SCHROON LAKE — Schroon Lake shared the stage with Hollywood during a recent film festival in Italy.

Emily Rossi-Snook of Schroon Lake attended the Archivio

Nazionale del Film di Famiglia in Bologna recently to show family movies taken during the production of “Marjorie Morningstar.” The 1957 movie starring Natalie Wood was filmed in Schroon Lake.

Members of the Rossi family — brothers John, Steve and Charlie — owned and operated movie theaters in the Schroon Lake, Port Henry and Crown Point from 1934-1982. A

movie fan, Charlie Rossi made home movies during the filming of “Marjorie Morning Star” in Schroon Lake and of “On the Waterfront” in Hoboken, N.J., in 1953.

The family’s love of film has spanned generations. When Emily Rossi-Snook’s daughter, Elena, learned of the home movies she urged her mother to act.

“My daughter, Elena Rossi-Snook,

Deadline nearing for tax exemptions Ti assessor offers assistance

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The deadline to apply for tax exemptions in Ticonderoga is approaching.

Property owners have until March 1 to seek a reduction on their tax bills, according to Patti Osier, Ti sole assessor.

“There are exemptions available to help many people in the community,” Osier said. “People who have any questions at all should call me or stop by my office. I’ll be happy to help.”

Osier can be reached at 585-5285. Her office, located on the second floor of the Ticonderoga Community Building, is open 3:30 to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Friday.

There are several different tax exemptions available in Ticonderoga. Osier pointed out.

Agriculture exemptions are available to people who have farms with $50,000 a year or more in sales. The ag exemption is also available to people who own farm land lease it to commercial operations.

Ticonderoga also offers a tax exemption to military veterans. The amount of the exemption various depending on when and where a veteran served. Combat veterans received greater tax breaks.

Tax exemptions also exist for not-for-profit groups such as churches, hospitals an other groups.

New York offers the School Tax Relief Program — STAR — which provides homeowners with two types of partial exemptions from school property taxes.

People who earn less than $500,000 and own and live in

their home are eligible for Basic STAR, which exempts the first $30,000 of the full value of a home from school taxes Enhanced STAR provides an increased benefit for the primary residences of senior citizens, age 65 and older, with qualifying incomes that exempts the first $62,200 of the full value of a home from school taxes.

Osier stressed people do not automatically receive exemptions. They must apply for them through office, unless they have previously applied.

Anyone who is uncertain if they qualify for a tax exemption or who isn’t certain if they are receiving one should call the assessor ’s office, Osier said.

“I know it can seem complicated to a lot of people, but I can help them,” Osier said. “People will need paperwork to prove they’re eligible for an exemption, but it’s not a difficult process.”

Information on assessments and exemptions is also available online through the town of Ticonderoga website — www.townofticonderoga.com — and the Essex County Office of Real Property website — www.co.essex.ny.us/realproperty.asp.

Osier, who is responsible for 3,500 parcels in Ticonderoga, OVER 60 VEHICLES IN STOCK! said the tentative town assessWWW.ABSOLUTEAUTOCREDIT.COM ment roll must be filed by May 1.

The Ticonderoga Historical Society has received a $1,000 grant from the Walmart Foundation.

“Storytelling will be the cornerstone of this educational endeavor,” Curtis said. “It is our design to excite children, exemplify the power of words, instill values and celebrate history. We

feel strongly that instilling enthusiasm for learning is most relevant in today’s world and is invaluable for improving the quality of life for those we serve in our community.”

The grant was presented to the Ticonderoga Historical Society by Jan Trombley, manager of the Ticonderoga Walmart.

“The historical society is most appreciative of this grant from the Walmart Foundation and looks forward to using it to make our community and even better place to live, especially for our children,” Curtis said.

TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Historical Society has received some help.

The group recently was awarded a $1,000 from the Walmart Foundation to assist in its youth education programs.

“Always challenged to enhance the interest in our museum offerings for the younger population, the Ticonderoga Historical Society focuses our children’s program on our Native American exhibit, an authentic replica of an Iroquois Longhouse replete with fire pit, sleeping platform, hides, furs, bark bowls and spices and corn hanging from the rafters,” explained June Curtis, a historical society trustee.

“Our next program will be a sequel to our 2011 children’s Native American Pow Wow. Red Hawk, an Abenaki living here in our local community, will provide the second in a series of interpretive presentations, learning adventures that depict his fascinating culture intertwining history, legends, personal experiences, folklore and storytelling. Native American legends abound with morals or lessons that are colorfully folded into their plots.”

The native American stories reach children, Curtis said.

“Understanding that storytelling is one of our oldest art forms and know-

Life or death .. what would you do?

Teachers influence lives; T we should respect them K

athryn Lacey asked an interesting question recently. “How many of your teachers can you remember?” she wondered. “Can you make a list naming them?”

Lacey, who is decades removed from her own education, remembers every one of her teachers. “That’s because they were important people in my life,” she said. “I bet you remember most of your teachers, too.”

Lacey was so influenced by her teachers that she became one. Now retired, she taught at Moriah Central School.

Can you name teachers from your school days? Probably so. Lacey is right.

Teachers have played and still do play important roles in our lives.

We should keep that in mind as school districts prepare 2012-13 budgets.

In recent years, as school taxes have increased, teachers have become an easy target of frustrated, angry people caught in a squeeze between stagnant incomes and a growing cost of living.

It’s not right to blame teachers for the problems of a national recession.

The truth is teachers have made greater sacrifices than any other group as schools struggle to improve student performance and reduce costs.

In the past few years virtually every teacher union in the North Country has made concessions — pay cuts, pay freezes, increased health insurance costs, longer hours, additional workloads and more.

And despite those concessions, teachers have still lost their jobs. Schools across New York have lost a total of 30,000 educator positions in the last three years, nearly 14 percent of the teaching workforce, according to the state education department. Last spring more than 7,000 teachers were laid off in New York and another 4,000 teaching positions went unfilled.

The number of out-of-work teachers is certain to grow as school boards work to meet the new 2 percent tax cap this spring.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo has proposed an $800 million increase in state aid to education this year. That’s an improvement from last year, but little of that money is expected to reach the North Country.

Again local school boards will face difficult decisions in preparing their 2012-13 budgets. In fact, this year could be even more difficult since many school districts are running low on fund balances that were used to get by in recent lean years. And despite promises from the governor, there has been no mandate relief for local schools who must still pay for decisions made in Albany.

Hopefully these difficult decisions can be made in the best interests of students and taxpayers without vilifying teachers. If teachers must be cut it should be done with sincere regret and disappointment after exhausting all other options.

