Long Lake budget in over tax levy cap

This Week JOHNSBURG

By Katherine Clark katherine@denpubs.com

LONG LAKE — The Long Lake budget has been approved for $4,341,179, a $156,739 increase from the 2013 budget and $66,198 above the tax cap.

Town Supervisor Clark Seaman said there were several additional expenses in this yearÕ s spending plan that put the budget over the tax cap.

Under the new spending plan, the tax rate will be $6.08 per thousand for home owners.

That would equate to $608 for a home assessed at $100,000.

“This year we had many of our homes reassessed and their assessments went down, so whenever that happens the taxes increase,” Seaman said.

“With the assessment change if the budget had remained exactly the same it would have still gone from $5.31 to $5.51 per thousand.”

Seaman said he knows voters would like to see budgets and taxes go down instead of going up but the town must maintain services to remain functional, he said.

“Given the services we offer there’s not a lot of fluff in our budget,” Seaman said. “If weÕ re going to reduce the budget weÕ d have to talk about reducing services and we donÕ t want to do that.”

The $66,198 increase comes from: $22,000 for additional pumping of the holding tank at the beach bathrooms; $10,000 in materials and labor for the water district; $10,000 for repairs to the Vietnam Memorial on Mt. Sabattis; funds for possible repair at the radio tower on Mt. Sabbatis and $10,000 to fund health insurance for a town council member.

100 snow gun salute for Gore riders

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com

JOHNSBURG — Gore Mountain Ski Center is poised to take a major investment that is expected to not only enhance family skiing opportunities, but increase the use of the North Creek Ski Bowl and boost the economy of merchants and lodging accommodations downtown.

Gore executives are planning to install no less than 100 new high-efficiency snow guns, primarily on the ski trails on the “Interconnect” route between Gore MountainÕ s primary slopes and the North Creek Ski Bowl, Gore manager Mike Pratt said Nov. 24.

Permanently installed, the guns are expected to extend skiing over the Interconnect

trails for weeks at both the beginning and the end of each skiing season, as well as enhance the skiing all season long, Pratt said.

“Gore has experienced fantastic growth since the 1990s, and the key to this was tapping the Hudson River ’s water for snowmaking,” he said.

“This next project will help maximize that resource.”

Pratt and marketing man-

ager Emily Stanton said that with the Interconnect trails bringing skiers from the slopes to the family-oriented Ski Bowl and directly to downtown North Creek, the snow gun installations should add a significant amount of business for the taverns, boutiques, restaurants and lodging venues in the historic ski town.

Now is the time for ‘Lights on’

INDIAN LAKE Ñ NovemberÕ s Indian Lake Board of Education meeting dealt with a very full agenda, including the hiring of a new law firm for the district.

The eveningÕ s meeting started off with a presentation from Attorney, Kristine A. Lanchantin from the law firm of Girvin & Ferlazzo, PC.

Lanchantin provided the board with an overview of the firm having six partners and 75 practicing lawyers. Lanchantin also specifically outlined the firm’s education practice and the 75 school districts currently represented. Lanchantin defined the firm as, “a full-service, education law firm.” Mention was also made of the personalized attention and counseling that would be afforded the district in general and

the board in particular in all aspects of education and labor law.

Lanchantin also focused attention on the fact that James Girvin, firm partner, would be available to the ILCSD account due to his concentration in education and labor law.

Now is the time for “Lights On” for North Creek businesses

NORTH CREEK — The “Lights On” Committee is once again planning for the month long celebration of the upcoming holidays and the winter ski season. Businesses are encouraged to light up their buildings with white lights, natural greenery and red bows to enhance the “lights on” theme.

For the past 24 years this committee, made up of residents and business people from the Johnsburg Community, have worked together to create a community celebration of all things winter. Matt Thomas of Frontier Communications will be hanging the community snowflakes the week before the event so we can “light up the nights.”

• Thursday, Dec. 5, is the date for the Methodist Church Tea and Bizarre. This traditional silver tee and bizarre runs from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m., allowing friends and grandmothers to enjoy a traditional silver tea with homemade tea sandwiches and cookies along with a White Elephant Table and craft sale.

• Friday, Dec. 6; enjoy the long running Community Bank Christmas Open House from noon - 3 p.m., appetizers, cookies and punch will be offered to customers • Friday Night, Dec. 6, at 5:30 p.m. will be the official lighting of the community Christmas tree which was made available by Rob Wing and family of Volt Landscaping. This event takes place in front of the Copperfield Inn at Riverfront Park. Welcome comments from Supervisor Ron Vanslow; a candle light service dedicated to our service people lead by Pastor Wayne Schoonmaker; and caroling lead by Denise and Frank Conti concluded with the playing of taps by the lone bugler are scheduled.

