Payne: Tri-County running well

This Week JOHNSBURG

By Pete DeMola pete@denpubs.com

NORTH CREEK Ñ Adirondack Tri-County Administrator Hal Payne said despite the layoff of 33 employees at Inter-Lakes in Ticonderoga last week, everything is running well at his facility and there are no plans to cut staff or sell the facility.

Rumors are rife in the community, said Payne, because Tri-County, like the InterLakes Health-owned Heritage Commons Residential Health Care, is part of the Blue Line Group (BLG), the regional partnership of non-profit nursing homes that was created last year to explore new models of long-term sustainability and streamline operations throughout their facilities. Ò The decisions made by Inter-Lakes will not affect the other members of the Blue Line Group in any way,Ó he said. Ò We wanted to make sure everyone knew the board unanimously voted not to sell,Ó said Tri-County board president Karen Smith.

Last December, the New York State Department of Health awarded the BLG a $7.1 million grant, a direct response to the fiscal distress that the four elder care facilities in the network have endured following years of losses accrued

by Medicaid reimbursements that have fallen short of actual costs.

Both Tri-County officials said theyÕ re working diligently to continue operations until they receive the first state payments at the end of the month and there are no plans to lay off any of the facilityÕ s 120 employees.

SPECIAL

North Creek aims to establish NYS ski museum

By Seth Lang

seth@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK Ñ North Country residents gathered at the Tannery Pond Community Center in North Creek Wednesday, Feb. 26 to discuss plans for a possible New York State ski museum to be built in North Creek.

Bob Nessle of Johnsburg thinks New York should have a museum dedicated to skiing in the state.

Ò North Creek would be the perfect location,Ó said Nessle.

North Creek has a ski history dating back to the 1930Õ s, when skiers used to climb to the top of Gore Mountain and ski back down. North Creek also had one of the first T-bars in the country, allowing skiers to ride up and ski down.

Other states like New Hampshire and Colorado

have similar museums that are successful in attracting visitors year around.

Nessle, who managed the Ski Bowl in North Creek for several seasons back in the 1960Õ s, admitted that itÕ s a lofty goal but heÕ s still trying to drum up interest and figure out how other facilities have made similar projects happen.

Museums in New York are chartered by the state Board

of Regents. The board must first grant a provisional charter which is good for up to five years. At the end of five years, if the board decides theyÕ ve met the requirements for a museum, a permanent charter will be granted.

Although Lake Placid has an Olympic Museum, itÕ s dedicated to the Winter Olympics from 1932 - 1980.

CALENDAR

All hail the 100th day king!

ATHOL Ñ Folks from near and far will get a hearty helping of savory homemade food as well as a taste of Adirondack community spirit next weekend as they attend the annual Thurman Old-Fashioned Jack Wax Party.

Also known as the Sugar Party, the event has been an annual fund-raiser in this rural mountain town since people arrived in sleighs and by horseback.

Open to the public, the event is a blend of friendly conversation, hearty home-cooked food and rollicking

mountain music. ItÕ s to be held Saturday March 15 in the Thurman Town Hall. The meal begins at 4 p.m. and lasts until all are served.

Since the 1930s and perhaps decades before, townspeople in Thurman have held this event celebrating the end of winter, sharing a meal topped off with Jack Wax. This age-old New England treat is made by ladling fragrant, boiled-down maple syrup Ñ fresh from local Òs ugar bushesÓÑ onto snow or ice shavings, which gives it a taffy-like consistency.

But the event is far more than sharing a savory meal together pot-luck style at long tables, swapping tales, listening to home-grown music, and greeting neigh-

bors after a long winter.

ItÕ s not only a communal tribute to upcoming spring, but itÕ s also a matter of sharing and caring for others in need. This annual community party represents reaching out to others by raising money for the American Cancer Society both for research and to help families in the area.

This has been the partyÕ s main purpose for 55 years, although some local old-timers remember attending Thurman Jack Wax parties in the 1930s Ñ and others tell of the celebrations going back to the late 1800s.

