Spooky screenings to benefit Palace Theater

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID Ñ For many, the thought of Lake Placid without a movie theater brings chills to the spine.

To help save the historic theater as part of the Ò Go Digital or Go DarkÓ Campaign, a pair of films will be shown at the end of this month to help set the mood for the Halloween season and build up the funds needed to convert the Palace Theater movie screens from 35mm film to digital.

Theater owners Reg and Barbara Clark said the fundraiser has had its share of ups and downs with the business now able to take a major step forward. Ò Our 1926 original downstairs theater screen saw its last ‘first-run’ movie projected using 35mm film,” the Clarks said

in a statement. Ò When we re-open this theater, it will be with digital projection.

We were able to order this equipment because donations were made directly to the Palace and were placed in a special ‘digital’ account. The other half, $31,000, will be paid from the online credit card donations and those made through the Adirondack North Country Association (ANCA).Ó The donations have put the theater Ò halfway there.Ó Ò We again thank everyone and ask for your continued donations to help keep our business a viable one,Ó the Clarks said. Ò Please support us with your attendance even though we may have limited movie choices after the end of the year when film ceases to be produced.”

The first fundraiser, to be held Halloween night at the Palace, will be a showing of the 1920 version of “Dr. Jekyll and Mr.

Hyde,” starring John Barrymore. The silent film will be accompanied by Jeff Barker, who will play the theater’s organ during the screening. The Adirondack Film Society is hosting the event. For more details, visit adirondack.org.

The theater is also joining with ANCA and the Lake Placid Center for the Arts for a screening of Ò GhostbustersÓ at LPCA Nov. 1.

Light refreshments will be included, along with a few Ò retro surprises,Ó with a family-friendly matinee at 4 p.m. ($10 for adults, $6 for kids) and a Flashback party and screening at 7 p.m. ($25 includes pre-movie party with food and drink).

Tickets can be purchased at the LPCA box office and at the door the night of the event. All proceeds to benefit the Palace’s digital conversion fund.

Hurricane and St. Regis Mountain fire towers to get facelift

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Four years after recommending its removal, the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is seeking to improve the Hurricane Mountain fire tower.

DEC staff members have drafted a Unit Management Plan (UMP) that calls for the fire tower to be repaired for Ò Public Access and CommunicationsÓ use.

Under the plan, the tower would be maintained for full public access and include written interpretive materials that would be, Ò informative but not intrusive.Ó The UMP also calls for a strong volunteer presence at the site to oversee safety, usage and maintenance. Ò The Department would enter into an agreement with a volunteer organization to be present during higher-use periods for the purpose of educating the public and monitoring use of the unit,Ó the plan states. Ò Volunteers would also be sought to assist with opening the tower for public use as well as the longterm maintenance of the tower.Ó The plan calls for a permanent radio repeater to be installed in the cab of the tower. According to a press release, the recommendations are part of promoting tourism and preserving the historic building. Ò As Gov. Cuomo continues his commitment to spur tourism, the release of these draft unit management plans is another step in ensuring these historically significant resources will be enjoyed for many generations

Hurricane Mountain fire tower to come,” said DEC Commissioner Joe Martens in the release. “Throughout the 20th century, fire towers played a critical role in the protection of New York state’s natural resources, and resuming maintenance of these structures for

St. Regis Mountain fire tower educational purposes will attract travelers and provide the public a better appreciation of that legacy.Ó The chosen path for DEC is one of six management options: no action, tower removal,

minimal maintenance, public access only, communications only and public access and communications.

In 2010, DEC officials proposed the tower be removed because it was identified as a non-conforming structure under the State Land Master Plan (SLMP) as part of the Hurricane Mountain Primitive Area. However, members of the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) Board of Commissioners came to the rescue of the fire towers at that time by classifying the half-acre space at the peak of Hurricane as a historic area. At the same time, they changed the classification of the Hurricane Mountain unit from primitive to wilderness.

The DEC also made the same recommendation for the St. Regis Mountain fire tower, which also received the historic site designation in 2010. The halfacre site there is surrounded by the St. Regis Canoe Area. Both units are part of the state-owned Forest Preserve.

