North Country National Guardsmen help give bobsledders a brake Morrisonville soldiers mark fourth time helping Geoff Bodine Bobsled Challenge

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — When the men and women of the New York Army National Guard are in the field, they’ll stop at nothing until their mission is complete. However, when they’re on the bobsled track, their mission isn’t complete unless they’ve stopped everything.

For the fourth year in a row, members of the New York Army National Guard served as brakemen and crew members for the 5th Annual Geoff Bodine Bobsled Challenge at the Mt. Van Hoevenberg Olympic Center. The challenge, which took place Jan. 9 and 10, annually assigns National Guardsmen to help stop high-speed sleds coming down the three-quarter-mile track operated by NASCAR and National Hot Rod Association drag race drivers.

The National Guard has participated in the bobsled challenge since 2007, when NASCAR driver and event co-founder Geoffrey Bodine invited Guardsmen to participate in the nationally-televised event.

“As a son of a WWII veteran and a former Army National Guardsmen, I thought we needed some brave people to ride with these drivers and there’s no braver folks than our men and women in the U.S. military,” Bodine said in a prepared statement.

Ssgt. James Bills, stationed with Company B, 2nd Battalion, 108th Infantry, in Morrisonville, has participated in the challenge since the National Guard was first invited. Bills said it’s something that not only feels “surreal,” but is something the Guardsmen “look forward to” each year.

“It’s a rush,” he said. “It's something that not everyone gets to encounter and something really fun to tell people

Twenty members of the New York Army National Guard served as brakemen for NASCAR and drag race drivers from the National Hot Rod Association last weekend at the Mt. Van Hoevenberg Olympic Center in Lake Placid during the 5th Annual Geoff Bodine Bobsled Challenge. Some of the soldiers from Company B, 2nd Battalion, 108th Infantry, headquartered in Morrisonville, included, from left, Spc. John Pagan, Sgt. Michael Benjamin, Pfc. David Mitchell, Pvt. Steven Spence, Pvt. Joshua Euber and Spc. Andrew Konstantinidis.

about when they ask you what you did this weekend with the National Guard.”

The National Guard has expanded its role in the challenge, now serving as a sponsor of the event. It’s a connection that Bills said “simply makes sense.”

“There are multiple members of the U.S. bobsled team that are actually members of the National Guard, so it's a good partnership,” said Bills.

Pvt. Steven Spence, agreed, saying he enjoyed the experience, especially given his background.

“I was actually a braker for a race car driver,” said Spence, who was participating in the challenge for his second year.

“This time I wasn't a braker for an actual driver, but I was helping with the practicing. It was fun.”

Spc. Andrew Konstantinidis, a first-timer at the challenge, did ride in the sled as a brakeman and said he also enjoyed being part of the event. The rush of racing down the track was something Konstantinidis said he’d definitely like to feel again.

“It was awesome. It was a new experience, and it was a little scary at first because I've never done it before, but it was fun being that low to the ice,” he said.

“It was a great event — friendly people, great staff,” added Pvt. Joshua Euber, another first-time participant. “Everybody who participated was really upbeat even though it was really cold. I think it went smoothly.”

Since its inception, the mission of the Geoff Bodine Bobsled Challenge has been to create awareness and greater funding for the Bo-Dyn Bobsled Project Inc., which creates American-made bobsleds for the U.S. men's and women's national bobsled teams. The Bo-Dyn Bobsled Project is an endeavor of Bodine and auto racing designer Bob Cuneo of Chassis Dynamics in Oxford, Conn.

to United Way closing in on fundraising goal Knights host youth Organization still needs $30,000, says executive director free throw

By Jeremiah S. Papineau contest jeremiah@denpubs.com

PLATTSBURGH — The United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties Inc. has almost reached its fundraising goal, but there is still work to be done.

John C. Bernardi, executive director of the local United Way, said the nonprofit organization has raised approximately 75 percent of its $700,000 goal. Bernardi gave members of the media an update during a press conference Jan. 14.

“We’re doing pretty well,” said Bernardi. “We think it’s going to be very close, however, and we really would like to rally the community to help us close the gap and finish the campaign.”

Bernardi estimated the campaign needs approximately $30,000 that is “not yet projected or expected” prior to the campaign ending the first week of February. That amount is “comparable” to the amount needed at this point in the annual campaign when compared to recent years, he said.

“We had the same issue last year,” said Bernardi, who attributed much of the dif-

Glushko joins other fresh faces in making up newest town council

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PERU — It’s a new year with some new faces at the helm of the Peru Town Council.