Grant allows for school staff development day March 13

INDIAN LAKE Ñ The Glenn and Carol Pearsall Adirondack Foundation recently awarded the Adirondack Curriculum Project(ACP) a grant for the fifth annual Adirondack Day for students and their teachers who use the Adirondacks to meet NYS Learning Standards and the new Common Core.

The idea behind Adirondack Day was to bring students together to teach each other about what they have learned about their Adirondack communities, their nature and their history. Sandy Bureau, science teacher at Indian Lake Central School and one of the organizers for the day says Ò Research shows that having to Ò teachÓ others is one of the best ways to learn. We hope to provide that opportunity and to help students feel the value of their voices and learning about this special place we live in.Ó The Adirondack Day is scheduled for March 13 and will be held at The Wild Center in Tupper Lake.

Teachers participating in Adirondack Day use the ACPÕ s Adirondack Challenge format to develop student centered, activities-based constructivist lesson plans. Each lesson plan culminates in some kind of product. ItÕ s those products that students will be sharing at Adirondack Day. The Pearsall Foundation grant will cover t-shirts and lunch and materials that day. Newcomb, Potsdam, Indian Lake and Tupper Lake Central Schools, as well as St MaryÕ s in Potsdam have participated in the past. See pictures and videos from last yearÕ s event on the ACPÕ s Facebook page.

The ACP over the 13 years of its existence has hosted numerous workshops and staff development days for teachers in the region. During those workshops teachers are trained how to use the Adirondack Challenge format. The ACP has over 100 free lesson plans on other web site covering the gamut of subject areas and age levels, all dealing with the Adirondacks.

The Adirondack Curriculum Project is a consortium of individuals, schools, businesses, organizations and others that hope to foster better public understanding, appreciation, and stewardship of the Adirondack regionÕ s natural and cultural resources. The ACP is incorporated as a 501 (c) 3 tax exempt organization. Those interested in learning more about the curriculum project and how you can have a workshop in your own district, or use one of our Challenges. Visit the website at www. adkcurriculumproject.org or e-mail challenge@adkcurriculumproject.org The Glenn and Carol Adirondack Foundation is dedicated to improving the quality of life for year-round residents of the Adirondack Park. For more information go to www.pearsallfoundation.org.

The annual celebration heralding the upcoming arrival of spring — featuring Jack Wax or maple syrup ladled on snow — has local roots stretching back to the 1930s and likely as far back as the late 1800s. Since 1950, this party — which features live mountain music, savory food and spirited conversation — has raised money for the local chapter of the American Cancer Society. This year’s edition is to be held Saturday March 15 at the Thurman Town Hall in Athol, beginning at 4 p.m.

Full moon night sledding event held in Minerva

By Mike Corey

denpubs@denpubs.com MINERVA Ñ Although the clouds mostly obscured the big white orb in the sky the night of Feb. 15, it was still indeed a night owith a full moon at Minerva Lake.

To make up for the lack of lunar shine, electric lights provided the illumination for the fine sledding slope off the Beach Road and the skating rink at the warming hut. About 60 folks of all ages came out for this special evening of winter activities, which was sponsored by the Minerva Youth Commission.

Plenty of free hot chocolate and snacks were available at the warming hut, as were skates to fit all feet. Open skating alternated with cut-throat broomball action on the skating rink ice; music selections of all sorts added to the fun. No skates were allowed for the broomball, just boots, wintry clothing, and brooms Ð great games showcasing great skills were the result. On the sledding hill, kids and adults on all manner of sleds enjoyed a beautiful evening of sliding.

Thanks to all who came out to enjoy this terrific evening of fun at Minerva Lake.

A special thanks to youth commission member Caroline Kelly, who contributed plenty of time and effort during the organization and implementation efforts.

Thank you Minerva Youth Commission, for putting together a great evening of fun.

SnoCade Scavenger Hunt winners announced INDIAN LAKE Ñ The SnoCadeª Scavenger Hunt, sponsored by PineÕ s Country Store, had a five-way tie (all entries had equal merit). The winner was drawn from a snowmobile helmet and SnoCadeª is proud to announce Lou Ann Kassinger (right) as the 2014 winner. Ms. Kassinger will win a $50 gift certificate from Pine’s Country Store.

