newsenterprise@denpubs.com JOHNSBURG — Town leaders are discussing possible changes to the town Planning Board in an effort to more consistently have a quorum to conduct business, according to Johnsburg Supervisor Ron Vanselow.

The Planning Board, when fully

staffed, has seven volunteer members. There are two vacancies on the board now. To have a quorum and conduct business at any given meeting, four members need to be present. There have been times in recent months, Vanselow said, where there weren’t sufficient numbers present to be able to conduct business.

Town leaders have had informal discussions about reducing the size of the Planning Board from seven

“It’s not a huge issue,” he said.

“Legally, it’s possible to go from seven to five,” Vanselow said. “With a five-member board you only need three for a quorum.”

Vanselow described the discussions regarding the size of the Planning Board as more of a philosophical conversation. Town leaders must decide if a smaller board offers any advantages in achieving a quorum.

NORTH CREEK — School board meetings are not held to dispense discouraging news, all evidence of the last several years notwithstanding. Even the genial budget workshop held Feb. 13 by the Johnsburg Central School District Board belied uncomfortable uncertainties.

Board members and district staff use workshops to reacquaint themselves and the community with how and why tax revenue is used in schools, but also to create a context into which spending justifications can be poured. And here's the context for Johnsburg's 2012-'13 budget: Any number of items could push the district hard into the state-mandated 2 percent property-tax cap.

Take, for example, the district's health insurance bill.

Superintendent Michael Markwica had preliminarily budgeted a 9 percent rise in the premium it pays Empire BlueCross BlueShield. Now it looks like Empire will increase its fees between 11 and 15 percent. A final figure will not be known until March.

An 11 percent increase will create a budget gap of about $200,000, a 15 percent rise will mean a $300,000 gap, said Markwica. Johnsburg's participation in a 31district self-insurance consortium had, until recently,

Business classes could boost Gore Region economy andy@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — Jim Murphy’s job of boosting economic development in the Adirondack region leads him to all 14 counties in the North Country, and he made a stop here in Warren County last week to offer special assistance for small business owners and budding entrepreneurs.

In the summer of 2011, Murphy left his position as economic developer of the village of Potsdam to become the new executive director of the Adirondack Economic Development Corp. (AEDC), based in Saranac Lake. And he’s spending a lot of time on the road promoting his organization’s small business education and loan programs.

“We’re in a lot of places, and we focus on two main things — we do small business lending and small business training, and they go hand-in-hand pretty well,” Murphy said.

Murphy met with members of the North Creek Business Alliance Thursday, Feb. 9 at barVino to see if there was any interest in holding a 12-week Entrepreneurial Assistance Program course in North Creek. And based on the initial reaction from Alliance members — including the Gore Mountain Regional Chamber of Commerce — an AEDC class may be coming to town soon.

Throughout the course, participants will learn the basics of small business — including financing, marketing and sales — and will write a business plan. At the end of the course, they will have the opportunity to use their business plans to apply for a loan with the AEDC. “When I first got started in business, I thought that the biggest thing that businesses needed was cash. If you had just a bag of cash, everybody would be fine,” Murphy said.

“What I find, though, is people need help as well, they need answers. And so we’re trying to do both, and hopefully we

give you the answers before we give you the cash.”

Founded in 1984 as a nonprofit corporation, the AEDC is a U.S. Small Business Administration-certified lender and microloan intermediary. That means they borrow money from the government and re-lend it to small businesses in

the form of low-interest loans. While the range of loans is wide, the AEDC typically handles lending amounts of $10,000-$40,000, according to Murphy.

“The difference between us and bank financing is access.

It’s real hard for startups to get any kind of financing,” Murphy said. “So we do startups all the time. Our goal is to start businesses.”

Loan money can be used for a variety of business needs, including working capital, inventory, fixtures and equipment.

AEDC’s mission goes beyond teaching and lending; staff members create an ongoing relationship with their clients to see how they are growing and what their needs are throughout the years.

“We try to develop a partnership over time,” Murphy said.

“What I love to do is set you up, get you started and, at the end of the day, work on your succession plan when you’re ready to retire. That’s the kind of relationship I would love to see.”

Murphy had encouraging words to say about the Business Alliance and the potential for economic development success in North Creek.

“The key to any successful revitalization is having a core group of people willing to make the commitment to do it, and it’s great to see it because you guys have overcome the biggest hurdle, which is organizing yourselves and I’m really impressed by the numbers and the type of people that are here,” Murphy said.

Murphy was introduced at the meeting by Business Alliance co-chair Joel Beaudin, managing member of The Copperfield and member of the AEDC Board of Directors.

For more information about the AEDC, call (518) 891-5523.

The North Creek Business Alliance meets from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. every Thursday at barVino.

Village Shops at North Creek now called ‘The Exchange’ andy@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — The soon-to-open retail space at the old Mountain and Boardertown ski shop has a new name ... again.

After naming the store Village Shops at North Creek a couple of weeks ago, Iowa Pacific Holdings Special Events Director Debra Goodman announced last week that the new name will be “The Exchange.”

