Gore Mt. makes upgrades for ski season.

By John Grybos jgrybos@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE — Rafters loading up their buses on Route 28 are often in harm's way, and a new parking area for the buses should help ensure that the exciting action stays on the water and off the roads.

The town of Indian Lake, the town of Johnsburg and the Department of Transportation will build the parking lot this fall to accommodate the many buses that park along the busy road to pick up rafters who take advantage of Abanakee Dam water releases for rafting.

Staff at Adventure Sports Rafting said that between the high-speed roadway and fleets of buses, it can be a turbulent spot.

“I think it's pretty dangerous,” said Office Manager Bonnie Clark. She's seen as many as 20 buses waiting to pick up river riders. “It's very chaotic when it's busy.”

Many buses mount their watercraft on the roof, so people must stand close to moving traffic while guiding boats into place, said Clark, a very dangerous place to be.

WASHINGTON — Environmentalist and long-time Johnsburg resident Bill McKibben was arrested outside the White House while protesting a planned oil pipeline in the western U.S.

Aug. 20, and charges were dropped Aug 22.

McKibben spent Saturday and Sunday nights in jail, and was due in court Monday afternoon. When presented to the court, the judge was offended at the way McKibben and his protesters were treated and dropped all charges, freeing

McKibben to resume his protest.

After getting his cell phone back from police Tuesday morning, McKibben used his first call to contact the staff of the News Enterprise.

North Country towns wrangle with tax cap Supervisors say cuts, mandate relief needed

By Jon Hochschartner jonh@denpubs.com

NORTH CREEK — North Country towns and villages are struggling to deal with the requirements of the 2 percent property tax cap Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed into law in June.

As a result, many government leaders report their budgets will require cuts and they need mandate relief.

The tax cap is set at 2 percent or the average of the national consumer price index (CPI), whichever is lower. The cap could be overridden by a 60 percent vote of a governing body.

Unfunded and underfunded mandates include legal requirements that a local district provide a program, project, or activity on behalf of the state or federal governments.

A day-long tax cap training event hosted

by State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli’s office was held Aug. 25 at SUNY Plattsburgh.

Supervisors from the towns of Keene, Minerva, Ticonderoga, Plattsburgh and Peru said before press time they planned on attending. The mayor of Lake George said he was not personally attending, but two of his representatives were.

William Ferebee, supervisor of Keene, said the cap definitely will affect his town, though he wasn’t sure yet if it would require budget cuts.

The state comptroller ’s guidelines regarding the cap, according to Ferebee, have so far not been clear “at all.”

What if, for an unseen reason, Ferebee said, the town had to hire a lawyer, the cost of whom would place the budget over the tax cap? What would the town do?

“Really we don’t know the ground rules yet,” Ferebee said.

Keene employees haven’t seen a pay raise in three years, and in order to grant a pay raise, Ferebee said he’d need to cut from unmandated programs.

“I’m opposed to the cap,” Ferebee said. “If there was a cap on state mandates, that would be a different story.”

Minerva Supervisor Sue Montgomery Corey said the tax cap would require cuts in her town, but she wasn’t sure where in the budget.

“Everything needs to be reviewed,” Montgomery Corey said.

The Minerva supervisor said she thought the idea of managing costs was a good one, but living with a cap without mandate relief is “going to be tough.”

Ticonderoga Supervisor Debra Malaney said cuts were inevitable in her town because of the tax cap. She’s asked all departments to find at least 10 percent cuts in their budgets.

“Everything is on the table,” Malaney said.

Still, the Ticonderoga supervisor said she supported the cap, seeing it from the perspective of both a homeowner and a municipal leader.

“People need relief from taxes,” Malaney said. “We need to be able to afford to live here.”

The Ticonderoga supervisor said she wanted to know what a town was supposed to do in the unforseen event infrastructure is broken, and fixing it would put the budget over the cap.

Town of Plattsburgh Supervisor Bernie Bassett said he was optimistic cuts would not be required from his budget as a result of the cap.

“We’re a lean, mean machine,” the Plattsburgh supervisor said. “We operate very frugally.”

Still, he wasn’t certain Plattsburgh would escape cuts due to the town’s lack of a general tax, and because some of the details of the cap remain unclear.

Bassett had mixed feelings about the cap, saying it represented a “broad-brush” approach.

“The tax cap is there for good purposes,” the Plattsburgh supervisor said. “The motive, the incentive, has merit. The question is ‘Can we do it?’”

While Bassett believes Plattsburgh can, he isn’t so confident about other towns.

Peru Supervisor Peter Glushko said he didn’t think the 2 percent cap was going to represent a hardship for his town.

“We are in no way anticipating that we’re going to exceed that,” Glushko said, adding that taxes have been decreasing or staying level in his town for the past two years.

The Peru supervisor described his position on the tax cap as “qualified support.”

