Food Fair Saturday at the site of the Rural Museum.
The foods offered were cider and doughnuts, hot dogs,
homemade soups, chowders and chilies, candied apples, home-
made pies and other seasonal baked goods. Crafters offered
woodcrafts, metalwork, art photography, and handmade jewelry.
Antiques, collectibles and white elephant treasures were also
available. The art of chair caning was demonstrated by the Chair
Man, George Watts, and the guitar strings of strolling minstrel
Emily Smith and her powerful voice provided entertainment.
Terry Warner, former Northville historian, made a gallant at-
tempt to start the antique Iron Mule. This now rusted large tractor
was used to transport dirt and pour concrete during the
Conklingville Dam construction prior to 1932. It was the first time
in 70 years the Iron Mule was to be started, and started it was.

Northville village board OKs new curfew

By HEATHER NELLIS
For the Express
NORTHVILLE — come down when we don’t re-
During a meeting of the vil-
lage board on Tuesday, Sept
16., officials unanimously
voted “yes” to all issues
moved, most notably to a pro-
posed resolution approving an
11 p.m. curfew for minors and
an opposition to map amend-
ments requested by the
Adirondack Park Agency.
The curfew strictly pro-
hibits any minor presence in
all “public areas of the village
of Northville at night to re-
duce juvenile crime and van-
dalism to protect the children
and minors of the village,” ac-
cording to newly added
Chapter 80 of Local Law No.
1 of 2008.
The lone cry of protest
came from Northville local
Terry Horner, the only resi-
dent to attend the meeting to
express his concern with the
curfew.
“In the past 20 years, I
have never had a bad experi-
ence with the youth here, even
Perthshire
during Halloween,” he com-
mented. “I would hate to see
another ‘big brother ’ law
ally need it.”
“We had a lot of problems
last summer with vandalism
and underage drinking,” said
Mayor James Groff in re-
sponse. “We’ve seen break-
ins at the Grand Union, the
liquor store, and vandalism at
the park. ... I don’t like being
a surrogate parent. ... and it
takes up a lot of our time.”
Trustee Norman
Richardson took note of the
lack of opposition to the cur-
few, stating that officials “did-
n’t get any input from the
neighbors, and if nobody says
‘no,’ then they are in favor.”
“We do have a lot of good
kids here, so I don’t see it af-
fecting many of them,” said
Trustee Jennifer Conkling-
Donovan. “It’s just to ensure
that those few bad apples
don’t do anything we could
have prevented.”
Another notable issue of
the evening was a map
amendment presented by the
APA that called to amend the
Official Adirondack Park
Land Use and Development
Plan Map. According to a let-
ter from Matthew S. Kendall,
senior natural resource plan-
ner for the APA, certain “areas
that are under the jurisdiction
of the Hudson River-Black
River Regulating District
around Great Sacandaga
Reservoir are owned by the
State of New York but are in-
correctly classified as private
lands on the map.”
Trustee William
Gritsavage called to send a re-
sponse “strongly opposing” to
the “untimely letter” that was
dated Aug. 27, and had re-
quested preliminary com-
ments by Sept. 10.
Compliance with the APA’s
amendments could mean that,
“anyone could walk up on
someone’s property and have
a picnic without needing your
permission or respecting your
permit,” he said. Gritsavage’s
motion was seconded and
unanimously passed.
According to the letter,
the APA would expect approx-
imately 3,259 acres of the
Sacandaga Lake be handed
over to the state.

Sept. 16 Northville Village Board of Trustees meeting.

The fall left him with a se-

each show with some time at
the gym and a skinny vanilla
latte from Starbucks.”
“Kyle has wanted to be
on stage since he was a little
boy,” said his mother Sheri
Brown. “When he was 3
years old, he used to watch
Peter Pan, and he knew every
dance and every song by
heart. He got his first real role
when he was in fourth grade-
the lead role in Pinocchio.
He’s been doing this ever
since.”
By high school, Brown
was so driven to be a per-
former that he applied and
was accepted to performing
arts high school Walnut Hill
in Boston.
“His time in Boston was
instrumental to his acceptance
to Cincinnati,” said Sheri.
“We don’t have that kind of
preparation around here. He’s

Lenahan said as a result
of the funding awarded to the
sheriff ’s department, there
were 18 arrests and 145 uni-
form traffic tickets issued for
the enforcement of 33 sepa-
rate traffic safety laws during
a total of 416 hours logged by
deputies.
The report indicated nine
arrests for Operating with a

worked very hard and done it
all on his own.”
Brown’s mom is “very
proud” of her son, and has
traveled often to see him per-
form.
“I saw him in a lot of his
Pittsburgh shows, and I went
down to the city with my
daughter and her husband to
watch him in his first
Broadway show. It was amaz-
ing. He’s really talented and I
don’t just say that because
he’s my son.”
Sheri is currently organiz-
ing a bus trip to the Palace
Theater for Oct. 12. The bus
has room for 55 people, and
she has already sold approxi-
mately 30 tickets.
“We originally planned
the trip for sometime in
November, but there is a pos-
sibility that Kyle may get cast
in a touring chorus line,”
Sheri said. “It’s a lead role,
and not that he doesn’t appre-
ciate his role in ‘Legally
Blonde,’ this one would be
more active. We moved the
bus trip so we were sure we
could see him on Broadway.”
No matter what role he is
playing, Brown adds a per-
sonal touch to each character
he portrays.
“I feel like I bring some-
thing similar to every role —
a piece of me.” J
quent safety violations en-
forced by deputies included
uninspected motor vehicle,
operating while unlawfully
using a cell phone, passing a
red light, passing a stop sign,
and traveling in excess of
posted speed limits.
From April 1, 2007
through September 15, 2007
the department investigated
30 motor vehicle accidents in-
volving property damage, 21
involving personal injuries
and one involving a fatality.
During that time period
for 2008, the department in-
vestigated 26 motor vehicle
accidents involving property
damage, nine involving per-
sonal injuries and no fatalities
were recorded. J

