New sign regs will cost taxpayers $1.9 million

The St. Regis Mountain Fire Tower is one of two towers being discussed by the Adirondack Park Agency Board.

By Jon Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — Adirondack Park Agency commissioners directed agency staff Thursday to find a way to let the fire towers remain atop St. Regis and Hurricane mountains – provided that a non-taxpayer-based funding source for their upkeep can be found.

Located in state-owned Primitive and Canoe areas, both towers are considered non-conforming structures under the current draft of the State Land Master Plan.

But considering the public’s affinity for the federally recognized historic structures, commissioners like Dick Booth were torn between the requirements of the SLMP and the preservation of the region’s cultural history.

“The big part of me says, look, this is a decision that was made decades ago when the SLMP was crafted and we should finish doing what has been left undone for a long time,” Booth said. “But a part of me also says the towers are there, they are historic and although they have an impact on the wilderness character, it is certainly a bearable impact.”

But for Commissioner Art Lussi, the question of the towers’ continued existence is a little more cut and dry.

“We need to find a way to preserve them and there’s no easy option,” Lussi said. “But that’s my position. We need to find an option to preserve the towers as they sit.”

The Adirondack Local Government Review Board petitioned the agency to find an alternative to their removal, but according to a staff report, each and every method of legally attaining this goal will be time consuming and complicated.

Commissioner Lani Ulrich stressed that doing things right supersedes doing things quickly.

“The number of years that it will take to get it right doesn’t bother me,” Ulrich said. “I don’t like things taking forever, but I’d like to get it right.”

Commissioners directed agency staff to find the most legally viable choice of three options that would allow for the continued presence of the fire towers in their historic locations. Officials said each would have an impact on the SLMP itself, ranging from creating small historic parcels to an outright amendment that would make the towers conforming in Wilderness and Primitive areas.

Officials said each option is relatively complex – but doable.

ELIZABETHTOWN — New federal regulations regarding road signage will equate to an expense of nearly $1.9 million for taxpayers in Essex County, according to the county’s top highway official.

Essex County Department of Public Works Superintendent Tony Lavigne met with the county’s DPW committee at its April 19 meeting, and expressed his concern regarding regulations enacted in December by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

“We are currently in the process of changing all the county signs to meet the new federal standard,” said Lavigne.

The regulations require the replacement of signs which have outlived their shelf-life for reflectivity. Lavigne said the county is working to replace an estimated 12,000 such signs on county and town roads in Essex County through the next four years, which will equate to a $1.2 million pricetag for municipalities.

In addition, recent changes to the regulations stipulate that rectangular signs with either a chevron or a large directional arrow are “recommended” to be used on curves where the advisory speed is 10 mph less than the speed limit and “required” where the difference is 15 mph or more.

To conform with the changes, Lavigne said 2,750 new signs will have to be placed at roughly 1,100 county road curves that previously had none, at a cost of $274,250.

He estimated 3,750 new signs on town roads with a cost of $401,250, for a total of $695,500.

And that’s just the up-front cost. According to Lavigne, the DPW will be responsible for maintenance of the signs, which will mean the potential for added cost in future years.

Essex County Department of Public Works superintendent Tony Lavigne displays one of the large directional arrow signs that will need to be installed along many road curves throughout Essex County. Lavigne estimates it will cost the county and towns a total of about $1.9 million to meet new Federal Highway Administration guidelines.

Lavigne said the changes in regulations will likely have little effect on traffic safety and are particularly burdensome to states in the Northeast where roads tend to have plenty of curves.

“Most of the roads in the Northeast were

established before the advent of automobiles and therefore don’t meet most engineering standards,” he said.

Failing to replace the signs could put the municipalities at risk for lawsuits, Lavigne

Lazio endorsed by North Country Reps Levy attends local TEA Party rally

By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — One Republican candidate in the race to become New York State’s next governor has garnered the support of two area legislators while another is making his first tour through the North Country.

Assemblywomen Janet Duprey (R-Peru) and Teresa Sayward (R-Willsboro) have given their endorsement to Rick Lazio, the Long Island Republican and former Congressman who announced his bid for governor in September.

The announcement of their endorsements comes just weeks after the Essex County Republican Committee announced its endorsement of Lazio, who now faces a challenge from Suffolk County executive Steve Levy and Erie County developer Carl Paladino.

“Rick is a life-long Republican with strong fiscally conservative values that people are looking for in government today,” said Sayward. “He

Medieval theme for next Winter Carnival SARANAC LAKE — Members of the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival Committee picked “Medieval Times” as their theme for the 2011 Winter Carnival at their April 14 meeting.

