NORTH CREEK — The town of Johnsburg’s tentative 2014 budget calls for a tax increase of about 3 percent, which is under the allowable 3.8 percent granted by the state, and town leaders will hold a budget hearing at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7 at the Wevertown Community Center. Johnsburg Town Supervisor Ron Vanselow calls this a “pretty straightforward” budget. His goal for the budget this year was to continue directing funds,
and increasing them when possible, to priority segments of town spending. “I’m gradually trying to reallocate funds and spend them where it looks like we need to, like bringing up the highway and some of those budget lines,” Vanselow said. “And I’m trying to devote more resources to working on town property and our building.” The overall town budget spending, including special districts, is $2,883,722. That includes $2,355,079 for the townwide funds: General, $1,108,999; Highway, $1,174,280; and Library, $71,800. Plus, it includes three special districts: North Creek Water, $125,000; North Creek Fire, $157,061; and Johnsburg Fire,
$246,582. The total amount to be raised by taxes is $1,383,142. That includes $1,018,249 for the townwide General, Highway and Library funds; and $364,893 for the two fire districts. There aren’t any big-ticket items for 2014, but there is money to give raises to some of the Town Hall employees, according to Vanselow. The supervisor ($23,289) and town council members ($4,147 each) will not be getting raises. The other salaries for elected officials are: $12,720 for justice; CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Couple sets up two businesses in Indian Lake
By Bill Quinlivan
newsenterprise@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE Ñ There seems to be a growing list of new businesses in Indian Lake. The latest of these are two headed-up by the husband and wife team of Dave and Kim Ameden. Both are located at the Intersection of Routes 28 and 30 on the corner directly across Rt. 28 from Pines Store. Both businesses share a showroom in the building.
Dave Ameden Floor Care
Dave started his career in the flooring business in 1987, working for Pete Hutchins’ floor care business. Dave built the foundations for his expertise during those 5 to 6 years of working for Hutchins until he was moved by the entrepreneurial spirit to go out on his own. Dave opened his first floor care business in Speculator and built it into a success. He eventually sold the business and is now filling the void Pete Hutchins’ passing has left. As the only flooring company in Hamilton County Dave is fully focused on the new Indian Lake operation. Dave Ameden Floor Care offers a full line of floor coverings through the showroom on Routes 28 and 30 including the sale, installation, maintenance and renovation of ceramic tile, hardwood flooring, laminates, vinyl and carpet. Dave makes a specific point of the fact that his services include carpet cleaning, hardwood floor sanding and refinishing, commercial floor maintenance and restoration of floor-

ing after water remediation. Beyond flooring, the company also custom designs and installs many tile showers. “We can design and build showers of any size and shape using different tiles and inserts. Many are designed to include all sorts of built-ins and types of seatingÑ something the ladies like to have when shaving their legs,” remarks Ameden. Currently the floor care business employees one person, Kenney Walters, in addition to Dave. “We are pretty busy right now, but as any new business we have to be very careful with the timing of expansion. We are going to try
to get through the winter with the current staffing and perhaps in the spring of 2014 have the business to a point that we could comfortably carry some additional employees.” In that regard, Dave is now beginning to reestablish old relationships with contacts from his previous Speculator business. When asked where most of his business comes from, Dave highlights the importance of having good relationships with local contractors and that a good amount of his business is generated by word-of-mouth references from happy customers. Dave can be reached via his hard line at (518) 648-5717; his cell (518) 524-7213 and by e-mail: daveamedenfloorcare@gmail.com. The flooring showroom is open from Monday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Kim’s Country Corner
Gifts, primitives and home dŽ cor are the focus of this new resource for warming up a home. Kim Ameden’s business shares the showroom with Dave’s floor care business, making the opportunity to get decorative ideas and purchase items that enhance the home
along with the flooring. Currently, the inventory focuses on primitives such as stands, shelves, pictures, florals, candles and plates. The items are displayed around the showroom offering design ideas to those visiting. There are plans for expansion into other offerings such as local handcrafted items as the business grows, but physical room is the current limiting factor. As next spring unfolds there may be opportunity and interest in expanding the physical size of the business into other areas of the building. Kim makes a point of the fact that she will definitely be offering an additional service of giftwrapping starting with this holiday season and continuing year-round. “The Moose Festival was great for business”, remarks Kim. “Local places to stay sent customers down to the shop and local that have camp in the area came in to shop.” There are plans to coordinate sales with the various events throughout the year. The next event is the Country Christmas Tour and Kim is in the planning phase for her business specials connected with this event. Currently, Kim and her mother-in-law, Marian are the two employees for Kim’s Country Corner. Getting the business off the ground was really a bootstrap effort. The owner of the building provided the materials, but the family, with the help of friends, did all the construction work and installation making the showroom and shop space possible in a timely and economical fashion. Both Kim and Dave want to recognize all those family members and friends who made the showroom possible through their time and hard work. Kim’s Country Corner can be reached by telephone at 648-5717 and the shop is open from Monday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM year-round. As with all the businesses in town, it is vital that the local community come out and support these entrepreneurs who are contributing to the enrichment of the Town of Indian Lake and for the convenience of its citizens at the risk of much hard work and financial investments.