Entrants were required to take photos in various categories that showed many reasons for outdoor enthusiast to Ô make tracksÕ to Indian Lake. The competition was part of the 29th annual Winter Fest and the expanded SnoCadeª . All but one of the competitors did the bonus and took a ‘selfie’ with Indian Lake Citizen of the Year --- Tim Pine, with many amusing (if not amazing) results.

Kimberly LaSala, Linda McInerney, Bill Herrick and Kathy Herrick all had excellent entries that will be used to highlight the beautiful area of Indian Lake and future promotion of SnoCadeª . The goal of this fun event was to gather photos and see how others see the beauty of Indian Lake. Not just the wilderness and places to make tracks in the outdoors, but also the people and business in the friendly hamlets of Blue Mountain Lake, Sabael and Indian Lake.

Also, SnoCade wanted to give the participants a reason to get out and have fun in the Center of the Adirondacks. See the fun at: http://tinyurl.com/k4kxr6v or go to facebook.com/SnoCade.

Museum

Continued from page 1 Nessle said the museum he envisions includes much expanded platforms of skiing, including the history of skiing, how equipment has changed from the beginning, all the different ski sites over the years throughout the state, the pioneers of skiing, the development of freestyle skiing and many other areas of the ski industry.

Issues discussed at the meeting on Wednesday night included deciding on a proper location for the museum, the architecture, and how to establish the funds for such a project. Ò Funding for a project like this is going to be a huge undertaking.

WeÕ re going to need things like grant writing, grant research, individual and corporate donors as well as our local and federal government to get the process started,Ó said Nessle.

Assemblyman Dan Stec attended the meeting and said heÕ d be available to help throughout the process in any way possible.

News Enterprise Editorial

518, what’s your emergency?

E

mergency and fire services in the North County need a jumpstart. The pending flashover fueled by a sagging economy alongside a cluster of fast-moving accelerants Ñ an aging population, unfunded state mandates, tax caps, environmental regulations and an unrelenting brain drain Ñ has left local departments on life support and grasping for their defibrillator paddles.

Considering the region faces limited opportunities for expanding its tax base, there are no easy answers Ñ only a series of creative, common sense solutions.

Be efficient. Arizona made headlines last month with a state program launched in partnership with public and private agencies to put veterans to work. New York should follow their lead and customize their plan to fit local needs, particularly when it comes to ensuring that service members can apply their extensive military training to meet state-mandated firefighting and EMT requirements. Congress actually attempted to address this with the Veteran Emergency Medical Technician Support Act of 2013, but the bill flatlined in the Senate and remains DOA. Start ‘em young. Mandatory state training for EMTs has skyrocketed to approximately 170 hours in recent years, with firefighters seeing an increase to 130 from 80 just a generation ago.

This commitment makes it difficult to attract and retain young professionals, a serious problem as Baby Boomers continue to age out. As a stop-gap, why not offer high school and college students academic credits to ignite the flames of civic pride and spark what may lead to either a promising full-time career or lifelong contributions to the community.

Get involved. Welcome! WeÕ re glad our seasonal friends find our communities a desirable place for recreation and relaxation. How about helping us help you to protect your health, safety, homes and families, both during the offseason and prime time, by pitching in? Opportunities range from getting involved with your local fire department or EMT squad, helping local officials in crafting sustainable policies, volunteering whenever possible or by facilitating scholarships for local high school students who wish to enter into the emergency services and firefighting fields. We’re glad you’ve made the North Country your playground Ñ now help us pay for it.

Look outward. Local officials should be doing more to attract the bushy-tailed foreign nationals flocking to America for a better life. You can either get ahead of immigration or behind it and those choosing the former are seeing their

communities revitalized with fresh ideas and bustling economies. As Americans, we represent the best in nurturing the entrepreneurial spirit and recognizing the most promising attributes in our freedom-seeking friends around the world. These national values should never be overlooked and we need to continue to set a good global example by offering a series of cautious incentives to attract the best and brightest of the international community to our neighborhoods and lobby the federal government to put newcomers on the fast-track to citizenship by either engaging in civic volunteerism or statemandated emergency services and fire training: Welcome to America Ñ we believe in you and we welcome you with open arms. Now suit up, get to work and experience firsthand what made our country so great.