The decision was based on results from a recent online poll posed to readers of the Adirondack Daily Enterprise Web site in which two of the four suggested themes rose to the top of the results: Celtic Carnival and Renaissance Faire/Middle Ages. The other themes were Circus/Under the Big Top and Space Alien Invasion. More than 700 votes were tallied during the week of March 15.

“There were a lot of great ideas suggested for the 2011 Saranac Lake Winter Carnival, but, in the end, we could

only choose one,” said Committee Chairman Jeff Dickson, “and we believe that the community will rally behind our centerpiece, the Ice Palace, and make the ‘Medieval’ Carnival fit for royalty – our king, queen, prince, princess, court, and maybe a few jesters.”

Committee members thanked the dozens of people who suggested themes for 2011, the hundreds of people who voted, and the Adirondack Daily Enterprise for posting the question on its Web site.

The next meeting of the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival Committee will be in September. The 2011 Winter Carnival will be held Feb. 4-13.

Pendragon show to be broadcast on radio

Lazio

SARANAC LAKE — Pendragon Theatre will join North Country Public Radio and the Adirondack Non-Profit Network April 24 for a special radio event celebrating the work of nonprofits in the region. The core of the evening’s festivities is a “call in” to NCPR from 8–11 p.m. Many participants, including Pendragon, will call NCPR to share their celebration with listeners.

Pendragon’s selection is a reading of A.R. Gurney’s Pulitzer Prize-nominated play, “Love Letters.”

Founders Susan Neal and Bob Pettee portray Melissa Gardner and Andrew Ladd III. The play was devised as a reading in which the actors share their letters from across 50 years. Melissa and Andrew discuss the dreams, disappointments, victories and defeats that have transpired throughout their separated lives.

In addition to a run on Broadway, the play has been performed as a benefit for many non-profit organizations around the world.

Admission to the performance at Pendragon Theatre in Saranac Lake is $10. The performance begins at 8 p.m. A reception with the actors will follow.

Pendragon is the only year round professional theatre in the Adirondacks and celebrates 30 years in 2010.

For further information and reservations contact Pendragon at 518-891-1854, or via e-mail at pdragon@northnet.org.

Committee, Inc. is a not-for-profit group of volunteers dedicated to organizing an annual mid-winter festival during the first two weeks of February.

This 10-day, communitywide event traces its roots to a one-day Carnival held in 1897 by the Pontiac Club.

The Carnival honors its heritage every year by building an Ice Palace from blocks of ice harvested from Lake Flower ’s Pontiac Bay, where Carnival events have been traditionally held for generations.

has a message that is believable and will resonate with all voters.”

In addition to Essex County, Lazio has also gained the endorsement of Republicans in St. Lawrence and Herkimer Counties. Conservative party chairs in Warren, Washington and Franklin Counties are among many who have endorsed Lazio, as has the state Conservative Party.

Levy, a long-time Democrat in the State Assembly, received the backing of State Republican Party Chairman Ed Cox March 19 and switched parties shortly thereafter. He has since sought to gain enough support from GOP delegates to run in a Republican primary.

Franklin County Republican Chairman Jim Ellis, a Levy supporter, organized his recent three-day trip through the North Country where Levy met with business leaders and spoke at a rally of the Upstate New York TEA Party in Plattsburgh April 15. There, Levy laid out his plan as governor, which includes instituting a spending cap at the state level, a property tax cap for local governments, and a plan to waive capital gains taxes as an incentive for businesses locating in upstate New York.

“The pundits know that people are fed up, they’re scared, they’re angry, and there’s one thing they care about this election: who has the skill set and who has the plan to save this state from bankruptcy,” said Levy.

Residents tell legislators that Adirondack towns need jobs, industry thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — During a forum held by area state legislators to focus on Adirondack issues, Dave Scranton of Inlet stood up in a crowded auditorium and talked of how jobs, commerce and industry were becoming scarce across the region.

“For Adirondack communities, it’s about survival,” he said, blaming the state for obstructing development by acquiring land for wilderness. “We’re getting squeezed out here.”

As Scranton was blaming the Adirondack Park Agency for over-zealous regulation, forum moderator Bill Farber of the town of Morehouse yanked the microphone from Scranton’s hands.

“We’re keeping things positive,” Farber said, noting he didn’t necessarily disagree with the comments, but the meeting was intended to air only constructive ideas.