Speaking at the North Creek Business Alliance meeting Feb. 9, Goodman said that, after some market research, she found that the original name was too bulky. It had too many words. The Exchange is better, she said, because it is easier to remember and it is reflective of the variety of locally produced items, “an exchange of talents, skills and arts.”

The Exchange at North Creek will be operated by a store manager and staff independent from Iowa Pacific Holdings, the company that operates the Saratoga-North

Calls for action answered in North Creek

W

hile many Adirondack residents look to their elected officials to create economic development and improve the quality of life in their hometowns, it’s great to see that North Creek is buzzing with projects from the ground up.

Grassroots organizations like the North Creek Business Alliance are galvanizing the business community and making a difference. During their weekly meetings, special guests give updates on matters important to residents.

Thanks to Joel Beaudin’s membership on the Adirondack Economic Development Corporation’s (AEDC) Board of Directors, the AEDC executive director — Jim Murphy — was in town last week asking the business community if there was interest in a 12-week Entrepreneurial Assistance Program course that would teach business basics and help entrepreneurs obtain low-interest loans.

The overall feeling was, “Yes, we’d love it ... and it should be here in North Creek.” This is the kind of support small business owners need. And it’s not coming from the government.

While Steven Ovitt was a Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) forest ranger, he made the Thirteenth Lake to North Creek Trail System a special project, developing a 30-mile trail network for the North Creek region, for residents and visitors. This wasn’t a priority for the state; Ovitt and volunteers from the Siamese Ponds Trail Improvement Society made it happen. And now there’s a year-round trail system just waiting for the world to discover. And they are discovering it and coming to the region in the process. It will help tourism. It will help our economy.

We’re not saying that government doesn’t help our communities; we’re saying it doesn’t have the resources to solve all our problems. It’s only a piece of the problem-solving puzzle. It’s volunteers and business owners who fill in those gaps.

In fact, we need government. We need the town of Johnsburg to help with projects like the North Creek streetscape.

We need the Adirondack Park Agency to approve projects like the Ski Bowl, Front Street and communications tow-

ers. We need the DEC to maintain our state-owned backcountry. And we need the Town Board and Planning Board to do what’s best for our community, looking out for residential and business interests.

As such, there is a currently a need for more volunteers. In this paper alone, there are multiple calls for members of various boards, and we urge people to help out.

Love is in the air ... but what is love?

I

t is February. We can’t avoid the red heart-shaped candy boxes displayed in the stores signifying Valentine’s Day, the day that celebrates love. But what, exactly, is love?

Hallmark would have us believe that love is shown by sending a card. Teleflora would advocate purchasing a dozen red roses, and television jewelry store ads whisper, “He went to Jared.”

Aside from the commercial aspect of the day, love has been commemorated in song, poetry and prose. Some say, “Love is a river that drowns the tender reed.” Or is love “A flower and you the only seed?” Awhile back, some folks declared that “Love is never having to say you’re sorry.” I don’t think so!

When our son was a year old, friends of ours separated and the Dad sent his two youngest kids to Long Island to live with us for the school year. They were a brother and sister ages 6 and 8. It was an adjustment for

me, as a relatively new mom, to suddenly be caring for three. I taped a little sign inside the kitchen cupboard door. It read, “Love is patient and kind.” Every time I opened the cupboard to get out the dinner plates I saw that sign. This is what I think of when I think about love.

After Valentine’s Day is past, the cards are put away, the candy eaten and the roses dried and shriveled, let’s open up the cupboard door to our heart and remember that, above all, LOVE IS PATIENT AND KIND.

Letters to the Editor Comments on publisher’s column

There’s another Internet choice

Dear Mr. Alexander, After reading your piece on the first ammendment, which I agree with, a glaring reality was staring me in the face.

Your whole essay discusses government actions that are grossly illegal and unconstitutional. You seam to stick to your argument, while ignoring these abuses to our Constitution, abuses that suggest to the reader the fact that the first ammendment might not even be in effect any more than the other ammendments. That being the case, then what is the point?

The health care law is unconstitutional because it violates the 10th ammendment. So instead of discussing which parts of it are unfair, why not some outrage that it was passed at all and assaults our Bill of Rights?

Congress has passed legislation that neutralizes every ammendment except the first. Their daly activities in Washington make a mockery of our constitution. You don't mention that mandates are not laws and therefore have no power under law. Or that it is unlawful for Congress to delegate their responsibility of passing laws to any other body.

You mention freedoms we have come to take for granted. Most of them no longer exist, and will remain lost to us until and unless we insist that Congress follow the constitution literally. When you take something for granted, it is not noticed when it is no longer there.

The Constitution does not provide for health care and should not.

I had far better health care 40 years ago than I do now BECAUSE of government intrusion at the bequest of drug and insurance companies and it will be worse, and rationed, under Obamacare. The point you make in your essay is valid but it is a wart on the elephant of Constitutional abuse.

If you truly wish to protect the first ammendment, (and you can't save one unless you save them all) then you need to familiarize yourself with the document that bestows those rights we take for granted.