Pay your debt. Not to tarnish a noble profession by seeding its ranks with neÕ er-do-wells, but instead of giving prison inmates a college education and sending them off into a brutal domestic job market that will never hire them, anyway, instead facilitate firefighting and emergency service training programs so that when these folks are released, they have a real shot at erasing the shameful stigma of incarceration by allowing them to reintegrate back into society while contributing a skill thatÕ s actually useful for local communities.

Get to work. It seems inherently unfair that by some metrics, the long-term unemployed (or unemployable, depending on where you stand) have better standards of living than the working poor. (Just play with SNAP’s online benefit calculator if you donÕ t believe us.) If residents wish to remain on public assistance, then their handouts should be tied to public service, plain and simple. This isnÕ t the United States of Socialism Ñ itÕ s the land of pluck, elbow grease and opportunity. So suck it up and get back to work, comrade.

Three Strikes, You’re In. Lastly, instead of punishing triple-slam DWI offenders by permanently revoking their licenses, work the state-mandated EMT or firefighter training into their already-required extensive treatment and rehabilitation programs and give them a useful, marketable skill instead of condemning them to a life of booze-scented public dependency. What they choose to do with that training would, of course, be up to them. But at the very least, itÕ d act as a sorely-needed boost to a region that needs all hands on deck at such a crucial time in its fragile and uncertain development.

Not much time left

InBloom getting info on kids

To the News Enterprise: World War II Veterans are dying at a rate of 700 to 800 a day, they are in their late eighties and early nineties, there are less than one million left, soon there will be none of us left. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. The North Country Honor Flight group is dedicated to fly as many North Country WW II veterans to Washington to see their Memorial as possible. It is a daunting task but our group is working tirelessly to accomplish this goal.

In the last ten days we lost two of our comrades, we donÕ t have much time left. Many North Country residents have been very generous in donating to our mission, on the other hand there are many who have not heard of the North Country Honor Flight, we ask you to spread the word about our organization and our mission.

The North Country Honor Flight organization is a group of dedicated local residents who seek donations to fund these flights for our WW II Veterans, without funding it would be impossible to carry on with this work.

Our website is: northcountryhonorflight.org. We are asking for your help, please send donations to Ò North Country Honor Flight,Ó 1 Derek Drive, Keeseville, N.Y. 12944 We donÕ t have much time left.

To the News Enterprise: North Country parents, do you know that your child is a source of data and dollars? The New York State Education Department will be making available a quantum of information to inBloom to track children with no provision for parents to opt out of this student data system.

New York is the only state that plans to hand over confidential student information to InBloom, which is funded by the Gates Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation. Why do vendors need up to 400 data points about your child?

What information about you and your child will reside in the internet cloud? Student demographic information; early identification of students who may be at risk of not graduating from high school; attendance and behavioral data; state assessment scores; and educational program participation, just to name a few .

Our State Education Portal (engageny.org) repeatedly states that InBloom is prohibited from selling student data for, Ò anything other than specific educational contracts.” In other words, this data may be sold to, Ò third-party providers,Ó who publish Common Core materials that impact your childÕ s future learning. Although InBloom claims to be nonprofit, the profit motive drives this data collection.

According to InBloom, Ò Teachers spend more time integrating student data from various sources and less time teaching.Ó How is that for a solution? Data collection and less teaching time will never lead to lifelong learners who contribute to society and enjoy life, liberty and happiness. The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights,

Article 26, states that parents have the right to choose the kind of education given to their children. Children should have the protection of the Fourth Amendment to the USA Constitution.

Parents, if you donÕ t want to share data about your child to inBloom and its, Ò trusted third-party providers,Ó contact your local government representatives today.

March events at Creative Healing Connections

seth@denpubs.com

BAKERS MILLS Ñ Creative Healing Connections (CHC) provides creative experiences to support healing and growth to those in need in the Adirondack Mountain region.

