WARRENSBURG — Christmas in W ar-rensburgh or ganizer Teresa Whalen got anurgent message from Santa early in the daySaturday Dec. 3, a disclosure that was a sur-prise yet heartwarming.

He’d only been on duty for a while duringthe annual event, but he’d alr eady gonethrough a crate of candy canes as he handedone out to each child.

Making an emergency run to her purvey-or, Whalen r e-supplied Santa with the all-natural variety of the holiday confection.

Before Santa finished his stint outside theWarrensburg Town Hall — or Toyland, as itis called for one festive day each year — hewent through 21 dozen candy canes, Whalensaid.

“We’ve never seen so many childr en —there wer e hundr eds and hundr eds of

them,” she said. “This year was definitelyrecord-breaking for our Christmas in W ar-rensburgh weekend.”

Through Satur day, the town hall wascrammed with childr en delighted with theofferings of holiday craft activities, she said.

“There wer e so many childr en — andadults, too — that we wer e beyond capaci-ty,” Whalen said. “It was incr edible. We’venever seen so many — ever.”

The warm weather, Santa’s reindeer, newactivities around town and a lot of publicityhelped draw a record crowd to the two-dayevent, she said.

Folks enjoyed Santa and Mrs. Claus andtheir accompanying two live r eindeer, andparticularly the craft sessions r un by SkyeGregson and Sudjai Bentley, Whalen said.

Gregson helped childr en make whilygigsand other wooden toys, and Bentley guidedthem in making woven paper baskets, Origa-mi-style, that wer e filled with fr esh gr eens

and flowers. She also instructed them in cre-ating miniature paintings. Also at Toyland,Girl Scouts and local students help childrencreate ornaments and gingerbread houses.

At Richards Library, Sarah Farrar read Po-lar Expr ess to a good cr owd of childr en,many garbed in pajamas. Santa made an ap-pearance at this event, passing out silverbells, as is depicted in the holiday tale.

The holiday tree-lighting ceremony Satur-day night at the town bandstand, Whalensaid, also dr ew a r obust cr owd, maybe thelargest ever for the event.

Boy Scouts had decorated the Floyd Ben-nett Memorial Bandstand with garlands ofgreens created from balsam boughs harvest-ed at Art Brown’s local tree farm. They weredecorated, like many other venues thr oughtown, with big r ed bows cr eated single-handedly by Lenore Smith, 94.

Whalen reported that the town Christmastree was the lar gest ever, because town Su-pervisor Kevin Geraghty had looked at thefirst one erected by town workers, and said“You guys can do better than that” — refer-ring to its modest size.

The tree that soon r eplaced it was so tall,Whalen said, that the local Girl Scouts wereable to only decorate the lower portion of it.

Whalen said the cr owd enjoyed music bythe elementary school band, as well as car-oling during the tree-lighting. They also en-joyed the steaming hot cocoa supplied by

Pam Morin, who arrived with a huge Ther-mos filled with the beverage — plus dozensof cookies — “in the nick of time,” Whalensaid.

The weather was balmy , with tempera-tures nearing 50 degrees — a far cry from theevent’s first year , when Whalen’s handsnearly suffered frostbite when temperatureswere as low as minus 20 degrees.

The warm weather wasn’t all that was newthis year. St. Cecilia’s Catholic Chur ch heldseveral events that were well-attended.

A Mini-Festival of T rees featur ed two-foot-tall trees decorated by members of thechurch’s Youth Mission gr oup, in a raf fle-style fundraiser held Saturday.

The group’s Breakfast with Santa event onSunday dr ew a considerable cr owd, saidGail DeMarsh, event coor dinator for thechurch. The Youth Mission members paint-ed children’s faces while others shared con-versations with Santa.

“We were thrilled with the response,” De-Marsh said, noting that people came from allover the region to attend.

Whalen said she was happy that so manypeople shared the traditional holiday spirit.

“A lot of other ar eas have lost the tr uemeaning of community,” she said. “But it’salive and well here in Warrensburg — We’retight knit, we support each other , and it’sjust so nice to come together at this time ofyear.”

Adirondack Journal Editorial

The new Marine Academyscheduled to open at Ticon-deroga High School next fall

will be a welcome addition to the re-gion’s education system and econo-my.

Operated by Champlain Valley Edu-cational Services and available to stu-dents from Glens Halls to Platts-burgh, the two-year program will pre-pare students for careers in the ma-rine industry — a business that re-mains strong locally despite the na-tional recession.

The new venture has the backing ofthe Eastern New York Marine TradesAssociation, a group of marine pro-fessionals desperate for trained help.

“There just aren’t enough marinetechnicians to fill all the jobs we haveavailable,” explained Roger Phinney,executive director of the Eastern NewYork Marine Trades Association. “Wehave jobs. We want to hire people. Wejust can’t find them.”

Marina owners and managers fromLake George, Bolton, Whitehall, LoonLake, Diamond Point, Brant Lake,Schroon Lake, Hague and Ticondero-ga attended an open house at the Ma-rine Academy recently. They cameaway impressed.

Rich Stolen, owner of Schroon LakeMarina and Loon Lake Marina, saidevery graduate of the Marine Acade-my will find a job immediately out ofhigh school. “We’ll be fighting forthem,” he said.

Bob Palandrani, owner of SnugHarbor Marina in Ticonderoga and amember of the Ti school board, hasbeen instrumental in the developmentof the Marine Academy. He stressedthe program is about much more thanmechanics. He said students willlearn about every facet of the busi-

ness — fiber glass, painting, welding,woodworking, computers, sales andmarketing.

Many of those jobs, he pointed out,are year-round, full-time opportuni-ties.

That’s more than can be said for jobprospects of many college graduatesthese days.

The Marine Academy will also be apartnership between education andbusiness, providing students withpractical experience while givingmarinas and others a trained work-force.

Scott Andersen, manager of FRSmith and Sons Marina in Bolton,said he has been in contact with ma-jor marine manufacturers such asMercury, Yamaha, Evinrude and Vol-vo. He believes those companies willsupport the the Ticonderoga MarineAcademy by providing specializedtools, training materials and comput-er access. He believes academy grad-uates will be able to leave school withmanufacturers’ certification — a hugeasset in the marina industry.

Andersen also believes the MarineAcademy can also expand in the fu-ture to train adult technicians. Thenearest Mercury training center is inNew Hampshire, he noted, and thenearest Yamaha training center is inGeorgia.

The Marine Academy in Ticondero-ga looks like a win-win situation forstudents and an important regionalindustry.

This editorial is the collaborative opin-ion of a board comprised of Thom Randall,Fred Herbst, Lou Varricchio, Keith Lob-dell, Stephen Bartlett, Andy Flynn andJohn Gereau. Comments may be directed [email protected].

Marine Academy a boostto students, economy One has to wonder,

with Herman Cainnow withdrawn

from the presidential racedue to his drop in the pollsand the excessive media cov-erage over several sexual al-legations and scandals, canany of the prominent figuresin government stand up tothe trust and expectations ofthe American public? Cain’ssupport seems to have drift-ed over to Newt Gingrichwho was criticized early inhis campaign for actions in his personaland public life. Is all that now to be over-looked or will he now become the targetfor personal flaws?

