Adirondack Indian Lake students pick up the brush of Spirits sees Michelangelo, create non-traditional art projects new ownership

By Lindsay Yandon lindsay@denpubs.com

By Lindsay Yandon lindsay@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK - After a long and complicated process, Dave Backe has now assumed full ownership of Adirondack Spirits in downtown North Creek.

In mid-December, Backe purchased the business from longtime business owner Elliot Monter, who still owns the Grand Union plaza itself.

Backe, however, is no stranger to running the business as he managed it for Monter Dave Backe took ownerfor 15 of its 17 ship of Adirondack Spiryears of oper- its liquor and wine shop in mid-December after ation.

“I feel as years of managing it.

Photo by Lindsay Yandon though I have grown the business myself over the past many years,” he said.

Backe hails from outside Boston in Massachusetts and has been living in Warrensburg since he moved north 17 years ago.

The purchase of Adirondack Spirits took Backe several years. He encountered many problems with acquiring approval from the Liquor Authority and waited many months on loan approvals.

“Once I got into the process, I realized how much it was going to take to make it happen,” said Backe. “I was really hoping to be all set by December to not miss out on the holiday business.”

His wish came true as he re-opened right before Christmas and saw strong holiday business. No sales records were broken, but Backe was pleased.

Backe is continuing to offer a wide selection of beers, wines and liquors as well as his traditional Wine Club, offering frequent buyers points toward coupons.

Adirondack Spirits is no longer the only place to purchase wine in North Creek. With the opening of bar Vino’s wine cellar across the street, Backe is faced with competition, although he doesn't view it that way at all.

INDIAN LAKE — Three juniors at Indian Lake Central School (ILCS) now have a unique appreciation of how Michelangelo felt while trapped under a ceiling in Rome.

Over the past four weeks, Lauren Arsenault’s art students have been studying the Renaissance in Art History. As one of their projects, she asked them to replicate a panel of the Sistine Chapel while painting upside-down, just like Michelangelo did.

“I thought she was crazy,” said Megan Miller.

Despite apprehension, however, Miller joined fellow students Zakari LeBlanc and Shawnna Myers as they laid on step-stools underneath their desks and began to paint.

“Students in this class never do a lot of book work,” said Arsenault, a third-year teacher at ILCS. “They learn this material best by doing and working hands-on.”

“I was excited at first and then it started to hurt,” said Myers.

After the first session, students complained of arm cramps and rubbed the bruises on their backs. They returned, however, for 40 minute sessions each day for the following month.

Shawnna Myers, Zakari LeBlanc and Megan Miller paint upside-down as they replicate panels of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel.

SATURDAY January 23, 2010

International pianist to Tri-County Auxiliary celebrates 35 years of service perform at Tannery Pond Dedicated to “caring NORTH CREEK — On Saturday, Jan. 23 The Tannery Pond Community Center will welcome Eugene Albulescu, internationally acclaimed pianist.

The performance will begin at 7:30 p.m. and will feature Alessandro Scarlatti’s 3 Sonatas, Ludwig Van Beethoven’s "Appassionata" Sonata, Franz Joseph Haydn’s Sonata in E flat major and Franz Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody No, 2.

Tickets are priced at $10 for adults and $5 for students.

Albulescu is an award-winning performer who combines a blazing technique with the artistic integrity and originality to express musical emotions at their most personal level.

He follows a distinguished line of "pianist/conductors," including Christoph Eschenbach, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Daniel Barenboim and many more.

Albulescu’s emergence on the international scene came in 1994, when his debut recording (Albulescu Plays Liszt, MANU1446) earned him the Grand Prix du Disque Liszt, awarded for the best Liszt recording of the year. He joined legendary recipients such as Horowitz and Brendel.

Since then, Albulescu has maintained a successful career in the United States and abroad. The New York Times have credited with having "infallible fingers of steel," declaring that "nothing, anywhere, has any terrors for him."

Albulescu performed in New York at Barge Music in 1996, and later gave his Carnegie Hall debut in the Stern Auditorium in 2001, performing the Liszt Piano Concerto No. 1 with the Orchestra of St. Peter ’s-by-the-Sea. He gained national recognition in the United States with broadcasts on several classical stations, as well as on NPR’s Performance Today.

For more information on the performance, call 251-3751 or see visit www.upperhudsonmusic.org.

Johnsburg offers computer help JOHNSBURG — The Town of Johnsburg Library is offering free instruction to anyone who just got a new laptop and has questions about all it's functions. Caleb Eick will be at the library Jan. 21 and Jan. 28 from 4-7 p.m. for free instruction. Please call to schedule a time at 251-4343.

Rail Trail seeks community input NORTH RIVER — The Friends of the Upper Hudson Rail Trail will present their vision and listen to comments about the proposed bike trail along the old Tahawus railway on Thursday, Jan. 28.

and sharing” at Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

By Lindsay Yandon lindsay@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — Members of the Adirondack TriCounty Nursing and Rehabilitation Center (ATCN&RC) Auxiliary have been serving nursing home residents for the past 35 years. They gathered there on Tuesday for a luncheon to celebrate their accomplishments and plan for the years to come.

The auxiliary is active in sponsoring fund raising events, volunteering in activities and much more.

They are responsible for the annual flea market, tricky tray and sales. Through various fund raising raffles and drives, the auxiliary has generated over $175,000 for the ATCN&RC over the past 35 years.

