Photo by Thom Randall Veterans groups to honor fallen soldiers Relatives: suicide is no answer By Thom Randall [email protected]WARRENSBURG — With somber faces, about 50 friends and relatives of Courtney Mae Swinton — a local teenager who took her own life last year — listened May 18 as the girl’s mother, Evie Swin- ton, stepped up before them to talk about her daughter’s death and the deep grief it prompted. “On Feb. 20, 2010, I got the most horrific phone call a parent can get,” she said, wiping tears from her eyes, shaded by sunglasses. “I didn’t believe, or even understand the call when I got it — my daughter had taken her life.” The dozens of people were gathered for a me- morial ceremony for Courtney, held on the grounds of Warren County Cornell Cooperative Extension on Schroon River Road. The ceremony included planting a Japanese lilac tree memorializing Courtney, as well as rel- atives and friends describing the girl’s character, and her vivacious, friendly, peace-loving nature. But Evie Swinton’s words propelled the cere- mony further — to achieve a broader purpose. She said she is seeking, in Courtney’s memory, to help spare other area families from experienc- ing such awful anguish, by urging parents and friends to reach out to troubled teens, and estab- lish heart-to-heart bonds. Also, she stressed to youth that suicide offers no solution. “I urge parents to look beyond their child’s words — look for behavior, for clues that some- thing is not right,” Swinton said. “And be open to your child; listen to them without judging them, so they will turn to you when they need to.” She also said that her daughter’s suicide had changed her life radically, and plunged her into grief that hasn’t receded with time. “Not only did I lose Courtney, I lost myself, my family and my friends, because I have closed my- self off from them,” she said, noting that almost all her time is now spent shut in at home. “I do not feel I have the right to be happy — laughing and living without my daughter,” she added, not- ing that suicide prompts deep pain in loved ones. “Young people who are stressed, please turn to someone you trust for help — a friend, relative, teacher, pastor, anyone,” she continued.

Memorial Day:
Where it all began For most Americans, Memorial Day kicks off the beginning of summer. Although everyone considers this long weekend to be perfect for family get togethers, the Indy 500 and wearing a red poppy, its significance is rarely ignored: Everyone knows that at 3pm, it’s important to take that minute to remember the men and women who sacrificed their lives to help make this country what it is today. However, does everyone know how Memorial Day came to be?
Most believe that Memorial Day began in Waterloo; few people are aware of what some historians believe to be its true beginnings. According to Professor David Blight of the Yale University History Department, the first Memorial Day was observed at what is now known
as Hampton Park in Charleston, South Carolina. The Park had a mass grave for the Union soldiers who had died there. When the civil war was over, former slaves exhumed the bodies from the mass grave and reburied them in individual ones. They built a fence around the new grave site and declared it a Union graveyard. On May 1, 1865, a Charleston newspaper reported that almost ten thousand, mostly African American residents, walked in procession to the park for a day of celebration that included sermons, singing and picnics; creating what was initially called, “Decoration Day.”
The current name, “Memorial Day” was first used in 1882, although not every state called it that until after World War II. It was finally declared the official name in 1967 by Federal law. Although not every state celebrates it on the same day (the Southern states each have their own day for it), it is nevertheless still celebrated everywhere with parades, picnics, sermons and s ilence.
“What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the
world remains immortal.”

WARRENSBURG — A community gardenis to be developed soon in the hamlet of War-rensburg, and while the concept has generalsupport, the placement of the garden plots— with optimum planting time now at hand— is yet to be finalized.
Discussion was held at the recent MayWarrensburg Town Board meeting about lo-cating a community garden downtown onthe lawn of the town-owned building thathosts the Chamber of Commerce and townSenior Center.
At the town board meeting, there wereconcerns raised by Chamber representativesabout losing spaces on their lawn tradition-ally rented to vendors for the annual World’slargest Garage Sale event.
However, town board member BryanRounds suggested that the Chamber contactother businesses in the area to see if new, al-ternate sites could be used for the sale.
Warrensburg Beautification official TeresaWhalen urged that the garden be kept intown so it was accessible to the most num-ber of people who otherwise wouldn’t havea convenient plot. A portion of the produceraised in the garden is to go to the local foodpantry, she said.
Town employees will soon be tilling thesoil and constructing the garden beds, andtown Supervisor Kevin Geraghty pledged todonate seed, Whalen said.
“We’re excited about this — we’d like tosee more programs come out of this,” shesaid, noting that the Senior Center nearbycould be used for cooking and nutritionclasses.
Councilman Dean Ackley questioned thelocation of the Farmer ’s Market on RiverStreet, raising concerns about pedestrianand traffic safety, noting that vehicles cometo sudden stops at the market and parkalongside the narrow roadway. Whalen,market coordinator, responded that the mar-ket had flourished there for 13 years with noincidents. Supervisor Geraghty replied thathe will continue to work on safety concernsin the area and suggested more signage forparking locations be placed on River Street.
He noted that Curtis Lumber has been agood neighbor for the market, allowingparking in their lot nearby. He also said thatwith the Milton Avenue bridge scheduled toopen again this summer, some of the presenttraffic will avoid the market.
Councilman Markey also expressed hisconcerns about traffic safety, but Roundsand Councilman John Alexander expressedsupport for the enterprise, with Roundscommenting that motorists do indeed needto slow down in that stretch of River Street.
It was decided the market will continuein its present location.
Appointments to board pendingGeraghty announced that two local resi-
dents, Kathleen Ferullo and Alan F. Smith,have applied for an appointment to the localBoard of Assessment Review. Both will beconsidered for one position on Board of As-sessment Review that is open as of Septem-ber. Ferullo now serves on the board.
A bid was received for one 216-acre parcelof the town watershed land from J & A LakeGeorge Properties in the amount of $99,500.This bid was rejected and the Supervisor willlook into whether the Board can negotiate ahigher bid price with the sole bidder. Thisproperty for sale is located off Alden Av-enue.
A report from the town assessor noted thatthe town has obtained an equalization ratefrom the state of 100 percent this year, whichindicates the town assessor is arriving at ac-curate figures, Geraghty said.
Public works projects progressingThe town public works crew welcomes
two new employees, Chip Webster and Tra-cy Benoit. Town Highway employees havebeen busy cleaning up roadways and takingaway landscape debris hauled to the curb byresidents, it was reported. A portion ofAlden Avenue is now slated for paving. Theworkers have been busy installing sewerpipe on Library Avenue, which should befinished in a matter of days, Supervisor Ger-
aghty said May 24.A similar new sewer line is to be installed
soon on Thomson Street, he said.Weather permitting, town workers will be
continuing their preparation of the newYouth Football field at the Town RecreationField for seeding.
At Mark Bruce Park on Hudson Street,town employees have been installing anoth-er baseball field. Concerns were raised at thetown meeting why nine mature pine treeswere removed, and Geraghty replied thatthey had “red rot” disease and were re-moved due to safety concerns. New treeswill be planted in the fall with help from theWarrensburg Beautification Committee, hesaid.
Discussion occurred over standardizingthe Chamber ’s rules and town regulationson what can and should be sold during theWorld’s Largest Garage Sale, including suchproblematic items as firearms, knives, ani-mals and reptiles. A public hearing was setfor 6:45 p.m. June 8 to discuss the issue.
Trash disposal issues discussedA resolution was passed authorizing the
town of Warrensburg to collaborate withWarren County and other local municipali-ties in soliciting bids trash disposal bids.
Supervisor Geraghty raised the proposalof having a contractor run the Town landfilloperations.Several other municipalitieshave done so and saved money, he said, not-ing that the town loses between $25,000 and$40,000 annually on the operation. Hepledged to look into the concept and reportback to the board.
Geraghty noted that the lease agreementbetween the town of Warrensburg and War-rensburg Central School for the use of thetown recreation fields will expire on Aug. 17.A joint Town Board-School Board meetingwill be held to discuss the lease, he said.
Discussion was aired on a resolution urg-ing the state to follow through with its de-layed purchase of the Berry Pond Tract fromthe Lake George Land Conservancy. Most ofthe town board members indicated that in
light of the financial condition of the state,the town should not support the purchase atthis time, and the issue was tabled.
Geraghty announced a reminder to all lo-cal veterans to sign up for a discount iden-tification card at the County Clerk’s officefor discount purchases at area businesses.This discount card is free of charge.
The board approved a request to fundWarren County Youth Court in the amountof $1,000 to help the program continue. Ger-aghty noted that Warrensburg uses theYouth Court participants for many commu-nity events and the program does hold courtin town.
Projects under way to boost town Geraghty announced that the town has
been awarded a $5,000 grant from theAdirondack Rural Health Network for theupgrade and paving of the town tenniscourts. He also announced that DennisonBeers has completed an Eagle Scout Projectof mapping all the fire hydrants in the town.
It was noted the town and local schoolswill be working in a joint effort to mark thehiking trails on Hackensack Mountain, andthose involved will be meeting at 3 p.m. May31 to discuss plans. All are invited to attendand participate.

