Residents want speed limit reduced

This Week LONG LAKE

By Pete DeMola pete@denpubs.com

NORTH CREEK Ñ While the colors of the season have dissolved into a muted white and gray, area residents are seeing red over what they perceive as a lack of official responsibility taken toward a nasty stretch of road cutting through the Town of Johnsburg Ñ a 1.9 mile corridor of Route 28 that slashes through seven intersections and has steadily racked up a lengthy list of official complaints, informal grumblings and in some cases, twisted heaps of smoking metal and broken bones.

The exact details are hard to pin down Ñ they are a murky, Byzantine tangle of muddled rumors, denials, claims, dropped phone calls and secrets draped in bureaucratic obstacles Ñ but some facts are indisputable.

Jeffrey Tennyson, the Warren County Superintendent of Public Works, sent a request to the State of New York Department of Transportation Region One on June 17, 2013 to conduct a speed limit investigation on Route 28 in the Town of Johnsburg between the northerly and southerly intersections of County Route 77, also known as Main Street.

Nineteen weeks later, on Oct. 31, 2013, Regional Traffic Engineer Mark J. Kennedy wrote back to Tennyson informing him that a speed limit reduction on the requested section of Route 28 was not warranted at this time. Ò We took radar measurements of prevailing traffic speeds in the section of highway just west of Gore Mountain Ski Center Õ s main entrance,Ó Kennedy wrote, CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

Broadband internet service coming to Long Lake

By Pete DeMola pete@denpubs.com

SCHROON LAKE Ñ For many local residents, the upcoming year will be the first they have access to high-speed broadband Internet service, bringing a long-overdue sense of relief that became cemented after last monthÕ s announcement that the stateÕ s chief economic development agency had approved more than $14.5 million in state broadband grants.

The funds will support a series of projects that will expand access to broadband services for more than 1,200 households and nearly 100 businesses in Schroon Lake and North Hudson in Essex County and Long Lake in Hamilton County.

“Access to high speed Internet is a critical resource for businesses and residents in todayÕ s global economy,Ó said Governor Andrew Cuomo

said in a statement. Ò These grants will connect underserved and rural communities to the many benefits of broadband access, including giving local businesses the opportunity to reach consumers from around the world.Ó Schroon Lake and North Hudson will see the placement of 60 miles of fiber cable that will bring service to 544 currently unserved households and 20 businesses. Long Lake will see service expanded to 683 households and 67 businesses.

The service will be provided by Slic Network Solutions, a St. Lawrence County-based internet service provider who has steadily been

Sunny forecast for state’s snowmobile tourism Area residents, officials hope upcoming land classification will expand winter tourism

By Pete DeMola pete@denpubs.com

LONG LAKE Ñ With the biting cold comes winds of optimism brought by the familiar revving of the regionÕ s national mechanical bird, the snowmobile,

a siren call that may breathe new life into a region that is eager to showcase one of its most prized assets, its hundreds of miles of snowmobile trails.

The North CountryÕ s tourism industry received statewide attention last week when Gov. Andrew Cuomo travelled to Lewis County to launch the first part of a $4.5 million winter tourism campaign designed to promote snowmobiling, skiing and other recreational activities to New York City residents and tourists, an act that local officials, snowmobile organizations and business leaders hope will bring a new injection of tourism to a region struggling to

sustain an ailing wintertime economy. Ò This season, we welcome visitors from around the world to experience winter in upstate New York,Ó Cuomo said in a statement. Ò The North Country region is unmatched in its natural beauty and now offers new recreational trails for snowmobiling and a wide variety of other activities for outdoor enthusiasts of all ages to explore.Ó The campaign, which was officially launched in New York City on Jan. 1 with a multi-pronged approach Ñ including full-page color ads in the New CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Pilot: market Warren Co. airport as home-base for jointly owned aircraft

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY Ñ The county airport advisory committee, formed following recent controversy over the venueÕ s operating deficit and pending runway expansion, exhibited harmony in its first meeting Dec. 16.

In a spirit of collaboration, members of the committee — which represents a cross-section of stakeholders in the airport Ñ discussed a variety of ideas to promote the airport and boost its use and revenue.

Queensbury resident Harrison Freer, chosen by the Glens Falls PilotsÕ Association to represent their interests on the committee, suggested that the airport be marketed to pilots who have fractional ownership in aircraft Ñ like time-shares in resort property Ñ which he said was a growing trend. Ò We should make this airport an attractive home for such group owners of aircraft,” he said. “It represents a lot of win-win opportunities.Ó Warren County Economic Development czar Ed Bartholomew, another member of the committee, proposed that the committee pursue the objectives of increasing the number of aircraft and pilots, boost ancillary uses, and explore establishing ground transportation to and from the airport.

He suggested that effective marketing of the airport could include enhancing the facilityÕ s website, printing and distributing brochures, advertising in trade publications, and attending trade

shows.

Warren County Public Works Superintendent Jeff Tennyson suggested examining other airports and assessing their services with the aim of increasing the county airportÕ s competitive advantage. Ò We want to bring in new jobs, new businesses and prompt new land development,Ó he said.

Bartholomew voiced a parallel idea, suggesting that the committee first assess the county airport’s existing strengths and weaknesses in services and facilities, then survey business proprietors and pilots to determine their needs and wants.

Besides Freer and Bartholomew, serving on the committee are airport manager Ross Dubarry; airport fixed base operator Rich Schemerhorn or his operations manager Steve Abbott; and Queensbury at-large Supervisor Bill Mason Ñ who was voted in as the panelÕ s chairman. The committee members said he would serve well in the post, despite the fact his tenure as a county supervisor ends Dec. 31, because he was well-informed on airport issues.

The group decided to meet monthly, at 10:30 a.m. on the Monday before the third Friday of the month, at the airport terminal.

