NORTH CREEK „ North Creek Business Alliance officials will continue their free ski shuttle this winter between Gore Mountain and the downtown business district „ including sweeps to area lodging facilities and the Ski Bowl Park „ but they wonÍ t be needing the services of Brant Lake Taxi anymore.

For the past four winters, the Business Alliance has used Warren County Occupancy Tax funds to hire Brant Lake Taxi for the ski shuttle. This year, the

group will be using $26,000 in Occupancy Tax money „ granted from the county and the town of Johnsburg „ to buy two 14-passenger buses.

With the buses and the AllianceÍ s six-passenger electric golf cart used to transport visitors between the train station and businesses along Main Street in the summer, the business group will soon have its own fleet of vehicles. ñ If weÍ re going to be a true destination town, these kind of services have to be available,î said Business Alliance President and co-chairman Michael Bowers, who owns and operates the barVino restaurant on Main Street. ñ The whole idea is to put heads back

into beds. And what we have to do is create ourselves as a destination. People have to want to come here and spend a night. And people spend the night because there are restaurants, shops, transportation, whitewater rafting, hiking, fishing, skiing, all these things we do.î One bus, a 2005 Ford, has already been purchased.

Hamilton County set to hire ROOST for tourism promotion

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com LAKE PLEASANT „ Members of the Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Thursday, Nov. 7 were expected to vote on hiring the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism (ROOST), based in Lake Placid, to manage its tourism marketing program for 2014.

ROOST/Lake Placid Convention and Visitors Bureau „ formerly known as the Lake Placid/ Essex County Visitors Bureau „ currently provides tourism marketing for Essex County, the towns of North Elba and Harrietstown, and the villages of Lake Placid and Saranac Lake. Now the group is poised to add Hamilton County to its roster. ñ Obviously the two counties worked together in a pretty powerful way on Adirondack Day in Albany, so weÍ ve done some events and weÍ ve got some experience working together,î said Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Farber. ñ And I think it could be a really exciting time for us.î This move by the Hamilton County supervisors represents a split in the current county position of economic development and tourism director, which includes planning services on the county Industrial Development Agency.

The Hamilton County website lists many services provided by the office: websites, lodging, advertising, promotional literature, events, I Love NY matching funds, research, travel information, small business support, startups, expansion, financing, loans, advice, business and marketing plans, and regulatory assistance.

That’s a lot for one tiny office.

County supervisors are now re-evaluating the position after Economic Development and Tourism Director Ann Melious left the job earlier in the year and moved to California. Bill Osborne, who retired from the position in January 2011, has been filling in temporarily. When Osborne had the job, Farber said it was difficult for one person to find the correct balance between managing economic development and tourism. It seemed the county made great strides toward tourism marketing but more attention was needed for economic development. They found they were simply asking one person to do too much.

ñ We did fortunately, with the North Country Regional (Economic Development) Council, have some success on economic development money for broadband and some projects, so it isnÍ t as if we didnÍ t make headway,î Farber said. ñ But Ann had the same basic experience that Bill had ... WeÍ re going through another interview process, and weÍ re saying the exact same things that we did twice prior to the applicants.î It was time for a breather. In September, members of the countyÍ s Tourism and Economic Development Committee discussed splitting the jobs, even hiring someone else for tourism marketing. The supervisors decided to draft a request for proposals and see what options were available. ñ We said, wait a minute. ItÍ s time that we really took ourselves seriously and put the structure in line with what weÍ re saying,î Farber said. ñ How do we split this apart? How do we

create the kind of bandwidth and attention that is necessary on the economic development side so that we actually accomplish some of what weÍ re talking about? How do we put some emphasis on tourism destination planning and the need for lodging and some of those things that weÍ ve given a high priority to?î A resolution to accept ROOSTÍ s request for proposal (RFP) for the job was on the agenda for the Nov. 7 board meeting, and Osborne is expected to introduce ROOST Executive Direc-

tor Jim McKenna to the board before the vote.

Hamilton County received and opened four RFPs for the tourism marketing contract and members of the Tourism Committee reviewed them at their Oct. 29 meeting. ñ The Board of Supervisors has narrowed the field determining that the ROOST proposal offers the greatest benefit to Hamilton County,” the resolution states.

The contract is for an amount not to exceed $250,000, which includes $25,000 in administrative costs. The $250,000 is about the same amount currently spent on tourism in Hamilton County and includes matching state funds, according to Farber.

On Monday, Nov. 4, members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors unanimously gave their blessing to ROOSTÍ s RFP submission to take over the tourism marketing program in Hamilton County. McKenna sees tourism marketing in the Adirondack Park as a regional approach, not an ñ us-versus-themî tactic for counties to steal visitors from each other. ñ When we talk tourism and tourism marketing, the Adirondacks are the primary driver of why people come here,î McKenna said. ñ All of our research clearly shows that outdoor recreational activities are the No. 1 driver on a yearround basis.î By combining marketing efforts „ which is already happening with some outdoor recreation activities „ Hamilton and Essex counties can be more efficient.

“What we don’t want to see is inefficient use of duplication of efforts for the same messaging and the same type of marketing,î McKenna said. ñ I think everybodyÍ s starting to understand that consolidation from that point of view is a good thing.î The contract would be for one year, starting Jan. 1, 2014.

Johnsburg X-C update

By Coach Gary Wilson

NORTH CREEK „ The weather report was not for a smooth running day. The clouds, the wind and the sleet/rain were our pre-race signs. The Johnsburg Cross-Country team was warming up for the Adirondack league championships at Queensbury High School on Thursday, Oct. 24. The Johnsburg Harriers have been plagued by injury, but were ready to provide a peak performance at this race. The girlÍ s varsity runners fought the headwind from the start.