Is there no one person let alone two can-didates the public can agree has the unde-niable right stuff and are able to stand upto the intense public scrutiny to lead thisnation to a more stable economy andguide it through the ever changing worldevents? Do we really know, beyond seerperfection, what we expect from the indi-viduals we place in the nation’s highestoffice?

When we look back over our past lead-ers few presidencies were without flawsboth privately and professionally. FromGeorge Washington forward we’ve cometo understand that our leaders are humanwith faults and short comings. Despite ourdesire to see them reach perfection the re-ality is none can truly measure up as theideal candidate.

In this era of constant media surveil-lance, smart phone journalism and politi-cal spin masters is it any wonder weshould be surprised or disappointed whenthese candidates fall short of the super-hu-man demands we expect of them?

Is it too much to ask of our leaders thatthey be truthful, honest, hard working,fair, faithful, intelligent, loyal, god-fear-ing, respectable, even tempered, kind, un-derstanding, tough and well spoken? Is ittoo much to ask a leader to not have a pastcriminal record, bankruptcy, sexual indis-cretion, or harassment charge and aboveall not be egotistical or self centered whilepossessing a basic common sense that al-lows them to reach across political partiesto solve the nation’s problems? Well thatwould depend on who you speak with,but it really shouldn’t be that much of a

stretch to expect these indi-viduals to be of solid char-acter. But if you think aboutit and realize our most suc-cessful president in recenthistory was an actor itbrings things into perspec-tive. It may be far easier toplay the role of a presidentthan actually be one. Presi-dent Reagan had his faultsbut he was able to lead thenation successfully. Howmuch of what he accom-plished was borne out of

acting the role history will be the judgeover time.

President Obama has proven to be thetype of president many thought he was,which was an inexperienced communityorganizer who lacked the executive skillsto lead the country out of a strugglingeconomy. Many hoped his promises,charismatic charm and political savvywould create another Camelot era in thecountry. Combine that with the feel good,lofty thoughts of placing a black man inthe office as somehow making up for theway his race had been treated in the pastwould create a story book administrationas only Hollywood could write. Unfortu-nately, that has not come to pass. Todaywe blame the man for everything that hasgone wrong in the past three years andaside from his most staunch supporters,even criticize the few things that havegone right. With an approval rating that isone of the lowest ever recorded, PresidentObama’s best chance at a second termrests in the unknown facts surroundingthe republican nominee that might derailtheir candidacy in the same way it didCain’s untimely departure. 

But who is really to blame when any ofthese candidates fail to meet the high stan-dards we’ve come to expect? Is the faultall theirs or do we share the blame for try-ing to make these men and women some-thing they can not possibly be…. perfect inevery aspect of their lives both personaland professional. Youthful indiscretions,poor decisions, hidden details, a darkside, criminal activity, a closet full ofskeletons, or affiliations we deem unac-ceptable. Who can predict what fortunesor misfortunes await us in the next year asthe presidential sweepstakes plays out

Cartoon was a cheap shotTo the News Enterprise:I have to admit that I thought your “car-

toon” on Republican Science was in poortaste. I wasn’t surprised at it since I feel yournewspaper — like most — favors the Democ-rats on the state and national scene. Howev-er, I do not believe your paper favors eitherparty on local issues. I will be tr uthful; Iwould have thought it was in poor taste evenif it said “Democrat Science.” Let me explainwhy.

As a county party chairman, I feel that mymost important job is to get good qualitypeople to run for local and county positions.Let us look at the supervisor’s position in al-most any town in the county. The pay is verylow for the r esponsibilities it has and theamount of time it requires. Not only do youhave the town pr oblems, but also you haveto deal with the county problems. Both havebeen complicated by the state’s 2 per centproperty cap. You r emember how that wassold by Albany: “We know we have to elim-inate any new unfunded mandates and lim-it those unfunded mandates alr eady inplace.” How has that been working for theNorth Country?

So we have a poorly paid position with un-realistic constraints, impossible pr oblems,the expectations that no matter what you doon any issue you will be making enemies.You have to cut programs you can, not thoseyou might pr efer. Now as a bonus, alongwith any other politician, I open your paperand get a cheap shot attempt at humor . Iknow you ar e a r egistered Republican. W eare looking for a candidate for supervisor inyour town for 2013. Are you interested Dan?

Sincerely,Ron Jackson

Mixed feelings about editorialTo Adirondack Journal:I am a life-long r esident of T upper Lake

and read your editorial with inter est, abouthow my community was under siege.

First, I must say that I find it honorableand amazing how North Country communi-ties are always willing to stand up for eachother. I also whole heartedly agr ee with al-most everything you had to say about theAdirondack Club and Resort pr oject. Thisproposed development certainly has the po-tential to bring residents, tourists and jobs toTupper Lake and could very likely be one ofthe largest economic boosts the North Coun-try has seen since the Olympics. The devel-opers of this project have faced fierce attacksfrom environmental groups for many years,yet have persisted with their goal of build-ing a world-class resort in Tupper Lake that

will include the re-opening of Big Tupper SkiArea. The resort has wide-spread communi-ty support and will hopefully r eceive ap-proval from the Adirondack Park Agency inthe near future.

I must however, disagree with the secondpart of your editorial that attacks theAdirondack Recr eational T rail Advocates(ARTA) for promoting the creation of a recre-ation trail connecting the tri-lakes. I believethe cr eation of a trail such as this, wouldbring much mor e economic benefit to T up-per Lake than r estoring train service a fewdays a week for several months out of theyear. A world-class recreation trail could beused year-round by locals and tourists alikefor hiking, biking, running and skiing. Theremoval of the tracks would also allow foran extended snowmobile season on an easi-ly groomed trail into Tupper Lake.

I have utilized trails such as this in thepast and found them to be an extremely pop-ular tourist attraction. This pr oposed trailalso r uns alongside two lar ge state-ownedcampgrounds that average appr oximately180,000 visitors a year. The majority of thesecampers bring bicycles with them and couldpotentially take a scenic ride into T upperLake for the day because we ar e only 7 or 8miles away. I believe that most people visitthe Adirondacks for the purpose of hiking,biking, camping and skiing, not to ride atrain. I could continue with what I believeto be the benefits of a multi-use, all-seasonrecreation trail, but hopefully you see mypoint.

The bad side to this ar gument is that therailroad tracks would have to be torn up tocreate this trail and a lot of ef fort has goneinto r estoring train service to T upper Lakeby the Next Stop! Tupper Lake committee. Ihave also supported the train in the past, butrecognize a good idea when I hear one, andnow fully support the cr eation of a r ecre-ation trail connecting the tri-lakes. There arealso many mor e community members whosupport the creation of a trail in Tupper Lakeand no one believes our r estored train sta-tion would go to waste, as it could be uti-lized as a welcome center , museum, café orbike rental shop to name few.

The bottom line is that there are no outsidegroups or envir onmentalists at work her e.The ARTA has pr oposed building a worldclass recreation trail in the tri-lakes that hasthe potential to bring many tourists and out-door enthusiasts to T upper Lake to enjoy apeaceful, healthy, backcountry experience.The question is, can the residents of TupperLake agree on which option would be betterfor our community? It’s too bad a recreationtrail wasn’t pr oposed earlier, but I supportbeginning a new campaign titled “First Stop!Tupper Lake” and utilizing our r estored

train station as a welcome center to gr eatnew visitors as they begin their journeydown the Gr eat Adirondack Recr eationTrail!

