Vt. Gas asks for pipeline delay

HAGUE

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

Silver Bay YMCA wins national award

TICONDEROGA Ñ The company planning to bring natural gas to International Paper has asked a Vermont agency to delay technical hearings.

Vermont Gas has asked the Vermont Public Service Board to Ò resetÓ the timetable for the Addison Natural Gas Project by postponing hearings on Phase II of the project.

New CEO of Vermont Gas Systems, Don Rendall, stated in a release the company was asking for the delay in part because of financial concerns. ÒW ith the estimated costs increasing substantially over our previous estimate we are hitting the reset button,Ó Rendall said. ÒT his is how we will operate.

“My first order of business at VGS has been to understand the status of this project,Ó Rendall stated. Ò This company promised last summer to update the costs of Phase I using accepted industry cost estimating standards. WeÕ ve been determined to get this job done effectively and to communicate it openly, honestly and quickly.Ó The first phase of the Addison Natural Gas Project would bring natural gas service to the communities of Vergennes and Middlebury, among others. The company has submitted to the Public Service board an estimated price tag of $154 million for the project.

Essex County kicks off 216th session

By Pete DeMola pete@denpubs.com

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Lawmakers granted Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas and Vice Chair Bill Ferebee another year at the helm on Monday, Jan. 5.

Finance Chair Tom Scozzafava, who nominated Douglas for an unprecedented sixth term, hailed the Jay leader. Ò He has not only served this body well, but also

put his constituents first,Ó said Scozzafava.

The longtime Moriah leader said Douglas has steered the county through some its most vexing terrain in memory, including the possible closure of Moriah Shock, the sale of the county-run nursing home, the installation of a new radio project, IreneÕ s aftermath and the numerous infrastructure challenges facing one of the remote counties in the state. Ò HeÕ s a hard worker, I donÕ t know where he gets the energy. HeÕ s always trying to do something for

his town and the county.Ó Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morrow seconded the resolution: Ò I donÕ t know how IÕ m going to follow up that,Ó he said. Ò DonÕ t even try,Ó deadpanned Scozzafava. Ò You have to not only run the chair, but like [Scozzafava] said, you have to go above and beyond and not only listen to the supervisors, but also to your constituents,Ó said Morrow.

Silver Bay YMCA wins national award

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com SILVER BAYÑ This December, the Silver Bay YMCA Conference and Family Retreat Center were named the top spot for family reunions.

This year was already an exciting one for the center as they were recognized by Better Homes and Gardens but they outdid themselves and showed up in Unique Venues Magazine who called Silver Bay YMCA the best of the best.

For the fist time since its debut, the magazine introduced the Ò best ofÓ awards honoring special event venues in 25 different categories. The titles ranged from Ò best conference center to get down to businessÓ to Ò best venue to get the party started, and rounded up nominees from North Carolina, Florida, California, Colorado, and more. Among the big city ranks was small town Silver Bay, New York.

Liz Hinck, Sales and Marketing Director for the center, said that she could not be more excited about the award. Ò We have been here since 1902 doing the same thing and offering the same services so it is nice to be recognized on this level,” said Hinck of the non profit, mission driven organization.

The venue had to meet several criteria to be named the cream of the crop, but Hinck said the magazine weighed their decision heavily on inter-generational programs where Ò children and their grandparents can participate together.Ó Ò We have a lot of programs, a full-service craft shop, nature

programs, custom games, pretzel making, and ice cream making,Ó said Hinck, naming off just a few of the reasons families return every year.

Hinck, a third generation employee, said her parents met working at the Silver Bay YMCA. The DirectorÕ s personal ties to the center allow her to see the inner workings of how the well oiled machine operates, and what fuels its success: people coming together. Ò We have multiple family reunions at once and the families come often so they get to know each other,Ó said Hinck. Ò It is like having a second home town when youÕ re away. You see the same familiesÕ faces and the same staff, there is a familiarity there and a great family and community atmosphere.Ó Hinck noted that the center gathers people from all over the U.S., and even some places outside it. Ò We get people from all over the country, but the big family that celebrated their 50th year reunion, here every year for 50 years in a row, are based out of Canada,Ó said Hinck of last summerÕ s biggest shindig.

Though the center was recognized for hosting some top notch family reunions, Hinck said that Silver BayÕ s unique capacity to Ò do it allÓ is what makes them stand out. Ò We are not a traditional YMCA,Ó said Hinck. Ò The Y is open for individual people, not just conferences or large groups, you can come for an individual stay or a family vacation. It isnÕ t just a gym and swim or childrenÕ s camp, we are a unique type of facility that is for anyone to enjoy.Ó ABOVE: The historic Inn at Silver Bay, part of the center’s large campus.