The DEC is accepting comments on the draft UMPs for both sites until Nov. 15. Comments may be sent to Josh Clague, Natural Resources Planner, DEC, 625 Broadway - 5th Floor, Albany, N.Y. 12233-4254; or emailed to lfadk@gw.dec. state.ny.us.

The plans are available for review at DEC headquarters in Albany and DEC Region 5 headquarters in Ray Brook (1115 State Route 86).

CDs of the plan will also be available at the Town of Keene offices and online at http:// www.dec.ny.gov/lands/78001.html.

Janeway talks about ‘State of the Park’ with Denton board

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Adirondack Council Executive Director Willie Janeway met with members of the Denton Publications Editorial Board Oct. 17 to talk about current issues a day after the environmental group released its annual State of the Park report.

Members of the Denton staff were Managing Editor John Gereau, Assistant Managing Editor Andy Flynn, Times of Ti Editor Fred Herbst and Valley News Editor Keith Lobdell. They asked Janeway questions about the plan, and the following are his answers.

Editorial Board: You said you support Prop 4 and Prop 5 on the ballot because they follow the Adirondack Council’s criteria for land swaps. What is that criteria?

Willie Janeway: There are really six points to our criteria for a land swap. The lands that came out cannot be critical or unique ecologically. The lands coming in should be ecologically superior to the land that is going out. It should not establish a precedent. There should be a specific use. It should be for an important community benefit, and you do not have a community if you do not have jobs. Also, it has to be a win-win for the Forest Preserve and for the community.

He added, Ò NYCO has been challenging and we have not always seen eye-to-eye, but we laid out our principles and said if you meet these, then we will support it. It is going to be a big lift because people see it as a land sale for $1 million. I wish it were called the Jay Mountain Wilderness Expansion Proposition instead because that is a more representative title.Ó EB: One of your consistent Ò thumbs downÓ themes concerned the changing of the DEC permit allowing Essex County to begin work on Little Whiteface before a study on the Bicknell’s thrush mating patterns was completed. Why was that a concern?

WJ: The concern was more about the process, and the issue was the last-minute modification of the permit. Everyone had come together, and we thought there was a deal. What happened then undermines the ability of everyone to come together.

EB: What are ways to secure infrastructure within the Park without tampering with the natural habitat?

WJ: We have gone into Jay and looked at the buyouts and talked about specific things that we as a Council will say, these are things that you will not have to worry about us commenting on. When community groups and environmentalists go to Albany and they go together, it turns heads.

EB: You give a Ò thumbs upÓ to a merger between two school districts. Is that something you support throughout the park?

WJ: We believe communities should talk with each other and look for opportunities to share services. We also realize there is a narrow set of communities, and the distances are long in the park and the schools are a focal part of the communities. We want to facilitate and offer support for these kinds of conversations.

EB: Is there a responsible way to create a series of connected snowmobile trails to maintain and promote the industries’ importance to the economy?

WJ: I hope so. I can stay optimistic about this. We have been very public that even though we sued the state over the Unit Management Plan, we do support the idea of connected trails. You manage wilderness, but you do not just lock it up and set it aside. I think that we can find places for communities where we can connect.

EB: The whole locals versus downstate thing, what do you tell local residents when they ask, Ò Whose park is this, anyway?Ó WJ: It’s everybody’s. It belongs to all of the people of the state, and the residents of the park have a special position. As residents, they get the benefits of living in a place with clean water and clean air, but there are responsibilities and obligations that come with that as well.

EB: How do you balance the needs of public use and conservation in the Essex Chain Lakes?

WJ: For me, the stronger economic future for the park and the communities is in protecting those natural resources that people want to come and see. When you open it to the public, the challenge is that the state has not been very good at saying OK, there’s only this many people allowed to go in there. We wanted to try and come down with a very balanced approach.

EB: What do you see as the vision for the Park, short term and long term?

WJ: My hope would be if we can focus on what the Park should look like in 2050, and then work backwards from that, it is going to be a lot easier to resolve the next round of questions. What is the real vision here and how do we make some bigger changes? The politics always drives you to smaller, incremental changes, but if you just do that, the Adirondack Park continues to struggle economically and environmentally.