After a turbulent year involving allegations and a conviction of misconduct by former Town Supervisor Donald E. Covel Jr. which ultimately lead to his leaving office, the council is making an effort to put the past behind them, according to new Town Supervisor Peter G. Glushko.

Already, Glushko, who served as a councilman under the previous administration, said he has seen an improvement in the atmosphere among the council, which includes newest councilors Susan E. Polhemus, Kregg M. Bruno and James T. Douglass and veteran member Brandy L. McDonald.

“The tension isn’t there. When things are tense and people aren’t willing to work with each other, it’s hard to get things done,” said Glushko. “This board is very much like the boards of the past.”

The supervisor said he considers the issue involving his immediate predecessor “closed” and that he and the council are “looking forward.”

“We’ve got fresh faces and with fresh faces come fresh ideas,” said Glushko. “Peru’s always been a very progressive town and I think you’ll see us back moving at a much faster clip now as we progress and try to grow the town responsibly and meet the needs of the taxpayers that live in the town.”

Glushko said while there are no major issues immediately facing the town, several items will be on the table for examination in the months ahead. The development of a town

walking trail, sidewalk construction to the Peru Central School District on School Street, and continued preservation of the HeyworthMason Building are among the items of chief concern for the new year, the supervisor said, with the council also in the process of “looking at and pursuing as many grants as possible” for projects that will benefit the town.

Glushko also said the council will continue working to finalize the town’s comprehensive plan, which has been several years in the making.

“That’s going to be very telling in its changes, I think, when people see that, with rezoning issues and new zoning issues and a complete look at how the town is set up and how it could be better set up in the future,” Glushko said, adding the public will have its say before the plan is implemented.

The idea is to have town in the best position for economic growth and adding to the tax base, said Glushko.

“The tax base has to grow in order to keep taxes as low as possible,” said Glushko.

Glushko has resided in the town since 1983, when he was assigned to the former Plattsburgh Air Force Base. He retired from the U.S. Air Force in 2005 at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and has served as a substitute teacher for the Peru and Beekmantown Central School Districts.

Though Glushko now assumes the role of supervisor, he said the council as a whole is what will help direct the future of the town.

“Each [council member] is going to have a different perspective on things,” said Glushko.

“I’m just one board member ... when it comes to decision-making, it’s an entire board process.”

Understanding virtual machines: Part two

,

L

Adirondack Humane Society

ast week, we introduced virtual machines, this week we look at two examples.

Recall some types of VMs run as an application on a host operating system while there are others that do not need a host OS. The VM we look at that needs a host OS is Windows Virtual PC. The other VM, that doesn’t need an OS, is VMware’s ESXi. Windows Virtual PC, formerly Microsoft Virtual PC, comes with some versions of Windows 7. It supports the running of other, usually older, Windows OS like XP but it works as well with other operating systems like Linux.

The only drawback is users will not find support from Microsoft for non-Windows operating systems. The main use of Microsoft Virtual PC is providing an easy method for Windows 7 users to run older Windows applications, which was a big problem with Vista.

VMware’s ESXi is a free program that supports the running of multiple operating systems simultaneously, each self-contained in a virtual space apart from each other. The main use of ESXi, apart from learning virtual machine operation, is running multiple operating systems, typically servers, on a sin-

gle physical computer.

A number of advantages come from virtual machines. The amount of energy and physical space used by one VM is far less than multiple physical computers and data backup is simplified. One substantial computer VMing multiple servers is individually expensive but overall cheaper than multiple physical servers. Some Internet users fearful of malware are using VMs to access the Web. Any malware contracted is contained within the VM, never the host. They simply delete and recreate the VM if infection is suspected.

The disadvantages of VMs include lower

By Ron Poland efficiency because of indirect hardware access and if the VM computer faults it immediately affects all the running virtual machines.

Looking at supermarkets vs. supercenters

I

n my Super-Couponing classes, I’m often asked whether it’s easier just to shop at a supercenter, large grocery-discount store combinations that offer “every-day low prices,” or shop at a traditional, “more expensive” supermarket using coupons to achieve greater savings. If you’ve used coupons for any length of time, you know it’s possible to achieve much better savings at the supermarket by following the sales and matching them with coupons.

The reason? Believe it or not, the “every-day low price” strategy is the culprit. Supercenters maintain low prices, avoiding the traditional cycle of sales and price cuts common at supermarket chains. At a supercenter, a $2.50 box of cereal will sell for $2.50 this week, next week and three weeks from now.

Meanwhile, over at the supermarket, the price of the same brand of cereal is fluctuating from high to low. It may be $2.99 one week, $2.49 the next and $1.99 the next.