Shiloh Wood a 2013 Girls’ State delegate NORTH CREEK — At a meeting of the North Creek American Legion Auxiliary Unit 629 on October 1st, Shiloh Wood reported on her weeklong educational experience at Empire Girl’s State (June 30th. through July 6th.). The experience provided participation in hands-on-workshops on government and the political process designed to create a government from the county to the state level. This program, which has been accredited by the New York State Board of Regents for inclusion in the National College Credit Recommendation Services, (National CCRS), is a non-partisan attempt to teach government, politics, and Americanism to young women. Girls State delegates are a diverse group of young women who share a common desire to learn and lead. From small towns to big cities, the delegatesÕ diverse backgrounds set the stage for a weeklong, spirited, experiential learning where American Legion Auxiliary Girls’ State “citizens” hold “Girls’ State” elections. Shiloh was our delegate to the American Legion GirlsÕ State program for 2013 and was selected by our North Creek Unit 629, working with Johnsburg Central School educators. This mythical 51st. state was divided into 11 counties and the citizens were assigned to either the Nationalist or Federalist Party. They experienced the
two party system, much like our government. Shiloh was part of the Federalist Party and her schedule included participating in political campaigns where she assisted others in their elections. Shiloh was a member of the Tubman County serving on the Finance Committee. She also learned about Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad. She was honored and very grateful for the opportunity to be part of the 2013 Empire Girls’ State Program. She learned more about the political process and gained a better understanding of the workings of democratic ideals and the part individuals can play in carrying out these ideals. This year, the girls had a special treat when Senator Kirsten Gillibrand made an appearance and spoke to the girls. Shiloh’s enthusiasm about her experience will always be with her. She made many lasting relationships with girls from different areas of the State. This educational opportunity provided by Em-
pire GirlsÕ State will make her a future leader in our society. She will graduate in June of 2014 and plans to attend college in the fall. Her desire is to earn a degree in psychology and work with children. Our North Creek American Legion Auxiliary Unit 629 is very grateful for the grant from Adirondack Community Trust for the Gore Mountain Region that enabled us to send Shiloh to the 2013 Empire Girls’ State.

Guest Commentary Is there fire in you?
POTTERSVILLE — The Fire Fighter 1 graduation ceremony was held Sept. 26 at the Pottersville Fire House Graduating Fire Fighter 1 is more than just moving on to the next grade or moving up to high school/middle school. It’s about being able to answer the calls for help from our friends and neighbors, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There is no holiday pay, time and a half or having weekends off. It means sometimes missing dinners or sleep, sometimes being out all night long in the cold/heat or rain/snow, most community residents would not even know that their neighbor was out trying to help save some ones life or property. On Sept. 26, these volunteers from all different fire departments from around the area took the oath, to protect life and property and in some cases paying the ultimate price to help keep our communities safe. So the next time you see the fire trucks or ambulance going by with the lights and sirens on take the time to think who they are and what they are doing. This training is the very same training career firemen
must take to become firemen in the state of New York. This course is 91 hours long and is a large commitment not only for the members taking

