LAKE GEORGE — In an effort to boostboth tourism and seasonal spirit in LakeGeorge Village, municipal officials are plan-ning to develop two festive holiday offer-ings beginning in winter 2011: a First Dayarts and culture celebration and a holidaylights spectacular.

Mayor Robert Blais has begun buildingsupport for the first fest, to be patterned af-

ter First Night Saratoga, and Lake George of-ficials Vinnie Crocitto and Ray Perry areworking on launching Lake George HolidayLights Spectacle, a display and recurringshow of synchronized holiday lights andsound in downtown Lake George.

The two concepts were unveiled Monday,Jan. 10 at the Lake George village and townboard meetings.

Blais said he envisions that First Day LakeGeorge could involve various musicians andperformers in various venues around Lake

George on New Year ’s Day like Saratoga an-nually does New Year ’s Eve. That FirstNight Saratoga event, which drew about14,000 people this year, is New York State’slargest New Year ’s Eve celebration outsideof Times Square in Manhattan.

Blais sent a letter out to local businessesto garner support, and he said Monday he’sreceived enthusiastic response.

He said he dreamed up the idea after see-ing the crowd of more than 5,000 in Lake

Gentle gianttamed by time?Lake George mayor mulls re-election


LAKE GEORGE — For four decades, a gentle giant hasbeen at the helm of Lake George Village.

Six-foot-five RobertBlais has served as mayorof the renowned resortmunicipality since Nixonwas in office, the micro-processor was invented,and the U.S. Jaycees pre-sented Elvis Presley withan Outstanding YoungMan award.

He’s the longest serv-ing mayor in New YorkState, according to aspokesperson for thestate Conference of May-ors, who could only gaspwhen hearing this weekthat Blais was first elect-ed mayor in 1971 afterserving several years as avillage trustee.

In recent years, therehave been rumors circu-lating at one time or another of his resignation or retirement.

WARRENSBURG — Local youth and sen-iors alike may someday have a new socialhangout, as a new community center is en-visioned for the heart of town.

Local contractor Ed Corlew said this weekhe hopes to renovate the historic BonnieBrae barns, which have stood on Main Streetfor over 140 years, and turn them into a mul-ti-purpose facility that will cater to all ages.

Whether the building would be redevel-oped for use as an after-school activity cen-ter for teenagers, a home-base for the localFifty-Plus Club, or a local soup kitchen, Cor-lew said he’s determined to make it happen.

Located next to the well-known Oscar'sSmoke House, the barn was once counter-part to a grand villa which burned to theground in 1980, leaving the barn standingalongside a few other small structures.

Before restoration can begin, however, thematter of funding must be addressed, Cor-lew said. “This is for the community,” hesaid, “but I'm not Bill Gates.”

Corlew continued that he might have tosacrifice his construction business to get theproject going. However, he added that hehopes the project will eventually fund itself.

“It's do or die,” he said.Initially, Corlew is seeking to form a com-

munity-based plan for the center ’s develop-ment, and for that reason he is ready to forma citizen’s advisory committee.

“I have to get people involved and get alot of input to determine what’s needed intown,” he said Monday.

He said he’s seen the operations ofAdirondack Youth Center, which offers var-ious after-school games, basketball, com-puter instruction, ping-pong and air hockey,as well as meals and special events, in anadult-supervised setting. Such offerings

should be available in Warrensburg, he said.Corlew said that as soon as this summer,

he will be seeking able-bodied people tolend a hand in reconstructing the barn.

“It's the beginning that's always the toughpart,” he said, gesturing toward the oldbuilding which has boarded-up entrancesand peeling paint. “We need volunteers yes-terday!”

There's a lot of work to be done, however,as the structure, owned by his sister LaureenColbert, is uninsulated, old, and deteriorat-ing.

Corlew gazed at the barn, which needssiding, interior walls, electrical work andplumbing, for starters.

“If we could get some volunteers, wecould show people we mean business,” hesaid noting those seeking to get involved canreach him at 260-2785. “I’d like to see thisbarn turned into something people enjoy —it would really help the community.”

All-nighter includes contests, stuntsBy Thom [email protected]

WARRENSBURG — For months, a group of parents andstudents have been forming plans for a night-long celebra-tion of life, music and movement known as the WarrensburgHigh School Marathon Dance.

Open to students in grades seven through 12, the debutevent is modeled after the immensely successful South GlensFalls Marathon Dance that’s raised millions of dollars forvarious charities.

Warrensburg’s version, titled “Dancing to Make a Differ-ence,” is set for 7 p.m. Saturday Jan. 15 in the WarrensburgHigh School Gymnasium, and it’s expected to extend until 7a.m. Sunday morning.

The event is to include a public session for several hoursat the beginning of the event, complete with staged events,

live and silent auctions of donated goods, raffles, games andstunts.

The dance registration proceeds are to be donated to theNorth Country Hardship Fund, founded by North River res-ident Wayne Bukovinsky, victim of a 2008 motorcycle crash.The charity aids families who have undergone suddentragedies. Proceeds from the auctions and raffles are goingto support Warrensburg Central’s PRIDE behavior-boostingprogram. PRIDE committee members, along with WCS 11thgraders, are primarily responsible for planning the event.

About 150 students, most from Warrensburg High, havesigned up for the event, which is open to youth of all com-munities.

Terri Leguire, one of the adults planning the marathon,said local school district employee Karen Bailey, who hasgiven inspirational speeches at the South Glens Fallsmarathon dance, will be giving a similar kickoff presenta-tion at the Warrensburg event. Bailey, a cancer survivor, wasa 2004 recipient of the South Glens Falls event’s proceeds.

