Hamilton Co. OKs ROOST contract

This Week NORTH CREEK

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com LAKE PLEASANT Ñ Members of the Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Thursday, Nov. 7 approved a resolution to hire the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism (ROOST), based in Lake Placid, to manage its tourism marketing program for 2014.

The ROOST/Lake Placid Convention and Visitors Bureau Ñ formerly known as the Lake Placid/Essex County Visitors Bureau Ñ 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 will add Hamilton County to its roster. Ò Obviously the two counties worked together in a pretty powerful way on Adirondack Day in Albany, so weÕ ve done some events and weÕ ve got some experience working together,Ó said Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Farber. Ò And I think it could be a really exciting time for us.Ó The resolution was unanimously approved Ñ 8-0 with Benson Town Supervisor Ermina M. Pincombe absent Ñ according to Board of Supervisors Clerk Laura Abrams.

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.

With better broadband, telecommuting can help economy

By Katherine Clark katherine@denpubs.com

BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE Ñ With sufficient technology improvements, the Internet could provide jobs for locals and allow new people to come to the Adirondack Park to live and work at home.

Job opportunities in the North Country is no longer reliant on the industries of mining, agriculture and timber. In rural communities, the future for filling homes

and schools with year-round residents and job creation for current residents could come from employment at companies elsewhere through telecommuting.

A roundtable discussion was held at the Wild Center in Tupper Lake on Oct. 24 to address community concerns and educate participants about how to bring successful broadband connections to rural communities. The forum was led by the New York State Broadband Program Office, USDA, and Adirondack Action for a

2014 budget approved

PUBLISHER’S COLUMN

JOHNSBURG

JOHNSBURG Ñ Members of the Johnsburg Town Board approved their 2014 budget with a few amendments Thursday, Nov. 7, yet it was the state Department of TransportationÕ s (DOT) rejection of three speed-reduction requests that drew out emotional responses from local officials.

Town Supervisor Ron Vanselow, speaking by phone the morning after the meeting, said the DOT denied the

townÕ s speed-reduction requests for the following Ò problematicÓ roads: Main Street in the downtown business district, Route 28 (aka The Bypass), and the Rogers Road.

The Rogers Road is a dirt road located between the Barton Mines Road and the Harvey Road in the hamlet of North River. The road currently does not have a speed limit. Ò They said they donÕ t really regulate those (kinds of roads), although they have the authority and we donÕ t,Ó Vanselow said. Ò They think that the people that live there know the roads, and the roads themselves limit the speeds.Ó Town officials also want to reduce the speed limit from 55 mph to 45 mph on Route 28 Ñ from the 45 mph

speed limit sign near CunninghamÕ s to the Adirondack Tri-County Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. This area is known locally as The Bypass because it bypasses the Main Street business district.

Vanselow said DOT officials claimed it wasn’t busy enough to warrant a speed reduction. Yet he disagrees with the decision and the apparent methods of research. Ò The only study they did was a radar study ... They determined not enough people were speeding at 55,Ó Vanselow said. Ò Well, that wasnÕ t the issue. We werenÕ t complaining about people speeding there, just that the speed limit itself was set too high for that stretch of road.Ó CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Square Eddy Expeditions raft through a “Super fun” first season

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK Ñ When Square Eddy Expeditions (SEE) first began their inaugural rafting season this summer they were hoping to have the season go off without a hitch, but co-owner Lori Pheobe Benton said the first season surpassed their expectations. Ò We believed weÕ d have a small but personable business and offer a full day of laugh out loud fun on the Hudson,Ó Benton said. Ò We hadnÕ t expected we would receive so much acceptance and encouragement from the community and our new patrons.Ó

SEE is a small outdoor adventure company offering day and overnight whitewater rafting trips on the Upper Hudson River. Benton and Lincoln (Linc) Marsac teamed up to start SEE. The couple, who met 5 years-ago, mix river rapids with a full service experience for their customers.

The companyÕ s name comes from Square Eddy, a calm spot on the Hudson River. Benton said the name is a reflection of her love of the history of the area and novelty of the logging terms. Ò An eddy is a calm spot behind a rock or on the side of the river, a lot of people are surprised to know the busi-

ness wasnÕ t named for a person,Ó Benton said. Ò IÕ ve always been fascinated by the term eddy. Square Eddy is a calm, sunny square that is beautiful after hitting the rapids. ItÕ s usually where we stop the groups for lunch.Ó The rafting duo like to include stories of the local history and educational facts for their riders. Ò We always have a tale or two, maybe a song. It all depends on the group. We talk as much or as little as they like.