This ad-hoc committee is to report to the Warren County Economic Development Committee, offering suggestions for airport promotion and service enhancement. The committee would also be maintaining informal communication with the county Facilities Committee, through the latter groupÕ s chairman, Dan Girard. The Facilities Committee oversees the airportÕ s operation.

The committee endorsed the suggestion of county Administrator Paul Dusek that the meetings be open to the public, except for discussion of specific pending contracts of a competitive nature.

It was also decided to transcribe minutes of meetings, narratives that would include descriptions of dissenting minority opinions.

The next meeting of the airport advisory committee is set for 10:30 a.m. Jan. 13.

Controversy concerning the airport surfaced earlier this year after Queensbury at-large supervisor Mark Westcott suggested that the airport’s annual deficit of $800,000 be slashed. Westcott was present for the Dec. 16 meeting, as were several other county supervisors HIGH-QUALITY PRINTING • FAST TURNAROUND • AMAZINGLY LOW PRICES

Riparius woman charged with welfare fraud for medical aid RIPARIUS — Lynette Delczeg, 40 years of age, of 493 River Road, Riparius was charged with Welfare Fraud in the 2nd degree and four (4) counts of Offering a False Instrument for Filing in the 1st Degree after an investigation into a report from the Warren County Department of Social Services (DSS) that she failed to accurately report her household address and composition when she filed an application and re-certifications to receive Medical Assistance benefits.

The complaints allege that while residing in the Town of Corinth in Saratoga County from 2010 thru 2013, Delczeg filed multiple appli-

cations to obtain medical assistance benefits from the Warren County Department of Social Services, claiming that she lived in Riparius in Warren County. As a result, she obtained more than $50,850 in Medicaid benefits that she was otherwise not entitled to receive.

Delczeg was arraigned in Queensbury Town Court on 1/6/2014 and was released on her own recognizance and was directed to re-appear on February 3, 2014.

The investigation was conducted by Warren County Sheriff’s Investigator Kevin W. Conine and Warren County Department of Social Services Investigator Sharon Walter.

Speed

Continued from page 1 Òan d found that 35 percent of traffic was exceeding the current speed limit with an 85th percentile speed of 59 mph. This would indicate that the road is properly signed for existing conditions.Ó Sometime in early-December, a sandwich board sign went up outside of the Adirondack Tri-County Nursing and Rehabilitation Center nearby the intersection of Ski Bowl Road and Route 28 that warned motorists Ò Dangerous Intersection Ahead” in fluorescent orange letters. Ò Use caution.Ó John Parker, Director of Support Services at Tri-County, put that up after staff at the elder care facility decided something needed to be done. Ò ThereÕ s been substantial accidents out front at least once per year,Ó said Parker, who has been working at TriCounty for 12 years. “It’s the number one section for accidents around here, thereÕ s been some real doozies, so I made a sign, four-by-four. I made that sign and put it right out front.Ó So far, said Parker, his decision has been met with near universal acclaim. Even the Tri-County Board were aware and had no objection to the sign being placed on the property.

The most recent accident was sometime in mid-November when Tri-County employee Allison Galusha gingerly pulled out on Route 28 after her shift as an activities aide at the facility shortly after 5 p.m. and collided with another vehicle, breaking her shoulder and going on a medical leave, said facility administrator Hal Payne.

“I have been working here in North Creek for four years and there is a real problem with that intersection,Ó said Payne. “I know of four very serious accidents of our employees trying to exit Ski Bowl Road onto Route 28. I petitioned the town to see if they could get the speed reduced to try and make it safer and they were denied.Ó HOW MANY ACCIDENTS? The News Enterprise submitted a Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request last

Thursday, Jan. 2 for the results of all DOT-conducted traffic studies between the year 2000 and the present.

At least two, though, have been stimulated from requests

by Tri-Country staffers. Ò Accidents are always the same scenario,Ó said TriCounty Director of Social Services Jessica Hitchcock. “I’ve worked here for three years and seen two firsthand, and growing up in this town, I’ve heard about so many others.Ó Recently retired town judge, James L. French, she said, had a standard response whenever there was another incident: Ò Take one of these forms,Ó he would say. Ò Write to the DA, file a report and plead it down.Ó Ò You can only see twotenths of a mile down,Ó said Hitchcock. “I’m always cautious and I still got nailed knowing how dangerous it was.Ó Hitchcock was eight months pregnant back in January 2011, and a new Tri-County employee, when she got clipped by a passing motorist as she was pulling her 2008 Mercury Mariner onto Route 28 from Ski Bowl Road. She suffered fetal-maternal hemorrhage, or the loss of fetal blood cells into the maternal circulation after sustaining a trauma. Ò Our bloods mixed together

and I almost lost the baby,” she said.

While both Mom and son Abel have fully recovered and are happy, HitchcockÕ s insurance company dropped her after finding her at fault, paying out $250,000 to the other driver, whose vehicle was also totaled. She got ticketed by the police for failure to yield the right of way Ñ details are hazy as to which agency, the state or the county, issued the citation Ñ and couldnÕ t work for 12 weeks as she stayed home recovering from her internal injuries.

“If people adhered to the speed limit, youÕ d probably see a reduction in accidents,Ó she said. Ò But they donÕ t and this keeps happening.Ó Johsnburg Supervisor Ron Vanselow is also in favor of reducing the speed limit. Ò For some strange reason that I cannot fathom, they are determined not to lower the speed limit,Ó Vanselow said in reference to the Department of Transportation.