Revitalize the Adirondacks with telecommuting
A
November 2, 2013
ccess to high-speed Internet is just as crucial to economic development today as electricity was 100 years ago. It is even more important in rural areas like the Adirondack Region, where a commute is often complicated by distance and weather. The largest economic engines of the region used to be mining, lumbering and agriculture Ñ and associated industries. But as those employers slowly evaporated, so too did jobs, and many families moved away. As a result, school enrollments have dwindled, giving way to mostly second homeowners instead of full-time residents. After obtaining high school degrees, children are often forced to trade the great quality of life here in the Adirondack Park for better-paying urban jobs. Many move away for college or military service and never return. One answer to our economic deficit is telecommuting — working from home for a company out of town, the park, the state or even the country. Telecommuting is a great way to give people a chance to live and make a living in the Adirondack Region, and companies worldwide are starting to take notice. Telecommuting is personally satisfying Ñ often allowing the worker more family face time Ñ and environmentally responsible — making it a near perfect fit for this region of New York state. To allow it, however, companies and employees need access to a reliable and comprehensive network of high-speed broadband. The problem for Internet providers such as Time Warner Cable and Charter Communications, however, is the high cost of reaching all household in remote Adirondack communities. While there are several forms of broadband available in the park Ñ such as cable, satellite and DSL Ñ fiber optic is preferred because it offers much faster data transmission speeds. But local communities can band together and help in the process, thanks to a federal program. The USDA was a forerunner in advocating for rural communities to be supplied with electricity in 1935 through the Rural Electrification Administration. Today it offers grants for bringing broadband services to rural communities. In the town of Keene, local officials brought broadband to town with the “High Peaks Education Foundation” project, allowing residents to connect to high-speed Internet. The goal for bringing broadband to the town of Keene was to give access to more jobs, enabling more families to live in the community and enroll more children in the local public school. The initiative is a win-win, giving children a great quality of life and new opportunities for learning and parents the ability to make a living here while spending more time with their kids. The initiative with the locally owned Internet service provider, Keene Valley Video and Internet, rebuilt the old CATV plant and expanded the network using fiber-to-the-home technology. Currently 97 percent of year-round homes in the town have access to broadband if they want it, and 80 percent of second homeowners can get broadband. Forty percent are now connected. Keene Valley Central School has also benefitted, and residents now have availability to technology like Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP), a group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over the Internet. Replacing land lines, VOIP saves money. The project cost the town $11,500 per mile, only one-third of normal industry estimates. Keene now has the most widespread network in the Adirondack Park. Others should do the same, if they can. To expedite the process, town officials should gather data on how many people are interested in the service, and how many currently have access. That information is crucial when applying for grants. There are some stigmas employers must consider before looking into telecommuting. For one, their industry must be able to manage the productivity of the employees while they are working outside of the office. Trust in employees is a major facet. One not-for-profit organization — Adirondack Teleworks — can aid with the process, connecting companies offering telecommuting jobs with employees of the region. Bill Murphy with Adirondack Teleworks said the organization hopes to educate people living in the most remote areas of the Adirondack Park, like Hamilton County, about working via the Internet. Telecommuting is certainly not the sole piece of the economic puzzle in the tourism-dependant Adirondacks, but if more broadband access is available, it could encourage visitors to stay longer while providing jobs for people who never want to leave.

Currently serving on Minerva planning board. Plan to contribute to the excellent governing of the town of Minerva. What do you think are the three biggest challenges currently facing your town, and how do you propose overcoming those challenges? Challenges are the lack of employment opportunities, no grant funding to stimulate economic growth and dwindling enrollment in the local school. What are your views on specific and realistic economic development opportunities for the town? I believe that there are many talented and multi-experienced citizens who could come together to discuss and develop ways and means to create an economic incubus. This group could work to obtain funding and help train people to start and run there own companies.
Proposition 1
Authorizing Casino Gaming
The proposed amendment to section 9 of article 1 of the Constitution would allow the Legislature to authorize up to seven casinos in New York State for the legislated purposes of promoting job growth, increasing aid to schools, and permitting local governments to lower property taxes through revenues generated. Shall the amendment be approved?
Proposition 2
Additional Civil Service Credit for Veterans with Disabilities Certified Post-Appointment
The proposed amendment to section 6 of article 5 of the Constitution would entitle a veteran who has received civil service credit for a civil service appointment or promotion and subsequently is certified as disabled to additional civil service credit at a subsequent appointment or promotion. Shall the proposed amendment be approved?
Proposition 3
Exclusion of Indebtedness Contracted for Sewage Facilities
The proposed amendment to Article 8, section 5 of the Constitution would extend for ten years, until January 1, 2024, the authority of counties, cities, towns, and villages to exclude from their constitutional debt limits indebtedness contracted for the construction or reconstruction of sewage facilities. Shall the proposed amendment be approved?
munications services and building on the new recreational opportunities that we will have as a result of the classification of the former Finch, Pruyn property. What do you think are the three biggest challenges currently facing your town, and how do you propose overcoming those challenges? 1.) Maintaining town programs and services without breaking the bank is a challenge for every town. We have met the state tax cap for three of the last four years. Our tax levy has increased by the smallest percentages in the last ten years or more. That’s a good thing, but in order to maintain our facilities, programs and services we will need help. I will seek the grants and investments that can help with that. I will also continue our efforts to make Minerva’s municipal operations effective. 2.) Maintaining our quality of life. Minerva’s great strength has long been its identity as a multi-generational community where old and young supported each other and volunteered in many community institutions. While that is still who we are, the increase in the number of seniors and the decrease in the number of young people who are leaving to live and work elsewhere, it is changing that dynamic for our community. We need to explore strategies that strengthen and value all of our residents. That means looking for ways to help our seniors age in place well while remaining engaged with the community and encouraging younger Minervans to live and work and volunteer here. 3.) Emergency Services. Minerva has one of the last all-volunteer fire and emergency medical services in the area. We are very proud of our volunteers, but know that the training require-