Each of our excursions are tailored to the group we have with us,Ó Benton said. Ò The river is a natural resource of fun. We try to make that perfect for our customers.Ó The duo aim to give a Ò super funÓ experience packed with local history, charm, laugh out loud adventures, lunch and snacks made with locally produced ingredients. Ò We served good-oldfashioned homemade treats like cookie bars and brownies, sandwiches prepared by IzzyÕ s Market & Deli, apples, tea with local honey if it was cool and more,Ó Benton said. Ò IÕ m kind of a natural food freak and I think people coming from out of town liked that.Ó During a typical visit to the SEE, Benton said guests who arrived for the 9 a.m. registration were greeted at the home base with a big hug from Marsac, then they checked in and got their gear and safety instructions. Ò Safety is our top concern.

Before they even go on the water we try to teach them everything they would need to

know in case something happened out there,Ó Benton said. Ò Our guides are required to have passed a New York State Guiding test, be first aide and CPR certified, and take all necessary water safety courses.Ó Once everyone is ready, patrons start their roughly five hour river excursion.

The trips start at the Indian River with 2.7 miles of class two and three whitewater, about midday the group stops at Square Eddy, then float on to a gorge with five to six miles of constant rapids, and concluding with about three miles of floating to the end of the trip.

The rafting company ran

river trips with nearly 400 guests from April through Columbus Day weekend.

Typically Benton and Marsac would have one or two boats on the river on any day. The pair were the primary guides but Benton said they occasionally recruited other licensed guides Ò We saw a lot of family groups, couples and groups of friends come,Ó Benton said. Ò Ò We started the business small, steady and strong, even as the business grows weÕ ll still only bring out small groups,Ó Benton said. WeÕ ll be a bit better next year and hopefully have a bit more people.Ó Ò ItÕ s been a lifelong dream

to start a company like this, and when Linc said he would join me with the business it all came together,Ó Benton said. Ò We had a dream and itÕ s definitely been fulfilled with a lot of help from people in the community.Ó Benton has been rafting for over 28 years. She grew up in Indian Lake and has lived in North Creek the past 20 years.

She said her desire to run the river began when she was 12-years-old. Ò In the late Ô 70Õ s the rafting companies would roll into town like the circus and I wanted to be a clown in the circus so to speak,Ó Benton said. “When I was finally 18 I became a guide. IÕ ve always loved it here. I left for a while, did a few trips down the Grand Canyon, but I was always called back to the Adirondacks.Ó SEE is closed for the season and will reopen in March 2014. SEE is located at 282 Main Street in North Creek.

Broadband

Continued from page 1 Topics that were discussed included: USDA Rural Development and New York State Broadband Programs, eligibility requirements, program structures and purposes, funding pathways and statewide needs as well as general discussion on each of the programÕ s administration.

About 70 community members attended the discussion.

Speakers included Bob Puckett of the New York Telecommunications Assoc., Dave Wolf of Development Authority of the North Country, Rob Ottara and Renee Hotte of the USDA. Ò There are resources out there for people to bring broadband to their community. The number one person to call would be Angel Liotta, the Broadband outreach director with Empire State Development,Ó Logan-Dechene said.

If the expansion of broadband is successful, programs such as Adirondack Teleworks Ñ based in the town of Indian Lake Ñ could help open up job opportunities for Adirondackers and lure more telecommuters to the region. Adirondack Teleworks was built to help people find telecommuting jobs anywhere in the Adirondack Park through the Internet.

Bill Murphy, public relations manager and member of the Adirondack Teleworks, said the not-for-profit group has been working for three years to get funding for broadband projects in the region. Ò WeÕ re trying to promote current teleworks. We now have the ability to live and work here,Ó Murphy said. Ò Also we need to bring in training for workforce investment. WeÕ re hoping to get money to start training people in

digital literacy.Ó Murphy said if they can get the funding, the goal is to begin digital literacy training in local libraries with 120-hour courses.

At the end of the course, participants will receive a work readiness certificate. Ò When people walk in with the course certification, they’ll have all the qualifications to work in a telecommuting situation,Ó Murphy said.

teenagers just stopped in front of my house because all of a sudden they had cell service,Ó Salamon said. Ò They kept coming back and sitting in my yard texting or calling people. We eventually disconnected the box for the night.Ó By and large, Salamon said the extender has been a godsend. She recommends that telecommuters purchase the device for their homes.

Moving to Minerva

For Gore Mountain Region Chamber of Commerce Director Lisa Salamon, who lives in the town of Minerva, the viability of telecommuting made it possible for her to move to the Adirondack Park and earn a living.

Salamon works in the insurance business as a freelance crisis consultant for businesses and major corporations. Ò I moved here from West Chester, Pa., an area with very reliable, very fast fiber optic network. There was never a technical problem,Ó Salamon said. Ò I had a lot of travel. There was a lot of working out of home and a lot of time in airports.Ó Salamon began working as the new chamber director in January.

