NORTHVILLE —During a meeting of the vil-lage board on Tuesday, Sept16., officials unanimouslyvoted “yes” to all issuesmoved, most notably to a pro-posed resolution approving an11 p.m. curfew for minors andan opposition to map amend-ments requested by theAdirondack Park Agency.

The curfew strictly pro-hibits any minor presence inall “public areas of the villageof Northville at night to re-duce juvenile crime and van-dalism to protect the childrenand minors of the village,” ac-cording to newly addedChapter 80 of Local Law No.1 of 2008.

The lone cry of protestcame from Northville localTerry Horner, the only resi-dent to attend the meeting toexpress his concern with thecurfew.

“In the past 20 years, Ihave never had a bad experi-ence with the youth here, even

during Halloween,” he com-mented. “I would hate to seeanother ‘big brother ’ lawcome down when we don’t re-ally need it.”

“We had a lot of problemslast summer with vandalismand underage drinking,” saidMayor James Groff in re-sponse. “We’ve seen break-ins at the Grand Union, theliquor store, and vandalism atthe park. ... I don’t like beinga surrogate parent. ... and ittakes up a lot of our time.”

Trustee NormanRichardson took note of thelack of opposition to the cur-few, stating that officials “did-n’t get any input from theneighbors, and if nobody says‘no,’ then they are in favor.”

“We do have a lot of goodkids here, so I don’t see it af-fecting many of them,” saidTrustee Jennifer Conkling-Donovan. “It’s just to ensurethat those few bad applesdon’t do anything we couldhave prevented.”

Another notable issue ofthe evening was a mapamendment presented by the

APA that called to amend theOfficial Adirondack ParkLand Use and DevelopmentPlan Map. According to a let-ter from Matthew S. Kendall,senior natural resource plan-ner for the APA, certain “areasthat are under the jurisdictionof the Hudson River-BlackRiver Regulating Districtaround Great SacandagaReservoir are owned by theState of New York but are in-correctly classified as privatelands on the map.”

Trustee WilliamGritsavage called to send a re-sponse “strongly opposing” tothe “untimely letter” that wasdated Aug. 27, and had re-quested preliminary com-ments by Sept. 10.Compliance with the APA’samendments could mean that,“anyone could walk up onsomeone’s property and havea picnic without needing yourpermission or respecting yourpermit,” he said. Gritsavage’smotion was seconded andunanimously passed.

According to the letter,the APA would expect approx-imately 3,259 acres of theSacandaga Lake be handedover to the state.

Aside from relaxing andspending time with hisfriends and family, including11-year old daughter SierraAnn, Thompson is lookingforward to “squashing mis-conceptions about Iraq” whenhe comes home.

Monday, Gary Mitchell, thedirector and choreographer,had called and requested thatI be cast for the musical in-stead. It all worked out, whichI am very grateful for.”

Brown is currently per-forming in the show eighttimes a week.

“We have Mondays andTuesdays off, and we do twoshows on Wednesdays,Saturdays, and Sundays,” saidBrown. “I prepare myself foreach show with some time atthe gym and a skinny vanillalatte from Starbucks.”

“Kyle has wanted to beon stage since he was a littleboy,” said his mother SheriBrown. “When he was 3years old, he used to watchPeter Pan, and he knew everydance and every song byheart. He got his first real rolewhen he was in fourth grade-the lead role in Pinocchio.He’s been doing this eversince.”

By high school, Brownwas so driven to be a per-former that he applied andwas accepted to performingarts high school Walnut Hillin Boston.

“His time in Boston wasinstrumental to his acceptanceto Cincinnati,” said Sheri.“We don’t have that kind ofpreparation around here. He’s

worked very hard and done itall on his own.”

Brown’s mom is “veryproud” of her son, and hastraveled often to see him per-form.

