Over the four-day stretch, tens of thousands of tourists packed the sidewalks, stor es, r estaurants and lakeside walkway — and they spent a considerable amount of cash dur- ing their visits, store owners said. Only intermittent rain over the weekend, including brief but power- ful thunderstorms, cleared the beach of swimmers and the skies of para- sailers. Doug Frost, proprietor of the Tom- Tom Shop said sales over the July 4th weekend wer e equal to the same four-day period in 2010. His store sells, jewelry , collectible knives, moccasins and souvenirs. “Numbers-wise, it’s been a good weekend,” he said, as he spotted a shoplifter stealing a necklace. “Last year was a good year , and we’re dead even with 2010,” he added, seconds before he confronted the thief, prompting him to take the necklace out of his basketball briefs. See FOURTH OF JULY, page 14 Store owners happy with July Fourth sales By Thom Randall [email protected] LAKE GEORGE — A spending plan for 2011-12 is now in place for the Lake George School District, following two defeats of proposed budgets at the polls. On June 30, the Lake Geor ge Central School Board endorsed a contingency budg- et, mandated by the state for school districts when voters reject a spending plan twice. The school district’s new budget, howev- er, is below the state’s spending cap called for under such a contingency budget. The board adopted a $20.2 million 2011-12 spending plan, or a 2.33 percent increase in the tax levy. Under the state spending cap, the district could have decided to raise the tax levy up to 2.84 percent, Lake George Su- perintendent of Schools Patrick Dee said. “We decided not to ‘back fill’ the budget as we could have — instead, we’ll be mak- ing the full reductions,” he said. The budget calls for spending $20,256,266 or $246,044 more than in 2010-11, a 1.23 per- cent increase over 2010-11. The sum reflects an $87,013 reduction from the last proposed budget that was rejected by voters June 21. Dee noted that the school district had been in a financial squeeze this year, losing $240,00 in state aid while being compelled to contribute $600,000 into the state r etire- ment system for teachers and staff. Under the 2010-11 contingency budget, the school district is prohibited from spend- ing for items of equipment costing mor e than $500. The approved budget eliminates some furniture purchases and the planned acquisition of a new bus equipped for stu- dents with physical challenges. The dis- trict’s first pr oposed 201 1-12 budget, r e- flecting a 3.98 percent tax levy increase, was defeated soundly by voters May 17 by See LGCS BUDGET, page 14 LGCS adopts contingency budget On Monday, July 4, Tourists stroll down Canada St. despit e a thr eatening thunderstorm which pr opelled a bolt of lightning int o Lake George in the early afternoon.

Citizen input soughtBy Lynn [email protected]

WARRENSBURG — At loc al schoolboard meeting June 27, W arrensburgCentral Superintendent of Schools TimLawson said the WCS School Board hassome difficult decisions to make duringthe next eight months in developing theschool district’s 2012 budget.

Lawson predicted that without man-date relief or caps on school employees’salaries, pensions and benefits, theschool district would be insolventwithin two to four years.

With Gov. Andrew Cuomo's cut instate aid, W arrensburg and all other

school districts in New York have somedifficult decisions with substantial im-pact on local education and life in areacommunities, Lawson said.

Actions to be under consideration in-clude merging schools, or sharing pro-grams and eliminating positions andprograms, he said. Warrensburg citizenTom Drane has been suggesting for thepast year or more that the school mergeinto one campus to help cut costs.

In hearing Lawson’s forecast, SchoolBoard members ur ged school districtresidents to attend board meetings,voice opinions and pr ovide input onthe schools’ future. The next boardmeeting is July 11 at 7 p.m.

Also, WCS Board of Education mem-ber Linda Baker Marcella suggested the

board develop an ad-hoc committee todetermine the objectives that the schoolboard should focus on, and potentialchanges and new directions for theschool system.

Lawson brought to the board’s atten-tion that Glens Falls city schools mailout a school budget survey to all vot-ers. Lawson suggested that the boar dadopt such a practice. School Boar dmember Dean Moore replied that sucha survey would be helpful in develop-ing a school budget and could perhapseliminate the citizens advisory board. Itis anticipated that mailing a survey outto all households could cost about $300in postage.