Chris KenistonTupper Lake

Tupper Laker dislikes editorialTo the Adirondack Journal:As a Tupper Lake r esident and business-

woman I take great exception to your recenteditorial, “Help a community under siege.”Not one of those listed as authors, on thatopinion piece, live in T upper Lake so whatin the world do they know? Talk about out-siders trying to influence Tupper Lake’s fu-ture.

I and many other T upper Lake r esidentsare in agreement that although the railr oadidea was a good one it has not done what ithas pr omised it would do, and it has hadover 10 years of trying. It is time to try some-thing else. Ther e ar e no new businesses oradditional employment created in the last 10years that are attributed to the train.

The DOT travel corridor is an asset that istotally under utilized and the communitiesalong it should get together and capitalizeon its use. I believe that by converting therail bed into a trail we will get the most“Bang for the Buck” and we will be able todo it sooner than trying to build a trail allalong the rail thr ough wetlands, overstreams and rivers, etc. I travel a gr eat dealto other r esort ar eas and I have seen, firsthand, what a r ecreational trail can do to anarea. We already know what Snowmobilinghas done for Old Forge so let’s bring it hereto Tupper Lake and make the season lastlonger. Bicycling is becoming the leading re-quested facility for vacationers. They ar elooking for dedicated paths away from traf-fic. Notice all the bikes attached to campers

and cars going thr ough our community inthe summer.

Let’s give them a world class place to ride.Before you jump on the train bandwagonyou better ask yourself which you wouldrather do, take a train ride once or be able toride you snowmobile or bicycle every week-end? A r ecreational trail thr ough the Parkwould bring thousands of people to thesecommunities.

Don’t use false accusations about our mo-tives or disparage our ef forts to do some-thing gr eat for my community of T upperLake. I live here. I raised a family here. I haveseveral successful businesses here.

Don’t tell me I’m doing this to supportLake Placid. How would you know? Younever asked me. No, you ar e only listeningto one side of the story and only to a fewvoices. I, on the other hand, have r eceivedmany positive comments fr om my fellowTupper Lake r esidents in support of my ef-forts and so I plan on continuing my effortsto educate the community about this trail.This Rail Trail effort has nothing to do withthe ACR project. All it can do is be of a ben-efit to them. Because of my businesses I amwell awar e of what owners and buyers ofmillion dollar pr operties ar e inter ested inand it is not riding a train.

•100 Years Ago – Dec. 1911•Motherless girl drinks acid

Driven to desperation by constant br ood-ing over her lonely condition, Miss Rose L.Hewitt, a 20-year -old motherless girl, whoformerly lived in Warrensburgh, committedsuicide in Glens Falls Dec. 9, 1911 by drink-ing half an ounce of carbolic acid.

She took the fatal dose shortly after 6 p.m.at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Pelletier,3 W ashington St., wher e she boar ded. Inspite of all that Dr . G.A. Chapman and Dr .Virgil D. Selleck could do for her , she diedtwo hours later.

The girl had been melancholy for sometime. Several times she had been hear d tosay, “Well, they are all gone and I want to gotoo,” evidently r eferring to her mother andbrother who died some time ago.

Her father is living in Herkimer and hertwo br others, William and Geor ge Hewittlive ther e also. Another br other, Fr eemanHewitt lives in Seattle, Wa. The family mem-bers are natives of Thurman and moved tothat place fr om Warrensburgh 10 years agoto take r esidence in Burnhamville near thepaper mill. After the death of the mother, thegirl was left in the care of her aunt, Mrs. ScottRoss. For a time she was employed at theWarrensburgh Shirt Factory befor e shemoved to Glens Falls about thr ee years agoto work in the Leggett Box Company’s planton Maple St.

When Mrs. Pelletier went to Rose’s r oomto call her for supper, she discovered her ly-ing across her bed in a semi-conscious con-dition with a small bottle in her hand. Thisis the second time that Rose has taken car-bolic acid within six months, the former actwas discovered in time to save her life.

There is a persistent r umor that the girl

committed suicide because of being jilted bya young man who had paid her considerableattention until recently.

The funeral was held at the Pelletier homeand the body was taken to Warrensburgh forburial in the village cemetery by the side ofher mother in the family plot.

Boy dies after tooth extractionCassius Everts, 17, son of W illiam V .

Everts of Athol, died at his home Dec. 15,1911 after a brief illness of blood poisoningfollowing the extraction of a tooth.

The boy had been bothered with an achingmolar and came to Warrensburgh about tendays before his death and had it extracted.

There was nothing unusual about the op-eration but the sor eness of the gum did notseem to subdue as quickly as expected butthe young man was able to be out and aboutto do his usual duties at his father’s farm. Fi-nally an abscess formed on the boy’s faceand Dr. Allen Parker was called to see him.The patient’s condition, however , rapidlybecame worse and blood poisoning devel-oped causing severe suffering and pain un-til the end of his life finally came.

Cassius Everts was a close companion ofhis father, always at home, cheerful and hap-py. He was a dutiful son. Besides his parents,he is survived by two sisters, Grace and Mar-jorie Everts. Bear ers were John and Geor geLanfear, James Dow and Basil Gallup. Burialwas in the Baker Cemetery.

Violent racist ‘prank’ punishedPatrick O’Rourke of Glens Falls has some

original ideas regarding the nature of a joke.One night recently, Pat had a good “bun” onand while passing thr ough the Glens Falls“ghetto” was seized with a fit of humorwhich prompted him to pull the whiskers ofSamuel Cohen and smash him in the head

with a stone. Cohen failed to see the joke andshouted for help.

The residents responded to a man and Patsaid he thought there was “a riot after him.”In the pursuit, Maurice Cohan, son of the as-saulted Hebrew, fell and broke a leg.

City Judge Merrill fined the festiveO’Rourke $20 and 60 days in the county jailbut later suspended the last part of the sen-tence.

Convicted of wife’s murderThe trial of George Quick of Kings Station,

for the mur der of his wife at that place onSept. 4, 1911, was completed Saturday, Dec.16, 1911 at Ballston and Quick was foundguilty of mur der in the second degr ee. Jus-tice J.A. Kellogg of Glens Falls, who presidedat the trial, sentenced him to not less than 20years at Dannemora Prison. The maximumof the sentence is the natural life of the pris-oner.

The trial began Dec. 11, 1911. The result ofthe jury’s deliberations was announced byforeman N. Lester Beswick of W ilton, for-merly of Warrensburgh.

The prisoner had nothing to say when heheard the verdict but appeared to be pleasedwith the outcome of the trial. Quick is 29,and it is doubtful that he will survive hislong term in prison as he is thought to be dy-ing of consumption (pulmonary tuber culo-sis). (Note…The complete story of the brutalmurder of Quick’s beautiful 25-year -oldwife, who was shot in the back and dumpedin the woodshed, appear ed in the Sept. 17,2011 Adirondack Journal.)

Hog carcass switched?Jerome Lindsay of Luzerne hir ed Tyrus

Flanders, a butcher, to kill his hog. Flandersdid the job and took the car cass to his mar-ket to dress it.

