This Week INDIAN LAKE

By Bill Quinlan

denpubs@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE Ñ The Indian Lake Town Board has adopted a 2014 budget totaling $4,387,645. After accounting for revenues of $640,212 and remaining fund balances totaling $83,475, the remainder to be funded by taxes is $3,663,958, a figure that is under the state cap by $18,687 or 0.552 percent.

Supervisor Brian Wells said, Ò We have our budget and it is cut to the bone É the only other places left for cutting would be in services and employees.Ó Wells went on to say that he hoped that these two areas would not have to be the focus of cuts in the future.

Comment and concerns

Also, during the November Town Board meeting, Wells opened the floor for public comment and concerns. John Collins, President of the Blue Mountain Lake Association, voiced his thankfulness to the board for their work on the budget and for being able to keep beautification efforts for the hamlet of Blue Mountain Lake in the budget. Both Wells and Collins made special mention of the wonderful work done by the Indian Lake Garden Club in keeping the town beautiful through the seasons.

Collins was followed by Jon Voorhees with a request for a resolution from the board allowing him to continue his research on hydroelectric potential, especially in regard to the Lake Abanakee Dam. Voorhees went on to outline a vision of attaching plans for an industrial zone, tax breaks and other incentives to help attract business and jobs to the town.

Hamlets 3 unveils proposals for several area downtowns

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com RAY BROOK Ñ A meeting was held recently at the Adirondack Park Agency headquarters in Raybrook to unviel proposals for the ongoing Hamlets 3 project.

Hamlets 3 is an initiative which looks at potential growth solutions for five hamlets in the Adirondack Park. It is funded by a DEC Smart Growth planning grant. The hamlets being considered are Caroga, in Fulton County in the Mohawk Valley, Indian Lake, Blue Mountain Lake and Long Lake in Hamilton County, and AuSable Forks in Essex County. Ò What weÕ re doing is looking at some of the positive development potential within the Adirondack Park map,Ó said Roger Trancik of Urban Design Consultants. Ò Our aim is really to get something done. To turn it into bricks and mortar.Ó Hamlets 3 has been in the works for five years, and follows the Hamlets 1 and Hamlets 2 projects, which took place in the mid 1980s.

Representatives from all the hamlets except AuSable were present at the meeting.

The development strategies put forth by Trancik are suggested solutions for issues peculiar to each hamlet, and each of the five proposals are markedly different. Public meetings were held recently in each hamlet, where several possibilities were discussed, and the resulting suggestions represent the consensus of those present at the meetings.

It is now up to the individual hamlets to decide whether to pursue the Hamlets 3 proposals, and up to them as well to finance the projects. Ò ItÕ s now up to the communities to make the commitments if they want to move forward,Ó said Dave Winchell, Citizen Participation Specialist with the Department of Environmental Conservation.

In AuSable Forks, the Hamlets 3 proposal focused on establishing a new multi-generational housing development on property above the Ausable River flood plane. Several sites were considered, with a site off Rolling Mill Hill finally being chosen.

Mention was made that AuSable is in line for funding assistance from New York Rising money, announced recently by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. It is the only hamlet of the five with an

already available revenue source.

In Hamilton County, proposals for the Ò Hamilton TrioÓ of hamlets were varied. The proposal for Indian Lake focused on refurbishing the core intersection area of Routes 28 and 30, and establishing a Ò Market GreenÓ area with adjacent housing clusters and fresh food marketplaces. The plan involved removing several old buildings in that area, among them the old Grand Union supermarket. Ò It would create a whole new vision or impression of that intersection,Ó said Trancik.

In Blue Mountain Lake the plan was to add a large Adirondack-styled hotel across the road from the Adirondack Museum in order to add jobs to the community, and extend the tourist season. The belief is that bringing a large hotel into the area will also increase the possibility of more restaurants and businesses coming to Blue Mountain Lake.

The proposal for Long Lake focused on the Jennings Pond area, and involved building a Ò Circular-nodal waterfront park,Ó with walkways and Adirondack styled gazebos around the park. As part of the proposed project the town of Long Lake would move its town garage buildings. Ò One of the most important next steps is to decide if this is something we want to do for ourselves, and do we want to help ourselves,Ó said Trancik.

The open discussion that followed focused on the issue of how to pay for the proposals.

Joining the three Hamilton County hamlets together in any funding projects was discussed as the most logical idea for initiating the projects.

Trancik stressed that having a document like a Hamlets 3 proposal in place will strengthen a communityÕ s chances in a competitive grant process. Ò Who is going to step up on these? Town boards, community groups? Leadership is the key. There has to be leadership to make these projects succeed,Ó said Trancik.

The specific proposals were handed out to representatives from the various hamlets, and will be available soon for download at www. adkhousing.org/hamlets.asp.

Essex County supervisors sows seeds of levy cap override

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors put the wheels in motion to override New York StateÕ s two percent tax levy cap during a special meeting Nov. 18.

Supervisors voted 15-2 in favor of introducing a local law to override the cap which would still need to go through a public hearing and a second vote of the county board where it would need to receive a 60 percent majority vote in order to receive passage. Supervisors Sharon Boisen (Essex) and Randy Preston (Wilmington) voted against the resolution.

Minerva Supervisor Sue Montgomery-Corey, who was not in the chamber for the vote, said she would have voted in favor of the resolution. Ò At this juncture, this is to get the measure into the pipeline,Ó County Attorney Dan Man-

ning said about the introductory resolution. Ò The resolution would have to be passed by a 60 percent majority vote before you pass your budget. Even if you pass the local law, that does not mandate that you have to be over the cap with your budget. There will also be a public hearing.Ó Board chairman and Jay Supervisor Randy Douglas said the hearing would either take place along with the public hearing on the tentative Essex County Budget Nov. 25 or before the Dec. 2 regular board meeting.