Letters to the EditorPublic transportation in Lake George works well
To the Adirondack Journal:The area daily newspaper recently
published an article about the tragicaccident last summer when two sea-sonal workers were struck by a car, andthe article suggested that the crashmight not have occurred if there wasmore public transportation available.As someone who have been involvedfor many years with the local tourismindustry, I would like to say that pub-lic transportation in and around LakeGeorge not only exists, but it worksvery well, especially during the sum-mer.
Most people have at least seen — andmany have ridden — the red trolleysoperated by Greater Glens Falls Transitthat run along Rte. 9 and Rte 9N be-tween Bolton Landing, Lake Georgeand Glens Falls.
Last summer, these trolleys carriedmore than 100,000 riders, and this in-cludes significant numbers of the for-eign workers that so many summerbusinesses have come to depend on.The trolleys generally run every half-hour or less and provide a very ade-quate level of public transportationservice to our community.
Unfortunately, tragedies like the ac-cident last summer sometimes happen,
and there isn’t always a way to guaran-tee that it could never happen again.The girls were walking the short one-half mile between their jobs and wherethey were living when they were struckby an intoxicated driver. A one-halfmile commute is not a trip distance thatpublic transit is designed to address.Rather, sidewalks similar to those infront of the nearby outlets would seemto be the answer, although perhaps notpractical in the accident’s location.
Our seasonal trolley system is one ofour area’s greatest assets and is highlysuccessful. To the daily newspaper, Isay, let’s not try to create additionalproblems where none exist.

Make a difference with kidsTo the Adirondack Journal:With heartfelt appreciation I thank
the voters who took time out of theirbusy schedules to support my re-elec-tion to the Warrensburg Central SchoolBoard. It will be an honor and a pleas-ure to represent you as we forge aheadinto uncertain waters.
It is a difficult time and the projec-tions are not good. We will probablyneed to make some very hard choicesin order to keep our doors open and tomaintain the quality program that our
children need and deserve.It takes a whole community to raise
a child, and I would like to ask thateach and every individual help me ful-fill that obligation. Everyone can makea difference in a child's life.
It doesn't matter your profession,your educational level or your eco-nomic status. Everyone has some skillsthat a child needs to learn. Unfortu-nately everyone is so busy today thatchildren come to school without eventhe basic skills.
If someone would take the time tohelp a child learn to read, tell time,count change or any other life skillthat you take for granted, it would goa long way to bolster that child's self-esteem and put them one step furtherahead towards a fulfilling life.
The school can't do it all and parentsneed to do their part too. Read to them,teach them to count and to tie theirshoes. Teach them to fish and plant agarden. Take them to work one day sothey can shadow you. And listen. Lit-tle ones need someone to listen to themand to know that someone cares.
I challenge everyone to make a dif-ference this year in one child's life.Help me make a difference. That childwill remember it forever.

Adirondack Journal Editorial
This just seems plain wrong to me!From a very young age, we’vebeen taught to respect authority.
This land of the free we all treasure sodearly was built on the concept of a judi-cial system that provided equality and fair-ness and was blind to therich and powerful and gov-ernmental overreach. It’s asimple concept that isknown and understoodworldwide.
Then why is Sandy Lewisbeing treated so unfairly? Af-ter proving in court andthrough appeal that theLewis Family Farm in Essexwas well within its right toconstruct housing for itsworkers, New York State nowseeks to have the final chap-ter of this case removed fromthe record, as though it never took place.
Never took place? That’s right, the statewants to pretend this case never happened.They want no record of their failure of driv-ing the costs much higher than was neededand then removal all record of it’s reim-bursement of those legal costs to the LewisFamily Farm.
It’s clear that the Adirondack Park Agencydoesn’t have an appetite for being told it waswrong. This outrageous move would be likethe New England Patriots a few years back,after posting an undefeated season headinginto the Super Bowl, and then after losing to
the New York Giants in that final game, de-claring the game never took place and re-maining undefeated.
The arrogance of this move goes far be-yond any definition of fairness or justice. Ina nutshell, the state has now been told by the
courts that they must reim-burse the Lewis Family Farmfor at least a portion of the le-gal expenses incurred defend-ing themselves against the ac-tions brought by the APA. Ah,but wait. The state wants onemore chance to tip the scales ofjustice. Before any reimburse-ment is awarded, the record onmaking this payment mustdisappear. No removal, nocheck.
Is this fair or right? How dowe teach those in our society toown up to their mistakes and
learn from them if we allow our governmentagencies to run rough shot over its citizensand get away with it? Let’s face it, we paidfor the government’s action through our tax-es. They have nothing personally to lose.What’s the down side for them when some-one has the nerve to challenge one of theirrulings? They have the power and financesto bury a private citizen and, by attemptingto remove or hide any portion of the publicrecord, it send a very clear message … Don’tmess with us!

For many World War II veter-ans, visiting the NationalWorld War II Memorial in
Washington, D.C. is high on theirbucket list. And thanks to an organi-zation called Patriot Flight, Inc. —based in New York’s capital region —some northern New York veteranshave been able to cross this trip offtheir list.
Opening in 2004, the memorial hon-ors the 16 million U.S. men and womenwho served in the military, and theroughly 400,000 Americans who died,during World War II. It is located be-tween Constitution and IndependenceAvenues, and that’s a great tidbit toknow, for those who have the time andmoney to travel to our nation’s capital,but many aging World War II vets areon fixed incomes and can’t afford thetrip. And a lot of them have limitedmobility, in wheelchairs, and have spe-cial health care needs, such as oxygen,that make the trip difficult.
Enter Patriot Flight. This volunteergroup flies World War II veterans fromupstate New York to see the NationalWorld War II Memorial in Washington,D.C. for free.
Inspired by a program in Springfield,Ohio — Honor Flight Network, Inc. —Patriot Flight began transporting vetsto the nation’s capital in 2008, joiningmore than 100 other groups through-out the U.S. affiliated with the HonorFlight Network, which was founded in2005. In New York, there are similargroups in Long Island, Rochester andBuffalo. Plus, there is another group —Leatherstocking Honor Flight — thatflies out of Albany.
One local veteran — Kenneth Coon-rod, of Willsboro — made the trip April23. Coonrod enlisted in the U.S. Navyin December 1944 and served in the Pa-cific Theater, in places like Guam andOkinawa, until 1946.
“It was far above what I ever expect-ed it to be,” Coonrod said of the memo-rial and the Patriot Flight trip.
No Patriot Flight trips are currentlyscheduled. As funding becomes avail-
able through donations, they schedulemore tours.
When there is a trip, it only takes oneday. The 15-hour tour starts at 6 a.m. inLatham. Vets fly a Southwest planefrom Albany International Airport toBaltimore, where they hop on a bus andride to Washington, D.C. for the day.After dinner, they re-trace their stepsand make it back to Albany by 9 p.m.
Special needs, such as wheelchairs,can be met. About 30 percent of the vet-erans who have taken trips so far haverequired wheelchairs, and the deluxemotorcoaches are equipped withwheelchair lifts. World War II veteranswho are terminally ill are given specialpriority. Those who require oxygenmust make arrangements ahead oftime, as oxygen tanks are not allowedon flights.
Patriot Flight is an important organ-ization at an important time, and it isone with a limited life span, given thecurrent mission of providing “our re-maining World War II veterans thechance to personally view the memori-al that was built to recognize their sac-rifice to our nation.”
We ask people to consider donatingto Patriot Flight but not to wait toolong. At an average age of 85, morethan 1,200 World War II veterans aredying every day. Patriot Flight calls itsmission “urgent,” and our time to saythank-you is quickly running out.
For some veterans, the NationalWorld War II Memorial is the last thingthey’d like to see before they die.Please, help make their dreams cometrue.
For applications, donation forms andmore information, call Patriot Flight at(518) 459-2857 ext. 331 or visit online atpatriotflightinc.com. Learn more aboutHonor Flight at honorflight.org.

