FOUNDATION EVENT

N. Hudson grabs Frontier Town

By Pete DeMola pete@denpubs.com

Attendees listen to Andy Robinson, a Vermont-based consultant, discuss marketing and social media strategy at a seminar hosted by the Adirondack Foundation and the Essex Community Fund at the Whallonsburg Grange Hall on Friday, May 9. “Today’s seminar focused on marketing and building a better board,” said Adirondack Foundation spokesman Chris Morris. “We offer these seminars as a way to help non-profits with some of the challenges they face on a daily basis.”

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ On April 30, George Moore went to the Best Western Plus Inn and Suites in Ticonderoga and joined the 151 other folks who registered to bid on the 105 parcels that Essex County had seized from delinquent taxpayers and were now auctioning off to the highest bidder.

Moore thought the four parcels adjacent to his holdings would make a good addition to his portfolio. When he left the auction that afternoon, he assumed his winning bid of $49,500 sealed the deal.

Not so fast. On Monday, May 12, the Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to reject MooreÕ s bid and kick the property, which is located at the intersection of Blue Ridge Road and Route 9, over to the town of North Hudson for $60,000.

Palace Theater in Lake Placid enters the digital movement

By Jon Hochshartner jon@denpubs.com

LAKE PLACID Ñ After months of intense fundraising efforts, The Palace Theater in Lake Placid has put an end to the threat of Ò going darkÓ and installed digital projectors for each of the theaterÕ s four screens. Nearly 1,000 individual contributions helped ensure that the lights in the Palace will remain on for years to come.

Barbara Clark, who owns the Palace Theater with her husband Reggie, said she was relieved the conversion had taken place. Ò People come in and theyÕ re really happy, and we are too,Ó Clark said. But nevertheless, her feelings were ambiguous. Ò ItÕ s a mixed bag of feelings,Ó she said. Ò Because weÕ re losing our old system.Ó Clark said that while she and her husband knew how to personally operate the previous machinery, they were at a loss with the new technology. Ò Now we donÕ t know anything,Ó Clark said. Ò ItÕ s a different generation.Ó Clark said the Palace Theater was keeping one 35mm projector in operation, primarily at this point due to nostalgia. She was unsure if the projector would be used to regularly show classic films.

Support from Adirondack Bank, Community Bank, and Kinney Drugs, as well as backing from elected officials helped launch the campaign last spring. About $150,000 has been raised through the Adirondack North Country Association.

The Lake Placid business community stepped up the fundraising effort with the Mirror Lake Inn and High Peaks Resort taking the lead to ensure the future of the villageÕ s vibrant Main Street. The Push for the Palace Committee, comprised of several concerned locals, contributed greatly to the campaignÕ s progress with ample support from High Peaks Resort.

In the past year, locals have supported and attended dozens of Go Digital fundraisers including: the Red Carpet Premier, The Ò GhostbustersÓ screening at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts, Trivia Night at Will Rogers, Zumba by Jessica Nugent, Songs at Mirror Lake concert series, the Smoke Signals benefit show, and countless others.

Foundation gifts totaled more than $26,000 with significant donations from the Henry Uihlein, Jana, Lockwood, Jack M. Davis, Landon Family, and Susan & Woodrow Gandy Charitable foundations. Tremendous support also came from the Burrows Family, who contributed $20,000, and Jack Bogle, who contributed $25,000.

Other area theaters have not quite raised sufficient funds to complete the conversion to digital. The Strand in Schroon Lake

has $22,500 remaining. The Hollywood in Au Sable Forks has $20,500 remaining and The Strand in Plattsburgh has $25,000 remaining.

Rio 2 was the last film shown at the Lake Placid Palace Theater.

Elizabethtown hospital to assume Au Sable Forks practice

By Jon Hochshartner jon@denpubs.com

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Elizabethtown Community Hospital (ECH) has entered into an agreement with Dr. Richard Bremer to assume his medical practice in AuSable Forks upon his retirement this summer.

