With 2011 wrapped up,it’s a good time to look backat the year and review thehighlights of news in War-rensburg.

While neighboring com-munities were pummeled bydisastrous storms and expe-rienced high-profile crimesand vehicle crashes, War-rensburg had more sedatenews.

WCS Dance Marathon Warrensburg High School

held its first DanceMarathon Jan. 19, and it wasa fun evening as well as rais-ing $7,500 for various chari-ties, including the NorthCountry Hardship Fund,High Peaks Hospice,Cindy’s Comfort Camp,Mito Hope & Help, and theBen Osborne MemorialFund.

On Jan. 14 this comingyear, the second annualdance marathon will takeplace. The committee is nowselecting recipients as re-quests are received. To makea cash donation, readersmay send checks to theschool.

Warrensburg SchoolDistrict pressures

The Warrensburg CentralSchool District faced a finan-cial squeeze, as substantialstate aid reductions prompt-ed budget cuts locally. Ini-

tially, at risk were severalcritical instructional posi-tions serving students withspecial needs, as well as Jun-ior Varsity sports and thesummer school program.For the first time since thenew school was built morethan 15 years ago, schoolboard members and local cit-izens talked about consoli-dating all the local schoolson one campus.

Most of the cuts were scut-tled, but the budget squeezecontinues for 2012.

This year also brought usthe surprise resignation ofschool board member JamesCarrion, prompting a specialelection in October, with Di-ane Angell of Thurman de-feating Patrick Powers forthe seat. Out of about 4,000registered voters, only 551turned out to cast ballots.

Milton Ave. Bridge The new Milton Avenue

Bridge, a vital link betweenWestern Warrensburg andThurman was opened to thepublic in mid-July. The stur-dy steel-truss bridge, de-signed to resemble historicspans, carries two lanesacross the Schroon Riverrather than one as did itspredecessor — the WoolenMill bridge, erected in thelate 1800s. The former spanwas closed down in April1998 due to safety concerns.

The new bridge was hailedby many as not only a con-venience but a boost to localenterprises on River St.

Business changes Concluding a lengthy,

passionate debate overwhether the store would in-trude into a historic neigh-borhood, a modern spaciousStewart’s Shop conveniencestore opened on Stewart Far-rar Avenue, relocated fromlower Main St.

The company’s plans tobuild their new storeprompted competing Cum-berland Farms to rebuildtheir own shop, one blocksouth on Main St., nearlydoubling its size in theprocess.

New Way Lunch opened anew short-order restauranton Main St. in Warrensburgnext to the former Stewart's.They bought the historicPotter ’s Diner and totallyrenovated it as a new outletfor their signature entree,hot dogs smothered in meatsauce and onions. From thefirst day forward, the eateryhas enjoyed substantial pop-ularity.

Also opening this yearwas Rebecca’s Florist &Country Store on lowerMain St., featuring her imag-inative creations in homedecor.

The landmark local salonHeidi’s Clip Joint moveddownstreet into a spaciousnew shop, and DeeDee Ack-ley Roach and Ruth Kenyon— formerly with Heidi’s —opened up the Cutting Crewin the Clip Joint’s longtimelocation downtown.

The Smoke Shop openedwhere Posies flower shop

and the Warrensburg Fruitmarket used to operate onMain St.

In recent weeks, SarahMonroe opened a cafe/bicy-cle shop and a beauty salonat 3897 Main St. in the for-mer Maltbie Chrysler build-ing on upper Main St. Thelatter is named Groom Sa-lon, and the other dual en-terprise, called Grind ‘NGears, offers organic gour-met coffee and sandwicheswith healthy ingredients.

The continuing develop-ment of new stores offersgood news for the communi-ty, as the trend indicates thatlocal commerce is on the up-swing.

Earlier this year, a devel-opment group unveiledplans to host a supermarketjust south of Oscar ’s SmokeHouse, but apparently theseplans are in limbo as planshave advanced to locate anew Price Chopper justsouth of Warrensburg atNorthway Exit 23.

These plans have local of-ficials worried about the fateof Grand Union, which hasbeen a busy commercial fo-cus in town. Warrensburg of-ficials are concerned aboutthe effect on the local econo-my if Grand Union were todepart, leaving an emptyshopette.

Voters ask for changeAlso making local head-

lines this year was the unex-pected ouster of long-timeincumbent WarrensburgTown Board membersAustin Markey and DeanAckley. They were defeatedby Linda Baker Marcella andJoyce Reed, who cam-paigned for renewed

progress in town as well asending the perk of freehealth insurance for townboard members who servedfor 10 years or more.

Markey and Ackley can beassured that Warrensburgresidents appreciate theirservice through many years.The new council memberswill be sworn in at 6 p.m.Jan. 3 during the town’s an-nual organizational meet-ing.

Events enjoy successChilly weather and inter-

mittent rain didn’t detercrowds from attending theannual World’s LargestGarage Sale the first week-end in October. Vendors whosold soup, chili and hotchocolate did quite well, andthe 250 or so other conces-sions fared well too, as didthe homeowners throughtown who held yard andgarage sales.

Later in October, the sec-ond annual Cancer SucksWalk held by the Nemecfamily and friends to honorthe late George Nemec net-ted $3,500 in donations tothe Cancer Center at GlensFalls Hospital.

On Oct. 8, an event titled“Historical Hauntings —Ghosts of WarrensburgTour” was conducted byMaria Ligon and Sally Fei-hel, who talked of suspectedparanormal activity at vari-ous local sites. Destinationsfor the well-attended tour ofbuildings included the War-rensburgh Museum of LocalHistory, Grace’s Restaurant,Emerson House Bed andBreakfast and the Warrens-burg Senior Center.

The last dinner likely to be

held at Grace’s Restaurantwas on Oct. 23 when the lo-cal landmark hosted theWarrensburg Historical So-ciety’s annual Dinner withthe Dead event, featuringlocal actors portraying citi-zens prominent in thetown’s history.

Several of the many at-tending expressed sorrowover the news that Grace'sRestaurant was closing, like-ly not for just the season, butpermanently.

This historic estate, in abygone era a home to a oneof the community’s nota-bles, is now up for sale.

The Warrensburg Muse-um of Local History had abanner year with record at-tendance — and the most ex-tensive roster of exhibitsever. Supplementing themuseum’s display of ongo-ing artifacts and photos, thespecial exhibits included lo-cal stock car racing, localsports and recreation, localdoll collections, and a selec-tion of handmade quilts.