This year, thanks to the participation of the Saratoga North Creek Railroad the committee is adding another exciting free element to the event. In years past Santa and Mrs. Clause had always been present at the tree lighting. This year, however, children will be part of an elaborate skit. Santa and Mrs. Claus are missing, what could have happened? Elves from SNCRR will run from the train to tell the children that they know what happened to the famous pair. Their sleigh has gone down just outside of town and all the children will need to get on the train to go and “rescue” them. This exciting adventure to “Save Santa” will take children on the Candy Cane Train to rescue the couple and

Line up for this year’s Lights On parade will be from 11 - 11:30 a.m. the morning of Saturday, Dec. 7 at the North Creek Firehouse / Johnsburg Central School Parking Lot.

Seating on the Candy Cane Train is limited to 80 seats so call 251-4461 and get your child’s name on the “Save Santa” list. All adults must be accompanied by a child.

• Saturday, Dec. 7, Breakfast with Santa will once again be held at the North Creek Firehouse. All children from the surrounding area are welcome, not limited to residents of Johnsburg. Breakfast runs from 7 to 11 am. Pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, cereal, milk, juice and coffee will be served. Adults are $5 and children are $3. Breakfast for children three and under is free, and Santa will be on hand with presents for all the children. The area fire companies participating in the parade invite children to ride on the fire trucks as long as they are accompanied by an adult.

Anyone who is a part of a group or organization should start talking about being part of

ficult so without these Christmas Baskets, which contain an entire family meal, many families would not have a family Christmas dinner. The Food Pantry expects to distribute 150 baskets this year.

Donations of cookies are needed to complete the meal. Anyone able to bake cookies should drop them off on Saturday, December 14th at the United Methodist Church on 13th Lake Road in North River.

Perfect Score for North Creek Nursing Home NORTH CREEK — “No deficiencies” in any area was the recent verdict from a team of health-care experts who visited the Adirondack Tri-County Nursing and Rehabilitation Center (ATCNHRC), in North Creek.

The nursing home was surveyed Oct. 28-31 by the New York State Department of Health. This is an annual inspection, an unannounced visit by five health department professionals who look at every aspect of patient care..

Safety, cleanliness, operations and medical records are studied at each of the stateÕ s 635 skilled nursing facilities . After four days of intense

scrutiny and interviews with residents and families no deficiencies in any building area or patient procedures were found.

Hal G. Payne, administrator, stated,” I have been working in the nursing home industry for 35 years and have never been associated with a deficiency-free survey. The staff have worked hard over the past year to assure that the residents continue to receive the best care possible. I am proud to be associated with a facility that provides such a high standard of care.”

The nursing home, which opened 39 years ago, has 82 residents and employes 120

people in direct care, activities, food service, maintenance and administration. ATCNRC also provides adult day care and outpatient therapy as well as intensive therapy and beds for patients who have just undergone hip and knee replacement or other surgery that requires a transition between hospitalization and going home.

“I am amazed at the dedication of the staff of Adirondack Tri-County,” said ATCNHRC board President Karen Smith.

“This accomplishment--the truly excellent review--requires the efforts of every single one. I heartily congratulate all the staff.”

Avoid ‘charity fatigue’ this season

A

fter several false starts winter is finally upon us, and as Thanksgiving gives way to the Christmas season, it’s also time for the annual “Season of Giving,” with all of the pitfalls and pleasures that go with it.

The Christmas season is an obvious time of year to think of those in need. It’s a time of year when we give to those we love, so itÕ s natural to think of those who either have no one to care for them, or donÕ t have enough to give to the people they love. But there is a down-side to this time of giving.

The biggest is what we’ve heard called “charity burnout.”

There are literally thousands of charities, and most are very worthy and do excellent work. ItÕ s not uncommon to go to a mall or shopping center and find a bell ringer at every door, tables set up inside the mall with other worthy charities requesting donations or selling wrist bands, paper angles or the like, cashiers at many stores inquiring if you would like to donate to another worthy cause. All this comes before ever turning on the television or logging onto the internet, or stopping by your place of worship, to be barraged with even more charity requests.

ItÕ s hard to believe that anyone can make it through the holiday season without suffering charity burnout. One suggestion is to decide now, before the charity season hits full swing, how much you want to and can afford to give to charity, and decide which charities you wish to fund. Pick the one, three, or even five, charities that mean the most to you, and whose mission you most appreciate, and those will be the ones you donate to. Set that amount aside in your purse or wallet, and when you come by a worthy charity on your list, if you have money left in your budget, donate. You will be able to keep tabs on how much you are donating, and will feel at least some semblance of control over the process.