“I saw him in a lot of hisPittsburgh shows, and I wentdown to the city with mydaughter and her husband towatch him in his firstBroadway show. It was amaz-ing. He’s really talented and Idon’t just say that becausehe’s my son.”

Sheri is currently organiz-ing a bus trip to the PalaceTheater for Oct. 12. The bushas room for 55 people, andshe has already sold approxi-mately 30 tickets.

“We originally plannedthe trip for sometime inNovember, but there is a pos-sibility that Kyle may get castin a touring chorus line,”Sheri said. “It’s a lead role,and not that he doesn’t appre-ciate his role in ‘LegallyBlonde,’ this one would bemore active. We moved thebus trip so we were sure wecould see him on Broadway.”

No matter what role he isplaying, Brown adds a per-sonal touch to each characterhe portrays.

“I feel like I bring some-thing similar to every role —a piece of me.” J

CALENDAR OF EVENTS

By L.L. DECKERFor the Express

The October series, forthe next five weeks, will fea-ture folklore and historicalstories from Mayfield,Northville, Broadalbin, FishHouse, Conklinville, JacksonSummit, Edinburg, andBatchellerville. Starting theseries with grave stones andsymbolisms.

Over the centuries, gravestones have been constructedfrom a variety of differentmaterials. Wood, althoughabundant, didn’t weather well.Slate, used in the 1700’s, usu-ally shows little or no weath-ering. Headstones from the1800's that were made ofsandstone are usually in verybad shape. Since around 1900most headstones have beenmade from granite not easilyeroded in time.

Godfrey Shew was thefirst settler along theSacandaga River at FishHouse in 1771. The where-abouts of his remains are un-known. A story in referencesis found that he may havebeen scalped by Indians. Thereference notes conflictingdates. Shew’s date of deathwas years after the fighting ofthe Revolutionary War endedso this could be doubtful.

In the Northville SouthMain Street Cemetery is thegrave of Samuel Olmstead,first settler in 1788.Olmsteads stone is the firststone on the left as you walkthrough iron gates. Next tohim are also graves of hiswife and children. Impressivemonuments with symbolismsare found at this cemetery.

Clarkville Cemetery inEdinburg is the final restingplace of Samuel Downing oneof the last Revolutionary Warpensioners who died in 1867at 105 years old. Downingwas born in New Hampshire.At age sixteen Downing en-listed in the army and wassent with other enlisted toguard baggage wagons. Healso participated in the cam-paign that resulted in the sur-render of Burgoyne at theBattle of Saratoga. Downingtook much interest the CivilWar and frequently expresseda wish to have strengthenough to assist the govern-ment. He would have been 99years old then. Three ofDownings grandsons servedin the Union Army. TheClarkville Cemetery containsmany grave stones with won-derful symbolisms.

When land was clearedand leveled for Northville’sProspect Hill cemetery,Stephen Acker was hired forthe job. A notable builder andwho lived in Northville,Acker built the stone abut-ments under the first steelNorthville bridge in 1882,painted the 80 footPresbyterian church spire(which was removed in lateryears), and erected Hubbell’schimney.

In references it is writtenthat after Acker had finishedclearing and leveling the landhe had made a joke of some-one probably getting killedtrying to be the first one “in”the newly made resting place.Shortly thereafter Acker waskilled in a freak accident in-volving a pipe wrench whichfell on his head and was thefirst to be interred at ProspectHill Cemetery in 1883.

Also in Northville in1905 there was a graniteworks company operated byJames A. Cole. Horse-drawnwagons transported granitefrom a quarry in Hope toNorthville by to make gravestones.

In Mayfield in theRiceville cemetery are the

grave stones of Oliver Ricewho built the first and onlyclothiers mill in the area. Amemorial stone was set at theroadsides edge of the ceme-tery for Revolutionary WarCaptain Solomon Woodworthand Sergeant John Dunham.Other members of theWoodworth family are buriedthere.

