DOG DAYS

Minerva School’s final shot

This Week LONG LAKE

Rare third budget vote held Thursday

By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen

Local singer/ songwriter returns for shows

mauranda@denpubs.com MINERVA Ñ The future of Minerva Central School hangs in the balance, pending the outcome of a third attempt to pass its nearly $5.1 million dollar proposed budget.

On Thursday voters in the district will have the opportunity to yea or nay the budget for the third time, with approval from New York State Education Commissioner John King Jr. To recap the budget turmoil, the districts first attempt to pass the budget which requires a 60 percent super-majority as it is over the districts 2.75 percent tax cap failed on May 20.

A second vote was held June 17 resulting in a 59 percent approval Ñ slightly less than the 60 percent super-majority needed to implement the proposed budget.

In an unusual turn of events following that vote, the district had a discrepancy with the number of voters signed in to vote and the number of votes that were registered by the voting machine. Subsequently, the district filed an appeal with the Department of Education to hold a third attempt at the vote with a correctly functioning machine.

The appeal was approved July 7 and planning for a third vote began.

This time around the district will be using paper ballots to record votes, Superintendent Tim Farrell said.

NEWCOMB Ñ Paul SmithÕ s college is set to partner with Newcomb Central School for the 2014-15 school year and well into the future.

Under their agreement Newcomb students who pay a contracted tuition of $20 per credit hour with Paul SmithÕ s will have the opportunity to earn up to 45 college credits prior to high school graduation. Ò It is necessary to have a true college program in our high school,Ó said Skip Hults Newcomb Central Superintendent. Ò The teachers here will effectively

become adjunct professors of Paul SmithÕ s.Ó Hults notes that the biggest change in the advanced placement program for Newcomb will be a larger course offering. The district is set to offer its students 10 advanced studies courses including finite math, english composition, financial accounting, business law and physics.

The district which has struggled in the past with budgetary issues and enrollment numbers feels this agreement will draw even more international students to the school. Ò This will allow us to reach out to the brightest of the bright,Ó said Hults. Ò WeÕ re sweetening the deal

for many international students, who could potentially transfer to Paul SmithÕ s and continue their education more easily, and more cheaply. This will open the door for a longer stay.Ó A longer stay that can only improve the economic forecast and challenges in the district and community. Ò We are so excited this is in the works,Ó said John M. Wills president of Paul SmithÕ s. Ò As the college of the adirondacks, we have long been committed to helping park communities meet challenges.Ó CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

Singer/Songwriter and Native Long Laker comes home

By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

NORTH CREEK Ñ Alex Smith plans a return to the area on the coattails of his most recent national tour. Smith will be performing at Basil and WickÕ s on Aug. 1 and the Russell Opera House on Aug. 2.

Smith, has been on a cross country tour this summer spanning from Vermont to Colorado.

When he spoke to the News Enterprise he was on a bus minutes outside of Chicago to play an evening event.

Smith credits his love for folk music to his dad, a boat builder, writer, banjo player and historian.

He states in his biography that all around the house growing up he heard the artistic mussings

of Pete Seeger and Bob Dylan, which he credits with forming his early love of the folk genre.

In his new album titled Hamilton County, Smith credits the work of Adirondack folk legends Dan Berggren, Chris Shaw and Peggy Lynn as his sources of inspiration. ÒA lex Smith offers a rewarding musical journey weather its up a mountain trail or down some small town alley,Ó said Berrgren. ÒH e sings stories of struggle and love with lumberjack gusto.Ó Smith also give accolades to the Long Lake and surrounding communities in providing him with material that he has used in traditional as well as contemporary music. ÒI t was the older country music that really influenced my selections,” said Smith. “It was the idea of promoting a sense of pride in the tra-

dition of oneÕ s culture, while at the same time speaking about the issues presented in modern times.Ó This, Smith adds is the backbone of his music.

Chris Shaw agrees.

“Alex Smith personifies the next generation of Adirondack singer-songwriters,Ó s aid Fox. During his fourth national tour this summer, Smith played over 20 venues and traveled thousands of miles lyriciszing the works of Hamilton County. ÒT here is something really special about coming home and playing this album here,Ó said Smith. ÒWh en you sing a song other places about the Raquette River people can enjoy it but when you sing it here, they know the place and exactly what you are talking about.Ó Smith explained that he wanted his fans here at home to know that as great as it has been touring around the country nothing feels as right as playing at home.

Local musician Alex Smith returns from a nationwide tour to play two events this weekend.

Indian Lake hosts Hamilton Co. invasive species symposium mauranda@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE Ñ As part of the New York State Invasive Species Week, on Tuesday, July 8, the Indian Lake Ski Hut served as the venue for a symposium offered by the Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District.

Though the symposium focused on the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid and the Balsam Woolly Adelgid, the morning opened with Caitlin Stewart, Conservation Educator from the Hamilton County District introducing Hilary Smith from the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program (APIPP).

