Ontario March 19. The district, represented by Bill Owens (D-Plattsburgh), will change designation from 23 to 21, as declining state population reduces overall representation districts in New York from 29 to 27. Over the past three decades, the state's lost a dozen seats in the U.S. Congress. On the old map, Essex County was split down the middle with District 20, represented by Chris Gibson (R-

NORTH CREEK —Unseasonably warm temperatures forced the Gore Mountain Ski Center to close earlier than expected on Thursday, March 22. With temperatures reaching almost 80 degrees, skiers were flipping on the air conditioning in their cars instead of the heater. But that’s spring skiing. Abundant sunshine, skiers and snowboarders in shorts and Tshirts, and treks through the thick, Adirondack mud just to get to the gondola for a final run down the slopes. “It’s the last gasp of ski season and I didn’t get as much skiing in as I hoped, so I’m just grabbing the opportunity,” said Bob McCarthy, of Troy, who took the day off from work and drove an hour and a half to ski at Gore Mountain Thursday. “I called last night on the improbable event that it was open, and they told me it would be open through the weekend, but I just found out today, I guess a minute ago, that in fact this is it," McCarthy said. "This is the winter that wasn’t and I’m just kind of marking that.” In an effort to squeeze as many ski days into the season as possible, Gore officials closed the ski center Monday through Wednesday, moving snow to key locations for the weekend.
