Supporterslaud landswap approval

By Matt [email protected]

TUPPER LAKE — Supporters of an amendment tothe State Constitution legalizing a set of power linesbuilt on State Forest Preserve are celebrating its re-cent passage.

Voters across New York State approved the meas-ure by a margin of 863,898 to 427,043 Nov. 3, muchto the delight of Elected representatives and envi-ronmental groups, both of whom supported it.

The amendment authorizes the transfer of sixacres of Forest Preserve along Route 56 in the townof Colton to accommodate a new stretch of powerlines to Tupper Lake. National Grid, the companythat owns and operates the lines, will give 43 acresof land along the Grasse River in exchange.

“I am very thankful for the voter support we re-ceived on Election Day for this important constitu-tional amendment,” said State Sen. Elizabeth Little,who sponsored the initiative and helped guide itthrough the Senate and Assembly.

The Adirondack Council was also a major propo-nent of the project, educating voters on how con-struction of the lines across the two-mile stretchamounted to the least environmental impact.

“This landslide approval shows that voters tookthe time to understand the issue and trusted our ad-vice about the environmental benefits,” said BrianHouseal, executive director for the AdirondackCouncil. “We are gratified and humbled by the over-whelmingly positive response.”

The amendment allows National Grid to legallyconnect Tupper Lake to a back-up power supply. Thecommunity had suffered numerous power outagesover the past decade because it was at the end of asingle power supply line that starts in Malone.

Recognizing an immediate need for another line,National Grid, the New York State Power Authorityand the state Department of Environmental Conser-vation signed an agreement authorizing construc-tion in early 2008.

“It’s impossible to build a sustainable, moderneconomy in a village that can’t keep the lights on,”Houseal said, “Dysfunctional villages only encour-age more development in the back woods where itdoesn’t belong.”

Houseal said the Adirondack Council supportedthe amendment because the alternative was to runthe lines on a six-mile detour around the Forest Pre-serve.

“We really didn’t like the detour,” said Houseal,noting how it would have cut through old-growthboreal forest that is known to contain rare plants andwildlife, such as spruce grouse.

“We told them, ‘This may sound crazy, but wewant you to build this on the Forest Preserve. It willsave you money and it will prevent ecological dam-age by confining the power line to an already-de-veloped area,’” Houseal said. “They looked at usstrangely at first, but then agreed.”

The majority of the lines run across private prop-erty or remain on the state Route 56 highway ease-ment; all except a two-mile stretch between StarkFalls and Sevey Corners. They have been in use sinceMay.

With the amendment approved, the state legisla-ture must now pass yet another bill spelling out thespecifics of the land swap and completing the trans-fers.

“Passage couldn't come at a better time as winterquickly approaches and demand for power will in-crease in Tupper Lake and the Tri-Lakes region,” Lit-tle said. “This is a smart solution and the result ofeffective teamwork by the business community, en-vironmental advocates and local and state officials.”


ELIZABETHTOWN — Henry Hommeshas been the Essex County Sheriff for 12years. Now, it appears he will have thechance to add four more.

Unofficial election results released Nov. 3showed Hommes with a commanding leadover his two independent challengers withnearly 55 percent of the total vote.

The final tally credited Hommes with5,280 votes. Westport town councilmanMichael “Ike” Tyler came in second with3,086, and former Wilmington town justiceRobert Kirby third with 1,319.

“I think it speaks for itself; that I must bedoing what the people want,” saidHommes. “I’m very appreciative of the sup-port I’ve received tonight and over the past12 years.”

The convincing victory for Hommes par-allels his win over Tyler in the Republicanprimary. There, he claimed 54.2 percent ofthe vote in a two-way race.

Tyler continued to run as an independent,but could not pull enough voters away fromHommes. He did put forth strong showingsin Elizabethtown, Moriah, and Westport,however.

Tyler could not be reached for commentat the time of this report.

Kirby, another independent, was alsoable to draw many of the voters who wereseeking change. Though he had significantsupport in Wilmington and surroundingcommunities in Keene and Jay, it was notenough to challenge the incumbent.

“Naturally, I'm disappointed,” said Kir-by. “I believe that we have some seriousproblems at our sheriff's office, and I pre-sented some very specific solutions tothem.”

Kirby said he had felt a positive responsefrom people he met throughout the county,but admitted his self-funded campaign maynot have allowed him to reach enough peo-ple.

“Although the end result was not what I'dhoped for, it was still a positive experienceoverall and I'm grateful to have had the op-portunity to run,” he added.

The wide margin of victory for Hommesmeans he has no reason to doubt his re-elec-tion. Less than 1,200 absentee ballots havebeen issued county-wide.

“We will continue to do the job we’vebeen doing of trying to keep the burden ofthe tax rolls off the backs of the taxpayers,”Hommes said.