The stretch down Peaceful Valley Road, through Route 28 and toward Gore Mountain, he said, sees accidents all winter that donÕ t get reported. Ò The state simply parked a trooper with a radar gun to monitor speeding and havenÕ t given us any accident statistics,Ó he said. Ò And now that

ORDA is working with the town to open another section of Gore Mountain that will result in more traffic to the area, which will only aggravate an already perilous situation.Ó Ò The state doesnÕ t seem aware or interested in this activity,Ó said Vanselow, Ò and there are more frustrating bureaucratic aspects. All the town roads have speed limits set by state. We canÕ t even change the limits on extremely local roads, like the dirt road over in North River Ñ the state denied our request. It’s frustrating especially because it doesnÕ t seem to make any sense whatsoever.Ó VanselowÕ s secretary, Cherie Ferguson, agreed: Ò You can only use a single form when you file reports to the state,” she said. “It goes from the county to state and you canÕ t submit any other info as an auxiliary to back up your claim: no fire, police or accident reports Ñ only the form and then the DOT comes up and does the inspection.Ó Ò Neither myself, my undersheriff [Shawn Lamouree] or my lieutenant have received any formal complaints,Ó said Warren County Sheriff Nathan Ò BudÓ York. Ò But thatÕ s not to say that individual law enforcement officers haven’t

received any complaints.Ó York said that the SheriffÕ s Department can do little except enforce the current speed limit.

The News Enterprise also submitted a FOIL request to Undersheriff Lamouree to discern the number of Ò reports filed from collisions, citizen complaints or calls to accidentsÓ between the year 2000 to the present.

But Route 28 is a state highway, which means both the SheriffÕ s Department and the state police have jurisdiction over the road Ñ and it spans two counties, Essex and Hamilton.

Therefore, a FOIL request was also submitted to the state police to determine if they have responded to an unusual number of accidents

at the intersection of not only Route 28 and Ski Bowl Road, but throughout the general vicinity.

State Sen. Elizabeth OÕ C Little said she, too, is aware of the situation. Ò WeÕ re working with the Regional Director of the State of DOT, Sam Zhou, to respond to these issues and heÕ s been very responsive to see what can be done,Ó Little said.

Engineers need to look at the speed and visibility, she said. The state is very thorough and there is a process that they have to go through, she said. Ò Enforcement needs to be backed up: Working with that, we can see if it helps and we will continue to work with them. But even one accident is too many,Ó Little said.

Douglas returned to Essex County stand as chairman for fifth term

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — For the fifth time, Randy Douglas took the oath of office as the leader of the Essex County Board of Supervisors.

The Jay Supervisor was unanimously elected to serve an unprecedented fifth term as the boards chairman, with vice chairman Bill Ferebee of Keene being re-elected as well.

“It is an honor to work with all of you in this capacity,” Douglas said during the Jan. 6 Organizational Meeting. Ò Together, with all of you, we have worked very hard to keep all Essex County needs on the minds of our state and national leaders. I can assure that I have given my heart and soul to this position and will continue to do so. I can tell you that the state of this county is strong.Ó Douglas talked about continuing to push through the challenges that have faced the county over the past four years, which have included the potential closure of the Moriah Shock Facility, the closure of the Lake Champlain Bridge, and natural disasters like Tropical Storm Irene. Ò Because of what we have learned from that trying time we are so much better prepared and nothing phases us any more,Ó Douglas said. “We have worked well with Gov. (Andrew) Cuomo, who has gone above and beyond the call of duty to assist us in our most difficult times. I know the North Country’s well being is near and dear to his heart.Ó

Douglas also spoke about tackling fiscal restraints at the county level. Ò We convinced the state legislature to support our income tax percentage increase,Ó he said. Ò We visited all the department heads to see first hand their operations. Some may say we did not do enough, some may say we went to far. It will continue to be a fine line to juggle what we need in Essex County and what we can afford. If you really think about it, we have averaged to two percent levy limit that the governor is asking for.Ó The key to the success of the board, Douglas said, has been the ability of all sides to work together.

“Its called compromise, common ground and respect for each otherÕ s opinions and sitting together at the same table to come together for the best interests of the county,Ó Douglas said.

Douglas also addressed the newest members of the board, including Bill Grinnell (Ticonderoga), Stephen McNally (Minerva), Noel Merrihew (Elizabethtown, former board chairman), Shaun Gilliland (Willsboro) and Ed Gardner (Essex).

“I can tell you the job is difficult,” he said. “I assure you your way of life has changed as of Jan. 1. However, I can tell you that this is the most rewarding job you will ever have.Ó Douglas also spoke about continuing to work with county department heads to curb spending as well as forming committees to look at the fairgrounds in Westport, home nursing care and working with the town of North Hudson and local Native American leaders on the potential for a casino at the former Frontier Town.

Ò They provided excellent answers for our questions and concerns and were the best candidate for the job,Ó said Schroon Lake Town Board member Don Sage on how the town agreed on Slic. Ò WeÕ re real grateful the funds are finally coming and just ask that folks continue to be patient.Ó Slic President Phil Wagschal said the engineering phase of the project is complete and much of the remaining work is weather-depen-

dent and will be rolled out in three phases. He hopes work on constructing the new lines will begin in both communities by summer.

Much of the grant funding will be for the, Ò last mile,Ó of service, he said, or the actual connection from the equipment to peoplesÕ homes.

This prohibitive expense is why grants are necessary subsidize the projects, said Wagschal.

The state will provide 80 percent of the total cost while Slic will fund the remaining 20 percent, much of it through installation fees.

Grants were awarded last year around this time.

Cuomo plans property tax freeze

Jay Supervisor Randy Douglas is joined by wife Peggy as he was sworn in for his fifth term as Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman by County Clerk Joseph Provoncha Jan. 6.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Less than a week into the new year, the Essex County Board of Supervisors may already have a stiff challenge when it comes to staying with their budget plan.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo showed his fiscal hand two days prior to the annual State of the State address Jan. 6, proposing a two-year property tax free for residents as long as their political leaders keep budget increases within the stateÕ s tax levy cap.

