WARRENSBURG — Area sports fans willbe witnessing talented athletes from fivecounties contend for championship titleshere Saturday, Feb. 2 as Warrensburg HighSchool hosts the Section II Division 2 Class3 Wrestling Tournament.

The wrestlers will be representing 13schools from a region stretching from Du-anesburg to Cambridge and from Westerlo toWhitehall.

Dozens of wrestlers will be competing inthis annual competition, formerly known asthe Section II Class D Tournament, Warrens-burg High School Wrestling Coach Mark Tra-passo said.

“Having Warrensburg chosen to host thisregional tournament is a tremendous hon-or,” he said. “We urge all area sports fans toattend and show their support of the top areawrestlers and our local wrestling program.”

Warrensburg hosted the tournament in2011. Trapasso said Warrensburg was chosenas the site for 2013 due to solid fan supportin the past and the ample size of the gymna-sium — which can accommodate threewrestling matches ongoing simultaneouslywhile four large bleachers are extended.

The dedicated and efficient work of volun-teers, he said, has also prompted Warrens-burg to be chosen. Volunteers help set up theequipment, staff the concessions, and ac-complish an array of other tasks, Trapassosaid.

“We have volunteers who know how torun a tournament, and we’ve proven we candraw people in, fill the stands — and we’relocated right off the Northway.”

Schools participating in this tournamentare: Albany Academy, Berne-Knox-Westerlo,Cambridge, Duanesburg, Fort Ann, GreenTech, Maple Hill, Rensselaer, Salem,Schoharie, Waterford, Whitehall, and War-rensburg.

Although athletes are competing for indi-vidual titles, the favored schools for topteam scores are: Duanesburg, Salem and de-fending champ Berne-Knox-Westerlo, ac-cording to area coaches.

Wrestlers from Warrensburg High Schoolexpected to be top contenders include NickNedelcu, Denver Berry, and Trevor Baker,although in years past some “dark horse” lo-cal contenders have accomplished upset vic-tories.

The team from Whitehall High features re-turning Section II champions Al Aubin andJohn Diekel. Salem High is armed with re-turning champions Luke Fronhofer, CarterMerecki, And Tyler Morris.

Admission for the Warrensburg tourna-ment is $6, a fee set by Section II officials.

LAKE GEORGE — As dozens of revelerspartied Friday, Jan. 25 at Fort William Hen-ry Resort during the Lake George WinterCarnival Gala dinner-dance, Joan Grishkotjoined several friends to reminisce about fes-tivals of years past.

The event was dedicated to Joan and herlate husband Walter Grishkot for their yearsof dedicated work organizing and publiciz-ing the Winter Carnival as well as otherevents and attractions in Warren County.

Joan Grishkot joined long-time carnivalorganizers Hal Halliday and Nancy Nicholsand area writer-reporter Maury Thompson,author of a biography of her husband, toshare memories. Walt Grishkot died in May2011 at the age of 85.

Accompanied by a lot of laughs, the fourrecalled Walter ’s many publicity stunts andstaged events to promote the Lake GeorgeWinter Carnival — or Grishkot’s signatureevent, the Adirondack Balloon Festival.

Halliday recounted how Grishkotarranged for two Army tanks to roll downBeach Road in a mock race during one earlyLake George Winter Carnival.

“They were only crawling at one-halfmiles per hour, but we got national newscoverage out of it,” he said.

Joan Grishkot recalled how her husbandteamed up with Glens Falls clothing storeowner Jerry Solomon — later to become thearea’s U.S. Congressional representative —to stage a fashion show. The conclusion,Nichols said with a hearty laugh, featured asuave model in a full-length mink coat sud-denly exposing herself to the audience,showing off a risque gold lame bathing suitand a lot of flesh.

Hearing the tale, Halliday rolled his eyes.“Walter was always on the edge,” he said,

recalling how Grishkot, for a balloon festi-val stunt, had the world’s largest hibachigrill built to boost publicity.

“You never knew what Walt was coming

up with next,” Halliday said.Thompson, who was guest speaker at the

Gala, talked about how in 1992 Grishkot or-ganized a presidential raft race between can-didates on Lake George, and held a tributeto U.S. soldiers named “Operation ThankYou” — a ticker-tape parade down CanadaStreet that featured the winner of a GeneralNorman Schwarzkopf look-alike contest.Thompson also mentioned Grishkot’squirkier ideas — including staging a world’slongest golf-ball drive on the surface of LakeGeorge that was listed in the 1974 edition of

Ripley’s Believe It or Not. Thompson noted that whether Grishkot

was arranging stunts or coaxing animals topose for eye-arresting publicity photos, hewas incomparable — larger than life.

Halliday, Nichols, Thompson and Joan Gr-ishkot shared tales — about how Grishkotwould circulate at tables at Nichols’ restau-rant, urging them to purchase anything onthe menu with his personal money-backguarantee — then exit the restaurant soon af-terwards. They laughed, recalling how he’dtell one person after another that they weregetting the very first Balloon Festival pin ofthe newly minted edition.

