MCS board vote held Thursday

This Week COUNTY

Class hosted candidate forum

By Maggie Morgan maggie@denpubs.com

MINERVA Ñ The schoolÕ s cafeteria had determination in the air on Tuesday evening as students, community members and Board of Education candidates gathered for a public forum.

On Dec. 2 at 7 p.m., students from Chris FinkÕ s Participation in Government class sat at a table in the front of the room next to two of the three candidates petitioning for the one spot on the board. Students Jessica Hill and Sydney Baker led the discussion as they read community submitted questions and timed the candidates responses.

The special election to choose a new member of the school board between the three candidates will take place from 1 to 8 p.m. Dec. 11 at the school.

Candidate Karen TenEyck was unable to make it to the forum due to a prior commitment, but Hayley Killon and Ron Sanalitro sat side by side ready to answer any and all questions the public may have for them.

Though the candidates were in agreement on many of the topics discussed, some questions allowed the public to see how different the two potentional board members were and what they could offer the school district.

Sanalitro has been a member of Minerva for years and prior to moving to the area had 35 years of teaching experience under his belt. The candidate served as a teaching president of student development, working very closely with the administration and the last school he worked in had 1,200 students and 100 teachers.

CALENDAR

New leader for highway supts. association

NORTH CREEK Ñ The holidays bring with them many traditions to look forward to including picking out and decorating the tree, gathering around the living room watching Christmas movies, and exchanging gifts with friends and loved ones.

The Saratoga North Creek Railway has created one more thing for us to look forward to every year - The Polar Express Train Ride.

Modeled after the popular childrenÕ s story, The Polar Express Train Ride invites families to hop on the

locomotive wearing their pajamas to enjoy the magic of Christmas. The train, equipped with dancing chefs, Christmas tunes, hot cocoa, along with Santa and his elves, is the epitome of the holiday spirit.

Reading along with Chris Van AllsburgÕ s famous story, children and adults alike will live inside the Christmas tale and feel the magic that is inside SantaÕ s silver sleigh bell.

This year, the train rides began Nov. 14, and will run through Dec. 28, on specific dates. Marketing Director Sarah Munley said there were some changes during this edition of the Polar Express.

She said an Economy Class has been added to the

train where passengers will find themselves paying significantly less for their trip; adult tickets will range from $40 to $70 while childrenÕ s tickets will remain around $25, depending on date and availability.

In addition to the new seating, SNCRR has decided to offer military discounts throughout the season.

Whether active, retired, or reserve, anyone showing a valid military ID will be eligible to save 10 percent off tickets in Economy or Standard Class. Ò The question has been posed many times through Facebook and other customer feedback,Ó said Munley.

Highway officials from across Essex County gathered at the AuSable Inn in Keene Valley on Wednesday, Oct. 27 to honor Dick Boulerice (second from left), the outgoing president of the North Country chapter of the New York State Association of Town Superintendents of Highways. Mark Yandon, of Newcomb, will take his place. “I really enjoyed it,” said Boulerice. “I’m sure Mark’s going to do a great job.”

Sanalitro believes his experience makes him a viable option for the position and he feels deeply connected to the community as well. Ò I got tired of sitting back and not using my experience to settle things down and substantiate what is going on,Ó said Sanalitro. Ò My experiences speak for themselves.Ó Killon has also been a resident of Olmstedville for a large portion of her life and is extremely dedicated to the area. Though she has no educational background or prior experience in the field, her connection to the school and love for her community is why she thinks she would be a valuable member to the board. KillonÕ s children and grandchildren have both attended and still attend Minerva Central School; her desire to see the district succeed comes from a very personal place. Ò I love this community and I will never move,” said Killon. “I am a firm believer in learning as you go, I want to try, give me a chance and IÕ ll go.Ó Many of SanalitroÕ s and KillonÕ s opinions overlapped, but there were a few areas in which they differed. When asked how many board meetings the candidates have attended in the last year, Sanalitro said two while Killon has been to ten.

Both candidates seem to have an excellent handle on what their role would involve. Killon stated that, Ò WhatÕ s good for everybody, listening to all,Ó is what she would strive for while Sanalitro added, Ò the school is the center of the community, they are one,Ó and he wants to continue that interaction between them.

Killon said she was most proud of the schoolÕ s morale and the sense of family that runs through its core and Sanalitro likes the creative way that education is conducted.

When asked what is the biggest problem the school currently faces, both Sanalitro and Killon agreed - the budget. Both candidates seemed passionate about the subject and have voted all three times on the matter. Ò We will have to work together to come up with an answer, the kids are the most important, the solution is us,Ó said Killon. Ò What more is there to cut? These teachers are doing

two to three jobs, not just their own.Ó Sanalitro added that the budget must be equitable, and maintain a process where students can gain the best education possible. Ò We need to reevaluate the use of facilities and staff to make sure the education is the best we can do,Ó he said.

In regards to the tax cap, Killon said she was willing to, Ò do a little more, and give a little up.Ó Sanalitro commented that the cap was unrealistic and unfair to people with such a limited income, but the community must do their best to work with what the state has allowed.