In 35 years, the auxiliary has come a long way. In their first tricky tray event held in the 90’s, the Auxiliary raised about $196 and these events now bring over $1,000 to the coffers of the (ATCN&RC).

“I am honored to help you celebrate,” said nursing home director Hal Payne at the luncheon. “The auxiliary is an added bonus to the facility. It is always nice when they are here and they are appreciated by the resi-

dents.”

Payne acknowledged the changes endured by the nursing home over the past several years, but acknowledged the steadfast nature of the auxiliary. “We have been through many things, including several names changes, but the quality is the same,” he said.

“They provide outstanding volunteer time,” said board member, Karen Smith.

Auxiliary president, Nancy Shaw stood to commemorate how far the auxiliary has come in the past 35 years with her remarks from their

25th anniversary in hand.

“We have come a long way even since then,” she said.

Shaw commended the members who have donated many years of their lives to the efforts of the auxiliary.

Several members have been with the auxiliary since the 70’s, while some residents of the nursing home began as auxiliary members.

Members returned Shaw’s appreciation and thanked her for her leadership.

“She is dedicated and leads in a great way,” said Jamie Reynolds, activity di-

rector at ATCN&RC. Despite their success, the auxiliary is seeking to expand their membership.

They once attracted members from all over the North Country, but are currently made up of mostly Johnsburg residents, drawing sparsely from Minerva and Indian Lake.

“We would really like to increase our membership in order to continue to proved these services to the nursing home,” said Shaw.

Those interested in auxiliary membership should contact Shaw at 251-3069.

Bob Paisley returns to North Creek in “The Event”

By Sue Davis denpubs@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — Like in a wedding, the Our Town Theatre Group (OTTG) combines the new and the old on Jan. 30 at Tannery Pond Community Center (TPCC) with a performance of “The Event,” a one-man show

by Bob Paisley.

Paisley is a founder, actor, and director with the Metropolitan Ensemble Theatre in Kansas City, Missouri. He is also an old friend of OTTG - he directed “The Dining Room” in the Fall of 2005 and “Book of Days” in the spring of 2006. His superb acting talent, however, is new to the OTTG stage. In the last few years, Paisley has played parts in the “The Glass Menagerie”, “The Rosa Parks Story,” General Hospital and many other productions in various venues.

“The Event” was written by John Clancy for a strong, one-man performer. As the Scotsman reviews it, “the lone actor in the spotlight becomes a haunting every-man hero of our times; a man unsure of his own authenticity, haunted by the aging muscular memory of a time when phones had to be dialed and typewriter keys struck with force.”

This one-night-only performance of “The Event” will begin at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $10 and should be ordered ahead of time by call-

Bob Paisley ing 251-2938 to reserve seats.

After the performance there will be a silent auction to benefit OTTG as well as a wine and cheese reception with the actor.

Join OTTG for this special evening to share what audiences from Kansas City to London have enjoyed.

Spirits From page 1 In the true spirit of a North Creek business owner, he said, “Any business is helpful to this town and the more that are open, the better.”

Since moving from manager to owner, Backe can be found in Adirondack spirits night and day.

“I am working now more than I ever have,” said Backe. “But, it’s a great job and I love doing it.”

Backe acknowledges that he has an opportunity to observe the community around him and get to know his customers.

“The best parts of this business are the multiple conversations that I have with many different people who are doing many different things with their lives,” said Backe. “It’s a low stress environment and I have seen kids grow up from the windows of this store.”

Backe is planning a re-opening event in February to celebrate his ownership and continued service to North Creek and surrounding communities.

North Creek Rotary lends a hand to Haiti Joins ShelterBox USA

WA N T E D • WA N T E D

NORTH CREEK — The North Creek Rotary Club, representing Rotary International, has joined with ShelterBox USA to aid Haiti victims.

ShelterBox is an international organization dedicated to providing humanitarian aid in the form of shelter, warmth and comfort to people displaced by natural and other disasters. They send actual boxes designed to supply a family with a tent and lifesaving equipment to use while they are displaced or homeless.

“Rotary Clubs have supported this effort for nearly 10 years,” said Carl von Czoernig, president of the North Creek Rotary Club. “Each shelter box would help a family of up to 10 people.”

ShelterBox is the only international disaster relief organization that provides shelter and lifesaving equipment and has responded to more than 100 disasters in more than 60 countries to date. It celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.

Boxes are assembled as a result of donations through in-

dividual gifts, foundations, and Rotary Club fundraisers.

More than 85 percent of each dollar raised goes directly to services.

It is support from small organizations like the North Creek Rotary Club that allow ShelterBox to reach those in need.

“The need in Haiti is huge,” said ShelterBox founder and CEO Tom Henderson. “Current estimates are that there are over a million people who have lost their homes. We continue to rely on the support of volunteers and donors to allow us to help them in the days and weeks to come.”

ShelterBox has established three separate operational centers in and around Haiti to help distribute assistance to the estimated one million people left homeless by the earthquake on Jan. 12.

“This is the largest, quickest and most complex deployment in our history,” said ShelterBox head of operations, John Leach. “We are now very well organized across four countries to get ShelterBoxes to the people of Haiti quickly.

We will channel aid to those in need efficiently and effectively in the days and weeks to come.”

ShelterBox prides itself in being a grassroots Rotary club project, which has successfully grown to the international level. To get involved with the efforts of the North Creek Rotary Club, visit www.ShelterBoxUSA.org.