Gillian Hayden and Yana Kinblom took off like a rifle. This was strong field of girls. Gillian Hayden ended in a strong sixth place to earn a spot on the Adirondack League All Stars. This success was repeated by our boys team. Terry Allard ran with a group of about 15 strong runners to the 2 mile mark, then made his move. This was against a team shooting for the State Championship (Corinth). Terry pulled ahead of a few of these runners to place tenth with a personal best time. Congratulations to Terry Allard and Gillian Hayden for making the Adirondack League All-Stars. Their next test was the Section 2 Championships at Queensbury High on Friday, Nov. 1.

Outfitters waiting for Essex Chain decision before expanding

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com NEWCOMB — While the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) does not have the Essex Chain Lakes classification on its agenda for the Nov. 14-15 meeting, according to APA spokesman Keith McKeever, the upcoming decision is weighing heavily on small business owners in the Upper Hudson Recreation Hub „ the towns of Long Lake, Indian Lake, North Hudson, Minerva and Newcomb.

ItÍ s the chicken or the egg thing.

Do small businesses invest in building accommodations and hope an influx of tourists will come to the Adirondack Park to explore the new Forest Preserve in the Essex Chain Lakes? Or do they wait until Gov. Andrew Cuomo approves the Adirondack Park AgencyÍ s recommendation on what the property will be classified?

Ruth and Dave Olbert at Cloud-Splitter Outfitters in Newcomb are ready to expand and offer more accommodations for travelers. But, at this point, itÍ s a gamble and a waiting game. ñ WeÍ re kind of one foot in the air,î Ruth said. ñ WeÍ re waiting on the classification like everybody else. We’re kind of ready to expand. There’s a need to expand, definitely, but there’s fear involved because itÍ s been pretty quiet here for a long time.î Ruth is convinced that a wild forest classification would liven things up in Newcomb, economically. It would bring in more tourists for the Essex Chain Lakes, a tract of land to the south of Newcomb recently acquired by the state. Wild forest means more users because it could have motorized uses such as watercraft with small engines on the lakes, snowmobiles and mountain bikes. Or, depending on the Unit Management Plan, which is drafted after classification, it could simply mean mountain bikes and no motorized traffic. Either way, it would attract more people, and that means more business for the Olberts and the town of Newcomb.

The Essex Chain tract „ including the Hudson River and 11 lakes and ponds interconnected or within portaging distance of each other „ provides an opportunity for hunting, day rafting, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, overnight river trips and camping.

Leaders in the five towns affected by the recent state land acquisition of former Finch, Pruyn timber land „ including the Essex Chain — are pushing for a wild forest classification. Those towns are Newcomb, Minerva, Long Lake, Indian Lake and North Hudson.

Environmental advocacy groups, such as the Adirondack Council, are pushing for a wilderness classification. They worry that motorized access „ such as motorboats, snowmobiles and ATVs „ could ruin the natural resources. Therefore, wilderness would restrict the use to hikers, backpackers and backcountry paddlers.

Ruth is not convinced a more restricted use will be good for business in Newcomb. ñ I donÍ t think itÍ s going to change hugely,î Ruth said. ñ The campers come in self-contained a little bit, so I think there would be less business than if it had more access.î The Olberts are ready to offer their services to more day users, people looking for trips lasting a couple hours rather than a couple days. ñ The people who study these things say thatÍ s what the users typically want is about a two-and-a-half hour experience,î Ruth said. ñ Without the access, thatÍ s not going to happen.î

The business

The Olberts grew up in the area. They know the land, the people, the culture. TheyÍ ve seen changes in the economy, from mining and lumbering to mainly tourism. And they see the need for more foot traffic if Newcomb business are going to survive. ñ Our business is a typical mom-and-pop,î Ruth said. ñ It started out really small with a few boats in an abandoned garage. ItÍ s been 17 years, and every year we add something and have tried to do it ourselves.î Dave grew up at the Upper Works, the tiny village known as Adirondac just north of the old titanium mine at Tahawus and then in Newcomb once the National Lead company moved the village of Tahawus to the Winebrook Hills development in 1963.

His father was the guide and caretaker for the Masten House.

Ruth grew up in Olmstedville.

Together, they’ve filled a need for oufitting visitors who want to enjoy the outdoor recreation available in the town of Newcomb. Located next to the Hudson River bridge on State Route

Ruth and Dave Olbert, of Cloud-Splitter Outfitters in Newcomb Photo provided

28N, they are uniquely located to outfit visitors for mountain biking, snowshoeing, kayaking, canoeing and relaxing tube floats on the Hudson River.

Current customers include Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK) members; groups from Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal; and a lot of travelers from New York state and New Jersey. ñ We actually picked up a guy in Pottersville this year and shuttled him to Newcomb,î Ruth said. ñ He went into the Santanoni Reserve for a couple of days, backpacked, did his thing, and then we picked him up and took him back to the bus station in Schroon Lake. That was our first shuttle, and he was very excited about it.î Cloud-Splitter Outfitters even has two rentals: The Tamarack, a small cabin that accommodates four to six people; and The Pilot’s Bunkhouse above the oufitter shop. ñ And that is more of a historical rental,î Ruth said of The PilotÍ s Bunkhouse. The pilot she refers to is the river driver, a lumberjack who hopped from log to log while driving logs downriver from the Adirondack chopping grounds to the sawmills at Glens Falls. ñ ItÍ s actually where the lumberjacks used to have their square dances. ItÍ s pretty cool.î The Olberts designed the smaller rental for cyclists looking for overnight stays, as Newcomb is located on the northern bike route from Portland, Maine to Portland, Ore. The cabin rental is designed for weekly rentals.

One family has been staying with the Olberts for eight years.