Letters to the EditorBudget ‘guesstimates’ are insufficient

To the Adirondack Journal:The year 1923 witnessed some no-

table events. Calvin Coolidge becamepresident of the U.S., T ime Magazinemade its debut, and Henry Houdini,the venerable magician and escapeartist, fr eed himself fr om a straightjacket while suspended upside down40 feet above the ground. Wow!

There was something else — A newword enter ed the American lexicon:“Guesstimate”. The term is defined as“an estimate usually made without ad-equate information” or , “to estimatewithout substantial basis in facts orstatistics.”

Current Lake George Town Supervi-sor Frank McCoy is on r ecord as sup-porting a greater openness in the townbudgeting process. I’m glad. But he hasalso stated that the budget is just a“guesstimate” and he has been advisedto “overestimate expenses and under-estimate revenues.” What?! I think I’vejust seen fiscal discipline morph intopolitical expediency.

Here’s the core of what I’m lookingfor in town budgeting and financial re-porting:

1) A detailed statement of r evenueand expense, identification of thesources and uses of funds — a balancesheet and a table showing staffing lev-

els by department;2) A narrative describing assump-

tions made for the budget;3) a quarterly report comparing ac-

tual results with the budget; and4) an explanation of significant vari-

ances, plus or minus 10 percent, of ac-tual results from the budget.

I’m not yet r eady to have the “lovefest” with the Lake George Town Board

suggested in a recent newspaper head-line. When the budget for 2012 is puttogether, and actual financial perform-ance is reported at the end of next year,I hope the citizens of the town of LakeGeorge don’t find themselves in a fi-nancial straight jacket. We are not ex-actly Houdinis.

Once again we are being told weare at the brink of financial dis-aster. If no agreement between

the houses and the president is agreed toby month's end, the country will surpassthe debt ceiling in early August. Thosewho understand the inner workings of thefederal government warn that if a deal isnot in place by the 22nd ofJuly that we won’t havetime avoid a default.

While the debt limit hasbeen adjusted already oncethis year in early May to$14,294 trillion, an attemptto bump it to $16.7 trillionwas defeated in late May .Since 2001, Congr ess hasvoted to raise the debt lim-it 10 times.

With neither side talkingto each other at this point it,would appear as we r eachthe pr ecipice, both sideswill agree on yet another debt limit increasein place of solving the issues that divide thetwo sides and in many ways divide ourcountry.

The president and Democrats want tax in-creases on the richest Americans, thosethey’ve identified as earning $250,000 ormore annually , combined with spendingcuts. The Republicans want the deficit r e-duction strictly on the spending side with notax increases.

I’ve yet to meet anyone who favors tax in-creases on themselves, but it’s OK if they are

leveled on someone else. Pr esident Obamaspeaks of millionair es and billionair es whoshould be incr eased but when he includesthose earning only a quarter of that amount,it’s somewhat disingenuous. According tothe data fr om the IRS, the country’s top 10percent wage earners pay approximately 70percent of the federal income taxes while 47

percent of the wage earners atthe lowest end of the wage scalepay no federal income taxes. Thepundits will spin these numbersmany ways to build a case fromtheir perspective, but clearly thetop wage earners are doing theirshare already.

The problem as I see it, is notwho pays mor e or less, norwho’s right, the Democrats orthe Republicans. If we let thetwo parties work this out, they’llnever solve the debt problem letalone any of a number of majorissues facing the country. Nine-

ty percent of Americans who vote will fallbehind one party line or another and it’s asclear as the day is long how you view theseissues. The divide between the sides is get-ting deeper and far more entrenched in theirposition. We haven’t had fisticuffs breakingout in Congress yet, but clearly it would ap-pear we are headed in that direction.

In r eality it’s those 10 per cent of Ameri-cans who voted in the last election and willvote in the next election ar e the ones whoswing the majority one way or the other.

Adirondack Journal Editorial

Dan AlexanderThoughts from

Behind the Pressline

It’s time to bring things together inthe town of Westport.

