New, improved events on tap for North Creek

By Andy Flynn andy@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — The 2012 special events calendar is shaping up for the Gore Mountain Region, with some new events being added to the annual standards.

One of the first major events of the year will be the 3rd Annual Adiron-

dack Adventure Festival from May 4 to 6. That’s the same weekend as the White Water Derby. A meeting was set for Feb. 23 to plan the festival, which will include 20-mile and 50-mile road bike tours; a 15-mile mountain bike ride; free raft rides; guided hikes; live music; craft and food vendors; and exhibitors.

The Gore Mountain Region Chamber of Commerce is coordinating the

Adirondack Adventure Festival, but the region’s calendar of events is mostly filled by activities from a variety of groups.

“We work in conjunction with many other organizations to promote the region as a whole,” said Chamber Director Pat Hamilton.

And while North Creek is a ski town, it features activities in all seasons.

Planning Board takes up North River zip line proposal

By Mike Mender newsenterprise@denpubs.com NORTH RIVER — Someone surveying the towering hill behind Whitewater Challengers rafting business along Route 28 in North River might see trees and brush, boulders and dirt and remnants of the latest snow fall. But Whitewater Challengers owner Marko Schmale

looks at the hillside and sees the future.

“If it ever became available, I knew what I wanted to do with that piece of property 10 years ago,” Schmale said Feb. 20 as he discussed his vision for the property. “It became available last June and I’ve been working on it ever since.”

The future Schmale sees for the 17acre parcel features a forest adventure course that includes a tree-top

“Let’s say someone checks into the Copperfield at 1 in the afternoon for a rafting trip the following day,” he said. “They’re wondering what they could do during an afternoon. This gives them some options.”

North Creek events from page 1 “We try to market ourselves as a four-season destination,” Hamilton said, adding that the events during the shoulder seasons of spring and fall are “critical” to the local economy. “We’re trying to put North Creek on the map ... and people who are not familiar with North Creek are pleasantly surprised because we do have a lot of things to offer.”

North Creek Business Alliance co-chair Mike Bowers introduced a couple of people at the group’s Feb. 16 meeting who are planning new events in 2012 for North Creek.

“We have some things that we’ve been doing every year ... but we’ve been asking everybody to create more events to help make us a destination,” Bowers said.

His daughter, Anna Bow-

ers, is helping organize a Fashion Show down by the train station as a fundraiser for the Business Alliance, which helps market the town. The show will also promote local businesses that sell clothing. The Fashion Show would be held in conjunction with a silent auction and include food and drink. A tentative date of Friday, June 15 was announced, but it was not finalized. Volunteers will be needed.

Anna also announced that she will be playing a larger role in organizing the North Creek Art Walks this year, running 5-7 p.m. every third Thursday May-September.

Those interested in signing up should call her for an application at 251-0199 or email her at info@barvino.net.

Sharalee Falzerano announced a new idea for North Creek during the Feb.

30324

16 Business Alliance meeting. She owns/operates the Cedarwood Bed & Breakfast in North River, works part time at the Town of Johnsburg Library, and is now working on creating a North Creek History Tour. This 1hour tour would start at the train station, continue up Main Street, and end at the Tannery Pond Community Center.

“My idea is to have it historic and accurate for one thing, entertaining number two, and I’d like my customers to feel like they’re really getting something,” Falzerano said.

The tour may stop at four businesses along the way.

“I want them to be historic in nature, as far as the buildings, so I have a story to tell,” Falzerano said. “I would like to have them produce or sell something local — whether it’s chocolate or beer or soap — so that my guests can have a little sampling of what’s being offered.”

Participants would then walk back to the train station on their own and have a chance to visit local shops along the way. Falzerano plans to hire tour guides who are “on stage” and entertaining.

Tannery Pond launches search for full-time director

By Mike Mender

newsenterprise@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — The Tannery Pond Community Center could have a full-time, paid director by June if a plan announced at the Feb. 21 Johnsburg Town Board meeting comes to fruition.

Joel Beaudin, a member of the Tannery Pond Community Center Association, told Town Board members that the association is launching a search for a full-time director and has set a budget of $50,000 to fund the new position.

“We’ve received pledges of $30,000 toward that goal,” Beaudin said. “The campaign to raise the other $20,000 begins immediately. And I feel pretty strongly that we’ll be able to raise it.”

Ideally, Beaudin said, funding for the position for year two and beyond would come from increased revenues generated by additional events and increased attendance at the center.

The association would like the new director to start work by June 1 in advance of the center ’s 10-year anniversary celebration on June 30.

Of the $30,000 already pledged, the Tannery Pond Community Center Association pledged $10,000, the North Creek Business Alliance pledged $10,000 and the railroad pledged $10,000, Beaudin said.

Town Board member Pete Olesheski asked if the association was seeking a financial

contribution from the town to help fund the position.