She had been visiting her traditional log cabin on Minerva Lake with her family for years; it was their vacation home, away from the hustle and bustle of city life in West Chester, a county seat of 18,000 residents just outside of Philadelphia. So why move to the town of Minerva Ñ population around 800 Ñ in New YorkÕ s Adirondack Park? Ò We had a second home here that we loved, and we were trying to spend more time here,Ó Salamon said shortly after being hired by the chamber. Ò We were going back and forth between two homes and said, Ô We love it so much here, why are we doing

this?Õ Ó So they moved here in August 2012. Almost empty nesters, the Salamons have two girls, one whoÕ s a senior at Boston University and another whoÕ s a college graduate living in Connecticut.

They are proud transplants, Adirondackers at last. Ò Just like everyone else here I have several jobs,Ó Salamon said.

Sustainable connection is key for Salamon to maintain her job and keep up with her work responsibilities. Ò I couldnÕ t tell you how many times Frontier Communications would crash when I was trying to send large files,” Salamon said. “I would recommend people have two or three backups when they work this way.Ó One of SalamonÕ s backup Internet connections is the Town of Johnsburg Library in North Creek, located across the street from her Chamber office at the Tannery Pond Community Center.

Ò You canÕ t depend on one service entirely. It is better than it was two or three years ago,Ó Salamon said. Ò IÕ ve gone countless times to the library and parked outside. At 5 or 7 p.m., IÕ ve seen a couple people doing the same in their cars. All you can see is the glow of their laptops.Ó With the addition of a reliable Internet connection, Salamon said a viable telephone connection is a necessity for maintaining her connection to clients. Ò I have a Verizon cellphone extender, so it makes my home a hotspot to get cell service,Ó Salamon said. Ò ItÕ s a one-time purchase of the extender, then itÕ s connected through your DSL line and I can get cell service within 1,000 feet of my house.Ó Having a cell phone hotspot isnÕ t all itÕ s cracked up to be. Salamon said itÕ s attracted connection-hungry cell phone users to her home. Ò There are camps up my street, and one time a van full of

Established telecommuters working in the digital field can more successfully move their home offices to the Adirondacks, as opposed to vacationing here, according to Keene resident Dave Nethaway, who is vice president of technology for the Human Services Research Institution, based in Cambridge, Mass. Ò The Adirondacks for us was always a place we said weÕ d want to retire one day or, if we were financially able, buy a second home,Ó Nethaway said. Ò Then we thought, Ô Why not live the dream now?Õ Ó From his Boston office, Nethaway established a technology management network for his companyÕ s West Coast branch. Ò We wanted to recruit the best candidates for the job without losing the opportunity because they didnÕ t want to live where our offices were,” Nethaway said.

Essentially, Nethaway built a system to support telecommuting and then used it himself by moving to the Adirondack Park with his wife, Jessica Hartley.

Nethaway said he canÕ t do his job without email, VoIP technologies (voice over Internet protocol), chat technologies, video conferencing, mobile devices (smartphones and tablets), online collaboration services like Sharepoint, VPN (virtual private network) and other remote access

technologies.

During the first two years the couple lived in Keene, they both telecommuted for companies based in Boston. Hartley eventually took a position locally as the executive director for the North Country SPCA, based in Elizabethtown. Ò My wife and I had always come here for hiking or vacations,Ó Nethaway said. Ò We were married in Lake Placid. When we first decided to move here, we really didnÕ t have a place picked out, so we cast a wide net of where we could live.Ó Ultimately, their decisions were narrowed down to locations with sufficient broadband for their work. Ò Most of the bigger communities have big companies like Time Warner or Charter Communications offering broadband services. In Keene, they had to make a community effort and fundraised for a local broadband system,Ó Nethaway said. Ò We knew Keene from hiking trips when we were tourists. Now weÕ ve come to love it since we moved here.

WeÕ re moving to a bigger place to support our growing family of dogs and cats, but weÕ re staying in Keene.Ó Nethaway said he realizes that telecommuting isnÕ t for everyone. For his family, however, it was ideal for letting him embrace the Adirondack way of life while maintaining his career. Ò The balance between development and the environment that can be found here,Ó Nethaway said. Ò I think that attracting telecommuters can be a way to strengthen and grow our communities while maintaining that balance, especially if we continue to be mindful about how we build out and provide the infrastructure that supports telecommuting.Ó

DEC temporarily closes Newcomb trail after bridge replacement

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com NEWCOMB Ñ State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) officials are reminding hikers that the East River Trail near the Upper Works is temporarily closed. Ò We are very concerned that someone will be injured using the unopened bridge,Ó DEC Region 5 spokesman David Winchell said in an email.