ments have made it difficult for many to volunteer for this critical community function. The increase in our senior population and the likely increase in visitors due to state land purchase are both factors that will impact our emergency services. I will encourage the town to work with the fire department and rescue squad and with our emergency preparedness committee to plan for both. There are some great models from other rural communities and I will make sure that they are shared with our fire department and rescue squad. What are your views on specific and realistic economic development opportunities for the town? Every community needs jobs and Minerva is no exception. That has been a tough nut to crack, but we have an important new opportunity for a stronger year-round economy with the new access to the former Finch Pruyn property. Whether it’s snowmobiling in the winter or canoeing, horse back riding or mountain biking in the summer, we have a good shot at bringing more recreation and tourism dollars to Minerva. Snowmobiling alone brings $248 million per year to the Adirondacks. Minerva sees little of that but we could if we had connecting trails to our neighboring communities. We are hopeful that the upcoming land classification by the APA will allow that to happen. There are a lot of things we need to do to prepare for a year-round economy with a major recreation and tourism component: improving our existing recreational facilities, the addition of cell and broadband service, and supporting our local businesses as we all learn how best to take advantage of the opportunities that we will have.
NO SHOWS: Despite repeated attempts to reach them, two Minerva Town Council candidates did not return their questionnaires by press time: Keith Dubay and Peter McNally.
Town Council seat City of residence: Olmstedville Education: High School Occupation: Self-employed contractor Why are you running? I was approached by many people in the town asking me if I would consider running again for town board. I enjoyed my previous time on the board and I was able to complete projects for the town and its residents. It was a very fulfilling experience. If given the opportunity, I will serve with the same enthusiasm I had in my previous eight years. Qualifications? Having been on the Town board for eight years, I would go into office with an understanding of the town’s budget, accounting and procedures. Being a self-employed contractor, I would bring a business sense and an understanding that you have to get the most for your money. Main goals: My main goals for this position are: •to be a productive town councilman who will put in the time and effort to work on town issues; •to concentrate on the town budget and research ways the town can save money without losing services for ex. solar panels for the town buildings; and •to work with the board to set up a maintenance plan for the town that will maintain and preserve our existing assets. What do you think are the three biggest challenges currently facing your town, and how do you propose overcoming those challenges? Tax Cap: This is a challenge that all towns and schools face. I would work to find ways the town can continue to provide services and keep the yearly budget under the tax cap. I would like to research solar at some of the town facilities. If we could save on electricity, that money could help offset some of the budget increases that we have no control over. Minerva Lake: This is a potential problem with the engineering and testing on the earthen dam that are underway now. If this turns into an issue, the town has to face, I believe my experience dealing with engineers, contractors, and state agencies would be an asset for the town. Maintenance: The town’s infrastructure needs to be addressed. Maintenance of all town buildings and parks is an ongoing issue for Minerva. My contracting experience as well as my design and drafting abilities could be a useful tool for all the projects the town undertakes. What are your views on specific and realistic economic development opportunities for the town? We need to find a way to help small businesses survive in the economic climate we are in. The town as well as the planning board need to be more open in encouraging the expansion of existing businesses as well as the addition of new businesses in the town. I feel tourism is an avenue we need to pursue whether it be camping, snowmobiling, second homes, etc. These are all ways to bring outside money into the town. The more people we can bring through Minerva, the more opportunity our businesses will have to succeed.
Proposition 4
Settling Disputed Title in the Forest Preserve
The proposed amendment to section 1 of article 14 of the Constitution would authorize the Legislature to settle longstanding disputes between the State and private entities over ownership of certain parcels of land in the town of Long Lake, Hamilton County. In exchange for giving up its claim to disputed parcels, the State would get land to be incorporated into the forest preserve that would benefit the forest preserve more than the disputed parcels currently do. Shall the proposed amendment be approved?