RIPARIUS — Local youth and adults col-laborated with the Saratoga & North CreekRailway recently to decorate train stationswith festive lights to greet the visitors rid-ing the snow trains which begin their runsFriday, Dec. 30.

The effort was part of the First WildernessHeritage Corridor Project coordinated byPam Morin of the Warren County PlanningDepartment.

With the help of citizens along the “railtrail,” each station or platform is decoratedin different themes. The Hadley and Ripar-ius platforms are decorated in a manner thatexpresses “Thank You” to U.S. soldiers serv-ing overseas, Morin said this week.

At the historic Riparius Station, the Townof Chester Parks and Recreation crew led byJohn West installed holiday lights that out-line the building’s roof. The lights are com-plemented by 20 red-ribboned wreaths. Thelights, wreaths and a Christmas tree fromPereau’s Tree Farm on Starbuck Hill inChestertown were donated by individuals

and businesses of the North Warren Cham-ber of Commerce.

Decorating the tree were members of BoyScout Troop 30 in Chestertown. The scoutswere assisted by American Legion Post 964official Joe Slattery, of Chestertown, who isa troop volunteer. Scouts that took part inthe decorating include Will Jennings, JacobSmit, Dylan Baker, Joey Foley, Trey Red-mond and Ethan Fiorino.

The “Welcome Home Soldier” theme ismeant to be a gesture of appreciation forservice men and women who have servedand to those who are still active, Morin said.

The names of soldiers from the North War-ren area who’ve served in Iraq andAfghanistan were inscribed on tree orna-ments and placed on a tree at the Ripariusstation. Anyone wishing to place additionalornaments bearing other soldiers’ namesmay do so, Morin said.

The North Country Ski and Snow Traincontinues through March. More train infor-mation is available at www.sncrr.com.

LAKE GEORGE — In the interest of boosting tourism indowntown Lake George, the village board recently voted toallow public snowmobile parking during the winter monthson the former Gaslight Village property — the festival areaof the West Brook Environmental Park.

At the board’s special meeting held Dec. 19, Mayor RobertBlais said that last winter a considerable number of snow-mobiles had been parking at various places substantial dis-tances from downtown, and allowing parking in the festivalarea would encourage sled riders to patronize village busi-nesses. The parking approval includes allowing snowmobiletrailers.

Blais said that representatives of area snowmobile clubshad reported that the outlying sled parking areas were rou-tinely full.

Also, the board approved reimbursement of the WarrenCounty Department of Public Works for materials and laborfor improvements to the north parcel of the West Brook landsfor a parking lot. Plus, they voted to authorize Elan Plan-ning and Design of Saratoga Springs to prepare grant appli-cations relating to the festival space.

The board voted to turn over historic photographs,posters, and leaflets found during the demolition of GaslightVillage buildings to the Warren County Historical Society —with the assurance that the local historians have first privi-leges to the materials.

Blais said the county Historical Society is planning a dis-

play of the materials found at Gaslight for an appropriatesite in the village.

Blais also said he was looking forward to working with the

incoming town administration, which represents a new ma-jority on the town board — Supervisor-elect Dennis Dickin-son and board members Marisa Muratori and Dan Hurley.Muratori, who served several terms on the village board,was present for the village board meeting.

Blais said the village board might likewise be routinelysending a village trustee to the town board meetings to boostinter-municipal communication and cooperation.

He noted that to start off 2012 in this spirit, a joint town-village board meeting would be held in early January.

In other business, the board approved allowing the LakeGeorge Music Festival to use the Shepard Park Amphithe-ater for a free orchestral concert on Aug. 23 — a presenta-tion, complete with fireworks, that wraps up their week-long series of classical chamber music concerts in villagechurches.

The board also approved an agreement to work with theLake George Park Commission on a project that is intendedto solve a stormwater buildup problem on Sewell Street.

Additionally, the trustees approved the induction of threenew firefighters into the Lake George Fire Department:Matthew Oswald, Dennis Mitchell, and Kenneth Miller. Theapproval is pending satisfactory physical examinations.

Also, Blais announced that the Special Olympics NY Po-lar Plunge held Nov. 19 at Shepard Park raised $72,000 forthe organization.

A proposed local law regulating LED and digital signs wastabled so trustees could review and evaluate the opinions ofexperts on the law’s provisions including square footage re-strictions.

Snowmobilers get new privilege in Lake George

A pair of snowmobile riders skim across Lake George during 2010 dur-ing the Lake George Winter Carnival, which annually attracts hundredsof sled enthusiasts in February. The Lake George Village Board votedDec. 19 to establish snowmobile parking at the former Gaslight Villagesite during all the winter months so more snowmobilers will be attract-ed to downtown Lake George.

QUEENSBURY — Embattled WarrenCounty Social Services CommissionerSheila Weaver, accused of illegally apply-ing for welfare benefits for her boyfriend,will be paid her $79,184 salary throughMay — despite the fact she hasn't beenworking in her county post since she wasarrested Aug. 5. The stipend is part of aplea deal that calls for her to resign Jan. 18and eventually be cleared of all criminalcharges if she stays out of trouble.

The Warren County Board of Supervisorsvoted unanimously Thursday Dec. 22 toapprove the plea deal. She had beencharged with Official Misconduct, twofelony counts of second-degree Forgery,and two counts of second-degree Offeringa False Instrument for Filing.

Just days after her arrest on thesecharges, she filed a discrimination com-plaint with the state Human Rights Divi-sion, accusing the county of discriminatingagainst her because of her claimed NativeAmerican heritage.

The plea agreement approved Dec. 22calls for her to abandon this complaint andbars her from any other legal action againstthe county concerning her employment – inexchange for an Adjournment in Contem-plation of Dismissal on the criminalcharges.

Franklin County District Attorney DerekChampagne, who is prosecuting the crimi-nal charges against Weaver, said this weekhe had offered the six-month adjournmentbecause the case was weak.

In the plea deal, Weaver admitted underoath Dec. 19 that she had violated the coun-ty Department of Social Services policy andCode of Ethics by acting as Michael Hes-ter's representative on his application forpublic assistance while she was serving ascommissioner.

County Board of Supervisors ChairmanDan Stec said he was anticipating publiccriticism of the deal. By the week’s end,there were various critical comments post-ed on the Internet.

I know people are frustrated we've beenpaying someone to not work,” Stec said.“But a settlement like this removes the un-certainty — We're trying to do the best wecan to represent the interests of the citizensof our county.”

Stec said that without the settlementagreement, the county could lose the caseand face financial liability.