“I haven’t even thought about that,” Beaudin said. “But if the town offered, we wouldn’t turn it down.”

Supervisor Ron Vanselow, who also sits on the Tannery Pond board, said a town contribution hadn’t been contemplated at this point in time.

The role of the new director will be to help the center reach its full potential, Beaudin said, by helping fill seats and book events for the center and assist the town in managing the facility.

With Tannery Pond positioned as the southern anchor of the North Creek business corridor, it’s important to help it succeed, Beaudin said. Tannery Pond can be a catalyst for activity throughout the hamlet and beyond, he added.

“With this at one end and the train at the other, it makes sense to tie them together,” he added. “Our goal is to have people use it and view it as a destination.”

Resident Bob Nessle said he could foresee challenges in arriving at a working relationship between the town, the new director and the association.

“I’m wondering how the relationship will work for example with scheduling,” Nessle asked. “And fees for use, who’s responsible?

Who is responsible for costs? It’s a fantastic idea but it sounds like there could be a lot of problems.”

Beaudin conceded that all those issues will need to be addressed.

“We need to address them and we need to move forward with the solicitation (for donations) and we need to move forward with the search for a director,” Beaudin said. “We don’t intend to take over. It’s important to understand that. We want to help the town manage it.”

One goal of the new director would be to balance revenue with expenses, he said.

Board members seemed generally supportive of the proposal.

“This is a good opportunity to re-examine how things work,” Vanselow said. “This is a good opportunity for a symbiotic relationship between the building owner (the town) and the association and the community.”

Board member Gene Arsenault said the timing for a full-time director is right.

“This has come up before and I never thought the time was right,” Arsenault said.

“But now looking at what’s going on around town and the things that are happening, now’s the time.”

Board member Arnold Stevens agreed that hiring a full-time director is a good move.

“This is a great idea and I applaud the association for pursuing it,” Stevens said.

Details about the new position will be posted on the Tannery Pond website on Saturday.

In other business:

The Town Board unanimously approved contracts with five of six volunteer fire companies — North River, Johnsburg, Bakers Mills, Garnet Lake and Riverside. Contract

discussions with the Wevertown fire company are ongoing.

“There’s a letter from our attorney to Wevertown to move that discussion along,” Vanselow said.

The board authorized Vanselow to move forward with the bid process for the project to rebuild the town transfer station. The station burned to the ground last summer after being struck by lightning. The town has been working with its insurance carrier and an engineer to come up with bid specifications for the project and it is anticipated the bid packages could be ready for distribution prior to the next board meeting.

The board authorized Vanselow to proceed with legal notifications required prior to the town undertaking the cleanup of private property known as the “Denton property” on Goodman Road. The town has a court order that required the owner to cleanup an extensive collection of old tires, propane tanks and other hazardous garbage by last May. The property owner hasn’t cleaned up the property, Vanselow said, and now the town will proceed with cleanup and levy the cost of doing so against the property.

Vanselow said he will look at options for getting the work done, either using town crews and resources or contracting with an independent entity to do the work.

The Johnsburg Town Board will next convene in regular session at 7 p.m., Tuesday, March 6 at the Wevertown Community Center.

Mild winter keeps jaws flapping

A

ll over America, the media is filled with headlines about a mild winter, turning the weather from small talk to big news.

And residents in resort towns such as North Creek — where we rely on snow to keep the economy going strong — can easily get depressed when it’s too warm in the winter.

Like barVino owner Mike Bowers recently said in a recent North Creek Business Alliance meeting: We should all give thanks to the crews at Gore Mountain Ski Center for creating a great ski experience this year, despite the snow deficiency.

With snow guns and groomers, they saved this Adirondack ski town.

Likewise, the Garnet Hill Lodge trail crew has done an amazing job this winter by opening 30 kilometers of trails, and the buzz is the skiing is great.

Our downhill and cross-country ski centers are offering top-notch experiences for visitors, and we should be talking it up.

While flowers are blooming in cities to the south, the skiers who live there may not know the skiing is fine here in North Creek. Let’s tell them. Everywhere we go, let’s talk it up. Yes, we’re open for skiing!

More snow would be better for the economy, especially in March, typically the strongest ski month on the calendar.

We hate to say it, though, because it makes us feel guilty, but the warmer weather actually feels pretty good.

Many who decided to lose weight on New Year ’s Day can get outside more and walk on snowless streets and sidewalks without much hassle — and without boots.

It’s helped our waistlines.

Yet, the mild winter has been throwing off the regular rhythm of life for humans and other species in the animal kingdom.

If you believe all the media hype, the environment is in turmoil, our bank accounts have been affected, our food supply is threatened, and our health is in jeopardy.

Is it global warming? Did Nostradamus predict this? After all, the Farmers’ Almanac didn’t. For our region, the Almanac predicted “Average temps, very stormy, snowy.”