Local coaching legacy, Randy LaFountain turns 50 Submitted by The LaFountain Family denpubs@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — Many North Creek residents know Randy LaFountain as the head coach of Johnsburg’s Youth Baseball team, “Gore.” Coach LaFountain, however, is so much more.

LaFountain and his family moved to North Creek in the early 1970’s when he was only a child. He came with his late parents, Betty and Clarence Davis and his siblings, Robin Scheeren, Regina Baker, Paul Davis, Julie West, and the late Ruthie Mandy.

Sports have always been a significant part of LaFountain’s life. Prior to graduating from Johnsburg Central School (JCS) in 1979, Randy led his varsity soccer team to League Championships in 1975 - 1978. He was one of only two people to be part of a League Championship team four years in a row. When the old JCS kickboard was taken down a few years ago, he made sure to save the section of the kickboard engraved with his playing years. He looks back fondly on these years and is proud to have been a part of such a great string of teams.

Aside from soccer, LaFountain has been actively playing and coaching several other sports since his high school days, including tennis, baseball, and basketball. A current member at Green Mansions Golf Club, Randy enjoys hitting the links with his two sons and his two stepsons.

An avid poker and successful billiards player, LaFountain can often be found shooting pool on his table at home, complete with custom Miami Dolphins logo printed on the felt.

Though a lifelong resident of NY, he has always been a huge Miami Dolphins fan.

A struggling single Dad, LaFountain raised his three children (Randy, Becky, and Robert) in North Creek. Between working various jobs and raising teenagers, he still made time to attends games and even coach.

In 1994, LaFountain met his current wife, Lisa Bohmer [LaFountain]. She joined the family with her two sons, Ray & Stephen. He met Bohmer while coaching her sons in Little League.

Coach Randy LaFountain Photos courtesy of the LaFountain family

LaFountain began his affiliation with North Creek Little League in 1993 when his youngest son was 12 years old. This year will be his 17th consecutive year. Though a fierce competitor, he goes out of his way to make sure all the kids on his team have fun. His Little Leaguers are his family too.

LaFountain’s and his wife enjoy two grandchildren and currently await the arrival of a third.

On behalf of the LaFountain family and the community of North Creek, thank you to Coach Randy LaFountain for being an excellent teacher, a pillar of the community, and a great father and husband. Happy Birthday.

DEC cuts off community’s lifeline

By Jon Alexander jon@denpubs.com BEAVER RIVER — Scott Thompson knows a thing or two about ferrying people across the Stillwater Reservoir in Herkimer County.

After all, he has done it his entire life, as did his father and grandfather, reaching back 60 years.

For 50 years or more, his family’s ferry has been the only way to get people in or out of the hamlet of Beaver River.

Beaver River residents have depended solely on the ferry to shuttle food, supplies, vehicles and equipment, as well as taking people to doctor ’s appointments, to go shopping, or even visit the outside world.

No access road to the hamlet has existed since 1876, when the sole pathway was flooded by the state to create the reservoir. Rail service to the hamlet of Beaver River was discontinued in 1949.

Now, the state Department of Environmental Conservation is seeking to prohibit the ferry service from operating, citing that it’s illegally using state property.

But the action is likely to strand dozens of local residents, cutting them off from the rest of civilization.

Friday, the Warren County Board of Supervisors approved an emergency measure objecting to DEC’s order, issued Nov. 30, that the ferry service be halted permanently.

According to DEC Region 6 spokesman Steve Litwhiler, the Thompsons have been operating their business illegally for decades, using state forest preserve as mooring, loading and unloading areas.

“This involves the private and commercial use of state land, that’s the issue,” Litwhiler said.

The order, threatening legal action, demanded that all docks immediately removed from the state-owned boat launch.

Private enterprise is not typically allowed on state land, especially forest preserve, Litwhiler said.

The Thompson family has owned and operated the Norridgewock Lodge in Beaver River since the 1940s.

Thompson said that the ferry service accounts for the bulk of his business, transporting not only people and cars, but also municipal trucks and basic supplies for the residents of the 120 seasonal camps in the town of Webb hamlet.

“Beaver River has continued to grow and the public awareness about it has developed some,” he said.

In an interview, Thompson described how his father started the ferry about 60 years ago.

“They started a barge service, a wooden raft of sorts, that ran people in and out of Beaver River,” he said. “There was no facilities at Beaver River to unload a car or supplies, so they kind of floated things across.”

Thompson said that if the ferry service is shut down, his entire business will go under.

Litwhiler said that even in the early days, the Thompsons were in violation since almost all of the land around the reservoir has been designated Forest Preserve since the Preserve was created.

Last week, DEC representatives met with Thompson in an attempt to find a solution.

Thompson said he is hoping to get a temporary easement for the upcoming season. He said that in the long run, he would like to see an amendment to the regional Unit Management Plan to allow the ferry service to continue from the present docking site, or from a substitute location.

Jeff Bishop, a spokesman for state Sen. James Seward, said the state created the problem when flooding the reservoir and it should make some long-term accommodations for the ferry service.

“We have to fix a situation which was created by the state, and end up with a positive outcome,” he said.

Thompson agreed that the situation deserves accommodation by the state, particularly since they flooded the reservoir and isolated the community in the first place.