APA trying to tip the scales of justice
Alexanderfrom page 6
When a child continues tosteal and the only punish-ment is to give the item backto its rightful owner, if theowner can prove it wastheirs to begin with, whatlesson is learned? So long asyou can get away with it,why not take everything youwant anytime you want?The lesson learned is simple.Keep doing it until someoneputs a stop to it and there isa level of punishment com-mensurate with the act.
Government must be heldto the highest standard pos-sible given its unlimited re-sources and when provenwrong, repeatedly, shouldface some sort of restrictions
or censorship. They have noskin in the contest, and withnothing to lose, it onlyserves to empower them allthe more. Gov. Andrew Cuo-mo says he wants to improveethics at the state govern-ment level. This is the per-fect time for the Governor tosend a clear message thatthose of us living in theAdirondack Park haverights, too!
As citizens, we all owe agreat deal of gratitude toSandy and Barbara Lewis forstanding up to the APA andthe State of New York. Veryfew among us would have orcould have taken the actionsthey did, and that’s what’sat the root of this issue. TheAPA knows they can havetheir way, interpret the rulesany way they see fit, and the
average citizen has littlechoice but to cave in to theirdemands or risk losingeverything.
It’s time for the APA andthe state to admit they werewrong and let effects of theiractions remain on the recordfor all to know that they arenot invincible. They mustlearn to deal with the aver-age citizen in a fair, equi-table way and not as the bigbully they have proven to betime and time again.

•100 Years Ago – May 1911•Grand new highway in the works
With gratifying promptness, the stateHighway Commission has begun the greatwork of building the grand trunk line of thestate roads from New York City to the Cana-da line provided for in the Emerson-Trombly bill which recently became law. Thework is to be started in Warren County bythe construction of 13 miles of road betweenWarrensburgh and Chestertown. The roadwill extend from the big rock in the lowerpart of Warrensburgh to the end of theChester-Riverside state road in the front ofthe Rising House on Main Street, Chester-town. Next to follow is work to begin on thefour-and-a-half mile road from Lake Georgeto Warrensburgh, then five miles from Wev-ertown to North Creek. The highway will be28 feet wide for the entire distance.
It is estimated the construction of the roadwill cost $160,000 or about $13,000 a mile,which is about $5,000 a mile greater than thecost of the average state road. The addition-al expense will be caused by the unusualamount of heavy blasting necessary in vari-ous places.
At the Devil’s Kitchen on Spruce Moun-tain, the roadway will be cut from solid rockand the road will be changed somewhat inorder to cut away many dangerous curvesthat now exist. This means that in a shortwhile one of the finest roads in the countrywill connect New York City with Montreal.
The people of Warren County cannot butfeel grateful to Senator James A. Emerson ofWarrensburgh for the good work he hasdone in their behalf.
(Note: The “big rock” mentioned in thelower part of Warrensburgh was an impres-sive huge historic landmark called “HighRock” for which the town was originallynamed near the end of the 1700s. It was blast-ed to smithereens May 21, 1931 to widen the
highway. The late Dave Culver once told methat the whole town shook and small piecesof rock showered the roofs of houses in thearea near the present-day Judd Bridge.“Devil’s Kitchen,” was the stretch of Rte. 9highway south of Chestertown where highsolid rock walls have felt the impact of theautomobiles of many Saturday-night beerdrinkers over the years.)
Cannonball found under bridgeOtto Quist of Glens Falls and Royal Smith
of South Glens Falls were hunting for stonesSaturday under the Glens Falls bridge overthe Hudson River and found a cannonballthat is doubtless a relic of early wars.
The men were looking for round stones fora building project at the new Finch andPruyn office and had a long pole with nailsat such an angle that they would fasten overthe stone and hold it. The cannonball, whichis 3 inches in diameter and weighs nearly 9pounds, was found in the bowl-like holecommonly called the “Devil’s Punch Bowl.”The relic was badly rusted but grooves hadbeen worn by its constant rubbing againstthe rocks in the bottom of the hole.
In other Glens Falls news, while returninghome on a Hudson Valley trolley car at 11p.m. May 30, 1911 from Glen Lake, PaulEnches, of 112 South St., received a bad cuton his right foot when a trolley wheel fellfrom the pole and crashed through the roofof the car. The wheel, a heavy copper one,fell with full force on the toes and instep ofhis foot, crushing and lacerating them. Hewas removed to Glens Falls Hospital.
Saving Lake George fishAssemblyman Brereton is working to
broaden the new law against trolling frommotor boats on Lake George waters for fishto include legislation for the measure of lim-iting the total catch from any one boat in anyone day to 25 or 30 pounds of fish. Peoplealong the shore of the lake support his cause
but petitions in Ticonderoga are being gath-ered to oppose this measure.
Regional news briefsA moving picture company is arranging to
reproduce the attack of Ethan Allen and hisGreen Mountain boys at Fort Ticonderoga.The picture will be made on the original oldfort grounds and 150 men garbed in the dressof soldiers of that day, with horses and oth-er auxiliaries to be engaged in the scenes.(Note: What a historic treasure that 100-year-old movie must be. Does it still exist?)
A large load of school girls from SouthGlens Falls came over the mountain on Sat-urday, May 20, 1911 in a carry-us-all andspent the day on Lake Luzerne. You can justbet they had a good time and they droveback in the cool of the evening, their sweetyoung voices echoing through the woods inlaughter and song.
Through a thorough census, 128 widowshave been found in the village of Granville.This is the result principally of numerous fa-tal accidents in the slate quarries which con-stitute the town’s chief industry.
John Nichols of Albany committed suicidein Whitehall May 19, 1911 by hanging him-self in a shed in the rear of the Hall house.The deceased was a native of Whitehall, hav-ing left there when he was a boy. He was en-gaged in the grocery business in Albany andfor many years he was a D.& H. conductor.He was well advanced in years.
Wayward husband on the lamPercy Whitby, a well-known former resi-
dent of Warrensburgh, later of Glens Fallsfrom then Albany, has made yet anothermove and his place of residence is now un-known. Attorney Louis F. O’Neil of Albanyis looking for him and will be much obligat-ed to anyone who can supply Whitby’s pres-ent post office address. Sheriff Platt was un-able to find the man.
Attorney O’Neil wishes to serve on Percy
a notice of an action for divorce instituted byhis client, Mrs. Whitby. Justice William P.Rudd authorized publication of the sum-mons and complaint in the newspapers.
Mr. and Mrs. Whitby were married forabout 12 years and have a young daughter,Clara Whitby. The deserted wife alleged thather husband met temptations in Albanywhich caused him to stray from the path ofmarital duty and when she became con-vinced of his wrongdoing, she left him abouttwo years ago and returned to the home ofher mother in Glens Falls.
News roundaboutThe mercury registered 92 degrees May 20
and 90 degrees on May 21 and 22, 1911, whenit was 102 degrees in Chestertown. We had afine rain here the next day. It was badlyneeded and greatly appreciated.
The daily mail from Garnet to Johnsburghwill begin June 1, 1911. At Brookdale Farmat Garnet Lake, J.J. Armstrong has six weekold Poland pigs for sale for $4 each. InChestertown, Lou Young bought a blackmare from Albert Thierot. In Wevertown theMulholland poultry farm is having a largehennery building constructed. In ThurmanDavid Frost has 80 young chicks hatched inthe old fashioned way and has built a newand larger hen park.
Lewis Thomson of Warrensburgh needs 30men at once to peel pulpwood. In Adiron-dack, L.M. Carpenter and Julius MacKinstryhave several men engaged in peeling logs onHollis Johnson’s place. Harvey Bolster hasbeen suffering from stomach trouble. Mrs.Edward Ordway of West Stony Creek has in-flamed rheumatism in her arms. GeorgeCodner, proprietor of the Lake House, hasblood poisoning in his head and arm.
Thought for the day: A woman wouldrather be regarded as young as she looksthan to have it said that she looks young forher age.