The trail will remain closed until the bridge over the Hudson River is secured. This is the trail off the east side of the Tahawus Road, south of Upper Works,used for accessing Mount Adams, the Flowed Lands and Hanging Spear Falls.

Although the bridge over the Hudson River has been replaced the bridge, it is not completely secured at this time. Ò Despite signs and barricades some people continue to cross the bridge,Ó the DEC states in its Nov. 7 High Peaks Bulletin, Ò so in order to pre-

vent injury or death if the bridge collapses into the river and long-term closure of the bridge if it is damaged, DEC is closing the trail.Ó

The Hudson River is currently running high after the rain this week, and DEC officials do not want people fording the river. The closure

is short term. DEC officials expect to fully secure the bridge and open it for use within a few weeks.

ROOST

Continued from page 1 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. Ò 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 isnÕ t as if we didnÕ t make headway,Ó Farber said. Ò But Ann had the same basic experience that Bill had ... WeÕ re going through another interview process, and weÕ re saying the exact same things that we did twice prior to the applicants.Ó It was time for a breather. In September, members of the countyÕ 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. Ò We said, wait a minute. ItÕ s time that we really took ourselves seriously and put the structure in line with what weÕ re saying,Ó Farber said. Ò 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 weÕ re talking about? How do we put some emphasis on tourism destination planning and the need for lodging and some of those things that weÕ ve given a high priority to?Ó 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.

“The Board of Supervisors has narrowed the field determining that the ROOST proposal offers the greatest benefit to Hamilton County,Ó 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 ROOSTÕ s RFP submission to take over the tourism marketing program in Hamilton County. ROOST Executive Director Jim McKenna sees tourism marketing in the Adirondack Park as a regional approach, not an Ò us-versus-themÓ tactic for counties to steal visitors from each other. Ò When we talk tourism and tourism marketing, the Adirondacks are the primary driver of why people come here,Ó McKenna said. Ò All of our research clearly shows that outdoor recreational activities are the No. 1 driver on a year-round basis.Ó By combining marketing efforts Ñ which is already happening with some outdoor recreation activities Ñ 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,Ó McKenna said. Ò I think everybodyÕ s starting to understand that consolidation from that point of view is a good thing.Ó The contract would be for one year, starting Jan. 1, 2014.

News Enterprise Editorial

Don’t tread on the Thanksgiving holiday Traditions change over time Ñ Some for the good and others for the bad. As the holiday season approaches, there is one tradition, started within the past two decades, that in our opinion is much more for the bad than good.

As early as 10 years ago, the popular thing to do after Thanksgiving dinner (and the cleanup if you were the lucky household to host) was to get up the next morning, around 6 or 7 a.m., drive on over to the local department store and see what there was to buy in a tradition that started to be called, Ò Black Friday.Ó Why black? Because this one shopping day created so much revenue for stores, it was the day that their books went from being in the red (debt) to being in the black (profit).

Since then, things have started to change, and not, we feel, for the better. A 6 a.m. opening became 5 a.m. Not to be outdone, the competitor started opening their doors at 4 a.m., then 3 a.m., 2 a.m., 1 a.m. and even midnight Black Friday.

Last year, the wave of tradition going wrong breached over the sea wall, spilling over into Thanksgiving Day with stores starting their deals and specials as early as 6 p.m.

The tidal wave has continued into this year as more and more stores have announced that, instead of giving their employees the day off to be with family and friends and to prepare for the onslaught of Black Friday customers, many are going to keep their doors open Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28 and start the deals even earlier. These businesses include K-mart, Target, Sears, Best Buy, Toys R Us, MacyÕ s, J.C. Penny, KohlÕ s and Wal-Mart, to name a few.

Some of these stores will still wait until the evening to open, while others will operate Thanksgiving Day as if it were Aug. 28.

Why? Some retailers have claimed with the, Ò holiday shopping season,Ó the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, cut down by six days, they need the extra time. If Black Friday is the single largest profit-making day of the year though, the eight extra hours should not matter in the grand scheme of attaining the all-mighty dollar.

It is not as if there is a competitive advantage to opening a day earlier because, as we have seen with every other promotion, once one company does it, everyone else falls in line and follows suit.

What will all of this mean? It mean these big box companies will force their employees to work on Thanksgiving Day. For a college student or young adult who needs their job in order to support themselves, they are put in a tough position because they fear losing their jobs but also yearn for the traditions and family bonding that comes with the traditional Thanksgiving. Really, if officials of these companies stepped back for a minute and considered the repercussions of their actions, they would see that putting their employees in this situation does not shed one ounce of positive light on either them or their companies.