The South Glens Falls Marathon Dance, thriving since the1970s, raised $283,407 in 2010 alone for charity, and hasraised $2.2 million through its long run.

A Vermont radio station will be providing deejays to keepthe students gyrating virtually non-stop.

Local parent Terri LeGuire, one of the marathon dance or-ganizers, said she hopes the event will become an area tra-dition, as its forerunner in South Glens Falls has.

“I’m hoping this will be held annually and grow throughthe years,” she said, noting the generosity of area business-es, who have donated cash and food for dancers as well asgoods and services for the auctions and raffles.

High School Principal Doug Duell said the marathondance offered vital life-lessons to the students, and that hewasn’t likely going to be duct-taped to the gymnasium wallas part of the event, as was reported to the media.

“Its a great opportunity for our kids to learn about serv-ice to the community and do some good for people who needa boost,” he said.

Beware of fraudulent Internet transactionsOn Dec. 12, Al and yours truly at Alynn’s Butterfly Bed

& Breakfast received a reservation request from someonecalling themselves Ann Robinson for several rooms for 10days, for a sum of about $1,600.

We told her that when we received the check and itcleared we would book the rooms for them. Jan 6 we re-ceived a check for $6,800 from a bank in Illinois, with a re-quest to send back a $5,200 balance to a travel agent. Ibrought the check to a local Warrensburg bank and wastold by officials it was fraudulent and to take it to theSheriff's office. The police told me that luckily I did not tryto cash it or send back the $5,200 as requested.

We have been around a while and are aware of scamssuch as this. We have been in business for almost 12 yearsand often get fraudulent emails. One was supposedly from10 Russian priests who wanted to stay for 12 nights, andanother was from five couples on a honeymoon.

Unfortunately these scams are proliferating now withthe weak economy. Please beware — if any deal seems toogood to be true, it probably is. those who receive anyquestionable emails or requests, contact the county Sher-iff ’s office.

LAKE GEORGE — The village of LakeGeorge has taken a step toward establishinga program to promote a statewide “scubadive trail” on behalf of their municipalityand five other communities across the state.The program promotes the communities asunderwater destinations for divers and his-tory buffs, while advocating preservation ofthe sites of historic and environmental sig-nificance.

Last week, the village of Lake George se-lected and contracted with Sharlene and RobParker of S & R Underwater of Beaver Damsin Schuyler County, to serve as project coor-dinators for the state Underwater BluewayTrail Pilot Project.

The selection of this statewide coordina-tor was undertaken by a committee of diveenthusiasts, archaeological historians, mu-nicipal leaders and representatives of stateagencies sponsoring the project.

Lake George Mayor Robert Blais said thisaction was a “significant step” toward es-tablishing a network of managed underwa-ter scuba dive trails, a statewide version ofa project that has been developing during re-cent years in Lake George.

In the project, the village will be workingwith the cities of Dunkirk, Geneva, Oswegoand Plattsburgh, plus the village ofFreeport. Those involved will conceive, de-sign and lay out underwater trails in the wa-

ter bodies adjacent to their communities, in-cluding the Atlantic Ocean on the SouthShore of Long Island, Lake Champlain, LakeErie, Lake George, Lake Ontario and SenecaLake.

Under the waters of Lake George, ship-wrecks dating back to Colonial times havebeen examined, documented and steps havebeen taken toward their preservation.

History enthusiasts have characterizedthe wrecks as “priceless treasures” that re-veal life and warfare in bygone days that of-fer an exciting viewing experience fordivers.

The statewide project begins with docu-menting underwater cultural resources that

are suitable for frequent visitation, and de-veloping signage, brochures and other in-formational resources to inform divers, his-tory buffs and the general public.

In announcing the selection of a projectcoordinator, Blais said the scuba dive trailwill generate economic activity that has todate remained virtually untapped in thesponsoring communities.

“The village’s sponsorship of this projectis indication of our commitment to enlarg-ing the project to five other water bodies sothat each will have a series of interesting,cultural and historic dive sites,” he said. “Ilook forward to seeing the trail as it devel-ops.”

WARRENSBURG — A total of 16 employees of HudsonHeadwaters Health Network were recognized recently, asthe health care chain’s administrative services director Ali-son Williams made a donation to High Peaks Hospice on be-half of the group.

Also recognized were HHHN document and referral spe-cialists Lisa Lapointe, Jennifer Morehouse, Amanda John-son, Marjorie Rosen, Rita McCarthy and Kyle Anderson.

Hospice honors HHHN

BlaisFrom page 1

Nearly three years ago, some speculated he’d leave officebefore the village went through dissolution — to allow theprocess to take place smoothly, or without bias.

Blais, now 74 years young, stayed on through the villageresidents’ repeated rejection of disbanding, to face anothercrisis — the failure of the sewer main along Shepard ParkBeach, a spillage with contamination that was met withquick action and brought to resolution.

This past year, Blais said his plans to run for re-electionwere in limbo, and some folks suspected, again, that he wasretiring.

This week, he confirmed that he’s still unsure of his plansof whether he’ll run in the March election.

Blais has had a preliminary diagnosis of cancer, he said,and he may be starting treatment that will make staying inoffice a hardship.

Monday, Blais said, after meeting with a doctor, he’s like-ly to have a clearer outlook of what’s ahead, includingwhether he’ll run for office.

“I’ll be talking to my kids and see what they think aboutme running again,” he said with a characteristic smile.

ALBANY — Only a few days in office,Gov. Mario Cuomo has proposed to cut stateagencies by 20 percent, enact a state workerpay freeze, pursue ways to reduce costlystate mandates on local government, and toredesign Medicaid, which now representsabout half the cost of county government ex-penditures in New York State.