Symbolism on grave-stones convey messages whenwords might not be adequate.Here are a few of the morecommon symbols and theirgenerally accepted meanings:anchor—hope (“Hope is theanchor of the soul ”), arrowsor darts—mortality, birds—the soul, handshake-farewellto earthly existence, ivy—memory and fidelity, lamp—truth; knowledge, picks andshovels—mortality, skele-tons—mortality, skull

(winged)—the flight of thesoul from the mortal body,sun rising—renewed life, sunsetting—eternal death,sword—martyrdom; courage,wheat—time; the divine har-vest (often used to denote oldage), willow—grief

Grave stone art can bepreserved by a process knownas rubbing. Pellon fabric iswrapped around the stone andfasted with masking tape.Then rubbing wax is appliedin an even pressure rubbing in

one direction until the area iscovered. Then the fabric is re-moved and cut to size.

One of the greatest ad-vantages of a headstone rub-bing is that it can reveal intri-cate details on a headstonethat are nearly invisible to thenaked eye. Various rubbingshave revealed ornamental pat-terns, dates and lettering afterthe process is completed.

Brandon Bush hitting his stride for B-PCSBy PAUL ANTONELLIFor the Express

BROADALBIN — It took a whilefor Brandon Bush to learn how to usehis new Taylor Made RAC TD steelshaft irons, but once the Broadalbin-Perth senior worked out some of thedifficulties of hitting with forged irons,his golf game soared to new heights.

He began to hit draws, fades andcan now hit an approach shot into thegreen with controlling spin.

Of course, his scores have plum-meted as well.

Bush fired two rounds of even-par32 recently at Holland Meadows put-ting the 5-foot-11 ballstriker in solidcontention to make a run at a sectionaltitle. Johnstown’s Andy Rathbun is theonly golfer to ever break par at thecourse.

“The greens there are really smallso you have to play British Open-likegolf,” Bush said. “You bump every-thing and let it roll to the green.”

Bush has been a varsity golfersince the eighth grade and has beenthe team’s No. 1 player for the pastthree seasons. He upgraded his game

over the summer, playing at famedTBC Sawgrass — site of the PlayersChampionship. He played from theback tees and at 7,405 yards andfound the course to be a monumentaltest. Yet he was able to par the 424-yard Par 4 10th hole and the difficult462-yard, Par 4, 18th hole. He fin-ished the round with an 85.

“Playing that course made me abetter golfer,” said Bush, who candrive a golf ball close to 300 yards.

“You play that course and you can’thelp but think of all the greats whohave played there.”

Bush, a two-time FoothillsCouncil All-Star, is gearing up for theSection II Class B Tournament, Oct. 2at Saratoga State Spa Park. The top 14advance to the Section II Tournamentslated to take place a week later atOrchard Creek in Altamont. The topeight there will advance to the statechampionship to be held next spring.

B-P golf coach Eric Sengenbergerhas been with Bush every step of theway.

“Brandon has steadily improved inhis 5 years on the varsity,”Sengenberger said. “He can play awide variety of shots, and has goodtouch around the greens. Over the pastyear, he has practiced and played withgreater focus and purpose — he’d liketo play in college and pursue a careerin the golf business — and he’s taken aleadership role on a very young team.”

Bush is also a member of the B-Pbasketball team and may shift to pointguard following the graduation ofleading scorer Dan Schulz. ButSengenberger feels Bush has a brightfuture on the links. Bush currentlyholds a 37.8 stroke average this fall.

“I think the real key to his playthis year is that his genuine confi-dence has caught up to his physicaltalent,” Sengenberger said “There’s abig difference between thinking youcan play well under pressure, andknowing you can. Once you know youcan, you develop a calmness thatmakes it even easier — that’s whereBrandon is heading now.” J

Paul AntonelliB-PCS senior Brandon Bush will play in the Section II Class B tournament Thursday.

Some of you are stillheavily into the fishing sceneand that’s understandablesince this time of year offerssome of the very best fishingpotential we’ve seen since lastMay.