We should remember teachers are much more than employees; they’re members of our communities. They raise families, work hard and contribute to our towns like all other residents.

They face rising taxes, too — they pay the same school taxes as everyone else.

And, like the rest of us, they must deal with increasing costs for gas, heat, food, education and more.

As teachers cope with the stresses of a recession and possible loss of their jobs they shouldn’t have to face the anger of neighbors.

Letters to the Editor

Crown Point battles rage on To the Times of Ti: The “Kosmider Krowd” has come unhinged. They lost an election and, rather than being gracious losers, are loaded for bear instead. Case in point: the December 2011 meeting at the Knapp Center at which time Mr. Clarke and Mr. Russell were appointed to the board of assessment review. From what I personally experienced that night, no one in that “Krowd” should ever hold a position of public trust. My companions and I, after sitting through the ranting of Mr. Kosmider, calling us liars and flies drawn to c**p, became the targets of hostile and intimidating behavior by several of the men. This, in my opinion, was meant to goad us into doing something foolish. I’d never experienced anything so deplorable and frightening.

Then supervisor, Ms. Kosmider, never once attempted to call for order.

And while I’m venting, let me assure you that the current town board will never allow Bob Patnode to be mistreated the way Charlie Mazurowski was at the fire house after the election. Not one member of that board intervened on his behalf.

Shame on them, too!

Jan. 5, 2012 meeting at the Supervisor ’s office: A changing of the guard; ground rules explained for conducting meetings in an orderly fashion. At this time, afore mentioned appointments were rescinded.

The Jan. 19 board meeting at the Knapp Center drew a full house. After business was attended to, a period of public comment was afforded to those who had signed up to speak. The first speaker, Mr. Menser, explained that he was asking this question on behalf of someone else. Stunningly, the question was, “Charlie (Harrington), are you a draft dodger?” The last draft was 40 years ago; why would such a question be relevant at this time except to cast aspersions on Charlie; character assassination by innuendo and intimidation. Well, Mr. Harrington patiently answered to the satisfaction of the questioner. I can’t imagine who the gutless wonder is that would make accusations through the mouth of a surrogate; who couldn’t muster the courage to ask Charlie man to man.

Lastly, Mr. Clarke took the podium and excoriated the board for rescinding his appointment, threatened lawsuits, etc. Now Mr. Clarke raised a question which must be thoroughly explored, and whatever the outcome, accepted. However, he exhibited no decorum in a public setting, used threatening words and gestures, when he could easily have made his point without resorting to bully tactics. He is no gentleman, is ill-mannered and a stranger to civility. From my experiences, most of the “Kosmider Krowd” fits that description. May I pose a question: Is it possible for them to disagree without being disagreeable? Probably not.

Very lastly, may I suggest again to our town board, to introduce a camera at each meeting, because a picture is worth a thousand words.

Ti airport an asset To the Times of Ti: In the Jan. 14 edition a letter from Deb Allen was printed about airport questions. General aviation air craft fly all over the area up here and they all use gas. I’m sure that many of those would include stopping at the Ti airport if they had a reason, such as purchasing fuel.

I think several would even want to see some of the attractions Ti has to offer them.

Selling fuel would be an income for the town as an attendant is not required and many small airports, like Ti, have these fuel stations now and they make money from them.

I worked in New Jersey and raised my family there and saw many small airports close down. We have a resource we should want to keep improving in order to attract more pilots and planes. I now live in Hague year round and keep my plane at the Ti airport and would purchase my fuel there, instead of giving my money to Glens Falls.

Tax cuts? Not really To the Times of Ti: The Obama administration as well as some members of Congress are hoping to continue with a reduction of employee contributions to the Social Security retirement system, passing it off as a tax savings. This is not a reduction of taxes. In reality they are asking you to under fund the Social Security Retirement System with the obvious goal of winning favor (votes).

The administration and some members of Congress tell you they are putting money back into the pockets of the taxpayers. In reality they may be intentionally or unintentionally bankrupting the only national retirement system the United States has.

With more and more corporations and some state and local governments reducing or eliminating retirement benefits, Social Security may be the only retirement left that the average American can rely on in old age. I have read estimates which indicate the U.S. government has “borrowed” over $3 trillion from the social security fund since the late 1960s. If the fund is bankrupted, the federal government will no longer be obligated to return the money — please note that Congress has excluded itself from participating in Social Security and has established a separate retirement system for itself.

One can only assume that current members of Congress on both sides of the aisle would rather not have to deal with repayment of the borrowed funds.

Don’t be fooled. To ensure that the Social Security Retirement System remains in tact, each and every tax paying American should demand that employee contributions into social security be reinstated to 6.2 percent. They should also ask that the estimated $3 trillion borrowed from the Social Security Retirement System by the U.S. government be returned, and that no further money be borrowed from the fund. If the Obama administration and certain members of Congress want to put more dollars into voters pockets, let them lower federal income taxes.

Keep in mind, the Social Security Retirement System is not funded by your tax dollars. It is funded by both employee and employer contributions to the fund.

Bankrupting Social Security would make it the biggest theft in the history of mankind. A $3 trillion-plus heist. The Social Security Retirement Fund looted simply because members of Congress were unwilling to make tough choices, choices which might prevent them from being re-elected.

Combat Vets thankful To the Times of Ti: The Combat Vets Motorcycle Association New York Chapter 19-3, New York Chapter 19-2 and Vermont Chapter 26-2 would like to send out a Heartfelt Appreciation to Moriah Central School, Superintendent William Larrow, Mrs. April Reeder, Athletic Director Brian Cross, Mr. Rodriguez for videotaping the event and to everyone else at the school that we might of overlooked to help make our presentation a success on Jan. 10 and to Courtney’s mom Jolene Clark for her help in keeping a secret from her. And a grateful thank you to her dad Herb Clark for serving our country for our freedom!

A thank you to Nancy Frasier, Lohr McKinstry and Fred Herbst for covering our story. Because of the coverage our mission on who and what the Combat Vets Motorcycle Association is will make our mission of “Vets Helping Vets” public and accomplish our goals.

When we heard the story about the outstanding job that the school chorus had achieved, being chosen to perform at Disney Performing Arts Program in Disney, and that a veteran’s daughter was among them, we felt that we needed to help. Courtney Clark became our focus, as her father was serving his sixth tour overseas. We accomplished our goals through the help of our brothers and sisters of the Combat

Vets Motorcycle Association.

Thank you to all the people that sat in their seat at half time of the Moriah–Peru JV Game and listen to our story.

