By Lindsay Yandon lindsay@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — Members of the North Creek Volunteer Fire Department pulled on many layers of warm clothes just days before Christmas to pump gas at the North Creek Stewarts Shop. On one of the coldest days of the winter, according to program coordinator Elizabeth Canaan, the volunteers came out to raise money as part of the Stewarts Holiday Match Program. They pumped gas for six hours in order to raise donations that will be matched by Stewarts and donated to local non-profit organizations. Despite hard economic times, the North Creek VFD topped last years record and raised more than $300 this year — remaining the top fund raiser two years in a row. “We did anything we could to try and help out,” said Fire Chief Steve Studnicky. “It was a great improvement from last year.” This is the third year that the North Creek VFD has participated in the match program and were joined by the Wevertown VFD and many other local organizations. Stewarts has been hosting this program since 1986. The North Creek volunteers raised more than $1,600, which will be match by Stewarts and distributed among applying non-profits. Regionally, $630,000 was raised by Stewarts Shop volunteers and will total a $1.26 million donation to regional organizations. In Johnsburg, many scout troops received funds as well as the outreach center, food pantry and Tannery Pond Community Center.

American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences celebrates 100 years By Lindsay Yandon lindsay@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — The American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences (AAFCS) brought in the new year with an anniversary worth celebrating. Over 200 Family and Consumer Science (FACS) professionals and students from across the United States recently convened at the High Peaks Resort in Lake Placid to celebrate their 100th year. There, in the place where Ellen H. Richards laid the foundation for home economics with a small group of her peers, they celebrated the strides that the AAFCS has taken and explored their options for sustainability in the future. The historical group, deemed Lake Placid Club and sponsored by Annie Godfrey Dewey and Melvil Dewey led to the birth of the American Home Economics Association in 1909, which is today the AAFCS. There was an air of change at the Centennial Celebration in Lake Placid that acknowledged the places that the AAFCS has been and where the current professional and student members alike hope it can go. “FACS is a forward thinking profession. We take on

TUPPER LAKE — About 10 years ago, one of the regions most popular downhill ski areas closed down indefinitely. Outdoor enthusiasts and dedicated volunteers celebrated the grand reopening of the Big Tupper Ski Area Dec. 26. The opening comes as a significant milestone, especially for members of the Tupper Lake community who formed ARISE – Adirondack Residents Intent on Saving their Economy. The community action group formed in 2009 and spearheaded efforts to reopen the popular ski center on Mount Morris. ARISE President Jim LaValley said opening day was a great success. “It was excellent,” he said. “There was lots of excitement and there were lots of smiles.” Mountain Manager Bill Mozdier said six trails were open for Dec. 30, and all were in excellent condition. He added that snow forecasted over the next few days could allow volunteers to open all trails by the weekend. Mozdier also estimated that more than 200 skiers and snowboarders hit the slopes of Mount Morris for opening day. According to skibigtupper.org, the mountain is running with a four-to-10inch base and packed powder. The mountain is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. “The parking lot was full of cars,” LaValley said. “It was a great opening day after 10 years of not having the ski area open.”

Bikers hit the slopes Won’t let the snow stop them By Lindsay Yandon lindsay@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — Bikers headed to Gore Mountain over the weekend and braved the snow and cold for the annual “The Snow Won't Stop Us” Mountain Bike Duel Slalom. Despite the temperature lingering in the mid-20s, 12 competitors raced down The Arena for a chance at prizes from Inside Edge Ski and Bike shop in Queesnbury. Riders, however, mostly did it for the thrill. Gore Mountain takes pride in providing mountain biking terrain in it’s off-season, according to Marketing Director Emily Stanton. This event gives the bikers an opportunity to stay involved year-round. “I love to ride and the snow usually slows me down a bit,” said competitor Steve Battaglini of Ballston Spa, who has been taking part in this race since 2002. “I use any excuse to get out and ride.” The snow does create some navigational and breaking problems for the bikers and their equipment. All competitors are required to wear helmets and some equip their bikes with spikes and thicker tires for the event. “You’re better off unhooking your breaks,” said Battaglini. “Because they just don’t work in the snow.” Riders raced on two courses and their times were totaled for a final time that was matched against competitors in varrying age brackets. Nick Simon IV of Johnstown had the fastest time of the day with 49.51 seconds in the 19-29 division. Alex McAlonen of Bakers Mills won the 18 and under division with a time of 58.7 seconds and Mike Mullen of Hudson Falls took home the 30 and over division with a time of

