NEWCOMB Ñ We often hear of part-time Adirondackers who take haven in our beautiful mountains, giving themselves a break from the fast paced lives they lead wherever they call home.

This isnÕ t a new phenomenon, and the Adirondacks have actually provided a place to Ò get away from it allÓ for over 100 years. Some of the most notable, elegant places that are well known as a vacationerÕ s retreat are the Ò Great CampsÓ , of which Camp Santanoni might have been the Ò greatest.Ó The camp, created in 1892

by Robert and Anna Pruyn, consists of more than four dozen buildings on 12,900 acres including a working farm, the Gate Lodge Complex, a massive Main Lodge, and several buildings on the lake. Camp Santanoni is a National Historic Landmark that has been gradually restored over the past several decades.

Over the next three months, the DEC will host its third annual Ò Camp Santanoni Winter Weekends.” The first weekend in the series will take place from Jan. 17-19, the second from Feb. 14-16, and the third from Mar. 14-15.

Winter sports enthusiasts are invited to take the 9.8 hike, whether by cross-country skis or snow shoes, from the Camp SantanoniÕ s Gate House complex to the lakeside main lodge complex. Participants will get to work up a sweat while viewing the breathtaking place many consider to be the Ò classic Adirondack Great Camp.Ó

‘A Sip of Murder’ comes to hotel LONG LAKE Ñ The stage is set for another wine tasting fundraiser, but there is a little apprehension about who will take the first sip. That is because the last fund raiser there was some wine with a little extra kick, enough kick to kill.

This is the plot of Gem*Boy Productions: Ò A Sip of Murder.Ó The murder mystery is set to take stage March 28, at 7:07 p.m., at the historic Adirondack Hotel. The audience will be in charge of solving the crime, since all the characters are suspects.

Happy hour has turned into happy horrors now that Froggie Fermente is dead. Someone made a withdrawal from the slush fund, another was left broken hearted and the French dame wanted to keep her secret a secret. And what mother wouldnÕ t want to kill the 50-something playboy dating her 18 year old daughter or the woman with many virtues, but none of them related to romance?

So many reasons to kill Froggie, but only one corpse and one killer.

It appears someone slipped poison in the samples at the last wine tasting. Everyone had a reason and more importantly, an opportunity to do the slaying. When you consider that the poison may have been digested even before the wine tasting started, there were many openings for ending FroggieÕ s life.

The audience will watch as the first act unfolds. Each character’s reason for killing will be revealed. Then they will be in charge of going to clue sites to interview the suspects, and finding the murderer. Only the smartest of the investigators will be able to see through a false alibi.

Tickets for Dinner Theater will be $30 per person. $10 to your group and $20 to Hotel for dinner, tax & gratuity. Cash bar including wine list available. Rooms will be discounted to $50 each that night. For more information call 624-4700 or visit facebook.com/pages/Adirondack-Hotel-onLong-Lake/104149186320212 or goo.gl/5kXK.

Brant Lake Winter Carnival plans discussed at business alliance meeting CHESTERTOWN Ñ The Brant Lake Winter Carnival was one of many events discussed during the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance meetting at the Panther Mountain Inn Jan. 9.

The Brant Lake Winter Carnival will be held Saturday, Feb. 21. Over $1,000 has been raised

to date for the Out House Race prizes and all businesses are are invited to enter.

The Downhill Derby is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 14, with organizers hoping to have more events throughout the week and are seeking ideas. They also need more teams for snow shoe softball and the broomball tournaments.

In addition to the fry pan toss, curling, out house races, childrenÕ s sledding hill and ice bowling, there will also be an icicle contest with adult and children winners. Also new this year is a competition amongst local business and/or groups to get the most votes for their

nominated carnival king and queen. Cost will be $1 a vote and the most votes win bragging rights and a crown.

Other business included: APAC: Current APAC committee members Steve Smith, Derick Borst, Katie Kearney, Kat Andonucci, Susan Andonucci and Tony Taverni have decided to dissolve APAC as a subcommittee of TLBA. Attorney Rob Simon explained that APAC was a sub-committee of the TLBA and the future of APAC and its monies ultimately fall under the Business Alliance.

Susan Andonucci explained that the existing APAC group would like to donate the funds

to PAC, a performing arts club at North Warren Central School, to provide a coach bus for students to take to an upcoming event in lieu of a school bus.