PRISMs APIPP is one of 8 Partnerships for Regional Invasive Species Management, (PRISMs) throughout the State. Smith went on to explain that APIPP has 3 full time staff, 1 seasonal staff member, more than 30 cooperating partners, hundreds of volunteers and is funded by the Environmental Protection Fund (EPF) and contracted with the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).

Smith explained that to help prevent or minimize the harm caused by invasive species on New YorkÕ s environment, economy and the health and well being of the StateÕ s citizens, PRISMs are intended to coordinate invasive species management functions. These include coordinating partner efforts, recruiting and training citizen volunteers, identifying and delivering education and outreach, establishing early detection monitoring networks and implementing direct eradication and control efforts. This symposium is just one of the many events planned throughout the summer.

Ms. Smith also provided an overview of the new campaign, Ò Stop the Invasion: Protect NY from Invasive SpeciesÓ . The campaign is designed to increase and focus public attention, knowledge and activism on the invasive threats to the many unique water and terrestrial resources in the Adirondacks. The objective is to motivate the public to learn about, look for and report the presence of in-

vasive (non-native) aquatic and terrestrial plants, animals, insects, etc. that cause harm to the environment, citizens and the economy of the Region.

Smith directs anyone interested in learning about and participating in the programÕ s activities and events to visit www.adkinvasives.com or call APIPP at 518-576-2082.

The next segment of the symposium was conducted

by Mark Whitmore, Forest entomologist, Cornell University and was devoted to an understanding of the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA), its threat, identification, prevention and control.

Whitmore explained that there are 2 host trees: Spruce, where the sex takes place and Hemlock populated by females only. The HWA feeds deep within plant tissues by inserting its long sucking mouthparts (stylets) into the underside of the base of hemlock tree needles. It taps directly into the treeÕ s food storage cells, not the sap. The tree responds by walling off the wound created by the insertion of the stylets. This disrupts the flow of nutrients to the needles and eventually leads to the death of the needles and twigs. Dieback of major limbs can occur within two years.

Whitmore made the point that HWA has an impressive reproductive potential. One female in the winter generation produces an average of 200 eggs which in turn mature and each female of this adult spring generation produces on average another 200 eggs resulting in 40,000 eggs in one year-- starting from one individual female! Thus, HWA populations grow rapidly in a relatively short period of time.

Heavy HWA infestations, particularly in the southern Appalachian Mountains, can kill hemlock trees in as little as four years, with older trees dying more quickly. However, Whitmore explains that for reasons still under investigation, some infested trees in parts of New England survive for 10 years or more.

Whitmore pointed out that HWA (from Japan, China and / or the Northwest U.S.) has been in New York for at least 20 years, but that it is not in the Adirondack Park as of yet.

Mark Whitmore of Cornell University discusses invasive species during outdoor segment of symposium held in Indian Lake, July 8.

Whitmore showed a map and explained that it was originally confined to the lower Hudson Valley but it has since moved North near Albany and West into the Catskills. It was detected in the Finger Lakes Region in 2008 and has spread from the southern parts of Seneca and Cayuga Lakes and is now found from Skaneateles Lake on South to Binghamton and West to the Allegany State Park. Whitmore believes that HWA spread is aided by wind and the movement of birds.

As part of the presentation, Whitmore exhibited another map outlining the enormous amount of Hemlock forest living in the Adirondack Park.

He made the point that the opportunity exists here to start now in an effort to prevent or at least minimize the damage that an HWA infestation could mean to Adirondack Hemlock forests.

Whitmore explained that detecting new HWA infestations at the leading edge of its range is critically important for slowing the spread of HWA. The first signs of HWA are the presence of the white, woolly ovisacs on the underside of twigs, most often on the newest growth. This white, waxy wool is most easy to observe with the naked eye or through binoculars January through June. Other signs of infestation include graying and dropped needles and limb dieback.

Currently, the two approaches for managing HWA infestations are chemical insecticides and the use of natural enemy predator species as biological control. Whitmore gave an overview of the use of insecticides and that their thereat to the environment

precludes treatment of whole forests or stands near water, but went on to explain how they could be used in smaller private woodlots and directed those interested to information on www.nyis.info pertaining to management of specific invasives Whitmore did offer that there is some good recent evidence in control of HWA via the use of biological control, especially regarding release of the predator Laricobius nigrinus. This predator has been released in 14 locations in the Finger Lakes since 2008 with large numbers of predators recovered and a slight recovery from the ravages of HWA in the crowns of residual hemlocks. Supplies of the predator are very limited and it will take years for the population to build to the level that they will be able to control HWA. Ultimately, Whitmore feels that, at least in the immediate future, it will be the combination of chemical and biological control that will need to be relied on to do the job of controlling HWA. This symposium is the first part of a two part educational and activism effort toward controlling HWA. The second part will be an HWA Citizens Science Survey and Detection Workshop. It is an early detection initiative that will teach tips and techniques to search your favorite hemlock stands for signs and symptoms of HWA. It will take place on July 31st from 10:30 am to 3:00 pm at the Adirondack Mountain Club, 814 Coggins Road, Lake George. RSVP by July 24th to Cathy Pedler, cathy@ adk.org or by calling 518-4493870.

ing upper stem often invaded by wood destroying fungi.