The statewide bass seasoncloses on November 30 butjust about everything else youmight want to fish for inGreat Sacandaga Lake re-mains open throughout the icefishing season.

The walleye and northernpike seasons don’t close untilMarch 15 and even trout maybe taken year-round in thelake, though there are somerestrictions on where you canfish for trout between March16 and the opening of thewalleye season on the firstSaturday in May, but those re-strictions apply to streams en-tering the lake, not the lake it-self.

These restrictions are inplace to provide a measure ofprotection for walleyes whichmay enter these streams tospawn in March and April.You can get details on thoserestrictions on page 57 in the2006-2008 FreshwaterFishing Regulations bookletyou received when youbought your new licenses.

The hunting seasons havealso arrived and there are al-ready loads of opportunitiesto spend some quality timeafield.

For example, thestatewide squirrel, crow andearly goose seasons openedon September 1. The earlygoose season has sinceclosed, on September 25 to beexact, but the other seasonsremain. Also, the ruffedgrouse season in the northernzone opened on September20.

For big game hunters, theEarly Bear season opened inthe northern zone onSeptember 13 and the north-ern zone big game bowhunt-ing season opened on

September 27. There are a number of

season openings today, in-cluding: fall turkeys in thenorthern and southern zones;varying hare (snowshoe rab-bit) in the northern zone; cot-tontail rabbit in the northern,southern and western zones;ruffed grouse (partridge) inthe southern & western zones;pheasant in the eastern half ofNew York State; and thestatewide coyote hunting sea-son also opened today. Todayyour new 2008-2009 hunting,fishing and Trapping licensesalso went into effect.

Opening later this monthare the statewide woodcockseason on October 6; thenorthern zone muzzleloaderbig game season on October11; the northern zone regularbig game season on October18; and the southern zonebowhunting season, also onOctober 18.

Back on the subject ofwoodcock, they are consid-ered migratory but you don’tneed a federal migratory birdstamp to hunt them. However,you do need a HarvestInformation Program (HIP)number before going out after‘timberdoodles.’ You can geta number very easily andquickly by going to DEC’swebsite at: www.ny.hip.comor by calling 1-888-427-5447, toll-free. The entireprocess takes about five min-utes and that number will begood for a year. Just remem-ber to record that HIP numberon your license. Hunting mi-gratory birds without that re-quired HIP number is tanta-mount to hunting without a li-cense.

Next, don’t forget that the

annual fund raising dinner ofthe Foothills Friends of theNRA takes place this evening,beginning at 6 pm, at theJohnstown Holiday Inn onRoute 30A.

PHEASANT STOCKINGWith the pheasant season

opening today, here’s whereyou’ll need to go to find thebirds released recently by theDepartment of EnvironmentalConservation.

In Fulton County birds

were released in the Ephrataharea on Route 140 west of thevillage of Ephratah; and onRoute 67 near the EphratahRod & Gun Club. In SaratogaCounty, State birds were re-leased in Greenfield in theDaketown State Forest; and inMontgomery County theywere released at several loca-tions including Canajoharieon Seeber’s Lane; ClintonRoad north and east of NestleRoad intersection; Old SharonRoad between Mapletownand Tubbs Road; north ofClinton Road and east ofRoute 163; and Maring Roadnear Route 89. In theCanajoharie/Minden area theywere released on Nestle Roadand in Palatine they were re-

leased on McKinley Roadnear Oswegatchie.

Remember that some ofthese birds were released onprivate land that’s open tohunting but with the permis-sion of the landowner. Whenin doubt, ask for permissionfirst.

THE DUES ARE DUEHere’s a reminder that an-

nual dues for 2009 for theFish House Fish & GameClub must be paid by the endof October. The club meetsthe first Tuesday of everymonth and current andprospective members are en-courages to attend the nextregular monthly meetingwhich will be held onTuesday, October 7. J
