ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Does something smell in your household?

The Housing Assistance Program of Essex County is issuing their last call for homeowners with failing septic systems to come forward so that the agency can apply for an annual Community Development Block Grant.

The agency needs 30 applicants to identify an ongoing need within the county.

Twenty more low-to-moderate income homeowners are needed.

The agency typically helps about 25 first-time homeown-

ers each year purchase homes.

Executive Director Alan Hipps said septic replacement is a common issue.

Replacing a failed system can be a costly endeavor, he said, and this application will allow the agency to peel off that one item from a list of possible home improvements and immediately get to work.

A site investigation and an engineered site plan are often required, while many systems are in difficult locations like near lakes and rivers.

Signs include frequent pumpings and flushings, pooling water and a pervasive smell.

Community Development Director Bruce Misarski cited a success story:

Last year, the agency received a call from a local family whose residence was surrounded by multi-million dollar homes.

The neighbors were complaining but felt hopeless because they couldnÕ t afford an overhaul.

HAPAC paid for the engineering and for the contractors to repair the ailing system.

The deadline for homeowners to step forward is Feb. 20.

Annual income limits for applicants are based on household size.

For a single-person household, the limit is $33,350. For a household of four, the limit is $47,600.

Prospective applicants are encouraged to HAPEC at 8736888 for more information.

NEWCOMB Ñ Residents of this small rural community rejoice, Newcomb will host its first ever Winter Fest on Feb. 14.

The celebration hopes to shine a light on all of the recreational activities that the township offers not only in the winter but year round, giving a little bit of credit where credit is deserved.

Kelly Stamas-Audino, head of the Chamber of CommerceÕ s Advertising Committee, moved to Newcomb just two years ago but is already feeling like part of the community. KellyÕ s connection with the area and her neighbors speaks volumes for what the town stands for. Ò We have owned property in Newcomb for almost 12 years but have only lived her full time for two winters but it is just amazing to me everything that is happening here in the last couple years,Ó said Kelly. Ò Knowing your neighbor and being involved in your community is just an easier way of life, a more relaxed way of life and a better quality of life...itÕ s everything.Ó Everything seems like a big word to describe such a small town, but Newcomb certainly has a lot to offer.

In conjunction with several winter time activities, Winter Fest will also bring awareness to the family fun that is waiting to be experienced in the expansive outdoor area that go by the name of Newcomb.

Local awarded ‘Individual Artist Grant’ NORTH CREEK Ñ Local artist Kate Hartley seeks community input in completing a new series of artwork, based on peoplesÕ ideas of the best experiences the Adirondacks have to offer. She explains: Ò I just got home from a cross country ski adventure with my chocolate lab, Willa. She broke trail through the 5Ó of fresh powder, bouncing back to check on my progress every few minutes, with the look of Labrador bliss on her face. ThatÕ s one of my very favorite ways to enjoy our Adirondack home Ð exploring the web of mountain trails at all times of the year. It would make some great artwork! Now, IÕ d like to ask you, Ô What is your ultimate Adirondack Experience?Õ Is it a certain wildlife encounter, a favorite scene, or an activity you enjoy here? When have you had one of those Ô This would be a great pictureÕ moments?Ó Hartley has been awarded an Individual Artist Grant from the Lower Adirondack Regional and New York State Arts Councils.

The plan is to create a series of mosaics about Ò the Adirondack Experience.Ó One goal of these grants is to involve community members in the creation of a new body of artwork. She has proposed that people not just view art once it’s finished, but to suggest the ideas that will inspire the artworks themselves.

Through working on the North Creek Mosaic Project for the past four years, Hartley has discovered that mosaics are a fasci-

nating combination of all the techniques one needs as a painter, such as drawing, proportion, color and perspective added to many of the challenges of sculpting, including shaping and carving tesserae and focusing on the essential technical considerations of cement adhesives.

The North Creek Mosaic Project has inspired her to create a series of smaller Adirondack mosaics. The Adirondack Experience series will consist of 10 finished mosaics, and accompanying framed watercolor and ink wash studies, incorporating various iconic Adirondack visions. The finished artworks can be trays, wall pieces, or even commissioned backsplashes for kitchen or bath.

Both the mosaics and a selection of the studies will be exhibited locally in North Creek, at the annual Lights On Fair in December, and hopefully at a Third Thursday Art Walk venue this summer. Some works will also be submitted to Members Exhibits at LARAC, and watercolor studies with the UHVWS, in 2015. Ò I am looking forward to the opportunity to explore mosaics further, and to learn about what other Adirondackers love about the regionÕ s beauty and adventures.Ó Send ideas and suggestions to katehartleyvt@yahoo.com, or call 251-9083.