Lindsay claims he sent back another hogweighing 100 pounds less and he has suedthe butcher to recover the difference in val-ue.

Treasure beyond priceOrley Wood, who went to San Francisco

from Warrensburgh about two years ago, onNov. 28, 1911 took unto himself a wife in theperson of Miss Lillian McLeod of that city.

Mr. Wood has a good position in the cut-ting department of Ulman, Selligsohn &Brown’s shirt factory . He writes his peoplehere that he is pr osperous, contented andhappy with a good wife, a tr easure beyondprice, who has made his life still more attrac-tive.

News roundaboutThe Baptist Chur ch of North Thurman is

to lose its pastor Jan. 1, 1912 as the Rev. Ed-win H. Hovey has accepted a call fr om thechurch at Hagadorn Mills. Good luck to himwhile he is there! (Note: Rev. Hovey marriedMary Hadden, the widow of Miles Fr ost ofThurman and moved to Hagadorn Mills withher and her two orphaned granddaughters,never to be heard from again.)

Fred Reynolds of North Thurman, whileskidding wood Dec. 8, 1911, was hit by a polejust above the small of his back and has sincebeen so lame and sor e that he could har dlyget around. He is improving very slowly.

Fred Barlow of Riverbank, who cut hisfoot some time ago, now can limp around in-dependent of crutches. Frank Smith’s ankle,which was badly jammed while he was skid-ding logs several days ago, has been verypainful.

C.W. Smith of Landon Hill, Chestertown,butchered a beef which weighed 626 pounds.D.B. Jenks butcher ed a yearling beef whichdressed off with 400 pounds of fresh meat.

Almina Mattison, 51, wife of Alfred Ward,died Dec. 1, 1911 at her home in Thurman.

Stella Cameron, little daughter of John D.Cameron of Athol is dangerously ill with tu-berculosis measles.

Our collective logic overthe years has been if youcan’t be trusted in yourprivate life how can wetrust you in the public are-na. Yet President Clinton,despite his private flaws,proved he could compart-mentalize the issues andserved very effectively asthe leader of the country.In the end we must decidewhat is the more impor-tant; a flawed candidatewho can lead the countryback to prosperity or se-lecting a candidate who

appears near perfect andsays the right things but isunable to address the widearray of issues affectingthe nation. Is the electionabout the person, the jobperformance or the party?As is the case every fouryears, if nothing else, it’salways entertaining, but in2012 we need to look be-yond the feel good beautycontest and hire a leaderwho can solve the many is-sues affecting our country.

CHESTERTOWN — JulieMosher Packer , a 47-year -oldmother of twins, has a formidablechallenge ahead of her, having re-cently been diagnosed withstage-four stomach cancer.

But her sister, Marylou Pierson,said this week that Packer ’s upfor the challenge, particularlywith the str ong support offriends, family and community.

That support will undoubtedlybe expressed on Sunday, Dec. 1 1when the community rallies be-hind her by attending the chicken‘n’ biscuit fundraiser party set fornoon to 5 p.m. at the ChestertownFirehouse on state Route 8.

“We all want Julie to enjoy thisevent before she gets in too muchpain fr om her therapy ,” Piersonsaid.

Packer ’s affliction was discov-ered after she went to the doctorin August, after enduring consid-erable pain, Pierson said.

Glens Falls Hospital gave herpreliminary tests Aug. 31, andSloan Kettering Cancer Center inNew York City confirmed that shehad stage-four stomach cancer ,according to Pierson.

The news hasn’t dimmed her

zest for life.“Julie’s r eally in good spirits.

She doesn’t even talk about notbeating it,” Pierson said.

Pierson added that Packer isembraced in the love of family —her husband Michael, and theirtwins Courtney and Connor — aswell as many friends.

The twins’ classmates at NorthWarren Central School r ecentlyexpressed such affection to Julie,who has been a worker in theschool cafeteria.

The students of EileenLawrence and Poul Carstensten’sfifth-grade classes sent car ds toJulie, in support of her “kickingcancer.”

The young students also wearperiwinkle blue to show theirsupport.

Julie said T uesday she deeplyappreciated everyone’s calls, ex-pressing support, of fering tohelp, and cooking up food andsending it to her house for herfamily.

“The support I’ve had fr om somany people is just ‘out of thisworld,’” she said. “W e live insuch a wonderful community.”

She said that in day-to-day life,

most people don’t fathom howstrong the community bond is —until such a challenge occurs.

“It’s tr uly a blessing to hearfrom each and every single per-son,” she said.

Julie is also sure to witness thesupport during the upcomingfundraiser, which includes musicby the r enowned Stephen L.Smith Band — one of Julie’s fa-vorites — and the group “Flipside420.”

Besides r ousing music, theevent includes raf fling of f giftbaskets and other activities.

The suggested donations ar e$10 for adults and $5 for children,or $25 per family. Proceeds are tocreate a fund for her childr en, asJulie is not presently working. Tosend a donation dir ectly, mail itto: Julie Packer , 10 Ferris Road,Chestertown NY 12817.

Pierson said that Julie’s posi-tive spirit lights up the lives ofthose around her.

“The kids need her, we all needher,” Pierson said. “She needs amiracle, but we’r e going have amiracle, there’s no question aboutit. Julie’s In very good spirits —she’s going to beat this!”

TICONDEROGA — Good help is har d tofind, especially if you operate a marina.

“There just ar en’t enough marine techni-cians to fill all the jobs we have available,”explained Roger Phinney, executive directorof the Eastern New York Marine Trades As-sociation. “We have jobs. W e want to hir epeople. We just can’t find them.”

That’s why Phinney’s gr oup and marinaowners fr om the r egion ar e supporting thenew marine academy being established atTiconderoga High School in its new state-of-the-art technology center.

Scheduled to open next September , theMarine Academy will be operated by Cham-plain Valley Tech and will be available tostudents from Glens Halls to Plattsburgh. Atwo-year pr ogram, it will be limited to 13students. Marina owners have said theycan’t wait until the first class graduates.

“We’ll be fighting for them,” said Rich

Stolen, owner of Schr oon Lake Marina andLoon Lake Marina. “Those 13 kids will haveno problem finding work.”

The program was outlined during a pr es-entation Nov. 18 to school officials and stu-dents from six high schools including LakeGeorge and Bolton. Also attending were rep-resentatives of FR Smith and Sons Marina inBolton, Schr oon Lake Marina, Loon LakeMarina, Yankee Boating Center in DiamondPoint, Performance Marine in Bolton, EZMarine & Storage in Brant Lake and SnugHarbor Marina in Ticonderoga.

The Marine Academy not only covers me-chanical instruction, but work in fiberglass,painting, welding, woodworking, comput-ers, sales, and marketing.

Many of the available jobs are year-round,full-time opportunities.

Scott Andersen, manager of FR Smith &Sons Marina in Bolton, said he has been incontact with major marine manufactur ersand these companies ar e likely to supportthe marine academy by pr oviding special-ized tools and training materials.

“Hopefully we can get to the point wherekids can leave here with manufacturer ’s cer-tification,” Andersen said.

Andersen said he envisions that the acad-emy will link up with a local college to offeran Associates Degr ee pr ogram in Marine

Technology.Andersen added that the academy could

expand in the futur e to train adult techni-cians. The nearest Mercury training center isin New Hampshire, and the nearest Yamahatraining center is in Georgia, he said.