Pipeline Continued from page 1 In Phase II, the pipeline would be extended to Cornwall, Shoreham and under Lake Champlain to the International Paper Mill. Vermont Gas and the Public Service Board have deferred hearings on that phase until the numbers are more clear. Ò We are requesting a hold on Phase 2 regulatory proceedings so that we can develop and announce a revised plan, schedule and budget for completing both Phase 1 and 2 in the smartest, most cost-effective way,Ó Rendall stated. Ò We will do whatÕ s best for our customers and the new communities, families and businesses we look forward to serving.Ó Rendall added he believes the project will move forward on a new timetable.

“The company remains confident that the expansion of natural gas service will serve the public good,Ó he said. Ò Each phase of this project provides significant economic and environmental benefit by reducing energy costs for Vermont families and businesses, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.Ó The Addison County Regional Planning Commission gave its support to the pipeline extension in April, while the New York Public Service Commission ended their comment period on the proposal to run the pipeline under the lake and to IP Dec. 31.

During a Nov. 18 public hearing in Ticonderoga, many residents and employees at the plant turned out to support the project. After the hearing, Vermont Gas Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Eileen Simollardes said she was pleased with the responses.

“It was incredibly affirming to hear so many people talk about the importance of this project to the community and the region,Ó she said. Ò We have worked closely with IP on this project and environmental matters do not respect state lines.Ó Simollardes added while there has been vocal opposition to the project on the east shores of Lake Champlain, there has also been Ò lots of support.Ó The New York Department of Public Services will hold hearings on the matter later this year. It was not on the agenda for the Jan. 8 meeting of the agency.

Vermont Gas has asked the Vermont Public Service Board to delay hearings on Phase II of its project in Addison County, which would run a pipeline under Lake Champlain to International Paper.

Public Health advises flu and pertussis vaccines ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County Public Health recommends flu and pertussis vaccines in response to community need Essex County Public Health Communicable Disease conducts daily surveillance to allow for early identification of illness that can spread to others. There are confirmed cases of flu and pertussis in the community. Both flu and pertussis are highly contagious. The very young, elderly and immune-compromised individuals are most at risk. Sudden onset of fever, head and body aches, cough, chills and fatigue are typical with the Flu. Symptoms of Pertussis are an uncontrollable, violent and/or whooping cough.

There are vaccines available for both flu and pertussis. This is the first step to prevent the spread of both. Because infants are too young to be vaccinated, it is especially important for parents and care-givers of infants to be vaccinated so they create a circle of protection around their little ones.

Other recommended measures are regular hand-washing, coughing into a sleeve and staying away from others when sick or others who are sick.

Contact your health care provider or Essex County Public Health to speak with a nurse for information about flu, pertussis and any immunizations or booster recommendations and to schedule an appointment. Call 873-3500 and visit co.essex.ny.us/PublicHealth for more information.

Guest Editorial

Protect the Adirondacks responds

Y

our editorial, Ò Abolish Protect the AdirondacksÓ (Dec. 24, 2014), is poorly researched, inaccurate, and inflammatory—nothing more than an effort to silence those voices with which you disagree. Basic factual mistakes include names of Board members (itÕ s Bob Glennon, not John Glennon) and where our headquarters is located (itÕ s Lake George, not Niskayuna). All of this information is easily accessible on our website.

Among other things, you would have found that PROTECT has more local residents on its Board of Directors than any other Adirondack environmental group, and likely more than most other major Adirondack non-profits: two-thirds of our Board live in the Adirondacks year-round; one-third make their livings here; and five operate their own businesses here. In these areas, PROTECT’s Board has higher representation than other groups.

In the last year, PROTECT played a key leadership role in passing new statewide aquatic invasive species control legislation. We broke stories about violations of laws and regulations on the Forest Preserve and successfully called upon the APA to begin State Land Master Plan reform efforts in transparent public forums. We worked with other groups to force the state to rescind a troubling and illegal plan for the new Essex Chain Lakes area. We helped stop expansion of environmentally damaging ATV use on public and private lands in New York. We also work in partnership with over 75 lakes associations and Paul SmithÕ s College to manage the largest water quality monitoring program in the Park. This program provided scientific evidence of extensive road-salt pollution in Adirondack waters and has catalyzed Park-wide action.

PROTECTÕ s successes were enabled by the hard work of our executive director, whom you attacked baselessly. Peter Bauer has a long resume, working in the Adirondacks as a journalist, serving on a state commission, and leading various Adirondack Park environmental non-profits for 25 years. He has served on numerous state and private task forces and advisory bodies dealing with Adirondack Park issues, published investigative reports, authored chapters in books, written widely for numerous publications, testified before various state legislative committees, and has won many environmental victories. He also serves on the Zoning Board of Appeals for the Town of Lake George.