Following attorney recommendation and seeing the TLBA is still planning many events at the Carol Theatre for this coming year, they voted to have a new committee determine what direction APAC will take on how these funds will be dispersed, reflecting the Mission Statement of both APAC and the TLBA. St. PatrickÕ s Day Parade: The parade will be held Saturday, March 7. They need a new chairperson to head this committee. Keith Wilkinson will organize the bag pipers and road closure, but someone is needed to head the organization of the

rest of the parade. There is a solid committee in place that will help, but someone is needed to co-ordinate all events.

Electric Sign for Town Events: Variances are needed from the Town of Chester and APA. Fred Holman is working on obtaining the necessary permits. Variances are needed for the size of the sign and the size of the lighted portion. Checks can be made out to the North Warren Chamber of Commerce and mailed to P.O. Box 490 Ð Chestertown, N.Y., 12817. Attn: Digital Sign.

Woof Stock: Presentations will be made to the Town of Chester and the Town of Horicon for funding. At this point, no funding has been awarded but appeals will be made to PetCo and Bensens this month, and

although plans are still moving forward, lack of financial support might limit the number of events planned. Anyone who has ideas or connections who might be able to help with some sort of sponsorship, contact Cindy at cmead3@nycap.rr.com or 494-3016.

ATV Rides: Dates for 2015 are planned for May 30, July 18 and Sept. 26. Tin Tee Pee might also be sponsoring a Jeep Poker Run to benefit Toys for Tots.

Horicon Day: Scheduled for Aug. 1.

Stand up for Upstate Schools: The North Warren PTO will be sponsoring a meeting Wednesday, Jan. 14, 6:30 p.m. at the school to learn about the Gap Elimination Adjustment and the effect it has on our school and community.

Indian Lake Central School receives funding from Mobil

By Bill Quinlivan

denpubs@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE Ñ Thanks to the efforts of the Hyde Fuel Company of Saranac Lake, the fuel distributor to the Adirondack One Stop, the Indian Lake Central School District became the recipient of a $500 grant donation from ExxonMobil Corporation.

On Wednesday, Jan. 7, the check was presented to the Indian Lake School District Superintendent, Mark T. Brand by Chris Bourgeois of the Hyde Fuel Company and Bob Scanlon of the Adirondack One Stop.

The donation was awarded as part of the ExxonMobil Educational Alliance, one of the many educational programs funded by the Corporation and its Foundation.

According to ExxonMobil, the Educational Alliance program is designed to provide its retailers with the opportunity to invest in the future of their respective com-

munities through educational grants to neighborhood schools.

In an outline of its Educational Alliance Program, ExxonMobil Corporation makes the point that it believes as members of the community, local distributors and retailers are the ones best qualified to work with local educators to help identify schools and programs most in need of support. It was this program and philosophy that made it possible for Hyde Fuel Company and Adirondack One Stop, ExxonMobil Distributor and Retailer, respectively to apply and receive the grant donation for the ILCSD.

From the Editor

Our editorial board: Clearing the air

I

wrote my first editorial for Denton Publications 23 years ago. Since then IÕ ve put my name on hundreds of opinion pieces and been a part of dozens of editorial board positions. I was lauded for some, vilified for others.

IÕ ve learned not to let that get under my skin. IÕ ve always thought of it as fallout from the thought provoking process. Poke the bees nest enough and youÕ re bound to walk away with a couple welts.

An old editor of mine once told me that youÕ re not doing your job if youÕ re not angering someone with an opinion piece Ñ it comes with the territory.

In turn, the dialogue gates open and Ñ as our newly elected Congresswoman Elise Stefanik would say Ñ fresh new ideas spill forth as a result.

But in all that time, IÕ ve never been accused of hiding my name from view. I have and will continue to take credit for the columns I have personally written as well as the editorial board pieces I am a part of.

So when I read some of the recent letters regarding our editorial board being unnamed, I have to say it caught me off guard. I suppose in an organization our size, I took for granted that readers knew the Denton staff and, after decades of my pontificating, certainly knew me as managing editor.

Together, we make up the editorial board. Most of our names appeared in our Jan. 3 newspapers listing each of our New YearÕ s resolutions.

I have organized it this way for several years, and honestly up until a few weeks ago had not been called out on it. When a reader, official or source took issue with a board editorial, I was always the sounding board, encouraging further dialogue, letters and guest commentaries.