He said the extensive provisions of theplea deal, including the extension of herpay through May, were partially due to thestate's legal protections granted to com-missioners. By this summer, Weaver willhave been paid about $59,000 in salarywhile she was not working for the county.

He said that the legal process, which in-cluded hearings on her conduct, had to befollowed.

“There is a process in place for govern-ment to act, and that process takes time,”he said.

Stec added that the situation with Weav-er demonstrated the need for a more thor-ough vetting process in hiring county com-missioners.

The allegations against Weaver and herarrest came as a shock to county leaders be-cause Weaver had played a key role in root-ing out fraudulent welfare applications, in-stituted new standards for employees, andworked to slash costs and consolidate thebureaucracy of the Social Services Depart-ment. In doing so, she irritated many of thedepartment employees.

Kevin Conine, the investigator she andcounty District Attorney Kate Hogan put inplace to root out welfare fraud, arrestedWeaver on Aug. 5. Weaver has been Com-missioner of Social Services for 2 & 1/2years.

At the time of Weaver ’s arrest, formerDeputy Commissioner Suzanne Wheelerwas named acting Commissioner of SocialServices, and she remains today in thatpost. County Supervisors have yet to nameWeaver ’s permanent replacement, butmany assume that it will be Wheeler.

County Attorney Martin Auffredou saidDec. 22 the plea deal made sense under thecircumstances.

Adirondack Journal Editorial

For our New Year ’s Eve edition,we’d rather focus less on theterm “resolution” and more on

the term “hope” when looking ahead to2012.

First of all, we hope politicians canwork together more to accomplish thegreater good, not just in this area butthroughout the country.

This statement probably caused youto do a spit-take with your hot choco-late or beverage of choice, but hear usout. In Essex County, the supervisorsdid just that, approving a budget thatwas rich in compromise.

At the end of the process, each of the18 town administrators came away withsomething that they liked about thebudget, but also came away from thetable frustrated. A lot of times, theirfrustration came from different sides ofthe same coin. Some were frustrated thetax levy increase did not meet thestate’s 2 percent cap, and others wereupset the levy was too low. Some wereupset that 10 positions had to be cutright after the holidays, and others wereupset there were not more layoffs.

There were no temporary Band-Aidfixes until the political winds shift. Itwas compromise.

Congressman Bill Owens recently saidhe feels 2012 is going to be a terribleyear in Washington, D.C. and nothingwill get done because it is an electionyear with both sides of the aisle lookingto blame each other.

We all know that is the truth. But arewe just going to take it? If that truly isthe motivation of our politicians, thenthe message needs to be sent that wewant someone in office who is lookingout for us, not their personal party in-terests.

With the upcoming election, we alsohope that people will go to the pollsand make an informed decision. Don’tjust roll with the “what’s happeningright now” mentality and look at candi-dates for local, state and federal posi-tions, including president, as a whole.Each candidate will have pros and cons.

What the informed voter does is weighthose options in total and then decidewho they feel best represents their in-terests in government.

It seems that people want to have an“American Idol” conclusion to the pres-idential race, bringing a candidate upjust to find out how fast they can chopthem down. It has been done with eachof the front-runners in the RepublicanParty (obviously not on the Democraticside because they have the incumbent,but it would be if the field were open).When a candidate is shown to haveweakness, it is almost as if that candi-date has been “voted off” as a presiden-tial hopeful. The sound bite has becomemore important than the platform, andthat should not be the case.

Our next hope is for a safe and happyyear ahead. While 2011 had many shin-ing moments, it was also a year whenthe region saw massive spring flooding,only to be followed by a tropical stormthat battered the region and left manyproperties and lives damaged. Some, in-cluding Essex County Board of Supervi-sors Chairman Randall “Randy” Dou-glas, are concerned that a new yearcould bring more problems, and wehope that is not the case.

Our final hope is that the steps takenby the North Country Regional Econom-ic Development Council and the statewill start to turn the economy around.For a region that does not have a lot oftrust in the name, the honeymoon peri-od between it and Gov. Andrew Cuomohas appeared to extend throughout hisfirst year in office. Cuomo has shown aconcern for all parts of the state and hasbuilt trust with North Country dele-gates, which is something we hope willcontinue into the next year.

Happy New Year.

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].

Let 2012 be about ‘hope’ Well it’s that timeof year when wereflect on the ac-

complishments of the pastyear and set our goals forthe coming New Year. As afree community newspaperpublishing organization theeconomy still casts a largeshadow over all we do. Overthe last few years as manynewspaper organizationsundergo changes as a resultof the weak economy, we’vereceived more and more reader and adver-tiser encouragement to step up our newscoverage in both the quality and quantityof our reporting. Distributing to over66,000 homes each week in the NorthCountry region, combined we are thelargest print product covering the region.

We feel confident that while we’ve takensteps in the right direction, we still havemuch to accomplish. Our ability to do sois in direct relationship to the support wereceive from the community. Our tri-podbusiness model is a simple one to under-stand; Denton Publications provides thelocal news and free distribution to thereaders, local businesses support our ef-forts with paid advertising, and the localreaders support those local businesses bypurchasing their products and services. Byusing that simple formula we all win andcan avoid charging readers to receive thenews we provide. The more support ouradvertisers realize from their support ofour newspapers, the more extensive ournews reporting can be.

Our overall sales were up in 2011 thanksin big part to the production of the LakeChamplain Bridge Commemorative Book-let. But unfortunately our cost increasescontinued to outpace income growth forthe third year in a row with the usual cul-prits at the root of the increases: personnelrelated costs, paper, printing plates andpostage. Despite the urge to trim expens-es, we believe strongly that this is not thetime to cut cost but instead to invest inour future. We continue to look for waysto build the staff, improve their benefitsand invest in the technology and equip-ment that will allow us to grow and runan efficient publishing company. Coastingnor putting our head in the sand are op-tions we will not consider. This economyrequires our best efforts.

During 2011 we laid thefoundation to our DigitalMain Street, which com-bined 28 web sites from theNorth Country region acrossto Vermont, south to theCapital District and west toCentral New York. In 2012we’ll be inviting other inde-pendent publishes to joinour network combining theirlocal efforts to provide digi-tal user a common naviga-tion design as they searchfor news and information

from area to area. Each entity will have itsown URL and individual identity, but willuse a common design and be clustered to-gether, much like a downtown or mallshopping experience. Community news,features and events will create the criticalmass needed to attract viewers fromaround the globe.