Grishkot’s most notable achievement wasco-founding the Adirondack Balloon Festi-val in Queensbury, but his heart was alwaysgrounded in Lake George, they recalled, not-ing he initiated Lake George’s “Moonglow”hot-air balloon spinoff event.

“Walt Grishkot lived and breathed LakeGeorge,” Halliday said. Thompson recalledhow Grishkot, worried about how a liquidlake might curb attendance at the 1975 Win-ter Carnival, hired Chief Swift Eagle and hisson Powhatan to conduct an “ice dance” inan effort to persuade Mother Nature tofreeze the water — and it did solidify twodays later, while attracting huge crowds dueto the resulting publicity.

Listening to their conversation, the fourtook delight in a man who was a showman,huckster, and savvy promoter — who ulti-mately embraced life with irrepressible ex-citement and wonder.

“Walt Grishkot did for Lake George whatWalt Disney did for Anaheim, California,”Halliday said.

“He loved being an ambassador for the re-gion,” Joan Grishkot responded.

Hospice care isn’t about giving up, it’sabout making a decision—a decision thatcan define how the final days of a person’slife will be lived. 

“The misconception is that hospice care isabout dying or about giving up, and it’snot,” said Ingrid Roemischer, Developmentand Outreach Coordinator of High PeaksHospice. “The patient is who we take care of.It’s still their life, it’s still their choice.”

When a doctor gives someone six monthsor less to live, they often have the option ofstaying in a hospital and receiving treat-ment. Hospice caregivers, like those whowork and volunteer for High Peaks Hospice,can offer the patient, and the patient’s fam-ily, other options.

“A lot of people want to be home their lastdays, and we help them do that,” Roemisch-er said, adding: “It’s care, it’s not a cure.”

What Roemischer means is that the pur-pose of hospice is to offer support and tomake a person’s last days as comfortable aspossible.

High Peaks Hospice staff members be-come as involved as the family, and the pa-tient, would like them to be, and will cometo a person’s home, nursing home or hospi-tal.

Staff can visit daily, or weekly, dependingon a patient’s wishes, and can perform tasksthat range from simple conversation to help-ing take care of the patient.

It’s what Roemischer refers to as the circleof care. In the center is the patient, and thenthe primary caregiver and the patient’s fam-ily. Around that is hospice, and then the doc-tor.

The bulls-eye is always the patient, the fo-cal point of all factions of hospice care, andeveryone with a diagnosis of six months orless to live is eligible.

“We do not turn people away based onage, gender, race, religion, or ability to pay,”Roemischer said.

It’s true that hospice focuses on the needs

of the patient, but they are also there for theneeds of the patient’s family.

“End of life can be very stressful for every-one involved,” Roemischer said. “Some-times, the family just needs to get away fora few hours.”

High Peaks Hospice has served more than5,600 patients and their families in Franklin,Essex and Warren counties since it wasfounded in 1986.

Even though hospice care is covered byMedicare, Medicaid, and most health man-agement organizations and private insur-ance companies, some expenses, like be-reavement and mileage reimbursement, arelargely funded by donations and communi-ty support.

High Peaks Hospice also relies heavilyupon volunteers like Frank Montbriand,who discovered hospice about five yearsago. 

Montbriand took care of his mother fortwo-and-a-half years in Hague with his sis-ter and her husband.

After his family contacted High PeaksHospice to assist in taking care of his moth-er toward the end of her life, he immediate-ly began to see the value in hospice care.

“If you go through that kind of experienceyou realize how physically, mentally andspiritually exhausting it can be,” Mont-briand said.

Montbriand’s mother died of old age inFeb. 2006, the day after her 95th birthday. Hebecame a hospice volunteer six months laterand has now worked with about 30 patients.

The work has helped Montbriand under-stand that death is a natural part of life, andthat it doesn’t necessarily have to be seen asa bad thing.

“A lot of people, when they get to the pointwhere they can’t interact well with people,when they can’t remember situations andwhen they can’t take care of themselves,they’re ready to go,” Montbriand said. “Ithink as a society we need to honor that.”

Part of honoring that is accepting that, aspeople’s bodies begin to shut down, givingthem comfort is paramount to improving

their quality of life during their final days.“We have this human desire to feed and

nurture people when they are sick, but some-times the body just doesn’t want food any-more,” Montbriand said.  ““The quality oflife issue becomes dominant. What I want forthem is a peaceful death and as much fami-ly support as possible.”

The nature of Montbriand’s volunteerismmeans he often gets to know people who areclose to death, and there are emotions in-volved in that which can be difficult to copewith.

Understanding the process of death helpshim get through it, as does allowing for timeto grieve.

“You don’t really know about dying untilyou get there,” Montbriand said. “We’re hereto go through the mourning process, too.”

Jane Turlouw is also a volunteer for HighPeaks Hospice, but she specializes in be-reavement—helping family and friends ofthe deceased go through the mourningprocess.

After taking a post graduate class calledchildren and death, Turlouw found she wasinterested in the topic and went back toschool to get a graduate degree in counsel-ing.