The tentative 2014 county budget, submitted Nov. 15 by County Manager Dan Palmer, called for a 15.16 percent increase to the tax levy from $16,461,016 in 2013 to $18,955,771 proposed for 2014.

Palmer said the 2014 budget was the first step in a five year plan to bring Essex County back to having a balanced budget. Ò Last year we tried to develop a three year plan to get us back to where we would no longer have to use fund balance and get us back

to a balanced budget,Ó Palmer said. Ò This year, we looked at a five year plan where we would be back to a balanced budget by 2018. The other option was to make it a one year plan where you would have a 33 percent increase and then be back to a balanced budget. After discussion, it was determined that a compromise should be reached and that is why we filed the budget with a 15 percent tax levy increase. The larger the increase in the first year of an recovery plan, the larger the benefits you receive at the end of the plan.Ó Palmer said that the plan would call for a 10 percent increase to the levy in year two, eight percent in year three, five percent in year four and two percent in year five. Ò It is just a matter of how you spread this increase out to the taxpayers, if you do it over three years or over five years,” Palmer said. Ò This will still be below the tax rate that was in place in 2004. We have still not exceeded that under the plan that was presented.Ó Palmer also suggested to board members

County sub-committee talks budget cuts

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ The head of the Essex County Budget sub-committee outlined steps the county could take to curtail spending.

Lewis Supervisor David Blades, who led the break-off council of the Finance Committee, reported their findings to the members of the Board of Supervisors during a special Nov. 18 meeting. Ò Many of these recommendations are not going to be popular,Ó Blades said. Ò We were asked to look for things that people might not have thought of before and bring everything to the table.Ó Suggestions from the committee included plowing highways with one operator per truck instead of two; allowing only the on-call foreman in DPW to drive a county vehicle from and to work at night; receiving bids for the landfill services and looking at increasing the price for transfer station tickets; offering the Essex County Fairgrounds in Westport to either the town or the Agricultural Society and then exploring the option to sell the property; finding more attorneys from in-

side Essex County to be assigned to court cases; contracting for family court attorney services; looking at reducing some full time positions to part time (under 20 hours); privatization of the cleaning staff; holding contract agency donations at present levels; restrictions on the number of supervisors who can attend national and state trainings; moving all committee meetings to one Wednesday each month; members of the board donating to a coffee and flower fund; and researching the purchase of tablets, eliminating copying and mailing of agendas for each of the meetings.

Blades also commented on the five year budget plan presented to the board by County Manager Dan Palmer.

“On the five year plan, it was not universal but there was enough support on the committee to recommend it to the full board,Ó he said.

Several supervisors commented on the suggestions from the sub committee. Ò You do have to take into consideration that there are some roads where it may be dangerous to have only one person in the truck,Ó Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. Ò Also, the county has been subsidizing a lot of the transfer station costs

for the towns. If you increase the tipping fee levels at the county that would be just passed on to the towns. I think we could take this one step further and turn over all of this equipment and transfer stations over to the townships.Ó Ò If you want to dissolve the county transfer station system it will work well for the big towns,Ó Newcomb Supervisor George Canon said. Ò For the little towns, if this system is dissolved then we will be holding our hands on our butt.Ó Ò I have always been an advocate of charging by weight at the transfer stations,Ó Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley said. Ò We are paying by weight to get rid of this stuff, we should be charging by weight. If we are a county system then we should be more consistent with our fees.Ó Westport Supervisor Dan Connell talked about the need for training of supervisors. Ò There is very little training for elected officials,” Connell said. “If you start saying that we cannot go to the one training that the county officials can go to, then you are cutting off your nose to spite your face.Ó

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ Retail stores in the hamlet of Warrensburg have collaborated on a Buy Local Saturday event set for Nov. 30 to introduce residents and visitors of the region to the holiday shopping opportunities that exist in town.

As of Monday, 23 businesses in Warrensburg were participating, according to Bridgette Connelly-Howe of the Greater Warrensburg Business Alliance, which is sponsoring the event.

“Collecting raffle tickets gives people an incentive to stop in and see our array of businesses from one end of town to the other, that offer a wide variety of goods and services,Ó she said.

Ò This is a great beginning to a great holiday season in Warrensburg,Ó she said, referring to the lineup of events through December Ñ including the 25th anniversary of Christmas in Warrensburgh, set for Saturday Dec. 7 and Sunday Dec. 8. This festival has new features on Saturday of an indoor holiday craft market and mule-drawn wagon rides at the town Senior Center, a living nativity from noon to 4 p.m. at Alexander Funeral Home, plus the traditiional Saturday attractions of childrenÕ s craft workshops from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and a Christmas tree lighting ceremony at 6 p.m. with live holiday music.

On Sunday Dec. 8, a Holiday Craft Fair featuring a wide variety of artisans is to be held at Echo Lake Lodge. The Warrrensburg Museum of Local History will be holding a reception on both days, as people visit their Doll House & Room Box exhibit that has generated considerable regional interest.

Another highlight of the holiday calendar is to be held Thursday Dec. 5 Ñ Local people involved in the sustainable living movement will be sharing creative home-cooked local food then browsing among locally produced crafts at the Adirondack Cooperative Economy Christmas Market & Pot Luck. The event is set for 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Free Methodist Church on River St..

That day also features the annual Warrensburgh Historical Society Holiday Dinner, scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at Lizzie Keays Restaurant.