Many shoppers find comfort and a sense of confidence in knowing what prices will be, week after week, at a supercenter. But the truth is price fluctuations make supermarkets the best places to shop for someone who’s trying to save even more money.

As we’ve learned, making the most of the supermarket’s price cycle can be advantageous to shoppers. When the price of a certain cereal brand takes a dip to $1.99, it’s less expensive than the supercenter ’s price. That’s when we move in and use our coupons to bring the price down even more. Sure, we could use the same coupon at the every-day low-price store.

But when the sale price of the item at the supermarket drops below the every-day low price of the supercenter, we save even more buying the item at the supermarket.

Recently, a new supercenter opened in my town. During its grand opening the store was abuzz with people lining up, excitedly waiting to take advantage of the low prices. I was curious to compare the new supercenter ’s prices with those at other supermarkets in our area. I had just been to the super-

market the previous day and I had my receipt showing the sale prices (before my coupon savings) on 21 different items.

As I strolled the aisles of the new store, I was shocked to see the difference in prices on the same items I’d just purchased at the supermarket.

What shocked me was how high they were.

Of the 21 items on my receipt, 14 of the products’ “every-day” prices were significantly higher at the supercenter than the sale prices I’d paid one day earlier at the supermarket — in some cases, several dollars’ more on a single item. Six of the products I

By Jill Cataldo purchased were more expensive at the supermarket, but we’re talking pennies more, not dollars — in many cases, the difference between $1.97 and $1.99. And while it’s true the regular prices of the supermarket sale items are often higher, smart shoppers aren’t paying those regular prices. We watch for sales and price drops, then move in and buy what we need when the price hits that low.

Again, while I certainly could have used my coupons at the supercenter to buy the same products, I brought the supermarket’s lower prices down even more by using my coupons there.

Low prices aren’t the only aspect of saving big, however.

Supermarkets often offer additional promotions that can cut your grocery bill significantly. Next week, I’ll share the rest of this story and you’ll see how I took those groceries home from the supermarket for 69 percent less than I would have paid using the same coupons on the same items at the supercenter!

also be used with shrubs or to light up accent plantings. As an added benefit, spotlights can also help light up the house to boost security around your home.

Another way to use lights outdoors is with accent lights. Simply attach a string of outdoor lights under arbors, pergolas, or porches. During the summer, these lights beckon you outside to enjoy an evening meal with friends and family. During the dark winter months, these lights brighten up the garden and allow you to reminisce about the summer months spent in the garden.

Garden lighting can fit almost any budget.

Solar lights help reduce long-term energy costs as do low energy LED lights. And, sometimes one simple light can make a huge difference. Several years ago, my in-laws placed one spotlight by a Scotch pine to create a stunning look. Sadly the tree had to be removed due to disease, but because of the simple, yet elegant lighting effect, I can still visualize the tree’s grace and beauty.

cease to exist.

I would like to remind Mr. Hackett that wildlife conservation is not the only part of the cost of having parks like the Adirondacks.

Hunters and anglers are most definitely not the only ones who pay for State Forest Land. Almost every resident of the State of New York pays taxes which go toward purchasing more land and the upkeep of the park.

On top of that, there are the residents of the Adirondacks who pay plenty of money for the privilege of living there.

Mr. Hackett states that “Nonhunters and nonanglers — the overwhelming majority of the population must contribute on a regular basis.”

Well Mr. Hackett, they are contributing, and the amount comes to way more than what the hunters and anglers contribute.

Also in his article he calls paddlers, skiers, hikers, birders, climbers, etc. “nonconsumptive outdoor travelers.” Well, he hit the nail on the head. In his own words, they are “non-consumptive.”

They don’t kill animals, or take fish from the lakes. Since only anglers and hunters do that, then they should be the ones who pay to have the wildlife restored, and provide the proper habitat for them.

Mr. Hackett mentions several times about the economic impact of a fee based program. There are those people who are just traveling through, who do not pay taxes or fees, but how would he propose to differentiate them from New York state residents who pay their share through taxation? What would the impact be if visitors were to be required to pay a fee. They probably would 1) not come, which would impact the economy even more, 2) drive right through and not stop to take advantage of accommodations, restaurants and attractions in villages or 3) they would just use the land without paying a fee to drive on.

Enforcement of the fee system would probably cost more than it would gain and lose more in economic income than it would net. It is thinking like Mr. Hackett’s that will eventually make the Adirondack Park a playground for the rich and drive out the people who have lived and worked there and supported the State of New York’s most valuable asset.