Since 2002, a committee made up ofmembers of the Town of Westport and De-partment of Public Works, Westport Cen-tral School District and Westport Volun-teer Fire Department have been workingto find a way to upgrade their buildingswhile keeping taxes down for members ofthe municipalities.

Their proposal is a new municipal cen-ter, which will house all four entities inone form or another, from town offices,courthouse, garage bays and repair facili-ties.

After a failed vote over a year ago, thecommittee has sent the proposed bond res-olution back before the voters, hoping thatthe second time and an increase of publicinformation sessions and communicationwill reverse a seven-vote defeat.

Voting in favor of this measure is theright way to go, not only for the future ofWestport but for the future of the NorthCountry.

For years, the New York State Comptrol-ler ’s office, as well as state lawmakers likeElizabeth “Betty” Little and Teresa Say-ward, have been advocating shared servic-es among municipalities, and a combinedbuilding to house multiple entities is theperfect example of how these groups canwork together to save taxpayers money.Westport could be an example for the stateto use, showing others how to work to-gether.

While three smaller buildings may costless in terms of building, you are going topay three times as much for engineeringstudies, planning, zoning process, permit-ting, labor, heating, maintenance and gen-eral costs incurred by running a municipalbuilding. That puts an added long-termburden on the taxpayers of the communitythat is not needed or wanted. In short, wefeel that a vote against this project wouldbe a vote for increased taxes over the longterm, which is something no one wants toface, anywhere.

Many municipalities in the North Coun-try are faced with this issue. Buildings donot last as long because of the harshweather conditions. Vehicles cannot be left

outside in the cold months, either becausethe water in a fire truck would freeze orthe stress of starting vehicles in coldweather would severely decrease the lifeof the vehicles, adding more on the backsof the taxpayers.

Most towns are facing the same deci-sions with multiple properties, and, asWestport School Board member DwayneStevens said at a recent meeting, fourwalls to take care of is better than 12 ormore.

This plan would also get two pieces ofproperty back onto the tax rolls in theWADA building and the current site of thefirehouse. Even if the worst-case scenariois realized and these buildings have to betaken down, they are both properties inthe heart of the downtown area and wouldbe profitable on the tax rolls.

It also doesn’t take any more propertyoff the tax rolls, since the site would bebuilt on the current town shed property.Building elsewhere — like the WestportIndustrial Park, would mean a loss in rev-enue for the town, even with no one cur-rently building there.

Every municipality knows that the moremoney they can get on the tax rolls, theless impact it will have on all. If you havethree pieces of tax-exempt property andyou can add even just one of those parcelsback onto the rolls — building or not —you do it.

We do empathize with the loss of a townhall near what is considered the town cen-ter, but, in all honesty, we now live in anautomotive society where it is not a hard-ship to travel an extra mile for services.For sentimental reasons, it should stay.However, the WADA building in Westportused to be a hub of teenage activity fromcommunity center nights to dances andother events. None of that happens therenow.

Times change. In order to keep up withthe times, we must as well.

Westport’s shared communitybuilding could be a state model

•100 Years Ago – July 1911•‘Wicked’ summers in Lake George

Lake George, for about ten months of theyear a quiet, or derly, moral and peacefulcommunity, during the summer season is aterribly wicked place.

On Sundays especially , the devil gets inhis fine work among the townspeople andsummer visitors and causes them to indulgein all sorts of sinful pleasures, such as gath-ering at the post office for the morning mail,visiting the souvenir counters and loiteringat the drug stores and other places where theseductive ice cr eam soda tempts their ap-petite and induces a reckless expenditure ofsmall coin.

In or der to r emove temptations fr om thepath of our weak and erring r esidents andsummer visitors and protect them from theirown folly, the three protestant ministers, theRev. M.S. Fales of the Pr esbyterian Church,the Rev. E.M. Parr ott, r ector of St. JamesEpiscopal Church and the Rev. C.H. Bennett,pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Chur ch,have constituted themselves a board of cen-sors to decide what may be done in this com-munity and what cannot be permitted. First,they have decreed that the post of fice mustbe closed on Sundays, even if it will be ex-tremely inconvenient for the majority of oursummer guests who spend their moneyfreely among us.