Regional broadband, sewer projects could be competing for $500 million grant

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com ALBANY Ñ With an aim of jumpstarting the upstate economy, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has proposed a $1.5 billion economic stimulus Ñ three competitive awards of up to $500 million each, to fund initiatives proposed by three of the stateÕ s seven upstate regional economic development councils.

Cuomo announced the economic revitalization competition Jan. 13 in Rochester, and it is subject to legislative approval. These awards are in addition to the stateÕ s ongoing program of grants to the councils, which in 2014 received a total of $700 million for economic development.

Cuomo said that the successful awards would be granted to projects that would revitalize communities, strengthen critical infrastructure, bolster a regionÕ s workforce, grow tourism, or improve quality of life.

Warren County Economic Development Corp.

President Ed Bartholomew offered his thoughts this week about CuomoÕ s stimulus plan, and

identified the initiatives that might be submitted for a $500 million competitive award. ÒA ny proposal would need to have a transformative regional impact,Ó B artholomew said.

A top-priority project that could be proposed is to extend the reach of broadband access in Warren and Washington counties, Bartholomew said.

Another possibility could be to boost the regionÕ s involvement in technology, whether it be educational opportunities, research, or commercial implementation, he said. Nanotechnology might be a likely focus, as it has a growing presence in the region, he said.

Another potential initiative would be a program to boost efforts to eradicate Asian Clams in Lake George, or other invasive species there or elsewhere in Warren County or the southern Adirondacks, he said.

Another possible proposal for the $500 million is improvement of regional sewer infrastructure, which might involve connections between the existing sewer mains of Glens Falls, Moreau and Queensbury, perhaps with centralized sewer treatment, he said.

Bartholomew said he understood from initial reports of the proposal that road and bridge reconstruction projects would not be eligible for the awards.

Another potential project would be a collaborative initiative to boost tourism and hospitality efforts in Warren and Washington counties, focusing perhaps on the areaÕ s history Ñ or its arts, entertainment or recreational offerings, he said.

Cuomo said in his presentation that the $500 million award concept would share similarities with the Buffalo Billion program which has been credited with creating and retaining about 2,000 jobs. That program included establishing the Buffalo High-Tech Manufacturing and Innovation Hub, which involves a $1.7 billion publicprivate partnership to convert a vacant former manufacturing site into a campus for high technology manufacturing firms and green enterprises.

Bartholomew said that the Capital Region council has a formidable challenge ahead in devising a regional proposal for a $500 million award, as the councilÕ s jurisdiction incorporates

a half-dozen urban centers, including Glens Falls, Saratoga, Troy, Albany, and Schenectady and Hudson. The councilÕ s service region includes Warren, Washington, Saratoga, Rensselaer, Albany, Schenectady, Columbia and Greene counties.

The plans for the economic jumpstart initiative call for the competition to be launched April 15. Proposals would be due July 1, with winners announced in this fall.

Bartholomew said that area economic development leaders were already talking about projects that could potentially be proposed for a $500 million award.

Those concepts with the highest merit and strongest chance of being chosen will be discussed and developed in the coming months, then presented to the full council, Bartholomew said. ÒT his will be very competitive,Ó he said, noting that the Capital Region council would undoubtedly be taking advantage of the program if it is ratified by the state legislature. “Some very important, high-profile projects could benefit.”

How to jumpstart local main streets?

ectonic shifts are reshaping the North CountryÕ s economic landscape.

So why do our downtowns continue to look so shabby?

WeÕ re in a new era of multi-agency cooperation that is seeing insular townships inch forward with coordinated marketing and branding efforts for the first time ever.

A alphabet soup of nonprofit, public and private agencies have sprouted in recent years, all seeking to find common ground when it comes to plotting a sustainable path forward for community survival.

Organizations like the Nature Conservancy and the Adirondack Foundation have began to offer micro-enterprise programs designed to ignite entrepreneurship, while local officials have been champs when it comes to locking down state and federal grants.

At the state level, the region has seen over $63 million sprinkled down from Gov. Andrew CuomoÕ s regional economic development councils Ñ with another potential $500 million on the way if the legislature approves a new seven-region battle royale.

Building on that, the state has pledged to make high-speed broadband universal by 2019, an initiative that would make New York the most connected state in the union, a measure critical to the economic transformation of some of the most rural communities in the Adirondack Park.

And on the federal level, the promise of bipartisanship from our new Congresswoman Elise Stefanik paired with her capitol connections means the district will clearly benefit provided she delivers on her campaign promises.

This is all good stuff.

So, again, why do our communities continue to look so downtrodden?