While Scranton’s complaints were cut short, the first public forum of the Adirondack Caucus — a group of state legislators representing the region — heard a mixture of both complaints and initiatives for improving life in the Adirondacks from the 100 or so who attended the two-hour event April 14.

Whether it was boosting incentives for business development, consolidating public school administrations or spurring cooperation between communities, people from all over the Adirondacks offered their ideas.

Good jobs, affordable housing are crucial Many of those speaking out did get their criticisms aired, however, as they offered suggestions.

Julie Berry of Indian Lake said she had to work two to three jobs to make a living as a health aide to sustain her household.

“I can’t work more than 24/7,” she said. “I’d like to see more long-term health care services in place.”

She suggested that more long-term health care facilities be established, and for more nursing career educational courses to be available for Adirondack Park residents.

Jeremy Burch of Chestertown, 20, a SUNY Adirondack Forestry student, said that employment was scarce, and a large number of Adirondackers were forced to commute long distances for their jobs.

“Tax cuts and incentives for small businesses would be amazing, go for it,” he said, referring to a Adirondack economic development zone proposed by the Adirondack Caucus legislators. “There are no really good-paying jobs here.”

Holding his seven-month-old son, Jim Kearney of Brant Lake said Adirondack communities desperately needed not only decent jobs and wages, but affordable housing.

“My family can’t afford life in the Adirondacks,” he said, noting that others in his generation couldn’t afford to make a reasonable living here. “We need affordable housing programs — not a handout, but a helping hand to get into a house.”

The testimony of Berry, Burch and Kearney was underscored by a presentation that launched the forum.

Report details problems in Adirondacks

Forester: timber industry needs legislative boost Jim Cappelliano, a forester, also disagreed with Duvall’s assertion that the Adirondacks’ economic decline was shared by rural America. He said park agency restrictions were hampering the economy, as state land acquisition meant a lot of timber was now off-limits for harvesting.

“We’re operating with one hand shackled behind our backs,” he said.

Kevin Bartlett, a paper mill worker from Ticonderoga, echoed the point.

“Paper mills are the last bastion of good-paying work for high school graduates,” he said. ”Regulations are being rammed down our throats, and bureaucracies hamstring us,” he said.

Carol Gregson, 83, of Olmstedville also said that development of the lumber and timber business made sense.

“Lumbering is natural and sustainable,” she said.

Residents: cut bureaucracy, taxes Kathie Ferullo of Warrensburg told the legislators hosting the meeting that high taxes were a primary cause of the migration of youth.

“You have to really work on property taxes and make sure young people can stay here,” she said.

Mark Hall, supervisor of the Town of Fine (St. Lawrence County) said state legislative support was needed for boosting industry. He cited the success of reviving a paper mill that had closed down. Now it employs 120 people, although decades ago it hosted 400 to 500 workers, he said.

But more help is needed from legislators to create or retain vital jobs, he said. A former industrial site in his town, now contaminated, needs to be cleaned up with the help of the state so a proposed biomass plant with 100 or so jobs can be built, he said.

“The system at this point doesn’t allow us to have the site cleaned up and bring in jobs,” he said, citing 30 years of bureaucratic delay in holding up development. “We have to make processes workable.”

A firefighter from Providence said with the young people moving out of the Adirondacks, it was difficult to staff fire companies and ambulance squads to protect the lives and property of residents.

“People are building big fancy homes, and we need to have funds so we can protect them,” he said, suggesting the legislators boost aid for emergency response agencies and subsidies for volunteers.

Others focused entirely on constructive ideas.

Laurie Arnheiter, proprietor of Hudson River Trading Co, a shop in North Creek, suggested that all part-year Adirondack residents declare their Adirondack home as their primary residence and register to vote here.

Not only could it substantially boost federal aid to the Adirondacks, but it would boost legislative influence in Albany, she said.

“This is one way we can have a bigger impact,” she said.

Naj Wikoff of Keene Valley said that many creative people were drawn to live in the Adirondacks, and that opportunities in continuing education should be expanded both to meet their needs, and provide more jobs.

“The creative economy is one of the fastest growing sectors,” he said. “Education and the arts are opportunities for growth.”

School district reform cited Also, he suggested consolidating school district administrations, as the administrative cost per pupil was exorbitant in Adirondack public schools.

Tom Williams of Hudson said the legislators should develop an educational plan.

Scott Johnson of Lake George, who migrated from Willsboro for more economic opportunity, said that business proprietors and chambers of commerce should “think globally” and work together to market their offerings rather than be territorial or competitive. He operates several businesses in marketing.