Hommes elected easily to fourth term as sheriff

ELIZABETHTOWN — The race be-tween the candidates for Essex CountyDistrict Attorney is still too close to callafter Election Day.

Unofficial results reported after pollsclosed Nov. 3 show Republican-backedcandidate Kristy Sprague with a 75-votelead over incumbent Julie Garcia in thecounty-wide race.

The margin remained close as individ-ual towns reported their counts through-out the evening. With only Minerva andNorth Elba left to report, the countshowed Garcia with a 110-vote lead.

Final tallies gave Sprague a tentativewin, however, claiming victory by a mar-gin of 6053 votes to Garcia’s 5978.

“It was a close race,” said Sprague, “butI won, and I’m very pleased with the re-

sult.”Sprague, an Assistant District Attorney

in Clinton County, received the endorse-ment of Essex County Republicans andwent on to a narrow victory over fellowRepublican Garcia in the party primary,but not before Garcia had secured the en-dorsement of county Democrats.

“I knew it was going to be tough,”Sprague added. “[Garcia’s] a four-yearincumbent who ran on a major party line,but we won, and I’m happy with that.”

The towns of Elizabethtown, Westport,Moriah, Essex, and Schroon all brokeheavily in favor of Garcia, but Spragueclaimed significant victories in Chester-field, Ticonderoga, Minerva, Newcomb,North Hudson, and her new hometown ofWillsboro.

Sprague said the presence of the Con-gressional race in the 23rd district con-tributed heavily to the closeness of theDistrict Attorney race.

“The Democrats definitely got out thevote,” she said, surmising that many sup-porters of candidate Bill Owens also vot-ed for Garcia on the Democratic line.

Garcia has yet to concede, but certain-ly acknowledged the initial deficit in arace many had painted as a referendumon the decision of Republican party lead-ers not to back the candidate they hadchosen four years prior.

“I’m very proud of our campaign,” saidGarcia. “People stood up for what theybelieved in.”

Garcia pointed to early results in therace for Essex town supervisor as evi-dence that the political strength of rank-ing Essex County Republicans is fading.There, long-time incumbent Ronald Jack-son, chair of the county Republican Com-mittee, showed a preliminary loss to chal-lenger Sharon Boisen by a margin of more

than five percent.“When Ron Jackson takes a hit, it

speaks volumes for the state of the Re-publican Party in Essex County,” Garciasaid. “It shows the unrest in the GOP andthat people aren’t just going to vote forthe person the Republican Party wantsthem to vote for.”

The candidates now await an official re-sult following the count of absentee bal-lots. There have been 1,167 absentee bal-lots sent out, of which, at last report, 787have been collected. The remaining 380must have been postmarked by Nov. 2,but have until Nov. 10 to be received.

Still, Sprague is confident her victorywill stand.

“I think that once the absentee ballotsare counted, they will increase our mar-gin further,” she said, adding that hercampaign has actively targeted absenteevoters.

CROWN POINT — TheLake Champlain Bridge inCrown Point, closed for amonth because of safety con-cerns, will be demolished.

Engineers have deter-mined it is not feasible to re-habilitate the 80-year-oldspan.

An underwater inspectionof the bridge's concrete piersand underlying foundationsfound cracks and significantdeterioration in the unrein-forced concrete substruc-tures well below the waterlevel that render these sup-ports so fragile that a sud-den collapse could occur.

“Safety was our primaryconcern when we closed theLake Champlain Bridge lastmonth and it is our chief in-terest now,” New York Gov.David Paterson said, an-nouncing the decision totear down the bridge.. “Wemust make a decision thatprotects those who cross thebridge, as well as workersand engineers, and thereforewe have no choice but to teardown the dangerously dete-riorated bridge.”

The bridge is jointlyowned by New York andVermont, although NewYork has responsibility for

bridge maintenance.“Reports indicate that the

bridge is highly unstable andour harsh winter will onlyaggravate its condition,”Vermont Gov. Jim Douglassaid. “For everyone’s safety,the bridge must be disman-tled in a controlled fashionquickly so that a replacementbridge can be erected in itsplace.”

Douglas said both statesare working to install tempo-rary ferry service as close tothe bridge as possible so thatmotorists can once again be-gin crossing Lake Champlainbetween Addison and CrownPoint.

Stanley Gee, acting com-missioner of the New YorkState Department of Trans-portation, said, “Now thatthe analysis is completed andthe bridge has been foundunstable, we can work quick-ly to demolish the existingbridge and accelerate theprocess for building a per-manent replacement. Welook forward to restoring ve-hicle and pedestrian trafficacross the lake. In order topreserve and protect the his-torically and environmental-ly sensitive areas on bothside of Lake Champlain, weplan to build the replacementbridge as close to the existinglocation as is possible.”