I am not someone who is far removed from the subject. I have hunted and fished, all of my family hunts and fishes and my grandchildren are learning about hunting and fishing. We lived inside the “Blue Line” for 20 years, but I would certainly not expect to pay to walk or ski through the woods, or paddle a canoe on the waters of the park, but I do expect someone that depletes the land of animals and fish to replenish what they have taken away.

Mr. Hackett, stop griping you certainly get your money’s worth.

During 2009 the committee worked on numerous initiatives to achieve our goal, which could not have been done without the help of the following businesses, organizations and individuals: the city of Plattsburgh, mayor Donald Kasprzak, the city’s common council, especially Mike Kelly, the city’s Engineering and Planning Dept., Municipal Lighting Dept., Public Works, Clinton County Landfill, Casella Waste Systems Inc., Checkerhills Farm, League of Women Voters, students from Plattsburgh High School, the State University of New York at Plattsburgh, especially the Environmental Action Committee and Plattsburgh State Service Corps, Benjamin Pomerance, Lake Champlain Research Institute, Forrence Orchards in Peru, North Country Consulting, North Country Food Co-op, Adirondack Soup Company, Plattsburgh Public Library, Clinton County RSVP, Clinton County Historical Association, Natalie Ward Band, Benjamin Bright, Pat Ostrander, Peggy McCartney and her students at Bailey Avenue School, Steve Peters and the city’s Recreation Dept., and the North Country Chamber of Commerce.

During 2010, we hope to achieve even more and look forward to working with more of the community.

Thank you on behalf of the entire Plattsburgh Green Committee.

Stop griping, Hackett Mr. Hackett talks about a “pay to play” recreational fee for those who regularly enjoy the outdoors in the state of New York, particularly the Adirondack Park. The basic premise of his article (and I quote) is that “100% of the money paid by hunters and anglers for license fees go directly back to conservation” and when they buy equipment part of that money also goes to conservation. He feels that it is high time for everyone to pay their share.

First of all, let me say that the money he speaks about is “supposed” to go back to conservation, but from what I have been told the State of New York uses it for other things and very little comes back for that purpose. He also states that hunters and anglers contribute $1.9 billion to conservation and that without their help wildlife conservation would

ow that the holiday season is done, our yards, doorways, and gardens are once again dark early in the winter evenings. By adding some simple non-holiday lighting to your garden you can enhance the look of your home and create a stunning night design for any season.

Three simple ways to do so are with solar lights, spotlights, and accent lights.

Lightening outdoor gardens with solar lights creates a soft light at dusk and into the evening. These lights can be simple path markers or more elaborate and decorative designs. For garden walkways, simply line the walkway every one to two feet with a solar light or randomly scatter the lights along the path. Alternatively, you can place solar lights in the font of a garden bed near low-growing plants so they shine through the flowers or plants. These lights also look nice under shade trees, around any ground covers or accent plants growing under the tree.

Spotlights look lovely lighting up large trees with character such as birch or oak. You can choose between a solar spotlight or one that requires an electrical outlet. To use a spotlight, simply insert the light into the ground so light shines up onto the trunk of the tree and through the canopy. Depending on the size of the tree, you may wish to use two spotlights — one on either side of the trunk. Spotlights can

Saranac receiving $62,000 for improvements to recreation park

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com SARANAC — The town of Saranac could soon be getting a makeover for one of its waterfront properties.

The town council has received word it has been awarded a $62,000 grant from the Department of State Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. The grant, said Councilman Gerald W. Delaney, will allow for the town to begin implementation of its waterfront revitalization strategy, which was funded by a 2007 Environmental Protection Fund grant. The plan — developed by a project advisory committee consisting of town residents, landowners and other individuals and organizations — calls for improving access to the Saranac River and other enhancements to Picketts Corners Recreation Park.

"I was really happy that it came through,” said Delaney, who made the motion for the council to apply for the grant last September.“[The plan] will give the public better access to the river in the form of a day-use area.”

The advisory committee’s improvements to the 16-acre park include clearing a shaded picnic area and grading the area along the river, which is currently “difficult to walk due to an uneven surface and field grass vegetation.” The committee’s plan also calls for a walkway to be constructed from the site’s parking lot to the flat area along the

Picketts Corners Recreation Park, situated on the banks of the Saranac River, will receive improvements thanks to a $62,000 grant from the Department of State Local Waterfront Revitalization Program.

The park is home to events like kayaking clinics hosted by the Town of Plattsburgh Recreation Department, as seen here, and the annual Saranac Flatwater Challenge.

river, which is most prominently used in the summer for the Saranac Flatwater Challenge, an annual canoeing and kayaking event which benefits the North Country's Race to Fight Asthma.

The installation of a floating wooden dock, which could be removed for seasonal flooding, is also envisioned, the plan states.