These people are the heart of our accomplishment. Without your support and donations we cannot accomplish our mission — “Vets Helping Vets.”

Caroline Tromblee NY State Auxiliary Representative Crown Point

Planning meals can improve health To the Times of Ti: I have just finished reading the editorial on the food revolution in the Jan. 21 edition of the Times of Ti. You made some points I could agree with. Yes, we are a nation of overweight, under-healthy people. Not everyone, of course, but the numbers are definitely climbing.

Rather than holding the supermarkets responsible for this dilemma, perhaps we should place the responsibility where it belongs, squarely on the adult consumer. Markets are in the business of selling products and making profits, as are fast food restaurants and convenience stores. These businesses are going to stock the products that customers purchase, they are not in the business of being our parents and directing our eating habits.

I find that if you practice the “old fashioned” ways and eat reasonably and in moderation your weight and health will improve and stay improved.

Exercise is also a component of weight, and hence disease control, and is not something I want controlled by a fitness coach. A coach is a good option, but yet again it is a matter of personal choice and all adults should be able to make a good decision and have the fortitude to see it through.

Some helpful hints for consumers that we are all aware of but perhaps bear repeating: plan your meals in advance, shop the outer perimeter of the market, set aside some time for food preparation for the week (perhaps an hour on your day off). If you truly are too busy to prepare healthy food please note that most major markets have pre-chopped and diced veggies that are very handy to have in the refrigerator. Most fruits can be carried safely in your car, perhaps an insulated lunch bag would be helpful, and are an easy, filling snack or part of a meal with the quick and easy PB&J (they aren’t just for kids).

The upshot of my problem with the editorial is that there seems to be an assumption that we are too busy to turn on our brains and deal with our own basic care without the direction of a supermarket manager.

Yes we are all busy, I have been a working mother, not easy but really planning is all it takes. My mother did not work outside the home but managed to raise seven children without outside help and seven actually should qualify as a fulltime job. So please ladies and gentlemen, assert yourselves, buy good food, prepare good food, supply your kids with good food and walk, walk, walk and not just to the refrigerator.

New supervisor takes over for icon in Hague

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com HAGUE — Just a few weeks ago, a political icon in Warren County and in the town of Hague retired.

Dan Belden, in office since 1971 as town supervisor or superintendent of highways, decided to turn over the reins of Hague town government and his seat on the Warren County Board of Supervisors.

Replacing Dan Belden is Edna Frasier, who also has also achieved a high profile in the community, first as an elementary school teacher for 38 years in Brant Lake and North Warren Central, followed by a work as bookkeeper at Lakeshore Garage — a business she co-owns with her husband Dick Frasier.

Although most of her career was in teaching or business pursuits, she’s also recently been active in public service.

For the past six years she’s served on the Hague town board, four of them as deputy supervisor. One of her major accomplishments was planning and developing the Veterans Park in Hague, which was dedicated this past year. Her work included tracking down names of veterans to be honored in the walkway memorial.

Frasier said she originally ran for the town board because she had concerns about various issues in town and wanted to do something about them.

Ticonderoga from page 1 marketing plan in 2011, Fort Ticonderoga launched an initiative and rebranding effort that associated the fort with its significant history and the experience visitors will have there today,” said Justin Smith, chairman of the LPCVB/ROOST board of directors. “Aptly identified now as ‘America’s Fort,’ the historic site has also extensively broadened its programmatic offerings to result in a premiere tourism experience.”

Beth Hill, Fort Ticonderoga’s executive director, accepted the award.

“Fort Ticonderoga is honored to receive the recognition for its newly-developed ‘America’s Fort’ brand and related programs,” Hill said. “The ‘America’s Fort’ brand is intended to represent the site’s extraordinary story and to build increased visibility for one of North America’s most beautiful and defining historic sites.”

Fort Ticonderoga’s 2011 marketing strategic plan, led by Albany marketing firm Brawn Media, incorporated the ‘America’s Fort’ brand in all of its messaging including TV and radio commercials, online advertising, news releases and all marketing material.

Hill pointed out Fort Ticonderoga will offer a exhibit, “Bullets & Blades: The Weapons of America’s Colonial Wars and Revolution,” in 2012. There will also be several new programs, she noted.

“Visitors will be immersed in the fort’s tumultuous events of 1775 through daily programs including the fort’s new historic trades initiative which will include shoemaking and military tailoring,” she said.

Information on Fort Ticonderoga and its programs can be found online at www.fortticonderoga.org The Destination Product Award, which is given to the group

“I had some complaints, and my kids said, ‘Enough of the complaining, get involved and do something,’ — so I did,” Frasier said.

Prior to taking office Jan. 5, Frasier discussed her approach and future objectives.

“I’d like to see the the town board members work better together, working toward the same goals,” she said.

While tourism is the major enterprise in Hague, the town is increasingEdna Frasier ly becoming a retirement community, she said, noting that it presents both benefits and problematic aspects.

Many businesses which were once year-round are now merely seasonal, she said, noting she’d like to spur more year-round commerce.

“I’m hearing from a lot of local businesses that we need to encourage more people to visit Hague in the off-season,” she said.

She noted that the town for years had a general store — an important commercial and social focus of the community — but it closed Sept. 1.

“Hopefully it will reopen,” she said, adding that she will be strategizing various ways to boost economic activity in town. or individual who has, through capital investment or public coordination, moved forward with a project that positively affects the tourism-related infrastructure in Essex County.

“On October 16, 2009, the region was shocked by the sudden closure of the Lake Champlain Bridge,” said Smith. “This vital link between Crown Point, N.Y., and Addison, Vt., had been in place since 1929, effectively merging the two states and the business community into one, seamless region.“ In addition to causing inconveniences and economic challenges to residents on both sides of the lake, the loss of the bridge severed a link for travelers between New England and the Adirondacks.

The Destination Product Award was presented to the New York State Department of Transportation and the Vermont Agency of Transportation for securing the funding, facilitating the design and building the new bridge, which opened in November.

The Tourism Advocate Award, which is given to the group or individual who is directly responsible for bringing a large group or event to the area resulting in a significant economic impact, went to the Lake Placid Business Association for the creation, promotion and ongoing development of the Lake Placid Holiday Village Stroll event.

The awards were presented during a ceremony at the Conference Center in Lake Placid.

“As the destination marketing organization for Essex County, we are pleased to showcase the people and organizations who have made the greatest contributions toward achieving a sustainable tourism economy for our region,” Smith said. “I’m honored to celebrate the efforts of our industry’s best.”

The award nominees were submitted by peers and the winners were selected by the LPCVB/ROOST board.