“Business owners have to think of the bigger perspective,” he said, noting that businesses should aim to stay open yearround to boost local economies.

Legislators seeking to gain influence Assemblywomen Teresa Sayward (R-Willsboro) and Janet Duprey (R-Peru) and state Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury jointly hosted the forum as an outgrowth of their legislative Adirondack Caucus, which is a coalition of lawmakers representing the Adirondacks.

They reported Monday they were seeking to expand their group to include legislators who own second home in the Adirondacks, or are sympathetic to the issues of its residents.

One objective the three cited was their effort to establish an Adirondack economic zone, a targeted zone for development separate from the state's Empire Zone program, which is set to end soon.

The zone could feature special loans, grants, tax credits and other incentives to boost the economy and create jobs, they said.

Sayward said the meeting was constructive.

“Everyone is tired of the same old gripe session,” she said.

“We know many people are holding down two and three jobs and need help. We heard a lot of good ideas, now we're all going to roll up our sleeves and get to work.”

Farber, Chairman of the Hamilton County Board of Supervisors — and Fred Monroe of Chestertown, Farber ’s counterpart in Warren County— both said the meeting was constructive.

“Some excellent concepts were raised,” Monroe said. “It seems like everyone is pulling in the right direction.”

Municipal planner Jim Martin and Brad Dake, both of Saratoga Springs, presented a summary of the Adirondack Regional Assessment Project, which recently revealed that youth are fleeing the Adirondacks for greater opportunity elsewhere, school enrollment is sinking fast, and Adirondackers are saddled with low prevailing wages, limited job opportunities and expensive housing.

The study results also indicate that Adirondack residents are relatively poor, aging and undereducated, and that jobs are primarily provided by schools and municipalities. In addition, detailed maps devised in the Assessment Project showed that more land than ever was under strict state control — and that

the job and income problems were most severe in the core areas of the Adirondacks.

Lorraine Duvall of Keene, however, said she was concerned that the project data might be used improperly to curb preservationist efforts, because the problems detailed were shared by most all rural U.S. communities.

“Let’s not blame this on the Adirondack Park,” she said.

“Let’s remember as we talk economic development, that the best thing we have to sell is the environment.”

But Neil McGovern of Lake Pleasant disagreed, noting that the project’s map and data showed that merely 0.4 percent of the land in the Adirondacks is reserved for hamlets where it can be developed with minimal restriction.

“The report lays it out in spades,” he said. “It’s our peril if we don’t take action.”

A prevailing lack of economic opportunity is driving out people in their 20s, 30s and 40s, McGovern said, and it is leading to the erosion of community life.

“We should be scared to death,” he said.

Prom and graduation: a dangerous season for youth

A

survey conducted in 2009 was commissioned by Liberty Mutual Insurance Company. The survey was administered to thousands of 11th and twelfth graders. The results confirm some of the worst fears that many parents are thinking about as the Prom and graduation season is on the horizon.

Over 90 percent acknowledged that they and their

By Scot Hurlburt peers will drink and drive on Prom night and 79 percent will drink and drive on graduation night. The survey revealed another ominous fact: Only 25 percent of youth believe that drinking and driving on Prom or Graduation night will place them at high risk.

When driver distractions, texting, cell phone use and other youth in the vehicle are factored into the risk calculus, parents have good reason to be concerned.

According to the National Highway and Traffic safety Administration, more than one third of alcohol related deaths among drivers under the age of 21, died in the months of April, May and June: Prom and graduation season.

The survey also revealed a major “perception disconnect” between parents and their children. Nationally, 75 percent of parents say that they have talked to their children about the dangers of drinking and driving while only 25 percent of youth say that their parents have talked to them about the issue.

One of the most disturbing outcomes of the survey was that 52 percent of the survey respondents reported that they got their Prom and Graduation party alcohol from their parents or friends’ parents.

Parents who host or ignore alcohol parties for youth during Prom and Graduation are exposing the attending youth to a life altering or potentially life ending risk. While we cannot totally stop youth from underage drinking behaviors and subsequently getting behind the wheel of a car, we can do better.

When over 50 percent of youth report that they get their alcohol from adults, the issue is no longer about underage drinkers but rather incredibly misguided and irresponsible adults. These are the adults that let young people get drunk at their homes and say that it is OK because, “we have their keys.” They often have a a second set that you don’t know about. Driving cars are not the only danger, either. Every year during the Prom/Graduation season, young people are drowned, burned, sexually assaulted and suffer many other life altering events.