EB: What is the biggest challenge facing the Adirondack Park?

WJ: Missing the opportunity that we now have and if politics or ideology will get in the way of caring about the park. If we can’t, we will have missed a chance to finish the park in a way that works for everyone. I think that Gov. Andrew Cuomo is really concerned about moving the park forward. He likes it up here and he does not ignore the Adirondacks. With this governor, there is an opportunity that has not existed for years.

EB: What are the main themes to the report?

WJ: The theme of this report is people are now talking and working together. There are a lot of successes, but they are moderate. If we can have these discussions and disagreements yet still talk and work together, it shows how much the Adirondack community has changed. At one of the first meetings I attended, a person started talking about being upset over the APA boathouse restrictions and I thought, Ò Here we go with a get rid of the APA rant.Ó But at the end of his statement, he asked if we could help him work with them to change these. That was refreshing.

Adirondack Council Executive Director Willie Janeway makes a point while Denton Publications Managing Editor John Gereau looks over the Council’s newly released 2013 State of the Park report.

Proposed land swaps make sense

By Teresa Sayward

Retired NYS Assemblywoman

I

write this to encourage everyone to VOTE YES on two very important Constitutional Amendments. The proposed Amendments will appear on the back of the ballot on Election Day as Proposition 4 and Proposition 5.

Proposition 4:

State Agencies, Senator Little, Adirondack Council, Adirondack Mountain Club, Residents Committee to Protect the Adirondacks and the Chair of Hamilton County’s Board of Supervisors and I worked together to resolve this longstanding title dispute issue in Hamilton County.

Over the years both NY State and the people engaged in lawsuits attempting to resolve titles with mixed results. This process is costly and time consuming. The land in question has been occupied for over 100 years. The Fire Company, school properties and private businesses have contested titles.

Clearly, the land is neither forest preserve nor is it private property. The Legislature concluded that it is equitable and appropriate for the state to relinquish their claim and in exchange the people will make payment to the state and the state will purchase and incorporate hundreds of acres of pristine land into the forest preserve.

The Legislature found that the title disputes constitute a unique situation found nowhere else in New York State. This dispute dates back to the 1800’s and is supported by

both Environmental Groups and State Agencies.

Proposition 5:

State Agencies, Adirondack Environmental Groups, NYCO, Senator Little and I worked collectively to resolve this important economic issue.

NYCO’s mineral at Oak Hill will be exhausted soon. NYCO operates in the Town’s of Willsboro and Lewis, providing employees with good wages, medical and retirement benefits. Employees are volunteer fire fighters, EMT’s, soccer coaches, and their children attend our school. NYCO provides critical tax revenue to local governments and school districts, reducing the tax burden of taxpayers. NYCO does business with businesses from Plattsburgh to Albany. NYCO supports not-for-profit organizations and our local communities.

Adirondack Communities depend on tourism. That’s good, but if you don’t own the business you make minimum wage. NYCO provides over 100 jobs countywide.

The State will allow NYCO to take 200 acres for mining purposes. In return for the temporary use of this land, NYCO will give the State Forest Preserve 1,500 acres. Everyone will benefit from the addition of this new Forest Preserve land. The Amendment is in keeping with the original intent of the Adirondack Park Act which is to balance environmental protection with economic need.

Both State Agencies and the two major Adirondack Environmental Groups support this Amendment.

QUICK VIEW STATEWIDE PROPOSITIONS •Proposition 1: Authorizing Casino Gaming •Proposition 2: Additional Civil Service Credit for Veterans with Disabilities Certified Post-Appointment •Proposition 3: Exclusion of Indebtedness Contracted for Sewage Facilities •Proposition 4: Settling Disputed Title in the Forest Preserve •Proposition 5: In Relation to a Land Exchange in the State Forest Preserve with NYCO Minerals, Inc. •Proposition 6: Increasing Age until which Certain State Judges Can Serve

Bad times, arrogance and pride To the Valley News: I would like to applaud Essex County for the action they have taken to seize horses and prosecute Shelly Wing. Forty horses suffering and now one dead! Furthermore, I want to state that I disagree with the plea and concerns expressed

by Joanne Curtis that was reported by the Adirondack Daily Enterprise to have been made to the board. Curtis stated that she did not consider Wing to be a criminal, just a person who had fallen on bad times.