A petition is being cir culated by thesezealous reformers to be forwarded to Wash-ington earnestly praying that the sinful dis-tribution of mail on Sunday will be discon-tinued. An effort is also being made to closethe souvenir stor es and soda fountains onSunday but the effort so far has been unsuc-cessful. Lake Geor ge is not yet r eady to r e-

turn to the old “blue laws” of Puritan daysand the narr ow ideas of a small gr oup ofwould-be reformers.

Local residents suffer fiery deathsTerribly burned about the head, face,

arms, body and lower limbs when her night-gown became ignited fr om the flame of amatch with which she attempted to light akerosene lamp on July 7, 1911, little GertrudeJacobie, 4, daughter of Raymond Jacobie ofSouth Glens Falls, died a few hours laterfrom the effects of her injuries.

In another occurr ence, Delia Lamb, 38, aNew York City cook employed at the campof Moses Naimburg at Blue Mountain Lake,on July 10, 1911 attempted to light a fire withdenatured alcohol. Ther e was an explosionand she was so badly burned that she died afew minutes later. Her body, burned almostto a crisp, was taken back to her home inNew York City.

High stepping thoroughbredsDick W ood, a pr ominent horseman of

Saratoga Springs, was in Warrensburgh July11, 1911, a guest of the Warren House Hotel.

In the palmy days of the late John L. Rus-sell’s Home Lawn stock farm, in this village,Dick was well known thr oughout this sec-tion as a skilled trainer and driver of MaryRussell, and other speedy steppers of Mr .Russell’s string. (Note: John Luce Russell’ssummer home, Bonnie Brae V illa, which hehad built in 1865, was next door south of to-day’s Oscar’s Meat Market until it burned ina suspicious 1980 fir e. The barn wher e hekept his fancy show horses is still there. Thehorse, Mary Russell could have been namedfor John’s wife, Mary Denison Russell ortheir daughter , Mary Matilda RussellArchibald who died in 1941. John Russell

died in 1909. Judge Loran Hof fman, War-rensburgh’s late Justice of the Peace, used totell me with great nostalgia about his excite-ment as a little boy seeing the prancing Rus-sell horses, of the Morgan breed, in town pa-rades with shining silver harnesses trimmedwith red velvet.)

Faithful servant deadCarrie Doring, 70, died of heart tr ouble

Sunday night, July 9, 1911 at Bonnie Brae Vil-la, the summer home of Mrs. John L. Russellafter an illness of only four days.

She had been employed by the Russellfamily in the capacity of a domestic for thepast 33 years and had proven herself a veryfaithful servant. The funeral was held at theRussell home, the Rev . G.H. Pur dy officiat-ing. Internment was in the Russell family lotin the W arrensburgh Cemetery . (Note: Itwould seem that Mary Russell did not buyher faithful servant a grave stone as there isnone to be found on the Russell lot. The Rus-sell monument, however, is one of the finestto be found in the cemetery.)

Man learns a hard lessonBert Mattison, who six months ago was

sent to the Albany Penitentiary for disorder-ly conduct, returned to his home in Warrens-burgh. Bert didn’t particularly enjoy his so-journ in the capital city. According to his re-port, “the pen” is fully as bad as it is report-ed to be, and he says it would be extr emelydistasteful to him to go back there again.

Lady faints from shockDuring the thunderstorm July 6, 191 1,

Arthur Morrison’s farm house just above theChester tollgate, was str uck by lightningwhich caused about $300 in damage, with noinsurance to cover the loss. The bolt wentdown the chimney into the sitting room andafter shattering the stove, spread out in var-ious directions, causing havoc in five rooms.