55.96 seconds. North Creek local and mountain bike enthusiast, Richard Sibley stumbled across this event in a rather unorthodox fashion. “I came to Gore looking for a job and saw the publicity for the race,” he said. “So, I thought - why stay at home?” Sibley also fixes bikes in his spare time and was riding a basic mountain bike with no frills this year. This was his first year competing and he plans to be back next year. “I use this event as an opportunity to carry over my riding from summer and get out on my bike,” Mullen said. This event proved that local bikers will do anything for a chance to get back to riding.
Results for the competition are as follows: 18 and Under 1st - Alex McAlonen of Bakers Mills:58.7 seconds 2nd - Travis Mosher of Johnstown:59.76 seconds 19 - 29 1st - Nick Simon IV of Johnstown:49.51 seconds 2nd - Chaz Volcheck of Rensselaer:51.35 seconds 3rd - Eric Fisk of Mount Upton:51.83 seconds 4th - Jason Mass of Ballston Spa:56.1 seconds 30 and Over 1st - Mike Mullen of Hudson Falls:55.96 seconds 2nd - Steve Battaglini of Ballston Spa:56.63 seconds 3rd - Eric Aable of Carmel:60.81 seconds 4th - William Potter of Mohawk:65.16 seconds 5th - David Paquette of Rome:69.01 seconds 6th - Richard Sibley North Creek:69.66 seconds

Working for the Man: Songs and Stories of Adirondack Lumberjacks and Miners
InBrief
NORTH CREEK — Tannery Pond Community Center will host musician Lee Knight and Adirondack Museum Educator Christine Campeau as they share songs and stories of logging camps and mining towns on Jan. 10. The program begins at 3:30 p.m. and is free for Adirondack Museum members and school-aged children; $5 for non-members. Logging camps and mining towns were found throughout the Adirondacks in the late nineteenth century. The work of lumberjacks and miners was characterized by dangerous conditions, long hours, and low pay. Life was hard and sometime heartbreaking, but was also filled with music, laughter, stories, and strong community ties. Museum Educator Christine Campeau will share historic photographs, objects, and stories of work, family, and life in Adirondack logging and mining communities. Musician Lee Knight will sing traditional ballads of logging camps, mining towns, and rural life.

NORTH CREEK — Demonstrating their commitment to energy efficiency, the New York State Energy Research Development Authority (NYSERDA), as part of the High Performance Residential Development Challenge selected four building science teams to build new homes that consume half the energy of a standard home built to the building code. One of the teams is The Levy Partnership, Inc. (TLP), a specialist in the design and construction of high performance buildings. TLP is working with Stephens Construction of Saratoga Springs to design, build and test an ultra-energy efficient home in Hague. The home will demonstrate the high level of efficiency that can be achieved using affordable technologies. The Challenge enabled Stephens to employ high performance, emerging building methods that maximize energy savings. Steve Haroth, President of Stephens, noted that the Challenge demonstrates their commitment to building homes with a minimal carbon footprint that are a hedge against future energy price hikes. “Why build the old way when you can choose proven technology that returns your
investment every single month for the entire life of your home?” says Haroth. Compared to a home built to the state code, the Stephens design will reduce heating and cooling energy use by over 60%. Among the advanced technologies to be used in the home include structural insulated panel (SIP) walls that provide a continuous five-and-a-half inch layer of rigid insulation on all exterior walls, a ground source heat pump that pulls energy for heating and cooling from the earth surrounding the home, and a heat recovery ventilator that captures the heat from exhaust air and transfers it to incoming fresh air. Jordan Dentz, TLP’s Project Manager for the Challenge, notes that, “the NYSERDA Challenge serves as a much needed model for the state’s homebuilders, a catalyst for moving residential construction in New York to a level of energy performance beyond Energy Star.” The Stephens home is one example of what’s possible given technologies available today; it is a huge step toward energy independence and points the direction for where residential construction is headed in the years ahead.
These clinics are free and open to the public. Appointments are not needed for these clinics. These vaccines are available for everyone 6 months of age and older who want the vaccine, including (for H1N1 flu vaccine) those who are not in the CDC target groups.