She has been a part of hospice care eversince.

For many grieving is a personal process,one that Turlouw approaches by only beingas involved as the people need her to be. Apart of that is letting them know that thepain they’re feeling is normal.

“You help people grieve by listening totheir story—letting them vent, letting themtalk, letting them relive the experience timeand time again,” Turlouw said. “It’s helpingthem normalize their new life, their lifewithout this partner.”

Turlouw worked in hospice in New Jerseyfor 20 years, and volunteered for High PeaksHospice after moving to the area.

It’s a term we hear bantered about inso many of the everyday things wethink and do. The term is called “po-

litically correct,” and it has become farmore than just trying to keep in step withmodern society.

Being politically correct seems to be in-vading all parts of our society. Nobodywants to be politically incorrect becausewe’ve been told it’s wrong and we’rewrong if we’re not acting, speaking oreven thinking correctly with the “main-stream” of political wisdom.

When did our political system startdictating our attitude, our way of think-ing, speaking, acting or just being our-selves? Is our political system now incomplete control of how Americans mustlive in this the land of the free? In a cul-ture that at one time prided itself on indi-vidualism, are we now being herdeddown a path of “get in step or else?”

There is a lot of talk these days aboutthe First and Second Amendment Rightsin the U.S. Constitution. Is it really politi-cians who now dictate how we must livein order to be correctly in line with theirversion American society? Have theychanged us from constituents to subjects?

Somehow I fear we’ve allowed them todivide us into two schools of thought andlabeled us Red and Blue. But why, withover 300 million people in the country,can’t we have various opinions? Are ourpolitical parties a reflection of the voters,or have the political parties divided us?And who is prospering the most from po-litical correctness?

As an example, growing up I did notcome from a gun-oriented family. We hadno guns, so I don’t have a strong bias to-ward the issue of gun ownership one wayor another. On the issue of outlawing cer-tain guns from law-abiding citizens be-cause of the actions of a few unstablepeople doesn’t make sense any more thanremoving prayer from government prop-erty and educational institutions becausea small minority claims to be offended.

That doesn’t mean I favor the senselesskilling of innocent lives any more than Ifavor the right to force anyone to worshiponly my God.

Growing up, my parents and teacherstaught me to think for myself. They werehappy to provide guidance, but I wasnever encouraged to do anything but rea-

son out myownthoughtprocess andreach aconclusionof my own.

Commonsense, basiclogic,learninghow to domy own research and recognizing rightfrom wrong was all I needed to guide meto a position. Once that position wasreached, others might try to persuade me.As an individual, you were respected fordeveloping a position, and for eitherstanding by it or being persuaded to alterthat position if you were shown whereyour information or logic was flawed.

Sadly political correctness is most re-cently from the Marxism culture datingback to World War I and World War II. Ifwe compare the basic principles of politi-cal correctness with other culturesthrough the ages, the parallels are obvi-ous. It’s a path we should not celebratebut try hard to avoid.

So why are we so quick to give ourgovernment so much control, and whyare these laws and rulings being handeddown without much public debate? Withso much information available today, wecan’t claim to be uniformed. Are we justdistracted and preoccupied, or are we be-ing asked to let down our guard and al-low others to think for us while beingdiscouraged from independent thinking?

When you consider the state of oureconomy, the ongoing stalemate takingplace in halls of government coupledwith the extravagances blooming inWashington, and the condition of radicalstates around the world, one has to won-der if we are still a fiercely independentnation, one that is ever evolving, one thatwas the envy of the world.

We should not take lightly any changesto the rights we have been given by ourforefathers, regardless of the implied in-tention of the changes.

Politically correct or bust?Adirondack Journal Editorial

The members of the New York State Legislature recently drew the ire of many resi-dents by rushing to pass a bill, a mistake that should not be repeated when itcomes to the topic of early voting.

Members of both parties are looking at an early voting bill (Assembly Bill No. 689 andSenate Bill 1461), which would allow residents of New York state to vote as early as 14days before the General Election in November and seven days before a primary election.

Something probably should be done to curb the trend of low voter turnout. We have tolook no further than the village of Keeseville, which held a vote Jan. 22 that in large partdetermined the future of the municipality. In the end, village residents voted to dissolvetheir municipality by a total of 268 votes in favor of dissolution to 176 against. The resi-dents spoke — or did they?

In total, 444 votes were cast in the matter, which can be seen as good voter turnout.However, there are 955 registered voters in the village and roughly 1,800 residents. Therewas not even a 50-percent turnout in a village vote that meant residents would never getto have another village vote.

We feel that this is a shame, that so few people cared about the fact that their way of lifewill certainly change. Whether it is for the better or for the worse is a debate that will stillbe had, but change it will, and only 46 percent of the registered voters in the town tookthe five minutes out of their lives to make their voices heard on one of the most importantvotes in the history of the village (made even more so because of the outcome). So, whilewe commend those who took to the polls, the majority of Keeseville residents should beashamed of their apathy, expecially if their vote could have changed the outcome.

