Sgt. James F. Carty, DSC VFW Post 1545

I hope that everyone has a great time this July 4th. Our country is almost at the 250-year anniversary. I hope to see everyone on the parade route. Thank you to Windham Hose Co. #1 for sponsoring the parade as they have for years. 

This brings me to the fact that VFW Post 1545 has been in the Town of Windham since 1928. In 3 short years we will celebrate our 100th anniversary.

Our post has had WWI, WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War, the War on Terror, Iraq War and the Afghanistan War veterans in our ranks along the way. We thank everyone  in the community for your support along the way. 

One thing I would like to touch on is community. We are very fortunate to live in this community. It has so much to offer.

Yes there’s a ski slope, golf courses, great restaurants, fantastic views, and for the most part, quiet. I have met so many beautiful people here that are caring and considerate, and care for each other. 

Recently, our post suffered a great loss with the passing of Linda Varelas. I came to know Linda and her husband Jim through the VFW, where they both served with quiet dedication and strong community spirit.

Jim, a proud Korean War veteran, has long been a cornerstone of our post. Linda, equally devoted, was a charter member of our Auxiliary, and her commitment to service was an inspiration to all who knew her.

At Linda’s funeral, the outpouring of love and support from the community was deeply moving. The service was not just a farewell—it was a true celebration of a life lived with faith, compassion, and selflessness. 

Linda’s deep belief in God and her generous heart touched so many, and her memory will remain a blessing.

I know I speak for many when I say she will be deeply missed. As we remember Linda, we also keep Jim in our prayers, asking for comfort and peace in the days ahead.

VFW National Legislative Associate Director Nancy Springer submitted a statement for the record for a House Veterans’ Affairs Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs hearing on pending legislation. 

The hearing reviewed 12 bills addressing issues including burial and survivor benefits, an annual report on veterans’ causes of death, enhanced access to benefits for rural veterans, hiring preferences for Veterans Law Judges, and improvements to the VA claims and appeals processes.

A key piece of legislation that includes provisions that the VFW has asked for and commented on in previous testimony is H.R. 3983, Veterans Claims Quality Improvement Act of 2025. It would enhance the accuracy, efficiency, and overall effectiveness of the claims and appeals processes through data-driven training initiatives and strengthened quality assurance protocols. 

This week’s POW/MIA: The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency announced today that U.S. Army Air Forces 1st Lt. George F. Bradbury, 22, of Georgia, killed during World War II, was accounted for Dec. 19, 2024. In the fall of 1943, Bradbury served as a navigator aboard a B-24 Liberator bomber with 858th Bombardment Squadron, 492nd Bombardment Group, Eighth Air Force. The unit was engaged in Operation CARPETBAGGER, a series of secret missions in which several specially designated bomb groups dropped supplies, arms, equipment, leaflets, U.S. Office of Strategic Services and French agents to resistance groups operating in northern France. On Sept. 16, 1944, Bradbury’s crew was scheduled to fly its final mission to drop supplies to resistance forces 40 miles east of the Moselle River. 115th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Gun Battalion, an American artillery unit stationed near Lebeuville, France, mistook Bradbury’s B-24 for an enemy aircraft and opened fire upon it, killing six of the eight crew members onboard, including Bradbury. 

On the morning of Sept. 17, 1944, American soldiers recovered the remains discovered at the crash site, along with identification tags belonging to four of the crewmembers. Of the eight crew members aboard, two successfully parachuted to safety, while four were resolved through remains found at the crash site. Two were left unaccounted for, one of which was Bradbury.

In 2013, a DPAA investigative team visited Bainville-aux-Miroirs, France, where they gathered information from local informants and surveyed the area where the B-24 crashed. From Oct. 16 through Nov. 16, 2021, DPAA partner Geoscope Services, Ltd. excavated the site and recovered remains and evidence, all of which was accessioned into the DPAA laboratory.

To identify Bradbury’s remains, scientists from DPAA used dental and anthropological analysis, as well as material evidence. Additionally, scientists from the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System used mitochondrial DNA, Y chromosome, and autosomal DNA analysis. Bradbury will be buried in Ranburne, Alabama in October 2025.

Remember to keep all our troops still serving and our veterans in your thoughts and prayers. God Bless America.