I have always taken responsibility for everything published in our newspapers, specialty products and magazines.

In the past, IÕ ve been involved in a handful of different editorial boards, each with its own unique makeup and different way of identifying board members.

Editorials written by a board are designed to allow input from a variety of viewpoints. They can be written by a member of the board or an outside individual with couching from the group.

IÕ ve been involved with board editorials I

vehemently disagreed with Ñ and been asked to write editorials contrary to my own opinion.

ItÕ s a lesson in temperament, but again comes with the territory.

Columns, on the other hand, are written by a sole individual and are the opinion of that person alone, such as the column you are currently reading written by yours truly.

I will say the recent letters calling us out for having an anonymous editorial board gave me pause for thought. That was not my intent and IÕ d like to clear the air about who we are and how we operate.

Our editorial board consists of staff members Maggie Morgan, Shawn Ryan, Lou Varricchio, Pete DeMola and Andrew Johnstone. Senior editors include myself and Keith Lobdell, Publisher Dan Alexander and retired editor Thom Randall continues to lend his years of expertise.

While free expression of opinion is a right in this country under the First Amendment, I am not one to do so behind a veil of secrecy. I welcome an open exchange of ideas from anyone provided it is done in a constructive manner.

IÕ m convinced thoughtful debate and compromise is what will move this country and this region forward.

Therefore, after consulting with our editorial team, we have decided that our board editorials will be signed each week by two senior managing editors, Keith and myself and Dan as publisher.

Ideas for opinion pieces will be formulated, a topic will be chosen, board members will be allowed to chime in on the topic and the actual writing of the piece will be assigned to a member of the board in rotation.

The board will then all get a final opportunity to read the piece before it goes to print.

We feel this is the most fair and balanced way to handle board editorials moving into the future.

In the meantime, my door is always open as is my willingness to hear from our readers about issues of importance that might make solid editorial fodder.

We certainly do not profess to know it all, and the more voices we get involved in this process, the more rounded and effective our opinions will be.

Letters to the Editor

Well done

Supers ‘irresponsible’

To the News Enterprise: IÕ m writing to thank you for your column in last weekÕ s paper. IÕ ve never seen a publisher be so frank and open about his company.

I wholeheartedly agree with your positions and I congratulate you for taking the leadership needed to open up this sort of dialogue.

As you say, only through an open exchange of ideas can we learn about the important issues before us.

I rarely write letters to the editor, but this time, I thought it was important to say well done, sir.

David Reuther Willsboro

To the News Enterprise: The Essex County Board of Supervisors support of this paperÕ s editorial call for banning Protect The Adirondacks is hugely irresponsible.

These are the political leaders of our county.

To silence a voice that one disagrees with or finds offensive is a first step toward a mindset that could justify the attacks in Paris last week.

I only sometimes agree with Protect, and often find its message offensively delivered, but It has every right in this country to pursue its agenda.

By denying this, the Board of Supervisors has set a terribly destructive example.

David Thomas-Train Keene Valley

Right to express opinions To the News Enterprise: I want to commend the Editorial Board for speaking out on actions of one small group that is abusing the court system to get their way.

This group is an extreme fundamentalist group that is running under the flag saving mother nature. Just like other fundamentalist groups they have lost the ability to listen to other sides issue and to work with them. They have failed to see how their views have effected the ability for people to exist in the Adirondack Park.

The facts that what you have published is based in fact is important.

We must also remember that is was the Ò opinionÓ page of the paper. Your editorial board must be free to have their Ò opinions.Ó I think their opinions are held by many people in the community.

I think, especially in light of the actions that have happened in France last week, you have an obligation to maintain your right to have an opinion on issues, and on fundamentalist groups that are single minded in their goal.

This is true if it were an environmental group, a political group or a developer. You have a responsibility to your readers to have your opinion. You also have a responsibility to the reader to help them form their own opinions on the other pages of the paper.

I often donÕ t agree with the opinions on the editorial pages of many papers, but that is not the point. The point is that the paperÕ s independent board has that opportunity. The goal is different, it is to make all of us think and to see other opinions.

You gave the group their opportunity to express their opinion which is the correct action to take. You should not stifle, control or reprimand the opinion of your editorial board.

