeroy referred the Sun to Zachary Simek, who is a terrestrial invasive species project coordinator with APIPP. Ò Japanese knotweed was introduced to the area quite a while ago Ð probably in the 1800s,Ó Simek said.

Simek said the plant was probably brought to the United States from East Asia in ornamental plants. He said the plant had some popularity, even in more modern times, because it can create a natural, green fence along property lines, growing thick and fast. Ò The problem is it can take over significant areas >> See KNOTWEED | pg. 5

Community Bank N.A. recently presented Indian Lake Theater with a $1,500 donation to help fund the organization’s community involvement and shared school activities. The Indian Lake Theater was purchased in March 2008 after being abandoned for nearly two years.

To reopen the theater, a 12-week campaign raised $160,000 from nearly 500 donors. The theater was transformed into a nonprofit, multipurpose community center, as well as a space for new and classic films. Visit indianlaketheater.com.

Region braces for annual ‘Ride for the Well of It’ Annual cycling event hopes for boosted turnout this year

By Christopher South

pete@suncommunitynews.com

BRANT LAKE Ñ For the fourth year in a row, the Hub will be raising money for Hudson Headwaters by sponsoring Ò Ride for the Well of ItÓ on Saturday, June 17.

According to Hub owner and event organizer Drew Cappabianca, The Hub decided to sponsor a fundraiser after a friendÕ family member used medical services provided by the Hudson Headwaters Health Network in Warrensburg. Ò Basically a friend of mine had a family

member who had a health problem and they went to the Warrensburg health center and got really good treatment. My friend was a cyclist, so we decided to do a charity ride,Ó Cappabianca said.

The event has drawn about 60 cyclists each year. Cappabianca said he would like to see the ride grow to at least 100 cyclists despite June being a difficult month to draw participants. Ò June is a tough month with graduations and school ending and preparations for the summer,Ó he said.

Cappabianca said there are three different courses for the Ò Ride for the Well of ItÓ Ð 15 miles, 30 miles, and 50 miles.

The starting times are staggered so the riders all get to the finish line about the

same time.

The rides begin and end at The Hub, located at 27 Market St., in Brant Lake.

Starting times are 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. depending on the distance to be cycled.

The three ride options are Ò The Casual,Ó a 15-mile out and back along the northwestern shore of Brant Lake; Ò The Fitness,Ó which is a 30-mile ride that takes cyclists along the northwestern shore of Brant Lake before looping through Pottersville and Adirondack and back, and Ò The Aerobic,Ó a 50-mile loop to Olmstedville that takes riders back through Pottersville, the East Shore of Schroon Lake and Adirondack before returning to The Hub. Ò There is also a health fair and regis-

tration includes lunch,Ó Cappabianca said.

Jessica Rubin, executive director of the Health Foundation, said four years ago the foundation was approached by The Hub with an idea for an event that would showcase a healthy lifestyle and raise money for the network, which operates 17 health centers from north Saratoga to Lake Champlain. Ò We see everybody in the Adirondacks,Ó Rubin said.

For more information or to register, visit bikereg.com/hhhn, or call the Hub at 518-494-4822. Registration for the event is $35 per rider in advance and $45 day of. Registration fees will be discounted for teams of four or more.

Chesterfield food pantry founded on a public/private effort

By Christopher South

chris@suncommunitynews.com

CHESTERTOWN Ñ About 100 families take advantage of the Chestertown Food Pantry every month.

According to Amy Culver, the food pantry manager, the food pantry receives support both from the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York, located in Albany, and from local sources, including the food pantryÕ s sponsor Ð The Helpers Fund. Ò We have to have a sponsor to have a food bank, and ours is The Helpers Fund,Ó Culver said. Ò They help people with all different sorts of things. They help people in the winter, to pay bills, to repair or replace things, just helping people in need.Ó According to The Helpers Fund website, the fund was Ò started in 1997 to provide financial assistance in the Tri-Lakes area of Warren and southern Essex Counties to individuals and families facing difficult circumstances.Ó

The Helpers Fund created a scholarship fund in 2002 and awards three $1,000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors.

Culver said the food bank also receives donations of food and personal items from local churches, as well as businesses such as Price Chopper, Tops and Walmart. Ò Panera bread donates bread once a month,Ó she said.

Culver said the food pantry has a Commodities Program on the first and third Tuesday of each month, when the food pantry distributes extra food it has on hand.

Culver said Ò extra foodÓ is food that is in addition to emergency food distribution. Emergency food is a three-day supply of food based on the size of the family.

Culver said on someoneÕ s first visit she cannot turn down anyone who needs food. After that, the distribution is limited to Chestertown and Pottersville residents.

The food pantryÕ s clients must meet the same eligibil-

ity requirements governing the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Ò The Regional Food Bank in Albany sets the standards,Ó Culver said.

The Helpers Fund offers $10 gift cards to Tops once a month so people can get items she canÕ t offer, such as milk.

In the summer, The Helpers Fund also offers $10 vouchers for Chestertown Farmers Market. She said there are various local fundraisers and food drives, including the US Post Office food drive, to help throughout the year.

