thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — While some people are muttering about an uncertain economy, Warren County is experiencing booming retail sales.

How much of a boom?

The county’s sales tax revenue for 2012 is likely to be the highest on record, county Treasurer Michael Swan predicted on Monday Dec. 24.

As of this last week, the county collected $42,613,546 with several weeks of 2012’s revenue not yet collected or reported. The hefty sum represents a $1.1 million yearto-date increase over 2011, or a 2.9 percent hike.

A total of $3,309,384 was collected on November ’s sales, a solid increase over 2011.

Warren County’s leaders budgeted $42.1 million in sales tax revenue for 2012, and with a month yet uncollected, the revenue has already surpassed 2012’s total by $500,000.

The total sales tax revenue is likely to be as much as $47.2 million, granting a $5.1 million surplus to county residents. Half of the sales tax revenue the county receives is paid out to the local towns, and the other half is retained by the county.

If the $47.2 million total is attained, as county leaders now predict, it will be one of

Gore opens Ski Bowl Park for season Cross-country ski, snowshoe trails added

By Andy Flynn andy@denpubs.com

NORTH CREEK — The Gore Mountain ski center opened the Ski Bowl Park’s tubing run for the season on Dec. 21 and the Village Slopes for skiing and snowboarding on Dec. 26. But not everything at Gore this past week

went as planned.

Johnsburg Town Supervisor Ron Vanselow was scheduled to be the honorary guest for the official “Blessing of the Skis and Boards” Friday afternoon, Dec. 21 at Gore Mountain. Steady rain, however, dampened spirits and the event was cancelled, according to Gore Marketing Manager Emily Stanton.

Nothing got blessed.

“Although, the snow gods must have heard something,” Stanton said the morning of Wednesday, Dec. 26, as Gore Mountain and the rest of the East Coast braced for the first major winter

storm of the season.

The winter storm warning was in effect from 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 26 through 7 a.m. Friday, Dec. 28. Meteorologists were forecasting 8-16 inches of snow in the North Creek region.

Gore has made a lot of headway this past week, opening new trails and lifts, and this fresh dumping of snow is expected to open even more terrain.

“We’ll just evaluate after the snow comes through,” Stanton said, adding that the snow could help open up some of the glades and connector trails.

By Andy Flynn andy@denpubs.com ALBANY — Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo Dec. 19 announced that $738 million has been awarded through Round Two of the Regional Economic Development Council initiative.

“For the second year in a row, the Regional Councils have been on the forefront of rebuilding New York State's economy,” Cuomo said. “For too

many years, top-down economic development policies have failed communities across the state and not truly invested in the unique resources and strengths of each of New York’s regions. The strategic plans created during this process have given each region a comprehensive, locally created plan for future economic growth.”

The goal of the program is to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to put New Yorkers back to work and rebuild our economy.

Statewide, a total of $738 million was awarded for 725 economic development projects in every

region of New York state.

New York Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) said more than 50 projects in her 45th Senate District were awarded state funds on Dec. 19.

“Strengthening our economy is a top priority I share with Gov. Andrew Cuomo,” said Sen. Betty Little. “The regional economic development councils are ensuring that the state’s economic development funding priorities are locally determined.

Indian Lake School Board stresses creativity for survival

By Bill Quinlivan

newsenterprise@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE — Today’s school budgetary environment weighed heavily on the minds of Indian Lake School Board members during their monthly meeting Tuesday, Dec. 18.

The regular ongoing budgetary items are the more easily identifiable and easier to forecast with regard to monetary needs. The non-recurring, larger, plant, equipment and maintenance needs are more difficult to forecast and can contribute to major budgetary emergencies. They are the issues that make budgeting as much art as science and require contingency planning.

For this reason, the board received a verbal report from both George Virgil and Jeremy Monthony providing a general overview of transportation and maintenance operations issues and needs both for the foreseeable future. The board heard of a number of issues that will need to be addressed in the future including boiler replacement (with or without the biomass boiler grant), replacement of a 1964 dishwasher for which parts are no longer available, need for an adequate faculty parking lot surface, replacement of plumbing lines in various areas of the building, the aging nature and growing shortcomings of a 12 year old tractor, gymnasium floor maintenance and other capital needs.