The second type of attack is more quickly devastating.

Here, explained Denham, the main bole or stem of the tree is attacked directly by the BWA. Here the BWA populations often reach densities of 100 to 200 BWA per square inch of bark surface. Generally, the foliage in a dying tree under this type of attack turns yellow then deep red or brown. Attacks of this type generally result in rather rapid tree death in as little as 3 years. During a section of the symposium a Forest Survey was done and some discussion took place over the rather rapid death of some host trees in the area.

One attendee discussed seeing some trees apparently succumb in a matter of several months. It was postulated that the BWA infestation could also make the host tree more susceptible to attack from borers and other invading insects adding to the rapidity of decline. During the field section, Mark Whitmore presented the group with bark taken from infected trees that showed clear evidence of widespread invasion of the bark and underlying stem of the trees.

More information about BWA identification and management can be found in Forest Insect and Disease Leaflet 118 (Revised May 2006) from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service.

initiate a long-term citizen science-monitoring program for HWA in the Adirondacks and will include indoor and outdoor activities. Biologists and forest ecologists will train participants in the basic protocols for surveying HWA in a field setting and will ask volunteers to adopt a study area to survey after training.

Balsam Woolley Adelgid (BWA) Jason Denham of the Department of Environmental Conservation was on hand to cover the BWA invasive. He made the point that, Ò 90% of what we learned this morning about HWA, holds true here.Ó But, unlike HWA, BWA is in the Adirondacks and has been here for quite some time.

It too is a tiny sucking insect.

It was introduced into North America from Europe. Denham explained that it probably first entered the Northeastern United States and Southeastern Canada around 1900, presumably by way of infested nursery stock. BWA has since caused significant damage and mortality to true firs in both eastern and western forests with some localities seeing firs slowly being eliminated from the ecosystem as adelgid populations continue to spread to previously non-infested areas.

Despite it long term residency here in the U.S., Denham remarked that it is only recently that the invasive has been given any serious attention.

Denham explained that BWA has two types of attacks.

The first takes place out near terminal twigs of the tree and results in a symptom referred to as Ò goutingÓ . It appears as stunting of the terminal growth with distinct swellings around the buds and branch nodes, with the largest swellings occurring in the fastest growing parts of the crown and on trees that have been lightly infested for a long time.

These trees will decline slowly over a period of many years.

Here the growth is retarded and often takes on a “fiddle” shape or the tree experiences top curl, with the dead or dy-

Overtime costs, shift changes A and a missing person

L

eading up to 4th of July weekend the Warren County SheriffÕ s Department led an investigation of a missing boater off the shores of the town of Hague.

Most of the readers in our southern circulation are familiar with the story of William Scott. For those that may not be, here is the history in brief; Scott, of Westerlo, New York, went missing July 1 when the boat he was riding in with two other men capsized. The initial call for emergency response came in to Warren County Emergency services at approximately 10 a.m. The Warren County SheriffÕ s Department arrived on scene within 30 minutes of the initial call and spearheaded the search for the missing man. Rescue efforts included a state police helicopter, Lake George Park Commission boats and staff including scuba units from Warren and Saratoga counties. The search went on for four days, and on Friday, July 4 divers recovered ScottÕ s body.

Denton Publications enlisted a staff reporter to cover the search efforts, and, as a result, many questions stemmed from the handling of the initial critical hours of the rescue. By 6 p.m. July 1, the Warren County SheriffÕ s boat patrol left the scene and the search did not resume until 9 a.m. the following morning. Why, with three hours left of daylight within the first 12 hours of a search, would efforts be called off so early? Sunrise the following day was at 5:17 a.m. so why did search efforts not resume until 9 a.m.?

Is it staffing issues? Overtime costs? Were efforts made to ask other departments to assist?

These are the questions we have been asking ourselves since.

In late June, Warren County SheriffÕ s Department announced changes to their boat patrol program. Sheriff Bud York hired seven retired police officers to work part-time for the department, manning boat patrols on the lake and other smaller tributaries in the area. In an interview with the Glens Falls Post Star, York stated that, “this will allow the full-time officers, who served on the boat patrol, to stay on the road cutting overtime costs for the department.Ó In the same interview, York also said, Òt his should allow for more complete coverage of the busy lake because the boat patrol officers won’t be juggling road shifts as well. We will have coverage on the lake for all of the firework shows.”

During the same time period, the Ticonderoga Police Department was stripped of nearly half its

force when three officers accepted lateral transfers into the Warren County SheriffÕ s Department.

Staffing for the department doesn’t appear to be an issue.

That leaves overtime costs. In 2012, the department was taken to task by the Warren County Board of Supervisors over overtime costs incurred by officers working events in the region.

In the report, provided by then SheriffÕ s Maj. C. Shawn Lamouree, $101,000 in overtime costs were a result of officer presence at local events that did not provide reimbursement to the department.