To support workshops for caregivers, women with cancer and chronic illness and female veterans, CHC invites the public to its Mad Hatter’s Ball and benefit fundraiser, at Heaven Hill Farm in Lake Placid on Thursday, March 13 at 5:30 p.m. Tickets cost $35 per person, which includes an evening of fabulous food, silent auction, open bar and prizes for best hat categories. Any vendor wishing to donate an auction item would be most appreciated.

CHC will present two new Alfred Z. Solomon Retreats this year, one for Family and one for Professional Caregivers on March 29 and 30 at Valcour Conference Center in Peru from 9 a.m. Ð 4:30 p.m. both days.

• Creative— by offering creative experiences in the visual arts and crafts; creative writing, storytelling, song writing; music, theatre, dance, movement; yoga and dream workshops to allow participants the space in which to open up and tell their stories. Our creative arts workshops and sessions aim to include people who may call themselves artists as well as those who donÕ t and who are willing to try an art activity, perhaps for the first time.

• Healing—by believing that each person has an intrinsic ability to heal on different levels, whether the body is able to heal or not.

Although some of our faculty have training in arts therapy and counseling, our focus is rather, on creating a Ò safe spaceÓ within which healing happens. It is a space without judgment, without the need to fix anything, without telling anyone what to think or how to feel. We hold our retreats in the quiet, natural sanctuary of the Adirondacks where the mountains, lakes, streams and forests in combination have served as respite for healing and rejuvenation for centuries.

• Connections—one of the most important aspects of our retreats is bringing people together with similar circumstances to talk to one another, share their stories, reveal parts of themselves that are usually kept deep inside and expand their life journey. Our retreats are filled with laughter, mystery, wonder and the vibrancy of life. Some people return for many years and become mentors for newer participants.

Their presence creates a certain depth, richness and hope for those who are attending for the first time. We have become a special family Ñ accessible and available to help support new members who are ready to join us.

For further information go to the website: www.creativehealingconnections.org or email info@creativehealingconnections.org or call Carolyn at (518) 390-3899. Currently the group is based in Lake Placid and Bakers Mills.

After releasing their debut album in 2012, the band ventured to Nashville to record a follow-up album in 2013. The new album Love Loud was recorded at Ocean Way Recording Studios on Music Row in Nashville.

They state their musical influences as Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Heart, The Black Crowes, Waylon Jennings, Charlie Daniels, Wynonna, Gretchen Wilson, Susan Tedeschi, and Delta Blue.

The band recently obtained a production deal with Shooter Jennings who will be producing their sophomore album in California. TheyÕ ll be heading to Los Angeles on March 22 to enter the recording studio with the music theyÕ ve been working very hard on for this next album.

The event will be a fundraiser to help send Decadence to Los Angeles.

Johnsburg Historical Society explores history of local businesses

JOHNSBURG Ñ Many local businesses have been town of Johnsburg landmarks for generations, and some newer businesses also have become associated with the townÕ s appealing image. Johnsburg Historical Society is launching a new project which will recognize the contributions of these businesses to JohnsburgÕ s attraction as a mecca of natural beauty, recreation, amenities and friendliness.

The Heritage Business Exhibit project

will display 8 Ð 10 photographic images of a featured business, will advertise, and will draft text describing the subjectÕ s history throughout the years it has been in existence. An individual business will be on display for three months in the Town of Johnsburg Library in the reading room. After three months a different business will be featured in this ongoing, rotating project.

JHS will be responsible for digitizing images and writing the narrative labels.

The exhibit will be featured in newspaper articles, in the annual JHS newsletter, on the JHS website, and on the JHS Facebook page. It is hoped that local businesses will participate in this endeavor to recognize and promote a significant foundation of the town, its business enterprises.

Questions and responses may be addressed to committeepersons Sally Heidrich, Jack Masten and John Stafford at 251-5788.

Girl Scout Salute 2014

Girl Scouts participate in many activities throughout region

By Seth Lang

seth@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK Ñ Local Girl Scouts stay active throughout the year building courage, confidence, and character making the world a better place.