The first year, Ruth was concerned. She hadn’t seen them for two days, so she checked up on them, and the parents were on the porch watching their kids go in and out of the screen door. The kids werenÍ t allowed to do that back home, so it was a treat. Now theyÍ ve branched out, and a screen door wonÍ t pass for entertainment anymore. ñ This year, they actually took a hiking/backpacking trip on their own into Santanoni and camped for a couple of days,î Ruth said. ñ So that, for us, was huge, just to watch them learn all the different things, the fishing, all of it. Every year, they do something more, and they love it. TheyÍ re just experiencing Newcomb and everything thatÍ s here.î The rentals are apparently doing very well. ñ And thereÍ s a need for more, obviously,î Ruth said.

Yet she needs her current customers to help spread the word about Cloud-Splitter Outfitters and the various outdoor recreational opportunities in the town of Newcomb. So far, however, many are reluctant. ñ One of my biggest issues is the people who rent from us keep it a secret because they want to be able to get a reservation,î Ruth said. ñ IÍ ve laughed about it because we really would like to expand, but theyÍ ve got to help us out a little bit.î

Expansion plans

The Olberts are looking at two options for expanding their accommodations, and each is associated with a choice the APA commissioners and Gov. Cuomo will make regarding the Essex Chain Lakes. ñ Right now, we have a Plan A and a Plan B, depending on classification and the extent of what the classification is,” Ruth said.

Plan A: If itÍ s wild forest, the Olberts will probably expand with buildings, equipment and adding more mountain bikes.

This would include the construction of a small lodge with 20-

30 beds. The lodge would be rustic, similar to the Johns Brook Lodge operated by ADK in the High Peaks Wilderness.

Plan B: If itÍ s wilderness, they will probably lean toward entertaining equine enthusiasts, as there are nearby horse trails in the Forest Preserve. They will put an addition onto their barn and add paddocks so the equestrians can camp in cabins on the property near their horses. The cabins and parking for horse trailers would have to be constructed.

The Olberts would really like to go with Plan A. But thatÍ s in the APAÍ s hands now. ñ I really, really hope they donÍ t go wilderness,î Ruth said. ñ My personal reason is that once youÍ re at that restricted use, you canÍ t back it off. You can start at wild forest and slowly bring it down if thereÍ s a need, add more protection until you get to wilderness. Once itÍ s done, itÍ s done with the wilderness classification. I don’t understand why people can’t give it a try with wild forest first and then protect it through the UMP.” Providing more access would be fair to the most amount of people, she asserts. ñ I think about my dad,î Ruth said. ñ ThereÍ s no way, if thatÍ s wilderness, that heÍ ll ever see it. And I think about some of the disabled veterans, and thereÍ s no way they would be able to do that. Everybody paid for it; everyone should be able to have access.î For more information about Cloud-Splitter Outfitters, contact Dave and Ruth Olbert at (518) 582-2583 or visit online at www. cloudsplitteroutfitters.com.

Autumn celebrated at Minerva Baptist Church

By Mike Corey

newsenterprise@denpubs.com MINERVA „ Inside and out, the building housing the congregation of the Minerva Baptist Church has been undergoing some recent updates and needed rehabilitation.

These improvements were proudly shown off the evening of Wednesday, Oct. 30, when the church held its annual Fall Festival. Various games, bounce houses, inflatable race courses and lots more attracted close to 100 people of all ages (lots of kids) to enjoy the energy and fun of the evening.

And behind all this excitement? Pastor Greg Dyson is one of the reasons the church has been experiencing a resurgence in membership participation. HeÍ s been serving as pastor of the Schroon Lake Baptist Church since January while working at Word of Life Institute; he now comes to Minerva every other month to lead services for that month.

Pastor Dyson has been watching members of the church get and work together for a while now, and heÍ s impressed

ñ People here in Minerva clearly have love for each other. IÍ m humbled,î he said. ñ ItÍ s great to see people serving and supporting their neighbors without hesitation.î Delicious hot dogs and equally tasty homemade hot chocolate was available throughout the event, and kids as well as adults made good use of the refreshments. ñ This is such a great community event,î said Sandy LaBar. ñ ItÍ s good to see so many kids here.î Young Kara Tucker moved from the bounce house to the Matchbox Car racing track. ñ IÍ m having fun,î Tucker said.

The fun was contagious, and the kids were definitely enjoying the heck out of the chance to play and run around. This new energy is evident throughout the church community. ñ The church is growing,î Dave Marshall said. ñ ItÍ s a very great building with a lot of class, and itÍ s great to see all the young people here this evening.î This sentiment was echoed by Liz Marshall. ñ We are truly blessed with a beautiful evening for the festival,î she said.

Indian Lake Community Planning Committee gets 501(c)(3) status

By Bill Quinlivan

newsenterprise@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE „ During the recent meeting of the Indian Lake Community Planning Committee, it was announced

that the Indian Lake Community Development Corporation (ILCDC), the administrative and steering corporation for the Planning Committee, had received a determination letter from the IRS granting the corporation tax exempt status.

Further, the 501(c)(3) status is retroactive to the date of the

FIVE GENERATIONS

incorporation, i.e. July 13, 2012 and it states that the IRS has determined that ILCDC is a publicly supported charity. As such, contributions to the corporation are tax deductible for federal tax purposes, including any that have been made after the date of incorporation.

The corporation also gains the freedom to expend funds in ways consistent with the community-focused purposes outlined within its certificate of incorporation and bylaws. ñ This is an extremely important step for the Corporation and the Indian Lake Planning Committeeî ILCDC Director James Erceg said in a statement released to the Board, ñ because it means that it is now possible to indicate to individuals, private foundations and governmental entities that the ILCDC is qualified to receive gifts, grants and other funding consistent with the requirements of the Corporation and the Indian Lake Planning Committee.î The necessary paperwork will be filed with New York state, so the corporationÍ s tax exempt status will also be recognized for state tax purposes.