Most of the secular holiday events conclude on Dec. 14 when Santa visits the Warrensburg firehouse from noon to 2 p.m.

On the spiritual side Ñ the townÕ s many churches, of course, will be holding an array of services through Christmas Day.

that any cuts made from the tentative plan needed to be ones that would last. Ò If you are going to make an adjustment to the budget, then it should be a permanent adjustment,Ó Palmer said. Ò If you are going to take something out that is not permanent, then you are going to have issues in coming years.Ó The 2014 tentative budget calls for $94,917,464 in spending, a .09 percent drop from $95,000,115 in 2013. Revenues are expected to increase from $71,689,099 in 2013 to $72,938,431, leaving an expected shortfall of $21,979,033.

Palmer said that the county would use $3,023,262 of appropriated fund balance to bring the levy number down to $18,955,771. Ò Our next budget is almost the same as the budget that you had last year,Ó Palmer said. Ò The Horace Nye sale and sales tax increases are helping to hold down the budget numbers over the next few years.Ó The board has until Dec. 20 to make final changes to the tentative spending plan.

Indian Lake Budget From page 1

In addition, Voorhees recommended that this concept be flushed out further and submitted to the Regional Economic Development Council for grant consideration.

Voorhees went on to a second area of focus, namely, the subject of protecting local waterways from aquatic invasives. Voorhees went on to highlight how these aquatic invasives are virtually impossible to remove once established and that the current crack down in the Lake George area could create greater visitation to lakes in Indian and Blue Mountain Lake. VoorheesÕ point was that it would be wiser to undertake a more stringent prevention program than to have to undertake the enormous costs associated with having to remove such invasives. The fact that it made far more sense to undertake the effort at the county level as opposed to the town level was discussed with VoorheesÕ objective during this meeting to start a dialogue with the board in the hopes of developing an approach that could be undertaken with and through the county. Issues of establishing wash stations to help ensure the cleanliness of launched craft and severe punitive measures for those launching a Ò dirtyÓ craft.

Wells commended Voorhees for the work and time that had already been given to the subject and suggested that the requested resolution and the subject of the aquatic invasive program be given special attention during the December meeting thus allowing for the review of the subjects in greater detail and a prepared response with questions from the board at the December meeting.

Dam Safety

Wells noted that in line with the DECÕ s wanting a Dam Safety Plan in place, the town had approached CHA Consulting for a proposal to provide professional dam engineering services for the dams at Lake Abanakee and Lake Adirondack to include conceptual spillway modification and sluice gate inspection. The inspection would require the use of professional diving personnel and videotaping. In addition, CHA is to review and coordinate with Rodney Hunt regarding a cost estimate for the gate at Lake Abanakee.

Wells asked for an approval of the proposal from CHA for this work and the associated estimate of $6,900. The board accepted both the proposal and the estimate.

Other Business

• The board passed Resolution #11 in support of New York State Public Health Law and associated Ò no smokingÓ signage to be placed at the Byron Park Play Ground, the Chain Lakes Beach Play Ground, and the Blue Mountain Lake Recreation Area.

• The Board voted to accept the resignation of Judge Thomas Atwell, effective November 12 2013.

The next regular meeting of the Indian Lake Town Board will be on December 9, 2013 at 7 p.m. in the Town Hall on Pelon Road.

Lights On

From page 1 Santa from 7 to 10:30 a.m. at the North Creek firehouse. It will be followed by the annual parade down Main Street, tentatively set for 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Santa and Mrs. Claus ride on a float in the parade.

The annual Lights On Craft Fair runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dec. 7 at the Copperfield Inn on Main Street. It will feature hand-crafted, artisan creations and a silent auction.

Minerva’s 48th annual Christmas Bazaar will be held on Friday, Dec. 6 from 4:30 until 7:30 p.m. at Minerva Central School.

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Stephen McNally was confirmed as the next supervisor of the town of Minerva after the Essex County Board of Elections counted absentee ballots Nov. 13.

McNally increased his margin of victory collecting 17 of the 27 absentee votes counted, while outgoing Supervisor Sue Montgomery-Corey received eight votes. A pair of ballots did not have a choice for supervisor marked.

The final tally gave McNally a 209-192 victory.

Corey was the lone candidate on hand for the counting of the absentee ballots and issued a statement after the tally was read.

Ò I would like to thank the voters of Minerva for the privilege of serving as their supervisor for the last four years,Ó Corey said. Ò Today, the town of Minerva completed the election of a new supervisor. I congratulate Stephen McNally and his wife, Bonnie, on his election. I know that he will enjoy his time as I have.Ó Corey also thanked her peers at the Essex County Board of Supervisors. Ò Thanks to Chairman Randy Douglas and my colleagues on the Essex County Board of Supervisors for their willingness to share their government expertise and friendship over the last four years,Ó she said. Ò Mr. McNally will, undoubtedly, benefit from his trips to Elizabethtown for the county board meetings as I have.Ó

Buy local all year round Reflections from the past O N

ext weekend, while many people will be headed off for the malls and big-box retailers, fighting the crowds as shop for holiday gifts, others will be taking a more stress-free approach: shopping at their local hometown stores.

This next weekend brings us Small Business Saturday or Buy Local Day in several communities: Ticonderoga, Warrensburg, Plattsburgh, and Bolton Landing.

Shoppers visiting the local independently-owned businesses are more likely to find unique gifts, unlike the mass-produced items in the big-box stores. In addition, they probably will be greeted with a warm smile by someone they know, who cares about their family, and participates in local community life.