ItÕ s a common sight Ñ Yawning storefronts, empty lots and rotting buildings.

Each community seems to have a glaring example of underutilized, neglected or abandoned space, be they Saranac Lake, Willsboro, Port Henry or Elizabethtown.

WhatÕ s the solution?

Obviously there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to jumpstarting each main street: Each community contains a different dynamic Ñ from PlattsburghÕ s ample lakefront access to Chesterfield’s lack of it — and we shouldn’t conflate public policy with the unique factors on the ground in each community, be they thorny infrastructure issues that have hobbled development or shortsighted elected officials.

But itÕ s worth publicly discussing.

While a comprehensive approach is needed that ties together the environmental, economic, business and tourism strands of our regionÕ s DNA, here are a few ideas we think deserve a closer look.

Open up. North Country communities should take a long, hard look into the EB-5 federal immigration program designed to wed foreign investors to regions in need of economic growth.

In exchange for citizenship, applicants must pledge to invest at least $500,000 in these areas, which are usually defined as small, rural and poor. Like here. The marriage of wealthy foreign nationals seeking investment opportunities to economically struggling communities seems like a win-win. DonÕ t buy into the anti-immigration rhetoric Ñ our willingness to bring others into the fold is what makes America so great.

Think big. Dovetailing from the immigration issue, a great tool to attract foreign investment is marketing neglected properties and parcels at the international level to generate interest.

WeÕ re not saying this as a backhand slap, but many small scale brokers don’t have the firepower to market some of these problem parcels to, say, a consortium of Saudi Arabian investors. Over the past year, New York has been quietly making inroads to market the state abroad. While finding a buyer for Uncle Cletus’ long-abandoned general store might not fall into the same category as Gov. CuomoÕ s plan to create a $35 million fund to grow the stateÕ s exports, it probably wouldnÕ t be a bad idea for private sellers and larger firms to bone up on what services the state has to offer and take it from there.

Get involved. While North Countryfolk come from superior stock Ñ weÕ re second-to-none when it comes to being neighborly and looking out for one another Ñ unfortunately, we can be really apathetic when it comes to civic participation. While bright spots exist in each community Ñ like Tupper LakeÕ s ARISE, the Ticonderoga and North Warren Chambers of Commerce and the North Creek Business Alliance, just to name a few Ñ our attendence at school board, town and county meetings is anemic, at best, even when discussing issues that directly affect our wallets. In the face of this growing inter-agency cooperation, the closer relationship from the state and an increasingly global economy, itÕ s easy to forget that sometimes the easiest and most effective tool for change is going to a meeting and raising some hell.

Will not stop caring

By Richard Cutting, Essex County Sheriff I recently read a letter from a Wisconsin police officer entitled “Today I Stopped Caring.”

In the letter, the officer talks about how a once noble profession has become hated and distrusted; about how he stopped caring because parents donÕ t teach their kids right from wrong and tell them that if they misbehave, the police will take them away.

The police are hated for the tickets we write, the arrests we make and again, for not being everywhere and making the arrest of the drunk to prevent hitting another car and killing someone.

We are hated for taking away Ò harmlessÓ drugs; for carrying guns; for not using a taser instead of a gun; for scaring kids; for shooting to stop the violence instead of wounding or shooting the gun out of the bad guyÕ s hand; for defending ourselves from attacks from thrown rocks and bottles and for being the front line between civilized society and those who prey on it.

Kinmen, Flight 235 and Me

By Sarah DeMola I work as a teacher trainer in Taipei and travel extensively. In the past 12 months, IÕ ve traveled about 30,000 kilometers to five cities outside of Taipei: Taichung, Taidong, Yilan, Kaohsiung.

And Kinmen.

If the city sounds familiar, itÕ s probably because of how it made the news last week.

Shortly after taking off from Taipei, TransAsia Airways Flight 235 struck an elevated roadway before falling into the Keelung River.

Forty of the 58 people on the flight died, including both pilots. Three people are still unaccounted for.

The flight was on-route from the Taiwanese capital to Kinmen, an outlying island located

We are hated for being the Ò governmentÓ who takes away your freedom, your guns and your liberty; we are the police state in military gear randomly attacking innocent people without reason.

We are Waco, Ruby Ridge and the bad cop who shoots innocents all rolled into one lone officer, who you may see, coincidently, on the side of the road changing a senior citizen’s flat tire or calming and caring for that abused animal.

No one wants us around, but instantly demands results and arrests when criminality invades their world, usually in 60 minutes or less as seen on TV. If we solve it, we are heroes. If not, we are incompetent, just look at online social media Ð they will tell you all about us.

