WARRENSBURG — Local resi-dents confronted the WarrensburgTown Board with their criticisms ofthe proposed town property mainte-nance law, and the panel agreed toreconsider some of the pending or-

dinance’s provisions.A workshop meeting to re-exam-

ine the ordinance has been set for 4p.m. Wednesday Sept. 5, and thepublic is invited to attend and ob-serve.

Criticisms were aired that theproperty maintenance law might betoo strict, be selectively enforced, orbe a burden on some homeowners to

comply with.Town officials countered that the

proposed law was primarily a tool toforce cleanup of abandoned andforeclosed properties in town.

Town Supervisor Kevin Geraghtysaid the law was also an effort toprotect the property values of neigh-bors of unkempt properties.

The proposed ordinance forces

property owners to mow their grass,remove dead limbs, trim theirshrubs, repair unsound structures,and dispose of trash.

Not only are structures requiredto be kept in good repair, but theiroverhangs, gutters and canopiesmust be painted to prevent weather-ing. Fences and retaining walls,

invasiveweed

WARRENSBURG — Localresident John Wulfkengrabbed a branch off a bam-boo-like dense shrub thathad recently grown to beabout 25 feet long at thetown landfill.

“This is nothing,” he said,looking at various six-foot-tall stands of JapaneseKnotweed circling the land-fill. “I can show you placesthat are really infested withthis fast-growing weed.”

John Wulfken talked Aug.12 of how JapaneseKnotweed is now spreadingthrough the hamlet of War-rensburg, taking over backyards, vacant lots, andthreatening property valuesas its roots grow horizontal-ly underground, sending updense shoots that quicklycrowd out other plants.

“People don’t understandwhat a threat this can be, andhow hard it is to get rid ofit,” Wulfken continued, ob-serving that it often grows

No. Warren updatesNew restaurantsin Chester,townwide saleproposed

We’re now seeing somenew activity in downtownChestertown, indicatingthere’s a revitalization oc-curring in local commerce.

Hemlock Ledge Restau-rant & Cafe is now open onMain St. where Anywhere’sRestaurant was located. Fishand steak dinners with freshvegetables are availableMonday through Saturday.In addition, craft beers andhomemade soups offer a dis-tinctive touch. All foods arecooked to order.

Recent offerings includedpork medallions in an appleraisin glaze, fresh salmonwith a teriyaki-ginger glaze.Soups range from chickentortilla, creamy crab, sum-mer squash, to beer cheesesoup. In addition, there arealways freshly bakeddesserts.

The restaurant has a live-ly bar scene, we hear, withoccasional live music. Hem-lock Ledge is open for lunchat 11:30 a.m. and dinner at4:30 p.m. They can bereached at 494-4452.

The Bullhouse Restau-rant is now under develop-ment in the old Ice CreamParlor building on Main St.

The owners, Greg andSharon Taylor, have startedrenovations after receivinghealth department permits.

We hear the restaurantwill be a Texas-style steak-house, and hopefully it beopening sometime this fall.

Such redevelopment indowntown Chester has beeneagerly awaited for years.

A complaint or two hascirculated about activity onthe Chester Municipal Cen-ter lawn during the weeklyChestertown Farmer’s Mar-ket, whether it was a childplaying around the veter-ans’ monuments or vendorspulling up vehicles on thecenter ’s lawn.

The Farmers’ Market,however, has been a greatboon to local commerce,drawing more than 500 peo-ple to downtown Chester-town the past three weeks.Most people believe it hasbeen very positive develop-

ment in our community, andsee the current revival in thecommercial scene in partdue to entrepreneurs wit-nessing the crowds that theFarmers’ Market hasbrought into town.

There will be a classic carcruise-in and Car Hop Aug.24 at the Panther MountainInn starting at 6 p.m. withclassic cars and their ownersgathering in the PantherInn’s parking lot and acruise through town to occuraround dusk. Music for theevent starts at 9 p.m.

Community banners arenow up on poles besideroadways, giving our NorthWarren hamlets a promo-tional boost. Thanks to JohnWest for getting all the ban-

ners up.Ron Walker of Green

Mansions Golf Course hasoffered to have a Golf Tour-nament at Green Mansionsto benefit the Tri-Lakes Busi-ness Alliance. Planning foran autumn tournament isnow underway, and volun-teers are needed to help or-ganize this event.

It has been suggested thatthe communities of Chester-town, Pottersville and BrantLake hold townwide garagesales to correspond with theWarrensburg’s World’sLargest Garage Sale event,occurring the weekend ofSept. 29 and 30 this year.

The North Warren Cham-ber of Commerce is lookinginto promoting this event,

but again, volunteers areneeded to assist with organ-izing this.

People proposing thisidea note that many thou-sands of people are drawn tothe area that weekend, and itmakes sense for North War-ren communities to draw onthose visitors as well. AnOktoberfest could also be in-corporated into the event ifthere is enough interestamong area citizens.

Note that the next meetingof the Tri-Lakes BusinessAlliance is to be held FridayAug. 17 at the PantherMountain Inn in downtownChestertown. People inter-ested in boosting commercein the North Warren area arewelcome to attend.

and the prize was a trip fortwo on the North Creek &Saratoga Railway plus din-ner for two at Trapper ’sRestaurant at The Copper-field in North Creek.

BOLTON LANDING — For three summers, residents andvisitors have encountered fancifully painted Adirondackchairs perched near storefronts throughout town.

The chairs have been on display annually prior to beingauctioned off in a mid-August event, and the effort hasraised tens of thousands of dollars for charity

The chairs have piqued interest among folks strollingalong sidewalks in town, and provided a festive, folk-art at-mosphere.

The auction is held on behalf of the Christine Nicole Per-ry Trust, run by Christine’s parents, Mark and Linda Perry,owners of Sweet Pea Farm in Bolton. Christine died severalyears ago at a young age in an out-of-state automobile crash.

The 4th annual Chrissy's Chairs Auction is set for Satur-day Aug. 18 from 4:30 to 8 p.m. at Bolton Landing Conser-vation Center. Enjoy food and dance to live music by theever-popular Stony Creek Band. Once again, Martin Seeleywill serve as the auctioneer.

There are about 15 chairs that have been transformed withoriginal artwork by local volunteer artists. They include:Laura Neadle, Maryanne Ganter, Bonnie Donnelly, Bob As-pholm, Mike Huck, Lynn Underhill, Sue Brenz, CherylSmith, Rob Harriman, Jen Montgomery, Mark Perry and KenWheeler.

This year's proceeds will benefit Cindy's Comfort Camp.For details, call 644-3020.

Baptists change service timeThe First Baptist Church of Bolton Landing is changing

the time of its Sunday service and religious education ses-sions this next month.

Starting Sept. 9, Sunday School will begin at 10 a.m. andthe weekly worship service follows at 11 a.m.

For further information on the church, located at. 5 Hori-con Avenue.

Library holding weekly rafflesThe Bolton Free Library is holding weekly raffles through

August. By making a donation, people obtain a chance towin a gift certificate from a local shop or business. Stop bythe Bolton library or call Megan for details at 644-2233.

Farmer's Market continues hereJust a reminder that the Bolton Landing Farmer's Market

will continue through Oct. 5 this year. Stop by and meet thelocal growers and producers of the wide assortment of prod-ucts that are offered.

The market is held every Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. inthe parking lot of Blessed Sacrament Roman CatholicChurch.

In 2010, Warren County Supervisors —frustrated with the lack of success oftheir existing railroad — solicited pro-

posals nationwide for ideas to develop itwith an eye of boosting the county’stourism.

That November, a top executive of IowaPacific Holdings appeared before the boardand told of an ambitious plan to boost pas-senger traffic through aggressive advertis-ing, negotiating passenger connections toAlbany and New York City, providing gra-cious dome cars, and making a massive in-vestment into the railroad’s infrastructure.