With each issue, the board discussed potential ways to address each need to ensure the availability of the utility each item provides. Board members related a recent report that suggested that 41 percent of districts feel that they could be bankrupt within the next two years.

Jon Voorhees, Board president, said that he did not believe that this district is among that 41 percent, but alluded to the fact that with the tax cap, ”it will be tough to get budget for these capital expenditures. We need to continually think outside of the box if things break down.”

Some of this outside-the-box thinking was reflected in the discussions that took place during the meeting. Contingencies consisted of leasing options, outsourcing services, district partnering, cooperation with town

and county services and others.

Attention turned to the fact that the surprise asbestos abatement during the current building construction project has eaten up the funds needed for the generator necessary to make the building an emergency shelter.

Discussions ensued surrounding the potential receipt of the grant for the biomass boiler and how the savings in energy that such a boiler should provide could save the amount necessary to cover the generator.

School Superintendent Mark Brand made

the proposal that perhaps there will be an opportunity to package a new funding request for the generator and remaining asbestos abatement and go to the voters explaining that the biomass boiler savings is expected to eventually recoup these expenditures to the budget of future years.

Voorhees summarized the tenor of the evening’s meeting when he said, “There is a movement afoot to consolidate (districts) …

We need to be creative to survive.”

NORTH CREEK — Creative Stage Lighting recently provided crew and lighting for the first annual City Bisco festival.

City Bisco took place Oct. 5-6 at the Mann Center in Philadelphia, Pa. The festival featured music by The Disco Biscuits, Diplo, RJD2, Aeroplane, Cinnamon Chasers, The Manhattan Project, Wyllys and more.

Creative Stage Lighting provided stage and lighting equipment including an Avolites Diamond 4 Elite for lighting control, MA Lighting Grand MA 2 Light for video control, JB-lighting JBLED A7s, Clay Paky Sharpys, Martin Mac IIIs, High End Systems TechnoArcs and Cyberlights, Martin Atomic 3000 strobes, Altman Phoenix ellipsoidals, Ultratec G3000 foggers, LeMaitre Radiance Hazers, Columbus McKinnon chain hoists, and Tyler Truss. The production was powered by Creative Stage Lighting’s EPS portable power distribution and tied together with Dura-Flex cable.

Creative Stage Lighting crew included crew chief Paul Mundrick and lighting technician Josh Gezzi. Mike Polans served as production manager. Lighting design was by Johnny R. Goode III.

Kidsville News, Denton Publications receive Sen. Paul Simon award ELIZABETHTOWN — The prestigious Senator Paul Simon NYS Friend of Foreign Language Award was given this year to Dan and Gayle Alexander along with Brian Gay of Denton Publications for their work with Kidsville News of Northern New York.

The Senator Paul Simon NYS Friend of Foreign Language Award is given to a person or organization that is not a teacher of a foreign language, but has nonetheless championed the cause of furthering the teaching the foreign languages. This award, formerly known as the NSYALFT Friend of Foreign Language Award, was dedicated to one of the group’s greatest supporters, the late Senator Paul Simon, in 2004.

Kidsville News of Northern New York is a monthly children’s newspaper delivered to the children in grades K-5 throughout the North Country and published by Denton Publications of Elizabethtown. Since April of 2007 the children of the region have enjoyed this educational resource that teaches the love of reading with the help of Truman, an 8-year-old green dragon.

Dan Alexander, owner and publisher of Denton Publications, the parent company of Kidsville News of Northern New York, is very involved with various business organizations in the region. He became aware of the concerns of lo-

Pictured on the left is William Anderson, first vice president of NYSAFLT; Brian Gay; Gayle Alexander; Dan Alexander and on the right is Mary Holmes, president of NYSAFLT. cal leaders that when our “neighbors to the north” visit the region very few store clerks or service personnel knew how to speak to them in their native French. In cooperation with Clinton Community College, David Graham and Ken Hughes, Kidsville News Publisher Gayle Alexander put together a plan to introduce the French language to the children of the region. Brian Gay provided the colorful graphics to keep the lesson light, entertaining and fun for the students.