“They have to really start tackling these unfunded mandates that come down,” Glushko said.

Village of Lake George Mayor Robert Blais said the cap would require cuts in his budget.

Lake George committed to a $3.1 million improvement to its wastewater treatment plant and pump station, which will eat up a large portion of the shrunken budget.

As a result, the village will have to consider employee layoffs and holding fewer tourist events such as fireworks and park concerts, Blais said.

The Lake George supervisor said he was opposed to the tax cap so long as it was not balanced with mandate relief.

STUART N. DELMAN, D.D.S.

Johnsburg EMS has two new ambulances in its fleet, a 2009 Chevy 3500 Osage and a 2010 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.

New ambulances arrive in Jbrg JOHNSBURG — The Johnsburg Emergency Squad is sporting two new ambulances these days, thanks to the many locals who supported the ambulance fund drive and funding from the federal government.

The first, a Chevy 3500 Osage, has been in use since February. It’s a 2009 dealer demo with 14,000 miles. The ambulance was ordered in November 2010 prior to receiving notice from FEMA that a grant request submitted in the spring had been awarded. Receiving $118,750 towards the $137,000 purchase price was happy news for not only the squad but also the local taxpayers. This ambulance replaced the 1998 box ambulance provided by the Town of Johnsburg which had over 150,000 miles and cost several

83261

thousand dollars each year to keep road-worthy.

The second ambulance, a 2010 Mercedes Benz Sprinter van, arrived Aug. 6 and marks a departure from tradition for the agency. The van has a smaller workspace than a regular box-type ambulance, but it offers more gas and maintenance savings. Members say getting used to the smaller space will be a challenge but the savings are worth it.

The purchase of this ambulance reflects the effort by the Board of Directors to reduce expenses without sacrificing emergency care. It replaces a 2001 Ford, previously owned by the Town of Johnsburg, which had 145,000 miles and needed $12,000 in repairs in 2010. The squad also owns a third ambulance, a 2005 with 90,000 miles.

Johnsburg to commemorate Civil War Sept. 9-11 NORTH CREEK — The Civil War will come alive in North Creek as the Johnsburg Historical Society commemorates the 150th anniversary of the war ’s beginning in 1861, this Sept.

9-11.

On Friday, Sept. 9, there will be a program at Johnsburg Central School for students in grades 4 through 8. Professional Civil War re-enactors in period uniforms will entertain and instruct students in Army life. The program will include a drill and firearms demonstration.

Saturday, Sept. 10 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Sept. 11 at 2 p.m. local author Glenn L. Pearsall will present “Johnsburg Goes to War: 1861-1865” in the auditorium of the Tannery Pond Community Center.

During this special two hour “one man show” with extras, Glenn will share his two years' worth of research on the 125 men from Johnsburg who went off to war. His talk will feature more than 100 historic photographs including some pictures of those men from Johnsburg and the places they fought as they look today.

Re-enactors in uniform will read from the diaries and journals that Glenn discovered to give a real sense of what the war meant to small Adirondack hamlets like Johnsburg in 1861. His talk will cover Army life in the regiments who recruited men from Warren, Washington, Clinton and Essex Counties here in the Adirondacks.

From Aug. 26 to Sept. 21, the Widlund Gallery of Tannery

Pond Community Center in North Creek will feature pictures of men from Johnsburg who went off to war, including historical photographs and period flags. There will also be a display on Mathew Brady, noted Civil War photographer who was born in Johnsburg.

Several professional re-enactment groups will represent the lives of men in New York regiments. The park’s offers spacious grounds, fresh water, restrooms and ample parking.

Re-enactor Jim Hunt said authenticity is paramount. The re-enactors will camp in canvas tents, cook over campfires and dress in costume. The actors will fire weapons in demonstration and conduct military drills. They even plan to have a Civil War-era wedding that will legally unite two of their members in matrimony.

Gore Mountain prepares for ski season New snow guns, groomer

By John Grybos

GUARANTEED LOWEST INSTALLED PRICE OR YOUR At Time Of Sale TIRE IS

jgrybos@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — New equipment installations and renovations at Gore Mountain are under way for the approaching ski season.

The mountain acquired 130 new snowmaking guns. The guns, perched on permanent 30-foot towers, mix water and air for snow.

The towers will be an improvement on the ground guns they use because they consume less energy while producing snow, said General Manager Mike Pratt. The guns will also require less labor to operate.

Adding the stationary towers will enable crews to move the ground guns, which are portable, to different trails faster than they could before, opening more trails faster.

“We have a very small inventory of guns compared to the acres of terrain,” said Pratt. Freeing up the ground guns while adding the new ones should help make up the deficit.

The energy savings make the resort more sustainable, he said, and greater production should allow them to take advantage of early season in marketing and sales.

They’re working on adding 30 more towers. These would go along the Showcase Trail, and are mounted on shorter towers because the trail is along the lift line.