Halloween around the Great Sacandaga
By L.L. DECKER
For the Express
The October series, for
the next five weeks, will fea-
ture folklore and historical
stories from Mayfield,
Northville, Broadalbin, Fish
House, Conklinville, Jackson
Summit, Edinburg, and
Batchellerville. Starting the
series with grave stones and
symbolisms.
Over the centuries, grave
stones have been constructed
from a variety of different
materials. Wood, although
abundant, didn’t weather well.
Slate, used in the 1700’s, usu-
ally shows little or no weath-
ering. Headstones from the
1800's that were made of
sandstone are usually in very
bad shape. Since around 1900
most headstones have been
made from granite not easily
eroded in time.
Godfrey Shew was the
first settler along the
Sacandaga River at Fish
House in 1771. The where-
abouts of his remains are un-
known. A story in references
is found that he may have
been scalped by Indians. The
reference notes conflicting
dates. Shew’s date of death
was years after the fighting of
the Revolutionary War ended
so this could be doubtful.
In the Northville South
Main Street Cemetery is the
grave of Samuel Olmstead,
first settler in 1788.
Olmsteads stone is the first
stone on the left as you walk
through iron gates. Next to
him are also graves of his
wife and children. Impressive
monuments with symbolisms
are found at this cemetery.
Clarkville Cemetery in
Edinburg is the final resting
place of Samuel Downing one
of the last Revolutionary War
pensioners who died in 1867
at 105 years old. Downing
was born in New Hampshire.
At age sixteen Downing en-
listed in the army and was
sent with other enlisted to
guard baggage wagons. He
also participated in the cam-
paign that resulted in the sur-
render of Burgoyne at the
Battle of Saratoga. Downing
took much interest the Civil
War and frequently expressed
a wish to have strength
enough to assist the govern-
ment. He would have been 99
years old then. Three of
Downings grandsons served
in the Union Army. The
Clarkville Cemetery contains
many grave stones with won-
derful symbolisms.

Brandon Bush hitting his stride for B-PCS
By PAUL ANTONELLI
For the Express
BROADALBIN — It took a while
for Brandon Bush to learn how to use
his new Taylor Made RAC TD steel
shaft irons, but once the Broadalbin-
Perth senior worked out some of the
difficulties of hitting with forged irons,
his golf game soared to new heights.
He began to hit draws, fades and
can now hit an approach shot into the
green with controlling spin.
Of course, his scores have plum-
meted as well.
Bush fired two rounds of even-par
32 recently at Holland Meadows put-
ting the 5-foot-11 ballstriker in solid
contention to make a run at a sectional
title. Johnstown’s Andy Rathbun is the
only golfer to ever break par at the
course.
“The greens there are really small
so you have to play British Open-like
golf,” Bush said. “You bump every-
thing and let it roll to the green.”
Bush has been a varsity golfer
since the eighth grade and has been
the team’s No. 1 player for the past
three seasons. He upgraded his game

over the summer, playing at famed
TBC Sawgrass — site of the Players
Championship. He played from the
back tees and at 7,405 yards and
found the course to be a monumental
test. Yet he was able to par the 424-
yard Par 4 10th hole and the difficult
462-yard, Par 4, 18th hole. He fin-
ished the round with an 85.
“Playing that course made me a
better golfer,” said Bush, who can
drive a golf ball close to 300 yards.

B-P golf coach Eric Sengenberger
has been with Bush every step of the
way.
“Brandon has steadily improved in
his 5 years on the varsity,”
Sengenberger said. “He can play a
wide variety of shots, and has good
touch around the greens. Over the past
year, he has practiced and played with
greater focus and purpose — he’d like
to play in college and pursue a career
in the golf business — and he’s taken a
leadership role on a very young team.”
Bush is also a member of the B-P
basketball team and may shift to point
guard following the graduation of
Paul Antonelli leading scorer Dan Schulz. But
Sengenberger feels Bush has a bright

This time of year offers great fishing
Some of you are still
heavily into the fishing scene
and that’s understandable
since this time of year offers
some of the very best fishing
potential we’ve seen since last
May.
The statewide bass season
closes on November 30 but
just about everything else you
might want to fish for in
Great Sacandaga Lake re-
mains open throughout the ice
fishing season.
The walleye and northern
pike seasons don’t close until
March 15 and even trout may
be taken year-round in the
lake, though there are some
restrictions on where you can
fish for trout between March
16 and the opening of the
walleye season on the first
Saturday in May, but those re-
strictions apply to streams en-
tering the lake, not the lake it-
self.
These restrictions are in
place to provide a measure of
protection for walleyes which
may enter these streams to
spawn in March and April.
You can get details on those
restrictions on page 57 in the
2006-2008 Freshwater
Fishing Regulations booklet
you received when you
bought your new licenses.
The hunting seasons have
also arrived and there are al-
ready loads of opportunities
to spend some quality time
afield.
For example, the
statewide squirrel, crow and
early goose seasons opened
on September 1. The early
goose season has since
closed, on September 25 to be
exact, but the other seasons
remain. Also, the ruffed
grouse season in the northern
zone opened on September
20.
For big game hunters, the
Early Bear season opened in
the northern zone on
September 13 and the north-
ern zone big game bowhunt-
ing season opened on