Cuomo’s passionate State of the Statespeech delivered Wednesday — which in-cluded a bleak description of its problems —was interrupted often by applause as he out-lined steps to lead New York out of its mul-ti-billion-dollar budget gap.

The plan called for imposing a one-yearsalary freeze on a large portion of public em-ployees, capping state taxes, and imposing astate spending cap at the rate of inflation.

Cuomo said he would establish a newSpending & Government Efficiency Com-mission to make state government more ef-ficient, including reducing the number ofagencies, authorities, and commissions byone-fifth. The commission must submit aright-sizing plan by May 1.

He also called for the creation of a newMedicaid Redesign Team to find ways tosave money within the Medicaid program,based on the approach used in Wisconsin,where Medicaid costs were reduced by $625million or about 10 percent. The team is tobegin work by Jan. 7, and must submit its ini-tial recommendations to Cuomo by March 1.

Cuomo also proposed to attack the quag-mire of costly unfunded mandates that areimposed on local governments.

He said a Mandate Relief Redesign Teamwould be formed to identify reducing inef-fective or unnecessary mandates that nowpresent a burden on local taxpayers.Theteam will include representatives from pri-vate industry. He also pledged to reward lo-cal governments that save money by down-sizing or consolidation through the award ofgrants for mergers or dissolutions.

Observing that New York State ranks firstin the nation in spending on education yetranks 34th in results, Cuomo proposed re-

serving a portion of state aid for perform-ance-based grants that reward districts forboosting pupil performance or for reduc-tions in expenses.

Cuomo said $250 million would be award-ed to schools that excel in boosting pupilachievement, and another $250 millionwould be granted to schools that slash ad-ministrative costs.

Citing that New Yorkers pay some of thehighest taxes in the nation, Cuomo proposeda property tax cap that would limit annualincreases in taxes to the lesser of two percentor the rate of inflation except by vote of thelocal citizens or extraordinary capital ex-penditures.

New York State Association of CountiesExecutive Director Stephen J. Acquario saidfor years, county officials have fought forsuch Medicaid reform and mandate relief.

“These mandates have contributed inlarge part to the exorbitant property taxesthat are forcing families and businesses outof the state,” he said. “NYSAC welcomesGov. Cuomo’s creation of a team to addressthe mandates that have overburdened tax-payers and local governments throughoutNew York, and looks forward to working to-ward real property tax relief.”

State Sen. Betty Little said such reform asCuomo imposed was overdue. Citing censusfigures that show population moving out-of-state, she said a cap must be imposed on run-away state government spending.

Lawmakers, she said, need to cut or elim-inate least-effect programs and services —particularly in light of the state’s $10 billionbudget gap.

Little said that the legislature must workwith a common goal to make those changes.

“The divisiveness of hyper-partisan poli-tics has to end and be replaced with a con-structive dialogue that leads to sensible pol-icy decisions,” she said.

However, lawmakers should avoid budg-et manipulation that only achieves illusoryshort-term gains.

“I’m hoping to see a greater emphasis ona long-term strategy to make New York amore affordable place to live and work five,10 and 20 years from now,” she said.

George Jan. 1 for the annual First Day Polar Plunge, and thought these thousands of visi-tors — and local businesses owners — would enjoy it if a variety of attractions were de-veloped for future years to keep them in the village all day long.

“This could be a huge weekend for Lake George,” Blais said. “We now have 5,000 peopleannually here in the village for the polar plunge — should we just let them go home afterthe swim? No way!”

Blais said the Lake George Arts Project could sponsor the event, assuring its artistic in-tegrity as well as its success. He said the event could be a fundraiser for the group, whichnow sponsors the acclaimed annual Lake George Jazz Weekend.

Holiday lighting show — all season longWhile Blais was talking about launching the New Year ’s Day fest, Perry and Crocitto pro-

posed to their respective boards the lights-and-sound spectacle for the village, to be pre-sented in recurring weekend shows between Thanksgiving and New Year ’s Eve.

The Holiday Lights Spectacle would feature lavish, extensive lighting displays in bothShepard Park and on buildings opposite the park on Canada Street. The tens of thousandsof lights would not only offer an ongoing display, but be computer-controlled to be syn-chronized to recorded music for recurring 15-minute shows, three to four nights per week,they said.

Such shows, like in Florida’s Hollywood Studios and the city of St. Augustine, annuallydraw tens of thousands of people, Crocitto said.

“A festival of lights like this could draw people from hundreds of miles away,” Crocittosaid. Crocitto and Perry showed a DVD recording Monday of such a festival to their re-spective boards, which responded with enthusiasm.

Crocitto said that during the holiday season, decked-out trolleys could run between LakeGeorge and the outlet malls on state Rte. 9 in Queensbury to shuttle shoppers into the vil-lage for the light shows.

Perry said such a festival of lights could be a major boost to tourism.“This could draw national attention to Lake George,” he said, predicting it could be

launched as soon as next November. “It could be a wild success.”Perry said it would be a vital boost to Lake George businesses in an off-season.“This could breathe new life into Lake George,” Perry added.Perry and Crocitto said the lighting display and shows could be bankrolled by occupan-

cy tax receipts. Perry suggested garnering corporate sponsorships — General Electric, hesaid, would be a natural backer. Crocitto said the cost of the lighting and infrastructurecould be bonded by the two municipalities and paid off over several years.

Crocitto estimated the cost of the display and shows and at $50,000 or so annually, withthe sum being split between the village and town, and paid for in occupancy tax receipts.

“It will put heads in beds,” he said of the anticipated overnight stays.

Wheeler’s lights pledged to VillageIn a separate but related matter, Charles Wheeler of Lake George has offered to donate

his extensive holiday light displays to the village. Through a local newspaper, he had soughtto donate them to a family, but decided that since those responding didn’t have appropri-ate landscaping to accommodate them, Blais reported, Wheeler decided to give them to LakeGeorge Village to boost the municipality’s annual lighting display in Shepard Park.