“For the winter of 2011–12, the Farmers’ Almanac is forecasting ‘clime and punishment,’ a season of unusually cold and stormy weather.”

Really? I want my money back.

That’s not the story this winter. At least that’s not what we found in a recent Google search for “mild winter.” Here’s

Bobcats are our only relatively common native cat, weighing 15 (female) to about 35 pounds, but it is so clever and elusive that you'd think they must be made of will o' the wisp. Despite a lifetime of woods walking up here, I had to go to the Sierras to see one dart across a road in front of me, or at least I think I saw it! Because food is scarce here in the winter, a male roams a territory of 125 square miles, managing to kill deer on occasion despite the danger to a small animal attacking an 130 pounder. One deer lasts them for weeks. I can't find an estimate of how many we have in our 10,000 square miles.

Males overlap territories being very careful not to run into each other, so you can't just divide.

We had some lynx at one time but our snowshoe hares do not have the spectacular 10-year population cycles of the far north.

Here the cycles are local and the numbers vary only four times in size. My sister spent time near the 60th parallel in Alberta and tells of seeing four lynx kittens in a small

poplar tree in that “northern boreal plains” area. Driving for just 100 yards from there she counted 70 hares! That surely was lynx heaven as hares are usually 95 percent of their diet. Lynx have an advantage in deep snow, but with a future of less snow and more coyotes and bobcats able to compete higher on the mountains, there is not much hope we will ever have them again.

Jensen also talked about the cougar that was sighted just north of Lake George village a year ago. He showed the 2,000-mile route from South Dakota the cat took to Connecticut last year. Our animal was proven to be the same one by testing hair from where it bedded down. He says there is no breeding population here though ex-pets with South American DNA are spotted now and then DEC wants to increase the public's “en-

joyment of the bobcat resource” by expanding the areas and seasons where and when they can be trapped. The trapping season is now between Oct. 25 and Dec. 10 but will increase to Feb. 15 in the Adirondacks. Some of us are unhappy with any leg-hold trapping for fun or money. It seems to be an anachronistic, inhumane practice, not just because of the physical pain involved especially if the animal chews off a foot to escape, but because of the mental stress on an intelligent, exquisitely sensitive animal whose very essence is freedom. Bobcats are as capable of suffering as your dog or cat, which sometimes end up in traps too, of course.

In the Adirondack, trappers have to check traps only every 48 hours instead of the 24 in the rest of the state. After being caught in a trap without food, drink, or a way to keep warm, they are usually clubbed to death to prevent damaging the pelt. Trapping when bobcats are almost never a “nuisance,” never over-populated and never a danger to humans means that “management” is all about regulating trappers, not bobcats which don't need it.

New York hikers love to have the rare excitement of seeing a wild cat, or at least signs it was there. DEC should leave the “bobcat resource” in our Park for us all to enjoy.

They belong to all New Yorkers when they are alive and free, a charismatic part of our wonderfully wild forests.

Letters to the Editor M.D. takes issue with publisher’s column

Thanks for help battling leukemia

To the News Enterprise: I must respond to one of your recent Viewpoint editorials because you make some strong statements which are simply not correct. Plan B is emergency contraception and is not an abortion pill. Plan B is the same hormone included in many birth control pills and does not induce abortions.

As stated by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, “Emergency contraceptive pills will not cause an abortion.

Emergency contraception is not the same as the abortion pill. There is no time when the emergency contraceptive pills available in the United States would end a pregnancy once it has started.”

Furthermore, it is not affected by the Affordable Care Act because women do not need a prescription from a doctor to buy it. It is already available over the counter from the pharmacy for women 18 years and older. It will remain available over the counter at the pharmacy regardless of this act.

I believe it's important for every American to have access to quality health care and the facts.

Lynne Macco, M.D. Elizabethtown

To the News Enterprise: The family and friends of Matthew Agard would like to extend a big THANK YOU to the following businesses who have contributed in many ways to ease the financial hardship associated with leukemia.

I could not believe that she actually went by herself. Tink said, 'Play again,' so we played again.”

Aileen Stevens “I would talk to a toucan. She would ask me if I would play tag with her. I would say, 'Yes!' She would fly low enough for me to reach her. When tag was over I would ask if she would give me a ride through the rainforest. She would say, 'Yes!' I would get on her back and go for a ride. I see a lion, a giraffe and a few more animals.

Goodnight.'

Hunter Mulvey “I would say 'Hi!' I would tell them a story while having a campfire and cooking marshmallows. I would tell them my name.

The next day, I would tell my doctor who would tell me, 'I think you're crazy!' he would give me a shot and replace my brain.”

Ethan Gereau Mrs. Hayden's JCS fourth grade: “If I could talk to animals, then I would want to understand them. I would want to know what they say. They could tell me what they were going to do that day. If I were an animal, I would ant to be a cat. Cats can climb trees really easily, and I could understand other animals better. It would be awesome.”