The study of a language other than English fosters an appreciation and understanding of other cultures, promotes a

better understanding of one’s own language and culture, supports learning and improves performance in other content areas, and cultivates the qualities of global citizens who are well-educated and prepared to compete professionally in an increasingly interconnected world. Research has shown that early language instruction not only facilitates the language learning process, but results in more native-like pronunciation and fluency in the second language. In addition, early language instruction has been shown to strengthen students’ performance in their first language as well as in other content areas.

NYSAFLT is a professional organization dedicated to providing the foreign language teachers of New York State with professional development opportunities and promoting the study of foreign languages and cultures. For more information about NYSAFLT, visit http://www.nysaflt.org.

LOTE (Languages Other Than English) is a core subject area in New York State. All students are required to earn one high school credit in a modern or classical foreign language or American Sign Language. NYSAFLT supports an early start to language learning and encourages continued language study beyond the minimum requirement in order to prepare our students to meet the challenges of today’s global community.

Betsy Folwell to speak at Indian Lake Theater Jan. 5 INDIAN LAKE — On Jan. 5, the Indian Lake Theater will host a capstone event for the latest Hamilton County Reads Beyond Books selection — Elizabeth Folwell’s “Short Carries; Essays from Adirondack Life.”

Copies of the book have been available at local libraries across Hamilton County throughout the fall, and readers and the general public are invited to attend the event.

The event will also feature the talents of local residents who will read selections from the anthology and a short film based on one of the essays produced by Long Lake high school students.

“We’ve had some amazing talent participate in this program,” said theater director Danielle Shaw. “A regional author from Essex brought us her book on farming, an author with ties to Texas and Oklahoma presented her novel about family ties in the South during the Jim Crow era, and this summer, a journalist from National Geographic magazine told his story about tracking uncontacted tribes in the Amazon. But we were looking for an opportunity to showcase the wealth of local talent that we have right here in Hamilton County and ‘Short Carries’ was the perfect vehicle.”

A Q&A session with the author will follow, as will an opportunity to have copies of the book signed.

The event starts at 3 p.m. Tickets are $5. Copies of Folwell’s book will be available for purchase.

The Johnsburg Central School Junior Chorus (below) and Senior Chorus (above) held their Christmas Concert on Thursday, Dec. 13 in the gymnasium. They were under the direction of Mary Leach.

Gore Mountain from page 1 Most of the ski season days, so far, have been warm, with some rain, but the nights have been cold enough to make snow. And Gore snowmakers have used every opportunity to cover trails with snow. The ski center was able to increase much of its open terrain this past weekend.

On Friday, Dec. 21, there were five lifts and 15 trails open — 25 percent of the

terrain — with a base depth of 11-19 inches.

By Saturday, Dec. 22, there were seven lifts and 17 trails open, and by Monday, Dec. 24, there were seven lifts and 25 trails open — 40 percent of the terrain — with a base of 14-24 inches.

By Wednesday, Dec. 26, there were 11 lifts and 36 trails open — 56 percent of the terrain — with a base depth of 15-25 inches.

That’s every lift but three — the Hudson Chair (Ski Bowl), High Peaks Chair and Burnt Ridge Quad —

and the High Peaks Chair was set to open Dec. 27.

The North Creek Ski Bowl is now fully operational — minus the Hudson Chair — with tubing, alpine skiing and snowboarding on the Village Slopes. In addition to the 800-foot lift-serviced tubing lanes and the Village Chair, Gore began offering snowshoeing and nordic skiing as well (including rentals).

“We are working on a 2K loop that will incorporate, but not interfere with, the areas we presently use for

tubing and skiing,” said Gore General Manager Mike Pratt. “Multi-use terrain at the North Creek Ski Bowl increases the diversity of our winter activities, so more people can enjoy this region's recreational opportunities.”

Stanton said Gore looks forward to welcoming regional nordic teams that might want to practice at the Ski Bowl, plus visitors coming to North Creek by road or rail.

“The close proximity of the Ski Bowl to the train station also offers all guests of the Saratoga-North Creek Railway an easy way to spend part of their day on the snow, if they are looking for an alternative to skiing

or snowboarding,” Stanton said.