I have been living in the hamlet of Johnsburg for 50 years. I bought some woods, designed and built our house, found a great wife, raised our two kids here. I have been a candidate for town office 12 or more times. It’s habit forming. More specifically, when the town acquired the historic Waddell property (riverfront) from Warren County (before that the OSI) a massive tax liability was unloaded on the town. Two years ago, I ran on a platform of aggressive longrange planning to develop a showpiece riverfront park from the train depot downstream to the North Creek. For two years the problems of the riverfront have hardly been mentioned at Town Board meetings. Therefore, I’m giving it one more try. The beautiful Hudson River deserves recognition, respect, and restoration from our town. Bob Nessle I’ll try to make that happen. Qualifications: Besides a good education, I have attended more board meetings than any of the other current members giving me a historical perspective of town business. I know how local government works and know the laws that regulate it. I am an active skier with appreciation for the Gore Mountain/ORDA connection to the town. I bring to the table a thorough understanding of construction which lends itself to decisions about building maintenance projects. I have been in business for 45 years and understand fiscal matters. I have volunteered 18 years with the fire company, four years with EMS, eight years on the planning board, four years on the Assessment Appeals Board, 12 years on the White Water Derby board, and 10 years on the Parks Advisory Committee. I have spent the past 15 years volunteering at Ski Bowl Park, building a pavilion, installing a water line, rehabilitating the playground, designing and maintaining a covered ice skating rink, and landscaping. Main goals: 1) Long-range planning for the riverfront that will not bankrupt the town 2) Sewering the North Creek business district so it can grow and remain viable in order to avoid sprawl 3) Continue to develop Ski Bowl Park with a re-established swimming beach, expanded trails, and reclaimed space from the sand mine What do you think are the three biggest challenges currently facing your town, and how do you propose overcoming those challenges? 1) Raising enough tax money to pay not only for the basic needs of the town but also develop new opportunities is a tough balancing act. I would support the revaluation of property to assure that people are being taxed fairly and we are getting needed tax revenue. I would look for ways to pare expenditures so town government is focused primarily on government ser-
public; to continue making improvements to our towns properties; and to continue to work to improve the economic viability of our town.

vices. 2) Developing increased attractions for visitors to the town. I would weigh the feasibility of and funding for a ski train from NYC, a ropes course/zip line off the mountain, bike routes/trails throughout the entire town, a whitewater course, a public golf course, increasing beds in the area, and public transportation opportunities. 3) Encouraging good economic opportunities for residents. I would work with USDA Rural Development, EDC, and local people to try to bring businesses to the area or establish startups that offer decent economic opportunities. I would support major upgrading of the Internet infrastructure (broadband) to promote telecommuting. What are your views on specific and realistic economic development opportunities for the town? 1) Tourism is what we have right now. We need to continue to support our major tourist attraction — Gore Mountain Ski Area and the interconnection with the town. We need to increase attractions. We need to market our town to draw more people. 2) The non-tourist economy is based on mining and logging. More needs to be done to expand different opportunities for people Ñ attracting established businesses, helping new entrepreneurs establish businesses. Other comments to voters: Climate change already has and will continue to drastically affect life in Adirondack Park. All levels of government need to accept this fact and be proactive in reducing atmospheric carbon deposition. Government must lead in this survival effort. Local governments will be vitally important in this role. We must start now.
challenges? •Continued efforts to provide good local and governmental services •Maintaining economic and tourism growth that benefits community and business •Continue forward momentum and/or completion of the Ski Bowl Park project, North Creek’s Main Street “Streetscape” program, and Riverfront Park at Railroad Place improvements I feel the best way to have progress or “overcome” all of these issues is to stay informed and stay involved. Providing accurate information to town citizens will enable them to understand decisions and choices the Town Board makes. With regards to local services, I feel it is important that property owners understand how their tax dollars are spent and if more services are requested by a property owner, how much or how little additional tax dollars may cover that request. What are your views on specific and realistic economic development opportunities for the town? Obviously, more jobs and better jobs is always a goal in a small community. Encouraging any new business is in the best interest of the town. Providing information and direction toward Warren County economic development and Adirondack Region economic development for potential new businesses should be in the forefront. Promoting tourism, while looked down by some as not economic development, in my mind can be the small link in starting new businesses. Every potential visitor may choose to relocate to beautiful North Creek, or North River, or anywhere in the town of Johnsburg and bring their existing business with them or start a new one.