The editors at Denton Publications are clearly agitated by PROTECTÕ s efforts and lawsuit to oppose what we see as a ruinous approval by the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) for the 6,000-acre Adirondack Club & Resort project. We focused mostly on the impact of this approval on lands classified as Resource Management under the APA Act. We feared this project would set a negative precedent for poorly designed large-scale subdivisions. Our fears have, unfortunately, been realized, as weÕ re now seeing a new 1,100-acre subdivision on Resource Management lands in the southern Adirondacks, designed the same way, with far flung lots and house sites connected by roads and powerlines. We believed in the merits of this case and are disappointed that this bad precedent for the development of Resource Management lands will stand. We have no objection whatever to a bustling Adirondack economy; we simply want the state to follow its own laws and regulations.

While you take PROTECT to task for allegedly wasting public resources through our challenge to the APAÕ s approval of the Adirondack Club & Resort, you were strangely quiet with respect to unsuccessful lawsuits and appeals by local governments in the Adirondacks, brought and defended on both sides with public monies, over new APA shoreline regulations. According to you, itÕ s okay for some to litigate, but not for us.

The most troubling aspect of Denton PublicationsÕ editorial is your naked call to censorship and suppression of voices that you disagree with. Denton PublicationsÕ effort to silence or abolish a voice in public life you donÕ t like is a dangerous step indeed. WhatÕ s next? Your editorial calling for censorship and abolishment of PROTECTÕ s right to public speech undermines free thought, free expression, and any hope for a diverse, pluralistic, and open American civil society.

Just so you know, Protect the Adirondacks is here to stay. This is America after all, and everybody gets a voice.

Letters to the Editor

Letter was racist

Protect integral

To the Times of Ti: Bill Coats, production manager at Denton Publications and author of the recent racist, inflammatory, and polarizing letter to the editor, draws his information from The New Century Foundation and its publication, American Renaissance. Both were founded by arch racist, Jared Taylor, a self admitted white separatist who views whites as genetically superior in intelligence to blacks.

Timothy Mount, Elizabethtown

To the Times of Ti: The recent editorial calling for the dissolution of Ò Protect the AdirondacksÓ was unnecessarily harsh and unprofessional in the personal nature of the Adirondack JournalÕ s attack on that organization and its executive director, Peter Bauer.

We are in great need of thoughtful and educated environmental defenders, local and regional, as well as national and global.

Mr. BauerÕ s point of view is an integral part of all of our considerations here in the Adirondacks. Much harm has been done to the environment worldwide in the name of economic progress, and Ò ProtectÓ is trying to prevent an erosion of this kind in our own state. Bauer is working on all of our behalf by speaking and acting on his conscience and with expertise. To silence a voice that reminds us of 1894 and the approval by the people of the passage of Article XIV, in which New York State Forest Preserve lands were placed under the stateÕ s highest level of protection, is unwise, shortsighted and historically uninformed.

The Adirondack Park, a state and national treasure which we all value, has always manifested the conflict of preservation vs. economic growth. The task is to create a balance between that preservation and a land use which can support human needs and expansion while preserving wilderness. Dialogue, and sometimes radically differing opinions with each new proposal, are essential. We can not afford to suppress or disregard the advocacy of those who support the ParkÕ s original mission.

Solutions to the economic crisis in the North Country are complex and necessary. Considerations for the best use of economic resources must be sought but not at the cost of damaging the mountains, lakes and wild spaces of the Adirondack Park. Peter BauerÕ s voice is an intelligent and courageous one. He should be supported for raising important concerns and not unjustly criticized.

Lisa Adamson Lake George

Issues To the Times of Ti: I recently spent most of the holidays taking public transportation around New York as my car went down two weeks ago.

I enclose a copy of NY by Rail and I was shocked to see that there was not even 1 ad for anything in Essex County.

Now I know that there are certain people who enjoy the gravy train from the so-called bed tax and they keep rolling the County forward telling them that they are doing a bang up job, but really?

I think the County Govt is being fed a line of BS and perhaps itÕ s time to unplug this little fiefdom.

Along the way, perhaps it might also be time to pull the plug on the Champ Bus. Recently I asked Champ for a public hearing and was spurned because I didnÕ t ask within 10 days.

Now the only 10 day limit I know is for taking an intermediate appeal in a bankruptcy case.

From my point of view, the money is squandered. For example, it seems to me that it would be more productive to provide funding and insurance for taxi cabs. I am sure the former Clinton County Assistant DA who racked up a DWI last week would agree.

I also recently asked Champ about how they were promoting the Schroon Lake Service and got nothing but silence.

And of course, there is the Essex County IDA, in itself a little financial Kingdom. Nobody seems to understand or even care that the existence of the IDA allows every bank lending in Essex County to duck itÕ s Community Investment Act duties.

From what I can see, the IDA only makes sweetheart deals involving real estate and are pretty much clueless otherwise.

How about some microloans to allow people to buy a new chain saw? Just try to borrow a couple of hundred from the Champlain Bank. I did, and didnÕ t even get the typical dead fish in the water letter that most banks send out when they skip over your request.