If you feel like you are giving as much as you can afford to, you will likely not feel compelled to give to everyone. Another thing to keep in mind in this season is that not all giving needs to be monetary. If you have time on a weekend or in the evening, volunteer to ring the bell, cover a shift at the local food shelf or find some other way to volunteer. Look around your neighborhood; do you have elderly neighbors who need their walkway shoveled? This will cost you nothing, but will leave you and your neighbor both with the warm glow of the season in your hearts.

This is an especially good thing to teach your children. Then your spirit of charity might end up expanding to the next generation. If you donÕ t have the time, but do plan to give monetarily, look for those charities that will help your North Country neighbors. Try to keep your money local.

While there is nothing wrong with helping someone on the other side of the world, you will likely have a more immediate feeling of giving if you knit a pair of mittens or give a new coat or toy to a North Country child.

That charity might someday get paid forward, and this region of the world will keep on being the special place to live that it has always been.

There is also nothing wrong with asking a charity how much of your contribution will stay local, or even what percentage of your contribution will go to administration as opposed to going to the needy. With something like a coat or a toy, you know that 100 percent goes to those in need.

The final thing to keep in mind, is that many, if not most, charities have needs year-round. It’s amazingly generous to serve meals to the needy on Christmas, but people are just as hungry in June. Give some thought to pacing your giving, or volunteering, to charity all year round. Then you might feel a little bit better about tempering things between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and you might be able to avoid charity burnout. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board

Ramblings

Guest viewpoint

I

recently took an amazing trip to Kenya, Africa.

It was an adventure of a lifetime. Our guides were a powerhouse of information on Kenya, the people and the incredible animals. While I found the people extremely warm and friendly, I experienced a great deal of poverty.

Perhaps in addition to sending our military to Kenya we could send educators, books and other educational tools to teach the children.

We stayed at the Sweetwaters Tented Camp and Masai Mara. Both camps were quite an experience. Marai’s varied landscape supports a variety of wildlife. Here we experienced the “Big Five” -lion, Buffalo, elephant, leopard and rhino. The “Big Five” is not based on the size of the animal but goes back to early hunting days when these 5 animals were the most prized for hunters. IÕ m ready to go on another trip to Africa. What an adventure!

he spectacular fall weather has finally succumbed to the season, and frazil ice has even formed in the Hudson. IÕ m still hoping for some Indian summer because my sprained ankle has kept me from finishing up some fall chores, including putting away the (snow-covered) plastic Adirondack chairs.

One of my last trips before the ankle accident (in the house!) was to walk the Raymond Brook trail from the Barton Mine Road to Rte. 28 near North Creek, a 4.5 mile rather rocky trail but almost all downhill. This was built by our master trail builder, retired forest ranger Steve Ovitt, as a ski trail, where rocks underfoot donÕ t matter. The three bridges are perfect for skiersÑ wide enough with snow on them and with high railings; and the trail is wide enough for good skiers. (I did a similar route centuries ago in deep, powder snow but it’s out of my league now.)

I figured it would take a couple hours as, after all, nothing would be growing or singing or buzzing any more. Ha, it still took over four hours because there were so many interesting things to look at, puzzle over, and photograph. Dusk was settling in before we got to the “spotted” car. The open hardwood forest has magnificent white ash, sugar maple, basswood, yellow birch and bigtooth poplar trees, some of which “needed” to be measured. Because many massive deadfalls are lying on the ground pointing in different directions I would say this is an old growth area, or close to it. They were not all blown down at once in a hurricane but died of old age one at a time.

The strangest thing was a big downed log, I think yellow birch, with what looked like long, soggy white sheepÕ s wool hanging down from its heartwood. What on earth?? I sent a picture of it to a professional botanist and forester. He was at first puzzled too, but he went for a walk in his backyard woods and saw what seemed like the same phenomenon, a first for him too. We think we know what caused it now, but I need to get back there to look at it again.

Another short trip was with friends and a man who is documenting old growth white pines wherever they grow naturally in this country, which is from Maine to northwest Iowa (hard to imagine!). We started on a trail into the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness where he measured the height of some impressive pines using a nifty little laser device that can focus on the highest twig and give the exact distance to it. He then measures the distance horizontally from where he is standing to the tree and can determine the height. He also measured the circumference of the tree about four feet above where he imagines the seed started growing. Here and at Pack Forest we measured a half dozen trees over 140 feet, and a couple of those over 150 feet, the holy grail for white pines these days.

Scientists are trying to develop formulas for different tree species which will give an estimate of their total biomass, though for some species the size of the crown is important too.

Other scientists can then estimate the carbon these mature trees “sequester” and compare this number with how much clearcut lands with replanted trees sequester. They are learning that even massive trees continue adding girth and height as long as they live and are excellent carbon sinks. Google “Native Tree Society” for this man’s club of lovers of trees too big to hug!