Mrs. Morrison, who is an invalid, was sit-ting in a chair by the bedside surrounded byher five younger children. The electric fluidpassed along the side of the bed fr om the

head to the foot and the shock caused Mrs.Morrison to faint, while her daughter , Mar-garet, 17, had her left leg and hand scorchedand suffered a severe shock. Fortunately thehouse did not catch fire. The farm is knownas the Lee W oodward place and is consid-ered the best farm in the town of W arrens-burgh. (Note: I feel that the farm in this sto-ry is today’s Alynn’s Butterfly Inn on Rte. 28,a fine Federalist bed and br eakfast enter-prise owned by Al and Lynn Smith.)

Old store building razedThe small stor e building on Fr ed R. Mix-

ter ’s property on lower Main St. in Warrens-burg was torn down July 15, 191 1. It wasbuilt around 1871 and was the home of thefirst jewelry establishment in Warrensburgh,which was conducted by James Eldridge,known at that time as “T inker Jim.” Sincethan it has been occupied by various enter-prises but has been vacant for the past sev-eral years. (Note…Fred Mixter ’s farmhousewas the stone building acr oss from today’sWarren Ford.)

News roundaboutOn July 1 1, 1911 the mer cury stood at 97

degrees in the shade. A number of peoplehave been ill on account of the extreme heatand drinking too much water. Some farmersare r ushing haying as they complain thatgrass is not growing back on account of thedry weather.

A Denver physician declar es that thecountry is going crazy. It is pretty well gone.(Note: If he thinks that it was bad in 1911, heshould see it today!)

Roscoe Hadden and Earl Rierden returnedhome on July 16, 1911 from a fishing trip toMill Creek Pond with 115 pounds of picker-el and bull-heads.

William Owens, proprietor of the popularPalisades Hotel at Brant Lake, is building athree-story addition to the hotel which willinclude 16 sleeping rooms with baths and areception room. The dining room will be en-larged. The capacity will be about 100.

They were all for “Change” in 2008 whenthe Republicans r uled the r oost. By 2010,they swung away fr om the Democrats theyput in charge and back to Republican candi-dates.

The problem is we need fewer liberals andconservatives in elected of fice and mor enon-partisan Americans who ar e willing tobegin to address the issues and start solvingsome of the problems before the parties runthis country into the ground with their con-sistent ideological battles. I think most of usget tired of the parties beating the other sideinto the ground when they are both respon-sible for the mess we find ourselves today.

President Lincoln said, “A house dividedagainst itself can not stand,” back in 1858when the country was split over the issue ofslavery. But was it r eally about slavery orwas it about economics and finances? Hispoint back then was that one side or the oth-er would eventually win out. W ithin a fewyears, the country was plunged into a terri-ble civil war that nearly destr oyed theUnion. The loss of life and destr uction was

horrific as brother fought against brother.Today we find rhetoric and anger has been

growing over the past several decades witheach side growing farther apart. The partiesseem to be split on nearly every issue andwhile we’re a long way from a civil war thetime to solve these issues is now, not later. Ifthe parties or their leaders can’t make it hap-pen, then we need to start getting mor e in-volved and demand mor e accountabilityfrom our elected officials.

With the 2012 pr esidential campaignsstarting to heat up, I wonder if Liebermanand McCain had it right in 2008, when Mc-Cain consider ed Lieberman as his VP r un-ning mate. If we can’t get a tr ue independ-ent in the highest of fice, per haps we needone from each party who can agree to worktogether and lead their parties to the table toreach tr ue compr omise. We all know thatwon’t happen, but clearly something needsto change the tr end or I fear we ar e in formore of the same as we zigzag from one elec-tion to another and the divide once againthreatens the Union.

LAKE GEORGE — The Lake GeorgeSchool Board voted June 30 to hire a law firmto investigate actions by certain membersthat could lead to their removal.

Emerging from a closed-door session con-vened for “proposed litigation,” board pres-ident Naomi O’Reilly read a resolution to thepublic.

“It has come to the attention of the Boar dof Education of the Lake Geor ge CentralSchool District that certain Boar d membersmay have violated certain obligations asmembers of the boar d,” she said, adding itwas the duty of the board to comply with alllaws and regulations of the state.

“The Boar d of Education of the LakeGeorge Central School District her eby au-thorizes its attorneys, Girvin & Ferlazzo, toinvestigate and if justified, commence an ap-peal to the New York State Commissioner ofEducation for the r emoval of certain boar dmembers for failur e to comply with certainlegal requirements.”