John Carr, Crown Point

Supers should represent all To the News Enterprise: After reading the enlightened guest editorial in your Jan. 10 issue condemning your earlier editorial that called for abolishing Protect the Adirondacks because of its opposition to the Adirondack Club & Resort project in Tupper Lake, I was happy to read Dan AlexanderÕ s apology on the same page.

But then, what a shock it was to read the article on page 14 in your same issue, about the Essex County Board of Supervisors voting unanimously to support the original editorial for which your paper wisely apologized.

Brian Mann reported on North Country Public Radio that the Board of Supervisors will meet again on this matter, so I hope they will also take a more enlightened position now.

Perhaps they were fooled by the pseudo-populist rhetoric in that disgraceful editorial. They need to show that they really do represent all of us, not just the special interests of rich developers.

Shameful votes like that one are the reason why so many Americans now distrust politicians.

The Board needs to acknowledge that Protect the Adirondacks does far more good than harm, for the majority of us. The same goes for the APA. Allen Fitz-Gerald, Jay

‘Bravo’ to supervisors To the News Enterprise: Bravo to the Essex County Board of Supervisors for their support of Denton Pubs editorial exposing Protect the Adirondacks for the Adirondacker hating, environment destroying, wildlife habitat destroying, job killing, economy destroying organization they are.

Don Sage Paradox

Freedom of press To the News Enterprise: We join the rest of the world in mourning the brave staff of the magazine Charlie Hebdo, gunned down by religious fanatics for defending freedom of the press.

Meat industry fanatics in the U.S. have devised a more subtle means of stifling freedom of the press. The states of Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, and Utah have enacted Ò ag-gagÓ laws that impose criminal penalties on investigators seeking to expose animal abuses and safety violations in factory farms.

According to an Associated Press report in yesterdayÕ s papers, four members of an animal protection organization were charged with violating UtahÕ s ag-gag law. They sought to document the daily transport of thousands of pigs from the infamous Circle Four factory farm in Cedar City (UT) to the Farmer John slaughterhouse in Los Angeles.

Ag-gag laws are clearly unconstitutional and are being challenged in federal courts. Assaults on press freedom need to be confronted wherever they rear their ugly heads, even when they assume the legitimacy of a state law.

Able Jorgenson, Ticonderoga

Protect what?

To the News Enterprise: When I think of protecting the Adirondacks, many problems and questions come to mind regarding our Adirondack communities including; employment, resident retention, economic viability, sustainability, the environment, and our future. Does PROTECT cater to all of the above in an unbiased way? What are they trying to protect and from what or whom? Do we need protection from them? Here are some thoughts to consider. The Adirondacks have had many challenges and will have many challenges to face. By default, we have designed our economy around a playground for spending disposable income and a place to retire.

There is little industry left here, and we have become a service based economy catering to recreation, lodging, and food. This economy isnÕ t conducive to great business plans with steady stable returns or successful independence. It tends to represses our work force with seasonal, weather dependent, economy driven, lower paying jobs. Many residents leave for better opportunities and never come back. We have also limited our chance of a better economy and future by enacting and upholding out of date and irresponsible preservation clauses and ideas about our state holdings within the park called forever wild. PROTECTÕ s

Question of the Month

“What is one new thing that you would like to learn to do in the new year?”

Ms. HagadornÕ s First grade Class Johnsburgh Central School Rowan Olesheski, Ò I would like to learn to swim without a life jacket.Ó Lucia Williams, Ò I would like to learn how to be a scientist.Ó Mason Wing, Ò I would like to learn how to snow board.Ó Hunter Monroe, Ò I would like to learn more about science.

Trista Ellifritz, Ò I would like to learn how to ice skate.Ó Carly Davis, Ò I would like to learn how to subtract better.Ó Stephen Millington, Ò I would like to learn how to run a chainsaw.Ó Christian Harvey, Ò I would like to learn how a phone works and how our body works all together.Ó Chase Denno, Ò I would like to learn how a phone works and how our body works all together.Ó Haley Mosher, Ò I would like to learn how to ice skate.Ó Hannah Sharp, Ò I would like to learn to ice skate.Ó Jordan Fusco, Ò I would like to learn to play and talk to dolphins.Ó Jeremiah Freebern, Ò I would like to learn how to snow board.Ó