This fall I also fit in a short, easy trail Steve built this summer, a loop for mountain bikes which goes off of the Ski Bowl loop trail. It winds down, around, and up through big oaks and hemlocks, and past the biggest hop hornbeam I have ever seen, linking back up with the main trail, which passes big white pines and has a wonderful view of Moxham Mt. The new loop will be a fun snowshoe trail to look for animal tracks this winter (or to use ice creepers on if there isn’t enough snow again this winter) and a great ramblers’ trail to look for flowers, mushrooms, birds and more mysteries next spring.

There was no snow but very chilly. Keitan was just old enough for his small game license and killed a squirrel.

He dressed it out and it was cooked. then he tanned the hide. Roy Millington had taught him out to tan. After the meal Keitan, Derek and Keisha went across the road and play tag among the pines. Oh, so many years ago.

Lloyd Burch and Willie Ordway stopped by to chat. Nicole Kenyon came with her grandpa Leon Galusha. Fred Allen and two of his New Jersey friends were there. Alonzo and Fabiann there also to enjoy the family gathering.

Archery in schools program hits bullseye Recently, the the International Bowhunting Organization (IBO) and the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) announced the two organizations would be launching a “NASP IBO 3D Challenge” at next year ’s NASP Nationals.

The wildly, successful program recently established a Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of archers in a single location at last years at the National Archery in the Schools National Championships..

For archery enthusiasts, the opportunity for youth to participate in IBO 3D competitions will allow to more kids to get involved in the sport of the archery.

For several years there has been growing interest among the NASP leadership and the IBO to provide students with a 3D venue for national competitions.

Recently, the International Bowhunting Organization (IBO) and the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP®) announced they will launch the “NASP® IBO 3D Challenge” at next year ’s NASP® National Tournament which draws over 10,000 young archers to participate in the annual event.

While the bullseye tournaments have proven popular, the 3D Tournaments are wildly entertaining, as participants target full size, foam animal replicas (3D targets).

ecently, while driving through the Wilmington Notch, I noticed a couple of guys wading across the Trophy Trout section of the West Branch of the Ausable River.

It seemed unusual to anyone on the river without a flyrod in hand, especially when considering that stretch of river remains open to fishing all year round.

I got a closer look as they reached the far bank and I realized they were carrying rifles.

Obviously, the hunters were headed off to hunt the other side of the river, which surprisingly is not so commonly practiced in a region laced with with a multitude of lake, rivers, streams and ponds.

They were wading over to the far side of the river to hunt their own deer, to where most others donÕ t bother to go. ItÕ s likely they enjoyed a wide swath of territory that is lightly hunted and the deer arenÕ t pressured.

The advantages are significant. With fewer hunters there is less pressure, and deer are likely to be less wary.

I know many hunters who use boats or canoes to access their hunting camps. It is a traditional component of the Adirondack culture, where guideboats and canoes have long provided lightweight, portable transportation, primarily on the lakes and ponds.

It makes it a whole lot easier to haul in camp supplies, and to haul out game, both of which travel more efficiently in the bottom of a boat than on on your shoulders.

ItÕ s also easier to transport a 200-pound deer in the bottom of a boat, than it is to drag it for miles.

One the primary benefits of hunting areas that are boat access only is the distinct lack of competition. Locating such a place can be pretty simple, and it can usually be accomplished while enjoying a bit of spring trout fishing.

The possibilities for finding a place all to yourself are seemingly endless. While there are many camps located along major rivers such as the Hudson, the Schroon, the Grasse and the Raquette; there are still thousands of miles of lesser rivers and streams that are rarely prospected by hunters.

Over the years, IÕ ve floated the Boquet River during the hunting season several times, and though I saw deer, I never had the opportunity to take a shot.

River corridors also create convection cur-

Grimes, “NASP® has no intention of modifying its wildly successful bullÕ s eye tournament competitions.” The bullseye format is currently practiced in more than 12,000 NASP® schools across 10 countries by nearly 2.5 million students per year.

However, the IBO 3D competitions are considered a more entertaining venue as archers take aim at full size replicas of bear, deer, coyote and other game animals.

According to Grimes, “In every survey conducted among NASP® students over the past 12 years, kids tell us they just want to have as much fun as possible in archery,” says Grimes. “They report that shooting arrows is the most fun but practicing and competing with their new archery friends is also important. A majority of students (56 percent) also advise they want to know more about bowhunting.

An online survey of students involved in the National Archery in the Schools Program conducted by the Easton Foundations in 2012 indicated nearly nine of ten participants enjoy the program and almost half have their own bows.

- Of the 1236 survey participants, 46 percent (569) presently own archery equipment, with 44 percent (198) indicating they purchased the equipment prior to taking part in NASP and 56 percent (251) saying they purchased bows after beginning NASP. - A total of 18 percent (200) of those completing the survey indicated they have purchased a hunting license.