A new snow groomer has also been added to the ski resort’s tool set to keep the slopes smooth for skiers.

Facility improvements include a new deck with seating for more than 100 at

Rafter parking from page 1 Manager Jake Mahoney said the biggest problem was the speed of traffic. Everybody is driving the state speed limit of 55 mph when buzzing by the buses, and some are really speeding along at what looks like 65 mph, said Mahoney.

same sort that they'd launched from, he said. One person will cross the road, and everyone else will just fall in line and start following without making their own checks of traffic, worsening an already dangerous situation.

Indian Lake Town Supervisor Barry Hutchins said safety has been an issue for a long time. This initiative took a long time to reach fruition because the crossing from the river to the roadway includes private property and a railroad track.

Crossing the i’s and dotting the t’s was a lengthy process.

Sen. Betty Little helped the towns secure $30,000 in funding for the project.

With another sports season, a few reminders on behavior

W

hile all area high schools will be officially opening their doors to students in the next two weeks, many of those students have already found their way back to the facilities’ athletic fields.

Almost every sport will have started practicing for the upcoming fall 2011 high school sports season by the end of August, all with eyes on athletic excellence, quality competition and, in the case of varsity teams, a chance to chase the goal of a sectional or even state championship.

The first games are set to take place Labor Day weekend, with a full set of Northern Football Conference games on tap, quickly to be followed by the new Section VII unified soccer season and Section X soccer season, as well as the volleyball, cross country, girls swimming and cheerleading seasons.

This is just the beginning to a new year of sports in all three seasons: fall, winter and spring, where student athletes will take to the field, pool, mats and courts to try their best.

With that comes a few reminders about making sure that the student athletes, coaches and officials enjoy the season, as well as those who come to watch their children, family, friends and alma mater play.

First, when it comes to modified and junior varsity sports, let’s remember that there are no championships here. Sure, it’s nice to win, but these levels are to prepare student athletes for the varsity levels.

Coaches need to remember that these are the levels where fundamentals and implementation happen and coach accordingly. It would surprise a lot of people how many modified teams who win very few games then turn into varsity teams that wins sectional titles.

Also, this is something that parents and fans have to remember. You may question why a certain move took place, but remember that coaches on these levels are trying to give athletes as much experience as possible, which might not always be in the same interest as winning the game.

When it comes to varsity sports, make sure that the competition stays on the field. Nothing is more embarrassing than seeing fans taunt each other and opposing teams because they feel it is helping their team. It’s not. It’s embarrassing them, the

school and, more importantly, the person doing the taunting.

No one goes to work the next day and says, “Did you see how so-and-so screamed at the ref for a bad call and then ran down to the sidelines to confront the coach after the game. They have real team spirit.” Instead they say, “Did you see how so-and-so screamed at the ref for a bad call and then ran down to the sidelines to confront the coach after the game. They’re a real jerk.”

Unfortunately, this type of behavior can be promoted when people are allowed to anonymously post derogatory comments about other teams, officials and coaches on websites, or have those comments seen in print. You can’t trumpet the cause of sportsmanship in one breath and then provide a platform for malicious and hurtful speak in another.

Student athletes need to remember the same. There is no need for name-calling, derogatory remarks or insults in the midst of competition. If you think you need to do it because your sports role model does it, you have the wrong role model.

Enjoy the competition. Enjoy playing against your peers in athletic contests.

Former opponents can be close friends after the games end, and the glory days are retold to children and grandchildren, or even right after the final buzzer sounds.

This also leads to being a good sport.

There is no need to insult or talk bad about a team after a game is finished, because the game is just that — finished.

Over.

What would be great is when the endof-game lineup takes place, every player and coach meant what they said when they went through that line, instead of walking through like a zombie mumbling out, “good game” or “nice job.” Be sincere in victory and defeat.

So, to all who are ready for another scholastic sports season, here is to a safe, fun and, hopefully, sportsmanship-filled year of competition.

f it’s knot-weed, what is it? It’s not bamboo, for one thing, though it grows like it. It is the very thick shrub which is blooming in thin white arches right now along roadsides.

Japanese knotweed (Mexican bamboo) is in the buckwheat family. Years ago it was planted on purpose for vegetative barriers, but not any more! It is impossible to keep it from spreading where you don’t want it.

Mowing it year after year does not kill it.

A summer resident, a medical doctor from Massachusetts, knows what it has done to their river and stream banks — totally lining them with thick growth that crowds out all native species and blocks the view of the water. He says that 15 years ago, Vermont was in the same state of invasion as we are now in the Adirondacks, and that most of the river and stream banks there are bulging with it now. Our forest preserve is almost free of it so far, and we have a chance to keep it that way if we work on controlling it in the surrounding areas.