Bad times are producing animal cruelty cases all across the country. However, bad times should never allow anyone to impose suffering on defenseless animals. Arrogance and pride have their influence in most of these cases, not ignorance! Frequently, we hear, Ò I loved them some much that I could not get rid of them.Ó Yet, seldom do we hear about the owners seeking help over the prolonged period that the animals were allowed to famish and suffer. Any person capable of some form of love could not see their animals endure to such ends.

The ADE also reported that Curtis told them livestock owners throughout the area and around the country are under stress, and many are facing situations like this, she said.

“They aren’t criminals,” she said. “They’re people just trying to hang on.Ó This really makes me sick! I owned and ran a retail business for ten years. That is like saying, when times were

Letters to the Editor

tough, mugging someone for money would be ok!

If someone chooses to own an animal they have a responsibility to do the right thing, tough times or not!

I applaud all those who have taken action in this situation, and I do hope that if others are out there inadequately providing care to an animal that someone does intervene.

Is land needed?

To the Valley News: There has been much written about the upcoming decision to the voters about the Land Swap with the State of New York and NYCO Minerals. Hardly a mention has been made of the Oak Hill Mine in Lewis, almost adjacent to the Seventy Mine. What is missing is the fact that the Oak Hill site was permitted: project 96-76 June 12, 1998. Statements were made and assurances given that NYCO would be moving it’s operations to the Oak Hill site by the year 2000. Therefore, in good faith, the citizens, Residents for Responsible Mining (RRM), NYCO, The Adirondack Council, RCPA, and other involved organizations participated in an Adjudicated Public Hearing held by the Adirondack Park Agency in Ray Brook.

These hearings took about two years preparation, expert witnesses, thousands of dollars, hundreds of hours, and intense negotiations with attorneys and officials. These efforts were

rewarded with very workable and acceptable Permit Conditions for ALL. This included air quality monitoring, water quality in the streams, private water well monitoring, noise decibel levels, blasting controls, hours of operation, trucking routes, etc.

Will these conditions be applied to this new expansion?

The Seventy Road mine has none of these reasonable conditions in place, and I have seen a previous expansion within a year of the Oak Hill permit. The Oak Hill site has it’s own access road and has only been used for extracting Ò cap rockÓ for Graystone (Graymont?) - gravel. How much reclamation has occurred since 1982 at Seventy Road Mine?

It may well be that this swap is indeed a good idea, but people should know the facts, details and make decisions based on reality and consequences. NYCO Minerals does NOT need more land to continue it’s operations and viability. They already have a new mine. The very same claims were made to increase the Seventy Road operations in 1998.

Therefore the north country is NOT in peril of losing a major employer, nor is NYCO in danger of collapse. What will be the governing Permit? There are not great numbers of residents that will be affected, but do they have a voice? And what are the long-effects to not only the citizens, but the Adirondack Park and it’s environment??

Happy Birthday, FC-CCE

By Rick LeVitre

C

ornell Cooperative Extension of Franklin County, the County Association, a 501c3 legal entity by state statute, celebrates 100 years of existence this year.

I used to think 100 years was an eternity. Now that I have passed the 50 year mark (and then some!) I recognize I have lived through a good portion of those years of change. And change it has been. County agents, home dem agents, and 4-H agents that have contributed so much to the citizens of the county. Now we call the staff Ò EducatorsÓ in tune with the work they do. And agriculture encompasses so much from traditional dairy cow farms to non-dairy livestock, all sorts of plantings, rural economic development to agritourism. 4-H still works in the wide arena of youth development. The 4-H Club is still very strong and a mainstay of CCE youth development education; however,

afterschool and specialty projects like shooting sports and robotics are growing in interest and numbers.

Some of the readers will remember with fondness the Home Demonstration clubs that were led by women agents to teach homemaking skills for better rural living.

Today Family and Consumer Science professionals teach food nutrition, safety, and budgeting and life skills.