When your working knowledge of the Constitution is such that any time government tries to bypass it, you immediately lash out in your opinion column to its defense, then your paper becomes the type of PRESS that was granted freedom in the first ammendment, the very press Jefferson and Madison had in mind.

Remember, if we lose our Constitution, and we are closer to that happening than you think, then we have no recourse to the governmental abuse and unfairness your essay talks about. I do not think they would boldly declare it null and void, but it might quietly be moved from the National Archives to the Smithsonian. Think about it.

Jeff MacMakin Putnam

To the News Enterprise: Regarding the Feb. 4 editorial about broadband access in the Adirondacks, you probably have already heard this but there is another option. I am sending this from Paradox Lake via Verizon Wireless.

Using an iphone hotspot along with a wireless booster equipped with a roof antenna we are getting 1 mb/sec download speeds. Previously we only had dial up access.

Expanding cell service in the Adirondacks might be the answer.

To Verizon and others there may be a business case to provide both voice and data by expanding their coverage. I know the APA wouldn't care for this but the time has come to allow these necessary services.

Jim Hartnett Paradox

Meal sites are important To the News Enterprise: I am writing in response to the Post Star ’s editorial of Feb. 10, advocating the closing of area Senior Meal Sites in favor of preparing meals in a single kitchen and delivering them to the outlying areas.

The editorial cited monetary savings as its logic behind the move.

There is more involved here than money. The individual meal sites are places where people gather for community — to see their friends, sit down at table and exchange in conversation.

The North Creek meal site hosts a senior bridge group who meet each Friday from 10 – 2. At noon they take a break to enjoy the prepared lunch and the company of others. The price of lunch is reasonable, $3 for a hot, nutritious meal.

Many of the diners are people who live alone, widows and widowers, who might not choose to cook a hot meal for themselves and eat alone. Several are in their 80s or even 90s.

When you enter the meal site, you are greeted by the friendly faces of the workers and the volunteers who deliver meals on wheels.

Good smells emanate from the warm kitchen. Serving is done cafeteria style, and the able-bodied carry trays of food back to the table.

I repeat, the meal site provides a service that is outside the realm of money alone. It is an important gathering place where friends can meet each day and break bread together.

Hester's History (cont.)

My mother was just as kind and helpful in entertaining the Christian workers and christian ministers. I recall as I was growing up, how different ones would come to my mother's and father's home for a Sunday dinner, after a morning service at church; and the table would be spread with a nice white tablecloth.

A nice big chocolate layer cake was set on the table, also individual dishes of canned berries or preserves of some sort, maybe crabapple sauce with plenty of sweetening and seasoned with cloves. I don't even remember what stable foods were included; but to my childhood mind, the two- or three-layer cake with chocolate frosting.

The little individual glass dishes of nice cooked berries, were the items that impressed me the most. One time little Gertrude Dyer said that when she or her people got rich she would have chocolate cake. God Bless the memory of those dear people.

Enjoy each and every day.

Not your average kid: Mueller chasing big-time championships

By T.J. Ingerson

Courtesy of www.vtmotormag.com (This article was first published on the Vermont Motorsports Magazine website, www.vtmotormag.com. It is reprinted with their permission.)

OLMSTEDVILLE —Think back to the time when you were seventeen-years-old. Many memories were made during that time. Movies with friends, chasing that crush, attending parties, and working a night and weekend job might be some of the activities that come to mind. And Jessey Mueller is not unlike any other seventeen year old in that aspect.

"I try to fit that in somewhere," jokes Mueller.

But Mueller is a race winning NASCAR Modified driver, and has his sights set on winning top tiered Modified division championships. Not many seventeen-year-old kids can say that.

As a rookie last year, Mueller made Albany-Saratoga Speedway in Malta, N.Y., and Devil's Bowl Speedway in West Haven, Vt., his home. Mueller had success, recording one win, ten top five finishes, and 15 top ten finishes in 18 starts between both tracks, while finishing second in the season point standings in the NASCAR Modified division at Devil's Bowl. Mueller also attended the season finale at Airborne Speedway in Plattsburgh, N.Y., and won the Sportsman Modified division feature.

A new season will bring new challenges to Mueller, however, as he will make Devil's Bowl Speedway one of his homes in 2012, racing his 602 crate engine Sportsman Modified in Devil's Bowl's unique 602 versus 358 NASCAR Modified division. Mueller will also make the jump to the DIRTcar 358-Modified division at Airborne Speedway, both which will be relatively new to him. That newness, however, doesn't waive the young driver's confidence.

"We expect to win right away [at Airborne]," a confident Mueller said. "I feel we have a pretty good setup and should be able to compete right away against [front running drivers] Patrick [Dupree] and George [Foley]. I've been around Pat and his Moody racing team and feel our program is comparable to theirs. I feel we're going to be able to make it happen. And if we're not competitive, we'll do what we have to do to be competitive."

Mueller finished runner-up in the season standings at Devil's Bowl to veteran racer Ron Proctor. Over the course of the 2011 season, Proctor offered advice to Mueller. That advice, Mueller feels, made him a better racer.