Morrison Honored for Decades of Service

Glenn Morrison (right) was honored with a “thank-you” plaque by the town of Windham for his 31 years of work in emergency medical services, last week. Making the presentation was town supervisor Thomas Hoyt.

“Man of the Hour,” Glenn Morrison (seated, holding plaque) is surrounded by emergency medical services, volunteer firefighting and law enforcement  colleagues from Windham, Ashland and Hunter at a fond bidding adieu gathering, last Thursday night.

By Michael Ryan

WINDHAM - The colleagues of Glenn Morrison packed the parking spots outside the Windham town hall, last Thursday evening, for a respectful professional sendoff.

Morrison is leaving local emergency medical services after 14 years as a paramedic with the Windham ambulance corps and 15 with the Greene County Emergency Medical Services flycars.

“We are truly going to miss Glenn,” Windham ambulance director Davia Montie said after a special “Plaque of Appreciation” was presented to Morrison by Windham town supervisor Thomas Hoyt.

“Glenn has literally saved many lives,” Montie said. “He is compassionate, calm under fire and has all the qualities of leadership and mentorship.”

Greene County’s loss will be Tennessee’s gain. Morrison and his girlfriend, Amber Hunlock, are relocating to the Volunteer State where both will be continuing their respective careers.

Amber is a practicing nurse and quarter-century member of the Haines Falls fire department, not necessarily wanting to say goodbye to the mountains, departing moreso out of necessity.

“I’ve been working one-hundred hours a week, like a lot of us are doing in this field just to make ends meet. Even with all that, it’s too hard to find a place we can afford to live around here,” Morrison said.

“We did some research. The cost of living in Tennessee is 40-to-50 percent less expensive, and we won’t be shoveling snow anymore,” Morrison said.

They will be settling in Chattanooga. “It’s a thriving area. Their program for relocation is highly beneficial for experienced providers,” Morrison said.

Originally from Cooperstown, he started out as a 911 dispatcher in Otsego and Delaware counties and was formerly the Delaware County Fire and Emergency Management deputy director and EMS coordinator.

Experience runs deep in his veins. “I have a family history in firefighting and emergency medical services,” Morrison said.

His total commitment, though, rests deeper still. “My dad was a firefighter. He died in the line of duty when I was five years old,” Morrison said.

As you read this, Glenn and Amber will already have left the Catskills, heading out this past Monday with Glenn scheduled to have his first Tennessee shift on July 7.

“This shocked me,” Morrison said of his compatriots from units in Windham, Ashland and Hunter who drove their ambulances, police cruisers and firetrucks to the plaque presentation for the Man of the Hour.

“I got into this to be a public servant, not draw any attention to myself. But coming like this from my co-workers, who understand what answering the call is all about, I feel truly honored,” Morrison said.

In other matters:

—Town council members, on the recommendation of Windham police chief Richard Selner, approved the purchase of a new police department vehicle.

The 2025, all-wheel drive Dodge Durango Pursuit, costs 50 cents less than $39,667, obtained from Sawyer Motors in Saugerties.

—Town council members approved a request from theTown of Windham Democratic Party to hold their political caucus on July 21, between 7-9 p.m., at the municipal building in Hensonville.

Republicans caucused in April, selecting candidates for six positions including town supervisor, town justice, highway superintendent, tax collector and two seats on the town council.

Among their choices were incumbent town supervisor Thomas Hoyt and town justice Marilyn Carreras, nominated for a full 4-year term after being appointed to replace Judge Carol Stevens, who has retired.

Also chosen to run in November were Robert “BJ” Murray for highway superintendent, potentially replacing Gary Thorington who has also announced his retirement after 30-plus years with the department.

A pair of longtime incumbents, Wayne Van Valin and Ian Peters, were selected to return to their respective town council seats. Incumbent Katherine Murray was nominated again to be tax collector.

Local resident Connor Exum, earlier this year, announced he was running for town supervisor, saying, “it is time for a change in Windham. For too long Windham has been monopolized by a single political vision.”

Local History with Dede Terns-Thorpe - Town of Hunter Tidbits

This week we’ll chat about a few of the Town of Hunter tidbits during the ice harvesting industry. With July 4th approaching I thought it would be a good time to share a bit of Hunter’s refrigeration history. I’ve written before on the subject but with the holiday, I thought we could use a reminder of how life used to be.  