Village officials expressed enthusiasm for the donation, and said the display would bewelcomed by residents and visitors alike.

•100 Years Ago – January, 1911•He never heard the train approaching

Jeremiah Hotchkiss, 70, a deaf-mute of Glens Falls, wasinstantly killed and mangled beyond recognition Jan. 19,1911 by a Delaware and Hudson passenger engine near therailroad station in that city. Train engineer John King, saidhe did not see the man and knew nothing was amiss until hefelt a slight jar. The fireman was sent to investigate andfound the deaf mute’s mangled body about 15 feet from theengine. It is believed that Hotchkiss was walking the tracksto John St. and no one witnessed the accident. Engineer Kingran down and killed another deaf mute on the Platt St. cross-ing in April, 1910 in Glens Falls. The victim was a residentof Pottersville and his body was taken there for burial.

Undertaker assumed he was deadOwing to a misunderstood telephone message, Edward

Chevalley, the proprietor of the well-known roadhouse atstop 17 on the Schenectady-Albany road, who is sufferingfrom cancer, came to his senses the night of Jan. 7, 1911 justin time to ask an Albany undertaker who was at work on hisbody, what the trouble was. It seems that Chevalley had asevere relapse and his mother, who lives in Albany, was tele-phoned that her son had died and therefore sent an under-taker to the house. While the undertaker was busy layingout the body, Chevalley suddenly sat up in bed and askedfor an explanation.

They turned tail and ranGeorge Boyce started from Wells to go to Thurman and

when he arrived at the railroad crossing at The Glen, thenorthbound passenger train was just leaving the station. Thehorses became frightened and turned completely around,throwing Mr. Boyce out and he landed in a snow drift unin-jured. The team than ran up to the railway track two milesto what is known as the Anderson Brook Bridge. The traincame along up and the trainmen found that one horse hadfallen through the bridge. They cut the harness, letting thathorse down through the bridge. The animal sustained con-siderable many bruises. The other horse, above the bridge,was unhurt. Mr. Boyce hired a horse to hitch with his unin-jured horse and continued on his journey to Thurman.

New tuberculosis asylum in North Creek“The Gables,” a building at North Creek owned by Dr. Lee

Somerville, was erected by the late Dr. Thomas C. Durantwho was at one time president of the Adirondack Railroad.The Warren County Board of Supervisors recently appro-priated $10,000 for its purchase, the property to be used asa County Hospital for tubercular patients. (Note…In themid-1860s, when Dr. Durant was vice-president of the UnionPacific Company, he is remembered for missing the hammerblow at the golden spike in ceremonies at Promontory Point,Utah. He was however, one of the great men of his day. Hedied in 1885 in North Creek.)

Emma Hayes resided with her granddaughter, Mrs. Nel-son Dufresne. Full of years, loved by her children and grand-children and esteemed and honored by a large circle offriends and acquaintances, this good woman has gone to re-ceive the reward assured to those who truly serve the Lordas she has done. Since 1864 she has been a faithful commu-nicant of the Church of the Holy Cross in Warrensburgh.

Wheeling and dealing with horsesG.R. Smith of Johnsburgh is the proud owner of the hand-

somest cutter in town. Chester Mitchell has sold his farm inMinerva to Orrin Kellogg.

Henry Brown, foreman of the Eagle Nest Club’s propertyat Blue Mountain Lake was recently in Warrensburgh to buya team and found just what he wanted at the farm of ArthurMorrison. He drove home with a fine pair of horses forwhich he paid $500. Mr. Morrison bought the team from Eu-gene Murphy of Chestertown.

In other news, at the home of William LaFlure in Pot-tersville there is much rejoicing over the arrival of a son whocame on Christmas night. The question is, will youngLaFlure be as good a horse trader as is his grandfather, Un-cle Joe LaFlure?

Friday, Jan. 20, 1911 of cancer at the home of his daughter,Mrs. Hiram Ross. He has two other daughters and three sonsto mourn his loss.

Isincerely hope you’ve noticed someimprovements to your free commu-nity newspaper from Denton Publi-

cations recently. Through the last severalmonths our senior managers and editorshave been discussing our papers’ newscontent and how we can best serve thecommunities where we distribute the pa-pers. In most of those communities fewerthan 20 percent of the homes receive adaily newspaper. Between radio and tele-vision broadcast schedules and limitedhigh speed Internet connections in ourrural areas, it may be difficult to keep upon all the local news.

Since our newspapers reach nearly 100percent of the homes in the region and are read regu-larly by 83 percent of those homes according to our2010 CVC Readership Audit, no other medium canmatch the saturation coverage we provide each week.

Additionally, the major benefit to a weekly newspa-per in these fast-paced times is the simple fact that wefit around your schedule, not you around us, which iswhy our publications consistently earn high readershipmarks.

In our recent self analysis, we realized we needed to— and can do — a better, more efficient job at coveringand reporting local news.

A few locally written articles and a couple of pressreleases just aren’t good enough, especially in thesetimes. We need to provide a complete recap of all themajor news affecting the area, a better sports roundup,more photographs, death and birth notices and uniquehuman-interest features generated by our news staff.We also reached the conclusion that our editorial staffneeded to work more as a news-gathering team ratherthan stand-alone reporters with little or no connectionto each other.