Culver said anyone who wants to donate funds for the food pantry may drop them off at the municipal complex or to The Helpers Fund office at 6318 B Main St., Chestertown; or visiting The Helpers Fund website.

The food pantry open daily from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is located in the Chestertown Municipal Complex, 6307 State Route 9 in Chestertown.

Dot & Johnstock to benefit musicians, cancer patients Annual charitable event raises funds to help area residents with medical costs

By Christopher South

chris@suncommunitynews.com

STONY CREEK Ñ Cancer survivors Dot and John Bartell are hosting the 9th annual Dot & Johnstock this weekend to raise money for cancer victims, their families, and musicians dealing with medical bills and other hardships.

Begun as a way of raising funds to offset the cost of their own treatment, family and friends raised $20,000 to help the couple.

Since then, the Bartells have sponsored the annual event that benefits both the CindyÕ s Cancer Retreats and the Southern Adirondack Musicians (SAM) Fund.

Dot & Johnstock will be held Saturday, June 17, from 1-5 p.m. at the Stony Creek Inn at 6 Roaring Branch Road in Stony Creek.

The event features food, music, raffles and over 100 silent auction items. Suggested donation is $20.

Dot Bartell and her husband John contracted cancer in 2008. Having had live music, and hosting a lot of benefits over the years, Bartell said people got together, brought food, auction items, and raised money for she and her husband.

In the process of being treated for her cancer, Bartell became acquainted with CindyÕ s Retreats out of the Charles Wood Cancer Center at Glens Falls Hospital.

The program is named for Cindy Ginsburg, who went to a similar retreat program in the Carolina mountains and thought one should be created in the

Adirondacks. Bartell said there are now two womenÕ s retreats each year held at the Silver Bay resort on Lake George.

She said there are also retreats for men being held at a cancer center in Washington County.

Funds also help support CindyÕ s Comfort Camp at Luzerne Lake for children who are dealing with someone in their family having cancer.

Bartell said half the money raised is shared with the Southern Adirondacks Musicians (SAM) Fund, which she said was started about 20 years ago. She

said the fund started with the passing of a member of the Stony Creek Band who had a number of setbacks before he passed away.

Like a number of musicians, this person did not have insurance to cover medical bills, and the SAM fund was formed to help him out. Ò The SAM fund is for musicians and their families who are going through hard times. It helps with healthcare costs, funeral expenses, whatever,Ó Bartell said.

Despite being a benefit to help with

tragic circumstances, Bartell said the Dot & Johnstock is a huge celebration. She said there will be four hours of music, including music by musicians who have been helped by the fund. Participating acts include the Stony Creek Band, the Bluebillies, Johnny Cribbs, Mark Emanation, Soul Sky and many more.

Above: The Stony Creek Inn will be the site of the annual Dot & Johnstock to benefit the Cindy’s Cancer Retreats and the Southern Adirondack Musicians Fund on June 17.

ILCS raises $3.5K for McDonald Program Little learners hailed for reading efforts INDIAN LAKE Ñ Indian Lake Central School participated in this yearÕ s Read for Ronald McDonald House program.

Twenty-seven students came together to read and earned $3,495 in donations. Ò Indian Lake students did an amazing job supporting the families at the Ronald McDonald House,Ó said Nancy Damato, a program coordinator, in a statement. Ò We are incredibly thankful for the support of the students, families and staff at Indian Lake Central School.Ó ILCS was one of the 53 schools who participated statewide in the reading-based community service project that allows students to use their reading skills in order to raise donations to support the families at the Ronald McDonald House.

The Read for Ronald McDonald House program began three years ago at the Albany Ronald McDonald House. Ò One of the wonderful things about Read for RMH is that students are doing something that helps them Ñ building their reading skills Ñ while at the same time helping other families that are needing their support,Ó said Damato. Ò They are able to become involved in community service at a young age and have a powerful experience of the difference they can make in the lives of others.Ó Nearly 1,800 students earned just over $138,000 this year. Ò One of our students stayed at the RMH while battling brain cancer and this is a cause thatÕ s near and dear to the Indian Lake community,Ó said Liz Pearson, a fourth-grade teacher.

Tourist Accommodations in Newcomb were previously allowed in Hamlet areas.

They would now be permissible on Resource Management lands zoned LC in Newcomb. Ò Newcomb has decided that in their LC district, itÕ s appropriate to allow tourist accommodation,Ó Burgess said.

APA staff found the amendment Ò consistent with APA compatible use listsÓ to reflect needs and conditions of the local government. Ò Is anyone on your staff uncomfortable with that change?Ó asked APA Lead Counsel Jim Townsend. Ò No,Ó Burgess answered.

APA Commissioner, Arthur Lussi, who is on the Local Government Services Committee, commended landuse planners is Newcomb Ò This is staying with that movement of using regular homes as accommodations. Good for Newcomb for being Ñ IÕ m not going to say ahead of the curve Ñ with the curve,Ó Lussi said.

The Local Government Services Committee approved the townÕ s zoning amendment without dissent last Thursday.

It was approved by the full APA board on Friday.