“We're looking at whatever improvements we can that will benefit the challenge," said

Delaney, who added constructing a pavilion could also be among enhancements to the park.

Other improvements proposed include installing flood-resistant stone seating and picnic tables, developing a fishing access area, modernizing the appearance of the recreation park buildings, and performing upgrades to the town pool area.

“We want this to be a place for our townspeople to be able to go down, sit beside the river, have a picnic or just sit there and utilize a gem of a piece of property that's been underutilized for years,” said Delaney.

The town council will now examine its next steps, said Delaney, which include meeting with the Adirondack Park Agency and the state Department of Environmental Conservation because of the property being located within the Adirondack Park and its proximity to the Saranac River.

“We're going to make sure we have plans the APA and DEC are comfortable with,” said Delaney, who added the agencies were already aware the town applied for the grant.

Once the town has gone through all the proper channels, Delaney said the project should take a minimal amount of time to complete and could begin as early as this summer.

“What we're doing isn’t huge, but it’s still a fairly good size mechanical undertaking,” said Delaney. “But, it's not out of the question that it'd only take us a month to six weeks to get it done.”

“The exercise actually seems to help Martha’s asthma and it reduces her stress and tension,” Duprey explained. “She knows her limits and knows when not to push herself too much.”

Breyette has also noticed some changes in just a short time.

“I haven’t noticed a lot of physical changes as of yet, in my body,” she said. “What I’m definitely noticing is mentally. I’m noticing that I’m sleeping a little bit better.”

She’s also making a change in her eating habits, reducing the amount of soda, pasta and bread she takes in, and eating five small meals a day, instead of three large ones. “[I’m] trying really hard to eat more vegetables, more fiber,” Breyette explained. “I definitely needed to take in more protein and more fiber and a lot less carbohydrates.”

Breyette also advises those who may be considering getting more fit, to find a buddy to work with.

“Pick a buddy and just start to walk, exercise, do something,” she said. “Even if you move a little bit each day, it gets easier and easier.”

“Set small goals and just know that you’re doing something for yourself and it’s going to make you happier and healthier in the long run,” she added.

Think you can’t do it, too? Here are some tips to help exercise with asthma

F

irst, have a thorough medical evaluation and obtain your doctor ’s permission before beginning an exercise program. Your doctor will probably prescribe you a medicine to help keep your airways open during exercise. For example, you may be instructed to take albuterol, a short-acting inhaled bronchodilator, 15 minutes before exercise to prevent symptoms for up to about four hours.

Once you receive clearance from your doctor, consider the following exercise guidelines: · Always have medication nearby for use in the event of an asthma attack. Be aware of early signs of an asthma attack, such as shortness of breath and coughing.

· Take extra time (aim for 15 minutes) to warm up before exercising. This helps the airway retain a more normal size. · Prolong your cool-down. The second most likely time to experience an exercise-induced asthma attack is in the five to 10 minutes after exercise. By gradually decreasing intensity, you reduce your risk. · Be aware of your exercise environment. Avoid exposure to other asthma triggers such as pollen and pollution when exercising. A warm and humid environment (like that in a pool) reduces exposure of the lungs to cool, dry air — the suspected cause of exercise-induced asthma. · Consider exercising at the lower end of your target heart-rate range and incorporating intervals for high-intensity training to minimize your risk of an asthma attack.

Choose exercises least likely to trigger an attack, such as pool swimming and walking. · Maintain adequate hydration. This will decrease mucous accumulation in the airways, thus reducing risk for an asthma attack or a future infection like bronchitis or pneumonia. · Maximize air exchange with diaphragmatic breathing.

Inhale deeply through your nose and exhale through your mouth. With each inhalation you should see or feel your belly rise. · Rest when necessary and listen to what your body is telling you.

SBDC lauded by its supporters, assisted small businesses jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Small businesses throughout the North Country have been receiving a helping hand from the North Country Small Business Development Center for a quarter of a century.

The North Country SBDC recognized its 25th anniversary during an open house Jan. 8, in which the organization’s representatives, local dignitaries and small business owners turned out to congratulate the center ’s staff on reaching the milestone.

Nancy Murphy, owner of the Hungry Trout Fly Shop in Wilmington, was among those in attendance, crediting the North Country SBDC for their help when she first examined purchasing her business last December.

“I wanted to do something that I loved and I’ve been working in the business for about 14 years and had managed the shop for four years before that,” said Murphy, who was one of more than 50

clients served last year. “It was a business I knew well and I love the Adirondacks.”

The 62-year-old Murphy said she was interested in purchasing the business as “a retirement job” but wasn’t sure she’d be able to make her dream a reality when seeking small business assistance from NBT Bank.