Under his proposal, tax credits would be given to residents of any municipality where the government stays within the cap in the next two fiscal years which would, in essence, freeze their tax rate.

“If they stay within the cap in year one, we will credit the residents of the locality for the

two percent increase,Ó Cuomo said in his press conference.

“In year two, the locality must stay within the tax cap and also must take steps to eliminate costs through shared services or consolidation.Ó For 2014, Essex County increased their tax levy 13.35 percent, the first step in a five year plan to bring the county back to a balanced budget.

“I have not seen the whole thing yet so I do not have anything official to say on it,” County Manager Dan Palmer said when asked about the Cuomo initiative. “What I have always said, though, and my main problem with the tax cap is that it has nothing to do with the taxes that you pay. Essex County has a tax rate of $2.82 (per $1,000 assessed property value) and while Clinton County is over $6 and based on this year, their residents would get the credit.Ó

band Committee, Don Sage spearheaded the grant application process that started three years ago. Ò Ninety to 95 percent of those currently unserved in Schroon Lake will now receive service,Ó he said.

Charley Hill Road, Hoffman Road and Paradox Lake-area residents currently rely on private dishes, if anything, for their online needs, an expensive and often-unreliable way of accessing the internet that is prone to interruptions and glitches.

At present, town residents have access to service provided by Time Warner and wireless through Verizon, Sage said. Outside of the village, the only option is dial-up, a service that residents of more densely populated neighborhoods across the country bypassed a decade ago with advances in optical fiber technology.

The new service will give everyone a muchneeded chance to get online across the board, said Sage, noting that it’s particularly beneficial for local students who will no longer have to go to the Schroon Lake Public Library to get online, often having to wait their turns in order to access the limited computer terminals.

Schroon Lake Central School District Superintendent Bonnie Finnerty, who is among those who are currently unserved, said the district was excited about the project because many students will now be able to do projects outside of the classroom. Ò Currently, weÕ re creative in our ways to provide online course material for those who donÕ t have it,Ó she said.

Students are often required to access online review materials for classes, a requirement that posed a dilemma for those without Internet access. Tight schedules often made it even more difficult for students to get online after school hours. Ò Teachers went above and beyond to provide the materials through any means possible,Ó Finnerty said, which included copying course materials to external hard drives and DVDs so that students didnÕ t fall behind their more wellconnected peers.

Finnerty said the expanded services will increase the potential for enhanced courses in the future.

Long Lake

Palmer said the county has looked at ways to consolidate services, which is part of year two of the freeze. Ò The real big elephant in the room for schools and towns is the consolidation issue, but it is still kind of a dirty word out there,Ó Palmer said.

Essex County Board Chairman Randy Douglas said in hindsight, maybe the county should have bit the complete bullet in their planning for the 2014 budget. Ò What may have been better for us looking at it now would have been to do the 30-percent increase to get us back to a balanced budget this year and then we would be reap the benefits of the credit next year,Ó Douglas said. Ò What is frustrating is weÕ ve had seven years where we had a zero percent increase and we worked hard to share services and we have not received any credits for that.Ó

Supervisor Clark Seaman said he looks forward the new opportunities that the improved service will provide to the town. Ò The high-speed that will be available is outstanding and I’m looking forward to it personally, also for here at the office,” he said.

“It’s going to be a huge improvement for us and it’s nice to finally be caught up with the technology.Ó Cable will be laid on Route 28 to Newcomb, on Kickerville Road and towards Blue Mountain, Seaman said.

The town also plans to install wireless pods throughout the town to beam signals across the townÕ s eponymous lake, on the shores on which sit many seasonal residences and businesses for part-time occupants. Seaman says the town also hopes to set up wi-fi hotspots in several locations around the tourist-friendly destination and is currently exploring how to best use the advancements to their benefit.

Long Lake Parks & Recreation Director Alex Roalsvig started a Broadband Committee to research some of the options for moving forward. Ò WeÕ re trying to engage the community to identify the advantages of this service,Ó she said. Ò This is a great opportunity for us and weÕ re looking forward to getting the conversation going Ñ especially when it comes to seasonal residents.Ó If the new service could get summer residents to increase their stays by even just one week, Roalsvig said, then it would be a potential boom to the local economy.

The second public meeting of the Broadband Committee is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 14, at the Long Lake Town Hall at 5:15 p.m. Ò We see this as a huge development tool, not only from education, but also telecommunicating,Ó said SlicÕ s Wagschal, a viewpoint echoed

by Schoon Lake’s Sage and other local officials. Ò Hopefully weÕ re going to see folks move into the community and stay. If people can’t earn a living, they just canÕ t stay: You canÕ t do CAD work on a satellite and weÕ re really excited to be a part of this.Ó

Snowmobiling

she said, a much-needed source of revenue in the downcast winter months.

Inserra said that while the town sees an annual massive influx of seasonal tourism from June until September, keeping businesses open year-round on the revenue generated during a six-month time frame is a continuous struggle.

For the Adirondack Hotel, said Inserra, that revenue has been aside to pay for the massive losses that they amass during the off-season. Ò For me to keep my staff working in the winter so that we have them during the summer, I have enormous losses — I need $120,000 in my saving account

by Sept. 30 to stay open,Ó she said.

And even this hinges on temperamental weather patterns.

If the town’s lake is frozen, explained Inserra, the town gets a considerable amount of snowmobilers each weekend, between 200-300. Ò But the lake needs to be safely frozen otherwise they can’t get there,” she said. “It’s because of this unpredictability that for the past 24 years, I’ve been an advocate of building new trails, both as a supporter of the snowmobile clubs, working with the town and supporting organizations, making progress.Ó Long Lake doesnÕ t have the traditional snowmobile loops that other states have, and Inserra thinks that If they did, if there was snow and ice, then snowmobilers would come. She even envisions another season, with Long Lake being a destination from Old Forge or even Canada.