Field Horne wrote in his Greene County Catskills: A History. Ice harvesting was already popular in most Greene County towns when Hunter joined the industry. It was tough business, working 10-12 hours a day in the bitter cold. The Mountain Top

 took advantage of their lakes, with South Lake being the busiest lake being used for ice harvesting. South Lake provided the railroads with the ice needed for transporting goods. One example was the daily shipment of products from the Hunter Creamery, owned by Mr. Samuels of N.Y.C. Sadly, it burned in May 1926, after 25 years of production.  The Creamery brought a loss of $35,000 (about $619,000.00 today). 

The harvesting typically began in January, ensuring the ice was about a foot deep; safe enough to hold the weight of workers, teams of horses, and the equipment.  

Horne explained that the first ice blocks, or ice cakes, were cut with a hand saw. If snow was on the ice, it was cleared away or pushed into the water after removing the ice cake. He said some of the ice blocks weighed 300 pounds, and endless chain elevators

 driven by 25 to 36 horsepower engines were used to lift into storage ice houses.  

The industry gradually slowed and came to an end in the 1950s. Many ice houses had burned; sawdust insulation kept the houses as dry as timber.  

It was the continuous pollution and sewage dumped into the rivers that helped to speed up the process of affordable refrigerators. The first refrigerator was attempted in 1913 but failed. By 1927 General Electric made the Monitor Top refrigerator available but costly. That year it sold for $525.00, or $7,900 in today’s money.  

By 1945, just after WW II, modern mass-produced refrigerators became available. By 1950, about 90% of homes owned a refrigerator. 

So, as we bite into our July 4th burger or hot dog, we might want to take a minute to appreciate how difficult it was to get the refrigeration that we expect today! 

Have a happy 4th of July. 

Be safe and stay well.

Veterans Trek Over Nine Miles, Camp Out at ASF's WIM Backpacking Event

WINDHAM — Despite a sweltering heat wave, four U.S. veterans hiked more than nine miles and summited two mountain peaks during the Adaptive Sports Foundation’s (ASF) Warriors in Motion® (WIM) backpacking event, held June 24–26.

This was the first WIM event attended by U.S. Navy veteran Cristian Cantos, who welcomed the challenge.

“This was my first hike. We did over nine miles, and I’m very proud of myself,” Cantos said. “The veterans I spent time with were wonderful. I made some great friends. I loved it. I hope I can return.”

The four veterans met with program director Tony Vasile and the ASF staff at noon Tuesday at the Gwen Allard Adaptive Sports Center. After lunch, Vasile briefed the group on the three-day trek, demonstrated how to properly pack their backpacks and emphasized the importance of staying hydrated in 90-plus-degree heat.

Once packed, the group was dropped off at the Batavia Kill trailhead and began a 1.3-mile hike to the Batavia Kill lean-to. The rocky, rooted trail served as a preview of the terrain ahead.

After an evening around the campfire—sharing stories and listening to owls and coyotes—the group woke early Wednesday to beat the heat. By 5:15 a.m., they had packed up and begun the steep 1,000-foot climb over 0.9 miles up the back of Blackhead Mountain, one of the more challenging ascents in the region.

After descending Blackhead, the group crossed Arizona Mountain before heading down through Dutcher Notch to Colgate Lake. They reached the primitive campsites shortly after noon, set up camp and cooled off in the lake. Wednesday’s hike covered more than eight miles.

The group had a slower start Thursday, leaving Colgate Lake around 8:30 a.m. to return to Windham. They stopped for breakfast at the Windham Diner before heading back to the ASF lodge to clean up and depart for home.

“It’s very important for me to get out of my daily routine,” Cantos said. “It helps us vets relax and talk to each other with similar issues going on. It’s very peaceful for me.”

Through grants and private donations, the ASF provides participants with all necessary equipment, meals, lodging, water bottles, sunscreen, bug spray, ponchos, and printed and digital maps—at no cost to the veterans.

Outdoors with Larry DiDonato - Why Early Summer Brings More Bear Sightings

DEC Wilidlife recently posed the question; “If you think bears have been in the news more than usual lately, you’re right. Early summer usually brings a bumper crop of news stories about bears appearing in places they’re not typically seen, from backyards and suburban streets to residential communities. So, where are the bears going?” 