Contest to name trail Cook Mountain in Ti TICONDEROGA — The Lake George Land Conservancy is holding a contest to name the summit trail at its Cook Mountain Preserve in Ticonderoga.

Naming rights will go to the winner of the conservancy's Name-the-Trail Drawing, which will take place March 6. Entries are being accepted until Feb. 25.

The conservancy is charging $50 to enter, or three chances for $100. To buy a naming ticket, call Cornelia Wells at 644-9673, or email cwells@lglc.org.

“One lucky winner will receive the naming rights to Cook Mountain’s red summit trail,” Conservancy Communications Manager Sarah Hoffman said in a release.

Cook Mountain climbs 885 feet in 1 1/4 miles from its base to the summit.

The name chosen by the winner must still be OKed by the conservancy staff and board of directors, however. “(The trail) includes spectacular views of Lake George and Lake Champlain,” Hoffman said. “Once approved, the new name will be identified on the preserve's kiosk, on its trail guide and on the LGLC website.”

Proceeds from the Name-the-Trail Drawing will go toward the protection of the conservancy’s Last Great Shoreline Preserve in Putnam. The environmental group said it plans to make the Last Great Shoreline Preserve Lake George’s first managed wildlife refuge.

The first 10 people whose names are drawn will also receive a bottle of Bixby’s Best Maple Syrup.

St. Mary’s School in Ticonderoga hosted its annual Christmas program recently. First and second grade students performed "The Best Present of All.”

Lake George gets top rating for water clarity among 98 New York lakes Gull Bay test leads the way PUTNAM — Lake George has received the best reading on a measurement for clarity among 98 New York lakes in 2011, according to the Lake George Association.

“If you want clear water in New York State, Gull Bay on Lake George is the place to be,” said Nancy Mueller, the manager of the New York State Federation of Lake Associations, Inc., the organization sponsoring New York’s Citizens Statewide Lake Assessment Program (CSLAP), in conjunction with the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation.

Gull Bay is located in Putnam. On Lake George, the program has been coordinated by the Lake George Association for the past eight years.

Peter Leyh, an LGA member, was one of several 2011 volunteers to participate in CSLAP. Leyh sampled water near Gull Bay on the north end of the lake, and sank a measuring disk for clarity, called a Secchi disk, into the lake. He was able to see the disk in the water at a depth of 11.3 meters on July 5, and he recorded a reading of 11.35 meters on Aug. 22. Both times Leyh was able to see the Secchi disk at a depth a little over 37 feet. On Aug. 7, LGA CSLAP volunteers Jack and Cathy LaBombard, who were testing the water near Huletts Landing, recording a reading of 11.24 meters. No other lake participating in the CSLAP program this year could match these readings.

“The rainy, stormy weather had most of the readings across the state down this year — so it was nice to have a few double digit readings.

They were hard to come by,” said Mueller.

Readings taken by participants on the LGA’s Floating Classroom showed similar results.

“We had some good days on trips for students in the north end of the Lake, and the readings we took near Roger’s Rock were probably close to Peter’s,” said Kristen Rohne, LGA watershed educator.

“While this is great news for Lake George,” said Walt Lender of Ticonderoga, LGA executive director, “it by no means allows us to relax our efforts to protect the Lake and keep it clean. In fact, it means just the opposite. People need to know that all of these exceptionally clear readings were taken at the north end of the lake on a perfectly calm day. The clarity and cleanliness in the south end of Lake George, near West Brook, is not anywhere close to this. We have seen a disturbing trend in loss of water clarity and quality from south to north.”

••••• TIMES

“This helps keep things in perspective for us,” said Emily DeBolt, LGA director of education.

“Yes, Lake George is facing many threats, but it is still exceptionally clear, and we are exceptionally lucky. We still have time to work together to protect it and keep it this way for years to come.

The key is acting now before it really truly is too late.”

Every summer since 2004, the Lake George Association has coordinated volunteers to assess water quality and clarity through the CSLAP program. The data gathered is used to help manage and assess trends in New York’s many lakes.

In addition to CSLAP, the Lake George Association actively encourages adults and children to learn more about lake monitoring and stewardship aboard its Floating Classroom, a specially equipped catamaran which takes groups out on the Lake from May through September.

Health & Fitness • Times of Ti - 19

What to do when beginning an exercise regimen At the dawn of a new calendar year, many people decide it's time to turn over a new leaf and shed those extra pounds that accumulated over the previous 12 months. The resolve to lose weight is perhaps never stronger than at the beginning of a calendar year, when the holiday season has passed but those added inches on the waistline remain.

Though it's noble to want to lose weight and improve health, regardless of what time of year it is, there are precautions men and women should take before beginning a new exercise regimen.

•Visit your physician. It's best to get a full physical before beginning an exercise regimen. A full physical can reveal if you have any health problems that might limit what you should and shouldn't be doing at the gym. If anything turns up, your physician can develop a plan of attack for you to address the issue.

If nothing turns up, then your doctor will probably give you the green light to go forward with few, if any, limitations.

•Conduct a self-assessment. Once you've visited the doctor and received the go-ahead to start working out, do an honest self-assessment to see where you are in terms of fitness. Walk a mile and time yourself. Do as many push-ups and sit-ups as possible, but be careful to stretch and not push yourself. This

self-assessment should not be demanding. Instead, the goal is to gauge where you are and how your body feels when doing some simple exercises.

•Establish your goals. The goal of most people beginning a new exercise regimen is to lose weight. However, there are other incentives as well. For example, some people might be starting to train for a marathon or another sporting event. Whatever the reason, know why you're getting started, as such goals can help you monitor your progress as the year goes on.

•Start slowly. Caution should reign supreme when beginning an exercise regimen. Diving into the deep end at the onset increases the risk of injury, which could limit activity for months to come. First get your body acclimated to exercise, then gradually challenge yourself as you see fit.

•Leave time to recover. Though it might feel rejuvenating to get back to exercising, it's important for everyone, but especially those who are just starting, to allow themselves some time to recover. Allow your muscles and joints to recover between workout sessions. Frequency of sessions can increase as your body gets acclimated, but at first allow a day or two between sessions so your body can recover.

Keeping Life In Motion

ing to try anything to lose weight going from product to product, from one crazy diet to another. After all, the ads and hype show people having great results. No wonder people start to feel that it is impossible to lose weight or tone up. The internet is full of companies marketing questionable diets. Their web pages are professional looking, have links to testimonials showing happy results and of course you are able to just click to order. Magazines have advertoials neatly tucked between the real editorials, look for the fine print across the top or bottom of the page. Even our real news shows have “fake news” reports about the next newest health trend.