19th Century Magic at the Adirondack Museum By Lindsay Yandon lindsay@denpubs.com BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE — The Adirondack Museum will cling to its historical roots and invite Tom Verner, performer and historian of American magic to present a show at the museum Jan. 17. The Adirondack Museum is honored to present “19th Century Magic and Beyond,” according to Marketing Director Susan Dinnen. The show is open to all ages. In the 19th century, itinerant magicians traveled throughout the Adirondacks entertaining local residents and visitors with tricks and dazzling illusions. They usually performed in town halls and local hotels. Verner ’s shows include many of the set pieces of magic performed across the United States by magicians in the 1800s. Verner involves children and adults alike in his presentation. “He is humorous, entertaining, and intelligent in
what he does,” said Dineen. “Children delight in the magic and learn something at the same time.” Verner has performed magic around the world for 30 years. He has worked with the United Nations for the past eight years, creating magic for more than 400,000 refugee and orphaned children in many of the most troubled parts of the globe. He is also a clinical psychologist who practices and teaches. The magic program will be the first in the museum's popular Cabin Fever Sunday series, sponsored by the Glenn and Carol Pearsall Adirondack Foundation, dedicated to improving the quality of life for year-round residents of the Adirondack Park. The show will be held in the auditorium and will begin promptly at 1:30 p.m. Cabin Fever Sunday programs are offered at no charge to museum members. The fee for non-members is $5. There is no charge for

Warren County tax hike “a mess” To the News Enterprise: When the good folks of Warren County open their property tax bill this month, don't be surprised if there is a sudden uptake in illness. This increase is going to be a whopper! In some cases, the increase will exceed 20 percent. How did we get into this mess? It's a combination of several things; unfunded state mandates, reckless government spending on items that the government shouldn't be involved in, being overly generous in union negotiations and the list goes on. No matter, here we are! How do we make up the deficit projected for 2010? They (The Warren County Board of Supervisors) cut spending to the bone (Yeah, right!) and raise taxes. The choice on how to raise taxes came down to two choices. The first was a twoyear 1 percent increase in the sales tax, which could be dedicated to offset current expenses and result in no property tax increase or raise property taxes dramatically. Allow me to state here and now that I abhor both choices. The only fair tax is income tax based on your ability to pay. All others including sales taxes, property taxes, excise taxes, etc. are regressive and hurt low and fixed income people disproportionately. In early December, the Board of Supervisors looked at their options and decided that the least harmful of these bad choices was to do the temporary 1 percent raise in the sales tax. By their own admission, 40 percent would be born by tourists and the rest is at least somewhat discretionary. One week before voting on the final budget, the Supervisors were visited by a well-intentioned but short -sighted group of 23 business people decrying the 1 percent sales tax increase as being bad for business and affecting people on fixed income unfairly. I agree and having run my own business for 32 years, I understand their position. Between taxes and silly mandates, the government is your greatest adversary in operating a successful business. The only problem is that the alternative was far worse! No matter, certain supervisors capitulated and we now have this massive property tax increase A property tax increase is in no way discretionary. If you live in Warren County, you pay it. It is incredibly hurtful to those living on fixed incomes and not one dime of it is paid for by tourists. Whatever increases are paid by the residents is that much less they have to spend on local restaurants, entertainment, etc. In many cases, this may be the final straw that drives people out of their homes. I can guarantee you that the modest and temporary 1 percent increase in the sales tax on my spending would have only been a fraction of the increase in my property tax. Add to this the concern, that Chairman Monroe voiced concerning the fact that most likely, the County will be forced to borrow money at higher than normal interest rates to cover the expected delinquency in property tax collections and you have to ask, what were they thinking? The answer is simple, they weren't! These certain board members gave in to special interests to the detriment of the rest of us. It seems that this is the case at all levels of government. To paraphrase the great Abraham Lincoln, we now have government "of the few, by the few, and for the few." Here are the names of the short sighted supervisors and the towns and cities they represent.