Trashing rechargeablebatteries now illegal in NYBy Andy [email protected]

ALBANY — On Monday, Dec. 5 it became illegal in NewYork state to throw rechargeable batteries in the garbage.

Recycling is now the mandate, as residents are required todrop off their used rechargeable batteries at retailers who sellthem. Retailers had been required to accept the batteries be-ginning June 8, and they must post signs informing con-sumers about these requirements.

Manufacturers, retailers and consumers are all affected bythe new law, which was signed by former Gov. David Pater-son on Dec. 10, 2010. The law took effect Dec. 5.

People who ar e caught putting used r echargeable batter-ies in the garbage will be fined $50 for the first offense; $100for the second; and $200 for the third. The state Departmentof Environmental Conservation (DEC) is responsible for en-forcement.

“When we learn that people ar e not complying with thelaw, we will fine them,” said DEC Public Information OfficerLisa King, based in Albany.

While the DEC will not be r oaming the curbsides lookingfor batteries in garbage cans, they may take action based oncomplaints from people such as landlords and garbage com-panies, King said.

The new law covers the following types of r echargeablebatteries: nickel-cadmium; sealed lead; lithium ion; nickelmetal hydride; any other such dry cell battery capable of be-ing recharged; and battery packs containing any of the above-mentioned batteries.

The law does not cover: any of the above-mentioned bat-teries/packs weighing 25 pounds or more; batteries used asthe principal power source for a vehicle, such as an automo-bile, boat, truck, tractor, golf cart or wheelchair; batteries forstorage of electricity generated by an alternative powersource, such as solar or wind-driven generators; batteries forbackup that is an integral component of an electronic device;or any non-r echargeable batteries such as common alkalinebatteries.

Manufacturers are required to collect the batteries and re-cycle them, and the goal is to keep toxic chemicals out oflandfills.

WARRENSBURG —“Faith-filled people helpingothers” is how Sister FranHusselbeck, North CountryMinistry founder, describedthe agency she helpedlaunch during a luncheonheld for Ministry volunteersrecently.

In 1992, Sister Fran Hus-selbeck, North Country Min-istry founder , and SisterMary Flynn, seeking newchallenges, came to theNorth Country at the urgingof Bishop Howar d Hubbardof Albany. They approachedmany churches in the area tofind where the need was.

At the luncheon held atHoly Cr oss Chur ch in W ar-rensburg on Nov.16, Hussel-beck was on a panel of fivewho discussed their in-volvement with the or gani-zation from its beginning 20years ago. The other fourwere Sister Mary Brady, partof the original foundinggroup and a past staff mem-ber; Mary Mor o of NorthCreek, the first Boar d presi-dent; Kathy Dorman, secr e-tary of the Boar d for manyyears; and Father Paul Cox,

former pastor of Sacr edHeart Chur ch in LakeGeorge which pr ovidedfunding for the agency fromthe beginning — along withSt. James Chur ch in NorthCreek and St. Cecilia’sChurch in Warrensburg.

North Country Ministry isan ecumenical, not-for-prof-it outreach organization thatprovides services to individ-uals and families in need innorthern W arren County .The agency serves over 1,000people monthly and coversan ar ea over 600 squar emiles. Their services includesupportive counseling, ad-vocacy and referral, a meal-site, a family clothing shop,furniture donations, anemergency assistance fund,parenting support, housingrehabilitation and adult liv-ing units.

During the 20 years sinceNorth Country Ministry wasfounded, the outr each or-ganization has grown from astaff of two and a budget of$45,000 to a staff of 12 and a$300,000 budget. Theyworked out of Leaven Housein North Creek.

North Country Ministryhas sparked a number ofoutreach efforts in the area.

With a few volunteers the

Gathering Place at St. Cecil-ia’s Parish center was begunin Nov. 1992 to pr ovide so-

cial dining for those whoneeded food or companion-ship.

Today the Gathering Placeserves 30 to 40 lunches twicea week.

At the W arrensburg Pr es-byterian Church. In Januaryof 1993, a Thrift Store was es-tablished in the W arrens-burg Chamber of Commercebuilding. Some years laterthe Methodist Chur ch inNorth Cr eek donated theirrenovated barn to stor e do-nated furnitur e which in2010 served 300 families.Throughout the 20 years, acaseworker has been avail-able for advocacy and refer-rals.

Half of the 100 volunteerswere present at the celebra-tory luncheon and wer eshown appr eciation. Theywere encouraged by SisterFran who urged them to “letyour lives in God flow overinto the lives of others.”

Sister Mary Brady con-cluded that for 20 years themission of North CountryMinistry has been based onone enduring principle:“Love one another.”

WARRENSBURG — The preseasonpredictions of success for the experi-enced Bur gher girls basketball teamgained cr edence Dec. 1 as the teamcombined solid of fensive playmakingand aggressive defense to beat Johns-burg 44-14.

After a slow start of fensively, theBurgher girls ratcheted up their defen-sive moves and dominated the actionon the floor , Bur gher Coach ScottSmith said.

“The first five minutes, our of fensewas sloppy , but then the defensestepped up and set the tone for the firsthalf,” he said. The Burghers closed outthe half with a score of 20-2.

Burgher guar ds including Sopho-more Merissa Hayes r epeatedlycharged the Johnsbur g players fr ombehind, successfully stealing the ballas their upcounty opponents wer eheaded downcourt.

The Bur gher of fense then beganclicking, as the girls took time to set uptheir plays well and passed to team-mates with an open shot, Smith said.

“The girls ran a half-court trap andit broke the tension,” he said. “The of-fense then started to move well, withplayers making passes to teammatescutting to open spaces.”

Senior forwar ds Ashlie Mor ehouseand Alexa Bryant got into a rhythm intheir jumps under the net, grabbing re-

bounds and putting up second shotsthat boosted the margin.

Besides Hayes, Burgher guards Sen-ior Jaci O’Brien and Sophomore Kerri-gan Roth wer e among those stealingthe ball fr om Johnsbur g guar ds timeand time again throughout the game.

Johnsburg coach Phil Goodman saidthat the Burgher ’s sneak attack caughthis playmakers off guard.

He also said his team was hamperedbecause it was short-staf fed. JuniorMikayla Glode was not on court due toillness, and Kayla W illiford was alsonot feeling well, but she was playing.

“We had a har d time scoring,”Goodman said. “W e’re still fumblingaround with the ball at this point.”

But he said his players put in solideffort in disr upting the Bur gers’ inte-rior passing.

Senior Ashlie Mor ehouse led W ar-rensburg with 14 points and seven re-bounds. Sophomore Mika Mor ehousefollowed with eight points, and Kerri-gan Roth contributed six points. Sen-ior Isabella Szabo had five points in-cluding one thr ee-pointer. SeniorAlexa Bryant also had five, and class-mate Savannah Mosher added four .Freshman Karlee Duell scor ed a bas-ket, and Senior Montana Sheridan hita foul shot.

For Johnsbur g, Astasia Myler ledwith six points, followed by Br ookeDenno with five points, Jillian Ur-bonowicz with two and Liz Or dwaywith a foul shot.