The first step in our reclamation process was to em-power our Managing Editor John Gereau by removingthe many chore functions he handles daily and allow-ing him greater control over the news staff. John beganhis news career with the Times of Ti before moving onto the Post Star as one of their lead reporters. To assistJohn we’ve recently hired Andy Flynn, former VIC pub-lic relations director and former managing editor forthe Adirondack Daily Enterprise and Lake Placid

News. Andy will serve as John’s imme-diate backup and will share administra-tive duties while bringing his manyyears of writing and editing to our solidlocal team. We anticipate his influenceover our local coverage will take shapequickly in the near future.

Keith Lobdell has rejoined the teamafter spending several years as editor ofthe Whitehall Times, part of the Manches-ter Newspaper Group. In the short timeKeith has been back at the helm of theValley News, we’ve seen a sharp increasein story count and improved sports cov-erage. Keith’s impact on the northernpapers has made quite an impression on

how to crank out news copy and cover a wide region.Joining Lobdell in our northern group is Jeremiah Pa-

pineau, Sarah Cronk, and Chris Morris. Rounding outour news team to the south are 30-plus year veteransFred Herbst, Thom Randall, and Lindsay Yandon andphotographer Nancy Frasier.

While most major newspapers are reducing staff andtightening their news coverage, at the same time theyare losing subscribers and increasing the amount theycharge for the news.

At Denton we believe, with the continued support ofthe business community, we can increase employmentand our news coverage while providing, free deliveryof the local news both in print and online.

The major difference between our approach and thatof the major dailies in the area revolves around owner-ship. We are locally owned and managed versus corpo-rately owned by entities who have little or no roots tothe community and whose first priority must be totheir out-of-town shareholders not their local readers,advertisers or employees.

These are difficult times we are all going throughand more and more it’s becoming a Goliath world, withsmall mom-and-pop local businesses giving way tolarge corporate chains. Our goal here at Denton Publi-cations is to remain strong, serve our communities andcontinue the tradition of a free press here in the NorthCountry.

BOLTON — The state’s recent reclassifi-cation of Edgecomb Pond Dam as a “high-hazard”structure has triggered a require-ment of the town of Bolton to conduct an en-gineering analysis, undertake safety up-grades, and prepare an emergency actionplan in the case of a dam breech.

Edgecomb Pond Dam has been holdingback drinking water without incident inBolton since 1979. Following the failure ofthe Hadlock Pond Dam in 2005, the state De-partment of Environmental Conservationinstituted tighter regulations for all dams,and the process prompted the re-classifica-tion. Responding to the state mandate, thetown of Bolton hired C.T. Male Associates ofLatham to conduct an engineering analysisand recommend upgrades.

Richard Wakeman, vice president of C.T.Male, said Monday that during a 2010 in-spection of the dam by DEC, the structurewas found to have a spillway design flaw soit didn't conform to New York State damguidelines and it needed to be reconfigured.

A DEC survey determined that the Edge-comb Pond Dam fit the “high hazard” cate-gory because failure of the dam would like-ly result in widespread damage to homes,

highways, infrastructure and loss of humanlife and cause substantial economic loss. Es-timates cite that three minutes after damfailure, citizens downstream would face theonrush of water.

Although chances of such a severe stormoccurring are minimal, extreme rainfallcould threaten the lives and property ofdownstream residents, Wakeman said.

“There will have to be some revisionsmade to allow the event to pass withoutover-topping the dam,” Wakeman said. “Anauxiliary spillway to the south will need tobe put in place.”

Wakeman told town board members ear-lier this year that regardless of the change inthe classification, the DEC requires that thespillway has to withstand water flow asso-ciated with a 100-year storm event, or one-half of a probable maximum flow of 33.6inches of rainfall over 72 hours.

Such a storm event might send water fivefeet deep over the spillway, causing the em-bankments to collapse and the dam to fail.

The DEC requires all dams to have anemergency action plan in case of an extremestorm event. This plan was submitted toDEC before an Aug.19 deadline, Wakemansaid Monday. In the unlikely event of anemergency, he added, the plan allows citi-zens and officials to be notified “ahead oftime, not after.”

Upgrades weighed for Edgecomb Pond dam

A Bolton tradition of water skiing on Christmas Day is kept alive in 2010 by Charlotte Caldwell, 17,taking her turn with the frigid sport. About 20 years ago, this holiday tradition began with HenryCaldwell and Joe DiNapoli pulling local resident Zandy Gabriels on his antique aquaplane. Zandystill uses the aquaplane but he has been joined by other skiers over the years. Deb Gaddy has beena regular, along with Mark Roden, Dom Pfau, and Sean Pfau. A few dozen spectators lined the towndock Dec. 25 at Rogers Park for to watch.

WARRENSBURG — Mike Prescott, a state licensed guide,will offer a presentation titled "Armchair Paddler of theSchroon River" on Thursday Jan. 20, to the WarrensburghHistorical Society. The event will be held at Grace's Restau-rant, 3 Hudson St., beginning at 7 p.m.

The Schroon River, which flows through Warrensburg andserves as part of the town's eastern border, is more than 60miles long, and part of the Hudson River watershed. Thehistory of human interaction with the Schroon River is richwith stories of Adirondack logging, industry, tourism, andcommunity development.

Prescott’s talk will be illustrated with vintage photos andpostcards, as well as contemporary photography that showswhat a paddler today would experience along the river.Also included will be discussion of the Warrensburg in-dustries powered by the Schroon and the two major damproposals, which, had they been built, would have drasti-cally changed the landscape of towns to the north of War-rensburg, and should they have failed, would likely havewiped out the entire hamlet of Warrensburg.

Prescott is a retired school principal. He spent 34 yearsworking with young people, first as a history teacher andthen as a secondary school principal. Mike is an enthusiastof the history of Adirondack lakes, rivers, and streams.

The program is offered at no charge. Beverages and home-

made desserts will be served. Grace's Restaurant is namedfor the late Grace Merrill Magee, a member of the Griffinfamily which discovered the great opportunities afforded bythe area and its two rivers in the late 18th century.