How I have sidetracked- but if my memory would work perfect I would just love to relate in person, to some interested listener; the happenings of days gone by.

However as I have climbed the hill and am going down on the other side; I like to keep my soul and mind in the spiritual realm and be ready for Heaven every minute. My memory of our Sunday afternoons, when there were no guests present was the memory of m mother and father spending considerable time singing some good old hymns, while they had we children near them, to enjoy our Sunday afternoons together, in reverence for God's day. In later years after someone started services in the Will Merrill's church; we attended Sunday afternoon services in that particular Church.

We didn't think of playing ball or sliding down hill or any violent play or activity on the Lord's Day. We were taught to reverence the Lord's Day. Enjoy each and every day.

Correction

Due to a reporting error, a story about a Johnsburg Central School District budget workshop misstated the percentage growth in insurance premiums over the past three years. The story should have stated that the premium had not increased in the past two years, and increased about 3.5 percent three years ago.

Indian Lake proves this is a winter worth celebrating

By Bill Quinlivan

newsenterprise@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE — The town of Indian Lake kicked off its 27th Annual Winterfest celebration Friday, Feb. 17 with a Mardi Gras parade down Main Street.

Led by the Mardi Gras King and Queen, Barry and Vicky Hutchins, the parade started at the Indian Lake Town Hall and culminated in the market parking lot at the center of town. Here the floats were judged as they entered the lot.

Most parade participants and attendees assembled in the Indian Lake Restaurant and Tavern to get out of the wind and hear the results of the judging. Kelly King announced the winners, with first place going to the Girl Scouts’ float entry, second place being awarded to the King of the Hill float and the Hutchins Construction float receiving third place.

The parade was followed by a pasta dinner at the town’s Legion Hall and many of the festival attendees closed the evening with the movie, “Drive” at the Indian Lake Community Theater.

Saturday morning found the town abuzz with excitement over the start of the Indian Lake Snow Warriors’ annual Poker Run. Entrants registered in the cabin at Byron Park, received a map of the area and zoomed off to as many as 11 businesses throughout the towns of Indian Lake, Sabael, Blue Mountain Lake and Newcomb. At each stop the riders got the back of their maps stamped and received a playing card to be used to build a poker hand at the final stop, Swifty’s Restaurant and Bar, where four cash prizes were awarded from the days proceeds.

The Snow Warriors kept 50 percent of the proceeds, which are used toward funding the cost of grooming the region’s snowmobile trails, helping to ensure a quality sledding experience and repeat visitation to the area surrounding the towns.

Saturday morning also found a flurry of excitement around both the Indian Lake Town Hall and the Indian Lake Central School.

At the Town Hall, the Friends of the Indian Lake Library found their Book and Cookie Sale extremely well attended. The Friends of the Library, headed by President Richard Leonard, use the proceeds of the event to fund various physical needs of the library, computer educational programming and writers’ workshops. Mary Leonard greeted visitors at the door of the sale.

“We even fund a scholarship with the proceeds of the sale which is awarded to a local student,” Mary Leonard said.

Across Main Street, at the Indian Lake Central School cafeteria, the Chamber of Commerce was hosting the Winter Wonderland Craft Show on Saturday and Sunday.

The event showcased quality handmade

Chamber to offer small business courses INDIAN LAKE — The Indian Lake Chamber of Commerce has partnered with the Indian Lake Community Planning Committee (ILCPC) and Indian Lake Central School to host three courses to assist local small businesses and entrepreneurs in either expanding a current business or starting one from the ground up.

“We are committed to supporting our businesses and we encourage existing and potential business owners to participate in these business sessions,” said Chamber Board President Nancy Harding.

Each course will look at a different aspect of a successful business: feasibility of

starting a business, knowledge and skills for running a successful business and financing available for starting or expanding a business.

Anyone who would like to start their business or want to better organize their existing business should consider attending these courses. All courses will be held at the Indian Lake Central School.

• The first course: “Small Business Basics” or “What to do before putting up your Open for Business Sign” will be held on Tuesday, April 24, from 6 to 8 p.m.

• The second course: “My Business 101,” is a two-session class presented by Marc Campeau, Entrepreneurship

items from local artisans and crafts people as well as those from as far away as Malone. By all measures, the show was a huge success.

Kate Moore, board member of the Indian Lake Chamber of Commerce, said this was one of the most successful and well attended shows in years.

“On behalf of the Indian Lake Chamber of Commerce, I would like to thank Indian Lake Central School, the Town of Indian Lake, ILCS student volunteers and our crafters for a very successful Winterfest Craft Fair,” Moore said. “We hope to see everyone again next year.”

Saturday closed with a roast beef dinner at the United Methodist Church, a Tricky Tray at the Indian Lake Central School sponsored by the Class of 2012 and a gift from Old Man Winter in the form of a fresh layer of snow

for Sunday’s winter fun activities at the Town’s Ski Hill.