In Ticonderoga, two dozen businesses will be offering deep discounts. In Bolton Landing, shoppers will enjoy open houses with refreshments and pleasant socializing. In Warrensburg, businesses will be handing out raffle tickets for valuable prizes. In Plattsburgh, local enterprises will be offering a variety of these incentives.

We applaud the local chambers of commerce in these four communities for adopting the Buy Local initiative for Saturday Nov. 30. The promotion offers a welcome alternative to the madness of Black Friday Ñ which is oriented to big-box stores, and Cyber Monday, which supports faceless e-commerce corporations.

But such awareness of our local entrepreneurs shouldnÕ t be limited to one day Ñ we should be practicing it all year long.

While Denton Publications and other community newspaper publishers have been promoting the concept for decades, the idea of shopping locally has recently been gaining traction due to the growth of the sustainable living movement.

Buying locally offers a lot of practical advantages: saving plenty on the costs involved in driving to the suburban big-box stores and malls, as well as avoiding the mayhem and jammed parking lots. Small businesses also offer more comprehensive, personalized service Ñ because the proprietors understand your needs Ñ which can mean greater satisfaction derived from purchases.

But there are other more crucial and far-reaching benefits. Shopping locally supports local job creation. Not only are small businesses the largest employer nationally, they provide the most jobs to local citizens.

Considered the backbone of the U.S. economy, small businesses have been responsible for creating about two-thirds of all new jobs in the U.S. over the past 20 years.

Small businesses build strong local economies that are more likely to weather recessions. Studies show that each dollar spent at independent businesses returns three times more money to the local economy than cash spent at a chain store. Local enterprises are also the customers of local accountants, wholesalers, attorneys, farmers, while big corporations tend to bypass such local entrepreneurs.

ItÕ s documented that since local businesses generate more tax revenue per sales dollar, they build the local tax base, supporting various vital services. ItÕ s also a fact that local businesses provide an average of 3.5 times more financial support to local non-profit groups and charities than national corporate stores.

Studies also indicate that local enterprises spend far more money locally, boosting local prosperity. Buying local minimizes impact on the environment, as it curbs sprawl and pollution while tending to encourage preservation of our communitiesÕ architectural heritage.

Spending money with local entrepreneurs is an investment in keeping our communities unique, with their own distinctive character and charm. Small enterprises are owned by local citizens who have a long-term stake in the community and itÕ s future.

Most of all, however, spending money with local hometown businesses supports the kind of vibrant, cohesive community that we want to live in, with strong social interconnections, while it curbs materialism. Simply stated, buying local promotes a more fulfilling way of life. Ñ

Letters to the Editor

Rail trail thoughts To the News Enterprise: As someone who is an avid bicycle rider, cross country skier and hiker I want to weigh in on the discussion about the possible conversion of the existing railroad corridor to a multiuse recreational trail.

Regarding cycling, there are two basic types of cyclists; those who are road bikers and those who are off road or mountain bikers. Mountain bikers like a trail system that has lots of changing terrain and challenging twists and turns.

The trail surface should be dirt and mud is accepted as part of the pleasure of the rides. Road bikers on the other hand most prefer paved surfaces and are looking for Ò loopÓ trails or for through routes that can be used for commuting or for long distance travel. Both groups enjoy having good parking and or amenities near the trails they want to use.

My wife and I have done extensive riding in many parts of the US and elsewhere and have experienced many forms of bike trails. Rail to trail conversions like the Warren County trail in the Glens Falls Lake George area and the Cape Cod Rail Trail are examples of excellent systems. Both are paved, both are in areas where there is a large recreational population and multiple access points. They both also have some interesting terrain along the route as they do not stick just to prior rail routes. On the other hand, the NYS Erie Canal Trail, the C&O Canal Trail and Le PetitÕ Nord Rail Trail in the Montreal area are unpaved and incredibly flat trails. We have ridden sections of both of these canal trails and became bored after just 15 miles and sought out nearby roads to complete our rides. The PetitÕ Nord Trail was even more discouraging. Every few miles we had to dismount and work our way around downed trees or other obstructions due to limited maintenance. A flat rail trail near Red Wing Minnesota that is paved is better but even that one is most enjoyable when used as a loop using roads for the return trip.

My point here is that if we convert the local rail corridor to a trail to be used for biking, it will need to be paved to make it enjoyable and useful. It is too flat for mountain bikers to enjoy and too long for road bikers to want to use unless paved so it can be ridden at a decent pace.

From a hiking or cross country ski perspective, a similar argument is true. The loop trails we have such as HenryÕ s Woods and the traditional Adirondack trails are more interesting because they have variable terrain and offer a round trip as opposed to an out and back trip that the rail trail offers.

As a consequence, while discussing the advantages of conversion to a recreational trail sound good, the reality is that this is not a likely big draw with one exception. It will be a great match for the snow mobile enthusiasts. Removing the rails will make this corridor more snow mobile friendly and will provide a great throughway for them.

On the rail side, the problem is that we are not looking at how to use this corridor in the 21st century. The best use is not for an engine pulling a few cars whether passenger or freight. A corridor like this needs multiple trips per day for smaller numbers of users. In Europe, they have developed very successful rail routes serving small and rural communities like ours by using single self propelled cars on the tracks.

Having such service between the towns along the whole route from Utica to Lake Placid could indeed serve a real purpose. I look at some of the bigger issues we face down the road such as perhaps the need to combine the schools in Tupper Lake, Saranac Lake and Lake Placid into a single district. Using a well timed rail service between these three communities could allow for speedy and efficient transport of students between the communities.

We should protect the rail corridor but at the same time we do need to consider a side by side trail, especially between Saranac Lake and Lake Placid and near each other communities along the route but donÕ t expect an economic boon by replacing the rails with a single multi use trail.