Alissa Bennett, Ò I would like to learn how to do a cart wheel.Ó Peyton Lawrence, Ò I would like to learn how to ski.Ó Mrs. MosherÕ s Second Grade Class Johnsburgh Central School Kayla Gonyo, Ò I would like to learn more about animals.Ó Morgan Woodard, Ò I would like to learn how to do origami like how to make paper planes, swans, and cranes.Ó Brian Burkhardt, Ò One thing I would like to learn in the new year is to learn multiplication.Ó Charity Lupo, Ò I would like to learn how to do a better handstand.Ó Autumn Smith, Ò I would like to learn to cook breakfast for Christmas so my grandma does not have to.Ó Memphis Facey, Ò I would like to learn about how movies are made.Ó Eli Morin, Ò I would like to learn how many days are in the new year.Ó Breyen Rafferty, Ò One thing I want to learn in the new year is about cars.Ó Eloise Noel, Ò I would like to learn more about the Earth and if it is the only planet that has life.Ó Ariana Harvey, Ò A new thing I want to learn is how to speak Spanish. I want to speak Spanish because I think it would be fun and tricky.Ó

stance on state land use and private land use is selfish and biased because they represent the land use ideals of a minority within the park or state. For some towns, state Forever Wild holdings dominate private ownership and this limits business opportunities and potential jobs in the surrounding area through limited resources. This increases local taxes on private properties and decreases income for remaining private landowners and encourages them to develop and liquidate their land to create a short term profit while getting rid of a tax and investment liability. For example, conservation on state lands would be a better choice by creating working forests that support our local communities with sustainable jobs and tangible products produced for local use and export. The now active land would be self supporting and even revenue generating therefore stimulating local towns.

Conservation includes recreation and in many cases enhances recreation. Good Conservation also enhances the quality and protection of our environment (Hey PROTECT, we donÕ t even maintain fire roads anymore on forest preserve)! You want to fight something, how about potential forest fires. By the way, the people of New York State pay the tax burden and many other associated costs on this state land and that includes us one way or another (the state just writes the check) All the citizens should be represented equally including those that live here. The Adirondacks are for residents, vacationers, snowmobilers, ATV riders motor boaters, businesses, skiers, birdwatchers, fisherman, environmentalists, and all others as long as they respect each other.

It should be an even playing field for all. There should be a more diverse viable economy within the blue line that attracts successful entrepreneurs and businesses. What are you really trying to protect, the land, the environment, the people, the economy, or the swayed interests of your supporters. ItÕ s time for PROTECT the Adirondacks to rethink your goals, to represent and respect all of us, and actually make a positive difference. How about protecting our future?

Tom Bartiss, Vermontville

How could you have known?

To the News Enterprise: How could you have known, Dan, that your spot-on admonishment of your own publicationÕ s ill-advised editorial savaging of Protect the Adirondacks would be so timely? Your piece had a time of its own, the days following publication of the Denton Editorial BoardÕ s ad hominem attack upon Peter Bauer. Your position was clear. Scurrilous accusations which close, rather than open, the debate of ideas and sensibilities our democracy requires to function as it has always been meant to function, will not be tolerated here. Kudos to you; applause for Denton PublicationsÕ restoring civility and truly free speech to the ongoing great conversation that is our countryÕ s strength and legacy. Congratulations for your largesse, your sense of fair play, your allowing Protect the Adirondacks to defend itself in the very space where it was recently vilified. Thank you for restoring a sense of pride in what it means to be a citizen of this great country.

But how could you have known how prescient your action would be? You couldnÕ t have known, and yet I believe you knew all the while. Before Charlie Hebno was brutally and mercilessly attacked in Paris these few days past for no crime other than the exercise of freedom of speech, you knew what was at stake. You understood that the line between savagery Adirondack-style and Islamic terrorist-style may be finer than we like to think. You have unequivocally said that we will not tolerate eviscerating our opponents here, and the whole world, or at least major portions of it, has said the same about Muslim fanaticism anywhere it shows its face. Je suis Charlie!

You, Dan, and those who think like you, are our ultimate bulwark against the forces of intolerance and bigotry both at home and abroad.

You should today be even prouder of yourself than you might have been yesterday. You canÕ t imagine how thrilled I am to be living at the same time as you, in a moment of grave danger for the liberties we have learned to cherish. Thank you again and again for standing up and being counted. If you ever travel to my piece of Adirondack heaven, let me buy you a beer, maybe two or three. IÕ ve much more IÕ d like to discuss with you.