Perhaps the things the two candidates had the most differing opinions on were in regards to hiring a consultant to come to the school and consolidating MCS with other districts. Killon was against both ideas while Sanalitro said his past experiences have proved that hiring a consultant and consildation could benefit the school district. Ò We donÕ t know all the answers, we donÕ t have all the information,Ó said Sanalitro. Ò They can show us what direction to go in to do the best with what we have.Ó Ò If thatÕ s what the people want, absolutely,Ó said Killon. Ò I know dollar signs and thatÕ s a lot of money we could keep right here. We only have 120 students.Ó On the topic of consolidation, Killon said Minerva has tried in the past with three different schools and no one was interested, so who would they consolidate with? She stated that it works for other areas but she doesnÕ t like the idea herself and thinks that Minerva is, Ò a wonderful school and should stay here.Ó Sanalitro said that consolidation might be one of the first things a consultant would suggest, and in the case of his past experience with the process, the school he worked for became a, Ò viable district that was large geographically and worked financially.”

In closing, both candidates reiterated their prior statements, addressing the audience in just a matter of minutes but truly allowing them to take a look at their intentions and personalities. Ò It would be an honor to serve you and learn as I go, I believe in this school,Ó said Killon.

Sanalitro said, Ò I would like to take my past experiences and bring them to the board to stabalize the school and community.Ó

Publisher’s Column

n these waning weeks of 2014, the U.S. news media has been consumed by its 24/7 coverage of racial strife, including Missouri riots and New York protests over alleged police brutality and the deaths of two black citizens. And just as the gloom of our nationÕ s failed foreign policy, its immigration and health care debacles, come home to roost and promise to turn 2014 into one of the worst years sinceÑ wellÑ 1968, a government agency, of all things, comes to our rescue and pulls America’s wounded pride from the fire yet again.

As you may recall, NASAÕ s space efforts not only saved 1968, but it seems to have also come to the rescue of this lamentable year 2014.

The U.S. space agencyÑ one of the few shining jewels in remaining in our national crownÑ demonstrated, with the amazing test flight of the new Orion spacecraft Dec. 5, that all our ugly tribal infighting can be overcome when we rise above this petty planet and look up to the stars. And NASA managed to work it magic even with one hand tied behind its budgetary back.

All those ethnically diverse and smiling faces at NASA had their eyes on a prize much bigger than the earthly politics of division.

NASAÕ s young facesÑ which showed black, white, brown and yellow on the space agencyÕ s TV network’s coverage of the Orion test flight mission—give me hope and a reason to believe that this nation is still great, and possibly the greatest, in spite of its leaders.

In the case of NASAÕ s new Orion spacecraftÑ which will someday take Americans to asteroids, the Moon and MarsÑ technical skills and the spirit of exploration, applied to a national goal, have an amazing way of uniting people.

Back in December 1968, after a year of heartbreaking Vietnam War casualties, increasing antiwar violence in the streets at home, and the tragic assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, it looked as though AmericaÕ s best days were receding quickly in the rearview mirror.

The dark year of 1968 had reached its final month, when, along came NASA and the Apollo 8 mission.

Three astronauts not only orbited the Moon in December of that year, they also returned safely to Earth to cheers and parades. The feat of Apollo 8—the first piloted craft to orbit our cratered neighbor in spaceÑ galvanized the attention of the world.

When the Apollo astronauts returned home, they were greeted with cheers and tons of fan mailÑ all in the days before e-mail and social media.

Among the many fan messages was a congratulatory telegram sent to Apollo 8 astronaut Jim Lovell. The simple telegram was sent by a housewife named Valerie Pringle. Ô Õ You saved 1968,Õ Õ she wrote.

PringleÕ s famous telegram spoke volumes about how a single event can inspire pride and hope in a national landscape strewn with bad news.

Sure, we’ll admit that 2014 isn’t quite as bad as 1968. Sure, NASA’s Dec. 5, 2014 test flight of the unmanned Orion spacecraft wasnÕ t as dramatic as Apollo 8, but it came close, even without a crew.

If you consider the political nonsense thrown in NASAÕ s path since the 1990sÑ everything from navel-gazing Earth-focused eco missions (violations of NASAÕ s founding space-focused mission statement) and buying Russian rocket engines (at the expense of U.S. made components) to American astronauts hitching rides aboard Soyuz capsules and the White HouseÕ s slick Ò all talk-and-noactionÓ space legerdemainÑ last weekÕ s mission should have been an utter failure. Instead, it was a brilliant success.

At the moment of the Orion Test FlightÕ s launch, at 7:05 a.m. Dec. 5, the entire NASA-TV website crashed.

NASA reported that millions of viewers tuned in to view real news in the makingÑ not a mindless rehashing (with hand wringing) of the weekÕ s civil unrest and celebrity fondlings.

Not surprisingly, not a single TV network bothered to broadcast the Orion test. No matter, the crash of the NASA-TV showed thatÑ despite what politicians and social critics tell usÑ millions of Americans remain very interestedÑ and engagedÑ in the exploration of space.