With this milestone behind them and the opportunities for funding that the 501(c)(3) status represents, the reminder of the meeting was devoted to a planning session for 2014. The session was moderated by Nancy Berkowitz and utilized a SMART planning approach. This was the start of the planning process and required attendees to break into groups that were each organized to focus on one of five areas of endeavor: economic development, fresh food access, Main Street revitalization, community communications, and the Hamlets 3 study proposals.

The Hamlets 3 proposals for Indian Lake and Blue Mountain Lake included a ñ destination hotelî accommodating at least 100 rooms to be built across Route 28N/30 from the Adirondack Museum on property currently owned by the Museum.

In Indian Lake, the proposal calls for developing the intersection of Routes 30 and 28 by extending a road north through the intersection up to Bennett Road at Adirondack Lake. The thought is to have a public beach and park at the terminus on Adirondack Lake, while it is thought that the new road north would invite more residential and business development in the town.

At the end of this first planning session, each of the groups were directed to forward their notes which would be central to the next meetingÍ s activities as the planning process for 2014 continues.

Other business discussed during the planning meeting surrounded a recommendation by Sally Stanton, chairwoman of the Planning Committee, that there be representatives of the committee in attendance at all Town Board meetings and that the Town Board be kept informed of committee goals and endeavors. She also recommended spurring involvement of the Town Board in helping to achieve the goals of the committee as possible.

In addition, Stanton updated the attendees on an expansion of Winter Fest to include SnoCade „ a week of Snowmobile related activities scheduled to be held Feb. 14-23, 2014. The activities would include snowmobile time trials, guided rides, poker runs, fireworks, family-oriented activities, a star gaze, a circus, parade and more. SnoCade will build on Winter Fest and share the objective of building more sustainable winter visitation and business for the local economy.

The planning process for 2014 will continue in the next meeting of the Indian Lake Planning Committee. The November meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. in the Indian Lake Central School Library on Nov. 20. All members of the community are invited to attend and participate.

Special to the News Enterprise NORTH CREEK „ Halloween at North Creek Nursing Home was a nice surprise for residents when many of the nurses and aids, secretary and kitchen help, laundry girls and nearly all of the dedicated morning staff came to work in some very cute and original Halloween attire.

The residents sure enjoyed their first view of the care giver who gave everyone a big laugh. In their rooms for early a.m. breakfast, carrying a tray, in walked a witch all dressed in black with a big tall hat, in other rooms trays were delivered by a pink bunny; or a hillbilly; or Ellie Mae Clampett, or one in a monster mask ... and many more original cover ups ... which gave the residents a few laughs and set the pace for a Happy Day. The girls in the office got in on the fun, too. One had a truck driver uniform, and there was a happy witch with a big orange hat, an Indian Chief, a ballerina, a SNAP ON Tool Man, Rosie the Riveter, a devil costume, a Nun, a hippie and so many more. They did not neglect their jobs and still found time to bring delight to all residents of the Home.

A nice surprise at lunch time for the folks who ate in the dining rooms were dozens of small school children parading through in costumes from Johnsburg School.

To top the day off some visitors and day time workers brought their small children, in their cute little outfits, to visit many patients.

Include the next generation in Veterans Day

T

his Monday, Nov. 11, is Veterans Day „ a day set aside to recognize and honor those who served this great nation, past and present, in times of both war and peace.

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary suspension of fighting, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War. Observed as Armistice Day beginning the following year, Nov. 11 became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938.

Following the unprecedented mobilization of troops during World War II and then the Korean War, Armistice Day was changed to Veterans Day, dedicated to all American veterans „ living or dead „ who served this country.

With more than 21 million American veterans „ nearly 15 percent of the population „ most of us have a close relationship with someone who has served. Some have family members, spouses, children or parents who are or once were in the military. Still others holding this newspaper have served themselves.

We want to take this opportunity to wholeheartedly thank these individuals for their selflessness, courage and dedication to our homeland.

You are all heroes.

But those words really donÍ t go far enough.

To truly show our gratitude, we should all take the time to attend a Veterans Day observation. More importantly, we should include our children in the ceremony.

They need to know that Veterans Day is much more than simply a federal holiday off from work and school. They need to know that the sacrifices made by previous generations are what allow us to enjoy the freedoms we so often take for granted today.

We are a proud country with a long history of defending our rights and way of life. We should instill that national pride in the next generation.

Attending a local observance, experiencing a 21-gun salute, hearing the somber playing of ñ Taps,î will all go a long way toward accomplishing that goal.

Observations around the region will not be hard to find. Here is a quick rundown of observances planned in our readership area: •In Warrensburg, American Legion Post 446 will be conducting ceremonies at 10:45 a.m.

Nov. 11 at the Warrensburg Cemetery off Hudson Street. The Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4821 of Warrensburg is holding its veterans day

ceremonies at 11 a.m. in Frederick Flynn Memorial Park on River Street.

•In Chestertown, the Chestertown-based American Legion and VFW are combining forces for a Veterans Day ceremony at 11 a.m. Nov. 11 at the new Veterans Memorial Plaza in front of the Chester Municipal Center.

•In North Creek, the Adirondack Tri-County Nursing and Rehabilitation Center on State Route 28 in North Creek will host a Veterans Day memorial service at 2 p.m. Nov. 11. The service is open to the public.

•In Crown Point, the First Congregational Church is holding its third annual Veterans Recognition and Appreciation as part of its 9:30 a.m. worship service on Nov. 10.

•In Ticonderoga, veterans will be honored during TiconderogaÍ s seventh annual ñ memory walkî Nov. 10 at 1 p.m. in the west Pine Section of Valley View Cemetery. Also in Ticonderoga The Ti Elks will hold a Veterans Day dinner 4:30-7 p.m. It will be free for all veterans and donations will be appreciated by non-veterans.

Fort Ti will also recognize veterans with a living history event, Saturday, Nov. 9, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

• In Wadhams, the Veterans Organizations of Essex County, through the Veterans Cemetery Committee, are conducting an observance of Veterans Day at the Essex County Veterans Cemetery on Nov. 11, beginning at 11 a.m.