Sunday morning found the festivities kicked off with a well-attended and breakfast at the Town Fire Hall. Afterwards, families took advantage of a sun-filled afternoon and the fresh snow to have fun competing in downhill races with homemade sleds, iceskating and playing broomball on the town ice rink.

In the evening, festivalgoers assembled at the ski hill, enjoying skating, skiing, a large bon fire and fireworks.

Many are discouraged by unseasonably warm and relatively snow-free weather, but this year ’s Winterfest at Indian Lake showed no hesitancy at celebrating one of our area’s most splendid and beautiful seasons — all in the heart of the Adirondacks.

Indian Lake Middle School Students of the Month

Center, Clarkson University.

The dates are Saturdays, May 12 and 19, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Pearsall Foundation supports One County, One Book Program

Raquette Lake librarian Carolynn Dufft caught these snowmobilers out on Raquette Lake last week catching some rays and checking out the winter book for Hamilton County Reads, a new one county/one book program by the Indian Lake Theater. Copies of “The Dirty Life: On Farming, Food and Love” are available at libraries across Hamilton County.

Photo provided

INDIAN LAKE — The Indian Lake Theater received a $2,000 grant from the Glenn and Carol Pearsall Adirondack Foundation to team up with libraries across Hamilton County and launch a new “One County, One Book” program.

Each season in 2012 Hamilton County Reads will invite Adirondackers to read the same one book. Each “big read” will conclude with a special live event with authors and filmmakers sharing their work and answering questions from the audience. Copies of the books will be available at participating libraries.

“The Dirty Life: On Farming, Food and Love,” by Adirondack farmer Kristin Kimball, will kick off the 2012 series. It is the true story of a single, thirtysomething woman working as a writer in New York City. She begins to feel a sense of longing for a family and for home when she interviews a dynamic young farmer. With no knowledge about growing vegetables, let alone raising pigs and cattle and driving horses, Kristin tells the story of shedding her city self and moving to five hundred acres in the eastern Adirondacks to start a farm.

On Sunday, March 11 at 3 p.m. the “big read” will wrap up with live appearances by Kimball and filmmaker Ben Stechschulte, who will be showing his new documentary film “Small Farm Rising.“ “Small Farm Rising” is a one-hour documentary film in-

JCS Art Show at TPCC NORTH CREEK — The first through 12th grade art students of Johnsburg Central School will be exhibiting some of their finest art at the Widlund Gallery at Tannery Pond Community Center from Feb. 28 to March 19.

A sampling of some of the art to be on display will include 4th grade Op Art, 3rd

Big Mouth Fish done in clay, and Glass Mosaics done by the Art History class. Also included will be Studio Art Linoleum Prints and Self Portraits, Clay Face Vessels done by the 7th grade and High School Sculpture of Multi-Medium Clay Masks.

spired by first-generation farmers (including Kimball) who have reinvented the small farm in America. Filmed in the Adirondacks, the documentary follows a group of farmers from three unique farms as they usher plants, land, and animals through an entire growing season.

After the film, Kimball and Stechschulte will join the audience for a question-and-answer session about the book, the film, Adirondack farming, and the ways they interact.

Then the theater will host a reception with the evening's special guests.

Look for copies of the book at the Indian Lake Library, Long Lake Town Library, and the Raquette Lake Free Library.

Firefighters hold training in Johnsburg

COOKIE DEPARTMENT

JOHNSBURG — Johnsburg area firefighters with guests from Indian Lake practiced their skills and allowed new members to experience airpack and other necessary firefighting skills on Sunday, Feb. 19 at a house on the Goodman Road in the hamlet of Johnsburg.

The companies included host company Johnsburg Fire, North Creek Fire, Garnet Lake Fire, Johnsburg Emergency Squad and Indian Lake Fire.

Nearly 30 firefighters adding new skills or honing existing ones took advantage of the “smoke house” to get the feel of a live fire without the danger of a real fire. This is done with a fog machine that uses non-toxic the-

ater fog to “smoke up the house.” Participants also practiced remote pumping operations and tanker shuttle procedures for rural water supply as well as other firefighting skills, including live hose line practice and scene support.

Johnsburg Emergency Squad provided normal stand-by and firefighter rehab. The officers of the involved companies would like to thank their members, who gave their time and efforts to make this a successful practice. Fire company officials are thankful to the owners of the house, Jim and Betty Jones, who let the departments practice skills that are difficult to do without a “smokehouse.”

TOP SELLERS: The top Girl Scout cookie sellers in Hamilton County gathered for this picture on Nov. 7 at the American Legion Hall in Indian Lake just prior to the Junior Girl Scout's regularly scheduled meeting.

After two years, Boy Scout Troop 75 in Long Lake still growing

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com LONG LAKE — The newest incarnation of Boy Scout Troop 75 is only two years old. The boys are young, and they’re building their scout careers one merit badge at a time.