This heroic man has been working for years when he visits here to recruit volunteers, to document where Japanese knotweed and two other kinds are, and to find funding to hire certified herbicide applicators to shoot the stems, with “guns” calibrated to inject a certain amount of glyphosate, one stem at a time. When done in late summer and fall after the plant flowers and before frost, the substance is pulled down into the roots, and up to 95 percent are killed the first year. A second application to the few remaining plants is needed the next

’m not a control freak, but I do like to know where I’m going. So, in preparation for my first drive to Cooperstown, I consulted Map Quest and printed out directions. Everything went according to plan until we reached Fonda. We had only traveled a short distance on Rte. 5 when up ahead a police car was blocking the road.

The policewoman directed us to detour up a steep road. I was the lead car of three, and now I had no idea where I was going.

When we came to the first turn off, the second car took it. I stopped at the next driveway to ask directions. The third car pulled up alongside and asked where we were headed. When I said “Cooperstown,” he replied, “Follow me.” So I did!

I thought of Jesus who commanded peo-

year, and maybe in the third year.

Glyphosate interferes with critical enzymes in the growing plant which are needed for building proteins, and degrades quickly in the ground. It can kill many other plants too, but this injection system affects only the injected plants.

A number of us met in Blue Mt. Lake recently (an article and picture was in our paper) to draw up battle plans. That area already has two certified technicians funded to work this year. As along waterways is a high priority, if there is money and time left they may come down here to treat the huge patch in North River right on the Hudson and the one at the depot which blocks the view of the river from the concert area.

When injection treatment is going to happen that year, it is important not to cut knotweed. Because new plants can grow from tiny pieces, mowing often increases the number of stems, though it also spreads underground very prolifically. Go to www.noknotweed.org for plenty of information on what it looks like, how the treatment works and more.

Our area needs to have and fund a certified herbicide applicator so we can handle our own knotweed, especially along the Hudson and other waterways. APIPP (ADK Park Invasive Plant Program), which I have been involved with since 1998, gave a substantial grant to Inlet for this effort. It is based in Keene Valley and is a very active, effective group run by professionals who have organized a number of volunteers from all over the Park to control many aliens on the loose in these beautiful Adirondack mountains. You (or your grandkid!) can google APIPP for an amazing amount of information about our unfriendly neighbors, the Big Green Aliens. ple to follow him, and they did! This unnamed man was my temporary savior. He took us through high farm country with lovely vistas of rolling green hills. When he slowed down, I also slowed because an Amish father and his small curly-haired child headed our way in a black horsedrawn buggy. He was followed by two older kids in a second buggy.

We reached an intersection and Jesus (I was calling him that for lack of a better name) stopped. I pulled up alongside. He said, “Keep following me.” I was a believer!

The houses got closer together as we approached town. Once again my leader stopped and said we were in Ft. Plain. He pointed the direction to Cooperstown. His final words were, “All the locals take the high road.”

After thanking him, we parted ways. I was left with a very good feeling about the human race.

T

he garden is looking very summery. The rudbeckia (black-eyed susan) is a big splash in the sea of color.

The joe pye weed is glorious in its shades of pinky purple. There are lots of butterflies and humming birds.

A garden is a place to stop and observe. People miss so much if they do not take quiet time and enjoy the solitude.

When you drive by the color and beauty are visible, but the amazing earth creations are even more beautiful up close.

One of those beauties is the Hydrangea bushes. This is the season for Hydrangeas. We planted a Hydrangea tree near the arbor in memory of Joe Monroe a few years ago, and it is just beautiful. We have some bushes that came out of Marion and Joe’s yard that are doing well for the first time this

By Ski Bowl Park Gardening Group year.

Hydrangeas are the large showy flower in many older gardens. There are both bushes and trees and now with the new hybrids, the varieties are amazing. When I was younger, I was not fond of the big balloon-like flowers. My grandmother had some, and they would get all brown and messy when the flowers were spent. Gram never heard of deadheading. Now there are so many different varieties. I especially like the ones that are on Joe’s tree. They are kind of like a plume with a pointed end. When you look closer, it is flowers inside a flower. The large bloom is a mass of smaller, very dainty four-petal flowers. I have a newer hybrid of the hydrangea that starts in bloom pure white, but as the blossoms age they go from a pink to a darker maroon. It is in bloom for almost two months and the hummers love it.

I have tried to propagate the hydrangea in my yard and started with cuttings. The books say that you can root them in water or plant them in starting soil and root tone. This did not work for my variety, so I decided to take a branch and bury it in the dirt. I did this last year, and this year it seems like they have taken but I am not taking any chances. I thought that I would cut the branch to the mother bush and leave it in the ground until spring. I really want one of these in the Ski Bowl garden. Gardening takes patience, and I am not too patient sometimes.

We need to do some replanting because the deer have found our garden. The hostas are like candy to the deer. They also love the phlox and the aster. Evelyn Greene asked me if I had trimmed her asters or if it was the deer. I wish I could teach them to trim in a straight line. Gardening in the Adirondacks can be a challenge. When picking out plants, ask about deer resistance. It will save you some headaches. There are some home remedies and some sprays that you can buy in the store, but it is easier to just find plants that they do not like.