Support hospice services To the News Enterprise: November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month.

Many people facing life-limiting illness focus on thoughts of loss and separation. Awareness of this critical need allows us to remind your readers that hospice and palliative care are truly about living.

Over the past 40 years the number of hospice programs in the US has grown from 1,500 to more than 5,000. High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care is a resource in our community that provides comfort, dignity and respect for people at a time of need. Professional medical staff, social workers, chaplains, and trained volunteers work with patients and families to tailor expert medical care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual support according to their preferences. Hospice works with a patientÕ s personal physician to bring continuity of care to

the highest level. Other support services help with managing lifeÕ s practical tasks as well as complicated issues related to their situation. Hospice can help to resolve conflict, to deal with financial issues and submit medical bills, and to face the burden of grief. Staff and volunteers assume these responsibilities so that patients and their families can live the fullest life possible. Hospice care providers accept lifeÕ s challenges. They are committed to increasing their skills and understanding in order to enhance the care they provide to each person they are privileged to serve.

Hospice care is covered by Medicare, Medicaid and most insurance plans. Care is provided wherever the person lives: in their home or at an extended care facility. Care is available to people of all ages, with any life-limiting illness, regardless of their ability to pay.

If you or a loved one is facing a life-limiting illness, learning more about hospice and palliative care could be much more than you think.

Meg Wood Executive Director High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care

Use common sense To the News Enterprise: The recent election of five new supervisors in Essex County has caused me to think there is more to the story. Did the five sitting supervisors really deserve to be replaced or was it voter apathy that caused them to be turned down?

In most instances those elected were of the same political party, which would rule out ideology as a reason. Could it be that voters rejected the defeated because they felt more needed to be done with less? Voters always favor those who say they will cut taxes and improve services even though we know in our hearts this canÕ t be done. Perhaps voters wishfully convinced themselves it can be done and as a result they voted their pocketbooks!

History tells us many promises are made before an election and few of them are kept! Over and over again we vote for a candidate knowing his/her promises are made with the hope they are believed so they can be elected. I would guess those who voted out those sitting supervisors wonÕ t remember the reasons they voted for the victors or receive the promises the victors promised!

A real sad fact is the number of votes cast in the recent election. The polls show only a small portion of voters showed up to vote throughout the county. IsnÕ t this an indication of non-caring on the part of most voters? Here we live in a country where millions have died to protect our right to vote and many sit home on Election Day and grumble about how our government doesnÕ t work right.

I am not one of them as I deem it a privilege to honor those who fought for my freedom by voting my conscience.

Having no quarrel with any of the supervisors who were defeated or those elected, I wish them all well. My concern is that those elected will meet the same fate as their predecessors when it is time for them to be re-elected. My advice to them is to start off by letting those who voted for them know the promises made were only dressing and should not be taken as gospel! Lastly I would advise them to use common sense, as this is what sets North Country people apart from others.

Learn about Common Core To the News Enterprise: In last weekÕ s Times of Ti edition there was an article about the new educational initiative called Common Core Standards.

It has been met with much skepticism & criticism; chief among them are the “one-size fits all” approach, excessive testing, reduced teaching time, and a more intrusive government via datamining.

In the article last week NYS Education Commissioner John King claimed he canceled the remaining forums due to an unruly special interest group. Nothing could be further from the truth.

When concerned parents, teachers, and students met in Poughkeepsie in mid-October to discuss the standards, Mr. King and other officials dominated the discussion for at least 1 hour and 20 minutes.

After being promised one hour to speak the attendees were granted only 23 minutes before the panel pulled the plug on them.

As taxpayers, you too would be upset that your grievances were cut short.

Right now, Mr. King has changed the schedule to include smaller venues in the hopes they will be less vocal. As my letter goes to print the Schroon Lake meeting will have already taken place on Nov. 20. This forum may be smaller in size, but I bet theyÕ ll be no less vocal than in Poughkeepsie. I encourage every parent to do your own homework and search the internet to learn more about Common Core. Please follow that up with a visit to your school superintendents and other officials.

By Kjerstia Schilinski

hat a beautiful fall Saturday for being outside.

Great day to finish the yard work, pile wood and whatever had to be done. Thanks for those who mentioned to me about not having the news last week. Way too many things going on.

The Bakers Mills Sodom Fire company had a great turn out for the beginning of the month meeting. We appreciate all our firemen.

Alonzo Conlon and son, Aaron walked to Big Shanty last Saturday. Quite the weather when they arrived. Sleeping with only a trap was not a good idea when there was over an inch of snow. They were able to get a short drive in but headed back over the mountain on Sunday morning. They thought they were about froze and took the rest of the day to get warmed through. I remember going to Big Shanty and enjoying Thanksgiving. Dad would go in early to set up a sleep tent and a cook tent. That was when horses were allowed. Dad made sure the tents had wood stoves and were warm. Dad would then walk the family in. Dad made it warm enough so he could sit around in his undershirt. One time when hunting Dad sat on watch while Fred, Mom and I Ò barkedÓ to try and drive a deer to Dad. DonÕ t know if it ever worked. Bert and Celia Robbins spent many a hunting season in Big Shanty. While in there one year a big snow storm hit. Dad was working for the Town Highway and walked out early. Uncle George Dunkley walked out with Fred and me. It was a hard trip with so much snow. Nate Dunkley stayed in with mom. After a heavy rain Nate and Mom started out. Diamond Mountain Brook was like a river. Nate walked up stream to find a place to cross. After awhile he found a tree that fell across.