Guest CommentaryNatural resource should be protected
In the April 26 Post-Star editorial titled “Buying UpLand is not the Answer,” the editors asserted that thestate’s purchase of conservation land may not be the
best use of taxpayer ’s money. The editorial further statedthat if land must be protected, only portions should be pro-tected for trails and the remainder would be protected from“pollution” by zoning and subdivision regulations.
Lake George Land Conservancy’s (LGLC) response is thatour nonprofit mission is to protect the exemplary natural re-sources of Lake George. Since 1988 this small, local land trusthas protected over 12,500 acres and nearly nine miles ofshoreline.
Our seven showcase preserves are available free to thepublic. Generous LGLC members who love Lake Georgegave their financial support for these acquisitions.
We have worked closely with towns, individuals and com-munity leaders to protect land and provide public amenities.Currently we are working with Bolton on a vision for a town-wide Hamlet to Cat Mountain Trail. On June 12, we are ded-icating Peggy’s Point, a lovely shoreline park in Haguewhich we are embellishing with a Friendship Garden for allto enjoy and participate.
Within another year, we hope to announce the creation ofthe first managed wildlife refuge on the Lake George in thetown of Putnam. We are proud that so many visitors and res-idents, many of whom do not own shoreline properties, mayenjoy Lake George by visiting our land. And, few, if any, tax-payer dollars have been spent on those properties.
Occasionally, we have the opportunity to assist the stateby purchasing land listed in the state’s Open Space Conser-vation Plan which was developed with broad public input
including local community leaders. The Berry Pond tract is one of only two properties specif-
ically listed in that plan. Three tributaries of West Brook runthrough the property. To protect this portion of the water-shed for West Brook, LGLC purchased the land under theWest Brook Conservation Initiative, an innovative and largestormwater mitigation project which has been heralded asone of the most significant environmental initiatives everbuilt on the Lake.
We were fortunate that the Open Space Institute was will-ing to give us a loan for this acquisition. But while raisingmoney to meet those payments, we must delay and possiblylose other important land projects.
Our Berry Pond tract also contains an essential snowmo-bile link to the Adirondacks which has been given credit inbringing more business to Lake George this winter. Our re-quest to sell this land to the state has received broad supportfrom the community leaders and organizations.
Another very popular LGLC recreational resource, knownas Cat and Thomas Mountains, is nearly all of the watershedlands for the drinking water supply pond for the Town ofBolton and should be protected forever as NYS Forest Pre-serve.
LGLC would like to sell these two properties to the statewithin the next 12 months. I believe it is important to pointout that our last sale to DEC was in 2004. We thank DEC forother lands they have protected in the Lake George water-shed, including the Finch, Pruyn and International Paperparcels. The state’s greatly reduced land acquisition budg-ets of the past few years has placed greater stress on theirland trust partners holding tracts of interest to DEC.
The Post-Star editors wondered why not just purchase
recreational easements on a portion of a property rather thanpurchase entire tracts. Sometimes this is an excellent idea.We are very sensitive to the importance of land to a commu-nity’s fiscal health.
We will limit our purchases to only lands important fornatural resource protection and/or recreational needs.Sometimes this may mean that we will subdivide a tract forpartial acquisition or we may sell off a portion of an acqui-sition. We are now working on a project that meets this cri-terion.
The editorial appeared to state that restrictive Adirondackzoning is enough to protect land and water. It is not LGLC’sposition to stop development on those parcels where devel-opment is best suited. We do not take a position on regula-tions, but we do believe that some parcels deserve to be pro-tected in their entirety. Examples include: Cat and ThomasMountains for their importance to watershed protection; his-toric monoliths such as Anthony’s Nose; land rich in wildlifehabitat such as Gull Bay Heron Rookery and The Last GreatShoreline; and unique recreational assets such as “JumpingRock.”
The Post Star editorial calls out to stop “large scale stateland purchases.” I believe I have shown that, in fact, LGLCand the state have been very selective in the lands that wehave purchased at Lake George. We are grateful for all whowork with us to protect lands important to the communities,residents, visitors and wildlife.

The revised budget, after being reformu-lated by the school administration, will bepresented to the public at 7 p.m. June 7, Su-perintendent of Schools Patrick Dee said,noting that a public vote on the revisedbudget is likely to be held June 21.
Members of the audience repeatedlyasked the board to lobby teachers to forgocontracted raises or their annual “step”pay increase, or increase their contributionto health care costs upward from 8 percent.
Such cuts would represent $500,000 ormore savings to taxpayers, they said, citingthat pay raises and benefits in the privatesector weren’t as generous, particularlyconsidering the state of the economy.
Board member Steven Jackowski was theonly person on the panel to express sup-port for exploring such cuts. He suggestednot only scrutinizing health care costs, butasking school district retirees to considerchanges to their perpetual health care cov-erage.
Local resident Philip Ostrom askedabout the annual “step” pay increases forteachers, which he said represented a$2,700 raise each year on top of contractedraises.
Board member Virginia Etu replied therewas little the board could do about them,as such raises were negotiated in the 1980s.
Audience members asked the board atboth meetings why the budget continues togo up, and the ratio of teachers to studentscontinues to rise, while enrollment in theschools has recently been declining about
10 percent, and is projected to drop further.Board members cited personnel pay in-
creases, as well as state mandates, as re-sponsible for the increases.
The defeated budget called for a spend-ing increase of $526,000 or 2.63 percentover 2010-11, which would have increasedthe tax levy by 3.98 percent. Reducing thebudget by $192,000 would cut the tax levyincrease to less than 1 percent, school offi-cials said.
At the May 23 public meeting, Dee citedthat the administration had already cut —in the initial budget proposal — a varietyof planned expenses, including BOCESservices, new carpeting, library and teach-ers supplies, and replacement of gymbleachers. This rejected spending plan cuta guidance counselor, two teaching assis-tants, and a bus purchase. This planscrapped a bus purchase, and had shrunkthe Jumpstart program to accommodateonly Kindergartners.
He noted that a contingency budgetwould prohibit the district from allowingcommunity groups to use the school build-ings or grounds for activities, if doing sowould bear any district expense. He saidsuch a state-mandated cap — imposed ifthe budget is rejected again — would hurtscouting programs, Lake George Youthe-atre, AAU basketball, and the Lake GeorgeCommunity Band. The contingency budg-et would also cut spending on extracurric-ular activities and some programs, he said.Such mandates, he and board memberssaid, led them to decide to re-submit atrimmed budget rather than adopt a con-tingency budget.
While an initial vote by the board onTuesday, May 24 called for cutting thebudget by $192,000 and re-submitting it fora public vote, the board rescinded the res-olution and re-voted to not specify thesum, after several audience members ob-jected, calling for cuts deeper than$192,000.