And sometimes Ò what goes around, comes aroundÓ as in the case of food preservation which is increasingly a sought after program. In the area of food safety, a lot has been learned and preserving one’s produce has changed significantly.

Many great individuals have worked out of the Franklin County CCE office over the years. All were consummate professionals who Ò walked the talkÓ and devoted their lives to bring research based education from the land grant system at Cornell University to the people.

Dairy agents who helped grow the dairy industry in

the county. 4-H agents who live in the minds of hundreds of adults today, that were the 4-Hers of yesterday. Devoted individuals, who had a vision of a residential youth summer camp, and literally built and ran 4-H Camp Overlook.

Scattered shots Rocky Mountain high

GRIZ! I

Photo by Rich Redman

pulled in the driveway in Moriah this past Saturday evening after nearly three weeks on the road. Four of us did a stint in Colorado, where we were involved with an elk hunt and a trout-fishing journey.

We embraced the beauty in the high plains of the Rocky Mountain range country. Elk and mule deer were spotted browsing and grazing on the brush and grasses, while brook and rainbow trout swam in the Forks of the South Platte River. Sharp peaked 14,000By Rich Redman foot mountains and air as thin as the sheen of ice on the beaver ponds greeted us on the 10-degree mornings. It’s good to be back where the air is as thick as porridge and breathing is easy! I love the west, but the green Adirondacks welcomed me home.

One of my traveling compadres has traveled the world hunting for elk, bear, mountain lion and Cape buffalo. He told me his story, but I can’t share it all. As the reader, you need to drift off in the story the way I did. You need to read it firsthand to appreciate the adventure, the beauty of the story and the beast involved.

Fran — whose radio handle is “fleabag” — had an adventure in Montana that most hunters would not survive. He was attacked by a grizzly bear.

Fran George’s book is called, “Intruding on a Killer.” The story takes you to Montana, bow hunting for elk in the high country, back packing in gear, and a tale about wranglers and cowboys helping fellow hunters get a wounded man out to safety. You will enjoy this tale of survival.

With deer and bear season under way, I thought a few good books about bears would be appropriate.

The second book is by another fellow hunter and friend, John “Jack” Harris. The book, titled “Beyond my Wildest Dreams” is about Jack’s life working with black bears while employed with the Pennsylvania Game Commission, as a guide in Alaska and his hunting exploits dealing with whitetails, brown bears, and African safaris, hunting kudu, impalas, and Cape buffalo. Wild safaris, guerilla warfare in Rhodesia and West German G-3 automatic weapons are all entangled in Jack’s hunting stories.

Jack tells about fishing in Ecuador, Canada, scuba diving, sharks and even fishing on our own lake Ontario.

Both of these books are written by guys who have lived the dream and still do to this moment. They write about hunting and the taking of game, but more importantly they talk about family, the beauty of nature and life and death. Both men volunteer with community programs; the fire department and the Red Cross. Givers, not takers!

Many city people think hunters are takers and only think about killing. Hunting is as natural to mankind as watching a sun set or the full moon coming up over a grassy meadow where cattle graze. I got to live the natural life these past few weeks glassing the mountains while standing on South Peak; a 12,500-foot barren peak above the tree line. I was Rocky Mountain high.

Hunting season is upon us now, so go forth and enjoy the season, stay safe and when the winter winds blow hard and the woodstove is humming out a smoky song, sit back and enjoy these two books by friends of mine. You will enjoy their adventures.

Conservation

Conversations

Willow Hackett, a true wild child, shows off a nice fall brookie.

I

recently discovered some sage advice scribbled on the log wall of a local lean-to. Written in a neat, charcoal script, it read, Ò Welcome to the Adirondacks: May neither drought nor rain nor blizzard disturb the joy juice in your gizzard!

And may you camp where the winds won’t hit ya, and the bears won’t gitcha.Ó The muzzleloader season for whitetails will be coming to an end this week, and the regular big game funting season will begin this Saturday, Oct. 26.

Following the warm weather we’ve experienced to date, most hunters would welcome a bit of tracking snow about now.

There’s been no need for longjohns or woolies as it’s still mighty brown in the woods, where the deer blend right in.

By the look of things, there may be some interesting times ahead for the next generation of hunting enthusiasts.