New zoning laws in Newcomb take effect after the paperwork is duly filed with the state Secretary of State.

quickly,Ó Simek said.

According to Simek, Japanese knotweed can grow as much as two feet in a couple of weeks, particularly in the spring. It also doesnÕ t have any native predators or parasites that might hinder its expansion. Ò It can grow as quickly as it likes, and soon out-shadows native species,Ó he said.

Simek said the knotweed often grows along roads and it can obscure the line-of-site at intersections and block signage, requiring maintenance by highway departments, which costs money. Simek said because knotweed grows taller and quicker than native plants, it has to be cut more often.

Simek said although it is not a bamboo species, like bamboo it has a large root system. He said knotweed is also one of the first things growing on the landscape, and it robs growing space and uses nutrients from native species. Eliminat-

ing knotweed is difficult because if you cut it up the plant is easily spread. Ò It is usually spread by a small piece of the root or a small part of the stem being relocated. A piece the size of your thumbnail can result in an infestation,Ó Simek said. Ò Mowing that breaks apart the stems or digging contaminated fill are common factors for accidentally moving the plant around. ThatÕ s why you see it frequently along roadways.Ó Simek said the AIPP has some capacity to perform active knotweed management on public lands, such as state roadways, or where knotweed encroaches on natural areas of conservation, including the entire Adirondack Park area.

For homeowners, Simek recommends treating knotwood with as minimal amount of herbicide as possible. He said small groups, such as a couple of stalks, could be dug up. Larger areas require chemical spraying, but continual maintenance is required.

Town supervisor Craig Leggett

said he has worked with Simek on the knotweed problem in Pottersville, and he is currently waiting on a return call from the state Department of Transportation. Ò One of the issues we have to deal with is whose land is it on,Ó Leggett said.

Leggett said if the invasive species is down-land from the roadway, the town has some ability to act, but must get permission from the state to treat knotweed on state property.

Leggett said phramites are actually a bigger problem than knotweed.

For information about Japanese knotweed, visit adkinvasives. com/species_of_concern/japaneseknotweed/?in=terrestrial-targetspecies.

Japanese knotweed, shown growing near the intersection of Route 9 and Valley Farm Road in Pottersville, is an invasive species that is found all around the state. The fast-growing leafy plant pushes out native plants.

But as we prepare to bid our high school grads fond farewells from sweltering local gymnasiums, the journey is just beginning for our pals across the world.

Tens of thousands of students each year are preparing for year-long exchange programs at U.S. high schools.

Placement agencies are currently working to find good homes for these kids, including at school districts across the North Country.

Exchange programs are beneficial for everyone, and we should all support and work to strengthen them at our local schools.

To the Editor: I am writing to inform the residents of Putnam Station about the upcoming budget re-vote for the 2017-2018 school year.

The vote will take place on Tuesday, June 20 from 1-8 p.m. in the gymnasium.

As a Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), we work with the school to provide an excellent educational experience for the students in our small district, where funding is always a major concern.

The PTO fundraises to help with the costs of smaller, but no less important, things such as food for students at various celebrations, new recess equipment and more.

Whereas the schoolÕ s budget will cover the costs of the major activities, field trips, events and merchandise.

The outcome of this vote will affect the children of this district for the upcoming school year.

If the school budget fails to pass, the students will be deprived of activities and learning opportunities.

Voting yes will ensure that students have opportunities to go on field trips in which they get educational experience outside of the classroom.

It will provide all students with a yearbook full of many great memories they have shared. Voting yes will help keep the fall and winter sports programs.

A vote of yes will also allow the students to continue to have opportunities to use interactive technology within the classroom. It will help to keep many holiday celebrations and end of the year activities.

For many years now, we have invited members of the community to join us at the school for the annual Thanksgiving Feast. It would be a shame to see this tradition end. If the budget does not pass, other free community events/activities, such as pumpkin decorating and delivery to our area seniors, wouldnÕ t be possible.

Please come out and vote yes to support your local students and their education. We look forward to your support.

To the Editor: Hard to overstate is the hypocrisy of well-heeled commentators who ignore the very real pain a treaty, powerless to Trump Sun-driven climate change, would have inflicted on AmericaÕ s workers. Commentators bent instead on pouring trillions of these workersÕ tax dollars Ñ plus yours and mine Ñ down the Paris rat hole.

Just because Ò leadersÓ like Merkel and Macron collude with what amounts to an unavowed racket is no reason for us all to be forced to genuflect and pay.

As for the Ò scienceÓ behind the Paris Treaty, behind the scenes agenda-pushers trash paradise as Ò fantasyÓ Ñ yet claim they can bring us Garden of Eden climate.

Fact: Change, the sole climate constant, we canÕ t stop. Our sun rules with power 17,900 times greater than all humankind!

Racketeers and their media allies paint the last PresidentÕ s EPA pro-science... yet it absurdly tarred CO2 as air pollution!

Fact: We all exhale CO2 Ñ a life-sustaining, plant-feeding, green-keeping trace gas that now Ñ 250-plus years into the Industrial Age, still is just 0.0004 percent of our atmosphere.