"On the track, I was a competitor of Ron's, but off the track,

we were friends and we always talked about how I could improve," said Mueller. "I'm not a professional driver, so I'll take advice from everyone; I'll listen and learn. Not many people will listen. Maybe some of the things I'm told don't work or isn't right, but I'll still listen and get something out of it."

The ultimate goal for Mueller would be to win the respected division championships at both Airborne and Devil's Bowl. Mueller, however, wants to win one just a bit more than the other.

"I want to go to Charlotte," Mueller said, referring to the trip to Charlotte, N.C., for the NASCAR Awards Banquet.

"The Devil's Bowl championship is the big one to us."

Mueller will race his '602' Chevrolet crate engine Modified against the famed 358-engine Modifieds. Mueller test-

Winterfest Mardi Gras set for this weekend in Indian Lake INDIAN LAKE — Indian Lake will host the 27th Annual Winterfest Mardi Gras from Feb. 17 to 19.

This fun-packed weekend will begin on Friday afternoon with a Mardi Gras Parade. The parade will feature many Mardi Gras themed floats, with winners announced after the parade. The parade starts at the Town Hall and finishes in the market parking lot. Float entry forms are available at the Town Hall and the Chamber of Commerce.

On Friday evening, the Junior Girl Scout Troop 3295 will be sponsoring a Pasta Dinner at the American Legion starting at 5 p.m., and the Indian Lake Theater will be showing a movie at 7:30 p.m.

On Saturday, breakfast will be served at the Indian Lake Fire Hall, served up by the firemen and auxiliary ladies of Indian Lake’s Volunteer Fire Dept from 7 to 10 a.m. It will be repeated on Sunday morning from 7 to 10.

Saturday will also see the Snowarriors Annual Poker Run, Chamber of Commerce Craft Fair, and the Friends of the Library Book & Cookie Sale, and a Roast Beef Din-

Streetscape from page 1 so the plan is still developing,” Vanselow said.

All told, the town will have about $300,000 to work with, half coming from the state and half from the town.

Vanselow stressed that some or all of the town’s contribution may be in the form of “in kind” services such as labor, materials and equipment.

“It’s a matching grant,” Vanselow said, which means the town’s matching contribution doesn’t have to be money.

“We can leverage our part

ner at the United Methodist Church. The Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts will host a Student Artist Gallery Reception and Dance Party, starting at 5 p.m.

A new event for Sunday will be the Make Your Own Sled Races on the sliding slope; this event will take place at 3 p.m. There will be games for the grade school aged kids at the ski hut starting at 1 p.m.

Marty’s Chili Nights will again this year host the timed Jalapeño Eating Contest.

And if you missed the Craft Fair on Saturday you will have the opportunity to check it out on Sunday.

To wrap up the weekend, there will be the Bon Fire, at the Ski Hut, and the Torch Run and fireworks on Tower Hill starting at 6:30 p.m.

Indian Lake offers free skating, skiing, snowboarding and sliding all weekend and during President’s Week, weather permitting, from noon to 4 p.m. and 6 to 9 p.m.

For more information call (5180 648-5828 or (518) 648-5112 or visit online at www.indian-lake.com for complete event listings and times.

with labor and other resources,” he added.

A committee consisting of Mike Bowers, Laurie Arnheiter, Tom Suozzo and Joel Beaudin will work with town officials and Wayne La Mothe of Warren County to come up with a plan and help bring it to fruition. A timetable for starting and completing the project is still being considered.

“We need to look at a lot of different things,” he said.

“Handicapped accessibility, water turn-ons, other things, we need to look at all that.”

The area to be improved runs along Main Street roughly from the train sta-

tion to the intersection of Main Street and state Route 28N, just north of Town Hall. Vanselow said input and suggestions from all residents are welcome and encouraged, not only for this project, but also for similar efforts he’d like to see in other parts of the town.

“We’re always looking for similar opportunities in other parts of town,” Vanselow said. He urged residents to come forward with ideas for other parts of Johnsburg.

The town is open to the idea of seeking grants to enhance all areas of the town, Vanselow said. “It’s not just North Creek.”

ed the concept for new track owner Mike Bruno in October, and walked away from the test feeling confident, albeit having less horsepower than the 358 engine.

"We feel we'll have an advantage [with the 602]," Mueller said. "During the test, we were really close time wise, just a tenth or two tenths of a second off. They've slowed down the 358's a bit more [in the 2012 rules]. I don't think we'll have that big of an advantage, but I feel we'll have an advantage.

And we're spending less money. We can take that money and spend it in other places in the car. I'm hoping that's where we'll be able to beat them."

The 2012 season for Mueller will begin on Sunday, April 29 at Airborne Speedway for the season opening Econo Lodge 50. The Devil's Bowl Speedway season will begin on Sunday, May 6.

The next School Board meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 27. Budget approval by board members is tentatively set for April 16. A public hearing on the budget will be held on May 7, and the vote will be on May 15.