Community Briefs
A poorly maintained auto-mobile can eventually landits owner stranded on theside of the road. A poorlymaintained boat could provefar more disastrous, strand-ing its owner at sea.
Boating enthusiasts recog-nize the role routine mainte-nance plays in keeping aboat afloat. Such mainte-nance might sound like amajor commitment, butmaintenance is actually sim-ple and does not requireboat owners to spend asmuch time working on theirboat as they do enjoying it.
Before taking a boat out onthe water, it’s best for boatowners to perform the fol-lowing maintenance andcheckup to ensure their Sat-urday at sea doesn't turninto a nightmare stranded inthe middle of nowhere.
Hoses, Fittings, TanksInspect the hoses, fittings
and tanks before headingout to sea. This won’t takelong but will be advanta-geous. Leaky hoses, fittingsand tanks could cause theboat to end up stranded oreven damage the motor. Inaddition, an oil or fuel leakcould create a fire hazard orincrease risk of explosion.Checking the hoses, fittingsand tanks for leaks takes justa few minutes and greatlyreduces risk of being strand-ed or worse.

whenever heading out onthe water. Even if the trip issupposed to be just a quickjaunt, it’s still important totop off the fuel tank. Doingso and then checking fuellevels upon return can also
help boat owners determineif there are any fuel con-sumption issues, which areoften indicative of an enginethat's not performing at itspeak.
BatteryThe battery connections
should always be tight andclean before heading out onthe water. A loose or dirtyconnection will make it dif-ficult for the battery tocharge, which can leaveboaters stranded at sea. Ifthe engine is operated athigh speeds for a long peri-od of time, check the elec-
trolyte levels for any signs ofan overcharged battery.
Boat maintenance is animportant but not necessari-ly difficult part of boat own-ership. Boat owners who en-sure their boats are properlymaintained can greatly re-duce their risk of beingstranded at sea while in-
creasing their chances ofhaving a great time out onthe water.
PropellerThe propeller should
show no signs of damage. Adamaged propeller cancause a host of problems, in-cluding stranding boaterson the water. Even if a dam-aged propeller doesn’tstrand a boat in the middleof the sea, it will likely taxthe engine, which will de-crease fuel efficiency.
OilIt's also good to top off oil
before heading out on thewater and then checking oillevels upon one’s return.Boats with 4-stroke motorsconsume very smallamounts of oil, so if such
boats are consuming largeamounts of oil during eachtrip there’s likely somethingwrong with the engine. Aboat with a 2-stroke motorshould maintain the sameproportion between fuel andoil consumption. If the pro-portion starts changing dra-matically, that's problemat-ic.
Hull, Engine CasesThe boat hull and engine
cases should be inspectedfor damage or signs of corro-sion before heading out onthe water. It’s also a goodidea to inspect the hull andengine when returning tothe dock. This will saveboaters the trouble of dis-covering problems on thenext trip, which may putthat trip in jeopardy.

Navigating a boat is much like driving acar. Safety lessons and courses can make thecaptain of the vessel a better sailor.
Handling a boat properly and safely issomething that comes with practice. Safetycourses can make boating more enjoyablefor all involved.
Many organizations offer boating courses.Private companies, state agencies and theU.S. Coast Guard may have a safety coursea boater can join. These courses will cover avariety of aspects on general boating andsafety procedures. They often involve hoursof classroom instruction. There may be a testat the end of the course and a certificate ofcompletion issued. Some courses may begiven right on a boat, offering first-hand ex-perience. Browsing the course descriptioncan yield information as to which type ofcourse is being offered.
An advantage to taking a boating safetycourse is that some insurance companies,much like they do with drivers who com-plete defensive driving courses, will offer adiscount to boaters who successfully com-plete a recognized course in boating safety.
One of the main advantages to completinga boating safety course is that it can help aperson save lives. Research indicates that inFlorida alone 85 percent of boating fatalitiesinvolve boaters who have not taken a boat-ing safety course. Some states now mandateindividuals complete a safety course beforethey are allowed to operate a water vessel.
Boating safety courses will cover a host oftopics, including basis boat operation.
Other topics include:* seamanship* navigation* general safety* personal flotation devices* first aid and emergency protocol* rules of the open water* water survival techniques* weather safety* responsible boatingIt’s important to find a reputable class for
boating safety. One backed by the USCG canoffer the up-to-date information boatersmay need. Visit the USCG online atwww.uscg.mil to find a listing of recom-mended courses.
Setting an anchor is more than droppingthe anchor and hoping for the best. There aretips that translate to good seamanship thatalso prevent risk of dragging an anchor orlosing a boat in the current.
The first step to properly anchoring a boatis ensuring the right equipment is in place.Choosing an anchor requires a little fore-thought. Different types of anchors shouldbe prepared for all the situations a boatermay encounter. The anchor size and weightwill be influenced by different conditions:
* the type of boat* size of the vessel* bottom surface where you intend to an-
chor
* wind and wave conditions* available anchor equipment on the boatGenerally, the larger the anchor the more
powerful the staying ability, especially ifone has to ride out a storm at anchor. If a ves-sel can only accommodate one anchor, it’sbest to choose the largest one that will fit inan anchor locker or can be stored safely outof the way.
To help increase holding power of the an-chor, leave several feet of chain or warp be-tween the anchor and the anchor line. Ex-perts recommend it be at least the length ofthe boat.
One of the common mistakes new skip-pers make is putting out too little scopewhen anchoring. Scope is the amount of an-chor line put out when the boat is safely an-chored.
When lowering the anchor, consider thedirection of the wind, other vessels in thevicinity and the waves. Practice makes per-fect in different types of conditions. It is im-portant to lay out the anchor chain by pay-ing it out hand over hand so that it will even-tually be laying out straight, as opposed tobeing in a big pile. Once the anchor hasreached the seabed, a little reverse motioncan help it hold and dig in. If the anchor hastaken hold correctly, the vessel will come toan abrupt halt.
Even after an anchor has set, wave surgecan cause the warp to flex like a yo-yo andsway the boat. An anchor weight added tothe anchor tackle can help prevent drag, es-pecially if the vessel will be unattended orleft at anchor during rough weather.
Boating safety courses have benefits Learn to anchor a boat properly
Around the mid 1960s,fiberglass boats started tobecome popular amongrecreational boaters, and thedemand for fiberglass boatsremains strong today. Thereasons for their popularityare many, but it’s importantfor prospective boat buyersand even prospective boatbuilders to understand boththe advantages and disad-vantages to fiberglass boats.
AdvantagesPerhaps the most contest-
ed point when comparingfiberglass boats to their alu-minum or wooden counter-parts concerns maintenance.Some insist fiberglass boatsare easier to maintain, whileothers feel fiberglass boatsare a much bigger chore tomaintain. One thing is cer-tain, and that is boatersdon’t need to continually in-spect their fiberglass boatsfor rotting wood.
Many boaters also findfiberglass boats are sturdier
because they don’t dent liketheir aluminum counter-parts. Denting can destabi-lize the boat, so some feelfiberglass, because theydon’t dent, are both sturdierand safer.
Some boaters also feelfiberglass boats slide moreeasily over rocks, which canmake for a steadier ride.
Another advantage tofiberglass boats is they don’tcorrode in water, nor arethey susceptible to electroly-sis.
Boaters who constructtheir own boats can do so inmuch less time if they usefiberglass than aluminum.Doing so requires training,but going forward it shouldtake significantly less timeand prove less frustrating toconstruct a fiberglass boat.
DisadvantagesMany boaters find fiber-
glass boats’ weight to be asignificant disadvantage.Fiberglass boats are typical-
ly much heavier than alu-minum boats, which canmake it more taxing to towthem. And because alu-minum boats don’t weigh asmuch, some find it easier tohandle an aluminum boat.Still, some boaters prefer theheavier fiberglass boat, feel-ing they’re more effective atgetting through the chop be-cause they weigh more.
Though some feel fiber-glass boat maintenance is asnap, it can cost consider-ably more if a problem doesarise. Aluminum boats aregenerally much more afford-able to repair.
Fiberglass boats also don’tretain as much resale valueas the typical aluminumboat. That’s because manyboaters feel fiberglass boats,though not as prone to dingsand dents or wood rot, aremuch more easily damaged,which can hurt their resalevalue.
When deciding on a boat,it does come down to per-sonal preference. Each typeof boat, be it timber, alu-minum or fiberglass, has itspros and cons. Consumersshould consider the pros andcons of each before making afinal decision.
Most boat owners desire to maintain that fresh-from-the-showroom look on their boat, even if the vessel isseveral years old. Detailing a boat on a regular basis isa way to ensure it is not compromised by the elementsand continues to look pristine.
Detailing a boat is similar to detailing a car. It gener-ally begins with giving the boat a good washing. It’s im-portant to choose a cleanser that is designed for the boat.Wood boats may need a different soap than fiberglassboats. There also are boat soaps that are organic and willnot pollute the waterways where the boat is docked.Surface grime should be washed off and any scaling onthe hull from contact with salt water and marine life.Use soft cloths on the delicate areas. Brushes can be usedon troublesome spots that need a little more elbowgrease.
Immediately dry the boat afterward with a chamois.This will prevent the surface from streaking and ensurea dry surface on which to apply wax or buffing com-pounds.
Unless it is a small boat, wax or buffers should be ap-plied with a commercial buffer. This will prevent armand hand fatigue and make faster work of the job. Waxshould be applied in circular movements, allowed to dryand then wiped off with a cheesecloth or another cham-ois. It’s best to do small areas of the boat to ensure theproper wax curing time has taken place and it can bewiped clean in a timely fashion. One must judge the airtemperature and the sun to determine just how long thewax should remain on.
Next use a cloth to wipe down all upholstery. If de-sired, use an upholstery cleaner on leather to give it anice shine. There are also metal cleaners that can polishchrome and other detailing on the boat.
Use a dusting cloth to go over the instrument paneland be sure to wipe down any glass windows so theyare streak-free.
Afterward, step back and enjoy all of the hard work.Proper maintenance and cleaning ensures that the ves-sel will continue to look good and perform for manyyears to come.