A most important element of their plan —development of rail freight service into theAdirondacks — was then portrayed as amere footnote.

And despite wranglings with environ-mentalists, who dragged the railwaythrough a long federal approval process,Iowa Pacific was successful in gaining ac-cess to the rails on the 30-mile TahawusLine. They plan to haul tailings from Na-tional Lead Industries’ Tahawus mine andgarnet products from Barton Mines inNorth River to markets downstate.

After a track upgrade project was com-pleted, the 6-mile rail line between NorthCreek and North River officially openedAug. 8 for freight service.

At the ribbon-cutting event, Iowa PacificPresident Ed Ellis noted that the railwaysold 60,000 tickets during its first year, andhe predicted that the passenger trafficwould be increasing by 20 to 25 percent inits second full year of operation.

Saratoga & North Creek Railway officialshave said they plan to partner with otherrail carriers to bring the area’s bounty ofminerals to market, and freight could beginmoving within a year.

We at Denton Publications laud Iowa Pa-cific executives for their vision, local super-visors for their lobbying effort, and ourstate and federal representatives for listen-ing and responding.

The benefits of resuming rail freight traf-fic into the southern Adirondacks go far be-yond the cleanup of mine tailings and the20 jobs that would initially be created.

First, the railway’s extension bolsters thefinances of the enterprise, helping it toflourish, which in turn boosts both passen-ger and freight traffic.

Already, the several hundred extra

tourists riding the train to North Creek perday in the summer has meant a dozen or sonew enterprises opening up in town, repre-senting dozens of new jobs.

Next, the railway’s extension represents astep toward a sustainable future for resi-dents of the southern Adirondacks, whichcan be accomplished by tapping the naturalresources of the region — primarily woodproducts and minerals, both of which arebecoming ever more valuable.

Not only would harvesting and trans-porting these raw materials to market cre-ate hundreds of local jobs, but small indus-tries would likely spring up to create prod-ucts that are in demand and multiply theeconomic benefits.

Thirdly, rehabilitation of the railroad in-frastructure provides opportunity for a vi-tal, efficient passenger service to be ex-tended into the Adirondacks, while fuelprices continue to rise.

It’s not just a matter of boosting thetourist trade, which is now a mainstay forthe rural Adirondacks, and is likely to growsubstantially — it’s far more.

Some area citizens, and Iowa Pacific ex-ecutives, have talked of how, with govern-ment support, the railway could become anaffordable, convenient venue-of-choice forthose commuting to work in Albany.

Affordable train service would allow awide range of workers to pursue their ur-ban employment while their families areraised in the Adirondacks, with its out-standing quality of life.

Such developments would revitalizearea communities, devastated in recentdecades by the exodus of citizens who havemoved away to find good-paying jobs.

The cultural richness of life in theAdirondacks could reach new heights, aswell.

We commend all those who have takensteps to facilitate the railway’s develop-ment, and we support further actions to-ward providing a sustainable economy; af-fordable, ecological public transportation;and judicious economic development.

Railway’s extension offers multiple benefitsSince last week’s column I’ve heard

from many readers representing both par-ties who agree something must be done toget our elected officials and their respec-tive parties to work together to addressthe issues facing the nation and spend lesstime focused on campaign elections andcatering to vocal minority groups. If everour voices are to be heard it’s during thenext two-and-a-half months when they seeso much at stake when running for office.We can do more than hope they are opento voter input as this is the time whenthey have a need from us. Their need is avote and our need is to give them specificdirection and then hold them accountable.

If our country were a household and thetwo political parties represented the re-sponsible parents who make the decisions,and the voters represent the children ofthe household who depend on their par-ents to provide food, finances and a safeshelter, then clearly we have a very dys-functional family unit. These two can’tagree on anything. It’s either time for a di-vorce or it’s time for the children to con-vince their parents to clean up their actand be the responsible adults they claimto be. We have allowed these parental fig-ures far too much control over this rela-tionship by sitting back and it’s time to letthem know their behavior is no longer ac-ceptable. At a time when we must eithertell our children to not expect a better lifethen we enjoyed or start confronting thosewho run this country…well that choice ofwho to speak with seems very clear.

So what can we do in the short time wehave left in this election season? I thinkwe start by testing our ability to influencethose decision makers running for officeand the parties they represent. I believewe start by demanding that they stopthese endless and stupid attack ads. Dowe care that either side sees the other sideas useless, selfish, drunken, lying, good-for-nothing bums, whores, killers or what-ever else their sadistic ad people can con-jure up? If we are ever going to influencea change we must demand that they tell uswhy they are qualified for the job and ex-actly what they plan to do, when they planto do it and most importantly, how theywill get the other side to go along withtheir plan, for without this component

nothing will hap-pen and we expectto see results. Ifthey are unable tomeet this stan-dard, why in hellwould we want toput them incharge and waste our time and money? Ifwe, as the electorate, can’t make some-thing as basic as this request happen dur-ing this highly charged, contested season,then we, as members of this nation, are re-ally nothing more than pawns and we willnever really have any say in the directionor tone of this government.

If those running for office can focus ongiving us a clear choice between two com-peting ideas or plans rather than spendingall of their — make that our — money andefforts designing marketing plans to teardown the other side they have onlyproven they are good at destroying peopleand ideas with lies and innuendo, whileplanting doubt, lack of trust and furtherdysfunction…and what kind of choice isthat? The reality is they either don’t thinkwe are smart enough to understand any-thing more than empty promises, or theyknow the slim minority of those who willultimately decide the election are simpleminded enough to believe their lies. Wecan no longer allow that small minority toset the agenda for our nation. Either way,if we don’t demand higher standards fromthem we will continue to get more of whatwe’ve been getting. Additionally, thesenew Super PACS that the candidates(wink-wink) have no control over are justanother example of the disrespect theyhave for the American electorate.

I believe the time has come to demandthat they be accountable or it’s time forthe “divorce.” What exactly do I mean bydivorce? In any household where theadults are not responsible enough to pro-vide the basic necessities, someone muststep in and put things in order, be it agrandparent, family member or some oth-er responsible adult. If the parties can’tput forward candidates with ideas andplans to move the nation forward then

•100 Years Ago – Aug. 1912•Lady refuses food, expires

After a fast of 60 days, during which not aparticle of food and only a small amount ofwater passed her lips, Mrs. Samuel B. Moses,63, died the night of July 29, 1912 at 12:15p.m. at her home on Alden Avenue where shelived quietly for many years with her hus-band, Capt. Samuel B. Moses, who survivedher. The couple had two children in the ear-ly years of their married life, but they diedin infancy.

Paulina Moses, born April 20, 1849, wasthe daughter of the late Asahel Bennett andthe sister of Alice Gates who survives her.The deceased had been an invalid for a num-ber of years and she had been attended byDr. Griffin.

For several days in the latter part of May,Mrs. Moses abstained from food but brokeher fast on May 30, 1912. Her stomach re-fused to perform its functions and rebelledagainst the food. Since that day she had per-sistently refused to take nourishment in anyform. In spite of this, she retained herstrength in a remarkable degree. During theearly part of her abstinence she walked eachday to her husband’s little shop near thehouse where she sat and watched him at hiswork. Later when she could no longer trav-el the short distance on her own, she insist-ed on being carried each day to her accus-tomed seat in the shop. This was kept up un-til three days before her death.