I thank you in advance and wish you a happy next year William Kuntz, III Westport

Abolish editorial board To the Times of Ti: Having a Ò hometownÓ newspaper that is free is nice Ð but it has one large draw back: you canÕ t cancel your subscription in disgust at a ridiculously insulting editorial. (And no one will even see you tossing the paper into the recycling bin without reading it.)

The editorial suggesting that Protect the Adirondacks should be abolished was yellow journalism (no legitimacy coupled with sensationalism) at its worse.

Although equally as impossible and inappropriate, how about abolishing the Ò Denton Publications Editorial BoardÓ of The Valley News, (whoever they are)?

Katharine Preston, Essex

Shocked, saddened, dismayed To the Times of Ti: I just returned from a trip to Canada and found the Dec. 27 issue of Valley News waiting for me at the Post Office. I usually find a number of articles of local interest and I appreciate the fact that the publication is available for free.

However, I was shocked, saddened and dismayed by the editorial titled Ò Abolish Protect The Adirondacks.Ó I have never read such a hateful and misinformed piece in my life (IÕ m a former journalist and IÕ ve read a few in my time). IÕ ll contain my disgust to salient points only (unlike the editorial).

I was born, downstate, in the Finger Lakes region so you canÕ t label me one of those second-home types from Manhattan. My family would vacation every summer here in the Adirondacks.

We would camp at Golden Beach, Eighth Lake, Lake Eaton and BrownÕ s Tract Pond. As I grew up, I went onto climbing many of the High Peaks. From there, after I was unable to carry 60 lbs up and over the range trail, I took up canoeing. And, I was climbing my first mountain (West Mountain) most likely before anyone on your staff was born.

I take the last wilderness in the east very seriously. I knew development would wreck the unique character of this Park. I applauded when the APA was put into place to protect the WILDERNESS nature of the area. This, I think, is where you missed the point entirely in your editorial.

I am a retired teacher. I worked for decades to finally be able to afford to come to my beloved mountains and live. Yes, live.

My wife and I own land and live near Saranac Lake. We do not drive through this Ò playgroundÓ in a BMW X5 (whatever that is) with our noses turned up as you so rudely describe the people who see the unique nature of this place. I wish the APA was a stronger agency to keep out those who would come here and build, develop and make a bundle of money on the last remain-

County Continued from page 1 He also lauded Douglas for his deep ties to the stateÕ s leadership and his willingness to compromise on county affairs. Ò That is the true mark of a leader.Ó The decision was unanimous.

DOUGLAS RESPONDS In a poignant and heartfelt speech, Douglas thanked the board and his family. Ò Through it all, my wife has been my rock,Ó he said. Ò She is the most understanding person I have ever met.Ó Douglas also thanked the three longest-serving supervisors on the board: George Canon, of Newcomb; Morrow and Scozzafava.

Earlier that morning, Canon was briefly installed as temporary board chairman, a procedural technicality that was necessary to swear in Douglas. Ò If this is truly your last year, itÕ s only suitable to send you out on top,Ó said Douglas, referring to CanonÕ s presumptive retirement at the end of this session.

Canon has served since 1990.

Douglas also asked lawmakers to keep the family of former Gov. Mario Cuomo, who passed away on Jan. 1, in their prayers.

Since 2009, Douglas has developed a strong bond with CuomoÕ s son, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who was sworn in for a second term last week just five hours before his father’s death. Ò I know how much he loved his father as we shared many conversations on how our fathers influenced both of our lives,” said Douglas.

Following his inauguration, Douglas said he planned to travel to New York City with a delegation from Essex County to pay his respects.

Douglas told lawmakers he would continue to serve with Ò honesty, integrity and energy.Ó Ò Your trust I have not taken likely,Ó he said.

The board has a lengthy to-do list for the upcoming term, their 216th.

Times of Ti • January 10, 2015 | 7

The chairman said county officials will continue to explore ways to consolidate without reducing services Ñ CuomoÕ s property tax freeze requires municipalities to demonstrate savings to taxpayers through shared services Ñ locking in infrastructure grants, including funds to prop up the countyÕ s aging Olympic infrastructure, and continuing to lobby the state legislature to eliminate services that are no longer affordable.

Douglas also highlighted the importance of the proposed pipeline from Vermont that will funnel natural gas to International Paper in Ticonderoga and exploring the possibility of utilizing solar energy to fuel county facilities. Ò We have our work cut out for us and I promise we will rise to the occasion,Ó he said.

Douglas also commended former Congressman Bill Owens for his service and said he looked forward to working with his replacement, Elise Stefanik, who took office on Tuesday, Jan. 6, the day this story went to print.

ing place of quiet (so little of it is left) here.

The special interests already made several fortunes on loggingÑ where did all that money go when there was no protection against the timber industry? Into the hands of the residents?

Dream on.

The philosophy you espouse is like that of the land barons who would have Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon in their portfolio.

A newspaper with true interests of its readers would think of the future and not of the few jobs that might result from the development you would like to see. Be responsible stewards of this special Park and fight against the developers—not for them.

