ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ It may soon cost more to register an automobile in Essex County.

Members of the Essex County Finance Committee voted to draft a local law that would require residents of the county to pay a Highway Reuse Tax of $5 per year for passenger vehicles and $10 for commercial vehicles.

Finance Committee chairman Tom Scozzafava said the idea had been discussed during budget subcommittee meetings and with Essex County Clerk Joe Provoncha, with estimates earning the county between $200,000 and $300,000 in increased annual revenue.

Scozzafava said that the revenue would be used specifically for infrastructure. Ò This additional money will be used solely for highway and bridges,Ó he said. Ò The idea is to keep this additional

State transportation officials listen to supervisors’ concerns

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ The regional director of the state Department of Transportation put himself on the hot seat in front of members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors June 17.

Sam Zhou, Region 1 director, asked members of the Finance Committee for their concerns, as he was joined by Regional Program Manager Frank Bonafide and Essex County Resident Engineer Steve Clinton. Ò We are not going to come here and promise everybody something because there are always going to be more needs than the resources that we have,Ó Zhou said. Ò One of the major shifts is that we are into the preservation mode. The vast majority of our capital dollars are going into preserving the current system.Ó Ò Our current goal is to keep the current system in operating condition and safe to traffic,” Bonafide said. “Where is the traffic and where do we serve the most taxpayers is the driving issue.

In the last couple years, we have dealt with Route 86 and 22 in Willsboro. We are going to try and deal with Route 73, but you have to keep in mind that there is just not enough funds and

Valley News Editorial

Graduation advice from the staff here at Denton Publications

From reporter Katherine Clark: Ò Right now is a time of endless possibilities. Which can seem liberating or crushing. Looking back it is hard to imagine that my classmates and I at 18 and younger were capable of making the decisions that determined the course of our entire lives. Our lives went in different directions based on the colleges we attended, the majors we picked and changed or the jobs we were hired into.

At the time that I graduated high school I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life but I really had no idea how I would get there. Everyone told me journalism is a dying field that will have little to no jobs by the time I graduated. The fact that I was able to start writing professionally within a year of graduating college and stay within the Adirondack Park still amazes me.

My best advice to graduating seniors is to keep your mentors close, stay true to your passions, choose friends who will be a true support to your goals in life and career and not an anchor against the current of your success, and be open to taking paths you might not have planned to take.Ó From Assistant Managing Editor Andy Flynn: Ò Do what you love. ItÕ s not always easy in this world, with bills and the need for health insurance. Sometimes a higher-paying job can take you on a side trip of sorts, but always strive for finding that happy place. Life is too short.Ó From Valley News Editor Keith Lobdell: Ò I am going to take a pair of statements I have heard from the former NFL player, coach and current football analyst Herm Edwards. The first is, ‘nothing good EVER happens after 2 a.m.’ Be young, have fun, but know your limitations. The second is, ‘don’t press send!’ Think before you blog, tweet, post, message, whatever. Once you press send, you can hit delete as quickly as possible, but what you just sent is out there forever. Make sure that nothing in your youth ever comes back to haunt you in the real world.Ó From Publisher Dan Alexander: Ò Many attitudes regarding careers and work-life expectations have changed since I left high school in the early 1970s, but if I had one piece of advice to offer it would be this. Dedication to the job youÕ ve accepted and recognizing the job is not about you itÕ s about the goals of the organization you work for. By putting your organization first you’ll never have to worry about career advancements, your talents will be sought out by others as recognition of your efforts. No task is too small to put your name on and a positive giving attitude will still take you farther then a self centered ‘What’s-in-it-for-me’ approach ever will.”

From Times of Ti Editor Fred Herbst: Ò Graduates, thereÕ s bad news and good news on your commencement.

The bad news is you are no where near as special, talented or gifted as people are telling you today. In fact, you Ñ like the rest of us Ñ are pretty ordinary.

The goods news is that ordinary people accomplish extraordinary things every day. They raise families. They build communities. They educate others. They defend our country. The list of extraordinary accomplishments by ordinary people is endless. They do it through hard work, sacrifice and commitment. No less is expected of you.”