Question of the Month Mrs. Flanagan's kindergarten at Johnsburg Central responded:

Rescue squad saves the day

God’s a good guy

To the News Enterprise: This letter is to extend my thanks to the Minerva Volunteer Fire and Rescue Squad.

While recently visiting family in Minerva, my son fell out of a tree and injured his back.

The Rescue Squad was contacted and responded very promptly.

The team worked with impressive care, professionalism and speed to care for and transport him the hospital. I appreciate the dedication and commitment required for the training of the emergency responders involved. For all your time and efforts in helping others in need, I thank you. (Levi is just fine and is now anxious to climb trees again, just “not apple trees anymore.”)

Kathleen Brannon Lake Clear/Irishtown

To the News Enterprise: In reference to C. Bennet’s letter of August 20, 2011, entitled, “Jesus just wants money,” I want to respond because of my love for our Father God and to share His good news.

Bennet had one thing right, “the only person (created being) who is real and not a fake is the devil.” But he also said, “God causes people pain and suffering” which is contradicted when he said, “god does not exist.”

The Bible makes it clear. Genesis l:l-31, “In the beginning God ... God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.” I John 3:8, “He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.”

Jesus doesn’t need our money — he owns it all, Psalm 50:10. We are all sinners, but, thankfully, salvation is a free gift. Romans 6:23; “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Each person has the choice to accept or reject this gift.

There are frauds and connivers in every walk of life — even in the church. However, the “church” has been, and is, one of the major humanitarian aid donors in the world — providing assistance to those in need.

People aren’t perfect, but God is. We need to look past people and go to the source of our faith, the Holy Bible and our Heavenly Father. He hears and answers prayer.

To the News Enterprise: Well folks, you did it again! We sold out two years in a row! The North River Volunteer Fire Company and Auxiliary would like to thank everyone for their support today at our Annual Chicken Barbecue fundraiser!

A special thank you to Barton Mines for the chicken, Garnet Hill Lodge for the corn and members of the community who made and donated all the fixings! We would also like to thank Windy Baker for donating those fantastic Adirondack chairs, Judy Brown for the beautiful garnet necklace, NRFH Auxiliary and Basket Creations for the basket of cheer and Dale Monthony for the awesome maple syrup. All of which were donated items for our raffle! Thank you again everyone for your continued support!

Health and fitness without equipment getting more exercise while you’re doing something else We all know we need to keep active for the sake of health and fitness. It is hard to avoid all the messages that tout daily exercise or urge us to buy into some kind of fitness plan. Suppose we do not have time to join a gym, break out exercise videos, or even go for a walk every day. How can we exercise under those circumstances? Accumulate minutes. It doesn’t matter if you have no exercise equipment. You don’t need it to follow these suggestions.

The Surgeon General’s Report on Physical Activity and Health recommends that everyone accumulate thirty minutes of moderate intense activity every day or almost every day. “Accumulate” means that we don’t have to do it all at once. “Moderate intensity” means that we begin to feel warm and slightly out of breath as we’re doing it. You can conscientiously work toward total body fitness even without a formal daily exercise program.

It’s not practical to think of doing one minute of moderately intense activity thirty times a day. It takes more than a minute to get the heart-rate up far enough to count. But it is practical to add five or ten minutes of physical activity several times a day. Be very intentional about it, and you can you can enhance your health and fitness without completely changing your daily routine.

Most people spend most of the day either at home or at work. We can achieve the greatest improvements to health and fitness by making adjustments there. Most of us also spend time shopping or otherwise doing things somewhere else besides home or work. It should be a simple matter to apply the same principles that help enhance total body fitness to what we can do in these other places.

Exercise at home Total body fitness, of course, requires attention to what you eat and balanced daily exercise. Balanced exercise means attention to aerobic training, resistance (weight) training, and stretching. How can we work the various kinds of exercise into what we do around the house as a matter of course?

Do you have stairs in your home? Go up and down them at every opportunity. Now, I have always done that without intending to.

Wherever I am, something I want--my glasses, my shoes, my pencil--is bound to be somewhere else, likely as not upstairs or downstairs.

Once it dawned on me that my inefficiency was giving me daily exercise opportunity, I stopped getting upset with myself. Now, I will deliberately carry groceries, trash, reading material, or whatever up or down in two or more trips even if I am capable of holding it all at once. Stair climbing is a kind of aerobic exercise. Carrying something moderately heavy up the stairs adds an element of weight training--especially if we don’t just carry it, but lift it or curl it or otherwise move it around as we walk.

Whether you have stairs or not, you don’t always have to walk normally from room to room. March instead; make sure to lift your knees to about waist level. If you’ve ever marched in a band, you know you have to pace yourself to go five yards in eight steps.