With steals and rebounds, Burghers defeat Johnsburg

Burgher Alexa Bryant heads for the basket, as Johnsburg player EmmaLee Ellsworth attempts a steal. It was Burgher guards,however, that stole the ball multiple times early in the Dec. 1 game to gain an advantage that Johnsburg never could re-coup. Warrensburg won the matchup 44-14.

Beer could become majorcontributor to local economyBy Fred [email protected]

TICONDEROGA — Ken T ucker believesbeer could be an economic for ce in theAdirondacks.

The Ticonderoga man has embarked on aproject to attract small breweries throughoutthe region. He believes the effort will resultin $3 billion in revenue a year and 5,000 jobsin 15 years.

“It’s the right time, it’s the right place,”Tucker said of his plan. “It’s just a matter ofmaking it happen and I’m the guy for it.”

The key in Tucker ’s vision is “blue gold”— the 10 trillion gallons of fr esh water thatflows from the Adirondacks each year . Wa-ter is the key ingr edient in beer , he noted,making this area a prime location for br ew-eries.

Tucker lived 12 years in Or egon, wher esmall breweries thrive. Craft br ewing is r e-

sponsible for $3 billion in revenue each yearand 5,000 jobs in Oregon, he said. Tucker be-lieves the industry can do the same thing inthe Adirondack Park.

To make his pr oject a r eality, Tucker hasapplied to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigra-tion Service to cr eate a “EB-5 r egional cen-ter” in the Adirondacks. Those centers are el-igible to accept for eign investment in ex-change for immigration consideration. Theprogram allows for eign investors to getgreen car ds if they meet an investmentthreshold.

“There’s a lot of money outside the U.S.looking for investment opportunities,”Tucker said. “Why not bring that money tothe Adirondacks?”

Tucker hopes to have approval of the “re-gional center” application in February.

The closest “regional center” to the area isJay Peak, Vt., he said, where 400 foreign in-vestors have pumped $200 million into thelocal ski industry.

Tucker is confident for eign investors willwant to take advantage of the Adirondackwater to operate nano-br eweries, br ew-

pubs, r estaurant-breweries, micr o-brew-eries and regional breweries.

Vermont has the lar gest number of br ew-eries, per capita, in the United States, Tuck-er noted.

“The Adirondack Park is about the size ofVermont; we have about the same popula-tion,” he said. “Why can’t the Adirondacksof New York have the same footprint? V er-mont exports a lot of beer and imports a lotof money. We can do that, too.”

While he awaits federal appr oval of the“regional center ,” Tucker is contacting po-tential investors and investigating possiblelocations for breweries.

To date he has identified six spots he feelsare ideal for the pr oject — in Cr own Point,Keeseville, Saranac Lake, Lake Placid andPlattsburgh.

The Cr own Point location is the formerPorter ’s Mill stor e — the old Agway — onRoute 9N.

“It sits right on Putts Creek with plenty ofpure, clean water and has a wonderfulview,” Tucker said of the Crown Point spot.“I think it’s a great location.”

Bethany Kosmider, Crown Point supervi-sor, agrees.

“Ken Tucker met with me a few weeks agoand it is quite appar ent there is an interest-ed business, a micr o-brewery,” said Kos-mider, who is leaving of fice Dec. 31. “I’msorry this didn’t happen while I was in of-fice, but at least it’s gotten started.”

Once the br eweries ar e up and r unning,Tucker hopes to cr eate a distribution net-work thr ough the Adirondack Br ewersCoalition.

The project will impact the local economyin a number of ways, T ucker said. Historicbuildings that now sit vacant will be r eno-vated into breweries, pubs and r estaurants.Plants will hire workers. Local farmers willbe able to grow hops, a necessary ingredientin beer making.

“You’ve got to see the big pictur e,” hesaid. “We’ll start with small br eweries andgrow fr om ther e. Soon Adirondack br ewswill have a cachet and value equal to ‘madein Vermont.’ We’re close and I couldn’t bemore excited.”

According to the World Meteorological Organiza-tion (WMO), global temperatures for the year of2011, currently rank as the tenth highest since

records were first established in 1850.Scientists, who believe global warming is responsible for

the continuing drop in Arctic sea ice, watched as the icepack reached its lowest recorded levels again this year.Climate change is happening, and it appears to be acceler-ating. Doubters should consider the facts.

Until 2011 is retired to the history books, the top‘Hottest Years on the Planet” occurred in 2010, 1998, 2005,2003, 2002, 2009, 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2001.

Our wild weather is also getting windier. Six of the topten wind records have been established since 1998. Thelast ten Spring seasons, spanning the years from 2002-2011were among the windiest and driest 10-year period onrecord, capping a clear upward trend that began in themid-1990s.

While skeptics remains, it is obvious that the climate haschanged. Anyone who spends time outdoors has come torecognize that the weather is getting both warmer, andwetter and windier.

It stands to reason that water will evaporate more rapid-ly as temperatures continue to rise, and temperatures willincrease. This increase in evaporation will result ingreater and more frequent precipitation.

Fortunately, the majority of our local precipitation cameas snow last winter, but when it did rain; it came down inbuckets. Eventually, last year ’s snowpack combined withthe heavy spring rains to cause flooding that raised havocfrom the High Peaks to Lake Champlain, and beyond.

The spring floods of 2011 were responsible for establish-ing new records across the region for both lake and riverlevels. And while the spring floods were labeled as “100year flood” events, heavy rains in the early fall of 2011,soon eclipsed them with a “500 year flood” event. Fortu-nately, the most recent floods were not compounded by adense snowpack. The heavy rains were enough to causesevere damage, all alone.

After reviewing articlesthat I've written at the com-pletion of the Big GameHunting

Season, since 2000, the an-ecdotal evidence of climatechange is painfully obvious.Here are a few to consider.

2000: End of the hunt-The unpredictable fallweather continues to con-found hunters… withweather changing from 10degrees below and snow to45 degrees and rain…thegrass is still green with no

snowflakes in sight, even the hills are no longer white.2001: With the end of the season quickly approaching,

warm weather combined with a lack of snow has stunteddeer movement. The major complaint coming from hunterswas the fact that the “woods remained brown” for the ma-jority of the season.

2002: With no snow, the primary woodland color re-mains brown, another distinct advantage for the deer.Rain, which is expected by the weekend, further com-pounds the hunter ’s disadvantage as it keeps scent low tothe ground and generally makes for uncomfortable travel.

2003: With the continued warm weather patterns andthe lack of snow, the Regular Big Game Hunting seasondrawing to a close on Sunday; it appears this year will beone of the brownest in recent memory, as the snow coverhas been quite scarce throughout the entire hunting sea-son.

2004: Deer hunters lament the continuation of the un-seasonably warm weather. The weather continues to con-found hunters while other outdoor enthusiasts such as an-glers, hikers, bikers and birders delight in the current con-ditions. Thanksgiving passed without a trace of snow, asweather patterns delivered heavy rains, high winds andwarmer than average temperatures. The weather just did-n’t cooperate with hunters this year.

2005: The weather has remained balmy with no snow insight. Even in the high country, the remaining snows havemelted due to weather conditions more typical of June

than December. I gaze out the window in the last throesof the season and the thermometer reads 63 degrees. Iwatch as winds gusting rip limbs off the trees in my sideyard.

