Speed limit in areas will be reduced to 45 mph By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER
WILMINGTON | The state Department of Transportation (DOT) will begin using less salt on Route 86 between Lake Placid and Wilmington. Part of a DOT salt pilot test program, the speed limit on some parts of the 16-mile stretch of roadway currently set at 55 will be reduced to 45 miles per hour for the winter months. An outline of the experimental project was presented briefly to Essex County Supervisors at the Ways and Means Committee meeting last Monday. » Road salt Cont. on pg. 4

A mountain dream realized
ELIZABETHTOWN | Essex County’s Health Department has secured a $250,000 grant from the Adirondack Health Institute designed to improve local access to fresh foods. “It’s really some unbelievable collaborative work for my staff and farmers in the local area,” Essex County Health Director Linda Beers told supervisors last August. The “Well-Fed Essex” program will seek to innovate existing services, Essex County Health Educator Jessica Darney Buehler told county lawmakers. The Keeseville Pharmacy, for instance, has allocated a section of their store to showcase fresh produce from local farms to boost access. Part of the grant, which does not require a local match, will allocate funds to build a template so that program can be replicated elsewhere. “We’re thinking about Moriah,” Buehler said. » Well-Fed Cont. on pg. 3
Adirondack Land Trust preserves a gem that will eventually be open to the public By Tim Rowland STA FF W RITER
JAY | Popping up along the East Branch of the Ausable River between the majestic mountains of Jay and Whiteface is a cluster of conical, 2,000-foot prominences that are too big to be called hills, but too small to be called mountains. » Fourpeaks Cont. on pg. 2