Capt. Moses did everything in his powerto get her to eat but his efforts were in vain.There were suspicions that Paulina Moses,always eccentric, was mentally deranged.She was a spotless housekeeper before herillness, “as neat as wax,” and almost neverventured beyond the bounds of her street.Paulina Moses is buried in the WarrensburghCemetery. (Note: The Moses home is on theeast corner of River St. and Alden Avenue.Years later, the late Jim and Florence Gallup

lived there. Florence worked for severalyears in the Richards Library. Their son livesin the house today. Capt. Moses was a talent-ed and unusual man with an outrageoussense of humor, who was famous for his wildand complex practical jokes. He was incharge of Warrensburgh parades and went tounheard of lengths to make them memo-rable. Because he had no live wild animalsfor his parades, he made his own reproduc-tions in his workshop. Samuel Moses, 71,died Nov. 25, 1915 and lies beside his wife inthe Warrensburgh Cemetery.)

Handsome, historic walking caneDr. Charles B. Cunningham of Warrens-

burgh has recently become the owner of ahandsome cane of historic value, presentedto him by the executors of the estate of hislate uncle, Mr. Cunningham of Plattsburgh.The cane is made of wood which was once apart of the hull of the Royal Savage, a Britishvessel that sank in Lake Champlain duringthe War of 1812.

Several times attempts have been made toraise the vessel and it was on one of these oc-casions that a diver brought to the surface apiece of the hull from which the cane wasmade. The stick is of some dark wood resem-bling ebony. It is handsomely polished andis surmounted by a beautifully engravedgold head bearing an appropriate inscrip-tion. Mr. Cunningham was at that timeprominent in city affairs and the cane waspresented to him by the citizens of Platts-burgh as a testimonial of their esteem.

Dr. Cunningham has another cane heprizes highly, a bamboo stick given to him in1881 by his buddies at Dartmouth College.Almost the entire surface is covered with thenames or nicknames of the givers, cut in witha pen knife. Many of these classmates have,of course, long since gone to their eternalhome and their signatures now form theirepitaphs.

Girl leaves family, relatives worryNews has been received by local relatives

that the 14-year-old daughter of Henry Lee,of Granville, who disappeared from herhome the evening of May 25, 1912, has justbeen found in West Pawlet, Vt. She was lastseen in a wagon with a strange man whotook her away with him. She says she doesnot wish to return home.

In other news, a traveling Italian vagrantcame to the home of Joshua Reynolds in EastThurman the other day and refused to leavewhen told to do so. Neighbors were called tohelp get him to go away.

Arthur W. Morehouse, formerly of LakeGeorge, whose wife died this spring leavinghim with four young children, and who hasbeen staying for some time at Bakers Mills,came to Warrensburgh recently to remain fora stay at the home of Dudley Monroe.

Old Maids’ show opensThe one-act comedy, “The Spinsters’ Con-

vention,” under the auspices of the Warrens-burgh Presbyterian Ladies’ Aid Society waspresented July 26, 1912 at Music Hall. Theplayers were arrayed in wondrous comicalcostumes and were cleverly made up to lookas spinsters are supposed to look, but sel-dom do. Mrs. Charles F. Burhans playedJosephine Jane Greene with much dignity.

Their antics provoked frequent and heartylaughter. The hall was completely filled andthe door receipts were about $110, most ofwhich was profit. (Note: the WarrensburgMusic Hall was next door north of today’sRite Aid pharmacy.

Two steamers in troubleThe new steamer Horicon, carrying about

700 passengers on a moonlight excursion onLake George under the auspices of theKnights of Columbus, grazed a rock in thenarrows and barely escaped a serious acci-dent. As it was, one of the paddle wheels wasconsiderably damaged, part of the wheel box

was carried away and the hull was scraped.The boat was enabled, however, to reachLake George Village under its own steam.The next day it was sent to the Baldwin yardand will be out of commission for 10 days.

The night of Aug. 10, 1912, the steamerSagamore, with about 200 passengersaboard, ran on a sand bar opposite Haguevillage and was stranded for 36 hours. Wordwas sent to Lake George Village, and thesteamer Horicon, which was docked there,was rushed to the scene with all possiblespeed. She pulled and tugged on the big boatfor several hours to no avail, having movedthe steamer only about three feet after break-ing all her hawsers and anchor chains.

She returned to Lake George and the nextday she again took up the task with the re-sult that the boat was freed from the sand.The Sagamore had no damages except a bad-ly scraped hull and was able to resume herdaily trips.

Children in needThe New York State Charities Aid Associ-

ation has placed an ad in local newspaperscarrying on its work in placing homelesschildren, under 14 years of age, in homeswhere they will be received as members ofthe family. Over 40,000 children had to beplaced in military-type institutions last yearin the state. Young lives that start in an or-phanage are forced to leave at 14 or 16 yearsof age and venture out into the world andfend for themselves with no one to turn to.

Local newsIt’s August now and summer is on its last

legs. The weather is in fact autumn-like in itscoolness and it seems like fall already. As ofAug. 5, 1912, there were 700 motorboatscounted on Lake George.

A band of gypsies, who have been camp-ing in Wevertown, broke camp Aug. 12, 1912and moved on.

Will Smith went to Lake George July 30,1912 with a large supply of peanuts and icecream cones which he sold to the peoplethere who came to see the circus.

Chester Town hall lawn should bereserved for veterans’ memorial

To the Adirondack Journal:I have a suggestion for the organizers of the Chestertown

Farmers’ Market.Wouldn’t it be better to hold the weekly Farmers‘ Market

at the Chestertown’s Dynamite Hill Recreation area wherethe activity won’t create a traffic hazard?

Also, market vendors’ vehicles are pulling onto the lawnof the Chester Municipal Center, and killing the new grassin front of the new Chester Veterans’ Memorial Plaza, whichis being desecrated by the market!

The front of the town hall is for the memory of the veter-ans, not junk sales and farmers’ markets.

George Phillips Warrensburg

Accommodate the schoolhouse volunteers, find another site for Adirondack day camp

To the Adirondack Journal:As a resident of the hamlet of Adirondack in the town of

Horicon, I was at the meeting described in the July 28Adirondack Journal, listening to the discussion of the use ofthe Adirondack Schoolhouse.

I’d like to correct one incorrect statement — the enterpriseknown as Adirondack Arts & Science Day Camp is NOT pay-ing rent for the use of the schoolhouse during the five-weektenure, according to a Town Board member and schoolhouserepresentative Jane Smith.

I have no affiliation with either the schoolhouse, its activ-ities or supporters, nor the Day Camp and its owners.

At the meeting, a gentleman stated that the buildingwould not be available for anyone’s use if these hardwork-ing folks in Adirondack hadn’t contributed and volunteeredtheir time, manual labors and personal donations to accom-plish the improvements to this old building — not to men-tion raising the additional funds necessary to continue tocomplete upgrades to the buildings. They have earned theright that their needs to use the building should be a prior-ity, and their opinions should be considered.

To me, there is no disagreement that the five-week DayCamp program offered by the LaFountains to our childrenand grandkids is a wonderful opportunity and everyonewould like the program to continue, specifically in Adiron-dack.

I am Project Coordinator for the Horicon Historical Soci-ety’s 1881 Adirondack Museum. In that capacity for the pastyear, I’ve spent many, many back-breaking volunteer hoursworking on the restoration of this church into a museum —as well as fundraising to convert a local historic buildingthat is sitting empty and deteriorating, turning it into a beau-tiful, useable, restored building. It is an asset in terms of ed-ucation, tourism and entertainment that the public can uti-lize — as well as providing a future legacy to our children.

Considering this, I can empathize with the schoolhousefolks at that meeting that they felt like they had no input re-garding the use of the schoolhouse, and I understand their

feelings of exclusion. At the same time, I feel our youth andthose who contribute to their growth is a vital concern andI am happy to know I live in a community willing to con-tribute to that.

However, as a parent and grandparent, I would ask my-self some questions about this building and whether I want-ed my child there under those circumstances and what I cando to change what I am uncomfortable about. As a resident,I would like to see this discussion resolved so all concernedwithin our community feel we have come to a workable so-lution by June 2013.