Scoutmaster Dr. Russell Rider and his wife, Maxine, are leading Troop 75 into a new era. With seven scouts — and one pre-scout ready

to become a full-fledged member in May — they are still growing.

The current scouts are all Tenderfoots and working on their second- and first-class requirements. They are mainly 11 and 12 years old.

And they get a lot of support from the adults in their lives.

“We have a lot of parental involvement,” Maxine said.

“We have more leaders than we have boys.”

There is a committee of 12

adult leaders: six committee members, including Maxine; five assistant scoutmasters, four of whom are parents of scouts; and one scoutmaster. The Ryders are also the parents of one of the scouts.

Six scouts attended the Cedarlands Scout Reservation in Long Lake during the summer of 2011 and members plan on spending time at one of the Sabattis Scout camps this summer.

In the fall, the troop helped with the community garden in Long Lake, assisting Christopher and Cynthia Thompson.

The scouts walked in the 2011 Long Lake Memorial Day Parade and organized a strawberry shortcake sale at the town beach for the Fourth of July as a fundraiser for scout camp.

In 2013, Troop 75 plans to embark on a 50-mile journey, canoeing, hiking and performing community service along the way. Details about the trip are not available at this time.

Honor Roll Sundae Party

Johnsburg Central School students named to Honor Roll or High Honor Roll for Quarters 1 and 2 enjoy "Sundaes for Scholars," an annual event hosted by the JCS Teachers Association each February to recognize outstanding student achievement. At right, guidance counselor Jane Kokoletsos and science teachers Jeff Ordway and Gary Wilson serve up the treats on Feb. 17 at lunch time to deserving students including, from left in front, Jillian Urbonowicz, Chelsea Gazaille, Ashley Loomis and Moriah Amadeo.

from page 1 obtained Adirondack Park Agency approval for his project. He said he’s been to the Johnsburg Planning Board three times as part of the approval process, with a fourth visit coming this Monday, Feb. 27, at the Board’s regular monthly meeting.

“I’m hoping next Monday we’ll have cleared all the hurdles and be good to go,” Schmale said. “Then I’ll be hiring a contractor to install the zip line.”

Planning Board Chairwoman Dottie Osterhout said a public hearing that began at the Board’s Jan. 23 meeting was kept open to allow time for additional comments from the public. The Planning Board has received just one letter expressing concerns about the project, Osterhout said.

“I think most of the concerns, in my opinion, can be mitigated with rules and regulations imposed by the Planning Board,” Osterhout said.

She anticipates that the board will vote on Schmale’s project on Monday.

“Unless something new comes up, I believe it will be,” Osterhout said. “New information can always come to light. But I’d like to hope we can vote on the project Monday.”

At the Jan. 2 meeting of the Planning Board, Schmale responded to a Dec. 19 letter from the town zoning enforcement officer and offered additional details of his proposal:

• The location offers parking on-site for 25 vehicles.

• Hours of operations will be 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday and weekends.

• Staffing would include one guide per eight guests; one referee per 10 to 15 guests on the paintball fields with other staff on duty. One zip guide per 10 participants; a staff member on duty to park cars.

• Minimum age for the zip line would be 10 years old.

Schmale has existing restrooms on-site and will bring in portable toilets to augment those facilities. He has purchased two new Ford 12passenger vans that will enable him to ferry customers from remote locations such as The Copperfield Inn and transport them to the North River facility. Doing so has a dual purpose, he said. It will enable large groups to travel together and will help cut down on congestion along Route 28 in the area of the business.

The paintball fields will host what Schmale termed as more recreational, less competitive paintball than the “hardcore” games hosted at other facilities.

“So if a group of people on the spur of the moment said, ‘hey let’s go try some paintball,’ this would be a place where they could do that,” he said.

The interpretive hiking trail will feature informational graphics describing types of trees and other plants growing along the trail along with background information talking about why certain plants grow in certain places.

Marko Schmale “It’s a nice wooded lot,” Schmale said of the 17-acre parcel. “It’s ideal for a hiking trail.”

The facility could be open as soon as May if Planning Board approval comes soon, he said. When open, the facility will add a half-dozen or more positions to his existing staff, Schmale said. He envisions hiring two assistant manager type people to help run the facility. In addition, he said he’ll need four or five more staff to properly assist guests.

“Everybody around town seems excited,” Schmale

said, describing the reception he’s gotten to his plan.

“My goal is to be able to make money and hire more people. We want to cater to what visitors to the area want and I think offering these options is a way to do it.”

Feb. 27 Planning Board public hearings, meeting Town of Johnsburg Planning Board will hold public hearings on Monday, Feb. 27 at the Tannery Pond Community Center, lower meeting room, 228 Main St., North Creek, regarding the following: •Cunningham/Stewartʼs Subdivision #224-11: Transfer of a 75 +/- foot by 215+/- foot right of way from parcel 66.-1-42 (Patrick Cunningham) to parcel 83.-2-1 (both HB2 zone) (Stewartʼs Shop) to create a paved turn around for the store.

