B5 LOCAL OBITUARIES Boat restriction draws sharp criticism Elaine Susan Harrin9ton 'V GREENWICH BROO KLINE, Putnam of Brookline; Putnam of Brookline; Associated Press N.H. Elaine Sjsan Harrington, damaged the fishery and ruined the quality of life for those who live along the Batten Kill. "As a fisherman, I feel like a second-class citizen." said Gary Sweet, a member of the Friends. Fisheries biologist Kenneth Cox testified that he could find no scientific link between a documented decline in trout and river traffic. Cox said the fall-off in fishing was more likely the result of environmental factors that have not been identified.

And noting that a similar decline occurred in the 1950s when the river was stocked with fish, Cox suggested that the Batten Kill may be experiencing a natural decrease in the number of its now wild trout. "Populations do go through some cycles," he said. Cox said he did not believe the proposed regulations would solve the conflict between anglers and floaters because canoes are rarely on the river before 10 a.m. or much after 5 p.m., the best hours for fishing, according to Cox. Donald Keelan, president of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce, also testified against the proposed regulations, saying his organization would only support voluntary time limits on the river.

Keelan said the Friends must realize that tourists the Batten KM Irings to town are a major source of income. Jim Saxton, executive director of the Professional Paddle Sports Association, said the concessions that local liveries had already made to Batten Kill anglers were Sinpreccdented." Saxton said his group was "prepared to do whateer is necessary" to ensure continued access to the Batten Kill ARLINGTON, Vt A proposal to limit the use of canoes and inner tubes on the Batten Kill has drawn sharp criticism for those who use the river for recreation other than fishing. More than 100 people attended a public hearing presented before the Water Resources Board on Tuesday night to oppose the regulations on the famous trout stream. "I think the river should be for everybody's use," said Raymond Smith of Arlington. "It's a public river." The board's hearing was in response to a petition from Friends of the Batten Kill, which hopes to ban canoes and inner tubes from the river Tuesdays through Thursdays and limit them to 10 a.m.

to 4 p.m. the rest of the week.

'Rocky' Daniels By Mike Curtin Special to The Post-Star SARATOGA SPRINGS Like his fabled "Whiskey River," Willie Nelson keeps a flowin', and in the broad and fertile watershed that is American music, he remains one of its most powerful tributaries. Any evening lolling next to his waters, like Tuesday at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, is time well spent.

Mind you, he's far from a pastoral brook, rather one prone to overspill his banks now and then, but still he remains a source inviting and comforting in his unyielding adherence to a storied tradition too often lost in a nation obsessed with endless youth and jarring dislocation. Now 65, Nelson surrounded himself with old compadres. Pianist and sister Bobbie Nelson, drummer Paul English, harmonicist Mickey Raphael and supporting guitarist Jody Payne because Nelson still summons the most marvelously lyrical lead lines from his beat-up acoustic box) have played with him longer than current country music superstars like LeAnn Rimes and Bryan White have walked, crawled or gurgled on this earth. It's a camaraderie that allowed for their free and easy feeling to infect the 4,000 die-hard signature songs like "Luckenbach, Texas," "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys" and "Poncho and Lefty," the latter dedicated to its composer, the late Townes Van Zandt. Refreshingly unobtrusive and unfailingly sympathetic, Nelson's band still had its moments in the solo spotlight, most notably Payne's rendition of Merle Haggard's "Working Man Blues" and Raphael's drawn, autumnal refrains on "Stardust" and "Georgia on my Mind." The man who sang "Stay all night, stay a little longer" was true to his word, capping his two-hour performance with a hefty seven-song encore, including a stunning reading of Rodney Crowell's "Til 1 Gain Control Again." Unlike too many artists whose shows are scripted to bloodless perfection, Nelson appeared to relish every second on stage.

The Texas and American flags that served as the backdrop for his concert overstated the obvious. Born a son of the Lone Star State, through dogged perseverance and a boundless talent, Nelson has become, in the September of his years, a national icon. Like Billie Holiday, Louis Armstong, Hank Williams and Frank Sinatra, we'll never see his like again. Enjoy this no longer "red-headed stranger" while he's still with us. fans in attendance.