This economic resurrection just might become possible, she said, with another set of interconnected trails that would link Hamilton and Essex, for example.

Continued from page 1 York Times featuring snowmobilers soaring over the Manhattan skyline and tailored outreach through social media Ñ follows CuomoÕ s announcement late last year that he intended on approving the Ò preferred alternative” land classification for the Essex Chain of Lakes, which was recently green lighted by the Adirondack Park Agency.

Seeds

Cuomo indicated that heÕ d sign off on preferred alternative 2A, a classification that would enable the creation of new snowmobile connector trails on land that has been inaccessible to the public for the past two centuries, something that would not be possible under a fully wilderness classification.

Still awaiting classification — a decision that has snowmobile clubs stuck in neutral Ñ is a nearly 22,000 - acre tract of land between Newcomb and North Hudson, the approval of which will open the possibilities for the completion of an important link to snowmobile networks to the west through Long Lake and Indian Lake and to the east through Lake Champlain communities, networks that a wide spectrum of the surrounding areaÕ s inhabitants believe to be vital for the winter economy of the region.

The creation of the new snowmobiling trails hinges on when the deal would be approved. The Cuomo administration did not respond to requests from the News Enterprise for a concrete date as of press time, but local officials and snowmobiling organizations seemed pleased with the pending classification and new marketing campaign.

Fresh flakes

Ò WeÕ ve not been asked to help with any proposed new trails, but we and the board would probably say

yes if we were asked,Ó said Seaman.

Schroon Lake Town Supervisor Mike Marnell shared similar sentiments: “It looks very promising and the governor has done great things,Ó he said. Ò But it will take a lot of effort from clubs and associations to prepare them Ñ itÕ s like building mini roads. But at least weÕ ve now got the land to work with, which is promising.Ó Marnell said that new trail networks would be a great asset to the entire area: a new NewcombSchoon-Minerva loop, he said, would add an additional 60 miles to the existing infrastructure and it would act as a big draw to attract tourism that will support local businesses Ñ including new motels and restaurants. Ò We have a lot more winter months than summer,Ó he said. Ò Prior to Governor Cuomo, we were lost in the back pasture, but now things are looking good.Ó Paul Stephens, President of the Mountain Lakers Snowmobile Club in Westport, explained how new trails paired with a marketing push could transform the local economy: Ò The trail that we help fund and maintain goes through Moriah and Schroon Lake,Ó he said. Ò WeÕ re a closed network of trails. Other than going south from Moriah, thereÕ s no going north or west out. So a connector trail would us access to the rest of the state.Ó The Mountain LakersÕ territory is centered around the towns of Westport, Essex, Willsboro and Lewis and connects with Moriah at Lincoln Pond.

“It’s a small network,” he said, explaining that Es-

sex County has very few trails, in part due to their position in the unforgiving High Peaks. It’s easier to lay out trails in other parts of the state, he said, and a proposed trail to Blue Ridge Road from Newcomb to North Hudson Ñ a chunk of land that the state has purchased but has yet to be classified — could be revolutionary: If the agencies agreed to open that tract up to “wild forest,Ó said Stephens, then it could be a huge economic impact for everyone from gas stations to business owners. “It’s never going to be anything like Old Forge because we donÕ t get the consistent snowfall that they do, an element that ensures a steady flow of travelers, but weÕ re hoping to expand and make good use out of them.Ó Taking into account the concerns of environmental groups who have fought to keep the tracts Ò wilderness,Ó Stephens struck a conciliatory tone: Ò Any new connector trails should be multi-use trails for everyone and anyone to share,Ó he said. From mountainbikers to hikers, he stressed that everyone should take a moderate approach and try to get along Ñ especially considering everyone could pitch in to maintain the trails and keep the environmental footprint at a minimum.

Snowfall

Ò We donÕ t have a sustainable year-long economy,Ó said Carol Inserra, owner of the Adirondack Hotel in Long Lake. Visiting snowmobilers making use of Hamiliton CountyÕ s 750 miles in trails make up the majority of their business in January and February,

Environmental groups welcomed the marketing push and opportunity for new trails but urged caution: “It should be ‘forever wild’ for everybody and weÕ re pleased that the state is promoting the region,Ó said Willie Janeway, Executive Director for the Adirondack Council.

Members of the Adirondack Council had previously expressed disappointment that the classification of the Essex Chain of Lakes would include a strip of Wild Forest that would allow snowmobiling. Ò We do understand that snowmobiling deserves to be part of this,Ó Janeway said in prepared statements about the current campaign, Ò but it is not embraced in every community and the wrong place with wrong management can be detrimental to the Adirondacks as a whole.Ó Janeway encouraged visitors to enjoy nonmotorized sports Ñ skiing, hiking, snowshoeing Ñ and stressed that proper oversight continues to be required in order to protect natural resources, including wetlands, lakes and remote interior areas, from a negative impact, which is the main reason why he believes the region remains such a draw for tourism.

Peter Bauer, head of the grassroots environmental organization Protect the Adirondacks! and vocal opponent of a Ò wild forestÓ classification, probed a reporter when reached for comment on his own thoughts on the campaign before commenting, “It’s great to see the governor promoting winter sports and and snowmobiling in Upstate New York — it’s terrific.”

“It’s great,” said Long Lake Supervisor Clark Seaman. Ò The state wanting to help promote the winter economy is fantastic and the creation of new trails is a win-win for everyone and is potentially huge.Ó Seaman said the town would benefit from a proposed new trail from Indian Lake through the Essex Chain tract that will connect to Newcomb and Minerva.

If a trail is on state land, the state has historically been primarily responsible for funding and building trails. Once in place, local municipalities will maintain and groom the trial alongside help from snowmobile associations.