However, through the help of small business banker Chris Hey, Murphy said she was put in touch with the Adirondack Economic Development Corporation, who further put her in touch with Karen Stehlin, a small business advisor with the North Country SBDC. “Karen was a great help when I began the process of a business plan,” said Murphy. “She was very great with that and continues to help to this day. If I have a question, I pick up the phone and call [the SBDC].

They’re a great resource.”

Carol Calabrese, co-executive director and chief executive officer of the Essex County Industrial Development Agency, agreed.

“The Small Business Development Center is a huge friend to economic development,” Calabrese said during the open house. “Everyone in this room probably has [their] own personal stories, but from the Essex County standpoint, the service they provide businesses is invaluable.”

Garry F. Douglas, president of the PlattsburghNorth Country Chamber of Commerce, said having a “friendly partnership” with organizations like the North Country SBDC and its director, Rick Leibowitz, is what keeps the region alive and prosperous.

“That’s important because, here in the North Country, in order to be able to punch above our weight, organizations need to collaborate. We can’t all sit in our offices and work separately,” said Douglas. “Under Rick’s leadership, SBDC has reached a new level.”

Leibowitz said while he credits his team — which also consists of business advisor Andrew S. Allison as

well as office manager and intake advisor Linda M. Willett — the true success of the organization rests with the ones they help.

“Milton Berle once said, ‘If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.’ Well, I think everybody in this room knows it’s the small business owners that are building those doors,” said Leibowitz. “Our staff helps the small business owners build the doors. But, the opportunity for this economy to grow is going to happen through the small business owners in this room.”

However, if you ask small business owners like Murphy, they may tell you otherwise.

“I’m not sure I would’ve done it at all without them,” she said.

Bookmobile From page 1 service and automotive businesses throughout the North Country, to help with the approximately $120,000 annual cost of keeping the bookmobile in operation, said Jankowska.

“We’ve been talking about doing this for a while,” she said. “And, at the end of last year, we started sending information to invite people to join in the program.”

The program requests sponsorships at Diamond, Platinum, Gold, and Silver levels, with sponsors committing to donating 100, 75, 50 or 25 gallons of diesel fuel or gasoline, respectively, each month for one year. Sponsors may also contribute automotive repair or maintenance services at an equivalent value of each sponsorship level or make a financial contribution.

So far, the program is off to a slow start, said Jankowska, who attributes that partly to timing.

“Maybe it was a little too late for people to donate in time for the fiscal year,” she said.

Drawing donations from outside the Plattsburgh area could also be difficult for those who don’t understand how far the CEFLS Bookmobile reaches, she added.

Though the CEFLS is based in Plattsburgh, Jankowska said it’s important people understand the bookmobile does service the tri-county region.

“We go as far as Newcomb and Fort Covington in Franklin County and all

across Essex County, too,” said Jankowska. “We are one of 23 library systems in the state, but we actually cover an area that’s the size of the State of Connecticut.”

Since the bookmobile travels thousands of miles each year, Jankowska said it’s only a matter of time before the amount of money in the CEFLS budget isn’t enough to meet the cost of providing the service.

“We never know how long we can function. Our funding is cut constantly by New York State,” said the director, adding the CEFLS is still awaiting funding for last year ’s budget. “It’s very scary.”

Jankowska said she’s putting out a plea to the community, particularly businesses, to help keep the bookmobile on the road, fueling literacy.

“It’s important we’re here to reach people who can’t get to a library,” she said.

“This [fundraiser] is a wonderful opportunity for someone to participate in something very important for the community.

If they’re interested in donating toward something very good and very worthwhile, this would be the thing.”

Sponsor recognition packages are available at each level, added Jankowska, and donations are tax-deductible because of the organization’s 501(c)(3) nonprofit status.

For more information, contact the CEFLS office at 563-5190 or visit their Web site at www.cefls.org.

The Clinton-Essex-Franklin Library System Bookmobile, seen here, is a service that could one day be without enough funding to operate, said CEFLS director Ewa Jankowska. “Fueling Literacy,” a new fundraising program, hopes to help the nonprofit organization with rising fuel prices.

ADKYP networking event Jan. 22 Sunrise Rotary offering winter fun at May Currier Park Jan. 30 PLATTSBURGH — The Adirondack Young Professionals — a nonprofit organization which focuses on creating networking opportunities for young professionals in the North Country — will host a networking event at North Bowl Lanes, 24 North Bowl Lane, Friday, Jan. 22.

The event, which will begin at 9 p.m., will feature a night of bowling. The cost is $3.50 per game or $9.25 per person for two games and shoe rentals. For more information, call 420-2224.