Also, I’d would like to know if there is lead in the paint ofthis old building or asbestos in the walls. I also thought wethe people of Horicon had hired a “beautification employ-ee” — so why are our children picking up dirty trash with-out gloves and being exposed to invasive species of plants?Also, there is presently no hot water at the schoolhouse. Ialso would be concerned about the long walk on the busyroads of Adirondack going to the beach. Certainly, the longwalk is good for the children, but not on the narrow Adiron-dack hamlet roads.

I would also ask what the requirements are to operate aday care center or camp. I believe this question was askedand Mr. LaFountain said their operation was an “EnrichmentProgram,” thereby bypassing applicable state requirements.

My thoughts are that we need to come together as a com-munity with the LaFountains to promote this opportunityand find a suitable location within Horicon for the day camppurpose.

Perhaps, when a request affecting a large group comes be-fore the Town Board, a second meeting for all involved couldbe held before a final commitment is made.

Citizens need to focus on God’s WordTo the Adirondack Journal:I have read several editorials lately by Adirondack Jour-

nal Publisher Dan Alexander that state he would like to seemore cooperation between the nation’s political leaders. Iam sure there are many who would applaud the same ac-tions.

However, I pause to reflect on both history and God’sWord.

A century ago, President Garfield said, “Now, more thanever before, the people are responsible for the character oftheir Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and cor-rupt it is because people demand these high qualities to rep-resent them in the national legislator — It will be becausethose who represent the enterprise, the culture, and themorality of the nation do not find us a great nation — it willbe because those who represent the enterprise, the culture,and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling thepolitical forces.”

In other words, the people are apathetic or lazy or do nothold any higher values than those we elect.

Daniel Wester said, “I apprehend no danger to our coun-try from a foreign foe — our destruction, should it come atall, will be from another quarter — from the inattention of

the people to the concerns of their government; from theircarelessness and negligence.”

America is immoral because America has rejected God justas his chosen people did. We have thrown God out of our ed-ucation system and now anything other than God is prom-ised.

His Word tells of the results of our choices. It warns of ourdemise and his judgement. We are seeing the beginnings ofit now world wide in floods, fires, famine, drought and wars,but we don’t recognize them because of lack of knowledgeof his Word. Study the Bible and look to the sky for Christ’sreturn!

they should be dismantled and replaced. That will onlyhappen if members of those parties step forward andmake it known they have the will and power to do so byresigning from the party, refusing to vote or by gettinginvolved, taking greater control and demanding truechange. If the party has no base to play to it may forcethem to greater accountability.

Send this column with your endorsement or draft aletter telling your party what you expect; Democrats tomy.democrats.org/page/s/contact-the-democrats andRepublicans to gop.com/contact-us/. Tell them you’veheard and seen enough. Tell them you demand they quitthe attack ads and start putting forth a substantial mes-sage on why their candidates are qualified and exactlywhat they plan to do to put our nation back on track forthe sake of future generations. Share the message withfriends and family through personal contact, phone,mail, email or social media. Let your voices and wishesbe heard with every candidate and party member youcome in contact with. Make your presence felt at candi-date nights and other political and social functions. Ifenough of us move to the middle before the election itjust might make them nervous and get their attention.Our nation requires a serious effort and they betterprove they are up to the task.

At the recent Olympic Games in London our US Teamproved if you work hard and set demanding goals youcan be successful. Our political leaders need to elevatetheir game and if they won’t we must be willing to forcea change. Our Olympic team refused to accept medioc-rity, repeatedly exceeded previously set records, can weallow our country and our children to accept the factthat our best days are now behind us? It’s a very sad dayif we do and shame on us for allowing it to happen dur-ing our watch. It will take hard work, sacrifice and everysingle person to turn around this dismal condition but itcan be done if we have the resolve and desire to makegood choices this fall. We all must do our part and itmust start today.

The Historical Society of the Town of Chester will host a presen-tation of Adirondack readings by The Our Town Theatre Group “Penny Readers” on August 22nd at 7 o’clock at the Town of Chester Municipal Center auditorium, which is located at 6307 State Route 9 in Chestertown- across the street from the Grand Union. The Our Town Theatre Group (OTTG) in 2010 formed “The Penny Readers” to bring poetry and stories more directly to the public. They have appeared often in our area, and their performances are for free! They don’t charge even a penny! Come and enjoy the fi rst time reading of the tender, complex poems of Jeanne Robert Foster. Her poetry speaks directly about the people she knew, the life and places she loved as a young woman growing up in the Adirondacks of the 1800’s. Reading Foster’s poetry will be Bob Foley of Minerva, Brenda Foley of Minerva, Wendy Joy Hayes of Brant Lake, Jim Kries of Indian Lake, and Dennis Wilson of Chestertown. Together they will encompass the area as Foster herself did as she lived in many places in the southern Adiron-dacks when she was young, including Chestertown, N.Y. Enjoy this glimpse of the past.The third program of the season will be David Pitkin, a popular area presenter. He will be doing a program on Sept 26th about ghosts - in the Carol Theatre in town. This building has been authenticated as having spirits. So when you come, you may see folks you haven’t seen IN YEARS!! October 24th will be the fi nal program for the season when George Wertime will monitor a program focusing on a tape of J. Phillip Sullivan talking about Chestertown when he was growing up here.The museum is located on the 2nd Floor of the Municipal Center – right across the hall from the Library. Come in and see what our forefathers used in their everyday lives. Also, visit the Sumy Gallery. Sumy chronicled life in the area for decades!!All programs are at 7PM in the Town’s Municipal Center across from the Grand Union (except September’s). Your presence is welcome, and all programs are free and open to the public.

Little’s bill signed into lawALBANY — Two bills sponsored by Sen-

ator Betty Little were signed into law byGov. Andrew Cuomo on Aug. 1.

The first allows municipalities andschool districts in New York to jointly con-tract for goods and services with any oth-er federal, state or local governmentagency.

This cooperative purchasing, alsoknown as piggybacking, allows municipal-ities and schools to secure products or serv-ices at a lower cost by joining a contract fora vendor that was used by another govern-ment agency.

“This saves money and time, and its tim-ing is obviously critical given the financialpressure local governments and schoolsare under,” Little said in a prepared state-ment.

Various municipal associations advocat-

ed for the measure.The second law benefits micro-hydro-

electric generation enterprises by expand-ing remote net metering for benefits forsuch entrepreneurs.

The new law will allow farm operations,customers with land in agricultural pro-duction, or non-residential customers toapply credit received for power deliveredto the electric grid to any of the customer'smeters rather than only to a single, direct-ly connected meter as long as the metersare located on the customers propertywithin the same utility territory.

“This provides parity for micro-hydrogenerators, encouraging investment in thistechnology which is good for business andthe environment,” Little said.

The New York Farm Bureau and Alliancefor Clean Energy New York supported themeasure.

Both laws are effective immediately.

WARRENSBURG — Dozens of customerscrowding Oscar ’s Smoke House Friday Aug.10 saw an unfamiliar sight while they werebuying the landmark business’s renownedsmoked meats — a man wearing a tie andbusiness slacks behind the counter.

It was Matt Doheny, Republican candidatefor the new 21st Congressional District.

Doheny was at the smokehouse Friday af-ternoon to take a tour of the operation andhear the concerns of Oscar ’s owner JerryQuintal — as part of Doheny’s “50 Business-es in 50 Days” tour.

Moving from one processing room to an-other, Doheny (R-Watertown) heard abouthow the three-generation business hadachieved regional acclaim and nationalprominence.

Loyal employees prepare top-qualitymeats according to exclusive family recipes,Quintal explained.

The result is an Adirondack businessthat’s flourishing and growing, in an era andregional economy that has formidable chal-lenges, Doheny noted.

During the 45-minute tour, Doheny askeddetailed questions about Oscar ’s operation,including processing techniques and equip-ment, as well as marketing and governmen-tal regulations.