Both governors have em-phasized that until a newbridge can be built, a tempo-rary new ferry serviceshould be established asquickly as possible. To thatend, they noted that all ofthe required environmentaldocumentation will be sub-mitted to the appropriatefederal agencies early thisweek, so that construction ofnew ferry docks can begin assoon as possible.

Last month, officials an-

nounced transportation al-ternatives to cross LakeChamplain. Those alterna-tives include a free ferryservice between Ticondero-ga and Shoreham, Vt., aswell as free ferry service atLake Champlain Transporta-tion's ferry service at the Es-sex/Charlotte crossing. Ad-ditionally, a free express busservice now brings com-muters to three major em-ployers in Vermont, while apedestrian ferry service wasestablished north of the LakeChamplain Bridge betweenWestport, New York andBasin Harbor, Vt.

Champlain bridge to be demolished

The Lake Champlain Bridge in Crown Point, closed for a monthbecause of safety concerns, will be demolished. Engineers havedetermined it is not feasible to rehabilitate the 80-year-old span.

A tale of two bridgesAging bridge in St. Armand, rated worse thanCrown Point Bridge, now repaired


BLOOMINGDALE — A local bridge deemed to be in worseshape than the Crown Point Bridge months ago has sincebeen rebuilt.

In May, State Department of Transportation inspectorsgave the bridge on County Route 18, near the center ofBloomingdale, a rating of 3.29 on the department’s 1-to-7scale for condition. That same month, The Crown Pointbridge, which closed Oct. 16 due to structural deterioration,relieved a rating of 3.38.

However, unlike the Crown Point Bridge, the bridge onCounty Route 18 has gotten some much needed attention.The Essex County Department of Public Works began reno-vation of the bridge Sept. 14, and work is nearly finished.

According to DPW deputy superintendent Tony LaVigne,the original bridge had been built in 1965 as a span of threeculverts supported by concrete wailers. In fall of 2008, in-spectors found both the wailers and the culverts had deteri-orated to the point of needing replacement.

The immediate need for attention moved the bridge up onthe department’s list of projects for its five-year plan.

“On that plan, we take the amount of money we have andtry to address the worst few bridges,” said LaVigne. “Thiswas one of the lowest rated bridges on our plan.”

The bridge received a red flag, giving county officials sixweeks to develop a plan for fixing it. Engineers decided toreplace the existing design with a 28-foot clear-span bridgesupported by concrete retaining walls. According to LaVi-gne, the project has cost the county $519,686.

Traffic on the bridge has been limited to one lane duringconstruction. According to County DPW estimates, it han-dles roughly 480 cars per day.

“I’m very happy with replacing it,” said St. Armand su-pervisor Joyce Morency, adding that residents had oftencomplained of their basements flooding because of cloggedculverts on the bridge. “It should certainly help with theplowing of that road,” she said.

Until its replacement, the bridge was one of 100 across thestate that were rated worse than the Crown Point Bridge,which spans roughly 80 times longer and will undoubtedlycost millions to replace.

SARANAC LAKE — The Saranac Lake Village Board ofTrustees opted to turn down a resolution that would havechanged the fiscal year ’s start date from June to January.

The board didn’t officially vote the resolution down be-cause the measure didn’t have the three vote majority to car-ry. But the majority of “no” votes was enough to effectivelykill the bill.

Trustee Christine Fontana had been in favor of the resolu-tion, but last night cited negative feedback she’d receivedfrom numerous residents.

“It’s a hardship on the taxpayer,” she said. “I’m not surethis is going to fly.”

Trustee Susan Waters said the measure would have put aburden on the taxpayers for the convenience of the village.

“As I said the last time we spoke about it, it seems to mewe’re putting a burden on the taxpayers for a convenienceto us that just doesn’t seem all that necessary,” she said. “Itdoesn’t seem like that great a hardship to us.”

For Trustee John McEneany, the main issue that arises due

to the offset fiscal years between the town and village is firecontracts.

“The one item that keeps coming up to the board has al-ways been the fire contracts and the payments being split be-tween two years,” he said. But Village Manager MartyMurphy indicated there was a way to fix that problem.

“In the contracts that are pending, there’s one payment soit’s no longer split,” he said. “Although we don’t receive thepayment until the following six months.”

Trustee Jeff Branch echoed Waters, noting that January isa difficult time of year and it’s unfair to pile village taxes

on top of county and town taxes.Mayor Tom Michael still believes it makes more sense to

change the fiscal year.“The only thing I can say publicly to the folks who think

it’s going to be a hardship is we’re talking about reducinglevels of government, so it’s all going to be there someday,and it’s going to go back to January, not June,” he said.

A second bill that would have established the manner oftax collection for the village was discarded. That measurewould have adopted a new tax payment scheduled had theresolution changing the fiscal year passed.

Supervisor elected to eighth term


BLOOMINGDALE — St. Armand supervisor Joyce Moren-cy easily overcame a rare challenge for her seat and will re-main in office for her eighth term.