The writer stopped caring because a video from somewhere in America shows a cop who forgot his oath, does something criminal himself and by extension, we are all that way. We have to work twice as hard to be fair and honest, to do our job and not to be in the news painted by that same brush.

We stop caring because of todayÕ s culture of instant connectivity, of not taking responsibility for actions, of taking and not giving back, of “what’s in it for me”; of instant gratification, of

idolizing gangsters, thugs, sexual promiscuity and of valuing these over hard work, honesty, dedication and achievement.

The original author ended his letter with Ò Yes, I stopped caring today, but tomorrow when I put that uniform back on, I will care again.Ó Here in the North Country, we are blessed with peace and police officers that do care.

They get discouraged, and they see the dark underbelly of society, but they put on the uniform each day, take a deep breath and do it all over again.

They go from a fatal accident, assault or suicide to the next call with a purpose. You will see the professionalism in tragic situations and in helping the senior citizen or the small child with a trivial issue that is the entire world to them and do it with the same dedication and caring.

You will find these officers invested in the community, they are members of public interest groups like the Elks and Kiwanis; in military organizations such as the American Legion, the VFW and the AmVets.

They are in your schools and youth organizations as coaches and referees. They are the people rebuilding the local ball field or driving kids to games and practices. They are just like

you except for the fact that every day when the uniform goes on, they know that they may not come home that night or ever again. That something or someone may take away those things that you take for granted, safety and security, life and liberty, but they do it because that is their calling and they care about their community and everything in it; people, schools, seniors, kids and even animals.

I have served the people of Essex County for almost 38 years with the Sheriff’s Office and have encountered innumerable officers from federal, state and local jurisdictions. I won’t lie and say they are all great officers: Some shouldnÕ t have chosen this career, but those are extremely rare and soon found and weeded out.

Those I meet and work with are the consummate professionals and I am proud of my association with each and every one. I am also proud of our culture here in the North Country where citizens recognize these officers and appreciate all they do to keep everyone safe and free.

Thank you North Country for seeing us as not only police and peace officers, but as people who care and go that extra mile to Ò protect and serveÓ as our oath demands.

just off the coast of Mainland China.

Due to its proximity, itÕ s a popular tourist and business destination for mainlanders.

Since this past August alone, I’ve been flown there 10 or 11 times.

TransAsia crashed in July and killed 48 people. After that, I stopped taking that airline. The first time, I thought it was a fluke.

But two times isn’t a fluke.

Kinmen is about 360 kilometers from Taipei.

The flight is comfortable, usually. It takes a little less than an hour. It gives me time to have a cup of coffee and land.

When I do, IÕ m always picked up and greeted at the airport by the smiling face of my coworker.

Kaoliang Liquor is based on the island. So going from the airport to the school, we drive past the Kaoliang plant and its huge moment, a liquor bottle two stories high.

And then I do my workshops and my teacher

observation.

I think my job is really important because it gives people more global viewpoints. Teaching English is like soft diplomacy Ñ one Taiwanese and one American discussing teaching methods, itÕ s just a cultural exchange.

ItÕ s important, creating relationships. And I think it has a huge impact on people.

So every time I fly, when I get there, I usually feel extremely relaxed.

The culture of Kinmen is special.

ThereÕ s a lot of ghost stories and superstition as a result of the military history, and everyone is very calm and relaxed.

ItÕ s population density is very low, the opposite of Taipei.

The food is incredible Ñ the specialty is taro and oysters.

Everything is made with love.

Everyone knows everyone, itÕ s a tiny, tiny island.

Many of the people who died in the crash were from Mainland China, which is very, very close Ñ about two kilometers from Kinmen.

Sixteen people on the island are my students.

And aside from the Americans who co-teach, just in my small network, I know about 50 people on the island.

Flight 235 crashed during our winter break when everyone was traveling. When it happened, everyone started putting up Facebook updates: Ò IÕ m safe, thanks for checking in.Ó That was really scary. I could have been on the plane.

Of all of the places, Kinmen is my favorite: the teachers, the food Ñ I like everything about Kinmen.

In fact, I love Kinmen, itÕ s a hidden gem.

And itÕ s so sad.

Church seeks donations for updates

NORTH RIVER Ñ The North River United Methodist Church is seeking donations for the Ò Let There Be LightÓ campaign to update the electrical system in the 168 year old church building.