According to Bremer, there were no bids for his practice besides that offered by ECH. Ò No one else contacted me,Ó Bremer said, adding that he planned to spend his retirement with his family and enjoying the outdoors. Ò IÕ m going to miss the patients and IÕ m going to miss helping people.Ó Initially, Elizabethtown Community Hospital staff will meet with patients in the same location currently occupied by Bremer. Plans are currently being developed to either renovate

an existing structure or build a new health center in the town. Hospital staff will begin seeing patients on July 1, pending state approval.

State approval is expected by later this spring.

Bremer has made the decision to retire after more than 40 years as a family practice physician. His medical practice has served countless patients and their family members over the years. According to Bremer, his decision to work with the hospital to facilitate this transition underscores his respect for the organization. Ò My top priority is to ensure that community members continue to receive quality healthcare services,Ó he said. Ò Many of the people in this community have been my patients for years, so it is vitally important to me that they continue to be well cared-for. Elizabethtown Community HospitalÕ s community-based

health centers ensure that people have access to quality care. I am delighted to be able to entrust the hospital and its health center staff with my patientsÕ well-being.Ó The hospital employs a nurse practitioner and physician who will be meeting with patients and overseeing patient care. Patients in AuSable Forks will have easy access to all hospital services including radiology, lab, physical therapy, cardiac rehab, pulmonary rehab and chemotherapy.

Dr. Rob DeMuro, ECH medical director, explained that patients wonÕ t notice a disruption in care, and may actually notice some enhanced services. Ò We expect a very smooth transition,Ó he said. “Patients will ultimately benefit from the installation of electronic medical record technology, fiber optic connectivity and telemedi-

cine capabilities.Ó The hospital owns a network of communitybased health centers throughout Essex County, believing that it is vitally important to offer healthcare services to residents of, and visitors to, the Essex County region. Ò In many cases, Dr. BremerÕ s patients are also ECH patients,Ó said Hospital CEO Rod Boula. Ò We want people throughout the region to continue receiving quality healthcare close to their home communities; we also want to promote continuity of care for patients among the community-based health centers and the main hospital facility. Our organizations operate with the same basic mission: providing healthcare to the Essex County area. This allows Dr. BremerÕ s mission to continue.Ó

APA accepting comments for Jay Mountain Wilderness UMP RAY BROOK Ñ The Adirondack Park Agency (APA) is accepting public comment on State Land Master Plan conformance for the recently submitted amendment to the 2010 Jay Mountain Wilderness Unit Management Plan (UMP). The Jay Mountain Wilderness UMP amendment was proposed to ensure the UMP is consistent with the constitutional amendment approved by voters in November 2013 that permits exploratory sampling on the state-owned parcel in the Town of Lewis, Essex County. The APA will accept written comments on this matter until June 2, 2014.

The constitutional amendment authorizes NYCO Materials, Inc. to conduct sampling on the 200-acre parcel, known as Lot 8, to determine the quantity and quality of wollastonite on the site, which is adjacent to the companyÕ s long-standing mine.

The current Jay Mountain Wilderness Area includes Lot 8, which is part of the State Forest Preserve and is governed by Article XIV, Section 1 of the State Constitution (Article XIV). The property is also subject to the provisions of the Adirondack Park State Land Master Plan (APSLMP) as outlined in the 2010

Unit Management Plan for the Jay Mountain Wilderness area.

The amendment is intended to: • Recognize that a constitutional amendment approved by the voters on November 5, 2013 implicitly repeals APSLMP guidelines for Wilderness that otherwise would prohibit NYCOÕ s mineral sampling operations within the Jay Mountain Wilderness area; • Make the UMP consistent with the constitutional amendment; and • Note that detailed terms and conditions governing the mineral sampling operations

will be set forth in a Temporary Revocable Permit (TRP) issued by DEC. Address written comments to: NYS Adirondack Park Agency P.O. Box 99 1133 NYS Route 86 Ray Brook, NY 12977 Or by email - apa_slmp@gw.dec.state.ny.us Description of the proposed action is available for downloaded from the APAÕ s website at www.apa.state.ny.us.