We see the creation of the Digital MainStreet in the same manner in which weprovide printing and delivery services formany independent publishers. By assist-ing these independent companies we’vebeen able to expand our press line from 5printing units with one output in the late1980’s to 17 printing units with the capa-bility of producing two products simulta-neously. By pooling our resources we canoffer services not generally available tosmall companies.

While digital and mobile growth trendscontinue to grow, we recognize there isstill much value in the printed product.Next month we’ll be increasing our insert-ing capabilities with the installation of oursecond inserting machine, further advanc-ing our production capabilities with aneight into one product, complete withinkjet addressing capabilities to compli-ment our five into one current productionunit.

This week we’ll be rolling out a newelectronic tear sheet program. Advertiserswho currently wait for month’s end to re-ceive a mailing of the individual newspa-per pages that their ads appeared on willnow receive those tear sheet pages elec-tronically every week immediately uponpublication. Advertising customers willnow have complete access to every ad theyrun from this point forward, all complete-ly searchable and free of any additional

QUEENSBURY — Fire-wood that Warren Countyhad stockpiled to help lowincome homeowners heattheir homes — but ended updecaying — will now be do-nated to a local charity todistribute to those in need.

On Dec. 22, the WarrenCounty Board of Supervi-sors voted unanimously togive the wood to NorthCountry Ministry, whosefounder Brother James Po-luszny heard of the county'sfirewood stash and volun-teered to take it off the coun-ty's hands, county Adminis-trator Paul Dusek said.

"He volunteered to pickup the wood, take on the re-sponsibility, accept it as is,and be completely responsi-ble to distribute it," Duseksaid. "It has become a win-win situation – the wood ac-tually gets to people in need,as was the purpose of theprogram, yet there's no lia-bility to the county.”

Others noted that fire-wood — which can vary inquality and burning charac-teristics — could have posed

a liability to the county if arecipient of the wood had asuffered a home fire.

Since 2008, county work-ers had garnered the woodfrom trees that had fallenalong highways they main-tain. They cut, split andstacked the wood for the

county program that was es-tablished in 2008 to helplow-income residents whoburn wood to heat theirhomes. The firewood was tobe distributed to families se-lected by the county SocialServices Department.

Much of the wood, how-

ever, decayed in storage be-hind the former county jailat the county MunicipalCenter.

•100 Years Ago – Jan. 1912•Adirondack manhunt for murderer

Edward Donato, the missing Italian farm-hand who is wanted for the murder of theMorner family near Rensselaer last month, isbelieved to be making his way through theAdirondacks to Canada. An Italian, whosedescription is similar to the description ofDonato, left the Utica train at Tupper LakeDec. 28, 1911 and was seen to leave the townon foot taking the road leading over Mt.Steward which is seldom traveled in thewinter. He is described by those who haveseen him as having “a hunted look.”

The Utica police were notified and someofficers arrived and took the trail. It is be-lieved that the man may stop at Minevillewhere there are about 150 Italians employedat the Sherman foundry and that place is be-ing closely watched.

Seer predicts bad times aheadThe coming of a new year brings changes

of more or less importance with the social,political and financial world.

According to a Paris fortune teller, we arein for a tough time during 1912. This“pythoness” declares that “a hard winter isahead, a sullen spring -time, a heavy sum-mer and a bitter fall.” Also “nations will beupheaved, a great European war is to befought, the high cost of living is to go high-er, Paris will probably topple in ruins, babieswill not have enough milk and Kaiser Wil-helm of Germany will lose his crown. We’renot going to worry about it! (Note…Lookingback at history, this female soothsayer wasnot far wrong. In 1912 the world was on theverge of disaster, just as we are today. WorldWar I, “the great war,” started when on June28, 1914 Archduke Francis Ferdinand, theheir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, wasgunned down and killed. It was an ugly warwith the use of poison gas which continuedon until 1918 when Kaiser Wilheim II, whohad ruled Germany since 1888, did indeed

lose his crown when he suffered enforced ab-dication. History seems to just repeat itself— same story, just different names andplaces. Warrensburgh News Editor JohnTubbs was right when he wrote that it did nogood to worry about it.)

Hurried man chokes on food, diesRobert W. Johnson, head butcher for John

Anderson Jr. at Newcomb, choked to deaththe afternoon of Jan. 4, 1912 while eatingdinner at the Adirondack Hotel in NorthCreek. He was hurrying to catch a stage,which was waiting for him, when a piece ofmeat became lodged in his throat. The unfor-tunate man was hurried to the porch andevery effort was made to remove the ob-struction, but his suffering could not be re-lieved and in a few moments he fell lifeless.

The deceased was 60 and was a son of thelate Col. William R. Johnson of SaratogaSprings. Burial was in the family plot at theSaratoga Greenridge Cemetery.

Festive party set for Queen VillageThe first dance of 1912 at the Music Hall

in Warrensburgh is announced for theevening of Jan. 3, 1912. “Jack” Curley will bein attendance with his two able assistant mu-sic-makers and a program of the latest hitsto be rendered “Curley style.” The admis-sion will be 75 cents for the fellows but thegirls can get by with a quarter. Dancers whoare foolish enough to stay away will miss areally good time! (Note: When you drivewest on Adirondack Avenue toward MainSt., roll down your window, listen carefullyand you will be still be able to hear the echoof that distant music!)

Gala weddings held locallyMiss Genevieve Marion Bibby, daughter of

Robert Bibby of North Creek and HarrySuprenant, son of Modeste Suprenant ofOlmstedville, were married Dec. 26, 1911 athigh noon at the home of the bride by theRev. Bert S. Van Vlett of the Chester BaptistChurch.

The couple will return from their weddingtrip in two weeks to take up residence atNorth Creek.

In other news, Walter Foote of Aiden Lairand Miss Rose Goodspeed, oldest daughterof George Goodspeed of North Chester, weremarried at the Baptist parsonage in Minervaon the evening of Dec. 29, 1911 by the Rev.F.M. Bar. They were attended by HowardFoote and Mrs. Leonard Savoy of Aiden Lair,brother and sister of the groom.

A pretty wedding took place at the homeof James Varnum at high noon, Dec. 30, 1911when their daughter was given in marriageto Luther G. Hammond of Lake George.Some time after Jan. 1, 1912, they will be athome at 153 Bay St., Glens Falls.

Schuyler Gill of Stony Creek and MissLucy Bruno of Caldwell were married Dec.31, 1911 by the Rev. C.H. Mead at the homeof the bridegroom’s father, Chester Gill inStony Creek. They were attended by ChesterGill, brother of the bridegroom and MissClara C. Madison. The couple will take uphousekeeping in Stony Creek.