It is our understanding that a majority of the department work 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. shifts. This would explain the sheriffÕ s prompt departure from the Hague scene at 6 p.m, allowing adequate time to return their boat to its proper location, secure the equipment and clock out for the day right around 7 p.m.

In a search with these parameters, the first day is normally considered to be a rescue attempt and information provided to the SheriffÕ s Department was that Scott left the vessel with a life preserver. It would be a fair assumption to believe that after eight hours he still may have been alive, especially considering the last visual sighting of the man was of him above water.

It may have been the collective decision of the SheriffÕ s Department to leave the scene vacant in order to save on overtime costs, but other options were certainly at play. In rescue attempts throughout the region, other local emergency personnel have been called in to assist when time limitations of divers or above waters efforts were exhausted. Groups such as the state police dive team or water rescue teams from fire departments throughout the region are utilized. Other options could have included aerial rescue efforts and local fire and rescue units that have active boats on the water including Hague, Bolton and Horicon, among others.

Weeks later, there is certainly no way of knowing if the search had continued past 6 p.m. July 1 if the outcome would have been different.

Nevertheless, if the possibility exists of finding a living person rather than a body, shouldnÕ t every last effort be exhausted in doing so, regardless of cost? ÑD

Letters to the Editor

Questions editorial To the News Enterprise: Your editorial, July 17 claiming Ò statistics prove that guns can and do save livesÓ requires some close examination. The column from which this information was culled, by your own disclosure, is a paid advertisement by GunLaws.com geared to disproving liberal media information on guns used for self-defense. Some of the statistics stated in the advertisement to make the case are, anecdotal. The actual statistics from the Florida State University Study cited were reported by Criminologist Gary Kleck in 1993 and revisited but not revised by the NRA in January, 2014.

NRA still clings to those outdated statistics that declare defensive gun uses number about 2.5 million a year. Not quoted in your editorial is the recent (January, 2013) statistic from the Violence Policy Center ( Bureau of Justice) reporting that same number is in reality less than 28,000Ñ close to 100 times fewer than the NRA outdated statistic. Furthermore, the editorial quotes a recent study, without identifying the source as the Center for Disease Control which was given the task to gather information and make recommendations on gun violence.

The quote seems to indicate that the statistics stated about defensive gun use are those researched by the Center itself rather than from a compilation of studies. In fact, in reading the whole CDC report, one would find it concludes that “gun violence cannot occur without the presence of gunsÓ as well as Ò more effort needs to be put into characterizing the scope and nature of gun violence.Ó Finally, when an editorial states an opinion such as Ò Ñ the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” it needs to give credit to man who first delivered the quote: Wayne La Pierre, President of the NRA, in a television interview after the shooting at Newtown.

Liking the water To the News Enterprise: The Town of Warrensburg has done a great job improving the the water quality for those of us getting town water. Anyone who hasnÕ t tried the water lately might want to give it a try (youÕ ll probably be pleasantly surprised).

My wife and I used to have to spend a lot of money on our own water filters to make the water drinkable taste-wise. Heating elements in our water heaters and dishwashers corroded quickly, and the color of the water in a full bathtub was some-

times quite interesting.

When the Town began installing the new water meters in the last few years, I was worried IÕ d be paying more for the same Ò hardÓ water. IÕ m happy to see that the Town has instead dramatically improved the water quality. Thank you to the Town Board, Supervisor Geraghty, and the Water Department--It makes a big difference in daily life.

Name carefully To the News Enterprise: As residents and taxpayers, we have been watching the large new building being built to house the Warrensburg Health Center. It is our hope that when this building is dedicated it will be named to honor all the people who have made it possible. To name a few all the past and present: Town Supervisors, Town Board Members, Health Center Board of Directors, taxpayers, patients and staff. The town and its people have financially supported the health center for years and helped to make it viable and valuable, not any single person. Perhaps the people of the area could submit names that would be a way to dedicate the building to all who have helped to make it grow and further serve the people of thus area.

WiFi in the Adirondacks?

To the News Enterprise: I donÕ t want to appear that IÕ m deliberately trying to hog your Letters to the Editor feature, but I can speak both as a 50-year Adirondack trout fisherman, and as a website creator with 14 years of experience with WiFi in the Adirondacks.

I live in California and go trout fishing in the Adirondacks every year. I want and expect quiet and solitude in a rustic Adirondack setting where I can Ò get away from it allÓ and enjoy the pleasures of trout and steelhead fishing in a pristine setting.

I also run ads on multiple websites and spend several hours maintaining these websites every day that I am in the Adirondacks. ItÕ s safe to say that I am crippled in this work if I donÕ t have Internet access. A general lack of WiFi availability together with, at best, sporadic cell phone access has always been a problem for me.

Recently, however, WiFi access and telephone access has greatly improved with almost all motels and many restaurants offering free WiFi, and some, free long distance telephone service. Essentially, there is no serious lack of Internet access any more for persons who need it.

However, primarily for convenience reasons, I cannot see myself working several hours every day on the banks of the Hudson, Indian River, Mill Creek or the Boreas RiverÐ even if WiFi was available.

If it comes to an either/or choice, I have to align myself with those persons who would limit WiFi to campgrounds only or none at all.