Gore also held some events this past weekend.

The Lumberjack Log Jam freestyle contest was held on Dec. 22 on the Lower Sleighride trail, and Gore welcomed its first NYSEF race of the season on the lowest portion of Showcase Dec. 22-23.

Also, the completely renovated Tannery Pub & Restaurant in the Gore Mountain Base Lodge — complete with brand-new kitchen, bar and taps, seating, and bathrooms — kicked off its busy live music schedule.

the highest totals on record and perhaps the highest ever, Swan said on Christmas Eve. “Sales tax is coming in at a good pace,” he said. “If we get $4 million more, it would be a phenomenal year.”

Swan said fuel prices have fallen recently, but they are still a touch higher than last year — and are not likely to skew the sales tax figures much. He said car sales were likely the chief factor in the heavy increase of tax revenue.

“Detroit is selling a ton of cars through our local dealers,” he said.

But general retail sales seem to be robust also, he said, predicting a very strong holiday revenues for area businesses.

“I was at the mall yesterday and the stores were packed,” he said. “There are a lot of people spending money right now.”

News Enterprise Editorial

Palmer was right: ‘Take this job and ...’

T

hank you, Dan Palmer, for being a wonderful Essex County manager.

Now, please leave Elizabethtown and head back home to Minerva.

Two weeks after announcing that he plans to retire at the end of the year, Palmer changed his mind, saying on Dec. 17 that he’ll stay in his position if the Essex County Board of Supervisors reappoints him. Although he didn’t hand in an official resignation letter to the county, he did file retirement papers with the state.

Palmer ’s decision to retire was emotionally charged. It was made amid the 2013 budget process. He and the board couldn’t agree on how to fix the financial crisis, so, like any disgruntled employee near retirement age, Palmer said, “No more!” and decided to hang up his hat.

To simply change his decision now and say, “Never mind,” is an irresponsible way to manage a county.

Dan, you’ve made your bed; now sleep in it. Retire, already.

We understand some supervisors have asked you to reconsider. We’d hope you would simply say, “No, thanks. My mind is made up. It’s been a pleasure, but I’m done with county service. Thanks for everything.”

Flip-flopping on your decision makes us question your motive. Are you playing politics? Trying to make a statement? The financial crisis in Essex County is too important for shenanigans or political games.

What’s really going on?

Changing your retirement decision also sends a bad message to supervisors and taxpayers. If you come back to Elizabethtown, how can we take you seriously with serious matters such as the budget? Your credibility would be shot, your word worthless.

Like anyone in public or private service, we are all replaceable. None of us will live forever, and someone will eventually fill our positions. The Essex County manager is no different.

Palmer supporter Roby Politi — who called for the Dec. 17 executive session meeting to ask Palmer to stay — told the media that the job of finding a replacement is “insurmountable.” We don’t think so. There are many people in this state qualified to manage counties. There may actually be someone currently employed

by Essex County who is qualified.

And, in replacing Palmer, county leaders may just see a cost savings in salary and benefits. Has anyone actually compared Palmer ’s $118,000 salary plus benefits with managers overseeing counties of similar size?

Wasn’t there a time not so long ago that the job was handled by the chairman of the board?

Perhaps Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava is right in his assessment that the position is not needed at all. These are trying financial times in Essex County, and if Scozzafava, the county’s budget liaison, is recommending doing away with the post, then it should be taken seriously.

Don’t get us wrong. Our opinion here has nothing to do with Dan Palmer ’s quality of work. We’re not saying he was a bad manager. In fact, we think the supervisors should have listened to him more when it came to budget negotiations.

Given the current situation, a reappointment would simply be too little, too late.

Supervisors can’t ignore the county manager at budget time then beg for his return after he announces retirement. Supervisors, you had your chance, and you blew it.

We admired Palmer for his “Take this job and shove it” stance, deciding to “retire” gracefully at the end of the year instead of “resigning” rudely and walking out the door with his middle finger in the air. Dan, don’t take that away from us.

Stick to your guns.