You get better exercise by marching than by ordinary walking for just a little more time.

Or, for a variation, do walking lunges. Do one lunge, lift the back foot in front of you and immediately walk into another lunge on the other foot. Keep it up till you get where you’re going. Don’t worry if it feels or looks silly. You’re working on health and fitness. Whether marching or lunging, carrying something moderately heavy enhances the effect.

Do you watch television? Don’t just sit there or lie there on the couch. At least during commercial breaks, get up and march in place or do any other kind exercise: jumping jacks, lunges (including lateral lunges), pushups, sit-ups, crunches, squats, any pilates or yoga moves you know, etc. It’s also a good time to stretch This article is about daily exercise without equipment, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use it if you have some. If you have a stability ball, sit on that during the program. In fact, once you learn a number of basic exercises with it, you can do an uninterrupted exercise routine in front of the television. The same goes for resistance bands, dumbbells, and whatever other similar equipment you might have.

Whatever housework you do, from vacuuming to gardening count toward your daily exercise.

Gardening is probably strenuous enough on its own. Other activities may require some creative enhancements to turn them into exercise of moderate intensity. Use your imagination and enjoy yourself, keeping in mind the ultimate goal of total body fitness.

Minerva Youth Program sails on

By Ron Bruce denpubs@denpubs.com MINERVA — It's around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, August 9, and you're at beautiful Minerva Lake on a sunny and warm day, with a light breeze. You wander along the beach and find yourself gazing out over the water.

There they are — three small sailboats, each one cruising over the water with sails slightly billowed. There’s a feeling of competition in the air related to these boats, and you realize: the Minerva Youth Program Sailboat Regatta is taking place before your eyes!

The regatta was held with light yet steady southwest to southeast winds. Three small yachts answered the starting flag: Freginald with Cassie Pratt as captain, Sierra Galusha and Kate Wimberly as crew, and Gus Stewart as advisor; La Nota with Jon Ordway as captain and Jonathan Stark as crew; and Dally with Kaleb Davie as captain, Andrew Piper and Liam Halloran as crew, and Ron Bruce as advisor. Mike Corey and Matt Gavin operated the rescue boat.

Freginald was ahead at the start, but Dally reached the first marker buoy with the lead and held on during the downwind leg to the second buoy. Taking a starboard tack, Dally hit calm waters while Freginald took a port tack to the western shore, then came about to center lake and jumped ahead to win with a time of 17 minutes, 56 seconds.

Dally was second with a time of 20 minutes even. LaNota came in third with a time of 27

minutes, 53 seconds.

Friday, August 12 was the last day of the Minerva Youth Program for the 2011 season, and it was also the day ribbons were awarded to the sailboat crews for first, second, and third place.

Recognitions awarded were: Rigging: Crew of LaNota, first place; Crew of Dally, second place; Crew of Freginal, third place.

Attendance: Kaleb Davie and Sierra Galusha.

Improved Sailing: Cassie Pratt and Kaleb Davie.

Enthusiasm: Jonathan Stark, first place; Liam Halloran, second place.

Wind Sense: Andrew Piper.

First Junior Instructor: Jon Ordway.

Rescue Boat: Mike Corey.

The six-week Minerva Youth Program takes place every summer at Minerva Lake, and for each of the last eight years the Minerva sailing program was an eagerly-anticipated activity.

Sailing takes place on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons during the program, and each year a group of sailors take their boats out on to Minerva Lake and learn to sail under the guidance of Ron Bruce of North Creek along with Gus Stewart and other sailors from Hewitt Lake who donate their time and energy.

At right: Participants in Minerva’s sailing youth program spend some time on the water.

Newcomb to once again celebrate the historic ride of Teddy Roosevelt

By John Grybos jgrybos@denpubs.com NEWCOMB — The town's favorite president will be celebrated as the town's annual Teddy Roosevelt Weekend returns Sept. 9 through 11.

This will mark the event's 10th year, and it's been a good tool for introducing people to the town, said Paul Hai of the Adirondack Ecological Center, who is a member of the event committee.

For the past two years, and again this year, the weekend will host Teddy Roosevelt.

“We've dug him up, pumped him full of Red Bull, and he's here,” said Hai. In an effort to get Roosevelt in a different setting, Hai asked him to talk at the Interpretive Center about life as a sportsman.

As vice-president, Roosevelt was hiking Mount Marcy when he received news that President William McKinley was ailing after being shot the week prior. He then embarked on his famous night-time ride to the nearest train station, in North Creek.

The local connection to the illustrious president is memorialized with a busy weekend of activities around Newcomb.

Breakfast, dinners and lunches to benefit the local school, a golf tournament and tours of local landmarks, like the ghost town of Adirondac and Great Camp Santanoni will keep the town buzzing all weekend long. A detailed schedule of events can be found under the Events heading on www.newcombny.com.