This show promises to delight audiences with Johnson’s unique approach to hypnotism. Johnson starts the show by dispelling the myths about hypnosis, alleviates the fears of the audience and then the fun begins. Johnson assures folks no one will be embarrassed, everyone will have a great time and applaud for their friends and family because they will be amazed at what unfolds on stage.

As the ringmaster, Johnson leads participating audience members on a journey into new characters, comic situations and unusual environments. Whether Johnson performs his Murder by Magic, or his Mind-Reading program count on him to plug into the community and figure out how to garner the most laughs.

Johnson admits he prefers to have an audience of at least fifty to have the most effective hypnosis program.

“Not everyone can let down their guard to go into the trance state,” he said. “There needs to be a sizeable enough audience to engage enough people to join me on the stage.”

Johnson’s talent includes performing as a comedy magician, illusionist, mind reader, mentalist and even a psychic street magician. No matter what size the audience he promises a special performance for Long Lake.

This program is sponsored by the Town of Long Lake Parks, Recreation and Tourism Department.

Scouting is about giving back

By John Grybos

jgrybos@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — Community service encourages more community service for the North Creek Boy Scout troop, whose Eagle Scouts have shown their appreciation for the volunteer firefighters that watch over their hamlets.

Scouts pursuing the vaunted Eagle Scout title have gone to the North River firehouse to help build a meeting room, fixed up some railing and tile at the North Creek firehouse and installed a double-sided sign in Minerva with space for a changeable message.

The troop's current Eagle nominee is installing another changeable sign at the Wevertown firehouse.

It isn't all firefighter appreciation, though. Tara Sears, who with Paul Sears relaunched the local Scouts program in 1997 with a Cub Scout troop, said the Scouts help all around the community.

They've installed a perennial garden at the Adirondack Tri-County facility. They've helped move books at the library. They've collected food for the food pantry for Thanksgiving meals.

They've worked at the community fitness trail around Johnsburg Central School.

Scouts installed a culvert at a swampy section along the Carol Thomas Memorial Trail from the library to Ski Bowl Park and built benches there with solar lights for people to enjoy.

“Whatever's needed, wherever the community needs help,” said Sears.

When a scout's up for Eagle nomination, he finds a non-profit or community organization, identifies a need there and then he raises money to fund the project before putting in the work hours.

Sears restarted the Boy Scouts program locally in 2000 after they reopened Cub Scouts in 1997 when the enrollees were getting old enough to move on. The local program was once called the Johnsburg Boy Scouts, but new version is North Creek.

They currently have six boy scouts, ranging from sixth-graders to the eldest scout who will turn 18 in April. They've even hosted scouts from Ticonderoga and Whitehall, until those scouts had large enough numbers to open their own troops this January. More locally, they've had scouts from Minerva and Indian Lake in their group.

The program relaunched by Sears yielded the first Eagle Scout in the town in 20 years, and they're turning out Eagle Scouts rapidly, 8 since 2007.

The current Eagle Scout candidate is from a family that got involved when the Sears relaunched the Cub Scouts in 1997. Though she said it’s gratifying to watch the boys grow up in the Scouts, the Sears are ready to retire from the Boy Scouts, though they'll still work with the Cub Scouts.

They're always looking for more help and need volunteers. Those interested in being involved with the Scouts, young or not-so-young, can contact the Sears at 251-3954 or email sears@frontiernet.net.

Oil lamp stoves from Wevertown help tell Adirondack history

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com WEVERTOWN — Single-burner stoves are handy when camping and when the power goes out at home. What’s better? A combination oil lamp and stove, so you can cook and light the room at the same time. It’s portable and efficient. Perfect for the independently minded Adirondacker.

Exploring the Adirondack Museum’s storage areas, I stumbled upon a couple of oil lamp stoves in the lamp section of the artifact collection. They reminded me of backpacking camp stoves but taller. Mrs. John Davidson, of the Warren County hamlet of Wevertown, donated the objects to the museum in December 1959. They are artifacts No. 1959.24.1 and 1959.24.2 in the collection.

Both of the lamp stoves have similar features: a vessel at the base to hold the oil, hardware to control the flow of oil, a burner inside a metal lantern chimney with a mica window, a handle on the back, and a single metal burner on top to hold a pot or a pan.

One of the lamp stoves (1959.24.1) features a red-painted round base to hold the oil. The reservoir is about 6 inches in diameter, and the object is about 9 inches tall. The handle to raise and lower the wick is missing. In addition to the mica window, it is constructed of tin, iron and nickel.

The other lamp stove (1959.24.2) features a black-painted rectangular oil reservoir,

These oil lamp stoves were used in Wevertown.

which is about 6 inches wide and 4 inches deep. The object is about 9.5 inches tall. The burner and knob are made of brass, and the rest is made of tin, iron and nickel. The company’s name, “Florence,” is painted on the front, with gold and black lettering on a decorative red-painted background.

Based on my research so far, I can’t tell

Skate & Game night held at ILCS INDIAN LAKE — The Indian Lake Central School PTSO held their annual family Event called Skate & Game Night on Friday, Feb. 3.