Country Christmas Tour a success To the News Enterprise: On behalf of the Indian Lake Country Christmas Tour (CCT) Steering Committee, I want to thank the individuals, organizations, businesses and the Town of Indian Lake for their support and participation in the 2009 event. Thanks to them, 2009 was one of the most successful CCT’s in our 12 year history. The success of each CCT is determined by the quantity of “made in the adirondacks” hand-crafted items sold during our annual event. In addition, each activity and event, from the community tree lighting to the bonfire closing ceremony is evaluated. Last, but not least, we also solicit and analyze the feedback received from our visitors and customers. Once again, we thank our numerous Country Christmas Tour supporters and participants. Brenda Valentine, Chairperson
To the News Enterprise: There is no doubt that the North Country is known for the giving spirit of the people that live here. It never ceases to amaze me how this community comes together for a common goal, even in the toughest of times. Although there are many worthy causes to support in our area, there are few that affect the number and variety of that impacted by the annual United Way campaign. Our local United Way supports 33 member agencies. These agencies are staples in our North Country community, ones that most of us could not imagine life in our area without. The Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, YMCA, Senior Citizens Council, Champlain Valley Family Center, Alzheimer's Disease Assistance Center and Hospice to name just a few rely on the support of the United Way to continue to provide their much needed services in our area. This year, the United Way has a goal of $700,000 - a goal that can only be reached by all of us coming together as our North Country community always has. A gift to the United Way does not have to be large in order to make a difference. If everyone gives just a little, it is amazing how quickly it all adds up. Find out if your employer does payroll deduction to the United Way - the easiest way to give over time. If this is not available to you, please consider a gift, in any amount, to our United Way at 45 Tom Miller Road, Plattsburgh, NY 12901. Remember that every dollar brings us a step closer to providing services to all walks of life in our community. We all know someone that has been touched by the United Way and its 33 member agencies. Let's not let them down and show everyone that even in the toughest of times, the generosity of the people of the North Country will always shine. Thank you, in advance, for your generous support.

eing able to live in the Adirondacks is a gift and a privilege. Millions of people visit here every year and it’s not for the shopping, computer games, cell phone coverage, traffic jams, dirty air, pea soup water or the constant roar of machines. I love to live here because there is so much natural world still surrounding us and accessible for a little effort. There are the small gifts of wildness that are available for just opening your eyes, looking around, listening, smelling the air. One of our titmice showed up at our feeding station for the first time this year on Jan. 3—round as a snowball because it was 0 degrees and very windy. I say “ours” because it was very comfortable picking up hulled sunnies from the enclosed area next to the glass door with me standing there. I marvel at how these tiny creatures can function in the cold, surviving even the miserable nights cheerfully, it seems. Here’s a gift for a lot of you bird feeders. I mention this bird every year but people are still surprised when they first see it. Watch for a tiny brown “mouse” hitching its way up a nearby tree when its friends, the chickadee crowd, come in to feed. Brown creepers never come to your feeder but they hang out near their winter friends. You have to look sharp for them, but get yourself a “lifer” this winter! About the same time, a local bird feeder had a bird surprising to me this late into winter—a house or common wren. I’ve seen a winter wren in January when there was no snow on the ground, but a house wren ought to have more sense! Canada geese are not usually a treat (they are invasives in the Adirondacks in the summer), but this “hearing” was at least interesting. Late on Dec. 16 I heard lots of geese flying around near the house, too late in the year for migration, with snow on the ground, the ponds frozen over. A big flock was over-nighting on the river where there is no food for them. Odd, a first for me. Here’s a native mammal to look for, and I will be very excited the first time I see one here—another wild gift. They have been in the High Peaks all along (one used to live in the Lake Colden ranger ’s cupboard, which it could enter from the outside). I saw one near the Northwoods Club Road maybe fifteen years ago in old growth hemlock. But a friend saw one close to Igerna Road and his house a couple weeks ago in open balsam fir woods. It’s reddish brown, weighs a couple pounds, is in the weasel family and many native people here have never seen one—the American marten (also called pine marten and sable by old-timers). It’s a little bigger than a mink, eats mice, voles, can chase down red squirrels in trees (we have some spares!), and also likes berries and fruit. Some very different gifts to the local people are a number of newly created trails with small bridges in critical places, making skiing and snowshoeing possible. Steve Ovitt, our DEC ranger, has developed a loop trail, with help from many volunteers, from the Old Farm Clearing road near 13th Lake that goes to Botheration Pond and around to the road parking lot, for about eight miles. The bridge over the Sacandaga is worth walking to just for itself! He’s also rerouting the “Schaefer trail” up Gore Mt. because work on the interconnect has eliminated much of it. Part of the trail goes into the Roaring Brook ravine, where there are scenic cliffs and waterfalls. The Raymond Brook ski trail now connects with the Ski Bowl. The Halfway Brook trail going past The Vly (a great place to use a Hornbeck canoe) is improved. There are many wonderful new trails in our area now, designed so carefully that Steve hardly had to cut a tree. And there are more trail connections coming. Happy New Year!