The North River United Methodist Church was founded in 1847 in the hamlet of North River and is the second oldest church located in the Town of Johnsburg. According to Amy Sabattis member of the church and current trustee Ò We have had some success in raising funds through car washes and bake sales and we have had a few generous donations but we are still lacking the funding to complete the project. The fund-raising committee is looking for grants from foundations, too, but most private foundations say Ò no churches.Ó So, we have hit social media by using the site GoFundMe. The site will display our campaign but only when we hit the $500 mark. When we hit that mark our campaign will be posted for the whole world to see and the potential for donations is much greater.Ó If anybody would like to contribute to this fundraiser go to gofundme.com/lit3z4 or call Amy Sabattis at 251-2519.

Ski Trails or Ski Tales

W

e moved to my wifeÕ s home town (North Creek) in the late fall of 1969. I had a relatively new wife (2 and a half years) and a brand new daughter. I had no job but at 28 years old I had all the confidence of youth (Ha). I was confident that if nothing else I could Ò always work at the Ski CenterÓ . Well nothing else happened! So began 28 years in the ski business.

In February 1970 I became a full time employee of Gore Mt., who worked on lifts during peak times and did Ò whatever” the rest of the time. My first job was loading Gondola cars at the base of the mountain. (If I tell some untruths here it is because IÕ m 73 and canÕ t remember the truth, not because I only elect to remember the good parts).

During that winter of 1970 the gondola launched a car every eight seconds. There were two of us who were Ò loadersÓ in addition to one Ò launcherÓ and one Ò catcherÓ . The Ò catcher would catch the gondola cars returning to the base and escort them around the Ò bull wheelÓ unlock the door and hand them off to the Ò loadersÓ . The loaders would then Ò confront the Ò GuestsÓ , take their skis from them and load them onto the outside of the gondola car. If the Ò guestÓ wished to accompany their skis to the summit they were encouraged to Ò get into the damn carÓ .

Whether the Ò guests were in the car, which held their skis, or not the door was locked and launched to the summit by the launcher.

As I recall the line for the gondola might have been up to 35 minutes. So there really was reason behind the madness at the loading.

My next experience was Ò catchingÓ gondola cars at the summit. As you might imagine catching a car every 8 seconds and unloading four pairs of skis, running them to a ski rack then returning to the next car was an exercise for young men (I donÕ t remember any women in those days). Added to the experience was that the gondola barn entrance was fully exposed to the elements which meant that most of the time the footing was, to say the least precarious.

One of my jobs during the Ò whateverÓ times is what is remembered as Ò snowmaking in 1970Ó . I was assigned to assist Ò AlfredÓ on Ò windy hillÕ . We would spend six to seven hours shoveling snow from the edges of the trail onto the skiing surfaces. But the best part of that experience came at the end of the day when after proper instruction from Alfred we rode our long handled snow shovels down the mountain. It was an invigorating and wonderful experience which no one under 60 years old will ever have experienced. Alfred was a real man of the mountains, there was much fun made of him and some unkind things said about and done to him. Being sent to work with him on Ò windy hillÓ was not what I preferred to do those days however one thing is installed in my memory. I was as you can imagine, very poor at the time and my boots had a rather large tear in them, Alfred observed this and insisted that I work only in the areas where there was not much deep snow. Many years later I was Best Man at his wedding.

So my career in the ski industry continued into the 1970-71 ski season when I was promoted to janitor. It was inside; warm, no

bosses and I had all the leftovers to feed my dog (some of which were too good for the dog so I ate them). It also gave me time during the day to shovel snow from roofs and learn how to print the local news paper. It was a good winter working three jobs. I was Ò rolling in moneyÓ From those years at Gore I remember; Dick Brenan was General Manager, Bob Kahn was patrol director. George Freeborn was chief of Vehicle maintenance, Danny Freeborn was head of grooming, Mike Freeborn, Tom Douglass and Jay Ordway were groomers, Ray Allard (Cheri FergusonÕ s father) was ski school director, Her Grandfather, Joe Allard, was in charge of the sewerage treatment

plant, Helen Cornwall (my Mother-in-Law) was in charge of the Ò nurseryÓ (she server in that capacity for 33 years). Sterling GoodspeedÕ s mother Jane was the nurse. I had never put on a pair of skis in my life.

The next fall found me as Ò manager of the North Creek Ski BowlÓ . Not bad, from janitor to manager in one year! I served in this position for the next several years. I knew nothing about skiing but was a pretty good manager.

A bit of history as I know it about the Ski Bowl.