County

Country: How to grow the economy while simultantiously facing state regulations. Ò Ninety percent of the townÕ s land is owned by the state,Ó he told the board. Ò This is critical to our economic welfare. ItÕ s one of the few properties in town that can be developed.Ó Moore said while he did not speak directly with George Moore, nor did he attend the auction or send a representative to directly bid on the property, his sources indicated the latter would not develop the plot, but would rather flip it, something that the supervisor said he felt would not be in the townÕ s best economic interest.

George Moore could not be reached for comment by the time this story went to press.

If Ron MooreÕ s request winds its way through the legislative process, the full board will vote on it in early-June.

Moore, the town supervisor, said while he

envisions large-scale development for the property in the future Ñ including possible industrial development, something that is permissible under Adirondack Park Agency regulations because the parcel is located within the hamlet, a land designation that offers the maxium potential for development Ñ for now, he would like to sculpt an area for recreational usage that would capitalize on the townÕ s location as a node for snowmobiling trails that fan out throughout the Adirondacks. Ò IÕ m opposed to the principle of taking it out of the free market and putting it into the gov-

ernmentÕ s hands,Ó said Minerva Town Supervisor Stephen McNally. Ò But if this is going to better the community, then I fully support it.Ó No other parcels were pulled on Monday.

But upon Schroon Lake Town Supervisor Mike MarnellÕ s request, a lot in his town was set aside, not fully rejected, so that the parties could hash out easement rights for snowmobiling access, the burgeoning industry that advocates say would offer a lifeline to the regionÕ s ailing economy.

In total, $146,379.88 in back taxes are owed to the county on the property.

Continued from page 1 Aside from the town, Moore, an 87-year-old who runs a scrap metal yard in Keeseville, has the most invested in this decision.

He owns, and pays taxes on, the so-called AFrame, a large structure that once anchored Frontier Town, the now-shuttered theme park whose fate county officials have spent much of the year debating.

The lot, according to materials provided by the firm that brokered the sale, spans 88 acres and has a market value of $568,900.

At the meeting, County Attorney Daniel Manning and other officials were quick to point out that the denial was permissible under the saleÕ s terms and conditions.

North Hudson Town Supervisor Ronald Moore, no relation to George, pinned his request to an ongoing issue that is common in the North

Valley News Editorial

Minimum wage: Where they stand

A

fter decades of dormancy, the labor movement seems to be finally stirring. And yet sadly this political awakening seems not to have yet reached the workers of the North Country.

Just in the past year, the Washington city of SeaTac raised itÕ s minimum wage to $15 an hour, and other locales are considering similar measures. Socialist Alternative candidate Kshama Sawant, running as an open opponent of capitalism, won a city-wide election to join the Seattle City Council. Fast food strikes planned across the country and the world for May 15, by which time we will have gone to press, are expected to be the largest in history.

But where is this newfound class-consciousness in upstate New York? ItÕ s not as if weÕ re lacking the requisite ingredients. We can see cavernous wealth disparity all around us. Nearby Franklin is the second poorest county in New York state. In Lake Placid, a supposed winter wonderland, the Cascade Acres trailer park is situated just a few minutes drive from the lavish Mirror Lake Inn. In what is perhaps an indication to which the exploitation of workers is not on our political leaders’ radar, few of the local politicians who we discussed the issue with spoke with confidence regarding the level of government at which the minimum wage for public and private workers could be raised.

Lewis supervisor David Blades said he didnÕ t believe he had the power to raise the minimum wage at the town level, but even if he did, he likely wouldnÕ t support it. ÒI probably would not support a raise, but then again I might.Ó Essex County Attorney Daniel Manning said he didnÕ t believe the minimum wage could be adjusted at the town or county level, but he wasnÕ t sure. ÒI have no idea,Ó M anning said. ÒI tÕ s not anything thatÕ s ever occurred to me.Ó Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland said he didnÕ t know offhand at what level of government the minimum wage could be raised, but either way he would not support a pay hike for working families. ÒI think it kills economic development for small business,Ó G illilland said.

North Elba Supervisor Robi Politi, who owns a real estate company, saw raising workersÕ pay as a non-issue. “I don’t think about the minimum wage,” Politi said. “I have bigger fish to fry.”

Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew said he didnÕ t think the minimum wage could be adjusted at the town or county level. But he would support tying it to cost of living adjustments.

Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava said he thought the minimum wage could only be raised on the federal or state level. Ò( Otherwise) that would require home-rule legislation,Ó he said. ÒI f thatÕ s even possible.Ó Still Scozzafava said he supported raising the minimum wage, though he didnÕ t have an exact figure in mind. “I think the overall impact on the economy would be positive and it would reduce our dependency on social programs,Ó he said, adding there were large numbers of the working poor in the Adirondacks. ÒI f you work, in my opinion, you have the right to support yourself and a family.Ó Scozzafava continued, highlighting the pay gap between corporate executives and rank-andfile workers. ÒT hey pay their top people the equivalent of a thousand of their employees or more a year,Ó he said, before interjecting he was Òn ot against capitalism.Ó Those workers who make well above the minimum wage might believe the struggles of their more-exploited brethren do not effect their economic position. But such a view is shortsighted.

Boosting the income of the lowest-paid workers will raise the salaries of higher-paid workers as expectations for fair compensation rise. On the other hand, reducing the pay of the lowest-paid workers will pull down the salaries of higher-paid workers as expectations for fair compensation drop.

North Country laborers should vote their class interests. We should assess local candidates positions’ based on whether they benefit the working class and to what degree. Do our politicians support raising the minimum wage for working families? And if so, how large of a raise do they support? Are our politicians in favor of shifting the tax burden for necessary government services toward the rich? And if so, to what extent? In deciding for whom to vote, North Country workers should consider questions like these. Ñ Denton Editorial Board

After tax auction, resident wages war against county

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com NORTH HUDSON Ñ A long-simmering property dispute came to a head last month when lawyers for a local resident filed suit against Essex County ahead of an auction designed to sell off their tax delinquent properties.

The plaintiff, Sindy Brazee, alledges the town of North Hudson is trying Ò squeezeÓ her off the property and is using the county machine to intimidate her after their efforts, including what she perceived as Ò bogus code enforcement,Ó were thwarted.

But hereÕ s the catch: Brazee does not own the pair of parcels. She has never owned the land and the cabin where she lives, both of which technically belong to the county, who took possession after the former owners, North Hudson Associates LLC (and before them, Panther Mountain Water Park, Inc.), failed to pay taxes since 2007.

Welcome to the murky world of squatterÕ s rights.

At the center of the lawsuit is the concept of adverse possession, the doctrine under which a person other than the deed-holder can claim ownership under a certain set of conditions.

According to court documents obtained by the Valley News, Brazee has been in Ò continuous, uninterrupted occupation and possessionÓ of the two parcels on 4050 Blue Ridge Road in North Hudson since August 2003, something that legal precedent dictates might be enough to shine a light in her favor.

The plaintiff, who works as a landscaper at Yogi Bear Campgrounds in North Hudson, said she had arrived at an agreement with the former owners to stay on the property in order to fulfill the mandated residency requirements as part of

her former position as the townÕ s assessor.

After making a series of improvements to the cabin, Brazee said she lost contact with the owners. Ò They fell off the face of the earth,Ó she said.

Brazee told the Valley News that she has tried to pay the $26,585.03 in back taxes owed on the larger parcel but the county has refused to allow her to settle up and take ownership. Ò IÕ m prepared to pay full taxes, penalties and fees,” she said in a phone interview. “I find it baffling that the county is spending money fighting me in court when they can have all money owed. Why would they take that route?Ó Brazee said she approached the county as far back as 2007 to pay the back taxes, but Treasurer Michael Diskin advised her to wait to see if the then-owners would square up. Ò Sure enough, they came in to pay the taxes,Ó she said. Ò These were same people who owned it prior, but they got a new name. I went to the county clerk’s office and saw two men who were not familiar to me and I got any info I could. They all knew I was here.Ó Now, Brazee alleges that North Hudson Town Supervisor Ron Moore is conspiring with the county to take ownership of the property for the amount owed on back taxes Ñ not at the full market value, which was assessed at $247,900. Ò When the county took over these properties, there were some people living there and they were issued eviction notices,Ó Moore told the Valley News in a phone interview. Ò As I understand it, Ms. Brazee obtained legal counsel and she has not vacated.Ó Moore said Brazee has not, to his recollection, discussed the issue personally with him, including at a town board meeting last month.