Thanksgiving Day is Ñ or should we say was Ñ one of only two holidays that were still viewed in the world of retail with some level of reverence and solemnity, along with Christmas Day. They are the two days that you would never even think about going to the store because you knew that the store was closed so shop owners and employees could be where they belonged, at home with family and friends. Yes, Christmas has been over-commercialized as stores start their advertising blitzes and holiday music before kids have even put on their Halloween costumes, but the day in and of itself has always been seen as, Ò hands off,Ó the way Thanksgiving used to be, as well.

So, on Nov. 28, we encourage everyone to be where they belong, wherever family and friends are, enjoying the holiday. Worry about shopping the next day or thereafter because the dirty little secret is: if the product is still there, so are the deals touted by these retailers. Ñ

Johnsburg EMS wins Agency of the Year Award

By Joe Connelly

newsenterprise@denpubs.com JOHNSBURG Ñ On Saturday, Nov. 2 at the East Cove Restaurant in Lake George, the Johnsburg Emergency Squad was awarded Agency of the Year honors by the Mountain Lakes Regional EMS Council.

Travis Howe, the CouncilÕ s director, described how Johnsburg EMS had become a model for delivering quality patient care, with limited resources, in one of the most challenging settings in the state. One example he cited was the recent purchase of a new Mercedes van ambulance, less expensive, longer lasting, and with better gas mileage than the large box ambulances. Their patient care reports are now written on iPads, with links to the doctors at the hospital, the auditors at the billing company, and the officers in the squad building, who can track every detail.

Johnsburg EMS, Howe said, has made the sometimes difficult decisions to become more efficient, to do more with less without hurting patient care.

The New York State Department of Health issues operating certificates for each agency, but it is the regional EMS council that allows that squad to treat patients in their district.

The Mountain Lakes EMS Council oversees all aspects of prehospital ambulance care in the counties of Clinton, Franklin, Essex, Warren, and Washington Ñ an area covering more than 3,000 square miles.

The CouncilÕ s director praised JohnsburgÕ s continuing efforts at improving their quality of care, an opinion that was echoed by the agencyÕ s medical director, Dr. Douglas Girling, who has stated that

JohnsburgÕ s training practices and quality improvement policies are among the best in the area.

In accepting the award, the squadÕ s captain, Kevin Fusco, commended the volunteers, without whom the agency couldnÕ t succeed. Johnsburg EMS has paid Advanced Life Support Techs on duty 24 hours a day, but the bulk of the work is done by volunteers, not only those who respond in the middle of the night to drive and help in the back, but those who do the scheduling and the care review, who set up the training classes and take inventory and purchase the medical supplies.

JohnsburgÕ s president, Kelly Nessle, who volunteers more hours than anyone, whether it’s sitting in the office most days overseeing revenues and costs, or driving every Wednesday and Thursday nights, stated that she keeps her pencil always sharpened, on the bills and the billing. Ò We are a business that delivers a very important service to the community,Ó Nessle said, Ò but if we donÕ t stay in business we wonÕ t be able to deliver that service.Ó Another noteworthy local winner was Paramedic Brian Boya, who received the award for ALS Provider of the Year.

Paramedic Boya lives and volunteers in Indian Lake, and is the captain of both Indian Lake and Newcomb squads. The long ride times to the hospital from both districts pose unique challenges to patient care and on several occasions last year, in cardiac care and severe multi trauma, his skills and experience were all the difference in getting the patient to the hospital.

Congratulations to Brian and to Johnsburg EMS.

Also, it is very popular around here. The moose is also very large.Ó (Julia Morris) Ò An owl is smart. We have a poster of an owl in our classroom that says Ò Soar with books.Ó We could change to mascot of the jaguar in the gym to an owl.

An owl is wise and has good eye sight.Ó (Dayna Studnicky)

Children bask in holiday joy at Polar Express kickoff event

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com SARATOGA SPRINGS Ñ Accompanied by his grandfather, Kai Fronk Ñ an eight-year-old boy from Wilton Ñ gazed wide-eyed at a bright-red caboose as it was pulled out of the Saratoga train station Monday Nov. 11.

The caboose’s porch was filled with young adults dressed as elves, bearing bags full of letters penned by area children and addressed to Santa. The youngsters who wrote the letters were on the stationÕ s platform, cheering and waving at the train as it sounded its horn, fired up its locomotive and headed off for the legendary North Pole.

The event was a promotion to kick off the Saratoga-North Creek RailwayÕ s Polar Express storybook holiday excursions, running several trains six days per week through Christmas.

Minutes after the trainÕ s departure, Kai FronkÕ s expression was transformed into a gleeful smile, as he was one of three children chosen from among dozens of contestants to be a Ò Junior ConductorÓ on a Wednesday run.

The random choice could not have been more appropriate. Since he was a toddler, the boy has played with model trains with his father and grandfather, building extensive train layouts in his familyÕ s basement, the boy explained after his selection was announced.

Ò IÕ m obsessed with trains,Ó Kai said, noting he was given his first train model set just months after his birth.