If you are a young person, enjoy the Prom or your Graduation this year. Make good decisions for yourself, even if the adults around you do not. Don’t get drunk on Prom or Graduation night; if you don’t, you will have some nice memories to look back on. More importantly, if you do not get drunk on Prom or Graduation night, your chances of being alive and uninjured will increase exponentially. You will still be here to have a life, to live your dream and you will live on so, when you become a parent, you can keep your children safe during Prom and Graduation season. Remember, all kids count.

The Valley News will include news from Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, Tupper Lake and points in between alongside stories from its current territory: Elizabethtown, Westport, Willsboro, Keeseville, Au Sable Forks, Keene, and Wilmington. This way, readers from all these communities will get stories from across the whole of northern Essex County, southern Franklin County, and beyond.

Another big change you’ll likely notice will be the layout. Instead of a compact, double-fold newspaper, The Valley News will henceforth be printed as a single-fold 12-by11-inch “short tab.” The new format will allow for articles to be more prominently displayed on each page, and, hopefully, easier to read as well.

Photos and design elements, especially on the cover, will be noticeably improved with the goal of creating images that are more pleasing to the eye and allowing the talent of our design staff to shine through.

Though all these changes will be realized next week, one

thing that won’t be changing is our commitment to quality, community-oriented news. We will continue to feature local arts and entertainment, fundraiser events, political news, feature stories, local columns, letters to the editor, sports, and, of course, our regional calenBy Matt Bosley dar.

The big difference, of course, will be that those stories will now reach a much wider audience – nearly 20,000 – double the number of homes as before. If you have an idea for a story or an announcement for a community event, it’s now even more important for you to share that with us.

Personally, I’m excited about the changes and look forward to the possibilities that the new design and the merging of these two papers will bring. I hope you, the reader, will share your feedback with us in the coming weeks, along with any suggestions you have for things you would like to see represented in your free, weekly newspaper.

Pea planting season W

ith the warm spring weather we have been enjoying, many vegetable gardeners are eager to get their gardens planted. The temperatures have been so warm it is tempting to plant vegetables that require warm weather to thrive, but we shouldn’t forget here in the North Country, we will most likely experience several more frosty nights!

That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be out working in our veggie patches. Now is the time to plant one of my husband’s favorite vegetables — the pea. The pea, or Pisum sativum, is thought to have originated in Middle Asia and the central plateau of Ethiopia. By the Bronze Age (c. 3,000 B.C.) they were used by the inhabitants of Central Europe, were used by the Greeks and Romans, and were even mentioned in England after the Norman conquest. It is now a popular vegetable all over the world.

This legume can be planted as soon as the soil temperature reaches 50 degrees F and the plants grow best at temperatures of 55 to 64 degrees F. This plant does not thrive in the heat of the summer. But it can be replanted for a fall crop.

Peas grow best in slightly acidic, well-drained soils.

There are many different varieties of the garden pea. With shell peas, the seeds are allowed to fully ripen, removed from the pod, and eaten. Snow peas and snap peas are eaten whole when the pod has reached maturity but prior to

the seeds reaching maturity.

Vining cultivars can climb almost 6 feet high by curling their tendrils around any available support. Metal fences, twine, or netting supported by a frame can be used for a pea trellis. Traditionally a structure known as a pea brush was used, which is simply pruned tree branches thrust upright into the soil.

There are several newer varieties that are low-growing and do not require a trellis.

I have many found childhood memories shelling and eating these sweet, nutritious veggies with my grandparents who grew a prolific amount of peas each spring. Now my husband and I share the joy trying to guess the number of peas each shell will contain as we shuck fresh garden peas with our children on our back patio.

The Final Frontier A

Whatever the reasons, I jumped at any chance to pretend I was battling the forces of evil in a different, much more violent, place and time than the Adirondacks of my youth. And where might a kid in the Adirondacks of my youth find a place all but devoted to pretending to battle the forces of evil in a different, much more violent, place and time? Where else but the nowdefunct Frontier Town?

By Dan Leonidas If you’ve never heard of Frontier Town (which would make you a first-class philistine), it was an Old-West themed amusement park in North Hudson. One sweltering day circa July of 1991, I found myself there with my mom, her friend Peggy, and Peggy’s son Robbie (who, at four years my junior, served as the “Sidekick” to my “Chuck Norris”).