Studies from sources promoting their own products and so on. Consumer Reports online (www.consumerreports.org) recently wrote about the recent rash of “fake news reports” promoting the acai berry. How many reports

did you hear about acai berry being oh so healthy. Maybe even a miracle product. Again some really good marketing and the public just jumps on board to spend some more on the next fad. It probably didn’t hurt to add this juice to your diet, but was it a miracle product.

Nope just some good juice, overpriced… but tasty, I’m told.

The Department of Agriculture’s page, www.choosemyplate.gov has some great information; recipes, food & activity trackers and lots more. You can type a food in and it will compare it to other foods. The American Institute for Cancer Research has The New American Plate at www.preventcancer. aicr.org. The site has some recipes or you can buy one of the many “New American Plate” cookbooks out.

T

he year 2011 has been a year of supposed miracle diets, some say medical breakthroughs. Many in modern society are convinced that a miracle cure for obesity is just around the corner, or perhaps here already.

One such program advocates a 500 calorie a day diet. Dr. Oz says that he recommends at least 1,200 calories of a balanced diet daily and that the hCG diet doesn’t really work. But he says the diet gives hope to those who have given up on losing weight. (you can read more about this in a 5-part video at www.doctoroz.com, from his pages search hcg diet). Well, I have to say that is just the type of thinking that has led to the obesity epidemic.

What good is losing weight if you sacrifice

your health for it? What good is losing lots of weight fast only to gain back more? Instead of giving false hope with a dangerous diet wouldn’t it be nice to promote common sense, moderation, variety in diet, fueling the body with whole foods and moderate activity. You know — living and enjoying life.

The FDA has recently stated that “All hCG diet products for weight loss are illegal.” You can read it for yourself at: www.fda.gov/ForConsumers and search hCG diet. That being said how many people will listen? Our society has been programmed to look for weight loss no matter the consequences, no matter the health risks. What if a diet product had a label that warned of horrible side effects BUT you’ll lose 10 pounds a week, how many people would do it anyway? From the number of ads and web sites promoting these types of diet products it seems there are many people will-

Elvis tribute performance scheduled for Feb. 11

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — Elvis is coming to Port Henry.

Drew Polsun, an Elvis Presley tribute artist, and his band The Fascinations will perform at the Port Henry Knights of Columbus Saturday, Feb. 11, as part of a dinner-show-dance.

“It’s a fundraiser to support the Knights of Columbus and our charitable efforts,” explained Tim Kolodzey of the Knights. “It should be a lot of fun.”

The dinner will be an Italian buffet served at 6 p.m. The Elvis performance will follow.

Tickets, priced at $20 a person, are available

by calling Chuck Kolodzey at 546-8290, Nappy Marcotte at 546-7501 or Tim Kolodzey at 5467125. Tickets must be purchased by Feb. 6.

Polsun and The Fascinations perform Vegasstyle shows paying tribute to the King of Rock & Roll.

Drew Polsun is a native of Glenville and has been performing the past 25 years. He has performed for radio and television and is considered one of the top Elvis Tribute Artists in the country.

The show will feature Polsun as Elvis performing with track music, Elvis performing with dancers/backup singers, skit productions, light shows and a full band.

“I have been performing Elvis tribute shows

throughout the region for many years,” Polsun said. “I have been blessed and had the great honor recently, thanks to the Elvis festivals, to sing on the Las Vegas Hilton stage, where Elvis himself performed, and also performed for Edison Pena, one of the Chilean miners who was trapped for 70 days and told the world on the David Letterman Show he was a huge Elvis fan.

“If there is one thing I have learned from performing, it’s that Elvis fans are the greatest people in the world,” he said. “Many dear friends have been made throughout the Elvis world, so like Elvis once said, I’ll keep singing the song. That’s what performing is all about, smiles, happiness and more Elvis fans.”

Teen theater troup to hold first performance at Moriah Central School MORIAH — Teen theater troup will hold it’s first public performance.

The Prevention Team and Moriah Central School will present the first public performance from their teen theater performance group, On Common Ground.

The group will perform “I Don’t Have a Problem,” a play about the dangers of gambling written and performed by students.

The play will be performed Feb. 2, at 6 p.m. at the Moriah Central School Auditorium, 39 Viking Lane.

“This event will be an opportunity for these hard working students to showcase their work to family, friends and community members for the first time,” Doug Terbeek, Prevention Team Director said.

On Common Ground, a theater group sponsored by the Prevention Team, writes and performs skits about current social issues for teens to promote awareness and to engage their peers in dialogue.

Original cast members, which included students from both Crown Point and Moriah Central Schools, worked with a professional acting group from Syracuse to create the production, “I Don’t Have A Problem.” They performed for students in Moriah, Crown Point, Westport, Keene and Elizabethtown schools last year.

Due to cuts in funding, OCG was scheduled to end at the conclusion of last school year. This year, Melissa Reilly, a Moriah Central School teacher, who volunteered to direct the group and with the support of Prevention Team staff members Darcey Hurlburt, Dave Wyant and Linda Gerardi, a group of new students will perform.

Bill Larrow, Superintendent of Moriah, offered transportation for this school year. Some new members joined last fall, and the troupe performed for the Prevention Teams’ 25th Anniversary Celebration and at Ticonderoga and Newcomb Schools last October, with more

performances scheduled for the spring.

Moriah group members this year include Andrew King, Amanda Ida, Shonna Provoncha, Patrick Simpson, David Lasell, Kylie McCabe, Brianna Sargent, Jon Brassard, Joe Rodriquez, Sarah Burbank, and Torie Fleury.

The event will take place in the newly renovated Moriah Central

makes art fun for the artist and interesting for the viewer.

She explained that creating art was like a rubber band.

When she begins a print, she stretches the limits of possibility as far as they can take her. Then, like the rubber band contracting and strengthening around the object it binds, she gives her print a final, definite form.

During the “Winter Magic” exhibition, Gregson will display etchings made during the summer of 2003 when she studied under master printmaker Dan Welden in Florence, Italy.

SCHROON LAKE — A Schroon Lake artist is exhibiting her work nearby.

Anne Gregson’s work s part of “Winter Magic,” which is on display at the North Country Arts Center in Chestertown.

Located on Main Street, the gallery will be will open weekends through March 3. The exhibit features three works by Gregson and works by 45 other Warren and Washington county artists.

Gregson, who works from her Schroon Lake home, was born in New Jersey but has lived in several states. In 1981, she came to the Adirondacks, where she settled in Schroon Lake. She is a retired art teacher at Schroon Lake Central School.