The Ò tip of the tailÓ that canÕ t wag the dog.

They idolize IPCC Ò scienceÓ yet IPCC brayed Ò Himalaya glaciers gone by 2035Ó then admitted having Ò highlightedÓ researcher KotlyakovÕ s Ò maybe by 2350Ó to sell its straitjacket Ñ a Ò Lie-Big!Ó switch propagandists worldwide love.

Fact: Ò Himalaya GateÓ joined multiple other climate cons, like Ò Climate GateÓ (where hackers exposed 1,000-plus IPCCinsider emails and data files involving contrived temperature hikes, excluding cold sites but including warm ones and schemes to discredit dissenting true scientists.)

AsÊ PutnamÊ CentralÊ votersÊ weighÊ redoÊ of Ê budget,Ê considerÊ DresdenÊ Ñ Ê itÊ couldÊ beÊ worse To the Editor: I noted in your newspaper that there will be a public hearing at the Town of Putnam school regarding the school budget on Monday, June 12.

I was surprised that the Putnam School budget was voted down last month. I was especially surprised because the average Dresden property owner, such as my husband and myself, pay twice the school taxes that the average Putnam property owner pays.

The interesting thing is that, while many Dresden homeowners envy the Putnam homeownersÕ lower school taxes, there are Putnam taxpayers who do not realize their property tax dollar savings and their long-term solid and sophisticated classroom structuring.

While the property values of the Town of Dresden and the Town of Putnam are very similar, the school taxes paid by each town are very dissimilar.

Here is what Dresden pays for school taxes compared to PutnamÕ s school taxes: Town of Dresden property value with STAR deduction: $278,330,813.

Town of Dresden total school taxes paid to Whitehall Central School budget: $3,085,000.

Town of Putnam property value with STAR deduction: $277,437,137.

Town of Putnam total school taxes paid to Putnam Central School budget: $1,555,000.

I am sharing this information so that this knowledge can help people make an informed decision, when voting for a really wonderful low school budget that is giving the youth of Putnam opportunities and education beyond that of most of their surrounding school districts.

The Putnam townspeople are a very strong, community minded group and, I am sure, will continue to carry on the tradition of giving their children the very best opportunities that they can for their futures.

TiconderogaÊ taxpayersÊ owedÊ Ê Ê Ê explanationÊ forÊ waterÊ project To the Editor: I wonder if the taxpayers of Ticonderoga are aware that the U.S. Department of Justice is in the process of imposing significant (rumored to be six figures) penalties for failure to comply with the timeline established, by the town, for the water project.

Mr. Joseph Giordano and company were well aware of this possibility, and though the lack of progress in the water project, the EPA and DOJ followed through on what they had warned the town would happen.

I think the taxpayer is owed an explanation from Mr. Giordano as to why the work needed to avoid this penalty was not done in a timely manner.

Why is the taxpayer being hit with this bill when the work should have been done?

Everyone (town, state, federal) agreed that the timeline was very workable, yet the town failed to comply.

If this is the best the present administration can provide, we are in trouble.

cOMMENTARy

From the Mayor

We learned to share in Kindergarten

Colin Read

Mayor of Plattsburgh, readc@cityofplattsburgh.ny,gov

G

ov. Andrew Cuomo recently charged every county to develop plans to share and consolidate services. Many mayors, supervisors and county administrators were up in arms about the effort.

After all, most said they already shared many services, and many seemed to resent having their funding tied to their success in living up to the governorÕ s expectations.

My response was to bring it on.

There is not an organization in the world that functions at the epitome of efficiency and which cannot benefit from efficiencies elsewhere.

But, every entity has the same fear - that they will be a smaller fish in that bigger pond, that they will have to sacrifice some autonomy, or that their cultures will not mesh.

This seems to me to be a problem more with leadership and politics than with economics.

Too often, we run our cities, counties and towns from the perspective of expediency than efficiency.

I am glad that many of the prominent leaders in Clinton County and elsewhere in the North Country have stated that they embrace the shared services exercise.

Now it comes down to the leadership necessary to reinvent ourselves.

IÕ ve believed for some time that all levels of government should work together to deliver the combination of services the public demands at the best possible price they can afford.

For that reason, I recently proposed something radical in my region.

We in the City of Plattsburgh have long coveted our water resource. In fact, our water supply is so abundant that it could meet all the needs of various nearby towns, including their expected growth for the next few generations, and still not tax its capacity.

WeÕ ve even offered to share our water with the others, not at some sort of prohibitive fee, but at a rate guaranteed to be cheaper than their cost of providing water themselves.

We are also open to discussion of a water authority that is shared by all who are willing to have faith that various governments can work together to solve problems and minimize taxes and rates.

So far, weÕ ve no takers, but I remain hopeful.

I understand the reality of municipal politics. WhatÕ s good for the goose is good for the gander. IÕ m sure the City would be equally willing to instead buy long term water at an equally low cost from another municipality.

Either way, taxpayers save when leaders work together to share services.