We want a well-run county, but we also want Dan Palmer to be happy. We’d like to see him smile more; he never seems to want to smile for photos we take of him on the job. Maybe some time away from Essex County government will help. Happy retirement, Dan, we hope. And a heartfelt thank-you to you and your wife, Deborah, who will retire at the end of the year as the Board of Supervisors clerk, for your county service.

Will he or won’t he? Dan Palmer may not retire after all

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — After a two-hour executive session following the Dec. 17 block of Essex County Board of Supervisors committee meetings, the pending retirement of County Manager Daniel Palmer is on hold.

Palmer sent a letter to members of the Board as well as county department heads saying that he would withdraw his retirement paperwork with the state if he were to be re-appointed by the full board during the Jan. 7 organizational meeting.

The executive session came after Finance Committee chair Tom Scozzafava introduced a resolution thanking both Palmer and his wife, Deborah, for their service to the county. Scozzafava also took the moment to offer his opinion on the manager ’s position.

“I do not support the position,” Scozzafava said. “Under this form, it is not working.”

Board Chairman Randy Douglas, of Jay, thought that discussing the position while offering a resolution of thanks to Palmer was ill-timed.

“I do not think this is the time to talk about a position when we are commending the person who is filling it,” Douglas said.

Scozzafava felt that it was the appropriate time because while they were honoring Palmer ’s service, they needed to look at future options.

Douglas said that there would be plenty of time to look at the position.

“A lot of people have said that we need to take our time, and I agree,” Douglas said.

Following the discussion, the board went into executive session to talk about the position of county manager as well as clerk of the board, which Deborah Palmer currently holds.

She still intends to retire at the end of the year. North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi called for the session.

Palmer has remained quiet on the issue, and could not be reached by press time.

Dan Stec praised and razzed as he heads off to Albany

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — Presiding over his last Warren County Board of Supervisors meeting before he assumes his new position Jan. 1, state Assemblyman-elect Dan Stec reflected Friday, Dec. 21 on the board’s accomplishments during his tenure as Chairman — and the other county supervisors offered up witty barbs and best wishes.

Stec said achievements of the board included keeping county tax increases at a minimum, rebuilding the county’s depleted financial reserves from $3 million to $12 million, rebuilding infrastructure including four bridges, resolving personnel problems in the county Social Services Department, and taking a leadership statewide in combatting water-borne invasive species.

The accomplishments on the latter issue include Asian clam control efforts and moving toward establishing a mandatory boat inspection and decontamination law, Stec said.

“We put our money where our mouth is,”

Stec said. “We took the ball over the goal line in Warren County, and the state can learn a lot from us.”

Queensbury Supervisor David Strainer praised Stec for his integrity in politics.

“You can be proud you went up through the system,” Strainer said. “You didn’t buy your way into office — You are going to do a great job in Albany.”

Glens Falls Supervisor Dan Girard added his thoughts.

“You have been one of the hardest working supervisors — you have the whole picture of what’s really going on,” he said. “You will be a great representative of our county.”

Several county supervisors presented Stec with gifts.

Stec received a mantel clock from Warrensburg Supervisor Kevin Geraghty, chosen by his peers to succeed Stec as county board chairman, and Stony Creek Supervisor Frank Thomas, who is to be the next county Finance Committee chairman.

“We’ll miss your leadership,” Thomas said as the gift was presented.

Stec replied afterwards, “You’ll be getting

him a large red push-button that broadcasts “No” in various voices. She indicated that the device would be useful in his legislative work. Also, county Emergency Services Director Brian LaFlure gave Stec a red corded telephone handset — resembling the White House hotline — to plug into his cell phone so he could keep in touch, while in Albany, with his Warren County comrades.

Another gag gift Stec received was a backpack full of rocks from Johnsburg Supervisor Ron Vanselow and Hague Supervisor Edna Frasier, representing a metaphor Stec has used to describe the county’s frustrations over the state passing down its responsibilities to its counties without providing funding — The state, he has said again and again, is urging their counties’ leaders to hike ever faster up a slope as the state’s legislators add rocks to the hikers’ backpacks.