For details, contact the society at [email protected] orcall 623-2207. The public is welcome to attend.

To the editor:The seemingly universal accolades for New York State’s

acquisition at the end of December of development rightsfrom 87,000 acres of forest land in the Adirondacks—at a costof $30 million—deserves some criticism.

Why is the state spending this sum to eradicate land rightswhen the state has been unable to balance its budget with-out firings, program cutbacks, and passing down unfundedmandates that are strangling local governments?

And, why is the state further strangling land ownershipin towns already suffering from too much state land owner-ship? Take Stony Creek, for instance. The state already owns53 percent of the land, and, with this acquisition, has addi-tionally prohibited all economic activity except logging andlimited recreation on 1,230 acres.

The Stony Creek Town Board passed a resolution request-ing that the state not acquire conservation easements alongHildebrandt Road, an actively maintained town highwaythat connects Stony Creek to Athol, where, according to myhusband Peter LaGrasse, the chairman of Stony Creek’sBoard of Assessors, the APA rules would allow a total of only12 houses to be built in Stony Creek along highway frontageon 507 acres of land with good characteristics for building.

The state could have acquired the development rights tothe back land and left the road frontage intact, but insteadit simply eradicated this modest building potential, al-though it could be so important in a town of under 700 res-idents that is held back by the Adirondack Park Agency’shigh bars to development.

In essence, whenever the state acquires conservation ease-ments, the state is eradicating the much-coveted, very lim-ited development potential allowed by the Adirondack ParkAgency’s land-use bible, the “Land Use and DevelopmentPlan Map and State Land Map.”

The so-called Adirondack “Park” includes six millionacres of land, of which three million acres are owned by thestate as “forever wild.” Up until December, the state had ac-quired 700,000 acres of conservation easements in additionto this forever wild land. Now the state has added another87,000 acres.

The state should not buy one more acre of land in theAdirondacks, neither in full title nor as conservation ease-ments. The Legislature should wake up and look at the lostbiodiversity, the lost hunting, and the loss of potential staterevenue by refusing to sustainably harvest the rich timberresource of the forever wild land.

ALBANY — With the state Senate now back in Republicanhands, G.O.P. stalwart Sen. Betty Little of Queensbury willsit on one of the two most influential committees of the leg-islative body’s upper house.

After speaking at a legislative breakfast Jan. 7 in SaranacLake, Little confirmed that she has been appointed to theSenate Finance Committee. Any bill that involves spendingmoney must pass the Finance Committee before reaching thefloor. Legislators from the committees on Rules and Financehave influence over almost every item of legislation thatmoves through the Senate.

Also, as of Monday, Little was selected to chair the SenateCommittee on Cultural Affairs, Tourism and Parks andRecreation, she said. With Little leading tourism, entitieslike the state Olympic Regional Development Authoritycould experience more secure funding.

After a brief thaw, snow cover hasreturned to the North Country,and with it comes a host of activ-

ities from skiing and sliding to snow fortsand snowball fights.

Unfortunately, across much of the re-gion, there has not yet been enough snowcover to accommodate snowmobiles. InRay Brook, the railroad tracks in my back-yard have remained untracked, except forthe passing wildlife.

When it comes to Adirondack wintertourism, white brings the green! Althoughthe list of recreational options is severelylimited by a lack of snow, it pays to re-member that there is still a lot of winterleft and there are still a lot of opportunitiesavailable.

Currently, the majority of the region’slake and ponds have good ice cover, andI’ve received numerous reports of somenice fish being taken on the early ice.

Cross-country skiers, snowshoers andskaters have been busy, as have the iceclimbers and backcountry skiers. Fortu-nately, the weather has been cold enoughfor communities to maintain municipal icerinks, and elsewhere, the pond hockey sea-son is in full swing.

geek, I recently came across an interestingnew Web site created by Tom Wemett, aself professed “NPT fanatic.”

The Web site, www.nptrail.org, is dedi-cated to the Northville-Placid Trail, (NPT),which originally spanned nearly 133 milesof the Adirondack backcountry. The trail,which was designed and constructed byAdirondack Mountain Club (ADK) volun-teers beginning in 1921. It was completedin 1923 as one of the ADK’s first projects.

The NPT still serves to connect a varietyof Adirondack communities and habitats,from lakes to mountains, valleys to

swamps and all points between. But, un-like the more mountainous trails that dom-inate the High Peaks area, the NPT is pri-marily a ‘valley romp’ that travels primari-ly through the river valleys and lowlandforests surrounding the ponds and lakes ofthe region.

The trail was constructed to take advan-tage of rail transportation, with the termi-nus at both ends beginning at the localNew York Central Railroad stations of thetwo communities. In 1923, there were onlya few good roads in the Adirondacks, andcars were nowhere near as prevalent asthey are today.

Although The NPT was originally 133miles long, the southern end now begins inUpper Benson, a few miles north ofNorthville. The north end is the ChubbRiver bridge on the Averyville Road inLake Placid, a few miles from the old trainstation. These changes diminish the trail’stotal distance to about 121 miles, but it alsoreduces the hiking on highways.

Despite the fact that the trail will be acentury old in 2011, it may actually be“wilder” today, than when it was first de-veloped.

In the 1920’s, lumbering was still a majorAdirondack industry and much of the land,and the rivers bore industrial scars, orburned over lands.

In fact, many sections of trail incorporat-ed old logging roads that had been de-signed by “road monkeys”, those talentedwood’s engineers that utilized the terrainso that horses could efficiently haul logsleds. As a result of the monkey’s mar-velous engineering, the NPT is also one ofthe finest backcoutry ski trails in the coun-try.