Sex sting nets 12 arrests in Warren County Bus driver, radio DJ, corrections officer among those nabbed in sex sting

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

QUEENSBURY Ñ An underage sex-sting operation resulted in the arrest of 12 men over the weekend, Warren County Sheriff Bud York announced June 12.

The suspects apprehended included a deejay for area radio stations, a school bus driver for the Mechanicville School District and a Westchester County corrections captain.

Two of the suspects are from Queensbury, two are from Fort Edward, and one is from Glens Falls.

York alleged the men were soliciting sex online, assuming they were making arrangements with an underage girl Ñ or someone else arranging such an encounter Ñ but they were actually communicating with undercover law officers.

The men alledgedly made arrangements for meetups in Queensbury with girls ranging from 9- to 14-years-old, but when the men arrived they were confronted with police in SWAT gear pointing guns at them and were arrested, York and State Police Senior Investigator Karl Meybaum said.

York said some of the men brought a variety of drugs, alcohol, drug paraphernalia and sex devices with them for the purported meetups.

All the suspects confessed when apprehended, York and Meybaum said.

Some of the communications were conducted through social media as well as utilizing message boards, York said.

This sting effort, titled Operation Spider Byte, was conducted in a joint operation of the Warren County SheriffÕ s Office, the F.B.I. and the state police.

York said no direct victims were involved, but it was not known whether the suspects had committed other illegal acts in the past. Ò You would not believe the number of predators that are out there Ñ itÕ s sickening,Ó he said. Ò ThereÕ s a lot of this out there, happening right down the street from probably where you live.Ó He added that people convicted of sex crimes did not incur long enough prison terms. Ò When somebody is convicted of having sex with a 9-, 10- or 12-year-old girl, and they only go to prison for two years, thereÕ s something wrong with the system, and we need to change it,Ó he said. Ò This is an epidemic we need to do something about.Ó York added that there may be more arrests soon.

All the suspects were scheduled to return to Queensbury Town Court June 12.

York said that if any one believes their children have had improper contact with any of these suspects, they are urged to call the Warren County SheriffÕ s Office at (518) 743-2500 or the state police at: (518) 745-1035.

Convictions on these charges bear sentences from one to four years in state prison Ñ and registration as a sex offender.

THE AccUSED Among those arrested by the Warren County Sheriffs Office on a felony charge of second-degree Attempted Rape were: Gerald F. Harrington III, 36, of Lupine Lane, Queensbury; Thomas J. Clancy III, 21, of Concord Drive, Saratoga Springs; Roger P. Whiting III, 43, of Mallory Avenue, Queensbury; Jose Roberto Zapata-Cruz, 32, of Wendell Avenue, Schenectady.

Mark D. Hodges, 63, of New Louden Road, Latham, was charged with first-degree Attempted Rape, thirddegree Attempted Aggravated Sexual Abuse, both felonies; and fourth-degree Criminal Possession of a Weapon, a Misdemeanor. Paul R. Wilson, 31, of Ethan Allen Street, Fort Edward, was charged with seconddegree Attempted Criminal Sexual Act, a felony.

Arrested by the state police on a felony charge of second-degree Attempted Criminal Sexual Act were: Timothy Celeste, 49, of Glens Falls, an area radio deejay; Frank L. Gunther, 61, of Mechanicville, a school bus driver for Mechanicville Central School District; William K. O’Connell, 46, of Fort Edward; Thomas G. Abrams, 52, of Wappingers NY, Westchester County Corrections captain; Adam S. Hiedman, 32, of Schenectady; and Peter J. Fava, 41, of Halifax, Mass.. William O’Connell faces an additional felony charge of Attempted Rape.

Application period now open for ‘free’ SUNY tuition program Excelsior Scholarship will cover gaps up to $5,500 in existing state and federal aid programs

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH Ñ The state is now accepting applications for the Excelsior Scholarship program designed to fill in the funding gaps at the stateÕ s public colleges and universities.

Students have until July 21 to apply.

The program received 3,200 applications the first day of the program, Robert Mujica, the stateÕ s budget director, revealed last Wednesday.

The scholarship, which applies to twoand four-year public schools, will cover tuition costs for full-time students to fill the gap between existing state and federal aid programs.

Recipients may receive up to $5,500 or actual tuition, whichever is less.

Eligibility requirements for the program will be phased in. Applicants and their families must make less than $100,000 for the upcoming 2017-18 school year. By 2019-20, the number will be capped off at $125,000.

Across the North Country, 84.8 percent of families are eligible. ThatÕ s about nine points above the state average, according to materials provided by the governorÕ s office.

When fully implemented, the program will allow 52 percent of resident full-time students to attend a state school without paying tuition.

Mujica said the application process takes between 15 and 20 minutes. Applicants will be asked for their 2015 state income tax reforms and previous col-

lege transcripts (if applicable). Students must also fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid forms.

Applicants will be informed of their eligibility 24 to 48 hours after filing their application, Mujica said.

BIG IMPACT IN 2018 Assistant Secretary for Education Dan Fuller said the state has been conducting Ò extensive outreachÓ with universities since the state legislature approved the $153 billion spending plan in April.