Personally, I feel that staying Ó always connectedÓ does a great disservice to the Adirondack experience. Adirondack campgrounds are where outdoor enthusiasts should be able to find unmolested solitude.

Many years ago, in Yosemite Park before the Internet, motor home people Ò stayed connectedÓ by crowding the CB radio spectrum so badly that there were essentially no open channels available for new conversations!!!! If ubiquitous WiFi becomes a reality in the Adirondacks, you can expect similar massive entertainment usage, not the occasional business usage.

I would hate to see this happen in the Ó Forever WildÓ Adirondacks. The Adirondacks are not a Mall where people can go to text and connect.

Ramblings

ereÕ s an up and coming sure thing profession of the future in the Adirondacks: tree surgeon/remover of dead trees/cutter upper of same. We are going to need swarms of tree surgeons and processors who can safely and efficiently remove dead and dying trees from urban and rural areas. I went to a well-attended seminar last week, presented by a forest entomologist (bug expert) from Cornell and a DEC employee whose subject was a tree it seems there is no hope for, the balsam fir.

Mark Whitmore was talking about one of the latest man-made tree problems about to hit the Adirondacks. The hemlock wooly adelgid has killed virtually all the massive hemlocks in the Great Smokies and is now as far north as Albany. Adelgids are tiny sucking insects which make a white waxy covering which is visible on hemlocks and balsam firs.

On hemlocks they focus on the base of needles, the adults inserting their mouthpieces into the tree to imbibe the sap. Once a hemlock wooly adelgid is there, it stays until it or the tree dies. The tips of the underside of branches get white with the fuzz. A previous Ò crawlerÓ stage moves around to other trees or the same one by wind or on bird feet. Fortunately, there are pesticides that can be used for a valued tree which kills all the adelgids. Trees can be protected other ways too, but the hope for long term is that biocontrol insects now being released can build their populations up and be effective. These could keep the adelgids at a level where the trees can survive, as they do in Europe. Hemlocks die in a couple years once the adelgids start sucking.

But the other pest—the balsam wooly adelgid--is now decimating our firs with no one making a public fuss about it. I discovered it myself a few years ago when I noticed white waxy spots on balsams near Route 8. Scientists have tried a half dozen insects to control this adelgid, but none have worked out. Biocontrol insects or parasites have to be proven not to attack any of our native insects, for one thing.

One tree surgeon at the seminar said he has been removing a dozen balsams a year for a client as they die off. Balsams can sometimes live a long time with the adelgid, which causes swelling of twig tips and disfiguring of the top of the tree. Eventually the crawler stage gets washed or blown down onto the trunk where they are able to start sucking the sap because fir bark is very thin. The trunk can turn white with a heavy infestation. Ironically it is the treesÕ attempts to close off the insect which causes the blocking of the necessary sap transport that kills the tree.

Balsams are loved by people for Christmas trees for their beautiful shape and wonderful scent, and small balsams on tree farms can be sprayed with benign oils to protect them. But in the wild, of course, they are on their own. Balsam firs are just starving “stuffing” for deer, but other animals use them in other ways. But our well-loved returning native, the moose, actually eats and can digest balsam, and the loss of this tree will be a problem for them. There was hope that the cold of higher mountains would protect those trees, but Whitmore saw adelgids high up on Mount Washington recently, and there is no harsher climate anywhere in the east. I just walked on a proposed trail flagged by DEC along Rte. 28N, and it seemed that a majority of big balsams were dying or dead.

There will be a training for volunteers to look for and report adelgids on hemlocks on Sunday, July 31, at the ADK headquarters in Lake George.

People are also watching for the emerald ash borer, which has killed most of the ashes of all species in the midwest, and it is now in NY. Even scarier is the Asian long-horned beetle which likes most of the other hardwood species. I rejoiced yesterday when I caught my young woodchuck and took it for a long ride (not to your neighborhood!), but these alien insects brought here by accident without their natural controls are a likely disaster on a different scale. Eventually scientists may be able to breed resistant forms of our trees, as they are doing with chestnuts and elms, but in the meantime there will be forests of business for tree removal experts even without a tornado, one of which did incredible damage on River Road here last week.

Essex County approves North Country Community budget

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ North Country Community College received passing marks from Essex County on Monday, July 7 when lawmakers approved the institutionÕ s 2014-15 annual budget.

NCCC requested an additional $50,000 from Franklin and Essex counties, or $1,190,000 each alongside $50,000 for a capital improvement fund, for the budget, the first increase in five years.

While the total budget decreased 1.4 percent from last year to $14.3 million, tuition will jump five percent next semester, from $4,050 to $4,250.