Great job.

Weather Watch

By Paul Little

A

fter a snowy and much colder than normal November, December 2014 was milder than normal with some bouts of rainy weather, not usually associated with Winter here in the North Country. Woodpiles and heating fuels were definitely spared the ravages of a cold December.

The average high temperature was 33.6 and the average low was 22.2 giving us an average temperature of 27.9 degrees, 3.7 degrees above normal. The highest temperature, 45 degrees, was recorded on the 24th and the lowest, 5 degrees, was recorded on the 5th and the 8th. There were no days with below zero readings compared to an average of 3. There were 1149.5 degree days bringing our seasonal total to 2913.

Melted precipitation for the month was 4.84 inches,1.5 inches above normal. This brings the seasonal total for 2014 to 44.22 inches, 1.48 inches above normal of 42.74 inches. There was measurable precipitation on 13 days with the greatest amount, 1.84 inches, falling on the 9th and 10th.

Snowfall for the month was 16.9 inches, only 0.3 inches above normal. This brings our seasonal total to 33.3 inches, 11.1 inches above normal. If all of the precipitation (4.84 inches) that fell during the month had fallen as snow we would have had nearly 50 inches.

The river reached its highest level, 6.60 feet, on the 26th and its lowest level, 3.30 feet, on the 20th and 21st.

College for Every Student search for schools

WILLSBORO — A national nonprofit, College For Every Student (CFES), is searching for five schools to participate in a highimpact program that will help low-income students become college and career ready. The five schools will receive Closing the Gap awards through support from private donors. Ò Over the last 30 years, the gap in college going and degree attainment between youth from low-income households and their higher income peers has widened steadily,Ó said CFES president and CEO Rick Dalton. Ò Today wealthy students are ten times more likely to earn a college degree than their classmates from poverty. Unless we close this gap, the consequences will be catastrophic.Ó CFES, which has helped 75,000 low-income students from 700 schools become college ready over the last 24 years, has committed to scale up and help one million low-income youth attain college degrees by 2025. Ò The Closing the Gap awards are part of this commitment,Ó said Dalton.

Educators, volunteers, and other partners who work with CFES Scholars receive ongoing professional development in building their program and they become part of a supportive global network. Ninety-nine percent of CFES Scholars graduate from high school and 95 percent attend college.

Every CFES Scholar engages in three high-impact practices Ð Mentoring, Leadership Through Service, and Pathways to College. Research has shown these practices develop The Essential Skills, including raised aspirations, adaptability, grit, resilience, teamwork, leadership, and other competencies that promote social and educational uplift.

Details on the Closing The Gap awards, including an application, can be found at collegefes. org.

Fix the dam and raise the salmon

Cold weather puts ‘em on ice T

he recent cold snap and heavy snowfall has certainly helped to firm up ice conditions across the region. It also provided a big payday for local plumbers who were very busy thawing out frozen pipes for the past week or so.

For many North Country residents, the sudden reappearance of the Little Ice Age was not a really a welcome occurrence.

It has been especially hard on commuters, where the combination of icy roads and rock hard car seats, was nearly as uncomfortable as slashes squirting through the windshield washers, while they were searching for the jumper cables.

Just remember, it will all be over in just a few months, and there will be nothing to worry about except frost heaves, blackflies and a lot of slow moving tourists who are trying to find where the gates to the park are.

However, for many hardwater anglers, the big chill was a thrill, and a time for celebration. The cold spell really helped to setup the local ice, as evidenced by the loud moans, groans, booms, pops and rumbles that could be heard emanating from the lakes and ponds throughout the evening. I expect local pond hockey enthusiasts were the only other folks celebrating the cold.

Although snow cover remains somewhat meager in certain areas, there is still plenty to be found in the upper elevations, and across the northern and western portions of the Adirondacks, due to a series of recent lake affect storms.

Currently, the snow cover is just about ideal for ski-skating across the ponds, especially in the St. Regis Canoe Area, where the many ponds are connected by canoe carries that offer a pleasant mix of flat terrain and rolling hills that are covered with stands of towering white pines and open hardwoods.

Rock and Iceheads Return to the Valley

In other local news, the local cliffs and ice flows will again covered with climbers as The Mountaineer and Adirondack Rock and River will present the 19th annual Adirondack International Mountaineering Festival on Martin Luther King weekend, January 16th through January 19th, 2015.