According to a state report, there are 10,300 miles of snowmobile trails throughout New York Ñ more than Vermont, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, and more than Massachusetts and Michigan combined. Since 2011, the state says it has spent more than $11 million for trail maintenance and development for the stateÕ s 90,000 snowmobiling households.

A joint study conducted by Suny-Potsdam and the New York State Snowmobile Association found that the snowmobile industry generated $245 million in revenue for the Adirondack region from 2011-12.

That, combined with the $165 million from the Tug Hill Plateau, a component of the Adirondack Regional Tourism Council, meant $410 million total Ñ or a little less than half of the $868 million generated from snowmobile-related economic revenue in New York State in 2013 Ñ came from the North Country.

Environmental groups Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently took to the snow to promote the New York State snowmobiling industry.

News Enterprise Editorial

Legalizing marijuana: Lets look at the facts

A

week ago, the seemingly unthinkable happened: marijuana became legal in one of the United States: Colorado.

Today, the governor of New York is rumored to be standing on the precipice of joining 20 other states plus the District of Columbia in legalizing marijuana for medical purposes.

So far, so goodÉ no bodies are littering the street, no crimewaves are crashing on ColoradoÕ s shores, nothing.

In the wake of Colorado, and in the midst of New YorkÕ s potential change, a frank conversation about marijuana prohibition in this country is long overdue. A conversation where neither side is vilified, nobody assumes a moral higher ground, and facts take precedence to conjecture and scare tactics.

In politics, and marijuana prohibition is as political an issue as there ever was, there is an age-old adage: follow the money. The money trail surrounding marijuana and its innocuous cousin hemp is lengthy. During the Colonial Era, every colony grew hemp. According to one report, hemp was the largest agricultural crop worldwide in 1883. The first laws against hemp in this country were pushed by the all-powerful cotton lobby in southern states. Hemp, with its myriad of industrial uses, directly threatened cotton and could be grown almost everywhere.

Over the intervening years, marijuana, and hemp by association, were made illegal both on the state and federal level, mostly on moralistic grounds. Laws prohibiting marijuana reached their first apex in the early 1970s, with both NixonÕ s war on drugs and New YorkÕ s Rockefeller Drug Laws. The 1980s and 1990s saw both laws and sentences for convictions continually ratcheted up and up. These are the facts. One of the areas we should discuss, again openly and honestly, is has this prohibition worked?

In 1937, it was estimated that some 55,000 Americans used marijuana. One recent study determined that 25 million Americans have used marijuana in the past year. A similar proliferation of the number of alcohol drinkers was seen during alcohol prohibition. It’s estimated that during prohibition, there were more speakeasies in New York City than there are bars today. When alcohol prohibition was in effect, it also brought about a tremendous rise in organized crime and spin-off crimes like prostitution, illegal gambling, and narcotic trafficking.

People who associated with the speakeasies to drink were thus exposed to these other crimes.

Alcohol, because of prohibition, was the original gateway drug.

Today the United States incarcerates more people than any country in the world. Not the industrialized world, or the post-modern

world, but the world. We incarcerate about 716 people per 100,000 in population, and this number does not count people incarcerated in county jails. For perspective, Cuba incarcerates 510, Rwanda 492, and Russia 484 per 100,000.

The conversation should be had as to whether or not prohibition is working.

So with prohibition so deeply entrenched, who benefits from its continuation? More importantly, do these groups have any political clout?

The repeated wars on drugs waged by politician after politician have ushered in a golden age for police, and their unions, corrections, and their unions, and judges and prosecutors.

The prison-industrial complex in the United States, the largest in the world, would take a direct hit from an end of prohibition. Drugs, primarily marijuana, have fueled a 20-year boom in prison building and staffing. Likewise, from Nixon, through Reagan, Clinton and both Bushes, putting Ò cops on the streetÓ has been a rallying cry, and pumping officers and money into police agencies has been the result. Would any of these groups have the political clout to balk at the idea of ending prohibition?

This leaves the real Ò Big ThreeÓ players in keeping prohibition in effect: alcohol, tobacco and pharmaceuticals.

LetÕ s face it, Americans will self-medicate to some extent. At the end of the day, or sometimes unfortunately in the middle, people will ingest chemicals to help take the edge off. This has been going on since the beginning of time.

Today, it is legally done with a drink or several at the end of the day; a cigarette for those so inclined, or a prescription for a Ò MotherÕ s Little Helper.Ó These three groups represent possibly the three most powerful lobbying groups in the United States. The pharmaceutical industry, for instance, has in the neighborhood of 1,300 lobbyists in Washington, D.C. alone. If prohibition was to be lifted, and Americans would produce their own self-medication, would these industries potentially suffer? Do they have reason now to pump millions of dollars into keeping prohibition in effect? This is another discussion that should be had.

Colorado ending pot prohibition has finally put the discussion of marijuana on the table, and Americans are discussing the topic en masse from a new perspective for possibly the first time, from a position where facts outweigh moral spin. You simply canÕ t legislate morality.

We applaud Governor Cuomo for putting the topic on the frontburner in this state as well.

Now we should let facts, and not special interest groups and political spin, rule the day. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board

To the News Enterprise:

Once again we want to say what a priviledge it is to live in the town of Johnsburg.

We have had to call the EMS squad a few times for serious problems. They were here in a short amount of time. We are very lucky to have the volunteers who man our EMS squad and the Johnsburg Fire Company.

We had an oven fire on Dec. 15. Our fire chief was in Warrensburg, but made it here in a short amount of time.We had a large amount of smoke, but due to the fact that the fire company was here in a short amount of time saved our home. We would like to thank all you guys and girls for being here. The ambulance as also here. Thank you people.