‘No one wants to increase costs’

Finance Committee Chairman Tom Scozzafava asked NCCC President Dr. Steven Tyrell if the school was trying to bridge the funding gap by raising tuition. Ò WeÕ re staying competitive with our peers,Ó he said, stating the trend of declining enrollment across the state above Westchester County. Ò Fundamentally, no one wants to increase costs for the students,Ó he said. Ò We are very sensitive about that. If we werenÕ t, we could look at the current budget deficit and try to bridge that gap, but that would be absolutely untenable to our students.Ó Minerva Supervisor Stephen McNally asked if all applicants were accepted to the schoolÕ s nursing program. Ò ThereÕ s an overall shortage of nurses in Essex County,Ó he said. Ò ThereÕ s like a 20 percent acceptance rate from [Adirondack Community College and SUNY Adirondack] and I was just wondering if you get the enrollment up and get the people to come from Adirondack to get them to come to Essex County and try to expand our nursing program.Ó Ò ThereÕ s a huge wait list,Ó said Tyrell. Ò WeÕ re limited in clinical sites. We can’t fit any more through the door Ñ itÕ s an untenable situation.

tients on the floor. It really has a lot to do with regulations.Ó

Chargebacks

Essex County must cough up the cash for each resident that opts to attend community college outside of the county.

That number amounted to about $597,000 last year, Treasurer Michael Diskin told lawmakers last month.

Revenue assumptions show that NCCC anticipates collecting $363,000 this year from outof-state tuition, a 7.4 percent decrease from last year.

In an interview, Scozzafava said he would like to see the charge backs decline and called for more recruitment efforts within the countyÕ s school districts. Ò Community colleges should support the community,Ó he said.

Scozzafava said he would also support an in-

crease in funding for vocational training. Ò You have to be more vocationally-inclined,Ó he said. People will tell you they can’t find skilled, blue-collar workers Ñ plumbing and heating, electricians and mechanics. Those trades will be around to the end of the millennium.Ó NCCCÕ s budget includes an $125,000 increase in marketing and outreach efforts, nearly double over last year.

Continued from page 1

The future

Hults explains that the plan

for the future is for Newcomb students to be able to obtain a two year, associates degree in conjunction with their high school diploma, an effort

which the district notes will take up to a year to iron out the details. Ò We want to eventually offer an associate degree in integrative studies at Newcomb,Ó said Amy Tuthill, director of transfer services for Paul SmithÕ s. Ò That would require a branch campus at Newcomb, which is the ultimate goal.Ó If this goal is accomplished Newcomb would be the only public school in the state to offer a dual regents diploma and two-year-degree.

Hults also explained that there may be a time in the future when community members may also take advantage of classes in the building.

Public hearing to be held to discuss Johnsburg Ambulance District

By Joe Connelly

denpubs@denpubs.com JOHNSBURG Ñ At the Johnsburg Town Board Meeting on July 15, the members voted unanimously to hold a public hearing to discuss the formation of an ambulance district, similar in structure to the current Fire Protection Districts. The proposed district would encompass the Town of Johnsburg and would give their emergency medical squad the right to contract with the town an annual fee for services. Currently the emergency squad is provided $65,000 every year from the townÕ s general fund, or 15 percent of the squadÕ s operating budget.

JohnsburgÕ s former president, Kelly Nessle, made a presentation to the board, describing the Ambulance District Plan as the only way to safeguard the squadÕ s future. She demon-

It is about a princess named Hannah. One day she realizes or, she thinks anyway, that she needs to be perfect and have everything she wants in just a snap, and it will happen. So she is getting ready for bed, she sees a shooting star, and she whisks her wish. She goes to bed and she says whatever she wants and nothing happened, so the next night she saw another shooting star and she wished again and she woke up in the morning and nothing happened.

strated the many ways Johnsburg Emergency Squad has cut costs and increased its billing revenue, but she also showed the limits to growth in the years ahead. Patient billing accounts for three quarters of the Emergency SquadÕ s revenue, but for the past ten years the amount of patients has remained consistently under 500 per year. She also pointed out the many of these patients are insured by Medicaid and Medicare, which consistently pay less than the cost to the squad of transporting that patient.

Nessle pointed out that through careful management, fund raising and grant writing the squad has met its needs so far, including paying for a new van ambulance, and a mortgage on its building, but she also showed the problems that lie ahead.

In 2004 the squad began billing in order to pay advance life support technicians to be on

She also showed the difficulties in retaining volunteers, who still do an essential amount of work for the squad. She estimated that in the past ten years volunteers have contributed an amount of labor equivalent to two and a half million dollars.

Currently there are twelve volunteers active with the squad, and that number continues to shrink. Volunteers, she said, are still the ones that get up in the middle of the night to drive for a three hour call, and go to trainings, and review the billing and do the payroll and take care of the ambulances, and order the supplies.

Indian Lake: A day-long celebration of the nation’s birth

By Bill Quinlivan

keith@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE Ñ Saturday, July 5, was a big day in the Town of Indian Lake. It was Indian LakeÕ s turn to celebrate the nationÕ s birthday, and celebrate it did.

The day started off with a pancake breakfast in one of the local churches, followed by the Annual KidÕ s Fishing Derby on Lake Adirondack. The event was sponsored by the Indian Lake/Blue Mountain Fish and Game Association and attended by more than 200 children. Along with a great morning of fishing, there was a casting contest, free hot dogs, hamburgers and even ice cream. The latter donated by the local StewartÕ s Shops.