Stec accepted the backpack with a chuckle, and pulled out rocks that were emblazoned with the phrases, “tax cap,”state retirement costs,” “Medicaid,” “Home Rule” and “Mandates.”

“As you accomplish solutions to these issues, you can take one at a time out of your backpack,” Frasier said.

Stec was the target of several quips from people referring to his tendency to be longwinded.

While Glens Falls Third Ward supervisor Bud Taylor praised Stec for his ongoing support of human services issues, he said that the legislature might have to extend its sessions to accommodate his speeches.

Stec fired back, “I was made for filibusters,” prompting laughter from many.

In providing an example of brevity, Lake George Supervisor Dennis Dickinson wished Stec well as he repeated children’s author Dr. Seuss's seven-word speech he gave at a college graduation: “Good morning; Good job; good luck; goodbye.”

Stec was for a moment almost at a loss for words.

Geraghty, Thomas to move up Later, the Assemblyman-elect praised Geraghty as his successor as county Chairman.

“As budget officer — which is a position harder than chairman, Kevin would plow through issues and pull a rabbit out of a hat when required,” Stec said. “He’s done an outstanding job and you’ll be in very good hands.”

Geraghty said later he was pleased to lead the county beginning in 2013.

“It’s an immense privilege,” he said, noting he’d learned a lot in seven years.

Bolton Supervisor Ronald Conover is to move into the chairmanship of the county Finance Committee, vacated by Thomas.

Stec is to be sworn in as a new state Assembly member in a ceremony at noon Jan. 1 by judge David Krogmann at the entrance of the county courthouse.

He will be sworn in again in Albany at 2 p.m. Jan. 8 in a ceremony in the state legislative office building, Hearing Room C. Stec said that he had been informed this week of his Assembly committee assignments — he is to serve on the Local Government, Banks, Social Services and Tourism committees. He was also named the ranking minority member on the Assembly’s Environmental Conservation Committee, considered an important position for the Adirondack region he represents.

“I’m deeply honored to have been elected to my new position,” Stec said.

Adirondack Council proposes new wilderness area Wild Rivers Wilderness Area in Minerva, Newcomb, Indian Lake

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com NEWCOMB — New York state is poised to acquire thousands of acres of forestry land in the Adirondacks over the next several years, and environmental groups are already lining up to influence the Adirondack Park Agency’s Forest Preserve classification process.

But instead of simply taking out advertisements or launching a letter-writing campaign, the Adirondack Council has made the process easy for APA staff and commissioners; it has proposed a brand-new wilderness area and produced maps showing how these lands — mostly from the 69,000-acre Finch, Pruyn acquisition — should be classified.

The proposal was announced in a press release.

“This is an opportunity that will never come again,” Adirondack Council Acting Executive Director Diane Fish said in the release. “This land has been off-limits to the public since before the Civil War. It is located within a day’s drive of more than 70 million Americans and Canadians. It contains no homes and no communities. The roads on these parcels will revert to foot trails quite easily. We urge the state to protect these soon-to-be-acquired lands, lakes and rivers to safeguard wildlife habitat and water quality and from overuse and motorized traffic.”

The Adirondack Council dubs itself as “the Adirondack Park’s largest and most influential environmental organization,” and sent a letter to state leaders in early December urging the state to adopt its plan. Council literature calls for the creation of “a large, new Wild Rivers Wilderness Area here that would combine the grandeur and dramatic beauty of Yellowstone, with the waterfalls of Yosemite National Park and the interconnected lakes and ponds of Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area.”

Fish said the Adirondack Council sent a letter to state Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Joe Martens, calling for the creation of a new Wild Rivers Wilderness Area. The Council also urged the commissioner to expand the High Peaks Wilderness Area when the state completes its purchase of 69,000 acres formerly owned by papermakers Finch, Pruyn & Co., of Glens Falls.

Wild Rivers Wilderness The proposed Wild Rivers Wilderness Area would surround the Essex Chain of Lakes, the Hudson River Gorge, Blue Ledges, and OK Slip Falls. When purchased, the Council asked the state to combine these new parcels with existing sections of the Blue Mountain Lake Wild Forest, Vanderwacker Mountain Wild Forest and Hudson Gorge Primitive Area. It would include 48 miles of wild rivers, nine interconnected lakes and ponds, and one of the Adirondack Park’s most majestic waterfalls.