The turnout for the General Election statewide in 2012 was also 46 percent, a numberwhich ranked New York as having the third lowest voter turnout in the nation.

So something is wrong and needs to be changed, and we can agree with that. Lawmak-ers are saying that they want this to be enacted for this election season, which begins withprimaries in September and the General Election Nov. 5.

In a way, it sounds a lot like the legislative push on gun violence: here’s the problem,lets fix it now, here’s an idea, passed.

On this one, the legislature needs to take a deep breath and listen to the foot soldiers,the ones who have been put in charge of the matter at the county level.

In Essex County, Democratic Commissioner to the Board of Elections Robert Pell-deChame basically called out lawmakers for what would be yet another unfunded statemandate, making counties spend more money on poll workers that would have to be setup in one of at least five early voting polling sites spread throughout the county. Addi-tional mileage would also have to be paid.

To make matters worse, bringing early voting to the state this year would give countiesan unfunded mandate that they are not even prepared for, with counties already havingspending plans for the year in place and, in the case of Essex County, having very littlewiggle room to fund a new mandate from the state.

So please, lawmakers, on this one, take a step back, look at all of the issues that comewith this decision, and not just the ones that would lead to quick passage of these bills.You’ve already done that once this year, and it didn’t work out very well for you.

Groundhog folklore is funGroundhog Day is celebrated on Feb. 2 — and many peo-

ple in the region, young and old, enjoy the quirky tradition. According to folklore, if it is cloudy when a groundhog

emerges from its burrow on this day, then spring will comeearly. If it is sunny, the groundhog will supposedly see itsshadow and retreat back into its burrow, and the winterweather will continue for six more weeks.

This logic has confused me for years, If one “sees” theirshadow it means it’s sunny out, therefore we would be hav-ing warmer weather than usual for February. And, if noshadow is seen then it would be overcast and hence havingseasonal weather for February. However, sunny conditionsgenerally indicate clear weather in winter, which routinelyis accompanied by colder temperatures.

Annually, thousands of people show up at “GobblersKnob” in Punxsutawney, Pa. to see whether PunxsutawneyPhil could see his shadow. Also, each year the topic ofgroundhog prognostication is a top internet inquiry, accord-ing to search engine data.

According to the StormFax Weather Almanac and recordskept since 1887, Punxsutawney Phil's weather predictionshave been correct 39 percent of the time.

The U.S. National Climatic Data Center asserts that thestatistics gathered for years show Punxsutawney Phil hasno predictive skill.

Well, we up here in Thurman don’t hold it against thegroundhogs.

Woolly bears and Edith BillsA better way to predict the winter in Thurman has histor-

ically been the prevailing colorations of the woolly bearcaterpillar.

Old-timers in Thurman remember that for years, Adiron-dack Journal columnist Edith Bills annually measured theblack and brown bands on the creature to predict how roughthe upcoming winter would be.

If the woolly bear caterpillar has a big brown stripe in themiddle and smaller black stripes on each end, winter will bemild. But if the creatures tend to have a small brown stripein the middle and bigger black stripes on the ends, winterwill be harsh, according to prevailing folklore.

While science indicates that the width of these bands is re-lated to the age of the caterpillar, old-timers remember wellthat Edith Bills’ predictions were most likely to prove accu-rate!

100 Years Ago - February 1913

Bad luck revisitedMrs. Susan Woodward, 75, while walking

in Warrensburgh on Mountain Avenue inWarrensburgh, on Jan. 29, 1913, in companywith Elizabeth Crandall, fell on the ice andstriking with great force on her left handbroke both bones of her arm in the wristjoint. This is the second time that the mem-ber has been broken in nearly the same place.The other wrist was also previously brokennear the joint. Mrs. Crandall assisted her tothe home of her son, J.H. Woodward on up-per Main St. where she resides.

Two years before, while suffering an at-tack of vertigo, Mrs. Woodward fell down asteep flight of stairs at the Woodward resi-dence and sustained injuries from which shehas never fully recovered. Last August, 1912,she had yet another severe fall from the pi-azza of her son’s house. She is enduring hercurrent suffering from her latest injury withgreat fortitude.

Fell head firstWilliam Austin, while driving Orson R.

Wilsey’s team on King St., Warrensburghwas seized by an attack of vertigo and fellunconscious from the wagon into the street.Otto Fish saw him fall and ran to his assis-tance. Austin was carried to his home and re-mained there unconscious for quite sometime.

Illness and trouble aboundCharles Payne of Indian Lake suffered a

stroke of paralysis and high school teacherJulia Cross has the grippe. Wilbur Perkins ofWest Stony Creek is suffering severely froma lame back.

Connie Baker of Fort Ann is staying inNorth Thurman. About two weeks ago hehad two of his fingers cut off and two othersseverely mangled in a corn-husking ma-chine.

Kenneth Duell of Horicon fell on the iceand cut his head quite badly. Mrs. Alfred Du-ell of Bolton Landing is ill with pleurisy.