As always the Mountainfest event will kick off on Friday evening with a private Ò sneak peekÓ screening of American climbing pioneer Jeff LoweÕ s Metanoia at 8 p.m. at Keene Central School.

JeffÕ s groundbreaking climbing accomplishments in the Adirondacks will make this a very special event for many local climbing enthusiasts. FridayÕ s screening will be a fundraiser for JeffÕ s Mountain

Foundation and will help offset the costs of making this film. Tickets for this special screening are $15 at the door, and all proceeds will benefit the foundation. As usual, there will also be some awesome auction items signed by Jeff and other surprises along the way!

On Saturday, renowned guide and mountaineer Fabrizio Zangrilli will present Ò Fast and Light on Mt. KenyaÕ s South Face.Ó Mt. KenyaÕ s 1,000+ meter South Face holds some of the rarest ice climbs on the planet. Come see FabrizioÕ s presentation of a 20-year goal to climb the 1,100 meter Ice Window route in a day. There will be a big raffle of gear donated by the event sponsors and plenty of tomfoolery. SaturdayÕ s slideshow will also be held at the Keene Central School, and will begin at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the slideshow are $10. Before the slideshow, the Keene Valley Fire Department and the Lake Placid Pub and Brewery will be hosting an All-You-Can-Eat Spaghetti dinner at the nearby fire hall starting at 5 p.m. Tickets for the spaghetti dinner are $15, with all proceeds benefiting the Keene Valley Fire Department. Get there early for this incredibly popular feast and join us after for the slideshow!

SundayÕ s entertainment will be accomplished alpinist Kitty CalhounÕ s Presentation - Ò Last AscentsÓ - at Keene Arts at 7:30 p.m.

Come see Kitty speak about routes that she has done in the mountains that may not get a repeat due to climate change. Whether or not you believe we can affect climate change, Kitty thinks we ought to at least try. Kitty will share how her lifestyle of voluntary simplicity has served her well in the mountains and how minimalism is a valid approach to affecting climate change. Both Fabrizio and Kitty will be leading instructional clinics throughout the weekend.

On Saturday and Sunday, demo gear will be available for testing at Adirondack Rock and River, located on Alstead Hill Road, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. There will be instructional clinics on ice climbing, mountaineering, snowshoeing and avalanche awareness on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. There are very limited openings still available. More detailed registration information is available at www. mountaineer.com/mountainfest.

Mountainfest is a charity event that supports local and regional non-profits every year. Last year, the event made a significant contribution to the Keene Kids Outdoors Club. We encourage all attendees to bring a nonperishable donation to the Keene Food Pantry to the weekendÕ s evening activities.

DEC recently issued a News Release regarding a draft review for their plans to modify the old Imperial Paper Mill dam located on the Saranac River in Plattsburgh.

Plattsburgh is one of only a few cities in North America with the potential to enjoy a major salmon run that occurs directly through the downtown area.

Unfortunately, the riverÕ s potential has never been fully realized due to the the difficulty salmon have in passing over an old, dilapidated dam that is located only a few miles upstream from the Big Lake.

DEC is seeking to inform the public and gather input on the preliminary plan addressing the Imperial DamÕ s safety issues. Ò DECÕ s plan will protect people that live, work and travel downstream of the dam. The proposal will also provide access to nine miles of upstream habitat for salmon and trout, while continuing to serve as a barrier to breeding sea lamprey.

A public availability session on the preliminary plan will be held at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 21 at the Town of Plattsburgh Town Hall at 151 Banker Road. Staff from DEC and its consulting firm will present information on the preliminary plan for the dam and the process for moving the project forward.

DEC will also answer questions and accept comments from the public. The meeting facility is wheelchair accessible. Please provide any requests for specific accommodation in advance to DEC at 518897-1248.

Comments may be mailed to DEC Regional Fishery Manager Lance Durfey, P.O. Box 296, Ray Brook, NY 12977; or e-mailed to Reg5fish@dec.ny.gov. Comments should be submitted by COB Friday, Feb. 6, 2015.

Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.

The Adirondack region continues to attract ice climbers who come to the region to take on the difficult challenge of ice flows and sheer cliffs on mountains such as Pok-O-Moonshine, Pitchoff, and others.