The day also saw the seasonal grand opening of the Indian Lake FarmersÕ Market. The offerings here ran an interesting and eclectic gamut. Right out front shoppers heard beautiful music provided by the Dulcimer Sistas and Brothers, an ensemble whose members hale from New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and North Carolina. Once in the market which took place in the parking lot adjacent to Pines Country Store, the offerings ran from tasty baked goods, fresh locally grown produce, rustic furniture, used books, fly fishing lures, perennials plants and annuals for the landscape. The market is hoped to expand in service to its economic development objectives for the town and will be held every Saturday morning through the summer season. If one was still hungry after visiting the farmersÕ market, one needed only head to the Annual Barbeque Chicken Dinner at the Indian Lake Volunteer Firehouse.

At 7 p.m. The Annual Indian Lake Independence Day Parade commenced, leaving from Pelon Road and continuing down Main Street to Byron Park. The parade was led by a Color Guard made up of the members of the local American Legion.

The parade spotlighted all of the townÕ s key organizations. The Indian Lake Volunteer Fire Department provided thrills for the kids along the route with a thunderous presence throughout the route. A banner on the lead vehicle reminded all in attendance that this is the 75th Anniversary of this most valuable organization.

The members of the Indian Lake Garden Club, so responsible for the beautiful floral displays throughout the town contributed to the fun and excitement of the parade with a banner, float and some very interesting costumes of some of our insect pollinators.

Pines Country Store also sponsored a float in the parade and reminded all that it has been 30 years that the Pines Family has been meeting a plethora of our needs from camp, to lake, to home in one very convenient place throughout every season.

Another important organization to our community, the Indian lake Ambulance Corps, took part in the parade with flashing lights and bright sounding sirens. The parade was further

fleshed out by a string of interesting antique autos and trucks, not to mention some very Ò well dressedÓ tractors. With these, onlookers were reminded of the strong interest and respect for the past and what this brings to our younger generations through their contribution to the beauty, fun and interest they exhibit in the parade.

As the parade came to a close, the crowd moved into Byron Park to await the 2014 Firework Display while enjoying snacks,

buying 50/50 raffle tickets in support of the 2014 Country Christmas Tour, Quilt Raffle tickets from North Country Crafters, and enjoying time with family and friends in the spots they staked out along the Main Street Frontage of Lake Adirondack.

As the sunset over the beautiful lake, the anticipation for what was to come increased. All sang the National Anthem and the pyrotechnics capped off a very enjoyable day in the Town of Indian Lake.

Once again Minerva goes to the dogs

By Mike Corey

mauranda@denpubs.com The Town park at Minerva lake was crowded with them: bowsers, pooches, mutts, hounds, canines. Dogs. There was woofing, barking, yipping, yapping, and an occasional snarl. The day was sunny and beautiful, and the dogs and their owners came to Minerva Lake on July 12, 2014 to participate in the Second Annual Fun Dog Show and Adirondack Iron Dog Run. The day began with a delicious breakfast provided by the Minerva Service Organization. Once fortified, the handlers of dogs of all sizes and breeds took off on a fine competitive Adirondack Iron Dog Ò runÓ that was more of a walk for some pooches. The trail that was laid out took these fierce competitors through mud, across streams, over and under obstacles, before returning to the starting point Ð all in good fun for sure. There were water stations for thirst quenching, and a final challenge on the lake shore where bowsers were encouraged to swim out after a tossed object for fetching. If the dogs wouldnÕ t go, their handlers were given the chance to jump in for fetching and retrieving.

Around noon, the Fun Dog Show commenced, with plenty of activities for all participants, whether of a canine or human persuasion. Available

were numerous vendors, including the Minerva Bicentennial Committee (doggie treats), Joy Healy with homemade cards, Liz Marshall with Calico Corner gifts, Diane Colletti of ItÕ s About Thyme Farm, the Minerva PTSO with plenty of popcorn, Brittney Bolduc with Ò Young Living OilsÓ , Linda Fountain Photography, and the Adirondack Pickle Ladies. Throughout the afternoon, the Minerva Volunteer Fire & Rescue Squad offered up wonderful hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salads, and cold beverages.

Thanks go to Brian Warrington for his assistance, Sharon Aleksejczyk, Tom & Devon Murphy, Sue and Abby Clckner, Chet Palmer, Mike Leddick (always terrific as emcee), Julie Mihalcit and her Ò agility clubÓ demonstrations, a doggie fashion show, Essex County Sheriff’s Office “Safe Child” table, and Warren County Officer Jeremy Coon with his K-9 drug-sniffing and bad guy apprehension demonstrations. Kim Monthony was there during a return visit with her amazing dog Jack.

Also on tap: a fine obstacle course challenge for all interested doggies.

Patty Warrington of the Minerva Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad was the guiding force behind the day; she along with a group of helpers planned and organized the events.

Jake Hitchcock contributed greatly with his rock hounds, which were auctioned on behalf of the Fire Department.

denpubs@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK Ñ Over the course of this spring, the generosity of the North Creek Rotary Club has touched the lives of many of the areaÕ s students.