Ok, itÕ s time to reboot Valerie PringleÕ s December 1968 telegram. Thank you, NASA. You just saved 2014, too. Ñ D enton Publications Editorial Board

Bill of Rights response To the News Enterprise: Mr. Phillips, In regards to your recent letter to the Journal I feel obligated to defend the veteranÕ s organizations resident in this area.

First, Dec. 15, is not a Ò federal holidayÓ , it is President Franklin D.

Weather Watch

By Paul Little

N

ovember 2014 ended our pleasant Fall weather and gave us a strong reminder of the coming Winter, as below normal temperatures and above normal snowfall produced a Winter like scene for those Thanksgiving gatherings. However, it was a minor inconvenience for us compared to those folks around Buffalo, New York. They had more snow than we have in a full season.

The average high temperature was 40.6 degrees and the average low was 25.5 degrees giving us an average of 33.1 degrees, 1.9 degrees below normal and the 4th coldest on record. The coldest November was in 1996 when the average was 31.1 degrees and the warmest was in 1999 when the average temperature was 40.2 degrees. The highest temperature, 60 degrees, was recorded on the 24th and the coldest, 11 degrees, was recorded on the 29th.

There were 934 degree days bringing our seasonal total to 1763.5.

Melted precipitation for the month was 2.55 inches, 1.04 inches below normal and the 5th driest on record. The driest November was in 2012 when only 0.67 inches was measured. The wettest November was in 1983 when 7.16 inches was measured. Precipitation fell on 13 days, with the greatest amount, 0.81 inches, measured on the 26th. Our seasonal total is now 39.38 inches, 0.41 inches above normal. Even though our seasonal total is slightly above normal, local streams and the Hudson River were very low due to below normal rainfall in September and October.

Snowfall was the big story as a Thanksgiving eve snowfall disrupted travel plans and had highway workers out late at night clearing roads when they would have liked to be with their families. Snowfall for the month was 16.4 inches, 9.9 inches above normal and the 3rd most on record. The most snow was measured in 1997 when 21.1 inches fell and the least was in 1981 when there was none. The largest snow storm arrive on the 26th and left 14.5 inches on the ground making it a very white Thanksgiving. This was the 2nd largest amount in the area, second only to Warrensburg which had 14.6 inches. What made this snowstorm difficult to swallow was that only 2 to 4 inches were predicted. How could that happen you say? Sometimes a shift of only a few miles East or West when a NorÕ easter comes up the East coast can make the difference between no snow and 14 inches. Gore Mountain is very happy with the weather so far, as the cold temperatures and abundant snowfall have made the opening part of the season very good.

The Hudson River reached its highest level, 4.76 feet, on the 27th and its lowest level, 2.96 feet, on the 23rd. This was the lowest level that this observer has seen on the river this late in the season.

eveltÓ \o Ò Franklin D. RooseveltÓ ) Second, as I recall, the Bill of Rights applies to all citizens and is not restricted to veterans.

Third, feel free to contact either me or the Commander of the local American Legion and we will educate you on what we do, have done, and intend to do, for both our veterans and the community. Last, as a local and concerned citizen, it would have been nice of you to have contacted North Warren School and inquired as to what they do to recognize this day. Anytime we have contacted them regarding Ò patrioticÓ activities, they have been more than responsive. Out of curiosity, I have reviewed our minutes of the last year and have found no request of the nature you describe and I also do not recognize your name as being either a member or a supporter of the VFW. I would have preferred to call you on this matter but unfortunately, I cannot find you listed in the telephone book.

Response to letter

To the News Enterprise: Concerning the letter presuming to bring “flawed assumptions of the factsÓ to light from a previous Op-Ed piece, I would simply point out that the author states only conclusions in opposition without pointing out any facts at all, much less flawed ones in the op-Ed piece. Well, he does point out the fact that the Democrats got thumped but that doesnÕ t clarify anything, does it? In these times of rubber stamp assertions rather than meaningful debate I guess it annoys me to have someone state HE is

Country Christmas Tour gives thanks To the News Enterprise: The Country Christmas Tour in Indian Lake was held Nov. 28, and Nov. 29, and without all the support our steering committee received from the town and our many volunteers, we wouldnÕ t have been able to deliver such a wonderful experience. IÕ d like to thank all those who attended this yearÕ s event and battled the weather.

Our steering committee plans this event seven months in advance and the process involves many groups and volunteers, ranging from town, school and county personnel to organizations such as St. MaryÕ s (for hosting our ChildrenÕ s Workshop) Adirondack Museum (for many activities), to businesses such as The Hedges (for opening their doors with a tour) and PineÕ s Country Store, as well as individuals; Nelson Gauvin, Leddy Johnson, Mary Ellen Dowling, Kelly King, Ben Nolette, our cookie bakers, George and Diane McCane, Bob Willemsen (for his wonderful model train display) and many others who help us behind the scenes bring this event alive. As you can see, our list of volunteers is numerous, so please excuse me if I omitted your name. Without all of you, there wouldnÕ t be a Country Christmas Tour.