Unofficial election results compiled Nov. 3 put Morencyahead of her opponent, Thomas Jones, 361 to 184.

“I’m very, very pleased,” said Morency, “and I appreciatewhat the people of St. Armand did for me with their sup-port. I will do for them what they have done for me and paythem back with my hard work.”

Morency has been supervisor of St. Armand since first be-ing elected in 1981. She has served as chair of the Board ofSupervisors and is one of the longest-tenured officials onthat body.

She has run unopposed in most election years, but faceda challenge this year from Jones, a former school superin-tendent and current town board member.

Morency, having received more than 66 percent of thevote, said her reputation as a staunch conservative likely res-onated with voters in St. Armand, many of whom are strug-gling in the current economy.

“Two to one is a wonderful margin,” she said. “I do knowthat the Democrat party was out strong that day to support[Bill] Owens.”

“We gave it everything we had,” said Jones, noting his at-tempts to reach people door-to-door and through variousforms of media.

“We are proud of the way we conducted my campaign,”he added. “We had a lot of friends who bent over backwardto help us, and that was a rewarding experience.”

Jones, 65, said he will now focus on serving the remainderof his term on the town board and looking to enjoy his re-tirement.

Meanwhile, it’s back to business as usual for Morency.“St. Armand is a great place to live with great people,” she

said, “and I couldn’t be more pleased to receive their sup-port.”

The scarecrow is one of the most familiar figures of therural landscape not only in the United States butthroughout the world — especially during the fall

months. His ragged figure has been recorded in rural historyfor centuries. We think of scarecrows as human-like figuresstuffed with straw, but farmers have invented many differentscarecrows to protect their crops over the years.

Hungry birds have always been a problem for farmers.Birds, such as crows, sometimes ate so much corn or wheatthat farmers did not have enough food to last through the win-ter. So, for more than 3,000 years, farmers have been makingscarecrows. As long as birds are hungry, farmers will still lookfor ways to scare crows!

The first scarecrows in recorded history were placed alongthe Nile River to protect wheat fields from flocks of quail.Egyptian farmers covered wooden frames with fishing nets.The farmers hid in the fields and scared the quail into the nets.Japanese farmers also began making scarecrows to protecttheir rice fields. The farmers hung old rags, meat, and fishbones from bamboo poles in their fields and then set them onfire. The idea was that the smell was so bad that birds, and allother living creatures, stayed far away from the crops. Itshould be no surprise that the Japanese word for scarecrow— kakashis — literally means something that smells bad!

In the United States these days, we view scarecrows more

as a fall decoration. This as-sociation is most likely linkedto successful fall harvest cel-ebrations and the idea thatthe scarecrows helpedachieve a successful harvestsby keeping birds out of thefields. Though modern expe-riences and research hasshown that birds acclimate toscarecrows. Therefore, thetraditional straw-filled scare-crow makes better decorationthan bird deterrent!

The decorative autumnscarecrows come in many shapes and styles. While these fallscarecrows probably aren’t scaring too many crows, they arewelcome, fun, and attractive additions to the fall garden!

One of the country’s leading tobacco companies, R.J.Reynolds, has recently marketed its killer productin the form of candy. Camel Orbs, Camel Strips and

Camel Sticks are marketed in mint and fruit flavors and aresold in colorful stylish boxes. Is there a chance that R.J.Reynolds had children in mind when they chose their seduc-tive marketing strategy?

One of my favorite reads is Joseph Heller ’s anti war book ,“Catch-22.” One of the feature characters is Milo Minderbinder. Milo is a shameless self promoter and profiteer. In or-der to create venture capital, Milo removes and sells theparachutes from American bombers and removes the mor-phine from first aid kits and replaces them with paper sharesin M&M Enterprises. When members of the bomber crewsprotest his actions he tells them, “What is good for M&M En-terprises is good for the country and for you.”

It appears that R.J. Reynolds has taken a page out of MiloMinder binder’s play book. As tobacco sales have been wan-ing and people are smoking less, tobacco companies are find-ing new ways to consume their toxic products. Additionally,they want to cultivate new customers and those new cus-tomers have been educated about the lethality of their prod-ucts.

In my recollection, Milo Minder binder exploited justabout everyone around him except children. Apparently,even this toxic profiteer would not stoop to the despicabledepths of child exploitation. Sadly, tobacco companies ap-pear willing to.

Tobacco candy has the potential to seduce a new genera-tion of users. My generation was seduced by images that pro-jected power and individuality like the “Marlboro Man.”

Perhaps, tobacco companies are hoping that candy fla-vored tobacco will lead children to become adult consumers

of their products when theirpurchasing power is greater.In addition, a child that isseeking another “rush high”such as is found in productssuch as “Red Bull” or otherenergy drinks will find thesame effect from nicotine.