•In Keene, American Legion Marcy Post 1312 will conduct a traditional Veterans Day Ceremony at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11 at the Veterans Monument Park on Norton Cemetery Road.

The ceremony will be followed by the formal dedication of the granite WWII Monument and a memorial granite bench.

•In Willsboro, the ninth annual Veterans Day Appreciation Program will be held Nov. 11 at 4:30 p.m. at the Willsboro Central School Cafeteria with dinner to follow.

•In Keeseville, VFW Post 1505 will host a dinner for veterans Nov. 11. The event is free for all vets and a donation will be asked for all guests. A ham dinner will be served at 5 p.m.

•In Plattsburgh, the Clinton Community College Veterans Club will hold a Veterans Day Observation Nov. 11 at the college beginning at noon and SUNY Plattsburgh Army ROTC is holding an open house from 11:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. in Sibley Hall, Room 309 C. If you have the opportunity, be sure to pay it forward by including children in Veterans Day ceremonies. And, donÍ t forget to thank a vet this Monday for his or her service. „ Denton Publications Editorial Board

Shopping local this holiday season Christmas. I could tell something was amiss before these statistics made the news. My mailbox has been stuffed with catalogs since Oct. 1. And, there seems to be more and more catalogs than the year before „ catalogs I have never received or purchased from before. While I flip through many of them, they all end up in the trash. I am making a concerted effort to shop local this year „ and when possible „ purchasing made in the Adirondacks items.

Several studies have shown that when you buy from an independent, locally owned business, rather than nationally owned businesses, significantly more of your money is used to make purchases from other local businesses, service providers and farms „ continuing to strengthen the economic base of the community.

Notes from Planet Earth

By Wes Dingman Health Check for Our Nation

In a report published last year the U.S. National Research Council (NRC) and the Institute of Medicine (IOM), two relatively conservative organizations, reviewed our NationÍ s health from an international perspective.

We did not fare well. Over the past 40 years we have slipped from being one of the healthiest countries to ranking below that of 17 comparably developed countries. Among these countries we have the highest rate of infant mortality and second highest rate of AIDS and ischemic heart disease (blockage of the blood vessels that supply the heart). We also had higher rates of adverse birth outcomes, obesity in children and adults, adult diabetes, chronic lung disease, and sexually transmitted illnesses, and we lose more years of life to drugs prone to abuse. We also have a higher incidence of injuries from motor vehicle accidents and violence. In a study done in 2009 we ranked 28th among other nations in the expected longevity of persons over the age of 50.

In the past, in spite of efforts to develop a national public health system, and in spite of clear evidence that significant social class differences were a prominent factor in determining health, much of the blame for poor health was placed on the behavior of individuals. However, a study in 2006 comparing the health of American and English citizens found that, although both had a significant social health gradient (that is, the general health of the poorest was significantly worse than the general health of the richest), those Americans in the top social bracket

munity ñ home.î Our unique businesses are an integral part of the distinctive character of this place. Local businesses often hire people with a better understanding of the products they are selling and take more time to get to know customers. Local businesses are owned by people who live in this community, are less likely to leave, and are more invested in the communityÍ s future. LetÍ s support them!

So, I invite everyone to start their holiday shopping Thanksgiving weekend in Indian Lake by visiting the many businesses and local/regional artisans and crafters in their homes during the Country Christmas Tour. More information is available on the Indian Lake Chamber of CommerceÍ s website, www.indian-lake. com.

fared worse than their English counterparts. This was in spite of the fact that those at the top of our socioeconomic ladder had easy access to the best health care our country had to offer and we, as a nation, paid a greater share (17.9 percent) of our gross domestic product (GDP) for medical care in 2011 than any other developed country. In contrast, the average spent on health care

by European Union countries in 2010 was 9 percent of the GDP and no other country spent more than 11 percent of its GDP on health care.

The 2013 report by the NRC and IOM suggested that we needed to look more deeply into the socioeconomic factors and psycho-social stresses that surely affect our health and/or our resistance to disease (for example, low wages, poverty, incarceration, joblessness, divorce, single-parent homes, rising health care costs, and the increasing income inequality) that may play causative or aggravating roles in our nationÍ s declining health.

One might think that our nationÍ s leaders would rise to these revelations and push for more support for high quality, peerreviewed research into the social and economic factors that may be affecting our collective health. Instead we have senators calling for a freeze in National Science FoundationÍ s political science research grants and our public health system remains grossly under-funded.

The blossoming of a wholesome sense of community (the sense that everyone’s involved in the support of their neighbors) that we witness in towns or cities following a calamity such as a massive flood or a tornado seems to be absent in our country as a whole. Indeed, in spite of our funding a massive and expensive industry focused on strengthening our ñ National Securityî we have done nothing to enhance the security of the increasing numbers of our citizens living a marginal existence.

By Kjerstia Schilinski

t was a very chilly Monday morning of 24 degrees. It is that time of year when most mornings will be frost on the pumpkins.

Another Halloween passed and a very rainy evening and changes on some outings. The older folks still look forward to having children come to their house all dressed up.

I remember when Bill and Bertha Hitchcock, Uncle Duke and Aunt Blossom Faulkner and Mom and Dad use to see how many came to trick or treat. Bertha use to write down the kids names. Now hardly any kids go door to door on Edwards Hill now.

Bob and Doris DeGroat have returned from their month away. It is nice to get away but always glad to be back home. Bob is glad to be back and see his goats.

Tim Ordway took Earl Allen to Saratoga to his eye specialist one day last week. They enjoyed having lunch at a small diner in Fort Edward. Tim enjoyed hearing some of the things Earl told him about years ago.

Dave and Faye Newkirk had a great apple harvest this year. So many kinds of apples and no worms. They had one apple that weighed a pound and was 4 inches across.