“More important are the rich variety of wildlife, the forests, wetlands, and fisheries this new wilderness would protect,” Fish said. “The foremost duty of the state, according to the State Land Master Plan, is to protect the rare natural resources on these lands from potential overuse, pollution, noise and invasive species that motorized traffic would bring. There are many ways to gain access to wild lands and waters without driving automobiles directly into the center

Proposed Wild Rivers Wilderness of them. Creative solutions can be found.”

and Indian Lake.

Motorized access

High Peaks expansion

Fish reminded the commissioner that more than 90,000 acres of former Finch lands had been protected from development by conservation agreements with new private owners, which allow motorized public access and sustainable harvesting. Those lands are near the lands being purchased for addition to the public Forest Preserve.

The Council proposes that less than 50,000 acres of the former Finch lands become wilderness. That would mean another 18,000-plus acres of former Finch lands being purchased for the Forest Preserve would be eligible for motorized access.

The Council’s proposal calls for about one-third of Finch’s 161,000-acre former holdings to become wilderness.

Fish challenged Commissioner Martens to see this purchase as a part of a larger plan for the rational completion of the Adirondack Forest Preserve and sought to reassure him that designating an area as Wilderness will not prevent its use.

Fish said that bringing the edge of the High Peaks Wilderness closer, and adding the Wild Rivers Wilderness nearby, will benefit the communities of Newcomb, North Hudson

The Adirondack Council also proposed an expansion of the High Peaks Wilderness, which would include the Boreas Ponds section of the Finch purchase, along with existing state lands not now managed as wilderness.

The Council’s letter to the commissioner contained recommendations on all 69,000 acres the state intends to acquire over the next five years from The Nature Conservancy. A copy of the letter and detailed maps of the areas described may be viewed at www.adirondackcouncil.org.

“We have been anticipating this opportunity for almost 25 years,” said Fish. “Back in 1988, we conducted the first comprehensive survey of the private Adirondack lands and recommended which lands the state should acquire (when they became available or from willing sellers) to complete the Adirondack Forest Preserve. The first three volumes of our 2020 VISION reports were completed by 1992, and became the backbone of the Adirondack portion of the NYS Open Space Conservation Plan. But our plans were sitting on a shelf until Finch, Pruyn & Co. sold its lands in 2007, and the Governor agreed to buy 69,000 acres of them in August.”

NORTH CREEK — Art Perryman’s new exhibit for oil painting, drawing and sculpture will be held at the Tannery Pond Community Center from Dec. 29 to Jan. 23.

Perryman lives in Wevertown with his wife, Kris. His work has been displayed throughout the Adirondacks and the U.S. by the family business, Adirondack Woods. This includes the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake, LARAC in Glens Falls, various festivals, art shows, galleries and shops.

Free from the constraints and influence of formal art instruction, Perryman has formulated a unique philosophy and process. He wants the anatomy of the animal correct. He wants to understand it and recreate it. He believes that art is man’s attempt to touch the surface of God’s perfect work.

The artist and his work has been the subject in journals, newspapers and periodicals. His art work has also been used to depict Adirondack wild life on many speciality items.

Perryman is a versatile artist with pencil sketches, oil and acrylic paintings, some of which have been reproduced as limited edition prints. He has sculptured in clay and produced wood carvings of moose, bear, fox, lynx, deer and horses. He is an observer of wildlife, a horseman and artist who seeks to show the life and motion of these beautiful animals in his work. In 1976, Perryman completed a large relief carving to honor the Bicentennial of the USA. A full-size leaping white-tailed deer carved from a single white pine log with hard maple antlers mounted on a cedar root will be seen in this exhibit.

The cover of “River, Rails and Ski Trails,” published by the Johnsburg Historical Society, was a drawing by Perryman as well as several Adirondack wildlife pictures in the book. He also drew the “Logging North River” for the town of Johnsburg bicentennial tapestry.

Tannery Pond Community Center is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays when the “open” flag is out.