Viewpoint S.A.V.E. praises government prevention

As close partners and co-investors in the CommissionÕ s Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Program, The S.A.V.E. Lake George Partnership calls on Governor Cuomo and the Commission to continue their outstanding leadership and commitment to the health of Lake George. S.A.V.E.Õ s public and private members. Including elected officials, conservation groups, and researchers, are unanimous in commending the Lake George Park Commission and its dedicated staff, led by Dave Wick, whose tireless work has been the lynch pin to successful implementation of the prevention program. Moreover, the CommissionÕ s leadership has been instrumental to the extraordinarily diverse public support for the program and the broad media coverage and editorial support spanning the state and nation.

In fact, the StateÕ s Invasives Prevention Program at Lake George stands as a model of the unprecedented collaboration and leadership required to stop the spreading menace of invasives and save our waterbodies from irreversible devastation while the opportunity still exists. S.A.V.E. has been particularly

grateful for the leadership and support that has extended all the way to the Governor’s office. At this pivotal time for Lake George, continuity of the established leadership demonstrated

by David Wick is paramount to enduring success.

Momentum only grows throughout the Adirondacks and around New York State for effective invasives prevention programming. The economic and ecological stakes could not be higher with no second chance of success. At Lake George, the State has seized the mantel of leadership and demonstrated the decisive resolve that makes our Lake a shining beacon of hope for all those realizing the gravity of the threat we face. Now is the time to uphold and redouble this commitment and ensure New York State serves as a national leader by protecting the Queen of American Lakes and all of our vulnerable natural waters.

We urge the Commission to do their utmost in insuring that our outstanding success continues in 2015 under the leadership of David Wick.

Mayor Robert Blais, Lake George Village Chairman of The S.A.V.E. Lake George Partnership

County passes best value procurement law

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ The Essex County Board of Supervisors passed a best value procurement law Dec. 1, a revision to state finance law that allows the county to look at additional factors rather than the one-size-fits-all aspect of price when selecting how to award contracts.

Ticonderoga Supervisor Bill Grinnell, who opposed the final vote with SchroonÕ s Mike Marnell, called the measure a Ò very slippery slopeÓ and said he wanted nothing to do with the process.

Grinnell said it leaves loopholes that unscrupulous future officials may use to their benefit.

He also said it may rob county officials of autonomy because the law allows municipalities to Ò piggybackÓ off one another when selecting vendors.

But County Manager Dan Palmer said thatÕ s precisely what will make the process more efficient for the county. Ò The [request for proposal] process is time-consuming in itself,Ó he said. Ò The best part is piggybacking from other municipalities who are doing that work already.Ó Grinnell said this may lead to dependence on the flawed decision-making of others. Ò I think we would be much better served to rely on our own expertise,Ó he said.

Best value procurement, which cannot be used for public works projects or purchasing a car, also takes into account factors like environmental sustainability, local vendors and additional invisible costs.

‘SELDOM USED’ Johnsburg Central School singer Montana Berg has been selected to perform by the National Association for Music Teachers (NAfME, formerly MENC) to sing in the All-Eastern Honors Chorus in Providence, Rhode Island from April 9-12. This chorus is comprised of top singers from the State Music Education Associations from Connecticut, Delaware, Washington, D.C., Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Europe.

Each state organization oversees the selection process in their state during the spring solo competitions and compile lists ranking musicians within their state. The NAfME All Eastern committee then builds an honors ensemble from the top scores within the state rankings. Ensembles that will be performing are the Mixed Chorus, Treble Chorus, Orchestra, Concert Band and Jazz Band. Selection for these ensembles is extremely rigorous and the resulting music groups are the best of the best. It is an honor for Johnsburg Central School to be represented at this level. For program and ticket information please visit nafmeeastern.org. Montana is the student of Mary Leach.

doing otherwise, and then not do it.

Finance Chair Tom Scozzafava agreed there are some gray areas that need to be hammered out. Ò ItÕ s a tool if we need it,Ó he said. Ò But it will be seldom used.Ó

Scozzafava said the current RFP process, going with the low bidder paired with numerous amendments that are brought before the board, also has its flaws.

This past year, that process has sparked flare-ups within the body in discussions on siding replacement and roof repairs at government complexes and the sprawling radio system project that has been plagued by unexpected and rising costs.

The Moriah supervisor cited an anecdote from John Glenn: Ò As I hurtled through space, one thought kept crossing my mind Ñ every part of this rocket was supplied by the lowest bidder.Ó Ò But when John got back, he thought they did one hell of a job,Ó Grinnell responded.

‘ANOTHER TOOL’

Palmer referred to best value procurement as a refinement of the RFP process. Ò There are certain things we do low bid, like purchase vehicles, that will remain low bid,Ó he said. Ò This is another tool.Ó Like with RFPs, procurement with best value is based on a point system.

Critics say itÕ s more of an art than a science and that suppliers may identify and exploit weakness in bid weighting such that their company could win contracts at an inflated price.