2006: The Regular Big Game season will conclude atsunset on Sunday, December 7 in the Northern Zone andreports concerning hunter success are mixed. Hunterscontinue to lament autumn’s unseasonably warm weather,which has disrupted the hunting season and stunted themovement of wildlife.

2007: As I write this column, a heavy snow continues tofall. Although a consistent tracking snow was lacking forthe majority of the hunting season, conditions have beenfar better than the previous four seasons…. when lastweekend’s storm subsided on Saturday evening, deer thathad been down for two days were finally on the move

2008: The unusual weather patterns, with warmer tem-peratures and a lack of consistent snow, are now the stan-dard in most areas of the Adirondacks. It would be diffi-cult for any North Country hunter to question the realityof climate change as it has become as obvious as the brownground underfoot.

2009: The Last Big Hunt: Thanksgiving weekend haslong been considered a benchmark that signals the rapidtransition from fall to winter. However, it has not been avery reliable indicator. This season, hunters have gonewithout any significant snow cover. It's been anotherbrown season.

2010: The northern zone big game hunting season, willend with less than a full week of snow on the ground. Itwas not unexpected. For years, the big game season has re-mained nearly snowless.

2011: Ditto the remarkable remarks listed above.Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

if not all of the power used by the respectivefacilities. The arrays ar e 150 feet long andabout 16 feet in depth.

The equipment, representing tens of thou-sands of dollars, will not cost the local tax-payers anything — in fact, the taxpayers areguaranteed savings on their electricity bills.

While Edge Design is paying for theequipment and installation, the town isguaranteed savings of 10 to 25 percent on theelectricity usage for the life of the contract,or 10 years, Chester Supervisor Fred Monroesaid.

“It seems like a good deal,” Monroe said.“We could probably save more over the longterm if we hired engineers, designed and in-stalled the panels and equipment ourselves,but we’d be undertaking financial risks,” hesaid. “It makes sense to me to sign this leaseagreement and have guaranteed savings forthe taxpayers — and it may up a lower costoverall anyway.”

As a private entity , the consulting gr oupcan receive subsidies and tax breaks for theequipment investment not available to thetown, Monroe added.

Also, the private company takes on therisks of damage due to vandalism or electri-cal storms, as well as changing technologyand variable energy markets.

Although a pr oposal was consider ed tosign up for a 20-year lease, both parties de-cided to settle on 10 years because technol-ogy could change, making the existing pan-els obsolete, Monroe said.

When the lease is up, the installation maybe available for purchase to extend the sav-ings, Monroe said, noting that the solar ar-rays are expected to last 20 years or more.

Monroe said that existing electric billspaid to National Grid ar e $12,000 per yearfor the health center, $22,000 per year for themunicipal center , and almost $1 1,000 peryear for the transfer station town garage andrecycling center complex.

He said that savings overall could be$40,000 to $50,000 over the life of the con-tract.

“We’ll be saving taxpayers money whilegiving back to the environment,” he said.

Winslow Moor e of Edge Consulting saidthat the solar panel arrays pr oduce 25,000watts, or 31,250 kilowatt-hours each peryear. He declined to estimate total savings,noting that calculating the sum was complexbecause National Grid’s prices change ac-cording to peak demand periods.

Monroe said he was first introduced to theidea in a presentation before the Adirondacklocal Government Review Boar d by one ofEdge’s engineers.

The solar arrays ar e partially hidden in

each site they ar e installed. The ones at theMunicipal Center are just south of the com-plex towards the building’s rear, and the oneby the health center is adjacent to the ceme-tery. At the town transfer station, two arraysare in the r ear by the cover ed landfill, andprovide electricity for all the public worksbuildings at the complex.

At Dynamite Hill, the array is behind andto the left of the Chamber of Commer cebuilding. It’s main purpose is to supply theelectricity for the town water system pump-ing station. It also powers the warming hutbuilding.

Monroe said that he and town board mem-bers wer e inter ested in boosting the towngovernment’s self-sustainability while r e-ducing costs.

The town is now also looking to install anew furnace for the town hall that burnswood pellets or chips rather than heatingfuel.

“One of the goals discussed among lead-ers in the Adirondacks is to become ener gyefficient and not rely on outside sources,” hesaid. “Solar power wind ener gy and woodpellets or biomass is the way of the future —and it’s the right thing to do.”

POWERING THE FUTURE: Town of Chester landfill and recycling attendant Lou Lashomb walks past an arra y of solar panels, one of t wo installations 150 feet long,that will power the town transfer station, town garage complex, and Chester recycling center. The town of Chester is converting to solar power to provide electric-ity for all their facilities, including the Chester-Horicon Health Center, the town highway garage, the Chester Municipal Center, and the Dynamite Hill complex. Lo-cal energy officials say Chester is leading the way in employing such alternative energy sources.

QUEENSBURY — Bearing flags, a silvery bugle andsolemn expressions, veterans stood at attention while coun-ty and state officials recounted the military service of the lateFrederick J. Vetter, a pillar of the Chestertown communityfor decades.

The cer emony was held Monday Dec. 5 in the W arrenCounty Municipal Center.

Vetter was a Medical Aidman in the U.S. Army, serving inthe 10th Mountain Division during World War II from 1943to 1945 in the Apennine Mountains and Po Valley Italy.

After the war, he returned to the North Country, represent-ing the thir d generation of V etters working in his family'shardware stor e – after attending St. Lawr ence Universityand earning a degree in Business Administration.

Vetter sold the business in 1967, then worked with localsurveyors Bill Brannon and Joseph LaFlure. He also workedas a full-time professional ski patrolman for 17 years at GoreMountain Ski Center.

During these years, he worked on the family's tr ee farm.His community service includes membership in the Chester-town Fir e Department for about 33 years, serving as Fir eChief from 1961 to 1964.

He also served on the T own of Chester Zoning Boar d ofAppeals, the Advisory Board to Emerson Bank in W arrens-burg, and the Advisory Board of the Chester-Horicon HealthCenter.

Warren County Board of Supervisors Chairman Dan Stecnoted that Vetter's dedication was r eflected in the six mili-tary medals he received, including the Purple Heart.

Stec gave the V etter family members a pr oclamation de-claring Dec. 5 as Frederick Vetter Day in his honor.

“We all appreciate his life and everything he's done for ourcommunity, not only in the U.S. Military service overseas,but right here,” Stec said.

The solemn r ecognition of Vetter's service to his countrywas the latest of dozens of “Honor a Deceased Veteran” cer-emonies held in Warren County since the program started in2002.

Chester Supervisor Fred Monroe said he and Vetter werefriends.

“Fred Vetter was a fixture in the town of Chester , and heaccomplished all kinds of good things for local citizens,”Monroe said.

Daniel MacEntee, representing state Sen. Betty Little, pre-sented the Vetter family with the state Senate Liberty Medalhonoring Fred Vetter ’s service. The award was on behalf ofthe New York Division of Military and Naval Affairs.

“This is the state Senate’s highest honor,” MacEntee said.“He was an outstanding veteran that meant a lot to his com-munity.”

County Supervisor -Elect Mark W escott, an aide to U.S.

Rep. Chris Gibson, pr esented the Vetter family with a flagthat had been flown over the U.S. Capitol. That flag is to beflown for 30 days over the W arren County Municipal Cen-ter, then returned to the Vetter family for posterity.