Just when you thought the weather warmed enoughto start enjoying the great outdoors, something sinis-ter takes all of the fun from being outside ... mosqui-toes!
Many people find the cold weather isn't a walk inthe park, but at least it keeps bugs at bay. Once theweather warms, those biting flies, no-see-ums andother pests start hatching and wreaking havoc. One ofthe more prolific pains in the neck, arms, legs — wher-ever else they can bite you — are mosquitoes.
Some of the best ways to prevent attacks is by limit-ing the number of mosquitoes around — which meanseliminating breeding grounds. Mosquitoes like stand-ing water in which to lay their eggs. These are goodplaces to start.
* Find standing water. Eliminate all sources ofstanding water. This can include flower pots, chil-dren’s toys, unused tires, pool floats — anywhere thathas a depression that can collect water. Even unevenareas of the lawn can provide a cozy spot for water tocongregate.
* Clean gutters. Water trapped in gutters due todebris is a prime spot for mosquitoes to land and layeggs.
* Move pond water. A water pump that produces afountain effect or simply circulates water around in apond prevents standing water from occurring.
* Treat mosquito haunts. Carports and other shad-ed overhangs are prime roosts for mosquitoes. A bugzapper or other repellent in that area can eradicate afew of them.
* Investigate BTI. BTI or, bacillus thuringensis, is anatural organism that can be put into places wheremosquitoes normally breed. The larvae consume theBTI, and it kills them before they can turn into full-grown mosquitoes. BTI, sometimes called “MosquitoDunks,” is sold most commonly in doughnut-shaped
briquettes that can be placed around the landscape.They're nontoxic and safe for wildlife, but not recom-mended in water used for human consumption.
* Explore mosquito predators. While it’s not wise tooverrun a property with mosquito predators that mayget out of control, a few well-placed foes of the blood-suckers may do the trick. Here are some insects andsmall animals that feast on mosquitoes:
- water fowl and other birds- dragonflies- mosquitofish (dine on larvae)- guppies- batsAttract these predators to the yard, and there may
be an all-natural mosquito control available.

echoed the point, as shetalked about Courtney’sfriendly, fun character.
“To all young people whofeel suicide is the only wayout — It’s not!” Thackrah-Harris said. “By ending yourpain, you’ll create more painin more people than youcould ever imagine. Seekhelp!”
Irv West of Thurman, whoorganized the event, calledfor people to advocate forchanges in society that breakdown walls between people,and instead build profound,life-enriching bonds withone another.
Amy Molloy, area directorof the American Foundationfor Suicide Prevention, toldthe crowd about how suicideis a leading cause of deathamong teens and youngadults.
“There is hope, help, re-covery and healing,” shesaid, adding that people canreach out to others to pre-vent such grievous losses oflife.
“We must be compassion-
ate, we must be good listen-ers, we must be willing toask for and receive help, andwe must remember that weare not alone — I think thatis the message that Courtneywould want to share.”

No cats, no dogsThe Great North Woods continue to
become a little less wild, followinganother announcement from the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In March 2011, the agency removed fed-
eral protection for the eastern cougar, afterextensive reviews revealed no evidence ofan existing breeding population in theeastern United States.
Researchers believe the Eastern cougarsubspecies has been extinct since a trapperin Somerset County, Maine, killed the lastconfirmed eastern mountain lion in 1938.
More recently, on May 5, 2011, the Fishand Wildlife Service proposed a new ruleto eliminate federal protection for wolvesthroughout the central and eastern U.S.
According to the USFWS proposal, thespecial regulation for the Eastern DistinctPopulation Segment (DPS) was based onresearch indicating the gray wolf is nolonger considered a native species in thenortheast. The agency now recognizes theeastern wolf (Canis lycaon) as the onlywolf native to the northeast, and theagency will evaluate it “for possible pro-tection under the Act in the near future.”
The special regulation for the EasternDistinct Population Segment (DPS) appliesto wolves in Pennsylvania, New Jersey,New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island,Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire,and Maine.
The persecution of wolves by human isthe primary reason for the decline ofwolves across North America, Humans arethe largest single cause of wolf mortalityand the only cause that can significantlyaffect wolf populations at recovery levels.
Studies indicate that wolves require re-mote wild areas, with a wide range of preyanimals. In the northeast, whitetail deerhave historically filled this role. However,in a study conducted in Minnesota, re-
searchersdeterminedthat roaddensity alsoplays a sig-nificant rolein the abilityof wolves toestablish apresence.
The studydiscoveredthat wolvesrequire aroad densitythat doesnot exceed .9 miles of highway per squaremile of land, the current road density ofthe Adirondack Park. Road density is notan indicator of potential road kill, rather itis an indication of the ease at which hu-mans can access wolf habitat to harass,trap or shoot them.
Research indicates that wolves were pri-marily extirpated from the northeasternUnited States by 1900. However, therehave been a number of credible observa-tions of wolves reported in the Northeastthroughout the 20th century.
According to various reports, a single fe-male wolf was killed in western Maine in1993, and in 1996 a second wolf wastrapped and killed in central Maine.
Another wolf-like caned was mistakenfor a coyote and killed in 1997 in northernVermont, and in 2001, a coyote hunter shotand killed a male wolf (85 lb.) in Day, NY.
In early 2002, an apparent wolf (64 lb.)was killed by a trapper in southeasternQuebec, less than 20 miles from the NewHampshire border, and in October 2006, amale wolf (91lb.) was shot in southern
Quebec, near a location where a wolfpack had been established.
These incidents, along with similar ob-servations and physical evidence of large,unidentified ‘dogs’ in the northeast overrecent years, has led some to believe
wolves may actually be dispersing into thenortheastern United States from habitat insouthern Canada.
Many of these unidentified ‘dogs’ haveexhibited characteristics consistent with ananimal that ranges in size somewhere be-tween the eastern coyote and the graywolf.
Although it remains uncertain at thistime, increasingly the scientific evidencesuggests the historic wolf of the Northeastwas more closely related to the red wolfthan to the gray wolf.
According to reports, a recent Geograph-ic Information System analysis that evalu-ated the potential for wolf dispersal fromsouthern Quebec and Ontario into thenortheastern United States found that suf-ficient suitable wolf habitat is available inthe Adirondack Park region of New Yorkand in Maine and northern New Hamp-shire.
Although there remain a number of po-tential dispersal corridors connecting exist-ing wolf populations north of border withthe expansive wolf habitat in Maine, NewHampshire and New York, there are alsosignificant physical barriers to such a dis-persal, including the St. Lawrence River,several four lane highways, rail lines, anddense human developments that may pro-hibit the movement of a sufficient number
of wolves from Canada into Maine.A study on the feasibility of wolf reintro-
duction in the Adirondacks, conducted in1999, revealed the habitat was suitable forsustaining a small population of graywolves.
However, due to the park’s fragmentednature, and the lack of wild corridors link-ing occupied wolf areas to the north; it wasdetermined that wolves would not be ableto establish a viable, breeding populationwithout periodic human intervention. Thestudy concluded that ecological conditionsdictated against the successful reintroduc-tion of gray wolves.
Yet, stories and reports of wolves persistand continue to circulate. Despite evi-dence to the contrary, we want to believethem. We want to believe there are stillwolves and cougars out there; we want ourwoods to remain dangerous and mysteri-ous.
In some manner, this belief makes usbrave, strong and daring. If there are stillwild animals stalking the local woods, ourforest forays are no longer just a simplewalk in the park; they become an adven-ture. We all need the excitement.