Long Lake John Adams
Town Council seat Education: Some college Occupation: Self-employed/plumbing, heating and electrical Why are you running? I have been asked, by numerous voters, to run for a seat on the Long Lake Town Council, whether it be a board member or supervisor. Our current Town Council is a “reactionary,” contradictory, jaded council. A new representative voice, and opinion, can have positive input in Council decisions, for the better of the entire town. Qualifications: I have an open mind and am always open for suggestions and comments. I have been self employed for 32 years. First in the logging industry from 1981 until 1996, then in the plumbing, heating and electrical business from 1996 until present. I participate in continuing education courses and seminars offered by manufacturers, New York state, and other sources. I do so to keep up with the rapid NO SHOWS: Despite repeated attempts to reach them, two Long Lake Town Council candidates did not return their questionnaires by press time: Dean Pohl and Thomas Donnelly.
change of engineering, design, products, and implementation with everything to do in my field. I have preventive maintenance programs set up for customers who choose, as well as myself, to reduce costly, untimely and inconvenient breakdowns. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Those words are so true. I can help set up preventive maintenance programs for the town owned buildings, equipment and water distribution systems. Main goals: The most important goal is to represent the people and make the right decisions in regard to what is best for the town and the people of the town. I would like the Town Council to put preventive maintenance programs in place. I would also like to see Town Council members (appointed or volunteer) attend school and library board meetings (one each). I think this would give a better understanding, to all boards, on what is most important to both communities within the town of Long Lake. All boards can work together to better improve the entire town. What do you think are the three biggest challenges currently facing your town, and how do you propose overcoming those challenges? The Economy, the closing of businesses, the threat of having to remove 9 miles of water main from within the Lake. We, as a town, need to start thinking on how we can improve the economy in the fall and winter months. We need to start planning for the future of both communities, in all aspects. There are ways to improve the winter and summer economy in both communities, however, itÕ s going to take
money, planning and time. As a result, existing business will not be forced to close and, new businesses will open, therefore saving and creating jobs. What are your views on specific and realistic economic development opportunities for the town? Face it, there’s not going to be much economic development within the Adirondack Park. What we need to do is use our resources to the best of our ability in order to create jobs and offer some business growth. The town owns property in both communities, maybe a small golf course in each community would do well. In Long Lake, the town owns 69 acres dedicated as a Recreational Park. In the 1970s, a partial of that land was used as a ski slope. It had a rope tow to the top of the cleared hill. It is possible to clear more trails and extend the ski slope to higher elevations. All this could be done, once again, it would take money, planning and time. It would be worth the investment to do the research as to whether or not these ideas could increase the economy within the town of Long Lake’s two communities. Other comments: I want to do whatÕ s best for both communities in the town of Long Lake. I want to represent all the people of both communities and hear what you have to say, whether good or bad, and use what you have to say to make our town a better place, for us and our visitors. Good health and happiness to all of you and thank you for your time.

Town Council seat Education: High school and State Police Academy Occupation: Retired state trooper; caretaker for a group of summer camps Why are you running? I hope to provide a common sense approach to dealing with the problems local governments face. Qualifications: Many years of experience in town administration. Main goals: Provide for the needs of the people of Long Lake without unreasonably raising the cost of living here. What do you think are the three biggest challenges currently facing your town, and how do you propose overcoming those challenges? Upgrading our infrastructure, maintaining a quality of life that is acceptable and providing a town government that is accessible to the people while maintaining a friendly atmosphere in the town. I hope to implement these goals by continued service on the town council. What are your views on specific and realistic economic development opportunities for the town? I know that tourism is our major industry and we need to encourage tourists to come to our area in all four seasons. This would help support our businesses and provide some employment opportunities. Other comments: I am asking for your support for another term to work on your behalf.

Donald Bott
Town Council seat Occupation: Retired from Jersey Central Power and Light Why are you running? I am running for re-election because I feel I have done a good job and have served the community well. I would like to continue doing that. Qualifications: I served on the Newcomb Planning Board in the past and currently a member of the Newcomb Fire Department and Lions Club. This enables me to know many of the residents and their concerns and respond to those concerns. Main goals: To keep building the town and to make it a better place for it’s residents. What do you think are the three biggest challenges currently facing your town, and how do you propose overcoming those challenges? Economic growth and development, easier access to the newly acquired state property for senior citizens. What are your views on specific and realistic economic development opportunities for the town?