Nelson performed his classic compositions in lax but never lackadaisical arrangements. "Crazy" and "Night Life" hits for Patsy Cline and Rusty Draper, respectively, in the golden age of country-western music, evoked the dark, haunting beauty of a honky-tonk at closing time. A medley of Kris Kristofferson's "Help me Make it Through the Night," "Me and Bobbie McGee" and "Lovin' Her Was Easier Than Anything I've Ever Done Before" reaffirmed his status as one of the master interpreters of his time. He sketched with a blue hue on sublime versions of "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" (from his 1976 breakthrough album "Red-Headed and the pop standard "Blue Skies." On both he toyed with the melody, darting ahead, lagging behind, taking paths far from the pat and predictable. On "All of Me," he recast the pop masterpiece as a breezy bit of Western swing But as much as he wandered through the Great American Songbook, he returned again and again to the modern Western ethos he faithfully represented in the heyday of "outlaw music" on CORINTH Roscoe L.

"Rocky" Daniels, 94, of Rt. 9N, died Wednesday, Aug. 5, 1998, at the Eden Park Nursing Home in Glens Falls. Born on June 25, 1904, in Queensbury, he was the son of the late Leonard and Ester (Colts) Daniels. Mr.

Daniels was first employed as a logger in the Corinth area for several years. He also worked at the International Paper Company in Corinth, was employed at the Queensbury Hotel as a boilerman, and worked for the Glens Falls Iron Works. Mr. Daniels was also self-employed for many years as a car salesman and during his later years enjoyed fixing and repairing bicycles. He resided with his wife, Gladys in Corinth for several years.

She died Jan. 14, 1984, following several years of marriage. Mr. Daniels attended the Rockwell Falls Presbyterian Church of Lake Luzerne for several years. He is survived by his good friends, Joel and Joanne Jenkins of Corinth and their family; one stepdaughter, Grace Bosworth of Myrtle Beach, S.C.; and one step-grandson, Thomas Harvey of Sayreville, N.J.

Services will be conducted at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Densmore Funeral Home, 7 Sherman Corinth with the Rev. Thomas Parsons, pastor of the Rockwell Falls Presbyterian Church of Lake Luzerne, officiating. Burial will be at Glens Falls Cemetery. Friends may call from 1 1 a.m.

Village Board to revise zoning regulations LilaPond By Evan Lawrence Correspondent CAMBRIDGE The Village Board decided Monday that it wants to move ahead with revising village zoning regulations and writing subdivision regulations. Mayor Robert Shay said he, Trustee Richard Feus, Planning Board Chairman Mark Burton and Zoning Board Chairman David Henry will review the zoning laws to see which sections most need updating.

Robert Brooks of the county Planning Department has promised to help the village draw up specifications so it can advertise for consultants' bids to revise those sections. The board also put subdivision regulations on its agenda for September. The village does not now regulate subdivisions. A proposed set of regulations was given to the Planning Board for review last year but no action was taken. Village Attorney Michael Catalfimo said the Village Board doesn't need the consent of the Planning Board to approve the regulations.

A public hearing, however, must be held before the board votes. In other Village Board business: The opening of the senior citizens housing project has been postponed from Sept, 1 to Oct. 1 Shay said. Although the building will be completed by Sept. 1, the developer wants to wait until the grounds are finished as well, he said.

The board rejected a $300 bill from Cambridge Water Works, the village's water supplier, for a new hydrant at the entrance to the apartments. Shay said the developer paid for the hydrant, its installation, and a water line to supply it. Trustee Ron Crepeau, a member of the committee drafting mobile home regulations, said he is looking for at least one more member for the committee. Trustee Daniel Walsh and Zoning Board Chairman David Henry are also on the committee. The board authorized Police Chief George Bell to spend $2,392 for department uniforms.