From Managing Editor John Gereau: Ò One of the best graduation speeches I have had the privilege of hearing was delivered in 2012 by actor Salman Kahn to the graduating class at MIT. In summary, Kahn told the graduates to live life like it was their second time through it Ñ like a genie magically appeared before them at age 70 and allowed them to travel back to age 18 and do it all over again, affording the opportunity to change the parts they later regretted.

As you travel along the rocky road of life, keep that advice in mind. How would you treat those you love and what life altering decisions would you make if it were your second chance to do so?

Lastly, treat your parents and your knees kindly. You will miss them both when they are gone.Ó

Ò Everyone that goes in and registers a vehicle will give everyone a chance to pay their fair share and not being doing more or less based on property tax,Ó he said. Ò This is what we should have been doing a long time ago where you take stuff off the tax rolls that can be done through fees.

It may be a new tax, but it is going to help you on the flip side.”

The resolution to draft the local law for the fee passed 7-1, with Newcomb Supervisor George Canon absent and Westport

Supervisor Dan Connell casting the lone dissenting vote. Ò I think that this is the third time that this has been brought up,Ó Connell said. Ò The folks that are in my community have been dead set against this and I will vote no. It is another tax as far as they are concerned.Ó Manning said that once the local law goes through the necessary political channels, a public hearing would be held, most likely prior to the Sept. 3 regular board meeting. Ò This will most likely be ready to go to public hearing in September,Ó he said.

Continued from page 1 Ò We are pleased to have the opportunity to be in the Keeseville area,Ó St. JosephÕ s CEO Bob Ross said. Ò We want to be able to support those who need the services while not having them travel any farther than they need to, which will help them make a bigger commitment to success as they pursue their recovery.Ó Ò This really is in perfect keeping with the priorities that we have as a county with our local services plan,Ó Essex County Mental Health Director Steve LaValley said. Ò This is a chance to bring the services to the people and make them more accessible, which is a great thing for all of us.Ó Ross said that St. JosephÕ s was helped by the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) in opening and operating the new facility. Ò When you are dealing with a rural area like this, 10 to 15 miles can be a major hurdle for someone who may have lost their drivers license or cannot transport themselves,Ó OASAS Project Manager Dominic Commisso said. Ò This meets the need to centralize treatment and it gives Essex County a good blanket for the services.Ó

Koch, a film by Neil Barsky about Former Mayor Ed Koch, the quintessential New Yorker.

Koch, is an intimate and revealing portrait of this intensely private man, his legacy as a political titan, and the town he helped transform.

Running, cycling event Christoff’s ‘Miracle’ coming to Lake Placid memorabilia on LAKE PLACID Ñ Trail runners and off-road cyclists are invited to participate in the inaugural ADK 80K, an eight-ofa-kind endurance racing event to be held in Lake Placid on Labor Day Weekend, Aug. 31 through Sept. 1.

The races cover 80 kilometers (80k) in distance, in a figure eight design; feature $8,000 in prizes in eight categories with an 8 a.m. start time.

The weekend consists of two separate events, both taking place on the Mount Van Hoevenberg trail system used in the 1980 Olympic Winter Games biathlon and cross country ski races, and now celebrating 20 years as the home base of High Peak Mountain Bike Center.

The ADK 80K begins with a trail running race on Saturday, followed by SundayÕ s mountain bike race with a cyclocross division. Both races include four 20 kilometer loops in a figure eight design with aid stations every 5k, each returning to the family-friendly race village twice, complete with food, refreshments and live music. The festive weekend also includes a mini-trail run on Saturday and mountain bike race on Sunday for kids beginning at 4 p.m. Both mini-races cover a distance of eight kilometers, with four loops of two kilometers each.