- Given a choice, a total of 88 percent of those surveyed said the either “liked” or “loved” shooting archery in NASP. - Further, one-quarter (25 percent) of those surveyed said they have visited a lo-

rents, which helps dissipate human scent.

As water flows downstream, air currents flow upstream which makes it easier to fool a deer Õ s nose.

S a n d y riverbanks also capture evidence of tracks, stream crossings and runways, which provide hunters with a potential location for a stand.

Yet, the most distinct advantage is likly the lack of competition. Fewer hunters means less pressure. Deer are likely to be less wary, and the chances of encountering other hunters is diminished if you travel over to the “Far Side.”

Take a winter walk at Adirondack Center

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com NEWCOMB — As the temperature drops and the snow begins to fall the Adirondack Interpretive Center wants people to know that the Adirondack wilderness has much to offer in the wintertime.

“When the snow is on the ground it’s the best time of year to see what animals are out running around and where they are going,” said Frank Morehouse, program manager at the Adirondack Interpretive Center.

Morehouse and Kristin Pasquino will lead weekly “Tracking Life in Snow” walks through the 3.5 miles of trails on the AIC grounds every Tuesday in December starting Dec. 3 from 11 a.m. to noon.

“We’ll walk wherever seems to have the best conditions for tracking,” Pasquino said.

The walks will be held on snow, or on bare ground, Morehouse said.

“If there isn’t any snow we’ll still hold the walks and look for tracks in the mud maybe,” said Morehouse. “If there is enough snow weÕ ll be able to bring out the snowshoes for our guests.”

Some of the animals that make tracks this time of year can be spotted during the walks, Morehouse said, including deer, squirrels, minks, weasels, and possibly an occasional otter slide.

“Definitely a lot of mammals running around you donÕ t always know what your going to find,” Morehouse said.

The walks are free and appropriate for all ages.

“It’s a great event for the whole family,” Morehouse said. “We want to show people just because it is winter doesnÕ t mean the only thing to do is curl up in front of a fire. Wildlife is out there.”

The winter walks will continue through the month. In January, Morehouse said the walks will change to study live animals in the area on Thursdays.

“We’ll set live traps the evening before and then when our guests come out they can check the traps with us,” Morehouse said.

Animals caught will be the focus of educational discussions led by Morehouse and Pasquino.

“It’s a chance for people to see the small mammals that live under the snow so weÕ ll be able to share that with out guests,” Morehouse said. “It’s always fun to see live animals.”

After the lessons, Morehouse said the animals are released as close to where they were trapped as possible.

For more information call the AIC at 582-2000.

Guess what the Pickle Ladies Inc. are pickling now

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE — With a “If it can be pickled we’ll pickle it” attitude the Adirondack Pickle Ladies Inc. is in business and bringing an assortment of pickled creations and fresh baked pies and breads to the Indian Lake community.

The Pickle Ladies sell everything from pickled apples to pickled kielbasa. Some of their unique creations are garlic dill pickles. Other adventurous pickled concoctions include pickled asparagus, dilly beans, pickled kielbasa, hot turkey gobblers, pickled eggs, pickled beets, bread and butter pickles, giardiniera, green tomatoes, apples, garlic, onions, and jalapenos.

For baked goods they have an assortment of cheesy, garlic breads that change daily with special ingredients like sun dried tomatoes, jalape– os, rosemary and kalamata olives. The ladies also make fresh pies such as pumpkin, blueberry, peach and mixed berry.

The company is a spin-off of The Adirondack Pickle Lady run by Heidi Plumley.

“I’ve been cooking for about 30 years and canning for 20,” Plumley said. “I was operating my business by cooking in other licensed kitchens and I just really wanted to open my own business.”

To bring the company to life, Plumley partnered with Gwen Messesmith to open their business at 6325 Route 28.

Plumley said, with Messesmith’s partnership, she finally had what she needed to bring the business to life.

“We used to work together and I thought she would make a great business partner,” Plumley said. “She was a bookkeeper so that’s invaluable to the business now and we both do the baking and pickling.”

Most North Country businesses don’t choose The North Creek United Methodist Church again invites everyone to their annual Christmas Tea and Bazaar on Thursday, Dec. 5 from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the church which is located across from the Community Bank on Main Street.

Fancy sandwiches, cookies and tea will be served for a donation.

It is a great social occasion for old friends and new to get together, relax and get a jump on their holiday shopping. Helene Goodman’s popular jewelry will again be featured. Homemade candies, wonderful fudge and breads will be available. There will also be decorations for sale and Terry Waterston’s white elephant Christmas table. Pictured here: Terry Waterston and Linda Culver man the Christmas elephant booth at the North Creek Methodist Church Christmas Tea and Bazaar in 2012.

to open in the off-season when summer tourists have gone home but Plumley said she isn’t worried.