Skiing in North Creek started in the late 30Õ s with Ò ride up ski downÓ . After the war a group of local business men decided to start a ski area (site of the present Ski Bowl), and they called it Gore Mt. They purchased and had installed the first electric ski lift in the state of New York. It was a T bar and was on the very site of todayÕ s Hudson Chairlift. The vertical then as now was approx 900 ft and served three primary trails, the Hudson on the right, and Ridge and Oak Ridge on the left. This lift was installed in 1947. The day it opened for the first time one of the first riders was a youngster named Tom Butler. He tells me he couldnÕ t get to the top because the cable on some of the TÕ s was too short and it would lift the little kids clean off the ground. I know this to be true as it was still true in 1972 when I was the manager there. The operator would have to view the lift with binoculars to watch for kids being lifted off the ground and some times they would come back down with their skis headed down hill while being pulled uphill by the lift. At other times kids and some adults would fall on Ò the wallÓ and continue back down the lift dislodging nearly everyone below them. The operator would need to stop the lift for everyone to sort themselves out and get ready to start again.

But I digress, the ski area was owned by The North Creek Ski Company. Two of the owners were Judge Bennett (Grand father to Rick Bennett) and Dr. Braley, the local dentist. There were quite a few more, all local businessmen and women. At some point a much shorter T bar was added on the site of the present Village Chair. When New York State decided to build the present ski area they took the name Gore Mt. and the old ski area became Ò The Ski Bowl.Ó I donÕ t know much more about the early ownership or operation except that Bob Nessel was a manager there at some point before I got there in 1971.

Upon being hired in the fall of 1971 as manager my first duty was to see that the trails were mowed. The best, cheapest and really the only way to accomplish this was to hire a gang of men with scythes and do it by hand. I hired Alfred and he rounded up

some men and the job was accomplished in good speed.

At the same time I needed someone to run and maintain the lift and to groom the trails once the snow would come. Richard Stewart had worked on the lift for many years and knew as much about running it as anyone. He was hired and we worked together there for the next 5 years or so.

I could tell “Richard” stories forever but the one that first comes to mind is this one. There was no snow in Dec. 1971. On New Years Eve there was a big snow. Richard Ò rolledÓ all night and by daylight we were ready for our first paying skiers. We had a great crowd and things went well for the first hour. Then I got a call from Richard who was running Ô the Big LiftÓ , saying that he couldnÕ t keep it going and that the trouble was with the safety circuit. The cure was for us to start at the top and Ò cleanÓ the circuit. So with a huge line at Ò the Small LiftÓ we made our way to the top. We worked our way down the lift until we were on the tower at the Ô top of the wallÓ . I remember that it was a bright and beautiful day. As I looked down I saw this very long line of Ò pissed offÓ skiers trying to ski this very short lift. I was thankful to be up on the mountain not answering all the calls for money back at the ticket window. Welcome to my first day of management in the ski business.

Anyway as we are literally hanging (safety belts were invented then but we had none and would not have used them if we had any) off this tower. It would have been about a 75 to 100 foot fall if we had made a miscue and Richard spits his tobacco juice onto the ground and says Ò If I owned one of these god dammed ski areas, IÕ d only run it in the summertimeÓ .

I survived at this position, for several years. Some of the little kids who were Ò hellionsÓ on the slopes included Goody Goodspeed, his cousin Chucky and another hot shot by the name of Pete Burns.

Our first ski patrol “boss” was another Stewart, Richards uncle -------- then came the Harrington Twins and after a while Ed Manna. Some of the men who worked there during that period were, Tom Roblee, Donny Pierson Sr., Jack Prouty, Jeff Fosdick, John Monroe and others whose names have faded from my memory.

Some time in the mid 70Õ s I was able to obtain a full time position at Gore. I started in the summer working on a Ò paintingÓ crew. Carol RichardsÕ father was in charge, as he was also in charge of the lift operations crew during the summer. The crew consisted of him, myself, Dandy Don OÕ Brian (a ski patroller in the winter), Rick Valenue and Tom Savage. We painted anything that did not move. Dandy Don and I painted the entire Ò East ChairÓ (all the towers) with a brush.

I did spend 12 months, not in the ski business when I built then operated a store in Aviation Mall. Can you believe not seeing the winter sun for a whole ski season? Anyway the next winter I was back at the Ski Bowl for the last time.

On July 4th 1977 the owner of West Mt. came to see me and offered me a job as “snowmaker” with a salary and benefits including family insurance for $300/ week. That was a very good job in those days. I worked there for 14 months and was then promoted to Mt. Manager.

After two years of comminuting to Glens Falls during most of that time and then having been forced, as Mt. Manager to take a place in Lake George for the winter, I began to look for greener pastures. I found them at Loon Mt. in Lincoln NH. In July 1979 I accepted the position of Ò Property ManagerÓ and moved myself to Lincoln, leaving my wife and two daughters back in North Creek until the fall of 1980 when they joined me there for the next 20 years. I had still not put on a pair of downhill skis.