The Schroon artist has worked in many mediums, but has concentrated on Solarplate printmaking recently. The artform makes use of light-sensitive metal plates to create an image that looks like an etching.

To make a Solarplate print, Gregson explained, the artist makes a drawing on a transparent or translucent film. Gregson often uses a film of ground glass. The metal plate is coated with a light-sensitive material, the film placed on top of the plate, and then the ultraviolet light from a sunlamp helps impress the image on to the plate. Gregson then processes the plate further with water to create the image she wants.

Sometimes she uses watercolors to make the print more vibrant; often she uses sepia tones to capture an older, antique look. The solarplating process can make a print look like either an intaglio print or one done in relief; it can also make the print look like an etching, a lithograph, a screenprint, a linocut, and even a photograph.

Gregson said her art focuses on fun.

“Keep it fun,” she said, “and flexible. Begin with a vision of what you want, and then let the materials talk to you as you create.”

Sometimes her final print is different from the vision of it she had when she began, but for Gregson, this creative process is simply normal and an important part of what

Thrift shop to become handicap accessible Crown Point scout plans project

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — From the time Keegan Choffat joined Cub Scouts, he looked up to Eagle Scouts.

“When you see an Eagle Scout you see how people look up to them,” Choffat said. “You look at them and you realize they’ve accomplished something great; something few others do.”

Choffat is now on the verge of being an Eagle Scout himself.

“It’s something I’ve wanted for a long time,” Choffat, a member of Crown Point Troop 70, said. “It’s definitely been a big goal of mine.”

A senior at Crown Point Central School, Choffat has completed all the required merit badges to become an Eagle Scout, the highest rank available in Boy Scouts. Fewer than 5 percent of scouts achieve the Eagle rank — about 1.7 million since scouting started in 1912.

All that’s left for Choffat, the son of Marybeth and Walter Worth, to receive the Eagle award is to complete a community service project and to go before a board of review.

For a community service project Choffat is constructing a handicap accessibility ramp at the Second Blessings Thrift Shop, located in the Hammond Chapel in Crown Point.

Rev. David Hirtle, pastor of the First Congregational Church of Crown Point, welcomes the project. His church

operates Second Blessings.

“The project is a collaboration between Keegan’s mother, Marybeth Worth, a need for an Eagle Scout project, and a need at the Hammond Chapel which houses the Second Blessings Thrift Shop,” Hirtle said. “Last summer, Marybeth, our Thursday afternoon staff person, mentioned to me that her son was looking for a community project that would fulfill the requirements of his Eagle project. We spoke of several possibilities. A project that ensured accessibility for all into Second Blessings was a win-win for everyone in the community.”

Second Blessings Community Thrift Shop is open on Saturdays 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a limited period into February due to heating demands. However, if there is an urgent need, people can call 5973398.

“The church met and decided to encourage Keegan to go forward with the project,” Hirtle said. “We have been in a supportive role only as Keegan made the plans and supply lists.”

The project will actually require construction of two ramps, Choffat explained. One will lead from the ground to a porch at the chapel and the other from the porch to the entrance to Second Blessings.

“The entrance is pretty high off the ground,” Choffat explained. “Two ramps will make it much easier for people.”

The project is estimated to cost almost $1,000. Choffat is now in the process of getting supplies and completing fundraising. He said anyone who would like to donate to the project can mail a check to the First Congregational Church of Crown Point, noting it’s for the Second Blessing project.

Choffat is also holding a raffle.

Keegan Choffat Choffat hopes to begin construction of the ramps later this month, building them in a garage before transporting them to the Hammond Chapel for installation.

Assisting Choffat with the effort are his scoutmaster, Steve Mildon, his father and fellow scouts.

Ice fishing clinic slated for Feb. 11 in Crown Point fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Crown Point children will have a chance to learn about ice fishing from experts.

The Vermont Sportsman Association will hold a free ice fishing clinic for children age 15 and younger Saturday, Feb. 11, 10 a.m. to noon at Monitor Bay Park on the shores of Lake Champlain.

All children need to be accompanied by an adult or “Your Local

guardian and are advised to dress warmly and appropriately.

An introduction to the equipment used, proper ice fishing techniques and ice safety will be covered. Prizes will be awarded.

The Marine Corps League DET 791, the Essex County Leathernecks, are sponsoring the event with assistance from the Crown Point Chamber of Commerce.

“The Crown Point chamber is supporting the event by supplying manpower, a portable bathroom and refreshments for the children attending,” Nancy Ockrin, chamber co-chair, said. “Hot dogs, hot drinks and other refreshments will be available by donation.

“Some of the individual supporting businesses for the event include Norm’s Bait and Tackle, Crown Point Barbecue Catering and Stoney Lonesome Bed and Breakfast,” she added. “Other caring folks from First Congregational Church and the Crown Point community will also be on hand and helping.”

Ockrin expressed her gratitude to the Marine Corps League.

“We couldn’t have done this without these guys,” she said.

“Commandant Brad Peters and Junior Vice Commandant Mike Forand are to be especially thanked for all they did to make this happen.”

Hoboken in 1953 at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Hollywood where they preserved the original 16mm film footage.”

“Lynne Kirste, curator at the Academy Film Archive, contacted me early this fall to inform me that she would like to use my footage in a home movie film festival in Bologna, Italy, in a program titled ‘Hollywood Home Movies’,” Emily continued. “She asked if I was interested in participating in the festival by introducing my films.”

The festival, “Archivio Aperto,” was a program at the Archivio Nazionale del Film di Famiglia and was held in a Renaissance-era church in Bologna. The event had about 200 attendees.

The festival was organized to celebrate UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, an annual event that helps promote audiovisual archives and their preservation.

“I was introduced as a special guest,” Emily said, “the only speaker in attendance who owned the films being shown and could provide personal commentary on family members and community involvement. A professional translator was provided to take my commentary and offer it in Italian.

“The festival was very well received and I was told that the warmth of the commentary and the story of my family and beautiful hometown were heartwarming and memorable,” she added. “It was a wonderful trip and memorable experience.”

As an introduction to the silent films. Emily told the audience: “My family loved their Italian heritage and they loved the movies. They would be so proud to know that their home movies are here, home in Italy.

“In 1932 my dad, John Rossi, and Uncle Charles Rossi left their home in Hoboken, N.J., to buy a movie theatre in Schroon Lake, N.Y., known as the Lake Como of America. The family worked together. My first job when I was very small was to take the cellophane wrappers off the candy boxes.