Although the trail has experienced nu-merous reroutes and changes over theyears, it remains true to its origins. Forhikers interested in a complete “end to

end” experi-ence, the NPTprovides one ofthe finest expe-riences in theeastern UnitedStates.

The trail, de-veloped to passnear variouscommunitiesand cross a fewroads, makes iteasy restocksupplies. Some hikers purchase provisionsin towns along the route, while others de-posit food caches near highway crossingsin advance.

While the route typically takes about twoand a half weeks to complete, the growingpopularity of trail running has greatly di-minished this time.

In 2005, Tim Seaver, a photographer fromVermont, covered the route in 37 hours, 31

minutes with the assistance of a supportcrew. In 2009, Drew Haas of Jay, a founderof the Adirondack Trail Running Club,completed the 135-mile Northville-PlacidTrail in 60.5 hours, Unaided. Hass onlyslept for about 6 hours during his epic run.

Although the trail crosses a few high-ways and passes through a couple of com-munities along the route, it takes travelersthrough some wild and remote country.Over the years, I’ve tackled sections of theroute to access Spruce Lake, Silver Lake,Cedar Lake, Tirrell Pond, Moose Pond,Duck Hole and the Cold River.

In addition to outstanding opportunitiesfor hiking and skiing, the NPT also pro-vides numerous opportunities for anglersto pursue backcountry brook trout intheir native habitat.

Most of the ponds and streams accessible via the Northville-Placid Trail offer fine backcountrybrook trout amidst unsurpassed scenic beauty.

WARRENSBURG — The WarrensburgHigh School wrestling team hosted a busy,successful annual Burgher duals meet Satur-day, as over 400 wrestlers were matched upwith four opponents each for a day full of ac-tion.

The outcome, however, fell short of ex-pectations for the Burghers as they tallied a1-3 team record for the day, Coach Mark Tra-passo said.

“The outcome was downright ugly,” hesaid, noting his squad should have beatenone of their opponents, Albany Academy, asseveral Burgher wrestlers were up by widemargins of 7-0 or 11-2 and then were sud-denly pinned for a loss. Other matches werenearly even, and could have been in the win-ning column with a little more effort, headded.

Hudson Falls won the tournament by asolid margin. They set the tone in the firstmatchup by crushing the Burghers by a scoreof 72-3. Beecher Baker recorded the Burgers’only points against Hudson Falls, by deci-sioning his opponent.

For the day, four Warrensburg wrestlersscored 2-2 in their matches: Jon Vaisey at 103pounds, Nick Nedelcu at 119, Lucas Nelsonat 160, and Tony Auricchio at 285.

Warrensburg 44, Morrisville-Eaton36

The high point of the day for local sportsfans came when Warrensburg edged outMorrisville-Eaton by a score of 44-36. At 103pounds, Orin Broulette (M-E) pinned Jon

Vaisey in 1:55 after a back-and-forth matchin which Vaisey, who’s been posting a win-ning season,had been up 7-5.

At 112, Aidan Szabo chalked up some re-venge as he pinned Pat Aschraft in 2:33. Sz-abo, an eighth grader, has been in and out of

the Varsity lineup for 2010-11, but Saturdayhe was really tough. At 119 pounds, BarneyPrince (M-E) decisioned Burgher NickNedelcu by 20-8 in an athletic free-for-all, inwhich Nedelcu refused to give up. Nedelcuwas awarded the Burghers’ MVP award for

his performance.At 125, Freshman Burgher newcomer Den-

ver Berry pinned Tyler Streeter in oneminute flat with a fast, muscular headlock.Berry, Coach Trapasso said, is improving bythe week.

At 130 pounds, Hunter Roberts (ME) de-cisioned Masyn Morey with a score of 9-0. At135, Rod Buyea (ME) decisioned WillYarmowich with a tally of 15-6. Yarmowich,a varsity rookie, is one of the freshmen onthe team who are making waves this year. At140 pounds, Chris Robinson of Warrensburgpinned Brian Schenk in 3:32 in a hard-foughtmatchup.

At 145, J.T. Metz (ME) pinned Jerico Con-verse in 2:18. At 160, Lucas Nelson won atechnical fall by running up a 18-3 score overNick Krause (ME) in 4:38. At 171 pounds,Burgher Jack Eaton won by an injury defaultafter his Morrisville-Eaton opponent MitchVanWormer complained about his ribs andcouldn’t continue. At 189 pounds, BurgherDesmon Allen won by technical fall in 6 min-utes over Colin Pearsall, which pleased Tra-passo.

“I’m encouraged by this win,” he said.At 285 pounds, Tony Auricchio of War-

rensburg decisioned his opponent WyattMorris 9-0.

Despite the 1-3 record for the day, Trapas-so said his wrestlers are gaining skills andexperience, and he has solid expectations forthe Sectional tournaments to be held a num-ber of weeks ahead.

“We still haven’t gotten where we need toget,” he said. “But when Sectionals rollaround, we hope to be competitive.”

W HAT SHOULD A PARENT W HAT SHOULD A PARENT KNOW WHEN TALKING TO KNOW WHEN TALKING TO A CHILD ABOUT SAFETY ? A CHILD ABOUT SAFETY ?

Don’t forget your older children. Children aged 11 to 17 are equally

at risk to victimization. At the same time you are giving your older children more

freedom, make sure they understand important safety rules as well.

Speak to your children in a manner that is calm and non-threatening.

Children do not need to be frightened to get the point across. In fact, fear can thwart the safety

message, because fear can be paralyzing to a child.

Speak openly. Children will be less likely to come to you about issues

shrouded in secrecy. If they feel that you are comfortable discussing the subject at hand, they may be more forthcoming.