•Ward Hill Subdivision #22511: Subdivision of parcel # 99.1-13 (MX3.2-MX 8.5 zone) creating 12 residential lots.

Public hearings will commence at 7 p.m. Persons wishing to appear at the meeting may do so in person, by attorney, or any other means of communication. Communications will be filed with the board at that time.

A regular meeting of the Planning Board will follow the public hearings. Consideration will be given at that time to: •Site Plan Application #012012 “Izzyʼs Market & Deli” –parcel # 60.10-1-61 to modify and operate a market and deli at 282 Main St., North Creek

Cuomo announces teacher evaluation agreement ALBANY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo, New York State Education Commissioner John King, and New York State United Teachers President Richard C. Iannuzzi Feb. 16 announced an agreement on a new statewide evaluation system they say will make New York State a national leader in holding teachers accountable for student achievement.

The agreement gives significant guidance to local school districts for the implementation of a teacher evaluation system that is based on multiple measures of performance including student achievement and rigorous classroom observations. The agreement follows through on the state's commitment to put in place a real and effective teacher evaluation system as a condition of the $700 million granted through the federal Race to the Top program.

"The goal is and always has been to help students — to give them every opportunity

to succeed in college and careers,” King said.

“To make that happen, we need to improve teaching and learning. We owe it to our students to make sure every classroom is led by an effective teacher and every school is led by an effective principal."

Plan details Teacher Performance – 60 points Under the agreement, 60 percent of a teacher's evaluation will be based on rigorous and nationally recognized measures of teacher performance. The agreement requires that a majority of the teacher performance points will be based on classroom observations by an administrator or principal, and at least one observation will be unannounced. The remaining points will be based upon defined standards including observations by independent trained evaluators, peer classroom observations, student and parent feedback from evaluators, and evidence of performance through student portfolios.

Student Achievement in State and Local Assessments– 40 points Under the agreement, 40 percent of a teacher's evaluation will be based on student academic achievement, with 20 percent from state testing and 20 percent from a list of three testing options including state tests, third party assessments/tests approved by the SED and locally developed tests that will be subject to SED review and approval.

Valentine Dinner held at Copperfield NORTH CREEK — On Feb. 11, the Johnsburg Youth Commission sponsored a Valentine dinner and ball at the Copperfield Inn. It was deemed “a wonderful time” for area children and adults to get together and explore the fun of social ballroom dancing.

The event was the culmination of classes for youth and adults taught by Paul LoGuerico at Johnsburg Central School and Tannery Pond Community Center.

New adult classes will begin on Wednesday, March 7 at the Johnsburg Central School in the cafetorium. For more information, call Paul at 251-5486. Cost is $40 a couple and free for students in grades 9-12.

der the plan, school districts will also have the option of using state tests to measure up to 40 percent of a teacher's rating.

Rating System The agreement significantly tightens the scoring system to ensure student achievement and teacher performance are both properly taken into account for teacher ratings. Teachers or principals that are rated ineffective in the 40 points could not receive a developing score overall.

Ineffective: 0 – 64 Developing: 65 – 74 Effective: 75 – 90 Highly Effective: 91 – 100 Assigning a Curve for the Ratings The agreement sets forth, for the first time, a standard for school districts and teacher unions to set the allocation of points or the "curve" for the teacher ratings. The curve must be allocated in a manner that a teacher can receive one of the four ratings, and the SED Commissioner will be able to reject insufficiently set curves.

SED Commissioner Final Review The agreement also, for the first time, gives the SED Commissioner the authority to approve or disapprove local evaluation plans that are deemed insufficient. This will add rigor to the process and ensure evaluation plans comply with the law.

Skiing the south slopes

NYSDEC Commissioner Joe Martens enjoys a day away from the office, as he visits Camp Santanoni.

A

which include The Adirondack Nature Conservancy, the NYSDEC, Adirondack Architectural Heritage (AARCH) and the Town of Newcomb.

The effort was achieved through the foresight of a dedicated group of enthusiastic preservationists, aided by a politically savvy, Town Supervisor and willing State Officials.

Located at the end of a marvelously maintained, five mile long, carriage road, the camp complex is bordered by the Vanderwhacker Wild Forest and the surrounding High Peaks Wilderness. It overlooks Newcomb Lake, and the stillwaters of Lower Duck Hole. It remains a diamond in the rough, and that is its greatest draw.

This winter, the NYSDEC, AARCH, the Town of Newcomb, and SUNY-ESF's Adirondack Interpretive Center have been hosting special weekends for cross-country skiers and snowshoers to enable to them to visit the Gatelodge and Main Lodge. The events allow visitor to enjoy interpretive tours with AARCH staff, and to warm up at the Artist's Studio before their return trip. The last of the "open house weekends" will be hosted on March 17-18.