“There are all kinds of private businesses on state land,” Thompson said. “A pro shop at a state-owned golf course is a private endeavor, and so is a cafeteria at a state-owned mountain.”

Dine In and Ski Out at the Arts Center BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE — The Adirondack Center for the Arts will feature a Dine In/Ski Out evening on Jan. 30.

Skiers will enjoy the beauty of the Adirondacks under a full moon accompanied by sport, great food and even better company. The event begins at 5 pm on Saturday and costs $3 and $2 for members.

Hearty fare will be served by the an-

nual Arts Center Potluck and skiers and snowshoers alike will trek across Lake Durant after their meal.

“We will have everything from soup to snowshoes,” said Laura Marsh, assistant director. “Make sure you don’t miss out on this night of winter fun.”

Preceding the Dine In/Ski Out event, the Arts Center will invite space aficionados young and old to build and launch their own rocket ships.

The workshop begins at 1 p.m. and costs $15 and $10 for members.

“This is the closest we can come to offering astronaut training to the Adirondacks,” said Marsh. “Perhaps we will see some of these young people at the Kennedy Space Center someday.”

Both events are family friendly and are open to the public. For more information, visit www.adirondackarts.org.

Art From page 1 Despite obvious discomfort, however, the students thrived on doing like Michelangelo did.

“It was really cool, because we were doing this the same way that he did it,” said LeBlanc.

Choosing a panel to replicate turned out to be the easy part in this project. Arsenault said that they chose panels that represented images they appreciated, stories they recognized from the Bible and people they were eager to recreate.

“I chose my panel because I liked the woman’s dress,” said Miller as she showed off her colorful representation of a woman in a flowing gown.

Upon picking their panel, the students laid down under their desks to sketch in pencil and then paint their pieces.

“I am very pleased with their adaptations,” said Arsenault. “They really got into the spirit of the project and the results speak for themselves.

The Sistine Chapel replicas will adorn the halls of ILCS in the weeks to come and will make for good stories as well.

Karlee Rockstroh and Matthew King received first place in the cardboard box race featured at the Long Lake Winter Carnival last weekend.

Groomer From page 1 The new machine is smaller and more compact as well as the first in North America to pull a drag designated for snowmobile trail grooming. The Paana is typically used on cross country ski trails “It has a lot of power for a little rig and the drag handles beyond expectations,” said Bill Brandt of Mohawk Ltd. He is confident it will be successful at its new job.

Long Lake chose a smaller groomer in an effort to be thrifty on fuel and friendly to the environment, while meeting the highest emission standards for 2011.

“We are committed to supporting the snowmobile industry and appreciate the growing popularity and resurgence of snowmobiling for family fun,” said Alexandra Verner Roalsvig, director of Parks, Recreation and Tourism in Long Lake.

T

he year was 1771, and the American colonies united in their refusal to pay taxes imposed by an English Parliament in which they had no representa-

tion.

It was this taxation without representation that ultimately laid the groundwork for the American Revolution and our independence as a nation.

Flash forward to 1971 and the organization of the Adirondack Park Agency. Here was a tax-subsidized state agency with absolutely no representation from the people they were charged with regulating.

Sound familiar? Call it regulation without representation.

While the APA Act was later adopted requiring five park residents on the Board of Commissioners, the discontent created in 1971 remained.

Today, it may be stronger than ever.

Fueled by recent media reports of arbitrary enforcement, hypocritical acts, infiltration by environmental groups, jurisdictional disputes, proposed regulations on everything from boathouses to hunting cabins and astronomical fines threatened against those who disobey these edicts — many are saying enough is enough.

The APA needs to be dismantled — and I’m not the only one saying so.

The Glens Falls Post-Star made a similar case in a recent thought-provoking editorial, and Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward also just joined the campaign.

“People you would never think would have considered it are now talking about it,” Sayward told me in a recent phone interview. “The APA has outlived its usefulness.”

The original intent of the agency was not a bad one. The concept was to have a group that could provide tools to local governments so land-use planning was done with the environment in mind.

Former chairman of the Adirondack Park Review Board Joe Rota said that without the APA Act, development would have run rampant in the 1970s.

“In 1973, there was no planning or zoning in many Adirondack towns, the safeguards included in the act were needed,” he said.

But, the Goliath the APA has become — with its strongarm tactics and seemingly endless state resources — oversteps its motive.

It may even be self-defeating in its purpose, because of the discontent and trepidation that exists.

“The problem is in their interpretation of the act and then changing it through regulation. The act was only supposed to be modified by the state Legislature,” Rota said, noting stringent waterfront regulations the APA has enacted and a proposal to limit boathouse size.

“It’s really just a harassment thing, it has nothing to do with protecting the environment,” Rota said.

Indeed, with its $6.2 million annual budget and 72 positions, the agency seems to spend more energy chasing conforming landowners, enacting its own rogue regulations and fighting lengthy court battles than championing the environment.

When the agency does decide to act, they take jurisdiction over an entire project instead of simply the portion that triggered the jurisdictional determination, then often force unrealistic standards all their own — standards they seemingly pull from the sky depending on who sits across the table.

Black Brook Councilman Howard Aubin, a long-time outspoken critic of the APA and its tactics, believes the agency arbitrarily picks certain cases to pursue and then makes an example for all to see.

“They try to scare others into complying with their wishes,” Aubin said. “All it does is create more contempt and anger.”