Gender barriers falling as four women join county board By Jon Alexander
denpubs@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — History was made Monday inside the Essex County municipal center, but few of the gathered political leaders were aware of it. Four women were sworn into office as Essex County supervisors — and the addition of these four supervisors from Essex, Crown Point, Ticonderoga and Minerva respectively, swell the total number of female supervisors in the county to seven, an all-time high. But progress toward gender equality is slow, even as historic gender barriers erode, advocates and academics say. Across the state, the number of women in local elected positions still lags far behind their male counterparts. The number of women holding local elected office is growing, but drawing even with men is not on the immediate horizon, said Dr. Dina Refki, CEO of the Center for Women in Government & Civil Society at Albany University. “We are seeing progress, but the it is slow and uneven, so we are still have not reached the 50 percent mark,” Refki said. “Specifically in New York, we haven’t yet reached the critical mass we are looking for.” She noted that at the state level, the number of women in the Senate and Assembly has slowly swelled over the last 40 years. In 1975, only nine of the 210 total seats in the two legislative bodies were occupied by women. In 2009, this number swelled to 52, or 24.5 percent of the total legislative seats. Two women, Republican Ida Sammis and Democrat Mary Lilly, first joined the state Assembly in 1919, a year after suffrage. But even with the recent increase, New York ranks 24th among the states in terms of female political involvement. Refki noted that no data that compares the rates in trends

Local state Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward is a former member of the Essex County Board of Supervisors and in 1998 became the second female board chair after Morency. She said that when she first joined the board, she was faced with stereotypes that only made proving her political abilities all the more difficult. “When I walked into the board of supervisors, some of the guys called me powder puff,” she said. “I have never used a powder puff in my life, but that’s what you were greeted with. But not everyone was so skeptical of the political abilities of a woman. “I will say that there were men on the board at the time, like George Cannon, who took me under their wing.” The region has seen the rise of not only Sayward, but also state Senator and former chair of the Warren County board Betty Little, Assemblywoman Janet Duprey and her peer Dede Scozzafava. Sayward said Tuesday she believes that hard-wired differences between the sexes can be a female politician’s strength, not a weakness. “We are really good at bringing people to consensus,” Sayward said. “If there is an uprising in the house, who’s the one that has to get involved and get everybody to compromise? I think women are really good at that.” Sayward said that with women facing the many choices regarding children and careers, getting into politics is all about timing. But these options shouldn’t discourage a woman’s involvement. For her part, she waited until her youngest child went to college. Longtime Franklin town Supervisor and the first woman to hold the office of town supervisor in Franklin County, Mary Ellen Keith, left office only last week.

regarding women in local governments in rural and urban settings is available. But according to Mark LaVigne of the New York State Association of Counties, women are still well behind their male counterparts when it comes to county leadership posts. Only five of the 58 county chairs and four of the 17 county executives seats statewide are currently held by women. In Essex County, the first two women were elected to the board in 1980. St. Armand Supervisor Joyce Morency joined them in 1982 and became the first female county chair in 1995. “When I first came on the board, the good old boys were here and it was a lot different than it is now,” Morency said. “It took a long while to get comfortable because there was a certain amount of control. That’s the way it was done years ago.” The newly elected Ticonderoga Supervisor Deb Malaney, Minerva Supervisor Sue Montgomery-Corey, Crown Point Supervisor Bethany Kosmider and town of Essex Supervisor Sharon Boison join Morency, Lori Lincoln-Spooner, and recent board chair Cathy Moses in the county legislative chambers. Shortly after taking her oath, Malaney reflected on the larger social significance of her election and the forces driving a push to governmental equality. “It’s obviously a sign of the times, it’s a generational shift,” Malaney said. “Women have been in the workforce for sometime now and we are now coming forward to serve.” The seven women now compose 39 percent of the 18-member board, a figure well ahead of most counties, both rural and urban. Several counties in the region have boards composed almost entirely of men. The boards in Warren and Franklin counties, for instance, are entirely male. In Clinton County, women hold only two of the 10 county legislative seats.