This event was designed to encourage parents to come out with their children and enjoy an evening of games, ice skating, and refreshments with other families from our community. The PTSO was very pleased with the attendance, there were over 60 kids, young and old, playing together.

Skating was by far the most popular event. There were some very young skaters in the group using chairs to assist them around the rink, while approximately 10 brave adults threw their skates on and joined a fun game of tag with about 35 kids.

The few who spent their time inside grabbed some refreshments and visited with other parents and some even enjoyed a board game or two. Some toddlers watched the movie “Happy Feet” while playing together on the floor.

The PTSO provided hot and cold beverages to go along with the many snacks and treats that were generously donated by

which company manufactured the “Florence” oil lamp stove. Was it the Florence Stove Company or the Florence Machine Company, of Florence, Mass.? Was it the Central Oil & Gas Stove Company, of Gardner, Mass., which made “Florence” oil cook stoves? Or was it another company? I’m just not sure.

The Florence Stove Company was founded in the 1870s in Florence, Mass. and made wood-burning stoves. It took over the George D. Roper Corp. in 1957 and moved its operations from Massachusetts to Illinois. By 1958, the company name was changed to the George D. Roper Corp., making appliances for companies such as Sears, Roebuck & Co., which owned part of the corporation. The George D. Roper Corp. then merged with the Sears subsidiary of Newark Ohio Co. in 1964 and changed its name in 1968 to the Roper Corporation. General Electric then bought the company’s stove and lawn equipment divisions in the late 1980s.

The Florence Machine Company, known in

the mid-1800s as the Florence Sewing Machine Company, made sewing machines and oil stoves and was in business from the early 1880s until the early 1890s. The company printed Victorian trading cards, some with split-screen color illustrations of a woman cooking on a woodstove on the left (sitting, wiping her brow, near an open window, and a thermometer soar- ing on a nearby wall) and a woman cooking on a Florence Oil Stove on the right (smiling, standing, playing with her children, with the thermometer showing a much cooler temperature on the wall).

The Central Oil & Gas Stove Company advertised its Florence oil cook stoves with colorful illustrations and photographs and persuasive text. A 1918 full-page ad, for example, shows a mother in the kitchen cooking on the stove while her son is running into the room with an empty plate (the father and a daughter are seen in the dining room waiting for their meal). The headline reads: “Breakfast in Fifteen Minutes / A Cool Kitchen All Day.” It had a resounding message for women: “This summer escape the penalty of working in a torrid kitchen. The extra work that summer brings every housekeeper, should be done with utmost economy of energy.”

That’s right, no lugging around firewood for a woodstove. The oil stoves were seemingly effortless. “Automatic” was the word used in the ad. This kerosene-burning stove could give the cook a high flame for intense heat or a small flame for simmering. Try doing that easily with a woodstove.

For the purpose of this story, it doesn’t really matter which companies manufactured the oil lamp stoves at hand.

It’s more important that these objects open the way to a discussion about smaller camp stoves, lanterns, combination stoves, and the full-bodied range cook stoves found in kitchens. It leads us to explore the history of the cook stove and its transition from wood to oil, gas and electric, including microwave ovens.

It makes me wonder, “Where do we go from here?”

PTSO and the families that participated.

This event is just one of the many events PTSO holds throughout the year. The PTSO’s mission is to help build a stronger relationship between our school and community.

Organizers want to thank everyone who came out to share the evening with them and ask for the community’s continued support.

Former forest ranger promotes trail system 13th Lake to North Creek Trail System offers much for residents, visitors

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — Now that Steven Ovitt is retired from the ranks of the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) forest rangers, he is busier than ever with his new business venture — Wilderness Property Management — and with promoting the Thirteenth Lake to North Creek Trail System.

Ovitt, of Wevertown, and another member of the Siamese Ponds Trail Improvement Society — Rick Morse, of The Glen — gave a presentation to the North Creek Business Alliance Feb. 9, showing them a map and explaining the recreational benefits of the trail system that Ovitt developed as a forest ranger for this region.

“This is something North Creek has and should be promoted,” Morse said. “You can start in North Creek at the Ski Bowl, and you can walk fantastic trails in all directions. You can take a beautiful trail up along Roaring Brook by the reservoir to the top of Gore Mountain ... You can go to Garnet Hill Cross Country Ski Center. You can go to King’s Flow in Indian Lake ... It’s a huge trail system.”

A large map of the trail system was placed at the Johnsburg Town Hall after the Feb. 9 meeting. During the meeting, Morse and Ovitt tried to answer the question, “What does this mean for business owners in North Creek?”

“Why doesn’t North Creek have maps like this to hand out at the train station?” Morse said. “It’s a fantastic thing for people to be able to do here in the summer or during the winter.”

While a forest ranger, Ovitt started developing a plan for the trails in the 1990s.

“We went through the unit management planning process,” Ovitt said. “It took 10 years. I spent 10 years going to meetings and developing it, and then in 2004 we started to build it.”

As planning progressed, the challenge was to make the trail system family-friendly and something that would attract users.

They wanted it to be a destination.