Patriotic music with Peggy Lynn, interviews with local veteransBy Andy [email protected]
BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE — More than a dozen local vet-erans will be honored this Memorial Day weekend during aTribute to the Troops multimedia event in Indian Lake, LongLake and Tupper Lake.
The program, sponsored by the Adirondack Lakes Centerfor the Arts, will feature the screening of pre-recorded inter-views with U.S. servicemen and women and a concert bysinger-songwriter Peggy Lynn, accompanied by her hus-band, award-winning hammered dulcimer player Dan Dug-gan.
The Tribute to the Troops will be held throughout the Me-morial Day weekend: 7 p.m. Saturday, May 28 at the IndianLake Theater; 7 p.m. Sunday, May 29 at the Tupper Lake HighSchool; and 4 p.m. Monday, May 30 at the Long Lake TownHall.
“It’s an important salute to the troops in the area, doing itin an artistic way, having them tell their own stories,” saidErin Barton, managing director at the Arts Center.
The program is designed to pay tribute to veterans — menand women — who served in all branches of the U.S. mili-tary. In keeping with this theme, the official songs of allbranches will be performed, and veterans of those brancheswill be asked to stand up and be recognized.
Musical tributeMeanwhile, Peggy Lynn and Dan Duggan are arranging
and practicing their music. One original song — “Dear Dad” — was inspired by a sol-
dier ’s wife who wanted to send a musical Father ’s Day mes-sage from her three little boys to their father serving in Iraq.Once the song was complete, they all sang the song to Dadon Father ’s Day online — using the Skype video service. Thecouple now has four boys and a girl.
Pete Seeger ’s “Waist Deep in the Big Muddy” will be onthe playlist. The song, written in 1967, was made famous be-cause CBS initially refused to let Seeger perform it on theSmothers Brothers Comedy Hour, deeming it as anti-estab-lishment during the Vietnam War.
“I’m kind of a pacifist at heart, but I do believe in honor-ing our military, and I appreciate the sacrifices they make,”Lynn said.
Tribute to the Troops is personal for Lynn, whose late fa-ther, Charlie Hemans, served in the U.S. Army Air Corpsduring World War II. She also had three brothers serve in themilitary during the Vietnam War.
“I hope these songs evoke some emotion, some memories,”she said.
Lynn — co-author of the book “Breaking Trail: RemarkableWomen of the Adirondacks” — has written a special song forthis program, honoring the women who have served in allwars and conflicts in American history. It is a parody of “Bat-tle Hymn of the Republic” and titled “Women also Servedthe Nation.” Lynn works with Creative Healing Connec-tions, a group that holds Women Veterans Retreats, andhears firsthand stories about the sacrifices they have made.
“I know how much these women appreciate being recog-nized for their commitment,” Lynn said.
Lynn will also sing “Let Them In,” a song written andrecorded by Pennsylvania folksinger John Gorka. In aYouTube performance, Gorka said the song came to him as apoem from a friend whose mom was a nurse at a militaryhospital in the Phillipines during World War II. The poem’sauthor is unknown.
In the song, the singer asks St. Peter to let the dead sol-diers into Heaven and sings the refrain, “God knows howyoung they were, to have to die.”
The Tribute to the Troops programs are open to the pub-lic. The cost is $10 general admission and free to veterans.
Video tributeAlex Roalsvig, tourism director for the Town of Long Lake
Department of Parks and Recreation, conducted all 19 of thevideo interviews, 18 men and one woman. She visited thehomes of six veterans in Long Lake, videotaped three vets atthe American Legion Parker-Benton Post 1392 in IndianLake, and worked with Beth Johnson to speak with 10 veter-ans in Tupper Lake. These particular veterans served inWorld War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and Opera-tion Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.
For Roalsvig, this was a way to hear stories from the frontlines, stories she did not hear from her late father, whoserved in the military during the Cold War.
“I hope people will get a sense of sacrifice and commit-ment of our servicemen,” she said. “It’s a slice of history,particularly to the Adirondacks, of those who have seen theworld and come back to settle here.”
Conducting the interviews was an “eye opener” forRoalsvig, and she learned that serving in the military is ateam effort, one you can’t understand unless you serve,fighting side-by-side with others.
“It’s bigger than they are,” she said.Roalsvig will be cataloging more than 12 hours of video to
create a DVD of segments for the Tribute to the Troops pro-gram.

LAKE PLACID — Governor AndrewCuomo took his “People First Cam-paign” to the Olympic region Wednes-day, where he continued to rally sup-port for his legislative agenda.
Before the current session ends June20, Cuomo wants to enact meaningfulethics reform, cap property taxes, andpass marriage equality legislation.
Cuomo says he has the people on hisside – and what happens in the nextseveral weeks will reveal what sidelawmakers in Albany are on.
More than 200 people packed thebrand new Conference Center at LakePlacid to hear Cuomo lay out his agen-da and his goals for the current legisla-tive session.
Before Cuomo took to the podium,Saranac Lake Mayor Clyde Rabideautold onlookers that the North Countryhasn’t received this much attentionfrom Albany since another Cuomo wasin office decades ago.
“Here in the North Country, we’renot really used to getting a lot of atten-tion from Albany, much less than thegovernor himself,” he said. “Unless ofcourse we reflect upon the first Gover-nor [Mario] Cuomo – who visited theNorth Country many times and was atremendous partner and ally in oureconomic development.”
North Elba Supervisor Roby Politialso heaped praise upon Cuomo, not-ing that he has strong support amongtaxpayers, business owners, and elect-ed officials as he looks to capitalize onthe momentum he began building dur-ing the budget season.
“The politicians in Albany may notwant to do it, but we know, and thegovernor knows, that this agenda iswhat this state needs to get back on theright track,” he said.
And it was that apparent disconnectbetween lawmakers and the peoplethat underscored Cuomo’s presenta-tion. At every turn, Cuomo seemed todraw a line in the sand – with him andthe people of New York on one side, thestate Legislature on the other.
He did dole out some credit, notingthat lawmakers passed an on-timebudget earlier this spring – a budgetthat made substantive changes in Al-bany.
“This was a much different experi-ence than in the past,” Cuomo said.“The budget was honest; there were nogimmicks in it; it was balanced; and itwas on-time. Government actually per-formed.”
But that’s where the praise stopped.Turning to property taxes, Cuomo toldthe crowd that New York counties rankamong the top tier nationwide. On av-erage, property owners in the U.S. payabout $1,900 in taxes annually.
In New York, that number nearlydoubles to $3,700.
“The very simple truth is that NewYork has no economic future as the taxcapitol of the nation,” Cuomo said.“Businesses will leave, people willleave – we know that, because we’re ex-periencing it.”
Cuomo’s plan would cap propertytax growth for school districts and lo-cal governments at 2 percent or the rateof inflation, whichever is less. And hisplan leaves little wiggle room for gov-ernments who have no other choice –for school boards, it would take a 60percent vote to pass a budget raisingtaxes more than the governor ’s cap. Forlocal governments, it would require atwo-thirds vote by lawmakers.
This proposal has been a hit with tax-payers, but not everyone is sold.
“Everybody wants a property taxcap, but nobody wants the services cutthat are provided to them,” said RandyDouglas, who chairs the Essex CountyBoard of Supervisors.
He said the governor needs to attachmeaningful mandate relief to a cap ontax growth. Otherwise, governmentslike Essex County will be forced tomake significant cuts to services.
Cuomo is calling for mandate reliefand Douglas said he’s confident thatspecific action is forthcoming.
Danna named to lead areaeducational reform teamBy Thom [email protected]
WARRENSBURG — Local resident Stephen Danna hasbeen named to head up a regional effort to implement thefederal Race to the Top ed-ucational reforms.
Washington-Saratoga-Warren-Hamilton-EssexBOCES officials an-nounced May 11 that Dan-na has been named SeniorFacilitator for the Race tothe Top initiative for theiragency, which oversees 31school districts with a to-tal enrollment of about42,000 students.
The Race to the Top ini-tiative includes develop-ing more comprehensiveways of quantifying stu-dent progress, and creat-ing a data-based methodology of evaluating performanceof teachers and administrators — then developing newtraining programs for educators to boost outcomes.
Danna is well-known throughout the region as an ex-pert in professional development, BOCES Assistant Su-perintendent Janie Cornell said in a prepared statement.
“Steve’s knowledge and expertise in school reform andeducator evaluations make him uniquely qualified for thisposition,” she said, noting that Danna has worked inmany area schools as an administrator or a consultant.“He is keenly aware of the challenges each district facesand what they need to succeed.”
Danna will be leading a regional team of educators inimplementing the Race to the Top reforms.
A committee of regional school superintendents choseDanna from about 30 candidates. He will serve a three-year term beginning July 1, with his $97,000 annual salarybankrolled by federal Race to the Top grant funds.
Cornell noted that Danna had served as a consultant lo-cally, regionally and nationally in curriculum mapping,teacher and instruction evaluation, and educational re-form.
“Steve has worked with some of the most innovative,high performing districts in the country,” she said. “Ourdistricts will benefit from his knowledge and experience.”
Danna has worked for the Hadley-Luzerne CentralSchool District for three years as Elementary Principal andCurriculum Director.
This year, Danna shifted to part-time post as curricu-lum director only, after a school administration realign-ment that was conducted to save tax money. He has sup-plemented his work as a consultant in grant writing andeducational staff development.
Saturday, Danna said he was looking forward to delv-ing into his new responsibilities of his BOCES Race to theTop post.
“It’s an exciting opportunity to bring about some edu-cational reform that’s much needed,” he said, praising theabilities of teachers and administrators in the region.“There’s a lot of fear and anxiety among teachers and ad-ministrators, but it’s my job to help them bring about re-form — It may be messy as times, but that’s how changeoperates.”
Troopers to step up nighttimeseatbelt enforcement in areaBy Chris [email protected]
TICONDEROGA — Starting this week, state and local po-lice will step-up enforcement of seatbelt violations as thebusy summer travel season begins.
Major Richard C. Smith Jr. is commander of New YorkState Police Troop B, headquartered in Ray Brook. He sayslocal, county, and state law enforcement officials are joiningforces to ensure that motorists are buckled up.
The initiative is part of a high visibility enforcement mo-bilization that will run through June 5. The enforcementcampaign will focus on seatbelt use both during the day andat night.
According to figures compiled by the National HighwayTraffic Safety Administration, nighttime vehicle passengersare least likely to wear their seatbelts – and are most likelyto die in car accidents.
In 2009, two-thirds of those killed in nighttime crasheswere not wearing their seatbelt.
Major Richard Smith with Troop B in Ray Brook says peo-ple believe they are less likely to be pulled over at night forseatbelt violations.
"They are putting themselves at tremendous risk," he said,adding that the increased enforcement is aimed at keepingmotorists safe.
During the two week enforcement period, troopers willstage more than 100 checkpoints and participate in satura-tion patrols across the North Country. A similar enforcementeffort last year resulted in more than 22,000 traffic tickets forseatbelt violations, including some 1,500 tickets for childsafety restraint infractions.