They answered their own rhetorical question stating bears who show up in places causing potential conflict with humans this time of year fall into three categories:

1. Juvenile male bears that denned up with their moms last winter and got booted out this spring. 

2. Adult male bears are roaming far and wide in search of a mate. 

3. New moms who have lots of mouths to feed. 

 Regarding the first category, juvenile male black bears, who are about 18 months old, are just trying to figure out how and where to live on their own. These juveniles who lived their entire lives close to their mothers are kicked out by the sow at this time, forcing them to establish their own territory to find food, shelter and eventually a mate. “Juvenile female bears, however, are often allowed to move in next door to their moms, so most wandering bears are males.”  The young male bears are always hungry and typically lack the survival skills of an adult bear. They “…will check out anything that seems as if it might be a source of food.” This includes full as well as empty garbage cans, bird feeders, and coolers. 

 It's here, the human response to bears in their yard is important. The simple rule for home owners with problem bears is, remove the food, and you’ve removed the bear. If they don’t get a food reward and instead get some type of negative reinforcement, that will solve the problem in almost all instances. Negative reinforcement includes making loud noise with pots pans or airhorns, the family dog barking, and in persistent problem cases, giving the bear a round of rubber buckshot in the rump when permitted. 

 Ways to discourage bears from getting into garbage include keeping pails inaccessible to bears and out of sight, then put out only just prior to pick-up. If possible, keep pails in a shed surrounded by rags soaked in ammonia. Separately clean the interior of the pails with bleach and rinsed with water to control food liquid and rotten odors. 

*Never mix ammonia with bleach as that creates a poisonous compound highly toxic to humans and animals. 

 Other home attractants include grease traps and food remnants left in barbeques, and unfettered access to pet foods. One case in Palenville had an unusual natural attractant contributing to a nuisance bear problem. It consisted of a large colony of grubs and ants colonizing a large rock retaining wall which several bears summarily dismantled. That problem was solved using pesticides to kill the grub and ant colonies. That homeowner had a fairly serious bear problem and was forced to address it by obtaining a permit to shoot bears with rubber buck shot with a proscription to remove all possible natural and human-sourced attractants. The homeowner’s actions upon the advice of DEC Wildlife and Environmental Conservation Officers seems to be working well so far. 

So, DEC summarizes the “carrot and stick” method of keeping bears away from your home in this way; “If they quickly discover that human places should be avoided, they will be forced to learn to support themselves as wild bears. If they find the backyard pickings are easy, they start down a road that is often a dead end for them.”

 Getting back to discussing the second category, where adult male bears roam long distances in search of a mate, black bears may mate several times in early summer. In their travels, it’s not unusual to see or have an encounter with a big boar. While they actively and opportunistically feed during this time, their minds are on another activity. Female bears typically remain in their home range which forces the males to cover long distances in search of them. 

 The last category, new moms who have lots of mouths to feed, points to the fact that sows with cubs, who rely upon her for their survival, must continuously seek food sources. That can include natural forage as well as human sources. 

“Natural spring and early summer food sources such as grasses and developing plants are just not as calorie-dense and nutritious as the nuts and fruits that ripen later in the year. So, mother bears often need to travel further from their dens looking for food.” 

 Cubs are intelligent, adaptable, and learn quickly. If their mom shows them great tasting food comes from pails of garbage, bird feeders, and pet food found on the other side of swinging pet doors, ”… it creates a whole new generation of problems for people and bears.” 

 If on the other hand, they fail to get access to human sourced food and the cubs are taught how to make due with what nature provides, human-bear conflicts can be avoided at the outset. 

*Be extra-vigilant during this extra-critical time. 

Follow the At-Home BearWise Basics at https://bearwise.org/six-bearwise-basics/ and use the BearWise At-Home Checklist at https://bearwise.org/ , make sure there’s nothing around your property or home that will attract bears.

At the risk of being cliché, let’s sum it all up with some common-sense advice: 

Be “Bear Wise” Remove the food, remove the bear  Don’t approach bears  Don’t feed bears

Happy Independence Day and happy hunting, fishing, and trapping until next time!