The familyÕ s enthusiasm for trains has extended to taking quite a few trip on the Saratoga-North Creek Railway, explained KaiÕ s grandfather, William Fronk Sr. Ò WeÕ ve had a wonderful time,Ó he said, hugging Kai. Hillary Izzo of Stillwater and her young children Daniel and Isabella were among those delivering holiday letters to the elves for delivery to Santa.

“This is a great event to find out about the Polar Express Ñ my kids are really excited Ñ and weÕ ll be taking our first trip this year,” Izzo said.

Jacqueline Staples, 17, one of elf character that gathered the holiday letters, sported a broad smile through the Polar Express kickoff event. Ò I love this Ñ itÕ s so much fun to see the joy the children are having,Ó Staples said as she boarded the caboose.

A similar sentiment was voiced by one of several special Guest Conductors for the 2014 trips Ñ state Sen. Kathy Marchione (R-Halfmoon). Ò This is a thrill of a lifetime,Ó she said of her invitation to be a figurehead for one of the Polar Express trips. Also invited to serve as Guest Conductor are Assemblyman Dan Stec and State Sen. Betty Little.

MondayÕ s event also featured distributing vouchers to U.S. veterans and active military personnel for

a free train ride during 2014.

The event served as a roll-out of the railwayÕ s Santa letter promotion. The railway has established specific drop-off points for such letters, which are specified online at: ww.sncrr.com The Polar Express trips begin Nov. 15 and run through Dec. 29. The excursions re-tell the classic childrenÕ s story of a magical Christmas train, a tale that was turned into a movie in 2004.

The series of 70 or so Polar Express train trips, taking children to Ò the North PoleÓ and back, were a first-ever for the Capital Region when introduced in 2011 Ñ and the excitement over the experience hasnÕ t faded since.

During the one-hour excursions, the classic tale comes to life, complete with singing elves, dancing chefs and a visit by Santa. The story is read aloud and the music of the movie plays aloud during the trip, prompting sing-alongs. The excursion features cookies, cocoa and caroling.

Santa boards the train at the North Pole to greet passengers and all children receive the Ò Silver BellÓ made famous by the treasured tale. Children and family members are invited to attend in pajamas.

The one-hour trips are taken daily at 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. daily (except for Monday) from Nov. 15 through Nov. 30 Ñ but not on Thanksgiving DayÑ then Dec. 1 through Dec. 22, plus Dec. 23, 27 28 and 29.

Boarding is at the Saratoga Springs Train Station,

26 Station Lane. Premium tickets include a commemorative mug. Prices range from $15 to $50 depending on age and class of service.

The Saratoga-North Creek Railway also offers scenic trips to North Creek and back throughout the year, as well as special dinner trips and Ò Snow TrainÓ service that transports skiers in style from the Capital Region to Gore Mountain Ñ as well as various small towns along the way.

For details on schedules, events, services and pricing, visit: www.SaratogaPolarExpressRide.com or see: www.sncrr.com or call 877-726-RAIL (7245).

At the Saratoga Springs rail station, Children and

their families wave good-bye to elves transporting letters to Santa on the Saratoga-North Creek Railway toward the legendary North Pole.

NORTH CREEK Ñ Looking back, Aug. 5-9 was a week of blessings, learning, and much Ò joyful noiseÓ from the busy, happy children who took part in Vacation Bible School. GODÕ S LIVING WATER was the theme for the Bible school presented by North Creek United Methodist Church (NCUMC) in partnership with St. James Catholic Church. A total of 20 dedicated volunteers carried out the program using Bible stories that related to water in a way that engaged the children and provided opportunities for faith development. Volunteers were so enthusiastic about this summersÕ VBS, that ideas are already in the Ò thinking stageÓ for next summer.

Looking ahead, children and adults at NCUMC are preparing to jam pack shoe boxes with small toys, school and hygiene items for Operation Christmas Child (OCC) on Sunday, Nov. 17, following 9 a.m worship. OCC is an annual outreach project at the North Creek church because it gives the congregation an opportunity to experience the joy of giving to children we will never know. These youngsters around the world are suffering because of war, natural disaster, poverty, disease or neglect. Everyone is invited to come join us, bring small gifts, help pack, and stay for a hearty mac and cheese lunch.

This stretch includes a turnoff to the Gore Mountain Ski Center on the Peaceful Valley Road and the turnoff to the town landfill and Ski Bowl Park. Ò There have been accidents up there constantly,Ó Vanselow said. Ò When you come from the south, and youÕ re approaching the turn onto Peaceful Valley Road to Gore Mountain, in the wintertime if there is any ice or snow on that road, people get to that intersection and slide right across into the snowbank. That happens routinely. People have been killed on that road.Ó With a lot of local support for reducing the speed along The Bypass, Vanselow said heÕ s not giving up.