YouÕ ve lost track of where you live, my esteemed editor. The future of the unspoiled wilderness is the one true asset you possess.

One issue that requires monitoring is the proper disposal of wastewater, not only from the actual technique but also from a potentially enormous amount of water that can be released from deep underground.

“The report specifically addressed different shale formations, such as the Marcellus in New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia as well as those in Texas. Ò As noted in the report, the practice has greatly expanded jobs in various parts of the country. Ò Except in certain corners, there is little question that hydraulic fracking and horizontal drilling is dramatically changing the world geopolitical outlook for oil and natural gas. Ò On Dec. 17, Governor Andrew Cuomo decided to ban hydraulic fracking of shale in New York State. The important Marcellus formation is in the southern and western parts of the state, which is experiencing economic stagnation. Ò The governor referred to his experts who cited environmental health concerns. Ò As the Wall Street Journal stated, Ò In other words, all of the Governor’s men couldn’t find conclusive evidence that fracking presents a significant risk to public health or the environment. So theyÕ re going to ban fracking until they do.Ó Ò Hydraulic fracturing has been used since 1947 and the EPA has yet to uncover credible evidence that it causes groundwater contamination. The best one of the governorÕ s experts, the acting state health commissioner, could do was that he would not want to live in a community where fracking was taking place. Ò One may not wish to live in a community with a major jet airport, but is that a reason to issue a statewide ban on jet airports?Ó In your opposition to fracking, you have sided with the Green gentry against the ordinary working class people of the area.

As the young continue to move westward, the schools close, and the economy declines further, the gentry will not mind (so long as a few workers remain to mow their lawns and plow their driveways), but you will find your principal income from ads fall away disastrously, and then perhaps you will realize that in betraying the non-gentry here, you betrayed your own interests.

John Gardner, Essex SECOND IN COMMAND Keene Supervisor Bill Ferebee was also unanimously awarded another term as the boardÕ s vice chair. Ò I found him not only to be wise counsel, but a very good friend as well,Ó said Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland, who just wrapped up his first year in office. “He impressed me not only with his excellent leadership of town of Keene, but also as an integrated leader of Essex County.Ó Gillilland said due to FerebeeÕ s active leadership Ñ heÕ s not simply a backbencher for Douglas Ñ the county is better off Ò in so many waysÓ as they head into the coming year.

Lewis Supervisor David Blades seconded the motion. Ò As you know brevity and honesty is the key to good, solid dialogue in this room,Ó said Blades.

Ferebee thanked his colleagues and said he looked forward to serving them for another term. Ò I thoroughly enjoy the position Ñ weÕ ve made a good team together,Ó he told the Valley News. Ò It would be a shame to disrupt the routine at this time.Ó The duo have served together for the past five years. Ò WeÕ re going to keep Essex County on the radar.Ó Other county officials were also sworn in by County Clerk Joe Provoncha, including Sheriff Richard Cutting, County Manager Dan Palmer, Deputy County Manager Mike Mascarenas and County Treasurer Mike Diskin, who was accompanied by his wife, granddaughter and grandson. Ò TheyÕ re the wind beneath my wings,Ó he said.

Diskin also thanked his two deputies, who were also granted new terms.

“Any good coach is only as good as the team he puts on the field,” he said. Ò I have good captains.Ó ABOVE: Essex County Treasurer Mike Diskin was sworn in for another term on Monday, Jan. 5 at the Government Center in Elizabethtown.

He was accompanied by his grandson, Billy Orr, and his granddaughter, Kaitlin Diskin.

Scozzafava, Essex County supervisors back paper editorial

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ The 18 members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to support and editorial written by the editorial board of this newspaper.

During its organizational meeting Jan. 5, the board took the

unusual step of passing a resolution in support of a controversial newspaper editorial written last month by this publicationÕ s editorial board that expressed their displeasure with the environmental group Protect the Adirondacks and what they perceived as spurious attempts at litigation.

Newcomb Supervisor George Canon moved the resolution from the floor, saying he’s been involved in a number of Adirondack debates since taking office in 1990. Ò They nailed it right on the head,Ó he said. Ò TheyÕ re an obstructionist group, not a group to make things better. They just want to close the Adirondacks down. I fully support the comments made by Denton Publications as related to Protect the Adirondacks.Ó Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava seconded the motion. Ò The editorial was well said and it was true,Ó he said. Ò This group is self-serving.Ó Scozzafava said he couldnÕ t recall any economic development project in the Adirondack Park that the group had ever endorsed. Ò With the closure of Moriah Shock, they never took a stand.

They are self-serving. TheyÕ d just as soon see as all out of here. I fully support the editorial.Ó The resolution passed unanimously.