Take, for example, the recent Lowe’s project in Ticonderoga. Although the project was being built in a hamlet with an approved APA land-use plan in place, the APA stepped in and took jurisdiction from town planners because a wetland half the size of a swimming pool existed on the 10-acre parcel and the building was a few feet too high.

Instead of making sure the concerns of that tiny wetland were mitigated, the park crusaders opened the entire project to review, miring it in bureaucratic red tape and adding months to its completion and thousands of dollars in expense.

The finding? Lowe’s sign was too big.

Never mind the building is in the middle of the town’s business district with a Wal-Mart sign the size of a Greyhound bus next door, the APA said Lowe’s should only be allowed a sign smaller than a sheet of plywood.

Common sense? It simply doesn’t exist in Raybrook.

And oh, how they hate to lose.

When the enforcement case between the agency and Essex farmer Sandy Lewis was settled last summer in his favor, the lead APA attorney on the case, Paul Van Cott, swapped malicious e-mails with Lewis.

“Mr. Lewis, you are a sociopath,” wrote Van Cott.

“Please shut up. Go out and get a shovel and work like a real person on your farm. Enjoy life and be a real farmer.

You are very fortunate. Realize that and get a life.”

“Go farm. Dig a hole, milk a cow. Enjoy the 1,000 acres of farmland on Lake Champlain that you have,” he wrote, going on to defend the APA's Nov. 9, 2009 settlement with LeRoy Douglas, the Silver Lake resort owner who recently had his APA enforcement case mysteriously dropped.

“You won your case,” Van Cott told Lewis. “We respect the law. Go farm.”

Van Cott was later “reassigned” from the agency’s enforcement division — but was never formally reprimanded, nor was his pay reduced.

I’m not sure if someone in private business would have been afforded the same luxury.

These examples only scratch the surface of the oppression inflicted by the park agency, stories I have covered as a journalist here for more than two decades.

It is time we the Adirondack people take back our independence — remove the air of impropriety, withdraw the blank check for delivering justice and demand equal enforcement for all.

We do that by disbanding the APA and passing its jurisdiction over private land to local governments. We then allow the state Department of Environmental Conservation to do what it is charged with under the state Constitution — protect the public lands in the Adirondacks.

They are best suited to do so.

And, contrary to the “regulation without representation” thinking that existed in 1971, it is time state lawmakers realize the Adirondack people have both the capability and aptitude to administer environmental regulations, free of the political and environmental bias that exists at the APA. We, after all, have the most to lose.

The Adirondack Park Agency has, as Teresa Sayward so eloquently put it, outlived its usefulness.

Johnsburg Goes to War: 1861-1865 T

his is my third column researching men from Johnsburg who served in the Union forces in Civil War. The information, pictures, letters and diaries of these men and their families I will share at a program scheduled for the Tannery Pond Community Center in Sep. of 2011.

Three of the four men in this week’s column were married when they enlisted and served for more than three years. These men may have been particularly patriotic or, perhaps, they went off to war to escape the boredom of farm work or to escape a listless marriage. It is just as likely they enlisted for the bounty, sometimes as much as $200, which they needed to help feed their growing families.

If you have any information on the men listed below, or from past lists in this column, please contact me at 2153009 or pearsall.glenn@gmail.com. Thanks.

Glenn L. Pearsall Better, Levi Born March 28, 1842 in “Canada East”. Son of Charles and Polly (Wells). Enlisted May 3, 1861 at age 19, within three weeks of the firing on Ft. Sumter, as a private in the 22nd NY Volunteers. Discharged on Feb. 17, 1863, but reenlisted the following Aug. in the 69th NY Vol. Infantry.

Discharged Jun. 17, 1865, two months after Lee’s surrender at Appomattox, VA. Bills, Smith Born Nov 12, 1833. Son of Daniel and Pamela (Bennet).

Married when he enlisted Aug. 28, 1862 for three years.

NEWS ENTERPRISE - 7

Reader enjoys new column

To the News Enterprise: In Warren County, the tail wags the dog. That's how it's always been. Most of the people live in the southeast corner and are the ones with the power to do things. A person who needs a job, for instance, can find a good one in the southeast corner or struggle elsewhere. Though some of us like to live by ourselves up in the woods, majority rule is the law of the land.

So, it came as a surprise to have the county, meeting in the southeast corner, propose an economic development scheme that would affect the whole western section of the county. And when the going got rough, it's not a surprise that the county would fall short and retreat to the southeast corner of the county - leaving the western section of the county to pick up the pieces. Unfortunately, that's politics as we know it.

About 10 years ago, when I became a conductor on the Upper Hudson River Railroad, I was instructed to tell the passengers that we'd be connected to Saratoga next year. I was told that there would be stations at The Glen, Thurman, Stoney Creek, Hadley-Luzerne, Corinth and so on down the line that would make for a complete and successful economic engine to propel these towns to a prosperous future. All that Warren County would want in return, I was told, would be the increased sales tax revenues from those towns. That was before the bed tax.

The next year found no movement on the great plan, but I was told to repeat the mantra “next year.” I became an apologist for the county and their lack of follow-through on the plan. Eventually, a few things happened and, bitby-bit, we made our way south. Not to stations along the line, but to places where they hopefully would occur. It was a hard sell and in response came the phrase “train to nowhere.”

The railroad has always had its detractors from the southeast corner of the county. It's been said that the train doesn't have any problems that could not be cured by sending it through Glens Falls, but it was not to be.