“There were a lot of historic trails out there,” Ovitt said. “What was wrong with the system? There were no loops. There were only dead-ends everywhere.”

So they developed a system with a series of loops, including a loop around Thirteenth Lake. Ovitt and volunteers from the Siamese

Siamese Ponds Trail Improvement Society members Steven Ovitt (left) and Rick Morse hold a map of the new Thirteenth Lake to North Creek Trail System.

Ponds Trail Improvement Society were able to use 14 miles of old trails to create the existing network.

“The old stuff that was garbage got thrown out, and new stuff got put in,” Ovitt said.

With 16 miles of new trails, there are now 30 miles of multi-season recreational trails in the Thirteenth Lake to North Creek Trail System.

“There is over a week’s worth of backcountry skiing here,” Ovitt said. “There’s a week’s worth of hiking for a family if they’re coming to stay here. You can start right

here.”

Anyone interested in accessing the trail system can walk down to the North Creek train station and pick up the Carol A. Thomas Memorial Walking Trail), take it to the Ski Bowl, and walk from there to the top of Gore Mountain and back on a new, scenic trail along Roaring Brook. Or they can go all the way to Garnet Hill, then on to Siamese Ponds and King’s Flow.

“Most people don’t do the big stuff like that,” Ovitt said. “They do portions, two or three miles.

The trails can be used for hiking in the

summer and cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter. Some trails are better than others for certain recreational activities, and mountain biking is limited to small sections on state-owned Wild Forest land.

Biking is not allowed on state-owned wilderness land, such as the Siamese Ponds Wilderness Area, where a large portion of the trail system is located.

There is currently no written information on the trail system in guidebooks. Maps can be purchased for $2 at the Hudson River Trading Company.

Riparian Repairs R

ecent reports indicate Essex County recently received significant funding from a combination of state and federal sources to pay for the removal of debris, and the restoration of a many local river and stream corridors.

Fortunately, the Department of Transportation was quick to promptly repair the local highways following recent floods, however it is the waterways that attract a major portion of the region’s visitors. The tourism industry relies on an abundance of easily accessible, clean, fresh, free-flowing waters to attract anglers, paddlers, birders and other users.

The NYSDEC has already committed over $9 million towards the effort, and further funding is expected. Restoration efforts will focus on the removal of debris, which includes far more than just sticks and stones, as well as installation of weirs, dredging of rivers channels, riverbank plantings and the repair or replacement of several bridges.

It is astounding to realize the extent of the damage, and to discover the amount of material that must be removed from both the riverbeds, and the adjacent riverbanks.

While much of the debris consists of logs, rocks, roots and such, there is also a significant degree of manmade material ranging from washing machines to vinyl siding, tin roofs to tarmac. There are over 10,000 cubic yards of debris awaiting removal at just nine locations, for which funding has already been received.

When the river ice breaks up in the spring, I expect there will be more damage discovered, including large logjams, and significant sections of channels and riverbanks that will require restoration. Our abundance of clean, free flowing, freshwater is as important to Essex County’s tourism industry as the very mountains the waters flow out of.

Although the opening day of trout season remains over a month away, visiting anglers are already in the process of planning trips for the upcoming season. I have already fielded numerous inquiries regarding the condition of our local fisheries. Paddlers and anglers want to know what to expect, as well as what they can do. My advice is always, “Come see it for yourself.”

While the floods were certainly devastating, nature is restorative by nature. The land and the waters will gradually repair whatever damage has been done to the habitat.

Fish and furbearers such as beaver, otter and muskrat, will continue to exist, as birds including eagles, herons, and kingfishers return to their familiar haunts.

Despite the fact that two, 500 year floods ravaged the region in less than six months time, the waterways will quickly recover. Some swimming holes may have filled in, and certain river channels have been scoured, filled or

rerouted. But in the end, the majority of our rivers and streams will continue to flow, and only those who knew them well, will be able to recognize any difference.

Toubles far worse than a flood

Unfortunately, trouble far greater than a 500 year flood now loom over regional waters. Although the threat is natural, it was obviously made by man and it has the potential to drastically tip the balance and integrity of historic trout fisheries all across the Adirondacks.

Recently, NYSDEC fisheries biologists have discovered the presence of ‘crappie’ in Raquette Lake. Crappies, a non- native species, are now in the lake, and will eventually spread to the surrounding watershed. However, it is likely the damage will not be confined to a single lake, as the non-native species will be able to migrate upstream and downstream throughout the entire Raquette watershed. It’s only a matter of time before they become established in the Fulton Chain, Forked Lake, Long Lake, Tupper Lake and beyond.

DEC personnel believe the crappie were likely introduced by what has often been described as an amateur, ‘bait bucket biologist’. I prefer a more descriptive term, but it can’t be printed in a family newspaper. Whoever ’s responsible for introducing crappie into Raquette Lake should recognize that they may have unleashed the Adirondack’s most troublesome fish into the entire Raquette River watershed. It will be impossible to eradicate them.