Officials will not be given carte blanche, Palmer explained.

Like with any other resolutions, the process also requires department heads to come back to the board for approval.

County Attorney Dan Manning said he understood GrinnellÕ s concerns about the possibility for manipulation. Ò But this is good for the county because it gives us one more mechanism to evaluate goods and services,Ó he said.

Grinnell, citing confusion regarding the exact criteria for how the process will be applied, remained unswayed: Ò I donÕ t believe this is the proper way for purchasing to take place with taxpayer dollars.Ó

Johnsburg opens season, unable to hold lead against Bughers

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ A late-game offensive onslaught by All-Star Warrensburg guard Shea Irish resulted in a dramatic 56-50 comeback victory Nov. 24 against tall and talented Johnsburg High.

Shea scored 24 points in the last quarter of the BurgherÕ s season opener to overcome JohnsburgÕ s well-orchestrated, athletic play.

The Burghers began the game with missed passes, turnovers and botched plays, allowing Johnsburg to amass a 13-4 first-quarter lead.

Down 28-20 at halftime, Warrensburg head coach Bob Hummel, who has years of experience mentoring college basketball teams, made some adjustments in strategy and rallied his players.

“Johnsburg embarrassed us on our own floor, sticking it to us in the first quarter,” he said. “But

we stepped up and matched their intensity and hustle.Ó Irish, a Senior, amassed a game-high 39 points during the non-league game, including four threepointers. Sophomore Joe Turner scored two treys and 10 points, and Junior Jake Nemec, quarterback of the schoolÕ s football team, scored six points and hit one three-pointer.

Ty Berg scored 24 points for Johnsburg and Clayton Smith contributed 11. Mark Cleveland added 7, while Evan Slater and Brandon Johnson each scored 3 points and Jason Morehouse 2.

Minerva Christmas season begins with annual bazaar

By Mike Corey

denpubs@denpubs.com MINERVA Ñ What do you get when you combine a large yet friendly space often used as a gymnasium, terrific food, an amazing assortment of crafts and a diversity of hardto-beat items for sale, Santa Claus, and a whole lot people?

It becomes the 49th Annual Minerva Christmas Bazaar.

The late afternoon and evening of Friday, Dec. 5, was a great time to be in Minerva.

The theme Ò Joy to the WorldÓ was present big-time at Minerva Central School.

Hosted by MinervaÕ s Sleeping Giants Seniors, this event had something for everyone, and it is doubtful that anyone who visited walked out without winning a door prize or finding some item for Christmas.

To give you an idea, one could walk through the doors to the big friendly room and spot large numbers of cookies for sale, amazing home-made jewelry, wreaths, crocheted hats, fabulous paintings, locally produced maple syrup, tree ornaments, an active spinning wheel and festive home furnishing crafts, just to name a few things.

Everyone wandered from table to table, and a large number of folks clutched bags of popcorn and cups of hot chocolate. It was topped off by a visit from Santa Claus during a snow squall, fresh off one of the Minerva Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad trucks.

Music was certainly a big part of the event, including Christmas favorites played by Sabrina LaPointeÕ s fabulous seventh grade guitar class.

Soups, chili, and hot dogs along with an assortment of beverages were available, with all proceeds going to assist those in need within the Minerva community, an effort organized by Lynn Green.

A tree donated by Ellen

Brannon was decorated with plenty of lights for a beautiful tree-lighting event, accomplished by 2014 Minerva

Citizens of the Year Greg and Karen Wright.

A great number of local artisans brought their wares

to sell at the Bazaar, and an equally large number of local organizations were represented at various tables.

DEC Announces Stewardship Plan to guide interim management of the Essex Chain Lakes INDIAN LAKE Ñ The state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) released a Stewardship Plan Dec. 8 to guide interim management for public access and use of newly acquired lands in the Essex Chain Lakes Management Complex in the Central Adirondacks, DEC Commissioner Joe Martens announced.

The Stewardship Plan outlines a full range of recreational activities that may occur in the Essex Chain while DEC develops a long-term Unit Management Plan (UMP) for the Complex area. Ò The Essex Chain Lakes features exceptional natural resources and this Stewardship Plan will allow people of all ages and abilities to enjoy these lands,Ó Commissioner Martens said. Ò The Stewardship Plan will provide for interim access to these beautiful lands and waters for camping and other recreation activities, while protecting the natural resources until a final unit management plan is in place.Ó DEC worked with various partners, including the towns of Newcomb and Indian Lake, the Adirondack Ecological Center, which is part of SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF), and the Student Conservation Association to establish public access under the Stewardship Plan.