challenges and change with proactive strategies. Consumers will always need the applied academics and technical skills to manage their personal, family, career and community lives,” said AAFCS member and Centennial chair Shirley Ware. This exclamation on adapting has led the AAFCS into the 21st century, despite those who think that it no longer holds value in today’s school systems. Barbara A. Woods, who holds a Ph.D. in FACS and teaches at East Carolina University acknowledged the challenges her field faces. “With the focus of education reform and accountability on math and reading, FACS education has been increasingly marginalized and experienced serious decline in schools,” she said. Woods, however, conducted research to prove such doubt to be inaccurate. “There is strong evidence supporting the need for such education, expressly intended to nurture human development and improve quality of life for individuals, families, and communities,” she said. Many believe that FACS appeals to and is necessary for the most basic of successes. “I think family and consumer sciences education will continue to impact students as it helps prepare them for life. Schools need to continue to support FACS departments,” said Leslie Schafer, a SUNY Oneonta freshman studying to be a family and consumer science teacher. Experts in FACS content areas and students studying it at all levels of education arrived in Lake Placid to celebrate their work with live reenactments of Lake Placid Club porch conversations, theatrical presentations by Pam Swallow niece of Ellen H. Richards, and to light a Betty Lamp for the future of AAFCS. The Betty Lamp, derived from the German word “besser”, meaning “to make better”, is the symbol of the AAFCS and best signifies their mission - to improve quality of life. In the Olympic spirit of the region, a torch was lit and passed through the hands of AAFCS members representing its many facets. The ceremony was sponsored by Olympic Regional Development. High school student and Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) state officer Logan Kempney held the honor of using the torch to light the Betty Lamp. He expressed pride in the success of FACS while voicing his concern. “Not enough membership could bring this organization to a sudden halt. In the future of FCCLA and FACS I hope to see people's dreams become realities, not remain dreams,” he said. While celebrating, members of the Centennial Conference took a roll in securing the sustainability of the AAFCS. Workshops and presentations touched on how FACS can adapt to changing times. One such presentation proved FACS keep up with the modern idea of “being green”. “We aren’t just cooking and sewing, we are on the cutting edge of green and we can prove it,” said presenter Ramona Hatch. She claimed that living with respect for the environment is not a new concept to FACS professionals - Ellen H. Richards pioneered the concept over a century ago. As a retired FACS teacher, Hatch spoke to the importance of encouraging students to be eco-friendly and teaching the science and economics that supports such things as natural cleaners, energy conservation, recycling and much more. “We have to honor our past and plant the seeds of our future,” said national AAFCS President Marilyn Swierk in her keynote address to the conference. She encouraged members to “keep the FACS torch burning” in the years to come.

The AAFCS has revised its key issues regarding lifestyle, careers, relationships and much more in order to be relevant in an era of technology and advancement. “Technology is affecting families in ways we don’t even understand yet. Students, families and communities across the nation will continue to benefit from FACS,” said Ware. In its 100 years of existence, the AAFCS has proved that it can withstand change, be effective and continue to influence lives for years to come. The Centennial Celebration in Lake Placid gave FACS professionals a push to overcome the challenges that face the AAFCS in the future. “We have gone through ups and downs, but history has taught us that our field will always be needed - people will always want a better quality of life. We may address different issues in different ways, but the basic need for what we do will always be there,” said Swierk. Editor’s Note: Look in next week’s News Enterprise for a feature article about Family and Consumer Science programs in our local schools.

n a way, I’m glad it’s over. The New York Football Giants let me down more than they have in many, many years. Now I can sit back and enjoy some good games without the usual stress I’ve had to endure this season. But you’re not really interested in reading about my feelings now, are you? We have a new Champion to crown. Despite a season-long back-and-forth with Sue Ringler, and a late push by Troy Galusha and Fred Ohnmacht, among others, Matthew Aldous held on to the lead to take a year ’s worth of bragging rights as the best NFL Picker in the News Enterprise Picking Contest! I’ll be sending Matt a little something for his efforts. It was a record year for our little game, with more than 60 people participating. I know there were some glitches with our first attempt at taking submissions via our Web site, but we’ll work tirelessly this off season to correct that. Thanks to everyone for your kind words – and feel free to express them in a Letter to the Editor (it’ll make it easier to keep this thing going another year!). For my final prognostications: I see the Beagles knocking the crap out of the Cowgirls and the Jets winning big – again – over the Bengals. And while San Diego seems to be pretty hot right now, the Super Bowl will come down to the two teams that deserve it most: Indianapolis vs. New Orleans. It should be a great shoot-out, with tons of yards and lots of touchdowns, and the Colts will come out on top 48-35. Thanks again to all, enjoy the playoffs, and GO BIG BLUE IN 2010!!!