LAKE LUZERNE — Alarmed at the new prevalence ofcomputer-aided forms of harassment, a group of studentsand staff members at Hadley-Luzerne High School recentlydecided to take a stand, and they launched an anti-bullyingcampaign.
Since mid-january, they’ve worked to create an atmos-phere of acceptance, tolerance and respect throughout theirschool, while fighting bullying and intolerance.
Several months ago, these students and staff formed theschool STOP Committee to achieve their mission. STOP isan acronym for Students Together Opposing Prejudice.
STOP Committee members have been visiting classroomsto share their values and talk about how tolerance of diver-sities can create a positive, friendlier school environmentwith better outcomes for all.
The student presentations were based on what theylearned at a STOP Conference Jan. 14 at Siena College inLoudonville.
Sponsored by the Anti-Defamation League, the confer-ence brought together schools from all over the Capital Dis-trict and North Country. At the event, students participat-ed in various workshops, sharing their personal experienceswith bullying and learning techniques to achieve their mis-sion to promote understanding and tolerance.
They also learned that bullying has been exacerbated bythe power of computers, cell phones and the Internet,
whether it’s mass email or text messaging or postings on so-cial networking sites.
To fight such practices, the Hadley-Luzerne STOP groupadopted the slogan “Don’t Stand By — Stand up!” and helda poster and logo contest in addition to their classroom vis-itations. In April, former School Resource Officer TrooperPhil Poitier presented bullying information to the studentbody.
Future plans for the group include creating T-shirts bear-ing the logo: “Accept/Tolerate/Respect,” collaboratingwith school staff and administrators to develop and publishan anti-bullying policy, and holding community informa-tion meetings and presentations.
Plans are also underway to educate and train staff withspecific strategies to respond to bullying within the schoolcommunity.
The goal of the Hadley-Luzerne STOP Committee is tohave a school where all students accept each other, tolerateand celebrate individuality, and treat each other with re-spect, high school Principal Beecher Baker said Tuesday.
He praised this year ’s Senior class for deciding to bypassthe school’s traditional “Senior prank” and do something toboost tolerance instead: purchasing the Anti-Bullying T-shirts for the entire school body.
“Creating a positive school environment is a number-onepriority in education,” Baker said. “And this student-led ef-fort, with kids taking leadership roles — even making pre-sentations at faculty meetings — is just outstanding.”

WARRENSBURG — With solid pitching,stingy defense and a winning attitude, theWarrensburg High School baseball team hasachieved a late-season turnaround.
After tallying a 6-4 record for 2011 throughlast week, the Burghers won two critical vic-tories as they head into the Class C SectionII tournament.
Burgher coach Rex Reynolds said he washappy for his team’s rebound.
“Our players are really coming together asa team,” he said. “They are playing somevery inspired baseball.”
Friday May 20, the Burghers took the tal-ented Argyle Squad by surprise, avenging anearly season 1-6 loss with a 14-4 victory.
The game started right off with three base
hits. Senior Mike Curtis scored both times onhis first two at-bats. The early offensive as-sault put the Burghers up 3-0.
Argyle answered with a 3-run homer, thenboosted the score to 4-3 in the third inning.
With several hits and savvy base running,the Burghers responded with three runs.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, theBurghers hit their stride. Sophomore Pitch-er Justin Baird slammed a two-run homerover the left field fence, Mike Curtis fol-lowed with a triple, and Lucas Nelson ex-tended the streak with an RBI single. To topit off, John Joseph whacked a second pitchover center field fence for another two-runhomer. The hot Burgher squad finished theinning with five straight singles — eight oftheir nine players scored in that one stanza,Reynolds said.
“That hitting streak just broke everythingopen” he said, noting the team then stunnedArgyle with a double play.
In the game, Baird scattered seven hits,struck out six batters, and gave up threeearned runs.
Then on Tuesday, the Burghers followedup with another convincing win against anAdirondack-league opponent, although itwas a non-league game.
Warrensburg, with more hot batting, beatHartford 10-2, away. The Tanagers beat War-rensburg several weeks ago with a wide mar-gin. The game featured a lot of effectivefielding.
Senior Mike Curtis, the Burgher ’s secondbatter of the game, blasted a ball over theleft-field fence for a home run. Soon after,Burgher Junior Lucas Nelson scored on aTyler Williams RBI single, putting theBurghers up 2-0 in the first inning. Warrens-burg held Hartford scoreless until the 6th in-ning, when the Tanagers scored two runswith singles and base-stealing.
Burgher Sophomore Pitcher Justin Bairdthen shut down Hartford for the rest of thegame while the Burgher offense took over.
In the top of 7th, with one out, the next fiveBurgher batters in a row scored, with a walk,three straight singles and another walk.
Senior Nick Monroe then sealed the gamewith a 2-RBI single to left center field.
Reynolds said Tuesday his team had somevital help from batting by the bottom of thelineup — Junior Austin DeMarsh, SeniorNick Monroe, and Junior. Jacob Siletti, whotallied a lot of hits.