For Brazee to emerge victorious over the county, her legal team will have to clearly dem-

onstrate the common law requirements that have emerged over time that have set a precedent for adjudicating similar cases.

County Attorney Daniel Manning told the Valley News he was aware of the lawsuit but couldnÕ t comment on an ongoing legal case.

Prior to the auction on April 30, property owners were notified that they had two weeks to settle up. North Hudson Associates LLC did not respond to these official notifications, nor could they be reached for comment for this article.

2014 High Peaks Quilt Expo seeks participants MINEVILLE Ñ Quilters and vendors are being sought to participate in an upcoming quilt expo which will take place on October 25 in the Mineville VFW. The expo is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with proceeds to benefit High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care.

During the expo, the VFW will have food on sale for participants and spectators.

HPHPC is looking for donated items to be used for raffles and a white elephant table, quilting and sewing related, new and used.

Quilt and vendor entry forms coming soon and will be found at www.highpeakshospice. org under the News and Events menu and on the upcoming events page.

Rail is safe

To the Valley News: Contrary to your editorial, Ò Race against the rails,Ó May 7, DOT-111 tank cars have not been outlawed by the Canadian government and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) does believe that enhanced cars built to a higher standard are appropriate for carrying crude oil and ethanol.

It is well understood throughout the industry and in the government that rail tank cars have achieved a strong safety record, with 99.997 percent of carloads delivered without accident-related leakage. Despite a sharp increase in the number of carloads per year, there has not been an increase in the accident rate. Much of this safety record was achieved with DOT-111 tank cars which make up the majority of the tank car fleet, and can continue to serve a valuable purpose.

At the same time, both industry and government have long been concerned about improving the performance of tank cars. Since 2011, car manufacturers, owners and lessors have taken voluntary action, along with the Association of American Railroads, to put more than 57,000 enhanced cars into service by 2011, investing more than $7 billion to do so.

Some of these enhancements include steel jackets surrounding the tank, • Ó steel head shields to protect each end from puncture, thermal protection systems and enhanced design of both top and bottom fittings. These are the same types of improvements that NTSB has recommended.

ItÕ s true, the Department of Transportation (DOT) needs to set a standard for the design of newly built tank cars, and take steps that will accelerate the retrofit of existing cars in the fleet. But, more than that DOT needs to take a holistic approach to require action on railroad operations, appropriate classifications of materials, and emergency response procedures and training.

The call for an outright ban on a certain design standard, however, reflects a gross misunderstanding of the manufacture, design and usage of rail tank cars.

Tom Simpson, President Railway Supply Institute

Money may grow on trees I

f you are sitting at your maple kitchen table, or rocking in that old oak rocking chair your grandma gave you, there is one thing they have in common. They are both made of wood and they came from trees that were harvested.

Logging and forest management practices are as old as civilization.

In the beginning it may have been a sharp stone that was beaten against a tree. That lead to an axe, which is just a sharp stone with a handle, then the steel age came and a metal head was forged.

Along with an axe, a saw was used and the two became logging tools. The chainsaw came about and made the axe and hand saw obsolete.

Horses or oxen were used to haul the logs out of the woods. Wagons and sleds, then trains and trucks hauled the timber. In the end, the logs were delivered to sawmills, paper mills, furniture factories, and any other venture that utilized wood products.

Things have changed. Chainsaws are still used, but slowly they have moved over to allow the really big boy toys to take over.

This past weekend I took advantage of the nice weather and went to the Northeast Forest Products Expo in Vermont. Huge equipment with names like Tigercat feller bunchers, Timberwolf firewood processors, Barko log loaders, Timberjack skidders, Timbco forwarders, and Bandit chippers where on hand to see, climb aboard and some were even being demonstrated. Powered by diesel engines like Cummins and Caterpillar, these forest and timber harvesting machines were awesome. Watching a 16 foot log 20 inches in diameter being chipped up in under a minute is something to see.