In the video “America's Great Scenic Railway Journeys,” we are the first railroad featured. Our customers call us the best ride on the Hudson River. We call ourselves “the friendliest railroad” and we mean it. Our safety record is excellent. Amtrak conductors are envious of our sound system. We are the favorite fund raiser for Saint MarySaint Alphonsus' school in Glens Falls with their “Santa's Christmas Express.” Their hundreds of volunteers each year do a fantastic job. I'll always remember them.

I've also enjoyed meeting all the politicians we've hosted on the train. Dan Stec and even Bill Kenney have been more than cordial on their excursions and it's been pleasurable to make their acquaintance. Betty Little shows her stripes as an educator when we benefit Dollars for Scholars with their “Race the Train” event. Theresa Sayward and Kirsten Gillibrand are not strangers here either. My choice for honorary conductor is Gene Merlino. The best fun this past year has been to be the "boss" of Bill Thomas, a great friend and our new conductor. Of course, without Bill's effort we wouldn't be talking about a railroad.

Before I knew anything about railroads I was a contractor doing stone masonry. Contracting is a tough contact sport with consequences. John and Jerry Riegel are two of the most tenacious contractors I've ever met. These guys have a lot of heart to be bidding to continue their Upper Hudson River Railroad as evidenced by the 78 other companies contacted for bids who declined. In view of the difficulties of downtrodden economy, Warren County recalcitrance and how much more is needed for success of the railroad, I would have run away screaming.

John and Jerry are also principals in W.J. Riegel and Sons Rail Solutions, the company who late last fall completed rehabilitation of the tracks from Corinth to Saratoga. Finally after all these years the rails are ready to take us to Saratoga.

In railroading, the money is in freight as opposed to passenger service. Barton's Mines in North River is the largest garnet mine in the world. Could their desire to ship more economically and ecologically to their processing plant in New Jersey make the railroad more viable? As Brazil and South America approach first world status, could it be feasible to re-open the mine in Tahawus where there's more titanium in the ground than has yet been removed? You bet Newcomb Supervisor George Cannon hopes so.

Railroading is a tough business and the choices involved are a hard calculus. Are we up to it? Time will tell. Some indications are positive. This spring we had a washout just south of Riverside that precluded any trips south all summer. That was misinterpreted by the Post Star as a refusal to go south. The county DPW and DOT stepped up to the plate and with the help of W.J. Riegel and Sons Rail Solutions just plain handled it while the board of supervisors debated. Clearly, the county has hired capable people who can solve problems they've never seen before.

The Upper Hudson River Railroad is a for-profit corporation. We'll go anywhere we can any time we can to at least make our expenses and hopefully make a buck. As we look forward toward an un-certain future it's incumbent upon us to remember our past and whatever becomes of us we owe gratitude to the people of Warren County. Thank you. It's been a great ride.

Kent Gregson Head Conductor Upper Hudson River Railroad

To the News Enterprise: I want to thank Glenn Pearsall for the Civil War article in the Jan. 9 edition of the News Enterprise, entitled “Johnsburg goes to War”.

When I read the whole article my heart went out to the mother and father of those five sons, four of whom were killed in action during the Civil War. The five sons of Minerva and Edward Austin served in the Union Army to keep our nation together and to outlaw slavery. As he wrote, we soon will be recognizing that it is 150 years ago that the Civil War started between the North and the South.

Four of the Austins’ five sons gave their lives to make our nation “slave” free. Yet, today, we still read and see examples of racist actions against not only African Americans, but also our Native Americans and all other races that are not white.

I leave you with a question, “Is it possible we cannot learn?” I pray not!

T

he month of December 2009 definitely put an end to the Fall-like temperatures of November as snow and cold finally arrived. The first Winter storm on the 9th dropped 11 inches of snow and the daytime high temperatures began to stay consistently below freezing. We also had our first sub zero day on the 18th as the overnight temperature fell to 12 degrees below zero.

The average high temperature was 29.6 degrees and the average low was 13.2 degrees, giving us an average temperature of 21.4 degrees - 2.7 degrees below normal and the 5th coldest on record. The coldest was in 1989 when the average was only 8 degrees and the warmest was in 2006 when the average was 31.5 degrees. The highest temperature was 54 degrees recorded on the 3rd and the lowest was -12 degrees recorded on the 18th.

There were five days with readings below zero compared to an average of three. Incidentally, in that cold December of 1989 there were 19 days with below zero readings - an all-time record for any month. This year there were 1351.5 degree days bringing the seasonal total to 3111.

Melted precipitation was above normal with 4.99 inches being recorded - 1.78 inches above normal and the 6th wettest on record. This brings our seasonal total to 45.22 inches - 3.2 inches above normal. The wettest December was in 1983 when 6.57 inches were measured and the driest was in 1989 when only 0.97 inches were recorded. Measurable precipitation fell on 15 days with the greatest amount of 1.29 inches, falling on the 3rd.

The nearly 5 inches of precipitation could have produced nearly 50 inches of snow. However, some of it fell as rain and only 20.5 inches of snow was measured - 3.3 inches above normal.

Our seasonal snowfall total is also 20.5 inches as none fell in November.

The river reached its highest level of 5.47 feet on the 4th and its lowest level of 3.35 feet on the 22nd and the 23rd.