Sarah Williams and Susan Minucci co lead the North Creek Junior Girl Scouts troop 3016 and Brownie Troop 3493.

The Junior Girl Scout Troop 3016 participate in a lot of art projects and will soon be working on quilts.

“These girls are learning how women in their lives can influence them,Ó said Williams.

They have access to a professional kitchen at the Inn on Gore and do a lot of cooking. Ò ItÕ s fortunate for them that Susan and I are both professional cooks,Ó said Williams, owner/operator of Cafe Sarah. Ò Most of the cooking we do with these girls is pretty elaborate.Ó This winter the troop built a giant snow dragon in front of the Inn on Gore for all the visiting skiers to enjoy.

Most of the junior scouts have been together since first grade and this will be their fourth year together.

A project their planning to work on in the spring is recycling and learning how to compost.

The Brownie Troop 3493 is also lead by Sarah Williams but co

led with Rachel DeGroat. Ò These young Brownie Scouts are little balls of energy,Ó said Williams. Ò We keep them busy with Arts and Crafts projects but they keep us just as busy with all the energy they have. We have so much fun with these young girls.Ó Troops 3295 and 3289 of Indian Lake are led by Shelly Oliver, Elizabeth Noonan and Michelle DeShaw.

Recently they went tubing at Oak Mountain and skating, and they were joined by Girl Scouts from Speculator, Wells and Northville.

TheyÕ ve also spent a lot of time learning their leadership roles and earning patches.

The scouts write in their journals on a regular basis, keeping records of their accomplishments made throughout the community. Ò WeÕ re teaching these girls responsibility, how to work together and other life lessons theyÕ ll take with them into the future,Ó said Oliver.

This year all three leaders will spend their last year with the scouts. New leaders are unknown as of right now. Ò WeÕ d like to plan a big trip to celebrate all the time weÕ ve spent with these wonderful girls,Ó said Oliver. Ò This is my sixth year as a scout leader.Ó They plan to go on their annual camping trip at Lake Lewey again this year and are still thinking about a major spring activity.

About Girl Scouts

The health care group lost more than $3 million last fiscal year, he said, citing factors such as more outpatient care rather than inpatient care and continued cuts in reimbursement programs.

Private-pay patients are the cream of the crop in the healthcare field because of their ability to cover their costs.

OBITUARIES

To recruit more lucrative private-pay patients, Tri-County recently remodeled five rehabilitation rooms with the help of several area businesses, including Barton Mines, OscarÕ s Smokehouse, Glens Falls National Bank, M&T Bank and Upstate Insurance Agency.

Born August 25, 1920 in New York City, she was the daughter of the late Thorwald and Anna (Knudsen) Antons.

Marian spent her youth in Staten Island and was a 1938 graduate of Port Richmond High School. She then worked a secretary in the Army Air Corps during WWII before obtaining a degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC. Marian later became a pattern maker and national designer for notable fashion companies, including Mr. Pants.

She wed Thorleif Joseph Berntsen on December 6, 1941; the couple was married for nearly 63 years before his passing October 25, 2006.

For more than 40 years, Marian was a member of the North River United Methodist Church, where she taught Sunday school and accompanied church services on the piano and organ. She was also an accomplished artist, and long-term member of the Ocean County Art Guild; there she devoted her time and talent to help others in their pursuit of art.

Besides her parents, and beloved husband, Marian was predeceased by two granddaughters, Meegan Fosdick and Chelsea Eterginoso.

She is survived by four daughters, Annette Gardner of Dallas, PA, Beatrice Jay and her husband, Stanley, of Staten Island, Carol Fosdick and her husband, Jeff, of North River, and Dorothy Eterginoso and her husband, Richard, of Staten Island; eight grandchildren, Matthew and Jonathan Runquist, Ralph Gardner, Alison and Eric Jay, and Arianne and Josie Fosdick, Todd and Sheridan Millington, and Rylee Eterginoso; seven greatgrandchildren, Connor, Addison, Anders, Hannah, Haven, Winifred, and Myles.