Protect Executive Director Peter Bauer expressed his dissapointment with the Board of Supervisors when told about the resolution. Ò ItÕ s a sad state of affairs that the political leaders of Essex County have embraced positions to deny free speech, free action, and free expression,” Bauer said. “I think when they reflect on their actions, the Essex County Board of Supervisors will see that theyÕ ve lined up on the wrong side of this issue. Thankfully, Essex County remains part of the United States, where free speech and free expression are the law of the land and the freedom of action of environmental organizations like Protect the Adirondacks is vigorously defended.Ó Bauer said the organization has seen report from other media outlets who have Ò denouncedÓ the editorial. Ò The Denton PublicationsÕ editorial called for the silencing of

the free thought and free expression of Protect the Adirondacks, a voice it disagreed with,Ó Bauer said. Ò This editorial has been denounced by other media outlets who have rejected it.Ó Bauer also said the county board should look in the mirror on this matter. Ò PROTECT is being criticized for an unsuccessful lawsuit against the Adirondack Park Agency, but the Essex County Board of Supervisors have short memories,Ó he said. Ò Just a few years back they unsuccessfully sued the APA and then tried to appeal and lost again. The courts are open and available to all Americans not just the Essex County Board of Supervisors.Ó

ACAP after school program gets Adk. Marathon funding

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com SCHROON Ñ The after school program at Schroon Lake Central School has seen some ups

and downs over the past couple of years.

Almost threatened to be closed at the beginning of the 2014-15 school year, funding was found through the lead agency over the program, Adirondack Community Action Programs.

Students from Schroon Lake After School program participated recently in an Lights On event promoting the importance of After School programming.

Now, the program is the beneficiary of funding from the Adirondack Marathon. Ò We are excited to announce that they are one of the organizations to receive a donation from the Adirondack Marathon this year,Ó Marge Garcia of ACAP said. Ò As part of the event, the organizers have committed to raising funds to support local programs and services.Ó Ò ACAP has fought hard to keep programs running and donations such as this go a long way to help keep after school programs operating,Ó said Marjorie Zmijewski, Program Director. Ò We are so grateful for the opportunity to still be able to provide this program to the children, parents and teachers at Schroon Lake Central School,Ó Schroon Lake CS site supervisor Barbara Taylor said. Ò This is a wonderful program with really great children and staff.Ó The after school program involves a snack and a conversation between children and staff; academic enrichment, where they work on

homework, spelling quizzes and school day class projects; work on increasing childrenÕ s reading and math skills; and daily activities which consist of crafts, character education, free play (physical activity) and team building. Ò Community support from events such as Schroon LakeÕ s Adirondack Marathon, held in September, not only provide vital support to amazing programs such as this, they also bring community awareness and support to programs that have a major impact on the children and families in our communities,Ó Garcia said. Ò Last winter we contacted the school about their needs when we were setting up the Running for Good program,Ó Marathon director Joel Freidman said. Ò That is when we learned that the ACAP program might not receive funding for the after school program.Ó For more on the Schroon Lake after school program through ACAP, contact Zmijewski at 873-3207.

Walking program offered at SLCS

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com SCHROON Ñ As the thermometer drops lower and the landscape changes from green to white, Schroon Lake Central School is offering the community a chance to keep active through an indoor alternative.

The school is currently offering an after school self-walking program for members of the community, which takes place during the days school is in session from 3:10 until 7 p.m.

Walkers are asked to enter and exit through the main entrance at the school. They are also asked to sign a facility waiver form located in

the yellow folder on the shelf.

Walkers must also wear an identification tag while they are in the building.

Terri Bearor said they have had several members of the community taking advantage of the program through the first part of the school year. Ò ARC brings their residents over in order to exercise in the cold weather,Ó Bearor said. Ò It gives them a place close by and they do not have to travel to find a place to walk indoors, which is convenient.Ó For more information on the Schroon Lake Central School after school walking program, contact the main office at 532-7164.

Local towns earn micro-enterprise grants ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Five towns in Essex and Hamilton County have received Adirondack Park Upper Hudson Recreation Hub Grants.

The towns of Minverva, Newcomb and North Hudson in Essex County along with Indian Lake and Long Lake in Hamilton County have received a total of $100,000 to establish the Hub Microenterprise Program.

The awards were applied for by Essex County in partnership with Hamilton County.

The grants are managed by the Nature Conservancy, in partnership with The Natural Heritage Trust and the Department of environmental Conservation.

There will be an Informational meeting on the Microenterprise Grant Program Wednesday, Jan. 15, 7 p.m. at the town hall in Long Lake.

The Microenterprise Grant Program (MGP) will be established to provide grants to eligible expanding or start up Microenterprise businesses, located in Essex County, the towns of Minerva, Newcomb and North Hudson and in Hamilton County, the towns of Indian Lake and Long Lake.

As qualified businesses are identified through an application process, the MGP will provide resolution to small businesses lack of access to capital and assist businesses to offer a more relevant mix of wares, goods and services to help improve the viability of the businesses, to become more sustainable and retain and create new jobs.