PLATTSBURGH — Plattsburgh Sunrise Rotary Club will host a day of outdoor winter activities at May Currier Park on Tom Miller Road Saturday, Jan. 30, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The day will include snow sculpting contests, horsedrawn sleigh rides, wheelbarrow races, frying pan toss contests, a King of the Hill contest, snowshoe kickball games, sledding, marshmallow roasting, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing with gear to be provided by the town

of Plattsburgh. Ice skating will also be offered with participants asked to bring their own skates.

Admission will be $2 per person, with those age 4 and younger admitted free. Proceeds will go toward the HEAP fuel assistance program. The club will also collect donations of hats, coats and mittens for the less fortunate.

For more information, contact Ann Morgan at 524-7104 or by e-mail at annmmorgan@gmail.com.

Project From page 1 Cringle said he is not at liberty to discuss the terms and conditions of the agreement because of a confidentiality clause, if the sale does come to fruition, the district office will have to be relocated.

“It’s very, very promising to the district,” Cringle said of the agreement.

According to the Clinton County Office of Real Property, the assessed value of the former Dannemora Elementary building is $1,286,300 and the former Cadyville Elementary building is assessed for $500,000.

The sale of the properties would help offset the local share of the proposed project, which is expected to be extended over 15 years, yet “minimal,” said Cringle. Ninety percent of the cost of the project is expected to be reimbursable by state aid.

In a brochure mailed to homes within the school district, Cringle stated it was the opinion of the school board and administration the proposal is “in the best interests of the students and taxpayers to do it now, when we can take advantage of the addi-

tional state funds to mitigate the local tax impact instead of being forced to make necessary repairs and replacements using local dollars from the annual operating budget.”

“I would say this is as a cost-effective and practical and prudent project as there is,” said Cringle.

If the project is approved by the voters, Cringle said it would be at least two years until construction of the elementary school addition and improvements are complete.

The state Department of Education would also have to approve the project.

“That’s normally a half-year process, if not, longer,” said Cringle.

The public is invited to an informational meeting Thursday, Jan. 28, in the auditorium

of the middle school/high school complex, located at 70 Picketts Corners Road. The meeting will begin at 6 p.m.

Cringle said district officials will also be meeting with various “stakeholders” in the community, including family-school organizations and district faculty and staff.

The Feb. 9 vote will be held in the middle school gymnasium from 12-8 p.m. The vote is open to legal residents of the school district age 18 and older. Voters do not have to own property or be the parent of a Saranac Central student.

Those interested in obtaining more information may contact the district office at 5655600 or e-mail board@saranac.org.

Solution to last week’s puzzle

SATURDAY January 16, 2010

www.clinton-today.com

CLINTON TODAY - 11

But, I paid for our park with my taxes — how can you charge a fee to use it?

T

he concept of charging an entrance toll, a user fee or a parking permit to utilize public lands, such as those encompassed within the 6.5 million acres Adirondack Park is an issue that always stirs people’s emotions.

However if the quality of the experience declines due to misuse and abuse of the woods and waters, lack of conservation law enforcement, wilderness protections and other similar matters, we will all pay in the end.

On busy summer weekends there may be up to 100 rafts, each holding 8 to 10 people, riding a dam released bubble through the public waters of the Hudson River gorge.

At a cost of around $75 to $85 per person, the 17-mile run from Indian Lake to North River provides nearly a dozen whitewater outfitters with a steady, three season income.

Incorporated into each outfitter’s rate structure is a town imposed user fee for each paddler in the raft. Annually, these user fees contribute over $75,000 to the town of Indian Lake, a sizable chunk of change for a small town budget.

The regularly scheduled water releases from Lake Abanakee have enabled outfitters to reliably offer rafting adventures throughout the summer and into the fall. And while the ride is exciting, it’s a far more family friendly experience than springtime runs when the raging Class V-VI river is filled with snowmelt and chunks of ice.

To the paddlers, the user fees go unnoticed.

Guests leave happy after a thrilling, 17-mile wilderness adventure, the hotels and bars are full, the restaurants are busy and local taxes are relatively stable.

A similar process plays out on the Sacandaga River near Lake Luzerne, where a regularly scheduled dam release provides whitewater enthusiasts with a similar, watery bubble of opportunity all summer long.

However, user fees collected for the use of the Sac’s public waters are deposited into the bank account of National Grid, a British consortium that now owns the former Niagara Mohawk Power Company dam.

Is it fair to charge paddlers a fee for the use of a public river? Would it be any different than collecting money from hikers utilizing trails in the Forest Preserve or from paddlers utilizing local streams and ponds?