“We’re starting out at the worst time but I think we’re going to be alright,” Plumley said.

Regardless of their timing, the duo have had an exciting start and the business has gone steady since.

“We opened the store on Oct. 27 right on Main Street, we had been at Harvest Fest at Gore Mountain the week before and had com-

pletely sold out of all products,” Messesmith said. “So on opening day we were still working on restocking our inventory while serving our new customers.”

The business, located on Main Street next to the community bank, is an open floor plan where customers can smell the fresh baked breads as they come out of the oven and even watch Plumley and Messesmith canning and pickling in the kitchen.

“The store has quite the Adirondack feel to it, weÕ ve found pickling items to decorate the walls and around the store,” Messesmith said.

“People can also get a show when they come in.

If we are working they can see us baking and pickling.”

Messesmith said some of their concoctions are different but people are welcome to try anything at the store. Also they are always trying to come up with new ideas.

“We’re always up for suggestions if people have an idea,” Messesmith said. “We can’t say yes to everything but we’d love to hear them.”

Plumley said they are trying new things everyday and hope to do a line of jams and sauces to sell.

“We’re also looking to expand by building a website so we can get our products to more people,” Plumley said.

Common Core criticized at Schroon Lake education forum State officials hear complaints from parents, teachers, school leaders

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — The Common Core learning standards are not popular in the North Country.

About 300 people attended a forum on the education program with state officials in Schroon Lake Nov. 20, delivering a clear message — they don’t like efforts to standardize learning across the country.

John King, state education commissioner, Merryl Tisch, state board of regents chancellor, state Sen. Betty Little and Assemblyman Dan Stec listened as 48 people criticized the Common Core, which was adopted by the state in 2010 and is now being implemented.

While everyone supported improved education, no one supported implementation of the Common Core.

The Common Core curriculum, which lays out what and how students should learn, has been adopted by 45 states at the urging of the federal government, which gives states “Race to the Top” money if they participate. It’s critics claim Common Core takes control away from local schools and teachers, while assuming all students learn the same way.

The Common Core, standardized testing and KingÕ s presentations have created controversy. Parent groups across New York have been critical of the new standards and the New York State Assessments, which were revised to align with the Common Core. Low scores on the 2013 assessments raised concerns.

Unlike a forum in Poughkeepsie, where King was shouted off the stage, the Schroon Lake event was civil. Speakers were required to register in advance and were limited to two minutes. State officials did not directly address any speaker.

Kyle Lang, a Ticonderoga English teacher, said the Common Core curriculum discourages reading. He pointed to the seventh grade

Snow guns

Continued from page 1 “Our impact on North Creek businesses is very dramatic and very real,” Pratt said, noting that 160+ businesses now advertise with them, seeking the patronage of Gore’s many thousands of skiers annually. “Maximizing this impact is our goal.”

Last year, the Interconnect trails opened Jan. 1 following heavy snows right after Christmas. Two years earlier, they opened at the end of January.

Pratt said that he envisions that with the new equipment, the Interconnect trails can be open for Christmas most every year.

Pratt said the new snow guns that Gore has been purchasing are tubes that are 10 to 20 feet tall, and use far less electricity than the traditional models with huge mobile fan-driven guns, which were moved from one spot to another on the trails. Gore presently has 400-plus snow guns total for all their slopes.

The cost of purchasing and installing the 100 new snow guns is set at $380,000, with $25,000 of that sum

LL budget

Continued from page 1 At the beach, Seaman said a new holding tank the town installed about a year ago needed to be emptied every month last summer.

“They were pulling out about 4,000 gallons every week between June and September and in October about 2,000 gallons of waste,” Seaman said. “Now that weÕ re capturing everything weÕ re pumping significantly more.”

The 30-year-old Vietnam Memorial, a replica of the Vietnam Wall, is a block wall covered in a facade of decorate stone and adorned with plagues. Due to pressure the wall is in danger of loosing shape. Seaman said the funds will hopefully allow the town to build a retaining wall and work with the American Legion for fund raising to repair the structure.

Another added expense is for the re-

English plan that calls for students to spend 10 weeks reading a book on the second Sudanese civil war. Ten weeks is too long to hold student interest, he said, especially in a topic they don’t care about. Without Common Core, he said, students could read several books in 10 weeks on a variety of topics.

“I haven’t encountered anything in my 13 years (as a teacher) that’s a greater deterrent to reading,” Lang said. “We shouldn’t be making education decisions in corporate offices.”

Common Core provides teachers with specific, daily lesson plans for students. King said those plans are optional and local schools can make their own plans.

Several teachers and school administrators challenged that assertion. While the lesson plans may be optional, the mandatory standardized tests in Common Core are based on the lesson plans. Not following the lesson plans could lead to poor scores on tests, which are used to evaluate students, teachers and schools.