The ADK 80K is organized by the experienced team from High Peaks Cyclery and Downhill Mike of the Whiteface Mountain Bike Park. Ò ItÕ s great to utilize the outstanding trail system at Mount Van Hoevenberg for a summer event of this sort,Ó said Brian Delaney, president/owner of High Peaks Cyclery, now celebrating 30 years of business in Lake Placid. Ò Downhill Mike and I have been dreaming of this event since the popular 24hour team mountain bike endurance race was discontinued years ago, and we look forward to welcoming hundreds of athletes of all levels to join in on this inaugural weekend.Ó Trail runners and cyclists can race solo, two-person or four-person teams. Cyclists can ride mountain bikes or cyclocross bikes. The first 80 registrants receive free t-shirts, and the top three winners in each category will win commemorative Adirondack-themed awards as well as winnersÕ jerseys or performance running t-shirts. Logo goods will be available for purchase in advance at High Peaks Cyclery in Lake Placid and on site at the event.

Registration is $80 per person, and is now open and information is online at highpeakscyclery.com, or call Brian with questions at 523-3764. Onsite registration will be available at 6 a.m. both days of the event.

display in Lake Placid LAKE PLACID Ñ The Lake Placid Olympic Museum will be unveiling a new exhibition of the Olympic jersey from one of the heroes of the 1980 U.S. Ò Miracle On IceÓ hockey team, Steve Christoff.

During the 1980 Olympic Games, Christoff played in all seven tournament games; scoring two goals and one assist.

As a member of the U.S. national hockey team, he scored 34 goals and 64 points in as many games.

Before joining the 1980 Olympic squad, Christoff, who was raised in Richfield, Minn., was selected 24th overall in the NHLÕ s 1978 entry draft by Minnesota. Following the Games, the center joined the North Stars for the final 20 games of the NHL season and contributed eight goals and seven assists.

Christoff spent four seasons in the league. Although he was one of the North Star Õ s most popular players, the team traded him to the Calgary Flames in 1982 where he scored nine goals in 45 games. The Flames dealt him to the Los Angeles Kings the following season, where he finished out his professional hockey career. He played in 248 games, scoring 77 goals and 141 points.

Today, the 55 year-old Christoff works as a pilot and he was chosen to be one of the 50 greatest players in the University of Minnesota hockey history. As a Golden Gopher, from 1976-‘79, he helped to lead the team to the 1979 NCAA national championship crown.

On loan from Mr. Todd Patkin, ChristoffÕ s Olympic gold medal and jersey are a worthy addition to the museumÕ s already extensive collection of artifacts from the 1980 U.S. Hockey Team, which include among other items, the handmade bullwhip presented by the players to Herb Brooks and made famous in the Disney film Ò Miracle.Ó The Lake Placid Olympic Museum is open seven days a week, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Regular admission price is $7 for adults, $5 for seniors, students and juniors (12 and under), and free for children six and under. Admission to the museum is also included in the purchase of the Olympic Sites Passport and Gold Pass.

Cogburn wins Wilmington Whiteface 100K bike race WILMINGTON Ñ Cameron Cogburn (Ashville, N.C.) has vacationed in the Adirondack region and heÕ s even won two road cycling races up Whiteface Mountain, but this was the first time he tried mountain biking.

The MIT grad student looked just as comfortable on a mountain bike as he does on a road cycle when he raced away to a first place finish during Sunday’s, June 16, third annual Wilmington Whiteface 100K (WW100).

Cogburn and 10 other cyclists spent most of the first half of the race together, before he broke away and completed the 69-mile event and Leadville 100 MTB qualifier (LT100) in four hours, six minutes, 21.20 seconds.

“The course played to my strengths, I got away from the field at about the half-way point, coming through the ‘feed zone.’” said Cogburn. ÒA ll the guys stopped, I didnÕ t have a drop, so I had all of my stuff and I just kept going. I killed it up the hill and tried to hold it from there.Ó Since so many hills make up the course, the WW100 is regarded as one of the toughest Leadville Series qualifying events. Beginning and ending at Whiteface Mountain, cyclists endure jeep and gravel roads and back country trails through Wilmington, Jay, Keene, Lewis and Elizabethtown, as well as climbs that measure more than 750 meters each. All of this before two, three-mile finishing loops and a pair of 350 foot climbs at Whiteface, ahead of the finish line.