Emerging from the enterprise’s process-ing areas, Doheny said he was impressed.

“Oscar ’s has top-flight products, loyalcustomers and great advertising — and un-matched marketing with Rachael Ray as agood customer,” Doheny said.

He added he was particularly moved byhow Quintal kept his employees on the pay-

roll when the business was stricken from adevastating fire burned Oscar ’s to theground in 2009 — and it was rebuilt from theground up.

“I came here to learn about the challengesAdirondack businesses face, and to under-stand Jerry’s concerns — so I can speak inWashington for him and other entrepreneursin the North Country,” Doheny said.

Doheny said that if elected, among his toppriorities will be helping existing business-es grow and creating a business-friendly cli-mate that will spawn new jobs.

After hearing that Oscar ’s submits reportsregularly to a half-dozen state and federalagencies, Doheny noted that streamlininggovernment regulations is one of his pri-mary objectives.

Doheny’s tour this week included the Es-sex County Fair and Normandy Beach Re-sort, both in Westport, as well as BartonMines in Johnsburg.

Doheny’s proposed tourism and businessoriented initiatives include reducing thestate gas tax, maintaining the current mini-mum wage, and forming a broad-basedtourism council that would boost coordina-tion among various existing tourism agen-cies and organizations.

In the new 21st Congressional District,Doheny is running against U.S. Rep. BillOwens (D-Plattsburgh), and Green Partycandidate Donald Hassig.

After Doheny left Oscar ’s Friday to tourHillman Trucking and Fort Edward Expressof South Glens Falls, Quintal said he appre-ciated the candidate’s visit.

“It was great that Matt took the time totour our enterprise,” Quintal said. “He wasreally interested and curious about the de-tails of our business.”

Doheny tours Oscar’s Smoke House

Reviewing some smoked petite hams, Congressional candidate Matt Doheny (R-Watertown) talks about meatprocessing techniques with Jerry Quintal, owner of Oscar’s Smoke House of Warrensburg. Doheny touredOscar’s as part of his ‘50 Days — 50 Businesses’ tour that he said is intended to familiarize him with the chal-lenges that North Country businesses are facing, and identify potential ways to boost their enterprises aswell as prevailing economic conditions.

LAKE GEORGE — The youth summer recreation programrun by the Lake George Youth Commission was inspectedAug. 2 by the state Health Department and was cited for fiveviolations, but town officials are questioning the charges.

Town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson reported MondayAug. 13 that the Health Department has classified the pro-gram — on the basis that it has at least five youngsters at-tending — as a “Children’s Camp,” which requires having aMedical Director on staff as well as an Aquatics Director tooversee the swimming sessions the program offers.

The inspection report said that compliance and issuanceof a Children’s Camp permit was mandatory for the programto continue operations.

Town Board member Vinnie Crocitto said Monday that thetown’s summer recreation program has been operated sinceat least the early 1970s without any serious incident, and iswell staffed with counselors.

Dickinson said this was the first time in 45 years theHealth Department has conducted an inspection, so he wastaken aback by the alleged violations.

Crocitto said the Health Department’s classification of theprogram as a Children’s Camp might curtail swimming ifnot shut down the program, if left unchallenged.

“We’re concerned this could curtail our program,” Crocit-to said.

The inspection report also said that a complete safety plan

was lacking. Besides having an qualified medical director onstaff, the program must include obtaining and maintainingimmunization and medical records on children attending, aswell as keeping a medical log and providing for special med-ical and dietary needs.

In addition, the program didn’t have a “buddy board” inuse, nor employ a buddy system with safety practice rou-tines performed, Dickinson said.

The program is operated five days per week for six weeksduring mid-summer. Based at the Lake George CentralSchool bus garage, children play tennis, dodgeball and var-ious ball games on adjacent recreation fields as well as ping-pong in the garage, Crocitto said.

Dickinson said the town was notified that the bus garagedidn’t meet state requirements. He said the inspectors saidit must have a ramp for access by “campers” with mobilitychallenges, and needed handicapped rest rooms to be con-structed. The Commission was also cited for oil stains on thebus garage floor, he said.

Dickinson questioned whether an Aquatics Director real-ly needed to be hired. He noted that the swimming, whichis offered from noon to 3 p.m. at Shepard Park Beach near-by, is conducted under the auspices of the lifeguards em-ployed by the Village.

Dickinson said Monday that he’s setting up a meeting be-tween health department representatives, board membersand various community members to see if the “Children’sCamp” classification could be changed, and reach an agree-ment with state officials to resolve the other issues.

WARRENSBURG — Six county supervisors took a short respite from thepressures of public policy and competed in a round of croquet at the War-ren County Rural Heritage Festival held Saturday Aug. 11 on the countyfairgrounds.

Dubbed the “Supervisors Challenge,” the politicians were recruited byWarrensburgh Historical Society Croquetmaster Delbert Chambers to boostcountywide involvement in the festival.

Chambers was on the field to referee and resolve any rules dispute, whichisn’t rare among politicians, but his judiciary talents weren't put to use.

The Supervisors Challenge didn’t have any of the contentious aspects ofpolitics, observers noted, and the players each had a fair-sized entourageoffering support from the sidelines.

The six players were a less than a third of the 20 county supervisors, sothey didn’t represent a quorum, which would have squelched any talk aboutofficial business.

The croquet contest was intended to boost the sport, introducing 21st-century citizens people to the game that was very popular at the turn of the20th century. It remained quite popular into the 1960s, then receded, buthas recently experienced a resurgence, despite the advent of extreme sports.

In the 1890s, croquet could be considered somewhat extreme, in thatyoung ladies would be watched carefully by their chaperones to make surethey did not expose an ankle when playing in the company of young men.No chaperones were visible at the 2012 Festival, however.

Participating in the contest were county supervisors Kevin Geraghty ofWarrensburg, Evelyn Wood of Thurman, Frank Thomas of Stony Creek,Gene Merlino of Lake Luzerne, Ron Vanselow of Johnsburg, and DavidStrainer of Queensbury.

With savvy tactics and accurate shots, Merlino won.After the game, he described the competition as “fierce.”“Host supervisor Kevin Geraghty really wanted to win, but I’m a person

that doesn't like to come in second,” he said.

Warren County leaders find catharsis in croquet

Its members include the Foundation of CVPH Medical Center,Elizabethtown Community Hospital, Clinton & Essex County Public Health and Sheriff Departments, ACAP, NYS Police, and JCEO. Safe Kids Adirondack is a member of Safe Kids Worldwide, a global network of organizations dedicated to preventing unintentional injury.

Families Must Make Safety a Priority While HikingHiking boots? Check. Water? Check. Safety guidelines? A must! Fall is a great time for the family to get out and go for a hike, the cooler temperatures and beautiful changing foliage beckons. While the preparations for a family hiking trip usually include a review of the necessary gear, parents should also review safety guidelines with their children, paying special attention to potential haz-ards specifi c to camping, hiking, outdoor recreation, and falls.

“Going camping or hiking can be wonderful activities for parents to do with their children, but it is essential to remember key safety guidelines as you’ll be leav-ing the daily environment your kids are used to,” says Kerry Haley, Safe Kids Adirondack co-coordinator. “A campfi re is a serious responsibility because it’s the only situation where a family is purposely starting a fi re outdoors and a long way from a pressurized water supply or the nearest fi re engine.”

Keep these guidelines in mind while camping and hiking:

• Keep matches and lighters out of the reach of children.

• Always actively supervise children near a campfi re or portable stove. Follow posted rules about campfi res, and do not light fi res in windy or excessively dry conditions.

• Keep a bucket of water and a shovel near the fi re at all times, and extinguish the fi re completely before going to sleep or leaving the site.

• Keep fi rst aid supplies and emergency phone numbers handy, and know where the nearest phone is located. Cell phones might not work in remote areas.