George Daggett of Bolton lost a pig Jan.

27, 1913. The animal was taken sick and diedin less than an hour. Peter Baker of SouthHoricon also lost a fine pig, a serious loss tohis family.

Married and settled downRobert C. Wood, a former Warrensburgh

boy better known as Cassius, has completedtwo terms of service in the U.S. Army, sevenyears altogether, and received an honorabledischarge at Fort Sheridan, Ill., near Chica-go. Cass married during his last enlistmentand is now working as a railroad fireman inChicago.

Mild winter continuesNavigation records enduring for 80 years

have been broken on the Hudson River. Tripsof the river boats from Albany to New Yorkmarked the 288th day of the season that nav-igation was possible and broke the record of30 years. The trip later taken on Jan. 13, 1913shattered the 80-year record and the boatsare still running. Last year the closing datewas Jan. 3, 1912. (Note; Local people, feelingleery, were hoping that when the snowwould eventually come, it would not allcome all at once in a blizzard as it did on Feb.20, 1908 when 12 inches of snow fell accom-panied by damaging high winds.)

Never in the memory of our oldest resi-dents, nor has records been found, to showthat Lake George ever remained open for theentire month of January and now into Feb-ruary before this current year. (Note: in 2012,the lake didn’t freeze over for the entire win-ter, which was the first time in recent histo-ry for such an occurrence.)

Walter E. Harris of Lake George, accompa-nied by his dog, “Duffy,” made a remarkabletrip the length of Lake George to Baldwin inhis Naptha motorboat, Jan. 26, 1913 and af-ter a cigar and chat with George Loomis,made the return home.

Fort William Henry HotelUnder the new management of Albert

Thieriot, the Fort William Henry Hotel,owned by the Delaware and Hudson rail-road company, is assured of the brightestpossible future. Mr. Thieriot was for manyyears in charge of Delmonico’s restaurant in

New York City and he is considered to be thetop man in his profession as he is skilled inproviding for the wants of the fastidiouspublic.

(Note: Albert Thieriot lived in Chester-town, in a house still standing on what is to-day Thieriot Avenue, with his wife, PhebeWatson, a native of Warrensburgh. Her fa-ther, Godfrey T. Watson, owned a grocerystore in the building that now houses theAlexander-Baker funeral home. A well-loved man of indomitable energy, Thieriotserved for many years as executor andtrustee of the Rosa Delmonico estate. Hedied of the after-effects of pneumonia in1915 at home in Chestertown.)

No ice fishing on Lake GeorgeFishing through the ice on Lake George,

known as “Old Horicon” by locals, is a thingof the past under the state’s new uniformfish and game law. The law prohibits fishingthrough the ice for brook, rainbow, red, spot-ted and brown trout which were plantedthere years ago by the former culturist A.N.Cheney where they are continuing to thrive.

Heretofore an exception has been made infavor of those who wanted to fish for perch,of which the lake once boasted some of thefinest in the country and hundreds ofpounds were taken out each winter and theyalways found a ready market. Complaintwas made by the cottagers that this form ofwinter fishing so cleaned up the lake that itwas impossible to get a mess of yellow perchduring several seasons past, although theywere formerly one of the most plentiful ofsummer fishes. (Note: Because he was be-sieged with complaints about this new lawfrom area residents, state Sen. James A.Emerson of Warrensburgh used his consid-erable influence in Albany to pressure thestate conservation officer to rescind this newlaw for the winter of 1913, both in LakeGeorge and Schroon Lake and to not allowGame Protector Burnett to prosecute or “mo-lest” and person who indulged in this sort offishing.)

This law would have forced the FortWilliam Henry Hotel to stop advertising“comfortable” ice fishing for their guests as

the hotel had made plans to set up manyfishing huts with heaters, tip-ups and holesin the ice and so far this season they have notyet done so because of the unusual winterweather which has caused only six inches ofice to form on the lake. The ice races on LakeGeorge have been postponed until Feb. 18,1913.

News roundaboutAccording to the almanac there will be five

eclipses this year, three of the sun and twoof the moon.

On Jan. 11, 1913 the first sedan-type auto-mobile, a Hudson, went on display at the13th Annual Auto Show in New York City.

On Feb. 25, 1913 an amendment was rati-fied authorizing income tax. It will take ef-fect March 1, 1913.

The new American rage for young and oldis the insertion of a prize in a Cracker Jackbox for the first time.

“Babe” Ruth, the up-and-coming youngbaseball player, celebrated his 18th birthdayon Feb. 6, 1913 and is looking forward togood things to come his way. (George Her-man Ruth, known as the most famous play-er in baseball history, was signed up the nextyear by the minor-league Baltimore Orioles.He died in 1948.)

James Shannahan is seriously ill at hishome on the Thurman Road known at “Cat’sCorners.” (Note: This area, directly on theeast end of the Thurman Bridge, is some-times also called “Katz’s Corners and manywonder about the name’s origin. Call me at623-2210 if you have any information.)