Business changes handsOn Jan. 1, 1912, Russell & Co., will take

over the tea jobbing business of John B.Brown, for years a prominent figure in thetrade. His partner, Mr. Sloan and many of thenew employees will continue with the newconnection.

John B. Brown is married to Miss AliceFaxon, daughter of the late Charles H. Fax-on of Chestertown. Mr. Brown, who haslarge banking and railroad interests, willnow spend more time at his country home inChestertown.

Warrensburgh news briefsThere was not a single death in the town

of Warrensburgh in Dec., 1911. The popula-tion of the town increased by one citizen asthere was one birth reported. There wereseveral marriages.

The windstorm which swept over this lo-

cality the night of Dec. 28, 1911 was one ofthe most violent known here in many a year.It raged all night with unabated fury, but noserious damage was reported. The next daythe roads were muddy and than froze andmade it so slippery that it was hard to getaround. Snow finally came on Dec. 31, 1911,followed by sleet in the evening which putthe roads in good condition for driving withlight sleighs and cutters.

Chicken were selling for $1 per head atChristmas and were all snapped up for thatprice. Richard Combs has sold his farm atCat’s Corners to Nelson Combs. (Note: Cat’sor Katz’s Corners is in Warrensburgh, justthis side of the Thurman Bridge.)

While rolling logs at A.C. Emerson &Company’s mill on the afternoon of Jan. 9,1912, Thomas Woodward slipped and fell,breaking one of the bones in his left forearm.Dr. Griffin was called to reduce the fracture.

Michael O’Brien of Hudson Falls has an-nounced the engagement of his daughter,Helen C. O’Brien to Scott B. Smith of War-rensburgh. (Note: For many years Scott B.Smith was a well-known and respected in-surance man in Warrensburgh,)

The mica mine in Darrowsville, NorthWarrensburgh is turning out a fine grade ofmineral. Roscoe Stone is employed in JohnG. Hunt’s hardware store. (Note: The storewas in the north end of today’s Marco PoloPizza shop.)

Craig Wood of New York City is entertain-ing Hart Joseph, Milon N. Eldridge. Berry W.Woodward, J.P. Gabel and E.C. Austin at theViele Pond Club. (Note: This club was on thetop of Harrington Hill.)

Thought for the day: The WarrensburghNews started publication Jan. 30, 1878 to be-come the second oldest newspaper in War-ren County. The Glens Falls Messenger, aweekly paper very similar began first whenit started publication in 1855. Now, ofcourse, the Adirondack Journal incorporatesthe Warrensburgh News, as it has since themid-1990s.

Firewood stashed by county will go to needy

Firewood that was collected, cut and split since 2008 by Warren County workers in a program to help thosein need, will now be distributed as intended after a news report prompted public concern that the woodwas merely decaying. The firewood, five cords or so, is piled up in the exercise yard of the former WarrenCounty Jail.

L.G. School budget forum slated LAKE GEORGE —The Lake George Central School District

is hosting a budget forum from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Monday, Jan.9 in the high school cafeteria. The event is designed to givearea residents a chance to discuss their ideas on how the dis-trict can meet the fiscal challenges of the future.

The format will be similar to the recent Community Con-versation in which residents were randomly assigned to ta-bles. This time, however, residents will have a chance tospeak directly with administrators and board of educationmembers who will be seated at those tables.

At the forum, residents will also receive preliminary fig-ures on the 2012-13 school budget.

Patrick Dee, Superintendent of Lake George CentralSchool District, urged all stakeholders to attend the forumas the property tax levy cap and dwindling state aid willgreatly impact the programs the school will be able to offerin the future, he said.

“Of course, we don’t want to have to cut programs becausewe want to maintain a quality education,” Dee said. “How-ever, the district is facing obstacles that it has never facedbefore. That is why I urge all residents to take part in thisimportant discussion.”

Details are available by calling the District Superinten-dent’s office at 668-5456 ext. 1207.

Sympathy for Stony Creek familyDeepest sympathy goes out to the family of Jim Bormann,

who passed away Dec. 21, 2011. Jim was a wonderful manwho will truly be missed in the community.

Due to demand, builders todayare constantly learning about thenew and advanced technologies forhome construction. Owner-clientswant to be assured of living in thehealthiest, most durable, leastwasteful house possible — andtherefore, building a home from theground up is the best opportunityto get it right.

"In addition to fixtures and mate-rials, be sure to ask for the mostadvanced construction methods,"says Todd Blyth at Nudura, a lead-ing name in building system tech-nology. "For example, more andmore builders, on request, are dis-carding the traditional wood-fram-ing method — now seen as ineffi-cient and wasteful — in favour ofconcrete walls."

Why concrete?This advanced technology con-

sists of pre-assembled, interlockingforms delivered to the constructionsite. The specialized panels consistof two, stay-in-place forms ofExpanded Polystyrene (EPS) con-nected with a hinged, folding web.The forms are stacked, reinforced,and then filled with concrete, creat-ing a solid monolithic wall.

"The benefits are extensive,"Blyth explains. "Architects areinspired by new design possibili-ties; builders cut their construction

time in half; and the homeowner(or commercial building owner)can feel satisfied for cutting backon an enormous amount of wood."

As importantly, the quality of lifecontinues long after construction iscompleted, he continued. As timegoes on within "the most techno-logically advanced walls", yourenergy bills could drop by as muchas 70 percent.

"This type of concrete buildingenvelope delivers twice the effi-

ciency compared to stick framewalls —and with no wood rot andmould it delivers none of the relat-ed toxicity. Concrete walls are upto three times more sound resis-tant; up to four times more fireresistant; nine times stronger; andfar more resistant to thermal bridg-ing where outside cold seeps in tocause uncomfortable cold spots,drafts, and mustiness."

Floor and ceiling construction isnow far advanced too.

Due to demand, builders todayare constantly learning about thenew and advanced technologies forhome construction. Owner-clientswant to be assured of living in thehealthiest, most durable, leastwasteful house possible — andtherefore, building a home from theground up is the best opportunityto get it right.

"In addition to fixtures and mate-rials, be sure to ask for the mostadvanced construction methods,"says Todd Blyth at Nudura, a lead-ing name in building system tech-nology. "For example, more andmore builders, on request, are dis-carding the traditional wood-fram-ing method — now seen as ineffi-cient and wasteful — in favour ofconcrete walls."