Sarah Fink, a Minerva teacher and parent, questioned the financial wisdom in following the Common Core. Minerva Central School, she said, got $8,000 in “Race to the Top” money for Common Core, but lost $800,000 in state aid during the past four years.

“The state must decide to adopt a budget that fully funds the initiatives for which it advocates so strongly,” she said. “Schools need sufficient time and resources to build the capacity that it will take to uphold the promise at the root of the Common Core. There needs to be a moratorium on high-stakes testing and accountability until the state agrees to restore the funding lost to the Gap Elimination Adjustment and correct the inadequacies in the state aid formula that only further disadvantage our rural Adirondack schools.”

Many people objected to the “one size fits all” approach of Common Core.

Dan D’Agostino of Schroon Lake told state officials he may take his children out of public school because of the Common Core. He said itÕ s wrong to expect every student to meet the same standards.

“Success in life is determined by a person’s ability to better themselves,” he said, “not by

paid with Warren County bed tax receipts. Core members of the county Occupancy Tax Committee met about two weeks ago and endorsed Pratt’s request of $25,000 in full. The projectÕ s cost is to be offset by a $190,000 rebate from National Grid for using energyefficient equipment Pratt said. The net cost to the state’s Olympic Regional Development Authority is $165,000, according to Gore’s bed tax application, which notes that Gore has about 500 employees, and the new equipment provides the ski center with a crucial competitive advantage. It also states that four new internationally-sanctioned ski events are planned, and they are expected to attract skiing enthusiasts from all over the eastern U.S. The full Occupancy Tax committee is to meet at 10 a.m. Dec. 3 to give final review to all pending requests for bed tax receipts.

Johnsburg Supervisor Ron Vanselow praised the project and said the countyÕ s anticipated contribution of $25,000 was a good investment.

“This project should substanitally increase the use of the Interconnect and bring more skiers downtown,” Vanselow said. pair of the radio tower on Mt. Sabbatis.

The allotted $10,000 has been put aside in the event an easement agreement could be made between the town and local landowner, John Adams.

“The money could be used to remove or repair the electrical wires on the property there,” Seamen said.

The radio tower was built in 1979. It sits on private property owned by the Touchette family, Seamen said, which is only safely accessible from Adams property via an access road which crosses Adams property. The electrical cords are laid out on the ground along Adams property.

“The tower is on Touchette’s property and Adams property sits between the tower and town property,” Seamen said.

Adams is asking for the electrical cords to be brought up to code and safely removed from the surface of his property and that the cords be moved to go along the access roads.

a state mandate.”

Others criticized the Common Core for its emphasis on math and reading.

Jane Claus of Schroon Lake believes the Common Core is shortsighted in its treatment of art, music and other subject areas.

“The arts seem to be minimalized every time something new comes out,” she said.

“It’s the arts that make us human.”

The Common Core applies to all New York students, including special education students, several speakers pointed out. That means special needs students are taking the same standardized tests as high-achieving performers.

A Queensbury mother of a special education students was in tears as she described her daughter pulling out her own hair because of “test stress.”

“These tests aren’t showing us what our kids know,” she said. “They’re telling us what they don’t know. They (students) feel like failures.”

King later admitted changes need to be made to Common Core to accommodate special ed students.

“We’ve made some adjustments,” he said.

“We’ll continue to make adjustments.”

King said the Common Core is needed because New York students arenÕ t well prepared for college and careers following high school.

He pointed to statistics showing New York in the middle of states in educational performance.

“The Common Core reflects the knowledge and skills our students need,” King said.

“It’s been developed with extensive research.

ThereÕ s a lot of evidence to support the use of Common Core.”

Several people compared the Common Core to the federal Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. While the intention may be good, its implementation fails, they said.

“The Common Core roll out has been dismissal,” Rick McClintock, a Ticonderoga math teacher, said. “Parents, teachers, school boards are questioning the Common Core. We need the state education department to restore our confidence in them.”

John Armstrong, Schroon Lake school

ILCS

Continued from page 1 districts served and made the decision to hire Girvin & Ferlazzo, PC as attorney for the district.

Lawrence J. Ringer, CPA was on hand to review the district’s Annual Audit and Report. In summarizing the audit findings, Ringer stressed that the district was, “in decent shape” as districts go these days.

He went on to explain that many of the districts are “handcuffed” and facing much in the way of nonfunded mandates from the state. He counseled that having flat year-to-year budgets in this circumstance quite often further shackles districts when faced with unexpected expenses as a result of mandates. Ringer said districts are far better off when having an increase in budget each year so that they may be better prepared fiscally to meet the unexpected.

Ringer closed by saying,”but I don’t have to face the taxpayers” in recognition of the position that school boards find themselves in because of today’s fiscal climate.