Vetter ’s daughter, Jackie V etter-Avignon, talked of howright after her father had graduated from Chestertown Highschool, he left his hometown to train at Camp Hale, high inthe Colorado Rocky Mountains.

There, he prepared for alpine winter warfare. Among thetraining exer cises, wer e when soldiers stayed out in thewilds, enduring bitter cold, for up to four weeks in canvastents.

It was Fred Vetter ’s experiences in the Rockies, she said,that prompted his love of the outdoors and inter est in ski-ing.

Vetter-Avignon brought to the ceremony photos and mem-orabilia of bygone days, and they sparked considerable dis-

cussion and r eminiscing that lasted about an hour at a r e-ception that followed.

Fellow members of the 10th Mountain Division, includingPhil Santasier o of Johnsbur g, attended the event, as didfriends and family members.

Jackie’s husband, Nick Avignon, noted that he passed onhis love of skiing to Jackie, who also was a ski patr ol mem-ber, Avignon said.

“No one was more of an Adirondacker than Fred was,” hesaid.

Vetter ’s love of the high peaks was passed on to yet an-other generation, as the Avignon’s son Christian, Fr ed Vet-ter ’s grandson, now lives and works a few miles fr om thatformer military outpost.

“Fred Vetter won’t be for gotten,” Avignon said. “W e re-member his service to his nation and his family — we misshim.”

Business groupfrom page 1

The tentative goal of the gr oup is to gen-erate more business activity in the towns ofChester and Horicon. Objectives to accom-plish the goal wer e discussed at the Dec. 2meeting. The group’s next meeting is set for9 a.m. Dec. 16 at the Panther Mountain Inn.

The momentum for forming the group oc-curred this fall after four businesses inChestertown closed operations – Becky'sBloomers floral shop, Adirondack Ural mo-torcycle dealership, Anywheres Diner andBagel Girls Deli. These four followed the clo-sure of a dozen others in recent years.

Initial ideas to r evive commer ce in theNorth Warren area proposed Dec. 2 includeestablishing shuttle services to the train de-pots in North Creek and Riparius as well ascommunities in southern W arren County,pursuing grants that pr ovide incentives forbusinesses to locate her e, lining up loansand grants for downtown building r enova-tions and upgrades, and lobbying local gov-ernment for pr ogress on infrastr ucture, in-cluding constructing a municipal sewer sys-tem for downtown Chestertown.

Without such a sewer system, restaurantsare unable — under state health laws — tostart up new operations in town.

Other ideas included lobbying state of fi-cials to pr ovide exemptions to r estrictiveand expensive mandates and building codesthat now hamper commercial development.

One idea discussed at the Nov. 2 meetingwas making Pottersville mor e pedestrian-friendly by utilizing traf fic-calming strate-gies such as constructing berms or islands to

keep tr ucks and vehicles fr om speedingthrough the hamlet.

Another idea was for the town of Chesterto pass a law that would pr ohibit tr uckersfrom using Jake Brakes – which make a loudchattering noise – when passing thr oughPottersville and/or other hamlets in town.

One of the business owners of fering pro-posals was Don Butler of the Panther Moun-tain Inn. He noted that the group would like-

ly be similar to the North Creek Business Al-liance, which has been successful in boost-ing commer cial activity in that hamlet byproviding shuttle services to transport trainriders and skiers downtown fr om the traindepot and the Gore Mountain Ski Center.

Joel Beaudin, one of the partners in NorthCreek's Copperfield Inn and a member of theNorth Creek alliance, noted the importanceof transportation – how the hamlet has been

re-energized through the use of busses andgolf carts to connect tourists with r etailsshops and restaurants.

He said that a survey conducted r ecentlyamong train tourists indicated nearly half ofall visitors, primarily fr om the Capital Re-gion, had not been aware of the existence ofNorth Creek prior to the train ride.

The key to building r obust commer cedowntown, he said, was offering attractionsand services that pr ompt visitors to stay intown overnight.

Butler and Beaudin both noted that whilein years past the streets of North Creek hadbeen virtually empty on weekdays, thissummer it had been teeming with touristswhen the train arrived – thanks to the ex-pertise of the new railway operator, Iowa Pa-cific.

Among the suggestions raised at the T ri-Lakes alliance meeting wer e passing outtourism leaflets pr omoting the Chester -Brant Lake region during the train trips fromSaratoga to North Creek.

Another idea was providing more ameni-ties for snowmobilers and of fering trans-portation services to meet their needs.

Clarke Dunham of Railroads on Parade inPottersville, suggested that the group deviseand of fer pr esentations to tourism gr oupsand or ganizations extolling the attractionsand amenities in the North Warren area.

Greg Beckler , owner of Natural StoneBridge & Caves in Pottersville, said the Dec.2 meeting of those seeking to form a busi-ness-boosting group had been productive.

”This was a good first step in getting peo-ple together and moving things forward,” hesaid.

During a meeting Friday, Dec. 2 of area business proprietors, Clarke Dunham (foreground), owner of the Rail-roads on Parade attraction in Pottersville, proposes ways to boost business activity in the towns of Chesterand Horicon. Don Butler (rear), owner of the Panther Mountain Inn, listens to Dunham's ideas.

CHESTER — A Horicon woman diedMonday, Dec. 5 after her sedan veer ed of fSchroon River Road, slammed into a utilitypole and landed upside down in the SchroonRiver, police said.

The crash was called into 911 soon after 7a.m. by a passing motorist who noticed thesheared utility pole and wires down.

Responding to the scene were State Troop-er Tanner Close of the Chestertown stationand Chestertown firefighter William Rohm.They waded through the 3-to-4 feet deep wa-ter, struggled to get the car door open andpulled Nadine A. Kilcullen, 49, of Hayes-burg Road fr om the vehicle, State PoliceSpokeswoman Maureen Tuffey said.

The two pulled her up an embankment,and then members of the Chestertown Emer-gency Squad administered CPR, Tuffey said.

Soon after , Kilcullen was transported toGlens Falls Hospital, wher e she was pr o-nounced dead.

On her way to work, Kilcullen had beendriving southbound on Schroon River Roadwhen her 2008 For d sedan went of f the as-phalt on a curve in the road.

An autopsy was to be performed to deter-mine a cause of death, but she appeared not

to have suf fered major injuries, authoritiessaid. Kilcullen was not wearing a seat beltwhen the r esponders found her , but it wasunclear if she had it fastened while she wasdriving, Tuffey said.

Authorities said that said icy asphalt mayhave prompted her vehicle to skid.

Warren County Public W orks Superin-tendent Jef f Tennyson said ther e was thin“black ice” seen later in various spots innorthern Warren County where fog and misthad frozen after contact with pavement.

There was no guiderail at the curve whereKilcullen’s car veered off the road.

Tuesday Tennyson said a county engineerhad inspected the scene to see if installing aguiderail there was warranted. He said thatguiderails are normally only installed wherethere is a sharp drop-off.

He said his department was awaiting anaccident report from State Police before theymake any decisions on changes to the road-way.

Tuffey asked that any witnesses to the in-cident call the State Police at 583-7000 or494-3332.

“Although the woman could not be saved,a considerable, cooperative ef fort fr ommany agencies was made to give her everychance for survival,” she said in a preparedstatement.