F.W. Hall, who has associated with EdsonGranger in the Warrensburgh AutomobileGarage on lower Main St., has moved hisfamily here from Granville and is occupyingWalter Pasco’s tenant house adjoining theBaptist Church on the corner of Main St. andMountain Avenue.

Supervisor Fred Rogers of North Creekhas just butchered a pig that weighed 650pounds dressed. Will Harris of Athol shot asilver gray fox.

At the turn of the twentieth century, the Pebloe Hotel was one of Brant Lake’s predominant resorts. In 1903 Philetus Smith bought the Homer Davis property on the shore of Brant Lake. He then purchased a hotel located at the Tannery and moved it to the new lot, naming it The Pebloe Hotel. In 1905, an ad in the New York Tribune stated- “The Pebloe on Brant Lake - new, modern and up to date, in the fi shing and hunting country”. The down-state guests arrived by train to Riparius and then by horse and carriage to the hotel. At the time, the Pebloe accom-modated more than 200 people with some staying the entire summer.

The hotel was eventually bought by Dell and Ann Pasco. In 1964, In less than an hour, the hotel was burned by 5 local fi re companies during a mutual aid drill. The land was cleared to make way for new cottages. An associa-tion named Chippewa was formed, named after Native Americans who had camped at Brant Lake.

Thurman EMS to close To the Adirondack Jour-

nal:It has been said that you

can't fight "city hall," Well,we tried, and we lost.

In fact the entire commu-nity of Thurman has lost.They have lost their right toprotection by their local gov-ernment.

Money, power, and controlhave been put before thesafety of the residents —and this by the County Safe-ty Officer (also known as theThurman Town Supervisor).

For at least two years now,the squad has been pleadingwith the Town of Thurmanfor financial aid. Many resi-dents have come forth withcash donations, probablymore than some could af-ford. They have tried tohelp. Many have gone to theTown Board meetings toplead with the Board to finda way to keep the localsquad. But they found theirconcern fell on deaf ears.

It appeared obvious thatthe Town Board had no de-sire to help the squad. Manyviable suggestions were putforth, only to be ignored. Atone such meeting the squadPresident asked what wouldthe town do for its residentsif the squad closed.

The response from theTown Supervisor was “....Wewill have other options toexplore." When questionedas to what those other op-tions were, there was no re-sponse; just a blank stare.

Well, we have discoveredwhat those "options" are.And unfortunately I refuseto jeopardize myself and thesquad by relaying that infor-mation.

Consequently, the squadwill officially close its doorsin the very near future. Weare in the process of filing allnecessary papers with thevarious state and local enti-ties. Once all of these havebeen approved we will offi-cially close.

At this time the entiresquad wishes to thank allwho have supported usthroughout these tryingtimes. We are aware thatmany gave much, and we are

eternally grateful. It is avery sad day for all.

We have been honored tobe there for you in your timeof need. And thankful foryour being there in our timeof need.

May God bless you all. Respectfully and sadly —

for the entire squad, Jean F. Coulard,

President, ThurmanEMS, Inc.

Agrees with gun control editorial

To the Adirondack Jour-nal:

Excellent editorial regard-ing the new gun laws thatwere rammed through. Thegovernor is first and fore-most a politician with hissights on the White House(as if the current presidentisn't liberal enough). Theselaws are nothing more than apublicity stunt and will notaccomplish the stated goal ofreducing gun violence. Afterall, DWI, rape, theft, etc. areall illegal and that doesn'tseem to matter to those in-tent on breaking the law.Kudos to Dan Stec and BettyLittle for voting against this.

John KearneyLake George

Casinos in L. G. wouldtransform village

To the Adirondack Jour-nal:

Here’s my new LakeGeorge proposal:

Two new casinos will openin Lake George. Competitionis always a good thing. Onewill be at Roaring BrookRanch and other will be atthe top of Prospect Moun-tain. The two will be con-nected by a monorail thatwill also connect to down-town Lake George, formallyknown as the Village.

The west side of CanadaStreet will now be home tonumerous "speak easy" es-tablishments, sort of on theline of New Orleans. Thesidewalks are wide enoughto handle to flow of drunkenpatrons — so the local zon-ing steering committee willnot need to worry about pro-moting foot traffic.

All brothels will be behind

the six- and eight-storybuildings on the west side ofthe street. Amber lightingwill indicate a house of ill re-pute. The amber lightingwill give an Adirondack feelunlike the bright red lightsin most red-light districts.Also, nice curtains must beon the windows, as to not goagainst the mayor ’s requestfor boarding up vacant-look-ing storefronts.

Also, all former, currentand future elected officialswill be entitled to a 24.6%discount at theses establish-ments — It’s always good tothrow in a little pork in thesedeals.

The festival area at thenew West Brook Park willnow become two parkinggarages. One will be forfamilies and the other will befor the rest of the people.

All "working girls" are tobe off the street while stu-dents are being dropped offor picked up at school. Fish-net stockings are against thelaw during daylight hours —on not only women but men.These are ideas I got when Iwent to Hamburg, Germany.These restrictions reported-ly work well there.