Being from Ashville, Cogburn felt right at home on the WW100 hills. ÒI just tried to get away on the big hill coming back,Ó he noted. ÒI lost some time on the single-track sections, so I didnÕ t want to leave it until the very end. I knew that the final hill at Whiteface was steep, but it wasnÕ t long, and I knew that I wanted to build a couple of minutes coming in. So when I came out of the second to last single-track section, I was told I had eight minutes, I knew that I was in good position.Ó Gered Dunne (White River Junction, Vt.) tried to keep up with Cogburn for the first 30-plus miles, but gave up the chase and finished second in 4:11:14.22.

“It’s a ‘roadie’ kind of race, but there are some really nice singletrack sections to spread it out,Ó Dunne remarked. ÒT he downhills are fast and they really make you focus, itÕ s still a mountain bike race in the end, this is great.Ó Dereck Treadwell (Topsham, Maine) rounded out the top three cyclists in the men’s field. Treadwell finished in 4:11:40.96 Six-time LT100 champion David Wiens (Gunnison, Colo.) was also in the lead pack, but he couldnÕ t keep up with the pace set by Cogburn and finished fourth. ÒW ith that group, I got dropped on the steep pavement on the Jay Mountain Road,” added the mud covered Wiens, whose fin-

National youth hockey camp returns LAKE PLACID Ñ Tickets are currently on sale for the 2013 USA Hockey National Junior Evaluation Camp that will take place Aug. 3-10 in Lake Placid, USA Hockey announced today. Team USA will face Canada, Finland and Sweden throughout the week in preparation for the 2014 International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championship, Dec. 26 through Jan. 5 in Malmo, Sweden.

Tickets can be purchased online at WhiteFaceLakePlacid.com, by phone at 523-3330 or in person at the Olympic Center Box Office. A single-day ticket, which include two games, is available to adults for $15, while students (17 & under) and seniors (65 & older) are $10. A full-session pass, which includes 10 games, is $70 for adults and $45 for students and seniors. All games will be played at the Olympic CenterÕ s 1980 Herb Brooks Arena.

ish time was 4:12:43.97. ÒO n all the climbs I could barely hang on and it was Cameron and Billy Demong who were pushing really hard. Then when Cameron went off by himself, nobody wanted any part of that I donÕ t think.Ó Demong (Vermontville) crossed the finish line in eighth place.

The 2010 Olympic Nordic combined gold and silver medalist finished in 4:23:51.22.

Last year, Crystal Anthony (Beverly, Mass.) lost to Rebecca Rusch (Ketchum, Id.) by 19 minutes. Sunday, she beat the fourtime womenÕ s Leadville champion by almost eight minutes. ÒC rystal and I have been racing together for two years now. She had a good race and I had an okay race,” added Rusch, who finished in a time of 4:49:50.46. Anthony was clocked in 4:42:00.71.

“I’m so happy when this women’s field gets stronger, stronger and stronger, it’s good for everybody. Second is not the first loser.”

Rhonda Stickle (Barrie, Ontario) was the womenÕ s third place racer. She crossed the finish line at the base of the Olympic mountain in 5:00:50.73.

One-hundred of SundayÕ s athletes are now making plans to race in the Aug. 10 LT100. Fifty of the LT100 qualifying spots

were awarded based on performance in each division for men and women, and the other 50 were distributed randomly from a pool of all racers, who finished under the maximum cutoff time, which was eight hours. Since the LT100 lottery had already taken place, this was one of only five nationwide Leadville Series qualifying races in which cyclists could still qualify and compete in the LT100.

SundayÕ s WW100 also featured a 50K event. Colin Delaney (Lake Placid) won the menÕ s race in 2:14:55.73, while Caitlin Curran (Burlington, Vt.) topped the women’s field. She completed the event in 2:14:39.64.

Grass fed M

Turtles, turtles everywhere

I

t has been a very wet and truly wild week in the woods, but in between the raindrops there was a lot of fun to be had, and the wildlife has been abundant. Black flies have been brutal, while dragonflies have been busy and turtles have been everywhere, depositing their eggs on sandy shorelines.

For interested parties who may have missed the notice, the Adirondack Park Agency has also been busy hosting meetings to determine land classifications for several parcels of wild lands recently acquired from The Nature Conservancy.

Among the parcels is a vast tract of land near Newcomb that was the longtime home of The Gooley Club, a sportsman’s club of the first order.