Bolton puts Indian Lake-Long Lake to the test Orange manages win and remains undefeated

By Lindsay Yandon lindsay@denpubs.com

Indian Lake-Long Lake 39 Bolton 36 BOLTON LANDING — Indian LakeLong Lake took an early lead in their Tuesday night contest against Bolton, and the game finished with a three point margin in favor of the Orange.

Indian Lake-Long Lake led 27-15 at the half, but the Eagles made an impressive 11-2 run in the third quarter to tighten the game. Each team scored 10 points apiece in the fourth quarter for the guests to come away with the win.

The Orange remain undefeated and the team to beat in the MVAC and beyond with an overall record of 9-0.

Kris Bain put up 18 points to help Indian Lake-Long Lake gain the edge.

Zack Mitchell sunk 12 points in the win, while Matt Rausch added six points and Jordan Wallace finished with three points for the Orange.

“I am pretty impressed that we were able to hold them to 36 points on their own court,” said Orange head coach, Jim Zulo.

Dom Pfau's 18 points, including three three-pointers paced Bolton. The Eagles made a few final free-throw attempts in the closing minutes, but couldn't catch up.

Indian Lake-Long Lake’s Matt Rausch goes to the line against Bolton on Tuesday. The Orange pulled out a close win over the Eagles despite missing a total of 13 free-throw attempts.

Free-throw attempts were not as successful, however, for the Orange. They missed 13 attempts from the line and gave the Eagles an opportunity to gain some ground.

Zulo was please with the overall performance. “They played well man to man and it was hard for us to get open,” he said. “And we didn’t react well to

the pressure.”

Bolton was the first of three consecutive away games for the Orange.

“This is a hard road trip for us and we are happy to get this game out of the way.”

The Orange will face Crown Point and Chazy later this week.

Lucky deer. At least so far ...

The user fee debate continues Tourism remains the largest worldwide industry and ecotourism represents the fastest growing segment of this market. Every year, millions of tourists travel to destinations designated as Protected Areas to enjoy opportunities for nature-based recreation. Such locations may offer a model for the Adirondacks in terms of sustainable tourism.

Despite the fact that such Protected Areas often supply the most important elements of these recreational experiences, the parks typically capture very little of the total economic benefits derived from ecotourism.

In order to sustain the economic viability of these unique regions, many PA’s have established entrance fees, user fees and travel permits to provide a funding source to invest in the necessary infrastructure to guarantee continued protection of the lands and waters.

In Nepal, the Sagarmatha National Park, home to Mt. Everest, requires 30 percent of the money collected from mountaineering expeditions to be re-invested into the protection of the park. Mountaineering fees average about $50,000 per expedition and with an average of 5 expeditions per year, the system generates an estimated $400-500,000 annually to help conserve the park.

In Equador, the Galapagos National Park finances a major portion of its budget by charging a substantial entry fee of $100 per visitor. With over 60,000 visitors annually, the fees provide an investment of over $5 million a year.

Bonaire, a small island in the Southern Caribbean, instituted a scuba diving fee system, collected through the dive operators, to provide funding for the management of the park. The income generated through the sale of the diver badges covers salaries and operational costs of the park.

Since 1994, Congress has permitted federal agencies to collect “user fees” on public lands. Numerous western states, including California, Colorado, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Utah followed suit and instituted similar programs.

In the Adirondacks, the concept of user fees remains extremely complicated due to fact that there are no gateway entry points. There are no tollbooths.

However, there are unlimited points of access to public lands. The collection of fees through traditional venues would require a huge investment in infrastructure and patrols. The most feasible method of collecting a fee would be to establish a visible badge, patch or sticker that outdoor travelers would be required to display when visiting public lands.

Speaking before Congress on the issue of user fees on public lands, Mr. Derrick Crandall, president of the American Recreation Coalition, detailed five essential criteria that must be incorporated in the development of user fees.

1. The fees need to be equitable 2. The fee system needs to be efficient 3. The fees need to be convenient for the recreationist 4. The fee system needs to be coherent, flexible and integrated 5. The fee revenues need to be returned to benefit the resources, facilities and programs utilized by those paying the bill.

Backcountry Badges could be purchased through local sport shops, stores, outfitters, tourist bureaus or online. For enforcement purposes, Forest Rangers would have the option of issuing badges on the spot, rather than issue tickets for non-compliance.

The badges could be incorporated into the annual fees paid for boat or vehicle registration, sporting licenses and discounts could be provided for school age children, local residents, veterans, seniors and other deserving citizens.

The visible display of a badge, or a sticker on a canoe, bike, and backpack would encourage compliance, and enforcement would be easy to accomplish for patrols.

If all travelers were required to contribute, it would potentially eliminate the “us vs. them” issue that currently exists among the various user groups.

Regardless of the process of implementing such a fee, the concept would only succeed if state provided a foolproof, ironclad guarantee (read: politician free) that all funds collected would only be utilized for conservation projects within the park.

and canoers. They do all of it for free.”

LPS wrote “I think your article started out on the right track. Research. The state and towns along with the travel industry in New York are very lacks in investing in information gathering. The real challenge is developing relevant questions without bias. And assuring all interests are invited to provide input. But who can lead such an effort? How to fund it?

My fear of adding a fee is that the rich will be able to access the prime locations while access for the regular guy and yes even the disadvantaged will continue to dwindle. Just look at access to so many lakes. Real estate has taken access away from so many people. It has taken access from both locals and visitors as older family run accommodations are sold.