Mom said there was no way she could cross the swirling water. Nate crossed and with long encouraging words finally inch by inch Mom made it. The swirling around her feet made her want to go back and stay in the woods. Ask Nate about this trip. One he will never forget.

I took Dad to his cardiologist appointment one day last week. He had a good report. We ate at Prospect Diner in Lake George. On the way home, the wind was blowing up a very cold wind. As I turned on to Route 28 Dad mentioned how my Grandma Hester had traveled to Warrensburg in the winter with horse and buggy. It was an over night stay. No thank you. I like the heater in my car.

A great celebration for Nate and BarbÕ s 50th Wedding Anniversary gathering at Basil and Wicks in North Creek on Saturday, Nov. 16. There were over 50 there to enjoy the surprise. The event was organized by their four children, Nate Jr, Kim, Mike and Tammy and their families. The buffet was enjoyed and a beautiful round Anniversary cake with gold frosting to share with all. The DJ did a great job with the music and sense of humor. A great site to see Nate and Barb share the first dance.

The owners of the lot that used to be owned by John and Ada Cleveland are working overtime in all kinds of weather to get their little house up before winter sets in.

The walls are up.

Rollie Cleveland is happy to be home from the hospital after his fall.

Again our communities are feeling sad for the deaths of: Donna Hopkins, Bob Davis, Lois Allen and Pat Porter.

Dwight and Brenda Ordway went on vacation to visit their family. While there Dwight ended up in hospital. He will be there for awhile. Please say a prayer for the whole family.

Happy Birthday to: Keisha Sprague, Crystal Hayes, Sandy Chaineo, Kevin Stafford, Dan Bacon, Adam OÕ Dell, Steve Howe, Jessica Morehouse, Brianna Allen, Nicholas Millington, Penny Allen, Ralph Hitchcock (93), Mary Morehouse, Tony Straight, Crystal Ordway Happy Anniversary to: Nate and Barb Dunkley (50 years).

T

his Thanksgiving season I reread the words of the song Thankful by Carole Bayer Sager and made popular by Josh Groban. Ò Some days we forget to look around us. Some days we canÕ t see the joy that surrounds us.Ó Now, when IÕ m doing my dishes at the kitchen sink, I look out of the window and watch the porcupine high up in the apple tree. He eats his fill, drops a few apples on the ground, and takes a snooze.

Around these parts porcupines have a bad rap. TheyÕ re right up there with skunks and pit bulls. ThatÕ s because dog lovers hate it when their pet tangles with a porcupine and ends up with a snout full of barbed quills. But my porcupine coexists with the deer that arrives to eat the fallen fruit.

IÕ m thankful that the apple tree provides sustenance for these woodland creatures, and the sight of them is a joy for me. But this is just a small part of a much bigger picture.

The song Thankful challenges us to look beyond ourselves at the sorrow in the world, and to become an instrument of change. Ò Even though the world needs so much more, thereÕ s so much to be thankful for.Ó

LONG LAKE Ñ The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) recently completed a major effort to eradicate non-native fish from Lower Sargent Pond in Hamilton County, DEC Regional Director Robert Stegemann announced today. The pond will be stocked with fish next year to reestablish the high quality, naturally reproducing native brook trout fishery that had existed there before its population was depleted due to the presence of the nonnative fish. Ò Native brook trout populations have been significantly reduced in the Adirondacks and other areas throughout the east, but we are committed to restoring these populations in local waters,Ó said Director Stegemann. Ò This tremendous coordinated effort will ensure the continued existence of a natural aquatic community and provide a high quality wilderness fishing experience for anglers.”

Providing a high quality wilderness fishing experience on Lower Sargent Pond promotes Gov. CuomoÕ s Ò NY Open for Hunting and Fishing Initiative,Ó which has improved recreational activities for in-state and out-of-state sportsmen and sportswomen, and boosted tourism opportunities throughout the state. This initiative includes the streamlining of hunting and fishing licensing along with reduced license fees, improved access for fishing at various sites across the state and increased regional hunting and recreational opportunities.

The eradication of non-native fish, followed by restocking with native brook trout is a key component of DECÕ s Brook Trout Restoration Program. DEC is a partner in the Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture (http://easternbrooktrout.org/),

which is working to protect, restore and enhance brook trout populations and habitats across their native range.

For decades Lower Sargent Pond was considered a high quality fishery, which sustained a natural reproducing brook trout population. It was one of the most popular fly-in fishing destinations in the Adirondacks, and many anglers would walk the two miles into the pond to fish for brook trout.

As the abundance of largemouth bass increased in the pond, the brook trout population severely declined. In 2012, no young brook trout were present; only large, older brook trout that had been hatched before the bass population had grown. The decline in the brook trout population was not due to overfishing.

The primary causes were illegal fish stocking and use of bait fish.

The eradication of non-native fish from a water body is known as a Ò reclamation.Ó The reclamation procedure is used to return the water to a historic natural aquatic community, provide higher quality fishing opportunities and, where possible, to reintroduce endangered fish species such as round whitefish.

The reclamation of the 131-acre Lower Sargent Pond is the largest reclamation in New York State in several decades. A considerable amount of resources and a extensive coordination were needed to complete the reclamation over a fiveday period. The effort included the participation of dozens of DEC staff from various regions and programs, and assistance from the State Police Aviation Unit for helicopter transport of personnel, equipment and supplies. There were 37 trips by helicopter during the project, but many workers still had to walk two

miles to and from the nearest road carrying equipment and supplies.

Non-native fish, such as bass, yellow perch and golden shiner, negatively impact the native fish communities and ecosystems of Adirondack waters. Nonnative fish prey on the eggs and young of native fish. They out compete brook trout and other native fish by consuming large quantities of zooplankton (very small aquatic animals) and other prey food that the native fish feed upon.