Newcomb Supervisor George Canon said, Ò Our thanks go out to Governor Cuomo, DEC Commissioner Martens and our many partners for actively engaging with local government leaders to create a stewardship plan for this important property that is already providing the public with a great outdoor destination in the Town of Newcomb.Ó Indian Lake Supervisor Brian Wells said, Ò The Town of Indian Lake appreciates DEC listening and addressing to our wants and concerns when developing the stewardship plan. The Town of Indian Lake has benefited greatly this past fall as a result of DEC quickly implementing a user friendly plan. We look forward to proceeding with developing UMP through the working relationship we have with DEC Commissioner Joe Martens and his staff.Ó William Farber, chairman of the Hamilton County Board of Supervisors, said, Ò We thank Governor Cuomo, the DEC and the many partners who have worked hard to open up the Essex Chain to public use. I am optimistic that this stewardship pan will help generate expanded public use of this wonderful place and sustain its natural resources for the future.Ó The Stewardship Plan is now in effect. People can view the plan on DECÕ s website. Under the

plan, additional access to the Essex Chain Lakes includes: • Public motor vehicle access into the Essex Chain Lakes and surrounding waterbodies via the Cornell Road to the Deer Pond Road; • Motorized access to the Hudson River via the Chain Lakes Road (North) to Drakes Mill Road, off of the Goodnow Flow Road; • Motor vehicle access and camping during big game season for sporting activities such as hunting, fishing and trapping and other recreation along Camp Six Road and Chain Lakes Road (South); • Motorized access for people with disabilities to the Essex Chain Lakes at the Ò tubeÓ between Fourth and Fifth Lakes, including parking and waterway access. Accessible camping will be available along Deer Pond Road; • Camping opportunities for people with disabilities along the Cornell Road, Deer Pond Road, Camp Six Road and Chain Lakes Road South; and • Marking of trails (old roads) open for horses and a cross-country ski Ò lollipopÓ trail near the Goodnow Flow outlet.

Access opportunities to the Essex Chain Lakes complex announced earlier this year include: • 13 primitive tent sites (11 waterfront) on and around the Essex Chain Lakes and related waterbodies. Access to these sites will require a permit administered in partnership with the Adirondack Interpretive Center in Newcomb. In addition, primitive tent sites are established throughout the remaining area of the Complex Area including: four primitive tent sites along Camp Six Road, four primitive tent sites along Chain Lakes Road (South), four primitive tent sites along the Cornell Road within the Blue Mountain Wild Forest, two primitive tent sites along the Deer Pond Road and one primitive tent site on Pine Lake in a current location; • A 6-car parking area within a pre-existing parking area at Outer Gooley; • A 25-car parking area in the vicinity of Deer Pond, with one side of the lot for day use (10 cars) and the other side for overnight use (15 cars); • Relocation of parking for 6 cars closer to the Polaris Bridge on the DrakeÕ s Mill Road at a point approximately .3 miles west of the Hudson River; • Canoe carries will be formally designated between Second Lake and First, between First and Grassy Pond, and around Long Falls and Ord Falls along the Upper Hudson River; and • Horse trailer parking/turnaround/staging area with room for five horse trailers.

‘Mammy and Pop’ reopen Rte. 28N staple

By Mike Corey

denpubs@denpubs.com MINERVA Ñ ItÕ s been close to a year, but the former MurdieÕ s General Store on State Route 28N in downtown Minerva is now open for business, and itÕ s a very good thing.

The store is now owned by Jack and Dawn Green of Olmstedville, and it has reopened as Mammy & PopÕ s General Store.

The GreensÕ store had what they called a Ò soft openingÓ Saturday, Nov. 22. There was free coffee, homemade cookies, and plenty of opportunity to check out the store and talk with folks when they stopped in. A grand opening has not been scheduled yet - the GreenÕ s are waiting for a few more items with which to stock the store, and the big opening will occur when they get in all that they are waiting for.

Of course, the first question for the Greens’ has to be about the stores name. Ò To our grandchildren, IÕ m Mammy and Jack is pop,Ó according to Dawn. The two now live in the apartment above the store, which will make it very handy for them in regard to opening and closing. Store hours are very similar to what Lee and Gloria Murdie established when they had their store: open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., Sundays from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The new store sells gas, will fuel up propane tanks, sells ice, and has a wide variety of groceries, small hardware items, fishing gear and toys. Mammy & PopÕ s also sells deli and sub sandwiches at the back of the store. Local busi-

nesses and their products are also represented at the store, including Adirondack Ink, The Pickle Lady, BettyÕ s Funny Farm and Maple Knoll Farm.

After purchasing the building and property from the MurdiesÕ this past September, Jack and Dawn Green have been working hard to establish their new business. Ò ItÕ s convenient, refreshing, and nice to see the store open for business again Ð itÕ s a great mom and pop store,Ó said Sharon Aleksejczyk, a Minerva resident. Ò The town needs to grow,Ó Larry Lanphear said. Ò Opening up the store again will be good for Minerva. DawnÕ s been talking about opening up a grocery store for years, and this was a great opportunity.Ó Ò The MurdiesÕ were very happy to sell the store to local folks who wanted it to remain a grocery store Ð we were there and ready, and weÕ ll try to keep things pretty similar. We are happy to be here,Ó Jack Green said. Ò This will be good for Minerva,Ó Dawn Green said. Ò It was very sad to see the old store closed. This has been a dream of mine Ð to own a small store. WeÕ ve been working on it steadily and itÕ s been a labor of love for usÓ .