“The highlights of Uncle Charlie’s life came in 1953 and 1957 when Hollywood came to his two home towns — ‘On the Waterfront’ with Marlon Brando was shot in the winter of 1953 in Hoboken and in 1957 ‘Marjorie Morningstar’ starring Natalie Wood and Gene Kelly was shot on beautiful Schroon Lake. Both times Uncle Charlie was there as an extra in the films. Both times he had his 16 mm camera.”

The home movies include footage of several Schroon Lake residents.

“I was able to point out local residents who were extras in the film with Uncle Charlie, hamming it up with George Tobias and Marty Milner,” Emily said. “There was a striking scene of a young, beautiful Natalie Wood during a light check; the rehearsal of the bullfight scene which included locals Lil Richardson, Janet Friedman, Marie Rossi and Eleanor Drake.

Gene Kelly playing ping pong with Marty MIlner and Robert Wagner, who was not in the film but who showed up on set to court Natalie Wood.

“Thanks to help from Lil Richardson, I was able to provide the information that Ed Wynn and Claire Trevor were so friendly and kind to the locals,” she continued. “Gene Kelly came into town to buy produce from the local grocery. I also relayed the family story that Grandma Rossi cooked traditional Italian pasta dinner for George Tobias at the Paramount Theater one night after the theater finished its last show of the night.”

“Marjorie Morningstar” was based on the 1955 novel of the same name. The film, released by Warner Bros. and directed

by Irving Rapper, tells a fictional coming of age story about a young Jewish girl in New York City in the 1950s. The film traces Marjorie Morgenstern’s attempts to become an artist, exemplified through her relationship with the actor and playwright Noel Airman.

The central conflict in the film revolves around the traditional models of social behavior and religious behavior expected by New York Jewish families in the 1950s, and Marjorie’s desire to follow an unconventional path.

Emily Rossi-Snook concluded her remarks at the film festival by telling her Italian audience: “I return to beautiful Schroon Lake often and consider it my home. The People of Schroon Lake, those who remember the filming of ‘Marjorie Morningstar,’ the extras who were in it, who knew the stars, remember my uncle and family and their movie theaters, say hello to you, the citizens of Bologna.”

Ti kegler shocked by performance McKee rolls into the record book

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Jordan McKee is a very good bowler. A three-time state championship tournament qualifier for the Ticonderoga High School girls team, McKee is an established kegler.

That didn’t prepare the Sentinel junior for Jan. 4. That day McKee rolled a record 750 series as Ti defeated Beekmantown in Champlain Valley Athletic Conference action.

McKee’s 750 broke the old CVAC mark of 719, set by AuSable Valley's Savannah Ronfeldt.

McKee fired a 279-234-237-750 for the Sentinels.

Her 279 game tied the CVAC record for high game, which she now shares with Ronfeldt, Saranac’s Hillary Miner, Plattsburgh’s Stacy Steele and Beekmantown’s Ali Munson.

“I didn’t know it was a record un-

til it was over,” McKee said of the match. “I knew 279 was a great game and I was doing well, but I had had no idea I was setting records. I was shocked.”

Although unaware of the records, McKee faced plenty of pressure. She started the match with nine straight strikes and was staring at a perfect game until missing a single pin in the 10th frame. She got that spare and finished with a strike for her 279 game.

“It was nerve racking,” McKee said of the possible 300 game. “I was pretty nervous; I was shaking. Some of my teammates tried to talk to me about a perfect game and I tried to talk about other stuff. I didn’t want to think about it.”

McKee came up just short of the perfect game, but she was on a roll. A 186 average bowler, she fired games of 279, 234 and 237.

“Bowlers try to find a target in the center of the lane, a mark,” Donna Fleury, Ti bowling coach said. “Jordan found her mark and hit it over and over. If a bowler can hit their mark 50 percent of time they’re doing

well. She must have hit it 85-90 percent.”

McKee is one of the section’s top girl bowlers, but her record day caught her by surprise.

“There’s no way I could have expected that,” McKee said. “The match before I had one of my worst ever; I had a 493. But I was in a good mood all day (Jan. 4) and felt really good when the match started.”

Fleury, who once fired an 824 series, understands.

“You never know when it’s going to be your day,” Fleury said. “You just go out there and sometimes everything falls into place.”

McKee didn’t leave a single pin standing during her record day, making every spare.

The key moment in the record-setting match came in the 10th frame of the first game when McKee left a pin standing. She confidently got the spare and added another strike to close the game.

“When she picked up that spare I knew she had something special going,” Fleury said. “That was the

Coach Donna Fleury and Jordan McKee reflect on McKee’s Section VII record-setting day. McKee’s 750 series broke the old conference mark of 719. Her 279 game tied the record for high game. biggest ball she threw.”

McKee started bowling to strengthen her arm for softball. She’s a pitcher for the Sentinel team. That was in eighth grade. Since then she has made her mark on the lanes. She was part of the Section VII Ticonderoga girls championship team three years ago, the only Ti team to win a

section bowling title, and has twice been named a CVAC all star. She has advanced to the state championship tournament each of the last three years.

Fleury noted McKee gets better every year. Last season she averaged 169 a game. This year that average is up to 186 and climbing.

Congrats, Tupper Lake

L

ast week, I retreated from the ice and snow to spend a few days inside at the monthly meeting of the Adirondack Park Agency’s Board of Commissioners.

January’s monthly meeting was the agency’s first meeting of the New Year, and the first to be presided over by Leilani Ulrich, the APA’s new chairwoman of the board. The meeting also offered the promise of a decision regarding the fate of the Adirondack Club and Resort development, which had first been proposed in 2004.

I’ve attended numerous meetings at the APA’s headquarters in Ray Brook over the years. While most of them have been rather benign affairs, many were rowdy, rancorous events, with insults, recriminations and criticisms being hurled in all directions. Typically, there’s been a group of protesters, equipped with standard, ‘Abolish the APA’ signs, awaiting attendees, and there always seemed to be an adequate supply of scowls, scorn and scandal to go around. APA meetings are not just simple, dull, bureaucratic affairs, they can be entertaining events, regardless of which side you’re on.

I came of age in the early days of the APA, and I’ve watched the agency grow. I’ve listened to many stories, concerning the agency’s actions, both good and bad. The battle-song, “Someone mentioned the APA, how much land did you steal today?” still reverberates in my head. It was written and recorded by my old friend, Matt McCabe, who now owns a guitar shop in Saratoga Springs.

After the eventual approval of the project, Jim LaValley, a Tupper Lake businessman who organized local efforts to support the project, claimed a new tune was in his head, “What a long, strange trip it’s been,” by the Greatful Dead.