The state Education Department has sponsored 40 events statewide, including at SUNY Plattsburgh, and will now start shifting their outreach efforts to

high schools. Ò We project in the upcoming year, 500 to 600 undergraduates will receive an Excelsior Scholarship,Ó said Todd Moravec, director of student financial services at SUNY Plattsburgh.

The initiative hasnÕ t yet had an effect on enrollment, Moravec said, because most prospective students submit their applications by January. Ò I expect the major impact on our enrollment will be fall 2018,Ó Moravec said. Ò Starting in spring, and continuing to fall 2018, I expect applications to Plattsburgh and SUNY as a whole will increase dramatically.Ó Incoming freshman classes usually clock in at 1,000, Moravec said.

Recipients of the scholarship must also plan to live in the state for the length of time they received the award. If not, the award will be converted to a no-interest loan.

Hardship waivers are available, Mujica said, including for illness and a death in the family.

The application can be found at hesc. ny.gov/excelsior.

The state is now accepting applications for the Excelsior Scholarship program designed to fill the funding gaps at the state’s public colleges and universities.

The deadline to apply is July 21. Pictured above: Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the initiative with U.S Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) in January.

Log Day Bay to be thwarted on Lake George waters Anti-BWI patrols to be stepped up on Lake George this summer

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE Ñ In the wake of the recent conviction of Alexander West in a fatal hit-and-run boat crash on Lake George that killed a young girl, any attempts this year to hold Log Bay DayÑ a precursor to the horrific incident last July Ñ will be fought by law enforcement authorities, area officials have said.

West had participated in Log Bay Day on July 25 2016, several hours before he piloted a boat that went airborne over another boat and killed one of its passengers, an 8-year-old-girl and severely injured her mother.

In a case that received national attention, West was convicted May 8 of second-degree manslaughter and seven other charges. Blood tests taken 11 hours after the crash revealed West had marijuana, cocaine and ecstasy in his system.

Log Day Bay, notorious for its drug- and alcohol-fueled revelry, has been held for about 20 years on Lake George on the last Monday of July Ñ and for this year, that would be July 24.

But area officials say it definitely wonÕ t be held again.

Since the trial, Warren County District Attorney Kate

Hogan and county Sheriff Bud York have announced they will do anything in their power to shut down Log Bay Day or any similar mass gatherings on Lake George that involve revelry Ñ and likely to impair boat pilots.

Lake George Park Commission Executive Director Dave Wick said this week that the commission has decided to shut down Log Bay Day, despite attempts Ñ expressed by veteran partyers on social media Ñ to move it to a different bay on the lake or reschedule it.

Law enforcement officials are monitoring Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and other social media for such efforts Ñ and they are using these venues as well as news media to spread the word that Log Bay Day is defunct. They are also seeking to spread the news that any other mass waterborne parties on Lake George will be dispersed this summer. Ò The word is out, weÕ re closing down the bays,Ó Wick said about both Log Bay and nearby Shelving Rock Bay, noting that the CommissionÕ s eight patrol boats will be enforcing a dictate from the agencyÕ s commissioners to shut down any attempts to hold the party on July 24.

Joining the Park CommissionÕ s law enforcement vessels on July 24 will be several patrol boats manned by the Warren County SheriffÕ s officers and their counterparts with the Department of Environmental Conservation, and perhaps a state police patrol boat.

Aiding this party shutdown will be enforcement of a new ordinance passed by the town of Fort Ann banning

parking on Shelving Rock Road, the main access to the two bays via land.

Wick also said that moving the party to another location will not likely occur, as Log Bay was originally chosen for the revelry because of its massive area of shallow, waist-deep water Ñ and other bays with similar depth have anchoring restrictions or prohibitions. Ò The overwhelming majority sees the ending of Log Day Bay as a positive thing for Lake George,Ó Wick said. Ò Not one person has said weÕ re doing the wrong thing.Ó In prior years, dozens of people have been arrested at Log Day Bay parties for such offenses as intoxication, fights, and drug related crimes. The party has also resulted in a substantial amount of litter in the water, as well as injuries to revelers.

Patrols active over July 4 weekend Also, this summer is the debut of the enforcement of Operation Drywater on Lake George, which includes a dozen or so patrol boats on the lake conducting Boating While Intoxicated checkpoints Ñ over the Fourth of July weekend and perhaps other key days.

These checkpoints will be both on Lake George and at land-based access sites, where boaters will be interviewed on their way both to and from the lake. Ò People may want to come out on the lake and have a great time Ñ thatÕ s fine Ñ but they must have a sober designated boat driver,Ó Wick said.

Parking hot topic as tourist season heats up Lake George Village Board debates allowing parking in yards

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE Ñ Whether or not village homeowners should be allowed to provide public parking of vehicles on their properties during local major events was again debated by members of the village board at a recent meeting.

Weighing the issues of providing additional muchneeded parking versus creating hazards and undertaking liability risks, the board discussed the topic at length on May 30.

With the village jammed with people and vehicles during the Fourth of July weekend, the Lake George Adirondack Nationals Car Show as well as during Americade, the board members said they recognized the need for parking, but were unsure of whether allowing homeowners to park cars in their yards was a wise move.