Nicotine is one of the mostaddictive substances, whetherit is smoked, chewed or other-wise consumed. The abuse ofnicotine can lead to danger-ous increases in heart rateand blood pressure.

A new federal law has banned the use of fruit flavored cig-arettes because they were so attractive to children. Unfortu-nately, the ban does not extend to mints or other candy fla-vored products.

While tobacco that is smoked or chewed can easily be de-tected by parents or teachers, minty Camel Orbs will not beso easily detected, if at all. In addition, the product has theappearance of ordinary candy. Children could literally be us-ing dissolvable tobacco products right in front of their par-ents or teachers without anyone noticing.

So far, I am not aware of these products being available inthe Northeast; they are only available in southern, tobaccobelt areas; so far. If market trials prove profitable, tobaccocandy will probably be available everywhere. Remember, allkids count.

Kids Count By Scot Hurlburt

Tobacco Candy?! You’ve got to be kidding!

One of the most common misconceptions aboutcoupons is that the item that you buy mustmatch the picture that appears on the face of the

coupon. It's true that you can use the coupon to purchasethe item that's pictured. However, you want to pay closeattention to the text on a coupon, too. After all, the textcontains the precise information that the coupon's bar codeis programmed to deliver at the checkout counter. Whichbrings us to this week's tip.

Super-Couponing Secret: Forget the Photos,Read the Fine Print

It's a very common marketing technique for a manufac-turer to show a new or more expensive variety of a prod-uct on the face of a coupon in the hope that you will buythis new or more expensive variety. If you read thecoupon, though, you'll discover that the offer is good for"$1 off any [brand] product." Consider a coupon for a newvariety of cold medicine put out by a leading manufactur-er. The coupon may show the new, multi-symptom medi-cine in the picture, hoping that you will want to try it, butthe text states clearly that you can use the coupon on anymedicine from this manufacturer.

Learning to distinguish between what the photo sug-gests and the full terms of the deal that the text actuallyspells out is a skill that can really help shoppers, giving usmore freedom to buy the item we may prefer versus thevariety shown in the photo. I recently had a coupon for anew variety of skin-care product. It showed a photo of thelotion, and the text read "$1 off [brand] lotion, body wash,or any [brand] product." That wording is key! When I did-n't see a good sale for the company's lotions or body wash,I did see a bar of the same brand of soap - for 99 cents.With my coupon, it was free.

Brand-name sandwich meat is an area where it can payto read coupon wording closely. People often ask me howto save at the deli counter. It's not always easy to get dis-counts on fresh-cut cold cuts. But many meat manufactur-ers sell pre-packaged deli meats, too, and there are oftencoupons for those. Look closely at the wording on these

coupons. While the couponmay show a boxed orbagged variety of meat, thewording often spells out awider deal, such as "$1 off 1package of [brand] slicedmeat, or 1lb. of [brand]sliced meats at the deli."These coupons are a greatway to save on fresh-slicedmeats of the same brand atthe deli counter.

Ready for another tip? This one involves brand loyalty.While we all have favorite brands of things, our brand loy-alty can cost us in the long run if we aren't shopping smartfor those favorite-brand items when they're on sale. Majorbrands often engage in what the industry calls "price wars"with one another. We see this frequently with items suchas pasta sauce, where numerous brands compete to sellwhat is essentially the same product. Brand A may becheap one week, but next week Brand B barrels in with aneven lower price. This works out well for shoppers whoaren't particularly partial to any specific brand. But, if wethink "I really like Brand A, and I will always buy it nomatter what," it's great when Brand A is on sale for $1.29 ajar and we've got a 75-cent coupon for it. But when the saleends and Brand A goes back up to $3.29 a jar, we'll be pay-ing the price.

If we can let some of our brand preferences slide a littlebit and fluctuate along with the sales, we can save moremoney in the long run. Next week, I'll share one of thebiggest and most surprising tips with you. It involveswhich days of the week are the least expensive days toshop at the grocery store. You might be surprised to learnwhat they are!

LAKE PLACID — Following numerous requests for ac-tion, the Lake Placid Village Board of Trustees has agreed tohost a public forum to discuss the recent milfoil invasion inParadox Bay and to address the future of the village-ownedboat launch on Victor Herbert Road.

At last week’s board meeting, Lake Placid Shore OwnersAssociation President Mark Wilson expressed frustrationwith the board.

“This is the fifth time that I’ve appeared before you in thefour months since we discovered milfoil on Lake Placid,” hesaid.

“I’ve reported to you on all aspects of the clean up, and atvarious times thrown out proposals for how we can protectLake Placid – specifically the waters in Paradox Bay, goingforward,” Wilson said.

Four months ago, variable leaf milfoil was discovered inParadox Bay. The Shore Owners Association launched aclean up effort, successfully ridding the waters of the inva-sive plant.

But Wilson says that’s not enough. Milfoil – or any host ofother invasive species – could easily return to Lake Placidwithout adequate monitoring.