“We’re appealing that through Sen. Betty Little’s office and see what kind of political power we can bear on this and get the DOT to act in a

reasonable manner,Ó Vanselow said. Ò ItÕ s just amazing that the DOT is basically non-responsive.Ó The speed limit reduction request for the Main Street business district in North Creek Ñ from 30 mph to 25 mph Ñ was made more than two years ago, and it was rejected by the DOT. Ò What they do is push it off on the SheriffÕ s Department or the State Police and say, Ô This is an enforcement issue, so weÕ ll contact them and let them know,’” Vanselow said. “How difficult is it to put up a few signs and lower the speed limit when a community wants to do this?

ItÕ s just ridiculous.Ó In 2012, Warren County placed electronic speed radar signs on Main Street, one near the Route 28N intersection to the south and one near the train station and Copperfield Inn to the north. But those are not signs reducing the speed limit to 25 mph. The supervisor also noted that the speed limit on Main Street near the North Creek firehouse is 40 mph.

Vanselow said there is also a problem with people speeding on the Harrington Road in Wevertown, which is the location of a popular

swimming hole on Mill Creek known as the Black Hole. The supervisor said he expects to file a speed-limit request to the DOT for that road as well.

“In the summertime, people go flying down that road,” Vanselow said. Ò There are kids that live along that road, and now the state DOT is telling us that they donÕ t like to post speed limits on roads like that. So IÕ m going to investigate what alternative we have.Ó In other news, Town Board members made a few adjustments to the 2014 budget after the public hearing. One major change was switching health insurance companies from MVP to CDPHP. Ò We saved a little money in the process and added a few lines in the budget where we could use a little more funding,Ó Vanselow said. Ò And then we passed the budget.Ó The final numbers did not change, he said.

The overall town budget spending is $2,883,722. That includes the General, Highway, and Library funds, plus three special districts: North Creek Water; North Creek Fire; and Johnsburg Fire. The total amount to be raised by taxes is $1,383,142.

The townwide tax rate is $114.91 per thousand assessed, an increase of 3.06 percent, which falls under the allowable increase set by the state.

Since the equalization rate is around 2 percent, that means people with property assessed at $50,000 would pay around $1,000.

Residents may see a copy of the 2014 budget at the Johnsburg Town Hall in North Creek or on the townÕ s website at www.johnsburgny.com.

Dr. O’Keefe to speak at lunch

NORTH CREEK Ñ On Dec. 2, the Johnsburg Historical Society will host its annual membership luncheon. This year we are welcoming Dr. Dan OÕ Keeffe as a featured speaker to present his newly released book, Ò Ride Up, Slide Down.Ó This 94-page book highlights the origins of skiing development in North Creek during the early 1930s and 1940s. The text was written by Dr. OÕ Keeffe and Mary Moro, with help from Dr. Tom Cunningham and Pat Cunningham. In addition to images from Dave BraleyÕ s private collection, the Johnsburg Historical Society is proud to have released some of its images from the archives to support the telling of these stories.

Dr. OÕ Keeffe and Mary Moro rode up and slid down these slopes in their youth and they tell their stories with personal pride and reflection.

Copies of the book are available by calling the Johnsburg Historical Society office at 251-5788; or look for a copy at a few other local retailers on Main Street.

Public input sought on Warren Co. budget

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY Ñ A public hearing is set for 10 a.m. Friday Nov. 15 on the proposed $154.3 million Warren County 2014 budget that was unanimously endorsed Nov. 1 by county supervisors.

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

The budget that raises the tax levy across the county by an average of 1.57 percent but dedicates about $600,000 more to upgrading county roads and $300,000 to combat invasive species in the countyÕ s waterways.

The increase in the tax levy is well below the amount allowed under the state tax cap, which in Warren CountyÕ 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 in 2014.

The county tax rates for the individual municipalities within the county, however, will be varying dramatically, due to equalization rates and apportionments.

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.

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 Ñ a 1.25 percent increase over the current year Ñ in line with increases in current collections.

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.

R

oughrider Teddy Roosevelt was known to shrug off the most miserable weather, even after having spent hours on horseback.

His obvious mental and physical toughness was not an indication that he was oblivious to the natural world. In fact, it was more likely an indication that Roosevelt was under some sort of spell.

From his earliest years, Roosevelt was inexorably linked to the land. His spent his time catching and cataloging insects, studying birds and pursuing other courses of natural history.

In 1906, the famed naturalist, John Burroughs remarked, Ò He (Roosevelt) craved once more to be alone with nature; he was evidently hungry for the wild and the aboriginal, a hunger that seems to come upon him regularly at least once a yearÉ Ó Roosevelt often placated this personal hunger with a hunting trip, a birding expedition or a camping outing. For Roosevelt, a trip into the wilds was a sure way to decompress and escape the duties of the day, and it remains so even into the internet era.