Recreational user fees revisited people. Is it time for a “pay to play” recreation fee? Could such a program offer a regional economic stimulus and enhance the recreational experience? Would the region’s environmental community embrace the idea or go to battle?
Pay to play

espite numerous studies conducted over the years by a variety of entities, there is little current data available on the number of visitors to the Adirondack Park, their preferences for activities or estimates of their expenditures. Due to the fact that there are no gates, toll booths or similar entrances into the Adirondack Park, regional tourism officials can only offer estimates on the total number of visitors to the Adirondack region. The most recent figures provided by the Adirondack Tourism Council estimates that 7 to 9 million tourists stay an average of 2 to 2.5 days each year. However, a federal study reported that 10 million visitors spent about two days (16 to 22.5 million visitor nights) in the Park. Overwhelmingly, the majority of visitors report the primary purpose of their visit was “nature based.” This should come as no surprise, as nearly half of the park’s 6.5 million acres are open to public use and the majority of these lands require no fee. Public access to state lands is free. Given that 90 percent of all Americans claim to have participated in at least one outdoor recreational activity over the last 12 months, the potential economic impact of a fee-based program for recreational access is considerable. Although fewer than 130,000 residents live in the Park year-round, the region hosts an estimated 70,000 seasonal residents and is within a day’s drive for over 90 million
The Adirondack Park, considered one of the world’s greatest experiments in environmental protection, has been recognized as a shining example of a “park with people” that coexist seamlessly with nature. Created as a “Central Park for the world,” the Adirondacks have been kept “forever wild for the free use and enjoyment” by constitutional convention for over a century. Free use of public lands is a component of our national, frontier heritage of free movement. It is a value as sacred as apple pie on the Fourth of July. We live in a place with lands so vast that citizens can generally go where they wish, when they want, so long as they do no harm. The concept of recreational user fees violates the valuable heritage of freedom of movement. However, it is time for those who regularly enjoy this heritage to guarantee that we have quality places to bike, hike, hunt and paddle in the future. If we want to continue to camp and hike, ski and fish, the discussion must begin soon. If the purchase of an Access Pass was mandatory for all users of state lands, instead of being a voluntary contribution, it could generate an enormous amount of funding for conservation, environmental protection and recreational infrastructure. The effort may also serve to reduce some of the friction that currently exists between the park’s various user groups. It would put everyone in the same boat. It's important to note that 100 percent of hunting, trapping and fishing license fees go directly back to conservation. Every time an angler buys a rod or reel, or when a hunter purchases a firearm or a bow, a portion of these funds are also dedicated to wildlife conservation through a built in, federal excise tax on those products. These funds are distributed back to the states based on annual sporting license sales.
SPORTS • NEWS ENTERPRISE - 11 Together, hunters and anglers contribute about $1.9 billion annually to conservation that would not otherwise exist. In fact, hunters and anglers are the nation’s primary source of funding for wildlife conservation. Without their financial contributions, conservation as we know it would cease to exist in our country. For hunters, trappers and anglers, mandatory contributions are included in the purchase of an annual license. But license sales can no longer support everyone’s fish, wildlife and other outdoor sporting adventures. Yet, very few opportunities exist for skiers, paddlers, hikers, birders, bikers, climbers and other non-consumptive outdoor travelers to contribute financially to the Conservation Fund. Too often, hunters and sportsmen fail to recognize the value of all the grunt work that many volunteers put into trail maintenance. It is a myth that 'self propelled travelers' contribute nothing to fund recreation in the Forest Preserve. There simply isn’t a viable method. If outdoor folk want to insure there is available first aid and emergency help for them in bad situations, habitat to enjoy and an educated and user-friendly department, they’re going to have to ante up. We've all got to figure out a method to pay our fair share. Experts in the field agree on the only long-term solution: “Nonhunters and nonanglers-the overwhelming majority of the population-must contribute on a regular basis.” Establishing a fund dedicated to outdoor recreation and trail improvement would assist in the development, maintenance and accessibility of New York’s recreational infrastructure and extensive trail systems. Such an effort would help establish parity between the various user groups and serve to bridge the growing divide between conservationists and environmentalists. Some may view such efforts as the commercialization of public lands or as Edward Abbey labeled it, ‘Industrial Tourism’ and ‘Wreckreation’ or the Disneyfication of outdoor recreation. However, the federal government and several states have already begun collecting user fees. The Federal Lands Recreational Enhancement Act, passed by Congress in 2004, authorized four agencies—the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the U.S. Forest Service—to charge access fees in areas that fall under a broad definition of "high use." In Wisconsin, user fees and state taxes provide most of the money for operating state parks, forests, and trails. The fees include vehicle admission stickers, state trail passes, and camping fees. A trail pass is required for all people age 16 or older biking, in-line skating, horseback riding, or cross-country skiing on certain designated trails. In high use areas at some National Forests, there are now vending machines at major trailheads to dispense trail passes via cash or credit card. Cars parked at select trailheads are required to display a trailhead parking pass, which costs $15 for a season or $5 for three days. Failure to display the pass is punishable by a mandatory $250 fine. Next week’s column will investigate methods to implement, collect and enforce user fees.