Why concrete?This advanced technology con-

sists of pre-assembled, interlockingforms delivered to the constructionsite. The specialized panels consistof two, stay-in-place forms ofExpanded Polystyrene (EPS) con-nected with a hinged, folding web.The forms are stacked, reinforced,and then filled with concrete, creat-ing a solid monolithic wall.

"The benefits are extensive,"Blyth explains. "Architects areinspired by new design possibili-ties; builders cut their construction

time in half; and the homeowner(or commercial building owner)can feel satisfied for cutting backon an enormous amount of wood."

As importantly, the quality of lifecontinues long after construction iscompleted, he continued. As timegoes on within "the most techno-logically advanced walls", yourenergy bills could drop by as muchas 70 percent.

"This type of concrete buildingenvelope delivers twice the effi-

ciency compared to stick framewalls —and with no wood rot andmould it delivers none of the relat-ed toxicity. Concrete walls are upto three times more sound resis-tant; up to four times more fireresistant; nine times stronger; andfar more resistant to thermal bridg-ing where outside cold seeps in tocause uncomfortable cold spots,drafts, and mustiness."

Floor and ceiling construction isnow far advanced too.

era that sewer treatment became ever more technical andhighly regulated, Blais said, noting that Burlingame was incharge when many upgrades were installed to keep aheadof regulations.

He also was in charge and responded with diligence, Blaissaid, during the 2009 sewer leak incident, which promptedsystem enhancements surpassing state standards.

Harrington said Burlingame worked well with others incarrying out tasks, including planning for the installation of$1.56 million of denitrification equipment at the plant thatwill both increase capacity and boost quality of the plantoutflows. This project is scheduled to be completed next Oc-tober.

“You couldn’t have asked for a better guy to work with,”Harrington said. “He knew everything about wastewatertreatment, and he always made me look good.”

Burlingame started out 22 years ago as foreman of thesewer plant, and in the late 1990s was promoted to ChiefWastewater Operator. About 18 months ago, Burlingamesemi-retired, shifting to part-time work in the position. Themove was prompted by his diagnosis of throat cancer. Fam-ily members say the cancer was in remission, but now it hasreturned.

Burlingame’s full-time replacement, Tim Shudt, is now onthe job, and Burlingame is teaching him what he needs toknow to continue smooth operation of the sewer plant, Har-rington said.

Burlingame said he was happy with the recognition of hisyears of work.

“Lake George has been really great to me,” he said.Reggie’s wife, Elly Burlingame, said she deeply appreci-

ated the road re-dedication in the name of her husband.

“This is a wonderful tribute,” she said. “It truly honorsthe legacy he’s leaving for the village.”

wrestlers,” she said.Victoria Oehler said his fitness instruc-

tion has been helpful: “He taught us to liftstraight,” she said. “He encourages us to doour best.”

Robin Winslow Mahler said West is notthe first male student to join the Warrens-burgh High School cheerleading squad. Shesaid Jason Bell, a WCS senior during themid-2000s, was perhaps the first ever to bea Burgher cheerleader. She said he was anaccomplished breakdancer, and had theability to run across walls, seemingly defy-ing gravity.

West also has airborne talents, perhapsmore conventional. He is able to kick hisfeet out to his sides, high and wide, andtouch his toes — a traditional cheerleadingroutine.

It was this talent, the girls said, that gothim involved in the squad to begin with.

Last year, Wood had just gotten out of adrama session, rehearsing for the school'sproduction of “Little Shop of Horrors.” Hepassed by the cheerleaders in the highschool, and uttered a wisecrack of theirjumping abilities. He chided them that hecould jump higher and with more precisionthan any of them.

Challenged by the cheerleaders to sur-

pass their attempts, he jumped high off thefloor and executed a professional toe-touchroutine on the spot.

Makala Hill recalled that she watched hisjaw-dropping feat.

“I told him, you have to join us — then weliterally forced him to.”

Not long afterwards, he was practicingand performing routines for them at theVarsity games. Among his feats he executes

for the crowd the cheerleaders said, are var-ious flips.

As might be expected, Wood has receiveda little flak for his non-traditional role.

“At first, I got a little of the 'gay' crap hereand there,” Wood said.

The girls on the squad have defended hischoice to take on a role traditionally re-served for girls, at least in locals' eyes.

Cheerleader Nequia Langabeer said thecheerleaders watch his back and squash anydiscriminatory or derogatory comments.

“I tell them, ‘If you have a problem withSeth on the squad, you have a problem withthe whole team,’” she said.

Wood said he appreciates the support.“At this point, most of the squad would

go flippin' out and stand up for me if some-one said anything,” he said, adding that heplans to go out for cheerleading again incollege.

The relationship between Wood and theother cheerleaders is apparently mutual.

Cheerleading coach Robin Mahler saidWood is viewed as a “big brother” by thegirls.

Langabeer said the squad wouldn't be thesame without the male influence Seth Woodprovides.

“He's very athletic and helpful for theteam – I feel safe with him around,” shesaid. “He does a lot for the team, and we re-spect him for it.”

Warrensburg High School Senior Seth Wood yells out a cheer during a basketball game held Dec. 20. He isonly the second male cheerleader at Warrensburg High School in at least a quarter century.

the town highway garage onKing St., and the Warrens-burg Health Center at Mainand Richards Avenue, hesaid.

“Several firms are inter-ested in working with us,”Geraghty said. “We’re goingto consider where solar willwork, and to install solar fa-cilities wherever we can.”

Two weeks ago, the townof Chester began its conver-sion to solar power, as oneset of solar panels went on-line at the town landfill.Other solar arrays are to goonline soon at the Chestermunicipal center, towngarage, Dynamite Hillrecreation center and thetown-owned Chester-Hori-con Health Center.

Chester ’s solar conver-sion project is a public-pri-vate partnership — withabout $500,000 worth of so-lar panels, regulators andassociated equipment de-signed, installed andbankrolled by a team of pri-vate firms. The installationis leased to Chester and gov-erned by a 10-year contractthat guarantees a savings of10 to 25 percent on electric-ity costs, below standard

rates paid from power offthe grid.

Town of Chester officialshave said they like the ideaof the lease contract’s guar-anteed savings while pri-vate firms take on the re-sponsibility and risk associ-ated with maintenance,changing market rates andequipment obsolescence.

Geraghty said the War-rensburg town board ispresently keeping its op-tions open on the decision ofwhether to favor leasing orpurchasing equipment,which might offer more lu-crative savings for taxpay-ers.

“We will see what the en-gineers and solar companieshave to offer,” he said.