Lake George’s downtowncourthouse will once againbecome a real courthouse be-cause we will need it with allthe crime that accompaniescasinos. Also, one of thenearby hotels will be con-verted into a jail.

Some of the existing hotelswill be converted into low-income housing for workersat the two casinos. Thesemust be close to the localschools, because we won't beable to afford to bus all of themigrant workers‘ kids toschool.

The local Zoning Board,Planning Board and CodeEnforcement Agency forboth the Village and Town ofLake George will be com-bined to save taxpayersmoney. Since both haveproven to be useless, after ayear they will disband. Abetter system known as TheWizard will be implement-ed. You will go before him,and he will decide. We willneed a Wizard, but most cur-

rently elected officials arequalified to serve in the role.

In year or two, a new Wal-mart will open in town. Thismay be connected to themonorail, but we are notsure at this time.

‘New World Order’ athreat to gun rights

To the Adirondack Jour-nal:

With all the hype, out-right lies about guns andgun control, there’s not oneword uttered about why thegovernment wants guns re-moved from the hands oflaw-abiding citizens.

It’s not about stoppingcrime or making little John-nys and Suzies safer in thegun-free school killingzones.

No, it’s called “The NewWorld Order.”

But armed citizens cannotbe enslaved by the UnitedNations “New World Or-der.”

Think about what hap-pens when the U.S. Consti-tution and the Bill of Rightsare banned. Have you everread Hitler ’s 1938 gun con-trol act and the U.S. 1968 guncontrol act? Almost identi-cal, word-for-word!

Look at the millions of dis-armed citizens butcheredworldwide — which, foryour information, is still go-ing on.

Those that beat theirweapons into plows, willplow for those that don’t.

Early votingfrom page 1

Three to four computerized machines and supplies of 19ballots styles would have to be available in quantity at allfive locations, which would have to be staffed with 20 in-spectors total. Once any sealed ballot package of 50 wereopened, the remainder of the ballots in the package wouldhave to be destroyed. Such state mandates already in placecost the county taxpayers $110,000 or more per year — with-out the additional early voting.

Each station would have to be equipped with a special-ized ballot marking device to accommodate those withphysical challenges, with an inspector trained to instructothers in their use, she continued.

“Heaven knows where we’d get the election inspectorswe’d need,” she said.

The mandates to daily pre-test, prepare and secure themachines would also be burdensome, she said, noting thatit might be impossible to meet the security requirementswithout transporting the machines daily to and from thecounty Municipal Center. Casey said the early voting, if en-acted, would cost local taxpayers tens of thousands of dol-lars per election.

Casey said she supported the concept of early voting —because it encourages more people to vote — but it shouldbe accomplished through the existing system in place for ab-sentee voting.

The absentee regulations — now providing only for thoseout-of-the area, physically challenged, or in jail — wouldhave to be expanded to include those merely seeking to voteat their convenience.

She said the absentee system works well, features tight se-curity and was inexpensive. She noted that the county han-dled 3,500 absentee ballots this last election.

Casey said that expanding voting opportunities made themost sense in New York City, where only 46 percent voterturnout occurred this past election. Warren County voterstallied a 70 percent turnout, she said.

In response to Casey’s pleas, the county supervisors vot-ed unanimously to draft a resolution and send it to state leg-islators and Gov. Cuomo.

Queensbury at-large Supervisor Bill Mason said the ear-ly voting proposal was ineffective and impractical.

“This is yet another unfunded mandate that may bejammed down our throats,” he said.

In Essex County, the county’s two elections commission-ers made a similar plea Jan. 14 to supervisors attending thePublic Safety Committee meeting.

squad is falling by the wayside,” shesaid. “We’ve done what we can — andthe town board’s been so unresponsive— but you can’t fight city hall.”

Coulard said that Thurman EMSwould likely stop operating entirely ina matter of days. She said that in themeantime, ambulance calls would beanswered only if a qualified volunteerstaff member was in the station or near-by. For much of Tuesday, the stationwas unmanned.

“If a driver and an EMT is there we’llrespond — it will be hit-and-miss —but 70 to 80 percent of the time, we’renot now staffed to respond,” she said.“Warrensburg EMS will have to pickup our calls — it’s a sad situation, con-sidering the extra time it takes them toget up here.”

Robert Farrell, the Board of DirectorsChairman of Warrensburg EmergencyMedical Services, said officials of hisagency have been talking with Thur-man squad officers recently about thepossibility of acquiring the assets ofthe Thurman squad — their relativelynew ambulance, EMS equipment andtheir squad building on High St.

Theoretically, the Warrensburgsquad could set up a satellite station inThurman and keep it manned aroundthe clock, he said. But such a scenariowould most likely require a financialstipend from the town, considering thelow number of calls in Thurman andthe expenses involved in staffing thestation and paying for the required ex-tensive training. Also, he noted that thetownspeople were used to a free serv-ice.