The very notion goes against principles of our national culture. It violates our inherent right of a sense of adventure, the freedom to roam at will and the ingrained, pioneer spirit that seems to dwell in the very core of most outdoor travelers.

Such is the conundrum currently facing many state and national agencies charged with the responsibility of managing our nation’s

wild lands.

In future years, the value of our wild lands will surely increase due to both the financial and climate changes that lie ahead.

While officials interested in implementing user fees on public park lands may be questioned about the fairness of charging fees for taxpayersupported operations, collecting a fee for the cost of a socalled “free” service has its advantages.

“The issue of the fairness of user fees was answered in the parks and recreation industry 15 years ago,” explained Ken Conway, a Park Director in Cameron County, Texas. “Users of parks are willing to pay a reasonable fee for a quality service. The whole recreation industry nationwide has really embraced user fees as a way to make sure there’s support in the budget from year to year.”

Camping and RV sites on South Padre Island generated over $1.6 million in revenue for Cameron County, Texas last year.

It has been estimated that one out of every five US travelers will choose an outdoor vacation this year. But, it is a fact that over 100 million people live within a day’s drive of the Adirondack Park. Do the math!

If just a $10 fee was collected from only the estimated 200,000 visitors that visit the Eastern High Peaks annually, the state could collect an easy $2 million.

Think of the income that New York state could generate with the registration of mountain bikes, as it is done in popular destinations such as Moab and Red Rock.

Or even canoes. Of course, for anyone purchasing a hunting, trapping or fishing license, such registrations would be included.

Registrations could be purchased through a special unit of the motor vehicles office. Purchases could be accomplished instantly via the current DECALS computer licensing system.

User fees are currently being collected for the use of state parklands in nearly a dozen states including California, Texas, Wisconsin, Colorado, Oregon, Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and New Hampshire. Could New York be next?

Many people don’t realize it, but New York is already there! For several years, New York State has collected user fees, through the Department of Motor Vehicles. ATV and snowmobile registrations include fees dedicated to the development of off-road trails. Sadly, the money has been paid, but development of the trails is still lagging.

If user fees were to be collected from all user groups, including hikers, bikers, paddlers. climbers and skiers, the proceeds would have return to the trails and bridges, put in sites and accessible waters.

In 2006, the DEC instituted a voluntary user fee for hikers with its Trail Supporter patch.

Currently, the Trail Supporter patch, available with a $5 donation, is one of the only methods for nonanglers, hunters or trappers to contribute to the Conservation Fund. The Habitat Stamp pin is a token of appreciation that is provided to individuals that make a voluntary $5 contribution to DEC to preserve wildlife habitat across NY state.

All monies raised from sales of the $5 patch are dedicated to the Conservation Fund’s Outdoor Recreation, Trail Maintenance, and Development Account to help maintain and enhance non-motorized trails throughout New York State.

The first year of the program, the DEC sold 482 items with $2,320 revenue. In 2009, only 131 of the voluntary Trail Supporter Patches sold for a total of $655.

Trails Supporter Patches are available for purchase for a $5 donation at all outlets where sporting licenses are sold and they are also sold and on DEC’s website.

In a comparable effort focused on hunters and anglers, DEC sales of a $5 habitat stamp, dedicated to the protection and enhancement of fish and wildlife habitat, garnished over $4,000 through voluntary contributions. A lapel pin comes with the donation.

I usually purchase both items, along with my annual Sportsman’s license. At a cost of nearly $90, the annual license is a bargain. It lets me take home a fair quantity of locally raised, free range, all organic, fish, game, fowl and other all natural collectibles such as fresh berries, wild mushrooms and an assortment of other woodland table fare.

Programs such as the Trail Supporter Pass and Habitat Stamp allow users to exhibit their contribution. The development of similar patches for paddlers, rock climbers, backcountry skiers and snowshoers would allow

other user groups could provide the opportunity for everyone to contribute and be represented. Such an effort would also go a long way toward reducing the alienation and fragmentation of various user groups.

I have found that most sportsmen and women, are also avid hikers and paddlers, skiers and snowshoers. In actuality, it appears that members of the various user groups often have more commonalities than they have differences. We all share a common bond in our desire to enjoy our respective activities, even if some of the pursuits are limited by the season.

The annual invasion of the ‘leaf peepers’ is one example of a user group traveling the woodlands of the Adirondacks seeking something other than fish or game for their efforts.

Birders, who venture north to view the massive flights of snow geese along Lake Champlain are yet another growing user group.

There are many more.

Next week, I will investigate various concepts of implementing user fees. Reader comments and suggestions are most welcome.