• Let friends and relatives know where you are going and when you are com-ing home.

• Never let children hike alone.

• Dress children in layers of clothing to help prevent heat-related illness and hypothermia. A child’s body temperature changes faster than an adult’s.

• Do not push kids to go on a longer or more strenuous hike than they can handle. Exhausted children are more likely to fall, wander off or otherwise get injured.

• Bring plenty of drinking water or sports drinks and high-energy snacks like the Caramel, Peanut Butter, Apple snack in the Kidsville Kitchen Recipe.

• Kids should wear hiking boots and clothing that offers protection from scrapes, bites and poisonous plants. Following the manufacturer’s instruc-tions, apply insect repellent to a child’s clothing and exposed skin.

• Apply sunscreen rated SPF 15 or higher to your child’s exposed skin 15 to 30 minutes before going out, and reapply frequently. It is possible to get a sunburn in the Fall even in cloudy conditions.

QUEENSBURY — Warren Countyleaders took an initial step Aug. 8 to-ward getting more abandoned proper-ties back on the tax rolls.

The county Finance Committee vot-ed unanimously to set up a fund to pro-vide for environmental testing of prop-erties the county acquires through fore-closure proceedings to recoup unpaidproperty taxes.

The fund is to be bankrolled with aportion of the proceeds from each an-nual tax sale.

Over the past few decades, the coun-ty has not taken title to properties theyacquire if there is any question ofwhether the property is contaminatedwith hazardous substances that mightprompt authorities to mandate an ex-pensive cleanup.

Steering away from acquiring suchproperties has left the title of the prop-erties in limbo, stalled potential sitecleanup, and boosted the amount of un-

paid taxes.This proposed new measure calls for

taking 50 percent of proceeds in excessof $100,00 from the 2012 tax sale to setup an environmental testing fund thatwill help determine the appropriatecourse for particular plots of land. Insubsequent years, the percentage ofproceeds of the tax sale to go towardsthe fund would be 25 percent.

The initiative, promoted this week bycounty Treasurer Mike Swan, calls forthe county to take temporary title — arelatively new provision under statelaw to help clean up brownfields —while environmental testing is per-formed.

Depending on the test results, thecounty would then put the property upfor public sale, or seek to have the statespearhead an environmental cleanup,Swan said.

“No longer will we have propertiesjust sitting out there,” Swan said to thesupervisors at the committee meeting.

Warren county now has three proper-ties in limbo that are accruing ever-

higher balances of unpaid taxes.One is the old gas station on state Rte.

8 in the hamlet of Johnsburg. Authori-ties have said that underground fueltanks are present on the half-acre plot.With the property title in limbo, theplot’s owner hasn't paid taxes on itsince 1989, Swan said.

Another brownfield property nowoff the tax rolls is the former Haguetown dump, which was sold in 1970 toan individual.

The third is the site of a former ma-chine shop and foundry next to the C.R.Bard plant off Bay Road in Queensbury.

Supervisors praised the initiative,which is subject to approval by the fullcounty Board of Supervisors at theirmeeting Friday Aug. 17.

“This is a terrific proposal,” BoltonSupervisor Ron Conover said.

Chester Supervisor Fred Monroeagreed.

“Now, liens get so big on these dis-tressed properties that the county nev-er gets their money back — this meas-ure will address that problem.”

16 - Adirondack Journal - Outdoors www.adirondackjournal.com August 18, 2012

In the past few weeks, I’ve been involved in a number ofdiscussions regarding the recent state purchase of landsfrom the Adirondack Nature Conservancy. The pur-

chase includes several large parcels of timberlands, and nu-merous hunting and fishing clubs that leased these lands.

I know what it is like to lose a lease. I am reminded of thesentiment every time I return to Lows Lake and the Bog RiverFlow. As a young man, I traveled into the region frequentlyas a guest of the Grasse Pond Hunting and Fishing Club.

After the state purchased the land, I continued to return,and although the old camp was gone, I still knew the land farbetter than most visitors. I knew where the springholes were,and where big brook trout could be found during the fall, ordirectly after ice out.

Similarly, the former leaseholders of lands on the Bog RiverFlow, the vast Whitney Park or in nearby Robinwood had aunique knowledge of their own special areas. They knewwhere the deer were, and how to set up a drive and where toset out the watcher.

Even after public access was eventually granted to theseformer private lands, no one knew the area as well as formerlease holders and they returned often to take advantage ofthat knowledge.

While many no longer had their own private camp, theystill had an attachment to the land, and there was no cost for alease. While there is still bitterness over the state purchaseseven after decades have passed, I now realize how selfish wewere to think we owned the land. In reality, we only rented itfor a short time.

These lands will remain far beyond our brief stay on thisearth, and fortunately, a large portion of them will now re-main much as they were when they first were found, andlikely far into the future.

In a similar fashion, members of the many hunting, fishingand sportsmens clubs that leased lands on the Essex Chain ofLake, the Boreas Ponds, the Hudson River and other proper-ties in southern Essex County will likely maintain a positiverelationship with their former haunts. Even though The Na-ture Conservancy sold the lands to New York State, these for-mer club members will still have the upper hand when itcomes to knowing the lay of the land. Undoubtedly, in somecases there are third and possibly even fourth generations offormer leaseholders, who love these lands as if they weretheir own. And there is no doubt they have treated them ac-cordingly.

There is and likely always will be, a conundrum of opinionover the development, or protection of wild lands, especiallyin rural areas. While the protection of park land in the mid-dle of New York City is of obvious benefit to local residents, itis not such a clear chose in rural areas, such as the Adiron-dacks and Catskills, where park lands are much more preva-lent.

In the Northeast, the remaining wild lands feature a mix ofboth state and federally protected parkland, as well as man-aged timberlands and large private estates and other inhold-ings.

Although large tracts of managed timberlands are locatedadjacent to designated wilderness lands, in both the Adiron-dacks and elsewhere, land designation is often an arbitrary la-bel. Over the years, I’ve traveled through the wilderness andencountered crowds that resembled Times Square on NewYears eve.

Conversely, I’ve driven in motor vehicles through vasttracts of seemingly untracked territory on private lands thathave been in the hands of the same families since the 1800’s.One particularly massive Adirondack property has been inprivate hands since 1848, and it remains as wild, or wilder to-day than it was when it was originally purchased.

Developed lands are quite easy to find throughout theNortheast, however truly wild lands are almost impossible tofind. Although the term ‘wilderness’ is often tossed around,there are many who would argue that there is no true wilder-ness left in the East. It is an argument that has some teeth, de-spite a few vast parcels.

When wild lands are taken out of production, there will al-most always be a loss of industry, raw materials and a varietyof jobs associated with woodlands and extractive industries.Many of these positions have become family heirlooms thatwere handed down from father to son and beyond.

There is an ongoing debate over the use of wild lands, andthe best, and most productive economic benefit. Wildernessdesignation ensures the availability of other resources andvalues, such as scenic beauty, peace and quiet, and opportuni-ties for solitude into the indefinite future.

Those values, and their long-term protection, may attractor retain residents, vacationers and the businesses that servethem. Homes in close proximity to public recreational trailshave a resale value that average about 20-25 percent higherthan comparable properties that are not located close to atrail.

Protected lands that provide public recreational opportuni-ties increase the quality of life for local residents, as well asvisitors. These lands increasingly provide opportunities for asustainable future, and healthy lifestyles.

Gold and silver are considered valuable because they arerare minerals. If the same vein of thought, it is obvious thatwild lands are a similarly, rare commodity. Similar to veins ofgold or silver, the likelihood of discovering a new vein of to-

tally wild lands is pretty slim,so it is wise to bank and protectwhat we currently have.