I may be wrong, but I believe Mr. Gardner’s interpretation of the political cartoon published in the News Enterprise on 12/20/2013 (Ò Bigoted CartoonÓ , News Enterprise, Letters to the Editor, 1/4/2014) was in error. My view of that cartoon was that it underscored the gross hypocrisy of some large corporations that, while showing disregard for any morality whatsoever by wreaking havoc on their community (for example, by underpaying their workers and polluting the environment), they would take advantage of any opportunity they had to NOT provide health care insurance to their employees by pretending to be bound by some moral or religious belief.

If we, as a country, had elected to provide our citizens with universal health care as the healthier developed countries of the world have, we wouldn’t be struggling with all these difficult legal and religious nuances of Obamacare. (But we would likely be struggling with an angry medical insurance industry.) Nevertheless, Obamacare does not Ò curtail religious freedomÓ it only tries to make sure that organizations and individuals providing medical care to the general public do not discriminate in the care they provide based on their own religious beliefs. That would be tantamount to forcing oneÕ s religious beliefs on another person.

Lawsuits currently before the Federal Courts are attempting to untangle some of these areas of confusion and contention.

D

ecember 2013 was a colder than normal month with near normal levels of snow and precipitation. It was mostly a typical December in the North Country.

The average high temperature was 29.3 and the average low was 14.3 degrees, giving us an average temperature of 21.8 degrees, 2.3 degrees below normal and the 8th coldest in the last 32 years. The coldest December on record was in 1989. That year the average temperature was only 8.9 degrees, there were 19 days with below 0 temperatures and no days above the freezing mark of 32 degrees. The warmest December was in 2006 when the average temperature was 31.5 degrees with no 0 degree days.

This year the highest temperature, 40 degrees, was recorded on the 4th and the lowest, -15 degrees, was recorded on the 17th.

There were 3 days with below 0 readings which is average for December. There were 1287 degree days bringing our seasonal total to 3124.5.

Melted precipitation for the month was 2.85 inches, 0.44 inches below normal. This brings our yearly total to 36.32 inches, 6.37 inches below the normal of 42.69 inches. The last year that we had less than 40 inches was in 2001, when only 32.92 inches was measured, the 3rd driest year on record. Precipitation fell on only 10 days, with the greatest amount, 0.92 inches, falling on the 15th.

Snowfall was 15.1 inches, 1.5 inches below normal. This brings our seasonal total to 19.9 inches. Measurable snow fell on 7 days, with the largest amount, 9 inches, recorded on the 15th.

The river reached its highest level, 6.31 feet , on the 24th and its lowest level, 3.43 feet, on the 20th.

Racing for everyone, with everyone in the race

B

y all appearances, the winter season is here to stay. Despite the usual thaws, and a few occasional bouts of rain, the winter of ‘13-’14 has been relatively normal and just plain, old cold.

The snow has come and gone, and enough of the white stuff stuck around long enough for most skiers and snowshoers to have a good go at it.

The hard water anglers have been on the ice covered lakes and ponds for nearly two weeks already, and they largely seem happily content.

Reports continue to trickle in with tall tales of big fishtails, including some photos of the monster pike taken from Great Sacandaga Lake, some nice salmon from Lake Clear and an unexpectedly large, lake trout that was taken from a lake that shall remain nameless.

Unfortunately, there is only limited snow cover in the woods after last weekÕ s rains and in many areas the recent ice storm left trails crisscrossed with downed saplings and scattered branches Until the next snowfall, some of the best opportunities will be found ski skating, or just simply skating across the local snow covered lakes and ponds.

With the potential for a few inches of fresh snow on the way, there may also be some skiable trails available on a few local Fire Truck Trails especially in and around the St. Regis/Paul Smiths area. However, crampons should still be considered standard equipment for all travelers.

The Chilly Saranac Sixers On Dec. 21, the ever frosty village of Saranac Lake launched the latest round of the Saranac Sixers Campaign while hosting the inaugural edition of the Winter Sixers and the Ultra Winter Sixers.

The Ultra Winter Sixers in attendance were composed of a certain set of individuals who obviously enjoy traveling up, over, down and through some of the most tortuous terrain the local mountains have to offer, in all sorts of weather.

The Sixer Campaign is the brainchild of Saranac Lake Mayor Clyde Rabideau, who fostered the idea in an effort to bring visitors to town and spur on a bit of additional tourism. The effort has been very well received, with merchants offering special deals for participants featuring licensed Sixer products which include local wine, beer and clothing.

The weather pattern that greeted the climbers who had gathered to attempt the inaugural kickoff of the Saranac Sixer Campaign last spring, was nearly identical to the weather conditions that greeted the Winter Sixers last week, although the heavy rains during the spring event were much tougher to deal with due to the heavy runoff.

A crew of hardy, runners, climbers and similarly minded mountain masochists departed Berkley Square in downtown Saranac Lake in the darkness of the early morning hours as they spread out to tackle six local peaks, ranging in elevation from a mere 2,452 feet on Mt. Baker, which requires a 1.8 mile round trip to the remaining peaks including McKenzie Mountain at 3,861 feet, with a 10-mile round trip hike, and Ampersand Mountain at 3,261 followed by Scarface Mountain at 3,088 feet elevation, Haystack at 2,874 feet and St. Regis Mountain in Paul Smiths, which stands at 2,865 feet.

The morning of the event dawned with cold temperatures, winds and a combination of snow and freezing drizzle as Saranac Lake Mayor Clyde Rabideau launched the inaugural group off to the local trails in the dimming darkness of a bracing Adirondack morning.

The first group of Winter Sixers to finish included Caleb Strong of Victor, NY; who finished in a time of 9:55 and set a new Ultra Sixers speed record for the climb by knocking over an hour of

the original record.

Strong was followed by Loring Porter of Lake Placid, NY; who finished in a time of 10:59. Porter became the original Ultra Saranac Sixer when he topped the field at the inaugural event in May by finishing in a time of 10 hours, 22 minutes.