Village trustees talked about how the practice would require extra policing to make sure it was being done in a way not to compromise safety, abridge the rights of neighbors, or incur liability risks.

Hearing about how the village was sued years ago for a person tripping and falling after parking on private property, village trustee John Root said adopting the initiative would prompt a Ò free-for-all.Ó

Repairs to village fire boat okayed The board decided to allocate $7,330 towards repairs to the engine and drive train of the fire boat operated by the Lake George Fire Department.

Chief Jason Berry noted that the fire boat was used on 36 occasions, 12 of which were Ò legitimateÓ emergency situations, including overturned craft, boat fires and shoreline blazes.

He told the trustees that replacing the entire fire boat would cost $380,000, but accomplishing the repairs

would cost about $43,000, which could be paid primarily by the fire departmentÕ s budget or its reserve funds.

He said the Lake George Volunteer Fire Co., a private not-for-profit entity owns the craft Ñ and already has spend $17,000 to repair it Ñ while the Lake George Fire Department deploys it.

Berry said the fire company has budgeted $52,000 for emergency vehicle repairs this year from its vehicle replacement fund.

In other business, the village board: • approved hiring Elan Planning $3,500 at a maximum cost of $3,500 to apply for a state grant to pay for designing streetscape improvements at the north end of the village.

• accepted a bid of $7,820 from Plug-In Stations Online to provide an electric-vehicle charging station that can recharge two vehicles simultaneously. The charging station is to be installed in the James St. parking lot, and the purchase price is to be refunded by a state grant. The board is planning to have another charging station installed at the town center.

• decided to decline renewal of Mannix Marketing’s $2,500 contract to promote the village through websites and via email. Board members said that the prominence of advertising and listings on both the Lake George Chamber of CommerceÕ s and Warren County Tourism DepartmentÕ s websites Ñ and their respective Facebook pages Ñ were sufficient for village promotion.

Blais said that earlier in May he turned down an offer by radio station WCQL to publicize village events for $2,200 for the same reason.

• approved hiring William Kirby as a full-time, yearround sanitation worker at the village wastewater treatment plant at a rate of $14 per hour. Another similar position is likely to be open by mid-summer.

• heard from Mayor Blais that lighting for the Shepard Park amphitheater stage was renegotiated at a lower price, allowing the project to resume its progress towards a projected completion date of June 15. Donations toward the Shepard Park amphitheater upgrades project, which have to date been far short of expectations, have picked up in recent days, Blais said. He noted that one community-minded individual had donated

$4750 toward the project. He said several thousand dollars more was needed to meet a challenge grant offered by the Charles Wood Foundation, which calls for $25,000 be raised by the Village by this summer.

• discussed a proposal to place a 36-feet-high cellphone transmission pole on the sidewalk next to Dr. MorbidÕ s Haunted House near the intersection of McGillis Ave. and Canada St. The new pole would host a relaying that would strengthen SprintÕ s cell signal in downtown Lake George. Trustee Ray Perry said the 16-inch-diameter pole would earn the village $500 per year and be Ò unobtrusiveÓ at that intersection, but Blais said it wouldnÕ t be appropriate.

• approved paying Sterling Commercial Appraisals of Saratoga Springs $1,500 for an appraisal of 10 acres of village property off Transfer Road which the village may soon put up for public bid. Anthony Brody of Yankee Boat Sales has proposed to build a boat storage building there where a village sand pit is now located.

Bus firm partners with regional food bank to aid local backpack programs LAKE PLACID Ñ Leonard Bus Sales has partnered with The Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York, and six other regional food banks, to help end child hunger and raise awareness of the importance of supporting local food banks throughout New York State.

The Saratoga-based firm is supporting schoolbased backpack and food pantry programs that provide meals to children when they are not in school.

The company donated $5, the average cost to feed one child over a weekend, per attendee at the New York State Association of School Business Officials Expo, which was held in Lake Placid from June 4 to 7.

Mark Quandt, executive director of the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York, said the agency was appreciative of the donation.

Established by Feeding America (feedingamerica.org), the national Backpack program provides meals to over 450,000 children.

Last-minute donation puts Shepard Park project over the top Checks from anonymous local family put fundraising campaign over $27,000 finish line

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE Ñ A last-minute donation to a challenge grant campaign means extensive upgrades to the Shepard Park amphitheater will go forward Ñ with some of the improvements being completed this week, and the major aspects to be accomplished this fall.

Through the generosity of an anonymous local entrepreneurial family, the amphitheater Ñ which for generations has offered lakeside concerts, shows and special events Ñ will now be substantially upgraded as proposed, Mayor Robert Blais announced this week.

The Shepard Park Amphitheater will have new LED stage lighting, new sound system, several additional rows of natural stone seating, plus a platform for those with mobility impediments, he said.

A Ò Challenge GrantÓ of $25,000 was established in November by the Charles R. Wood Foundation, requiring a matching amount to be raised by June 1. The Foundation also endowed the project $25,000 in addition to the challenge grant.