Dawn recently retired from the Grand Union (Tops) in North Creek and now has the time to devote to running the store. Jack continues to work for the Town of Minerva Highway Department. Both are looking forward to the challenge.

There is now a Mammy and Pops Facebook page.

Polar Express

Continued from page 1 Ò We felt that with the added capacity this year, it was a sound decision that would help make the Polar Express Train Ride a possibility for the military and their families.Ó Every year, the Polar Express Train Ride grows in popularity, and this year ticket sales have gone through the roof. Seats go fast, so SNCRR recommends booking your North Pole excursion as soon as possible. With over 17,000 tickets already sold for the holiday season, the Polar Express has become a hot commodity for the cold winter months.

“The ridership is definitely trending upward,” said Munley. “We are already very close to exceeding 2013Õ s total sales. Ò We like to think this train ride is superior because it is personal and the whole family is engaged for the entire hour. It makes for priceless photo opportunities and really fun memories. The story book and movie do hold a special place in some peopleÕ s hearts, but even if you or your child are not familiar it is an exciting and lively event that we see several generations of one family enjoying year after year.

Call 877-726-7245 or visit SNCRR.com to book your trip to the North Pole.

Fat Guys in the Woods!

I

Gardens of Eden

I

went out to Western NY for my annual deer hunting trip this year, only to have the weather reduce the trip to hours of travel time. Opening day was snow and I mean the start of the storm in Buffalo. The deer were hunkered down and non-cooperative for the first two days into the season, and then the big snow came.

I made the decision to leave the camp early due to the forecast of five feet of snow or more.

I traveled up to my brotherÕ s home and he said the forecast was for the wind pattern to slowly move south, blanketing his town with an expected three or four feet.

Hoping to see my family before I left was now out of the question. The snow was already too deep and the roads closed except for emergency traffic. So, the decision was made to beat feet out of there and try and get around the storm and get home. Heading back towards the Pennsylvania line and then traveling east in the Southern Tier of NY, I was skirting the storm.

After eleven and one half hours, I finally made it home to Moriah; a road burnout, goo goo eyes and all!

Checking in with everyone was now the goal.

The land line was now our form of communication. I would go back if they needed help like a generator, water pump or whatever, to help out.

I had to wait until the emergency was over and they allowed people back on the roads.

Thankfully, the snow melted slowly and did no damage. There was very little flooding, cellar pump outs or water damage. The family was trapped in their homes for four or five days, with shoveling 5 to 7 feet of snow out of the drive as the chore of the week.

The snow disappeared almost as fast as it came. I had to go back for a funeral this past week in Ontario, Canada and saw the green grass of Hamburg, NY. Seven feet of snow was reduced to a few piles along the roads or where they stockpiled the snow during the removal process.

Most of the snow was gone but what was left behind was a demonstration of the power and weight of snow. Over 20 commercial buildings crushed under the weight of the snow.

On my way through the area, I drove along route 62, in the Town of Eden, where I once lived. Eden is the center of agriculture in Erie County. Cabbages; broccoli, vegetables and sweet corn are all grown there by the ton.

Greenhouses and farmers markets line the town roads with fantastic deals for buying local foods. Sausages, meats, fruits and vegetables are all on sale, when in season to those who ap-

preciate quality foods.

For EdenÕ s agriculture it was a big hit.

Green houses and high tunnels made of glass and plastic were squashed by the weight of the wet

By Rich Redman snow. Those green houses that were lined up next to each other to save space really took the hit. They were leveled. The weight of the snow on the top and pressure on the sides was too much. It brought them down.

Compacted greenhouses do not grow fruits and vegetables. Many had crops growing in them to supply markets with fresh spinach and other greens for winter use. They were also destroyed.

The Western New York farmers and their Ò Gardens of EdenÓ encountered natures wrath.

A Farmers livelihood depends on growing food for all of us, so the next time you drive by a farmers market, stop and buy some locally grown food. That spinach or other greens you are getting today may have been grown out in Western NY, or just down the road. It doesnÕ t matter. All of New York is local to me. I have lived, visited, hunted and fished all over the state and can call many places home.

From Tonawanda NY where the General Motors engine plant is, to Hamburg, with the Ford stamping plant, to EdenÕ s gardens all the way across the state to Washington County Dairy farms, to Clinton CountyÕ s Macintosh and Cortland Apple Orchards; they are all part of our lives, so buy local.

The farmers in Western NY will go on. Crops will be planted and harvested for you to enjoy. We all need to remember; we can buy local foods or get imported foods from foreign countries that donÕ t have the same regulations as we do. ItÕ s a choice that affects lives.

DonÕ t ya love those stickers that say buy local when they are slapped on the bumper of a Subaru, Honda, VW or Toyota? Get real!

Conservation

Conversations

recently watched an episode of Ò Fat Guys in the WoodsÓ , a new reality show which features a group of three or four amateur woodsman roughing it in the forested mountains of Tennessee.