It is illegal to move fish from one water body to another without a permit from DEC. The possession or use of fish as bait is prohibited in Lower Sargent Pond and many other trout ponds in the Adirondacks to prevent the introductions of non-native fishes.

Adirondack heritage strain Little Tupper brook trout will be stocked in the pond next year. It is projected that in the next three to five years, Lower Sargent Pond will once again be a high quality wilderness brook trout fishing destination.

Brook trout thrive on a diet of insects and other invertebrates, and grow to a large size in ponds that do not have minnows as forage. The current state record brook trout is a 6 pound fish caught in an Adirondack wilderness pond that contains no other fish species. Minnows can become abundant in a pond or lake and compete with brook trout for food Ð decreasing the brook trout population.

More information on protection of native brook trout, impacts of non-native fish, rotenone and other topics can be found on the DEC Protecting Adirondack Fish web page at http://www.dec. ny.gov/outdoor/31920.html.

New $30M science, nursing building envisioned for SUNY Adirondack

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com

QUEENSBURY Ñ Years from now, SUNY Adirondack will be reoriented toward preparing many of its students toward careers in health care, technology and science, if the collegeÕ s new president, Kristine Duffy has her way.

Friday Nov. 15, Duffy gave a presentation to the Warren County Board of Supervisors that described a long-term objective of preparing SUNY Adirondack students for rewarding 21st-century careers through offering intensive courses. The course curriculum would be targeted to fulfill specific career opportunities locally.

She said the college’s officials were considering offering an array of new programs in health care management, information technology, advanced manufacturing, qqquality assurance, natural resources conservation, environmental research, food processing and distribution, cyber-security, entrepreneurship, as well as training for medical assistants.

To achieve this initiative, Duffy said the collegeÕ s administration and trustees were looking at constructing a new 70,000-square foot building to accommodate not only the new programs theyÕ d like to launch, but existing programs in nursing, science and technology. Ò Expanded space allows for growth as well as better accommodating our existing programs,Ó she said, noting that SUNY Adirondack now has about 250 students enrolled in its nursing programs.

She said the college was applying for a state SUNY 2020 grant that would provide up to $20 million to provide about two-thirds of the buildingÕ s construction cost.

The county supervisors passed a resolution in support of the

and Temple Taylor and the Adirondack Museum Store.

In addition to shopping, visitors are invited to see how many of their gift items are crafted.

While parents shop for their holiday gifts, youngsters are invited to attend the Ò Gifts to GiveÓ ChildrenÕ s Workshop, which is designed to engage youngsters in hands-on activities as they make their holiday gifts.

New on this yearÕ s tour will be Ò Story Time with Mrs. and Mr. Claus.Ó During this visit, youngsters will hear special Christmas stories, enjoy hot chocolate and cookies and take family souvenir photos with Mr. and Mrs. Claus.

An annual family favorite on the tour continues to be WillemsonÕ s Model Train Exhibit and Demonstration. While there, check out the beautiful jewelry on display at the WillemsonÕ s.

Also, during the visit, interested shoppers are invited to see their personal ring being made while they wait.

The Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts holiday production will feature Ò Miracle on 34th Street.Ó This musical is pure family entertainment and will feature many local performers. The musical will be held, 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 29 and 7 p.m. Satur-

At a recent meeting of the Warren County Board of Supervisors, SUNY Adirondack President Kristine Duffy explains an array of new programs that she and the college trustees would like to establish. The county officials approved the college submitting a grant application for up to $20 million to bankroll a new building, to accommodate programs in nursing, science, engineering and technology.

collegeÕ s grant application.

Duffy estimated that the cost to launch the new array of programs would be about $200,000 annually, and these new educational offerings would attract students that are now going elsewhere for such targeted career preparation. day, Nov. 30 at the Indian Lake Theater. Admission is $20, $15 for members and $5 for children 12 and under accompanied with their parents.

The Ò Let There Be LightsÓ holiday lighting and decorating contest, sponsored by the Indian Lake Chamber of Commerce, is a local family favorite and is designed to promote community pride and holiday spirit among Indian Lake residents, businesses and community organizations. A drive around town is a must to view creative lighting and decorative displays. Winners of the lighting contest will be announced during the closing ceremonies.

The annual Country Christmas Tour Closing Ceremony will be held Saturday, Nov. 30, at the Ski Hut on Route 30. During the ceremony, sponsors of the Ò Let there Be LightsÓ holiday contest will present cash awards to winners. The agenda will also include door prize drawings, courtesy of CCT artisan and crafters. There will be free hot chocolate and cookies and dee-jay Bob Marriott.

Visitors to Indian Lake will be able to locate artisans and crafters, businesses and activities with ease, as brochures/maps will be available at the Chamber of Commerce, Town Hall and at many businesses and crafters throughout the town.

Full power, full moon

I

first took notice of the full power of a Full Moon during my two year stint working as a Residence Hall Director at Plattsburgh State.

Invariably, I was the one who always pulled the short straw and ended up as the Director on Duty during a full moon weekend.

In the course of my first two tours of duty scouting the campus for trouble, I encountered more drunken students, accidental injuries and similar instances of non-conforming behaviors than I experienced for the remainder of the school year.

And mind you, Plattsburgh State was a really notorious party school during the 1970Õ s and Ô 80Õ s. Exhibitions of bad behavior and misconduct were the rule, rather than an anomaly.

The Residence Hall staff always worked closely with the Campus Police to lower the level of disobedience. However, we quickly learned where the term Ô lunacyÕ comes from, as we witnessed the normally sane students run amuck like lunatics for two full nights of near full lunar exposure.