Bell said he will use a $2,000 check from the Washington County Sheriff Department and $392 from the department's budget to buy shirts, pants, name tags and collar emblems. The board approved Explorer Post graduate Eric Kenyon as the newest member of the Cambridge Volunteer Fire Department. The board discussed building a new village office after Village Clerk-Treasurer Linda Record said she's running out of storage space for records. The village rents an office at the old Union School on Memorial Drive and keeps records there and at the Department of Public Works building behind it. The board gave Record permission to attend a records management seminar on Aug.

Maranville, 75, of San Diego, died Tuesday, July 28, 1998, at Paradise Valley Hospital. Born April 12, 1923, in Fort Edward, he was the son of Walter Maranville and Alice (Galusha) Maranville.

He lived in San Diego for 26 years. Mr. Maranville was owner and operator of On-Site Cleaners in San Diego, Calif. He was inducted in the service Dec. 14, 1942, was in World War II and discharged Oct.

The Blue Line Council, a coalition of private property owners in the Adirondack Park, has estimated that 100 jobs from the timber and related industries would be lost if the parcel is absorbed into the state Forest Preserve. Timber harvesting is forbidden on state Forest Preserve lands under the "forever wild" clause in the state constitution. Environmentalists, on the other hand, predict a boost in tourism jobs would result if the state purchased the scenic river corridors and opened them to public recreational use.

Champion officials have indicated the company will seek the best price for its land, rather than giving the state preferential treatment among a host of potential buyers, leaving interests on both sides of the issue anticipating a fierce bidding war. With $78 million earmarked in this year's state budget for open space protection projects, local officials fear the state could price local timber companies out of the bargaining process. "The private sector is being forced out of the market by the deep pockets of the state. We lose all the way around," said Crown Point Supervisor Dale R. French at Monday's meeting.

Environmentalists, citing a provision that bars the state from paying more than fair market value for the property, fear just the opposite result of stiff competition. Coupled with the significant private sector interest, county supervisors cite a minimal development threat to the parcel and a lack of demonstrated need to expand the existing 3-million-acre state Forest Preserve as reasons why there is "no reasonable basis for the state to pursue acquisition" of the parcel. In other Essex County business on Monday, supervisors: Authorized the Essex County Development Agency to issue up to $2 million in tax-exempt bonds to International Paper Co. An upcoming project, expected to cost about $1.85 million, will involve a new landfill cell and closing the current cell, which is almost full, at the company's Ticonderoga paper mill site, said IDA Director Allen K. Dunham.

Reappointed county Superintendent of Public Works Frederick H. Buck to a new four-year term beginning Sept. 27. Discontinued a $150 charge for a public records search and legal services involved with initiating a installment plan for delinquent payments of county property taxes. By Maury Thompson Correspondent ELIZABETHTOWN The Essex County Board of Supervisors has thrown its weight behind an effort to sour the state's appetite for buying what environmentalists describe as some of the most breathtaking hiking and canoe country in the Northeast.

In a unanimous vote Monday, county officials called on Gov. George E. Pataki to take all steps necessary to ensure that 40,000 acres of forest land that straddles the banks of the St. Regis and other rivers in several northern Adirondack counties remains in active forestry production under private ownership. The state Department of Environmental Conservation is working with a national conservation group in a effort to acquire the parcel, which is a portion of about 144,000 acres put up for sale last year by Champion International Co.

"State acquisition of these lands creates the potential for significant public harm, especially economic harm," states a board resolution proposed by Newcomb Supervisor George H. Canon.

Saunders, 40, of Fort Edward was arrested in July 1997 after authorities learned he had driven a sport utility vehicle loaded with 200 pounds of marijuana from San Diego to Washington County two months earlier. He was allegedly paid $5,000.

Saunders' defense lawyer, Thomas J. O'Hern, said Wednesday he also has yet to hear whether federal prosecutors would seek to have Saunders charged again. O'Hern has questioned whether the U.S. attorney's office had a conflict of interest in the case, but Maroney said his office would continue to handle it. if it wanted.

U.S. Attorney Thomas J. Maroney would not disclose Wednesday whether it would. "We will certainly consider our options as to whether we should re-present it," he said. "(But) We don't discuss our investigations with the media." U.S.