Recently, I was reviewing comments posted on a popular hunting website, and I was disappointed to see the NYSDEC was again getting bashed for the decision to host another youth deer weekend across the state.

The annual youth hunting weekend was scheduled for the long Columbus Day Holiday last week. By all reports, it was a major success.

According to the Youth Hunt regulations, 14- to 15-year-old junior hunters who are accompanied by a licensed, adult mentor are permitted to harvest one deer with a firearm, with or without antlers.

It’s a real shame that some sportsmen again choose to oppose the opportunity for a Youth Hunt. Their complaints punctuate the greed of certain hunters who simply fail to understand the importance of mentoring the next generation.

Their efforts in opposition were both selfish and greedy, and their commentary provided a sad note to an otherwise positive effort that is intended to help grow the sport and introduce youth to the outdoors.

In this day and age, hunters simply can’t afford to be so parochial. There is too much territory available to the public for anyone to be so territorial. Whitetail deer are abundant all across the state, especially in the Southern Tier.

There’s no need for the greed.

Life skills

Last year, when the DEC first introduced the special Youth Deer Hunt weekend, it was considered a great marketing effort. In a business sense, DEC was building a new base of customers, and in the process, the department was protecting our natural resources in the best possible way.

Although statistics indicate it may be a bit late to begin initiating 14- or 15-year-olds to a new sport, it is better late then never. But it isn’t just a sport; it’s a life skill.

Numerous studies have revealed the ideal time to introduce youth to such lifelong recreational pursuits as skiing, fishing or hunting is somewhere between 4th and 5th grade, or ages 10 to 12.

Life skills educators recognize the propensity for pursuing life skills development begins to drop off significantly during their teenage years, when kids usually have other pursuits in mind. Been there, done that.

In many western states, including Colorado and

Montana, all of the local ski resorts provide free skiing for every 4th grader in the state. The purpose is to get the kids hooked on skiing early.

Research indicates that if they don’t learn to ski by the 4th grade, chances are they’ll never become lifelong skiers. Research indicates the same strategy is even more vital when it comes to growing anglers, hunters, paddlers, bikers, hikers, etc., where mentorship is often the key.

Unlike team sports, which require officials, a playing field and a large number of participants, life skills are activities that can be pursued individually or with friends, in the local area, at little cost, for life. No time clocks, no refs, no uniforms and no whistles; just good clean fun.

Mentors needed

The lack of a formal introduction, and/or an accomplished mentor to provide one, is likely one of the main reasons for the declining interest in many outdoor pursuits.

It is usually much easier, and often more comfortable for kids to just play inside with video games or surf the web.

This is the indoor generation, tethered by an electric cord to run their electronic devices.

It takes quite a bit more effort to get them to go outside to hunt, ski, fish, paddle, hike or bike. It also helps if they have a mentor to help with these activities, initially.

Fortunately, the DEC has come to realize the need to increase the pool of the next generation of outdoor travelers, or they may soon be out of business.

Any hunter who would oppose such efforts has likely spent too much time swimming in the shallow end of the gene pool.

Rich Redman is a retired District Conservationist for the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and an avid outdoorsman. His column will appear regularly. He may be reached at rangeric@nycap.rr.com.

Valuable resources

It is a simple thread to follow. If our youth do not know how to effectively utilize their local natural resources, there will be no connection. Without a positive connection, there will be no perceived value, and thus no need for protection.

A resource, whether it’s natural or man-made, is only of value to those who use it, or admire it, or see a need to preserve it. Certainly there is an ecological, and an aesthetic value to the land, but there is also a utilitarian value.

If the trout were not valued, there would be no need to stock them. The local lakes and ponds could easily revert to fisheries with bass, sunnies, perch or similar species.

If trails were not cut, where would people go to hike or ski?

And what would become of the tourist sportsmen and women who regularly travel north to fish, swim or ski. And what of the hotels that lodge them, or the restaurants where they chose to dine?

And what would the Adirondacks look like without whitetail deer, a speckled trout or the lone paddler enjoying an even lonelier pond?

A lot like suburbia I reckon, except with more pines, less noise, plenty of blackflies, and far fewer neighbors!