Mike Frenette, the camp’s resident caretaker, carpenter and caregiver, informed the visiting press corps that over 200 guests had traveled to the camp over the past weekend. He claimed it was the largest crowd he has ever witnessed, in any season. Without the benefit of Frenette’s fine and friendly care, it is doubtful the camp would still be intact, due to the unrelenting attacks of nature. From shoveling the roofs, to

s the winter season begins to show signs of winding down, visions of an early ice out have begun to dance through my head like sugar-plums on Christmas Eve. Although the ‘winter that wasn’t’ has yet to produce the deep, lush snowfall that skiers dream of; the season has certainly provided some interesting pockets of opportunity.

A recent ski trip through the Route of the Seven Carries, from Paul Smiths to Lake Clear offered a gentle blend of woodland romps and flat ice flings, filled with an interesting assortment of animal tracks which included otter, deer, bobcat and even moose. The cover on the lake ice was ideal for ski skating, and there was plenty of snow in the woods. In the course of a full day’s travel over seven carries and across eight water bodies, I never encountered another traveler.

A few days later, I encountered crowds and challenging ski conditions at the Mt. Van Hoevenberg Nordic Ski Center in Lake Placid. Featuring meager snow cover, and an icy, hard packed base, the former Olympic ski trails were in rough shape. I found far less traffic, and much better trail conditions the following day at the Paul Smiths VIC, even though there was a race in progress.

However, the best ski conditions I encountered during a full week of adventuring were found in the village of Newcomb, where I enjoyed a gentle ski over generous snow while taking an interesting journey into Great Camp Santanoni. My visit to the Land of the South-Slope'rs in Newcomb coincided with an official, NYSDEC press event, which was available by invitation only.

Turkey Shoot to be held

Mike Fenoff found this nice 8-pointer dead last week in Elizabethtown, apparently a victim of a vehicle collision. The deer’s antlers were still very much attached to its skull.

A shedding story A

n interesting anomaly seems to be occurring this year with the deer herd in the form of bucks bouncing around in mid February still wearing head gear.

Normally, bucks will have shed their antlers by this time, making way for next year ’s set. It is unusual to see antlers on a deer in mid to late February, but that is exactly what outdoorsmen are reporting and many are attributing it to the warmer than normal temperatures we’ve enjoyed this winter.

I myself saw a nice, high, 6-point behind the house the other day, and my old hunting chum Mike Fenoff stumbled across a dead 8-pointer in Elizabethtown that was showing no sign of shedding its antlers.

“These antlers were not loose at all,” Mike said. “I picked him up by them.”

Senior DEC Wildlife Biologist Ed Reed said that while unusual, a buck still having its horns this time of year is not unheard of. And, he said the milder than normal winter we’ve experienced probably has little to do with the fact that some deer have yet to drop their antlers.

“I really don’t think the weather has had any affect, it is the length of the daylight and a drop in testosterone following the rut that controls it,” Reed said.

The way that daylight affects antler growth is complicated. But, to simplify things, the shorter the day length, the less testosterone produced by a deer.

That’s because the length of a day from sun up to sun down is sensed by a deer ’s eyes, which controls the release of different hormones. One of those hormones controls testosterone.

So, when the days grow shorter in late fall, testosterone levels drop causing a layer of cells between the antler base and the point where it mounts to the head — called the pedicle — to weaken. Eventually, both antlers fall off, a process that normally takes place over the course of a couple weeks.

Deer in the Adirondacks normally shed their antlers in late December or early January, Reed said, but some deer may keep them into February and even March.

Dr. Mickey Hellickson, a biologist with the Quality Deer Management Assoc., said that along with testosterone levels, a deer ’s diet, as well as its age, can also affect when it sheds its antlers.

“A restricted diet has been found to cause bucks to shed their antlers early. It has been suspected that the lack of adequate nutrition somehow affects testosterone output,” Hellickson said.

Also, older-aged bucks are thought to shed their antlers earlier than younger bucks, and more dominant bucks tend to cast their antlers sooner than lower-ranked (subordinate) bucks, he said.

“Older-aged, more dominant bucks probably shed their antlers sooner because of the high energy costs incurred in maintaining a higher dominance rank, such as fighting and chasing,” Hellickson noted.

Like Reed, Hellickson also noted that there is no clear evidence that weather directly affects antler shedding.

But, he did say it is likely that severe winters may cause bucks to shed their antlers earlier, because of the nutritional stress this causes.

Under this hypothesis, a mild winter when food sources are plentiful, like this year, could slow the shedding of antlers, because deer are well nourished and bucks had it relatively easy recuperating from the rut.

Aside from when a deer looses its antlers, one thing about this winter is abundantly clear: The deer herd should benefit from the mild temperatures.

“I expect to see the deer take increase dramatically next year,” Reed said. “I think we’ll see a lot of yearling bucks running around.”