Wild or not, off to the woods we go

C

urrently, the Adirondack Park remains the largest state protected area in the contiguous United States. The Park, encompassing over 6 million acres of public and private lands, is the largest park in the contiguous United States, and the largest National Historic Landmark.

Covering a landmass roughly the size of the state of Vermont, the historic Adirondack Park encompasses over a million acres of protected lands, which represents over 85 percent of the total remaining wilderness in the eastern United States. It remains a vast and wild land!

Despite such prestigious credentials, itÔ s estimated that nearly 95 percent of Adirondack Forest Preserve lands are located less than 5 miles distance from the nearest highway, and there are currently over 5,000 miles of developed roads crisscrossing the 6 million acre Park.

In addition to developed roads, there are also many miles of undeveloped dirt roads, private roads and logging tote roads throughout the region.

Nearly ninety-five percent of the Adirondack Forest Preserve, including several designated Wilderness areas, is located within five miles of the 5,000 miles of roadways in the Adirondack Park.

In 1999, a team of Conservation Biology Institute researchers conducted a feasibility study to determine the viability of a proposed wolf restoration effort in the Park. Unfortunately, the parkÕ s road density measured slightly less than one mile of highway for every square mile of land, which is considered the minimum threshold necessary to ensure wolf survival.

While it appears an untracked square mile of land would easily support a wolf, the road density also indicates how easy it would for hunters and trappers to gain access and cause them harm. As a result, the proposed restoration efforts were dropped.

Several years ago, I took up a challenge to chart out the extent of quiet waters and lands located within the region.

Research indicates road noise, such as the sound of jake brakes on a semi truck, can carry a distance of over six miles overland, while motorboat noise can travel an equal distance over water. A train horn can carry over 10 miles distant, depending on atmospheric pressure.

Based on these figures, I used a compass to scribe a series of 6-mile circles all over a map of the Adirondack Park. As I covered the map with dark circles representing these unnatural sounds, it quickly became apparent there are very few areas in the Park that are immune to sound pollution.

Of course, there was no need to mark up a map with evidence of light pollution. Although the region retains a reputation for having some of the darkest night skies in the eastern United States, there is simply no way to escape evidence of mankind while gazing at the great beyond, whether it is a passing aircraft, an orbiting satellite or the space station.

Despite such realities, the Adirondack Park is still one of the wildest, most remote areas in the country, which is no small feat when considering it is located within a dayÕ s travel from the major metropolitan centers of New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Montreal, and Ottawa. Fortunately, it is still a place where a man, or woman can become lost and find themselves in the process. Despite the fact that it encompasses hundreds of miles of marked hiking trails,

News Enterprise • February 14, 2015 | 11

including the historic 116 mile long, NorthvillePlacid Trail, as well as some of the finest flatwater paddling routes and challenging whitewater rivers in the east, it is still possible to find seclusion in the Adirondack region.

Researchers from Project Remote, who have been cataloging remote locations in each of the 50 United States, visited the Adirondack region in the summer of 2012. Their determination of remoteness is based primarily on the total distance from an established road.

Many backcountry enthusiasts were shocked when their research indicated New YorkÕ s most remote location near Oluska Pass on the Northville Placid Trail, was only 5.3 miles from the closest road. The site which was located about a half-mile from the Oluska Pass lean-to on the Northville-Placid trail, is about 5.3 miles from the Blueberry Parking Lot, and just a short hike from Noah RondeauÕ s old camp at Cold River City.

However, itÕ s also important to note the Blueberry Parking Lot is located about 6 miles beyond the paved Coreys Road. The total distance from a road is not the only significant measure of a location’s remoteness.

In fact, buffer areas such as private lands, timberlands, swamps, bogs, blowdown and difficult, impenetrable or steep terrain must also be taken into consideration. The more difficult the journey, the less likely you are to run into fellow travelers, and the more remote it appears.

Conversely, if using the U.S. Forest ServiceÕ s Recreational Opportunity Spectrum methodology to determine the classification of Adirondack Park lands, where key primitive areas must be further than 3 miles distance from any motorized use (roads and snowmobile trails or 2 miles from waters where motorboats are permitted), the sum total of Adirondack Park primitive areas would include less than three percent of the parkÕ s 6.5 million acres, or roughly 180,000 acres. This would be a far cry from the currently accepted total of 1,030,000 acres. In reality, the classification of a remote, chunk of Adirondack land is in the eye, and ear of the beholders. When you are new to the game, itÕ s sort of like your first prom date, she may be cute at first, but as you grow and mature, you may wonder what you saw in her.

Conversely, she may have wondered just the same.

In reality, you both had your own, personal perspective on how the night went. Your outlook may have been a wild wilderness, while her perception was of a lowly primitive, performance, and to each their own.