The entir e seven-member boar d voted infavor of the resolution. O’Reilly declined toreveal the names of the board members whowere subject of the investigation.

After the boar d meeting, Superintendentof Schools Patrick Dee said the State Policeand W arren County Sherif f ’s of fice wer econducting an investigation into a situationthat had come to light recently.

“An allegation was made to me by a com-munity member in reference to an employee

and a boar d of education member ’s con-duct,” he said, adding he’d received the res-ignation of the staff member in question, andit was accepted by the board at a prior boardmeeting.

He added that a r eport was made to thestate Education Department under Section83 of the state Regents r egulations, regard-ing moral conduct.

The findings, he said, could possibly leadto either censure or removal of board mem-bers.

“We ar e complying completely with theinvestigation,” he said.

Authorities have said police ar e lookinginto a r elationship years ago between ateacher and a student. Sources in the schooland community have said that several boardmembers might have been aware of the situ-

ation.Authorities declined to discuss the case,

noting an investigation is under way.Kristine Lanchantin of the Albany law

firm of Girvin & Ferlazzo was at the June 30board meeting. She said her services wouldbe costing the school district $140 per hour.

Local citizen Steve Shaw said the firm’swork shouldn’t be limited to a few boar dmembers, but all of them, as they all mightbe implicated. Lanchantin r eplied she’d behappy to widen the investigation, if so di-rected by the board.

Another citizen said that to assure impar-tiality and objectivity, an investigation of theboard should be conducted by an entity oth-er than a law firm hired by the board.

Down Canada Street, Gift Cottage also ex-perienced robust sales over the weekend —and customers were law-abiding, store own-er Margit Mitchell said.

“We enjoyed a very good weekend,” shesaid. “Customers wer e buying, and theywere well-behaved.”

Across the street, Mya Boucher, managerof the Silvermine North, was showing jew-elry to several customer seconds after shewas displaying tie-dyed dr esses to othercustomers in the busy store.

“We’re having a great weekend,” Bucklersaid as she sold several hand-blown glasssmoking pipes to two men. “This rain isn’thurting much — the visitors ar e alr eadyhere — where are they going to go?”

North several blocks on Canada St., CaitBoucher and another clerk at the Adiron-dack Winery were offering samples of wineto a about a dozen customers lined up at theenterprise’s tasting bar.

“This is our busiest weekend of the year,”she said with a wide smile.

Around the corner on Amherst St., AngelaPerrone was serving up baked goodies forcustomers.

The day earlier , Sunday July 3, she wascalled to report to work extra hours becausea long line of customers str etched out thebakery’s door.

“We’ve been r eally busy this weekend,”said Perr one, a W arrensburg High SchoolSenior.

Bill Manion, owner of Molly Malone’sIrish gift shop, offered a more subdued takeon the weekend’s sales.

“We’re doing okay , but we’r e a little be-hind last year ,” he said. Satur day was de-cent, he said, and Sunday was a “bannerday.” But Monday was slow, he said, notingthe thunderstorms may have scared off a lotof the store traffic.

“Weather is the chief factor — not theeconomy,” he said. “I’m still optimistic that2011 will be a decent summer overall in LakeGeorge.”

New Way Lunch, the long-a waitednew restaurant on M ain St. in War-rensburg, is likely to be open by Fri-day, July 8, ac cording to the ent er-prise’s c o-owner P eter G azetos.Gazetos said Wednesday a healthdepartment official was conductinga final inspection, and the restaurantwas other wise fully r eady f or thepublic. The eatery, located at the siteof the former Potter’s Diner, has un-dergone ex tensive renovation thisspring, and f eatures a new int eriorand new k itchen equipment. P ic-tured are Susan G azetos, New WayLunch’s c o-owner, and Susan andPeter’s daughter, Alexandria, who isinvolved in manag ing the ent er-prise.

Gordonfrom page 1

read a statement that theboard would not be r e-ap-pointing Gor don as girlsvarsity soccer coach and as-sistant track coach.