SARANAC LAKE — Proponents of legislation to allow the sale of wine in grocery stores throughout New York are hoping the third time is a charm. A new bill that would authorize grocery stores to sell wine is circulating in Albany, despite being shot down twice before – once in 1984 and again earlier this year. This time, lawmakers are hoping the bill will gain momentum on the heels of a report by a Cornell University researcher that claims the state would see significant benefits if grocery stores were permitted to sell wine. Bradley Rickard is an assistant professor of economics at Cornell. By his estimate, introducing wine to grocery stores could bring in an additional $22 million per year in taxes for New York. Liquor stores say allowing wine in grocery stores would harm their business, and many law enforcement officials believe it provides minors greater access to alcohol. But Rickard counters that the current version of the bill would provide compensation to liquor store owners to make up for expected revenue losses. Ralph Eckardt owns Adirondack Wine & Liquor in Saranac Lake. He said the promise of tax credits and compensation from a government that can’t pay its own bills doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. “They want more tax money coming in, and I can’t see how they’re going to make up the difference and send us a check for the money we’ll lose,” Eckardt said. “It just doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t even think they have the money to do that. I wouldn’t even count on that; I think it’s a ploy on their part to make it look good for all the stores like we’re going to get something back for this. Like I said, the state is in such dire straights, they wouldn’t have the money to make up the difference and pay us.” State Sen. Betty Little has been a staunch opponent of any legislation allowing wine sales in grocery stores. Earlier this year, she opposed the bill, which was included in Gov. David Paterson’s 2009-10 executive budget proposal. Dan Mac Entee is director of communications for Little. He said Little’s main concern is liquor stores going out of business across New York. “They wouldn’t be able to compete with larger convenience and grocery stores that are not constrained by the same laws and regulations that apply to liquor stores,” Mac Entee said. Eckardt belongs to a statewide coalition called “Last Store on Main Street.” The group consists of small business advocates, wine store owners and distributors. The message the group hopes to send to Paterson is simple: Stop trying to legalize the sale of wine in large-scale grocery stores. First and foremost, the coalition said, the legislation would force over 1,000 small businesses to close; that translates to the loss of 4,000 New York jobs, according to data on the group’s website. The site notes that wine sales account for between 60 and 80 percent of all sales at liquor stores. Eckhardt estimated wine accounts for about 60 to 70 percent of total sales at Adirondack Wine & Liquor. “It would be a major hit to business,” he said. The other concern is underage drinking. According to Last Store on Main Street, offering wine in grocery stores offer greater access to alcohol for minors. Eckhardt agreed. “A good thing is all the State Police were against the other bills; the sheriff’s departments, Mother Against Drunk Driving. It would just make it more accessible to kids, having wine in grocery stores,” he said. “Whereas in a store like ours, everything is more controlled.” Eckhardt also noted that most area liquor stores are active in the community as well. “A lot of us donate goods to events hosted by Pendragon or the Humane Society,” he said. “I doubt the bigger retailers would do that.” As the state continues to look for ways to close multi-billion-dollar budget deficits in the coming years, Eckhardt said liquor store owners won’t let their livelihoods be sold on grocery shelves.