“If the town board didn’t want togive us anything, it would crimp ourability to answer calls up there,” Far-rell said. “We’re short of money as itis.”

Tuesday, Jan. 29, Warren County Di-rector of Emergency Services BrianLaFlure said he knew of Thurman EMS’

financial troubles, but he hadn’t heardthey were shutting down.

“I wish they could have made a go ofit, but they don’t have enough runs tobreak even,” he said. “It’s too bad.”

Farrell and LaFlure said that withthe equipment, training and staffingnecessary for a modern ambulancesquad to provide the advanced lifesupport services people expect, agen-cies that have few calls are bound tohave financial troubles.

Thurman EMS responds to about 100calls per year, and Warrensburg EMSresponds to approximately 1,100.

Farrell noted that in Thurman, theservice has been traditionally provid-ed at no cost to the residents, whichcrimps finances. Farrell said that with-out subsidy, the amount received frombilling patients would hardly pay forthe gasoline to send ambulances out —let alone paid qualified staffing.

Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Russellsaid Tuesday afternoon that she hadn’theard that Thurman EMS was pursuingplans to dissolve.

“It’s admirable that the Thurmansquad has done as well as they have foryears,” she said. “But with all the staterequirements, it’s difficult for a squadto get by anymore.”

She said the board’s decision towithdraw support had been difficult.

“We wholeheartedly support havingEMS services in town — Public safetyis of paramount importance, and wehave nothing but respect for the squadmembers — but the financial times aretight. We couldn’t afford what theywere asking.”

Thurman EMS officers had recentlyrequested operating subsidy from thetown, at various times, representingsums ranging from $30,000 to $115,000annually.

Wood said the town taxpayers werealready burdened with hefty employeeretirement increases which pushed thetown budget to the maximum underthe tax cap — without any subsidy tothe squad.

In mid-November, the squad asked

for $75,000 from the town, banking onraising $40,000 to $50,00 in donationsfrom the town’s 350 or so households.Wood had said the $75,000 sum wouldrepresent a 20 percent tax increase,which taxpayers couldn’t afford.

In 2012, the town allocated $27,315towards the EMS agency’s operations,and the prior year, the sum was$33,468.

In various town board meetings,quite a few citizens have requestedpassionately for public support forThurman EMS, citing how its quick re-sponse times were vital to public safe-ty. Ambulances from Warrensburg cantake 10 to 20 minutes longer to arrivethan the local squad. Others are con-cerned about rising taxes.

Coulard estimated that ThurmanEMS’ squad building — appraised sev-eral years ago at $300,000, might beworth about $200,000 now. Theagency’s ambulance, she added, wasjust recently paid off. She said it wasworth $78,000.

“Our building was built by squadmembers’ labor about 12 years ago forabout $57,000,” she said. Coulard con-tinued that in the squad’s dissolution,its assets would be substantiallygreater than its liabilities.

Farrell said that the Warrensburgsquad has interest in acquiring thebuilding, because it would be key toproviding an efficient satellite locationfor their operations. Warrensburg EMSalso could use Thurman’s ambulance,he added, because Warrensburg EMShas an urgent need for another — theynow have one ambulance in top shape,one in marginal condition and one un-usable.

“If we take on the building, we’dhave to have support from the town —but less than would be necessary for afull independent service,” Farrell said.“At the moment, we’re ready to dowhat we can to protect public safety inThurman. But we can’t keep doing thisfor an extended time without financialsupport.”

OBITUARIES

Winter Carnivalfrom page 1

The thick ice will serve as a sturdy platform for the NorthEast Snow X series Carnival Cup race that will debut onFeb. 9 and 10. The races will be like the X Games for snow-mobiles. Race will begin off West Brook Road at the formerGaslight Village site. Registration will begin at 9 a.m.

The infamous outhouse races attracted a large followingat last year ’s festivities with the attraction drawing thecameras from the Discovery Channel. Cameras were fol-lowing the story of a local man creating the faux-outhousecreations to be pulled across the ice. Nichols said this yearwill be no different, with many people flocking to the ice tosee what outdoor concoctions people will race this year.Those interested in participating in the outhouse run canregister at Duffy’s Tavern or by calling 668-5323.

The various other ice-top events and races on Feb. 16 and17 will be the New York State AMA sanctioned Motorcycleand ATV Ice Race Championship and the ATV Poker/Scav-enger hunt and kite flying on the ice.

Car races on the ice are scheduled for the Carnival’s fi-nal weekend, Feb. 23 and 24.

New this year, there will be a doggy talent contest, “YourDog’s Got Talent!” Nichols said that the competition is opento any special canine friend with a talent to share. The com-petitions will be held every weekend day at 2:30 p.m. atShephard Park.

During all of the weekends, there will be helicopter rideswith tethered hot-air balloon rides. Tubby Tubes Giant Tub-ing slide will be open at Shephard Park. Children’s activi-ties will be held both Saturday and Sunday. The snowmo-bile water skip will be held a 2:30 p.m. every weekend day.

A full schedule of events can be found at www.lakege-orgewintercarnival.com.