Paul Hai
Town Council seat Education: Master’s of Environmental and Forest Biology; Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management Occupation: Program Coordinator, SUNY-ESF’s Adirondack Ecological Center Why are you running? Newcomb is a fantastic community in which to live and work. An important part of its greatness stems from the leadership of Newcomb’s elected officials. I want to join this leadership team and contribute ideas and energy, and participate in the decision-making process setting a thoughtful direction for Newcomb, respecting our past while creating new opportunities for our future. Qualifications: Over the past 10 years of living, volunteering, and working in Newcomb, I have learned an enormous amount about this community, what makes us strong, what we cherish and what we aspire to create. Most of all, I’ve learned a great deal about what we want to preserve: the essential things making Newcomb the best community in the Park. I am highly organized, hardworking, a good listener and open-minded, and have strong problem-solving, interpersonal, and critical-thinking skills, and will bring these attributes to working for the community of Newcomb as a councilman. Main goals: 1. Represent the community, bringing their ideas and interests to the Town Council and working to find and implement appropriate solutions. 2. Work to advance and implement the goals established in the revised Newcomb Comprehensive Plan and the Smart Streets Route 28N Corridor plan. 3. Work closely with DEC on the UMP plan for the former Finch lands to ensure Newcomb is able to receive maximum benefit for the state’s purchase of these lands.
4. Expand the partnerships and planning with neighboring communities to increase stability and growth across the region, and to increase the power and coordination of Adirondack community voices in regional decision making, regulation, and funding. What do you think are the three biggest challenges currently facing your town, and how do you propose overcoming those challenges? 1. Economic opportunity: Regardless of the final classification designation for the former Finch lands, we must be energetic and innovative in leveraging these new lands to drive recreational, educational, and economic opportunities in Newcomb. Economic development is a complex problem defying a single, or quick, solution, however, improved community and regional marketing will bring more people to town, and result in more economic activity and investment. 2. State financial climate: It is clear state support is decreasing on many levels that directly impact Newcomb. We need to be creative and proactive in pursuing partnerships and competitive funding enabling Newcomb to invest in infrastructure and programs improving the quality of life for residents and the quality of experience for visitors. 3. Creating more pedestrian-focused areas in town: Linking together some or all of the great community resources Newcomb has to offer, making the experience of residents and visors more of a pedestrian-focused community rather than car-based. Great work by the Planning Board has developed this concept; IÕ m committed to implementing it through partnerships, grantfunding, and continued planning. What are your views on specific and realistic economic development opportunities for the town? A persistent challenge is increasing the amount of overnight accommodations available in Newcomb. This is a complex issue tied to many factors; however, a first step in attracting visitors who will in turn drive the need for and investment in more accommodations (and other economic growth) is better and broader marketing of Newcomb as a destination community with a diversity of experiences for all ages and interests in all seasons. Other comments to voters: Given the opportunity, I would be honored to serve as a Town Council member.
Proposition 5
In Relation to a Land Exchange in the State Forest Preserve with NYCO Minerals, Inc.
The proposed amendment to section 1 of article 14 of the Constitution would authorize the Legislature to convey forest preserve land located in the town of Lewis, Essex County, to NYCO Minerals, a private company that plans on expanding an existing mine that adjoins the forest preserve land. In exchange, NYCO Minerals would give the State at least the same amount of land of at least the same value, with a minimum assessed value of $1 million, to be added to the forest preserve. When NYCO Minerals finishes mining, it would restore the condition of the land and return it to the forest preserve.

Town Clerk seat
26849
Education: Long Lake Central School; San Francisco State University, San Francisco, Calif.; Mildred Elley, Albany, N.Y. Why are you running? The town clerk in Long Lake, to the best of my knowledge, is not an active policy making position, therefore affecting change is minimal. However, I believe that any elected position, when possible, should not go unchallenged. I look forward to serving the community in the capacity deserved. Qualifications: I am a paralegal and have worked for law firms in the Albany area since 2001 and presently here in Long Lake. Working in the legal field has given me a keen sense of administration, and close attention to detail as well as respecting confidentiality. I also have worked in the service industry for many years, being employed by several businesses in Long Lake through the years, as well several cities across the country. The industry has given me the experience of not only hard work but the importance of listening, showing compassion and honesty. Main goals: Again, the position does not afford much in the way of policy decisions. What I would like to bring to the position is a dependable, helpful and friendly service to the community. Other comments: I am running for Long Lake town clerk independently on the Black Bear Party ticket.
The proposed amendment to the Constitution, amending sections 2 and 25 of article 6, would increase the maximum age until which certain state judges may serve as follows: (a) a Justice of the Supreme Court would be eligible for five additional two-year terms after the present retirement age of 70, instead of the three such terms currently authorized; and (b) a Judge of the Court of Appeals who reaches the age of 70 while in office would be permitted to remain in service on the Court for up to 10 years beyond the present retirement age of 70 in order to complete the term to which that Judge was appointed.