Recently, the Club received a letter from Mark Brand, Superintendent of the Indian Lake Central School. In the letter, Mr. Brand communicates the his personal thanks and that of the ILCS Board of Education, faculty, staff and students for the sponsorship the North Creek Rotary provided for participation of two ILCS students, Victoria Moore and Cheyenne Wilder, in the Rotary Youth Leadership program at

Skidmore College.

Brand writes, Ó The important leadership skills [these students] acquired from this experience will benefit them immediately and in their future endeavors É Thanks again for your support and interest in promoting leadership skills for our studentsÓ .

The dedication to students by the North Creek Rotary was further exemplified during the recent graduation ceremonies in Indian Lake, Minerva and Johnsburg. During each of these ceremonies, one student was named the recipient of a $500 scholarship.

In Indian Lake, the recipient was Valedictorian Shannon Farrell, who is going to apply her scholarship toward the costs of her postsecondary education at Russell Sage College

where she will be pursuing studies in Nursing.

Minerva Central School recipient, Dakota Bennett, will apply her North Creek Rotary Scholarship toward the cost of her studies at SUNY Cortland this coming fall. DakotaÕ s goal is to become an athletic trainer.

Last, but not least, Johnsburg Central School recipient Shiloh Wood will be applying her scholarship toward her post-secondary education at Cazenovia College, where she will be majoring in Psychology. Her aspiration is to become a child psychologist because in her words, Ò I love working with children and have always been interested in how the mind functions.Ó North Creek Rotary President, Wayne Thomas reminds us that, Ò the main objective of Rotary is service in the community, in the workplace

NORTH RIVER Ñ Vista Court Books announces publication of Ò Good Morning Loon,Ó a new childrenÕ s picture book about the wildlife a boy discovers while he paddles in the morning mist, hoping to see a loon.

Subtitled, Ò ItÕ s Early MorningÑ WhatÕ s Happening on the Lake?,Ó this story was inspired by author Elizabeth VarnaiÕ s own experiences while canoeing in the Adirondacks. It was illustrated by watercolor artist Kate Hartley, also the lead artist on the North Creek mosaic mural project, and prepared for press by Sheri Amsel Ñ an all-Adirondack team.

Elizabeth Varnai consulted with naturalists at The Wild Center (Natural History Museum of the Adirondacks) and the New York State DEC to accurately depict the wildlife in the story, which is followed by a Tell Me More section with details about each creature the boy, paddling with his mother, discovers.

In pre-publication reviews, Avery Cleary of the Children &

and in the world. As part of this objective, we make it a point to support programs for youth and educational opportunities. We here in the North Creek Rotary find this a very important investment in the local community. After all, it is difficult for any one of us to change the world all by ourselves, but we can affect positive change in our respective communities and the additive effect will make the world a better place. We are extremely happy and proud to continue and grow our contributions to education and leadership in our community at large.Ó The North Creek Rotary meets weekly every Thursday morning at MarshaÕ s Restaurant in North Creek at 7:30 a.m. Anyone interested in getting involved as a member of North Creek Rotary is invited to attend a meeting as a guest.

Nature Network calls Ò Good Morning LoonÓ Ò a truly lovely story of connecting with the natural world. The gorgeous illustrations and playful discoveries are a delight.Ó Janet Ady, Senior Environmental Educator with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service notes, Ò Ô Good Morning LoonÕ is an elegant story, accurately highlighting wildlife species of the Northeast with compelling illustrations and a simple, memorable storyline. Reading it will likely motivate parents and children to go outside to watch and learn about nature together, and create their own lasting memories.Ó Kittie Wilson, a recipient of the prestigious United States EPA Environmental Merit Award for Lifetime Achievement and affiliated with the Loon Preservation Committee in New Hampshire, terms Ò Good Morning LoonÓ Ô a delight É beautifully illustrated É You can feel the young boyÕ s curiosity, anticipation and excitement É Õ Ò Good Morning LoonÓ is now available at the Adirondack Museum, The Wild Center, and local bookstores and gift shops, including Poiema and Hudson River Trading Company in North Creek. Elizabeth Varnai will be available to sign copies of her book on Saturday, August 2 at the Rhythm and Rhymes authors and artists event at Hudson River Trading Company from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Mary Lou Reid on the guitar and fluteÕ s passion for music stems from the gatherings at her Italian grandparentsÕ home.

Song was an integral part of the Sunday and holiday gettogethers. Her memories of guitars, mandolins and beautiful voices continued at her own home where she and her father, who taught her to play guitar, sang country and folk tunes around the kitchen table. She has now inherited these very instruments that were played all those Sundays ago, and treasures them dearly.

A reception to meet the artists will follow the concert. This concert is part of a series presented by the Long Lake Friends of Music and is partially funded by public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Regrant Program. In Hamilton County, the Decentralization Program is administered by the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts, located in Blue Mountain Lake. Donations are appreciated to further fund the concert series. For more information call 624-2056.