Smaller forest owners needing equipment got to choose from names like HUD-SON, Farmi, Stihl, Husqvarna, Fransgard and Igland. Portable sawmills that go to the woods were on hand and both beams and boards were being cut as demonstrations of the machines ability and ease of use.

Forest management for bio-fuels such as chips and pellets, saw logs, and firewood products all have some specialty machines.

Whether you own a small woodlot like my own, where I was looking for a three point hitch winch to allow me to manage and harvest my own logs for boards, fence posts and firewood, or you own a thousand acres of timber where you utilize production equipment, it was all there to see, hear and touch.

Band saw mills cut out boards. Chippers chipped chips. Shavers shaved shavings and

chainsaws and rotary blades sawed out firewood. It was two days of pine scented pleasure and lumber leisure.

Soren EriksonÕ s Game of Logging held a training session on chainsaw safety and felling tactics. I got to see the fellow who trained me back when: Game of Logging saw master, Bill Lindloff of ProCuts Co. Along with all the equipment, there were two Discovery ChanBy Rich Redman nel logging documentary loggers on hand who are renowned. Bobby Goodson of the Swamp Loggers show and Jeff Pelletier of American Loggers fame were on hand to meet some of the young blossoming loggers, woodsmen and women and future foresters. I got to meet both of the guys and they are the real deal.

For Christmas I bought my grandsons the logging DVDÕ s so they would know what forestry and logging was all about and not have some misconception about cutting down a tree. Bobby Goodson and the Pelletier Family are big names in our house and the boys have learned a respect for logging. I would rather have them watch a DVD about logging, than sitting doing some stupid video games killing people.

Soon my young trainees will be in the woods with me learning about trees, forestry and timber management, while we make deer and grouse habitat.

Homes, barns, towns and cities were built from forest products. The land gets farmed for food, and the forest gets farmed for wood products. So while you sit back in that rocker of oak, have coffee at the maple kitchen table, read a book or paper or think about that note you wrote to your mother for MotherÕ s Day with a Ticonderoga pencil, remember they are all made from forest products.

Many of our neighbors make a living logging and working the land. Forestry is the wise use of a renewable and sustainable product. In my opinion we should be using more wood and less oil and plastic.

Money may grow on trees if you manage your woodlot; plastic doesnÕ t, but wood does!

The NYS Woodsmens Field Days are held the third full weekend in August in Boonville NY on the Oneida County Fairgrounds. For more information check out www.starinfo.com/woodsmen or e-mail fielddays@aol.com.

Fly challenge scheduled WILMINGTON Ñ The 15th Annual AuSable River 2 Fly Challenge will take place on May 16 and 17 on the West Branch of the AuSable River in Wilmington. This event is held annually to celebrate the joy of fishing, the spirit of sportsmanship, and to help with the preservation of the AuSable River.

Although a true fisherman’s dream come true, you don’t have to be a fisherman to participate in the weekend events. The public is welcome to take part in much of the weekend even if they choose not to fish in the competition. These events include the Friday night Fly Tyers Reception and the Saturday night Banquet.

Friday evening the 16, join us in the Cloudspin Lounge at Whiteface Ski Center where you will be entertained by Saratoga Musicians the Ò Seth Warden Duo.Ó As they grab your ears attention with fun fiddle and banjo music, guests’ eyes will be focused on the Live Fly Tying demonstrations taking place all around the room. Learn some new techniques from our talented fly tyers or just marvel at the realistic designs they can create. All this and “fish stories” too as the men and women will have just completed day one of a 2 day event and are sure to have lots of tales to tell. But the fun wonÕ t be over then.

Saturday, the fun continues with the 2 Fly Banquet. The public is again encouraged to attend, however you must reserve your space ahead of time for this night. At the banquet, the winners of the competition will receive their prizes and Ò bragging rightsÓ will be honored. There will also be loads of raffle and auction items up for the bidding and a special presentation by local Retired Forest Ranger Gary Hodgson. Gary will be bringing his homemade Birch Bark Canoe with him and talking about how to make one yourself. If you have never met Gary or heard any of his stories before, you wonÕ t want to miss this. For more information, to register for the event or to reserve a spot for the dinner, contact Michelle at 946-2255 or visitwww.AusableFlyFishing.com