That, Wilson says, would be disastrous. The lake is a pop-ular recreational destination in the Adirondacks, and is alsothe source of the village’s drinking water.

The Shore Owners have proposed a variety of solutions toprotect Paradox Bay, including the establishment of a stew-ardship program to inspect boats as they enter and leaveLake Placid.

Wilson also suggests gating the launch during time frameswhen a monitor can’t be present.

Another option is allowing only car-top carried boats – ca-noes, kayaks and small row boats. That option would require

boats transported by trailer to be launched at the state De-partment of Environmental Conservation site off MirrorLake Drive.

“This would obviate any need for a monitor since the vastbulk of invasive species are carried either on the trailers orin boats that are carried on trailers,” Wilson said. “That pro-posal would concentrate all of the trailer launch activity towhere we have a monitor on staff.”

But so far, the proposals put forth by the Shore Ownershave been met with inaction, Wilson said.

“Basically, our proposals have been reasonable and re-sponsible,” he said. “To date, and I’m sorry to say this, thereaction of the village board has been to do nothing. We needto take some action so that next summer, when we see traf-fic ramping up again, we can be assured that the lake water– the source of the drinking water for the entire village – isprotected.”

The town of North Elba has said it will help mitigate in-vasive in Lake Placid, but has not yet committed to an exactnumber financially because the council is still wadingthrough the budget for next year.

Trustee and Deputy Mayor Zay Curtis suggested that apublic forum be slated so all sides can discuss the future ofParadox Bay and the village marina. That meeting has notbeen set, but the board is expected to choose a date beforenext Monday’s meeting.

Following last week’s meeting, Wilson said he under-stands the issues surrounding the launch require time to besolved correctly.

“These things take time,” he said. “I’m aware of that. Butat the same time we have to keep putting pressure on theboard to act.”

He added that it would be a huge mistake to do nothingand leave the problem unaddressed – noting that inactioncould usher in another milfoil invasion.

“It takes some time and I hope we’re getting there,” Wil-son said.

SARANAC LAKE — The AdirondackNorth Country Association (ANCA) has ap-pointed Kate Fish of Lake Placid, NY, as itsnew Executive Director.

Fish replaces Terry Martino, who served inthat capacity for nearly two decades beforebecoming Executive Director at the Adiron-dack Park Agency in August. Greg Hill,ANCA’s Interim Executive Director, will re-turn to assisting grassroots-based, commu-nity planning and outreach initiatives forANCA on a regional basis.

“ANCA is delighted and thankful to haveKate Fish assume this crucial position, help-ing to proactively address local issues, re-gional concerns, and emerging opportuni-ties in the Adirondack North Country regionof New York,” said Donald Caldera, ANCAPresident.

“Kate brings a wealth of international andlocal experience to ANCA and we look for-ward to her leading the organization,”Caldera added. “While transitioning opera-tions, she also will maintain continuity ofANCA programs and services familiar tobusinesses, organizations, government offi-cials, and citizens throughout our fourteen-county region,”

ANCA’s leadership, coordination, andsupport endeavors in areas such as ScenicByway corridor planning and marketing,tourism and art and craft industrial devel-opment, natural grazing and direct to con-sumer agriculture, and wood products mar-keting have been hallmarks of the ANCA“brand” for nearly a decade. The recentlycompleted Adirondack Park Regional As-sessment Project is an additional endeavorin which ANCA was a major participant inpartnership with the Adirondack Associa-tion of Towns and Villages.

Fish has worked extensively with Adiron-dack North Country stakeholders since re-turning to the Adirondacks in 2007. Her fam-ily started coming to the region in the 1930s.

Upon relocating to the Adirondack NorthCountry, she started an independent sus-tainability consultancy, building upon herU.S. corporate and international not-for-profit leadership roles. Most recently she has

worked with, and involved people and or-ganizations from across all sectors of the re-gion. Her efforts in leading the develop-ment, coordination and implementation ofmajor conferences at the Wild Center in Tup-per Lake, and follow-up planning to driveeconomic development through improvedenergy efficiency and support for renewableenergy initiatives are significant.

As ANCA’s Executive Director, Fish willbe assuming management of the not-for-profit corporation that since 1954 hasstrengthened the vitality and quality of lifein communities across all of northern NewYork.

ANCA selects new executive director

By Jonathan [email protected]

RAY BROOK — In a surprise move, theAdirondack Park Agency has issued alengthy response to a widely published let-ter to the editor recently authored byAdirondack Local Government ReviewBoard executive director Fred Monroe.

APA spokesman Keith McKeever pennedthe three-page rebuttal and refutes several ofMonroe’s claims – labeling many of them asbold-faced untruths.

“Statements that the state owns or con-trols 75 percent of all the land inside the parkare grossly inaccurate,” McKeever writes.