I remember little about our day on the Frontier, but I’ve attempted to reconstruct the relevant parts by conducting extensive interviews and poring over the photographic record – and it turns out the only relevant part, as far as I’m concerned (and I’m only concerned as far as amusing anecdotes about myself go), was the tail end of our visit, when the “sheriff” of Frontier Town asked if any children wanted to “volunteer” for the “cavalry.”

Fully immersed as I was in the Old-West milieu, I donned the Civil-War style cap my mom had bought me in the gift shop and marched into the town square with a handful of other kids. When the “sheriff” asked us to put our hands over our hearts so he could officially “induct” us into the “cavalry,” it was all I could do to keep a grin from breaking the stoic set of my jaw. My violent fantasies hardly ever got this realistic!

The only thing that bothered me was that several of my fellow volunteers had inexplicably begun weeping. Looking back, I see that, unlike me, they believed (if only briefly) that they were actually preparing to ship off to battle. Whereas I was “pursuing make-believe,” they were “suffering debilitating hallucinations” – their just deserts, I say, for wasting so much time climbing trees, riding bikes, and trotting.

s a child, I had little love for the kinds of activities out-of-touch old folks expect children to enjoy. Climbing trees? I found heights distasteful.

Riding bikes? Moving at high speeds – anything faster than a trot – gave me a headache. Trotting? The idea of breaking out in a sweat made me break out in a sweat.

I did, however, manage to live up to one of my elders’ stodgy expectations. To put it in the kind of terms out-oftouch old folks enjoy, I got a kick out of “journeying to the magical and mysterious realm of my imagination.” To put it in terms less likely to induce cringing, I liked to pretend I was someone else doing something much more interesting than I myself ever did.

For instance, while climbing a flight of stairs, I’d imagine I was ascending a treacherous Himalayan mountain. To add the right shade of realism to the fantasy, I’d carry a backpack stuffed to bursting with supplies and stop every two or three steps to set up camp. Indeed, I often spent as many as four weeks trekking from the living room to my bedroom. Sure, I have a few questions about why my parents let me miss so much school – I didn’t finish the fifth grade until I was 20 – but I’m glad they encouraged my extreme devotion to the pursuit of make-believe.

Why? Because whether you call it “pursuing make-believe” or “suffering debilitating hallucinations,” learning how to go elsewhere in your mind to escape the chaos and meaninglessness of everyday life is the first step down the path to happiness. Also, if most of your debilitating hallucinations involve battling low-lifes with Chuck Norris – and we regard the critically despised 1992 film “Sidekicks,” starring Chuck Norris, as a nonfiction documentary – you might someday get the chance to battle low-lifes with Chuck Norris in reality.

Unfortunately for my younger self, I hardly ever imagined hanging out with Chuck Norris. I did, however, spend a lot of time imagining that I lived in different, much more violent, places and times: the Thirteen Colonies during the Revolutionary War, perhaps, or a hostile alien star system during the 35th century’s Second Interstellar Conflict.

I blame my fascination with violence on children’s television – in particular, the “Sesame Street” episodes where Bert suffers terrifying yet enthralling Vietnam flashbacks – and Risk, the irresponsible board game that encourages players to aspire to world domination.

Paul Smith’s College hosts pathogens lecture

Tupper Revitalization Committee to meet

PAUL SMITHS — Humans have made huge advances in combating agents that cause infectious disease – but, as recent outbreaks of SARS, West Nile Virus and the H1N1 flu demonstrate, many challenges remain.

Dr. David Woodland, president and director of the Trudeau Institute in Saranac Lake, will discuss the relationship between humans and disease-causing microbes when he appears on campus Friday, April 30.

His talk, “Infectious Diseases Today: Are the Microbes Winning?”, is free and open to the public. He will speak from 10–11 a.m. in Freer Auditorium.

Woodland’s talk will include special emphasis on newly emerging pathogens, which scientists at the Trudeau Institute are striving to understand. Trudeau, established in 1884 as a tuberculosis sanitarium, is today a biomedical research center whose scientists are leading the effort to understand respiratory virus infections and develop novel vaccine strategies.

Woodland, who has published more than 150 articles in basic science journals, is regularly invited to present data at national and international meetings, and serves on federal committees that prioritize research applications for funding.

TUPPER LAKE — The Tupper Lake Revitalization Committee, a partnership of municipal officials, business owners, residents, and community groups dedicated to advancing the community’s economic goals, has been meeting regularly over the past months. The group has identified business retention and development as key priorities for 2010.