Rounding out the field of top finishers were 3. Kyle Forbes Bissell, West Salem, MA; 10:59, 4. Kyle Dash, Paul SmithÕ s, NY; 11:06, 5. David Gomlak, Lake Placid, NY; 12:45, 6. Alistair Fraser, Florida, NY; 14:26 and 7. Neil Luckhurst, Laval, QC, Canada.

Many of the hardy crew who attempted to become Winter Sixer left town in the cold darkness of the morning to tackle the peaks and they returned in the darkness of a cold, and blustery evening.

Climbing for a Purpose While peak bagging may not be for everyone, the Sixer Campaign has proven to be an exciting and sociable event that continues to bring visitors to the local communities.

Although some critics may complain about the competitive aspects of peak bagging and the potential for damage caused by the overuse of a fragile resource; I believe the positive benefits of the Sixer Campaign concept will far outweigh the negatives.

Participants can attempt a variety of achievements with a Sixer finishing up all six peaks, and Ultra 6’ers completing all six peaks in a 24-hour time span. Winter 6Õ ers are those who complete all six peaks during the winter season, and Family 6Õ ers will do it all as a family.

The effort has also spawned a notable contingent of local youth who have taken up the challenge. When local youth get involved and learn to utilize the local environment for a positive purpose, they learn to appreciate their surroundings.

When this happens, the local landscape takes on a new purpose and it is considered to be of value. When the land is perceived as having value, it is more likely to be utilized, appreciated and protected.

Stewardship of the land is the next natural step in this progression, and this type of non-consumptive recreation is easily expanded especially in an area that is literally brimming with natural potential for fishing contest, natural inventory events, bird counts, bike/hike/swim triathlons, and more.

The Adirondack Canoe Classic offers a prime example of how a regional outdoor sporting event can benefit a variety of small communities by drawing them all together for a shared positive purpose.

Every community along the route has the potential to show off their hospitality to a group of traveling athletes, and their families.

The idea of making a competition out of climbing can be easily adapted to paddling events participating on the local rivers or lakes, or mountain biking event that are contested along the back roads, or skiing or snowshoe events utilizing the connecting trails between communities such as the Jackrabbit Ski Trail from Keene to Paul Smiths or a similar potential course for skiers along the old railroad route from Lake Placid all the way to Old Forge.

We need to have our youth involved, as they have the potential to be the next generation of stewards. If they learn how to play in their own backyard, the lands will be of value and they will make efforts to protect them In the process, everyone will be healthier and happier as a result.

Adirondackers are not simply a group of independent communities scattered about in the mountains, we are a group of communities that are defined by these mountains and by the lands we chose to settle.

And though our communities are unique, we all share a special bond with the land, the weather, the natural resources and especially with each other. We live here by choice, nobody forced it upon us. It is this fact that proves we all knew how to make at least one good decision.

What about the Birds?

M

y last column dealt with feeding deer and it sparked some interest, in at least one reader.

Earlier this week, I stopped at a local store for my morning fix of strong black coffee when I was asked by a reader about birds. Can I feed birds?

With the freezing rain we have had lately, the birds

By Rich Redman will definitely need our help. Ice has coated all the plants and getting the seeds off plants and scratching at the ground for seed is nearly impossible. At our place the frozen snow and ice coating on the ground is around 2 inches thick and I can walk on top of it in many places. I have noticed numerous birds around our feeder outside my morning coffee window, gleaning whatever they can find.

Having natural food sources is great and preferred. Leaving headed out grasses and grains along with corn, will supply many a wild bird with food. Small property owners can plant sunflowers along fences, mixed in with grains and other wild foods for birds. Plant a wild food garden! The foods may not last all winter, so supplementing them may be needed.

Make sure you de-ice your bird feeder and have an ample supply of food available. Frozen birds are great in the freezer, but not at the frozen feeder.

Seeds of all sorts, like sunflowers, corn, wild bird seed and scratch feed will work. Wild birds will get grit from the side of the road, but having some near a feeder is always a good idea. The grit helps the bird breakup the food and digests it. I checked out Wikipedia on this so you get the facts, here you go, quoted directly from the source!

Gizzard stones 101!

Some animals that lack teeth will swallow stones or grit to aid in digestion. All birds have gizzards, but not all will swallow stones or grit. The birds that do, employ the following method of mastication:[2] “A bird swallows small bits of gravel that act as ‘teeth’ in the gizzard, breaking down hard food such as seeds and thus helping digestion.” (Solomon et al., 2002).

These stones are called gizzard stones or gastroliths and are usually round and smooth from the polishing action in the animalÕ s stomach. When too smooth to do their required work, they may be passed or regurgitatedÓ .

There you have it, the real deal on gizzard stones!

Turkeys will be having a tough time this year so you may even see them popping up around the bird feeder a lot earlier than usual. You may need extra food on hand to handle the extra demand.

New York allows manure to be spread in the winter so turkeys will be able to pick through spread manure. When the tractor fires up, it is the dinner bell for turkeys, especially this year. Vermont has stopped all winter spreading of manure and from what I hear; it may have an effect on their turkey population.

Farmers will be seeing turkeys in feed bunks eating the corn in the silage. They will become a nuance. The farmers wonÕ t be happy about that, but the turkeys are survivors and go where the picking is nutritious and easy.

If you enjoy having birds around, plan ahead and grow the natural feeds like grains and sunflowers for winter that will carry them through. In years like this however, we need to go to the backup plan of supplemental feed to help keep them alive. You can purchase both grit and wild bird feed, along with cracked and whole corn at local feed stores.

Check with a local farmer, they may have corn or other seed they can sell you. Support your local farmer. Farmers are feeding a lot more than just us!

We have always had a bird feeder to help the birds, but so far this year it will be a survival feeder.