Brandi Burton was the guest of honor at her baby shower Sunday afternoon. She was surprised to see so many there to wish her, Jonny and baby well. She received many lovely gifts. There was lots of food and cake. Games were played. Everyone had a great time. Ask Verna and Chrissy about their fun.

Many kids enjoyed going to the All-nighter All-County Super Bowl. They had fun but so tired after the event.

Fabiann Conlon to the rescue. Thanks Fabe for helping Keisha change a flat tire and fixing my stove pipe after the strong wind took the top half off. Sorry you fell and cut your arm.

Happy Birthday to: Lois Allen, Matt Millington, Dan Cleveland, Courtney Richards, Gail Harris, Marvene Lawrence, Lane Eldred Cleveland, Paul Logue, Amy Dunkley Cleveland, Zachariah Morehouse, Reisha Thissell, Mike Denno, Heather Bacon, Andrew Kasztan, Caleb Werger.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Adirondack Community Outreach seeks volunteers

To the News Enterprise: Located in the town of Johnsburg, the Outreach Center runs or houses multiple programs to assist community members. Its two largest programs, run entirely by volunteers, are the Family Clothing Center and the Johnsburg Food Pantry.

Because there is no paid staff for these programs, having enough volunteers is critical to keeping the programs running. Currently, there is a need for volunteers in both programs.

For the Clothing Center, volunteers are needed on Saturdays between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. to assist shoppers as well as to sort and display clothing. Volunteers do not need to work every Saturday. Even one Saturday each month would be very helpful. People interested in volunteering for the Clothing Center should contact Charlotte Linke at 251 5230.

For the Food Pantry, in order to maintain the ability to continue being open in the evenings, volunteers are needed for the second and/or fourth Tuesday of each month from 4:45 to 7:15 p.m. to assist with the distribution of food. Also needed is someone to take cardboard to the town Transfer Station once or twice each month. Volunteers for Food Pantry should contact Anita Abrams at 251-2138.

Work in both of these programs is both fun and rewarding.

IRS payments

The board voted to pay an $82,680.25 fee to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) based on a decision that certain individuals who contracted with the county as independent contractors and in different capacities were employees of the county and should have been subject to withholdings of Social Security and Medicare.

The county will pay for the fine out of its contingency account, which leaves a balance of $2,319.75.

Palmer said that if there are any other unforeseen expenses between now and the end of the county fiscal year, it will have to be paid through the use of fund balance. ñ We will have to go to fund balance. You canÍ t pay contingency back,î he said.

Workers supported

Supervisor Blades offered a resolution thanking the employees of the Horace Nye Nursing Home for their hard work over the past two years as the facility started the transition from public operation to private under the ownership of Centers for Specialty Care. ñ I think that they have done an awesome, excellent job,î he said. ñ Last week after Ways and Means I did speak with our personnel officer, and I believe that they are making arrangements for employees that have any questions at all will be able to go in and ask,î Scozzafava said. ñ There are a lot of employees who have a lot of questions that really need to be answered.î

ELIZABETHTOWN „ The Essex County Board of Supervisors will meet at the end of this month to allow people to speak on the tentative 2014 budget.

Members of the board approved scheduling the annual public hearing for the county budget during its Nov. 4 regular board meeting. The hearing will take place on Monday, Nov. 25, at 7 p.m. at the Old County Courthouse in Elizabethtown. The regular monthly meeting of the Ways and Means Committee will be held before the hearing at 6 p.m. (normally held at 10 a.m.).

The 2014 tentative budget will be released by Nov. 15, according to county Manager Daniel Palmer. ñ We have been meeting with several department heads and there are still a couple more we want to meet with,î Board Chairman Randy Douglas of Jay said of the groundwork going into the budget along with budget sub-committee chairman David Blades of Lewis.

Palmer said he would be discussing the budget at the next sub-committee meeting, which will take place Tuesday, Nov. 12, a 1 p.m. ñ This year looks a little better than it has in the past,î Palmer said. “A lot of that is the influx of cash coming in from the sale of the Horace Nye Nursing Home.

Warren Co. leaders approve 2014 budget with slim levy hike

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY „ Warren County Supervisors voted unanimously Friday Nov. 1 to endorse a $154.3 million budget that raises the tax levy across the county by 1.57 percent but dedicates about $600,000 more to upgrading county roads and $300,000 to combat invasive species in the countyÍ s waterways.

The budget represents a $2.6 million increase in appropriations over 2013, when the ñ pass-throughî payments of sales tax revenue to municipalities are excluded.

The increase in the tax levy is well below the amount allowed under the state tax cap, which in Warren CountyÍ s case would have allowed an increase of 2.26 percent.

The 2014 tax levy increase countywide means that a property owner with a 200,000 house will have to pay an average of $28.80 more per year.

The county tax rates for the individual municipalities within the county, however, will be varying dramatically, due to equalization rates and apportionments „ factors out of the countyÍ s control.

The 2014 county tax rate is expected to rise 3.84 percent in Warrensburg and Stony Creek, but decrease by 2.89 percent in Chester and Horicon and decline by 1.37 percent in Johnsburg.

The county tax rate will likely be going up only .81 percent in Thurman, and 1.29 percent in Queensbury.

The budget also allows for 2 percent raises for almost all officials and non-union employees.

The tax rates were kept stable, despite an increase in health insurance premiums and boosted fuel costs, as well as a shrinking tax base. The total full value of the countyÍ s properties is $10.38 billion, compared to $11.2 billion in 2011. Health insurance costs for the county are expected to increase by more than $900,000 next year. Other factors driving increases are $850,388 in higher wages, and $264,000 more in federal projects.

Sales tax revenue is budgeted to be $4.1 million higher next

year „ a 1.25 percent increase over the current year „ in line with increases in collections already encountered.