There is also a newly purchased tract that holds great promise for providing a safe takeout for paddlers, anglers and others who wish to journey on a comfortable flat water float trip along the remote upper sections of the Hudson River.

There is a possibility the tract will be classified appropriately to allow motorized access to a ‘take out ‘site’ so that paddlers can exit the river just above the wild Hudson River Gorge.

The potential of access to and from the Hudson stillwater may provide a vital increase in usage which would bring more visitors to the small town of Newcomb.

The Hudson River stillwater take out is necessary for casual paddlers who donÕ t car to tackle the heavy waters of the raging Hudson River Gorge.

The Agency has issued a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement on the proposed classification of State lands in Essex and Hamilton Counties. The Agency has proposed seven classification alternatives for these lands. Public comment is invited until July 19, 2013.

The APA has already hosted hearings at their offices in Ray Brook, as well as in Newcomb, Indian Lake and New York City.

The hearings have been well attended, especially with representatives from the various environmental advocacy groups.

However, there has been a noticeable lack of support and input from the sporting community.

I recently spoke with Jason Kemper, Chairman of the NYS Conservation Fund Advisory board who has been attending the APA hearings. Sadly, he has been one of the very few voices advocating for the sporting community.

Kemper wants to get the word out that members of the sporting community need to be represented at the hearing to ensure the new land classifications are able provide and support access for all user groups and remain open and available for hunting and fishing.

If the classification of the new lands eventually do not favor access for sportsmen, snowmobilers lands and other traditional users, the responsibility will be directly on the lack of support and advocacy from these user. The initial APA Hearing in Ray Brook attracted only three representatives from sportsmanÕ s groups. In order to protect the traditional uses, the sporting community must make their voices heard!

The schedule of APA Land Use Classification Hearings will continue on: • June 25 at Indian Lake Central School in Indian Lake, 6 p.m.

• July 1. The Harley School, Rochester, 7 p.m.

• July 2. DEC Headquarters, 625 Broadway, Albany, 1 p.m.

• July 2. Warren County Offices, Lake George, 7 p.m.

Written comments can also be submitted until July 19 to APA Deputy Director James Connolly at P.O. Box 99, Ray Brook, NY 12977 at Public comment is invited until July 19, 2013. http://apa.ny.gov/ or apa_slmp@gw.dec.state.ny.us

What to do?

A recent study conducted for the Essex County Visitors Center reveals visitors to the Adirondack region are primarily outdoor oriented and prefer hotel accommodations to other types, and spent $82 for every occupancy tax dollar spent on marketing in 2012.

These results should come as no great surprise, really. I ‘ve yet to meet a visitor who has traveled to Essex County to attend an opera!

The vast majority of our visitors come for the natural attractions, and as parents, we must do more to ensure our children learn to appreciate this fact. We must also make sure our local youth have appropriate opportunities to enjoy the local surroundings.

Adirondackers have always raised their children with a solid connection to the environment. It has helped to shape their character and foster an understanding of natural processes. It is a vital component of our regions culture and huge part of the North Country ‘s heritage.

The Adirondack Interpretive Center has been making this initiative their mission for several years. The staff has been providing a wide range of outdoor skill education programs, and they plan to continue it next weekend with a series on Fly Fishing hosted by Adirondack guide Rick Kovacs.

Kovacs is an accomplished flyfisherman, who operates Packbasket Adventures in the sprawling northern metropolis of Wanakena, which is located up Cranberry way.

Rick travels annually to the AIC in Newcomb to present programs on flyfishing, and to visit a community of comparable size to his own.

The program is designed for beginners and intermediate level flyfishing enthusiasts. Topics will include: Insects important to fly fishing, fly fishing in the Adirondacks, correction of fly casting mistakes for intermediates, gear selection and fly lines, basic fly casting for beginners, and fly tying.

Weather permitting, participants will have the chance to practice their skills on the water. Fly fishing rods are available to rent for a $25 fee. Advance registration is required, $25 per person per session, call 518-582-2000 or email aic@esf.edu. Bring your lunch to each workshop.