Impersonator Joe Wiegand visits with elementary students at Newcomb Central School as President Theodore Roosevelt. Wiegand will be in Newcomb again Sept. 9 as part of the town-wide Teddy Roosevelt Weekend festivities. He entertains audiences nationwide with his program.

Benefit planned to help restore Adirondack Hotel following flood damage

By John Grybos jgrybos@denpubs.com LONG LAKE — The Adirondack Hotel suffered $130,000 in damages and lost business days after flooding this year, and the community has stepped up to organize a benefit night to aid the local landmark Sept. 24.

“At first I was a little embarrassed,” when employees and locals came to her with the idea, said owner Carol Inserra.

She has owned the building since 1990, when it was in a state of disrepair. She said the hotel's an integral part of the community, hiring 35 people in summer and making a first impression impact for visitors coming in from the direction of Tupper Lake.

The hotel lost two boilers in the basement, and the floodwaters had to be pumped out at a rate of 100 gallons a minute at the worst. There was damage to the veranda and kitchen floors because of the pumping, said Inserra. The damage isn't covered by insurance, because the water didn't rise to the first floor.

The event is scheduled for 2 p.m. to 2 a.m., with tickets priced at $30 for individuals and $50 couples. Tickets are available at The Adirondack Hotel, Natural Beauty, Shear Images and Helm's Village Store in Long Lake and The Bear Trap in Indian Lake. There will also be t-shirts and a silent auction, with music and food all day.

Inserra said the support was unexpected and generous.

Though it's a lot of work for the fundraiser, the supporters are passionate.

“It's overwhelming, really,” Inserra said, adding she's eternally grateful to the organizers and anyone who comes out for the event.

A benefit to help cover costs from flood damage at the Adirondack Hotel is planned Sept. 24, with food, music and a silent auction.

Camp life, continued L

The state’s deer plan: My two and a half cents

F

aithful followers of this column undoubtedly fell off their seats last week when I actually penned something on the state’s proposed deer management plan that was chock full of facttoids but absent of my ever-so-superfluous opinion.

Well, this week you won’t be dissapointed.

Before I smash the state Department of Environmental Conservation’s plan on the floor and jump up and down on it with football cleats, however, I first want to commend them for the effort.

Honestly, we’ve had too many knee-jerk regulations put in place in the past without a thorough process involving public input and sound science. It is nice to see wildlife managers step back and look at the broader picture in the interest of a healthier herd.

The DEC has received well over 2,000 comments on this plan over the past two years, and it appears as if they are listening to us. Recommendations like expanding youth hunting and huntable land as well as increasing crossbow use and opportunities for disabled hunters are evidence of that.

But other recommendations, while put forth with good intention, are seriously flawed in my opinion — mainly because DEC just doesn’t have the “boots on the ground” to adequately implement and track them.

They are certainly not at fault for that. If the state would free up the $26-$28 million we sportsmen have sitting in the conservation fund, perhaps the trend of not filling badly-needed positions at the DEC would end.

In the meantime, I have to question the viability of proposals like the one to switch to an across-theboard doe permit system, without enough staff in place to implement them.

There is no question that a doe permit system would require a careful tracking mechanism to determine the size of the herd in any given area to work. Currently, the DEC relies heavily on things like doe sightings reported by bowhunters when determining deer numbers, and thus how many doe permits an area can support.

I’m not so sure that type of analysis of the population is going to provide sufficient data to accurately base doe permit numbers on. I also doubt they could estimate the herd quickly enough in the spring to doll out the correct number of doe permits that fall.

Further, I know wildlife officials who would argue that deer numbers change very little from one year to the next — at least in the northern zone — even after doe harvest is allowed with primitive arms. So what exactly will be gained?

Plus, I think many northern zone hunters have the same concern as me in that very few permits would be issued here. That, to me, means less opportunities for the ever-dwindling number of folks who still hunt here. According to the state’s own numbers, deer hunting has dropped 40 percent since 1980 —

can we really afford to drive anymore away?

I just don’t think the deer population, the number of hunters or the number of antlerless deer they take during bow and muzzleloader seasons fluctuates that much, and it certainly hasn’t decimated the herd.

At the same time, I would argue that the DEC routinely underestimates the number of people who harvest deer yet fail to report their take as required — but that’s a column for another day.

Antler restrictions I’ll keep this one short and sweet — I’m not a fan of antler restrictions. I’m not a trophy hunter — never have been. Nice antlers are a bonus, but they’re really chewy no matter how thin you slice them. You want monster racks? Watch the outdoor channel.

I’m also skeptical that antler restrictions would make much of a difference in New York. Unless you’re talking about a heavily managed ranch somewhere, I’ve seen very little hard evidence that restrictions actually create more opportunity for larger racked deer, at least in the wild. In fact, I’ve read studies that say just the opposite — that removing the herd’s older deer with the best genetics can actually be detrimental to antler growth.