WARRENSBURG — An intriguing trio ofenterprises, owned and operated by a localwoman, has opened under one roof in War-rensburg.

Sarah Morgan, 31, has opened a cafe/bi-cycle shop and a beauty salon at 3897 MainSt. in the former Maltbie Chrysler building.

The first two enterprises are jointly titledGrind ‘N Gears, and the third, Groom Sa-lon.

The cafe serves robust coffee and espres-so brewed from custom-roasted andground organic beans — for about the sameprice other outlets offer tame, watered-down drinks.

Grind ‘n Gears also offers creative sand-wiches and salads with nutritious freshand natural ingredients — organic and lo-cally grown when feasible, Morgan said.

With the emphasis on good health for all,the cafe also offers gluten-free, low sodiumand vegetarian options. The eatery — fea-turing free wi-fi so patrons can check emailor surf the internet — is open for breakfastand lunch, Morgan said. Breakfast fa-vorites include gluten-free waffles andfresh bagels, she said.

“The cafe is geared towards people look-ing for an affordable, healthy, fast break-fast, lunch, or hot drink, or a place to justrelax,” she said.

On the way in the door, there’s a lineupof new bicycles for sale, harking to theshop’s name. While some may question thecombination of bicycles and a coffee cafe,it’s a new trend in Arizona and California,Morgan said.

“It’s a West Coast concept that I’m bring-ing to the eastern U.S.,” Morgan said.

Morgan said she’s launched the enter-prise in the memory of her late fiance, withwhom she owned and operated a bicycleshop from 2006 to 2009 in Dobbs Ferry NY.

“I want to carry forward Ricky’s dream,”she said. “He’d be ecstatic with Grind ‘nGears — he loved the Adirondacks.”

While a variety of bicycles are now avail-able for purchase, the repair and mainte-nance services will be offered beginning inspring, Morgan said.

Groom Salon, open since mid-Novem-

ber, offers creative styles, perms and color-ing. The front area of the spacious salon hasa contemporary, bold appearance, whichshe said is “man friendly.” Separate color-ing and shampoo areas have a more con-ventional look, she said.

“The Salon has a classy city feel, whilemaintaining the modest Adirondack pric-ing,” she said.

Morgan worked as a hairdresser in Pleas-antville, Westchester County, and whilethere she studied hair cutting and color un-der master hair colorists — and took regu-lar seminars in Soho. Morgan added thather salon offers a full scale of hair productsfor men and women, along with aro-matherapy.

Her salon is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.Tuesday through Friday, and from 9 a.m. to2 p.m. on Saturdays. Appointments can bescheduled for other hours too. The salon’sphone number is 504-8061.

The cafe is open from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. dai-ly and on weekends, from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.,and hours are often extended. Delivery isavailable to local businesses from 11 a.m.to 12:30 p.m. daily. Grind ‘n Gears can bereached at 504-8060.

Morgan said she’s excited to return toWarrensburg and offer these new servicesto her friends and neighbors, old and new.

“I hope my businesses supply a greatplace for people to embrace their overallhealth and well being,’ she said.

Girls team is hard workingBy Thom [email protected]

CHESTERTOWN — The pre-season pre-dictions of area sports fans have proven trueso far this year.

North Warren High School, with its limit-ed enrollment, is continuing its recent trendof beating the odds in girls basketball.

The Cougars have cruised through 2011with an admirable 4-1 record as of this week— a considerable feat for routinely playingschools twice their size.

With a third of their season now history,the team is on a solid course toward repeat-ing or surpassing their 2010-11 achievementof securing second place in the AdirondackLeague Western Division.

Coach P.J. Hogan said the reason for theirearly-season success this year is team chem-istry and court vision — as well as the play-ers’ athleticism and drive.

“The girls know where they should be onthe court, they’re finding the open player,making the open pass, and working well to-gether,” Hogan said.

Another reason for their success is surelythat the core team members have been play-ing AAU basketball together off-season forthree years.

To start off 2011-12, the Cougars defeatedBolton 55 to 27 on Dec. 6, then lost to the

ever-tough Hartford squad of AdirondackLeague East by a score of 44 to 26 when the

Tanagers keyed in on their core players. Thegirls then defeated Hadley-Luzerne 60 to 25

on Dec. 13, Salem 52 to 34 on Dec. 16, and onDec. 20, defeated Corinth 47 to 32.

Hogan said his team’s recent successagainst the Tomahawks was due to steely de-fense.

“We pressed a bit, got turnovers early, andforced them into some tough shots,” he said.“We also had very balanced scoring withfour players in double figures. They’d keyon one of our players, and our girls wouldmake that extra pass to another teammatewho’d score.”

Seniors Kiera Warner, Cassie Maday andMargo Broderick have been leading the scor-ing parade this year.

Against Corinth, these three plus JuniorAmber Frasier all scored in double figures.

Hogan extends the credit for the season’ssuccess to each one of the Cougar ’s nineplayers, noting they’ve all played vital rolesin the 4-1 record.

“We’ve experienced a very balanced effortinvolving all the girls, particularly getting alot of leadership out of the seniors,” he said.“Everyone is playing hard — in games andpractice.”

Hogan noted that both his team and thestoried Lake George squad are both 4-1 atthis point, adding that he is anticipating thathis team will achieve the success of the 2010-11 squad — if not surpassing their record.

“At this point, we’re playing one game ata time,” he said.

Deer take downby 10 percent innorthern zoneWhile some really

nice antlers hitthe forest floor

this hunting season, I thinkthe universal theme comingfrom Adirondack huntingcamps was that less deerwere being seen.

I know that was our expe-rience at my camp.

The preliminary deer takenumbers in the northernzone seem to follow thattrend, according to seniorwildlife biologist Ed Reed.

Reed said the number of deer reported to the DEC thisseason was down about 10 percent in the northern zone.Conversely, the deer take in the southern zone was upabout 10 percent, he said.

“So, overall, I think the statewide total will be about thesame as last year,” Reed said.

Hunters harvested just over 230,000 deer in the 2010hunting season, an increase of about 3 percent over 2009.The 2010 deer take included approximately 123,100 antler-less deer and just under 107,000 bucks.

Deer harvests in the northern zone in 2010 were verycomparable to 2009, with adult buck take at approximate-ly 16,100 and antlerless take approximately 12,500. In thesouthern zone, excluding Long Island, adult buck take in2010 was approximately 89,900 while antlerless take wasapproximately 108,600.