These communities will be investing in amenities to promote a spectrum of recreational opportunities and the use of the state lands, which will enhance and increase visitations to the communities to enjoy the surrounding Forest Preserve and Conservation Easement lands.

The MGP will strengthen the linkages between communities and the surrounding Recreational Hub, attract revenue from recreating visitors, enhance the quality of life for the residents and leverage other private funding sources that will maximize the benefit that communities can realize through increased public use of the former Finch/Nature Conservancy lands.

The MGP will enhance nature access points by businesses that cater directly to the recreational visitor (such as bait shops, back country supply shops and other commercial and guide services), located in the communities center (the areas that are designed to be market driven) of economic activity and tourist accommodations, that offer the potential for walkability and increased commercial activity, providing multiple consolidated visitor service (such as restaurants, lodging, shops, gear and guides). Overall the MPG will significantly improve tourism and recreation related businesses to become sustainable and more economically viable, which will also improve the residentÕ s quality of life.

A Microenterprise is a busi-

ness that employs or will employ nine or fewer persons, including the business owner or owners. To be eligible for assistance, an existing microenterprise business must retain and or create jobs. The grant funds from the Microenterprise program can be used to: purchase equipment, furniture and fixtures, inventory and be used for

operating expenses, marketing, and working capital and start up costs. All grant applicants must complete Adirondack Upper Hudson Recreation Hub Microenterprise Program, Business Development and Enhancement Training Program.

For information, contact the Essex County IDA at 8739114.

Golden Palace robbed

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com PORT HENRY Ñ The investigation is still underway for a suspect who robbed the Golden Palace Chinese Restaurant on Broad Street Tuesday night.

At about 5:20 p.m., a white male clad in a black hooded sweatshirt entered and passed Jiwang Xian, who was working the counter, a note. Ò I couldnÕ t really understand,Ó he said. Ò He was still standing there, I think he wanted money.Ó Xian opened the drawer and gave him $10. Ò No, all of the money,Ó said the suspect, whom Xian said was attempting to peer into the drawer.

The suspect made a motion from under his sweatshirt that indicted he was pointing a gun at Xian.

Xian slapped what he estimated to be between $50 and $70 onto the counter and glared at the suspect. Ò All of it,Ó said the suspect.

Xian told him no. Ò He was really angry, but I was really angry, too!Ó said Xian.

At this point, recalled Xian, a customer realized what was happening and the suspect took off.

The suspect fled into the night, down Main Street towards the lakefront, and the customer asked if Xian wanted him to call the police.

They arrived within minutes. Ò It was very quick,Ó said Xian, who continued to keep the place open and serve customers.

On Wednesday afternoon, a brisk lunchtime crowd came and went, expressing their sympathies and wishing Xian and his colleague, Yunwang Ze, holiday wishes. Ò I was a little scared,Ó said Xian.

Ze scoffed at being afraid.

But nothing like this has happened in the 15 years theyÕ ve been running the joint, she noted.

State police are investigating the incident.

Ze said the suspect was about 5Õ 8Ó , stocky, with hazel eyes and a thin face and no facial hair. Ò WeÕ ll get him,Ó said Moriah Town Supervisor Tom Scozzafava.

The Golden Palace, he said, is a well-respected and established member of the community. Ò They work hard for every dollar they earn,Ó he said.

Mineville VFW to host country concert, music video shoot Joe McGinness to shoot video, perform at VFW

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com MINEVILLE Ñ When most artists shoot a music video, it is done on a closed set with very little fanfare.

That is not the case for rising country music artist Joe McGinness.

McGinness and radio station WOKO (98.9 on the FM dial) will be hosting a concert and video shoot Saturday, Feb. 7. Proceeds from the evening will go to benefit the Big Change Roundup for Kids.

“The band and I are extremely excited for the filming of the video,Ó McGinness said. Ò ItÕ s certainly going be a lot of hard work but we are up for the challenge. We will be working long hours to prep for this event because we want it to be perfect. The HD cameras and the film crew we will be using will pick up any little imperfection and with that being said, we cannot take any short cuts. We will even have a professional make up artist from MAC Cosmetics on hand to make sure everyone looks their best.

Also, this gives me a chance to bond with the fans and create something special together.Ó McGinness said there will be some secrecy around the event, the first being the song they will be performing for the video. Ò It will be the new single that we will be unveiling that night,Ó McGinness said. Ò I chose this song because it captures what our live shows are all about - having a great time and enjoying country music and the lifestyle that goes along with it. ItÕ s a fun song all around. The fans will love it!Ó There will also be a second special guest artist to open the show Feb. 7. Ò All I can say is, the audience will not be disappointed,Ó he said.