She said the boar d hadlistened and reviewed com-ments made at public meet-ings on behalf of r etainingGordon, and had r eademails r eceived on the is-sue.

“We r ecognize the closerelationship he has with hissupporters, but it’s not theonly factor to be consid-ered,” she said. “The boardis upholding the adminis-tration’s decision.”

Later, Dee said Gor donwas not re-hired based on arecommendation by Princi-pal Francis Cocozza. Whiledeclining to of fer specificreasons for not r e-appoint-ing Gor don, he said thatGordon’s record as a coachincluded “no instances ofinappropriate conduct.”

After O'Reilly an-nounced the decision, theSchool Boar d was facedwith angry pr otests fr omthe crowd. Several stood ontheir chairs, declaring thatthe boar d was making anarbitrary decision and theboard wasn’t listening tothe students or local citi-zens.

“We can’t fathom this de-cision, considering the out-pouring of support for JoelGordon in the community,”Steve Shaw said, remarkingthat boar d members wer erisking being voted out ofoffice.

In r esponse, O’Reillyclosed the meeting, remark-ing that the boar d had noobligation to hear publiccomment, and she stood upto leave.

But under the ur ging of

board member Dan Cracco,the board remained in placeand hear d comments forabout an hour , as par entsand students pleaded forthe boar d to r everse theirdecision.

Lake George High School2010 graduate T im Goutossaid that in two prior well-attended public meetings,not one person voiced any-thing negative about Gor-don. Instead, they spoke ofhis dedication and how heinspired the students.

Goutos said the boar dshouldn’t discount the pub-lic’s widespread support asbeing merely emotion.

“Don’t discredit the logicand facts that have been ex-pressed,” Goutos said.

Parent Tanya Br uno saidthe non-r eappointment ofGordon could mean the dis-solution of the soccer team,and the school could facelegal troubles with the statefor not of fering equalsports opportunities forgirls.

Other par ents talkedabout how many studentswere afraid of r etributionfor speaking out in behalfof Gordon.

Several soccer teammembers talked about howGordon, even in the face ofhis non-r eappointment,had ur ged them to be r e-spectful of the SchoolBoard’s decision and con-tinue to participate withfull enthusiasm and coop-eration.

Local citizen Jef f Jarr ettcriticized the board for notmeeting with Gor don andhearing his opinions.

“At no time did youspeak to him, yet this issueis so contentious,” he said.“Joel’s taken the high r oad— he hasn’t said anythingabout you. If you got toknow Gor don, your opin-ion would be very dif fer-

ent.”Several students and par-

ents noted that most boar dmembers had neverwatched Gor don in action,nor attended a soccer gameor track meet.

One student r equestedthat the boar d members bepolled individually on thedecision.

Board members V irginiaEtu and Linda King said thedecision was dif ficult, butthey felt they needed to up-hold the administration’sdecision.

Board V ice Pr esidentGerard Humiston said hehad reviewed the facts pre-sented befor e he cast hisvote for non-r eappoint-ment.

O’Reilly said ther e wasinformation discussed inexecutive session thatcouldn’t be made public.

However, ther e is nostate law pr ohibiting r e-vealing executive sessiondiscussion fr om beingmade public, and Gor donhas said he welcomed theboard to publicly r evealany issues.

Board member RobertBolen hesitated with his re-sponse, and his eyes filledwith tears when he said hedisagreed with the boar d’sdecision.

“I don’t know what theheck has happened to myschool,” he said.

Bolen, Cracco and fellowboard member Steven Jack-oski said they supported a“win-win” decision inwhich Gordon would be re-instated as coach underspecific guidelines forcoaching conduct.

But after a poll of theboard at the July 1 meeting,a slim 4-3 majority of theboard stood by their deci-sion not to r eappoint Gor-don.

LAKE GEORGE — Since1855, the Fort W illiam Hen-ry Hotel has served as aleading destination for ele-gant tourism as well as aprominent Adirondack land-mark.