Board President, Jon Voorhees, opened the next segment of the meeting with a mention that the grant submitted for the installation of a pellet boiler in the school may be awarded soon.

School Superintendent Mark Brand said the decision could be known as early as the end of November.

A grant is expected to cover 75 percent of the cost of installation. With these and other needed projects in mind, representatives from Bernier Carr and Associates, P.C. (BCA), a provider of architectural and engineering services, were invited to be on hand to provide a first blush look at timing and budgeting based on their recent experiences managing similar projects.

Voorhees remarked that the district and board need to be prepared for a number of eventualities surrounding the installation of a pellet boiler and other potential projects defined by the board, by Brand and school engineering staff as being needed in the coming years.

After reviewing the timing and costs provided in the presentation by BCA, discussion ensued surrounding the nature of how such boilers work, particulars and obstacles to be overcome with such an installation and the expectations for associated labor and operational costs for such boilers vs. fuel savings. Given the fact that a number of other school districts have installed pellet boilers over the past years, the decision was made that members of the board and staff will correspond and visit these districts in the near future to assess the operation of pellet boilers, and learn from the experiences of these districts.

BCA was directed to narrow their focus to the pellet boiler project, the installation of a generator and remaining asbestos abatement. They were asked to revise their proposal based on the discussions during

board president, agreed.

“There are some good ideas in the Common Core,” he said, “but the process is poorly done.”

Paul Berry, Hadley-Luzerne school superintendent, suggested the Common Core implementation be delayed.

“As you can see from the revolt, the roll out has been unsuccessful,” he said. “Educators agree with the mission, but give us more time.”

A number of people asked why the public forums were being held three years after the state adopted the Common Core. Why wasn’t public input sought before making a decision, they wondered. Several charged the forums are simply attempts are improved public relations.

“I truly hope you are listening,” Shawn Baker of Schroon Lake told state officials.

“From your body language I don’t believe you give two hoots.”

Each official promised they were listening and cared about the comments from speakers.

Teresa Cheetham-Palen, president of the Keene school board, told the panel the Common Core is unnecessary. North Country schools are successful and meet all state standards.

“We graduate 99 percent of our students.

They go on to college and jobs. They lead happy and successful lives,” she said. “Now, all the sudden, we’re told we’re failing.”

Little expressed some reservations about the Common Core and said she supports North Country schools.

“I’m very proud of the schools I represent,” Little said. “I think they do a good job.”

Stec was cheered by the crowd when he acknowledged his concerns with the Common Core.

“It’s certainly captured the attention of New Yorkers,” Stec said. “I’m concerned about its affect on innovation, out-of-the-box thing and imagination in our schools. I know itÕ s very frustrating to our parents and teachers. The teachers in the North Country are first-rate.

“If I were king for a day,” he said, “I would take a step back and re-evaluate the Common Core.”

the meeting and in the case of the boiler project; BCA is to look into eventualities and options if the pellet boiler grant is not awarded. The firm was asked to present a revised proposal by the December and /or January board meetings.

Following the BCA presentation and ensuing discussions, ILCS science teacher Sandra Bureau, previewed an audio video presentation put together for the board as a project to express her appreciation to the school board. After the preview that entailed the viewing of part of the program, each member of the board was presented with their individual copy of the program on DVD. After the board appreciation presentation, the members reconvened in one of the schoolÕ s science laboratories for an overview of the middle school and high school science program by science teachers Sandra Bureau and Emily Stephan. The teachers provided a look at the science program as it exists now and as it will be with expected changes in the future. As part of the presentation, copies of the New York State Science Education Consortium’s position paper regarding Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) were made available to the board members. The position paper outlines the general acceptance by the Consortium of the NGSS “as a promising vehicle for implementing [needed] change.” The paper goes on to say that at the outset, “any significant reform in science education must be accompanied by review and revision to existing policies and regulations governing K-12 science education in New York State so that the reform can be enhanced rather than compromised.”

Assuming that such a review and revision takes place, the Consortium conditionally recommends adoption of NGSS by New York State with a set of specific caveats put forth to ensure a successful adaptation and adoption. The paper closes with the message that, “A thorough and successful implementation of a New York State version of the NCSS will require an ambitious and sustained initiative and the resources to support this initiative.”

Following the science program presentation, the board reconvened in the cafeteria where ILCSD Principal, Dave Snide reported on the growing adult education, distance learning and community activities in the school. Snide also provided the board with an overview of the stability ball use in the school and requested the expansion of the use of stability balls into grade 2. The board approved the request.

With regard to the new security system, Brand announced that the system is indeed in place and will be activated during the first week of December.

Before adjourning, the board approved the appointment of Caylan Evelyn LaPrairie to the position of substitute teacher.

The next public Board of Education meeting will be Dec. 17 at 7 p.m. in the school cafeteria.