As a first step, the Revitalization Committee will be sponsoring a Business Resource Expo at the Wild Center at 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 6. The purpose of the gathering is to provide information about business assistance resources in the region to existing businesses and to individuals who may be considering starting a business.

Regional economic development agencies, sugh sas the Adirondack Economic Development Corporation, the Small Business Development Center, and the Franklin County IDA, along with the Tupper Lakc Chamber of Commerce and representatives from local government, will discuss their programs and the help they can provide to current and potential businesses. Information will also be available on Tupper Lake’s microenterprise and Junction Main Street grant programs and other local programs that can benefit established and prospective businesses.

The event is free and all are welcome to attend. The evening will open with each business assistance agency providing a brief summary of their programs, followed by time in the Great Hall for individuals to consult directly with the agencies and ask specific questions.

Light refreshments will be served. For more information, or to RSVP, call the Town of Tupper Lake office at 359-3981 or Mary Casagrain at the Village of Tupper Lake office at 3593341.

said, as counties and towns can be held liable for an accident if the signs are not in compliance with federal and state regulations.

Jay Supervisor and Board of Supervisors Chair Randy Douglas called the new regulations “another unfunded mandate that we can’t afford in Essex County.”

“Our hands are tied,” he added. “If we don’t comply, we could end up paying more in a lawsuit than we would for the signs themselves.”

Westport Supervisor Dan Connell moved for a resolution to request an exemption from the regulations, which was passed unanimously by the committee.

Newcomb Supervisor George Canon likened the issue to a recent dispute arising from a FHWA initiative to bring the yellow-onbrown Adirondack signs into compliance with a white-on-brown standard used in other parks. Many local organizations and agencies opposed the change.

“We fought them and were able to retain our brown and yellow,” Canon said.

Lavigne said he has been talking to highway superitendents in other nearby counties and towns, and hopes to spur widespread opposition to the new regulations.

“I do think it’s going to get more vocal in the next few weeks as the word gets out,” he said.

agency State Land Committee and he closed the meeting by summing up what he was hearing from his peers.

“There is sentiment to allow these towers to remain in some fashion,” Townsend said. “There are procedural steps to accomplish that.”

But several commissioners, including Booth, Ulrich and Cecil Wray, were wary of placing the maintenance costs of the towers on the shoulders of the taxpayers. They indicated that saving the towers is likely contingent on the friends groups associated with the towers legally committing to funding the project.

“What are we assuming goes on if we legitimize the towers being there and a corollary concern – who is paying for it?” Wray said.

Review Board Executive Director Fred Monroe said that like a cemetery, it is possible to create a dedicated maintenance fund for each of the towers.

Both towers have “friends” organizations that have verbally pledged to fund their upkeep. The Friends of the Bald Mountain Fire Tower has adopted the structure and covers all of the costs of keeping it open to the public.

The SLMP states the purpose of Wilderness is to provide an experience unadulterated by signs of human activity.

Like DEC, APA staff concluded that there were few legally clean courses of action other than tearing down and relocating the towers.

But APA Deputy Director of Planning Jim Connelly stressed staff is limited to the requirements of the SLMP and not looking to pick fights with the local citizenry.

“We are fully aware of the historic value of the fire tower in the Adirondacks,” Connelly said. “It’s our job to make recommendations based on the State Land Master Plan.”

Staff will present their legal and cost analysis next month.

4-H teams up with DEC’s Grannis: we’re greener now Adk Green Circle than in 1970, but more work remains LAKE PLACID — The Franklin County Cornell Cooperative Extension 4-H Program and the Adirondack Green Circle's Lost Arts program will be teaming up in the coming months to bring a a series of workshops entitled “Truly Wild” to the surrounding community.

This program is a series of five workshops that begin on May 2 and will continue through the summer months into September.

For those who love to hike, learn and explore, the "Truly Wild" workshop take participants deeper into the world they thought they knew. Learn how to survive on what grows on a lawn, in a field, near a stream or in the Adirondack forest.

Learn the history, use and sustainability of Adirondack local “wild” plants, trees and weeds.

This 5 part series, taught by Pat Banker, 4-H Living History Instructor will help youth and their adult chaperones learn how to recognize and prepare many types of wild edibles, experience green history in a hands-on environment and construct their own Field Guide as they go along. Gail Brill and Cris Winters, two artists in the Green Circle will help the children construct their own field guide to the plants discovered during the workshops.

The first workshop is May 2, 2 p.m. at Heaven Hill Farm, Bear Cub Road in Lake Placid. The dates of the subsequent workshops are June 29th, July 20th, August 24th and September 22nd. Locations for those workshops are to be determined.