Undeveloped land is a finiteproperty, which continues tobecome increasingly rare espe-cially in modern times. As aresult, it becomes obvious thatwe must protect the limitedsupplies we already have, andcontinue our efforts to uncovermore.

Extraction industries last only as long as the resource isavailable. When all of the materials are gone, so are the jobs.However, wild lands not only retain their original value, theirvalue will continue to increase in value as time goes on.Rivers and streams, lakes and ponds, mountains and valleysare a renewable resource, and the protection of wild lands isan investment in our future.

I recognize that such a statement is considered blasphemyto many proponents of property rights, yet I have come to un-derstand the reality of our legacy. If we don’t take care of ourwild lands and promote efforts to secure more, who will. Formore than two centuries, Americans have consumed andtamed the land at an alarming pace.

It has been estimated that every day, nearly nine squaremiles of rural land are lost to development. In the UnitedStates, we gobble up land at an alarming rate, and we oftenneglect the little bits of land that we do manage to protect.

If you don’t believe it, please experience if you will, theraging traffic pouring into and out of the Boston area, NewYork City or Washington DC on any given day. Or spend afew hours experiencing what it is like to be stuck in traffic onthe Beltway on a hot Sunday afternoon.

In the Adirondacks, many residents are blind to such reali-ties. We complain when we are stuck in a slow moving line ofcars, or behind a snowplow that is moving at a snail’s speed.

But all that is required to grasp the reality of the situation isto take a drive beyond the borders of this wild bubble ofparkland we call home. We are spoiled, and myopic to be-lieve that protected lands are of less value than developedlands. These same lands are often at our very doorstep. Thevast majority of these lands are utilized very lightly, and pri-marily just during the summer months.

I like the fact that I can walk out my back door, and travelnearly 30 miles or more in any direction from my home.

And since state park lands are free and open to the public,local residents have an opportunity to utilize them muchmore often than visitors, and in fact, we do. One of the mostrecent studies conducted to gauge the number of Forest Pre-serve users, reveals that local residents constitute the majorityof users. Not only are local residents in the majority, we alsoutilize state lands more frequently than visitors from out ofthe area.

While some still believe there are just too many restrictionsgoverning the use of land in the Adirondack Park, there aresome who believe the restrictions are not tough enough.

With a free campingpermit, I can legally es-tablish a campsite onmost state lands for upto two weeks in one lo-cation.

If I set up a camp onSept. 1, and renew thepermit two weeks laterto be used as a huntingcamp, I can maintain thecampsite for the dura-tion of the big gamehunting season, whichruns into the first weekof December. That’sroughly four months ofcamping on state land,and it is all rent free. Tryto see how that goesover in Central Park.

Displaced, but still tied to the land

Gadget and GizmosEverything the Bass fisherman thinkshe needs:

There was a time yearsago when fishing wassimple. I’d grab a rod

and reel and jump in thewooden homemade jonboatwith my granddad, crank the 3hp Johnson outboard and put-ter to our favorite fishing hole.We would drown a coupledozen minnows catching whitebass, crappie or largemouthbass until dark and then putterback home. Life was good.

Not today. Now it’s hook upthe 21-foot Ranger bass boatand trailer with the gas guz-zling 250 horsepower Evin-rude ETech motor, drop half a house payment at the gas pumpfilling it all up, pull it to some far away lake, buzz around at a ca-sual 50-plus mph, all the time watching the screen of a state of theart Lowrance GPS with depth locator, 3-D imaging, contouredNavionics maps showing rock piles, ledges and points, lookingfor that magic fishing spot, hoping it holds the next 20-poundstringer of bass to load into a 25-gallon live well with fill pumps,automatic recirculating pumps, oxygen tank, and special aerationsystems to keep the oxygen content at as high as possible. If it’sgoing to be a long day we can add ice and Rejuvenade that by themanufacture’s claim revitalizes our catch. I have a trolling motorwith intuitibe programing that will follow a contoured depthbreak with the simple push of a button on the remote on my rightwrist, so not a single one of those little green fish will get away.

You won’t find the old paper bag with a baloney sandwich andcoke on this boat. What you will find is 20 gallon built-in insultedcooler large enough to hold three days of electrolyte drinks, ener-gy bars and various flavored waters along with enough baloney,mustard and gluten-free bread to feed myself and half of Wad-hams.

Of course, the old Mitchell 300 spinning reel taped to my 6-footfiberglass rod has since been replaced by at least a dozen highmodulus graphic rods with ceramic eyes matched with 10 ballbearing bait caster reels and another 6 or so 7-foot medium actionspinning rods with high speed 8 ball bearing spinning reels. Allcozily sit in a rod locker on board with fitted holders to protectthe very expensive and sensitive cargo. Each rod has its ownfunction: there are topwater rods, frog sticks, spinner-bait rods,worm rods I and II, flipping sticks and drop shot rods and on andon. If there is a type of lure there is a special type of rod. Then,there are several different types of fishing line from monofilamentto Copolymer, to Braid to Fluorocarbon all in combinations of linestrength from 8-pound for finesse fishing to 12-pound forcrankbaiting to 20-pound for flipping.

Are you confused yet? How about lures? It used to be just the classic Zara Spook in-

vented by James Heddon over 100 years ago. Now it’s evolved todozens of versions of topwater lures from Japan or China all withcreative looks to resemble a real fish, with magic designs and col-ors. And after spending $15 to $25 for this very realistic lure wehave to send it to “Buddy Bill” who charges another $15 to stripthe factory color scheme and replace it with a special one –of- a-kind paint job that more resembles a minnow that bass are likelyfeeding on today. Since this column is about to end, I’ll save foranother time the types of spinnerbaits, jerkbaits, chatterbaits,crankbaits, jigs and soft plastic baits that only the mind of a bassfisherman can dream up.

All this…and we still have to explain to our wives that we doin fact need all this to catch a silly green fish with a big mouth.Somehow, I don’t think the loves of our lives believe us.

Invasive weedfrom page 1

under driveways and breaks up asphalt. It’salso known to grow through cracks in con-crete walls, ruining foundations.

“Some banks won’t write mortgages forproperties that have Japanese Knotweedpresent on site,” he said.

After waging his own personal battle forthree months with Japanese Knotweed in hisown back yard as well as his neighbors’,Wulfken decided recently to turn his effortinto a crusade that will help others identifythe pernicious weed and take efforts towardcontrolling it.

“I’d like to let others know what a threatthis weed can be, how it spreads like crazyand how much damage it can cause,” hesaid.

Wulfken contacted town officials and vol-unteered to conduct curbside inspections,inform homeowners who have the weed ontheir property, and distribute brochuresdoor-to-door describing the weed’s threat— and detailing methods of controlling it.

Warrensburg Town Supervisor Kevin Ger-aghty said at the Aug. 8 town meeting he’shappy to take Wulfken up on his offer. Townofficials praised Wulfken for demonstratinggood citizenship in investing time to protectpeople’s property values and eliminate aweed that can be a burden to homeowners.

Japanese knotweed is considered one ofthe world’s most aggressive invasivespecies. Its ability to propagate from cut-tings or plant parts have led to it being clas-sified as “Controlled Waste” in Britain,

where it’s illegal to plant or spread. Uproot-ed Japanese Knotweed in the U.K. must beburned or go to a licensed disposal facility.

The species can be identified by its ovalleaves and hollow stems with distinct nodesthat resemble young bamboo plants.

Stems may reach 12 feet tall each year,even after they are cut back to the ground.The flowers are compound vertical blos-soms, cream or white, that appear in late

summer or early fall.Wulfken warned that getting rid of the

plant is difficult, as if it’s cut down, it vig-orously re-sprouts from its roots.

The most effective method of control is bykilling the entire plant, including the rootsby using a specific herbicide applicationmethod just prior to its flowering stage, orabout now — late summer.

This method calls for injecting a smallamount of herbicide into the hollow stems,so it flows down into the roots.