Fortunately, many of the very same natural escapes that Roosevelt once enjoyed are still available to most Americans today.

In fact, a recent study of outdoor recreation in New York provides a breakdown of New York recreation users. It reveals that 29 percent bicycle, 23 percent participate in wildlife viewing, 22 percent hike, 19 percent camp, 12 percent paddle, 8 percent fish, 8 percent snow sports and 4 percent hunt.

However, the current research indicates the recent increases are not as gender specific as most would believe. In fact, female hunters currently constitute the majority of new hunters both in New York, and nationwide.

Fortunately, the gender barriers that once defined outdoor pursuits such as hunting, fishing and camping as as the sole domain of the male of the species, have since been demolished.

Today’s women are free to ride and hunt, fish and camp, or do just about anything a man can do and occasionally, just a little bit better.

Women on the Hunt

According to the most recent US Census Bureau statistics, after remaining stagnant for over a decade, the number of female hunters surged by 25 percent in just five years between 2006 and 2011.

More women than men took up hunting last year, according to new figures from the National Sporting Goods Association.

While total hunters in the U.S. decreased slightly (.05 percent) between 2008 and 2009, the number of female hunters has increased by 5.4 percent overall.

The data also indicates women outpaced men among net newcomers to target shooting, where female participation has grown by 4.1 percent.

At last count, 11 percent of all U.S. hunters were female, compared to just 9 percent in 2006.

Hunting is a pursuit that can be enjoyed with friends, family, or alone. In recent years, many health conscious outdoor enthusiasts have taken a serious look at the concept of harvesting a source of all natural, low cholesterol, free range, humanely harvested, all organic meat. Wild harvested fish, fowl and game remain the primary local source for a fresh supply of this natural bounty.

Better yet, is all the healthy exercise thatÕ s achieved in the pursuit of such outdoor recreational outlets. ThereÕ s another factor, too: family fun. Hunting is a way for women to be outdoors and enjoy nature while spending time with husbands and children who hunt.

Other key elements responsible for the dramatic rise of modern day, woodswomen are the numerous state and national initiatives such as BOW: Becoming an Outdoor Woman, Doe Camp, and Ô Get the Girls Out!, which have created opportunities to inspire younger generations to storm mountains and develop the necessary skills to succeed on the mountains and in life!

Traditionally, a male family member has often been the person responsible for introducing children to outdoor pursuits. Typically, that person was a father, grandfather or an uncle who considered such activities as masculine pursuits that were not appropriate for women.

However, times are changing as women have become a dominant force in the field. In fact, a recent national poll revealed 85 percent of all women expressed an interest in getting involved in one or more outdoor activities in the next two years.

Currently, 61 percent of all women participate in outdoor recreation and 31 percent have introduced others to their favorite sport.

From a marketing perspective, retailers have taken notice of recent recreational trends toward women in the outdoors. Companies such as LLBean, CabelaÕ s, Orvis, Matthews, Browning and others now provide gender specific outfitting for female hunters, anglers and sportswomen.

Rather than utilizing equipment designed for children, women can now purchase new outdoor gear that was specifically created with women in mind. The new gear includes lighter bows, shorter rifle stocks, anatomically correct clothing and smaller handles on everything from fly rods to pistols to ski poles.

The new gear is being driven by new demographics which indicate women are the newest and greatest market to ever hit the outdoor industry. Not only are women increasingly interested in the outdoors, they are also responsible for deciding nearly 80 percent of

the familyÕ s expenditures.

The startling new growth in participation among women, while perhaps counterintuitive to many traditionalists, came as no surprise to the female Olympians of the USA Shooting Team, whose ever-increasing visibility has made them effective ambassadors, role models and recruiters of women to traditional outdoor sports. Ò Shooting is one of the most fun and empowering things you can teach a young girl or a grown woman,Ó explained Corey Cogdell, 23, a lifelong hunter and 2008 Olympic bronze medalist in trap shooting.

“Most men are surprised to find out that I am an avid outdoors woman and they are often intrigued to learn how they can get females in their own lives involved in hunting and shooting.Ó Cogdell is just one of several USA Shooting Team members who has parlayed an early interest in hunting into international success in shooting sports.

It was an opportunity for women that didnÕ t even exist until Women’s shooting was officially added as an Olympic sport in 1984 (although U.S. rifle shooter Margaret Murdock won a medal competing against men in the 1976 games).

Since that time, the U.S. women have won 10 Olympic medals in shooting, and four of those medals were won in the past four Olympics by Kim Rhode, a double-trap and skeet shooter who is now listed among the most elite and enduring athletes in all sports.