The workshops are open to adults only if they bring a child between the ages of 9-18. It is part of the Lost Arts and 4-H philosophy that these life sustaining skills be passed on to future generations.

There will be a $3 registration fee for insurance and registration in the 4-H Program. Space is limited. Pre-register by calling Pat Banker at 327-3457.

LPI sponsors Open Mic for authors, poets LAKE PLACID — The Lake Placid Institute will host an Open Mic in The Cabin of The Northwoods Inn on Main Street in Lake Placid April 24, 8-11 p.m., part of the Adirondack Non-Profit Network’s and North Country Public Radio’s “Celebrating the Good Works” series highlighting the good works of nonprofits in the Adirondacks.

Special guests will include author and poet Paul Pines and St. Lawrence University professor and poet Theo Hummer. All local authors, poets, and aspiring authors and poets are welcome to attend.

LAKE GEORGE — Focusing on environmental improvements both in the Adirondacks and statewide, the state’s top environmental officer joined officials from several area green groups in observing the 40th anniversary of Earth Day Monday with a press conference held atop Prospect Mountain.

Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Pete Grannis cited improved wastewater treatment, a rebound in wildlife, cleaner waterways and reduced acid rain levels, and closed landfills as achievements over the past four decades.

"Forty years ago, the Adirondacks were environmentally threatened because of acid rain, poorly located and outdated landfills, substandard wastewater treatment facilities and potential fragmentation of large timber tracts," Grannis said. "Since then, we've made impressive gains — our mission is certainly not accomplished — but this anniversary gives New Yorkers a chance to take stock of how far we've come."

Grannis, who helped organize the first Earth Day in New York City in 1970, is now touring sites around the state that exemplify the environmental progress New York has made over the past 40 years, DEC Spokesman Yancy Roy said.

Grannis said that 28 of the 48 lakes in the Adirondack monitored for acid rain have shown substantial declines in acidity, and all of them show reductions in sulfate and nitrate.

Also, the number of fish species has increased from three to four, he said.

He also noted that moose, Bald Eagles, Peregrine falcons, ravens and ospreys have established themselves in the North Country after long absences. Beaver, otter and fisher populations have flourished to the point that there are now trapping seasons have been resumed. Wild turkey populations have also multiplied, enabling a hunting season.

Grannis noted that over the 40 years, 82 unlined landfills have been closed in DEC's Region 5, which encompasses Warren, Essex, Hamilton, Washington, Saratoga, Franklin, Clinton and Fulton counties.

Since 1970, he said, more than 700,000 acres of Adirondack lands have been protected under conservation easements.

The vast majority of this acreage, he said, represents working forests where logging activity continues. Easements also provide public recreational opportunities on lands and waters previously closed to the public, he said.

Adirondack heritage-strain brook trout and round whitefish have been restored to more than 50 ponds, he noted.

Strides in environmental education — for both children and adults — have also been achieved, he said.

Since 1990, “Summit Stewards” have worked the Adirondack High Peaks, educating visitors about the rare alpine ecosystem that is found on only 16 of the highest peaks in the state.

Grannis said it was important to raise environmental awareness in youth — and prompting their interest in the outdoors has been an important objective for DEC. More than 100,000 children have participated in the Junior Naturalist Program during its 14-year history at DEC campgrounds, he said, and hundreds annually attend DEC environmental education camps.

Grannis also cited the substantial reduction of pollution in the Hudson River. The number of waterways classified as severely damaged by pollution have declined 88 percent, he said.

The commissioner noted other examples of environmental progress in the state including the cleanup of nearly 1,800 polluted sites.

Grannis also cited the comeback of Bald Eagles and Peregrine Falcons, severely threatened decades ago, but now enjoying record-high populations.

Grannis was joined by Fund for Lake George Executive Director Peter Bauer, Lake George Association Director Walter Lender, Adirondack Council President Brian Houseal and Open Space Institute President Joseph Martens — all of whom offered their views on achievements in cleaning up and protecting the environment.

Grannis said efforts must continue in protecting the environment, noting particularly his concerns over greenhouse gases and global warming. He said that as a member of the state’s Climate Action Council, he and others will be planning how to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in New York State by 80 percent as of 2050.

"There is plenty of work to do across the state and many new issues to address — from climate change to invasive species," he said. "If we are to continue making progress, we'll need the same amount of passion and dedication as those first Earth Day marchers had — It's time to re-dedicate ourselves to taking the next step."