The budget calls for the use of $2.3 million of surplus funds, including $1.5 million in general fund surplus. Total county reserve funds, however, are expected to remain at about $11 million.

Warren County Budget Officer Frank Thomas, who serves as Stony Creek Supervisor, predicted that if present trends continue, the county could have a zero tax increase within the next few years. ñ This budget contains a very good news story if we can stay on course,” he said. “The county’s finances will allow us to steer money into worthwhile programs, while maintaining a zero percent increase —And we can always look for additional efficiencies.î Part of the reason for improved finances, he said was due to the lowered benefit contributions because the state downsized its generous pension program for newly-hired public employees. With the 6 to 7 percent turnover in county employees, the new ones will be receiving less generous pensions, and Warren County will be contributing less money toward them.

Thomas warned, however, that the rosy financial outlook depends on the sale of the Westmount Health Facility, which is expected to generate escalating deficits over the next several years. ñ If the sale of Westmount doesnÍ t go through, we could be looking at huge deficits next year,” Thomas said.

The 2014 budget was hailed by a number of county supervisors. Ward 5 Supervisor Bill Kenny said he would have preferred to see the sales tax revenue budgeted higher to be more realistic, but he added the spending was in line in the budget as presented. ñ This is a tremendous accomplishment,î he said.

Queensbury Supervisor-at-large Mark Westcott, a frequent critic of county spending, particularly at the airport, also expressed positivism. ñ I am very impressed,î he said, noting that the increase of $600,000 on road work was in line with the opinions of mem-

bers of a political action group he co-founded, the Upstate NY Taxpayers Advocates. UNYTA members responding to a survey recently named road repair as a top priority for the county.

Westcott added, however, that he was disappointed that the appropriations for the county airport hadnÍ t been lowered further than the 10 percent decrease in appropriations called for in the 2014 budget.

Responding to many compliments, Thomas deferred credit for the balanced budget to others. ñ The credit for this budget goes to the county employees who made the sacrifices and to the department heads that made the cuts,î Thomas concluded as the vote to approve the budget was made.

The outdoor gym class

U

nless parents learn how to ñ pull the plugî on electronic entertainment, the ï wired generationÍ may never learn how to enjoy a host of healthy entertainment options that are typically available outside their own back door.

The list of activities is extensive and they can provide participants with the essential skills for a life long physical fitness regime.

However the time frame for creating the next generation of skiers and boarders, anglers and hunters, runners and swimmers, paddlers and bikers is not strictly limited to a key period.

Although studies have identified the fourth grade/ age 10 years as the critical time frame for introducing children to lifelong recreational habits, kids can develop the skills at an earlier age, or at a later age.

The need for life skills education is especially amplified in rural areas, where structured recreational outlets have always been rather limited.

This situation is obvious in many North Country communities where youth centers are few, organized sports are limited and the availability of a central ï hangoutÍ is often nonexistent.

Some of the smaller communities no longer support a local diner, movie theatre, arcade, bowling alley or even a recreation center.

Even without an obvious lack of quick, easy and responsible recreation, bored kids are eventually going to find some sort of recreation outlet, for better or worse.

Fortunately, most North Country residents have a positive recreational outlet as close as their own back yard. However, these outlets are limited to those who have both the skills and the tools to pursue them.

There isnÍ t a lack of interest. A recent Outdoor Recreation Participation Study conducted by the Outdoor Industry Foundation indicates that: ñ AmericansÍ participation in active outdoor recreation remains strong; in fact 72 percent of Americans, age 16 and above, participated in some form of active outdoor recreation last year.î

www.newsenterprise.org

Fortunately, there are a lot of other studies to back it up. Check out the highlights from some recent studies: • Unstructured free play brings cognitive, social and health benefits to children.

• Unstructured free play in the outdoors brings a host of benefits to children ranging from being smarter, to more cooperative to becoming healthier overall.

• The study builds a strong case for the importance of unstructured free play in the out-of-doors for all age groups, and especially young children. The authors cite cognitive benefits from play in nature, including creativity, problem-solving, focus and self-discipline.

• Social benefits include cooperation, flexibility, and selfawareness. Emotional benefits include stress reduction, reduced aggression and increased happiness. Children will be smarter, better able to get along with others, healthier and happier when they have regular opportunities for free and unstructured play in the out-of-doors.

• Being outdoors is important to our overall health and the evidence reveals that contact with natural surroundings promotes healthier social behavior and lessens social dysfunction, improves resilience, helps to alleviate stress, promotes optimal psychological functioning, improves recovery from physical trauma, and reduces mortality.

However, a study that really caught my eye details the benefits of outdoor skills education and wildlife-related outdoor education. It indicates outdoor skills education supports our health, learning, and lifestyle. In addition, the authors note a significant relationship exists between outdoor skills education and lifelong participation in fishing, hunting and other outdoor pursuits.

In a review, the authors discussed evidence regarding the benefits of outdoor skills education, including improved interpersonal and interpersonal skills, environmental awareness, physical, mental, and social health; the ability to learn and concentrate and stewardship ethics in regard to hunting and fishing.

The study authors also noted indicators of recruitment and retention in these outdoor activities, which include early life experiences, mentorship, and structured programs that are culturally appropriate and more holistic and ecologically oriented.

The studies didnÍ t really shed any new light on the subject, they simply verified what most outdoor travelers already know.

The time we spend outdoors is healthy, relaxing, reinvigorating, calming, stress reducing and provides good clean fun.

At least two New York state politicians have seen the light, and the legislation theyÍ ve proposed appears to be supported by the recent research.

Assembly bill, A4345, sponsored by Assemblyman Will Barclay, R-Pulaski, and Senate version S4933, sponsored by Sen. John Bonacic, R-Mt. Hope propose ñ An act to amend the envi-

November 9, 2013 ronmental conservation law, in relation to hunting, fishing and outdoor education in high school physical education coursesî The proposed legislation, which is supported by the New York State Conservation Council, would allow school districts the option of providing a curriculum of hunting, fishing and trapping education as a component of high school physical education courses.