Kathy Bozony, Natural Resource Special-ist for the environmental group Fund forLake George, explained the process to themembers several weeks ago to the NorthernLake George Rotary Club.

In her talk on Japanese Knotweed, shewarned the Rotarians about how pervasiveit now was in Bolton, Hague and Silver Bay,among other lakeside communities.

The hypodermic-like device she de-scribed is manufactured by JK Injection Sys-tems, and costs about $200. She recommend-ed using the herbicide Habitat or Aquamas-

ter, substances that can be used near water-ways, or the more common Rodeo —all ofwhich are glyphosate preparations.

Plant has its positive aspectsIn the meantime, people can make Japan-

ese Knotweed tea or cook the leaves, whichare a good a source of resveratrol, which canreduce blood sugar levels, serves as an anti-inflammatory agent, and boosts longevity insome vertebrates.

Furthermore, it is believed to combat can-cer, slow tumor growth and may be an anti-aging compound. Also, some studies indi-cate it can dramatically reduce plaque de-posits in brains, and may serve to slow or re-verse Alzheimer ’s symptoms.

However, Japanese Knotweed doesspread like crazy and overpower nativeplants, Bozony warned, as she lauded thenew momentum in Warrensburg to rein inthe spread of the pervasive plant.

“If this campaign is conducted as a com-munity effort over several years, it will go along way to keep Japanese Knotweed undercontrol,” she said.

John Wulfken of Warrensburg holds a branch of Japanese Knotweed, a plant that is aggressively taking over vacant plots, waterway corridors as well as back yardsin the region. Wulfken has volunteered to spread the word around town about the threat of the plant and how it can be controlled.


Property upkeep lawfrom page 1

steps, walkways and driveways also need to be kept in goodrepair.

The law also prohibits accumulation of debris, andgarbage cans with lids must be provided and used. The or-dinance also prohibits placing food out for animals in a man-ner that allows pests, rodents or wild animals to be attract-ed to their property.

Although resident Rich Larkin praised the board withtheir work to improve the town, he also spoke of the hard-ship some residents might face in complying with the pro-

posed law.“Senior citizens on a fixed income might not be able to re-

build their porch, for instance,” he said. “We all want to im-prove Warrensburg, but do we send our seniors down theroad if they can’t afford to live here? It’s a slippery slope youare walking on.”

Town resident Richelene Morey objected to how exten-sively the law was written. Board members responded thatit was written with such provisions to prevent a variety ofsituations that degrade local quality of life and depressproperty values.

She warned that although the present board might not in-tend to strictly enforce the law, a subsequent board might beover-aggressive in its enforcement.

“You might not be here in several years — You need totweak this law,” she said. Morey objected to how extensive-ly the proposed law mandated snow cleanup.

Geraghty later responded that this provision, which waspartially duplicated in existing town law, would likely bescrapped.

Larry Perna of River St. said property owners shouldn’tbe forced to paint their houses.

Geraghty responded that the proposed law didn’t requirepainting house siding. The proposed law, however, requiresa “weatherproof coating,” like paint or varnish, of virtuallyanything affixed to a house. Geraghty and Deputy Supervi-sor John Alexander said this provision would be subject tofurther discussion.

“We’re not going to be the paint police,” Alexander said.Some residents criticized the provision that lawns must bemowed, and grass must not exceed 10 inches in height.

Town Board member Linda Marcella responded that longgrass hosted rodents and ticks, posing a threat to publichealth.

Perna noted that the grass on some town-owned proper-ties was now over a foot tall. “Who’s going to tell the townto clean up their properties?” he asked.

Geraghty responded later he appreciated the input, andthat town officials would take care of such issues.

Resident Tina Sackman said the board should be carefulnot to be too extensive in their prohibitions, as a mixture oflifestyles is what made Warrensburg interesting.

“I came from a ‘Stepford Wives’ suburban neighborhood,”she said. “I love how people here have their own sense ofstyle.”

She said that she was concerned that after the town forcescleanup of 10 or so “atrocious” properties, town officialsmight go further and venture into dictating taste. The boardmembers responded that this would not occur.

Robert Greene noted he owned 100 acres, and a portion ofit had frontage on Main St.

The law, as written, would force the removal of limbs oftrees back in his remote woods, far from the street and outof view, he said.

Greene also objected to the prohibition of setting out feedfor animals. Also, the law could be interpreted, as written,to prohibit keeping firewood on one’s property, or a refuse

container in one’s house, he said. “This law infringes on ourfreedoms,” Green said.

Geraghty later said he’d review the provisions with thetown attorney to assure the ordinance wasn’t too strict.

Board member Bryan Rounds said the law would be usedto clean up the most offensive properties. He said that thecounty and state codes already have similar mandates, anda local law means would allow faster enforcement that wasmore responsive to local situations and circumstances.

Alexander noted that some time ago, a property near hishome posed a public health and safety hazard — and theneighbors circulated petitions — but they were stymied intheir efforts to force a cleanup, in part due to lack of a locallaw.

Marcella said the town had received many complaints onproperty conditions, including one plot where a homeown-er piled garbage in their car and in an unkempt back yardthat contained an abandoned vehicle — conditions thatposed a health hazard for those living in homes nearby.

“It’s a matter of reining in bad neighbors,“ she said. “Peo-ple should have the right to protect their health and prop-erty values.”

WARRENSBURG — In recentmonths, Warrensburg water districtresidents have had notices delivered totheir door, received phone calls andseen news articles urging them to callthe town hall to get a new waters me-ter installed in their homes.

Yet despite a looming deadline, mostof the homeowners — 672 of the 1,112residential water customers — havenot yet complied.

As of Sept. 1, those homeowners whodon’t make an appointment to get a wa-ter meter installed will pay a flat $500annual fee for their water instead of thepresent $195 rate.

The Warrensburg Town Board set the$500 fee Wednesday Aug. 8 to promptpeople to have a meter installed, be-cause the town is converting to a sys-tem in which water customers arecharged based on volume used ratherthan paying flat fees set by householdpopulation and other factors.

If the water meter in one’s householdis more than a year old, it most likelyneeds to be replaced, town officials

said, observing that the lack of compli-ance with the water meter installationeffort is probably due to confusionamong district residents.

The meter conversion effort followsan initiative started in the early 1990sto charge homeowners for the gallon-age used. Although meters were in-stalled over the last 18 years or so, aprevious town administration put theeffort on hold, and a flat charge re-mained in place.

Those water meters now need to beupgraded to allow for modern billingmethods, Warrensburg Town ClerkDonna Combs said.

Town Supervisor Kevin Geraghtynoted that the pending switchover tobilling by volume means fair chargesfor all, while reducing costs for the wa-ter district, which then lowers chargesto water customers.

With the partial installation of me-ters, the town has already reduced theconsumption of water by 30,000 gal-lons per day, which is now saving localtaxpayers tens of thousands of dollarsin pumping and purification costs aswell as sewage treatment expenses.The district pumps about 300,000 gal-

lons of water per day out of its fourwells.

After the 673 remaining householdsare converted to water meters, thisdrastic reduction in water consump-tion is expected to increase, generatingfurther savings for all residents andbusinesses in the water district, Ger-aghty said.

Commercial properties have alreadycomplied with the mandate to have wa-ter meters installed, and that conver-sion effort is complete. The commercialwater customers are now being billedby usage.

The new billing system is set to startin September, with households to bebilled $195 for the first 20,000 gallons,plus $1.95 for every 1,000 gallons over20,000 gallons used, according toplans, Combs said.

Water district superintendentThomas Belden noted that the averagewater consumption per person in theU.S. is 100 gallons per day per person.

The average customer of the War-rensburg Water district, residential andcommercial combined, uses 88,592 gal-lons per year, according to figures pro-vided by the town.