“Recreational pursuits on state lands helpsustain the outdoor recreational and tourismindustries which have been significant com-ponents of the Adirondack economy sincethe 19th century and represent a major eco-nomic growth opportunity.”

Both sides agree that the state directlyowns about 43 percent of the land inside theBlue Line. But control of private land is a ma-jor point of disagreement.

Monroe and dozens of local officials arguethat when all state easements on privatelands are factored in, the state controls about75 percent of in-park land.

But McKeever uses Monroe’s own dataagainst him, citing the Adirondack Park Re-gional Assessment Project – that was largelysponsored by local governments – and statesthat only six percent of privately ownedlands are under public easement.

“These private lands were previously offlimits to the public for centuries but are or

will become accessible for public recreation-al opportunities motorized and non-motor-ized uses,” McKeever said.

In his letter, Monroe blasts the agency forattempting to reclassify the lands and watersof Lows Lake. He argues that the total banon motorized vehicles in lands under themost restrictive Wilderness designation lim-its use to only the most able-bodied outdoorenthusiasts.

“Wilderness is by its very definition is noteasily accessible and is intentionally man-aged to provide important opportunities forsolitude and remoteness,” McKeever said.

Local officials have long argued that thatstate’s ever-increasing amount of publiclyowned land is limiting the ability of thepark’s communities to remain economicallyviable, while simultaneously limiting accessto state lands to only certain kinds of out-door activities popular among specific de-mographics.

For his part, McKeever doesn’t agree withthis interpretation or Monroe’s representa-tion of land-use data.

“Last year, the agency rendered a SLMPinterpretation that actually allows for thepotential increase of snowmobile trailmileage by 15 percent over current levels,”he said. “There is an ongoing need for accu-rate representation of the facts, regardless ofopinions, to facilitate a positive and con-structive dialogue to ensure outcomes thatare beneficial to the Adirondack Park’s peo-ple, communities and environment.”

The agency Board of Commissioners is ex-pected to vote on the Lows Lake reclassifi-cation this coming Friday.

APA rebuts Monroe criticism


Despite the fact that hu-mans beings have evolvedinto a civilized society overthe course of thousands ofyears; we are still consideredto be the apex predators onthis planet.

For untold millenniums,human beings functionedthrough the evolutionaryprocess in the role of‘hunters and gatherers’.Subsistence depended uponwhat could be caught orgathered from the water andthe land. This process wasaccomplished while simultaneously avoid-ing being caught or eaten by the some of thevery species being hunted.

Until humans attained the capacity foragriculture, the survival of our species de-pended upon fine tuning the skills of ournatural, predatory abilities.

The development of agriculture was es-sential to the development of civilizations.Once humans learned to raise food, theyrapidly lost the natural ability to hunt.

In his biophilia hypothesis, Harvard Uni-versity professor E.O. Wilson described thisnature heritage in an effort to better under-stand the human need for nature.

Professor Wilson theorized that despitethe fact that humans no longer function astrue hunter/gatherers; we remain focusedon the natural world. We are attracted to

green spaces and we need theoutdoors. It is in our genes!

I believe the best proof ofWilson’s theory is evidentwhen a toddler first picks upa stick. Although the childmay never have seen a gun ora spear before, there is oftenan innate response thatmakes the child point thestick as if it were a weapon.

The same situation occurswhen a little boy gets his firstb-b gun. There is a certain,inexplicable draw that makeshim point the gun at the first

bird to fly by or the first frog to jump. It’s areaction that occurs across geographic, cul-tural and economic boundaries. Where doesit come from if not a hunting instinct in ourgenes?

Despite this ingrained hunter/gathererheritage; man has become a civilized crea-ture. Many of us have lost these once vitalsenses. Many humans no possess a naturalsense of direction, a keen sense of hearing orsmell. Some have purposely ‘tuned out’these senses to block the bombardment ofsensory overload that prevails in the mod-ern world. However,through the long, evolutionary process, oursenses have also atrophied from the lack ofuse. The keen senses that once protected hu-mans from danger and insured our survivalare no longer necessary because modern

man gathers more and hunts less. Few of ususe our senses strictly for hunting purposesanymore.

However, the most successful huntersconcentrate on utilizing their natural sens-es. In the natural environment, our sensesare stimulated and exercised. As a result,senses become sharper and keener and webegin to hear, taste and smell better. Thismay even explain why food always tastesbetter in camp.

For deer hunters, a constant awareness ofscents, sounds and sights is key to success.Despite the fact that ‘scent, scent free andno-scent’ products have become a mini-in-dustry within the hunting products indus-try; hunters spend little time concentratingon their own sensory awareness skills.

Try a few simple exercises to illustrate thepoint. Shut your eyes and listen to the wind.Take a few deep breaths and smell the air tosee if you can taste it. Crumple a leaf andlisten closely to the sound.