Smallmouth bass were dumped into the same lake, back in the 1872. However, at the time, the person responsible for their introduction into Raquette Lake was Seth Greene, a fish culturist working for the NYS Fish Commission. A decade earlier, Gov. Horatio Seymour had instructed the Commission to begin stocking bass throughout the state, as trout fisheries were showing signs of depletion.

Greene was just doing as he was told. He harvested bass for stocking from the locks of the old Erie Canal, and then transported the fish throughout the state, via a refrigerated railroad boxcar of his own invention.

On a cold, January morning in 1876, NYS Fish Commission workers cut a hole in the ice and released 60 black bass and 5,000 whitefish into the waters of Raquette Lake.

In an effort to ensure the stocked bass would be able to establish a viable population in the big lake, Greene admonished anglers to practice a primitive catch and release,

The non-native fish ‘crappie’ have been discovered in Raquette Lake, and will most likely establish itself throughout the surrounding watershed. pleading, “If anyone should catch these fish, please put them back.”

Greene need not have worried. Bass quickly adjusted to the lake, and within a just a few years, specimens were being caught as far downstream as Colton. Greene believed bass had a unique adaptability to trout waters, since the two species spawn during opposite seasons of the year.

However, bass are very aggressive feeders and they rarely coexist with brook trout. However, they have proven to do so in Raquette Lake, which produced a NY State Record brook trout as recently as June 7, 2009 when Tom Yacovella of Utica landed a 5 lb., 4½ oz. specimen from Raquette Lake. Lake trout still thrive in the same waters. In fact, the DEC continues to harvest lake trout eggs from the lake to supplement the state hatchery system.

Crappie may change all matter of things. They are voracious feeders, and prolific breeders, which also spawn in shallow waters during the spring. A typical female Crappie may produce upwards of 150,000 eggs, but 20,000 to 60,000 eggs are more the rule. They will prey heavily on the lake’s established forage base of minnows and crayfish, and feast on the trout fry.

Lake Trout grow very slowly, and often don't mature until they are 8-10 years of age. The female lays an average of 400-1,200 eggs which take nearly four months to hatch.

Brook trout females produce between 100 – 400 eggs in late autumn, which they deposit in shallow water beds.

These figures should provide an indication of the unfair competition poised by mixing trout and crappie in the same waters. Although crappies are highly regarded as table fare, there are few species which can compare with trout in the culinary sense. There are no other fish species as iconic of Adirondack waters as the brookie.

Whoever was responsible for dumping crappie into the Raquette, I sure wish they would step forward and fess up. I know a lot of devoted trout anglers who’d enjoy an opportunity to shake hands with their windpipe, and I’d like to be the first in line.

Camp Santanoni open house Learn winter survival with to be held this weekend Adirondack TREKS Feb. 24 NEWCOMB — Another open house will be held at historic Great Camp Santanoni this weekend, allowing cross-country skiers and snowshoers access to camp properties to rest and view interpretive displays, according to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).

The 9.8-mile round trip excursion from the Gate House complex to the remote lakeside Main Lodge complex is a moderate ski.

“Events like these are part of DEC’s efforts to work with local communities to increase tourism and economic activity by showcasing the recreational opportunities the Adirondacks has to offer,” said DEC Commissioner Joe Martens, who is expected to ski to Camp Santanoni on Monday, Feb. 20.

Cross-country skiers and snowshoers will be able to visit both the Gate Lodge and Main Lodge of Camp Santanoni, view displays about the great camp and take interpretive tours with Adirondack Architectural Heritage (AARCH) staff.

NORTH CREEK — Ever wonder how people survive being lost in the winter woods with sub-zero temps? People can learn how to avoid frostbite and hypothermia to stay healthy and happy outdoors in the wintertime with a new Adirondack TREKS course Friday, Feb. 24.

First the group will practice indoors and then see which team can make the best shelter in the woods. Participants will practice winter survival skills with retired forest ranger Steve Ovitt and Wilderness First Aid Instructor Rick Morse.

People should meet at 1 p.m. at the Ski

The Artist’s Studio, a stone building near the Main Lodge on the shores of Newcomb Lake, will be open as a warming hut and will have hot beverages available. The public is asked to bring their own cups. Also, the Adirondack Interpretive Center will provide snowshoes to lend to visitors at the Gate Lodge.

The three Winter Weekend events are being hosted

by DEC, Adirondack Architectural Heritage (AARCH), the town of Newcomb and SUNY College of Environmental Sci-

ence and Forestry’s (ESF) Adirondack Interpretive Center.

Construction of Camp Santanoni began in 1892 by Robert and Anna Pruyn and eventually consisted of more than four dozen buildings on 12,900 acres including a working farm, the Gate Lodge complex, and a huge rustic Main Lodge and other buildings situated on Newcomb Lake.

Camp Santanoni was in private ownership until 1972.

Reservations are not required but for more information, contact AARCH at (518) 834-9328.

Bowl dressed appropriately for the afternoon. The program ends by 4 p.m. Call Rick Morse at 494-4094 or email at morses2@gmail.com by Feb. 17 to sign up. It is free and open to the public.