Do not teach “stranger danger.” Children do not have the same understanding of “strangers” as adults;

the concept is difficult for them to grasp. And, based on what we know about those who harm children, people known to children and/or their families

actually present a greater danger to children than do “strangers.”

Practice what you preach. You may think your children understand the message, but until they

can incorporate it into their daily lives, it may not be clearly understood. Find opportunities to practice “what if” scenarios.

Teach your children that safety is more important than manners.

In other words, it is more important for children to get themselves out of a threatening situation than it is to be polite.

They also need to know that it is okay to tell you what happened, and they won’t be tattletales.

“...A child goes missing every 40 seconds in the U.S., over 2,100 per day. In excess of 800,000 children are reported missing each year. Another 500,000 go missing without ever being reported ...”

D ON ’ T LET YOUR CHILD BE AN ONLINE VICTIM .

Child predators roam cyberspace specifically in chatrooms and social media sites looking for their next victim. Allowing your young children and teens to use the internet without some level of supervision can be a very slippery slope. Approximately one in seven youth online (10 to 17 years old) received a sexual solicitation or approach over the internet.

Emergency squad’s tearful last sanctioned run?

The Thurman Emergency Squad made their last of-ficial outing on behalf of the town Dec. 31 whenthey picked up a lady on High Street Dec. 31.

The lady was having difficulty breathing and after 911was called, the squad immediately responded. One mem-ber stopped in ahead of the ambulance as she had oxygento administer for the patient. Within minutes, several localEmergency Medical Technicians were on the scene. MariaLigon expresses heartfelt thanks to Barb Baker, Skip Bes-saw, John Kindred and to all of the crew who were com-passionate and knew exactly what to do and what carewas needed. Thanks to all the emergency responders, andmay the Thurman Emergency Squad soon be up and run-ning again on behalf of local town government — Thur-man needs you!

Later it was learned that the Thurman Town Board hadcanceled the compensation insurance as of 2011 on thesquad members. If you are ill, call 911, but the Warrens-burg Emergency Squad is the agency to respond, as thetown ended its tradition of contracting for service with theThurman Emergency Medical Services. Of course, if youhave good neighbors they could take you by car.

A petition was presented to the Thurman Town BoardDec. 2 with over 277 signatures signed by year-round resi-dents requesting the town retaining the local emergencysquad, but the board decided otherwise.

I am getting numerous calls on this issue. One callersaid the Board doesn’t seem to care about its residents. another suggested this issue should be put before a publicvote. You can voice your opinions by sending a letter tothe editor to: Thom Randall c/o Regina Porter, 2 JennijillLoop, Warrensburg, NY 12885.

Cheryl Kenyon of Bear Pond Road returned home for

Christmas after spending 10 days with her son and familyin Roseville, Calif. She enjoyed spending time with MarcJr. and Jeana, and playing with 3-year-old Gibson and 17-month-old Lauren.

Brandon Beadnell spent the Christmastime holidays inThurman with his dad, Luke and fiancée Jenny on RiverRoad, and while here Brandon went skiing for the firsttime — the trip was to Ridin’ Hy ski hill. His cousin three-year-old Colton also came and spent a play day, plus hehad fun at his grandparents, Nancy and Terry Beadnell’s,before returning to his home in Livermore, Maine on NewYear ’s Eve.

Over the fenceShare your memories — what was it like to live in Thur-

man in your day? Were things the same as today? Jot downa few notes for the John Thurman Historical Society, orbetter yet write a short story and send it to: PO Box 7,Athol, NY or call 623-2007. Did you learn about the worldin a one-room schoolhouse where spankings were given?Did all the kids drink from the same water pail and usethe same dipper? Did you walk to school? Did you weartire patches on your winter boots? Did you walk on snow-shoes to visit your neighbor in the winter months? Pleaseshare your memories!

I’d like to find an old orange crate, the kind we used toset on end and was often used to put books in — recallthem?

Volunteers needed for youth activities A decade ago, there were many winter activities for our

youth and more volunteers willing to help out.Think back 10 short years, and we had the Mommy &

Me parents and toddlers program, karate classes, a super-vised skating rink, a town skiing program, Nature’s Ex-plorers’ Club, plus there were occasional dances, a tutor-ing program and even a self defense class for women.Also, there was a YMCA-sponsored bus offering trans-portation.

Now, these offerings are gone — and much of it is due tolack of volunteers, as well as low participation rates.

If weather permits we may have a sledding hill or askating rink this season. Those willing to volunteer to helpwith any activity for our youth, call 623-2249 or 623-4024.We would like to keep our town as unique and caring as itonce was — won’t you help?

Countryside Home residents say ‘Thanks’A special Thank You goes out to to all the folks that vis-

ited Countryside Home during the Holiday season,whether it was individuals or groups. To those whobrought or sent gifts and cards, groups who sang carols orjust stopped in for a visit, sincere thanks. All of this activi-ty brightened the residents’ days and it is hoped all willstop by again again for a return visit.

PLEASE HELP ! My children’s hearts are broken. Our Sunshine has been missing since November 23, 2010, the same day that our dog Shady staggered into our home bleeding from the head and mouth, dying from wounds inflicted by a hollow shell bullet. Its is bad enough to loose a member of our family but to never find the body of the other is cruel. Please help us put Sunshine to rest humanely with closure for my children and I, and so we know, at least in death she has the dignity she rightfully deserves. Sunshine is a german shepard/golden retreiver mix. Her color is brindle and she has a bobbed tail. We hope and pray still a friendly dog. Please help us have a New Year miracle. If you know of her whereabouts, please call us at 802-349-3489. Last seen at Silver Hill Road, Witherbee on the morning of November 23rd.