Often when you want a little more, it helps to wish for a little less. In such a case, primitive lands can be just as exciting and lonely as the fabled wilderness, even if it isnÕ t your first rodeo!

While wilderness areas in the park continue to draw the hordes, many wild or primitive lands remain relatively vacant, due more to the publicÕ s perception of a designation than to the reality on the ground. A sweet suite can still be found just a few minutes hike off the main drag, especially if the main drag is a bumpy, old dirt road.

Oil spill response M

inus 18 degrees was displayed on the console of the truck when my cohort picked me up for the trip. Brisk I thought, with a wind, it could be a cool day. We were headed to the Cold Weather Spill Response Training in Plattsburgh.

With unit trains rolling through our area carrying Bakken Crude oil, there is a concern about accidents, so spill response training was requested by local Emergency Services.

Canadian Pacific Railroad, along with Safety Training and Response Strategies, LLC sponsored this course so firefighters and HAZMAT teams could get some “on ice” training. Not all accidents or fires happen on 60 degree sunny days.

Meeting at the South Plattsburgh Fire hall, we started with classroom training involving the types of ice, and ice weight bearing capacities. The only really safe way to gauge a sheet of ice is to test it by boring holes. Five to six inches was considered the minimum thickness for human activity. In the event of a rail tanker spill, with a crew of workers, and equipment, the thickness would need to be much more, to be considered safe.

Once we got the basics on ice, we studied the classification of crude oils, such as gasoline, ethanol, sour and sweet crudes, diesel, and bitumen fuels. Based on the specific gravity of each fuel, they either float or sink. That makes a difference in how you contain and capture the fuel in the event of a rail tanker derailment. Tactics also vary in a still lake atmosphere, versus a stream current.

Flash points of each fuel were discussed, along with viscosity and how the outside temperature effects each fuel classification. The main objective of the class however, was on how to isolate and capture the flow of fuel in a safe manner for cleanup.

After lunch, we met at the Wilcox dock on Lake Champlain. Pulling up to the dock, I noticed a stiff wind out on the lake, snow blowing, and over cast skies. It was going to be a brisk one for sure.

Subzero temperatures are appropriate for a cold weather training day. You train in the conditions that you might find in your area, and here minus 10 degree weather is normal. Training in a warm building for a cold water event is what a lot of guys like, they donÕ t want to get cold or dirty. The reality is you need to train in the worst conditions.

It increases the danger, but safety is top priority, and then comes the work. ItÕ s our job! We train in, and for the worst, and hope for the best!

Our class included, NYS Fire Academy, Plattsburgh Fire Fighters, Essex County HAZMAT, Coast Guardsmen, Native American Fire Fighters, NYS Department of Environmental Conservation Spill Response, and local fire departments. We totaled around 35 attendees, and not one whimper from the group. We literally dug in the snow and ice and trained.

Safety was critical! We worked on 18 inches of ice that day, which was safe for a group and all the equipment needed, including a small vehicle to transport the tools and Ò man toysÓ . All, Ò on iceÓ trainees wore flotation devices, ice cleats and were safety rope tethered, when near any open holes or using cutting equipment. Trained cold water/ ice rescue staff, monitored the group, and were there in the event of someone breaking through or slipping into an open hole. This was the 3rd class this week, so there were openings and weak spots from previous training days, so safety was imperative.

After splitting into groups, we used chainsaws to cut 2 by 3 foot blocks of ice which we removed with a frame and pulley system. The holes allowed access to monitor water quality, subsurface oil flows, and for pumping out simulated floating oils under the ice if needed.

A special chainsaw adapted sled was used to cut slots, which we then slid plywood into. Rebar was inserted through the plywood to maintain the depth needed. The plywood would extend below the ice and form a dam to help control the direction and flow of floating oils to a pump out site.

For surface spills, simple dams were built by shoveling snow into berms and then watering them down to create frozen barriers. Another method of surface flow control was to cut parallel slots 6 to 8 inches apart and 6 to 8 inches in depth using a chainsaw. The ice is then chipped out between the slots forming a trench. A trench could be used to control the flow and direction of surface oils in order to contain and remove the spilled crude, or other fuels.

After 3 hours of intensive training we met in a warming tent and completed a debriefing. All agreed that it was an excellent program and we all wanted the advanced class.

Whether itÕ s Bakken Crude, Bio-fuels, organic or in-organic substances, they are here to stay and part of our economic life. As First Responders, we are learning how to deal with railroad spills and containment procedures.

We trained to protect our waterways and lake, another critical part of our economic life.

It was a very cool day, and IÕ m not just talking about the weather!