The original Fort W illiamHenry Hotel was built in1854 on a bluf f overlookingthe southern end of LakeGeorge. It opened in 1855 tothe acclaim of wealthytourists who enjoyed the in-comparable views it af ford-ed as well as the attentiveservice and luxurious ap-pointments.

The hotel, a favored desti-nation for tourists that ri-valed its Eur opean counter-parts, was thr ee stories tallwith a 235-foot long facadethat faced the famed lake,plus an east wing that was115 feet long.

A year later, a new ownerjacked up the building andadded a new main story ,complete with 16-foot highceilings, and a piazza orgrand po rch, s upported b y30-foot high towers, thatstretched o ut along the ho-tel’s fr ont for patr ons’ so-cializing.

The two stories added atthis time boosted the hotel’scapacity fr om 350 to 900guests. Three towers wereadded to the str ucture, en-hancing its grand ar chitec-ture.

Accommodations in thehotel pr ovided a new stan-dard in the Adirondacks.

Telegraph lines connectedbusinessmen with clients inNew York City and else-where. For the entertain-ment of visitors, the hotelfeatured both a billiards par-lor and a bijou roomequipped with stage manag-er and actors for live dramaproductions.

Natural gas provided heatand lighting; 200 employeesattended to the guests’needs. Electric lights wer einstalled decades later , in1886.

In the hotel’s early years,famous American figures in-cluding General Philip H.

Sheridan, Ulysses S. Grant,and William Tecumseh Sher-man — famous Civil W argeneral and distant r elativeof Journal history columnistJean Hadden — were alsofrequent visitors at the FortWilliam Henry Hotel.

Lake Geor ge history buf fDon Fangboner notes that asa 12-year-old boy, TheodoreRoosevelt enjoyed a vaca-tion at the hotel. Fangbonersaid that a Roosevelt’s diaryreveals that in 1871, pre-teenTeddy enjoyed participatingin air-rifle contest on the ho-tel grounds, the site of manytraditional r ecreational ac-tivities.

Tally-ho horse-drawncoaches brought guests fromGlens Falls, over the woodplank road to Lake Geor ge.In 1882, a railway was com-pleted to Lake Geor ge, andtrains started servicing thehotel.

On June 24, 1909, when150 employees wer e on sitefor the hotel’s opening thenext day, fire consumed thebuilding.

A year after the fir e, theDelaware & Hudson Rail-road, the hotel’s owners, de-cided to r ebuild a smallerthree-story hotel whichwould accommodate 150guests. The white stuccobuilding with a r ed tile roofwas completed and opened

for guests on June 17, 1911. Itfeatured a wide fr ont porchoffering the same view as theformer h otel. Although t hehotel was downsized, theappointments were still lux-urious — the Fort W illiamHenry Hotel even featured aresident orchestra.

New in this configurationwas a marble and concr etelakeside per gola — a tr el-lised colonnade — connect-ed to the hotel by a pedestri-an bridge.

In late 1912, hotel openedto winter guests, of feringskating, sledding, skiing andhorse-racing on the ice.

In 1952, a gr oup of LakeGeorge and Capital Regionentrepreneurs formed theFort William Henry Corpo-ration to purchase and oper-ate the hotel as well as builda r eplica of Fort W illiamHenry, which hosted battlesfamous in American history.

From 1959 thr ough 1961,the r estoration of the FortWilliam Henry fortr ess de-veloped the venue into atourist attraction.

About this time, a 64-unitmotel was added to the FortWilliam Henry property, andin 1969, the owners decidedto demolish the aging hotel,but r etain the old hotel’sdining r oom and kitchen,since r enovated into theWhite Lion Room. In 1984, a

35-room annex and indoorpool was built followed in1999 by the construction of a10,500 squar e-feet confer-ence center.

At the turn of the 21st cen-tury, Fort William Henry re-sort owners decided to builda new hotel that would at-tract lar ger confer ences aswell as guests seeking up-scale accommodations. As aresult, a five-story hotel wasbuilt on the footprint of its1911 pr edecessor, and it in-cluded many of the designelements of the historic ho-tel. The new venue openedto guests on July 18, 2004.