Johnsburg budget from page 1
$22,604 for town clerk/tax collector; and $50,000 for highway superintendent. “The highway workers are under contract, so that’s automatic,” Vanselow said. “We’re raising the highway superintendent a little bit.” There is more money for mowing cemeteries and for town buildings, and Town Board members raised a couple lines in the highway budget to be more “realistic,” according to the supervisor. “Some of those lines are pretty drastically underfunded, and it takes a while to build them up to where they should be,” Vanselow said. So what does this mean for taxpayers? The townwide tax rate is estimated at $114.91 per thousand assessed, an increase of 3.06

percent. That does not include fire districts (North Creek FD is $53.98 per thousand and Johnsburg FD is $36.26 per thousand). The town of Johnsburg has not facilitated a revaluation in many years; therefore, its properties are not assessed at a 100 percent equalization rate like they are required to be by the state Office of Real Property Services. “We’re not at full value,” Vanselow said. “It’s like 2 percent (equalization rate), so if you have a house that is valued at $50,000, its assessed value on your tax sheet is only going to say $1,000. So that $114.91 is per thousand.” Johnsburg is one of only two towns in Warren County that are not at full value. “We’ve not had a reval here ever, I think,” Vanselow said. “And that’s one of our goals … we’ve gradually been storing up funds in the capital reserve to do this.” The town was going to initiate a revaluation a couple years ago when the state was handing out funds to help towns get their
EQ rates to 100 percent with reassessments. Even Warren County had a pilot program that could have helped. “But all those forms of assistance have gone away, so we’re going to have to do it ourselves” Vanselow said. “And it’s not always a pleasant experience. The general rule for this type of thing is that a third of the people will go up, a third will go down and a third will stay the same. But it’s not fair to not have the proper value to assign to properties.” In another part of the budget, the board has tentatively agreed to extend the current fire contract for one year. That would increase the amount each company gets by 2 percent. Even after the Nov. 7 public hearing, Town Board members can make changes to the budget before approving it. For example, the supervisor expects that there may be an amendment to change the amount the town is spending on insurance. See a copy of the tentative 2014 budget at the Johnsburg Town Hall in North Creek or on the town’s website at www.johnsburgny.com.

Johnsburg Fine Arts Group reception Sat.
NORTH CREEK — The Widlund Gallery at Tannery Pond Community Center is hosting a show of paintings by the members of the Johnsburg Fine Arts Group, as well as polymer clay gifts and jewelry by Helene Goodman, and Chip Carvings by Dennis Wilson. The show opened Oct. 25 and runs through Nov. 21. Artist Reception will be Nov. 2 from 5-7 p.m. Johnsburg Fine Arts is a group of local artists who meet weekly for inspiration, creativity, and fellowship. The group is sponsored by the town of Johnsburg and meet at the Wevertown Town Hall. Artists are taught and guided by local artist Kate Hartley, who teaches on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. Also on display at the gallery will be polymer clay jewelry and gift items created by Helene Goodman. Helene’s handcrafted, one of a kind pieces are for sale, as are chip carvings by Dennis Wilson, and many of the JFA paintings.
the secretary work out of the highway office during business hours. Be more supportive in helping our local senior citizens with snow removal. Better roadside cleanup and beautification for local roads and sidewalks. Other comments: The last employee hired was someone from out of town without any local applicants being given the same opportunity. If you check your tax records, you will see that the highway tax levy went up 70 percent from 2002 to 2010. The winter workload is now less than previous and the Highway Department has not had to purchase winter sand for the past few years as they are able to obtain sand from property purchased by the town at no cost.
Mark Yandon
Highway Superintendent seat Education: Graduate of Newcomb Central School Occupation: Highway superintendent Why are you running? I am running to continue as highway
superintendent because of my community spirit and desire to serve the people of Newcomb. This position enables me to work with individuals and groups to make a positive difference. I enjoy the personal interaction and challenge to make our community better. Qualifications: I have 12 years experience as highway superintendent and 24 previous years as a heavy equipment operator. Main goals: I would continue to maintain zero increase in my operating budget, which has been sustained for the past four years. I would progressively upgrade the town road conditions within budget. Our Highway is the critical avenue to enhance commerce and strengthen vitality in our community. I have and will continue to collaborate with the 28N corridor enhancement committee. Other comments: A citizenÕ s right to vote is one of the founding freedoms of our country. Your vote for me is much appreciated and will continue to pay strong dividends to our town.