Now you're wondering if user fees for state land are a good idea. When I consider to whom the fees would be paid and who would administer that money I cannot believe much if any good would come from it.”

KG wrote, “The state wants money because the state wastes money. The state spends money politically (where the most voters are). That's just part of why the state is in such lousy fiscal shape. They're grubbing for bucks any way they can.

If they do spend money up here it will probably be to buy more land and take that land out of production for the people who make their living on the land. As the last few years have shown, tourism is not enough. We need diversity and it's there in the woods and has been historically.”

AB wrote, “I like the idea of spending our tax dollars on the management of our public lands to enhance the nourishment of the human body, mind and spirit. Undeveloped recreation on public lands is much like education in our public schools. We don't charge kids to go to school and we should not charge citizens to visit public lands.”

CB wrote, “Imagine how silly it sounds that I should be required to buy licenses to hunt, fish and trap my own land that I already pay ridiculous taxes on. How silly is it that hikers and bikers use the state lands for free while doing untold damage and requiring additional costs for search and rescue, trail head maintenance, plowing, etc.

In short, it's time for those who make use of state lands for free to start ponying up some bucks.”

BG wrote, “Being a hunter for 35 years and paying thousands of dollars for hunting licenses, as with all hunters, the time to share the wealth, must include all visitors. A fee is completely fair and beneficial to the preservation of this beautiful park.”

VE wrote, “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.”

Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

Lake Champlain Fishing Regulations

T

he winter of 2009-10 is now officially five weeks old and I’m pleased to say I think the deer have had it fairly easy so far.

I did a little post-season scouting the other day and found deer to still be in their natural patterns — moving around freely and feeding with little trouble. I saw no real signs of yarding yet and even some late season breeding activity. Hope the mild weather keeps up for at least a few more weeks.

In the meantime, I’ve been out on the ice probably a dozen times and have to say I haven’t personally seen the treacherous ice conditions the U.S. Coast Guard and other agencies have warned about.

In fact, conditions are not at all unlike the past few years.

That’s not to say dangerous ice doesn’t exist, I am just saying ice fishing opportunities are out there for those who use their heads. I’ve seen upward of two feet of ice on some of the smaller ponds already, and popular fishing destinations like Lake Eaton, Long Lake, Raquette Lake, Indian Lake, Blue Mountain Lake, Eagle Lake, Paradox Lake, Brant Lake and most of Schroon Lake all hold fishable ice.

Many of the bays on Lake George and southern Lake Champlain are also buttoned up — with about a foot of good black ice on Port Henry’s Bulwagga Bay. Obviously, these conditions change daily, so be sure and call a local bait shop before planning a trip.

Ice fishing derbies on tap There are a number of fishing tournaments upcoming.

The Great Sacandaga Lake Fisheries Federation Tournament is today, Jan. 23, from 7 a.m.-4 p.m. with $1,500 in prizes. Also, today is the Dunham’s Bay Fish & Game Club’s annual Stanley Yurgatis family fishing derby on Glen Lake.

Perhaps the region’s largest derby — the Tupper Lake Challenge — will take place this year Feb. 6 on Simon Pond just south of the village of Tupper Lake. This is a $30,000 tournament and attracts hundreds of anglers. For more information, call 359-9715.

The Bolton Classic, sponsored by the Glens Falls Kiwanis Club and the Chinga-Classic, Camp Chingachgook’s annual fund-raising derby, take place on Lake George the weekend of Feb. 20-21.

The Bolton Classic is a one-day derby on Saturday, Feb. 20, at Veteran’s Memorial Park in Bolton. Call 743-1116 for more information. The Chinga-Classic is a lake trout and salmon derby headquartered at the camp at the end of Pilot Knob Road off State Route 9L. Fishing takes place from 7 a.m.-4 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday. Call 656-9426 for more information or visit www.chingachgook.org.

The season wraps up with the Hague Fish and Game Club’s annual ice fishing tournament the weekend of Feb. 27-28 and the Schroon Lake Fish and Game Club tournament March 6 and 7.

The Hague event features daily blind prizes as well as a giveaway of a Strikemaster auger, a Cold-Snap park and bib and a Clam fishing shelter. Call 543-6542 for more information or visit www.haguefishandgame.com.

The Schroon Lake derby has also grown into one of the region’s largest with cash payouts in three categories and daily giveaways. Call Bunny Suprenant at 532-7685 for more information.

John Gereau is managing editor of Denton Publications and an avid outdoorsman. He can be reached at johng@denpubs.com.

Feedback on Fees I have encouraged readers to provide feedback on this issue and you have responded in kind, though not always with kindness. Here is a sampling.

JG wrote: “Why is it that every time there is a increase in license fees the state overlooks the hikers? Shouldn't the people who use the trails and trail head parking pay?

Wouldn't a hiking license along with a parking permit go a long way in covering the states property taxes? Shouldn't the day of the free ride be over?

AN wrote” We spend a lot of money just so the foolish hikers can get to the High Peaks. Let them start paying their own way...by charging all hikers a yearly fee and charge them when we have to send in the troops to save their ##$@% and bring them off the mountain tops. Patterson could make millions by charging hikers, bikers, kayakers

In an exciting flurry of teamwork, Mike and Dylon Springer, of Queensbury, pulled in the winning fish in the children’s 12 and under category with a 4-lb, 11-oz trout at last year’s Chinga-Classic derby.