Although it does not require school districts to implement the outdoor curriculum, it does allow them to offer outdoor skills as a component of the physical education A future, Varsity Bass Fishing athlete shows program.

It is interesting to off his prowess with the long rod during a note that studies in- session of off season training! dicate the percentage of high school athletes who continue to regularly participate in team sports following graduation remains extremely low.

The likelihood of regular participation in team sports diminishes exponentially after a former high school athlete takes on the responsibilities of full time employment, marriage, children and family duties, etc.

Within five years of graduation, the vast majority of high school athletes will never again participate in a regular routine of team athletics.

The sole exception to this trend are high school athletes who participated as members of a Varsity Bass Fishing team.

However, the percentage of athletes who regularly participate in outdoor pursuits such as skiing, hunting, fishing, running, biking, paddling, hiking, climbing and similar outdoor pursuits continues to grow. Such pursuits are often referred to as life skills, since they can be pursued on an individual basis for life.

These are athletic events that do not require additional team members or referees. There is no need for scorekeepers or groomed fields, nor time clocks or bleachers full of cheering spectators or the usual cheerleaders.

Typically, the playing field for such non-traditional athletes is an actual field, or a forest, stream, lake or even a rock ledge.

These are the fields for athletes who have learned to stay away from the courts. They prefer to play in special arenas where the only spectators are fish, fowl or game.

the front, along with “North Creek Business Alliance” flanked by the Warren County and town of Johnsburg logos. ñ ItÍ s a wonderful example of how local businesses „ our organization „ can work with local governments, Warren County and the town of Johnsburg,î said Business Alliance Vice President and co-chair Joel Beaudin, a partner at the Copperfield Inn. “They’ve been supporting us financially for four years.”

The second bus, a 2004 Ford, will arrive later in the year. But on Thursday, Nov. 14, North Creek Business Alliance officials will be unveiling its first bus with some fanfare, including a visit by town, county and state politicians. ñ Now weÍ re going to have two vehicles that are going to be available here on a year-round basis,î Beaudin said. ñ We own and operate them, and theyÍ ll be available for many things.î Beaudin envisions one of the buses being used as a mobile information booth.

www.newsenterprise.org ñ The second bus will have a question mark on it and a big display on the bus somewhere,î Beaudin said. ñ People will be able to get on there and receive information. WeÍ re working on a video for the inside. And we can take this bus to any event as far as Lake George or Brant Lake. And weÍ ll have a North Creek area information booth on wheels.î With ownership comes the opportunity to serve more people.

For example, the North Creek Business Alliance will expand its ski shuttle service this year by at least 300 beds, now making loops to The Summit at Gore townhouses and vacation rentals in addition to other lodging facilities.

TheyÍ ll also be able to tap into the mountain bike market in the warmer months, placing bike racks on the buses and transporting trail cycling enthusiasts to Gore Mountain and the new mountain bike trails at the Ski Bowl Park. ñ ItÍ s really important to note that the Business AllianceÍ s purpose was to get together, as a business community, to see how we could not just exist in a very bad economic climate four years ago, but how we could survive and thrive,î Bowers said.

And theyÍ ve done that. Other ski towns, such as Lake Placid and Wilmington, have long-established shuttle bus systems for skiers. ItÍ s a service many skiers expect in resort towns, and once a shuttle is established, it really needs to stay in place to meet those expectations, according to Bowers. ñ People become accustomed to that service,î Bowers said. ñ When you come to a ski town, you want to have transportation.

People donÍ t want to drive. What it does is creates in their minds that thereÍ s a downtown North Creek.ñ Before the shuttle service, many skiers would stay in lodging facilities closer to Gore Mountain and sometimes bypass the business district altogether. The shuttle bus encourages downtown visitation and connects visitors to different parts of the town, including the nearby Ski Bowl Park. ñ The shuttle was only one part of a very large puzzle that is

News Enterprise - 11 slowly being put together,î Bowers said. ñ But without the shuttle, those other pieces donÍ t go together so easily.î But the ski shuttle system didnÍ t come together easily, and it wasnÍ t handed to North Creek on a platter like in other resort towns. This was a grassroots effort. Business owners pooled their resources „ meeting weekly to brainstorm fresh ideas and work out problems „ and created the North Creek Business Alliance from scratch. They applied for Occupancy Tax funding from the county and the town to hire Brant Lake Taxi for the ski shuttle and to finally buy their own buses. ñ It never would have happened had we not had, or continue to have, municipal and county financial support,” Beaudin said.

But North CreekÍ s shuttle funding is unique. ñ It is municipal, but it really is Occupancy Tax money,î said Business Alliance Treasurer Katie Nightingale, who is also a member of the Johnsburg Town Council. ñ Sure weÍ d like to wean ourselves from it, but itÍ s not tax dollars that weÍ re spending.

ThereÍ s a difference.î By comparison, the ski shuttle between Lake Placid and Whiteface Mountain Ski Center in Wilmington is an Essex County Transportation bus, which is funded by the state. In North Creek, the ski shuttle has been financed by visitors who are charged an Occupancy Tax (aka bed tax) during their stay in Warren County. That tax has been distributed by the county and the town of Johnsburg. It is not property tax money.

The long-term goal is to make the North Creek shuttle bus system self-sufficient, without funding from the Occupancy Tax. Bus advertising revenue is expected to help pay for upkeep in the future.

For now, North Creek Business Alliance officials are repeating the old Greyhound bus slogan, ñ Leave the driving to us.î ñ Come to North Creek. Park your car. Ride the shuttle. Ski all day. Come back to downtown North Creek. Shop, eat and spend the night,î Bowers said.