When one sense shuts down, others willcompensate for the loss. When you can’t see,you’ll hear better; you’ll feel the wind onyour cheek and smell the mustiness of au-tumn’s decay.

In the blackness of an early morning’swatch, a hunter may hear every twig snap.But once the sun is is up, the sensory con-centration focuses on what we can see ratherthan what we hear or smell.

The most successful hunters are those thatcan tune-in to the hunt. They have learnedto process the scents, sights, sounds, tasteand textures of the woods and to tune outthe nonessential attractions.

Whitetail deer utilize scents constantly.They use them for protection, for feeding

and for breeding. A deer ’s nose provides it’sgreatest protection. It can pick up a scent ata distance of a quarter of a mile.

Successful hunters are those that possessa greater sensory awareness of themselvesand their quarry.

Vermont moose season endsVermont’s moose hunting season finished

on November 1 for the 2009 season. It wasthe state’s 17th moose hunting season inmodern times, the first occurring in 1993when 30 permits were issued and 25 moosewere taken by hunters.

According to Fish and Wildlife officials apreliminary count shows that 516 moosewere taken with 1,230 hunting permits is-sued for the 2009 season.

David Godfrey of Holland, Vt shot theheaviest moose this year while hunting inCharleston on October 21. Godfrey’s 965 lbbull moose also is the second heaviest evershot in Vermont.

hunt and fish if they have a parent whohunts and fishes. However, research revealsthat only 25 percent of youths from huntinghouseholds are active hunters.

Hunter’s out of their senses

LAKE PLACID — The State Employees Federated Ap-peal is currently being conducted across the North Coun-try. The annual campaign targets state employees andprovides them with an opportunity to pledge contribu-tions to a wide variety of local, national and interna-tional charities.

The United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties Inc. co-ordinates the SEFA campaign in Clinton, Essex, Franklinand Hamilton counties. The campaign is overseen andoperated by a regional SEFA committee comprised ofrepresentatives from state agencies, state facilities,unions and management from throughout the four coun-ties.

The committee recently nominated Ken White, a mar-keting assistant at the Olympic Regional DevelopmentAuthority and member of the regional committee, to winthe Governor ’s Award for his outstanding work on thecampaign.

“I couldn’t have won this award without the supportof everyone at ORDA and my colleagues on the SEFACommittee,” White said.

The annual award is granted to individuals or groupswho demonstrate outstanding commitment and dedica-tion to advancing the SEFA campaign within their re-gion.

“Ken has helped create an opportunity to recognizethat ORDA is part of a bigger puzzle and that we are ded-icated to the community and to the entire region,” saidORDA chief executive officer Ted Blazer.

The last Governor ’s Award was granted to Mary Vann,Cheryl Constanty and Maxine Brooks of the Clinton Cor-rectional Facility. There are approximately 8,326 stateemployees in the four-county area. Last year, the SEFAcommittee was successful in raising $197,054.50 amongstate employees for participating charities and federa-tions.

Wayne Rabideau, an employee at Altona CorrectionalFacility and member of the Public Employee FederationUnion, said “state employees in this area are very gen-erous and caring people and our committee does a greatjob raising much needed dollars for important purpos-es.”

“Ken White is a great example of this,” added Ra-bideau, who also serves as the committee chair andloaned executive for the campaign.

This year, the committee, which also includes repre-sentatives from charities, is hoping to raise more than$200,000.

ESSEX COUNTY — A couple of Election Day up-sets last week could reshape the future of the Es-sex County Board of Supervisors.

The board’s deputy chairman – Essex Town Su-pervisor Ron Jackson – is facing an impending de-feat to challenger Sharon Boison when the re-maining ballots are counted later this week.

As of Monday, Boison led Jackson 153 to 139,with 50 absentee votes yet to be counted. An in-dependent, Boison is new to the political scene,having never before held public office.

Schroon Lake Supervisor Cathy Moses is cur-rently finishing up her term as Chairwoman of theBoard – and the heir-apparent for the leadershipof the board – which will be decided by supervi-sors in January – is now up for grabs.

Observers of Essex County politics have labeledMoriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava – a Republican– the frontrunner for the chairmanship now thatJackson will likely be absent.

Although there will still be an overwhelmingRepublican majority in January, the GOP caucuswill lose two seats when compared to its currentform.

The board will now be composed of 10 Repub-licans, six Democrats and two Independents, withthe Democratic and Independent supervisors see-ing their ranks swell by one seat each.

Along with Jackson, Republican Crown PointSupervisor Dale French suffered a surprising 354to 308 loss to Democrat Bethany Kosmider.

Minerva stayed in Democratic hands as countyDemocratic Committee Chairwoman Sue Mont-gomery Corey outlasted Republican challengerDave LaBar.

In an interesting twist, outgoing Democratic Su-pervisor Mike McSweeney had endorsed the Re-publican LaBar over Corey.