The premise of the show is obviously entertainment, as it allows viewers to witness the hardships of four inexperienced outdoorsmen who endure a host of difficulties as they attempt to survive for three days in the woods without any food, water, shelter or fire.

Of course, the reality of the survival experience comes immediately into question when you realize they are wired for sound and filmed from every angle.

Despite alot of talk about hunting and trapping wild critters for food, the end result of most of these efforts is usually a quick snack of slugs, bugs, a frog or some berries.

Although the program does occasionally offer some solid information on the development of survival skills, the majority of their time is consumed with building shelters, attempting to start a fire or working on nonessential skills such as weaving cordage for unspecified use.

However, it is the development of primitive skills that should be a key element of every outdoor travelerÕ s bag of tricks.

Honing survival skills and a comprehensive knowledge of the outdoors has largely become a lost art, especially in this day and age of Ô instant everythingÕ .

ItÕ s been estimated that less than one in a hundred adults currently know how to kindle a fire, secure potable water or establish the direction of true north without a compass.

I guess it shouldnÕ t be much of a surprise, as we have come to a point in history where such knowledge no longer considered important. A cell phone is likely the only survival tool most travelers consider necessary today.

However, there was a time when such skills and knowledge was essential for an individualÕ s daily survival. It was a time before The Weather Channel provided instant weather updates, and the average traveler actually knew how to read the natural signs.

In the timeframe of 1880Õ s through the early 1900Õ s, there were over a hundred woodsmanÕ s manuals penned by the likes of Bradford Angier, Horace Kephart, Elmer Kreps, George Washington Sears (Nessmunk), Ellsworth Jaeger, and Ernest Thompson Seton among others.

A majority of these publications were devoted to the skills necessary to get by in a northern woodland setting, although several of the authors also dealt with cold weather camping.

A list of the most popular titles would have to include Ò Camping and WoodcraftÓ by Horace Kephart, Ò Woodcraft and CampingÓ by George Washington Sears, Ò Camping OutÓ by Warren Miller, Ò The ForestÓ by Stewart Edward White, Ò Camp and TrailÓ by Stewart Edward White, Ò TrailcraftÓ by Claude Fordyce Ò Touring AfootÓ by Claude Fordyce, Ò WoodcraftÓ by Elmer Kreps, and In Camp-Lore and Woodcraft by Umcle Dan Beard The origin of the term ‘primitive’ comes from prime – meaning first. The foundation of modern man’s ‘first skills’ were likely refining tools and techniques for cutting, trapping and eventually, for controlling fire.

Fire making remains among the most useful of all outdoor skills, and it is an essential tool to have in any oneÕ s bag of tricks.

A simple fire will get a traveler through tougher times than any other single skill. Fires provide warmth, light, visibility, heat, protection, and comfort. Fire keeps the mind from wandering, and focused on the present. It keeps a person busy.

Despite a constant need for improvements, and the advent of new technologies and materials, there will always be a need for mankind to look back. Maybe it is just simple nostalgia, or a yearning for days long since past.

But, whatever the case, there is no doubt that mankind retains a deep seated need for rough settings in natural surrounding.

I suppose it was the great naturalist, John Muir who explained it best, when he claimed, Ò Going to the woods is going home, for I suppose we all came from the woods originally.Ó ItÕ s interesting to note the wide variety of topics and skills offered in these early publications which ranged from camp construction, to fire building, cooking, hunting, fishing and trapping.

The necessities of food, water and shelter were given heavy play, while there was little mention of the necessity of simple play.

By and large, the manuals were penned in a very serious matter, as survival was not to be taken lightly.

As part of my ongoing effort to introduce the next generation of outdoor travelers to the ways of the woods, I often provide them with a full day of skills development which includes shelter building, fire starting, and the essential elements of land navigation. We also work on track identification, fishing techniques and collecting wild edibles.

There is a particular satisfaction that comes with knowing you possess the skills and knowledge necessary to get by in the woods. And with this knowledge, comes confidence and comfort.

Having the skills necessary to start a fire can be the difference between a simple adventure and a tragic incident.

Fish trap expected to pay dividends for salmon fishery A significant upgrade at the Ed Weed Fish Culture Station in Grand Isle is expected to pay dividends for the health of the salmon population in Lake Champlain.

Recently, hatchery staff, fisheries biologists and other officials from the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department teamed up to construct a fish trap on Hatchery Brook, the station’s discharge stream. The trap will improve the collection process for adult salmon during their spawning run into the brook.

After being collected, the adult salmon are used to reproduce and provide fertilized eggs for the stateÕ s Ed Weed Fish Culture Station, where the eggs are hatched and young salmon are reared before being returned to Lake Champlain.

“Being able to collect fish in a safe, efficient and effective way for both staff and salmon is key to our overall fisheries management plan,” said Adam Miller, fish culture operations chief with Vermont Fish & Wildlife.

Former methods used to collect salmon involved more handling and stress on fish, and were less efficient for hatchery staff and biologists.

Lighting a fire with a spark from flint and steel is a very satisfying experience. Cooking healthy sized trout fillets over the coals of the same fire is even more rewarding.