The workshop provides a great opportunity for local residents, as well as visitors to learn the ins and outs of flyfishing just in time to enjoy New York’s Free Fishing Days next weekend on June 29-30.

ore than 25 years ago I was involved in the effort to promote grazing management. During the early years, grassland management for feeding beef or dairy cows was not promoted by the agricultural universities, or most of the conservation agencies at the federal, state or local levels.

Pasture was old style farming and the Ag.

By Rich Redman Professors were pushing the new and improved model of farming. Universities utilized grant money from chemical and fertilizer companies to do studies, so they towed the company mantra of bigger is better, get big or get out, keep the cows in the barn, and use our latest new and improved product to improve your bottom line, which was really the salesmanÕ s and the companyÕ s bottom line. The times havenÕ t changed for many products!

The times have changed for pasture though. Here it is, 25 years later and grazing management has been accepted by many farmers to improve their bottom line. Grazing grass reduces manure handling costs and energy costs, improves soil health and herd health by getting the cows out of the barn and on grass pastures where nature intended them to be in the first place.

I recently attended two grazing meetings, one in Essex County, NY and the other in Wells, Vermont. At both meetings, grassland production was based on quality soils and the benefit of having abundant organic matter to supply nutrients and energy to growing plants.

Grazing consultants, including myself, have a variety of options on how to graze.

For reseeding and establishing clover, there are times when nubbing the grass down to the dirt and drilling or spreading clover or perennial ryegrass seed works. Letting the cows push the seed and organic matter into the soil with their hoofs gets the job done.

Drilling into sod works also, BUT, it must be done when the grasses are nubbed down, and there is plenty of moisture to allow the young plants to get established. If the grasses get too high, they will shade out the clovers that are trying to grow.

Traditional grass management is to graze when the grass was about 9 inches high and down to 4 or 5 inches to get the fresh growing high protein feed. Basically it was a take half, leave half approach. This allowed the high protein grasses to be grazed, and enough leaf left for photosynthesis.

High grass grazing is now being looked at as another option. High grass grazing is letting the grass get even higher, to maybe 20 inches and just taking the top third of the plant. The actual height will depend on the species of plant growing. REGROWTH TIME is critical to allow the leaves to grow as high as possible without the plant going to seed head stage, and to allow the roots to grow deeper and build organic matter. By grazing the top 1.3 of the plant, the cow gets the Ò creamÓ off the top. The remaining plant is left or trampled until the next time the cows rotate through the paddock. The benefits are that some organic matter is pushed into the ground by the cows hooves slowly building up the soil, the leaves that are left are longer so the plant grows faster due to increase photosynthesis of the plant leaf and the cows get the high energy or cream off the top of the plant for their use. The long grass residue left protects the soil from drying out and keeps the soil microbes happy so they do their thing breaking down organic matter and releasing nutrients to the grass plants.

For beef operations, I feel the high grass grazing approach is fine, but I am not sold 100 percent yet on how dairy cow milk production would be on higher grazed grasses. The farmer would have to do a comparison and see what happens in the bulk tank to know the truth. That would be an easy test to perform on the farm.

Another added benefit that is a marketing plus for grassland agriculture in general is that organic matter stores carbon. By building up your soils, you are storing carbon instead of releasing it into the atmosphere. It was said that if agriculture went with more perennial species like grass there would be a great reduction in atmospheric carbon.

It will be the farmers who will save the world, not the politicians!

Agriculture is booming in our area. Grass fed beef is making great strides lately as a better and healthier food for the consumer. The growth of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) operations, grass fed beef and vegetable operations; many driven by some of todayÕ s younger generation are pushing the envelope on new and different products for the consumer. High tunnels, irrigation and specialty crops are growing throughout the nation.

There are about 14 of us grazing people out there that are involved in a Holistic Grazing Management program where we are constantly learning about grassland management for wildlife, beef and dairy cow grazing, organic matter buildup and carbon sequestration.

ItÕ s all about the ecology of grasslands and cattle. You must learn to look at the whole thing and understand how it works; not just looking at a piece of the ecology pie! I will try to keep you all informed as we all learn.

We all must keep learning until the day we die. We will probably learn something then, when we step across that threshold! But I am in no hurry!

