Moose Fest on tap this weekend in Indian Lake jgrybos@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE — The Moose Fest date is mooving closer , with a second year of festivities planned for Sept. 24 and 25. Ed Reed, wildlife biologist with the state Department of Envir onmental Conservation, will give a

talk on the habits and lives of the beasts, “Moose on the Loose in the Adirondacks.” Reed said that the park’s population of moose increases at about 15 percent annually. The animals began coming back to the area in the early 1980s, and curr ent estimates put their numbers at 800 to 1,000 parkwide. Moose are fun to watch, but Reed

Stay a good 100 yar ds away fr om the critters when spotted in the wild, suggested Reed. “Fifty yar ds is getting a little close.” Figuring out the best way to see a moose can be tricky, said Reed. Many moose sightings are in private wilderness areas, like logging properties, making amateur sightings difficult. CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

warned that they’re not as congenial as they might seem. “They’re not friendly, they’re unafraid,” he said. “They kind of look dopey and slow, but they’re actually a lot more dangerous than bears,” said Reed. More people die from moose encounters than bear encounters in the grizzly-populated Alaskan wilderness, said Reed.

NORTH CREEK — Don Filkins uncovered blemishes great and small in ma ny o f Johnsburg’s town buildings, and hosted a slideshow at the Sept. 20 town meeting to magnify the pockmarked paint and sagging siding. Town board member Gene Arsenault said, “It’s disappointing and embarrassing to see our town buildings in this condition.” A r etired contractor with 40 years of experience, Filkins said talks with Town Supervisor Sterling Goodspeed encouraged him to do a thor ough check of the buildings the town owns, and bring a r eport to the board. Unhappy with the condition of the buildings, Filkins said, “If you’r e going to complain, you’ve got to step up to the plate.” Most of the maintenance that needs doing on these buildings is the sort of thing most p eople d o a round t he house, said Filkins, like fresh paint for structures exposed to the elements or a disinfectant scr ubbing for mold- and moss-covered walls. The T annery Pond Community Center has a section overgrown with ivy . Once the ivy gets onto a structure,