Just before the challenge deadline, a prominent family that owns a half-dozen businesses in the area gave Blais seven checks totaling more than $7,000, a sum that represented donations from their various busi-

nesses, Blais said.

The new stage lighting and sound system are to be completed this week, and the additional seating is to be constructed this fall, Blais said.

He noted that the final amount raised in contributions toward the challenge grant was $27,000. A portion of that was garnered through fundraising events this year, including concerts respectively featuring the Stony Creek Band and The Switch rock group on May 27, The Adirondack Jazz Project on April 30, and the Lake George Community Band on Feb. 26.

These concerts yielded a total of about $5,000 toward the challenge grant.

Just two days before the challenge grant expired, the fundraising effort was about $5,000 short of its goal, and the project was in peril Ñ until the family that owns and operates six or seven area businesses presented their contributions that boosted the campaign to the $27,000 figure, Blais said, declining to reveal who the donors were. Ò The family wanted to keep their contributions anonymous because they didnÕ t want recognition Ñ but they definitely deserve it,Ó he said.

The mayor added a stinger to his announcement, airing a familiar criticism of the lack of participation of local store owners, most of whom live out of the area. Ò The total contributed by the family through those seven checks exceed what all the rest of the village merchants contributed altogether,Ó he said.

One hundred years ago: Late spring, 1917 HEARTBREAKING EVENT IN JOHNSBURG Mr. and Mrs. George Dunkley, old residents of the town of Johnsburg, residing on their farm about two miles west of Bakers Mills on the Oregon Road, were burned to death Tuesday night, April 10, 1917, when their home was destroyed by fire. Their charred bones were found in the smoldering ruins of the house by their son, Fletcher Dunkley.

Mr. Dunkley, when he arose at 5 oÕ clock in the morning, looked out of his window and was horrified to see smoking ruins where the night before had stood the comfortable home of his parents. Half clad, he ran a quarter of a mile to the scene and found in the still hot ashes the bones of a body which proved to be that of his father, lying in a position that would indicate that he had become overcome by smoke and had been burned to death in his bed.

A further search disclosed the remains of his mother in another part of the ruins, which tended to show that she had been aroused after having been partially overcome but had failed to make her escape after having tried to make her way to the front door.

Another son, Beecher Dunkley, who lived a short distance away, soon arrived and neighbors also gathered at the scene of the tragedy. It is believed that the fire started from an overheated stovepipe and that Mr. and Mrs. Dunkley, each about seventy-five years old, were overcome by smoke and probably smothered in their beds.

All the cattle, farming impalements, produce and other things stored in the barns and other outbuildings, were destroyed. The property loss is estimated at several thousand dollars.

MURDER ON HIS MIND John Shaw, a South Argyle farmer, crazed by jealousy, made an unsuccessful attempt to murder John Bain, a neighboring farmer, on Wednesday night, April 4, 1917, by shooting him with a shot gun through the window of his home.

Bain was wounded in the chest and right arm and was taken to the Glens Falls Hospital. Shaw was enraged because his wife, while returning from town in a carriage, overtook Bain on foot and gave him a ride.

Shaw came upon them and dragging Bain from the carriage, stabbed him twice with a pocket knife. The shooting took place at BainÕ s home a few hours later.

SCHROON LAKE Ñ The town board has again delayed making a decision on whether to revise their zoning law to allow for StewartÕ s Shops to move forward with their proposed downtown expansion project.

Turning Back The Pages Jean Hadden > columnist jhadden1@nycap.rr.com

Orlando Bryant, the Warrensburg hermit of Harrington Hill, who last fall (1916) was sent to the Albany penitentiary for removing chickens from the hen yard of Al StoneÕ s Halfway House, has been released and has been returned home.

Orlando was in the village yesterday, April 11, 1917, with his usual old tin pail on his arm. (Update: I have told many true stories over the years in this column about Orlando Bryant. I remember once reading that for Orlando the hardest part of his prison sentence was when, at the prison, they insisted on giving him a bath, something he had never experienced before and he fought frantically for his life.)

BRANT LAKE VETERAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE Hiram Hill, of Brant Lake, Horicon, a Civil War veteran, tried to end his life by stabbing himself with a jack knife. He inflicted two gashes aimed to pierce his heart, but neither reached the vital organ.

Dr. George Bibby, of Pottersville, dressed the wounds.

At first the old man was very weak from loss of blood, but he will recover.

RIVER DRIVE COMMENCES The Schroon River log drive has started in April with Michael McCarthy again in charge. Mr. McCarthy is a veteran riverman. Last year (1916) he broke all records in getting the drive through.

(Update: Retired forester Dick Nason gave a talk on river drives on the Hudson River, on May 17, 2017, at the Masonic Lodge in Glens Falls. He mentioned that only three river drivers were killed in this dangerous profession from 1900 to 1940.

I am reminded of the well-known story about veteran river driver of 42 years, Russell Carpenter, 60, of Warrensburg. He went down in his boat, on May 6, 1890, in log jam six miles above North River. His last words to the men on the shore were, Ò I guess I am gone, boys.Ó Fourteen months later his foot, encased in a river driving shoe, was found three miles below Thurman Station.