I would like to thank Ed Schillawski of the Seedway Company for their donation. A special thank you to both the Lincoln and Larson families for taking the time out of their busy day to share their farm experiences with all of the tour folks. Thank You to Ian Mitchell Innes from South Africa for a great presentation on mob stocking and to Jenn Colby of the UVM Center for Sustainable Agriculture.

WILMINGTON Ñ The highest museum exhibit in New York is opened Thursday, June 20 on the summit of Whiteface Mountain, New York State’s fifth tallest peak, and the surrounding area.

The new exhibit was designed by The Wild Center, working with the Adirondack North Country Association (ANCA), the Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) and other organizations.

This inclusive experience takes you from the Whiteface Ski Center to the Town of Wilmington to the summit of Whiteface, 4,867 feet in the air. Visit Whiteface Mountain, in Wilmington, N.Y., this summer and learn about one of the toughest climates in the world, and how this extreme place shapes the life that is able to survive there.

The new exhibit builds onto the many attractions already on the summit and around the mountain. Drive up the VeteransÕ Memorial Highway, walk the alpine nature trail, travel through a 426 ft. long mountain tunnel and ride an elevator to the Round House and Weather Station on the summit of Whiteface. On the way, explore vibrant signs, interactive exhibits, videos, 3-D models and panoramas that interpret the natural history of Whiteface Mountain and the Adirondacks, including geology, alpine flora and fauna, watersheds and weather.

Whiteface Mountain: The Exhibit is an exciting multi-sensory experience that will allow visitors to see nature in a cool, new way through a series of new exhibitions, including VeteransÕ Memorial Highway; The Alpine Nature Trail, Tunnel and Elevator; the Summit Experience; and the Whiteface Ski Center.

For those who canÕ t make it to Whiteface, or if they simply love the view, two real-time web cameras, one from the Summit and one looking towards Whiteface, make the mountain available to everyone wildcenter.org/cams/whitefacesummit.html and wildcenter.org/cams/whitefaceview.html.

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ No one spoke against Essex CountyÕ s proposal to move last call at local bars from 4 to 3 a.m. during a public forum at the Old County Courthouse June 13.

In fact, most of the attendees said closing bars down at 2 a.m. would be more appropriate. Ò Nothing good happens while alcohol is involved between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m.,” Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morrow said. Ò When we first put it out there about shifting closing time to 2 a.m., we faced controversy in Saranac Lake, North Elba and Lake Placid because in Franklin County, bars can stay open till 3 a.m. We figured 3 a.m. was a good compromise.Ó The measure put before the State Liquor Authority would change the times county businesses can sell alcohol. Currently, business owners in Essex County can serve alcohol between noon and 4 a.m. on Sunday and 8 a.m. to 4 a.m. every other day.

Morrow told State Liquor Authority representatives Dennis

anyone who can see it online. It can do a lot of damage to a business.Ó Rosen said he would have been interested to hear from local business owners who were opposed to the motion but feels it will be an easy decision since none showed up to protest the measure. Ò The reason I come is so I can hear for myself firsthand, there is a difference between hearing about it and hearing it firsthand,” Rosen said. Ò Half of the vote is right here and we take this tremendously into account. IÕ d be interested to see what opposition there would be and itÕ s interesting to us that there wasnÕ t any. The resolutions is what we will take into account.Ó Along with the change in Ò closing time,Ó law, the countysponsored resolution, offered by Morrow, will do away with a law that prohibited the sale of alcohol between the hours of noon and 3 p.m. on Good Friday.

Rosen said the authority will make a decision regarding the Essex County bar hours at their meeting Wednesday, June 19, at 10 a.m. in Albany. The link to a live broadcast of the meeting will be available at the authorityÕ s website, sla.ny.gov.

Business owner Vic Kraus, owner of the Mountain View Inn of Lake Placid said the early morning downtown activities that take place only a few hundred feet from his business has hurt the quality of his guestÕ s stay on numerous occasions.

Ò ItÕ s a quality of life issue,Ó Johns said. Ò We have many events that begin around 4 a.m., like fishing tournaments, and early in the morning people are heading off to