McGinness said he is excited about the direction his career is going in, signified by the creation of a video. Ò Music videos give a song a whole new dimension and thatÕ s what we need to bring this to a whole new level,Ó he said. Ò This opens many doors for me as an artist.Ó McGinness said the video will be sent to management/ booking agencies and record labels as well in search of a major recording deal. Ò With YouTube being so popular today, there is a great possibility of being discovered there as well,Ó he said. Ò IÕ m not able to perform live all over the world at the moment, but the video will be the next best thing to that. Now we can be seen as well as heard.Ó The ultimate goal for any artist who makes a music video would be airplay on a major music television station, which is no different from McGinness. Ò CMT or GAC will be our target eventually and it will take a lot of support for our fans to get there, but IÕ m certain all of us together can make it happen,Ó he said. Ò We are shooting for the stars. The video will be released on YouTube and many other major sites.

The video will be available for download on the iTunes video store also.Ó The Feb. 7 show will begin at 8 p.m., with doors opening one hour earlier at 7 p.m. at the

Mineville VFW, 9 Veterans Way in Mineville. Admission will be $6 at the door for all ages, with 50/50 raffles and WOKO on location. Ò We encourage everyone to dress like a star,Ó McGinness said.

McGinness again will team with the radio station to give a portion of the proceeds to the Big Change Roundup, something he has been heavily involved with as his career has risen. Ò I have been very lucky to have WOKO support me since my albums release,” he said. “They have put my song ‘It’s Gonna be a Good NightÕ in full rotation and also believed in me enough to sponsor this event. IÕ ve always believed in helping out where I can. The Big Change Roundup for Kids is an amazing concept, helping out children battling illness along with their families.

Joe McGinness is inviting his closest friends from the area to be part of a concert and music video shoot at the Mineville VFW Saturday, Feb. 7.

ThereÕ s no better way to give back to our community. ItÕ s the least we can do.Ó Overall, McGinness said this is one of the moments in his career he has been waiting for. Ò IÕ ve been planning this event for two years and now my dream has become my reality.Ó

The infamous RogersÕ Rangers played an important role in the French and Indian War history of Fort Ticonderoga. Despite the numerous accounts of them spying on the French encampments and their attacks on wood-cutting parties, their clothing and appearance is something of a mystery. Artificer Tailor Gibb Zea will discuss and translate the documentation known about the rangers to give a better idea of what they wore, how they wore it, and what textiles one might expect to find on a ranger in the 1750s.

A focus on the clothing will revolve around the appearance of Rogers and his men as they would have appeared to the large French scouting party that they met March 13, 1758, the day of the Battle on Snowshoes.

The fund, established in Spring 2014, lets nonprofits, schools, and municipalities apply directly to Adirondack Foundation for grants from two new programs, small and significant and collaborations. This year, grants ranging $250 to $10,000 supported a variety of projects, from parenting support and education programs in Clinton County to water quality initiatives in Lake George.

Meanwhile, targeted Big Impact grants from the Generous Acts Fund have helped Adirondack Foundation and several partners begin the Birth to Three (BT3) initiative, an in-depth examination of the support systems available to families with young children in Clinton, Essex, and Franklin counties. ÒD onors to the Generous Acts Fund are seeing the collective impact of their gifts, which is so much more than they could achieve alone, and we have become a more responsive and proactive community foundation at the same time,Ó said Cali Brooks, executive director of Adirondack Foundation. “This first round of grants is a big step forward for us as a grant making institution. As we continue to grow the fund, weÕ ll be able award even more grants to organizations and programs that help improve quality of life in our communities.Ó For a complete list of 2014 Generous Acts Fund grant recipients, visit generousact.org.

oing to the golf course... in winter?

Why not? Join us on Jan. 17 at the Cobble Hill Golf Course in Elizabethtown for a vintage snowmobile rally. It will be a full day of family fun with sledding, skiing, snowshoeing and sÕ mores!

Plus, we’ll be raffling off that 1996 Arctic Cat 580 youÕ ve heard so much about. To purchase tickets in advance, contact jhartley@ncspca.org.

If youÕ re looking for a way to get outside and beat the winter blues, this is your chance... See you there!

The North Country SPCA would like to thank all of our friends in the local community and beyond for helping to make 2014 a recordbreaking year.

More animals than ever before came through our shelter doors, which means we also sent more animals than ever before to their forever homes. Most recently, we were challenged by a very, very generous group of donors to raise $40,000 by the end of the year.

And we did it - with YOUR help! Our furry friends thank you with purrs and wagging tails for your generosity. Each dollar really does make a difference!

Our featured pet this week is May, a petite Beagle and Dachshund mix who has a lot of energy and spirit. This playful young lady is friendly overall, but she is a little overprotective

Kathy L. Wilcox • 873-5000

Miss May of her food dish.

The caring staff at the shelter have been working with her to overcome this hurdle, and she is making progress. Miss May loves to play and will chase balls for you for hours.

She walks well alongside other dogs, but we feel she would be happiest as the only dog in her forever home. May needs an experienced dog person to help her become the best canine companion she can be... are you up for the challenge?