If the numbers hold true to Reed’s prediction, the deertake in the northern zone will decline from 28,600 deer in2010 to 25,740 in 2011, with about 1,600 less bucks taken.Total deer take in the southern zone will rise from 198,500in 2010 to 218,350 in 2011.

Deer harvest data is gathered from two main sources,harvest reports called in by successful hunters, and DECstaff ’s examination of harvested deer at check stations andmeat processors.

Biologists are well aware that even though it is re-quired, still only about 45 percent of successful huntersreport their take, and this is taken into consideration inthe final tally. Considering all variables, the DEC main-tains its statewide harvest numbers are statistically accu-rate to within ±2 percent.

Final numbers on the 2011 deer tally will not be madeavailable to the public until February, Reed said.

Reed attributed the lackluster deer take in the northernzone to a handful of factors, including milder than aver-age fall temperatures combined with ample feed, keepingdeer movement to a minimum.

He also said the region has experienced larger than nor-mal snow totals in four of the last five winters, inhibitingdeer travel and making it difficult for them to reach foodsources, increasing winter mortality.

“Fawns are the first to go, because of their size and lackof fat reserve compared to adult deer,” Reed said.

“We haven’t witnessed any really large die-offs, but afew deer here and there starts to add up in the northernzone.”

The 2010 and previous year ’s deer harvest by county,town, and wildlife management unit are available atwww.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/42232.html on the DEC web-site.

On Jan. 14, 2010, I was in Albany to attend aRoundtable Meeting with the NYSDEC, to dis-cuss a wide range of sportsman’s concerns and

issues.Representatives from over 40 different sportsmen’s or-

ganizations and conservation councils including NYS Bass,Trout Unlimited, Ducks Unlimited, Pheasants Forever,NYS Houndsmen, National Shooting Sports Foundation,Safari Club International and others were in attendance.

At the meeting, DEC administrators covered a variety ofissues such as license fees, the distribution of Conserva-tion Fund monies, agency staffing concerns, special proj-ects, hatchery rehabilitation projects, law enforcement ini-tiatives, DEC Conservation Camp programs, Archery inthe Schools, the importance of mentoring programs andmuch more.

However, the most alarming topic concerned the spreadof a dangerous, new invasive species in New York, the fer-al swine.

At the time, wild hogs had already been discovered inover 16 New York counties, primarily in the southern tier.Although the origins of the swine in the Southern Tierwere undetermined, they were known to have destroyedagricultural crops, ravaged the mast crop, killed fawnsand endangered many species of birds, particularlyground nesters such as wild turkeys.

DEC biologists implored attendees to enlist the fellowsportsmen in the effort to control the hogs, before theirpopulations became unmanageable, as they already are, inmany other states.

In many southern states, feral swine have taken over,and displaced many native species. The porkers are be-lieved to have descended from wild boar stock, and theirphysical appearance is closer to wild boar than to domes-tic pigs. There is nothing cute about them.

Populations can multiply quickly, as they can produce alitter every 4 months, with anywhere from 10 to 15 piglets.

Wherever they have become established, feral swinehave caused incredible environmental impacts, by damag-ing crops, destroying native plants, reducing forest regen-eration and competing with native species for food andterritory.

Ten years ago, the loss and damage to agriculture fromferal swine was estimated to be greater than $800 millionin the US. In addition, feral swine have been known toprey on lambs, goat kids, and calves in Texas and Aus-tralia. In other states feral swine have been known tospread disease to livestock.

Feral Hogs can now be found in every state in the coun-try, and populations are at epidemic proportions in Texas,Florida, California and Hawaii. Recently, in efforts to con-trol the invasives, the state of Texas took the extraordinarymeasure of allowing hunters to shoot feral hogs from heli-copters.

And this little piggy goes…..Despite introduction into the southern tier, there were

few concerns that wild swine would invade the Adiron-dacks. It had been attempted before, in 1902, when Russ-ian boar were introduced to a large hunting preserve nearTupper Lake, along with elk, Sitka deer and other exoticspecies.

Although the initial stock was contained within a 1,000acre game fence, wild boar has never been able to establisha permanent population in the North Country.

However, it appears they are trying to, according to BobRulf, the owner of Rulf ’s Orchards on the Bear SwampRoad in Peru.

“We first noticed them about three years ago,” Mr. Rulfrecently explained. “I’m very upset, they cause a lot of

damage! They eat the seedcorn, pumpkins, apples, andthey root up everything.We’ve lost over $20,000, andit’s not covered by our in-surance.”

DEC wildlife biologistsestimate there are about 30wild pigs in a territory ofabout two to three squaremiles near Bear SwampRoad in Peru.

“Fortunately, we got nuisance permits from the DEC, sothat hunters can help us get rid of them.” Mr. Rulf contin-ued, “DEC has already trapped three, and three have beenshot. A couple have also been hit by cars.”

According to Brian Thew of Morrisonville, blood testsindicate the big pigs are 100 percent Russian Boar. Thewis one of several hunters, who have been attempting tohelp eradicate the hogs.

“We were hunting them every night, and we workedthem hard!” he explained, “But they are fast and smart!There are already three generations, with small 15-20-pound pigs, 150-170-pound hogs and we’ve seen one olderboar that had to be over 400 pounds.”

Currently, DEC is continuing their efforts to trap thepigs, and hunters hope to be in the fields as often as possi-ble. In the ongoing battle, permitted hunters are allowedto bait the pigs, and to utilize lights, as well as laserscopes to hunt them.

Because feral hogs have such destructive potential, theDEC will usually provide hunters with permits to kill thewild pigs on the spot. DEC's goal is to eradicate feralswine from the state's landscape. In New York, peoplewith a small game license may shoot and keep feral swineat any time and in any number. All other hunting laws andfirearms regulations are still in effect when shooting feralswine.

The DEC asks those who see the animals to report theirsightings through email to [email protected] orby phone to the nearest regional wildlife office. Region 5'sheadquarters in Ray Brook can be reached at 897-1200.

Pictured here isone of the big,wild hogs thatwas recently tak-en in Peru. Thehogs feed prima-rily at night. Thecinderblock pro-vides some per-spective on thesize of the animal. Brian Thew, one ofthe hog huntersexplained, “Themeat is unbeliev-able, it is reallylean. DEC testedit for disease, andit was deemedsafe, so we had abig, pig roast!”

This feral swine, weighing about 40 pounds, was shot in Peru by Sho-by Finle of Beekmantown.

Brothers Mike and Jim West shot these two mature Adirondackbucks within 20 minutes of each other while hunting in NewcombNov. 23.