Meanwhile, young deer taste better and are often less apt to make it through a severe winter. This region has always been about survival of the fittest — so why harvest only the fittest?

Longer season Lastly, I just can’t bite my tongue on the proposed extension of the seasons, most of which benefits bow hunters.

Before I continue, though, I want to make one point absolutely clear — I am an avid bowhunter — I absolutely love the sport and I admire anyone with the patience and dedication to harvest a deer with a bow.

But it seems like every time the state tries to increase opportunities — youth and crossbow hunting immediately come to mind — they first have to appease the bowhunting lobby before it can be enacted.

You can’t tell me that the addition of nearly two weeks to the front end of the bow season in the southern zone, for example, wasn’t an olive branch given to bowhunters because they will have to put up with three days of youth in the woods with firearms.

An additional week of bowhunting is also proposed for the northern zone, pushing the last day of regular season to Dec. 9 and the last day of late muzzleloader to Dec. 16. I don’t know about where you hunt, but around my camp the deer are normally in their yards by then, and does are pregnant.

Is a season at that time sound science?

Here’s an idea; change the license year to allow kids in the woods before Oct. 1. Then, why not give them first crack at the forest when the deer are still in their natural patterns.

Wait a minute .... was that a collective gasp of air I just heard from the bowhunter groups?

Better tack on another week of bow or it’ll never fly.

ast week’s column about the tradition of camp life, has sparked a deluge of responses.

It appears Adirondackers are very proud of their camps, which have provided many with a connection to the land, for generations. It is also obvious that camp life continues to be a vital component of our regional identity, heritage and culture.

Undoubtedly, the charm of a camp is proportional to the simple, simplicity of it all. It involves a return to the basics, and the opportunity to escape from the intrusions and demands imposed by the social and technological constraints of modern, everyday life.

Camp life moves at a slower pace, and it occurs in a place where you can let your hair down, and be yourself.

It is a place where your stomach often aches from the combination of too much food, and too much laughter. It is where the air is always fresher, the water is cleaner and life is sweeter. It is a place to uncover new adventures, and to relive old traditions. It is where Ideally, the view from the front door of a camp, should always overlook a lake, pond or stream. we go to recover, to be Photo by Joe Hackett free and to become absorbed in a quieter, deeper, and older way of life.

Some claim that camp is not even a place, and it simply cannot be considered a physical location. Although we arrived at camp by various means of transportation, we only fully arrive by achieving the proper state of mind!

Camp is defined by a certain primitive nature and the spirit of simplicity. A camp was never intended to have electricity, a telephone, or a satellite dish located along the lakeshore. The outside world should not be allowed to violate the sanctuary of camp. If it does, it’s no longer a camp; it’s just a second home.

Even though we go to camp in order to escape the rules and routines of society, many camps have their own distinct set of rules, or an established code of conduct.

Primarily, these rules were developed for the safety of visitors to Adirondack hunting and fishing camps. However, I’d like to believe they are applicable to all camps. I’ve included several that readers have contributed, which are listed in no particular order.

A Camp Code of Misconduct Above all else, what happens in camp, stays in camp, period.

Before departing, please extinguish all fires, tie up all boats, close all windows, lock all doors and be sure to unlock the woodshed; so that your mother-in-law can leave with you.

Etiquette is not welcome here, nor are lawyers, even if they’re family.

Camp is a place where you can spit, cuss, pass gas or scratch ‘yer butt in public, and nobody cares.

Baths can only be considered an optional activity, for the first month in camp.

First one up makes the coffee, last one down stokes the woodstove, and all others do dishes.

A dish is considered clean, if the last meal eaten off of it cannot be identified. Shirts and/or pants will be held to similar standards.

Camp windows may only be broken, if the front door is stuck on Chili Night.

Socks may be utilized as toilet tissue, and shirtsleeves as a handkerchief; only if they are your own personal items.

The front porch can only be utilized as a rest room, if no women are present in camp.

For those using the top bunks, please respect the posted weight limits.

Camp members reserve the rights to use any available methods necessary to limit the decibel level of chronic snorers.

Please remove all live ammunition from trousers, before hanging them over the woodstove to dry.

Television has no place in camp, nor do telephones, cell phones or other similarly, modern conveniences. If you feel a need to communicate with the outside world, please walk outside and yell!

Forget what needs to be done tomorrow, and also what you did yesterday, ‘cuz today, you’re in camp!

Pick up your food scraps; remember mice have to eat too!

The ‘five second rule’ does not apply to beer, whiskey or chew.

The number of points on a buck’s rack, or the size of a fish taken, cannot increase by more than 33 percent per season, regardless the state of a camp member ’s intoxication.

If you become lost, fire off only three shots. Search parties are easily discouraged!

If it gets real dark inside your camp, real quick, you may need to refill the lantern.