My intention in attending the meetings was not to analyze the arguments, or to scrutinize the board’s final deliberations concerning the largest development proposal ever to be presented to the APA. I simply wanted to observe the entire affair, from a ‘fly on the wall’ perspective. I wanted to take it all in, without judgment or prejudice, with no personal opinions or preconceived notions.

My first impression, as I pulled into the agency’s parking lot, in Ray Brook, early on a bone-chilling, Adirondack morning, were the protesters, or rather, the lack of them.

A portion of the lot was cordoned off with barricades to corral the expected protesters, but there was just one, lone soul standing in the cold, holding a placard. He was masked against the cold rather than for anonymity, and his sign read, ‘Save the

hoo.com or John Bartlett at jbartlett1@nycap.rr.com “The goal of WinterFest remains the same,” John Bartlett, an event organizer, “to get people out and involved, to help beat the winter blues. Whether it is to help combat childhood obesity or just a break from cabin fever, WinterFest is designed to provide the community and area visitors with the opportunity to be more physically active. Ideally, we hope to get families and their children involved.”

WinterFest 2012 will be held 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in and around Ticonderoga’s Bicentennial Park.

It will feature sledding, ice skating, broomball, snowshoeing, snowmobile rides and other events.

The main sponsors for the day of outdoor activities are the town of Ticonderoga, Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership, Ticonderoga Central Schools, Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, Ticonderoga Kiwanis and the Adirondack Trailriders.

Others who would like to become involved can contact Matt Courtright at the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce at

Adk’s’, ‘There’s too much development’.

Something didn’t sit right.

But when I interviewed him, and discovered he was from Long Island, it all began to make sense. Development wears a different mask on Long Island.

Entering the conference room, I noted it was surprisingly empty, with less than half the available seats occupied. I wondered, “Does this reflect a lack of interest after eight years, or is it a signal of capitulation for what many believe, is a foregone conclusion. ” Although there were a few of the regular APA followers, and the advocacy group members in attendance, it seemed that there were far more media types than concerned citizens.

Following preliminaries, including the introduction of Dan Kelleher, the agency’s new Special Assistant for Economic Affairs, the meeting got off to a quick start.

Kelleher was soon on deck, providing the board with a comprehensive financial analysis of the proposed development, complete with projections for the estimated sale of properties, work force development opportunities and a full spectrum of associated economic impact issues.

Commissioners scrutinized these economic projections and promptly questioned Kelleher about issues involving the complex financing, PILOT’s, sales projections, labor costs and other financial issues surrounding the mega-resort project.

The day wore on, and the questions kept coming, as commissioners expressed concerns with the projected volume of sales, the long term viability of the ski center, and the stages of development for the resort. Which phase will occur first? It was a ‘chicken or the egg’ syndrome played out with sales projections, infrastructure requirements, great camp lots, neighborhoods, wastewater treatment systems, power lines, new roads, and a renovated ski lodge.

As APA staffers detailed an extensive, laundry list of actions deemed necessary for the project, the phrase “Illegitimi non carborundum,” came to mind. This bastardization of the Latin language, translates roughly as, "Don't let the bastards grind you down.” I expect it is a term that Mr. Foxman understands all too well.

Day two found commissioners barricaded behind huge stacks of paperwork, which cluttered the tabletops, and spread onto the floor. By mid morning, the room began to fill, although there were still plenty of empty seats available. The crowd was largely a grey haired mob, with only a few younger folks in at-

585-6619.

Adrienne Weld, a Ticonderoga High School physical education teacher, founded WinterFest in 2010. The inaugural WinterFest attracted about 60 participants and 40 volunteers despite bitterly cold winter.

“Participation almost doubled in 2011 and we hope to see even more join in the fun this year,” Bartlett said. “People are encouraged to bring their own equipment, although there will be some equipment available for use by the public.”

There will also be refreshments available as well as raffles for donated prizes. People can register for prizes in the public parking lot next to the Elks building. The drawing for the prizes will be held at 1:30 p.m.

“WinterFest is free to all, but we do encourage you to bring a donation for the Ticonderoga Food Pantry,” Bartlett said. “We suggest either $2 or two non-perishable food items.”

Getting into the Winter Fest spirit, the chamber will organize local businesses to offer discounts and specials on that day. tendance.

The somber mood of the previous day’s proceedings was replaced with light joviality and anticipation. Testimony revolved around details of building restrictions, great camp lots, housing footprints, codes, outdoor lighting, vegetative clearings, energy consumption and conservation, protections for amphibians and from invasive species. Commissioners peered into a crystal ball, to discern impacts well into the future, and they wanted no stone left unturned, or unprotected.

The hearings were a formidable undertaking, with hour after hour of boring legalese, and regulations terminology. There were over a half dozen lawyers among the participants, and the list of state agencies included the APA, DOT, DEC, DOH, and the Department of State.

Mr. Foxman, the lead developer of the project, sat in the audience and appeared to be complacently patient. Commissioner Booth, who took on the reins of opposition, came across as a rumpled, frumpy curmudgeon. There appeared to be little doubt about which way his vote would go.

Day three brought the final testimony, and the dour, sour atmosphere that had hung over earlier proceedings, began to evaporate. There was still a lot of paper shuffling going on, yet Mr. Foxman maintained a poker face.

As the hearings wound through the final day, various stipulations were tagged to the development’s timetable, including agreements that independent monitors be employed to prevent the use of invasive and non-native plants and trees in landscaping and gardens. Similar restrictions were applied to the resort’s marina, which will be located on Tupper Lake.

To protect the community, developers also committed to keeping the ski area open and available to the public for at least 50 years.

Finally, after numerous writes and rewrites, fits and starts, restrictions, prescriptions and predictions, which promised both doom and boom, the commissioners cast their votes.

When Chairwoman Ulrich called for a roll of votes, the audience held their collective breath. Commissioner Booth offered the first vote, and as many had expected, it was “no.”

Next up, was Commissioner Sherman Craig, who delivered the first, of 10 consecutive “yes” votes. With the vote complete, there was an audible exhale among the crowd, and the energy in the air was palatable. Cheers and backslapping were the order of the hour.

It was a good day to be a Tupper Laker, and it was a good day for the APA. The agency and its dedicated staff provided concrete evidence that there is room for responsible, and compatible development in the Adirondacks.

It was also a memorable moment in the park’s history. I hope there are ramifications, beyond the lawsuits that are likely to be expected from a few disgruntled, advocacy groups.

Although there’s much work to be done, the decision sends a message of hope. Congratulations to Tupper!