On weekends with a forecast of a full moon, the Director of Residence Life regularly issued Moonlight Madness alerts to warn of bad behavior. Janitorial staffers often used their personal days on Mondays, following a full moon event. There was usually just too much of a mess for them to deal with.

By now, readers of this column are probably wondering what any of this ancient history has to do with a current outdoor column.

Well, the point of this background story is to illustrate the power moon phases affect all animals, even humans.

Last weekend, many whitetail hunters came to realize this power, as the Rutting Moon came to pass.

This moon phase, is often confused with the HunterÕ s Moon which occurred on Sept. 19 this year.

The Rutting Moon, which occurred on Sunday, Nov. 17 is the single, most important date in a deer hunterÕ s year, as it signals the peak of the rut, the whitetails mating season.

By the time you read these words, the rut will have already peaked, and the bucks will still be looking for love in all the wrong places.

As evidenced by the behavior of college students I witnessed in the 1970Õ s, all animals are affected by the pull of the moon. Animal House wasn’t a documentary film, but it wasn’t all fiction either.

Fortunately for deer hunters, evidence has well established that a majority of whitetail does will be in peak estrus through the end of the week.

This is also a timeframe when bucks get weak in the knees, after chasing down all the does they can find. It is also a time when hunters get weak in the knees after putting in some long cold days on the stand, waiting for their buck to stroll by.

Over the past weekend, it was evident that deer were on the move.

We had over a half dozen sightings, with just two shorts days in camp. If the weather cooperates, (read snow and cold), I expect there will be a lot of deer taken this weekend.

Whitetails 101: The Learning Curve

My first trip into hunting camp came at the ripe old age of 11, which is considered rather late by most Adirondack standards.

On my first trip, I was a guest at the Niambi Hunting Club, which was located near North Creek.

My own children first went to hunting camp when they were still too young to walk all the way. My packbasket always got heavier as the closer I got to camp, with the girls curled up among the hunting clothes, food and other essentials.

I made up for my late start by asking questions, and listening to a lot of experienced hunters.

Although I am far from an experienced hunter, I do recognize some of the best advice IÕ ve learned in my quest to improve my odds of harvesting a buck.

Unfortunately, there is not one, single solution to the puzzle.

Rather, it is comparable to a long series of steps that must be taken in order to reach the top of the hill. Shooting skills are just the beginning.

Scent control probably ranks second. Learn to monitor the wind regularly. A pocket full of puffball mushrooms is very useful in this regard.

A major key to the process begins by observing deer, which is very difficult to do if you don’t know where to find them.

When you do find deer, which are often out in the fields during the late summer, take the time to study their shapes. Note the flat back, the four posts of legs, the flicker of white from the tail.

Other obvious tell tail signatures are the black dot of a nose, the black sheen of a hoof, the square shape of a full body or the point of an ear.

You need to get really good at recognizing just the parts and pieces of a deer, before youÕ ll ever have a chance to see a whole one. They have an amazing ability to blend into the natural cover and simply disappear.

It may seem to be difficult, but finding and recognizing deer are the easy part of the puzzle. The really tough part is controlling your emotions, and the accompanying adrenaline.

Buck fever isnÕ t a joke, as most hunters have experienced a bout or two of the malady. It begins with the shakes and ends with deep breathing and alot of Ò what ifÕ s.Ó In between is usually a bit of hell.

It often begins with the first sighting, and grows as the target gets nearer. On average, a hunter has less than seven seconds from first sight to final shot. That’s about the length of time it took you to read this paragraph.

In that timeframe, a hunter must confirm the deer is actually a

www.newsenterprise.org

buck, and small horns are often difficult to see when they’re hidden by large ears. It is an almost impossible feat to accomplish when the background is all brown, and especially when it includes beech whips. This must be accomplished as your breathing becomes difficult and your knees grow weak.

On my first experience hunting with a bow, I could hardly move when a deer appeared directly below my stand. I was frozen like a teenager awaiting a kiss on the first date. I didn’t know what to do, as my heart was nearly pounding out of my chest.

But I remembered the advice of a friend. DonÕ t look at the whole deer, focus on one point of aim and be sure to follow through and watch the deerÕ s reaction. Often the reaction will provide an indication of your aim. Mark the line it runs in your mind.

One of the most common mistakes a beginner makes is to rush things after a shot. It is only natural to want to hurry over and see if you hit it. Fight the urge. One old timer advised me to pack a pipe full of tobacco immediately after you shoot, and donÕ t go looking for the deer until you’ve finished it.

If you missed, youÕ ll be calmed down. If you hit it, the deer will likely have run a ways and died. Never pressure a deer thatÕ s been hit, they can run a long ways on adrenaline, and itÕ s always a long drag home.

Leave your hat, or some other item as a marker on the location where your took the shot. It will help you to find where the deer was when it was hit.

News Enterprise - 11

Former Elizabethtown resident, Fred Myers sent along these photos of some of the trophy whitetail deer he has been raising on a large private ranch in Texas. Even though the whitetails were still in velvet when the photos were taken, the size of the headgear is truly amazing. Fred and his brother Tom continue to spend their time on the hunt whenever time permits. It is easy to understand the reason why.

A hunterÕ s best weapons are patience, persistence and perseverance. It is a mindset that becomes a mantra. It is a learned behavior that is only achieved through confidence. It is not fun to go back out on a cold miserable day when the wind is whipping snow into your eyes and the only thing you can see is your own breath.

Be on your watch in the dark, and exit the woods after the sun has set.That’s what flashlights are made for and it’s what real hunters are made of.
